Where to Begin

Hello Biggies and Loyal Players of the Big Trivia Show.

We have a great deal to get to so let’s get to it!

First and foremost, I will be out of town next week (July 6th-July 9th), however, trivia will continue. Cat Hicks will be filling in for me and will handle all of my shows. Please come on out and play and be sure to show her the same respect you do me (wink wink).

Thanks Cat for handling my shows next week and thanks to each and every one of you for continuing to support the BTS!

Secondly, a former BTS venue is coming back on board. I am still prohibited from mentioning the particulars as they are still being finalized but let’s just say I have missed the folks their and it’s good to have them back in the fold. More on that very soon!

Thirdly, I just got back from a weekend trip up to western Pennsylvania. I really needed to get away especially since my air conditioning is out in my house. It was my grandmother’s 86th birthday, and I am happy to report she is still going strong and is simply the most amazing person I have ever met. Can’t wait to celebrate #87 next year!

And lastly, I played the Delta Airlines In-Flight Trivia Challenge from Atlanta to Orlando which was a lot of fun! I wrote down five of the questions I thought were the most interesting. This is what were gonna do this week. Instead of a Phraze That Payz, I have decided to list the five questions below and it will be up to you to find the five answers to those questions and write them on your answer sheet. Just simply write the answers in any particular order and I will reward you with 5 extra points on your overalI score.
I will also include a one point extra credit question. Good luck and………

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

This week’s BTS Team of the Week pulled of a rare Trivia Trifecta! Not a surprise being that they are already Hall of Famers, but it is still a feat that has only been accomplished one other time and is a feat that commands attention. Though they call Gators Dockside home, they appeared at all three BTS weekly venues. They won the two round game at Smokey Bones Tuesday, and then capped it off by defeating all comers at Gators Dockside Wednesday and at Coasters on Thursday. Need more? They did it with a mixture of different team members each time. That is impressive indeed.

It is my pleasure to congratulate our BTS Team of the Week…..Van Gundy’s Mustache Ride

They will earn 3 extra points on their next quiz at Gators Dockside!
