welcome to who knew with matt stuart the show where the guests write the wrong answers.
I'm the titular Matt Stewart and our first guest this week is host of our own Twitch channel.
It's Beck Ness.
Yes, the host of the thing you do by yourself.
Man, I did not get through that sentence very well.
I liked it.
The Twitch channel's Beck Ness.
You're Beck Petratus.
Jesus.
What a wonderful
welcome. Thank you, Matt. That's a real hot start
to the show. I liked it. I feel like it's
I reckon it's good to get off
on this level because then we can only
go up from here. Why are we so
mean? Anyway, thanks for having me. You're the king of
Sting, Beck. That's me. That's why people get you
on. Jesus. Our second
guest this week
is host of the
Gamey Gamey Game show. It's Evan
Monroe-Smith. Hey, it's good to be here.
Almost said banana. Almost said banana.
I don't know why. Our third
and final guest this week
is about to head out on tour with me
as we do a new material
show called
Dryer Dryer at Saran Jayamana.
Hello. Thanks for having me. Where are you going? Could it be Saran Jayamana. Hello. Thanks for having me.
Where are you going?
Could it be Saran Dryamana?
It could well be, yeah.
You messed up Beck's name.
You may as well mess it up.
Also, I love that Evan just chimed in and went, where are you going?
He was so concerned.
Can we come?
We're going to Perth.
We're going to be in Perth later this week.
Very soon, yeah.
Yeah.
And then Adelaide after that.
Evan, do you want to go on tour?
How exciting.
Can I go?
Yeah, come with.
No, I can't.
We've got to work.
You know, I really called you a bluff there.
Well, we're going to be at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
You could come to that.
No, I don't know.
We'll be there all month.
I'm busy.
Are you doing a show this year, Bec?
Yes.
When?
Where?
When?
Where?
Oh, man.
Can I look it up?
In Melbourne.
And then find out?
April 8th.
We'll tell people at the end.
Oh, yeah.
Let's tell people at the end.
Tweet to do the plugs at the start.
The show hasn't started yet.
But this is the part they listen to.
Oh, okay.
It's called Nerd F asterisk CK.
Okay.
What does that stand for?
Whatever you want to do.
Feeling cocky.
And also, Evan knows the date because his birthday is the day after my comedy festival show starts.
So that's why I feel like it's important to also acknowledge Evan has a birthday coming up.
In April. In April. That's why he can't join us on Twitter. That's why he feel like it's important to also acknowledge Evan has a birthday coming up. Yeah, in April.
In April.
That's why you can't join us on Twitter.
No, that's why you can't join us.
I thought that's why.
That's fair enough.
But yeah, we'll plug that further later.
Yes, and I'll do a better job, I swear.
All right.
So 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 I have to guess which one is correct.
The first question comes from listener Melissa Gussie from Maynard, Iowa in the United States of America.
I think.
Actually, it doesn't say that, but I assume they're the states of the United in this case.
And the question is, what does cooping mean what does cooping mean and while they're writing their
answers I'll explain how the scoring works so you get a point if your fake answer is guessed by
one of the other contestants and another point if you correctly guess 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 those that I guess choose.
So each of us can score up to three points per round,
which seems fair, but the probability actually favors me, the house,
which is why I've changed some of the rules,
so the final round, the contestants get triple points,
whereas the house does not.
So it's actually pretty fair now, okay?
Very defensive.
Anyway, our questions come from our great Patreon supporters.
And if you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com slash dogoonpod,
which is linked in the show notes.
If you're a Patreon and you don't know how to submit a question, hit me up.
Just DM me there on patreon or wherever
all right the answer in for question number one what does cooping mean
a share house situation particularly though uh for those pigeons who have moved out of home
for the very first time uh an upper respiratory infection with a barking cough
the practice of forcing unwilling participants to vote
a technique used in cooking when multiple chickens are cooked successively
in an oven in the same juices driving around doing doughies in a coupe
or californian slang for dealing with problems or difficulties uh for example
i'm totally not cooping okay like whatever named after marissa cooper from the oc
uh so you got uh pigeons living in a share house uh The respiratory infection with a barking cough. Forcing people to vote.
Cooking multiple chickens in the same juices.
Doing doughies in a coupe.
Or Californian slang for dealing with problems or difficulties.
I just have a general question.
Not necessarily related to the podcast or anything.
Or even any of us.
No, no, no.
What do you guys all think about death?
No, no.
I am like, I think, 10 seconds away from just picking up a pigeon.
And I just wondered if anyone else is the same.
What do you mean, buying a pet?
No, every time there's a pigeon on the ground, I'm like...
Which means picking up like...
Just grabbing it.
Going on a date.
Yeah, yeah.
I want to kiss a pigeon.
A peck. I want to pe on a date. Yeah, yeah. I want to kiss a pigeon. A peck.
I want to peck a pigeon.
Anyway, what?
They don't move very far.
Like, you could grab one.
I know.
And I just think it's really possible that it would like me.
I think it would.
Probably would.
Because pigeons are the ones that have been domesticated and don't know how to make nests.
Yeah.
And you're so good at crafting.
I could craft a little nest.
You could craft a really great nest.
Oh, this is okay.
So I just wondered if it was a thing everyone feels when they see a pigeon just wandering on the ground.
But I feel like it isn't.
But I'll get into it.
Not me.
If it's a solo pigeon, maybe.
Yeah.
But if there's like a bunch.
Like one going down a kayak down a waterfall.
Stop.
Stop.
Like one going down a kayak down a waterfall.
Stop!
There was an ad in the 80s about a... I don't know.
That's got to be an Australian ad, right?
People from Iowa.
Iowa, yeah.
Iowans might not know that.
All right, wait.
There's a soft drink called...
This is a tough one because I could have sworn it was about wine barrels.
Ah.
That's, yeah.
Coopers are...
Is that what a cooper is?
Yeah, coopers are barrels.
So, yeah, I think cooping might have,
probably would have, surely, other meanings.
Is, yeah, general question.
Actually, a specific question.
Is it C-O-U-P or C-O-O-P?
Oh.
I think that would be unfair to answer
after the questions have been written
because maybe some people have written specifically with one of those spellings or the other i don't know
yeah fair enough um yeah man all none of them feel good
put yourself in the mind of an iowan they all feel made up
i guess everything in all feel made up.
I guess everything in life is made up, isn't it?
There is electoral fraud in America, so maybe I'll go with the voting one.
All right, go with the voting one.
Yeah, gerrymandering.
Yeah, that's something that they did up there.
Yeah.
Up there.
Gerrymandering is a great drag king name.
They must already be. Yes.
Gerrymandering. It is phenomenal. Gerrymander King. It's great a great drag king name. Then must already be. Yes. Jerry Mandering is phenomenal.
Jerry Mandering.
It's great for a drag king.
It's great for a drag king.
You could do a drag queen called Jerry.
Oh, you definitely could.
Jerry Womandering, but it doesn't sound as good.
Can you write, so pigeons voting.
Yes, pigeons voting.
You have mine too there.
But yeah, you got the pigeons.
You got the respiratory infection.
You've got the voting.
Got multiple chickens in the same juice.
Deweys and doughies in a coupe.
And California slang for dealing with problems or difficulties.
Named after Marissa Cooper from the SC.
I think because she cooped very well.
I'll go respiratory.
Respiratory.
Sure.
Cooping-off.
Cooping-off.
Coop is actually now, because I wasn't going to go for that.
Because genuinely, here's what I thought. I'm regretting it immediately.
Well, it's too late.
So, I thought you maybe came up with that.
And I don't know why.
I am known for my respiratory disease.
Maybe it's that.
I don't know.
I got to say, I was like, maybe that's Soren.
And then I actually thought you said the answer you've just said.
So, now, no, no.
Maybe I did.
And I'm just, this is a play.
Is that a common play?
People depict their own one?
Yeah.
I think I've done it before.
You're not allowed to lock it in, but you can fake it out.
So you'd have to bail on it by the end.
You're not allowed to lock it in.
Normally by the end I'll say.
You're going to stop me and go, no, you can't pick that one.
Because you locked that one.
Normally I'll say, you're definitely locking that in.
And I'll be like, yes, definitely.
And then eventually I'll say, you can't lock your own one in, Evan.
That's so funny.
Because you can't. You break the game. can't, it just, you break the game.
Oh, okay.
Stop trying to break the game.
For the least, it starts with a suggestive nod.
Yeah.
You definitely lock in one.
How does it break the game?
Don't I just lose?
Like, I just don't get a point because it's not the right one.
Yeah.
But I just feel like that's, losing our purpose is a weird, but maybe that's fine.
All right. And also never convinces a weird... But maybe that's fine. All right.
And also never can miss other people.
You say that having booked me repeatedly.
Yeah, you're always trying to break the end.
But you and Jess Perkins,
and actually quite a few people.
Tom Cashman.
He sort of broke it in a way that he took it super seriously.
Definitely the dum-dum club guys.
Nearly no one's ever taken this seriously.
I'm going to think about it. seriously definitely the dumb dumb club guys nearly no one's ever taking this seriously but yeah i think that people do think of that technique like you pretend to pick it and that'll make others go oh if they're picking it but nearly always people go well i don't want to pick the
same as everyone else so i'm gonna so it actually doesn't even work in that way fair enough all
right you know which one i definitely wouldn't pick is just making sure you're definitely locking in that one uh yeah i can't remember yes uh respiratory
infection and that leaves you back this is gonna sound wild okay and i said that with a bit of vocal
fright because i think it might be the marissa cooper answer and i have no idea why it sounds
also very much like something
someone in this room could make up if but then they would need to remember marissa cooper's name
it could be the house or it could be i forget the person's name that wrote it from iowa
uh you mean polissa gussy yeah because they write one as well right they can they write
suggestions okay and then whether or not i'm feeling inspired
or lazy or whatever i will throw some of my own in sure okay i think melissa probably
watched the oc like me went to supra got the i love the oc t-shirt this is that's a uniquely
australian experience anyway i i i think that one i think marissa cooper from the oc yeah she cooped
I think that one.
I think Marissa Cooper from the OC.
Yeah, she cooped.
All right.
Well, let's go through who wrote the answers.
The share house situation with pigeons.
That was Serene.
It's a good one.
It is good.
Flew the coop, right?
Yeah. And it also makes sense for the word unless it is C-O-U-P, which is it?
We'll find out. Driving around doing doughies in a coupe. C-O-U-P, which is it? We'll find out.
Driving around doing doughies in a coupe, C-O-U-P-E,
was Evan Munnery Smith.
You don't know what a coupe is?
I do now.
What the hell?
The other bird-related one, chickens cooking in their own juices,
that was Beck Petratus.
Oh. That was Bec Petratus.
That means... So none of us picked our own.
That means that the house has done well here,
but one of you has also got the correct answer.
Evan went for an upper respiratory infection with a barking cough.
That was actually Melissa.
Okay, the house.
She got me.
The House was also the Marissa Cooper one.
Fuck!
I like you.
When does who pray, Beck?
Meaning the correct answer is the practice of forcing unwilling participants to vote.
Wow.
It's America.
It's America.
America's got such amazing culture in all sorts of different ways, I think.
Yeah.
Like, they're the dominant pop
culture of the world uh you know they've given us marissa cooper for instance even though she's now
ours on neighbors that actor i believe um but they also have given the world things like forcing
people to vote it's the full spectrum there because i think they have they've got you know
they force people not to vote and they also force other people to vote.
Yeah, that's true.
It's like our whole country is cooped.
Yeah.
We have compulsory voting here.
So, yeah, we've got national cooping.
Is it O-O or O-U in the end?
It is O-O.
You were the only one that went with the O-U.
I was protecting you.
Yeah.
I mean, I still said O-. I was protecting you. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I still said OO in what I wrote.
You're right, Beck.
He doesn't know what it is.
No, he doesn't know what it is.
This is so far
the most surprising thing
that's ever happened on a podcast
that Evan can name a car.
I don't know what kind of car it is,
but I know it's a kind of car.
That's so funny.
Okay, great.
It's a two-door. Oh, great. It's a two-door.
Oh, okay.
It's like a, yeah.
It's a little one.
It's like a little zip, right?
It's a zippy, zippy, zippy.
Oh, I think they're just, yeah, they're, I think, I'm pretty sure they're just two-door
cars.
Yeah.
Is that T-W-O-D-O-U-R?
Feel like a Monaro.
That was a coupe, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think you're right.
It's a shape of a car, not a...
It's not a model.
Yeah.
Right.
I thought you could get...
See, I don't know about cars either.
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
Bloody, I'm just throwing...
Yeah, it's like a sedan, right?
I'm throwing rocks in this glass house.
But it's like a sports car.
And the glass house is a car shape.
Anyway, what?
Yeah, they're normally sporty.
Yeah.
I had a Ford Festeva.
That was not a coupe.
That had two doors, but it was not a coupe.
Hatchback.
That was a hatch Festeva. That was not a coupe. That had two doors, but it was not a coupe. Hatchback. That was a hatchback.
Yes.
A coupe is defined as a closed-roof two-door passenger car
with a three-box body for the engine and passenger compartment.
Well, there you go.
I think that clears that up.
Glad we got to the bottom of that one.
Sorry, everybody.
This is called Nakia.com.
Most importantly, a coupe is a vehicle with interior space
that is under 33 cubic feet.
Most importantly. So specific. And under 33 cubic feet. Most importantly.
So specific.
And fair enough, too.
All right, so after one round, it's Serena on one point,
which is, you know, this is the best start you've ever had.
Unheralded.
The house on two points, and Beck and Evan yet to score.
Sorry, I'm just adding my own sound effects, apparently.
I think that's fantastic.
Excellent.
Question two comes from Danny Lopez Rojina from Pueblo in Colorado.
Danny's question is, which one of these is a real species of crustacean?
Which one of these is a real species of crustacean?
While you're writing your answers, here's some more info on cooping.
According to Melissa
Cooping involved politicians paying
gangs to kidnap men and have them
vote for a specific candidate
To accomplish Cooping, victims were
drugged or forced to drink alcohol
and then disguised so that they could
cast multiple votes for a specific candidate
In addition, many of the victims
of Cooping were either homeless or
immigrants and many were left for dead afterwards.
One of the grimmer facts you'll probably hear today.
Answering for question number two, which one of these are real species of crustacean?
Attitudinal foot lobster?
Sebastia?
Crustacean Sean?
Hang on.
That one snuck up on you He's the guy who knows the answer
You go down a crustacean
Shored by the deer
By the deer
Bollusk
Roly-poly
Or
Atlantic Annabelle Crab.
Phenomenal.
Phenomenal.
It would be funny if we found out that Annabelle Crab was named after a crab.
That's an interesting way to name a person.
But she's a known person.
She's a public figure.
So it's not out of the question that they could have named a crab after her.
I would.
If I found a new species of crab, I'd be like, I'm naming this one Annabelle.
The ABC always do those naming things where they're like, yeah, give us a name.
And it'll be down between crabby McCrab crab and yeah but Atlantic hmm
hey an Atlantic where's the Atlantic
that's not near us the Atlantic Ocean I
think is on doesn't it is that the West
Coast or is that Pacific I don't know
that's it Indian is Indians over there
Atlantic's Atlantic is one of the
American ones yeah can I they all the same ocean?
That's what I was about to say.
I was going to be controversial as well.
One love, one world, one ocean.
It's all wet.
Yeah.
It's all wet to me, man.
Yeah.
Humans are weird.
They love putting borders on things.
Can't we all just be one man?
Gerrymandering.
What are you talking about?
Gerrymandering.
That's a border thing, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's redrawing the lines
Around the district
He's got a lot to answer for that drag king
Amazing lip sync
A terrible public planner
So hands again to Bob Crabbe
Who else was
Roly Poly
Okay
Balls
It's not that I don't think it's that
Crustacean Sean
Crustacean Sean
Crustacean Sean
Go back again I don't think it's that. Crustacean Sean. Crustacean Sean. Crustacean Sean.
Come back again.
Sebastian and Attitudinal Foot Lobster.
Oh, is that?
Is the crab from The Little Mermaid?
Sebastian.
Yes.
Oh, no, lobster.
Yeah, crab.
Is that a crab?
What?
Oh, is there a crab?
Did they name it? Was that a smart naming and not just, crab Is that a crab? Or is there a crab that, did they name it Was that a smart naming
And not just a fun name for a crab
Oh yes, so
Yeah, so they got Sebastian
From the real crab
Sebastian is what you said
But I don't know what type of crab
I don't know crab
Do you know crab?
I don't know anything about crustaceans
I know they have exoskeletons In fact, as I say that, I don't know anything about crustaceans. I know they have exoskeletons.
In fact, as I say that, I don't know that they have those.
No, I think that probably is one of the few things.
Isn't that a source?
Sometimes you get crabs in exo...
Yeah, exo source.
Yeah, that could be it.
Two doors.
I like the Sebastian theory
I reckon that came first
And then they
But what about the animal crab theory
All of these crabs named after
What's the
Did you say something about long something
What was that one
Attitudinal
I don't remember a long one
No that was ball wasp
Oh attitudinal
Yeah that one
Attitudinal
Oh is that the What was that one. Attitudinal.
Oh, is that the first?
What was that one?
Sorry.
Attitudinal or Footlobs.
Were you thinking it was Longitudinal?
Yeah, I thought Longitudinal.
I thought you said that. Or were you thinking Footlong?
Yeah, some way.
I once had...
Because they are crabby as well, famously.
Or are they?
Footlongs?
Crabs.
I have had a footlong seafood sensation.
I don't know if anyone has engaged in the seafood sensation from Subway,
but I would recommend getting them every time.
Every time, get yourself some seafood extender in a footlong.
Foot, a footlong. Foot.
A foot.
Is that just crab and then miscellaneous other bits?
Yeah.
What is Seafood Extender?
It is crab.
It's, I think they.
It's Annabelle crab.
You know how like sometimes dogs have to vomit?
I would give them a.
Hey, I don't think that's just dogs.
We all got to vomit sometimes.
Oh man, Seafood Extender.
Just eat seafood.
Anyway.
I'm locking in Annabelle Crabbe.
Okay.
The Atlantic Annabelle Crabbe.
I don't know.
I just think there's a chance that they named one after her.
That's my theory.
I really wish it was crustacean, Sean.
Why wouldn't you just go crustacean?
Do you know what?
I'm jumping on crustacean.
I'm jumping on crustacean.
That wasn't even a... You mean crustacean Sean.
Is it crustacean Sean?
Actually, yeah.
I've Sean'd it.
I think it could be.
I'm going to go with crustacean Sean as well.
Wait, you're both there?
All right, now, wait a second.
Hold on.
Hang on, we're all...
Ironically, me, because the way I'd mark them down
is I'd put your initials down
And ironically or interestingly
That leads to me writing BS next to it
Yeah, Becca's yet to lock one in
Well, I was almost going on this
But then you left on it
We can both have it
I don't want to knock you off it You should both both be right because you were you were first to it so
no but now maybe i'll i've rethought it because the the way matt's laughing doesn't suggest it's
a real answer but now we know the tactic beck wrote it but now she can't pick it herself
this is how it works This is the play Well if
If Beck can't pick it
That means I can't pick it
Alright
Cause I know now
That it's Beck's
She wrote it
So that would be even
Maybe Serene wrote it
And it's a double
I don't know
So which way are you going
Is this the longest
It's ever taken
To get to two questions
I think it might be
I'm watching the time
Dig up
I'm gonna lock in
Sebastian
Sebastian Okay What about you Beck I'm watching the time dig up I'm going to lock in Sebastian Sebastian okay
What about you Bec?
Crustacean Sean
Ballusk
Am I saying that right Evan?
Yes
It's like mollusk
Kind of
But it's good
But it's good
It's pointy I donk Kind of But it's good But it's good Miracle Yeah
Yeah
It's pointy
I don't know
I like okay
Pointy
It's pretty good at three on three
Actually
Yeah
Attitudinal foot lobster
That was Danny
Okay the house
Then we had
Crust
Crust
Crustacean
What was it Crustace crust a Sean Sean that was the house
I laughed because I stuffed it up I had it written down as crust a Sean Paul but I said
crust a Sean Sean and that's why I was laughing at myself mucking up my own thing I don't
think you would have picked
Crustacean Paul
No I wouldn't
That would be stupid
It was purposely bad
But then I thought
I made it
It became even worse
Crustacean Sean is so good
I'm proud to have picked that answer
I think it's great
Seren went for Sebastian
And this is good I don't think i've ever seen someone
play the game so well that was back and i knocked you off crustacean
if listeners go back and listen to that knowing that beck had written sebastia you'd be like that
was a masterclass thank you i i played among us in 2020, which was peak, you know, on Twitch.
Like, that was all about, like, lying to your friends.
Right.
And I got very good at it during 2020.
Everyone else was like, I'm going to bake some bread.
I'm like, I'm going to lie real good.
It's so funny that that was during the height of COVID,
that game became popular because, like, we don't need friends anymore.
We just burn all the bridges.
Everyone for Atlantic, Annabelle Crab.
That was Saran.
Oh, Saran.
So good.
I was worried because your logic about Atlantic.
I was like, oh, they've seen through it.
I don't know anything about oceans.
And then finally, that means the correct answer was the roly poly.
What?
Oh, my God.
I knew that. Evan, I think, straight away said, well What? Oh, my God. I knew that.
Evan, I think, straight away said, well, it's not that one.
I knew that.
A roly-poly is just those little bugs.
They are crustaceans.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
But Evan also, his answer was ball-usk.
He's like, there already is a roly-poly.
Oh, I knew the answer.
That's so funny.
So, anyway, Beck gets a point. House funny. So anyway, Beck gets a point.
House gets a point.
Seren gets a point.
Meaning after two rounds, the scores are Evan on no points, Beck on one point, Seren on two points.
But out in front on three points, it's the house.
Here's question number three.
In the room, this has gone very long, but the edit's going to be,
we'll probably be three minutes in at this point.
Here's question number three.
The next one was written by Jessica Gruber from Kent in Washington.
Jessica's question is,
what was the headline in the Washington Post involving the Denver Zoo
on the 21st of December, 2023?
What was the headline in the Washington Post involving the Denver Zoo on the 21st of December 2023. What was the headline in the Washington Post involving the Denver Zoo?
Not too long ago, a month or so back, December 2023.
While you're writing your answers.
Sorry, I'm so full of it.
I thought of a really bad answer,
and now I'm trying to decide whether to throw it in.
Well, I think bad answers have been pretty well so far.
Here's a bit more info about roly-polies.
According to Danny, roly-polies have gills even though they live on land and breathe in the moisture in the dirt.
When it comes to drinking, roly-polies have two choices.
They can drink from their mouths like most creatures, or they can use tube-shaped structures that jut out of their rear ends.
They eat harmful metals in the earth,
and the females carry their eggs in the pouch for two to three months until they hatch.
Even after hatching, young pill bugs, which is their other name,
may return to the pouch and continue to grow
and be nourished through their mother's marsupial fluid
before heading out into the world.
Marsupial fluid?
Man, I haven't checked it.
I'm taking Danny's word for all of this.
This sounds like a wild creature.
Also, as kids, there were so many in my region, this is Danny still speaking,
that my sister and cousins and I formed our own little group called the Roly Poly Scouts
and had a song for it and everything.
We mostly just watched them crawl around in the garden
because they are cute.
Well, that's bloody cute, to be honest, Danny.
I hope you reform the Roly Poly Scouts.
I'm going to look up what these look like.
Roly Polies.
They're the little things in the garden that are like...
How do you spell poly?
P-O-L-Y.
As a kid
i used to call them butchy boys oh they're like slaters yeah they are slaters oh oh yeah i don't
know why i call them butchy boys but it feels like it could be uh one of those australian terms that
turns out to be racist and now i've said it out loud please boys make sure it's not
according to vocabulary.com uh Roly poly is also Uh
British slang for
Short and plump
Yes
Yeah that's
Wasn't there a naughty character
Called the roly poly
Police man or something
Yeah I think that rings a bell
Um
It was Captain Plod
But there was some
Sort of roly poly man
Or something
I think
I think they were like
Two sort of roly poly guys
Rolling around Oh and it's a thing Yes that's right It's a jam roly poly recipe sort of roly-poly guys rolling around.
Oh, and it's a thing.
Yes, that's right.
It's a jam roly-poly recipe.
Russell Polly.
Recipe.
You sound like an Australian from Skippy in the 80s.
Oh, it's a Russell Polly.
Or maybe like an American doing an Australian accent.
Check out this Russell Polly.
No, check out this Russell Polly.
Here is question number three.
What was the headline in the Washington Post involving the Denver Zoo, December 21, 2023?
A baby orangutan's paternity was unclear.
Maury Povich has the results.
Missing porcupine brain returned to zoo.
Pinky still missing. That one you can interpret a couple of different ways. Is Pinky the porcupine brain returned to zoo. Pinky still missing.
That one you can interpret a couple of different ways.
Is Pinky the porcupine?
Or is it missing a finger?
Either there were two porcupines, Pinky and the brain, named after the cartoon characters,
or one porcupine was kidnapped piece by piece and they haven't got it all back yet.
Shock cooping scandal denver zoo
marmosets forced to vote in republican primaries
elephant labeled republican with its distinctive trumpeting
i think he's trying to make a boob. A zoo's ruse lose despite pre-awards schmooze.
Or zoo explodes.
That's my...
I'm tempted to go that one straight away.
But I would have...
We would have heard if a zoo exploded, right?
Yeah.
This was like three weeks ago.
Bow.
Is this three weeks ago?
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah.
December 2023.
Oh, man.
And which thing?
Denver Zoo.
Oh, sorry.
Which publication?
Apologies.
Washington Post.
Okay.
Oh, so it could be Zoo Explodes.
It could be Zoo Explodes.
Yeah, that's quite a straight publication.
They're not like the, you know, NT, was it NT News or whatever?
Yeah, NT News, Herald Sun.
Our local one that has some pretty punny type headlines.
Matt could be leaving off like, maybe it's like,
Matt, Zoo Explodes!
With visitors.
Yeah.
It could be like oh
it could be a mistaken headline click baby yeah click this it is their winter so it would be
does that make explosions less likely in the cold yeah the cold air
yeah it's on the condor. Are elephants the Republican character?
Yeah, and the donkeys are the...
Why are you asking this question?
You know this.
I couldn't think of what the Democrat one was.
Evan watches Rachel Maddow like it's play school.
That's why he's asking what the Republican one.
He's very familiar with the Democrat one
because Maddow's a stooge.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know. Is that right? I feel like Coupé is a... Yeah, she's a stooge. Yeah. I mean, I don't know.
Is that right?
I feel like Coupé is a...
Yeah, she's a stooge.
Love watching her.
Everyone on MSM is a stooge.
But anyway.
Yep.
You're just watching it to keep your eye on the lamestream media.
Yeah.
So you got Baby Orang-Tang paternity test unclear.aternity Unclear, Maury Povich has the results.
Missing Porcupine, Brain, Return to Zoo, Pinky still missing.
I should say Pinky and the Brain are capitalised, so it probably is their names.
Oh, okay.
Shock, Cooping Scandal, Denver Zoo, Marmoset's forced to vote in Republican primaries, which is fun.
Marmoset's primates? Doesn't matter. Which is fine. Marmosets primates.
Doesn't matter.
Elephant label Republican with its distinctive trumpeting.
Zoo's ruse lose despite pre-award schmooze or zoo explodes.
Zoo's ruse.
Can you give me that one again?
Zoo's ruse lose despite pre-award schmooze.
You know, there's like a Walkley award here that's for headlines.
And so often like one of those ones wins. And I'm like'm like god damn it like so many good joke writers in this fucking country
and like we're so reliant on rhymes people still think oh rhyming and now i feel bad that this is
someone's answer oh no but also that like i think rhyming ones like that as headlines were impressive pre, you know, Word Hippo and Rhyme Zone type websites.
Yeah, true.
Like, if you have to at least think of the rhymes yourself,
but if you're just looking at a list of rhymes and you're picking them out,
I think that's pretty lazy bullshit.
I don't know what Word Hippo is.
I feel like you've outed yourself here, Matt.
Some of your best punchlines are rhymes.
Word hippo, it's a thesaurus.
Oh, no, that's not the right one.
Rhyme zone, I'm pretty sure, is a rhyming word.
Word hippo's got, yeah, they've got...
But you can use those words in raps and rhymes.
Yeah, yeah.
As you well know.
Yeah, which is more siren's game
i'm gonna lock in ruse schmooze at the zoos the one with all the rhyming because i feel like the
yeah that is a headline yeah and it you can see the situation they put their kangaroos into some
competition oh and there's a that's fair there's a bit of whining and dining. I know this is unlikely, but I feel like...
Washington Post, right?
Yep.
I think it's probably the one about...
I think it's the brain one.
Okay.
Because I...
And also, how embarrassing would it be to lose an animal part by part?
I know that's not what happened to you, but to steal an animal, like, steal its arms,
and you're like, oh, I didn't notice that went,
and then someone nicked its brain,
and then they returned it.
Yeah, I wonder how much of the animal you'd need to steal
before people start noticing.
Yeah, I mean, on some.
They're going, Jesus, he's been really laughless lately.
Realising the brain has been stolen.
I think it might be that one
And I also
Yeah I think it's that one
Because you said
You think that one's unlikely
Can I just
Say which one you think is likely
If you were going with a different strategy
Explode
Explode
Explode definitely
Explode no
I was going to go Pinky and the Brain
I just remembered
But
Sorry
But
Because I think Who's That's a weird reference who's making
that up you can't make that up so um i thought that was reasonably likely uh but since beck has
done it and for the sake of of picking something else i'm gonna go with the republican elephant
because it's a very politically it's always politically charged times in the States, but particularly now, it's an election year.
There's, you know, there's a lot going on.
And also, the Washington Post is, you know,
covering a lot of politics.
I think maybe that's the second most likely.
All right.
Yeah, after the Pinky the Brain.
And I'd love to know,
because obviously this is a written article,
but would love to hear what the trumpeting sounded like
that made it so Republican.
Yeah, I don't know.
Does it sound like...
I don't know.
I imagine, wouldn't it be something to do with...
Trump!
Somehow.
Trump!
Oh, he's trumpeting.
I don't know.
It's onomatopoeic.
Yeah, maybe.
Just he's trumping Trump. I thought trumpeting. I don't know. It's onomatopoeic. Yeah, maybe. Just he's trumpeting.
Yeah.
No.
I thought it could be sort of economic analysis as well.
An in-depth.
Small government.
This is what a trump is.
All right.
Here's who wrote the answers.
Zoo Explodes.
That was Evan Monroe Smith.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Great work.
That's really good. Shock, cooping, scandal, Denver Zoo, Marmoset's forced to vote in Republican prim work. That's really good.
Shot,
cooping,
scandal,
Denver Zoo,
marmosets,
forced to vote
in Republican primaries.
That was Saran.
Bit of Republican activity going on.
Then we had
Zoo's ruse,
lose despite
pre-award schmooze.
That was me
and I did that
on Word Hippo.
I feel less bad now.
No, no, you were 100% right.
But also, you're trying to mimic the bad headlines.
Yes, true.
So it's actually, you haven't got me.
No, I'm having a go at it.
The system.
I am, and journalism in general.
I was actually spoofing the staff.
Spoofing?
I was spoofing.
Yeah, yeah, Matt's always spoofing. Some editors. Matt loves spoofing. I spoofing yeah yeah Matt's always spoofing
sub editors
I'm at life spoofing
I got them
got them right
between the eyes
missing
porcupine brain
return to zoo
pinky still missing
Beck went for that
it was actually
Jessica
okay the hell
you can't make that up
what things are left
elephant labelled
republican with its distinctive trumpeting,
whichever one it was.
That was Beck.
Meaning the correct answer is a baby orangutan's paternity was unclear.
Maury Povich has results.
Really?
Oh, my God.
That's genuinely amazing.
That was, out of all of them, I was like, that could be right,
but that sounds unlikely.
But also, what a fun, that is actually a really good idea is that
a bit tongue-in-cheek though there or does mori public actually have the result i think they
probably i think yeah they did that as like a bit of a they i'll explain that to the listeners in a
second but very briefly they weren't sure who the father was they got the results and then as a bit
of a stunt they got maury to that it. I love the Dead Mizzou.
I think it's the kind of thing as well that, Beck,
you would have known for sure if you were still working at the project.
Yeah, exactly.
And I've completely jumped out of the news. But this does sound like one of those news stories that I would have picked up.
It's just I was probably busy at the time with,
I'm trying to think of what was happening.
Was there a mascot recently who was doing something weird?
I think it was that.
I was probably distracted by a basketball mascot.
A basketball mascot.
It was Christmas week as well.
I was distracted by it.
At that time, there was a Pop-Tart.
Yes.
Did you see this?
That looked like Jesus?
No.
No, no, no.
It was just a Pop-Tart mascot, and it was a football game,
and then it was on top of a big toaster,
and then it got lowered into the toaster
and then it came out of the toaster
and then the whole football team ripped apart this Pop-Tart thing
that was alive and then was made of Pop-Tart.
I love multiple part mascots.
The best one is that Japanese baseball one, the skeleton fish.
And it like...
It comes out.
Yeah. That's so great. very great very ingenious yeah I must have missed both of these because of the zoo explosion it was a big story I had to, like, scroll the age on my phone
to make it look like I was writing something longer.
The zoo explodes.
Missing porcupine brain returns.
You could have merged the two together.
Yeah, could have.
All right, question number four comes from David Malofsky from London, baby.
That's how David describes it anyway.
Question is, why did John Dillamond,
the Danish stop-motion animated children's TV series,
create controversy after its release in 2021?
Why did John Dillamond,
Danish stop-motion animated children's TV series,
create controversy after its release in 2021?
This show is called John Dillamond.
Yeah, so it's just about a guy called John Dillamond.
And it's stop motion?
Stop motion.
And it's Danish.
Okay.
I just ate the Danish.
Oh my God.
I wonder if you're going to work that into your answer.
You should know, Evan.
While they're writing their answers, here's a little more info about the baby orangutan
story.
According to Jessica, in August of 2023, a baby orangutan named Sisca
was born to mother Irina.
The problem was the zoo did not know
which male, Barani or Jaya,
had fathered the infant.
After a few months,
staff were able to get a hair sample
from the infant to confirm paternity
and reached out to Maury Povich,
famous for his paternity test results on his show,
to announce the father.
Maury agreed and made a video of the results for the zoo to use to reveal paternity bit of fun and jessica uh
i didn't give say this before because we'd have given it away but jessica is a bit of a
a primate uh specialist she volunteers at the zoo in seattle and she gave me the tour around there i got to meet the orangutans that maurice from plan of the apes was based on real
life highlight anyway while you're still writing your answers let's go for a quick break
all right we're back here is question number four why did John Dillamond, the Danish stop-motion animated children's TV series,
create controversy after its release in 2021?
A mistranslation of his catchphrase,
I have the power to touch minds,
became touching yourself gives me power in several Eastern European countries.
The lead character is in a same-sex relationship,
which triggered complaints that the show is
unsuitable for children.
It was a blatant rip-off
of Australia's Bluey, a cartoon
about a family of dogs
using badly translated scripts.
He has a prehensile
penis that can extend dozens
of meters, which some found inappropriate.
All of the Clay characters were made with the creator's own hair fingernails
and in some violent scenes even his own blood was used as a prop.
Or the creatives did not understand the brief
and when the series was released it was just half an hour of a bloke,
John Dillamond, gesturing to oncoming traffic
to halt using his hand in a stomp
motion.
Why were you laughing while you read
that out?
The run-up was so
great.
Knowing where it was
going, I would have been happy to read
a few pages.
Saran, that's a beautiful answer, by the way.
Oh, far out.
I mean, there has been a few bluey ripoff incidents lately.
Right.
I'm leaning towards that bluey one
because I feel like There was that weird like
Wasn't there like
I'm gonna say
Whatever wire
I can't remember what it is
That stupid right wing
Website made a
Yeah they made a bluey
They made their own bluey
But it was woke
Oh really
Yeah they made woke bluey
Which I think is very funny
Because I think bluey
Well no it's not woke bluey
Oh sorry opposite Normal bluey is woke bluey Normal bluey is woke bluey Is normal bluey which i think is very funny because i think blue no it's not work bluey oh sorry opposite
normal blue is normal blue is all like is is normal bluey work yeah he's awake apparently
sorry she's awake the whole time uh yeah knowing that it is a lead character's dog is a woman
i forgot about it that is pretty pretty work. That's pretty work.
Yeah, I feel like... I mean, it's about Queensland.
Anyway, let's not get into it.
Yeah, I'm leaning towards that bluey answer.
But I...
What was the giant dick one again?
Pre-hensile penis that can extend extend dozens of meters okay you're drawn to that
one ev um no i just thought i said it funny prehensile as well that means like a monkey's
tail it's prehensile means it can use it to climb and oh wow so it's like a it's a whole other level
what was that um there was like a stop motion animation a while back that won like an oscar that was um i think about that a lot when it comes to stop motion animation because
in my head stop motion fun haha um good time wales and gromit right yeah you know yeah yeah
that normal sentence pingu pingu of course whereas yeah i i always forget that you can do
serious serious stuff yeah and you can have you can do serious stuff. Yeah.
And you can have a prehensile penis that comes along and goes, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's sort of, in keeping with, like, it's informative, educational.
Because I didn't know that a prehensile could hold things.
There you go.
So I would have learnt that through.
I think it's also the perfect media for that story.
If you heard that there was a kid's show about a guy with a prehensile penis,
you'd be like, it's got to be stop animation.
Yeah, it does.
I like the idea, too,
of a penis holding a cup of tea really like this.
Yeah.
No one can see this but me,
but I'm kind of holding, you know.
Being fancy but using your dick. Yeah, being fancy but using your dick.
Yeah, that is very fun.
A plier sprinkling salt on it.
Salt baying it.
Salt dick bay.
Salty dick bay.
Salty dick bay.
It just takes so long to make.
Like, the amount of, like, you know, so many...
It's like modelling that penis and, like, moving it around frame by frame.
Just months to make, like, one second of animation.
You know why it takes so long?
It's all the stopping.
Yes.
Yeah, I think I said stop animation before.
That's not what it is, is it?
People call it that.
It's stop motion.
That's a campaign.
Stop animation.
Real life actors are like, we've got to stop this.
I think Star Wars had their take on it was go animation maybe, potentially.
They did a thing when they were shooting all their models of, you know,
X-Wings or whatever they've got.
I'm not really a Star Wars guy.
But I think they were doing stuff, Lucasfilm, where they,
because one of the things with stop motion animation is obviously
everything's stationary.
When you move it a bit, you take a picture.
Move it a bit, take a picture.
Take a picture.
All right, Joe Dolce.
a bit you take a picture move it a bit take it a picture take it a picture but what you don't get is any any of the motion blur so that so the problem it always looks kind of like choppy or
jittery and so they had a technique where as you press the shutter it like moves the thing a tiny
bit so it creates a little bit of blur in the frame.
That's fun.
Still bit by bit, but it just moves a little bit when you take the shutter.
That's smart.
But no, no, no, I've never looked at a Wallace and Gromit and gone,
not enough motion in this.
Well, these days you can just add motion blur in post-production.
I always thought I can do Wallace and Gromit mouth.
This is not good for podcast.
But look at this.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Cheese Gromit grommet cheese grommet yeah you can
yeah i got waltz and grommet now you could have been made by art man and i
i wish i was art man would be they'd be great uh if they did a comedy festival
show i thought you'd say a penis show they
would do a great show at the comedy festival but art man
first in the guide art man is also a great painting show at the Comedy Festival. But Ardman. First in the guide. Ardman is also a great drag king name.
Ardman!
No, it's not that good.
Maybe a good superhero name?
I'm going Bluey.
Okay.
I'm glad you snapped us out of that.
No, I noped out a bit.
I'd forgotten what we were here for.
I think maybe the first one for some reason.
I can't remember what it is, but I responded to that.
The mistranslation of I'm touch monster touching yourself gives me power yep you can't make that up i think uh it's the creative using his own hair and um in one
particular violence in his blood okay looking at seren here's who wrote the answers uh the creatives did not understand the
brief ended up just filming half an hour of a bloke john dillerman gesturing to oncoming traffic
to halt using his hand in a stop motion that's my favorite answer ever written on this show That was Saran Yes I thought because it was the funniest one
I thought yeah Saran's doing a funny one
On the other hand
It's funny how
The different ways you can not get picked
Do something really funny
Or something serious
Like the lead characters in a same sex relationship
That was Evan Monroe Smith
Wow
Wow Evan That felt like That felt realsex relationship that was evan monroe smith wow wow evan that felt
like that felt real that was gonna be picked i thought that was uh maybe realistic enough but
then i was also as soon as i wrote i was like yeah but why would you write a question about
that on a comedy quiz show that was the only reason i didn't yeah it's not much fun is it
yeah it's pretty that's a grim question to bring up that's the exact reason i picked the
hair and not that one i was like the hair is notable that's probably something uh well
speaking of the hair one that was written by beck petraeus Well done. Yeah, thank you. I love blood.
Beck chose the one about the blatant ripoff of Australia's Blue.
That was The House.
Oh, that was good.
As was the one Evan went for.
David Malofsky, aka The House, wrote the Touching Yourself Gives Me Power
in several Eastern European countries.
That means the correct answer no one got.
I don't think anyone's picked a correct answer yet, maybe.
He has a prehensile penis.
What?
That can extend dozens of meters.
What?
Which some found inappropriate.
Amazing.
Oh, my God.
We're watching this after.
Is it a kid's show?
It is a kid's show.
Wow.
Because they're like, it's trying to teach, like Saran said, teach about the body without too much stigma and that sort of stuff.
But yeah, some, apparently it's very popular, but some have, some complained.
I'm so sorry.
I had to look it up immediately.
And there is him with like a little, he's playing shuttlecock with like a, and he's like holding the racket with his penis.
Really not like the way I was saying.
Yes.
Oh, but his penis is wearing something.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's not a naked penis.
His penis is sheathed with his own clothes.
Sort of like a Where's Wally kind of red and white.
Oh my God, he's holding a sausage with his penis
and leading a bunch of dogs.
This is the best.
I've got to watch this.
It sounds like a lot of fun.
Why is this controversial?
This is fun. Well, I think it's not that, It sounds like a lot of fun. Why is this controversial? This is fun.
Well, I think it's not that, you know, but anything's controversial.
Yeah, yeah.
And media like to focus on the vocal minority who make a big fuss about things like this.
I should say, Saran did actually, we've had one of the correct answers guessed, and that
was round one, Saran got it.
All right.
All the other ones have gone
unpicked
how many questions
left are there
there are
three to go
okay
so I've got
that round
again two points
to the house
and one point
to Beck
so
it is
it's getting to the
point where you
three need to lift.
Yeah.
The scores are...
Me in particular.
On zero points.
Sorrento on two points.
Beck on three points.
But now way out in front on seven points.
It's the house.
Remembering the final round's worth triple points for you guys.
So still truly anyone's game.
Question five comes from Alex Spohr from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Looks like a very American episode this week.
Alex's question is,
What is the name of Jerry Reid's third and final number one hit country song from 1982?
What's the name of Jerry Reid's third single from his 1982 album,
which was a number one hit on the country charts?
And while you're writing your answers, here's some more info about John Dillamond.
According to David,
my brother-in-law who lives in Norway
told us about this at Christmas.
Dillamond translates to penis man.
I knew you were about it.
It's perfect.
John Penis Man.
Oh, man.
And I'm going to read a bit of an article on CNN about it.
CNN. Oh, man. And I'm going to read a bit of an article on CNN about it. CNN?
Now I'm going to read a bit of an article from CNN about it,
which writes,
Denmark's flagship broadcast,
basically their version of ABC or BBC or whatever,
has suffered blowback over its newest children's TV program,
John Dillamond,
an animation starring a man with a penis so massive and
flexible it can save children from danger, fetch objects from a river, and operate as a pogo stick.
The show, whose 13 episodes are available to watch on the DR Network's website,
follows its titular character as he navigates an array of unexpected scenarios caused by his
inexplicably huge genitalia. In episode one for instance the
mustached Dillamond uses his gigantic stripy organ as a lead for his dog but quickly finds
himself inundated with requests from his neighbors to take their pets out for a walk too.
At another point in the show he is stuck floating in mid-air after balloons are tied to his groin.
In another episode he breaks a friend's vase
with his penis and must raise money to pay them back. And in a third, he uses it to steal an ice
cream at the zoo. The show's opening montage also shows him using his genitals to keep a lion away
from a group of children. The show was generally met with hilarity in Denmark and across the
internet, with many praising it as an appropriate and light-hearted way to teach children about the human anatomy but some took issue with the main
character's central trait danish politician morden messerschmidt a member of the right-wing
danish people's party said children should not be forced to watch a cartoon depiction of an adult
man's groin i don't know are they forced yeah i wonder maybe it's maybe they're being cooped into it as well uh a handful of parents have taken to facebook this is the funny thing it is always it's
a handful but then the articles are written and then there's the backlash against the backlash
and that they know what they're doing yeah uh but yeah handful of parents got on facebook urging them to remove the program and a spokesperson for
dr told cnn that most of those who criticized the program did so without even having seen the show
because it wasn't released yet now the great majority here in denmark are making fun of the
few critics instead sarah cecily added hundreds of thousands are supporting John Dillerman now.
In Denmark, it is now a huge success,
and the children are watching it in big numbers, she said,
telling CNN that 200,000 people had already viewed the first episode
soon after its release.
In the network's online description of the show,
they state that while Dillerman's janitors get him into embarrassing situations,
it can be used for good once he embraces that he is different.
Matt, about two minutes ago you said titular character don't you mean penis
is this good dictula dictula oh dictula is good that's good yeah yeah no i think penis
but now i do want to see a boob one.
I want to see this character, but boob?
Yeah.
Real long ones.
Because people are mean about boob.
We've said this earlier in the episode.
Any boobs.
I was going to say any boobs are cold.
That's not what I wanted to say.
Every boob is sacred.
Every boob is sacred.
And some boob real long. And that's fine, and it's good,
and it's useful for society, and it can go pick up things.
Yeah, so we just need to find out what the Danish word is for boob woman,
and we'll call it Joan boob woman.
Joan boob woman.
All right, let me just quickly find this out.
Joan boob Woman. Joan Boob Woman. All right, let me just quickly find this out. Joan Boob Woman.
Typing.
Here we go.
Oh, looks like it translates to boob.
I will go with breast.
No, that translates to breast.
What's the word that's going to come up in Danish?
Tit?
No, tit's tit.
Let's just go with...
Joan Breast Woman.
It translates to Joan Boob Fiend.
That's a nice name.
Boy or girl?
I'm in.
All right. The answer in for question number 5
what is the name of Jerry Reid's
third and final number 1 hit
from
his country album of 1982
that big old barn
is actually a shed
she got the gold mine
brackets
I got the shaft
oh
that's nice
strum me like a guitar
stroke me like a fiddle.
My horse got sick and you left me.
A spider bit my balls.
Brackets, now they're as big as my love for you.
Or gerrymandering.
It'd be interesting if there was a callback
There was also an answer
I did notice that Evan was scrolling
For quite a long time on the Age website
Another classic efficient answer from Evan
What was the first one again?
That big old barn is actually a shed
Oh the second one
What was the second one?
She got the gold mine
I got the shower That's beautiful It is beautiful yeah and lock it in yeah i will

no people still had horses in the 80s it was the 80s right yeah people slept off now
oh the horse industry when cars came along All the horses died
They all have horse power
We don't need the horse no more
It would
Yeah today it would actually be
My car broke down
And you left me
Yeah they'd update
My coupe broke down
I kind of feel like the
The fiddle one
Evan you answer
I'm thinking
I'm gonna go the guitar fiddle one
well god damn it
what is happening
alright
can you say them again
I'm so sorry Matt
that big old barn
is actually a shed
she got the gold mine
I got the shaft

strummed like a fiddle
my horse got sick
and you left me
spider-man my balls
now they're as big
as my love for you
gerrymandering
now fuck it I think it's spider balls I'm going spider balls sick and you left me. Spider-Man and the Balls, now they're as big as my love for you. Gerrymandering.
Now fuck it. I think it's Spider-Balls.
I'm going Spider-Balls because what if it is? And what if I'm right?
Yeah, could be the best moment of your life.
It could be. I can't wait for that.
You could have a new theme song.
I know you've been looking for one. I have been.
Alright, here's where I write the answers.
That big old barn is actually a shed.
That was Saran.
What did that mean, Saran?
What to you?
That was a euphemism for like...
No, I just don't know country music very well.
They're about barns.
Gerrymandering.
That was Evan Munro-Smith.
Yeah. That age website scrolling did was Evan Monroe Smith. Yeah.
That age website scrolling did go well for you.
His name's Gerry.
Oh, yeah.
That is actually okay.
All right.
No one got that?
No.
My horse got sick and you left me.
That was Beck.
You got the sadness vibe.
Yeah, I was like, that was the first.
I went, what's the first thing I can think of?
Because I thought country music was a bit more simplistic,
but clearly one of the answers is beautiful, hauntingly.
Struck me like a guitar, struck me like a fiddle,
whichever one it was, that was the house.
As was the spider bit my balls, and then there was a that was the house. As was, despite a bit of my balls,
then there was a big smile on my face.
Wow, I can't believe that.
Meaning that Becky were right in the first place
and Serene was right.
And as she got the gold mine, I got the show.
So good.
So, again, that's two points to the house.
You guys keep.
Honestly, it's so lucky I forgot that his name was Jerry.
Keep.
Honestly, it's so lucky I forgot that his name was Jerry.
So, with only a couple of rounds to go, Evan's on zero points.
Saran and Becker on three points.
But the house is out in front on nine points.
Wait, no.
Boo.
Boo. Boo house.
All right.
Question number six.
Can you please stop picking my answers?
Question number six comes from Heidi from Hastings.
And that's out near your way back, Hastings?
Yeah.
Are you sure it isn't Hastings in England?
Yeah, there was a battle there.
Oh, yeah.
Could be there.
There's also a battle in the Hastings here.
Okay.
But it was about Alka-Pops.
I went to a bottle shop recently.
It was an IGA one, and it had so many throwback drinks,
like those pre-mixed cowboy.
Yeah, they're all back.
Copsucking cowboy shots.
There was also a bucket of pre-made shots.
It was like 16 shots in a bucket.
Oh, my God.
And I think the bucket is helpful for later.
Yeah.
All right.
So, Heidi's question is,
what happened in Memphis, Tennessee on the 6th of September, 1916?
What happened in Memphis, Tennessee on the 6th of September, 1916?
While you're writing those answers, let me tell you more about that.
1982 country hit.
According to Alex, the song is hilarious and has bad lines like
well i tried to get in she changed the lock then i found this note stuck on the mailbox it said
goodbye turkey my attorney will be in touch that's good stuff and also while she's living
like a queen on alimony i'm working two two shifts, eating bologna, asking myself,
why didn't you just learn to cook?
He, I think it's set up earlier that he got married
because he didn't like his own cooking,
which is a bit of fun.
Yeah, that's really cool.
That's so cool.
That's why I also got married.
What a cool thing to do.
Everyone listening,
don't forget to make your life partner choices based on your diet.
All right.
The answer in for question number six.
What happened in Memphis, Tennessee on the 6th of September, 1916?
The first I want you Uncle Sam poster is displayed to encourage Americans to enlist in the army.
Elvis's grandma shot a man and only admitted to it on her deathbed.
She shot him because he looked at her funny.
The blue suede shoe shop that later inspired a hit song was opened.
A runaway coal train derailed and crashed into the Memphis bank,
leading to a month-long cleanup effort.
A shop named Piggly Wiggly opened changing the supermarket game forever
or the very first KFC
restaurant opened
then known as MFC
the zingers went off
the M being
for Memphis I reckon
I would like to thank whoever wrote that
because I know that's
very true someone else picked that because I know that's very true. Someone else picked that.
Someone else picked that last one.
That one sounds – I have too much KFC knowledge.
Yeah, if people want to hear the history of KFC,
which, of course, began in 1916 with an MFC,
Bec Petratus did a Do Go On podcast episode about it a little while ago.
I am.
I've recently been almost...
You know when you
look up the KFC merch website
and you're like,
maybe this could be my whole wardrobe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You could be...
Yeah, bucket head.
Bucket hat.
You can buy a bucket hat.
It's got the pattern of the bucket hat.
You can buy like a
a Letterman jersey sort of thing.
Sorry, Letterman jacket,
but it's KFC. That's it. Oh, Letterman jacket, but it's KFC.
That's it.
Oh, that is, yeah.
It's good.
I already have KFC trackie pants.
Anyway, let's continue.
You know the St. Kilda Football Club,
like their logo is STKFC.
So that's another reason for you to really get behind the boys.
Do they have chicken?
They contend me with chicken.
Yeah, they probably have chicken.
Okay, all right.
I mean, I'm okay.
I mean, all right.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Saran, any of these jumping out at you?
You've got the only one.
You, Uncle Sam poster, Elvis' grandma shot a man,
blue suede shoe shop opened,
runaway coal train derailed,
crashing the Memphis Bank,
Piggly Wiggly opened,
changing the supermarket game forever,
or first KFC was open as an MFC.
Yeah, I reckon maybe the runaway Coltrane.
Okay.
Ooh.
The singer Coltrane?
Yeah, John.
I think it was John.
He was a big unit.
Months long cleanup.
Running into banks.
Just running into it real fast
I
I
I don't know
My ears
Peaked at
Blue suede shoe shop
Except the song isn't about a shop
Isn't it?
Isn't it just about shoes?
You have to buy the shoes from a shop
Why would you
I don't know And why Why does the shop only sell blue suede shoes? You have to buy the shoes from a shop. Why would you? I don't know.
And why?
Why does the shop only sell blue sweat shoes?
They've gone all in.
It sounded immediately, like, the start, it sounded convincing.
And then you think, the more you think about it, the more it does make sense.
I don't know.
I feel like it does.
Because Memphis, he has to have written about blue sweat shoes for some reason.
There could be other reasons.
It's probably more likely. i'm gonna go uh maybe piggly wiggly all right i'm gonna go i'm locking in piggly
locking in piggly wiggly for evan what do you think beck i'm gonna do that rare thing where
i also lock in piggly wiggly because i actually think that might be the answer. I love Piggly Wiggly. I love that Piggly Wiggly exists.
I think it's just so good.
The fact that someone went, yes, shop name Piggly Wiggly.
I'm not familiar with Piggly Wiggly.
Really?
Oh, Evan.
Do you feel even more confident now that you know it's a real thing?
Or am I about to nope out of it?
I think I vaguely thought it was a real thing,
but I don't know what it is.
I go on about it every day.
Every day I wake up and go,
Evan, remember, Piggly Wiggly exists.
Life is good.
What's the Australian equivalent of Piggly Wiggly?
I think it's probably not quite right sort of thing.
Oh, okay.
Or, wait, maybe not.
Is it a discount sort of variety?
Maybe not, actually.
Maybe it's just a normal.
It might just be a shop.
It might be like a tucker bag or like a bylaw.
Yeah, yeah.
Probably IGA.
IGA.
IGA.
IGA grocery store.
Do you know what?
I actually now.
Offbeat groceries.
I'm unclear what.
I can't remember what Piggly Wiggly is, but I do remember the name and being charmed by
its branding.
Okay.
All right.
Let's go through who wrote the answers.
The first, I want you, Uncle Sam poster. That was Heidi. wrote the answers the first i want you uncle sam poster
that was hardy aka the house i want you that sounded very real who's keeping track of what
dates people are putting up posters i mean that's an important there's a lot going on there's a world
war and some of them are very important jot this down uh elvis's grandma shot a man and only admitted
to her own deathbed That was Beck Petratus
I forgot that I wrote that
I forgot the one I was supposed to be going
Hey everyone what about this
I thought that was a very believable one
The Blue Suede Shoe Shop
That was a Heidi and House collaboration
That's good
I think she wrote it more believable
And I added the shop
I just sort of like the way it sounded
Blue Suede shoe shop.
Runaway Coltrane.
John Coltrane.
Is that right, Evan?
Because you wrote this one.
Yes, that's right.
Yes.
That was...
Yeah, Saran went that.
That's great.
Thank you.
I finally got a point.
Evan's on the board.
Saran wrote the very first KFC restaurant opened, known as MFC and the zingers went off.
I'm so sorry,
I'm sorry.
It's my specialty subject
slash every meal I eat.
That sounded convincing to me
until Beck debunked it.
Yeah, I goofed it.
I shouldn't have done that.
If I knew you had the tracksuit pants
I wouldn't have done that.
And that means you two are correct.
Piggly Wiggly opened that one.
Yeah, Piggly Wiggly.
It's funny because I'm working on this other thing for a sleep podcast
where I tell stories from history.
And, yeah, one of the episodes I've recorded this week
is about the history of Piggly Wiggly.
And so when I saw this suggested by Heidi, I'm like, oh, it's so good.
I'd never heard of piggly wiggly but it
really did like everything about modern supermarkets on everything but it they brought in cash registers
and stuff like that before piggly wiggly you'd go with a list of what you wanted and then people
would go and get it for you it was the first one that you'd go and pick your own stuff off the shelves sorry man i'm starting to fall asleep doing your job i feel like what's that that's good that's good feedback
was there a guy like who like some sort of enigmatic businessman in charge of pigley
that's what i vaguely remember yeah yeah yeah he he had all these great ideas and he came
up he never really came clean exactly on where the name came from there's a few different stories
but did he also sell this is sorry now I'm just getting to Piggly Wiggly he he sold it or like
it got bought out and then he opened another store yeah he he um this is what I remember I
barely remember what the story is he floated it publicly and then ended up basically getting pushed out of his own company.
So he started up a second one that was called something really sort of...
Aggressive.
It was called something like The Sole Ownership Shop of Me.
Yeah.
Clarence Saunders or whatever his name is.
I think his name actually was Sanders or something.
But yeah, it is an interesting story.
Hopefully.
Not too interesting because I want to.
It's a fine line.
All right, so we're up to the final question.
And this one comes from Betsy from California.
We always finish with a movie synopsis
so you gotta write you know
2, 3, 4 sentences long
movie synopsis here and the question is
what is the synopsis of the 1935 film
Ruggles of Red Gap
Ruggles of Red Gap
and while you're writing those answers
here's some more info on
Piggly Wiggly
I've sort of given a lot of this away already,
but according to Heidi,
Piggly Wiggly was the first modern supermarket
that featured individually priced items.
Apparently before this as well,
another thing was customers would more likely
be able to haggle on price and stuff,
but this was a shop where it was like,
no, this is what it's worth.
And before this as well,
they'd go, I you know a kilo of
of flour and someone would go out the back and scoop a kilo of flour individually weight weighed
out of it sounds like it was uh this uh new way of shopping actually led to a lot of waste as well. But anyway, he was also the first to check out counters
and obviously encourage shoppers to choose items themselves.
And it really took off quite quickly.
And it still exists, even though he was pushed out of his own company.
And he also passed away a long time ago.
Ow! Sorry.
There are still hundreds of Piggly Wiggly stores across 18 states in North America,
but apparently it's mainly in the southeastern states.
Did you get to the southeast, Beck?
You saw Piggly Wiggly stores in person?
No.
No, I just know of them.
Yeah, yeah.
I never saw a piggly wiggly
do you know there was a thing that popped up the other day it was like an instagram filter where
you um ticked all the places you'd been it was like a world trip bucket list and i was going
to post it because my one is literally australia the usa and that's it but i've never i went to
the usa never looked at piggly wiggly so sad i love the idea of travel like that's it But I've never I went to the USA Never looked at Piggly Wiggly
So sad
I love the idea of travel like that
Like it's a
You're just ticking places
Like a whole culture
And a whole
A whole people
Done
Yep done next
Off to the next one
Went there
I like
If I had that
I'd tick Italy
Because I spent half a day in Milan
You know stopping over on a On a train journey What was it like because I spent half a day in Milan, you know, stopping over on a train journey.
What was it like?
I went to a McDonald's.
Oh, yeah.
The fashion capital of Europe.
So you were very fashionable at the McDonald's.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pretty fashionable.
Yeah, pretty fashionable.
Spot there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that a good way to end a joke?
Just by going...
Yeah.
Just fade yourself out.
Yeah.
That's pretty much how I do it, yeah.
All right, the answer in.
Final question.
Triple points.
Whoa.
I didn't know this.
The last one's game.
Triple what?
The score I already have or just triple one?
If you pick the correct answer and you somehow get Saran and Beck to choose your answer,
you'll walk away with nine points this round.
Wow.
That's not going to happen.
Would that be enough for me to win?
Well, you did score in the last round.
Yeah, my score has skyrocketed in the last round.
You got two points.
Can I say, if Evan does do that,
I reckon he should win.
Evan will win if he does that.
Okay, great. All right.
Anyone will win if they do that.
Let's make it happen.
I wrote something silly.
All right.
Here are your...
Oh, here's the final question.
What is the synopsis of the 1935 film
Ruggles of Red Gap?
I don't know.
All right. Is it Ruggles of Red Gap? I don't know. All right.
Is it Ruggles of Red Gap?
Oh, fuck.
What did I say before?
Or is it Ruggles Red Gap?
I thought it was of.
I heard of.
It was of.
I heard of.
I'm so sorry.
I thought it was the possessive.
Do you want to do an edit?
Okay.
All right.
Here are your options.
Ruggles of Redgap.
A beloved hometown clown named Reginald Ruggles
decides to pack up his humdrum Midwestern life
and try to make it big in Hollywood.
After his car breaks down at a remote section of the Grand Canyon and a series of missteps
and hijinks ensues, Ruggles wonders if he'll ever make it out of the desert and see his
name up in lights.
A beloved hometown clown is a new favorite phrase.
Ruggles the dog is separated from his family by a cantankerous dog catcher
When he escapes the pound he must travel across the red gap to reunite with his little girl Jenny Deer
That's option two
Option three
Ruggles, an English butler, is won by an American couple in a poker game
After becoming a local celebrity while out partying with his new employer
Ruggles has to decide whether to return to his former lord's service
or complete his transition to an independent man.
And then you've got,
A thief steals the Crimson Flame, a ruby from the Burmese crown jewels.
Can Detective Sam Ruggles Malloy catch the perpetrator
and return the jewels before the new empress's coronation uh when ruggle
when ruggle wakes up with a toothache he doesn't think much of it
but after a few weeks of it nagging him
ruggles its name's already changed ruggles decides to see a doctor the doctor scolds ruggles, his name's already changed. Ruggles decides to see a doctor. The doctor scolds Ruggles
for not knowing that there are dentists for this kind of thing.
By the time Ruggles gets an appointment with the dentist,
the ache is unbearable.
Together they pull the tooth out, revealing a very sore red gum.
Ruggles does not have private health insurance.
Will he be able to cover the gap?
Seren is the only one playing this game
like he's a comedian.
All of us.
What are we doing?
What are we doing here?
I did forget that he was Ruggles.
You forgot between the first and second sentence.
Or whoever wrote that.
Including Hollywood.
It could be anyone.
It could be anyone.
Who knows knows Or finally
Terrence Ruggles is shocked
To find a door
In his new house
Leads to nowhere
He ventures inside
The dark void
To see what lies beyond
A sci-fi thriller
Guaranteed to jerk you
Off your seat
What's the last one?
A sci-fi thriller
Guaranteed to jerk you
Off your seat. It's so funny.
It's so funny.
Oh, no.
Oh, man. Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Jerk your heart.
All your money back, I guess.
It's a guarantee.
I'm not a tearjerker.
This film is more of a
Just a
Just a jerker
Oh man
So you've got the hometown clan
You've got the
The dog
Separated from his family
Yeah that sounded good
You've got the English butler
One in a game of poker
Oh yeah
You've got the thief stealing the Crimson Flame
and the detective Sam Ruggles Malloy.
You've got Ruggles worried about covering the gaps
because he doesn't have private health insurance.
Or you've got Terrence Ruggles shocked upon a door
in his new house that's a far-far thriller.
Guaranteed.
To jerk you off your seat.
I'm immediately suspicious because I feel like Evan wants to win.
So he said the dog one sounds good and I feel like it's him trying to make this dog one work.
Stop trying to make the dog one work.
The dog one does sound good though.
I also like the butler one.
Oh, now I know.
Where's it coming from?
Yeah, I think I didn't really think about this,
but Ruggles works as a...
It seems like such a weird specific name,
but it works as a dog's name.
So many different things.
It works as a butler's name.
Yeah.
It works as a hometown clown.
Yeah.
Clown, detective.
A guy with a toothache.
I reckon Ruggles could jerk you off.
He's powerful.
He's real good.
He's got so many skills.
Yes.
Far out.
You're on a bit of a hot streak now, Evan.
Do you want to go first?
All right, I'm going to go with the butler one.
Butler.
Yep, the butler did it.
Rogel's the butler.
Locking in the butler for Evan.
I want to pick the...
I think it's the clown.
You think it's the clown?
Yeah, I think it's the hometown clown.
Hometown clown.
See, I...
What is the hometown?
What hometown?
Who's hometown?
When I was trying to think of one I did immediately think
Ruggles the Clown
Oh really
And is that naturally because
Is there a Ruffles the Clown
Is that why
Is that a thing
Are you telling us
That you wrote this answer
No
That's immediately what I thought
And then I wrote it down
And then I wrote it down
And now you're guessing it
Nailed that
Hometown Clown
Hometown Clown.
Hometown Clown.
What was the one?
There was one that I was like, it's pro... Cantagorous Dog Catcher.
No, not that one.
English Butler.
No.
Toothache.
What was it?
The, uh...
Find the Door That Leads Nowhere.
Find the Door That Leads Nowhere?
Yeah, and the Ventures Inside the Dark Void.
Oh, that's that one Shit
I wanted to pick the one that's Evans
Because I want him to have a win for once
And I'm trying to work out which one is Evans
Which is a new format of playing this game
I know
So
See I feel like
But you also think he's trying to win
So maybe
He didn't know about triple points
Oh yeah he didn't it's true
No he didn't
Hometown Clown
Ruggles the Dog
Ruggles the Butler
Sam Ruggles Malloy the Detective Ruggles the butler, uh, Ruggles the, uh, Sam Ruggles Malloy, the detective.
Yep.
Uh, Ruggles the man with the toothache or Ruggles the man who finds a door that leads
nowhere.
I reckon that could be Evan's one.
That last one, the jerk off one.
Cause he was pretty obsessed with the prehensile penis.
He was true.
His, his one. I was, it's true.
Guaranteed to jerk you off your seat.
It's just such a funny phrase. It's really funny.
It's not something people say.
Actually, do you know what?
It probably is.
Is it just a really normal phrase?
And I'm just being broken?
No, no, no.
I don't know why that tickled me so much.
Or, or,
or that's
Soren's
and Soren's
trying to get me
to pick it for points.
Or it's,
or it's just
1930s lingo
from Hollywood.
I'm going with Detective.
Guaranteed to jack you
up your seat.
I think Detective is Evan
and Evan you can't say.
I'm going to say
Detective.
I'm not saying anything.
I'm sitting here silent.
I'm saying Detective
for Evan's win.
Just I want him to have a win for once he needs it
alright
here's who wrote the answers
Ruggles
aka Ruggles
saw a doctor
even though
seemingly not knowing
the dentists
are around for this kind of thing
I forgot this answer
that's definitely
okay
that was
Saran
come from me
great beautiful mind of Saran.
Ruggles the dog, separated from his family by a cantankerous dog catcher.
That was Beck Betraydus.
Then we had Terrence Ruggles, shocked to find a door in his new house,
leads to nowhere.
It's a sci-fi thriller from 1935, Guaranteed to jerk you off your seat.
That was Evan Munro's movie.
Oh, my God!
It was!
Did you genuinely say jerk off your seat?
Why did you write that?
I don't know.
I thought it was funny.
Okay, good, good, good, good.
I don't know what it means.
Okay, no, it's good.
So the one you thought was Evan's, Thief Steals the Crimson Flame.
That was actually Betsy.
Got me, Betsy.
Betsy also wrote the beloved Hometown Clown, which Seren went for.
Meaning that Evan was correct.
It was the English butler.
It was won in an American poker game.
And this is a loved film.
Tell you a bit more
about it in a second
but it
on Rotten Tomatoes
has a 100%
critical
approval rating
wow
89%
audience
so
I'll
obviously
just
add up the scores now
Evan I can't believe it
I was trying to
throw you one
he nearly would have won if you picked I should have just told you which one I was trying to throw you one. He nearly would have won
if you picked the jerk off the rope.
I should have just told you
which one I wrote.
I should have just told you.
Yeah, that would have been...
You can't break the game like that.
Yeah, I didn't want to do that.
We've got to pretend
that this game is important.
It all falls apart
if you don't at least pretend.
So a review by Dennis Schwartz reads,
the film's main asset
is the strong comical performance
of Charles Lawton
as the straight-laced
and very proper English butler
Marmaduke Ruggles.
What a name.
Wow.
Apparently,
this is just a quick trivia tidbit
from IMDb.
The film's editor,
Edward Dimitrick,
said that Charles Lawton
became so emotional
during the scene in the saloon
where he recites the Gettysburg Address
that it took director Leo McCary one and a half days to complete shooting it.
According to the editor, the preview audiences found Lawton's close-ups in the scene embarrassing
and tittered through the speech.
They laughed the way through it.
Oh, no.
So they substituted in shots of Lawton from behind
instead showing reaction shots of people
and they found that very moving
and the second preview was extremely successful.
And it ended up being this loved film,
but it's so funny that early on they're like this...
It's just the fact that this great film, supposedly,
has a scene where a butler is reciting a Lincoln speech.
It just sounds like nonsense.
Why would he be doing that?
But I haven't seen it.
All of a sudden, I'm like one of those critics of the penis man.
You've got to look it up.
Don't critique it before you've seen it.
All right, here's the final scores.
In fourth place, despite such a great start on three points,
it's Saran Jyamana. In fourth place, despite such a great start on three points,
it's Saran Jaya Mahana.
In third place on four points, it's Beck Petraeus.
In second place, coming home with a wet sail,
it's Evan Monroe-Smith on five points.
I did not see that coming.
Good job. Coming through for a rare win on 11 points, it's the dastardly house.
Good answers from the house.
How does the house not always win?
Yeah.
Because the house has got like four.
I really try and manipulate it so that it doesn't happen,
but sometimes, despite everything that I try, yeah.
No, it just happens.
I mean, you do have triple points in the last round.
The house doesn't have. Oh the last round The house doesn't have Oh yes the house doesn't
So often
Someone will just come home

Thanks so much for joining us, you three.
No worries.
Yes, you.
And thanks so much, listeners, for listening.
Please give us a five-star review if you want.
I haven't had one in months.
What's going on?
I ask at the end of every episode.
It's starting to feel like, you know, this is a personal thing. But anyway,
tell your friends if you think they might
enjoy it. And cheers for tuning
in to Who Knew With Matt Stewart. And now that you know it,
I've been Matt Stewart. Goodbye.
Do you like Dracula Dead and
Loving It? It's a really old movie that I don't think is appropriate
for children to watch over and over again.
It's all we used to watch.
I mean, it's funny, but also it's like,
there's a bit of sex romp comedy in it, I think,
that I didn't understand.
I'm going to re-watch it.
That's one I haven't seen.
I remember watching Men in Tights a lot as a kid.
Oh, that's a banger, though.
The film?
And Spaceballs.
Yeah, the film.
That felt like a very commercial radio homophobic joke.
Oh, you're watching the film.
Evan, you can't say that.
Oh, man.
I just said it. I'm so sorry.
Last night, I Twitch streamed until 12.30 playing Baldur's Gate 3.
And then I yo-yoed myself up awake.
And I feel like I'm never giving you my best for self, Matt.
I'm always giving you my, I've just been playing a role-playing D&D game
where I'm a half-orc called Ratfook.
I had assumed that wasn't your best or your worst.
That was just the you.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Great.
You're always coming off an epic Twitch stream.
That's the vibe you give.
Oh, good.
That's the vibe I'm trying to give off.
Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, good. That's the vibe I'm trying to give off. Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
What is Baldur's Gate?
It's like a sort of D&D game, but you're playing on PC.
D&D PC.
But you can play it by yourself, so you don't need friends.
Oh, that feels like the one thing they forgot about when they came up with the original D&D.
Yeah, they really goofed it.
Jeez, what if I want to play by myself?
I have friends, certainly, and, you know,
could play with them at any point.
Any point in time.
But sometimes I just like to chill out by myself,
away from all my friends.
Oh, these are i gotta tell you before we get into it these are fantastic responses yeah another great one there and uh oh all three of you. Cannot believe it.
That's rare that we get three fantastic answers.
Oh, no.
How's everybody going?
We've got some really asymmetrical waveforms going on.
I can't help but notice.
Well, everyone can enjoy that at home.
It's not really a problem.
Download this episode.
Stare at this in a... Is it a spectrogram?
Is that what that is?
No, you just look at the waveform.
Oh, my mistake.
This will be good banter for the credits.
Yeah, I think this is going to go real.
People will be falling asleep
to this part of the episode and then waking up when they hear the word waveforms on our listening
i feel so bad if they're trying to fall asleep to this episode because i'm just going
yeah that does actually contribute to some of the asymmetry yeah i think it's i think it's mostly me
laughing real loud and And squawking.
I don't know what causes it.
Is this a good idea for a podcast where the podcasters just watch their waveform and discuss it?
Direct his commentary on the waveform.
I'm going to try and make a boob with the waveform.
You ready?
Here we go.
That's not a boob.
They're just blobs.
Boobs?
Our sisters are not twins.
Jess Perkins taught me that recently.
But they're like really, those boobs need help.
They're all like, they need help.
I think one of the nipples was an innie.
Yeah.
Which is fine.
It's allowed allowed It's fine
Which is fine
I'm the one who judges
I'll tell you
Oh god
I bought
Nip away
I'm gonna go
Can I jump in?
Yes
I wanna go
That was great on the waveform
That was really good.
That looks like a penis.
I'm glad all this waveform chat's going to stay in.
This is definitely going to get cut.
Well, otherwise, people are really going to have to download this episode and analyse.
I think there's going to be a lengthy post-credits section about waveforms.
Um.
Anyway, while you're still writing your answers,
let's go for a quick break.
People need to stop having a name that starts with the letter A
at the comedy festival.
I've been knocked off.
My name is Beck. You'd think I'd be at the front. You've just been their actual name. I've been knocked off. My name is Beck.
You'd think I'd be at the front.
Oh, you just mean their actual names?
Yeah, their actual names.
Do they still have like Almond the...
No, but there is...
Aardvark.
I've got to say, a succulent comedy showcase,
which I think is an Asian comedy showcase.
Clever.
Great name.
And also, A.
Perfect.
Like, if you're naming a compilation
show having a so smart but they don't they don't allow people to go ah comedy
actually someone has a number and they're at the very front yeah oh we should have called our show
two guys doing comedy two guys one comedy yeah know, that reference is very current
Yeah, is Evan a good cook?
Evan cooks fish finger sandwiches really well
Is that a specialty?
Yeah
He made a song about it
I only just remembered this the other day
Is this okay to bring up?
You can bring that up
Evan had a song and he goes
I don't remember how Ten years ago And I can remember the tune I only just remembered this the other day. Is this okay to bring up? You can bring that up. Evan had a song and he goes...
I don't remember how it was.
Ten years ago, and I can remember the tune.
Maybe just list the ingredients.
It's you going,
Fish finger sandwich has all of these for you.
And he recorded it.
This isn't like...
I really want you to find the fish finger sandwich song.
I don't know if that exists anyway.
I think it's you going,
Fish fingers, mayonnaise, bread, cheese. If you find it and you don't know if that exists anyway i think it's you going fish fingers mayonnaise bread
cheese if you find it i'll and you don't mind i'll put it i'll get connor to put it at the end
of this episode i would love to hear fish finger sandwich again if we're able to find it i don't
connor uh will throw it throw it to it now i wonder if he threw to it i wonder evan this is
on you now i'd be very surprised if it's selected.
The power is yours.
I mean, you could re-record it.
I'm going to look for it in Gmail.
You could re-record it, Evan, if required.
Yeah.
Did you put music under it and stuff?
Yeah, I think it was.
Yeah, it was a full track.
I don't know why.
I can't remember why, but there definitely is a Fish Fingers Sandwich song.
Beck, just in case you can't find it, can you sing it again now?
Fish finger sandwich has all of these for you.
I like it.
It's sort of confusing to follow.
Has all of what?
Yeah, I know.
Well, that's the chorus.
The verse has all the ingredients.
Oh, okay.
Sorry, that's so out of it. Once you've said that, I know. Well, that's the chorus. The verse has all the ingredients. Oh, okay. Sorry, that's so out of it.
Once you've said that, that is pretty straightforward.
Gotta just double check.
Are you three taking this game seriously?
It's really hard.
Ruggles, Red Gap.
Yeah, well, this could be anything.
Yeah.
It's part of the fun of it but
you know but you three were creative
I haven't read I just read a part of one
of them and I thought it's Evan just
right the right it movie Movie explodes Movie explodes
Ruggles explodes
Leaving a red gap
