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. Subscribe and leave us a review -- it helps!

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.Subscribe and leave us a review -- it helps!

Look How Far We've Come (Episode 10!)
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.Subscribe and leave us a review -- it helps!

All Aboard the "Bang Boat" (Zach didn't title this episode)
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!
