Starting point is 00:00:00 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 the two in the think tank podcast. It's Andy Matthews. Hello there. Hello there. And hello here. So good to have you on the show, Andy.
Starting point is 00:00:24 It's rare that you're available. No, it's just rare that you. ask me. I'm always available. I'm always waiting there. Well, I don't, that's not really, this is a, we nearly always record this in the daytime. This is a special night sitting of the, of the pod for you. For my benefit. Exactly. A night sitting. A night sitting. Night pod. That's right. This is after dark. Who knew it after dark. So, yeah, that'll give the listeners a bit of warning as to when things get a little saucy as the show goes on. Our second guest is host of the do-go-on-a-book cheat podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:00 It's Dave Warnocky. Hello there. It's so good to have you back, Dave. Always available. That is also not true. That is pretty true. I've asked all three of you guests multiple times where you've not been available,
Starting point is 00:01:12 but that's all right. I won't air at Dirty Laundry here. I think you are still the most appearing guest. Yeah, I come back because I think it's been a while. Someone might be overtaking me. Yeah, you're technically the carryover champ still. That's right. but why didn't it long time?
Starting point is 00:01:29 And our third guest this week is a comedian, writer and rat enthusiast. It's a 2002 raw comedy national finalist, Gnit Kour. Hi, hello, hello there, hello there to you. It's so good to have you in, all the way down from Sydney. Yeah, yeah, made the trip. And you're here, what are you gigging? Yeah, yeah. So good.
Starting point is 00:01:46 And we, I mean, we talked about the live episode. I don't know if it'll ever get released, the live Sydney episode, but big rathead, aren't it? Yeah, I do like rats. Yeah. Rodents, all kinds. Do you have your own rats? I used to. Their lifespans are very short.
Starting point is 00:02:02 How short? Like two to three years, on average. Yeah, that's just your ones? Or what were you doing? All rats. Oh, you know, you check them around, throw them on the walls, and then just die some for some reason. No, no.
Starting point is 00:02:14 All, like, pet rats are about two to three years. The pet rats are called fancy rats. That's a fun rat, back for you. Is that true? Yeah, yeah. That's what the breed is called. They're called fancy rats. That's maybe my face.
Starting point is 00:02:26 favorite fact of it. Yeah, what makes a rat fancy? I don't, I think they're just, does it have extra features? I don't know, I think they're just, that's what they call the domesticated ones. It's just a knot in a drain. Yeah. Fancy pants. Yeah, I guess they're being fed by humans.
Starting point is 00:02:42 That is pretty fancy. Look at his lordship over there. I never feel fancy when a human is feeding me. So, makes some sense. All right, so the way the show works is ask a relatively obscure trivia question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. read their fake answers as well as a real one, and they have to guess which one is correct. And the first question comes from listener Jane Piper from Hamilton Hill in W.A.,
Starting point is 00:03:06 which is either Washington or Western Australia, or something else entirely, I guess. There's probably heaps of options. Anyhow. Do we get to come up with one? Yes. What does WA stand for? Jane's question is, what does Fleeton mean? What does Fleeton mean?
Starting point is 00:03:25 F-L-E-E-T-E-N, Fleeton, Fleet-N. And while they're writing their answers, this is how the scoring works. 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. By the way, I'm also playing as the house. And, yeah, I've put it into my own fake answers
Starting point is 00:03:45 for each question with the help of the question writers and, yeah, we as of the house, get a point for each one of those that our guests choose as well. So each of us can score up to three points per round, which seems fair, but the probability actually, faves me, the house. And, yeah, House always wins, though. If you've listened to previous episodes,
Starting point is 00:04:00 you'll know that is rarely the case. And to even things out, especially the guests, you get triple points in the final round. So, you know, pretty exciting. Pretty exciting. I mean, if you weren't going to stick around to the end, then I think really that should probably get you over the line. Anyway, most of our questions come around.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Great Patreon supporters. If you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com. slash dogo on pod linked in the show notes uh dogo on pod is the network i have with dave warnerkee that's right get on there we've got bonus episodes for you that's right a bunch of who knew it's on there yeah that's how it started the whole show and yeah that's how people can send in their questions and now on the dugo on a youtube channel some of these episodes will be out there live assuming there's no technical issue someone might be watching this right now oh my god i got away oh wow hello
Starting point is 00:04:54 Uh, all right. Sounds like either Andy's working on his tax return or he's still... I'm now got to shorten this down because it's so conspicuously long. Note to self, don't pick the long one. We find out of the wee fire and house, I'm so clear. Fuck. Fuck. Yeah, you...
Starting point is 00:05:14 I panicked, I just sent it. Well, that's all right. No, it won't see it, because there are, I mean, the real ones also really long, potentially. Potentially. That's true. Yeah, yeah. Are there a couple of fakeies too? Well, there better be at least one long, at least two long.
Starting point is 00:05:29 And also, well, the other thing is you're going to be like, oh, I thought mom was long, but there's nothing better that. The real answer. Does the right answer also have like just bizarre sentence structure? It could do. Let's fine. Now I can't give too much away. Is it motionally incomprehensible and stinks of panic?
Starting point is 00:05:49 Like, is the stench of panic just coming off it like a haze? I don't want to give too much away, but it is, yeah, there is a certain pong to it. Okay. All right, the answers are in for question number one. What does Fleeton mean? A type of fabric made from tightly woven human hair. It's option one, option two. A word describing an extremely hot spondicle, which has been left too long in a campfire.
Starting point is 00:06:16 A spondicle. Question two. Yeah. What is this spondicle? I like the, idea of a fake definition also having fake words in it. I mean, it's got a ring of authenticity. Can I ask, have they written it wrong or have you just read it wrong?
Starting point is 00:06:35 Because it's spondonical is the actual word for the implement used to pick up a camp pot. And what did I say? Spondicle. Yeah, I've missed the on there. Ah. Let me try it again. Okay. Of course, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Oh, it's a campfire word that's obscure. Andy knows it. It's strange. There's bloody waltzing Matilda over here. A word describing an extremely hot spondonical. Yeah, that's true. That does sound less ridiculous, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah, now we get to it.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Which has been left too long on a campfire. Having the colour of skim milk. That's option three. She's looking a little fleeting there. Everything all right? That's a specific shade of the milk spectrum, isn't it? It's not appetising. I would say you've got a hint of.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Really? A little bit grey. That's not a compliment either, I don't think. I feel like it's the same colour as full cream, isn't it? Just like more opaque slightly? Less opaque. Oh, yeah, that's what I meant. I'm going to stop correcting people in peace.
Starting point is 00:07:41 I don't like it. There used to be a milk, I reckon that was a little bit blue, like physical or one of those specific skim milk ones. Blue heaven? Blue heaven. I was thinking of Blue heaven, DM. Had it on my breakfast. Just every morning until I was 15. Does everyone, everyone do that?
Starting point is 00:07:57 And then the doctor made me, took me away from my parents. I'm, Brooke isn't the same color anymore. I thought it was, yeah, it was a weird sort of skim diet, you know. Doctors can do that, right? They can take you away from your parents. Yeah, they can. I think if they say it, you know, firmly enough, I'll do whatever they say. Then you've got adjective describing someone who leaves social situations quickly.
Starting point is 00:08:19 You got having been fooled by a drug addict. Or finally, a term. In the term in the meat processing industry, Fleeton refers to products that are made from the fleets, short for fleeting meats, scraps that have gone flying during the chainsawing of a carcass and been scraped off the walls. I love it.
Starting point is 00:08:38 It's quite long. It didn't seem long to me. I mean, I was transported. It was just a blink of an eye. Yeah, well, I alluded to it before, but the longest one could be the real answer. What do you think, Annette? I think it's the last one for whatever really.
Starting point is 00:08:54 The meat one? Yeah, that's calling me. Okay, I like that a lot. Yeah. Tell me to worry about, it's fleet and meat. Fleet and meat. That refers to products that are made from the fleets, which is short for fleeing meats.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Okay, if you're not fleeing, if it's fleeing. Sorry, I've got it. Don't really came in a minute ago. I'm going to help me eat out here by asking a question. Anyone ever tell you that you're a... I'm so sorry. Honestly, it's inspired stuff. Fliten meats.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Fliting meats. Fleeting meats, flea. It is inspired. Yeah. So you want to change your answer? I would like to change my answer. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:37 So you got fabric made from human hair, the hot spondonical, or a word to describe a hot spondonical, which is very specific word. Having the color of skin milk, someone who leaves social situations quickly or having been fooled by a drug addict We'll go a spondonical
Starting point is 00:09:56 Spondonical, fantastic It can only be The person who leaves situations quickly Or having been fooled by a drug addict But I don't see how you would use that in a sentence I was fleeting Yeah Oh I tried to
Starting point is 00:10:16 A drug addict um offered me a what looked like a normal boiled egg but it turned out that he'd eaten the whole egg and just turned it upside down in the egg cup uh was tricking me yeah and i was fleeting i was fleeting by the drug addict again yeah damn it no it's got to be leaving a social situation why do you rule out all the other ones because that'll help me too i don't like to reveal my process but they just oh they all sound too ridiculous or or or not ridiculous enough, you know, there was just something off about them. Oh, I can like
Starting point is 00:10:53 off skim milk. What do you think, Dave? Color of skim milk. Fleeton. Hmm. I'm tormenting that and fleeing. Fleeting a situation.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Fleeting, like leaving the social situation early. Fleeting. That one almost feels too sort of real. I'm saying that, having chosen it too real in terms of like someone submitting this to matt yeah like the logic is too clear well i feel like we've ruled up insufficiently opaque would be another way to put it okay we back to the skim milk yeah we are yeah give me skim milk skim milk for dave all right skim him up here's who wrote the answers uh that really long one about meat was andy
Starting point is 00:11:43 yeah okay i can't believe you all most jokes it Even after David basically said, well, that's Andy's. Sorry. Angel, I think you kind of gave it away as well. It felt very, it was hard to get through listening to it for you. I'm a vegetarian. I don't know about me. To me, it seemed plausible until the meat was running.
Starting point is 00:12:07 I really did feel it felt like you bamboos were going to eat there. Yeah. Almost. But it was like Dave sort of clicked his fingers and getting paid back. out of the days. The fabric made from tightly woven human hair, which I thought was very believable. That was Dave Warnocky.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Yes. You know, they could go back to a time where that was the thing. Yeah. But Annie thought it was just a lot. That's why you wanted to know. Well, to be honest. You just immediately ruled out so many of them.
Starting point is 00:12:38 I thought, oh, geez, why could it only be these two? Well, the fleet and one, the fact that it was tightly woven human hair, I thought you wouldn't have a special word for a fabric that was only tightly woven. You know, surely once you're in the realm of a human hair fabric, you'll have one word that covers a lot of it. But what if the cloth is the specific thing, that's the fleeting thing, and it is specifically made with tightly woven human hair?
Starting point is 00:13:07 You know what I mean? You go, you're like, oh, it's a... But what are you doing? Matt, for the benefit of the listener, Matt is looking for an example. looking around the room, pointing at things, and in silence. Yeah, he say, oh, you know, like a shoe. Say like a blunt stone boot made from treated leather of a cow.
Starting point is 00:13:35 He said, why would you need a specific word for the treated leather? Surely it would just be, I don't know. All right, so I definitely make sense, but this after dark stuff. Yeah, yeah. I'm struggling too. My brain's asleep. I've set us up for failure. Anyway, that was Dave.
Starting point is 00:13:55 The, uh, having been full by a drug addict, that was the house. I also, I didn't really think it through. Hmm. Yeah. It doesn't feel like a word that you could like use in that context. Yeah. It was meant to, I was meant to be a little, a little subtle, uh, Greg Fleet joke. But, um, it was very subtle and also didn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Oh, I've been fleeting. Like, fleeced. I've been fleeting. Yeah. No, if you were the person tricking other people, then you'd be fleeting. Then you're fleeting. Yeah, but to be the victim of, you've been fleeted. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Yeah, I think that's fair. I think you need to work through your conjugations of the verb if you're going to play this game. But if I may, you had that as your second most likely option. So, you know, yeah. When I started out in comedy, there was a, there was like a joke that you haven't made it in comedy until Greg Fleeto's your 20 bucks. Yeah. Yeah. So it's sort of meant to be, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Yeah, it's nice. It's a little nod. Have you made it yet? No. He never, he's, I haven't even had that much to do with him, but he never asked me. He's always just seemed to have cash on him. I don't know who he is, so I feel like I must be doing quite badly. Well, it's probably, you probably get your own one in Sydney.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Oh, yeah, for sure. It's a regional speciality. Then we had the one with spondonical, a word describing an extremely hot spondonical. Gannet went for that. That was Jane, the question writer. Okay, the house. Andy went for the adjective describing someone who leaves social situations quickly. That was Gnit.
Starting point is 00:15:25 No. And that means Dave is correct. It is having the colour of skim milk. Ah, it takes one to no one. Well, well, well. That's, um, see, that's another one that I ruled out. Because for the very logic of like, well, again, we don't need a word for that, you know. It's milk coloured.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Yes. The colour of skim milk. And he's discovering there's multiple words in the world. Yeah, have you heard of synonyms? Sometimes there will be, I mean, there's probably multiple words for having the colour of skim milk. But this isn't a synonym, is it? Well, the synonym would be skim, skim, uh, skim milking. This is a skimonym.
Starting point is 00:16:08 This is something that is slightly different, a word, a word that is for something that is slightly different to something else. Yes. Whereas a synonym... What's it like a reverse synonym? Yeah. Is it an unonym? I think it's just a nym. Antonym.
Starting point is 00:16:25 But that's like opposite. There's no word for adjacent. Yeah. Adjacent. And, oh, adjective. No. So, a point to day. You're so excited there.
Starting point is 00:16:36 It's really a little bit of fun. A point for the house and a point to Gnit. It's, you land. I handed on the one that was probably the only one that was realistically guessable. And that really fooled Andy. And also a point for Dave. Dave got a point for getting in right, correct. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Everybody except for me then. That's right. Have a quick score check? Sweet score check. Annie on zero. Dave can eat in the house one point a piece. Anyone's game. Almost anyone's game.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Almost anyone's game. Question two. Can we do a quick pedantry check? Who's corrected the most people. I think you're gaping the field on that one. Question two comes from David Mollofsky from London, and his question is, well, he just wants you to come up with a fake species of lemur.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Whoa. Are they that many? Apparently there's over 100. That's so many lemas. Because they're only exists on Madagascar, right? Yeah. So that is wild. See, I wouldn't have different.
Starting point is 00:17:43 different words for all the different lemurs. I just have the one word. Leema. Big lemur, small, you know, medium lemma. Better is I'll come up with something. But then if there's a hundred species, what if it's real? Oh, that is. I mean, that's a danger.
Starting point is 00:17:55 We're just going to have to accept. Okay. All right. But yeah, you don't have to describe it or anything, just the name of the species. While you're writing, here's some more info on Fleeton. Jane writes, I read this word in reading the OED years ago. the author of the book spent a year reading the unabridged Oxford English Dictionary in its insane entirety from cover to cover and at the end of each chapter made a list of
Starting point is 00:18:24 words that had fallen out of use and therefore been removed or going to be removed from the dictionary. I've never forgotten fleeting because, well, an adjective for the colour of skim milk? The colour of skim milk? Yuck! It's such a precise, revolting lack of colour. Sorry, Dave. but clearly we don't need an adjective for it so it's funny anyone ever tried to make one but it took me ages to work out how to prove it actually is a word as I think I gave the book away while living in Columbia who knows so it's a bit of a random way of proving it
Starting point is 00:19:02 but I found it in the linked crossword clue so that was you get when people submit answers they've got to give me a like a resource that I can double check the fact on And I don't think I've ever had that, a crossword clue. But it was on a, like, a real legit crossword. And I did find a few other dictionary entries around it as well. But it is a very obscure word. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Here's question two. Which of these are real species of lemur? The Julian Rex lemur. Johnson's magnificent big boy. Madam Bertha's mouse lemur. There's a lot of people in these names. Yeah, yeah. The blood-tailed lemur
Starting point is 00:19:45 The hot Donegan lemma Or twinkle-toed lemur Dave, she'll get a first year Any of them jumping out at you? Do you think it was a race to name of the lemas Because like you say, they're all on one island People are like, oh, I want that one... There would have been a guy just standing there pointing out
Starting point is 00:20:05 I call it, all right, that's a blood tail. Bertha, Johnson, or Magnificent. It's a big boy. The hot Donegan We have a quick recap Julian Rex Johnson's magnificent big boy Madam Bertha's mouse lemur
Starting point is 00:20:24 Bloodtailed lemur Hot Donegan lemur Twinkletoed lemma I'm drawn to a particular answer I don't know if I want to reveal my cards Well I'll say mine I'm drawn to Madam Bertha's Mouse Lima
Starting point is 00:20:40 I'm also drawn to Mouse lemur because I think I know that mouse lemas are a type of lemma. Oh. I think this is a category of lemma. The Madam Bertha, I find off pudding. But the mouse lemur is strong enough a drawer. What about big boy? Is that a type of subspecies?
Starting point is 00:21:00 There's 12 different big boys. And it's ironic as well. It's actually a really little boy. Hey, check out the big boy. That's interesting that Andy and Dave were drawn to the. mouth. I really would have thought it would be our rat fan. I actually feel like I'm leaning more towards twinkletoe.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Okay. Twinkle Toes is a good one. I love the way they hop around. Yeah. Now Julian Rex, I presume that's a reference to King Julian from Madagascar. But maybe King Julian is a reference to Julian Rex. Very good point. Or maybe even there's a recently discovered one named after the character.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Yeah, yeah. Maybe they're both a reference. to each other. Maybe they were named simultaneously. Yes. Maybe David Schwimmer when he was voicing the character that he played in that movie was also, you know, wandering through the Madagascan Wild. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Naming. Naming. Naming. Naming. Leaming. Warning and naming. Which is something everyone does. I mean, there's a hundreds that have been named so far.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I imagine, if you want it, you could go and name it for yourself. So, you think he'd twinkle toes? I'm making it twinkle toes, yeah. Okay. And Andy, Are you going to go with Madam Bertha? I think I've got to stick with Madam Bertha. Go with your gut.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yep. All right. Here's who wrote the answers. The blood-tailed lemur. That was Gnit. It was really terrible because it feels the most... Real? Real.
Starting point is 00:22:26 But it is also, as Andy, was shocked by it. Absolutely horrific to imagine. What is it? Yeah, were you picturing like the tail was wet and red or just blood-colored? Blood-coloured. That's what I was imagining. I was picturing that it's such. somehow like wiped blood from some little gland up its own tail and used it.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Anything I pictured. The Julian Rex Leamer, that was the house. I believe David, the questioner, wrote that one up. Well, could it be. Johnson's magnificent big boy. That was Andy Matthews. Nobody went for it. You added in the magnificent late.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Thank you. It was a reference to a lantern I saw once to sail in an op shop. A lantern called The Magnificent Boy And I think about it all the time And I really regret not buying it Like a lantern It was like a... It was like a work site lamp or something
Starting point is 00:23:23 That you could take with you and plug in But it was called the Magnificent Boy And I just I want it to be my mentor I want to be more like the magnificent boy Man Jeez imagine what you could achieve I feel like the naming convention
Starting point is 00:23:39 For like large animals is the biggest in a species you call Goliath all the time. So I didn't trust that one specifically because I was like, no, they'd call it Goliath. Oh, the magnificent Goliath boy. Imagine a Goliath lemur.
Starting point is 00:23:53 There is a Goliath frog. My boyfriend at one point lied to me and told me that that was also a David frog for the smallest frog, and I believe that for a minute. That's a good, believable hoax. That's a good lie, yeah. A hoax, you could put that on Facebook
Starting point is 00:24:07 and fall some boomers. Yeah, yeah, you could be like, Goliath Frog, David Frog. Yeah. Yeah. Now, the Hot Donegan Lima, that was the house. Beautiful phrasing. Hot Donegan.
Starting point is 00:24:19 It says, I like, Hot Donegan. That's fun to say. And now that I'm reading it, that's not even what I wrote. I wrote the Hog Donog Donigan. Can I change your words? Hog Donovan, Lima. I don't know. My brain just auto-corrected that.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Probably for the bed up. Um, uh, twinkle-toed lemur, you can he went for that. That was Dave Warnocky. Sorry. Well, enjoy the point. Thank you. May it turn to ashes in your mouth. And Dave and Andy were correct.
Starting point is 00:24:51 It was Madam Bertha's mouse lemur. Uh, so Andy is on the board. My goodness, I hope we get some information about Madam Berth. Who is she? Yeah, well, she's, she's the one who discovered it. She's a primatologist. Ah. So Dave got two points there.
Starting point is 00:25:06 And he's on the board. Let me see. Primatologists and conservationist Bertha Rukotosamamina of Madagascar. Named it. Madam Bertha. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:22 It's a great name. That surname is a magnificent big boy, if ever I had one. It certainly is. And I should really give you a quick look at this guy as well because it is cute as shit. It's the smallest of all the lemas. Oh, the David Lima.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yeah, that's right. It is a little guy. Oh, my gosh. It is so cute. That's a fancy rat. That is a fancy rat. Lehmers are not primates. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:25:47 No, they are primates. They are primates. How did they get to Madagascar? Do we know? Yeah, I wonder if it was, I will try and look that up. Thank you. I would have known that at some point. But I assume it's just they evolved differently for a long time because they're on an island.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Yeah. But often they get big because they're on an island because there's no other predators. Well, there's island dwarfism and island gigantism. They're both similar but sort of... Island Davidism. That's right. What did you ask? It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:26:17 No, to be honest, I was thinking of Mauritius, because that's, that is where the Dodo was and they didn't have any mammals or predators, I think. But of course, Madagascar was probably connected to the mainland at some point, and that's probably how they got over. They just walked. Sounds like they might have got there via the sweepstakes hypothesis. Oh, they won a lot of money on the... That's a lotter when they were able to buy a place on an island?
Starting point is 00:26:38 They bought the whole island. They reckon, yeah, they just floated over on mats of vegetation. Oh, nice. That's cool. Densely woven human hair. That's a very quick Google job that. Yeah, great. I think everyone should hold me to that.
Starting point is 00:26:58 No, that's one of my favorite hypotheses. Yeah, a bit of fun. A bit of fun. All right, question three comes from, oh, two people sent this in. Shaw from Ashland, Wisconsin, and Harris, no more details given. The question is, what is the unusual name of a town in Sierra County, New Mexico? It's just got to come up with an unusual town name, somewhere in Sierra County, New Mexico. And while you're writing your answers, here's a bit more information about those beautiful
Starting point is 00:27:33 little mouse lemurs. This is according to David, the question writer. This lemur is the smallest primate in the world. Ironically, I found it because the zookeeper told me that there was once a species of Lima the size of gorillas, but they didn't have a cool name. They're called Arachionondris Fontoyononti. I think that's a pretty cool name, man.
Starting point is 00:27:56 I'm going to have to look this guy up now as well. Oh my God, look at the... This is the artist. Oh, that's a Johnson big boy. Yeah, it looks like a panda almost, but that's pretty cool. Unfortunately extinct, but what a wild-looking thing. According to the New England Primate Conservancy, sometimes known as the Pygmy Mouse Lema or Bertha's Mouse Lema,
Starting point is 00:28:25 the Madam Bertha's Mouser's Mouselema is named after the conservationist and primatologist Bertha, Racko Tussomamanana of Madagascar, And the Madam Bertha's mouse lemur is the smallest primate in the world. The average head and body length of the adult males is just 4.6 inches or 11.8 centimeters and it is 5 inches or 12.7 centimeters for females. Their tails are longer than their bodies and measure approximately 5.1 inches, 13 centimeters. And their ears measure around 0.7 inches or 1.7 centimeters. And they weigh on average about 1.2 ounces, 33 grams.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Hey, me and that Lima both. Yeah, yeah. I know normally I wouldn't ask, but that is pretty fascinating way. So I thought it was bound to come up. I like how this New England primate Conservancy website gives the example of, for perspective, that's about a third of the weight of a regular-sized apple. Surely there's going to be a fruit that's exactly the right. Maybe not.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Question three. What is this? the unusual name of the town or a town in Sierra County, New Mexico, triple whiskey, armadello scat, truth or consequences. Oh! Pound Town. Hi Tom, can you print a city name sign please?
Starting point is 00:29:50 Or Taco Tuesday. Okay. Andy, it's your go first here. Okay, well, I, obviously, a lot of great contenders. and America is a place where almost anything goes in terms of naming towns I've seen. The houses, you know, you go to a random house as a kid
Starting point is 00:30:14 and the parents will have a magnet with a town sign from America that's something like vibrator. Or, I don't think that's a town sign. Oh, that's what they told me. Was it stuck to the fridge with a magnet or was it stuck with a sort of a suction cap? Did they take it off quickly while you weren't looking? Okay, I'm going to have to make a quick call after this.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Yeah, sure. I am going to go with truth or consequences. Truth or consequences. Which one? No, that's a bit of fun. It's all the same. What do you think you need? Can I ask the spelling of Skate?
Starting point is 00:31:02 an armadillo scat yes s c a t okay so the regular way um just regular scat not skim scat um full fat scat um full fat scat oh i don't know that's a good name for a town full fat scat yeah why not let's just go armadillo scat i don't know okay i hopefully i wasn't i'm swaying you there i don't think so i was just i thought maybe it would be a different word but sounding like scat but also i don't know so i'm just gonna guess armadillo scat is locked in Dave, that leaves you. I'm thinking Tarko Tuesday, and they've done it for some sort of marketing purposes. Of course that would happen.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Something like that. Because I remember, like, LeBron tried to copyright the phrase Tacco Tuesday. Did he? Because his family eats tacos every Tuesday. He does videos on Instagram. It was a few years ago. He thought he came up with it. Yeah, and people were like, you didn't come up with Tarko Tuesday, man.
Starting point is 00:31:58 You know what I reckon it was? I reckon there was a hotel or something in the city that, had Tarko Tuesday and had a big sign out the front of the town that said Tarko Tuesday on it. And maybe the real town sign blew over in a hurricane. And only the Tarko Tuesday sign was left standing. And then when the people came through doing the census, they thought that was the name of the town. They wrote that down on the map because it hadn't been on the maps before then.
Starting point is 00:32:28 And the rest is not history, but cartography. Mm, that's right. Because they were to lock that in. Yes, you are locking that in. Okay, great. Here's the answer. Triple whiskey. That was Dave Warnikey.
Starting point is 00:32:40 They thought her at Triple Whiskey shot. Sorry about that. Sorry, everyone. You didn't. I just stopped checking that. Well, I wouldn't put it past me to be honest. I misread my own one before. You're not going to get a pedantry point doing that, David.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Sorry. Pound Town. That was the house. It was good. Hi, Tom. Can you print a city name sign, please? I thought it was Andy Matthews. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Thank you. Didn't laugh at the time though, did you? I think I did. No good to me now. I think I did. No good to me now. That's rewind. Armadillo Scat.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Gnett went for that. Oh, that was Sam. One of the question writers, okay, the house, I'm afraid. Made me laugh too. They all did. Tarko Tuesday, no one for that. That was Gnit. Oh.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Is that what you were thinking in your mind? The of LeBron's family? Oh, yeah, we were actually related. Every Tuesday. And that does mean Andy is correct. It is truth or consequences. In a lot of ways, probably the weirdest one on the list. I'm afraid I knew the answer.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Okay. It makes it much less fun when you know the answer to the questions. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I feel like a failure. I feel like I got it wrong, even though I got it right. But, you know, there wouldn't be many names that have, you know, two options inside of a town name, would they? And is there a question mark involved?
Starting point is 00:33:57 No question mark. But it was kind of what you're talking about. some of the other ones it was a sign for a hotel that got it was a radio basically a radio promotion there was a radio game show called truth or consequences and the host said first sound to name themselves truth or consequences i'll record or will broadcast live from their one episode and that's what they did and it's still known as that before that it was known as like hot springs or something which is not nicer but you know truth or consequences sounds it's more metal. Yeah, I love it.
Starting point is 00:34:33 I think it's fun. But yeah, it's really anything goes over there with town names. Everything's so like, how do we, I think it's big, you know, the magnet industry is really big over there. Sure, it's one of the biggest. Where silly over here, we do a big thing. Oh, no, come and see our big thing. You just change the name.
Starting point is 00:34:51 The name could be big thing. Yeah. Doesn't get bigger than that. The big mistake. Oh, yeah. That's not a big. Well, yeah, I think that could be a nice one. Thank you, gosh.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Andy Gnit and the House all score a point in that round. So at the halfway mark, the scores are Andy Gannett and the House on two points. We're at front on three points. It's Dave Warnocky. Here is question number four. This comes from Was in Chicago. And the question is, what is the name of the by the book, No Nonsense Nebulon Power Master?
Starting point is 00:35:28 from the original Transformers. Wow. This is a transforming character? I can't any of you get into the Transformers. There's ones like... StarScream? Yeah, StarScream. Optimus Prime.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Yeah, sort of gibberish names. Okay. By the book, No Nonsense, what? Nebulae post... A power master? Nebulae power master. Yeah. But I looked him up.
Starting point is 00:35:51 He just looked like a transformer. I think I saw a nebulin power master stuck to somebody's fridge door with a little suction cap the other day. Okay. Gane, you've already written your answers. I can tell you all about truth or consequences.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Oh, please do. This is according to the town's wiki page. The city changed its name from Hot Springs to truth or consequences as a result of the radio show contest in March of 1950 when Ralph Edwards, the host of the NBC radio quiz show,
Starting point is 00:36:22 Truth or Consequences, announced that he would air the program on its 10th anniversary from the first town that renamed its after the show. And Hot Springs officially changed his name on the 31st of March, 1950, and the program was broadcast from there the following evening. Edwards visited the town during the first weekend of May for the next 50 years as well.
Starting point is 00:36:41 So they really won him over. And his visits to the town became a thing known as the Fiesta, which included a beauty contest, a parade and a stage show. And the city, even after he died, the city still celebrates Fiesta each year at the same time. first weekend of May, and the parade generally features local dignitaries, Miss Fiesta pageant queen, and also a hatch-chilly queen pageant. And they also have a dance in Ralph Edwards Park. So they named a park after him.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Now they dance in it. That's beautiful. What a legacy. Yeah, it's such a funny thing to come out of a... It's like, well, just this throwaway promo for a radio show. You've got to do something, don't you? Well, I think it's fantastic. Apparently, this show, this is Gordon-Harris.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Truth or Consequences, the radio show, combined trivia questions with wacky stunts, and originally ran in the 1940s on radio into the 1970s on TV. And Bob Barker from The Price of Right, actually hosted it from 1956 to 1975. Hey, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. All right, we're back.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Here is question number four. What is the name of the by the book, no-nonsense, Nebula and Power Master from the original Transformers? Here are your options. Power fist. On the fridge. Beef cake supreme.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Also on the fridge. It's a real on the fridge. See if we can keep it going. Come on everybody. Let's all hold hands for this bit. Bureaucrat bot. That's on the fridge. It doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Let go of me. Oh, I'm so sorry. Loub. No, no, it's watch. Oh, no, it's on the bridge. Truncadorian Phil. That could, that could honestly. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:38:42 That could be. Or Jeremy Smith. Mm. Power fist. Beefcake Supreme. Bureaucratobot. Bureaucratpot. Bureaucrat pot.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Lube. Truncedorian Phil. Or Jeremy Smith. Actually, I'm just read again. It actually says Jeremy Smith, sorry. Jeremy Smith. With a J? With a J.
Starting point is 00:39:04 What does that do? We're back to you giving me for first crack here. I mean, it wasn't a high contender to start with, but... Has it sent it lower? The loss of that crucial second E has really taken it down. Yeah, not Jeremy Smith, for sure. What were the other one, sorry? PowerFist.
Starting point is 00:39:25 Beefcake Supreme. Bureaucrat bot, lube, truncadorian Phil. I'll go trancidorian Phil. It's a beautiful name, but is it Transformers? Transedorian. Yeah, well, yeah. There's Powerfist or beef, I don't know. Any of them, I don't know enough about Transformers or Roset.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Powerfist and beefcake sound too horny, I think. What, Loub? I guess Loub is the opposite of horny. We have had, I don't know. Louv can be horny. This is reminding me that. Uh, the other time we had a transformer question, I think, I'm pretty sure the real one was erector. No, no.
Starting point is 00:40:05 That's really helped. Yeah. I mean, that's, I think that's, I think I'm remembering that right. What's the beefcake one again, sorry? Uh, beefcake supreme. Beefcake supreme. Or I'm also thinking you're one of the first two. Back in episode 30, we had a question and erector was the correct transformer.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Or fist. So we've got one truncadour in Phil for Gnit. Dave, what do you think? I think the fist. Power fist. Power fist. I think the fist as well. That served as well.
Starting point is 00:40:38 But I don't want to double up again. Okay. That's not how to do this. No, I'll go lube. Okay. Well, the two of you together actually could work out quite nice. We ought to do. Yeah, and fist.
Starting point is 00:40:53 All right. And he's locking in lube. Here's who wrote the answers. Bureaucrat bot. That was Gnate. I also loved that by the, I forgot about it. It was very good.
Starting point is 00:41:04 But maybe too plausible. Because of the description of it, like no nonsense. By the book. Yeah. I'll also never forgive that answer for breaking a brilliant run of things that could be stuck to offer.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Well, that's interesting. I really thought of you as a kind of guy would be turned on by bureaucrats and bureaucracy. Jeremy Smith That was the house I'm pretty sure I meant to write Jeremy Smith But something had Jeremy Smith
Starting point is 00:41:33 And I honestly Added the Smith at the very last second Because I was gonna have Jeremy Well, because you, because Gineate went for Trunsidori and Phil That was Dave Warnocky Sorry And as soon as I saw that
Starting point is 00:41:47 And then I had Jeremy and next I'm like, I need to add something To compete with Truncedorian Phil And I added Smith And, but forgot to spell Jeremy correctly. Oh, do we all laughed about the misspelling? I really... Jeremy Smith.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Jeremy Smith appealed to me because it's so plain. Maybe it is that one. Yeah, that was, yeah, my appeal as well. Then when we got to Jeremy, I was like, no, it's not... I turned on it as well, yeah. Absolutely. Did I say Beefcake Supreme was Andy? No, you didn't.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Oh, I was really doing with it. It does. It sounds like something you'd find in an American supermarket. Yeah. know, either corn chips or perhaps like just a frozen meal. I don't know why I'm saying America, probably also Australia. Yeah, yeah. I'm really happy that Andy's right now because if it's called Louvre, that would be the best.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Well, Dave, you went for PowerFist. That was the question on ask. The correct answer is Lou. What? Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you for sending me in the right direction. That is a loop.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Lube and erect there are two. Lube seems like such an obvious joke answer. So how is that the correct answer? Yeah. There's nothing mechanical or powerful about it. That's so good. That's so good. My favorite answer I've ever heard of this one.
Starting point is 00:43:06 No, I mean, Lube is a feature of a lot of mechanical. True. The Lourke sense. Yeah. But just to be called, no nonsense, he's Lube. Called WD-40.
Starting point is 00:43:18 I don't know. Yeah, that's right. So, yeah, there's other characters who are, Pretty full-on sound. Like Optimus Prime is the main guy. Sure. Feels like they've really phoned in lube. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Just look in the cupboard, look on the fridge. I recommend I just to go to their house as a kid. Do you think that when he transforms, he does turn into the Lubemobile? I think so, yes. 13, 30, 32. They fix the car. Do I have Lubemobile in Sydney? I think so.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Okay. Why aren't you laughing then? Oh, my God. A little pet and pet. Yeah. That's just being a dick, I don't think that's. There's a subtle difference, actually, David. Bing!
Starting point is 00:44:03 Thank you. The penultimate question comes from L. Dawson Scott from Adelaide. The question is, how did actor Oliver Reed die? How did actor Oliver Reed? I love Oliver Reed. Oh, sorry if you're hearing about this. He's got a magnificent square head. And that time.
Starting point is 00:44:22 What a mustache. Fantastic. Yeah. He's a, I mean, there's two men in there, I reckon. In that head. In the, in the, in the, in all the region, there's enough bits to make two whole men. Okay. It is a, it's a big head.
Starting point is 00:44:37 But yeah, you're right. It's a big head. He could have, if still life, would have been great to play the Democracy Manifest guy. Would. Yeah. Gorgeous. I don't know. Would he have been.
Starting point is 00:44:50 theatrical enough. If any actor could pull it off. All right, while you're writing about how Oliver Reed died, here's some more info on Lube of the Transformer. A Connau Transformers wikia fan. Lube is a by the book, no nonsense.
Starting point is 00:45:12 And then it says, okay, he's a temperamental tight ass is what he is. As such, he's usually screaming at his Autobot partner slapdash. Though many times it's from a great distance. Even though lube provides energy for the power master, the slacking slapdash often leaves lube behind
Starting point is 00:45:29 before charging off into battle, leaving the Autobot stuck in vehicle mode. He needs the lube to transformers. Am I reading that right? It is very funny to refer to a character called lube as tight-ass. Yeah. Was adds that the OG Transformers wild. There was a cheap toy in the late 80s for him as well, meaning you, you too can have a
Starting point is 00:45:56 little lube in your home. That's a beautiful was. You reckon they ever made like a loob loop? Oh, like that's awesome. Like the whole franchise was based on merchant tines, right? Yeah, you got to make some metal's only merch, right? Surely. Yeah. As your audience grows up, it actually started as merch and then they, is it one of those ones that was a toy and then they made the show around it? Yeah, that seems to ring about it. I believe it. I believe the thing I said.
Starting point is 00:46:25 They started with loop and they went, how can we market this to children? We got heaps of it. Yes. All right. Answering for question number five. How did Oliver Reed die? Option one.
Starting point is 00:46:45 He attempted to jump a bonfire on an improvised sled drawn by a prize pig while drunk at a party on his rural York hobby farm. Witnesses said tragedy never smelled more delicious. Because the pig. Oh. Gnit, as a vegetarian, probably won't relate to that, but I think that. I can still appreciate smells.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I have a nose. I'm also vegetarian. I was just trying to be. Yeah, you probably wouldn't get it as, uh, yeah, us fellas. You wouldn't get the smell of a birding corpse. It's fantastic. It's absolutely, oh, my gosh. So that's, I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Option one, option two, autoerotic asphyxiation. Oh, nice and simple. Option three. That's how Andy was talking. He's like, just couldn't get the spelling. Option three, in a break from filming Gladiator, he got into a drinking contest with a group of sailors at a bar in Malta before, during which he died of a heart attack.
Starting point is 00:47:48 It's pretty good. Option four, he accidentally swallowed the toothpick from an olive whilst drinking a martini and he died from a resulting infection. Wow. During a drinking binge, he flew his personal airplane. He was really drunk. His personal airplane out over the Pacific Ocean until the fuel ran out and it crashed into the sea.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Well, finally, he tried to get his square head into a round hole. Bravo Okay Dave It's up to you So you've got Trying to jump a bonfire And the pig got involved You got auto erotic asphyxiation
Starting point is 00:48:31 You got drank to death with sailors in Malta Got a toothpick ingestion You've got crashed his plane into the sea Or try to get his square head into a row hole I think I'm going to say I'm still thinking about that square head thinking about that toothpick what a way to go
Starting point is 00:48:53 I think there's two drinking ones I'm going to go with the sailors the multis multi-sailers locked in Andy now I feel like I know for a fact that Gladiator was his last film role
Starting point is 00:49:08 and in fact he didn't even finish the filming of the movie because he, I think there was some scenes because of a pig jumping situation. So I think they had to, you know, cut a redid around the fact that he was dead for a bit of the film. But I don't, again, I don't want to go the same as Dave
Starting point is 00:49:29 and he did me a favour before. So I'm going to say, lube. All right, now I've got to figure out which one's the lubiest of these. I'm going to say choked on the, the toothpick. The toothpick. Died from a subsequent infection.
Starting point is 00:49:42 John. What? That in for Andy? Gennate, what do you think? Those were the two that I was, like, leaning on the most. The third one that I was thinking about was, like, that he flew into the sea or something? That's just sad. That one's too sad.
Starting point is 00:49:56 All the others have got a little bit of jolliness to them. But it does feel like something, like, a male celebrity would do. Yes. So I'll go with that. You can go the same as it comes up. You wouldn't go your own way? Well, I think it's more fun if I pick a different one. And I also, I'm guessing.
Starting point is 00:50:10 That's true. You go on playing. crash in the sea. I'm going to plane crash. I feel like you did an Amelia Earhart. All right. She was really drunk as well as she. All right. Here's who wrote the answers. Attempted to jump a bonfire on an improvised sled drawn by a prize pig. That was Andy Matthews. God, I'll stop writing such fucking long answer.
Starting point is 00:50:32 It's not worth it. The other end of the spectrum, the very efficient autoerotic association. That was Gannet. I've always described autoerotic exquisite. Yeah, that's efficient. Wouldn't be possible. There's nothing in the world that could get around that neck of his.
Starting point is 00:50:50 That's magnificent neck. Well, that's why he was so cocky about it. He's like, I'll survive this. You won't get around there. Try to get his square head into a round hole. That was Dave. It's very funny. A bit of fun.
Starting point is 00:51:02 During a drinking binge, flew his personal airplane. Oh, plane. I'm going to say that word. Out of the Pacific. That was. L, the question writer, aka the house. Which means one of us is correct.
Starting point is 00:51:17 If my deductions are correct, it comes down to you and I. Toothpick or Malta. And he went for the toothpick. That was also L. The correct one is drunk in Malta. He went on it and it was like an unbelievable amount of booze that he had. Yeah, right. Truly magnificent.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Like bottles and bottles. I knew he was a big drinker. That's my thought it was one of the two drinking ones. Here's the list, according to L, three bottles of Captain Morgan's Jamaica rum, eight bottles of German beer, numerous doubles of famous grouse whiskey, and Hennessy Cognac. And then he went on to beat five Royal Navy Sailors in Arm Wrestling. And just after that. What a way to go.
Starting point is 00:52:03 And the pub's been renamed Ollie's last pub in his memory. That's just kind of sweet. All right. So we're up to the final question. And this one comes from Ben Bruflat from Cumberland Gap in Tennessee. We always finish with a movie synopsis question. And the movie that you're synopsizing, is that a pedant? Is you happy with that?
Starting point is 00:52:28 Synopulating, I believe. Synopulating. I need you to synopulate the film Cattle, bat, spider. One more time? Cattle, bat, spot. Three words. Any punctuation? No punctuation.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Cattle bats spider. Three words. One film. In a film with three words. And this is worth triple points, I should say. It was a good round for the house that last round. Two points for the house. One for the Dave.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Oh, sorry, one for Dave. The Dave is a different. The Dave's not playing. I did a gig with the Dave in Cairns last month. I can't believe you got to meet The Dave. The Dave. The Dave.
Starting point is 00:53:13 The Dave. So going to the final round, Gnitz on two, and he's on three, Dave in the house out in front on five. But here's some more info about Oliver Reed. Corner Rotten Tomatoes, a versatile performer who made his living playing ruthless villains, actor Oliver Reed also developed a reputation
Starting point is 00:53:32 as one of the bad boys of British cinema. In the 1960s and 70s, he, along with pals Richard Burton, Richard Harris and Peter O'Toole notoriously raised hell while drinking themselves into oblivion, leaving behind a long line of battered hotel rooms and broken bones, courtesy of numerous bar fights. With no formal training to speak of, Reed burst onto the scene with The Curse of the Werewolf in 1961 and delivered a memorable performance as the evil Bill Sikes in the Oscar-winning musical Oliver in 1968. He was delightful as the immoral head of the Assassination Bureau in 1969
Starting point is 00:54:10 and was his swash buckling best as Athos or Athos in the Three Musketeers in 1973 and its sequel to Four Musketeers the following year. From there, Reid embarked on a series of misbegotten films like The Big Sleep in 1978, The Sting 2, 983, castaway 986, none of which added any value to his career. Reid had a bit of fun as the evil Vulcan in the adventures of Baron Munchausen in 1988 and Billy Bones in Treasure Island in 1990 only to once again make several rather
Starting point is 00:54:42 forgettable pictures. But Reid began reviving himself once more late in his career only to suffer a fatal heart attack in the midst of production of the Oscar-winning gladiator. Leaving behind a long career that to critics and fans seemed unworthy of the actor's considerable gifts. It's a pretty sad read on the... on the old rotten tomatoes there. According to Elle, on the 2nd of May 1999, Reed died of a heart attack in a bar
Starting point is 00:55:07 after downing that big list of booze that I said just before and then beating five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm wrestling. The Maltese public house in which he died was renamed Ollie's last pub in his memory. Elle continues, I heard about this in the excellent podcast, What Went Wrong in their episode about the film Gladiator?
Starting point is 00:55:28 He died during the filming and his character's story arc had to be changed as a result. His final scene was created using CGI and a body double costing production $3 million. Oh yeah, Elle also says that her two fake answers, the one about the toothpick. That was a true story of author Sherwood Anderson. And apart from the boozy bit, the plain one was true of John Denver. Oh.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Yeah Toothpick one's wild To be a true way What a way to go That does just sound like something That would happen though The toothpick Yeah like people just die in random ways
Starting point is 00:56:08 Yeah it's true There's been a lot of us people You know Yeah I count myself as one Over the years All right The answer in for the final question
Starting point is 00:56:17 Here it is What is the synopsis of the film Cattle Bat Spider From the makers of Sporn Comes another twisted idea From the mind Of Todd McFarlahlin I'm having a great time.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Cattle bat spider. The vicious anti-hero held Ben on revenge when his calf eggs are stolen by the villainous horse rat grasshopper. Is the lesser of two evils really the only option? It's option one. Option two. The cattle farmer gets bitten by a spider while attending to his cattle. Over the coming weeks, he finds himself becoming more and more spider-like
Starting point is 00:56:53 to the detriment of his personal relationships until one day his wife leaves him. He spins himself into a cocoon where he dies. No mention of bats, which I like. Well, you've got to watch the film. Yeah, you've got to hold something. Option three. Texas hunter Marty Lupin is on a mission to do a reverse Noah's Ark.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Kill every animal endemic to the USA. After a decade of traveling, he has one animal left. the incredibly rare cattle bat spider that no one has seen in over 50 years. Will he be able to find the last of the species and kill it? It's a beautiful story. That was all the time.
Starting point is 00:57:40 A beautiful story. A hunter. Option four. Lance West, played by Frank M. Riggs, receives superpowers when he is trampled by a radioactive cow. A cow that was bitten by a redacted by a radioactive bat that accidentally ate
Starting point is 00:57:57 a radioactive spider through this series of mutations Lance has given the combined abilities of a cow, a bat and a spider Lance learns to use his powers and adopts a costume persona thus cattle bat spider is born
Starting point is 00:58:16 he goes on to fight ninjas and defend his home from those who would do it harm it's option four option five What happens when you combine the What happens This is going to be the stupidest list of synopsies
Starting point is 00:58:36 Option five What happens when you combine the political satire Of George Orwell's animal farm With twisted Halloween mischief You get Cattlebat spider The Dark Overlord Reeking Havoc upon an innocent farm in Iowa
Starting point is 00:58:54 Who can stop the cattle bat spider? Or finally, Jenny is a mild-mannered office employee with a dark secret. She is a direct female line descendant of the woman from the old woman who swallowed a fly nursery ride. Fighting desperate urges to consume even larger animals, she forms an unlikely friendship with a local real estate agent. it's only unlikely because nobody normally wants to be friends with a real estate agent together they go on a sex crazed road trip and died driving into a volcano I like a third of these tell us how they die how they die yeah that's what you put in a synopsis isn't it usually if a movie you put the ending in there
Starting point is 00:59:44 well some of you might be wondering how we got on it exactly what happens all right so Andy it's your go Oh, oh no I mean there were a few power ones But I think the one that I was drawn to It brought me the most joy As the one with the man trampled by the cow Who had been bitten by a bat
Starting point is 01:00:09 That had eaten a spider Yes So I will go with the cumulative Lance West I hope it's an analogy for the bioaccumulation Of pesticides in the food chain Yeah, I'm sure that's between the lines there somewhere. Canate, what do you think?
Starting point is 01:00:25 I'm thinking reverse Noah's Ark. I mean, I love it as a concept. I'm picking it because I want it to exist. Yeah. All right. Marty Lupin and his reverse Noah's arse to Keneit. That leaves you, Dave. They were the only two I could remember.
Starting point is 01:00:40 No, I remember the last one I loved. The one I want to watch most is the sex crazy adventure when they drive them to a volcano. That does really sound like... I just related to the old woman who swole. a fly. There's so much going on there. I loved it. That does feel like a classic Warnocky kind of movie. Statham in it.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Oh, yeah. Stathens in it. Oh, and also the Animal Farm one. So what are the other ones I haven't remembered? The one that comes from the makers of Sporn, another twisted idea, which includes the villainous horse rat grasshopper. I love that it's a twisted idea. It's not a twisted
Starting point is 01:01:14 story or tail is just an idea. You haven't fleshed that out yet. And you also had The one where the cattle farmer's bitten by a spider, and he ends up, when his relationship falls apart, he ends up spinning a cocoon for himself where he dies. Fucking hell. And, sorry, and last one.
Starting point is 01:01:35 Rivenna Snowers-Arck, you've got the cattle-bat spider superhero. Is that the one that Andy's gone for? Animal Farm One. The Animal Farm One, how did that end again? It's a dark lord. I don't think we hear the ending of that. No, and no deaths? It poses the question, who can stop the cattle bat spider?
Starting point is 01:01:55 Yeah, okay. This could be the toughest question I've ever been asked. Yeah. Oh, I mean, I think I'm going to go, I don't know why, but Coon Man. Cacoon Man. Yeah. I'm crazy. Am I crazy?
Starting point is 01:02:12 Well, something you would know, because you've been on 20 episodes of the show or something, but the movies are very rarely good and sensitive. Yeah, I remember Cochoon Man was the only one that didn't mention a bat. Yeah, but you liked that. And I liked that you liked it. All right, that's final answer. Final answer. All right, locked in.
Starting point is 01:02:36 I'm just struggling to figure out which ones, which they're all, they all have the words cattle bat spider in them a lot. Except the one that I went for. Oh, that's true. You had cattle and spider, apparently. All right, locking that in for date. Dave, here's who wrote the answers. From the makers of Sporn.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Twisted idea. That was written by Ben, the question writer. Ben Brewflat, from the twisted mind of Ben Bruflat, actually. Now, Ben also wrote the George Orwell's Animal Farm one. And you avoided both of Ben's traps there. It was tempting, though, because it was quite different. The one where they go to you, the one that Dave, actually wants to watch where they end up dying in a volcano.
Starting point is 01:03:22 That was Andy Matthews. Oh, great film. You're going to make that? Yeah, yeah. Love that. If I can get the rights to the old woman who swallowed a fly, do you reckon that's out of, nobody's made that.
Starting point is 01:03:32 That's old. That's one of the few fairy tales that Disney hasn't snapped. Yeah, that's seriously old. It's a deal. I loved it. So, of the final three, they're the three that you each guest. Well done. Dave went for the man killing himself in a cocoon.
Starting point is 01:03:49 That was Ginnit. Oh, great work. I'd watch that as well. Geneit went for the reverse Noah's Ark. That was Dave. Oh, beautiful. Beautiful work, Dave. And that means Andy is correct.
Starting point is 01:04:02 It is the cattle bat spider as a costume superhero. Well done. So everyone scores triple points there. I can tell you, before I give you the final scores, Ben writes, this movie has six reviews on IMDB for an average of 9.6 out of 10. Oh, they're highly reviews. One review reads, it's one of those movies that's hard to forget.
Starting point is 01:04:26 I've tried everything. That would make it above like Shawshank and the Godfather, part two. I'd love to know what is the mechanism whereby the trampling by the cow transfers the cow's powers into it. Because a lot of the time, just being sort of crushed or beaten is not enough. Usually it just kills you. Normally that just kills you. Well, maybe, yeah, had he already gotten some of the powers from one of the other things first? And then, like, because he already had the radioactive power from a spider.
Starting point is 01:04:57 No, I thought the cow had the... We have to watch this to get to the bottom of it. I think it all makes sense in the film. And it looks like it's 40 minutes long. So it's a very doable watch. Merciful. All right, final score check. Geez, everything happened in that final round.
Starting point is 01:05:13 In the end, Gennit in the house in equal third place. on five points apiece. Andy moves up in a second place on six points, but out in front on eight points is Dave. Unassailable! Thanks everyone. Bravo. Well done.
Starting point is 01:05:27 It was a very consistent performance there, Dave. You scored in points in all but one round. And that was enough in the end. But yeah, tight battle there. Andy also obviously very well played. You scored points in all but two rounds. Thank you. Me and Gannate, obviously, also we're playing along today.
Starting point is 01:05:46 This is a nice little match wrap-up. Really? Between first and last, only three points separates. You throw a blanket over the field. What a fantastic game it's been. I think the people out there are going to have loved it. Where can people find you? Instagram.
Starting point is 01:06:01 You can put my spelling of my name in there. Yeah, great. You know what? Do you know this, that there is a Gnit Kour in Melbourne, who's a dentist? I did know that. I invited her to my solo show because I thought that would be funny. Did you come? No, she did not.
Starting point is 01:06:14 She did not reply to my emails. No, come on. But like, if someone hit you up and said, Hey, I do this thing. Do you want to come? You would come if they had the same name as you, right? I think I would if my name wasn't so common that I wouldn't be able to do anything else. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:27 There's millions of Matt Stewart's around. Your calendar would be too full. You know what? If there's any Matt Stewart's out there, hit me up. I'll come watch you do dentistry or something. Do you think that if it went the other way, you'd take the other ganyed up on it? Like if you said, hey, come on in for a free checkup. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Because of your name. Yeah. Absolutely. If any dentists want to give me free dental work, please. I think that's a fair swap. I'll put you on the door. You come see my door. Yeah. Help me with my room now. My name's already on it. So yeah, people can look, you're, you are easy to find, but you're not the dentist. No, I'm not the dentist. That's an easy way for people to remember. Not the, if you've gone to the dentist, you've gone too far.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Turn back. Dave, where can people find you? I've put out a stand-up special. Can you believe it? On the Humdinger YouTube channel right now, you can watch my show, even hotter in real life. It's getting great love, great love. None of that shitty love that you see some comedians specials get. This is top quality love. We're deleting all the bad love.
Starting point is 01:07:29 It's a full-time job. And Annie Matthews. You can find me on the Two in the Think Tank podcast with Alistair George William Trombleau Birchel where we come up with five sketch ideas every episode. And indeed we are approaching the 500th episode where we will come up with 500 sketch ideas. It will take us probably over 24 hours.
Starting point is 01:07:47 of continuous podcasting here at Humdinger. And one of us will die. We guarantee one of us will die. Of your own making? Possibly in a cocoon. But I can't guarantee whether or not we'll be able to make it ourselves or we'll have to get the other one to help out. Yes, okay.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Yeah, I don't want to over promise. Is it, so if the money's not raised for Al, does he, will he sort of zoom it in? No, he's already coming. Okay, well, that's, you really lower the stuff. He's definitely coming. He's definitely coming. But it would make it a lot easier.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Okay. You know, it wouldn't bankrupt us, basically, to get him over from Canada. And yes, as Dave so rightly points out, you can actually buy a ticket to our live show on the 11th of October. You can buy a two-in-the-think tank cap, a beautiful blue corduroy hat that I have several hundred of at my house. And you can come along, you can come along and you can wear that hat to, the live show or more likely be given it at the live show so that we don't have to pay for postage oh that's great well i'm going to do that did you do that david you just went there and was like nah not for me oh no i've got the hat yeah well i will get the hat at the show
Starting point is 01:09:01 very excited fantastic thanks so much for joining us hopefully you had a nice time listening cheers to tuning in to who knew it with matt's jrott now that you know it i've been matt's show it goodbye Have you ever tried to do a Jeopardy style round where you give the answer and then three people have to, everyone has to try and write the question. Oh, write the question. That's finally fine.
Starting point is 01:09:32 And then there's the correct question in there somewhere. Do I want to try and rework one of these tonight? No, absolutely not. But it's a cool idea. I think it would really be quite hard to do. You do? I mean, you write question for the show occasionally. Pro rata?
Starting point is 01:09:48 What does pro rata mean? Pro rata, that means I get a... You do it for free? No. No? That's pro boto. Pro bodeo. Pro berno means I give a relative proportion.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Yeah, that's what you do. You give me a relative proportion of this. He's on a million dollars a year. Pro rata. You write two questions. But you haven't replied to a lot of my messages. Have I not? You haven't used any of my suggestions recently.
Starting point is 01:10:11 Oh, is that true? I take it quite personally. I'm so sorry. It's actually why I'm here. This is so awkward for us Yeah Look It looks to me like I'll reply
Starting point is 01:10:29 No, you reply You reply Oh that's pretty good I've gone up But there are a few good ones there Thank you No there's a few No responses here
Starting point is 01:10:36 I'm saying Recording another episode on Friday I'll slide one in You know these are new mics I thought they looked a different New setup yeah Yeah right Do they...
Starting point is 01:10:47 Is it... Are they all on? Can you hear me? I can hear you. If you want, you can put headphones on. Maybe it is good to wear headphones. Andy looks too cool for it. Fair enough.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Oh yeah. Just because apparently these ones are more directional. So it just helps you know when you're... You can hear if you're drifting off it a bit. Got it. Okay. It was an Evan tip and I'll do anything Evan says. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:10 All good? I love that you make people give you references. That's actually very very. smart. That's, you know, you're calling upon them to do their own verification. Do their own research. Did you learn that from doing, writing questions for the chase? Yeah, well, it's, you need a, and it's like, ideally it's not going to be a Facebook post or something. Reputable sources. Because there is, that is a big thing. There's a lot of, a lot of fun words come up and get shared around on Facebook posts. And then, and I'll be like, oh, this is amazing. And
Starting point is 01:11:43 then you go to find it. It's like, oh, this is a hoax, basically. that boomers have shared around or other generations have you had anyone like submit stuff and you're like this is clearly just like a conspiracy and they just said you conspiracy like theories yeah i think pretty close to yeah you like questions about flat earth yeah that's right it's like oh what's a fun fact about how the earth isn't round and now we'll cut and paste them so this bit will get out of it out don't worry about it ironically the cutting and the pasting is is cut but never pasted. That's true.
Starting point is 01:12:19 You know? Is that cruel? You live by the sword, you die by the sword. Yes. I think by saying that you just ensure that Cotterall or cut and pasted at the end of the episode. That's true. So people are now hearing this. So, yeah, like a...
Starting point is 01:12:34 I don't want to force his hand. I dare not predict the ways of Connor, who is as a god to this podcast. He is, yeah. He can make it not so that you never were. Yeah. That's right Is Connor ever edited out The entire person
Starting point is 01:12:50 The whole guest He's gone Nah I gotta say I want to say no But I wouldn't know I imagine someone Would have told me
Starting point is 01:12:59 That was weird You kept sort of Referring to someone Who wasn't there But if he'd do such a good job You wouldn't even know Doing a lot of callbacks This episode
Starting point is 01:13:10 Which is fair That's what podcasting is That's the whole thing You got to talk for a minute at the start to set up some references and then you spend the rest of the time calling back to those correct so i'm really glad i threw that vibrator out for you earlier you were able to grip onto it you've all written your answers haven't you bloody hell anyone want to advertise anything in the ad break um yeah we got a possible campaign going at the moment to get
Starting point is 01:13:43 Alistair Trombley Birchell back into the country for the 500th episode of Two in the Think Tank. Is that for, is that for, uh, flights or for like... Paperer's, paper's flights. The paperwork. No, I think the paperwork's been done. Okay. I think he's all...
Starting point is 01:13:58 He's still a citizen, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, not morally, but, you know, legally, I suppose. Right, because he left us. That's right. Yeah, okay. So where can people find that? Um, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:14:14 Online, I guess. Yeah, online. I can tell me that there is a link in the two in the think tank Instagram because that's where I went and I bought a hat. Oh. So you buy a hat, you pledge some money. You bring Alice down back. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:27 You would love the hat too. Okay. It's not just giving us money for no reason. It's a real Matt Stewart hat. It's a, it's a, can I describe the hat? It's a deep blue corduroy. Okay. And on the front it says the listener.
Starting point is 01:14:39 Yes. And then on the back, there's a lot. a little bit that says of the two and the think tank podcast. Okay. That does sound.
Starting point is 01:14:44 I'm like, I'm ready to be offended here with the real Matt Stewart type hat. That's it. I'm like, yeah, it's a piece of shit.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Yeah, there's a big poo on the back. Beautiful bit of pluggery. Oh, I think I was the first one to buy a hat. Beautiful bit of pluggery is actually something I saw on a fridge.
Starting point is 01:15:01 With a suction cup. You mark that up. It's unfortunate that on our phone so you can't hear it but Andy's absolutely war and pacing over here on this computer
Starting point is 01:15:31 he's still typing an elaborate death for Oliver Reed. Sorry, everybody. It won't be worth it. Oh, Andy's written a step-by-step. What's that guy makes the mousetrap stole? Rube Goldberg machine?
Starting point is 01:15:54 Andy's gone to be able. He fell into Rube Goldberg machine. Here are what the steps involved. First. Ah, she's on the other foot here. Andy, you finally got one in first. Mate, when are these guys going to ever finish, Roddy? synopulations.
Starting point is 01:16:13 Jeez, you put the pressure on Dave and he's just finished halfway through a send. Yeah, it's a rubber. Addict. All right, it's time. The final question. Question number six, what is the synopsis of the film Cat Battle? Cat Battle? Did I?
Starting point is 01:16:38 I said it right before. I applaud. I applaud. Do you think you'll leave in? Hopefully you had a good time listening. I have no idea. I have no idea. It's done for me.
Starting point is 01:16:55 That whole episode has gone from my mind. Who are you people? What are you doing here? How did you get into my house? I'm taking it off my pants and going to sleep. I started, I was going to say, I was about to say, hopefully he had had a good, nice time in the first. episode but I'm like that feels like a weird thing to say and I pivoted mid
Starting point is 01:17:14 sentence flawlessly might I add well I thought so until I thought you were Simone Biles for a second there I was in the presence of the small the small ballerina team you us a gymnast gymnast gymnast
