Starting point is 00:00:00 Give a little time for the child within you Don't be afraid to be young and free Undo the locks and throw away the keys And take off your shoes and socks and run you Good Evening Kings Place, please now welcome to the stage Jordan, Jessie, go! Hi, everybody. Gosh, thank you so much for being here. We know you have a lot of entertainment options.
Starting point is 00:00:40 You could be seeing the Abba holograms, but you're here. All of London talks about is the ABBA holograms. Dublin, all they could talk about was those fucking ABBA holograms. Apparently, they're tremendous. I've seen a billboard featuring the ABBA holograms, and they seem to be wearing the suits the Avengers put on when they need to time travel. Yeah, I mean, I think...
Starting point is 00:01:03 Does ABBA fight Thanos at any point in the show? I think they merged ABBA and the Avengers. Yeah, sure. It's all part of the MCU. I think that's correct. I'm having a good time. Yeah. How are you enjoying London, Jesse?
Starting point is 00:01:16 I'm having a great time. I'm having a hard time telling what's a wall and what's a toilet. That's something I wasn't prepared for when I came. So you've just been pissing wherevs. Yeah. Well, I've just been, there's this thing where the handle of the toilet is just part of the wall
Starting point is 00:01:32 instead of there being a toilet there. Have you seen this? No. I've seen this multiple times in my three days. To be clear, I am not having a problem going to the bathroom. This is not relatable content so far. Do you in the audience know what I'm talking about, right?
Starting point is 00:01:48 Where there's a, yeah, I'm getting some yeses. So there would be a wall, and the seat of the toilet comes out of the wall, and the handle of the toilet comes out of the wall. But where's the toilet that powers the bottom of the toilet? In the wall. But then what happens when the toilet breaks? I still don't know what you're talking about. It's not a big deal.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Should we just do a bit? Yeah, no, I think so. We actually, before we start officially, we do have some announcements, just some kind of housekeeping stuff. Should we keep the... No, yeah, get rid of this guy. It's America announcements.
Starting point is 00:02:25 America announcements. Listen, so listen, just to clarify what's about to happen, we obviously came here on airplanes from America and some of the bosses of America, Joe Biden. Right. Usually when we say America at a live show, it gets a pop, but...
Starting point is 00:02:42 Joe Biden, the commissioner of baseball the rock they this isn't our announcements this is announcements they wanted us to share with you since we were coming anyway yeah so uh yeah just uh some america announcements about what's going on and uh what what what you can expect yeah uh hey england Congratulations on leaving the European Union. You can join the United States, but you have to get us sea dues. We just bought a bunch of beer and we want to get out to the lake. Um, we're looking for more places to build Arby's roast beef restaurants. Please let us know what Shropshire is and if they have horseradish sauce there yet.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Uh, we're sorry that your queen died. But you should have picked a less weird king. The sport you call football is for wusses. The guys should wear more pads. Like a thousand different pads until they look like crazy pad robots. More pads would make them tougher. Uh, we're just not clear on this.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Is Ricky Gervais an atheist? We could have sworn he was Gaga for Christ. Our nations can't seem to agree on what to call elevators. You say lifts. Why don't we go a different direction and call them upsy-doodles? It would avoid a lot of conflict because they probably already call them that in Australia. Also, we're calling lorries deetle-deetle drivers. Again, we're just guessing, but that's what we think they call them in Australia. Uh, listen, after decades of fruitless effort, we will no
Starting point is 00:04:17 longer be doing annoying stuff to make those palace guard guys laugh. Instead, we'll just show them Ted Lasso and we'll settle for a warm nod and maybe one guy saying, wow, that's charming. James Bond is American now and he drives a Ford F-150 and puts ranch dressing on everything. And we're changing his catchphrase
Starting point is 00:04:38 from Bond, James Bond, to fuck me, fuck you. This is just a quick FYI. In America, liking Paddington Bear is just a quick FYI. In America, liking Paddington Bear is now a whole ass personality. His worst fears have come true. The woke police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Rowan Atkinson.
Starting point is 00:04:56 International law now requires affirmative consent before you shove your head into a roast turkey stuffing hole and run around all crazy. But the International Criminal Court has issued a clarifying ruling. Doing that is still super funny. Please keep Madonna. It's time to drop the charade.
Starting point is 00:05:18 We got a dossier from the CIA, and we're on to you. You've been fucking with us for 20 years. You don't like love actually either. And finally, cheeseburgers are money now and we're super rich. Okay, announcements. Those are the announcements, folks.
Starting point is 00:05:38 That's the announcements from America. Hey, I want to talk more about our trip to London so far, but why don't we welcome a real expert? Oh, she's a celebrated comedy writer and one of our favorite friends on Jordan, Jesse Goh, a native of this very great Britain.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Please welcome to the stage Sarah Morgan. Hi, Carol. How's your trip to England? Magical. Are you your trip to England? Magical. Are you confused by the toilets? I'm not. I think that's a door. Did you know?
Starting point is 00:06:13 So one time, sorry, one more toilet. Sure, yeah. Okay. That's what people are here for. They're here for shit content. One time on Judge John Hodgman, the topic of toilet plungers came up. You know what I'm saying when I say toilet plungers. To of toilet plungers came up. You know what I'm saying when I say toilet plungers. Okay. Toilet plungers came up. And we were talking about whether to have a toilet plunger
Starting point is 00:06:31 in a guest bathroom. And the agreement was you got to have one in there because otherwise the guest might have to come ask for one. And someone from England said, I don't even have one of those at my house. Or maybe someone would have one of those at my house. Or maybe someone would have one of those in their garage or something. And we were like, you've got to be fucking mental. What happens when the poop clogs the toilet? Now, get a load of this. I did some research.
Starting point is 00:07:01 And it turns out their toilets don't clog from poops practically ever. Because they have different water levels in them. Oh. But more poop gets on the inside of their toilets. Again, because of the different water levels. So we as Americans
Starting point is 00:07:11 have traded cleaner looking toilet bowls for having to have a plunger. Huh. That's such a metaphor. I love it.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I don't know what it is a metaphor for, but it's definitely a metaphor. I've had the food here. Yeah. I would imagine your sh it is a metaphor for, but it's definitely a metaphor. I've had the food here. I would imagine your shits would be hard to deal with. I've been
Starting point is 00:07:31 eating here for a couple of days and had some lovely meals, but had a few mushy peas movements. I do have a food-related question. I wanted to get Sarah's take on it and maybe some audience members as well. I've got a lovely Italian deli by my hotel. Popped in for a quick breakfast.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Got a, ordered an egg and sausage on a baguette. And the workers. Just as they do in Italy. Yes. I love their, it was Italian baguettes. Ah, so crisp, flaky. The person taking my order, I would describe as a cranky grandma. So I order this sandwich, and she just looks at me and goes, sauce!
Starting point is 00:08:16 I panic. I say, what kind do you have? She says, sauce! I panic more. I just say no thank you. What was the sauce? What was... Can I...
Starting point is 00:08:33 Before Sarah interjects... What did I miss out on? What kind of word would you say sauce is? Oh, boy. Well, we haven't done this running bit in a while. It's a cum word. Sarah. They remember. It's a come word. They remember.
Starting point is 00:08:49 They've got to get a son, I guess. What is the sauce that she was yelling about? Do you know? Yeah, what was your guess? She might have been just saying you were being cheeky. Oh, like I was serving the sauce. She did not seem to like me. So I'll poke a hole in that. Yeah, I would say, so egg and sausage?
Starting point is 00:09:05 Egg and sausage. Yeah, so brown sauce sauce okay so brown brown i should have known it's always brown with you people i had a breakfast in dublin that was in a grocery store and it was a hot bar and the person behind the hot bars command of english was weak and i so was not able to convey subtleties of the food ordering process or the foods available. And it just said I could pick four things and they would put them into a sandwich. So I picked one bacon, one sausage and two eggs. And then she said, which sauce would you like? And there were lots of sauces and I picked brown sauce. Did I do it right? Classic, yeah. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Was it Daddy's or HP? Actually, this was Dublin. They may have their own. It was this giant squeeze jug. It's like a whole different country. I haven't seen Daddy's. I've been keeping my eye out for Daddy's. It's best not to see Daddy's sauce. No, I want to.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Daddy, show me the sauce. Is that a good new catchphrase? Should I start saying that on every episode? It's Daddy's or HP. Daddy's or HP. The House is a Parliament sauce. Okay. It's the two.
Starting point is 00:10:20 They're the Coke and the Pepsi of brown sauces. Which House of Parliament is better for sauce? Lords or Commons? Which is the one that Christopher Guest is in? Oh, I think he's a Lord. Yeah, that one. Yeah. The Nigel Tufnel one, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Also had a lovely visit to the British Museum. I don't want to bring down the mood of our comedy show. I don't want to bring down the mood of our comedy show. I mean, you know, how did all the stuff get there? Let's not get into it. But also agreements, Jordan. Agreements. Agreements.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Between co-equal parties. We're bad too. A lot of baby coffins. A lot of baby coffins from around the world, throughout history. We all need a place to put a baby once in a while. And it was fun to compare and contrast. In Greece, they're shaped like little bathtubs. They were shaped like little bathtubs, the baby coffins.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Now they're like hexagonal. Sure. So yeah, that was a real hoot. Yeah. Did you see the Elgin marbles? Oh no, maybe I missed the marbles. You probably didn't, but they're huge. The marbles, what does that mean?
Starting point is 00:11:45 Because I always imagined, I'm not going to lie, marbles. Genuinely, until I was about 40, I thought that. But no, they're the huge fucking great marble things in the British Museum that are under contention at the moment and should be returned to Greece. Also, speaking of Greece, I saw a wonderful figurine. This is a figure from Greek history. I believe his name was Apex.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Getting stabbed in battle. Full erection on this little guy. Now, I imagine in ancient Greece, they probably just walked around with erections. But if I know anything about the ancient Greeks. It made me think is. I'm no classics major. Is getting stabbed on the battlefield the ultimate kink? I mean, if you get stabbed on the battlefield, as long as you don't lose too much blood,
Starting point is 00:12:37 you get a boner, right? Because when you die, you get a boner. You become tumescent. Wow. So this little figure I saw was medically accurate? Yeah. Wow. Amazing, those Greeks.
Starting point is 00:12:48 That's why I'd love to die. All right, we'll be hanging out after the show. Sarah, I'm glad. I'll be taking selfies. Jesse will be accepting your murders. Sarah, I'm glad that you brought up the Houses of Parliament, because I actually have a Parliament that you brought up the houses of parliament because i actually have a parliament related quiz for the two of you um man did i have a great time on
Starting point is 00:13:12 wikipedia preparing this um this quiz is called the right honorable sir dingle foot um uh or the tragic death of sir ding Dingle Macintosh Foote, who was a real member of Parliament. It also has several alternate names. What happened is I gave it this name, and then I realized I should have asked comedian Guy Branham for names because he's obsessed with parliamentary democracy. And so he gave me Palace at Deadminster,
Starting point is 00:13:43 MPDOA, the right honorable corpse, and private members kill, which he says is a pun on private members bill, and then backbiting in hell now. Let us know what we say is funny. We're unclear. So
Starting point is 00:13:59 Sir Dinglefoot served 27 years in Parliament representing Ipswich and Dundee. He practiced law in 13 countries. He was a member of the British delegation at the San Francisco Conference in 1947, and he hosted the BBC current affairs program in the news. Then in 1978, he died tragically in a Hong Kong hotel room, having choked on a sandwich. So in memory of this loyal public servant, we're going to play a quiz. I will be offering you tales of the tragic accidental deaths of members of parliament.
Starting point is 00:14:32 One is real, two are lies. Your job is to ferret out the truth. Are you ready? Yes. Sarah, I'm going to have you go first. Here are your choices. First, let's see how it works. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Admiral Wedgwood Hedlum stood for Reading in Berkshire from 1923 to 1931. He died tragically in 1938, having been asphyxiated after catching his necktie in the flywheel of a mechanical water pump. necktie in the flywheel of a mechanical water pump. Sir William Cate, third baronet, represented Warwick from 1722 to 1735. Then in 1741, he died tragically, burning to death in a house fire he lit himself while temporarily insane. Sir Ian Francis Cheatham sat for Leighton East
Starting point is 00:15:29 from 1865 to 1871. He died tragically after entering and losing a prize fight against a real live ocelot. Now, one of these is real. Sarah, which one of these is a real way
Starting point is 00:15:45 that a member of parliament died accidentally? Okay. Cheatham sounds a bit Dickensian, like a made-up Dickensian name. Do we have ocelots in this country? I mean, you could bring them in for prize fights. Oh, true. I'm not sure if they could get licensed.
Starting point is 00:16:01 We could find an ocelot and put it in the British Museum. The Marquess of Queensbury might have something to say about it. I will go for burnt to death on purpose. You are absolutely correct. Sir William Cate burned himself to death while temporarily insane. So that's going to be one point for Sarah. One. Okay, Jordan, are one point for Sarah. One. Okay, Jordan, are you ready for yours?
Starting point is 00:16:27 Yes. Okay, here are your choices. Fresh veal mordant represented Malmesbury from 1694 until 1697. These are just real things. I didn't make up like the places are real places.

In that year, he died tragically after contracting sepsis in a wound caused by his having punched a bronze statue of a political rival. Captain Louis Fenton represented Huddersfield from 1882 until 1883 when he died tragically, falling from a window after standing on a chair to get a better view of his turnip patch. view of his turnip patch.

Starting point is 00:17:46 net. When you're describing all these people, I'm just picturing chimney sweeps. It's basically chimney sweeps with white powdered wigs, I think. I think, boy, I think that the bronze statue thing is a little too specific to be made up. I'm going to say bronze statue. You're incorrect. It's the guy who fell out of his window while trying to get a better view of his turnips. Holy shit. There's a whole Wikipedia article for this.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Okay. This is back to you, Sarah. Okay. This is back to you, Sarah. Winston Walter Whitbread was elected member of parliament for Bedford in 1859 and served until 1881. In 1884, he died tragically consumed by flame after hiding a lit cigarette in his velvet robe in an attempt to avoid the disapproval of his wife. robe in an attempt to avoid the disapproval of his wife.

Starting point is 00:19:37 They really are. Which of those is real, Sarah? I don't think men hid cigarettes from their wives then. Really proud about it. Wounded Buffalo. I'm going to go for Sugar Plums because that's just a nice image. Incorrect. The Wounded Buffalo killed him near

Starting point is 00:20:50 Thomas Moresby, who then cut his throat with a dagger and dragged his body to a nearby meadow. I'm having trouble with where these end. Well, they end in tragic deaths. Ah, yes. Okay, that's, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Of beloved public servants. Galfredus Walpole was MP for Sudbury from 1720 to 1725. He died tragically in 1726. Having put something in his butt, he shouldn't. We've all been there. I'm going to guess. It's the only way I can get an erection. Getting stabbed on the battlefield or the other thing.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I'm going to go with another kind of clue. I think you struggled a little bit with that first name, which leads me to believe that you didn't make it up. So I'm going to go with another kind of clue. I think you struggled a little bit with that first name, which leads me to believe that you didn't make it up. So I'm going to say A. Incorrect. He struggles with all the names and the words. The hired assassin Black Will of Calais who murdered Thomas Ardern
Starting point is 00:21:58 with the help of the tailor Thomas Moresby. They got caught because they left a trail of blood between where they murdered him and the meadow where they left his body. A classic mistake. Classic mistake. Okay. Just for the viewers,
Starting point is 00:22:12 he's got a huge erection in this picture. Yeah. For the folks listening at home, we have nasty slides. And everyone's getting too horny. What's going on? Okay, Sarah, this one's back to you. There's only two left here, okay?

Starting point is 00:23:28 Incorrect. It was Sir Luke Thompson who was consumed by a winch. Can you imagine? He was too old to get out of the winch and the winch ate and destroyed him. All these people were like on opium all
Starting point is 00:23:44 the time, right? Like they just kind of don't know what's happening. They're just falling out of windows. I mean, this is the 30s. His name is not silly enough. That's true. Jordan, this is the final question and it's worth however many points it takes for
Starting point is 00:24:00 you to beat Sarah. What? Oh my God. How excited are all y'all? Oh! You could win one of these bumper stickers you don beat Sarah. What? Oh my God. How excited are all y'all? Oh. You could win one of these bumper stickers you don't want. Oh. Yeah, I don't listen to the show. What a rogan guy. Okay, here are your choices. Sir Wilfrid.

Starting point is 00:25:10 And finally, Fergus Wedgwood Ben, first Viscount Stansgate. Viscount. Sorry, it's killing me. It's Viscount. Hey, don't count. Don't count, Splane, do us. Thank you. Thank you. You're guests in our country. Sarah, as you can see,
Starting point is 00:25:29 as you can see right here, it's spelled V-I-S-C-O-U-N-T and I'm sick of your bullshit and I'm demoting you to lieutenant. Okay. Fergus Wedgwood Ben, first Viscount Stansgate. It's a nonsense phrase anyway.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, whatever, you know? Second Dildon of Tarble. Oh, I have a castle. Fucking Lord of the Rings-ass country. What's your problem? I have a castle. Fucking Lord of the Rings-ass country. What's your problem? I have a castle. God gave it to me. Work here.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Okay. Fergus Wedgwood Benn, first Viscount of Stansgate, sat for Willesden East from 1892 until 1904. In 1914, he died tragically, having fallen rear first onto a heavily lubricated harpoon gun. It's another one where something went in his butt and killed him. Who lubed up the harpoon gun? It's been inside a whale.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Those are pretty lubey animals. That's a good point. Okay. Is anybody in the crowd like an expert in this stuff? You're a podcast audience. A lot of lamps went dark so that that harpoon could go up that guy's ass. Does anybody here think they have a guess? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:07 Are you just saying that because you think it's the funniest name? Which is a fine reason. He's saying that the funniest name is Dank Swaddy and that's too funny.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Oh, you're saying it can't be A? So you think it's B? Yeah, that's a little unbelievable. Okay, no. Jordan, now think about it carefully, because I know you're a Manchester United supporter. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:31 We don't know what these mean, okay? We're sorry if we say the wrong thing. Do not headbutt me in a pub. Just tell this guy you love Spurs. Say up the Spurs and he'll be okay. I love Spurs. He just gave me the no, no, no finger. He really did, like, a not even a jest.
Starting point is 00:27:50 That was terrifying. I'm going to get Nick Hornby on the phone and have him host the show. That would be great. Yeah, it'd be much better than us. Then I'll listen. Yeah, okay, I'm with you, sir. I think that's great logic.
Starting point is 00:28:02 I'm going B for the win, baby. Yes, that's right. Two different members of Parliament died in accidental turnip deaths. Yes. Oh, my God. Congratulations, Jordan. You know, I'm going to hand this to you, friend. Come see me after the show.

He has asked me not to describe him as a magician. Although he is aware that that might lead me to describe him as a juggler.

Starting point is 00:32:21 of fun answering their little questionnaire. They get a bead on what kind of clothes you like and what size and shape your body is. And they can either just send you stuff. They can send you a box and it's really easy to send back what you don't want. Or they can make a little store from you to pick stuff yourself, depending on what kind of shopper you like to be. The thing that I like most about Stitch Fix is how actually it is easy it is to return the stuff that you don't want. They put the envelope in there with the, you know, UPS or FedEx or whatever it is labels on the envelope. All you do is just shove them back into the envelope and give them to the FedEx. It is easy peasy lemon squeezy. You can even have them pick them up from your house. And like I said, they find out what size and shape your body is too. So no matter what size you are, from extra small to triple extra large, you'll find something that fits you great.

Starting point is 00:35:21 I'll give it to you after. Come find me after the show. I'll give you this one. Matt, you're a man of many talents and many interests. What do you think about toilets? I'm a keen amateur. You have one particular interest that I was fascinated to learn. We were having a chat at MaxFunCon a couple years ago,
Starting point is 00:35:47 and you launched into a monologue about a fascinating subject. I never wanted you to stop talking. Amazing that a man who dresses up in a suit and does these amazing feats could be interested in this next topic. So I wanted to prepare a quiz for you on this topic, which you are so passionate about. It's a quiz that concerns this man. Oh, shit. Steven Seagal. Steven Seagal, everyone.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Now, it would be hard to convince anyone that didn't live through the 90s that this man was a movie star. Steven Seagal doesn't look like a man who should be on a movie poster. He looks like a guy who sells incense and wolf t-shirts out of the back of a pickup truck. He looks like a guy your childless aunt brought to Christmas. She met him at AA and he can't stop letting you know, you know, Jesus was born in the springtime. Christmas used to be a pagan holiday.
Starting point is 00:36:42 He looks like a constipation grunt that became a real boy, and then that real boy grew up to have an Oxycontin addiction and make his own nunchucks. So we're gonna play a Steven Seagal quiz that we're calling Thunder Siege. Thunder Siege, everybody. We're gonna have some fun.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Now, Matt, just before we start, how did you get into Steven Seagal, and what leads you to be fascinated with this lesser action stuff? How dare you? Wow. I am a martial artist. I've been studying martial arts since I was a teenager. And I was a young, I don't know if you've met any young white guys who do martial arts.
Starting point is 00:37:28 But they're knobs. So when I was a young white guy that did martial arts, I probably was at least a degree of a knob. So, you know, I watched all the martial arts films. I watched Steven Seagal films. The first four Steven Seagal films are good. I will defend that. What martial art watch Steven Seagal films. The first four Steven Seagal films are good. I will defend that. What martial art does Steven Seagal do? Steven Seagal, or to give him his correct name, Take Sensei.
Starting point is 00:37:54 I believe he's pronounced Viscount. he's an akidoka he is famous for being the first westerner to ever teach aikido in Japan that is of course a lie like everything Steven Seagal has ever said now I have to say I have a little advantage in this quiz the other day I went to my massage therapist
Starting point is 00:38:23 and we were talking about show business as you do in Los Angeles, California. We're from Hollywood. And she says, oh, well my dad's a film editor. I said, oh, interesting. And she goes, he edited almost all of Steven Seagal's movies.
Starting point is 00:38:41 So my massage therapist has hung out in Steven Seagal's house for long periods of time while doing her homework while he circled her. Only later she realized it was because she was sitting in his favorite chair. He was trying to use his magic powers to get her out of the chair. Jesse, I was going to give you an advantage in this quiz. It sounds like you already have one. Do you still want this? I know that.
Starting point is 00:39:08 I know that. And then I know that her dad, who still is friendly with Steven Seagal, asked him what he thought of the war in Ukraine and he said that it didn't exist. Okay. So, I'm still going to give you
Starting point is 00:39:23 this leg up here because Matt is such a super fan. I really appreciate it because that's really all I got out of her. Okay. Yeah. So at any point during this quiz, you can call Steven Seagal. Sorry. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:39:36 You can call him. The staff here at the London Podcast Festival has him on. He's waiting on the line. Action star Steven Seagal? Yeah, the guy. Aki dojo? What's his name? Aki dojo.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Taka sensei. Taka sensei. Yeah, so he's just waiting. He's been listening in. He says we're doing great. I hope we continue to do great because I've seen the video where he repels people
Starting point is 00:40:01 with his G-Power. Yeah, so at any point during this quiz, if it gets too hard for you, you can phone Steven Seagal. Okay? Okay. So all I have to do is say phone Steven. He's on the line. Yeah. You can just say Steven or Mr. Seagal or whatever you want. Takase. Takase. Takase works too. So yeah. Actually, just to show you how it's done, we're going to start with Matt. Okay. So I'm going to read you a list of three things. One of them is real. One of them is made up. Or sorry. you a list of three things. One of them is real, one of them is made up.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Or, sorry, two of them are made up, one of them is real. Which of the following three movie titles are real Steven Seagal movies? Driven to Kill, Today You Die, Half Past Dead. The Way of the Fist, Dead at the Scene, Kill Count.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Death Liker, Not Without My Spotter. The Punchtacular Kick Ventures of Chauncey Q Chokeslam. Chauncey Q Chokeslam. Nice work. Thanks. Very nice work. That one's fake. I just want the credit.
Starting point is 00:40:58 It's beautiful. Well, Half Past Dead is a tender coming-of-age tale set in Parisian suburbs in the 30s. It's got a lovely early jazz soundtrack. Today You Die is a hilarious rom-com set in the corporate world of the 80s. That's not true. You're right. It's A, Driven to Kill, Today You Die, Half Past Dead.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Matt Riccardo, everybody knows his Steven Seagal movies. Wow. So it's one to nothing here, Jesse. How did you get his phone number? Don't worry about it. Okay. It's fake. The staff?
Starting point is 00:41:40 The staff had his phone number? Yeah, they did. He does a podcast. The sound guy, Alex? He does a great podcast. He was here last year. Him and his buddy from college watch all of Battlestar Galactica.
Starting point is 00:41:49 And they just break it down. And they have a lot of fun inside jokes. And you mainly listen for the friendship. The new Battlestar Galactica or the original? Oh, they're doing the whole thing. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay, Jesse.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Which of the following is an actual product endorsed by Steven Seagal? Lightning Bolt, an energy drink made with Tibetan goji berries and Asian cordyceps that comes in three flavors. Cherry Charge, Root Beer Rush, and Asian Experience. Wait, Asian Experience? Next. Going to read the next question. Magma Bomb. next gonna read the next question magma bomb by the way one other thing that my massage therapist told me is he would just go through different periods where he would claim different ethnicities

Comes in three scents, sesame oil, new car, and freshly punched face. Talk it out.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Which of these is real? Okay, well, I mean, the product here that probably makes the most sense is the balm because I feel like he's so famous in the martial arts community that, you know, selling something to MMA people or something would be... Yeah, how do you feel?
Starting point is 00:43:28 That's a good logic. Do you want to use your lifeline? Do I only get to do it once or I can do it as many times as I want? What do you want? You know what? Let's get...
Starting point is 00:43:37 Can you call Taka Sensei for me? Yeah, can we get him on the line? Steven, are you there? Hello? Hello. This is Steven Seagal. Wow. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:43:47 It's really him. I'm a huge fan. Matt, don't fucking embarrass me, man. I'm trying to get... Okay, Steven, there's three things, and I'm trying to figure out which one you do. I don't know if you remember. It's either an energy drink.

I don't know how much you know about the ways your name has been licensed, but do any of those sound familiar to you? Well, yeah. You're going to have to give me the brand names because I don't remember the products. Lightning Bolt, Magma Bolt. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Okay, I'm going to go with A, Lightning Bolt. You are unfortunately right, and we have a little video clip for you. Lightning Bolt is a unique energy drink. It's the first of its kind. With 100% pure juice blends and is the only energy drink to contain Tibetan goji berries and Asian cordyceps. This is real. You get this spot every time.
Starting point is 00:45:09 This is a real television commercial for a real product. For a bonus point. Okay. Say your name to ring it. In US dollars, how much is a single can of lightning bolt currently going for on eBay?
Starting point is 00:45:23 Jesse. Yeah. $22. Matt, you want to take another guess? of lightning bolt currently going for on eBay? Jesse. Yeah. $22. Matt, you wanna take another guess? I'm gonna go more. I'm gonna go, eh, 50. $1,500. $1,500 American for one can.

Starting point is 00:46:31 Is he in a Tai Chi uniform eating a carrot, in a leather vest with no shirt brushing a dog, or crying at a Taylor Swift concert? Okay. It's not C because crying is weakness. He's talking it out. The first two sound completely believable. I believe it is A. Let's see, shall we? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:01 There he is in a Tai Chi uniform eating a carrot. For the folks listening at home, you're going to want to Google that. All right, Jesse. He's wearing red sunglasses. No, the frames aren't red. The lenses are red. Makes everything in the world look red to him.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Jesse, this one's for you. Okay. Which of these is an actual quote from a Steven Seagal movie? You think you're hard? There's no one on this ship harder than me. Okay. I'll have 300 agents come up here and crawl into every orifice you got.

Starting point is 00:47:52 Okay. Do any of those lines sound familiar? I know you've been in a lot of films. Yeah, they just tell me what to say. Okay, do you have a favorite of your films? Yeah. What's your favorite martial arts move? It's the one, I like the swinging fist.
Starting point is 00:48:13 That's the, you know, that's translated from the original Japanese, which references some kind of animal. Yeah, I agree. That sounds right, right? I mean, not that I would ask you to question. You use the ear to disable the face.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Right. Got it. Use the ear to disable the face, yes. So wise. I feel privileged to have had this lesson. I'm going to say, A, you think you're hard. There's no one on this ship harder than me. No, it's not that hard.
Starting point is 00:48:51 It's not that hard. I can't imagine that he could punch someone with his dick. I don't know. Imagine it, baby. Steven, what kind of dick you got? What are you working with? It's got, I mean, it's not, it's hard to get it into a fist,
Starting point is 00:49:10 but it does have basically five fingers. All right. I'm going to go with B then. I'll have 300 agents come up here and crawl into every one of his. Let's see, shall we? Let's face it, I don't believe in your authority. Maybe you'll believe a gun up your butt.
Starting point is 00:49:27 How you wanna do this? You wanna play this game all the way? I'll have 300 agents come up here into this little hick town and crawl up every orifice you got. When it's over, you can go to your favorite proctologist and get a nice soothing ointment and rub it on the hole that hurts most.
Starting point is 00:49:53 How do you want it? It was B. Holy moly. We still use that catchphrase to this day. Holy shit. Matt, can you name, I don't have it in front of me. Can you name that movie? Oh, I don't think I can.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Hick Town... Oh, that's all of them. No, I don't think I can. I feel bad that I can't. Stephen, do you know the name of that movie? We're all kind of stumped. No. No.
Starting point is 00:50:22 That's okay. This is funny. So just as a little added peek into my research process, to find this, I went on an online list labeled Stephen Seagal quotes. I just Googled that, and this list came up, and this was on there. I have made a lot of mistakes, Stephen Seagal. Well. Guys, we're coming.
Starting point is 00:50:46 He thinks, Matt, I would ask Steven this, but I don't know if he remembers. I feel like. Can I also, it's 32. I put a number on it. It's 32 mistakes. Thank you. That's a lot. Thanks, Steven.

Thanks, Matt. I love that Matt is concerned about the safety angle here. He's like, just clear these bowls away. I want crisps.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Oh, yeah, here you go. I'm thinking pickles and nightmares. Did you get both kinds of crisps? Okay, hold on. Yeah. You should have a round crisp and a ruffled crisp. Again, there is no reason for you to be wearing eye masks. I think I got it.

Starting point is 01:03:09 to eat some more of those? They are delicious. That was, in fact, Doner Kebab. Doner Kebab flavor. The traditional English treat. Number four, this is... It's an English treat.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's in the British Museum. We signed some agreements with some other nations. We're looking after it. We're taking care of it. This is a very traditional British crisp flavor. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:40 This is just a classic. Yeah, it's a classic. Careful. For the listener at home, there are small wooden forks in the bowl to indicate the... I pretended that I thought it was a chip. To indicate the flavor.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Again, because they don't need to be wearing eye masks in this section. It was a wood. Chip is not wood. There's a bowl to your right. Thank you. All right. This one's not that bad.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Where's my wine? This one's not that bad. Yeah, this is good. A little sweet heat here. I'm going to actually try on this one. What are you getting? What are the notes? What am I getting?
Starting point is 01:04:21 I'm getting a sweetness and a little tart on the back. Is it sweet tarts? Yeah. Yeah, Valentine's Day hearts. I think it is. God, it's got to be something hyper specific. Okay, I'm going to say Kung Pao Chicken. Okay.
Starting point is 01:04:40 That's a great guess. Thank you. Saw that at the British Museum. I'm going to say brown sauce. I'm going to say brown sauce. That's my real guess. Brown sauce is good. It's a great sauce.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Congratulations on that. Ranch is great too, just so you know. It was in fact prawn cocktail. Oh. Yeah, a staple of the British diet. I mean, there's literally only one more to go. Okay, this is great. This is for everything.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Who's winning? Yeah, who's keeping score of this? No one. You are. This is your segment, Sarah. You got one right, I think. I can't keep score. I got a fucking luxury sleep mask on.
Starting point is 01:05:19 I might fall asleep at any time. No one asked you to do that. No one asked. No one wanted this. No one asked this. I'm passing you one asked. No one wanted this. No one asked this. I'm passing you a bowl now. Give me the bowl! Again, there's a shape that might help you with this and may not.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Okay, it's pretty crumbly. Okay, it's jammed up into a... It's like a chip got jammed up into a little squisher. A snappy squisher. Oh. Yes. This sucks. Yeah, again, this is a staple of the British diet.
Starting point is 01:06:01 This is every child in the country. Really? This isn't like a joke? This is made of British children? Yeah, absolutely. This is a Jonathan Swift situation?
Starting point is 01:06:10 Oh, yeah. No. Is that the flavor you think it is? A Jonathan Swift situation? Yes. Dark satire. By walkers.
Starting point is 01:06:19 How would you describe even just the form of it? Because I hated the form of it. Yeah. I don't know. It sucks. It's a reconstit form of it. I don't know. It sucks. It's a reconstituted potato snack.
Starting point is 01:06:29 We have these puffs at Trader Joe's called Pirate's Booty. It's like that. It is a little bit like Pirate's Booty. But what if it sucked? It's like Pirate's Booty if Pirate's Booty went in weird directions. That's like a puffed corn thing, I think, Pirate's Booty. I'm going to say pond.
Starting point is 01:06:53 You're way off base, Jordan. Way, way off base. I'm going to say sour pond. What is it? That's the best reaction I've ever heard. What is it? That's the best reaction I've ever heard. What is it? To an audience seeing a packet of Walker's Monster Munch in pickled onion flavor. Pickled onion?
Starting point is 01:07:13 No! Delicious. Can we take these off? Are we done? Is that the last one? You never had to put them on in the first place. Honestly. Who won?

Starting point is 01:08:05 What the fuck is a pickled onion? I know what a pickled onion is. I think it's a gross artificial flavor for a chip. No. Do you eat a pickled onion? Yeah. Like those pink onions. No.
Starting point is 01:08:18 The Gibson. I think about the cocktail. It's an onion. Can we get security to escort us back to our hotels? What you're saying is that in this country, an olive. I don't even drink, I know that. In this country, you take cocktail garnishes, impregnate them into puffy potato claws and feed them to children.
