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?
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.
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:Why don't you start with that guy?
Matt:Yeah, we're going to start with the guy that's joining us again from Connecticut. That guy, what's your name?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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:Yes it's fine.
Andy:Let's give that one to Fish.
Chris:Fish on the brink now.

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.

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: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.
