Welcome, everyone, to Who Knew It With Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart, and this week I'm joined by a second banana and scorekeeper at Sands Pants Radio's Biggest Brain with the gentlest energy.

Welcome Cass Page. Big brain smooth. Oh, you could hold it, it would wobble. And Cass, our first contestant this week is Sands Pants Radio's most handsome man. He's got brains, sure, but he's known for his brawn. It's Adam Cannavale. You're a muscle-bound freak, my dude.

And our second contestant is also from Sands Pants Radio. It's Jackson Bailey. Yeah! No notable traits. Your feet are in love. I was thinking the same thing. We're foot five-ing. The lowest one.

You think you can break this bond with your trivia show? I'd like to see you try. New challenge. All right, Cass, by the end of the night, we're going to try and break this bond, but we're going to do it with trivia, okay? Give me a point, I'll break the bond. I knew it was going to be that easy.

Okay, so for people who don't understand the game, does anyone here in the audience not know what's going on? All right. Well, I mean, that must have all been very baffling, even for the people who understood what was going on. I'll explain to you and to Jackson and Adam. This is how the game works. I ask a relatively obscure trivia question

and our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answers as well as the real one. Then they guess which one they think is correct. Okay, are we ready to play? Yeah, I'm across it. Let's do it. I feel like we've lost the audience. Do you remember how hot they were before? Yeah.

They're still hot. They're always simmering. They're always simmering. They dropped off a cliff. They were real hot on the top of a cliff, and now they've fallen to their grisly deaths. But we're at the retreat. Yeah. What a great pub.

I've been on this stage before, but never when I've been allowed to be. So it feels cool. Here is your first question Jackson please don't look at my screen I'm not Look at me instead Staring into my eyes The first question comes from

Listener Caroline Ruck from Collingswood in New Jersey Go on Matt We got our own thing going on here We got a side bet. Jackson and Adam, for listeners at home, assuming this does make it out publicly, they're still foot-fiving, but they're also locking eyes.

Who pulled away first? Only lips to go. I blinked, I blinked. Point to Adam. All right, so here's the question. What is a behematist? Okay. Okay. Okay.

Geez, I reckon Adam knows what that is. Maybe he knows. The way he sort of made that sort of exhaling sound was a very arrogant exhale. Never seen a man get rid of breath in such an arrogant way. Huffy. If I have never seemed so high to you, I cannot wait to fall so low. All right. While they're writing their answers,

I'll explain how the scoring works. So you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant, and another point if you correctly guessed the answer. By the way, I'm also playing as the house. Got some house fans in tonight. People love the house. That's what they say.

I've done a few live shows of this, and the house has never got love before. This feels great. I love the retreat hotel. Great vibes. So I've put in two of my own fake answers for each question, and I get a point for each one of those that a guest chooses as well. So each of us can score up to two points per round. Seems fair, but apparently the probability favors me, the house.

And the house always wins. Unless you've listened to previous episodes, you'll know that is not the case. Anyway, our questions come from our great Patreon supporters. If you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com. The audience came in tonight for free, but they don't leave free. Oh, my God. We'll hand the...

Holy shit. Jackson just... Okay, for the listeners who can't see. Can't see what's happening. At least nothing smashed. There's a little table in between the four of us. Yeah. Jackson just threw his leg out.

I'm getting rowdy. I was not going to, but then... I didn't intend to kick the table. Where one question is... I was trying to tell you, you need to send the answers to me. Oh, I see. I see. So Cass was trying to help you, Jackson.

And how did you repay her? Kicking a beer into my face. I kicked a beer into your face. I'm so sorry, Cass. So do I get another point or does Jack lose a point for this? Come on, Cass. No, I laughed. He gets one.

Yes! There we go. I've said it. I don't know if you're encouraging the right kind of behavior there, Cass. I'm so scared now that I'm going to do it again. I mean, there's less to spill this time. I've got the funny feeling this episode is going in the bin but okay so here is question number one what is a behemotist five options an expert in gymnastics an ancient egyptian or greek person who was trained to

measure distances by counting their steps someone who has won a british empire medal like a person who makes glass implements for medical purposes or a professor of arithmetics who is also a b Four Difficult decision there Yeah So you've got five good and possible options there to choose from Do you need to hear them again? Yeah, can I hear them one more time? Yeah, first four

So you've got an expert in gymnastics An ancient Egyptian or Greek person who was trained to measure distances By counting their steps Someone who has won a British Empire medal An ancient Egyptian or Greek person who was trained to measure distances by counting their steps. Someone who has won a British Empire medal. A person who makes glass implements for medical purposes. Or a professor of arithmetics who is also a bee. Okay.

I'm guessing the British medal winner. I was thinking that too. Can I guess the same as Adam? You can guess the same. What's your logic there? I don't know. Can I guess the same as Adam? You can guess the same. Watch your logic there. I don't know. It just sounded the most real. I was weighing up between that or the person measuring distances, but I feel like the

British medal thing is so left of field, it wouldn't even have been an incorrect made-up thing. I see, because I feel like the measuring distances one was too long to be real. That was my thing. Real things are never long.

There are no long things. That's correct. Yeah. You wouldn't have the real answer be so obviously different from the rest of the answers. What do you mean? None of them are similar. No, that one's so long.

That's what I mean. It stands out, which is suspicious. But you've also made None of them are similar. No, that one's so long. That's what I mean. It stands out, which is suspicious. But you've also made two of them up. So how would that have even come into it? I don't think I had enough time to write down one that long. Okay, right. We had a bit. You know what?

Let's go. All right. Here are who wrote the answers. An expert in gymnastics. That was written by Adam Cannavale. I see. Okay. A professor of arithmetics who is also in gymnastics. That was written by Adam Cannavale. I see. Okay. A professor of arithmetics who is also a bee.

That was written by the house. Big house fans. I am loving this. They love the house. People love the house. A person who, and I'll read it as written, like a person who makes glass implements for medical purposes. Classic Oxford Dictionary language there.

That was written by Jackson. Do I have to start editing them? Well, here's the thing. I sent a really bad example. I'll tell you, here's what happens, okay? Because I sent a medical glass blower to Matt, and then I was like, that sounds insane. And then I was like, that sounds insane. And then I was like,

like a person who makes glass implements for medical purposes. And then I kicked the table. And in kicking the table, I found out he needed to send it to you. So with the clock ticking, I just sent you the most, yeah. Honestly, that would have been a long answer if all of it got through.

All I need to do to sabotage your answers then is to get you to keep kicking the table. That's not hard. I hate that table. So that means it's either the long one or the one you both picked. And unfortunately for you, it is the long one. The correct answer is an ancient Egyptian or Greek person who was trained to measure distances by counting their steps. I made such a song and dance.

You did. About how that was definitely not it. Kicked up a fuss. It was very sweet that you both sent through the exact same. You just both texted me British Empire medal. Exact same message from both of you. Felt pressed for time. But no, the British Empire Empire medal That one was written

By the house Damn it Woo Yeah the house Woo the house So Caroline Ruck From Collingswood Wrote that one

So that's two points For the house Cass Do you want to give us A quick score Update after one round Uh oh Okay

Uh oh Round one Yeah On the bottom Adam and Jackson On one point each after one round. Uh-oh. Okay. Uh-oh. Round one. Yeah. On the bottom, Adam and Jackson. On one point each, but they've been cheeky points. I've given them because I like the cut of your jibs. And then how's this on two? Four.

Even if you put your heads together. Yeah, I'm bringing them on tour. We're going to lose to someone who's not technically competing. Question two comes from Saraj Piriras from Moonee Ponds. You in tonight, Siraj? Oh. It's weird. I don't think you can say no if you're here.

Siraj's question is, what did Sonia Thomas, a.k.a. The Black Widow, gain fame for in 2011? What did Sonia Thomas, a.k.a. The Black Widow, gain fame for in 2011? While you're writing your answers, Cass, let me tell you a bit more information on the word behemotist. I'd love to know. Feel free. This is very dry stuff.

Feel free to make it interesting. I'll wet it as I see fit. You're the person to go to. So according to our question writer, Caroline, Greek scholar Eratosthenes, I've written it down phonetically. I believe that's close. Greek scholar Eratosthenes, I said it differently both times. I admit that. I'm times. I admit that.

I'm the first to admit that. Anyway, whoever that was, with the help of a behemotist, was able to calculate the approximate circumference of the Earth in about 240 BC. Isn't that freaking ridiculous? You'd have to have such a certain step. What did they do with the information? They put it in a book. Didn't they use, it's like a well is part What did they do with the information? I put it in a book.

Didn't they use... It's like a well is part of how they figured out or something like that. Really? How would you have done it? How would you have figured out the circumference of the Earth? I don't even know what the profession's called, dude. Do you think I can figure it out? A really long measuring tape.

Something to do with where the sun is and where a mountain is at the same time. That's a start. How would that help you? Well, if I know where the sun is and I know where the mountain is. How do you know where the sun is? In the sky. I'm like, sun's up, mountain's there, Earth's got to be yay big.

Go on then. Go on. Well, I'd have a team. Would it just be me? Much like you, Jackson, Eratosthenes is also known as the father of geography. Just like me. Mine's for a different reason, though. Far more sinister reason.

So we're ready to go for question number two. All the answers are in. Question is, what did Sonia Thomas, aka the Black Widow, gain fame for in 2011? Here are your five options. When her 11th husband died, she claimed the Guinness record for outliving the most spouses in a lifetime.

Okay. Yeah, I feel like there's a lot on a similar... Anyway. Everyone kind of ran with those two words, I'm guessing. Option two, killing her six-year-old husband on their luxury yacht. Six-year-old? Sixty.

Oh, okay. Never mind, then. As you will. Honestly, six is quite old for a spider. Option three, eating 40 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Option four. The implication that her husband's the hot dog. Option four.

Killing her husband with spider poison. Okay. Or finally, killing and eating her partner after having sex. She became notorious for her gruesome mating habits, powerful venom, and having eight legs. Approximately six more than the average human. Now, that one's quite long, Jack. That is quite long.

Yeah. That is quite long. Okay. So, yeah. There is this thing. So, we've got four dead husbands and hot dogs. One hot dog extravaganza. We don't know what this guy's name is, so. Do you need to hear them again? Yeah, let's get one more time. Yeah, yeah. One hot dog extravaganza. We don't know what this guy's name is.

Do you need to hear them again? Yeah, let's go one more time. Yeah, one more time. So you've got the woman who outlived 11 husbands getting the Guinness record. Someone who killed her six-year-old husband on their luxury yacht. We got eating 40 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

Okay. Killing her husband with spider poison or the woman who was a spider. Does the Guinness Book of Records do murder ones? Surely you can't. You'd have to prove it was a murder first. I reckon

at a certain point they started running out of records. They might do murder ones. I'm going to pick the first one. It doesn't say murder though. It says killing her husband. Her 11th husband died. Oh, okay. Yeah, I think that one. That's my choice.

Such a funny thing to send out the Guinness official record keeper. I'm sorry, this husband not technically dead yet. We can't give you the award. Nice try. The husband actually has to be dead for three minutes before we're allowed to call it. I'm going to say killing on the yacht. Killing on the yacht.

No worries Alright let's go through Who wrote the answers The one where The woman was a spider That was the house What Crazy

People still People love the house People love the house It's been a beautiful flip I'm not What do you call In wrestling This would be a

Heel face flip Am I right? Which is what you did Before to Cass That's Killing her husband With spider poison That was Adam

Kind of our way Should it be more specific With the poison That's why I was suspicious I was like They wouldn't just call it Spider poison Also it's why I was suspicious. I was like, they wouldn't just call it spider poison. Also, it's spider venom.

No. Oh, yeah, no, it would be. Yes, I'm getting claps. I'm getting one clap, but I'll take it. If it's normally venom. If you eat the spider, it's poison. But you poison a meal. Yeah, because it's eat.

If the meal bit you, it would be venomous. Yeah, but it's not. I don't think the implication there necessarily was that She killed a You know what, it should have been longer It should have been longer Should have gone longer Yeah

Then we had The one that Jackson picks, the 11th husband Dying, that was written by the house It's a good one Wait, is that The hot dog one was for? It can't be. It can't be.

The one that Adam picked, killing a six-year-old husband on their luxury yacht, that was written by Jackson. Oh, yeah. Oh, I forgot you had one. That's how sweet it is. So the correct answer is eating 40 hot dogs in 10 minutes. What?

Why did they call him the... What? How did that give her the nickname? Or did she just have it separately? I'll explain in a second. For Cass, that means one point for the house, one point for Jackson. Yes.

There you go. And if you need this made clear, no points for Adam. It's always worth reiterating. I don't think we need a reiterator. Hover my finger over Adam. Do not click. Question three comes from Paula in LA. The question is,

what noteworthy event was Napoleon Bonaparte involved in in July of 1807? Okay. Napoleon Bonaparte was involved in some sort of noteworthy. And that's very loose, of course, on this game, what means noteworthy. But something he was involved in in sort of noteworthy... I mean... And that's very loose, of course, on this game, what means noteworthy. But something he was involved in in July 1807. While you're writing your answers, keep one ear on this, Jackson.

I'd love to see it bleed into your next answer. Hot dogs. So here's a bit more information about Sonia Thomas. Known as the Black Widow, and also her other nickname's fantastic, the leader of the Four Horsemen of the esophagus. Oh, my God. Sonia Thomas is a competitive eater from Alexandria in Virginia.

Her nickname, the Black Widow, refers to her ability to regularly defeat men four to five times her size. She holds records in over 25 eating competitions, and in 2008 she set the world record for fruitcake eating in a ten-minute span. How much cake? That's a dense cake. Heaps.

Yeah, she had heaps of them. Oh, she'll add brandy cream? It's also the grossest cake. It's easily the worst cake. And I love Christmas. It's nothing against Christmas. It's just the worst cake. And I love Christmas. It's nothing against Christmas. It's just a fucking... Their mascot sucks, though.

Of all the celebratory events, why go Christmas for a cake? Isn't there one that's traditionally famous for having a cake? A fruitcake, though. Oh, fruitcake. I'm an idiot. I mean, the score already suggests that, but... Oh, my God. I mean the score already suggests that but oh my god you get a little bit of power

and you're immediately stepping down oh my god extra point for the house I'm surprised you've got just a little pile of ash on the chair next to me far out I'm so sorry about that that didn't feel good felt great?

it felt fantastic yeah so she became the first champion of Nathan's about that. That didn't feel good. Felt great? Okay. It felt fantastic. I liked it. Yeah, so she became the first champion of Nathan's hot dog eating contest for women in 2011, eating 40 hot dogs in 10 minutes. That's amazing. She earned the inaugural pink Pepto-Bismol belt

and won 10 grand. 10 grand? I could eat 40 hot dogs. 40 in 10. Hang on, four minutes of hot dogs? No. Four eat 40 hot dogs. 40 in 10. Hang on, four minutes of hot dog? No. Four minutes of hot dog? 15 seconds of hot dog? You're looking at the right guy. I'm no

arithmetic bee over here. Has anyone here, while he quickly tabulates that, there's a very funny TV show called Man vs. Nature where they got the best competitive eater versus a bear. The bear destroyed them. It's like a plate of whatever,

40 hot dogs and the guy's like double fisting hot dogs going down real quick. The bear, one paw in its mouth in one go. That's awesome. But now that bear's like this is a great place to get hot dogs. The hardest part was figuring out when the bear was going to start. Because the guy, he could start whenever.

The bear starts when the bear starts. I don't know how to do that, Sam. I went like at 600 seconds divided by 40 equals 15. But what does the 15 mean? Yeah, 15 seconds. 15 seconds of hot dog, yeah. Do you reckon you could eat a hot dog in 15 seconds divided by 40 equals 15. But what does the 15 mean? Yeah, 15 seconds. 15 seconds of hot dog, yeah. Do you reckon you could eat a hot dog in 15 seconds? And enjoy it?

Yeah. Otherwise, what's the point? Win the award for the most hot dogs eaten and enjoy. That's what I could do. Four's a pretty good amount. All right, here's question number three. What noteworthy event was Napoleon Bonaparte involved in in July 1807? He invented the ice cream float.

He ordered a crate of champagne but destroyed all the bottles when they arrived as they weren't from the champagne region, ending up flooding his residence. He returned a second time from his forced exile in Malta. He was attacked by a herd of bunny rabbits. Or the first Galapagos island tortoise to arrive in Europe.

He was there to witness it. That's a big deal. That would be huge to witness. I don't think we're suggesting that he was the tortoise. Is the Galapagos Island tortoise the one

that was really hard to identify because they kept eating it when they were taking it back? Yeah, that was the delicious one. So it would have been pretty impressive if it was the first one derived that hadn't been eaten en route. They had discovered it but they couldn't give it a scientific name because they couldn't get it back to London because people kept eating it on the ship. They come in their own giant bowl.

It's cool to think that there's still a couple of them left. Is there enough of them left that we might as well just eat them? Anyway, debatable. I think he returned from his second exile in Malta. That's my choice. I'm guessing, and this might sound crazy, he was attacked by a herd of bunnies. Okay, we're locking that in for...

That's a field answer. Talk me through it. Well, that actually sounds... Look, I'm going to maybe sound like a big dumb idiot again, but I feel like I heard that that was a thing that happened to Napoleon. And you're going to seem like a big dumb idiot because you picked my one. Damn it. Alright, well no spoilers.

Obviously now let's build up the tension. I'll go through who wrote each one. He invented the ice cream float that was written by the house. Love the house. The champagne one. That was written by the house. Love the house. The champagne one. That was also written by the house. Okay.

No points up for grabs for the house now. No. The first Galapagos Island tortoise to arrive in Europe. That was written by Jackson. The fact that... Now, get ready to arrive in Europe. That was written by Jackson. The fact that now, get ready to find this out. The fact that he returned a second time from his

forced exile in Malta. That was written by Adam Cannavale. Shit. Shit. So that's one point for Adam. Make that two, because it was correct. He was attacked by a herd of bunny rabbits. Oh my god. That was humiliating. Sorry, we didn't do it last time.

Could we do the full score this time? Okay, so on the bottom is Jackson. That's okay. It's a good place to be. And gently holding feet with the house is Adam Cannavale. I'll come back. This is my background. You're only one behind.

Yeah, exactly. You could pull an Adam and then we'll call it pulling a Jackson. I don't like how quickly those got coined. All right. So the next one comes from Eli Fisher from Houston, Texas. And the question is, what is the nickname of retired NBA center Joel Prizebilla? What is the nickname of retired NBA center Joel Prizebilla?

An NBA center is a person, not a building? Yes. The center is the biggest guy on the court. Oh, like netball? Yeah. Is that true? I think the centre's normally the smallest person on the court

in netball. They only get one letter on their bib. That's true. That is a good point. I hadn't thought about that part of it. In my mind, I'm like, oh, they're the special one. Their bib's different. Cass, let me tell you a bit. While they're writing their answers, and you don't have to know about sport. It's a nickname. It could be anything.

You just gotta know about nicknames. You gotta know about bullying It could be anything. You just got to know about nicknames. You got to know about bullying. Oh my God, Adam, do you know about nicknames? I've never been given a nickname in my life that wasn't mean. What about Carnivale? You don't need one. You have the best surname of all time. Yeah, what are you doing?

Well, I was once, a bully did once call me Fardinale in primary school. I've got to give it to him though. That was pretty funny. That's really solid. It sounds like you're well equipped for this question then. In primary school. I've got to give it to him, though. That was pretty funny. That's really solid. It sounds like you're well equipped for this question, then. You'd think. Joel farts biller. Done.

Yeah. Good point. Is that your answer? Jeez, I hope you haven't put that down. Let me tell you a little bit more about this incident with Napoleon and the rabbits. This comes from Mental Floss. There are a couple versions of this story. Napoleon and the rabbits. This comes from Mental Floss. There are a couple versions of this story.

Most agree it happened in July 1807 after Napoleon signed the Treaties of Tilsit, which ended the war between the French Empire and Imperial Russia. Looking to celebrate, the emperor proposed a rabbit hunt. Some say they organized hundreds of bunnies, while others claimed they collected as many as 3,000. When Napoleon was ready, the rabbits were released from their cages and the hunt was on. But something strange happened. The rabbits didn't scurry in fright. Instead, they bounded towards Napoleon and his men. Hundreds of fuzzy bunnies gunned it for the world's most powerful man. Napoleon's party had a good laugh at first, but as the onslaught continued, their concern grew.

their concern grew. The rabbits allegedly swarmed the emperor's legs and started climbing up his jacket, which is a real sensitive spot. Yeah. Sacre bleu. It's wild that they're saying they're hunting the rabbits, but these are pre-hunted rabbits. If they've already caught them, that means they learned.

Unless they were in captivity and then... For war. Napoleon tried shooing them with his riding crop as his men grabbed sticks and tried chasing them. The coachmen cracked their bullwhips to scare the siege, but it kept coming. That's all horse equipment. They're too small.

Yeah. That's a good point. That would have scared a horse, not a rabbit. Napoleon retreated, fleeing to his carriage, but it didn't stop. According to historian David Chandler, with a finer understanding of Napoleonic strategy than most of his generals, the rabbit horde divided into two wings and poured around the flanks of the party and headed for the imperial coach.

The flood of bunnies continued. some reportedly leapt into the carriage the attack ceased only as the coach rolled away they finally won by just leaving running they fled yeah they fled they got defeated do you reckon they've embellished this with war tactics so that it wasn't as embarrassing. They're like, well, they were organised. They had a plan. They were blindsided. So as it turns out, and I think Adam was about to mention this, the reason for the weird event was rather than trapping wild hares, his men had bought

tame rabbits from local farmers. As a result, the rabbits didn't see Napoleon as a fearsome hunter. They saw him as a waiter bringing out the day's food. That's so cute. Where's this guy's carrots? They were so excited to see it.

That makes it all the more embarrassing for Napoleon. The rabbits just wanted a freaking vegetable or whatever. Imagine if he just gave some of these. He would have been fine. Wow. All right, so the answers are in for question number four. What is the nickname of retired NBA center Joel Prizebilla? Here are your five options.

The Prize-ident. Okay. Godzilla or Zilla for short. Faster James. Faster James. The Vanilla Gorilla or Prisa Minnelli. So Joel Prizebilla, one of these five options is his real nickname. The President

Zilla after Godzilla Faster James The Vanilla Gorilla or Prisa Minnelli? I think I'm going to go the Vanilla Gorilla. I think I'm going to go the Vanilla Gorilla. Okay. I think I'm going to go Zilla or Godzilla.

Fantastic. This is such a crap shoot. This could have been Foster James, maybe. Well, I think we both know that. It's not true. I can't wait to ask questions about how that came about, but this is who wrote the answers. Prisa Manali, that was the house.

Okay, all right. Very good. The president, also the house. Oh. You had fun with those ones. Faster James, that was Adam Cannavale. Can you talk us through that? So I was going to type something with his name,

and then I thought Faster James would be funny. You were wrong. You were not wrong. You were bang on. I thought it might have been a LeBron James pun or something, but I couldn't quite figure it out. Do they compete in the same sport? Okay, that means two options left

And they're the two that you picked Zilla, named after Godzilla, which Adam selected That was Jackson The correct answer is the Vanilla Gorilla What did I say? What did I say was gonna happen? And then it happened Don't get too cocky, it's too early in the game

Jackson pulled off an Adam there Yeah, you suck shit, you did a Jackson It happened and then it happened. It means Jackson... I'm fucking Nostradamus. Don't get too cocky. It's too early in the game. Jackson pulled off an Adam there. Yeah, pulled off an Adam. Yeah, you suck shit. You did a Jackson. Gotcha. I've still somehow come out victorious. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors,

like high blood pressure developed during pregnancy, which can put us two times more at risk of heart disease or stroke. Know your risks. Visit heartandstroke.ca. And Cass, I'll give him the next question, then I might get a score check with numbers, because I've been confused by how you've been doing it so far with the one of us is grabbing feet, one of us is the butt. I haven't really.

It's fine. I've got a system. It's a beautiful picture you've painted. All right, here's question number five. We're past the halfway mark. There's only seven questions in the game. Oh, my God. So three to go.

This one comes from McKenna Middlebrook of Newark, New York. And the question is, which song by Frank Losa was released as an American patriotic wartime song in 1942? So you've got to give us the name of a patriotic American wartime song from 1942. Okay. And you've got to know these are normally pretty silly, but it's up to you. Do it. Write it as you like.

Okay. Thank you. I can be funny. I can be serious. Not everything has to be a joke. Okay. Good to know. Well, not necessarily. Whatever. You thank you. I can be funny, I can be serious. Not everything has to be a joke. Okay, good to know. Well, not messing with you though. Whatever, you do you.

And while you're writing your answers, Cass, here's a bit more information on Joel the Vanilla Gorilla Prasbilla. Oh, it makes sense when you say it all together. Yeah. So he played 13 seasons in the NBA for Milwaukee, Atlanta, Portland and Charlotte. Is that 13 years? 13 years, yeah. I don't know. Is that 13 years? 13 years, yeah. I don't know if it's 13 Gregorian calendar years,

but it is like 13... Oh, yeah. I saw the light leave your eyes just then. Oh, my God. Do you need to crowd the hood again? There we go. Pop you back up. Bit of energy.

I was just looking ahead at the next paragraph and it is all pretty dull basketball stats. Well, we put in our answers. His other nickname was The Thriller, which is also pretty good. That is good. Probably the most interesting fact I could find out about him was that his name is Joel,

and he married a woman named Noel. That's awesome. I used to work at a cafe, and there was a couple, and their names were both Pat. I thought that was crazy, and we called them the Pats, and we hated them.

Having a nemesis as a cafe is very funny. There was this older kind of like hippie couple and they would come in and we'd be like, oh, it's the Pats. Having a nemesis, it's a couple. That's great, fun. Were you in a couple that was their nemesis? No. Well, it was me and my brother, so.

Yeah, that's like a couple. A couple of bros. A couple of guys. All right, so question five is, which song by Frank Losa was released as an American patriotic wartime song in 1942? Here are your five options. Blood Upon the Rises, God Bless America, open bracket, and God Explode Our Enemies, open bracket, and God explode our enemies, close bracket.

Sorry, I actually didn't hear the entire thing. God bless America, and God explode our enemies. Beautiful. All right, sure. The third option. Oh Enemies. Beautiful. All right, sure. The third option, oh, macaroni, oh. Okay. Fourth option,

praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Or finally, no more Mr. Nice Uncle Sam. or finally no more Mr Nice Uncle Sam laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter

laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter

laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter

laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter

laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter

laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter

laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter

laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter Then a single one seems real. Oh, I'm so scared of picking your answer. Do you need to hear them again? Yeah, let's hear them again.

We can eliminate some. All right. You got blood upon the rises. That sounds feasible. God bless America and God exploit our enemies. Less feasible. Oh, macaroni. Oh, there's an exclamation mark after each word. Maybe.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Or no more Mr. Nice Uncle Sam. I'm going to say... I'm going to say... Oh, my God. I'm going to say no more Mr. Nice Uncle Sam. I'm going for it. Stop in the dark.

I'm going for it. I scarily think I know the answer to this one. Is it praise the Lord and pass the ammunition? We'll lock that in. Is that cheating if he already knows? Being clever is not cheating. Seems like cheating to me. All of the answers

you've known are just about army. You love army. I do love army. You're a big army man. Oh, who's a big army man? All right, let's go through

who wrote the answers. Blood Upon the Rises was written by Adam Cannavale. Okay, all right. God Bless America and God Explode Our Enemies. That was written by Adam Cannavale. Okay. All right. God bless America and God exploit our enemies. That was written by The House.

Oh, Macaroni. Oh, that was written by Jackson. Can you talk me through this? This is in the same sort of world as Faster James. I was reminded for some reason that there was this guy in the 40s who wrote a bunch of novelty songs about a really rude donkey. And they all had names like that. And that's how I got there.

Okay. Yeah. That's all pretty straightforward. Yeah, I think so. So one of you is correct, that means. Could it be Adam who already said he knows he's correct? Oh, but how far to fall. Jackson went with no more Mr. Nice Uncle Sam.

That was the house. So Adam was correct. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition was the real song by. Do you want to hear a bar? Yeah, let's hear it. You're going to laugh at the one line I know from this song. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. And that's about all I know.

Do you have any other lyrics for us? Look, yeah, I can get those lyrics for you. Surely, it's out of copyright, right? No way anyone's maintaining the copyright on praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Surely not. Are you worried Matt's going to do Too Perfect a Rendition? We're going to have flags that can't pose this? He's going to trigger the YouTube algorithms.

Can you search Oh Macaroni Oh and see if it's a real song? I don't know how fun it is, but because Adam knows the melody or whatever, I guess you should probably sing it. Oh no, don't do this. Adam, here we go. Don't do this to me.

Everyone with me? Down went the gunner, a bullet was his fate. Down went the gunner and then the gunner's mate. Up jumped the sky, Pilot gave the boys a look And manned the gun himself As he laid aside the book Shouting Praise the Lord

And pass the ammunition Praise the Lord And pass the ammunition Praise the Lord And pass the ammunition And Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition and we'll all stay free. Nicely done. Imagine if Frank Kosoff,

whatever, who wrote the song, imagine if he could see this. Single tear running down his eye. Holy shit. It feels like it's hard to go on with the game now that we've peaked. That was fantastic.

Hey, can we get a quick... Speaking of peaked, can we get a quick score check? Because are we tired? Yeah. It's fours across the board. How many more questions do we have? There's two final questions

How many are about army? And how many are about basketball? Golf It was basketball, yeah Alright, here's question number six This one comes from Janet McLean from London Question is Someone gasped.

London? Did you hear that gasp? Yeah. London? London is listening to this podcast. The question is, which of these is a real species of fish? So you've basically just got to write up a made-up species okay sure sure sure uh so the score check was we're all on four everyone's on holy shit that hasn't happened before probably

so we've heard the song do you want to hear a bit of the background of the song? Yes. Absolutely. This is from the Smithsonian. On a Sunday morning in December 1941, a chaplain had his most difficult assignment, to say a prayer to sailors aboard a U.S. Navy ship actively under low-flying attack by the enemy, firing from all directions. He quickly realized the best he could do was walk the ammunition line, saying the phrase,

praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. And it just blew up. It became this thing that army people told each other, did you hear about that priest who said, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition? And then it blew up so much that the story became that he said, get off that gun, pass me the ammunition, I'll take him down. All of a sudden the priest is like shooting planes out of the sky. That's awesome. So it sort of blew up out of proportion a little bit. And it got back to Frank Loesser and he wrote the song about it. That's amazing. Yeah, but it was a big hit.

It went to number one on the Billboard chart. That's wild. That's crazy. Imagine turning on the radio being like, oh, hell yeah. Honey, they're playing our song. But it charted in the top ten with multiple different versions, different singers. Oh, my God.

It was a massive hit. Were any of them top ten at the same time? No, it wasn't a Macarena-style scenario. Is that what you're thinking? Damn. Yeah. Been thinking about the Macarena ever since your answer. Well, I found out somebody messaged me that Oh Macaroni isn't a song,

but Raw Macaroni is. Okay. So I was kind of right. You're getting feedback from the room? From the crowd, yeah. For a second there, I'm like, someone's listening from, oh, over there. I'm like, how have they already got the... It's out.

Question number six. Second last question. It's tense. And everything's on the line now. It really is. I mean, if I'd been consistently losing, this would be fine. But the fact that I'm up there. And we hadn't discussed payment yet, but I was thinking

maybe the winner gets paid. Come on, the hell. Yeah, that's not a bad point. I don't like this. You set the rules and determine who gets paid? No, they were wrong again. Be nice to your boss.

No, I think we'll all get paid fairly, I'm sure. Okay. So here is question number six. Which of these is a real species of fish? Here are your five options. Okay. Spiny lumpsucker. Spiky nutfish.

Double swing thing-marlin. Yummy fish. Or finally, glob flibbly flob blob-a-lob fish. Okay. What am I to do with this?

What am I to do with any of these? This one, it was really hard to keep a straight face when you sent your answers in. I was like, I can't laugh. No, I couldn't. I couldn't have given it away. Can I get the first? I'll give you all of them.

Any one of them could be it. I don't think it's the globble, globble, globble fish. That's actually my front runner right now. So you got spiny lump sucker. Okay. Spiky nutfish. Okay. Double swing fin marlin.

It can't be the double swing. Yummy fish. Or glob flibbly flob blob blob fish. You know something I realise I keep doing? I keep conferring with you. I keep being like, do you reckon it's this, Adam? Oh, we're back to a foot five. Oh, we're back.

We're working together. That's how you play the game. Maybe if we figure out how to tie, we can both get paid. We gotta be so careful. Okay. I think there could be a... What was the first one? Spiny lump sucker.

I think there could be a fish That's spiny and sucks lumps So I'm going spiny lump sucker Baby put me down For glibbly glib glub one Whatever that is I'm throwing caution to the wind That can't be right What are you doing?

Literally Alright let's go through The answers then The double swing fin marlin That was written by the house. Okay. Great fish. Good fish.

I saw a movie poster of Wayne's World when I was writing it. And that's if you want to know my process. Yeah. The yummy fish.

That was written by Adam. Okay. Fair enough. That's so funny. The spiky nutfish. That was written by Jackson.

So that means one of you has picked a house answer. One of you has picked the correct answer. How are you feeling, Adam? About the same as I felt before. The glob flibbly flob blobba lob fish was written by the house. Meaning the correct answer is the spiny lump sucker. It's so bad to be in the lead, dude. Well, the house is in the lead.

Yeah, but between us. So that's one point to which the house and the Jackson. House and Jackson are tied. Oh, it's bad. I need to be on the bottom. I suffer at the top. That means going into the final round, anyone could be the outright winner. Because two points are up for grabs, of course final round, anyone could be the outright winner. Because two points

are up for grabs, of course. Well, Adam would have to try, Adam. Well, he would. You'd have to get two right. No, I have to get

one right and you have to guess mine. Yeah, exactly. The odds are in my favor. Yeah, because you're leading. That is typically how it works.

Let's go to the house! Oh, man, that's so funny. Alright. Did you hear someone said you got this? It's the best. I've never felt like I've been playing college football in America before, but it feels awesome. Alright, the final question comes from Faye Johns in Queensland.

That didn't get a gasp. London got a gasp, Queensland dead silence. What the hell is that about? The question is, what is the plot, what's the synopsis of the 1964 film Lemonade Joe? I love this. I'm going to need a minute. I'm going to need a moment.

So you might need a little bit more time to write this one out. Obviously, these will be the longest answer of the night. So you've got a lot of facts about that fish. I do, Cass, and I've got to tell you, it's not that interesting. So feel free to jump in whenever you like. Oh, some of it's a bit of fun. All right, here we go. This is according to Scientific American.

This is about the spiny lump suckers. They come in various sizes, some adorable, such as the Pacific spiny lump sucker, which on average grows to around 2.5 centimetres long. You've got to see them as well. They're just basically a circle or cylinder. Oh, so they're a lump that sucks. They don't suck lump.

What's the word? Cylinder? Like a ball. Sphere? Sphere. Thank you. I'm not good at maths. All right.

So they're a kind of fish. But there's a version of them as well, the Cyclopterus lumpus, which can get as long as 55 centimetres. Oh, Jesus. An important part of Icelandic cuisine for centuries, the males are considered a delicacy, while the females apparently taste horrible. But they are sold for their eggs.

They make good money for their roe. They're pretty awful swimmers thanks to their round bodies and tiny fins and when disturbed they tend to flap around aimlessly in different directions. It's not some... No, they're very... Oh, no, yeah, you're right. Unflappable. That's fair. I don't know. Are they very yeah, you're right. Unflappable. That's fair.

I don't know. Are they very flappable or are they unflappable? I should have just said what you said was better. I try to fact check your... Actually, I still find they're very flappable. No, you're right. They're unflappable. They can't flap.

Can't flap. Well, it sounds like they can flap. They just can't. It's not a productive flap. It's not a productive flap. It's a shit flap. Shit flap. Shit flap.

Okay, fantastic. So the spiny lumpsucker, also known as shit flaps. As adults, they'll spend much of their lives in the open ocean, the females ending up significantly larger than the males. Nice. And significantly less interested in parental obligations. In fact, the males pretty much do all the parenting. Is that why they can't swim?

During the breeding season, lump sucker males and females migrate inshore to meet and spawn. The males will arrive before the females so they have enough time to prepare a suitable nest, usually in a bedrock crevice. Once the females arrive, carrying around 100,000 to 350,000 eggs each, they'll deposit a batch in the nest of their choice and leave. I'm sorry, they're carrying 300,000 eggs and you're like, they don't really do much in the way of parenting.

I thought you were an ally. I'm reading... hundred thousand eggs and you're like, they don't really do much in the way of parenting. I thought you were an ally. I'm reading off the website Scientific American. I'm not. I obviously think they do a fantastic job. But they drop them off and leave and never be seen again. Oh yeah, well the dad found a hole in a wall. Parent of the year.

Well, yeah, Cass, I haven't told you all the things that the dads do. Oh, yeah? The males then use their suction discs to anchor themselves next to their brood and spend the next three to eight weeks defending the eggs, ensuring they get enough oxygen by waving water over them with their fins. Oh, so the fins do do something. They're perfect for giving your babies air. Once the eggs hatch,

the males then leave to live a solitary life in the open ocean. Just hanging out. The ultimate man cave. Men being men. Just guys. Yeah, I'd recommend you looking them up. They're great looking fish.

They can suck a lump like it's nobody's business. Rock and roll. All right, so your answers are in for the final question. You confident in your answer, Adam? No. Okay. The question is, what is the plot of the 1964 film Lemonade Joe? Here is your first option.

Four children make fast friends with a charming hobo who knows the location of a secret lemon orchid. Orchard. That's the one that's the trees. Wait, no, are they both trees? It's orchard, right? It's a kind of tree, yeah. Together they create a fast-selling, immensely popular lemonade

whilst dodging the police and Lemonade Joe's fiery ex-wife. That's option one. Okay. Option two. Joe is an average guy running the lemonade stand at Yankee Stadium. After an accident, he gains an incredibly powerful pitching arm. Soon, Lemonade Joe is the star pitcher for the Yankees. Oh, hot damn.

That's option two. Option three. A sharpshooting lemonade drinking cowboy hero comes to town to save the day. In response, the townspeople open an all lemonade saloon, which angers the local whiskey barons. If that movie's not real, it needs to be. That's option three. Option four.

Lemonade Joe is an educational film about the dangers of socialism. The titular Joe struggles to make any money as he is forced to comply with the dangerous mother, a stand-in for the 1960s socialist-style committee rule. The movie concludes with Joe deciding that he is much happier and better off in the United States of America. When did Lemonade Joe come out? 1964. Or finally, Joe was born with a rare condition.

He was made entirely of lemonade. How would you do that in a 1964 movie? How does that come through? His family needs to do whatever it takes to protect him. Otherwise, the thirsty town bully will make good on his threat of drinking him to death. Oh, my God. Okay.

Can we get those again, please? Do you want to get in full? All right. Four children make fast friends with the charming hobo who knows the location of a secret lemon orchard. Together, they create a fast-selling, immensely popular lemonade whilst dodging the police and Lemonade Joe's fiery ex-wife. Joe is an average guy running the lemonade stand at Yankee Stadium. After an accident, he gains an incredibly powerful pitching arm. Soon, Lemonade Joe is the star pitcher for the Yankees.

A sharp-shooting, lemonade-drinking cowboy hero comes to town to save the day. In response, the townspeople open an all-lemonade saloon, which angers the local whiskey barons. Lemonade Joe is an educational film about the dangers of socialism. The titular Joe struggles to make any money as he is forced to comply with the Dangerous Mother, a stand-in for 1960s Soviet-style committee rule. The movie concludes with Joe deciding

that he is much happier and better off in the United States of America. Hey, no more Mr. Nice Uncle Sam. Or finally, Joe was born with a rare condition. He is made entirely of lemonade. His family needs to do whatever it takes

to protect him. Otherwise, the thirsty town bully will make good on his threat of drinking him to death. Okay. Oh, this is so hard. I'm gonna guess that it's the softball pitcher, the guy who gets in an accident and gets a superpower. Okay.

I'm gonna go the communism one. Communism? Was that the one where he was made of lemonade? Yeah. No. Okay. Tragically not. Okay.

Unless that was about communism, him being made of lemonade? Who gossped? Someone in the audience. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I finally get it now. It's the only person who's seen Lemonade Joe, but now they get it. Oh.

Of course. And are you locking in that baseball one, Adam? He said. What are you doing giving him an out? But it could go either way. Why would he be trying to trick you? I don't know. I'm asking all of you. Are you both locking don't know. I'm asking all of you.

You're both locking your hands in. Yeah, I'm going made of lemonade. I'm going made of lemonade. Are you sure? It's got to be one of them. How could it not be?

What was the first one? The first one was Four Children Make Fast Friends with a Charming Hobo. That sounds too much like Jackson, though. I'll go with that one, then. All right, now, I feel like I've confused you.

Yeah. I'm going to give you a quick version of each one and then you make your choice, okay? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get in your head there. It was meant to be fun. You got in his head. You're running the game. I'm meant to be getting in his head. I've not done any of that.

So we had the four children making fast friends with a charming hobo making lemonade. We had the guy who ends up playing for the Yankees. We have the lemonade-drinking cowboy hero coming to save the day. We have the educational film about the dangers of socialism. And we have Joe being born with a rare condition. He's made entirely of lemonade. Is it the cowboy?

I'm really stressed that you haven't ever, in picking all of them, picked the communism one. Well, one of them had to be lost. That one sounded like you. What are you locking in? Maid eliminate. Maid eliminate. I should have stayed with that.

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I can maid eliminate too. All right. Let's go through the answers. Jeez, you know Jackson. Well, four children make fast friends with a charming hobo. That was Jackson.

How did you know? What about that gave it away? It's got you written all over. You might as well sign Jackson Bailey. Was it the fiery ex-wife? Oh yeah. It was every element of it. Every word was more Jackson than the last, to be honest.

Lemonade Joe becoming the star pitcher. That was the house. Was that what I guessed again? That's what you guessed first. I don't have bad news. That's what you guessed first. I just ripped off the plot of Rookie of the Year. Only he had an accident.

He didn't run a lemonade stand. All right. So of the last three we had, Joe was born with a rare condition. He's made entirely of lemonade. That was The House. We gave The House two fucking points, dude. We fucked up, man.

That's one point for The House. I'm so sad you didn't. Jackson, mate, Jackson, it's either the socialism film or the cowboy film is the correct answer. Unfortunately, it is the cowboy film. No! Meaning Adam gets a point there from Jackson as well. One point to the house, one point to Adam.

But the correct answer was it was a Czechoslovakian film and it was a communist propaganda film. What? That person was right. It was all about, you know, commercialism. The soft drink in the film was like a parody of Coca-Cola. Of course, of course, of course. It was their official, Czechoslovakia's official submission

for the 37th Academy Awards for a language category. Did it win? Yeah, how'd it do? It was rejected. But apparently in the 80s Mikhail Gorbachev introduced measures to limit Soviet alcohol consumption and he got the nickname Lemonade Joe. It was so popular.

Oh, that's great. That's so good. Time Out magazine called it one of the strangest films ever made. All right, Cass, I guess it's time for the final score check. And I don't like winning this game. I hope I didn't. But let's see how it went. Well, I've got great news.

None of you are going to be happy. In equal last place, you've got Adam and Jackson on five points. Yeah. You could call that equal second place. I could have. And first place on six points is The House. Well deserved. Yeah, The House absolutely deserves those points.

Jeez, that was clear. Could have gone any way. Could have gone any way. Finally, The House wins. Yeah. Thanks so much for joining us everyone before we finish up do you want to tell the listeners at home
