And he looked down at my stomach and goes, oh, man. I struggle with my weight in many different ways. Come and listen to me. Struggle with it alongside other fat people on the show, Tubby, you can find it wherever you find your tubcasts, your podcasts.

Acast helps creators launch, grow, and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com Welcome to Who knew with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart. Our first guest is host of Claire Hooper's House of Games. It's Claire Hooper. Oh, hello. Thank you.

Do you know somebody introduced me as host of Claire Hopper's House of Games? It's Claire Hooper the other day. They said Claire Hoppers. They said, Clare, host of Claire Hoppers, House of Games. It's Claire Hooper. Okay.

And I'll tell you what, the rest of the gig wasn't much better. That's brilliant. You can catch our second guest special. Who Cares on Amazon Prime? It's Lizzie Who? Hello. It's also on Ivy You at the moment.

Oh, bloody out. I think you'll find it's called Hopcares. Hock cares. I don't know. I'm sorry. That's going to be our show together that we do. Yeah. Hop cares.

Our third guest. this week has licked every state and federal parliament building in Australia is Sammy Jay. Look, things you do before you're 40, I don't think should be brought up in an introduction on a podcast. I did a lot of wild things. And yes, that includes licking every state and federal parliament. And then even the territories, because people started coming at me saying, why haven't you done the tariff? What have you licked our one? Yeah, yeah. Pop up the Darwin. In all of the journeys, I only made one journey specifically to lick a building. All the rest was just

opportunistic when I was touring. I think I went to Hobart just to leak. Oh, that's so nice. Still a nice place, great food and wine. Beautiful. Love it time. Delicious, delicious buildings. Sandstone, convict built.

Wow. So good. I'm done. All right, Sammy, you're the only first time player here today. So I'll explain how the show works to you and any new listeners, of course. I ask a relatively obscure trivia question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read out their answer as well as the real one

and I have to guess which one is correct. I didn't tell you this before you invited me on because I didn't want to be uninvited, but I know everything. Oh no. Yeah, sorry. Was that going to put me, like should I recuse myself? Like everything.

Oh. Yeah. Wow. Do you know everything about my mind? Oh, yeah, because there are a few questions about the inner workings of Lizzie Who. I'll play dumb like enough that I feel like a regular contest. I think that would be great if you could.

Yeah, that'll be beautiful. When the scores are revealed at the end, we'll know just how humble and generous you are. Love it. Everyone you don't get, we know, was humility. It's kind. So you get a point for a different reason. I just got fired up.

No. The first question was actually sent in by two listeners. Hero from Takakawa in Japan and Nick Dennis from Ediz in Pennsylvania. The question is, what is the Japanese word sundoku mean. What does the Japanese word sundoku mean? T-S-U-N-D-O-K-U. While you're writing your answers, I'll explain how the scoring works, so you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by one of the other contestants, and another point if you correctly guess the answer. And by the way, I'm also playing as the house, and I've put

into my own fake answers for each question with the help of the question writer, and we get a point for each one of these that I guess choose. 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 off. You've listened to previous episodes, you'll know that is not necessarily the case. And 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, sign up on any level via patreon.com slash do go on pod, which is linked in the show notes. All right, the answer in for question number one. What does the Japanese word sundoku mean? Here are your options. A word

for artificial mist, i.e. not naturally occurring. Option two, a large, unexpected victory. Option three, the feeling of comfort you get when you flip a pillow over to the cold side. Option four, to buy books just for them to pile up without reading. Option five, a type of crossword puzzle. Or finally, the art of sleeping in, but cute. Sundo means sleep and co makes it cute. What do you think, Claire?

Oh, that's interesting. I mean, I don't want to share my working out too much, but Co doesn't mean cute? But I think it means small, maybe, doesn't it? Oh, you're small and cute. Yeah. Because, of course, Kauai is famously cute, right? In Japanese?

Okay, so... Sammy would know that. Is that right, Sammy? At this stage of the game, I'm not prepared to sort of reveal my working together. Yeah, yeah, sure. No, no, no. It's a real mistake to go first and say everything you're thinking.

But that's just the kind of player I am. I like it to take longer. And I like nobody to win. I, Matt, in answer your question, I do not know. So, I, you know what? Wild. I like the artificial mist. Okay.

I like it. I don't feel like it's a right answer. But I like it. And sometimes that's where you put your points. Yes. I think I like that way of playing going, the one I wish was real. I'm going to manifest it by picking it. Yeah.

And now whether it's real or not, next couple of minutes it's real to you that's right it's a real schrodinger's cat of an answer right shroding is missed what do you think lizzie i am thinking the reading pile reading pile yeah i'm gonna lock that in you got a got a reading pile i'm big i'm a kindle girl oh yeah so yeah there's a pile in there it's just file it's so efficient of you i pile a pile yeah i've just moved so many times that I can't be bothered with books anymore. And do you get through them on the Kindle?

Yeah, I prefer it, actually. Because it gives me a percentage. Oh, this is like... Gameify. Yeah, I'm gamified. Well, I go, okay, tonight I'm going to read 10% of this book. And then I read 10%. Wow.

Sounds like you're really enjoying it. Get through the book. Ancient readers used to call that chapters. No, I did 10. I do percentages. Yeah, just even if it's halfway through the chapter. It's halfway through a sentence. I just hit 10.

Time for sleep. If only, I haven't had no coffees. The only e-book I ever bought was Steve Jobs' biography when I got the, like, the first iPad. And I was so distracted by all the other apps. I never even read it, which I think is an indictment on him. It's what he would have wanted. Yeah, yeah.

So I just can't trust myself to try and. The Kindle's different. Because the one thing I do love about it is that you can press on a word and it tells you what it means. Can't do that in an old book. Can't do that in this round either. Well, that means that's your ghost, Sammy. Which one did you just pick? I pick a pile of books.

Pile of books, of course. Hence the book chat that followed. I liked the unexpected victory. Okay. Very nice. Nobody picked the pillow, which is a lot. a shame because that was a nice one. I love the pillow and I do love that feeling.

Yeah, it's so good. I've got a cooling pillow. Oh my God. You're like very futuristic. It's just like to gear guys. Refrigerated pillows, bloody hell. And one side's blue, so is it cooling or is it just in your mind? Oh, either way.

Well, Cébo counts for me. All right, so this is who wrote the answers. The Art of Sleeping in But Cute, which Claire absolutely tore apart. That was Lizzie. I'm so sorry. It was a really good one. Thank you. It was obviously mine, I feel.

I don't even know if coat is small. It means like if you, like, Claire coat, like, chan. It's like a little. It's affectionate. Yeah, a little affectionate thing, I think. Yeah, I think of little and cute as similar, but yeah, I mean, I can't fault it because you use that correctly. Okay.

You were like, that's not right. And you were right. It was not right. Wow. A type of crossword puzzle that was Hero, one of the question writers. The cold side of the pillow. That was Nick, the other question writer. So the house gets no points this round.

A word for an artificial mist. Claire went for that. That was Sammy Jay. Oh, my God. I love that. Very good. Points to you. You do in fact know everything, including how to fool me.

That's mainly what I know, actually. Well, From the fact that Sammy went for a large unexpected victory, which was Clare's. Oh, yeah! You're on the similar wavelengths. It's an arm wrestle now. Lizzie's stuck in the middle. Well, it actually means Lizzie was correct.

It is buying books just for them to pile up. So you each get a point. What a beautiful even start to go. That's gorgeous. Friends. You can never have any other people on this podcast. We won it now. Yeah, this is beautiful.

Let's shut the podcast. down, I think. Yeah. This is it. So we're going around number two with, well, he doesn't want to shut it down. No, I know. I noticed that he left an end of point. So he could take that our suggestion.

Yeah. Well, we don't want to put that in the listeners mind. I might get excited by it. The final episode. Start a campaign. That brings us to question number two, which comes from Nick Saxby from Montrose in Scotland. The question is, well, actually, what you've got to do is come up with a fake

species of beetle. So you've just got to make up species of beetle. Species of beetle. You don't have to describe it or anything. Sammy, just the name of a species of beetle. And the popular name, not the Latin name or anything. Oh. I was already attempting some bad Latin, which is just as well.

I mean, I was going to say you could, but yeah, probably would stand out now. Sorry about that. Romanus Maximus. While you're writing your answers, here's more info on. Sundoku. Hero writes, my copy of Uzimaki remains tragically ornamental. To all of us out there with stacks of books lying around, you no longer have to feel so bad about your purchasing habits, though. This problem is common enough that the Japanese language has a single word to describe the phenomenon. For the BBC, Tom Gurkin writes, Professor Andrew Gerstall

teaches pre-modern Japanese texts at the University of London. The word doku can be used. uses as a verb, external to mean reading. And according to Professor, Professor Gerstle, the sun in Sundoku originates in Sumu, a word meaning to pile up. So put together, Sundoku has the meaning of buying reading material and piling up. It's an oldish word. First appears in text, what's believed to first appear in text in 1879. Okay.

But the article also says that even though it sounds like it's an insult, it's not, there's no stigma attached in Japan to have, to suffer from Sudoku. So that's what I'm looking for when I go to someone's house. Just a pile of books that I can rag on. You read those? Oh, I see. look like they don't look very doggie it mate what are you a loser

actually the pile of books I do have at home my sundoku at home is mostly self-help which is really quite sad so if people do come over they're the books that I see and then I've had to open my Kindle

at that points yeah no I look actually I'm quite interesting my pile of books I I put progressively and, you know, regularly into the little cupboard of the bedside table. So it's like a, so then more pile up. And then I have to take some of the ones from the shame pile and put them elsewhere in the house. And I mean, but it's not a bad system, is it?

It's like a, you know, like they go into purgatory. You know, it's like, well, you haven't, you haven't leapt into my hands yet. You can have a little stay here while I think about, no, that's it. You're done. Not one person has recommended you in the last six months. Yes. reminded me that I have you for example. Gosh, think of all the, think of the incredibly hard work every one of those authors did, like, and how precious. Think of the joy as they handed over

that manuscript. And then when they first, like, unwrapped the brown paper and they'd made a book, and it's just gone into Sammy Jay's bedside cupboard and then tossed aside. I mean, I'm sure they'd see that as an honour, you know, being tossed aside in Sammy Jay's bedroom. Ooh. Who are? What? Hang on. Hang on.

All right, to answer to question number two, which are these a real species of beetle? Little stinky, hogweed bonking beetle, blue-tipped poncy, architurial hairy beetle, spindly dork, or swollen nut beetle?

Okay, Lizzie. Oh, how good are funny combinations of words? No. I really, I really, I really want swollen nut to be real. How much do you want it to be real? This, like, this big. That's the visual.

I just put out my hands. That would quite be like a watermelon. Two hands, watermelon, swollen nut. So you think you're locking that one in? Yeah. Locking in the nut. Love it. What do you think, Sammy?

Look, I'm sort of, I'm playing the game here, but I feel like it's such a delicious answer that it's probably the reason for the question. So, yeah, I'm going swallin nuts. Swallow nut, a couple of swollen nuts. All right. A pair of nuts, yeah. Okay, for the sheer joy of it,

I know we have a hard out today. Please read them again. Just quickly. Little stinky, hogweed bonking beetle. Okay. Blue-tipped Ponzi. Okay. Architurial hairy beetle.

Spindly dork or swollen nut. Oh my goodness. They're so. Good. What was that? What's the third one? Blue-tip Ponzi. Yes, please.

Yes. All right. I think it's the dog. Oh, I don't know. No, Ponzi. Leave it as Ponzi. It's so exciting. I can put you out of your misery there.

Spindley Dork was the house. Oh, well done, the house, as always. Little Stinky. That was Nick, aka the house, question writers or the question writer. Architurial hairy beetle, that was Lizzie. How do I go with the pronunciation of that? Of my made-up word.

Great. Good pronunciation. Yeah, it's got the red line under it and I had a look and it wants to correct it to architectural. Yeah, that's what I tried to do to me. I'm like, no, no, no. I know what I'm doing. Then we had.

Claire's pick, Blue Tip Ponzi. That was Sammy. Two in a row. Hurray. Correspondence can be forward to me. I live in Claire's mind. Wow. Well, interestingly,

Swollen nut beetle is Claire, so you live in each other. I did it. I did it. It is a good name for a beetle, though, isn't it? Yeah, I can picture it. It looks a little bit like a, a, you know, like a big shiny hazelnut or something.

Oh, yeah. A beautiful beetle. Beautiful beetle. But that means this one is probably the least beautiful sounding one, but it's the correct one. Hogweed bonging beetle. That just sounded too much. Yeah, very made up sounding.

This is the one that wrote the nut. Yes. No, it's a swollen nut beetle. I can see it. Yeah, I can see it in my mind. Bonging beetle. Hogweed. Hogweed bonging beetle.

needle. Hogweed's like a sort of plant. Yeah, it is. Telling it something that you probably don't know there, Hogweed's like a type of plant. And what's bonking, Sam? That's right, yeah, Matt. It doesn't matter.

I can't remember anybody's name. Well, no, let's ask Sammy. What's bonking, Sammy knows everything? Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm always just carrying books around the house. I'm going to talk about it. So in the second. round, Claire gets two points, Sammy gets one.

So after two rounds, how still yet to score, Lizzie's on one, Sammy's on two, but out in front on three points, it's Claire Hooper. Hang on, oh yes, because of, okay. So they both picked yours. They both picked them up. Yeah. No, I was just shocked that Lizzie was, it doesn't matter. For the right one in the first, but trailing already, just two questions in.

The vibe I had was that Lizzie, you've got to point in that round. Yeah, there's a vibe. She didn't. But she did it. But she did it. It's because I look celebratory. There was. Well, I think the, the vibe is that just Lizzie is playing so great.

You wouldn't be surprised if she got a point for it. She's cool and calm. But then when you go back to the tape and you have a look, yeah, there was no point for Lizzie. That's the rest of the game. I'd rather have a winning vibe than actually win. I think you go back to the tape and. That's my life. And you realize.

Just winning vibes. Yeah. Just the vibes. No one even, I don't even think anyone discussed architurial hairy beetle. I know, it's disappointing, except you. Yeah, I loved it. Thank you. But I could see it.

I think a lot of the joy was seeing how you've spelt it. Fantastic. It's kind of a brand new word. Archie and ethereal. Oh, I really like it a lot. It's a beautiful. It's a beautiful beetle. All right, question three comes from a joff from Colac,

from LOL radio if you're... Oh, yeah. Oh, I think I've interviewed on LOL radio. Lovely man, Joff. Joph plays some of my songs from like 2006. Oh, good on you. I wish they didn't still exist, but bless him. Half them are going to be cancelled if he plays him too much.

Oh, yeah, right. Lovely gig in Colac. Cancel. Canceled in Colac. Could be a song. Like Jared Rebeck. So, Jof's question is, what is the punny name of a florian? business based in Newcastle upon

time. What is the punny name of a flooring business based in Newcastle Pontine? While you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more about hogweed bonking beetles. According to Nick Ragoncha

Fulver is the species of soldier beetle widely distributed across Europe. Also known, more boringly, as the common red soldier beetle In the UK, it's known as the hogweed bonging beetle. This name is pretty appropriate. They spend most of their brief adult life June to August, copulating on top of the flower heads of hogweeds.

Nick says, I don't know if bonging is commonly used in Australia, but in the UK, it's a tame but slightly rude slang word for sex. Cheers. Hey, cheers to you, Nick. Bonging. Bonging. It's a bonging beetle. It's a bonging beetle.

Oh, look at that, Beal, having a balk, having a bong on a hogweed. That's what it sounds like. Yeah, that's what it sounds like that, isn't it? You bloody balking beetle, aren't you? All right, the answer is. For question number three, which of these is a punny name of a flooring business based in Newcastle Pontine? Here are your options. The carpet shop boys?

Carpet shop boys. Newcastle upon shine, four to the floor, Lino Richie, floor and order, or time to get laid. It's your go, Sammy, first up. Can we have them once more? Sure, yeah.

Carpet shop boys, Newcastle upon shine, Four to the Floor, Lino Richie, floor and order, or time to get laid. I don't believe that time to get laid would have been written by any of us, given the bonging incident of the previous round, which makes me feel that it could sneak in, not on merit, but on probability. Okay. So I'm locking in that.

Locking it in. What do you think, Claire? Yeah, isn't it? It's a bit of a game of like, what's the obvious joke? What's the, what's the quickest one that would come to someone? Yeah, and what's the one that a, Because I, I'm tempted. Floor and order?

Yeah. Yeah, I shouldn't put a question mark. I should tell you, I don't, but I don't, I mean, I was very tempted by Lino Richie. That's pretty, it's pretty gorgeous. I'm going to go floor and order. I don't care anymore. What was some of the other ones? The carpet shop boys, Newcastle Pond Shine, a four to the floor,

Lano Richie, floor and order, time to get late. Oh, you said floor and order like it couldn't possibly be considered as an option, so that's a shame. Lizzie asked for the other one. Oh, sorry, yes, of course. I'll recap them, but. We're trying to game the game. I'm going to go with carpet shop boys.

Oh, good isn't there? Are the pet shop boys from Newark. Newcastle on time? I don't know, but they are English. That's my loose association. They'll form in London in 1981. There you go. Newcastle, so.

Although, yeah. It's my flawed theory. One of them was born in Northern Hills. Thank you, Glove. All right, this is who wrote the answers. Newcastle upon Shine, that was Sammy. Beautiful. Beautiful.

Should have gone my other one that sent you first. What was it? Do you have to tell me now? Swollen nut, but no. A man's floor is his Newcastle. That's great. Funny, but clearly not an actual shop. A tagline more.

Four to the floor. That was Lizzie Who. That was bad. Oh, that's good. I nearly wrote four to the floor. Wouldn't that have been fun? Floor and order. Claire went for that.

That was Joff. Okay, the house. Thank you, Joff. Thank you, Joff. I will pay that. Lizzie went for the carpet shop boys. That was the house. And when I wrote that, I don't think I said it out loud because it's harder to say.

Yeah, it doesn't sound as good. It looks like something. Sounded good enough for Lizzie. Yeah, I heard it loud and clear. The Carpet shop boys. Carpet shop boys. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's really good, actually.

I've come around on it. Time to get laid. Someone went for that. That is Claire. You double down. No, whatever. You know, do another base suggestion after the last round. And also the sick fuck mind would come up with someone.

And also, I think you've done a pun on the herb time. Yeah. There's a lot going on it, and I wasn't sure whether to explain that or not. No, thanks. Because I wrote it just normal time first, and then I just mucked around with it. Thank you for not, clarifying it. But yeah, I thought, geez, there's a lot going on here. Fantastic.

Yeah. But that does mean that Lino Richie is correct. God, darn it. Which to me is a wild pun, like quite an odd. Beautiful. What a weird. His peak was quite a while ago. But also, Lino is not enough.

market choice. Like, nobody's, nobody's, like, you'd call it, like, wouldn't you, wouldn't you call it like, like, false floorboards or something? Like, surely there's better names. Nobody wants lino. Corky pig. Too like. Yeah, so.

Darn it. I nearly chose the lineo. You were really close. Yeah. Thank you so much to Jop for picking the one up. I don't know how you stumbled upon it, but fantastic. That means the house is fun on the board with a couple of points there. Scores an hour, Lizzie on one, Sammy in the house on two apiece, but out in front on four points.

It's Claire Hooper. Wow. I mean... Wow, we. This cannot continue. I can't. I can't. Now, Sammy's going to be less about trying to trying for the right answer and more about

trying to identify which one's mind so that he does not choose it. Yeah. I don't know. I also wonder, is the humility running out because obviously... Yeah, it's probably time to put a few right ones in. Yeah. You're okay. I'll get this one out.

Oh, okay. And I'll trick you as well. Okay. This question comes from Brie from Harvey Bay in Queensland. Spelt Hervey, so I'm glad that Brie wrote, pronounced Harvey. I would have absolutely stuffed that up. I would have corrected you. Oh, thank you.

Is that near your hometown? Oh, it's in Queensland. It's whale, whale, whale, place. Whale place. Yep, they'll be coming through there right now. Whale place. A whale place. It's whale place.

All right, so, Bree's question is. Look at them bonging whales. What is the name of Pokemon number 915? Ooh. Basically just make up the name of the Pokemon. It's the name of Pokemon number 915. While you're writing your answers, here's a little more info about Lino Richie.

Corny Jophe, their slogan is, Hello, is it me, you're looking floor? Oh, well, that makes it better, doesn't it? While you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. Acast powers the world's best podcasts. Here's a show that we recommend. Hi, I'm Alan and I'm obese.

Can we have a show about being fat that isn't about all the things other fat and weight loss podcasts are about? to be a bearer. And he looked down at my stomach and goes, oh, man. I struggle with my weight in many different ways. Come and listen to me. Struggle with it alongside other fat people on the show tubby. You can find it wherever you find your tub, your tubcasts, your podcasts. Acast helps creators launch, grow, and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com. All right, we're back. Question number four.

What is the name of Pokemon number 915? Here are your options. Chickie Chan. Clump. Fuckaroo. Lechonk. Beaselby or coca dunt. Coker dunt.

Coco dunt. All right, Claire, what do you think? any of those jumping out. You were a Pokemon fan? Yeah. I played Pokemon Go for ages. It was really good when my, you know, when the babies were in the pram,

just wandered around the neighbourhood, catching Pokemon. Didn't care for the gyms. I don't want to stand near a place and see if I can see who I'm playing against, which 12-year-old boy has taken me on while I like jiggle Sylvia's pram to get her to sleep.

Yeah, it was a great time. Cal Wilson also was a massive Pokemon Go fan. Really? I reckon you're still still. see people clumping around, do you? Yeah. Oh, yeah, 100% is still going. It does, yeah, it was a really fun time.

Would you ever play with Cal like you'd go out to, you wouldn't go to the gym at all? No, no, no. And I think, like, it was like, it was more about the, like, collecting. I also liked hatching eggs. So if you found an egg at a pokey stop, then the egg could only be hatched by walking, like as in you had to, you had to, like, you had to, like, Some of them were two kilometre, some were five kilometres, some were 10 kilometres. So you put as many eggs into your stash as you could, and then you just take the pram out for a walk.

And then these things are like, your phone a buzz and something at a hatch. And you'd be like, oh, look what it is. It's a chunk, for example. That's pretty fun. Yeah, it was really fun. Apparently, that's what the guy came up with it. That was kind of his goal in the first place was to get kids out and about or get people out of it. It was really fun playing with the kids when they were little as well.

So it's like, it's like, I mean, it was. of a time but it was super fun and yet cal and i didn't play together but we did send each other presents like what one of the things you can find when you're around about is a present you can't open it but if you send it to someone else they can open it's a super fun game yeah it's good it's a bit of exercise bit of social elements bit of killing time because i might i might download is a drudgery i might finally get on it 10 years later have a little look uh so well but i didn't know any of those names if that was your quote no no no no anyway but it's moved on a lot since i mean i haven't played in five years so it's nine hundred and fifteen is wild that's a lot of

and some of the names are like oh yeah they're they're running thing well you'd run out of you're run out of syllables eventually don't you you're gonna have every combination i want that one that sounds like the c word at the end please coca dunt thank you okay locked in what do you think lizzie bizzleby i like that one locked in i really like coca Two coca dants. Are you allowed to vote for yourself? No, can't vote for yourself. I really like coconut.

Oh, clever. The only way you can make sure you don't think of this. Yeah, I understand what's happened there. That's very clever. Yeah. All right. So you're going with coconut. It's not very courageous though, Sammy.

Couldn't just take a bold guess and all right, okay. You're suggesting slightly cowardly. I think that's the cowardly way to make sure he doesn't choose my answer. I think a cowardly act would be to accuse a friend of being a coward on a podcast, unprovoked. That's how I feel. I think you just did that. One point each. Yeah, by pointing out that I was a coward, you accused me of being a coward.

My God. Wow, this has got real ten. This has got really ten. It's like a whole of mirror time out. If the listeners could see their faces, they are both furious. Yeah. It's kind of awkward. It is really awkward.

Lizzie, do you... Let's just get on with us. We've got a hard out, guys. All right, here's who wrote the answers. Chick-a-chan. That was Lizzie. Very good. Real fun.

Clump. That was the house. Oh, very good. Fuckeroo. That was Sammy. Beaselby. Lizzie went for that. That was Claire.

Oh. That wasn't even Claire's good one. Yeah. Imagine if you'd done the good one. I would have gone for it. What was it? Can you reveal what the problem? I thought, wouldn't it be fun?

Because why is it being sent in? I thought, whatever it was called the Hinoobie. Oh, that's, that's nice. Nubi. Because that's why I'd be fished out and sent to you as a question. I don't think I would have chosen that. What's that? I don't think I would have chosen that.

No. This will be it better. Thank you. Thank you so much. And Coker Dant. Yeah. That was Brie, the house. Well done, Brie.

The correct answer is Lechonk. La Chonky. When you said chunk before, I'm like, oh, if I said, I'll give it away. Lechonk. That's cute. Yeah, it's a chunky little guy, little thick. Apparently, Lechonk, they think it might be a combination of the Spanish for suckling piglet, mixed in with oink and maybe chonk, like all just sort of mush.

in together and it's a little piggy. I think when you're naming a thousand Pokemon, you don't think about it that much. You don't go to the Spanish Dictionary, you don't think? Maybe. I too avoided, not sort of like actively avoided, just never got into Pokemon at all or Pokemon Go, but hearing your summary,

yeah, I felt you should have been employed by Pokemon to publicise it to people who would think that it's not their thing. Yeah. Yeah, I really, I don't think I, I don't think I ever knew what it was. Yeah. Yeah, and it's, I mean, it's really silly, but, but that's, but fun is silly. Most fun things are silly. Totally.

Yeah, so. How about that? All right. Claire again, another point for Claire that round, but two points to the house. Oh, no. Thanks to coca dunt. How's it going then? Well, Lizzie's on one, Sammy's on two.

The house is on four, but still just in front on five. That's, this is astonishing, isn't it? I mean, Claire has been hosting a game show all year. I mean, I think that needs to be pointed out as well. I hosted a game show for 11 days. And I'm still eating out on it. All year. Two questions to go.

This one comes from Erica Parody from Ottawa in Canada. And the question is, what headline from Florida was featured on August the 21st, 2019? Headline. Headlines. Like in the news. Newspaper. Well, an online headline. From Florida.

Florida. And, you know, Florida's famous for wacky. What time? August 2019. August? And while you're writing those answers, here's some more info about Lechonk, like I was saying. According to Brie, Lechonk may be a combination of Lechon, something like that.

Lechon, Spanish for suckling piglet, oink, the onomatopoeic sound for the sound that pigs make, and possibly chonk, slang term for a fat or large animal. Lechonk is a stout Pokemon resembling a hog. Lechonk has an excellent sense of smell, which it uses to find fragrant wild grasses and rich berries to eat. As seen in the Pokemon Horizons, the series episode, Welcome to Paldia. Lechonk will become hostile towards trainers carrying groceries or meals

and attack them for their food. All right, the answer is in here is question number five. What headline from Florida was featured on the 21st of August 2019? see you later alligator mayor resigns after eight years option two florida man arrested after botching in-home castration surgery option three alligator crashes bachelor party at orlando strip club option four vet operating on sick dog finds smaller dog living inside option five man's attempt to eat alligator ends in death or finally

gator gets taters it's a lot of gator a lot of gator is big on the it's bitter it's gator country was there one that wasn't gaiters there were two those botched in-home castration and then the dog inside a dog

and then the rest yeah four gators uh lizzie what do you think you're going to go gator or are you going to go otherwise is it Too obvious, but then it's obvious. I'm just going to go Gator gets taters. Gator gets taters.

You can do American as well? Oh my God, I haven't done it yet. I mean, Gator gets taters. I try to meet from Florida. Gator gets taters. I used to watch a lot of, oh, this show, maybe in the mid-200. where he would, what was his name? He would go, put his hand in ponds

and bring out snapping turtles. Really? I don't know. I've got to find this. Insiders? Not the crocodile hunter. Yeah, insiders at Barry Cassidy. They do, yeah, one of the wacky segments at the end.

So, Lizzie's going to go against taters. What do you think, Sammy? I think this is really satisfying and unsatisfying, but all of them sound like they probably have happened. Yeah, that's the thing. We need to prove that they haven't happened, but specifically on that date. Okay, alligator and a strip club.

Alligator and a strip club. Yeah, that does sound good. What did you find the? Turtle man. Turtle man. Wow. It doesn't sound as good as good. Did it come before or after crocodile hunter?

Turtle man. Turtle man walks. Oh, wow. He would find snapping turtles in ponds and that were causing havoc. Turtle Man And he would Often call his name Turtle Man

Look, it was a time In my life Pre-comedy Yeah, isn't it funny When you think about How many good shows They're out of watch You know, you take another recommendation

You're like, I'll never get to this My life is too busy To get through all the good stuff And then you think back To the absolute trash You watch 20 years ago And you're like If I could have that time back

To finally watch So much You know, like Marcella or whatever was on as well. Yeah, just whatever's on. I've watched like Beauty and the Beast this chat show. Yeah, right. In the middle of the day. Like I was looking at as a teenager.

I just want those minutes back to get through Unforgotten, you know, the UK crime series. You know what I mean? I got some things to watch. I kind of miss it though, the simplicity. Oh, you just fed something. Yeah, I mean like, I guess I'm watching this. Turtle man. I was a home and away neighbor's boy for like.

Oh, no. Not just the full hour. You go through from 630 to 730 just crack through every storyline, every subplot. Wow. I watched a lot of neighbors. You did. I haven't watched. We were only going to watch one.

We had to pick. Oh, Home and Away or Neighbors. I would have chosen Neighbors. We went Neighbors for some reason. Neighbys Simpsons. Then you missed out on the Channel 10 run. Yeah. Neighbethers looked like Melbourne, didn't it?

You know, home and away looked like Sydney. Yeah, but it. I mean, if you're going to watch something for an escape, surely you'd watch one with the beach. You want it to look like around the corner. I'm going to pick, and just everybody, I'm going to pick the castration. Okay. Went away from the gator. Well, I mean, maybe an alligator was involved, and that's just not in the headline.

Yeah, it's so just normal there that people assume. Yeah, yeah. Obviously, we don't have to mention that. All right, here's the right the answers. Vet operating on sick dog, find smaller dog living inside. That was the house. That was great. It was great.

Man's attempt to eat alligator ends in death. That was Sammy Jay. It's great. It's too tame, wasn't it? It's the most standard thing to have happened in all these headlines. See you later, alligator. Mayor resigns after eight years. That was Lizzie Who.

Oh, gosh. Not very good. No, it was very good. When I heard it, I went, that's a strong contender. But then all the others were too. Thank you. Can you say it in your American accent, Lizzie? See you later.

Alligator. Marizans, after eight years. After. After. After. After eight years. American was telling me that when I tried to do an American accent, they're like, you're putting an R sound in everything.

You know, because they pronounce ours that we don't. Yes. But I add in ours elsewhere. Like you did the ar after. After. After. Arfd, I don't know. Sounds like a dog inside a dog talking.

Arf car. Gator gets taters. Lizzie went for that. That was Claire. I'm sorry. She's got me. You've switched it over there. That's two in a row.

Lizzie's gone for Claire. I'm so sorry. Ninja precision. She's very good. The strip club one. That was Erica, the questioner. It's a good one. This means Claire is correct.

It is the botched in-home castration. Oh my gosh. And I think that's my first correct answer. It could, yeah. All I've done so far is... Miss without mind. He's fooled. His bamboozle the others.

But I've not actually got something right before I got it right. Well done. Claire gets it right. So, yes. Lizzie, should we team up? Yeah, let's team up. For safety? Yeah.

So two points for Claire, one for the house there. But their thing is Sammy. you don't realize this, but the final round is worth triple points. I hate the final round. Everyone for themselves. No team. I don't think I'm really in contention. You are, because you can score up to night.

If they both guess yours and you get the right one, you can score nine points. You can really swoop it. All right. So we always finish with a movie synopsis, Sammy. So this will be your longest answer. Yeah, I feel like this will play to your strengths. I've written lots of movies. So you want to write a paragraph

And the question comes from Jim Bates From Sackett's Harbour in New York The question is What is the plot of the film Blood Car? Blood Car Blood Car What is the plot of the film? Synopsis of the film Blood Car

And while your answers are being written Here's that article It's on the website K4 And it writes Highlands County, Florida Florida deputies have arrested a man for attempting to perform a castration inside his Highlands County Home, WFTS reports. Deputies were called to 74-year-old Gary Van Rizwick's home, located on Orde Road in Subring on Sunday, August 18th. Why would they give so much detail about where he was?

When they arrived, Rizwick told a deputy he had just performed a castration on a man and encountered major issues. deputies found a victim on the bed bleeding heavily with a towel over his groin. The victim was flown to a nearby hospital and is said to be stable. During their investigation, deputies found two body parts in a pink container presumed to have belonged to the victim. Rizwick had set up a room to look like a surgical centre and had medical equipment and painkillers inside according to a release. The camera was also set up to record a procedure.

Van Rizwick told deputies he had met the victim on the dark web on a site geared towards people who have a castration fetish. In addition, Rizwick told deputies he had tried to perform the procedure on the victim last week but had to delay. According to a release, Rizwick told the victim that he had experience on animals and had even removed one of his own testicles in 2012. He also said he had done a similar procedure on a man in a local motel a few years ago. It also did not end well, according to the Highland.

Collins County Sheriff's Office. Rizwick was arrested on Monday and charged with practicing medicine without a license, resulting in bodily injury, a second degree felony. His bond was set at $250,000. All right, the answer is in for the final question. What is the plot of the film Bloodcar? Here are your options. Aspiring filmmaker Bambi Steele abandons her debut movie when she spends all her money. on a vintage muscle car instead. Desperate to keep the vehicle, she turns to her brother and eventually dives into voodoo rituals to bring the car to life. As obsessions, sacrifice and dark magic collide, Bambi spirals into a deadly quest to realize her twisted vision. That's option one. It's really good.

Option two. Brooklyn, 1995. When a destitute cab driver hits and kills a notorious underworld figure, he is blackmailed into taking out the enemies of a rival gang. But as the body count piles up, he must choose between the respect of the underworld and the safety of his family. Option three, deep in the Congo,

a US missionary Frank Chowder, is kidnapped and found in his car nine months later, still alive. During this time, his life has completely changed in his hometown of Boise, Idaho. His wife has a baby and files for divorce, remarry's after she is told he is dead. Frank makes the decision to go home and confront his wife

because he believes she is behind the Congo kidnapping. Frank has friends in high places that come to his rescue. That's option three, option four. Two spoilers in that one. Option four, a young loner buys his first car, a 67 Mustang in the parking lot of a downtown New Orleans bar with plans to drive across America and reunite with his ailing mother in Los Angeles. As he puts miles between himself and the town he wants to leave behind,

the car gets harder and harder to control and at times appears to have a murderous will. But is the car trying to kill, or is he? Oh, wow, this is like an evil chitty-chitty bag thing. Option five, in the near future, gas prices have gotten so high that automobiles are out of reach for all but the very rich. Then mild-mannered teacher Archie accidentally discovers a gasoline alternative powered by blood. He soon gives up his vegan lifestyle in the search for more and more fuel to keep his car running. Great.

Fuels in inverted commerce. Well, finally, in a dilapidated... Gosh, I hope it's this one because it hasn't been any of the others. In a dilapidated cyberpunk city plagued by crime and corruption, An unscrupulous district attorney is savagely murdered and tossed out of the building onto his brand new car. Mysteriously, the district attorney and his car come back to life as a single being with a thirst for vengeance. The eerie driverless car embarks on a vicious rampage, exacting revenge on the criminals who murdered him. Sammy, what do you think?

Oh, boy. Vegan blood car. Vegan blood car. Locked in. No question. Okay. I'm thinking, I'm thinking Brooklyn. Brooklyn.

Is that the taxi driver? What was it? Was that the taxi driver? The destitute cab driver hits and kills. Yeah. You on that one, Lizzie? Underworld one. Blocked in.

That's what I was going to go to. So shall I, for the interest of the game, vary it up? Or shall I go without our one? Because Bambi and the voodoo. I'm going to go with the cab driver, but that voodoo. storyline was very compelling. Okay. All right.

Here's who wrote the answers. Oh, no. The dilapidated cyberpunk city where the district attorney somehow merges with his car. Yeah. That was written by Jim, the question writer, aka the house. Nice one, Jim. Jim also wrote the one about the voodoo rituals, bringing the car back to life.

Very good. Some fine work from Jim. The one that Claire thought had a lot of spoilers about the Congo. That was Lizzie too. Just gripping my answers to shreds. Some kind of script writer you are. Oh, God. Too good a scriptwriter.

Too much story. The one with the 67 Mustang and the, a journey across the country with the great final line, but is the car trying to kill, or is he? That was Claire Hooper. Didn't catch a fish this time, but that's okay. I really enjoyed writing it, though. Yeah, I think it's fantastic.

Sounds great. Brooklyn, 1995. Oh, no. Here we go. Here we go. Lizzie, sorry, who went for that? Lizzie and Claire. Yeah.

And Sammy wrote it. Oh, God, damn it. Oh, my God. And that means Sammy also got the correct answer. The vegan. Oh, my God. He's done it. He knows every day. He does know everything. You've done the rare, the very rare, clean sweep and triple points.

He doesn't even look happy about it. I'm unsurprised. I said I would and I did. I didn't mean to ruin the ending at the start. Yeah. Like Lizzie who are writing a synopsis. Brutal stuff. It's a really good one. It was a really good. You'd watch it though, wouldn't you? Congo. I'd watch the Congo. Oh my God. Boise, Idaho. There's so much going on. Boys are. Who's coming up with Boise, Idaho? That's what I would have been thinking.

Yeah, exactly. Details. Details. Uh, Hollywood. That's who would have come up with it. It's got mixed reviews. I'll be honest, this movie. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes. What? Surprisingly given it a 60% approval rating. The audience doesn't like it as much 50%. Uh, Anton Bightel liked it writing. This is an exploit. This is the next, fucking. Anton Bittell liked it writing. This is an exploitation movie about exploitation, and it's disarming goofiness and transgressive vulgarity

eventually give way to images that are shockingly serious, if still played, for uncomfortable laughs. But there's a too sir of you in the London Evening Standard that doesn't like it, but it reads, OK, if you like this sort of thing. So dismissive. All right, final scorch. Check, after six rounds.

Lizzie, after one round, was on the same score. One point. My fingers are up again. It's certainly not the lowest score I've had. There's been plenty of noughts. It's elegant. In third place on five points, it's the house. Well done.

In second place on seven points, scoring in every round. But the last, it's Claire Hooper, meaning jumping. to the lead with nine of his 11 points in the final round at Sammy Jay. Wow. What a joy.

Well played. And it is interesting. Claire said before the round I hate the triple points round. Yeah, I do hate the triple points round. And I imagine more now than ever. Yeah.

Yeah. No, I couldn't have hated it more. So. Remains at the maximum. Yeah, it remains max. Maxed out hate. All right. Well, that brings us to the end of the episode.

Where can people find you, Claire? I don't know. Don't know. You're not doing fringe? No. No. They can find my fingerprints all over the Birken Wales musical fiasco. How about you, Lizzie?

Just socials, you know. And then I've got a show on Bendigo and Brisbane coming up. Awesome. I think that all happen after this comes out. Yeah, I think I'm me and Serena doing a switch show in Bendigo at that festival as well. Oh, cool. A bit of fun. Oh, that's what it's called.

I don't know. Oh, I was going to call my show a bit of fun. But I've actually had a new and exciting idea that I'll not talk about now. We haven't. I don't think that's what we've called. I just say that too much, I think. I say it all the time, which is why I think it probably should just be the title of my show.

Yeah, yeah. A bit of fun. A bit of fun. Sounds good fun. And Sammy, you're back on the stage. You've had a couple years off with radio? Well, I was still on stage, but I was just a sort of tired wreck of a man. Not on the festival stages?

Yeah, a little bit, a little bit, sort of dabbling. I was terrified of just disappearing entirely. But now I'm working on my second new show of the year, so I'm trying to make up time. I'm writing a musical. I've written a musical, in fact, starts very soon at the Melbourne French Festival. So exciting.

And it's about one of my favourite Australian stories. Yeah, Birkenwell's. It's called Fiasco. I've been like just a Burke and Will's nerd for ages. Yeah, I just love it. I think I did a project on them. Yeah. But I grew up at my point.

I feel like lucky and mortified that I, I'm part of the generation who, you know, in the 90s genuinely still got the hero stories in Australia before, like, people started to go, we should look back at how we're telling these stories. So it's sort of being able to see not both sides of the story, but both sides of the way we're learning about our history. And so this is my very humble attempt to correct the record mildly in terms of their experience. The whole show is a band, there's five of us set at Cooper Creek in the days before they die. and they're trying to sing their story. Oh, cool. And it's been really fun.

I'm, like, deep into it. I've been having yarns with the Andro Wanda Mob, who are the guys who looked after them up there and Isaac Compton's in the show who's incredible and we're having a lot of fun. Oh, he's great. He's so good. Yeah, so, you know, it'll be something.

Very exciting. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. Sammy, one-time player, one-time winner. Never play again. Cheers for tuning in, everyone, to Who New with Matt's children. Now that you know it,

I've been Matt's show it. Goodbye. Have a look at this bloody bogg about this people having a balk, isn't it? Can you do any other accents in the Northern? Like, can you do Northern? Northern. Northern. Could you, yeah, do your good.

Right, I don't know. It's a bonk in beetle. That was bad. I got to get it. Yeah, what, could you do the Newcastle? I don't know. Oh, yeah. Liverpool.

You got to think Luke Benson. Bonken Basel. Bonkers Basel. Why don't you go out of Bonken and Beatle? Oh, that's not bad. Is that Liverpool or Manchester? Liverpool. Journal, Liverpool.

Liverpool. How are you? Bunkin Bachel. This is so offensive. I don't want to ruin the purity of the... Yes. I just want 20 more minutes of English accent saying Bonting Bentle. Mostly at home, so I do.

It's boncun people. What are you going to do today, Lizzie? Well. Go to check out the boncute people. Right. I haven't written an aunt to yet because I've been distracted. I'm sorry. Okay.

I could probably get some complaints about these accents. Yeah. I really sorry. I mean, it's funny because, yeah, two people from whatever place that was, Liverpool, they would find it rough. But to me, that seems spot on. Pretty good. Pretty good.

Genuinely, like, in my mind, I've been thinking, have you done classes? Is that your back? No, this is just an insight into our family dinner time. We all go into, so if we want to say anything confrontational, we do it in an accent. That's so funny. What the fuck are you doing? You're being an absolute c***. But it's like kind of nice.

It really softens it. Yeah, really. So, I don't know if that accent, that one in particular, I don't know if it actually does soften it. That sounds even, somehow even more aggressive. Okay. But Cheryl Cole. I have a fool.

What were you going to say? I was going to say something, but I don't, it'll lead to a request for expression, which I don't think I want to do, but I have a flamboyant American solicitor who I use to interrogate my wife when I need to, if something's been done. Yes, this is good. That it's going to cause an argument. Yeah, I want to hear it. Does he sound like that rooster?

I sort of like, um, you entered the kitchen. Yeah, you live. Like, it's, some would say it's dominant and coercive, but, but, you know, she has her own solicitor and so we can argue in a sort of you know 1980s american sitcom characters and you can get you can get shit done it's so it's nice to know you've found the right person for you isn't it yeah we met at a debating conference it's a good dog name yeah it looks like it does look like a pig pig dog oh maybe just a pig it is very it's a you know it's just it's just Oh, I do chunky, boy.

Yeah, that's cute. Le chonk. Le chonk. Le chonk. This is an English person doing French accent. Yeah. Le chonk. Check out the le chonko, boy, are you.

Yeah. That was good. We have a little. each other. Yeah. Do I still have winning vibes? Oh, yeah. The next show, isn't it?

Who's the winner? Who's still winning? For listeners, Lizzie just did three sort of index finger points in the air. It's hard to... Ew! That was it the same finger pointing, but with a you. And I counted five wiggles, not three. Gator gets tater. Now I feel like potatoes.

Petitoos. Now we can do Irish as well. Oh, that's Irish. I thought it was... Did you know that, Matt? I don't know if you did. I haven't done it yet. I did not know that. That's a tough one, Irish. Your Irish accent, that's the one we mostly use around the dinner table because that's what we talk like. Could you pass me that, Corey? Thank you.

I want to come around for dinner. It's very funny. My niece and nephews, they made us play this game called Secret Hitler. Have you heard of it? You've heard of it. Oh my God. It's quite good. It's so tense. right okay yeah all right but you've got to do that one in a german accent it's just true it's in the rules

secret hitler you can play it online but they've bought the um have you played the physical version yeah yeah that's apparently better the online one was a bit hard to gauge Cool. That sounds amazing. Yeah, because I, I think we're probably went to school almost exactly the same time. And, yeah, I was fully an adult before I realized they were hopeless. Yeah. And I think that they told it like, yeah, amazing explorers.

They went where no one had been before. A few people had been there before. A couple. Maybe for a few tens of thousands of years. One of my favorite things, and so many, I'm realizing now we sort of have heard of them or know about them our age, but like so many people just don't care, don't know. Like I say it, like it's assumed knowledge. So Burke and Wells, too, you know, like Australia didn't exist in 1860.

You say they're Australian, but Burke was born in Ireland. Wills was born in England. They attempted to walk from Melbourne, like literally where the zoo is rural park, to the top of Australia and back. They got three quarters of the way because they died on the way back. but it's just there are so many beautiful elements of just complete shit fuckery in what they did part of my problem has been i've delved so much into it that i sort of see them as humans because i've read i've read like will's letters to his mum and like learned all about his childhood so it's not just like they're complete idiots it's in the context of the time they were

completed it's still but like they sort of it was a race between the south australia they had reasons to want to try and go quickly and to make all the stupid decisions but But they were stupid. Like traveling with a gong. Traveling with a Chinese gong in a bathtub, for example. And some ridiculous amount of boots from memory. Boots, rum. They bought rum for the camels to help the camels avoid scurvy.

Again, that's like a punched line. But also, in the context, I've never looked up to camels. Maybe that's the thing you'd do. But maybe don't bring the camels in the first place because you're going to be quick. All this kind of stuff. But, no, it's been really fun. And Wes Snelling's directing. So it's been amazing.

And, yeah. Come, check it out. Well, it sounds amazing. I mean, you've got a winning vibe, you know. Yeah, I'm all about the vibes. I'm sensing a good vibe from this show. It's released a bit of pressure for me because I've always thought,

one day I'll do a Birkenwell show, and this has taken a real weight off my shoulders. I was in the car of the listies and Rich a couple of years ago, and we both at the same times revealed we were going to do with Birkenwood, and we had like this tense sort of standoff. We were like horse trading,

like which bits of the story we might tell. And then we both gave up on the idea because it was too, like, troublesome and problematic at the same time. And then it was like open in the air for a while. And then I said, I'm going to go back to when they said, yeah, that's cool. But, yeah, I think everyone, I love Bergen-Wills. It's such a, well, just it's so ridiculous.

What were some of the other guys that we would have learned about? John McDowell Stewart. Was there a pal? He's been working on a song about him last night. Oh, sick. That's so good. Pal, was there a pal? Is a howl it? Am I making that up?

Power, on the way, just... An explorer. Yeah, power rings a bell. P-O-W. Birk carried a list of like mates' names in his pocket when I love, and some of them were explorers as well. Just to name stuff as he went. He literally had a handwritten list of people to name stuff.

And so so many of these rivers are just like all the Explorers Club that is like named after this little cool. He did the telegraph line, is that? Well, they were trying to create a telegraph line. Yeah. So that was part of the sort of economic incentive. Like if we can get a line from Melbourne to the Gulf, then we'll be connected to the world. I can't wait to see this.

I'll do your half-time. And listeners of this show, a lot of them listen to Do Go On as well, which I 10 years back told this story. Oh, okay. Yeah, so they'll be, and like the joke that we found so funny was that they kept splitting the party. and every time they did it, it was the wrong call to make. They got smaller and smaller. Yeah, never split the party. That was our big takeaway from it all.

Just, yeah, such a great story. Oh, I'm so glad that that sounds so perfect. I should also mention that a certain Claire Hooper has been incredible in assisting with the costumes. This one, wow. And they look fantastic. What? You don't know that. The show opens very soon.

Yeah, they look fantastic. Wow. No, I think I've done a really good job, actually. I think you have, too. I've done a beautiful job. I just had a peek at them. They look magnificent. When's this happening?

We open on October the 8th at the Melbourne Fringe Festival. How many nights? Ten shows. Amazing. Sorry to everyone listening from around the world, but you can still make it if you book a flight quickly. Come on. Yeah, this isn't on. Matt will pay for it.

Yeah. You just send me the bill. No, no, just send you the flight you want and Matt will book it for you. Don't put the mental load on them, man. No, that's fair. Sorry, that wasn't, sorry, that was unfair of me. That was my. Snap the bird, Chris one.

Well, wet, actually. Lizzie just been waiting for a break for 28 minutes. It was it? No. That was this. Heavor vibes. That was such a love, I love a defensive. No, it was the chair.

It was my phone. No, but for the listeners, it certainly was. Yeah. Definitely. It was my phone thing. You've got your phone ready to go. I'm like Sammy's phone thing. Oh, yeah.
