J&B was back at the trivia version of “The Waltons”, aka Salerno’s (“good-bye J&B”, “good night, J&B”, “good night, John Boy”…), where wins have been few since the 2009 Championship.
Prior to the game, Benkowski visits the J&B table and asks MG about being around one of the Huck Finn locations. MG indicates that he lives near there, and Benkowski indicated he saw MG walking past it and thought, “I think that’s Mr. J&B.”
The competition: Awesome, Auntie J, Peeps, and Team Chicago
First half: Scary Movies/Music ’77 and ‘97/Celebrity Year of Birth

The competition: Awesome, Auntie J, Peeps, and Team Chicago
First half: Scary Movies/Music ’77 and ‘97/Celebrity Year of Birth
1977- sang “Car Wash”?
1984 scary movie was Johnny Depp’s first flick?
1981- scary movie “An American ________ __ ______”?
As you can see from that last one, it was not Benkowski’s strongest night for questions.
During the 1st half, a cute brunette sits at the bar for dinner. She has been around before, but she was particularly noteworthy tonight, wearing a little skirt with either high dark boots or stockings. Dressed like that, could she have been coming from anywhere other than a shift at one of the local strip clubs? Benkowski informs us that she is the owner’s daughter, and J&B now has a huge distraction for the rest of the night (at least some of J&B). She was named “Skirty”.
Scores at the half: J&B 1030 Awesome 860 Chicago 800 Peeps 560 Auntie J 490
Second half: QB Year of Birth/TV 1988/Military Camps
Fort Knox- what state?
Fort Hood- what state?
Camp Pendleton- what state?
On “Empty Nest”- what actresses played the two daughters?
2nd highest rated non-comedy TV show of 1988?
On “Growing Pains”- occupation of Alan Thicke’s character?
On a TV question, J&B guesses incorrectly when MG quickly answers prior to consulting with the rest of the team. As punishment, the “&” is taken from him, the nickname now whittled to “Mr. JB”.
Some guesses for the TV 1988 category: “Marcus Welby MD” and “Columbo”.
Scores after two halves: Chicago 1700 J&B 1570 Auntie J 1510 Awesome 1310
Peeps 990
Final category options:
60s Entertainment
70s Music
90s TV
80s Radio (red flags go up for J&B)
Celebrity Gossip
In the News
Current Major League Baseball
Current National Football League
Instead of the “guess a number” draft, teams were allowed to select their categories in reverse order of their scores. J&B will wager to beat the 3rd place team by 1 if it doubles.
90s TV (Peeps):
On “Roseanne”- what actress from a famous family shared a controversial same-gender kiss with Roseanne?
On “Northern Exposure”- who was the female lead that once dated Mark Grace?
On “Murphy Brown”- what political figure was written into a guest appearance on the show after derisively mentioning it in a speech?
Celebrity Gossip (Awesome):
Taylor Swift’s new song allegedly is about this entertainer?
Christina Aguilera allegedly had a fling with what Lindsay Lohan ex?
When Bill O’Reilly feuded with Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar on “The View”, who was the surprise peacemaker?
In the News (Auntie J):
An ad promoting a November 9th event with several motivational speakers includes these 2 Superbowl winning quarterbacks?
General Motors agreement with what car dealership just ended, rendering all of these cars as “used”?
A British company has invented a follow-up to the bulletproof vest- what did they make?
70s Music (yes- this lasted for J&B):
Sang “Little Green Bag”?
Sang “More More More”?
Sang “5-10-15-20 (25-30 Years of Love)?
80s Radio (Chicago- big mistake, fellas):
WMET had a promo in which the program manager imitated Peter Gabriel so well that what competing radio station complained?
On Q101- all shows from the morning to afternoon drives had the same dj act as fill-in, when needed- who was it?
In 1987, when Benkowski went on vacation, what Blackhawk filled in for his radio duties?
Nobody selected the other categories, but brief summaries and one question will be provided here:
Current MLB (aka Benkowski watches game four of the World Series)
Current NFL (aka Benkowski watches some football games last Sunday)
60s Entertainment: In what movie does Raquel Welch kiss another famous actress, and who was that actress?
Gentlemen?

Final:
Peeps- 990- 90s TV- guesses Ellen DeGeneres (no), no guess for the 2nd question (no), and Bill Clinton (no)- all 3 incorrect- didn’t hear the wager, but probably “thanks for playing”.
Awesome- 1310- Celebrity Gossip- guesses John Mayer (correct), Samantha Ronson (correct), and Elizabeth Hasselbeck (correct)- all 3 correct- with wager plus bonus up to 5410 and the lead.
Auntie J- 1510- In the News- did not catch any of their answers, but they did not win their wager and fell to 390 points.
J&B- 1570- 70s Music- guesses George Baker Selection (correct)…
(let the controversy begin: When given the second question, Benkowski provided the option of learning either the first or last letter of the answer. J&B (ok…Stix) selects the first letter, which Benkowski gives as “T”)…guesses Andrea True Connection…. Benkowski staggers, not sure what to do, pointing out that he gave the first letter as “T”…Stix baffled as to what Benkowski could be getting at…Lazers and Cheial Man thinking the band name might actually be True Connection and should say that…turns out Benkowski was looking for “The Andrea True Connection”…did I hear someone from Awesome suggest that J&B should be allowed to use their Fluff?…Benkowski decides that J&B will get a different question, says a song lyric and asks for the next lyric…Art knows the song but not the next lyric...
…(no), and The Presidents (correct)- two correct- wagered 1451- up to 3021.
Chicago- 1700- 80s Radio- guesses WLUP (correct…duh), Tommy Edwards (correct), and Denis Savard (no)- wagered 1441- up to 3111.
With their stalkerazzi- esque knowledge of Celebrity Gossip, Awesome is victorious tonight!
