welcome to who knew with matt stewart the show where the guests write the wrong answers.
I'm the titular Matt Stewart.
Our first guest this week is from Finding Yeezus and the Total Reboot podcast.
It's Alexei Tolyopoulos.
Matt, it is my pleasure to return to the podcast and to once again show my incredible intellect in knowing Fun facts from around the globe
It's so good to have your big intellect
Back on the pod and our
Second guest this week is
The book chook himself host of
The do go on and book cheat podcasts
It's Dave Warnicky
Hello it's so great to be here
To show my total lack of
Intellect you are the yin and
Yang of the podcast world.
Finally, the two mighty sides of the spectrum have met.
I'm here to lift you up and make you look good, Lexi.
Thank you.
But, you know, Dave, you are one of the great trivia minds.
You and I have a background in trivia.
So, I think we might be seeing a clash of some kind of trivia titans.
Here we go.
Okay, well, put them up.
I'm ready.
This is why the house invited you on to try and you know beat the undebeatable undebeatable that's undebatable
but you're undebeatable oh no uh and lex uh we've interrupted you uh you're coming in down the line
from sydney australia and you've got and you've got an oven cooking there in the background?
Yes.
I am recording from my kitchen because I am baking a cake as this podcast records.
I am baking a cake.
I had other plans today as well.
You know, I've got my life does not just revolve around podcast appearances, but I am baking a cake.
I'm not just a debater.
I'm a freaking baker as well
Well I look forward to seeing and hearing
How the process goes today
I shall give you hints at what the cake is
Perhaps throughout the game
Okay
I will start with one ingredient now
Okay
Flour
Okay so it's not a
Flourless cake
Okay
I'm gonna go sponge
Mmm
I'm gonna go
Black forest
Both
Incredibly
Incorrect guesses
Okay
Incredibly
Incorrect
Extremely
Far off so far
Like embarrassingly so
Oh there is not one
Scant berry in this cake
So let alone a
black forest full of them Alexi just in
case you've forgotten how the show works
this is how it goes I'll ask a relatively
obscure wow you're gonna ask a relatively
obtuse question of some kind 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.
Are we ready to play?
Yes.
Absolutely.
The first question comes from listener Kelly Clark from Perth.
And Kelly's question is, the word zucchetto means small gourd in Italian.
Wow.
But what does it mean when it comes to Christianity?
Wow.
The word zucchetto means small gourd in Italian.
Small gourd?
Gourd, which is like the family that pumpkins and stuff come from.
Okay.
I believe it would be related to the word zucchinis, my guess.
Oh.
I think a zucchini might be a gourd, yeah.
Geez, you are good at this Lex Well you know I'm bilingual
So I understand multiple languages
Giving me access to greater means
Of understanding the world around me
So what does Zucchetto mean
When it comes to Christianity
And while you're writing your answers
I'll explain how the scoring works
So you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant another
point if you correctly guess the answer and by the way i'm also playing as the house and 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 so each of us can score up to two points per round which seems fair but the probability
actually favors me the house and the house always wins though if you've listened to previous episodes you know that is not necessarily
the case anyway our questions come from our great patreon supporters and if you want to write a
question sign up on any level via patreon.com slash do go on pod which is linked in the show
notes oh my god is that a cake based alarm that is my cake to be tested in one moment oh wow wow so
give me one moment I will send my message
and then I shall go check the cake
but one moment for that
and we've got to ask
how the cake's going before we get to these answers
yeah the cake looks wonderful
it smells delectula
delectula?
on a molecular level
yeah on a molecular level it it's Delecut.
It smells real good.
Do you want me to reveal one ingredient?
Yeah, one more ingredient, please.
Oh, it's a citrus.
There's a citrus in there. Oh, lemon cake.
Not lemon.
Not lemon, mate.
Okay.
Let me tell you, we'll put three guesses down.
I think you'll get the citrus.
Is this some sort of orange slice?
No, no, no.
No, you'll get it on the next one, I reckon.
The next citrus.
Oh, definitely mandarin.
You're close.
All right.
Well, we'll wait and see.
Yep.
We respect the game and we'll wait for the next round.
I think a little bit of this cake-based bee plot might make it.
I've started, since you last here, Alexi, I've started doing some... Trimming out some stuff
and putting the real juicy bits at the end.
Awesome to find out
something's not going to make the main cut
while it's happening.
No, no, I'm telling...
I mean, obviously, the game part will,
but some of that,
like when you're off at the oven
and we're hearing you rattling around,
I think some of that might get trimmed out
and put at the end.
I wouldn't cut it all together.
What a way to be put on notice.
Hey, this three line, it's not going to make it.
Hang on.
You're taking me all wrong.
The only one that's meant to be cutting the cake is me, sir.
So leave it in.
I think this whole segment is de-lecular.
All right.
So here is question number one.
The word zucchetto means small gourd in Italian.
But what does it mean in terms of Christianity?
A traditional drum used by the little drummer boy, which was made by stretching fabric across a hollowed out pumpkin.
Wow.
A golden amulet used to store and bless incense.
A skullcap worn by Catholic bishops and other Catholic clerics, a vegetable consumed
in ancient Babylonia that was considered to be the fruits of the gods, not the gourds,
or a small chimney at the Vatican that lets the people know when a new Pope meal is ready.
White smoke indicates the Pope's dinner is good to go while black smoke signifies
it's burnt wow now that you know we still use that every day in the baking world as well
yeah we look at over Alexi's shoulder there's a lot of black smoke coming from that oven
okay some wonderful answers submitted by both the house and presumably Dave and myself.
Presumably.
Any jumping out at you?
I love skullcaps.
I'll tell you, I love skullcaps and I love picturing that a little fella, you know, perhaps a priest or something or a monk with a little skullcap that's shaped like a zucchini.
I like that.
It's like a little top, you know, the little part of the zucchini, the top where the root attaches to it?
Yes.
I'm picturing that on a guy's head.
Yeah, what a beautiful adornment that would be.
I'm cackling on the inside.
I'm delighted in it.
I was thinking you more meant long ways for the zucchini,
so it just went down the middle like a mohawk, which I also like.
Wow, there are so many ways to wear a zucchetto
You must assume that
If that is the correct one
That must have been where it began
Must have been just a dried out zucchetto
Yeah absolutely
I don't know where I'm leaning
To be honest
I'm also thinking about that beautiful gourd
With the skin or whatever turned on
To turn into a beautiful drum of some kind
for the little drummer boy one of the great instruments but little drummer boy seems too
recent to be part of like it's like modern christianity oh maybe you didn't say it was
there wasn't he there when in the no maybe in the stable was he not there in the stable
i think that would be pretty annoying a A donkey, a cow, a boy doing a drum solo.
Maybe I'm thinking of Whiplash where I'm thinking it's quite a modern drummer boy.
That's the modern drummer boy.
I'm going to go Zucchetto is a little skullcap worn by, what did you say, Orthodox priests or some shit?
Catholic bishops and other Catholic clerics.
Clerics.
It's a clerical hat.
Yes. Okay. it was a great
jane silent bob film clerics we pronounce it differently down here um i think
i was also interested in the skullcap one but we also number one was pumpkin
drummer boy yes number two was the golden amulet number three incense uh the skullcap one but we also number one was pumpkin drummer boy yes number two was the golden amulet
number three incense uh the skullcap four i think it's the one i've forgotten uh the vegetable
consumed in ancient babylonia oh or the small chimney in the vatican
between i think it was between skullcap and drummer boy and alexi's going with
skullcap so please lock in Drummer Boy.
You, of course, can always go for the same.
But you want to go Drummer Boy?
Now, where's the fun in that?
Drummer Boy, please.
All right.
Let's go through who wrote the answers.
The small chimney at the Vatican.
That was written by the house.
Wow.
The vegetable consumed in ancient Babylonia was written by Alexi.
I think you must have missed the bit that was
Said it was about Christianity
Because you've gone pre-Christianity I think
Well you know that's part of the same book
Oh that's true
They love that old stuff
You're thinking First Testament
Old Testament
I'm a moron okay I'll admit it
That's what I was saying.
The golden amulet used to store and bless incense.
That was Dave.
I love amulets.
I love them.
Oh, amulets are fantastic.
What are they?
Of course, I've always said that about you.
That's one of the most amuleted men that I know, wearing a lovely amulet at all times.
At all times.
Is an amulet like one of those things that's like a little necklace that opens up?
Yeah.
And they often, you know, it's like, find the golden amulet.
Right.
Is it like the one that little orphan Annie had in the movie Annie?
I think you're thinking of a locket, mate.
A locket.
That's a locket.
An amulet's not shaped like a heart with like a message from like your parents.
Okay.
A photo of your best friend in there.
That's a modern day amulet
Amulet is more to like you know you complete a quest
And the amulet will open I think
Well that's what the little orphan Annie was trying to complete
The quest of finding her parents
Wow and then it will open
Yeah her half of the amulet
Was going to match their half
But fine if you don't get culture
Um
The uh The traditional drum used by the little drummer boy,
that was written by Kelly, a.k.a. The House.
Oh, you got me, Kelly.
So a point there for The House, meaning, Alexi, you are correct.
It's a skullcap worn by Catholic bishops and other Catholic clerics.
Wow.
Snoochie-boochie.
That must have been a Saturday Night Live sketch at one point.
I can imagine it.
A couple of bishops behind a counter.
I wasn't even supposed to be praying today.
Yeah, that's right.
All right, so quick score check if you need it.
Alexi on one point.
House on one point.
Dave, yet to score.
Okay. That brings up to score. Okay.
That brings us up to question number two.
It feels personal, but okay.
Let's move on.
I feel a mighty vengeance is about to be struck upon me.
All right.
Here it is.
This one comes from Susie from Sacramento.
Well, Sacramento Suze.
And Sacramento Suze asks,
Why did Jason Stoll of Florida get arrested on may the 12th 2022
why did jason stole of florida get arrested on may the 12th 2022 while you're writing your answers
here's some more info on zucchettos kelly writes i've paraphrased this from wikipedia.org a great
website that seems to be about the funky hats different Christians wear.
Oh, that's cool.
Always good to hear about a new online resource.
Kelly continues.
It is almost identical to the Jewish kippah or yarmulke, except for a small stem at the top.
Oh, Lex, that would be that little stem that it's got.
Wow.
It must be zucchini related.
Wow.
The zucchetto originated as the Greek pilos and is related to the beret, which itself was originally a large zucchetto.
Whoa.
Oh, my gosh.
Holy moly.
So it's a tiny beret.
It's a tiny beret.
I love that.
I might start wearing those together
Oh I think I know what they are
I've seen them on cardinals and stuff
They wear a little kind of beret thing
A little pipply on the top you know
Yes
A little tiny little pokey
That's right
Yes I'm looking at one now
Yeah it sort of looks like the top of a banana or something
Or an apple
I suppose the red one looks a lot like the top of an apple.
I would have called it an apple hat.
Appletini or something.
I can see the hunger in your eyes while you're looking at it.
You're going to frigging feast on this guy's hands.
Yeah, you wouldn't want to be wearing one of them around me, I tell you that.
Oh, I wonder if the cake's an apple cake.
I know it's...
I just think maybe the citrus clue might have been a red herring.
Oh, right.
As in a lie.
A lie.
I would know a lie.
Is that what a red herring is?
Wow.
Shall I reveal to you what the citrus in the cake is?
Oh, I think we know.
It's got to be lime.
No way, Jose.
Dave, what are you thinking?
Okay.
Grapefruit. Correct. Dave, what are you thinking? Okay. Grapefruit.
Oh.
Correct.
It is grapefruit.
Wow.
That was nothing.
Wow.
So, you've got like, it's a sour, sweet, sweetness.
It's more sweetness.
More sweetness it will translate to in the end.
That, to me, that doesn't sound like something I'd want to eat.
Wow.
My dad used to get up in the morning and squeeze a glass of grapefruit juice and eat it every- drink it every morning.
I had a sip one time.
It was awful stuff.
I think every hotel buffet with a breakfast I've ever been to have been tricked into that.
You see, there's the apple, there's the orange.
You have a glass of each and you think, may as well have a- go to the trifecta here.
I'll get the grapefruit juice thinking it's going to be delicious and sweet and refreshing,
but it is tangy.
Yeah. It's tang.
It's a powerful tang.
It's huge.
It is vile-less, unfortunately.
It sounds like it should be so good.
Grapes.
So sweet and juicy.
And fruit.
That's a tick tick.
My favourite thing that a grape is.
The fruit's so nice they named it twice Yeah
It does feel like any fruit with fruit at the end is
I mean it's trying too hard isn't it
Yeah
Absolutely
It's trying to remind you what it is
Because its taste is so far removed from what you associate with fruit
Exactly
So have we guessed
Is that the full guess
It's a grapefruit cake or there's more?
No.
There's more to it.
Much more to it.
I'll tell you the main thing of the grapefruit is I zest two grapefruits and then I infuse
sugar with the zest of the grapefruit.
Oh, my gosh.
All right.
What about...
Oh, do we have another guess now or is that grapefruit is what we got to?
We got to wait another round to have another guess.
We'll wait another round.
I'll tell you the other key ingredients.
Fantastic.
And it will be revealed to pretty much the whole cake is there.
The other ingredient is cake.
Yeah, I basically smashed the grapefruit into the cake and yum, yum, yum.
All right.
We're up to question number two from Sacramento Sue.
Why did Jason Stoll of Florida get arrested on May the 12th, 2022?
He released his pet alligator into a supermarket as an act of revenge after he was accused
of stealing deli meat.
Wow.
I would take that very personally if I was accused of stealing deli meat so I can understand
his vengeful soul.
But they're so delicious.
He threw a hot dog at a police officer.
He was transporting narcotics across state lines smuggled inside the bellies of alligators.
He tried to buy drugs off a cop at a Halloween party, assuming their uniform was a costume.
Or he committed an armed robbery using a small handheld Alligator as a weapon
Does this tell our Florida listeners
What we think of them this is all we
Know about you unless it's proven right
One of the three are right and then we
Were correct to assume that wow three of The five alligator base three of the three are right And then we were correct To assume that Wow
Three of the five
Alligator based
Three of the five
And the other ones were
Narcotics
Hot dogs based
No
Hot dogs and cop based
Yes that's right
Hot dogs and cops
Wow
It sounds like a good album name
Hot dogs and cops
You know
I like that
Dave what do you think
Okay so
Look
I don't want to be
Fact check Fred over
here, but I believe you said this took
place in May, this arrest. Were they
arrested for an incident? Are we
meant to believe that they were arrested for a Halloween
party six months after they
attended it?
It took them a while to find
them. Yeah, that makes
sense. He would have been in costume
himself at the time. Yeah, exactly. So it took have been in costume himself At the time
So it took them a while to identify who the guy was
They were looking for Dr. Victor Frankenstein
For six months
Cops work slow in Florida
Unless you're Horatio
From CSR Miami
What a guy
Which one was Horatio?
He was the one that was always
Saying a pithy line and putting the sunglasses
on as the Who player. I thought that was all of them.
No. No, he was definitely
the king. He's the redhead.
He'd be a fan. What was his actor's name?
Lex?
David Caruso? David something. It is Caruso.
How did my brain access that?
I never saw the show. Was it NYPD Blue as well?
That guy? Yeah.
Okay. So I'm thinking... So you're ruling that one out as well, that guy? Oh, yeah. Okay.
So, I'm thinking- So, you're ruling that one out?
You probably just threw a hot dog at a cop.
I don't know if that's an arrestable offense.
If I was a cop and a hot dog got tossed at me, I'd be really annoyed, but I'm not going
to go, let's get this B, you know?
I'd be saying, have another shot and opening my mouth even wider.
Let's go again, double or nothing.
And then, to differentiate the three alligator
based stories what were they in uh so you had releasing a pet alligator in a supermarket as
an act of revenge for the deli meats uh transporting narcotics inside alligators
or committing an armed robbery using a small handheld alligator. Handheld alligator.
Handheld is an incredible detail.
A sawn-off alligator.
Unfortunately, that means he was just pointing like an open stomach of an alligator.
Hey, that would work for me.
I'm like, wow, he's going to spill some hot acid and bile on me.
Yeah, this is gross.
I mean, sometimes you go with the one you
want it to be and that's the one i want it to be all right hold up with an alligator all right
locking that in for dave what are you thinking lex uh good lord almighty what am i thinking um
uh you know what maybe i will go the hot dog i'm gonna go the hot dog yeah i gotta go to hot dog. I'm going to go to hot dog. Yeah. I'm going to go to hot dog. All right.
Hot dog for Lex.
Here's who wrote the answers.
He released his pet alligator in a supermarket as an act of revenge.
That was Dave Warnke.
I love deli meats.
He was transporting narcotics across state lines inside the bellies of alligators.
That was Alexi.
He tried to buy drugs off a cop at a halloween party that was the
house damn you dave sorry for i did the and so i should have just said a dress-up party
i flew too close to the sun much like icarus wow one of my ancestors uh he committed an armed robbery using a small handheld alligator that was
also the house damn it but funnily enough suzy's initial answer was very close to yours dave
she wrote he threw an alligator into a fast food restaurant and i extrapolated that to
handheld alligator.
And then that means one point of the house there.
And the correct answer is he threw a hot dog at a police officer.
What the hell?
So, once again, one point to the house, one point to Alexei.
I think that's not that bad.
The cop is corrupt, I'll say.
Depends if the hot dog is covered in sauce.
Oh, okay.
Or a mustard.
I was imagining just a boiled dog.
That's it.
No bun.
Yeah, just flopped onto a raw dog.
You got raw dog to cop.
Oh, raw or cooked?
Yeah, man, a cold dog.
That's insulting.
If it's nicely cooked in a bun. Yeah, you appreciate that. Yeah, that, a cold dog. That's insulting. If it's nicely cooked in a bun.
Yeah, you appreciate that.
Yeah, that feels like, what is this?
That's just teppanyaki.
He's just throwing food that you enjoy.
All right.
Question number three comes from Betsy from California.
And Betsy's question is, which of the following is a real breed of cattle?
Which of the following is a real breed of cattle? So, you've just got to come up with a fake name for cattle, a breed of cattle? Which of the following is a real breed of cattle?
So you've just got to come up with a fake name for cattle,
a breed of cattle.
While you're writing your answers,
I'll let the audience know a little bit more about the hot dog incident.
According to the Channel 8 News website,
a Newport Ritchie man was arrested on a felony charge Saturday
after authorities said he threw a hot dog at an officer
who was warning him of violating a city ordinance. Officers said he threw a hot dog at an officer who was warning him of
violating a city ordinance. Officers
said Jason Stoll, 47, ignored
the warnings and continued to sell hot dogs
in the roadway Saturday around
12am after his street
closure permit had ended.
Oh my gosh.
Stoll was asked to put the hot dog down, but
authorities said he continued his attempt
to sell it. Put the hot dog down.
No, who wants to buy it?
Stoll then became extremely upset before he intentionally threw a hot dog at the officer.
The officer was in full police uniform at the time of the incident.
Stoll was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer And resisting an officer
Without violence
I mean
He's lucky
For that to be called
Without violence
But without violence
Are they saying that
Like so
The charge is
You didn't use enough violence
Yeah
Our problem here is
You didn't resist enough
If you're gonna resist
Do it with violence mate
If convicted
He would face up to
Three years in jail
No That's really bad Up to a minimum Minimum Up to a minimum Violence, mate. If convicted, he would face up to three years in jail.
No.
Up to a minimum.
Minimum?
Up to a minimum of three years in jail.
That's a baffling sentence.
According to Susie, a little bit more information to paint a picture of this man.
He's got a tattoo that says, hustle, eat, sleep, repeat.
Motto that we all live by in some regard, I guess.
I agree with Susie.
He says, it's a good motto.
Bang on, Sus.
Here's question number three.
Which of the following is a real breed of cattle?
Bahama Brahma?
White spoofed Macy? Fucking oh Like what?
Hoofed Macy maybe
But
That's fantastic
Oh shit Why spoof Macy? That's fantastic Oh shit
Why spoofed Macy
That's one of my favourite actors
The Adelaide Cows
Adelaide
Plural
Florida Cracker
Or the Humongous Heifer
Wow
I can't believe one of them's real
Bahama Brahma
What spoofed Macy The Adelaide Cows Florida Cracker Or the Humongous Heifer. Wow. I can't believe one of them's real. Bahama Brahma, White Spoofed Macy, the Adelaide Cows, Florida Cracker, or the Humongous Heifer.
Wow.
I've been trying to bring Cracker back recently.
I've been calling people Cracker.
Yeah.
And Honky.
I've been calling people Honkies and Crackers recently.
Wow.
I don't think it's ever been really used over here much as a term.
If I hear Cracker, I think that person's like a lot of fun.
Oh, he's a real cracker.
He's a cracker.
He's a cracker jack.
She's an absolute cracker.
That seems like a point.
But yeah, you're trying to bring it back in an egg.
Yeah, because, you know, we use skip a lot in Australia.
Skip is kind of what we would call a cracker.
But now I'm trying to bring cracker and honky back.
I'm going to call people honkies.
Yeah, okay.
So, I'm tempted to go cracker because of that.
But the other ones I'm looking at,
heifer, I know is a term used for cows and stuff like that.
It's true.
But cracker is so tempting.
And also, white spoofed maize.
Yeah.
How do you spell that? How do you spell it? White, as you And also white spoofed Macy. Yeah. How do you spell that?
How do you spell it?
White, as you'd expect, spoofed or spoofed, as you'd expect.
And Macy and Macy, E-Y.
Wow, and you would expect those together.
Yeah, it's a tautology, really, isn't it?
White spoofed.
Let me know if it's out of the ordinary.
You can just say spoofed Macy.
me know if it's out of the ordinary you can just say spoofed macy um i i'm gonna go bahama brahma bahama brahma for wet yeah because probably there are cows in the bahamas probably and i don't know
what brahma is maybe it's a cow and what do you think Dave
What was the humongous heifer
Humongous heifer
I reckon that that could be like some sort of
Super breed of cow
Like and they're real big
Like Okja
Yeah I'm going to say humongous heifer
Right locking that in for Dave
Here's who wrote the answers
What spoofed Macy was Dave Warnke
Wow Dave congratulations You want to take a look at the process Thank you so much that in for Dave. Here's who wrote the answers. White spoofed Macy was Dave Warnecke.
Wow.
Dave, congratulations. Do you want to talk us through the process?
Thank you so much.
I'll talk you through it.
I tried it.
I was going to write white spotted, but for some reason, auto-corrected to spoof or spoof.
And I was like, I know what I want to call this.
So, it's part AR. Yeah call this. Wow. Wow. Wow. So it was part AI.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, yeah.
Outsourced.
Yeah, co-written by Mr. Jobs and his famous algorithm.
The white spoofed mosey.
The Adelaide cows.
That was the house.
I forgot about Adelaide cows.
Do you remember there was an old ad where the...
Because the Adelaide Crows are a football team in Australia,
and there was an ad where the guy painting the logos on the field misspelt it.
There was this whole ad campaign about the Adelaide Cows.
That's a good campaign.
I can't remember what it was advertising, but yeah.
Probably a pie or something.
Yeah, probably a pie.
Probably a pie or a beer.
Insurance.
Or a Toyota Camry.
The Bahama Brahma, that was the house wow in particular
betsy from california wrote that one and uh i just looked it up so you said it sounds like it could
be a breed of cow and it a brahman is a cow so it's one n off being an actual- Oh, wow. Apparently Brahma is a Hindu god.
So the Bahama Brahma.
Oh, wow.
I mean, there's a lot going on there and it's all good stuff.
Wow, it's really good.
Wow.
Well, so can I get a point anyway?
Have I guessed it?
Ah, no.
The house will get a point there.
But you will get a point because Dave picked your answer, the humongous heifer.
Oh, it felt so real.
Meaning- Oh, you want to talk us through your process there well humongous is one of my favorite words heifer
another one of my favorite words so i either had to put them together a bit of alliteration there
can't go wrong uh that means the correct answer you were on the right track early lexi it is
florida cracker no i feel so pissed off. I thought Dave wrote Cracker.
I'm more of a spoof kind of guy.
I mean, if you want to bring it back, you could use the Florida Cracker cattle as maybe the emblem.
That's awesome.
This guy's a real Florida Cracker cow.
So, that brings us up to question number four.
And this one is by Tim Kaiser from Minnesota.
And he's asking a Minnesota-based question, too.
Love a bit of local lingo.
Tim's question is, what is the name of the cheeseburger invented in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
where the cheese is injected directly into the meat patty?
Oh, my God.
Mmm, delicious.
What is the name of the cheeseburger invented in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, where the cheese is injected straight into the meat? While you're writing your answers,
here's a little bit more info about the Florida Cracker. According to Betsy, the Florida Cracker
cattle are a heritage breed originating from the cattle brought to the Americas by the Spanish in
the 1500s. According to floridamemory.com, the origin of the term Florida cracker
is somewhat in dispute.
Some say it refers to the cracking sound
made by the whips used by early white settlers
to herd their cattle.
Others say the term comes from the use of cracked corn
in making moonshine,
a common activity on the Florida frontier.
Hmm, what do you think?
And while you're still writing your answers,
let's go for a quick break
i'll tell you the other ingredient for my cake okay here we go here we go it is an olive oil
grapefruit citrus cake olive oil we were not going to ever guess that yeah olive oil grapefruit
citrus cake so that doesn't sound like it should be good
well it will be good let's trust me it's my new signature cake where have you found it yeah
i found it from a chef that i quite like molly bars cookbook and uh yeah you use olive oil and
greek yogurt as the two fats in the cake all right your answers are answers are in. So here's question number four.
What is the name of the cheeseburger
invented in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
where the cheese is injected
directly into the meat?
The camemberger.
Oh.
Oh.
That makes me hungry.
Great freaking cheese
to be inside a burger.
The smack jack.
Oh.
Juicy Lucy.
The Dakota dripper.
Or the sweaty woman. Wow. Wow. Juicy Lucy The Dakota Dripper Or The Sweaty Woman
Wow
All beautiful delicacies
Sweaty Woman
What was number four before Sweaty Woman?
The Dakota Dripper
Trying to figure out why a Minnesota thing
Would be named after Dakota
Or is Dakota in Minnesota?
Dakota, Minnesota
Oh my god, that makes sense
That's not true at all North Dakota and South Dakota are states Where is or is Dakota in Minnesota? Dakota, Minnesota. Oh, my God. That makes sense.
That's not true at all.
Where is Dakota? North Dakota and South Dakota are states.
Oh, it's a state.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that's what I was trying to get to.
Yeah.
But when you're like, oh, Dakota, Minnesota.
It makes sense because it rhymes.
Anything that rhymes must be within the other.
It's true.
Rhyming's rhymes are facts in this world.
I would say.
Rhymes are facts.
Rhymes overrule any of you little geography books?
If it fits, you must acquit.
It makes sense.
So, Dave, it sounds like you've got a bit of an inkling here,
a bit of a feeling.
Well, this is going to be one of those days.
No, I'm thinking that just because I find it appetizing
doesn't mean it's probably right.
But the Cammon burger does sound like something I want to eat.
We had smack. Smack Jack. juicy lucy dakota dripper sweaty woman
well you know she is walking down the street what that is quite a perspiring thing to do
power walking down the street yeah it the least appetizing Sounding of them
And none
None of them sound
That appetizing
But the sweaty woman
It's uh
But I was
I was trying to think
You know like
Adelaide has the
Abomination
Which is like
Their specialty
Which is what they call
Their version of the
Halal snack pack
I think
Yes
Or something like that
But um
Yeah sweaty woman
I don't know if I'd
Personally eat a sweaty woman.
But they have always weird names.
Like, all these, like, little American delicacies that, like, are across the country.
I think they all have, like, these little odd names.
Yeah, true.
They're all proud of them as well.
They're so proud of them.
Dave's a big fan of a Vermont special.
Oh, Vermont.
Oh, Vermont, sorry.
My favorite U.S. state is Vermont, Alexi.
One of the least populous ones.
But they are famous for the creamy, which I haven't tried yet.
What's the creamy?
It's basically like a soft serve.
Imagine that, but way creamier somehow.
Wow, okay.
I like that.
He's never actually had it.
And he's never been to Vermont.
But it sounds beautiful.
It looks beautiful.
I guess I've never been to Gary.
I mean, I'm wearing Gary merch right now.
I love Gary so much.
He loves Gary, Indiana.
But I'm finally going to hopefully go to Gary, Indiana this year, Alexi.
Wow.
Wow.
I hope that comes true.
Thank you so much.
I hope that I get a creamy this year.
That's all I'm saying.
I'd love to join you in Vermont for a creamy.
We'll fly in, get a creamy flyer.
Yeah.
a creamy we'll fly and get a creamy fly yeah um so i'm wondering if dakota dripper is either a red herring or the name it's been put in there as like something that's notable because it's not
even from dakota you know what i mean like am i overthinking it here camembert is that a popular
cheese in the states i don't know i think they more prefer the orange stuff yeah they're like
jack which is an option here Smack Jack Smack Jack yeah
Mmm
Jack cheese
They love Jack cheese
For a burger
They love processed cheese
Yeah
A cheese slice you know
Mmm
American style cheese
But you could
Melt a camembert nicely
And then put it into
Some sort of syringe
That's true
But
Dakota Dripper
I mean it's speaking to me
I'm gonna say Dakota Dripper I think it's one of those Wow There'll be a strange story behind it Mmm Okay I'm putting the Dakota Dripper. I mean, it's speaking to me. I'm going to say Dakota Dripper.
I think it's one of those.
There'll be a strange story behind it.
Okay.
I'm putting the Dakota Dripper.
I think it's Monterey Jack, the big.
That's one of the big American ones.
Yeah.
All right.
So, Dakota Dripper for Dave.
I'm a looking Juicy Lucy.
And Juicy Lucy.
Yeah.
For Alexi.
Would you both eat a burger like this? If you're in town, say you're in Minnesota. And they said,. Oh. Yeah. For Lexi. Would you both eat a burger like this?
If you're in town, say you're in Minnesota.
And they said, this is the specialty.
It's like a beef patty with cheese injected.
Hell yes, I would.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Mmm.
Yeah, yeah.
I love cheese on burgers.
My tummy is gurgling.
Well, you've got a whole cake behind you, sir.
I know, know, know, know.
All right.
Let's go through.
Who wrote the answers? The Camemberger. That was the house. It, no, no, no. All right, let's go through. Who wrote the answers?
The Camemberger.
That was the house.
It's a great name.
Great, great suggestion.
Definitely the most appetizing of the five.
The Smack Jack.
That was Dave.
Wow.
Thank you.
Wonderful.
Because you could smack a burger.
Oh, yeah.
Slap a bun on a burger.
I was wondering if it smacks like a nickname for heroin, which you inject.
And then Jack Cheese. Maybe I overthought it a bit here. No, a bun on a burger. I was wondering if it smacks like a nickname for heroin, which you inject. Oh, no.
And then Jack Cheese.
Maybe I overthought it a bit here.
No, I think it's fantastic.
Injecting cheese.
That's sort of where I went with.
Love it.
The sweaty woman.
That was Tim, aka The House.
Tim, you're a sick puppy, brother.
Tim, what were you thinking?
You're a sick puppy, mate. What have we said? We said the Dakota Dripper. Tim what were you thinking Sick puppy mate
What have we said
We said the Dakota Dripper
That was what Dave went for
That was Alexi
Oh great work mate
A Dakota Dripper could also be a sweaty woman as well I guess
And the correct answer was Juicy Lucy
So maximum points for Alexi there
And let it be revealed now
I knew the answer
I've fucking eaten the Juicy Lucy
I've made the Juicy Lucy at home.
What do you mean?
I've made one.
I've eaten one from my own hands that I've birthed into this world.
That's incredible.
What was it like?
It was cracker ass, man.
It's funny.
I've worked so hard to avoid, because you're a cinephile.
We all know that.
Registered.
And I had to work hard to find a movie that I thought you wouldn't know, but I didn't
think that you're also a burgerphile.
I'm a foodie.
You're a foodie.
I let it be known.
I'm a person who appreciates the culinary arts and form.
That brings us up to question number five.
And this comes from Simon from Seaford in Victoria.
In 2015, a student journalist for the University of Oklahoma's newspaper leaked What Secret
About Jack White? What secret about Jack White.
What secret about Jack White was leaked in 2015?
And how would the student newspaper know it?
Wow, amazing.
While you're writing your answers, here's some more info about Juicy Lucy's from Thrillist.com.
I don't know if I'm saying that right.
Unlike every other food served in a restaurant, the Juicy Lucy comes with a warning not to eat it.
Food served in a restaurant.
The Juicy Lucy comes with a warning not to eat it.
Dave, I feel like if we finally get to America for a Do Go On tour, our other podcast, we've got to tick off some of these food things.
Juicy Lucy.
And you're not supposed to eat it.
So, it's in Minnesota.
In the Twin Cities.
Yeah.
Okay.
But it says it comes with a warning not to eat it.
At least not at first.
And this is what the waitress told the author here. You boys know you need to wait a minute or two
Or you'll get burned
Oh right
Wow
So this is at Matt's Bar
One of the restaurants that claims to be the originator of it
It's one of those classic ones where two different restaurants say they came up with it
I had heard as well that when someone bit into it the first time
They're like that's one juicy Lucy.
That is right.
That's what Matt's Bar claims is the origin story.
Wow.
And they also spell it J-U-C-Y.
Juicy.
So, the other place spells Lucy wrong, L-U-I-C-Y.
The other place is the 5-8 Club.
And when they order it there, they also get a warning from the server saying,
give it a little time before you bite or it'll bite back.
Oh.
Not a bad little line, that.
Yeah.
But they do spell Lucy, Juicy and Lucy correctly.
Imagine having to say that 70 times in one shift.
Yeah.
God, the light would really go out from behind your eyes.
So, apparently it is a Minneapolis creation and it's unique to the gopher state.
I like that that's what they're called.
Like, gopher is in the creature, or, like, go for, like, let's go for this.
I mean, it's probably both, but it's written like the creature.
Wow, okay.
I'd love to see one of those creatures in person.
I'd love to see it, yeah, pop up from a burrow, like, just...
Like in Caddyshack?
Okay.
I would go nuts to see a little head pop out of a burrow one day.
Just start cheering.
Hell yeah, brother.
That's funny.
We should be feeling like that when we see a possum crawl along a power lawn.
Oh, but you know, that's old hat for us.
I've seen it many a time.
I remember when I first went to America, I saw squirrels running around and I was going, oh, my God.
It's the Chippendale Rescue Rangers.
And Americans were not-
They were like, what are you talking about?
They're just little pests.
What are you talking about?
These are the heroes here to save the day.
So, the Juicy Lucy involves essentially combining two thin patties around a ball of American cheese and sealing the corners.
It's delicious when you put it like that.
So, that when the burger is cooked, the cheese inside gets melty and gooey and explodes in your mouth when you break through.
There is no dispute that Juicy Lucy's burger origin is Cedar Avenue in South Minneapolis, but where on Cedar Avenue is a whole other story.
Matt's Bar is one that claims it,
explaining that it came up with the burger in 1954
when a customer asked for two hamburger patties
with a slice of cheese in the middle.
And as legend has it,
the customer took a bite and exclaimed,
that's one Juicy Lucy.
Wow.
It's so funny.
Like back in the day,
you hear about all these things Being invented
Because there's one guy
Who's like
Yeah you got nothing
On the menu that appeals to me
Can I get two fucking patties
And just cook some shit
In the middle of them
Put it on a bun
Like every food
Is invented that way
It's like some
Annoying customer
Who doesn't like
Anything on the menu
Yeah or they've run out
Of an ingredient or something
You hear of those sometimes
Oh yeah
We were meant to make The salad with this kind of cheese
Oh yeah I heard that's how nachos were invented
They just ran out of tortillas or whatever
You know for wraps and went
Oh why don't we just use these sort of chippies
Yeah
And you know it's a genius
Genius is 1% inspiration
99% chippies
Chippies
Yeah
So apparently the reason they lost the I and they now spell juicy wrong was because the original sign had a typo and they never got another sign made.
So, they just rolled with it.
And Matt offers a warning saying, remember, if it's spelled correctly, you might just be eating a shameless ripoff.
Oh, wow.
So, they say the incorrect spelling is how you know it's it's right the juicy lucy
origin story from five eight club is a little murkier apparently there's just a bit on their
website that has a blue ribbon that says first on it and it says the juicy lucy a homegrown hero
so it feels like they weren't really even they're not out there claiming it that yeah they're just
saying it's from this area yeah so of. So, but apparently they will.
Maybe that's just trying to avoid court.
They're very litigious over there, I've heard.
Yeah, they love to sue the piss off people.
All right, here is question number five.
In 2015, a student journalist for the University of Oklahoma's newspaper leaked what Jack White-related secret?
His tour manager's top secret guacamole recipe?
He hasn't brushed his teeth since he was 20.
Where Jack White gets his hair dyed jet black.
Jack White had voted Republican in the last three elections.
Or he only eats from the four basic food groups as set out by Paulie Shore and Encino Man.
Milk duds, dairy group.
Sweet tarts, fruit group. Burritos, dairy group. Sweet tarts, fruit group.
Burritos, meat group.
And corn nuts for vegetable group.
And of course, he always washes it down by wheezing the juice.
Wow, I love that.
I love Paulie Shaw style humor.
And maybe Jack Watts arrived age where he thinks that's funny to say.
Maybe. So you've got the secret guacamole recipe. And maybe Jack White's the right age where he thinks that's funny to say Maybe
So you've got
The secret guacamole recipe
Hasn't brushed his teeth
Where he gets his hair dyed
That he voted Republican
Or he is on the Paulie Shaw diet
I think
I'm either going most rock and roll
Or least rock and roll
And I would say least rock and roll, probably voting Republican,
because that would be really shitty to find that out.
But I'm all-
Wait, why would that be shitty?
You know, about 50% of my audience is Republican.
That can't be true.
Well, sucked in, dude.
I think it just sounds incredibly un-rock and roll
So maybe that's it
But I'm also thinking
What's the most rock and roll then?
Honestly, the most rock and roll
Probably not brushing your teeth
Is your 20
He's an odd guy, isn't he?
Republicans, big teeth brushes
That's the one thing I agree with the most
Dental care
But no dental plan
I'm gonna go
He doesn't brush his teeth
Because maybe he does some weird thing
Where he's like
Oh yeah
I have some new technology that I use
Or I use a mouthwash that does it
Or someone else brushes his teeth
Yeah
That's the technicality
Someone else brushes them
And I've heard that Brad Pitt reeks
I've heard he Brad Pitt reeks.
I've heard he stinks because he doesn't, like, use deodorant or something.
Like, they're all weird.
You never say stinks or reeks when you're saying beautifully.
No.
Oh, he reeks heavenly to me.
He reeks of heaven and grapefruit.
Pungent odour.
In a good way Alright
He don't brush
He don't brush
He don't brush
And the other
Republican
Dyes hair black
Guacamole recipe
It's pretty funny
Or
Encino man dye
Oh okay
Okay
I mean
Maybe he does
But do you have to go
To the same person
To dye your hair
But like he'd be on tour
All the time
Surely anyone can
Black
It's just
The same everywhere Isn't it Well in his defence I. It's just the same everywhere, isn't it?
Well, in his defense, I have been going to the same hairdresser since I was 15 years old.
And I never will go to anyone else.
Wow.
What's his name or their name?
Their name is Angie.
Shout out to Angie.
One of my favorite people.
Love you, Angie.
I go to her garage in Croydon Park and she slips my hair.
That's turned me into thinking black hair.
You're right.
People do pick someone and he's like a pretty eccentric kind of guy.
And I know that, you know, maybe he's on tour.
Maybe he charts a flight back to his hometown, gets the hair dye, continues on the tour.
All right.
Locking that in for Dave.
Here's who wrote the answers.
The Pauly Shore Diet.
That was the house.
Wonderful workhouse.
Voting Republican. That was the house. Wonderful workhouse.
Voting Republican.
That was Alexi.
Yeah, I was being quite nasty.
I was trying to joke you into a direction there.
Wow.
I don't know how I can trust you ever again.
Yes, I'm wily.
I'm wily as.
Well, wily Alexi.
You fell for Dave's.
Yeah, it looks like you outwired yourself, my friend.
I slithered down the wrong hole today.
He hasn't brushed his teeth since he was 20.
It was Dave Warnicke.
I thought it sounded like he would do some sort of weird new age thing for sure.
Yeah, you got me. Dave is on the board.
That's your first point, Dave.
Yes!
Tell me I can double my score now.
Come on.
You can, but you didn't.
Oh, no.
You picked the one written by Simon, a.k.a. The House.
I mean, the correct answer is The Leak was his tour manager's top secret guacamole recipe.
That's wild.
Wow.
So, score update.
After five rounds, we've got Dave on one point, The House on four points, but out in front on five points, it's Alexi.
Wow. Wow, on four points. But out in front on five points, it's Alexi.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
This feels electrifying to be me right now.
Can we also say Simon is on the same score as me as well?
I chose his answer.
He's on one.
Yeah.
Well, if you treat it that way, then quite a few people are on equal to you.
Damn it.
But they've got no chance to score anymore.
That's true. So, hopefully hopefully If I can get one more point
I will have beaten
Betsy's also on the board
Because of Bahama Brahma
Bahama Brahma
And Susie's on
Because of the handheld alligator
So
Of course
What's her name
Scottsdale Suze
Sacramento Suze
Sacramento Suze
So we're at two questions
Left here Here's question number six This one comes from Jim Bates from Sackett's Harbour in New York Sacramento Suits. Sacramento Suits. So, we're at two questions left here.
Here's question number six.
This one comes from Jim Bates from Sackett's Harbor in New York.
Oh, Jim Bates.
He's probably, I think he's the most read out question writer.
He's prolific in the question.
He just writes great questions.
And Jim's question this time is, what happened between March 10 and March 21, 2021 in Taiwan?
Something happened there.
Obviously, something noteworthy enough to make news. and March 21, 2021 in Taiwan. Something happened there.
Obviously, something noteworthy enough to make news.
What happened between March 10 and March 21,
11-day period in 2021 in Taiwan?
While you're writing those answers,
let me tell you more about Jack White's leak.
According to Vulture,
a student journalist for the University of Oklahoma's newspaper leaked White's concert rider and his tour
manager's guacamole recipe went viral, as well as White's perceived hatred of bananas.
Many fans and detractors used it as more evidence that he's a demanding prima donna.
In an open letter titled, For God's Sakes, White lashed out at all the sites covering
this story, pointing out that the rider exists to take care of his crew, venue workers and guests.
Quote, what you're looking for is someone throwing a tantrum because they didn't get their brown M&Ms.
Sorry to disappoint, he wrote.
Can I go back to making music now?
No.
Okay.
Crochet it is.
That does now kind of sound like a tantrum joke.
All right.
Answers are in for question number six, our penultimate question.
Wow.
Does that mean second last?
Is that right?
It does.
And I think finding that out when you hear the word penultimate and then later you find
out that it means second last, not most ultimate.
Yeah.
Is a really key part in becoming a grown up.
I agree.
I think I remember, you know, making that journey and it was my penultimate time using
it incorrectly.
I used it one more time just to test the waters.
One last slip up.
All right.
Here's question six.
What happened between March 10 and March 21, 2021 in Taiwan?
Keanu Reeves was there on holiday.
The excitement caused incredible traffic delays the
star spotters swamped the sweeps swamped the streets trying to get pictures a limited edition
bts sneaker led to riots when supplies ran out hundreds of people legally changed their name to
salmon a man broke the record for longest ice skating session,
or the Taiwanese parliament was officially suspended as a cool-down period after daily
fistfights had broken out on the floor of the legislature every day for a week.
Wowza, wowza.
Wow.
So, one of the...
There were two that were quite close together, and I thought they were one at first, but
they're not.
So, Keanu Reeves and BTS
Both
Those two
No
No it was the Salmon one
Oh the Salmon one
So hundreds of people legally
Changed their name to Salmon
That was one
And then
And then a man broke the record
For longest ice skating session
Wow
And what was his name?
Salmon
Oh god
Okay
I'll never know
Because if he broke the longest
Ice skating session And his name was Salmon I could, God. Okay. I'll never know. Because if he broke the longest ice skating session and his name was Salmon, I could understand
why many people would want to change their name.
To their new hero.
Wow.
Dave, I hand you the floor.
Please begin to speak.
I'm sorry that it's me going first because I have no idea.
Every now and then you do see like, you know, like world news.
It's like, check out what's going on in Botswana's parliament or something in there.
Isn't it funny that you think it's an overseas parliament?
Exactly.
They get up to pretty wacky things overseas.
That's all they do.
I'll be honest.
That's the one that's captured my attention for the same reasons as well.
Yeah.
And it also feels like date based.
I'm like, why are people changing their name to Salmon for an 11 day period?
Unless it's like for some sort of festival or something.
And Keanu's there.
Maybe they just got that Salmon dance song for the Chemical Brothers.
Yes.
Great song.
Okay.
I'm thinking Parliament.
I'm thinking Parliament.
With apologies to any Taiwanese listeners if this is not how your Parliament behaves.
All right.
Locking that in for Dave.
I was also thinking parliament, but now that Dave has put it in my mind
that it might be a rude thing to choose,
I'm now also grappling that maybe I should pick something else.
Aye, aye, aye.
It's the period, though, that 10-day period or whatever.
It makes so much sense that that's like a build-up of things but then also if you're a politician you're going into work to get your
ass beat every day after it's happened like honestly day one you're like okay fuck that'll
never happen again you come day two and you get smacked in the head again day three are you going
back all right back again i might just go something else instead i'm gonna go to bts seems like a long
time 10 days is too long for that to happen that's what i thought too i am gonna go salmon
oh shit i know that's wrong but i'm gonna look in salmon there's no way i also want it to be right
though come on all right let's go through who wrote the answers.
Keanu Reeves on holiday.
That was Alexi Toleopoulos.
Toleopoulos.
And just classic cinephile stuff, that.
Yes.
Keanu Reeves.
Only the deep cuts of me, Keanu Reeves.
Limited edition BTS sneaker led to riots.
That was Jim, aka The House.
Jim, congratulations.
A man breaking the record for longest ice skating session.
That was Dave Warnicke.
It was.
I know Dave loves Guinness World Records.
That's why I suspected it might have been his.
You got me.
Guilty.
Guilty as charged.
The Taiwanese parliament being suspended for a cool down.
That was also Jim, aka The House.
The correct answer is hundreds of people Legally changed their name
To salmon
Stop
What the fuck
Stop it
No
No
No no no
You're joking
Yes yes yes
Well I think we can say
The best man
And the best answer won
Oh my god
How is that possible though
Okay we'll find out
We'll find out
Find out in a second
I want to say Jim was a great question writer Because Dave and I How is that possible, though? Okay, we'll find out. We'll find out. Find out in a second.
I'll say Jim was a great question writer because Dave and I were both so sure that was a parliament thing.
It sounded so real in my head.
I'm like, I think I saw that on the news.
Jim is very good at this.
Jesus, Jim.
Great work, Jim.
He's put Sackett's Harbour on the map for me as well.
I've never heard it outside of the context. Of Jim. Of Jim. Great work, Jim. He's put Sackett's Harbour on the map for me as well. I've never heard it outside of the context of Jim.
Wow.
I will look up Sackett's Harbour on now.
I feel like I want to visit.
Where is it?
New York.
Sackett's Harbour.
It sounds beautiful. Oh, the first picture that I saw when I was in Sackett's Harbour,
it was beautiful.
It was a beautiful sunset.
Are you seeing that sunset?
Yeah, that's magic.
Oh, my God.
Sackett's Harbour.
Wow.
Wow.
Gorgeous place, New York.
Is it near the big apple?
Nope.
Is it upstate New York?
Yeah, it's a long way away.
All right, there you go.
It's on Lake Ontario.
It's getting close to Canada.
Yeah, not that far.
Well, quite far Because America's big
But not that far
From the creamy
Heights of Vermont
Oh Vermont
Borders New York
And the
Only
The population was
1,450
At the 2010 census
So
Wow
Jim is
He's
He could probably
Realistically get
Everyone in Sackets Harbour

Oh, then we could do a live episode in Sackets Harbour.
I would love to be the guest.
I hope I become a celebrity in Sackets. If he fulfills our dream of getting every single person in that town to listen,
we will come to Sackets Harbour.
How do you feel about that, Jim?
Jimmy there.
Jim, answer me.
Jim, you're not listening anymore.
You stopped listening.
I don't know.
We never hear from Jim again
Please don't come to my town
Yeah
He doesn't want us
Alright
So we're up to the
Ultimate question
Here am I saying that right
Yes
Ultimate love it
The ultimate question
And this one comes from
Someone you both know
Cameron James
Cameron James
As I live and breathe
My partner
Ready to betray me
I'm sure
So I messaged Because I get very nervous when you're on Alexi
Trying to figure out a movie that you might not have heard of
So I messaged Cam and I said I've got Alexi coming on the show
Any suggestions for a movie he wouldn't have heard of
And he said God that's a tough one lol
But he gave me three options and I picked one of those
Are you ready?
Wow gosh I hope so So But he gave me three options and I picked one of those. Are you ready?
Gosh, I hope so.
So.
He does know my knowledge very well, so he might have helped you out.
Fantastic.
The question is, what is the synopsis of the 1970 film The Travelling Executioner?
Imagine if I'd seen it.
I've never heard of it.
So, he's done well.
He's done it. What is the synopsis of the 1970 film the traveling executioner while your answers are being written here's some more info about the
salmon incident this is according to Jim these people wanted to take advantage of a sushi chain
promotion that offered free sushis to guests whose names included the word salmon. This phenomenon was dubbed the salmon chaos. According to the BBC,
officials have issued a plea asking people to stop visiting government offices to request the
name change. The restaurant offered an all-you-can-eat sushi meal to anyone with the name
salmon on their ID card. Unimpressed officials said the rush was wasting government time.
The offer began when sushi restaurant chain
Akindo Sushiro said anyone with the Chinese characters in their name could get free food
for themselves and five friends. It led to many people, I said dozens, but I've heard hundreds as
well, led to dozens or hundreds of people requesting a name change. The Taipei Times
reported adding that applicants pay around $3 for a new ID card and registration certificate.
One student said she had changed her name
to Kew Salmon Rice Bowl,
but planned to change it back the next day.
Other salmon-themed names included Salmon Prince,
Meteor Salmon King, and Salmon Fried Rice,
according to AFP news agency.
Two others managed to eat around $460 worth of sushi in one go
and posted online, quote,
I do not think we will want to eat salmon again for a while.
They have since tightened up the rules
so names can only be changed for more genuine reasons,
though I don't know if you'll find a more genuine reason than free sushi.
Does that make sense to you?
I know you're busy writing your
answers but it was for free food basically yeah i mean did you some of the names that they came
up with were pretty fun i thought salmon prince i i worship the salmon prince salmon fried rice
but my favorite meteor salmon king meteor Meteor Amazing Alright your answers are in
So here is the final question
Oh and I should say
This is worth
Triple points
Hell yeah
Godfather
So it truly is still
Anyone's game
I still have a chance
Dave if you get maximum points
You leap to the lead here
Woohoo
Wow
And Sacramento Suze
Is the only one
Out of the game
Yeah
Sorry Sacramento Suze And Simon All you need to the game. Sorry, Sacramento Suze.
And Simon.
All you need to do, Dave, is get Alexi to pick yours and for you to pick the correct one, a new win.
All right.
And what do I win?
A new car?
Oh, my God, yes.
That was going to be the secret surprise at the end.
Oh, a 1988 Suzuki Swift.
All right.
Here's the final question.
What is the synopsis of the 1970 film The Travelling Executioner?
Right, here's the final question.
What is the synopsis of the 1970 film The Travelling Executioner?
An emotionless man travels around the United States,
letting workers for a large conglomerate know that they are no longer required.
His whole world view is turned upside down when he is asked to fire his long-lost daughter.
That's option one.
Option two.
Stacey Keech is electrifying as Jonas Kandide, an ex-carnie who in 1918 travels around the Bayou executing people.
At $100 a head, he renders his services with love and care until he is seduced by a woman marked for his portable electric chair.
That's option two.
Okay.
Option three.
Jessica King wants nothing more than a simple life.
But when, due to a mix-up, a time-travelling hitman has her name on his list,
she must prove
she isn't the one responsible for muddling up the space-time continuum and she better do it fast
that's option three option four in medieval europe gustav is the last of the executioners
a group of anonymous men that perform sanctioned beheadings gustav finds light in his dark
existence by playing the lute and enchanting maidens as he stoically
travels across countries lopping off heads at the king's behest well finally don waddle is the
hottest prospect in college football nicknamed the traveling executioner he's predicted to go
number one in the upcoming nfl draft but will his promising future come unstuck when he receives an
ominous note from an anonymous source that reads, I know who you did last summer.
Wow.
Don Waddle.
Don Waddle.
Some of the names are great.
Stacey Keach.
Yes.
Stacey Keach.
Wow.
Okay.
I'm playing a different game here now, Dave, because I'm trying to think what Cameron thinks
my movie knowledge doesn't have.
Ah, yes.
So, I'm thinking a different game.
Did Cameron write one of the answers?
No, he didn't write.
I wrote both the house options.
Okay.
That makes it more difficult.
Because Stacey Keech is an actor that I love,
and I feel like that might have been Cameron putting a Stacey Keech in there
to entice me over. I don't think I've putting a Stacey Keech in there to entice me over now I
Don't think I've heard of Stacey Keech
Wow Stacey Keech is a lovely actor I
Love Stacey Keech he's in a movie called
Fat City well I don't know Cameron he
Knows I like American stuff so maybe it's
A European maybe European shit is what
He's going to pick me off because I Eric my all my
areas of expertise I would say is 1970s
Americana now I'm thinking mmm what was
the first one again the first one was
about an emotionless man traveling the
US letting workers for a large
conglomerate know that they are no longer
required mmm fuck that sounds like a movie i would really like i'm imagining walter mattau as a guy
pissing everybody off hey what were the other can you go through them again please yep so you had
the emotional that first one the the guy the the firer then we had st Stacey Keach electrifying as Jonas Kandard
an ex-Khani who
travels around the Bayou executing people
for a hundred bucks a head.
Can I tell you if you don't know who Stacey Keach
is he's perfect to play
a Khani that kills people. He's a real
tough looking guy. Right.
Then we had
Jessica King who
wanted the simple life but got mixed up with avelling hitman with a name on the list.
She had to prove herself not responsible quickly.
Then you had Gustav in medieval Europe, the last of a group of anonymous men performing sanctioned beheadings.
Sanctioned beheadings.
He played the loot.
Then we had Don Waddle, aka the travelling executioner, who's predicted to go number one in the upcoming NFL draft.
Wow.
Okay.
Stacey Keech keeps speaking to me because I love him.
But I think the first one is the one that sounds like a movie to me.
But I don't know.
I'm really thrown.
Sorry, everyone's seeing me have a breakdown because my knowledge has truly been tested.
And I feel like I need to get it right.
I'm just all over the place.
Say that you know, Lex, but your reputation is very much on the line here.
It honestly feels like my reputation is on the line.
I feel sick to my stomach right now.
If you don't get this right, you'll have to pivot and become a full-time foodie.
Cinema will be close to you.
As soon as I get this wrong, I'm going gonna turn around and gobble the cake in one go um i'm gonna go option one
oh gosh well the name stacy keach is talking to me as well but i've never heard it before i just
love it um stacy keach he's a wonderful actor he played played in the Australian film Road Games. Okay. Thank you so much.
Is he from Fat City?
He's from Fat City.
Fat City.
You should do that another week on the show.
It's such a great name.
Okay.
Fat City.
No.
That's not to do with anything.
The stoic lute player.
Yes.
That was speaking to me.
Okay.
Can I hear it one more time in
medieval Europe Gustav is the last of
the executioners a group of anonymous
men that perform sanctioned beheadings
he finds light in his dark existence by
playing the loot and enchanting maidens
as he stoically travels across countries
lopping off heads at the king's behest
oh boy are you traveling to other
countries to lock people's heads off at the king's behest
Aye yoy yoy
Okay that one's got me
I think maybe Lexi and I are both
Picking movies that we'd want to see
That's the one I'd want to see the most
Alright lock that in
Yes please
Alright let's go through who wrote the answers
Don Waddle
That was the house.
I love it.
Wow.
Respect to you, sir.
I liked the name Don Waddle very much.
Did you invent Don Waddle?
I invented Don Waddle.
What inspired Don Waddle?
I don't know.
It just came to me.
It was like one of those moments of divine intervention.
Absolutely.
Wow.
The Lord was speaking to you on that day.
Your magnum opus is Don Waddle.
Don Waddle.
To you on that day Your magnum opus
Is Don Waddle
Don Waddle
My other one
Was the Jessica King
Trying to clear a name
With the
Time travelling hitman
Shit
Yeah yeah
I think
Time travel
Is not that often
Used in movies
So whenever I
Use time travel
I go
Well probably not that
Yeah yeah
And it probably
Would have been called
The time travelling
Executioner
Fuck
I'd watch that It's going to be Stacey Keach
I'm sure of it now
Then we had in medieval Europe
Gustav is last of the executioners
This one Dave went for and that was
Alexei
You wrote the movie I want to watch
Yeah
That means Alexei
Fuck no no no
You were either right or Stacey Keach was right
You went for an emotionless man who travelled around the United States letting workers go
That was written by Dave Warnicke
The correct answer is Stacey Keach
Damn you, Stacey Keach
Wow, wow, wow
While I calculate the scores
God, Dave, you made the movie, I'm like, oh god, 1970s I'm already like, when can I buy the Blu Dave You made the movie I'm like oh god 1970s
I'm already like
When can I buy the
Blu-ray of this one
I was when
I read it too
I'm like that is good stuff
Yeah when
The Long Lost Order
I was like
I've got something there
And it's not that far
Off the little twist
In the
Stacey
Keach movie
Which is he goes around
Killing people
Yours goes around
Yeah
And he goes around
Killing people
Until a woman seduces him
Who he's meant to kill
It's not quite the same as The Dawn
But a similar idea
That sort of challenge to
I can kill it
I can do it
Anonymous people
I can kill off anyone
And then you know someone
Oh but I care about this person
Yeah that's right
God
It's got two of the best named men
Of the 1970s cinema
Stacey Keech and Bud Cort
Oh yeah Bud Cort's so good
The only person i recognized was
about fifth build wow i can't recognize any of the actors well i know bud court quite well and
our m emmett walsh that's who you were thinking of yeah i know emmett walsh wonderful john bottoms
great actors a lot of ugly men in this film one of my favorite types of genres films with lots of
ugly character actors are you familiar with
Jack Smart's work he's the
Director I think he might be
Not off the top of my head Jack Smart
What have they done oh I've seen one of
His films No Way to Treat a Lady I've seen
That recently it's a great little
Weird comedy thriller starring
Rod Steiger and George Segal
Very strange movie so this one
Tony Mastreoni, a critic, says,
in the end, the picture simply collapses from the weight of its own excesses.
He didn't love it.
But it hasn't been, there's not a lot of reviews out there for it.
Not enough for the Rotten Tomatoes to give it a splat or not.
So maybe, Alexei, any chance you could watch it before you come on next?
I think I will.
Let's see.
Well, you know.
I mean, it's got your man in there.
I thought you would have seen anything.
Keech.
I love.
I wonder how Cameron came across this movie.
It's funny.
I realized afterwards that I sort of gave it away.
I said, oh, I hadn't.
Me and Dave both said we hadn't heard of Stacey Keech.
And that's, I know.
That's what made me think I was going for her
and we wrote the other three options apart from
yours and the real one so I almost
went for it then but I was just like oh maybe
he just copied and pasted it from somewhere
and I didn't even think about it
yeah that's what I thought like he's um
Cam Stoddy won you've done another
and gone oh whatever I'll just put that name in
yeah yeah alright so
the scores are in third place on the podium four points, it's Dave Warnicke.
Congratulations, Dave.
Just happy to be here, but on the podium.
So, thank you so much.
So great.
You got anything coming up people should find, apart from, obviously, your podcast, Do Go
On and Book Cheat?
Oh, just check out Do Go On and Book Cheat and just know I love you all.
If you like trivia type stuff and you haven't heard it before, Dave and I do a podcast called
Do Go On and it's about a different topic every week.
Sort of a deep dive into a certain topic from history.
And we might pick Stacey Keech.
Wow.
Because I'm intrigued.
Good Lord.
Wow.
I'd love to be a guest on the Stacey Keech episode.
Definitely get you one.
Surely be the most downloaded in history.
Alexi's been on a few episodes.

Well done.
Congratulations.
I'm basking in the applause.
And your prize is a cake made of grapefruit and olive oil.
Wow.
There's a few other ingredients to fill out the rest of that.
Sounds very sloppy.
Yeah.
It's more like a fried juice rather, I guess.
Do you want to point people in any particular direction
in life or towards your work?
Yes, in life.
Please steer away from the conservative side of politics
and into the viewings of Finding Jesus on YouTube.
It's me.
It's Cameron James.
We investigate mysteries.
We solve one of the internet's greatest unsolved mysteries
with the help of the Auntie Donna crew.
It's on Grouse House on YouTube, Finding Yeezus.
And then I'll do some more podcast stuff down the line.
But stay tuned.
My podcast feed's Total Reboot.
There'll be some stuff in there pretty soon.
But I've got some more exciting things coming up later.
That's very exciting.
Grouse House, did you have anything to do with their new show
that was filmed here at the Shoebit Old?
It's got like the most annoying game show ever or something?
No, I had nothing to do with it, but I have watched it.
It's very funny.
Yeah, so good.
It's really stressful.
Yeah, I feel like you'd be a great guest on it.
I would have an anxiety attack doing it I think
I would have break down completely
It's really funny and crazy
Anything else you two want to tell people before we go
Once again please steer away
From conservative politics
Do not fall for the traps
Online trying to
Ensnare young men through bitterness
Into turning against their fellow
People on earth
Matt likes to have a balanced podcast so I'll have to step in here and say, actually,
conservative, it's the right way.
Yeah, get ensnared.
Exactly.
Whoa, okay, now that's unbalanced because you've got two versus one.
Okay, but I also should say don't get ensnared.
Okay.
All right, well, don't listen to this guy just because he's the host.
Thanks so much, everyone, for listening.
Please give us a five-star review and tell your friends if you think you know anyone
who might enjoy it.

It does not respect your authority, Alexei.
You know, he has been showing some signs of life recently.
And in that life, complete and utter insolence.
Okay, I'm going to go check the cake.
This is very exciting for us.
So, Lexi's taking his headphones off.
He can't hear us, but we are going to watch him on a webcam.
He's getting the full mitts.
Is he getting the other mitts out?
Oh, yeah, he's putting on the mitts.
Got one of those one pieces that hold each hand.
He's got the cake out.
It is so clever to use the mitts.

As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors.
Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause,
causing the risk of heart disease to go up.
Know your risks.
