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.”

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.
