Bail granted...and denied!

Welcome New Biggies and Loyal Players of the Big Trivia Show!

Another week by the boards. Not a boring one, that's for sure! We saw the government "rescue" big business, We say a VP debate that was one of the highest rated debates ever, I repeat...one of the highest rated debates ever!! Nothing "mavericky" about that!! and OJ Simpson going to jail for potentially a long time for trying to steal back his own stuff! You knew they'd get him somehow.

On the homefront, we had another week of great shows including one at our newest venue Smokey Bones Bar and Fire Grill at Waterford Lakes. What a great venue! Thanks to Lindsey, Jake, Heather, Maria, and all the great servers and staff. Just wait until we really get it rolling! Should be a site to see!

Now for this week's review and awards!

This weeks BIG Trivia Show's BIG Team of the Week goes to a dedicated bunch of Red Sox fans. Not only do they love their baseball, but also for their trivia! Need proof? These guys not only represented huge on Thursday at Coasters (where they normally play), but also came to play at Smokey Bones.....and won there too!!!! Much like Boston going on the road and punking the Angels, these guys will play anyone....and win anywhere!!

Therefore, congrats to The Bay Sox!

New Contest idea/Going on a Trip

Hello Biggies (old and new)!

As we reflect on another succesful week, I have decided to institute a new contest for the "Phraze That Payz" and the Word of the day. I like both concepts very much as it only rewards the loyal, dedicated players of the Big Trivia Show. However, as this show expands to include a daily Happy Hour crowd, I realized that one phraze per week is not sufficient. So therefore, I have come up with this new and exciting challenge.....

A 5 Word Phraze That Payz! (JUMBLE STYLE!!!!!)

As Styx once said......I have too much (clap clap) time on my hands!

Here's how it will work.

I will come up with a 5 word sentence or "phraze" at the beginning of each week with the 5 signifying the 5 days of the week that you can catch me live.

I will jumble each individual word with the first word being the one you descramble and use on Monday. The second you would descramble and use on Tuesday, etc.

As Don Henley said........Are you with me so far?

So, this week's Five Word Phraze That Payz (Jumble Style) Theme is "Taking a trip". I am leaving next Friday for a weekend in Pennsylvania to see my family. I will return Monday afternoon refreshed and full of vigor.

These Five words make up a sentence having to do with taking a trip. You must descramble the words one at a time and write each individual word on the corresponding day.

Here are the jumble words/sentence....

Monday-RENIALI

Tuesday-VTERLA

Wedensday-QRIESEUR

Thursday-TNPIAET

Friday-OELPEP

Good Luck! Each Individual Word is worth 3 extra points on your quiz. In addition, writing the complete sentence on your sheet on Friday will be qworth and additional point as well! 4 point Fridays if you will.

Alright, now that you are throughly intrigued, confused, frustrated, and over this blog, lets quickly run through this week's winners!

Paddy Murphy's on Tuesday saw "Eight Beers is not Enough" take home the prize in Game 1 and "Michelle" (with two L's) winning Game 2! What a boisterous crowd you were. Can't wait til next week!! Remember, the show starts at 8pm.

Coasters Sports Pub inside Boarwalk Bowl saw "I Peed in ur Pool" winning Game 1 by two points over "You Bitch, You Slut, You Whore". Yeah, it was fun!! Game Two went to "Supa Dupa Fupa" by two points over "Team Ramrod" in an excelerating contest!

I gotta ask....where are all of my (former) Bennigan's teams??? Disco Werewolves? Binary Ninjas? Smart Asses? and the rest??? We miss you and hope to see your smiling faces sometime soon!! Otherwise, The Pool Pe'ers will continue to never have to pay for one single drink! You're missing out!!

I'll see all of you Thursday Night at 9pm!

Finally, I've gotta give props to my ever growing but very loyal Copper Rocket crowd. Big thanks to "Beer Nads", "Partly Cloudy", and of course..."I Like Beer"! You guys make it happen and I want you to know I appreciate it! I also want to welcome "I Need a Beer" to the mix at Copper Rocket! I'm there Mon, Tue, Thur, and Fri from 530-7p for the "Happiest of Hours" so if you've been thinking of checking it out, this week is the week!

I want to let you know that my best friend Cornell will be filling in for me at Copper's on Friday and Monday so (don't) take it easy on him! He'll be ready!! Thanks Cornell, you are a true friend!

So, wish me luck on my northerly excursion. Leave a comment at the bottom of the blog so I know you were here, take the poll (hehe), and spread the good word of the Big Trivia Show to all you know! Remember, you get an extra point per new person you bring to play! Just gotta let me know they are new.

Until next week Biggies....Good Times

Great Week/Bad Laptop...Bad!!

Hello Biggies!

Thanks for another great week of trivia!

We welcomed Copper Rocket to the fold on Monday for Happy Hour. It is a terrific venue and will only continue to grow. Just have to get that construction finished! Thanks to the management and staff for their support! Here's to continued success!!

Paddy Murphys and Coasters were rockin as well! These are two outstanding and supportive venues that love what we do and appreciate the fact YOU are there! It is and will continue to be a pleasure to do what I do for You as well as for them!! It is nice to have the support and appreciation from the staff and management! The best news is...It will only get better!

Congrats to this week's winners. At Paddy Murphys, it was "Beer" taking 1st place in Game One and the "Poly-esters" taking Game Two! Congrats to both teams and good luck next week!

Congrats to our winner's at Coasters as well. The prizes are impressive and more than generous. The place is impressive to say the least and we actually used one of our new tie-break methods to determine the winner of Game Two. I look so forward to Thursday nights and I hope to see you all there this coming week! Its a blast!

I will also be filling in at Rival's tomorrow for Curtis so I hoope to see you all there for two exciting games of Earth Trivia!

This is the first blog I have ever composed from my home computer. Up until February, I never had a laptop but I finally broke down and got one. Man, what a concept...a mobile computer!! How did I ever live without one?

Well, I am realizing how much not having one sucks!! It has succomb to an injury and must be put on the disabled list. It is not a software problem so I am hopeful it can be repaired relatively quickly. In the meantime, I will revert back to early 2008 and get back in touch with ole' "Homey" here. I realize things could be alot worse but doing the radio show and other business type things are alot easier on the go.

Anyway, This week's PHRAZE THAT PAYZ is "BROKEN LAPTOP". Write this Phraze on your answer sheet at one of my night time shows and receive 3 extra points on your quiz!

For Happy Hour at Copper Rocket, remember to use the Monkey Word of the Day to receive extra points on that day's quiz. The Monkey Word link is located on the side panel of the blog. Thanks to Curtis Earth for allowing me to use the Monkey Word for my shows!

In closing, Thanks again to all of you for coming out and playing! I hope to see you all at the shows and remember to give GAMESHOW RADIO a listen (and a call too!!). We are giving away golf for four this week but you have to call to win!!

Also, check out Curtis blog for information on the First Annual Trivia Cruise!! It will be January 22nd. A four day cruise to Cazamel and the best part?? Cabins start under $300!!!

Email Curtis: curtis@gameshowradio.net for more information!

Until next week......GOOD TIMES!

Steads

Let the good times roll.......

Hello Biggies!

What an awesome debut at Coasters Sports Pub we had Thursday night!! What a venue huh? It was made to host trivia wouldn't you agree?

Special thanks to all the loyal Biggies that made the trip and huge thanks to the management and crew that made me and all of you feel so welcome. Thanks to Keith, George, Dominic, and our smarty bartender Crystal! I am looking forward to a long lasting relationship with Coasters! You guys are awesome! Plus, I think I found a new way to break ties. For those who were there, you know what I'm talking about but for those who couldn't make it, you'll have to come next week to see what I mean. Trust me, it'll be fun!!!

This Monday begins a new Big Trivia Show chapter as well. We officially say hello to Copper Rocket in Winter Park for some Happy Hour Trivia. The show begins at 5:30 and goes until 7. Come on down and check out the Copper Rocket. They have done alot of refurbishing and it looks great!! Should be alot of fun!

The Paddy Murphy's Show at Baldwin Park is going on its third week and the folks have really taken to it! Special thanks to Tom and Heather for their support. Make sure to join us for two fun games of Trivia beginning at 8pm!

Alright, now for our winners. At Paddy Murphy's, it was "I can't believe Rubin is paying for all of this" taking home the big prize. They were a large boistorus group of veterinarians and they were not to be denied! Congrats guys!! Also, special thanks to "Little Bit and the Others" for once again playing a great game and remembering to yell JUMBLE!! It always makes the game more fun!

Big Trivia veterans "I peed in your pool" represented huge at Coasters by picking up where they left off at Bennigans with two impressive victories! It is teams like this that make the show worth doing for me. Thanks for your loyal suppoort and for spreading the word! It was you who made the first night so very enjoyable!

Alright, here is this week's PHRAZE THAT PAYZ. Be sure to write this PHRAZE on the spece provided on your answer sheet to receive 3 extra points on your overall score. Remember, you can only get credit for it once per game so use it wisely. Here it is.....

"Box Club" (pictured above).

Should make for a fun way to break ties. Of course, if punching is not your thing, you may elect to have someone punch for you or perhaps we'll let you throw a dart. We'll cross that bridge when we have to.

Anyway, have a wonderful 4th of July!! Look out for the amateur drivers and be safe!

I'll see ya at the shows!!

Until then,

Good Times!

Steads

Business is about to pick up round here

Hello Biggies,

First, I want to thank each and every darn one of you who came to the inagural show at Paddy Murphy's in Baldwin Park. At the risk of jinxing myself, I have a really good feeling about that venue! I think I may have found a nice long-term home. I will say, it helps that they are not a franchise and therefore have vision......what? too harsh?

Anyway, congrats to our first Paddy Murphy winners LITTLE BIT & THE OTHERS! They are Big Trivia converts as they have played Curtis' show numerous times and been succesful! Welcome aboard Little Bit and the Others. May your run as a Biggie be as long as your run as an Earthling (or whatever he calls his teams:)

Thanks also to Paddy Cakes, Mac Babes, Second Hand Smoke and Tispsy McStagger and his Boozebag Jamboree for making our first night special! Here's to the future!!

This week will be even better with the addition of Coasters Sports Pub located inside Boardwalk Bowl! This show has a chance to be huge as well! What a great venue this is. It screams trivia!! You will see what I mean when you join me for the show this Thursday at 9pm!!! Come one....screw it...COME ALL!!! Let's show the owners that they made the wise choice as they will now be the Thursday home of the Big Trivia Show. As for our former Thursday home.....eh....nah. They will find out soon enough on what they missed. I am counting on you guys to bring the funk so I hope to see you all this Thursday! Here is the address in case you're not sure where it is.

Coaster’s Sports Pub
Boardwalk Bowl
10749 E Colonial Dr
Orlando, FL 32817

Next monday (July 7th) will mark the debut of the Big Trivia Happy Hour Show at Copper Rocket. That will be a daily show from 5:30-7p. Please spread the word!

Before I give you the Phraze that Payz, let me tell you what happened to me this weekend! I had my house sprayed for bugs and my bug guy noticed something peculiar in the back yard. It was brown, oddly shaped, and full of berries....Give up????

IT WAS BEAR POOP!!!!! That's right, an actual Bear said hello to me and left his mark by dropping a berry filled duece right by my daughter's swing set. Living in Apopka does have its occurences and this is by far a first for me!!

So this weeks PHRAZE THAT PAYZ IS...............BEAR POOP!!!!!

Wriete this disgusting phraze in the "Phraze That Payz Is.." space and receive 3 extra points on your overall score for the game.


Hope to see you all at Paddy Murphy's and Coasters. Remember, recruit a new BIGGIE and receive a point for each person you bring!

Until we meet again!!

Good Times

Steads

"The Bear Poop Guy"

Guess who's back...back again....

HELLO BIGGIES!!!!!

You just can't keep a good (or even an "ok") trivia host down for long!

Yes, minor setbacks were suffered by Bennigans and Smokey Bones but where one (or two) doors closes.......

THREE DOORS OPEN!!!!!!

That's right! The BIG Trivia Show will have three new venues to choose from starting TONIGHT!!

I am pleased and honored to announce Paddy Murphy's in Baldwin Park will be the new Tuesday night home of the BIG Trivia Show. The show kicks off at 8pm. Paddy Murphy's is located on New Broad St overlooking beautiful Lake Baldwin! I am so excited about bringing trivia to Baldwin and am even more excited to have you...my friends...come and join me for the kickoff show tonight! Hope you can make it!

Bennigans loss becomes Boardwalk Bowl's gain!! That's right! Starting Thursday July 3rd at 9pm, you will be able to catch the BIG Trivia Show at Coasters Sports Pub right inside Boardwalk Bowl at 10747 E. Coloniel Dr. I am really hoping to see alot of my Bennigan's Biggies at this show. I really want to thank Boardwalk Bowl for the opportunity to bring Earth Trivia aboard. Lets make them happy they did it!

Now for the third exciting bit of news.....BIG HAPPY HOUR TRIVIA COMES TO COPPER ROCKET IN MAITLAND!!

More information as it come available! Thanks so mych to Kevin and the crew at Copper Rocket! Your gonna love our show!
