Christian. He growled with displeasure and span it so that it landed on Eddie.
"Oh good," Eddie muttered. "This should be fun." Christian picked up the iPod and shuffled it.
"What the hell, Lissa!" he exclaimed. "Brush up your Shakespeare by Lee Wilkoff and Michael Mulheren." She laughed and we stared at her quizzically. The music started and I gave Christian my You-are-so-dead look. I picked up a camera to film it and he groaned.

By the end of it, we were all in hysterics. I turned the camera off, pleased with my triumph.
"I'm never doing one of these again," Christian grumbled. He span the bottle and it landed on...
Himself.
"Looks like you are, Sparky!" I laughed. He growled and span it again. It landed on...
Haha, that one was for a laugh! It's even funnier when you know what it's referencing to.
