4/17 Sports Page Trivia

Time for your latest trivia updates!

Tonight Joe and Noah have a whole new slew of questions ready to go. No better way to defeat this terrible weather than to come on down to the Sports Page, have some drinks, and play some trivia with us!

IMAGE ROUND - Name the band! Simple. Elegant. Classy. Nothing too obscure!

SOUND ROUND - Bands with letters for names. A good example that we didn't use is 'UB40'. Or 'INXS'. Things like that. As usual, name the song and the band.

7PM start time, free as always. We'll make sure to hum trivia right along, and the Twins game should be on the TV. Come on out to the Sports Page and say hi!

Also, make sure to 'LIKE' us on Facebook! Its the best way to stay connected with us, and get the most up-to-date information. Only takes a few seconds!

NFT MVP's. First time trivia WINNERS! Congrats guys.

4/10 Trivia Hints - That Darn Snow!

Happy April 10th! The sun is shining, the grass is green, and the flowers are blooming!

.... wait.... what.... what the hell? Oh come ON! Well then, lets just get through this together, eh?

Trivia is slated for 7PM tonight (Wed. 4/10) at the Sports Page in Bloomington, and as of now we are ready to roll! If the weather starts turning really really sour on us, make sure to check this blog or our Facebook page in case we have a snow delay of some kind.

But we are prepared and ready to have a fun night of trivia! Drive safe and bring some friends out! Chicken wings!

IMAGE ROUND - Video Game Characters. Nothing too obscure!

SOUND ROUND - The Beatles! Today is the anniversary of when Paul McCartney announced he was going to be leaving the group. All the songs we play will be Beatles' songs - you gotta name the song and who is singing it!

7PM and free at the Sports Page. Also, a reminder to "LIKE" us on Facebook! Eventually we will phase out the blog and just do all of our updates on FB - but not for a while yet.

Eric's Repair - Champions on 4/3/13. Go team!

4/3 Trivia info + Check us out on facebook!

Baseball season is here! Weather is getting nice, sports are all over the place, and another trivia is ready to go!

Here are your hints for Wednesday (4/3) trivia at the Sports Page in Bloomington!

IMAGE ROUND - Famous Duos! Exactly how it sounds.

SOUND ROUND - Things you can wear. All song titles revolve around clothing or items that people use to be all fashion-savvy.

We start at 7PM, and FREE as always. Bring your friends out! Should be a great day weather wise, too!

Also, as a notice - we will probably be gradually focusing on updating the Facebook page with more regularity, so that is the resource for you to check out to stay up to date on all the trivia happenings, including hints, winners pictures, and more. You SHOULDN'T need a Facebook account to just view the page, but hopefully it is a safe assumption most of you (if not all of you) are on Facebook? We will try to keep the blog as up to date as possible as well, but don't be surprised if we start focusing solely on the Facebook page in the next few months. The link to our FB page is on the right sidebar. If you have questions, feel free to email us at nerdyfellas@gmail.com, but make sure you CHECK OUT OUR FACEBOOK PAGE!

Party of Five. Last week's champions. Looking good!

3/27 - End of March trivia hints

Wednesday is upon us, so naturally we're gearing up for another fun night of trivia! Would love to see everyone come out and enjoy some nice weather for once - its springtime! Spring into trivia! Don't wanna Spring anything on you guys and gals! Spring.

IMAGE ROUND - MLB Crossword! All of the answers are Major League Baseball team names. Its also a crossword puzzle, which I think is the first time we've done this before. Could be fun?

SOUND ROUND - Royalty (SPOKEN WORD). What does this mean? First of all, all of the songs or bands are related to positions of royalty in a kingdom. But as an added wrinkle, instead of playing song clips, Joe will be READING LYRICS to the songs. An added challenge!

7PM and free at the Sports Page in Bloomington, MN.

STFU! Champions!

2 years in the making!

Just like Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn without the grossness and infidelity, we're Facebook official! Please like us with a quick button click to the right. Or find us at Nerdy Fellas Trivia. Our beautiful faces are easy to spot. We'll post hints and pics and jokes and all sorts of business over there. Please "like" us. Pleeeeeasssse?

3/20 - This is Spring?

Pardon the language, but this weather is bullshit.

Now that we've got that out of our systems... TRIVIA NIGHT! Come get out of the cold and warm up with some drinks, some friends, and some fun.

IMAGE ROUND - March Movies from the Past Decade: All the pictured movies were released in March during the last 10 years.

SOUND ROUND - Drama TV Show Themes. Exactly how it sounds.

Noah is on DJ/sound round duty tonight, so Joe and Mike will be assuming control of the microphones for most of the night. Come on out and play with us? 7PM and FREE at the SPORTS PAGE in Bloomington. Win some prizes!

And wouldn't you know it... we goofed up. Not only did we NOT take a picture of last week's winning team (Kathleen Turner Overdrive), but we forgot to post the team picture for a team that won a few weeks ago. Sometimes we make mistakes.

To KTO: we apologize for missing your picture. Your beauty simply distracted us, rendering us unable to take the necessary photograph. Next time your team is out to trivia, flag us down and we will make good on picture time!

As for Eric's Repair... we want to make it right by posting TWO pictures of your team. Congrats to those guys for their win from a few weeks ago. A job well done deserves to be recognized.

Hints 3/13: The reunion.

What's happening? The band is back together this week to bring you and your friends your weekly dose of trivia. Thanks to all of you and the efforts of our boy, Joe, last week's Joe Show was hugely successful. Luckily for us, and perhaps against his better judgement, he has allowed Noah and myself to return to help with the festivities. It probably has a lot to do with the picture above.

Hints:

Image - Nerds, Dorks, Geeks, Poindexters. Characters from tv/movies that are dweebs and doofuses.

Sound - Dead or Alive. Not to be confused with the video game series featuring the buxom babes fighting or playing volleyball. If you got that reference, perhaps you should send your photo to nerdyfellas@gmail.com, so we can include you in tonight's image round. Beat it, nerd.


Last week's winner: The Condors. Glorious and victorious, once again. Well done!



The bird's the word!

Sports Page, 7pm, free! Hang out, answer questions, win stuff. Remember, it's slightly better than staying home. See y'all tonight!

Whatcha Gonna Do With These 3/6 Trivia Hints, Brother??

Hopefully everyone is well after the annoying snow storm we all just got through. Good news is that we're almost done with all that stuff.

In the meantime, we got some fun trivia action going on tonight! Am I lying? Only one way to find out!

Mike and Noah will NOT be able to host this evening, as both have prior commitments (gambling and porn, respectively) that prevent them from attending. I (Joe) will be hosting with some help from my brother Josh, who you have seen DJing at trivia recently.


IMAGE ROUND: Out of the box cereal. Exactly how it sounds. Can you tell what is what?

SOUND ROUND: Artists/Bands/Entertainers performing in the Twin Cities this year. These people will be at various venues around the area sometime in 2013. Who they be?

Same format for trivia as always! Should still be a great time, and Mike and Noah should both be back next week, doing their sexy, sexy thing.

7PM start time! Free as a bird! Bring some friends out and come hang with Joe and Josh. Best decision of your day!

(Also, we will post a picture of the winning team from last week soon! Congrats to the winning team, which had birthday girl Jennifer on it, as well as Eric's Repair. Yay for winning!)

2/27 - It's Almost March!!!

Its almost March already! Let Jeremiah Johnson give you a knowing nod. That dude has seen some shit. Last trivia of February! Lets get at it!

IMAGE ROUND - Oscar's Best Dressed. These celebs wowed on the red carpet on Sunday. Who are they?

SOUND ROUND - "Vitamin String Quartet Covers Popular Songs". This 4 piece string ensemble is very popular on YouTube, and we have gathered 5 popular songs that they have covered. Can you guess the original artist and song? Nothing obscure!

I would assume as long as we don't vomit all over ourselves (always a concern), we should leave February in style.

All 3 of us (Joe, Mike, Noah) are ready to host, ready for laughter, ready... for love????

7PM as always, free as always, always as always. Sports Page in Bloomington. Bring your friends!

The Condors. Champions last week. Can anyone dethrone them?

Trivia Hints 2/20: The Romantic Aftermath.

Dig it!! Trivia is at the ready for Wednesday night. And what an evening we have in store for you.

For starters, our hints:

Image Round - Car parts. You don't need to be a gearhead or even own a car.
Sound Round - Break up songs. Loneliness and rejection themed. We did songs about love and kisses last week, we're going the other direction this week. It won't be a bummer, but tears may be shed (as per usual).

Standard trivia fare this time around. After last week, we're all out of love, we're so lost without you. Anyway, come join our crew as we hang out and read you some questions. We'll also have a special guest DJ, our friend Rachel. Here she is below with a very handsome, amazing, dashing, charming, Gosling-like fella. She's made a playlist, buttons will be clicked to present that audio bliss to your ears.

Congrats to our winners from last week: EMR. They came up clutch and squeaked out their first win. Well done, gang!

New week, new trivia. Free to play, starts at 7pm. Hope to see y'all there, tell your friends!

2/13 - Romance is in the air

Look into that man's soulful eyes and tell me you're not in love. I dare you.

Wednesday trivia is upon us again, and we are all set for a fun night of trivia - but this isn't our standard trivia tonight. Rather, we are doing our newest THEMED TRIVIA, and that theme IS...

Love and Romance.

All questions will be loosely based around Valentine's Day, which is happening tomorrow. We use the holiday and what it stands for as a jumping off point for what to ask. Seeing as how you see hearts everywhere, we COULD ask a question literally about the human heart. Or a question about chocolate. Or a question about sexy adult-contemporary artists. Make sense?


IMAGE ROUND - Celebrity/Famous love triangles. We will picture two different people, and you need to tell us who the common thread is between them. EXAMPLE: Should you see a picture of Edward Cullen and Jacob Werewolfenstein (apologies, I do not know his last name - you know, from Twilight), your answer SHOULD be Bella Swan. I don't believe we have many fictional couples - for the most part they are real people we are looking for.

SOUND ROUND - Songs about kissing. Keeping it simple today, folks.

We will have goodies and whatnot to give out, as well as prizes for first, second, and third place, as per usual. Joe and Mike are hosting tonight, as Noah is on the disabled list for this evening. He should be back next week!

7PM start time, FREE as always! Bring your friends! Or your enemies! Its Valentine's Day - let love grow!

2/6 Trivia - All Aboard the Mikey Choo-Choo

So apparently we've been reduced to this. Seems appropriate.

We're all set for another edition of our superstar-filled Wednesday Night Trivia at the Sports Page. Joe's brother Josh will be the DJ for this evening, so we will get a little variety on music offerings for this evening. Josh WILL be playing trivia as well, but we assure you great pains have been taken to ensure no shenanigans will occur - he has no prior knowledge of any questions or anything. You have our NF-guarantee.

IMAGE ROUND: Which celebrity is missing from these comedy posters? The face that you have to guess has been blacked out. Who is it?

SOUND ROUND: Up and Down. As an added wrinkle, not only do you have to guess the artist/band and song title, but ALSO (within 3 years) try to guess when the song was released. 3 points per line. Should add a new dimension to the sound round.

7PM as always, free as always, always as always. 

REMINDER: Wednesday, February 13 is our next THEMED TRIVIA: "Romance and Love" is the theme. Bring some tissues!

... for tears, silly.

Team Dragonhawk. Last week's winners. Looking good, ladies and gents!

Hints 1/30/13: A celebration of 2 years of nonsense.

My oh my, we made it to see 2 years. We thank you so much for the support and would love to have you celebrate with us as we hit a pretty cool milestone. From our very humble beginnings to where we are now, it wouldn't be possible without you guys (a nice remodel helped, too). Join us as we start our trek towards year 3. We'll have cupcakes, y'all. Maybe a bonus prize or two as well!

Hints:
Image - Super Bowl Commercials
Sound - Man or Woman? No naming song titles or artists this week, just simply identify if you hear a man or a woman. 50/50 odds but Manti Te'o would be so confused. I promise I'll let this story die after this week.

Joe , Noah, Mike + you! Tell your friends, bring your friends.

Congrats to last week's champion, Eastsiders. Everyone laughed and mocked and ridiculed and pointed fingers and passed judgement but fate told them to have a pencil at the ready. Who's laughing now? Can they repeat their succcess this week? Only one way to find out. Well, I guess you could just check here next week or ask a friend who was in attendance too. Ummm....

Hints 1/23: Cold as F.

Sup gang? Wednesday night, trivia night, we bring it to you at the Sports Page at 7pm. I (Mike) return from my brief hiatus and I promise NOT to bring any germs that I may have inherited in the last couple of weeks. I DO promise that Joe and Noah will be there to join me as we bring you our goods. The goods being our dashing good looks, genius level (?) trivia questions, and undeniable charm (and modesty!). Moving on, here's our hints....

Image Round - Snowiest U.S. Cities
Sound Round - "Think Warm Thoughts" a piece by Noah Paster

A historic three perfect scores last week. Why do these things happen when I'm away?! Very impressive but there can only be one winner, congrats to our winning squad last week, Derek Zoolander. The latest and greatest team to join the winner's circle.

Don't let the chilly weather prevent you from coming out and having a good time. 7pm tonight! Be there! Or not, your choice, this is 'Merica.

1/16 Trivia Info!

Matt Damon.

Good day to you all! Another round of Sports Page Wednesday Night Trivia is all set up and ready to roll! Excited to bring you yuks, clucks, and aw-shucks!

Mikey Manosack unfortunately will be out again tonight - but we fully expect him to return next week! In his place, Noah and Joe will do their best to be half the host that he is. So expect both of us to bring 1/4 effort...? That doesn't sound right. Scratch that.

IMAGE ROUND - Matt Damon. Guess the movie! Noah is on a Damon kick, apparently. Who could blame him? So handsome!

SOUND ROUND - Disney songs. Name the song title and the Disney movie it is from. Nothing obscure.

7PM start as always. Free as always. Get there early for a table! Should be a fun night!

Winners for the past two weeks - Seoul Patrol. Who will knock them off the throne??

1/9 Trivia Hints and High-Fives!

Just a reminder of what Packers misery looks like. It looks so good. Hopefully Dom Capers' "vaunted defense" doesn't let you down like usual. (This message brought to you by bitter Vikings fans.)

Trivia night is tonight! 7PM @ the Sports Page in Bloomington. A whole new slew of questions ready to go. Noah and Joe are reporting for duty, while Mike goes on the 7-day disabled list with illness. Get better Mike!


IMAGE ROUND: Return of Wuzzles! Visual word puzzles for you to try. You can find them in the Variety section of your newspaper.

SOUND ROUND: New Wave Music. Noah is alllll over it for this evening.

Apologies for not posting an image of last week's winning team - we will update later if we are able.

Free as always! Bring your friends! 7PM!

Hints 1/2/2013

Happy New Year! First trivia of the year and it's going to be a theme night. Everything will be about the year that was 2012. It'll be beneficial to know a lot of the big names and new events that occured last year as that will be the focal point.

Image Round: Movies of 2012
Sound Round: Songs of 2012

All three of us will be there tonight, as should you! Sports Page, Bloomington, 7pm, tell your friends!

Also, make sure to check our year end awards right below this post. It may kind of, sort of factor into our bonus prize tonight.

Double also, here's last week winners. Congrats to Harold of the Rocks. Welcome to the winner circle!

Harold of the Rocks

2012 Year End Awards!

Hey gang! Here's an attempt for us to connect with you. We compiled a best of the year list for 2012. Your trivia gang came up with our favorites for 20 different categories. Feel free to comment on here or at trivia with your thoughts!


1) Movie

Joe: Dark Knight Rises. Amazing ending to a brilliant story.
Mike: Moonrise Kingdom. Beautifully done, quirky, charming. Loved every second of it, outside of the fish hooks scene. That hurt my tum-tum.
Noah: 21 Jumpstreet.

2) TV Show

Joe: Breaking Bad takes the crown this year, but The Newsroom get my nod for best newcomer.
Mike: Catfish on MTV. Loved the movie, translated into a really fun, addicting show.
Noah: Tie: Luther/Louie.


3) Actor

 

 

 

Joe: Daniel Day Lewis in "Lincoln", although Leonardo DiCaprio in "Django Unchained" is a close second.
Mike: Aziz Ansari makes me laugh every time he's on screen. That's charisma, folks.
Noah: Nick Offerman.

4) Actress

 



 

Joe: Amy Adams in "The Master"

Mike: Zooey Deschanel.

Noah: Emily Blunt.

 

5) Song 

 

Joe: Demi Lovato "Give Your Heart A Break" (click to play) So damn catchy.

Mike: Carly Rae Jepsen "Call Me Maybe" (click to play) This song ruled my year. Honorable mention to Grimes "Oblivion". It was a good year for female Canucks music.

Noah: Katy Perry "Wide Awake" (click to play)

 

6) Band/Musician

Joe: One Direction. Heard my first song here at trivia, that's gotta count for something, right?
Mike: Mumford and Sons. Huge year for these boys. I was into it.
Noah: Beach House.

7) YouTube Video

Joe: "Gangnam Style" blew up for a reason. Weirdest 5 minutes of my life.
Mike: Dancing with an iPod in Public. Technically, the video I'm referencing was from Nov. 2011, but he's made a couple follow ups and I didn't see this video until this holiday season. It's a feel good video unlike that S. of a B. called Psy. Don't judge me.
Noah: Scare Pranks. Tie with DJ Steve Porter's videos.

8) Website

Joe: Reddit. If Facebook and Craigslist fucked and had a kid, this would be it. Sort of.
Mike: Facebook. Outside of  Ericsrepair.com, the official car care provider of Wednesday trivia, I'm probably on Facebook the most. It's a daily visit. FRIEND ME!
Noah: Profootballtalk. Tie with dailymail.uk

9) Internet Meme

Joe: Overly Manly Man. Bullocks!
Mike: McKayla is not impressed.
Noah: Jay Cutler smoking. Tie with Grumpy cat.

10) Video Game

 

Joe: Tetris for iPhone. Good night.
Mike: WWE '13 for XBox 360. It's the only one I played for more than an hour outside of Noah's choice.
Noah: WWF No Mercy for Nintendo 64. Bringing it back.

11) Phone App

Joe: Twitter. Instant news. Revolutionizing information as we know it.
Mike: Temple Run. So much potential productivity lost.
Noah: Instagram.

12) Athlete

Joe: LeBron James. MVP, Champ, Finals MVP, Gold Medal. Love him or hate him, Sports Illustrated nailed this one.
Mike: Anthony Tolliver. Sentimental favorite. I miss him more than anyone should. Noah and I got to meet the Tollipop this year and it was a definitely a personal highlight for 2012.
Noah: Adrian Peterson.

13) Sports Moment

Joe: Vikings beat Packers to get into playoffs. Runner-up: Parise/Suter sign with Wild on July 4th.
Mike: Vikings make the playoffs! Rollercoaster of a game, a lot of fun, a ton of anxiety, and now we technically have a chance for the Super Bowl.
Noah: Eli Manning to Mario Manningham Super Bowl connection.

14) Hottest chick

Joe: Kate Upton. Unbelievable
Mike: Olivia Munn.
Noah: Jennifer Lawrence.

15) Hottest dude

Joe: Ryan Gosling. The Baby Goose until further notice.
Mike: Ryan Gosling. Biggest no brainer ever.
Noah: Anderson Cooper.

16) Restaurant

 

Joe: Tilia. Good stuff.
Mike: Blackbird Cafe. 38th and Nicollet. Check it out.
Noah: Lucky's 13. Great beer specials and nachos are great.

17) Drink

Joe: Crispin Cider. Crispin + Ice = nothing better. Except for sex. And even then...
Mike: McDonald's Iced Coffee with Vanilla. I wake up too early and I needed a jolt one day. Bought one of these cups of sugar and caffeine and have been addicted since.
Noah: Angry Orchard.

18) Person of the Year

Joe: Psy. Dominated all of 2012. Against our better judgement.
Mike: Victoria Soto. Truly heroic teacher who sacrificed herself for the safety of the children of Newtown.
Noah:  Teachers, students, authorities, families, etc. who lived through the Newtown shootings.

19) Person/Place/Thing/Idea that seemingly dominated our trivia questions

Joe: Taylor Swift. Let's make a pact - No Swift in '13, deal?
Mike: I used to write weekly Jersey Shore questions, but I feel like we probably give too much attention to pro wrestling. That being said, Wrestling themed trivia sometime in 2013! Believe it!
Noah: Psy. No more after this mention.

20) Trivia Moment

Joe: Bachelor Auction. You boys got bought!
Mike: Christmas, the remodel, charity night were all fantastic but I what I will remember most is my struggles with reading. I tend to talk fast and I recall practicing so I wouldn't slip up when saying the word "buttonhole". Of course, I end up messing it up and reading the word as "butt hole".
Noah: Debut in the newly remodeled room.

So there it is, that's 2012 for us. Did we forget anything? Let us know! It was a fun year hanging out with all of you guys and we're ready to bring on 2013 with all it has to offer. It's time to make some new memories at the Page. Take care, gang!
