Rules And Quick Introductions

Matt 1:42

So we're going to do some think or drink trivia. The theme for today is wacky music trivia. So we're all over the place. It is related to musicians and artists, that sort of thing. But we have a lot of different topics and categories we're going to go through. Just a reminder on the rules. Think or drink is our classic trivia game where players start with six points. The last person with points remaining wins. Correct answers let you choose someone to lose a point and drink, while incorrect answers will cause you to lose a point and drink. For difficult questions, you have two options. First, you can make it a double to get help from someone else. If your collective answer is correct, you can choose individually to gain a point or to make somebody else drink and lose a point. If you're wrong, both of you lose a point and drink. Or you can put it on their tab by selecting someone to answer for you. If they're right, you lose a point and drink. If they're wrong, you gain a point. Make sure to balance potential risk and reward when you put it on their tab.

Rob 2:41

Woo!

Matt 2:42

Alright, in addition to those two, we're gonna add one more lifeline. Go on. It's gonna be called the ask for a B side or give me a B side where I can swap out your cloak question to something different. Alright, so we've got B side, we've got double.

Rob 2:58

We've got double. And we've got Put it on their tab. Tab. Alright. I'm I'm BDTing keeping score today.

Matt 3:08

So let's do a quick round of introductions. To my left, I have the man who once got me kicked out of an honors fraternity thanks to a cover song he chose to sing by one of our gigs.

Rob 3:18

Bitches ain't shit is a classic tune that some people just can't handle in certain settings.

Matt 3:24

Do we need to review why those people couldn't handle it?

Rob 3:27

Hi guys, it's Rob, in case you haven't picked that up yet. But uh I I'd also like to point out before you introduce everybody else that you have a C3PO head in that beer hat hat up there and that made me laugh.

Matt 3:37

Yes, I do.

Odd Jobs Before Fame Trivia

Rob 3:37

Has that always been in there? Friendly. Never noticed it? Friendly steer. Woo! Okay, that's pretty scary. You're observant. Yeah. Oh, hi guys, I'm Jordan. Yes, she is. Here I am. Be Rob's girlfriend. Wow. Gotta gotta put a label on it, don't you, man? Are we able to say girlfriend at this age? Or should it be partner? Should it be lady friend? Oh, yes, like man friend. Yes, okay. That's fine.

Jen 4:05

You could say life partner. That's what they say at my work. Life partner.

Rob 4:11

My partner in life. There we go. And you are?

Jen 4:15

And I am your life partner. Whoa.

Rob 4:17

Jen 4:19

Rob 4:19

He has one, folks.

Matt 4:20

I do. Your wife Jen is joining us. With her glass of water, she's joining us. We don't judge around here.

Rob 4:29

Don't hate. No, she walks strong.

Matt 4:31

I'll judge after the podcast, but not during. We're gonna go. This doesn't really matter because you can't see which way I'm gesticulating everybody that's listening. So testiculating? What? Yep. Oh, okay. Yep.

Rob 4:42

So you're going to me first.

Matt 4:43

You're going first.

Rob 4:44

Okay. That makes sense.

Matt 4:45

All right. Okay.

Rob 4:46

To the right.

Matt 4:47

The opening topic. The opening salvo. Odd jobs.

Rob 4:50

Odd jobs before failure. Are you talking about the small Asian man in the Bond film that used to throw his hat? Yeah! No. Okay. Slappers only. Go on.

Matt 4:59

Oh.

Rob 4:59

Here we go.

Matt 5:00

Remote Minds, man. Remote Minds. For those of you who have played Goldeneye. This iconic singer once worked as a truck driver before his career took off. Is it Johnny Cash? Elvis Presley? Roy Orbison or Jerry Lee Lewis? Okay.

Rob 5:18

Ooh, my guess, truck driver, like based on looks, I'd guessed Cash, but I think that I wouldn't know that because it would have been in that biopic they did with him a few years ago with Joaquin Phoenix. So Joaquin Phoenix? Phoenix. Well, anyway, my guess is Roy Orbison.

Matt 5:42

It is not Roy Orbison.

Rob 5:44

Oh, what Mama Don't Know Won't Hoyda.

Matt 5:46

It is Elvis Presley. No way.

Rob 5:48

Elvis Presley, a truck driver.

Matt 5:50

He drove trucks for Crown Electric in Memphis before launching his career at Sun Records. Wow. Shock?

Rob 5:57

Okay. So uh uh I got a big fat zilch on that one.

Matt 6:01

Yes, and just so everybody knows, we're just accumulating points. We're not doing the seven points and then out type thing that we've done in Think or Drink before. You get it right, you get a point.

Rob 6:08

Most points at the end wins. Yep. All right. George.

Matt 6:12

This famous front man once worked as a school janitor before making it big. Was it Dave Grohl, Tom York, Kurt Cobain, or Chris Cornell?

Rob 6:24

I already love this trivia. It's good. This is fun.

Jen 6:27

It's good. I think I know it.

Rob 6:31

You want to play like the grungier the better in the answer. Um a lot of grunge people on this though. They're all grungy. I know. Who has greasier hair? To slap up the sloppy gel. Um David Grohl.

Matt 6:50

You're very close. Correct band, wrong person. It was Kurt Cobain. Worked as a janitor at his old high school in Aberdeen, Washington. One point could win this whole trivia. Let me just tell you. Jen? This famous singer once lost her job at Dunkin' Donuts for squirting jelly filling at a customer.

Jen 7:10

That's hilarious. Is it fun?

Matt 7:13

Britney Spears, Haley Williams, Pink or Madonna?

Jen 7:18

Who's Haley Williams? I don't even know who that is.

Rob 7:21

Uh she is the front woman for Paramore.

Jen 7:23

Paramour. Yes. Oh. She's badass. I was gonna say that could maybe I don't know. I'm gonna go with pink.

Rob 7:31

As it is, it's gotta be a rebel.

Matt 7:33

It is not pink.

Rob 7:36

Don't you tell me.

Matt 7:37

It is Madonna.

Rob 7:38

Okay. That was my second time.

Jen 7:41

Yeah, I didn't think it would be her.

Matt 7:42

Fired her first day at Dunkin' Donuts in Times Square. That's funny.

Rob 7:48

I wonder if she didn't give her two chances. I wonder if she's a good one. So that's not what oops, I did it again is about. Not everyone pressed on the donut and was like, oops, no longer a virgin.

Matt 8:01

Well done. Well done.

Rob 8:03

That was good.

Matt 8:05

Rob. Yes. This British singer once worked as a chicken suit mascot for a fried chicken restaurant. Okay. Was it Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, or Elton John?

Rob 8:17

I hope with all of my being that it was Sir Elton John, aka Reginald Dwight.

Matt 8:25

The fun fact for this one is Elton John, then Reginald Dwight wore a chicken suit.

Rob 8:29

Ah!

Matt 8:30

Booyah!

Rob 8:32

Nice one. One point.

Matt 8:34

There you go.

Rob 8:34

One little point. Rob is in the lead with one. Yeah, you know, Chicken Man doesn't have the same ring. No, no.

Matt 8:43

Chicken man. Gonna be in the deep fryer a long, long time. Thank you. No problem. Jordan, this artist once lived and busked in a subway station before being discovered. Was it Atlantis Morissette? Atlantis Morissette, sorry.

Rob 8:58

Atlantis Morissette. She's underwater, folks. Close to Phoenix. Yeah. Phoenix. Yeah.

Matt 9:05

Phoenix. Okay, once lived in a subway. Atlantis Morissette. Jewel, Fiona Apple, or Patty Smith?

Rob 9:15

Oh, I'm gonna have to go with my girl Jewel.

Matt 9:18

That is correct.

Rob 9:19

Yeah.

Matt 9:20

That explains the teeth.

Rob 9:22

Who will say?

Matt 9:26

Jen, this rapper once worked as a telemarketer selling light bulbs.

Rob 9:31

Wow.

Matt 9:31

Was it Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Jay-Z, or Ice Cube?

Rob 9:36

Ugh, I wish any of them.

Jen 9:39

I'm gonna go with Ice Cube.

Matt 9:42

It was Marshall Mathers. Soldier. I didn't really picture him working.

Jen 9:47

So I was I thought he had they didn't have that in the movie. I'm just saying that's true. They did not write.

Matt 9:56

Rob. Yes. This famous singer worked as a firefighter before making it big. Was it John Bon Jovi? Bruce Springsteen? James Taylor, or Billy Joel.

Rob 10:07

Oh god. I should probably know the answer to this because I know all of those people, but I'm just gonna have to guess because it would be a very New York thing that it was Billy Joel.

Matt 10:22

Ooh. Incorrect. Incorrect. It's Bruce. It is not. Oh. I've seen fire and I've seen rain.

Rob 10:30

Oh, he's James Taylor.

Matt 10:32

That is James Taylor, yep. In North Carolina, he briefly worked as a firefighter. Oh. Who'd have known?

Rob 10:39

What a fact.

Matt 10:40

You know. Two more questions in this category. Next one going to Jordan. Before their rise to grunge fame, this singer worked as a security guard at a nightclub. Is it Scott Whaling, Chris Cornell, Lane Stanley, or Eddie Vedder? Lane Staley. Lane Staley, sorry. That's right. Yep.

Rob 10:59

No relation. Cornell.

Matt 11:06

Ooh. I'll give you a hint. Well hell, you had too much to drink, and I'm gonna have to ask you to leave now. There's Eddie Vedder.

Actors With Secret Music Histories

Rob 11:13

Oh. Shoot. Oh. Kiki out now. It's like I don't know if that helped me or not.

Jen 11:28

Yeah, they're gonna have to tell me where they're singing with because I don't know half these people's names.

Rob 11:34

Okay, I gotcha. And I'm not sure why I haven't used any of these yet when they're there in the city. Okay, they're there. Yeah. Are they there to help you?

Matt 11:41

Or are they just there? Jen. BDT. Before fame, this singer supported herself as a McDonald's drive-thru worker. Was it Gwen Stefani? Atlantis Morissette? Pink or Shania Twain? She's still Atlantis. Did I say it again?

Rob 11:59

Man. It's okay. How many of her albums do you own?

Matt 12:03

It is pink.

Jen 12:04

It had to be. I keep guessing her. It has to be her.

Rob 12:08

One of them's gotta be pink.

Jen 12:09

Yeah. Okay.

Matt 12:11

Rob. New topic. Yes. Calling this one acting up. For better or worse, these individuals switched careers. Okay. Go on. In college. This famous actor played in a jazz band called Leather Canary. Seeing no future in the band, he quit Leather Canary. Later changed their name to Steely Dan. Who was this actor? Was it Steve Martin? Michael Douglas? Dan Ackeroyd or Chevy Chase? It is Steve Martin. It was Chevy Chase. No way. It is Chevy Chase. Left the band before they rebranded as Steely Dan.

Rob 12:46

Well, so I didn't know Chevy Chase had any musical talent at all. That's awesome. Apparently. Other than sing joy to the world. That's all I knew of Chevy Chase's musical talent. Yep. But I know Steve Martin still plays in a band. So that was my context clues guess, which was not good. Steep Canyon Riders? Steep Canyon Rangers.

Matt 13:08

Rangers. You were sure? Rangers. Jordan, on that note.

Rob 13:12

Okay.

Matt 13:13

Before his acting career, this star was the lead singer of a band called The Kids That Once Opened for the Talking Heads. Is that Nicholas Cade? Wait, hold on.

Rob 13:23

Was that the full name of the band? The Kids That Once Opened for the Talking Heads? No. Or The Kids, The Kama. Okay. The way you read it, I was like. No. He did pause.

Jen 13:34

He did something weird with his eyes, and I was confused. Sorry.

Rob 13:38

I thought that that was a hilarious band name. The kids who once opened for the talking heads. Oh my god. But the kids who once opened for the talking heads.

Matt 13:46

Oh my gosh. Yes. Thank you for the dramatic pause. So was that person Nicholas Cage, Val Kilmer, Johnny Depp, or Keanu Reeves?

Rob 13:55

Okay. I'm gonna use one of these. Okay.

Matt 13:59

Which one do you want to use? Do you want a question swap? Do you want to pull somebody in with you, or do you want somebody else to answer in the hopes that they fail?

Rob 14:07

Someone else to answer. Okay. Answer with them. So no, she's putting it on somebody's tab.

Matt 14:15

Put it on their tab.

Rob 14:17

Thanks, Bish. Heck yeah. Whose tab are you putting it on? Mr. Matt's. Matt doesn't have a tab. He's running a tab. You can put it on my.

Matt 14:28

So you're hoping Rob messes it up so you can get a point. Rob did not mess it up. I know.

Jen 14:35

That's good. I was gonna say camera.

Matt 14:38

There you go.

Rob 14:39

Yeah, uh fun fact, and I hope that this doesn't ruin the way that works.

Matt 14:43

Jordan loses a point. You don't get one, she loses one.

Rob 14:45

Oh. Okay. Uh he just has one. I have one. Jordan is down to none. Well, I didn't lose much. Okay. That's you. Sorry. You lost 100% of your points in where I did zero. Yeah. I was gonna say fun fact Johnny Depp is in a band currently. And if you have any questions about that later, maybe I should stop myself. What? That's crazy. No, you don't? No. No. Okay. Uh Johnny Depp is in like a super group where he plays with a bunch of other famous musicians. I love this. And uh I think it's called like Hollywood Vampires or something like that. Ooh. Well, they did music fest. You might be might want to fact check me on the band name, but he definitely plays in a group group with like Joe Perry from Aerosmith. And I I think that's so random. Yeah. That is very random. Interesting. Has anyone seen Crybaby? One of Johnny Depp's oldest, maybe first movie.

Matt 15:41

No.

Rob 15:42

Can't say I have. Yeah.

Matt 15:44

But in the spirit of Johnny Depp, I'm gonna open my second megapint.

Rob 15:51

There we go.

Matt 15:52

And Jen, before making it big as an actor, this Jurassic Park star was a front man for a college rock band called The Gold Coast Trio. Was it Sam Neal, Richard Gere, William Hurt, or Jeff Goldblum? And Rob. Rob wants to partner up with you. That's what he's doing.

Jen 16:11

He does. I was just gonna make a random guess because I only have to use it. I only know one name from all of those.

Rob 16:19

I will tell you that two of those names were in Jurassic Park.

Jen 16:23

Yes. I'm gonna go with Jeff.

Matt 16:26

That is the correct answer.

Jen 16:28

Nice.

Rob 16:28

At a girl, Jen. There you go. He he still performs in a in a jazz trio today.

Jen 16:34

Or I don't know if it's a trio, but Well, he was sing he sings in Wicked, so I was like, hmm.

Rob 16:40

Yep. He said it's also Hollywood Vampires, Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry. Wow. Those are the three big names. Alice Cooper. Alice Cooper.

Strange Performances And Guitar Legends

Matt 16:53

Right. Rob? We are going for performances and music history facts. Okay. In 1994, this musician followed a performance with his band by playing an acoustic set at Blockbuster Video. Who was it? Was it Dave Matthews? Billy Joel Armstrong? Axl Rolls or Eddie Vetter? What year? 94.

Rob 17:17

94. I'm gonna guess Billy Joe Armstrong Green Day.

Matt 17:27

The ants are not marching in your direction. Dave Matthews, Dave Matthews.

Rob 17:31

Dave, Davey Boy.

Matt 17:33

Shortly after the release of Under the Table and Dreaming. He walked into a Blockbuster and played an acoustic set.

Rob 17:39

Interesting because I love him so much. So 94, I I thought Dave came a little later in the 90s, and that's why I went Green Day because I was like, they definitely were early 90s. Like Dookie probably came out in 93.

Matt 17:54

I think so. 93, 94, somewhere in there.

Rob 17:57

I was gonna say, I think Ansko Marching was also around 93.

Matt 18:01

Yep. Jordan.

Rob 18:03

Yes.

Matt 18:03

This legendary guitarist once auditioned for the monkeys, but was rejected. Was it uh Pete Townsend, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, or Jimi Hendrix? Auditioned for the monkeys and was saying, hey, hey, hey, you're not the monkeys.

Rob 18:21

Hmm. May I team up with Rob? Oi! Balky! Making it double! This was in the Led Zeppelin film film. I know, I'm thinking Jimmy Page. It's Jimmy Page. Yes, okay.

Matt 18:38

It's not Jimmy Page. Wait, what? It's Jimi Hendrix.

Rob 18:42

Oh, that was the Yardbirds. It was the Yardbird. And he didn't audition for the Yardbirds. He was in the Yardbirds. Oh, I'm an idiot.

Matt 18:49

So technically you both lose a point for that.

Rob 18:52

That's absolutely terrible. I'm in the negatives. What happens then?

Matt 18:56

Oh. Yeah. I don't know if on this show we've ever had anybody crash and make it a double before. That might be the first make it a double crash out.

Rob 19:03

Woo-hoo!

Jen 19:04

Can points go into the negatives here?

Matt 19:07

They can. It's never happened before. But that could be Matt and Friends first. All right. Well, I'm I'm down to zero points.

Jen 19:14

How the hell am I in the lead just by dumb luck?

Rob 19:17

Jen winning with two points.

Jen 19:19

It's not gonna stay there, trust me.

Rob 19:20

Have you used any of her lifelines? I don't think so. No, she hasn't. So okay.

Weird Habits, Phobias and Quirks

Matt 19:24

All right. Oh my god. Jen. This iconic guitarist could not read sheet music. Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, or Eric Clapton. Can't read sheet music. Is it Santana, Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, or Eric Clapton?

Jen 19:47

I'm gonna go with A.

Matt 19:48

You're going with Santana? It's not Carlos Santana. It's Van Halen, it's not Van Halen. It's Jimi Hendrix again. Oh my god. Double Hendricks? It's a double Hendrix.

Rob 19:59

You never expect it. Nobody expects a double Hendrix.

Matt 20:02

Has he played a left-handed guitar?

Rob 20:05

Upside down. I believe that he couldn't afford a left-handed guitar. So fun fact, left-handed guitars are not very common. Right. And so therefore they were custom built and very very expensive to get for people who didn't have a lot of money. So Hendrix would buy right-handed guitars and then play them upside down and restring them to play like a lefty.

Matt 20:26

Yep. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. If you watch his videos, you can see it. The pegs are the wrong way. It's cool.

Rob 20:32

That is cool.

Matt 20:33

Rob. I hope I get this right. We are on to weird habits, phobias, and quirks.

Rob 20:39

Yes. Okay.

Jen 20:40

Do any of them do any whoop?

Matt 20:42

Not that I know of, but good, good the middle reference. I loved it.

Rob 20:48

The middle.

Matt 20:49

This pop star has synesthesia and literally sees music in colors. Is it which I think, by the way, I've said this on the show before, I have a psych degree. I think synesthesia is one of the most interesting things because John from Poppins Travel, what a segue here. If you need somebody to do some travel planning for you, reach out and call Poppin's Travel. John will be happy to help you.

Rob 21:11

If you if you hear color, please call John from Poppin's Travel. If you taste sound, Poppins will get you on the ground. Like, I don't know what we're doing here.

Matt 21:23

That was such a weird so here's the end of the transition. John John was a music teacher for a very long time. He had a student that had synesthesia and could literally tell you whether or not people were in tune based on what color they were seeing in their head, which I think is insanely cool. Interesting.

Rob 21:38

That is very cool.

Matt 21:39

Anyway, your options for this one are Lady Gaga, Lord, Britney Spears, or Billy Eilish. The answer is blue.

Rob 21:47

I don't even remember what the question was.

Matt 21:49

The answer is Billy Eilish. That is correct. Yes, it is. There you go. She associates sounds and names with colors.

Rob 22:00

Very well. I'm out of the zeros and into the ones. Jordan, look out, here I come.

Matt 22:07

This female stinger is Stinger? I can't talk.

Jen 22:10

What's wrong with that?

Matt 22:11

Joaquin Penix.

Jen 22:12

Is your arm is your arm? Is your arm going numb? Yeah. Do we need to call 911?

Matt 22:18

I know. Do I smell burning? No. This female singer, extremely popular in the 90s, lives the single life in a castle with 12 cats and wasn't publicly photographed between 2017 and 2025.

Rob 22:31

Meow.

Matt 22:31

Is it Sinead O'Connor? Enya, vitamin C, or Natalie Embrulia?

Rob 22:37

90s, you said, right?

Matt 22:38

I said 90s.

Rob 22:43

I'm gonna go with Natalie Embrugia.

Matt 22:46

Ooh.

Rob 22:47

Wrong.

Matt 22:47

Is it the answer sailed away on you?

Rob 22:49

Is it Sinead O'Connor? Say away, sell away, sail away.

Matt 22:55

That is the second time we've sung pure moods. It's the second time we've referenced pure moods. Sorry.

Rob 23:03

We have people that listen to that.

Matt 23:05

For the younger ones in the audience, that's what you heard if you fell asleep in the 90s and woke up at midnight. That's what was on TV. Wow.

Rob 23:13

And someone demo.

Matt 23:16

I lost where I was in the questions. Hold on. We're making a comeback. I remember those infomercials. We love that. That's fine. Jen. Which famous musician is deaf in one ear?

Jen 23:30

I know the blind person finally. I did. Wait, hold on. Hold on go. Wait, wait, wait. Funny story. Funny story, real quick. There was this poster in music class, and um, God bless Shay. I looked at it and I was like, I don't it was a picture of Stevie Wonder, and it was like, I wouldn't drink and drive, and I said I didn't get it. And she's like, he's fucking blind, you idiot. Oh, it's my favorite Shay story. But anyway, so at least I know he's blind. Okay, go. Who's famous musician Deaf in one ear?

Matt 24:08

Elton John, Phil Collins, Brian Johnson, or Eric Clapton.

Jen 24:16

It's between two. What what lifelines do I got? You got all of them. What's what's one that benefits me if somebody gets it right?

Rob 24:26

If somebody else gets it right, they'd be making it a double.

Jen 24:29

Make it a double.

Rob 24:31

Oi! Balky, make it a double!

Matt 24:35

Who are you making it a double with?

Jen 24:37

Rob.

Matt 24:37

Okay. He knows everything. I don't I don't know if I know this. Are we gonna crash him back?

Jen 24:42

You're better than me because I Deaf in one ear.

Matt 24:44

Deaf in one ear.

Jen 24:45

I was going with either.

Matt 24:46

And the options are Elton John, Phil Collins, Brian Johnson, or Eric Clapton.

Jen 24:52

I thought it was Eric Clapton or Phil Collins. Why do I feel like it's more that Phil guy? But I'm not sure now.

Rob 25:02

I thought it was Elton John.

Jen 25:04

Yeah, I don't know. But I feel like they would talk about that more because he's so uh popular.

Matt 25:10

They must reach a consensus. Okay.

Jen 25:13

I don't know. I don't care what you pick.

Rob 25:15

Oh, I'm picking. Okay. I don't think it's Clapton. Brian, you said Brian Wilson? Uh Brian Johnson. Brian Johnson.

Jen 25:23

I don't even know who that is.

Rob 25:24

Oh, that's the guy from AC DC. BJ. I mean, based on the way he sings, I wouldn't be surprised if he went deaf in one ear. But oh god.

Matt 25:35

Uh Phil Collins. He can feel it coming into the air tonight, but he can't hear it. You are correct.

Rob 25:42

Yes.

Jen 25:43

So I thought it was, but I wasn't sure.

Matt 25:45

One for Rob, one for Jen.

Jen 25:47

Silly, Phil, Phil, going. So silly.

Rob 25:51

All right.

Matt 25:51

I feel like Jen should have gotten this question because if you want to know a little bit about Jen, she's a massive germaphobe. Rob, this singer has a phobia of dirty spoons. What an odd. Okay, go on. Is it Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Sean Mendez, or Zayn Malik?

Rob 26:10

Oh God. Uh I would like to put this on someone else's tab. Okay.

Jen 26:15

Are we allowed to at least at who's Zayn Malik?

Rob 26:18

I have no idea. Zane Malik. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Okay. Zayn Malik and Harry Styles were both part of uh One Direction.

Matt 26:28

Whose tab are you putting this on?

Rob 26:29

Uh because it it will not hurt anybody, I will put it on Jen's tab.

Jen 26:37

Okay. I'm gonna go with Ed.

Matt 26:42

It is Ed Sheeran.

Rob 26:44

Yes!

Matt 26:45

Okay. So So what does that mean? I just lost you a point.

Jen 26:49

Do I get a point?

Matt 26:50

You do not get a point. You cost him a point. He was banking, you'd get it wrong.

Rob 26:54

Going down, Rob! He looks so aggravated right now. Are you okay?

Matt 27:01

He gets a little competitive. So this is Jordan's question. This singer once said her guilty pleasure is eating raw onions like apples. Billy Eilish, Britney Spears, John Bon Jovi, or Ed Sheeran.

Rob 27:21

Can you repeat the question one more time?

Matt 27:22

Sure. The singer once said their guilty pleasure is eating raw apples. Raw onions like apples. I realize what I did.

As Many IQ Points as Hits

Rob 27:32

I realize completely what I did. Did you just give somebody a 50% advantage on this question? There you go. Go ahead. You gotta 50-50 shot.

Matt 27:41

Billy Eilish, Britney Spears, John Bon Jovi, or Miss Ed Sheeran.

Rob 27:46

Oh gosh. I'm still gonna get it wrong. Brittany Spears. I got it wrong.

Matt 27:54

Yep. Billy. Yep.

Rob 27:56

Raw Ice.

Matt 27:57

And to round out this particular topic. This is this pop star once said their favorite snack is ketchup on ice cubes. Jen, is it Shakira? Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, or Hillary Duff?

Jen 28:13

It's between two because I'm gonna go with Celine.

Matt 28:19

It is Selena Gomez. That is correct.

Rob 28:22

Nice.

Matt 28:23

Jen is throwing darts in the dark and she keeps popping balloons right now.

Rob 28:27

I wish I had that luck.

Matt 28:29

Alright. Rob, we're changing topics here. Okay.

Rob 28:34

Tell me something good.

Matt 28:36

This topic, three questions in this one. The topic is as many IQ points as hits. First question. This pop star has a 160 IQ and is a member of Mensa. Is it Lindsay Lohan? Christina Aguilera, Taylor Swift, or Shakira? Shakira. It is Shakira. You are correct. It's something that I know. Neither hips nor test scores lie. That's right. Jordan, this pop star graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in English literature before their music career. I realized I did not pronounce English correctly. English. John Legend, Alicia Keys, Ursher, or Chris Martin.

Rob 29:27

I my gut tells me Alicia Keys, but I feel like my gut is not helping at all tonight. My my baby boy, John Legend.

Matt 29:39

It is John Legend, that is correct. Yes, it is.

Rob 29:42

Out of the negatives! Yay! I've made it back to baseline.

Matt 29:47

Back to Zellow.

Rob 29:48

Just like my clients.

Matt 29:50

Zello. Jen, this artist studied archaeology at King's College in London before switching to music. Remember, you have the option to switch questions if you want. That's exciting. So archaeology before music, is it Ellie Golding, Dua Lipa, Florence Welch, or Adele?

Jen 30:06

I don't know three of those people. So you want to switch a question?

Alcohol and Party Stories

Rob 30:11

Name each person, and I'm gonna tell her who they are. Who's the first person? Ellie Golding. Who's Ellie Golding is uh not a clue. Is Ellie Golding um Rob Schneider's daughter? No. Okay. And then Duo Lipa is um here one babe. I want your babe, babe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. It's helpful. Florence Florence Welch is from Florence and Machine.

Jen 30:40

Okay. What do I have? I have a chance to go with a different question. Yeah. She's like, stop it.

Rob 30:49

Shoot, she would like to scroll.

Jen 30:50

Do I lose points if I do questions? No.

Rob 30:52

Or you can put it on somebody's tab.

Jen 30:55

Uh you know what? I'm not gonna do that. I'm just gonna guess Adele because I feel like it.

Matt 31:03

I was so She's her own woman. I was so scrolling down, thinking you were gonna change already. It's not Adele. Okay. It's Florence. It's Florence.

Rob 31:11

I would have thought. Yeah. I don't know. And and and to be fair, a wrong answer does nothing bad for you. That's good. What do I have left?

Jen 31:20

What is it?

Rob 31:21

You can either put it on someone else's tab or ask for a new question.

Jen 31:25

A new question. And then one, but you only get that once, right? New question. Okay. All right. We're good.

Matt 31:31

All right. Okay. Let's do alcohol and party stories.

Rob 31:38

Oh boy. Rob. Ozzy needed 1,000 brown MMs, or he would not go on.

Matt 31:46

Goes. This singer once admitted to drinking 24 Heineken before noon while recording in the studio. Wow. Wade Boggs. Liam Gallagher from Oasis. Eddie Vetter, Pearl Jam, Anthony Keatis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, or Jim Morrison from The Doors. Were you doing that for me? Yeah. I don't know. You're listing the bands for me?

Rob 32:15

I would have liked to have that. Yeah, that's that's good because I have no idea.

Matt 32:19

There might be thousands of people listening. You don't know. You're saying Heinekens. Heineken's 24 Heinekins before noon while recording in the studio.

Rob 32:27

I I would say it's Liam Gallagher because the Brits love their Heinese. It is Liam Gallagher, that is correct. You rat bastards. You know why I know that? Because I once worked with the British producer and he would buy Heineken and Rolling Rock all the time, and I never understood it.

Matt 32:43

I I don't know how you drink 24 beers and then record anything.

Rob 32:49

It's impressive. High functioning alcoholic.

Matt 32:53

Yes. All right, Jordan. This singer's pre-show ritual drink is tequila with cayenne pepper and lemon, which she swears keeps her voice strong. That is good for the voice.

Rob 33:06

Okay.

Matt 33:07

I'll take your word for it. Is it Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, or Mary J. Blige?

Rob 33:15

Christina had a drinking problem that she did share about. I thought that was Jessica's sense. Both?

Jen 33:21

I didn't know.

Matt 33:22

Was there a genie in the bottle? Chicken of the sea.

Rob 33:24

Yeah. Or a genie in a bottle.

Matt 33:28

Jordan looks perplexed. I believe she has one lifeline left.

Rob 33:32

You can switch your question out if you don't want this one. No, I'm just gonna keep going for it. Cutthroat. Okay. Christina Aguilera.

Matt 33:41

It is not. It is Beyoncé. Oh. Bayotes. Yeah. I wouldn't have guessed that one.

Rob 33:47

No, no, no. Uh-huh.

Matt 33:49

Jen. This rocker once had an assistant follow him around with a cooler of beer on wheels so he'd never go thirsty. Can you please tell me where they're from? Where they're from?

Jen 33:59

What bands are they part of? Because I don't I don't know names. I just know bands.

Matt 34:04

Well, there's only two I'm gonna have to help you out here with. Kid Rock. Fred Durst. Kid Rock is from Kid Rock is from Kid Brother.

Jen 34:12

But I mean, both of them sound like they would do that. Okay, keep going.

Matt 34:15

Fred Durst is from the band that inspired your uh inspired your AOL Instagram handle of Bizkit Girl.

Jen 34:21

I love Fred Durst. He got old though. He's not looking Uncle Freddy. Does he look better?

Matt 34:28

I was saying, okay, I don't think Sammy Hagar Van Halen.

Rob 34:31

Van Halen the second singer of Van Halen. Second singer, to be fair. Scott. From Creed. Oh, you know who that is. Yes.

Jen 34:42

Yeah, but I mean he like found Jesus. So I don't know. Was he an alcoholic before that? And then he found it? I don't know. Yes, actually.

Rob 34:50

Um with beers wide open.

Featuring Who?

Jen 34:53

Okay, what say that who is the first right now?

Matt 34:58

He had an assistant falling around with cooler beer on this stage.

Rob 35:02

I'll drink them in you way with beers wide open.

Jen 35:07

I can't. I can't. I'm so sorry. Okay. Who were the first choices before?

Matt 35:12

Kid Rock, Fred Durst, Sammy Hagar, or Scott Stein. I'm gonna go with Kid Rock. You're gonna go with Kid Rock. Kid Rock is the right answer.

Rob 35:23

Woo!

Jen 35:24

Jen puts another one up on the board. He just looks like an alcoholic, so you know, for sure.

Rob 35:31

As of right now, Jen in the lead with five. Okay. I am in second place with three points, and Jordan is at a flat zero. Jordan, up for the participation trophy so far. It's okay. It's okay. We can't all be winners. It is totally okay. I'm fine. So this is not good with random knowledge.

Matt 35:51

We are now featuring who? I'm so sorry. What a jerk. What female singer is featured in the song Airplanes by B.O.B. Rob? Haley Williams. I don't even need multiple choice.

Rob 36:05

Thank you very much.

Matt 36:06

Yeah.

Rob 36:07

Yep. What a jerk. What what were your three wrong answers, just for the audience? Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, Rihanna.

Matt 36:14

Nope.

Rob 36:14

Huzzah!

Matt 36:15

Jordan. I knew one thing. I'm still here. Who actually played the famous guitar solo on Michael Jackson's Beat It? Oh.

Rob 36:24

Oh, if if only you had a team up. I know this without multiple choice. For me.

Jen 36:31

Were we alive?

Matt 36:32

Yeah.

Jen 36:32

Really? Ish. Okay.

Matt 36:34

We were born that year.

Jen 36:36

Jesus. Okay.

Matt 36:37

So who played the famous guitar solo on Michael Jackson's Beat It? Was it Eric Clapton slash Stevie Vai or Eddie Van Halen? Ooh, Steve Vai.

Rob 36:46

There's a name you haven't heard in a while. Oh my gosh. Let's go with Van Halen.

Matt 36:55

It is Eddie Van Halen. Woo! Jordan's on the board. He's on the board.

Rob 37:00

Guess his work, people.

Matt 37:01

Recorded it as a favor to producer Quincy Jones, and he's uncredited on the album suite at first. He eventually got credit, but uh he was not paid for it, from what I understand.

Rob 37:11

Fun fact, no, he did it as a favor. Funner fact that there was a woman who was like a one-hit wonder years ago that had like a like a crazy guitar solo type song out. Why can I not remember what it was? But she was the touring guitarist for Michael Jackson. Ah. And then she woman. Yeah, there was a woman that used to play the that solo when he was on tour, and then she became a one-hit wonder maybe about 10-15 years ago. Oh. Someone with an S. She wasn't in the uh mention in the show though when we saw MJ. No, no, no, no, no. No, no. This no, she like toured with him later, like way, way, way later, like late 90s, early 2000s.

Matt 37:56

This one might blow Rob's mind a little bit here, but this one's for Jen.

Jen 37:59

Okay.

Matt 38:00

Who secretly sang the background vocals on Don Henley's Boys of Summer?

Jen 38:05

I I don't know the song.

Matt 38:06

Don Henley is from the Eagles.

Rob 38:07

From the Eagles.

Jen 38:08

What can you say?

Rob 38:09

Like Hotel California.

Jen 38:10

That's a song. Sing the boys of Summer. No, no, no.

Rob 38:12

He's talking about Boys of Summer.

Jen 38:13

Okay, what's After the Boys of Summer Have Gone.

Matt 38:18

Okay. Got it. So who sang, secretly sang the backing vocals? Was it Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Brian Adams, or Bob Seeger?

Rob 38:28

Hmm. I'm very intrigued to know the answer to this. I do not know.

Jen 38:32

This is fun. Who's Bob Seeger?

Rob 38:36

Uh singer.

Jen 38:37

Turn the page.

Matt 38:39

Your father-in-law loves Bob Seeger, so I just I heard a thud from Florida right there.

Jen 38:44

I'm gonna go with him.

Matt 38:45

I'm gonna go on with Bob Seeger. Sure. You have lifelines.

Jen 38:48

That's fine.

Matt 38:49

Okay.

Jen 38:49

Is it wrong?

Matt 38:50

Yeah. It's Tom Petty.

Rob 38:53

Oh, I love you, Tommy. People come, people go. People sing on Eagle songs.

Matt 39:00

Rob. Wow, wow. Yeah. Who actually played lead guitar on Atlantis Morissett's You Ought to Know? She's still Atlantis.

Rob 39:07

She's in Atlantis.

Jen 39:09

Atlantis.

Rob 39:10

Her name is Alanis.

Jen 39:12

Alanis.

Rob 39:13

You're saying a T.

Jen 39:15

Atlantis. You're saying Atlantis.

Rob 39:17

Atlanta. Okay. Alt. The place underwater or in the Bahamas.

Jen 39:21

Ooh, we can go down the slide and see the sharks. True.

Matt 39:25

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Wow. Okay. Who played lead guitar on that person's You Ought to Know? Is it Dave Navarro, Tom Morello, John Frashante, or Flea?

Rob 39:40

Well, there's two chili peppers in this question, which means that it's one of them. Because that's how AI works.

Matt 39:47

Are you sure? Or is it a fake out?

Rob 39:48

I don't think it's a fake out. I'm going to say John Frashante. It is not. Is it Flea? It is not. I guess Dave Navarro.

Matt 39:57

It is Dave Navarro. Wow. Can I get that question?

Rob 40:00

Can I have that question?

Matt 40:02

Rob is drinking, not thinking, and we are drinking some garage beers here. Yes, it's garage beer lime.

Rob 40:07

Garage beer lime.

Matt 40:08

Delightful.

Rob 40:09

It's pretty refreshing. Even though it's wintertime here and it's very cold the moment when we're recording this. I'm transported to a beach when having this a little bit. And Jordan has a red called the Freak Show.

Matt 40:21

How is it?

Rob 40:22

It is delicious. Very smooth. I am not a sweet wine drinker. And uh it's you know, it's very smooth, very balanced. I love it. Balanced. I'm having some H2O. My mama says H2O. High quality. How is that about Glacier? It was blessed by left and medicine, man. It's from a glacia. From a brita. So where is garage beer from? Because I have not seen that before. The garage. Yeah, I've been there.

Matt 40:51

This is the uh Kelsey brothers beer, Travis and uh Jason Kelsey's.

Rob 40:55

Where are they brewing it out of though? I don't know.

Matt 40:57

That's a good question.

Rob 40:59

Grand Rapids, Michigan is where it was bottled.

Matt 41:02

Yeah. I don't know if that's where it's brewed, but produced before Jock Beer, Garage Beer, Grand Rapids, Michigan, so must be refreshing.

Rob 41:15

And only 95 calories for the ladies out there.

Matt 41:19

Next question. Second to last, going to Jordan. Who played guitar on Lady Gaga's Born This Way? David Gilmour? Brian May? Slash, or The Edge?

Rob 41:31

I don't really know any of these people. Okay. David Gilmour is from Pink Floyd. Yep. Okay. Slash is from Guns N' Roses. Yeah. Who else did you say? Brian May. Brian May's Queen. And The Edge. The Edge is you two.

Matt 41:47

Yep.

Rob 41:50

Slash.

Matt 41:51

You can change your question too. You're right, I can. You can do that.

Jen 41:55

Is that what you have left? Yes, what you changed the question.

Rob 41:59

Okay, can we have the answer to that one though? You want it? It's Brian May. Brian. Okay. Wrong again. Okay. Jordan, you're getting another question. You're changing a question. Here we go.

Jen 42:07

So what does that mean? You're out in lifeline slunt now? Oh yeah.

Rob 42:10

Well, she is, but I think this is the last go-around anyway.

Matt 42:14

So this country superstar was known to bring homemade moonshine on his tour bus to share with crew and fans. Was it Garth Brooks, George Strait, Toby Keith, or Willie Nelson?

Rob 42:26

I mean, all of them are big drinkers. Yeah. Willie's more of a smoker, toker, but. Midnight. Smoker. Toker? Yeah. A joker? Midnight toker. He plays his music in the sun. Alright, I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try to rule him out because he's more of a toker. Okay. My TK lover is R.A.P. Um, maybe let's go with Toby Keith.

Matt 42:51

You ruled out the correct answer right off the bat. It was Willie Nelson. Willie.

Rob 42:55

Oh god, Willie. Silly Willie. Silly Willie's making moonshine? He is. I hope he called it Silly Willie's Moonshine. Silly Willie's Moonshine and Token. If I had a lifeline where I could have called my uncle, I could have won that.

Matt 43:09

Jen, and the last question for you. Who played lead guitar on the Beatles while My Guitar Gently Weeps? Ooh, I love that song. Was it George Harrison? Paul McCartney? John Lennon or Eric Clapton? Is this a trick question? Might be a trick question.

Rob 43:26

I never know.

Jen 43:27

You say it again.

Matt 43:28

Sure. Who played lead guitar on the Beatles? My guitar gently weeps.

Jen 43:32

Well, I only know two of those people.

Matt 43:34

George Harrison, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, or Eric Clapton. Three of them are in the Beatles. Three of them are the Beatles, yes.

Jen 43:42

Well, two, I know two of them. I'm gonna go with the person not in the Beatles.

Matt 43:49

Jen is correct.

Jen 43:50

I knew that is insane.

Matt 43:52

Eric Clapton stepped in at Harrison's request to play the iconic solo, one of the few outsiders to ever play on a Beatles track.

Rob 43:59

And one of the most iconic songs. Yeah. Great song. That was written by George Harrison, too. I just assumed that he played his own. Rob's brain is melting down the side of his hoodie right now. And with that, with that, Jen, the win. It's a rigged Jen with a six-point finish. I had four.

Jen 44:23

I'm just going off vibes and Jordan has one.

Matt 44:28

So we're gonna go ahead. We'll give our stellar sip of the episode to the freak show. Very good, Cav said. Oh, I thought we were gonna give it to the water for our winner. The stellar sip.

Jen 44:40

The Alaskan glacier. I'll chug it.

Matt 44:43

So this is for Jen's water, apparently. And her win.

Jen 44:47

Yay!

Rob 44:50

I thought you were giving the I thought you were calling your wife the freak show. You were like, this one's going to the freak show. And I was like, oh, Gen 1. That's an interesting name.

Jen 45:00

Listeners tired show. For our longtime listeners, the tired show makes sense. The sleep show.

Rob 45:08

I snore, so what we do in bed is sleep, schnell.

Matt 45:16

So for anybody who's been a longtime listener, just so you know, Jen and I are now tied for wins at one. Stop. That's very exciting.

Rob 45:26

Three years of lesson wins.

Jen 45:28

I thought I was going down. I just picked what I thought was right.

Rob 45:33

You picked well.

Jen 45:35

I've always did things like that. They would never let me do um football. What was it?

Rob 45:41

Betting? The football pool?

Jen 45:43

Yes, because I no, so when I was little, we didn't before fantasy football, you would keep it in a book like that, and I would just pick the colors of the teams that I liked, and I would always win the money, and then I wasn't allowed to play anymore with my family.

Rob 45:57

The the like loser pool or whatever.

Jen 45:59

Yeah, we would we would pick so we would pick like who you thought was gonna win the game, and sometimes I wouldn't even pick. I'm like, oh just give me like all the people playing at home, or I like their colors. I'm gonna pick them, and I would always win the money at the end, and uh my brother would get so mad.

Matt 46:14

Well, thank you all very much for listening. Thank you all for joining me today.

Rob 46:18

Thanks for bringing me in. Yeah, thanks for all the cool questions.

Matt 46:21

I wish I got more right, but I didn't.

Rob 46:23

And I hope that my squirrel brain actually takes in some of that information so I can help in another trivia. There you go. Whee! Cheers, friends.

Matt 46:31

Cheers.
