Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, mates. It's me, the titular Matt Stewart in the year 2025 to let you know that my new comedy special, Best Man, is now available to watch for free on the Humdinger YouTube channel. So you can go watch that now. Already getting a lot of nice comments, a lot of nice feedback. I really appreciate that. Now, if you want to see me live, I'm touring my new show, Bad Boy, as well as this show, who knew with Matt Stewart, doing a double-header tour. And, yeah, heading. out on the road this week, going to Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide, Hobart, and then over to the UK, early September for Edinburgh, Cambridge, Birmingham, Manchester, Swansea, first ever gig in Wales, and then finishing up with a big show in London, which is just about sold out,
Starting point is 00:00:51 by the way. So if you want to grab tickets, get on them quick, and I can't wait to see you there. Come say hi, have a beer. Now let's get on with the show. Welcome to Who Knew with Matt Stewart, the show where the guest write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart. Our first guest is from Upper Middle Bogan and the Project. It's Dave Thornton. Oh, the project. Oh, sorry, guys.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Just a moment's silent. Yeah, poor one out. What happened? I've been in Adelaide. Didn't you hear? I did put a post out that said it's been Beef Wellington and that was, that's separated people. Yeah. some people went ha ha that's a very funny way to describe it's not funny someone yeah i don't know i reckon
Starting point is 00:01:35 i'm for i'm with erin free erin i say is aaron the mushroom killer a legend alleged alleged if she gets off it'll be a bit o jesque i'm not gonna lie well i mean she they sound like cuss the people she killed and that's no it don't or allegedly yeah allegedly they don't sound like very nice people right and sure is that an excuse to die No. But we like, you know, Ned Kelly, we love an underdog. We love a cop killer. We love, you know, we love people that murder.
Starting point is 00:02:10 This has gone hard. I've had to get a lawyer within the first three minutes of this podcast. Am I being spicy? I'm just, I'm literally just saying my thoughts out loud to you. Yeah. And can't we do that anymore? I'm trying to figure it out, okay? I'm trying to get to the bottom of it.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Allegedly. Just say, at the end of the sentence. No, I'm, because it's all just bullshit. Oh, yeah? And no one's going to sue me. I don't have any, I've got, I'm, what are you going to do? Take my debt.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Actually, that could be great. Yeah. Imagine you trick someone into suing you and they had to pay your debt. That's actually, he plays a longer. This guy, just character assassinations left right and soon. Say spicier things. Make it even worse. I have no power.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I have no say. I'm a fucking idiot. Why are people taking what I, say they're not. Yeah, good. So stop. This is your idea, Dave. You said that.
Starting point is 00:03:05 No, I simply pointed at the doorway and went, how is that? I'm walking in here. Just because you've got stuff to lose and capital and children, you know? People can sue me for my children. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they can take them. Can they? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Oh, geez. Like a hell. Okay. I'm backpedaling now. Although, if you want to take it for a couple of days, that's cool. Yeah. Woodmone of schnoz. And then we'll be back on.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Our second guest this week is host of the Maron has a crush on podcast. It's Maron May. Oh, hello. How's it going? Yeah, really good. I know. In the room, obviously, I've skipped over another guest. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I've written this out in order and I just read as it's written. Yeah, yeah. No, I appreciate that. Yeah, okay, great. It would have been really good if you said the host of Maron has a crush is Ben Russell. That would have been. That's, yeah. And I'm still, apparently, I've, uh, since.
Starting point is 00:03:58 spoke last. I've slipped back to calling you Marin. It's a real pain in the ass. I haven't noticed, but how dare you? Marron, maran. And our third guest this week is from Aunty Donner's coffee cafe in the emu war. It's Ben Russell. Hello. Hello, Ben Russell. Uh, yes, the emu war where you can see me a suckle on a giant emu tit. Can you? Yeah. Was it part of the script? Are you just riffing?
Starting point is 00:04:25 No, you do, you do what you love. You never work a day in your life. There you go. There you go, Maron. He's got a crush on Amy Bruce. Yeah, yeah. And who could blame him? Yeah, exactly. How can you resist that big?
Starting point is 00:04:39 I'm flesh and blood. So the way the show works is ask a relatively obscure trivia question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answer as well as the real one. And I have to guess which one is correct. And the first question comes from listener, Isabel McTeer from Sacramento, California. Sacramento. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Sacktown. All right. Awesome. Yeah, cool. Home with the Kings, baby. Light the beam. Yeah, light the beam. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:05:05 And Isabel's question, are they the least talked about basketball team? I forget they exist a lot. The Kings. Yeah. Yeah, they're notoriously crap and have been since they moved to Sacramento like 40 years ago. Sacramento is the capital. California, that's right, yeah. Of California.
Starting point is 00:05:22 California. So, Isabel's question is, what does. skookum mean skookum S K-O-K-U-M Skookum if you got them While you're writing your answers I'll explain how the scoring works
Starting point is 00:05:38 You get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant Another point if you correctly guess the answer By the way I'm also playing as the house And I'm putting two of my own fake answers For each question with the help of the question writers I get a point for each of these That I guess choose
Starting point is 00:05:51 So each of us can score up to three points per round Which seems fair to probably He actually favours me at the house and the House always wins, so if you've listened to previous episodes, you'll know that is not necessarily the case. Anyway, most of our questions coming away, great Patreon supporters. If you want to submit a question, sign up on any level by Patreon.com slash do go on Pod, linked in the show notes.
Starting point is 00:06:08 And hey, well, I've got you, film these episodes these days. And they usually put a clip up, uh, which is, you know, requested by the followers at who knew it pod on Instagram, maybe Facebook, etc. Uh, and then you can see the clips there. Why not follow us? That'd be nice. All right, the answers are in. Here is question one.
Starting point is 00:06:31 What does skukum mean? The name given to the leftover pipe meal after the cleaning of a flu chimney. That's option one. Option two. A Norwegian term of endearment for a teacher. Option three, the residue after birds lactate milk. The last part is the skukum. Who wrote that?
Starting point is 00:06:53 Option four, wild coincidence. Option four. A powdered mix of tobacco and caffeine, popular amongst ice truckers of the Arctic archipelago. Option 5. Brave, strong and monstrously significant. Or finally, the soft furry bit between the emu teats. All right. Okay, you can't, we have to get, if they're callbacks, guys, then I know it's you.
Starting point is 00:07:22 It could be a coincidence It could be a fucking crazy coincidence You're supposed to be the good guy on this pod What's going on? I am by telling you I'm just I'm actually being good by saying I could keep quiet And just have the edge on you this whole time
Starting point is 00:07:38 As you call back Back and forth And I know exactly who you are Okay But I'm not about that I'm about good sports personship You are good You're one of the best sports
Starting point is 00:07:47 I'm one of the best sports In the world Sportspersonship Absolutely I can lose with a smile on my face Dave you got the first go here Do you need to hear any of them again or you I would a couple of the early ones please
Starting point is 00:08:02 So you got the name given to the leftover pipe meal After the cleaning of the flu chimney Norwegian term of endearment for a teacher Residue after a bird's lactate milk The last part is scu cum I hope I'm pronouncing that right Pounded mix of tobacco and caffeine Popular amongst ice truckers of the Arctic Carapelago
Starting point is 00:08:21 brave strong and monstrously significant or the soft furry bit between emu teeth so can you remind me again i've got to pick the right one not the right one yeah okay uh i'm going with the norwegian term of endearment for a teacher what can i know for dave what do you think ben well there's only three aren't there um there's there's uh the chimney there's the Norwegian teacher skookum skookum good they have no skikim
Starting point is 00:08:57 are they good skukin skukum what are learning they imply skikin and I can hear that you know that feels real that feels like it could be real my teacher today
Starting point is 00:09:09 will such a skukim oh he is a grad teacher teacher woulda skik him he's the best skuking middle of Oswald. Yeah, a totaled skooker. I'm going to go, fuck, it's a toss-up between those three.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Since you went, the skukum. I'll go the other skukum. I'll go ice trucker. Ice trucker. All right, looking in for Ben. That leaves Maron. I do want to stress that there is more than three options because it could be that.
Starting point is 00:09:45 No, Maron. It could be that people will. just talking about emus a lot. Yes, that is true. That's what the kids talk about now. If that is a coincidence, I will. You have to eat your hat. I'll eat my butt, my own butt.
Starting point is 00:10:01 That's more impressive. Okay, I'm going to go with the, was it the first one? And we haven't picked that one yet. The chimney, flew chimney? Yeah, yeah. Because was it Norwegian? Yeah. I'm interested in which are the ones you're ruling out, Ben, because there are six options.
Starting point is 00:10:17 You're ruling out three of them. You're rolling out the two emus. What's the other one you're ruling out? The other, the... Brave, strong and monstrously significant. Oh, that's one. That's one. Okay, no, I don't.
Starting point is 00:10:30 I'm going to keep my... I don't want to think about that. What are you think, though? I'm going to go, what was the first one again? Leftover pipe meal after the cleaning of a flu trial. Oh, what was it? There's one more, the third. Residue after birds lactate milk.
Starting point is 00:10:47 The last part of... skukum. That's silly. I'm not going for that. Powdered mix of tobacco and caffeine, popular amongst ice truckers or brave, strong and monstrously significant. Okay now let's go with the first one. Go the chimney. All right. The Scandinavian, that's just nonsense and I hope it's not
Starting point is 00:11:03 the right answer. Scandinavians are nonsense. You're so not being a skierkin right now. That's very unscookable. All right. This is who wrote the answers. The soft very bit between the emu-teets. That was marron. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Marron. But that still leaves the other one. Could be. Could be. But it's not the one about bird come. That was Dave. Of course it was. Am I saying that right?
Starting point is 00:11:32 I should be better. There was no, I wasn't saying that. It wasn't, I was, I literally, because I don't know how to spell it. So I just put it in a sentence at the end of it. And you had then put the inference that I was alluding to that. I was more saying, like any other mammal that lactates, there's usually a little bit at the end. The residuid. The last part.
Starting point is 00:11:48 So you just, it was, you were doing it again. Yeah. I'm so sorry, Dave. That's all. I mean, it's your pod. You can do whatever you want with it. I feel like Ben had already ruled it out anyway. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I mean, there's no one dying on this hill. He could not feel less. I'm far more too intelligent to fall for such a rub and a rude trick. I get sparse his kid. The Norwegian term been dimming for a teacher. My aren't said that was nonsense. Dave said it was correct. It was nonsense, I'm afraid.
Starting point is 00:12:16 That was Isabel, the question writer, came up with that one. What done, Isabel? Sack down, baby. Maron went for the pipe meal, the residue after cleaning a flu chimney. That was Ben Russell. Oh, Ben Russell. Gotcha. How dare you?
Starting point is 00:12:34 I don't even know what pipe meal is. Sounds disgusting. It does. Sounds good. Ben went for the powdered mix between tobacco and caffeine. That was the house, I'm afraid. Wow. Meaning the correct answer was brave, strong or monstrously significant.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Which is such a specific meaning. But anyway, skookum. Skookum, skookum man. Scoopum man. Monstrously significant man. It's chum. I'm pretty skookum. That guy's skookum.
Starting point is 00:13:08 He's so skookum. It's a Chinook jargon term. uses slang in the American Pacific Northwest slash Canada meaning this is a coordinator Isabel meaning brave, strong or monstrously significant as a local I always hear it after someone built or fixed something they would give it a slap and say that's skookum meaning that's not going anywhere
Starting point is 00:13:34 That's great You can do that with people as well give him a slap Say that's skookum, you're scookum That's rock solid He'll be there when you need him He's skook him Yeah, I like that. Like they're a racehorse.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Look at that. Dirty. That's a thick. That's Scoopum. Yeah. Significant skookum. Monstrously. So, after round one, we got points for Ben.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Yes. I'm two for the house. Holy shit. Hot stuff for the house. We've got to stop the house, everyone. This house is skukum, I'll tell you. Question two comes from Rachel Ball from London. And the question is which of these are real species of beetles?
Starting point is 00:14:12 So, Dave, this one, you've just got to stop. to come up with the name of a species of beetle. Like the common name, not the Latin or anything, just the common name of a species of beetle. Don't have to describe it or anything, just the name. I'm moving across to a Facebook messenger too. Oh my God. You're moving backwards.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Yeah, I'm coming the wrong way. Here's some more info about Skookum. Chinook Jorgon is a form of pigeon English. It's a mix of indigenous languages used by the local tribes, as well as English and French from the French trappers that colonize the area. Many of the town names and slang terms are based on this language. It is unfortunately a critically endangered language, but locals are fighting to preserve
Starting point is 00:14:53 it, even starting a dual language preschool where children learn Chinook jargon and English. Bit of fun. Love these questions. Listeners want to think of topic, question suggestions. You're all right, man. I think, I just checking in. Just want to make sure you're all right. I just think local.
Starting point is 00:15:12 local jargon and slang terms. Yeah. Fantastic. Okay. Fantastic place to look for questions for this show. Yeah. We love a bit of slang. You could have some German slang sometime.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Maybe when it's not me because I would. Yeah, you'd be pretty good. We have, we've definitely had some German slang. Canst de Nix machin. You can say that all the time. Canst not when you... Nix makken. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Can't do anything about it. What are you going to do? Cast a niche mountain. Beautiful. Gail. Yeah. Oh, that's German. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Answering for question number two. Which of these are real species of beetle? The tiny bearded hornbug. Turquoise Madagascan cricket. Ringo Star Beetle. Peter's Beetle. Devil's... Devil's coach horse or teddy twinkle toes.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Teddy twinkle toes Here he is, bloody old Teddy Tinkle toes That's a race car driver, is it not? Yeah, he's quick So you got tiny bearded hornbug Turquoise Madagascan cricket Ringo Star Beetle Peter the Beetle
Starting point is 00:16:27 Devil's Coach Horse Or Teddy Twinkle Toes Ben, what do you reckon? Well, I mean It's not going to be the one That's a cricket You know what I mean? Oh, you're saying
Starting point is 00:16:36 Crickets aren't Beatles I mean, do I have to say Otherwise we'd call them Beatles You know what I mean? Are you sure? I don't know. And I have no understanding of beetles in order to have any hope of knowing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:58 But I mean, one of them is called a horse, you know. Yeah, but it's got a beetle on the end. No, that's just devil's coach horse. Yeah, but that's cool enough. That's cool. That's its own thing. But cricket, you're not going to call it a cricket because it's too close to a cricket. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Be too confusing. But maybe it looks, you know, like it's a maddo of a sport or something. Oh, it's one of those ones that could be wrongly classified or wrongly named. That's what I was thinking when, you know, when the English do turn up and colonise something, go, it's a cricket. And technically we found out it's a beetle. Like the quala bear. All those people are Indians. Well, they live in a different continent.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Indians. They really do fuck everything. Ringo Star Beetle. He really genuinely... Bringo Sarveo. Yeah. You going for that one? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Okay. Is that yours? Hey? Is that yours? That sounds like something you would say, Dave. Is that yours, David? Look at me, David. Don't, look at me, guys.
Starting point is 00:17:56 The accusation of just a bad answer was thrown directly my way. Okay. Remembering Dave, someone has written that. So I'm not going to lock it in, but if, purely based on Dave's eyes lighting up when I said it. Yeah. He just got so excited. Oh, yeah. Didn't you?
Starting point is 00:18:13 But that, but he turned on you. He could just be a Betel maniac, though. He could just love. And then you got really defensive when I said, you know, that's... Yeah. I look forward to finding out who wrote that really bad answer. That's words. Not mine.
Starting point is 00:18:27 What about you, Maron? No, wait, I'm not done. Oh, you're not done. When you said you locked it in, that wasn't what you meant? No, I said I didn't. I'm not looking. Oh, you're not looking in. Oh, you're not looking in.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Oh. What? So, yeah, I'm taking it away. from you. He was trying to tell you it was not his answer. Yeah, but that's what he wants me to think. He's doing a double fake. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Okay? You can't trust any of these people. Yeah, you've called a double bluff here. Who's to know the cricket isn't a double fake? Oh. It's getting confusing. I reckon the horse. The horse is the winner.
Starting point is 00:19:04 What? To you? Well, I think if you're going to say... And you have the answers. No, I'm saying... I'm going to go the horse. It's a cricket. I'm saying it.
Starting point is 00:19:12 If you're going to say something is mislabeled, the horse has really overdone it. Well, maybe it's a really big cricket. Maybe it's just a funny bit. Like, you're looking at a bug and you go, well, that's a horse, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. So you're locking in cricket or horse? I'm going to go wringo stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Ringgo stuff, baby. Just because I think it feels too stupid to be the house. It could be, it's too stupid enough to be real or it's stupid enough to be Dave's. So either way, I'll give Dave a point and not. not the house. So I'm thinking strategically here and lock it in. Locked in. There's much planning.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Myron, what do you think? I mean, my feelings are hurt. I just want to get that on the record. Not even allegedly, factually. Oh, no. Wow. Cut soon for that. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:19:59 So much planning. I always just go with what feels right. I did like the Pete's. What's that? Pete's Beetle. Peter's Beetle. Peter's Beetle? Peter?
Starting point is 00:20:07 I like to imagine that there is a... That makes my beetle. Exactly. That's got a really nice rhythm to it, I think. A great beetle, Peter. Oh, Peter, that's a great beetle. Right? Giggedy, giggity.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I'm not knocking that in, though. You're not logging it in. No, no, I just like to imagine there was a sat peter somewhere. And he found a beetle, and then someone that names beetles was like, you know what, Peter. That's Peter's Bedeer's Biddle. This is your Beda Forever now. It's not my answer, though. What was the first one?
Starting point is 00:20:37 Tiny bearded hornbug. Second one. Turquoise Madagascan cricket. Oh, that's the cricket. That's the cricket one. Oh, my God. I'm sorry. They're having a great colour, too.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Yeah. The other three. Ringgo Star Beetle, Peter's Beetle, Devil's Coach Horse or Teddy Twinkle Toes. Teddy. No, the second last one, I reckon. Devil's Coach Horse. Oh, it's so tricky.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Oh my God. No, I'm going to go with the horse because that is a funny bit. Yeah. And it could be, maybe I should also be strategic. It could be Ben Russell. I reckon. It's not good. Anyway, I'm doing...
Starting point is 00:21:16 You can't believe anything he says. He's a heel. No, I wouldn't... No, no. I'm not a heel. I'm rebranding. Yeah, yeah. This is real heel behaviour.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Couldn't agree more. Dave, what do you reckon? Marin, I do like that idea. Peter Beatle. Just, we'll name it after you. The Fitzgerald, Beatle. No, no, no. Peter, my first day.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Okay, that's your thing. Okay. What's the first one again? The tiny bearded hornbug. It's my wife calls me. Nope. Noop. There's that one.
Starting point is 00:21:52 But Dave, you're quite a tall mat. Oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Wait, you've got kids, so you wouldn't have, you wouldn't have sex.
Starting point is 00:22:02 All right, mate. Firstly, you've accused me of the worst name here. And now you're besmirching. Any of my activity in the booble. Yes, that's a stereotype, but that's a stereotype that's reinforced by people that have kids. Yeah, he's got me. You're always tired. You're always sick.
Starting point is 00:22:23 That's it. That's kids. Congrats. I've got enough friends with kids now that it's like, yeah, little fuckers are all just sick and filled with snot at all times. Yeah. That's children. There's not a lot of time for romance. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Probably doesn't help with my partner's working from home and I just tap her on the shoulder. I go, like, I'm bored. I don't think that leads into it. Get away, your horn, mate. Tiny bearded horn, mate. Tiny bearded horn, mate. I call the Peter Beetle. Peter Beetle's awake, baby.

Starting point is 00:25:20 A hornbug? Because if you're that much of a fan of Ringo Star, that's the sort of silly thing that someone would do. Yeah, that's wacky stuff. Yeah, because they love... Octopuses play little gardens. He's the funny one. Hey, I'm the crazy one.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I'm funny. What do you do? Yellow Submarine Apparently that was it I was reading this week that he was probably the most popular in America in the early days That's why he got a song to sing on every album

No, but it wasn't it, Beatles was a reference to their haircut. Wasn't their haircut, supposedly, like, called the beetle? I don't know. I don't know if people had reverse engineered that. They got the haircut and then everyone called it, the beetle. Or, because it kind of does look like the beetle, like a shell of a beetle. Remember their old hair cut They're just sweeping across their fringe
Starting point is 00:27:10 That makes some sense to me And then they changed the E to an A To make it like Sort of a pun Yeah, just some separation Although I did find out recently They wrote the Rolling Stones First Ever Breakthrough song
Starting point is 00:27:23 Yeah I want to be your man Or no, is that it? Something like that And they were really guns for hire They would just go up to bands And go do you want a song And just go to the pub
Starting point is 00:27:32 Come back half an hour later Yeah so I heard that sort Like Mick and Keith Were bumped into them and they're like, oh, we've got this half-written song and they went to a corner of the pub and finished something like, oh, you can't, here you go. Hey, guys, can you help us with this?
Starting point is 00:27:44 And they're like, okay, let's go. We'll do this. All right. Yeah, right. It's changed. That's skulcum. Yes. That's skulcum.
Starting point is 00:27:56 And we sit and we write some hits. That's the other. That's the other liver pill. They do the other one, though, don't they? I don't think there exists anymore. I think it's very old-fashioned. accent. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Has it changed English accents? We got in the studio there and we said, you know, that's Kulham. And that's another record. You know, and we was just in a garage, we didn't know. Is that Billy Conley? Yeah. Nice.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Being, um, a beetle. Being a beetle. All right, we're up the question number three. Jesus. This, it's been a lot of fun. I want to be on the record. Um, this question comes from Beacon. Bigsy Stephens.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Man, can you say Bexie Stevens in a Liverpoolian accent? Bigsy Stevens. You can't trust him. Fucking Beetsy! Beatsy! Is it Bigsy or Beetsy? Beeksy. Beeksy?
Starting point is 00:28:50 Beeksy. I don't know if I can't. You can't trust him. You can't trust him. You fucking what? Oh, Bexie's from your neck of the woods, Ben. Margaret River, W.A. Gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:29:00 A gorgeous town is Margaret River. Gorgeous, if you're a surfer and gorgeous, if you like sweetberry. wine and also gorgeous if it was like in the early 2000s and uh you wanted to grow some weed um but um that's that's really it really wine and uh one yeah margare river was like that's got a bunch of weed there yeah right weed wine serve great town beautiful town pretty good yeah that's not a bad thing dog right i reckon marga river and uh bridge bridge town is one of my they're one of my favorite little towns in the south in the southwest i haven't been down there we're going to get there
Starting point is 00:29:41 Bridgetown's gorgeous okay it's got bridges in it it's not just a funny name oh really i was just going to say do they have bridges they got bridges they get bridges yeah everything that's on the label that's all you want well i like a city that tells me what it is yeah new york city it's it's the new york yes and it's a city right that is good yeah you know how app this is this is this discussion coming into Beeksie's question because the question is basically asking you to name a town.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Name a town. And the quote, well, more specifically. Bridge town. Beeksie asks, what is the oddly named town in Covington County, Mississippi? Mississippi. Mississippi. Down there, but down in the Bayou.
Starting point is 00:30:24 That's Louisiana. Yeah. Yeah. I think Mississippi has the Mississippi. But is it by you on the Mississippi. My bayou is down in Louisiana. I don't know. Is that the mouth of the Mississippi?
Starting point is 00:30:36 The Mississippi runs right through America. It's part of the Mississippi Delta. Because it all just like splinters off in its swampland and craziness. The Mississippi Goodrum. It's a crazy bit of geography that area. Miss ship. Is it oddly named? Is that the only thing we're getting?
Starting point is 00:30:54 Yeah. Okay. Well, you know, it's really it's just unique enough that Beeksie from the other side of the world has seen it on a map or something. And you're going, well, that's a funny name for a town. Ben, can I tell you a little more about the devil's coach horse? I really wish you would stop. Maron, can I tell you a bit more about the devil's coach horse? I would love to hear more.
Starting point is 00:31:17 This is according to Rachel, the question. I encountered one of these guys while on a country hike with my parents recently and thought my dad had just made up a hilariously goth name for this extremely goth-looking beetle. Renowned Beatlefax website Wikipedia.org says this beetle has been associated with the devil since the middle ages and its Irish name is the coffin cutter, which is pretty metal if you ask me. And I agree with you, Rachel. Coffin cutter's sick. That's super sick. Devil's coach horse. It's so got a, it's got a weird English accent that, but it's from like the suburbs. The beetle? Of Australia. Yeah. That's what all goths have that I knew. That's pretty sick-looking beetle
Starting point is 00:32:04 That is a sick-looking beetle actually It's a bad way It's got a bit of a cricket look about it Is it a big? You're just saying that to piss me off All right The answer in for question number three What is the oddly named town
Starting point is 00:32:19 In Covington County, Mississippi Townton Hot coffee Left Turn town What you call it Broad Meadows or Greg all of them are great answers
Starting point is 00:32:37 everyone's really stepped up so good we're up to you Maron to go first what are you thinking what was the first one Townton Townton that's I love that
Starting point is 00:32:48 that's lazy and beautiful I mean Townsville's up there yeah that's true Bill is town in French it's Town Town Town Town Town Town Town Commit to it Call it Town Town Town Town
Starting point is 00:33:01 Ville, town, town, town, now that sounds stupid, townville, yeah. Put it in it. It's two towns. Oh, yeah. Townsville. That's right, it's a town of two towns. Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it, though? Right in lock bag. Crowsnest, P-O box. Croznessness. That's a classic. Crohnest is a classic. Is that Channel 9 or something? There's a, I believe it's a, the, Yeah, the cartoon, after-school cartoon.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Yes. Croseness. Sophie Lee. Sophie Lee. And Australia's Funniestone videos. Yeah. Crow's Nest. I think it was where Channel 9 was.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Right. Maron, what do you think? They're also beautiful. You know, when you think about it, Broad Meadows, that's, surely they have broad meadows there. That's true. Yeah, I've been to Broadmeadows and it does not have very broad meadows. No. No.
Starting point is 00:33:56 It's pretty built-up area. Annie McGuire's from there. I believe that. Having been to broad meadows. That is funny, isn't it? You realize, yeah, you have made a rod for your back. You're like, this place has got broad meadows, and then you want all towns to get bigger. And then all of a sudden, you can't give what's on the label.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Yeah, we've filled it up. We filled it up. Soz, guys. There's hardly any meadow here at all. It's hustle and bustle. Yeah. Rename it. Yeah, it's an under the flight path.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Well, I guess that's fine. You can have a meadow under a flight path. Not a great sale. No, for real estate. No, it's under the flight path. So you've got to be pretty close. the airport, I guess. You'll know the times of all of them?
Starting point is 00:34:33 The only place that that works is Sydney. Where everything is under the flight park. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy how expensive everything is when you're under the flight park. And it also make me think of what's the opposite of broad? Like narrow meadows? Yeah. That's where I want to live.
Starting point is 00:34:52 I think I'm going to go with Town Town Town Town. What was it? Townton. Town. Town Abbey. That's pretty close to. Town Town Town Town Town Town. Town Town would be even better.
Starting point is 00:35:00 town even better. If you could punch it up a little. Yeah, yeah. We'll get Mississippi on the line afterwards. What do you think, Dave? You know what? Just because it peaked this list of interest, I want to go with Greg. Okay, Greg. Because I feel an Aussie would go, nah. If it isn't, isn't an Aussie? I don't know. It is an Aussie, yeah, Beeksie. Yeah, I feel like, you know, I would be driving along on a long road trip. Yeah. Place is called Greg. My favorite city in the world now, and I've been there, is because it's named Gary. Gary Indiana Oh Gary Indiana
Starting point is 00:35:31 I've gone out there What a beautiful city You've chosen It was a beautiful The birthplace of Michael Jackson Americans Would they kept Because I talk about a bit on podcasts
Starting point is 00:35:42 And Americans have said Don't I don't know if you're joking on all But don't go there It's a really dangerous place It's been the murder capital And I'm like I know what you do
Starting point is 00:35:50 You're trying to keep Gary for yourselves And we're there And it would you know There were signs Of trouble But I liked it. I loved it. It's kind of like the New Jersey of Chicago.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Right. In a way in that it's every, the, the asshole empties out into Gary. When I, I just walked around the town. Indiana. One afternoon. And when, um, when there were two security guards on the public library, I thought, oh, that's interesting. Normally on the public library, normally you don't have, um, security.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Hmm. but they want to protect those books I guess knowledge is power someone's taking the encyclopedia now when you were in gary and you felt a bit uneasy did you lay on the Australian accent real thick to be like I don't know what's going on here obviously I don't know especially with any racial tensions or anything I wouldn't know mate those security guards definitely heard yeah does that work with the German accent I'm not sure I don't think so we should be really we got to be putting on the New Zealand accent.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Do you think that would work with... Oh, cheese, bro. Oh, jeez, you got security. Yeah, that's the friendliest accent. You got fishing chips. I don't think it would work with the South African accent. I love that accent.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I don't think you'd be like, Hey, guys. Let's just have a good time. I mean, there is. It's pretty fun. To me, it's a lot of tension here, Machana. Hey, Machinas, it's time to chillax,
Starting point is 00:37:20 hey, bro. I don't know. Actually, I take that back. I am feeling a little bit more comfortable. It is. To me, it's. a lot of fun that. I think the South African accent gets a lot of shit and possibly rightly so, but I like it.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I don't know. Diplomatic immunity. There's so many classic lines in it. That was on the weekend. Oh, was it? Oh, was it? And I'm in mid-40s, you betcha. I was laying on the couch and I was waiting for him to say it. Diplomatic community is just bad. Ah, Ben, that was just you. Okay, can you give me the options again? I actually, no, I don't need to hear him. I'm going to go Greg, too. You're going to go Greg, too. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Because one of the weirdest things. I'm pouring a glass of water. It does sound like I'm going for a weird glass of. Because with Craig in America, it's crag. That's right. Craig. Craig. And Megan is Megan.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Megan, that's right. Well, it's Dave. Because I learned that when I got coffee orders and I go, dive. And then I see someone go, hey, what? Sorry, ma'am. Was it like, dare? I'd have to go, Dave. And they go, oh, Dave.
Starting point is 00:38:24 That's so funny. You can't say Dave. They can't even get Dave. fried that's well i don't know is it that or is it else i don't know because i do like they say they've got i always thought it was graham crackers but that's graham it's graham crackers yeah yeah but they're graham crack graham it's fun it's just inefficient like graham graham gra gra gra gra gra gra gra gra uh yeah i'm gonna go gregg thank you very much looking in great for 1,000 please all right here's the answers left turn town that was dave that's pretty good i was i was struggling
Starting point is 00:38:57 I was like, what do I call? And then I just went, it's just a funny idea to think they can only take my left to that. Honestly, when you hear the answer, you'll be like, oh, mine was no more or less ridiculous. What do you call it? That was Ben. Broadmeadows, that was Marron. Oh. Mara went for Townton.
Starting point is 00:39:12 That was Beeksy. On the house. Pretty tricky. Greg, Dave and Ben went for that, but I'm afraid that was the house as well. We've got to stop the house, guys. We've got to stop the house. The great answer was hot coffee. Hot coffee Mississippi.
Starting point is 00:39:26 That's silly. Hot carpet. Hard calf. You let me down, Bexie. You're blaming Beeksie? Yeah, I'm blaming Beeksie. Buddy, all three points out round go to the house. So at the halfway mark.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Blame it on Beeksy. The scores are now, Dave yet to score. Ben on one. Maron on two, but way out in front now. On six points, it's the house. All right, guys, we've got to stop the house, so just give points to each other. Hey, Dach. You get several points in the final round, remember.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Yeah, but we've got to stop the house. I can't deal with with a house win. Okay, question number four. I can't deal with it. Let's go to the house. He's on the edge of his seat. You can't see it.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I'm actually quite relaxed. I was building up to change. The theatre of the mind. Yeah, I get it. I get it. But I don't want people thinking that I'm uptight. Okay, I want people thinking that I'm chill and relaxed. He is.
Starting point is 00:40:19 He can hang out in a windy city. I can just hang out anywhere. Go on out. I'll prove it here. Question four comes from Reid from Seattle. And the question is, what was the name of the WWF wrestler who debuted on November the 22nd, 1990, and what was their gimmick? So it's a, you know, WWE these days.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Back then it was WWF. Yep. Wrestler. What was their name? Their wrestler name? And what was their gimmick? You know, like an example would be the undertaker who was like a, I, you know, a, I, you like a, I guess he was like a guy who liked corpses or something. I don't know. I've not really,
Starting point is 00:41:01 but I think he wore a long jacket and a hat. Yeah, I appreciate that. I noticed that you're looking at me intently and I did need dad. Well, yeah, was like the other two started writing quickly and you looked at me and I'm like, okay, uh, okay, example. Thank you. I love that. I don't know if my example was fantastic. That was great. Halfway through it, I realized I didn't know how to describe his work. Anyway, while they're writing, here's some more info about hot coffee. Conan Wiki, the community was established at the crossroads of two popular travel routes, the north-south Jackson's military road, and the east-west's Natchez to Fort St. Stephen's wagon road. An inn was built, and in 1870, L.J. Davis built a store and hung a coffee
Starting point is 00:41:43 pot over his store advertising the best hot coffee around. His coffee was made from Springwater in New Orleans beans and molasses drippings for sweetener. He never served cream with his coffee, believing it ruined the taste. Local politicians would visit Davis's store and buy coffee for constituents and passing travelers. The popularity of Davis's coffee led to the name of the community. Hot coffee has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names. Hey, well, he's still writing your answers.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Let's go for a quick break. All right, we're back in the answer room for question number four. What was the name of the WWF wrestler who debuted on the November 22nd, 9-8-90, and what was their gimmick? The Rewinder, a video store clerk, whose finishing move was called the tape twister. And his classic catchphrase was, be kind or get rewound. That's up your one. It shouldn't it be be-cowned or get rewound? I think it should be.
Starting point is 00:42:45 That's probably why it hasn't ended the zeit-guise, you know. Be count or get rewound. But very 1990. Yeah, very 9090. Option two, the spice monster, whose gimmick was that he was a massive spice girls fan. I did. I mean, that is during, that is the height of spice fever.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Yeah, spice mania, spice fever. Oh my God. Option three, the gobbledygooker. A giant anthropomorphic turkey that debuted by hatching out of a giant man-sized egg. Uh, option for the question's Option four, the mole man. He would create a hole in the center of the ring and pull his opponents under.
Starting point is 00:43:28 In his first match, he took Hulk Hogan underneath and Hogan wasn't seen on WWF TV for a month. Option five, the wriggler. He'd wriggle and writhe on his opponents while pinning. Or finally, the rampaging recycler. Between awesome scissor locks and half Nelson's, he espoused the benefits of recycling. Okay. Dave, we're back to you. I'll just give it to you briefly.
Starting point is 00:43:52 The Rewinder, the Spice Monster, the Gobbitty Gooker, the Mole Man, the Riggler, or rampaging Recycler. I feel with the Moll, it's a good idea, but I don't know if, I mean, maybe the Hulk's the one in a holiday and that was a nice way to do it. It was so integral back then. They wouldn't have let him disappear from a month. Yeah, this is in 90s. It would be WWE.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I don't know my history that well. Well, apparently it's still F at the stage, I think. Okay. Yeah, I think E. It only came in in the mid-90s. I love the soap opera. Yeah. So what was your answer?
Starting point is 00:44:27 2002, apparently, it changed from WWF to WWE. Yeah, to change it for the World Wildlife Foundation. Because, I mean, it is entertainment, let's be honest. I was going to go to the Rigler. The Regler. All right. Locked in for Do The Riggler
Starting point is 00:44:51 Been taken down by the Riggler Sounds like a batman villain That's what you're gonna do You gotta go Well ladies gentlemen Wee A hundred and ninety pounds
Starting point is 00:45:04 The Riggler The Rampaging Recycler Or What was your own The Mole Man Gobby Gook Now you're starting to sound like
Starting point is 00:45:17 SNL guy the Saturday I'd like band with the wriggler I'm gonna wriggle I'm gonna get him he's gonna try and put me
Starting point is 00:45:28 in a headlop but I'm gonna wriggle it's important to recycle your bottle use the yellow bit I mean I was shocked and appalled when I was living in the United States that they did not do recycling
Starting point is 00:45:47 and that was in the early two thousands. Right. But there was that push, wasn't it, especially in like suburban areas to recycle, but it was turned out to be all bullshit, didn't it? In Australia. Yeah, in Australia and America. Yeah, there's just like big warehouses full of unrecyclable plastic. Yeah, it's just all bullshit. Isn't that funny the idea that they're like, we'll recycle it and they filled up gigantic warehouses and then finally when it's full, someone's like, hang on a second. Yeah. It's like, you've got to be onto this, I reckon straight away. Yeah. Where are you putting these things? What's your end game here? We don't have a plan.
Starting point is 00:46:18 The science will catch up That's probably I think of The science will catch up I've been watching Back to the future too You can make things disappear and stuff
Starting point is 00:46:28 They're all very They're not pizza big They'll be They'll be able to reverse that Surely Surely They use rubbish in the engines Yeah
Starting point is 00:46:36 Let's just burn Oh my God That's right I'm gonna go Rampaging Recyler Just because I think That's my That's what I
Starting point is 00:46:44 That's my instinct That's my vibe I'm gonna go for it Doesn't feel like a house one but I hope it's not. I was going to go Mo Man, but that feels like a house. And that's what I'm going for. I'm going, I'm trying to avoid the house.
Starting point is 00:46:56 But I'm also, I also want to get it right. Yeah, yeah. Well, if you got it right, you'd also avoid the house. Exactly. That's the ultimate avoidion. Avoysion. Yeah, I know. I'm trialing a voysion.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I like a voison. I think it's a fun made up word. Little Betty's doing a bit of a voision. Doing a voicing. Like a voids. Yeah, I'm going to go rampaging Recycler for 1,000, thank you. Locked in.
Starting point is 00:47:23 That's beautiful. Ma, what do you think? I do agree. The moment, that sounds like someone just watched The Simpsons. Isn't that a Simpsons character? The Mo, Mo, guys. Hands moment. Chicken, smiley face.
Starting point is 00:47:36 That's the menu, sir. Well done. What was the first one again? The rewinder. The rewinder. Look, I think that's... Don't be it a sparse monster, the gobbledy goop. as well govety gookka that sounds like ben russell wrote that no no i wouldn't no no that's not me okay
Starting point is 00:47:57 that sounds like someone who wrote that turkey very american turkey is american though and they love that oh is that what it is froth over turkey right is november 22 is that a turkey time of you that's around thanksgiving i don't exactly know the day because i'm a bad american i don't like you influencing me like this. I don't know. I'm only putting it together myself. I don't know, I don't know much of them. So that noise, like that just sounded like nonsense to me, but it is apparently the sound that a turkey. Gobbitty gook is the term for nonsense. I think we've had that on this show. Gobbidigoo. Oh, okay. But it's not the sound that turkey makes. They make the sound gobbledy. Gobble, gobble. No, you know what. Is it almost, it's almost too clever. Yeah, yeah. I don't. I'm not bad
Starting point is 00:48:39 in that. I'm going to go with the, um, the rewinder. The rewinder. It's beautiful. Be count, get rewound. I remember those days. Okay. Here's who wrote the answers. The spice monster. That was marron. Oh.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Why did no one go for that? I think it was good. I think it was... I like the idea of it. Yeah. A little cross promo. The mole man, that was the house. It was Reed in particular.
Starting point is 00:49:04 You know what, Reed? You were too specific. You know? You got cocky, Reed. But good. Reed also wrote the rewinder. Damn. Well, that one got let one through to the keeper there.
Starting point is 00:49:18 The rampaging recycler. Ben went for that. That was Dave. Well done, Dave. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Dave went for the wriggler. That was Ben.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Oh, there you go. And that means the correct answer was the Gobody Guka. A giant anthropomorphic turkey that hatched out of a man-sized egg. Apparently, the viewers hated it. I want to say. It was an embarrassment for the wrestling. You're kidding me. They set it up with a giant egg that was there mysteriously for ages beforehand.
Starting point is 00:49:50 I love that. And then I was so disappointed when a man in a turkey. You can see it on YouTube. I haven't watched it. Apparently it's very funny or, you know, because they're just like, what? And the ring announcers really trying to make it work. Wait, hang on, you're not the gobbledygooker, are you? Like, yeah, very funny.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Oh, that's, maybe that's where Pucka docks data from that. Yeah, that's true. That could have been. Or maybe they got it from Plucker. Oh. I think that's post-plucker. That could be a lawsuit on me. We live in a post-plucker society.
Starting point is 00:50:22 So, Dave, Ben and the house got a point there. Penultimate question comes from Greg Hartman from Walcott in Colorado, as well as two people sent this in, both from Colorado. That's a Colorado question, makes sense. Also from Carl Habegger from Colorado. And the question is, what is the name of the annual festival first held in the town of Nettelan Colorado in 2002. What is the name of the annual festival
Starting point is 00:50:48 held in the town of Nettelan, Colorado in 2002? So you got to, what's the name of the festival and what's it about? Why do they hold this festival? And while you're doing that, I'll tell the listeners a bit more about the gobbledygooka. Reid writes, in the month before the WWF's annual Survivor Series event, a giant man-sized egg started appearing near the ring on WWF television shows. W.W.E. announcer Mean Gene Oakaland then filmed a series of investigative reports where he completely straight-faced treated this as a real mystery that speculated what might be inside the egg. At the event, they made a giant deal out of highlighting that the egg was about to hatch, and when it did, outclimed a man in the worst turkey costume I can ever recall seeing.
Starting point is 00:51:34 The crowd immediately began booing after weeks of hype, and then Mean Gene attempted to interview the giant turkey who only received. responded in turkey gobbles, leading mean Gene to proclaim, Don't tell me you're the gobbledy gooker, as if this meant something to anyone. The two of them then proceeded to square dance in the middle of the ring. I have a clear memory of watching this live as an eight-year-old and being completely and utterly baffled. It may have been the first time I started to suspect the professional wrestling might not be completely on the level. All right, the answer. Let's do this.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Let's fucking do it. Answering for questions. Number five. All right. What is the name? The annual festival first held in the town of Netherlands, Colorado in 2002. Ned Flanders Festival. An annual festival with night markets and music featuring best Ned Flanders lookalike and left-handed inventions and accessories.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Option one. Option two. Frozen dead guy days. Celebrating the cryogenically frozen body of an old Norwegian man. Option three. Hodge Tijian, which is high times apparently. a marijuana-themed festival held at high altitude
Starting point is 00:52:45 You got Yodled Yack Festival featuring all things yodeling and all things yak related Got The Great Gouda Festival A festival celebrating European cheese Or finally
Starting point is 00:52:59 Colorado don't An annual festival where people do outrageous stunts a la jackass that you shouldn't do at home So you got Ned Flanders Festival Frozen Dead Guide Days
Starting point is 00:53:10 High Times or Hodge Tijin Yodel Yacht Festival The Great Gouda Festival or Colorado Ben Russell What do you think Great answer Great ones I believe them
Starting point is 00:53:23 Hodge Tijin Colorado I mean It's a state known for Smoking weed Right What is what language is Hodge Tijan My
Starting point is 00:53:33 Sounds a bit Dutch Right Is it Dutch? Got a bit of Dutch about him Do you know the answer? I have fucking no idea Oh I reckon it's It's very possible gibberish.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Unless it's... No, no, no. Unless it's Scandinavian. Well, you're from Europe. You should know all the European languages. It's not fair. Hodge Tijan, don't mind that one. Frozen Dead Guy Day.

Starting point is 00:54:35 thinking that as well because it does sound like a real language to me yeah whoever made that up would be pretty clever to just make that up if someone made that up. That made no sense. No, that doesn't sound like you. Pedaling. Colorado? Colarado?
Starting point is 00:54:51 I can't even say that. Wait, so you like it, but you're not going with it? Is it because it's yours? I want to go with it, but I feel like that's, I'm thinking about the strategy while also trying to talk at the same time, and it's not going well. I also forgot.
Starting point is 00:55:07 This is my second language. You know, what's the worst that could happen? I'm going to go with the same. Go on the same? Yeah. All right, Maron's going for Hodgettigin. I'm just going to go the Ned Flanders one. All right.

Starting point is 00:56:38 No, well, Ned Flandg. festival, Dave went for that. That was Ben. That's why you knew that yes, it was frozen dead guy days. That's unbelievable. Isn't that wild? They froze a guy in what, 19, what was it? Well, it was in the 90s and then it got discovered in a shed or something and then they
Starting point is 00:56:56 started celebrating it. Where's you now? That's a great question. I've got a little bit to read out while you're writing your last answer and maybe I'll find out and I'll be able to tell you. I can't wait. So the final question comes from Jim Bates from second. Harbor in New York, this last one, Dave, is a movie synopsis.
Starting point is 00:57:15 So it'll be your longest one, like a paragraph. And if you, you know, if you've seen the movie, just play it like you don't, haven't and, you know, write a fake movie answer. All right. Final question is, what is the synopsis of the 2004 movie a dirty shame? What is the synopsis of the 2004 movie a dirty shame while your answer is being written? Here is some more info about frozen dead guide days. Cotna Gregg, in 1989 a Norwegian citizen named Trigvi beige brought the corpse of his recently
Starting point is 00:57:49 deceased grandfather, Brito Morstal, to the United States. The body was preserved on dry ice for the trip and stored in liquid nitrogen at a cryogenic facility in California for several years. However, in 1993, Brito was returned to dry ass and transported to the town of Netherlands, Colorado, where Trigvee and his mother, Ord, planned to create a cryogenics facility of their own. Trigvie was deported from the United States for overstaying his visa, so his mother, Ord, continued keeping her father's body cryogenically frozen in a shack behind her unfinished house. Ord was eventually evicted from her home for living in a house with no electricity or plumbing
Starting point is 00:58:28 in violation of local ordinances. In 1995, Ord Morsstool was found guilty of building use and zoning violations. so the town judge ordered her to remove the frozen body of her father from Netherlands by March 6th or faced 10 days in jail and a $600 fine. In response, the city added a broad new provision to Section 734 of its municipal code, keeping of bodies, outlawing the keeping of a whole or any part of the person body or carcass of a human being or animal or other biological species which is not alive upon any property. However, because of the publicity that had arisen around the news story,
Starting point is 00:59:07 they made an exception for Bredo, a grandfather clause. A bit of fun. Later that year, the local tough shed supplier and a Denver radio station built a new shed in which to store the body of Bredo.
Starting point is 00:59:20 There's photos of this. In honor of the town's unique resident, Netherlands holds the annual celebration first start in 2002. Frozen Dead Guide Days is typically celebrated on the second weekend of March. Coffin races, a hearse parade, and frozen dead guy look-a-like contests are held.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Other events include a tour of the tough shed where grandpa is still frozen, a polar plunge for those brave enough to go swimming in Colorado in early March, which generally requires breaking through the ice, and a dance called Grandpa's Blue Ball and much more. Man, that sounds fantastic. Thanks Greg for bringing this to our attention.
Starting point is 01:00:01 All right, the answer in for the final question. It all comes down to this. Triple points up for grabs. The house is way out front, but it's still truly anyone's game if things go away this round. Question is, what is the synopsis of the 2004 movie A Dirty Shame? Brothers Sam and Mitch need $100,000 to pay for their dad's heart surgery. When they're fired for getting revenge on their abusive carnival owner boss, they have a great money-making idea, a revenge for hire business.
Starting point is 01:00:29 The brothers are soon successful, but not all of their clients are good customers, and things get messy quickly. Option one. It's a shame, isn't it? Being a single woman in your 30s without a spouse or children. Marvelous Megan decides she is enough of the dating world and takes matters into her own hands. After many failed attempts of finding a suitable partner,
Starting point is 01:00:50 she meets Lonely Sam, a scientist who has just moved into town. After finding out he is working in a newly established IVF clinic freezing embryos, she makes a plan to earn his trust and steal some sperm, the clean way. That's option two. Option three. A disgraced private PI named Deacon Shame helps uncover a drug dealing racket in Chicago that implicates high-powered politicians and could even involve the president. Wow.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Goes all right to the top. Option number four. After mild-mannered Sylvia Stickles is hit on the head, she transforms from an uptight prude to a sex-crazed lunatic. She soon attracts the attention of Ray Ray, a sexual healer and tow truck driver. in search of the world's greatest orgasm. Their sexual revolution ultimately leads to a class war in their tiny Baltimore community. Option 5.
Starting point is 01:01:47 After police officer Andrew Shame is fired from the police department. He decides to try his luck as a PI. He thinks he's left his old life behind him, but everything changes when he discovers corruption in the department and a break in his final case. With the help of his motor-mouthed secretary, Trixie, Andrew leaps back into the action to solve the case and clear his name. Or finally, Ben is a chronic masturbator who has a crush on his cousin.
Starting point is 01:02:18 To make matters worse, he's stuck at a family reunion in the city of love with a horde of horny co-eds. A new lewd screwball comedy from the producers of American Pie presents band camp. I mean, I hope that last one's true. I think I've seen it Yeah 2004 What are you for cinema It really was
Starting point is 01:02:40 These all feel very 2004 All right So Maron They're all so silly I don't mind Which one I'm gonna What's rare that it's a good movie We feature on this part of the show
Starting point is 01:02:52 Sometimes Which one of these would be a real movie Yeah So you've got Brothers Sam and Mitch Revenge for High Business You've got Marvelous Megan
Starting point is 01:03:01 Who steals sperm the clean way got the clean way Deakin shame in Chicago in a scheme that goes
Starting point is 01:03:13 all the way to the top Sylvia Stickles goes from uptight to sex crazed and searches for the world's greatest orgasm that's sick
Starting point is 01:03:22 you've got you've got an PI Andrew Shame who's fired and ends up with his motor mouth, Trixie,
Starting point is 01:03:35 secretary Trixie, trying to solve the case, clear his name, and then the chronic masturbator as a crushing his cousin. What's the enemy standing out to you, Maro? I'm going to crush him a cousin. Spend the next two hours with me while I try and figure that one out.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Saying the name, their character's name is Ben is a bit on the nose. I don't say Ben. Who wrote that? What's a motor mouth that tickles That's a fast talker. Oh, okay. I see.
Starting point is 01:04:05 That's why I know nothing about that because I talk so slow. You know what? That's Andrew Shaman the motor mouth, isn't it? Motor Mouth Megan? No, that's the other one. Motor Mouth. Mourth. Mourth, Morrowth, Trixie.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Well, that's a missed opportunity. Motor Mouth, Megan, would have been met her. What was the one with the cops? Is that Trixie? Deakin Shame. See, I think Andrew Shame is a bit too on the nose. Someone forgot other names It's a high-powered politician racket
Starting point is 01:04:37 That goes all the way to the president, maybe Maybe Look, description was a little bit lazy It felt like someone gave up quickly In the president, maybe No, that's all you You've got to watch the movie to find out You want to hear the ending in the synopsis
Starting point is 01:04:53 Yeah, I want to know as much as possible No, I reckon is the president maybe That sounds plausible Locked in for Maron, what do you think, Dave? Uh, I mean, the chronic masturbator does sound like a great story. Don't get me wrong. Which in 04, that's all the people were talking about. Yeah, they did.
Starting point is 01:05:14 I'm jerking up. They got away with different stuff like then. American Pie, which is a big movie for me back then. And you're watching it again. And you're like, and it's a pretty. Someone should go to jail for this. There should be quite a few people. Yeah, cops should be involved.
Starting point is 01:05:28 The end of it should be sirens and lights like. Yeah, it should be people getting to carry away. bands. Yeah, like a lot of them. It's, it does not, it's got some pretty dated views. Hmm. Oh, I can. Stifler's mom.
Starting point is 01:05:42 And by dated I mean, it's illegal. Yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. I'm actually going to, I feel like, I feel like I've somehow watched this in the early 90s, or the early 2000s, I should say. I feel like I did. And I feel like the Andrew Deakin one with his motor mouth, sidekick. Uh, you're going to, we should.
Starting point is 01:06:02 You've merged two together. There's Deakin Shame and Andrew Shame. Yeah, Andrew Shame. Andrew Shane. He was the one with a motor mouth sidekick, I think. Yeah, motor mouth psych kick. Yeah, I'm going to go, just because I remember an episode that I was on this episode, this podcast, and we were doing this and it was like, it can't be the one with the sperm bank.
Starting point is 01:06:26 And then it was the one with the sperm bank. So I feel I'm going to go with sperm bank to try and. see if that's a that's a and it was around the same time period so i feel like there were a lot of movies are about sperm bang i think when people found out sperm banks for a thing yeah i remember yeah i remember that being in there was a movie called tom cats which all i can remember about it was like there was sperm donation scenes in it yeah and and i and it became i reckon multiple movies had nurses like massaging a gland in guys assholes yeah yeah yeah like a serious film yeah yeah serious well yeah i'd say movie i meant film a home film
Starting point is 01:07:09 i do feel like sperm bank was a real even just punch lines back then yeah it was like i held a bank up it just happened to be a sperm book yeah it was a simpler time it was a simpler time yeah so everyone's locked in yeah all right here's who wrote the answers and can i just say that i'm i'll bring it up after but there's a big problem on this part mark is a chronic masturbator yeah did i say ben is You said Ben And this is awesome He said Ben is a cratic masturbator
Starting point is 01:07:41 And I said Mark in that And I feel like you really Did I say Ben every time? No, you said Mark the second time That's why I was like Oh yeah, you said Ben, huh? Yeah, good on you. Oh no
Starting point is 01:07:54 No, no No, you're great crowd, never forget that That's very Freudian, isn't it? Yeah. Is that great? I just feel like I've been, that's twice now that this podcast has cheated me out of them. You're 100% right. I'm going to, I'll give you, I'm going to give you three pity points there.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Yes. Fucking, fucking. Because I screwed you. I screwed you. And just like the one with David Corriars, you know, he said a real Pokemon. Oh, yeah, you weren't happy about that at all. Yeah. I budget it.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Reese was on a few weeks ago and I. I say, who's running this show? Absolutely. Yeah, stitch them up on one as well All right them stitch them up on one as well Um I mean it's starting to think that this isn't a legit
Starting point is 01:08:37 competition I'm starting to think there's nothing to really win or gain from winning No And there's no prize And no one really cares about the points And the points are just sort of a No no no there are there's cash shop for grabs
Starting point is 01:08:48 Sorry You were looking pretty Yeah I booked in a tattoo after this I'd win Uh the one about the brothers Sam and Mitch Starting a revenge for high business
Starting point is 01:08:58 That was Jim the question writer Okay Jim also wrote the one about Andrew Shame, I'm afraid, Dave, the one you went for there. Damn it. Which is interesting, though, because Marum went for the one about Deakin's shame, which was you, Dave. So you were thinking, because you wrote one in a similar vein, you're like, I... I felt like it was a movie that I saw when I was in the 2000s. They would have, like, been out and then we'd watched it the next day, hung over.
Starting point is 01:09:28 And I felt like Deacon was a very American name, too. So, yeah, absolutely. Believable. Ben, you went for the sperm bank. That was Maron. Yeah, nice one. Good move. I don't regret that.
Starting point is 01:09:40 I mean, that chronic masturbator, Ben. That really, that bedded it in some realism. Yeah. I felt. I'm more terminal than chronic. The doctor, God damn it, man, if you don't stop. One more masturbation. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:00 And you will die. Your deathbed. You're on your deathbed. Oh, my deathbed. You've lost your wife. Your family doesn't talk to you anymore. I used to be a big shot. That means no one got the correct answer, which was after mild-mannered Sylvia Stigles gets hit on the head, she becomes sex craze lunatic.
Starting point is 01:10:25 That's true in line. It was funny that it came up because it's got, uh, with the. main guy from jackass is in it yeah of course it does oh it is old mate yeah Johnny Knox Johnny Knoxville that's right damn um but it geez everyone scored in that round even Ben just like in the movie dirty shame what a glorious premise to think someone pitched that yeah to someone saying she gets knocked on the head and then she is just bang up for it okay so she's a real prude like a real feminist you know real pitch and then she gets it on the head and she turns in a massive slide.
Starting point is 01:11:02 It's funny the voice, you know, because the guy who actually directed it was John Waters, slightly different sort of vibe. Oh, really? Yeah. That's funny. Well, it's pretty fun then. I like John Waters.
Starting point is 01:11:14 But the cast is wild as well. But, yeah, it wasn't well loved. 55% critics' approval on Rotten Tomatoes, 51% audience. I mean, that's a win, in it? Yeah. 50%. I feel like if John Waters, I'd like to see that now. He's John Waters.
Starting point is 01:11:33 He's a self-professed pervert. He did, like, Crybaby. He's got that pencil mustache. Like, he was in The Simpsons as like a, like a, what do you, what's the word? It's like, corny stuff. Like, yeah, yeah, he likes like, kish, yeah, Kitch. He was in the episode where the first gay person Homer ever met. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Oh, yes. Yeah, where he goes to the steel mill. Selma blaze in it as well. That's such a good episode. Tracy Ormond's in it. She's the one who gets hit on the head, Tracy Ormond. Oh, right. And Chris Isaac's in it, interestingly.
Starting point is 01:12:06 He plays her husband, I think. Oh. I can see the cover of this. Dirty shame. I don't know. It's not what I would have pictured, but it's... Can I see it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:20 Oh, good Lord. Yeah. Selma Blair's packing some basketballs. What is it? going on? So, yeah, this is a Rot Rotten Tomato's critic consensus. John Waters casts his provocative eye towards libido and a sex satire that won't leave audiences feeling too dirty, but this sophomoreic farce doesn't strike a nerve like his
Starting point is 01:12:43 best work. A real shame. All right. Final scores with triple points going around everywhere late. The final scores are Dave on four points, Maron on five points, band on six points, but out in front on 10 points, it's the house. Fuck. Damn house.
Starting point is 01:13:00 Cheater. Dimminess. Cheating. This is a dirty shame. That's what this is. Cheating. This doesn't look good for you, dude. This does not look good for you.
Starting point is 01:13:10 I don't feel good about it. You're the heel now. Yeah, yeah. This is like Tatsalotto. You know what I mean? Like you guys always win. The house wins. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:20 Like we're at a casino. You know what are we doing? Yeah. I mean, the lights in here make it feel like it does feel. Very casino-y. Every time you say the house, I imagine like a hole in the table and all, like, everything just goes down. I'm the mole man. I'm the real mole man.

Starting point is 01:17:10 Stole it. I don't really talking about it. He stole it. This is a unique idea. He just put a couple of bells and whistles on it to make it seem different enough that he's not going to get seen. How do I know that that answer is? Correct. And can I just say, that's, that's the, that's what we're all looking for.
Starting point is 01:17:26 Something that's familiar, but just your special. I think it's beautiful and genius and I love this, but. Boulder Das wasn't, they weren't even the first ones to do that. No, I know. It's not, it's fine. I'm not, you don't need to be so defensive. The English stole it from the colonies when I went around the world. It was, yeah, yeah, it belongs to the people.
Starting point is 01:17:46 Yeah, yeah. It's the people's format and this is the people's podcast. Beautiful. That is, that actually almost made me tear up. Yeah, good. That was beautiful. You can use that in all the, on all your posters for your podcast. Make four people by people.
Starting point is 01:18:02 Yeah. Jeez, this is good. It's made by people. Actually, in a world of AI, that is an angel. Soon that's going to be a selling point. This is made by a person. I was talking to someone about this last week. You'll have the organic, like, this was, this was like a human thought.
Starting point is 01:18:20 What? You know how, like, close they go like this is organic and it's made trade free and everyone goes that's great because of AI they'll be soon like this was an organic thought yeah this idea and everyone will be like oh so it's an organic thought like it's not manufactured I only I only read organic creepy literature yeah yeah totally what the hell yeah set of AI this also now you're so far away and we're all like here on the corner like that's this feels I think most like most of the daily mail stuff nowadays is all AI is it is it I'm pretty sure it
Starting point is 01:18:51 because I feel like it just like grabs whatever these days. I hate to be a journalist. I always thought that comedians were the lowest of the low. Yeah, because you always have magicians one step above. Yeah, well, I've always gone, at least I'm not a musician. You know, at least I'm not in the music industry because that industry has been just fucked. Yeah. That's terrible.
Starting point is 01:19:18 And then I go, well, and magicians must go, well, at least. At least I'm not a journalist. Yeah. Now, fair warning, Dave. I am the greatest player of this game. You said to start with greatest. What? You could have just said, I'm the greatest.
Starting point is 01:19:39 And I've been like, yep. I'm the greatest. Full stop. Yeah. But you're also, you're the villain of this show. No, I've, I've re-branded. Oh, no, that was the old you? Yeah, yeah, rebranded.
Starting point is 01:19:49 I don't know what that means. I was the heel, but now I'm just... Oh, you're doing a face turn? Yeah, I'm doing a redemption arc. Whoa. Yeah. It's a reverse John Sina. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:20:00 It's a, it's a rock, because rock went from bad guy. He went from heel to... Oh, good guy. Heal to toe. Dasty dough. All this is water type. Yeah. Okay, can I technically ask a question that you may not know?
Starting point is 01:20:20 Technically, but not, but you can't. You're not allowed to. Because they're birds. So they have nipples? Bears don't have nipples. Let's check with Matt. Matt, do birds have nipples? I already know the answer.
Starting point is 01:20:34 And I think you do too. Me? Yeah, I think deep down, you know the answer. I thought you said, you do have nipples. I was like, oh, he's got the inside track. While birds... I've got nipples, Greg. This is according to birds spot.co.
Starting point is 01:20:47 Dot UK, while birds don't have nipples or mammary glands, some species produce a milk-like substance called crop milk to nourish their chicks. Yeah, but that was dot UK. How do I trust that foreign stuff? The clue is in the name mammary glands, I reckon. Because mammal. Mammal. Yes, definitely had connected that in the past. So you'd be one of the only men in cinema who have sucked on an amuse breast.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Well, I'm one of the few people in just history. Yeah, well, I mean, no, Nathan for you did a big breath suck in the rehearsal. Not Nathan for you, Nathan Fielder, rehearsal season two, he was suckling. And I was watching that and I was going, we've done the same thing. You're not so different. We're not so different. This is awesome. What are we doing?
Starting point is 01:21:40 I don't know. This is it, dude. Just unplugged for an hour, disconnect, dude. So the way the show... I'm looking for a clean bit so we can... Probably a lot of this might get trimmed out, but... This is going to be a two-hour... But not deleted, Dave.
Starting point is 01:21:58 There's a section at the end of the show where some of the weirder bits, often that feature Ben's ramblings, get trimmed out and put at the end. And people love that section of the show. No one has said anything weird. It's been... Yeah. Yeah, it might happen. Yeah, I can understand that.
Starting point is 01:22:16 Yeah, just like nipples on the show. words. Gookamine. Yeah. Okay. All you have to do is be like, hey, this impression, I'll do it because I'm a little parrot. I like it. Just a mimic.
Starting point is 01:22:29 I like it when he does funny little voices. Yeah. Yeah, you do funny little voices too. That's what people don't know about you is that Dave Thornton's a funny voice guy. Yeah. Does a famous debut. It's probably the most famous Dave Hughes. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:22:41 Hang in a second. Ben Russell's right here. Yeah. Do you reckon you do a more famous Dave Hughes? Famous. I think the most. famous Dave Hughes is probably Dave Hughes. Ooh, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:22:51 I guess Thorna is probably overtaken. I think Thorno is number two. Yeah. And then I'm number three. If I'm being honest with you, which I am. He does a good Hughesy with a mouth full of bird milk. And it is exceptional. And you'll have to watch him you wars for that.
Starting point is 01:23:09 Oh, geez, I'm getting motorboated. I'm not. I'm not going to. That's why you're number three. Yep. It's good to know we're Instagram friends. I'm sending you this, Matt. We are Instagram friends.
Starting point is 01:23:27 Go on Instagram. Interesting. What are you doing, Ben? I'm over the good old-fashioned Facebook Messenger like a boomer. Yeah. Messenger. Yeah. I like to pretend like I'm trying to scam, Matt.
Starting point is 01:23:44 Aren't you the same? Yeah, yeah. Messenger? Yeah. This is strange. It is strange, isn't it? I'm the oldest person here, and I've gone. Instagram wouldn't make more sense.
Starting point is 01:23:52 I'm going to do TikTok now after this. Yeah, sick, that's cool. I watch all my TikToks on Instagram. I'm going to snapchat on my TikToks. I'm an elder millennial. I tell you what, as much as me, I know this because talking about your generation, I've been there for both iterations of this.
Starting point is 01:24:12 Yeah, what are you? Of that panel show. And I remember the first time I ever walked in when it was first. in like, God, late 2000s, I think. And I literally went, hey, I'm just in between. I'm like, 1980s the cutoff and I was born December, middle of December 79. So I'm like, I'm not Y or X. I don't think they went, cool, you can never come on here at all.
Starting point is 01:24:33 So what team, what team do you end up on? I was Y initially. But I reckon now, if I went back on, they put me on X. Right. I've just got an X vibe. Yeah. I don't have a millennial vibe. You guys millennials?
Starting point is 01:24:44 I'm, I'm, yeah, I'm 84. Yeah, I'm 83, so I'm like a, I believe most, usually it's like, yeah, 80 or 81, 82, you see. So I'm sort of like, yeah, elder millennial. I like to claim it anyway. Murren's, why? Yeah, I'm so young. Why? No, I'm a millennial as well.
Starting point is 01:25:06 Millennial. But I feel like I could parse is why. Yeah, I reckon you could go. Wait, why, there's no why. Why is millennial? Oh, is it? What's the next one? Uh, Z.
Starting point is 01:25:15 Z? Oh, who fucking cares. And then Gen Alpha. I just only found out last week. Jet Alpha is like the teenagers now. Yeah. I guess you have. But Z is also an consumer.
Starting point is 01:25:25 I've always wondered, is there like an official naming ceremony of the generations? Yeah. Like who is, who's making these decisions? Okay. Because I don't, I don't abide by them, do you? No, I think we need to have a ceremony. We need to have a voting system.
Starting point is 01:25:40 What we call the gens? Because I think normally it starts, like, why is what it was called? Because it followed from X. And then over time, millennial sort of came in a popularity. I think the same album was Z, right? They'll think of a better name for it. Yeah, the X made a rod for our back. It was a bit. They went, oh, the one after that and you're like, why why alpha, I guess, is going back to A. Yeah. That's rookie. I should have thought that through. I think alphas were like, Gen Alpha would have been like the first kind
Starting point is 01:26:08 of like, homo erectus to start using tools. And they'd be like, oh. And then the other guy, The other guys would be like, Gen Alpha's, get a job. We're just going to hang around and wait for the Joe Rogan podcast. Didn't you? Didn't you two used to work on a footy show together, didn't you? Did we? Didn't you?
Starting point is 01:26:31 Ben Russell came through sometimes to do a bit of warm up on the, I've even forgotten what it was called, the beat test. Oh, the beep test, yes. You did the bounce, and then you came to do the beep test. Yes, I was terrible as an audience warm up, man. So I would like to say it. Sorry for that. They would have been ice cold by the time they got to you.
Starting point is 01:26:51 You're like, hey, uh, fuck it. I can't do it. I suck at this. You know that feeling you're doing something? You're like, man, I actually suck. I fucking suck. Hey, guys, I just motivated an email. Who is this, what's going on?
Starting point is 01:27:07 What's going on? What is this little dude? Where's the other band? I want to talk about footy. Where's the other band that won't shut the fuck up? We need to get that one in. and not the quiet one that doesn't give a shit. Do you think you got Lomass's work based on just the first name?
Starting point is 01:27:22 Ben's are going to warm up. Ben's are not going to warm up. I proved that. Yeah. It's hard. It's a tough gig. I was just checking the time. I'm like, this is going to be a long one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:39 I couldn't find you on Facebook. So I don't know what's going on. We're friends. I don't know what's happening. So I'm going to have to go back to Instagram. Maybe he's blocked you. You dog. That's so not Skokam.
Starting point is 01:27:50 That is, it's not true. It's big, you're the one with the weird Facebook name. Don't put that on me. Oh, yeah, no, that's my personal one. I was just trying to get through though. Oh, yeah, man, I'm really.
Starting point is 01:28:01 Hang a second. Let's go back to square one. What was supposed to do again? Come up. Now, you do below a Facebook with that kind of. Got lost for, for five minutes, and then you're back going, what are we doing again?
Starting point is 01:28:16 Yeah, I was on Facebook Marketplace. Jeez, that's a good deal. You've just, a name of a be. Is this still available? Free coat hangers. Is he kidding me? Is this still available?
Starting point is 01:28:27 Will you deliver this? Yeah. How much? Yeah, is it zero dollars? Anything cheaper? What? I watched Rush last night and there's the guy,
Starting point is 01:28:41 the main guy's Austrian. The movie and the band. the movie. Okay. The one, and it's about Nikki Ladner. No, Nikki. Yes. Nicky Lauder?
Starting point is 01:28:51 Nicky Lauder? Louder. Nicky Lauder. But yeah, his, he's, you'd enjoy his, uh, the actor's accent in that, I think. But I mean, the actor is a German-speaking guy, so it's probably just his real accent. Okay. But he, you know, he's sort of chalked a bit like dish. What do you think about?
Starting point is 01:29:12 What do you think about that, no? The standard German accent. That's how you say. Yeah, yeah. I like to, I drive fast. It's important to just go home after your race and, you know, sleep and get some rest. And they come back and drive again. Beautiful.
Starting point is 01:29:31 I feel like someone should stop this, but I don't know how. Is that? What do they say? Because they called him like the weasel or something. The rat, yeah. He had a real overbite. So it was just like, yeah, I would go. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:29:40 Yeah, yeah, it was a rat. You sound like that. Ideology is a priest. Yeah, that one. What's his face? No, I don't know. Don't care enough to know his name. Keep it in.
Starting point is 01:29:54 Don't edit this out. All right. He's good gear. Nick Louder. You said alright because you're the host now, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's taking me over.
Starting point is 01:30:04 King rat, super rat, and the rat. Good nicknames. What the fuck are you talking about? Mickey Louder! Okay. Yeah, because it was that whole thing of he's juxtaposed to that English driver who was like a real ladies man, very charismatic guy. And he just had a very, like he shut from the hip, you know, like he was just like,
Starting point is 01:30:25 I don't really need to train that much. I just drive really fast and this is what I do. And Nicolado was fulfilling all kind of Austrian, Germanic cliches of going, now, we've got to sit and we've got to get some rest and you don't take risks. You make sure this is the smartest thing you possibly do. And then there was the English driver who's like, no, whatever, I'm just drinking some champagne and just going to hit the chican. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:45 He was crazy. Played by Chris Hemsworth. Yeah. What a dream boat. Oh, yeah. He's skokum. Skookum. Skikim.
Starting point is 01:30:53 Skikim. He skukkum. I was driving somewhere. I think I might have been like around Mobile. And there was just this town called bin moving. Oh my God. That's really good. Been moving.
Starting point is 01:31:09 Been moving. Yeah. That's what I think it was around Mobile. Maybe it was. So the mobile, it was some, it was some, it was in the middle of fucking nowhere, as you'd imagine, a place called Bitmoving. Bin moving, in Alabama. I think so, maybe, maybe it's Alabama. I'll remember it in a bit.
Starting point is 01:31:25 Oh, yeah, I can't think of where it is. Yeah, look it up. I hope it's still around. It was a while ago that Been Moving was. I blew it for myself because I told the real story. Yeah, yeah. So you're like, oh, that's, he's just doing what he heard. Ripping off the, the real.
Starting point is 01:31:40 What was the real one again? Been moving. Been moving. Been moving. I've been moving. I've just been living and been moving. We got it. He's in Alabama.
Starting point is 01:31:57 We got him. He's in Alabama. Brigham, Bill. Great down. I've been a try and the Trump. I just assumed I could do a Trump, even though I can't really do any of. impression. And I've been doing it a lot and it's, I cannot do it. I just assumed you could,
Starting point is 01:32:19 I assumed you could do it, but it's really actually quite difficult. That's not bad. That's the best I've done it, to be honest. That's good. I appreciate it. I think I'm just learn off you two. Quick master class. Yeah. Who'd been in a fight, Beatle or some cricket? Oh. It depends. I mean, the heaviest animal would be a cricket and that's the weather. The the heaviest insect. The weather. The wetter. That's a cricket.
Starting point is 01:32:45 Yep. You did come with a few facts here today, didn't you? It's part of a phenomena that happens when you have like isolated species on a fucking island. And they get bigger. No predators. Yeah, they get fucking huge. And that's where, that's how we got the weather. Right.
Starting point is 01:33:04 Nearly stepped on a wetter when I was a kid because we used to grow up in, I lived in Wellington. You lived in Wellington? Yeah. Where haven't you lived? You're a Texan, grew up in Perth and Wellington, the Windy City. Yeah. The Windy City of the South. That's true.
Starting point is 01:33:18 You're your parents on witness relocation program? I think so. I think Dad saw something. Wait, and you lived in Chicago, another Windy City. That's true. I've lived in... You lived in all the Windiest cities? I've lived in the Windier City in the Southern Hemisphere and the Windier City in the Northern Hemisphere.
Starting point is 01:33:31 Is Wellington the Windiest? I don't know. Geraldton is like the third Windiest. That's how it promotes itself in West Australia. It's really weird. They won't even have the confidence to say where the windiest. They get bronze medal in Windiest. I wonder what the Windiest is.
Starting point is 01:33:44 Don't overshade it, mate. What a great break that was. And it's important that whatever the sponsor was today, we love them and use them every day. And as far as that is concerned, they are very good. Yeah. Unless you're listening to this in an election year, in which case whoever was sponsoring this is a liar and probably. a pedophile. That just all get cut.
Starting point is 01:34:15 It's fine. What was that last thing you said was? Allegedly. Allegedly, whoever is. No, definitely not skokum. Skookum. Hey, skirkin. It's cool that you guys are skirkin.
Starting point is 01:34:29 Wow, you guys are a skirken keel. I'm going to choose to believe that answer. Yeah, skircum. Oh, I took my huskies in today on the sled and I realized that what a skirking did. Yes, they were Saskakey. They were real crazy catch. Who knows the most about wrestling? Oh, great question.
Starting point is 01:34:56 Who knows the most? I did not grow up watching wrestling. No, I kind of missed that boat too. But I like it. I like watching it. It's entertaining. Yeah. That Netflix documentary about, what was his name of the guy who ran it all?
Starting point is 01:35:09 McMahon. Oh, incredible. So good. So good. Such amazing. That's good. I know a couple of wrestlers. I met Colt Cabana in Edinburgh and he is a lovely guy and we used to, he's a nice man.
Starting point is 01:35:24 See, that's a good wrestling name. Yeah, this is great. If only you said that earlier. And the problem, I say that to like wrestling fans are like, no way. And I was like, oh, he was just a nice man. Of course. Yeah. Like, isn't that the whole thing?
Starting point is 01:35:38 Like, you can only go through the biz, but I mean, good behind the doors. really like wrestling because it is like an athletic form of improv people say it's fake but it's actually not but it's like they they've got a shared language and it's like yeah we're gonna fucking hurt you but when i do this you're it's like the same as improv and sketch and it's like they are making it up they might have we a point that they want to get to like a set piece but it's like i don't know it's i find it very impressive and i don't think i think people that say that's fake are fucking stupid It's just fun.
Starting point is 01:36:12 It's like, so, it's like opera for the masses. I just, it's theater and I love it. It is fun. I find it anyone talking about any sort of sports has been pointless. Like, everything's pointless. Yeah. Like, it's all just to keep our entertain for a bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:27 Why is that more pointless than the opera or the, yeah, or a movie or anything? To me, it's like the perfect mesh of sport and. Because they're writing, they're able to write the storyline, sport you're relying on. And it's hard for me. as a saint supporter you're relying on you know the happy ending
Starting point is 01:36:44 at some point yeah Dave goes to the cats and he gets happy endings every other day and his team often wins as well
Starting point is 01:36:51 a yo yeah your bloody long bearded horny whatever the was yeah
Starting point is 01:36:57 it's ready the blow oh there it is what is it oh it's so silent the crowd is not into this whatsoever.
Starting point is 01:37:13 That hurts to watch. There's no twist on it. Oh, it's a giant egg. What's it? Oh, it's a giant bird. Do you should keep that mask on if you're that wrestler? Yeah. You don't want to be tarred with that brush.
Starting point is 01:37:27 Fuck, that sucks. It's so rough. That's rough. What do they think? Like, you brought up the suspense. Everyone's going to think this could be anything. The answer is cocaine. Locking in cocaine.
Starting point is 01:37:40 Lock it in. Turkey is a big thing in America, isn't it? Is it big anywhere else? Eating turkey? No, I think, isn't it? It's a native American bird, isn't it? So when... A native bird.
Starting point is 01:37:53 When Europeans got over there, they brought them back and they thought it was very mysterious. I think they didn't really know where it was wrong. Except we had bush turkeys all along. We had the bush turkeys here all along. Bit a bloody wild turkey. A bit a bloody bird. A bird of wild turkey.
Starting point is 01:38:09 All right. Right. Oh, I love wild turkey. I've gone kind of crazy recently. I was in some kind of space. Just saw a giant turkey break out of an egg. A wrestling company. Is the final NBA final one now? No. Yeah. It is? Don't tell me because I'm going up lost the second half. All right. Yeah, good call. I won't.
Starting point is 01:38:40 look it up either who you're hoping for uh good question i'm not really into this one to be honest these finals i'm like i don't really i feel like i'm just like uh from reggie miller nostalgia i'm going for the paces hey and there's no nostalgia for the oklahoma city thunder so i think that's probably all it is yeah if it was the sonics be a different story yeah imagine i spoiled it for you david you'd you be furious Yep. Please don't. I have no recourse.
Starting point is 01:39:19 It's all I've got. As Ben just pointed out, I haven't had sex with my wife. I'm in a long-term relationship, too. It's okay. It's wild intel for Ben to have. I don't know how close you get when the warm-up guy is on your show, but they find out things. Yeah. Sounds like you need a warm-up guy in the bedroom.
Starting point is 01:39:47 Yeah? No, okay. No, that was a joke. It was a joke. Are you indecent proposing me? Decently proposing me? Babe, you can do funny voices. Like, it'll be a really good time.
Starting point is 01:40:00 You could, it could be anyone. Close your eyes. A downgrade in every way. I don't know.
