Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Who New with Matt Stewart, the show, where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart. My co-host tonight is from the weekly planet team. It's Maisie J.G. Hello, everyone. Thanks so much for being involved. You're relatively local to Swansea.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Is that fair? No. Relative, I mean more than me. Yeah, more than you, for sure. Cheltenham, if anyone... Cheltenham. No, that's fair. No, don't...
Starting point is 00:00:37 No, don't... You don't need to... Which side? Is that on... Is that in enemy territory? Oh, wrong side of the dyke. I heard about... Offers, dikes. It doesn't matter, but... If you don't know, it's a big ditch.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Do you... Is someone told me, is that not a real thing? Amazing, thanks so much for joining us to know. Who are our guests this evening? Okay, so our first guest runs the regular comedy room here at the Elysium. It's Chris Barr. It's me. Hello.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Chris, thanks so much for joining us. So you run a monthly comedy room here? I do. This is Dave a month, Rose Gallery Comedy Club. You should come, and I can say this. Scott hasn't given me permission to do it who runs the bar. You can get tickets for like six quid. just do it now over the bar.
Starting point is 00:01:29 That's the cheap plug. That's supposed to be like a taner, but what's he going to do? We're desperate for a crowd. So if you want to get it, you don't have to watch the show now. That's a bug. If I was doing it,
Starting point is 00:01:43 and I'm thinking about doing myself, if I'd go to the bar right now, sort yourselves out for a ticket. Who else we got, mate? All right, our second guest this week is award-winging comedian, who recently supported Ricky Duvays, It's Bennett Aaron.
Starting point is 00:02:04 How's that? How was supporting Ricky? It wasn't that recent, but I keep saying it's recent. It was, yeah, it was great. And comedy's going well, although apparently I've never got booked for Chris's show.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Oh, no. That's just come up, a little bit awkward, isn't it, Chris? You've got space in February? I'm busy. Okay. Bennett, if you do, want to get along. I've heard you can get tickets for six pounds at the bar.
Starting point is 00:02:32 He told me eight. All right and our third guest runs the stand-up comedy club. It's Garif Morris. Thank you very much. Now if that's wrong, Garret, don't blame Maisie. I did write that down.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Or if it is right, then I think you can blame your own marketing because um well i thought you know the phrase like this is a stick up i called it this is a stand-up oh my god is that is that good i don't really know now that you've explained it i love it i shouldn't need to explain it and i'd like to say that yeah it's a pop-up comedy club we run them all around sort of command shares south wales and i have booked bennett so yeah he's booked me do you hit that chris he's booked me i've booked bennett he was good just saying but haven't said that though garris intro was so anti-climatic after supported ricky jibati
Starting point is 00:03:27 I did like when Macy said, award-winning comedian, you went, oh, that's not me. Oh, they've skipped one. All right, so the way the show works is I ask a relatively obscure trivia question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answers as well as the real one, and I have to guess which one is correct. Has everyone heard the show before?
Starting point is 00:03:49 Anyone not heard the show before? Bennett, you see, this is why you're not getting book for all the great gigs. You refuse to do your research. Sorry, I've heard it's good. From who? I enjoyed. So the first question, actually this first question,
Starting point is 00:04:15 I can't remember who wrote it. So after the Birmingham show last week, an audience member came up to me and said, do you know the Australian phrase, rattle your dags. And I said no. Anyway, the question is, what does the Australian phrase rattle your dags mean? So you've just got to come up with a fake definition for the Australian and New Zealand, I should say, Australasian phrase, rattle your dags. What if you know the right answer? Well, please pretend like you don't. I imagine you would though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:51 So while they're writing their answers Here's how the scoring works You're at one point If you 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 Now, your heart was not in that You don't have to do it
Starting point is 00:05:15 Just because of the clowns at all the other shows do You could be the first crowd he loves the house I'm just saying that's a possibility I don't want to force you either way but that was quite a long gap I'm okay I guess we'll boo so if you like you could just love the house I think that'd be a really cool thing for Swansea to
Starting point is 00:05:36 I'm wearing your hat that's not going to make any sense to listeners it's going to sound like I've come and taken the Swansea Town hat I mean, do you have a town hat? No, all right. So I'm also playing the house. I put into my own fake answers for each question
Starting point is 00:06:00 with the help of the question writers. And I get a point for each one of those that I guess choose as well. So each of us can actually scroll up to three points per round, which seems fair, but the probability actually favours me. The house. Fuck I love Swansea.
Starting point is 00:06:15 And that all seems pretty fair, but the probability actually favors me, the house and the house always wins off if you've listened to previous episodes obviously bennett hasn't uh you'll know that is not necessarily the case uh anyway our questions come from our great patron supporters apart from this one it comes from a random uh birmingham hamian um i think that's what they call themselves have you or you're waiting for them to get their answers to i have sent as it come through well no no i yeah i've got them okay great that's fantastic i'm like i was panicking that i was going to have to fill
Starting point is 00:06:46 and me doing the pre-arranged stuff was really struggling so I thought me going off book was going to be a real battle so yes if you want to submit a question sign up to the Patreon at any level Patreon.com slash to go on pod
Starting point is 00:07:02 which will be linked in the show notes any patrons in tonight okay all I heard there was about two thirds of this room are potential patrons What does rattle your dags mean? Here are your options.
Starting point is 00:07:20 It's to wash your testicles, usually in a sink or bowl of water. Rattle your dags. That's option one. Then you go, it's used when asking a tight ass to finally buy a round at the pub. Come on, mate, rattle your dags. Then you go, when your dad's testicle pops out
Starting point is 00:07:40 of his speedos and you give them a little tickle. Australian culture is actually really nice If you get to know it We Then you've got I hope you're hungry Because I've made lots of food
Starting point is 00:08:00 Rattle your dags, mate Hurry up, you're taking too long Or finally The shaking motion That the fatty bits on the arms make When you've really got your groove on Okay, Chris, what do you think? Any of those jumping out at you?
Starting point is 00:08:21 That last one, the rattle bit, it sounds like he needs to be aggressive. So I think if you're just gently washing your testicles in a sink, that's not going to be it. Mm, okay. Or tickling your dads. Yes. You don't want to do that aggressively. No. Now, respect where you came from.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Well, yes. That's true. But maybe, yeah, I guess, you know, they've served their purpose. Yeah? My mum might disagree. oh I just said that out loud that's filth before I came here
Starting point is 00:08:52 I dropped my kids off with my parents and my mum said oh what's the name of the podcast I'll have to check it out and now I'm now I'm gonna have to lie she might be rattling
Starting point is 00:09:03 your dad's tags right now so to speak so you're going for the the fatty bits of the hours yep all right great what are you thinking Gareth?
Starting point is 00:09:16 I think it's like the washing your bollocks one. That was an option, isn't it? Second one. Yes. I think it is the washing your bollocks one.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Rattley dags sounds like a... Yeah. Like if a woman goes to the gynecologist and they have like a swill, you know, it's an equivalent to that. Does that happen? I think.
Starting point is 00:09:32 We'll open the floor. I'll go with, yeah, washing the bollocks. Washing the bollocks? Fantastic. I think it's the Um, hurry up one.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Hurry up. Okay. Locking that in for Bennett. Here's who wrote the answers. It's really interesting to see what you think of Australian culture. When your dad's testicle pops out of his speedos and you give them a little tickle, that was Chris. Hang on. That's, yeah, that's got a different name.
Starting point is 00:10:12 When your tired-ass mate Finally buys a round That was the house I thought that would have been you No Because you're quite tight That's what she said Sorry how much were those tickets again
Starting point is 00:10:27 That's a generous giveaway Now The one about washing your bollocks Which Gareth went for That was Bennett Oh It seems so real I know.
Starting point is 00:10:44 So a point there for Bennett. Now, I like what some of the audience is doing there with the applause when I say that one of the guests has written the answer. If everyone could get on board with that. Sort of do it as a unit. I think that would be fantastic. Wrong time.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Now, see, that, I don't think you've fully followed my instruction now. Chris went for the shaking motion that the fatty bits on the arms make. That was Gareth. What? So I point there for Gareth, and that means that Bennett is correct. It is, uh, hurry up. You're taking too long. Did you know that genuinely, Bennett?
Starting point is 00:11:42 Did I generally know it? No. That's fancy. Because you did say at the start that you knew it. Oh, no, you have to know I lie a lot. Okay. Perfect for this show. So that means actually the Bennett...
Starting point is 00:11:56 Well, hang on, Macy. Why don't I let you do your job? What's the score after one round? Oh, my God, thank you so much. So at the moment, we've got Gareth coming in with one point. Chris, I'm sorry to say, nothing so far. Yeah, nice.
Starting point is 00:12:21 All right, and then also coming in with nothing, I'm afraid, is the house. We are warming up for pantomime season, aren't we? And then we've got Bennett coming in with two points. Fantastic. That's a hot start for Bennett. Yeah, well, this has been a lot of fun, so thanks. Question two comes from Jacobi Austin Dangel from Sacramento and California.
Starting point is 00:12:51 And Jacobi's question is, well, he just wants you to make up a fake species of bird. So you don't need to describe the species, just name it. You know, like a boring one would be pigeon. So I wouldn't do that. You want to make up one that's like, you know, the red, pigeon or you could be even more
Starting point is 00:13:11 creative than that if you have it in you but so you just got to come up with a species of
Starting point is 00:13:18 just the name of a fake species of bird while you're doing that here's more info about rattle your dags
Starting point is 00:13:25 the word history's website writes frequently used in the imperative as rattle your dags the New Zealand
Starting point is 00:13:32 and Australian sang phrase to rattle one's dags which is a way more British way of saying
Starting point is 00:13:37 it Come on, we must rattle ones, dags. It means to hurry up and get a move on. The New Zealand lexicographer and dictionary editor Robert Birchfield wrote in 1982 that a young New Zealand niece of mine recently said to her English host, Well, I suppose I'd better rattle my dags and be off. And the English host replied, None of you turn up language here.
Starting point is 00:14:03 What does that mean? I like it, but I have no idea. Do you think of us as turnips? Of the terms of origin, the Australian National Dictionary Centre writes that dags, this is, I mean, this just shows you how beautiful the Australian language is. Dags are clumps of matted wool and dung, which hang around a sheep's rear end. When a daggy sheep runs, the dried dags knocked together to make a rattling sound. So it's just like,
Starting point is 00:14:37 up shit. I had not heard this phrase until I was in Birmingham. I will say that. The answers are in. Question number two, which of these are real species of bird? Dracula parrot. Greater flocked whistle shag.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Fascistic Italian hunting owl. Cock of unusual size Pudamsty Did you just have a stroke Do you just have a stroke? Can you spell it? Pudamsti Is that
Starting point is 00:15:31 Pudamstee? Or finally Red Pigeon All right. Gareth, your turn first here, what are you thinking? I really think it's... They all seem quite plausible, especially red pigeon.
Starting point is 00:15:54 I reckon it's probably the first one was the first option again. Dracula parrot. I reckon it could be a Dracula parrot. Awesome. Why? I can imagine one with fangs. If I had one, I'd teach it loads of words.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Avant or thought, you know, wouldn't that be amazing? I'll go with that one. Bennett, what are you thinking? I reckon it's the second one. The Greater Flocked Whistle Shag. Yeah. All right, locked in for Bennett. Chris, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:16:26 What was the one you couldn't say? Well, I said them all, Chris. That was to imagine, gee, that would be dirty bull. the correct answer actually never said you were all wrong so Dracula parrot greater flock whistle shag fascistic
Starting point is 00:16:45 fascist fascist fascistic Italian hunting owl Belgian swoop cock of unusual size Pudamsti or red pigeon it was that one
Starting point is 00:17:00 I reckon this to Pudansky Pudansky Yeah, great. I don't know why. Well, you're about to find out. Okay. Can you feel the tension in the room building?
Starting point is 00:17:13 I'm taking this far too seriously, by the way. No, no, that's right. You're taking it the right way. They would be furious out there in the audience if you didn't. I threw Jenga at a toddler in half to. Today. No, in the summer holidays. Did the tower drop?
Starting point is 00:17:30 They pushed it over. It wasn't the time to go, so I will hit you. Okay, I don't think he was joking. There was a lot of detail in the end there. I think he heard a child. All right. Here's who wrote the answers. Red Pigeon, that was Maisie.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Cock of unusual size. That was Jacoby, okay, the house. A Belgian swoop was Chris. That's something great. The fascistic Italian hunting hour was also Jacoby, okay, at the house. Now, Bennett went for the greater flocked whistle shag. That was Gareth. Gareth also had the extra bit of info.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Now extinct. Not only is he making fake birds. He's also killing him off. Wiping him out. Then, okay. I'm so glad that Chris went for Poudamstey because I really thought I butchered Bennett's great work. That was Bennett.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Now, Bennett, obviously, I couldn't ask you how to pronounce it during the round. No. Give it things away. Was I anywhere near it? But I don't know. But what it is, Pudamstey, it's made up backwards. Oh, my God. You bastard.
Starting point is 00:19:01 I thought it was like a Russian ballet. I was so sure it was a Welsh place. That's real good stuff. Parding in plain sight. I love it. But that does mean that Gareth is correct. It's the Dracula parrot. No way.
Starting point is 00:19:24 He's getting a vial of my blood after this. I want to see a picture of it. Can we see a picture of it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'll find one way. you're writing your next answers. It could be a really good thing
Starting point is 00:19:36 to cover the cutting and pacing that is yet to come. I imagine it is going to be like really pasty looking and hanging upside down. Because if it isn't, I don't want to say it. Yeah, misnamed. I'll be furious, actually. So in that round,
Starting point is 00:19:51 Benner gets a point and Garth gets a couple of points. I'll get a score update from you in a second, Maisie. But in the meantime, here is question number three. This was written by Darthith Stone. Perfectly pronounced. Is that right? Dapheth.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Especially with the connotations about lilty noise as well. I did it be as a T-H in that. I only know because Dapheth wrote their name and then said pronounced Dapheth.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Second part Like with butt with a V. Oh like With, but with a V. Davith. And what did I say? Oh, well, you couldn't delete the Paws.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Oh, Darvith. What? Oh, Darvith. Fuck you. So, I mean, unfortunately, Darvith didn't help me out with the pronunciation of where. they're from, which is pencoeed. Shit.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Pencoid cumru. Pencoid. Pencoid. Pencoid? Pencoid. Pencoid. Yeah. Isn't that famous for just having a prison?
Starting point is 00:21:22 It's part prison in it, yeah. By the MacArthur Glen there, isn't it? Yeah. Not fans of shopping. You really don't know where they're going to go. Oh, dear. I'll turn on you for all sorts of stuff. Trostra.
Starting point is 00:21:38 How dare you not shop local, you bastard? Darfur's question is, what did Canadian pop star Justin Bieber tweet on the 19th of November 2009? That's very specific. Yes. What was the date again? Well, the date doesn't really mean.
Starting point is 00:21:55 It's just otherwise, you know, you could accidentally stumble upon a correct, this is just making sure there's only one correct answer. Okay. What did you basically just come up with a Justin? and Biber tweet. It really isn't specifically relevant to that specific date.
Starting point is 00:22:09 If it was a weekday, it might be something tame. Weekend, could be something crazy. Well, okay. I mean, our calendar fan at the back. What day of the week was the 19th of November 2009? Let's see how good he is. No, he's not even missing. Masey, do you want to give us a score update while they're writing their answers? Absolutely. So, coming in with
Starting point is 00:22:30 three points is Gareth. Thursday. Yeah. Chris, that'll be a Thursday. It's a Thursday week. And I would like to think he had to flick through analog calendars for that. I reckon he's got stacks under the bar.
Starting point is 00:22:56 So what have we got so far? Garathon 3? Garathon 3. And also coming in with 3, it's Bennett. And in joint place at the moment, Chris and The House still not got any points. I like how you're saving the losers to last. Now, while they're still writing these Bieber tweets, here's some more info about Dracula parrots.
Starting point is 00:23:25 I'm going to a wiki. I'm absolutely baffled by this audience. you respond weirdly to everything from questions of where in Australia and you say here to being offended at the mention of a shopping mall and now you're laughing at a bird type that we've discussed multiple times already you forgot about it
Starting point is 00:23:57 is this a normal sort of swanzy crowd it's better you should come to his show I don't laugh this much. So, according to a wiki, it's also known as Pesquay's parrot and the vulturine parrot, and it's endemic to
Starting point is 00:24:15 Hill and Montane rainforest in New Guinea. It's a large parrot with a total length of approximately 46 centimetre and a weight of 680 to 800 grams. Its plumage is black with greyish scaling
Starting point is 00:24:30 to the chest and a red belly, upper tailed coverts and wing panels. The adult male has a red spot behind the eye, which is not seen in the adult female. Compared to most of the parrots, it appears unusually small-headed.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It's a bit rough. In part, due to the bare black facial skin and the relatively long-hooked bill. Man, I want to see what this. That has painted a bizarre picture. The Dracula parrot is a highly specialized frugivore, which means it feeds
Starting point is 00:25:03 almost exclusively on a few species of figs. I think I've heard, I think I've seen this bird in Twilight. Oh. I can't believe you admitted to watching those films. Mate, I rewatch them the other day. Terrible. See the first one.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Oh. They're terrible. Watch the first one and followed it up with the rest. I watched them all the other day again. Terrible. Worst day of my life. Can I re-watch next week? Apparently, its feathers are highly prized.
Starting point is 00:25:35 This combined with high prices in agriculture has resulted in overhunting. Habitat loss also prevents an ongoing problem for these reasons. It's evaluated as vulnerable on the threatened species list. So finish with a bit of a fun fact there. After that breakdown, I can't wait for Attenborough to pass that you take over. Any day now. I think I said it with... I was sort of talking with a bit more energy than that.
Starting point is 00:26:09 We got a C-word. The answers are in for question number three. I forgot we were playing. Chris, give that bird five minutes at your next show. Come on. No, that's it. All right. Question number three, what did...
Starting point is 00:26:36 My pasting's like pretty good right now. What did Justin be between on the 19th of November 2009? Here are your options. I'm nothing without my fans. If you didn't believe in me, I wouldn't believe in myself. Option two. If chickens could say love me, love me, that would be awesome. Option three, I love all my believe.
Starting point is 00:27:03 but there's a special place in my heart for Jeffrey Epstein. Free holiday, y'all. That's the end of the same one. If you thought that was... Anyway, next up to great party of ditties last night. That you've got, if you can read this, you're my number one believer. Then you've got, people keep saying, you've changed, you've changed. I shit my pants, I had to change.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Or finally, Thursday, in it. Classic Canadian phrasing there. All right, Bennett, what do you think? do you know part of me thinks of the diddy one i'm not going to go with it just in case um i do no the second one second one chickens yeah chickens could say love me love me that would be awesome all right yeah locked in for bennett i'm going with that all right chris what are you thinking oh it's tricky we need to get you on the board here i know i'd love a point i quite fancied that one because he was quite that's very sweet of you but you still don't book me
Starting point is 00:28:33 A recent one, not from 20 years ago, Sport and Richard Jervais. Roast battle. What we're doing? I reckon, because he was like high as a kite, wouldn't he, at that point. I'm not a fan, I just remember him being mental. So it could be that one,
Starting point is 00:28:51 or the one about I'd be nothing without my fans. Because why would you admit a shit in yourself? We've all been there, and I've never admitted it. Well, I think, um... I don't think we... We haven't all been there, Chris. Have it you?
Starting point is 00:29:05 No. You know it's to smell, Bennett. So you're thinking chickens or you're thinking I'd be nothing with it? I reckon chickens is a rambling of a mad man. So I'm going to go for that. I'm going to lock that in. Locked chickens in. All right, Gareth.
Starting point is 00:29:21 I reckon he diddy, did he line. Did he? Did he, though? I reckon that's a Benin. Oh, you think he wrote? Yeah, yeah. He didn't go to a ditty party. Although he's all lubed up.
Starting point is 00:29:36 No. I reckon it's the believers what? There was two, weren't there? I think there were three. Three, okay. There was, if you didn't believe in me, I wouldn't believe in myself. There was, I love all my believers. And there was, if you can read this, you're my number one believer.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I reckon it's that you're my number one believer. Did you read it and believe? I did. It was after the number one. The baby error, I think he did this, isn't he? It was Eris. Eras, eras? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Yeah. I think it's that one. I'm learning a lot about Garretz tonight. Twilight and a Bieber fan. I don't want to be friends anymore. I have also got Aqua's first album. Oh, there's a banger. It is a bangor.
Starting point is 00:30:18 See? Yeah. Is that one with Timber Time? I'm going to, yes, it is. I'm going to a bleeper council next week. Do you want to come? No. Is that the one with Dr. Jones?
Starting point is 00:30:25 Yes. Oh, it's such a, it's such a great. Are they Australian? No, Norwegian. Close. Close. I mean, I think Norwegian feels, right? It was Aussie-coded.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Maybe Danish. I'll get back to you. All right, after I figure out, how about it? So here's I wrote the answers. Thursday, In It, that was Maisie. Come on. Normally you wouldn't rank audience members, but this guy front-row centre is by far
Starting point is 00:31:02 and away the best in-house tonight. What's your name, sir? Barney. Barney. Be more like Barney. I won't. No, no, no. People keep saying you've changed, you've changed.
Starting point is 00:31:18 I shit my pants, I had to change. That was actually Darfith. Great party at ditties last night. That was said by Chris. I love all my believers, but there's a special place in my heart for Jeffrey Epstein. That was Gareth. I like you all over it.
Starting point is 00:31:43 I like how Gareth is claiming darkness. I'm nothing without my fans. If you didn't believe in me, I wouldn't believe in myself. That was the house. Now, Gareth went for, if you can read this, you're my number one believer. That was Bennett. But that means that Bennett and Chris are correct.
Starting point is 00:32:10 If chickens could say, Love me, love me. That would be awesome. So, Bennett, again, two points. And also, Chris, a point there for you as well. Finally. Sorry, I got really excited. That was you really excited?
Starting point is 00:32:29 Finally. settle down mate all right we're at the halfway mark here's question number four this one's from James Raymond
Starting point is 00:32:40 from Newport Wales is that near here yes don't go there okay is James Raymond in yeah well don't go there fair enough James's question is
Starting point is 00:32:51 in the 1964 film Dr Strangelove what is the name of the character played by Sterling Hayden Dr Streepler If this is the question what is
Starting point is 00:33:02 the answer. I feel like I didn't explain things well enough to this audience. They've been confused at every moment. That's not the answer. The laughs have just been shocking. Sporadic.
Starting point is 00:33:20 But, you know, when they come, they've been quite nice. Sometimes baffling as well. Was that the answer? So you've just got to come up with the name. of a character from a 1964 film called Dr. Strangelove.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Sorry, could you say the question again, sorry? In the 1964... No, no, the Justin Bieber, what? No, I'm joking. In the 1964 film, Dr. Strangelove, what is the name of the character played by Sterling Hayden? And while you're writing your answers,
Starting point is 00:33:49 here's more info about Bieber's tweet. Well, actually, do you want to give us a score update? I absolutely. Thanks so much, Maisie. Do you want to start with the lowest just to get out of the way? You know what? I was going to change you out this time anyway. Don't even worry about it.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Coming in with zero points is the house. Thanks so much. Oh, we like the house now. Yeah, the support means a lot, actually. Coming in with one point, it's Chris. Next up we've got Gareth with three points. But leading the way It's Bennett with five points.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Absolutely. Storming it. While they're still right on their answers, here's some more info on Bieber's tweet. This is according to Davith. Despite his apparent compassion for chickens, Justin Bieber isn't actually vegetarian or vegan, but he has expressed that he apparently wants to explore vegan food more.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I'm not a big Bieber fan, so you'll have to take Google's word for that part, sorry, ha-ha. Thank you so much, Daffeth. So much mention of Google. Never heard about the site until now. Now, apparently he's still got chickens on the morn because I googled Justin Bieber Chickens. And this week, he was in the news with chickens.
Starting point is 00:35:22 According to L magazine, Justin Bieber begins his new album Swag 2 with a strong message. You can't stop him. And that's on the opening track Speed Demon. He makes it clear that he'll keep moving forward and achieving greatness despite facing public criticism and judgment. He even jabs that he's able to prove his haters wrong
Starting point is 00:35:41 with his music singing in one verse they try to say I'm out of my mind but now they're singing every line. I told him. But then the chorus, he says, quote, keep checking these chickens. And that's referring...
Starting point is 00:36:01 Apparently, it's not that clear to me, but apparently that's him referring to his critics. He says, keep checking these chickens. I achieve greatness, getting better by the second. I think if you hear the song, it's actually really moving. But, hey, oh, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. All right, we're back. Here is question number four in the 1964 film Dr. Strangelove. What is the name of the character played by Sterling Hayden?
Starting point is 00:36:42 Here are your options. Shepshagger. Chief strategic manager, Steve Clark. Brigadier General Jack DeRipper. Kent C. Strait. Keith the Gardner or Admiral Shitbutt. Okay, Chris, we're back to you.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Oh, what's the... Hey, you were the answers. You're waiting for the real one, no. I was. What's your job title? Do I say it? A comedian. No, huh?
Starting point is 00:37:24 Because one of them just smelt like Gareth. Oh, Chief Strategic Manager. Yeah. Or Jack the Ripper. The Chief. Chief Strategic, whatever. Yeah. So, Shep Shagger,
Starting point is 00:37:36 Chief Strategic Manager, Steve Clark, Brigadier General, Jack De Ripper, Kent C. Strait, Keith the Gardner, or Admiral shitbutt. I reckon,
Starting point is 00:37:48 what was the first one you said? Which wasn't the first one? It was the third one, actually, which is a weird way of saying that. Brigadier General Jack de Ripper? Oh, no, Jack Ripper. No, I can't be, couldn't it, because he's in the other,
Starting point is 00:38:01 program. What? The murders? Yeah. He's done loads. There's loads of series on the history channel about it. No one knows who he is.
Starting point is 00:38:08 So it wouldn't be that guy. Okay. For a start, would it? Because we don't know. Could be a coincidence. Yeah, could be, but it's a copyright issue. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Jack the Ripper is not Winnie the Pooh. Actually, it's over 100 years to be out of a date. Interesting factor. Should we start a sitcom? No. I'm sorry. I wasn't looking at the urns.
Starting point is 00:38:34 I just felt like it was rude to ask you to repeat for him for a third time. Shep Shagger, Chief Strategic Manager, Steve Clark, Brigadier General Jack DeRipper, Kent C. Strait, Keith the Gardner, Admiral Schipubb. I reckon Kent C. Strait, because it's got that, like, cheeky, 60s, carry-on vibe. Okay, Kent C-Strait locked in. What do you think, Gareth? If I go for my own answer. You cannot do that.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Fuck. I thought I'd get a point. I will go for Kent C-Straight as well. All right, locked in. You've got Keitha Gardner all over here. What do you think? It's that euphemism? Do you know what?
Starting point is 00:39:18 I'm going to go with the Brigadier Jack DeRipper. All right. Locked in for Bennett. Here's the right. The answers. Shep Shagga, that was the house. Because I heard you like to. Shag sheep here, but I, um, no, that's, I've, I've heard that's what,
Starting point is 00:39:36 is that what British people think about Australians, right? No. No, New Zealand. Oh, good, because it's not, it's not true. That's good, yeah, it's good you don't think that. It'd be stupid if you did. We all, we all, we all, is it in New South Wales with sexier sheep? Yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:39:56 No, it is, in Australia, it's New Zealand, but I, I had been told that in, in the UK, uh, that stereotype is about Australians, but not so. No. You also know it's New Zealanders. All right. They don't actually. But if they wanted to, they could, because they've got a lot of sheep there.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Does that mean? Do New Zealand comments go like, because we often go at a hacker, if you do a gig in England, you get like sheep-noised? So do New Zealand comments get like, mad? I think they would have probably in the older days. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:24 But, you know, we've all matured and we respect. Admiral's shit butt was the beauty. Beautiful work of Ben and Aaron. That doesn't spell anything backwards, I checked. Now, Keith the Gardner, that was Chris. You, I thought you sort of tried to, you tried to a bit of gameplay there, which I enjoyed. Chief, now, Chris, I think you were bang on with this one.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Chief Strategic Manager, Steve Clark, you thought that sounded a bit like Gareth, right? You were right, that was Garrett. It is not my job title. You both, Chris and Garrette, went for Kent C-Strait. I'm afraid that was actually written by James Raymond from Newport. Oh, James! Another reason to hate Newport.
Starting point is 00:41:22 But that means Bennett is correct. The real answer is Brigadier General Jack Derripper. So two points for the house there. Do you understand what's going on here? I was worried that I was under-explanning, but now I'm over-explaining. Listen, my pasting isn't good, but my point scoring. Yeah, fantastic. All right, so we're up to the penultimate question.
Starting point is 00:41:49 This one comes from Mac from Belfast in Northern Ireland, and the question is, what happened in the Staffordshire University on the 27th of February 2009? Geez, another 2009 question. Did everybody react to Justin Bieber's tweet? Shit, I should have kept that to myself. We can edit it out if you can do it. And actually, it'll probably hit harder now that you've set it up.
Starting point is 00:42:17 All right, so yeah, it's just something happened that made the news, something at Staffordshire University in February of 2009. What happened? And while you, oh, do you want to get a score update? get a score update in there okay what is your what is your accents you're not welsh no i've known maisie for a long time but only just finding out now you're not welsh what are but are you from is telling them near welsh no near welch near welch is this the only reason you got me on this one because you thought i was welsh he thought you were local instead of two hours away
Starting point is 00:42:59 To be honest, no, that's not why. It's because I think you're a fantastic paster. Your reputation, sort of... It's going on my CV. Yeah. What is the score update? All right. So, do you want it low to high?
Starting point is 00:43:16 Oh, that'd be great. Great. Oh, you could do it on shuffle, whatever you are. All right, so with one point, it's Chris. And then coming in with two points, it's the house. Oh, I'm not liking the house anymore. That was all, and all two points came from James Raymond's fake answer there. Thank you, James.
Starting point is 00:43:49 And then coming in with three points is Gareth. Now, if I remember correctly, Gareth got those three points very early. and I've absolutely stalled it since. And then coming in with six points leading the way is Bennett. Really? Playing I reckon he's got the feeling that Bennett is playing in a different game to us. And the thing is, he's the furthest away from the laptop.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Oh, what do you think? means he could probably he could be Googling over there is that what you're thinking? Oh yeah. Googling what exactly? Google my own made-up answers. Yeah, Google.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Sorry, have you heard of Google? No, is it on the internet? I think he can't get over there now. How do I look it up? Ask Jeeves. So here's some more info about Dr. Strangelove. James writes, the movie was supposed to be a drama.
Starting point is 00:44:56 The international climate of the early 1960s piqued Stanley Kubrick's interest in writing and directing a nuclear war thriller, Kubrick began consuming piles of literature on the topic until he came across former Royal Air Force Officer Peter George's dramatic novel, Red Alert. Columbia Pictures optioned the book and Kubrick began translating the bulk of the novel into a script. During the writing process, however, the director found himself struggling to escape a persistent comedic overtone because he found the vast majority of the political calamities described in the story to be inherently funny.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Eventually, Kubrick abandoned the idea of fighting the adaptation's dark sense of humor and embraced it wholeheartedly. There you go. That's interesting, not particularly probably interesting for a live show. Normally, I didn't, I don't think I pre-read that. I was really hoping it was going to be a funny fact at the end. But, all right, here is question number five. What happened in Staffordshire University on the 27th of Feb, 2009?
Starting point is 00:45:57 I'm saying Staffordshire right. Yeah. Oh, how about that? Here are your options. There was a sit-in protest over a popular student failing to get their degree by one point. Eventually, the paper was remarked and they passed. Option two, dance champion Phil the Power Taylor
Starting point is 00:46:15 lost his world title trophy in a bet with Robbie Williams. Option three, in 2009, a new course was created at Staffordshire University, a B.S.C. in vampire parrot and chicken studies. Bieber tweeted his enthusiasm later that day. Option four. A dog got into the lecture hall so big that the police that came to remove it were told that it was a horse. This became known as the Stoke Horse Fars.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Up to five, University alumni, Roy, Chubby Brown guest lectured on a third year equality and diversity which resulted in a protest causing chaos and mild injuries or finally the rapper Coolio was performing he attempted a stage dive but no one caught him and then he was robbed of his jewelry while
Starting point is 00:47:17 concussed on the ground okay Gareth what do you think You got protests over a student failing, Darth's champion, Phil the Power Taylor, losing his trophy to Robbie Williams. I've got the vampire parrot horse.
Starting point is 00:47:36 You got the dog that's the size of a horse. Roy Chubby Brown or Coolio. I really want it to be the dog. I think it's a Coolio one. Coolio. All right. Locking in? Yeah, I've got to lock in Coalio.
Starting point is 00:47:48 All right, locked in. There's just so many. What do you think, Bennett? Yeah, I think it's either the, the first one, which is dull, but I think it might be the student knock out of the grade or the Coorio one also. I'm going to go with Coalio.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Go with Coolio. Two Coalios. You can go Coalio as well. Chris, you can go your own way. It's going to be really boring if I do that. Even though I know for a fact, it's probably right because in 2009 at my second year, Fresh as Bore, Coalio performed live,
Starting point is 00:48:18 so he's probably doing the circuit then. If we've got multiple coolios, are we a gangster's paradise? that is the collective man now you're saying you think this is right and you're still mulling over which one to go for yeah i feel like you've got you've got some good intel there yeah i'm gonna go yeah but my one with the dog though i that is proper i would be impressed with that yeah yeah yeah i yeah i yeah i think is not right was right yeah and the result it's been interesting strategy The results one is pure bullshit
Starting point is 00:48:54 because I work in a uni and results come in July so if someone's chasing a reset in February they deserve to fail because they've had months to sort it out but yeah I'm going to go Culeo.
Starting point is 00:49:05 All right, three Coolios here's the answer. That one that you think was absolute nonsense and absolutely tore it to part about the university that was Bennett. Oh!
Starting point is 00:49:22 Jeez, you must feel foolish now. A little best kid. Chris, tore you to shreds there. I just take my work really seriously. The one about Darth's champion Phil the Power Taylor. That was Mack, aka the question, aka the house. I was unsure about it. I thought that was you.
Starting point is 00:49:39 I thought it was going to be that one, actually. I honestly thought that was you. The one about the new course about vampire parrots and chicken studies, that was Gareth. The one about the horse-sized dog, that was also Mac, okay, the house. The one about Roy Chubby Brown, that was Chris. Is that true? Is he actually alum? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I just said it was true. It sounded convinced. Yeah, I was convinced by it. How do you know about all the alum? But that means you three are all correct. It was Culeo getting knocked out and being robbed. Is that sort of known as a rough uni? He just walked through the valley of the shadow of death
Starting point is 00:50:34 and he's just one. I think you need less than a moderate amount of UCAS points to get in, so I'd say yes. Okay. Okay, I understood that. We've got staffordshire people here. Question six, the final. question. This comes from Jim Bates from Sackett's Harbour in New York
Starting point is 00:50:56 and the question is, what is the synopsis of the 1982 movie Raw Force? That sounds like something I'd watch and he could go either way. Was it after or before 11pm? So you've got to come up, this would be your longest answer. This would be like a paragraph long.
Starting point is 00:51:16 What is the synopsis of the 19892 film, Raw Force? Raw Force. Raw Force. Raw force. And this is worth triple points, by the way. Oh, no, hang on. I was doing really well.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Can I see a copy of your complaints procedure? I can have a protest over this. All right, Maisie. What's the scores going to the final round? All right, so tied, we've got The House and Chris with two. At four points we're coming in is Gareth But topping at the moment It's Bennett with seven points
Starting point is 00:52:03 All right Here's some more info about the Cullio incident This is for the digital spy Daniel Kilkelly writes Rapper Coolio crashed to the ground at a gig this week after crowd surfing or attempting to crowd surfed at least the former celebrity big brother contestant
Starting point is 00:52:27 what a brutal waiter why are they doing that to him the former celebrity big brother contestant was performing at the Staffordshire University Students Union when he left off the stage despite encouraging
Starting point is 00:52:44 the star to attempt the stunt, that is rough. So the audience is going, yeah, we got you. Yeah, cool, yeah, we got you. Despite encouraging him to attempt the stunt, it is believed that most students moved out of the way when he jumped. Holy shit. Apparently, the barman there, James Fielden,
Starting point is 00:53:08 told the Daily Star, he nearly flattened one poor girl. Then all the students, decided to launch on him. They grabbed whatever they could, including his trainers, watch chains and glasses. He was pulled back on stage by the bounces, and they were also able to get his shoes back.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Coolio was involved in a nightclub fracker in Barnsley earlier this month, after audience members threw plastic bottles and ice cubes at him while he performed. Geez, England doesn't know how to treat him. I love how they say audience members. and it's probably like 12 people. Mack, the question writer, writes,
Starting point is 00:53:50 I went to this university and it was a source of pride for us. He says, Jason Derulo played Keel, our local rivals. Is that he said, would you know, keel? Yeah. He played keel, our local rivals, and when asked why he didn't play staffs,
Starting point is 00:54:08 he said, I heard what you did to Coolio. He said, that's really not okay. So there you go. Are you still thinking of crowd surfing after this? Yes, yes. I know in Swansy. Is that where we are?
Starting point is 00:54:29 Cardiff. Swampus. Just before the show started, Bennett goes, you got to say, It's so good to be in Cardiff. And I said, I will. He said, no, no, no, no, don't. All right, these guys will get it.
Starting point is 00:54:48 They're fun. Well, Bennett was right. You are not fun. All right. All right. Here are your options. Final question. What is the synopsis of the 1982 movie,
Starting point is 00:55:03 Raw Force? A gritty post-apocalyptic action thriller set in the scorched wastelands of a future America ravaged by nuclear war and ruled by brutal warlords. when a rogue military unit known only as raw force I was wondering when that was going to come up emerges from the ruins its leader a one-eyed ex-commando named Hawk Mason
Starting point is 00:55:27 played by a grizzled Robert Forster leads his band of renegades on a mission to dismantle the tyrannical iron dominion and restore hope to the scattered survivors Sounds like Cardiff. Does it sound like Carth? For the listeners, someone at the back room said,
Starting point is 00:55:53 sounds like Cardiff, sort of talking about it being a scorch waste land. And then in the front row, the English person from Cardiff did a reverse bird. Option two, the brutal murder of his brother and his...
Starting point is 00:56:13 You really don't know what's going to tickle him. Who are your audience? I said following the brutal murder of his brother and someone just pissed themselves. Brutal murder. That's good stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:34 It's the first time they've laughed. Following the brutal murder of his brother and his family by, oh. If you like the brother dying, wait till you see the rest of his family. This was done by a local gang. This is when Sheriff. Chuck Norris seeks revenge.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Obviously played by. But will his knowledge of martial arts be enough to defeat the vicious ninjas? Okay. That's option two, option three. A group of martial artists board a chop. they really like nouns I think a group of martial artists
Starting point is 00:57:20 board a tropical cruise to the mysterious Warriors Island unaware it's home to undead fighters resurrected by evil monks who feast on kidnapped women to harness their power when a sinister ex-Nazi and his hippie lackeys hijacked the pleasure crews in a bid to deliver
Starting point is 00:57:40 fresh victims to the monks in exchange for Jade, the tourists are forced to fight for their lives against kung fu zombies. And that's next week on EastEnders. So that's option number three, four, three. From the producers who brought you Commander, raw force, former Marine and recent, recently divorced Alex Loder, Axl Loder, I've jumbled that in my brain.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Not super important, I don't think, but anyway, former Marine and recently divorced Axle Loder has lost everything and he's about to lose more. He's going to go into deficit. When members of a former team go missing, Axel must pull himself back into an action to figure out a way, find his missing team, and find himself along the way. Or finally, after five years of brutal whipping and non-lubricated fisting
Starting point is 00:58:55 in a Vietnam prison camp, because loop was hard to come by. Cummers spelled the way you're imagining. Steve Hank, played by Timothy Shamelope, very... A very, a very, very young Timothy Champlain. Steve Hank embraces his captors and must overcome Stockholm syndrome. Simultaneously, James, played by Vin Diesel,
Starting point is 00:59:27 and Barney Idriselba, must rescue their brother Steve aided by their trusty pet, Skippy, a vampire parrot. Based on a true story. Okay, Bennett. What are your records? It was Timothy Sholomey, you said on the...
Starting point is 00:59:48 Yeah. It was like 50. Wow. In 1982. Yeah, apart from that one, they could all... I would watch them all. Yeah. I've seen two of them.
Starting point is 01:00:00 I think it's... Ooh. I... I reckon... It's the Nazi thing, whatever that was. Nazi, yeah, ex-Nazi, yep. That's the cruise. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:21 All right, locked in for Bennett. What do you think, Chris? I don't think it's Nazi monks, because I think Kung Fu's really 70s. Okay. Yeah, I'm trying to be logical about this. Yeah. It's not the final of the chase.
Starting point is 01:00:31 We don't need to be this logical, but that's fine. No, I think that's the first one. The first one was the one about Cardiff. I mean the one about the scorched wastelands That is That is I've got a feeling about that
Starting point is 01:00:49 Because I feel out Was the one about a parrot? Yes There was I can't see it I need glasses The final one was about The vampire parrot
Starting point is 01:01:00 Which has Timothy Shamillay in it In 19802 That was written by Chatbot GBT Like a lot of his material So that's Gareth So I think Do you say jealous?
Starting point is 01:01:20 Don't be jealous of my material? No one is. I don't want to do your gig, Chris. What a twat, I know. But it's cheap. It's cheap. Number one. or the Chuck Norris one, because he was big then.
Starting point is 01:01:41 What was the description of the Chuck Norris one? The Chuck Norris one was, uh, he, oh, that was where his family got killed and he, he sought revenge. That's classic Chuck. That's classic Chuck.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Classic Chuck. Um, just the fact that the other one was overly detailed, we're like pop, poplicked it wasteland. I can't even say it either, so that doesn't help. I'm going to go with Chuck Norris.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Chuck Norris, all right. Locking that in for Chris. gareth that that leaves just you when i get over my offence i yeah so do you write material on chapter gp too is that well done i genuinely don't know i write songs so when they start whipping nose fuckers out
Starting point is 01:02:24 i'll use them um that's funny but i mean i imagine it would you couldn't do that because it's it would be awful oh no yeah did or no that oh sorry i just realized that's what chris was saying about your material i know i don't know i did that i'm sorry That was really rude, Chris. It was. You've turned this whole room. I know.
Starting point is 01:02:42 I know. That negative. It's like that the first Thursday of every month. It's fine. No one day. You don't sell tickets. Well, you get to see your amazing emcee, Chris. The bastard.
Starting point is 01:02:56 Tickets are now two pounds. I don't think it's post-apocalyptic. And that's because it requires a budget for scorched earth. And then the 19. 80s there wasn't much there but it was filmed in Mertha it was filmed in Murtha now that would make sense
Starting point is 01:03:16 what's the one like about a robot was it second one not that I recall no no no you might even second one was Chuck Norris one there second one's Chuck Norris yep the Commando one is third one's the ex
Starting point is 01:03:31 Nazi cruise I think it why would it be me because you you get off on on Schwarzenegger I think it's I mean, it is his best film ever. See? But I think it would be too obvious for me to go for it,
Starting point is 01:03:44 so I didn't go for it. So I went for something else. Oh, well, I'm not going to go for it just in case you suggest that I don't go for it by giving some sort of way. If I had gone for it, I had been livid because Matt butchered the fuck out of it, didn't they? Which one did I butcher?
Starting point is 01:03:58 Chris, it's one. It's not mine. I wrote the... Oh, I'm not telling me. It's my turn, but yeah, go on. Come on, Gareth. Lock someone in here. go i think it is the monks one i'm going to go for that monks yeah yes all right locking monks for
Starting point is 01:04:16 gareth here we go here's who wrote the answers uh the one that has a very very young pre-birth timothy timothy chamollay shallamee that was gareth The one about Axel Loder. That was Chris. It was. Is that the one I butchered? I mean, if you go back and look what you wrote, I think I read it word for word.
Starting point is 01:04:53 No, you didn't. I forgot to repaste in a bit. I took out. Okay. Because I said Dolph Ludgren in brackets as the character, which I thought would have sold it, but it didn't.
Starting point is 01:05:03 So never mind. It's not too late to change your answer, Gareth. I didn't go with that one, did I? No. I've got it now The post-apocalyptic action thriller The first one That was Jim the question
Starting point is 01:05:15 I'm okay the house No one for that Chris went for Chuck Norris Avenging the death of his family That was Bennett And that means the one with evil monks Ex-Nazis and hippie lackeys Bennett
Starting point is 01:05:36 And Gareth went for that And that is correct. All right. All right. Well, Macy's, so that's triple points out round, Macy. While Macy's adding up the scores, just quickly, not enough critics have reviewed it to give it a Rotten Tomato score. But the audience has, and they don't like it, 41% approval rating from the audience.
Starting point is 01:06:01 And a brief review from Dennis Schwartz reads, it deservedly received little recognition. all right mazie what's the final scores lowest highest oh you do you do how have you like but I think that's not a bad way that's a classic for a reason well we've got a tie in last place
Starting point is 01:06:20 last place with two points it's Chris and the house yes and then and then with seven points It's Gareth.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Oh, well done. A good score. Good score. But a better score. It's 13 and that's what Bennett got. Amazing. Absolutely. Romped at home, Bennett.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Start to finish. Yeah, so the moral is never listen to the program we're about to do. Before we go, where can people find you? I'm here. You're not, I've not booked you. I'm about to... Well, two things.
Starting point is 01:07:17 First of all, I do a podcast about dementia with the actress Tanya Franks called Remember to Listen, which people seem to really enjoy and helps people who are family members and friends with dementia. And also I'm about to tour my show called I regret this already, which did well at the end of a festival, and I'm about to tour that around the country so people can see through my website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok,
Starting point is 01:07:37 and MySpace. Awesome. Hello. Gareth, how about you? So, yeah, you can find me on Facebook and Gareth P. Morris on Facebook. I'm on Instagram. Gareth P. Comedy.
Starting point is 01:07:53 I'm also working on my very first book. It's called The New Comedians Handbook. It's going to be out sometime next year now. Awesome. Check them guys out. I know. Yeah, I know. Obviously, you'll have something pretty exciting here.
Starting point is 01:08:10 It's got to be a book or a national tour. What do you got, Chris? Six pound tickets. Six pound tickets. I will be supporting Bennett on his tour and opening for Gareth. And I've written a forward for his book, which I just found out about. No, I am here every Thursdays day of the month. So if you want to grab tickets, that's great.
Starting point is 01:08:31 But if you want to find me online, I am Chris. No, I'm not. I am Chris. I am at Chris underscore Barnet with a Z on Instagram, or the Chris Barnes comedian on Facebook because there's a few in America so I thought I'd just steal the official tag.
Starting point is 01:08:43 I think that's great. Now, Scott, who managed this bar, told me to give you shit about your low Instagram follower account. Fuck you, Scott! But, oh, what a great opportunity. Look, you got 60-odd people here right now. Why doesn't everyone follow them now
Starting point is 01:09:02 and really, like, what, triple you can't? It's not even mine I wound up about it. It's for the night here, for the Rose Gallery Comedy Club, which is also on Instagram and Facebook. And, Maisie, how about you? Oh, me? So you work mainly behind the scenes at the Weekly Planet? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Thank you. Matt thought you already had enough comediency. You know what I need? An editor. We definitely need one. You'll have to talk to James. You can go follow at the Weekly Planet Clips channel that I make with Royal Collings and Fidel and Sarabi.

Starting point is 01:10:16 So there's a, yeah, you, dog quill. Oh, the old on-off button trick. Hell for it again. God damn it. This isn't the show, don't worry about it. This bit's still free. Anyone's worried? I've just realized you can all see my screen.
Starting point is 01:10:37 which is where all the answer. You should not be watching that with an audience. Oh, well, hang on. Hang on. We've all got our little quirks, mate, all right, and mine's very specific. That doesn't turn you on at all. Gerbils?
Starting point is 01:10:53 The Google search page? I mean, the opportunities and the... It could be anything. That's how hot it is. Do you have you ever used it? Whatever you type in, any fantasy, it'll show it to you. Google, I'll have to check it out afterwards. Fair play my heart.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Worth a look. All right. Innovator. Thank you. All right. So are you all ready for the show to start? Yes. Now Quill, are we recording?
Starting point is 01:11:22 Man, this is so weird. Normally, I have to... Quill hasn't done everything, apart from turn on my mic. So I'm feeling like I haven't done something. Every other venue so far I've had to press record, but you've done that. Quill, you're a beautiful person.
Starting point is 01:11:36 Thank you so much. Was that you, Quill? Fucking hell, even his voices got me going. All right, so when let's start the show and you, because this is now, none of this is for anyone but us in the room, but the rest is for the tens of people who listen at home. Who knows, it could be even more than that. No, we'll be, all right.
Starting point is 01:12:04 So you want to get a bit of a vibe going, we'll start? whenever you do that I'll start listen Matt I don't want to throw this kerple at you okay but it's not letting me paste it's not letting you paste it's not letting me paste it okay hang on go this guy no I did that okay oh okay now guys don't worry we
Starting point is 01:12:24 really plan this yeah we should have probably checked if you could paste yeah I couldn't just otherwise I can just you can just I can just show you these yeah and it won't look suss at all so is this this is what I've been missing
Starting point is 01:12:43 but not listening to the podcast I would say a lot of this is probably edited out um is he reading our answers is he allowed to do that am I allowed to read the answers I'm not sure
Starting point is 01:12:58 yes you are sorry so that was a genuine question well don't worry this is all part of the plan. Now, when you say you recently supported Ricky Javais, how long how long ago are we
Starting point is 01:13:14 talking? 20 years. No, it was, uh, six years ago. Oh, that's, yeah, that's recent. Oh, is that okay? Yeah, I think that's fine. Okay, then eight. Although, that is pre- it's within living memory. Yeah. It was a pre-COVID world.
Starting point is 01:13:30 Yeah. He hadn't started as a stand-up, but it's so good. that's so good and when's the next show on in here that is a great question when is the first Thursday in October second it's the second of October she's got a real calendar fan at the back I know that was ready to go Scott does all the admin how we're looking we pasting we're pasting oh my God things are going to go so smooth from here Now, anyone got any questions out there? What part of Australia are you from?
Starting point is 01:14:13 What part of Australia am I from? Melbourne, as someone said there. Yeah, well, what part of, where are you from? I'm from here, but I've got a lot of family there. Oh, you're from here. Oh, you wanted to know if I'd know one of the other people. Do you know my Aunt Betsy? Is that anywhere near a Welsh accent, that?
Starting point is 01:14:36 No. Offensive enough. I've got to just remind you once more I'm wearing the hat. Where is your family from? Me. No, I was opening that up to an entirely different person. They're from Swansea. Your family from Australia?
Starting point is 01:15:09 No, that's from Beth. I'm confused. Can I just double check? Are you okay? All right, don't worry, the answers are in. I might have to talk to you again, though. So the question is, what does the Australasian phrase, something that your family from Swansea might be familiar?
Starting point is 01:15:33 How's that cutting and pasting going? Really good. We are two-thirds of the way of that. Oh, my God. Control C, control V. The, but, yeah, that's sort of like base level stuff. What Macy's doing is pacing without formatting. Fair play.
Starting point is 01:15:58 Yeah. Live on the edge. Yeah, yeah, well. But in my defense, I've just got a message from Chris saying, my dad's testicles is this after the answer it was like the picture
Starting point is 01:16:11 all right so the answers are in is that what I'm hearing one second yes two seconds what was your answer that's a good question

Starting point is 01:18:30 which is a short I think six hour flight from Melbourne so I might have bumped into them at the shops we have to travel to do our
Starting point is 01:18:39 big weekly shop whereabouts in Perth what's their names I hope I know them I really really hope I know them yes I'm talking to you Cameron
Starting point is 01:18:54 Steven you're making that up Cameron Stevens. If you're making that up, that's a pretty dull attempt at a fake name. You've just seen people make up fake names including Didy's Party? Oh no, that's not too far back. Keith the Gardner. So, yeah, all right.
Starting point is 01:19:24 Well, okay. Let's talk more to number one. What, what brings, are you from Swansea? No, I'm actually from Cambridge. Cambridge. I just did a show in Cambridge. You did, yeah. You thought, you thought too easy.
Starting point is 01:19:42 I have a friend out here. Oh, I have a friend out of it. Why didn't you make him come to you for the Cambridge show? Yeah. Serious question. Okay. All the answers are in. Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:58 Don't worry. I got your back. Thank you. All right. Well, they're still writing. This is a hard one to write. This is a longer one. Anyone got any questions for me?
Starting point is 01:20:07 Or should we delve deeper into this man's family? Why is it called the Dracula parrot? It's in South blood? Why is it called the Dracula parrot? That's a great question. Because it looks emo as fuck. Yeah, there is someone about it, right? It looks like it's bleeder.
Starting point is 01:20:23 Okay. Well, then wouldn't it be a Dracula's victim parrot? This Dracula's parrot's just bleed of the whole blood piece you suck it. Okay. The way the guy said that sounded like a Culeo song. It's just Dracula's parrot. I don't know for words. Dracula's parrot, name origin.
Starting point is 01:20:45 I'm doing this on Google. The Dracula parrot, this is according to the AI overview. So you can tell you with a grain of salt, but it says, the Dracula parrot name originates from its striking black. and red plumage, resembling a vampire's cape and its goth-like or vulture-like appearance with a bald, dark face.
Starting point is 01:21:08 The name highlights its dark, gothic look, although it's dyed of figs. It's strictly frugivorous and not carnivorous. Frugivorous. I've never heard of that before. Is that, that's fruit only? It's fruit. Freivorous. You'll buy that.
Starting point is 01:21:28 You don't know. have to buy it I'll buy that I wasn't trying to convince you amazing they're really mean here no they're still typing any other questions when was I meant to press the record button
Starting point is 01:21:49 when were you meant to press a record button you know what I was I was just thinking I hope he didn't bother um so you know don't worry about it one in it'll save me dragging it over to the bin thanks so much for having me here it really is good to be in cardiff um I I wish I could think is there a problem you you guys don't like Cardiff really There's a rivalry like Australia and the rest of the world Yeah, right
Starting point is 01:22:32 Yeah, okay, I'll see that now Do you think about Carth as the way you think about New Zealand? I love New Zealand There you go So you love Cardiff No No No
Starting point is 01:22:49 Dead wrong actually Dead wrong, okay But Cardiff's the bigger one right? yeah so it's probably more like what new zealand thinks of austral oh we go political what was that government money and as my partners always say bigger isn't always better that's true that is true
Starting point is 01:23:16 it's what you do with the bay yeah this is going to be fun are there anyone is anyone else here got a small Oh, no. Show of hands. No, similar question. Anyone here from Cardiff?
Starting point is 01:23:34 Yeah. Yeah, I appreciate you making the trip out. How does it feel to know? I mean, it's nice to be thought of, I guess. Oh, you do feel the same. I would have thought that you wouldn't have thought about it much, but no, you do. Are you enjoying all that extra political money
Starting point is 01:23:53 that I've heard so much about? I'm English She's English, get her. Coloniser! Yeah, get her. Third paste on. Third paste on, all right. Great, because it's a shame
Starting point is 01:24:12 I thought we were really getting somewhere then. Here is the final question. I have been noticing, I've been like, sometimes I'll do a little bit of little needling of the audiences I've been travelling around thinking British people love a bit of banter, a bit of two and forth,
Starting point is 01:24:30 they really don't. I feel like I'm hurting people's feelings wherever I go. I thought I was trying to get involved in the culture. I don't know if you've seen the news recently, but generally it seems like British people just don't like foreigners.
Starting point is 01:24:42 Oh, yes. That could just be it. Did you come in on a boat? I was wondering what, someone did paint a St. George's cross on me the other day, but I was wondering, what that was about. If it did it upside down,
Starting point is 01:24:55 it'd still be a George Cross, won't it? That Australia joke, terrible. You can cut that. Really cut that. All right, we can start recording now. Have you, Gareth,
Starting point is 01:25:09 you've got it all out of your system, mate? We can... Okay. It's got to be nothing but gold from now on Gareth, all right? Okay. No pressure. Yeah, Chris.
Starting point is 01:25:23 Cheers to tuning into who knew with Matt Schoen, now that you know it, I've been Matt's show it. Goodbye. All right, so that was a great run through now. Let's do it for real. Here we go. I'm going to have a quick break.
