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 guest this week is host of the Do Go On podcast, it's Jess Perkins.
Woo!
Our second contestant is also the host of the Do Go On podcast, it's Dave Warnke.
Woo!
Great to be here, hello.
How does he get these guests?
I look, I went through your managers.
It took a long time.
Yeah.
I tell my dad.
They drove a hard bargain.
I say do not reply to that guy.
Yeah.
That's why I ended up having a barge down their door.
Yeah.
They said no one's home and you said I'm looking at you.
Yeah.
And this is an office.
I'm looking at you Eric.
Eric. Fucking Eric. We've got to'm looking at you, Eric. Eric.
Fucking Eric.
We've got to fire Eric.
Yeah, Eric.
Eric, if you're listening, you're fired.
But anyway, yeah, great to be here.
Matt, was it?
Eric didn't pass on your name.
He's a terrible manager.
All right, well, you've both been on the show before.
I believe I'm the carryover champion.
Yeah, sure.
I say that every time.
Do you?
Is that just a fun little bit you do?
Actually, I haven't done it since I was last been on with you, Jess, but I do it
every time I'm on with you.
Well, I can't wait to crush you.
For new listeners, the way the show works is 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 they have to guess a convincing fake answer. I then read their answers as well as the real one
and they have to guess which one is correct.
Sounds complicated but it's not.
You'll understand once we get playing.
Are we ready to go?
Yippers.
Very ready.
Here is question number one.
This one comes from listener Bella from Sydney.
The question is, what is the Dave rule?
The Dave rule.
What is the Dave rule? D-A-V-E. What is the Dave rule? The Dave rule. What is the Dave rule?
D-A-V-E.
What is the Dave rule?
All right, now while they're writing their 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.
By the way, I'm also playing as the house
and I've put in two of my own fake answers,
often with the help of the question writer 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.
Seems fair, but the probability actually favors me.
The house.
And the house always wins.
So if you've listened to previous episodes, you'll know this is not always the case.
Our questions come from our great Patreon supporters.
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.
I just want to say no matter what the rule is,
I'm going to have to start instigating it in my life.
Oh, I see.
The Dave rule.
Okay.
I haven't heard of it before, but no matter what it is.
You'd think you would have.
I'm committing. No one's ever enforced the Dave rule on me. All right. The, I see. The Dave rule. Okay. I haven't heard of it before, but no matter what it is. You'd think you would have. I'm committing. No one's ever enforced the Dave rule on me.
All right. The answers are in. First question. What is the Dave rule? Here are your five options.
No one called Dave is allowed in any pub in Wales before 1pm. It's an inside joke in the
Silicon Valley where if a work team includes as many women as it does people named Dave, it has achieved acceptable gender balance.
It's a rule that refers to the interchangeability of names based
on the example of the formal David being able to turn into the casual Dave.
A Dave must never lose his virginity or don't allow vegans equality.
Don't allow vegans equality.
The Dave rule.
The Dave rule.
Okay.
Okay.
There was one in there I just did not understand.
The name.
Interchangeability one?
Yeah.
Can you read that one again?
A rule that refers to the interchangeability of names based on the example
of the formal David being able to turn into the casual Dave.
Right, but it doesn't explain what the rule is.
Well, I think it's saying.
Yes, it does.
It's saying.
Jessica becomes Jess, Jesse.
Yeah.
Matthew becomes.
Jessica's a name that fits the Dave rule.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
What's a name that doesn't?
Zoe.
Yeah, Zoe doesn't fit the Dave rule.
Zave.
Zave doesn't fit the Dave rule. Zave. Zave doesn't fit the Dave rule.
No.
It does because Zave.
Zoe does fit the Dave rule.
Oh.
Zave.
Am I getting it?
No.
I think you're getting further away somehow.
Give us those one more time.
No one.
Maybe not that one because we'll just lose Dave again.
No one called Dave is allowed in any pub in Wales before one.
Yeah.
The inside joke in the Silicon Valley where if there are as many women one because we'll just lose Dave again. No one called David is allowed in any pub in Wales before one. Yeah.
The inside joke in the Silicon Valley where if there are as many women as Dave's, it's gender balance.
Yep.
The interchangeability of names.
Dave must never lose his virginity or don't allow vegans equality.
I'm going to go the Silicon Valley one.
Silicon Valley football.
Yeah, it's a pretty funny in-joke, especially because it's usually still pretty dude heavy.
Okay.
Sometimes if you don't understand something,
you've got to go with it.
You've got to look that in the eye and say, I'm going to tame you.
I don't understand you.
I don't understand you.
But I want to.
But I want to.
I'm not here to hurt you.
Lock it in.
The Dave Rule is the whatever that one was.
I'm not here to hurt you.
Option three, I'm not here to hurt you.
You're patting it on the nose.
It's okay. God, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh we've also, if my one's right, achieved that because Matthew
is the Matt, Jessica is the Jessica.
Am I understanding now?
Yeah.
You both apply to the Dave rule.
Yeah, I would think most names do probably.
Well, certainly in Australian culture we'll shorten anything.
Even when I said Zoe, I was like we'd call her Zoe.
Zoe.
Oh, that's right.
But, you know.
The casual Zoe.
Yeah, but I think it's probably names that are very commonly used
and commonly shortened.
You know, it's a well-known shortening of it.
All right, well.
Charles to Charlie, you know.
Yes, okay.
And Charlie being the informal.
Yes.
And longer.
That's right.
Oh, yeah.
No, same amount of letters.
But in terms of syllable count, sorry.
Charlie.
Charles.
That's how I say Charles.
Charles.
Ah, Charles.
King Charles.
All right, let's go through who wrote the answers.
It might surprise you.
Don't allow vegans equality.
That was written by the howl.
Oh, yeah.
Of course the house has that opinion. Very oppressive, this house. Yeah, this house sucks. That was written by the Howell. Oh, yeah. Of course the house has that opinion.
Very oppressive, this house.
Yeah, this house sucks.
Hey, it's the Dave rule.
Damn it.
Hey.
Well, it's not, though, is it?
Ah.
It was made up by the oppressive house.
Exactly.
That's true.
A Dave must never lose his virginity.
That was written by Jess.
Not a rule, more of a guideline.
Yeah.
More of a way of life.
Yeah.
Perfectly acceptable one.
No one called Dave is allowed in any pub in Wales before 1pm.
That was written by Dave.
That was me.
That's a good one.
Except it's not.
A rule that refers to the interchangeability of names.
That was written by the house.
Oh, that's why it didn't make any sense.
Sucked in house.
Bella wrote it.
I actually reworded it and I probably made it sound more confusing,
unfortunately.
Damn it.
Meaning the correct answer is the Silicon Valley in-joke that Jess got.
So one point to Jess, one point to the house.
Well done.
One point for us for achieving the Dave rule here today.
No, just a point for me and one point for the house.
There's no point for us.
You don't get a point. What about the Dave? Point for the house. There's no point for us. You don't get a point.
What about the Dave?
Point for the Dave.
There's no point for the Dave.
No point for you, but one point for the Dave.
Can you get a quick score check?
Dave's on zero.
The Dave is on one.
All right, I'll allow that.
We'll allow the Dave to be a separate category.
Now there's three people beating me. Yeah. All right, I'm allow that. We'll allow the Dave to be a separate category. Now there's three people beating me.
Yeah.
All right, I'm putting the Dave in.
So you're giving the Dave one point.
The Dave gets a point, yes.
All right, we're up to question number two.
It is from Rachel Johnson from Melbourne.
The question is, and it's a world record question.
I love them.
I'm always nervous about these because Dave is a world record fanatic.
Yeah, loves them.
So he's every chance to already know it, but let's find out.
The question is, what world record did Olympic gold medalist
Sally Pearson set in September 2013?
It's not an Olympic event.
So it's something outside of her normal skills.
Sally Pearson had a world record?
That's pretty cool.
My family claimed to be related to Sally Pearson,
or the Pearson side of my family, to be fair.
You claim it.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think we are, but when she was, you know,
at the height of the Olympics, we were like, yep, one of ours.
Yep.
Cousin Sal.
Gan Piro.
We also obviously claim Kieran Perkins.
So while they're writing their answers,
here's some more information on the Dave Rule.
According to Wiki, the Dave Rule is an inside joke
in Silicon Valley start-up culture that posits that if a work team
includes as many women as it does people named Dave, it has achieved acceptable gender balance. The joke is in reference to Silicon Valley's
infamous gender gap. The concept was in use in the Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science
under the name Dave to Girl Ratio or Dave to Female Ratio at least as early as 1999.
It was first documented in Silicon Valley, which employs many
Carnegie Mellon SCS alumni under the name Dave Rule in 2014 by Guardian newspaper correspondent
Rory Carroll in an article about a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against dating
application startup Tinder by a female former executive. Yeah, so it's a bit of a fun in-joke with a grim underbelly.
Yeah, it felt like it was a grim in-joke, you know, like,
oh, we've got as many women as we do, Dave, so we've done it, you know.
It felt a bit crook but also a little bit funny but, you know,
depends on the tone, doesn't it?
I think it's funny because it's true.
Yeah, self-aware.
Good first step. Yeah, that's right, isn't it? Saying because it's true. Yeah, self-aware. Good first step.
Yeah, that's right, isn't it?
Saying you've got a problem.
Too many Daves.
Yeah.
Oh, Dave isn't the problem here.
Oh, hang on.
I think I've misunderstood.
The Dave is.
No, I think Dave is the problem.
All right, your answers are in.
So here's question number two.
What world record did Olympiclympic gold medalist
sally pearson set in september 2013 she collated the largest collection of toy emus most hot dogs
eaten while completing a hundred meter hurdle event longest distance skied on grass while
performing a handstand she ran the fastest time in a 100 metre egg and spoon race,
or a record number of strangers guessed her name was Sally based on her vibe.
I think I missed the hurdles one.
Most hot dogs eaten while completing a 100 metre hurdle event.
Because Sally Pearson, she won gold in the hurdles.
I believe so.
I think she was a hurdler.
I mean, your own family.
Yes. If you don't know your own flesh and blood.
I can picture her hurdling.
Yeah.
And so therefore.
I can picture her yodelling.
I can picture her with a hot dog.
But I've got a great imagination.
You do.
A vivid one.
If you don't mind, can we have them one more time, please?
Collating the largest collection of toy emus,
hot dogs eaten while hurtling,
longest distance skiing on grass while handstanding,
fastest time in a 100 metre egg and spoon race,
or record number of strangers guessing her name was Sally based on her vibe.
I went first last time, so you can go first this time, Dave. Okay.
We know she's got speed.
That's right.
We know she likes eggs.
Yes. We know that to be true. We know she's got speed. That's right. We know she likes eggs. Yes.
We know that to be true.
We know that to be true.
I'm thinking the egg and spoon race one.
Great.
I could see that being something that's adjudicated on.
A couple of the other ones I'm like, are they adjudicating that?
Yeah.
Is this adjudicatable?
Yeah.
Can you adjudicate this?
I mean, all of them technically you could if you went out of your way
and got Guinness there.
Yeah.
They love a wacky record.
They do, especially with someone who's got a bit of fame about them.
You know, Sally Pearson at the time, she's hip, she's hot,
she's happening.
But I'm still going to go the egg and spoon race.
No worries.
What about you, Jess?
I was going to go egg and spoon race as well.
Which, of course, you can.
I know, but, you know, am I here to have fun or am I here to win?
I'm not sure.
I haven't decided yet.
I think both can be the same.
At the moment, you're, am I here to have fun or am I here to win? I'm not sure. I haven't decided yet. I think both can be the same. At the moment you're doing neither.
Okay.
I've got one more point than you do, champ.
See?
She's not having fun.
I'm going to go egg and spoon race.
All right.
So answers are locked in.
But honestly, sick of your attitude.
Were you tempted by any of the other ones?
For example, one that I may have written?
It was interesting.
Two of them are quite similar.
The most hot dogs eaten while competing the 100-meter hurdle
and the fastest with the egg and spoon.
I guess one's not eating the egg.
So you're just saying.
If I understand egg and spoon right,
that's you're eating an egg with a spoon.
But we do know she liked eggs.
We do know that.
We know that for sure.
What you've got to remember is Sally Pearson loves eggs.
Loves eggs.
Unlike her second cousin, Jess Perkins.
Hates eggs.
Hates eggs.
And unlike that, who hates sex.
Who were you telling you were related to?
Just anybody who asked, really.
No, it was mostly.
Sorry, are you related to Sally Pearson?
It was my uncle whose last name is Pearson would say,
oh, yes, I'm related to Sally Pearson.
I'll occasionally do that, call Rod Stewart Uncle Rod.
Yeah.
Oh, Uncle Rod.
Yeah.
Cousin Sal.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, let's go through who wrote the answers.
She collated the largest collection of toy emus.
That was written by Rachel slash the house.
The most hot dogs eaten while competing at the 100 metre hurdle event. That was Jess.
I'd forgotten she was a hurdler.
So well done.
A record number of strangers guessed her name based on her vibe.
That was the house.
Very good.
That was very good.
She does look like a Sally.
The longest distance skied on grass whilst performing a handstand.
That was Dave.
Meaning the correct answer is she ran the fastest time in the 100 metre
egg and spoon race.
One point for Dave.
One point for Jess.
No points for the house.
No points for the Dave.
No points for the Dave.
Yeah, Dave, are you so the hands on the skis?
That's what I was imagining.
Skiing handstand.
That's pretty fun.
And I thought that someone who's very physically fit probably got some great
dexterity balance.
Downhill on the grass.
And you wouldn't have to go that far for it to be a record,
what, 40 metres or something?
Yeah.
Yeah, great.
I think that was.
Jess, were you tempted at all by my answer?
I actually was, to be honest.
It does sound like the kind of silly bullshit.
Yeah.
They love silly bullshit.
All right.
So, sorry, Jess, I don't understand what the Dave is.
Does the Dave get a point there or no point?
Yeah, I think the Dave gets a point there.
Nice.
Go the Dave.
All right.
The scores are Dave on one point, the house on one point,
Jess on two points and also on two points is the Dave.
Yeah, the Dave.
I don't understand what's going on.
He wants control early.
So we're up to question number three,
and this one comes from two people wrote the same question.
No.
Which has happened a few times,
but it's often happened after I've used the question
and then someone else will come in with the same question,
which is interesting.
Do people hit you up and say, hey, I wrote that?
Not as yet, but there'd be a few people being like, come on.
Yeah, if that happens.
What the fuck?
Come on.
What the fuck?
Guys, come on.
Oh, my God, what the fuck?
Yelling on the bus.
That's me listening to Matt's podcast, but for another reason.
What the fuck?
What is wrong with him?
The Dave, what does it mean?
Yeah, it's not fair.
It doesn't exist.
It doesn't exist.
This one was written by both Jim Bates from Sackets Harbour in New York.
Sackets.
Jim Bates comes up with a lot of good questions.
I feel like I'm calling his name out every second week.
And Adam King from Brooklyn in New York.
Adam King.
And the question is,
what is the name of the background character played by George Lucas
in Star Wars Episode III, Revenge of the Sith?
And I think, Dave, is this your favourite Star Wars?
Yes.
Okay.
Can you tell us anything else about it?
I love anything based around revenge.
Yes.
And finally, The Sith Rises.
Is this the one where or is the one you like the one with Darth Maul?
Is that this one or is that a different one? That is episode one.
That's the Phantom Menace. Sorry, I apologise.
Which I did love as a kid. Because you had the hat.
I had a Darth Maul hat given to me for my ninth birthday.
And then we quickly went on a
holiday to the Gold Coast with the family and I wore that hat
everywhere on the Gold Coast, representing my favourite movie.
That's so good. Star Wars episode one of the family.
And I in part put this question in because
this week's Do Go On episode
that the three of us host is about the Star Wars holiday special.
It's our annual Christmas episode.
So if you like Star Wars or even if you don't,
I think it's a bit of fun either way.
I tell the story of, yeah, one of the most critically panned films
of all time and it's a pretty wild ride.
It was good fun.
But the question here is, George Lucas,
what's his background character called?
Yeah, so he plays this very small character in the background,
but it's got a name.
What is the name of that character?
While you're writing your answers.
No, that's fine.
What movie is it?
It is Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith.
Yes, okay.
And while you're writing your answers,
I will let the audience know a bit more about Sally Pearson's record. According to NBC Sports,
Pearson, who was 27 at the time and the 2008 Olympic champion, smashed the world record for
the 100-meter Egg and Spoon Run. She conquered a green path laid outside a holiday inn in downtown Sydney where traffic had to be stopped.
She completed the run in 16.59 seconds.
Pearson easily broke the previous mark of 19.39 seconds
set by New Yorker Ashrita Furman.
Furman owns more than 100 world records,
including the world record for the most world records.
Oh, yes.
We've come across Ashrida's fantastic work before.
I'm a big fan.
Some sort of a hero to you?
Yes, I look up to him in every way.
Pearson said after the run, I'm pretty stoked to take it.
I never thought my first world record would be in the egg and spoon.
Guinness World Record spokesman Chris Sheedy told the Daily Telegraph,
I think that one will stand for a while.
Yeah, that's really got to run pretty quick to catch up.
And he's 68 years old now.
All right.
The answers are in.
Is yours good, Dave?
Yeah, I've seen the movie.
It's my favourite, so I know the answer.
But then you have to put in a convincing fake answer.
I have misunderstood the game.
It's too late.
Here is question number three.
What was the name of the character that George Lucas portrayed
in Star Wars Revenge of the Sith?
Jengot Castle?
Vending Machine Repairman?
Omar Degrass?
Omar Degrass.
Baron Papanoida?
Or Reg Grundos?
They're all fantastic.
Baron Papanoida.
Where does he get his ideas?
I assume he named himself.
I'll do this role.
He went through the full casting process.
Can we have them again?
Jengot Kessel. Vending Machine Repairman, Omar De Graz,
Baron Papanoida, Reg Grundos.
Do you know the answer?
Yeah.
Do you?
Did you hear the same answer twice?
That's the one.
Oh, I see.
Because I knew it.
I don't know.
But you get to go first, I believe.
Okay. What was the first one first, I believe. Okay.
What was the first one?
Changot Castle.
I think it's, I think, I mean, they're all pretty good.
It's probably not Vending Machine.
That would be so funny if it was.
It's so good.
But I don't, I mean, I'm not a huge Star Wars fan,
but, you know, I've seen bits and pieces
and I don't remember seeing vending machines.
So it's probably.
So you don't think they need repairing?
Exactly.
There'd be no need for a vending repair.
Well, if you look closely, he's confused.
He's already got his arms up going.
What do I fix?
He's wandering around the desk Looking for a vending machine
Sorry, can you tell me
Was there a canteen around here?
I'm assuming there would be a vending machine
Yeah, maybe the cantina
Yeah
I'm going to go the Baron one
Baron Papanoida
For Bob
I'm also going to go Baron Papanoida
Because it's my favourite name I've ever heard
It's really fun
Sometimes I get names stuck in my head
And I think this is going to be one of them.
Baron Papanoida.
That's very good.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
How do you spell Noida?
You're sure it's not?
N-O-I-D-A.
Omar de Grasse.
Omar de Grasse.
That's good.
The first one was good.
Jengot Seigel.
Jengot Kessel, I think.
Kessel.
That is good.
I should say, I don't know if I'm pronouncing any of these correctly.
I thought it also could be the vending machine repairman.
It could be vending McCain repairman.
I don't know.
It could be.
He's right.
Pronounce it wrong, idiot.
Okay, let's go through who wrote the answers.
Reg Grundos.
That was the house.
Outside of Australia it won't make much sense,
but it's sort of rhyming saying for underwear or Reg Grundy's.
Reg Grundy's.
He was a TV producer and somehow his name became synonymous with jocks.
I guess because Grundy's rhymes with undies.
But jocks is also going to be confusing for some.
Omar de Grasse, that was Bob, just Bob Perkins.
Honestly, that is convincing.
I panicked.
Vending machine repair man.
That was Dave.
No.
That was me.
Can you believe it's not real?
I can't.
So it's either Jengok Kessel or Baron Papanoida,
which I think probably most people would have assumed at first
that it was one of those two.
Jengok Kessel was written by Jim, such the house.
The correct answer is Baron Papanoida.
Baron Papanoida. Papano got it. Baron Papanoida.
Papanoida.
That's so.
That is great.
So Papanoida.
Can you change your name?
Can I change my name?
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, absolutely you can.
That's one of the Dave rules.
Dave Papanoida.
So one point to Jesse, one point to Dave, none to the house,
any to the Dave here.
I don't know if the Dave did much there.
Yeah, no, not this round.
Sorry, the Dave.
Oh, okay.
I'd advocate for a point for him.
Why?
I just thought he did a lot.
Who is he?
What's happening?
But, like, do you not want everybody to be kind of tied?
You want to lose.
Okay, yeah, two points to the Dave the day oh wow okay i was only saying one
no because you fought it split the difference one and a half no you're being a butthead it's two to
the day two to the day okay okay well i'm confused and listeners at home uh don't worry about this
nonsense um just forget that the daves it's hard to forget such a charismatic presence so a quick
score update we've got the house on one we've got dave on two we've got jess on three but having the
lead it's the dave on four what a guy like a real fan favorite of the people's champion the dave
new listeners are gonna be baffled i be confused. Why are they starting with this episode if they're a new listener?
Why are we the last one in the feed?
I don't know.
But we're on the first step.
If you come and listen for us, and I assume you are,
go listen to the first one.
I think this is easier for new listeners because they go,
oh, I guess this is a weird thing to do.
Old listeners, 15 in the-
They've never mentioned The Dave before.
People might be coming because they've seen the show featured
on Apple Podcasts under the shows they loved of 2022.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
What an achievement.
I just wanted to plug.
That's genuinely a great thing.
Oh, yeah, it was dope.
So you pressed about that?
I got an email about it.
I'm like, holy moly.
I'd frame that email.
Was it from Steve Jobs?
It was from Jobsy, yeah.
Wow.
Incredible.
Got his hands on.
He was so ahead of his time.
He was sending emails before he even passed.
Amazing stuff.
Oh, Dave.
In the future.
You can't tell someone bad news like that so casually.
Okay.
Jobsy.
Before he passed by.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, while he was moving.
He was riding on an iPod.
Oh, okay.
She was on an iPod Nano sending emails.
Incredible.
That is good.
Question number four is up next.
This one comes from Kirk Reitmeier from Calgary in Alberta, Canada.
And the question is, apart from playing Montgomery Scott on Star Trek,
what was James Doohan known for?
Apart from playing Montgomery Scott on Star Trek,
what was James Doohan known for?
Doohan.
What was he doing?
James Doohan. James, yeah. And. What was he doing? James Doohan.
James, yeah.
And what's his character, Montgomery Scott?
Montgomery Scotty.
Beam me up, Scotty, on the original TV show.
So back in the old days.
James Doohan.
How do you spell his last name?
D-O-O-H-A-N.
That is not on.
No, I'm not.
I was just, Doohan. Yeah. Okay. Like Mick Do'm not. I was just doing.
Yeah.
Okay.
Like Mick doing.
Sure.
Does that help?
No, I'd still be saying how do you spell that?
Have you already written your answer?
Yeah.
You're a freak.
I know what he did.
Dave, you're supposed to come up with convincing fake answers.
Yeah, I specify that very clearly, fake answers.
Baron Papanoida.
Baron, sorry, Dave, let me tell you a little bit more about Baron Papanoida.
I want to hear so much more about this.
Adam King wrote, who was one of the question writers,
I always remember the name Baron Papanoida because it sounds like George
named himself after three pizza brand mascots,
the Red Baron, Papa John and the Noid.
What's the Noid?
The Noid I think was a big maybe Domino's.
It was never made it over here, but, yeah,
it's in the do-go-on hat as a suggested topic.
Yeah, Domino's pizza crowd in the 80s.
But apparently there's a wild story there.
Anyway, Jim Bates, the other question writer,
wrote that Jengok Kessel, he wrote that option,
translates to tiny beard in Indonesian.
No.
That's great.
That was very convincing.
Yeah, it worked out perfectly.
But, yeah, I used to, for a little while, I was big on George Lucas' beard.
You talked about that quite a while.
It doesn't.
It's too small.
It's a tiny beard.
Anyway, according to Screen Rant, Baron Papanoida's debut was in Revenge
of the Sith but was easy to miss.
Easy to miss.
Oh, God.
On Coruscant.
What did you call me?
Just before Anakin and Palpatine have their conversation
about Darth Plagueis the Wise.
I remember this scene.
The Baron can be seen in the hallway of the Opera House accompanied Macon and Palpatine have their conversation about Darth Plagueis the Wise. I remember this scene.
The Baron can be seen in the hallway of the opera house accompanied by his daughter, Senator Chi Ikwe, who was appropriately played
by Katie Lucas, one of George Lucas' daughters.
There was originally conflicting information regarding their species
before an episode of The Clone Wars confirmed it to be Pantoran.
What do you think?
Too small?
Yeah.
Jess is looking at the beard.
Yeah.
It's a tiny beard.
It's too small.
And what about you?
Look up his character, Baron Pepinoida.
He looks pretty funny.
The Baron's first name, how funny is this?
Initially his first name, the character's first name
was Not-Lewisky.
Not-Lewiski Papanoida.
Yeah.
But that has since been changed by Disney since they've taken over,
apparently.
What?
Disney can just change names of insignificant characters?
The character was later revived for a role in the animated series
The Clone Wars.
He was like a more key character in one episode.
So an animated version of George Lucas is a bit of fun.
That is cool.
Baron Pippinoyda.
All right.
The answers are in.
So here is question number five.
Apart from playing Montgomery Scott on Star Trek,
what was James Doohan known for?
Here are your five options.
Inventing the forepen.
He served as a pilot during World War II,
including the D-Day invasion of Normandy.
Inventing a water filter that fit into any drinking receptacle,
he was a motivational speaker with the catchphrase,
don't think Han, do Han.
Or he invented jorts.
So just confirm, is that jean shorts?
Jean shorts, yes.
That's right.
And again, water contribution.
Can we have those again?
Inventing the four pen, serving in World War II, including D-Day.
Inventing a water filter that fit into any drinking receptacle.
Was a motivational speaker with the catchphrase,
don't think Ann, do Ann.
Or he invented jorts.
I don't think it's my-
No, you're going first, so I'm not going to reason.
You don't think what?
I'm not going to reason through it with you because we are mortal enemies.
Gosh, you got competitive.
Okay.
Well, I'm not having fun.
I'm thinking-
So I may as well come here to win.
That's for sure.
So beam me up, Scotty.
What's this, an early 60s show?
Yeah, I guess so.
Trying to get an age for this guy.
And was he like too old to be a World War II pilot?
Too young, rather?
15 plus.
I suppose he could be late 30s.
Maybe he was a pilot right at the end.
Okay.
Jean Shorts, when did they come into fashion?
I'd say more recently.
Another 50s.
Star Trek, it looks like it was in the 60s.
But, you know, was Scotty an old man?
Yeah, I've never, I haven't seen any of, I've seen the recent movies,
but I haven't seen any of the TV shows.
I don't really know either, but I'm guessing he's late 30s.
Okay.
And then Don't Think Hand, Do Hand. Yeah, I think I mispronounced. Don't Think Hand, Do I'm guessing he's late 30s. Okay. And then don't think hand, do hand.
Yeah, I think I mispronounced.
Don't think hand, do hand because his name is Doohan, right?
James Doohan.
I get it now.
You didn't get it the whole time.
I did not get it before.
I was like, who's hand?
You said don't think hand, do hand.
I was like, who's hand?
I was like, okay.
Sorry, I'm a little bit slower than usual.
What the fuck is hand?
This motivation only works for a very specific person.
And hand's not that common a name.
And then the other two are inventions.
A pen or a water filter.
Pen, water filter or jorts.
Or jorts.
Hmm.
You're doing a funny little thing with your mouth there.
He's doing a thinking lip.
That's weird.
That's weird and creepy, isn't it?
Sorry, I've just, I've recently had a very sore and infected lip
and it's come good now.
I'm just enjoying it.
Enjoy those lips, baby.
I'm going to say.
We sure are.
It's much nicer to look at than last week.
I'm going to say the
World War II pilot. World War II pilot.
Yeah, a bit of a mad dog. What about you,
Boppa? I was also going to say
World War II pilot. You do it
in sync at the moment. Stop copying
me. I won't.
And what's the Dave putting it?
He keeps getting points without doing anything.
Without do hand.
The Dave says jorts.
Jorts, yeah.
I reckon the Dave would lock in jorts.
Jorts, okay.
A new rule for the Dave.
He loses a point if he's wrong.
All right.
What?
I'm sorry.
Okay, but he gets two points if he's wrong as well.
So he goes up by one.
All right, let's go through the answers.
He was a motivational speaker with the catchphrase,
don't think and do and.
That was the house.
No shit.
You came up with that?
You couldn't even say it?
No.
As I read it out, I'm like, that's not right.
Don't think and, do and.
That sounds wrong.
Do and.
His name's Do and not Do Han. Damn it. Do Han. Otherwise, would you have guessed it if I said it out, I'm like, that's not right. Dohan. That sounds wrong. Dohan. His name's Dohan, not Dohan.
Damn it.
Dohan.
Otherwise, would you have guessed it if I said it right?
No.
Motivational speaker, I was like, oh, yes, I can see that.
And then the catchphrase, I was like, nope.
Inventing a water filter that fit into any drinking receptacle.
That was Jess.
Oh, that's very believable.
Yeah, I know.
Well done.
Inventing the four-point pen, the four-pen, sorry, was Dave.
I reckon Jess would have gone for that if you didn't fuck it up
and say four-point pen.
What are you talking about?
Oh, yeah, four-pen.
What is a four-point?
Why did I say four-point pen?
It's ball-point pen.
What was your – I don't call it a four-pen.
What do you call it?
Yeah, it's a four-pen, the blue, green, black and red.
I know what it is, but I don't call it a four-pen.
That's called a four-pen. I'm aware of what it is. But I don't call it a four pen. That's called a four pen.
I'm aware of what it is.
No, but that's what it's called.
I'm saying I don't call it a four pen.
It didn't sound right to me as well.
That's why my brain wanted to add a word in.
Do we call them four colour pens or something?
Yeah.
The Dave would like to issue an apology on my behalf.
Why?
Bic sometimes also call it the four colour.
Is that what you're thinking of?
Yeah, I reckon the four colour pen.
I mean, I literally said four colour pen.
Yeah.
And now you're saying, is that what you're thinking of?
It's what I said earlier.
He invented jorts.
That was also written by the house.
Meaning the correct answer is he served as a pilot during World War II.
Yes.
Well done.
You two are on fire.
So negative two for the Dave.
Negative two? One point for So negative two for the Dave. Negative two?
One point for Jess, one point for Dave.
I can't be beaten by the Dave.
He doesn't exist.
Oh, that's what this is about.
You don't want to lose to the Dave.
The Dave.
I'm manufacturing the Dave ends on zero.
I just wanted this Dave to lose to the Dave.
Oh, okay.
That's pretty fun actually.
But unfortunately the Dave's doing.
So the house is spiteful, is it?
Okay, this spiteful house.
Okay, Dave, now it's you and I against the house, okay?
Oh, no.
What about the Dave?
I'm already losing by so much.
The Dave is dead in the water.
The house is going to attack the Dave.
The quick score update, in fourth spot it's the is going to attack the Dave. The quick score update. In fourth
spot, it's the house on one.
The Dave on two.
Is that with the minuses? That's with the minuses.
Still beating me.
Dave on three in second place. But out
in front, it's Jess on four points.
Well done. Four colour points.
And now we're up to question number
five. Only three questions to go, but it is
anyone's game, although it's quickly getting out of my reach.
This one comes from Laura from Canberra who wrote the following question.
What did Cher tweet on July the 13th, 2012?
What did Cher tweet?
I always find it hard to say her name.
C-H-E-R.
Is that Cher?
Yeah, people say Cher.
People say it like Cher.
What did Cher say?
Her real name is Cherilyn.
I say Cher.
So that's how I remember it because you wouldn't say Cherilyn.
Unless her name was Cherilyn.
Oh, dear.
This is the four point all over again.
Four point.
Four point.
Fuck.
I think people understand what you mean.
I generally say Cher.
Great.
All right.
So while you're writing your answers,
here's some more info about the James Doohan D-Day story.
The first Canadians reached Juneau Beach at 7.35am and were cut down.
After two hours, they had swept aside most of the Germans
on their stretch of the beach.
This comes from War History Online.
Doohan led his men across the sands and got lucky.
Despite the anti-tank mines beneath their feet,
so they're arriving on the beach on D-Day.
They're having a run over anti-tank mines,
but luckily none of them went off as the men were not heavy enough
to activate them.
Oh, thank God.
As they made their way to high ground,
Doohan managed to take out two German snipers.
By noon, they had secured their positions.
They could rest as well as deal with their dead and wounded.
At about 11.20 that evening, Doohan finished a cigarette
and padded the silver cigarette case he kept in his breast pocket.
It had been given to him by his brother as a good luck charm
and a good thing too.
Some ten minutes later, he was walking back to his command post
when he was shot six times by a Bren gun.
The first four bullets slammed into his leg,
the fourth whacked him in the chest,
while the sixth took off his right middle finger.
It was not a German sniper though.
He had been shot by a nervous, trigger-happy Canadian sentry.
Fortunately, the cigarette case stopped the bullet aimed at his chest.
Doohan later joked that it was the only time being a smoker saved his life.
Whoa.
So I saw a photo.
He would hide his hand in shots.
He would try to but there's a couple of shots where you can see his hand
and it's missing the middle finger there.
Whoa.
Yeah, he was very sort of casual about it all and he's like,
you know, I didn't even realise I'd been shot in the legs until later.
You know, I wasn't a hero or anything.
I wasn't being that tough or anything.
He's like, I'm not sure if I actually got those snipers.
But apparently, you know.
Wow.
So he's pretty humble about it all.
I guess you also maybe would want to downplay killing people, I suppose,
even if they are Nazis.
Nazis.
Nazis.
Care for a Nazi?
Was that on this show?
No.
No, that was Diggle On.
Diggle On.
Very funny.
English people say Nazis and we thought that sounds like a bit of a pastry
or a chocolate biscuit.
Tea and a Nazi.
Open a pack of Nazis?
Are you stopping me for long?
I'm going to go grab some Nazis.
All right.
So your answers are in.
Here's question number five.
What did Cher tweet on July the 13th, 2012?
Porcupines are a bit of fun.
They are.
WTF is MDNA.
I'm currently trapped in a lift.
Send help and send candy.
XO, Cher.
Lyrics to Turn Back Time.
Like she's Googling her.
Or I want to take back what I said.
There is no life after love.
Okay.
So Cher tweeted one of these things, July 13th, 2012.
Porcupines are a bit of fun.
WTF is MDNA.
What's the second?
NDNA?
MDNA.
I'm currently trapped in a lift.
Send help and send candy.
XO.
Cher.
Lyrics to turn back time.
Or I want to take back what I said.
There is no life after love.
Is is capitalised.
Whose turn is it here?
Mine, I think.
What do you think of her?
I do rather enjoy the idea of Cher stuck in a lift.
Although I assume, you know, she'd always have people around her.
She'd have a team with her. Yes, but maybe the whole team's trapped although I assume, you know, she'd always have people around her. She'd have a team with her.
Yes, but maybe the whole team's trapped in a lift
and she's making fun of the situation or something.
I also love, yeah, so, you know, she might not understand Twitter
but you've got to specify what lift if you want people to go and help you.
Yeah, but then if she says what lift she's in on Twitter,
then everybody's going to go, you know.
But there's also, you know, she's just having a bit of fun.
Maybe.
Sometimes people tweet things that aren't meant to be taken seriously.
Oh, no, no.
Every tweet I've ever read I've taken very unironically and it's word.
Absolutely.
And that's, I believe, the intention of Twitter.
That's the way to live.
That's a good point.
I think Turn Back Time lyrics is pretty funny.
Is that what it was?
Lyrics to Turn Back Time.
That's pretty funny.
I think she knows.
And the last one.
I want to take back what I said.
There is no laugh after love.
Do you believe in life after love? Probably just a bit of a joke. Yeah, but she says, do you believe in life after love because probably just a bit of a joke yeah but she says
do you believe right she doesn't say i believe in life life after love uh i think one of the
verses she yeah i always assumed that she was it was more rhetorical i kind of feel like she's
saying do you also believe in life after love i can feel something inside me
saying i really don't think it's strong enough i'm trying to figure out the words no hmm um i'm gonna
say lyrics to turn back time it's turn back time for bop what about you dave and what's the ndna
one uh wtf is MDNA.
What the fuck is, what does MDNA stand for?
Well, that's exactly what she's asking.
Dave, you've got to get on Twitter if you want to find these sort of answers.
That sounds like a bizarre thing.
Is there any emojis in there?
She does love a bit of an emoji. Like her emoji work is like off the charts, but maybe not 10 years ago.
None of these have emojis.
The closest is XO, which is on the third option
about being trapped in a lift.
Okay.
I'm going to say WTF is MDNA and hopefully you'll clear that up.
Okay.
Locking that in.
All right.
Here's who wrote the answers.
Porcupines are a bit of fun.
That was the house.
That is funny.
I want to take back what I said.
There is no life after love.
That was Jess.
Funnily enough, that was pretty similar to something that Laura had
and that's why I had to quickly delete it.
The first thing that came to my mind was porcupines are a bit of fun.
Oh, you do that on the fly.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why it was terrible.
Yeah.
Well, one of the reasons.
Because sometimes I have a bit of time and they're still pretty bad.
I'm currently trapped in a lift.
Send help.
That was Dave.
Yes.
Lyrics to Turn Back Time.
That was the house.
Huh?
That one wasn't terrible.
Oh, I'm sorry, Jess.
Why are you yelling at me?
Sorry, Jess.
It's quite different from this episode.
I think the Dave beating The House has really rocked Matt.
The House is really struggling.
Yeah, I've never seen them lose.
Has The House ever come fourth before?
The House is made of straw, okay?
It's being huffed and puffed.
That means the correct answer is WTF is MDNA.
Yeah.
So one point to Dave there, one point to the house.
How many for the Dave?
The Dave gets three points.
I agree.
Three points to the house, are you sure?
Yes.
No, to the Dave.
To the Dave.
Sorry, yes.
What the hell?
Sneaky fuck.
You sneaky little fuck.
Well, if you.
Don't point your finger at me, young man.
You nearly said yes.
That's enough.
That's enough out of you.
You've got to pay attention to this cream.
I don't have to do anything.
All right, so that means.
It's cream.
The scores now are.
The house on two points.
Jess on four points. Jess on four points.
Dave on four points.
But in the front again somehow it's the Dave on five points.
I don't know how the Dave got three points there.
But you are really making an absolute mockery of this game,
which is a very serious game,
and I think people should really take it more seriously.
All right, Craig.
All right, so on to the second last question.
Question number six.
This one comes from Harris Dava from Sloth Citadel.
What?
I don't know.
What is that?
I Googled it and I'm not sure.
I couldn't figure out what it meant.
But question six is what happened in Seattle on September the 5th, 1928? What happened in Seattle on September the 5th, 1928?
What happened in Seattle on September the 5th, 1928?
While you're writing those answers, here's some more info on Cher's tweet.
Luckily, the Huffington Post reported on the incident.
WTF is MDNA, Cher tweeted Friday morning.
Thankfully, one of her Twitter followers was quick to respond.
MDNA is Madonna's new album title, but also a spin on the party drug MDMA, aka ecstasy,
to which Cher replied, how tasteful. But it didn't end there. After being asked whether or not she
liked Madonna, Cher responded, I respect her ability. She's a genius. Unfortunately, that
wasn't enough for Madonna fans who continued to defend
queen madge share then try to clarify things with this simple tweet didn't mean to show
didn't mean to throw shade on madge she's best at what she does called her bad called her bad
word once not nice okay didn't know mdna shoot me. I live in a cave. What?
Send candy.
So, yeah, I think people, Madonna fans,
took offence when she said how tasteful maybe.
I don't know.
But then she's like, hey, I don't know.
Don't get so offended.
Wow. I'm sorry I didn't know what MDNA meant.
And then after the Madonna drama ceased,
Cher promised to personally call Madge and straighten all of the Twitter hullabaloo out.
Cher stated Cher started to throw shade at a true target,
GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, tweeting,
can I not get on here without dissing someone by accident?
Really only ever wanted to throw shade on Mittens Robotny care, she tweeted.
Oh, my God, Cher.
What's going on?
Unfortunately, not everyone got the anti-Romney message when someone replied,
did Cher just call Brittany Robotny?
Oh, no.
And Cher replied, no, called Mittens Robotny care
Like to keep my insults straight
Asshole
Oh care gotcha
Like what
C-A-R-E
I don't understand what it means
What up care
Yeah I was confused about that
But when she was trying to like go
No I'm not calling Brittany Robotny.
I'm calling Robotny.
I'm calling Mittens Robotny.
What is going on?
Oxygen is running out in that lift, I think.
Here's question number six.
What happened in Seattle on September the 5th, 1928?
The KACL radio station is founded
The future home of the Dr. Frasier Crane show
A horse stampede resulted in the cancellation of the Great Seattle Rodeo
Ironically, the only casualty was a donkey
A law passed prohibiting dance marathons
A demonstration of teleportation technology fooled the local newspapers,
but it turned out it was a ruse by two identical twins.
Or Seattle PD officer Martin Crane married Hester Crane.
That's two Cranes.
Two Fraser ones.
What was the last one?
Seattle PD officer Martin Crane married Hester Crane.
Okay.
And that's a Fraser reference?
Well, it could be a coincidence, but Martin Crane married Hester Crane. Okay. And that's a Fraser reference? That's, well, it could be a coincidence,
but Martin Crane, Fraser's dad, was a retired police officer.
Right.
And he had an ugly chair.
He did have an ugly chair and a little Jack Russell. But he loved that chair.
He loved that chair.
I tell you what, Fraser didn't love that chair.
God, Fraser hated that chair.
Didn't go with his whole aesthetic.
He's not a good son.
Yeah.
But until sort of right towards the end of the episode normally.
Yeah.
Then he sort of has a lot of moments where he realises, hang on,
I'm getting a bit of clarity here.
They're a bit classless against their own dad.
Yeah.
Right.
Does he also have a bit of a creepy vibe?
He creeps me out a bit, that character.
Fraser? Yeah. Yeah.
Something about him. A bit pervy. Right, okay, yeah.
What about that dog?
Creepiest dog on TV. Oh, yeah. He'll hump
anyone's leg. What the fuck are you guys
talking about?
That dog's building orphanages.
That's a good dog. That is a good dog.
Hey, but does that undo some of his indiscretions?
Absolutely not.
So, Dave, I think it's your crack here.
Can we have them one more time, please?
The KACL radio station is founded,
the future home of the Dr. Frasier Crane Show.
A horse stampede resulted in the cancellation of the great Seattle Rodeo.
Ironically, the only casualty was a donkey.
A law was passed prohibiting dance marathons.
A demonstration of teleportation technology fooled the local newspapers,
but it turned out it was a ruse by two identical twins.
Or Seattle PD officer Martin Crane married Hester Crane.
Okay, I'm tempted by horse rodeo or twin rodeo.
Teleportation or horse.
They're my two.
Yep, yep.
I would agree with you there.
And I'm going to go with teleportation because I think people are a lot easier
to fool back in the day.
I'm going to go for the rodeo one.
Rodeo one for Bob.
Right, we've covered our bases.
Covered the spread.
All right. That's two out of five. We've covered our bases. Covered the spread.
All right.
That's two out of five.
The Dave locks in all the others.
Yeah, what's the Dave doing?
Dave's got all the others.
All the others.
Okay, so if the Dave's wrong, that's minus three.
All right, so let's go through who answered. You are so bitter.
I just think that's fair.
If he's going on the board.
It's not fair.
No, no, no, no, no.
Let's not forget it's minus three but then it's plus six.
No, no pluses.
Yeah, he loses one then pluses two.
You're such a sore loser.
Just lose to the day.
Lose to a thing that doesn't exist.
I know people who listen to this show.
Oh, purists.
They need the competition to be pure.
They can't have fake people.
I don't think they do, Matt.
This feels like a Matt project to his audience.
This is a Matt problem.
No, no, this is feedback I've had in 15 episodes that they're like,
hey, Matt, everything's going really great.
Just make sure you keep it nice and pure, hey?
That's ridiculous.
The KACL radio station is founded,
future home of the Dr. Frasier Crane show.
That was written by the house.
Oh.
Saddle PD, Officer Martin Crane married H Crane Show. That was written by the house. Seattle PD
Officer Martin Crane married Hester Crane. That was written
by Jess. I thought it was the other way around.
Then we had
a horse stampede resulted in the cancellation
of the great Seattle Rodeo.
That was Jess. That was Dave.
Dave.
Dave did the old
fool-a-roo there. I'm sorry, Jess, but I
just needed the point real bad.
A demonstration of teleportation technology fooled local newspapers.
That was the house.
No.
I'm sorry, Dave.
The correct answer was a law was passed prohibiting dance marathons.
Wow, that means the Dave gets a point.
Yeah.
Well done, the Dave.
Well done to the Dave.
When I was saying that, I thought I had you.
I thought I had a negative three there.
No, that's one point for the Dave.
One point for the Dave, yes.
One point for the house.
Wow, I really thought the Dan's Marathon.
I was like, that's the house for sure.
So, quick score update.
Going to the final round, we've got the house on three,
Jess and Dave on four, but the Dave out in front on six points.
Wow, two in front of us.
Yeah.
You've done this.
You did it to yourselves.
It should be one of you winning this.
I'm happy for the Dave.
Me too.
The Dave's not a thing.
What does it mean?
Jess and I hold up the Dave.
I love the Dave.
I'm hoping I can edit out all this talk of the Dave
and the Dave never existed.
The Dave, the Dave, the Dave, the Dave, the Dave.
Final question, number seven.
If this episode goes for any less than 57 minutes,
you've been cheated.
Let that bit out as well.
Damn it.
57 is the truth.
So up to question seven, the final question,
it comes from Tess Matthews from Manchester in the UK,
and the question is, we always finish with a film synopsis,
or we usually do anyway.
This time we need the synopsis of the 2016 film Carousel.
Carousel.
How do you spell that, please?
C-A-R-O-U-S-H-E-L-L.
Carousel.
Okay.
Carous.
Carousel.
Like carousel, but it's carousel?
Yeah.
What year was this again? 2016. Oh, it's carousel. Yeah. What year was this again?
2016.
Oh, it's a modern one.
Exactly.
I'm bad at these.
All right.
And while you're writing your answers down,
here's a bit more information about dance marathons from historylink.org.
And this is wild stuff.
I cannot believe this. It feels like there's a do-go.org. And this is wild stuff. Cannot believe this.
It feels like there's a Do Go On episode in this, I reckon.
Dance marathons, an American phenomenon of the 20s and 30s,
were human endurance contests in which couples danced almost nonstop
for hundreds of hours, as long as a month or two,
competing for prize money.
15 minutes each hour allotted for rest.
When the air horn signaling a rest period sounded, the contestants exited the dance floor for curtained off rest
areas filled with cots. These rest areas were segregated by sex. Contestants trained themselves
to drop instantly into deep sleep as soon as their bodies touched the cots. After eleven minutes,
the air horn sounded again,
and the contestants filed back onto the dance floor to begin another hour.
Female contestants who didn't wake at the end of the 11 minutes were revived with smelling salts
and slaps. The male contestants were often dunked in a tub of ice water. Seattle passed an ordinance
prohibiting dance marathons within city limits on september the 5th 1928 this ordinance was prompted by the near death of a seattle woman who had competed
in a 19-day marathon held in the seattle armory matt may i please ask a question of course could
you please read me the the question about the movie again. And in doing so, confirm the spelling, please.
What is the synopsis of the 2016 film Carousel?
Yep.
C-A-R-O-U-S.
Yep.
H-E-L-L.
Okay.
And like a separate word?
I've got it.
The H is capitalised.
Yeah, cool.
I think it is.
All right, great.
I've done it.
Thanks, Matt.
Hey, Matt.
Thank you.
Hey, thank you, Jess.
Dave.
Hello.
Go fuck yourself. Oh, Matt. Thank you. Hey, thank you, Jess. Dave. Hello. Go fuck yourself.
Oh, noted.
All right.
The answers are in.
Here is the final question.
What is the synopsis of the 2016 film Carousel?
Now, Jess and Dave, you're on equal points.
It's anyone's game here.
Particularly the Dave.
Oh, well, yeah, the Dave.
Come on, Dave. In its own race.
But I'm really focusing in on jess v dave v house what's the house again sorry house on three dave's on
four just on four this is anyone's game and the dave is on six the dave is on six
all right so here's the final question what is the synopsis of the 2016 film
caris hell teens in the sleepy town of Hobbs Hollow complain that there's never anything to do in their town.
Then the Halloween carnival comes to town and a group of friends decide to ride the carousel,
a decision they may not live to regret.
Oh.
Jim, a carnival worker, tempts people to ride the carousel after hours.
Little do they know it will be the last ride of their lives.
Duke, a carousel unicorn, breaks free of his carnival hell
and embarks on a bloody rampage of revenge on humanity.
Oh, my God.
A clown car crashes at a circus, killing 17 clowns.
Their souls haunt a fairground with a merry-go-round at the centre of the horror.
Or Caro is in over her head.
She's got bills to pay and despite saying she never would,
she's going to have to do the unthinkable,
take over her dad's close-up magic business.
This is Caro's Hell.
Can we have those again?
So you've got teens in the sleepy town of Hobbs Hollow
complain they never have anything to do,
but then the Halloween carnival comes to town
and they ride on the carousel, a decision they may not live to regret.
Then we've got Jim, carnival worker,
tempts people to ride the carousel after hours.
Little do they know it'll be the last ride of their life.
Was that too little do they knows?
Sorry, little do they know.
Was it the first one little do they know as well?
No.
And a group of friends decide a decision. No, it doesn't have a little Little do they know. But is the first one little do they know as well? No. And a group of friends decide a decision.
No, that doesn't have a little to do.
Okay.
Good, good.
That helped me.
Option three, Duke, a carousel unicorn,
breaks free of his carnival hell and embarks on a bloody rampage
of revenge on humanity.
That's pretty full on.
A clown car crashes at a circus killing 17 clowns.
Their souls haunt a fairground with a merry-go-round
at the centre of the horror.
Or Caro is in over her head.
She's got bills to pay.
Despite sanctioned Everwood, she's going to have to do the unthinkable.
Take over her dad's close-up magic business.
This is Caro's Hell.
That's very funny.
It's tough, isn't it?
Is it me?
I think so.
You've done three each now, so whoever's feeling it. You go, Dave isn't me uh it could be you've done 3h now so whoever's whoever's feeling
it you go dave let's talk it out together okay great can't wait because we don't want the house
to win and we do want the day for the day all right do you which one did you write
uh for me i'm the first time i heard Duke, I thought that was ridiculous.
It's a funny one.
But then I'm like, sometimes, like we've had a movie on this show before.
It was like a tire that went on a rampage.
That's right.
So there's some dumb movies out there.
That's true.
And they're usually the ones I pick.
Yeah.
But then the first one, it seemed quite well written,
like a believable movie.
And what's Hobbs Hollow?
Hobbs Hollow.
Hobbs Hollow, that sounds.
That's the sleepy town.
I don't know, what are you thinking?
I like it.
It is a nice sounding sleepy town.
Yeah, it sounds like a, I don't know, teen horror kind of movie.
But the second one's also, no, was the second one?
That's Jim the Carnival Worker.
Yeah, that one sounds kind of.
That could be believable.
Horror-ish as well.
You got the killer unicorn.
Yeah.
Then the clown car crashing and then the close-up.
I don't think it's Caro's Hell, but it's very good.
I like it too.
I quite like clown cars when they haunt.
It's not bad.
They're all dumb.
Are you horror fans?
No, absolutely not.
In no way ever.
Never.
I like them a little bit.
I watched the preview of Carrow's Hell yesterday.
Oh, you've.
And.
So it is called Carrow's Hell.
Carrow's Hell.
Sorry, Carrow's Hell.
Was that a giveaway there? No. He did just call it Carrow's Hell. Carousel. Sorry, Carousel. Was that a giveaway there?
No.
He did just call it Carrow's Hell.
Sorry.
No, that was just me misspeaking.
Okay.
Carousel.
Does it look like something you'd enjoy?
It was very silly.
I mean, all of these are pretty silly, but it was, yeah, it was fun.
It was a bit of fun.
I'm going to lock in Duke the Unicorn.
Okay.
I'm going to lock in Clown the unicorn. Okay. I'm going to lock in clown car.
Clown car for Jess.
And what is together?
I guess you've got to lock in the Dave.
The other three?
Yeah.
The other three for Dave.
So he gets negative two points every one he gets wrong.
All right, let's go through.
You've needed one for each one he gets wrong.
Unless he gets it right.
You've been giving him three points, two points on a whim. And you're taking him away on a whim. I've only taken two points off him. it right. Such a sore loser. You've been giving him three points, two points on a whim.
And you're taking him away on a whim.
I've only taken two points off him.
All right, can we take two points off the house for this?
No.
Yeah, two points from the house.
Minus two.
All right, let's go through the answers.
And you've locked them in.
You're happy?
Yep.
Duke and Clown Car.
And the other three for the Dave.
So the Hobbs Hollow Sleepy Town, that was Jess.
Oh, it's good.
Well done.
When I said very well written, congratulations.
Thank you so much.
I assumed that you'd done Caro's Hell because you asked
how Caro's Hell is spelled.
It was because I wasn't listening when Matt first started the question.
No, Hobbs, brilliant.
Hobbs Hollow.
I think that's one of your great trademarks, Jess,
for this round is you'll put in a great,
either a great character name or a place name.
Yeah.
I was enjoying it very much.
Hobbs Hollow.
Hobbs Hollow, fantastic.
Or a job.
I remember on one episode you said a dentist.
Yeah.
Gary Pacemaker, a dentist.
A dentist, I cracked up at that.
Then we had Jim, the carnival worker.
Attempts to be able to ride the carousel after hours.
That was The House.
That one was written by Tess Matthews.
Closing in here.
Then we had Caro is in and over her head.
Ends up having to do close-up magic.
That is The House.
Great work.
That's very funny.
Clown card.
This is what Jess picked.
That was Dave.
So a point to Dave there, meaning that Dave is also correct.
Duke, a carousel unicorn breaks free of his carnival hell
and embarks on a bloody rampage of revenge on humanity.
I think I realised as I was saying I watched the preview
that I probably gave a bit more than I should have there
and that's what made you think because I said it was a bit of silly fun.
You said it was a bit.
But then they all sound silly fun, don't they? yeah that's yeah i tried to i tried to talk less
you really should say less uh so that's two points to dave negative three to the day
such a sore loser no this is good no this is good. So the final scores are The House, three points.
The Dave, also on three points.
Jess in second place on four points.
But out in front, it's Dave on six points.
Thanks, everyone.
I'd like to donate all six points to The Dave,
taking him to a total of nine points.
Yes, The Dave!
The Dave did it!
The Dave did it!
Nine points. Is that the Dave! The Dave did it! The Dave did it! Nine points.
Is that the highest score ever?
No, but it is annoyingly high for someone who doesn't exist.
If anyone's keeping the spreadsheet at home,
please mark down the Dave as nine and myself as zero.
I would also like to donate my points to the Dave.
Wow.
Wow, I've bumped up a second spot. Go to the house. points to the Dave. Wow. Wow, I've bumped up to second spot.
Go to the house.
Go to the house.
Well, the Dave's still on 13 now.
Absolutely smashed to the house.
Yes.
Well done, the Dave.
Well done, the Dave.
I'm just writing a new rule into my rule spreadsheet.
Oh, no, fake character points have to go to the house.
Oh, no, I get all of the points.
From next week on, it's fine.
But this week, the day absolutely rains.
I'm so happy for the day.
Me too.
Well done, the Dave.
Oh, now he's on to the Dave.
No, honestly, it was a bit of fun.
I thought I was building up a bit of a the house versus the Dave thing.
But in the end, I love the Dave.
You were just being a straight up villain and everybody hates you.
Everyone loves the Dave. Everyone loves the Dave. You were just being a straight-up villain and everybody hates you. Everyone loves the Dave.
Everyone loves the Dave and we're mad at you.
I'm picturing the Dave as being like a little ventriloquist dummy.
The Dave.
I'm the Dave.
Yeah, that's probably about right.
So I could only find two critic reviews of the movie on Rotten Tomatoes,
but they are both positive.
Really?
It's pretty recent too, is it 2016?
2016.
And I'm like, is it animated or what?
But it looks like they've just used camera tricks to sort of,
it's just like someone's holding a carousel unicorn off screen
sort of bouncing around.
It's very low budget.
And then it somehow is putting axes into people's heads.
Sure.
That's the best.
I feel like I could almost watch it.
But, I mean, the preview was probably enough.
So here's a couple of the quick points from the scripts.
Norman Gidney from Horror Buzz wrote,
the script by Rudzinski and co-writer Aline Isley is broad, surreal
and ludicrously silly.
And Felix Vasquez Jr. from Cinema Craze said,
a fun and funny horror comedy that thrives on originality.
The only quote from the film that was on IMDb was,
you have to be this tall to die.
Oh, that's awesome.
Bit of fun.
Yeah, so final score check. So you're giving all your
points to
the Dave.
So the Dave's on 13.
So we've got
in equal third
we've got Jess on no points
and Dave on no points.
And in second place we've got the house on three
points but way out in front it's the Dave on no points. And in second place, we've got the house on three points, but way out in front, it's the Dave on 13 points.
13 points.
That's got to be the highest score ever.
The Dave.
Now that they've been placated, the real winner was just normal Dave
on six points.
Listen, that's okay.
Boo.
Now where can people find you two?
They can find me bloody shoving your head in a toilet.
That's where they can find me.
No, no.
Just go look at a toilet.
I'm probably there shoving Matt's head in.
But, no, you can listen to the Do Go On podcast
and also Simply the Jest.
You can find me at Jess Perkins on Instagram.
And at the Melbourne Comedy Festival coming up in March.
Yep, yeah.
Watch the show.
Oh, look.
Oh, just look up Jess Perkins in the guide.
You'll find her.
And Dave, what about you?
Hey, you can find me on Do Go On as well,
but also the Book Cheat podcast.
And I'm doing a show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival
and Adelaide Fringe Festival, possibly more places to be confirmed,
a show called Even Hotter in Real Life.
It's good.
It's very good.
Thank you.
Because he is, you see. Exactly. You've got to see this to believe it. It's good. It's very good. Thank you. Because he is, you see.
Exactly.
You've got to see this to believe it.
Funny because it's true.
Not to objectify him, but Dave, in photos.
Exactly.
Pix just won't do this guy justice.
Not photogenic.
But IRL?
IRL.
Oh, my goodness.
Super hunk.
Bonus city.
Yeah.
Sorry I said that, Dave.
And you can see me.
I'm in Adelaide before or after you, Dave.

My show's called Ding,
and it's also the Melbourne Comedy Festival at the Chinese Museum.
Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
We are a new show.
It would be great if you could help get the word out there.
Please give us a five-star review and tell your friends
if you think you know anyone who might enjoy it.
Cheers for tuning in to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart.
And now that you know it, I've been Matt Stewart.
Goodbye.
Bye.
The Dave.
The Dave.
Woo. 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
