You may know her from the comedy duo Annie and Lena or her writing for Adult Swim amongst many other things. It's Lena Moon. Hello. Hello. Yes, I am one half of duo Annie and Lena. And you're like one whole of the Twitch channel Lena iMoon. Lena Moon. I got to change it.

Whoa. Yeah, when you get up to the, when you climb the pyramid. Right, you get to choose a letter to delete. Yeah, you get to take one single letter out. And I was like, I don't even need this one. Yeah, so, you know, great reasons to kind of keep, hey, I've got this great offer for you that you might be interested in.

It's a multi-level marketing kind of, yeah. No, anyway, that's what it always feels like. Oils? Yeah, oils. Some sort of oils. Leggings? Wow. That was one of them.

Yeah, great. Oil and leggings, I'm in. Yeah. Put me down for a couple. They go so well together. Yeah. Our second guest this week is from Good Tucker Question Everything

and is touring nationally now with his show Dry Dry at Saran and Jayamana hello thank you I'm at the bottom of every pyramid I've ever seen but I like all the letters

in my name so I think it's fun and you've got heaps I've got too many actually yeah it'd be great it'd be too many pyramids to climb I think to whittle it down.

And our third guest this week, you may know from nearly every Australian comedy TV show from the last couple of decades and her podcast, I'm the Worst, it's Claire Hooper. Thank you. That was very generous. Also, I've always forgot. Was I allowed to talk over all the other interviews?

Yeah, I said hi. I got excited and said hi. I like the idea that there's rules in podcasts. You run a tight ship. That's my number one rule. Everyone knows that. No, your number one rule is no records over five hours. Yes.

And, you know, I've broken that rule a few times. But not today. We're actually, straight after this, we're going to record an episode of your podcast on the worst. Maybe it'll even come out around the same time. I don't know. I don't know. This is going out on Monday.

Well, this is good. I'll put it out on Monday then. It's not even the usual day for it. People could go back to back. They could play it at the same time if they have two devices that will do that. That would be awesome. Matt, you have so much influence. I don't think Claire wants to do any of this she didn't even know you're recording a

podcast after this now she's releasing it on monday that's right i've set it on the record now so you know what you're gonna do the way the show works is i'll 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 Amanda from Bendigo here in Victoria, and the question is, what does the phrase dog in the manger mean? What does the phrase dog in the manger mean?

While they're writing their answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. You get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point if you correctly guessed the answer. 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 our guests choose as well. So each of us can score up to three points per round which seems fair but apparently the probability actually favors me the house. Though I have changed rules a bit so so the final round, they all get triple points and I don't. So, you know, it actually evens right out, I believe.

Anyway, our questions come from our great Patreon supporters. And if you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com slash do go on pod, which is linked in the show notes. Answers are in for question number one. What does the phrase dog in the manger mean? A barbecue sausage wrapped in a lettuce leaf and white bread. The opposite of the phrase in the dog house. Being a dog in the manger indicates someone is pleased with you.

Wanting to prevent other people from using or enjoying something simply because you cannot use or enjoy it yourself. When your most annoying uncle is coming to Christmas or a family event and will be disruptive. A bad person who inexplicably is treated like they are a messiah. Or the all too common situation when you accidentally give myrrh to a dog inspired by the German Spitz

who was initially mistaken by the three wise men to be the messiah. Oh, that happens to me all the time. Yeah, all too common. I've got to stop accidentally giving dogs murder. I mean, for a start, murder's getting so expensive. Exactly. As if you're going to give it to a dog.

That is the issue. It's like big high levels of money spent on like expensive dog food and treats and training and i'm like oh when's gonna stop i put you an orthopedic bed you're not getting more but isn't it that's so common with dog owners they'll often the dogs will eat better than they do yeah such a like i'll tell you who's eating all the mer rescue greyhounds is are any of these uh sticking out to you, Saran? So you've got the barbecue sausage wrapped in lettuce leaf and white bread.

You've got the opposite of in the doghouse. You've got preventing someone from using something because you cannot use it yourself. Annoying uncle coming over to a family event who you know will be disruptive. Bad person who's tree-like messiah or the all-too-common situation of um accidentally giving murder a dog i think i mean the first two sound the most likely to me um i reckon it is it i really like the dog it's the opposite of dog in the house in the dog house. But also I feel like dog in the manger,

maybe there's some rhyming slang with that. For the sausage. Except that nothing rhymes with manger. It's really tricky rhyming. Bang that? No. Like pig in a blanket is a hot dog in a pancake or something, isn't it? Yeah.

What? No. It could be. Oh, no. I forget there's a food expert on No, I'm not a food expert I just That's alright A hot dog in a pancake?

Yeah Is that not right? I shouldn't have ever said that Have you ever seen that? I knew it was something Yeah Just like that classic Hot dog in a pancake

Is pig in a blanket a little sausage wrapped in bacon though? Okay Is pig in a blanket? Yeah, I thought it was pastry, but it could be. Oh, yeah. I believe toad in the hole is. Well, okay. Toad in the hole.

Is that pig in bread? Yeah, okay. But there's sausages involved, I thought. And it all. Well, basically, these are all in the same genre of food, where it's an animal in a thing. And the thing's usually comfortable. Yeah.

I'm making assumptions about the hole. You've convinced me. I'm going to say Dog in the Manger is... It's a comfortable hole. It's a hot dog wrapped in a pancake. What's the option? Sausage wrapped in lettuce. Lettuce, yeah, let's go.

Dog in the Manger. All right. What can I say, Saran? I like that second one, but it's too good. Yeah, right. Like I'm trying to, because I'm like, I've definitely heard the phrase before.

What does it mean? But it's like the opposite of in the doghouse. It's too convenient, but it still sounds right, doesn't it? The dog in the, like your dog.

Get out of the manger. Yeah. You don't belong in the manger. I guess it's the mer one. All right. No. You going with mer? No, I'm not going with mer. You don't belong in the manger. I guess it's the mer one. All right, no. You going with mer? No, I'm not going with mer.

I can't afford mer. All right. This is really hard. I've got the second one. I feel the energy when I say the second one. I feel the energy in the room of somebody who wants me to say the second one. I feel the energy when I say the second one. I feel the energy in the room of somebody who wants me to say the second one. I feel it. And yet I don't know. I can't remember any of the other ones now.

So you're locking in the second one? But you're assuming the energy is one of us two. It could be who wrote the question. Yeah. I feel like you're doing it for the- No, I feel like it's Seren. Damn it. Yeah, but I don't know.

You could be doing it for the people that feel. It does feel like the most logical one. Are we allowed to pick the same ones? Yeah, you can pick the same if you want. But would a manger be a good place to be? Yes. Yeah. Oh, really?

Isn't it where the baby lies? Yeah, there's a lot of straw and farm animals. Yeah, but it's the only bed. Yeah, that's. Out of everyone. farm animals. Yeah, but it's the only bed. Yeah, that's... Out of everyone. We're talking about the manger. Yeah. Imagine being there.

It's got a historical place. Yeah, it's the manger, man. Some listeners might not know that's where Jesus is from. I barely know that. I grew up in a yoga cult, so I barely know that. And I only know it from that one hot track, Away in a Mansion. But yeah, no, I'm probably, I'm going to go with this.

The second option seems like the kind of worded in a way that someone has sat down and written it. Oh no, I've been tricked. We've both been tricked. I feel so sure of it. But I mean, that would be the case either way, you know know the dictionary guy sat down and wrote it or one of us yeah but that's like the move right if you're writing in you make it sound like yeah i guess so that that's i'm a tip for you for the next few rounds can we try to use it in a sentence then to so like is there anything

that your partner would ever have done where you're like, well, that was so good. You're a dog in the manger. And I would say you're a dog in the manger and not other sentences like that was excellent. It really does feel less likely when you try to use it in a sentence. You look like the cat that got the cream, you dog in the manger. Yeah, I mean, part of me really wants to pick the mer one just for, you know, fun. Just for lols. Yeah, I'm going to do the mer one.

Okay. Yeah, I'm changing my mind. I wish I could remember more. The mer one? Yeah. The bad person inexplicably treated like Messiah. Annoying uncle coming over for a family event. I'm saying the bad person inexplicably treated like the Messiah.

Later on I'll be spewing a bit. Let's just keep changing them until he says, look at what it is. Log it in, Matt Stewart. We're locking it in? Yeah. Alright, here's who wrote the answers. Oh, good grief. I forgot how awful this game is. Mine was so bad.

Mine was so bad. Being the opposite of the phrase in the doghouse, that was written by Amanda aka The House.k.a. the house. Okay. We did it. Yeah. So you've given Amanda a real rollercoaster listening at home. She's sitting in Bendigo going, oh, my God.

I did it. Two points. No, I didn't. Yeah. Then we had the annoying uncle coming over, being disruptive. That was Lena Moon. That was so bad. That's a really good one.

I thought it was good. To me, that makes a lot of sense it's a very specific saying and that's a specific thing and you didn't be foolish enough to say the all-too-common situation although yours was much more common than the dog accidentally being given murder which surrender yeah okay yeah because because how is that what ruined it the all-too-common I think that was It's always an extra detail I add That it just doesn't need

That was the bit that took it over the edge of far-fetched So that's a point to surrender there Claire went for a bad person Who inexplicably is treated like the Messiah That was the house So you switched from one house to the other It's okay Saran though went for yours A barbecue sausage wrapped in a lettuce leaf And white bread like the Messiah, that was the house. Good job, house. So you switched from one house to the other. It's okay.

Sarando went for yours, a barbecue sausage wrapped in a lettuce leaf and white bread. But to be fair, you could call it that. Yeah. I will. So in a way. Yeah. You know what? If you eat that a few times before this pod comes out and call it that every time, then you have just made it correct.

You'll have to let me know before the edit goes out. It's going gonna end up in the women's weekly like yeah next to the sausage in a pancake yeah exactly i don't know why i think that like keys and jelly in a blanket all right i should because there will be listeners yelling at their ipods at the moment it does look like it is a little sausage wrapped in... In pastry? Pastry. Does it have a little bit of bacon in between?

Oh. Doesn't matter. Bacon. It does. I must be thinking, maybe I'm thinking of something else. This is very unrelated, but I have a crazy reference for Pigs in Blankets because in Charmed, when Piper and everyone go evil in one episode,

Piper turns someone into pigs in blankets and it's literally pigs wearing blankets. I assumed up until this point that the food was a rotisserie pig in a blanket because of that episode of Charmed. So it is amazing to learn that there is pastry involved. Can you imagine how funny you would have found it if you'd known it was like a quirky take on pigs in blankets? But you were just like, oh, wow, it seems silly to cook it

in a perfectly good blanket that you could then use on your bed. But, oh, yeah, yeah, that would have made more sense. Now that I think of it, it probably gets a good temperature for like a slow... Yeah, how dare they trick me Over 12 hours Yeah Slow roast

In the duvet Okay Claire So Saran's version Is the American The British and Irish one Is small sausages Wrapped in bacon On pipe

Hey Goodness I did it I did it And they're also known as Kilted soldiers Oh, that's lovely For a second there That's adorable

I thought you were talking about dog in the manger In America, it actually does refer to the dog A lettuce sausage Okay, so after one round, we've got Claire on one point We've got the house on one point And Saran on one point Hang on, what was it? What was a dog in the manger? manger oh you want me to finish the i'm not very good at this uh the correct answer

was wanting to prevent other people from using or enjoying something simply because you cannot use or enjoy it yourself apparently goes back to a fable where a cow disturbs a dog who's sleeping on the hay and the cows want to eat the hay. Dogs are carnivores. They can't eat the hay, but the dog stops the cows. Got it. Wow.

Where does the manger come in? I guess the hay is in the manger. Yeah, a manger isn't, like it actually wasn't invented for sleeping babies either. It was for eating hay out of. Yeah. That's why it's full of hay. It's like a trough. It's like on that episode of charmed

honestly the bible and charmed well they've got blankets i see another fan um yes thank you for uh pulling me up on that um here is question number two this one comes from lisa t who says they're currently in Brisbane. Doesn't want to be too specific, obviously. Lisa's question is, which one of these are real species of frog? So you've just got to come up with a fake frog species. You don't have to give it a description or anything, just its name. And while you're writing your answers, here's some more info on the dog in the manger.

Amanda writes, it's said to be an Aesop's fable. Dog in a manger tells the story of a dog laying on hay who is disturbed by cows. The dog snarls at the cows, preventing them from eating the hay, of which the dog cannot. The term dog in a manger was also used by Frank Clunes in his 1955 book Overland Telegraph

to describe the British attitude towards the Northern Territory of Australia in the early 19th century, whereby a small colony was established at Port Essington without any further plans to develop the region. The British just wanted to claim the north of Australia so that no one else could. They were really acting like a bloody dog in the manger. If you know what I mean, which now you do. Wow, I'm so surprised hearing all of that that it's not more commonly used it's just so shocking to hear that it's not just like

casual vernacular at this point wow yeah i'd never heard it had you two had never heard it absolutely you'd heard it yeah i've heard it i've just forgotten what it meant yeah because i mean it's just not common enough right i mean it wasn't that something people do it feels like a thing that people do i'm gonna figure out what it means by next time okay no but i think we've changed it today it's lettuce bread sausage yeah i mean it's your bunning saucy sizzle but with a nice big piece of iceberg in between yeah which is actually great is that the idea yes and your hand is the manger so that is that what's a manger no i'm joking what yeah what is the the hand is bethlehem the bread is the stable the lettuce is the manger yes there we go the lettuce is the

manger gotcha bunnings is the uh is the people asking j to return to Bethlehem for the synopsis or whatever. Not synopsis. What did he have to go with? The census. Oh, God. Why did I start talking there? Yeah, it was the census.

Census. Which makes no sense because the census is all about where you are, not going back to where you were born. I guess in the old days, you came to the census. then this didn't come to you i'm just i can feel myself infuriating uh bible understanders like that's not the point of the story the census was something else yeah it's probably sorry i was just i'd start i'd start i started staring at him

and she knew that i'd i you know my the little bit of self-confidence i had i vanished yeah in seconds there wasn't much it looks like the answers are in for question number two which one of these is a real species of frog? Sinking droop. Wow. Red-footed bark frog. Great Rodney Marsh frog. Cute.

Should I commentate all of them? Yeah. A pobble bonk. Love it. Quirky boys. Or southern borogong Blue. So you got Redfooted, oh sorry, Sinking Droop, Redfooted Bark Frog, Great Rodney Marsh Frog, Pobble Bonk, Quirky Boys, Southern Borong Blue.

I like the Southern Borogong one. All right, locking that in for Saran. That sounds real. What, say it again? Oh, do you want me to say it or him to say it? Because we said it differently. It was probably funnier from Sarang. Southern borogong blue. Yeah.

See, that sounds plausible to me. Yeah, I would have accepted that as a frog or a cow or a cheese species. Ooh. Species of cheese. You made cheese sound less delicious. Yeah, you made it sound like a task. Where does cheese come from? I would like it to be a popple bonk.

Okay, a popple bonk for Claire. Because it's not going to be silly. I mean, these are all pretty silly. Why would anyone write in with, well, that's actually, yeah, that's true. They're all silly. Because quirky boys feels like I'm being baited. It feels like I'm being baited. Yeah, maybe a bit too.

But it could be like one of those things where it's like, oh, you know, Tasmania's CSIRO found this cute frog and the residents of Tasmania are going to vote on it. Is it going to be Froggy McFrogface or is it going to be Quirky Boys? I know what I'd vote for. Imagine being like the Quirky Boys are spawning. I'd call it a kilted soldier. Somebody should have put that down for a frog name.

Probably you. Somebody should have. Okay, I'm going to go with the first one. Sinking Droop. Really? I'm going to go with the first one. Sinking droop. Really? I don't know. Yeah, I guess so. Again, like we've said, they're all real to me.

They all exist. And the first one you heard is the most real. Yeah, exactly. It was the first one I pictured. Okay. So you've all locked in there. So this is who wrote the answers. I'd say if any of them weren't that ridiculous, it would have been the red-footed

bark frog. But even that's pretty silly. That was Lena Moon. Thank you. That was a good one. Are their feet like bark? Or do they like to be on bark? I think there are actually bark frogs. I think there are frogs that look like bark. It's the sound that they make. Yeah, they stand out in the

reeds and just woof. Yeah. No, but some of them look like bark. They look like bark on trees. So I was, and I'm, you know. I'm keen to look them up. People are really. With red feet.

Yeah. People, yeah, like frog people are like, they always like chat about their feet. Like so many of them are like the blue footed or the, it's like they're creeps honestly i feel like they're constantly talking about frogs feet like you know well not to kink shame you can like what you like uh the great rodney marsh frog that was for ren oh it's very good very good naming it after i was thinking that you might yeah that that bode my boat face

thing yeah yeah that's that might have got us there, yeah. Quirky Boys, that was the house. I love it. You don't say. So sorry for... Is that what you call gaslighting? Me writing down an answer like that? I don't think I fully understand.

Yeah. Whatever benefits me right now, I think. Well, unfortunately, the sinking droop which you went for was written by Lisa, aka the house. Lisa, I'm going to find you. S sinking droop which you went for Was written by Lisa aka The House Lisa I'm gonna find you Sinking droop The magical mind of Lisa Well she might be in Brisbane

Yes currently Then we had The southern Borogong blue which Soren went for That was Claire Hooper Oh my god I got you again And Claire you also got the correct answer Poblegonk Blue, which Sorrent went for. That was Claire Hooper. Well done. Oh, my God. I got you again. And Claire, you also got the correct answer.

Pobblegonk. Pobblebonk. Oh, no. The Pobblebonk. That's because I knew it. You've heard of Pobblebonk. I've heard of the Pobblebonks and they're called Pobblebonk because they go like this. Pobblebonk.

Yeah. That's like the noise they make in the pond. So Bark Frog could... No, I wasn't far off. Yeah, you weren't. Could denote the same. Oh, frogs make some crazy screams, dude. Kirky boys? Yeah, they make some crazy screams.

Kirky boy. Kirky boy. All right, two rounds down. Lens on zero. Surruns on one. House on two. But out in front on three points, it's Clay Hooper. Oh, dear.

Now, we're on to question number three. Did you have a story behind the southern borogong blue? No, I was just thinking of the corroboree frog, and I'm like, just give it a good little, a nice little three syllable with lots of R's. Borogong blue. Yeah, borogong blue. It's fantastic.

It really does. Thank you. I'm like, I would eat that cheese. I would ride that cow. You know, and I'd look at that cheese. I would ride that cow. You know, and I'd look at that frog. So all of those just sound like activities you'd do regardless. No, only if they're specifically named Southern Boracong Blue. Next one comes from Edward from Canberra.

Question number three is, what is the name of track six on Weird Al Yankovic's 1992 album Off the Deep End? And what song does it parody? So, you know, any song. You all know Weird Al. What was it, a year again? 92. 92.

So, yeah. Ideally a song from before 92. I know, that's who we are. It goes a ways back. While you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more about the Pobble Bonk. According to Wiki. I know, that's really hard. known as the eastern or southern banjo frog and bullfrog and there are five subspecies each with a different skin coloration jeez i wonder if there's a blue popple bonk uh they're all native to eastern australia here is question number three what is the name of track six on weird al yankovic's 992 album off the deep end uh gonna pay off your, parodying Gonna Make You Sweat by CNC Music Factory.

Fan of The Goon, parodying R.E.M.'s Man on the Moon. The White Stuff, parodying The Right Stuff by New Kids on the Block. Whoa, that's not okay, is it? Nova Canus, parodying Entertain Us by Nirvana. Hey Prus, parodying Entertain Us by Nirvana. Hey Prude, parodying Hey Jude by The Beatles.

Or Everybody Burps, parodying Everybody Hurts by R.E.M. I'm just going to get that. I want that now. I don't want to think about it. Everybody Burps. I like that too. He's pretty innocent most of the time. Yes.

And often food related. Yeah. So funny. I don't care if He's pretty innocent most of the time. Yes. And often food related. Yeah. So funny. I don't care if it's a trick. Because you can hear it, can't you? Everybody burps. I can hear it now. And then you just go through every single thing in your sound library

that sounds like a burp. What a great time you have that'd be great fun i mean if that's not the real answer lena maybe that's one you can have oh thank you so much thank you so much i will be writing it that could be you know for your next it what do you get up to on twitch is this the kind of thing you do it absolutely is it absolutely is um anything is content and anything that i don't have to think of uh that i can execute very easily without much effort that is that's my life you get your your followers to send in their burps yeah i shouldn't admit to this but one of the fart sound effects on my streams

is my own fart that's authentic that's why that's why people love what you do They connect They don't know but they know They feel the authenticity That one came from her When you meet them in person They really feel like they know you Hang on you said one of them How many do you have

One Okay What are you thinking here lena oh i mean i really want it to be everybody burps because it just writes itself um and uh what were the other ones are very good as well the other thing is like it feels like new kids on the block or like these artists that i'm kind of not thinking about as much anymore feel like they're probably gonna be more likely the answer you know sorry to anyone in the room that might be still thinking about new kids on the block is their roman empire um but like yeah i don't know it feels like and this is me trying to win the game and not being entertaining this

is why you don't bring a gamer on to it... Yeah, that's true. You're doing it. Yeah, I mean, I feel like... What was the New Kids on the Block? Oh, it was the horrible one. The white stuff. Yeah. The right stuff. Yeah. I don't mean you don't know the context.

But is he talking about race or cocaine? Or cum. Sorry. So, they're the first three that you're thinking of. It doesn't say. There's no more information than that. It probably wouldn't be but if it is the real one i would explain further those are the big threes when you think of white stuff though

it is every time i think about it it is that's the order raise cocaine and then come and then milk yeah yeah well that's because i'm a little bit of your secondary intolerant secondary white stuff maybe if i wasn't lactose intolerant, milk would be high. White flour. No, very rarely. No, that's too obscure. That takes you back to cocaine. Yeah. So, do you want to pick one while you're thinking?

Yeah, look, I'm just going to... What was the first one again? Going to pay off your debt instead of going to make you sweat. See, that feels very weird very weird al because that feels like we're in bad i'm just gonna answer the question um i'll just go with number one okay i want everybody burps as well because when we sang it before it felt right and evan was at the door suddenly yeah it does feel like the right one i'm scared also there were two there were two rms feels like the right the the right there. It feels like the right one or the right one.

It feels like the right answer. That's something we could parody this right now. Yeah. It is. What's the song? Oh, Fan of the Goon. That could work as well. Fan of the Goon.

Fan of the Goon. Fan of the Goon. Yeah, now that feels... Everybody Burps is parodying Everybody Hurts. feels... Everybody burps is parroting everybody hurts. Which... Hey, prude is parroting hey, Jude. No, Vicanus, parroting entertain us. White stuff, right stuff.

Fan of the goon. Man on the moon. Going to pay off your debt. Going to make you sweat. I'm going to go for the entertain us one, actually. I'm changing my answer. All right, locking that in for Lena. No, Vana.

So, what did you throw in? Did you go burps? We're both going burps, babe. It's pretty convincing. It's just really good. This is who wrote the answers. Gonna pay off your debt. That was the house. I also have the advantage. I did a Google

of 1990 songs before. That went back to my mind. I will just pick the longest one. I'm like, I can figure longest one. It's really funny. I'm like, I can figure something out. But it's so dull. I thought,

what a funny parody song. I'm going to pay a few debt. Just do you a favour. Fan of the Goon, which Seren seemed to be keen on before, was written by Seren. Oh, good prank.

Yeah, thank you. Yeah, nearly worked. I thought I'd sing it. Hey Prude, parodying Hey Jude. That was Lena. I can see that one. I'm with you, right? Is it possible you don't know your 90s music?

Well, he said before 1991. He does throwbacks. He definitely does. Yeah, I thought maybe he's like, you know, like you listen to the radio, he's like, I should do this one and it'll be for the parents. Yeah. I think we'd all, that could have been back for other reasons. Also, couldn't think of anything else.

Nope. Yeah. So. Nova Canis, which Lena went for, that was Claire Hooper. Oh, I'm so sorry. No, it was really good. It was really good. You can picture it though, can't you?

Yeah, you can. Maybe he did write that one. I think he did a Nirvana one. He did yep he did have to have done a nirvana one entertainers is that smells like taint spirit right yeah it's not called entertainer and i think i'm pretty sure he did do a parody of that he did that's why i was confused i was like it's something didn't he did in that striped shirt and the anyway you look at it up, don't you? Yeah, it feels... Smells like Nirvana, it was called.

What? It was about them being stinky. It was about them being stinky? That makes sense. That's why I was like, this feels right. Everybody... Maybe that's what the Stinky Boys one's called. Everybody Burps, which clear answer I went for.

That was Edward, the question writer. Edward? Great start. It's so good. That was Edward, the question writer. Edward? I found the house. 100%. It's so good. You deserve that, Edward. Yeah. And I think I'm guessing.

So it was the white stuff? It was the white stuff. It's not okay. It was about the cream in Oreos. It is always innocent and about food. Okay, so about half. That's only the sixth one thing. So, I think Claire got a point there.

House got two points. Wow. And I lost a lot. That was more than just the question, I think. We're off to question number four. This one comes from Andrianaana uh genaldi from rome in italy and i because she spelled her name out phonetically because it looks like andriana but i think she knows that i would say wrong so she's written it out with about 30 letters andriana from rome and andriana's

question is which of the following sentences sentences did Bob Ross say on the show The Joy of Painting? You know Bob Ross? Yes. Oh, yeah. I don't really know. He's got like Afro hair and he sort of paints, but apparently he said it's just a sentence.

It was a bit of fun at some point. So you just have to say a thing he said. Oh, my God. We can't guarantee he didn't say all the things we're gonna say that's true yeah how do you fact check that i don't um i should have now that you say it i haven't i've fully trusted andreana but yeah no you're right you might all come up with something but you're gonna say such quirky things the odds are he wouldn't have said it surely we'll see while you're writing your answers uh according to edward the white stuff refers to the white stuff in the middle of an oreo not what you might be thinking the chorus goes oh oh oh

oreo oh oh oh oh the white stuff i haven't sung this in tune oh oh oh oreo what's in the middle the white stuff that's good that's why it's the king and while you're still writing your answers let's go for a quick break all right we're back here is question number four which of the following did bob ross say on his show the joy of painting the beauty of art is that it's never too late to start unless you're trying to paint a sunset. Cute. There's nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend. Great.

Let's see that hack Mr. Squiggle try and do that. Cute. The great thing about painting is you get to lick your fingers when you're done. To paint like an artist, you must see like a child or my name is matt stewart and i like to do this dance boopsy boop la la la be bop that one which isn't that one it makes sense why would no but also that would be why and Adriana would bring this to your attention What are the odds of that? My name is Matt Stewart and I like to do this dance

Boopsy boop la la la Be boop He did, he painted famously for hours He'd run out of things to say. I'm so sorry. I'm crying.

How many questions are there? There's seven. We're on the halfway through. No, we're on the backstretch here. We're on the backstretch. No, my point is, where's she going to go from here? So, Claire, you want to lock that one in? No, no, no. I think we've established that that's the best answer,

but probably not the right one. Can I? Oh, man, I can't remember how wacky he was. And I'm just going to go with the sunset level wacky. Sunset, okay. Because it's a bit wacky, but it's not lick your fingers wacky yeah yeah yeah it made you say cute i think is that what you said yeah i think so i think that was your automatic reaction for most of them you only take cute a couple of times oh yeah oh look cute uh what was the child one uh to paint like an artist you must see like a child yeah that feels

right i like that i'm gonna lock that in what was the second one please second one was there's nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend oh no not that one that one sounds like bob ross parody to me though because it's sort of like he's always talking about little friends that's like the one kind of thing that i know did Did he have some sort of, like maybe he had a tree on the studio set? Yes, I remember this. I think the tree's name was Matt Stewart. He had a bit of a dance. And yeah, Bob Ross voiced him.

That's why he would often say. We're all losing it. It's catching. I'm so sorry. So you're going to stick with the sunset? Yes. So you've got sunset, tree friend, Mr. Squiggle, licking your fingers, singing like a child, or Bootsy Boop, La La Be Boop.

Was that a good rendition of the song? Explain it. Yeah. That's everything I'd ever hoped for. I mean, I didn't write that one. Yeah, I'm fine. Put the joke. Yeah, go with a little joke.

Okay, Saran went The Child. I'm going with that one as well. The child? Yeah. All right, great. Here's who wrote the answers. This one might shock you. My name is Matt Stewart and I like to do this dance.

Boopsy boop, la la la, be boop. That was Lena. What? Wasn't it? You're going to guess. Not me, fool. Let's see that hack Mr Mr Squiggle tried to do that That was Seren

Real good The feud They were famously feuding The great thing about painting is you have to lick your fingers when you're done That was Andriana Okay the house Yeah great Andriana also did the one about the sunset

Oh no It's a dream one Like an artist you must see like a child Seren and Lena went for it also did the one about the sunset. Ooh. Oh, no. It's a dream one. To paint like an artist, you must see like a child. Saran and Lena Whitefall. That was Claire Hooper. No. The correct answer is there's nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend.

And we nearly got there, guys. Yeah, you worked it out, Lena, I thought. I said it. No. It's like, well, that sounds like parody because that's his thing. It's like tree friends. It almost sounds like word for word what he'd say. Like a parody. That's exactly a sentence that would come out of his mouth.

So that's two points to Claire and another point to the house. When I found out that I didn't get that point, I think I just said, Fie. Did I? You'll have to play back. Fie. Were you trying to self-censor it's very shakespearean oh curse okay so you

weren't like about to say a cuss word no no caught it oh so where did it come from we have yeah you were reading the energy in the room earlier. Has it changed? What? Because it feels... More Shakespearean in here now. Yeah. Everyone's lost the pot. Yeah. All right.

We're up to question number five. And we've got three questions left. Lena's still at the score. I can feel Lena getting a point real soon. Seren's on one point. He came out hot with a score in the first round. House is now in second place on five points. Claire, left to the lead on six points.

Whoa. Oh, my goodness. Here's question number five. This one comes from Jim Bates from Sackets Harbor in New York State. And the question is, what happened in Osaka, Japan on the 16th of October, 1985? What happened in Osaka, Japan the The 16th of October, 1985. While you're writing your answers, here's some more info about Bob Ross.

According to Andriana, Bob Ross was an American painter and television personality whose popular PBS TV show, The Joy of Painting, was made between 1983 and 1994, made him a household name in America as the painting teacher to the masses. Ross enlisted at age 18 for the US Air Force and took his first painting class

while stationed in Alaska in the early 1960s. Ross projected a lovable hippie persona sporting a permed afro and denim shirt and jeans and a soothing and intimate speaking voice that made the viewer feel as if it were a personal one-on-one painting session. Over the years, his folksy approach and references to happy little trees and clouds endeared him further to his fans.

Ross painted an estimated 30,000 paintings during his lifetime. Despite the unusually high supply of original paintings, Bob Ross originals are scarce on the art market, with sale prices of paintings averaging in the thousands of dollars and frequently topping $10,000. 30,000 paintings. sale prices of paintings averaging in the thousands of dollars and frequently topping 10 grand 30 000 paintings they all are pretty much the same painting i think but i'm not sure if i've seen the parodies or the real ones all right question number five answer in what happened in osaka japan on the 16th of october 985 the first nintendo console was released to promote and release the film Back to the Future, Michael J. Fox drove around the streets in a DeLorean. The sushi train was invented.

Initial prototypes did not take off, however, as they were life-size. And if you miss the onigiri, it would... Is that how you say it? Yeah, onigiri. And if you miss the onigiri, it would take quite a long time for the train to come back to your station. Sorry to laugh at that.

It's believed the ghost of Colonel Saunders Sanders. Colonel Saunders who specialises in states. It's believed the ghost of Colonel Sanders cursed a baseball team. A hot dog eating competition based on the famous annual Coney Island competition began.

It was meant to become an annual event, but the winning entrant died the evening afterwards and the event was never held again. Or female, in inverted commas, female-flavored chicken feet went on sale. Hmm. Female? Female-flavored. Is it the flavoring female?? Hmm. Female? Female flavored. So, the flavoring female? Female.

What? Or are the feet female? Yeah. Are they female chicken feet that are flavored? I think it's, I think the flavor, oh, yeah. Yeah. That's what you're saying? Yeah.

I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm like, it doesn't really make... It makes more sense if the feet are female. Oh, 100%. But it still doesn't really make sense. People have tried. Yeah, how could you pin down the e? There's quite a few there that I want to be true. You know, like where I'm like, oh, that sounds cool.

Yeah. I don't know... Like, I'm not an expert on Japanese cuisine, but chicken feet are not a thing. Right. Are they? I think that's more Chinese. That's a Chinese thing, right?

And I don't think they're female-flavored. But that extraordinary detail is what makes me want it to be true. The Japanese, they are good at taking something someone else has done and refining it. Yeah, refining it, adding an appropriate flavor. Yeah, because it's probably just sugar and spice and everything nice. Yes, that is the flavor of a female. So, yeah, there are two other food ones,

hot dog eating competition that ended badly, or the sushi train, which initially was a life-size train. I mean, like, the Nintendo one's good, but it's such a, like, full stop. You're like, why would that be entered as a... It would just be a fact. Yeah, remind me again who the questioner was. Who sent it in? Jim Bates from Sacataba, New York.

Oh, yeah, I know him. It feels like... He's a pretty abrupt guy. He's to the point. Mm, cool. And I should say there is no full stop on the end of that sentence. Okay. Well, that is...

Sort of trails off. That was very suspicious. Because all events in the past have a full stop at the end of them. Especially ones from 1985. I can't remember when Back to the Future was released, but it feels so right. Doesn't it? It does.

It does feel so right. The DeLorean thing feels... What a great thing to do. Was the first movie... Why would they bother doing it in Osaka, though? They could do it anywhere they want. Why would they go all the way there with a DeLorean? Well, they might have done it in multiple places.

The thing about that is, was the movie exciting when it first happened? Or did people love it after they saw it? Yeah, yeah. Are people going... Why is he driving that old car yeah what's who's this guy like do we care yet or do we have to see it to care i don't know if you know how publicity works i don't i do not before the thing yeah yeah yeah but you know how you go to those events where you've won tickets from the radio

and it's like the launch of a movie and it's like, I don't, this is sad. People aren't hyped for this. But then they see the movie. I understand how it works. But Michael J. Fox would already, he was already a thing, right? Before Back to the Future.

Yeah, it was family ties. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cruising around. He was a busy man yeah and uh i think yeah he did that and teen wolf at the same time as oh yeah okay fair that answers my question yeah i think people would have been yeah you're right it was released 15th of august 1985 i don't hey are you allowed to tell us that, it feels like you just gave us the answer. Well, I mean, it is. Same year?

It's two years before, though. Two years. But it's two months later he did the Osaka thing. That makes sense. They could have been releasing it in Japan later. It's right. Yeah. Yeah, back then I feel like movies took ages to get to. Yeah, to ship them over.

You've got to put them on a bus. Yeah, put them on a life-size sushi train. Yeah. Put them on the same boat as the DeLorean. That's efficient. Exactly. Pretty sure the DeLorean... Nintendo, Back to the Future, Sushi Train, Colonel Sanders Curse, Hot Dog Eating Com,

Female Flavoured Chicken Feet. So it was rumoured to have been a curse? Or was it an actual... Well, no, it was... It says there was a curse, but I don actual well no it was like that it says that there was a curse but i don't know if you can definitively say that colonel sanders what would colonel sanders have against the osaka baseball team it's a great question that's the in a way a curse is a rumor it's the ghost of kind of messing with people's heads it's the ghost of colonel sanders as well

so yeah i really um i like i mean i like the baseball connection because that's a big osaka thing and i mean they do no i already locked my name oh did you what did you go i wanted to be back to the future and you know what if you tell me i'm wrong i am going to like lena split off into an alternate universe where it is correct okay i'm gonna go with baseball because I don't understand how publicity works Yeah remind me again The

Nintendo, Back to the Future Sushi Train, Colonel Sanders Curse Hot dog eating comp That ended badly or female flavoured chicken feet Look just to be different I'm going to go with the Hot Dog Eating Competition. Looking that in. Here's who wrote the answers. The first Nintendo console was released.

That was Lena Moon. Oh, it was a good one. Get a gamer in the room. You should have put a full stop on the end, and then I would have believed it. I didn't realize I was going to get caught out for being too succinct and punctuation shamed. It's a real swing from the Matt Stewart oobdy doobdy doobdy do answer. I'm always going to keep you guessing.

The sushi train that was full size. That was Saran. Oh, that's beautiful, mate. I can't believe you could think of that. Couldn't see it. Yours really do have like a beauty to them. I've played this game a lot uh female flavored chicken feet that was jim aka the house so we unfortunately it's the only one that we can't

have explained in the room because what did you mean jim please please tag us in a post actually claire doesn't have social media but we'll pass it on thanks let me know uh hot dog eating competition based on the famous coney island competition sarang went for that it was claire hooper i'm so sorry i pick yours every time you are in his head claire it's the history edition something's got to be in there oh i'm there's a picture of claire's head in your head just says, owned by. Back to the Future being promoted. Claire went for that.

That was the house. This is very good. I was trying to put you off by giving you the date. Why would you put me off? Well, as it turned out, I put you further on, didn't I? I'm like, it was two months later. But you're like, that sounds about right. Okay.

That means Lena is on the board. It's correct. Yes. The ghost of Colonel Sanders cursed the baseball team. Wow, you really tried to help me get that one too. I did, yeah. Why do you want me to succeed? I don't want everyone to succeed.

Okay. Do you though? Yeah. You could just tell us the answer. Yeah. This could just be a chat about cool things You don't have to It is an uncomfortable part of it where

I won last week and I'm like Okay well thanks for coming I beat you all Thanks for stopping by That's awesome Point to Claire Point to the house Claire?

A point to Lena Congratulations That's awesome. Point to Claire. Point to the house. Claire? A point to Lena. Oh, of course. Congratulations. She's on the board. How does it feel? It feels extremely validating because I basically stole what you said about it because you were like, that's a very Osaka thing. And I was like, I'm going to do that one now.

Great intel. So it feels like the fraudulent life I've always lived. So you're in her head too. This is real devious stuff. That was powerful. A powerful mind. I wish it was true. All right, second last question.

This one comes from Megan Seeler from Merrill, Wisconsin in the USA. The question is, what was the strange name of the local dentist serving Pickaway, Ohio from 1922 through to 1946? He's only known, he's not a famous dentist or anything, he just has an unusual name. So you've just got to give this

guy a name. An unusual name. Sorry, can you say most of that again? What was the strange name of the local dentist serving Pickaway, Ohio, a town in Ohio,

from 1922 to 1946? It's just a guy with a funny name or an unusual name. And while your answer is being written, here's some more info on the Colonel Sanders curse. Gone to gym? The curse occurred.

And the curse occurred as well after Hanshin Tigers fans threw a statue of Colonel Sanders into a canal, canal, can't say that

word very well, canal, canal, doesn't matter, to celebrate the, are you, sorry, you're trying to

say canal, canal, yeah, yeah, always, my brain wants to say canal, but it's,

I have to always stop and think and i'm like am i when i say it right i'm like wait is that the right you know what i mean i've got myself so your brain's more inclined to anal than it is to can like that's so yeah oh that is gonna help me so much can yeah no people do people do it with my name they'll ask me and i'll give them the pronunciation that's correct and then they'll be like okay and. They'll ask me and I'll give them the pronunciation that's correct. And then they'll be like, okay. And then they'll bring me on stage. They'll be like, your next act anal.

Joe Amana. Well, let's go through the answers. No, hang on. Fucking hell, I've lost it. All right, here. Here's question number six. What was the strange name of the local dentist serving Pickway, Ohio from 1922 to 1946? And I'll put doctor at the front because that's what he was.

Dr. Banked Tooth. Dr. Matt Stewart. No, but... No, but it might be the reason it was sent in. True. Because it's not necessarily mine. Like the Bob Ross quote. Yeah.

Dr. Dan Twist the dentist, Dr. Strom Carlborg, Dr. Greg Duncan, or Dr. Gay Hitler? Wait, a new contender has emerged. Annie's answer. I mean, Lena's answer. There is an improv thing. All of a sudden, I'm just hugely problematic. You did that to me. I know your name.

Isn't your name Annie and Lena? Yeah. Isn't your name Annie and Lena? There is an improv theory that when you are teaching people how to heighten improv scenes, so sorry that I'm talking about this, you end up... Improv's not cool. I'm aware, but I also play video games for a job, so my bar is really strange.

But there is a theory that you can only heighten to a certain point and all of it leads to gay hitler which is why that's a compelling right uh answer for me because you can't there's no way you can go after that yeah yeah and then i think one of someone did that character on snl oh really yeah wouldn't you. Why not? It does seem like a good offer. All right. Could you read them again? Yes. Dr. Bengt Tooth, Dr. Matt Stewart, Dr. Dan Twist, the dentist, Dr. Strom Carlborg, Dr.

Grug Duncan, or Dr. Gay Hitler? Oh, no. None of them is the answer. Is it possible? Is this the one where there's none of them Is the answer Is it possible? Is this the one where there's none of them? This is why we had to go to 1922 Pickaway, Ohio To find this name, you know And I'm just imagining them all in like the zoo

In their encroachments I think it's Grog Grog Duncan Grog, I'm sorry I didn't want to mispronounce it I mispronounced the word mispronounce. So that was the stakes. I'm going to go the first one because I think they're all wrong.

Thank you. Finished. Banked. Banked Tooth. Yeah. Okay. Answer. How do you spell Tooth?

Tell me how you spell Tooth. T-O-O-F. All right. That does sound pretty not right. First name Bengt. B-E-N-G-T. Yeah, no, that's fine. Is there a tooth that was...

Fanatic spelling of grug donk? G-R-U-G-D-O-N-K-E-N. Oh, well, we all know there's two genes at the end of that. Yeah, that's true. It's G-R-U-G-D-O-N-K-E-N. Oh, well, we all know there's two genes at the end of that. Yeah, that's true. It's G-R-U-G-G. I've made a mistake. It feels like the one that sounded like a jingle could be... I've already guessed.

Well, too late to change. Which one? Dr. Dan Twist, the dentist. Yeah, that's for me. I think, unfortunately, I would like it to be Matt and Steelo, but I do think that it was Lena. I might be metagaming. Okay, I might be smart.

Actually, too, someone sent it in for a reason. Yeah, that's a good reason. Yeah, I'm going to go Dr. Matt Stewart. Wow. Yes? Yeah, thanks. Because I didn't like Dan Twist, the dentist. You didn't like him?

Personally. All right, so everyone's locked in? Are we? Yeah, thanks. Because I didn't like Dan Twist, the dentist. You didn't like him? Personally. All right, so everyone's locked in? Are we? Yeah, sure. Sure! No, everyone's changed. No, I am. Everyone's changed already.

I don't like any of them. Yeah. All right. Well, let's go through who wrote the answers. Dr. Dan Twist, the dentist. That was Claire Hooper. I nearly got you. I nearly.

Almost. So close. Got you. I said I got my leader, I think. The first one Claire sent through was, Hewers. Hewers. Is that what you meant?

Is that the joke you were going for? I don't know what I was going for. I thought it was like someone saying whores, like in a real posh voice. Hewers. Like smoking a... I was trying Like a thin cigarette

I was working on something It doesn't matter Don't ask me Like a GTA character I was going to write I was going to send through Cain Eins

You know like I had some Ideas Anyway Continue Okay well I I was Taken into a different place

And I thought Ah I need a rest of my Hewells Um Yep Uh I was taken into a different place, and I thought, ah, interesting one from Claire. He was. Yep. Dr. Strom Carlborg. That was Saran. I thought someone would guess that.

That felt believable. It sounded believable, but also not newsworthy enough. That's true. Yeah. Dr. Bengt Toof. That was Megan, aka The House. Megan.

I love it. Also, Toof. That was Megan, aka The House. Megan? I love it. Uh. Also, I didn't, I didn't even believe it, but I love it. Lena went for Dr. Grug Donkin, which was also The House. Oh, it's not Gay Hitler. It's Gay Hitler. There's no way. No, it's not Gay Hitler.

It's Matt Stewart. Dr. Matt Stewart's round went for that. It was Lena. The correct answer is Dr. Gay Hitler. Oh, are you kidding me? I was. Is it gay with an E? I don't think so. Isn't that wild?

I mean, I guess Hitler is a surname. But it is also pre-Hitler. The Hitler family were really big in the 1700s, and they set up this town, apparently. And you still go there, and there's like hitler road hitler cemetery hitler park wow and yeah one yeah the guy's dad gay hitler's dad's name was george washington hitler no you now you're just saying names of what kids call each other in Fortnite? I'm worried I've fallen for it. But it was from New York Magazine.

Wow. It feels like it's a believable thing. No, I believe it. So, yeah, we're up to the final question now. Triple points up for grabs. Oh, I hate this. I hate this bit and I hate the whole, now the game can be anyone's. Yeah, yeah.

All the stuff you've earned from before this doesn't matter. Yeah. No, it still counts. You know that whole hour and 15 of your life didn't matter actually could have just done without it actually did matter it all counted and this bit counts as well um just cancel it a bit more uh so um the question comes from ben brufflett from cumberland gap in tennessee in uh what he calls the shitty old US of A. And the question is, what is the synopsis of the 2002 film Ankle Biters? What's the synopsis of the 2002 film Ankle Biters? So we'll probably write about two or three sentences here. Ankle Biters?

Ankle Biters. And while you're writing those answers, let me tell you more about Gay Hitler. According to Megan, she heard this mentioned on an old episode of this show and wasn't sure if anyone complied with my wishes to submit this name for a question. I don't remember that happening, amazingly, but apparently his name's come up before. Anyway, according to Jonathan Chait, writing for NYMag, Pickaway, Ohio is a town filled with things named after Hitler. Hitler Road, Hitler Ludwig Road, Hitler Ludwig Cemetery, Pickaway, Ohio is a town filled with things named after Hitler.

Hitler Road, Hitler Ludwig Road, Hitler Ludwig Cemetery, Hitler Park, among others. In most states, this would be considered scandalous, but since we're talking about Ohio, it merely rises to the local curiosity of moderate interest. It's really having a go here, Jonathan, at the beautiful state of Ohio. The Circleville Herald reports that this is simply because a prominent local family of Hitlers has deep local roots. George Hitler was born on the 15th of May, 1763 in Maryland. He married Susanna Gay in Pennsylvania, and they came to pick away with four of their children, John, Catherine, Jacob, and George. with four of their children, John, Catherine, Jacob, and George. The article continues listing the various Hitler spawn and their tedious exploits until stumbling to this unbelievable detail. Dr. Gay Hitler, son of George Washington Hitler,

was a local dentist serving our community from 1922 through 1946. Then he goes on to say, What's amazing about this story is not just the information it contains, but the completely deadpan tone. George Washington Hitler was a person he had a son named gay hitler who became dr gay hitler this was a real person dr gay hitler in ohio until 1946 uh and then jonathan uh chate finishes his little article here by saying, This story brings into question what lies at the heart of this series of articles. What is the problem with this state?

And it brings it closer to a resolution by suggesting a simple theory. Ohio was settled by Hitlers. It doesn't sound like he likes Ohio much, which I think is a bit rough. God's country itself. All right, the answer in. Final question. What is the synopsis of the 2002 film, Ankle Baiters?

When a Dachshund breeder goes missing in mysterious circumstances, Detective Grog Duncan is forced not only to solve the crime, but also to take in the tiny rapscallions. There's only one problem. His pet cat, Muff Muff.

Over time, Grog and Muff Muff grow quite fond of the little ankle biters. The breeders' whereabouts are still not known to this day. A twist revealed in text moments before the end credits. What a disappointing end. Also, like, the synopsis to include the end credits. This is amazing. Spoiler alert. I just watched the whole movie in my head.

Who could have written that? Option two, an unfortunate accident has severe consequences as Hamlet De Niro's life is flipped on its head. Thanks to court-mandated community service, Hamlet is forced to serve his community service at a dog rescue. Though he's slow to warm up to the canine companions Hamlet begins to bond with the rescue dogs over time, especially one ankle biting

chihuahua named Spartacus when the city threatens to shut down the dog rescue due to a clerical oversight Hamlet does everything he can to save his furry friends all while learning a little bit about himself along the way it's beautiful nerdy high schooler Greta

has one last chance to lose her virginity before going to college and give herself a new legacy beyond the socks she was bullied for wearing to her cheerleading tryouts.

Anyway, the guy's name is Matt Stewart and he's a teacher. I would have said that for last if I knew it was going to have a fun twist.

A small town is overrun by short, ankle-biting, blood-sucking vampires. Things get complicated when the vertically challenged coffin creepers get their itty-bitty hands on a sword with the blood of the last slain tall vampire. With this relic, they can create a super race of shack-sized Draculas out of any tall human. Now the half-vampire, half-human Drexel is the town's and the world's only hope to stop this countryside invasion of the mini-demons. There are no short fixes to this tall problem. That's, uh, option four.

Two more. In this movie adaptation of the erotic thriller of the same name, Felicity Diamond is enjoying her rise to model stardom as the first female model to advertise for crocs the latest in fashion footwear unfortunately fame comes with a cost felicity soon finds herself on the receiving end of messages from a stalker obsesses over her foot photos when she finally confronts her obsessive fan she learns that there are more there may be more to him than meets the eye. Well, finally, at Our Lady of Mercy Orphanage, a room full of infants are accidentally fed milk contaminated with lamb's blood during a full moon. Over one long night, the nuns are picked off one by one

by the resulting demon babies, leaving only Mother Superior to destroy them all. Okay, so very briefly, you've got Detective Greg Duncan. Okay. Why is that the detail you'd pick at? Sorry. So you've got the Dachshund breeder one.

Then you've got the one with Hamlet De Niro, who learns a little bit about himself along the way. Well, you would, wouldn't you? You would. You've got nerdy high schooler Greta who has one last chance to lose her virginity. You've got a small town being overrun by short, ankle-biting, blood-sucking vampires.

And then you've got the erotic thriller about Crocs. And then you've got the orphanage that creates blood sucking demons because of Lock Night Infalina I hate all of these I hate all of them 2002 not a great time for cinema

I really liked the vampire one until there was the like until they named Drexel and I was like it's too much, isn't it? I actually went to college at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Just a fun fact about me.

That is a cool fact, though. That's cool. I'm not saying the word Drexel doesn't exist. I only know it as a dragon or a university. So what you're saying tracks for me. Best Picture that year was won by A Beautiful Mind. So it didn't win. I also felt like the language in that one was too silly.

Yeah. It was really silly getting their tiny little hands. Yeah, tiny little hands felt like. But it does feel like the most actual movie. No, does it? Doesn't it? Yeah. the most actual movie. No, does it? Doesn't it? Yeah. Oh, they're all terrible.

Yeah, but I mean, these are all like, the movies that we pick have to be obscure, sort of low budget. I think of the two horror ones, The Orphanage feels more like a movie. The tiny little vampires. Yeah. Well, maybe. Yeah, they're both basically tiny little vampires, aren't they?

I was working on a piranha's angle, but I couldn't remember where they were in the world. That's fair. And I knew it was just going to out me. So you outed yourself with... Oh, no. What makes you think you know what mine is? It could be someone framing me.

Yep. The second one's the learns a bit about himself along the way, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Which is... That felt very similar to the first movie. It just didn't have a Grub Donkin reference. I think it had a worse name, Hamlet De Niro.

Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah. I'm really struggling with all of them, so... I go the true. Yeah. I'm really struggling with all of them, so... I go The Vampires. Alright, let's make it clear. They're all really bad. I'm going to go The... Well, I believe this movie might be bad.

That's fair. Hamlet De Niro for me. You've got Hamlet De Niro? Okay. 2002 feels like the kind of time when they would tell you... When they tell someone Hamlet De Niro. Yeah, and they'd let you know someone learned a bit through the movie. Yeah. Yeah, that is true. They would someone learned a bit through the movie. Yeah.

Yeah, that is true. They would put that on there. That's definitely a 90s thing. 2002 is basically the 90s. His personal growth was huge in movies then. A little bit. A little bit of nothing. Not too much.

All right. Here's who wrote the answers. The erotic thriller about Croc wearing model. Okay, that wasn't real. That was Ben, the question writer, aka The House. Ben also wrote Hamlet De Niro. Well done, Ben. So, point for The House there.

Saran wrote the one about the Dachshund breeder. Really? For some reason included the detective Greg Duncan in there as if he likes the self-sabotage. The one about nerdy high schooler Greta. Anyway, the guy's name is Matt Jordan. He's a dentist.

That was Lena. I was taking ages and I got self-conscious. Is that not self-sabotage? Oh, it's not my entire performance at this point. But you guys have both shamed me for actually trying. No, it was intimidating how quickly and well you did that. Well, and that makes sense because, Lena, you did pick Claire's. Yeah, damn.

The Orphanage. But it does sound like a good movie. It does. It just sounds like a Netflix movie, you know? For sure. Yeah, like it's an orphanage. Like it's obviously shock horror, but this idea of little know? For sure. Yeah, like it's an orphanage. It's obviously shock horror, but this idea of little demon ankle butters. Yeah, I think it's great.

It was the best of the... Let's do it. And it's definitely better than the real one, which you guessed correctly, was about short vampires. Oh, my God. That sounds like a terrible movie. They mentioned Shaq in that. That's crazy.

Shaq, guys. Yeah, it's terrible. As a scale of reference. Is that what that... Yeah, he wants a scale of reference. That does check out for 2002. Yeah. Yeah, true.

You know, that was a real, what, like... That was when you were using shack for a measurement. Yeah, that is how I measured most of my, like... We got a caravan. Yeah, we got a new caravan. It fits four shacks. You know? It's the actual... Yeah. We'll show you the a new caravan it's four shacks yeah we'll show you

the room it's one by two shacks yeah oh because sometimes like ben could have written that and rewritten it after saying but that is the actual that's what was put out as the synopsis of the film including all that writing that you thought was too much i mean it is but it's the 2000s yeah yeah all right so i'll just set up the scores but while doing that let me quickly tell you Too much. I mean, it is, but it's the 2000s. Yeah. All right. So I'll just set up the scores. But while we're doing that, let me quickly tell you about the film. According to Ben, the film has no critical reviews. That's how you know they've done pretty well.

Couldn't even get a critic to watch it. Yeah, but you know what? They got it made, and I have not got a movie. So I'm all like, that sounds like a terrible movie, but I'm still like, they got that made. Oh, yeah. That had a production schedule. Great work.

That had, like, a costume department. Yeah, people thought about that. Right? Some of those people probably went on to make other films. It's like that John Mulaney bit about he's just impressed that they're able to get a budget together. He's like, people making a movie. I can't believe they even got $100 million dollars or whatever i'd be impressed to see and it's a great bit that i'm

doing very good justice apparently the audience gave a 38 approval which is higher than many and the writer director star is adam minarovic and uh ben also says i can only assume his cast mate catherine minarovic is no longer related to him after appearing in this movie. But yeah, it sounds like it was a real family affair, sort of. Daughter emancipation. Yeah. Writer, director, star is always a good sign, I think. That's an auteur.

Yeah. Room style scenario. That's the only way my movie's going to be made. On my iPhone. I'll play one of their kids in the orphanage. You're going to be the mother superior, babe. Alright, final scores.

In fourth place, scoring a point way back at round one, it was Sirenja Amana. That's, yeah. I forgot that I even scored a point In third place on two points It's Lena Moon I'll take it

Thank you so much But it was a sweet period of the game Honestly I could not be prouder of myself In second place On eight points It's The House Out in front

Way out in front on 13 points is Claire Hooper. Yes. Oh, my goodness. That's the triple points for you. Sometimes it goes your way. Yeah, it went my way. And Claire, so people can find you, your podcast, which we'll have an episode coming out at some point.

That's right, I got Matt Stewart. The very Matt Stewart. It sounds like I'm just writing a podcast spiel that Lena Moon's invented to win a game. But my podcast has Matt Stewart on it. Wait, you got the tree from the Bob Ross show? That's Matt Stewart, the tree. The tree dentist.

The podcast is called I'm the Worst. And your show coming up around Australia. Yeah, that's right. So proud. If you're in Perth, that's where I'm kicking off. And Lena, where can people find you? You can watch my Twitch, which is just Lena Moon, but also Annie and Lena, we're doing a festival show.

Please follow our Instagram. It gets rejuvenated once a year for us to plug our comedy festival shows. So please, yes, follow that. And Saran? Yep, I'll be in Perth. I am in Perth right now with matt stewart uh of podcast notoriety not to be confused with uh matt stewart from that movie that lena wrote that one where greta got it she's embarrassed about her socks um uh yeah we're doing a show called dryer dryer

at fringe world please come down check it out we'll be in Adelaide as well and Melbourne later in the year. And Brisbane. Brisbane. Hang around to hear the outtakes. I can't remember what there was, but there was a long discussion about something that will definitely be there. And thanks so much, everyone, for joining us.

Give us a five-star review if you want to. No pressure, but it would be nice if you did. Tell someone who might enjoy it about it. As well as definitely check out Claire's show this week because I'm going to tell her something bad I did. Cheers for tuning in to Who Knew With Matt Short. Now that you know it, I've been Matt Short. Goodbye.

Bye. These games, I already have enough spirals on a normal day. And then you sit me down and you go, hey, which ones pretend? Which ones fake? I'm going to gaslight you. Make you believe things that aren't true and make you kind of go down the path of, well, no, it could be like a fun name. A fun name for the frog. It could be a fun name for the frog.

It's not the scientific name. It could be, you know, a casual name for the frog. Don could be a fun name for the frog. It's not the scientific name. It could be, you know, a casual name for the frog. Don't be stupid, Lena. That's not right. It's the other frog. That's what's happening. Yeah, sorry to do that to you. Yeah, it is.

But thanks for doing it. It's a tough game for someone with an imagination. But you're also perfectly suited to it. Where all six possibilities become real in the moment that you're saying them. So many of them are so ridiculous as well. It's like, which one of these ridiculous things is real? They all could be. And in that moment, the universe splits into six and you live in all of the universes.

Yeah, that's right. Totally. And they look at you in, because I'm picturing like, I do have an imagination. I'm picturing like the enclosures in the zoo, right? The little like glass, you know, anduring, like, the enclosures in the zoo, right? The little, like, glass, you know. And you're like, that one's cute. And then you go, oh, I can't actually see that one. Maybe they're cleaning the tank.

Oh, I like that. I don't know if that one's in there. You know, every time you go. You're rubbing this into Saran because he doesn't have a mind's eye. I don't have a mind's eye. Oh, my sister doesn't have that either. Which would kill me because I, yeah. What?

Some people can't see pictures in their brain. What? Yeah. Yeah, so I was only telling you that this week. What? Hey. But. Oh, and this will be interesting because when he told me,

I asked him two questions and he said, that's the first question everyone asked. And I asked him another question. He said, that's the other question. And you just asked the first question I asked. Which is, how do you dream? Yes. yes well i can't remember what the other question do you have any other questions what bit of your brain is missing i don't i can't see it to tell you no i think it's quite normal i looked it up i looked it up can you imagine your own can you

imagine looking at your own back what is no i yeah i can think about my own back, but I don't see it. What's crazy is you can't, but I can imagine your back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But let me tell you, it doesn't help you to not have this ability in this game. I was equally perplexed by which frog it is. True. The swoop and droop. Aphantasia?

Is that what it's called? That's what it's called. Yeah. What was the second question everyone asked? Thank you, internet. How do you do it? How do you sleep at night? How do you dream?

How do you sleep? Okay. Dudes are always obsessed with how do you masturbate. I didn't ask that, actually. I didn't ask that one, did I? That would have been wild. I don't remember that you asked it either. I don't think I did ask that one, did I? That would have been wild. I don't recall asking that. I don't think I did ask that.

Yeah, because so many men are using their imagination to masturbate. Have you heard of the answer? No, but sorry. But does that mean that your memories are without vision? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when a thing has happened to you. And my imagination.

Both memories and imagination. Yeah, I get the get the okay so what's happened to people when i've had this conversation with them is you like you give them an example of like okay so imagine an apple you can imagine an apple in your head and sometimes people are like i can't and then they find out that they also that's very similar to how i yeah yeah my my partner asked me to imagine a horse and that was was that? Yeah, I couldn't. But she was doing some personality tests where she asked everyone. And apparently what the horse is doing, what color it is, it tells you about the person, what they see.

And so we concluded I have no personality. Of all the people in this room, I have the most to lose from a further digression. But can you please, I'm so sorry. But so if a thing has happened to you, you can't recall the vision of the thing that has happened to you. Yeah, I can recall. So like five minutes ago is gone. Yeah.

It's an audio soundtrack only. Yeah, and or feelings. Does that make the room feel much fresher to you than it does to us who have the five minutes to go visual? Yeah. In this heat, no. Yeah, it is pretty muggy. Matt's just reached for the air conditioning.

Yeah, I don't know. It hurts my brain to think about it. Is it? I mean, it's got a definition on the internet. Is it something that people are like, you can develop it? You know, the way people can wiggle one ear and they're like. I have looked into this. So one forum I looked at was like, oh, you probably have some trauma

that happened in your past and it was so bad that you've blocked out the ability to remember. And then another forum was like. I hope it's that one. Yeah. Well, the other forum was like, you are spiritually advanced. So that's the one I chose to subscribe to.

One you get to pick. Yeah, you get to pick the belief. But then they were talking about, in that forum, they were talking about some people had used psychedelics and stuff to try to activate it. Because I have the memory stuff,

but that's just roaring ADHD. So, you know, we can line up on that stuff. Everybody's overrated, though. Okay, what would happen if you took DMT, though? Because that's all about the pictures. Like, that's entirely imagination, right? Yeah. It's really picture-based.

I do dream. So, I guess it would be similar to that. It sounds like you've been lying to us this whole time. Next question. Sinking droop Red footed barb frog Great rodney marsh frog Pobble bonk

Quirky boys Southern boragong blue Well I'm trying to picture them at the zoo And none of them are there Were any of you weird al fans growing up or now yeah like as much as you can be you know well no there's definitely a spectrum and uh evan monroe smith who was on last week he's at the huge fan i mean look he ran away from home to see him play live when he was 17. That's an incredible story. So great.

I was a delinquent at 17 sneaking out to see Modest Mouse and Evan Monroe Smith. Slipping out his window to see Weird Al. That's so great. But also, you didn't say that he just snuck out for the concert. He ran away from home. He was too ashamed to go back. Yeah, his parents are like, we will not hear another parody song in this house. And he's like, I'm getting out of here. Runs down the, you know, hallway and other places in a house

that he ran out of. Yeah, no, you're right. He didn't run away for good. He did go home again. Okay. And it was also to see him in Canberra. So he caught a bus. Oh, that's wild. It's bus. Oh, that's wild.

It's wild. Yeah, that's wild. What I want to know is why were his parents putting their foot down? Yeah. Let the boy live his dream. Imagine being like, I'm against, like, there are, like, metal bands and, like, all these sort of, like, or, like, even, like, pop songs where people are, like, the artist suits too gratuitous

and all that sort of stuff. But they're like, Weird Al is where I draw the line. We won't have silliness in this household. And Evan's the most serious person I know. So that makes sense. Pop music is sacred. If they get a parody, it's not for me. Yeah, they just love the originals.

Yeah, that's wild. He's not even writing the music wow that would be handy for saran who doesn't wouldn't be able to remember this moment but claire just sent me a photo of moments ago do you know that fear where all your friends have a group chat without you? I feel like I'm witnessing what that would feel like. Okay. Okay, what? It must be fun getting to see all the answers, Matt. Yeah.

Yeah. Is that fun? Do you want one day me to run the game so you can play it? That'd be fantastic. Let's do it. So, I mean, I don't think I'd be very good at it, but it would be fun. At least I know now. It would be good probably to see the other side of it.

See it for what it is. It does seem to make people feel more anxious than I mean it to. But also you should see Claire's offer for what it is, which it's less altruistic, I think, than she made it out to be. I'll come back, but don't it's less altruistic I think than she made it out to be I'll come back but don't make me do this again I think she hates playing the game the problem with it is

then you'd have to put all the questions together and stuff and that's there's a bit of work involved there you know because I wouldn't be able to see that's okay yeah no I realise you do a lot more prep

than most podcast hosts but I could do it once I'll take you up on that for sure okay all right the answer give your ears out listeners i think i'm part i'm hot partially because the room's hot but also because i'm feeling the pressure that lean is not having a good time no no i'm having a great time i'm just i'm just being silly. I know, I know, but I'm still... Part of it gets through and I'm sweating.

That has happened to me in the past because it reads as Jayamana, but it's Jayamana. And then for a little while I was going, no, I think it's Jayamana because it's Jayamana. No, I think it's Jayamana because it's Jayamana. No, I think it's Jayamana. Yeah, exactly. So you double-blood yourself. When you're ADHD, you can't ever trust your brain,

and I do that to every person. I second-guess every single conversation and person I see. It's a problem. It's like you're like, you know their name. I forgot my best friend's name in common then you and you stall you're like this is my so if you're ever around me and i give a lot of detail about someone before i say their name that's me desperately trying to remember their name even if they're like in my life oh man i do yeah that is brutal yeah my so this is my best

friend and we write comedy together and we we actually, we've been around. We've gone on tour. And it's Annie. This is Annie. Man. That's how that goes. Yep. Do you remember my name?

Claire. She did it. I did it. But I didn't stall. Whereas the host of the podcast, this is my friend. He's the host of the podcast. He's asking us questions. Who knew about Matt Stewart? Ah, Matt Stewart. stewart oh sorry i was just saying whoa sorry no no thank you yes

matt everyone i've got all your names on here and uh i need it sometimes it's wild i'm like oh my god when i used to be a camera assistant one of the tricks one of the tricks that the dp would get me to do was i would have to write all the actors' names on tape on the camera on the side so that they would be able to prove. And these were, like, famous people. Yes. Which is wild to me. I have that so much.

Emceeing shows is the worst. I write names of good friends on my hand. Well, you never know what's going to happen. And I'm always embarrassed that, you know, I'm trying to rub to rub it off drug you know you're chatting to him after that why i was worried i was gonna forget you yeah adrenaline is a powerful thing oh claire i don't think we said at the start but you're you're doing a your what's your new show this year do you want to do that plug without all the clunking and the pouring? No?

Okay, that's all I get. That's fine. It's called, what? Sorry, Claire. We didn't mention you're doing a bit of a national tour. I refuse to let you edit that out. I've got a new show. It's called So Proud.

And I'll be doing a lot of... I'll do Perth, Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne. Don't know if there'll be... Hopefully get to Brisbane and Sydney as well. But I haven't got the plans in place yet. Yes. Yeah. What are you doing?

You're doing most of those. I'm doing a show with Saran. We're just doing like a new material. Dryer, dryer. Quick show, dryer, dryer. And yeah, figure something out for Sydney, I suppose. Maybe we'll just do a three-person show in Sydney. I think that'd be great.

That'd be better, wouldn't it? Yeah. Me and Saran, we'll do the opening five. You do an hour and we'll come up on stage and wave at the end. I love it. Yeah, we'll all hold hands and take a bow. That is not done enough in comedy. No. It should be more collegiate, I think. I love it. Yeah, we'll all hold hands and take a bow. That is not done enough in comedy.

No. It should be more collegiate, I think. The road shows, they do it a little bit. Yeah, and everyone complains, actually. No, you can't go home to your motel and watch TV. You've got to stay around until the end, hold hands with Greg Fleet and bow. Any of the benefits are going on first.

They're all lost. Yeah, that's right. You go take the bullets. You also get to go to bed early You feel so silly Don't you You're like I was on an hour ago You've forgotten who I am

Here I am Waving Anyway I'm trying again I promise And Matt's laughing Because he's seen what i've put in once you try i'm really worried about it what's interesting is you submit your answer and then you look at matt and you're like well i didn't get it right oh yeah that's the first thing yeah because i

panic when that occasionally happens yeah um can Can you... Could you actually... It happened one time, Maggie Luke sent in the right answer. That makes sense. And she didn't realise, she thought she was being inspired by a real thing that was the wrong answer. Oh, really?

And I'm looking at her like, don't fuck the game. And she's like, what are you talking about? And I was really confused because I'm like, can you just write someone else? She's like, why?

Yeah, why should I do that? Yeah. It was... um oh that's so funny that's quite a moment um i think it all ended up staying in the edit but it was confusing in the in the room uh again just waiting for saran i'm so sorry about saran everybody just throwing you under the bus. This show is normally really quick. Every time Claire comes on, I promise her that it'll be quicker next time. And it never is. I think you have to let her host. She'll steamroll. I'll show you how to do things.

People get five seconds to submit their answers. You get half sentences and... All right, read out the answers. All we have is the correct answer this time. It's nobody made the deadline. And that is how you make it quicker. All right, question number five.
