Welcome to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart and our first guest is host of the brand new show, Sunburnt Screens, the Australian cinema odyssey.
Starting point is 00:01:12 It's Alexei Toliopoulos. Season's greetings, everybody. Merry Christos and a happy New Year-os. Wow. This episode will come out on Christmas day I think so That is very very appropriate Unless anyone listens to it At any other time
Starting point is 00:01:34 Well you know they've got that little week period Where you can go Christmas, New Years It's a holiday festive season babe But also did you say Seasons Greek Kings Seasons Greek Kings I don't know It's a holiday festive season, babe But also, did you say seasons Greek kings? Seasons Greek kings Yeah So is it that?
Starting point is 00:01:49 I don't know Just a festive Is that the only one you picked up every second word he said was a Greek king? Merry Christos and a Happy New Year, Ross Yeah, yeah, yeah But I'm just, yeah Just wanted to clarify that Or just so you understand what he was referencing
Starting point is 00:02:02 Because you implied that it was a very genuine How appropriate that it's Christmas. But I feel like seasons Greek kings is appropriate all year round. That's true. That's a really good point. I can say whenever I'm allowed to, you guys, you can't say that kind of shit. I can't say the word Greek any time of the year.
Starting point is 00:02:20 What do you want to go out for dinner? Greek? I'm saying. Ew, yuck. How is Sunburned Screens going, Lex? Oh, wonderful, darling. Wonderful. The response has been very passionate.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Truly, it's been really nice because I think the last time I did the podcast, it had either just come out or was yet to come out, but it has far exceeded not only my expectations but any of my hopes and dreams. Wow. And just very briefly for people who don't know it, it's all about Australian cinema.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Yeah, it's all about Australian cinema. I'm interviewing many of the great filmmakers this country has ever produced, birthed and raised into wonderful filmmakers. It's an audio journey through Australian film. But it's been awesome. I've been getting a lot of messages from people discovering films for the first time, which is my mission on this fucking planet to help connect people to their movies.
Starting point is 00:03:13 You mean that people are tuning in who don't know what films are in general? They're learning about movies for the first time? Yeah. What are you talking about? I'm prying open a lot of eyes with this podcast, which is what I've hoped. A lot of people are audio first, and now I'm helping them get into the visual medium too.
Starting point is 00:03:31 That's really good stuff. Our second guest this week is from ABC's Question Everything and is about to be touring with me on our show, or for our show, Dryer Dryer. It's Saran Jayamana. Happy shrilly season yes and a big currymas to you
Starting point is 00:03:49 none better than this time of year I didn't have very long to come up with that and I'm not and a happy paneer and a happy paneer he's got a real talent you don't have the right to say it But it's pretty good It's pretty good
Starting point is 00:04:05 I was riding for you in that moment Let the record show I was hired as a rider for Soren And Soren We're going to be heading to Perth In January Very soon And then we're going
Starting point is 00:04:17 Where else are we going? We're going to Adelaide We'll be back in Melbourne For the Comedy Festival And then Brisbane So exciting We'll probably figure out Maybe some way to
Starting point is 00:04:24 Some way to do it in Sydney as well We have to We have to We have to We gotta We gotta get up there See Lex Yeah
Starting point is 00:04:30 No no no You shall never Enter my fair city And our third guest this week I hope he's come up With something here His host of Multiple Sands Pants
Starting point is 00:04:42 Radio shows It's Jackson Bailey Murray Mayonnaise It's host of multiple Sands Pants radio shows. It's Jackson Bailey. Merry mayonnaise. Dry chicken. White bread Christmas. To one and all. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I had even less time well I think you did very well I think I performed admirably considering the circumstances once you get a white bread Christmas it almost was one thank God I didn't know it Alexi was not bothering to write for you I got no help It's just beautiful to see us all Celebrate our diverse cultures Exactly That's so true I think it's not super clear What your culture is there Jackson
Starting point is 00:05:34 Dry chicken Dry chicken and mayonnaise On white bread That's uh That's my culture Sandwich culture Alright the way the show works Is I ask a relatively obscure trivia question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I then read their answers as well as the real one. And I have to guess which one is correct. First question comes from listener Timmers Murphy from Rockville. And the question is, what does Bailey's Beads mean? The home of rock and roll. Yeah. It doesn't say whereabouts, but that is the home of rock, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:06:07 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably from hell itself, I reckon. The birthplace of rock and roll. So the question is, what does Bailey's Beads mean? What does Bailey's Beads mean? And while you're writing those answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. So you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestants,
Starting point is 00:06:29 and another point if you correctly guessed the answer. And by the way, I'm also playing as the house, and I've put in two of my own fake answers for each question with the help of the question writers, and I get a point for each one of these that our guests choose. So each of us can score up to three points per round, which seems fair, but the probability actually favors me, the house. And that is part of the reason why in the final round where everyone else gets triple points, I still only get single points.
Starting point is 00:06:52 So stop campaigning to kill the house, all right? I'm sick of it. There's a lot of hate for the house out there. I like the house. I appreciate that. I'm pro the house. I need that. And I like casinos, too.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Let the casino win for once. You love the man as well, don't you? The man rocks. He's underappreciated the man. He's just trying to keep it all together, you know? Exactly. He's doing his best. He's doing his best to keep everybody afloat
Starting point is 00:07:16 and we're being so freaking rude to that guy, you know? I'm here for the man. I appreciate that. Finally, someone said it. Yeah. 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
Starting point is 00:07:29 Slash do go on pod Which is linked in the show notes By the way I'm trying to revolutionise the way people use show notes I reckon people aren't clicking on the links in show notes Okay what do you propose? I've been proposing a new thing that all australian podcasts should do we should be incentivizing show notes so i've been putting easter eggs easter egg links in show notes clicking onto it to find different things related to perhaps
Starting point is 00:07:57 the conversations we've had on the podcast so for example i recently had a show note link That took you to a gif Of Paul Giamatti getting laid in a movie That's awesome That's smart What movie was that? I think actually it was the TV show Billions I think it's the only time Paul McCartney
Starting point is 00:08:19 Paul Giamatti ever got a nut away in a film I think it's Early in the show Billions That's great That is smart I think You know yeah The show notes
Starting point is 00:08:29 Under No but I'm not Looking at them In the podcast I listen to I don't care No A lot of people
Starting point is 00:08:34 Don't even know How to access them They don't know How to access them You need to click The episode title Of the episode You're listening to
Starting point is 00:08:40 Or maybe scroll up And you'll see The show notes there A lot of people Don't know what they are This little The greatest bit About this is it's going into the show notes. Exactly. This gets cut out of the episode.
Starting point is 00:08:55 All right, the answers are in for question number one. What does Bailey's Beads mean? A topical honey-based treatment for sunburn. A unique way of serving ice cream as popularized by Scottish chef Alice Bailey. A unique light pattern seen just before or after a solar eclipse. A delicious cocktail. It's your classic bubble tea
Starting point is 00:09:14 but revved up with a shot of Bailey's, often consumed by people before the use of anal beads. Wow. Whoa. That's really interesting. Okay. A sweet bread delicacy from Bailey, wait. That's really interesting. Okay. A sweet bread delicacy from Bailey, Idaho. The name came about after a spelling error on a local bakery sandwich board.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Or a type of tapioca pearl used in bobbin milk tea drinks flavored with Bailey's Irish cream. Okay. Wow. So two very similar ones It could be one of those It seems unlikely If I'm honest I'm gonna go
Starting point is 00:09:55 I'm gonna put it I'm gonna select the Lycho one I feel like that's the goal there Alright Lycho projection Yeah that feels That feels right Yeah well I'm tempted by
Starting point is 00:10:06 either the anal okay yeah yeah bailey's irish cream the other belly's irish cream drink uh based on the classic asian style boba milk tea yeah um both of them you know that they're both there it's quite suspicious but i would maybe go I'm going to go for the lights too. I believe that it would be an Aurora Balealis type thing. Yeah, I think, I mean, I don't think, I think you could probably drink Bailey's Eats, regardless of what kind of activities you're about to engage in. But I... But then, I I mean that's just a culture
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah I think Bailey's does feel like an anal drink I don't know what that means really But it does feel like a drink You could have If you really like It's already flouting some rules Yeah
Starting point is 00:10:57 Drink it in reverse sort of thing No no I just think If I see somebody drinking Bailey's I'm like They might also be having anal sex Okay Somehow they seem slightly synonymous In some way Yeah okay It's interesting If I see somebody drinking Baileys, I'm like, they might also be having anal sex. Okay. Somehow they seem slightly synonymous in some way.
Starting point is 00:11:08 It's interesting. Well, that's what I always say about Baileys. It's a chocolate milkshake. Early, slimy, yum. I think, just to be different, I think it could be the ice cream popularized by chef. Scottish chef Alice Bailey. All right. Locking that in for a second.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Okay. So here's who wrote the answers. Type of tapioca pearl used in boba milk tea drinks. That was Alexei Tolyopoulos. Okay. I like this subtle correction of my pronunciation of boba milk. You're thinking about Boba Fett there. The iconic bounty hunter.
Starting point is 00:11:51 It's spelled the same, isn't it? Give me a break. Well, what a bounty it is if he just goes around collecting bubble tea. I always thought that was bubble tea, but it's Boba tea. Well, you can get bubble. Sometimes they're called bubble tea. I think bubble is the anglicized thing. Yeah, you can get bubble. Sometimes they're called bubble tea.
Starting point is 00:12:07 I think bubble is the anglicized thing. Yeah, they're wired up for freaks like you, mate. They're wired up for a few freaks. And again, I'd like to say, Jax and I agree with what you said before. Go the man. Yeah, go the man. Go dry chicken. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Our culture. Dry chicken. Yeah, Our culture. Dry chicken. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never even knew. Well, as I actually, you might not know this, but I'm actually 116th Swiss Italian. Okay, fair enough. That's a pretty, I got a pretty interesting DNA backstory. I'd love to take you through it at some point.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Wow. The only guy with a single helix of DNA. The only guy with a single helix of DNA. So the sweet bread delicacy from Bailey, Idaho, which came about because of a spelling error. So instead of bread, it was bead. That was the fine work of timbers, aka the house. Nicely done, Tim. And I thought in the room, timbers deserve more.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Yeah, okay, fair enough. It was a well-crafted answer. I mean, I'll say that much. Probably work better written down. Delicious cocktail that you drink before anal beating yourself or others. That was Saran Jayamana. Wow, okay. Saran, we're on a similar wavelength.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Just slightly more perverted than yours. Yeah, Saran added a little more spice than his. Topical honey-based treatment for sunburn. I don't think this got mentioned again. That was Jackson B. Bailey himself. Sort of a stinker. That's all right. You can't win them all.
Starting point is 00:13:38 I thought it was quite a belief. That was probably the other one that was most believable. I don't know, because neither Sir Ron nor Alexi even gave it a look. They didn't. That's right. Unique way of serving ice cream, popularised by Scottish chef Alice Bailey. Saran went for that. That was also Timmer's. Well done. Meaning the correct answer is
Starting point is 00:13:55 Timmer's, you shall rue the day for betraying my friend Saran. That means the correct answer is a unique light pattern seen just before or after a solar eclipse. Oh, yeah. Jackson and Alexei. I heard either just before or after anal sex as well, you've only seen this light pattern.
Starting point is 00:14:15 So that means one point for Jackson, one point for the house, and one point for Alexei Toliopoulos. Feels good. It softens the surprise Because you're seeing The amazing Light display
Starting point is 00:14:29 And you're like Wow And then you Second surprise Whoa That's a surprise beating I don't know How that's really possible
Starting point is 00:14:38 Where did that come from? Well the night is young. We'll see how we go. I hope you've had enough Baileys. All right, question number two. This one comes from James H. from CA slash USA. I don't know if that's California, USA or Canada slash USA. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:15:03 James's question is, what is the name of the founder of the cosmetics company Max Factor? Obviously, a slightly interesting name. Okay. Can you repeat it? What is the name of the founder of the cosmetics company Max Factor? Is that the London look? No, that's Rimmel, which is more beady.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I think I've just got beads on the mind. No, that's Rimmel, which is more beady. I think I've just got beads on the mind. While you're writing your answers, here's some more info on Bailey's beads. Tim has written, paraphrasing Wikipedia, as the moon covers the sun during a solar eclipse, the rugged topography of the lunar limb, the edge of the moon as seen from a distance,
Starting point is 00:15:42 allows beads of sunlight to shine through in some places while not in others. At just the right moment during a solar eclipse, this causes several separate beams of light to shine through along the edge of the moon. It is not safe to view Bailey's beads without proper eye protection, which is the same about your anal beads,
Starting point is 00:16:01 is that right, Jackson Bailey? No, I think it's just... I think that if you're seeing the eclipse you better have a dick in your eyes i think that's the rule all right we've officially slipped over to m rating on this episode i think do you think with an eclipse you know they say you gotta wear special goggles do you reckon you could hack it i think i could hack it i think i need the goggles i think i can look at the eclipse and be fine it's just especially if it's that the lunar eclipse yeah it's the moon where it goes pitch black that one yeah no goggles needed
Starting point is 00:16:35 i don't need the goggles for that it's don't you have to cut a hole in a cardboard box or something oh yeah that is what does that do how does that? Having a hole in a bottle? You're still looking at it. I don't think I understand. I think you're allowed to squint. You can look at it, but if you're squinting, you'll probably be okay. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:52 That seems... What's it doing? The light's still getting in my eyeball. And you are more likely to be squinting if you have something in your... All right. The answers for question number two are in. What is the name of the founder of the cosmetics company Max Factor?
Starting point is 00:17:09 Cakes McCandles. Anastasia Bernadette Factor. Juan Antonio Samaranch. Maximilian Faktowitz. Fizzy Dwink or Greg? Fizzy Dwink is a really special name. Yeah, is this really special name. Yeah. Is this their actual name?
Starting point is 00:17:28 Like their birth certificate name? Or their rap? No, this is their name. What they're known as. Fizzy Dwyank. What do you think they did? Where's the Dwyank come from? What was a Dwyank back in the day?
Starting point is 00:17:40 Maybe their mom had a speech impediment. I think it's a really like slender dad. That's a dwing. That's a dwing. Fizzy twink. I hate how just before this question you were like, hey, have you know the answer? I don't feel like none of these are real. Well, it's the kind of thing that I'm like Maybe this comes up on like
Starting point is 00:18:05 You know maybe one of you is a big Cosmetics I don't know I just thought this is the kind of one That maybe you would know Anyway Yeah I can only really remember Fizzy Dwink
Starting point is 00:18:15 Can you just name them again? Cakes McCandles That seems unlikely Anastasia Bernadette Factor Juan Antonio Samaranch Maximilian Faktovits, Fizzy Dwink, or Greg? Okay. I'm still trying to think, how would we know this?
Starting point is 00:18:35 How would anyone know this one? I didn't, look, to be honest, I didn't know. Don't ruin the quiz, Alexi. Pre-knowledge. Okay. Maybe the head of the IOC, International Olympics Committee, also was the founder of cosmetics. Cakes McAndles.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Yeah. Yeah, I know the name Juan Antonio Sanchez. He was the one who said the winner is Sydney, isn't he? Yeah. I'm going to go Greg. Going to go Greg? Yeah, what if it's like a sure situation? Yeah, yeah. You know, just Greg. That's all you need.
Starting point is 00:19:10 I think, yeah, the name Greg went out of fashion because of this guy. He's like, there is a Greg. There's one Greg. There's one Greg. Yeah. It seems too obvious, but I'm gonna go Fizit. No. Maximilian Faktoaktovich, please.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Okay. What's my name for Seren? What about you, Len? I shall go for Anastasia. After all, it is my mother's name. So it would be an honor for me to pay tribute to one of the greatest women that's ever lived. And your mum.
Starting point is 00:19:40 On this podcast. We've talked about anal beads earlier. All right. Here's who wrote the answers. Cakes McCandles. That was the house. As was Fizzy Dwink. House.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Not tried. Juan Antonio Samaranch. That was Alexi. That's a great name. Wow. That's really good. It's one of the great names. It's one of the greatest names I've ever heard.
Starting point is 00:20:06 The Olympics has great names. The other great Olympic boss name was Dick Pound. Whoa. Isn't that one of the great names? That's really special. That's a really special name. So good. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:19 So that means- Not bad after a Bailey's Beads. Yes. One of you is correct. But it's not Alexi. Anastasia Bernadette Factor. That was Jackson Bailey. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Greg, which Jackson went for. That was Saran. Damn it. Meaning Saran is correct. It's Maximilian Factorvitz. Yes. What the hell? That's the fakest name I've ever heard in my goddamn life.
Starting point is 00:20:41 I nearly, as my answer, put Maximilian Factory. That's crazy. Isn't that wild? That's like a cartoon's name. What the fuck? What about Fizzy Dweak? Fizzy Dweak is the best name of the bunch. Well, the point is, I'm like, it can't be a normal sounding name.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Otherwise, why would the question be asked? Yeah, that's true. Good point. All right. That means Saran has rocketed up the board with two points that round. Saran, I've got a tear of pride twinkling in the corner of my eyes for you right now. Jackson also has a point there. So after two rounds, it's Alexi in the house on one point apiece.
Starting point is 00:21:21 But out in front on two points, it's Jackson and Saran. Oh, yeah. All right. Question three comes from Cade. It says it's made with a K. So it could also be make. From Minneapolis slash... Is that Cade in brackets? It's made with a K.
Starting point is 00:21:43 So it's Cade a K so it's paid but it could also it could be you could be make it could be McKinney they're from Minneapolis or just telling you how words work you know it's a word that's made with a K it's got a K in it that's how it's made it's made with it mate it's made with a k
Starting point is 00:22:09 it's also made with an a and a d and an e but that probably goes with that same made with a k out of the factory alright so kade's question is Bing Crosby released a single with lewis jordan in the 1940s
Starting point is 00:22:28 what are the names of the a and b side so basically you just got to name two songs two songs that were released by bing crosby and lewis jordan in the 1940s i think lewis jordan was like a sort of a jazz band leader if If that helps. Or it probably doesn't. And Bing Crosby is like a classic crooner. No, more swing, sorry. He was known as the king of the jukebox. While you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more about Maximilian Faktowicz. According to James, he says, maybe this is a fun fact,
Starting point is 00:23:03 Polish-American Maximilian Faktowicz was for giving starlets their signature looks. This was one of his big things. His most iconic works include Jean Harlow's Platinum Hair, Clara Bow's Bob, Lucille Ball's False Lashes and Red Curls, and Joan Crawford's Hunter's Bow Bow or Overdrawn Lips. All right, the answer in for question number three. Bing Crosby released a single with Louis Jordan in the 1940s. What are the names of the A and B sides?
Starting point is 00:23:34 Blowing Out My Whistle Hole. That's the A side. And Doobie Doobie Doo It's Swell To Sit With You. That's the B side there. Okay. Option two. I'm Not The Axeman Of New Orleans. And Big Daddy's Trombone. it with you it's the b side there okay uh option two i'm not the ax man of new orleans and big daddy's trombone no sorry daddy's big trombone okay there is a world of difference but is it
Starting point is 00:23:53 yeah well there i mean i thought big daddy's got a trombone or just regular size daddy has a big trombone he probably he probably has a regular size one as well i'd be more are you more scared of big daddy with his regular size trombone or regular daddy with a big trombone? I think I'm scared of Big Daddy. Really? I'm scared of the big trombone. He's wielding that around.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Trying to fit it through a door. He's just a regular size man. He's in trouble with a trombone that big. That's true. Option three is, Yip, yip, da hooty, my baby said yes. With the B side, your socks don't match. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Option four, I like the ladies. That's A side. B side, I like the fellas just as much. Oh, buy Crosby. Buy Crosby. We're ascribing to the buy Crosby theory here. All right. He's being curious.
Starting point is 00:24:42 We're ascribing to the Buy Crosby theory here. All right. He's being curious. Second last option you got. A-side, Chestnut Frenzy. B-side, Can't Find My Shoes So I Can't Go Home. Or finally, A-side, White Christos. And B-side, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christos.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Wow, White Christos. Wow, white Christos. Love to meet that guy. Okay, all awesome sounding songs.

There was doobie doobie doo, it's swell to sit with you, and yip yip da hootie, my baby said yes. with you And yip yip da hootie My baby said yes

Starting point is 00:25:55 But none of those words Were made with a K That's true What was the The big trombone? I'm not the Axeman of New Orleans And daddy's big trombone Yeah I'm going to lock that in
Starting point is 00:26:12 Lock that one in Alright well here's who wrote the answers Can't believe this one didn't even get discussed White Christos And it's beginning to look a lot like Christos Versus the syringe Imana Interesting That's a little tribute to my It's beginning to look a lot like Christos. That was the Saranjaya mana. Interesting. That was a little tribute to my...
Starting point is 00:26:29 The son of my favourite woman in the world, Anastasia. Thank you. Thank you, Saran. Thank you. Christos was a company that used to do Christmas hampers, wasn't it? Am I remembering that? Christos Christmas hampers? That's Christo.

Oh, Crisco. Is that a company that used to do Greek Christmas hampers? But that's Crisco. Crisco is short for the Christos Company. Angle-sized Christos. Crisco. Making the Christmas hampers.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Chestnut Friendly. Sorry, Chestnut Frenzy. Can't find my shoes, so I can't go home. That was Jackson Bailey. Chestnut Frenzy Can't find my shoes so I can't go home That was Jackson Bailey Chestnut Frenzy, talk me through it Well, I was just sort of imagining Well, you know, it's what it says on the tin You're going crazy on the chestnuts
Starting point is 00:27:15 Yeah, yeah I don't know why I decided they were Christmas themed I don't know, because that's what I was kind of doing for some reason That was not part of the initiative Yeah, Bing Crosby He does love the carols Why Christmas? Of course, famous for it Yeah, that's true for some reason. That was not part of the initiative. He does love a carol, what I was thinking. Why Christmas? Of course, famous for it.
Starting point is 00:27:28 That's true. I like how in Saran's world, he weed out his own songs. Now that's a genius to do your own and then the parody? That's very smart. Savvy, if you will. Wait,
Starting point is 00:27:44 where's the other? No, I've already guessed. Sorry. I like the ladies. I like the fellas just as much. That was Alexei Taliopoulos. That's great. Bye, Crosby.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Bye, Crosby. Yeah, I thought of the joke first. I go, well, how can I team myself up for this one? You wrote the first one and you're like no that's a bit a bit too much bill cosley yeah uh so alexi went for blowing out my whistle hole doobie doobie do it swell to sit with you that was the house wow the house i was inspired it's swell to sit with you i was inspired by the acdc song Can I sit next to you girl I almost just used that straight up
Starting point is 00:28:27 Which I think is such a funny name for an ACDC song It does fit Bing's world Yeah big time That was going third base back in Bing's day Sitting next to a girl So Rowan went for I'm not the axe man of New Orleans Big daddy's trombone
Starting point is 00:28:45 That was Cade Made with a K A.K.A. The house Made with a K He likes to sit next to the men Because he thinks He likes to
Starting point is 00:28:53 You just sit next to them That's all you have to do Third base And that means Jackson is correct Yip yip da hooty My baby said yes And your socks don't match
Starting point is 00:29:03 You're actually really close Your B side was can't find my shoes So I can't go home That's both foot related Well I think back in the day in the 1940s That was a big concern It was actually also very sexy back then An uncovered foot
Starting point is 00:29:18 Whoa look out dude Fourth base is seeing a foot So that round it is two points to the house one point to Jackson Bailey. This is a hot game. Oh it's hot. It's spicy dude. So we are on to question
Starting point is 00:29:36 number four which comes from Ashley Botkin from Richmond, Virginia in the United States. Ashley's question is what happened on the 15th of September 1896 in McLennan County, Texas? What happened on the 15th of September, 1896 in McLennan County, Texas? While you're writing your answers, here's a little more info about Yip Yip Da Hootie, My Baby Said Yes, slash Your Socks Don't Match. This is a moderately popular song by Bing Standard
Starting point is 00:30:04 anyway, reaching number 14 on the US chart. Would have been a huge hit for anyone else, but he had 41 number ones. That's crazy. If you look at his discography and how it charted in America, it's just like you're scrolling for ages and it's all top 20 songs.
Starting point is 00:30:19 I feel like he didn't have a miss. Every song charted up high. What was your Socks Don't Match? Was it bad? Was it like, oh, the lady I want to bone down with, her Socks Don't Match, get out of my house? Or was it like, that's awesome, your Socks Don't Match? Yeah. Or was he just like, I don't know, just talking about, just like sort of shooting the shit?
Starting point is 00:30:38 That's what I did not even think to look it up. Like, why is that worthy of a song to write? Okay. even think to look it up like why is that worthy of a song to write okay i was i was gonna um kade said um oh the the reason why kade put this question is because he's having a housewarming party coming up that he's for some reason done as foot themed okay so it's a lot of foot based puns nice like he's serving doritos and toasty and Tomatoes on toast with pesto and prosciutto. I think if I had a friend, no disrespect to Cade, I think if I had a friend who invited me to a party like this,
Starting point is 00:31:15 I would be like, are you okay, man? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is, yeah. Do a welfare check on him, yeah. Also, there's a lot more to the foot than toes. You're right, it's more of a toe to the foot than toes you're right it's more of a toe theme that you're doing there kade so yeah apparently he came across this song when researching his uh foot based playlist that's why i went with the socks but he said he's he reckons
Starting point is 00:31:35 that uh weird people are going to automatically assume it's a sex thing yeah um weird people i mean but he's also said that yeah there's no better time to alienate all your friends and acquaintances than at a housewarming party. That's true. Just to establish precedent. I always say that I think it would be awesome to be, like, about the size of an iPhone, just to be like a little guy. And everybody always thinks that's a sex thing.
Starting point is 00:31:58 But I just think that would improve my life tenfold if I was that big. With a regular-sized trombone? Yeah. If I had a regular trombone, I could live in a regular sized trombone. But how big's your daddy? Here's the lyrics, okay, to the song. I'm reading them as I'm reading them.
Starting point is 00:32:14 So I still have no idea. Yeah, this is the first time anyone's hearing them. Yes. We heard a chick just the other day cooling out her boyfriend in very way. She kept on asking, full of complaints, like she expected folks to be saints. She insisted that he be me. So this was her complaint complete.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Brackets, report to the nation. What the hell is this? This can't be the real lyrics. This is crazy. And then it It's just too Too Just that's the verse And then
Starting point is 00:32:48 It says I like the dimple in your chin I like the tricky way you grin Still you ain't no kind of cat Brackets You know why don't you? And finally Boy your socks don't match
Starting point is 00:33:01 What the hell was that? Number one in the charts? 14 I made it to 14 Well fair enough That's number one And it was also the B side of course The hit song
Starting point is 00:33:12 On that was Hip hip da woody Okay Yeah yeah yeah She got that booty or whatever Yeah yeah yeah Wow And Matt
Starting point is 00:33:22 Must I say In those moments I felt you were truly possessed By the spirit of Bing Crosby. The way that you were able to spin those rhymes just like him. Channeled that man, yeah. Wow. Some of it, some of those things I said weird because I stuffed it up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:38 But other parts, it was like, there was a, in asking, there's a dash between A and sking. So some of the words I said weird because that's how they're written. A sking? But then there certainly were other things where I just said it weird. Yeah, very mysterious. But like Alexi says, I was just channeling the ghost of Bing. Could I be anymore?
Starting point is 00:34:00 Bing Crosby, you might ask. All right, while you're still writing your answers Let's go for a quick break As women Our life stages come with unique risk factors Like high blood pressure Developed during pregnancy Which can put us two times more at risk of heart disease Or stroke
Starting point is 00:34:21 Know your risks Visit heartandstroke.ca. And we're back. And here is question number four. What happened on the 15th of September, 1896 in McLennan County, Texas? To entertain a large crowd, two old trains were crashed into each other head on. Millionaire Dallas rancher
Starting point is 00:34:45 J.R. Ewing was shot but by who? The oil baron J.T. Shills came home from overseas to find a man had been impersonating him for years. A duel ensued
Starting point is 00:34:55 with both men shooting each other simultaneously. A shower of unidentified wet meat. A mysterious parcel containing white powder was delivered to the county sheriff and thus salt was discovered. Or Gareth Waddleside invented sunscreen in a chemistry experiment gone wrong.
Starting point is 00:35:20 He was actually intending to make gold out of milk from his pet cat. Wow. wrong he was actually intending to make gold out of milk from his pet cat wow i heard sunscreen was invented by fucking up the recipe for mayonnaise but i don't know i'm pretty bad to get sunscreen i don't think a cat has enough milk really for i mean i don't know um i'm i would say the train one i'm gonna put my money i feel like i? I feel like, you know, even if it's not real, it would be an awesome thing to do. And I'm sad we don't do shit like that. And in the olden days, crowds would go out to see a train not crash.
Starting point is 00:35:52 So you can imagine the kind of crowd. A crashing train would pull. Yeah. One of them was very abrupt. A shower of unidentified wet meat. Yeah. I thought there was going to be more. Did it fall?
Starting point is 00:36:05 That's what happened Well the shower I mean it's just It's pretty efficient writing I would say I think the shower implies that it fell True Yeah What was it
Starting point is 00:36:13 Was the shower going into the air or What mysteries does it leave Oh you mean a rain shower What are the What You mean just some guy in his house He's like hey let me turn the hot a guy in his house has it it's like hey let me turn the hot a little bit on more oh god it's snacks snacks and pee
Starting point is 00:36:30 balloons are falling out of my shower and you know you can't get the the thing quite right the ratio between hot and cold wet meat so Jackson's going for the train crash Yeah So Ram what are you thinking? Are you thinking wet mate? Was it the very first one? No I'm not thinking
Starting point is 00:36:49 The first one was the train crash Oh second one sorry Millionaire Dallas Rancher J.R. Ewing Oh the jewel The jewel Yeah That was oil baron J.T. Shills Came home from overseas
Starting point is 00:37:01 Found a man impersonating him They had a jewel And both men ended up shooting each other simultaneously yeah I'm gonna look that in look that one in too much detail
Starting point is 00:37:12 for that one I reckon get to the point how wet was the meat that's all you need to know I'm gonna go train as well I'm trained because I think that would be in what year was this shit
Starting point is 00:37:23 like 1993 or something that would be very spectacular they were dueling in the late 90s 1896 yeah that'll have game boys they don't even have TV shows or anything that's so exciting to see to try and to. They're about to discover. Very soon, yeah. All right. Here's where I wrote the answers. The guy who milked his cat into sunscreen, that was that.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Wow. Okay. Yeah. Wow. I thought that's the kind of thing that might have happened around that time. People were milking cats. Is cat juice part of sunscreen? Because I get,
Starting point is 00:38:03 every now and then I get sunscreen in my eyes and it really stings. I'm wondering if that's cat juice. Just like cat juice? Mmm, it could be cat juice. Just like cat milk. Hang on. I changed- Initially I had cat's piss.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Yeah, okay. Which is what they used to try and turn piss into gold all the time. Yeah, I would have believed that way more. But you're not accident- Piss isn't turning into sunscreen. It needed to be milkier. Piss is full of chemicals. I was thinking sunscreen's
Starting point is 00:38:28 quite milky. I need something milkier. I don't have to change too much here if I just change piss to milk. The creature stays the same. The liquid changes. That's it. How far past... When you say that
Starting point is 00:38:42 piss... No, what did you say? Sunscreen is quite milky. How far past the use you say that... Piss. No, what did you say? Sunscreen is quite milky. How far past the use-by date are you drinking your milk? Cat milk you can drink whenever. Are you saying cat milk has a use-by date? Cat milk lost. I think cat milk has a best-by date. You're drinking from the source.
Starting point is 00:39:04 It's not going off. Might as well keep my cat in the fridge Why buy the cat when you can get the milk for free That's what I say A mysterious parcel containing white powder Thus salt was discovered That was Saran Unidentified wet meat
Starting point is 00:39:22 That was Jackson That's based on a real thing that happened in Texas. That's right. The Texas meat shower. Yeah, Texas. I mean, sorry, in Kentucky. Kentucky meat shower. The Kentucky meat shower.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Wow. I did a Do Go On episode about that. That's very funny. I love the guy who came up and he's like, that's bear. He's like, I've eaten bear before. I wrestle bears all the time. That meat is bear meat. A bear exploded on a geyser.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Goodbye. That's awesome. That's awesome. That is awesome. And I'm surprised that they didn't- Me too. You just needed a couple more words to get through. Yeah, I was too quick. Millionaire Dallas rancher J.R. Ewing was shot, but by who?
Starting point is 00:39:57 That was Alexi. There you go. Did you get the year right? Yeah, but who gives a shit? I don't care about fucking anything To relate to Texas except for the TV show Dallas that I've never seen one second of Who shot JR
Starting point is 00:40:11 And it was the guy who was JR Was like the guy from Bewitched Or I Dream of Jeannie or something right Yeah probably Yeah some of that shit You're a big screen guy not a little screen guy I don't know about TV man I don't know about TV I know the big screen stuff.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Is it true that you've got no time for TV? I got no time for TV. But I will tell you this. Larry Hagman, who played that character, he's also in the movie Primary Colors. That's where I know him from. Larry Hagman is such a great name. The John Travolta Bill Clinton comedy, Primary Colors. That's how I know him from Larry Hagman is such a great name The John Travolta Bill Clinton comedy Primary Colours
Starting point is 00:40:48 That's how I know him Bill Clinton He's playing Bill Clinton John Travolta plays a Bill Clinton-esque character He was also in I Dream of Jeannie For the little screen fans out there and I know we have a few half our audience actually
Starting point is 00:41:08 are full small screen devotees and will not step foot in a cinema the other half of course being cinephiles and it's one of the few podcasts that brings those two disparate groups together that's true
Starting point is 00:41:24 I usually shun half this audience i will never i'll never win them over it's okay i know it um all right wait what are we talking about okay yes so so ren went for the oil baron jt shields uh with the jewel that was ashley aka the house well done ashley i'm meaning the correct answer was Ashley A.K.A. The House Well done Ashley Meaning the correct answer was To entertain a large crowd Two old trains were crashed Into each other head on That's good stuff
Starting point is 00:41:50 Do it today Yeah bring it back We probably got trains we don't use That's the jewel I was talking about Dueling trains at dawn I challenge you to a jewel So Jackson and Alexi Trains at dawn. I challenge you to a duel. Doot, doot. So, Jackson and Alexei and the house all get points in that round.
Starting point is 00:42:20 And, yeah, so the thing that Alexei clarified to me was it's not Junior Ewing. He's, like, sent another message saying, just to be clear, it's J.R. Ewing, not Junior Ewing it's like sent another missing just to be clear it's J.R. Ewing not Junior Ewing I mean I listen to this podcast I was ready to go you gotta call this guy J.R. Ewing or something like that but also because of what I was actually gonna do because you wrote it in separate things And that your answer ends in a question So I was going to read it out as
Starting point is 00:42:48 Millionaire Dallas rancher J.R. Ewing was shot But by who? J.R. Like it answered his own question That's what I thought you meant So you were It was good that we clarified the clarification Alright Here's question number five This one comes from Paul McNally From Waterford Island It was good that we clarified the clarification. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Here's question number five. This one comes from Paul McNally from Waterford Island. I wonder if there's any relation to Rand. So I think it's something I heard on The Simpsons one time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't really know what it means, but the name sticks with me. Rand McNally. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:24 So Paul's question is what unusual world record does jose maria olazable hold while you're writing your answers here's some more info about the train crash uh according to ashley the event is now commonly referred to as the crash at crush it's actually uh dave ornike did a a bonus episode about this uh on the dugong patreon if anyone wants to hear it in more detail but anyway in in brief a fake town was set up for the day named crush in texas surprisingly not because uh the fact that it was going to be where the two trains would crush each other and it has the beautiful name Crash It Crush. It was actually just a coincidence, because the general passenger agent of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad was named William George Crush, and it was named after him.
Starting point is 00:44:15 An estimated 40,000 people attended the event, making Crush the second largest city in Texas during its short-lived time. In a freak accident, sort of, the impact caused both boilers to explode. I guess the sort of there is because, I mean, they purposely crashed two trains into each other, so not much of a freak accident. But anyway, sort of freak accident meant both boilers exploded
Starting point is 00:44:39 and the flying debris killed two spectators and wounded many more. A photographer at the event lost an eye from a flying bolt. William Crush was immediately fired by the railroad company. This was also not the first stage. Bad. Yeah, that's rough. How could he have seen?
Starting point is 00:44:57 Yeah, it would kill bystanders. Yeah. They were standing too close. Yeah. In a spot that he suggested. And that's his fault? What the hell, dude? It wasn't the first staged locomotive crash.
Starting point is 00:45:11 One was successfully staged with no death or injuries in Ohio, God's country itself, on the 30th of May, 1896. And despite the crazy crash at crush, many more staged collisions happened across the US in the years afterwards. Did they just have like a surplus of trains they didn't want anymore? I'm wondering. What are they doing? Did train technology take a leap forward around that time and they all of a sudden had all these defunct trains? Let's just fucking crash them.
Starting point is 00:45:36 How do we get rid of them? It's sick to see them smash into each other. Let's do that. Chuck them in the bin anyway. We might as well put on a little show first. Make a little cash out of this i think it'll be 40 000 so it was the second largest city in texas that day that's crazy and it wasn't and then you know the next day it was gone again wild but come on as if people wouldn't move there that's what you move to a city for is
Starting point is 00:46:00 entertainment like that the nightlife yeah it's true yeah you'd be the crash come to live it crush live a crush see the crash see the crash they call it event city yeah you know i'm surprised that's not the origin story of las vegas you know well we crashed two trains here somebody built a casino yeah yeah they have a crash boats i'd pay to see that that's a good one crashing boats that feels like a real sequel doesn't it yeah that feels like a speed two situation two scenario i think crashing boats would be good because then you get to watch them sink afterwards which i think would be kind of nice sort of meditative sort of seeing the boat that's right you don't have to worry about getting you know getting rid of the Debris
Starting point is 00:46:45 Yeah It just sorts itself out It can go on the sea floor And become a house for a crab Yes Some people think Oh you're just Trashing the ocean
Starting point is 00:46:52 No I'm providing Crab houses Affordable crab housing You imagine That's how coral is made That's what they should be doing To help the environment
Starting point is 00:47:02 Yeah Dude I like You know you throw Oh I'm throwing my Monster energy drink In the sea That's bad they should be doing to help the environment. Yeah. Dude, I'm like, you know, you throw... Oh, I'm throwing my monster energy drink in the sea. That's bad. But imagine the crab with a monster energy drink shell. Imagine the pussy that crab is getting, dude.
Starting point is 00:47:14 That crab is getting laid. That crab is drowning in crab pussy, dude. Yeah. Answers are in for question number five. What unusual world record does Jose Maria Olasabol Hold and I know that's not it I think it's Olasabol or something like that Anyway I apologise for the mispronunciation
Starting point is 00:47:31 Here are your options Longest time spent Living in an underwater house Total time was One year and fourteen days Sank a putt while flying on a Supersonic plane making it technicallyank a putt while flying on a supersonic plane, making it technically the longest putt on record.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Whoa. First person to be able to eat a full box of Weetabix without using hands. Wow. Hands free. Caught a skinned mandarin in his
Starting point is 00:48:03 mouth that was thrown from 50 yards away By a major league baseball pitcher Has the largest collection of Rubik's cubes Owned by someone who As fate would have it Has no fingers Or Youngest president of the United States of America
Starting point is 00:48:21 Wow That one is unusual That is unusual Yeah that's unexpected That's is unusual yeah that's unexpected that's an unusual that's really interesting but they might mean the band they might mean the band presidents of the united states of america or you know it could be maybe that was the birth name of you know abraham lincoln or something yeah okay yeah could be we don't know oh how could we know?
Starting point is 00:48:45 Yeah. We'll never know. We'll never know. History doesn't go back that far. I'm going to do the Rubik's Cube one. Okay. I was going to give you... Because you've been going first up,
Starting point is 00:48:59 which is you're helping out the others in some ways. There's a couple of these that... Yeah, because the Rubik's Cube has no fingers. The other one has hands free. Two of them are hands free. Weedabix was hands free. Mandarin was caught in the mouth, which is. You don't need your hands for that.
Starting point is 00:49:15 No. What was the. President. They don't need hands to be president either. How far was the baseball pitch? 50 yards. That's going to come in hot do you know about the that's just reminded me the great story about the um the the dropping a i think it was a mango or something
Starting point is 00:49:33 or peach out of a plane on a baseball field it's like a classic old baseball stunt oh this story rocks so back in like the 1920s they were like we need to do a stunt at like wrigley park like one of those you know new york or american baseball stadiums and so they got they'd run out of trains to crash into each other to come with something new so they got an aviatrix like a like a female like you know stunt pilot and they were like here's what we're gonna do this guy's like the coach of one of the teams we're gonna drop a baseball from a plane and he's gonna catch it in his mitt uh and anyway so they get the plane up there and history is unclear as to how this happened but at one they don't have a baseball so some people think that it was a prank they were pulling intentionally the aviatrix was like we
Starting point is 00:50:14 just forgot the baseball but thankfully thank thankfully we had a peach say so they dropped the peach down on the guy but he doesn't catch it Instead it lands On his head And explodes But because he thought It was a baseball He thought that he died And so he stands In the middle of the pitch And he's like I'm bleeding out
Starting point is 00:50:33 I'm dying I've been killed By a baseball Before realising That is what you would think If you've got the splatter And stuff dripping down your head You'd assume that's blood You think there's a baseball Coming from You don't think it's Liquefied baseball realize they probably forgot the baseball must be a peach or something
Starting point is 00:50:53 lick it and you'd be those moments where he was a daddy they're like I'm dead it's so funny. That is awesome. Yeah, it's good stuff. So, really, catching a mandarin in the mouth from only 50 yards. That's way more believable. How lucky is it they couldn't find the baseball? I know. Yeah, because you're right.
Starting point is 00:51:16 I thought the baseball would have hit him. And we would never know what his brains taste like. He wouldn't know if they're sweet or not. He would have just killed him immediately. I think that grapefruit saved his life, in a way. Well, that story has turned me off the pitch, the baseball pitch, catching it in the mouth. Maybe if it was a peach.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Baseball peach. A peacher. What were they again, Matt? I have no memory of any of them now. Longest time spent living underwater in an underwater house. Sinking a putt on a supersonic plane. Making it the longest putt on record. Eating a full box of Weetabix without hands.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Catching a skinned mandarin in his mouth. Largest collection of Rubik's Cubes. Owned by someone without fingers or youngest. President of the USA. So the plane one, he's just hit a normal putt across the length of the chassis of the plane. Is that what it's called? The floor. Of the floor.
Starting point is 00:52:19 But because it's flying, it's the starting point is like Mexico and the ends. Yeah, exactly. It's rolling the whole time. Yeah, because they're counting both the ball moving in the plane and the planes moving as well. Yeah, right. That sounds reasonable. The fuselage.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Fuselage, that's what it's after. I don't know. This one, I can't buy it, sir, because I've talked with Guinness officials, and they've been very... They have, weirdly, not enough sense of humour to even go... They wouldn't consider something like this, in my opinion. It does feel like cheating. To Guinness, they're not as humorous as you would hope they would be.
Starting point is 00:52:58 So that feels like too cheaty for them? I will say this, though, Alexei. It just says unusual world record it doesn't say guinness world oh wow so not guinness okay i'm not sure i'm not sure if it is or it isn't i'm just saying that's how the question is holy shit i might go for the putt one then i'm going for the putt one because i i'm i'm going putt i'm putt yeah Yeah, I think it's putt as well. All right. Lock it in putt for Lex and Saran. Who's who wrote the answers?
Starting point is 00:53:30 Longest time spent living in an underwater house for one year and 14 days. That was Jackson B. Bailey. Yeah. I thought to make that more believable, I was going to add the house was designed by a team of... And then I couldn't think of like of ex-scientists, but I couldn't think of. Ex-scientists. You know. They're certainly not doing science anymore, don't worry.
Starting point is 00:53:52 They've been kicked out of the science leagues for being too experimental. Youngest president of the US. That was Alexei Teleopoulos. Good choice. So, did you mean the bands? I don't know what they meant. I don't know. I think it's a real one.
Starting point is 00:54:08 I don't know. I think that's the right answer. You might be right. Catching a skinned mandarin in his mouth, thrown by a pitcher. That was the house. Oh, it was a mandarin. For some reason, I thought it was a baseball.
Starting point is 00:54:22 That's why I didn't pick it. Yeah. Yeah. Knock your teeth out First person ate a full box of Weetabix without using hands That was also the house I thought changing it from Weetabix to Weetabix Which was like some international version of it
Starting point is 00:54:36 I'm like That'll get them Obviously no one would have come up with that here Yeah no one in Australia is called Jose Maria That could go Then that's not what I was saying Yeah, no one in Australia is called Jose Maria. Then that's not what I was saying. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:54:57 That means that the one that Jackson went for, our largest collection of Rubik's Cubes, was written by Saran, but the correct one is Sankapt while flying on a supersonic plane. Well done. Well done, everybody. Wow. So another good round for Saran there. You're on fire, mate.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Nice. Saran's on fire. Two points for Saran. One point for Lex. So, geez, it's a close fought thing, this. After five rounds, Alexi's on three, the house is on four, Saran's on four, and Jackson's on four. Oh, my God. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Is this what happened before? I think this might be unprecedented. Can we get Guinness on the line? Yeah. Well, I mean, at least, you know, with this combination of people and these scores, it is Newgrounds. It is Newgrounds.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Yes. We don't need Guinness. That is confirmed. The record's good. You can have a record without Guinness. Thank you. That's true. As we have just established. That's true. You can have a record without Guinness. That's true. As we have just established. That's true.
Starting point is 00:55:48 All right. Two questions ago. This is question six from Claire Norris from West Sacramento. Claire Norris. And Claire's question is, Why did property developer Zipporah Lyle Mainwaring make the news in April of 2017? Zipporah Lyle Mainwaring make the news in April of 2017. Why did property developer Zipporah Lyle Mainwaring make the news in April of 2017?
Starting point is 00:56:16 While you're writing those answers, let me tell you more about the world record putt. According to Wiki, Alozabal, sorry about the pronunciation. I remember this guy, but he was a pro golfer as well. I can't remember how to say his name for some reason. Anyway, he holds the world record for distance for a completed putt during the 1999 European Ryder Cup team's Concord flight to the US. He held a
Starting point is 00:56:36 putt which travelled the full length of the cabin. The ball was in motion for 26.17 seconds during which time the Concord at 1270 miles per hour, traveled 9.232 miles, beating US golfer Brad Faxon's previous record of 8.5 miles set in 1997. There's a lot of golf happening on Concordes. I don't think this really, you know, I'm always like, golf isn't all about rich people, you know? I don't think this really, you know, I'm always like, golf isn't all about rich people, you know? Or like, there are public golf courses that are cheap just for average people to play at.
Starting point is 00:57:10 And they're not all Donald Trump or whatever, which I know half of my audience would be a fan of. Yeah, of course, obviously. But it's funny, you read this, you're like, it's weird how golf gets a bad rap as being this elitist sport. For fun, they're in the supersonic aeroplane putting. And, like, even not only did he, he didn't just make the record. He was breaking one from a couple years earlier in the exact same circumstances. That's very funny. This golfer, Jose, was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2009.
Starting point is 00:57:44 And in June of 2013, he was presented with Spain's most prestigious sporting honor, the Prince of Asturias Award in recognition of his accomplishments as a player and leader of the 2012 Ryder Cup team. He's only the second golfer to be honored since the awards were launched in 1987. With his record, does that mean, mean say you got like one of those trains that goes across the whole of europe into russia if i putted a ball onto the train and then the train went all that distance and then due to due to the motion of the train the ball fell out and then landed in a hole yeah does that count because they are it's like i think that they seem to be thinking it needs to be in motion on the plane as well.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Yeah. Because it traveled the full length of the... It must have been a long putt as it was. Yeah, yeah. But... Then it must have been rolling the whole time that the plane was moving, I guess. Yeah. So, is that...
Starting point is 00:58:37 Is that... What is the specific... Otherwise, you could make a huge putt by putting it a foot, you know. Yeah. Really slowly, you know, or something. I don't know. But I guess because the foot doesn't take any way where near as long. Yeah, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:58:52 So the plane hasn't traveled as far. Feels cheap. Feels like a technicality. Hey, look. I think they should discount it. Whatever Jose wants to hang his hat on, I guess. And he's going around telling everyone how great he is because of this. Who are we to get in the way? keeps banging on about it yeah you reckon you could beat a guinness world record i think some of them lexi will be able to tell you more about because
Starting point is 00:59:14 he i tried to go for youngest podcaster because no one had said it i thought well i can say that's great i can say that idea and then someone, yeah, yeah, smart Didn't work out? No one set it yet No, no, no, they wouldn't accept it They wouldn't let us, they wouldn't let me go for it Well, let's start our own awards, whatever I saw a scam anyway
Starting point is 00:59:36 You were talking from personal experience You have an axe to grind with the Guinness I do, I do I have an axe to grind with Guinness When we were making Finding Desperado, the podcast it was about a guinness world record and they would never we tried so many ways to get in contact with them and they just would like not budge so like oh yeah we don't really have old records we don't have a way to contact these guys or anything like that and then and then after that they asked oh, when the podcast came out,
Starting point is 01:00:06 they're like, oh, we want to include you guys in the Guinness World Records. We never heard from them ever again. I thought we were going to be in the book for something. We never heard from them. Well, you know, they're great Chrissy Prezzi. Great Chrissy Prezzi, you know. Oh, incredible Chrissy Prezzi. Really good.
Starting point is 01:00:24 All right, the answers are in for question number six. Why did property developer Zibora Lyle Mainwaring make news in April of 2017? They passed away. In 2017, it wasn't uncommon for one of the back pages of a newspaper to contain some obituaries. A miscommunication with the
Starting point is 01:00:41 council led to a new apartment block they'd been developing being built on a swamp, with the ground swallowing all four stories a month after construction was completed. They tried to develop a property shaped to look exactly like their own head. They angered their neighbours by painting the front of their townhouse with red and white candy stripes after neighbours successfully stopped them from demolishing the property. They sold a haunted house to a White House staffer who sued for alleged poltergeist damage suffered by his beautiful wife or they designed a house that used foil in place of windows in an effort to be more energy efficient but ended up reflecting sunlight onto nearby houses burning their gardens.
Starting point is 01:01:32 I know that there have been buildings built. There was like a building built in London. I know that too. I know that buildings have been built. So there must be some truth to a few of these stories at least. But didn't they build a building that was so hot that it was setting cars on fire wasn't that a thing that it was like just like the way the reflection worked that there was a
Starting point is 01:01:54 street right next to the skyscraper that was like it would just fucking kill you if you walked through at the wrong time and there have been monuments built in the shapes of heads before so i think that's true that could be a really good option too as well if people are thinking about locking any in or anything you'd recommend that one would you no i mean it rings true i've seen mount rushmore the sphinx the heads of easter island many things built to shape like heads. I'm sure we're the one age. Will you be selecting that one? Alexi, will that be your choice? For some reason, maybe I won't select it.
Starting point is 01:02:29 I'm thinking maybe some other players in the game might be interested. Might be interested. Sir, perhaps could I tempt you? Why don't you lock in first then, mate? Which way are you going? I'm thinking either the aluminium or the swamp because property developers, they're known to be quite greedy and they could be thinking of things that could have perhaps shortcomings
Starting point is 01:02:59 that are not completely thought through. So I'm going to go for the Aluminium Fire Gardens. Aluminium Fire Gardens, which would be a great band name as well. Aluminium Fire Gardens. You don't think property developers have also been known to pass away? I think...
Starting point is 01:03:23 Have newspapers been known to contain obituaries? If there was one group of people that could find a way to live forever, I think it would be property developers. After all, they're the pharaohs of our time. That explains that. You know what? You've convinced me. I think they made a property in the shape of their head.
Starting point is 01:03:45 You're locking that in? No. I reckon I'm going to go the striped house. Striped house? Yeah. What was the swamp one, please, once again? The swamp one. A miscommunication with the council led to a new apartment block.
Starting point is 01:04:01 They developed being built on a swamp with the ground swallowing all four stories a month after construction was completed. Yeah, I believe it's that. Okay. Please. Welcome to the info, sir. Wow. And that property developer's name, Herman R. Schreck.
Starting point is 01:04:18 All right. Here's who wrote the answers. They passed away, and in 2017, it was an uncommon for one of the back pages of a newspaper to contain some obituaries. Oh, Serene. Okay. Rest in peace, fella. Equally surprising, they tried to develop a property shaped to look exactly like their own head. That was Alexei.
Starting point is 01:04:37 What? A couple of big surprises. That's crazy. What the hell? They sold a haunted house to a white house staffer who sued for alleged poltergeist damage. Why does race have to come into it? Suffered by his beautiful wife.
Starting point is 01:04:52 That was Jackson Bailey, you can ask him. Yeah. I don't know. It's just the world we live in, I guess. A lot of dry chicken this house staffer was eating. The miscommunication that led to the swamp swallowing the property. That was the house. Four stories in a month.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Yeah, come on. Come on, Saran. Come on, Saran. Come on, mate. And surely they would have noticed there was a swamp somewhere along the way. They designed a house to use foil in place of windows
Starting point is 01:05:27 and ended up burning neighbours' gardens. That was Claire, aka The House. Claire. Meaning that Jackson was correct. Yes.
Starting point is 01:05:35 They angered their neighbours by painting the front of their townhouse with red and white candy stripes after neighbours successfully stopped them
Starting point is 01:05:41 from demolishing the property. So the theory is that they're like, oh, I can't demolish this because it's like, you know, historical or whatever. Well, I'm going to make it look a bit fucked. It's going to look like shit then. You happy now? So that's, I think that means Seren and Alexi both fell
Starting point is 01:06:01 into the devious web of the house. And I mean, that was really the house's sort of playing on the home court there. Yeah. A house developer question. Of course. The house knows about houses. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Come on. So two points to the house, one point to Jackson. So going into the final round, we've got Alexi on three points, Seren on four points, Jackson on five points, but out in front, it is the diabolical house. That's good stuff Could this be a house victory? Could this be it?
Starting point is 01:06:28 A rare house victory Well Wow All it took to get the house to win Was three of the biggest numbskulls to join up But Lexi We're going from the house's home ground To yours
Starting point is 01:06:44 The final question. We always finish with a cinema question. A plot synopsis. We should pack it in now. Come into my parlour, said the spider to the flies. And this one comes from Alex Lloyd from Croydon in the UK. Wow, that's amazing. Alex Lloyd is amazing.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Yeah. And he's done amazing things like ask this question, which is worth triple points for you three. Okay. So it is still truly anyone's game. Nine points potentially up the grabs. What is the plot of the 1985 film Bridge Across Time? What is the plot of the 1985 film Bridge Across Time. What is the plot of the 1985 film Bridge Across Time?
Starting point is 01:07:29 So while your answer is being written, here's the story about the candy-striped house. According to the Press Association over in the UK, a woman who angered her neighbours by decorating her multi-million pound townhouse with red and white stripes can ignore a planning order to repaint the property the High Court has ruled. white stripes can ignore a planning order to repaint the property, the High Court has ruled. Zipporah Lyle Mainwaring, a property developer, painted candy stripes on the three-story facade of the Terrace House in Southend, Kensington, West London in March of 2015. She has denied that the paint job was done to spite neighbours who objected to her plans to demolish the property, which she is now using for storage and replace it with a new home.
Starting point is 01:08:05 It's a multi-million dollar property and she's just using it for storage and painting the front. It's like it's pretty clear that she's doing it as a finger to the neighbors. Anyway, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea served her with a notice under the Town and Country Planning Act of 1990
Starting point is 01:08:21 requiring her to repaint all external paint work located on the front elevation within 28 days. It said the condition and appearance of the property, particularly the red and white painted stripes on the front elevation, is incongruous. Sorry, Jackson, did I say that word? Incongruous? Incongruous with the streetscape. Incongruous.
Starting point is 01:08:40 It's incongruous in the White House. Yeah. Congress. It's in Congress. In the White House. Yeah. After failed appeals to magistrates and the Arlworth Crown Court last year, Lyle Mainwaring launched judicial review action
Starting point is 01:08:56 at the High Court of London. And on Monday, a judge ruled in her favor and quashed the notice. That's on Monday at the time of these articles writing. One issue was whether a notice served under Section 215 of the Act may be used when the complaint is that the planning authority considers that the choice of painting scheme harms amenity. Mr Justice Gilbert, who said the painting of the house had been entirely lawful, posed the question,
Starting point is 01:09:20 is it proper to use Section 215 notice where the complaint is not lack of maintenance or repair but of aesthetics what a great question that's why i love law it's really interesting oh man i'm halfway through this article and i'm thinking i probably don't need to read it all basically technicality said the reason that they said she had to repaint it because of this act but the act in the end the high court decided that the act wasn't stopping you from painting things kind of garishly yeah it's just you've got to upkeep the the property it can't fall into disrepair can't be crumbling from the front but you can you can do whatever you like you can shoot you can say oh you can't because otherwise it's so how do you
Starting point is 01:10:02 decide what is yeah appropriate historically correct or whatever yeah we don't know maybe it was all maybe they were all candy straws back then it reminds me i remember reading somewhere about in like maybe the late 90s how um there was like a somebody sold a house then the house turned out to be haunted and then it went to court and in court they were like because you didn't let the the new occupants know the house had a ghost in it they legally do like don't have to live in there you couldn't like refund them the deposit whatever but basically it was like officially by law in this country this house is is haunted. Like it was a full... I'll see if I can find it.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Full court case to prove this house is haunted. What was it? Stambofsky v. Ackley, commonly known as the Ghostbusters ruling, is a case in the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division that held that a house which the owner had previously advertised to the public as haunted by ghosts legally was haunted for the purpose of an action of rescission brought by a subsequent purchaser of the house you gotta let them know if the house has ghosts in it you gotta say i think that's fair yeah i think that's reasonable all right the answers are in. Here's the final question.
Starting point is 01:11:25 It all comes down to this. Oh, I feel tension in the air. Oh, yeah. What is the plot of the 1985 film Bridge Across Time? Madison, an unlucky-in-love high school sophomore, has nobody to go to prom with. She has no choice but to leap back through time to learn the art of seduction from history's greatest heartthrob Giacomo Casanova okay all
Starting point is 01:11:53 right Jack Giacomo I'm sorry as a guy with Swiss Italian heritage I should really know this famous Spanish guy. Yes, yeah. A wheelchair-bound scientist who stumbles across the secret to time travel late in his lab one night. After creating a bridge to the past, he travels back to try and prevent the accident which broke his spine. However, whilst in the past, he strikes up a relationship
Starting point is 01:12:22 and unknowingly becomes his own father. Bridget is young. She has everything to live for. But what good is all that when, due to an extremely rare condition, she has no concept of time? Days, months, a.m., p.m., it's all meaningless to Bridget. In order for Bridget, or Bridge for short, to truly live up to her potential, a motley crew of early learning educators must come together to
Starting point is 01:12:47 explain time to her. But can they get bridge across time? Okay. After the original London Bridge is relocated to Arizona, a series of mysterious murders plague the town. Detective Don Gregory believes the spirit of Jack the Ripper was unwittingly transported with the bridge inside one of the bricks. And he's the culprit.
Starting point is 01:13:14 But will the people believe him? The medieval town of Riverview has constructed a new bridge. The beautiful Princess Isabella is given the honor of being the first to cross, but is accidentally transported back to the Jurassic period. Can the king's best knight travel back in time, fight off the dinosaurs and rescue the princess? Or an old man discovers a grimy hole in his backyard that leads to his childhood in 1954. In an effort to more favorably reshape his youth, he makes a series of wild changes, incurring the wrath
Starting point is 01:13:48 of the Time Gobbler, a monstrous creature tasked with protecting the world history. There's some wonderful choices. I'd watch all of these. I feel like Alexei's at an advantage here as a big screen buff. Johnny Movies over here.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Man, I really have to look hard to try and find ones that I think you might not have heard of because last time I was on, Alexei had heard of the film and seen it. So we've got the school kid who goes back to learn from Casanova. Okay. We've got the wheelchair-bound scientist
Starting point is 01:14:21 who becomes his own father. We've got Bridget, or Bridge for short, who doesn't understand time. We've got the London Bridge, which is relocated with Jack the Ripper inside of it. We've got the medieval town where the princess goes back to the Jurassic period and the knight has to fight dinosaurs.
Starting point is 01:14:41 Or we've got the old man and the grimy hole that takes him back to his childhood and the time gobbler is unhappy with this hmm I what I'm leaning toward is the Jack the Ripper bridge one I feel like that feels like it could be a move that or the Casanova one for some reason my my choices that's where you're heading towards I can't pick okay well
Starting point is 01:15:04 do we want to hear other thoughts first? Well, did they actually move the London Bridge to Arizona? Yes. Yeah. They did, yeah. Some sort of magnate bought it and took it over there. Yeah. Wait, what?
Starting point is 01:15:17 Is that real? Yeah. Like one of the old London Bridges, I think it was sinking because they built it on a swamp. It's burning down. It was burning down. It was burning down. It was going down four stories a night, so I'm going to move it to somewhere quite drier. I think it was falling, so yeah, they took it.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Some rich guy took it over there to use as like a, like trying to bring people to his town or something. Come see the London Bridge. To cross the river. Yeah. Yes. That's typically what you need a bridge for yeah so does that make you think it's more or less likely I have no idea because it's not a documentary
Starting point is 01:15:54 I'm trying to think of like what do you what are usually movies well they're usually in movies. What are usually in movies? What's usually in movies? You should know, dude. What the hell? I'm trying to think what's usually in movies. I'm not going to bang on about how you're a big movie guy. You don't even know what's usually in movies.
Starting point is 01:16:18 It's crumbling. Oh, my God. It's crumbling like London Bridge out here. What's usually in movies? Maybe London Bridge is not always in movies there's a few movies of dinosaurs in them I know that there's a few movies in high schools the dinosaur one doesn't doesn't feel right because I feel like they would come to if you were writing that story in the 80s they'd come to the present right right he would instead of going back into the, they'd come to the present and the princess would meet a hot 80s dude.
Starting point is 01:16:46 And then, you know, that feels more like that movie. Going back, that's, yeah, I don't know. Well, 1985 is the year the most famous time travel movie was ever invented. Back to the Future, where a young fella goes back in time and smooches his mum every boy's dream. Very nearly becomes his own dad. Yeah, that's true. That is what they do in movies.
Starting point is 01:17:10 Yeah, that usually happens in movies. Yeah, yeah. I am ruling out the time gobbler. Okay. What's your logic there? How? Yeah, can you talk us through that? Well, Alexi.
Starting point is 01:17:22 Surely the movie would be called the time gobbler. Exactly. That was my legit thought. And also, Alexi, a cinephile, gave a sort of cynical guffaw. Oh, you're going off. Alexi's guffaw. No, no, no. That was a guffaw of pure cinematic joy.
Starting point is 01:17:40 I heard that. I was like, oh, I certainly do love motion pictures to me yeah I feel like that maybe what it is is sometimes a movie comes out and there'll be copycat films and that's why I think it needs the father giving accidentally giving giving birth to him his own okay you want to lock that in yeah whoa which movie was that he nearly fathered himself your time travel's so long you give birth to yourself that's crazy yeah he yeah he becomes his own father will bet wheelchair-bound scientist some someone across the secret of time travel goes back to try and prevent his accident uh but while he's there he strikes up a relationship and becomes his own father
Starting point is 01:18:28 wow classic time loops the classic time it's a risk yeah you gotta if you go back in time you know especially if you had a hot mom yeah you know in her youth and and science doesn't work in this universe like it does here genetics Genetics. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. And you don't remember what your mom looked like in her youth, I suppose. You got face blindness. That's a risk. If you got face blindness, do not travel through time. He was actually going back in time to try and prevent the accident that caused his face blindness.
Starting point is 01:18:58 That makes sense. Why do you think he's got a degenerative... I can't say it. Degenerative spine. Yeah, that's true his own DNA twice
Starting point is 01:19:08 he's got a single helix yeah I reckon I'm gonna go the go going back in time to learn seduction
Starting point is 01:19:14 from Casanova okay I can see that movie I can see that 80s movie all right locking that feels real to
Starting point is 01:19:20 me if you could go back in time you could see it yeah that's true if I could
Starting point is 01:19:24 yeah and I'm not saying I can't every time you watch a DVD from a previous era it is as if you were going back in time those are the journeys I go on every day I'm gonna walk in Jack the Ripper alright good choice two for Jack the Ripper I've never felt conflicted a moment in
Starting point is 01:19:42 my life Matt whatever you're gonna say next well I just wonder if you ever feel conflicted Watching DVDs on the small screen That's true I do a big TV I do a big ass TV And also I love to watch movies I've said this before I'll say it again
Starting point is 01:19:59 You don't have to go to church To pray mate You can have a great experience in your own home Alright Let's go through who wrote The Answers You don't have to go to church to pray, mate. You can have a great cinematic experience in your own home. All right. Let's go through who wrote the answers. An old man discovers a grimy hole and includes the time gobbler. Saran wrote it off.
Starting point is 01:20:18 I thought it was fantastic by Jackson Bailey. Thank you. Yeah. Disappointed. Nobody believed in the time gobbler. Only me. To me, it sounds like the most 80s movie ever I think what gave that away If I'm honest
Starting point is 01:20:29 Is that he went Well he went down a hole Not across a bridge Oh yes It wasn't called time hole That's my bad I was thinking if he was an old man Would he be going back to his childhood
Starting point is 01:20:40 30 years earlier? Wait when did the movie come out? 85 Yeah He went back to the 50s Yeah 31 years earlier wait when did the movie come out 85 yeah he went back to the 50s yeah 31 years earlier so he's an old man you're you're just saying an old man is like a 30 year old the movie's set in the future the movie's set in 2015 okay yeah yeah do i have to write every bit of it come on that's, dude. The medieval town of Riverview with the dinosaurs
Starting point is 01:21:06 and the princess. That was Alex, aka The House. An amazing answer. Great answer. Really good. Bridget is young. So young.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Her name is Bridge for short. She doesn't understand time, but people try to get her across time. That was Saran. That was good. If this is not written by Sarena, I'll lose my mind.
Starting point is 01:21:28 I'll lose my mind. That was the Serena's answer, haven't I? Right up there with, what was it? Time Barbarians or something? Where it was like, yeah. He wrote a story, a movie about a barber named Ian. Barbarian. Which remains good stuff.
Starting point is 01:21:50 Oh, yeah. Bit of fun. Okay, so. Saran, you went for a wheelchair-bound scientist who becomes his own dad. That was also Alex, another amazing answer. Alex is good. Alex Lloyd. Alex Lloyd, the one and only.
Starting point is 01:22:04 A point there to the house. Yeah. Jackson went for Madison. Unlucky in love high school. Sophomore. Learns from Casanova. That was Alexi. You got me, dude.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Yes. You got my ass. And my plan was to write as American a sentence as I possibly could to make sure it didn't sound like me. And that means Alexi is also correct. It is Jack the Ripper in a sentence as I possibly could to make sure it didn't sound like me. And that means Lexi is also correct. It is Jack the Ripper in a Brick. It's a real movie. That's so funny. And Don Gregory the
Starting point is 01:22:33 detective is played by David Hasselhoff. Whoa! So I'm going to tabulate the scores. But while I'm doing that, let me tell you a little bit more about this film. So, yeah, like I said, it did star David Hasselhoff. It was also directed, do you know this guy's work, Alexei?
Starting point is 01:22:53 E.W. Swackhammer. You familiar with the work of Swackhammer? The oeuvre of Swackhammer? Yes, he directed Driving Miss Daisy, the Oscar-winning film. What the hell? Yeah. Is that true? No, mate.
Starting point is 01:23:08 That's Bruce Beresford. He's an Aussie. An Aussie legend. Really? Okay. Well, yeah. I'm obviously in the little screen camp. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:18 According to Alex, this film is at least partially loosely based on the true story that Saran alluded to about the London Bridge being purchased bybert p mcculloch in 1968 and transported brick by brick to arizona where it was rebuilt as a tourist attraction uh there aren't many reviews of this film it's fair to say i could not find much about it but there is a user review on imdb the user's name is gsb ltd gsb limited i guess And they wrote one titled, The London Bridge is the real star. And they said, I bought this little sleep fest on VHS years ago
Starting point is 01:23:54 in a cutout bin and could barely finish watching it. It moves like molasses in the dead of winter and telegraphs the storyline like Marconi on meth. But that legendary old bridge still photographs with atmospherics that rival any Hammer horror flick from 20 years earlier. Get a bridge freak in here. I've walked that bridge. And as you lean over those massive stones, you can literally sense the history under
Starting point is 01:24:20 your feet. That rocks. Every now and then you get a director who who you just can't join the dots what was in the middle of their catalog how did they go from this to driving mistakes that's yeah that's the question that is a big question if you did forget that lexi admitted he was joking there um well in 1990 they directed colombo colombo goes to college so okay i don't know they got some and the two episodes of the cosby mysteries um did bill cosby do a mystery spin-off yeah the cosby mysteries no kidding there you go i think
Starting point is 01:24:58 it was a long and protracted trial this guy i think he mainly worked on on the small screen like yeah so you wouldn't know him had you heard of this film because you did get it right um no but it sounded familiar to me I don't know maybe I'd read something about it I something about it the bridge something about it I the bridge I was like yeah
Starting point is 01:25:21 it's the only one that there's a physical bridge in it I'm I locked that one in. But I'm looking up this guy now. He says he's made a Spider-Man movie in 1977. What? Really? Yeah. I'm on Letterboxd looking it up, though.
Starting point is 01:25:36 When an extortionist threatens to force a multi-suicide, unless a huge ransom is paid, only Peter Parker can stop him with his new powers as Spider-Man. Whoa. There you go. How can one person force a multi-suicide? It's a bit of a plot hole. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:25:55 All right. Here is the final scores. In fourth place on four points, it's Saran. In third place on five points, it's Saran. In third place on five points, it's Jackson. In second place on seven points, it's The House. But out in front on nine points, it's Alexei Toliopoulos. Wow. Congratulations.
Starting point is 01:26:15 What a story for the ages for me to be victorious on this day. I'm looking up more stuff by this guy. Have you guys ever seen Look Well? It's the Conan O'Brien written pilot with human Robert Smigelroda that stars Adam West as himself solving crimes. They only did one episode. He directed that as well. That was a Swack Hammer original. Swack Hammer.
Starting point is 01:26:39 He does this. That's one I have heard of. I know what that is. All these credits are making me think this film Is maybe having a bit of fun Yeah I think so At least a bit of a laugh you know Yeah
Starting point is 01:26:52 Yeah Alexi coming from last place With one round to go Leaping into first place Yeah underdog story Every now and then you have like a Studios locked you in. You got to do your Driving Miss Daisies, but you get your passion projects too.
Starting point is 01:27:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Before we go, where can people find you, Lex? Oh, you can find me on the internet. I love to lurk upon there. But you can listen to my new podcast, Sunburned Screens, the Australian Cinema Odyssey.
Starting point is 01:27:28 It's about Australian film. It's really beautiful. It's really interesting. It's passionately made by me. And it's all like talking about Australian films. Like I talk about Australian horror films with some of the great horror filmmakers of modern times in Australia.
Starting point is 01:27:43 There's episodes coming out next year with Gillian Armstrong and Rolf de Heer talking about their filmographies and their cinema. And each episode on the streaming service, brolly.com.au, I'm putting together kind of like curated little film festival watch lists along with them. So it's a great way to jump off, use the film as a podcast, as an introduction to film, and then watch more stuff on Broly to get the full Aussie film experience.
Starting point is 01:28:11 So you could be like a layman like me, listen to the podcast, and then probably enjoy a proper cinema more than I would going in cold. Is that kind of the idea? That's the plan. To warm up the layman brains. That's what I'm trying to do.
Starting point is 01:28:28 It's a primer. I love it. I'm keen. Primer. Jackson, how about you? You can find me on a multitude of podcasts. I do a podcast called Thumb Cramps which is the only good video game review podcast out there.
Starting point is 01:28:44 No one does it like Th cramps, as people say. That's almost a compliment. I do a podcast called Baseless Speculation, which is a sort of extremely loose pop culture news show. The last episode we did, I think, was mostly about other host Joel Zamet giving a sperm sample. I think that was about 40 minutes of that episode, of the 50-minute run.
Starting point is 01:29:04 But tell you what, it's a funny story um and i do another one usually it's about taking a sperm sample yeah no this is this one we flipped the script um i do another podcast called plumbing the death star which is a even stupider pop culture podcast but um it's very funny and a podcast called dnd is for nerds which is a sort of dungeons and dragons real play podcast and you can find me on twitter at all dogs are dead uh and just around in general as jackson bailey you can find me online i'm i'm about would you say that you have a podcast for everyone yeah i think anybody like if you start from you start off as a weird you've got to be a weird person. Yeah, if you're a sort of freak. Yeah. If you're a freak online...
Starting point is 01:29:45 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then you'll love all of the podcasts we do. Okay. If you're nasty... Yeah, yeah. You know. And 50% of my audience is. They're nasty.

It might still beka. But we... No, I am going to be touring with Matt Stewart, Dryer Dryer, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane early next year.

Starting point is 01:30:54 We've made the poster to be like, it's such an in-joke, but we've tried to make it to be slightly annoying because the faces are based on me myself and Irene oh yeah that's good it's called lie lie and then the catchphrase is somebody stop us so it's gonna just it's this real

Starting point is 01:32:04 I mean, we won't have talked about it yet, but stick around to hear a bunch of stuff about Swim Yoda after the song. Wait, you're telling me Swim Yoda didn't make the cut of the podcast? What the hell? Swim Yoda's been delegated to the post? I'm live editing
Starting point is 01:32:20 it right now. That got chopped out. I think the anal bead stuff probably stayed in though okay well hey small silver linings yeah uh cheers for tuning in to who knew with matt stewart and now that you know it i've been matt stewart goodbye uh so i nipped into savers on the way here And I was looking at the polo shirts Can I guess what you might have seen? Something's coming to me Dude I reckon do it
Starting point is 01:32:52 There's something that you I don't know I trust you in this moment I think we've never been closer And I think I'm gonna allow you to predict What you think I saw Can I have a guess as well?
Starting point is 01:33:03 How about you all say it on three? I think it's gonna be Is it one of those aprons okay where it's like they've got the tits on it but it's um it's actually a big foot oh yeah that would be that would be great but no that seems like the kind of thing that would have caught your attention well I mean it would have I'd be wearing that if that's what I saw yeah no. No, nice try. Anybody else got a guess about what I saw at Savers? Well, my guess was it was an apron with huge tits on it, but they were green. And then it was spelled out swim Yoda. Tit Yoda.
Starting point is 01:33:37 Well, you're shockingly close. Because I saw a polo shirt that had swim yoda on the breast in the Star Wars font. Don't know what that's about. A complete mystery. Whoa, describe the breast. Plump, milky, wide areola. Plump. Wide areola.
Starting point is 01:33:58 Yeah, it was also extra, extra large. Who was swim yoda? That's what I wanted. I'm so intrigued by it So was it like a one-off? Or was it Yeah, it was a one It wasn't genuine merch
Starting point is 01:34:11 No, it didn't seem like genuine Swim Yoda merch So someone had taken their own shirt in And put it on the shelf Yeah, that's I don't know, it was very mysterious You know, and clearly they didn't need it anymore Swim Yoda But isn't it like
Starting point is 01:34:22 They were done with it I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan But I know that they have all different kinds of planets They've got a forest anymore, Swim Yoda. But isn't it like- And we're done with it. I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I know that they have all different kinds of planets. They've got a forest planet, a desert planet. Do they have a swim planet? Maybe this is for, yeah, the planet where Yoda's swimming. They have a swim planet. They've got a few. There's a few water-based planets.
Starting point is 01:34:37 One's called Kamino. It's where the clones are bred and born. Did Yoda ever go for a swim on Kamino? Which is the homeworld of the Selkath. Okay. And there's also Mon Calamari. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go with it.
Starting point is 01:34:48 Mon Calamari is another famous water world from this. Calamari world? Is that where they got- Mon Calamari. Yeah, they got Calamari men over there. Is that where the trap guy is from? It's a trap. It's a trap.

Starting point is 01:35:22 Any questions? You've all done this before. Yeah. Just get into it. Yeah, I have a question. Is that okay for you two? Yes. Why are we all men?
Starting point is 01:35:31 Yeah, great question. Great question. I've been thinking it too. That's a pretty big philosophical question, guys. Finally, a blokes only episode Of a podcast Something I can truly enjoy Something for the valors For once
Starting point is 01:35:48 Let me tell you this I've booked two episodes today Okay As surrenders And for some reason Only guys could do This slot And only women
Starting point is 01:35:59 Could do The other slot Is that reason your choice? That reason I don't believe That The sexes shouldn't be mixed i think you know you were saying the other day you're looking for new gear for your stand-up i think men are only available at 1 p.m women are only available at 4 30 i think that's good gear yeah what's the deal with that why are women only available in the later part of the day i think
Starting point is 01:36:24 that's funny maybe controversial, but funny stuff Gotta push the envelope sometimes Yeah, get a book out of this Yeah Men are from 1pm, women are from 4 Okay I'm writing that down Should we start?
Starting point is 01:36:40 Yeah, let's do it It's not too cold on you? No, I'm bright and high No, it's not too cold I know I'm right now all right correct no it's actually quite warm oh we're in different rooms yeah there's Alexi gone do we just know I surrender we lose lost half the podcast in like a second I don't know just looked up and it was only us
Starting point is 01:37:07 at least we could surround back Alexi just went so this up shop find you had yeah let's get back to it let's get I think there's more to discuss swim yoga yoga is very confusing oh but why is there only one of them? I don't know. I'm going to Google Swim Yoda. Maybe it'll tell me something. They didn't have any other... They didn't have, like, bushwalk yoga?
Starting point is 01:37:35 No, no, no, no. It was only Swim Yoda. Only Swim Yoda. No, not Swim Yoga. Yeah, is it, like, meant to be a pun or something? Whoa! Swim Yoda's a... What the fuck?
Starting point is 01:37:47 Swim Yoda is an educator with a passion for all things swimming. Knowing the importance of individual learning paths, motivations, rewards, and recognition. What am... He's a guy. Swim Yoda's a guy. That... He teaches swimming. That is surprising.
Starting point is 01:38:03 So he is a... His name's Gordon, aka Swk.a. Swim Yoda. Shout out to Swim Yoda. Gordon. Gordon was born to English parents in the south of Thailand and was an avid sportsman from a young age. Well, there you go. You want to learn how to swim?
Starting point is 01:38:18 Go to Swim Yoda. Very interesting stuff. Though not that interesting. Let's be honest. But you have saved people from email emailing in that's true also yelling at their ipods yeah just out of frustration everyone knows everybody knows swim yoda swim yoda swim yoda it would be delightful to see yoda swim really wouldn't it
Starting point is 01:38:55 yeah because he's such a funny little guy it would be a great toy like to call me homo but it's like a yoda you just put in the pool and he paddles around and stuff that's beautiful with his little claws. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:05 I would have thought, because aren't, isn't, they're all pretty copyright. Yeah, I don't think you can call yourself, well, maybe Yoda's not. I don't know. Surely. Yeah. He's a public figure. Come on. He's not.
Starting point is 01:39:24 That bit was meant to be quicker So obviously you've all finished writing your answers This gives us a chance to check in Check in with Swim Yoda Swim Yoda Swim Yoda Oh my god Bing is back
Starting point is 01:39:39 I think what I keep wanting to do is say Swim Yoda sweet chariot Like swim Swim Yoda sweet chariot That could be a Bing here That made more sense than that I think if you went back in time and you showed Bing Crosby Yoda He would fucking love him dude
Starting point is 01:39:59 I think Yoda would be crazy He'd be frothing for Yoda Really I think he'd stomp him to death Well we gotta get Yoda and go back in time Yoda would be crazy. He'd be frothing for Yoda. Really? I think he'd stomp him to death. Well, we've got to get Yoda to go back in time and see what happens. Let's find out. Let's see what he does. And Rand's
Starting point is 01:40:16 Paul's question is what unusual world record does Jose Maria Olithable hold? I meant to look up the pronunciation of this name. I will say that. Let me just double check it. I hope that guy speaks like,
Starting point is 01:40:31 hello, welcome to another pronunciation. Have you guys seen that guy? Love that guy. I don't know that guy. Oh. Jose Maria Olathable. All right. So Paul's question is is what unusual world record
Starting point is 01:40:48 stop you're gonna look up the pronunciation what's wrong man i just pressed the wrong shortcut okay so i gotta go copy it again and paste it again oh absolute nightmare fuck day one on earth for this i thought i don't know if this is fun but i thought i could do a I thought I don't know if this is fun but I thought I could do a a fun little twist on this question
Starting point is 01:41:29 where I know one of the actors in the film and I'll just insert it into all of your answers so you don't know who the actor is but I'll put them in
Starting point is 01:41:37 do you think that is is that fun I think that's so fun alright great that's fun just include yeah the main role I say, played by this actor. Okay, fantastic.
Starting point is 01:41:51 Okay. And then, see, that could be funny or fun because some of you might pick inappropriate roles for them. It might be incongruous. Yeah. Or whatever that word is. Jackson, how do you say that word? I just tried to say. Incongruous. Yeah, yeah. Or whatever that word is. Jackson, how do you say that word I just tried to say? Incongruous? Thank you.
Starting point is 01:42:11 I'm going to bail on this idea of putting the actor in because I think it would give away that all your answers are wrong. Okay. No, maybe not. Actually, I don't know. Stick to your guns. Yeah. Trust yourself.
Starting point is 01:42:23 No, I'm trusting myself that this is not it. That's not going to work. It might ruin this round. It was late last night when I thought that might be fun. It still might be. And Don Gregory the detective is played by David Hasselhoff. Whoa. So this is how the question was going to go if I left it as was.
Starting point is 01:42:48 Madison, played by David Hasselhoff, an unlucky and loved high school sophomore, has no one to go to prom with. She has no choice. A wheelchair-bound scientist, played by David Hasselhoff. Bridget, played by David Hasselhoff. Yeah. I guess the knight, David Hasselhoff.
Starting point is 01:43:05 He could be a time gobbler. Yeah. He could be a time gobbler. He could be a time gobbler played by David Hasselhoff. Go on, mate. He's got time gobbler energy. He's gobbling time every fucking day. That would have hurt some of them, but not all of them.
Starting point is 01:43:18 Yeah. Wow. I've just looked up the movie, what's it called? Bridge Across Time. And it's available in its entirety on YouTube. And on the Google preview, it says, nine key moments in this video. And they are as follows.

Don Gregory is one of, like, I've got, like, four moving parts that I would have made up on this show before. Don Gregory is one of like, I've got like four moving parts and I'll put into a fake name. And Don and Gregory are two of those. Gary Gregson.
Starting point is 01:44:15 I'm going to watch this movie for sure. Yeah, I'm keen. I think maybe this should become like a Patreon bonus for this so it's just me sitting through this shit. Oh, yeah.
