About this listen

 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. Featuring an all-star “who the hell is that?” cast, ANSWER FOR IT! comes from James and Elyse Willems (Funhaus), AJ LoCascio (X-Men ‘97), and Zach Anner (Speechless) -- four friends ready to tackle silly, unusual, and obscure trivia questions. Like, when in history were Kit-Kat wrappers blue? How do astronauts handle their dirty laundry? And what the heck is a ‘tattie boodie?’ Prepare to listen and leave feeling at least 12% smarter.

    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.
