Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Lights, Camera, No Action!

I decide to take my girlfriend to the movies for a nice romantic evening. However, my choice of movie leaves a little to be desired “Earth Girls Are Easy” (You can see where the romance might have come into play….right?) After the flick, she storms out of the theatre. What movie should I have chosen?

A: St. Elmos Fire

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Willy Wronga & The Chocolate Factory

Chocolates are always a good idea and the bigger the box, the better! But, as the day wore on, my stomach was growling louder & louder. “What could one piece hurt? I can just shuffle the rest around and she’ll never know!” Well, one lead to another and another. Well, she got an almost completely empty box of chocolates. What should I have done?

A: Always keep a bag of Hershey’s Kisses on hand in the truck to refill the box.
B: Get the “Buy One, Get One” special after Valentines Day.
C: Or simply…Never sample the Sampler!!!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Boom Box Bust Out...

Not being completely confident in my singing abilities, but still wanting to serenade my girl outside her bedroom window….I grabbed my Boom Box and proceeded to blast Sister Christian by Night Ranger! After the cops were called for disturbing the peace, I realized that maybe I should’ve picked a different song. Should I have picked….

A: I Hate Myself For Loving You by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
B: Anything by George Strait…He’ll help you everytime.
C: Centerfold by J. Geils Band

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Epic Flower Fail!

When picking up my first love for our very first date, I thought it would be a GREAT IDEA to bring Dried Flowers instead of live ones. I thought it would be easier for her to cherish them by pressing them in a book. Didn’t go over too well. What should have I done?
A: Collected live flowers from the neighbors flower bed.
B: Collected the flowers that fell on the field after the homecoming celebration.
C: Just called 1-800-FLOWERS.

Of course the answer is C. Congratulations Allan Dolan from Kingston! You won The Wolf Prize Pack! 2 tickets to Million Dollar Quartet and a $50 Gift Card from 1-800-FLOWERS. Now you’re in the running for the Grand Prize…a $200.00 Gift Certificate to Ship Lantern Inn!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Literature...Oh boy...

for my Lit class, I had to read an Edgar Allen Poe story and write a report on it. Easy enough. So, I read the story on my trusty Ipod and thought it was a great idea to begin the report with the opening line of the book So, I wrote “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” I got an F!! Why!?!?!

a. It was one of Poe’s earlier lesser-known pieces and wasn’t accepted for the assignment

b. Maybe I should have used “Cliff notes” and not “Murray’s Guide to great Lit papers” , because the story I read wasn’t written by Edgar Allen Poe , but rather Charles Dickens “A Tale of Two Cities”

c. Because my spelling and punctuation were almost non-existent

Congratulations to Kelley from Otisville for knowing that the correct answer was "B". Thank you all for participating this week! Good luck to all the finalists! One lucky person is now going to win a $100.00 Staples gift card! Stay tuned to see who it is!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: History

History..specifically Auto history, because really is there any other kind of history??? I saw an on-line ad for a ’57 Chevy, talked to the guy who said it needed abit of work, I made an appointment to see it. With check in hand, I rush over to see it. But when I got trhere, the check went right back into my pocket. I knew right away it WAS NOT a '57 Chevy. What was wrong with it?

a. It had huge tail fins
b. It had 3 speed shift on the column, otherwise known as 3 on a tree
c. It had 4 headlights

The correct answer is "C". The 1957 Chevy had only 2 headlights. Congratulations to Hope in Pleasant Valley for knowing the correct answer! There's just one more round of Jack Doesn't Know Jack tomorrow at 6:50. Then be sure to listen at 7:50 to see who won the Grand Prize, a $100 gift card to Staples!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Chemistry and The Clogged Drain!

I Had a clogged drain...I remembered back to my high school chemistry class to use 2 common household ingredients to create a drain opener instead of spending money on the name brands. Well, as I was getting ready to pour my volatile concoction down the drain, my wife came in yelling….”STOP!!! Please don’t blow up the house”

Here’s my choices, what should I have used?
a. Bleach & peroxide
b. Lemon juice and table salt
c. Vinegar & baking soda

The correct answer is "C" Vinegar & Baking Soda! Congratulations to Sally in Rhinebeck for knowing the correct answer! We'll play again tomorrow at 6:50!

Jack Doesn't know Jack: The Math Problem.

Okay, as most of you might know, I had a flood in my kitchen and had to order new flooring for my 215 Sq. Ft. kitchen. Basically, when the boxes of flooring kept coming in, I realized that I had way too much flooring. What did I do? Did I mistakenly...

A - Order the flooring in square feet?
B - Order the flooring in square inches?
C - Order the flooring in square yards?

The correct answer is...I ordered it in "C" Square Yards. Oops!
Congratulations to Lisa from Kingston for knowing the answer! Oh well, anybody need flooring? LOL! Tune in tomorrow at 6:50 for another edition of Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Back To School!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Back To School Edition! Subject: Foreign Language

While station in Germany in the Army, I was starving one day and asked a local..."Wo ist der Bahnhoff?" Now, I got a weird look from the guy because I was rubbing my belly as I asked this question. What did I actually ask him?

A - Where is the cold beer?
B- Where is the mens room?
C- Where is the train station?

The correct answer is "C". No wonder he looked at me strange. He must have thought "This guy is here to protect us? From what? He likes to eat trains!" :) Congratulations to Marie in Fishkill for knowing the correct answer! There's more to come tomorrow at 6:50!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack - "The Grand Prize"!

Congratulations to Tim Waltke of Kingston! Tim is the Grand Prize winner of the BBQ Boot Camp at the Culinary Institute of America!

Thank You to all of our listeners for playing another edition of "Jack Doesn't Know Jack"!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack - "This Is Corny"

Problem 5: Your corn fails to amaze when you offer your guests newly spray buttered corn! Instead a blackened cylinder that looks more like evidence in an arson than corn on the cob.

A: Take out the silk and the outermost layers of the corn husk, but leave that last layer on before you set it on the grill.

B: Coat the corn with butter prior to putting it on the grill.

C: Par-boil corn before placing it on the grill.

Jack Doesn't Know Jack - "Is This Too Rare?"

Problem: You open your grill up expecting the delicious scent of sizzling food to waft up, only to find cold meat.

A: Should have pre-cooked the food in the oven first and then put it on the grill.

B: Make sure coals are well on their way before you move onto the next stage (they should be covered in grey ash). Make sure the grill is hot before you cook anything on it.

C: Say ‘oh well’ and cook thoroughly with a blow torch.

Jack Doesn't Know Jack - "Flame Broiled"

Problem 3: Your grate catches fire or the fire suddenly becomes huge and engulfs your food.

a: Adding ground clove to the meat will help naturally extinguish the flames.

B: Keep a portable fan next to the grill to keep the temperature down.

c: Trim meats of excess fats. Don't put too much oil on vegetables or breads. If the flames pop up, don't spray water on the fire -- simply move the food to a cooler portion of the grill.

Jack Doesn't Know Jack - "Don't Be Fuelish With Your Grilling"

Problem 2: You and your guests bite into your meals. Taste buds all ready for the taste of a nice juicy steak! Instead, all of you only to get the intense flavor of lighter fluid. What should I have done?

A: Try to find a flavored lighter fluid.

B: Stick to a charcoal product that isn't saturated with lighter fluid and isn't billed as easy-to-light--use a chimney starter instead. Never spray lighter fluid onto an open flame or hot charcoal.

C: Sprinkle the meat with baking soda. This will absorb the lighter fluid taste.

Congratulations to Lisa From Rock Hill, NY for knowing todays correct answer! Tune in tomorrow at 6:50 for the next Jack Doesn't Know Jack: The Kitchen question of the day!

You are determined to succeed in the kitchen, you decide to make a souffle...it looks easy enough in the cookbooks..so you mix and you stir and you mix and you stir and you mix...well you get the idea. When the timer goes off and you remove the souffle from the oven, it's flatter than a pancake...what should you have done differently to keep this from happenning....

A. Added more Yeast
B. Instead of stirring by hand you should have used the paint mixer from Home Depot
C. Gently folded in the egg whites
