Answer for It!

Don’t you see the danger, Elyse, in what you’re doing here? I’ll tell you the problem with the early drafts of Back to the Future. Both AJ and James have read them. You read what others have done, and you took the next step (Back to the Future Part II). You didn’t earn Shakespeare’s Curse for yourself, so therefore you don’t take any responsibility for it. You illegally bought a $276,000 dinosaur skull only for it to be seized by the U.S. government. You patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it, like Zach slaps James, and now you’re selling it! You wanna sell it! Kirk Cameron was so preoccupied with whether or not he could genetically modify a banana, that he didn't stop to think if he should... New episodes every Tuesday.

Somebody call a doctor, preferably a tall one, because Elyse’s questions are D.O.A. She Speeds (1994) through quality Captain Crunch lore, breaking various Texas Bovine Laws as she races to “tear down that wall!” Luckily, the rebel alliance of James, AJ and Zach strikes back.  New episodes every Tuesday.

We oil check ourselves before we rub hog wreck ourselves in this week’s free-for-all question bonanza. Zach ponders whether or not Casper rules will allow him to bring his wheelchair with him to the afterlife; Elyse surprises with a husband-centric Ain’t No Slang; and AJ and James debate the merits of CATS (2019) versus The Cat in the Hat (2003) – both quality cinema.  New episodes every Tuesday.

Clarice Starling could run laps around the FBI's dwindling hacker pool... Why? Plus, what flavor of ice cream did Baskin-Robbins release in 1969 to commemorate the Moon Landing? Which Best Picture nominee did Leo DiCaprio butcher while presenting at the 2014 Golden Globes? And why can’t dogs resist the stinky allure of skunk butts?

Raise your hand if you’re too dumb for science trivia? Great. While AJ, James, and Zach are distracted, we can tell you that this episode features a disturbing story about how to visit Disneyland while you’re in New York City, an unnerving impression of Winnie The Pooh, and someone (we won’t say who) desperately trying to offload the mantle “Piggy of the Podcast”. And that’s all before Elyse asks the second question! So tighten your Gunter’s Chain, gather up your dark matter, and let’s find out why Willie Nelson kept ending up on that road again and again.

Meanwhile, AJ (the Hans Moleman of the podcast) manages to Trojan Cat the show with a riveting new Dad Story (™).

Pucker-up listeners, because men's rights activist and self-proclaimed “good person” James Willems has some pretty juicy ideas about what two consenting males should be able to do on the steps of the nation's capital. Meanwhile, self-defamed manchild Zach ponders his right to exist after Sabrina used her pop carpentry skills to build him a complex. And hand-me-down punnyman AJ finds that jungle cruising outside the podcast for answers is not all it’s cracked up to be. Last but not least, Elyse reminds us that while It may take two brothers to be a single dentist, it only takes one Canadian Bull worth her salt to host, edit and intro the only trivia podcast that can make a prison escape seem like a good idea.

If Zach spills a milkshake in an elevator and his wife cleans it up while he watches on, did it ever really spill at all? We tackle trivia of a moral variety on this week’s episode, with questions such as*: Is it illegal to steal an airplane? Was Babe Ruth actually magic? How cold does Coney Island need to get for two A-list actors to eat sloppy sandwiches in the backseat of a Toyota? … And so much more! It’s time to pull-up a chair, go for a walk, drive your car, or stand in place staring straight ahead, as you listen to Elyse, AJ, James, and Zach “Messy Shaft” Anner prove once again that you don’t have to be smart to have a podcast. *Editor’s note: These aren’t the ACTUAL QUESTIONS from this episode but they DO come up.

While we do proudly hold the title of the world’s premier comedy trivia podcast (or at least that’s what our moms say) we're also hard at work, toiling away behind-the-scenes as the custodians of a groundbreaking, state of the art, Piston Cup archive. Not even the founding fathers of yesterday could've fathomed our turbocharged shrine to Ka-chow: a Library of Congress of high-octane lore, preserving the sacred history of animated 'Cars.' With a discerning eye, we’ve set out to document every Piston Cup winner of the last 76 years. Did you know that Junior “Midnight” Moon, winner of the 1958 Piston Cup, was the best friend of Doc Hudson, the car who trained Lightning McQueen? Sadly, he died in 2019. He was a 1940 Ford Standard Coupe.  Subscribe and leave us a review -- it helps! New episodes every Tuesday.

Just as downloads were increasing, the Answer for It crew have decided to mix things up! This week's episode comes from the mind of Zach as he steps into the role of TRIVIA MASTER (an honorary title that carries no authority). Does he use this as an opportunity to teach James, Elyse, and AJ about major milestones in the progress of accessibility in America? Or keep it silly with no less than TWO Holiday-themed questions?

In this new episode of Answer for It: The future calls via iPhone. James, trivia sniper, proves that he knows more about The Matrix than Zach. We ask ourselves how we should REALLY feel about The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior. Everyone has their own interpretation of what services the fabled ‘Groom of the Stool’ once performed for his well-fed royal liege. We ask what it would take for Superman to swallow his pride and borrow money from Batman. Zach sees all, including his own hallux. ... And much, much more!

When we started this podcast ten episodes ago, we were but four childish trivia nerds who would giggle at mere mention of names like ‘Mosher Butts’ without even considering his indelible contribution to the board game industry! But now, AJ can ask mature, insightful questions like "does Scrabble spell potato?” On episode one, if we had received a bad review, we would’ve spent the whole hour passive aggressively needling the anonymous listener just to prove they didn't hurt our feelings. As adults, we don't need validation from strangers, just James's mom, who isn't just loving the podcast, but learning things she never would've known without it like the sound of her own son's voice. And at the beginning of this journey, Buffalo Zach would've scoffed at Elyse flipping to the sticky pages of the Guinness book to find a record that never would've been set if Alfred Hitchcock hadn't scared people away from taking showers. Now, 10 weeks in, he can calmly voice his protestations, and move on to more adult musings, like, if on those lonely nights, wandering through worlds in Nintendo land without Princess Peach, Mario and Yoshi might've had maritals. Not in a lascivious manner, of course, but in a way that challenges us all to re-examine what we know about love itself. Ten episodes in, we're wiser. We've learned not just about the world but ourselves. We appreciate cinnamon and understand that chocolate isn't ALWAYS cold, and I feel like that's a good thing.

The longer you wait to listen to this episode of Answer for It, the harder it gets! At the top of the show, we honor the memory of brave gelatinous blob Squibbly Bits who died saving his belongings (not kids) from a raging house fire. Then, the group treads stormy waters as James hits the high seas to plunder the depths of his questionable Instagram algorithm, but not before making Operation Mincemeat out of Elyse for falling asleep at the cinema. Zach’s pug-owner card is revoked by a pack of wild Olives. And, as newly crowned rodent sovereign, Rat King AJ declares that one must “never go on a cruise where someone changes your sheets for you.” Subscribe and leave us a review -- it helps!

In the eighth episode of one dead Internet lobster’s most humane podcast, our over-medicated Pokémon and trivia poet, Elyse Wille... I'm sorry everyone. Zach here, breaking the fourth wall. Normally, I like to keep these episode descriptions fun, brief, to the point and concise because I follow AJ's example. But today I'm a little upset. I know you're probably all in magical Scotland thinking, "hey Zach, I'm no Dr. Thunder, but why don't you just take a couple Milotic to chill out?” Well, that would be a disaster! In the beginning of this week's episode, you'll hear James say that he took a health soda out of my fridge that didn't belong to him. Editing gives the impression that I gave him permission to take it, when in fact, it belonged to my roommate, best friend and wife, Karlee. Well, newsflash, audience! That's just Hollywood podcast trickery. What you don't hear is the preceding four hours (which I would've left in) of me being strong-armed by a man with very strong arms -- James Willems -- into relinquishing the fizzy beverage. But make no mistake; James stole that soda then walked around this apartment in beautiful, downtown REDACTED like he was the King of Pop. Even Michael Jackson couldn't refute it because (as we all know) he‘s too busy making those Marvel films. So here I am, using this description to demand an apology. And, if he can't think of one, maybe he should take a cue from his namesake, Jimi Hendrix, and say sorry for once. Otherwise, Elyse is going to have to do the description for next week's episode, and nobody wants to read that because her taste in words is as bad as it is in husbands.

In the seventh episode of america's longest running trivia podcast, Jersey Shore reject Elyse "Leesy D" Willems wrangles the cabs and the queries for three noncanonical Young Indiana Jones-es; James Willems, Zach Anner, and AJ LoCascio, as they reminisce on 300 nonconsecutive shows of nonsensical non-sequiturs. Who could forget such unforgettable moments as that one Christmas Tom Hanks that capped a boy? Or the time when we all realized dolphins faked the moon landing just to make AJ's dad seem like a conspiracy theorist? Even after 300 episodes and fives of questions answered, it's still hard to tell whether we've built a legacy as lasting as the Olympics, or as flimsy as the nest of a bloated Disneyland pigeon.  Either way, here's to another 300 episodes to make it an even 14!
