I'm the titular Matt Stewart and our first guest has recently released a hit podcast called The Remains.

It's Wade Duffin. Thanks, man. I didn't realize we're getting straight into it. I thought there's going to be more of a... No, no. No, no, no. Just straight in. Yeah, this is great. I don't feel awkward at all. Okay, great. Oh, that's fantastic. I feel very comfortable.

If you can keep me posted on that as we go along. What, the pod, do you want to tell us about it all? It is a horror fiction podcast, and it's about a woman who is conducting an autopsy, and then pretty soon things start to go wrong. So she finds out it's the wrong body, and then it all goes downhill from there. It's very short, six episodes, each episode under nine minutes.

You can binge it all in one sitting. And it's all out now. All out now. We're on wherever you get your podcasts. Spotify, Apple. Some of the cast, you've got Ben Russell, who we're assuming is asleep right now. Nikki Britton is the main. She kills it.

Greg Larson, Damien Killian, Andrew Impale. Awesome cast. Yeah, yeah. So good. Tiffany Demick. And are you in it? No. No, no, no, no, no.

It is fun to write stuff, but I am not about, like, the acting side of it. No way. Oh, great. Well, this show is, you know, it's more writing than acting, so that works out well.

We're in my element. Our second guest this week is from Netflix's Mako Mermaids. And channel 10's Thank God You're Here, it's Amy Ruffell. Hello. I know you like talking about those mermaids. It's been a lot of the conversation so far. Well, I like to bring it up, send people there,

because I assume you get paid per play on Netflix? Absolutely, yeah. And it's always the most interesting demographic that do still hit me up about that show. You'd think it would all be young girls, but it's really not. Oh, okay. What are we talking? The weirdest one, I got mail from a Texas penitentiary

to an address where I was living in Queensland that I was only there temporarily, not even like my brother knew the address. And I was like, how did this happen? How did you find that from the inside? Yeah, like a letter. Which I was kind of happy about. I was like, no one sends me mail.

This is awesome. And then I opened it and was like, okay. Wish this never happened. Going to think about this all night. All right. So the way the show works is ask a relatively obscure trivia question. 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. The first question comes from listener Caroline Clancy from Brisbane. The question is, what is the definition of the 1700s term titty nope? Titty nope. What's the definition? Back in the 1700s? Caroline. Caroline. Come on. What's the definition? Back in the 1700s? Come on. Come on.

Come on. You know what you're doing. Not the first time you've asked this question, Caroline, is it? What is the definition of tiddy nope? How do you spell tiddy nope? It's exactly as you'd think. T-I-double-T-Y-N-O-P-E. Well, I don't know.

Is that exactly how you would have done it? I was going to go T-I-T-I. Okay. It's not exactly how you'd think it's spelled. It's like this, is what I should have said. Don't tell me how I think it's spelled. I don't know why I did. I'm like...

So while they're writing their answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. You get a point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point if you correctly guessed the answer. By the way, I'm also playing as the house. I've put into my own fake answer for each question with the help of the question writers, and I get a point for each one of those that I guess choose.

So each of us can score up to two points per round, which seems fair, but the probability actually favors me, the house. And the house has been on a bit of a hot streak lately, I've got to tell you Wade so really I have listened to this podcast

before and I thought that bit was pre-recorded just to come in live yeah wow what an honour

to see yeah I mean I say it the same basically every time so it would make a lot of sense

to pre-record it but our questions come from our great patreon supporters if you want to submit a question sign up on any level by patreon.com slash do go on pod which is linked in the show notes all right the answer is for question number one what is the definition of titty nope the loss of all feathers on a bird due to a biological inconsistency from inbreeding when the lord of the manor would try to accost the servant girls,

they could be heard to scream, titty nope, until someone came to their rescue. A small quantity of something left over, especially bits of food or beverage. A baby who decides they've had enough to eat. Or a small English tit type of bird whose call can be heard in the early morning, a high-pitched nope sound.

In an English accent, it said. How do you say nope in an English accent? Nope. Nope. That's pretty good. Nope. Nope. Don't think so.

It's the full thing they say. So you've Loss of feathers Servant girls Trying not to be accosted Leftovers Baby who's had enough Or the bird who says Nope

Nope, not for me Not today No titty, no I'm gonna go leftovers Leftovers Straight in That's what I wanted to do too Not today. No, Titi, no. I'm going to go leftovers. Leftovers. Yeah. Straight in.

Straight in. That's what I wanted to do too. You can. We can't do the same one? No, you can. Of course you can. It's like we're sitting at the cafe. We can order the same meal. It's going to be okay.

I know, but it does feel disappointing. I think that's two types of people. It's very much like that. You're at a restaurant. I've ordered the gnocchi. Oh, I was going to have that. Well, just get the gnocchi. It's okay. Get the gnocchi. It's gonna have that we're not gonna eat off each other's plates it's all right it does feel like you're committing some sort of crime though that you should be like at least exploring the menu a little bit

more yeah and do you see these five options as like a menu absolutely yeah yeah i don't want to like leave anybody out we haven't even talked about the other four at all. Yeah, why don't you talk them through? No, I'm good. And do we have to try and guess who? No, you don't have to guess each other's. You can if you think it's fun. Yeah, I think we can do it.

I mean, seeing as Ben Russell is still asleep, you know, we've got time. We've got the time to kill. Can you imagine the kind of time he'd be chewing up with his nonsense right now? I carved out like three hours of my morning we're gonna be out in 90 uh do you want to lock in the same yeah absolutely okay great and i can't believe you ordered the same thing sorry do you want to have a guess which one i think you did the english accent english accent one why do you think that do you want to have a guess what which one wade wanted done um i can't i can't remember them

uh so you had let's go lord of the manor that was really fun it was written really well and you are famously a writer so yeah that was a bit too quick for my writing though i'm not gonna lie it's like biological in oh, no, that was... No, no, no. That was the... That was mine. Oh, that was yours. There's no way I could have written that out that fast.

I'd be like spell-checking that for days. No, I reckon you were lord of the manor. Oh, yeah. Saying, did you know? No, no, not at all. Okay. Well, here's who wrote the answer. Stop...

We'll need a spoiler alert when you two... Matt, you can actually... We'll handle this. You can leave. The loss of feathers due to a biological inconsistency. That was Amy. Thank you.

Then Wade did the one, a baby who decides they've had enough to eat. T, no. Teddy, no. Teddy, no. Have you heard that a few times? No, thank you.

No, thank you. No, thank you. I am full. I am stuffed. The one about the seven girls at the manor, that was Caroline, the question writer at Care of the House. Nice. And she also wrote the one about the small English bird. I said, nope.

So you both guessed Caroline's for each other, which is a high praise for Caroline's writing there. Kudos, Caroline. Yeah. But that means you were both correct. It is a small quantity of something left over. So a point each. Huge.

To kick us off. And do you know how that happened? Do you know the history behind the word? Do we have that? An homology? Thank you. A little bit of it. Apparently, tiddle meant tiny.

I don't know where the nope comes from. But, yeah, it's a pretty obscure word. There's not a lot of info out there. While you're writing your next answers, I'll tell the audience some example sentences they could use it in. Oh, that's fun. I think if we bring it back, I think we should. I'm sure there'll be no misunderstandings. it in which i think i think if we bring it back with like i think we should see this is where i'm

sure there'll be no misunderstandings we'll bring teddy nap teddy note back into the modern vernacular i've only because i want to listen to that i want to hear these words in a sentence and then we have to be yeah working and doing our answer it's so tough yeah yeah yeah he's a real task master yeah i apologize for that um but you just i guess you can always listen to the episode later uh all right here's question two this comes from jim bates from sackett's harbor in new york and the question is which one of these is a real species of frog so you basically just gotta make up a name for a species of frog you don't need to give it a description or anything just the name just a name yeah real global audience oh yeah yeah yeah jim bates is a prolific anything, just the name of the frog. Real global audience. Oh, yeah, yeah. Jim Bates is a prolific question writer for the show.

Yeah, I've heard Sackett's Harbour before, and I was like, wow, have you got a huge contingent out there? I think it's all Jim. All Jim. All Jim. Masturbates. Classic. That was a wanking joke. I think we all got it there.

Anyway, award-winning screenwriter. All right. So while you're coming up with a species of frog, I'll let the audience know a bit more about titty nope. Shan Williams from the website for reading addicts says, titty nope means a small quantity of something left over, specifically food and drink. Example sentences include, was dinner all all right you've left a titty note

or the amount of titty notes on plates at buffets is obscene i can't wait to say that to someone at dinner oh you've left a titty note. You've titty noted everywhere. You've titty noted everywhere. What? That's good stuff. Do you want to take your titty notes to work tomorrow? Yeah.

No, I don't need any at all. Thank you. Excellent. All right, the answer in for question number two. Which of these are real species of frog? Creole sweet feet? Green grog frog? Mini mum?

Bouncy Benjamin? Little burp? Oh, I love bouncy Benjamin. You can see him. He's such a cute little frog. He's a little devil. He's a little devil. He's a bit mysterious. Yeah, probably asleep right now.

He'll bounce out of bed when he sees all the miscalls. I think Wade went first. First time. Do you want to have a first crack here, Amy? Okay, so we had Bouncy Benjamin. Little Birb. Mini Mum. Green Grog Frog. Or Creole Sweetfeet.

Creole Sweetfeet. That is really fun. I like the mum, Mini Mum. Yeah, Mini Mum. Yeah. It feels like I wouldn't think to name a frog that. Therefore, it could be an answer. Yeah.

Does it have a mum-like quality, do you think? Like glasses, always make sure you've had a good meal. Yeah, yeah. Jacket at the door so you don't go outside without a coat. You're going to get cold out there. Yeah. I'm going to go bouncy Benjamin. Bouncy Benjamin. I'm going to do it.

Put it out there. All right. Here's where I write the answers. Little Burp was Amy. Green Grog Frog was Wade I actually went to write just Green Frog And I misspelled frog And so I just left it

Green Frog was your award winning writing It is actually number one on the Apple Fiction charts at the moment Please give it a listen The Grog part was the only thing that was like Oh that's interesting No no completely fucked it green frog usually it takes me a long time to write anything so i'm real under the pump here red frog red grog frog now we're getting closer the grog frog species prolific all the. All the rainbow colors. They're everywhere. Creole sweet feet.

That was the house in particular, Jim, from Sackett's Harbor. Bouncy Benjamin. That was the house. Meaning, you are correct again, Amy. It is mini mum. Wow. Mini mum frog. Mini mum frog. There's no grog frog, I tell you that.

I think they missed the trick there. They're dating, Mini Mum and Grog Frog. Yeah, he's no good. But no one can know about it. He's a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks. That is not a healthy relationship right there with the green Grog Frog. He is not going to treat you right. Get out of there, Mini Mum.

You're better than that. You deserve sweet Creole for sure. mum. You're better than that. You deserve sweet Creole for sure. All right. Question three comes from Susie Darrow from Sacramento, Sacramento,

Susie. Wow. A few Americans. Yeah. I love a bit of trivia over there. I love who knew it. Yeah. With Matt Stewart.

They do. I love it. How it rhymes. It's very good. Was that part of the, when you were like making the, creating the title of the podcast? Was it like the rhyming Matt Stewart who knew it?

The title, I think, came before the concept. Yeah. Now I've got to come up with a game. Cursed again by my name. So Susie's question is, why is General Sherman well-known? Why is General Sherman well-known? Why is General Sherman well-known? While you're writing your answers, let the audience know a bit more about Mini Mom. According to Jim... Why is that?

Is that the name of a sitcom? According to Jim, yeah. According to Jim, the frog is of the genus Mini. The scientific name of the species refers to its size and being a pun on the word minimum, which I didn't realize. I just thought it was way more fun when I thought it was just a small mum, mini mum. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It being a minimum pun is... It's not as fun.

Not as fun. Like a little tiny mum frog. A tiny mum frog is... Maybe it's got a little like, you know, like some kind of weird birthmark thing that goes on it there. Yes. I was trying to think of something that mums have that might be a birthmark and nothing came to mind. I've got two kids.

Maybe a shape of a mum. Yeah, there you go. You know, they have a shape. There's one shape. A mum shape. There's only one. Apparently there's other frogs in this mini genus, including mini skewl and mini achure.

This guy naming those frogs. Fucking get over it, mate. Come on, mate. Come on, buddy. Get to the green grove frog. Yeah, I think someone, hopefully people listening to this show have the power to name frogs

because I think if you find a green frog that is looking for a name what could be a red frog yeah are you open for grog frog being any color any color you like the answer for question number three why is general sherman well known she was the first woman to become the general of the u.s army he was a dog who was a mascot for the German Army in World War I. It's the world's largest tree. The Guinness World Record holder for being the first man to sell every product in his dollar store in a single day's trading period.

Or an American Civil War general. I'm going to say two of those answers are correct. I know they are. Okay, Wade. Well, let's just what man come in here with your writing skills and you break the game within three questions but i like like i watched like this ken burn civil war documentary which isn't like the most fabulous i loved it so you actually know who general i know who it is but i think the answer in this one is the tree.

But he is like an American Civil War general. That's what I'm going to go for. Surely that's two points if I get them both right. Yeah, they named the tree after this guy. You don't think he's a dog? He could be a dog. You know what? I'm going to take my answer back. He's the green grog dog.

Green grog dog. So, yes, you're going for the tree. I'm going to go for the tree. And that's because you know the answer's correct. Is that what you're going for the tree I'm going to go for the tree And that's because you know the answer's correct Is that what you're saying? I know I'm very confident it's correct Okay Well now I'm not so confident

You said it like that I'm calling it back Also wild gameplay to have confessed that before I Who doesn't know Yes Had put in my answer I forgot about we're playing a game I'm going to lie

That completely escapes me for a second. Or this is like such a long con that you're like, I'll put out this, but it's not that, and it's actually whatever the dog won. I do normally say, and I forgot to do today to new players, if you do know the answer, play it like you don't. Still write a fake answer. And don't admit you know it until after everyone's looked at their answers.

I'm never going to do that. Even if you'd told me,'d be like No I know this one I'm going to say it I'm really smart Amy do you want to lock in the correct answer as well? Yeah because I think it wouldn't be just as simple as like Who's this general? Oh they're like a general in the army

It is hard not to be swayed by the tree thing that he said But that feels like I'm cheating No no It does feel a bit like you're cheating. I'd feel like you're not taking advantage of his stupidity if you don't look at it. We just ordered the same meal and now you're getting the same dessert.

This is ridiculous. I mean, well, then I'd hate to not take advantage of stupidity, so lock me in for tree, please. All right, here's the answers. Became the first woman to become general of the US Army. That was the house, as was the dog mascot for the German Army. The world record for selling every product in his dollar store in a single day trading period.

That's the answer. I wish it was. So that was Amy. I thought that was good. That was fantastic. Unfortunately, the only guy who could have guessed it was... Do you think if you hadn't have known that you would have actually picked the dollar store one? No. Because I did know. There's no way I would have guessed it was... Do you think if you hadn't have known that you would have actually picked the dollar store one? No.

Because I did know. There's no way I would have. I don't think Wade can lie. I'm not great at this game. Have you had a hypothetical concept? I bogged out at Grog Frog. Let's lower the expectations of how far we can get it. I thought Grog Frog was fantastic.

I feel like there's a lot of mileage out of it, that's for sure. There's another peak to come, I can feel it. An American Civil War general was Wade, which is also, like you said, correct. But the correct answer here, and you both got it, it's the world's largest tree. Yeehaw. So a point for both Wade and Amy. Yeah, we did it. Team effort. It's us against the house. Again, you just don't understand how a game works.

So after three rounds, the scores are the house on one point, Wade on two points, but out in front on three points, it's Amy Ruffell. So here's question number four. This one comes in from Bendigo. Like you said, Wade, we do have listeners all over the world and uh amanda from bendigo asks and wade can i say if you do know the answers just pretend that i don't know the answer write another fake one pretend you don't know until they're locked in

all right can you do it green grog frogs come back so amanda's question is, how did Mabel Taylor shock locals when she arrived in Alice Springs in 1905? Watched any documentaries about this? Well, you're right, your answer is here's some more info about General Sherman. According to Wiki, the General Sherman tree was named after the American Civil War General,

William, how do I say this name, Wade, the middle name, Tecumseh? Tecumseh. Tecumseh. I think. William Tecumseh Sherman. The official story, which may be apocryphal, claims the tree was named in 1879 by naturalist James Wolverton,

who had served as a lieutenant in the 9th Indiana Cavalry under Sherman. According to Sacramento Sous, the General Sherman tree is the world's largest tree measured by volume. It stands 83 meters tall and is over 11 meters in diameter at the base, 60 feet above the base. The Sherman tree is 5.3 meters in diameter. above the base of the Sherman tree is 5.3 meters in diameter. It's located in the Sequoia and Kings you got you got American in you don't you Amy? What's that? S-E-Q-U-O-I-A Sequoia? It's located in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park in Central California. It is also estimated to be between 2,200 and 2,700 years old. And Suze finishes by saying, wow. Wow.

I agree with that. Hey, while you're still writing your answers, 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 and we're back here is question four how did did Mabel Taylor shock locals when she arrived in Alice Springs in 1905? She wore a divided skirt, also known as culottes, to ride a horse like a man rather than side saddle, which was the fashion at the time.

She ate a cherry and tied the stem in a bow with her tongue. She was covered head to toe in leeches with only her eyes and hair visible. She arrived by hot air balloon or all the dingoes in town followed her around howling to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy. I mean, I know what I want to be true. How would that sound, Amy?

Hmm. Oh. That's all I got. Oh. Oh. You can extrapolate from there. AI that sound for 30 seconds and then you'll be able to do it. Oh.

It is fun because that's a very like Americana song, right? The fact that that made it to Alice Springs in 1905 is awesome. Yeah. And the dingoes picked it up as well. I think you're really overlooking the most impressive part, I think. So you've got the riding a horse like a man, tying a cherry stem into a bow, covered in leeches, arriving by a hot air balloon, or having dingo sing Yankee Doodle Dandy. Man, that cherry thing.

I remember watching that on Twin Peaks when it first happened, and it was so great. Like, what a moment. What a moment. As, like, an adolescent young man, just watching this, I was like, oh, my God, my mind is blown. Everything's changed. Everything has changed. I can see it in color now that's yeah there's two moments yeah before and after for a lot of people they talk about before and after 9-11 but for you it was that cherry die to me it's that cherry i was like everything changed that day. I have titty noped all over my plate.

I'm going to say. Who's first? I think it might be back to you, Amy. Yeah. I just feel like I've taken advantage of your knowledge so far. I think maybe the horse riding one with the culottes. I did like the way you said the pants. Yeah. What is it? Culottes. Culottes. When with the culottes. I did like the way you said the pants. Yeah, what is it?

Culottes. Culottes. I'm going to say culottes. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds way cooler. You got your culottes on? I'm going to go culottes as well.

Double culottes. Oh, my goodness. Awesome. All right. Here's the answers. The dingoes howling to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy. That was the house. I wrote this last night. I got to all the dingoes followed her around town.

I'm like, that's not quite enough. But I probably went too far. With Yankee Doodle Dandy. She'll be coming around the mountain, mate. Or Waltzing Matilda. You could have heard that. Waltzing Matilda. I should have heard that Waltzing Matilda Should have stayed local

I'm like what's a song That was around back then Definitely that one The dingoes will be able To pick that up Yeah She arrived by hot air balloon That was Wade

Award winning writer She was covered Head to toe in leeches That was Amy Thank you We may be like really phoning In that award winning writer Maybe like really

I don't know Aided cherry Tired the stem in a bow Thank you. We may be like really phoning in that award-winning writer. Maybe like really. Aided Cherry Tired, The Stem in a Bow. That was also The House. The correct answer is She Rode Horse Like a Man. Rather than Sidesaddle, which was the fashion of the time. So you both got a point there. You're on fire. Have you got one wrong yet, Amy?

This is the best game ever. You're destroying. What was the population of Alice Springs in 1905 oh great question um it was small it wasn't even called Alice Springs yet it was called Stewart at the time Matt Stewart it was called Matt Stewart what's the population of Alice Springs now isn't it it's still quite small it's not huge is it 30 40 Like 30,000 or 40,000? I have no idea. I was in Tassie recently and I was surprised that the whole of Tassie is like half a million, they were saying, someone down there was saying. Yeah.

I'm like, oh. Do we think that's a lot or not? I said, what's the population down here? It's like, what, two, four million? They're like, no. No, no, no, no. I'm like, I don't understand numbers. All right.

After four rounds now, house still on one point. Wade's up to three. Amy's still out in front on four. Jesus, a tough, tough score between you two. Yeah. Perfect score. All ready to lose. So question five, third last question here.

It comes from Timmers from Rockville. The question is... Where's Rockville? Is that Australia? He doesn't say, so I'm not sure. last question here comes from timmers from rockville the question is which is rockville oh is that australia he doesn't say so i'm not sure um i mentioned there'd be a few rockvilles about on the planet it sounds like a utah name there's a rockville in queensland uh and there's one in maryland i think there's a... Yeah. Wow, everybody guess. I think... Well, I guess based on his question. Which of the following Pokemon are real?

Oh, that's a real Maryland answer. That's Rockpill at the very beginning. So, give us a name and a short description or a trade or something. Oh, so we get a name of Pokemon. Oh, and it's power. You make one up. It's power or what it does or whatever. I don't understand Pokemon.

Did either of you grow up with Pokemon? Big Pokey. Were you a big Pokey? Pokey ball. Oh, okay. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. This is your chance to...

Gotta catch him. I do get the concept, though. Okay, great. I'm across the thing. Because I came up with a couple, and it may become clear I don't understand the concept, but we'll see. While you're writing those answers, here's some more info about Mabel Taylor. Apparently she worked as a governess at the Alice Springs Overland Telegraph Line station between 1905 and 1907.

Doris Blackwell, who wrote the well-known book Alice on the Line, describes the moment to be read in a posh accent, apparently, according to Amanda who sent this in. Let me do my posh. Our new governess, Mabel Taylor, did an unheard of thing. She made a divided skirt to wear while riding a horse. Never had a woman been seen in that country riding any other way than side saddle quite a few of the locals were shocked or made out that they were at least by this daring innovation um yeah so are there two people in here it's so hard to come up with the power of a pokemon when you can hear that i'm still trying to remember what pokemon do

and then you've got the man so yeah amanda's like basically she just she made her own So, yeah, Amanda's like, basically, she made her own flares to ride a horse. And that shocked the locals. But she was coming from the far-flung place of Adelaide, where things were done a little differently around there. A little more culture. Yeah. The free settlers there.

That's what they say, the only capital city in Australia with free settlers. Really? I think that's what they say. So, what they mean, the only capital city in Australia with free settlers. Really? I think that's what they say. So, what they mean, it's not prison-based? Not, yeah, only non-convict major capital city. Times have changed there, then. Take that, Adelaide. Wow.

Straight into it. Yeah, cop that from the grog frog, which is, somehow it's become your nickname now. That rules. That honestly rules. We've had some great nicknames come up on this show. Oh, really? That have stuck as well. So I think Grog Frog, potentially, you might get a few messages addressing you as Grog Frog.

Oh, yeah. What are you up to this week, Grog Frog? Stop calling me that. This feels like a personal attack because the one I was on before was with Mish, and she's famously called Big Wet. Big Wet. That's her nickname. And at the start, I was like, I really.

Did you say Big Wet? Yeah, yeah. You heard me. It's good stuff. But my whole thing was like, I want a nickname. We have the whole episode to figure out a nickname. You can be Croc Frog. No, it has to happen organically, but it never does to me. And so now you're having it happen right in front of my eyes again.

I can't believe it. All right. The answer for question number five. Which of the following Pokemon are real? Sharatord can transform foliage into spear-like weapons. Drifloon, a balloon who attempts to kidnap children. Watsadoodle,

an inquisitive duck-like creature. Doug Nelson, a business Pokemon with an addiction to powder. Doggerol, a plant-based Pokemon with electric leaves. Oh my god, I want to see Doug's episode. Doug and Drifloon, like those two just going along, kidnapping children on the powder. Pikachu comes up, gets like fucked up with Doug.

Like won't go back in his ball so you got charitord driftloon what's a doodle doug nelson or doggerel i'm gonna say charitord charitord locking that in for wade there was two leaf based ones yes that one and then the last one what was that and doggaton Doggerall. Plant based Pokemon with electric leaves. I'm going to do plant based. Doggerall. Okay. Locking in Doggerall for Amy. It's crazy no one picked a dog. I mean surely

that's got to be it. It's got to be Doug Nelson. The Pokemon. Ash catch him and Doug. Just fucking out the back. Line him and Doug Just fucking out the back Line him up Doug Here's who wrote the answers What's a doodle that was the house

As was Doug Nelson Charitord which Wade went for that was Amy Doggerall which Amy went for That was Wade Maybe the correct answer is Drifloon A balloon who attempts to kidnap children i guess i don't understand pokemon at all i let this confirm that i don't when i'm like

how is that possible but that's crazy also that's so funny that we're both like leaves that do another thing yeah once again i saw some leaves and i'm like all that we were both like leaves that do another thing. Yeah. Once again, I saw some leaves and I'm like, all right, we'll just go with that. That'll be fine in here. But Drifloon, actually, that's Pokemon after dark. Like that's like Pokemon CSI. That's what that is. I was so confused because like on certain pages that explain it, there's like, there's a list of like 20 different things from different varieties like diamond and then it'll be a slightly different explanation from some other things yeah

this is probably an obvious thing to pokemon people with all the pokemon cards and stuff yeah i guess so but um that means you both get a point and with only two rounds to go, the scores are still tight, apart from the houses, who's languishing on one point. But Wade's on four, Amy's on five. Okay, close. And you've got triple points to go in the end as well, so bloody hell. Still anyone's game, apart from, I think,

it's quickly getting out of my reach. I think you started off on the wrong foot when you said the house was on a hot streak. I did. I think you really set yourself back there. Well, yeah, it's funny, because I normally say, oh, the house is struggling, but the house has just started winning recently. And this feels more like classic house. The early episodes.

So, question six comes from James H. from Southern California. I wonder if that's the one in Queensland. But also, like, doesn't want to be specific, like where in SoCal are you? Not giving out a last name either. He's really hanging on. James' question is, what scientific discovery was made by Patricia Yang and colleagues in Atlanta in 2013? What scientific discovery was made by Patricia Yang and colleagues in Atlanta in 2013? discovery was made by patricia yang and colleagues in atlanta in 2013 and while they're writing their answers i'll tell the audience a bit more about driftloon according to bulbapedia driftloon is a

pokemon with a spherical purple body it has two stringy arms that have yellow heart-shaped hands on the ends of them at the base of its body is a frayed protrusion that resembles the tired end of a balloon. In the middle of its face is a yellow tape-like X mark, which contains its little mouth in the very center. Located on either side of the X are its small black eyes. A white mass of fluff that resembles a cloud sits on top of Drifloon's head. Drifloon's body is filled with air, as well as the lost spirits of people and Pokemon. Its body expands as it collects more souls. If it explodes, the souls unleash with a screaming sound. It is also rumored that Drifloon itself

is reincarnated from deceased humans. I had no idea that Pokemon was this dark. Desiring company, Drifloon often seeks out children and grabs their hands. However, due to how light it is, it can be resisted easily and often is pulled around. This results in Drifloon running away from any children who are rough with it. Drifloon also dislikes heavy children. There are rumors that Drifloon steals children who hold onto it, guiding them to the afterlife.

Despite this reputation, as seen in the anime, Drifloon can be friendly and helpful. Fully dark stuff, that, from Drifloon. I wonder if that's the darkest Pokemon as well. I wonder if they go more evil. Is this the bottom of the barrel or do they keep on going yeah like pikachu was like the the gold standard he's the good one that's the one everyone they put out there yeah yeah the faces we'll put out the happy little guy but yeah if

you delve deep enough they're that's funny though it's like it's so cruel that it's a balloon that's trying to steal children, but it's so light that the kids just sort of drag it around. No, I'm stealing you, not the other way around. I wonder if it feels like balloons are finally getting revenge for all of the

times they've been taken hostage by children. Alright, the answer in for question number six, what scientific discovery was made by Patricia Yang and colleagues in Atlanta in 2013? The discovery of an Earth-like planet in a solar system 100 light years away. Planking actually burns more calories than jogging. The first clinical evidence of psilocybin's ability to change brain chemistry.

They discovered that almost all mammals, regardless of size, take approximately 21 seconds to urinate. Or everyone's head weighs the same, no matter the size. Man, there are some fun answers in there. Like, there are some answers that I want to guess all of them as well. 21 seconds seems like a long time to be. Man, there are some fun answers in there. Like there are some answers that I want to guess all of them. Yeah. 21 seconds seems like a long time to be. I'm trying to relate to my own personal experience. How long do I pee for?

If I was going to count down, 21 seconds. It depends. If you're doing Mississippis, that's a long time. That's a lot of Mississippis. Yeah. That's a lot of Mississippis. But also, if that's your first time, maybe you've been. Pississippis.

Pississippis. I hate that. That's why you're the host that could be your new nickname if you like oh pittasipi over here i love it don't do this no no no sippy and grog frog because they're back at it you could be charitored you're not stare away from pittasipians. You can't force them. They just have to happen naturally. What about Shartatorn? Pissacipian Big Wet is funny, though. Like the Moistures episode.

I will never get over Big Wet. She has that effect on people. So you've got an Earth-like planet 100 light years away planking burns more calories than jogging uh first clinical evidence of psilocybin's ability to change brain chemistry all mammals piss for the same amount of time or all heads weigh the same no matter the size i'm gonna say i want to say size. I'm going to say... I want to say like the... I want to say the mushroom one. But I'm going to say...

Because it can't be 2013. It can't be 2013 that they discovered that mushrooms change brain chemistry. Is that what psilocybin is? I think so. I think that's like the magic mushrooms. Right. But they weren't using that clinically that early, right? But they must have like,

weren't like the CIA and stuff doing like acid trials on like soldiers in like the 60s? Like there's all that stuff. Yeah, that was. So surely that's not. That was like, yeah. So I want to say that one. I'm going to go planking.

LSD and stuff. No, but why are they wasting time studying planking for more calories than jogging? Oh, do you want to go first? I think like I'm torn to the planking one. I'm like, who would make that up? And it seems so stupid that it has to be me. So I'm going to go planking.

Is the timing right? I'm just trying to think when planking was. Yeah. Was it around Mako mermaids? We were planking all over those pools, yeah. Oh, the mermaids. They're planking was yeah was it around maco mermaids we were planking all over those places yeah the mermaids they're planking yeah the show was based on planking the trend uh i'm gonna go planking as well because i just think that the mushroom one they must have figured that out earlier and then the heads weighing the same that can't be true sure and but also i think if they're going to figure that out they would have figured that out many hundreds of years ago they loved head based science

all right so lock both locked in yeah here's who wrote the answers everyone's head weighs the same that was the house i thought that was like particularly ridiculous but as you say like that is the kind of bullshit that they would probably do uh the planet being discovered 100 light years away that was Wade the psilocybin one which is about mushrooms apparently

was that what you were googling? I was googling the pronunciation of psilocybin that was Amy then we had the planking one. That was the house. Meaning the correct answer is everyone pisses for the same amount of time. What?

21 piss-a-sippies. Can't be true. The house calls one back on piss-a-sippie. I can't believe it. That's why I get two points there, the house. Every mammal pees for 21 seconds. About, yeah, apparently. That's where I get two points there, the house. Every mammal pees for 21 seconds. About, yeah, apparently. That's bananas.

Like from blue whales to little shrews. I think they say it's only... Oh, here we go. There's an asterisk on this one. One, two. Mammals away, a kilogram. Oh, the mammal that we tested, yeah. A kilogram or more.

Yeah, right. Because there's... Yeah, I'll explain it in huge detail while you're writing the last answer. Okay, sorry. All right. What a cool fact. Yeah, it is fun. Great work to the team.

They had to watch a lot of animals. Yeah. Oh, my God. Hi, honey. How was work today? Like really clearing the Google search history as well. Yeah, yeah. like really really clearing

the google search history as well yeah yeah yeah that's apparently they watched a lot of

youtube clips and also just live footage just getting out there straight out there yeah just talking to

Attenborough he would have known every piss break yeah that's right I didn't realize that years ago sorry

yeah that'll only be 21 seconds that was something he famously said all the time um all right final question this one's this is the longest one you'll have to wait this is about a movie synopsis okay great you've actually featured in this uh on a previous episode uh claire hooper yeah she's ripped she stole one of my ideas. She credited you. That's nice.

All right, so this one comes from Ben Bruflat from Cumberland Gap in Tennessee, and the question is, what is the synopsis of the 2020 film Spontaneous? What is the synopsis of the 2020 film Spontaneous? So normally, Wade, it'll be your longest answer probably about three four five sentences okay paragraph long uh while you're writing your answers here is an article

about this piss study uh written by jacob aaron for new scientists back in 2013 a law of urination which is what what what the 21 second rule is called a law of urination now explains the physics behind what happens when you just gotta go patricia yang and colleagues at the georgia institute of technology in atlanta use high-speed video to study how fluids and animals interact they had they have previously investigated how dogs shake themselves dry. While filming at a zoo, they noticed that animals of various sizes, both male and female, took a similar time to empty their bladders. The team filmed rats, dogs, goats, cows, and elephants urinating and gathered footage from YouTube of others relieving themselves. Combining this with data on mass bladder pressure and urethra size, they were able to create a mathematical model of urinary systems to show why mammals take the same time to empty their bladder despite the difference in bladder size.

Previous models have only considered the effects of bladder pressure, but the length of the urethra turns out to be important as well. Most of the research is on humans or animals smaller than humans says yang in these species the effect of gravity can be ignored that's not true of elephants whose urethral dimensions are comparable to a household pipe a dime a diameter of around 10 centimeters and a length of about one meter that's a big urethra in this case it's insane i like will come in and out and all i can hear is urethra i have no idea what you're saying you've said it at least eight times i'm looking forward to the movie featuring a few urethras um so in this case size matters as it means urine has time to reach higher speeds this means that as it travels down the pipe the urine accelerates and its flow rate rises resulting in an elephant's

large bladder being emptied in a similar time to those of small animals medium-sized animals like dogs and goats have shorter urethras, so get less of a gravitational boost. Their flow is slower. In addition, they have smaller bladders. The result of both effects is that they empty their bladders in roughly the same time as elephants. According to the team's model, an animal's size does make a difference to urination time, but only very slightly. Their law of urination says that the time a mammal takes to empty a full bladder is proportional to the animal's mass raised to the power of a sixth, meaning even very large changes in mass have little effect on the time.

There are limits to this scaling. Gravity only plays a small role in the urination of very small animals, mammals like rats and bats, which urinate in under a second. Instead, viscosity and surface tension dominate, which explains why their urine is released as a steam of individual drops, rather than a continuous jet seen in larger mammals. I did not know that. I did not know that. Rats piss for a second and it's steam. Yeah. Hang on. A stream of individual drops.

I've just read that as steam. What is a stream of individual drops? What is that if not a steam? The team will present the results at the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics at a meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Yang hopes the law of urination might help diagnose urinary problems in elephants and other large mammals. It might even inspire new designs for water towers, which also pump water using the force of gravity, she says. Important work.

All right. The answers are in. Yeah, so going to the final round, scores are tight. The house on three, Wade's on four, Amy's on five. So the house is still the game. Oh, no. You both guess house answers here.

Oh, no. Amy and the house will draw a level. Okay. But you've got triple points up for grabs, so either of you could win in your own right all right here's the question what is the synopsis of the 2020 film spontaneous oh ben's calling hey ben hello hey you're on the air oh really is that okay yeah i'm fine um hello we're just we're just finishing up the last question.

Oh, okay, great. Should we give him all the options and he can have a vote on the last one? Do you want to have a vote on the last one, Ben? Yeah, I'll vote on the last one. All right, so the final question is, what is the synopsis of the 2020 film Spontaneous? And I guess for you, because you haven't played any other rounds you can get you know all your points here so you got hang up the phone we have come this far

10 points off for grabs okay wild all right so the movie is spontaneous uh you've got brady butterfield is in a word, a bore. With his marriage threatening to fall apart, Brady, played by Stephen Root, books a surprise cruise ship vacation for him and his wife Claire, played by Laura Linney. While the spontaneous adventure reignites their passion, a murder aboard the ship incites panic.

What starts with margaritas and shuffleboard may end up as the last hurrah for everyone. All aboard this cult classic horror comedy. Option two. An American spy played by Peter Williams falls in love with the British woman played by Alice Woodman. They are assigned to watch. Peter facilitates a situation in which they meet spontaneously and has Alice fall in love with them. Alice uncovers the truth and has to escape Peter as he becomes more unhinged, blurring the lines between the assignment and his obsession. Then you've got Get Ready for the Outrageous Coming-of-Age Love Story About Growing Up and Blowing Up. When students in

their high school begin exploding literally, seniors Mara and Dylan struggle to survive in a world where each moment may be their last. Spontaneous generation states that living organisms can originate from inanimate objects. For instance, frogs were generated from mud, insects from excessive wind, and wasps were generated from decomposing horses. This theory has long been abandoned by mainstream science, but should it be? In this documentary,

Shaq puts forward the case that we should reconsider this long-debunked theory of evolution. It's awesome. Or finally, Gemma is in her sophomore year of college and has never been kissed. Desperate to change her fate and rid herself of this title

before anyone finds out, she signs herself up for fencing lessons to meet someone new, but her life is changed forever when the class is taken hostage and their fight for survival begins. Okay. Who's there?

Because I need to get inside their minds, you know? Oh, okay. So you've got Wade Duffin, aka the Green Grog Frog, and you've got Amy Ruffell, aka Pizzasippy. Okay. All right.

Listen, I think I'm going to go with... I'm going to go with the Stephen Root and Laura Linney because that sounds like a movie that no one has seen, and they seem like, oh, I love Laura Linney, and I like Stephen Root, but there was a period in time when they had it rough in their careers, and this could be that period. All right.

I'll lock that up for you, Ben. I'm going to go Shaq straight away. You're going to go Shaq? I'm going to go Shaq straight away. You're going to go Shaq? I'm going to go Shaq, just because I want it to be true. I can live without the other movies. I don't think I can live without the Shaq documentary. I think that's just amazing. And if not, you're going to fund it?

Get Shaq on board. That leaves just you, Amy. It was 2020, right? 2020, that's right. I feel like Stephen Root and Laura Linney were more in there. I feel like I would know if that movie came out in 2020. I didn't realize it was 2020. Okay.

Well, can I change it? You can, of course. Actually, no, I'm not going to change it. Whoa. You're not going to get into my head this time. I, against maybe better judgment, I'm going to go the exploding teens. Okay, great. Lock that in for Amy.

Before we lock in the answers, Ben, just quickly, you're on Wade's new podcast as well, is that right? Yeah, I am. The Remains is the newsreader. Great, great job. It was amazing. Yeah, it was very exciting. I'm going to go home and listen to it all today.

You should. Was it good fun to be involved today you should was it good good fun to be involved in yeah it was great i mean i did it all from my my home yeah it was an email so it would have been so it was super fun to be involved i mean you just can't write that kind of magic that's how good he is, though. He doesn't need that much direction to nail it. Yeah, yeah.

All right, here's who wrote the answers. Gemma, who joins a fencing class to find love. Beautifully written by Amy. Thank you. Is that what you would do if you were in the position of, I just need to find a kiss somewhere? Yeah, it's such a... First thing you think is...

It's fencing. Fencing, yeah. With the masks on. It's me, Mississippi. Why won't anybody kiss me? What else do we have? American Spy, played by Peter Williams, and the British woman Alice Woodman.

That was Wade. I could see that movie. That was good, yeah. i made those names up they're not real actors no well that cost you uh ben's choice because he really he just basically picked laura linney yeah uh the laura linney film uh was written by ben the question writer the other ben so that's a point for the house there ben russell and i yeah i guess you're right i mean it does sound like a great film but but i think they're already 2020 yeah once the 2020 revelation if i'd known that i wouldn't have made it no you did know it and then you backed up, doubled down This is why I emailed you Instead of doing an impression

So, Wade, you went for the Shaq documentary That was the house, that was me That is all true stuff though Spontaneous generation They did believe that frogs were generated from mud Yeah, and Shaq I thought if Shaq believed it, surely. I learnt recently that Shaq's a flat earther.

That's what made me think he'd be a good fit. No offence to our flat earthers listeners, but 50% of our audience are flat earthers. We respect your right to choose. That's right. But that means the correct answer is what Amy went for, the back rowing up and blowing up. I've had the best game ever.

This has been insane. I can't come back, man. Well, I think that you've been on before with Ben, and I think the day that he slept through was probably the day that you shone the most. Yeah, Ben being the bad old man this whole time. You do work with Ben quite a lot, though, don't you? Yeah, I normally shit the bed.

I'm holding you back. Is that what you're saying? Or maybe Wade's just bringing you forward. Yeah. I've got a real low bar to walk over, to be honest. Because also, Ben was here when you guessed that last one correct, so maybe it isn't Ben at all. That's true.

It's the grog frog. It's the grog frog, yeah. Well, I'm sorry that I didn't turn up. I had a horrible night last night. My neck and shoulders are all fucked up. Oh, that sucks. That's horrible. No, don't do it. neck and shoulders are all fucked up. Oh, that sucks. That's horrible. I'm old.

No, don't do it. And I just slept right past my alarm, something I haven't done for years. It's such a... I'm really sorry. No, no stress at all. It is a brutal day when you get injured sleeping. Yeah, you've hit a

milestone there. It's really fucked. I will have to get you on in an upcoming week anyway. I would love that. Awesome. Thanks so much for calling in. That's alright.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry to everyone and to you, the listener, most of all, the one that I love the most. You've got a Comedy Festival show coming up as well. Yeah, but I'm not going to... Plugging it now feels like in terrible taste, to be honest.

Come and sit. I won't sleep through. You'll be fine. I'll definitely be there. So I'm not going to do that. All right. Well, appreciate you calling in anyway. Cheers, Ben. Thanks, guys.

See you soon. Thanks, man. Bye. All right. I'm just tabulating the scores. And while I'm doing that, I can quickly tell you, this is according to Ben Bruflett, the question writer, Spontaneous received positive reviews,

earning 96% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience rating was a lot lower in the 60s, I think. It's a genuinely touching story that also happens to feature people exploding. So it's a perfect date night pick. Couldn't have been. So the final scores after that last round. Wade on four points.

The house jumping up to five points. Both of the house answers were picked there. Ben came in to give me a little bit of spoiler. That sucks. That means winning the day on eight points. It's Amy Ruffell. Well done. Thank you.

Mississippi. Mississippi for the win. I get a nickname and I get a done. Thank you. Mississippi. Mississippi. Mississippi for the win. I get a nickname and I get a win. This is honestly Christmas. We've really got to match up Mississippi and Big Wet. What an episode. I mean, the grog frog probably doesn't sound too far away from that either. You could get involved in that.

It's eight points. That must be like a high score in the show. No. Big Wet's gotten involved in that. Is eight points, like that must be like a high score on the show. No. People have got to double digits before. Big wet's gotten bigger than that. Because of the triple points at the end, if people guess yours and you get it right, you can really jump. Well, eight seems impressive from down at four.

That's like twice four. Yeah. Well, four is also a great score. Great. Tell us about the memories we made on the way. It's been a really lovely experience. And don't worry about the destination. I should say, Ben Russell on zero points.

True. So you came in last. And also, we were winners because we made it here. We turned up on time. We couldn't pat ourselves on the back for that. A little early, if anything. Yeah. We had time to talk about sneakers outside.

It was crazy. Great sneakers. And if anyone wants to hang around, there'll be a bunch of very silly elf cuts at the end of this episode, I believe. I thought you were talking to us. So did I. No, I better go.

This never ends. No, you've pre-recorded all these. You can go. And they can keep listening if they want. But before you go, one last time, your show. The Remains out on apple and spotify a fiction horror podcast it's very good it sounds so good and that cast is insane the nikki britain kills it she absolutely kills it and the sound design by tiffany dimmick is just

crazy but yeah nikki absolutely destroys she's saw her show in adelaide a few weeks ago she's so funny she's so funny but in this In this she's hilarious In this one because she was doing it in Sydney So we're doing it kind of down the line And then she was scaring her dog So at one stage we kind of had to take a little break Because her dog was getting a bit freaked out

And I wanted to do another scream She's like no I can't do anymore My dog is freaking out So I had to get her to do it from like another time But yeah she's very good. She puts it all on the line. She puts it all. She leaves it all.

She leaves nothing out there. Like it's so great. Her voice. She's, yeah. In the show, I didn't realize how good her voice stuff is. She did so many different accents and all the problematic ones. And she did. She did the Channel 10 voice and stuff.

I didn't realize. Yeah, I think she's the voice of Channel 10 Yeah Oh my gosh is that true I think Wow I think so Well she alluded to that in the show so

Yeah I think she does a lot of Channel 10 voiceover stuff Cool Coming up next sort of stuff Yeah Coming up next Oh wow are you trying to go for her throne I'm trying to go for the throne And Amy you've got some shows coming up as well

Yes So yeah Something Good Improv show at Comedy Republic during Comedy Festival. That's Saturdays at 4.30 throughout the whole run. And then also we're doing a one-off. It's a show called A Group of People Do Improv, which is featuring ensemble members from Thank God You're Here. It is not a Thank God You're Here show.

It is not affiliated with the show. And I must be very clear to tell you that for legal reasons. You should get Nikki Britton to introduce it coming up next. We just see like red dots appear on our forehead, just taken out. It gets sillier to host, but nothing to do with Thank God You're Here. It's not affiliated. It's the door.

Well, I ran it by the production company, obviously, and that was their first question. They're like, so is there going to be a door? I'm like, no. We use a window. It's very different. We'll imagine a door. It's a full-length window.

It's opaque. So that's just a one-off 7th of April at 3.45. So get around improv, man. It's the coolest form of comedy. Yeah, we had a guest on a few weeks ago who was shitting all over it. And I said very meekly, I don't mind it. I'll get their names later and then make them do my show. Can I plug another podcast?

Please. I also do a podcast with my friend Harley Breen, Shitting With The Door Open. It's like a mental health podcast where we talk about what it's like to be a parent and mental health issues and addicts. A lot of dick jokes. In fact, I would say 90% dick jokes and then some mental health. Yeah, you're leaving off with mental health. Yeah, yeah. Really, as I said, I'm like, actually, if I pull that back.

You should come back with Harley and do this show sometime. Oh, yeah. Next time he's in town, we'll do it together. You think he'd be... Oh, he'd be bang up for it. Yeah, I see. It's crazy to be fired and be here at the same time. Just been cut out as...

Been fired? Yeah, just now. You were like, yeah, yeah, he should come back with Harley. I've been erased from the narrative. Oh, I didn't know. And Amy. Oh, yeah, we could now... I can drink drugs too.

You can't have the grog frog without Pizzasipi. Oh, I didn't know, and Amy. Oh, yeah, we could now. I can drink drugs too. You can't have the grog frog without Pizzasipi. You're FM's favourite drive team. Thanks so much for listening, everyone. Give us a five-star review, why not? I think you could if you wanted to. It doesn't take that long. Maybe tell some people you think might enjoy it.

And cheers for tuning in to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart with the Grog Frog and Pizzle City. And now that you know it, I've been Matt Stewart. Goodbye. Are you a big Saints fan? I'm looking at your hat. You've got a St. Kilda Saints logo on there. I am a big Saints fan, yeah. How do you feel their season is going to go?

Look, this time of year, it's the time to be quietly confident. That feels like it's setting you up for disappointment. Yeah, that's right. That's the loop we go through. Starts with hope. It ends with disappointment. Only one team can win. You know, there's 18 and it doesn't tend to be us.

Certainly not in my lifetime. Oh my God. Is that true? Yeah. Wow. Hasn't it been like since the 50s? 60s. Come on, Wade.

Give us a go. Come on. I mean, what are you wearing? A pirate's hat? Have they ever won anything? Is that what that is? That's a P for Penny, for my oldest daughter. And she wins everything.

I think technically it's some kind of American sports team. But Claire got me a P hat, a C hat, and an S hat, just to give everybody a little... That's beautiful. The S doesn't get much of a wear, I'm not going to lie. She's pretty good, but the hat itself is a bit on the down. She's always a bit disappointed where I'm always wearing the P and the C. I was going to say, the politics of when you wear the hats

would be stressful. Oh, yeah. Just the P and the C are fine. Sometimes I put the S on. All right, I'll see you later. And then it just goes straight out. I lie to her. I think someone's got to get you a better S hat.
