Maybe just the world.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I don't know if any podcasts have been invented in the last few months. I don't think so. No, unlikely. None that I've heard of or listened to. We would have heard of them. We would have heard of them. I've got a Google alert for new podcasts. The word podcast.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Yeah. My email, I get a billion a day. It is exhausting. So are you ready to begin? I don't know. Dave, what do you reckon? I'm ready to begin, but I'd also love to know what this show is for people who have never heard it before.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Well, that's what I'm going to do. I do that in the show. That's the beginning. That's how the show starts. Okay, then you are ready to do it. I'm asking if you're ready to do that. I'm ready to do it. Oh, you're ready to do the intro.

This is a very exciting time. I might even put the theme in. Okay. It only goes for eight seconds. Yeah, go on. Evan Munro-Smith made it and it is fantastic. Let's do that here then.

Let's skip to the third draft. Okay. Let's stop mucking around and waste everyone's time. I'm having fun. Oh, no, you want to throw to the song? Yeah, cool. Here's the theme song.
Starting point is 00:04:17 That's professional. Welcome 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 Do Go On's own Jess Perkins. I'm also joined by Do Go On's Dave Warnicky. Not Do Go On's own. No, no, no. Yeah, I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:04:44 I'm the one who is owned by Do Go On. That's right, and don't you forget it. Huh? one who is owned by Dugong. That's right. And don't you forget it. Okay. That's right. We made you, kid. Getting a bit too big for your boots there, kid. Out there thinking you can do other stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Yeah, we're taking 30% of everything you make. We are your managers. That's not a bad little slice of the pie. Yeah. And your dads. Yeah. My daddages. I like it. You know, there's momages. You. My daddages. I like it.
Starting point is 00:05:06 You know, there's momagers. You're my daddages. I didn't know about momagers, but I like you. Like Kris Jenner. Yes. She's a momager. Of? The Kardashians. Oh, I thought like maybe a McDonald's franchise or something.
Starting point is 00:05:21 I think so. Is she a McMomager? She's a McMomager. Anyway. Great to be here. Thanks for having us. Thanks so much for being here. So we're doing a mini episode of the show to give listeners a little taste.
Starting point is 00:05:32 If you like what you hear, you can subscribe to the show. I've already recorded episodes with guests such as Dave Warnicky. Dugo On's. Dugo On's own. I'm claiming him now. Oh, my God. Jess Perkins, rented by Dugan sometimes. Cass Page, Zoe B, Nick Mason and Sammy P.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Now, you might be wondering how the show works. Well, it's pretty simple, really. I ask a question and the contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. Then I read their answers as well as the real one and they guess which one they think is correct. Okay, are we ready to play? Ready to play. Lock it in.
Starting point is 00:06:06 So we're just doing three questions this week. It's a mini version. Normally we do seven. It's about an hour-long episode. This should be about half an hour, although the amount that I'm over-explaining things, it may still go for the full hour. Let's see. The first question comes from listener Rachel Johnson from Melbourne,
Starting point is 00:06:22 and the question is, what is a psychopomp? Psychopomp. What is a psychopomp? Psychopomp. What is a psychopomp? I have a good one. Once you've got your answer written, send it my way. That's a good sign. That's a sign. That's a good sign.
Starting point is 00:06:43 That's a sign. I love when Jess is tickled by her own answers. While they're writing their answers or laughing about them, I'll explain how the scoring works. You get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point if you correctly guessed the answer. By the way, I'm you correctly guess the answer. By the way, I'm also playing as the house. Oh! I've put in two of my own fake answers for each question,
Starting point is 00:07:16 and I get a point for each one of those that our guests choose. So each of us can score up to two points per round. It seems fair, but apparently the probability favors me. The house. And the house always wins, unless you've listened to previous episodes of the show and you'll know that that is hardly ever true. Anyway, our questions come from our great Patreon supporters.
Starting point is 00:07:38 And if you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com. And that'll be linked in the show notes. Okay, now let's have a look. Dave's still tippity tapping away. Jess got hers in very quickly. Can you see my Etsy yet? Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:54 No. I was kind of hoping it would be a surprise because that makes you laugh. I was kind of hoping it would be a surprise because that makes you laugh. I'm in. I'm so excited. Oh, I cannot wait to hear what that mind has come up with. You won't know it's mine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Your answer. Jess Birkin's here. My answer is. Are you ready? Ready. Okay. My answer is. Are you ready? Ready. Okay. Psycho pump. So, yeah, the question is, what is the definition of the word psycho pump? You have five options.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Okay. Okay, Jess, poke a face and poke a laugh. Okay. A Norwegian orchestra that reinterprets classical pieces as death metal songs. That's Jess Perkins right there. A chin strap used to attach large hats to people's heads. A spirit who guides the recently dead to the afterlife. A ceremonial hat often worn while leading a marching band.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Or my ex-wife? You look up psychopom in the dictionary. What do you see? A picture of my ex-wife. She took everything. I'm crying. I'm crying. Okay, so I think that the Norwegian one was clearly Jess's joke answer,
Starting point is 00:09:37 but that's how I'm going to look in on my ex-wife. Can we hear the answers one more time really quickly? Sure can. So you've got a Norwegian orchestra that reinterprets classical pieces as death metal songs, a chin strap used to attach large hats to people's heads, a spirit who guides the recently dead to the afterlife, a ceremonial hat often worn while leading a marching band, or my ex-wife. Was there instructions on how to deliver that
Starting point is 00:10:06 or have you just nailed it? No, I'm not. Sorry, am I saying that differently to the others? My Ex Wine. Jess, any theories? I kind of want it to. I don't think it's a tin strap. I'm going to say it's the Norwegian Orchestra.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Okay. That's what I'm locking in. Norwegian Orchestra. Okay, I'm tossing up between my next one. I'm tossing up between the other band one or the other hat one, sorry. The hat one for a marching band? Hat one for a marching band or the afterlife one. Yeah, but I don't know where psycho comes from with afterlife.
Starting point is 00:10:42 What does psycho mean? That's a good point. I don't really know. It must mean something psycho mean? That's a good point. I don't really know. It must mean something, right? What's a psychopath? Well, and then like psychology and psychiatry. So it's like the etymology of psych. Jesse, are you looking it up?
Starting point is 00:10:57 Well, she's already locked in her answer. Okay. I'm just going to go with. Oh, psych comes from Greek meaning breath, spirit, soul, mind. That's really influenced my answer. I'm going to go with the marching band. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Okay. I'm like, well, normally you wouldn't allow Jess to basically help that much, but Dave is not accepting the help. I will not. I refuse. Fuck you. She's made up a Google definition of her own over there. We already know she's good at making up definitions.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Yeah, very good at it. She's right in your head now. All right. Here is who wrote the answers. Chin strap used to attach large hats to people's heads. That was Dave Warnicke. That was Dave Vornike. That was me. Absolutely. Because you've got a weird shaped head so you need
Starting point is 00:11:50 devices to keep hats on. But I have a regularly shaped chin. We had My Ex-Wife. That was written by Jess Perkins. What? Surprise you there Dave. Bit of a shock. So you didn't just lock in your own answer of Norwegian. No I didn't. I thought that was strange. a ceremonial hat often worn while leading a marching band that was the house no boo you just delivered a point straight into the through the front door of the
Starting point is 00:12:15 house yeah well i've also thrown a brick through your window so up yours house uh well that brick was attached to a point from jess perkins Perkins because the Norwegian orchestra was also written by the house. The correct answer was a spirit who guides the recently dead to the afterlife. I really thought you were messing with me there. Interesting. I did not know where psych came from. And it doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the context
Starting point is 00:12:41 that we use it in now. Where does pomp come from? Maybe you'll answer that. Yeah, maybe you'll answer that. use it in now. Where does pomp come from? Maybe you'll answer that. Yeah, maybe you'll answer that. Will you answer that? I can't remember. I wrote something down a while ago. Because often you've got a little bit of information about it.
Starting point is 00:12:53 So I won't do too much research on my own because I'm sure you'll answer my questions. We're up to question two now. Can we just have a score check? Yeah, quick score check. Quick score check. The house is on two points. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Jess, you're on no points. Okay. Dave, also on no points. All right. Equals second. That's pretty good. But if we add our scores together, surely we beat the house. Surely.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Or multiply them. Yeah, zero squared. Yeah. Take that house. Damn it. Fuck you, house. Fuck you, house. I'm going to burn down your house.
Starting point is 00:13:21 All right. So question number two comes from Nathan Bauer from York in the UK. The question is, in Star Wars Episode I, The Phantom Menace. I'll take this. A female Yoda can be seen on the Jedi Council, but what is her name? So in Star Wars Episode I, The Phantom Menace,
Starting point is 00:13:39 there's a female Yoda, which of course is Yoda with a long hair wig. Yep. What is her name? While you're writing your answers out, I can tell people a little bit more about Psycho Pomp. Classic Psycho Pomps include the Egyptian god Anubis. Anubis.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Anubis, thank you. Or Greek ferryman Charon. Charon. Who we've had on this very show before. Yeah, what? Or one of our podcasts we talked about. Caron, Sharon. Yeah, and we said it wrong then.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Sharon. Sharon. We yelled Sharon. Ah, yes. But that's fun. Also Roman god Mercury and the Norse Valkyries, but they appear in many different cultures in many different guises such as anthropomorphic entities, horses, deers, dogs,
Starting point is 00:14:27 whip-paw, wheels, ravens, crows, vultures, owls, sparrows and cacoos. When seen as birds, they are often seen in huge masses waiting outside the home of the dying. I've heard of that. You know, I think Charon. Charon. I think it's the hippo from Moon Knight. I reckon this is exactly the conversation we had last time.
Starting point is 00:14:44 And then we just yelled Sharon a few times. Sharon. All right, so the answers are in for question number two. In Star Wars Episode I, the Phantom Menace, a female Yoda can be seen on the Jedi Council, but what was her name? Oh, fuck. I just thought of a better one. Anyway, keep going.
Starting point is 00:15:02 It's not too late. No, it's fine. We've all thought of better ones. I'll tell you later. Okay, great. All right, here are your five options. Nog stinkly. Yodel whoop.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Yaddle. Yodelina. Or bar bar bonks. Oh, tough. Nog stinkly. Yodel whoop. Yaddle. Yodelina. Or bar-bonks. Oh, tough. Nog stinkly. Yodel whoop. Yaddle. Yodelina.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Or ba-ba-bonks. How did you keep a straight face through any of those? They're all batshit. First one again. Nog stinkly. Yeah, I don't think it's nog stinkly, but it genuinely could be any of the others. It could be.
Starting point is 00:15:43 It could be nog stinkly. Honestly, but I've obviously got an advantage here because for It could be. It could be Nog Stinkley. It could be Nog Stinkley, honestly. But I've obviously got an advantage here because for my ninth birthday, I was given a Darth Maul hat at my ninth birthday party. Did you have a psycho pump to keep that on? Yeah, yeah. Had a psycho pump. But my favourite character was, of course, Nog Stinkley.
Starting point is 00:15:59 And I was disappointed when I unwrapped the hat and it had a picture of Darth instead of Nog. That is upsetting. And the evil version, Darth Nog Stinkley. Now that, that's where it's at. Okay. So Dave's saying you're locking that one in? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:16:15 No. Can I hear them again? Yep. Nog Stinkley. Thank you. Yodel Whoop. Yaddle. Yodelina. Or Baba Bonks. I'm going to go Yaddle. Yodelina or Bar Bar Bonks. I'm going to go Yaddle. Yaddle for bot. I love Nog Stinkley and I love Bar Bar Bonks so much.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I'm going to say Nog Stinkley. Okay, yep. Yeah, it's great. It is good. If it's not right, then it's not right. You know what I mean? Because if we told, like it had been another character, what's this character called? And it shows you a picture of Jar Jar Binks and Matt read that out.
Starting point is 00:16:48 We'd all be laughing. Of course. That's the stupidest name ever. I know, which is why Ba Ba Bongs. Ba Ba Bongs. Seems to me. Jar Jar Binks, Ba Ba Bongs. So you're locking in Nog Stinkley.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Nog Stinkley. Okay. I want to believe. All right, let's go through the answers. Yodel Whoop. That was Dave Warnock. It's actually pronounced yodel whoop. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Sorry. Sorry. That would have changed everything. That would have changed everything. Okay. Do you want a pity point for that? Sure. Don't give a pity point for that.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Don't give a pity point. You also said my last answer in a weird intonation and I didn't get a point for that. No, that's true. I mean, do you want one? It's not how I would have delivered that. Oh, can I have a pity point? Can we both have a pity point? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Exactly. But the house will have no pity points. No one pities the house. No pity for the house. All right. I'll give you each a pity point. Thank you. You had a whoop.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Sorry, that's how when I celebrate, that's what I say. And mine would have been my ex-wife. Oh, yeah. Yeah. My ex-wife. My ex-wife is essentially what he was doing. Was I? I apologise.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Yodelina, that was Jess Perkins. That's funny. But what was the funnier one? Yodelay hee-hoo. Would have been way better. Ba-ba-bonks was the house. Boo. Nog Stinkley, also the house.
Starting point is 00:18:09 No, come on. Yaddle was correct. Jess Perkins gets a point. Her name is Yaddle. Yes. That was a total guess because they all sounded fucking ridiculous. So plus your pity point, you get two points that round. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:21 No, your pity point should have been round one. But you are on two points. Two points. Dave, now with a pity point should have been around one so you got yours but you are on two points two points dave now with a pity point is on one i feel like that it shouldn't have an asterisk next to it it should just be a point okay but we all know yeah it's a pp point a pp point okay what's this what's the second piece it's point but it's a bit like atm machine you know yeah and then i'm one of those people that's like, actually. Yeah, exactly. And that's why you get a pity point.
Starting point is 00:18:49 I learned recently that the B in Humphrey B Bear stands for bear. Oh, that's good. Humphrey Bear Bear. Bear Bear. Bit of fun. All right. So quick score update. Dave on one pity point with an asterisk next week.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Sorry, is that what you asked me to do? Is that what you want? Yes Yeah that's exactly right Great I want the people to know Dave sorry here we go Dave on one very special boy point Thank you
Starting point is 00:19:17 That's what I want it to be called The VSBP Jess is on two points Both legitimate But out in front is the house on three points. Nothing legitimate about the house. But we could combine our skills and take down the house. Combine our points?
Starting point is 00:19:32 Yeah, let's do it. Okay. Are you happy to take on my VSBP point? Yeah, but we've got to work together in the next round. Okay. Okay. Great. So we're up to the final round.
Starting point is 00:19:42 And on this show we love to finish with a movie synopsis. And this question comes from Harris Dava from The Fortress of the Moles. Oh. In brackets, not that one, the other one. Oh, okay then. Thank God. Phew. Might be one of the friendly ones.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Yeah, that first one. Not a good place. So your question is, your final question, and you each got two points up for grabs. So this is anyone's game. Yeah, but we're going to work together. So I reckon, Dave, just make it really obvious that it's you writing it. That's right.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Movie plot. Fake. Fake movie. And then that will narrow down what we're choosing from and then we can take on the house. Okay. Dave, you might lose your pity point if you play those, but that's outside the scope of the game.
Starting point is 00:20:26 We'll be upgraded to a real point. Yeah. So your question is. I'm ready. A BB point. What is the synopsis of the 1999 film The Straight Story? What is the synopsis of the 1999 film The Straight Story? While you're writing your answers,
Starting point is 00:20:43 I will let the audience know a little bit more about Yaddle. According to Nathan, the question writer, after 40 years of history in the Star Wars universe, Yoda is one of the few characters, if not the only character, not to have his species named. It is still one of the big mysteries of the franchise. Dave, is that enough to get you in? I know you don't love Star Wars as much as you did as a kid. Yeah. Is that the kind of thing that will get you back in, the mystery of Yoda's species?
Starting point is 00:21:15 Yes. Maybe they could do a Disney Plus series dedicated to that. I'm in. I feel like they're going to explore every character, aren't they? They're going to just wring that thing completely dry. If not, why not? According to the Star Wars fandom page, Yaddle, a force-sensitive female being of the same species as Grandmaster Yoda
Starting point is 00:21:35 and Grogu, was a Jedi Master and member of the Jedi High Council during the last years of the Galactic Republic. during the last years of the Galactic Republic. She trained a Thispian Padawan, Oporancisis, I mean, you know, sort of this goes to what we were talking about before, who eventually joined Yaddle on the High Council by the time of the invasion of Naboo.
Starting point is 00:22:03 In 32 BBY, Qui-Gon Jinn brought the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, to the Jedi Council on Coruscant. I'm so sorry, Star Wars fans. They are screaming at me. And I've watched every live-action Star Wars thing. I'm watching the current one, Anne Boleyn, or whatever it's called. It's not that. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:22:26 My apology is only going to offend them more. But I've seen them all. I haven't seen the cartoons. We've seen it. But, yeah, I'm not good with pronouncing words. It's good because you talk for a living. Yeah. So Qui-Gon Jinn brought Anakin Skywalker to Coruscant where he met Yaddle.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Sorry, what did you call me? Oh, dear. And the Jedi elders. After the Battle of Naboo, Yaddle took a less active role in the Jedi Order's affairs and was no longer on the High Council by the time of the Clone Wars. Can you tell Dave to hurry up? I've put mine in, but I've accidentally.
Starting point is 00:23:02 What are you tippity-tapping away on then? What are you tippity-tapping away on then? Because I hit enter before I wanted to, so. So are you just starting again? I don't think I can. Yeah. So then what are you doing? Seeing if I can start again.
Starting point is 00:23:18 What are you, hacking into the mainframe? What are you doing over there? Don't worry about it. All right, all the answers are in. Dave was not able to get into the mainframe yet. Like just before, you have to stick with your first answer here. Yeah, you can't change it to yodel-ay-hee-hoo. Damn.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Matt did say you did have a chance to change it. You just decided not to. I just started laughing again thinking about my ex-wife. My ex-wife. It's funny. It's good stuff. All right. Here are your five possible answers for the synopsis of the 1999 film
Starting point is 00:23:54 The Straight Story. Here we go. Okay. A slow TV movie following a journey from Adelaide to Darwin as the crow flies. A man in his 70s goes on a road trip from Iowa to Wisconsin to see his estranged brother using only his ride-on mower. A disgraced PI and no-nonsense journalist team up to investigate the murder of a nightclub singer.
Starting point is 00:24:18 They have to sift through the lies and muck in order to get the straight story. In brackets, the story. Do they say that in the movie? I hope so. I'm just trying to get to the straight story here. Wink. At the height of the Y2K crisis, Dr. Chris Carter yells out,
Starting point is 00:24:41 Hey, Dave, that's not a real movie synopsis. That's my ex-wife. What was the doctor's name? Chris Carter. Wow. From the X-Files. Incredible. Yeah, I guess, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:56 So it was sort of based on a true story. That's not my ex-wife. Okay. This is it. I mean, we're trying to show the listeners how this show works and I think someone here isn't taking it that seriously. I'm trying very hard. So, Dave, lift your game, please.
Starting point is 00:25:14 It's a little bit embarrassing that you're saying that someone's not taking it seriously. They are beating me. Two to one. Wait, what do you mean? The house isn't taking it seriously. Well, that's very inappropriate. Finally, six boys are arrested for stealing the class cat,
Starting point is 00:25:29 each with their own version of events. Can the cops ever get to the bottom of the straight story? Do I say that to the camera? These all sound so good. Love them all. I'd watch them all. Can we hear them one more time really quickly, Matt? When I get back to Hollywood, sit behind my desk,
Starting point is 00:25:46 if I see any of these scripts land there, I'm green lighting them straight up. All right. So here are the options. Straight story up. Yes. A slow TV movie following a journey from Adelaide to Darwin as the crow flies. No. Potentially early for a, I don't know when slow TV came.
Starting point is 00:26:04 What year did this come out? 99. A man in his 70s goes on a road trip from Iowa to Wisconsin to see his estranged brother using only his ride-on mower. A disgraced PI and a no-nonsense journalist team up to investigate the murder of a nightclub singer. They have to sift through the lies and the muck in order to get the straight story in brackets, the story straight.
Starting point is 00:26:27 At the height of the Y2K crisis, Dr. Chris Carter yells out, hey, Dave, that's not the real movie synopsis. That's my ex-wife. That sounds compelling. Y2K, that was very relevant in 1999. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Or six boys are arrested for stealing the class cat, each with their own version of events.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Can the cops ever get to the bottom of the straight story? So, Dave, I'm obviously pretty disappointed in you in that I said let's work together and then you did nothing to help me. It's pretty obvious which one's mine. I don't think it is because they all sound dumb. Also, if you were trying to rig it, you'd want to guess the other persons, right? Why? Oh, to give him a point.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Yeah. Oh, yeah, but I have the best chance of beating the house. Yes, right. So, yeah, for you to get maximum points, you've got to get the right answer and you want Dave to pick yours. Sorry, Jess, I am a lone wolf. All right. And I'm playing the team.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Have fun then. Sorry, I've just turned you guys against each other. Have you? I guess we'll never get to the bottom of the straight story. The hunter has become the prey. Dave, what do you think? Do you want to talk us through the board here oh talking through the board i wish i could that's what they always say wish i could um first one i feel like yeah a
Starting point is 00:27:51 little bit early for slow tv maybe uh the ride on moa that's really that's got my attention yeah as does my ex-wife she's got your attention yeah yeah yeah she will not stop calling and i will not stop not answering and and then we had the two that referenced the name of the movie. Yeah, the two that referenced the movie. Which I know you and I are big fans of. I love when they do that. Jess, you a fan of that? Love it.
Starting point is 00:28:13 And when they do it in the IMDb plot, that's the P.I. thing. That sounds like it could be a movie, you know? Disgraced P.I. and no-nonsense journalist. I mean, I'm loving it who are we who are we casting in that I'm gonna go
Starting point is 00:28:28 The Mower Right on Mower Right on Mower for Dave straight story yeah I wanted to do Right on Mower you can
Starting point is 00:28:34 there's no there's no reason why you can't maybe I'll do The Journalist and The PI so one of the ones that references
Starting point is 00:28:40 the movie title yeah because if you if you get if you guessed one yep it's up to you Because if you get, if you guessed one, yep, it's up to you. What? If I what? Well, if you, you know, it's just up to you.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Just try and pick the right one. But like I tried. I'll read it out again and if you want to get it still, lock it in. A disgraced PI and no-nonsense journalist team up to investigate the murder of a nightclub singer. Yeah. They have to sift through the lies and the muck in order to get dot, dot, dot, the straight story, in brackets, the story straight.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Yep, that's what I'm going with. Okay. Why are you laughing? I don't know. All right, well then, which one do you think I should pick? They had me until the brackets. All right. Does IMDb do that?
Starting point is 00:29:26 Well, no, these aren't necessarily from IMDb. Me and the house, we- You watch the movie. We rewrite. We, you know, we write it in our own words, basically. All right. So here are who wrote the answers. The story about the cats, that was Dave Vornike. There was one about cats?
Starting point is 00:29:45 Yeah, six students. Oh, yeah, Yeah, six students take the class cat. I think I believe that one as well until the, can the cops ever get to the bottom of the straight story? It doesn't make any sense. Neither does the title of the movie at all. How could it make sense? How could it make sense for any of these? At the height of the Y2K crisis, Dr. Chris Carter yells out,
Starting point is 00:30:07 hey, Dave, that's not a real movie synopsis. That's my ex-wife. That was Jess Perkins. What? Yeah, that Dave in it was for you specifically. Holy fuck. I thought about writing Dave Warnicke, but I thought, no, he'll get it. I did not get that.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Wow. There's a lot of Daves out there. You've got to be specific. That's true. There's a lot of Dave Warnockies out there. I'm not going to assume it's me, but my date of birth in brackets. I might pin them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Would you know? A slow TV movie following a journey from Adelaide to Darwin as a crow flies. That was The House. Boo. As was a disgraced PI and no-nonsense journalist teaming up to investigate. That was also The House, meaning the correct answer was a disgraced PI and no-nonsense journalist teaming up to investigate. That was also the house.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Meaning the correct answer was a man in his 70s goes on a road trip from Iowa to Wisconsin to see his estranged brother using only his ride-on mower. Yeah, it's a famous auteur, surprisingly, David Lynch. Oh, really? There you go. I'll read a quick review synopsis in a second. These movies are famously difficult to write down what is going on.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Yeah. So the score update is Jess on two points, Dave on two points, but out in front it's the house on four points. Wow. But if we combine our scores, we equal the house. Yeah, scores level. You said not moments ago I'm a lone wolf. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Fuck off, lone wolf. You misinterpreted my tone. When I say a lone wolf, that means I love being with you. No, you don't. No, fuck off. What? You keep your two measly little points. One of each was a pity point.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Can I just say, if the house were to team up with me right now, we would crush Jess Perkins. Are you willing to do it, house? Will you take me in? I mean, I've already given you a pity point. Leave him on the freaking porch. Let me in. No.
Starting point is 00:31:57 I want to win. Stay outside, you dog. Fuck. Can we do the next four questions as usual? I reckon I'm getting the hang of this. Well, that's the thing. Three questions isn't enough. This is a little taster.
Starting point is 00:32:08 But, yeah, the other episodes. Episode one you were both on and that one went down to the wire from memory. Great fun. I really enjoy making this show. And Dave and I are going to be doing some live ones in the UK in just a couple of weeks. Yeah, coming up in November we're going over for some podcasts, some of which are Who Knew With Matt Stewart,
