A Rolling Stone video pairs Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz for a lighthearted ’90s trivia game and a conversation about Caught Stealing. Hosted by Rolling Stone entertainment editor David Fear, the segment moves from buzzer-round questions about ’90s music and television to the actors’ playlists, New York memories and preparation for their roles as Hank and Yvonne.
What happens in the interview
Fear introduces a buzzer quiz in which correct and incorrect answers determine who takes a drink. The questions range across pop culture, including grunge bands, Friends, Space Jam, Sir Mix-a-Lot and the name on Beavis and Butt-Head’s shirt. It is a promotional conversation with a playful quiz format—not a comprehensive account of the decade or a formal music-history discussion.

The quiz conversation veers into Pearl Jam’s name. Asked about the phrase, Kravitz jokes, “It’s jizz, dude.” The interview also brings up the story that Eddie Vedder’s grandmother made a hallucinogenic preserve. Both belong to the segment’s banter; neither should be treated as a definitive explanation of the band’s name.
In a 2025 Rolling Stone Australia report, Andy Greene says the grandmother story was later called “total bullshit” by the band in a 2006 Rolling Stone interview. Greene recounts Jeff Ament’s recollection that he was already considering “Pearl,” and that “jam” was added after the band saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse play extended songs in February 1991. Ament described the memory with a qualification: “[Young] played, like, nine songs over three hours. Every song was like a fifteen-or twenty-minute jam. So that’s how ‘jam’ got added on to the name. Or at least that’s how I remember it.” Greene presents this as a recollection, not a settled origin story. Read Greene’s account of the competing stories.
