Starting point is 00:01:05 mic issue so sorry about this but we'll be back to studio episodes next week and you'll have that sweet sweet stupid old studios clean sound um anyway hopefully you enjoy this show i thought it was an absolute freaking belter cheers Oh, that's so nice. 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 Birmingham local, it's host of the Hey I Love That Movie podcast, it's Helena Heath.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Hi, welcome to Birmingham. Thanks so much for having me and thanks so much for being our scorekeeper and answer collector tonight. Yes. A very important role, don't fuck it up. Our first contestant this week, Helena, is multiple award-winning English comedian Alexis Dubas. You can't see it on the podcast, but there was a little raise of the eyebrows and a thumbs up from me. It was good enough. It was close enough as a pronunciation.
Starting point is 00:02:25 I've been sweating on that the last few days. Well, you know what? It's different wherever you go. In France, I have a French family, and they would say, Dubus. Oh. I would say, Dubus.
Starting point is 00:02:37 But my mum's side is Aussie, and they go, Dubus. So you, as an Aussie, were quite correct. No one fucking knows how to pronounce it. Doobus it is tonight. Doobus. I'm so sorry. Our second contestant is multiple award losing Australian comedian Dave Warnicke.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Hello. Great to be here. You nailed my name. Thank you so much. Yeah, because it would be Warnake like in Germany probably. I've been told that. Okay. First time listeners, has anyone in the audience not heard the show before?
Starting point is 00:03:12 Woo. I'm pretty pleased about not hearing it before. It was like everyone in the crowd put their hand up. Is Birmingham a polite place, Eleanor? You don't think so. It depends what you say about people. That's what he politely said, though. That's a really polite way of saying, no!
Starting point is 00:03:33 I don't think they realise that they're actually just very polite. Well, screw you. That's what I say to crowds I'm bombing to. Jeez, they're very polite, aren't they? Really paying attention. Geez, they're very polite, aren't they? Really paying attention. So first time listeners might be wondering what this show is and how does it work.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Well, it's pretty simple, really. I ask a relatively obscure trivia question and our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answers as well as the real one and they have to guess which one they think is correct. Okay, are we ready to play? So ready. The first question comes from listener Sarah Johnson from the UK.
Starting point is 00:04:11 You in tonight, Sarah? Okay. Damn. It's a big place, I guess. Odds weren't high. Well, we probably only got about 3-4% of the UK in tonight, but... So, you know, odds are against us. Alright, question number one. We only got about 3-4% of the UK in tonight. So, you know, odds are against us.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Alright, question number one. What does Slubba Degullion mean? What does Slubba Degullion mean? It's fun to say. Helena, while they're writing their answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. So they get one point if their fake answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point if they correctly guessed the answer. By the way, I'm also playing as the house. Okay, okay, couple on board tonight.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I've put into my own fake answers for each question with the help of the question writer 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. Seems fair, but apparently the probability favours me. The house. And the house always wins. Although if you've listened to the show, you know that is not always the case. Anyway, our questions come from our great Patreon supporters. Any Patreon supporters in tonight? If you want to submit a question, sign up on any level at patreon.com slash jugonpod, linked in the show notes. You come out tonight, you pay for a ticket, you're getting plugged out. Sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:05:35 For a thing you're already at. You're running around the venue looking for the show notes. Where is it? All right, the answers are are in here is question number one what does slubber de gallion mean the french word for a million billion a dribbling idiot a filthy slobbering person a sloven a villain a fiend that's one. Just a really hammer at home. The dictionary definition. The cement-like substance used to bind planks on a
Starting point is 00:06:10 ship or a version of a Tadakian roast, only instead of a chicken cooks inside a duck, inside a turkey, it's a slug inside a bird, inside inside an eagle, which is a different kind of bird, inside a lion. Quite the Christmas feast.
Starting point is 00:06:32 All right, so... I mean, I really want it to be the last one. I so want it to be the last one. Just to see the prep. Yeah. And the size of the chef required. It's a team that's a team effort
Starting point is 00:06:46 that's a fucking team yeah yeah yeah Gordon Ramsay's birthday today heard that on the radio on the way here fun fact if anyone could
Starting point is 00:06:54 take on a stuffed lion with various foul it's that man we were listening to the radio on the Uber here and what was it called Sunrise FM
Starting point is 00:07:03 and then they were saying and a very happy birthday to Gordon Ramsay who the radio on the Uber here. And what was it called? Sunrise FM. And then they were saying and a very happy birthday to Gordon Ramsay who I was certain was not listening to Sunrise FM. But just in case. Throw on it out there. I would watch that
Starting point is 00:07:17 series though. Ramsay's Slubber the Gullion Kitchen. Fuck yeah. It's not that though is it? I can't give you Fuck yeah. It's not that though, is it? I can't give you any hints. It's the foul, the slovenly, dribbling... The sloven, the villain, the fiend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:35 All right, I'll lock that in for you. But there were two sort of slobbery answers there, weren't there? What's the other slobbery? The other one was a dribbling idiot. Okay. Yeah. So. Yeah. So, um... Yeah. Yeah, they're similar but slightly different. So, Dave, which one are you going to
Starting point is 00:07:52 pick? What was the first one? Can you remind me? The first one was the French word for a million billion. Okay. Slubber de galleon. Say it with a French accent. You could do that very well. Slubber de guillon. I'm locking it in. That's awesome. Say it with a French accent. You could do that very well. I'm locking it in.
Starting point is 00:08:09 That's awesome. A million billion. Now I want to lock that one in. No, I'm going for the million billion. Yeah, you're going to lock that in? Absolutely. All right, Dave's locking that in. Let's see who wrote the answers.
Starting point is 00:08:33 A version of a Tadak and Roast. That was written by The House. Well done, House. We'll pay that. The cement-like substance used to bind planks on a ship. That was written by Dave Vornike. That's right. I'm a boat man. Boat boy.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Boat boy. A dribbling idiot. That was written by Dave Vornicke. That's right. I'm a boat man. Boat boy. Boat boy. A dribbling idiot. That was written by Alexis. So one of you is correct here. But it's not Dave. It's never Dave. The French word for million billion. That was also the house.
Starting point is 00:08:59 But the correct answer is a filthy, slobbering person. A sloven, a villain, a fiend. And that means one point to Alexis, one point to the house. I've actually... I've just learned a new word that describes the house. Yeah. You fiend.
Starting point is 00:09:20 And so, Alexis, you wrote the definition that was correct. Do you know this word? Yeah. If you'd have done any sort of research on your guests, you'd have seen that my first ever show was about the history of swearing. And that was featured in the 16th century dictionary, which was the first dictionary. It was called A World of Words.
Starting point is 00:09:42 It was by Florio. I still remember it. And it contained all of the filth. And there were things like fartleberries, which was hemorrhoids. Oh, that's perfect. They should have stuck with that. And duck fucker, which was the man who has care of poultry aboard a ship of war. The specifics in it are incredible. It's a
Starting point is 00:10:05 good read. That's so great. It's a fucking great time. I had a funny feeling you'd know that word, but yeah. It's classic English. And all around the streets of Birmingham, you'll hear that as a cuss word. That was a dangerous game. But most of the other questions for that reason are about American shit. Most of the other questions for that reason are about American shit.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Ah. Well, my second show was all about American defecationary habits. So go for it. All right. Well, the second question comes from CJ Diamond from Coburg. It's actually another European question. The question is, what was former Romanian MP Florin Popscu arrested for in 2016?
Starting point is 00:10:49 Do you know this, Alexis? Sure. Oh, okay. So what was former Romanian MP Florin Popscu arrested for in 2016? While you're writing your answers, here's some more info on the word slubberdegallion, even though Alexis probably already gave better info than I will. I'm here to correct you. So, according to
Starting point is 00:11:11 worldwidewords.org, slobberdegullion is a word which nobody hearing it could possibly consider a compliment, rightly because it means a filthy, slobbering person. There are examples of it on record from the 17th century down to the early 20th, but appears now only as a deliberate archaism.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Am I saying that right? Thank you. Ding. The experts disagree about where it came from. The first part is from slobber or slobber, meaning stain or sully, but the rest is less certain. It might be from cullion, an old word for a testicle, which by the 16th century was a term of contempt for a man. Did you know that?
Starting point is 00:11:54 Hey, now the tutor has turned the tutee. It might instead conceivably be linked to the Scots dialect gullion for quagmire or pool of mud containing semi-liquid decayed vegetable matter. But that's only recorded rather later, so it's unlikely. What do you reckon about that, Dave? Pretty good? So it's either testicle or vegetable matter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Yeah, I like them both. Were you familiar with the word Helena? I mean, yeah. A little bit of going, yeah. Yeah, daily. Oh, really? As in it was the word of the day. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Today. Today. Gordon Ramsay's birthday. Wow. What are the chances? Two people died as well. We also heard on the car ride over. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:43 The guy who voices the hat and harry potter sorry if anyone's finding that out now especially if it's your he's your granddad or something it was um so there was like a five minute tribute this is in the second uber because we went to the other hair and hounds on google maps first oh whoops which apparently hasn't been there for 10 years uh so in the second Uber they had BBC on and there was a five-minute tribute to... What's the guy's name? Leslie.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Sorting Hat. Sorting Hat man. Five-minute tribute. And then it was like, also, an old man from EastEnders has died. Here's the rest of the news. Gave him nothing. Sorry if that old man was your old man from EastEnders.
Starting point is 00:13:25 All right, the answers are in. So here's question number two. What was former Romanian MP Florin Popscu, I've said that different every time, doesn't matter, arrested for in 2016? Here are your five options. Using hotels to house animals. It's got to be a better way.
Starting point is 00:13:46 He got drunk, stole Vlad the Impaler's crown and streaked through parliament. Train surfing. He tried to bribe his electorate with grilled chicken. Or attempting to milk his neighbour's cat. Few animal related ones there. And it's hard, without knowing the exact laws of Romania, is it illegal to milk a cat? Could be fine.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I don't know. Can you do that here? It should be. Yeah. I think it's illegal to attempt, but not to succeed. Right. So if you can get a bit out, there you go. Jeez, that's a big gamble once you start.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Please, I need this. I need this milk. Dave, we don't have a stab here. Do you need them again? One more time. We've got housing animals. Using hotels to house animals. Stealing Vlad the Impaler's crowns
Starting point is 00:14:45 and streaking through parliament train surfing bribing his electorate with grilled chicken or attempting to milk his neighbour's cat but not succeeding not succeeding
Starting point is 00:14:55 I like the hotel hiding animals housing animals in a hotel great I'm locking it in what's the crime?
Starting point is 00:15:04 what is the crime? trying to enjoy a housing housing animals in a hotel. Great. I'm locking it in. What's the crime? What is the crime? Trying to enjoy a housing animal? Yeah, a succulent house for a meal. What's the charge? No, if you're housing multiple animals, who knows what he's doing or milking in those rooms. Oh, you could be a twofer there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:24 What do you think, Alexis? Sorry, I went a bit horsey there, didn't I? I thought of the animals he could have housed in a hotel. That would definitely cause an arrest, I think. Cat, you might get away with unless you milk it. But you'd admire the boldness. Sneaking that past reception. What is this, a hotel for horses?
Starting point is 00:15:42 Just glue some handles on the side. I'm going to go... I don't know what... I guess train... I think I know what train surfing is, but it could be lost in translation that maybe he was sort of going on trains without paying. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Or, in my mind, it's that the power trip of being a politician has gone to his head and he's thought that he's some kind of superhero and that he's gone on top of the trains. And I'm sure he had his reasons, but I want to think that it's that for the imagery alone. All right, great.
Starting point is 00:16:13 I'm locking that one in. So here is who wrote the answers. Attempting to milk his neighbour's cat. That was Dave Warnicky. Yes. Based on a personal experience of mine. All of my answers tonight will be so stealing Vlad the Impaler's crown that was by the house I did I googled what's in Romania
Starting point is 00:16:32 that was one of the first things that came up see that's what I've got an advantage over you yeah I wrote these yesterday with the help of Google Well it's hard to go there in person Because all the hotels are full Filthy Shit everywhere End up in the stable Like a reverse Jesus or whatever No A Jesus
Starting point is 00:16:56 A full Jesus A standard Jesus Australian Jesus Got to go into the hotel Everything's upside down and back to front Yeah I get that A standard Jesus Australian Jesus Yeah Got to go into the hotel Yeah yeah Everything's upside down And back to front Yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:17:08 Yeah I get that What are we talking about? I don't know Train surfing That was written by the house I'm afraid as well The house could go Fuck itself
Starting point is 00:17:18 Dave If you'll pardon my French No I appreciate the French You slubbered it up But I mean you've got A bigger vocab than that. Why are you using such easy words? Go swive, then.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Okay, maybe I will. That was in there. That's where we get go swivel from, since you asked. Swive, meaning to fuck. It was an old... Right. I'm going to use as much knowledge from that show as I can tonight. You've unleashed.
Starting point is 00:17:45 I would appreciate that. So Dave went for using hotels to house animals. That was Alexis. Oh, well played. Very sort of animal-based thinking. Yeah, that's right. The correct answer was he tried to bribe his electorate with grilled chicken. So one point to Alexis and one point to the house.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Done. Helena, can we get a score update? The scores on the doors are Alexis with two. Yep, loving it. Joint hands with... Look at the crowd. They went wild. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:19 I think they're our house fans. They're not for the house. You've got a smattering now. Yeah, no, they don't like the underdog. The house always wins. The people's champion. Yeah, the people's champion. That's another two to the house.
Starting point is 00:18:32 What is wrong with you? That's better. And lagging slightly behind, yet to score, is Dave Warnocki. On how many? Did you just boo me? I'm already losing. They're turning against me here. I hate the underdog.
Starting point is 00:18:54 I know. I need some confidence. I'm not getting it from you. So you've not got any points. So that's zero. Zero. Fuck, okay. Not got any points yet. Exactly. You can get two any round though, Dave. So you can... Just not that's zero. Zero. Fuck. Okay. Not got any points yet.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Exactly. You can get two any round though, Dave. So you can... Just not the last two. Yes. All right. Thank you. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:15 The next question. Question number three was written by Julia Bentley from England. Are you in tonight, Julia? England. I mean, it's slightly smaller than the UK, but still, you know, I think we've only got 7% of England in tonight. Julia's question is, what was the nickname of Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel?
Starting point is 00:19:40 I haven't tried to say that out loud yet. Do you think I nailed it? So you've just got to come up with a nickname for Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel. How do you spell Manziel? M-A-N-Z-I-E-L. Okay. Manziel, probably. Actually, now that I think about it for a second.
Starting point is 00:20:01 And while you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a little bit more about Florin Popscu's bribery. Reporting for Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, reporter Stella Rock wrote, the former member of Romania's parliament was sentenced to two years in prison for attempting to bribe voters
Starting point is 00:20:19 with 60 tonnes of chicken. I'd vote for that. 60 tonnes of chicken. I'd vote for that. 60 tonnes? I assume in installments. Yes. Dubbed the Chicken Baron by local news agencies, he used his influence and authority as chairman of a political party to arrange handover of undue benefits in the form of chicken
Starting point is 00:20:43 to his constituency in southern Romania. The benefits consisted of 60 tonnes of chicken worth about $122,000 US. These were given to citizens as part of his 2012 local election campaign. Prosecutors said the investigation began when an unidentified whistleblower reported him to the authorities. The whistleblower turned out to be the guy who was being made to get the chicken. Chicken boy.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Source local hotels to house him in. All right, question number three. What was the nickname of Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel? Here are your five options. Okay. The Manzanator. The Texas Expraxis. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Do we need to go back to the tape on that one? The Human Dinosaur. The Human Handrail. Or Johnny Football? So you've got the Manzanator, the Texas Expraxis, the human dinosaur, the human handrail or Johnny Football?
Starting point is 00:22:01 Alexis, what are you thinking there? Oh God, Johnny Football is so good, isn't it? It's just like, yeah, he's the best at football. That's Johnny Football. Yeah. what are you thinking there? Oh God, Johnny Football is so good, isn't it? It's just like, yeah, he's the best at football. That's Johnny Football. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Yeah, fuck it. They're simple people. They're very, you know, don't fuck around. No, I think,
Starting point is 00:22:13 but no, I'm actually, no, I'm going to go for the dinosaur. Human dinosaur. Human dinosaur. I like, this is so,
Starting point is 00:22:19 that's a vast, one of the little, you know, these ones, if he's a T-Rex, then he's fucking terrible. Could have a long neck., you know, these ones. If he's a T-Rex, then he's fucking terrible. Could have a long neck. Yeah, a brachiosaurus.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Yeah. Great. Just put it in his mouth and run like the fuck. Maybe have like a big spine. Spines on his back. It's just... You know, it could be anything. Yeah, it's pretty vague, but I'm going to go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:40 If that was the case, I would have called him Stegosaur Man. But, you know, that's why me and the Americans are different. They always say the more specific the nickname, the better. Yeah, yeah. So you're going human dinosaur. I was tempted by human handrail. Talk us through the logic there. How would you get a nickname like that?
Starting point is 00:23:01 Because you can rely on a handrail, you know? Where do you reach? You go for the handrail. I'm you get a nickname like that? Because you can rely on a handrail, you know? Where do you reach? You go for the handrail. I'm falling down, handrail. Johnny, the human, handrail, man, zeal. Yeah, quarterback, yep. Yeah, that's not,
Starting point is 00:23:15 yeah, that's what Paul likes to do. In the field of American football you can rely on a dinosaur. Yeah, it's true. It's going to win every time. One dinosaur on the field. Yeah, clear the pitch.
Starting point is 00:23:24 So you've got the manzanator, the Texas Expraxis, the Human Dinosaur, Human Handrail, Johnny Football. Dave, what are you locking in? I think Human Handrail. Human Handrail. I think it's great. Though your reaction there, it does not instil me with confidence. No, I just think it's great.
Starting point is 00:23:40 You've locked in the Human Dinosaur and the Human Handrail. It's got to be one of those. It's a shame it's American football. It's the same as American football. If it was rugby, it could have been a trianosaurus rex. Oh, yeah. I don't know any American football terms, so I can't think of a pun. Conversionosaurus rex. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:55 That's actually pretty good. Yeah. Touchdownosaur. Sure. Yeah, yeah. That's the term, so, you know. i'm not saying it's good i'm you asked you said you didn't know any of the terms i'd helped you i thought i was helping you out and the way you responded was like i enjoyed it politely i was very polite in my response you're fitting in very
Starting point is 00:24:20 nicely all right question number three we had the answers the Manzanator. That was Alexis. Which I thought I was surely you picked that over the human handrail but Well, I've played this game before.
Starting point is 00:24:34 The Texas Expraxis. That was the house. The human dinosaur which Alexis went for. That was Dave's answer. So Dave's on the board. I got one. I got one.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Thanks, everyone. That's for you, buddy. Silencing the critics. The human handrail, that was the house. No. Which I honestly thought was the stupidest thing I've ever written down. So the correct answer is Johnny Football. Johnny Football.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Johnny Football. He's the best. I'll tell you a bit more about Johnny Football in a sec, but the next question, question number four, comes from Julie Bai from Iowa in the United States. The question is, what is the title of Bo Carter's sexually suggestive blues song released in 1935?
Starting point is 00:25:33 What is the title of Bo Carter's sexually suggestive blues song released in 1935? While you're writing your answers, here's some more info on Johnny Football. Or should we do a score check, Helena? Please. That would be great. So,
Starting point is 00:25:48 steaming ahead with three points, we have The House. Trailing behind slightly, but not quite as some, is Alexis with two points. And with one whole point, we have Dave.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Thank you. I'm coming back. I'm coming back. Yeah, I like how, Helena, you also start with the leader and then sort of reverse tension the other way. I like that. That's how they do it at the Olympics, right? Gold medal first. Well, I think it's when they cross the line,
Starting point is 00:26:26 it's normally obvious. Yeah. That's a good point. We're going to go to the VAR. Where am I coming? Top three. So this is about Johnny Football. According to NBC News,
Starting point is 00:26:49 he's the son of a wealthy oil man in tiny Kerrville, Texas. As a teen, he was a parade All-American and in 2011, a National High School Coach Association Player of the Year. Johnny Football. Yeah. He enrolled at Texas A&M, a college, and just prior to the start of the 2012 season, he was arrested for disorderly conduct after an off-campus fight. Still, he was named starting quarterback and dubbed Johnny Football, leading his team to an upset win over number one Alabama
Starting point is 00:27:18 and a victory in the Cotton Bowl. He became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy. Brash, electric and unapologetic, Manziel was for a few years one of the greatest young footballers in America. A fleet, improvisational quarterback who seemed to flourish under
Starting point is 00:27:36 pressure, but he couldn't seem to find his off switch, often appearing hell-bent on destroying himself. He drank, fought, partied, talked smack, drove recklessly, went to rehab, and still kept getting into trouble. His story is about unfulfilled
Starting point is 00:27:53 potential. He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the NFL, but only played a handful of games before being cut. Johnny Football. Johnny Football. All these days, Johnny Fisticuffs. Johnny Dole Q. Is that what you call it over here?
Starting point is 00:28:12 Yeah. Okay. They just didn't like it. Yep. All right, so the answers are in. Here's question number four. What is the title of Bocart's sexually suggestive blues song released in 1935?
Starting point is 00:28:31 Taken off my pants and they ain't coming back on. LAUGHTER Please warm my wiener. Baby got my front tail wagon. Well, smack my flapjack. Or let my gator eat your potato. Let my gator eat your potato.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Oh, very believable options. Do you need to hear them again? What are you thinking? Yeah, maybe a quick recap. Quick recap. Okay, so you've got Taken off my pants And I ain't coming back on Please warm my wiener
Starting point is 00:29:22 Baby got my front tail wagging Well, smack my flapjack please warm my wiener, baby got my front tail wagon, well, smack my flapjack, or let my gator eat your potato. It's all go there, Dave, I reckon. If I do like potatoes... What do you think the potato is in this context? Well, isn't it obvious? Do I really have to explain it to you?
Starting point is 00:29:45 Let my gator eat your potato. Yeah. What does that mean? I don't know. I like that. I also like front tail wagging. That's great. But then flapjack, that feels like, you know, it's from 1935.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Risque then. It can't be as risque now, can it? Surely. I'm having a break down over here. You're on your own, son. No, oh my God. Dave is sweating. He's listening at home.
Starting point is 00:30:22 I have an instinct within me that says flapjack what is it again? flap my well smack my flapjack thank you great
Starting point is 00:30:33 it's the most veiled one isn't it? yeah I feel like that could because it's still what do you think flapjack is in this case? the same thing as a potato
Starting point is 00:30:42 you eat it and then you smack it and then, hey! Less nutritional value. Yeah, that's right. Alright, so you're locking in, well, smack my flapjack. Yep. What about you, Alexis? The only one that started playing in my head as soon as you said it was the gator and potato one.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, baby, let my gator, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom Again, all based on real experiences of my life. Don't know what you're admitting to there, Dave. Baby got my front tail wag and that was Alexis. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:31:36 That's so good. Kind of want to hear that one as well. Yeah. Well, smack my flapjack. That was the house. Oh. So was let my gator Eat Your Potato. The correct answer was Please Warm My Wiener.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Wow. Fucking single entendre. Yeah. The whole song. I'll read out some of the lyrics soon. It really is very single entendre stuff. I hadn't come up with the second entendre until the 40s, I think. Yeah, I'll listen to it today. It's something.
Starting point is 00:32:11 So that's two points to the house that round. Yeah, the house is doing pretty well. Okay, so we really need you to lift here. Can you stop picking my stupid answers? Honestly, let my gatorade your potato. They were different times potato there were different times there were different
Starting point is 00:32:26 times come on I like the flapjack one that was written by Julie that sounded so believable
Starting point is 00:32:33 didn't it yeah it was wholesome almost yeah but veiled the way I normally try and do it
Starting point is 00:32:39 Alexis is I put in one that I think is a bit believable that was the flapjack one and one that I think you'd be like you'd have lost your mindvable. That was the flapjack one. And one that I think you'd be like,
Starting point is 00:32:45 you'd have lost your mind to pick. That was the gator one. It's worked out for you. It's working out well for you. All right. So we've got three more questions. So you've both got the chance to still pick up six points. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:58 It's anyone's game still. Here's question number five. This one's from Adam King from Brooklyn in New York. He wrote in brackets, I'm walking here. Which of these is a real species of fish? So basically you've just got to come up with a fake species of fish. Just make up a fish species here. And while you're writing your answers,
Starting point is 00:33:23 do we need a score update? Would you like one? I don't really want to. How's the house's ego? I hate it. I hate bleeding. It feels uncomfortable. I'm a loser.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Here are the lyrics. Do you want to hear these, Helena? I'm going to give you a few lyrics. We'll stop directing it at you. No, no. I want you to stare into my eyes as you talk about your warm wiener. Well, no, that's the problem.
Starting point is 00:33:52 It's not warm. I'm going to get a cool beer. Yes, please. Can I have one of those too, please? I got something to tell you, baby. Don't get mad this time. If you warm my wiener, you give me ease all up in my mind. Baby, please warm my wiener.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Oh, warm my wiener. Won't you just warm my wiener? Because you really don't feel right cold. Oh, my gosh. It's getting desperate, isn't it? Now listen here, sweet baby, I ain't no lying man. If you warm my wiener one time, you're going to want him again. Baby, please warm my wiener.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Oh, warm my wiener. Won't you just warm my wiener? Because you really don't... There's not even other innuendo. The only line that is even trying for the double entendre a little bit is, some say it takes hot water, baby, can't you see? But your heat, baby, is plenty warm enough for me. That's the only one that's actually talking about it like it might be a sausage.
Starting point is 00:35:02 The rest of you just may as well be saying, my cock. I love to think there's some guy when he's playing it live just doing beeps for every weiner. Beep, beep. Some guy paid to do that. Have you got your answer in, Dave? You haven't got a beer? Yeah, you do.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Sorry, great. All right. Apologies. Honestly, I wasn't sure it was your answer. Okay. I was looking back through. So we've met tonight and to get these messages across
Starting point is 00:35:28 we've added each other on Facebook and now my message is to you to say the cement-like substance used to blind planks on a ship attempting to milk his neighbour's cat. The human dinosaur taken off my pants and they ain't coming back on.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Please don't report me. And then the new answer. I was really worried you were about to read that out. Yeah. All right. So the answers are in. Here is question number five. Please don't pick anything stupid here.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Okay. It's going to be hard not to, to be honest. All right. So here are the five options for which of these is a real species of fish. Okay. Slippery dick. Grey flencher. This fish is fast.
Starting point is 00:36:19 How many A's are in the word fast? Sorry, I might have said it. There's only one A, but there's seven S's. This fish is fast. A little accent on the A, yeah? Yeah. Nice. Blue-balled ninny.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Or whore, four, fish. Now, Matt, which one of those is your dumb answer? So you've got slippery dick, grey flencher, this fish is fast, blue-balled ninny or whore, fish? What are you thinking, Alexis? It's the blue-balled ninny. Yeah? Yeah, I'll go blue-balled ninny.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Because the rest of... Well, grey flen... Actually... No, I'll go blue-balled. Because the rest of... Well, grey flint. Actually... No, I'm going blue bald. Yeah, I reckon there's... Yeah. Blue bald ninny locking it in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:13 What's the first one, Matt? Slippery dick. Slippery dick. I mean, fish are slippery. How many ahead am I, Helena? So you have five. Yes. I'm starting from the top again. I feel like? So you have five. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:26 I'm starting from the top again. I feel like you led me to that, though. No, I like that. So, yeah, House is ahead with five. Then there's Alexis with two. And then we've got Dave has one point. Great. Hey, Alexis.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Hi. You've picked the wrong answer. You want to go again? Sure I went blue-born nanny Because there's a blue-footed booby Yes A beautiful bird So I kind of wanted that to be
Starting point is 00:38:02 I know, I'm sorry Okay They're fucking idiots as well Blue-boob Yes A beautiful bird So I kind of wanted that to be I know I'm sorry Okay They're fucking idiots as well Blue booby They're blue booby They're in danger of going extinct Because their mating habits Are so fucking ridiculous
Starting point is 00:38:14 Really They jump up and down On the female's head To try and instigate Wiener warming Right So they What do they accidentally
Starting point is 00:38:25 kill the... No, they don't kill them. They're just the... Women think they're idiots. Okay. Anyway. They need to get with the times. So...
Starting point is 00:38:34 Human men stopped doing that months ago. Even in Australia? Yeah, yeah. Fuck it up. So, what was it? Give me them again,
Starting point is 00:38:44 quickly. Slippery Dick, Grey Flencher, This Fish is Fast, Blue Bald Ninny. Not that one. Whore, Fwar, Fish. I mean, you did pick one of the only ones that sounded pretty realistic. Have you locked yours in, Dave? Blue Bald Ninny. That's my boy.
Starting point is 00:39:05 While Alexis is thinking, why don't you lock yours in Dave? Slippery dick. Slippery dick for Dave. And for my answer? Bit of fun there. See, now that I will report. Yeah, I'm glad I didn't take that. Yeah, slippery dick. I'm glad I didn't text that. Yeah, slippery dig.
Starting point is 00:39:27 I'm going to haw-faw-fish. No, it could be. I thought it was just you woefully mispronouncing some kind of Hawaiian fish or something. For the listener at home, Matt's face went, Haw, faw, no. Yeah, but I thought he was throwing me off the scent. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Poor Aussie pronunciation. He doesn't want you to get it right. I've done it again, haven't I? I did not see that coming. But in a way. Come on. Yeah, you definitely want to lock that in, or you can still pick another one.
Starting point is 00:40:05 It's up to you. Let me know if you're locking it in. All right. You can also pick the same as Dave if you want to. I'll pick the same as Dave because I want to. Interesting. All right. Let's go through the answers then.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Don't know how much of that will be released. I think people should believe in the sanctity of the show. And luckily, Brum people don't talk, so... I think the secret is safe with us. Which of these is a real species of fish? So, hawthorn fish, that was the house. What? Blue-balled ninny that was the house. What? Blue-balled ninny, also the house.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Whoa. That's believable. This fish is fast. That was Dave. Fucking ridiculous. Grey flencher, which I can't believe wasn't picked, was Alexis, meaning slippery dick was the correct answer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Woo. Woo. Woo! Woo! Woo! That feels so cheap. And so good. So good. It shouldn't feel cheap to you. You just picked it. Yep.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Can you charge people more on Patreon to get the truth? Question six comes in from Bracken Markins from Philadelphia in the United States of America. The question is, in 1909, US President William Howard Taft is rumoured to have gotten to a bit of a pickle in his private residence at the White House. What happened?
Starting point is 00:41:43 What did President Taft... What trouble did he get into in his own private residence at the White House. What happened? What did President Taft... What trouble did he get into in his own private residence at the White House in 1909? And while you're writing those answers, here's some more info on the slippery dick. The slippery dick is a species of wrasse. Is that how you say it? It's like a kind of fish.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Yeah, wrasse, all right. You're not asking me. I thought the 404 fish was believable. What the fuck are you asking me for clarification? I'm not Fishipedia. You seem to know a lot of stuff. I just trust people with English accents. So it's native to shallow tropical waters off the western Atlantic coast.
Starting point is 00:42:24 It can be found from North Carolina and Bermuda to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea area. They are generally reef-associated at depths of 1 to 15 metres, but it's not very common in seagrass. This is all very fun stuff. The slippery dick can reach a maximum length of 35 centimetres. Is that all? What about in warmer water?
Starting point is 00:42:52 Tropical climbs. It has a thin, elongated body with a terminal mouth. What does that mean? Your mouth is terminal. Well, things go in and out of it. Yeah, every mouth is terminal. Right. A terminal.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Or is it a deadly mouth? Is that a weird way of saying a deadly mouth? Oh, I don't know. But I like to just leave it there. Because the answers are in. I had all this more... So much more information about the slippery dick, but it was all as interesting as that.
Starting point is 00:43:24 They change, like... like yeah anyway um they have a lot of colors here is question number six uh as the did i say it was unsubstantiated before as the unsubstantiated rumor goes in 1909 u.s, US President William Howard Taft got himself into a bit of a pickle in his private residence at the White House. What happened? Here are your five options. Don't go with your instinct, Alexis. I'm really disappointed with my instinct tonight. I thought it was pretty solid.
Starting point is 00:44:01 No, no, please. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't be getting involved. You're very good at solid. No, no, please. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't be getting involved. You're very good at this. The house is yeah. You're a great bullshitter. Here are your options. He left the back door open and a squatter moved in and refused
Starting point is 00:44:15 to leave for six months. He got stuck in the bath. He used the White House to house animals. He got lost for three days in the secret underground labyrinth while hunting for George Washington's gold. Or a group of dignitaries walked in on him while he was using a mirror to paint a nude selfie. So, what are you thinking there, Dave?
Starting point is 00:44:59 Do you need them again or are you pretty happy with that? Some great options. What do we know about Taft? Yeah, I feel like you'd know a bit about Taft. He's the only president to serve non-consecutive terms. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:45:13 He can't have been that bad because they put him back in. I think he might be also one of the only presidents that also served as a judge on one of the higher courts. That's another fun fact. These facts are getting less and less fun. And they didn't even start out that fun. But I can
Starting point is 00:45:30 imagine his face. He looks like a man that could get trapped in a bath. You can tell that by his face? Yeah. Little moustache. I feel like sometimes I've seen him wear a monocle. You're thinking of the Monopoly Man? Yeah. Trapped in a bath or...
Starting point is 00:45:50 I am going to need them again. Sorry. Please. He left the back door open and a squatter moved in and refused to leave for six months. Got stuck in the bath. Used the White House to house animals. Got lost in a secret labyrinth hunting gold. Or a group of dignitaries walked in on him while using a mirror to paint a nude selfie?
Starting point is 00:46:09 Because I can see that happening within the word selfie there. But maybe we're just using modern language to describe what happened there. I'm going to say bath. Taft in the bath. Locking in the bath for Dave. What do you reckon, Alexis? Well, much as I love the DuckTales-esque searching for George Washington's gold.
Starting point is 00:46:28 And three days lost. Yes. It's fucking... The catacombs. The labyrinth. Yeah. I'm going to play it safe. I immediately thought bath as well.
Starting point is 00:46:41 All right. We'll lock in bath as well. A lot of you've teamed up basically. Kind of, yeah. It feels actually like bullying now. Well, a bit. But he says bath and I say bath. So it's different in a way.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Yeah. Yeah, run me a bath. Yeah. Yeah, isn't bath the English way? Oh, yeah. I do not say bath. I say bath, not bath. No, and I say President Taft.
Starting point is 00:47:02 So we'll agree to disagree. Yeah. All right. Here agree to disagree. Yeah. All right. Here's who wrote the answers. The nude painted selfie. That was the house, as was George Washington's gold. Using the White House
Starting point is 00:47:16 to house animals, amazingly, was written by Alexis. Well, the first time. I loved it and I could you know the problem is
Starting point is 00:47:29 that might have also happened I've got to check 1909 history now it was unsubstantiated wasn't it any of these could have been
Starting point is 00:47:36 unsubstantiated rumours he left the back door open a squatter moved in refused to leave for six months that was Dave also a very fun image. Meaning the correct answer was he got stuck in the bath.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Oh, in the bath. That's great. Well played, sir. Well played. So we really probably should get a score update now. I have good news and some not so good news. You've lost power on your laptop?
Starting point is 00:48:05 This isn't on. Combined, you are beating the house. Yes, well done. Cumulatively. Teamed up. But separately, you're both losing. Okay. Bollocks.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Okay. Dave, you've managed to get three points. Thank you. Manage. Succeeded. Thank you. In achieving get three points thank you manage succeeded thank you in achieving three points thank you
Starting point is 00:48:29 Alexis you're nipping closer at the house's heels with four points and the house is stagnant at five
Starting point is 00:48:38 oh well done oh it's tightened up for the last round that's very very tight and I also
Starting point is 00:48:43 have to fact check myself it was Grover Cleveland I was thinking of it's tightened up for the last round. That's very, very tight. And I also have to fact check myself. It was Grover Cleveland I was thinking of. It's not Taft. Did you have a chance to Google that? Yeah, Taft looks like a walrus. He does look like a man that we get stuck in about. But I believe the non-gifted...
Starting point is 00:48:55 Oh my God, if I'd have seen that picture, I'd have gone with the gold. Show him. He wouldn't have gone three days without a meal. That's what he looks like. Look at that. Yes, but no, in my mind I think it's... Can you Google this? Grover Cleveland on consecutive terms.
Starting point is 00:49:13 I will get tweets. I don't want them. This is every podcast I've ever done with Dave ends with him sweating and going, actually, I think I said something wrong. What was his name? Can we edit out the bit where I... Grover Cleveland. Grover. Because it's always an
Starting point is 00:49:28 unnecessary fact he throws in as well. You didn't have to do that. That's the thing, I felt really smug that I knew something and it was wrong. I'm sure it's Grover Cleveland. Same vibe. He looks exactly the same, don't you think? Yeah, he's got a worse moustache. Oh, bloody hell. Oh, alright.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Another moustache plays for him. The mopo. Anyway, we can sort this out in our own time. Here is question number seven. Final question. Anyone's game here? So this is a big one. And we always finish with a movie synopsis, Alexis.
Starting point is 00:49:59 So you'll need a little bit more time to write, which is lucky because I got some info on that bath. So the final question comes from David Malofsky from London. You in, David? It's not far from here, but... There speaks the Aussie. We travelled for 40 hours to be here. We travelled for 40 hours
Starting point is 00:50:28 and we went straight to a pie minister. Alright? We respect you. Respect us. Alright, the question is what is the synopsis of the 2000 film Ginger Snaps?
Starting point is 00:50:42 What is the synopsis of the 2000 film Ginger Snaps? While your answers synopsis of the 2000 film Ginger Snaps? While your answers are being written, here is some more information about that taft bath from Mental Floss. Ask your average American
Starting point is 00:50:56 what they know about their nation's 27th President and 10th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. And they'll probably say something like, well, he was so fat that he got stuck in the bathtub. The schadenfreude... How do you say schadenfreude? Schadenfreude.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Thank you. The schadenfreude and lace tail in which six men had to be called to dislodge William Howard Taft from his bath time predicament is legendary. Yet the problem with this anecdote isn't that we've been body shaming Taft for an entire century, it's that it's a lie. Despite the story's ubiquity in the popular imagination, it probably never happened. There is no substantial historical proof of the great bathtub sticking incident during Taft's
Starting point is 00:51:43 White House tenure. It seems to have been just a piece of gossip with incredible endurance. None of this is to say that Taft didn't enjoy a good bath. He certainly did, and he went to great lengths to take them. In 1909, the
Starting point is 00:52:02 2,000 pound... What do you mean great lengths? What does that mean? He went to Great Lakes. In 1909, the 2,000-pound, 7-foot-long custom bathtub he brought with him on a trip to Panama in the USS North Carolina, on the USS North Carolina ship, was the subject of an entire article in a journal called Engineering Review. You don't call that a great length? He had a custom bath made so he could have them on the ship.
Starting point is 00:52:41 The engineers took notice. Do you not think it's a bit sus that he had a seven foot long bath made though? Do you think he might have got stuck in a slightly smaller one? Yeah. A regular six foot ain't big enough for this guy. That's not a bad point.
Starting point is 00:53:00 In that article there was a photo underneath showing four men resting inside the bath. Wow. The tub's manufacturers told the journal that it was the largest tub they'd ever made. Taft took the bathtub along when he moved into the White House later that year. The White House. And he also had a supersized tub installed on his presidential yacht in 1910.
Starting point is 00:53:26 While this story isn't true, Taft did, however, have a verified bathtub incident. Leave it there. In 1915, while attending a banker's conference after he left office, he went to take a bath in the New Jersey hotel where he was staying. He didn't quite get the water level right and when he stepped in, so much water surged out that it flooded the floor and water began trickling down through the floor into the hotel's dining room below where the bankers who were waiting for him to finish his bath
Starting point is 00:53:56 and come back down were sitting. The unfortunate flood made it into the New York Times, among other papers, but the president took it in his stride. The Times reported that at one point as his trip came to a close, he looked out at the ocean and said, I'll get a piece of that fenced in someday and then when I venture in, there won't
Starting point is 00:54:16 be any overflow. Yeah, he took it in his stride there. What a guy. How long do you think you'd have to be trapped in a bath before you start calling out for help? Do you think it's like minutes or you like really got to wait a long time? I mean, are you in the White House? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Depends on the water temperature. Who do you trust to get you out? Secret Service. Sworn to protect and serve. You can redact all the information as well as yeah that's right or have everyone who helped you executed yeah I'd just get six men and then kill them
Starting point is 00:54:52 yeah that's the only way preferably firefighters yeah that's true that's the problem because your wiener would be warmed early. But as you remain stuck in the bath, your wiener would... Like a reverse frog in a saucepan.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Maybe your wiener would never even notice that it is no longer warm. All right, here's the final question. Okay. What is the synopsis of the 2000 film? You guys really do pronounce things differently, don't you? It's amazing. It's such an issue that a lot of the things I do are about talking and reading because I don't do either of them well. What is the synopsis of the 2000 film Ginger Snaps?
Starting point is 00:55:56 When Malcolm Ginger finds out the company he's worked for his whole life is reneging on his retirement package, he snaps. A musical. A melanin-challenged college boy goes on a psychotic rampage to avenge his mocking blonde and brunette peers. Blonde and brunette, so the black-haired people are safe?
Starting point is 00:56:24 Well, maybe they were just the friendly ones. I don't know. Okay. Blonde and brunette, so the black-haired people are safe? Well, maybe they were just the friendly ones. I don't know. Okay. A grandfather tries to connect with his long-lost grandson by buying one of every biscuit in the biscuit aisle. Surely the kid will like one of them. That's good stuff. On the night of her first period,
Starting point is 00:56:55 Ginger is savagely attacked by a wild creature. Her wounds miraculously heal, but something is not quite right. She is becoming a werewolf. Or finally, a Girl Scout troop needs to sell a record amount of cookies to save their local hall. But things take a turn when they discover the secret ingredient in their trademark
Starting point is 00:57:15 ginger snap cookies is them. Now they have to decide what's more important, saving the hall or their lives? Oh! So you've got five good options there. Are you feeling confident to jump in here, Alexis? I was all ready to go for that last one until, well, you know the moment. To me it read like, Ginger Snaps, rated PG.
Starting point is 00:57:47 And then it took a dark 18-rated turn. So, even... I mean, in a sea of ludicrousness, I'm going to go for the werewolf period one. Locked that in for Alexis. What are you thinking, Dave? I was also on board with that final movie about the Girl Scouts. What was the first couple?
Starting point is 00:58:10 First one, Malcolm Ginger. And he snaps. That's a musical about Malcolm Ginger who gets angry about the company reneging on his
Starting point is 00:58:22 retirement package. Number two. Melanin challenge college boy goes on a psychotic rampage. Melanin challenge is a great phrase. I don't relate. Then. Then, sorry, grandfather. Sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 00:58:42 Sorry, I forgot what I was doing for a second. No, I did ask for the first two, then I realised I can't remember any of them, so please. Grandfather tries to connect with his long-lost grandson by buying all the biscuits. Okay. Then we had the girl on her period werewolf, and then the Girl Scout troop that had to decide whether to sell the cookies that they were inside to save the whole world. You really have to work on your elevator pitch for this. Yeah, whatever.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Something happens. I'm greenlighting all of these. Work it out later. I'm going to go with... Now I've gone blank again. I think I'm going to go with Melanin Challenged Boy. Someone loved that.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Yes. Do you know the film? You relate to this character? Melanin Challenged boy. Someone loved that. Yes. Do you know the film? Do you relate to this character? You relate to this character? Melanin challenged. And he's going after blonde and brunettes. Yep. So, gingers?
Starting point is 00:59:33 Yes. Dark haired people? Safe. Yeah, well, he's ginger. Ginger snaps. All right, mate. Some of us don't get the subtext, okay? I'm going to go with that one.
Starting point is 00:59:47 I like it because that one didn't actually have to say that the character snapped. Unlike that musical, really spelt it out. All right, let's go through who wrote these. And we know that the scores are tight, so this is anyone's game here. Anyone's game. Is this literally anyone's game here. Anyone's game. Is this literally anyone's game?
Starting point is 01:00:07 Be honest. I'd argue it's possibly not your game. Anyone was generous, but thank you. All right, here are who wrote the answers. The musical about Malcolm Ginger and the retirement package. That was the house. Grandfather trying to reconnect with his long-lost grandson, buying every biscuit in the biscuit aisle.
Starting point is 01:00:30 That was Dave. Again, a true story. For the record, I liked Monte Carlo's the best. Yes, Monte Carlo's. Thank you, grandfather. You have Monte Carlo's over here, probably? I don't think so. Oh, wow. I thought I was going for a very famous biscuit. Would you have Garib over here, probably? I don't think so. No.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Oh, wow. I thought I was going for a very famous biscuit. Would you have Garibaldi's here? Yeah. Okay. That's my favourite then. Are you Australian from Monte Carlo, Ben? It's the king of biscuits.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Yeah, we're so much closer to Monte Carlo here. It's like a jam cream mix. Oh, it's so good. But kind of confectionery. Yeah, some people will tell you that a Kingston is a king of biscuits. Do you have a Kingston here? No. Okay, all right. Well, have a fucking penguin.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Got custard creams. Or a Tim Tam that's basically a penguin rip-off. Yeah, that's right. A little upgrade on the penguin. You showed me the difference between a penguin and a Tim Tam. Penguins have feathers. Sorry, that was really controversial. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 01:01:28 What were we doing? Oh, yes. The Girl Scout troop. That was the house. Yeah, they're shocked. Oh, that's good. Oh, hang on. Oh, that's not the one I chose.
Starting point is 01:01:39 No, you zagged when you almost zigged right into my trap. Zagging is good in this case. I thought the Girl Scout one was good, so that's good. That was a bit of a collaboration, me and David. He wrote a believable one and I added the stupid stuff to it. Sorry, David. Then we had Melanin Challenge College Boy goes on a psychotic rampage, which Dave chose.
Starting point is 01:02:07 That was Alexis. Oh, great work. Meaning Alexis got the correct answer. On the night of her first period, Jinder is savagely attacked by a wild creature and becomes a werewolf. Wow. Well, fuck me sideways. Lovely.
Starting point is 01:02:24 Now, is that old English as well? Yep. Fuck me sideways. That's two points for Alexis. Wow. No points for Dave. No points for the house. Do you want to give us a score update?
Starting point is 01:02:34 Or if you've got a tabulate, I can quickly tell people how the movie was received. I can't add two. So I've done it. Do you want the scores now? I'll give you some time. All right. Just a double check. If you could double scores now? I'll give you some time. Alright. Just to double check. If you could double check my score
Starting point is 01:02:49 that would be really good. Yeah, it might it might take me a while. How do you reckon this movie would have gone, Helena? Because your podcast is all about movies re-evaluating movies
Starting point is 01:02:57 that you loved in childhood and watching them again seeing if they hold up. What's your gut instinct on Ginger Snaps? It's giving me definite Carrie vibes. Oh, yeah. I haven't seen Carrie's that,
Starting point is 01:03:11 about someone who gets a period and then becomes a werewolf. It's not far off. I mean, this could be as violent. It sounds fun. It sounds, I don't know. I hate the name ginger. Okay okay and i feel like that's i'd just be like did your parents just not care like did they just say the first thing they saw could you've been called swabs or forceps if like they'd look the other way like
Starting point is 01:03:39 wait what is there something in English hospitals called ginger? Or is that... Wait, you said that's one of the first things you see. Wait, what is it? Like the kid is ginger. And they call the kids ginger. I thought maybe... Of all the people that should get this.
Starting point is 01:04:02 Why is this? I thought there might have been like, you might have somehow used the garnish in the... That's not... We season our children as they come out. That's what we do. He'll pinch his throat. I love cultural differences.
Starting point is 01:04:21 Let's not let him deliver the baby. Oh, yeah, Matt, you're not delivering the baby. Bay leaf behind each ear. Yeah, that's what we do. We put beetroot on their heads, but... See, I don't think... I don't know. I'd watch it.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Okay. Well, get this. So it's a Canadian horror film, and it has, on Rotten Tomatoes from the critics a 90% positive rating. No. That's high. This surprised me. Scott Tobias from AV Club wrote
Starting point is 01:04:52 a smart, resourceful and wickedly funny teen horror film that reinvents the werewolf myth as a potent metaphor for pubescent angst and humiliation. And then Tom Charity of Time Out wrote I think English people
Starting point is 01:05:07 will enjoy this. This isn't That wasn't part of the review. No. That was not No I think I think English people might enjoy
Starting point is 01:05:16 his review is what I was trying to say. But I don't know. I mean I don't understand English people at all. He wrote This isn't just a good horror movie, it's a good movie, period. No, they also hated it.
Starting point is 01:05:34 All right, let's get a final score check. So, in last place. Okay, I prefer third. Right at the bottom in third. Holding up the rest. Supporting contender, Dave Warnicke. Thank you, everyone. I felt the love tonight.
Starting point is 01:05:55 I appreciate you. And that's with three points. Three points. Thank you so much. And then just pipped at the post with five points, we have the house. Ooh! We are definitely editing that bit out from before.
Starting point is 01:06:13 That is ignoring the help that the house gave. Oh, come on. You're the adjudicator. You can accept or deny it. You've got the final word. Make that clear. This would have been a very different game. Alexis is in first place with six points.
Starting point is 01:06:31 That's it. It was a fair game. And I want to thank all my fellow competitors. Thanks so much for playing. Thanks for being involved. Where can people find you, Alexis? Well, I'm currently touring. I'm pretending to be a Frenchman
Starting point is 01:06:48 and going on tour as Marcel Lucan. It's a best of of my greatest oeuvre as that character from the... Multi-award winning character as well in comedy.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Most of the awards I've won have been by pretending to be French. Most. So this is the one to see. Most. And my Birmingham show is on the 9th of October. Was on the 9th of October.
Starting point is 01:07:13 So if you didn't see it, you can all go fuck yourselves. It's been and gone. It was at the Glee Club. There you go. But yeah. And you, Helena? You can find me at Hey, I Love That Movie, where we re-watch the movies we loved when we were younger
Starting point is 01:07:25 to see if they still hold up. So yeah, 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. We're stoked if we get above 40%. Wow. We had bad taste as kids. You've watched some really brutal films. Yeah. You've got to have me on.
Starting point is 01:07:40 I want to do Teen Wolf with Michael J. Fox. Oh, fantastic. What's that got on Rotten Tomatoes? Tomatoes. I don't want to. Actually, I don't want to do Teen Wolf with Michael J. Fox. Ah, fantastic. What's that got on Rotten Tomatoes? Tomatoes. I don't want to. Actually, I don't want to watch it again. I imagine it holds up for sure, though. Oh, we always do.
