Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh my God, can you believe it? It's the year 2024. It's Melbourne Comedy Festival and we've just moved venues. We're at the Grace Darling now. We had a great run at the Chinese Museum, selling out shows by the end, but now we need you to come over to the Grace Darling and shows are at 7.15. It's going to be so much fun. Love to see you there. Let's have a beer. Use discount code do go on the show's called dry dry at the melbourne international comedy festival then we're going to sydney and brisbane tickets to all that stuff's on sale now and you can find those tickets and details at mattstuartcomedy.com 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.
Starting point is 00:00:58 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
Starting point is 00:01:12 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
Starting point is 00:01:27 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.
Starting point is 00:01:44 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.
Starting point is 00:01:58 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.
Starting point is 00:02:05 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.
Starting point is 00:02:19 We'll be there all month. I'm busy. Are you doing a show this year, Bec? Yes. When? Where? When? Where?
Starting point is 00:02:29 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.
Starting point is 00:02:35 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.
Starting point is 00:02:49 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.
Starting point is 00:03:11 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.
Starting point is 00:03:39 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.
Starting point is 00:04:12 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.
Starting point is 00:04:32 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
Starting point is 00:05:07 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.
Starting point is 00:05:57 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.
Starting point is 00:06:15 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.
Starting point is 00:06:26 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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.
Starting point is 00:06:53 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.
Starting point is 00:07:02 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.
Starting point is 00:07:17 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,
Starting point is 00:07:29 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
Starting point is 00:07:52 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.
Starting point is 00:08:18 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.
Starting point is 00:08:32 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.
Starting point is 00:08:53 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.
Starting point is 00:09:12 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.
Starting point is 00:09:27 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.
Starting point is 00:09:40 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.
Starting point is 00:09:52 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.
Starting point is 00:10:07 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.
Starting point is 00:10:18 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.
Starting point is 00:10:37 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
Starting point is 00:11:24 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
Starting point is 00:12:01 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.
Starting point is 00:12:15 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.
Starting point is 00:12:35 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.
Starting point is 00:13:01 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.
Starting point is 00:13:15 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
Starting point is 00:13:36 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?
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:10 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.
Starting point is 00:14:23 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
Starting point is 00:14:34 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...
Starting point is 00:14:46 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...
Starting point is 00:14:52 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.
Starting point is 00:15:01 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.
Starting point is 00:15:13 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.
Starting point is 00:15:27 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.
Starting point is 00:15:47 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
Starting point is 00:16:10 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.
Starting point is 00:16:29 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
Starting point is 00:16:55 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.
Starting point is 00:17:18 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
Starting point is 00:17:48 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.
Starting point is 00:18:07 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.
Starting point is 00:18:17 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
Starting point is 00:18:27 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
Starting point is 00:18:39 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?
Starting point is 00:18:58 Is the crab from The Little Mermaid? Sebastian. Yes. Oh, no, lobster. Yeah, crab. Is that a crab? What? Oh, is there a crab?
Starting point is 00:19:05 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
Starting point is 00:19:19 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.
Starting point is 00:19:38 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
Starting point is 00:19:53 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
Starting point is 00:20:04 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?
Starting point is 00:20:14 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,
Starting point is 00:20:33 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.
Starting point is 00:20:51 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.
Starting point is 00:21:03 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.
Starting point is 00:21:17 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.
Starting point is 00:21:29 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
Starting point is 00:21:45 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
Starting point is 00:22:13 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
Starting point is 00:22:31 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
Starting point is 00:22:40 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
Starting point is 00:22:50 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
Starting point is 00:23:06 Yeah It's pointy I don't know I like okay Pointy It's pretty good at three on three Actually Yeah
Starting point is 00:23:11 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
Starting point is 00:23:30 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
Starting point is 00:23:49 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
Starting point is 00:24:12 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,
Starting point is 00:24:38 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.
Starting point is 00:24:54 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.
Starting point is 00:25:11 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.
Starting point is 00:25:27 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.
Starting point is 00:25:51 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.
Starting point is 00:26:17 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,
Starting point is 00:26:47 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.
Starting point is 00:27:09 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.
Starting point is 00:27:36 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
Starting point is 00:27:56 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
Starting point is 00:28:12 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
Starting point is 00:28:20 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.
Starting point is 00:28:32 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.
Starting point is 00:28:56 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.
Starting point is 00:29:23 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...
Starting point is 00:30:01 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.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Oh, man. And which thing? Denver Zoo. Oh, sorry. Which publication? Apologies. Washington Post. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:23 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!
Starting point is 00:30:43 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?
Starting point is 00:31:10 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.
Starting point is 00:31:25 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.
Starting point is 00:31:40 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.
Starting point is 00:32:07 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
Starting point is 00:32:37 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.
Starting point is 00:33:11 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
Starting point is 00:33:26 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.
Starting point is 00:33:57 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.
Starting point is 00:34:16 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
Starting point is 00:34:29 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
Starting point is 00:34:39 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.
Starting point is 00:35:07 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,
Starting point is 00:35:24 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.
Starting point is 00:35:39 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.
Starting point is 00:35:46 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.
Starting point is 00:36:00 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,
Starting point is 00:36:07 marmosets, forced to vote in Republican primaries. That was Saran. Bit of Republican activity going on. Then we had Zoo's ruse, lose despite
Starting point is 00:36:19 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.
Starting point is 00:36:33 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
Starting point is 00:36:45 sub editors I'm at life spoofing I got them got them right between the eyes missing porcupine brain return to zoo
Starting point is 00:36:53 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
Starting point is 00:37:04 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.
Starting point is 00:37:17 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,
Starting point is 00:37:49 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.
Starting point is 00:38:07 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.
Starting point is 00:38:18 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.
Starting point is 00:38:37 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.
Starting point is 00:39:14 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,
Starting point is 00:39:37 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.
Starting point is 00:39:52 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
Starting point is 00:40:10 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.
Starting point is 00:40:25 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,
Starting point is 00:41:16 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.
Starting point is 00:41:36 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
Starting point is 00:42:03 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
Starting point is 00:42:21 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
Starting point is 00:42:46 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
Starting point is 00:42:58 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
Starting point is 00:43:18 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
Starting point is 00:43:55 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.
Starting point is 00:44:37 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.
Starting point is 00:44:55 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.
Starting point is 00:45:09 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.
Starting point is 00:45:26 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.
Starting point is 00:45:39 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.
Starting point is 00:46:00 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.
Starting point is 00:46:30 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
Starting point is 00:46:48 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?
Starting point is 00:47:12 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
Starting point is 00:47:38 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
Starting point is 00:48:19 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
Starting point is 00:48:40 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
Starting point is 00:49:20 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.
Starting point is 00:49:34 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.
Starting point is 00:49:54 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.
Starting point is 00:50:09 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?
Starting point is 00:50:24 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
Starting point is 00:50:46 unpicked how many questions left are there there are three to go okay so I've got that round
Starting point is 00:50:54 again two points to the house and one point to Beck so it is it's getting to the point where you
Starting point is 00:51:04 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.
Starting point is 00:51:14 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,
Starting point is 00:51:39 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.
Starting point is 00:51:59 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,
Starting point is 00:52:17 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
Starting point is 00:52:51 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
Starting point is 00:53:35 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,
Starting point is 00:54:27 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
Starting point is 00:54:58 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.
Starting point is 00:55:21 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.

Starting point is 00:56:51 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?

Starting point is 00:58:10 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
Starting point is 00:58:26 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

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.
Starting point is 00:59:02 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.
Starting point is 00:59:23 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.
Starting point is 00:59:37 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,
Starting point is 00:59:56 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.
Starting point is 01:00:12 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.
Starting point is 01:00:33 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?
Starting point is 01:00:44 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.
Starting point is 01:00:59 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.
Starting point is 01:01:18 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?
Starting point is 01:01:38 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
Starting point is 01:02:12 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.
Starting point is 01:02:31 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,
Starting point is 01:03:03 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
Starting point is 01:03:19 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.
Starting point is 01:03:43 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.
Starting point is 01:03:54 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,
Starting point is 01:04:04 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.
Starting point is 01:04:16 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.
Starting point is 01:04:28 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,
Starting point is 01:04:42 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.
Starting point is 01:04:54 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
Starting point is 01:05:12 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.
Starting point is 01:05:25 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.
Starting point is 01:05:43 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?
Starting point is 01:06:15 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.
Starting point is 01:06:31 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.
Starting point is 01:06:44 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?
Starting point is 01:06:52 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.
Starting point is 01:07:03 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
Starting point is 01:07:29 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.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Runaway Coltrane. John Coltrane. Is that right, Evan? Because you wrote this one. Yes, that's right. Yes. That was... Yeah, Saran went that.
Starting point is 01:07:57 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
Starting point is 01:08:09 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.
Starting point is 01:08:22 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
Starting point is 01:08:46 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
Starting point is 01:09:41 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.
Starting point is 01:10:11 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
Starting point is 01:10:28 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,
Starting point is 01:10:46 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.
Starting point is 01:11:02 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.
Starting point is 01:11:42 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.
Starting point is 01:12:03 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
Starting point is 01:12:29 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
Starting point is 01:12:38 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.
Starting point is 01:12:48 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.
Starting point is 01:12:59 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.
Starting point is 01:13:11 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?
Starting point is 01:13:19 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.
Starting point is 01:13:43 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.
Starting point is 01:13:56 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.
Starting point is 01:14:10 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.
Starting point is 01:14:25 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.
Starting point is 01:14:42 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
Starting point is 01:15:14 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
Starting point is 01:15:48 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.
Starting point is 01:16:21 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.
Starting point is 01:16:41 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
Starting point is 01:16:49 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?
Starting point is 01:17:00 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.
Starting point is 01:17:56 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
Starting point is 01:18:12 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
Starting point is 01:18:26 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.
Starting point is 01:18:55 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...
Starting point is 01:19:17 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.
Starting point is 01:19:27 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.
Starting point is 01:19:44 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.
Starting point is 01:19:57 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
Starting point is 01:20:09 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
Starting point is 01:20:15 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.
Starting point is 01:20:26 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?
Starting point is 01:20:37 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
Starting point is 01:20:55 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
Starting point is 01:21:14 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.
Starting point is 01:21:34 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.
Starting point is 01:21:53 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
Starting point is 01:22:06 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.
Starting point is 01:22:14 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.
Starting point is 01:22:22 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
Starting point is 01:22:32 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
Starting point is 01:22:40 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.
Starting point is 01:23:01 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.
Starting point is 01:23:18 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.
Starting point is 01:23:36 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%
Starting point is 01:23:48 critical approval rating wow 89% audience so I'll obviously
Starting point is 01:23:57 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
Starting point is 01:24:06 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
Starting point is 01:24:16 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.
Starting point is 01:24:30 What a name. Wow. Apparently, this is just a quick trivia tidbit from IMDb. The film's editor, Edward Dimitrick, said that Charles Lawton
Starting point is 01:24:43 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.
Starting point is 01:25:02 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.
Starting point is 01:25:25 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.

Starting point is 01:25:44 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.
Starting point is 01:26:08 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.

Well, it's a nude show, apparently. So that's good. No, I don't think you can legally do that. Can you? Oh, man.

Starting point is 01:28:52 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
Starting point is 01:29:07 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,
Starting point is 01:29:34 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.
Starting point is 01:29:47 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.
Starting point is 01:30:16 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.
Starting point is 01:30:37 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.
Starting point is 01:30:58 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.
Starting point is 01:31:16 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.
Starting point is 01:32:06 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.
Starting point is 01:32:20 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?
Starting point is 01:32:53 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.
Starting point is 01:33:13 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
Starting point is 01:33:27 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
Starting point is 01:33:42 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.
Starting point is 01:34:03 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.
Starting point is 01:34:27 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.
Starting point is 01:34:41 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?
Starting point is 01:35:13 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
Starting point is 01:35:24 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...
Starting point is 01:35:38 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.
Starting point is 01:36:05 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.
Starting point is 01:36:17 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.
Starting point is 01:36:41 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.
Starting point is 01:36:59 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
