Welcome to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart and our guests this week include the host of the Deathbed Comedy Club in Brunswick, it's Raewyn Pickering. Hello Matt Stewart, thank you very much. Our second guest this week is host of D&D is for Nerds, it's Adam Cannavale.

Hi, it's nice to be here. So nice to have you here. Don't know why I'm saying it like this. Feels weird. It's a beautiful cadence. I think it feels good. Is it because Raewyn just gave you a gummy bear to start with? You're on a gummy bear high?

You're on a high. Well, maybe, yeah. I also have a coffee, and I don't know why I ever drink coffee because it makes me vibrate. I don't know why I did this. It really makes me feel like I start feeling like what everyone else feels when they wake up. Like, whoa, how good is this?

Like a normal amount of energy. So the way the show works is I ask a relatively obscure trivia question and our guests 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. The first question comes from listener Robin Blakey from Dublin in Ireland. So, Robin's question is, the phrase, Eir mwyn na mwyca, is a phrase that means

you are doing well or lucky in Irish. But what does it directly translate to? What does the phrase directly translate to? Sorry, can you say that? Say the phrase again? Eir mwyn na mwyca. Eir mwyn na mwyca. Eir mwyn na mwyca. translate to sorry can you say that say the phrase again and i'm confident that's vaguely right because robin broke it down like the thing you breathe win like win with an m before it nah wicker like wca but with an M beforehand. So yeah. And wait what did you say it meant?

So it means doing well or lucky. So it's shorthand for that but it actually translates directly to something. What does the direct translation mean? And while they're writing their answers I'll explain how the scoring works. So you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point if you correctly guessed the answer. Hey, by the way, I'm also playing as the house. I've put in two of my own fake answers for each question. 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 sometimes wins. Let's be honest, it's not that often. Anyway, our questions come from our great patreon supporters and if you want to submit a question sign up on any level by patreon.com slash do go on pod which is linked in the show notes all right the answer in for question number one here's the question the phrase am wind am wicker means you are doing

well or lucky in irish but what does it directly translate to? As good as the rain on a sheep's back. Playing with house money. My da's a leprechaun. On the pig's back. Or luck has you in its hands. Or luck is grabbing your hands violently. Oh.

That's one option. Two slight variation on the same so as good as rain on the sheep's back playing with house money my daza leprechaun on the pigs back two different animals backs or luck is grabbing your hands violently I like how visceral the luck is grabbing your hands it's a real yeah it's an aggressive yeah i like that yeah the luck is gonna get you it does feel yeah almost too like scary like you don't want it to happen ah you would say that i would i'm lucky boy i am i i think it's you already pointed it out matt i like how there's two different animal back based ones yeah that's intriguing me i'm wondering if that has something to do with anything yeah you're good at finding patterns aren't you but you're not explained yeah you're good at finding them but what to do with them who knows

i can once explained to me i can see a pattern but then it all becomes a muddle for me you're good at seeing the jigsaw pieces not good at putting them together someone's like that's a jigsaw puzzle I'm like it is so do you want to lock in yeah I really like that

luck is grabbing your hands violently I'm going to take pig or cow. I'm going to take pig. You're going to go with pig? I'm going to go with pig. Cow wasn't an option. Was there a cow? Oh, what were the two animals?

Sheep or pig? Sheep. I got... Cows on the line. You've got as good as rain on a sheep's back or on the pig's back? I'm going on the pig's back. I'm taking on the pig's back. You're going with the pig?

Yes. Pig's back. Locking in, Eddie. Interesting. All on the pig's back. I'm taking on the pig's back. You're going with the pig. Yes. Locking in the pig. Interesting. All right. Here's who wrote the answers. Playing with house money. That was the house.

As was my da's a leprechaun. But Robin wrote that specifically. And Robin also said, I'm Irish, so I can say that. Okay. All right. Okay. I'm very glad we did not take that. Hang on.

How can you? You can't. Appropriate. Like, no problems. As good as rain on a sheep's back. That was Rowan Pickering. Nearly gotcha. You did.

Although it was the animal you did not remember. That's classic me, though. Sheeps and cows, they're basically the same thing, right? And there is a saying about Australia rode on the sheep's back or something. Is there? There is some saying like that as well. I think it's because our economy was heavily wool-based at one point.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. Luck is grabbing your hands violently. Raven went for that. That was Adam Cannavale. Meaning the correct answer was on the pig's back. Whoa! A strong start. You got it! Amazing. That was Adam Cannavale. Oh. Meaning the correct answer was on the pig's back. A strong start. You got it.

Amazing. Damn it. What put the sheeps back in your head? Because that is amazing how close you were to the truth. Did you know? Well, obviously, I mean, I tricked you so you wouldn't have known. Yeah. I don't know.

That is weird. Feels like maybe deep down in you somewhere you knew. I knew I was tapped into the backs of animals. Yes, that's right. You didn't figure out the word for pig. I knew there was something lucky. But the back. So, yeah, the hulking back is something really that speaks to me. I wonder what pig is.

Don't give me the front. Is the back the moika? The moika. Or the amuin. Oh or the amuin oh the win yeah it could be yeah anyway well speculate on something i have no idea about well it's fantastic first round this bodes well for a fantastic episode i think i'm excited for a quick rise and then a very quick fall i will aggressively come in on the back.

Wait, no. You can aggressively come on the pig's back. No reason to be anything. Look at this. Let's not read into it. Just take a sip. Move it swiftly along. Here's question number two.

This one comes from Rebecca Garnett from Ontario, Canada. Or Ontario? Yeah. Yeah. And the question is, what tradition did the fans of Detroit's hockey team, the Red Wings, start in 1952? What tradition did the fans of Detroit's hockey team, the Red Wings, start in 1952? While you're writing your answers, here's some more info on that beautiful Irish phrase. As Robin writes, in researching the origins of this, I found the most Irish quote that could

have ever existed, which was taken from the Constitution or Cork Advertiser on Thursday, the 30th of April, 1829. And this is it. Dear Pat, we're all upon the pigs back here and no wonder since the Sassanac are put down and our friends carry the day I'm just going to the Shabine to drink success to the boys and it's a note

the Sassanac or Sassanach refers to English people and a Shabine is an illegal pub so basically Dear pat geez how lucky are we the boys got up beat the english i'm going to the pub beautiful beautiful little slice of 1829 history i once heard a very interesting fact interesting to me at least that um as you there was like some sort of survey done of pubs around the uk and the more south you are in the uk the more likely the pub is to reference the king or queen because they're they tend to be more pro the monarchy the more south you go in the uk

right uh yeah that makes sense yeah they're closer to them. Yeah, yeah, proximity. I just think that's interesting. Yeah, that is interesting. The more north you go, the more likely it is to be something like elephant and wheelbarrow. Right. There you go.

Elephant and wheelbarrow. And also the further south you go, because we've got them in Melbourne. Yes, yes, we do. Maybe it's just irradiates out in both ways because yeah there's like the crown and anchor i think is in bristol which is pretty south yeah i don't know my uk geography enough to know where bristol is i know it's west sorry oh yeah sort of it's it's it's slightly northwest of london but it's not too far away i

should know so like i did i drove from br drove from Bristol to London like four months ago. And you would have as well. I've also been to Bristol, yeah. I could not tell you. I could not remember. Those sort of trips end up being whirlwinds when you're just two weeks driving end to end of the country. The UK is dense.

There's so much. It is dense. But not its inhabitants. Very bright. I'll go out on a limb and I'll say that any day of the week. You would be so bold as to say that the denizens of an entire country are not stupid. No, I'm saying it. I'm saying it and I don't care what you do to me.

I'm just going to stand by that. Bold. Okay, thank you. All right. The answers for question number two are in. Here's the question. What tradition did the fans of Detroit's hockey team, the Red Wings, start in 1952?

Singing and dancing to the chicken dance song when the opposing team enters the rink? They would put a hot wing in a pint of beer and scull it before a game which bit of that repulsed you all of it i don't know if i if i drink chicken if i need to explain it i can't imagine why you would understand sorry what's wrong with that? Is culture a problem for you? Is it the chicken or the beer? Culture is exactly what I'm afraid of.

I don't need culture in my beer. I think you need some culture in there for the fermentation process. Damn it, he's right. I have no idea. There's your first two options. Then you've got calling an ambulance for the opposition team to carry them out of the stadium whenever a player scores a hat trick they put red dye in their beer and chug them or they throw dead octopuses onto the ice rink for good luck to ride on the pig's back so to speak i noticed we've got another tour as well we've got to put them in the beers yeah

you've noticed another pattern i have what are you gonna do with that one kind of our they call me the pattern noticer i feel like there's a thing um is there like it's with ice hockey there's a team that you don't do you throw like a dead fish onto the thing i'm not sure what it means either and you're both looking really like but that's actually a thing so that's why i'm thinking maybe the dead octopus or if it's someone that knows about the dead octopus it's like trying to trick yeah then i guess octopuses notoriously have wings. They do, yes. They do.

Octopuses. Makes sense. A winged creature. If I knew one thing about octopus, it would be they can fly. We don't know what the Detroit Red Wings were called in 1952. Maybe they were the Detroit Octopuses. Octopi? Octopodes?

Octopodes. Octipodies. They could have been any of these. We don't know, and we have no way of finding out. There's literally no information superhighway that we could check. Off the octopus's back, so to speak. Are you thinking that one?

I'm thinking... Do you want me to run through them quickly? I would like that yes chicken dance song chicken beer ambulance called red beer chug or dead octopus I'm thinking it's one of the beers I don't think it's gonna be the chicken wings because I don't know when chicken wings were invented but the 50s feels too early. Chickens have always had wings. No, Matt.

Is that what you're doubting? You're thinking of octopuses. They're the ones with wings. Sorry, yes, of course. Chickens have the eight legs, remember? Oh, yes, that's right. Floppy eggs, floppy legs. Yes, that's the saying. That's the saying. Oh, floppy egg.py legs yeah that's the same that's the same oh floppy egg oh god

i'd rather think about chicken wings in my beer join your egg hard boiled or floppy that's a new word for poached eggs would you like floppy eggs i i think i'm going the curveball i think I'm going the octopus on the field. Okay, geez. You talked your way around a lot. That was a big talk around. That seems too weird. I don't know. Too weird for someone to come up with for a quiz, but not weird enough for a whole crowd of hockey supporters to come up with.

I like where your head's at. The 50s was a different time. Oh, yeah. Anything goes. Yes. I think I like the red dye in the beer. I don't know. If octopuses were like, that would have been hard to come red dye in the beer. I don't know. If octopuses were like, that would have been hard to come by in the 50s.

I don't know. It's nearly going to go that. Yeah, it's Detroit. 50s is like a tricky, I didn't think the chicken dance was like around then. And then having an ambulance. You go to America a little bit. Yeah. Is Chicago, no, what is it?

Detroit. Is Detroit. I've actually, I've only been to the airport in detroit airport airport is that how they said over there yeah yeah keep up i'm going to the airport and you're fanning yourself so you want to go red beer yeah that is so is so funny how you both sounded like you were going the opposite way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you both talked each other into this.

Maybe, maybe. All right, well, here's who wrote the answers. Singing and dancing to the chicken dance song, that was Rebecca, aka The House. Putting a hot wing in a pint of beer in Skyline Before Game, that was Raewyn Pickering. Nearly got you. We did, yes.

Absolutely repulsing, Adam. If it hadn't grossed me out so much, I would have considered a lot more closely. I feel like that's a thing people probably have done. Yeah. Beer and hot wings seem to go hand in hand. That's American culture as far as I know. Hand in hand?

Fine. So long as it's two hands operating the chicken and the beer. Yes, that's fine. Oh, you don't like fusion cuisine? Then we had calling an ambulance for the opposition team. That was Adam Carnavale. That would be a pretty sweet burn. Every time the ambulance gets tricked again, every week they're like,

oh, hang on. This is scary because now it's 50-50 for me. That's right. One of you is correct. The red beer, that was the house. The dead octopuses is correct. What? I thought you had it there, Eowyn.

Me too, but I talked myself out of it because it was like, surely octopuses wouldn't have been popular in the 50s. they get it yeah well I'll tell the story but I'll actually no I won't but I'm pretty I read oh well okay I did read the story didn't make the cut what a tease well no I was gonna read the story I found on an article which I read but then uh Rebecca wrote a bit of a summary of it but she doesn't mention i feel like it maybe it was the um it came from uh like the guy maybe worked at a fish and fishery or whatever was this during the period he would hand out the octopus well or he would just one the first one was just he threw it out yeah just trying to get his business going everyone you need to get the octopus that is such a good ad that is oh my god uh there is a team though that does throw

dead like fish i really can't remember what i mean but yeah they do they throw yeah i know to make a point about something this is for this is to make a point they say as the fish leaves their hands so sorry the practice started on april the 15th 1952 when pete and jerry kusumano brothers and store owners in detroit's eastern market hurled octopus onto the rink at Olympia Stadium. And it was sort of seen as they needed eight wins to sweep. They had two series of best of sevens. So they had to win four and four. The eight symbolized the eight wins they needed. And it's become a tradition since then. Okay.

Yeah, I love that. Oh, so people still do it. Yeah, Pete and Jerry Cusimano. Okay. Yeah, I love that. Oh, so people still do it. Yeah, Pete and Jerry Cusimano. Gross. And they, in one 95 game, fans threw 36 octopuses.

Wow. Including one that weighed 38 pounds or 17 kilos. Jeez. That's a big octopus. That's a really big one. That's huge. Someone's got to clean that up. That's awful.

Yeah. Imagine the smell on a hot day. Well, it's got it on the ice. Yeah, luckily they do have it on the ice. Yeah, that's true. Give it to someone in need afterwards. Yeah, you'd hope. You'd hope he was ever picking up.

Can you imagine? It's like, no, this is actually for the people in need. It's like these weird half-thawed-out octopuses that have been on an ice rink. If you're cleaning it up, surely you let the hockey players have at it a few times first so then it's all chopped up. You've got your calamari ready made.

Yeah. It would be like a theatre experience, like Benihana. They're throwing that American thing. Exactly. Anyway. I'll tell the listeners a bit more about in a second while you're writing your answers for question number three which was sent in from shelly in new zealand and shelly's question is finish and finish this lyric to loretta lynn's 1968 country

chart topping song so this is this is the start of the lyric. You've just got to finish the line. You better move your feet if. You better move your feet if. Finish this line from Loretta Lynn's 1968 country chart-topping song while you're writing your answers. Here's some more info on the legend of the octopus. According to Rebecca,

the NHL has tried to ban this practice multiple times, fining the Zamboni driver for twirling the dead animal above his head and trying to have the Detroit police arrest fans who participate in the tradition, citing safety reasons. However, this does little to discourage fans and the security at the arena are far more encouraging than the league would want them to be. In fact, in the Red Wings final game at the arena are far more encouraging than the league would want them to be. In fact, in the Red Wings final game at the Joe Louis Arena in 2017, 35 octopuses were thrown onto the ice by fans. Apparently, they fully banned the guy. So Zamboni's like that ice machine.

And his tradition was picking it up and swinging it around his head. And the NHL banned him from doing that. But there was backlash and they ended up backing down. And he was allowed to still do it, but only in a certain area. You've got your octagonal swinging corner. They put the cones around. So funny. But yeah, what a wild tradition.

And it's so funny that they're like, can't be stopped like the nhl who run the whole thing like you can't do this and like we're gonna do it anyway and they've been like all right i guess you can but we're not happy about it a great ad for collective action totally wow it looks like the answers are in. And that's because they are. Sometimes looks can be deceiving, but not in this case. Here's question number three. Finish this lyric to Loretta Lynn's 1968 country chart-topping song. You better move your feet so I can vacuum that spot.

You better move your feet, you can't fight that damn hog. You better move your feet so I can see your pretty blue eyes. You better move your feet if you don't want to eat a meal that's called Fist City. Or you don't want to, you better move your feet. You got a hoot scootin' sugar tootin' honey coming on. That was an incredible laugh that was delightful i think i was gonna try to hold it in and i couldn't it snuck out that just feels like that could be the song yeah you know all of those yeah yeah you better move your feet so i can back out the spot. You better move that feet. You can't fight a damn hog.

So you got vacuum the spot, fight the hog so I can see your pretty blue eyes. If you don't want to eat a meal that's called Fist City or you got a hot scoot and sugar toot and honey coming on. Can we break down the meaning behind so I can see those pretty blue eyes yeah move your feet how is that what is the situation where my feet are blocking my face yeah or maybe it means that you better move closer to me. It's like one of those... Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

One of those emojis where, like, the hands are covering the eyes, but it's actually the feet. Take them down. Such a funny emoji or whatever to get at, like, 1 a.m. being like, oh, hands in front of... Wait. Wait a minute. Yeah. I think Adam's going first.

First couple. Do you want to have a first dibs here, Eowyn? Just because I don't know what the Fist City, the dinner Fist City is. How do you spell it? Fist, F-I-S-T. Fist City. It's like a place. Fist City. It's like a place.

Fist City. Oh, like a punch. A meal that's called Fist City. Like a punch to the face. Yeah, yeah. Knuckle sandwich. A knuckle sandwich. I like that. I'd go with that. Go with that one? Yeah. I talk myself into it. What's the Hootscootin' Tootin' whatever? You got a Hootscootin' Sugar Tootin'

honey coming on. I love country western music, and I'd be so sad, because I want to find this song now. I'm going to go with that last one, and if it's not that, I'll be deeply sad. Well, no, that's just an opportunity now to write it. Good point. There's an opening. I'll have to credit whoever, if it isn't the original author,

I'll have to credit whoever wrote it. All right, here's who wrote the original author, I'll have to credit whoever wrote it. All right, here's who wrote the answers. So I can vacuum that spot. That was the house. I'm like, 1950s, you know? You can't fight that damn hog. That was Adam Carnivala.

You better move your feet. You can't fight that damn hog. So she's like, she's pleading to someone, please. You better move your feet so I can see your pretty blue eyes. That was also the house. Oh, yeah. I also thought I'm like, I'm looking forward. I was like, look forward to seeing what they make of this. I was like, dang it.

Then we've got, you got a scootin' sugar tootin' Honey coming on That was Ray when Pickering I think we just Corona-songed I think we did Downside, I lost Upside, we're releasing the song of the summer So that means the correct answer is

If you don't want to eat a meal that's called Fist City From the's called Fist City. Yes. It's from the song called Fist City. So that's two points for Raywin that round. Nice. That changes things immensely. Going into round four, we've got the house on one point,

Raywin on two points, but out in front on three points, it's Adam Cannavale. It's so close, though. So out in front. All right. I'll tell the listeners more lyrics after I ask you this question, which comes from Nick Thompson from England. And Nick's question is,

What did Sir Michael Caine tweet on the 17th of May, 2012? What did Sir Michael Caine tweet on the 17th of May 2012. What did Sir Michael Caine tweet on the 17th of May 2012? And yeah, here's some of the lyrics from Fist City. I haven't listened. I really should have listened to it. I'll just talk it out how I think it should be said. You've been making your brags around town that you've been loving my man. But the man I love when he

picks up trash he puts it in a garbage can and that's what you look like to me and what I see is a pity you better close your face and stay out of my way if you don't want to go to fist city if you don't want to go to fist city you better detour around my town because i'll grab you by the hair on your head and lift you off the ground i'm not saying my baby's a saint because he ain't and that he won't cat around with a kitty i'm here to tell you my gal to lay off my man if you don't want to go to fist city come on and tell me what you told my friends. If you think you're brave enough. And I'll show you what a real woman is. Since you think you're hot stuff.

You'll bite off more than you can chew. If you get too cute or witty. You better move your feet. If you don't want to eat a meal that's called Fist City. If you don't want to go to Fist City. You better detour around my town. Because I'll grab you by the hair on your head and I'll lift you off the ground. I'm not saying my baby's a saint because he ain't

and that he won't cat around with a kitty. I'm here to tell you, gal, to lay off my man if you don't want to go to Fist City. Repeat. A beautiful song. It is great. And while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. All right, we're back. and here is question number four what did sir michael kane tweet on the 17th of may 2012 just read another story about me being locked in an attic completely false uh he wrote his address thinking he was using google maps

uh he wrote if I was an animal, I'd be a goldfish. Swimming around all day, people feeding you? Imagine that! A century a cent... A century since the unsinkable s... It's not a tongue twister, but it's...

I'm reading it as if it's as hard as one. A century since the unsinkable ship sunk. That is a bit of a tongue twister, but I'm reading it as if it's as hard as one. A century since the unsinkable ship sunk. That is a bit of a tongue twister. A century... Do you want me to read it out? Here's your fourth option. A century since the unsinkable ship sunk. Glad to live in the here and now.

Or... I don't sound like how you all make me sound. So you got the false story him pleading it's a false story that he's locked in the attic he put in his address accidentally

he wants to be a goldfish he's glad to live in the now not in the Titanic and he's offended by how people impersonate him

the impersonation the offense towards impersonations is very funny to me And he's offended by how people impersonate him. The impersonation, the offense towards impersonations is very funny to me. Yeah. It's deeply, as a, I would say a Michael Caine imitator, a connoisseur. Oh. I would say. Well, can you say, I don't sound like how you all make me sound in Michael Caine's voice? Hang on.

Wait. I think there's like, Isn't it... All right. Hang on. I need to get into the character. Okay. Tangerine. Master Bruce. Tangerine.

I don't sound like that. That's not even close. Oh, no. That is so not even close. Now, remember, a connoisseur enjoys other people. Yes. Oh, God. It was such funny, like,

leading words as well. Tangerine. Tangerine. Don't usually people do, like, I'm Michael Caine. Michael Caine. Michael Caine. Yeah, I only meant to blow the bloody doors off.

That's not the voice at all. It is. No, that's kind of close Tangerine Apparently tangerine's a good way to get in But also if you say my cocaine As his name That's also how he says it

My cocaine My cocaine And I like tangerines Really wish Ben Russell was here today I feel like is there an option and I like tangerines. Really wish Ben Russell was here today. Yeah. I feel like, is there an option that is all of them are tweets that he's made? He had a prolific day on the Twitters. On the Twitters.

What are you thinking, Raven? I'm thinking, I quite like the Attic one. I like that he's just read that, felt the need to debunk it immediately. As well, he just read another story. Yeah, yeah. Like like things are getting out of hand he's like i swear i gotta i gotta let you know stop writing about this it's not true i don't know what's going on where did this come from conclusively deny i've never been in an attic i'm ground level okay um yeah i, I like that. I like that idea. Addicts spelt with a K as well, which I think... Oh, interesting. Is that how the English spell it?

I have no idea. What are you thinking, Adam Cannavale? Every single one that you read out, I was like, oh, when you first said this, I was like, I think I know this actually. But then you said the first one. I was like, oh, that's it. Then you said the second one.

I was like, oh, that's it. And I'm not even kidding. Until the last one, I was like, oh, that's it. Then you said the second one. I was like, oh, that's it. And I'm not even kidding. Until the last one, I was like, actually, no, I think I remember. That was the one, right? So, yeah, I honestly am still so up in the air. I think, can you give me the list again? Yes. You want me to read them in full?

Yes, please. Just read another story. I really wish Ben Russell was here or Michael Caine they can do a pretty good one as well not as good as Ben Russell just read another story about me being locked in an attic

completely false he wrote his address thinking he was using Google Maps well if I was an animal if I was an animal I'd be a goldfish swimming around all day that's that's pretty good people feeding you imagine that yeah i'd love that yeah a century since the unsinkable ship sunk glad to

live in the here and the now you said that perfectly that time well done thank you it's a lot of concentration i just had another sip of orange and coffee. Or, oh, Santa, what are you all about? Santa doesn't sound like that. Somehow we started with your awful impersonation and it got worse from there. It's spreading. It's spreading. I think I'm going to go with the Titanic

because he's an old man and old men are obsessed with old things. If it's not the Titanic, it's World War II. Yeah, it's one or the other. Norman D. Here's who wrote the answers. I don't sound like how you all make me sound. That was the house.

As was the goldfish one. Nick wrote that. Okay, the house. Writing his address and he was using Google Maps. That was Adam goldfish one. Nick wrote that. Okay, the house. Writing his address. I think he was using Google Maps. That was Adam Cannavale. A century since the unsinkable ship sunk. That was Raewyn. God damn it.

And Raewyn got the correct one. Just read another story about me being locked in an attic. Completely false. So back to back. Wow. Double points. Has anyone done that? I don't think so. Not Wow. Double points. Has anyone done that? I don't think so.

Not today. Not today. Not on my watch. No. Can I go three? Yeah, you've jumped in the lead there. Quick score update. House on one.

Adam on three. Raewyn out in front on four. Sucker. Still, truly anyone's game. Here's question number five. Comes from William Northcote from Mount Gambier in South Australia. And the question is, what is Fremartin syndrome? What is Fremartin syndrome?

While you're writing your answers, here's some more info about the attic incident. According to Fox News, British star Michael Caine spent the night trapped in an attic dressing room while filming in New Orleans. So Fox News went with it as if it was a real story. The actor reportedly fell asleep while taking a break from filming a crime caper called Now You See Me. His dressing room was in the attic of an old disused theater. Staff thought he had left and locked up for the night, leaving the star in the dark without his mobile phone.

He was not discovered until the next morning when a carpenter turned up for the night, leaving the star in the dark without his mobile phone. He was not discovered until the next morning, when a carpenter turned up for work. Kane, 79, reportedly was not in the best of moods, although grateful for being found. It had been a long day of filming, and Michael decided to slip upstairs to a makeshift dressing area and catch 40 Winks, a production source told British newspaper The Daily Mirror. Unfortunately, he was asleep for some time and failed to hear directors calling a rap production all assumed he was safely outside in his trailer and therefore locked up for the night the source added his mobile phone was in his trailer and there was no electricity in the attic meaning he couldn't see a thing it was pitch black michael started shouting for help but no one could hear him amazing that he's like this didn't happen

how much detail yeah the news is you reading that going like this is just purely fictional what if what are you doing um and yeah he he tweeted a bunch about it that day so um Nick Thompson who wrote the question also sent me through some of his other tweets. He wrote, This is Michael Caine, tweeted this all on the same day. Everyone who's published this story has been tricked. It's completely untrue. Another tweet. Do not know where this story came from.

Another, Do not believe everything you read. And then, finally, our favorite. Just read another story about me being locked in attic. Completely false. Methinks the man doth protest too much. favorite just read another story about me being locked in attic completely false me thinks the man doth protest too much yeah i'll just imagine like it's funny because you'd be like i mean it doesn't matter that's not the kind of story that it would be frustrating when you're like you're 79 you're like people are starting to treat you you know a bit patronizingly or whatever yeah and

you'd be like i'm not i'm not some old fool who's just got locked in an attic okay yeah i don't know this is a made-up thing so i can understand why that would be frustrating um set the record straight and it's the funny thing as well like so fox is just quoting another article who's quoting some anonymous source so you're like it can see how it like it's like, how are all these articles being written? It's all just from this one source who could have been, you know, it could have been Chaz Lichardello or something, you know, from pranking from the Chaser or America's version of that or England's version of that.

The Chaser US. Yeah, the Chaser US yeah the chaser US or the chaser UK alright the answer in for question number 5 which is

what is free Martin syndrome the psychosomatic belief that Martin Freeman is actually the character he plays in any given show or movie when you can't stop thinking someone is holding you captive.

When a supporter cares more about the sporting team they follow than the players and coaching staff do. An illness where the inflicted believes Martin Scorsese is trapped in his movies and needs to be rescued. Or a condition that causes infertility in the female cattle born twin to a male a lot of funny options and then the last oh how delightful people think that an actor is trapped in their movie oh no i should say um Adam, you're at a disadvantage here

because you don't know that Raewyn works on a farm. Oh, no. So maybe you should go first. And we've already had pigs and cows and sheep. And that's no coincidence. All I'm saying is it's not necessarily a coincidence. I keep bringing it up. You've stacked the deck against me since the

beginning this is an attack oh no this is as lucky as uh rolling off an infertile cow's back uh so yeah you got martin freeman uh believing that he's his characters you got like like martin freeman's from the office yeah the office and um yeah love actually oh yeah wasn't he like yeah he had that sex scene um you know the weird like the port the yeah he played the actor the weird porn scene and he was like cupping her breast like is this okay oh yeah that rings a bell he was also pretty funny okay okay i'm not sure if it was my rendition, but it was pretty funny. It was in the Guardians of the Galaxy. Was it?

Oh, yeah, that's right. No, not the Guardians of the Galaxy. It's in Black Panther. Oh, Black Panther, great. Yeah, he plays the... That's not what I was saying, but sure. I was saying that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Similar universe.

Oh, yes. The Hitchhiker's Guardians of the Galaxy. He plays the titular hitchhiker. Right. So, yeah, you've got that one. You've got believing you're always being held captive. The idea that you're a supporter who cares more about your team than the players and coaching staff do.

Believing that Martin Scorsese is trapped in his movies or the infertile twin cow. Held captive both is simultaneously a very apt answer for Freeman syndrome, but also it's the type of lie that would be portrayed on this show, which I guess is the point of this show. You are good. You found another pattern.

I'm going to go with the sports team that the fans care more than the coach. Yeah, because I think that one's far enough away. I reckon Freeman is the name of the coach or whatever that this is named after, I reckon. Love it. All right. That leaves you raywin i am gonna lock in the infertile kettle god damn it i'm so sorry i do know what a free martin is god damn it i should tell the listeners i wrote this quiz before i booked the guests

and when i just saw it just started sweating as i read back through it before we started recording like it's too late to change it but there is some chance ray wouldn't know the answer that's why and before we started recording i said if you do know the answers luckily the next question is about D&D. All right, let's go through quickly who wrote the answers. Psychosomatic belief that Martin Freeman is actually the character he plays in any given show or movie. That was Adam Cannavale. When you can't stop thinking someone is holding you captive. That was Rae Wynn Pickering.

When a supporter cares more about the supporting team they follow than the players or coaching staff do. That was The House. I feel like that sometimes about teams I follow uh so a point for the house there an illness where the inflicted believes martin scorsese is trapped in his movies and needs to be rescued that was also the house and the correct answer was a condition that causes infertility in the female cattle born twin to a male uh i have a feeling that maybe is it Mount Gambier? Is that sort of dairy farm territory?

I'm just wondering if William Northcote who wrote the question is involved in the scene or how else he would have come across that tidbit. Yeah. Just curious about cow diseases. It could be a thing. That's actually a spin-off podcast

I'm thinking about. Curious about cow disease yeah every episode we're here furiously you will not have me on matt i remember i was there in the meeting i was saying we should drop the disease curious about cow more alliteration sounds better i actually i like that it'll be a more positive one and i do freaking love cows yeah That's something you should know about me. I don't know if listeners know that, but I freaking love cows. Belgian Blues, Herefords. I'm into them all.

Go on. Jersey. Jersey. One more. Oh, yeah. Jersey. Jersey, Guernsey. Yeah.

Highland. Oh, the Highland Coos. So cute. I love the Highland Coos. They are very cute. What about the, you've got the Angus, of course. Oh, yes. Black Angus.

Wagyu. Wagyu. Wagyu. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Beautiful beef cows, both of them. What about the, is it Blackface Baldies or the Black Baldies? I think that's another.

Is it? Yeah. Okay. I know probably a bit more about them than you. Black Baldies? I don't know. I mean, there might be. There's a few.

There's a lot of breeds out there. I have not heard of that one. Yeah, Black Baldie is a cattle breed. What are they used for? Beef, probably. Or just pets. Crossbred beef cattle. Traditionally produced by crossing Hereford bulls with Aberdeen Angus

cows. There you go. I love it. Okay, great. I knew Fremantle because it's like a well-known thing. So cows often only have one calf

at a time, but when they have twins usually the females always you call them a freeman so they're sterile yeah like a high fertile sorry you should say yeah like high 90 percent of them are yeah because they share characteristics with each other yeah um but i'll tell i'll uh talk a bit more about that based on a cattle website i found no uh while you're writing your answers to question number six which comes from travis corbell from montclair and new jersey joys joys is that i believe montclair new jersey uh and the question is what uh why did australian Gordon Wilson make the news in 1995?

Why did Australian man Neil Gordon Wilson make the news in 1995? Love that this question's coming from New Jersey. While you're writing those answers, let me tell you more about Fremartin syndrome. According to the cattle site, this condition causes infertility in the female cattle born twin to a male. When a heifer twin shares the uterus with a bull fetus, they also share the placental membranes connecting the fetuses with the dam. Adjoining of the placental membranes occurs at about the 40th day of pregnancy and thereafter,

the fluids of the two fetuses are mixed. This causes exchange of blood and antigens, carrying characteristics that are unique to each heifers and bulls when these antigens mix they affect each other in a way that causes each to develop with some characteristics of the other sex although the male twin in this case is only affected by reduced fertility in over 90 percent of cases the female twin is completely infertile you in your festival show this year right when you you had a few fun facts like was it actually in there was a point in the show where you asked people to name a breed of cow and you give them a fact about it is that right um just any kind of livestock right yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Can you give a fact about Belgian Blue?

Belgian Blue? No. Because you didn't. I don't really dealt much with Belgian Blue. I know a bit about dairy cows. Yes. You talk about how many litres. Holstein, Frisian.

Exactly. They make 40 litres of milk in a day. Oh. Yeah, it's a lot. That's so much more milk than I can make. Much more edible. I'm lucky if i can fill a cup yeah um but yeah no i don't know much about belgian blues i think i just like the name and yeah like a lot of animals where they're called blues. They're more gray than, you know.

Yeah. I think they're from Bluesville, Kentucky. Belgium, Kentucky. Yeah. There's a Belgian blue. Have a look at that. Oh, yeah. What a beautiful beast. I just, I love chunky animals.

Yeah. Yeah. That's why wombats are the favourites. But bovine are right up there. I love North American bison. Anything chunky. Bison. Bison, yeah.

Anyhow, it's just big, thick animals. The answers are in for question number six. Why did Australian man Neil Gordon Wilson make the news in 1995? As a circus strongman famous for having cannonballs shot into his stomach, a news crew filmed his thousandth shot, but he was injured badly after the assistant used way too much gunpowder. He was the first member of the public to buy a pair of Air Jordans. He was pushed from Perth to Melbourne in a wheelie bin for charity.

That rules. He stopped a runaway train by parking his truck in its path. Or he died while wearing a full body fish man suit made from an old vinyl water bed while attempting to take it for a swim. So you've got

Sega Strongman. You've got First to Buy Air Jordans. Crossed Australia in a wheelie bin for charity. Stopped a runaway train using his truck. Or died trying to be a fish man. Fish man

immediately jumped out at me. Which is terrifying. I hate the idea of a fish immediately jumps out at me, which is terrifying. I hate the idea of a fishman jumping out at me. It's so wet. Slippery. Can't get a hold of him. I'm trying to bonk him on the head. You're trying to bonk a fishman? Slipping out of your hands.

I like the wheelie bin as well. I think fish man and wheelie bin, they're my front runners right now. I'm liking them. Do you want to make a call? Do you want to give Ray one a crack here? What do you want to do? Yeah, please. Well, yeah.

I like the fish man. Yeah. Why don't you marry him it just sounds hard again it's like I kind of hope I like the fish man I'm sorry but I don't apologize I wonder if there's photos

no I think Willie Bean just sounds because it's a guy from New Jersey. Yeah. So I don't know about that. I don't know about that. Yeah.

Do they not have wheelie bins? Yeah, but why would, why would this New Jersey guy write about? Why would that make news over there? Yes. Yep. Um, a wheelie bin. And there was another one that I was going to debunk. Stopped a runaway train by parking his truck in his park.

Yeah, I was going to debunk that because I've seen lots of fails where the cars go in front of the train. The train keeps going. Yes. It is not stopping. But it's a truck. So I don't think that's true. You said cars, and you've said you've seen a lot of failures,

but did you see one in 1995 driven by Neil Gordon Wilson? As in we would say a truck or as in Americans would say truck. Oh, yeah. Because a truck for them is just a ute. So that's what I was thinking. In my head, I'm picturing a truck. Yeah, like a semi-trailer or whatever. Maybe even a road train.

Whoa. Road train versus track train. B-dub. I did not know that's a uniquely australian thing road trains is it yeah it's we're really like the especially going up to apparently they get as far as nine cars or whatever we're like the only place in the world that does that why uh because our train network is not good oh so everyone oh yeah it's much easier to do trucks. That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, so hence why I, or the Air Jordans, 95. Would they be famous?

Hmm. I like the fish men. I like the fish men. You do. I keep hearing it. I can't. I can't get away from it. We've got a listener on this show named Nathan Damon

who listens to this driving his road train. Oh. And his road train is so big that it's not road legal in Australia. What? He drives it on, like, private mining company. It's got 98 wheels. It's a 98-wheeler. Jesus.

Hard to comprehend. Why not give it 400? At that point, just go 100. Why not? Wow. When there's so many wheels. Maybe a tax reason. Oh, yeah.

Yes. Yes. Trucks with over 100 wheels. That count as a different thing. When there's so many, you wouldn't even like, I wonder if, or would you like even notice if you had a flat tire? Yeah. I guess you must be able to take a few. Yeah.

Imagine if any one of them pops and you're like, God. Call RACV. You can't fix it yourself. Look, I used all my brain to figure out how to drive this fucking thing. It's huge. You winch it up. Fuck. Circa Strongman, Air Jordans, Wheelie Bin, Runaway Train, or Fishman?

I'm going to go Wheelie Bin. We're going to go Wheelie Bin just to be different. From even yourself. Yeah. No, Wheelie Bin I was considering. You were? Yeah. really been really been just to be different from even yourself yeah no really bit I was considering you were yeah oh did you lock in fish man yeah I'm going Willie been just because then there's at least kiss if I went fish man as well there's no chance I could win but at least this way maybe I can tie you've got to remember though the final rounds with triple points that might be

new since you're on last, actually. Yes. So it's still truly anyone's game. Okay. Alright, here's who wrote the answers. Circus Strongman, who took his thousandth shot with too much gunpowder. That was Travis AK of the House.

First member of the public to buy a pair of Air Jordans. That was Rowan Pickering. Oh, thank God I missed your one at least. I was trying to like, I know you didn't say mine. I was trying to lead you astray. Like, oh, maybe Air Jordans. If anyone happened to remember that answer. What an honour for an Australian.

Let's like put it in. Stopped. Yeah, well, you might feel less bad in a second because you were pretty brutal to Adam's answer about stopping a runaway train by parking his truck in the park. I tried to name... I wanted to type in, like, a road train thing, but I don't know what the carriage thing is,

the individual sections. I don't know what they're called, so I couldn't figure out. I just had to say truck instead. And then I had to hope that you might think that. I brutally eviscerated it. You heard truck in brackets, not American style truck, talking about like proper Australian trucks.

If you've seen a lot of fail videos. Over there they call them like big rigs or something like that. Yeah, yeah. Is that what they call them? Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I just agreed. I think when this episode comes out, I'm in America. So I'll call you. agreed. I think when this episode comes out, I'm in America. So I'll call you.

Yeah. I was. Hey, what do you call those things there? Well, if people could. Just ask people on the street. Yeah. Tweet us if you're listening and you know, and that'll save me from doing that.

Yeah. I was similarly trying to lead. I'm not talking to anyone. I was similarly trying to lead you astray with the like, no, no, no, with the truck. I was like, oh, they can get quite big. You know, you can get up to nine of them. I was like, okay, yeah, that's true. Then he pushed from Melbourne,

perked to Melbourne in a wheelie bin for charity. That was the house. Sorry, Adam. That damn house. I knew, I knew. You were right. It was written house, sorry, Adam. That damn house. I knew, I knew. You were right. It was written by an Australian. That's a fish.

It means it is. A man died trying to swim in a fish man suit he made by himself. In a vinyl pool. So. Do you have a photo? I don't think so. But Travis, he came across it because it was listed in the Darwin Awards in 1995, which is like the awards for dying in silly ways.

I used to read those. Me too. Yeah, they're funny. Phil's too grim now. Yeah. Now that I'm old enough, the death is real. The death is just hanging over my shoulder. Each dumb thing.

Okay, so that means One point to Rae Better hang up that fish suit I have to learn about free man syndrome I can't look at death with a smile on my face It's not a free man Oh yeah did we change what it was called Halfway through No

And you'll be shocked to hear this I'm just a big dumb boy Did we change what it was called halfway through? No. No. You just, oh, no, there was just one answer. It was Freeman. And you'll be shocked to hear this. I'm just a big dumb boy. You see the patterns, but they're not lining up. Big dumb boys, that's right up there. Wombats, Highland Coos, big dumb boys. Chunky boys right next to big dumb boys.

To be a Highland Coo. Highland Coo boy. All right. So going into the final round still anyone's game adam the house both on three points but out in front on six points it's rayward but yes final round with triple points so still anyone's game although lately i've been the house can't get triple points because i had one i had one wind coming from the clouds and I'm like that didn't feel right so here is the final question we always finish with a movie synopsis answer so you normally write 3, 4, 5

sentences something like that and this comes from Tom Rourke from London town and the question is what is the synopsis of the 2014 film Australians what is the synopsis of the 2014 film australians what is the synopsis of the 2014 film australians and it's australians spelt a u s t r a l i e n s which i n s yeah which uh could be for various different reasons, but I'll let you choose while you're writing your answers.

Let me tell you a bit more about this unusual death. According to Travis, it was featured on the Spike TV show A Thousand Ways to Die under the episode title Wet Dream. According to the full quid, quote, nobody knows why Neil Gordon Wilson liked to pretend to be a fish. According to the Full Quid, say remains one of the most baffling. It has also become a case study of the life of an eccentric personality in a small country town and the ability of its residents to show sympathy and understanding of his plight. The coroner, Mr. Graham Johnson, has now officially closed the file without getting close to finding why Mr. Wilson chose to hop about in a vinyl fish suit

in a deserted paddock near his home. Police believe he spent at least four years developing prototypes of fish suits before he finally died wearing one. He photographed himself in an early version on the banks of the local lake a year before his death. According to the Darwin Awards, local law enforcement officials said the 49-year-old man was wearing a heavy green plastic bodysuit constructed from old waterbed material. The suit, from which one could only be extricated painstakingly after unfastening a full-length zipper along the spine, constricted his legs into one mermaid-esque tail. The only openings aside from the zipper were two eye holes. Man, it just sounds like it was designed to to suffocate you

really uh neil's garb enclosing his entire body like a maritime mummy costume restricted his breathing as well as his movement he was discovered he was discovered in his attire this attire which the melbourne fish costume bureau stresses was not approved i don't know is that a joke uh less there's no melbourne fish costume bureaus there this is the darwin awards do uh fun stuff like that make up bureaus um yeah apparently he was trying to swim home a second yellow colored suit was found in his garage the psychological motivation for neil's fatal excursion remains unclear police have learned that he was taking medications for epilepsy and diabetes at

the time and speculate that his behavior may have been uh due to a chemical base due to may have had a chemical basis but locals have their own theories about the aquatic aberration uh one unnamed resident said simply he just wanted to be a fish beautiful yeah i guess he is died doing what he loved all right the answers are in final question triple points up for grabs truly still anyone's game i'm gonna get three what is the synopsis of the 2014 film australians this movie follows weaker throntbo and his family, aliens from Alpha Centauri, as they arrive in Sydney, Australia. To blend in, Zwicker

and his family pretend to be Italian immigrants with minimal costuming to conceal their true nature. While settling into suburban life, they must contend with a nosy neighbour who suspects but cannot prove that they are aliens. That's option one. Then you've got Australians have a long and proud history

of starring in Hollywood productions. This documentary, fronted by Hugh Jackman, as he searches for the answer to the question, from Errol Flynn to Margot Robbie, why do Australians make pretty good actors? Featuring Guy Pearce and Noni Hazlehurst, this haunting sci-fi thriller

is set against the beautiful backdrop of Alice Springs. Barb, played by Hazelhurst, goes to work as a medical receptionist every day, pining for retirement. One night, she sees a flash through her bedroom window, and she is thrown into the world of Viggo, played by Pierce, who is an alien excommunicated for his ideas of democracy

instead of total annihilation of the human race. When they join forces, they have to fight for truth and find out what's important in life. Then you've got Andy Gibson had a close encounter with a flying saucer when she was 10 years old, but no one believed her. That all changes 17 years later when aliens launch

a nationwide assault on Australia, much to the bafflement of the rest of the world. Can Andy, her hypochondriac brother Elliot, retired boxer cousin Keith, and documentary filmmaker friend Cam save the country? Or, in the heart of the Australian outback, a quirky group of marsupials, including a koala, kangaroo and wombat,

have had enough of their mundane lives. They decide it's time for a grand adventure, and the gang set off to see what the world beyond the bush has to offer and find out a little bit more about themselves along the way. All right, just a quick rundown. You've got the aliens who are pretending to be Italian immigrants but their nosy neighbours are onto them. You've got the documentary about why Australians make

pretty good actors you've got Guy Pearson only Hazelhurst in Alice Springs being the alien who loves democracy and then you've got the girl who sees an alien but no one believes her then seven

years later her and her ragtag gang have to save the country or you've got the marsupial group who want to find out what's what life is beyond the bush one of these is real none of them sound believable at all like surely not the um like surely not the um the one where it's like aliens invade australia i feel like 2014 film when did cloverfield come out because that i feel like could be riding on the coattails or trying to of cloverfield it's the cloverfield of australia the cloverfield came out six years earlier Probably Movie productions take a bit of time Maybe a little bit too long But also strangely

For a small art house movie Also kind of maybe Takes a while for movies to get down here Yeah exactly I've got to send them by a ship Can't wait to Are you all excited for Fast Five next week? Yeah.

Yeah, it's weird how old the cars are in those movies. I don't think it could get crazier than this. So, you're leaning towards that one? Actually, I feel like the documentary is the odd one out. It kind of intrigues me. Okay. Yeah, but then that ending where it's like, wow, they could be pretty good actors.

It's like... That's what made me think. It's like, yeah, that's like the classic tall puppy. Oh, we're not great. We're pretty good, you know not amazing i'm hugh jackman and i'm here to answer the question from errol flynn to margot robbie why do australians make pretty good actors yeah much better than a michael caine yeah you know a pretty good australian accent not super convincing you know real austral Australians, they can hear how it's fake.

That first one about the Italian immigrants feels so much like someone's, like they're graduating from art school or whatever. Yeah, and it sounds kind of racist. It was like, with barely any makeup. What are they implying? Like, Italians look like aliens? Oh, the way I heard it, like what are they implying like it's italians look like aliens oh the way i like oh they could easily come across as someone who's uh quarter swiss italian i read i didn't read a lot of that i read it like um it was comically underdone so it was

you're like they're oh okay the aliens are hiding there yeah it's not like they've got two heads and people like well the italians yeah with their long tails and their blue claws yeah my dad he's italian and he does have two heads yeah it's pretty normal yeah but one of them's infertile yeah yes well of course yeah yeah luck rolls right off his back all italians have the fertile head and the infertile head that's normal sometimes your mom gets confused this is the wrong one it's a nightmare uh so where are we close to locking anything in um any like literally none of them sound real it's so strange but i guess that one with the the ragtag crew of like the documentary cousin filmmaker brother like cover brother cousin the hypochondriac i'll lock in that one don't forget the retired boxer the retired boxer yeah they locked that in for 10 years later i'm i'm gonna go with the the actual

documentary okay i reckon yeah looking that in outside horse is that the expression do not know inside pig outside horse oh dear house is an outside horse we don't we don't let it we don't let it sleep inside

have you seen that video of the cow that loves being inside the house or it's no it's a bison oh my god

chunky boy I want it I want an inside bison it's this guy. He's coming home, and his front door is absolutely demolished. It's on the ground. He's like, Clyde, Clyde, Clyde.

And he goes inside, and there's just a bison in Clyde's house. Clyde's inside. He's like, you're not allowed in here, Clyde. You know that. Clyde's inside. That would be the 90s sitcom version of it. Oh, Clyde's inside, that would be the 90s sitcom version of it. Oh, Clyde. All right, well, should we go through who wrote the answers?

The one that Raewyn thought was racist against Italian was written by the Italian-Australian man Adam Carnevale. Both my parents are Italian. I'm allowed to say it. Okay. That's classic Raewyn being offended on someone else's behalf. Write in if you don't think that was right. You can hit me up at Jackson Bailey underscore Sandspan's Radio.

That is my, that's my, okay, yeah. We had the Australian Outback Marsupials looking for more fun in their lives. That was The House. Then we had Guy Pearce and Noni Hazlehurst. I mean, get this. What a combination. If you've got them attached to this script, it's getting greenlit. Let's be honest.

That was written by Raewyn Pickering. Greenlit in my mind and in my heart. The documentary fronted by hugh jackman that was written by the house i mean the correct answer was i got it the ragtag crew yes andy her hypochondriac brother elliot retired boxer cousin keith and documentary filmmaker cam saved the country or tried to so that means uh there's a point to the house there three points to raywin i'll add up the scores here but while we're doing that who do you think won i can tell you it's a runaway horse to be fair i might have given it to the house with my mistake there

yeah the outside horse oh my house doesn't get double points. No, yeah. I won then. You mean like, yeah. No need to count the points. I think, what was the first one that we went with? That's probably the most accurate. The earliest point total? What was it? Me three. You two.

Everyone has none. I think that might be the most accurate one, yeah. When you say outside horse, you mean like long odds or whatever? Yeah. Outside chance. Isn't it? I have no idea. I thought outside horse was an expression.

It might be. I like it. I think it's very fun. Sorry, is it an inside horse or an outside horse? That's a lot of fun. Anyway, this movie, on Rotten Tomatoes, it gives it an audience score percentage and a critics one. A lot of the movies I feature on this show haven't had enough critical reviews

to give it some score, and this one doesn't either. But the audience gave it 43%. A review by Jim on IMDb reads, Okay, I have to say it. This movie has got to be one of the dumbest, strangest, weirdest flicks out there. That said, it's also a lot of fun. The effects are cheesy, as cheesy as it gets, but they fit the movie perfectly. Everything is totally over the top.

It's really good at being a bad movie. Or is it really bad at being a good movie? I'm not sure. But yeah, it sounds like it leans into it being a good movie i'm not sure oh but yeah it sounds like it's uh it leans into it you know being a b okay film and it was so it's not trying to take itself too seriously i don't think so but i think i read that is yeah well i mean it's an australian film that we haven't heard of you know we don't make that many um and if they have any success, we normally, you know, hear a lot about it. Yeah.

It's good stuff. It's just nice hanging out with Adam in his fantastical world. And Raewyn, how about you? Is it a monthly or fortnightly room at Deathbed? It's monthly. Let's say monthly. It the first wednesday of every month um in the lead up to comedy festival we hope we did do fortnightly because um a lot of people want to um test out new gear we have a bunch of bunch of exciting people um and it's at a great bar as

well it is a great bar miss moses yeah it's a craft that yeah Miss Moses down in Brunswick. Oh, I have loved that. I love Miss Moses. It's a craft beer bar and they do good food and you can order your food up to the room. It's a real fun, it's a very intimate room. I think it's only, what, 60 seater or something? Less, 40. 40 seater. So it's a very fun, intimate room. Yeah, and we make people like the little tag thing

is that we make everyone tell a secret. So I've heard some of your secrets, Matt. Yes. They are awful. One of the ones. Like legitimately. Yeah, one of the ones I told her really. You were saying at the start of your set and one night I just,

I did not recover from that secret. I've never told anyone. My family and friends don't know that, but that room of 40 people will carry it with them forever. Carry it to their graves. We still have support groups. In my head, normally when I've done the room, the secret, I think in my head, I'm like, I could turn this into a bit.

It's a little easy tester. And that one, I'm like, oh, no. I'm misjudging. People are like, we want to know less about that, not more. No, so, yeah, follow Miss Moses Comedy. like we want to know less about that not more um um no so yeah follow um yeah miss moses comedy and also um just me it's raywin's pics um on instagram yes and you do a lot of farm related photos and stuff on there yeah no belgian blues but maybe one day we can live. I've never met one. If you meet one, send it your way.

That's funny. I've got a lot of them in my head because whenever we're, as kids driving around the country, Dad would point them out and Paddy's like, oh, that looks like some Frisians over there. And we also have, we used to go stay at our friend's dairy farm.

But anyway, thanks so much for joining us. It's been a lot of fun. At least to do. I don't know if this will be fun to listen to. I think about everything. Yeah. As long as we had fun. Yeah.

For the listeners, please give us a five-star review if you want to. I've been getting a few of them lately and I've been reading them and just feeling good. And now I'm addicted to it. And if they start drying up, I don't know. What do you do? I'm chasing that high. Yeah. Do you have another one to read out now? I haven't read any of them out on the show.

I just read them privately. Okay. Do you think I should read them out on the show? Under the covers? Yeah, yeah. I pull the covers up and I get a short chat. I don't want anyone else to know about it. That's between you and no one.

That's not going out in the secret. Yeah, it was actually the secret everyone felt really embarrassed about. And if you think you might know anyone who likes to hear about quirky cow facts and other such things on a show like this, please tell them. You know, maybe get your dad involved. Does he like pointing out cows as you drive along? He might love this show. Who doesn't?

Thanks so much for tuning in to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart. Now that you know it, I've been Matt Stewart. Goodbye. Yes, any questions? It's been a while since you've both been on. You sort of vaguely remember the idea. Ask a question. You Facebook message me an answer.

Funny, believable, some combination of the two. Yes, that's right. We message you back and then you give our results and the real one. And I've also got a couple of fake ones that me and the listeners wrote. Okay. Oh, that's good. Sorry, Raven. So milky.

Chase that with the juice as a cap. And a gummy. Water and gummies. I've got my water here too. Okay. I always go for three. Three drinks. My word.

One for hydration. One for energy. One one for orange one for acid one for curdling yeah i'm not alone in this i'm sure other people have said they they don't think it's that weird which is you know kind of damning by faint praise i guess it it's that weird. Which is, you know, kind of damning by faint praise, I guess. It's not that weird. When you have to get so defensive about it. What do you mean? I'm not even defensive.

Just because it's a very normal combination of liquids to have. I don't think they taste nice mixed together. Yeah, that is very crinkly, that sound. Why don't you just pour them out on the table so you can eat them? Then I'll be eating it. We'll back off when you're eating it. Don't lean into the microphone. No, I will.

You haven't leaned into the microphone at any point until now. If Connor could isolate that, please. Enhance. Enhance. As the laugh track's dying out, just have that slowly in the background. That will be awful for some listeners. Mwyn na mwyca.

Is that right? Is that right? I think you are, yeah. I think you're right and I think I'm happy with that. Is Raewyn Pickering Irish? No. Pickering is English. Yes.

And Raymond is Welsh. Welsh. Wrong on both counts. Well, no, I think if you combine those two together, you get Irish. And actually, my lineage is like, because we did like the ancestry thing. I'm from like the parents are from like the peasant hills in Scotland, like the highlands in Scotland. And Isle of Skye.

So nearly everything but Ireland. Apologies. Is peasant hills the name of it or is it a type of hill? Well, I think we were the peasants. I'm not sure how they can tell that through DNA, but they were very specific in that we were peasants. we analyzed your dna there's no king in this whatsoever yeah absolutely no gold in your lineage um no just apparently like the like the small villages that were mostly made up from yeah you imagine it yeah it got the name from the, yeah. I don't think it's a coincidence.

I think there might have been peasants in them there hills. In them there hills. Okay. The answers are in. Four. Hang on. What have I fucking done here? Nguyen Namwika.

I've put your answers in question six, which is... I've never done that before. Apologies. Absolutely. It's chaotic over here with the milk and the orange juice. The gummies. I find any time I'm recording, I encounter a problem I have never,

never encountered before in my entire life. It's amazing. I've been doing it for years it's still how I'm still every time I hit record I'm like how how have I never encountered this before and while you're still writing your answers let's go for a quick break I know you've already written your answers okay

don't look at me like that there was nothing I understood I know what've already written your answers, okay? Don't look at me like that. There was nothing I understood. I know what ad breaks are. Don't look at me. Nah, good on ya. We're all having fun here. Are we having fun? Yeah.

Loretta Lynn is great. Real needy. I really love Loretta Lynn, but I didn't know that song. And I should have, so I'm embarrassed for myself. Do you know, I forget her name. She's a country western singer. I think her first name's Connie. I can't remember her surname.

But she, this would have been like in the 60s. She came into a recording studio with however much money it took to record an album. She's like, I want to record an album just for me or whatever. And they're like, okay, cool. They record the album. And then, because it was just an assistant who was working there at the time she leaves and then uh the owner comes in and is like what's because they kept a copy they were like what's he was like what's this and it's like oh just someone came in to record an album he plays it he's like this is really good

they start playing it on the radio station it It's like a massive hit. It just absolutely blows up. People all over the US clamoring for more, but they don't know who the hell she was. Really? She just came in, gave them her name, and they never found out. Ever? What?

What? That's a mystery. Yeah, we don't know who she is. She just came and went. As Connie. Yeah, I think her name was Connie. I might have that wrong. I've got the album on my phone,

because I have one music playlist with every song on it. Oh. It's hard for me to find them. Oh, no, I mean every song ever that I like. Oh. I have one playlist. Was it Connie Converse? You're always in the same mood.

I think Connie Converse is a known singer. Yeah. I just found an article called The Mysterious Story think Connie Converse is a known singer. Right. Yeah. I just found an article called The Mysterious Story of Connie Converse. Oh, maybe. No, it is her then. No, maybe it is. There could be two mysterious Connie's. There can't be two mysterious.

No. I love that sort of stuff. I once was part of this, like a Melbourne Facebook group or whatever. I forget what it was for. I think it was a nerdy D&D sort of thing. And we got, there's apparently in Florida, there's also a city called Melbourne. And we got a guy who once came in and was trying to,

he was like, oh, I'm trying to sell my D&D books or whatever. Does anyone want to come pick them up? And we were like, everyone in the group was like, oh, so sorry. This is Melbourne, Australia. And he became really, like, insistent that he had the right group for some reason i don't know why yeah it was very everyone else is in the wrong group yeah no no he was like no no no no he he was like no i i insist someone come like he couldn't understand that there was a different it was a different country i don't understand really what he meant different, it was a different country. I don't understand, really, what he meant.

Wow. But. You know, I saw, like, I don't know if this is true, but there was, like, a thing, like, on, like, Instagram or something that in Austria, at the airport, I'm saying the airport, like, there's one. I don't know what they mean. Zurich. Surely.

That's in Switzerland. Yeah. Whoa, what a commute. God, that sucks. In Austria. The Skybus has quite a lengthy journey there. The service desk at the airport in Austria. Sorry, there is a service desk for travelers that have gone to Austria,

but they think they've gone to Australia. I have heard this recently. So they booked a ticket thinking, like, just missed out a couple of letters, thinking, like, they've arrived in Australia. Everyone's talking German. They're like, what the fuck? And so there's a specific, specific like service desk for them to help them out that is amazing i wonder if we have the same how often do you reckon people are mixing it

up the other way around interesting i didn't think about the other way i wonder maybe i know anytime i'm trying to get australia in like a drop down menu i will type a u s and hit enter i never look past that and that could so easily end in tears for me it looks like maybe in salzburg which i've been to that airport oh and i'm like by mistake are you trying to get home i'm like mom dad where are you that's so funny yeah wow um but imagine like the the irate i just would imagine those people like no i double checked like i'm definitely in australia right now i'm so sorry yeah what what is that is that a desk you want to be working on? No. No, absolutely not.

But so many steps that you just would have had to ignore in order to get there. There would be some moments where it was really fun. Depending on the person, if I realise I've done that, that would be a pretty fun moment. Yes. Because I'd be like, well, I guess I've got to... I'll just enjoy it. I guess I'll just enjoy.

I guess I'm going to the Santa Music Museum. I think you would need a pretty high tolerance for discomfort to come off like a 9, 10, 14 hour flight and be like, oh, the wrong destination by half the planet. Yeah. Yeah. This is funny. Yeah, that's true. It would only be fun if you were accommodation in australia or something you're probably traveling for a

cousin's wedding or something yes uh he was the first member of the public to buy a pair of air jordans he uh he he he I don't know is this something very easy but it's you're thinking it's a tongue twister yeah I'm just suddenly got a headache over my oh no that sucks it is the juice and the milk that you're drinking. I think you're right. I haven't had the right amount, the right ratio. You've finished your juice, so you've still got half the milk to curdle left.

When the juice and coffee hits, tell you what. It really isn't hard to say. That was good work. So that means in that round, it was one point to Raewyn, one point to the house. So going to the final round. Oh, wait.

Well, I guess it was the fish man. Yeah. Wait. Well, let's pretend. What did I get up to? You just said that Adam. Oh, yes. The runner team.

Yeah. This one takes a bit. You've got to really kind of churn through it. yeah this one takes a bit you gotta really kinda churn through it it's funny as well cause it's it's so without just that

spelling detail there was really so it could be anything at all so I toyed with whether or not I should tell you that that would've been good yeah

I mean to get the suggested ones would've been very it would've been yeah might've been a bit of a giveaway no no i think i think you did the right thing i think yeah i feel like in there i had to probably say but these are see some people say oh how easy is it to put together this quiz for this podcast

or say look sometimes i gotta make decisions i would say this would i i would have it would have kept me up there's a lot of subtle little things you gotta decide on here okay get away real defensive about it about something that no one's ever said oh you think this is easy dear it's actually really this actually this is actually really hard I gotta think about

this a lot dad yeah this is this is my calling dad it's a job yeah I do work nine-to-five actually yes yeah on this quiz yes it was a mistake to put a a cow related question on a an episode right was in yes i slip up sometimes we all make mistakes i'm sorry dad i like that my meteoric rise was really short left i love how you called it as well. I'm like the old humble carnivale. Is that plant in the corner real?

No, I don't think so. Okay. I'm guessing they... Just tripped me. Yeah. I'm guessing they must have figured that they wouldn't survive in here. Yeah, well, yeah, I guess. Not a lot of natural light in here.

Yeah. There must be some plants that can handle no natural light. I keep looking. I keep trying to find them. There is actually, it's not technically a plant. I think it's actually a fungus. And what it does is you need to plant it in another plant. It kills that plant, but then it itself grows

um it's like the only what a grim way to start your life i know uh but it's what it looks beautiful it's like completely white it looks a little bit like a like a drooping plant like that oh yeah um but imagine that but completely white and it needs no sunlight it's very difficult to acquire though they're not i don't think you can get one in australia are they edible i don't know i've not looked that up very few plants are though annoyingly yeah that's weird and but a lot of fun funguses are yeah except the the ones that are very yeah yeah okay yeah they're not the kind of thing that you would roll the dice on when you find one in the bushes. Yes.

I have a mate, though, who likes to go foraging for fungus. Yeah? Yeah. Do you know the redwood forest out in the Dandenongs? It's around, what's it called? It begins with a H. Halliburton, Halifax. It's got a name like that.

Haribo? Haribo, yeah. Is it in Gummyland? Yeah. I think it might be Candyland. Candyland, yeah. Gummyland is UK, Candyland is America. Okay.

Yeah. When I was filming a show with Saran last year or this year, I don't know, time has lost all meaning, but one of the days, so each episode we went to a different town talking to a different restaurateur, and we went to one, and he took us out foraging for mushrooms.

Oh, that would have been lovely. And I quietly said, can you just see if any of the edible ones? Yeah. We didn't find any. Oh, no, we found some edible ones. But not edible. the edible ones. We didn't find any. Oh, no, we found some edible ones. But not edible. Not edible ones.

This concerns me that she's still going. I know. Like, I shouldn't. I'm taking too long. It makes me feel like, what now? And then I get disgusted by what you're saying. Yeah, I was going to say, the funny thing is going to be when it's very fungus heavy. Yeah.

No, it makes me feel heaps like when you're doing an exam, you put your pencil down, you look around, everyone's still going. You're like, oh, I've messed up. I'm not doing, this is not acceptable. Yours is very similar in length to all the others in so far. Raya's one is strangely long. No, they're all about the same length I just write really slow

well yeah some say you write so some say you write more uh mindfully mine is kind of just word spaghetti I wish I knew any I'm trying to think Mine is kind of just word spaghetti, yeah. What? I wish I knew any.

I'm trying to think. What's the... Mom's spaghetti. What's the... What are any of the other lyrics? Yeah, what are any of the other lyrics? Because then, if I was smart, if I was quick, I could have done... You lose yourself in the moment, don't it?

You don't ever let go, go. You only get one shot. Do not miss your chance. Well, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime. Yo! But to know the words before and after mum's spaghetti so that I could have added word spaghetti would have ruled, but alas, I...

Yeah. I'm not that clever. I'm not that clever. They must content themselves with a nosy neighbor who suspect sorry my god i'm like the words are blurring if i if i pass out soon can you do you still have that weird headache no the headache's gone but i just like it was just like the page just went like in me? It's not even that hot, is it? You're sweating. I turn 40 tomorrow. I think this is aging.

No. This is early onset 40. No. Getting a day early. Happy birthday. Thank you so much. I'm just zooming in. Oh, God.

I have to do that sometimes. All right. I might start on from the top. Okay. I believe in myself. All right. Here are your options. Man, it's so funny.

I looked at the time under an hour and I'm like, oh, this is going to be a short ep. How good, how officially are we doing this? And then 40 minutes later, we did the final two questions. Oh, gosh. I should say I was, in case you're worrying about me, I was lying about the screen blurring. It was just because I was reading Adam's answer out.

And if I said, this doesn't make sense, I've got to change a word, it would have given it away. I was rereading it while out and if I said this doesn't make sense I gotta change a word it would have given it away I was rereading it while you were reading it out and I was like oh no I have I should have done one edit it was atrocious I was able to get through most of it

one word really changed the meaning and I'm like oh no oh the screen's blurring you were very you covered for me very well were you also like um lying when you had the uh i did have a little headache but i was i was covering another thing oh yeah okay so yeah i don't know full of full i'm ready to lie about about my health to save the quiz. Is it even your birthday tomorrow?
