#18: When the Patriarchy Gives You Tummy Raspberries, Make Lemonade 12.08.2025

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 cr...

#17: Legends of the Falls (Milkshakes & Faceplants) 05.08.2025

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 muc...

#16: 16 Times Mater Was ROBBED of the ‘Cars’ Piston Cup 29.07.2025

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, preservi...

#15: The Worst Question You Could Ask About the Alamo 22.07.2025

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 H...

#14: Tick, Tick, Tickle Me Elmo (feat. Teddy K and Big Bang) 15.07.2025

All-time top five bottom-selling boy band and your mom's favorite trivia podcast Answer For It returns for a reunion concert, dripping with nostalgia and steeping in medical grade urine. So get ready to rewind it like a race car and make it a Blockbuster night, as James, Zach, AJ, and Elyse play such memorable misses as: “Gurl, Let's Get Naked (because u have hypothermia)” “Ur Glasgow Kisses Got M...

#13: Pokémon or Pharmaceutical Drug? 08.07.2025

Q: I answer complex trivia questions once a week, yet my intelligence level remains the same…  … Who am I? A: The cast of Answer for It, of course!  Coming to you LIVE from the Bongiovi Funeral Home in Raritan, New Jersey, this comedic quartet of ticklish penguins can’t tell Snorlax from Snore-less, no matter how hard they try. And the gang’s all here: America Online’s most Funkabetical man, Zach...

#12: What Benjamin Franklin Puts up His Butt is His Business 01.07.2025

#11: Women with IBS - The REAL Superheroes? 24.06.2025

#10: Look How Far We've Come! 17.06.2025

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 passiv...

#9: All Aboard the "Bang Boat" (Zach didn't title this episode) 10.06.2025

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 Mince...

#8: Requiem for an Unshellfish Strong Man 03.06.2025

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, "he...

#7: The Answer For It 300th Episode Spectacular 27.05.2025

Who could forget such unforgettable moments as that one Christmas Tom Hanks that capped...

#6: My Barber Said I Have an Extreme Iron Deficiency (and Other Trivia) 20.05.2025

 In the sixth episode  of the AJ Is Very Tired podcast (formerly Answer For It), sleepy orphan AJ is very tired. That is, until local potato bogie James and flustered flay crake Zach invite him on a fizzy river boat ride to capture the "Creature of the Creek," none other mouth-agape soda skeptic Elyse. She’s full of riddles, secrets, and JFK assassination plots that’ll have you red in the face, cl...

#5: Four Nicole Kidmans in One $6000 Pantsuit 13.05.2025

We come to this place for trivia. We come to Answer for It episode five to laugh, to cry, to hear James assuredly espouse “the philosophy of lifeguard,” and then minutes later ask what body parts "cans" are. Because we all need to know that. All of us. That indescribable feeling we get when AJ, doing a spot-on impression of the creepy old man from Family Guy, riffs on the idea of Abraham Lincoln’s...

#4: The Tragic School Bus Inside the Newman Body 06.05.2025

In the fourth episode of every Gary's favorite trivia podcast, beloved teacher and Miss Frazzled, Elyse tries to keep the wheels on the bus from coming off, off, OFF while truant C-minus students AJ, James, and Zach spend the hour proving they should've paid attention in class by musing on such unknowable mysteries as "what is a yard?” "why is a pound?” and “ does two unrelated people having simil...

#2: Charlie and the Great Glass Escalator 22.04.2025

In the second episode of this first trivia podcast to ever get a PG-13 rating, Hard-Wonking candy woman Elyse steers the nightmare boat between pure imagination and pure nonsense to give unqualified Oompa-Loompas James, AJ, and Zach a golden ticket for a tour of German King Henry VI’s far more deadly, uh, chocolate factory. AJ learns which if not all of his most cherished hobbies are the least att...
