And of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your elvish, elders, elated for elixers and eleganza. I'm Chris.

I'm Bill. Oh, I'm Danny. Oh, we get to be part of it. Yay. Karen, before we start, who are these people? What are they doing? Who are you? Are these people?

Who are you guys going, Danny? Yes, maybe some people have not seen the other, or not listened to the other episodes that we have appeared on. We have a show called Escape This podcast where we have guests come on. You have been those guests before to play through audio versions of escape rooms full of puzzles and story and characters and weirdness. Beyond that, we're also just big old trivia enthusiasts. Danny, where are you ranked in the World Trivia organization? Don't make me do that. I have a ranking somewhere. I don't scroll down

far enough in the list, though, to worry. But you are ranked. Yes. Oh yeah, you just do enough of the quizzes that are technically international quizzes and some dedicated person out there actually goes through and keeps regular scores of everyone in the world who does them. Next weekend, I think I'm doing national quiz championships. Oh, they

sound so intense. It's go to a meeting room at a hotel near the airport and you spend all day quizzing. That sounds pretty fancy. They got good pancakes usually and yogurts and little cups. That's all you really want. At the airport hotel

Yep. All right. Well, without further due, let's jump into our first general trivia segment, pop quiz, hot shot. Here I have a random to the pursuit card. You guys have your barnyard buzzers slash other buzzers. What do you guys have? I've got a goose sound effect. I'm just going to wing it. Don't even worry about it. Here we go. Let's answer some questions. Blue Edge for geography. Which country didn't grant its first divorce until 1997, becoming the last country in Europe to allow it? Wow. Whoa.

My eyes are very... That wasn't your eyes? That was my buzzer. Is it Switzerland? Incorrect. They took a while to give one in the votes. They're weirdos. Everywhere.

All right. Everybody gets a guess. Okay. All right. Ready? Don't be offended. at me. Ireland?

It is Ireland. Okay. All right. Okay. Republic of Ireland. Deeply, well, it's deeply Catholic. I was going to go Vatican City for similar reasons. Oh, okay.

Maybe they, I don't know. That's true. What? I guess. Is anybody, I'm sorry, is anybody married in Vatican City? Oh, interesting. Oh, oh, oh. Google can't be trusted particularly well anymore for the first things that show up.

on it. But when you Google it, it does, I am seeing you can't divorce in Vatican City. Cannot? Cannot. Okay. I don't know though. Ooh, I'm actually... This feels like a deep dive topic for another day. That's interesting what you can and you can't do

in Vatican City. That sounds like a good song. All right, here we go. Pink Wedge. Called Vatican City. Pink Wedge for pop culture. Which iconic costume did Raquel Welch wear for her role as a cavewoman in the 1966 film One Million Years BC? I don't understand what it's asking for. Chris? A leopard fur bikini. Yes. I see.

Next question, Purple Wedge. Which dazzling, nighttime art installation of flames on water originated in Providence Road Island in 1994. Chris, we're the only. person from New England area. How often was the water on fire? Nighttime art installation. I'm not familiar with this one at all.

Green wedge for Science of Nature, which acidic kitchen staple can dissolve a pearl. What? Oh, yeah, so. Danny? It's got to be vinegar, right? It is vinegar. But why would you? Yeah.

Oh, Bill. Would that be Jazzercise? Jazzercise. Jazzercise. Woo, good job, brains. And I believe you guys have a special surprise for us. I have my own stack of trivia. Oh, yes. Australian Trivial Pursuit.

It is always on hand. Now, I will say, for everybody worrying, this is not like Australia themed. It's just made for Australia. It's what they sell. Yeah, sure. So we're not going to get a Rhode Island art installation question. Right, right, exactly. It's not questions about Australia. It's localised. Sometimes they'll sneak in.

So let's have a go. Let's do another card. Here we go. Everybody ready? Let's rock and roll. I'm the dog. Okay. All right, we're blue wedge for geography. Papa Doc and Baby Doc Duvalier ruled over what Caribbean country between 1957 and 1986 I think that was Karen?

Oh, sweet. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. And specifically, they were the elite guard employed to protect the Roman emperors, but they did also kill a couple. All right, the purple arts and literature. What was Mozart's final work? Ooh, interesting. All right, well.

I thought it was going to be like quidditch I thought it was a sports that starts with Q these are Q sports not Q sports how could you become so confused

so what so what was it billiard it was billion or snooker Danny you're buzzing in it's a one in three chance I'll take the first shot snooker I'm so sorry you're a big dumb idiot oh dang I can't believe it Chris? Billiards. Billiards.

You're the smartest man in the world. It is billions. Wow, incredible. Billiards would have been my last choice. I would have said Snooker also by increasing order of obscurity. You know what I mean? Like everybody plays pool. People used to play billiards.

I've heard of Snooker, but I couldn't tell you in any way like how you would play it. For me, it's the order pool, pool, snooker, billiards. I don't know anything about how to play billiards. But snooker, they still play on. TV. They're like, and he's lining up for the shot. Very British. He's very slowly taking a shot up and there it is. He's pocketed it into

whole six. I don't know how they watch the UK trivia scene will have famous snooker players show up as questions. They're obsessed with snooker. Oh, woo! All right, today's episode. As you know, every episode of Good Job Brain, we usually have a topic and then we all

make quizzes and segments and research all about that topic. But every fifth episode, we have a grab-back quiz episode. So get ready today. It's all Quiz Bonanza number 57. I'm happy to go first with this one. So I decided I wanted to go into a field that we all know and love games. Yay! And you know what I love about games more than anything else? The legal side of producing them and all of the great fun that comes along with that.

Yeah. I really, honestly, I just thought, what's a good emotion to get you started when you want to be motivated to write a quiz? And I thought anger, what is something in games that makes me angry? And I thought about the specific games Shadow of Mordor. Are you familiar with that video games? And there was a bit of a controversy that left people feeling a little bit salty towards it because Warner Brothers patented an amazing game mechanic that happened in there, stopping other studios from being able to use this mechanic,

even in places that it would have fit so well. And it just left everyone disappointed. And I decided to look up some game-related patents to see who owns what and what is specifically connected to certain games. So going into board games and physical media was a more interesting one for this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what I've got, I have found a few patents online. But I wanted to see if you could pick what game or gaming related device I am talking about

when I give you the name of a patent. Some of them, if they're a bit too general, I've also got a little bit of a description, some of the quotes from the patent that might help you get more of a picture in your head. And you can buzz in when you think you know these ones. So let's take a look. Number one, game with action-producing components. Action. It's quite general, isn't it?

It is general. Bill, what do you think? I just want to go hard on my first guess. I think a game with action-producing components is a patent for Mousetrap, the board game. It is Mousetrap the board game. Oh, fantastic. So general. That's so general.

I'll give you the quote. Yeah, that was amazing. A game comprising a game board, including a track, defining a plurality of stations and having a starting point, a plurality of game pieces for movement along said track from station to station, a cage, a support for said cage adapted to maintain. It keeps going very wordly and specific. But yeah, eventually you can see what it is. Wow. All right.

Number two. tricky strategic pattern building game pattern building strategic pattern pattern pattern when do I build a pattern I can start reading

from the description from the descriptive quote Yeah sure A marker matrix configured to receive playing markers along an insertion edge Ooh Here you're coming in again?

Yes. Is it Connect 4? It is Connect 4? Yeah! Wow. It's all about the insertion edge. It really was. I didn't even get up to the horizontal rows and vertical columns part.

Oh my gosh. I love it. Okay. I got, I think this one's a pretty easy one. The description, the description is very much already what the thing is. You just got to give me the common name for it. Icosahedron decimal dice

Karen 20-sided dice It is a D20 a 20-sided die You can't have a patent on a dye It is very interesting Get out of my courtroom

There are plenty of these things as well That were patents granted Once upon a time In the 50s or so That have since lapsed I should have mentioned that Your outrage may be well placed It may not

I place it well. They suggest using this in board games, lotteries, stock market determinations, scientific work, and other applications where random numbers are needed. All right, next one. Oh boy, we're back to the general. Game having multiple game activities.

Game having multiple game activities. Game with multiple game activities. The game kit includes a game playing surface, marked with a plurality of indicia, a plurality of markers for positioning on the indicia of the gameplaying surface, and a plurality of decks of cards, where in each card bears instructions for a player to carry out an activity. I don't know what, it feels like it's like an articulate-style game, but you're just given people things to, is it like?

Yes, Bill? Is it like cranium? This is cranium. Oh, okay, okay. There you go. You have to do a few different types of... You have the creative, you have the physical, you have... Right.

That's exactly right. I was just trying to think, what's a game like that where you don't just do the same thing every time? All right. A little bit broader now. Think a little bit of field. Okay. This one is a premium acquisition game device and method of operating premium acquisition game device. Premium acquisition.

I think I'm ready to buzz again. Oh, go for it. Yeah, Bill, what do you reckon? Is it like a crane game? Is the crane game? Oh, like the UFO catcher. Wow. Yeah, UFO catcher.

Absolutely right. Yep. Yeah, it talks about specifically having arms that open and close and a method of operating that arm. Does it say in the patent only grabs 10% of the time? All right, just a couple more. Di-agitating chance device. Di-agitating chance device. Di-agitating.

Phil, you want that one. I know what this is. Is it trouble? Is that what you think, Chris? Oh, yeah. Pop-O-Matic trouble. Pop-O-Matic trouble? The popping device of the game, trouble, absolutely.

A flat span with a snap action portion. The advertising writes itself in this one. All right, this one, super easy. You're going to get this one immediately. It'll be a buzzer race. There's just a little bit in the pattern I wanted to talk about. This is stacking brick tower game. Chris.

Jenga. Absolutely, that's jenga. I honestly, I haven't played much jenga. It wasn't one of my childhood ones. But I just wanted to read this quote. Bricks of a variety of different types are provided, with each type having different physical characteristics. What?

Such as shape, size, surface configuration and or coefficient of friction? Would that be sweet? Like different surfaces. Was that how it started and it just sort of got planed down over time? Well, actually, here's the question, are the Jenga bricks actually, like? Are some of them slightly bigger, smaller, slightly slipperier? They seem the same. Everyone, get out your Jenga sets and just feel them for a while.

Tell us the results. Come back later when you're done. Just two to go. Next one. Again, I think this one's also pretty easy one. Game Utilizing Electric Probe. I think that was, ooh, Chris or Karen, who do you reckon got that? can guess operation.

That's absolutely operation. I learned a lot about how the electrical circuits in that game worked. Now that game gave me so much anxiety as again. I believe that the actual

game operation, it started out not at all in its current form. It wasn't a human body. It wasn't an operation. Technically, but the actual gameplay mechanics were still exactly the same. So it got carried on patent-wise

and that was the pattern that ended up going sort of with operation. What's his name? He has a name. you had like a lot of quizzes about uh like changes like sam i want to say sam yeah right cadaver sam or something maybe maybe it's not cadaver so he's not dead yeah oh yeah he's not dead you're right he's cavity sam i've just found i've just googled up yes cavity sam there we go well last one and this was just my favorite so i had to put it last apparatus for playing a game wherein the

players constitute the game pieces. Twister. That's Twister. So they got a patent for the Twister mat as long as humans are the ones playing it. As long as it's people. So if I, okay, so if I get four dogs to play Twister, it does not infringe on the patent. Well, I mean, how knowingly playing the game are the dogs?

I suppose it really depends on the intelligence of the dog. They're colorblind. Oh, they're really smart dogs. The Twister one, it includes the phrase, entwine his body in a pretzel-like manner around the body of an opponent, sensual. I know, is that the kama sutra or the twister pattern? That's the next quiz.

Kamasutra or twister pattern? I'd love it if the, if like the twister pattern, it was just like, entwines his body, brackets, not sexually like a pretzel and another player in brackets, non-sexual, close brackets.

It also does advise you that it might be that the person falls because of an awkward position or by being overpowered strength-wise. So I think there's a bit more wrestling and traditional twister than we think. The patent wants you to fight for position. A little bit. Danny, I didn't think there were people like me who read patents for fun. And I'm so glad I found you. And that you're like, oh, I'm going to read about some board game patents.

And so, yes, that is my ideal Thursday night activity. The hardest part was whenever I found a good one, not just yelling it out to Bill immediately. Ah. All right, my turn, I'm going to tell a quick personal story that's tangentially related to my quiz. It's more like a PSA. So I play Pokemon Go, and so I go on walks every day. And I was recently on a walk. And I was hearing this sound.

It's like really loud. thuds almost like little bombs going off you know sporadically i was like what's going on turns out it was these trees and there were dropping nuts fruit tree things onto the hood of the cars that that were hard you know but they're not like acorns and they're like bing bing ding ding bing it's like boom boom boom and then i looked down the sidewalk was covered in chestnuts i don't know if you guys what a chestnut from a tree like fresh chest out fresh chestnut i don't know what looks like it's got a spiky covering yeah oh okay gotcha gotcha it has a hedgehog spiny rind as they fall and hit all these cars they get split open and i'm looking at the ground i was like look at this it's all chestnuts

on the ground i can i can be like a forager so i grabbed all these chestnuts from my pockets i was like oh man i'm you know what i'm going to do i'm going to roast them i like on my walk back I looked up the recipe to like how to roast chestnuts. And so I get home and I tell my husband, I was like, I got a surprise. And he's like, oh, what's your surprise? I was like, look at these. And I was like, yeah, I picked up chestnuts off from the ground. I'm going to roast them.

We're going to eat them. And he's like, so you just picked up like garbage from the ground? I was like, yeah, don't worry about it. It's all peeled and stuff. He's city folk. He doesn't understand. I follow the instructions. You soak it in water and then you make like a little cut on the shell.

and then you roast them in the oven, smells great, open the oven, and I put one in my mouth, and I immediately spat it out because it tasted like poison. It was bitter. It had, the texture was so similar. And I was like, maybe something's wrong with this one. So I ate another one. They were all bad. And I was like, oh, man, maybe this is like bad chestnuts on the ground.

Maybe it was on the ground for too long. I don't know. I looked up the recipe to how to rose chestnut, but I didn't really look up, are these chestnuts? Yeah, should I roast these chestnuts? Is it a chestnut? Oh, no. Turns out they are horse chestnuts. Okay, yeah. Oh, I've heard of that.

Similar to chestnuts, but everywhere you read about them says they are very poisonous, do not eat. Yay. Well, that's just rude. That makes sense. because there's so many on the ground. It's like the animals don't want to go near them. There's no other humans thinking of the same boy trying to. Open these all up, taking them home and being like, oh, he hit the jackpot.

So big PSA, everybody, what looks like chestnuts on your street might not be edible chestnuts. They might be poisonous horse chestnuts. Hey, I got to tell you, I'm looking at pictures of chestnuts versus horse chestnuts. They're the same thing. Like this is very much a cross-your-finger situation Oh my gosh Anyways, so back to my quiz Sorry for this tangent

So I mentioned that the chestnut fruit Looks like a hedgehog And after I spat out the horse chestnut I was like oh what a that's a funny word Hedgehog is a really funny word So I looked up other names for Hedgehog I found Fuzz Pig These are all

All former English words for hedgehog. Fuzz pig, hodgin, prickly pig, hedgey boar, perpentine. Hedgebore. And poachin. And urchin, which until I read that, I was like, oh, in order for a sea urchin to exist, there probably was a former urchin that was on land. There was a base urchin. Yes, the prime urchin.

And that's what it... Wow. But now it's a situation where, like, we just call sea urchin as urchin. So this got me thinking about archaic former English names for animals that all have that kind of old-timey feel, old-timey construction, you know, like imagine you're a gangkeeper groundsman in the English countryside. Sometimes these words, they have like a sing-song. cutesy quality, like hedgehog, roly-poli. And then there are some of these names that are matter-fact, logic-based names, like dragonfly, fly that looks kind of like a dragon.

Okay, cool. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you some old, retired, archaic names of an animal, and you all have to try to guess what animal is it. I would say this is a group effort, talk amongst yourselves. Oh, okay. Love it. What is really interesting is that even though we don't use a lot of these words anymore, you still find like lingering parts in the English language.

So this is an example like Cobb. It's a spider. And this is where Cobbweb comes from. Oh. Yes. Cobwebbs. Wow. All right.

Here we go. First animal. You're going to give me a group answer. A foggy. A bum bog. A Hummerhorn They're all words for the same animal All right

This has got to be automaticaic, right? This is a thing that makes a noise A foggy Oh, okay A bum bog A bum bog? Yeah, bum bog Don't like it, don't like it

Hummerhorn Hummerhorn Hummerhorn, I feel like I've heard Hummerhorn before There's one last one that might give it away A Dumbledore Yeah, I was going to say, is it a Dumbledore.

I have heard that one. It's a bee, isn't it? Like a honeybee? Oh, a bumblebee? Yeah, bumblebee is a Dumbledore and a Hummerhorn? A bumblebee. Bumblebee itself also sounds very... Yeah, it doesn't feel like we went from one of these two bumblebee.

It feels like they're all the same. It's a bumblebee. It's a Dumbledore. It's a hummerhorn. It's a blimbleblam. We'll just stick with bumblebee. Just stop it, bumblebee, please. All right.

Next one. a flitter mouse or a flutter mouse I feel comfortable hummingbird or because of German in German a bat is a flater mouse Oh very good okay So presumably when they're literally just taken

It's just when English was German They were like By calling it a flitter mouse we made it just that much more adorable Yep yep yep Is that a mouse? No no nine Is there a mousse? Correct.

Mouse with wings. Yay. Next one. A gluton. Horny wink. No. Natterjack. Paddock.

That's P-A-D-D-O-C. Paddock. Paddock. Like Haddock, but with a P. Gluton. And a horny wink. Natterjack. Oh, these are all words for, like a nun in Austria, I think.

A flibbitty gibbet, a will of the wisp, a clown. For me, they sound like a bird that won't shut up. Yeah, the mattering, right? Like, nattering on. I'll tell you what the baby version of this animal, their names include Polywog and Polywig. Oh. Oh, that's like a toad, right?

Oh, really? Like a Pollywirl. Oh. Like Pokemon. Right. After all the chestnut conversation, I was thinking, oh, just like the Pokemon Chespin and it's evolutionary line, I forgot to go back to Pokemon. It's about Polly Rats and Pollywills and Pollytoads.

So Natterjack and all that, that's a frog. It's a toad and, of course, Pollywag, Pollywake are tadpoles. Here's one, everybody. What is a mere swine? It's a mere swine. That's German again. Oh, it is? Well, I know meershine shin, and shin just usually means little at the end.

So I'm hoping it's the same thing, or at least a very closely related thing. I'm going to go with whatever you think it is, in this case. A meershween shin, I believe, is a guinea pig. Oh, so it's. So those sorts of things. Oh, it's not? Oh, it's something different. M-E-R-E-S-Wine.

M-E-R-S-S-Swine. If we're going more literally, schwein, is pig. Mere, not spelled quite the same way, but is sea or ocean. Like it is in a few European languages. What other sea pigs are there? Is it like a seal or something? Like a seal could just be a sea pig. I was like, that's a sea dog.

Okay, a walrus. A walrus is a sea pig. That's kind of pigish, yeah. It's dolphin. It's dolphin is a sea pig. Dolphin is a sea pig. Do you think it's because it's got the skin of a pig? I feel like a dolphin has the skin of a pig

I feel like you see it It's kind of just like hair Yeah but not really come on Look at those pink losers Like a big fat hairless pig You're like that's a land dolphin If ever I've seen one Here is another one

Just one word Todd Todd. T-O-D Todd Todd Todd from work Todd Todd what animal would just be a Todd In the fox and the hound

the fox's name Todd. Okay, okay. Oh, what's on one? It is Fox. Really? Look at that. Isn't that clever? It is clever.

I think for everybody who's listening along at home, that's like a master class in how you answer trivia questions. A hundred percent, absolutely. Like, you don't go, oh, what could Todd be as an animal? You've got no idea, but you find a random cultural reference to be like, wait, I've heard an animal called Tom once somewhere. I've got a hook. That was perfect.

Perfect. That was. In completely my train of thought, too. Copper and Todd, Fox and the Hound. I was like, oh. That's amazing. Here we go. We have a couple names for this one animal.

Emmett. Like the name Emmett. Okay. Meyer and Pissmire. Ha, ha. Wow. And the piss does mean Pee. Okay.

Okay. So, Emmett, Meyer, and Pissmire, and Pissm. I was weirdly, something about the construction of Emmett made me want to go into like the weasily family. It's got weasel energy. I will say they use this animal in heraldry, coat of arms a lot, to symbolize hard work. Wow. Is it may or may not pee a lot? Not a beaver.

It is an insect. Oh, like an ant? Not only like an ant is an ant Emmett, Meyer and piss mire Meyer is ant They say pee ant And it's because like some of the ants they give off a smell They can exude

Yes And that's where they got the name Piss Meyer Pee ants Yeah Is that what? There is some slang things Usually slightly oldy things

But someone is insulting someone They will call them a piss ant Oh you're right That is a thing Oh, my God. Piss, like, yes. Little Pissette. That's a thing.

Well, I'll be. It comes from old English. Comes from an ant. Yeah. I always thought it was Pissant. Pissant. Wow. All right.

Next one, here we go. A washing bear. Aw. Oh. Oh, is it a raccoon? Is it a raccoon? Is it a raccoon? The greatest marsupial of all.

King of the marsupials. I'm assuming. we've all seen the saddest video in the world. Oh my God with the cotton candy? Yeah, the raccoon with fairy floss, the raccoon with cotton candy? Chris, if you've not seen it. I don't think I've seen it. He grabs the cotton candy, the fairy floss, because he's like, I'm going to eat this,

but he's like, well, I'm a raccoon, I've got to wash it first. So he goes to the water, he dips it in, and it just dissolves away. And then he lifts up his hands and goes, what the thing? Where did it go? The saddest little raccoon. Washing bear. Now that king of the marsupial. What is a camel-a-part?

Oh, I know this one. Camel-epard I've got. Chris, can you reason out? Everyone just look at Chris. Well, I've heard this before. This one is still the same in Greek. Oh, yeah. It's a zebra.

Not far. I don't know. What is it? I'm lost. It's a giraffe. Oh, okay. It's like a camel, but it's got spots like a leopard, and it's big and weird and crazy.

Right, right, right. Next one, very poetic. What is an essence peddler? Oh. Oh, yeah. Probably a skunk, I would say. Skunk could be my first guess. My potions are too strong for you, traveler.

What you're buying? Yeah, is it a skunk? It's a skunk. How amazing. All right, next one, my mortal enemy, the candlefly. Ooh. The candlefly. Oh, like a moth because it's attracted to light, you know.

Yep, it is a mom. Candlefly also very, very poetic. And then you got math. Math. Math. Yeah. Last one. What is a Kony?

Oh, that's a rabbit. Yes, it is a rabbit. I just know that because I know it, yeah. Is that the origin of Kony Island? Is it Rabbit Island? It's the origin. Really? It's Rabbit Island.

A lot of Kony's. Well, that's Kony Island. Wow. If you know, the Latin coniculus, Latin coniculus for rabbit. So, Coney. Like Benicula. Bonicula. Yeah, right?

I thought of that immediately. I was like, oh, wait, that's Dracula. That doesn't make sense. That's a whole different pun. These names are great. Why did some of these fall out of favor? You know, a lot of these names, they're so regional. Like, so, so regional.

So people up north say this, but then they call it this in Cornwall, but they call it this somewhere else. And this is my theory, but I think at some point, they needed to standardize due to pressures of tax or, you know, early like wildlife laws or hunting laws or like commerce or and then they're like, oh yeah, we got to all call these the same thing if we're trading three essence peddlers for a for a mere swine, you know, I don't know who's trading. You said it was illegal to kill these dolphins. You didn't say anything about these mareswines. Exactly. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back with more quizzes.

Hey, we're back. And this week, it's an all-quiz. Bill, you're up next? Yeah, yes, I am. But this is a movie quiz. It's a movie quiz for all you movie heads out there who love movies. My big thing here was Danny and I did what everybody did through the pandemic and started doing all like the daily games online, all of the various, you know, the wordles.

Yeah, exactly. All the whorls and the offshoots and all that sort of stuff. And this sort of spawned this whole world of daily games in browser. Everybody loves a daily game now. And one of the games that was on our list for a long time that we used to play was movie to movie. I don't know if anyone else ever played movie to movie. It's a very simple concept. It's like the six degrees of Kevin Bacon kind of thing.

But it will just give you like a starting movie and an ending movie and you go, well, this movie has Mark Wall. He was in this Transformers with whoever else was in that Transformers movie, that that person was in a movie with this person. And then that person was in the second movie. And now I've connected the movies by a link of shared cast. That was sort of the game. And I thought to myself, I wonder if we can do the same thing, but with a twist. And my twist is instead of people who have been in like movies together, I wanted people who have performed the same role. So they've both.

played the same character. They both played the same historical figure. They both played the same whatever. And linking movies by actors who share a role rather than share a movie. Whoa. Okay. The best way to get through this is with an example. So my first question, I've got 10 questions. Question one is the example question. We're going to play it together. Can you get from the best exotic Marigold Hotel to Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship, the fellowship of the ring using a single character so what that means is

there'll be someone from the cast list of Best Exotic Marriott Hotel who in a completely different movie has played a particular character that character was also played by somebody who is in the cast list of Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring. Karen, I think you

said the right one there. I think Judy Dench is good because she's played a queen Yes. Lord of the Rings Kate Blanchet has played Queen Elizabeth as well yes so it's quick doubt so yeah so I would

the answer I have written here is from Best Exotic Marriott Hotel you have Judy Dench who played Queen Elizabeth the first in Shakespeare in Love Shakespeare in Yes Kate Blanchett played Queen Elizabeth in Elizabeth

and Kate Blanchett is in Lord of the Rings Do we see the sort of the format here? Yes very good I like this feels like a good one for a team challenge Okay it is a team challenge, please work together. You don't have to try and do this yourself. Question two, I'm not going to help out this time. Can we do by the same there's a single character jump? Can we go from Shutter Island to Fight Club?

Okay. Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo are in Shutter Island. Decapreo feels like... Who is he played? How would Hughes? That seems unlikely. Yeah, see, like for them to play the same... Oh, Hulk. It's got a... Oh, you're right, of course. Mark Ruffalo played Hulk. As did Edward Norton.

Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So this, okay, good. You've got this one without me. Nice, nice. Shutter Island has Mark Ruffalo, who played the Hulk in The Avengers. The Hulk was also played by Ed Norton in The Incredible Hulk, and Ed Norton is in Fight Club.

Okay. Nice. All right. I think we're all happy here. So, question three. Can we go from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade to Mama Mia? Oh. Oh, easy.

Oh, I got it. Let's go. Indiana Jones' Last Crusade. Sean Connery, who plays James Bond, who's also played by Pierce Brosnan, who's in Mamma Mia. Yeah, nice. Most of these, I'm not getting super obscure cast list things. We're doing it sort of live.

A lot of these will jump right in. All right. We've got another one, question four. Can we get from the movie Long Legs to the, even better horror movie Plan 9 from Out of Space Oh Okay

Nick Cage is in Long Lakes That's the only person I can name Oh I was gonna say Well Superman I mean he did play Nick Cage Superman for like a half second Christopher What was the second movie?

I'm not sure plan nine from Plan 9 from Out of Space How do we get to that? I don't know that. I don't know any of the actors Was that the one that Bella Lugosi was in? Oh are we going then? Oh, Dracula, because Nick Cage was in that movie with Nicholas Holt, the Rem, Renfield.

Renfield, Dracula, and then Bella Legosi. The famous Dracula. Yes, so, Long Legs features Nick Cage, who played Dracula in Renfield. Bella Legose played Dracula in the 1931 film Dracula. And he, in his last movie, was in Plan 9 from Out of Space, a horrendously bad sci-fi movie. He died partway through, right? Bella Lagosie died partway through, and they replaced him with a man

who was 30 years younger, a good foot taller, and then to hide it, he just held a cape in front of his face the entire time he was on screen. No. At least they didn't, like, weaken at Bernie's. You know what I suppose, yeah.

Blessings, you've got to count your blessings. At the time, there probably weren't a lot of laws preventing that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no. All right. Okay. Question five. I would like to take you from a haunting in Venice to Dune, part one. There's a lot of people. Okay, a lot of people. There's Michelle, you know, haunting in Venice, so that's Hercule Perro, that's

Kenneth Branagh. Dune. Dune, part one. I was going to say Willie Wong. But Shalamay Wonka feels good, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But who else? But, God, the Dune casts a lot, too. Mm, big Cush. Jason Mamoa is in Dune. So, like, okay, Timothy Shalameh, Zendaya. Who was in Haunting in Venice?

Kenneth Branagh. He was Hamlet. That's interesting. Hamlet is the right track, but is wrong. Okay, okay. Oh. What does that mean? Jackson.

Different Shakespeare, maybe? Much ado about nothing. It is Kenneth Branagh. Okay. It is a Shakespeare role. Okay. Modern-y ones. Like, there was a modern Macbeth one, wasn't it?

Tragedy of Macbeth? Who's in that? Denzel Washington, Francis McDormand. Kenneth Branner is the Venner side. On the Dune side, we're just going for Timothy Shalame. Can you think of a shared role between Kenneth Branner and Timothy Shalame? Oh, no. I don't know enough about Timothy Shalame.

He did this movie with Robert Pattinson. Uh-huh. I think it was actually a Netflix movie. Oh, geez. It was the king. Yes. It was the king where he played Henry the 5th, also played by Kenneth Branagh in the movie Henry the 5th. Just a filmed adaptation of Shakespeare.

That was a difficulty spike, okay. Yes, Robert Panson played the French prince. There was a lot of like, people really liked the king for its fight choreography because it was quite just, it was just like two guys in armor really just. going at it in the mud. I remember this now. It's all coming back. All right. Question six. Maybe a little bit easier. Okay. We're going to try

and go from fatal attraction to crazy stupid love. Okay. Glenn Close. Michael Douglas. Crazy stupid love side. We have Ryan Gosling, Steve Carrell, Emma Stone, Julian Moore. Oh, oh, oh. Emma Stone

was Cruella, and Glenn Close was Corolla DeVille. Yes! Fatal Attraction stars Glenn Close, who played Cruella DeVille in 101 Dalmatians, live action. Corolla DeVille was also played by Emma Stone and Cruella, who was in crazy stupid love. Wonderful. All right, question seven, we are going from gangsters to gangsters. Can we go from The Godfather to American Gangster? Oh, which one's American gangster?

I always get these confused. I know. I don't know what's in... Denzel Washington. Russell Crow. Russell Crow has played such characters as like Zeus and Robin Hood and things like that. Godfather won. Brando, Pacino, James Khan.

It's got to be Brando or De Niro. Oh, Jean Valjean? Or Javert, rather? Oh, Javert. Sorry, yeah, yeah. Inspector Javert. That's an interesting pick. I like that.

Focusing on Russell, Crow, good. Great. And on the Godfather side, Marlon Brando is where you want to go from. I know. Superman's dad. Superman's dad. I did not know that.

Marlon Brando was in the Godfather. He played Jorrel in Superman. And in Man of Steel, Russell Crow played Jorrell. And Russell Crow is an American gangster. Wow. Oh, wow. All right. I love the difficulty of it.

There are three left. Okay, okay. You're 8, 9, 10. Can we go from Alien to Hot Fuzz? Ugh. Sigourney Weaver. John Hurt? Is that the right one?

Yes, he's the chessburster. Right. And Ian Holm. Oh, God, he's in a lot. He feels interesting. He's played Jack the Ripper at one point. So Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. Is Martin Freeman in that?

If Martin Freeman is in Hot Fuzz, it could be a bill, Baggins thing. Oh, with Ian Holm. Alien stars Ian Holm who played Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings. Who is played by Martin Freeman in The Hobbit and Martin Freeman is in hot fuzz. In fact, Martin Freeman is in all of the Cornetto trilogy.

So you can go for any of them that you'd like. All right. Question nine, this is our last one-stepper. Can we get from the remains of the day to Troy? Okay, so... I know who's in Troy. I don't know Remains of the Day one bill.

Anthony Hopkins is in Remains of the Day. Oh, that's a good pull. That's all I can think of. So made it be Hannibal Lecter. He played Hannibal Lecter. Troy, Brad Pitt is in Troy, Eric Banner. Eric Banner and Orlando Bloom. It's Matt's Mickelson and Troy.

I don't believe so, and I wouldn't count it because it's a TV Hannibal. Anthony Hopkins does feel like a very good pool for this little. There was somebody else who played Hannibal Lecter in. films there were a couple other people who did it but I yeah yeah oh was there a young one or something because there are prequels all over the place Chris is a lambie well there was a manhunter I'm a lambie yes there was there was a man there was a movie of manhunter which was based on red dragon which somebody else played Hannibal lector but I right I don't know who it is and then there was the original movie is that is that is that who it is that's who it is I have no idea what

the person's name is all right who I will say this is this actor this actor did play Agamemnon in Troy and they are more famous now than they ever have been Brian Cox Brian Cox Succession That's it

When you said that And I'm like oh yeah sure Remains of the day Stars Anthony Hopkins Who played Hannibal Lecter in Science of Lambs in Red Dragon That's very funny Because now that I think about that movie

I'm like oh yeah I did look like Brian Cox Brian Cox played Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter and then was also Agamemnon in Troy Amazing, wow Who I didn't recognise when I watched it I had a random clip from Troy pop up on YouTube the way clips get thrown at you now

And I didn't recognise it was Brian Cox But all I thought was Oh man, whoever's playing Agamemnon is doing great Like that guy's just stealing the scene And I was like oh it's Brian Cox, look at that All right Here's the final final question

it will require two separate character jumps but they're pretty chill okay sure sure good vibes I would say and let's do it but it's a chill one

you couldn't ask for a chiller one you'll get it straight away yeah yeah immediately can you get me from lethal weapon to the Northman okay Mel Gibson okay the most

obvious one to go from there, I would think of would be Mad Max and going to Tom Hardy for some reason. Oh, well, Northman is one of the Scars Guard, Alex, Alex Scarsguard. Oh, I don't know that one. There are so many of them. Anya Taylor Joy was in there. Oh, Furiosa. Oh, is Anya Taylor Joy Furiosa? Yes. Fantastic. And then we have Mel Gibson, Matt Max. is Tom Hardy who was in that movie

with Charlize's Theron who played Furiosa and therefore we can go Ania Taylor Joy Furiosa who was in the Northman There you go, you've done it That's a pretty easy two-steper I was planning to do more of them

and it just got confusing as to where you end up movie-wise who they can be it's all kind of got a bit out of hand but if I come back into another one of these one day I'll refine the process and the rules for a two-step there you go here's my movie to movie but it's all about shared roles beautiful that is great good job bill thank you

all right well uh it's an all quiz so i have written a quiz um i'm gonna have you guys i know it is a quiz uh with various um questions so i am gonna i'll just have you guys buzz in with the answers However, you should get out your pad and your pen or whatever it is and just keep track of the correct answers because there is like a question kind of at the end. I'll ask you to do something with it, right? So when the correct answer is revealed, write that down so that at the end everybody has the correct answers kind of written down. Okay? Yep. Great.

Got it? Good. Sheesh. Okay. All right. Question number one, here it is. immediately following his turn as Ivan Drago in Rocky 4, Dolph Lundgren played this 80s action hero.

Karen. That is He-Man. That is He-Man. Really? Really? Yes, in the Masters of the Universe movie. Ivan Drago directly to He-Man. Yep.

He-man. This method of interacting with a computer sounds a lot stickier than it actually is. method. Karen again? Paste. Ooh, I like that, but no, that wasn't what I was thinking. This type of human machine interaction sounds a lot sloppier and stickier than it actually is. The question's getting worse and worse. I know, yeah, yeah.

The category is three-letter acronyms. Three-letter acronyms. This method of interacting with a computer, this type of human. machine interaction sounds a lot sloppier stickier and messier than it actually is wet or mud or something like that oh yeah yeah oh no it'll be good it's actually a gooey a g-u-i-g-u-i stands for graphical interface a gooey a gooey obviously all right these are not these questions are not focused tested in any way folks at all all right next question Alexander Graham Bell wanted to use Ahoy.

But fortunately, Thomas Edison was there to suggest this instead. Bill. Hello? Hello. As a standard greeting for what you say when you pick up the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell wanted it to be aoy. Thomas Edison suggested the then sort of new colloquial greeting expression of hello. As how do you answer the phone?

all right um i'm done the world's largest one of these is stuck in the ground in fairview Oregon i'm done the world's largest one of these is stuck in the ground in fairview Oregon bill like a pitch fork it's a fork you may have heard me cough as I was answering No, no worries. It's a fork. Yeah, it's just a fork. It's not a pitchfork. It's just a fork.

I'll stick a fork in me. I'm done. Stick a fork in me. I just picked you to the farmer being like, that's it. I'm done. Stunk in the ground. Outside a food truck plaza, appropriately enough. Oh, cute.

In Fairview, Oregon, the world's largest fork. All right. Tell your kids to wash their hands so they don't get conjunctivitis commonly called this. Karen probably knows about. this. Pink eye. Pink eye. You don't want to get conjunctivitis, so don't put your hands in gross stuff and then rub your eyeballs, or you get conjunctivitis commonly known as the answer is. Pink eye. This 1977 body horror film marked the feature-length theatrical debut of Twin Peaks creator David Lynch.

Oh. That's not Cronenberg at all. No, this 1977 body horror film marked the feature-length theatrical debut of Twin Peaks creator David Lynch. David Lynch's first feature-length theatrical film. How much body horror is in Mulholland Drive? Not a whole lot, Karen. Is it like sleepwalkers? Nope.

You're thinking of maybe firewalk with me. No, no, no. Like cat people. Oh, no. No. in the interest of in the interest of time it's everybody seems to be drawing a blank on this no 1977 film is eraser head oh amazing some people heard of it there we go I know it I've never seen it didn't know it had body horror yeah I thought I just had a guy

with weird hair yep because you've just seen the front of the VHS yeah that's it that's all I'm saying that's what this movie's about um this colorful type of heavily smoked or cured fish was said to have been used in the past to create decoy scents for dogs to follow. Karen. Is that a red herring? That's a red herring. Oh, red herring.

All right. Last question of this quiz. According to Daryl and John, the subject of this 1982 song is, quote, a she cat tamed by the purr of a jaguar. Heron again. Is that man-eater? It is man-eater.

It is man-eater. All the notes. There she comes. It's a bitch girl. So just to be, so just let me, so let me be sure here. I'm going to hold this up for everybody just to be sure you have this written down. He-man, gooey, hello, fork, pink eye, eraser head, red herring, and man-eater is what you have written down, right? Yep.

Yeah. Okay. Congratulations, everybody, I say. as I quickly step away, leaving the room that we're all in and locking the door behind me. Have fun. It's only just now that you turn around

from the wall opposite the door and notice a message that I wrote on the opposite wall, which simply reads, escape. That's right. We're all trapped in a room, and you have to escape it on a podcast. And the list that you have written down are the objects currently available

in your individual. inventory. Get out of the room. Oh, no. Now, I know we're talking about patents in gaming, and I believe you are infringing upon our patent. Yes, I am, but I am in America, and you are in Australia, and your patents are not viable here.

Okay. I assume the first thing to do is to step on the red herring, throw it out, get rid of it. Is to get rid of the red herring? Okay, you're absolutely correct. The red herring, you look at the red herring and think, oh, my gosh, this is going to be important and then realize that, in fact, it is totally meaningless, and you discard the red herring. Excellent. You can cross it out.

You discarded it. Don't need it. Well done. Okay. All right. Now, you're in a room. Can we look at the door? Oh, yeah, yeah, you can look at the door.

It's a pretty normal door. It has a handle on it with like a keyhole in it, and it's locked. Anything else in the room other than the... the message that says escape. The room is a really super boring room, and it's just like, it's a square room with, like, four walls. And on one of the walls is the door you came in on.

And you're standing by that door now because you sort of ran up to it when I was leaving. And so now you're all kind of standing by the door. You can see across the other side of the room is written the word escape with like an exclamation point on it, on the wall. On the wall to your left is nothing.

And on the wall to your right, there is some kind of object on the wall to your right. Can I look at it with my pink eye? You can look at it with your regular eyes if you want to. You walk up to the object on the wall. On closer inspection, it's a saw, like for cutting wood, like a typical sort of like, you know, wood saw. Okay.

Can we get it? Can we take it off the wall? So you try to yank the wood saw off the wall figuring like this is definitely going to help us get out of the room. Unfortunately, it turns out that the wood saw is attached to the wall via a chain and a combination lock, which is secured with a four-letter combination. Oh.

Yep. I try fork. That does not work. Fair enough. All right. If I put the man-eater and the he-man next to each other, does he-man get eaten? So the items in your inventory, you're going to use the he-man with the man-eater? Absolutely.

So you hand the he-man, which turns out to be a vintage he-man action figure to the man-eater. and the man-eater gives you a look to suggest that you are some sort of giant idiot. And she says, you expect me to eat without a utensil? Oh, see, have a fork. Wonderful. You give the man-eater the fork. The man-eater takes the fork and greedily plunges it into the he-man action figure, causing one of the tines of the fork to break off and fall onto the floor.

The man-eater then proceeds to devour the he-man. And in fact, the man eater eats the he and also the man, leaving you with just a hyphen, which you find to be useless and you discard it. Oh, man, I thought I was like, how cool it would if the hyphen came into play. That does mean we can get a low if we need to, an LLO. If you're ever looking for an LLO, we've got it because we don't get the man-needed to eat the hello. Erase the ad. And we could get eraser ad.

That's interesting. And are we just going to be, like, getting rid of things until we're only left with four letters? Are there just going to be ways to cancel them all out with each other? Is G-U-I enough of a guy for the man-eater to eat it? I would like to try and feed the man-eater the gooey to see if she thinks it's a guy. It's a her. It's a her. She's a man-eater. If she thinks it's a guy, she can eat it. She says, no, this is not a guy. This is a gooey.

And it gets it right back to you. Can we feed man-eater the hello? Uh, the man who takes the hello and, uh, which is, which is like, just sort of the metaphysical concept of hello. Uh, and she pops it into her, um, you know, sort of monstrous jaws and, uh, chew it around a little bit, uh, and then sort of pick something out of her teeth and hands it back to you. It is, uh, and it is L-L-O. Uh, because she's eating the he out of that. Got it. Wow. Chris. I can't believe. I can't believe it. You want to do the same thing? Okay. You, you, you give, uh, eraser.

head, which is a rare VHS copy of eraser head, which is worth like $100 on eBay to the man eater. She regards it and looks at you and says, hey, listen, I could eat your eraser head and the H.E would disappear and you would be left with just an eraser ad, which is just an advertisement for an eraser. And she suggests that this would probably not be helpful for getting us out of the room. So she hands it back. The man eater seems fairly sated at this point. Okay, okay. Yeah, nice. We got a lo-we-

We got a tine as well. Yeah, yeah. You don't have a tine. The tine fell on the floor. Oh, I mean, we can get a tine. Would you like to? Sure. Yes.

Great. You pick up the tine. Now you have a tine. Why do we want a tine? You can cross out fork and put tine because you don't have the fork anymore. Mm-hmm. Something G-U-I make it into a guide, like if we can get D-E. You can combine items together if you see items that may be able to combine together.

we have a time Guatine Guatine Uh huh Oh no Oh no The gooey The LLO from hello

And the time Skilletine Well done Danny You combine the gooey The LLO and the time And now you have a guillotine Oh no We've got to chop off the eraser head

And then we'll get a razor You put the eraser head Into the guillotine And it removes its head. Now you have an eraser and a head. Okay. Well done. We erase the ES from escape and we get a cape. So you might want to go look at that word. Yeah, sure. Let's have a look at it. You go ahead and you look at the word on the wall. There's something funny about the word escape on the

wall. Upon closer inspection, you can actually see that some parts of it are written in pen and some parts of it are written in pencil. Unfortunately, right now it's too dark to really be able to pick out which is which. Not for us. Yeah, we have an eraser. You have an eraser. Erase, eras out all the pencil. So you use the eraser all over the word escape. And it ends up erasing the first E, it erases the C. And just like how American kids vandalize the game, Puckman, it erases just a little bit of the P. The word on the wall now reads, Okay, let's try, let's try putting in safe in the full-letter lock. Wonderful. You walk to the combination lock and put in the word safe.

The lock opens. You now have a wood saw in your inventory. Wood saw or just saw, okay. Saw, wood saw. I'm just, you don't have to worry about the specific verdict there. I'm just letting you know that the saw is for cutting wood. Yeah, I think I'd like to. Oh, yeah, would you like to try something?

Yeah. I would. I would like to saw out the wood, specifically the wood pine, from pink eye, leaving us with key. Wow, what a great idea. You use the wood saw on the pine, sawing away the pine, leaving yourself only a key. God. And then I feed the key to the man eater. Yes, excellent.

The man eater eats the key. Wait for her to poop it out. Man, really. You have to wait for her to poop the key. and once you do, 24 hours later, the key comes out of the man-eater's butt, and it's back in your inventory. All right, well, sure, we know what we're doing, right? We've got a key.

Let's put a key in a lot. We go to the door. You go to the door. You put the key in the handle, and you turn the handle, and the door opens, and there is me going like this against the other side of the door and say, oh, yeah, oh, yes, congratulations. You escaped my quiz. Well, well done, everybody.

Great work. You know how whenever I write rooms and then we have guests come on and show us their escape rooms and I come out of it going, oh, so good. Why am I so bad at this? None of mine are as creative as this. This is what I'm talking about. I was so good. Good. Oh, good.

Okay, wonderful. I'm glad you like it. Well, I'm making it going like, oh, my God, what an idiot. Why am I doing this? I mean, these guys are all the professionals. Which way did you? want to talk about. The trivia is probably maybe the easy part. I honestly, to God, at this point, I totally forget, like, what the inciting incident was, right? But then you get, you get one little

interaction, and then everything kind of spirals from there as far as like, well, then I would have to have to have this. Oh, then it'd have to have that. I'd have to have this. Well, because you had the, the man eater ate both he's, right? Like, yeah. Yeah. Well, that's, well, he man was there to get you to do that first. Because you didn't actually. need anything. She eats it and then she eats both parts, but it shows you that, you know, that's what the behavior is. And so then exactly as Bill started thinking like, oh, but maybe that behavior then transfers over into other things. And then that's the stuff that you need. Yes. And you know what's, you know, for people listening along, right, you want tips on

like how to do escape roomy sort of stuff. The, the clue was not in necessarily the action, but it was in the wording of the description of the results, right? If you just said, it's the whole word, you've got nothing left. You'd be like, well, there's nothing. But the use of eats the man also eats the he. Those are the two things that it eats because those are both men. And it's like, oh, so it can eat the he in words. Important.

So that way of describing the results is done in a really specific way so that we understand where to catch it. But it still feels like we're solving a puzzle when we go, oh, wait a minute, did you say ate the he? That gives me an idea, even though obviously it's what you're telling us. It feels like we're doing it. Well, the same thing went for that describing of a wood sore at the end and the use of the word wood sore. And we said, oh, just a sore.

And she said, oh, yes, yes. Having the word wood in our heads was vital. Yes. Oh, it had to be. It had to be. It was fantastic. Yeah, I'm just happy that worked. Perfect.

All right, well, let's end this episode with a music round. Wow, this is an action-pack episode, dare I say. I've made a music round in celebration of our Australian friends from the Southern Hemisphere. We're going a little topsy-turvy today.

I have prepared clips of popular songs by Australian artists. Okay, sure In reverse Okay Fair enough So I have a clips of six songs And you need to identify the artist And for each song

I actually have a little extra trivia question That we can buzz in and answer So here we go Identify the music artist please Of clip number one Oh, hold on, hold on, let me, hot, daddy buzzed. Well, it was ACDC, song I'm still not 100% sure of, was it back in black? Yes, it is back in black, ACDC.

You know, the riff kind of is in a cadence that backwards, you're kind of feeling it. The fun fact is the easiest song to do this for is, I'm a believer, because it just goes, which backwards is, dun, dun, dun, done, dun. All right, so ACDC, Back in Black has been used in many movies and TV shows, but one of the most memorable uses was in the opening scene in what two seasons. 2008 film where the song was played in a CD stereo in a military transport. Oh, Danny. I know one 2008 movie, and that was Iron Man. Correct.

It is Iron Man. Opening scene of Iron Man, a needle drop is in the movie, they're playing the song that the characters in that movie, they're hearing it too. So that's how it was used. All right. Next song, song number two. Oh, remember the theme is Australian. Oh.

Bill. Is that the theme song to Bluey? It is the theme song. Oh, my God. In reverse. You're right. You get the pause. That's the port.

Or in this case, yeah. That is, wow, wow. Hey, what are Bluey's parents' names? Oh, oh, oh. Chris. Bandit and Healer. Incorrect. Oh, really?

Bandit and... Is it their last name? Hong, Hong. Danny Goose. It's Chili, right? Chili. Chili. Chilly is the dad.

Chilly is the dad. Chili is the mom. He's red. They have jobs. He works in archaeology. He's a digger dog. And Chile works at the airport. She's a customs

sniffer I mean they don't say That's what they do But like they say where they work And it's right What else is the dog Yeah All right

Let's play clip number three Here we go Australian Bands in reverse All right Here we go There are you There's a building

You know I'm being no idea I'm a much Five For I'm being I love it sounds like to sound like. You know, we just sound French. Okay. You know, you know, yeah, you guys are listening to this on a Saturday morning. I'm listening to this on a Friday night. I just work the whole week. I can't do this. I'm listening to this at 1130 on a Friday night. I just worked the whole week. I can't do this. You both have two kids

They're kind of asleep And we're like, whoa All right, Bill That is, that's Jet, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, are you going to be my girl? Wow. You know, normal way around is, you know,

one, two, three, that's going to be because it's But apparently backwards, as Danny said, it's just a strange European language. Like, that didn't feel like someone talking backwards. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

All right. Well, Jet, yes. Jet's popularity shot up when the song was featured in a multicolor commercial for what product? I wonder if this is America thing. Could have been. Like the iPhone? That was the sort of thing I was wondering. It is the iPod. Oh yeah, we've got to go back a few years. The black silhouettes of people with earbuds. They're still wired at this point, dancing to the song. All right. Song number four, please play this more of a recent song. I think I might just start listening to Backwood songs now for fun.

But I've no idea who this is. We're going to pull the pieces together and figure out who recently is Australian. This is The Kid Leroy. Oh, I've never listened to The Kids. Well, now you have. Now I have backwards. At Kid Leroy's concert in Melbourne in 2022, he brought out, what band as a super special guest musical act

and they perform songs like I've got a guess I don't know why I'll put you on record perform songs like big red car hot potato and fruit salad why did we know this right away we've never heard this why was the vibe just right nothing Australian would ever be like

they're a super special guest unless it was going to be the wiggles Like, everyone else would be like, some guy. Come on, everybody. It's the wiggle. Yes. Kidleroy, there's a mosh pit in the front, and he's just so pumped, and he's like, it's the effing wiggum.

I can so picture an entire moth pit, just like, do, do, chaga, chaga, big red car. Dorothy, the dinosaur shows up. You know, Henry the octopus also shows up. They're doing all the dances. All right. Feels right. I have two more songs.

Let's play clip number five. That was just me buzzing in That's Gottier, right? Somebody that I used to know. Yes, Gautier, somebody used to know. I thought that's what it sounded like, but I'd forgotten if he was Australian or from New Zealand. Ah, even if he's from New Zealand, we'll claim him.

That counts. We get to claim that. It's in our constitution. He is Australian judge, I believe. However, the female voice in this song belongs to a featured artist who's from New Zealand. What is her name? Honk.

She was Kimbra, right? Correct. It is Kimbra. The White Lion. Somebody. Japanese Simba. Simba. Yes. So.

He's Simbra. Featured. Featured artist. All right, last song, song number six in this Australian reverse music round. Here we go. Oh, Chris. Rick Springfield. Is Rick Springfield?

Jesse's girl. That one started up, I was just like, I just can identify the music here. You know what I mean? Oh, well done. The tone. The riff, the drums. Yeah, exactly. Yep, yep. Yes, he is Australian American.

I don't think I knew that. I don't think I knew he was Australian. No, not a clue. Jesse's girl. Big song, number one in the U.S. at the time when what launched on August 1st, 1981? It's a big deal. Jesse's girl was at number one in the U.S. song when what launched on August 1st, 1981? Was it Chris?

Music television? It was MTV. That's what I used to stand for. The first video, you know, video killed the radio star. And who was the radio star at that time, number one? It was Rick Springfield. Oh, man, he got killed. He got killed by MTV.

He killed him. Good job, everybody. That's our show. Thank you, Chris, we're joining me. Thank you guys, listeners for listening. But most importantly, thank you, Bill and Danny. Disagree. Thank you, too, most of all.
