Andy, Chris, Rob, and The Fish join Matt for an exciting round of our signature "Think or Drink" trivia. After we crack open our Oskar Blues Brewery Mutant IPAs, Rob unveils his superhero alter ego. As the game begins, we serve up a strong cocktail of superhero knowledge. We tackle questions about various characters, their superpowers, and the storylines they've been part of.

As the game progresses, we dive deeper into the multiverse of comic book knowledge. The laughter never stops as harder questions come into play about the masterminds behind iconic comic book films, their gripping plotlines, and the unforgettable cinematic moments they gifted us.

Which of the contestants will be heroically victorious? Who’s thinking and who’s drinking?

Intro and Introductions

Matt

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

Rob

We have liftoff. Welcome to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe.

Matt

Alright, everybody, welcome back to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe Today Andy: we're we interrupt this broadcast.

Rob

Someone our lovely host, we're not saying who Definitely shook all of our beers before we got in here. So instead of starting this off with his normal intro, I have the first trivia question for everyone.

Andy

Oh, who is responsible for the sticky floor? Is it A Rob B Welser? I'll just stop there. It's Welser.

Matt

Today we are going to do.

Rob

Think, think or drink.

Matt

Are you?

Think or Drink Rules

Andy

thinking or you drinking. Way too much effort went into that.

Rob

Well, you know that's the MO of Season 2. Let's make a thousand drops and hit them buttons as much as we can.

Matt

We're just going to see what happens. We're going to see what happens. Alright, today is Think or Drink the Matt, and Friends Drink the Universe Trivia. Today's trivia theme is superheroes.

Rob

I would just like to say real quick I do not have any peripheral vision in this. Makeshift beer can mask that I've made.

Chris

Sadly, my request from Season 1 of starting to videotape all of this did not happen. Otherwise listeners, you would be seeing Rob's fantastic superhero beer case mask that he made.

Andy

But fear not, fair listeners. We took pictures.

Matt

Oh, it will be on social media. It's Tough Man's Arch enemy douche face.

Rob

That's douche-fache to you, sir.

Matt

Okay, as always with Think or Drink, if you answer a question correctly, you do not lose any points and you get to pick somebody else to take a drink and they lose a point. If you answer your question incorrectly, you lose a point and you have to take a sip of your drink For those difficult questions. At any time, you can choose to make it a double. If you choose to make it a double, you select somebody else to help you answer the question. If you answer the question correctly, you can choose individually whether or not you would like to recoup a point or if you would like to make somebody else around the table drink and then pick a sip. If you answer the question incorrectly, you both lose a point and you both have to drink. We do have one fresh aspect of the game to introduce today. This is something that is new and we're calling it Put it On their Tap. Chris is going to explain how it works.

Think or Drink Begins

Chris

So in this game, we are going to give people the option to not have to answer a question and instead elect someone else to answer that question. The twist here is when that person answers the question. If they answer it correctly, they then get to give a drink to the person who punted it, but if they get it wrong, they are going to earn a point for that person who punted the question to them. So it's a little bit of a risk. Do you want to punt the question? Because if you definitely don't know it, you're punting the question. But it's a risk. Who do you choose to answer this question? Because if they get it right you're drinking, but if they get it wrong you get the point.

Matt

I like it, let's hope we all remember once we're sipping. Now that we're like five minutes in, let's go ahead and introduce who's at the table.

The Fish

Wait a minute once we're sipping. I'm already half through here, man.

Chris

Alright, that's okay.

Rob

Matt

Yeah, we're going to start with the guy that's joining us again from Connecticut. That guy, what's your name?

The Fish

Andy

I thought, it was Green Goblin I don't know if Green Goblin never let it.

Smallville, Marvel, and Comic Book Trivia

Matt

Just like I did with the last review we did. I had chat, gpt prompted questions and I verified and Dr Octopus did come back as an answer on Google when I chose like three different ways. So I believe it.

The Fish

Andy

Do you want to double up?

Rob

Andy

Jonathan, I'm going to double.

Rob

Yeah, you want to double.

Andy

I'm making a double with my man across the table here, Rob.

Andy

All right, I did enjoy Smallville.

Rob

Thank you.

Andy

I might have like this first two seasons on DVD. It's a good show.

The Fish

Yeah, no, that was a good show.

Chris

For those of you children just listening, a DVD preceded a blue ray and was of shittier quality which preceded Netflix, because I don't even think kids know what blue rays are.

Andy

Oh, I preceded the Netflix streaming.

Matt

My daughter is flat out, at seven years old, enraged by regular commercials on the TV, like it's the cutest little kid rage ever.

Andy

That's fair.

Matt

We were on vacation recently and she was in the hotel and one came on and she was like how do I get my show back? What's wrong with the television? How do I like?

Andy

How do I get to the next episode? I recently tried to skip the commercials while watching a Philly's game and then felt really dumb.

Rob

Well it happens, Happens to the best of us.

Matt

Chris, how many Marvel movies has John Favreau produced, directed or acted in?

Andy

Well, there you have it, boys. We got to the hard ones, okay.

Rob

That's a challenge. I mean it's a lot. That's a challenge Three five, eight or 10.

Matt

I'm going to go eight, a conservative eight. You're going to go eight. You do have other options on the table. You can put it on somebody else's tab if you'd like you can make it a double.

Chris

Oh, I'm going to put it on Andy's tab. Oh, you're putting it on.

Matt

Andy's tab. All right, all right, you got three, you got five, you got eight or 10. And that's movies that John Favreau Johnny Favreau's produced, directed or acted in.

Andy

It can't be three. He's acted in more than three.

The Fish

Yeah.

Andy

I don't want to help. I'm with you on the eight. I'm going with eight. It's actually 10.

Rob

It is 10. So, John Favreau, you got the three.

Matt

Iron Man's Yep. So he is the director and producer and director of Iron man and Iron man 2. He's the co-executive producer of the Avengers and Iron man 3. And then he's in all three Spider-Man, all three, yeah. And then he's in Infinity War and Endgame Correct and he was also in Daredevil, the 2003 version of Daredevil.

Rob

Oh, the Ben Affleck. Yes, he was Foggy Nelson in the original Daredevil. Correct no.

Matt

He was Foggy Nelson in the original. I've never seen that, so.

Chris

I don't feel bad about knowing that.

The Fish

Oh, don't worry about that. That was a terrible movie yeah.

Rob

Terrible movie. That was terrible that bad, so Andy got it wrong.

Chris

Compared to the TV show? Yes, oh, compared to the TV show, he loses the point.

Rob

So he loses the point. All right, a good punt or no? Do you regain a point?

Chris

I thought yes, I regain a point, so he doesn't lose anything.

Rob

You just regain a point, correct.

Chris

Correct.

The Fish

I finished my class, moving on to Number two, dude.

Chris

What's the next one?

The Fish

Wait, wait, wait. We need to figure out what the next one is Ransacking the universe.

Rob

Yes, let's ransack the universe. Now ask me a question, here we go.

Matt

Asking you a question yes, marvel Comics. What is the real name of the character known as the Moon Knight? John Paul Duchamp, jack Monroe, mark Spector or Eric Brooks?

Rob

So this is a multi-level question. The answer is Mark Spector. However, he has more than one personality. He also goes by three or four other names, but Mark Spector is the answer you're looking for Mark Spector.

Matt

yes, is the correct answer.

Rob

Thank you.

Andy

Underrated show. Chris, I'm going to make you drink, of course.

Rob

Okay, so at the end of this round he only has three different names. Yes, in the TV show, but in the comics he has like seven or eight personalities, yes, so comics, it's much more. At the end of this round. Chris in the lead with four points. The rest of us are all at three.

Chris

Would have never guessed it in my wildest dreams.

Rob

Well, you know, people are just coming after me and not coming after you. Here we go.

Matt

You ready fish?

The Fish

Yeah, yeah, go ahead. I got full beer now.

Matt

Which Marvel superhero made his first appearance in the comic book Tales of Suspense number 39 in 1963. Spider-man, iron man, captain America or Thor. Tales of Suspense 39, 1963. Options being Spider-Man, iron man, captain America or Thor.

Chris

You can punt to your question. Make it on some level or make it a double. Or make it a double. Bring someone down with you.

The Fish

Yeah, well, how many points do I have there, rob?

Rob

You have three, three points Three.

The Fish

Alright. Well, it was Iron man, thor, spider-man, iron man.

Rob

What were the four choices? Again, spider-man, iron man, captain America or Thor yes, captain America.

Matt

For excessive thinking. I'm drinking, but at the same time.

The Fish

I'm making a double with Chris there.

Chris

Poor choice. I'm not the one that we're going down together. My guess would be Thor, your guess would be Thor, but I mean fish. Do you want to go with Thor? Yes, sure, alright we're going with Thor. It's Iron man.

Andy

Oh, wow.

Rob

I would have thought Thor. I would have thought Thor because I thought that Thor was the only character on that whole list that was introduced outside of his own comic run.

Matt

So Iron Man's Marvel Comics premiere in Tales of Suspense, number 39, cover dated 63, was a collaboration among editor and story plotter Stanley, scripted Larry Lieber and artist Dan Heck. And the cover artist character designer by Jack Kirby in 1963 Lee. Heck had been toying with the idea of a businessman superhero.

Chris

Alright, fishy and I are drinking.

Rob

That's right, alright. Cheers On to a question for Mr Andy what you got.

Matt

Alright, andy, which superhero is? The master assassin known as the Merc with the mouth, cable, punisher, taskmaster or Deadpool?

Andy

That would be Deadpool yeah it is Deadpool, they vary.

Chris

We went from insanely difficult.

Andy

Yeah, just a nice off pitch.

Chris

Yes it's fine.

Andy

Let's give that one to Fish.

Chris

Fish on the brink now.

Rob

Down to one and Fish does not have a make. It make it a double to recoup any points.

Chris

No, just the no. I do not the punt which can get him a point back.

Matt

Yes, In the movie Chris Avengers Infinity War, which two characters are the first two to encounter Thanos, iron man and Spider-Man, thor and Loki, doctor Strange and Wong, or Hulk and Black Widow, thor and Loki. That is correct.

Chris

Is that accurate in the comics as well? I don't know, it's very different from the comics.

Rob

Even the motivation of Thanos is not even close to that. There's no lady death.

Andy

As much as I like to rail on, civil War is so much better with the comics. The Thanos saga is so much better in the movies.

Chris

In the movies it makes him so much cooler. I love the motivation. Obviously terrible, but yeah, what are the scores? Alright, we'll give it to Andy. Okay, we were all at three, except for Fish.

Matt

Okay bud. Rob? What planet does the soul stone reside on in the MCU Vormir Thank? You I hate you so much.

Rob

Yes, it is Chris. You can have a drink, damn it.

Chris

I would have at least had to hear the answers on that one, I would not have, and in a million years I would not have gotten that one Dude even with options.

Matt

I know you're nuts. I'm here to flex it's okay. You're doing really nicely. Douche Fosse for the win.

The Fish

Are you still wearing the mask? No, no, that came off early.

Rob

Okay, at the end of this round I have crawled into the lead with three points Chris and Andy at two and Fish with one. Here we go Right, it's the money round, fish.

Matt

Fish? Which character portrayed by Jeff Globlum rules the planet Sikar and Thor Ragnarok? Is it the Grand Master, the Collector, Korg or Hella?

The Fish

Well, it's not the Collector, it's not Hella.

Matt

So, grand Master, it is the Grand Master.

Chris

Yes.

Matt

Such a good character.

Chris

Bring me the stick. All right, fish, who you make a drink?

The Fish

All right, so Rob's in the lead.

Chris

Yes, he is.

The Fish

Not any longer.

Andy

Okay, hold him down. Fine, get down to our level.

Strange things about halfway...

Matt

Andy, who directed Black Panther? Was it? And I always butcher the guys. No, tyka Watiti. James Gunn, you said that correct. John Favreau, I wrote down a key. And or Ryan Coogler.

Andy

That would be Tyka.

Matt

No, it's not Ryan Coogler.

Andy

No, it's Tyka the second one.

Rob

No, Tyka directs the Thor movies, not Black Panther.

The Fish

Yeah, he did Ragnarok, I believe.

Rob

Yep and Love and Thunder. He did two Thor movies.

Chris

That's another one that I'm glad I didn't get.

Andy

He did one.

Rob

And he's the voice of Coog, love and Thunder. I didn't think it was that bad. I thought that they cut out way too much of the Christian Bale parts, which were very good. Christian Bale was great. He was fantastic.

Andy

But there's one scene in it where they obviously lost their budget. Do you know the scene I'm talking about? It looks like it's just shower curtains hung up in a warehouse. Like the rest of the movie, like absolutely gorgeous. And then you go in this one scene you're like what's with the shower curtains? Why did they stop?

Rob

at Walnut Weird. It's a little weird. It's okay, though, moving right along, Chris.

Matt

which Infinity Stone does Doctor Strange possess in the eye of Agamotto? The space stone, the time stone, the mind stone or the reality stone, the?

Chris

no.

The Fish

I'm not giving you a point.

Chris

It's the time, stone it is the time stone. All right, all right, just for that you can drink.

Andy

Come on man, Come on Brett, you did raise your hand.

Rob

I was letting you know I was here for you.

Matt

Condescending. You don't know this. Call on me, Hanraes. It's fine, I was just trying to be helpful, Rob. What is the name of the intergalactic pirate group led by Yondu Untonda in the Guardians of?

Rob

Chris

Oh my lord.

Rob

The game is afoot. You're all at one, I will say we're all at one. Chris and I both still have a. Make it a double. Yes, just throwing that out there. Wow, which we could have done on the last one.

Chris

Fish also has his punt.

Matt

Matt

The Fish

Do that. I'm gonna put it on someone else's tab.

Chris

Is it Doctor Strange?

The Fish

Is Doctor Strange. It's Doctor Strange.

Rob

Shoot Is Doctor Strange yeah.

Chris

Really.

Rob

And that earns him a point.

Matt

No, it earns him a point.

Assemble on your right, on your left, or we got your back. Oh my god. I know what are my favorite scenes in that movie Just magical. I'm gonna put it on Rob's tab, you're gonna put it on Rob's tab On your left it is.

Andy

That's what I thought, but I wasn't confident about it.

Matt

I wasn't confident it is a call back to when Captain America laps him like 19 times.

Rob

Yeah, so on, your left me answering it means I lose the point Now he's okay, andy's out. No he's not. I don't gain anything, you do not All right.

Matt

Rob

Yeah, ask me the question. I'm just gonna grab another mutant. You're gonna grab another mutant there you go.

Rob

Andy

Rob

Chris, I trust you to open me one and hope that it doesn't explode.

Chris

Rob

It's Baron Zemo. He's behind the whole plot because he's controlling Bucky Barnes. So if you tell me Bucky Barnes is the answer, the answer is Baron Zemo.

Rob

Christopher Nolan directed all three of the Christian Bale Batman trilogy, patty Jenkins directed Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984, and David Ayer directed the first Suicide Squad movie.
