Welcome to Who Knew It? Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart and our first guest has just released his comedy special scam artist filmed here at Stupid Old Studios. It's Tommy Dassalot. Thank you. Thank you for the Stupid Old Studios shout out in my plug. Squeeze him in wherever we can.

And you also like this is blowing me away a bit. You release a prequel video game for your special. It feels like that's a world first sort of stuff. I hope so. No one, I've been saying it is and no one's like come at me and corrected me. So yeah, I'm going to say I'm the only one stupid enough to have ever done something like that. I think it's amazing because it's getting a lot of love in itself.

Yeah, people are, yeah, imagine there's people that have played the game and the game is littered with ads for the special. I imagine there's plenty of people that have played the game and gone, no, that'll do me. Yeah, yeah. I did see one comment on one of the posts about it where someone said, love the game, but you really should label it as adult only. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone suggested I make a kids mode where that stuff is censored and where you can't die. Someone, a few people- You can't die. Yeah, like in the game like you can fall down pits People want to play with their kids. They want it to be easy You know can kids not fall down pits anymore like Mario and stuff is that

Boomer alert What's next a participation What's next, a participation trophy mode? Can't do anything anymore. I'm just surprised, I thought video games, you're always dying them. Isn't that part of it? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I guess, yeah, there's just, there just are some parents that, Hey Matt, like I agree with you.

I'm just reporting on what people are saying to me. What's the go with this fucking, these Gen Alpha types like Tommy? Is that the one you want? Gen Alpha? What is that? I don't know. Is that the one you're on? Anyway. What is that? I don't know. They're the current one, right? They're the youngest one?

Yeah. Damn, I've never even heard that. Yeah, well, we've moved quite a way down the line. Our second guest this week is the host of You Can't Blame Gravity for Falling in Love podcast. It's Maren May. Thank you, Matt. I'm so excited to be here.

I also recently changed the name of my podcast. Oh, what do you calling now? You don't have to try to say it anymore. Hey, it's called Marron has a crush on Oh, that's great Because no one could remember that first name I mean, I was reading and I couldn't get through it I thought it was a really clever quote, okay, but no one else thought that I think it could still be the, you know, the catchphrase or whatever

Yeah, it totally is Do you think some parents got mad though, or worried that kids would be offended by the gravity and falling down? So you had to make it the kids version? Yeah the kids version. I'm gonna steal that name for my podcast. You can't blame gravity for your kid dying in Super Dasslo land. Available now for the Game Boy Color.

But the pods, pods going well? Pods going well. Yeah it's going well. Rebranded. Wow. Yeah I did. But the pods, pods, pods, pods up. Yeah, yeah. Rebranded. Yeah, I did. Someone gave me good advice. I think that was you. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I said, I said the name's awful. If you're going to have to keep doing it, at least change the name. That's how I remember it. Yeah. I don't remember going like that. But anyway, great advice. And I think you're very clever to see a marketing guru.

And finally this week, host of Do Go On and the soon to be returning or maybe just having returned, I think it's soon to be returning Bookcheat podcast is Dave Warnocky. Thank you, but I have retitled Bookcheat podcast. It's Dave's Crushing? Yeah, yeah, that was on Matt's advice. Yeah I've got a bit of a boilerplate bit of advice. Just changing your name. I think uh what's your podcast going to get? Jesus Christ.

Dum Dum Club could be... The Little Dum Dum Club thank you. Now if ever there was a podcast that should change its name it's The Little Dum Dum Club. But we've been going too long now. That would be a funny move for us to just change the title 15 years in. Like it's shortened to dumb dumb by the hardcore fans like me. I've listened. You've listened. I've listened. Yeah, what when you were on it? Yeah, I was in the room. I tried to block it out.

But Carla's a really grating voice and we've kept digging in. Anyway, the way this show works is I ask a relatively obscure trivia question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answers as well as everyone and I have to guess which one is correct. The first question comes from listener Brian Colella from Bremerton in Washington in the US.

And the question is, what Euro-Hydrosis? What does it mean? What does Euro-Hydrosis mean? Hey, well I've got the listeners. Why not follow us on Instagram and Facebook etc at whoknewitpod. I'm filming the episodes, I'm filming this right now and when I get around to it I'm going to start putting up clips. So yeah, follow along at who knew it pod. And while they're writing their answers I'll explain how the scoring works so you get a point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestants and another point if you correctly guess the answer. And by the way I'm also playing as the house. Put in two of my own fake answers for each question I get a point for each one

of those that I guess choose. So each of us can score up to three points per round, which seems fair, but the probability apparently, according to a mathematician listener, favors me the house and the house always wins because of that. That's why you get triple points in the final round now. I don't know if that's new since you were here last, Tommy, but... Mine took a while because I realized I was accidentally typing it in my notes app instead of as a message to you. You were calling me a boomer just moments ago. Just saving it for myself for future reference. Oh, yeah. You think it's a you're going to come back to that in a couple of years.

What was this beard idea? What was I meant to do with that? Euro-hydrosis? He still like finished first though. Yeah. Did you mean just that answer you just gave? the one that you gave before the rest of us? Yeah, it's concise Thank you now. We'll all know which one was me The leanest economy of words

I should also say that most of the questions come from our patreon supporters if you want to submit a question So I'm on any level via patreon.com slash dogo on pod. And if you can't remember that, it's linked in the show notes. All right, the ads are in for question number one. What is it, Eurohidrosis? What does Eurohidrosis mean? To consume enough of a non-alcoholic drink that you begin to feel drunk.

A condition where you're so dehydrated that your pee becomes solid. Ow. The phenomenon of going on a long trip to Europe and forgetting to drink enough water due to the Europeans being so incredibly hot. Hmm. The ability some lizards have to drop their tail when birds poop on themselves to cool down.

Or it's a popular brand of bottled water in Europe Dave you wanna first crack here a couple Europe. Yeah answers there. Why do you think that might be? Incredible coincidence bird shitty on themselves to cool down that's appealing Bird shitting on themselves to cool down, that's appealing. But we wanted to log in the answer, but it is. Which one turns you on the most? That's on your video search history. Euro-hydrosis. I'm going to go with the bird shit, yeah, please.

All right, locking in bird shit for Dave. What do you think, Marin? What was the second one again? Second one, a condition where you're so dehydrated that your pee becomes solid. Oh no, not that one. I mean, that sounds not made up. That sounds like that's definitely a real thing,

but I don't think it's this thing. Oh yeah, it's got a different word. First one. To consume enough of an alcoholic drink, a non-alcoholic drink that you begin to feel drunk. You got the- Yeah. That's like, I feel like I've heard that before

and it's dangerous. Don't drink too much water. That's what my mumma used to say. Yeah. I'm gonna go with that. Okay. I think I'm gonna go with Dave and the bird shitting. Bird shitting.

Yeah, it just sounds like the most, yeah, I don't know. It sounds, that's the most plausible to me. Yeah, it's scientific. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's difficult for a bird to shit on themselves though, isn't it?

Yeah, how would they even do that? Oh, you'd have to be flying. I was thinking that. Shit and then fly down and like cop it in the face. If anyone could do it, it would be a bird. Yeah. Yeah. If anyone could shit while flying and fly below to cop the shit, it'd probably be a bird.

Hang on, so Dave just went the bird would have to shit and then quickly fly down around underneath the shit and he was like halfway through this explanation and Marin went yeah yeah no I was thinking that too. What? How are you thinking it, Tommy? Well, rotate upside down and then just kind of shit like a little fountain all over yourself. Okay, right, so you gotta like spin on your head, like do a break dance move. Break dance, yeah.

I was picturing it more just like dribbling down their legs sort of. Oh, cooling off their feet. Off the claws. Or like, yeah, sitting, shit, and then you've made like a little pool and you're kind of rolling around in that to kind of coat yourself like a little- Roll up, yeah.

You'd want to be in the desert or something, right? You'd have to be pretty hot. If there's a beach nearby, there's other options, first. I'd have to be really hot for someone to say to me, the only way to cool down is to shit all over yourself and it will- and it will cool you down. I'd need to be like- Because isn't it- that's sort need to be like. Isn't it? That's sort of famously quite hot, isn't it?

Yeah, famously. It's definitely the hottest shit. Is that just mine? Air conditioner in the toilet bowl, just like pointed up at you, cool you down. Yeah, now think about it. You would have to shit and wait for it to cool down and then roll around. It would also have to be quite explosive if you're doing Tommy's method. What if you have like a slow poop then that doesn't... That's true, well that's true yeah. Maybe you want a fountain poop. Yeah I'm picturing a bird with a horrible diet.

I think we've covered all our bases here how this could possibly work. Bird experts also know that how this could possibly work. Bird experts also know that they their pee and poop is all one because they have a cloaca. Mmm. So the fountain explanation bears weight. I mean this is we are assuming that when it's coming out it is like where where it sounds like we're all assuming that this is basically human shit that's coming out of a bird. You know we've put our own experiences. What if you're Donald Duck or something like a humanoid bird? Read in the newspaper. Oh, they're a bit hot. I think I'm just, this is on my mind because my car got decimated the other day by some birds in my street. Cool, cool.

Fucking nightmare. Yeah. I really, I mean, I know the answer, but it would be fun if we have really discussed something that is just a bit of nonsense that one of you come up with. But anyway, let's find out. Here's who wrote the answers. Condition where you're so dehydrated

that your pee becomes solid. That was Brian, okay, the house from the beautiful mind. Damn it. Brian, that was messed up. Come on, Brian. The phenomenon of going on a long trip to Europe and forgetting to drink enough water due to the Europeans being so incredibly hot that was by European born Maron.

Nearly tricked you. Popular brand of bottled water in Europe that was Tommy Couple of years. Europe on the mind. Yeah. Yep. Where do you get your answers from? Couple of years on the mind. Yeah. Yep. Where do you get your answers from? The ability some lizards have to drop their tail that was the house I was also tempted by that because obviously that is a thing but I didn't know what it was called So well, that's kind of in the same ballpark as the bird any kind of skewer nature fact. Yeah To consume enough of a non-alcoholic drink that you begin to feel drunk my heart went for that. That was Dave Warnocky Meaning you are both correct. It is when birds poop on themselves. Hell yeah. No way.

I'm looking forward to the explanation as to who was right as to how they do it. What does Europe have to do with it? I mean, I... Northern hemisphere based birth. Yeah. Because they're so hot. I think it's Euro like urine. Oh, damn. Do you have hot birds in Germany? When Matt and I went to Ireland once, we saw this bird and we were like, that is the hottest bird. We were, oh man. We couldn't take our eyes off this thing.

Clip this out without the context of what we're talking about. Me and Matt saw this hot bird in Ireland. Jess was there too, and Jess also thought this was a hot bird. It was a hot bird. We like put a video out of it, and then the Irish locals were like, oh yeah, that's just a magpie. Yeah, that's like a pigeon to them.

We were like, look at this, I'm filming and zooming in, and I'm like, look at this bird. They're just flying rats to us there. That's awesome. Any hot German birds? As far as I'm concerned. We don't even have any birds.

You can't imagine a bird in Germany. No, I'm always trying to remember wildlife in Germany and I can't think of any. What's the main animal? Yeah. What's on the coin? Oh yeah. Oh, it's the- Modern coins. That's the worst I've talked about your ones from the- Oh, that's on the coin? Oh yeah. Oh, it's-

Modern coins. It's the- Oh that's actually- Oh my God, that is actually a bird on the coin. Oh, is it sitting on its own? Do you know the term, this is from a previous episode from maybe a year ago. What's the German word, Filsstorch mean?

What? Yeah, OK. I hope it's real. Anyway, it's a German thing about a bird that is has an arrow pierced through it, which helped prove that birds migrated rather than just becoming fish in the in the winter, which is what some people thought it was. Anyway. Oh, I. Fielstorch. Ah, tune into episode 64 if you're curious about that. I remember that one.

It would seem so ridiculous and that was the right answer, yeah. So after one round, Dave's on two points, Tommy's on one point, Maron in the house yet to score. Here's question number two. This one comes from Amy Clark from Winterport in Maine. And the question is, which of these are real cephalopod? So you've just got to come up with a fake species of cephalopod, you know, squid octopus, cuttlefish. Oh, thank god. I definitely didn't need that explanation.

Yeah, I certainly didn't either. I'm only doing it because I would have. There was another one, but I can't, I never heard of it, so I didn't mention it. Can you, sorry, can you repeat the question? Which of these are real cephalopods? So you come up with a bullshit, like you don't have to describe it, just the name of an octopus, cuttlefish, squid type animal.

Sure, okay. A species of that, and then I'll read out the list of them and that question will then make sense. Got it, okay. While you're writing your answers, this is about Eurohydrosis, according to Wiki. It's a habit in some birds of defecating onto the scaly portions of their legs as a cooling mechanisms.

Oh, I was right. I found the legs! Which is probably, I must have read that. I cut and pasted it, but I probably saw it out of the corner of my eye. Using evaporative cooling of the fluids. Birds droppings consist of both feces and urine, which are excreted together through the cloaca. Nature's so beautiful.

This behaviour leads to accumulation of droppings around the leg rings on ringed birds, which can lead to injury. The term is also used to describe the analogous behaviour in seals that cool themselves while basking, by urinating on their hind flippers. Nature.com writes, Eurohydrosis is relatively rare in birds because it requires regular access to drinking water, but New World vultures, condors, stalks, gannets and boobies engage in this behavior.

The New World, they're all about it in the New World. Can I guess what you were gig-winger? Mine don't do that. They don't. Wait, the context was. Yours don't what? Oh shit on themselves to cool themselves down. Your boobies. Oh you mean your stalks. Alright the answer of question number two. Which of these is a real cephalopod? Squirty squid, cuddle puss, quiggle fish, man-eating shark squid, the enlarged basil squid or wonder puss. I think Mara and it's your crack here. My instinct is to go with the man-eating something. Shark squid? Shark squid, yeah. What's the shark got to do and eating sharks?

It does also sound super made up, but I kind of I don't want to keep asking you to repeat the answers firstly So I'm not gonna do that and then also I'm gonna manifest that that's a thing I'm a man-eating shark. I mean if you wanted to hear me and I'd be happy to hear them all one more time. Yeah I want to hear them again. I'd be happy to hear them all one more time. Yeah, you're all happy. Maybe one more time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Squirty squid, cuddle puss, quiggle fish, man-eating shark squid, the enlarged basil squid, or wonder puss. I'm a big fan of cuddle puss, but I'm not gonna go with that. It's cuddle, not cuddle. Cuddle puss is fun too. Yeah, but you don't say cuddle fish.

It's like, you say, do you? Australians don't say it like that. Our accent is more like, cuddle, cuddle. Cuddlefish. I just wanted you to have all the information. Thank you, I appreciate it. And I didn't even have to ask. Cuddlepuss, that'd be ridiculous.

Yeah, it would be. Cuddlepuss. Cuddlepuss is definitely a thing. I did think you said cuddlepuss and that immediately ruled it out for me. But now that it's cuddle. Back on the table? It's back on the table. No I'm going to stick with my instinct. Man eating shark squid.

Yeah, the shark squid is my big fan. Man eating shark squid. So is it, yeah. Is the squid man? Yeah, anyway. Tommy, what are you? I'm like, what's eating the man? Yeah, you're telling me a man ate this shark squid?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's out of... It's now out of cuddle puss or what was it? Enlarged basil. Enlarged basil squid. Enlarged basil squid. Quiggle fish, squirty squid.

Wonderful. You don't need to repeat the rest of that. That sounds like a band name or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Modern day band name. Okay, um, Basil. Enlarge Basil. All right, lock an enlarge Basil. For Tommy, what do you think Dave? I mean, am I brave enough to go cuddle? Puss.

Or what's the squirty one? Squirty squid. Squirty squid. Squirty squid sounds like it's got uro... to roast us or whatever. Getting hot down there. Um, poor, poor, poor, poor cuddle. Squirty squid sounds like it's got Eurotemrosis or whatever. Getting hot down there. Um, poor, poor, poor, poor cuddle. Yeah, give me cuddle.

Let me do it. Cuddle. Cuddle puss. Luffian cuddle puss for Dave. Alright, here's the answers. Quiggle fish, Tommy. Fantastic. Quiggle.

Big fan. Had a teacher in school called Miss Quiggle. Really? It was one of the great names. Wait, are you thinking of Mr. Squiggle? Oh no. I was homeschooled. I was homeschooled by Mr.

Squiggle on the blackboard. Kind of a blackboard at my school. Upside down. All right, mate. I'm sorry. You do it. Yeah, he was a real prick. Miss Squiggle. Squirty squid. That was the house prick. Like that. I missed squid. Uh, squirty squid. That was the house. I was tempted.

Uh, man eating shark squid. My arm went for that. That was Amy, okay, the house. No, that's fine. I'm okay with that. Do you picture it? I still can't figure it out. Man eating shark.

That's a shark that eats men. So man eating shark squid. So what I imagine was some guy at some point went to the beach and picked up this man-eating shark, what's the last bit? Squid. Squid, and should nerf, and then was like, fuck this guy, man-eating. Fuck that guy.

So you're saying, I like how your story starts with someone go, it already existing and a man goes and he picks up a man eating shark squid. Yeah. And he shouldn't have. Yeah. Because the squid bit the man and then was like, well, I'm going to name this the man eating shark squid. Oh, it used to just be a shark squid.

And then they just never had the, they'd never seen a human before. Yeah. Because it was a man and he probably exaggerated his pain a little bit. So you put shark in there. Yeah. So it's not just like a man eating squid. Yeah. Because a little bit. So you put shark in there. Like, so it's not just like a man eating squid. Yeah. Because that wouldn't be, that wouldn't be big enough.

You know, it's a shark squid. I thought you were going to say, you know, we've got like all these crazy cross breeds of dogs now, like we really when let's get these and like mash them together. But we haven't really ever done that with any other part of the animal kingdom. So I'm picturing like a group of deep sea explorers being like let's just get in there and get all these different marine life to f*** and create little you know mutant yeah we've got horses and donkeys but what about imagine front end shark back end squid that'd be sick. This is so Boomer. What's next, shark squid? It's a slippery slope.

Cuddle push, which Dave went for. That was marring. Oh yeah, good one. Good one. I was trying to help you out and you're like, ah, that's what I said. I'm like, ah. Anyway, worked on Dave.

Yeah. Got me. The enlarged basil squid, Tommy went for that, that was Dave. Meaning the correct answer, no one got Wonderpus. No way. That's a thing. Yeah.

See, that's why cuddlepus was like so plausible. Yeah, honestly it was. Yeah. Out of the two, cuddlepus is more plausible than Wonderpus. How would you say Wonderpus in German? I love how Germans do W's. I don't see it was. Out of the two, Karpus is more plausible than Wunderpus. How would you say Wunderpus in German? I love how Germans do W's. Wunder is Wunder.

Wunderpus. That's even better. I think that's way better. And again, that was a man who went to the beach and saw a squid and was like, whoa. That's a good squid. That's a good squid. That's a good squid.

So Mara's on the board, the house on the board, and Dave also gets a point there. Jeez, things are tightening up. So after two rounds, it's Mara and Tom in the house on one point, but Dave way out in front now on three points. Ooh, dammit. Question three comes from Ingrid Francesca from Columbus Ohio and Ingrid's question is I know I forget what kind of nerds people are.

Watch out Ingrid! So I'm just I'm like hopefully none of you are Star Wars nerds I don't think. Mm-hmm. Or any you're not nerds at all I forgot I've got three jocks in today. Yeah, yeah. Yes, I made a video game to promote that. Uh, so the question is in Marvel Comics Star Wars issue number eight from 1977, a new character named Jackson, J-A-X-O-N was introduced. What was he or who was he? Just give us a brief description of Jackson. The character, okay. Who was introduced, I don't think he us a brief description of Jackson the character? Okay, who was introduced? I don't think he's ever been in any of the films

But yeah, just a brief probably a sentence describing who Jackson from issue 8 of the of the Star Wars comic Who was he while you're doing that? Here's some more info about wonderfuls corner, Amy In addition to possibly having the best name of any octopus, this little cutie can mimic its surroundings and venomous species when it feels threatened, which likely contributed it to not being fully described until 2006 or even discovered till the 1980s. Each octopus is a rusty brown color with alternating bands of colour and bright white

stripes on its tentacles and bright white spots on its head and body that are as unique to each octopus as our fingerprints are to us. And as their scientific name implies, Vundapus, Vundapus photogenicus, a beautiful name for a boy or girl, is quite important to the marine photography and tourism industries. All right, the answer for question number three in Marvel Comics Star Wars issue number eight, a new character named Jackson was introduced. Who was he? He's a half-duck, half-human who rides around on a bike that can go back in time.

His Han Solo's estranged half-brother who stars in adult space pornos. Jackson Solo? That's a porn star, okay. He's Han Solo's estranged half brother who stars in adult space pornos. Jackson Solo. That's a porn star. That is a good name. I also enjoy the adult prefix to pornos, adult pornos. Yeah. You can fall down holes. Darth Vader's elderly butler. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. every now and then, but then ended up fully living with her. Or half of an alien comic relief duo resembling Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the other being his brother, Jax Off. Jax Off, Jax Off. That's great stuff. That's great stuff.

That's really great stuff. I'm sure it's probably real. Yeah, and should really make it to the big screen, if that is the case. We should write and draw a Star Wars comic that has all of these. Yes in the one story I'd read that. Yeah, the first probably would have ever read But I think you should just skip it and make it in a video game Tommy It would make a great video game. All of these could be good boss characters in it

You've got to beat Han Solo's estranged half-brother. Yeah. In his porno playmantra. You've got to kick this guy out of Princess Leia's bed. Alright, Tommy, your crack here. So you've got half-duck, half-human. Mm-hmm. Also time travels.

The half-brother of Han Solo who's in porno. Darth Vader's elderly butler. The cocky six-foot tall green rabbit. Princess Leia's first ever boyfriend who fully ends up living with her. Or half of the comic duo with Jax Off. Yeah, I'm tempted to answer by what I most want to be true. I think it's a great strategy sometimes. Well in this case, what I want to be the most true is Jack's off. But there's just, there's absolutely no way. George, we've got an idea for a new character.

I can say that apparently George did hate this character. Okay. Okay, okay So the when did we get like when this was 77 77? Okay, right, right interesting That's soon after the first movie. Yeah, I think so cuz did did the third one come out in the early 80s So I think it must have been like I think right middle there about that time Yeah, I think you're right. I think it's probably between the first and second. Yeah, it's been a surprise hit. Marvel gets in there. This will be driving people insane. Look at that!

Star Wars? What's that? It was the same year it came out. The first one came out in 77. Oh really? So straight into it with the comic books and the weird side characters that weren't... Okay, I mean that... Okay, I mean that, okay well that, hmm. It seems like it's probably not gonna be like two out there, cause you know, like the franchise is so new at that point. Like now all bets would be off.

You wouldn't put anything past it. Yeah, yeah, like we need to come up with aliens. Yeah, oh baby Yoda. But it's like still at this point, the weirdest thing in there after the first Star Wars is Like a camp little robot. Yeah, okay. That's that's it. That's kind of the extent of it, right? They do have that band though. Oh, yeah a little band Yeah, you know what? I'm gonna go with um, I'm gonna go with sassy group big green rabbit

Okay, sassy green rabbit for Tommy especially cuz I think think that makes sense that this film's just come out and George Lucas would pick up this comic book and be like, what the fuck is this? This is a, you're taking the piss? My beautiful universe! Okay, I was tempted by that or the duck man. Half duck, half man and it rides a bike. Ah, they can go back in time. That's the beauty of comics.

You don't have to be able to make it real on the big screen. Yeah. This would have been hard to do. This would have been hard to do with realistic effects. Maybe that's why George hated it so much. It was so good and he couldn't do it on screen. You know, he was like, he had to wait for the technology to catch up.

He really wanted this in the first movie, but he couldn't do it. He couldn't do it on screen. You know, he was like, he had to wait for the technology to catch up. He really wanted this in the first movie, but he couldn't do it. Yeah. So would the back half be rabbit or duck? Because that... Oh, no, the duck, half duck, half human. Oh. But same question, which part? I'm like the back half.

Because it rides a bike, right? Like, how does it... I'm picturing like Pluck a Duck. What's that? Oh yeah, good point. And I... And people who've lived through their whole lives wouldn't have understood that,

but it was in the nineties, he was like a character on a variety show. Have you not been educated about Hey Hey It's Saturday in all your time in this country yet? No. Okay. Well, I imagine it's on the citizenship test. I just arrived here. What do you mean?

Oh, poor. I mean, Princess Leia's boyfriend. Is that too crazy? Him rocking up? It could just be like a throwaway thing like, oh, it's bloody Jackson. It's Jackson. No, I think it's got to be something a bit weird. I think I'm going to go for the duck. It's Jackson. Mm. No, I think I'm gonna go with the, I think it's gotta be something a bit weird. I think I'm gonna go for the duck. Locking in the duck. Yeah, you saying plucker duck, it makes me really worried.

Cause I'm like, did someone just think of plucker duck? But okay, put it in a duck. You know how plucker duck rides a bike backwards to travel in time? Plucker duck, are you plugging it? Is that what we're doing? Plucker, he was all, I think he plucked, his whole thing was that you pluck it.

He was on a, I'll take it from here. It's so hard to explain. He was on a variety show and it was a bit where they'd get someone out of the audience to like play this game where they would like be sitting on a bike that would be powering like a little carousel that had little mini versions of pluck a duck on it and then they would have to like pick pluck one off and like One of them, you know, you'd look at his little in his little butt I think it was and then I'd show you yeah, he'd be covered in his own shit And I would show you like what you'd won so you could win a car. Okay, that's why I can't believe that is a real thing Yeah, that jingle went pluck a duck pluck a duck. He's not a chicken or a cow.

Pluck a duck, that's him right now. That's catchy, okay. It is catchy. I'm undeniable. I'm already booking a flight home. Get me, get me out of here. Am I answering, is that what you're saying? Yeah, yeah.

Half duck, half human, strange half brother, porn star, Darth Vader's butler, big green rabbit, Princess Leia's first boyfriend or half of a comedy duo with Jack Soff. I would love if porn was real. Like the movies just come out and they're like, porn exists in this universe. 70s is golden age of porn, right? Don't get involved. Jack Soff is so good.

I would love for that to be a thing. I was going to go with the, um, your, your answer, the green, what was it? Green rabbit, the green rabbit, but also you said six foot six, right? No, six foot. Oh, okay. It was like, I imagine a really big. But let's put you off. It's not big enough.

The difference between six and 6 foot 6 is what? It's a big difference. 6 foot just sounds like that character like lied on their Tinder bio. Oh yeah. 6'6, you can't really lie about that. You know, that stands out. I see. Also the elderly butler, I think that would be nice, you know, get some elderly characters in there with no real It's not enough old character probably Emperor. Yeah It's also it's a Marvel comic, you know, that's it's like a superhero trope, isn't it? Butler I imagine there was like an elderly rider on the team and he was like I need more representation

Yeah, I feel sad. I'm gonna write this character. So I'm gonna go with that. Jo was in Star Wars. Jo picked it up and was like, old people. Is that some toys? Going with the butler. Alright. Here's who wrote the answers. Half of the comic relief duo with Jax off. That was Ingrid, aka the house. That's a question right there.

Princess Leia's first ever boyfriend who ended up fully living with her, that was Maron. I honestly was like, if it wasn't for the fully living, I reckon he could have had a character that was like Harold Loventress. So it almost got me. The estranged porno brother, that was also Ingrid, aka the house.

What a beautiful mind, Ingrid. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Did Ingrid live okay. The house was a beautiful mind. Did Ingrid live in the seventies? I think so. Well, very, very possibly. Yep. Um, and, or maybe she wrote it a bike backwards from there. No, what that's forwards. Anyway, speaking of a half ducks, half humans who can go back in time.

Dave went for that. That was Tommy. Great work. And you're spot on that. I was thinking of Speaking of half ducks half humans who can go back in time Dave went for those Tommy great work And you're spot on that. I was thinking of Crap to be honest when you mentioned When you read the question out, I kind of didn't hear the Star Wars bit I just heard the comic book bit and I was thinking about the other day we were talking on filthy casuals about how every element of Hey Hey It's Saturday could be its own standalone Batman villain and John Blackman this like disembodied voice just taunting Batman

dicky knee yeah all of they could all be their own Batman villains yeah yeah for sure bringing out the gong the red redlar. Yeah. The redlar. Poor Marin has no idea what we're talking about. I was like hoping no one would notice. It's like poor Marin and most of the audience. Yeah. This is good homework for everyone. Do yourself a favor. But anyway, I was inspired by- Which is a classic Molly. Yeah, Molly.

Filling with a hat. So I was inspired by that. I was trying to write the- I just completely- I completely forgot that you'd said Star Wars. And I was trying to write the I just completely I completely forgot that you'd said Star Wars and I was trying to write Pluck a Duck through the lens of it being a Batman villain. Still got me. Even though I didn't even answer the question. What else have we got here? Oh Marim went for Darth Vader's elderly butler that was Dave Thought it'd be like a comic relief sort of bit of fun fun in there But then yeah, it is the year the first movie came out. They're not going for that. Yeah. Yeah

That means Tommy's correct. It's the big green rabbit the big green rabbit. Wow, but not that big only six foot 76 foot was pretty tall but not that big. But only six foot. Yeah, yeah. But even 76 foot was pretty tall. Yeah, yeah. Maybe over here. Yeah.

A short king rabbit. Yeah. So two points for Tommy and a one point for Dave that round. All right, we're on to question number four. And this one comes from Bryce Stafford from Oxnard in CA, which is either California or Canada I reckon. And the question is, or this is potentially playing into your wheelhouse now, it's a video

game question. Okay, no pressure. In the Nintendo Entertainment System version of Punch Out, what was the name of the Soviet boxer? So you're going to give us the name. It's probably before your gaming time, the NES. It's, it's, no it's in the wheelhouse boat, yeah. So the Russian boxer, the Soviet boxer, what was its name in the game Punch Out? It's the name of the, of the boxer. Yeah, so you just need their name while you're

writing your answers. Here's a little of the boxer. Yeah, so you just need their name while you're writing your answers. Here's a little bit more info about Jackson. According to Ingrid, Jackson bears the distinction of being one of the first Star Wars characters to be introduced outside of the films. His species is lepe, or leapy, which comes from lepus, or lepus, the Latin word for rabbit. He's a smuggler by trade, wears a red spacesuit, and talks like Bugs Bunny. Star Wars creator George Lucas was not a fan of the six foot rabbit, and as a result, his appearances outside of the original comic run are few and far between. He does have his own action figure though.

Acast.com. All right, we're back. Here is question number four. In the Nintendo Entertainment System version of Punch-Out, what was the name of the Soviet boxer? Muhammad Aliski. Putin Avlad. Grim Stoikman. Vodka Drunkinski. Dr Comrade. or Bulgari uppercut Muhammad Ali ski Putin a Vlad grim stoic man vodka drunk in ski Dr. Comrade or Bulgari uppercut back to you Dave oh my gosh there's some great names there. I mean, do they go for a comedy name and say vodka? What is it? Vodka, drunkinski.

Drunkinski. Did Nintendo take a shot like that? Do they? Oh. I can, cause we have had a question in the past about the Italian player on this game. Oh really? Do you wanna know their name?

I think that might help. That's helpful, yeah. Pizza Pasta. You're kidding. Well, I'm going to go for a Wodka Drunkinski, please. Welcome Adam for Dave. What do you think, Myra? Muhammad Aliski.

Oh, that's also good. Poudonet Vlad. Grim Stoicman. Wodka Drunkinski. Dr Comrade. Oh yeah. Or Belgari Upperc Comrade, or Belgare Uppercut. I do like the Uppercut. Who doesn't like the Uppercut?

But I'm going to go for the one before that, the Comrade. Dr Comrade. Dr Comrade. Comrade? Is it Comrade or Comrade? It's Comrade probably. Surely Comrade. I think, you know, Nick Cappy used to have a line line about comrades and he'd say it wrong for comic thing

But I think it's got into my head and now I say it wrong as well I do love that when you see someone with a bit where they it's hard to tell if they are Deliberately saying it wrong to be funny or if they if that's just how their brain works That is me like all the time people like are you trying to be funny? I'm like nope, I just don't know how to pronounce that word. Yeah, because slightly saying something wrong is funny. Yeah. But yeah. And it was fun seeing audiences react to Kappa saying it wrong because you could feel them almost like agitated by it, some of it wanting to, like that's not how you say it but others

are just laughing because it sounds funnier than... Well knowing that it's Kappa, absolutely no chance it's on purpose. So in his... I would have said comrade as well. Yeah but I think it was he said it even weirder com... com... comrades or something. And you're like ah it's not raid, it's comrade. Comrade. That's your problem. Hey com- comrades. Yeah, yeah. Something like that. Um, all right. So Dave's locked in, Marron's locked in. What do you think, Tommy?

I think... I think either Bog- What was it? Bulgari Uppercut? Bulgari Uppercut. Bulgari Uppercut or Grimstone. Knowing that the Italian character was pizza pasta. It's gotta be something. By the way, I'm pretty sure Rimsdó, knowing that the Italian character was Pizza Pasta.

It's going to be something. By the way, I'm pretty sure that Mike Tyson is in this game, which makes all these made up just bullshit names based on the most vague thing from a country even funnier. Real Mike Tyson is in the game. And then they've got an Italian character called Pizza Pasta. Mike Tyson, KO called Pizza Pasta. Yeah, Mike doesn't K.O.'s Pizza Pasta. Yeah, yeah. That's awesome. Grim Stoicman, it's either that or Bulgari Uppercut and it's yeah, it's hard to know which one is more likely. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say Grim Stoicman actually. Grim Stoichman. Yeah.

Welcome Adam for Tommy. Here's the right the answers. I feel bad about that instantly. Bulgari uppercut. That was Dave. Yeah. Good, good. Muhammad Aliski.

That was the house. Putin. I mean, that's not exactly what I'm doing with the house. House. The house. I'm saying it wrong. That's just how you say it. Putin a Vlad.

That's the house. That's the house. That's the house. That's the house. That's the house. That's the house. House. The house. I'm saying it wrong. That's just how you say it. It's funny. Putin A Vlad. That was Maron. Why didn't you like that? We loved it. I think it was fantastic.

What was Putin doing in the 80s? I was trying to remember that as well. When did he hit the scene? I don't know. He would have been around for a while. He was influencing the Nintendo game creators. He was a developer back then. Grim Stoic Man. That was also The House. God damn it.

I'm afraid Tommy. That's a great name, Grim Stoic Man. Dr. Comrade. Mara went for that. That was Tommy. Damn it. I really liked that one. Cannot believe it. I loved that. That's so good. Dr. Comrade is so funny.

He's so good. Talk to a comrade. It's so funny. He's a pasta. I ended up going to Grim Stogman, but initially I was working with like, Commie Redman or, you know, Commie... I had... Commie... Commie... Bastardinsky was one? I'm like, that's a bit... That's a bit silly. Well, because I believe... Because it is like an... it was for America, right? I'm pretty sure Punch. Yeah, I don't know. I I would assume it was developed in Japan

and so then you've either got like weird translation stuff of these names being translated into English or the Local division just kind of getting to do what they want. Yeah, which yeah probably Explains what they want. Which probably explains why there'd be a character called Pizza Pasta. It was created by Genio Takeda who was Nintendo's general manager. Right. Yeah, real fun. So does that mean we're... oh yeah, that means, I can let you know the correct answer was W drunk. No way.

Crazy. Vodka Drunkinski takes on pizza pasta. See that to me, I don't I don't think that would be like a translation from Jack. I think that's like the American, the American arm of the company have gotten to just call the character whatever they want. American arm of the company have gotten to just call the character whatever they want. But I think the American arm ended up going, we can't have any alcohol references and it got changed. Oh really?

Okay. But I don't know where it came from originally. If the Russian character for the Italian character, is that how we got vodka pasta? Oh my god. Yeah. Is there such a thing as vodka? Yeah I do know that. It's so good. Nice little vodka sauce. What? Oh my god what's it like? It's very yummy. Yeah it's good. And very easy. It's good you just like you kind of simmer some, you get a little tomato sauce going and you pour a little vodka in it and you just kind of let that go until that like evaporates and it gives a little thicker yeah oh my gosh yeah so someone watching this boxing match between an Italian and a Russian going this gives me an idea let's do some cooking.

Apparently in the game so he was introduced in 1984 is from Moscow, Moscow, and yeah he drank vodka in the game. Oh hell yeah. But they ended up changing it to soda and change his name to soda Popinski. No way! What?! Really? Yeah, because I don't think they liked him having the alcohol reference. That's disappointing. So Tommy gets a point, Dave gets a point, and the house gets a point. So now after four rounds, two rounds to go, it's Marin on one, house on two, Tommy on four, but just out in front still on five points

is Dave Warnock here. All right, question number five comes from Emmy White from Albuquerque. The question is, what was the headline on Vox's science section on May 27th, 2015? What was the headline? So it was a sciency, science-ish headline from the Vox news website, I guess is what Vox is, on May 27th, 2015. I don't know if the date's super important but while you're writing down your answers I'll let the listeners know a bit more about Vodko Drunkinski. According to Nintendo fandom, in Super Punch Out, Vodko Drunkinski was the champion of the USSR and

the third opponent the player faces. He has a high defense and moves very fast with his drunken punch. However, if the player dodges quickly has a high defence and moves very fast with his drunken punch. However, if the player dodges quickly enough and punches immediately afterwards, they can set up a series of consecutive punches, which is very useful given Drunkinski's high defence. According to Bry, the question writer, Nintendo of America rejected this name for the US release of the game, not because it's horribly horribly racist but because they didn't want any references to alcohol in their video games and his name was changed to Soda Popinski. Pretty amazing stuff. Popinski. Popinski. I love that that's the bit that they're married to. They're like no how else will people know he's Russian

if we don't have this suffix here. Yeah, yeah. All right, answering his question number five, what was the headline on Vox's science section on May 27, 2015? Black holes may taste like butter. NASA thought Sally Ride needed a hundred tampons for one week just to be safe. From what? Scientists posit world vastly under prepared for pandemic. For a pandemic. Shut up nerd, replies outspoken Senator. Proper appliance of science leads to over-reliance, complains researcher charged with non-compliance. Man discovers new species

of shark squid after suffering terrible bite or severe flu diagnosed in bat in Wuhan, China? Whoa. Okay. Oh yeah, right. Why 2015? Geez. So we're up to you, Mara. Seems to be a lot of confusion in the answers about what Vox actually is.

Some people seem to think it's like the onion. And then some people think it's more of like a legitimate, just straight down the barrel facts news source. The truth is somewhere in between. So you got Mara and you need them again? I'm actually, I think I'm good. Okay. For a change.

I think the Wuhan thing could be a thing, but I don't want to think about that. I don't want to be reminded. So I'm going to assume that is a bunch of man writers working for the Vox. Is that what it's called? Vox, yeah. Vox, which is also a TV channel in Germany. Oh, just a bit of trivia. They play like very naughty late night movies.

So like SPS. The darkest on there as well. I'm going to go with that. He doesn't have pants. That's something we should have mentioned. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's been on that German channel a few times. I was pretending I didn't know him. I'm going to go with the NASA thing.

All right. NASA for my own. Can you remind us what that one was? NASA thought Sally Ride needed 100 tampons for one week in quotes, just to be safe. From what? Do you know what Sally Ride is? It's the from what that really... Yeah, I was with it totally until from what?

In the headline? No, that's a good headline, that would get me. You're going on. Yeah. From what? The thing thinking in case she gets into like an interstellar situation. It's like, sure, you're only meant to be up there for one week. What if you end up on a planet where one week is like six years?

Yeah. That also makes me like I want to imagine that she might be attacked by something and can start throwing tampons. Yeah, they're like the very squelchy aliens. Just soaking up. I'm being soaked up.

No! My one weakness! I think they're just afraid of period. So if she even pulls them out, they're like, ah! What is that? This is a great ad. This is a great tampon ad. Better than just like the baker full of like the liquid that they pour on. Even soaks up aliens.

Yeah, there's like an ad with just big red splodgy aliens. I think this could be something. Should we? Let's pitch it. We should pitch that. Let's go on that, on Gruen. Uh, Dave? No. Tommy? Yes. Sorry, can I get a quick summary of all of them again? Yes. Black holes may taste like butter.

NASA thought Sally Ride needed 100 tampons for one week. Scientists posit world vastly underprepared for a pandemic. Shut up nerd, replies outspoken Senator. Proper alliance, appliance of science leads to over-all over alliance complains researcher charged with non-compliance Man discovers new thing new species of shark squid after suffering terrible bite or severe flu Diagnosed in bat in Wuhan China Hmm. I mean if it turns out that last one's right. We've made some big mistakes I mean if it turns out that last one's right we've made some big mistakes

Is it an option reporting on it is it an option to guess that none of them are real Unfortunately one of these is real. Okay, maybe the Not that I understand it in any way, but the rhyming one. Okay. Did it rhyme? Yeah, the science compliance. Yeah. Oh, it does rhyme. Read that again. Proper appliance of science leads to over-reliance compliance

research in charge with non-compliance. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna go that one. What about you, Dave? I've been, they're all ridiculous. I think I'm gonna go the tampon one as well, even though I'm put off by, from what? But I think I'm going to go with that one too. Even though you are put off by the word tampon.

From what? Tampon, I told you. Alright. Do you get to change your answer if you laugh when you lock it in? Because that happened to me and it immediately made me realise that I picked the wrong thing. Sorry. Just immediately you went ha ha ha. Oh dude, I'm sorry about that. You might have gone to your breath, what a loser.

I thought, I didn't realize Tommy was a dumb shit. Tommy's stupid? Nah, I'll still go on. I've made my bed, no no no. I think you can change if you want. No, I don't know what I would give. I'm too shy. What would you change to?

Yeah, exactly. All right. Because yeah, sorry that I did laugh. I thought I did that inside. Severe flu diagnosed in Baton Wuhan. That was Tommy Dessler. Scientists posit world vastly underprepared for a pandemic. Shut up, nerd. Reply as outspoken Senator. That was Emmy, OK, the house.

So if it hadn't had shut up, nerd on the end, I would have picked that one because I was like, that's that's coming from the same direction as my one. That makes sense that that would have been a real thing. And we'd look back on it now and go crazy that they were saying that. And someone would write it in and go, can you believe it? Yeah Man discovers new species of shark squid after suffering terrible work No, that wasn't a wild coincidence, that was Marron

Well done Black holes may taste like butter That was Dave Warnocky That's pretty good They may I thought it was just one of those dumb headlines, you go, huh No one would know That sounds like the kind of nonsense, don't you? Yeah, that's why I thought it was just one of those dumb headlines, you go, oh. No one would know.

That sounds like the kind of nonsense. Yeah, that's what I thought Vox would do, that kind of nonsense. And then you tell someone you read an article about it and they're like, oh, they ask you to elaborate and you're like, I got to be honest, I didn't click the headline. I didn't click. Yeah. That just facts with me forever now. Proper appliance of science leads to over-reliance, compliance researcher charged with non-compliance.

Tom went for that, that was the house. I open up rhyme zone when I'm writing out my answers for this one. And that doesn't, you're right, it doesn't, you not knowing why it makes sense was correct. In my head, the idea was this guy's been, a science guy's been charged with non-compliance. I'm just trying to say the words. Yeah, talk me through the process. So he's going like, oh yeah, well proper appliances science will just lead to us all relying on real science. He's like just... I just found it impossible to pick because they're all like tonally, they're so all over the place and that one just being a like

quite dry thing but it was like hey isn't this crazy that this legitimate news source had a had a rhyming headline like that's just the way things happened. Okay so that means Maren and Dave is correct. Ah correct. NASA thought Sally Ride needed 100 tampons for one week just to be safe. From what? That's great. From what? I love that so much. Why from what then? Well they're saying they're like, what did they think? Yeah It's a it's the article is pretty it's pretty shit Who have they write a list of things like what do they think Temple's gonna say from a bear? What do they think and it's just like a list of 20 things. We just did the same thing Would we put it in print though? True. So is Vox, Vox is like pedestrian and all them?

I guess so, yeah. I think, oh that makes a lot more sense, okay. But yeah, it is, it's wild that, yeah, NASA is sending her, she was the first American woman to be sent up into space and they're like, what do we give her? Yeah. These are, as the question writer, Emmy said, these are meant to be the most brilliant ones in America.

Right. But that makes sense to me. It's like you operating at such a high level as putting a rocket into space, that takes up so much brain capacity that then there's barely any room left for anything else. Yes. These people aren't like doing grocery shopping or anything like that. They don't know. What UberEats do NASA?

Yeah, they're not sure about the price of milk and that sort of stuff. Yeah, they don't know. It doesn't concern them. Let me see if I can pull out some of these. Because I apologize for shitting on that article there, Tommy. I don't know. It's the kind of article you would write. You seem pretty defensive about that. But let me see if I go pull I'll pull it out and you can we have so many questions about the logic behind

that theory NASA just wanted to be safe from what exactly that's one number two what do they think was gonna happen up there number three were the engineers under the impression that tampons were a defense against space monsters? Okay, you're right. We did the exact same. Orbears? Is this an article or is this like a Jay Leno monologue? What are they doing? It is. It's a tonight's top ten list. They're thinner up there with 100 tampons. What do they think is going to happen? Number eight is real talk. Did the NASA engineers know what tampons were for? That's real talk. Didn't the NASA engineers know what tampons were for? That's real talk.

Anyway, I love it. I think it's fantastic. And Tommy, you've turned me around on it. I thought it was bad, but I now think it's very good. All right, so that means in that round, the house got a point and so did Marin and Dave. Wow. So we're going to the final round. I should say this is worth triple points.

So it's still truly anyone's game. But the scores at this point are Marin on two, the house on three, Tommy on four, but out in front on six points is Dave Warnocky. Final question comes from Sam Shaw from Ashland in WI. The West Indies or Wisconsin, I reckon. And the question is, what is the synopsis of the 2013 film Mr. Go?

What is the synopsis of the 2013 film Mr. Go? So you want to probably like three, quite a short you know paragraph, but like three, four sentences long, something like that. What is the synopsis of the 2013 film Mr Goh. And while you're writing those answers, let me read the bit of the article leading up to that listicle. You're right, Sally Ride was a physicist and the first American woman in space. Ride's accomplishments were extraordinary, but as Anne Friedman pointed out in her excellent profile of the astronaut, being first also had its burdens, including for instance the need to disabuse NASA's male scientists of their spectacularly wrong expectations with regards to tampons.

In preparation for Ryde's trip aboard the space shuttle, tampons were packed with their strings connecting them like a strip of sausages so they wouldn't float away. Engineers asked Ryde, is 100 the right number? She would be in space for a week. That would not be the right number, she told them. Apparently the male engineers then replied, we just wanted, we just want to be safe. That's right. NASA was under the impression that Sally Ride's seven days in space would require a hundred tampons. Emmy writes, literally considered some of the smartest people in the world thought

a woman would need a hundred tampons in a week. My mind is blown at the stupidity. It's so funny. I mean, the article's writing about a thing that happened long before, um, 2015, which probably also, uh, maybe confused the issue there for you Tommy as well. Because I think she was in the 80s where they were I think I mean even in the 80s it feels wild that they didn't know that. Other questions that the Vox article brings up. Seriously were they also going to send a couple of liters of O negative and an IV up to space to replenish ride after all the

hemorrhaging they apparently thought she would be doing in a spare time? Or were they just under the impression that women like to try and discard multiple tampons in a row Goldilocks style before they find one that is just right? It really is a, it is a Jay Leno bit. Alright final question. What is the synopsis of the 2013 film Mr Go? Donald Johnson is a lonely, overweight gamer whose only dream is to go on a date with his beautiful classmate Rosanna.

Only problem is, she doesn't even know he exists. One day everything changes for him when he wakes up with incredible super speed. Will his new found power and fame be enough to win the heart of the girl he loves? That's something ladies love. That was super speed. Ladies love a fast man. See how fast that guy was?

If that clocks in at the start of a day, at what point are you discovering that you've got super speed? You know what I mean? Like you get up to go to the toilet and you're like, Oh my God, I got in here like a second flat. Piss just shooting out of you for lightning speed. Everything's fine.

That'd be really good to cool yourself down. Yeah, yeah. It'd be dangerous probably. That's your first option. Then you go, go, go, go. Tom Cruise be dangerous probably. That's your first option. Then you go, go, go. Tom Cruise stars as Mr. Goh in this explosive action thriller. Mr. Goh has truly never known a slower pace in life after being implanted with a chip by a scientist's stepfather.

Unsure what happens if he does slow down, he lives his life life at full speed never not agonizing the world around him Scientist stepfather Specific detail This 60 year old I need to make him throw you first. Go, go, go. Such a great opener. You're not my real dad. Maybe the stepfather used to be um,

a butler on Star Wars. Yeah. Elderly butler. This is from 2013, he was 50. Yeah, he was only 50 then. Sorry, I forgot that he was only 50. But he can play young. Yeah, he actually can, yeah. Well, that's a trope about him, is that he's always running in his movies.

So it makes sense. Someone would go like, let's just, let's cut the shit. Let's give the people what they want. Tom Cruise running. Tom Cruise is for an hour and a half. Ah, second opportunity. A wealthy but cruel business tycoon thinks he has everything, until he finds out that he has an aloof 14 year old daughter

he's never met and he's faced with the one challenge he may not be able to conquer, fatherhood. Okay. Option four. Mr Go. Mr Go. He's always on the go. Then you've got option four. James Corden stars as a man who, after a series of failures in his life, paints himself green

and decides to never stop moving. He becomes a national phenomenon, finds love and befriends Nicki Minaj, who stars herself. Will his new found fame come crashing down around him when he clashes with a mysterious nemesis, Mr. Stop? Played by James Franco. What? Sorry, he's back to talking to me and never stops moving.

Is he just waving his hands around or is he walking? What's he doing? I have not seen this film, Dave. That's so funny. Never stop moving. And he's green. Wei Wei is a 16 year old girl who leads a circus that once belonged to her grandfather to pay for her debt.

Her only family is a gorilla named Ling Ling. One day, a baseball team's agent visits and recruits Ling Ling to play for the team, where he quickly becomes the star player. Or 38 year old. Doesn't even say Mr. Go in there there. Yeah and Ling Ling is a gorilla? Ling Ling is a gorilla. Okay. Huge turn from the one before that took the title very literally too. Where here it doesn't even factor in at all. Who cares? Mr. Goh. Or finally 38 year old Eric

Miles loses his company's entire payroll on a black market roulette table He now has 48 hours to come up with the cash before the company opens on Monday and his wife is away And he is in charge of their three kids and two dogs. I guess it's gonna be a big weekend for the fam Hmm. I was in until that and his wife shit about the kids and the dog Didn't mention mr. Goh either. Yeah. I mean, this guy is clearly on the go. Mr. Goh.

He's Mr. On the Goh. And I guess the Gorillaz nickname is probably Mr. Goh. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Or maybe the team's called... Or the person who like came in, the scout, that's Mr. Goh. Yeah. Or they play for Mr. Goh's team. So many options.

Yeah, there's a lot of options. You don't have to spell it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although I love the ones that do. Uh, all right, Tommy, what do you reckon? I'm leaning towards The Circus because I think that this could be potentially a foreign language film and you know, like the Mr. Goh thing, it kind of makes sense that this could be potentially a foreign language film and you know like the Mr. Goh thing It kind of makes sense that it would be you know what I mean like a title that you're looking at from another language

You kind of mean something but you look at it here. You're like why the hell was it called that? So yeah, I'm gonna go with um Yeah, joining the circus and the and the gorilla. All right, I that in. Gorilla? Yep. Oh, that's good. So, yeah, I think we cracked that one wide open. I think I can remember the, what were the first two, if you could quickly remind me. It's based on the yoga gorilla ads, I think.

No, you picked it, you couldn't have written it. Dave, what did you say? Sorry, Dave, I was thinking about- Again, this is your show. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. second one is Tom Cruise. Go go go. Tom Cruise stars as Mr. Go in this explosive action thriller. You don't, you famously don't watch Tom Cruise films. I know you think that I ha- he's just, he's just fine. I also incorrectly use the word famously a lot. I think I've realised. Has that boat of a done that to us today? I just think he puts stunt people out of jobs. Yeah, yeah.

What are you doing? You're 60 years old. You don't need to go to space. I do hate the thing- Or just use a green screen like everyone else. We don't care if it's real or not. Yeah, I do hate the thing that a lot of his movies, the enjoyment that you're meant to get out of the film is like knowing the behind the scenes fact that he did this stuff himself.

Doesn't make it any more interesting to watch the film. No, I don't think so. But it always makes it, you never seeing bad CGI. Like that is real. Yeah, that's true. But you can also get that with like a good. With good CGI. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. I do like, I really like James Gordon is a green man and he never stops moving. But I don't know if that's, if it's, if it's really, I think, I think I've never seen a Gordon movie. So I imagine he's got quite a few that I've not heard of. And this is 2013. This is before James Franco was canceled as well. Wasn't it? So, and he no longer works with you. Not in the last couple of years. I'm gonna go the first one. I think, sorry, if that means the super speed.

The guy wakes up with super speed? Yep, Mr. Go. All right, locking that in for Dave. But Liz, only you, Maron. What's, I was kind of with the last one until I think whoever wrote that gave up with the second sentence and just went, and his wife is away.

Also his wife is away. Okay, sure. But that's not how that works. I mean, I don't read movie synopsis. Synopsis? Something I'll tell you, Marin, about the movies that are normally featured on the show. They're not good. Oh, okay.

Right. I feel like you wouldn't start a sentence with also though, surely. What was it he's like lost a whole bunch of money for his company? Yeah, on the black market, on the black market roulette. Right, so those are already such high stakes. So to feel the need to throw in, and not only that, the misser will be fucking furious at him. It feels like it's like, you know, and though you see those movies, movies it's a comedy but they start setting it up like it's a genuine thriller. Yeah yeah yeah. But in the and he's wearing like a baby on his you know with the jacket. Sure yeah he's got the hangover like the police thing. He's Mr. Goh. Yeah that's right. Like the trailer even starts out super serious and suddenly he's like slapsticksticking around. Yeah. I'm gonna go with the guy painting himself green.

I do like that image. Because I also think- He never stops moving. He never stops moving, but then also he's painted green, so I assume the people around him also don't stop moving. Yeah, that's right. Because it's green means God. They're like, yeah, subliminally they're all,

and you've got to assume James Franco is all painted red as Mr. Stop. Yeah, yeah. He's enemy. And that's, you know, you want to see that. The big showdown at the end. Oh my God, that's a walking red flag. And then there's a secret cameo at the end, it's like Robert De Niro as White and he's

yellow. Mr. White. Mr. Get Ready. All right, let's go through who wrote these answers. Our 38 year old Eric Miles loses his company's entire payroll on the black market rule at table before Dave lost interest. Dave wrote that one. I didn't know.

I thought it was funny to start out very serious and then be like, whoa. That is a bit of a trope thing, right? That's like an 80s. It's like a 2013 movie trope. It does feel pretty 80s, doesn't it? I'm picturing Michael Keaton in the lead role. And it's like a 2013 movie. It does feel pretty 80s doesn't it? Yeah, yeah. I'm picturing Michael Keaton in the way drive. And he's like trying to like run, he's got the van full of kids.

Yeah. And he's like driving, you know, through the back streets. It's around Mr Mum era, you know, Michael Keaton. He was a man, but he was a stay at home parrot. And that was the setup for the movie. It was called Mr Mum. It was called Mr Mum. That's correct. Hell yeah.

And that's a real film. That's why yours didn't sound that crazy to me. Yeah, because you've seen Mr Mum. I like that the show started with go, go, go. Was that it? No, Tom Cruise's Mr Goat started with go, go, go. Was that it? No, that was it. Tom Cruise's Mr. Goat starts with go, go, go. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was marron.

Go, go, go. The idea that Tom Cruise would say yes to a film like that in 2013 is so good. He totally would. Yeah, there's a few actors who've had the dip that he never really had. Travolta you can see maybe. Oh for sure.

Yeah, well he kind of self dipped where he's just like, now I'm only gonna do Top Gun and Mission Impossible. I'll just be in a huge film every like three years. That's a way to live your life though, right? Yeah. That's how I'm gonna probably do it. At one point when I start slowing down,

I'm probably only gonna do one pot. One pot every three years. One blockbuster pot. He spends four years trying to learn how to fly a black-off helicopter for a 30 second shot. Oh true. Hey man we've got a guy on speed dial that can just do this. Yeah I'm picturing him chilling out through the rest of the time but he's not. He's like studying hard. Well he was in the closing ceremony of the Olympics. I wonder if that in his head, does that count for one of his films? Is that like, you know what?

I've earned a couple of years off now after that. That's so funny. He did his own stunts? I haven't seen it. Yeah, yeah. He like, he like, he like was on wires and he like, you know, like abseiled into the, to the stadium. I mean, I'd be impressed if Nicky Webster hadn't done that 24 years ago.

That'd be great if when you watch the next Mission Impossible, there's a bit where he's just like, yes, sailing into... They've just used footage from the closing. So you're like, hang on a minute, I can see the wire. Like, they should do that. Look, he might not be in a movie that's called Mr. Goh, but he looks like he's living the life of Mr. Go. He is Mr. Go.

He's Mr. Go to the movies. He's going to paint himself green. Tom Cruise is Mr. Go. A wealthy but cruel business tycoon thinks he has everything until he finds out he has an aloof 14-year-old daughter he's never met. That's the biggest challenge he's going to have to conquer fatherhood. That was Sam, aka the house. Right?

You said the word aloof. Oh yeah. I love it. he didn't know about them at all it doesn't get much more aloof than that yeah 14 years she's been living with him the whole time that's a loop I like that it's worth pointing out that he's the one billionaire in the world who's wealthy but cruel you know yeah normally get to the top with kindness, don't you? Sam also wrote the one about Donald Johnson, who wakes up one day with super speed. That's great.

You just love it. The concept of it is cracking you up. Oh, I'm over here now. Oh, I'm so fast. Then, Mr Stop, Mr Go, James Corden and James Franco, the two big James's, that was Tommy Dasslo. He never stops moving. He never stops. I'll just be really vague about what that means because I'm imagining this is a synopsis

that's pulled from the back of the box. And so you've got some pictures there as well that are, you know, that are giving you a bit more of an indication. And he's green. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. And Nicki Minaj is in there, who we befriends. Yeah.

And it's James Corden. Yeah, I believe he did. And I think the Nicki Minaj thing is like a, who would have thought of that? I was trying to think of a real like of the moment 2013, because I watched a shitty film from 2014 the other night that she was in and it had a bit of a whiff of like Beyonce being in gold member where like your agent saying to you. Hey, you're gonna break into acting. Yeah, this is the this is the role It's this film that she's in called the other woman with Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann and so on paper. Hey, they're two big stars This is this will be a great role for you. And the movie comes out and it's shit acting career just tanks yeah

well Tommy you were correct the gorilla who plays baseball that is the movie Missy and what where did you guess it was filmed? Not in an English language speaking country, if that's not too specific. Korea. Nice. Yeah. Okay. Nice, Mr. Go. Mr. Go, and yeah, I didn't realise until we were

talking about it, but I think he, just looking at the synopsis now, he becomes dubbed Mr. Go when he plays baseball. Mr. Gorilla. Mr. Gorilla. Mr. Gorilla. He plays for the Doosan Bears and they have a miraculous winning streak. I got to watch this film. Yeah, I want to have the line.

There's nothing in the rule book. The classic says we can't have a gorilla. Yeah, I can't wait to learn what that is in Korean. It also needs to say go, go, go. Oh, yeah. I think you should write more. That was a great synopsis. I think we to say go go go. Oh yeah. I think you should write more. That was a great synopsis. I think we should pitch that to Tom.

Yeah. That should be a rule on this show. The losers have to write up their film pitch as an entire script. All right. While I'm adding up the scores, I'll let you know that it doesn't have enough reviews to have a score on Rotten Tomatoes, but here are a couple little snippets from reviews. A reviewer named Richard Schwartz wrote, Mr. Go is a delightfully whimsical movie, noteworthy

mainly for its surprisingly sincere depiction of a generally absurd situation. I don't want to see that movie. That scenario played out sincerely. Yeah. Yeah. to see that movie, that scenario played out sincerely. Yeah, yeah. And another user, just a user on there wrote, I've never so happy until after I watched this movie. This movie has given me a new look on life.

Wow. I now no longer fear death. It's a gorilla, right, though? I think maybe. Here are the final scores. In fourth place, with a strong outing of two points, that's Maron. In third place, on four points, it's the house. In second place on six points is Dave Warnocky, but rocketing to the finish with a big final round on 10 points is Tommy Dasselo!

Goodbye. All right. All good. Yeah. How's the pesto sandwich? The pesto was fantastic. That's good. What's the pesto sandwich? The pesto was fantastic. That's good. What about the rest? The egg was possibly a little bit overcooked.

Oh. You can overcook egg? Oh yeah. I didn't know that. Is that a German thing you don't know? You're like the hardest boiled eggs in the world from Germany. Yeah, right. It might have something to do with me being vegan more than...

Oh, yeah. I went straight to German. Is that a German thing? in the world from Germany. Yeah right, it might have something to do with me being vegan more than you. Okay. I went straight to German. Is that a German thing? Everything is a German thing. Alright, the answers are in for question number one. I don't know, I'm saying that slowly to cover for me, copy and pasting your things, but I should just How slow could you go I

Mean if they could they probably would but it was boobies the bird first Good question see I look um I don't know where I've been I've never heard that before I clearly need to be around birds more. What? No, I only know it because of this show Yeah, there's been at least a couple of rounds of this sort of question where the answer was Shagadelic booby or something That sounds like a carpet Oh yes, I'm not doing well Like the smallest amount of admin that I have to do on this means that I'm not doing well. Like the smallest amount of admin that I have to do on this means that I am... I remember this from last time.

You seem to get so distracted by your own show. Dave, you want to look it up while you're... if you finish your question? I'll look up a Wunderpus. Am I spelling it how I imagine like a wonder? With a WU but the rest is yeah like Wunderpus. I did it again I was in my notes out by accident. I don't know what's going on today. It's happened again. Oh Wunderpus. Oh my goodness.

Yeah they're pretty amazing. We'll keep seeing a little video then. I feel bad doing that. Marron is pretty offended by that. Yeah I they're pretty amazing. We'll keep seeing them in the video. I feel bad doing that, boy. Marin is pretty offended by that. Yeah, I'm very easily offended by that. You're German. That's why my great grandfather was German, so. And when did he came? Didn't he come over like at late, at mid-40s?

1900, I believe. Okay. Yeah, look at this thing. Oh. Yeah, that is this thing. Oh. Yeah, that is cool. That looks super cool. That's, yeah.

Looks like a wonderful... I totally get the man that named that. Yeah, you know what he was talking about. Yeah, pretty amazing looking things. All right, while you're still writing your question... All right, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. I'm literally reading this. It's a very fun idea that, uh,

Darth Vader has a buttload of... And he's gonna be real slow. And Darth gets really frustrated. Come on on man! How long did it take you to develop this game? My one? Like six months. So I did all the art direction stuff and

all the writing in it. And then another guy did all the level design and the coding. AKA the actual work Right. I haven't learned how to develop games just for this project. Yeah. Yeah, I linked up with a guy who yeah Makes Gameboy Color games for a job in 2024, which is crazy And can I play it on my Gameboy Color? Yeah How would I get it on my Gameboy Color? Yeah. How will I get it on there?

You need to get, you can get a little cartridge that you can put an SD card into and you download it and put it in that or you can just play it on your phone on the touch screen. Yeah cool. That's so cool. Sick. Gonna go play tonight. I'm gonna call up the developer and get some Russian characters modded in. Alright the answer in, yeah I think Wodka Drunkinski is up for grabs. He's up for grabs yeah. The Nintendo estate sale.

Do you get to sort of track the number I guess you the downloads of the game you'd you know it's getting a bit of love? Yeah the the developer sends me the numbers every now and then And yeah, it's doing well Along is it? Because you're a big Japan lover. Mm-hmm. Have you do you know how many it's getting downloaded over there? Well, I'm getting physical copies made up for sale And what I really want to do is get it translated into Japanese and get some of them put onto physical carts and go over there and like try and do a... Vanell was like you should hire a car and pull up as close as you can to the Nintendo

headquarters and just sell them out of the boot of the car. Just like as close as you can get to Nintendo without getting told off, which I think would be a pretty funny like video series. That'd be sick. Taking it over there. Like it's so it would be so funny to get it translated into Japanese because then like so much of it is like very Australian humour. Like I've got references in there to like the Harold Holt pool and stuff like that. So like bothering to get that translated into another language.

So like, well people can read it, but they're still not going to be able to understand any of what it's about. There's like in tiny font underneath, he was a Prime Minister. Yeah, I've got to have like a whole page of footnotes. Is Japan, I think Japan, someone was telling me or I heard somewhere that like musicians and stuff will go there and they get confused like Beyonce was there did a show finished number and he's expected where she would normally get huge people are silent yeah I went to a couple of gigs last time I was

there and it's like that's the cliche and it's like it's spot-on it's crazy they'll clap like politely at the end of a song but like when the band are playing like I think most concerts you have to get a drink when you get there. So you like, you go in, you give them your cash for a little token. You get your drink. And then after that, so everyone does that, but then like, no one hits the bar during the show and like both the gigs I went to, no opener, They start like bang on the band play for like an hour and 10 minutes. Exactly.

And then that's it. You know, here it's like a whole night thing. It's an excuse to get drunk, but there it's just like, it's, you know, it's like going to the theater or something. It's like, yeah, we saw a show. It took an hour out of our night. Wow. And now we'll go get dinner.

It's like, this rules. Very efficient. Yeah. It's so much better. You love that. You love that country. I do. I watched the first three minutes of your special. So I know that. Well, I didn't have time. I was watching it just earlier today, but it looks so good. Oh, thanks. Yeah. I do love Japan.

I will watch the rest. You don't have to. I read some of the comments of people like, oh that ending. And I'm like, oh great. Well you know what, you can just skip right to the ending. That's the beauty of YouTube. And it'll still be as satisfying. No, not at all. 38 callbacks that mean nothing to do. school offers.
