Answer: Simple Simon

Simple Simon, the afroed DJ with an over-sized studded belt, likes to yell things like, "Simple Simon comin' atcha!" and "Rock on, Ace!" on the radio. He also calls Trip a "complete moron" after Trip hangs up after winning the KISS tickets. He is played by Rob Smith.

6. What do the boys add to Father McNulty's pizza to make him go loopy?

8. What is the name of the diner in Detroit that Beth and her parents eat at?

Answer: Blump's Burgers

While dining there, Beth spots Jam being dragged into the cathedral and begs her parents to let her go find him. The image on the lady on the sign is Adam Rifkin's grandmother!

The sub-headline read, "Cyanide in the Kool-Aid". During the Jonestown mass suicide, they actually used Flavor Aid. The other choices are shown at some point in the opening credits.

12. In the confessional booth, Jam learns that Beth is moving. Where to?

Answer: Ann Arbor

13. Which iconic figure of the '70s do you NOT see in the opening credits?

14. In the car on the way to Detroit, Jam references a band that KISS opened for, who ended up opening for KISS one year later. Which band is it?

Answer: Blue Oyster Cult

15. What is the name of the girl in the stall next to the one the boys are hiding in?

Answer: Sharon Van Hoft

Lex mentions that he's had the hots for her since second grade right before she starts loudly breaking wind, causing the boys to stifle their laughter. The toilet breaks under their weight, subsequently spraying water and knocking down all the stalls, frightening Sharon to screams.
