Welcome to Who New with Matt Stewart?
The show where the guest's right, the wrong answers.
I'm the titular Matt Stewart.
Now, first guest is from Irvie.
It went to an all-girls school.
It's Irving Mahjumda.
Yay.
People don't cut off the answer.
Our second guest this week is from the Gamy Gamy Game Show.
it's Beck Petratus.
And our third guest this week hosts the Oblivious Maximus podcast in this very studio.
It's Ben Searle.
Hey, how you doing?
Thanks.
I'm so sorry.
I feel bad for clapping.
So good.
Beck and Irby returning guest, Ben Searle, was booked in to do it one time.
Slept in.
But he slipped through it.
Yeah.
Not the first time you've slept in for something at Stupid Old Studios.
Yeah.
No, look.
Time management is sort of a big focus of mine right now.
No, lovely.
And, yeah, six months off the piss.
No, sorry, that was a bit of me to say first up.
I don't think it was even in the AM that episode.
No, I think it was before 12.
Okay.
It was going to engine towards the PMs, but look, I was, I was jealous, if anything.
Yeah, that's where I wanted to be.
I'm like, I could have been there too, Ben.
Yeah, it was during comedy festival, I remember, and I had been at festival club.
I'd left quite late.
So I feel like the endearing thing about you is that you really try really hard with the plan.
So I remember one time we were meeting him here at like what, maybe like nine.
And I think we were getting messages from you at like, I don't know, two, three.
Three in the morning just saying.
Just be like, yeah, see you guys soon.
And it's like, yeah, we're not seeing him at night.
Just stay it.
Yeah.
I think now I'm trying to be good at like if someone's like, we want to meet at 930.
I'm like, I'm not going to do it.
I just can't do it.
Yeah.
It's not going to happen.
All right.
So the way the show works is ask a relatively obscure.
your question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answers
as well as the real one. I have to guess which one is correct. And the first question comes
from listener, Kat Ford from Upper Hut in New Zealand. And the question is, what is the meaning
of the word fart leck? What is the meaning of the word fart leck? Hmm. Hmm. And while they're
writing their answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. So you get one point if you're fake
answer is guessed by another contestant. Another point, if you correctly guess the answer,
and by the way, I'm also playing as The House. And I've put in two of my own fake answers for
each question with the help of the question writer. We get a point for each one of those that
I guess choose as well. So each of us can go up to three points per round, which seems fair,
but the probability actually favours me. The House, and the House always wins. So if you've
listened to a previous episode, you'll know that is not necessarily the case. And to even things out,
the guests get triple points in the final round. Anyway, most of our questions come from our
great Patreon supporters. If you want to submit a question,
and sign up on any level by patreon.com slash do go on pod, which is linked in the show notes.
And while I've got you, why don't you follow us on Instagram, Facebook, et cetera, at Who Knewit Pod?
We've been filming episodes for the last of a while.
And I'm putting up clips these days.
You can't stop Matt.
You can't ask Matt.
Were you trying to ask Matt?
Irvie whispered to me, what was the word?
I forgot.
Sorry.
Fartlek.
Oh, okay.
But I loved that.
You were on a, you were powering through.
That felt, oh, man.
I felt like I was in a, in a real.
the podcast.
People have listened before...
As opposed to this fake one.
Before being on, they've listened.
They're like, oh, you read that out live.
It just, why don't you just use the same recording at the top?
And I'm like, yeah, I haven't thought about that again until right now.
I briefly had a soundboard app on the pod and it's a bit of fun, but you do get carried
away with it because you're like, ah, how often am I dropping in sound effects?
Yeah.
I was going to share.
I was a great last site where he...
He gave us his thoughts on the USA.
And he used quite a lot of...
A lot of boing.
Wow, a lot of, a lot of fartlecks, to be honest.
Yeah, gotcha.
They weren't fart, they were bigger than a...
Fartleck sounds like a smaller.
A bit of fun.
Bit of fun.
He was just having a bit of fun and I was having a bit of fun listening.
The answers are in for question number one.
What is the meaning of the word fartleck?
Here are your options.
Like Ublech, the slime made of corn, corn, starch, and water.
a Fartlake is a kid's toy product made by moose with the same amounts and method,
but with flatulence scent mixed down into a water solution to create a slime that defies reality
and stinks.
Option one, option two.
When you accidentally follow breaking, when you accidentally, oh, sorry, when you accidentally
follow through while breaking wind as you hiccup.
I'm like, this.
This doesn't make sense.
No, that makes a lot of sense.
It's really good.
Option three.
A kind of running training, which involves random variations in speed and intensity,
alternating between bursts of sprinting and slower jogging.
Option four.
It's a measurement of time in an aeronautical context.
Option five.
A word uses a greeting in many Eastern European languages.
Or finally, the kind of fart you do after eating lesumes.
Fart leg.
Fart leg.
Oh.
That's a bit of fun.
And that's the main reason I brought you here today, Ben,
was to have a little bit of fun.
So podcasts are about having fun.
Well, let's try it.
Do you have one sticking out to you there, Ben?
The first one, that feels familiar and I really like,
and stinks.
That's a good pitch, isn't it?
That's a good bitch at the end of that.
If kids aren't quite over the line with Defy's reality, okay.
Yeah, if you don't get them with a funny sound.
The funny smell will get you there.
You locking that one in?
Yeah, why not.
All right, sick.
And it's not just because it was the first one you heard.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
All right, Irvi.
I think the one about running.
The one that was like, it's like a type of training.
Yeah, yep.
Yeah.
All right, locked in and back.
The aeronautic.
What was it?
What was it?
It was like you...
Measurement of time.
That feels like it could...
That leck part?
Hmm.
Like parsec, sort of.
Is it like that?
Like, oh shit.
Which I don't know.
Are you helping me?
Is that real?
Oh, hey, now I'm not sure either.
Yeah, but that's what I think.
That's what I was thinking you were thinking, but maybe not.
Well, I wasn't, but now that you've said it, either you are true.
Oh, now I don't...
But remember, I'm playing the game as well.
Yeah, I know you're playing the game too.
But I'm also very, I'm also very, I'm, I often.
help the guests.
You're just a helpful guy.
Yeah.
I can't,
but maybe I'm helping one of them.
You know,
I could be helping you.
I could be helping Irvy.
Could be helping me.
Oh, maybe I'm not helping anyone at all.
I don't want to pick anything anymore.
No, I think I'm sticking with it.
I'll go with it.
All right.
Locked in.
Here's her out the answers.
The fart ledge,
the legume fart.
The legume fart.
That was Irvie.
A word used as a greeting
in many Eastern European languages.
That was the house.
Cat, aka the house, did the one.
I'm so sorry, I butcher it, Cat.
When you accidentally follow through and break wind as you hiccup.
Because I thought it was a fantastic idea.
Oh, that's a great one.
That's so good.
As I copied it across, I think I left a word out.
And it really, but I think I covered it quite well.
Yeah.
It didn't look like I was.
It was so smooth.
But also, the idea of farting and hiccuping, that's like, isn't that about 12?
Like, sorry, that's not what I hiccup like that.
That's how I hiccups.
It just feels really hard to do.
Because hiccuping and like burping and farting go together,
hiccuping and burping, they seem like they would counteract each other.
I've just realized hiccup is Ian, isn't it?
Wait, is this the actual definition of it?
No, that's what Cat.
Oh, I was just analysing.
That's not real.
Let's break it down.
Let's get really in depth.
Serlo went for the kids toy made by moose.
So it was Beck portrayed us.
Yes.
The moment I started writing it and then I sent it, I was like, oh, this is obvious.
I've done this.
Yeah, it was like breaking reality or something.
It really does sound like something you would invent.
But then when you went, it's a good idea, I'm like, do you know what it is a good idea?
Yeah, we've got a product launch concept.
I'm going to fart into some slime.
Sound to kids.
Beck went for the measurement of time.
That was Serlo.
You picked each other.
Cool.
That's so good.
It's a beautiful moment, actually.
So was I right?
I feel like the word context really gets you.
And that means Irvi was right.
It is a kind of running training.
Oh my God, really?
That's so huge.
Thank you so much.
Why would I think, I think, yeah, it's, yeah.
Are you a runner?
No.
Fart leg.
I don't know why I thought that.
I guess it's like a leg of a race kind of thing.
Well, it's, I mean, you did mishear the word as well.
It's fart leck.
Even on the second time, Randy, you missed it.
All my decisions are like just based off the wrong.
It worked. You're still sweet. It's huge. Yeah, it's a Swedish word, apparently. That's where it comes
from. So, geez, all three guests get a point with the house yet to score going into round two
with a question from Jane from Northcote as well as from Lorne Madden. Two people sent it in
separately. And you've just got to come up with a fake species of a moth, just the name of a moth.
You don't have to describe it or anything, just its name. It's common name, you know. And while you're
writing your answers. Here's some more info on Fartlek.
Cordona Britannica,
Fartleck, which is Swedish for
speed play, is an
approach to distance running training
involving variations of pace
from walking to sprinting, aimed at eliminating
boredom and enhanced
enhancing the psychological
aspects of conditioning. It was
popularised by the Swedish Olympic
coach, Gostahelma,
after World War II, and is
used particularly by cross-country and long-distance
track runners, usually in common
with other training methods.
This type of training can be tailored to each individual's needs.
Pace and terrain are continuously altered with workouts ranging from about 20 minutes to
several hours in length.
The runner may employ such variations as short sprints, walking, running, going up inclines,
running at a pace, or backward running.
All right, the answer is in for question number two, which of these are real species of moth?
The dubious tiger moth.
The red-backed furry nightshade.
The grey eastern Australian moss-mouth, mouth-moss.
Mouth, mouth-mouth.
I think you have three cracks there and none of them were right.
I'm literally just reading words off a page.
I can't do it.
Which is tricky in this job today.
Option three.
Option three.
Grey Eastern Australian mouse moth.
Thank you so much.
Johnny Longfingers.
That moth's down the dock
Long tooth moth
Or dapper flapper
Oh
Jubius tiger moth
The red back furry nightshade
The grey eastern Australian mouse moth
Johnny Longfingers
Long tooth moth
Or dapper flapper
All right, Irvie, what do you reckon?
I'm going to go for the long tooth moth
Um
Don't know why
Gump feel
Yeah
Yeah just
Yeah it would be interesting
If I did have a long tooth
That's what's struggling.
It's weighing it down and it's drag.
It's like tusks.
That would be cute.
What do you think, Beck?
What was the Johnny one?
Johnny Longfingers.
It's just so, that's, I just want to, I'm going to say to you, I did not come up with that.
Once again, this feels like I'm being targeted.
Well, the last one I did myself.
Johnny Longfingers just sounds like something I'd say.
far out there's so many moths there's so many moths
and they've got some of the wildest names moths and butterflies so good they do
fish birds and moths and mushrooms I'm finding lately all very a lot of weird names
you're finding mushrooms
I'm feeding them to my house talking about getting into things later in life
that's one you that's acceptable I think getting into mushrooms later in life seems to be a thing
Yeah, yeah, figure out your life, take a few mushrooms.
I was thinking we were still talking about eating button mushrooms.
And I was like, oh, okay, all right, getting into eating mushrooms, all right.
I'm going on a mushroom tour in two weeks.
Ooh.
Like, we didn't get to eat them, though he's got to observe.
Right.
What?
Observe people eating mushrooms.
It's kind of annoying.
I thought it was like a feast, but it's like, you just go and watch different mushrooms.
You watch mushrooms.
Right?
Yeah.
It's the longest to it.
They do shoot up quite quick.
Maybe we'll, I don't think we're going to watch it in live, actually.
Oh, my, me.
What was the one that was after dubious?
The Redback fairy nightshade.
That, nah.
What's dubious?
Dubious Targamo.
Yeah.
Dubious.
What did you say, dubious or dubious?
Dubious, but that's because I love those dubies.
Why don't have I seen so much about smoking and drugs?
Oh, man.
I don't even know what a doobie is.
That's who you are.
What is a dooby-doo-doo.
Is that a drug?
It's a joint, I think.
Yeah.
The drug weed.
I just know from Scooby-Duby-Duby-Doo-Doo.
Oh, my God, is that fat?
I just thought that was their name.
I think they love Choth.
I think I got to reassessed my life.
I think you've got, like, a message.
Ah, there's a green screen.
Green screen.
Is that because of...
No, you're right.
I am going to go the second...
Which, say it for me.
The Redback Ferry Night Show.
Yeah, that's calling me.
Okay.
Yeah.
And you're picking up the call.
Yeah, yeah.
Hello.
I look towards you and I thought that was you and that's why I didn't go for it.
No, because I was like, I had it locked in and then you were talking about.
I was like, oh, you know.
You can pick the same if you like.
No, I'm sticking with my dubious guy.
All right.
He seems cool.
Oh, pretty cool.
If he's real, let's find out if he is.
Here's her at the answers.
Dapper flapper.
That was the house.
Johnny Longfinger is also the house.
It's really good.
And that's good.
I had to change it the last second because I, mine was called initially the grass flying mouse.
And then when I saw Sirlo had written Grace and Australian mouse moth.
Oh.
I'm like, what is the odds of that?
Yeah.
I don't know.
It just feels right.
Like little, little mouse or like.
Like a winged mouse.
I think it's cute as shit.
Yeah.
That's good shit.
Sorry for absolutely butchering it there.
No, that's all right.
Yeah, I think maybe it was too plain.
You know, grey eastern.
Yeah, it was like.
Yeah, what do you spot at Eastern or something?
Yeah, I should have jazzed it up a bit.
And then I heard Johnny Longfingers, I was like, probably could have been more creative.
It's called Darren.
Then we had the Redback Ferry Nightshade.
Serlo one for that.
That was Irvy.
I like it, Evie.
Thanks.
Yeah, I don't know why I was saying.
Yeah, I feel like nightshade.
I don't even know what that is, but it's like some drink, right?
The first thing is it a tomato or something?
No, what is?
Oh, maybe.
Is it a tomato?
That's not right, I don't think.
Yeah, and then I thought Mots are fairy and Redback is a spider.
Tomato is a member of the nightshade family.
Oh, so it's not, so what does nightshade mean?
It's a kind of plant.
Oh.
Is that the whole tomatoes of fruit?
I think.
Some of them in there.
But yeah, they name them after all sorts of nonsense.
Moths.
Yeah, moths.
Because it's like whatever you, whoever discovers it gets to have a crack, right?
Yeah, exactly.
I wish I could discover something.
It's so fun.
Well, maybe you will on your mushroom truer.
Oh, yeah.
Irvey went for the long-tooth moth.
That was Beck.
Oh, did too.
I didn't even think of the visual.
The visual's beautiful.
Yeah.
And that means Beck's also correct.
It is the dubious tiger moth.
Oh, my gosh.
It's dubious.
That is a good question.
They're not sure if it is a tiger monkey?
Yeah.
I do think moths in particular, out of every animal,
if I had to pick one of them that I'm not vibing with,
only because they're so, they're quiet,
and then they come at you.
Right?
They always come at me.
Do they come at you?
Maybe this is just happening?
Everywhere.
You're opening, opening.
up on a lot of old trunks
Moths are coming out
One of my comedy festival shows
ended with the fact that I accidentally
swallowed a moth
about three years ago
because I was holding my phone
to my mouth
in the dark
and it looked at it
and went my inn
and I went too far down
and I was like
there was no getting it out
I would try to cough it
so I had to swallow it
is that when you stop being a vegetarian
and that was the day
actually not bad
Yeah, but it was like
The gateway mate
It felt like consent
I think if the mouth goes in your mouth
You can eat it
Yeah
Well it happens to be once I got a coal brew
From this cafe in South Melbourne
drank it and then a cockroach went in my mouth
Oh my god no
They bottled it in there
And then I realised I probably could have sued the company
But I instead took a $200 voucher
Was it still alive?
No, it was very much dead
But yeah
I guess it would be preserved and kind of, no, no, I still don't have that.
Yeah, not a great experience.
It's so funny that, yeah, like, no, I don't think most people wouldn't think, let's sue them.
Yeah.
Not really in the, although, but I think more we are connected to America via social media,
the more I do notice that a lot of people's instinct is, you should sue them for that.
Yeah.
On, like, every third person.
Good luck.
Yeah.
Do you feel like Moths would be more, like, liked if they had more confidence?
I feel like, because I'm like, what is the difference between a moths?
on a butterfly but moths like their like whole vibe is just like fucking annoying it's like
they're just like always like budding into shit and stuff or scary like I thought of
silence the lambs straight away they have bad PR but it's like they're they're they got to get
new agency interesting I've googled why they were why they're called dubious tiger
moths and it says it's due to the initial uncertainty in its classification and identification
but also I just had too much confidence but then there's but there's also one called the
agreeable tiger moth, which I think would be a much more popular moth. Yeah, like if they flew
around like butterflies, like in the daytime and like to flowers, I think, I don't think they'd be that
bad. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so Beck gets two points that round and Irvie gets a point as well.
Why? So, so. Oh, because he got my. Yeah. I can take it up. Do you know what? I'm, I'm stinging
for that point. Question three comes from William Day from
Shreveport
Use
Shreveport
Louisiana
And the question
Is it?
Which one's
True Blood?
Is that a vampire one?
Oh yeah
Very much so
It's good for a bit
And then
Not as good
Okay
As is most
Television
Continue
So the question is
What unusual
name
Do the modern day
Chicago Cubs
Have
From 1898 to
902
They're a baseball team
Major League
Baseball
Team in America
The Chicago
Cubs
But for
that four year
period, they weren't called the Chicago Cubs, they were called something else.
While you're writing your answers, here's a little bit more on that dubious tiger moth.
This is according to Karen Stouterman writing for the University of Florida blog.
The dubious tiger moth was originally described by Francis Walker in 1855 with a span of
southeastern Canada and west to Alberta, but it has also made its way to Florida to establish
itself but apparently it's a big gap in between they're not anywhere in between but
for some reason they took it up they took up uh residents in florida like a retiree couple i guess
if i learned anything from someone filled that's what florida's all bad
question three is what unusual name to the modern-day chicago cubs have from
1898 to 902 here are your six options the chicago soggy socks the chicago and gethams
the Chicago kittens
gentlemen bat boys
the Chicago dockers
or the Chicago orphans
What do you think of
Every one of them is a beautiful answer
They should have a split off
I know which one's my favourite
Tell me which one
Because it's probably like you said
Part of me thinks
Does Chicago have a dock
Chicago
Oh yeah
The movie's so good
Wait sorry I'm sorry
I'm getting it wrong.
I'm getting, no.
I just said Chicago for no reason.
I was thinking on the waterfront.
Sorry, I don't know why I'm saying that.
Does it have a big lake?
They have a big lake.
Yeah.
I have no concept of Chicago apart from.
They're up in the sort of, yeah, big lake area.
There's a big river there.
Is it Michigan?
The river cruise.
Oh, Illinois.
Right.
Would it be a good idea?
It's right in there where they're all meeting.
It's in the pocket.
Yeah, in that pocket with that sweet big lake.
In the Canada pocket.
Yeah.
Milwaukee, what's that state?
Oh, yeah.
You got that up there?
Or is that the state?
No, that's the city.
That's funny accent territory.
Yeah.
Have I talked about how I know nothing of geography on this podcast or with you?
I don't think.
I don't know.
And I've said this a few times at our high school reunion,
someone was just going around going,
do you know where things are?
And it's because we didn't learn maps.
And I don't have any concept of America.
I have no concept of anywhere.
I had really bad geography teachers as well.
Yeah.
Maybe it's our age and where we...
Went to school.
They were like, let's focus on here.
Girl schools.
No, yeah, we had a really bad geography teacher.
I went to a girl school.
Oh my God, they don't want us to win.
But they did teach me how to make a scone.
What the fuck's with that?
That's pretty good.
That's so, like, don't worry about driving, but here's here scone.
Yeah, no places, just scones.
So you got soggy socks, the anegadams, the kittens, the bat boys, the dockers or the orphans.
The reason why I was thinking.
the dockers was is there a place but maybe it makes sense to change the name because there
is no dogs but there's no lakes in LA but they're called the Lakers because the teams
move around I learned that from the movie basketball that's where I learned everything
as well not from school basketball I learned about um did they have no let's not get into
it um orphans orphans back chooses orphans I every time and that
That's, she's a modern-day Daddy Warbucks.
And that's why it would be a great wag.
What do you think, Ben?
I'm going to go bat boys.
Got to go bat boys.
When you said I know my favorite, I was going to know.
That's good shit.
I was going to go orphans as well.
You can?
Okay.
All right, I will then.
All right, here's the answer.
The soggy socks.
That was the house, the question writer in particular.
actually wrote that one
William Day
Then we had
the Chicago
on Gettoms
It was the house
Chicago kittens
was Irvy
The Chicago
Dockers was Sirlow
Oh
Sorry for getting
Too deep on dockers
But you just said
There were no docks
You could have liked in these
That's fucking podcast
Who cares
I don't know
It's a loser talks
So
Ben went for the gentleman
Bat Boys that was Beck
Oh interesting you guys are so
in sync
We are we didn't
yeah
But that means Beck and
Urvier are correct
It was the Chicago Orphans
Oh my god
So what's a story behind that?
Um
Well
During the 19
This is according to William
During the 1898 season
When Frank Selly
took over as manager
Of what was then called
The Chicago Colts
He found himself
With a roster full of players
Who had recently lost
Their former teammates
Due either to injury
or retirement
Thus leaving him
with a depleted line-up, which gave rise to his new moniker, The Orphans.
I thought maybe there was like, not cancel culture, but something similar back then that they went,
we probably shouldn't call them the orphans.
That feels a bit weird.
But no, just to find out, no, it is, they're just.
They're like, we can't call them the officers.
We've got to pick something racist.
All right.
Question number four comes from British Shirtleff from Utah in the US.
and the question is, what oddly named candidate ran for the US House of Reps in 2024?
What oddly named candidate?
This is on the Utah ballot.
So what oddly named candidate?
So just the name of a politician.
They just had a, you know, a name that stood out to Britta when she went to vote on her local ballot.
She's like, oh, that's a funny name.
I'm going to send it in a math.
Okay.
Yeah, so we're just writing in Utah.
I can't think of an example of a funny Australian politician.
politician name?
Neither can I.
But, you know, maybe it'd be like Bob up and down.
Yeah.
I love it.
As an example.
Yeah.
Sorry to steal your solo.
Yeah.
That's just fuck.
Bob up and down is a great drag king name.
Okay.
So, congratulations.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, this question, it'll probably end up being similar to that.
What would be a good drag king name?
But a person.
But it's a real person.
Anyway, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break.
All right, we're back.
Here is question number four.
What oddly named candidate ran for the U.S. House of Reps in 2024 on the Utah ballot?
Here are your six options.
Grant, your three wishes.
Dan Hamburger.
Yum.
Neil on your knees.
Juicy bun lover.
Katrina Fallick Wang
Or crinkle McStock and stuff
McStonken stuff
Grant
Your three wishes
That's hyphenated your three
hyphenated wishes
Dan Hamburger
Neil on your knees
Juicy Bun
hyphen lover
Katrina Fallick
hyphen wang
and crinkle
McSotken stuff
Selo back to you
Hmm
It's got to be Phelik Wang
It's really.
Bat boys.
It's all good shit.
Yeah, that's, I mean, that's just fun to say.
Yeah.
Like, I think, like, if you want to stand out on a ballot,
that's, like, who a party's like, get her in.
Why has no one ever just changed their name to vote for me?
Is that allowed?
I wonder.
Or tick here if you don't want to vote, and that's your name.
Oh, my God.
And then you get the donkey voters.
Yes.
I'm going to do, okay, no one's steal this idea.
I'm going to do this next election.
That's smart.
I bleep that out, Connor, so, because Beck's definitely going to do that.
Excuse me, my name is.
Sorry.
What was my name?
If you're not going to vote, hyphen, vote for me?
No, tick here.
This is going to be a nightmare of my card.
I don't think you regret this at all.
Irvy, what do you think?
Um, I think, sorry, could you just read one?
Grant, your three wishes.
Yep.
Dan Hamburger.
Neil on your knees.
Juicy bun lover.
Katrina Fallick Wang or Crinkle McStonken stuff.
Um, I think juicy bun lover is a funny thing to say.
It's a good one.
First name juicy?
I can name bun lover.
Oh, it's a bit of fun.
What do you think, Beck?
I, now, here's what I'm going to say all this out loud.
I think I know what the answer is.
So this will be embarrassing if it's wrong.
I think I know because Evan, my partner,
mostly has, for some reason,
US politics coverage on in our house.
Oh, yes.
He watches CNN.
I think it's, I don't know.
What?
Why?
I guess he.
He hosts a gaming show.
That would be, please don't tell him that he should change it to a politics thing because he will.
Yeah, American politics.
Yeah, he watches.
I mean, there's already one Australian TV show about American politics.
That's true.
He would do great on that.
He just watches a lot of Rachel Maddow as well, who drives me up the wall.
Only because she always goes like, and here is this big news that you have a pen.
Yeah.
And it won't be that big.
It'll just be like, Trump did a bad thing.
I'm like, okay, he did it again.
It sounds a little bit like maybe a little jealousy creeping in there, Beck.
I just don't know why I haven't spent so much time with Rachel Maddow when I'm there.
Dan Hamburger.
Dan Hamburger locked in.
But if I'm wrong.
You blame Rachel Maddow.
I blame Rachel Maddow.
From CNN.
MSNBC.
MSNBC.
I shouldn't know that.
I'm from here.
All right.
Here's the right.
Grant your three wishes
That was the house
Crinkle McStonken stuff
Was Beck sorry that I could not get that out
McStonken stuff
I feel like I made a
Just a test for your mouth
Because my brain wanted it to be
stocking stuff
Like stocking stuff is
I think that's what my brain kept
Trying to do
See I think I was thinking puff and stuff
I just think it's a great name
Crinkle beautiful name for a boy girl
Oh my God
H-R puff and stuff
That's a great man
I'm learning about drugs
I'm so sorry, okay, keep talking.
Neil on your knees.
That was Irvy.
That's great.
That's really good.
Really?
That was like so obviously not it.
Juicy bun lover.
Everyone went for that.
That was a house, I'm afraid.
Beck went for Dan Hamburger.
That was Serlo.
Rachel, we've had to have you done this to me.
It sounds like a guy.
Yeah.
That's a good.
It's really solid name.
Dan Hamburger is really good.
It's so American as well.
Exactly.
I sort of was thinking, you know, like Max Power from that Simpson's episode.
And I was like, America, hamburgers.
It's sort of pretty smart stuff.
That's a powerful name.
Yeah, and hamburger.
But the correct dancer, so like, you got it.
Katrina Fallick Wang.
Oh, awesome.
Had a gut feel.
Wow.
And that's a real name.
Her surname was Fallick and she married a Wang.
Oh, Katrina.
They chose to Hoffa night because I thought, yeah.
No, Katrina, no.
Why would you choose that?
Maybe they're like funny.
I think she found it pretty fun.
Yeah.
She's in like a poly relationship and grew up on a commune.
Oh, that's a fun thing, man.
She's pretty, you know.
They're leaning in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So double points there to Serlo.
And finally, the house is on the board.
It only took four rounds.
So the scores are now house on one.
Serlo and Irving on three apiece, but out in front of five points, it's Beck Petratus.
We're up to the penultimate question here from Steve Wildsmith from right here in Brunswick, Victoria.
And the question is, why is the date the 11th of April, 1954, unique?
What's unique about the date, the 11th of April, 1954?
While you're writing your answers, here's some more info about Falik Wang.
Andrew F, writing for Jejun magazine, writes,
This week we are profiling Katrina Falik Wang, she, her.
no you did not read that name wrong according to her website my maiden name is pronounced phallic
yes just like that i married someone with the last name of wang we hyphenated our names to make it
more funny growing up on a commune katrina had her first child at age 15 and today works
counselling teen mothers make sense katrina is openly queer and polyamorous in her personal life
She is an avid hiker and kayaker, and she fosters kittens.
Ah, no orphan kittens.
She participates in art and alternative communities, and she mentors young women who are interested and involved in STEM disciplines.
She's passionate about neurodiversity and disability activism, although running as a Democrat, Katrina, believes that the multi-party system would better serve the American people than a two-party system.
I don't think she's got my vote.
I don't think she won the seat, but that is.
Oh yeah, all right
Answers are in
For question number five
Why is the date
The 11th of April
1954 unique
Here are your options
It's the day
Chicken Salt was invented
Ooh
Delicious
It's one of the only dates
That's a prime number
Oh
And can anyone here get that
Oh
Arever you good at maths at all
Um
You did go to
Um
What did he say
Um
Did you go to McCrob
Yeah.
Yeah.
So in my head, that's where all the smart people are.
Yeah, but the maths, I wouldn't say I'm good at it.
Okay.
I just love that we don't know.
We probably don't know the answer.
No, I would have no idea.
No, great.
Continue.
It's been dubbed the most boring day in history with no births, deaths or events of significance.
Wow.
Two men from Adelaide attempted a coup of the Soviet government,
but got mixed up between West and East Berlin,
sparking a diplomatic incident
Option 5, a BBC host became the first person
to say fuck on television
I'm the first person
I'm the first person saying on a podcast now
Well finally it was the first state
where human cause climate change began
impacting the environment
with temperatures beginning to rise
and not stopping
Not as fun that one
Oh, I'm trying to finish with a fun one
What do you think, Irvie?
I'm going to go with the no-death thing.
Boring day, yeah.
It's like a boring day.
It's so cool.
I mean, it's probably not true, but maybe.
And it's fun because if it is true, like, people would have been born that day.
They'd be like, oh, great.
Great, thanks.
No one good was a lot made alive that day.
It's the point to me and my family.
Like, shut up.
What do you think, Beck?
What am I doing?
I can't...
Oh,
the...
A pardon of me wants to go for the prime number one.
No, I don't.
What was the other one at the top?
Chicken salt was invented.
I want it to be that.
But then another...
It feels about, right?
Big time for fish and chip shops in Australia.
It's an Australian invention, do you know that?
I think I did.
Only because I think I've read up on it too much.
That's one of those things that...
I have a lot of information.
information about that and then I can't tell you what a prime number is really or where
anything is I'm going to say that it is the one about the coup the sorry not the
coup the diplomatic okay attempted coup yeah the oh it wasn't attempted coup great I think
that sounds the way that's written that's the only reason I'm yeah sparking that sounds like
something Rachel Maddow might say yeah she would say this just in
I don't know her
I don't know her either
I feel a bit bad about it
I'm siding with you though
I can't stand it
Eric Beck Judge
I know
I literally going down for two
Oh no what a terrible
What about you Selo
Well I'd like to take chicken salt
I feel like a big thing that happened in our lifetime
As chicken salt went from only being in fish and chip shops
To being able to buy it at supermarket
Big advancement
Yeah, what was that date?
Obviously, not the most boring date ever, that's for sure.
That's a significant event.
All right, Sirlow, that's locked in.
Here's who wrote the answers.
It's one of the only dates that's a prime number.
That was Sirlow.
Oh, which I...
It's a good answer.
I like it as well because the question is, why is it unique?
And your answer is it's one of the only.
Your answer says it's not unique.
I'm going to say, I don't really know what a prime number is.
Neither do I.
Oh, I do.
So, but we don't have time, we don't have time
I would explain that otherwise
BBC host said
That was Steve, okay, the question writer
That was, that was, that sounds about right
That sounds believable, 54
Yeah
They said fuck before we even had TV at all
Yeah
That makes sense
The way of the world, huh?
Bloody hell
The climate change won
That was Beck Petratus
Don't know why I went so depressing
with that.
Sounds real though.
It does sound, yeah.
I know.
And also it's like,
welcome to this comedy quiz.
Imagine if that was the answer
and Matt was like,
and here's the moment,
I'm going to bring this up
and I'm going to talk about climate change.
Also, we can talk about anything.
I feel like none of that could,
also that sentence would make my dad
who works at a science organization
go, what are you talking about?
You absolute.
Chicken salt being invented.
Sirlow went for that.
That was Irvy.
Oh, yeah, I don't know why I said it.
I just said it because I'm like really hungry.
You know, really, it's so funny to be really hungry and be craving, like, a condiment.
That's when you know I'm doing a lot of research into gut health,
and that's when you know your gut's screwed.
Because if you have, like, random sugar cravings and salt cravings, it's like an imbalance in your biome.
Salt is my favorite food.
Me too.
I'm addicted.
Yeah.
I like pepper.
Maybe we're even out.
Oh, yeah.
Peppers?
Do you crave pepper?
I'm, man, I've got big on pepperlase right now.
Pepper and chilis.
Chili oil and chili oil.
Do you know, I bought MSG?
Oh, yeah, you can do that.
It's added to stuff.
Yeah, just checking them and things.
It's got a panda on the packet.
Beck went for the diplomatic incident and the attempted coup.
That was Steve, okay, the question of all.
That means, Hervey is correct.
It's been dubbed the most boring day in history.
They're kind of been no deaths on that day.
That's crazy.
There were no significant deaths.
Oh.
This guy, back in 2010, a scientist called William Tunstall-Pidot ran a computer program
because he had this database of all important events.
And the program told him that was the most boring day.
And someone's like, that day changed my life.
Yeah, exactly.
That's so funny.
So Irvy scores a couple points that round.
Nice.
And the house again.
Here comes the house.
So going into the final round
It's tight
The house is on two points
Serlo on three points
But out in front on five points is a piece
It's Urvian back
Wow
But the final round's worth triple points
Which means
Really, the house doesn't get triple points
So really the house is probably out of the running
To be honest
But the three of you are right in the game
And the final question comes from
Abel Bracegirdle from Lewisham
Sounds like someone who might have
Run for the Utah government
What a wild name.
Love it.
And Abel's question is,
what is the synopsis of the 2011 film The Future?
So you just go to, this one will be,
it'll be a longest answer,
it'll be like a short paragraph.
Okay.
Kind of about the same length
there's a lot of Beck's answers anyway.
Something's wrong in my brain and I can't stop it.
No, I think it's, I think it's great.
Get it out there.
I'm editing something at the moment and all it is is just me going,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I'm like, shah.
That's editing anything you do.
but that's that's why Connor does edit this
because I just really find it hard
I've got to edit six hours of me yammering
that's that they should
that should be like a way to
um
Connor don't edit that out
make it louder
make it echo
while you're writing your answers
here's some more info about the most boring day of all time
This is according to an NPR article from 2010, it writes,
lots of things happened on the 11th of April 954.
They must have, but the claim by a University of Cambridge-trained computer scientist
that is supposedly supercomputer program has determined that the second Sunday in April of 1954
was the most boring day since the dawn of the 20th century is getting some attention on the web.
Today, William Tunsel Pettow told all things considered co-host Robert Siegel
that after a computer analysis of more than 300 million facts
done by a search engine called True Knowledge that he's invented,
it seemed clear that, well, nothing great happened on the 11th of April 1954.
Robert told Tunstall Pettow that this must be a completely unsupportable conclusion.
But Tunstall Pettow insisted that while on most days lots of famous people are born,
famous people die and there are events happening, this particular day was extremely notable for having
almost nothing happened. Now, we're not Cambridge trained computer geniuses, but we do have to admit
that searches of other databases such as history orb.com and the Library of Congress's website
don't turn up much of interest for the day in question. Of his inspiration to run such a computer
program, Tunstall Pettow explained in his blog, it occurred to us that with over
300 million facts, a big percentage of which tie events, people and places to points in time,
we could uniquely calculate an objective answer to the question, what was the most boring day
in history? For fun, we wrote a script to scan all days from the beginning of the 20th century
instead of going. The Telegraph notes that, quote, on that day a general election was held in
Belgium, a Turkish academic was born, and an Oldham athletic footballer called Jack Shuffle
Botham died. Apart from that, nothing much happened.
According to Steve, the question writer, on that day, Queen Elizabeth visited Sri Lanka, Belgium had the general elections, and a charity speedboat meeting was held in South Australia.
So, yeah.
Important to them.
Totally.
I think everyone who took part in that charity speedboat meeting were like, what do you mean?
That day was high octane.
That was a fantastic day.
Here is the final question.
What is the synopsis of the 2011 film The Future?
An Academy Award nominated animated short film about a sentient calendar who embarks on a journey
to find out what comes after December 31st.
Along the way, it befriends an anxious alarm clock and a nihilistic motivational poster.
It's option one, option two.
The future is about love, dreams and the things we miss.
Walter Goggin stars as Mark Bennett, a used car salesman that finds a corvette that takes you forward
to the most important moments of your future life.
Mark starts questioning how his current actions, a change.
these future events and he learns an important lesson about accepting your fate.
Option three, said in a parallel 1950s era, a group of scientists try to warn the world of a future
that's coming for them, a mass extinction event caused by the world's volcanoes all exploding.
Dr. Sally Florence, played by Jennifer Anderson, tries desperately to create a method to cool
the volcanoes while her husband, played by Dave Gorman, puts the pressure on her family life.
it's a high octane drama exploring the balance of work and family okay that's three option four
sophy and jason are in their mid-thirties childless and stuck in jobs that were supposed to be just for now
but have seemingly set them on a road to nowhere when they decide to adopt a sickly stray cat
their perspective on life changes radically literally altering the course of time and space
and testing their faith in each other and themselves option five in this stephen king adaptation a small
town wakes up to find the sky is a swirling void, roads leading to nowhere and clocks
ticking backwards. As reality peels away one layer at a time, they discover the future
isn't coming. It's already inside the house. Well, finally, the oldest person in the world
and the youngest person in the world step into a time travel machine amidst difficult circumstances.
When they start to time travel, we don't know if it's forwards or backwards. Finally, the motion is
too intense and everyone starts becoming ageless and car sick.
The movie turns into an investigation on inertia and feeling nauseous.
The past, the future.
What's the difference?
That's like interstellar, right?
All right, Bexie got the short film.
You've got the Walter Goggins used car sales, buys a car, Corvette.
The parallel 1950s.
you've got the childless couple who adopt a cat
you've got the Stephen King adaptation
where the future is already inside the house
or finally the investigation on inertia
and feeling nauseous
I tried so hard just saying because I'm like
I want to win and I was like
analyse everything Matt is doing
how's Matt saying it and it's impossible
yeah I'm not analysable that's impossible
that was so difficult
Jennifer Ashton's been in a lot of things
yes what was the
Walton Goggins is now, right?
So that maybe is why people are like,
someone sent that in.
One of his old obscure ones, yeah.
Because he was in the shield?
Ah.
Was he also in Shield?
He's been around since the 90s.
He's turned from like that guy into a real actor.
Yeah.
But I was like, oh, I'm trying to analyze the question.
Get to the bottom of it.
The kitten one for some reason also.
I was like, maybe it's that.
I'm going back to Walton Gogh.
I'm going on.
More than Goggins. Go on Goggins? Go Goggins.
Locking in Goggins.
Lock in the Gorgon, please.
All right.
Ben, what do you think?
I'm going to go with the Jennifer Aniston one.
Locked in.
I can't.
Okay, I won't go Goggons because then we'd have a tie win.
That's kind of cute, though.
Maybe I'll go.
You can?
That's nice.
Oh, we both lose.
Yeah, that's true.
I don't know.
We still do.
We're still draw.
Yeah, okay, I'll go for that too.
All right.
Locked in.
Uh, here's who wrote The Answers.
Uh, the Academy Award nominated, uh, short film with about the alarm clock and whatnot.
That was Abel, the question writer.
Uh, Abel also wrote the one about Stephen King adaptation with the future already inside
the house, a bit of fun.
Hervey wrote the one, it turned into an investigation on inertia and feeling nauseous.
I had a feeling.
Uh, Surler, you went for the parallel 1950s one with Jennifer Aniston.
And that was Beck betrayed us.
I'm so sorry, I started playing the game just then.
I said Jennifer Rastell.
And Beck and Irvie went for the one with Walter Goggins.
That was Sirlow.
Oh!
Meaning no one got the correct answer.
It was about the childless couple who adopted a cat.
Wow.
That's so funny.
Oh, my God.
So, geez.
On Rotten Tomatoes, 73% of critics gave it an approval rating.
So it's pretty well liked.
Audience didn't like it as much, 54%.
Reviewed by Deborah Ross of The Spectator.
She did not like it.
She wrote, didn't get it.
Might have got it if I'd concentrated more, but I lost the will.
Really self-critical.
Readers, I'm not proud of this, but we'll say it anyway.
Oh, I was baffled.
I've been bamboozled.
It's such a funny review where you're like, your job is to concentrate and then tell us what you thought.
In your review, being like, yeah, I couldn't.
But it's just not, that's not on the movie.
No.
That's not the movie's fault that you, no.
Ah, it's so, so strange.
I would have left that bit out.
I would just say you're baffled.
Yeah, that's fine.
But saying, I wasn't watching it really.
There's no wonder you're baffled then.
Jason Adams loved it, though, writing,
somehow there is a narration by a cat wearing a little cast on its leg,
and it is a beautiful and a heartbreaking thing.
All right, final scores.
I believe, are thusly, in fourth place on two points, it's the house.
In third place, on five points, it's Irvie.
In second place on eight points, it's back.
But jumping to the lead.
Oh, my goodness.
With double triple points to the final round as Ben Searle.
Oh, my God.
Thank you so much.
I wasn't exactly sure how I was going to play out when Irvy said,
I'm going to, well, it'll lead to a draw.
Can I tell you my play in my head?
I was like, oh, if Irvie does the same thing as me,
then we're going to get the same amount of points,
and then I'm going to get points from Serlo.
But unfortunately, I picked the wrong one to the select.
I really, like, I was not thinking about the game at all,
and then went, no, I'm going to win it.
And then lost terror.
What are the heck.
It's tough stuff.
Thanks so much for joining us, Irvie.
Anything you got a plug or anything?
Yeah, I'm doing a show in Bendigo on October 3rd,

I'm doing like a voting thing with mates for like favorite Australian songs.
Kind of like the Triple J one only.
Well, we're thinking about doing it for our pod for top 50 Australian punk and hardcore songs.

Mm-hmm.
And then I'll read it out.
Nice.
Yeah, nice.
I want to keep you in the loop.
Have you sent yours, Beck?
No, that's all right.
I can just say good.
But the only reason I am not sending them, and this is so funny, is that I am forgetting words.
I'm Googling what word I'm thinking.
of and the words aren't like complex ones it's like oh what's it anyway don't worry no you're doing
good no don't worry back if no it's gonna be the best one if irvi's late for it oh it'll be on me
the radio no i think that's a big deal who you on with ervie um no it's like it's like it's
like at the drive with alley more but it's like warwick something oh yeah cap on no warwick
You know, like, I know there's no other comedies.
It's just like you just talk about a topic.
Nice.
I'm going to talk about whether you can speak in spars or not.
Well, you should be able to speak in spas or not.
Can't say anything in spiles anymore.
I was Irvi.
What's your stance?
SPA.
Well, I had an experience that I'll tell you off air that was interesting.
I went to a Japanese onsen once.
No, you can't speak there.
Yeah.
Can you go with your tats?
It's here.
word. Well, it was in Collingwood. It's not there anymore. Did they let you in with your tats,
but they were like, those aren't good enough tats for a hour. Not cool or not.
Get out of here. Better pop on a backwards cap, mate. Yeah. No, it's been, I've been just like
watching. I've been trying to go to the spa and sort of to deal with my skin and just like relax
and stuff. And then I've been witnessing a lot of interesting stuff.
Oh.
I'm like, this sounds so salacious. I'll just tell you guys after because it makes me really bad.
I don't think I could ever go.
No, you can.
It's so fun.
It's like the best thing.
Like I could barely go to like the hot springs in.
Oh, really?
That's like.
Okay, that's so mild.
Yeah, I'm like, but I think more in my head, it's less a, well, actually, I don't want anyone
to look at me, number one.
But number two, you're in a big bath of a bunch of people.
There's something that just gets to me about being in like a soup with everyone.
I think with the ons and the water is so hot that.
Well, it's self.
It's self-cleaning.
Self-cleaning.
It's got a lot of salt in.
I think the thing I would worry is accidentally slipping somehow and going
and like and that's my big yeah that's gross yeah a friend of mine and drowning or just
not having that water in your mouth just a tiny amount of water the drowning you'd be fine
if I go down and I drown I'm like I won't remember that I'm born yeah yeah exactly
you're all enough in my same yeah do you know even you talking about running made me feel
so tired.
I was like, oh, I thought the...
I was exercising you.
Yeah.
Did you, do you exercise?
Do you still run a lot?
You used to run so much.
I used to run a lot, but I, since I had had a mystery knee injury in Vegas and I haven't
really run.
I haven't really run.
And what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas so bad.
You have no idea how you hurt your knee.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
So I haven't, I haven't, I kind of haven't run.
Because I just remember one of my.
My core memory of being like 20 or something sitting in that first stupid old studios was every so often we would be there like writing sketches or stuff.
And then you'd be like, I'm going.
You just disappear and run.
Oh, really?
You and Andy would just run out the door and be gone.
Yeah, because it was Andy and Al first.
They would do it.
And I, you know how Al's just like no nonsense sometimes?
I'm like, I can't run.
They're running 5Ks.
I'm like, I can't run that far.
And he's like, yes, you can.
Just come and do it.
But Al has...
You just don't, you don't stop until you get to 5Ks.
I'm like, I understand that that's how you would do it.
I don't think I'm up to it.
Alastair approaches life in such a, like, oh, you just go, do it.
I remember when he was like, also in that same warehouse, trying out cigarettes?
Do you remember that?
I can't even remember why.
Now I feel bad he's not going to ask.
He's just in the back of the studio, just going like, oh, just see, see if this is for me.
Yeah.
Smoking.
Didn't he found a pack?
It's a packet like in an alleyway.
I think that kick it off.
That's so what a funny reaction to find your bag and may as well take these out.
Have a crack.
It's all very scientific.
They're freebies.
I guess that's how it starts, isn't it?
You know, you just see it and then you see the hack and then...
Normally not to a 29-year-old or whatever he was.
Normally that's when you're 14 or something.
It's so straight.
Look, because in punk and hardcore stuff, people are straight-edge for a long time and then, you know,
might start drinking at like 30.
But then those same people will also start smoking.
And it's like, the drinking makes sense.
The smoking at this stage, but I mean, smoking is back in a big way at the moment.
Is it really?
People are going analogue.
It speaks to that organic.
Oh, yeah.
People who don't want AI, they don't want baking anymore.
They want to be a slave to the battery.
Exactly.
Too electrical.
Going to go back to old school fire.
So then you get a break too.
You get to go, like, I feel bad sometimes at, like, different workplaces going to go get a coffee.
but you can
oh I'm just going to go to get a smoke
and you go like you do that
because you're like
because you're so cool
I don't know why I saluted just this
Yeah
It's so cool
Get out there
Smoke cigarettes
Yeah it's a weird one
To get into I reckon
I had an older age
Although I think that's the same
With any vice
And I got in a coffee
At a later age
Which seems like why would you
Not do smoking
Yeah
It does say like
Why have I taken it up
What are you a child
Yeah
It's weird
Sorry I'm just nodding at you on the podcast
I was letting everyone speak
I was like
Hmm
Matt did you see that this light lit up rainbow colors a second ago
Yeah
Yeah
I wonder what that means
Should I message evidence
I think it's
I think it's just a fault that it does sometimes
It's fun
I like it
It's a bit of fun
This poor studio
Do you like my assembly of things that I keep bringing in here, by the way?
Yeah, like the AFL stuff, that's all yours.
Yeah, that's all mine.
Yeah, this is mine.
God, this is really not kept this in good dick.
These are terrible photos.
I should take photos of people doing football.
Oh, this is from ages ago, right?
I wonder if being a wag would be fun.
I think being a wag would be fun.
It would be so fun.
Yeah.
It could be a nightmare.
It would be so self-cath.
I've had acne being of wags and my days of beautiful.
So it's like.
But then you have, I feel like if you get enough money and fame and are in a good mental space,
then everything just flows.
I want that.
I'd be in flow.
There's a wrag at the moment who's copying up.
a lot of grief on TikTok because she's not like, I guess, traditionally...
Not waggy enough.
Yeah, she's not waggy enough.
Or not it, in what?
I guess she's like not, you know, blonde skinny.
Like, she's not, you know, traditionally, like, it's pretty gross.
Yeah.
That's so crazy.
Who's the guy?
Who's the...
Surely it's just up to the partner.
I know.
You would think that, but it turns out a lot of people have an opinion about it.
But that makes me feel like, yeah, maybe their partner is also cool.
Like are they
Yeah, I think it's just like
They met when they're in high school
High school sweethearts
And then it's like
They have a great relationship
And everyone's like
Why doesn't she have a
Lula lemon deal?
No
It's sick
All the wags would be so toxic
So
Yeah
But would they be
I don't know
I think they're just
Yeah
You think
Beck Judd's nice
Oh
Sorry
Sorry to
Sorry
You really went to the throat
Yeah
So you think
Beck Judd's nice
You've had someone
That's what you basically said.
Tom of mine.
You basically said.
I didn't know.
I didn't know this was your specialty subject.
Oh, my God.
You're obsessed with that.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I'm so sorry.
I should have, yeah, I should have thought of that.
All right.
What was the question about?
Sorry, Irvia.
I'm very aware that we are pushing towards your go time.
I just said five minutes earlier, then I probably need to go anywhere.
I just need to be there at 3.30, so.
Oh, you'll make it.
I'll make it.
I'll make it.
Because there's no.
I'm school always
Totally a good time
Driving out at the moment
You're like
Oh my God
This is what the roads
Should be like
And that's why
You know more children
Yes
Okay
Let them all age out
When you've been
Shut them down
When you've been shut them down
The kids
Go have to go somewhere right
The docks
Get them working is what I'm saying
In the past
Did they actually come up
If you got an orphan
When they actually be like
in their little, like, um, like, chimney suite outfits.
What?
Sorry.
I'm going to get cancelled.
I'm going to stop talking.
All the orphans have to dress like a chimney sweep.
I'm like, that would be so cute.
I wouldn't mind.
I don't adopt a chimney sweep guy.
I mean.
So do you have a chimney, Irvi, that he's cleaning?
You're going to adopt basically just for the jobs you need done around the house.
Oh, that kid looks cute.
I reckon he could dry a dish.
That would be cute.
So.
I went, sew my clothes together.
Chimney sweeps.
Why?
How?
Oh, no.
I was like, how did they,
how they get so dirty?
But it's because of the chimney.
Because they get to the chimneys.
I was like, if I was a chimney sweep,
I would, like, wear stuff to prevent that so you could, you know what I mean?
Wear like a beekeeper type outfit.
Yeah, like a mask, but they're all just always up, like in Mary Poppin.
They're all of them.
I think maybe it's come a long way since
Is there like a dedicated service?
Like is it Jim's chimney sweeps
Something like that
Maybe we should look in
Can we look into this?
We can look into this.
Jim's chimney switch
When everybody's rushing off
Ben and Beck will stay
And get to the bottom of this
Yeah, yeah
chimney cricket
All right we're back
No, leave that all in
Oh, no, that'll be in
Somewhere, Connor, you'll find a special right
Connor's the end of it.
I thought he was a chimney swimming.
Well, you know, part-time.
Happy.
Was that on CNN?
This was from a Jejunne magazine.
Jeune?
I don't know if that's how to say it.
It could be G-June.
I think Jujun is a good stab at it
Jaune.
It's like Saladour.
That's like selladour.
Magazine?
What's Saladour?
It's like the phrase that like sounds good together.
Oh.
Saladour.
It's in that.
Is it in Doddy Darko?
Yeah.
I was like, is this actually a thing outside of Doddy Darko or is it just
Doddy Darko?
I don't know.
Bye.
Sometimes when I watch movies, I just.
think it's true sure that sounds real the most beautiful word in the english
language that's it's it's celadour yeah but then you say it and you're like nah I
reckon like what about love love is love is a beautiful it sounds very French
celadour salador a jadeur meet me a jadeau we have a show coming out and I have a show coming out
And I haven't, I've been hinting at it on a bunch of other podcasts,
but I'm just going to say it.
Yeah.
That on July 30th, there's a new YouTube show.
It's called Space Murder.
So it came out like two days ago.
Oh, wait.
Sorry.
Let me.
Connor, I ate it this out.
Connor, please.
Um, well, uh, probably again.
Yeah, so I think this is coming out, I believe, on September the 1st.
I missed that because I was looking up the date of when it's coming out.
And Beck, what about you?
You can go find it on.
YouTube. Oh. But we're changing the URL so that's why I had a moment where I don't know what
it will be. Conner, edit this out as well. Let me think, sorry Connor, this is a terrible edit.
What's your take on the talking the spar over you? Um, what is my take? I feel like
it's hard to say. I feel like I'm on the fence. Um, if I had to choose gun to my head one or the
other, I'd say no talking. But I think that's like I'm a sick person and a sick person. And a sick
world and like I feel like we shouldn't not have to isolate ourselves and you know like that's rude and
like you do learn a lot by like listening to other conversations but I just don't know who I am
inside the sauna and outside the sauna like inside the sauna I can be like really irritable and stuff
because people try and talk to you and you're like it's so hot you're like pretty much like
just fighting to survive and then people are like oh what's your name like where you're from and
you're like you're still getting used to the sauna yeah there's people chatting in there
their experience saunah heads that's true yeah and then some
Sometimes I'm like jealous because everyone's like friends.
So you're really about you not having friends.
I'm just like, shut up.
I'm like, if I have no one to talk to, no one does.
I think that's fair.
Yeah, you mature.
I think it was came out in 2011.
But yeah, yeah, maybe that should be the rule.
It's like you can talk as long as you talk to me.
But then I don't want everyone to talk to me.
You can talk to me if you're cool.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, you're right.
It's easy just to...
Maybe it's like different topic.
Maybe it's like different, you know, like, uh...
It's a sauna version of like, if you brought snacks, bring it off for everyone.
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
Could have it like, you know, on the train, some trains will have a quiet carriage.
Okay, if you talk, you have to make it interesting and not just like boring shit.
Okay.
Yeah.
It has to be goss that anyone can relate to and understand.
You want veto power.
Yeah.
because I hate and you have to talk in like a objectively not annoying way
and no annoying sounds and stuff okay which is that's easy to handle what's objectively
not annoying the people who've listened this far into this episode I think would
all objectively agree we aren't annoying no unless they hate listening which is possible
shout out to you not be with any listeners um no you're not annoying at all
I don't know if I bought that, to be honest, I don't know if I bought that at all.
You're not annoying, but let's wrap it off.
