welcome to who knew with matt stewart the show where the guests write the wrong answers.
I'm the titular Matt Stewart.
Our first guest today is the host of the SBS food show, Good Tucker at Serenjaya Mana.
Hello.
Thanks for having me.
Our second guest is host of the Triple J Lunch and touring his show, Black and White.
It's Dave Woodhead.
Hello.
Good afternoon.
Good evening.
Whenever you're listening.
I go straight to good afternoon. No, this is going out live. So that's right. This is going out live?head. Hello, good afternoon. Good evening, whenever you're listening. I go straight to good afternoon.
No, this is going out live, so that's right.
This is going out live? Oh, perfect. I work.
And when do we chuck on the G-Flip song?
In what minute do we
throw that on? Well, I think if it's
like your show, every half hour on the app.
Yeah, exactly. I'll just put it up
to my phone. Our third
guest is touring Australia currently with their
show, Oh The Horrors. It's Grace Jarvis. Hello. I always love when people try to find accolades for me. my phone our third guest is touring australia currently with their show oh the horrors it's
grace jarvis hello i always love when people try to find accolades for me to introduce me to stuff
i was doing these corporate gigs the last few nights and that mc is just like
she's killing it man like she's just she's killing it i don't have any kind of like actual
like no organization has decided she's killing it but I have
I was like well done man
you've done your best
it can get worse
I think the worst one is like man I've seen them all around town
oh I've had that before as well
she's gigging
she's on gigs
I've seen him
he's definitely around
I had the other night
They exist
Paul McDermott
They're certainly here this evening
Paul McDermott hosted our
Line up show the other night
And he introduced me
As I've just met him backstage
He had a pretty good handshake
Or something like that
I like that
I can't believe he said my name
Sometimes you only have a certain amount of information
Yeah that's right
He's a redhead.
Beard.
Tall-ish.
Look here, slowly taller than me.
Took the tram here.
Well, we're going to hear about that, I reckon.
He's been around show business for a long time.
He can turn.
He can stretch.
He knows how to stretch.
That's right.
So 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'll then read their answers as well as the real one
and I have to guess which one is correct.
And the first question this week comes from listener Bella from Sydney
and the question is, what is social loafing?
What is social loafing?
Well, they're writing their answer.
I'll explain how the scoring works.
So you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestants
and another point if you correctly guess the answer.
And by the way, I'm also playing as the house.
I put in two of my own fake answers for each question
and I get a point for each one of those that our guests choose.
So each of us can score up to three points per round, which seems fair,
but the probability actually favors me in the house.
And that's why we've given the guests triple points
in the final round to even things up.
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.
I have to say, the reason we're doing this record
is because we did a live podcast and
the audio was terrible and i've never cared about the points before in the studio but on the night
everyone was real deflated yeah i was like i guess we should have been trying harder that was not a
crowd that was on board with the house no big booze i think that's anti-house i think you know
what that's probably why that file was so shitty corrupted
yeah
the conspiracy theory
the audience
just poured their
dreams onto the
soundboard
going no one
will hear this
anyway
question one
answers are in
we're so good
at podcasting
what is social loafing
when two consenting
adults lie on top
of each other
in a public
square sorry in a public square.
Sorry, in a public space like a beach or park.
Yeah, sorry.
I do need glasses.
A TikTok trend inspired by a comfortable style of men's shoe
where people bake bread in a town square.
That's where I was getting the square from.
Social gatherings without any goals, plans or commitments.
When someone puts in less...
Sounds like loitering to me.
When someone puts in less effort when they're judged as part of a group.
A San Franciscan subculture of baking sourdough bread with friends
or rolling down a big hill but in a group of friends.
It's a lot of...
It's very friendly, this one for sure.
So you got
lying on top
of each other
in a public space
TikTok trend
inspired by
comfortable men's shoes
baking in a town square
social gathering
without any goals
when you put in less effort
when you're being judged
as part of a group
San Franciscan
baking with friends
or rolling down
a big hill with friends
I would say rolling down a big hill with friends I would say
rolling down a big hill with friends yeah I feel like that is the correct answer because
it's got to be interesting enough that they've picked it and I the San Francisco baking with
friends just seems too too plain Jane yeah that's not an activity yeah that's like a you know
anyone could do that
That doesn't need a name
Yeah
I can also imagine that like
You know it's a story of
Back in
You know the day
There was a little boy
Who would throw bread
Down the hill
And they'd all just go
Oh
Billy
Billy don't do that
But then everyone
Started joining him
And then
And so now
And then
I don't know
They ran out of bread
so then they all had to roll down the hill together like maybe it's like a little story
it's a race to get to the bread yeah yeah yeah something like that i imagine it's something
kind of like the cheese rolling yeah yes yeah you locking that in as well yeah i think so yeah
why not what about you grace i'm going with social gathering with no goals, I reckon.
The loitering one.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, here's who wrote the answers.
Two consenting adults lying on top of each other.
That was Dave Woodhead.
That was me.
What is that meant to say in a public R?
Public area.
Area.
It's just one letter off, but I could not make sense of it.
Sorry.
You know what?
My bad.
I also, when I was reading it
and tell me if it would be more believable
if it was like, I was going to put at the end
like a popular
Norwegian.
It's a Norwegian thing.
If you make it sound Scandinavian, anyone will believe it.
Yeah, because I could imagine
like the two rules
like you have to be adults
and you can lie on each other but like i
imagine it's like someone can just lie on top of you like face face down or something yeah i this
is unironically a thing i enjoy the only like the only like because i'm autistic we're really bad at
regulating our own nervous systems and that's what like weighted blankets are for and i'm only ever
jealous of my friends and relationships when i want someone to lie on top of me with their full weight.
The human weighted blanket.
Just re-regulate my heart rate.
There should be a service for that.
I think there is.
There's professional huggers.
Oh, that's true, actually.
TikTok, hit me up.
You're going to waste all your money on professional huggers.
That's Grace.
She doesn't start drinking or doing drugs.
She's like, oh, God.
Grace, what are you doing?
You can't blow three grand on hugs, dude.
Grace is in a lot of trouble.
A very specific kind of trouble.
You're like strung out.
You're like, come on, man.
I'm the most relaxed I've ever been.
It's all these fucking hugs, Grace.
You wasted it away with these fucking hugs.
The TikTok trend inspired by comfortable men's shoes.
That was Saran.
San Franciscan subculture.
That was The House.
The House also wrote social gatherings without any goals, plans, or commitments.
That was Bella in particular.
Rolling down a big hill in a group of friends.
That was Grace.
Oh, well done, Grace.
Meaning the correct answer was when someone puts in less effort
when they're judged as part of a group.
You know, like a uni group project or something like that.
You sort of just get to hide in the group.
Apparently, your social loafing is what you're up to.
Do a true crime podcast on what happens to all the people in a group chat when you try social loafing is what you're up to. Do a true crime podcast
on what happens
to all the people
in a group chat
when you try and do
a group project at uni.
It's like,
oh,
I've dropped out.
Oh,
my dad's dead.
Oh,
I've lost my computer
and my shoes.
I was like,
oh,
well,
I guess I'm doing
the whole thing.
Yeah.
Yeah,
didn't your dad die
last semester?
Yeah,
it's funny how he keeps
doing that.
I have two dads,
actually,
and you're being
very homophobic about their deaths uh all right question two comes from kelly clark from malgamong
gut mailings on wadjuk noongar country and the question is name a species of spider
name a species of spider while you're writing your answers here's more info on social
loafing maggie wool writing for better up says whether you're accomplishing something at work
or at home you likely know that work gets done faster when you collaborate with others but you
may have but you may have had negative experiences with team collaboration in the past if you've ever
felt like you were putting in more than your fair share of work to pick up the slack have i ever well then you've already encountered
social loafing bella writes this level of effort is lower compared to when the same person is
working alone or judged into individually when working alone many people tend to put in more
effort but when there's teamwork involved some people will slack off well that explains why improv's so hard to watch yeah that makes sense man when i see none of us tagged onto that
bit though we're like yeah true that this guy's fucking blowing
yeah not a bit just a genuine criticism of the art form of improv.
Get it together, man.
Yeah.
I mean, you know what?
And we're not talking about live sketch.
That's a different thing.
I respect that because you're writing it.
You've thought of something.
You've thought of something.
And you know what?
You have a place you're going with it.
Yep.
It's not always great.
Man.
But you have had a goal. You wrote it. You know what? You had a Google Doc. You had a Google Doc. going with it yep it's not always great man but you have had a goal
you wrote it you had you know what you had a google doc you had a google doc and that's all
it takes you at least had a dot point yeah a little combo 100 you didn't just you did like
the thing where you know when you're playing as kids and it's like okay you're gonna do this
now and then you do this and i'm the mom and then you're the dog and then we're going on a walk. And okay. And now go. Instead, like, you know, it's just, I'm sitting in a room as an adult paying my hard-earned
money to watch a bunch of fucking other adults playing Space Jump on my Friday night.
What am I doing?
I didn't even like watching Space Jump when I was in a drama class where we were playing
Space Jump.
Oh my God.
Exactly.
How many exciting scenes can I see when someone's on the ground
and the other one comes, grabs the lace and goes,
oh, a wheelbarrow.
It's like, cool.
I guess we're waltzing now.
Yep.
The answers to the questions two are in.
Name a species of spider.
Blue bottle of the bush?
Golden bauble spider?
Halo weaver?
Detachable penis spider,
jaunty George, or the frog-eyed tree spider?
Blue bottle of the bush, golden bauble spider, halo weaver,
detachable penis spider, jaunty George, or the frog-eyed tree spider?
I think we're up to you, Sir Ed, first.
Okay.
You might have to read them one more time.
Blue bottle of the bush, golden b Bauble Spider, Halo Weaver,
Detachable Penis Spider, Jaunty George or the Frog Eye Tree Spider.
Okay.
I think that the most interesting option is the Detachable Penis Spider
because I feel like the rest of them almost sound too much like spiders
except for john t george uh it's to me it's either blue bottle of the bush
but a blue bottle wait a blue bottle is it here's the thing here's the thing i feel like i've heard
of the detachable penis but that's why it's it's it's it's something it feels back of the detachable penis spider. That's why it's... It's something...
It feels...
Back of the head.
I think every dude's read that once
and like that there is a spider like that
and it just stays there.
Do you think it means that the penis has a detachable...
The spider has a detachable penis?
You know what I think it is?
You know what I think it is?
And I'm...
This will...
I think it is a real spider.
This might just be an origin story I made up.
But I feel like-
Isn't there a whole thing-
I feel like it has something to do
because the female spiders
usually kill the dudes after mating.
So I think the detachable penis-
That's just the golden widow spiders.
I don't think it's all of them.
It's not all of them?
No.
Okay, well-
Praying mantises do it.
But maybe-
So it's a decoy, you think?
I'm kind of thinking that-
Black widow spider. Yeah, I'm kind of thinking that maybe this detachable penis spider
has evolved to go and go, oh, shit, I know they do that.
What I'm going to do, I'm still going to smash.
But last before, like, you know, right after Boston.
Oh, like an eject button.
Yeah, I can take the penis out and maybe it grows back.
Like a parachute.
Or you've got to remember where you've left it.
Yeah.
So you run a scurry off.
You've kind of got to throw your dick somewhere else.
It's detachable.
It doesn't make it clear in the name if it's reattachable.
Reattachable, yeah, it could be.
That makes it a lesbian spider.
You've got to remember where you left your detachable penis.
Yeah, I'm going to lock in detachable penis spider
because I think Dave has convinced me with his origin story.
Yeah, it would be so sick if this is Dave's fake one.
Grace, what did you go for?
I'm, you know, I'm thrown by this because yesterday
another comedian was explaining to me all of the villains
in the Batman series and it turns out I have no information on that at all.
It was all new to me.
Right.
And then I was like, I thought he got bitten by a bat
and then he laughed at me as though that was a crazy thought.
Yeah.
Because I was like, well, he's Batman.
Yeah.
And Spider-Man was bitten by a spider.
It would make sense.
Yeah.
Apparently, no, he's just like got real bad PTSD.
Yeah, yeah.
Which I relate.
I was there for this conversation.
It was infuriating.
From which side of it?
Well, as soon as she said,
so wait, he didn't get bitten by a bat,
I didn't think I had that energy of like
girls getting comic book characters wrong.
And I go, no.
Also, as it was happening,
I was enjoying the conversation and I was like genuinely absorbing new information that I didn't know
I didn't know.
But this woman comes past and sees a man explaining Batman villains to me
and locks eyes with me like, do you need to be rescued?
Oh, that's awesome.
What a legend.
And I was like, no, no, I'm good.
Anyway, I'm very confused by spiders and bats and whatnot.
But I reckon Jaunty George, just because entomologists seem like they'd be having...
Oh, arachnologists, rather, I suppose.
I think they seem like they're having fun with it.
Yeah, I admit it.
And at a certain point, you run out of Latin.
Yeah.
I mean, it's the foundation of Western society, but it's finite.
This one does have a Latin name.
This is the more common name sort of thing.
Oh, okay.
You know what I mean?
But that would be true for all of them.
Yeah, that's, yeah.
I'm going to go Detachable Penis.
Hell yeah.
Okay.
Locked in.
Locking that in.
Well, that makes me comfortable it's not David's answer.
That would have been the best play of all time.
I thought it was yours and I was like, he is keeping it cool, man.
No, no, no.
That was me spilling my heart out.
This is how much I believe that the Tashmore penis spider is real.
And if it, honestly, I have trust issues.
So if this is not, if it's the house,
I'm actually going to fucking, I'm walking off.
All right, here's who wrote the answers For question number two
You know we're great at improv
Blue bottle of the bush
That was Kelly
A.k.a. the house
Golden bauble spider
That was Seren
Halo weaver
Was Grace
The frog eye tree spider
Was Dave
Jaunty George
Grace went for that
That was the house
And that means
That Dave was entirely correct
with the whole backstory and everything.
Detachable penis spider.
The backstory as well?
Yeah, it was all right.
Oh, my God.
That's insane.
You know what?
I'm sorry to out-host you there, brother.
The whole story though?
Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
So they can reattach it?
Oh, apart from the reattach.
No, you can't reattach.
So you die. You get two. Oh, that's pretty much. Oh, so they can reattach it? Oh, apart from the reattach, no, you can't reattach.
So you die.
You get
two.
Oh,
that's pretty
good.
It's more than
bees.
Yeah,
that's right.
So,
and it's,
hey,
that's more than
me in high
school.
Um,
and now,
yeah,
fairly straight
man.
Yeah.
I'll,
I'll tell the
listeners in
greater detail.
I was gonna
make a joke
about like,
does he get,
cause he gets two times to spark.
No,
I think he has,
oh,
I think he has two.
Yeah.
So he can do it twice.
Yeah.
And that just increases chances.
Oh,
I thought you meant you got more,
that's more,
that's more dicks than you got in high school.
No,
no,
yeah.
I'm not shocked by that.
Oh,
yeah,
yeah.
No,
no.
So I was trying to,
you know what?
I was on the way with like the,
a root joke.
Yeah.
Not a dick joke. You fucked it. Classic mischievous. All right. You know what? And then probably the way with like a root joke, not a dick joke.
You fucked it.
Classic mischief.
All right.
You know what?
In improv, they would have fucking brushed past this.
That's why we're not.
Yeah, yeah.
No but.
Also, I thought just one quick thought.
We're going to fucking burn you on a stake for a slight error.
That was actually mine.
One quick thought of improv versus comics riffing.
Comics riffing is just angry improv.
Yes.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's it.
Can I ask a question about this detachable?
So it gets two.
The third, is that two and then the, like, two penises?
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
And so after the second detachable, that's-
They become eunuchs, and apparently sometimes they'll remove their own
and make themselves eunuchs.
Straight away.
But it actually...
We have those people in human society as well.
But I think that has the opposite.
I think for some reason in spiders,
when they take them off,
it seems like they get more aggressive.
And I think in humans it goes the other way.
But I'm not a scientist.
I read Bree through one article.
Honestly, if you cut off my genitals,
I think the two options would be be angry or accept my fate.
And so I guess the spiders have taken that as, yeah,
there's two options.
Those seem like the ones to have.
And I guess human eunuchs chop the balls as well,
which I think is where a lot of hormones and stuff are.
I don't think human eunuchs definitely don't chop the penis, right penis right yeah it's just the nads just i think which is where those
people who are like on i mean this is this is gonna be making scientists out there furious
for unqualified actually this is indicative of how much i talk to tom and demi uh in that i know
that there are reddit forums for people whose whose fetish is chopping their own dicks off
and then they do it and then they're quite upset
because they can't do it again,
which is kind of the large problem with that kind of fetish.
It's kind of a one and done.
Yeah, whereas if they were these spotters,
they'd get another crack at it.
Do they sometimes do it straight away rather than after root?
It sounds like it happens automatically while rooting
and apparently it keeps putting out jizz while it's attached
so they can get away because they will be eaten otherwise,
which is what Dave was saying.
It's like a decoy.
And the females are like five times bigger.
Oh, okay.
And do sometimes they cut it off
Even before mating
So they can stay in the quiet
You do continue to ask me
Like I understand
But yeah I assume so yeah
They're quiet spiders
You know actually
And I know why they rip them off
Oh yeah great
It's to kind of prove to the world
That he's different
Yeah
It's like come on baby
Yeah Oh you think I'm just like All these other detachable penis spiders No look I'll fucking rip them off right it's to kind of prove to the world that he's different. Yeah. It's like, come on, baby.
Yeah.
Oh, you think I'm just like all these other detachable penis spiders?
No.
Look, I'll fucking rip them off right now.
And he does it.
He's like, what am I going to fuck with?
Yeah.
You know?
This is making sense.
Yeah. So that means in round two,
Saran and Dave and the house will get one point.
So after two rounds, the scores are Dave and Saran on one point,
Grace and the house on two points.
Hell yeah.
Here's question number three.
This one comes from Jacoby D'Angel, I think.
I've said his name before.
It's D apostrophe Angel.
D'Angel.
D'Angel.
The next one was written by Jacoby Dangel from Sacramento, California.
Go Kings.
In season two of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo,
one of the many Scooby-Doo spin-off shows,
what monstrous character does Casimir Codwaller disguise himself as
to cover up his crimes?
You're all familiar with Scooby-Doo.
Every episode it's just like some old man,
but he's dressed up as a monster.
And it seems like a monster for the whole episode
and in the end he says,
I would have got away with it too.
Yes.
Yeah.
So this guy, Kazma Codwallock,
dressed up as some weird monster.
You've got to name the monster
and give us a little description of it.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
And while you're writing your answers i'll let the
audience know a bit more about detachable penis spiders according to gizmodo international the
male of the species has a dangerous natural imperative he has to mate with the female
who comparatively is a behemoth and she wants to eat him what's's a guy... I love how this is written. It's just very, very...
They're taking it.
They're making science very digestible.
What's a guy to do?
Use his detachable penis to keep her satisfied
while he scurries off, of course.
The male Nephilingus malabernensis
is equipped with two sets of genitals known as palps.
These are designed to break off and continue pumping sperm when the male is either eaten or otherwise bails.
Daquan Lee, a researcher at the University of Singapore, believes it aids in the spider's chances of procreation.
About 30% of sperm were transferred to the females before the palp breaks off,
and about 70% of sperm was still left in the broken palp, Lee told Live Science.
In our experiments, it took about 20 minutes to transfer about 85% of the sperm.
That's an impossibly long time to be riding something five times your size
with a hankering for your flesh.
It's like riding a zombie bull for half an hour.
I appreciate that she put it in a term
so I would understand.
All right.
That's all I do.
That's my weekend plans,
riding a zombie bull for an hour.
My whole thing.
I should say.
I know this, wouldn't I?
We've been friends a long time.
You know what I love to do on the weekend.
Man, I know it's Friday.
You get real relaxed with that professional hugger
and then straight to the zombie bull riding session.
I just want to quickly say that I have a lot of respect
for improvisers.
All right, well.
That makes one of us.
Kind of feels like you're throwing us under the bush now.
Shout out to Ben Russell.
The bush.
No, no, we've got improviser listeners
and I think they're all fantastic people and very talented.
Oh, it looks like the answers are in for question number three,
which is in season two of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo,
what monstrous character does Casimir Codwaller disguise himself as
to cover up his crimes?
Here are your options.
The heckler.
A play on Batman's The Joker,
only this guy would maniacally heckle
whatever you said to him.
This is great timing for me.
I've just learned about
Batman villains yesterday.
I thought it was you.
I thought you were like,
all right, I think that's
a shared universe, maybe.
Dreadoid, a robotic anthropomorphic tree that leaves a trail of sap.
Adolf Hitler's ghost, a psychotic narcissistic asshole.
Basically Hitler, only now in ghost form.
Chickenstein, a seven-foot tall humanoid chicken creature with red eyes,
sharp teeth, flat head and stitches on his body.
He would cluck like a chicken, but in a low-pitched, angry-sounding voice.
Wally Walnuts, an evil nutcracker who carries a big mallet.
Or the ghost of Fat Man Scoop,
a ghost of a largish man with a Dairy Queen loyalty card.
a ghost of a large-ish man with a Dairy Queen loyalty card.
I'm not super familiar with the Scooby-Doo TV shows.
I can't imagine they get super in-depth on corporations, right?
I don't know.
I haven't seen it in a long time. You said season two of a pop.
It seems like a spin-off, right?
It could be a more contemporary.
Yeah, I think it might be a more contemporary one.
Because I think they've been making it forever
and there's always a new series of it and stuff.
Would any of you mind if I say when?
No.
No.
Because.
Unless it's before 1942.
Pre-Hitler. And then my Hitler answer would be
It was in early 90s
Through the 90s
See, that's what I'm kind of leaning towards
I feel like it is like one of the ghosts
Because they love the ghosts
They love ghosts, yeah
Which also didn't really make any sense
How do you disguise yourself as a ghost?
Yeah, disguise yourself
Because they were so believably see-through
But they'd say
ah you caught me with my special light thing
yeah yeah yeah
exactly
you're kind of skipping over that
the writers of Scooby-Doo
yeah
I mean honestly
a lot of things
when this dog can talk
but barely
like why can the dog talk but barely
right or wrong
bit of fun
bit of fun so Bit of fun.
So, I guess-
The moral is just generally men are scary and they're good at disguises.
So, don't trust Father Christmas.
Yeah.
But it's like-
And then-
But also, I don't like how Fred just pretends to be such a good guy.
That's even more creepier.
You don't think Fred in the-
Oh, okay.
Fred, yeah.
Is he the-
Which one's he
The blonde one
He's got a cravat
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah
He's Freddie Prince Jr
Yes
Or as I said to Saran
When we were watching a movie
The other night
Freddie
Freddie Prince
Prussia
Yeah
I think I had a
It was a weird moment
Pretty close
I think it's the chicken
Frankenstein Chicken Chickenstein But yeah I liked that too But it's the chicken Frankenstein.
Chicken.
Chickenstein.
But yeah, I liked that too, but it's seven foot.
Can he, I guess if he can disguise himself as a ghost, he can.
Yeah, that seems more realistic to me to be able to paper mache
kind of like a parade float.
True.
Always like a big bird situation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe his eyes are coming out the chest.
But the one thing there, sharp teeth, chicken don't have teeth.
It's humanoid chicken.
Humanoid, you're right.
Good point.
What about you, Dave?
I'm kind of caught between the ghosts.
Caught between two ghosts.
So you've got Hitler and Fat Man Scoop.
Yeah, it'd feel wild.
I guess in the 90s, I guess you could see that're like kind of trying to throw an edgy joke in there.
And then like.
How,
yeah.
When did Fat Man Scoop die?
Like how.
I think he's still alive.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'm kind of thinking,
but it's like,
what's more,
what's more believable of like would.
I'm guessing it'd be like a guest appearance.
Yeah.
Fat Man Scoop voicing him or
something yeah yeah cross promo yeah like when coolio was on the nanny yeah hitler seems too
too far to have hit yeah and also like i feel like scooby-doo wouldn't do that like i think
that was and disney also because disney fucked around yeah disney had that whole Donald Duck Nazi cartoon. Pro or against?
You know what?
I have to, because I thought it was always pro growing.
I thought it was like, yeah, well, because he hated, you know,
Disney hated Jewish people.
And so he made this.
Disney did?
Yeah, Disney did.
Disney had a, it was pretty anti-Semitic.
It is.
That is wild.
Yeah.
How do you get past that as a children's cartoon company?
Man, you know, it's like...
A bunch of their early ones have blackface in them.
Yeah.
I guess it was pretty vogue at the time.
Yeah, I don't think it was...
I think everyone was pretty chill with it.
Yeah.
You always find now, if you look at any picture of Disney,
he's always kind of...
His fingers are always apart.
That's because he always had a cigarette
when they would take,
so they've had to like remove,
it's all Photoshopped out.
But later pretty much-
I thought he was just always playing scissors, paper, rock.
Yeah.
It was the only ride they-
Very predictable Walt.
He'd go scissors again.
Every time scissors.
That was just him before they,
like they opened Disneyland before the rides were ready.
So he'd just go around and go,
hi, kids.
The Haunted Mansion stage is actually,
we're a bit over budget.
The Ghost of Fat Man Scoop will be there soon.
That's Walt Disney's version of running out of material
and doing crowd work.
Like the rides aren't open, but let's do some.
Hey, kids.
That's Cradle. He does the thumb trick. Oh, look at's do some. Hey kids. He's like, oh yeah. Cat's cradle.
He does the thumb trick.
Oh, look at my thumb.
What else has been going on?
Yeah.
Something behind your ear.
But pretty much, I think actually the Donald Duck cartoon was,
he was like a Nazi in it,
but I think the whole cartoon is him having a dream going,
oh, I hated being a Nazi.
Let's support our troops.
I don't know.
But.
FB what?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's still, it's also kind of,
I think it's kind of like a bit of a,
maybe as a company they were like,
well, we obviously support our troops,
but then that was kind of what going.
Yeah.
But also that's,
it's kind of,
let's kind of,
I don't know.
How can we have both?
Exactly.
It's interesting though though if you are Disney
and you do at some point
decide like oh I should use my platform
for more I should
have a say in these political issues but the
only medium you can speak through is your
cartoon character
you're a Disney man
someone will take an interview
call up the times they would they would love to chat uh yeah i
look i think all all in all i don't think scooby-doo would do that i think um they play it
uh you know right they recognize that they're a cartoon we should be having a bit of fun
um so i reckon it's a fat man scoop cross promo all right that's a fat man scoop lock that in
for dave so that just leaves you, Saran.
I think it's the Chicken Stein.
Chicken Stein.
Could you read me the full description of Chicken Stein?
Seven foot tall humanoid chicken creature with red eyes, sharp teeth, flat head and stitches on his body.
He would cluck like a chicken, but in a low pitched, angry sounding voice.
Yeah, I think because I feel like they also had robotic things. They had ghosts a lot and they had robotic things.
Yeah.
So I'm going to go chickenoid.
This is my thoughts as well.
Chickenstein.
Paper mache.
All right.
Locking those in.
Here's who wrote the answer.
Wait.
Here's a...
Was it robot?
The chickenstein?
No.
No.
Humanoid.
Chicken creature.
So my logic doesn't...
But I'll still lock it in.
I don't know.
There was a robot.
The robot one was the robotic tree.
Anthropomorphic tree. Oh, no. I'll stay with chickenstein. All right. Here robot one was the robotic tree, anthropomorphic tree.
Oh, no.
I'll stay with chicken stone.
All right.
Here's the answers.
The heckler, that was the house.
Dryadoid, the anthropomorphic tree.
That was Grace.
Am I saying that anywhere near right?
Dryadoid.
Sorry.
It doesn't work if I go, and how do you pronounce it? It sort of gives the game away.
A dryad is a tree spirit.
It doesn't matter.
Sorry.
Feel free to help me out with some-
From a mythology heads out there.
Phonetic spellings in words that have three vowels in a row.
I actually also think probably the American spelling is much easier to pronounce,
like with a Y instead of the way I've done it.
Sorry.
We're just trying to flex.
I guess. Adolf Hitler's ghost. That was Jacoby, a.k of the way I've done it. Sorry. We're just trying to flex. I guess.
Adolf Hitler's ghost.
That was Jacoby, a.k.a. The House.
Yep.
Wally Walnuts.
That was Dave.
I liked it.
I like Wally Walnuts.
I imagine like a big, I was kind of going, maybe it was like a Chris, I could trick him
with a Christmas episode.
Yeah.
Thing.
I can imagine Scooby getting squashed flat and then re-becoming 3D again.
Yeah, maybe having to eat a Scooby snack for him to pop up.
Yeah.
Be a little spring or something.
The Ghost of Fat Man Scoop, which Dave went for.
That was Saran.
Meaning Chicken Stein was correct.
Hell yes.
So two points for Saran, one point for Grace.
That's what I'm saying.
Scooby-Doo villains, they make parade floats.
That's the area you've got to be looking at.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, question number four.
This one comes from Nick Dennis from Edders in Pennsylvania.
What well-known product did Robert Chesprer invent
and in what unusual way did he use it?
What well-known product did Robert Chesprer invent and in what unusual way did he use it? What well-known product did Robert Chesprer invent
and in what unusual way did he use it?
Does that make sense?
I think so.
And as an example, it would be like the refrigerator,
but he didn't use it to keep things cold.
He slept in it.
That's not a good example.
That's why I'm hosting.
According to Jacoby,
Chicken Stein appeared in Season 2, Episode 4 of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo
in an episode titled Chickenstein Lives.
He was a Frankenstein's monster with a foul twist.
The monster clucks and makes egg-based puns
and the identity of Chickenstein was revealed to be Kazma Codwaller
who was selling stolen merchandise out of his basement.
Chicken Stein appears in Scooby-Doo 2, Monsters Unleashed.
Oh, which is a...
I guess that's one of the real-life movies.
It's on display in the Cookville Criminology Museum.
Is that the one where Velma wears the sexy orange leather outfit?
Oh, you best believe it is.
Yeah.
Why not?
I don't think I've seen the movies.
Maybe like an hour, six minutes and 22 seconds into the film.
But apparently, originally,
Chicken Stein was going to be brought to life
with the other monsters,
but he was cut from the film at the last minute.
But images of a living Chicken Stein are still online
and in Jacoby's opinion, he looks pretty sick
and they should have left him in.
Yeah, he'd be better than the fairy floss monster.
Oh, should I at least watch these films?
The second one is, I've seen the first one a lot.
Mystery Island is the best.
Yeah, it's sick.
You know what's awesome?
The outcast song in it.
So good.
It's like great.
The outcast song in Scooby-Doo, Mr. Island is a banger.
And this isn't really a joke.
It's more of just a genuine pitch I have.
You should play it on the radio.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
Lunchtime Legend.
Anyone can call in.
043-975-7555.
I'll get it done.
Call in.
Text it.
But the United was originally written to be like an R rated comedy
yes
yeah
and then they were like
we gotta make this
for kids instead
so the vibes
are real weird
it's really weird
it's so good
but you know what
Isla Fish is there
they should do that
she's crazy
they should do that
for Skippy
R rated Skippy
R rated Skippy
he can talk now
he's got a rude attitude
Blinky Bill
Blinky Bill but Blinky Bill.
But like our version of Ted.
Yeah.
Oh, that'd be awesome.
Hey, while you're still rotting your ass, let's go for a quick break.
As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors.
Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause
causing the risk of heart disease to go up know your risks visit heartandstroke.ca
all right your answers are in so here's question number four What well-known product did Robert Chesavera invent
and in what unusual way did he use it?
He invented Vaseline and he ate a spoonful of it a day
as a health supplement.
Oh, no.
The coffee plunger.
It's like the carnivore people all over again
putting butter in their coffee and whatnot.
Coffee plunger, but he used it to separate cheese curds.
Viagra, and he believed that it promoted
proper blood flow from the heart uh the toilet brush but it was originally designed to scrub
your private areas uh the toaster he used it to dry his mittens or the first bulletproof vest
but it covered the full body and he died by suffocation when testing it out.
So you've got Vaseline, coffee plunger, Viagra,
toilet brush, toaster, bulletproof vest.
Yeah, I guess we always talk about how Ned Kelly got shot in the one part of him there was no armour.
If there was armour there,
maybe he would have suffocated to death.
He was going out regardless.
I was just going to say,
the Viagra one sounds very possible.
Because a lot of medical things are like a mistake
or it's like, oh, you find the use for it
by trying to do something else.
Yeah.
All these guys have been treated for heart –
and they're like, get some weird side effects here.
I thought there was like a study on Viagra
that it was to improve period pain in women
and then as soon as they discovered it was for erections,
there was no money for that anymore.
That sounds very plausible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I was about to also say the viagra thing
and because i knew i remember that but their viagra was that that was the case but then
what grace said there as well wait what did you say it was that they it was they were doing studies
on it was improving period pain um but then they kind of scrapped the studies when they learned that they could sell it to men who couldn't get hard.
You know what?
I'm going to say that those are kind of like the two.
I reckon that story is right.
And I reckon it's also this.
I reckon they were trying to make this wonder pill for like helping blood flow through better.
Yeah.
And maybe it was like um you know they i think they do
prescribe it off label for heart stuff too as well so i don't know but also it's not my area yeah
because i mean erectile dysfunction probably would have something to do with
heart blood flow yeah in my In my experience, anyway.
So, yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to look in the Viagra.
Viagra for Saran?
I reckon toilet brush.
Toilet brush? Just because everyone's going to go with Viagra.
And what about you, Dave?
I'm going to Viagra.
Viagra?
All right.
All right.
Here's the answers.
The ball-proof vest covering his full body that was nick in the house uh the toaster drying his mittens that was saran coffee plunger separating cheese curds was
grace uh invented the toilet brush to scrub your private areas that was grace went for that but it
was dave went to dave there saran and dave shouldn't was, Grace went for that, but it was Dave. Oh. Went to Dave there.
Saran and Dave went for Viagra, but that was the house.
Ooh.
Nick in particular wrote that one,
meaning the correct answer was the Vaseline.
He would have a spoonful of it at Dave.
I don't know why I doubted myself.
As soon as I heard it, I was like, yeah, there are still guys like that.
Yeah, yeah.
And I was like, oh, it can't be that,
even though I know people who do basically that thing right now.
He lived into his 90s and he believed it the whole way through
that it was this miracle substance he'd invented.
He's lubing up his insides.
He went around selling it sort of, you know,
as a miracle cure for cuts and burns.
He'd burn himself in front of a crowd and then put it on top,
saying it was a miracle cure, which it wasn't.
It just creates a layer.
It's like a, you know, similar to a Band-Aid,
but it basically stops infections getting in.
So it did save people's lives from not getting infections,
but it wasn't what he was.
It wasn't for eating.
Do you think he ate it?
Yeah, he's swallowing the Vaseline.
It's called petroleum jelly.
Yeah, that's right.
It's made of oil. So before meals, heallowing the Vaseline. It's called petroleum jelly. Yeah, that's right. It's made of oil.
Yeah.
So before meals, he'd swallow the Vaseline,
and then you don't have to chew, I guess.
Yeah, just swallow them.
Eats them like a snake would.
Yeah, wild.
So two points for the house, one point for Dave that round.
All right.
What are we up to here?
Question 5 from Wheat Whittington
From Surrey in the UK
What is the nickname of NBA basketball player
Jonathan Malangu Kaminga?
While you're writing your answers
Here's some quick info on the Vaseline guy
From Wiki
Chesbro lived to be 96 years old
And was such a believer in Vaseline
That he claimed to have eaten a spoonful of it every day.
He died at his house in New Jersey.
He also reportedly, during a serious bout of pleurisy in his mid-50s, had his nurse rub him from head to toe with Vaseline.
He soon recovered and credited his recovery to Vaseline.
Now, that's a fetish.
That's him being like, if I'm going to die die of pleurisy at least have a woman rub me with
oil yeah amazing amazing just to be like um oh could it could it what is pleurisy i don't know
it's like a lung thing i think you get scarring on your lungs right it's like pneumonia adjacent
i'm pretty sure he must have been having some other treatment then to recover from it you would hope and he's like
well that might have helped a bit but it was the vaseline that did the trick
but so if you invented vaseline you'd be pretty feeling pretty good yeah it's not yeah that's
and he's probably just a bit of a narcissist
invented and he's like yeah this is why i'm awesome it's like also it's like it's impressive but not too impressive yeah yeah all right here are your
options for question number five what is the nickname of nba basketball player jonathan
malungu kamanga coming cominga glenn coco the cum bucket don the john the don the boomtown Kaminga. Glen Coco. The Cum Bucket. John the Don.
The Boomtown Shakalaka.
The Giant or Biter.
Glen Coco.
The Cum Bucket.
John the Don.
The Boomtown Shakalaka.
The Giant or Biter.
Maybe she'll go first to your grace.
I reckon Boomtown Shakalaka.
That seems like the sort of basketball nickname people would end up with sort of adjacent to a chant yeah yeah i mean something you could put a foam finger in the
air about yeah yeah that's a powerful nickname yeah yeah because boom shakalaka that was like
i think commentators said like i think it's like an n NBA jam commentator yeah yeah and it would be
like when you
hit a dunk
but it might
be because of
this guy
he might be
like kind of
the guy that
inspired the
boom chakalaka
yeah
he got bitten
by a basketball
yeah
it was my
destiny
the ball
was officially
in my court
what do you think Dave oh I'm gonna It was my destiny. The ball was officially in my court.
What do you think, Dave?
I'm going to... Come Bucket does...
No, they wouldn't allow that.
The kids watch the games.
Yes.
Wouldn't allow it though.
It's a nickname.
This isn't like necessarily on his singlet or anything.
Yeah.
I guess if you, well, I guess who's calling,
is that other people on the court?
Yeah, is that his teammates giving him that nickname?
I think it's the fans, this one.
Oh, the fans.
Okay.
The cum bucket.
The fans have given you that nickname.
They don't like you that much.
It's a cruel thing to do to a person.
I guess it kind of makes sense if he's knocking down buckets.
And it's like, here's the cum bucket.
Is he the biter?
Yeah.
Maybe because he bit someone.
You know what?
I'm a fucking biter. Yeah. Lock? I'm going to lock him by the...
Yep.
Locked on him for Dave.
That just leaves you, Saran.
What was the third one again?
John the Don.
I think it's John the Don.
John the Don, okay.
Locked on him for Saran.
He's wrote the answers.
Jonathan Malangu Kaminga.
His nickname was Glencoker.
That was Dave.
Why does that ring a bell?
What does Glencoker... And you know what? I probably shouldn does that ring a bell What is It's
And you know what
I probably shouldn't
Put it in the answer
It's from Mean Girls
And then so I was
I don't know why
But I was just like
You know what
It was the first thing
I thought of like
Maybe it's like
He loved Mean Girls
Yeah
And then
They just started calling him
Glenn Coco
Cause yeah
I think that's
That's great fun
It's beautiful
The back story
Yeah Imagine that He's like He just kept playing He's great fun. It's beautiful, the backstory.
Yeah, imagine that,
he's like,
he just kept playing,
he's like,
you know what,
let's call the guy
playing Coco.
I think I will definitely
pick that he's a fan
of Mean Girls.
Well,
you know,
during the Watch the Throne
tour,
Kanye would watch
Mean Girls every night
after the show.
Yeah,
he was obsessed
with that movie
during that tour.
So that's the real throne.
That's,
exactly.
That's what, he was probably going like,
damn, this shit's so real.
This is life.
There can only be one.
I can't wait to find out if Saran has an equally interesting backstory
for the giant.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I got abused for taking too long.
And I picked the most generic sounding basketball.
Someone's got to be called the giant in the league.
I reckon there's probably a giant and then there's probably also a gentle giant as well.
Yeah.
John the Don, which Saran went for.
That was by Wheat.
The questioner ought to act out the house.
Oh, the house.
The house also wrote Boomtown Shackalacka.
Curses.
Dave went for Bida, which was Grace, meaning the correct answer is the cum bucket
that is
he doesn't
oh no
I'm sure everyone
listening to me
locked my answer
and I just had them
edging the whole time
because I was so
going to go with
cum bucket
yeah that
and it's a recent one
he's like a
he's still in his
early 20s
and the fans
named him that as he got oh that's brutal he's like a he's still in his early 20s and the fans named him that oh that's brutal
he's like the cat from kiss all his other teammates have got sick nicknames and he's like what
he's just sticking yeah he's got a small window i reckon to because he's in his early 20s he's
probably not like superstar what he needs to do is bite someone. Yeah, absolutely. The biter.
The biting cum bucket.
Oh, no.
All right, we're up to the second last question.
This comes from Colin Campbell from the Copper State,
which apparently is Arizona.
Sure.
And Colin's question is,
as reported by 5th century BC Greek historian Herodotus,
what was an interesting fact about desert sheep?
So this is going way back to the 5th century.
An interesting fact that Greek historian Herodotus noted down in his writings about desert sheep.
While you're writing those answers, here's a quick bit of info about the cum bucket.
According to the website Metro League, Jonathan Kaminga is a basketball player from the Democratic Republic of the Congo who is making waves in the NBA.
Kaminga was drafted by the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 draft and has already shown his potential as a versatile and talented player.
However, Kaminga's success on the court has been overshadowed by his controversial nickname, the Come Bucket.
This nickname, which was coined by Warriors fans, has generated some criticism and debate over whether it's appropriate or derogatory it's unclear how kaminga feels about
the nickname as he hasn't publicly commented on it while the nickname the cum bucket may be intended
as a harmless joke it has the potential to be seen as disrespectful and some have suggested
replacing it with the congolese crusher as a tribute to his congolese heritage and his aggressive playing
style yeah the thing with nicknames though is you really you can't it's just gonna go how it goes
you know you can't offer another option and be like what about this it's like well we've already
started doing this it's also it's a chant about it yeah it's a trizane effect as well yeah yeah
you can't be like i don't like the yes and that's why he hasn't commented on it he's like yeah stop talking about it good for him and honestly look i mean and on
the real it's like early 20s playing in the nba making heaps of money he probably is a cum bucket
yeah you know he probably goes off after the ames together like. Do you want to show why they call me that? You know, it's awesome.
I'm sure he's absolute.
I'm sure this tall, rich...
The benefits probably outweigh the negatives on that.
Yeah.
Look, I'd swap places with a dude
who's a famous basketball player.
All right, the answers are in for question number six.
As reported by 5th century BC Greek historian Herodotus,
what was an interesting fact about desert sheep?
Bathing in their blood was sought to increase fertility.
This was used not only for humans but also for other domesticated animals,
for example, smearing sheep's blood on the head of the cattle before mating season.
That would be very confusing for the cattle.
Why?
I don't know why this is making me horny, but it is.
They don't go bar, but instead they go ear.
Ear.
They were treated as family members,
dining with the rest of the household for dinners and important lunches.
They like lute music more
than suburban sheep.
Their tails would
grow so long and fat that the shepherds
would make little carts to carry them
so they could move around.
Little carts for their tails.
Or they had poop
shaped like clouds.
So you got their blood was thought to increase fertility.
They don't go bar.
They go air.
Sorry, bear.
The bee part of that's probably important.
They were treated as family members, eating inside with the families.
They liked lute music more than other sheep.
Tails would grow big and long and fat, so they had to have little carts for the families. They like lute music more than other sheep. Tails would grow big and long and fat
so they'd have little carts for the tails
or they'd have poop shaped like clouds.
It would be funny if they were all true.
I think none of those are true and all of them are.
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, man, these desert sheep.
They're a lot on.
Yeah, they've got a packed schedule.
Are they going to hang out with the family as well
yeah yeah
oh no it's Sunday lunch
because I think most sheep
go kind of like
like that's I think bar
is just an easier way of writing that down
but I think what they say they all kind of
sound like
they all sound awful sound like they all sound awful yeah
i like the tails um and i know a weird amount about docking sheep's tails because my parents
are from new zealand and my dad grew up in the country so there's got to be a reason they started
doing that yeah so i reckon i reckon it's the sheep tales sheep tales what was the they like loot
what'd you say loot music i was thinking about this one too i feel like hereditus could be the
kind of guy who just wandered out into the desert on his own with his loot and he was just strumming
away and then he looked around and they'd all sort of formed a gathering around him an ancient
greek snow white yeah and he's like normally the sheep hate it
if i was dude honestly i would fucking crush them they couldn't get enough of it no i think i think
especially like fifth century philosophy like that i reckon like they would be going on
that would be something they'd be trying to figure out still yeah what type of music does
you know um there were so many answers your questions yet
to be answered yeah why are they knocking these ones off let's just get the easy ones first and
then let's figure out why we're here yeah um yeah you know what and uh it hasn't been
hasn't gone real well anytime means we're gonna share an answer but
bloody hell i'm gonna do it again It hasn't been, it hasn't gone real well any time we've been sharing answers. Bloody hell,
I'm going to do it again.
I'm going to lock in the loop.
You're both going loop?
What was,
can you,
the tail one,
not the tail one,
not the loop one,
not the-
Poop shaped like clouds?
No.
All right, let's-
Treat it like family members?
I'll do the blood one.
Blood.
Oh, someone had to.
It almost feels cliche. Yeah. do the blood one. Blood. Oh, someone had to.
It almost feels cliche.
Yeah.
It was so long.
Yeah.
Points for detail.
This is where I wrote the answers.
Cloud-shaped poop.
That was Dave.
How your mind works.
It's... Well, because I was kind of...
And it's probably what's going to trip me up with this other one.
I was thinking because of just...
You know what?
I underestimated how smart a 5th century philosopher is.
I walked out and went, interesting.
That's what it looks like in the sky.
That's what it runs into.
I mean, we haven't changed that much.
You tell an American person that wombats make cube-shaped poop,
they lose their minds.
I know.
Oh, man, when I found that out, I lost my mind.
But I was disappointed to see it's not,
I mean, it's not as cubey as I thought it would be.
It's all long-ass, I suppose.
It's like, dude, you just saw a really good one one time.
I'm picturing like a perfect dot.
Even the wombat was like, I don't know how I did that.
He was just super constipated that day.
They don't go bar, Instead, they go bear.
That was Saran.
Hence the pronunciation issues.
Including the pronunciation of E like in sketch.
And I read it.
I'm like, a comedy sketch?
I don't know.
Do you want me to read that bit out?
I can think of a word that goes air.
That has the E in it.
That was the only word I could think of.
They were treated as family members,
dining with the rest of the household.
That was the house.
As was bathing in their blood Colin wrote that
For the house
High word count Colin
Point letter of the house
Dave
Grace has had you all game long
Because once again
You have got
I think you must have guessed
Most of Grace's answers
They like lute music
That was Grace
Of course it's the whimsical bullshit I must have guessed most of Grace's answers. They like lute music. That was Grace.
Of course, it's the whimsical bullshit.
Unfortunately, the whimsical shit.
I just think life is a little magic, especially back in the 50s. Me too, man.
Get involved.
So what is it then?
That means Grace was correct.
Tails would grow so long and fat that they had to have little carts carrying them behind them.
How inefficient was that?
One by one, getting the sheep around?
And the carts are the more whimsical option,
but I see why they now just cut them off.
Yeah.
You know what?
And I'm going to say this.
It's not really an observation you made about the sheep.
It's more about an observation because the sheep didn't control it.
Yeah, the sheep's like, we're fine with how our tails are, actually.
Yeah, if you just said, what did some bloke 100 years ago see on his walk around the farm?
Well, the farmer's created something.
Cute.
You have gone for Grace's answers quite a lot.
I'm a great writer.
I can paint a picture.
With one round to go, it's still truly anyone's game.
Dave's on two points. Soren's on three points. I can paint a picture. With one round to go, it's still truly anyone's game. Dave's on two points.
Soren's on three points.
Grace is on six points.
But out in front on seven points, it's the house.
So...
This anti-gambling lesson is being learned hard.
Yeah.
You three do get triple points in this final round
while the house does not.
So it's nine points up for grabs if you sweep this last round.
So still anyone can win.
And the final question comes from Ola McGrath from Dublin.
And the question is,
what is the plot of the 1996 movie My Uncle the Alien?
What is the plot of the 1996 movie My Uncle the Alien?
So this is going to be your longer answer,
you know, two, three, four sentences maybe,
short paragraph like that.
While you're writing those answers,
here's some more info about those fat-tailed desert sheep. According to Wiki, the majority of fat-tailed
sheep breeds have broad fat tails, where the fat is accumulated in baggy deposits in the hind parts
of a sheep on both sides of its tail, and on the first three to five vertebrae of the tail.
Early historians, including Herodotus, report that their tail sometimes was
so long that shepherds built miniature carts for them and that tail sometimes grew so large that
it dragged on the ground and hindered copulation. Fat-tailed sheep are well adapted to life in arid
landscapes, the fat providing a food reserve for combating harsh desert conditions. The earliest record of fat-tailed sheep is found
in ancient Uruk, 3000 BC, and Ur, sorry about the pronunciations there, I should have looked those
up, 2400 BC, on stone vessels and mosaics. In Sumer, fat-tailed sheep were kept in temples for
wool. Another early reference is found in the Bible, Exodus 29.22 and
Leviticus 3.9, where a sacrificial offering is described, which includes the tail fat of sheep.
Mesopotamian records provide a wealth of information about fat-tailed sheep,
and they produce the highest quality wool and were kept in large numbers. The city-state of Lagash around 2000 BCE had over 66,000 such sheep.
And the tail fat is an essential part of many cuisines still.
It emits a strong smell when cooked,
though the flavor is described as rich and full.
You ever eaten, with your history, your dad's industry,
ever eaten sheep's tail?
I have not.
I've eaten mutton.
Yeah?
That's just the whole sheep growing up?
The whole sheep, yeah.
Yeah.
Were you born here or were you born over there and you came over young?
No, I was born here.
You were born here.
I'm the first person in my family born in australia for like four generations right
it's no good you wish you were but you said you get the you still got the new zealand passport
yeah i got both but i over here everyone was like where are you from your accent's weird and i was
like i was born in townsville i don't know And then in New Zealand, they're like, this is our Australian cousin.
And I'm like, I'm one of you.
Never fitting in.
Apart from with your books.
Yeah.
Autism.
It's a hell of a drug.
All right.
Here's the final question.
What is the plot of the 1996 movie My Uncle the Alien?
A child's perspective of his uncle visiting the family home
for the first time and because of his
strange clothes and mannerisms, the child
begins to suspect his uncle is actually
an alien. It's a pretty
overt metaphor for homosexuality
though.
A documentary about one
family's struggle to hide their uncle
from ice
after his undocumented status is exposed.
This heartbreaking story is told through the stories used in order to help the youngest
understand why it's okay to lie in order to protect her uncle the alien.
When Jenny Jenkins' grandfather unexpectedly catches a cold, her father drags her out of
school and back to his hometown ranch.
There Jenny meets for the first time her uncle Borgus.
They hit it off.
Five stars.
They hit it off.
That sounds fun.
That one's the funnest of the first three.
It does sound fun.
It doesn't sound like a lot of dramatic tension, but it is fun.
I watched The Craft recently and I hadn't seen it before.
I watched The Craft and Jennifer's Body in one day
because I'm getting through the lesbian canon.
And I was like, you know, I know we have to have tension
and conflict and whatnot, but can't the girls just have fun?
Let them do their little spells.
Yeah.
I don't like this.
And also, the villain of both of those movies
is actually just the cruel nature
of institutionalised mental health care.
So, something to think about.
Here's option four.
Kelly is the daughter of the American president
who's shocked that a youth centre in LA
may have to close down.
In a compassionate outburst, she declares that her uncle across between santa claus and an alien might be able to help when she
is ridiculed by the media she runs away but is then kidnapped with her new friend zig and held
to ransom it is now up to kelly's uncle to save them both then you got direct to video sequel to et the extraterrestrial where
et is back this time with his armed and ready uncle to seek out the evil government scientists
that nearly killed his nephew it's up to a now grown elliot and gertie to help et convince his
uncle that revenge is not the answer and the only way to break the never-ending circle of violence is forgiveness.
Can they do this in time to prevent the impending massacre in Area 51?
I think that if there was a sequel to E.T.,
I'm a pretty regular consumer of stand-up comedy
and I reckon it would have been covered.
The final option.
A 10-year-old boy, Bobby,
dreams of leaving his small town life and going to space.
And after his parents die in a car accident,
Bobby is sent to his uncle, Craggle, who lives on Mars.
And he is an alien.
Craggle struggles to emotionally connect with Bobby
and must learn to love his human nephew.
So you've got the overt metaphor for homosexuality you've got the uh the alien is in
the uh immigration the uncle who's immigrated to america illegally uh you got the uh jenny jenkins
grandfather catches a cold gets dragged to a hometown ranch hits it off with uncle borges
you've got the daughter of the america as i'm reading through these i'm realizing that
these all sound ridiculous kelly the daughter of the american president uh the youth center is
going to close and says oh no i'll be able to help with my uncle who's a cross between santa
claus and an alien but then ends up on the run with zig uh the sequel to et or 10 year old bobby uh who ends
up meeting his uncle craggle on mars um okay anyone feeling any yeah i think that because
everyone yeah it sounds like a lot of those answers went alien alien like out of space alien
but americans do refer to immigrants as aliens so maybe yeah i reckon the the immigration
one i'm gonna the documentary yeah and it could you could kind of imagine like it was for kids
as well trying to teach that they could go well it's an alien yeah yeah yeah i was gonna say
because it's the last one i reckon the first one's grace because you just let slip that you've been
watching oh do you want to do this we can sometimes we do this where you can each guess who which I reckon the first one's Grace because you just let slip that you've been watching.
Oh, do you want to do this?
Sometimes we do this where you can each guess which if you want to for extra points,
you can guess what each other picked.
I reckon Grace wrote the homosexual one.
Yep.
What do you think, Surrender then?
Actually, let's everyone lock in
what they think the answer is first.
Well, I'll lock in the documentary.
Yeah, please. I think Ice as well. I, I'll lock in the documentary. Yeah, please.
I think Ice as well.
I'm going to lock in the doco as well.
All three.
All right.
And then who do you think, which one do you reckon Seren wrote?
So you got the white whale.
The first two are the ones. So you got the white Well The first two
Are the ones
So you got the
Jenny Jenkins grandfather
Unexpectedly catches a cold
Kelly's the daughter
Of the American president
Has the Santa Claus
Alien uncle
Sequel to E.T.
Or 10 year old Bobby
Meeting his uncle
Craggle
I think it might be
Sequel to E.T.
Sequel to E.T.
Okay
I reckon Dave did Jenny Jenkins.
Okay.
Jenny Jenkins.
I reckon Dave did Kragle.
Dave did Kragle.
Uncle Kragle.
And I agree with Dave that Grace wrote the first option.
Dave.
Okay.
My system here is blown out by this new developer.
There's smoke coming out of his laptop right now.
The tension is high.
So, Dave, you thought...
Grace.
Oh, yeah, I've got your two.
And Grace, what did you think Seren did?
Grace Oh yeah I've got your two
And Grace
What did you think
Seren did
Um
Are you
Did you say Dave did
Jenny Jenkins
Dave did Jenny Jenkins
Dave did Jenny Jenkins
And Seren
I also think
It's equal to E.T.
Yeah
You both think
Uh
Seren did
Alright
So here's
Who wrote the answers
So Soren thought Dave did
The one about Uncle Craggle
And Soren was correct
Then we have
The direct to
The direct to video sequel to E.T.
Which you both thought Soren did
That was actually The House. The question
writer Ola wrote that one.
Then we
had you both thought Grace
wrote the one about the overt
metaphor for homosexuality and you were both correct.
I do think it sounds like a plausible 80s
movie though. Yes. It does.
Have you heard of No Man's Street 2?
No.
Have you heard of it?
No.
Okay, so it's called Freddy's Revenge
and it is all about a young man struggling
with his coming terms with homosexuality.
A lot of horror movies are.
But this one's like, it's like, dude, can I sleep in your bed?
Dude. Okay. okay if you must and they're always just dudes hanging out with shirts off the whole time freddie literally comes out of
it it's wild and like the director was gay and and he just kept telling the main actor he goes
you're gonna be gay one day and the main actor was like come on man he was like he was so right it's like when people you like right-wing conservatives use anything from
the matrix as part of their fucking thing and the people who made the matrix are trans women being
like guys yeah you are in you can say that there's no incorrect way to interpret art all you want but
you are wrong it's not a documentary no now
you all thought it was a documentary but that was actually all i care the house
grace you thought dave did the one about jenny jenkins that was actually saran
oh uh you both thought thought surrendered the yeah i've already said that he thought he did
the et one but that was all Does that mean
All I've got to tell you
Is the correct answer
Which is
Kelly is the daughter
Of the American president
Who's shocked
That a youth centre
In Los Angeles
May have to close down
In a compassionate
Outburst
She declares that her uncle
Is a cross between
Santa Claus and an alien
And he might be able to help
The Santa Claus thing
Really threw me
It's so weird.
Look at the-
Real hat on the hat type situation.
How would you describe the movie poster?
Holy shit.
Homemade.
Yeah.
Also, the 90s were obsessed with making movies about the president's daughter.
I don't know.
Yeah, the White House.
Why was that the only movie they were making?
And The Alien, it doesn't have any features of really Santa or...
No.
It's a knockoff E.T. is what it is.
Yeah, it's very clearly like a cross between E.T. and The Alien from Star Wars.
It's like they just bought a regular E.T. kind of model
and just melted him a bit with a hairdryer.
Yeah.
They would have shown it to the studio and they're like
well why is it
why is it E.T. but fat
and they're like
Santa
I just said like
the alien from Star Wars
but they all were
yeah
you know the little
the little guy
I can't remember his name
oh Ewoks
uh
no the
the melty guy
Jabba the Hutt
no the little one
the one looks like E.T.
Yoda
Yoda he looks like Yoda.T. Yoda.
Yoda.
He looks like Yoda, I reckon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a bit of Yoda in that. It looks like Yoda without his ears.
Yeah, no ears.
And grey.
Like a Yoda.
A Yoda pug combo.
It's like Yoda if he smokes cigarettes.
Yoda if his mum smokes cigarettes.
So that means I believe that Dave and Serene got a point there for guessing
or got three points for guessing Grace's answer.
The house got three because you all guessed the house.
And also Serene got one for guessing the correct Dave one.
Jesus.
This is, I have made this more complicated than I needed to.
Oh, no.
And it's...
Anyway, we'll figure out the score in a second.
Before I do, all I said of this movie,
honestly submitted this question
because the film poster is a thing of beauty,
specifically one of the most aggressively 90s kids
superimposed in front of the White House
with an alien's head emerging above.
Rotten Tomatoes didn't have a critic score. I don't think it was a very widely viewed film. superimposed in front of the White House with an alien's head emerging above. Yep.
Rotten Tomatoes didn't have a critic score.
I don't think it was a very widely viewed film.
Audience gave it 33%. And I found a Letterboxd review from Seth Reviews,
which is half a star, writing,
the thrill of producing film-related content during a strike.
My Uncle the Alien not only has to be one of the worst
slash funniest posters of all time, but has to be one of the worst slash funniest
posters of all time but it's also one of the worst films i've ever watched words can't describe how
bad it is wow well he should watch argyle because i watched that the other day and i was like i
think i just spent 20 bucks on ai generated art oh really it was real bad man there you go man
you know what i watched uh i watched 30 minutes of the Five Nights at Freddy's movie on the plane.
Yeah?
It was good.
Okay, nice.
Josh Hutcherson's actually a good actor.
I think he was like-
Good for him, man.
I mean, the movie's stupid because it's like-
The game's stupid.
Yeah, he's like his son.
No, his little brother gets kidnapped when he was a kid,
and now he's grown up.
And it's one of those, you know, the tropes.
It's like Batman, he's afraid of kidnappers.
Pretty much.
It's like one of those tropes where it's like,
we've got an actor, but we can't make him a dad.
So we're going to make him the older brother
whose parents are dead.
So it's like, not only has this guy's brother been kidnapped,
now his parents are dead.
And now he's in charge of his fucking sixth grade,
the six-year-old.
Now he's going to go work in this fucking broken down pizza shop
and now these fucking bears are coming to life and trying to kill him.
What a nightmare scenario.
I think the whole thing in a horror movie is like,
that a lot of horror movies don't get well is,
oh, I don't care if this guy dies.
I'm sitting here going, man, this is, and I like Josh Hutchinson.
He can't catch a goddamn break
just separately
I've always liked
Josh Hutchinson
I think he's a very
calming presence in movies
like he's just
he just gets the job done
doesn't muck around
he doesn't put any
he just shows up
says lines
he's kind of handsome
yeah
you know
and he does that
to a T in his new
Five Nights at Freddy's film
what a great movie
I can't wait to finish it.
This made me want to watch it
more than the trailer did.
Oh man.
So the final scores.
These things tightened up
in fourth spot
on five points
is David Woodhead.
Dave, sorry.
No, that's all right.
I know you're very...
When you lose
you get your full legal name.
I just texted my manager
and saying we need to pull this episode. This is damn brain damaging. I know you're very... When you lose, you get your full legal name. I just texted my manager then saying,
we need to pull this episode.
This is damn brain damaging.
On six points in third position, it's Grace Jarvis.
Leaping in the second spot by guessing both Grace and Dave's answers
in the last round on nine points at Saran,
but just sneaking to victory on 10 points,
it's the Dastardly House.
Dastardly. We can't get this guy. it's the Dastardly House. Dastardly.
We can't get this guy.
That's the closest I've ever come.
I even gave you all the opportunity to get like 15 points in the last round
and it wasn't enough.
Thanks so much for joining us, everybody.
So this will be coming out this Monday.
We're all done in Adelaide by then, but whereabouts are you going to next, Grace?
You can follow me at Grace Jarvis Ono on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok.
I don't know, wherever you want.
I have to do clips now.
It's a nightmare.
And then I'm doing the whole run at the Melbourne Comedy Festival
with my show Oh! The Horrors.
And then I'm doing last year's show in Toowoomba at the Empire Theatre,
which is my hometown theatre, the first week of May.
And then second week of May I'm doing the Brisbane Comedy Festival
and the Sydney Comedy Festival
and then Edinburgh in August.
Awesome.
So get involved.
We definitely got a bunch of UK listeners
who love supporting shows over there.
I know.
I think a bunch of them came last year.
Oh, that's awesome.
Thank you for that.
Congratulations.
Yeah, and great.
I think I remember we talked about it.
If they're nice,
they're welcome to come up and say,
hey, I heard you're on the podcast.
Yes.
But if you're a weirdo, just do not do that.
Actually, you know that the wrong people will believe
they're in those categories.
Yeah, the weirdos never think they're the weirdos.
Yeah, that's right.
That is the problem.
And the ones who aren't the weirdos are like,
oh, I don't want to be weird.
Because they go, well, I love Grace Jarvis.
I will go up to her immediately after the show
and I
of course
I'm happy with
the weirdos
and the non weirdos
to come up with me
I can't tell the difference
Saran what about you?
well yeah
so we're done in Adelaide
we'll next be at the
Melbourne International
Comedy Festival
we're doing the whole month there
and then
we're also going to
Brisbane and Sydney
in early May.
Yes.
And find me at Seren Comedy on Instagram.
And it's not locked in, but you're hoping to be in Edinburgh as well?
Yeah, hopefully.
Hopefully I'll be there in August as well.
So, UK listeners, I look forward to meeting you weird and friendly.
You could be the filter.
If you could go to Grace's show You'd be the first line Of defence
And then I'll make a decision
You do the thumb thing
You're like
That's a no
You're like the bouncer
For my show
How about you Dave?
Yeah
I'm gonna also be in Melbourne
For Black and White
New show
Full run
And then I think right now
Only locked in
Sydney Comedy Festival
Which is I think in May.
And we're going to work some stuff out for Brizzy soon as well.
At Dave A. Woodhead on all platforms.
Get around it.
What's your middle name?
Is it Alan?
Adam.
Okay.
That was close.
I thought it sounded like you were saying, ah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just ah.
Dave and ah Woodhead.
Yeah, mum stuffed her toe in the middle of me. saying ah yeah yeah she's ah David ah would have yeah mum
stuffed her toe
in the middle
of Naomi
and it's just
cute how it all
flowed together
stick around
we talk so much
nonsense during
the recording of
the show that
the editor Connor
will put at the
end so stick
around if you
want to hear
about probably
mainly Dave
vaping and
Saran asking
for a water
but cheers for
tuning in to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart
now that you know it I've been Matt Stewart goodbye
No it's still
been it's been worked on
probably might come out down the track
so maybe we'll have to bleep out
that spoiler alert that we did a to bleep out that spoiler alert.
Oh, sorry.
That we did a podcast.
Oh, right.
No, that the house won.
The dastardly house.
The house always wins, I thought.
Yeah.
Well, that's what-
Historically.
Yeah.
Going into the show, that's what I was hoping,
but it's just not working out that way.
I mean, I once won $600 at the pokies.
Oh, sick.
How much did you lose?
Let's not get into it.
Hey, I'm trying to have a good time with the podcast.
No, this one's paying $50 a year, Matt.
Yeah.
Yeah, perfect.
Well, I'll win it all back.
You give me 20 minutes and a kid do attitude.
Yeah.
No, you got paid for the 50.
The 50 was for the podcast that will never be
we'll never see the light of day look as long as i'm getting 50 bucks
also the i keep getting like sports bet ads on my tiktok algorithm and it's so funny to watch
because there's such a specific kind of ad because they have to be like yeah gambling's fun with your mates and sports. And this is an activity we could do.
Hell yeah, man.
And I'm like, what?
I've heard the Whitlam's.
Go fuck yourself.
But then afterwards, they'll hit you with the, no, but seriously.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oi.
But check it.
But watch yourself.
But also, you could lose it all.
Yeah.
Keep in mind.
It's like going, man, you guys, after this, man, let's go out.
Let's get fucked up. All right, let's go out. Let's get fucked up.
Let's go get fucking drugs.
Let's go crazy.
But also we could all die in a car crash.
So watch yourself.
Check both times before you cross the road.
So also, but you know,
alcohol is a major leading cause of death in this country.
So should we drink tonight?
That's kind of what every gambling happens.
Beer ads are like that too. You mentioned it. Better odds to just go gambling i reckon you know what if you go out
night out and you go i'm gonna spend a hundred dollars and not out all right and you either go
i'm gonna go buy a hundred dollars of drinks i'm gonna go straight to the pokies and put that in
you you're gonna lose a hundred dollars yeah but with $100 of drinks, you're fucked up.
You lose your day.
Someone bumps into you.
Then you get into a fight.
So it's probably statistically more safe.
Yeah.
This is brought to you by the pro gambling lobby.
But then obviously the immediate downfall of this plan
is once you lose that $100, oh, man.
And you've got another $100 you can pull out.
That's exactly it.
And then you're stressed and now you're buying a drink
and now you've wasted.
It feels a bit like a false dichotomy,
like you've got two options.
You've got $100, you've got two options.
One is boozing it away and the other one's gambling it away.
There's no third option of just having the money,
putting it in your pocket.
I was strictly for this scenario of what the hypothesis is.
Yeah, the hypothesis is what's safer for a night out,
gambling or drinking?
Of course.
Gambling, you think?
Well, of course neither.
At least you're in one big room.
You know what?
Also, staying in and reading a book.
Buying $100 worth of novels.
Oh, I mean, yeah, if the world was made of fucking cotton candy,
that would also be awesome.
It's like when I say that I think parents should, like,
I think it's better, I recommend parents have depressed teenagers
because I was a depressed teenager.
We didn't go out, you know.
I just stayed in my room reading Sylvia Plath, terrifying them like you know i don't we didn't party i wasn't getting
pregnant you know ideally but neither is a good scenario but you know at least you knew where i
was that's it i was indoors yeah under the covers scared yeah hurting myself but i was indoors yeah no i'm not getting snatched that's for sure
but also opposite see i think um i think that's also a dangerous game as well because if you have
depression yeah yeah it's the most dangerous game it's hunting human beings and then having
depression in that order but if you have a depressed little teen who likes to have a little walk,
where are they?
That's me.
That was me entirely.
I'm the perfect kid.
I don't know what anyone's complaining about.
All right.
Yeah.
Well, what about the ones who like to loiter?
Yeah.
So I was less of a loiterer.
Yeah.
You've got to think about these loiter kids.
Loitering was big in Darwin.
Yeah, of course.
Did they have the classical music outside of the shopping centres and stuff like that? Is that supposed to perturb teens from loitering was big in Darwin. Yeah, of course. Did they have the classical music outside of the shopping centres
and stuff like that?
Is that supposed to perturb teens from loitering?
It scares the teens away.
That was more.
They had that in Catherine.
Oh, yeah.
But, yeah, not really at Cajerina Square.
They might have them now.
But, like, there was a specific period, I think, like 2006,
I think My Chemical Rom romance was out right and just
eyeliner was a foot oh man and all the kids from csc casuarina senior college they would all
finish their they were right next to the casuarina square so they just all smoke cigarettes in front
of the shops and have fights need a bus stop they all wear little emos yeah darwin baby Yeah. Darwin. Darwin, baby. Two fucking, they'd all be wearing long black pants.
It's so fucking hot.
It's so hot.
Them faces melting.
No wonder you're depressed, mate.
You're miserable, yeah.
Mate, chuck on some fucking footy shorts.
Those poor Kiss performers in this,
I imagine they've never performed in Darwin.
No, they have.
No, fucking hell.
That must be a nightmare.
Yeah, yeah.
It would have been awful,
like the 80s and shit
I'm so glad I don't
I don't have a
A look
That requires like
Any kind of paint
Or like a jacket
Oh suit wearing comedians
I feel so sorry
For the cat guy
In the kiss group
Cause he would have
They would have had the idea
Oh let's
Let's make face paint
And then
He didn't know
That they're gonna be doing that
For the next 50 years
Yeah
I wouldn't have picked the cat one
he's trying to go oh yeah i'm the dog
you're at home like practicing makeup you got like fucked up eyeshadow on and then
work is like can you come in for a shift you're like ah i was gonna have a okay yep i'm made up i'm like look like an avatar like there's the star child the demon
the spaceman and the cat
that is so funny here's the odd one out, Peter Criss. Yeah, he was fucking them.
They committed to that.
Yeah.
It's like the-
Backfire.
Maybe that's why I left the band.
The demon's got the big tongue, you know?
He's like-
Yeah.
Your classical traditional clown has like specific makeup.
And it's like, I think there's like a kind of inventory of clowns.
Like your makeup is like-
Oh, we've talked about that on this show before.
Yeah.
There's a museum, think in london and
they're all painted on eggs yeah and that's sort of like basically the copyright for the clown's
face you can't do anyone else's clown makeup because it's it's yours but the cat guy was
like i wasn't attached to this i didn't want this for my life please gotta get ben russell's right
of reply on a future episode to this i'll play him this little clip
yeah he'll probably say fair enough to be honest he's one of the he's he's cool you know he knows
what it is yeah then we'll get his right of reply to you announcing him the spokesperson for all bad
improv but also i mean look and i'll say this this. I guess comedians are losing their leg to stand on here
with the improv shit because, I mean, we've gone,
you know what the best shit is?
Crowd work.
Yeah.
Crowd work fucking sucks.
Man, and also I hate it because TikTok has terrified
every audience member.
They all think comedy is about being harassed now
because some guy can only
put up clips because he doesn't want to burn his material or he doesn't have
material of him doing crowd work and being like,
Hey,
where do you come from?
Were you fucking?
And I'm like,
now my audience thinks I'm going to fucking stab them personally.
They're sitting so far back.
They can't even see me anymore.
Yeah.
And they're like,
I know there's a little tripod somewhere.
Yeah, yeah.
As soon as you walk into a show, you see the $5 Kmart tripod.
It's over.
We've become big brother.
We really have.
Yeah.
We're all snitches.
I mean, I think it all.
We are, yeah.
Comedians are snitches.
We're snitches.
Oh, hell.
Can't let anything live in the room.
It's like, don't tell anyone I said this.
Meanwhile, like my phone's recording.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like it has done the past five recording. Yeah. Like it has done
that past five hours.
Yeah.
Five nights.
The,
yeah,
we're in Adelaide
for the fringe of the moment.
Last night,
Ferran was talking about his partner
and the guy goes,
is she white or brown?
And,
and then after the show,
he came up to Seren and he said,
I just thought you needed
to be doing more crowd work.
So I thought I'd get you going.
Yeah. He used to do comedy as well. so I thought I'd get you going. Yeah.
He used to do comedy as well.
So if anyone has instincts.
Oh, right.
So he knows.
Yeah.
Right.
Thanks for the tip.
Nothing I need more than someone pointing out my differences
from others while I'm on stage.
What I will say, though,
is I wish there was a little tripod set up because I fucking wrecked him.
You did. He was
he very quickly went no no
forget I said anything.
Like within 20 seconds he was like
forget I
that was really funny.
But for real though.
Okay the answer is she's white with a brown fetish.
The correct
response.
She's got brown fever.
Is that?
Yeah.
That sounds like gastro.
That's not the right.
That can't be right. Yeah, that's.
All right, so.
Also, before.
Is it cool?
And totally tell me if it's not.
If I hit my fate.
Hit it?
Oh, I mean.
Yeah. Is that right? Oh, I mean... Yeah.
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Sorry for this nicotine addiction as well.
Gambling.
Keep all this in.
Is this allowed to go in?
Connor's editing, so let him know if you want any vape references to be chopped.
That's probably fine.
Because it is like a heroin vape, isn't it?
This is the episode of the podcast that is a cautionary tale.
They should play it in schools.
I think I've said it on air.
That you're vaping?
That I vape.
I think it's the thing that brings you and Ben Russell together,
you know, crossing the divide.
You are two guys who aren't afraid to vape inside.
Dude, and see, that's the fucking Improv Hey guys guess what
The war is over
Me and Ben Russell
Ben Russell let me hit his vape in Melbourne
This year it's over dude
We can all be friends again
He looked me in the eyes and he said you're not so different
Men in comedy
Have one thing in common
It is disrespect for shared spaces
Is this too much to ask Men in comedy have one thing in common. It is disrespect for shared spaces.
Hey, is this too much to ask?
Grace, could you please pass me my water?
Yes. Oh, my God.
No, the other one.
Oh, the one that looks like it was found on the ground?
The Russian water?
Yeah.
I get more judgment than the Vagina.
He only drinks found water. Can we edit this bit out? than the i'm not comfortable with it the amount of water in a plastic it's it's like sort of an inch of water in a plastic bottle with no lid it looks like the amount of water i collected
like on a scout camp when we had to like get condensation of like
a piece of foil or
whatever. How do you do that? Our Airbnb has
no mugs. Okay.
We're making do with it.
There's a couple staying here.
You know what's actually wild about
society is that, yeah, I'm
going to get into it.
I don't give you a lot of time to do this on Triple J.
Yeah, man.
I just want to wrap with you for a minute.
Thank you for your platform so I can say this.
When I pulled my vape out and hit it,
I faced little backlash.
When Seren wanted a sip of water,
we roasted him for five minutes.
And you know what?
That's not where this whole fucking world is going.
I don't know.
And I'm sorry to be part of the problem.
And I'd also like to say,
my throat's a little dry.
Got a little hit?
Yeah, I think that's good water.
Is that all right?
I mean, Saran didn't like the look of it.
It's Nippy's water.
Saran is very anti-Adelaide right now.
I just assumed that was your water because I haven't drunk from it. I don't recall it. It's Nippy's water It's Nippy Serena's very anti-Adelaide right now I just assumed that was your water
Because I haven't drunk from it
I haven't
I don't recall it
It's loose
It's unclaimed water
It's good
It's good
You're our first two guests as well
So
If it's not one of ours
I'm confused
Yeah
Hey
In some ways water is the
The human addiction
Everybody is addicted to water No one's talking about it no you're
dude you're so fucking right i feel like it's like one of those like sport like those like
gym dudes who try and tell you that fruit is bad for you because it has sugar in it being like you
guys are addicted to water man you gotta live without you gotta learn to like in your animal
instincts you need to kick in and be dehydrated. I genuinely believe that you will start seeing that in like two years.
Oh, I think in like three months.
I might have already seen it.
They're maniacs.
Yeah, it's always something.
It's always something.
They're always promoting a diet that's like, this is the perfect diet.
And I'm like, you seem constipated because all you eat is cheese.
You're addicted to cutting stuff out.
I'm on the carnivore diet and you wouldn't believe how much my stress has gone down. I'm addicted to cutting stuff out. I'm on the carnivore diet
and you wouldn't believe how much my stress has gone down.
I'm like, how stressful?
You're yelling.
You're yelling.
We're used to getting that stressed out
by a little salad next to your steak
and fucking mashed potatoes, dude, or whatever.
You think lettuce is your problem?
It's because your wife left you.
That's what's stressing you out.
I'll be in Darwin.
In Darwin.
Sick, yeah.
The water there.
Beautiful.
Oh, delicious.
Delicious.
I thought you meant the seawater.
Yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
The water, like the drinking water.
Oh, yeah.
Seawater as well.
Yeah, straight from the tap, eh?
What about the Melbourne water?
Melbourne's all right.
I don't mind Melbourne water.
But Adelaide water, is that what got this going?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, just this...
It's a bit.
It's just a tinny, this rain.
Tinny.
I reckon it's soft.
Whereas I reckon Melbourne water is crisp.
And it's sort of like, I don't know,
it's almost like a very little bit of sliminess or something.
Do you know what I mean?
In the Melbourne water?
No, in the Adelaide water.
Yeah, there is a slime factor.
Just like a real subtle sort of, whereas Melbourne water is crisper.
But I guess that's just what you get used to.
Apparently, Adelaide water is the saltiest drinking water in the country.
Right.
I think they have a problem with salt because there's so little rain here.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No.
Sorry, Connor, for so much editing.
No, I think you can just chop those bits out in full.
But, I mean, I think there was some good water-based stuff there.
Bit of a good water riff, yeah.
Yeah.
A lot of good.
As soon as we, if those, whoever owns those copyrights,
I mean, they must be getting up there.
They're dead, certainly.
Blinky, whoever created Blinky Bill isn't still kicking.
No.
He was carrying a bindle around.
Yeah.
That guy's dead.
Yeah, damn dude.
Actually, I think it might have been written by a woman.
You know, they've got an original Blinky Bill puppet at the ABC.
Really?
Is it terrifying?
Fucking scary.
Yeah.
It's one of the scariest
hate to hear the words original puppet yeah yeah like especially like uh you know because if you
get the host when we do the host 100 you're there at night and it's on like it's on level three so
if you go out to the balcony and you come back in it's just like there and it's just like looking
at you i'd be even scared to see like big ted and jemima in the dark. Yeah. Humpty Dumpty. Holy shit.
Yeah.
I'd kick him in the head.
Yeah.
He's angry.
He had a big fall.
Okay.
You guys seen Bagpuss?
No.
No.
It's like a British show about a pink cat.
I don't really know the vibes of Bagpuss.
I never saw the show, but my uncle gave me a toy of Bagpuss.
Like of this, I had a soft toy of Bagpuss, butuss i never saw the show but my uncle gave me a toy of bagpuss like of this i had a soft toy of bagpuss but i'd never seen the show but i think british people know what i'm
talking about it's very classic and i was looking at him the other day and then i was looking at
the cat the moggy the cat from the um mentigliana from yeah for the ferals and then there's bagpuss
oh my gosh har Harrowing.
But I was just thinking about it.
It's like children's entertainment used to be about saying how fucked up can we make a cat?
Yeah.
Let's get a cat.
Let's fuck it up, man.
You remember old Tom?
Yes.
Old Tom is a fucked up cat.
They fucking abused old Tom, dude.
He had like a fucking, I mean, like a fishbone always hanging off of him.
Always a fishbone.
He was like a, yeah.
One of his eyes were gone.
Half of the shows on ABC3 when I was a kid were about what if a cat was fucked up?
Yeah.
Old Tom is like a junkie cat.
Honestly, the whole time I'm watching old Tom get into his adventures, I'm just like, just put him down.
Come on, man.
Old Tom's not getting back up as much as he used to, mate.
I'm stressed out.
I'm not enjoying this.
You're doing this more for you than you are for old Tom.
Old Tom has been hit by a car three times.
It's like when my parents moved over here from new zealand and they would go to
pubs and every pub band would play k-san by cold chisel and my mom would cry because she's like
this song is so sad and everyone's like dancing around like it's the most it's about ptsd it's
like oh we'll never feel home again and it's like everyone's like making out to it like jesus christ
that's what you know what? That's like the angels.
Am I ever going to see your face again?
The lyrics are gorgeous.
It's such a beautiful song.
And I thought it was about-
It's a beautiful song musically.
It's very nice.
I thought it was about also,
I thought it was about like, you know, a lost love.
I think though, and again, I might be making this up but i think
it's about his like sister who passed oh my god so and it's you know it's harry and i look into
the rain and you know what whatever the lyrics are none of them and then every time they play
it live just because it was the 80s and you played in pubs these fucking dudes who can't feel anything
instead went no way get fucked off yeah it's like no mate just sit with it austral who can't feel anything. Instead went, no way, get fucked, fuck off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like, no, mate, just sit with it.
Australians can't handle emotion on any level.
How about you go to the concert and you think of her?
Yeah.
And you just, and you cry, cry with him.
Poor fucking angels.
Yeah, the poor angels.
It's just a nickname.
It doesn't have to be.
Sorry. Come on, Saran. It doesn't have to be. Sorry.
Come on, Saran.
I was listening to the conversation.
You're just tapping away on the count.
I didn't write anything.
Oh, okay.
Nothing.
He has no nickname.
They say his full name every time.
I was trying to remember what his name was.
I just read everything. No. I i didn't know i couldn't think of
it we're learning serena's not good at this game i think he's the second most regular guest as well
he's on all the time people love having him here i think it makes listeners feel more comfortable
about how they're playing along he's a guesses, yeah. He's a soothing presence.
Oh, yeah.
I think, I know it's just a pronunciation.
Yeah, a pronunciation.
I see what you're saying.
Yeah.
Oh.
If you're going to guess, Grace, as to who's last to get their answer in,
who would you guess?
I would say Seren.
Oh, my gosh.
You're right.
He's running the screenplay.
He's doing dialogue.
Yeah.
I mean, I would say I don't think I'm going to win.
So I'll say my answer falls apart pretty quickly.
My movie just loses the plot.
My movie just loses the plot What else is happening?
Yeah what else
What else been going on?
How have your shows been going?

Connor, please leave that in.
All right, here's the final question.
What is the plot of the 19th...
Fucking hell.
Hey, while you're still writing your answer,
let's go for a quick break.
I can't control you guys.
