Welcome to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers.
I'm the titular Matt Stewart and our first contestant this week is host of the Sci Guys podcast.
It's Corey Will.
Hello, great to be here. Thank you for having me.
Thanks for being here. Our second contestant is host of the Sci Guys podcast.
It's Dave Warnocki.
Don't look at me.
I'm so shy.
Thanks so much for joining us, Dave and Corey.
It took me a while to book you, Dave.
Yeah, that's right.
Went through your agent.
A real prick.
Corey, thanks for joining us.
Thank you for having me.
You're our closest thing to a local guest here.
Yeah, I'm from Scotland, live in London,
travelled up there, down here.
I feel like this is the halfway point
between those two things.
That's an average, right?
Yeah.
Right?
Fantastic.
Do you hate Scotland or London more in Leeds?
Good answer, yeah.
For first-time listeners who might be wondering what this show is all about and how it works,
well, it's pretty simple, really.
I ask a relatively obscure trivia question, and our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer.
I then read their answers, as well as the real one, and I have to guess which one is correct.
Does that make sense?
Doesn't really matter if it doesn't.
All right, are we ready to play?
So ready.
So very ready.
The first question comes from listener David Kingfisher
from Norwich in the UK.
Are you in tonight, David?
Where's Norwich?
Is that near here?
Don't look at me.
I don't know where Norwich is.
North, I think No
No?
East?
South, it's south I think
It's about four hours
It's about four hours south
We drove four hours south today
Yeah
Shouldn't we be in Norwich then?
Yeah
The question is
What is the definition of the word nudiestertion?
nudiestertion nudiestertion nudiestertion. While they're writing their
answers I'll explain how the scoring works you get one point if your fake
answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point if you
correctly guess the answer. By the way, I'm also playing as the house.
Boo!
Absolutely, Lee's correct.
Correct.
So I put in two of my own fake answers for each question
and I get a point for each one of those that our guests choose.
So each of us can score up to two points per round.
It seems fair, but apparently the probability favours me.
The house.
Boo!
And the house always wins although if
you've listened to previous shows you'll know that is not always the case anyway our questions come
from our great patreon supporters any patrons in tonight if you want to submit a question sign up
on any level via patreon.com slash jrpod linked in the show notes all right here is question number
one these are your five options. The Victorian aversion to any
intimate area of a lady being on show
like their sexy ankles.
Nudie assertion.
The day before the day before
today.
Yesterday is yesterday.
When you think...
Stop blowing my mind.
Option three. When you think you look
good in a hat, but you really do not.
The state a banana is in once its skin has been removed.
That's my favourite state.
Or a painful twisting whilst naked.
A painful twisting whilst naked.
Mm-hmm.
Is that your final answer?
I'm thinking about it.
I'm tempted by that.
Sometimes I just say what I like, the sound of it.
Yeah, so, I mean, five very good options there.
So the first one is Victorian ankles.
An aversion to intimate areas of ladies being on show like their ankles.
Okay. So there's the banana. The banana being on show like their ankles. Okay.
So there's the banana.
The banana.
There's the Victorians.
Yes.
There's the day before the day before today.
Not looking good in a hat.
And painful twisting whilst naked.
Any thoughts, Corey?
Oh, thoughts on my end.
I think Victorian makes too much sense.
Okay.
Great, you really talked yourself out of that one.
Thought you were going to lock it in, no?
No, you lock it in first.
I don't know how this works.
Yeah, no, you go first, Dave, this time.
Corey does not have the confidence.
Listen to him.
I'm thinking the day before the day before today.
Okay.
So if today is Friday
Yes, is that
How many days before is that? It's Wednesday
Wednesday, okay, that's a much easier way of saying it. So it means Wednesday
Yeah, I'm gonna lock that a nudie astersion the day before the day before today, please. Lock that in. Locked in. What about you, Corey?
nudie astersion
the
Victorian ankles sexy one.
And you're locking that in?
I'm locking it in.
All right, I'm locking that in for Corey.
This is who wrote the answers.
A painful twisting whilst naked was Corey.
Ah.
Now, what does that mean?
That is something that is between me and my doctor.
And I thank you not to ask.
The state of a banana was the house.
I can smell it.
I can smell it on the house.
When you think you look good in a hat but you really do not.
That was Dave.
That's every time I've ever put on a hat.
Dave.
That's every time I've ever put on a hat.
The Victorian aversion to intimate areas of ladies
being on show, like their sexy ankles.
That was the house.
So one point for the house, meaning Dave is correct.
It was the day before the day before today.
Yeah!
Thank you.
We have a word for that?
I didn't realise we had a word for that
The day before the day before today
Nudiestertion
Yes
Very underused word
So that means
Quick score update
Corey on zero
Dave on one
And the house on one
Here's question number two
Okay it's close
It's close
This one comes from
Rachel Johnson in Melbourne
You're here tonight
Rachel
What world record And Dave you're an expert on these So hopefully you here tonight, Rachel. What world record...
Dave, you're an expert on these,
so hopefully you don't know this one.
What world record did Matt Hand...
set on the 9th of May 2001?
Matt Hand?
Yes.
9th of May 2001.
That's right.
Okay, just going back through my encyclopaedia knowledge.
So you've just got to write a world record of some description there.
And whilst you're writing your answers, I'm going to tell the audience a little bit more about the word nudistertium.
According to the Ettyman blog, the word literally means today the third day
and derives from the Latin word nudisterianus.
and derives from the Latin word nudisterianus,
which in turn originates from the phrase nudius tertius,
the day before yesterday.
Breaking this down even further,
the word nudius comes from nu, meaning now,
and dies for day, and tertius means third. Huh.
So that means nu metal means now metal yeah absolutely yeah have you heard it's the freshest sound ever all right here's question number two
what world record did matt hand set on the 9th of may 2001 most spins on a windmill while strapped to a blade
The furthest distance hopping on one foot the largest pile of beer mats flipped and caught
most in court
most Mars bars concealed somewhere on the human body
Or most cum guzzled in one minute? This is a tough one.
I mean, how much could you do in one minute?
Yeah.
And what's a guzzle?
I was thinking, yeah, it's not gargle.
What's a guzzle?
It just means swallow.
Have a go.
Have a go.
Have a guzzle. Have a guzzle.
So can you please recap one more time?
Matt Hand.
Most spins on a windmill while strapped to a blade.
I want it to be that.
The furthest distance hopping on the left foot.
The largest pile of beer mats flipped and caught.
Most Mars bars concealed somewhere on a human body.
Or most cum guzzled in one minute oh I'm feeling
come okay yeah really just a little bit you're really feeling that okay would
you like to talk us through the reasoning behind that I just like the
idea of someone guzzling a lot of come I don't know it just but only for one
minute only for one minute any longer and it's. Any longer and it's not prudish.
The opposite of prudish.
It's too vulgar, I think.
Yeah, you're right.
One minute is enough.
Anything more than a minute is performative, isn't it?
Yeah.
I like the idea of the windmill, though.
I would like to be strapped to a windmill blade and spun.
Okay.
Okay.
What are you thinking, Dave?
So it's most bar mats flipped and caught.
Corey, Dave went first last time.
Oh, okay, yes.
We're giving our answers.
Yeah, sorry.
What was the one after the windmill?
Furthest distance hopping on the left foot.
I'm going to lock that in.
Furthest distance hopping on the left foot. Okay, locking to lock that in. Furthest distance hopping on the left foot.
Okay, locking that in for Corey.
What about you, Dave? I am tempted
by the bar mats,
I believe.
Are you locking it in or tempted?
That's a real soft
answer, isn't it?
Are you trying to raid me or something?
Yeah.
Let's go through the answers.
Most cum guzzled in one minute.
That was Corey.
No.
Oh, no.
When in doubt, cum it out. Oh, yeah.
It's great to have a catchphrase.
It really is.
Most Mars bars concealed somewhere on a human body was Dave.
Yes, that's true.
That felt very Dave. Most spins on a windmill. Yes, that's true. That felt very Dave.
Most spins on a windmill while strapped to a blade, that was the house.
I don't know if you know, I was riding this as we drove from Glasgow to Leeds,
and I don't know if you saw all the windmills out the window,
but a little insight into my process.
I did see a lot of cum being guzzled.
We drove through some interesting villages, to say the least.
The furthest distance hopping on the left foot, that was also the house.
Oh.
So, Dave, once again, correct.
The largest pile of beer mats flipped and caught.
This never happens.
This never happens.
Yeah, wow. So, quick score update. Corey on nought. This never happens Yeah wow
So quick score update
Corey on nought
Dave in the house
In the lead on two
A piece
This is like golf right
I'm winning
Yeah
I think in golf
You still have to score
Something
Yeah
You can't be on zero
Alright question number three Okay This one was written by on syrup.
Alright, question number three.
Okay.
This one was written by Nathaniel Gingrich from Hoffman
Estates in Illinois.
The question is, what is the nickname of
UFC welterweight Tim
Means? What is the nickname
of UFC welterweight Tim Means?
While you're writing your
answers, I'll let the audience know a little bit more about Matt Hand.
So I think beer mats are what we would call coasters.
Do you call them coasters or beer mats?
So you call them beer mats, we call them coasters.
But yeah, so they're just little cardboard squares.
And then there was a pile.
Yeah, and it was a pile of 112.
Whoa.
Oh. I thought he was flipping and catching them one by one. Like flip cup. No, I think it was a pile. Yeah, and it was a pile of 112. Whoa. Oh.
I thought he was flipping and catching them one by one,
like flip cup.
No, I think it was...
It was all at once.
I think it was the stack, a pile of them.
That actually is impressive.
Waterstones Bookshop Gallery in Nottingham in the UK.
It took him over four hours and 129 attempts
before he broke the previous record of 111.
Seems like he's basically a full-time record breaker.
He's living your dream, Dave.
That is my dream, absolutely.
But he kind of presents them as performance art.
His website's all about the theories behind why he does it.
Really intellectualising it.
According to his website
it says
by asking audiences
to witness
and or take part
in world record
breaking events
Matt Hand
invites them to consider
the underlying motivations
of this hugely popular
cultural phenomena
his performances
investigate the complex
conditions
behind the extraordinary
and persistent
human desire
to live on
in some capacity
and to be recognized
as the best at something, anything.
Through these events, Matt Hand aims...
It's still going.
Through these events, Matt Hand aims to explore
his own relationship with the compulsion to make a mark,
the cultural position and function of world records,
and the possibility for their artistic re-representation,
interpretation through live art and installation.
OK, well, he's just set a new world record there for the world's most pretentious
c***.
He just can't help
himself, this guy. He's always
setting records. Dave,
you like world records, don't you? Absolutely
love them. If you had to choose one world record to
break, which would it be? For a while there,
I was really good at putting eggs into egg cups using only my feet. I was on world record pace.
How does one find that they're good at that? Yeah, so I've got quite dexterous feet. So I
think something to do with that, I reckon. Oh, really? Dexterous toes or just dexterous feet?
Can you do it with one foot? Yeah, I could do it with one foot, absolutely. If anyone pulls out an egg right now.
All right, the answers are in.
We'll come back to the egg if we can get...
Somebody has an egg in their cup.
Yeah, please get me an egg.
And maybe we can talk about your...
You've got a record in mind as well.
Cum guzzling has already been done.
So the question is, what is the nickname of UFC welterweight Tim Means?
Here are your five options.
The Dirty Bird.
Glove Boy.
The Baltimore Blopper.
Blopper.
Blopper.
Blopper.
The Meanie.
Or the Fister.
Fister.
Blopper.
Blopper.
The meanie or the fister.
I want it to be the fister.
I want it to be the fister.
Yeah, okay.
But what about the answer?
All right, here we go.
Bit of fun there.
The dirty bird, glove boy, the Baltimore blopper,
the meanie or the fister?
What is a blopper?
I don't... I'm not here to answer questions.
I'm here to ask them.
Yeah, okay.
The meanie, that's the one that's like...
That's his name.
That feels...
So, but is that, you know...
It's a red herring.
The old...
That dog the house trying to
dog us
um
um
dogging means something
different here I think
yeah
I know what I said
the
the fister
glove boy
and what was the fifth one
uh
the one I haven't said
the dirty third
the fister glove boy the dirty you said The one I haven't said? The Dirty Bird. The Dirty Bird.
You said two.
Yeah, I've said them all, actually.
So technically, I should get a point.
Is it back to me going first?
Yeah.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking sometimes I reckon Matt makes you overthink,
so I'm thinking The Meanie, and I'm going to lock that in.
Locking in The Meanie for Dave. What about you, Corey?
I'm going with my heart and my fist.
The fister, I'm locking in the fister.
Okay.
All right, well, let's go through who wrote the answers.
The Baltimore Blopper, that was the house.
Gloveboy, that was Dave.
And how did you come to that Dave?
I thought if I was in the UFC
What would I want to be called?
They don't use gloves in the UFC right?
Yeah they do, don't they?
I don't know what UFC is
They wear these little mitts
You know to soften the millions of strikes
To a human face
Mitten boy
The meanie which Dave picked That was Corey So a point for Corey and the millions of strikes to a human face. Mitten boy.
The meanie, which Dave picked, that was Corrie.
So a point for Corrie.
Well done.
Thank you very much. Well done.
The fister was the house.
Meaning the correct answer was the dirty bird.
So one point to Corrie, one point to the house.
Boo!
I really liked Leeds until moments ago.
Please, please, please.
So that means the scores are now Corey on one, Dave on two,
and the house on three points.
The house is taken off.
All right, question number four.
Harry Green from Cows on the Isle of Wight wrote this one
You're not a fan of the Isle of Wight
Harry's question is
60s teen idol Adam Faith died on the 8th of March 2003 at the age of 62
What was the last thing he said before he died?
Okay
Or his famous last words
What's the guy's name?
Adam Faith.
Adam Faith.
A 60s teen idol.
60s teen.
While you're writing your answers, here's some more information on the dirty bird.
According to Wikipedia.org, Means began training at the age of 12 as he was a troubled kid
and was taken under the wing of a local trainer.
In 2004, Means was involved in a shooting incident outside of a bar
and suffered a nine-inch gunshot wound in the femoral artery of his thigh.
It's a grim story to be telling live like this.
Just a bit of fun facts for you.
He was prescribed... It doesn't get any better.
He was prescribed painkillers and morphine
and developed a morphine dependency.
I'm just wondering why I'm doing this now.
After Means' prescriptions ran out, he began experimenting with methamphetamine.
A few years after Means began using meth, he found himself in trouble with the law and was charged with aggravated assault.
How could this get worse? It keeps getting worse.
After punching a man who broke into his home,
after serving more than three years in prison,
he turned his life around.
Oh.
Prison works.
Prison works.
You always say it.
You always say it.
That is, yeah, one of your other catchphrases, isn't it?
He was asked where he got the Dirty Bird nickname on the Spitballing podcast,
and he said,
I went to the state wrestling championships with my mum,
and she dyed my hair.
I had my first fight when I was 17,
and it was a bad haircut, a bad dye job,
and someone called me a Dirty Bird, and the name stuck.
I hated that name for a long time.
But he likes it now.
He likes it now.
Corey, you want to talk about your,
what you would do for a world record?
So if you want to know how to guzzle cum best,
first you open up the throat okay i'm done
that's it that that's all of the steps yeah okay oh that's perfect because question number four

All right, we'll go through the, who wrote the answers there.
The no more chewing because he's going to eat like a duck.
That was the house. What? That was not me. me it was not you I thought that was a Simpsons
reference I mean I also like the Simpsons I think I'm getting better that That was Corey. They hated that. Brutal. Oh, my God.
That's worse than Channel 5.
Come on.
Why am I wearing a monocle?
That was Dave.
Yes.
Yeah, people don't get it.
I get it.
Imagine if that was your last ever voice.
Why am I wearing a monocle?
A train hits you. Imagine. That was your last ever voice. Why am I wearing a monocle? A train hits you.
Imagine.
Imagine.
That was what I was thinking.
I used to do a backflip off my bed.
That was The House.
Harry from the Isle of Wight wrote that one.
And that means the correct answer is Channel 5 is all shit, isn't it?
Wow.
I was sure you were going to get that
seeing as if Corey didn't write it,
how am I writing a one about Channel 5?
I didn't even know what it meant.
I thought the Isle of Wight.
Good point.
Yeah.
A very good point.
I thought he'd written it.
I thought he'd written it.
Thinking is hard.
All right, here is the score update.
On two points, Corey.
Yes.
On two points, Dave.
Thank you.
But out in front on four points, it's the house.
I'm winning a few over.
There's a couple coming around.
All right, so three questions left.
Dave, you've got to pick it up.
Okay.
Corey, you've warmed up now.
Yeah, I was the underdog.
I'm coming back.
Question number five comes from Jim Bates from Sackett's Harbor in New York.
And the question is, what did Solange Knowles tweet on the 10th of March 2010
that got at least 13 retweets before it was deleted.
What did Solange Knowles, Beyonce's sister, Solange...
Thank you.
Also a musician but probably, yeah, quite famous sister as well, Beyonce.
And while you're writing those tweets,
I'll give the audience a little bit more information about Adam Faith.
According to the Daily Mail,
Adam Faith was with his 22-year-old girlfriend in a hotel room
when he collapsed and died from a heart attack.
Apparently, when his girlfriend was there waiting, someone in the ambulance said,
don't worry, your dad will be okay.
Is that what killed him?
I get the questions and then I try and find a fact after that
so I'm like, I found out all this stuff after
I'm like, oh, fucking hell
It's too late, I've already written it down
What am I going to do? Think of another question?
As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors
like high blood pressure developed during pregnancy As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors,
like high blood pressure developed during pregnancy,
which can put us two times more at risk of heart disease or stroke.
Know your risks.
Visit heartandstroke.ca.
Dave, have you got your answer in?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yep.
Yep, that's come through. I've got my answer in, Matt okay that's yep yep let's come through i've got my answer in matt yeah thank you all right good boy suck up sucking up to the house that's how you win
yeah it is this is true though we combine we're on the same score as the house that's right yeah
hey hey he's new to the podcast.
I can corrupt him.
All right, so here is question number five.
Now, you two, you really need some points here.
Okay.
No pressure, but you're doing shit out so far.
I've never been on a show that's so openly hostile to its guests.
No, I'm encouraging you.
Yeah.
So,
what did Solange Knowles tweet
on the 10th of March, 2010?
I'm the most talented member
of my family
and it's not even close.
My thumb itches
and my armpits sweat
and my...
Yeah, no wonder it was deleted.
It was full of typos.
My thumb itches and my armpits smell Yeah, no wonder it was deleted. It was full of typos.
My thumb itches and my armpits smell like Spongebob fever.
Why am I wearing a monocle?
It really makes you think.
What are the chances?
Ed Balls?
Ed Balls.
Ed Balls? It feels like something that everyone gets for me but... Or finally, we spend so
much time fighting each other in America that we never take time to be America and, America.
So you've got five pretty good options there.
Corey, what are your thoughts?
Solange.
Do you know much about Solange?
I know that Solange is related to Beyoncé and that Beyoncé was in Destiny's Child
alongside two other people.
Michelle Williams and...
The other one.
Kelly Rowland.
But they're not the original ones.
What?
There's two others as well, right?
No one cares about them.
So what are you thinking, Corey?
I'm thinking...
I think it is true that we don't have enough time
to be Merica and see Merica.
And recently I did see Merica, and it would help us all, you know?
Oh, gosh. What were the other ones?
What was the first one?
I'm the most seldom member of this family that's not even close.
OK.
I can't imagine how inebriated or intoxicated you'd have to be
to tweet that whilst being related to Beyonce.
So that one's out.
I think America.
I'm going with America.
I want to lock that in.
Okay.
Okay.
I was also tempted by that until I saw Matt's reaction there.
I got a pretty good poker face.
Are you locked in, Corey, by the way?
No.
No?
Well played.
Could you do the right answer, please?
No, I can't do that, but I can quickly give you them all once more.
My son, a member of the family, my thumb itches and my armpits smell like Spongebob fever.
Why am I wearing a monocle?
Ed Bowles or A-merica, B-merica, C-merica? Spongebob fever, I wearing a monocle? Ed Balls. Or A, America, B, America, C, America.
SpongeBob fever, I think.
SpongeBob fever for Corey.
Yeah, I'm going to lock that in.
What about you, Dave?
Ed Balls.
Fantastic selections.
All right, let's go through who wrote these.
I'm the most talented member in the family
That was The House
The House also wrote
We spend too much time fighting each other in America
Incredible
That we never take the time to be America
And see
We spend so much time
She's really encouraging me See, we spend so much time...
She's really encouraging me. Yeah.
We spend so much time fighting each other in America
that we never take time to be America and see America.
Vote for me for student body council.
Why am I wearing a monocle?
That was Dave.
What?
Wow.
Do you know when I said, Dave, have you sent yours in?
Yeah, I was confused.
Then we had Ed Balls.
That was Corey.
So one point for Corey. That was Curry. So one point for Curry.
That was such a gamble.
I also have no idea what that means.
Yeah, what does that mean?
So a man named Ed Balls, who was an MP or something, an MP, tweeted out his first tweet on Twitter was just his name, Ed Balls.
Oh, good.
That is very good, then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm relying on British memes.
Which means that my
thumb itches and my
armpits smell like
SpongeBob fever is
correct.
How's that possible?
What does that mean?
I don't know.
And yeah, that's
probably why she
deleted it.
The next question.
We've only got two questions left.
This one is question number six,
and it comes from Matt Stafford from Bar's Scrub.
Is that in this country?
Sounds like it could be, Bar's Scrub.
That sounds like it's in Australia.
Oh.
Yeah.
Matt's question is,
in 2008, New York Yankee Jason Giambi...
In 2008, New York Yankee Jason Giambi
started what superstition to break out of his hitting slump
that inspired teammates to do the same?
So he started doing like a bit of a routine superstition to break out of his hitting slump that inspired teammates to do the same so he started doing like a bit of a routine superstition thing what was that superstition while you're writing those answers I couldn't really figure out
what the slounge tweet was about but I found this listicle of weird celebrity
tweets on parents influence, and they wrote...
They wrote,
This tweet makes us think that someone got a hold of Solange Knoll's Twitter account.
Not sure if the singer-songwriter really wanted to let us know about her itchy thumb and sweat.
Come to think of it, what does Spongebob fever even mean?
This one just makes us scratch our heads.
Sometimes a post is so strange,
we speculate that either the person posting was under the influence or their account was hacked.
Not sure what was up with Knowles when this post came out,
but it definitely drew a reaction from followers.
I guess we'll just keep it a mystery about what she meant.
That's the kind of insight you can get from...
parentsinfluence.com. Are you a reader of Parents Influence
Curry? Oh avid yeah
we all are in the UK it's the most
popular news source
they do fantastic
listicles
I think you mean journalism
yeah I think you mean journalism. Yeah.
What's happening at this table?
Is everything okay?
What's happening?
I snorted.
You snorted.
I snorted.
All right, here's question number six.
Don't worry, we'll cut that out. We'll cut that out.
The podcast will go for about eight minutes, but anyway.
In 2008, New York Yankee Jason Giambi
started What Superstition? A Breakout of a Hitting Slump,
inspired teammates to do the same.
He chewed six packets of gum all at once before taking the field.
Guzzling cum for one minute.
At the midpoint of the game,
changed his laces from left cleat to his right
and vice versa,
and then soaking the laces in holy water overnight.
He pilgrimage to Elvis's Graceland
to pray to the king before each game.
Or he started wearing a golden tiger-striped G-string
under his uniform?
All of these are ridiculous.
They are.
They are.
Well, we know that it's guzzling cum,
so let's just move to the...
I feel like with most superstitions,
the first time is kind of an accident. And then you go oh i played better i've got to keep wearing the g-string or i i happen to
go we were playing a game in memphis i went to see graceland and then we won maybe i've got it there
every time but the other ones i tripped and fell and guzzled cum. Yeah, yeah. And then I, you know, played so well.
Or like the whole water one.
How do you accidentally untie your cleats,
then accidentally soak it in holy water,
then accidentally put them back on the next day?
Yeah, it'd be hard.
Or accidentally chew the bastard bus.
Or six packets of gum all at once.
Honestly, maybe my theory isn't helping out at all here.
Well, I mean, if that is the case, you've ruled out a couple
possibly.
I think it's your turn though, Corey.
I am feeling...
I'm going to regret this. I'm feeling Graceland.
I'm going to...
Oh!
Damn it!
So you haven't locked that in? I've not locked that in
Should he lock that in?
I'm not
I'm not
Maybe I'm feeling
Chewing gum
I'm not
Don't
I think I'm gonna lock in
Chewing gum
Whatever
I missed his face
I missed his face Alright I missed his face.
All right.
Okay.
So we don't think it's Graceland.
I'm not saying anything.
He maybe did travel.
Knowing that baseball games are sometimes double and triple headers,
he may have traveled to Graceland interstate, you know,
in the short breaks between.
We don't know.
We don't know.
So the other ones are G-string.
G-string.
Gum.
Laces.
Laces.
Gum.
Cum guzzling.
Okay.
Ooh.
That sounds like a really fun day.
Yeah.
Do the gum at the end all right I'm gonna go with the laces give me some
holy water okay laces for Dave here are the answers who wrote them Come guzzling for one minute. That was Corey.
Pilgrimage to Elvis's Graceland to pray to the king before each game.
That was the house.
Dodged a bullet.
Really did.
Chewed six packets of gum all at once
before taking the field.
Corey locked that in, but that was Dave's.
Gotcha.
One point to Dave there.
Dave went for the soaking the laces in holy water overnight.
That was the house.
No.
Meaning the correct answer was he started wearing
a golden tiger stripe G-string under his uniform.
So that means one point to the house, one point to Dave.
And the scores are now, quick score update.
We've got Dave on three points,
Corey on four points, but out in front on five points.
It's the house.
Still anybody's game going into the last round.
We can't let the house score any points this round.
So we've got to work together.
We'll work together.
Okay, gotcha.
Can he trust me yet?
No.
Alright, the final question
comes from Braden
from Brisbane.
And we always finish
with a film synopsis question.
So you've just got to write
a short film synopsis.
You know, it could be
a short paragraph sort of thing.
And the film you've got to synopsise
is the 2011 film Ant Farm Dickhole.
That is literally my favourite film.
Okay, well just don't give too much away, Corey.
Ant Farm...
Dickhole.
Okay, I did hear that right.
Alright, now while your answers are being written,
here is some more information about Jason Giambi's superstition from Bleacher Report.
When former New York Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi broke out of a particularly gruesome hitting slump in 2008,
he revealed that the secret to his success was a gold thong.
Not only did he pony up to using the lingerie to spark his performance at the plate,
but he also divulged that it's something he's done in the past.
His teammates were so impressed that a few decided to try it for themselves,
including one Johnny Damon,
who rationalised the decision by claiming that the mechanics of the thong
stop a hitter from focusing too much on their hands or balance.
So it worked for him, so I'm going to try out.
I don't know if there's any baseballers in tonight.
It's not a big game over here, really, is it?
What's the big Leeds game?
Rounders.
Big Rounders.
Big Rounders town.
Is there...
What's the big cricket...
What's the international cricket ground around here?
Paddingley.
Oh, fucking hell.
That's cool.
That's one of the cool ones.
Dave's a big cricket guy.
I love that.
We should go visit there tomorrow. All right, yeah's cool. That's one of the cool ones. Dave's a big cricket guy. I love that. We should go visit there tomorrow.
All right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Woo!
Yeah, let's all go.
Yeah.
It's near my house.
It's near you.
Do you say it's at your house?
Is that Gary Headingley himself?
Of the Headingley clan?
Freaking hell.
I didn't know Gary was in.
Oh, no, that's great.
We'll come see your place tomorrow.
Ah, and see your regret on your face.
I'm not padding.
If that's what anyone's thinking, I'm certainly not padding.
What's your name?
All right.
You are a big cricket fan, Dave.
I think that might surprise some people
because you're such a...
I'm such a rounders boy.
You're such a party animal.
I think people would be surprised to know
that you're into such a slow-paced sport.
You're sort of like...
You're a kind of high-octane character.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
But I love the art of spin bowling.
Here's the final question.
So it really is anyone's game.
Dave, you'll need the maximum two points.
Corey, if you get two points, you'll win.
If you get one point, you will level with the house.
Okay, remember...
Assuming the house doesn't get a point.
Yeah, we can't let the house get a point here.
The house will not get a point.
So one of these five is the synopsis for the film Ant Farm Dickhole.
Which one is it?
A teenage boy named Max begins to become attracted to his ant farm.
Have you...
I thought we were all grown-ups here.
Frickin' hell.
I'm disappointed.
That'd be so itchy.
That'd be so itchy.
If you could let me finish.
That's what he said to the ants.
So the question is... Oh, the answer.
The answer is... Oh, the answer. The answer is...
Oh, this is the answer.
I'm locking it in.
Okay.
A teenage boy named Max begins to become attracted to his ant farm.
Have you ever had 1,400 girlfriends all at once?
Well, Max has.
This Disney Channel original movie
This is the next one
This Disney Channel original movie
sees our favourite outcasts
from Disney Channel's Ant Farm
face their most trying challenge yet
How will they dig themselves out of this one?
Option three.
Hostile army ants make their nest inside a living man's penis.
The unwilling host discovers that when bullies attack him,
the ants defend their nest.
Thus begins a tragic tale
of what happens when the powerless
become powerful.
Option four.
High school is hard,
but it's even...
Are all of these dick related?
Yeah.
High school is hard, but it's even harder for the members of Ant Farm Dickhole, the worst band in history.
But Max and his friends have a plan to turn everything around at the homecoming dance.
Will they be able to sabotage their rival band Sky Punch and end high school with a bang?
That's option number four. Well, finally, based on true events,
Ant Farm Dickhole details the miraculous escape
of notorious Swedish gangster Anders Eriksson
from a high-security prison in Malmo.
Despite the giveaway and the title,
training ants to hide in his urethra
and pick locks on his command is only one...
..is only the first of many incredible lengths
Anders must go to before he can escape.
OK, so you've got five options there.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
You've got Max with his ant girlfriends.
You've got the Disney Channel...
..digging themselves out.
You've got the hostile army ants nesting in a man's penis.
And they start protecting the nest.
You've got the high school band, Ant Farm Dickhole.
Or you've got the Swedish gangster breaking out of the jail by training ants.
And that one's based on a true story.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Aren't they all based on true stories, really?
In a lot of ways, yeah.
I feel like the house is writing from experience here, right?
This could be the toughest question I've ever faced.
Yeah.
The hardest question you've ever faced.
Hey, hey.
What are you thinking, Dave?
I think it could be the bully self-defense.
Okay.
I think that that sounds plausible.
That, yeah, ants would nest in it.
Of course, and they would protect their...
Protect their host.
Yes.
Instead of eating the penis.
Yeah. I love how they eating the penis. Yeah.
I love how they're described as
hostile ants.
Anyway, I probably should have
collaborated with you there. That would have been a good idea.
Did I just lock in a good one, do you think?
Did you lock it in? Did I lock it in?
I think I locked it in. I didn't lock it in.
What do you think? I don't know.
Okay, you wouldn't have helped me.
I wouldn't have helped you, no, I'm sorry. I want to win. Okay, I'm going with it. Alright, and what do you think? I don't know Okay, you wouldn't have helped me I wouldn't have helped you No, I'm sorry
I want to win
Okay, I'm going with it
I'm going with it
Alright
And what do you want to go for, Corey?
I'm going to go with Dave's answer
The one that he wrote
The high school band one
I like it
To give me a point
Sure
Okay
Okay, appreciate that
Alright, I'm locking that in
It's locked in
Alright, here's who wrote the answers.
Okay.
A teenage boy named Max begins to become attracted to his ant farm.
That was Dave.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, you write what you know, okay?
You write what you know.
Have you ever had 1,400 girlfriends at once?
Well, Max hasn't, so have I.
The Swedish gangster
one, that was the house.
The Disney Channel original movie cast,
that was Corey. I thought you said
dig hole. I was so
confused.
Then they all became about
dicks.
Then it made sense.
Then they all became about dicks.
Then it made sense.
The one about the high school band, that was The House.
Oh, no.
So I pointed to The House, but Dave was correct.
Hostile army ants made a nest inside a man's living penis.
Or a living man's penis.
I guess both things are true.
So one point for Dave,
one point for the house.
I'll get someone to tabulate these scores in a second.
But in the meantime,
just let me tell you quickly
a little bit more about this film.
I just found an IMDB user review.
I'll read that out.
For a B or even a D movie.
That's good stuff.
There are some wonderful aspects to such a low-budget
poorly acted movie as this.
So it's got a lot of
bad reviews, but I found one. This is a
positive review. First, the
plot is original and hilarious.
Second, it has what D movies
are made for. Lots of people dying
and lots of naked women.
Okay. Third, it has
one of the most obvious and offensive titles
ever. Fourth,
everyone's name and many of the words
have ant substituted in.
These are some of the things that
he looks for in a good movie
Can you check to see if the person that wrote that
Might have the same name as the director on IMDb
Some examples of these ant words include
Ant-nihilation instead of annihilation
They say that in the film
Anti-climactic
And then the characters names are are like Aunt Drew and stuff.
Not Anthony?
No, it's like...
I guess that's the joke, I don't know.
Fifth, the dialogue surrounding evolution and relationships
is very well written and deep.
Juxtapose against the poor acting and strange script
makes it stick out and brilliant.
Toxopose against the poor acting and strange script makes it stick out and brilliant.
These actors own the terribleness of the storyline.
The people dying own being eaten alive by ants. All the while centralising around a man masturbating a lot and shooting ants from his penis to get revenge.
Oh, and the girls in the bikinis are the smartest people
in the film? Classic.
It's one of the weirdest reviews
I've ever read.
I read.
Oh dear.
Wow.
Wow.
I did not write that, I promise.
Quick score check to finish us up here.
In equal third place, it's Dave and Corey on four points, but out in front, it's the house on six.
Boom!
But four plus four is eight.
Yeah. So we join together.
You win on combined.
So the winners, the joint winners, it's Curry and Dave.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for joining us.
Curry, where can people find you?
In my house. No, don't come there.
At Sci Guys Pod, everywhere except for where it? In my house. No, don't come there. At Sci Guys Pod
everywhere except for
where it's at Sci Guys.
Or at Not Corey.
Or at my house.
And Dave and I
were on the show
this week.
Yes, yes.
No, I remember this now.
Dave and Matt were
on the show on Sci Guys.
They came and we did
MK Ultra and it was
genuinely one of my
favourite episodes.
You should go and
check it out.
It was great fun.
It was great fun.
And Dave, where can
people find you?
People can find me on the Book Cheat
or Do Go On podcast.
Thank you.
All right, well, that brings us
to the end of the episode.
Thank you so much for listening
and thanks so much for being here in person.
It's been so nice to be here in Leeds.
Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds.
Thanks so much for joining us everyone
you dickholes, goodnight!
