Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Who Knew It Without Matt Stewart.
Please put your hands together for your host for this afternoon.
It's Dave Warnock. Dave!
Well, hello and welcome to Who Knew It Without Matt Stewart.
The podcast where the guests write the wrong answers My name is, I'm not the titular Matt Stewart, that's what I'm trying to say
But I am the titillating guest host Dave Warnocky
Yeah, bit of wordplay there, how are ya?
Thank you so much for coming out
Now what's happened is, unfortunately, Matt was so excited to come up
But he is a bit sick, so he couldn't make it here tonight. He's got a bit of a sniffle, poor man.
No, he's genuinely quite ill, so he couldn't make it tonight, but he sent along a quiz and he's asked me to be the guest host for you tonight.
Unfortunately, Matt's first pick of obscure 1990s cricketer Greg Blewett was unavailable for Who Knew It with Greg Blewett.
We're stuck with Who Knew It with Dave Warnakey,
which doesn't really have the same ring to it.
So Matt suggested, he sent in some suggestions.
He said I could call the show What's It Gonna Be with Dave Warnakey?
Or The Host Is An Absentee with Dave Warnakey.
But I've been thinking about
maybe I could take advantage of the situation
and fully rebrand the podcast
and maybe try some new concepts up here tonight.
So I've been thinking about a few.
How about Bonjournakee with Dave Warnakee?
A French language podcast?
Bon Bon?
How about Is It Tornakee with Dave Warnakee?
Where we go around and each say our favourite Natalie Imbruglia hit.
Mine's torn, what's yours?
Another option could be Vince Warnikey or Dave Warnikey.
Where I play you an audio clip and you have to guess whether it's me or Wedding Crashers star Vince Vaughn.
I'll give you a clue, it's always me. I haven't been able to get onto Vince yet.
Or my personal favourite, Getting Hornikeky with Dave Warneky no explanation
required thank you so much now we are gonna stick with the regular format
tonight Matt's put the quiz together so we are ready to go are you ready to meet
today's guests well let's find out who's behind Dornikey number one. That's the last one.
Our first guest is a Piece of Wood winning...
That's right, the Piece of Wood award winning comedian
and host of the Mid-Flight Brawl podcast.
Please put your hands together and welcome to the show, Luke Hagee's here.
Oh, that's all good.
Luke, how are you?
Very well, thanks.
Thanks for having me.
Stoked to have you on.
Our second guest this week
is an award-winning comedian
and the host of the
Chris and Sarah Wear the Pants podcast
is none other than Chris Ryan.
Yeah.
She run it up
She pay a bill
She fuck it up
50 seconds
Hello, Chris.
Hello.
Thank you both so much for doing this.
Do you have any idea
what the hell we're about to do? No. Only from the moments that you spoke to us earlier. Great. Hello. Thank you both so much for doing this. Do you have any idea what the hell we're about to do?
No.
Only from the moments that you spoke to us earlier.
Great.
Because I'm also not the regular host,
so anything could happen here tonight.
Let's find out.
All right.
The way the show works is I ask a relatively obscure trivia question
and our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer.
I then read their answers as well as the real one,
and they have to guess which one is correct.
So the first question, I'll explain a little bit more
as our contestants fire off their first answer tonight.
The first question comes from listener Jim Bates
from Sackets Harbour, New York.
Jim, are you in tonight?
Jim, thank you so much.
Jim has asked the question,
what does gone
goozler mean gone goozler spell it for you it's G o n G double o zed le gone
goozler you have to come up with a fake definition for gone goozler and then
you're going to be texting it to our main man up the back keeping track of
everything including the scores behind the decks. Would you please welcome my second banana, it's Jake Smith up the back.
Hello, Jake.
Hello.
A pleasure to be here.
Jake is our voice of God, keeping track of everything tonight.
So, I'll explain a little bit more about how the rules work.
So, you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant,
and another point if you correctly guess the answer.
By the way, I'm also
playing as
the house.
Boo. Historically I would
boo as well, but tonight that kind of hurts.
I put
in two of my own fake answers, that's Matt has, for
each question and I get a point for each one of those that
our guests choose. So each of us can
score up to two points
per round. It seems
fair, but the probability actually favours
me. The house.
And the house always wins.
Although if you've listened to the previous episodes
you'll know this is not necessarily the case.
Anyway, our questions come
from our great Patreon supporters. If you want to submit
a question, you can sign up on any level
via patreon.com
slash dogoonpod, linked in the show notes.
So we've got a couple...
Eggie, you got your answer in?
Yeah.
Are we supposed to just...
We don't discuss it, though, do we?
No, no, no.
So the question is,
what does Gon Goosela mean?
Now, Jake is putting in some answers up the back.
Do either of you have a history of playing sort of the dictionary
game or any of these bolded ash style games
at home, what do you bring to the table tonight
no, I used to love
I used to love
Pictionary, but not
not dictionaries
I'm very keen on Scrabble
I used to be in, I mean not
anymore because obviously, but
well I've got a family, that that shit but I can flog my
kids at it but I used to go to I used to go to Scrabble tournaments from time to time as you
go badly but like you can't beat them they are like 15 games a day retirees they've memorized
all the two-letter words oh I, I know them. Oh, wow.
Okay, sorry.
But they know much more than that.
They're a bit special.
Well, looking forward to the Scrabble round coming up later on.
Maybe we'll get some picturing in there as well, Chris.
So the question is, what does Gong Goozler mean?
So I'm going to read out all of our answers
and you have to tell me which one you think is the real one. Is does Gong Goozler mean? So I'm going to read out all of our answers and you have to tell me which one you think is the real one.
Is it Gong Goozler?
It's a croquet shot whereby you knock your opponent's ball out of the way.
Is it someone who drinks a usually alcoholic beverage heartily or copiously?
Is it one of Shane Warne's lesser known balls?
Is it Gong of Shane Warne's lesser known balls? Is it a goosler?
A person who harbours an interest in canals and canal life
but does not actively participate?
Or is a goosler the feeding tube used in the controversial process
of making French delicacy foie gras.
Foie gras.
So do you want me to repeat those answers quickly for you?
You've got to tell me which one you think is the correct one.
Or are you happy to lock one in?
I'm happy to go now, but if that's something you need to do for the people,
I'm happy to go.
What are you saying about them?
No, I mean, I don't know what the process of this podcast is.
If you prefer for it to take a longer time,
we can take all the time you want.
Oh, yeah?
Let's repeat everything, please.
From the top.
I am not Matt Stewart.
Hello.
Gone Goozler.
Croquet shot.
Will you knock your opponent's ball out of the way?
Someone who drinks a usually alcoholic beverage
hardly or copiously.
One of Shane Warne's lesser-known balls.
A person who harbours an interest in canals
but does not actively participate.
Or the feeding tube used in the controversial process of making French delicacy foie gras.
Chris, what's jumping out at you?
I'm going for number one.
I think it's the weird croquet shot.
Locking in croquet for Chris.
Please, Jake.
I mean, they're all pretty grim, aren't they?
They're all possible but all shit as well, aren't they?
I mean, I know that's the idea.
I get it.
The canal one.
I'm going to go with the canal one, I think,
because I think yours is the drinking one.
No?
I'm not answering that.
Oh, okay.
Until it's over.
I think hers is the drinking one.
But, yeah, I'll go with the canals.
Okay.
The answers are locked in.
Let me reveal who wrote the answers.
Someone who drinks a usually alcoholic beverage
heartily or copiously.
That was written by The House slash Jim from Sackett's Harbour.
Ah.
There you go.
That's not it.
That's not it.
Oh, great, great.
So don't worry about that.
You got us.
All right.
Great.
Are we going five?
We're going to go number five to number one.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
All right.
Again, hit us.
Neither of you were tempted by one of Shane Warne's
lesser known balls.
That was also written by The House.
I thought that was you.
Really?
I thought you wrote that because it was pretty funny.
Both his balls are very well known from what I heard about him.
The feeding tube used in making foie gras, that was Chris Ryan.
Oh, I like the cut of your jib.
I thought I did a good job with that.
It sounded like it was official.
It sounded official.
The croquet ball being knocked out of the way,
that was written by Luke Heggie.
Thank you very much.
So a point there for that one.
But that also means a second point because the real answer,
which Heggie also locked in, is a person who harbours an interest in canals and canal life
and does not actively participate.
Congratulations.
Two points.
Wow.
I'll start strong.
Oh, my God.
But take it easy.
I see what we're dealing with now.
You are a dork.
But in disguise.
Deep down.
I can still bash everyone here.
All right. We're going to move on to question number two,
and I'll tell you a bit more about Gonguzla
as well, the next answers are coming in.
Question two is, this one comes from Caitlin from Brisbane.
Caitlin, are you actually here?
All right, we're going to move on to question number three.
No, this one is from Caitlin.
Which one of these is a real species of bird?
So you've got to come up with a fake species of bird.
Text it through to Jake.
Hang on, we come up with a name of one.
Yeah, just the name of a fake species of bird.
Fuck.
All right.
And while you're texting that in,
I'll tell you a bit more about gonguzlers, gonguzling.
Jim writes, gonguzling, much like trainspotting, is a hobby that can extend to all aspects of canals.
The word may have arisen from words in Lincolnshire dialect, gorn and goose, both meaning to stare or gape.
There you go.
And now I'm saying that I have to say the word canal so often.
I can understand why Matt has pretended to be sick and not be here tonight.
Because he historically can't pronounce the word canal.
He once pronounced it as canal.
And he was serious.
He read it as canal.
So that's why I'm here tonight.
Taking a bullet for Matt.
It says a bit about him, doesn't it?
He likes canal. He likes canal.
He likes canal.
Wow, straight up the gungoos love.
All right.
How have we got the answers?
Because I have a bit more about gungoosling.
We don't need to know.
It's fine.
Oh, this will be over real quick.
I mean the whole game.
We're flying.
Yeah, you're flying.
You're flying through it.
The answers are being written in by Jake as we speak.
The question, remember, is which one of these is a real species of bird?
Okay.
Now, they're all in.
First one is the furrowed bugler.
The furrowed bugler.
Could also be pronounced furarrad Bugla.
That's up to you.
Next option is White-Titted Booby.
The rare double there.
Our third option is The Great Tit.
The Great Tit.
Option number four.
That's yours, isn't it?
So is yours.
Chris is loving this one.
Option number four.
How's this one?
Jizz sparrow.
Jizz sparrow?
Or is it number five?
Fifth option is
slag whip.
And remember, one of these is a real bird.
Is it the furrowed bugler, the white-titted booby,
the great tit, the jizz sparrow, or slag whip?
Now, Hickey, I think you get to lock in your answer first this time.
I'm going to go white-titted booby.
White-titted booby.
Yep.
Why is that jumping out to you?
Well, there's two answers with tits in there,
and a great tit sounds a little less imaginative.
Yeah.
So I'm having it. White-titted booby locked in. Chris, what do you think? I'm going to there and a great tit sounds a little less imaginative. So I'm having it.
White-titted booby locked in. Chris,
what do you think? I'm going to go for the great tit.
Because I think it's real.
Yeah, I think you might be right. There's definitely
one of those two. Yeah, I think
I remember hearing that and thinking it was funny before.
I don't know. Yeah.
Alright, answers are locked in.
Let's find out who's right.
Slag Whip.
No!
That was written by...
No, that was written by Luke Heggie, the Slag Whip.
The Jizz Sparrow.
That was from The House slash Caitlin.
Caitlin, is that why you're not here tonight?
The Furrowed
Bugler that was also written by
The house meaning the real answer
Is one of the tits or boobies
The white titted boobie
That was written by Chris
So a point for Chris there
And also a second point
Because the real answer is the great tit
Yes
Four points There is some benefits And also a second point because the real answer is the great tit. Yes.
Four points.
All right.
There is some benefits to being a woman after all.
No, that's irrelevant.
It makes no sense even.
It's not logical.
But we're even.
Yeah, let's have a quick score check, Jake. Thanks to tits.
Score check.
It is neck and neck with Chris on two and Heggie on two.
Amazing.
Great.
And the house, how many are we on?
Fuck all.
Oh, damn.
Don't worry.
I'll be coming back.

And Paul's question is, the musician Thundercats.
Thundercats has strange and interesting names for his pets.
But what was his first pet cat called?

Fuck, hold on, hang on
No, I thought you were just

Oh, yeah.
Oh, right.
I'm going to tell you a bit more about the great tit here.
According to Caitlin, the largest UK tit it is.
Green and yellow with a striking glossy black head
with white cheeks and a distinctive two-syllable song.
It is a woodland bird which is readily adapted to man-made habitats
to become a familiar garden visitor.
It can be quite aggressive at a bird table.
I don't know what that is.
Fighting off smaller tits.
Thank you to Caitlin.
Oh, actually, I've got a picture of it here if everyone wants to have a look.
There you go.
There's the so-called great tit.

I knew it would be one of our two.
Better fucking be mine.
Well, one of you is correct.
I can tell you that Sefelsik was written by the house and Paul.

And this one is, what wild headline ran in Newsweek on the 31st of July 2019?
So you have to come up with a fake headline here.
And it's a wild headline and it ran in Newsweek on the 31st of July 2019.
I'll take it the date's very relevant, the way you're saying that.
Or is it?
No, no, it't not necessarily relevant but you
know about that time that time in history while you're writing your answers here's some more info
about thundercat and his pets according to paul thundercat wrote two songs about his cat called

Paul writes, kooky songs aside, Thundercat is an excellent songwriter and virtuoso bassist

give his song Funny Thing a Listen
it's very good indeed
Alright, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick
break
And we're back for a quick break.
And we're back.
Alright, question four was what wild headline ran a Newsweek
on the 31st of July 2019?
Is it
sweat, regret, upset and repet?
Frustrated local on Morning Sun

in his car on Nebraska Highway?
I have not read through these before.
I've read these out.
This is a bit of fun.

And it was called Howdy Doody?
His bull was called Howdy Doody, yeah.
Huge.
Like a huge bull.

Just cow shit all down the back of it
and like a gate on the side instead of two doors.
And he's just standing there talking to the cop going,

And they didn't arrest him.
They sent him home or something.
Escorted him home.
Pretty good.
Incredible.
Next one was sweat, regret, upset and repent.

Another point for The House.
Meaning the real answer is Arizona man,
shocked to find out his mother's donated body
was strapped to a chair and detonated
in US military blast testing.
Whoa.
I thought it was too long for a headline.
I wouldn't think even I'd do that.
Well, that's amazing.
Do you reckon pot shots from a distance or like a...
How do you find out?
Closest to.
Yeah.
Yeah, like how do you find that out?
You find out by opening Newsweek.

I don't know.
It's weird.
All right.
Well, a couple of points there to house check.
We have a quick score check.
I think there's been a bit of movement.
Absolutely.
So, Dave, the house gets an additional point
because no one gets the correct one, right?
Oh, no.
We never see it.
No, just two, just two.
Oh, I'm getting a bit trigger happy here.
Hold on.
But I appreciate it.
Getting so into it.
The magic of live podcasting.
All right.
So we've got a Heggie is on.
It truly is whimsical. Whimsical. a Heggie is on. It truly is whimsical.
So Heggie is on three.
Chris Ryan is on two.
And the house is now on three.
Give him a round of applause.
Yeah.
All right.
It's anyone's game.
It is anyone's game.
Question number five.
Logan Husky from Brisbane sent in this question.
Logan, are you in?
Yeah.
A round of applause.
I hope I'm not going to butcher your question now.
Here we go.
Question five is, before changing their name to Silverchair,
the Newcastle band had various names including the Innocent Criminals,
I've already fucked it up.
The Innocent Criminals, the George Costanza Trio, band had various names including the innocent criminal the innocent i've already fucked it up the innocent criminals the george costanza trio and what other name what other name so before they were silver chair they were the innocent criminals the george costanza trio and what
other name and while you're writing your answers here is the article written by ewan Palmer about the dead body.
It says,
The Arizona Body Donation Center
where FBI agents discovered a woman's head
sewn onto a male body like Frankenstein
also sold an elderly woman's corpse
to the US Army to be blown up.
I should not be laughing.
To be blown up in a blast testing experiment.
Oh my God.
Jim Stouffer donated his mother's body to Biological Resource Centre in Arizona in 2013
after she died aged 74.
He was thinking she was going to go to medical science.
Instead, the body was sold off to the US Army so it could be used as part of an experiment to measure
damage caused by roadside bombs.
Jim Stouffer
told the ABC News Network
she was then supposedly strapped in a chair
strapped in a chair
on some sort of
apparatus.
I'm laughing because I should not be laughing.
And a detonation took place underneath her
to basically kind of get an idea
of what the human body goes through
when a vehicle is hit by an IED.
Oh, my God.
This is such a grim fact.
Oh, my God.
There was actually wording on this paperwork
about performing this stuff, he added.
Performing these medical tests that may involve explosions.
And we said no.
We checked the no box on all...
LAUGHTER
They can't even say he wasn't aware of the option.
Oh, my God.
At least 20 bodies were donated for blast experiments
without family's consent.
The donation centre is no longer operating.
So there you go.
Oh, my gosh.
That is a grim fact.
OK, so the answers are in for question number five.
Before changing their name to Silverchair,
the Newcastle band had various names,
including the Innocent Criminals,
the George Costanza Trio,
and what other name?
Was it A or option one?
The Bedazzlers.
The Bedazzlers.
Short Elvis.
Short Elvis.
The League of Extraordinary Rock and Roll Pals.
The Burning Room.
The Burning Room or the Toyota Corolla Ring Stones.
The Toyota Corolla Ingstones.
So the options are The Bedazzlers, Short Elvis,
The League of Extraordinary Rock and Roll Pals,
Toyota Corolla Ingstones or The Burning Room.
They're the options.
Heggie, what's jumping out to you?
Just because of the 90s time, it's a bit...
It's hard to... I don't know, there's a couple
that could be that time, a couple
very Chris Ryan-ish.
Are you a Silverchair fan?
I would sideswipe them, but not
particularly, no. I mean, fine.
Yeah, they're alright.
Anyone got that?
Good album, actually.
So, jumping out to you.
Oh, God,
the burning, burning out to you. Oh, God. Fucker, The Burning...
Burning what?
Something.
The Burning Room.
I'll take The Burning Room.
The Burning Room?
Locked in for Luke Heggy?
Boof.
Chris Ryan, how about you?
What's your silver chair history?
I don't mind.
I think it was Frog Stomp, that album?
Yep.
Yeah, no, I liked their early stuff.
And I liked that they were young men
managed by their mothers yeah yeah i thought that was kind of cute uh um i they're fucking
hard ones because i mean the toyota corolla one just screams to me luke heggie um short elvis
also kind of screams to me i'm I'm trying to read your face.
And what was the other one?
The Bedazzlers or The League of Extraordinary Rock and Roll Pals.
Okay.
I'll go for Short Elvis.
You're locking in Short Elvis.
Okay, we've got the Burning Room.
I'm regretting my choice now.
Would you like to change?
No, no, no.
It's all right.
Too late.
Oh, no, it's too late. Too late. No, it's too late.
Too late, okay.
I'll stay with the rest, yeah.
The Burning Room.
Short Elvis.
I can reveal that the League of Extraordinary Rock and Roll Pals
was written by The House.
Big round of applause.
Fantastic stuff.
The Bedazzlers.
Luke Heggy wrote that.
Oh, is that right? Okay. Do you have a Bedazzlers. Luke Heggie wrote that.
Oh, is that right?
Okay.
Do you have a bedazzler?
No, but I know what they are.
You'd go well on this.
Rhinestone collar.
The Burning Room, which Luke Heggie locked in.
Fuck.
That's Chris Ryan.
Ah, rubbish.
Fantastic work.
Well done.
That's the name of my son's first band in high school. Of course it was.
It's a good name.
Believable.
Yeah, well done.
Are they still around?
He's got a new one called The Wolf Cuts.
The Wolf Cuts.
I know.
They're badass names.
They're good names.
Need to put out some music.
They've done the hard part.
They will.
They will.
They will.
I can reveal that the Toyota Corolla Ringstones is also by the house.
Fantastic name.
Are you in here?
Meaning the correct answer is Short Elvis.
No way.
Congratulations.
Neck and neck.
So four points again.
Neck and neck.
Oh.
No, you're in.
I'm in here.
You're in.
You've won. So two points there to Chris Ryan, I believe, for the burning room and neck. Oh. No, you're in. I'm in here. You win. You won.
So two points there to Chris Ryan, I believe, for the burning room and to Short Elvis.
Oh, true.
Which I'll tell you a bit more about after this, after we check in with the scores.
Jake, how are we looking?
So Chris got two in that one, so that means that Heggie is on three.
Chris is now on four.
And the house is on three.
Ooh.
It's close.
But how the tables have turned.
It's anyone's game here.
The next question, question number six.
Our second last question is from Amanda Connell from Brisbane.
Amanda, are you in?
Yeah.
Round of applause for Amanda.
Thank you so much for your great question.
Your great question is, what is Santino, a chimpanzee at Sweden's Fjuravik Zoo, known for?
So Santino is a chimp at Sweden's Fjuravik Zoo.
What is Santino known for?
Santino does something.
While you're writing those answers, let me tell you a bit more about Silverchair.
After winning a competition, they changed their name to Silverchair.
In a 1994 interview with Melbourne magazine Buzz,
the band claimed their name derived from a radio request for Sliver by Nirvana
and Berlin Chair by UMI being mixed up as Silverchair.
It was later revealed that they were named for the C.S. Lewis-penned novel
The Silverchair from the Chronicles of Narnia.
Daniel Johns later said of the fake story,
We can't just say it's the name of a book and that we were looking for a name
and thought that sounded good, so we thought we'd come up with a story.
There you go.
Apparently the origin of the band started when founding members Ben Gillies
and Daniel Johns met at primary school in the Newcastle suburb of Merriweather
when they were 11 or 12. The first iteration of the band had Johns Ben Gillies and Daniel Johns met at primary school in the Newcastle suburb of Merriweather when they were 11 or 12.
The first iteration of the band had
Johns and Gillies rapping over an
electronic keyboard's demo button
and their first name was
The Silly Men.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Good.
Alright, the answers I believe
are coming in as we speak.
And let's remember the question from Amanda is,
what is Santino a chimpanzee at Sweden's Fjorevik Zoo known for?
These are your options.
Speed eating his entire food allocation for the day in record time.
His current record is 12.6 seconds.
So option two is
throwing feces at patrons. Option three
is performing elaborate
pole dances which are
surprisingly erotic.
Option four is
is he famous for attacking zoo visitors
in well planned attacks with rocks and other projectiles
he creates in his enclosure?
Or final option is, is he famous for whistling, living on a prayer?
Hey, I think you're going first.
All right, sorry.
Do you need the options?
So he's famous for speed eating, throwing feces at patrons,
elaborate pole dances that are surprisingly erotic,
attacking zoo visitors with well-planned attacks,
or whistling, living on a prayer.
They're all pretty grim, aren't they?
Fuck, I'm going to pick yours again, I reckon.
I'll go
the speed eating.
It's between that and one other, but
I'll go speed eating. Speed eating is
locked in for Luke Hickey.
Chris? I think
making weapons and throwing them
at people.
So the well planned
projectile attacks.
Okay.
The answers are locked in.
I can reveal
that performing elaborate pole
dances which are surprisingly erotic
that comes from the mind of Amanda.
Yes. Fantastic.
That's great stuff.
Are throwing feces at patrons? That's great stuff. Throwing feces at patrons.
That is Chris Ryan.
Mmm.
It was kind of obvious, I thought.
Yeah.
I love that.
Whistling, living on a prayer.
That's Luke Heggy.
Mmm.
Speed eating. Fuck. For the Luke Heggie. Speed eating.
For the current record of 12.6 seconds,
that is Amanda in the House again.
So a point there for Amanda in the House.
And a point to Chris Ryan
because the right answer is
attacking zoo visitors
with well-planned attacks
with rocks and other projectiles
that he creates in his enclosure.
Congratulations.
So before we head to our final question,
what are the scores looking like, Jake?
I'll tell you what, I'm on the edge of my seat up here.
So we've got Luke Heggie is on three.
At most.
And then Chris Ryan, Stormy Head on five.
And then we've got The House on a humble four.
Well, let me tell you, it's anyone's game,
because the final question is worth triple points.
Every week it comes down to the final question.
You just turned up now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You just wander off.
Been here the whole time.
So triple points up for grabs.
You could get...
All right.
Anyone, honestly, can win it from here.
The final question comes from Murray Somerville,
also from Brisbane.
Murray, are you in?
No.
No?
Now, I'd love to meet Murray.
He's a great supporter of all the podcasts that we host
on the Do Go On Network.
Well, obviously not.
Yeah.
But sometimes he's a little bit humble,
and I'm thinking that, Murray,
there's a possibility that you are here,
and I'm just not saying you are.
He also is the responsible drawer,
a very fantastic artist,
for the artwork from Who Knew It With Matt Stewart.
So thank you so much to Murray,
who's given us this question,
and we always finish with a movie question.
We're looking for a plot for a movie.
It's the kind of thing you'd see, like,
on the IMDB summary. It might be... It's usually the longest answer, two, three, four sentences, a movie question. We're looking for a plot for a movie. The kind of thing you'd see on the IMDB summary.
It's usually the longest answer.
Two, three, four sentences of the short paragraph.
The question is, what is the plot
of the 1961 movie
Change of Mind?
Change of Mind.
So a slightly longer answer
you're looking for here.
A short paragraph this time.
To describe the thing that you'd see on the back of a DVD box set
back in the day or on IMDb these days.
Change of mind.
It came out in 1961, but what is the short synopsis for that movie?
And while your answers are being written,
here's some more information about Santino, that chimp.
According to Grunge, like many people,
some chimps don't appreciate being stared at. Take Santino, that chimp. According to Grunge, like many people, some chimps don't appreciate being stared at.
Take Santino, for example.
This ultra-aggressive ape lives in Sweden's Fyrevik Zoo
and whenever guests show up at his exhibit,
he begins hurling rocks in their direction.
Fortunately, the crowds are protected by a five-foot tall fence,
a 30-foot gap and a watery moat.
Still, Santino is the primate version of
Randy Johnson and he occasionally
wings a guest or two.
But his rock throwing skills aren't
what makes Santino super crazy.
Instead, it's his unsettling ability
to plan ahead.
In 2009,
researchers revealed that Santino woke up each
morning to fish stones out of the moat surrounding
his enclosure.
He would then build little rock piles near the water and wait for guests to arrive.
Then at around 11am each day,
he'd grab the stockpiled stones
and start chunking them at the nearby crowd.
Yes, it says chunking them.
While guests were traumatised and occasionally bruised
by Santino's aggression,
researchers were shocked at his ability
to map out attacks in advance.
They also noted that Santino was trying to upgrade his weaponry
by making throwing discs out of concrete in his enclosure.
Hoping Santino would chill out a bit,
zookeepers castrated the chimp.
But that doesn't seem to have stopped him.
If anything, he's now even angrier.
In 2012, researchers noticed that Santino was now hiding his rocks
under logs and piles of hay,
hoping to fool guests into dropping their guard
before launching a sneak attack.
Incredible.
How did you come across Santino, Amanda Amanda you used to work with primates oh my goodness what
were you doing with primates a year of PhD in evolutionary psychology I'm just repeating it
for people at home sorry I'm not not being like are you are you are you serious are you saying
oh that's fantastic and did you ever work with any violent chimps?
I did, actually.
You actually did?
One of the ones up in Rockhampton used to be known for trying to drag peacocks through the roof of the enclosure.
So for the people at home,
one of them in Rockhampton used to be known for dragging peacocks through the roof of the enclosure
and pulling them through the fence.
Wait for them to land on the roof and then just carry like pulling them through the fence and
just pull them in and then just chimps are evil man they are absolutely evil I
can reveal the guests answers are in here it is what is the plot of the 1961
movie change of mind is it and remember these are the longest ones
emily firmly believes in her five-year plan for her life and her career but fate has something
else in store for her after a change after a chance encounter with a free-spirited artist
named ethan their worlds collide in the most unpredictable ways get ready for a roller coaster
ride of laughter love and self-discovery as Emily and Ethan embark on a journey that challenges their perceptions and leads them to the most surprising change of mind.
Is it option two?
A woman scorned.
A man on the run.
A chance meeting changes the course of their lives forever.
Could it be the love story of their lives? Or will she have a change of mind? If they all end with that, I'll be so stoked.
Is it option three?
I am reading what it says.

While investigating, David discovers evidence that will free the racist sheriff.
What will David do?
Free the sheriff to continue his abuse
or ignore the truth to save the town from the racist lawmen?
That's option three.
Or will he have a change of mind?
Option four.

But as his memory starts to return, he is torn between his former popular self and his
new found nerd friends.
Will Chuck ditch the nerds and go back to his old ways or will he learn that sometimes
losing yourself is the only way to find your true self?
A.K.A.
A change of mind.
your true self.
A.K.A.
a change of mind.
Our final option is that
a man is having
difficulty with his
what?
With his disobedient wife.
He hatches a plot to be rid of her forever.
But then finds a way to make their lives work together.
Sorry, let me say that without... But then finds a way to make their lives together work.
Or does he?
Or does he? Or does he
have it change him up?
So I'll do a quick recap
because they're quite long here.
Option one.

career but Faith has something different.
So she meets an artist named Ethan.
Their worlds collide in unpredictable ways.
Option two.
Woman scorned, man on the run.
Another chance meeting here that changes their lives forever.
Could it be the love story or will she have a change of mind?

Yeah.
Is it option four?
Chuck Daniels has it all.
Looks, brains, popular crowd.
But then an accident at football leaves him thinking that he's an awkward, overlooked nerd.
Makes friends with the nerds.
But then starts to remember his old life.
Or is it a man who's having difficulty with his disobedient wife?
Hashes a plot to be rid of her forever.
But then he thinks, can I make it work?
Or does he?
Who's going first? Am I going first? I have a change of mind. Who's going first?
Am I going first?
I believe you're going first.
Sucks going first, actually.
I reckon it's that weird last one.
The weird last one?
Or does he?
Yeah.
Okay, does he?
So you're locking that in?
Okay.
Luke, what are you going for man i'm

I don't know.
They're all pretty wrong.
You're telling me you wouldn't want to watch any of these movies?
It's not in 60s.
I'd watch them all.
Yeah, yeah.

So while Jake is Quickly tabulating the scores,
I can tell you IMDB gives this movie 6.2 out of 10,
so not bad.
Matt couldn't find any decent reviews to read,
but he has found some of their taglines.
These are the taglines.
One really long one.
He was a white man.
They transplanted his brain into a black body.
Then he went home to the woman he loved.
That's it. Surprise? Like surprised
her or what?
That's the tagline. Another one is black
body, white brain.
This is crazy. And finally
a change of living,
a change of loving.
Oh, there we go.
A change of heart.
But Matt couldn't find much else about that.
Let's have a final score check from bottom to top, please,
if you don't mind, Jake.
Who came third, second and first here tonight?
It's been a real rollercoaster here.
So we've got the house is on four.

Honestly, I get it.
Second place, we have Chris Ryan on five.
Round of applause for Chris Ryan.
And in first place, we have the tipper out of himself,
Luke Heggy on nine points.
Congratulations.
That's a flogging in the end.
Now, Chris and Luke, where can people find you
before we sign off here tonight?
Well, funny you should ask that.
Yes.
About two hours from now, we'll be on this very stage.
But at 10 o'clock, we have a show that's not sold out.
The 8.30 sold out, but we've got a 10 o'clock show
doing all new material.
Yep.
Go watch some fireworks and listen to the B105 simulcast
down at the river.
Get out your dolphin torch, shine around a bit,
and get back here for 10 o'clock

Oh, yeah.
I've got a new one called Chris and Sarah Wear the Pants

I love it.
Love it.
A lot of disobedient wives stuff in there, isn't it?
And my podcast is called Mid-Flight Brawls about plane fights.
New one each week.
Two different concepts there.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for coming out.
I know it's been a bit different.
Unfortunately, Matt couldn't be here.
He was so thankful that you came out and bought tickets and supported the show.
We're also supposed to be doing a split stand-up show here today. And Matt didn't be here. He was so thankful that you came out and bought tickets and supported the show. We're also supposed to be doing

So if you want to come along at...
I think it's...
Jake, am I on at 7.30?

7.15.
So we've pivoted.
Instead of him and I doing brand new material,
I'm just going to do my show

So in theory, it should be better.
In theory. In theory. So come along to that. Oh, which I never did up here. So in theory, it should be better. In theory, in theory.
So I'll come along to that.
Oh, and I'm doing Book Cheat tomorrow, live here.

If you think you know anyone who enjoyed it.
Cheers for tuning in to Matt Stewart.
Cheers for tuning in to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart.
And now...
I need to get this right.
Cheers for tuning in to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart.
And now that you're Hornikey, I've been Dave Hornikey.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Thanks, guys.
I met Stefan.
Did you?
Yeah.
Amazing hair.
Short.
Yeah.
I have no idea what the fuck we're talking about.
This is a local celebrity.
It's a Brisbane thing.
Local celebrity, Stefan.
Gold Coast.
Well, he got into speedboats.
Like, he's a fucking big so in the 80s
he was huge man he you know sky needle that's his he moved that over to his office from expo
went for well i'm having that and that was his new office he um built a massive fortune just off
cutting hair which i was always suss off and he used to he had this big boat that he'd flip
he couldn't race it very well
he'd flip it all the fucking time
big pink boat
those
you know those ones
that are just so fast
those ones
and he'd fuck off
and
or he can come back
with a hole full of gear
because you're not
you're not building
millions off cutting hair
but he did have
a lot of products and shit
did you ever go to
Stefan the hairdresser's place
no I looked into it
recently actually
I think I was going to
get a perm for a show up here.
But then, as it suggests, quite permanent.
It was quite an extraordinary experience.
Like 400 bucks or something.
I said, no, I won't be doing that.
Has anyone been to Stefan before?
Oh, my goodness.
What's it like?
How much did it cost?
Too much.
Great ad campaign, though.
They used to have a great aid campaign.
People walked past, you go, Stefan?
Yeah.
Just in the street.
Had a rainbow.
Right.
He expanded.
I had it at the Gold Coast.
My cousin used to cut hair there.
I used to go in.
Wow.
Yeah.
They have a restaurant on the mall here called Jojo's.
Rubbish.
You can tell that because they had an escalator from the street.
You know, escalators are slightly outside.
There's always something sus with that.
They don't fucking work after a while.
The rain gets them.
I'd never go anywhere where there's an escalator.
To my table.
To your table?
Not to individual tables, but like top of the escalator.
There's one terrible business model.
Terrible.
Are you a Silverchair fan?
I would sideswipe them, but not particularly, no.
I mean, fine, yeah.
Yeah, they're all right.
Diorama was good.
Anyone got that?
Fucking good album, actually.
Big Diorama fans here.
I was a fan.
Yeah.
Then Daniel John started turning up at gigs.
Do you know this in Sydney?
You ever see him?
Started turning up at this comedy gig and heckling.
It was fucking weird.
Daniel Johnson's silver chair heckles comedians.
Maybe four or five years ago.
He'd be sitting in this one particular gig.
I think he's made on the bar. He'd just sit
in the dark heckling. Just having a bottle of wine
and going nuts. Did you ever have
the honour of being heckled by Daniel Johns?
No. I was too good.
I'd love to hear that.
No, I wasn't.
He was terrified.
No, he didn't.
I'd love to know what kind of...
I think he's out smoking when I was on.
Right.
Can you think of any heckles that Daniel Johns would deliver?
I'd just say, this is shit.
Just not...
Yeah, not...
It's a classic.
Yeah, not...
Nothing to write home about.
When Silverchair reformed, we know what to do.
Yeah.
This is shit.
I heard it.
Yeah. It's like, yeah, these are the hits.
Option two.
Is he famous for throwing feces at patrons?
Whoa.
This podcast is taking off.
What was that?
That was some kind of plane, yeah?
Oh, yeah.
It's Riverfire.
Riverfire. I was thinking? That was some kind of plane, yeah? Oh, yeah. It's Riverfire. Riverfire.
I was thinking that that was...
I thought it was like Stefan taking off on his boat.
So that was an actual jet.
I'm not sure if the mics picked it up at home, but that was...
I thought the roof was collapsing.
I have shat myself.
Okay.
