2.23.15 Malone's Cafe - Trivia

When playing Trivia, it can be very important to try approaching questions and answers from a different angle or point of view. This skill is equally important when hosting Trivia and is something Dice takes pride in when putting on a show. For starters, when I receive the questions, I typically try to "play" the show as though I were a contestant. Often this is a crucial step in Dice's playlist creation, but more importantly, it reminds Dice why he hosts Trivia more often than he plays. This reminder also eliminates any "Trebek Phenomenon" that some hosts experience where they forget that all the answers are right there in front of them!

Monday at Malone's, desiring to create a different perspective, Dice set up his equipment on the other side of the room from his usual table. Although less centralized, the new TJ-booth offers plenty of room for Dice to get his groove on, a better view of all the teams playing Trivia, and significantly improved sound quality. Dice loved the new TJ-booth, especially the full hot sauce bar that seems to come with it!

TEAMS: Breaking news, BRIAN WILLIAMS WON A TRIVIA SHOW (83) after discovering America, landing on the moon, and acing the final round of tonight's contest. Winning the David vs. Goliath battle, BLASTER RACCOON BATTALION (79) took down the mighty MY DRINKING TEAM HAS A TRIVIA PROBLEM (79) in the tie-breaker. In a tale-of-two-halves, POOP SHOOT RIOT (67) put first-half woes behind them with an almost perfect second-half. Dice was ready to sic SIT UBU SIT (63) on the question writers, but a perfect sixth round and final round convinced Ubu to be a "good dog." Unfortunately unpixelated, POOP COCK E (46) showed us all that rhyming with bukkake might be worse than bukkake itself.

Try taking a little different look (at life, not bukkake), and have a great week Malone's! See you next Monday at 7:30pm!
