Now it's time for Charles, Dom and Nina. Thanks, Beck. It's time for another mini edition of The Chaser Report. And Nina Ayama recently left the podcast. But before she went, we got a bit of revenge because for months now, Nina has been doing all these celebrity quizzes. Charles, remember that? All the MTV, like, video music awards.

all this stuff we knew absolutely nothing about. She made a full of us. She made a full of us. And so now... It's not my fault you're not engaged with pop culture and the conversation. No, it's the passing of the sands of time. So I've got a pop culture quiz for you, Nina. Getting on a little bit talking about your generation.

And we call it... 19993 mega quiz. Yes, that's right. We've chosen randomly the year 1993 and the pop culture of that area, which we know about. Nina, how old were you, during 1993? I was zero years old because I was born in 1993.

Oh, what a shame. Charles, how old were you in 1993? I was 17 turning 18. Yes, I was sweet 16 and never been kissed and that situation persisted for a long time. But anyway, I know this quiz was designed to humiliate me, but it just pointed out how old you both were. So congratulations on the cell phone.

1993 mega quiz. Let's kick this thing off in the year 1993. the first of which spectacular unsuccessful Australian military equipment was launched. What the fuck? A piece of military hardware that passed into legend, Charles? Collins class submarine. It was the Collins class submarine.

It's obvious. Still a complete piece of shit all these years later. Remember Bob Collins was the defense minister back then? Charles, remember all the chast of news articles we had when Nina was like seven about that? Well done. Nana the score, please. Charles 1, Nina, Zero, but don't worry, I will be coming up hot with the next question.

Okay, a bit of pop culture then. Which 1993 movie played Sonny and Cher's song, I Got You, Babe, 11 times during the course of the movie. Wait, what? A movie that came out in 1993. I'm going to ask the question again, so Mike can cut around it. A movie which came out in the year 1993 played the song, I've got you by Cher, 11 times, or at least the start of the song. 11 times during the course of the film. Is it the Shawshank Redemption?

No. No, that's incorrect. It was when Harry met Sally? No, it was on a clock radio that ticked to 6 a.m. Oh, it was Grand Hog Day. Oh, fuck. Suck my butt, bitch. In 1993?

Yeah, that's right. One all. The President of the United States. I was very sentient in the womb. We should have cheated, Dom. You should have given me. in the answers beforehand. I did.

Your memory sucks. In 1993, the President of the United States changed from whom to whom? Well, that's easy. George H.W. Bush to Bill Clinton. Two-one to Charles. Beautiful work.

All right. I have a sound question for you here. This is another movie one. This is from the trailer of a groundbreaking 1993 movie that was incredibly poorly reviewed. The star said it was the worst thing I ever did and that the whole experience was a nightmare. I need to know what film this is.

Here's a clip. They're on the trail of a kidnapped princess And a mystical meteorite That gives anyone who possesses it The power To rule the universe Very very bad movie What was it?

Oh my God Both Flemingstike right Was it? Was it Mac and me? That we did alien comedy from When in 1993 I was 17 I didn't have any friends

to go to movies. You literally always talk about how you've been friends with Dom since you were like 17 or whatever. Whoa. We were frenemies. Wow. We were frenemy.

He was older than me. I could get to hang out with him. Yeah. Oh my God. Okay. Let's make it slightly easy. Here's a big hint. They're brothers.

They're plumbers. Oh no. Mario. Is it a Super Mario movie? It is. Oh. The guy who played fucking, the guy in, who framed Roger Rabbit. Yes, it was Bob Hoskins's greatest failure in cinematic career.

Here's the answer. Super Mario Brothers. This ain't no game. Because he didn't know who Mario was. He didn't. He had no idea. And he asked his kid after the movie came out who Super Mario was. It was the first video game movie in history and set the trend that all video game movies

absolutely shit-house. All right. Let's go to... Two points all. That's all right. Two points all. Oh, my God. Of course you remember that

because Angelina Tully's in it. All right. In 1993, which dance craze was big? Multiple choice. A, Macarena, B, Lambata, C, voguing or D, the Hokie-Pokey. D, the Hokie-Pokey? Well, it wasn't the Macarena

because there was much later. There was like 98. Yeah, I was alive for that one. Ninety-six. It was the Macerada. It wasn't the Macerana. It was 983. What?

You're both useless. Oh, maybe overseas. It didn't reach Australian shores until about 96. He didn't have any friends. He didn't dance to songs. He didn't go to the movies. Well, how's this turned out? Terrible childhood.

What is this quiz now? Humiliation. This explains so much about you. Two points all. In 1993, who died outside the Viper Room in Los Angeles? Oh, River Phoenix. Nina got up. Oh, what?

Fuck you. Yes. All right, the biggest selling single. My mom read the Who magazine. That's how I know all this knowledge from osmosis. In the womb. In 1993, she didn't read the fucking newspaper, did she? Can we have more submarine questions?

All right, Charles. In 1993, who won the Australian election and who did they beat? Well, that was Paul Keating won it. And they beat. It would have been, it was John Houston, wasn't it? Yes. Two points. That is four, two.

All right. I will say, four three, four three. No, it's actually three three. I gave him two points for that. What the fuck? All right. I am the scorekeeper. Okay.

In 1993, which prominent American building was bombed by terrorists? I know this. It was the Oklahoma. It was the FBI. Oh, no, no, no, it wasn't. No, no, it was free kick of the board. It was the, I know it. Nina, do you know it?

Is it the, I don't know, the White House? Come back to me. You're not going to get a point, Charles. Go on. World Trade Center. It was the World Trade Center the first time. What? Yeah, they came back.

The second time was more successful than the first time. That's so red hot. I didn't know there was like a 9-11 prequel. Yeah, it was Al-Qaeda's warm-up. That's fucked up, man. It was in the car park. It was less visually spectacular. Ah, right.

In 1990, you split with the World Trade Center again. Oh, dear. Which fad from 993 was later named the world's first internet sensation, A, Tamagotchi, B, Beanie Babies, C, Pokemon or D, Thurbeys? Pokemon. Nope, 1996 or seven or something. It would have been Tamagotchi, sure.

Nope. It was Bini Babies, which apparently went for like 10 times what they cost on a new website called eBay. Interesting. Sorry, but I will have to dispute this claim because Beanie babies are physical baby things. They're like little bears, aren't they? And you dress them up?

That was shit then. Okay. So in 1993, the biggest selling single... No, you're not on the internet. Or idiots, obviously, brought them on eBay. Anyway, the biggest selling single in Australia in 1999, was an absolute crock of shit. But which crock of shit?

All of these appeared in the top 10 that year. A, I will always love you, Whitney Houston. B, Informer by Snow. C, sweat, a la la la la long by inner circle. Or D, I'll do anything for love. but I won't do that by Meatloaf. The biggest selling song of 1993 was... C.

I reckon it was I will always love you. Nina, he said C is also... It sweat, sweat, a la la, la, la, no. It was the worst song on the list. It was Meatloaf. What the fuck? We were idiots in 1993. So can someone sing that to remind me how goes?

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that. Anyway, just to redeem 1993 in the world of music, There were some amazing albums released. Sorry, Nanda, before we do that, just a quick. Nena, just a quick score check, please? Charles is currently on five and I'm on six. Wow, Charles. This isn't looking good for you.

I gave myself three extra points. Speed round. For you're taking the initiative to be the point counter. It's like when you play Monopoly, you get to give yourself extra money if you're the banker. All right. All right. Look, we need to redeem 1903 because there was. those songs were all absolutely appalling and they're all in the top ten.

There were also some amazing albums. I'm going to name the albums, I want you to tell me the artists. And so quick scoring opportunities here. All right, Spicks and Spex. These are all very, very good album, Siamese Dream. No, I don't know, moving along and the smashing pumpkins in utero. Radiohead. Fuck!

Pablo Honey. J-Lo. Radiohead. Fuck off. The last splash. Aqua. Oh, man. Here's an easy one.

Come on, feel the lemon heads. The lemon heads? Nina got it. Oh, bugger. So this is the point where I remember that back in 1993, Charles didn't know any cool music. I still don't. The height of fashion event in 1993.

Wait, what's in utero? In utero was the second album after, never mind. It was their last album and it was also huge. Nirvana. Yes. Sorry. In utero was by Nirvana, of course, their final album. Now, fashion in 1993, the height of fashion, what was it?

In 1993, A, hypercolour T-shirts, B. Charles, stop giggling. C, C, camouflage pants or D, bell bottoms. What was the first one? Hypercolour T-shirts, which changed colour in you. That one. Yeah, I sort of think it was flannels. It was flannies.

That wasn't an option. Grunge. So you're going to go with checked shirts? Yeah, check shirts. What the fuck? That's what I wore. That's what I wore. That's what I wore.

That's what I was. I was fashionable. Hypercala was 91, Camas, 95, Bellbottoms later in the 90s. Bellbottons was like 1960? Yeah, it was originally. And Nina gets a five-point handicap because she wasn't even alive in 19903 for most of it. So Nina is the winner of the quiz. Yay!

Shittacular this quiz thing, Don. So to summarize, I asked lots of questions about the most popular things in 1993, and Charles still didn't know shit about popular. Culture. Dom, I was not the most popular thing in 1983. Actually, I remember that bit.
