Hello, Matt here letting you know that I've got some shows coming up in Brisbane. We're doing a live Who Knew It? And I'm also doing a stand-up show, my show Ding, at the Caxton Street Festival on the 19th of October. And then I'm going to be in Geelong working on an hour of new material on the 31st of October at the brewery there. Jeez, I'm looking forward to that. Then, of course, I'm flying over with my friends Jess and Dave to do a tour of Europe for Do Go On, but at the end of that tour I'm doing three Who Knew It shows with Stand Up as well in London on the 17th November, Leicester on the

21st of November and Edinburgh on the 23rd of November. Cannot wait to do all of these shows. Hopefully we'll see you there. You can find tickets at mattstewartcomedy.com. mattstuartcomedy.com. Mattstuartcomedy.com. Welcome to Who Knew with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart and our first guest is host of Good Tucker on SBS Food at Serenjai Mana. Hello, how's it going? So good, so good to have you back.

Not just SBS food, also ABC International, which I didn't know what that is. But then my friend was in Bali and they turned their TV on in the hotel and guess who? Sorry that I came out so weird. Guess who? He sounded like you're quite emotional. I will point out his name. He's my friend in Bali. I sounded like you were quite emotional. I know. All I want to point out is, hey, Fever season.

I'm actually quite excited about it, but yeah. For some weird reason, we're on TV's in Bali. I love it. Let's say we're big in Bali. Yeah. At least one person has said so. Our second guest this week is Melbourne's premier farm based comedian.

It's Rae WWin Pickering. Thank you. Sure, I say Melbourne, probably. Australia's? Australia's premier farm-based, yeah. I don't know. Sure, I'll take it. Anyone who's topping you on that. No, I don't know.

Does that refer to like where your comedy, like where you live as you're a farm-based comedian? Or is it like your comedy, your material? No material? No the material. I perform exclusively on farms. I don't think I've seen anyone else do crowd work about the amount of liters of milk certain breeds of cow give out. And do that material to a crowd of pigs. Yes, that's right. They don't know anything. That's right. Because it's easy to do that to a crowd of cows. They not.

For preaching to the choir. But you know, when comedian has real edge, they'll do that to pigs. Well, you know, if it's funny, it's funny, you know, and you should be able to do it anywhere. Anywhere. Yeah, and if you see a cow in the crowd and you decide not to do it. Well, that really says a lot. It does it, it does it.

Take a look at your material. Back out and you can't do it. Funny's funny and... It's too much pressure. Funny's funny and farmie's farmie. That's what Raewyn often says in the green room. Wow. I'm like, ugh, it's a bit on the nose, but that's Rowan's style.

I'm on the nose. That's actually how I tag all my jokes that I'm not confident in. Is what Rowan says. On the phone. Our third guest is from the Two and the Think Tank podcast and is a writer for Sean McCall's various programs. It's Andy Matthews. Hello, it's me. But you were telling me before you haven't written Frizz 1 about discoveries

of people's ancestry. That's right. You didn't write any of that. I didn't write any of that. I didn't come up with any of the ancestry. You didn't write any DNA chains or? Unfortunately not. So Aaron Chan, that was all just him. That was just Macaulay. It's a shame, because I've got a lot of really funny ideas about where Aaron Chen came from, but they weren't interested in any of them. Oh my God.

You were writing them as like- Is that the right thing to say? I don't know. I think it is. I think that's a fantastic thing to say. I think if Aaron Chen was in the room- Farme's farming. I think more's a fantastic thing to say. I think if Aaron Chek was in the room. I think more people should be saying it.

Thank you. So the way the show works is I ask a relatively obscure, trivia question and our guests have to write a convincing, fake answer. I then read their answers. Well, there's a real one left. I guess which one is correct. And hey, well, I've got you. The cameras are rolling.

There's going to be a clip from this episode, maybe two, depending on how much time I have. So follow us on whonewitpod on Instagram, Facebook, et cetera, or me at Matt Stewart Comedy on TikTok. I've been putting them up there and getting tens of views. Wow. Can people in Bali even see it? I think people in Bali, they are visible today.

Sweet. With the right connection. ABC International crowd. Yeah. Guess the right connection. That hot ABC international crowd. Yeah. Guess who? Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh.

Uh. Try not to cry. It's fine. So the first question comes from listener Oz Tilsen from Victoria. Um, little back hander here. The fun one in Canada. Ouch. Cup that.

Oh. Cup that. Oh. The Victoria that we're in. That's a real slight to um Victoria South Africa oh yeah there's a few Victoria Falls oh okay quite a few Victoria's sort of I don't like any judgment it's always standing when I went all right

So, Os, don't worry, farm is farm. Os' question is, what does porno-cracy mean? What does porno-cracy mean? And while you're all writing your answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. So you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant, and another point if you correctly guessed the answer. And hey, by the way, I'm also playing as the house.

And I've put in two of my own fake answers for each question. I get a point for each one of those that our guests choose. So each of us can score up to three points per round, which seems fair. According to a mathematician who listens though, the probability actually favors me, the house. And the house always wins though, if you do listen on a regular basis, you'll know that is nearly never the case. And that is in part because we now do triple points for the contestants in the final round, which really evens things up. Evens things up so much that it is uneven again and probably anti-house. Anyway, most of our questions come from our great Patreon supporters. And if you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com slash do go on pod which is linked in the show notes

All right, the answers are in for question number one. What does pornography mean a style of electrical system where? Electrical a style of electoral system where instead of a secret ballot a small peephole is cut in the ballot box and perverts Can pay two dollars a pop to peer in and look at them. That's option one. Option two, a catalogue of ballet dance terminology. Option three, a government run by or dominated by harlots. Option four, I recently got feedback that sometimes the answers run in together so I I'm trying out like a numbering. Spacing. Oh.

Spacing and numbering. Okay. Maybe I'll leave, yeah, I'll do spacing. Yeah, like just a pause. Was that some of the feedback that you had coming, Andy? That was going to be the next round. I'm going to have to think of something else. I've jumped ahead.

Option four, when a porn star actually cannot have sex, it's all faked using lights and lasers. Option five, the social hierarchy on an adult film set. Or option six, a little known chess term denoting a move where the eight black pawns and the eight white pawns gather together and sign a Magna Carta style document. The feudal system is overthrown and the game is henceforth rendered complete. After that the players democratically vote for

their favorite pawn category. Can I have here the second option again? Is that alright? A catalogue of ballet dance terminology. What's that doing in there of ballet dance terminology what's that doing in there do you think where's that one come from unless poor how can we get the spelling of poor no Chris B-A-L-L-E-T. So just very quickly. Ballet, ballet, ballot, voting ballot. No, somebody's done a little ballaty, ballet spelling pronunciation as well.

Or maybe it's, maybe Matt just misread the word. Ballet as ballet? It's a catalog of ballad dances. Some ballad dances terminology dances. See it makes a lot more sense now doesn't it? So you've got the peephole, the electoral system. I'm saying electoral weird aren't I? Electoral, thank you me. Electoral system with the peepholes, you've got the ballet dance terminology, government run by harlots, someone who can't have sex a porn star and it's faked using lights and lasers, hierarchy on an adult film set or the Magna Carta of chess pieces. Even though they can't have sex and it's faked by lasers how does that...

Well at least it's got the porn element is in there. Or it is democratic because you need to get other people involved. Maybe it's come from hypocrisy. And it's very hypocritical to be saying, hey, look, I'm having sex when you're not. Is that what hypocrisy means? Yeah. Hey, look at me. I've got hips too. I am just saying if I'd written the one about the people, I would have included the line

government of the people by the people. Oh yeah. Well, dictionaries don't normally get punched up, but I like how you try. Yeah and much to my chagrin, I've been submitting suggestions for years. Macquarie has sent a cease and desist to you Andy. Do you want to lock something in Saran? I think it's the hierarchy on a porn set. Okay, lock on that in for Saran. What about you Rowan? Um, I was actually leaning towards that too, but um, maybe I'll go go for the ballet dances.

That's just absolutely for no reason. If that's correct, I absolutely salute you. I take off my hat. I also have to go with the hierarchy on the pornography set. Well, I mean, it's just obviously the right answer. Down to the fact that it doesn't quite make sense where you think somebody who I Don't know hasn't made great choices in the life and has ended up on a porn set has also come up with that term Yeah, and I think you can make great choices and end up there Andy

Yeah, sure, but the hypothetical person in my scenario I had yes They're leaving us hanging there. Alright, here's who wrote the answers. A little known chess term, denoting a move where the eight black pawns and the eight white pawns gather together and sign a Magna Carta style document. That was Saran. Now... Did I have you till I added the second pawn definition?

It is funny. It is funny. I was considering it. Yes. I had it marked down as plausible until it got very, I'm going to say, Serenny. To the, because there are people, regular listeners at home, some have told me they play a secondary game while they listen and that is Witches Saran's Answer. So a point there to everyone who called that one.

Where lights and lasers fake pornstars having sex. That was Rey when- I'm shocked. I absolutely thought it was more like pornocracy. Like O-C-R-I-S-Y instead of like a democracy. Right. Oh my goodness. Which it could be, we never got this ball in the next group.

Well yeah. Although it's nearly most likely a different one. The one with the peephole ballot box that Andy tried to punch up was Andy. Well I just felt so angry at myself. When I heard you read it out I was like, why did I not put that in there? I think of it as a first draft.

Yeah. We'll come back and record it. I have an opportunity here. Just giving yourself notes. Rae, when went for a catalogue of ballet dance terminology, that was actually Oz the question writer, AKA The House. Really? And Oz says, of their motivation, they said,

my cousin's horse died this year and thought it would be nice to remember her through the quiz. She was- Is her name Ballet? Her name was Angelina Ballerina. Aw. So that is the inspiration for my answer. Beautiful tribute.

Well, I also wanted to pay tribute to Ballet. And you did. By giving her a point. Yeah, I think, hey, this episode goes out to you, Angelina Ballerina. Yeah. And isn't it interesting that you were, even though there was no clue, hint of it in the question, you were still drawn to the farm based answer. I can sniff out livestock.

Hey, farmies farmie. Farmies farmie. What's the catchphrase? That's Ray ones catchphrase. So that's it. That's right, when's catchphrase. Okay. So Saranda and Andy went for the social hierarchy on an adult film set. I'm afraid that was the house. Oh my goodness gracious.

The great dancer is a government run by or dominated by harlots. What? How can that be the actual term though? I know. What do you mean? Okay. What? Wait, so what is a harlot then?

Uh, well in other places they use the word whore. Yeah. Right. Is this a thing that happens often enough to need a term? I don't know. The version of it that Oz came across was this is according to Wikipedia, it was also known as Saculum Obscurum, aka Pornocracy aka the Rule of the Harlots. It was a period in which the history of the papacy during the first two thirds of the 10th century following the chaos after the death of Pope Formosus in 896, which saw seven or eight papal elections in as many years. I don't even know exactly how many. And the terms horocracy- How is it very 10th century word?

Yeah. There's also heterochracy, which was also used for the period, or the rule of harlots. And these are all coined by Protestant German theologians in the 19th century so long after the point I guess they've been would you call that a bit pejorative bit dismissive I'm cool with that but I think in actual fact that word can just mean you know I'm sure that harlots could run a great government yeah yeah, in the 21st century. Yeah.

Yeah. 100%. All right. I mean, is that what the sex party was all about? They're very branded now. Probably that's an offensive thing to say. Okay. I'm not completely sure, but I've just found my new piece of level accusation to level.

Thank God, because I was down one. I was just intending to, you know, owning that word as a harlot. No, I'm making it worse. Maybe me saying it's offensive is the offensive thing. I think that's it. I've learned something. I think you have. It was inside you all along, but now it's outside of you as well.

Because you said it in your mouth. Oh my god. Connor, good luck with editing around all that. Connor, the main thing is don't make us look like arseholes. Please. I should say that means the first after one round the scores are Saren, Raewyn, Andy yet to score, the house on three points. Wow! Here is question number two. This comes from two separate question writers.

The same question, but two different question writers wrote it. And from the Sunshine Coast and Lisa from Brisbane. So obviously something up in Queensland happened that alerted these two to this question. The question is, which of these is a real species of fish? So you just got to come up with a species of fish. So something in Queensland has happened. Wow. Very fishy up there. And obviously this plays into Rowan's hands. I do want to say full disclosure, I am from Queensland, so. Yeah. And obviously this plays into my own hands.

I do want to say full disclosure, I am from Queensland so. Yep. And you're an animal person as well. Famously can milk a lot of fish. You know the leaderage. This exact format of question gets me every single time, I'm sure other people have commented on this, that it's these ones specifically where your brain goes like, there's not enough information. Where are the options?

Yeah. He hasn't told me the options. It happens nearly every week. I have to go through the process and be like, that's right, I've got to write the option. It happened, I would say it happens nearly every week that someone has that thing. Even people who have been on many times. Yeah. But it just, I know that that's what, you know, we've just done one of the questions.

But it's the animal one for some reason. I it's because it's it's asked in a strange way hmm while you're writing those answers Oz also wrote I love the Dugon podcast network for the longest time but when I heard this word it became a requirement for me to get on the patreon so that I could send it in I'm a student and parent of one as well, so we don't have a ton of cash and I can't stay subscribed for long, but had to share this word with you. Thanks for everything you guys do.

Hey Oz, thank you. Thanks so much for bringing pornography to our attention. All right, the answers are in. Here's question number two. Which of these is a real species of fish? Small head sharpie. The striped toe sucker. That's option two.

I've already forgotten my new system. Yeah. I think that when there's two thes in there, it's okay, you can afford to relax a little bit. All right. Three. Common Aussie come on fish. Four, big mouth buffalo.

I said mouth with an F sound, but that's not how it's written. All right. Is this still part of the answer? This system is breaking down. Option five, dusty fat chub. Or option six, the gray fish. Can I ask, Andy, do you feel like punching any of those?

No, they're all perfect. OK, no notes. What do you think in Rowan? Look, is gray spelled G-R-E or B a double L a T it's GRE why does that help you one way or the other no but good information what's the difference between the two that yes I think I don't know. I think Americans always know. I'm just trying to in general understand which way I should be spelling it. Oh right, okay. Well that's good, that's something you can take away.

Yeah, I'm learning for like, you know, outside of this. The life. Never too old to learn. Exactly. That makes it sound like I think you're really old. And. Exactly. Yeah. That's what that makes it sound like. I think you're really old and I do. Now the chub one, we've had a chub fish on this show before, so my feeling is that it's not the chub. I don't think Matt would deep dip back into that comedy. Unless he does not have very good memory and he has simply forgotten. Because I genuinely am old. Yeah, famously, sorry, you've remembered all the systems you've put in place.

That's right. But I think the second one was sort of slightly, second or third one was sort of slightly lascivious and saucy sounding and that felt like something somebody would send into the who knew it with Matt Stewart podcast Yeah, can I have those two again, please the second and third yes, struck toe sucker That's the one common Ozzie. Come on fish. No, not that one. That's a serenade the striped toe sucker. Don't ruin the game for the people playing at home. The little cyclists. Let them play.

Oh, there it is. Well, they can lock that in at home or go their own way as well on the Saran question. Rae, when are you still? Could I just get the others one more time? Small head sharpie, sharpie toe sucker, common Aussie come on fish,

big mouth buffalo, dusty fat chub or the gray fish. I reckon the big mouth buffalo. That is another good option. Yeah, thank you. It's a really good option. Yeah, I'm picturing a- Oh no, do you have notes on it or?

No. I think I'm a simple man, but I'm picturing a big mouth buffalo. Just huge lips. Just huge lips on a buffalo. The pout on it. Oh, beautiful. Beautiful fish, beautiful fish.

What was the very first one again, sorry? Small head sharpie. Which is, it's an interesting way of putting it. You'd think, I keep wanting to say small headed sharpie. Yeah. Oh, fluoro. Maybe it's an interesting way of putting you think I keep wanting to say small headed Sharpie, but yeah. Oh Fleurot that's really Fleurot like that's yeah, that's what's giving you that the sharp the Sharpie. Yeah Sharpie has been black but you're right. I can be all sorts of color Yeah, but also Sharpie's was a like a subculture in in Melbourne in the 60s or something yeah yeah I think the Sharpies would bash the more like hmm

were they poets I don't think so no I think the mods would rip their heads off and use the stump to draw on walls. Okay. Were they drawing on the wall or were they just sort of highlighting? Just underlining. Everyone's going to picture that differently. I will lock in the, if it was sharp-headed Smalley, I would have gone with that. But I think I have to go with the toe-headed sucker. Whatever it is.

Once again, we choose the same option. Yeah, that's fair too well last time. Such is life. Alright, this is about the answers. The greyfish. That was from the beautiful mind of Andy Matthews. Yeah. Well, it was interesting.

It's been a long time. I spent a long time working on it. And then I thought, you know what? I'll do this. And there's a chance, small chance, that this will be really funny. Yeah. And it's good to know it wasn't. No.

With Matt's delivery, it was not funny. I thought it was fantastic. Thanks, man. So, we're going to do a keystroke switch E-R-A-Y backspace, backspace. EY. Just trying to get it right. Dusty fat chub, that was Ange, aka The House. The other question writer, Lisa, aka The House, wrote small head Sharpie, which I think I

was picturing like an old Sharpie just sort of, you know, with a tiny head dancing in that funny way they did. It's very visceral. We still talking about the pen? Yes. Yeah. Is that an international brand of pens, Sharpie? Sharpies?

I think people would have figured it out from context clues otherwise. I hope so. What are they talking about? Comp, common Aussie come on fish. Andy? That was Seren. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I was Seren.

It was Seren. Wow. They stand out like a... Sharpie highlighter. Andy's two for two, so... But you both went for the striped toesucker. That was Rewyn. Oh, yeah!

Rewyn was correct. Big Mouth Buffalo. So the full three points. I forgot because it's a Queensland thing. I am just wiping the floor. Yeah, I knew. I knew. I knew the Queensland fish.

Did you actually know that that was a fish? No. I just, yeah. I guess so, in my bones, I knew. Sure. Deep, deep, deep. All right, so, jeez. What a beautiful fish, though. Does it just have really big lips?

Let's have a look at it. With horns. The name doesn't say anything about lips, right? It's just that it just mentions... A mouth implies lips. No, I do not think so. What? You could have a big mouth and have the slimmest lips.

And I think famously most fish, I would say, do not have visible lips. But there are some fish that have incredible lips. Just real voluptuous. So they've got small mouths, big lips. Yeah. Oh man, it is, it's kind of looks a bit stock standard-y, but then you have a look at the lips. I mean, it's a big, beautiful fish.

No doubt about that. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's a catch of the day. That could suck some toes. Yeah. Wow. Could fit one toe at a time. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. That kind of doesn't look right.

Yeah, I agree. Not happy with that. It kind of looks't look right. Yeah, I agree. Not happy with that? It kind of looks a little bit like, um, deformed. If I can say an anus. Okay. Um, on its mouth. That's what I'm getting. Some kind of like... So what would you have named it? Where's the buffalo? I'm guessing

Buffalo the Place now. I hadn't thought of that. But yeah. Yeah. It's like buffalo wings. Confused me for a long time. But I realized recently. They weren't from a cow. Yeah. All right. Here's question number three.

This comes from Jacobi De Angel from Sacramento, California. Go Kings, if they're still a basketball team, which I don't think they are. pretty sure they went to funk years ago Anyone follow basketball which one of these is a real Batman Beyond villain so there's a cartoon series of Batman called Batman Beyond and You want to give us the name of the villain and then like a sentence or so describing that villain. Just a bit of a what their vibe is or what not. Wait what era is Batman beyond? Does everyone want to

know that or we want to keep it vague? I don't know. Keep it vague. Because I'd have to look it up. Okay that's fine. And you're not gonna make me do that, are ya? While you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more about these big old, big mouth buffaloes. But it is called a big mouth buffalo. If it's from buffalo, you wouldn't finish it with buffalo. It would be called a buffalo big mouth. You know what I mean?

So maybe I was right in the first place. It is actually a buffalo. According to Wiki, the big mouth buffalo is a fish native to North America that is in decline. It is the largest North American species of the catostomidae or sucker family. Oh my God, Rae, when your toe sucker thing, you were, you're in the ballpark there.

Dead on. And it's one of the longest lived and latest maturing freshwater fishes, capable of living for 127 years. They do reproduce infrequently. Even at a century old, they show no age related declines, but instead improvements relative to younger individuals. Oh, these sound like they could, we could really,

we could just inject them. Do you know I think it's... You were like, jeez look at those guys. Can we mush them down and inject them into us so we can have that? Wow. I'm sure someone has tried. But yeah, apparently this species has been called a biological marvel for that reason. Apparently this species has been called a biological marvel for that reason. It is commonly called the Gourd Head, Marble Head, Red Mouth Buffalo, Buffalo Fish, Bernard Buffalo, Round Head, Round Head or Brown Buffalo. The Big Mouth Buffalo is not a carp. I mean if it's not, you don't have to, why are you bringing it up then?

Nor is any other fish in the sucker family. Geez, whoever put this one together is a bit defensive. Although they share the same order, each belong to different sub-orders and are native to separate continents. The answers are in. Here is question number three. Which of these is a real Batman beyond villain?

The Splice Girls. The most popular girl group in Metropolis who come to Gotham for a show and end up splicing their DNA with animals to monstrous results. The Harlot, a mayoral candidate. The harlot ran on a ticket full of harlots with the intention to bring pornography to Gotham City. Okay, Matt, that's Seren. Wow. Derek Smallgoods.

A crime boss who worked by day as a meatpacking boss, but after an accident his fingers had to be replaced by salami sausages. Mad Stan. He's a libertarian who thinks the answer to a corrupt government is to blow it up. The Fist Sister, a creature who is formed from a sentient pile of discarded fists that cling together into the shape of a woman, formed when a bucket of lady stem cells

was accidentally dumped into the amputated hands bin at Gotham Hospital. Or finally, Leo Birdman, was the arch nemesis of Batman that grew up surrounded by ravens and responded to quests by a bird in the sky He unfortunately was defeated when he jumped off a building believing he could fly The only answer that has a rhyme in it, which I appreciate Okay, okay How often do you come across a pile of fists?

You gotta remember this is a cartoon world. Are you thinking of this as a real... As a real world. A real villain? No, this is a cartoon world. Yeah, this is from the 1960s out of the West. The amputated hands been... And just not grabbing me.

Oh. Oh. Okay. Well, yeah. Fists. Fists. Very hard to grab with a fist. But a bunch of them.

A bunch of them, yeah. Together. We're up to you, Andy, first cracker. Oh. Feels like I've gone first every time. What's boring you? Yeah, well, I think you've jumped in. You push your way in.

But this is the first time it's actually your go first. Hmm. Oh. If we're, you know, if we are doing feedback today, we're doing feedback. Yeah. All right. Well, so we know which one was Sarenz.

We know which one was mine. Leo Birdman, that sounds like the plot of that movie Birdman. He jumps off a building at the end. He put my sister Mad Stan. Mad Stan. The Splice Girls. I'm going to go with the Splice Girls. Splice Girls. All right. Locking that in for Andy. What do you think, Saran?

Uh, what can you what was the Mad Stan character? Mad Stan, a libertarian who thinks the answer to a corrupt government is to blow it up. Yeah, Mad Stan. Yeah. It doesn't sound- Sounds like Bane, actually. Yeah, it doesn't sound fantastical enough to me. It just sounds like Americans.

Just sounds like what they think. This is from the past, you know, so this might be before- Prophetic, it's actually prophetic. This might be before... You're saying things used to be better. The Unabomber and stuff like that. Oh, right. Actually, there's a bit of a history there, isn't there?

Mmm. Blowing it up. Mmm. Like, obviously, Planet of the Apes. You blew it up! Don't blew it up. Didn't you? You blew it all up!

Is that what they say? Yeah, pretty much. I know it mainly from an old Macaulay sketch on Newstopia where he parodied it as in his impersonation of Charlton Heston. It was

really funny stuff. Did you write that Andy? No. Newstopia was time. Before my time. Newstopia was before Mad as Hell. Before I got into television. Yes. Do you remember watching the first episode of Mad as Hell? Your future workplace?

We watched it on the big screen of the original Supercell series. Yeah, right. And you spent the whole time punching it up. Which is fun because that's what you ended up doing professionally. Yeah. Great. But if I had been writing it, it's good to know that I still would have been punching it up as it went to it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

As is my style. All right. So Soren's locked in. And Stan. Andy's locked in, just leaving you, Rae-Wyn. I've made a little list of the options here on my pad and Raewyn is referring to it even though I didn't give her permission to do that. Yeah you can you can buy that with half a point maybe. I like how you even wrote harlot saran. Like you knew as Matt was saying it. You'll also notice that because I've got such a cunning brain,

I even wrote down my answer on this list here. And next you wrote mine. Yeah. It was quite a significant pause before I did write down mine one, because it took me a while to remember that I should. Yeah. So if you were paying close attention,

you would be able to think. The dastardly mind of Andy Matthews. Game player. That would be your villain name. The game player. The game player. Maybe, let's go with us, small goods. Derek Smallgoods, a crime don

who by day is a meatpacking boss, but ends up with. The salami fingers. Sure you'd call him Don Salami. Is Don is bad. Leo Birdman that was Rewyn. Did you find inspiration like Andy suggested from the film? Um, no. I haven't seen it, but I appreciate Andy spoiling it all the same.

Leo Birdman? Yeah. No. Maybe. Yeah. Or maybe I did subconsciously because it was a Michael Keaton film. Michael Keaton was in that as well. But it did have a building at the end.

It did have a soundtrack that was all drums. Yeah, that's it. That's what my brain is associated with. I thought you were thinking of that movie about the drummer. Oh, Whiplash. Whiplash. Subtitle. Which sometimes happens when you jump out of a room.

So I can now understand. The Fist Sister Geez I like how you you wrote each other off straight away because that was Andy Matthews Raewyn wrote that off. Not believable. A fist bin. Are you kidding? I felt bad when when Andy said Birdman that just sounds like the movie, but then I felt better when Raewyn said yeah fist bin That's a bit far-fetched. Can I ask, how have you felt when- Salami thing is so much more believable.

Each round Andy is immediately being like, well that's Serenity. Which has been corrected, and it was again. Was it? For Harlan. Every time, oh my God. You just, why don't you just write them both? I will. I'll try and write a serenade next time, okay?

Oh, then there's two serenades to pick from. Then the one that I wrote out in real time with you to feel how you feel was Derek Smallgoods, Salami Sausage Fingers. Wow, you've really got the touch. The salami touch. Andy, you might have noticed or you may not have, but I, I realized when I read it out, I'd use the word boss twice. So second time around I changed it to Dom.

Yeah. I thought that was interesting. Because I don't have that power. Yeah. But yeah, yeah, okay. Um, so, but, uh, Rowan, uh. Fell for it. Which I appreciate.

Uh, the Splice Girls, that was Jacoby. Okay. The house. Meaning the correct answer is Mad Stan. Wow. The most boring one. It does sound like that Bane character. Yeah.

Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Mad Stan just wasn't quite as like scary enough. Maybe that Andy punched up the name. Yeah. I was wondering if it's Stan Lee is it was from their enemies at Amy. I was wondering if Stan Lee was from their enemies at Marvel. I was wondering if, I don't know, is he a libertarian who wants to blow things up?

Maybe, who knows? Because I know that I think someone did do a spoof character of him at some point, someone who really didn't like him and it was called like Disco Stan or something. Disco Stan. someone who really didn't like him. It was called like Disco Stan or something. Disco Stan. No, it was Funky Flash Man. Disco Stu. It was actually, and it was just a parody of him. They used to work together and he really hated him.

So it was just spoofing him. Wow. Yeah, spoofing. Doesn't sound that insulting. Funky Flash Man. Yeah. You're going to give me the best nickname of all time. He just.

Oh no, don't do it. Molar blades around with flares. Please stop. So that round, the house, geez, got two points somehow there. And Saran is also on the board. So now after three rounds, Andy gets the score. Saran on one point, Rae on three points, but out in front on five points is the house.

Here is question number four at the halfway mark now. This one's from Kevin Packrad from Wingdale in New York and the question is, what did Franz Kafka write in his journal on Sunday July 19th 1910? Under the dates not, you don't need to know your history or anything. It's just that specifically how he, what he wrote in his diary. And you like it in the original Hungarian? Uh, in, if you could write it in that way and then translate it for me into English, please. Okay, great. Um, what was the date again, sir?

Uh, July 19th, 1910. Okay. Sorry, this was his diary? Yeah. So I, I said journal, but you know. Dear diary. It was probably a dinky diary. Yeah.

He had a little lock on it. That's right. While you're writing your answers, here's a little more info about Mad Stan. According to Jacoby, Batman Beyond is the very 90s sequel series to the hit show Batman, the animated series. It is set in Neo Gotham in the distant year of 2019. After an aging Bruce Wayne retires from being Batman, a teenager named Terry McGinnis takes

up the mantle and puts on a badass futuristic batsuit to become Neo Gotham's next crime fighter. Terry McGinnis. Pretty fun name for new Batman. I didn't know that that had happened. Mad Stan doesn't appear much in the series series but he was immediately my favourite new rogue. According to Bruce Wayne, Stan is unstoppable when on a rant which is always triggered by something in the news. In the episode countdown we meet his pet chihuahua named Boom Boom and as if the character

wasn't already awesome enough he is voiced by Henry Rollins of Black Flag. That does sound like a fun character. I'm so sorry Jacoba that Andy really shat all over your favourite there. Hey, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. All right, we're back. The answers are in for question number four. What did Franz Kafka write in his journal on Sunday the 19th of July, 1910? Here's your first option. Slept, awoke, slept, awoke, miserable, life. That's option one.

Option two, idea. Man named Kay arrives in a village and struggles against the mysterious authorities who govern it, trying to convince him that their house is more than a building. It's their home. It's their castle. Really good. It's been seven months now.

Oh, sorry. July 19th, 1909. Line through it. 1910. It's been seven months now and I'm still forgetting it's now 1910. Sheesh. Was attacked by a group of schoolchildren today. One of them bit my finger. Had an idea for one of my crazy stories today about a guy on a podcast who pretends to be one of the other guys on a podcast but he becomes so consumed

with anxiety that he won't be able to do it justice and he just goes crazy. It's super meta. Might call it metamorphosis but make the meta in all capitals so people know it's a joke Or finally well My Well finally well Today my love got her period again Means I'm not a daddy More importantly it was so gross.

I told her to go outside and cool off. She insisted it's part of her life cycle and I should think of it like metamorphosizing into a beautiful butterfly. I didn't think she deserved to eat at the table. I think I'll leave her tomorrow. I thought we started with the grimace one, which is about miserable life, but it got grimmer. All right, so I think we are back to Saran.

Okay. And I didn't number those, so let me number them this time. Number one, slept awoke, slept awoke, miserable life. Number two, it's their home, it's their castle. Number three, it's been seven months and I'm still forgetting it's now 1910. Sheesh. Number four was attacked by a group of schoolchildren today. One of them bit my finger.

Number five metamorphosis, meto in all caps or six, my love got her period today. Again. Um, okay. I think that, uh that the number five meta in all caps was that also written in Hungarian? Initially, yes. You weren't game enough to read it out. The Hungarian? No, no, I haven't read any.

You'll translate. Yeah, translate them all. I think maybe it's the... Let's go slept awake, slept awake. Okay. Welcome back to Seren, what do you think, Rowan? Wait, what was the second one? Second one. Man's home is his castle, a man named Kay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sorry, Matt, I'll let you answer the question. No, you're keeping fantastic notes You could do this podcast. You're welcome to refer to them for one point. Okay That would get you on the board Yeah, I guess I also think it's the slept Slept awake one. Alright. You know? Locking in for Rowan.

What do you reckon Andy? Um, well the 1910 sheesh one, that's Serena. The correct answer is attacked by a group of school children. Okay, locking that in for Andy. Here's who wrote the answers. Well, today my love got her period again. That was Rowan. No.

Not brave enough to get that one. It's very funny. In the break, which maybe we played at the end in the outtakes at the end, you told us all, I think this one's gonna blow you away. It was really good. And it did. The one that Andy already said was his was his about matter in all caps.

I tried, I tried. I thought, you know, what does Sorren do? He likes to refer to things that have happened on the podcast. I mean, that fell in your lap. Yeah. The metamorphosis. Yeah. But it didn't get many laughs, so Saren would have made it funnier. The one that you said was Saren's with sheesh at the end, that was Saren. Imagine. He also wrote it. He did write it in Hungarian as well.

Julius. I mean, I don't know how to pronounce the numbers. Julius 19, 1909, cross out 1910. numbers. Julius191909, cross out 1910. Mar7 Honjpja, EsmegMindig, Efel, Jitam, Hoegi, Most1910, sheesh. I think Hungarians listening will agree with that. 50% of your listeners are Hungarian. Yeah, that's right. And they love, the other half of salami The I think Hungarian is famously the hardest language all right to to learn That didn't feel Read what it looked like and I think yeah, I think that's just because you make reading English look so

Accusation level. Man named Kay arriving in the village, that was the house. So does that mean the only one left is the correct answer? Slept awoke, slept awoke. Oh no, sorry. I should say, when Andy went for, that was Kevin. Taken by a group of children today. Kevin, aka the house, wrote that one. Meaning, Saren and Raiwen are correct.

Sleep awoke, sleep, slept awoke, miserable, full stop, life, full stop. What a character, old Franz was. Yeah. So a point to Saren, a point to Raiwen, and a point to the house. And he's still on zero. And he's still on zero.

This is really good. How did he do it? You know what? I made a resolution today that I was gonna come on and a point to the house. And he's still on zero. Still on zero. This is really good. How does he do it? You know what? I made a resolution today that I was going to come on and try really hard to win. How sad and pathetic is that? Did we? I think you've forgotten though.

You haven't played in that way, have you? No, I'm trying my hardest. Don't worry. You've got a couple points in the Seren game though. Oh yeah. I'm leading the Seren game. I think he's on a hot screen. He's on maximum points.

Two questions left though and the final round is worth triple points. You can score up to nine points if you really nail that final round. But here's question number five. How many is it also triple Seren points? Oh, could be in that other game. But I think he's got an unassailable lead in that. No, he can't. Mainly because you're not playing. No. But maybe I should, maybe I should get on board if we could.

Imagine if we beat him. I'd like to point out, I haven't been lodging answers, but I also would have got them all right. Yes, that's true. For the Guessing Serenga. Question five comes from Kira from Gisborne in Victoria and the question is, what was the marketing slogan for the city of Regina, Saskatchewan in 2023? What was the marketing slogan for Regina, Saskatchewan in 2023?

While you're writing your answers, here's some more info about Kafka. This is according to Kevin, who writes, I don't really have anything to add, except that my fake answer about the school children is inspired by a scene in the book, The Brothers Karamazov written by Dostoevsky. I just thought that this entry was funny

and also very real at the same time. I think, because the reason I chose it and I was so confident that was the right one was that it just rang some kind of bell in my mind. And I'm'm sure I must have not that I've read any Dostoyevsky But I must have heard that being referred to gotcha somewhere. I was like that sounds very Kevin you are your plan Mmm, but I think that means Kevin's been reading his journals because he's just like this bit stood out to me. Hmm What a depressing

read that sounds like. This is the full entry in English. Sunday 19, 19th of July, slept, awoke, slept, awoke, miserable life. When I think about it, I must say that my education has done me great harm in some respects. I was not, as a matter of fact, educated in any out-of-the-way place, in a ruin, say, in the mountains, something against which in fact I could not have brought myself to say a word of reproach. In spite of the risk of all my former teachers not understanding this, I should prefer most of all to have been such a little dweller in the ruins, burnt by the sun which would have shone for me there on the tepid ivy between the remains on every side. Even though I might have been weak at

first under the pressure of my good qualities, which would have grown tall in me with the might of weeds." I love it. Isn't it incredible that you're just writing your journal and he specifically said he wanted all his notes and journals burned when he died. And then his friend who was supposed to do it didn't do it. And that's why we have access to all these papers and stuff. But like to just be writing in your own journal, you don't expect anyone to read and just to make it so poetic and just like,

oh, can't help himself. You can't help himself. God, I love it. There's so much energy and directness to it. Didn't understand himself. Incredible, yeah, can't help himself. God, I love it. There's so much energy and directness to it. Didn't understand a word of what he was trying to say. Yeah. But how about that energy and directness? Oh, I thought it was fantastic energy.

Beautiful energy. That was translated from the German by Joseph Krash. Oh. So does that mean? He wrote it in German. Well, according to that website anyway, maybe they've translated it from the wrong language and it's given an entirely different meaning.

Oh, you thought that was German? That was Hungarian, mate. It was actually a really sunny outlook. Yeah. It was all about a podcast, a guy on a podcast. So the answers are in. Here's question number five. What was the marketing slogan for the city of Regina, Saskatchewan, in 2023?

Time to get a lot of Regina. Oh, behave, groovy baby. I think that's how that... I mean, you know, you can hit ex-Semish remarks in a lot of different ways. I did it in a way that was almost like trailing off, but... Oh, behave, groovy, baby Probably out maybe it was meant to be read. I show us your Regina Regina we Saskatchewan to you here

So flat you can watch your dog run away for three days Come to Regina it'll inspire ya. Wow. That's my favourite so far. And the only one you're writing down. Or Regina, come for the memories. Stay for some more memories. That's a really good one actually.

So you got time to get a lot of Regina. Oh behave, groovy baby. Show us your Regina. Regina, we Saskatchewancha here. So flat you can watch your dog run away for three days. Not done the number thing. Or number five. Come to Regina, it'll inspire.

Or number six. Saw a number in that answer. I forgot about the concept. Number six, Regina, number in that answer. I forgot about the concept. Number six, Regina, come for the memories. Stay for some more memories. OK, so the Saskatchewan she here, that's Sirens. The show is your Regina, I believe. Oh, sorry, I'm not allowed to go first, am I?

I mean, you can. You plow through. It is Raewyn's turn. I intend to be more respectful. Mm. Raewyn. OK, cut me off. No, go ahead.

I really think that the most plausible one is probably absurdly the groovy baby. Because my thought process there is isn't he, he's Canadian. So they are leaning in. Is he from there? Yeah. Mark Myers. No, but like from that town or whatever. Well maybe. Regina's just got you on.

If he's Canadian then he could be from anywhere. Yeah, that's true. No one but like from that town or whatever. Well, maybe. Regina's just got to be. If he's Canadian, then he could be from anywhere. Yeah, that's true. No one's been more specific than that. Is it a quote from the actual Regina baby? A lot of Regina, there's a character called A Lotta Fagina, who I think actually says, as Raewyn could have then, you dare go before me, Andy. And then Andy would say, sorry baby baby, you know, is your turn.

So you dare break wind before me. Sorry, baby. I think I'm nailing it. Sorry, baby. Such a good joke. I love that. Or they inspire. Come to Regina. It'll inspire you.

Or because it wouldn't be the memories. It's not inspire, it's re-inspire. Come to Regina, it'll re-inspire. Really? Yeah. I was blending the words together, which is another thing that you're probably about to pull me up on. Sure. Come to Regina, it'll re-inspire. Maybe that's syrens. Wow. Wow. It's a very syrenny round. Work for the difference between Rhee and Inspire.

One more option here. Come to Regina, et al, Surren Inspire. You've read that wrong as well. Surely that's supposed to be Surren Inspire. I'm just here to butcher all your hard work. So where are you leaning, Rae W leaning? Yeah, weirdly the groovy baby. Groovy baby. Maybe he's from Regina.

You know, I think we all are. And, well, not all of us, but you know, trace most of us back to our mother's Regina. Andy. It is now your turn. Thank you. I think the answer is show us your regina. Show us your regina. I realized that that's what it's asking us to like, but I think that's why this has been

submitted. But then it says, who behave? No, no, no, no, no, no. Show us your regina. The time to get a lot of regina is the first one. But then the second one is called show us your regina. So I think that is just show us your regina. I of Regina is the first one. Yeah. But then the second one is called show us your Regina. So I think that is just show us your Regina. I reckon that's the correct one.

There was no other. It was just show us your Regina. Hmm. Oh, okay. Yeah, show us your Regina. That sounds less of a slogan and more of a challenge from a town called Regina. Like, hey, we're Regina. Yeah, it should be, let us show you our Regina.

Yeah. Maybe that's a good argument for it to not be that. Come inside our Regina. Yeah, it should be, let us show you our Regina. Maybe that's a good argument for it to not be that. Come inside our Regina. But maybe it's like, ask not what your country should be. That was definitely on the whiteboard. That was definitely on the whiteboard though. You know that was. Someone is like, okay.

Okay, we're gonna, what do they say? We're gonna, we're gonna park that one. We're gonna park that one, We're going to park that one. Yeah, we'll park that one. I'll put it up there. We'll park it. It's on the board. Yeah.

So, we've just got you left, Sarah. Okay. I also was leaning towards Show Us Your Regina, but then it is... Yeah, it seems strange for her. But maybe the campaign is like, we want you to send in photos or something. I think it's I agree that it has to be have been submitted as a question to some. I'm going to go with number three. The Saskatchewan chew here.

Wait, that's but that's on the chores. Yeah. See, this is how you've stuffed me up. If you'd read that other one correctly, it'll re-inspire. I reckon that's actually. OK. For a giant, it'll re-inspire. I reckon that's actually- Okay. For a giant, it'll re-inspire. Well, up until this point of the game, when Andy's correctly guessed my things, I thought it was just because my answers were too obvious.

But now it's like, I realise he has such low estimation of my- To write slogans. So, are you locking in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan, yeah. All right, here's who wrote the answers. Regina, come for the memories. Stay for some more memories. That was Soran.

You're kidding. That's so good, Soran. Thank you. He wrote it out because he straight away, Soran, he said, that's actually really good. He never put your name near it. Uh, come to Regina. It'll re-inspire you.

That was Rayward. We really got called the crossfire there. Yeah. Couple little back-hander. Rayward inspire you. I was so curious though, as soon as you heard re-inspire, you're like, oh no, definitely not that. Cause first, you were like, it'll inspire.

Okay, that's good. But then at re-inspire, there's something about that that is so Sarenz. By the way, me choosing one and saying it's Sarenz is a great compliment. He has a very nuanced way of almost completely missing the obvious joke. That is such a higher level of comedy.

He knows what he's doing. He does, he thinks of the obvious joke. That's why he's often writing for a while. That's right. He only submits his fifth. Yeah. It's like, you know, you've got to fire a lot more bullets to miss the target every time

and just do a perfect outlander line of a target on the wall. So flat you can watch your dog run away for three days. That was Kyra, aka the house. Akira, sorry Kyra. Even they even wrote like Kyra Knightley in the form and I said, I don't need a note like that. Iley in the form. And I said, I don't need a note like that. I did need that note. Uh, then we had Regina.

We Saskatchewancha here. I'm afraid, Seren, that was the how. Really? But that was a beautiful compliment from Andy saying it was Serenesque. Time to get a lot of Regina. Oh, behave, groovy baby. Right, time to get a lot of Regina. Oh, behave groovy baby. Rae went for that, that was Andy.

Meaning that show is Regina. Oh my God. Andy gets two points. Andy gets two points. Two points. You got the correct answer and Rae won Pick Jaws. This is crazy. Did you write that because he is Canadian

and you're like, ah. Or did you just stumble upon that? Someone will pick that vague memory. I stumbled upon it. Oh. Because I was like just 2023, I was trying to think of a reference that wasn't just doing this sounds like the word vagina. And then I very cleverly made it the word vagina, but in a different context.

Remembered the- That refers back to the first context. And then somehow- The movie that was famous in 2023, Austin Powers. I was also like, why would this be noteworthy to do an Austin Powers reference in 2023? But yeah, unless they got him to do it,

he was part of the campaign, I guess. Yeah. Which I think in your world. Maybe he's from, let's look it up. All right, where is he from? Let's roll back the tape. Can I get a listen of the movie? Is he from Rajendra?

He's definitely not gonna be from it up. All right, where is he from? Cause you know, Canadian listeners are gonna be curious about it. He's probably not gonna be from there. Imagine, can you imagine? Born in Toronto, Scarborough. All right, we're up to the final question. This one, Andy probably wants me to do a quick score check though actually. On two points in equal third place, it's Andy and Seren. Second place on four points, it's Rowan. but out in front on seven points it's the house

it is Sarennybodies it's Sarennybodies game so or as Matt would say it's Sarennybodies laughter yeah if you think so this is the obvious joke laughter This is the obvious joke. What am I doing? Laughter Alright, final question comes from Jess Green from Geelong

and the question is What is the plot of the 1975 film A Fist Full of Feathers? What is the plot of the 1975 film A Fist Full of Feathers? While you're writing your answers, I'll let the listeners know a bit more about Regina. This is according to Kyra. Regina, the capital city of the province Saskatchewan, is in the middle of the country, surrounded by wheat

fields for as far as you can see and that's the unfortunate name that rhymes with vagina. Similar to the see you in the NT campaign, tourism regina wanted to make a bold statement that caught attention and it did, catching international news for its sexualised slogan. Locals did not love the offensive and inappropriate slogans, they're in inverted commas offensive and offensive inappropriate but they did catch the attention of many. Is that really a bad thing to have a laugh at yourself? Oh beautifully asked question there Kira. And Kira? Is Kira from Canada? No, Kira's from Gisborne in Victoria. That's how that really put Regina on the map. Oh my god, the answers are in.

Can you believe it? It all comes down to this. And the question is, what is the plot to the 1975 film Fistful of Feathers? An unnamed chicken arrives in the little town of San Miguel, New Mexico. Esposito, the town's innkeeper, tells the chicken about a feud between the two smuggler families trying to gain control of the town. The Ingams and the Staggles. To make money, the chicken tries to play these two families off against each other. When they catch wind of his plan, the chicken must go into hiding and adopt a disguise, entrusting his feathers to a mysterious fist. A pile of fists?

With a fist sister? She's back? Oh yeah. So that's option one. I hated that. Option two. University of South Carolina Gamecocks fight their way through the season. Will they make it all the way to the Super Bowl? Will they be crowned the champions? Will they be

crowned the Supercocks? Then you've got option 3. The origin story of Captain Feathersword told through a bold film noir reimagining of everything we thought we knew about the iconic Wiggles character. It follows the captain through a turbulent childhood and the heartache of several love interests before committing his life to the sea. It was originally submitted as a short film by the graduating class of a whopper, but received a wider release and a cult following.

I can't believe how long that one went on when the joke was really over. It was a great joke, but yeah. Option four, Cowboy Seth Calhoun, a Western clothing wearing, hotshot from the US played by Ross Hagan, gets mixed up in the cockfighting world.

Calhoun teams up with Friendly, a rooster that performs in cockfights, and has a reputation that precedes him. But will Calhoun's cock come out on top? That's option 4, then you're at option 5. Down in his luck, Dave Walters is bitten by a spider in his small New York City apartment. To his surprise, the spider has given him some special bedroom enhancements, which leads him into the adult entertainment industry. Or finally, birdwatcher Liffany Gunk meets the love of her life while spotting egrets at the local sewage farm wetlands she soon she has egrets of her own after trying to

Win his affection by lying about having spotted the supposedly extinct marvelous tit Desperate she attempts to cover for a mistake by manufacturing false tits Killing and gluing together other birds and puppeteering them in the local woods, weekend at Bernie's style. Just when it seems the jig is up, it's revealed her beloved is himself a Frankenstein-style mad scientist who wants to build a birdman hybrid. In a touching final scene, they simultaneously perform surgery on each other,

fusing their bodies with a duck and a penguin and the film closes with them taking flight to migrate away together. Beautiful tail. Yeah, that one could have been longer in my opinion. So you got the unnamed chicken arriving in San Miguel, New Mexico. You got the team, the University of South Carolina team with the feathers fly as they try to make it to the Super Bowl. You've got Captain Feather Sword, Origin's story.

You've got the cowboy, Seth Calhoun, who's a cockfighter. You've got the Dave Walters bitten by a spider. Gives him a... So interesting! What's that got to do with the Fistful of Feathers? A spider? I don't know. I'm sure there's subtext in there that the spider's name is Feathery Jones. Or finally... The spider's has ballet. Or finally, Liffany Gunk, who ends up flying away

with the Duck Penguin hybrid with egrets of their own. Andy, I think it's your go first here. And I know you do go first every time. Oh, I'd rather not. I'll step back. I'd like to step back if that's okay. I feel like, oh, I'm tossing up between four, I think.

But I can't, I wish I could, but I can't fully discount the origin of Captain Feathersword. I would feel so good to be able to write that off. Well yeah, you were saying you wanted, you thought it could have stopped earlier, but I think it really gets more believable as it goes along.

Yeah, that's the problem I think. They really fleshed it out. This is crazy, I'm to say the adult film. Okay. Uh, welcome that in for Andy. Dave Walters. I just, I just, cause I don't know why it would exist otherwise. I mean, it would make sense if it's a, but yeah, fistful is that the, cause

there's a film, the Clint Eastwood film, A Fistful of Dollars. Yeah. So like an adult film might try to play on that. On the fist. But then you think that they would, yeah. They keep the plot fairly similar. It would be called like A Fistful of Fists or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, An Assful of Fists.

I'm picturing like the film, maybe, you know, Feathers, Boudoir, like a lot of bad stuff in the 70s was probably made up of feathers, the pillows, the mattresses or something. I don't know. I'd argue that a- A little feathery bow. A feather full of fists. An arse full of fists goes beyond what any poor person would dare to call something. I think it is.

I think we could look it up and there's probably no call that. But yeah, the first one, the unnamed chicken, that's like more of a close, uh, fistful of dollars parody. Is it? An unnamed chicken. He's the unnamed cowboy. I completely forgot about that element that there could be a parody component. You crossed it off. It's crying out for it, isn't it?

Well, it's because it's the Ingham's and the Steggles. I mean, I think the fact that they're named after two Australian chicken brands. It could have been a short film from Whopper. OK, I'm going to say that first one is Saren. I think I'm gonna lock in the Whopper, the Captain Feathersword, because I feel like a Whopper like it might be the kind of thing that a funny sketch idea grew out of a short film and then they decided to. That's incredible I can't believe how this is playing out. Yeah you did wait, Andy went for the adult.

Did you lock one in? Yeah, yeah. I can't believe what I chose. The spider. And I certainly can't believe what you chose. Well, wait till you hear what I'm gonna... Umm... the... Maybe the second one? What was that? Game... Gamecocks. The team, the cocks? Yeah, the university. Oh, the university with the cocks.

Will they go to the Super Bowl? Super Bowl is... Hmm. I don't know if I want to sway or not, but the university teams don't play in the Super Bowl. You sure you know it? I don't know if I want to sway. Look deep in your heart. You can't... Well I'll let you know that you can do whatever you like with that information. Ummm... It's possible that I quickly put that in because one of you wrote one exactly the same as me.

And I put that in without realising it made no sense. Possibly. That may be one of the scenarios that played out here today. What is the other one that you could have written that would be exactly the same? I mean, Matt probably did. It's the Ingham's and Steggles. He's written Ingham's and Steggles.

You've come, oh no, he didn't know what they were though. That was a shock to him when I told him. Because he's a vegetarian, he wouldn't be eating. Of course. Well didn't know what they were, though. That was a shock to him when I told him because he's a vegetarian. He wouldn't be eating. Of course. Well, I know. I know. Like the the rooster.

He's a vegetarian. He doesn't even read about animals. I was more surprised that they were specifically Australian brands. I just assumed they were multinational chicken farms corporations. Yeah. Bestride the earth like a philosophical. goals Could be Italian it's beautiful. Yeah It all comes down to this I feel like I've got to change my option Like they all sound crazy

Oh my god. Like they all sound crazy. It can't be the cock fighting one. You wouldn't depict that on screen. It'd be so upsetting. And then who, but the only other one is like maybe the number six or yeah, but who would call them Liffening? Remember, I think my answer to both those questions is this was the 1970s. Different time, different time.

1970s, you could get away with a lot more. Gunk, cockfighting. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiaaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaia some sort of farmy kind of... They're all animals. They're all, the only one that isn't is the devil's spider. The arse full of fish. And even that's quite a farmy thing when you think about the vet free process. Oh yeah, okay. Are you locking that in, Rowan? Yeah, sure.

And Andy, you're sticking or? Yeah, I'm sticking Yeah I'm sticking. Alright. Here's who wrote the answers. The unnamed chicken arrives in the little town of San Miguel, New Mexico. That was Saran. And that is the one that I also wrote. A fistful of dollars spoof. I just made a cartoon that was a dog.

Okay. Not a chicken. The chickens were the you know, but. Not a chicken. Not a chicken. The chickens were the ones that were being fought by the two, anyway. I am. Both very, how do we counter that answer? I'm trying to, what was that process? It has such an abrupt ending

is cause I started reading the plot on Wikipedia for a fistful of dollars and it goes on and on. Yes, and I think that you- It's like a three hour film. So you- I had to- Yes. I had to pivot quickly. A fist full of feathers, it's gonna be the Feather Sword. It's gonna be Feather Sword.

It's a fist full of feathers, he's holding the feathers in his fist. That's what it's gonna be, oh my God. Oh my God. The University of South Carolina football team that went all the way to the Super Bowl, that was the house, in particular the question rider, Jess. I almost can't bear it.

It's gonna be the feather sword one. Uh. Andy went for the porn one. Oh no, that's the feather sword. Okay, the house. Birdwatcher Liffany Gunk ends up getting splashed together. And I think maybe reference is nearly every fake answer

from today's episode. Is that what you you're going for Andy? Not at all. That was all sleeping in subconsciously. You referenced a bunch of stuff from the episode. Did I? I thought that was a conscious thing. No I well I unconsciously frankensteined my answer obviously. Because there was there was an ant like the splice girls. Oh, yeah, I see with the animals Imagine if I was smart enough to do that. It was a very Fake bird like a mmm. Yeah, there's so much detail And then Birdman hybrid. Yeah, that was write one of my answers. So Andy gets three points because Rowan guessed that. Oh man. Fistful of Feathers. Saram went for that one about

Captain Feathersaw but that was Rowan. Oh, what a name Rowan. Beautiful. That was incredible. But when Matt kept saying, because I did not hear the 1975 part, and I was like, oh crap. I forgot that! I forgot that! That is way before! Wow, yes. Wow, wow, wow! We all missed that.

Yes. So, that means no one got the correct answer. It was about cowboy Seth Calhoun, who was a cockfighter. And that's why, and I pivoted very late because I initially the question was written and I'm so glad I got away with it. I thought you were all gonna see through it because the question was that film had two names.

Initially it was called Super Cock, which is why that football team was trying to win this big crown the Supercock and hence also the I don't feel my cover leaf I still chose it Oh my god I've stuffed this up am I going to have to write another question we're going to have to redo it but somehow we got away with it Well I can't believe I still went for that There's no way this could be right. I have to choose it. What an idiot.

So let me add up the scores. Before I do that, there's not enough data on Rotten Tomatoes. It's such a small film that Rotten Tomatoes doesn't even have any critic or audience numbers. But I did find one review that said, Super cock is a comedic outing concerning the sport of cockfighting with a humorous script that makes as many sexual innuendos as you can imagine, to the point of it becoming a one-note joke that occasionally draws guffaws, smiles, and even a few rolling eyes. The dialogue is insipid as evidenced by the airport scene as Seth walks through customs and asks if he has anything else to declare he responds, just my cock. Apparently even people in this scene sort of run like this.

Jess the question writer wrote, the original title was Super Cock and it was rather controversial so the film has been released under several different names the most notable being A Fistful of Feathers despite the ridiculous film star Nancy Kwan was nominated for the 1961 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Drama for The World of Suzy Wong and won the most promising newcomer not for this film but she went on to something else. Okay. Final scores! Jeez, things got interesting at the end there. Saren on two points in fourth place. In third place on five points, it's Andy.

In second place on seven points is Raywood, but Antoine on eight points, it's the Heads. Oh! Andy delivered the Heads to win by getting that adult film after. What was I? I feel as devastated as I did when I lost $50,000 on Millionaire Hot Seat.

No, this should hurt more. Did you, every question, we're like, well, that's not a Siren answer. Yeah. Eddie wouldn't give me any points for guessing the Saran. He asked me to actually stop doing it. And you said, I can't. All right.

Well, before we go and we head over to the outtakes, which I think this episode might go for half an hour. But, Saran, where can people find you? Oh, Melbourne Fringe. When is this coming out? I'll be at the Melbourne Fringe 15th, October to the 20th. This will be out in October. Yeah. Beautiful.

Provincial Hotel in Fitzroy. If you're in Melbourne, please come down. What about you, Rowan? Uh, Rowan? I met Saran and Rowan together. What is your name? Rowan. And you, Rowan?

How about you Andy? I do the Two in the Think Tank podcast with Alastair Trombley-Berchel where there are no winners. And that comes out basically weekly and it is where you and Al, two of the greatest comedy minds in the world, come up with five sketch ideas each episode. That was beautifully put, Matt.

And I'd like to take back all the things I said about you and your podcasting ability on this episode. Thank you. It's got a huge back catalogue. I've been on a few episodes, but there's also the what a semi regular. What is it? Every hundred episodes, we do an episode which they're getting progressively longer because we try and come up with that number of sketch ideas. So for the 100th episode, we come with 100 recently. Well, almost a year ago now did the 400th episode where we came up with 400 sketch ideas and 18 hours about 22

hours and it's all is that still all up on YouTube you can watch it on YouTube and there's awesome relive the horror like James and Mesa from the weekly planet and a bunch of other people were surrounding on that yeah did you take a break no well It's continuous. So you just eat? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you go to the toilet? On pod?

I popped out of the room for that. But one of you was always on screen. That's right. Wow. The little peek behind the curtain. Yes, yes. Thanks so much for joining us. I do go to the toilet behind the curtain.

Thanks so much everyone for listening. Give us a 5 star review, why not. Tell your friends if you think you know anyone who might enjoy it. And cheers to Trini and to the rest of the show.

Cheers to tuning in to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart. Now that you know it, I've been Matt Stewart. Goodbye! Music

Sign up on any level via Patreon.com Do go on Pod Which is linked in the show notes. I just an update on my process. I haven't had a single idea. I was hearing some typing and I was like oh no. Not a single word has entered my brain. Well that's fine this will all be edited out I'm sure. Connor will look after you in the edit make make it look like you've, um, the words have flowed. Uh, like the Victoria falls.

What the f***ing hell? The loud sound of the keys from my iPad as I type is really underlining the painful nature of this process for me. This would be a great TikTok clip. This year. I don't think this is great. I won't even have to edit it straight up. I've deleted everything I've written so far. This is going to be a nightmare for everyone.

Sorry. All right. This is fantastic. OK. wow. Wow, wow, wow. I feel so good. I love this feeling of goodness that's in my body. That's perfect. That's what we want to hear. By the way, Matt, as an avid listener of the podcast, don't think I didn't notice that you have now adopted as a vocal

tick the Alexi Toleopolis style. Ooh. Wow, wow, wow. Three wow's, triple wow. I just did one then. And caught myself in the moment and was transported back to when I heard you do that on a very recent episode of the podcast. And I thought, I hope Alexi knows.

Oh, Alexi also is a big listener. So I bet he spotted it mate Do we sure you didn't get it from me? Pretty sure well Big that's a big accusation of you know, and you don't know about those things usually until someone tells you yeah So I'm sure I'll notice it there. Well, that's the first of many accusations. I'm gonna be throwing around on today's podcast I've got them lined up and basically every round I'm gonna level a new accusation at you. He's got at least seven. This will be fascinating to watch.

You feeling this Simon? I do several decoys taps every time now in case anybody's counting my keystrokes and then trying to Correlate that with the length of the answers. Hmm. Yeah, very clever. Well, that's why you have you Are you undefeated on this show? Maybe I think that's very unlikely. Okay. Yeah, have you ever won on this? Simply don't know Where you just replying to an email or something. Doing other business. I'm a busy man. Yeah, famously so. Every now and then I like to play like the guests. I'm going to write one in real time here. I like to play like the guests. I'm gonna write one in real time here.

See what it's like on the other side. See what it's like. For the every man. There's an extra word in mind, Matt. Would you like me to edit it and resend it? Or would you? Will it be clear which one it is? To most people it would be but I'll just do it. Hang on I'll just resend.

And you say you listen to the show? I do yeah I have butchered a couple in the past. Look at everybody staring at their phones. Nobody talks anymore. It's this generation, you know, we used to communicate. That is, it is fun Andy and I hope that they, next time you're struggling to write an answer, they also comment on you. Well I'm using my iPad so it's a completely different thing. Yeah, you are more, that is more the kind of technology that is used by people who say stuff like that you're

taking photos of people on their phones on your iPad yeah wouldn't happen in my day I'm really excited for this next round. I think it's going to be great. Oh my gosh. I think it's a great format of question. The because it's they're silly anyway, and it's just fun. Just a bit of a flight of fancy. I think I love the Star Wars character ones or the comic book character one. I think they can be really fun.

Well, let's find out though, if it is in this case. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. Grey fish. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure.

I'm sure. You've been looking at my screens. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure.

I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I was thinking about my fist sister character and I think maybe what would make it more

you know acceptable and more plausible would be what if there was like somebody who worked in the morgue and they were collecting cutting the hands off all of the corpses and like keeping them in their house or something like that and then they Keeping their hands Yeah because they're a psycho right Yeah But then they somehow They start to smell oh well they've preserved them in formaldehyde or something like that hmm i don't know

it's just not believable it would decay it would rot yeah well well not if not if they stop it from doing it in a freezer yeah maybe yeah in the freezer okay you're open to that frozen hands yeah but then they then they'd be all they'd be all sort of mushy when they defrost. Hmm. I'll work on it. I'll keep working on it. He could use them to like slap someone. They'd be a limp.

They'd be great for slapping. They'd be such good slapping hands. Yeah. You could start so many duels. I mean, if you're a creature made entirely out of hands, maybe every everything, all you can do is slap. Yeah. Maybe that's what drives them mad.

Let me just double check. I've got that pronunciation right. I think that's pretty good. Regina. But that- Does the pronunciation include all that microphone noise? Yeah, I didn't trust it as much because because of that noise, I'm gonna try another one.

I wanna be the guy that goes, yeah this guy. How do you pronounce the name of the capital city of the Saskatchewan province of Canada. Do not say Regina, but rather Regina. Regina, the capital of the Saskatchewan. Regina. Regina. I love how that guy talks. Could listen to him all day long. Did it does that mean I said it wrong?

No, you did perfect. Great. Wrote in German made love like a Hungarian. That's what they say. That is. Yeah, I've heard that. That's the Kafka way. Where was does he have a connection to Prague? I feel like I saw a statue of him in Prague.

I saw a statue of him in Prague as well. It was like a, and it was like a move, it had moving parts and stuff maybe, am I making that up? Yeah, yeah. It's a vague memory. Maybe he was carrying a little briefcase or a typewriter or a trumpet. Yeah, something, a knickknack of some sort.

Yeah, on some very very narrow street I believe. Yeah this is ringing some vague bells. I remember the skies being so blue. Was that your ex- were we there together? I remember your eyes being so blue. Yeah that's yeah that's the day. Yeah, that's the day. Saran's still, I think you've gotten his head to be honest, Andy. Yeah. So. But at home listening,

do you pick out the Saran answers then as well or do you need to be in the room with him to really feel it? I think I could do it even if I wasn't listening to the podcast. Oh! You should be all written down on a list. You go to Sarenne. No, no, no, no, no. I could be alone in the middle of a field and a chill would pass through my body. You could have never met Sarenne before.

I turn to face the east. I sniff the wind. Saren just sent off his answer. I say. Alright. On the other side of the field, the man holding the gun says, Goodbye, Andy. And you smile.

And I smile. Now, can I double check? Because I've got my own head about this. Reginald? Reginald, yeah. Smile. And I smiled. Now, can I double check? Because I've got my own head about this. Regina? Regina, yeah. Yeah, okay. I just want to say what a good time I'm having.

Oh, that's great. I'm glad. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sad for it to come to a close. Me too. Let's do another episode straight after. Yeah, we really work well together. Yeah, I think too. Let's do another episode straight after. Yeah, we really work well together. Yeah, I think so.

Maybe we should start our own podcast. That'd be so good. That's very nice. Wanna record it right now? Yeah. It's just me and you giving answers and Andy guessing. And guessing us which one is.

Guessing us. I don't know, do you think you've nutted out my style as well? Absolutely not. Yeah. You're completely an enigma. I don't know, do you think you've, you've nutted out my style as well? Absolutely not. You're completely an enigma. It seemed farming related at the start. Yeah.

You did, you moved away from, just written down the word farm for some reason. Just circle back to that one. How to. What a good word. I don't know about that one. How to. What a good word. Farm is funny. That's not it. That's right. Well, is, is farm as good?

Don't you remember your catchphrase? Is farm as good? Farm as good. Farm as good. Farm as good. Farm as good. Farm as good. Farm as good.

Farm as good. Farm as good. Farm as good.
