I'm the titular Matt Stewart. Now, first guest is about to head over to do her show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It's Grace Jarvis. Hello.
Starting point is 00:00:54 And what's the name of your show, Grace? It's called This Is The Last Goldfish That I'm Going To Eat For You. A beautiful title. It's about all the stuff I did to try and make friends before I realised I had autism. And it's, I mean, it's done great things in Australia. Yeah. And now you're taking it to the globe. I'm taking it global.
Starting point is 00:01:11 So good. Our second guest this week is a first timer on the show, host of Triple R's Breakfasters. It's Nat the Dragon Harris. Woohoo! Howdy ho! You don't go by the dragon anymore, but I still like to. I use it in competitive sports. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:26 So I'm playing in the community cup this weekend and people on the field call me dragon. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. It's a very competitive sport type name. Yeah. That's crazy. I've never known someone to like get a nickname going so successfully.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Yeah. I put some hard yards in for a good year, but I did start it myself. Yeah. It was a marketing. Usually a nickname you start yourself does not catch on. Yeah. I put some hard yards in for a good year, but I did start it myself. Yeah. It was a marketing. Usually a nickname you start yourself does not catch on. Yeah, I know. I had some like early adopters who I think were really key in getting the messaging out there, but just it can be done.
Starting point is 00:01:57 It's bad. I can't get it out of my head. Yeah. I have to try every time I go to say a name, I have to stop and say Nat. And I feel like every time we talk on mic, I feel like we only talk on mic. Yeah. If there's a mic.
Starting point is 00:02:07 If I can, well, why talk if you can't record it? Exactly. If there's not mics involved, I'm like, yeah. What's friendship for if not for content? That's right. Hey, I should bring in our third guest this week who has written for Hard Quiz, The Weekly, and Aaron Chen tonight.
Starting point is 00:02:21 It's Maggie Luke. Hello. Is that close to the mic? Is that all right? Maggie, this is off mic chat, okay? You don't have to bring that on mic. I'm actually, I always thought it was the breakfasteers. It's the breakfasters.
Starting point is 00:02:35 It's the breakfasters. The breakfasteers. Like musketeers. Yeah, I don't know. That's the way my brain read it for like the past 15 years. Oh, wow. Well, here you go. Big day. I'm so sorry. That's the way my brain read it for like the past 15 years. Oh, wow. Well, here you go. Big day.
Starting point is 00:02:45 I'm so sorry. Please. Please, please, please. I know. It's something we haven't even started. It's great. I think that's something maybe you could bring onto the show. I'll start it tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I'll raise it on air. A soft launch. Breakfast tears. Breakfast tears. Breakfast tears. I like that. A little toast for ears. Are we thinking a rival show potentially?
Starting point is 00:03:04 Oh, yeah. Okay. A little toast for ears. Are we thinking a rival show potentially? Oh, yeah. Okay. Spell it exactly the same. We could start it right now. Yeah. This could be it. This is it. That's off mic chat.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Okay, sorry. So the way the show works is I ask a relatively obscure trivia question. 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. Yes. So here's the first question.
Starting point is 00:03:27 It comes from listener Bracken Markins from Charlotte in North Carolina. And Bracken's question is, what does the slang term sauce box mean? Oh, okay. What does the slang term sauce box mean? Okay. 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 and another point if you correctly guessed the answer.
Starting point is 00:03:51 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. So each of us can score up to three points per round, which seems fair, but the probability actually favors me. The house. And the house always wins. So if you've listened listened to previous episodes you'll know that is rarely the case anyway most of our questions come from our great patreon supporters and if you want to submit
Starting point is 00:04:12 a question sign up on any level via patreon.com slash do go on pod linked in the show notes all right oh i wanted to add something to mine oh please do it's not even good it's not even worth just expanding. That was a long type as well. I'm not great on that. I'm much more confident with a pen. I got my pen licence and I like to use it. All right, the answer in here is question number one.
Starting point is 00:04:42 What does the word sauce box mean? The section of a fridge where the ketchup goes? A truck stop? A Victorian era slang term for a cheeky or raucous individual? A defensive football term where you trip up a player in the goal square and they get mud all over their face? North Carolina slang for someone who visibly sweats through their clothes? Or vagina?
Starting point is 00:05:04 Some great options there, aren't there? Great response too. Yeah. What? How you all mmmed in unison. We did. I thought it was funny you saying the word vagina. Yeah, I didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I knew you didn't. That's why I wrote it. Yeah. Someone's put that in my mouth. Oh, wow. For the first time ever. Anything sticking out to any of you? I'm definitely leaning towards the sweating.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Sweating? Yeah. All right. Can I hear it again, please? Yep. North Carolina saying for someone who visibly sweats through their clothes. And it is a source. A source box.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Yeah, definitely. As a sweater, I just kind of. Think of yourself as a bit of a sauce box. Yep. Lock it in for me. Sauce box. What do you reckon, Grace? I think the football mud.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Football mud. Zone. Was that it? Your goal square. Yeah. Okay. The mud zone. The sauce box, the mud zone.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And Maggie? I reckon the first one. Section of the fridge where the ketchup goes. Ooh. Why not? All right, look at this. I'm surprised no one went for the Victorian one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Can you pick two? No, you can only pick one. I don't know why. I guess I thought. I don't picture there being sauce in the Victorian times. Yeah. A free sauce era. I'm with you. Yeah. A pre-sauce era. I'm with you, I'm with you, I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:06:28 It was tough back then. It's not very saucy. They had to have plain pasta. Potentially, you know, the upper crust. Okay, yeah, that's true. They were hoarding all the sauce. Maybe it's like a safe that they keep the sauce in to prevent your peasants from getting in on it.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Do you want to change your answer or do you want to? No, I from getting in on it. Do you want to change your answer or do you want to? No, I definitely want to stick with. Stick with. Sweat box. Sweat box. Sauce box, sweat box. All right, let's go through who wrote the answers. A truck stop.
Starting point is 00:06:56 That was Maggie Luke. Hey, it's good. Convincing. Vagina. That was Grace. Someone had to. Then we had North Carolina slang for someone who visibly sweats through their clothes.
Starting point is 00:07:08 That was bracken, a.k.a. the house. Hey, good job, bracken. Defensive football term where you trip a player in the goal square, get mud all over their face. That was Nat, so point to Nat there. That's why it took so long for me to write it. Shattered that mud line in. Yeah, all over the face.
Starting point is 00:07:24 It was like, I don't know about the face. I went too far. I went too far. Well, no, it seems like you went just fine. I got grace. I heard the mud part. I was like, sure. Americans are weird. Maybe mud is sauce. I don't know. What about that I put soccer in brackets? I felt like that was a convincing touch, but you didn't. I did. No, sorry. I should have. I wrote football and then soccer in brackets. So I was really out to deceive.
Starting point is 00:07:51 The section of the fridge where the ketchup goes, which Maggie went for, that was also bracken. Oh, I have to admit I forgot the options. So you went first one. You can always ask for them again if you need. No, no, no. First one. Just look in the first one. You can always ask for them again if you need maybe. No, no, no. First one. Just look in the first one.
Starting point is 00:08:08 It's like that panic in high school. You just go A. Yeah. ACDC, ACDC. Yeah. That means the correct answer was a Victorian era slang term for cheeky or raucous individuals. Sauce box.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah, now that I'm thinking about it, yeah. You were convincing with your reasoning to not go for it. I did not remember that that was even what the answer was, but I guess saucy does mean like lewd. All right. That means the scores after one round is the house on two points, Nat on one point, Grace and Maggie yet to score. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:41 But there's still six questions to go. All right. It's truly anyone's game. Let's do this. Here's question number two. This one comes from Alfie hanks from north london hey alfie hanks from north london if you're looking for someone to do coming up go to the enbre fringe vessel see grace's show alfie's question is ongoing plug alfie's question is in the movie solo a star wars story any of you star wars fans No. I don't think even a Star Wars nerd probably would know
Starting point is 00:09:06 this. Han Solo and Landau Carissian are seen playing cards at a table of aliens. What is the name of the alien sitting to Lando's left? So you basically just got to come up with an alien Star Wars name. Okay. While you're writing your answers, here's some more info on Sourcebox. Bracken writes, the first recorded use of Saucebox as an insult dates back to 1775 when H. Carey wrote in Honest Yorkshire Man, Saucebox, the worst is too good for you, which is pretty rough there. That is rough.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Like, why the worst? Like, murder. Yeah. Is too good for a person who's just a bit loud at a party. And not even murder. Like, a really bad murder. Is too good for a person who's just a bit loud at a party. And not even murdered, like a really bad murder. Yeah, like a hum drawn and quartered for this person who's just a little bit raucous. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:54 The online etymology dictionary seems to date it to the 1580s, even older, defining it as one addicted to making saucy remarks. I'm addicted. I like addicted. I'm addicted. I cany remarks. Addicted. I'm addicted. I'm addicted. I can't stop. I need another hit. And he's like a saucy remark.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Like, I feel like there's a lot of tone that makes something saucy. Ooh, didn't you? I'm just thinking of like Austin Powers now. Addicted. I feel like that's most comedians. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Can't stop.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Addicted to saucy remarks. As an aside, while I was reading about this, sass and sassy are words that evolved from the word saucy, which makes sense, I guess. Yeah, that checks out. According to vocabulary.com, the word sass emerged in the 19th century from the adjective sassy, which began as a variation on saucy,
Starting point is 00:10:39 from the idea that words can be zesty, sharp, or spicy. Yeah, wow. It's like flavour profile for a personality. This sounds like a shapes, banana shapes biscuit. Sounds delicious. Yeah. All right, question two is in. In the movie Solo A Star Wars Story, who's the alien sitting at the table?
Starting point is 00:10:58 Burke McGurk, Crispy Weewa, Grandad Plonk, Thurm Scissor Punch, Fert Larkin Pogs or Splat Plapkin. Oh, I went first last time. So there's some great names in there. I like all of it. It's very satisfying on the tongue. Yeah, it felt great to say. Splat Plapkin.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Splat Plapkin, yeah. The Plonk one? Yes, Grandad Plonk. Grandad Plonk. Okay, that feels... It's your wino, Grandad Plonk. Grandad Plonk. Okay. That feels. It's your wino. Yeah, it is. Definitely feels like a grandad wino kind of alien. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yeah. It took me a while to get to grandad there. My mind works in mysterious ways. Burke McGurk, Crispy Where You Are, Grandad Plonk. Burke McGurk. Therm Scissor Punch, Fertlarkin Pogs and Slap Plapkin. Oh, I like Scissor Punch. I feel like I think of a scissor kick, but then there's a punch in,
Starting point is 00:11:51 it's surprising. Yeah, I guess it's like a. Scissor Punch. Yeah, I feel like that alien would have sass. Are you writing that down now? No, I'm not. Because it feels like you're like, I'm going to use that later. Yeah, I will.
Starting point is 00:12:02 The second you get any passion, you pick up a pen. Pick up the pen. I feel more comfortable with the pen. She's a pure writer. I am. Please. I'm a poet. We need an inkwell for this.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Nat's feather. I'm a wordsmith. No, so I feel like I bowled in the last one, so who wants to go first? I'm going to go with Splat McCat. Splat. I don't think that was one. Oh, you're adding a new option in. Splat McCat. Splat. I don't think that was one. Oh, you're adding a new option in. Splat McCat.
Starting point is 00:12:27 What was the last one? Splat Plapkin. Splat Plapkin. Okay, I'll go with that in for Grace. I love him. What was the one after the daddy or the grandpa? Therm Scissor Punch. Yeah, I'll go with that one.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Okay. What's left? Well, you can double up. Can I? Yeah, yeah. No, I think there is another one in there I like. Fert Lank and Pogs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Grandad Plonk. Crispy Weewa. Burke McGurk. I want Crispy Weewa. Crispy Weewa for Nat. It's like a donut or something. All right. Let's go through who wrote the answers.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Burke McGurk. That was the house. I grew up when I was living in the country as a kid. There was a family called the McGurks, and I've always just thought it was the best surname. That is the best surname. That's a great. It's such a great surname.
Starting point is 00:13:15 McGurk. McGurk. It sounds like a family dynasty on chicken rice. And also Burke was like a slang for a person who was a bit of trouble. The Burkes down the road, they used to say. So Burke McGurk just. How long have you been sitting on that? That just came to me yesterday.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Burke McGurk, like if you told me that was a character from a Tim Winton novel, I'd be like, yeah, check it out. That's a good question for a future episode if anyone listening wants to put a Tim Winton character question in. Bit of wince in there. And is he a bully? Oh, I think Burke McGurk might be trouble. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Furt Lankan Pogs. That was Nat Harris. Oh. No one went for it. I mean, it was very believable. Grandad Plonk, equally believable by Grace. I like the idea of an old alien. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:05 And they use, like, modern English words in names on Star Wars a bit. I bet half of them are called like Jeffrey, you know. Yeah, that's right. We've tried too hard. Crispy Weewa, which Nat went for. That was Maggie Luke. It's nice. I'm trying to weave the word crispy into every time I'm on this podcast.
Starting point is 00:14:25 I got one with crispy last time. I feel like it's like a thing that you feel comfortable saying yesterday. And the wee-wah, it's nice at the end. It's fun. A splat plapkin, which Grace went for. That was Alfie, aka The House. Curses. Meaning Maggie was correct.
Starting point is 00:14:39 It was therm scissor punch. What a great word. Yeah. Therm scissor punch. That's tricked us great word. Yeah. Therm Scissor Punch. That's tricked us because it does sound like the parody of a Star Wars character. I think the description said he was in a bar, didn't he? Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:53 And I thought tough guy, bar, punch. Scissor Punch. Scissor Punch. Yeah, playing cards. Yeah. Apparently he's a pretty tough guy. Yeah. He looks like a lobster.
Starting point is 00:15:02 He's getting his own spin-off any day now. Yeah, yeah. Only a matter of time. And any parents to be out there, that's a pretty tough guy. Yeah. He looks like a lobster. He's getting his own spin-off any day now. Yeah, yeah. Only a matter of time. And any parents to be out there, that's a great name. I'd write that one down. What are you going for? Therms, scissor punch.
Starting point is 00:15:16 First by first name. We are removing this child from your care. It's not been born yet, but you're not fit. You have to stand in one room and your stomach in another. Yeah, yeah. You're done. You're cut off. All right, here's question number three. This one comes from Emily Keane from Melbourne but living in L.A.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And Emily's question is, what was Pepsi originally called before being renamed Pepsi Cola in 1898? Oh. What was Pepsi originally called? While you're writing of your heads, I'll let the audience know a bit more about Thurm Scissor Punch. Got into StarWars.com with a sharpened shank implanted in one claw and an overall fearsome appearance.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Thurm is reputed for intimidating his opponents during games of Sabacc, which is a card game. In reality, he's a mediocre card player who insists on being addressed by his full name. Well, you would too if your name was Scissor Punch. You're not just going around like, firm. I'll wait. Yeah, get it all out. Although it's unclear if it's a nickname he's been given or part of a prestige he's hoping to create around himself. A little bit like Dragon. Yeah, I can really relate to this guy.
Starting point is 00:16:25 What do you mean unclear? He's a to create around himself a little bit like Dragon. Yeah, I can really relate to this guy. What do you mean unclear? He's a fictional character. Someone just decide. This is the Star Wars website. You know. This is the issue I have with fantasy because someone just decides and then everyone has, they take that decision and they analyse it and think of the problems.
Starting point is 00:16:40 No, no, someone's just decided that. It's done. They can decide it not to happen as well. Stop overthinking about it, Star Wars people. Just decide on it at the start. Uh-oh, they're all going to come for you, Matt. Also, you called it fantasy. They're going to jump down your throats.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Oh, wait, because it's not fantasy. It's science fiction. Oh, it's science fiction. Oh, Maggie, what have you done? Lock your door, Mike. Go private on Twitter. You're lost. I'm done.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Alfie, the question writer, also said, Therm Scissor Punch is a shrimp man, which is cool. Oh, yeah, well. Like he fishes for shrimp? I'll show you a third of him. Oh, no, he is a shrimp. Yeah, he's like a shrimp man. Oh.
Starting point is 00:17:23 That's the worst kind of alien. All of them are sort of just like an animal, an existing animal made bigger, aren't they? I understand like a lobster man. Oh, wow. Oh, okay. Am I saying correctly they're like. I think I've worked for him.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I wonder how he plays cards with those scissor hands. That's a good point. Isn't it a good point? I just love how much he gave so much credit he gave me for that. Thank you. I couldn't have given it enough credit. I think that's a really good point, Nat. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I'm going to look that up later. Yeah, there'll be a blog on it. Yeah. I mean, like, here I go. I was complaining about this very thing and now we're talking about it. And I'm pretty sure shrimps have poor eyesight as well. Oh, my God. He's got it stacked against him for a game of 500 or whatever.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Pretty good at poker face probably. Those beady eyes. Can't read them. Shrimp eyes. All right. Here's question three. What was Pepsi originally called before being renamed Pepsi Cola in 1898? Unadulterated pepsin soda.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Mark's medicinal syrup. Pepe Cimarelli and Sons cure-all digestive tonic. Brad's drink. Afternoon bubbles. Or whiz pop slurp. Last one's silly, isn't it? I feel like they're all a bit silly. I feel like there's definitely, there's two in there. Like you could rule out three based
Starting point is 00:18:47 on silliness and the medicinal sounding ones is what I would definitely lean towards. Okay. So I'll take the medicine sounding one. Mark's medicinal syrup. If that's okay. Yeah, I think that's fine by me. I'd love to lock that in. I think you're right because i think all old-timey drinks they were just allowed to market as medicine they're like this is good for you and it's like heroin in a bottle you're like oh i guess i can't believe we have to go through the common cold without opium. It's crazy. Yeah. We're supposed to be in the new world, you know.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Going backwards. Where's Grace? She's in an opium den. I've got a stuffy nose. I should be allowed to do hard drugs. I think Pepe's digestive tonic. Yeah, Pepe Cimarelli's? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:42 I mean, I'd buy that for sure. Pepe and Cimarelli and Sons do great work in the liquid market. Look, I think Afternoon Bubbles has something to it because I see like a lot of people with like petticoats and that kind of shit. Can you read it? A parasol. Yeah. Unadulterated pepsin soda, Mark's medicinal syrup,
Starting point is 00:20:04 Pepe Cimarelli and Sons Cure All Digestive Tonic, Brad's Drink, Afternoon Bubbles or Whiz Pop Slurp. I'll go first. First one? Yeah. I just wonder who Mark is. That could be a real red herring or the answer there. I feel like I've walked into a big old trap set by Mark.
Starting point is 00:20:24 By Mark. Mark himself. Mark. Somehow. Mark's not really like an old time set by Mark. By Mark. Mark himself. Mark. Somehow. Mark's not really like an old-timey name either. No. It's like a Jason or something. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:20:32 Yeah, the two names. I mean, we've got three names in here. Mark, Pepe Cimarelli and Brad. I think Mark is as old as time. I like Brad. I think there's always been a Mark. Has there? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Yeah, isn't it like a Bible one? It's a short name or something. Yeah, it is a Bible one. Mark was at the. Has there? I don't know. Yeah, isn't it like a Bible one? It's a short for Matthew or something. Yeah, it is a Bible one. Mark was at the Last Supper, I'm pretty sure. He was in my primary school as well. Where is he? If he wasn't at the Last Supper, he was peering in the window writing about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:57 That's classic Mark. He's the very first journalist. I used to be called Peeping Mark, but they changed it. Yeah, yeah, they changed it. All right, let's go through. We wrote the answers. Whiz Pop Slurp, which is such a futuristic name. That was Nat.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Yeah. I love it. Yeah, almost got you. No one was going near it. Tricky gal. Whiz Pop Bang. Unadulterated Pepsin Soda, which Maggie went for. That was Emily, aka The House.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Who is this house? And where is it? Mischievous. Lurking in the shadows of your mind. Mark's medicinal syrup, which Nat went for. That was Grace. Oh, Grace. That's why you were pushing the Mark.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Yeah. Well done. Did you have a Mark in mind when you wrote that one? No. I was just thinking of a generic white man. Yeah. That's Mark. Did you have a Mark in mind when you wrote that one? No, I was just thinking of a generic white man. Yeah, that's Mark. Yeah. I drank it right up.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Snake oil salesman type. I was thinking the same when I came up with Pepe Cimarelli and such. Oh, no. Just a generic white man name. And Emily had the digestive tonic. That was a combination effort. Me and Emily came together to fool you, Grace. It did fool me because, yeah, I'm prejudiced into the old times.
Starting point is 00:22:11 They made everything a digestive syrup. Yep. And you played right into that. Yeah. I think you might be surprised by the real answer because it does not fit in with that at all. Afternoon bubbles, that was Maggie Luke. The correct answer is Brad's drink.
Starting point is 00:22:24 What? Isn't that incredible? Okay, so I wasn't far off with Mark's discussion at all. You weren't. 1898. Brad's Drink. It was Brad's Drink in 1893 till 1898 and then it changed to Pepsi Cola. That's the best.
Starting point is 00:22:40 That's just like a guy not even trying that hard to sell it. He's like, this is my drink, man. If you want some, you can have some. Go into a bar and go, is that mine? No, that's Brad. That's Brad's drink. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:22:52 And it's stuck. So Brad created Pepsi? Yeah, or a guy called. Okay, Brad. His name was Caleb Bradham. Oh, Caleb Bradham. It could have been Caleb's drink. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:23:04 He sounds like an American football, like, teen heartthrob. Yeah, I bet he was. In the 90s, not in the 1800s. He was in the 80s and 90s. Yeah, yeah. Wowee. Wowee. Learning a lot.
Starting point is 00:23:16 So, that means the house got two points that round, and Grace is on the board as well. Yes. Okay. So, quick score update. Grace is on one point. Nat's on one point. Maggie on two points.
Starting point is 00:23:27 But out front is the house on five points. Oh. Is it really I'm winning in reverse? Yeah, yeah. Well, you're coming second either way, I think. You said I was zero points. No, you're two points. Oh, am I?
Starting point is 00:23:40 Yeah. Oh, okay. Sorry. You're winning. You're winning. You're winning out of us. I'm also listening, aren't I? Geez, your self-esteem is bad. You're winning. You're winning. You're winning out of us. I'm also listening, aren't I? Yeah. Jeez, your self-esteem is bad.
Starting point is 00:23:46 You're hearing two is zero. You're hearing good job is I'm worthless. Yeah. All right. We're up to question number four. Hitting the halfway mark here. This one is by Logan Husky from Brisbane. One of the great names.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Now I'm tricked. I'm like, now every name is a fake name. Logan Husky. What are you talking about? That's a, that's a pseudonym for sure. Yeah. It's gotta be. We don't believe you, Logan. Yeah. Unless it is your name, in which case I respect you deeply. I'm so sorry. Beautiful name. Well done. Beautiful name. Congratulations to your parents.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Yeah. Logan's question is, in 1998, why did hordes of Americans walk out of the Brad Pitt film Meet Joe Black? In 1998, why did hordes of Americans walk out of the Brad Pitt film Meet Joe Black? While you're writing your answers, here's a little bit more info about Brad's drink. According to a North Carolina government website, so you know you can trust it. Beginning in 1893, newborn pharmacist Calebadham developed and began serving a carbonated drink he called brad's drink he served the beverage from the soda fountain in his pharmacy different time you go to a pharmacy and there's soda fountains as a pharmacist who had undergone
Starting point is 00:24:55 some medical training bradham believed in the health energy and digestive benefits of this sweet and bubbly brew which originally included the enzyme pepsin and the cola nut. It is likely that these ingredients resulted in the renaming of the drink, although at some point pepsin was removed from the formula. After the renaming, Bradham managed to purchase the trade name Pep Cola from a New Jersey company, and in 1902, he incorporated the Pepsi Cola company under North Carolina law. Shortly thereafter, he registered a patent for the formula. I thought I'd finish with a fun fact about registering for a patent there. Hey, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. All right, the answers are in. So here's question number four. In 1998, why did hordes of Americans
Starting point is 00:25:40 walk out of the Brad Pitt film Meet Joe Black. They only attended to see another film's trailer and left the theatre after it played. It was the first depiction of the devil naked on film. Due to an early internet hoax, many left disappointed after expecting to see a weird horror movie about cannibalism. The air conditioning broke and it was 130 degrees Fahrenheit. They thought it was a meet and greet with a star NFL running back named Joe Black or they were on Team Jen.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Oh, it was 1998. So when did that? It's pre. Okay. I'm sorry. I was born in 1998. I don't know anything. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:18 We get it. You're young. You're beautiful skin. So when did the Jen v. Brad team form? That would have been like 2003, I think. I'm team Jen still, to be honest. Yeah, me too. Yeah, she's great.
Starting point is 00:26:34 I'm team both of them because didn't he hit them? Oh, I thought one team was Brad and one was Jen. No, it was like Angelina or Jen, right? Oh, okay. I wasn't born. I was born, but? Oh, okay. I wasn't born. No, I was born, but I don't know. You were definitely born. Don't stop pulling that card.
Starting point is 00:26:50 So I haven't got your answer, I think. No, okay. So why did hordes of Americans walk out of the Brad Pitt film Meet Joe Black? They only intended to see another film's trailer left the theatre after it played. It was the first depiction of a devil naked on film. An internet hoax meant many left disappointed, thinking they were going to see a horror movie about cannibalism air conditioning broke and it was 130 degrees fahrenheit they thought there was a meet and greet with nfl player joe black or they were team jen that's what got us off track
Starting point is 00:27:18 the team jen yeah i just immediately admitted to not getting it right at all or is this all part of your game? Oh, God. So I don't have that much more answers. I like the air conditioning breaking thing. I once did a comedy show in Adelaide in, like, the basement of a, I don't know, weird Freemasons Hall, and it was, like, 45 degrees. And everyone was like, we're enjoying this but we have to go. Like genuinely the audience were like, we have to leave this room
Starting point is 00:27:50 and I was like, fair enough, let's all go outside actually. We're all going to die in here. And that's 113 Fahrenheit. So this is 130. Fuck, yeah, I'm going with that. So what's, 130 is nearly 55 degrees. Shit. Yeah, you got to walk out of there.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah, I think that's fair enough. And the devil naked, I feel like I missed that scene. I haven't seen this film, so I don't know. But who's the devil? Because Brad Pitt's the devil, isn't he? He is the devil, yeah. I can picture him naked. Yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:28:18 But it might not be from this film. I know what I'm going home to watch. I'm going to go with that one. I feel like the devil naked would really happen. I'm going to go with that one. I feel like. Locking that in for Nat. The devil naked would really. I can picture Brad Pitt naked. Yeah, I think a lot of women for a lot of time have been doing that. And Maggie?
Starting point is 00:28:36 I'm going NFL player. NFL player. No worries. All right, let's go through who wrote the answers. They were on Team Jen. This might surprise you. That was great. Hey, no way.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I tried. Sometimes you swing at a pop culture reference you don't really understand and you miss. And you back it up for seven minutes at the same time. I immediately bailed on it. I did not back it up. I was like, no, you're right. I'm wrong. Then the internet hoax that made a lot of people think
Starting point is 00:29:04 it was a weird horror, that was Logan. Logan Husky, aka The House. It's a good one, though, because it was kind of that period that you could do an internet like that. Yes. Yeah, people didn't understand. As he wrote it, he spelled it meat with EA as well,
Starting point is 00:29:18 but that didn't really come out on the vocal. Vocal, yeah. It does now. It does now. Maybe I should have said it out loud before and you would have all got it. They thought they had a meet and greet with a star running back named Joe Black. That was the house. Oh.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Point to the house there. It was the first depiction of the devil naked on film, which Nat went for. That was Maggie Luke. Yay. That's good. Well, I don't think he is naked in the film. I feel like I would have remembered it. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:29:48 I was like, she's not going to go for it. Yeah, no. I like that. Sometimes people go. I was optimistic. I don't think that's right, so I'm going to go with it. The air conditioning broke, which Grace went for. That was Nat the Dragon Harris.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Fahrenheit. I took a stab. You did? 55 degrees. Oh, that's a stab. You did? 55 degrees. Oh, that's right on the edge of them dying. Kind of understanding. Meaning the correct answer was they only attended to see another film's trailer and left the theatre after it played. What was the trailer?
Starting point is 00:30:19 The prequel to Star Wars. Oh. All the Star Wars fellas were heading in, paying for full price for a film. Just stay at that point. Yeah. Just watch the, you know, you might like it. It's like they're making a point of it.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Like, you know, I'm actually, I'm not here to see a Brad Pitt film. I'm just here to see the Star Wars. How do you find out a trailer is going to be showing before a certain film? Where do you get that information? I think it seems so funny because now you just watch the trailer online as many times as you like. But I guess there must have been, you know. YouTube has really ruined the trailer watching money that the cinemas were getting.
Starting point is 00:30:54 They talk about Hollywood numbers have gone down. Maybe that's why. No one has to go to watch trailers anymore. I do enjoy, I still enjoy watching the trailers in the cinema. Oh, the trailers are the best. Yeah. Yeah, I'm a big fan as well. I quite like, I still enjoy watching the trailers in the cinema. Oh, the trailers are the best. Yeah. Yeah, I'm a big fan as well. I quite like it.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Sometimes even the ads can be all right. I'm always stoked when I get there in time to see any of that. A fun package of like, turn off your phone gets me. If I'm not there on the Wikipedia page for the website reading the synopsis to catch up on what I've missed as I'm 10 minutes late, then I'm stoked. Yeah, yeah. But if I get there for the previews, oh, what a thrill. The stove's still on. Something's gone terribly wrong.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Yeah. So that means there's a point for Maggie, a point for the house, and a point for Nat. Hey, watch your hour. What's the score? On one point, Grace Jarvis. On two point, Nat the Dragon Harris. On three points, Maggie Luke.
Starting point is 00:31:44 But out in front, it's the house on six points. Okay. Three rounds to go. It's still anyone's game. Yeah, anyone's game. Here's question number five. This one actually comes from previous guest Andy Matthews from here at Stupid Dolls Studios and the Two and the Think Tank podcast.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Two and the Think Tank? No way. I know that. Two and the Think Tank. I could have edited that bit out if it wasn't for you. So, Annie. It's important to mock the host of any podcast that you do. We're related.
Starting point is 00:32:12 We can do that. So, Annie, message me this question during the week. What do you have to do to be awarded the golden spurtle? What do you have to do to be awarded the golden spurtle? What do you have to do to be awarded the Golden Spurtle? Okay. While you're writing your answers, here's some more info about the Meet Joe Black walkouts from Logan for Cinema Blend.
Starting point is 00:32:35 As was reported in the New York Times way back when, hordes of Star Wars fans, identified as mostly young men, were buying up movie tickets for titles like meet joe black the water boy and the siege simply so they could watch the star wars trailer after the two minutes of footage played many decided that they didn't actually want to stay for the film and left the theater in droves before the feature actually began because select theaters were replaying the phantom menace trailer after the end of the aforementioned screenings some movie theaters allowed star wars fans to re-enter the cinema with their stubs to get a second preview of the sci-fi epic just watch them just watch the brad pitt movie at the very least
Starting point is 00:33:15 it's a nice place to sit for a bit yeah sit in a nice darkened room you might like it off watch it yeah what do you do if you're to hang around the cinemas anyway. Yeah. I guess they could be. Eat some snacks. Like what? Maybe that's what they do. Make it a day.
Starting point is 00:33:30 They might be on the food court or something, I guess. Yeah, maybe. Two hour session. I'd just see the film. Yeah. I don't know. Is it any good? You paid for it.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Yeah. I think I gave up on it. I think I did about 25 minutes of. So maybe they were right. I said, I met him and i left you're actually actually not for me not for me this character yeah not compelling all right here's question number five what do you have to do to be awarded the golden spurtle win a cherry spitting competition in albany western australia demonstrate outstanding service or exceptional
Starting point is 00:34:01 achievement in the field of turtle and tortoise sports. Wow. By producing the best traditional porridge at the world porridge making championships. There was a world porridge championships recently. Really? Mm-hmm. How'd you go? Didn't compete, but a guy called Toby was in it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Or was the previous champion. Oh, this is a quirky news corner on Triple R News. Actually, no. Breakfast ears? You're right. It didn't make it. It's too long. Tomorrow it'll be straight. Do you mention Toby because of Uncle Toby's oats? Exactly. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Watch out. By steaming a dumpling perfectly, getting the highest score at the Kentucky Show Jumping Championships, or winning the annual Boston Nude Relay where the wooden baton is carried and passed on using the competitor's butt cheeks.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Ooh. Wow, a lot of detail. So I think like. So you think they're all fake? No, I think it's just the fake ones are great. I think people put in. I feel like people are putting in some real effort here and I appreciate the detail.
Starting point is 00:35:06 It's what I'm saying. Can I have a go first? Is that alright? Sure. I reckon that butt cheek one. Butt cheeks? Yeah, because I reckon that's something that'll make Andy Matthews giggle. Yeah, okay. Actually using the extra info there. I reckon porridge.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I'm looking in porridge. Porridge? Yeah. What are you thinking, Nat? Oh, God. I reckon porridge. I'm locking in porridge. Porridge? Yeah. What do you think, Annette? I, oh, God, I'm overwhelmed. So much to choose from. I definitely agree with you, Maggie. I definitely feel like the spurtle fits in. I feel like it's the baton. So that's where it fits in and then they put it in the bum.
Starting point is 00:35:40 It feels like, yeah, like a paddle word. The bum. Yeah. Lock it in. Do you mind, Maggie? No, please, let's share. I don't know. I don a paddle word. Up the bum. Yeah. Lock it in. Do you mind, Maggie? No, please, let's share. I don't know. I don't think it's up the bum.
Starting point is 00:35:47 I'm assuming between the cheeks. Between the cheeks. Then I change my answer. Then that's completely different. Up the bum would make it harder to run. I think I'd prefer to watch that. It's not up the bum. I don't want to know about it. No, I'm going to stop.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Can you edit that out? I don't want to. I've been a highlight so far of the show. Okay, let's lock that in. Nat the Dragon Harris. If it's up the bum, I don't want to know. If it's not up the bum, I don't want to know about it. It's going to haunt me, I feel like.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Alright, let's go through right the answers cherry spitting competition in albany that was maggie luke yeah that's great good detail i nearly went with that yeah spurt the spurt has like a spit of spit yeah that's what i thought demonstrating outstanding service or exceptional achievement in the field of turtle and tortoise sports oh that was the house. Well done. Really worked back there from Sports Turtle. Yeah, I heard that. You read it out and I heard the work. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:50 I was like, that's someone trying to rhyme with turtle. That's 20 minutes right there. Yeah, I get more time than you as well. Yeah. You steam a dumpling perfectly. That was Nat Harris. It needed a few more beats. Yeah, because I was like, who would be awarding that? You know, in what circumstance? Yeah, exactly. that was Nat Harris. It needed a few more beats. I feel you for sure.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Who would be awarding that? In what circumstance? Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Getting the highest score at the Kentucky Show Jumping Championships, that was Grace. Again, beautiful detail. It sounds like you all know Spurtle is like a wooden stick.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Yeah. Sounds like you've all made that connection. On a cellular level, we picked that up. Oh, yeah, we definitely know that, yeah. Yeah. Sounds like you've all made that connection. On a cellular level. Oh, yeah, we definitely know that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Winning the Boston nude relay with the spurtle carried and passed on between the butt cheeks. That was the house. The correct answer was by producing the best traditional porridge of the world, porridge making championship. Oh, well done. Because that's what the spurtles use for stir and the porridge. Because in Edinburgh last year, I bought my mum a spurtle for Christmas and a book about how to make traditional porridge. And it had a little tag that was like, porridge spurtle. And I was like, great, Christmas present for mum, done.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Edinburgh, I was there about 10 years ago or whatever. The house I was staying at was a local's place, just a bedroom there. So I got to use the kitchen every day, made porridge with the spurtle. And I'm like, it's just like I use a wooden spoon at home. It's similar. Yeah, it's just a wooden stick. Only you can't scoop it out. I think it's supposed to be sort of a mashing and a stirring contraption.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I honestly think a spoon is probably better, but I don't know if that's heresy to the porridge community. Are you a porridge fan? No. Okay. I don't like any foods that are slop. Okay. Because you sort of have the aura of someone who might like slop-like foods.
Starting point is 00:38:36 I know. It's unfortunate. I really don't. I don't mean that. You think I'm sloppy? No, I mean that in the way that you've got an old-timey dress, you know, back when porridge would have been, I love porridge every day.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yeah, I love porridge too. But you could have gone because you're moving to the UK in the future. I do look like I have a long, yeah, next year. I do look like I have a stew cooking at home. Yeah. And I don't like stew. You've got to give an old-timey aesthetic
Starting point is 00:39:02 because there's nothing wrong with that. All right. Question number six is by Emmy White from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Whoa. And Emmy's question is, what is 18th century woman Mary Toft known for? What is 18th century woman Mary Toft known for?
Starting point is 00:39:19 And while you're writing your answers, let me tell the listeners a bit more about the Porridge World Championships. According to the Golden Spurtles official website the world porridge making championship title and the golden spurtle will be awarded to the competitor producing the best traditional porridge made from oatmeal in brackets pinhead coarse medium or fine oh you got choices you got choices don't think they're that strict okay but it has to be made with untreated oatmeal not with oat flakes or rolled oats and with only water and salt added any be made with untreated oatmeal, not with oat flakes or rolled oats, and with only water and salt added.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Any porridge made with oats other than oatmeal will be disqualified. Competitors who prefer to soak their oatmeal may do so, but no prior cooking is allowed. That's probably the benefit of the spurtle. I think with a rolled oat, you don't need to bash it as much. Oh, of course. So, yeah. With your traditional oat, you need something to get in it as much. Oh, of course. So, yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:05 With your traditional oat, you need something to get in there and mush it up. Yeah, that's right. I think I'm going like the hardcore oats because I get the rolled oats, not the quick oats. But I forget there's a whole other level. You're on sissy oats. Imagine that the more full-on oats are, yeah, that would be harder work. Harder work, probably sharper in your mouth if you don't mush them enough.
Starting point is 00:40:27 More cooking time. Who knows? Oh, my God. What's your favourite porridge topping? I'd just normally go with milk. Just milk? Plain? God.
Starting point is 00:40:36 That is full slop. Flip a little. That's proper slop. No yoghurt, no berries. Brown sugar or something? Yoghurt, cold on hot. Whoa. Honey. Honey. Honey. a slop no yogurt no berries brown sugar or something yogurt cold on hot whoa honey i got honey yes i i go through stages of honey but then i'm like i'm getting addicted to this honey do i
Starting point is 00:40:52 need this to start the day wow banana and honey is a great combo exactly yeah it's like you're afraid bees are gonna stop yeah which isn't that true isn't that on the cards colony collapse disorder yeah b time i knew you'd have the answer god i haven't been disorder should i get on this b newsletter what are you where are you getting this information it's been around for a while i think yeah that's a big worry the bees are gonna go and that's like the beginning of the end oh yeah i have seen a lot of like signs from people on the street telling me that 5G is killing the bees. Oh, I didn't realise it was 5G.
Starting point is 00:41:31 I'll switch back to 4G. You should look up on YouTube as well how bees see a flower because they can see ultraviolet. We can't. And they can't see red yet. They can see all of these like the flowers give them all of these kind of visuals and lights for them to pollinate. So it's very cool.
Starting point is 00:41:48 It's 5B. We're seeing in 5B. I don't think I said anything for five minutes. Just for the record there, Grace didn't clap. She still processed the B information. Still in awe. oh you probably want to know uh what they judge it based on its consistency taste and color color and on the hygiene of the competitor during the during the cooking process that's how much glove that's that is good i'd like
Starting point is 00:42:22 that did you shower this morning yeah i'd Yeah. I'd like that judged in everything. In most restaurants, maybe. Yeah, most restaurants. Like, I don't care if the chef is on cocaine. I expect that. But did he clean under his fingernails before he made this? Five hats, one sponge. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Yeah, how old is this rag? That's my question. So they're held annually, and this year is the 30th annual. It's going to be held on Saturday the 7th of October. So please, if anyone's in the neighbourhood, get along. Send us some pics. There's also like a non-traditional segment where people make wild things with oats. Cool.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Like sculptures or? Well, different foods. Like they look like there was a crock and bush one that won it one year. All these sort of weird things. I feel like someone's angling for a sponsor and that might be porridge. Do you think we could get big porridge on golf? Big porridge. Yeah, watch out for big porridge.
Starting point is 00:43:10 The announcement on their website of the 30th annual event signs off with, until then, be safe, be well, and eat porridge, which I thought was beautiful. I just got goosebumps. Yeah, I know. Incredible copy there. Music swells. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Just dropping the whiteboard marker. We got it. Incredible copy there. Music swells. Just dropping the whiteboard marker. We got it. We nailed it. Print it. You're also wearing an Oats hoodie right now. Oh, my God. I think, yeah. You are angling for a porridge sponsorship.
Starting point is 00:43:40 That is pure porridge. Uncle Toby's get on the phone. I do love oats. I reckon that with this podcast we'd be on brand with Uncle Toby's. Yeah. I think, well, if there are any big advertising spenders out there listening. Looking to burn some cash. We could do sponsored questions.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Of course. Yeah. Every week. If Pepsi was on board with that Pepsi question, what a beautiful collab. I know. And I've been giving it away for free. All right. Here's question number six.
Starting point is 00:44:12 What is 18th century woman Mary Toft known for? She designed and popularised the Toft method, a way of avoiding infection and disease by bathing regularly. In a painful hoax, she placed dead rabbits inside her vagina and pretended to give birth to them, claiming divine intervention. Grace. That does feel like a grace. What?
Starting point is 00:44:33 Why did everybody look at me? I don't know. This is not my area. I couldn't put my finger on it. Vagina and rabbits? That does seem. I'm constantly being accused of being one of those weird sex clowns. I am a straight stand-up.
Starting point is 00:44:45 I don't know why people think I do weird shit. Circumnavigating America in a hot air balloon solo. Her priest was convinced her third nipple was a sign from God that she would give birth to triplets who would be great spiritual leaders. Wow. It's better than being convinced she's a devil. Yeah. Could go either way with priests being convinced of things.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you'd be sweating, wouldn't you? Oh, don't mention my third nipple. Oh, it's good? Okay, phew. Okay. There'll be triplets. And what are we doing in the triplets?
Starting point is 00:45:14 There'll be spiritual. Great, great news. Okay. Don't put me in the river. She's the first person to survive a rattlesnake bite or she burnt down Queen Victoria's Crystal Palace. Oh, hello. Wow.
Starting point is 00:45:29 So she bathed regularly. I think the bathing one. Rabbits, giving birth to rabbits, hot air balloon, third nipple, rattlesnake bite or burning down the Crystal Palace. I feel like it's the bathing one. Bathing one? Can I hear it again, please? She designed and popularised the TOFT method,
Starting point is 00:45:51 a way of avoiding infection and disease by bathing regularly. Yeah, look at him. Go for Nat. I'm going to go, I do like the rabbits, but I'm going to go hot air balloon, I reckon. Hot air balloon. That's a good bit for the olden times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Just feel like, fuck it, I'm going to put rabbits up my vagina. I'm not going to live that long anyway. Might as well have a good time. I'm going to go with the rabbits. Okay. Locking that in for Maggie. Let's go through who wrote the answers. She put down Queen Victoria's Crystal Palace.
Starting point is 00:46:27 That was written by Maggie Luke. Hey, nice one. The first person to survive a rattlesnake bike. That is Grace. Her priest convinced her third nipple was a sign from God. That was Emmy White, okay, the house. Emmy. Too positive.
Starting point is 00:46:43 That can't be true. The third nipple would always be a devil. Yeah, yeah. You're being drowned. In the 1800s. She was like, nipple. Yeah. No one's keen on it, I reckon.
Starting point is 00:46:52 The TOF method, way of avoiding infection by bathing, that was the house. Wow. She went for Nat. That's a good 45 minutes, I'd say, the house took on that. Nah, I wrote that on the way here today, actually. Just banged that one out. Circumnavigating American hot air balloon, which Grace went for. That was Nat.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Meaning the correct answer, Maggie was right. In a painful hoax, she placed dead rabbits in her vagina and pretended to give birth to them by claiming divine intervention. Hey, that's crazy. Isn't that crazy? Talk about attention seeking. Yeah, so I'm a bit of a history buff, but I knew that story, but I listened to a really good podcast on it.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Oh. Yeah. Full podcast about it? Full podcast. Oh, great. Oh, well, you could probably give better info. I've got a bit of info about it for the listeners, but let me know if I miss anything.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Did she die of some form of septic shock? No, I think she lived on and she was- Oh, great. Apparently, once the hoax came out, she got a lot of attention for it. But once the hoax came out, she was still occasionally brought out at shows. Hey, she's the woman who said that she gave birth to rabbits. I mean, it's a good bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:53 But apparently didn't have a lot of success once. People knew it wasn't true. Oh. I saw a lady in Edinburgh last year pull a fish out of her vagina. Oh. You know, people loved it. She's just ahead of her time. She'd been on board for fringe festivals.
Starting point is 00:48:09 This lady would have been fucking loaded. And did they, and did they, was she claiming that she was giving birth to that? No, she was pretending to be a mermaid. Oh, okay. Of course. The rest of us do it the other way around, so it's nice to see someone pulling one out.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Right? Yeah. Sorry. Never Right? Yeah. Sorry. Never apologise. All right, this is the final question. We always finish with a movie synopsis, so this one will be a bit longer than that, like a short paragraph. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:35 So you just write what the story of the film is. And this comes from Colin Campbell from Malvern in Pennsylvania, and the question is, what is the synopsis of the 1986 film Deadly Friend? What is the synopsis of the 1986 film Deadly Friend? What is the synopsis of the 1986 film Deadly Friend? By the way, Nat, this is also worth triple points. So it's truly anyone's game. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Okay. Yeah. So here's some more info about Mary Toft. According to IFL Science, on September the 27th, 1726, watched over by her neighbor and mother-in-law, Toft went into labour. She had appeared to have given birth to a cat that had had its liver removed. They called a doctor, and the next day, when Dr John Howard arrived, the family presented him with the liverless cat. The doctor was understandably baffled by the case. He monitored
Starting point is 00:49:20 her over the next month and recorded what came out. During that month, he noted that she had pushed out several legs from a cat, a rabbit's head, as well as nine baby rabbits. He informed local scientists, doctors, and the King of England. She really ran it up the chain there. Yeah, that's right. Who's the most important person we can tell? Who needs to know this? The King.
Starting point is 00:49:42 The King's like, okay. Okay. Is this like a government thing or not sure I can be involved? Yeah, I don't know. This feels like women's business to me. Surely we've got a department that can handle this. While he waited for the, while Dr. John Howard waited for the medical community to arrive, he took any animal body parts that came out and pickled them like onions,
Starting point is 00:50:06 one of which was eventually delivered to the king. Again, he'd be like, okay, thank you. Yeah, thanks, I guess. Put it in the gift room. Just chuck it out. Why has he done this? Gotta have a hobby, I suppose. That's true.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Mary's fame understandably grew. The medical team dispatched by the king arrived on November the 15th, just in time to witness Toph delivering yet another rabbit. Rather than making a pickle of it, the doctors this time examined the dead parts more closely. One of the king's men, Swiss surgeon and anatomist Nathaniel St. Andre, was convinced that the births were of supernatural origin. He took samples back to the king and the prince of Wales
Starting point is 00:50:45 to show them for evidence. But others had some fairly major questions. For instance, some of the rabbits appeared to be newborns, but others appeared to be three months old. When the king sent a better surgeon, Syracus Aylers, he investigated more closely and found that one of the rabbits had dung in his rectum. Picking it apart, he found traces of hay, corn and straw in there.
Starting point is 00:51:05 So there you go. This doesn't seem quite right. It feels like there's no hay in your womb. Yeah, that'd be an equal miracle. Yeah. Toft explained her supernatural births as having been caused by a rabbit she was startled by while working in a field. Well, at least she didn't fuck it.
Starting point is 00:51:20 That's true. Well, she didn't say what happened after she was startled by it. She was startled by it. They became a romance She fucked the rabbit At the time people believed that Mother's thoughts and feelings could impact The look and development of their offspring in the womb
Starting point is 00:51:35 By November Imagine the pressure of that for nine months Worrying about your thoughts affecting your baby's face Yeah that's disastrous Because most pregnant people are always like This sucks, this kind of hurts all the time, and this is really uncomfortable, and you're trying to be positive in your brain so that your baby's face is okay.
Starting point is 00:51:52 And then something goes wrong with the birth and, like, the dad's like, oh, great, yeah, well, I know who did this. Another long line of tradition of blaming women for everything. Also, it's the olden times. They're all drinking. They've got fetal alcohol syndrome anyway. Right. They're all drinking tonics.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Ales because the water's not good. By November, Toft was being watched by a large crowd of people who had been invited by Andre to validate her claims, which was somewhat of an own goal. Under careful watch, she produced no more rabbits nor any random limbs. Oh, yeah, because she can't go into the bathroom and shove dead bodies up her puss.
Starting point is 00:52:31 A porter was soon found attempting to sneak a rabbit into her room upon the request of Mary's sister-in-law. To make an already grim tale worse, Toft, who there is a strong case to believe she'd been manipulated into the bizarre situations, historians historians argue was placed under pressure to confess eventually after being threatened with a painful surgery in order to investigate the births she confessed yeah good plan yeah it's the old times i'm not living through surgery toff was jailed for a few months but which is wild for what for pretending to give birth to rabbits what is the charge the king's time uh she's the bell gibson of the day yeah uh so she was jabbed for a few months
Starting point is 00:53:14 before being returned to her life occasionally being wheeled out as a curiosity by the duke of richmond meanwhile the medical profession was mocked mercilessly by the press for being taken in by the fakery and san and Andre's reputation lay in tatters. Oh, I mean, you've got to look into it. Yeah. I don't think that's their fault. I think looking into it was fine. Believing it was the problem.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Believing it was the thing that made some people go, I don't know if I want you delivering my human baby. Yeah, that's fair enough. Having a giggle at your answer? Nat's pretty happy in the corner. Nat's typing away the great Australian novel over here. In my defence, I've been up since 4.30. Breakfast radio, brutal. I really appreciate you hanging up to do it at this late stage of the day.
Starting point is 00:54:01 I hope mine gets picked. Okay, no pressure on you too, but it would be nice if maybe you could pick Nats. I picked all the Nats. Yeah, yeah. Come on. Go for the hat trick. All right. Here is the final question.
Starting point is 00:54:12 What is the synopsis of the 1986 film Deadly Friend? In this 1986 family favourite, a young boy called Peter moves to outback Queensland to live with his grandmother. He makes friends with a local Jabba gay boy while working after school at the local cinema. Oh, deadly friend. He just made friends with an Indigenous boy. That's nice. That's option number one.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I like it. Option two. When Bobby's pet dog gets bitten by a radioactive rabid raccoon, he slowly turns into a dangerous beast. Soon town cats, the mailman and more go missing. All at the hands of this mutant mutt. Can Bobby's scientist dad find a cure in time before more of the town falls victim to this man's deadly best friend.
Starting point is 00:54:53 So pet cemetery. Did you write that? I'm looking at you like you wrote that. We're turned against each other. A psychosexual thriller of two friends, Hall and Oates, who grow incredibly close on an international school trip to South Korea. Okay. The lines blur between reality and the surreal on this formative trip.
Starting point is 00:55:17 And guess what? One of them dies. Well, two friends called Hall and Oates. Is that it? Okay. It was the 80s. That was the original Hall and Oates. Everyone was called Hall and Oates. Is that it? It was the 80s. That was the original Hall and Oates. Everyone was called Hall and Oates.
Starting point is 00:55:27 That's who they were named after. Okay. Or was it a tribute, a little cash-in? Who knows? They might have done the soundtrack. They loved turtlenecks. Is it a crime? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Gotta keep your neck warm. The new kid in town, Paul, is a robotics genius. When Sam, the girl he has a crush on, falls into a coma, he attempts to save her by implanting a robotic microchip into her brain. Oh, no. It works, but she comes back to life ready to go on a killing spree. Ready. That's the key word.
Starting point is 00:55:58 She's ready. I'm ready to go. Ready to go. That's why we have to put a stop to Elon Musk before he gets into, you know. And I feel like comas are really 80s. They are, aren't they? There are so many coma movies in the 80s. No one's in a coma.
Starting point is 00:56:10 No one cares anymore. In the 80s, comas were huge. They were big in the 80s. They were. Like Awakenings and there was that one with like that movie with Sandra Bullock or something. Sandra Bullock, yeah. And Fiance's in a coma. That's true.
Starting point is 00:56:26 That was the most, I watched that like homesick from school once because it was on TV and it stressed me out so much because she just kept like getting herself into trouble and I was like, just bail on this. Just leave. You don't know this man. That was one where she sort of lied that she was married to him or something. Pretended that, yeah, she was married.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Yeah, no good. And that he was in a coma and his family was like. Brought her in. Yeah. Fun fact, the guy in the coma was the dad from the OC. Sandy Cohen. Whoa. Don't forget those eyebrows.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Our generation's dad. Sorry, Grace. Your generation's granddad. I don't know that our generation has a dad. I think that's why we're so fucked up. That's option number four. Two to go. During their junior high camping trip to Cape Henlopen,
Starting point is 00:57:16 twins Alex and Sarah and their friends are trying to have the best time of their lives. But strange things keep happening. A cabin burns down, a teacher goes missing, and the cafeteria is all out of sloppy joes. Are these supernatural occurrences, or is there a more likely culprit hidden amongst the staff, the class, or even their circle of friends? Can the twins survive the trip and make it to the end of Camp Dance?
Starting point is 00:57:38 Camp Dance. That's cool. That's very 80s too. Yeah, Camp Dance. Camp Dance. Yeah, if there was a coma and a camp dance, I think you're pretty sure that's 80s. Well, finally, an interpretation of the Greek myth of the labyrinth
Starting point is 00:57:52 where a woman trapped in an underground bunker befriends the Minotaur. So there are six options. I'll just go through them very quickly. So we had the Outback Queensland. We had Bobby's pet dog getting bitten by a raccoon. A psychosexual thriller of two friends, Hall and Oates, who go on a school trip to South Korea, which is very 80s, all of that. South Korea.
Starting point is 00:58:14 If I think South Korea, I think 80s. You got the robotics genius, Paul. Robotics is also, I think, very 80s. Very 80s. I can see the hand. Yeah, exactly. He puts the microchip in his girlfriend's brain. Classic.
Starting point is 00:58:27 I don't know much about the 80s, but I know there was AV clubs. Yes, well, big, weren't they? Huge. Shapes of microchips in your girlfriend's brain. Who knows? Who knows what it even stands for? We can't know. I think it stands for audiovisual.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Okay. Then we had the school camp, Alex and Sarah trying to make it to the camp dance or the interpretation of the Greek myth of the labyrinth where a woman is trapped underground and befriends the Minotaur. Anyone want to jump in? I'm going to lock in camp dance. It just really speaks to me. And if it's not a film, then it should be.
Starting point is 00:59:02 An 80s homage. Yeah, I did like the sound of the raccoon one as well, but I feel raccoon's not so 80s. She's taking notes. Not so 80s. She can't stop. She's working it out like it's a maths problem. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:59:13 I feel like the raccoon is great, but, yeah, it's more. She's putting her pen behind her ear now. More 2000s, more contemporary. The raccoons make you come back. It's all about the raccoon in the. Really? The galaxy film. Oh, yeah. I think in the Mario film he wears the raccoon suit.
Starting point is 00:59:28 Oh, really? Raccoons are back on the big screen. Is that a raccoon or is that a flying squirrel? Oh, my God. That's a good question. That's a great question. And I didn't realise I'd get called out on it here, but yeah, you're probably right. It's probably a flying squirrel. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to. No, you're right. No, raccoons don't fly. It makes no sense.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Yeah, because he puts the suit on and he glides. Yeah. Like the Mario Brothers? Yeah. Has anyone seen it? Yes. What's it like? It was what I would expect a kid's movie about a video game to be like.
Starting point is 01:00:01 They just had all the characters in. It was animated. It was animated. It was colourful. It looked pretty good. I'm just curious because it was like the highest grossing film or whatever. Really? It was huge.
Starting point is 01:00:11 It was like number one. So I was like, what the fuck is going on? What the fuck? You were furious. I wasn't furious, but I was like, whoa, really? People always yell at me because I say that my favourite Indiana Jones film is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And they're like, what are you talking about? I about I'm like yeah I was a kid when it came out
Starting point is 01:00:27 I saw it in the movies that's right it's just the thing when you were a kid and also it's the only one where they're outdoors for long periods so I can see what the fuck is going on Temple of Doom where are the freaking lights I can't see I can't see anything you may need glasses. Yeah. Alright. I'm locking in Minotaur. Locking in Minotaur for
Starting point is 01:00:51 Maggie. Maggie's going Minotaur. Minotaur. I feel like that was an 80s thing as well. Minotaur. Big in the 80s. Labyrinth. Fantastic film. I'm going to go Coma. Coma. Yeah. You've all gone for big 80s tropes. Big in the 80s.
Starting point is 01:01:06 I do like the sound of the first film, but it sounds too contemporary. So let's go through who wrote the answers. The 1986 family favourite where Peter moves to the outback in Queensland, that was Maggie Luke. Now, how do I go with the pronunciation there? I think it's Jabba Gay. Jabba Gay. Yeah, it's an area in far north Queensland. Did a little twist there. See what I there? I think it's Jabba Gay. Jabba Gay. Yeah, it's an area in Far North Queensland.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Did a little twist there. See what I did? I took deadly. Yeah. In the good version. Yeah. That's some quick, you should make that. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:01:35 Copyright. Yeah. The Radioactive Rabid Raccoon. That was written by Colin, aka The House. Colin. Then we had The Psychosexual thriller of two friends Hall and Oates. That was Nat. I knew it was. It was the Hall and Oates. I looked straight
Starting point is 01:01:50 at you and you were trying to deflect. You were giggling. You were giggling and trying to deflect. Oh, did you? God, it sounds good, doesn't it? But also truthful. Like it sounds like it genuinely could have been a film. So well done. Thank you. The high school camping trip with this school camp dance which nat went for that was also colin okay the house god colin
Starting point is 01:02:11 the interpretation of the greek myth of the labyrinth which maggie went for that was grace meaning grace also got the correct answer newton townown pool of robotics genius puts a microchip in the girl's head and she becomes a killer. Robotics. They loved it. Lovely. It makes the most sense to the name of the movie as well. Deadly Friend.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Yeah, you're right. Deadly Friend. All right. So I'll calculate the scores. You needed the points. I know. I was struggling. Is that more points for the bio or is it the same amount of points?
Starting point is 01:02:45 More points, sorry, for the synopsis? Yeah. Three points, yeah, triple points. Oh, so, oh, okay, gracious. Well, calculate the scores in a second. In the meanwhile, so Deadly Friend was actually a Wes Craven film and it flopped at the box office. It was also canned by critics.
Starting point is 01:02:59 20% rating on Rotten Tomato. The audience slightly more friendly with 39%. The Rotten Tomatoes critics' consensus reads, rating on rotten tomato the audience slightly more friendly with 39 the rotten tomatoes critics consensus reads an uninspired departure for wes craven mired by an uneven premise beware this is one deadly friend this doesn't really work as a like you mean the movie yeah yeah i hate when critics are not good writers either and you're like, well, pot kettle here, man. At least this guy had a go. All right, here's the scores.
Starting point is 01:03:31 In fourth place, first timer, Nat Harris. Oh, I came last. Three points. I'm not taking it well. In third place on four points is Maggie Luke. In second place on eight points, it's Grace Jarvis. Meaning the house wins for the second week in a row after an eight-week dry spell on 12 points.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Wow, well done. Before we go, where can people find you? Nat, you're on Breakfast Radio every morning? Yep, triple R. And when's this coming out? Monday. Yeah, you'll just find me on radio. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Are you doing something before Monday? No. Why do you ask? No, it's embarrassing because I'm, like, not doing much. Well, you're doing breakfast radio every day. True, true, true. And people can listen around the world if they want to via the website, I believe.
Starting point is 01:04:21 Yeah, you can. Tune in. I do gigs around the city. Follow me on Instagram at NadizDragon. Awesome. Grace, you're heading over to Edinburgh soon. That's the main thing you want to tell people about? Yep, going to Edinburgh, doing the whole month underbelly,
Starting point is 01:04:35 scared because I'd never done a show there before and I don't think anyone knows who I am. Are you comfortable with people coming up to you afterwards and saying, hey, I heard you on the podcast? Oh, please do that. That would be a real polling. I love when someone tells me how the fuck they found my show. Michelle Brazier says that she loves it when people come in like Dugo
Starting point is 01:04:55 or Aunty Donna merchandise. Yeah. She says it's just over in Edinburgh. It feels nice to have some. It's like a survey. Yeah. And how did you hear about this comedian? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Yeah. And also podcast listeners are the kindest audience members All the time because they don't want to be involved They love to be a third party Yeah so yeah Edinburgh And my Twitter and Instagram is At Grace Jarvis oh no And I'm on TikTok as well Against my will But you know trying to market this thing.
Starting point is 01:05:25 So, yeah, come along. If you follow me, I'll be posting about it and probably any kind of scrapes or antics I get into falling down some sort of cobblestone hill. Can you do one day of porridge with a spurtle? Yeah. Yeah, I'll get into it. You owe it to the listeners.
Starting point is 01:05:40 You owe it to them. They deserve at least this. I'll find out where they do the best porridge in Edinburgh and I'll eat it and I'll be like, I still don't like porridge. Sorry. This is the worst and that's what you deserve. Yeah, yeah. It's better than you deserve.
Starting point is 01:05:52 Maggie Luke, how about you? You can find me at It's Okay It's Maggie Luke on Instagram and I've got lots of stuff coming out but nothing before Monday.

Starting point is 01:07:52 He always drives me home. Have you ever been called sassy? Oh, yeah. Really? I think of myself as like a low-key sassy. A dry, sassy bitch. Like a biscuit. Let's say, like, someone said that to me once.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Like, I didn't know you were such a sassy bitch. And that's really stuck with me. I'm like, yeah, I guess I am. Yeah, okay. I think you have to be a sassy bitch to call someone else a sassy bitch. True. Sassy bitch squared. It's like when that snake eats its tail.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Yeah. Whatever that's called, the sassy bitch ring. I like that. Yeah, I wouldn't feel comfortable chucking out sassy bitch at anybody. I don't even think bitch feels right in my mouth. Yeah, it's not in your discourse, Grace, and that's not such a bad thing. Try use it this week. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:40 See how it feels. It's my quest. You won't sleep. I feel like it's something i'd say if i was panicking at a party or something oh you're a sassy bitch like i don't know everyone's like oh god what happened there exactly yeah calling over you're gripped grace i can tell i'm i'm obsessed i like that he it's like tonic where it used to have quinine in it to, like, prevent you from getting malaria and now it super doesn't. Right.
Starting point is 01:09:07 But people are still like, yeah, have some tonic water. It's good for you. And it's like it's not in there anymore, man. And also we're not near any malaria. Yeah. I always assumed it was kind of healthy because of the name. Because it tastes bad. But I think it's, yeah, and it tastes awful.
Starting point is 01:09:20 Yeah. It's what's in it for us. I always thought G and T's were bad because of the G. No, it's both. Turned out it was the T. It's both as bad. You don't like tonic. No, tonic's no good. I like tonic.
Starting point is 01:09:31 If there's no quinine in it, what's the point, you know? If there's no what? Quinine. Is that what it is to stop you from getting malaria? I was a very anxious child and I read a lot of very old books. So I was very afraid of malaria and dysentery. I was convinced dysentery was going to kill me up until I was like 15. I was like, this is what's taking me out.
Starting point is 01:09:50 That was the scout's fault, to be fair. And also scarlet fever. I was very afraid that that was going to get me. I don't know why. I read so many books where so many of my favorite characters died of scarlet fever. Also, the Velveteen Rabbit. I fever. Also, The Velveteen Rabbit. I was traumatised by The Velveteen Rabbit. They, like, burn all of his things because he had scarlet fever.
Starting point is 01:10:10 What's The Velveteen Rabbit? That's an old book. It's a book about a little bunny who's his toy bunny and then the kid gets sick and so they have to burn all of his bedding and all of his belongings and everything that's been near him because they didn't really understand how it spread. So, The Velveteen rabbit gets burned oh my god that's awful and a kid's book it's a kid's book it's like a classic and then i think it comes back as a real rabbit i don't know but i was always like oh someone's
Starting point is 01:10:35 gonna burn my teddy bear if i get sick very stressful so stressed you just do my g and t i know this is my thing i'm like i'm going to Edinburgh. I'm like, I'm staying in like student comm. I'm like, what if I get bed bugs and I have to burn all my clothes or whatever? I don't know that that's how they do it anymore. I think they do over there. It's all leeches and fire. It's Scotland. Surely that it's too cold for bed bugs, right?
Starting point is 01:10:59 Yeah, they're snug, aren't they? I don't really know how they feel. I think they like the tropics, which is why I refuse to go there. I've just looked up your quinine thing. Apparently in the 1700s, a Scottish doctor, George Cleghorn, sounds like a fake name, discovered that quinine could be used to treat malaria. This quickly led to a tonic water being drunk by British soldiers
Starting point is 01:11:20 stationed in India to fight malaria. Yeah, so you were bang on. Yeah. I read a lot of old books. I don't know. Is there anything to as well, is there any basis to if you drink G&Ts like to ward off mosquitoes? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Yeah. That's why they, yeah, tonic. That's why it was a tonic. Yeah. Is there anything to that? That's what it is. Quinine was in the tonic water. That's why they was a tonic. Yeah. Is there anything to that? That's what it is. Quinine was in the tonic water. That's why they drink G&Ts is to stop the mosquitoes.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Oh, okay. Because they're the malaria spreaders. Malaria, okay. It was like a medicine flavour that everyone took on board. A bit slow on the uptake. I didn't grasp the thing that he just said. I wasn't listening. There I said it.
Starting point is 01:12:05 I was thinking about the thing we have to write. We have to be creative and then he throws all this stuff at us. It's a nightmare. Written a short play in Messenger on Facebook with headphones on. Yeah, this is a sensory nightmare. Scene one, exterior. Yeah, exactly. There's a whole article on ABC News called Drink Jantees to Stop Mozzie's.
Starting point is 01:12:26 Here's what the science says, but it's too long. I couldn't find the answer. We'll never know what the science really says. It says that there's not enough quinine in the tonic anymore for it to be worthwhile. You should take doxycycline or whatever the malaria medication is. Okay, now you don't have your pen. Come on, this one you should be writing down i only know that because i'm on doxycycline because it it's really good like it gives you
Starting point is 01:12:51 really nice skin oh yeah you do have beautiful skin thank you but it is also like malaria medication so you're pray you can't get malaria hope so fingers crossed i mean i'm not going anywhere where there is malaria to be fair so. Obviously, so clean. Never say never. That's true. We all said that about COVID. We said, oh, we're the guys that love COVID. Remember when you saw us there in 2019? Love and live and laugh COVID free.
Starting point is 01:13:18 It's bad. Sweating is bad. I actually love sweating. Love getting a good sweat? It's good because you're really good at it. I do sweat. I love it. I love saunas.
Starting point is 01:13:29 I love sweating. Wow. I love humid heat. I moved to Melbourne to avoid humid heat. I was like, I'm getting out of Queensland. I hate the heat. And I feel like, do you find it's good for your skin? Sweating?
Starting point is 01:13:41 Yeah. No, I don't think so.
