Welcome to Who Knew with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart. Our guests this week are Californian-based stand-up comedians and hosts of the Scary Funny Podcast. It's Tom Tran and deshaun ross hey what's happening what's
Starting point is 00:01:09 going on what's good i mean it's so nice to be here in california thank you for coming and hanging out with us for a couple of days in la la land itself this is where dreams are made where the beautiful people are as the fattest person you're ever going to see walks down sunset it's uh it's just nice i mean we're out in the back in a shed slash podcast studio yes my shed that's literally what this is it's let's let's not be around to us this was the shed that i built when the world ended that's great could it withstand a bomb blast absolutely not this can barely withstand the little bit of rain we get in Southern California. Right. Well, you're pretty safe here, right, in America?
Starting point is 00:01:51 I don't think America has any enemies on the world stage. No, no, we're not Israel or Palestine right now, so sorry to get political. And you, because you're an army vet. I am. And Deshawn is an army entertainer vet. Right? Yes. You've done Iraq tour? Yes, correct.
Starting point is 00:02:15 How many times have you been to Iraq? I've only been to Iraq once. Okay. And I remember going, I don't know how people come back and do this again to protect us. I get it, but I don't. Right. Yeah. It was scary for us.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Because, like, the first, right when you land, they give you, the army, the military in general gives you so much information so fast. They don't tell you, hey, you're going to want to write this down. I'm like, I'm not ready to take notes yet. They give you a bulletproof vest, a helmet, and they're just telling you all kinds of information. So it's like, hey, I didn't't come to shoot i came to tell jokes i don't even need this vest and they're like yes you do because they're shooting missiles over here all the time and that's when i was like i'm ready to go home i thought we were gonna be like on a helicopter that said like entertainers don't hit this one that's not the way it works so it was an eye-opener though
Starting point is 00:03:05 i learned a lot right well yeah it's good to be you're safe here this is north hollywood not a lot happens here so there's a quinceanera going around down the street yeah we're recording on halloween halloween night halloween night because we're adults who don't have children so yeah we're responsible. There's going to be a knock on the shed door. Trick or treat. Get away from me, kids. I ain't got no candy.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Anyway, the way this show works is ask a relatively obscure trivia question and our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answers as well as the real one and have to guess which one is correct. Here's the first question. I've thrown in a couple of Australian-specific ones because back home, you know, everyone would know what this means. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:51 I wonder if you will or not. Here's the question. I mean, I do listen to a lot of Do Go On and The Weekly Planet. So you've got some advantage here, I think. The question is, what does the Australian term hard yakka mean? What does the term hard yakka mean while they're writing their answers i'll explain how the scoring works so you get one point if
Starting point is 00:04:12 your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point if you correctly guess the answer and by the way i'm also playing as the house i've put into my own fake answers for each question i get a point for each one of these that our guests choose So each of us can score up to two points per round Which seems fair but the probability actually favors me The house And the house always wins though If you've listened to recent episodes you'll know that is
Starting point is 00:04:35 Rarely the case Anyway our questions come from our great Patreon supporters And if you want to submit a question Sign up on any level via patreon.com Slash do go on pod which is linked in the show notes you got your answer in there tom i got my answer in there you were so just for for australian listeners you're you're a regular at the you're calling the a clubs here in in la like the factory especially yeah i'm a i'm a stand-up comic here in los angeles um i i was an executive at the
Starting point is 00:05:06 laugh factory for a little while against my better judgment and best wishes uh but i i'm a regular at the laugh factory uh the comedy magic club in hermosa beach i'm a touring stand-up comic too uh my my group the gi's of comedy which is a military veteran based stand-up comedy group uh we've toured 20 plus countries and nearly 40 plus states performing to u.s service members all over the world you're gonna try and get the last 10 states out of the way um yeah i know i think it's i think there's only like eight states we haven't been to uh as a group um but yeah i'm trying to knock them the last few years have been tough traveling because we don't uh with the the whole you know pandemic thing but yeah i'm trying to knock out as i don't know there i used to have that goal of like i want
Starting point is 00:05:59 to perform in every state in the union did you have that deshaun absolutely yeah um and at some point i was like i don't need to go to this state oh you're not gonna name names but what are the ones in the middle somewhere have i performed in nebraska i've been to nebraska i've driven through nebraska a couple times yeah i found one of the best mex places in Nebraska, middle of Nebraska. God, there's no reason on God's green earth this Mexican place should have been as good as it was in Nebraska. Well, isn't their college team the Cornhuskers? Corn's a key ingredient in Mexican food. He's got a point. I think the logic adds up there.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yeah, he's got a point. All right. I didn't see that, but yes, you have a point. I learned that from a Jim Carrey movie. You're talking about when he, say yes, man. Yes. That's it. Yep.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Because when I think of Nebraska, I think when they went to Lincoln, Nebraska to see the game. Yeah. Yeah. One. Yeah, that's on my list of places to go. I want to go to a Cornhuskers game one day. It seemed like it would be fun.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Yeah. All right, the answers are in. Here is question number one. What does the Australian term hard yakka mean? A horny moose-like animal with long hair native to Southeastern Asia. Leftover food that tastes better the next day, such as pizza or a Vegemite sandwich. Arduous work, especially especially backbreaking manual labor a strong alcohol drink that is used to celebrate the win
Starting point is 00:07:33 of a football game or uh someone who talks too much aka a conversation hog who hmm you want to answer first uh yes so we'll go with what was b b was leftover food that tastes better the next day let's go with that one yeah let's go with b okay hard yakka some delicious hard yakka i'm gonna go day old vegemite sandwich you never know you surprised me with lemonade. Oh, yeah. For Australian listeners, I've had trouble with lemonade over here. Because over here it means actual lemonade. It means actual lemonade, and we've got it wrong. It's a drink made with lemons.
Starting point is 00:08:19 It's a drink made with lemons that little kids sell out the front of their houses with a stall for 50 cents a glass. Whereas in Australia, it's Sprite, which over here is called soda. How does that work? I wasn't even there for the conversation. I don't know how it came up, but when he said lemonade can be just like a drink. Yeah, you'd have raspberry lemonade.
Starting point is 00:08:40 But it's lemonade with raspberry. No, I don't think there's any lemonade in there. I think it's just raspberry. But lemonade is right to them. That's why I was like. Yeah, I think maybe like what you call soda. I mean, I might be wrong. I'm going to get Australians going. You're the only one who thinks that.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Oh, we came over because I was like, my cousins always say pop. Yeah, yeah. Because they're from the northeast. And then we say soda. On the West Coast, we say soda. And then that's when he said, oh, lemonade. Yeah, cool. No, I'm pretty sure I wanted soda. Yeah, yeah. Because they're from the northeast. And then we say, on the West Coast, we say soda. And then that's when he said, oh, lemonade. Yeah, cool.
Starting point is 00:09:07 No, I'm pretty sure I wanted soda. Yeah. Because lemonade's the whole thing. But if you said soft drinks probably would work, that's more universal, right? Yeah, but that's a generic term for that whole thing.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Maybe I'll be safer just saying that. All right, so you're all going for leftover food that improves the next day. What do you think, Tom? So you got the moose, leftover food, hard work, strong alcohol, drink, or conversation hog? The last one. Conversation hog?
Starting point is 00:09:34 Yeah. That's the one I wanted to go with, actually, but then I got nervous. Please, feel no pressure here. No, there's always pressure and competition. Pressure's on, yeah? You got a competitive spirit? Absolutely. All right, well, let no pressure here. No, there's always pressure in competition. Pressure's on, yeah? You got a competitive spirit? Absolutely. All right, well, let's go through who wrote the answers then.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Horny moose-like animal with long hair native to Asia. That was Tom. I figured that one. Someone that heard horny, I was like, I know he wrote that. Yeah, often players will have a tell. And yeah, every answer that has horny in it. It's about sex in general there's tom again uh then we had a strong alcohol i said drink but it's a strong alcohol drank sorry i misread that uh to celebrate the win of football aka soccer game that was deshawn
Starting point is 00:10:20 go corn huskers who is because you're from from California, but a smaller city in California, right? It's called Riverside. What's the college team there or the high school team? Well, we have a few, but the UC Riverside, so it's UCR, that's the college team or college. And then high schools, we got a bunch. Right. Yeah, it's not that small. We got a lot of
Starting point is 00:10:45 high schools fun fact there's no river in riverside what there's like a little puddle and i'll tell you what they actually had to build a gate or like a fencing around it because a lot of the immigrants would come and try to sit down there like it's a beach but it's right next to a sewer plant too on top of that's delicious. It's like it became a health issue. Yeah, and they would still have their beach chairs and everything hanging out out there. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:09 It's disgusting. That's no good. Then we had the leftover food tastes better the next day. Sean went for that. That was the house. That was me. I should have went with the one I wanted there. You've given me a point there.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Tom went for someone who talks too much, a conversation hog. That was also me. You've both fallen into my trap the correct dance is actually arduous work especially backbreaking manual labor doing some hard yakka that was that's yeah that was the least yeah i was that wasn't even on my radar yeah i literally forgot it till the moment you said it again so yeah it's like you're doing a big day's work. You're doing hard yakka. Makes no goddamn sense. There's like a tradie workwear brand called hard yakka. Of course there is.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I love it. A hard yakka. Hard yakka. What you doing back there? Some hard yakka. We'll keep up the good work. That's it. You could hear that.
Starting point is 00:12:04 That means after one round, it's two points to the house. Tom and Deshaun yet to score. But I think you're both doing great. And while you're writing your next answer, I'll let the listeners know a bit more about hard yucca. But this one comes from Philly Ellis from Elton in Hampshire in the UK. And this question is, name a species of turtle. comes from Philly Ellis from Alton in Hampshire in the UK. And this question is, name a species of turtle.
Starting point is 00:12:31 So you've just got to make up a fake species of turtle. So the real question is, which one of these is a real species of turtle? You've just got to name a fake one. Oh, okay. So, Annie, just come up with whatever you like, and then we'll go through the options. But while you're writing your answers, here's some more info on hard yakka. According to the ABC, that's the Australian one, yakka means physically draining work. It comes from Jaeger, meaning work in the Jaguar language of the Brisbane area, an Aboriginal language.
Starting point is 00:13:00 I thought Jaeger was a German liquor. And that's why I kind of went with that too when I heard that part. Ah, makes sense. Hard Jaeger. Yeah, just slowly evolved into Yakka. And they helpfully put it in a sentence, which I think always makes it easy to learn a word, saying, I helped my relatives move house over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:13:24 It was hard Yakka i can yeah i can hear the the other pins dropping there thank now i get it now i get it now that you've put it into a sentence all right the answer in for question number two which one of these is a real species of turtle you've got turtle fish rebecca tabasco mud Turtle, Toad Screwing Turtle, Splinter Turtle, or Chumbawamba Good Times Turtle? Turtlefish Rebecca, Tabasco Mud Turtle, Toad Screwing Turtle, Splinter Turtle, or Chumbawamba Good Times Turtle? I want to say that one. We do. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:02 I want the Tabasco or Chumbawamba Wumba. I'm going to go with Chumbawamba just because it's funny. I know Tabasco one. We do. All right. I want the Tabasco or Chubba Wumba Wumba. I'm going to go with Chubba Wumba, just because it's funny. I know Tabasco's in my heart. Tabasco Mud Turtle? Yeah, Tabasco Mud Turtle. I'm going to go with Chubba Wumba Wumba. You know what? I'm going to go Tabasco Mud Turtle.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Okay. Only because I just watched a YouTube video about how they make Tabasco. Yeah. And too many things are lining up for me. Right. Was one of the ingredients turtle? Maybe. Yeah, they don't want you to know that, but the secret ingredient is turtle.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Mud turtle, specifically. All right, here's who wrote the answers. Turtlefish Rebecca. That was the house. That's a little in-joke for me that you wouldn't get. That's like an obscure, well, it's not obscure in Australia, but there's a kind of a cult figure on this TV show called Neighbours. It's like a soapy.
Starting point is 00:14:58 His name's Toad Fish Rebecca. There's nearly nothing there, but anyway. Toad screwing turtle, of course, was Tom leaving his calling card there. Splinter Turtle, that was Deshawn, who I know is a Ninja Turtles fan. Yes. I like the reference there. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I also like Deshawn had some extra info. I didn't read it out because I would make it stand out too much. But you wrote, Splinter Turtle, they're native to the Pacific Islands and mostly known for eating small some extra info i didn't read it out because i would make it stand out too much but you uh you wrote splinter turtle they're native to the pacific islands and mostly known for eating small delicacies because i want i did if i said pizza they would have gave it away yeah yeah and they love to party yeah uh chumble one but good times turtle that was philly. Okay, the house. Dang. Meaning the correct answer is the Tabasco mud turtle. And I said it.
Starting point is 00:15:48 You did. You're on the... Which double wombo was it so funny? I get a point. You're on the board. I'm on the board. Tom's on the board. So after two rounds, we've got Deshawn yet to score.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Tom on one point, but out in front on three points. It's the house. We're up to question number three. This one comes from Katie Cl clays from newman in western australia question is what headline appeared in the guardian on the 3rd of november 2014 about a quirky crime in the small western australian town of newman so this is a this is a hometown question from katie she's from the small town of newman she wants to know there was an article in a paper about a small-time quirky crime. You just got to write the headline for the article.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Okay. Okay. While you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more about Tabasco mud turtles. According to Animal Fun Facts, we've all heard of the hot pepper, but who knew that its name comes from the Mexican state of Tabasco? I didn't know that. I also didn't know the sauce was named after a hot pepper. I just thought it was the brand name.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Anyway. It seemed too weird for me to not be real. I love how you picked it up. So, yeah, and that's the same place that the Tabasco mud turtle comes from. In Tabasco, Mexico, it's more commonly known as Pochitoque. And it's a small turtle that can be found in central Veracruz, Tabasco, which makes sense, northern Guatemala and Belize. The turtle lives in small streams streams marshes and ponds and its feeding habits are mainly carnivorous and it's nocturnal uh the in tabasco the turtle is
Starting point is 00:17:33 an important part of its popular culture as well as being an ingredient in tabasco's gastronomy in spite of its special protected status so they do do like eating it. But I don't think it actually is an ingredient in the sauce. Could be. All right, the answers are in for question number three. What headline appeared in The Guardian on the 3rd of November 2014 about a quirky crime in the small Western Australian town of Newman? Homeless man saves baker and three dozen donuts from building fire. Rushes out with two donuts in mouth.
Starting point is 00:18:04 That is one of the smaller time crimes you'll get. Donut stealing. Thirsty pilot expected to be charged after driving light plane down Main Street for a drink at the pub. Black market reptile seller stung when counterfeit snake sale goes south. Streaker, after running naked through town,
Starting point is 00:18:24 declares he feels like a new man despite fine. Or local man arrested after inserting hot peppers into his cheating wife. As a journalist, I'm going to go with the... Wait, what was the third one? Black market reptile seller stung when counterfeit snake sale goes south. That's as a journalist. That's the one that sounds most like a real. That sounds most like.
Starting point is 00:18:46 It's got the rhythm of a headline. Yeah. That was actually the one I was going to say. Do I have to pick a different one? No, no, you don't have to. Okay, I want that one. I like the pilot one, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:56 That's pretty awesome. But that feels very Matt. Well, that's pretty awesome. That one feels very Matt. Because, I mean, you said at a pub, right? Yeah. I could see that happening, though. It's not too late to change.
Starting point is 00:19:09 You are one down on Tom. This could be a chance to catch up. That is true. Or I could go down two. That's true as well. But I like that headline. That's what it is. I just like it.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I want it to be. No, I want that one to be true because I'm guessing the snake thing. Like you like Chumbawamba. I love that still to be true Because I'm guessing The snake thing Like you like Chumbawamba I love that still Alright well So you're going to stick with the Snake salesman Yeah Counterfeit snake salesman
Starting point is 00:19:33 Alright here's the answers Homeless man saves baker And three dozen donuts From building fire That was Tom Man that made me hungry for donuts I gotta tell ya Imagine that'd be extra crispy as well

Starting point is 00:20:11 Homer Simpson No I've not I've not had one I've had No I've had Krispy Kremes You haven't had Krispy Kremes They probably get baked over here
Starting point is 00:20:18 They're three days old By the time I get Streaker Who Declared himself a new man Despite fine That was Katie A.K.A. The House
Starting point is 00:20:27 Local man Arrested after inserting hot peppers Into his cheating wife That was Deshawn Jeez that had I think listeners were thinking That's Tom Obviously
Starting point is 00:20:35 Then we had The Black Market Reptile Seller Stung when counterfeit snake sale Goes south That was The House Ah damn it It was the. That was the house. Ah, damn it.
Starting point is 00:20:47 It was the pub. It was the pub. Really? Damn it. Because I was like, that sounds crazy that somebody would do this. Yeah. That was... That was my other one. That was the other one I was going to go with.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Yeah, your instinct's been really good to Sean, but you haven't always gone with the gut. I've always gone against him. That's why my knees pop. Yep. I always go against my instincts. And all that tension goes into your knees? No. When I didn't listen to my instincts, I did something bad.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Well, I didn't do something bad. I was in a bad accident, and now my knees pop. Right. Yeah. But there's no consequence on this. I won't be in an accident where my knees will pop again. I'd feel real bad if you got into a podcast accident today um so we're geez we're coming up to the halfway mark and uh you two have a bit of work to do uh deshawn still yet to score tom on one point but the house is building a lead on five
Starting point is 00:21:37 points damn it it's been a month since the house won an episode of this like you're too dumb he's american i gotta come all the way to the States to win my own game that I made up. Here's question four. This one comes from Louis Gemmel from Glasgow. And Louis asks, outside of her music, what odd reason is British singer-songwriter Brocard well-known?
Starting point is 00:22:00 Outside of her music, what odd reason is British singer-songwriter Brocard well-known? So Brocard sort of got a bit of attention, but not music-related. And while you're writing those answers, let me tell you more about the pub-bound pilot. According to Katie, a 37-year-old man who taxied his light plane down the main street in the WA Pilbara town of Newman and parked it at a pub has since been fined. Anthony Philip Whiteway pleaded guilty in the Newman Magistrates Court to committing an act likely to endanger the life, health or safety of a person. The plane had no wings but its propeller had been running when it was taxied down the street. Mr Whiteway had just bought the aircraft
Starting point is 00:22:44 and was taking it home when he stopped at the Newman Hotel. Police said there was an exposed fuel line hanging from the side of the plane that was attached to an insecure jerry can inside the cabin to enable the engine to run. They said Mr. Whiteway, who does not hold a pilot's license, left the engine in a potentially dangerous condition with the ignition on.
Starting point is 00:23:05 He was fined $5, grand plus court and towage costs. Mr. Whiteway said he was keen to restore the plane once it was returned to him by police, but he said the wingless plane would not be taken to the pub again anytime soon. Apparently the pub has embraced the legend of the incident and has now painted a plain mural on the outside of the pub all right while you're still writing your answers let's go for a quick break all right we're back and your answers are in so here's question number four outside of her music what odd reason is british singer-songwriter brocade or brocade well known she discovered the face of king charles in a pie she got into a fight in a bar in london and ended up assaulting a police
Starting point is 00:23:54 officer she was badly injured in a cheese rolling disaster she is famous for her ability to break men's hearts or she married married a Victorian ghost named Eduardo, but later divorced him by having an exorcism. The second one? She got into a fist fight in a bar in London, ended up assaulting a police officer. I'm going to go with that one. All right, looking that in.
Starting point is 00:24:19 I don't have no real instinct on this one. Yeah, okay. I just got shot in the dark on this one. I'm going to go with the cheese wheel, only because I watched, again, i watched the youtube video about cheese wheels in london right so you think it's just the universe is uh sending you the answers yeah although none of them have been right so far that one is crazy though yeah yeah that one was right okay i'm gonna go with the universe right. Here's who wrote the answers.
Starting point is 00:24:46 She discovered the face of King Charles in a pie. That was Lewis, aka The House. She's famous for her ability to break men's hearts. That was Deshawn. She was badly injured in a cheese rolling disaster. That was also Lewis, aka The House. Damn it! Damn you, Lewis!
Starting point is 00:24:59 She got into a fight in a bar in London and ended up assaulting a police officer. Deshawn went for that. That was Tom. Ah. I mean, the correct answer is she married a Victorian ghost named Eduardo, but later divorced him by having an exorcism. That was too crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I was like, there's no way that's the one. Because my second guess would have been the cheese wheel thing, but never the ghost. Yeah, just a ridiculous story. But in my head now, I'm thinking I remember that story. And also just English, British tabloid newspapers always have these wacky stories about people marrying non-humans, ghosts or objects or whatever.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Now that I think about it, I feel like I've heard that story. Right. Son of a bitch. Well, you did get a point there because Deshaun picked your answer. Deshaun still. I'm just losing. Still yet to score, but I feel like there's a... Any of the points, like double?
Starting point is 00:25:55 Yeah, final round's triple points. Okay, because... So you can... You're still in this. Even in track, I always won the race at the end, never at the beginning. You call that the anchor, right, in a relay race. You're the one crossing the finish line.
Starting point is 00:26:09 All right. We're up to question number five. This one comes from Jim Bates from Sackett's Harbor in New York. Was that anywhere near where you grew up in Buffalo? I don't even know where that is. You're right. It's a great name. I've never even heard of that.
Starting point is 00:26:23 I know. Sackett's Harbor. Sackett's Harbor? Sackett's Harbor? How do you spell that? S-A-C-K-E-T-S and Harbor. Sackett's Harbor, New York. That is... Oh, that's up near Watertown.
Starting point is 00:26:36 That's up near... That's north up near Fort Drum, which is weird because I've been to Fort Drum. Right. So you've been nearby. Maybe it's just a small place it's a tiny it's literally a tiny little harbor west of watertown that's funny because i know it i know it quite well because uh jim's pretty prolific uh writing questions for the show he
Starting point is 00:26:57 always writes great questions okay so i'm like oh sagataba new york no it's uh it must be a great it's a great place that I know so well. And I assume that Americans would have heard of it. I'm from that state. I've never heard of it. I've been stationed. Well, I wasn't stationed. I was training 50 miles from there.
Starting point is 00:27:15 I've never heard of it. Never heard of it. That's great. Well, Jim's question is actually specific to Australia as well. Weird. I think you might listen to my other podcast, Do Go On, because it is about my football team. Yes! The question is,
Starting point is 00:27:33 introduced in 2003, what is the name of the St. Kilda Football Club's official mascot? Introduced in 2003, what is the name of the St. Kilda Football Club's official mascot? This helps you at all, Deshawn. They're the Saints, St. Kilda Saints. So you just, you know, like, what's the buff? What's the Lakers?
Starting point is 00:27:51 Does the Lakers have a mascot? No, they got the Lakers girls. Yes, it's just the Lakers. There's no real mascot. They walked straight past us last night. They absolutely did, yes. Sean was about to get us arrested. We were, because we came down.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Have we talked about it on this show? Because we just did tom no i'm in the sean's podcast before but last night we watched the lakers play the magic in tom's works box tom's a traffic man for a radio fm station you made that sound almost dirty yeah yeah my works box your works box yeah man that was uh what a night you've ruined sport for me forever i know i feel like i've ruined a lot of things for like my girlfriend because like she went every every game we've ever gone to has been in the suite maybe she'll love sitting out in the stand now feel like wow what an experience no so there's normally other people on the floor yeah no no no carlton from fresh prince yeah in the box next to us alfonso roberto was next to
Starting point is 00:28:50 us i think i think we waved to him a couple times selena dion was on the floor selena gomez selena gomez sorry was on the floor there yeah uh mk ultra no mk machine gun kelly machine gun Yeah. MK Ultra? No, MK... Machine Gun Kelly. Machine Gun Kelly. MK? I was like, who is MK? MK Ultra. That's a CIA project. I am. Yeah. I think me telling stories from this trip, people are going to be like, what are you fucking talking about?
Starting point is 00:29:19 I can remember LeBron James. Yep. The Los Angeles Lakers. That's all you need to remember. Carlton from Fresh Prince. Yeah. That's the crux of the story. Tom took us to a basketball game.
Starting point is 00:29:30 We saw Selena Gomez fight Carlton. Yep. Over some sushi. Over some sushi as Machine Gun Kelly was reading a passage from Operation Grudge. I'll quickly tell you the story uh before we get on the next question of the uh brocard story uh she's from oxford she apparently she made the news when she posted a wedding to a ghost of a victorian soldier on her instagram halloween 2022 a year ago tonight that give me give you chills? But the marriage did not start off well because Brocard claimed her husband got too drunk on their honeymoon.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Did you know that? Because your other podcast, which you mentioned, which would have come out a few weeks ago, it's called Scary and Funny. Scary Funny. Scary Funny. And we talked about a bunch of crap, but it's mainly about ghosts and stuff. Did you know that ghosts can get drunk? I didn't know that. No.
Starting point is 00:30:30 That's pretty awesome. They're assholes. Yeah. Constantly. Maybe they're flipping on light switches all the time because they're hammered. Yeah, that's why. That'd be awesome.
Starting point is 00:30:37 They're unfinished businesses, like drinking a Barocca the next day or something. So, yeah, she said got off to a bad start and then he became increasingly possessive and threatening towards her. Ghosts do possess. That is a thing they do, isn't it? They possess people.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Yeah. She should have known what she was getting into. But she claims that he also haunted her with the sound of a screaming baby. That sounds like a nightmare marriage. And then he also got obsessed with Marilyn Monroe, which began after a ghost appeared at the chapel during the wedding. So Marilyn Monroe came to their ghost wedding,
Starting point is 00:31:14 and then her ghost husband got obsessed with Marilyn Monroe's ghost. And then apparently her ghost husband would go away for days at a time and return smelling of Chanel No. 5, which is a perfume associated with Monroe. So we're pieces of shit even in the afterlife? That's crazy. You cheat as you're dead. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Man. Yeah. So then after less than a year of marriage, she took him back to the wedding chapel and had him exercised which also counts as a divorce that's interesting i feel that's something that i think you should really explore on your show like she should have known i mean he's a ghost yeah free range i'd like to quote rick james okay cocaine is a hell of a drug. And she knew the perfume and everything.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Yeah. That feels wonky. All right. The answers are in. Here's question number five. Introduced in 2003, what is the name of the St. Kilda Football Club's official mascot? Tony Torpedo, Stewie the Bucket, St. Kilda, Hank the Halo, or Trevor? Tony Torpedo, Stewie the Bucket, St. Kilda, Hank the Halo, or Trevor? Tony Torpedo, Stewie the Bucket, St. Kilda, Hank the Halo, or Trevor?
Starting point is 00:32:34 I'm going to go with Trevor because I feel like that's just... What was the first two? Tony Torpedo, Stewie the Bucket. I feel like Stewie's from Family Guy. Tony Torpedo. I feel like Stewie's from Family Guy. Tony Torpedo. I like that name, though. I do. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:32:51 It's not it, but I like that name. I like it, too. I'm going to go with Tony Torpedo. It's probably not it, but I like the name. Locking in Tony Torpedo. All right, here's who wrote the answers. Hank the Halo. That was Tom.
Starting point is 00:33:04 I had to change one of mine late because i also had a one called harry halo so i changed mine very quickly to stewie the bucket and that's my brain working under pressure there was there was a player when i was a kid called his nickname was buckets because he had really big hands yeah and like he could catch balls like they were basically falling into a bucket i was wondering how they got buckets yeah yeah uh then we had saint kilda that was deshawn and again deshawn has a an explanation here saint's captain looks like captain crunch guy that's what in my head. I wouldn't be surprised if they do look similar. Captain Crunch Guy.
Starting point is 00:33:49 What's Captain? That's a cereal. I love how the American cereals have mascots. Yeah. He looks awesome. That's probably why I like that name, because Tony the Tiger. Yes. I think I realized as I read it out, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:34:02 I've just ripped off Tony the Tiger there. Then we had Tony Torpedo, which I just gave away. It was me, the house. Meaning Trevor is correct. Full name Trevor St. Kilda, but I trimmed out the St. Kilda because you also wrote St. Kilda. Yeah. I just felt like Trevor was like, that sounds like something big deal. Trevor.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Named after Trevor Barker, an 80s hero. Trevor Barker. So you're starting to get into a bit of a groove here, Tom. That's another point to you. But unfortunately, Deshawn again gave a point to the house. I like giving points away. I'm friendly. Deshawn, you're a gentleman.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Thank you. And I really appreciate the hospitality. So we're up to the second last question here. This one comes from Kate Conroy from Adelaide in South Australia. Why was Glyn Wood interviewed by the BBC in 1969? It's a guy called Glyn Wood. He was interviewed like a quirky interview story at the end of the news kind of thing. Why was Glyn Wood interviewed by the BBC in 1969?
Starting point is 00:35:11 While you're writing your answers, here's a little more info about Trevor Saint-Kilder. He's named after 80s player Trevor Barker, and according to Russell Holmesby, the idolized Saint with the blonde locks, Hollywood looks, and penchant for spectacular marks gave fans a reason to cheer week after week. Barks, as he was known, took out the club's best and fairest award in just his second year before adding another in 81.
Starting point is 00:35:35 That very medal would later be named in his honor, with the Trevor Barker Award to this day one of the most revered accolades that can be bestowed upon a saint. He looks ridiculous, gotta say this one that's what he looks like pretty yeah I would have gone with Hank Halo yeah I would have gone with Hank Halo sounds like a badass sounds like a James Bond style
Starting point is 00:36:00 yeah Travis and Barker looks very goofy I went with hank because jim jeffries named his son hank oh and jim jeffries is a famous australian comedian hank is a great that's a great name the answers are in for question number six why was glinwood interviewed by the bbc? He'd just gotten married for the 17th time because of his enormous wooden handmade furniture collection. He was suing the British Forestry Commission,
Starting point is 00:36:34 alleging his family owned the copyright to the word wood because he had a pigeon living on his head or he accidentally wound up at Woodstock while on holiday. Read this again. I like it. They're all very trees trees and birds i'll tell you why i'm gonna go with this one okay and it's mainly because it's actually all because of mike tyson so i'm gonna go with the pigeon one love it because mike tyson loved pigeons what does mike tyson have to do with this absolutely nothing but when i heard it i I thought about Mike Tyson. And I like Mike Tyson.
Starting point is 00:37:28 I'm going to go with- Locked in. What was the second one? Mike Tyson. The enormous handmade furniture collection. That sounds like something they'd talk about in 1969. On British TV. On British TV. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:41 That's definitely a BBC. BBC. BBC. And it might not be him, but at some point, I feel like the BBC knew the story about that. All right. Locked in. Let's go through the answers. Got married for the 17th time.
Starting point is 00:37:57 That was written by Kate, aka The House. He accidentally wound up at Woodstock while on holiday. That was Tom. So I like that story like he's he just thinks he's doing a bit of a farm stay all of a sudden he wakes up one day and there's a huge hippie festival surrounding him
Starting point is 00:38:14 that would be fun suing the British Forestry Commission about the copyright of the word wood that was the house that was a good one I came up with that at the cafe I wrote all this at the cafe of the word wood. That was the house. That was a good one. It was a good one. I came up with that at the cafe. I wrote all this at the cafe around the corner earlier today.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Felt pretty good about that one. I looked up the, I'm like, what do they call the timber industry in England? See, I've got time to look up those facts that you did. You're under a lot more pressure here. Because of his enormous furniture handmade furniture collection which tom went for that was deshawn he's on the board uh which also means deshawn's correct it's because he had a pigeon living on
Starting point is 00:38:57 his head there's a video on this interview you gotta see the uh so even on the interview he's getting a pigeon on his head the pigeon's on his head The whole interview He can't get rid of it Really It's worth a look That's hilarious Let's see So that's
Starting point is 00:39:11 That's the full two points There Deshaun What was his name again His name was Glyn Wood That's the full two points So we're tied Glyn Wood
Starting point is 00:39:18 Interview You're on three So quick score check Deshaun on two points Tom on three points But out in front on seven points It's still the house. I feel like...
Starting point is 00:39:26 Going into the last round, I'm the only one who can't get triple points as well. So this is truly anyone's game here. Okay. I've changed that recently because I always feel bad winning. It's just like going, hey, do you want to come do my podcast
Starting point is 00:39:41 where I can beat you in a game? It seems like a weird thing to do. Pulling out the video. That's ridiculous. And how serious his face is. So would he just beat it like this and stuff too? Yeah, and he talks about how he didn't want it. He initially tried to get rid of it, but it just kept coming back,
Starting point is 00:40:00 and he just ended up making peace with it. That's hilarious. It is amazing. I don't think I'm going to make peace with that. No, I'm not. That's weird. Yeah. He's like, you know, I guess this is my lot now.
Starting point is 00:40:12 This is what it is. All right. So we're up to the final question worth triple points. So it's truly still anyone's game. We always finish with it. It's the longest one you'll write out. It's a movie synopsis. So you'll write like two or three sentences you know briefly uh telling about yeah it's like a trailer of the movie sizing yeah basically yeah okay just a brief summary of the
Starting point is 00:40:36 of a movie plot uh and this question comes from tom uh tom hill who's got the nickname Badger. I like someone who goes about... I like honey badgers. Honey badgers, yeah. They're very bad. Well, this question comes from a honey badger. From York and Rotherham in England. It's probably not pronounced that way
Starting point is 00:40:58 until you told how to pronounce English places. They don't sound like they look, so sorry, Badger. But Badger's question is, what is the plot of the 1946 film, The Time of Their Lives? What is the plot of the 1946 film, The Time of Their Lives? While you're writing your answers, I'll let the listeners know a bit more about Glyn Wood and his pigeon. I've obviously watched the video, but I've found an article that talks about it a bit on the website India Today. And it writes, in 1969, BBC News interviewed Glyn Wood from Stetchford in Birmingham as he shared the story of his friendly pigeon that accompanied
Starting point is 00:41:38 him almost everywhere. Asked about the pigeon, Wood had told the BBC, it's very friendly, asked about the pigeon, Wood had told the BBC, it's very friendly, very friendly to me that is, it doesn't like my wife. In fact, Wood also said that, quote, in the first instance, he tried to get rid of the pigeon, but it just flew around and came back on my head again. Where does it go with you, he was asked, to which he replied, it goes everywhere. Everywhere that I go, the pigeon goes. Up the road, in the shops, greengrocers. And what about work? Well, each night I put it in the garage and lock the doors. And then the following morning,
Starting point is 00:42:18 when I'm clear of the house, my wife opens the garage door and it flies off. When I come home at night night it's waiting for me throughout the interview the pigeon is seen walking on wood's head kate says the question writer kate she says i recommend watching the clip from the interview but the best quote is when they ask him if there's a solution to the problem and he responds i don't see one if it was all in the mind i could see a psychiatrist and that would be the end of the matter but this is real it's amazing he found the solution of putting it in the garage every day but i i feel like i'd do that and then move or um no you couldn't kill the pigeon it's chosen you pigeons can't live that long i'm gonna look up
Starting point is 00:43:05 pigeon life expectancy adults may live up to 15 years but birds in captivity are often reaching over 30 years oh my god so that is uh i guess it's sort of captivity if it's living in their garage so that's uh yeah that's a quite a. So it probably died in the late nineties, assuming that it was a young pigeon at the time. Uh, answers are in. Okay. The final question.
Starting point is 00:43:33 It all comes down to this. All right. Triple points up for grabs. What is the plot to the 1946 film? The time of their lives. Albert Mascherini, a Swiss cuckoo clockmaker helps allied prisoners of war escape from the Nazis by hiding them inside his clocks that are being exported to America. Critics called it a heartbreaking tragedy of love, loss and laughter.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Option two, a love story about a young couple learning how to sell their brand of clothing. about a young couple learning how to sell their brand of clothing. Option three, two prankster ghosts from the American Civil War are falsely accused of being traitors and return in the 20th century to find a letter from George Washington that proves their innocence. Slackers Billy, Michael and Frank are nearing their 30s and have reached a fork in the road. In this unpredictable and ahead of its time buddy comedy,
Starting point is 00:44:25 the trio choose vastly different paths. Billy pursues a football career, Michael hitchhikes across America, and Frank moves to Australia to work with platypuses. But collectively, they have the time of their lives. Well finally, an American soldier meets a British woman after the Great War. They quickly fall in love, but their time is short because the soldier is ordered to return to America. The young woman's family forbids her to leave, so they are forced to spend what time they have left having the time of their lives.
Starting point is 00:44:54 There's a few war-related ones. I guess it is from 1946. The war just ended. Yeah. So you've got the cuckoo clock Schindler's List. You've got the the cuckoo clock schindler's list uh you've got the the love story about the the uh clothing uh clothing company lovers you got the prankster ghosts from the american civil war being falsely accused of being traitors. Then you've got the three slackers
Starting point is 00:45:26 choosing different paths. And then you've got the American soldier meeting the British woman, but she's forbid to move to America with her new partner. I'm going to go with the clock one because it seems just weird enough. But also, it sounds like a movie
Starting point is 00:45:44 they put out in 1946. Right was the clock one that's just weird enough what one was too weird or the yeah the buddy cop one i was like i don't think they made buddy cop movies until 48 hours but it was so uh in not intense but in uh in the the like they wrote like it was really the yeah the thing that's why i was intricate yeah there you go yeah it was in something intricate is what i was looking for i've been overwritten you reckon ah yeah it's too good which one are you thinking okay you said there's the clock what else you got the clocks you got the young uh clothing brand couple lovers you got the the prankster ghost from the American Civil War
Starting point is 00:46:26 who come back and find a letter from George Washington. You've got the three slackers in the buddy comedy. One moves to Australia to work with platypuses. And then you've got... I feel like Matt wrote that one.
Starting point is 00:46:41 I would have picked that one until I heard platypuses. And then you've got American soldier meeting a British woman, but he's not allowed to go home with her. Oh, no, she's not allowed to go home with him because her family forbids it. I feel like that's Tom. But you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go with the – because I think – here's my line of thinking. Follow me now
Starting point is 00:47:05 Follow me Okay I like it Because you came to California Yeah You went to the Laker game last night So you're like dude How can I repay Tom I do his podcast
Starting point is 00:47:12 What else can I do Have a question about Ghost It's the ghost one It's like you're paying homage I didn't even Wow That was a long way around
Starting point is 00:47:23 I went like When I heard it I said It was It's not It's not what I liked at all. But when I heard Ghost, I said, he probably picked that. I love it. Because we just did. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Funny, scary. And I think sometimes we do this because I like how you two haven't been picking each other's, but you reckon you know each other's writing for an extra three points each. You guess which one's Tom's, and Tom, you guess which one's tom's and tom you guess which one's the sean's um yeah so you've got uh the cuckoo clock one okay which i guess you think is real so you're probably not also gonna okay they got the uh the young couple in love who were trying to get a clothing brand going that one that. That one's Deshawn's? I think so. All right. And then, Deshawn, what are you thinking? The war one.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Yeah, so you reckon that one? Okay. I love it. Do you have logic for that one as well? Because it's war. What, three of them were war related? But love, and they couldn't be together, and then he had a divorce. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:48:24 I don't know is this in there all right well let's go through who wrote the answers one that no one picked in any way either for the real one or for each other's was one about slacky slackers billy michael and frank uh and the the buddy comedy that was the house and that that is uh fully built around Green Day. There's a Billy Joe, Mike Dern, and Trey Cool's real name is Frank, apparently. And they, because they wrote a song called Time of Your Life or whatever. And there's a line in it, Fork in the Road.
Starting point is 00:48:57 There's a song on that album called Platypus, I Hate You. Anyway, there's a lot of, I'm like someone out, I thought Tom, you might might have i wasn't sure yeah yeah yeah i had an inkling there was a film clip on that uh album where they played uh gridiron football yeah so just every bit of that was just picked up and hitchhike there's a song called yep hitchhike or something hitching a ride anyway um yeah so no one got went anywhere near that one um now tom thought deshawn wrote a
Starting point is 00:49:28 love story of a young couple learning how to sell their brand of clothing and tom was correct that's three points to tom there what a jerk uh tom went for the one about the swiss cuckoo clock maker albert mascherini uh that was badger aka the house damn it badger uh, Albert Mascherini. That was Badger, a.k.a. The House. Damn it, Badger. Albert Mascherini is the name of one of my ancestors who came to me. I added that in for a little bit of extra spice. Deshawn, you thought Tom wrote the one about the British woman after the Great War. Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:01 And you were correct. Yes. That's amazing. Your logic there was so spot on but we both we both knew each other yeah that was that was so perfect and that means the shorn is also correct who pranks the ghosts from the american civil war are falsely accused of being traitors it's because of that that was the reason i said look and you were totally your logic was so right and I think
Starting point is 00:50:26 subconsciously that's exactly why I picked it. I was like, it has to be. He came to do scary funny. Yeah. Good job. Wait, does that mean he beat me? It's close in the end. It is close. I'll just quickly tell you
Starting point is 00:50:42 it's actually a Abbott and Costello film which I hadn't heard of and I'm like I wonder if it's more famous over here or something but I mean it's from the 1940s but it's got it's pretty well liked 80%
Starting point is 00:50:57 approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from the audience and a review by Danielle Solzman reads the time of their lives may stray away from the typical Abbott and Costello formula, but this film still draws laughs some 75 years later. I kind of want to watch it now. Yeah, I reckon it does sound, it sounds ridiculous, but sort of fun.
Starting point is 00:51:16 All right, so here's our final score check. Let's just, I've just got to carry the two here. The metric one At the end of the game It's really tight Two points separating all three of us On six points It's Tom
Starting point is 00:51:35 On eight points Damn it It's Deshawn Also on eight points The houses are tied Deshawn and the house Equal winners this week So close.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I told you just like in track, I'd always come back and tag from the clouds. You scored all eight points in the last two rounds. I'm a comeback runner, baby. My block start was trash. So close. I had such a lead with two rounds to go. I thought we were definitely losing to you. I was beating you by seven points with two rounds to go.
Starting point is 00:52:06 And you ended up tying eight all. Well played. I hope you had fun. I love playing it with... It's a different angle on it as well. Being able to ask some questions that would be... Most people in Australia would know what hard yucca means.

And is like Hollywood's here for like mainstream movies. Is this sort of, is it porn Hollywood also in LA in la yeah yeah oh yeah yeah right the san fernando valley is where they make all the porn there you go yeah i've seen one uh like two days ago one of the porn girls that i i just happened to figure it out because she was walking her dog and i said hey you

We left the gate open because I'm a security freak. So I have gates upon gates upon gates coming to my house.
Starting point is 01:03:35 And we left the gate open. We had a pumpkin out. And we had like, you know, little trail candles coming to the front door. And we just sat there dressed up on the couch watching TV waiting for trick-or-treaters and two sad like tweens came up and
Starting point is 01:03:53 I remember the one girl goes oh look at the sad lonely adults. It was like almost nine o'clock and we still had all our candy. We're like just take all of this. This can't be here. That's rough. That's rough for them too, that age.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Do I still go? Do I not go? That's heartbreaking from all angles, that story. What age do you stop trick-or-treating? What age do you think is appropriate to stop trick-or-treating? It's only just started becoming a thing in Australia. Really? Yeah, recently.
Starting point is 01:04:23 You didn't trick-or-treat when you were a kid? No. My whole life, I probably have had three knocks on the door, but I think it's happening more and more now. I missed it, unfortunately, because I think it's a fun holiday. I love how much in the multiple cities I've been in, every city's got decorations everywhere. You should drive by,
Starting point is 01:04:47 you should take them by Toluca Lake because Toluca Lake does it right. Well, we can't drive in there because they kind of block it all off and most of the houses participate. And some of them have actual, they turn their house or they build a haunted house. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Yeah. It's kind of awesome. There's a couple places in Burbank that do that too. It's like, it's Christmas. Yeah, it's like spooky Christmas. Yeah. Because then people go all out on the decorations and stuff. Yeah, because Tol kind of awesome. There's a couple places in Burbank that do that too. It's like, it's Christmas. Yeah, it's like spooky Christmas. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Because people go all out on the decorations and stuff. Yeah, the Toluca Lake is rich. You're starting to see that a bit in Melbourne. Like, there's a few houses on our street where I live that there is decorations. But yeah, you know, I'd say we're 50 years behind probably. So what you're saying is you guys don't believe on knocking on a stranger's door and getting stranger's candy? Oh, weird. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors
Starting point is 01:05:39 like high blood pressure developed during pregnancy, which can put us two times more at risk of heart disease or stroke. Know your risks.
