Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh my God, can you believe it? It's the year 2024. It's Melbourne Comedy Festival and we've just moved venues. We're at the Grace Darling now. We had a great run at the Chinese Museum, selling out shows by the end, but now we need you to come over to the Grace Darling and shows are at 7.15. It's going to be so much fun. Love to see you there. Let's have a beer. Use discount code do go on the show's called dry dry at the melbourne international comedy festival then we're going to sydney and brisbane tickets to all that stuff's on sale now and you can find those tickets and details at mattstuartcomedy.com 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 doing an encore performance of his hit show, Electric Dreams, at this year's Melbourne International Comedy Festival. It's Cameron James.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Oh my God. It's amazing to be here via Zoom. How technology has changed, isn't it? It's crazy. It's crazy. It used to be just a tin can and a string, but now look at us. It's like a lot of people say that COVID was bad for society, but it really brought Zoom into our lives.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Totally. Also, it was fake, I think, COVID. I think that's just my opinion But We can get into it Deeper later I have a lot of thoughts What do you Scandemic Is that the kind of
Starting point is 00:01:30 Term you might use That's what it says On my t-shirt Yeah Our second guest Is performing A brand new show At the festival
Starting point is 00:01:39 And at many festivals Actually called A bit of fun It's Kirstie Wiebeck Welcome to the show Thank you Thanks for having me again So you're Doing it a bit different cam's coming back to do one big night of his show and you're just you're probably doing about a hundred dates of your new show is
Starting point is 00:01:53 that about right yeah that's about right um cam's got the right idea i've made a terrible mistake next year before i announce my tour i'm'm going to call Cam up and go, what should I do? Just do one night. And then we all should just do one night and then just quit comedy. Yeah, I think comedy served its purpose now. Yeah, it's done. I'm ready to move on.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Where are you doing the show, Kirsty? Melbourne, obviously. What have I got left i've got melbourne canberra sydney brisbane perth at this stage i'll probably do a bit of regional stuff later in the year but yeah that's what's set in stone for now going to edinburgh no i don't think so i don't think so i mean that's not how i pronounce, but I think I know what you're talking about. Aaronsborough? Aaronsborough.
Starting point is 00:02:52 That's what I'm thinking. I am. I am down in Aaronsborough. Aaronsborough's back. Yeah. The Ramsey Street Comedy Festival. Doing a gig at the Ramsey Street Comedy Festival would be so much cheaper than Edinburgh. They should set up a stage in the middle of the cul-de-sac of Ramsey Street.
Starting point is 00:03:10 This is the kind of thing that Zuckerberg should be doing with his whole metaverse, right? Yes. He should be creating a Ramsey Street in there where we can go and do a festival. I want to send him an email. Hey, Zook, I'm going to hit you with some ideas. All right, well, let's get into the show. How it works is, for new listeners, I ask a relatively obscure trivia question, and our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer.
Starting point is 00:03:37 I then read their answers, as well as the real one, and they have to guess which one is correct. All right, here is question number one. This one comes from Louis Gemmel from Glasgow. And Lewis's question is, what does thagomizer mean? What does thagomizer mean? Okay. While you're writing your answers,
Starting point is 00:03:58 I'll explain how the scoring works to the audience. So, contestants get a point if their fake answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point if they correctly guessed the audience. So contestants get a point if their fake answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point if they correctly guessed the answer. And by the way, I'm also playing as the house. I've put in two of my own fake answers for each question and I get a point for each one of those that our guests choose as well. So each of us can score up to two points per round. Seems fair, but the probability actually favors favors me the house and the house always wins though if you've listened to previous episodes you'll know that that is rarely the case anyway our questions come from our great patreon supporters and if you want to submit a question
Starting point is 00:04:33 sign up on any level via patreon.com do go on pod which is linked in the show notes the answers are in so let's go back to our first question what does does thagomizer mean? The trick box used by magicians performing the Sora person in half trick. Hmm. A piece of medical equipment used in tonsillectomies. A lathing machine that stitches rubber to fabric used primarily in the automotive industry. The four spike tail of a stegosaurus or a device used to permanently fit a merkin. Permanently That's a bold move I'm going to love this fake pubic hair forever
Starting point is 00:05:16 Forever Wow, that's incredible You don't hear of Merkins very often anymore No When I think of Merkin, I think of comedy in 2004 or 5 That was a buzzword from back then So good I love it
Starting point is 00:05:37 Okay, what was the second one? Can you read the second one? I'll quickly go through them all if you like So you got the trick box used by magicians uh medical equipment from tonsillectomies lathing machine stitches rubber to fabric the tail of a stegosaurus or the merkin fitting device okay i i feel like i have confidence in one of them. Can I lock in the second one? The orthodontic- Medical equipment? Yeah, the medical equipment.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yep. You sure can. Locking that in for Cam? I'm sweating. I've never been more stressed in my life and it's only round one. Six more to go. Will I survive? I will- I think I'll say the, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:06:32 You want to say Merkin, I can tell. I love choosing the gag one, but the third one's right. It's stitching rubber to fabric, isn't it? That's right, yep. I was going to go with that, but I'm like, under what circumstances would you be stitching rubber to fabric? Well, yeah, in the automotive industry. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:56 I guess. Oh, nah. I thought I had a... Maybe like, yeah, seat covers seat covers Or you know those mats You know the feet mats Yeah that's good good on you I've been in cars Before Kirstie
Starting point is 00:07:13 We get it Matt you know your way around the vehicle You have a rev head Alright Hoon Let's go Let's go All right, Hoon. Let's go number one. The magician's box. Magicians. All right, locking that in for Kirstie. Well, let's go through who wrote the answers.
Starting point is 00:07:38 DeVos used to permanently fit a Merc, and that was the house. A lathing machine Which stitches rubber to fabric That was Cam James Oh man I was so close just then I almost had it That was crazy It's hard to defend your answer As well because it would be a bit
Starting point is 00:07:57 Transparent. Oh no there's heaps of things That you would stitch rubber to fabric with I'm so grateful That you stepped in with floor mats You must have been on edge I'm so sorry. That bite my tongue. I'm so grateful that you stepped in with floor mats. You must have been on edge. I'm so sorry. I was on edge. That's as good as I could come up with.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I'm sweaty now. I feel like how you felt a second ago, Kirsten. So sweaty. Then we had the trick box used by magicians performing the saw a person in half trick, which Kirsten went for. That was the house as well. Yeah. Do you know what? That phrasing at the end of it, that's whatie went for, that was the house as well. Yeah. Oh, do you know what?
Starting point is 00:08:26 That phrasing at the end of it, that's what made me kick it to the curb the first time you said it. Yeah, it's pretty casual. The sore a person in half trick. Oh, yeah. That sounds pretty like that's the layman talking right there. I think that's not. Well, that was written by Lewis Gemmel of Glasgow.
Starting point is 00:08:44 So maybe, you know. You got me Louis He's obviously not You don't think he's a pro magician Oh I don't think Maybe on the amateur circuit Absolutely And nothing wrong with that
Starting point is 00:08:51 Nothing wrong with that We've all started somewhere Louis Yeah Then we had the medical equipment used in tonsillectomies Which Cam picked That was Kirstie Oh yeah Oh my god
Starting point is 00:09:03 Got him Why didn't we That's insane that was so well written thanks mate i appreciate it's funny that we both tried to go for some technical shit that we don't really understand in our fake things god well congrats i gotta pay that that's really good thanks mate and then that means the correct answer was the four-spike tail of a stegosaurus. It's insane. That is- Great name for it.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Great name. With quite a funny origin. It comes from a Gary Larson cartoon. Okay. What? So, Gary Larson just gets to make up names for anatomy. Yeah. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:09:43 That doesn't sound right, dude. No, no, no. So, the idea is that, according to Lewis, the question writer, the name was first used as a joke in a comic by Gary Larson in 1982, but as no name officially existed, it was gradually adopted by scientists and authors as an informal term. Wow. The scientists would have been so pissed off when people started
Starting point is 00:10:06 using that legitimately yeah and then eventually they're like well if you can't beat them join them i guess what's next fucking the garfield guys coming up with the names it's their whole job is coming up with names for things so funny uh all right here's question number two what is the nickname of former nfl quarterback charlie whitehurst what is the nickname of former nfl quarterback charlie whitehurst while you're writing your answer i'll see if i can find some more information about the thagomizer uh There's a whole Wikipedia page dedicated to it. It says, A Thagomizer is the distinctive arrangement of four spikes on the tails of Stegosaurus dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:10:52 These spikes are believed to have been a defensive measure against predators. The original comic, I'm looking at it now, is a caveman pointing to a picture of a Stegosaurus tail. And then there's a bunch of cavemen watching on like an electric theatre sort of thing. And the caption is, Now this end is called a thagomizer after the late Thag Simmons. So, obviously, we're pissing ourselves laughing at the idea of this cartoon you've just described. I mean, a lot of it's in the visual.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Yeah, I suppose I'm missing The drawings The classic Larson drawings There's a reason why there's not a podcast Dedicated to describing cartoons Although there is a section on On the Australian Political show
Starting point is 00:11:40 The Insiders where they do that But I guess you can see them as well The last five minutes of the show is them looking at the political cartoons of the week and reading them. Yeah. I reckon the key is in being able to see it as well. It's a visual medium. Yeah, for sure. That's why it works.
Starting point is 00:11:57 That would be great. Actually, a good podcast idea is maybe just describing magic eyes that you're looking at and just being like, I'm squinting. Oh, no, it's coming to me now. I'm squinting. Oh, no, it's coming to me now. I'm squinting. Oh, okay. I think it's a rocket ship. Just looks like a series of colorful dots a second ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I wish you guys could see this. It's pretty spectacular. It's incredible. So three-dimensional. There's a link in the show notes. All right. Here's a link in the show notes. All right. Here's question number two. What is the nickname of former NFL quarterback Charlie Whitehurst?
Starting point is 00:12:31 Checkmate Charlie? Clipboard Jesus? Chucky Chucket? The Butterscotch Stallion? Or the Green Bay Bay Bay? Green Bay Bay Bay. That's my nickname. I've got to go through All those again
Starting point is 00:12:47 They're all really good nicknames So So great Yeah I'd be happy with any of these Yeah I'd be stoked Should we all choose one at the end
Starting point is 00:12:55 I think we should And exclusively go by that That's good For the rest of our lives So we've got Checkmate Charlie Okay Clipboard Jesus
Starting point is 00:13:02 Chucky Chucket The Butterscotch Stallion or the Green Bay Bay Bay. Oh, my God. Have you got any instincts, Kirsty? You feel like you know? I absolutely do not know. I've got to make up some cooked criteria in my head. I know. I've got to make up some cooked criteria in my head. I know.
Starting point is 00:13:27 To whittle some of them down. Yes, like a person I just heard of. What's his nickname? I don't even have a visual on him. No idea. I've just got this feeling in my waters that he loves a clipboard. Did you say his position? Like, does it say?
Starting point is 00:13:47 Yes Former NFL quarterback Oh, okay Okay You know what? I'm going to take a wild swing and lock one in I'm going to lock in Chucky Chucket It's crazy
Starting point is 00:14:01 But it sucks And it's the kind of thing that an idiot would come up with I'm saying that now in case Kirsty came up with it Yeah, ouch I mean, nothing I was going to go with Chucky Chuck it as well Oh, wow It's so bad
Starting point is 00:14:22 It's so bad It's functional Yeah, makes sense He's a quarterback Oh wow It's so bad It's so bad But also It's functional Yeah Makes sense He's a quarterback I suspect there's a bit of Chucking around Going on when you're a quarterback
Starting point is 00:14:31 You gotta lock that in as well? Nah I can't I can't I can't Like I know I can According to the rules It's your podcast
Starting point is 00:14:40 And you're saying it's fine But This is something inside me Going no You gotta do an independent one. Yep, no worries. Cam got that one. He called dibs on Chucky Chucker.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Chucky Chucker. Yeah. Chucky Cammy got it before me. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's really not good. No, sorry. I hope that catches on so bad.
Starting point is 00:15:05 No, no, no, no, no. Please, no, please. Checkmate Charlie, Clipboard Jesus, Chucky Chucket, and... The Butterscotch Stallion, and the Green Bay Bay Bay. Green Bay Bay Bay is so funny. Butterscotch Stallion. I love that one so much, just with no context. What?
Starting point is 00:15:30 He plays football. It's the Butterscotch Stallion. Butterscotch. What does that do? It's sort of like smooth. Stallions are athletic. Chucky Chuck definitely has the most direct line to reality.
Starting point is 00:15:47 It truly does. It really does. The rest of them, it's like, what's the link even? Chuck Mayday is a big chess player in his spare time. Yeah. Or he's strategic on the pitch. He's strategic. Yes, that's true.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Oh, clipboard Jesus is just like yeah what the fuck does that mean it's got a bit of a random name generator vibe yeah yeah yeah it's it's our quarterback blue scooter oh of course um this is so hard and i'm just gonna have to suck it up and do something so let's go with So let's go with Butterscotch Stallion. Locking in Butterscotch Stallion. I think I've got a migraine. This show really does induce COVID-like symptoms in the players. Yeah, I can't breathe.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Here's who wrote the answers. Checkmate, Charlie. That was Kirstie Wiebeck. Wow. I like that you fake deliberated over it as well. Even after I'd locked mine in. I riffed on it for half an hour. Just in case you changed your mind.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Trying to win me over That's great The Green Bay Bay Bay That was the house Wow Of course it was The Butterscotch Stallion Which Kirstie went for
Starting point is 00:17:14 That was Cam James Oh no I'll tell you why it's so catchy It's um That's Owen Wilson's nickname That's what that's what people call owen wilson and apparently it's because um that's what he likes to be called when he's being intimate he it's like a sexy sexy nickname that he enjoys being called when he's intimate with
Starting point is 00:17:39 his lovers it's a bit wordy ow Yeah, you can't really yell that out. There's too many syllables. But it's a cool sounding name, the Butterscotch Stallion. Oh, it's cool as. Yeah, I love it. I might have a chat to my partner about that. You've got to come up with a really quick one, I reckon. Something you can just say in the heat of the moment. Chucky Chucket.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Yeah, Chucky Chucket. Yeah, Chucky chuck it 100% Yeah Chucky chuck it Yeah Chucky chuck it Chucky chuck it Which Cam went for That was written by Alex AKA The House The question writer there
Starting point is 00:18:14 Wow So another point to The House Meaning the correct answer Was clipboard Jesus I was I was going between Butterscotch Stallion And clipboard Jesus
Starting point is 00:18:23 Do we know why? Yes Sort of, sort of. It was basically because he's got long hair and a beard and he never really got to play much, so he was always on the sidelines. I guess they hold a clipboard on the sidelines. Brutal. Brutal. Like the Jesus losers here again, not getting a goose.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Yeah. Wow. Apparently, he's not a fan of the nickname. And we're here to perpetuate it. Much like Cam isn't a fan of his nickname, Chucky Chucket. No one's calling me that. Let's not make that a thing, guys. No one's calling me that.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Let's not make that a thing, guys. I think everyone should go to your show at Max Watts with billboards saying, let's go, Chucky Chuckle. I don't like this. What about Chucky Chuckles? Oh, you found a way to make it worse. How is that possible? Chuckles.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I'm going to leave here and I'm going to make my billboard. Oh, for God's sake. I'm going to be in the front row. I'll cancel my show to be at Cam's to get the chant going. I don't even have Charles in my name. It doesn't make sense. Call me Clipboard Jesus, if anything, for God's sake. All right, we're up to question number three. This one was written by Paul McNally from Waterford in Ireland.
Starting point is 00:19:45 And Paul's question is, what reason is often attributed to the Mayo men's Gaelic football team having not won an all-Ireland football championship since 1951? What reason is often attributed to the Mayo men's Gaelic football team not having won the big championship since 1951? While you're writing your answers i'll let the listeners know a little bit more about charlie clipboard jesus whitehurst uh coordinator alex the question writer dude was great played in the nfl for years and only started a handful of games
Starting point is 00:20:17 great locks on him so he looked like jesus so i think it's fantastic. Journalist Mike Chappell asked Clipboard Jesus himself if he likes the nickname, and he replied, no, saying, I can't shake it. But what are you going to do about it? Chappell said, well, the nickname might vanish if he trimmed his long hair. Whitehurst replied, not going to happen. So doesn't like the nickname nickname but does like the locks all right the answers are in so here's question number three what reason is often attributed to the mayo men's gaelic football team having not won an all-island football championship since 1951
Starting point is 00:20:58 the curse of declan o'hare a local ghost story Immigration has diluted the number of Talented players in Mayo relative to Other counties the 1951 team passed a Funeral on their victory tour and a Priest cursed them for not stopping to Pay their respects they have a Long-standing tradition of drinking too Much the night before the semifinals Thus being too hungover for the games or
Starting point is 00:21:20 The club folded in 1952? These all fuck. I mean, the last one would really be, it would be such a great answer to this question. Why haven't a team won a game since 1951? They haven't existed since 1952. That's pretty good. Oh, I mean mean I've got I'm just gonna go for one I'm gonna lock
Starting point is 00:21:50 One in and uh I don't even know if is it racist to lock in The drinking one is that is that Technically racism I think It's more racist to have written it if it's not True It's either way it's not good to be Dancing around that one
Starting point is 00:22:08 Like to write it is one thing But to also be like that's true That has to be true But I'm going to lock it in because it sounds like The type of thing that a community would Come up with as a funny answer So yeah I'd like to lock in That all Irish people are alcoholics, please.
Starting point is 00:22:27 I think it might be okay for Australians to say this as we have the same reputation. True. I can also- Yeah, so it's on an even keel. Very Irish. Yeah. Isn't it also like, is today or tomorrow St. Patrick's Day?
Starting point is 00:22:42 Today, the day of recording is St. Patrick's Day? Today, on the day of recording is St. Patrick's Day. Yeah, the day we're recording. Because I say this as someone who walked past the Irish pub in St. Kilda this morning at 8.30am and everyone was dressed in green, smashing pints at 8.30am. And he thought, something's up here. Well, then I thought it was tomorrow. So, I was like, is this the pre-drinks? Like, are they pre-gaming for tomorrow?
Starting point is 00:23:04 It's like Pride Month. They do St. Paddy's Month. Good on them. But also, like, and footy players love a drink, don't they? Yes. And this is Gaelic football. Like, I assume that's similar. Yeah, Aussie footy players definitely traditionally love a drink.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Maybe I should lock that one in as well. Going to lock that one in as well? Nah. No? I can't. You've got... You're going to do this each round, say I want to lick like I can, but I've got a moral code saying I can't.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I've got a gut feeling about Declan O'Hare. All right, lock in Declan O'Hare Alright, lock in Declan O'Hare Also, if Declan O'Hare isn't true That's also racist For making the name Declan O'Hare There's a lot of racism in this round Alright, well let's go through the answers
Starting point is 00:24:02 And I really hope that the Irish question writer, Paul McNally, is enjoying the racism. I'm so uncomfortable. The club folding. I'm majority Irish blood, so I feel like it's okay. I've got Irish blood in me as well. All right, so I think, you know, our heritage means that we get a pass here. It's coming from a loving place. Yeah, I mean, my dad's a leprechaun.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I'm also a known alcoholic, so, you know. So, the house wrote the club folded in 1952. That's funny. Then we had mass immigration diluted the number of talented players. That was written by Paul McNally himself. The house, the only genuine Irish one involved in this round. Seemed to dodge any sort of alcohol related stuff there. Then we had the curse of Declan O'Hare.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Which curse did you pick? That was Cam James. Oh, you got me. Hey, Kirsty, if you think the name Declan O'Hare is racist, my first draft was Patty O'Hare. And I was like, I can't go with Patty. That's insane. That's too obvious. So, I dialed it down to Declan.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Yeah. Seamus was somewhere in between. Yeah. Then we had the longstanding tradition of drinking too much the night before. That was written by Kirstie. Oh, no. So, you picked each other. Which I like.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I didn't. Do you know what? The two that you both designated as the most on the nose were written by you two. Do you know, I was literally just thinking like footy culture when I was like, when I wrote the thing about the drinking. And then when Cam was like, that's pretty off. I was like, oh, no. I was like, no I was like no they're playing football That's all they do is booze and play
Starting point is 00:25:49 Football but anyway I'd like to apologise to any Irish listeners Me too me too sorry Paul And that means the correct one Was the curse Of the priest the funeral They didn't suffer the funeral and the priest cursed them So Cam Your cursed one
Starting point is 00:26:05 Was pretty close Yeah I was in the ballpark I actually had a little A chill went down my spine When you read out The word curse For the second time It was almost like
Starting point is 00:26:15 The ghost of Declan O'Hare Walked on your grave Or something Okay so that means That it's one point To Kirsty that round And one point to Kirstie that round and one point to Cam. Wow.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Meaning, quick score update after three rounds, it's Kirstie on two points, Cam on two points, and the house on two points. Wow, it's so close. So close. You'd never see scores like that in Gaelic football. We assume. I think it's actually A pretty cool sport
Starting point is 00:26:45 From memory It's It looks pretty badass I think I've seen it In the past Yeah It's similar to Aussie rules
Starting point is 00:26:53 Yeah With a soccer ball With a round ball Yeah that's so cool Yeah like It's crazy it hasn't Taken off over here Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:00 All you need is just like A bunch of cool people To start making it A pub thing. Like how pickleball is really big in America now or whatever. So, you know. Pickleball sounds made up. Is that a real thing?
Starting point is 00:27:12 It's real. Yeah. And it's huge in the States. Pickleball. I love it. Yeah. It's like ping pong but on a half-size tennis court or something like that. Oh.
Starting point is 00:27:21 It's a really odd little hybrid between, yeah, ping pong and tennis. So, we could get Gaelic football happening if we just did it. I was about to say, I think we just found our founding three members. Yeah. The Australian Gaelic Football Association. Let's do it. Absolutely. You know, there's like celebrities and stuff, like some of the Hollywood A-listers own pickleball leagues. Yeah, it's like, it's a whole thing. We're the Australian equivalent of Hollywood A-listers own pickleball weeks. Why? Yeah. It's like, it's a whole thing. We're the Australian equivalent of Hollywood A-listers. I think so, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:49 If anyone was going to get it off the ground, it'd be these three A-listers. I think so, yeah. All right. We're on to question number four. This one comes from Dylan Old from Myrtleford in Victoria. Beautiful part of the world. And Dylan's question is, which of these is a real species of frog so you've just got to come up with a fake frog species and while you're writing your answers
Starting point is 00:28:10 here's a little more information on the Mayo curse according to Paul supposedly the curse was to remain active until all surviving members of the 1951 panel were dead in the intervening years Mayo have lost the all-island final Final 11 times. The last surviving member of the 1951 team, Paddy Prentegast, Cam. He was the last surviving member of the team. They do it to themselves.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Paddy Prentegast died in September of 2021 at the age of 95. He passed away 15 days after Mayo's 11th finals defeat. And they have not since returned to the all-island final yet to test the curse. So if they make it to another grand final and win, that will prove the curse basically 100% true. All right, your answers are in for question number four. Which of these is a real species of
Starting point is 00:29:05 frog? Leaping knob gobbler. Leaping knob gobbler. Hang on. So, only one of these is real. Yeah, that's right. All right. I'm looking in leaping knob gobbler. Before I've heard the others, I already know. Horny three-toed tree frog, I already know. Horny three-toed tree frog, smat rat, yellowstone desert frog, or mountain chicken. Anything jumping out at you there, Kirstie? If you want to jump in on knob gobbler before Cam gets it, so you don't break your rule. Maybe this is part of my tactic.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Yeah. All right. So, the jumping knob gobbler. Leaping knob gobbler. Sorry. Bitter respect. Some parts is known as the jumping knob gobbler. Bitter respect. Leaping knob gobbler.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Horny three-toed tree frog, smat rat, yellowstone desert frog, or mountain chicken. Oh, God. Mountain chicken. Hmm. I hate it. I'm stuck in smat rat. Smat rat is rank. Yeah. It's fucking foul.
Starting point is 00:30:13 I want to stay away from it. Smat rat's wrecked my whole week. Yeah. I feel sick. I'm slipping in and out of consciousness. I feel sick. I'm flipping in and out of consciousness. Whoever came up with that, either the scientist or one of us,
Starting point is 00:30:32 is, I think, some sort of a genius. Can't for the life of me imagine who came up with that. Mat Rat, Mountain Chicken, Horny Three-Towed tree frog, and then leaping knob gobbler. I think horny three-toed tree frog is also too long for a bedroom name, don't you think? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Horny three.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Or horny frog even is fine. Or horny frog. Yeah. Or not bad. Yeah, horny frog's good. You can bring your toes into it. I mean, I guess, you know, horny frog even is fine. Or horny frog. Yeah. Or not bad. Yeah, horny frog's good. Don't bring your toes into it. I mean, I guess, you know, unless that's what you wanted. Unless that's what you like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I should. Look, I don't know why I'm even jumping in. Your bedroom, your rules. Yeah. We're not here to kink shame. No. Incidentally, I've got lovely toes.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Count them. One, two, three. So, you know what? I'm just actually going to go with my first instinct Which is leaping knob gobbler And lock it in Okay It feels like one of those ones that you Is like
Starting point is 00:31:40 They didn't know what they were saying back in the day It just It meant something different. And then now we think it's funny because it has knob gobbler in it. Yeah. It ate these, the knobby mushrooms. Yeah. Something like that.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Yeah. Yeah. Leaping knob gobbler. So, that's ruled that one out for you if you're sticking with that rule. Yeah. So, you've got 43- 23 toad tree frog smat rat yellowstone desert frog or mountain chicken oh oh no i mean the yellowstone desert frog legit sounds like a frog which makes me think that someone's chucked it in there
Starting point is 00:32:17 to throw us off the scent you know right i've watched murder Wrote I know how this shit works Like But who done it? Everyone It's Knives out We're all fucking detectives now Are we? We are We absolutely are
Starting point is 00:32:33 If you are ruling that one out That leaves Horny three-toed tree frog Smat rat Or mountain chicken I hate it I hate I just don't understand
Starting point is 00:32:43 How the rounds are getting worse Like exponentially. Exponentially worse. Look, just please lock in the Yellowstone one. Will do. Lock in Yellowstone Desert Frog. I'm going full vanilla on the round. Let's go through who wrote the answers.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Horny Three-Towed Tree Frog was Kirstie Wiebeck That's pretty good And also you again danced around that one too So clever Yeah very clever What a snake in the grass The smat rat which I love personally That was written by the house No
Starting point is 00:33:21 You're kidding me. You are kidding. I think it's a beautiful name for a frog. Or a boy or a girl. You wrote it, Matt. Look, you know, did I write it? In a lot of ways.
Starting point is 00:33:40 You're so transparent. What does writing even mean? What does it mean? It's like you're a vessel for God, really. To be honest, I got it from a friend and it's, I think it's some of their finest work. I can't name the friend. You probably wouldn't know them. They're from a different town.
Starting point is 00:34:03 What has that left us with? The Yellowstone Desert Frog Curse he picked That was Cam James Oh, he got me He got me He got in my head I let him into my head
Starting point is 00:34:15 Two snakes in the grass in this game Cam went for the Leaping Knob Gobbler Which was written by Dylan A.K.A. The House The correct answer is Mountain Chicken Cam went for the leaping knob gobbler Which was written by Dylan AKA the house The correct answer is mountain chicken Why? I hate it Apparently they taste like chicken
Starting point is 00:34:34 But you'd call everything chicken then And they're from the mountains That's stupid You're right I hate that sort of shit Yeah like heaps of stuff Like what's that thing they say like Yeah like chicken of the sea
Starting point is 00:34:48 That's that tuna Tuna yeah Brand Yeah And then there's that thing where they call like Bull's testicle Or goat testicles Rocky mountain oysters or something like that
Starting point is 00:34:57 Oh yeah I hate all that stuff Oh that's Yeah Apparently these frogs are real big And their legs are almost like drumsticks. Okay. That does sound yum.
Starting point is 00:35:07 And they go... And they cover their feathers. I did read somewhere that they do sound a bit like chickens as well. I think they might be chickens. They might not be frogs at all. They've just been plucked chickens. Yeah. I mean, was it like a two-year-old that identified these?
Starting point is 00:35:28 It could have been a two-year-old. That's my favourite thing when small children misidentify animals. I think it's so funny. When I got my puppy a couple of years back, my partner was taking her for a walk and she's always clearly looked like a dog. And this small child stopped his mum on the street and goes, look, mum, look at that boy
Starting point is 00:35:51 and his cat. Oh, for two. Got him. That's so funny They've never gone for a walk since Just a boy out walking his cat 36 year old woman and her dog but whatever Alright we're up to question number 5 This one comes from Rachel Johnson from Melbourne.
Starting point is 00:36:27 This is another chicken-related question. What was the name of the romance novel released by KFC to celebrate Mother's Day in 2017? What was the name of the romance novel released by KFC to celebrate Mother's Day in 2017? While they're writing their answers, here's some more information about the mountain chicken. According to Akron Zoo and their website, mountain chicken frogs are found on the islands of Domenica and Montserrat. They get their name from the locals who first discovered the species, claiming its meat tastes like chicken. This species is also commonly called the giant ditch frog, which is also not that friendly, I don't think of it for a name. As one of the world's largest frogs.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Mountain chicken frogs can jump up to six feet high. Soaring over the heads of many human adults. That's wild. I would love a mountain chicken to jump over my head. That'd be the best. I think it'd be a nightmare. Having a mountain chicken jump over your head. Yeah, it'd be horrible.
Starting point is 00:37:26 It'd be like, oh, like if you were just sitting down on a hill and a frog jumped over your head. I don't like it. I'm so hungry. I could eat the ass out of a low jumping mountain chicken. I'm so hungry. I could gobble the knob of a leaping gob nobbler. Gob nobbler. I feel stupid for locking that in now, but it felt right. Nah, it did feel right.
Starting point is 00:38:00 All right, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. All right, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. All right, the answers are in for question number five. What was the name of the romance novel released by KFC to celebrate Mother's Day in 2017? The Beguiling Stranger. The Colonel's Hot and Spicy Bucket of Love. Tender W of desire. Kentucky fried lovin' or zinger for two.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Is anyone else mildly aroused? Yeah. Did somebody say KFC? I actually can't believe this is real at all I don't know It's insane, like a full novel? Surely not, surely just like Apparently 97 pages long That's 97 too long Why? Who gets employed to do that?
Starting point is 00:39:04 Supposedly written by the colonel himself Oh wow, by the colonel himself. Oh, wow. By the colonel. But, I mean, he'd been dead for a while by then, I think so. Feels like maybe. Maybe they made it up. Maybe as a marketing guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Funnily enough, we're doing this week's episode of the Do Go On podcast is with guest Beck Petratus and she tells us the story of Colonel Sanders. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, fascinating. I find, yeah, I don't know anything about him, but his, you know, it's got to be a good story. Was he really a colonel or is it like Colonel Tom Parker's situation
Starting point is 00:39:38 with Elvis? I think, yeah, it's closer to that, I think. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it was a very interesting story, but yeah. He didn't come out great. Yeah. I don't know that that shocks me. All right, so can we hear them again?
Starting point is 00:40:00 Sorry. The Beguiling Stranger, The Colonel's Hot and Spicy Bucket of Love, Tender Wings of Desire, Kentucky Fried Lovin' or Zinger for Two. I'm trying to- There's really funny ones in there. Zinger for Two is so funny. And so is Kentucky Fried Lovin'. But I feel like they would go for something with a touch of class. Based on what, Cam?
Starting point is 00:40:28 Based on what? Maybe that's the wrong word. What am I thinking? I think they'd go for like a... Cam's like, have you seen the restaurants? They're beautiful. They're really stunning. And one of the ones he didn't rule out was the Colonel's Hot and Spicy Bucket of Love.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Something a bit classy. And one of the ones he didn't rule out was the Colonel's hot and spicy bucket of love. Something a bit classy. I think I'm drawn to the word desire and I think it's tender wings of desire. And I think I like it because it feels like something, it feels a bit romantic. It feels sweet. I'm intrigued. Yeah, I'm going to go with tender wings of desire.
Starting point is 00:41:04 All right, locking that in for Cam. What do you think, Kirstie? I'm going to go with tender wings of desire Alright locking that in for Cam What do you think Kirstie? I'm going for Zinger for two It reeks of Matt Stewart But I'm locking it in anyway It's got that stink on it you reckon It does Alright let's go through who wrote the answers The beguiling stranger
Starting point is 00:41:20 Which is probably the classiest of them all And might not surprise you to know That was Cam James. I was definitely trying to plant a seed there when I said that. I thought that was Cam. Yeah, god damn it. My gameplay technique has become too transparent. I need to mix it up.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Then we had The Colonel's Hot and Spicy Bucket of Love. That was written by rachel aka the house wow good one as was zinger for two also written by rachel rachel you got me so it's one point for the house there kentucky fried love and that was kirsty weebeck oh yes i'd read it yeah meaning the correct answer is tenderender Wings of Desire. Oh. So, a point to Cam there and one point to the house. It felt like a marketing name that they would come up with.
Starting point is 00:42:13 It's something, it's not too smutty. Yeah. You know, it's a bit safe, but it also references one of their key products that they want to sell, the Wicked Wing. Yeah. And first and foremost, and most of note to Cameron James, it's classy. It's classy. It's classy. Colonel, famously classy unit.
Starting point is 00:42:38 A touch of class. That's what the C actually stands for. Only two rounds to go Quick score update We've got Kirstie still on two points But out in front Cam and the house on four points apiece Oh wow Wow
Starting point is 00:42:56 But of course Kirstie You'll know this That the final round Is worth triple points So it's still Definitely anyone's game And you've got You can get two points
Starting point is 00:43:04 In this game in This round right here leveling up the Scores going to last round this is Question number six thanks for cheering Me up Matt a question on the six comes From Emmy White from Albuquerque New Mexico and Emmy's question is what Happened in Woburn Massachusetts that made the news in November 2022
Starting point is 00:43:28 I just want to say as well uh not the first time I've heard the word Emmy and Albuquerque New Mexico mentioned in the same sentence because Breaking Bad was set in Albuquerque and also won some Emmys so pretty pretty interesting. Just an interesting thing for us to think about while we're writing our answers. What a blatant, dirty grab for a bonus three point. And a beautiful name. Beautiful name. Beautiful place in the world as well.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Yeah. So what happened in Woburn, Massachusetts that made the news in November of 2022? Racist answers only. It's quite a big Irish expat population in Massachusetts. I think it was something to do with the curse of Declan O'Hare. While they're writing their answers, here's a bit more information about Tender Wings of Desire. According to Time magazine,
Starting point is 00:44:32 the fast food chain revealed a romance novel written by Colonel Sanders just in time for Mother's Day. The 96-page Tender Wings of Desire is set in Victorian England and available on Amazon for free. The novel centres on Lady Madeline Parker, who must choose between a life of order and a man of passion. The man of passion, of course, being Colonel Harland Sanders himself, a quote, handsome sailor with a mysterious past. Here's a quote from when the heroine first sees the hero, Colonel Sanders. He was tall, dressed like a
Starting point is 00:45:03 sailor with a striped linen shirt and woolen peacoat, crusted with sea salt. His hair was light and fair, framing his head in airy curls, and the eyes that stared back at her were almost the exact colour of the sea, perhaps darker, but not by much, and they hid behind glasses with dark frames. Madeline had never seen a sailor wear glasses before. Somehow it made him seem all the more handsome. He leaned on the bar
Starting point is 00:45:26 His eyes looking into hers And liking what they saw For a moment She felt hot and cold All at the same time Woof The butterscotch stallion I like that
Starting point is 00:45:41 Like even though it seems like Clearly he didn't write it But it's funny to think that he supposedly wrote this and that's how he's describing himself. It's confident. It's confident, yeah. So, no, probably that's what the C stands for. I thought it was class.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Kentucky pride confidence. All right, the answers are in for our second last question here. Question number six. What happened in Woburn, Massachusetts that made the news in November 2022? The Lindsay Lohan movie Christmas on the Farm 2 was filmed. It was discovered that a sex doll smuggling ring was based there, with an estimate of over half a million illegal sex dolls in circulation having arrived in America through the Woburn post office.
Starting point is 00:46:21 A flock of turkeys intimidated residents of the town, stopping many of them from leaving their homes. Fish fell from the sky during a violent storm or a lamp was said to be haunted after it remained on despite being unplugged from the wall. It was later discovered it also had a battery pack. One of these made the news just last year. The fish falling from the sky one is one I've heard recently.
Starting point is 00:46:47 I think about Australia. I think I heard it happening in Australia. There was a, I don't know, or maybe not, but I remember hearing it recently that fish got sucked up into a tornado, not a tornado, but something like that, and then rained back down. I think that shit happens. Or maybe I'm just thinking of the movie Magnolia where that happens at the end with frogs, aka mountain chickens. But it feel- I don't-
Starting point is 00:47:12 Yeah, it feels- That's in my mind. It can't be sex dolls, right? It can't be. I don't- Yeah, well, it would be a real boon for the town You know Yeah I wonder what the population there in Woburn is To be the mecca for illegal sex dolls
Starting point is 00:47:34 And what How are sex dolls illegal? I thought What is it about them? Yeah They've got a certain modification to them, okay I can't say any more than that It's a population of about 40,000.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Okay. How many sex dolls were at the post office? Half a million. Over half a million. Wow. Wow. It's like 1.25 illegal sex dolls per house. You'd think everyone in the town must be working in the operation.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Yeah, for sure. This goes right to the top. Yeah. The mayor's involved. The mayor of Woburn. I've got to hear them again. I'm sorry, Matt. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:48:16 I need to hear them all again. It's still getting progressively more stressful. Yeah. This is a nail-biter. So, we've got the Lindsay Lohan movie Christmas on a Farm 2 Being filmed The sex doll smuggling ring The flock of turkeys
Starting point is 00:48:30 Intimidating residents Of the town Fish falling from the sky Or the Supposed haunted lamp I'm going haunted lamp I'm going turkeys Turkeys for Cam
Starting point is 00:48:39 Lamp for Kirsty Alright Let's go through Who wrote the answers The Lindsay Lohan movie Christmas Christmas on the Farm 2 was filmed. That was Cam James. Oi. Big Lindsay Lohan fan.
Starting point is 00:48:50 He's a big cinephile. I love her. Fans of Cam will know. He does a whole movie podcast. He knows movies. I know heaps of movies. I'm nervous about our final question. Me too.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Movie related. I feel thick The sex doll smuggling ring That was written by Emmy Okay the house Another Emmy coming your way for that writing Great story yeah The fish falling from the sky during a violent storm
Starting point is 00:49:21 That was Kirstie Wiebeck Wow Did it happen in Australia recently or something? Is that what it was? I think so. Yeah. It happens all over the world. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:30 All the time. Right. Like, yeah, just getting sucked up into a storm cell. So, but the news loves it, right? They love it. That would be weird. A weird thing to experience. I imagine being slapped in the face by a trout while you're just trying to make your way home in the rain.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Like, it's no good I did a do-go-on episode Years ago which was vaguely related Called the Kentucky meat shower Where just random meat fell Down on a town and they Wasn't the Kentucky meat shower the name Of the romance
Starting point is 00:50:03 Yes yes yes Wasn't the Kentucky meat shower the name of the romance? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Maybe you should be Chucky Chuckles, Kirsty. Take that, Colonel. Because that is good stuff. That is good stuff. Chucky Chuckles strikes again. Can't deny it. Incredibly, incredibly jealous of your form there. That was really good stuff. Chucky chuckle strikes again. Can't deny it.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Incredibly jealous of your form there. That was really good stuff. Then we had the haunted lamp. That was written by the house. So, Kirstie gives a point to the house there. Oh, no. Meaning the correct answer was a flock of turkeys intimidated residents of the town. Do you know, that was my gut feeling as well, was the turkey one.
Starting point is 00:50:49 But then I was like, is it Albuquerque turkey? Oh, right. Yes. You know, I spooked myself. You think Amy was sitting at home going, what rhymes with my city? Yeah, exactly. Oh, God, I've got to get out of people's brains. Mine's a lot more complex than... You're playing 3D chess against no one right now.
Starting point is 00:51:11 All right. So, that's insane. That really happened? That's so crazy. Yeah. And I'll talk about it a little bit more in a second. But first, I'll give you your final question. So, the final question comes from Paul Mellor from Oldham in the UK.
Starting point is 00:51:29 And Paul's question is, what is the synopsis of the 1972 film The Asphyx? What is the synopsis of the 1972 film The Asphyx? The Asphyx. Now, are you laughing because this is one of your favourites or? Absolute favourite. Watch it every weekend. We're a big Asphyx household. How do you spell it?
Starting point is 00:51:53 A-S-P-H-Y-X. Okay. While your answers are being written, here's some more information about the Woburn turkeys. According to Adam Gabbett, writing for The Guardian, it's the time of year when millions of turkeys across the US might justifiably fear for their safety. But in one Massachusetts town, the birds have turned the tables,
Starting point is 00:52:14 ganging up to terrorise residents with pecks, kicks and loud clucking. People in Woburn, northwest of Boston, have been subjected to a barrage of attacks and intimidation by a group of five wild turkeys, with the situation forcing some to take up improvised weapons and residents reporting being trapped in their homes. The turkeys, led by a male bird nicknamed Kevin, arrived two years ago. Initially, the birds were docile, but as time passed, they have become ever more pugnacious, leaving Woburners fearful for their safety and forced to adapt their behavior. Local Megan Tolson, who lives in Woburn, said, They peck at cars. They stop traffic. They go after kids on bikes. If you're walking or jogging
Starting point is 00:52:55 or anything like that, they come for you. Tolson said she has even found herself trapped in her home by the birds. Some days it's frustrating. I'll be like, oh my God, there's an Amazon package and I can't go get it because the turkeys are there and they're watching. Then I just have to wait until nightfall. I've kind of adjusted over time to it. I know their routine now, so I can kind of work around them. So what? She now has to live her life based on the schedule of some turkeys. Tolson blames Kevin, distinguishable as the only male in the group, by his impressive size and elaborate tail plumage for the group's behavior, noting that when Kevin is absent, the female turkeys tend to leave people and cars alone. The women are more mellow and not so territorial,
Starting point is 00:53:39 but I think he kind of amps them up to get them going to chase people. But they're never the instigators, Tolson said. When Kevin's not around, they'll actually just mind their own business and walk away from you. Frightened residents have made calls to the police, and Tolson said officers sometimes show up and shush the birds away. But once the law is left, the turkeys resume their reign of terror. The birds also appear to have bulked up in recent months, Tolson said, making them even more intimidating. These turkeys are like Thanksgiving ready, she said. When Kevin goes after you, he can kick pretty good. Despite all the trouble, Tolson said she wishes the birds no ill will. When I don't see them for a couple
Starting point is 00:54:15 of days, I think, oh no, someone's run them over, she said. I mean, yeah, they can be a pain sometimes, but you know, they're just turkeys. I think that's beautifully put by megan all right here is the final question remembering this is triple points so you know you could get six points here meaning it is truly anyone's game what is the synopsis of the 1972 film the asphyx a young british archaeologist mines a hidden tomb beneath the sphinx known as the asphyx which leads to dire consequences for all involved a scientific experiment fails leaving the instigator professor george banks in a permanent state of asphyxiation in this laugh out loud ahead of its time black comedy sounds hilarious
Starting point is 00:54:59 ahead of its time How? How? This movie was doing asphyxiation gear way before everyone else Yeah, I feel like a hack now A gentleman photographer in Victorian England, Sir Hugo Cunningham, searches for immortality by trying to literally bottle up the spirit of the dead at the moment of people's death. A group of students travel to Greece for a two-week trip. While there, they visit a museum and subsequently fall ill one by one, struggling to breathe and eventually dying. The remaining students must work out how to reverse the curse before they too die. Or low-level thief Rod Huck, played by John Voight,
Starting point is 00:55:54 finds himself in possession of a piece of film that allegedly shows the identity of the assassin responsible for the murder of JFK. Huck becomes caught in a vast conspiracy between the mafia, the CIA, and one US senator, played by Gene Gene Hackman out to take him down. Okay, Cameron James. So you've got... What are you implying? What are you implying?
Starting point is 00:56:21 It felt more full on than implying Just come out and say it If you've got something to say, just say it Say it to my face So, just briefly we'll go through them all again You've got the British archaeologist Who gets some sort of a curse Then you've got the failed scientific experiment
Starting point is 00:56:50 Which was a movie ahead of its time Laugh out loud The photographer in Victorian England Who's trying to literally bottle up the spirit of the dead To get immortality A group of students traveling to greece they have to try and reverse the curse before they also die or the low-level thief rod huck unraveling the jfk murder conspiracy hmm oh um was the photographer one described as a gentleman
Starting point is 00:57:20 photographer a gentleman photographer hmm interesting That's very flowery, which makes me feel like it's fake. But maybe. I mean, I'm leaning more towards the gentleman photographer and the students going to Greece. Yeah. For some reason. I don't know why, but they're sticking out at me. Wow. So, the gentleman photographer is capturing the spirits of people as they're dying?
Starting point is 00:57:53 Yeah. Bottling. Bottling. Trying to use that for his own immortality. Uh-huh. That's how I read that. And the Greece students are being plagued by a curse that's killing them off one by one. Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Via asphyxiation Yes I want to go with grease Grease is the word Okay and grease for Cam That rules that one out for you Kirstie I assume If you're sticking by that rule Kirstie This is spooky
Starting point is 00:58:23 I just got a shiver down my spine Almost like patio hair was walking on my grave I'm gonna go with the photographer Photographer for Kirsty So you were following similar logic to Cam there Yeah and Cam ruled grief out for me My own rule And what was wrong with the last one
Starting point is 00:58:46 The JFK conspiracy That one sounded pretty good Yeah that one sounded incredible That sounded like a real movie buff had written it It did stand out as probably the one That sounded the most like a real movie Which would normally make you think That's the one you'd guess.
Starting point is 00:59:10 But Kirstie wasn't playing that game. I wasn't going to be tricked by the snake in the grass again. And I got to tell you, Kirstie, you were spot on. That was Cam's answer. Ding, ding, ding. Yeah. Was my problem, I want to analyze my gameplay. Was casting two actors in my synopsis the giveaway or? I, that, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Yeah, John Voight, I was like, here we go. And what was it, Gene Hackman? Gene Hackman. They're a couple of cinephile heroes, aren't they? They were era appropriate. That's so funny. All right. You got me.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Right away. I get 18 bonus points for exposing Ken. I feel like I'm wrapped up in a vast conspiracy. We had the young British archaeologist Minding a hidden tomb That was written by Paul Mellor A.K.A. The House As was the scientific experiment failing Which was a laugh out loud
Starting point is 01:00:13 Ahead of its time Black comedy Which I love that work from Paul Ahead of its time Laugh out loud Ahead of its time Black comedy I'm definitely going to borrow that
Starting point is 01:00:22 For a future episode You should. A group of students travel to Greece for a two-week trip. That was written by Kirstie Wiebeck. No. You're kidding. Meaning Kirstie also got the correct answer. A gentleman photographer in Victorian England.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Meaning Kirstie gets maximum points there. I've maxed it. The comeback kid. Just quickly, the Asphix got mixed reviews scoring 67% on Rotten Tomatoes in the 40% from the viewers though.
Starting point is 01:00:54 It was more of a critics film than a your average Joe film. But the lead actor, does this guy mean anything to you Cam? Robert Stevens? An English actor? No. Cam only knows John boynton no i'm looking him up right now i don't know what's he in what do we what do we know him from nothing i know i'll tell you so he got very this role got very different reviews i'll read out a
Starting point is 01:01:21 couple of snippets of reviews of this film that mention him. Reviewer Ian Berryman was right into Robert Stevens' work in this film writing, what stops the film from sliding into irredeemable silliness is the performance of Robert Stevens, one of those dependable British thesps you can always rely on to pull out all the stops. Wow. Whereas another critic, Jeff Andrew, writes, the film degenerates into formula and farce with Stephen's theatrical delivery adding the mortal blow. Wow, yeah. I'm looking at his credits now.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Big stage guy. A lot of Shakespeare. I hear his King Lear was the toast of the West End. Whoa. Yeah. People are loving him. He played Falstaff. God, this guy.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Yeah, I love him. I'd cast him in my movie opposite John Voight for sure. Gene Hackman, you're out. All right. Well, let's do a final score check. In equal second place, we had Cam on five points and The House on five points. Cam, now can you tell listeners a bit more info about your big show coming up? Sure.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Yeah, it's a show I toured last year. It's called Electric Dreams. It's stories and how do I explain it? I've had two years to figure out how to pitch this show. I haven't quite landed on the right way to sell it. When I was a teenager, I wrote a lot of songs and I played in bands and I wanted to be a serious musician. And for this show, I have dug out a bunch of those old songs and I play them live. And they're very earnest and very serious songs written by a 15-year-old.
Starting point is 01:03:07 And I tell the stories behind them. And it's truly an exercise in cringe and embarrassment and coming of age. It would be a beautiful film adaptation with Robert Stevens, I think, if we could ever get any lead. Or playing your father. Playing a 15-year-old boy, I think. He could do it. He's really good. And yeah, I'm doing One Night in Melbourne on April 15.
Starting point is 01:03:37 And then I'm also doing Sydney, One Night in Sydney and Two Nights in Brisbane. And I feel like that's going to be it. I think I might be done with the show after that. So, I'd really love it if people would come along and check it out. I think we clashed last year and then I tried to see you in Sydney and it was already sold out when I was standing at the ticket booth. So, I think I'm finally going to get to see it this year in Melbourne. I'm really, really excited. Oh, man. I'd love to see you there. It's at the beautiful time of 4.30 in the afternoon. So... Oh, I'm in my matinee era. Like, I'm here for a 4.30 show.
Starting point is 01:04:08 How good is it? Yes. Comedy Festival should just be an afternoon thing. Big time. Big time. So keen. Can I just quickly say as well that I had a show on after Cam's show last year at Perth Comedy Festival. So, I caught his show.
Starting point is 01:04:24 And it's so great and it got nominated for most outstanding show at melbourne international comedy festival last year as well which cam would absolutely not say on this podcast he shuns the awards yeah he shuns that whole world well what no you you know you you've got to be humble in comedy, don't you? You've got to be humble. Other people don't have to be humble on your behalf, though. So the point is that Cam's show is really, really great. And you should absolutely get along. I've heard nothing but good things.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Yeah. I'm so pumped to say it. Thank you so much. And Kirstie, I'm already hearing great word about your new show. Yeah, thanks, mate. I've been very vocal about it. So you're going to do the full run in Melbourne. You're going to Canberra.
Starting point is 01:05:09 You're going to Perth. And where can people see it or hear more about it? In Brisbane. Yeah, and Brisbane and Sydney. On my website, all the tickets and stuff are at kirstiewebeck.com. So you can see the dates and the venues like across the whole country um is the title accurate is it just a bit of fun no i undersold it um i i called it a bit of fun before i wrote it and then i accidentally wrote a really really fun show
Starting point is 01:05:37 a huge amount of fun so i cooked that but But I think it's good to manage people's expectations. Comedians, they have to be understated. Yeah, under promise and over deliver, I think. And you know what, Kirsty, I'll say this about you. You are a lot of fun. You are a very fun comedian. You're a blast to watch. Everyone should go.
