Welcome to Winter 2025 Folks! Our season won't start for real until the 29th, but we weren't about to miss Welcome Week!

So get your butts down to The Lazy Owl this Wednesday at 7pm for 5 rounds of pre-season trivia fun :)

Check the poster for hints, and if that's not help enough here's a freebie: "magnetism"

Happy New Year!

Just a quick update in regards to the Winter 2025 trivia season:

Unfortunately I won't be renewing my show at The Lobby Kitchen and Bar this season and I'm opting to put a pause on the Twitch.tv streams for now.

Live Trivia will however be returning to The Lazy Owl at the University of Regina. I'll be hosting their Welcome Week event on Wednesday Jan. 15th, and then the season proper will begin on Wed January 29th and continue every Wednesday night from then on. All shows will be the typical 7pm-9pm(ish).

I'm sorry to pull the rug out from under the Lobby and Twitch players here, but I'm afraid the multiple venues last season was just a bit too much and the burnout was getting too real. If you're able to make it to The Owl this season I'll be happy to see you, but if not I completely understand.

To those who won’t be able to make it out to The Owl, thank you so much for playing these past few years, both online and at The Lobby. It’s truly been a treat getting to know you fine folks. 🙂

- Jay

P.S. There's a chance a friend of mine might be starting up a Name That Tune night at The Lobby, but I won't know for sure until the end of the week, stay tuned!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 🎅

Maybe a bit too much in fact- Once you're done shoveling your house out be sure to get your butts down the The Lobby Kitchen + Bar for our Holiday special and our last show of the year!

The fun starts on Thursday at 7pm, cya there!

I Ho-Ho-Hope you can make it to our Holiday Special and Windup Party this Wednesday at The Lazy Owl ! 🎅🏻

Be sure to check the poster for free answers, then slap on your ugliest Christmas Sweater and get your butts to The Owl, or join us online on Twitch.tv/MrSmartyPints

Oh, and because The Owl is closed next week it means we're running our windup party at the same time! So if you came out this season, even just once, be sure to claim your free beer tickets from the front when you get there.

P.S. Our Windup at The Lobby will be this Thursday, and the Lobby Holiday Special will be on the 19th.

It has recently come to my attention that former Owl and Twitch trivia team "The Quizzards of Oz" have found their way onto Pop Culture Jeopardy on Amazon Prime Video, super cool!

04/12/2024

This is it folks, our season finale! We'll be back with our season windup and our holiday special, but this is your last night to score points for the season before we crown our champions! No free answer up for grabs this week, but we've got lots of hints for you in the atatched poster

See you Wednesday at The Lazy Owl / live on (Twitch.tv/MrSmartyPints) or Thursday at The Lobby Kitchen + Bar. Both shows start at 7pm CST.

26/11/2024

It's been a few weeks since I asked you folks to submit some of your own trivia questions, and boy did you ever! We've got a whole night of player submitted content coming your way this Wednesday at The Lazy Owl and Thursday at The Lobby Kitchen + Bar each at 7pm CST.

There's no free answers this week as I'd hate to give away the answer to someone's perfectly crafted question, but there are handful of hints in the poster for you to sus out :)

Can't make it? no worries! Join us on Twitch at 7pm CST / 8PM ET on Wednesday: https://twitch.tv/MrSmartyPints

Welcome to November folks! We've got one more week here before we take our second and final break of the season. So join us for 5 rounds at The Lazy Owl on Wednesday or The Lobby Kitchen + Bar on Thursday, both shows start at 7pm.

Sorry but there won't be a Twitch stream this week, but we'll be back online on Nov 20th :)

No need to comment (though comments and shares are always appreciated!) your free answers and hints galore can be found in this week's poster.

Sorry folks, but I need to cancel Twitch this week (Nov. 6th). The reasoning is convoluted but it involves a bunch of overlapping private events and the training of a backup host to help over the holidays.

I'm sorry for the short notice and I hope you can find something else to fill your Wednesday night. Next week is an off-week so unfortunately this means I won't be seeing you until Nov. 20th. 😞

Trivia will still be running as normal at both The Lobby and The Owl.

We've got 5 spooky rounds at both The Lazy Owl / on Wednesday at 7pm CST, and at The Lobby Kitchen + Bar on TUESDAY this week at 7pm CST (note The Lobby will revert back to Thursdays next week for the rest of the season).

Good news folks, I'm giving away the free answer this week without any work on your part! No comment necessary, just check out the poster for your venue!

The bad news, however, is I'm doing this just to soften the blow as I remind you there is NO TRIVIA next week (Oct. 16/17) :(
