Welcome to Who Knew with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Our first guest has a show coming up at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival called Act Like I'm Not Here. It's Big Wed herself, Mish Withdrop. It's Big Wed! G'day. Big Wed, it's so good to have you back. It's so nice to be here. You're one of the listeners' favourite guests.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Of course I am. You're probably the only one who has a nickname that really took off on the show. Oh, really? I think so. Okay, sick. Yeah. I'll take that. Have you had anyone come up to you
Starting point is 00:01:32 and call you Big Wet on the street or anything? Not in relation to the podcast. No, okay. Yeah, like, of course, naturally. I can't remember the context of it anymore, but I love it. Our second guest this week, you may know from Mako Mermaids or their upcoming live show, a group of people do an improv show.
Starting point is 00:01:51 It's Amy Ruffell. Hello. I'm so sad I don't have a big, wet, little, wet, middle, wet nickname. That could be our goal for today. I want one. Yeah, you've got to really commit to your love for this podcast. I'm obsessed with this podcast. You don't understand.
Starting point is 00:02:06 So that's probably why. Okay. Well, I'll try harder. I guess is the... Our third guest this week. First time you may know him from The Tourist or his new podcast, The Greg Larson Show. It's Greg Larson. Hello.
Starting point is 00:02:18 What is Big Wet? I don't remember. I can't remember either. How can you not remember? How can you not remember? I don't remember i can't remember either i don't remember it was in relation to something i think it was when i was on with braz and danny walker yeah right and it just kind of stuck and i do actually get people who now refer to me as big wet and it wasn't a sexy thing when we came up with it. And now as time has passed, yeah, I'm like, oh, I think they're talking about my sex.
Starting point is 00:02:49 It wasn't a sexy thing. Like Big Wet is, it's a very sexy name. It's very sensuous. Well, hey, if you were wildly attracted to somebody, right, and they said to you, call me Big Wet, you'd get hard. Like that's like, if you were attracted to them. They've said to you call me big wet you'd get hard like that's like if you were attracted to them they've got to be pretty hot i'm not saying if i just would come it's like call me big wet you'd be like well now i'm in love with mish i'm saying that like if i think if someone if if i if someone said call me big wet in the middle of an erotic encounter
Starting point is 00:03:20 hang on yeah nah let's not worry about it. Stop yucking my yum, man. It's fucked up. Fair. All right. This is the way the show works. Ask a relatively obscure trivia question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer.
Starting point is 00:03:36 I then read their answers as well as the real one. I have to guess which one is correct. Here's the first question. It comes from listener Kayla Hodquits from Lemoyne in Maine. And the question is, what does growlery mean? What does growlery mean? I believe the big witness answered that. Maybe that's how the name started.
Starting point is 00:03:58 It's all coming back to me now. Are you saying growlery? Growlery, yeah. It's like growler with a Y at the end. Growler with a Y. Okay, yeah. Growlery. What does growlery mean? What does growlery mean?
Starting point is 00:04:12 While they're writing their answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. So 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. Put into my own fake answers for each question. With the help of the question writers. And I get a point for each one of these that the guests choose.
Starting point is 00:04:31 So each of us can scrub to three points per round. Which seems pretty fair. But the probability actually favors me. The house. And the house always wins. That's why in the final round. The contestants get triple points and I don't. So it all evens out in the end.
Starting point is 00:04:44 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. All right, so the answers are in. Let's go back to the first question. What does growlery mean? A collection of erotic guttural noises recorded by eccentric 1960s playboy John Brookhaven housed at MoMA, a place you go to be alone when you're in a bad mood, the marks left on your skin after skidding or slipping on concrete gravel or rough ground, a Victorian term for a large
Starting point is 00:05:18 private exotic animal collection, using topsoil to create art in the soil of gardens or it's a sexual place where people go to have their bum holes licked by a friendly man like a sexual business i've done a couple of podcasts with greg this week see the thing is we're gonna know which ones it's like i've seen greg around the trap i've seen greg around the traps I've seen Greg around the traps for the last few years but just this last week I've done a handful of podcasts with him so I feel like I've gotten to know you quite well Greg
Starting point is 00:05:53 I just wanted to say that before we started officially playing sure sure sure one of those did seem to stick out a little more than the others oh you know they're all pretty good answers it's hard to say who wrote what and what wrote who. I'm so glad it's a friendly man.
Starting point is 00:06:11 At the growlery. Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. Hmm. Who knows? Who could it be? Is there any of those sticking out to you, Amy?
Starting point is 00:06:27 What's the victorian one again uh large private exotic animal collection yeah there was that or one other uh i'll go through more quickly so you got the collection of erotic guttural noises recorded by a playboy place to go uh when you're in a bad mood i love the marks left on your skin after skidding on concrete uh victorian term for an exotic animal collection use of topsoil to create art uh and uh the friendly man licking the bumhole oh sorry it's a sexual place you go yeah important to have a second part of that a sexual place where people go yeah to lick ass um no to have their important to have a second part of that a sexual place where people go yeah to lick ass um no to have their oh to have their ass like oh well that changes everything
Starting point is 00:07:10 i do love that one and i do also love the private place to get grumpy or angry whatever that was um but i i like the victorian animals animals okay look good for amy What about you Greg? Well this bum That definitely strikes me And I know a lot of trivia So I feel like Okay That could be it So whoever picks that
Starting point is 00:07:34 Probably would win it Lots of points But I don't know if I'll pick it Because I want to lose What was the first one again the Mona yeah collection of erotic noises
Starting point is 00:07:51 collected by an eccentric playboy housed at MoMA I'm gonna pick that one I feel like that could be it I hope it's it I hope it's it so I can go there
Starting point is 00:08:05 It sounds cool I want to know more about this Did you say MoMA? MoMA So that's not Mona No It's a different one Yeah, I think it's the New York one
Starting point is 00:08:19 Oh, okay Museum of Modern Art Metropolitan Museum of Art. Oh, okay. I'm going to say that one. That's the growlery. You both have picked the two that I was tossing up with, but I was leaning towards MoMA.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Only because of the level of detail. Introducing someone's name. Or maybe Matt Stewart's just gotten real good at this. Yeah, I mean, John Brookhaven,ven that's no one could come up with that that must that's either that's either a real person or nothing at all um i'll go with moma all right it does feel like the other one had a lot of specific detail with the the sexual place yeah whoever wrote that yeah there was a lot of detail in there and sexual place. Yeah, there's a two... Whoever wrote that, there was a lot of detail in there
Starting point is 00:09:07 and it was specific and it was quite well thought out. It's almost like it was the friendly man who wrote that. I think if it had had a name in it, I would have picked it. Promoting a small business. Only issue.
Starting point is 00:09:22 I can't get a leg up. It's hard being a small business owner Nobody wants to go I can't get anyone to come We had interest before COVID We had interest It's just COVID hit it Ruined my business
Starting point is 00:09:36 And I stuck it out Because people told me It would be worth it at the end We're right next to all the offices No one's going to the offices anymore. There's no foot traffic. Open back up. Well, this is who wrote the answers.
Starting point is 00:09:53 This one may surprise you. The one about the friendly man with the sexual place. That was Greg. No. Yeah. That's crazy. I'm a human chameleon, they call me. You can never guess what.
Starting point is 00:10:06 The marks left on your skin after skidding or slipping. That was Mish. Nice. Thanks. Using topsoil to create art in the soil of gardens. That was Amy. No attention on that one. We just really glossed over it.
Starting point is 00:10:19 It's the same with mine. It hurt. A Victorian term for a large private exotic animal collection. That was Kayla, a.k.a. The House. Kayla also wrote the one about John Brookhaven, the eccentric playboy. Meaning the correct answer is a place you go to be alone when you're in a bad mood. You felt like you were in. I know.
Starting point is 00:10:39 I felt like I needed that. Devastating. That seemed like a fake answer to me. Yeah. That seemed like a funny one. me. Yeah. That seemed like a funny one. I'm going to the growlery.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I'm going to the growl in the growlery. Wow. A special mind place you go. Well I'm in the growlery now.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I am absolutely going to bring that into my rotation. Like whenever I'm in a bad mood I'm doing the dishes or something's broken
Starting point is 00:11:03 I'm going to go I'm going to the growlery. And then just go into a little room. That means all Like whenever I'm in a bad mood, I'm doing the dishes, something's broken, I'm going to go, I'm going to the ground. And then just go into a little room. That means all three points in the first round go to the house. Dang. Greg, you did say that this could be the house of the day. I jinxed it.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Thanks, Greg. Thanks a lot, Greg. The next one comes from Dave Warnicky, who's a regular guest on the show. And his question is, what is the nickname of the Who bass player, John Entwistle? What is the nickname of the Who's bass player, John Entwistle? I'll be writing your answers. Here's some more info on the word growlery. According to Wayward Radio, which is a podcast about words, Charles Dickens is credited with
Starting point is 00:11:42 the first known use of the term growlery to mean a person's private sitting room or a place to retreat when one is in a bad mood. Long before that, the French were using the term boudoir for something similar. Apparently boudoir comes from bouda, which means to sulk. So I always think of
Starting point is 00:12:00 boudoir as being like a way to describe a bedroom in a much sexier way. You go into the boudoir, but apparently it's not. It's a way to describe a bedroom in a much sexier way. Going to the boudoir. But apparently it's not. It's a place to salt. Yeah. Come to the boudoir for growl.
Starting point is 00:12:16 How do I get to the boudoir? Well, go through the growlery. There's a man in there. He's really upset. He's friendly, but he is upset. Combine those two things it's a place you go when you're stressed and angry to unwind by having a friendly man all right the answers are in for question number two what's the nickname of the who's bass player john entwistle uncle knuckles
Starting point is 00:12:38 boombox brains thunder fingers balls mcFartney or Plump Daniel? What was the last one? Plump Daniel. I love that. That's fun. What was the second last one? What was the second last one? Balls McFartney.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Balls McFartney? Oh, like Paul McCartney. That's actually quite clever. Maybe Greg didn't write that. Let's not get carried away. Okay, I will accept a lot, but my comedy not being clever? No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:17 It's very clever. It really is, Greg. What I do is extremely clever. I remember I went and saw your show in Sydney, and I was I was during festivals I normally go to shows that have been people talk about how great they are and I go like oh this is pretty good. Why you've never been to one of my shows?
Starting point is 00:13:35 We always clash. We always clash. But normally I go this is pretty good but I don't feel intimidated by this but I went and saw your show in Sydney and I'm like I don't know I can't fucking intimidated by this. But I went and saw your show in Sydney. I'm like, I don't know. I can't fucking do comedy. It's so fucking good.
Starting point is 00:13:48 It's ridiculous. That is nice. I'm wondering which show it was. I don't think I've ever done a show that good. Uncle Knuckles, Boombox, Brains, Thunderfingers, Balls McFartney or Plump Daniel. Do you want to have a go, Greg? I do. Brains, Thunderfingers, Balls McFartney or Plump Daniel? Do you want to have a go, Greg?
Starting point is 00:14:07 I do. And I'm going to say, and I'm genuinely saying this. This isn't like a joke answer. I reckon they might have, like, it might be Balls McFartney. I reckon it might be Balls McFartney. I reckon that they have come up with a silly name for him. They're who are English, aren't they? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Yeah, that sounds like an English. Yeah, they're a bit funny. The English are all funny. Yeah, they're all a bit funny. That is funny, isn't it? Balls McFartney is funny. It's really funny. Balls McFartney is clever. You're on the road for hours on end.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Come on, you've got to do something to give yourself a laugh. I reckon, I genuinely reckon that could be the answer. I'm going to say Balls McFartney. My biggest concern is now that you've picked it, it's not yours. Or he's throwing us off. He's a smart man. I'm taking a dive. I reckon it's either.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Honestly, Balls McFartney, even if that isn't right, whoever came up with that deserves the point because it is very funny um it was maybe oh like thunder fingers is so obvious but maybe that's the beauty of it boombox sucks no offense All right. And so when you don't know who's written them and you're throwing out abuse. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I realized after I said that. I'm so sorry. So it's very dangerous as well because the worst, like everyone in the room can handle it, but the worst thing would be it was a Dave Warnock-y answer. And you're like, actually, Dave would be fine. Yeah, I think he wouldn't mind. What's the last one again? I'm so plump daniel plump daniel i really like plump daniel got a very english humor about it as well yeah i'm okay we'll go the last one even though i yeah we'll
Starting point is 00:15:57 go the last one plump daniel for mish that leaves you amy yeah ballss McFartney is very funny. But for the sake of difference, I'm going to go Uncle Knuckles. Oh, yeah, that was good. I liked Uncle Knuckles. Yeah, there's something to that. All right. Well, this is who wrote the answers. Boombox, which Mish really hated, was Mish.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Okay, yeah. No, no, it's fair. You can all say now. Brains was Amy. brains was amy uh uncle knuckles which i went for that was the house plump daniel which mish went for that was greg balls mcfartney which greg went for that was the house the correct answer was Thunderfingers. No. You were so close to. Bugger. All of ours were better.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Thunder, yeah. It's funny. Sometimes they sound great, but they can't. That's never going to stand up against you guys coming up with fake ones. Thunderfingers. This game fucks with you because you're like, if it's a reasonable answer, you're like,
Starting point is 00:17:03 well, it can't be that one. Yeah. Yes. I'm in your heads. I'm in your mind. After two rounds, it's mission Amy yet to score. Greg, I won't point, but out in front of the house on five points. It's ridiculous how many points you give yourself in this game.
Starting point is 00:17:19 That's bullshit. That's actual bullshit. You have set this game up so that you are on top always. Yeah, who's auditing this? In fairness, if this was my podcast, I'd do the same. Let me just quickly go back through the scores of the previous times you've been on. That's right. First time you were on, the house had one point in the whole game.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah, was that when I was on with Zach? You got seven, Zach got ten. Wow, that's huge. Then the next time you were on, the house came dead last again with five. I'm already, after two rounds, I've almost got what I had in every other time you were on. Okay, that's fair. Okay? I get what you're saying, Matt.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Don't come for Big Wet. All I took away from that was when you said Zach got ten, I went, there's ten questions at least? No, no. I was like, oh, man. Because you can got 10, I went, there's 10 questions at least? No. Because you can get 3 points per round. There's 7. We have hours to go. Alright, question number 3, this comes from Joff from Colac, and the question is... Joff?
Starting point is 00:18:17 Joff, yeah. Joff. That's not a name. Wow, shots fired, Joff. Your parents lied to you, uh question is what is the name of howard the duck's arch nemesis and what is their power so how the ducks are marvel or do you know the answer yeah i would you just well no i don't but if i heard it i would know it okay well do you just you still give us a fake answer okay and um don't i wouldn't you've give us a fake answer. Okay. And I wouldn't... You've already...
Starting point is 00:18:47 Well, you can answer last, but normally just don't say anything. Okay. Because then now they'll know to copy you. No, but I might not actually. I didn't realize Howard the Duck was Marvel. I thought Howard the Duck was a shit film. Isn't it? It was.
Starting point is 00:18:58 It was like one of the first Marvel films, I think. One of the best Marvel films I've ever... The only Marvel film I think is worth watching. So you know this as well? I love Howard the Duck. What? I have no idea. I don't know the answer, though.
Starting point is 00:19:10 All I remember was there was a movie where there was a duck that came from a planet where everyone was ducks, and then a woman fully kissed him and I think had sex with him. Yeah, and she was like a famous actor, wasn't she? It was like Elizabeth Shue or something like that. While they're writing their answers, according to Bass Asylum, John N. Whistle was born in 1944 in England.
Starting point is 00:19:32 He's best known as the founder and member of The Who. He's a bass guitar virtuoso, producer, composer, artist, sound engineer, and owner of quite strong fingers. He's known as Thunderfingers and The Ox. He's known as The Ox due to his dense physique. Oh, man. It's so close to...
Starting point is 00:19:52 What did you call him, Greg? What did I call what? Plump Daniel. He's also known as the Ox because of his dense physique. Who is this? John Endwhistle. There is two nicknames, Thunderfingers and the Ox. Because he's dense.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Yeah, Plump Daniel. I think you were right on the money there. Yeah. And apparently, yeah, he could just eat and drink a lot. And got Thunderfingers because of how he played the bass. That's crazy. Is that surprising? That shocks me.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I think that's... Shocks me to the core. I reckon, because you said it yourself, that The Who are probably really funny. And that's why they came up with a funny nickname like that. Yeah. Look at his fingers. They're real fast. Almost like thunder.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Thunder fingers. Yeah. I still don't know if you're fully getting it, but it is... Like, I get it. I do get it. The time is precious, man. All right. The answer in for question number three
Starting point is 00:20:45 And What have I done So both of you have seen this film I've seen it too but not for sale I couldn't tell you anything about it I would like it on the record I absolutely have not So if there's one answer that feels like an outlier
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's probably going to be mine Amy you simply must I can honestly say I've seen Howard the Duck And what I know about it is there's a duck called Howard that's like literally about the extent of it I don't remember the film at all was it George Lucas
Starting point is 00:21:13 that directed it? I think it was something like that wow I remember seeing this thing that was like whoever the director was was saying like if I could destroy every tape of this I would I would. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I would do anything in my power to make this movie just disappear and never exist again. It was directed by Willard Hayek. Maybe that was a career end up for Willard. So not quite George Lucas. But he might have been a producer or something. Was it Lucasfilm? He was a producer. He was a producer. Okay. So, yeah, that means he funded it, right? He was a producer. He was a producer.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Okay. So, yeah, that means he funded it, right? Yeah. All right. Here is question three. What is the name of How the Ducks Arch-Nemesis and what is their power? Freddy Fun Times. He doesn't mean to be, but he's just a bad influence on people.
Starting point is 00:21:59 They always end up partying too hard when Freddy's around. Raymond. they always end up partying too hard when Freddy's around. Raymond can eat and drink endlessly and is never full or tired after. Ooh. Raymond. The baker makes various kinds of bread that have a range of negative effects on ducks. Dr. Bong wears a helmet shaped like a bell
Starting point is 00:22:25 and has a large metal ball instead of a hand and when he strikes a helmet with his ball hand he can paralyze his enemies Gavin Squirt his superpower is magic spells or Senator Burton he had the power to render animals completely unlovable. Oh.
Starting point is 00:22:47 So you got... All of these answers are weird. Yeah, that's a really sad one. That's the worst power of them all. I don't love this animal anymore. So you got Freddy Fun Times, Raymond, The Baker, Dr. Bong, Gavin Squirt. Dr. Bong. Or Senator Burton
Starting point is 00:23:05 Um Mish I think you haven't Oh you Do you want to go Do you want me to go I know the answer Don't go first Yes go first
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yes We can take down the house It is your turn to go first But I'm not going first No chance They'll just No
Starting point is 00:23:20 I'm going to win Okay Okay well You'll have to go first The next Okay that's fine Well we you'll have to go first the next cup. Okay, that's fine. Well, we see where you've positioned yourself, Mitch. I think the ones that stand out to me is Dr. Bong and Senator...
Starting point is 00:23:36 Senator Burton. Senator Burton, the sad pets. But I think it had so much detail, the Dr. Bong. Dr. Bong? Yeah. All right, looking at Dr. Bong for Amy. What are you thinking, Greg? I...
Starting point is 00:23:51 What was the first one again? Freddie... Freddie Funtimes. And what was his superpower? He just parties too hard. He's just alive with a body. He's a bad influence on people. See, it's hard because Howard the Duck is a duck.
Starting point is 00:24:07 And he's called Howard the Duck, and he's from a planet where they're all ducks. So the answer is going to be silly. Yes, that's right. And so it could be any of them. I also think it's Dr. Bong. Yep. I think the specifics,
Starting point is 00:24:22 I think the fact that it's called Dr. Bong, I reckon that's the one. Yeah. All right, lock that in. All right, Mish, what do you want to lock in? I'll be locking in Dr. Bong. Oh! We didn't even need you!
Starting point is 00:24:38 Dr. Bong! Yeah! I'm doing the goods. I feel good! I'm so glad it went that way, so they got to have the point for themselves. Yes. Now, the reason I know that is not because of the movie.
Starting point is 00:24:50 I have seen the movie. But I knew a guy who had a bong. It was Dr. Bong was the name of his bong. And he's asking, have you seen How With The Duck? And I was like, no, that's how I remembered that. I was like, it has something to do with a bong. And I couldn't remember exactly. And then when you said it, I was like no that's how i remembered that i was like it has something to do with a bong and i couldn't remember exactly and then when you said it i was like there it is it shocks me that someone that smokes a lot of weed would have watched how
Starting point is 00:25:12 have you seen how the dark fuck i want to watch it again dude dr bong all right well uh we'll quickly go through who wrote the answers. Freddie Fun Times, that was The House, as was The Baker. Raymond. I liked The Baker one. The Baker bit of fun. I liked Raymond. I think.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Raymond, that was Amy. It's just my dream to be able to do that. Gavin Squirt, that was Greg. It does sound like a role you might have played at some point. Yeah. It's a new a role you might have played at some point. Yeah. What's the new character I'm working on? That might actually, that could stick as your nickname. Big Wet and Gavin Squirt.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Oh, that's my good. Gavin Squirt. G Squirt. Oh, okay. True. That's good. That's good. I reckon that's good.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Great. Yeah, I like G Squirt. Let's not talk about it too much. Let's just put it out there. Oh, good. Good. I'm I'm happy No I wanted the nickname Yours is coming we'll find it And finally we got Senator Bert And that was Mish
Starting point is 00:26:15 That was a dark one Mish I am a sad person I have feelings That was my second choice No one can make up Senator Fuck Dammit Dr. Bong I have feelings. That was my second choice. Yeah, that was my second choice. Yeah, no one can make up, Senator. Fuck. Yeah. All right, so that means...
Starting point is 00:26:27 Damn it, Dr. Bong. Dr. Bong wings again. A point there for Mish, Amy and Greg, meaning now the scores are Mish and Amy on one point, Greg on two points, House still out in front on five points. Here's question four. What did baseball manager Bobby Valentine do after umpires ejected him from a game on the 9th of June 1999?

He consumed 23 hot dogs from a cart outside the stadium, causing his stomach to perforate and ultimately killing him. He dug a home plate out of the ground and took it home with him so the game couldn't continue. He snuck onto the pitch at 2.36am and defecated on the scoreboard,
Starting point is 00:28:27 only to be caught by security and forced to make a public apology the following morning. None of these are great for him so far. He gave the umpires the kiss of death. The umpire was later found swimming with the fishes. He killed someone? Swimming with the fishes? Usually the term is sleeping with the fishes.
Starting point is 00:28:50 But he was having a swim with the fishes. So he was fine? He was fine. That's okay, you can do that. I went on holiday once. I swam with the fishes. It was really nice. People pay to swim with fishes.
Starting point is 00:29:03 What a nice day for him He had a kissy He had a lovely little kissy And then he went for a swim That's a lovely evening That's a good day That's a wonderful day for me You get a little kissy
Starting point is 00:29:17 And then you go for a nice swim That's a little kissy in a swimmy Kissy in a swimmy Oh that's very funny He was late about swimming Hey Bobby Hey Come on in
Starting point is 00:29:33 It's true I had the afternoon off Yeah Didn't have to work so Sounds like a healthy way To have dealt with that blow From the other side Yeah exactly
Starting point is 00:29:39 Two more options He put on a disguise Of a fake mustache And sunglasses and tried to come back to the bench Or he became An adult baby An adult baby is a person Who's as little
Starting point is 00:29:53 As a full big baby Sometimes it is sexual But it is also something people do To de-stress And go back to the simple way of life With Bobby Valentine It was both a way to de-stress and go back to the simple way of life for Bobby Valentine. It was both a way to de-stress and fulfill sexual desires
Starting point is 00:30:10 by having his mummy and daddy change his nappies. Because they all loved it so it was all good and they were all happy. Oh, that's so funny, Greg. What do you mean? What do you...
Starting point is 00:30:22 Are you just telling me that's a funny thing? I mean, yeah, cool. The three of us are weeping and you are you just telling me that's a funny thing I mean yeah the three of us are weeping and you are sitting there so fun yes yes you did
Starting point is 00:30:31 I'm just I'm just thinking about whether or not that's the correct answer or not that's all good answers and there could be any it could be any one of them
Starting point is 00:30:37 that's great that was so good how good are adult babies man are there some really good short docos have you seen them I love adult babies yeah I love adult babies I love adult babies babies man there are some really good short dog okay so miss you got first crack you got died from overeating hot dogs I took the meant the game couldn't be played because he took the home plate I defecate on the scoreboard
Starting point is 00:31:05 but was caught and had to apologise. Gave the umpire a kiss of death and was found swimming with the fishes. Put on a disguise, fake moustache and sunnies. Oh, I love that one. Or became an adult baby. I couldn't explain what that is,
Starting point is 00:31:21 but I think an adult baby is a person. Believe me, I understand what an adult baby is. I was glad for the explainer. I thought that was kind of what it was, but it was good to have a paragraph. It's nice to be sure. You never know. I love the moustache one. I think that is great.
Starting point is 00:31:40 And I think the home plate one, that makes sense. But also, wouldn't they just play? They'd just replace the plate. You know what I mean? I think they'd probably have a spare. Yeah. What was the first one again? I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:31:51 First one was he consumed 23 hot dogs from a cart outside the stadium. Nah. That didn't happen. No. So swimming. Maybe the shit one. No, it's not the swimming one. Maybe the shit one No it's not the swimming one Maybe the shit one
Starting point is 00:32:07 No home base We're going to go home base Home base? Yes You talked away out And back into that one Yep I'm going with The home base got stolen
Starting point is 00:32:14 Alright no worries Amy what do you think? See I was thinking home base And then y'all talked me out of it Being like They could just replace it Yeah surely there'd be a spare In the
Starting point is 00:32:22 You would think But if you dug it out Right But it was 1990 I was thinking If it's in the 30... You would think. But if you dug it out... Right. But it was 1990. I was thinking if it's in the 30s, you dig something out, there's a hole, your whole life's over.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Like, what are you going to do? I feel like that was a time where holes were... Holes were killing. They knew what holes were. They knew all about holes. Yeah, I know, but it would be a bigger deal.
Starting point is 00:32:38 What is this? What is this? What is this? Now it's there and now it's not. Why is there a dip in the ground? I'm going to blow this story wide open I'm going to go swim with some fishes We can't beat the Kaiser
Starting point is 00:32:52 We've got holes in the ground That's where he ended up No he's not the Kaiser That was Hitler Yeah that's true Damn that was almost He was the Fuhrer The Fuhrer
Starting point is 00:33:01 If it's not home base I think it's shit But I'm Home base You've already answered though Okay So what are you lockinger. If it's not home base, I think it's shit. But I'm... Home base. You've already answered, though. Okay. So what are you locking in? Home base.
Starting point is 00:33:08 You're home base. Well, then I'll take defecation. Okay. Locking that in for Amy. That leaves you, Greg. I... Yeah, I just... Again, I feel like there's one of them being discounted just out of hand.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Like, that's necessarily people. Anyway, I, yeah, obviously the Arab baby one is good, but I think it, I'm going to go with one that I think is silly, but also I want it to be true. The hot dogs. Hot dogs, great. Because I love the idea of an angry man going, fuck this, fuck this. One, two, three, four, five. Eating 23 hot dogs and dying from just rage.
Starting point is 00:33:52 I can relate. Bobby, Bobby, what are you doing? You've got to stop, Bobby. I can't stop. I ain't stopping until I hit two dozen. All right, let's go through the answers. He gave the umpire the kiss of death and was swimming with the fishes. That was the house.
Starting point is 00:34:14 No shit, really? Yeah. Yep. I, uh, yeah. That is... I'm glad you, uh, pulled that apart. Swimming with the fishes. Like, oh, thanks.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Thanks, Don. The Don comes and takes you. Yeah, thanks, Fredo. It changes the ending of Godfather 2 in a big way. It's just like Fredo just went for a nice swim in the lake. And then he's back. Thank you. I 100% just watched the Godfather trilogy.
Starting point is 00:34:43 That's why I'm so down with the lingo. Yeah. Becoming an adult baby. That was Greg. No. It was me. After all. Surprise.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Amy, you went for the one about defecating on the scoreboard. That was Mish. You fell into a classic Mish trap. Big wet sl. Wow. Big Wet slops again. You slipped up on Big Wet's trap. Greg, you went for consuming the hot dogs. That was Amy.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Yes. I was very close to getting pregnant. Mish, you went for digging out home plate. That was Chris, aka The House. Well done, Chris. Meaning the correct answer. One of you was so close to picking it fake mustache and sunglasses oh i love that that's cool yeah that's footage well done there's footage and the commentators pick it instantly they They're like, what's it doing? I can't see this. Oh, I love that.
Starting point is 00:35:46 I can't see this. No, it's not me. No. So funny. That's so good. So that means point to Amy, point to the house, and a point to Mish. Here is question number five. It comes from three different people wrote this one in.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Michael Nielsen from Signet in Tasmania, Betsy from California, and Josh Harmon from Garland, Texas. And the question is, what jazz song did British band leader Harry Roy and his Bat Club Boys release in 1931? Just need a name of a song. Harry Roy and his Bat Club Boys.
Starting point is 00:36:23 His Bat Club Boys. It's a wild name, but yeah, just need the name of the song. And from 1931. While you're writing those answers, here's a little more info on the fake Mo incident. According to the MLB website, after being sent off, Valentine revamped his look with a hat and sunglasses, though he was sceptical about the spect spectacles considering it was a night game but the piece de resistance was the two pieces of eye black tape that he applied to his upper lip giving him
Starting point is 00:36:56 a Hercule Poirot style mustache he looked to his coaching partners and they said no one will ever know apparently well he was wrong about that. Cameras in the dugout caught him almost immediately, in part because one of his teammates was meant to block him, but didn't quite stand in the right spot. And announcers could be heard laughing at the sight on the broadcast, saying, that is not Groucho Marx. That would be the manager of the New York Mets.
Starting point is 00:37:21 The jig was up. The skipper who thought he was slick had been out-sloofed. When asked about the disguise after, Valentine tried to deny it, saying, it was somebody else who didn't even look like me. But he's since come to embrace
Starting point is 00:37:36 the moment, apparently. It's one of his most famous moments, even though he made it to a World Series one year. The answer for question number five, what jazz song did British band leader Harry Roar and his Bat Club Boys release in 1931? Bat Club...
Starting point is 00:37:50 Bat Club Bat Boys, Back in the Boy Club. My Girl's Pussy. Jesus. Bing Bong Bobby, Beat My Breasts. Swingtown Cash. I Crash My Car, Harder than the stock market Or cannibalism gets a bad rap It's a bit to unpack

Starting point is 00:38:20 This is my theory Three people Suggested this question And that is the kind of answer to a question that would make three people go, I've got to get let Matt Stewart know about this pussy thing. I want to know how they, like, are they in a little group about this pod?
Starting point is 00:38:34 Well, the first one suggested it a couple of years ago and the other two just both suggested it at the same time a couple of weeks ago. So they've individually all did it. Oh, I thought they together were like, let's send one email. No, no. Yeah, they all just individually did. And I think because two did it about the same time.
Starting point is 00:38:52 I'm like, has it gone viral recently or something? I'm not sure. But yeah. So I think it's your go, Greg. I am also going to say My Girl's Pussy. Okay.

Starting point is 00:40:09 No. That was Mish. I mean, the correct answer is My Girl's Pussy. Yes. As soon as you said the answer, I didn't know the band name, but I knew that song. Right. I know that song.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Yeah, I think I've just... You know My Girl's Pussy. Is it like, My Girl's Pussy? Yeah, that sort of thing. It's sort of. song yeah i think i've just covered you know my girl's pussy like my girl's pussy yeah that's kind of sort of it's i i but the the reason i know the song and i can't talk about this movie highly enough the movie babylon have you ever seen babylon oh yeah i've seen babylon oh it's it's sung at the very beginning um i'm sure that would be it it'd be some coincidence if there was another wait babylon that movie that came out like last year. Yeah. Oh, I hated that film.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Really? Hated. I reckon that was one of my favourite movies of all time. Wow. I reckon that's in my top five. You think operas are long. That film was two and a half hours too long. I loved it. Every second anyway.
Starting point is 00:40:59 But when I watched it, I watched it on a plane. Oh, come on. There we go. It was on Emirates. And they cut it. So when she came out and she sings a song, she goes, come on. There we go. It was on Emirates. And they cut it. So when she came out and she sings a song, she goes, there's one thing I love. And then like.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Yes, I'm sure that's it. And then suddenly it just, everyone goes, yay. Because that. What did she love? What was she about to sing about? I'm so interested in that. And then I watched the movie. I watched the movie.
Starting point is 00:41:23 It's meant to be really. I thought it was critically panned, right? Babylon. It's like... I reckon, based on the reviews I saw, it was like some people are in my camp of going, it's the best, and other people... It's like, other people are like,
Starting point is 00:41:35 this is the fucking worst movie. I hated it. I watched it on the plane, and then I immediately got home and watched it again. Wow. Second time. To find out what she loved. And what a lovely treat to find out she loved Pussy
Starting point is 00:41:45 what did she love you wait months I'm assuming heading overseas for this job of a lifetime you come back what does she love to find out it's Pussy
Starting point is 00:41:53 what is your life or treat it was on the way back so it was like literally it was like the next day I watched it again
Starting point is 00:42:00 I just re-watched it straight away I'm glad because it looked like the kind of movie I'd really enjoy. It should be good, but it's simply too long. Oh, it's all simply too long.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I hated it. I reckon it's just long enough. All right, after five rounds, scores are Amy on two, Greg on three, Mish on four, but the house is still just down front on six. Here's the second last question. It comes from Nick Dennis from Eddas in Pennsylvania. As a way of keeping their bees happy, what did Western Europeans do
Starting point is 00:42:30 in the 18th and 19th centuries? As a way of keeping their bees happy, what did Western Europeans do in the 18th and 19th centuries? While you're writing your answers, here's some of the lyrics for My Girl's Pussy. There's one pet... I can't write my answer now go on there's one pet i like
Starting point is 00:42:47 to pet and every evening we get set i stroke it every chance i get it's my girl's pussy seldom plays and never purrs and i love the thoughts it stirs but i don't mind because it's hers my girl's pussy often it goes out at night returns at break of dawn no matter what the weather's like it's always nice and warm it's never dirty always clean it's giving thrills never mean but it's the best i've ever seen it's my girl's pussy it's uh yeah it got banned on the bbc apparently banned really in the 30s they were like oh that's a bit yeah i mean it's you just like one there's so many old songs that are just very thin innuendos i don't think that was a thin innuendo as much as it was an explicit description thin innuendo about stroking your missus badge.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Just a thin innuendo about how much I love... Oh, I mean... Just grabbing hold of that tight moot. Grabbing hold of... Classic big wetline there. But it's nicely fiddly veiled, quite romantic. No, you know, I just... It wasn't until that I read that it was banned. I'm like like how come
Starting point is 00:44:05 oh some people took it that way interesting all right the answer in for question number six is a way of keeping their bees happy what did western europeans do in the 18th and 19th centuries they built their beehives so they resembled miniature versions of their homesteads they watered the flowers with a water slash whiskey concoction that was believed to relax the bees and encourage more vomit from them, resulting in almost 40% more honey. They brought the beehives inside for Sunday lunches
Starting point is 00:44:36 and left the best piece of the roast for the bees to eat. They defecated in the soil surrounding the hives to make the flowers more flavorful for the bees. Oh my god. They would notify the bees about any major events in their lives, including birth deaths and marriages or they showed them pornos honestly strong round everybody whatever love oh oh that was magic what's crazy is one of them is true. One of those things is true. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Yeah. Quickly go through them again. I think we might be back to you, Mish. So they build their beehives so they look like their houses. Gave them a water whiskey concoction, which produced 40% more honey. They brought them in for Sunday lunches, giving them the best piece of the roast. Whoever wrote that. Defecated in the soil,
Starting point is 00:45:47 leading to more flavourful flowers. They notified the bees of any major events in their lives, or they showed them pornos. Oh, my God. All of those things would relax me and make me happy. A bit of whiskey and taking a big shit and watching porn. Sunday roast. Sunday roast. Sunday roast.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Oh, yum, yum. I'll go with poo flowers. Okay. That seems like something fucked up that a farmer would do. I'll take the whiskey bees. Whiskey bees. Whiskey bees. Whiskey bees-ness, if you know what I mean.
Starting point is 00:46:25 He went at it again. That is comedy. Oh, God. That is how you do comedy. And if you want 50 minutes of that good stuff, book tickets to my show. Jeez, I don't know. I was going to say the whiskey one.
Starting point is 00:46:40 I'm going to say the whiskey one. All right. The whiskey one. I don't know if it's true, but the others, they're all silly. They're all the whiskey one. Lock in the whiskey one. All right. The whiskey one. I don't know if it's true, but the others are all silly. They're all the whiskey one. Lock in the whiskey one, Eddie. That's Matt.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Yeah, I know. It's a joke about who wants to be a millionaire. I'm not familiar with it. Free to air TV really is dead, isn't it, everyone? Okay, here's the answers. They showed them pornos. That was great. No way.
Starting point is 00:47:11 I wish I'd written the beef one. Yeah, I really thought Sunday Roast was you. They built their beehive so they resembled miniature versions of their homestead. That was the house, as was the Sunday Roast one. Wow. High praise from you there,reg um defecating the soil surrounding the hives uh mish went for that that was amy very good amy and greg went for the whiskey water concocted mish no oh damn it meaning the dates the correct answer was they would notify
Starting point is 00:47:42 the bees about any major events in their lives. What? Including births, deaths, and marriages. I thought that was you. I was like, that's surely Amy. That's so stupid. It has to be a joke. It must be Amy. That really dumb answer. I reckon that's that stupid blonde broad down the air.
Starting point is 00:47:57 I got my nickname. Stupid dumb bitch. That's so stupid. That is so stupid. Yeah, That's so stupid. That is so stupid. Yeah. That is so stupid. Yeah. What century did you say this was?
Starting point is 00:48:13 18th and 19th. But apparently they did it for the queen after the queen died. The beekeeper for the queen went to two different- I thought you meant the literal queen of England. Yeah, that's what I mean. Wait, what? The literal queen of England. I thought you meant the literal Queen of England.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Yeah, that's what I mean. The literal Queen of England. The beekeeper for her last year or whenever it was, the year before, went around and knocked on the thing saying, just letting you know, bees, your master's dead, but the new master's going to be good too, so look after him, please. That's fully insane. Isn't it? It is?
Starting point is 00:48:39 Wow. That's interesting. I love the common mouth. Poor nose is like that level of insane Do you know what I mean Like showing them Erotic Fiction
Starting point is 00:48:49 And Announcing deaths I think it almost makes More sense Pornos makes more sense It does Every single one of those Makes more sense
Starting point is 00:48:58 Yeah Than the Like the important events Yeah It's your brother's birthday Wow So strange And here's some BDSM It's your brother's birthday. So strange. And here's some BDSM.
Starting point is 00:49:11 So on to the final round. Scores have tightened up a little bit with one round to go. Greg and Amy on three points, but out in front on six points, it's Mission the House. But the final round is worth triple points for you three, so it's still truly anyone's game. This is your longest answer, Greg. This is a movie synopsis round. So normally you write three or four sentences about. This one comes from Ben Bruflat from Cumberland Gap in Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:49:36 And if Mish or any of you know the answer, don't give it away until later, otherwise, you know. This is a pretty new movie. It's from 2023. What is the synopsis of the film spaghetti while your answers are being written here's some more info about the tradition which is called telling the bees according to jstor.org this practice of telling the bees may have its origins in celtic mythology where the presence of a bee after death signified the soul leaving the body
Starting point is 00:50:03 but the tradition appears to have been most prominent in the 18th and 19th centuries in Western Europe and also the United States. The ritual involves notifying honeybees of major events in the beekeeper's life, such as death or marriage. While the tradition is varied from country to country, telling the bees always involved notifying the insects of a death in the family, so that the bees could share in the mourning. This generally entailed draping each hive with a black crepe or some other shred of black,
Starting point is 00:50:32 and it was required that the sad news be delivered to each hive individually, by knocking once and then verbally relaying the tale of sorrow. But like I was saying, the tradition is still around apparently. sorrow but like i was saying the tradition is still around apparently uh after queen elizabeth the second died the palace beekeeper john chapel uh traveled to two separate queen residences that had had beehives uh to let the bees know about the sad news um that their owner was now king charles all right the answer in four.

Starting point is 00:56:40 Like the high school students. That could be like a Netflix film that like, or Stan. It's like they saw the cinema version. They're like like what can we make on like eight thousand dollars yeah yep yes and it was it 2023 did you say 2023 yeah that that tracks because it sounds like something the menu had come out yeah and it's you know but also i've never heard of it yeah which tracks like if there'll always be some under the radar movie that's just kind of a copy of another movie yes and they always do it like so it's like italian so it's a foreign language technically they haven't fully ripped off the menu yeah yeah yeah yeah what are you thinking greg i also think that and i think that
Starting point is 00:57:22 mostly because it's the only one that has included the actors' names. And I think that... I do like the Flying Spaghetti Monster one, though. That's the one I think it is. I think that one has potential to be real as well. Is that the one that was like a black comedy? Yeah. That's why I'm going for it, because it didn't give the end.
Starting point is 00:57:44 It was almost like you were reading the back of a dvd yeah and the flying spaghetti monster is that that thing that people like invented that religion yeah so and i wouldn't be surprised if there was someone's like i'm like a movie about theater yeah exactly that's like it's a thing i'm still gonna say the the nebraska one though nebraska nebraska i'm gonna, I'll say Spaghetti Monster then. All right. Well, here's who wrote the answers. Again, this might shock you. Did Amy write the steady fucking one? Steady fucking Spaghetti for Life was actually written by Greg. I spelled Spaghetti for Life like number four and then L-Y.
Starting point is 00:58:23 All caps. That's nice. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alan Butcher, the aspiring chef. That was written by the question writer, Ben. Ben. Okay, the house.
Starting point is 00:58:35 He also wrote the spaghetti monster one. Oh, my gosh. So a point for the house there. Then the one about the 14 high school students in Nebraska. No. That was Mish. No, Mish, that was so good. Four in a row, Amy, you picked Mish.
Starting point is 00:58:55 You're obsessed with me. You've got to be a film writer. You've got to make some movies. I just love a big wet. Another big wet joint. Every just love a big wet I know, a big wet joint Every movie has a big wet joint The one Amy wrote was about George's grandma I tried to write lunch buffet
Starting point is 00:59:15 And I typoed on something You typoed and that's why I said Was that the Grammy one? Is that why you said your vision went blurry? That's why my vision went blurry Grammy pearl I didn't understand what that word was. Since then, I've been genuinely concerned that maybe you were having a mini stroke.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Sorry. I was only doing that. I tried to write it to you, but it didn't get to you in time of like, no, buffet. Oh, okay. What? Because it wrote lunch better. It said lunch better, but better was supposed to be. After the lunch better.
Starting point is 00:59:43 I'm not after the lunch. What? Sorry, guys. My vision went to stroke. It said lunch better But better was supposed to be After the lunch Sorry guys I was I think we have to call an ambulance To cover Just to say Amy's answer I will say yeah the commitment to a health episode Was amazing You pay a massive fine for like
Starting point is 01:00:01 Calling out an ambulance I didn't want to sell Amy's Question out your officer. Is that what you call them? Your officer. Your officer. That's what someone who's really stoned says to an officer. Oh, thank you, your officer.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Don't make me swim with the fishes, your officer. And then, so that means the correct answer. No one went, was. What, did I not read? Was there another one? I didn't read it neither correct answer was Tony giving the voodoo spell sure that was one of you yeah who plays Tony I have Tony is know who the fuck tony is is tony is tony involved with voodoo tony just go i don't know voodoo spell tony's played by donna glitch uh doesn't
Starting point is 01:00:52 have a photo on on um oh the poster is foul yes honestly guys add it to the list this day is getting better we got spaghetti we got how, we've got Howard the Duck, we've got The Fanatic. And it's only an hour and 20 with your life. Wow. In and out. Yeah. And if you play it on like 1.5 speed.
Starting point is 01:01:14 That's a lunch break. That's perfect. You can buy it on Apple TV. It's got some amazing, like it doesn't have enough, it doesn't have any critical reviews to give it a Rotten Tomatoes score. But there's so many user reviews on IMDb, and they're all pretty glowing, apart from one that says worst film ever.
Starting point is 01:01:31 But the rest are highly entertaining. How many reviews? A slow-burning psychological horror triumph. Well, yeah, this one here I'm reading, it's like it's a cinematic odyssey. Wow. It feels a bit like they've got their friends to sort of spam over it. I think user reviews might not be as trustworthy
Starting point is 01:01:49 as you think. In fairness, it's on Tubi, which we love, but also it has an Instagram page that has 9,000 followers. Okay. Maybe it just might be a cult classic. I'm going to look it up. What's it got to do with spaghetti again? I just remember Tony and the Voodoo and I can't remember.
Starting point is 01:02:06 I was hungry when they were writing. It does not mention spaghetti at all. See, that actually should have been a giveaway for us. That's on us for not picking that up. Yeah, I don't know. All right. Well, let me quickly figure out the final scores here. So two of you went for Mish there.
Starting point is 01:02:23 One went for me. One for the house so at the end of the game uh greg and amy still on three points equal third place the house on on seven points in second spot but out in front on 12 points it's me i beat the house your system's flawed matt and you beat zach's score of 10 yeah Yeah, which is what I'm here for.

Starting point is 01:04:32 Thanks for listening, everyone at home. Give us a five-star review. Why not? People have started doing that because I've been asking in a way that I think might be a bit sad and desperate, but that's made them feel bad. Whatever works. When Zach and I first started our podcast, we said you can criticize us, but we will not read your criticism
Starting point is 01:04:48 or address your criticism at all unless you attach it to a five-star review. So we got lots of five-star reviews, but they were like, we'd really appreciate it if you would kind of change this. This podcast sucks. But lots of five stars.
Starting point is 01:05:02 The algorithm doesn't know. Nope, they have no idea. Cheers to tuning everyone to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart now that you know it I've been Matt Stewart goodbye
Starting point is 01:05:09 sorry is it is it Instagram you said or just message me messenger me the answer somewhere you did oh send you the message, messenger me the answer somewhere. Oh, send you the message.
Starting point is 01:05:28 You DM me the answers. I thought there was a group chat. Oh, no, no group chat. Sorry. Okay, yes. Not that you're in. Yeah, we've got one. That's cool. How do you get into group chats?
Starting point is 01:05:37 Like, I've always wanted to be in one. Do you have to talk to someone? If it's going to happen for someone if it's gonna happen for you it'll just it'll happen yeah okay okay
Starting point is 01:05:47 you right for a water Greg I'm gonna get you a cup of water that'll actually be alright it'll be alright is that part of the
Starting point is 01:05:59 show that's all part of the show big wet is this still being recorded I mean there's just dead air
Starting point is 01:06:03 is this still being recorded yeah the lights on but hopefully it cuts but uh That's all part of the show. Big wet. Is this still being recorded? I mean, there's just dead air. Is this still being recorded? Yeah. The light's on. But hopefully it cuts. But, yeah, I mean, if you guys say anything real funny while I'm out, that'll probably make it. God, if only we could.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Yeah. How do we take him down? Let's destroy Matt Stewart. How does Big Wet take over this podcast for us? I reckon I could do it. The people love it. I think give him a demeaning nickname so that that asserts your power. He's like Little Dry Boy.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Little Dry Boy. I don't think anyone wants to listen to a show like, Hey, I'm Little Dry Boy. This is my podcast. The LDB in the house. Little Dry Boy. Oh, Little Dry Boy. He's too dry.
Starting point is 01:06:52 He's having a little sook. Oh, you've been Little Dry Boy. Little Dry Boy upset. I've already put my answer in. Yes. No, I can't do things at once. It's very hard on this podcast. You're going to be fine.
Starting point is 01:07:07 You're like improv queen. Thank you so much. The problem I have with this game, I mean, in these kinds of games, is you constantly have this battle going between how do I win? Like, I want to have a convincing answer, but also I can't not be on.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Oh. Like, I've got to do something funny here. It's the most beautiful, like, it's mind challenge. Yeah. Do I be funny or do I beat you? Yeah. Because to beat you, I would have to sacrifice humour. But if I want to be funny,
Starting point is 01:07:42 which I'm trying to be at the moment. That's the goal. That's the goal, I'm not going to win. I think the great thing is I ineffectively do both. I can't play the game and I miss being funny and it's kind of shit on both sides. I never listened to The Who. No, I know their songs that are like the big, probably I know like six songs or something. Yeah, they're like, wow.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Yeah, all the ones from the start of crime shows. Yeah. And the one about the pinball wizard. Oh, and the one that Limp Bizkit covered. Wait. Behind Blue Eyes, remember that? Is that a Who song? That's a Who song. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Really? No, that will forever be Fred Durst. He owns that shit now. What was that for? It was for a movie. Was it? Yeah, the film clip was based on a movie, and Halle Berry was in the film clip. Oh.
Starting point is 01:08:36 What was the movie? Monsters Ball? Catwoman? Catwoman? Maybe it was Catwoman. The Flintstones? X-Men? X-Men 2?
Starting point is 01:08:47 But when she took her to Swordfish? Swordfish? No, because I think it was... I've got to look this up. That was massive because she took her top off in that. And everyone talked about it. In Swordfish? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:00 That was John Travolta. Huge action. Right on the edge. Right on the edge. John Travolta was. And if you mean the edge John Travolta was And if you mean the edge of what I'm not going to expand on that But just watch Swordfish And then watch something he made three years after that
Starting point is 01:09:13 Oh that was his cliff Yeah that was the cliff Isn't it remarkable how Hollywood has forgiven John Travolta Like do you know what I mean They just kind of let him be a bit of a fuck. Did you? Oh, right. He's a bit of a fuck.
Starting point is 01:09:27 I didn't realise that. Not a bad fuck. He's a good fuck. Oh, yes, okay. I knew it was a bit of a... Just like an oddball sort of. Yeah, a bit of an oddball. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:34 He's deep Scientology, right? Deep, yeah. But he also never really... He's not like Tom Cruise. He's never publicly doing anything for it or appearing in it. Yeah. Or like spokespersoning for it or appearing in it or like spokesperson
Starting point is 01:09:46 for it and I reckon there's I remember watching one of those documentaries and I reckon there's something
Starting point is 01:09:51 going on with John Travolta like they know something about him or something so he's like in it but he's not
Starting point is 01:09:57 oh right but also they've got him you reckon they've yeah maybe they know stuff about him
Starting point is 01:10:03 because that's what they do the Scientologists but also sort of unrelated but related to Fred Durst and John Travolta there's a movie that was written and directed by Fred Durst starring John Travolta no there wasn't we watched it recently because wait did we watch it is it the one with is oh Fred Durst directed a movie? It's insane. It only came out like four or five years ago. Yeah, it's pretty recent. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:10:29 And John Travolta plays like this super fan. Oh, no. I think it's called... I don't know if it's called The Fan or like... Like a Limp Bizkit super fan. The Fanatic. The Fanatic. Yes.
Starting point is 01:10:40 It's insane. I have to watch this. You have to watch this goddamn movie. This is like right up my street. Yeah. I watched the movie that. You have to watch this goddamn movie. This is like right up my street. I watched a movie that he was signed on to direct, but he quit before they started. It was pretty bad.
Starting point is 01:10:54 Oh, my God. It's on Prime. I could watch it. It is. I promise you, this is a movie you watch with friends. Like, you've got to have some wine. You've got to be loose. Yeah, you've got to be loose. I can't believe this movie was made in 2019 because based on this poster
Starting point is 01:11:09 that is the most 1998 film I've ever seen in my life there's some questionable characterisation in this film for the listeners out there it says John Travolta in The Fanatic and the tagline is all he wanted was an autograph that's great I think that could be a future question on this show in The Fanatic and the tagline is all he wanted was an autograph.
Starting point is 01:11:25 That's great. I think that could be a future question on this show Greg, if you don't mind. Can we have that? Yeah, absolutely. That was great. I'm going to watch this. I've already screened it. I'm ready. It's really good. I kind of want to be there to watch you watch it. Yeah, we'll get a group together. We'll make it happen.
Starting point is 01:11:41 You can host, Greg. Okay, let's hire out a cinema. Hear me a cinema that would be a fun cinema i'll contact lido i know some people there they could do a viewing just for my friends leah thompson greg this little actor leah thompson, she's pretty famous. What's she in? Oh, I know that name. She was Marty McFly's mom in Back to the Future. Oh, yep, yep. Have you not seen How the Duck? Phenomenal film.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Wait, are you talking about me? Yeah. I was just talking about how I loved How the Duck. Oh, sorry, I was not listening at all. I was not listening. I literally, I'm so sorry, I was not listening at all. I was not listening. I literally, I'm so sorry. I went into my own world.
Starting point is 01:12:32 I felt like I was losing my mind for a second there. When I came out, all I heard was Matt describing the mum from Back to the Future. I'm like, oh, Greg hasn't seen Howard the Duck. I'm so sorry. I was not paying attention to anything happening. I apologise. Can you enjoy musical theatre? No.
Starting point is 01:12:50 You love, don't you? I love, yes. Yeah, you love. I tend to love. Okay, that's nice. Not all, but I do appreciate and enjoy. You were a quick denial there, Greg. Yeah, but I don't. I do and I don't, right?
Starting point is 01:13:03 Because I love music. I love all kinds of music and I love musicals in theory. The thing that I don't love, right, is that you, like a musical, I would say 90% of musicals are like three really good songs and then 10 like, are you going to the shops? They're always doing that song. That was crazy in Annie. They're like, are you going to the shops?
Starting point is 01:13:31 Daddy Warbucks, are you going to the shops? I feel like there's so much filler in musicals. Not in Annie. Not in Annie. Every one of those is a banger. I haven't seen Annie. I don't think there's a dud in Annie. If you are going to see Annie, watch the original movie Annie, Carol Burnett slaps.
Starting point is 01:13:50 She's so funny. I watched that a few months ago. I loved it as a kid. Same, same. And I watched it a few months ago and I never realised how funny she is. She's so funny. She dominates. Yeah, she should really look into comedy.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Tim Curry's very funny as well. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Tim Curry's in it. I love Tim Curry. He's like one of my celebrity crush moments. I'm obsessed with Tim Curry. I don't know if I like any other musicals, though, but maybe I haven't seen that many.
Starting point is 01:14:16 Have you seen Rocky Horror Picture Show with Tim Curry? Watch the Tim Curry ones. Yeah, I don't think I've seen one. I've seen the musicals that I've been to the theatre to see. Les Mis, The Boy From Oz and Book of Mormon. Love Book of Mormon. Love Boy From Oz. Les Mis, I love like the two songs that are good in it.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Yeah, I know what you mean. And that more than any felt like it was like, oh man, those two songs are real good. Yeah. The rest of it's just like, oh, come on. Going to the shops. Yeah, it's going to the shops. And that one's all in French. Is that all French? No. No. Yeah. The rest of it's just like, oh, come on. Going to the shops. Yeah, it's going to the shops. And that one's all in French. Is that all French?
Starting point is 01:14:48 No. No. Okay. I've seen Annie. Thanks for doing this, Greg. It's been meaning to have you on for ages, but I realised that I couldn't figure out
Starting point is 01:15:00 how to get on to you. Oh, yeah. I think I nearly only use Facebook and stuff yeah yeah i got rid of facebook ages ago and i forgot that it's still like i think i miss out on lots of stuff because of not being on facebook i got hacked mid last year and by someone in portugal and they deleted my facebook like completely oh wow got rid of my messenger whatever but it was so freeing and then i realized at the end of the year that I'd missed so many birthday parties so I was like
Starting point is 01:15:29 well I'm gonna get it again now yeah I'm gonna miss on a wolf's 30th that's okay yeah I don't have it either and I don't I like to think that's why I don't get invited to things but I don't the only thing I use Facebook for now like for entertainment purposes that isn't like messenger for you know work shit is um i'm part of i live in and i'm part of the community page oh phenomenal really it's just people like community can people please put their bins away bins get taken on tuesday morning it is wednesday evening surely that's long enough you drive past them every day they're so good or like um did it did it blow up for australia though yeah yeah that was nuts and mostly it was just like people need to mind their business because
Starting point is 01:16:16 alistair was my neighbor right so tramley birch before he moved to fucking canada but we like underneath occasional posts where people would just be like losing it like races like whatever either him or I would just be like lol and it's just it's so funny it's the best thing ever I just sit there and
Starting point is 01:16:35 read like the most ridiculous shit my daughter lost her hat in the park it was there for all of 10 minutes we came back and it was gone someone has it please return it's so funny
Starting point is 01:16:46 Whoever's taking hats from parks Is not in a community What's going to happen here? Most soothing thing is The clickety clack of your nails Thank you I realise you didn't compliment me you just stated that was interesting no i assume that everyone loves these fucking talents i said soothing that's a
Starting point is 01:17:12 compliment it's for my asmr tiktok i've started a youtube channel that's purely asmr i haven't but if people want that let me know and you can give me money for it i wonder how the term pussy came about in relation to a vagina yeah i thought this was earlier than i thought it feels more modern i feel like i'm obviously completely wrong but to me pussy seems very 70s yeah i thought it was a newer thing greg yeah maybe just thinking about the etymology of the term um what if they invented it these guys yeah what if they invented do you think these guys well are we all in agreeance that these guys were definitely talking about vagina a hundred percent without a doubt it's not like they wrote a song about a cat and then people turned around and went,
Starting point is 01:18:07 you know, maybe, you know what I mean? There's no question. These guys loved Vagina. It's so weird listening to that kind of music too, knowing that in its day, that was like, that all seems quite like, oh, howdy pip. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:23 Toodle pip. Like that seems like quite like, oh, howdy pip. Yeah. Toodle pip. Like that seems like quite like, you know, in its day, that was like punk music or whatever. That was what kids were listening to. And adults were going, oh, this stuff is bad. Like that little. That was the like. The naughty music.
Starting point is 01:18:43 Yeah, the naughty music. Yeah, you're right. And the grandparents like, turn off that racket. Turn off that pussy song. Yeah. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause, causing the risk of heart disease to go up.
