Calling all lollipop ladies! Sample a taste of the Magnificent Mangalista, which in no way smells like Uranus. In this episode, Zach presents a compelling argument that Kindergarten Cop is better than Terminator 2 because his dream said so. Plus, AJ gets the most questions right (first time for everything), James catches Elyse on a Cate Blanchett technicality, and we ask an important question: Who is the rightful heir to the Piggy of the Podcast crown?

Elyse trades trivia for monkey puzzles in this week’s slang-heavy episode. Then, in two clutch moments, James’ encyclopedic knowledge of Dennis Rodman and Bond villain brain damage gives him the upper hand. Meanwhile, AJ (the Hans Moleman of the podcast) manages to Trojan Cat the show with a riveting new Dad Story (™). Forever the businessman, Zach (the other Hans Moleman of the podcast) makes a million dollar offer that – hopefully – Chili’s* can’t refuse.
*Chili’s Too also acceptable.

Apparently protecting elderly nephews from outdoor machinery is NOT one of Hawkeye’s exceptional skills.

August 12, 2025 #18: When the Patriarchy Gives You Tummy Raspberries, Make Lemonade
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.

August 05, 2025#17: Legends of the Falls (Milkshakes & Faceplants)
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.

July 29, 2025 #16: 16 Times Mater Was ROBBED of the ‘Cars’ Piston Cup
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.

July 22, 2025 #15: The Worst Question You Could Ask About the Alamo
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?
Hunker down like you're in a San Antonio fort in 1836, because this one goes off the rails faster than you can name all ten Canadian provinces.

Swing from building to building looking for ramps with ‘Tandem Spider-Man,’ aka AJ and Zach as they go back to the future to find out what happened to the real Marty McFly in 2010.

About Answer for It!

From the publisher's feed

Ever wonder why barber shops have that striped pole out front? What does it mean? Is it a warning? Perhaps a hypnotic device to lull you into spending too much on a haircut? We don’t know. But we will pretend to know, on ANSWER FOR IT! -- the podcast where trivia meets comedy, facts meet improv, and where fumbling the answer for laughs is both an art and a science.
