Happy tastes good. Okay, this week's Yoggpod,
Starting point is 00:00:49 and I'm using the term week there quite loosely because we haven't released one in about six weeks. Okay, this month's Yoggpod is in honour of Saint George, the patron saint of Englandshire, who is famous for slaying a dragon and saving the people of, um, I think it was Turkey, actually. Why is he our patron saint? What? Why is he our patron saint? He's from Turkey.
Starting point is 00:01:24 What do you mean he's from Turkey? What do you mean he's from Turkey? I'm pretty sure he's from Turkey. Was he like Welsh or something? What? Why would he be Welsh? Because they've got the dragon on their flag. Ah, I think it's a different dragon. Unless the Welsh really do hate the English so much that they now worship the dragon
Starting point is 00:01:45 that almost killed St George. Did it almost kill him? See, I don't know anything about this. This story. It's all just bollocks at the end of the day, isn't it? So he was like a Turkish guy? That's really messed up. I mean, the fact is that all of our
Starting point is 00:02:01 traditions are stolen anyway. Tea is from China, obviously, and are like stolen anyway like tea is from china obviously and like curries and st george is now turk what else is like you know the queen's german well they are a german family yeah i know that was part of the joke it's your delivery that. That was the key in the failure of that joke. Hello, and welcome to Young's Cast.
Starting point is 00:02:33 What the fuck are you doing? I was just wondering where you were. I was just sat here in silence. Not moving. Staring at the wall. Waiting for you to start talking again. Rocking backwards and forwards, my hands around my knees, staring into empty space, solitary tears running down my cheek. We should play something. Do you want to play Train for Tycoon?
Starting point is 00:03:12 I was going to do something... I had something more exciting in mind. Right? How would you like to take... Da-da-da-daaaa... da-da-daaaaa... The Dragon Quiz. Right. Well, go on Okay, it's a series of 12 questions about You've guessed it, dragons! Are you up for the challenge? Yep
Starting point is 00:03:34 You're not allowed to use Google or any information sources around you You just have to rely on your brain and your own personal knowledge of things dragon. Okay, I'm ready. Awesome. Question one. What is the name of Eragon's dragon companion in Christopher Paglioni's Inheritance series. Oh, I don't know. How about Eleanor? Well, that's not one of the choices, because there are about three choices here.
Starting point is 00:04:15 There are choices. You're alright. It's alright. You've got a chance now. Unfortunately, you have to rely on my pronouncing the names correctly. Um, Aya, Murtagh, or Saffira? Aya, Murtagh, or Saffira? Oh dear. Yes! Aya sounds retarded. Sapphira sounds too generic. It must be Murtagh. Okay. I'm going to click it.
Starting point is 00:04:52 It's clicked. Nothing happened. So we're just gonna move on to the next question. Right. Okay. Wow. So we don't know whether that's right or wrong. I think we have to select all of the answers.
Starting point is 00:05:03 No, we've got no idea whether that's right or wrong. I think we have to select all of the answers. No, we've got no idea. That's brilliant. So we have to see at the end, okay? So question two. In Anne McCaffrey's Pern books, what are the special abilities of dragons used for? To burn alien thread out of the sky, to cook marshmallows, or to lift heavy objects? It must be heavy objects.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Must be. Must be. Although, that doesn't really make sense. I mean, if a dragon did exist, yeah, they'd be way, like, too heavy to fly, wouldn't they? And, I mean, you wouldn't be able to use them to, like, lift massive heavy objects. They use magic to fly, and that's how... It's bullshit. No, they're real.
Starting point is 00:06:01 There's no such thing as dragons either, to be fair. Magic is real. No, but Tuva, you could envisage there being a creature like a dragon. And the reason it doesn't exist is because it would be way too fucking heavy. Well, yeah, I mean it could theoretically breathe fire, yeah. So are you going with lifting heavy objects? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Okay. Dun, dun, dun! It's been selected. Who wants to be a millionaire? Yeah, apparently. Question three. In Tolkien's Middle-earth, which dragon is depicted on the helm of Hedor, worn by Turin? Is it Ankelegon,
Starting point is 00:06:46 Glaurung, or Smaug? I doubt it's Smaug, because that's the one that Bilbo steals the ring from, isn't it, or something? Is that... No, he doesn't steal the ring from Smaug. I doubt it's that. I think it's probably Glam...
Starting point is 00:07:04 the one beginning with G. That sounds more of a Tolkien-y name, doesn't it? I doubt it's that I think it's probably Glam The one with Beginning with G That sounds more of a Tolkien-y name doesn't it The one Beginning with G Yeah Glam Rhaegon
Starting point is 00:07:12 Is that what you said? You're just guessing Aren't you? You don't actually know I'm pretty confident The one on Thorin's Helm Your knowledge of dragons
Starting point is 00:07:21 Isn't very good Fuck you My knowledge of dragons is fine. It's got me by perfectly well until now. You managed to get through in life with a very poor knowledge of dragons. Okay, question four.
Starting point is 00:07:40 In the Harry Potter books... Ah, you must feel confident about this one. Oh yeah, I'm confident now. Okay. Which of the Weasley brothers has a job involving dragons? Oh, shit. I'm not even going to give you the choices. I'm not even going to give you the choices,
Starting point is 00:07:57 because obviously you know so much about Harry Potter. Well, the Weasley brothers... I think they're Bill and Charlie, who are the ones who I like. I'm going to guess Bill. Okay. Bill Weasley. I'm just eating some chocolate. It's my birthday.
Starting point is 00:08:16 It's my birthday chocolate. Happy birthday by the way. Very nice. Thank you. Did you want me to say that again? Just, you know, add that again? No. Question five. In the film Rain of Fire, where do dragons first emerge? Oh, you must know this one. Christian Bale movie. In the film what? Rain of Fire. Rain as in to rule something. But it also works the other way because fire rains down from the sky and the dragons rule.
Starting point is 00:08:53 So it's like a rain of fire. It's very clever. Erm... The choices are, because I feel like you need some help, Durham, Edinburgh, or London. Their names are films, are they? Oh, dear. What? No, the film is called Reign of Fire. We've been over this.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Oh, I'm right. I've not seen it or heard of it. In the movie, it's a quite good film, actually. But in that movie, where do dragons first emerge from? Okay? So, we're in the normal world, like now, but dragons, like, emerge from the earth, pretty much. Right?
Starting point is 00:09:40 And they do so in the middle of a city. I'm going to go with London. Okay, right. Yeah, I'm going gonna go with London. Okay, right. Yeah, I'm gonna go with London. Okay, in the 2007 version of Beowulf, the hero confronts a dragon. Oh, for fuck's sake. Have you seen this movie? No. Beowulf!
Starting point is 00:10:00 Okay, he confronts a dragon. What colour is the dragon? Oh, Jesus. Is it gold, red or silver? Er, one. Erm... Silver. OK. We're halfway through.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Good. Question seven. In Merlin, the 2008 BBC TV series... Jesus, I can't watch that either. OK. A dragon's held captive in it, but where is the dragon held captive? Jesus fucking Christ.
Starting point is 00:10:38 It's behind a waterfall, in a forest, or it's under Camelot Castle. Right. Under Camelot Castle. Right. The waterfall sounds a bit cliché. Forest doesn't sound like a very good place to hide a dragon. I'm going to go with under Camelot Castle. I'm going to go with that.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Okay, go with the cliché. Don't laugh! Okay, question eight. According to legend, St. George slew a dragon. On what day is St. George celebrated in England? Oh, shit. You must know this.
Starting point is 00:11:17 When's St. George's day? Oh, for fuck's sake! I don't know. Is it somewhere in, like, June? June the 26th, something like that? No, May, May the, May the, what are the clues? I don't know. The clues are April the 23rd, May the 23rd, or May the 24th.
Starting point is 00:11:44 May the 23rd, 4th, 24th, May the 24th? May the 23rd. 4th, 24th. May the 24th. May the 24th, okay. Yeah. Yeah. You're wrong, but anyway, question 9. What is the title of the first book in Kate Forth Scythe's series, The Witches of Elianan.
Starting point is 00:12:06 What? What? What? I know. Okay, but... Can you try pronouncing that again? Okay. Elianan.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Elianan. Right. Sounds like the French for banana. Elianan. Okay, The Witches of Banana. The title of the first book in that series is either called Dragon Bane, Jesus. Dragon Claw, or Dragon Lance.
Starting point is 00:12:33 No, I don't think it's called Dragon Lance. That's a series by Anne McCafferty or someone. Or Dragon Dragon. I'm going to go with Dragon... What was the first one? Dragon Bane. Oh, no. Dragon Claw sounds a bit shit.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Dragon Bane. It must be Dragon Bane. Must be that. Must be. Okay. Dragon Bane. Right. Question ten.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Yeah. That's another Harry Potter question. Oh, good. Okay. Good. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which species of dragon must Harry face during the Triwizard
Starting point is 00:13:10 Tournament? Is it a Chinese fireball, a Hungarian horntail, or a Swedish short snout? Oh. I don't think it was the Chinese fireball. That sounds a bit, like, weird. What was the Chinese fireball
Starting point is 00:13:25 That sounds a bit like weird What was the second one? Hungarian Horntail Yes I think it was probably that one I'm going to go with that Okay, question 11 I don't know
Starting point is 00:13:40 It could have been any of them Useless, fucking useless In the 2008 film The Mummy, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor It could have been any of them. Useless. Fucking useless. In the 2008 film, The Mummy, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Oh, for fuck's sake. Who plays the Dragon Emperor?
Starting point is 00:13:55 Oh, Jesus! I didn't even know there was a Dragon Emperor. Mummy, the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Is that the name of the film? I don't know. They're just churning them out now, aren't they? Mummy, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor? Is that the name of the film? They're just churning them out now, aren't they? Mummy, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Oh, God. Uh, Alan Rickman?
Starting point is 00:14:12 I don't know. Maybe? Well, he's not one of the answers. He's not one of the answers, right. What are the options? I'm guessing it's probably not him. The options are... Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, or Tian Lang.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Right. Tian Lang. I'm going to guess that Jet Li has better things to do. Although, to be honest, I don't really know. I'm pretty sure Brendan Fraser is the guy who is the star of it, so I very much doubt he's the dragon emperor. I'm going to go with the Tian Li guy. I'm pretty confident about that. Tian Lang.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Tian Liang. Tian Liang. Tian Liang. Okay, the last question. This is the last chance for you to redeem yourself and capture those special extra points. In the 2000 movie Dungeons and Dragons...
Starting point is 00:15:12 Oh, you're kidding me. Dungeons and Dragons the movie. Have you seen it? No. Have you seen it? Why have I not seen any of these fucking films? I want to see it. I thought you liked dragons.
Starting point is 00:15:24 I thought you were really, you know, you knew a lot about dragons. I'm really see it now. I thought you liked dragons. I thought you were really, you know, you knew a lot about dragons. I'm really into my dragons. You were like an expert. I thought you were the dragon emperor. I was surprised
Starting point is 00:15:33 when I got to that question, saw the available answers, and your name wasn't there. Go on then. Okay, in Dungeons and Dragons, the movie, who is the empress that owns a scepter that can control the country's golden dragons?
Starting point is 00:15:49 Wow. What a question. So, you're looking for the name. The name of the empress. Okay. Now, think hard. Try and remember. Okay, one, two, or three.
Starting point is 00:16:02 And I'll just click one of them. No, read them out. Read them out, I'm gonna guess. Okay, okay. Marina, Norda or Savina? Right, well I don't think Marina is the name of a dragon queen, it doesn't sound very dragon-y. What are the other two? Norda. She's an empress, she's not a queen.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Sounds a bit stupid. Norda, no. I not going to go with her. So, Savina? Savina. Oh god. Savina. That sounds sufficiently clichéd. I'll go with that one.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Okay, going with Savina. Let's check your score. Oh.

Starting point is 00:17:04 Apparently, it makes a comment on your score, right? It says, that was rubbish. That's all it says. They didn't even bother saying... That's not very nice. Oh, your knowledge of dragons isn't quite good enough as, you know, we would expect it to be, and we are very disappointed... It's not even that, it's just, you know, rubbish. I'm very disappointed that it's not one of those things where it says, you know, we would expect it to be. And we are very disappointed. It's not even that.
Starting point is 00:17:25 It's just rubbish. I'm very disappointed that it's not one of those things where it says, you are a red... A retard. You're a retard. You are a window licker. Oh, my God. What's a window licker?
Starting point is 00:17:42 Someone who licks windows, not wicks lindows.

And then, you know, you can put it in your signature. It gives you, like, a banner to put in your signature. You could create your signature. It gives you a banner to put in your signature. You could create a signature that says, you know, you're rubbish.
