  • #55: Too Much Moo-Moo Juice in the Fart Barn

    Support us on ⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠!⁠⁠ patreon.com/answerforit

    What is "cute aggression," and are we the victims or the perpetrators? Plus, we've all got MAIL, including Meg Ryan, who got so many e-mails on the '90s rom-com set that it prompted her to do what? Speaking of 90s, if 90 cows in a German barn fart too much, does anyone live to tell the tale? And later in the episode, we pick our favorite Weird Al songs, perhaps to Madonna's chagrin, and give away the first ever Marc John Jeffries People's PC Award.

  • #54: Did We Uncover the Dumbest Bank Robbery in History?

    Get bonus episodes over at: patreon.com/answerforit

    FINALLY a throughline! Listeners beware, this episode gets a little scary, as Zach teases us with the story of the teeny squatter abusing his bidet. Then, our episode kicks-off with a question from James' childhood friend, Corey, who's unsure if the 999 Challenge is the New York Mets' attempt to appeal to their German fans or something actually related to baseball. Plus, a 1798 robbery of the Bank of Pennsylvania may have been committed by the dumbest criminal in history; friend of the show Blaine Gibson gets Zach riled up with Commando (1985) trivia; Rollercoaster or Horror Movie makes an epic yet terrifying return; and no, AJ was NOT the winner of the Ace Venture: When Nature Call birth-butt rhino auction (but one can dream).

  • #51: Why did Samsung put blue jeans on their robots?

    patreon.com/answerforit

    Lots of big questions in this one, like, what the heck is boy kibble? And shouldn't James know? Plus, we investigate why and how the real star of Coraline, Mr Bobinsky, had his skin turn blue (fantastic AJ impression incoming!). Elyse makes the guys put their savvy social media skills to the test, challenging them to name the top five followed folks on Instagram (spoiler: it's not Grumpy Cat, or his clones). Finally, Zach's quest for knowledge brings this episode to its hilarious conclusion.
