Welcome to Who Knew with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart and our first guest this week is from Sants Pants Radio.
Starting point is 00:01:10 It's Cass Page. Welcome, Cass. I like how you said titular. It sounded like you were going to say, I'm Matt Stewart and I'm the tits. I am also the tits. I feel like I would pronounce that titular. Titular. Titular. Not titular? Yeah. Do you have a go that titular. Titular. Titular. Not titular?
Starting point is 00:01:25 Yeah. No. Do you have a go at saying it? Titular. No, no. Our way. Oh, yeah. Titular.
Starting point is 00:01:32 It's a bit fun, yeah. Titular. Titular. Our second guest this week is host of the Two in the Think Tank podcast. It's Alistair Tremblay-Birchall. Hello, Matthew. I like the way you say titular. Oh, thanks so much.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Alright, so 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 I have to guess which one is correct. Okay, are we ready to play? Yes. I just got ready.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Oh, fantastic. Great timing. Question number one comes from listener Katie O'Dea from Cork in Ireland. And the question is, in the Irish language, the word for a ladybird is boheen day, which literally translates to what? In the Irish language, the word for ladybird is boheen day, which literally translates to what? Now, while they're writing their answers, I'll explain how the scoring works to the listeners at home. You get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point
Starting point is 00:02:36 if you correctly guess the answer. By the way, I'm also playing as the house. I've put in two of my own fake answers with the help of the question writers and collectively we become the house. I've put in two of my own fake answers with the help of the question writers. Collectively, we become the house. So we get a point for each one of those that our guests choose as well. So each of us can score up to two points per round. Seems fair, but the probability actually favors us, the house.
Starting point is 00:02:58 And the house always wins. Oh, no spoilers. No spoilers. All right. Well, I should probably tell you it's been months since the house has won. But anyway, our questions come from our great Patreon supporters. And if you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com
Starting point is 00:03:13 slash do go on pod, which is the podcast network we're in, which is linked in the show notes. Are you the do, the go, or the on? On the logo? No, spiritually. Oh, spiritually. In your soul, which of the three are you? I feel like you would be able to tell me this better than I would be able to tell myself.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Fuck, marry, kill, do, go, on. Okay. Fuck, do. Yeah, you got to fuck, do. Marry, go, kill, on. Yeah, absolutely. It sucks that that's the order. I really didn't think about it what
Starting point is 00:03:46 about you fuck marry kill to go on let's see okay um you know what i think i would marry on really yeah i would marry on and i would fuck go but i would kill do you'd kill dude yeah do is my favorite do do is always like you know renovating on the weekends and things like that it's just not my vibe oh really whereas on is sort of laying on the couch uh with a bong and while i don't really partake that much these days or you know uh i you know i i like hanging out with that vibe yeah that's a good vibe is that what you're Yeah. That wasn't... You bong it on. Yeah. I'm bonging on.
Starting point is 00:04:28 All right. The answers are in for question one. So let's go back to it. In the Irish language, the word for ladybird is boende, which literally translates to what? Winged poppy? Flower nuisance? God's little cow?
Starting point is 00:04:42 The flying spots? Or disappointing butterfly? God's little cow, the flying spots, or disappointing butterfly. God's little cow. Oh, Moose. That's beautiful, God's little cow. Do you need to hear them again? I would love to hear them again, please. So we've got winged poppy, flower nuisance, God's little cow,
Starting point is 00:05:02 the flying spots, or disappointing butterfly. In Ireland, apparently, they call them ladybirds. Maybe in the UK as well. And in America, maybe they call them ladybugs. I reckon I've heard both of them growing up. Yeah. I grew up with ladybug. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Very familiar with that terminology. And ladybird, while I am familiar with it, still find it hard to justify mentally. No, lady, not a bird. Well, some of them got to be ladies. Some of them got to be ladies. At least with ladybug, you're 50% to 100% correct at any given moment. Yeah, yeah. But, I mean, you know, the Irish are even further off
Starting point is 00:05:38 because they could be calling it a cow or a little turd or whatever it was. Poppy. Flying turd. A little piece of shit. Flying turd. There was no turds. Yeah, a little piece of shit. Airborne poop. That wasn't one. Unless you think of spots as turds.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Oh, the way I do it, yeah. All right, do you want to lock in an answer? Let's see. I mean, I do like the poppy one. So you've got winged poppy. Winged poppy for me. I would call it winged pappy. But of course, I think it's probably more reference to the flower
Starting point is 00:06:14 rather than the grandfather. Yes, that's right. And you'd be lowering your odds even further from lady to pappy. That's true. Yeah, no, you're right. So I'm going to go with the poppy one. I kept there. I'm going to go with the poppy one. Okay. There.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yeah. Rather than the. I'm going to go my own way. What about you, Cass? Look, I was going to go with winged poppy, but we are enemies in this field. So, in this arena, this battlefield. Of course, you can pick the same answer if you want, but yeah. Oh, but at what cost?
Starting point is 00:06:42 I'm going to go with God's little cat. Because I want that to be right fantastic all right this is who wrote the answers katie the question writer wrote a disappointing butterfly which i thought was i thought that was good yeah the flying spots that was by alistair so you misremembered your own one there when you called it the flying turds no i know yeah maybe i'm you know, I'm playing a real deeply psychological game here. Maybe I'm smart.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Maybe I'm dumb. You don't know. Who knows? Flower nuisance was Cass. Very good. Winged poppy was also Katie slash the house. Meaning God's little cow is correct. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:07:22 This is the happiest day of my life. Oh my God. I picked this question specifically because i thought you would enjoy it i mean that's so good and this is actually because cast just told us a story that once she went uh to horse racing i did and one based on picking the the names that she liked the most i did did. And I feel like you are- I swept up the ponies. You are currently playing the game that is best suited to that kind of luck. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Yeah. I will say that I no longer bet on horses. This was many years ago. Sure. I mean, but what I'm complimenting is your fantastic year. Yeah, I quit on top and now I'm using all my phenomenal gambling skills to win this.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Yeah. The most valuable prize of all. I should say you've both won on this show before as well. Oh, hi. That's great to hear. Oh, that's really lifting my spirits. I think you do. In my notes it says that you have.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Yeah, great. I'll take it. All right. Here is question number two. This one comes from Adam King from Brooklyn in New York. And Adam's written in brackets, forget about it. Aw. So beautiful. I'll never forget about you.
Starting point is 00:08:32 And Adam's question is, what was the unusual name of the fourth shortest serving prime minister of the United Kingdom? It's a very clumsily written question. I've rewritten it to make it more, make it a harder question, but it's ended up sounding more confusing. I apologise, Adam, for butchering your question. But anyway, what was the unusual name of the fourth shortest serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom? Basically you're making up an old UK Prime Minister's name, but it's unusual. Yes, okay. I've never heard of a person named this before. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:09:05 And while you're writing your answers, here is some more information on bowing days. I'm saying it worse each time. I played the phonetic pronunciation before and I've lost it. Bowing days. According to Wiktionary, you can break it down like this. Bow is cow. In is the diminutive suffix.
Starting point is 00:09:26 So that's why it gets little cow. And day is of God. So literally God's little cow. Katie wrote the Polish, Russian and Welsh words for ladybird translate to godly little cow or short red cow. Short? Short is the answer? Yeah, my first thought when I look at one of those beautiful tiny ladybugs, I was like, oh, a bit short.
Starting point is 00:09:50 A bit short. Where are the gams on that thing? Get them up. I wonder how nice their legs are if you zoom in, though. Oh, yeah. Yeah? Well, maybe that's why they're called the ladybug. That's right. There's got to be something about it.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Well, I'm about to explain that if you like, but your riff is way more fun. We would never get in the way of the house's facts. Still, whenever hosting a podcast, I do nothing better than trample on people's riffs. Oh, yeah. You've got to squish them with your gorgeous gams. It's more like the house train just plowing us down. I do want to know why it's more like the house train just plowing us down. I do want to know why it's called a ladybird. So, Katie continues,
Starting point is 00:10:33 the lady in the English ladybird refers not just to any lady, but to the Virgin Mary. Allegedly because the most common type of ladybird has seven spots and the number seven is associated with Mary, as is the colour red. The original English term was Our Lady's Bird, which turned into Lady Bird or Lady Bug in the United States. Doesn't explain bird. No. Our Lady's Bird, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Science wasn't that developed at the time. They're like, look at this short bird. Oh, wings? Done. Yeah. I guess as a bird, it's pretty short. Which bit of red is associated with her? Like what's the red that's associated with Mary?
Starting point is 00:11:10 Yeah. I'm wondering why Mary would be. I reckon all the pictures I've seen of her, she's wearing a blue robe. It's blue. It's very blue. Yeah. Light blue. Quite a beautiful sky blue.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Yeah. Which is where I guess you find a lot of. Well, that's where she ended up, isn't it? Birds. Oh, yeah. In the sky blue. In the color sky blue yeah which is you know where i guess you find a lot of well that's where she ended up isn't birds oh in the sky blue in the color sky blue heavens in the sky isn't it isn't that where she lives i mean for me i think that it's like dark matter it's probably everywhere heavens all around us it passes through us we have dead people passing through us right now good dead people oh Oh, thank God. Where are the bad ones?
Starting point is 00:11:49 They exist in a very small spot, like smaller than the head of a pin. And they're all compressed in there and that's why it's so hot. All right, the answers are in for question number two. So here it is. What was the unusual name of the fourth shortest serving prime minister of the United Kingdom? Here are your five options bag o chips burlington snackle grot bonar law
Starting point is 00:12:14 warble pucker or jacques fellatio these are all great fun and one of them's real it's so great that one of these is real, isn't it? It's really lovely. Can I please get those one more time? What was the first one? Wank off? What? You're hearing your own second set of options.
Starting point is 00:12:35 The first one was bag of chips. Bag of chips. And you're hearing wank off? Wank off. I mean, it's a lot of the same letters. Yeah. Then we had Burlington Snacklegrot, Bonalore, Warblepucka, or Jacques Falacio. Cass, do you want to have first crack this time?
Starting point is 00:12:51 Oh, I'm going Snacklegrot. Snacklegrot. Yep. Locking in Snacklegrot for Cass. That is so nice. If you told me that that wasn't the case, that wasn't the correct name, but in fact it was the name of a mouse who lived under a cupboard,
Starting point is 00:13:07 I'd be like, fair enough. Oh yeah. These are all someone's names. Oh, good. Well, good. Thank God. One of them a prime minister, the other four,
Starting point is 00:13:15 a mouse that lives under the stairs or whatever you said. Of course, fellatio is too stupid. Both the act and the name. But then it also makes me think like it rings a bell that maybe I've heard of people who have the last name fellatio. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Gotta come from somewhere, right? You know what that family was famous for? That's right. Well, because he was the head of a nation. Yes. Giving. Yes. Of himself. You know, he was an orator. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Forget it. What was a war, warble? It was a warble pucker. Warble pucker. Boner. Boner law. I'm going to go with boner law. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Boner law. It sounds so much better in your accent. Boner law. Boner law. You. It sounds so much better in your accent. Boner Law. Boner Law. You've got to think about it in the warble, warble gunning schnuck. Ooh. Wait, what was Fallacio's first name?
Starting point is 00:14:17 Jacques. Jacques Fallacio. I mean, he could have been the son of a diplomat, and he was like, Jacques Fallacio. he was like, All right, forget it. This is not how you solve this problem. So you're locking in Bonalor. Yeah, I'm picking in Bonalor. And how do you say that in accent?
Starting point is 00:14:36 Bonalor. Is it with an R or a W? W. Ah. Lor. Lor. Lor. How do you say Cass's one?
Starting point is 00:14:47 Burlington Snacklegrot. uh burlington snackle grot burlington snackle grot i'm feeling great about my choice here's who wrote the answers uh bag o chips that was the house oh delicious i feel like i sensed that uh jacques fellatio also the house phew really good job particularly that was adam from new york city warble pucker that was cass i almost went for that oh you nearly did burlington snackle grot that was alistair meaning that the correct answer was boner law oh my god maximum points for alistair there oh i can't believe it. I'm so sorry. That felt really good.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Also, our names could have been friends. That's right. I mean, I hope they could hang out somewhere. Let's build a little fairy garden for them, buy it under a tree. Yeah, I think your two definitely sounded the most posh English to me. Warble Pucker, Burlington Snacklegrot. Is Boner the guy who invented the law? Yes
Starting point is 00:15:47 He was named after the law he invented More of a scientific law than a Right, right, right Like Boner's law That's right What comes up must go down Alright, so we're up to question number three Quick score check, though.
Starting point is 00:16:05 In the meantime, on one point we have Cass and the house, but out in front it's Alistair Tremblay-Burchell on two points. You're killing it. I mean, you know, this is what happened last time. I was ahead for a little bit and then I didn't get a single goodly one for a bit. Coming ahead with a boner. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:23 See if you can keep it up all right question number three in early 2022 the colombian government declared hippos an invasive species how did hippos come to columbia early 2022 the colombian government declared hippos an invasive species how did they arrive in columbia how did they get there while you're writing your answers i'll let the audience know a little bit more about boner law according to adam boner was the only canadian-born prime minister of the united kingdom and he served as pm from the 23rd of october 1922 to the 20th of may 1923 does that make you proud at all, Al? The only Canadian-born UK Prime Minister, Bonar Law? My heart is swelling for Bonar.
Starting point is 00:17:09 The initial way that Adam wrote the question, and it was probably better to be honest, I panicked and I changed it, but he said I was worried I was going to give it away to you, because you've studied Canadian history probably. Of course, yeah. But the question was something like, who was the only Canadian-born
Starting point is 00:17:24 UK Prime Minister? Of course, you had But the question was something like who was the only Canadian born? Of course, you had to remove that. And his other answers were like maple leaf, moosing stone and stuff like that. According to the UK government's website, Andrew Bonalore was the Canadian born son of a Scottish clergyman. He worked as a boy on his father's small holding and then at age 12, he went to live with his late mother's cousins, who were rich Glaswegian merchant bankers in Scotland. He later worked for the family bank while attending university night classes, which gave him an interest in politics and debating.
Starting point is 00:17:58 With an inheritance that gave him financial independence, Bonalore entered politics. In 1900, he was elected Conservative MP for Glasgow Blackfriars. Oh, Conservative with a fun name. He had a reputation for honesty and fearlessness and was well regarded as an effective speaker. So really being straight up and down? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Working closely with the Liberals caused Bonalor to admire then PM david lloyd george many leading conservatives were so charmed by lloyd george i think was the leader of the liberal parties it sounds like quite an you know strange bedfellows whatever they say but yeah other members of the conservative party were loving lloyd george so much that they were almost considering leaving the conservatives to join a new party that Lloyd George was planning. Bonar Law, though, made a decisive and stimulating speech at the Conservative Carlton Club, which changed their minds
Starting point is 00:18:53 and saved the Conservative Party. He persuaded the Conservatives to end the coalition and work as an independent party. I don't know, is that what the Conservative Party over there still call? I don't know if it's still the same party, but if so, Bonar Law saved them. Oh. We wouldn't have this party of Boris Johnson and whoever,
Starting point is 00:19:12 David Cameron, if it wasn't for, if I, I mean, is that right? If I'm going to associate Boris Johnson with anyone, it would be Bonar. Bonar, yeah. That's right. I mean, that means there would have been no Brexit. Whoa. Whoa. So Bonar Law is responsible for Brexit. That's right. I mean, that means there would have been no Brexit. Whoa. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:19:25 So Boner Law is responsible for Brexit. That's right. He's that first domino you knock over. And then that big domino is, I guess, sort of probably just Boris Johnson falling onto that child in that football game. Did Scott Morrison do something very similar? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Merge those two memories together. Yeah. Wow. Why do they keep doing it? Conservative leaders love falling on kids. Did Scott Morrison do something very similar? Yeah, tackle it Oh, merge those two memories together Yeah, yeah, yeah Wow Why do they keep doing it? Conservative leaders love falling on kids That's right Tackle someone your own size You know, there's two types of inconspicuous
Starting point is 00:19:53 You can do it in hidden away Or you can do it right in plain sight Make it seem like it's innocent My favourite way to hide is in plain sight That's right Okay, so here's question number three. In early 2022, the Colombian government declared hippos an invasive species. How did hippos come to Colombia?
Starting point is 00:20:14 Here are your options. The Colombian military tried to train them for combat. Pablo Escobar brought them in to make his own private zoo. Two infant hippos were smuggled in in a suitcase. A highly successful marketing campaign by the South African meat industry in the 1960s popularised hippo meat in Colombia. Or they escaped famous drug kingpin Armando Lopez Jr.'s compound and bred in the Hector Tequila River.
Starting point is 00:20:42 So you've got five options there. Excellent options. Al, maybe your turn to have a crack first here. I mean. So they had the military trying to use them as weapons. Pablo Escobar Zoo. Infant hippos smuggled in a suitcase. Meat industry campaign.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Or Armando Lopez Jr. So smuggled them in a suitcase and then they just bred in the, just two, like brought two or something like that. And then they just bred from that. A breeding pair. So it's like a sort of like a, like a cane toad type situation. Yeah. They weren't using them to try to solve a situation, solve a problem.
Starting point is 00:21:19 They were trying to solve the, the hippo beetle. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I guess there could be like a thing where it's like, you know, if you had a body of water, you know, sometimes like billionaires, they have a beachfront property and they don't want, but it's a public
Starting point is 00:21:33 beach and they don't want people using their beach. So they put hippos in there. And they go, that way, that'll fix them. But then the breeding gets out of, you know. Have you seen any of those videos of the hippos chasing a boat no it's uh pretty wild stuff do they win uh they are one of the biggest killers in africa yeah so they i think they do win sometimes yeah they're so fast but they're running on the bottom and sort of leaping up and down and they sort of create in their own
Starting point is 00:22:01 waves oh that's cool yeah it's a wild thing. It's something I grew up not knowing about. And I feel foolish now. They're so fast. I don't know why all kids aren't watching these videos in schools. Closest relative to the whale. Yeah, that's right. They're like land whales.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Land whales. Yeah, well, no, whales are sea hippos, aren't they? Because whales went back. Whales are what? Whales went back. Whales are what? Whales went back. They went back. That's right. They went back to the home country.
Starting point is 00:22:30 And now they're so huge because there's just nothing stopping them. They got away from the people who were stopping them. Yeah. I am going to, so wait, there's the meat one. I want you to know that I feel like I know what the answer is, but I feel like I don't want to pick it. Well, I think if you know the answer, you should pick it. But maybe you'd be a fool to not pick the one that's right.
Starting point is 00:22:52 I know, but I feel like this is how confident I am now. After that one win that I can handicap myself. This is what happens. This is why I lose. Yeah. Except for that one time that I think you might've made up, right. Is that I get one little buzz of dopamine,
Starting point is 00:23:08 right. And then I go, Oh, I said I can live off, you know, I'm going to go, I'm going to go hippo meat. Hippo mate.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Yeah. Lucky and hippo mate. The answer you believe to not be correct. That's right. All right. So now you know that it's probably one of the other four. Probably not hippo meat. There was Pablo Escobar and someone junior.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Armando Lopez Jr. Who had a compound in the Hector Tequila River. If it's not real, that feels offensive. That's what I was thinking. Hmm. Do I want to make that? I'm on the public forum. Do I want to make that? I'm on the public forum. Do I want to take that risk?
Starting point is 00:23:48 I think it would be one of those two. Let's go with the tequila river. Tequila river. All right, locking it in. I mean, that's not the right language, is it? What's that? Locking it in? No, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Let's do it. All right. So here is who wrote the answers. The Colombian military tried to train them for combat. That was the house. How specifically mapped the question. It would be great to have a military hippo, though. Ride a haggard with that thing.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Ride it into battle. Do you think they would be riding them? Yes. Is that what they were doing? Yeah, great. Or just sending them in, maybe. Do you think with a bomb inside? Well, I mean, you just said that you've seen videos of them keeping up with boats oh that's true you don't need boats then
Starting point is 00:24:28 you just need a saddle yeah the ultimate submarine that's right but maybe you don't even need the saddle what's the person on the back doing the hippos are already killing just just let the hippos have their fun yeah sure if you get rid of all your guys from the scene then the hippos can have anyone they want. Yeah, it makes the trainer's job really easy, actually. It's just releasing a bunch of hippos. Yeah, yeah. Go on.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Go get them. Get them. Two infant hippos were smuggled in in a suitcase. It was Cass. I didn't know if I should put more information in there. Oh, I liked it. I guess I should have. No, I wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:25:02 If it was the correct answer, the information would be coming later. Yeah, that's right. That is true. Well, I know you asked, it was the correct answer, the information would be coming later. Yeah, that's right. That is true. Well, I know you asked, like, why would they have been smuggled in a suitcase? So, I want you to know that I deleted the part where I was like, well, they were smuggled in because they were trying to sell, like, teacup hippos. After teacup, pigs didn't take off. Sure, of course. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:24 That would have been, that's a great idea little tiny hippos i want one i certainly would like one that and tiny bears they're all the things oh my god so there are pygmy hippos right but you need them to be even smaller oh yeah that's still very big yeah you'd want a pygmy pygmy Yeah. Then we had the highly successful marketing campaign from the South African meat industry. That was also written by Matt slash the house. So one point of the house there. You knew.
Starting point is 00:25:56 The famous drug kingpin Armando Lopez Jr., which Cass went for, that was written by Alistair, meaning the correct answer was Pablo Escobar brought them in to make his own private zoo. It's one point to the house. I'm so sorry. That's so funny. Did you just make up the heck of the tequila river?
Starting point is 00:26:17 Is that a real thing? I, you know, I don't know enough about Columbia to be sure that that doesn't exist. But, you know, I do know a little bit about Spanish and Spanish culture. And so I kind of used some of that knowledge, mixed it together, and I made a little name cocktail.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Okay. And I got your point. I felt good about it. And you knew the correct answer was Pablo Escobar? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So you could have had two points there. I know, but I'm a real...
Starting point is 00:26:45 So quick score update. We have Cass on one point, the house on two points, but still out in front it's ATB on three points. Because I think it's cheating to know the answer in this game.
Starting point is 00:27:00 A little bit. Because I think the fun is in being faced with... i like the going in blind thing well that's the idea and that's on me right i'm i'm trying to pick questions that i don't think you would know and there are there's always the risk uh all right so we're up to question number four this one comes from renny even claudia hi renny from liz moore comma love more i don't know if that's a i don't know if that's their nickname or if that's an actual place, but I love it either way.

What did Australian Idol runner-up Shannon Knoll tweet on the 2nd of October 2020? And while you're writing your answers, here's a little bit more info about Colombian hippos. According to theworld.org,
Starting point is 00:27:51 back in 1981, Escobar built a private zoo in his massive estate. He smuggled in exotic animals from Africa, including zebras, rhinos, giraffes, and a few hippos. After Escobar's death, most of the animals were transferred to local zoos or local captivity facilities, according to Natalie Castelblanco, a marine biologist who is studying the impact of hippos on Colombia's ecosystem. But the Colombian government couldn't figure out what to do with the hippos, she said. Hippos are costly to transport and amid violence
Starting point is 00:28:21 in the area at the time, they were left to wander free in the wetlands with nice warm weather and no predators the animals have flourished according to the most recent census conducted last year by the alexander von humboldt biological research institute there are now 133 of these animals in the area of about 200 square miles. So how many? 133. That's not that many. Yeah, it's not that many. But I guess they must take out a pretty big territory, right? That's true.
Starting point is 00:28:51 That's true, yeah, yeah. I mean, they already cover a fair bit of ground even without taking into account their territory. Think about how many beetles you could fit in that space. Yeah.

Don't send that, please. No, I mean, send it to my account. I'm just going to go Knowles-Miss just because, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:14 even just to reward whoever. Good writing. At the very least. Whether it's to Shannon or one of the other players. Yeah. All right, well, let me read out who wrote the answers. First up, we had just got called to What About Me, got down the shops.
Starting point is 00:32:30 That was The House. Very good. Let Me Out of the State. I was linked to his song Drive. That was Cass. Oh, that was good. I actually thought that that might be the case because of all the people that we knew that flipped
Starting point is 00:32:44 and turned conspiratorial or whatever during the pandemic. So, yeah. Well, it was during 2020, so I'm like, oh. That was very good. I'll make it contemporary to the time. In many ways, you were unlucky just due to the fantastic writing of those last two. And that's fair enough.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I know what I meant. Came out strong late. Then we had Don't Have a Car. I Don't Have a Big Black Shiny Car. Just got strong late. Then we had Don't Have a Car. I don't have a big, black, shiny car. Just got impounded. That was Alistair. Very good. That means one of you is correct.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Oh, God. Hey, folks and blokes, two more months till Knowlesmas. That was written by Rennie Even Claudia. Rennie Even Claudia. AKA The House. I love that they're the first time we've had one where three people have got a writing credit on a house question. Wow. And I love it.
Starting point is 00:33:31 And I can feel each of their work in there. You know what I mean? It's beautiful. Each of the artists is present in the work. One writer cannot come up with that. No, no, no. You can't weave a tapestry with one thread. It's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:33:41 That's the same reason people suspect that Shakespeare was multiple people. Yeah, that's right. And this means that Cassie is correct. It's the same thing so that's the same reason people suspect that shakespeare was multiple people yeah that's right and this means that cassie is correct it's that beautiful oh that's good stuff oh covet hit him hard yeah so somebody just sent him seeds yeah i realize you're about to get into that but because as it turns out there was this whole thing about it around that time um that made minor news in austral Australia and elsewhere that people were receiving random seeds. And I'll tell the listeners a little bit more about that in a minute. But before we get to that, here's question number five, which comes from Emmy White from Albuquerque in New Mexico.
Starting point is 00:34:19 And Emmy's question is, what bizarre headline was featured in the Los Angeles Herald on February the 1st, 1910? What bizarre headline was featured in the Los Angeles Herald on February 1st, 1910? While you're writing your answers, here's some more information on mystery seeds in the mail. According to the ABC, that's the Australian ABC, in 2020, more than 260 unidentified unsolicited mystery seed parcels
Starting point is 00:34:51 have been found in letterboxes around Australia this year, raising serious concerns about biosecurity breaches. Despite authorities using detector dogs and X-ray machines to intercept 45,000 risky seed parcels at mail centers across the country. The mystery seeds were reported to the Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment by concerned community members, prompting fears more seeds could have escaped detection.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Acting Chief Plant Protection Officer Gabrielle Vivian Smith said, These reports are important and demonstrate the vital role the community plays in identifying and reporting biosecurity risks. Dr Vivian Smith said seeds made up to 75% of biosecurity interceptions at Australian mail centres. This is a concern for Australia as seeds that arrive from overseas and do not comply with our biosecurity conditions can carry a range of risks. National Farmers Federation President Fiona Simpson has also told the government that Australia needs to do better when it comes to biosecurity, saying,
Starting point is 00:35:52 we're an island nation. It shouldn't be that hard. But we keep seeing these things come through and our message to government is that we need to continually upgrade our biosecurity arrangements to make sure these things are not coming into our country. How rousing is that? I reckon that's going to be one of those speeches that ends up being, you know, in a biopic
Starting point is 00:36:12 or something. One of those books where history is great speeches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Someone's going to find that on brainyquote.com. The answers are in for question number five. What bizarre headline was featured in the LA Herald on February 1, 1910? Duck eats yeast.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Quacks. Explodes. Man loses eye. President Taft seen in public with black cat. Proof of Satanism, pastor says. Titanic found unscathed. Adolescent leprechaun pickpocket who cursed the LAPD adopted by senior sergeant refuses to drop curse.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Or Great Dane makes Great Dame lame. Yeah. Great Dane makes Great Dame lame. Yeah. It's a front runner for me. Because I think that you can feel a tired headline writer finally finding something that they can inject a little bit of fun into. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:15 That's potentially even just such a minor story that they wouldn't even print it. But they're like, this headline gets it over the line and actually bumped up to page three. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I'm just going to go Great Dane. Great Dane. How about you, Cass?
Starting point is 00:37:31 Can I get a quick summary of the one? You had the exploding duck, the president with the black cat, the Titanic found unscathed, the adolescent leprechaun pickpocket, or the Great Dane making the Great Dane lame. I reckon I'm going to go duck. Let's do animals. Yeah, that's the best one. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Locked in. Here is who wrote the answers. President Taft seen in public with black cat. Proof of Satanism, pastor says. That was written by the house. Excellent work. That was a bit of a collab between me and emmy did emmy have something a bit ruder in there no i can't i think i just i don't know i
Starting point is 00:38:09 just i found i find headlines fun to play around with sure sure i also uh took what she did and ran with it a bit on the adolescent leprechaun pickpocket one to be honest emmy did all the work i just sort of played around i think they basically ended up back where they started. Titanic found unscathed. That was Alistair. Very funny. Once again, one of the two of you is correct. Oh, my gosh. I hope it's the duck, really, because I don't want that to be real.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Great Dane makes Great Dame lame. That was written by Cass. Cass! I pulled an Alistair. You've done so well. Duck eats yeast. Quacks explodes. Man loses eye is correct. So, double points to cast there oh hell yeah congratulations now i'm going to get complacent
Starting point is 00:38:52 it's funny when you start losing you realize that it really isn't about winning what it is about is uh having a really good time are you having a really good time. Are you having a really good time losing? No, it's actually quite terrible. It's really bad. Quick score update. Things have changed. We have on three points, the house. Also on three points, ATB. But out in front of four points, it's Cass.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Oh, my gosh. I'm scraping by. No, you're doing a fantastic job. Can't wait to beat you. I can't wait either. Is it still anybody's game? It is still absolutely anybody's game with two rounds to go. Can the house still win? The house?
Starting point is 00:39:33 Yeah. The house is equal with you, Al. Oh, my gosh. It's on one point separating all three of us. Throw a blanket over the field. Although it's very hot, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't. Maybe a light linen. Unless it's maybe a wet blanket.
Starting point is 00:39:51 One of the few times I'd be happy for you to throw a wet blanket over this party. All right, question number six comes from Stephen D. Who's from Ireland but living in the Netherlands. I met Stephen D. Oh. In Glasgow when we were over there last month. He also, I don't know if you two know about a show I do called Primates.
Starting point is 00:40:11 You've both been on it, in fact. It would be strange if we didn't. I have been on it but I don't know about it. And there's been a saga that I've been going through, which is the Ape Tittyside saga. Oh, unfamiliar. We're trying to get to the bottom of this photo. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Stephen D went out and visited he crossed international borders to go to a Belgian. Where the original photo was. He went down the slide, he recorded the audio which is featured on Ape Titty Slide Saga Part 5. That's incredible. We're up to Part 5?
Starting point is 00:40:40 Yeah. Is Part 5 out? Part 5 is out, yes. Has it been blown open yet? It continually is blown open. If people haven't heard it, I'd suggest going back. I mean, it's in Primates, but it's a very different show to Primates inside of Primates. Go back to Ape Titty Slide Saga Part One
Starting point is 00:40:56 and work your way through the five. It's a rollercoaster of emotions. Was it called Saga on episode one? Oh, probably not. You didn't know. You didn't know what you were getting into. You were young. That's true.
Starting point is 00:41:06 It's an ape titty roller coaster of emotion. It really is. All right. So we're up to question number six. This one comes from Steven. It is, what happened in Ireland on March the 10th, 2015? What happened in Ireland on March the 10th, 2015? While you're writing those answers,
Starting point is 00:41:24 here's the article about the exploding duck. Accessed via the California Digital Newspaper Collection. As we know, it's titled, Duck Full of Yeast Explodes. Man Loses Eye. Des Moines. Jan Radamanthus, a prize-winning duck at a recent poultry show, is no more. Having exploded into several hundred bits, one of which struck Silas Perkins in the eye, destroying the sight. The cause of the explosion
Starting point is 00:41:51 was the eating of yeast, which was placed in a pan upon the back porch and tempted his duck ship, which was taking a morning stroll. Upon returning from church, Sir Perkins discovered his prize duck in a somewhat loggy condition. Telltale marks around the pan of yeast gave him his clue. He was about to pick up the bird when the ladder quacked and exploded and Mr Perkins ran into the house holding both hands over one eye. A surgeon was called who found that the eyeball had been penetrated by a fragment of flying duck and gave no hope of saving the optic. I love how it's written.
Starting point is 00:42:25 All right, answers are in in here is question number six what happened in ireland on march the 10th 2015 during an election tour prime minister sean gowan fell into a peat bog breaking his leg but uncovering a long buried ancient hunter-gatherer woman called isa bissa Bono declared his nomination to run for Irish president, withdrawing from the race after just one day due to public backlash. The Irish government accidentally legalized drugs for 24 hours. Interesting. A hacker successfully broke into the country's major online banking system and stole one cent from every user with more than $100 in their account
Starting point is 00:43:06 or an empty barrel was seen floating down the River Liffey. It became a media sensation with locals affectionately dubbing it Floaty O'Barrel. It drew huge crowds in the towns it passed through before eventually being fished out in Dublin and given the keys to the city. Well, I know what I want to be correct. The drugs one?
Starting point is 00:43:32 No, I think it might be the drugs one. That was what I was going to guess. I want the barrel one to be true. Ah, Floatio Barrel. It's got a name very similar to a former western australian leader or new south new south barry o'farrell barry o'farrell and flotio barrel both of the keys to the city well let's just give it to barry or floaty or whatever anyway um yeah so probably the drugs maybe although i mean the hacker you know sounds like something like very clever hacker Yeah. So probably the drugs, maybe.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Although, I mean, the hacker, you know, sounds like something a very clever hacker would do. Because they're like, I'm just trying to show you that there's a flaw in your security. Yeah. And making a little bit of money for my trouble along the way. Just a little bit. I'm doing it as a service. This is basically my hourly wage.
Starting point is 00:44:22 But like the population of Ireland isn't that high. It's only like 4 million or something like that. Is that true? Or is it like 6 million? Bloody wage. Yeah. But like the population of Ireland isn't that high. It's only like 4 million or something like that. Is that true? Or is it like 6 million? Bloody hell. Yeah. Okay. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:44:30 So if that is the case, maybe I could be wrong, but then that would mean that at most, you know, at the very most than one cent each, you could only make like $40,000. I mean, I'd be happy with $40,000. In one day? It looks like it's about 5 million. 5 million. I apologize.
Starting point is 00:44:53 No, that was exactly, you said four and six. I don't think you have to apologize for it landing right in the middle. They're sort of expat. They've got a big international popularity. Diaspora. I'll have you say that diaspora diaspora i don't know how to pronounce it do you guys know i don't know i feel like what al said did sound more right than what i said diaspora people yelling at their diaspora
Starting point is 00:45:17 um diaspora it's so difficult uh knowing about these things when we live so far away here in the antipodes. Yes, that's right. I guess I'm a, I'm a deusporic Irishman. You are in many ways. The only way I think about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Either of you want to lock in an answer. Cass, you were leaning towards one. Do you want to lock it in? I'll lock in some drugs. Thank you. Locking in drugs for Cass. Why?
Starting point is 00:45:44 You don't have to wink and tap your nose cass i but i'd like to i am going to say the hacker the hacker lock in the hack for our just because the barrel brought me too much joy and i feel like cast now knows that i i have a propensity to enjoy joy yeah yeah you're a joy lover for sure i wonder if she'll use that to her advantage in the final round haha i've bested you by making you smile yeah you did it all right here is who wrote the answers the prime minister falling into a bog and pulling out a hunter-gatherer woman called it's a bit so that was written by alistair oh nice who would have thought how do you know her name
Starting point is 00:46:29 i it's all made up that's not the name of the prime minister either uh then we had bono declared his nomination to run for irish president that was written by the house i i nearly believed it yeah yeah it's quite believable and to pull out oh did he if he said that i would have been like huh yeah no it did he said he pulled out after one day due to public oh that that did actually happen that happened oh no okay again so that's what i mean it's beautiful i was like oh all he did was change the date. Tricked us. The barrel, floaty o' barrel. That was written by the house. Oh, you joy baron.
Starting point is 00:47:10 So I think once again, one of you is correct here. Oh my gosh. The hacker successfully broke into the country's major online banking system. That was Cass. I mean, the correct answer was the Irish government accidentally legalized drugs for 24 hours. So again, double points to Cass. She's flying home. Five points in the last three rounds.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Cass has gone for my other propensity, is to go for things that sound real. I'm in your mind. You can't get me out of there. I knew that this game was going to get deeply psychological. All right. So a quick score check we have on three points still it's the house and alistair trombeau virtual but way out in front on six points it's cass
Starting point is 00:47:50 doing crimes i'm actually really happy for you oh thank you yeah i think that this is going to be really good and i think it's going to be a stepping stone to many other things you reckon yeah i think so what do you think i could do well i think that you could probably start winning other game shows because i think the confidence boost will just make you start using your powers for good like that, you know, to help yourself. I needed someone to switch me over to the other side. That's fair enough. Yeah, I think a lot of the time you've been entering game shows
Starting point is 00:48:14 with self-sabotaging on purpose. Thinking that you deserve to win. Like picking the wrong answer when you know the right answer, that sort of stuff. That kind of stuff. I don't know. That kind of stuff. Now, Al, that means that going to the last round,
Starting point is 00:48:27 you technically cannot win and neither can the house. But sometimes people will opt for triple points final round. I say triple points final round. Really? Which puts it way back on the table that anyone can win. Well, I mean, if that's something that Cass wants. Yeah. Your speech about self-sabotaging in a moment of competition
Starting point is 00:48:48 really touched me. Let's do it. And as I think I've said it every time, but nearly, I think nearly every time, if not every time, the current leader always ends up winning by more when triple points has been enacted. Yeah, great. First time for everything.
Starting point is 00:49:03 So it means that, Al, if you get maximum points this this round you'll get six points and leap into the into the lead you'll step on my head to get to the top even if i get even i could i could draw if i if i just get regular points you could and cast doesn't get any that's right that's right i guess doesn't get any so then then do we go you could draw if you get maximum points and Cass gets one normal point, which is three points now for triple points. Well, see, then we couldn't draw then. No, no. Well, you'd be getting six.
Starting point is 00:49:33 You'd be getting three. You've got three. Yeah, then we'd draw. You'd end up- Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. I see what you're saying. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:49:38 This must be fun for the listeners. All right. So here is question seven, the final question. It comes from Emma Lavender from right here in Melbourne, Australia. Oh, my goodness. And we always finish with a film synopsis question this week. The question is, what is the synopsis of the 1994 film Tammy and the T-Rex? What is the synopsis of the 1994 film Tammy and the T-Rex?
Starting point is 00:50:04 And while your answers are being written, here is some more information about the 24-hour drug legalisation in Ireland. And this comes from the Irish Post. In the same year equal marriage was legalised through popular vote, 2015 was a very progressive year indeed for Ireland. But this was not always done on purpose. On the 10th of March 2015, the Irish
Starting point is 00:50:25 government accidentally legalised a myriad of drugs including ketamine, ecstasy, crystal meth and magic mushrooms, sparking a desperate scrambling attempt to rectify the mistake through emergency legislation. The mistake happened due to a legal loophole which found the 1977 Misuse of Drugs Act to be unconstitutional and therefore all 125 drugs listed as being prohibited in the act were legalised. Despite the government's best efforts to reverse the accidental decision as quickly as possible, the long list of Class A drugs were legal to buy, possess and consume for 24 hours, resulting in what became known in certain circles as National Yolk's Day, yoke being a colloquial term for ecstasy.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Island ravers reveled in the 24-hour free-for-all. And Twitter users had a field day with the hashtag Yolkgate trending on the social media site throughout the day and night. All right, the answers are in. Oh, it's very exciting. Let's do it. Here is the final question. Triple points.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Holy moly. Triple points. This means it's anyone's game. It is anyone's game. House included. I hope the house doesn't win. You might pick a house option and that house just flies to victory. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:51:34 That can't happen. I didn't think of that. Yeah. This is the one of the downsides of triple points. All options are on the table. All right. So the final question is, what is the synopsis of the 1994 film Tammy and the T-Rex?
Starting point is 00:51:48 A teenage girl's boyfriend is murdered by bullies, but luckily his brain is preserved by a mad scientist and put into the body of an animatronic Tyrannosaurus Rex. Murdered by bullies. I mean, that's what it is, but you just never hear anyone saying that. That's right. Usually once they kill somebody, they tend to move up to murderers.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Yeah, that's true. They remain bullies. Yeah, it feels like they're underdoing it a little bit. A young nun, Tamitha, and a T-Rex begins questioning her devotion to God when a hot brunette visits the convent hoping to use the bog. Is that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Yeah, it's a toilet. Toilet. Yeah. Tammy, a paleontologist, struggles to be respected in her field, so travels back in time to find indisputable evidence for her theory. Six-year-old Tammy goes to a mini golf course with her family and is given a magical golf ball by the mysterious man behind the counter. Every statue in the golf course she hits with the ball comes to life
Starting point is 00:52:53 and many statues try to escape. Tammy and the T-Rex from Hole 7 must work together to save the golf course. Or a buddy cop film about a no-nonsense divorced police detective and her partner, a recently thawed T-Rex. They're not, most of them aren't frozen, I don't think. That is a regular odd couple, isn't it? That is a real odd couple. They could do Grumpy Old Men.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Well, not Grumpy Old Men, but then, you know, the new version in the franchise. Furious old men. Furious old men. One's a woman and one's a terrorist. They're furious. We're stepping it up. Alright. So, Cass, as the current lady, do you want to go first or do you want Al to go
Starting point is 00:53:38 first here? How do you want to play it? I'll leave that up to Al. You know what? It's only fair that I should go first. What are you thinking? Let's see. I mean obviously that that nunnery one sounds really perfect yeah i mean i think the one that seems the most well thought out is the uh mini golf one so as in like you know there's been a proper story put in there, it could either be this is somebody who's written a film who's put this much thought, or it could be that Cass has really thought about it.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Or I guess it could be the people submitting to the house. Yeah. You know? So, the only person you're rolling out is you. So, that's not me. Can you read the bog one again? A young nun, Tamitha and a T t-rex begins questioning her devotion to god when a hot brunette visits the convent hoping to use the bog then you had the boyfriend's brain
Starting point is 00:54:35 putting put in an animatronic tyrannosaurus rex killed by bullies we had the paleontologist who traveled back in time we had the mini golf course one and then the buddy cop film. It seems silly, but I'm going to go with the first one. The first one. The bullies. The bullies? Okay, locking that in for Al. And what about you, Cass?
Starting point is 00:54:54 I was going to go murdered by bullies. Which you certainly can do, Cass. In fact, it would probably be clever to because wouldn't that mean that he at least can't get he can't beat you then yeah but then what if we both pick it and you the house if it's the house both well that's something because we do die at the end if we don't win yeah i forgot about that yeah which is why we care so much let's have the other answers again so we've got the paleontologist yep the nun none uh the mini golf course and the buddy cops.
Starting point is 00:55:26 I'll go the buddy cop one. Buddy cop. All right. Locking that in for Cass. You're both happy with your decisions? I'm really happy. All right. Here is who wrote the answers.
Starting point is 00:55:37 The young nun who questioned her devotion to God. That was written by Alistair. Everybody knew that. Can you just read it again? Read it again. I'm like, let's just try to get some eyeballs on there. Put a little bit of doubt in there. The one about the paleontologist, the time-travelling paleontologist,
Starting point is 00:55:55 that was written by Emma slash The House. Oh, that was a good one. That was good. The mini-golf one, that was written by Cass. Oh, you see? Yeah. I nearly got you. You did.
Starting point is 00:56:07 The buddy cop film was written by Emma slash The House. That's three points to The House, meaning the correct answer was a teenage girl's boyfriend is murdered by bullies. But luckily his brain- Is it a three-way draw? Oh, my God. So that means three points to Al, three points to the house. I'll have to add up the scores.
Starting point is 00:56:34 We'll have to tabulate the scores. Let's not jump ahead. Tabulate them. Get them tabbed. Tab you. Carry the two. In the meantime, the film starred Denise Richards and Paul Walker as the kid murdered by bullies.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It has a 43% approval rating by both critics and the audience. They see eye to eye on this one. Beautiful. So, yeah, not super loved, but- But agreed upon. Yeah, agreed upon and not fully hated either.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Sometimes knowing your enemy is the best thing you can do. And also just the fact that there's no argument between audience and critic, that adds to the enjoyment of the film for me. Yeah, that's right. Reviewer Anton Bytel liked it though, writing, it is utterly dumb but smart enough to know just that. And while no gag is too low for its brand of anything goes screwball, it really does bring a lumbering kind of laugh to its hybrid collection
Starting point is 00:57:31 of ill-fitting ideas. It's one of the most negative positive reviews I think I've read. If someone wrote that about a stand-up set I'd done, I'd be chuffed. Have you done stand-up? Not yet. Oh, you go back to that. Oh, my gosh! This is great.
Starting point is 00:57:50 This is great news. Well, I'm ready with my review. Screwball set of ideas. All right, let's go to the final score check. So, we have the house on six points. Oh, my God. We have Alistair Trumbly-Burchell on six points. And also on six points. Oh, my God. We have Alistair Trombley-Burchell on six points. And also on six points is Cass.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Six, six, six. Oh, yeah. We did it. We did it. The devil's treason. Whoa, that hasn't happened before. Neighbor to the neighbor of the beast. Six, six, seven.
Starting point is 00:58:19 That's right. How do you feel about this, Cass? Unified. Yeah. I feel like this is correct because we've both won our own ones. And, you know, it was really, as we mentioned, one of us would have died if we'd lost. And now everyone gets to live.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Or do we all die? I forget. We're going to have to check the phone. Nobody loses. Nobody that gets put in the D column rather than a W or an L. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Okay. It's not that it's off, but it's not D for die. Okay. It's cool that we're still number one. I like that. We've never lost. I mean, I have definitely lost an episode. Me too.
Starting point is 00:58:53 I think you've both lost, and I've lost quite a few. Yeah. But we're still number one. Head high. Hey, reigning champs. Isn't that the main thing in the end? Beautiful. I'll take it.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Came in reigning champs, leave reigning champs. I don't even The main thing in the end. Beautiful. I'll take it. Came in raining champs, leave raining champs. I don't even know how many weeks until this gets released. So, you know, it could be, it could be raining champ for a long time. Just a couple of days. I'm afraid it's out. Check that weather. Is it raining champ right now? It seems like it must be.

But some tickets have been sold I've been checking the wrong thing. I thought none. And I was like, that's completely okay. It's so far out, but some tickets have been sold and it's glorious.

Starting point is 01:00:08 Some of them are just like a 20-minute relax. Yeah, great. But they're dumb. They're really dumb. One review on iTunes said that they'd found it was the best podcast they'd ever found to masturbate to. Oh. Okay.
