Starting point is 00:00:00 Melbourne, Australia in the year 2026. I'm doing a show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. It is on at the Cooper's Inn, 6.30pm. What a great time for comedy. And we can have a beer after. Hang around, let's have a beer. It's at a pub. It's going to be a great time. I'm doing new material with my great friend Serengyamana in a show called Serenji Amarna and Matt Stuart. Matt Stewart and Serengyamana featuring Serenjiamana and Matt Stewart or something like that. You get the idea. Anyway, it's going to be a bunch of fun. I'd love to see you there.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Oh my God, it's the titular Matt Stewart. And yes, I'm so excited to say that the 200th episode is now on sale. It's going to be on the 27th of June at the basement comedy club in Melbourne. And the tickets are on sale now. The Patreon pre-sale has been running for a few days. So a bunch of the tickets are already sold. So jump on now. If you're keen to come.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Can't wait to see you there. They're going to be huge guests, and it's going to be a whole lot of fun. But now, let's get on with the show. Welcome to Who New with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart. Now, first guest is from many things, including Mako Mermaids. Thank God you're here. And Comedy Republic, something good.
Starting point is 00:01:26 It's Amy Ruffle. Hello. Thanks for having it. Oh, a little round of applause. I don't know. You're a Maco Mermaids? Yeah. That's so sick.
Starting point is 00:01:34 That's so sick. I was a mermaid. That's awesome. Well, for me, it's fun for people to look at, but shooting it was a nightmare. It was hell being those mammaries. It was. It turns out humans shouldn't be underwater that much. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Without use of your legs, I guess, too. No, use of legs. You can't wear goggles, which is a huge bummer. That would be really funny to have mermaids and goggles. It would be a better look. But often my character, she made jewelry. She was an entrepreneur. And so I'd have to go collecting shells.
Starting point is 00:02:08 But I'd always like, they're like, cut, you've swam past the shell. And I'm like, I can't see. Yeah. It was so hard. I'd love to see the extended cuts of the scenes where the mermaids are like, oh, God. And they pour milk in our eyes because they were so red. Wow. Yeah, beautiful stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Wow. So thanks for bringing that up. Our second guest this week is from Question Everything. Have you been paying attention and Triple Jays? Jen Fricka. Hello. I wasn't in Maco. You were never in it?
Starting point is 00:02:34 I was actually never in it. You should have been. I would have loved to do an episode with you. I was a goth at the beach when I was growing up. And so I never wanted people to see my feet. Because I was a surfer, but I was a goth. You were here at the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:46 You were like, you're not paying me, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. No free feet. No free dogs on the beach. But, no, but I was a goth and a surfer. So I would walk to the edge of the water in my knee high dog Martin lace ups and my jeans, my baggy jeans. And then I would like quickly shimmy out of them and run into the water
Starting point is 00:03:05 because I never wanted to see anyone see me in between either of the two identities. That's a big switcher. That is. Yeah. It's real, yeah, Superman sort of. The secret identity. I had board shorts that went to my ankles. Their pants then.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Yeah, basically. And then they got really heavy when they were water soddened. So I almost drowned a bunch. Yeah, yeah. It's not recommended, actually. And our third guess this week is a multi-nominee of New Zealand's prestige. just Billy T Award and the co-hosts of the worst idea of all time of Simbat. Yay!
Starting point is 00:03:40 Multi-nomony is a divestating a jury. It's an indictment. It's just nice to be a multi-nominated, surely. Oh, so nice. So the way the show works is asked a relatively obscure trivia question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answer as well as the real one. I have to guess which one is correct.
Starting point is 00:03:58 And the first question actually comes from three different listeners sent in separately. Julian Wren from Melbourne, Jim Bates from Sackett's Harbour. New York and Henry Will Hoyt from Newburgh, Oregon. And the question is, what does the word eigengrow mean? Igen grow? Igan grow. Can you spell it, please? Sure.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Only because it's right in front of me. E-I-G-E-N-G-R-A-U. Oh, R-U. Yeah. Luckily, one of the question writers gave me that phonetic spelling. I-Gengru-O. And you're saying three different people said this in. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:37 That is wild. And I looked, I'm like, oh, sometimes you'll get multiple people sending in a question because something's going viral where it's like some clip where someone's going, oh, how funny is this word? But they all sent it in like a year apart. So it's just some, this word's just got legs. It's got legs. It's got legs.
Starting point is 00:04:54 It's trending. I can grow. Trending. I can grow. While you're writing your answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. You get one point if your fake answer is gasp. by the other contestant, and another point,
Starting point is 00:05:05 if you correctly guess the answer. And by the way, I'm also playing as The House, and I've put into a moment, fake answers for each question. But they'll be the question writer, and we get a point for each one of those that our guests choose,
Starting point is 00:05:16 or each of us conscript to three points per round, which seems fair, but the probability actually favours me, the House. The House always wins off. If you've listened to previous episodes, you'll know that is nearly never the case. And to even things out,
Starting point is 00:05:27 the guests get triple points in the final round. And there's a new thing we're doing for the second time where they all get one wildcard to play throughout the show in between round two and five just to make it more convoluted sounding where they can put in two answers but you have to say I think is the rule we're sort of making this up so you can up form this. You wouldn't believe how long it's taken for Met to transmit this information to us
Starting point is 00:05:53 contestants in a method where we can understand what's going on. You wouldn't believe it because I'm a real good communicator. You are. This is not on you. Did you? It shows. Yeah. And criminology.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Huh. It shows. Okay. I use both of those day to day. So most of our questions come around. Great Patreon support. If you want to submit a question, sign up on any level of our patron. com slash two go on pod linked in the show note.
Starting point is 00:06:20 All right. The answer is room for question number one. What does the word, Igan growl? We already don't know what we're talking about. We've gone so far. Can we reveal when we record this? Sure. We're like a week and a half into comedy set.
Starting point is 00:06:32 And I feel like. Like our brains, collectively peanut butter. I'm not a vegetable in nine days. Exactly. Got nothing left. Sorry, Matt. No, hey, I'm loving it. I think this is great energy.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Your eyes tell a different story. Well, I think I'm reflecting the energy, maybe. So the question is, what does the word, Igan growl mean? The process of removing dye from fabric. Oh. Antarctic Glacier where the penguins who don't mate for life live. I've said that in a very bizarre
Starting point is 00:07:05 I talked to Glacca where the penguins who don't mate for life live. I said it more like it was a haiku, but it wasn't. The mortar used in medieval buildings made from ground cattle bones and clay can still be found intact in ruins today. Option four, the ability to identify a shape by smell. Option five.
Starting point is 00:07:29 The shade of grey humans reportedly see in a perfectly dark room. or finally an ancient concept describing depression related to specific moon phases originating from Greece. Ooh. I get eigen growl. I get big time Igan growl. I'm eigengrowing right now.
Starting point is 00:07:48 I feel mortar. I smell shapes. What do you think, Amy? What's now? Yes, right now. I can only remember. I can read them again quickly. No, no, I wouldn't want to trouble you.
Starting point is 00:08:07 The bones in mortar. Bones in mortar. All right. Locking that in for Amy. What do you think, Jim? Oh. I wanted to go mortar because I thought that was very funny. I'm going to go with grey because that's another word I can remember.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I was going to go with the grey too. I don't want both of us to sit on there. I don't want both of us sitting there. Remind me of the second half of the answers. Just a couple keywords. Shape by smell. Shade of grey. Greece, depression.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Moon depression. Moon depression. Breco, moon depression. Yeah, no, I'll go grey. Go grey. Yeah. Stay grey. All right, he is who wrote the answers.
Starting point is 00:08:50 It's interesting that you didn't want to go for that Greek depression one. No, it's not, because you wrote it to him. Yeah, it is. That was beautiful acting. Can you like to hear why you were a nominee? Thank you so much. The ability to identify a shape by smell. That was Henry.
Starting point is 00:09:09 One of the questioner was okay of the house. Very fun. That's good. Good job, Henry. Process of removing dye from fabric. It was Amy. Oh, that's clever. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:09:18 You got really knee-kept by the fact that it came so early. Yes. Our brains are so bright at the moment. We could have a minute late. Thanks, Matt. Sabotage. It's really, it's just the order is randomly generated. Sure.
Starting point is 00:09:32 By you. By me. I'm a randa. What am I going to do next? The sad penguin one was Jen. Yeah. It's so sad. I had a sad version, which was a mountain where people go to two assisted suicide.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Oh my God. So you picked where an animal that mates for life goes when they can't find a mate. And I picked seasonal depression. It's not a massive prediction of the Med Festival in the podcast. Oh my God. Amy went for the more to use in medieval buildings. I'm afraid that was Julian, one of the other question writers. Julian.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Okay, the house or point for the house there. Incredible stuff. But that does mean that Jen and Tim are corrected as the shade of grey humans reportedly seen a perfectly dark room. We're so smart. We're so smart. We're so smart. Spending a lot of time in dark rooms at the moment.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Question two comes from Andrew Butler Doesn't say where he's from And Andrew's question is Which of these is a real type of Tasmanian shell? So, well, yeah, that question is to guess he's from Tasmania. I reckon he's probably from Tasmania, but you've just got to come up with a name. This question two is always like a bird species
Starting point is 00:10:51 Or a fish species or a mushroom species. This is the first time ever. And I really have to wait until we had three of the best on to ask a question of this quality. This is the first time ever we've got you to make up a kind of shell. I think we have showcased that we are intellectually unmatched. Unmatched, yeah. Definitely no one's meeting us.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I think maybe they knew it was going to be shell-based with my previous history of collecting shells. That's right. I am coming in with a strong advantage. You are a big advantage. If you've got sewer questions we're here, this is kind of the same thing. Exactly. And, you know, waterproof denim for you.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Exactly, exactly. The big three. The big three. I didn't ever realize, of course. I'm all about making connections. Jeez, this is, which is, it's good timing because you're the only one yet to score. So, Amy, I reckon really use your shell knowledge.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Oh, are you going to use your, you could use your wild card. Wait, is the question just to ask. What's the question? The question is you've got to make up a shell name. It felt like he didn't finish the question. No, I was waiting for you to ask the question. It was poorly. I would normally just say, now you've got to come up with a fake.
Starting point is 00:11:58 think but I've asked a question as I will ask it when there's options you know what I mean which of these are real type of shell you're like yes yes but no you've got to come up once again you've clearly identified three people at the top of your game how can I make it even a little more twisty for them oh my god but are you asking us to name a Tasmanian show make up a name of Tasmanian show you got it I can growl and yeah from now on you can use your wild card if you want to, but you just have to let me know. And while you're writing your answers about these shells, here's some more info on eigengrow.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Jim writes, true black is the complete absence of light, while agengrow is a perceived dark grey caused by spontaneous activity in the visual system, retinal cells firing, even without external light. I don't think I can put it any more plainly than that. I don't think anyone could. I mean, Henry's had a go. He writes, grey cannot be considered a true colour in definition.
Starting point is 00:13:00 It is actually a lack of visual stimulus to the brain, which causes an almost hallucinary false contrast where there is none. That is genuinely interesting though. Like if you just rob your brain of any sensory input, it's like, well, I'm going to make something up then because I'm bored. So I'll give you grey. Grey. You're not allowed to see black.
Starting point is 00:13:18 And that's the capacity of human imagination, isn't it? It's that when you take away everything, every stimulus, the best the human brain can come up with is grey. It would be great. Because brain cells are little grey cells, right? So maybe it's, you know, it's actually pretty arrogant of the brain to do that. They're seeing themselves. You know? Ultimate ego.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Yeah. All right. Question two. Which of these is a real type of Tasmanian shell? Stryated dog cockle. Oh. Radio Kule. Pretty big conch.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Striped South Pacific conch. Ooh. Darlious. Or Jeremiah. Plonker. My heart is saying Gerrimaia. Jeramaia, what's
Starting point is 00:14:04 Plunker. Obsess, only, the only shell people know clearly is conch. Well, yeah. Sounds evident. What do you reckon, Jan? Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Can you say the first two again? Well, try. Oh, sorry. They were two of the, yeah, two of the ones I'd certainly nailed. Strideated dog cockle. And radio cuele. I like dog cockle. It's interesting.
Starting point is 00:14:31 And you should clip that. All right, locking in dog cockle. Dog cockle. What do you think, Tim? striated, whatever it was. What was the sickle? Dog cockle. Dog cockle.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Oh, wait, what was the single one? You've done it again. No, hold on. Striated dog cockle. What's sick one was polycule, right? Yeah. The second one was radio cue. Radio.
Starting point is 00:14:50 What was the second's the last one? Darvilius. Davilius is. Dahlius. Dauvelius. Davilius. I think I want to go Jeremiah. Smart.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Clearly a woman of science and shells. I'm a woman in STEM. She knows for shells. Is the S in STEM shells? Yes. Oh my God. Okay. Now we have to do the rest of the letters.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Okay. Shells. Tramps. Tramps. Okay. Oh, you guys don't say this was the last episode, wasn't it? You don't say tramps here. You say hiking, right?
Starting point is 00:15:23 Oh, yeah. Oh, I thought, yeah. I thought you made tramps is in like hoos. What does tramps mean to you, so I miss that? Like hiking. There's what we call hiking and you see like tramping. We're going tramping. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Yeah, stem here is actually called sham for that reason. A, of course is. Oh, thanks. We're going to stay on it. That's awesome, man. Eating. Eating. Eating.
Starting point is 00:15:46 And M. M. M. It's a double M. People don't know that. Yeah. Stem. Stem.
Starting point is 00:15:53 All right. He's to write the answers. Radio Q. That was Amy. Yes. Almost got one. Does that come? That comes from some knowledge of shells?
Starting point is 00:16:02 No? No, that's just gibberish. Just a bunch of letters. I liked that. I almost picked it. I was so close to picking. I'm so sorry to... Same.
Starting point is 00:16:08 You'd say I was a nominee of the shells. Yeah, absolutely. Just close. Striped South Pacific conch. That was Tim. Nice. Pretty big conch. That was the house.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And I had time to Google types of shells. And I'm like, I thought I'd recognize. That's the only one I recognized of this long list of shells. To be honest, I cannot think of another shell right now. Starfish, that's not shell. No. Like I can picture them. Darvilius.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Which Tim went for. That was actually Jenfriker. Oh, nice. That was incredible. Because I just want to say Travis and then I was like Davis and then I was like Davilius. I love that. That's the working. To join you in your mind fell.
Starting point is 00:16:49 That's for a moment. What a journey. That's how you write. You would not pick it would start at Travis. No, what it was. Shocking. Because I was like, what's the funniest name for an animal? And it is tradists.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Yeah. Yeah. It's true. Man. Uh, I don't know what my process was when I wrote Jeremiah Plunker. Oh, no. Plunk is just fun to say, I guess. Plunker is fun to say.
Starting point is 00:17:12 And that means that Jen is correct. What the heck? Rated dog cockle. Wow. This keeps happening to me. I always pick the dumbest one. And it's always the real one. You're smart.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Believe in yourself. You're crashing it. I'm a woman in the shell. We did it. A woman in shells is fun. Hair down that glass ceiling. Okay. I'm going to do something crazy.
Starting point is 00:17:38 What? Double my next round. Oh. Even before the question car. Absolutely. Double dog dipping. I've got a good feeling in the ear. I like that.
Starting point is 00:17:48 The vibrations are good. I feel excited. All right. Question three, which Tim's already decided to use the wild card on comes from Jake Seymour from Denver, Colorado. Don't scream you, Jake. And I really, I like how little confidence Jake has in me.
Starting point is 00:18:04 He's written the phonetic spelling of Seymour and Denver, Colorado. Oh, bless. He's a listener. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, what, I thought it was going to be pictograms. He sent you a pictogram of C. More.
Starting point is 00:18:21 How would you draw more? I guess like an or, but then with an M in front of it. Or Othello. Yeah. All right. So Jake's question is, what is the title of track eight on the country artist, Wheeler Walker Jr's 2016 debut album, Redneck Shit? Oh, I love Wheeler Walker Jr.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Do you really? Yeah. Because he does a rude song. Oh, my God. Well, you've got a real advantage on this one, I would say. Which you've just gifted to us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, please, I want to share.
Starting point is 00:18:53 to love. Now, while you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more about dog cockles, according to Conachshunded seamer. Bivalve mollusk, oh, this is what a dog cockle, this is a bivalve mollusk with a heart-shaped shell featuring a rough and striated exterior, which can range in color from white to dark brown, typically measuring between three and five centimeters in length. It plays a significant role in the diet of some seabirds and is also harvested for human consumption in certain areas.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Seabirds eat shells? That's crazy. That doesn't sound right, does it? And especially like a significant, because I think this was actually on the previous episode as well. You were talking about how penguins eat rocks to aid digestion in their stomach. But they're not like digesting the rocks. It's just to help.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Just having someone in there to sort of like an internal morin pestle. Yeah, exactly. So the rocks stay in their bellies. I guess they pass them eventually. But like I think it was to help grind up the fish. stuff. Oh, just two.
Starting point is 00:19:55 I guess they don't have teeth do they? Just two penguins? Yeah. The lizard that's right they just do
Starting point is 00:20:00 with the stone I guess and most things. Anyway, you've done mouth stuff with a penguin? I've done my stuff with it.
Starting point is 00:20:09 That's why I know where the glacier is. Yeah, you famously found the single penguins you're like I'm like you're like
Starting point is 00:20:13 can I say Tim what a beautiful round to play your wild card. Thank you very much. I felt a disturbance in the force and I was like
Starting point is 00:20:22 this is the this is the time. Yeah. You're hitting the noz button in a way. Yes. You're going fucking fast and they're furious on this. I may keep that going. Who wants to hit the nose this round?
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yeah. I'll have to explain that every week. I'll hit the noz next round, I feel. Oh. I'm going to volunteer that now. Can two noz at once? Yeah, I think so. I mean, we are kind of making it.
Starting point is 00:20:46 It does mean that there's so many options, but I think I like that. That's fun to remember, yeah. All right, the answers are in. For question number three, what is the name of track eight on Wheeler Walker Jr.'s 2016 album Redneck Shit. Here are your options. Hicks spit and shit.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Open brackets, jerking off of the rest stop, close brackets. Really good. Really fucking good. Whether that is him who wrote there or someone in this room who wrote there, really fucking good. Option two.
Starting point is 00:21:18 If you take a shit in my house, I'll knock the teeth at your mouth. Oh. So a beautiful slant rhyme there. Yeah. Country rap. Option three. Fartin, fucking farting.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Option four. Will I walk away from you, you bitch? I miss my dog, open brackets, but not as much as I miss dogging with you. Those dogs. She got down on my truck Or finally, trucks, bucks, fucks and cucks Oh, that's nice Yes, okay Tim
Starting point is 00:22:00 What do you think? Hit spit and shit, jerking off of the restop Oh yeah, it is that one I'm locking their own Locked in, yeah All right Jerking off at the wrist right, it's so good What was the other one with parentheses?
Starting point is 00:22:13 I feel like a lot of them had, sorry, I feel like a lot of them had parentheses Only two of them did, but a few of them, you know. Naturally lend themselves. Yes, exactly. They used other things like commas. That, or what was the three Fs? It was like fucking, fucking, fighting fucking fardom.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Which was in a similar vein to trucks, bucks, fucks and cucks. That's true. Let's do I miss my dog. I miss my dog, all right. Classic country. And Jen. Was that the one that was like, I miss my dog, you bitch? Is that what that was?
Starting point is 00:22:46 I know that, the bitch one was, uh, will I walk away from you, you bitch? I like that one. Yeah. I do like that one. It's really good.
Starting point is 00:22:56 All right. Locked in. Here's who wrote the answers. Trucks, bucks, fucks and cucks. That was one of Tim's. Nice.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Really disappointed. No one picked that. I came close. Thank you. It did sound in the oove. It got nominated. It got nominated. It was right up that people find they,
Starting point is 00:23:12 well, they have hold it in a high esteem. Great. Yes. And you can hear it in your head. It's like, Rocks and box Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:18 You can, it's beautiful. It could be a real one. It could be a real one. It could be a real song. Like a comedy country. Yeah. Like literally one of his songs is called drop him out.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Let me see them tities. Sick. Drop them out. Let me see them tities. Drop them out. Yeah. If you take a shit in my house, I'll knock the teeth out your mouth.
Starting point is 00:23:39 So Jake, one of the question writers, wrote. From Seymour, Oregon? From Seymour. His answer was, don't take a shit in my house. I'm so,
Starting point is 00:23:46 could you show me how to show me? how to pronounce Seymour. Yeah. Through pictures. Great for an audio podcast. It's awesome. People got to get on the YouTube. Yeah, I really got to get on that YouTube.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Get on that YouTube read and watch. But yeah, I'm like, I can punch this up with a rhyme. And I genuinely thought, until I read it out, that mouth rhymed with whatever happened in the first self, which was House. And it did it. You made it right. I didn't even look back to it to check. I fully just.
Starting point is 00:24:16 believed it rhymed and I didn't look. It is crazy that you wrote it down because when you wrote it, you would have seen that one is a TH and the other's a ECIS. But I didn't look back to check what the house were. I just like, yeah, that rhymes. But in a song, you'd get away with that. Yeah. They're getting away with it.
Starting point is 00:24:30 It's a slant rhyme. Slant rhyme. Yeah. Close. So I apologize, Jake, for butchering your great answer there and possibly making it unguessable. Wasn't even nominated. Now, what else do we have?
Starting point is 00:24:44 She got down on my truck. that was Amy. Nice. No, nom's there. So sorry. That's okay. I'll try again next round. Amy went for I miss my dog.
Starting point is 00:24:55 That was the house, I'm afraid. Oh. Tim went. Do the whole one because it was great. I missed my dog, but not as much as I miss dogging with you. That was so good. That was so good. I think someone should, I mean, maybe someone could get these over to Wheel
Starting point is 00:25:10 or Walker Jr. Or at least the man who plays that character. Now, Tim went for. Hicks spit and shit jerking off at the rest of it. That was Jen Fricko. Oh, wow, God. This is my specialty subject, you know what I mean? I've listened to a lot of this man's work.
Starting point is 00:25:28 A lot of it's co-written by Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters. Really? Kind of like a fun misogyny, you know? Oh, that's nice. Yeah, it's whimsical. Jen went for, will I walk away from you, you bitch? That was Tim. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Points God from your nose round. Yeah, for God. But that means no one got the answer, which was a fucking farting. No. Yes. It seemed dumb to me. They are dumb. I was on board to the farting.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And I don't know why that took me off, but I was like, nah, you have me and you lost me. Too juvenile, actually. Yeah, come on. To juvenile. Grow up. Grow up, wheeler walk. Oh, he's a junior. Sing to me about dogging.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Dogging. No one's talking about. No one is talking about dog in. Maybe we should you guys. Jimfocus festival show. No one's talking about dogging. What's the deal? We're at the halfway mark and the scores are,
Starting point is 00:26:26 wait, is this right, Amy at the score. Tim on two, the house on three, but out in front on four points is Jen Fricka. What? Are you sure? You guys don't use your noses though. Yeah, I haven't used my nos yet. You got to hit that nos.
Starting point is 00:26:37 We got to hit that gnaw. Well, you've said you're sticking to it. You said you're using this round. This question comes from Dave from Home. And this is another Tasmanian question. It's longish. In 1977, Reader's Digest published an article called Over the Edge about the Tasman Bridge disaster two years prior.
Starting point is 00:26:56 The article claims that the Tasman Bridge is known by a nickname to citizens of Hobart. What is the nickname the article suggests? So basically what, because I mean, it's so long winded because Dave says he's never heard anyone call this bridge this nickname. But this one article from 1977 says this Hobart. Bridge has a nickname. So you just got to give a bridge a nickname. Roger that.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Yeah. That's the shorter version. Give a bridge a nickname. While you're writing your answers, here's a little more info about Wheeler Walker Jr. This is according to Wikipedia. Walker Jr. is the brainchild of comedian Ben Hoffman. Hoffman debuted an early version of the satirical country music artist Willa Walker Jr. character in a skit for the Ben show on Comedy Central in 2013 where he performed his
Starting point is 00:27:46 song, Eatin' Pussy Kickin' Ass. He recorded and released his first album, Redneck Shit, in February 2016. And the album was produced by Dave Cobb out of Nashville and originally premiered by a stream on Pornhub. It debuted at number nine on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, number one on the Billboard Top Comedy Albums chart, and number 127 on the US Billboard 200. It was the first album to the debut in both the top 10 of the comedy and country charts. Hey, well, you're still writing your answers. Let's go for a quick break. All right, we're back at the answer room for question number four.
Starting point is 00:28:27 What nicknamed did readers digest say the Tasman Bridge is known by? The Dorothy Andrews Memorial Iron Crossing Structure. Slow-mo hobo-go-go. Option three, the dinosaur. Option four. Errol Flynn's trouser snake. Oh. Option 5.
Starting point is 00:28:49 The big bridge, in brackets, like the big banana. Option. Enough seed, really? Enough seed, real. What more context are you need? None. Option 6. Old spindly legs.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Aw. Or finally, fuckheads gap. God, such great options. Amy, we're back to you. Oh, my God. I would love it to be fucking gap. I like dinosaur. I'm going to go to the dinosaur.
Starting point is 00:29:27 But spindly was also nice. Spindle is beautiful. Bit whimsical. Yeah. I think I've seen this. I can say that, yeah, dinosaur spindle. I'll go spindly. Spindly legs.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Locked in. Those were my, those were the two. I mean, was it a fuckyed game. Fuck hands gap. That's even better. It's a fuck-ed gap could get even better. It does. Fuck-Ead scat.
Starting point is 00:29:53 I'd do it. Lock it in. It's so good. All right. Here's all right. The big bridge, open brackets, like the big banana closed brackets.
Starting point is 00:30:03 That was Amy. Is there a big banana in Hobart? Is that what's going on there? No. What? I don't think you can grow bananas down that. That's used to the climate. And that's why they've gone for their last.
Starting point is 00:30:14 and Mark being the big bridge. I love it. Queensland gets the banana. If I had known there wasn't a big banana hope that, I would have picked your answer. I just assumed there was. You needed more info in the brackets. I should have done another bracket. Commit.
Starting point is 00:30:29 So, semi-colon, that is to say. Slow-mo hobo-ho-a-go-go. That was Jen Fricka. Very nice. Very clever. Well, one of Jen's two Norse answers, that is. The Dorothy Andrews Memorial Iron Crossing Structuring. That was Tim.
Starting point is 00:30:45 That was good. I thought that was real, to be honest. That feels very Taswegian. The Damix could have been short. I think the only thing... The only thing that worked against you was because we're so deep in now, we know that such a beautiful,
Starting point is 00:30:59 correct sounding answer would not be true. Yes. If you'd come round one with that, I would have been like, yum, yum, yum, eating that up. Yeah. So that's Matt's fault. The one of my own success.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Yet again, always nominated. Amy went for the dinosaur. I'm afraid that was Dave, the question writer. Well done, Dave. Tim went for fuckheads gap. Sure did. That was Jen Fricker. No regret.
Starting point is 00:31:22 That's a nose. You've really hit the nose there. Booking did both ends of the Wimsy spectrum. I thought people would pick it up because I was clearly so late with my second answer. And then that was the one he read out the last. I was like, yeah, of course people are going to pick this. We did run into that problem at the live show as well. But it was too good to not pick.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Thank you. It's really fun. Errol Flynn's. Fowler snake. I really hoped it was this one. That was the house, I'm afraid. Because he is from Tasmania. He's from Tasmania, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:51 And that means Jan is correct in his old spindly legs. Oh, wow. Wow. What the hell. Big Noss round. Big Noss. That's a very successful Nause. So, wait.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Why? What? Spindling. Is this an old bridge? Is it? Because I keep thinking about. Yeah. The Tasman Bridge.
Starting point is 00:32:10 It's quite a steep bridge. You can't see over it. Jamie, pull up the. Tasmanian spindly bridge. I feel like it's, yeah, it's that one that you,
Starting point is 00:32:20 if you think of Tasmanian bridge, Hobart Bridges, it's that one. Wow, looks like a big banana. Yeah, wow,
Starting point is 00:32:27 that is a big bridge. It is a big bridge for such a small town. Oh, yeah, I had one in there that obviously deleted the concrete caterpillar,
Starting point is 00:32:36 which I think would have been a, wow, that would have got me. That actually would have got me. I feel like old spindly legs, I mean, it feels like something reader's
Starting point is 00:32:44 I just has invented. And they've been like, and that's what everyone's calling it. And that's fake news. And the author of the article's never been to Tasmania. Never. Never. Yeah. Big round for Jan, just extending the lead.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Coming into the penultimate question here. And also, Amy, your last chance to use the noz. Hit the nos, babe. But then I have to come up with two hands. Hey, it's actually quite easy. All right. I believe in you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I'd love to Noss, Matt. Jane from Northget sent in this question, which is, it's a two-parter. So you've got to come with four things. Damn. Jane, you've made a fast enemy. So the question is, what is the unusual name of the well-known water station in Warsaw in Poland? And a clue is it sounds like a nickname given by a high school bully. And also, what is the unusual method it uses to test water quality?
Starting point is 00:33:42 Does that make a... sense? Beautifully written question. Thank you, Jane. Can you say the question one more time, sorry? Sure. What is the unusual name of the well-known water station in Warsaw, Poland? And a clue is it sounds like a nickname given by a high school bully.
Starting point is 00:33:56 And also, what is the unusual method it uses to test the water quality? While you're writing your answers, here's some more info about old spindly legs. This is according to Dave. Absolutely no one in Hobart, Hobart calls it this. If anything, we'd just call it the bridge, or maybe the Tasman. If we were directly comparing it to the Bowen further up the river, that's the only time we'd call it the Tasman and not the bridge. At the time of the Tasman Bridge collapsed.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Roughly 30% of Hobart's population lived on the eastern shore of the Derwent River across the water from the Hobart CBD, and were suddenly cut off from accessing the city easily. The Bowen Bridge hadn't been built yet, and the nearest crossing was the Bridgewater Bridge, much further up the DERWEN. The day after the incident, 30,000 commuters found
Starting point is 00:34:46 that their normal three-minute commute across the bridge turned into a 51-kilometer round trip, taking about 90 minutes during peak hour. Well, our answers are in. Unbelievable. For question number five, what is the unusual name of the well-known water station in Warsaw
Starting point is 00:35:04 and what is the unusual method it uses to test the water quality? Here are your options. The long-faced. Freak. Horses bred specially for the purpose are led to the water twice daily. If they can't make them drink, more testing is done. That's smart.
Starting point is 00:35:20 That's a great answer. That is really smart. That's your answer. That's really sexy. God, yeah, the person that came up with a genius. Definitely that one. How to kind of feel the aura to it. Option two, the Warsaw weakling.
Starting point is 00:35:36 The Warsaw Mayor and his family must drink the water and if they remain in good health after seven days, the water is good to drink for the city. That's good. Option three, Nerdsville Station. They send the water through a series of buckets getting increasingly smaller until the water has been collected in individual tea tubes. Option number four, Fat Kathy. There are eight muscles connected to computers,
Starting point is 00:36:02 and when they close, they know that there is a problem with the water. There are eight muscles? Like mollusk sort of things. Oh, okay. I'm going to just... Before we go any further, take a wild swing and say that there is Amy's brain running out of steam. Let's see how we go. Just because I have an enemy named Kathy.
Starting point is 00:36:25 It doesn't mean I'll write it. Wet patch patty. Water clarity is tested by bouncing light off a 19th century painting of the Duchess, Patricia Radzwill. Oh. Oh. Steve crappier. Warsaw tests their water by how quickly it disperses urine. Or finally, fuckhead station.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Yeah. A bully makes the geek drink the water to see if it's good or not. Yeah. That's so good. Like a swirly, but for municipal water. All right, Jen, what do you reckon? I mean, I have to go fuckhead station. That's great.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Shout out. And it's like kind of my legacy. I'm flattered How do you want to be remembered Fucking station What do you think Tim Um Fat Kathy
Starting point is 00:37:21 Fat Kathy And also double points for me If I've correctly Used to do wrote it Okay and Amy I feel like I can't remember What were some of the early ones Uh long face freak
Starting point is 00:37:31 Worsall weekling Oh the horse one Let's do horses Why not Do horses Need a horse to water Yeah Mm.
Starting point is 00:37:39 None of us are going to say the second half. I can't remember. Something about making it drink. Yeah, cool. Well, that is one version of it. I think Matt and I both know the other one, and we're not going to say it because we are. Gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Allies. Alloys. What? Wait, I don't know the other one. I don't know the other one. It's great. It's keeping that way. Sexism.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Yeah. I'll tell you. I'll tell you after. I would tell you after. We're just like two little babes. The riff on it. The riff on it is. You can do it and kind of bleep.
Starting point is 00:38:06 this out. Yeah. Is that cool? Yeah. Don't bleep it. I think it's way funny for it to be bleeped. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think it's actually. Kind of don't bleep it but put in something even worse. Yeah. Put in the sound of water being poured into a glass.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I did at the beginning of the pod. Oh. There you go. That's nice. Existing assets. Real fat. Kathy move. It's real fat.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Okay. Real's pointed. Sorry, sorry. Fuck Ed station. Thank you. So you lead a horse to water. But you can't make it drink. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:38:36 You can lead. Oh, okay. But then I think water gets... What are you talking about it? That was really actually... Tim, that was yark. That was so yark. Very nominee behavior.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Mine, yeah, the one I know is you can lead a horse to water and women are great. You were so close to landing the plane on their hands. And women are beautiful. Women deserve rights. And women can be in sham.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Wait, what are we doing? What are we doing? We remember on this podcast that's headed an existential breakdown for some amount of time on this episode. I don't actually remember. I think everyone's locked in their answers and I'm about to read out. Yes. Yes. Fabulous.
Starting point is 00:39:23 All right. Fabulous. So here's the answer. We need to go. The Warsaw weakling. That was Tim. Yay. No one picked it.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Nerdsville. That was Amy. Yay. Oh, that's pretty good. Oh, this is really good. Wet Patch Patty. That was Jane in the house. Nice one, Jane.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Good. The Long Face Freak. Oh, no. That was also Jane in the house. Jane also hit the nose on this one. Jane hit the nose. Jane's cross. Yeah, good thing, Jane.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Jane did the explanations and I did the bully names. We were both playing away our strengths. I received a lot of those, so I had a few to use. Steve Crappier. That was Jen. The most Polish sounding of them all. You know what I was going to be called Trav Crappier too? I really wanted to show my hand on this thing.
Starting point is 00:40:11 And then I was like, oh, you know what? I'll try. I'll try earnestly. For what? Yes. I'm really glad I didn't pick yours because you were out on such a lead or anything. I want to contribute to it. No, no, thank you.
Starting point is 00:40:22 At this point. Now, Jen went for Fuckhead Station. And it was real? That was Amy. Yay. Your legacy. Yay. Really good.
Starting point is 00:40:32 I thought, I can't believe you picked it. Yeah. Why not? That's the attitude of someone so far out in the lead. It really is. No, Jen just lives by the classic phrase. Jane lives by the idiom, you can lead a horse to water and support women. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Beautiful. Which is something that, yeah, Jane and I haven't in common. Some of us believe. James, I came on here to sell tickets to my festival shows and the inverse is going to happen. No, you'll get an audience. Oh, no. It is the one you want. I'm going to Brisbane.
Starting point is 00:41:05 These guys are there. That's Paul Ian's home state. Yeah. Great, great, great, great. Now, that just leaves the correct answer, which Tim got, sat, Kathy. Wow. I thought that was Amy's for sure. I would have put money on it.
Starting point is 00:41:22 So, wait, what was the testing? They have eight muscles, like little shell mosque things, connected to computers. And if they open and remain open as the water goes over them, the water's good. they close it's because they're like oh this is contaminated we can't yeah dang
Starting point is 00:41:38 dang I'm the same I just think because fat we've all been I've all been a fat Kathy I thought fat Kathy was really funny yeah
Starting point is 00:41:48 and then when you said muscles I thought like you know muscles on a human body muscles not the shellfish but you still guessed it well yeah I picked it
Starting point is 00:41:57 because fat Kathy is a funny thing to call a water tap that does feel very Polish too yeah it does fat kathy Because the way that Jane wrote the question was
Starting point is 00:42:09 The water station known as Fat Kathy has an interesting I'm like we got to put Fat Kathy in the answer Nice We can't burn that in the question Absolutely not, it's too good So Tim you get a point there Much needed House gets a point
Starting point is 00:42:24 And Amy on the board with the first point So going in the final round Which is worth triple points So it's still truly anyone's game There's another round There's one final round I'm afraid I mean, we can call it here if you want. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:42:39 But the scores are Amy on one, Tim on three, House on Fire, but out in front, still Jen on six points. Crazy stuff. Good luck, Connor. Now, the final question comes from Caitlin Turner from Morley in Western Australia. And this is, this would be your longest answer. This is a movie synopsis. Great.
Starting point is 00:42:56 That's what we all need right now. Awesome news. Let's go. Do you know what? I actually heard that they're doing two word synopsuses now. Yeah. They're really nice to. The question is, what is the synopsis of the movie Throwback?
Starting point is 00:43:09 Yeah, you don't have to write them too long. Three or four sentences kind of thing. Throwback? Okay. And while you're writing your answers, here's some more info about Fat Kathy. This is from Atlas Obscura. Apparently, the Polish for Fat Kathy is Gruber Kaska. And Fat Kathy is one of Warsaw's largest water filtration plants.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Every day, it pumps tens of millions of gallons out of the Visible. Stula River, pronunciation not assured there, and through taps across Poland's capital. Each drop is guaranteed by the plant's unusual quality control team, fresh water muscles hooked up to a computer. The concept is simple. All kinds of pollutants can sneak into the drinking water. Heavy metals seep up from industrial waste sites, pesticides and fertilizers trickle in after big rainstorms, etc. Because chemical tests are contaminant specific, it's impossible to check the water for every possible problem before it's piped out to the populace.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Muscles, however, aren't picky. If something is wrong, they clam up. Their broad sensitivity... Is it a joke? I guess so. It's sort of a joke, isn't it? I think it is. That constitutes a pun.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Yeah. I think Atlas Obscura maybe can do some jokes sometimes. Nice. They have fun. They do. The whole website is about quirkiness. Is it?
Starting point is 00:44:22 And if that's not fun, I don't know what is. Definitely, I don't know what is at this point. I've been in this room too long. It does for... We are in it. We're over the hour. Now, we're so good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:36 And we also, we did chat a bit beforehand. We really did. I got here late. Yeah. We chatted for ages. Yeah, no one needed to know that. That was actually before we started recording. Well, the fact is, I wasn't even the first year.
Starting point is 00:44:51 And yeah, I still win. Crazy. Yeah, maybe you came in the freshest. Amy actually was here first. I was here thinking of stuff. I was actually just in the, I was just outside thinking of things. Amy was existing in the iron and growl? Eyes and grow.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Eyes and grow. In the grey. In the grey. Dost grey. It is what it is. Apparently, they use a bunch of different Polish water treatment plants. And each muscle worker, they call them, spends three months on duty. And after that, they become too accustomed to their new surroundings and are no longer sensitive enough to
Starting point is 00:45:33 properly monitor the water. For retirement, they are gently tossed back where they came from. That's nice. I don't think these guys are getting a pension or something. It's very nice to use these words. It's like a former Soviet country. You know, they might have some like kind of communist ideals still baked into the muscle processing.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Let's go with that. The lifestyle of muscles there. I wonder how they're adapting then back to like life outside of captivity. It sounds like there's more majesty that's throwing them back in the That's what I mean. I don't think it's going well. There's no follow-up of like, how's your first year of retirement been?
Starting point is 00:46:08 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why don't if they're the kind of shell seagulls eat? You know, they're just straight away. They're just swooped on. Brutal. Brutal. A lot of shell talk. That's just a sad image that you conjured.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Yeah, I apologize that. It's the first day of retirement. Bleep it. All right, answers are in for the final question. Wow. What is the synopsis of the movie throwback? Here are your options. One fateful Thursday, David makes an inadvertent post about his long-lost high school love,
Starting point is 00:46:40 inadvertently unraveling his life. That's option one, option two. Exterminators come treasure hunters Jack and Kent are on the hunt for the legendary gold nugget in North Queensland, hidden by a bush ranger Thunderclap Newman. Using a GPS, they quickly find the gold. But things go awry from there, attempting to murder each other before being interrupted by a park ranger, all while being stalked by a violent yowie. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I will say, if Tim has written that, it is offensive. Time will tell. How quickly can you type? Yeah, that was beautiful. That was good. Do you think the character, Thunder clap, Newman, introduces himself like Bond, and he's like, I'm Newman. Yeah, Thunder clap, Newman.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Mike and Clara have been happily married for 30 years before Mike is injured in a freak baseball accident where he's hit in the head with a rogue foam finger. When he awakes, he's regressed to a previous version of himself, one that is stuck in his early 20s. I'd see that. Kevin James attempts to relive his high school football career but breaks his back on his first day of training.
Starting point is 00:47:50 He must learn to live and love again as a paraplegic. Jesus. He's thrown his back. See, there's two levels there. He threw his back, they called a throwback. Well, finally, a coming of age tale of two gifted brothers from Connecticut who travel across the country to rescue their runaway pet. Fat Cathy. Nice.
Starting point is 00:48:33 So someone's certainly still in it to win it. So you've got, Tim, it's up to you. You're a real movie expert as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you give me the first, give me some keywords again? So you've got the David inadvertently unraveling his life. You've got the gold hunters. One with the Yowie at the end?
Starting point is 00:48:56 Yeah, the gold hunters with the Thunder clap Newman, the Bush Ranger. I honestly, I'm locking that down. That's great. And I think it's real. You're trying to dodge the racism allegation. Locked in? Yeah. All right, Amy, what do you reckon?
Starting point is 00:49:13 I think I'm going to do baseball. Baseball. Mike and Clara, the one where he regresses to a 20-year-old. Sure. Whatever you need it to be. All right, Chan. I think you know which one I'm picking, which is Kevin Jay. Kevin Jacks.
Starting point is 00:49:33 It's so good, because it's either a Tim Bat invention or it's real. And those are two great possibilities. Yeah. I've always said that. Yeah. About things in life. All right, here's the right. The answers.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Remembering this is for triple points. Whoa. Huge. The one about David making an inadvertent and post about his long-lost high school love. That was Jan Fricker. Yeah. Intimate character piece is kind of garden state vibes, I guess. Like it starts off kind of silly goofy.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Who's the league? For whom is the Sistar vehicle? Honestly, like I did think Vince Vaughan, like in his early years kind of around, because it was like maybe when he wasn't so fully formed as like a comedic guy. Right. So, okay, early. Early Vince-Rubon. You know, he's recently been sort of outed as like a mega dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:50:22 And that was good news for you. Yeah, I was like, and I hope he gets more work. Yeah. No. If there is a god in the sky. Yeah, yeah. What do you mean he was outed? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Well, it's like he was trying to keep it. He kept his politics quite ambiguous. I think. And then I don't even know what happened recently, but I think he said something on a podcast. And then a photo came out where he's, yeah, standing next to Trump. And everyone's like,
Starting point is 00:50:45 oh, okay. Yeah. Right. There you go. I feel like it adds to his character of being a shitbag, though. Totally. Like, I feel like all of his films have been like,
Starting point is 00:50:53 I'm like a bad fucking guy. Vince Vaughn in old school would be voting for Trump at the same. Exactly. Exactly. That one he did with Jennifer Aniston, where he's like a bad husband and they get a divorce. I'm like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:51:05 That guy's fucking, like, yeah. Didn't he remake Psycho Shot for Shot? Yes. What the fuck was that? Mega. What was that? Yeah. Like, why?
Starting point is 00:51:16 I didn't know that. That's wild. So odd. I think with, um, what's Ellen DeGeneres's former partner who I think has died? No, no. Oh. And H. Isn't she in it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:25 What a bizarre project to exist. Why would you remake like one of the most famous and beloved films ever? Shop for Shep. You've been like, you were like, like, you were like a famous or two. It's not like Paul Thomas Anderson going to give you my tits and fucking Franks the Tanks best mate from old school is going to do it.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I like that he's just going It was pretty good But I think There was something to add To Hitchcock to us Look I'm not saying it was bad but I think With the little Vince Vaughan touch Well flannel
Starting point is 00:51:58 Nah it's gap I didn't know what you think You can achieve and what you can achieve Nice Very good Oh, that's really good. All right, so here's who wrote some of the other ones. Again, I've forgotten where we're up to.
Starting point is 00:52:11 The one about the runaway pet cat, fat Kathy, that was Amy. Nice. What? What? This has been a really nice sisterhood, like, throwing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're supporting women. We have to stick together when, you know, certain men at the table say such a real thing.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Oh, they're... Oh, that's worse. Hopefully bleep that again. Hopefully bleep that. Or make it louder, Connor. Imagine if the first one is cut. Yeah. And all that exists is that good.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Then I'm really selling some tickets. Yes. You've been... Tim Bat has just upgraded his Brisbane venue. He's at the powerhouse. To the worst. Kahn ever minute. Lock up your daughters.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Tim Bat's coming down. What's the deal with the... He's women. I don't want this heat. I don't want this. Now, Amy went for the one about Mark and Clara where Mike gets injured by a baseball accident. That was been by Caitlin, aka the house.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Nice. Now, Jen went for the Kevin James vehicle. That was Tim Bat. Yay! Incredible. And Tim Bat was also correct. It was the violent Yowie one. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Get a feeling. Wait, is that a sweep? Is that taken over 10? Half a dozen points. Oh, hang on, I've got to count the scores of the two. I can quickly tell you as I'm counting up the scores, Caitlin writes of the film
Starting point is 00:53:43 that it was made on a budget of $4,000. Hell, yeah. And contrary to audience opinion with a score of 23% on Rotten Tomatoes, throwback won Best Foreign Film at Famous Monsters Film Fest 2014, best feature at Tri-City's Fantastic Film Festival 2014,
Starting point is 00:53:59 and Best Ozzie film at the 2014 Glenn Awards. Do you know what the Glenn Awards are? That sounds like, I'd love doing it to get a gleam. I'll tell you what. I'm saying Glenn arms or not. Who do you think wrote this film? It was Glenn.
Starting point is 00:54:12 And then he's like, um, the Glenn Awards, we also win those. You say that, but then the Oscars was like the most famous for awards. Yeah, true. Oh, dude, named Oscar. Glenn is true. I am not finding anything on the Glenn Awards. I found the Glenn Ira City Council. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:30 A host Citizen of the Year, business of the year. I've got list. No, no, no, let's get into that, actually. That feels important and relevant to me. A list of awards and nominations received by Glenn Close, Glenn Powell Awards, and then a lot of Glenn Powell stuff. Reddit. Glenn was nominated for award again.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Aw, good for Glenn. He's too hot to be Glenn. Really? I don't find him hot take. I'm with you, Amy. I don't get it. I don't get it either. And I don't think he gets it either.
Starting point is 00:54:56 He seems like a hardworking actor who is sort of confused by his own success. Yes. I don't know what I thought it was going to be a character actually. Totally. All right. So final scores are aiming on one point. Yay. No down trout.
Starting point is 00:55:13 No down trout. That's great. In equal second place on six points a piece, it's Jen and the House. Yay! But leaping to the league with a big fun around on nine points. It's the bad boy of comedy. Thank you. and I so desperately want this episode to never come out.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Tim, bruiser, bad, playing Brisbane Stadium. Do you know what's terrible? Look after you in the edit, I'm sure. What's bad as well? So I don't know how much has made the episode, but there was a recurring joke on this one, folks, and we all hear to laugh. Because we all understand that I don't believe it.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Jen was crying at a point. I was crying. I was crying about something you said, actually. What's so bad is this is a continuation of like kind of the same gig that I was doing through the whole. whole season, the last season of worst idea of all time was Guy Montgomery, where like, I am the champion of the in-cells now.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Yeah, your manisphere. Yeah. And, you know, like, how long is a, is a Joker running bit before you're just outing yourself as the world's biggest asshole? The problem is, I think what is, is the problem, sorry, for a lot, I feel like that. Keep it and clip it. I've worn you down with misogyny. My puny female brain.
Starting point is 00:56:31 No, I think what it is is that you're quite a thoughtful person. So you're like, I should look into this because I need to understand how it affects our world. And I want to show empathy. These people are different from me. And maybe I can find a way to communicate with them. We can come to some kind of educational exchange. But what's happened is through your proximity to it from watching it, you have become it. You're like, oh, some good points, actually.
Starting point is 00:56:53 You kind of method educated yourself. In the way you did, you became the joker when you lived in. I assumed the classic. Is that where you lived? You became the Ninja Turtle. I joked myself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where'd you in the green room sort of up?
Starting point is 00:57:07 We moved around because we had to because it was already a pretty maddening experience. But we, yeah. We slept on the stage on the first night. Wow. I got a bad cough. Oh, on day one. The carpets are not good in there. I feel like that was very Kiwi, though, to just allow you guys to stay there.
Starting point is 00:57:23 I don't feel like any comedy club. It was great. I was like, ask Scott. He's like, yeah, that sounds fine. I was like, have you got any other questions? No, we'll give you guys the keys on Monday. Should they would have shows on and shit too? We performed in one.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Yeah, amazing. Full Joker makeup. Wow. So, Guy and I got full joker up and did sets exclusively about Joker 2. That brought. In the middle of a lineup show on a Wednesday. That's so good. That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Well, that does bring us to the end of a fantastic episode. Already? Maybe the best one ever, I think. Oh, so soon. As Tim would say, make podcasting great again or whatever. What is it? It's something like that, I don't know. 50% of my audience is big Timbat fans in that way.
Starting point is 00:58:07 So, but this episode, this will be coming out in a couple of weeks. We'll all finish your Melbourne runs, but is there anything you want to tell people about coming up? We'll have an improv show called Something Good, back at Comedy Republic Wednesday nights every single week. Please come down to that. And then I've got a new show coming out in the next couple of months called sauna sessions, where I get my favorite comedians in the sauna.
Starting point is 00:58:28 And as the temperature gets harder, the questions get harder. Oh, that's sick. How are you going to record it? We already have. Have you? Yes. Like, did you break anything?
Starting point is 00:58:38 Like microphones? We had to test a bunch because they could not deal with a niche. Amy's got a long history of recording in moist situations. It's my niche, yeah. I'm not going to touch that. After all the jokes I'm from making this episode,
Starting point is 00:58:50 I'm going to touch that one. What about you, Jan? Gosh. Look, I'll probably do some shows in some other cities. The best way to find out is just go to my website, gemfriker.com.com. I am back using my mailing list. It turns out we put too much into social media and what it actually needs to be again is emails.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Oh, 100%. Yes. Yep. So, yeah, just follow me there. I'll probably do some shows in Sydney and Brisbane because that's easy for me to do. Great. If Tim Bat doesn't bloody take all the bloody audience. I'm just looking up, Tim, you're in.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Yeah, it would be this week or next week in Brisbane I'm doing Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland, Wellington. Eternal optimist is the show. Yeah, and the show, can I put my pitch for what I actually am as a stand-up? It's like truly 50% of the show
Starting point is 00:59:48 is about me trying to unseat the current centre-right government in New Zealand because it's election year, so I thought I would... You've done a bit of that. That has been most of my... You've unseated a few governments? you've done some good stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:01 It's in the show. Yeah, I've got a couple notches on my bedposts in terms of people I've taken down. Really? That is such a good tease for a show. The best one is in this year's show. The best one I've done successfully. It's the sort of closing story of the show. So come along and see that.
Starting point is 01:00:22 And if you're listening, Queensland, please. Tim will be seeing from the river to the sea on the show. so make sure you show up and arrest him just straight away. I'm not going there but maybe I will now like they've courted me you know what I mean? Yeah yeah they got it though it.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Shut him down. I went to Greg, I know you're trying to wrap things up I'm so sorry Matt but Greg Larson's show Unrelenting Ultraviolence and he'd like the end of his show's fantastic he just goes on an absolute screen
Starting point is 01:00:46 and he's like and now I'm going to Queensland and I'm going to fucking say it and they're going to arrest him and you can watch it live stream yay! He's a retired Queensland cop
Starting point is 01:00:55 too. So good man. We got to get out out of here just because there's a booking coming in in a minute. Otherwise, I would love to just keep this going. But thanks much to everyone for listening. Give us a five-star review. Maybe tell your friends if you think you know anyone who might enjoy it,
Starting point is 01:01:07 especially Tim's full masculinity sort of styling. If you're on peptides, you get a discount. Cheers for tuning in to Who knew with Matt Stewart. Now that you know it, I'll be Matt's short. Good boy. Wee. Were you there when Jordan Sharp was saying that he couldn't turn his fan on in his room because it would short circuit the lighting?
Starting point is 01:01:37 No. Oh my God. So Jordan Sharps at Motley as well. Because that's when I saw Tim. Yeah, yeah. And his room got so hot. And he only got 40 minutes and we were like, thank God. And he was like, I have a fan in the room, but they said I couldn't turn on it.
Starting point is 01:01:51 It was short circuit like all on the wiring. And it was like, it was that crazy night when it was raining. Like. Oh, no. It was super humid. It was so humid. And like there's water leaking into the venue. It's like, we're going to die in here.
Starting point is 01:02:03 This is crazy. You would cry. I'm like, blow. lasting the AC, make everyone freezing. That's good. I bought a van. You bought a van. I went out and bought one.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Yeah, because, yeah. The venue, everyone just looks like they're pulling their hair out, constantly trying to get it all ticked over and like, I got this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got this one. Is this the first year they're running stuff out of there? Sorry.
Starting point is 01:02:24 Is it the first year they're running out of that room? Well, the first, yes, but apparently they do shows in there. Interesting. I thought it was literally, I thought it was just being built. Same. Because it still, there's just. I thought it was about to be demolished. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:37 It's just like framing. Oh my God. And like half the toilets aren't plumbed, the sink's unplanned so the water just comes out the bottom of the sink. Like it's crazy. Come to check it out, I mean. You got to check it out. That's obviously the biggest cell. I've got to come see the how they've got no walls.
Starting point is 01:02:55 What time are you on? 7.45. I think we might be 6.30, but I think I would. I might get to Storyville. What time are you? 7.30. 7.30. I don't think I'm going to.
Starting point is 01:03:07 I'm going to be able to make that. It's quite fun. We're fully taken over your slide as well, 6.30 in Cuba's 3. Oh, my God. Tag. Tag. Tag. Tag.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Tag. What a steamed company. Yeah, really warm it up for us. Appreciate that. Get that Amy smell. Well, it was a sushi restaurant,
Starting point is 01:03:24 so I kind of made it worse. Okay, what are we doing? Remind us, please. So, all I always forget to get to get my phone for this. There's six questions. And so six rounds.
Starting point is 01:03:37 and I'll ask a question, then you message me a fake answer, trying to trick the other two. And you get a point if you get it right, and you get a point if they guess your answer. And I've added a new rule. Oh my God, Tim Bat just started following me. What? This is huge.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Don't freak out. Guys. Yeah, new rule, you can use a wild card once between rounds two and five, where you can put in two fake answers. Whoa, okay. And just in the Instagram chat is fine? Not in the chat because then I'll say it. Our one.
Starting point is 01:04:15 Our chat, yes. People have done that before, that's all. They're stupid. Well, yeah, I wasn't able to say that because I'm, you know, like hosting and trying to be kind. I'm so sorry. I turned out to there because I was catching up on the messages and now three. I know. It's a pretty good stuff in there.
Starting point is 01:04:31 It was real enough. I was just, yeah, heard about your Uber. Terrible. But was that crucial? Did I miss something important? No. I can message you, I can deem you, my answers. You damn hear your answers.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Insta? Insta? And there's a new thing where one, you can use a wild card one time in rounds two to five where you can do two answers. You just say, well, after you've heard the question, I'm going to do a wild card on this one. Sick. Doubling your chance for points, I guess. Love it.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Is there a punishment for not doing two? No, I don't think so. You don't think so. Yeah, there's only the second time to try it. Wait, say that one more time. I'm so grained in. I'm so braided. You can pick one round where you can submit two answers.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Okay, wild-cut. But not the first or last round. No, in the first or last, you can do two answers and it's good. Yeah, just give you a second chance. You can't be punished if you don't. But you won't get punished. You won't get punished. You including the preamble, I think, should be like bonus content.
Starting point is 01:05:26 If you're just constantly having to deal with this comedian being like, okay, guys, it's really not there. Because honestly, me, talking me through it, when I did the live one in Adelaide, I was like, I'm so sorry, man. Dude. Can you just try to tell me for the sixth time and maybe I might get it? I did the live one in Sydney. I didn't even bring my phone on.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Oh, yeah. We had done it multiple times before that. And I just sat there being like, we're just here for a chat. That was cursed. Because that didn't get recorded in the end. Honestly, maybe for the best. All right, so happy with that. Good to go.
Starting point is 01:06:00 Love it. Sick. All right. It's being filmed as well. well as recorded. Water? Water at least. Yeah, it's been filmed for the,
Starting point is 01:06:10 for the Dugo and YouTube channel. And hundreds of people watch it on there. Amazing. Will we get like a split of the revenue? Like full three figures. Yes. If you, yeah,
Starting point is 01:06:21 you'll have to invoice for it. Great. And I'll have to get a calculator out. I'm coming for my 75 cents. And then after super intact, 50 cents. You, you,
Starting point is 01:06:33 management will take a, a card obviously. Beautiful. Brother, I'm independent. Oh, that's all yours then. That's all yours. Persistent bridesmaid. You know, well, you know there are people out there who never got nominated.
Starting point is 01:06:49 That's true. They're looking at you. You're living the dream to them. You know, none of us have actually been nominated for the Philly tea. That's true. You guys have never been nominated for a Billy T. Hey, can I seed my intro time to ask, what is Makeover Mermaids? Miko Mermaids.
Starting point is 01:07:04 Miko Mermaids. I'm so glad we're talking about it. What is it? It was a TV show where, in case you didn't get it, I played a mermaid. Yeah, I got there. So it's live action. Yes, this is real film stuff, you're in the water. Real mermaids.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Is it a good show or is it? Yes. Well, it's supposed to be. Okay. Not always the demo that reaches out about it. Like, Bronies style situation? What does that mean? Sorry, so my little ponies is made for kids, but then sort of communities pop up.
Starting point is 01:07:31 The worst one I ever got was mail sent to the house I was living in in Queensland when we were filming it, and it was from a man in a man in a, Texas jail. And like my family didn't even know that address because it was like a short term rental. So that did. That did worry me a little. But we were mermaids that became humids and there was another show, like bigger, more successful show called H2O, just had water.
Starting point is 01:07:53 And they were girls that became mermaids. Whatever. Like different law. I was a goss that became a surfer. And I'm a nominee that became a podcast. Yay. Yeah. Gone through our crystal space.
Starting point is 01:08:08 You told on a previous episode you talked about how Netflix picked it up and that didn't mean you got paid. Correct. There was like normally go, oh, congratulations, you're on Netflix. You're like, well. Yeah, when we signed on, it was like, I think 2012. So it was like before Netflix was even in, like, the zeitgeist and in contracts. So they bought it and that's great for them.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Good Lord. Brutal. should be illegal. I think my son, I think Netflix are bad people. What? What? But if they are making stuff, I would love to work for them again. Oh, well, of course. Well, I used to work for them, and then they fired me.
Starting point is 01:08:45 So I'm back saying it's bad. But just because they fired me. Yes. And but as soon as they hire me again. Yeah, they're the best. Then I'm back on board. Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm a socialist that they can get in the bin.
Starting point is 01:08:56 He's from day one. So fuck them. Didn't you, who was your pilot episode four where you were in? the sewers for the Ninja Turtles. There was YouTube in that brief golden period where they were commissioning content called themselves YouTube Red for some... Oh yes.
Starting point is 01:09:11 ...wise reason. So stupid. Red YouTube, Red Tube. YouTube Red Tube. YouTube Red Tube. You're making videos for Red Tube. Even though Red Tube I think existed and was quite famous at that time. Well, they wanted to get that publicity.
Starting point is 01:09:24 The people that went to the wrong place, they're like, we'll take you. Google knows how to do SEO. So they were like, what if people mistyped the porn website and then stumble into a pilot. Wait, so you were in the sewer? What were we doing in the sewer? Guy Montgomery and I invented a thing called method film reviewing.
Starting point is 01:09:40 And so for the pilot of this YouTube show, which we were all assured was going to go to series. Man, it was so good, I can't believe. It was so funny. We moved into a New York City sewer and lived there for a week so that we could properly review Teenage Mutant Ninja Tills. That's so funny.
Starting point is 01:09:56 And we ate nothing but pizza. That rocks. Bring it back now. We did. Kind of. We just filmed a season and released it where we method film review Joker 2. So we moved into New Zealand's only full-time comedy club and lived there for a week and just keep watching Joker 2 on repeat.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Wow. It was crazy. Yeah, bad. Where's that? That's up on YouTube Red? It is wherever you get podcasts and all the video episodes are on our substacks. It's pretty good. We've just made it ourselves.
Starting point is 01:10:30 but it's, you know. How did you mentally feel at the end? Like, dead. Like, I've been beaten with a hammerer to the head. It was quite hard to reintegrate into society. I bet. It was because it's just. Did you become the joker?
Starting point is 01:10:48 We joke it ourselves. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You absolutely joke it. Man, I wish this was a podcast where we just talked about stuff. Sorry, me. I mean, I really do. I'm so jealous of the people who do stuff like that sometimes. You method podcast though
Starting point is 01:11:02 You're always here Oh yeah Yeah yeah And you're always asking people If they know stuff Yeah yeah And that's kind of your take on that Connor the editor really
Starting point is 01:11:10 He has I sent him through whatever 7 times 24 hours is a week And he has to bring it down About an hour and a half Yeah That's a lot of fat to card Shout out Connor
Starting point is 01:11:20 Yeah We love you It's all right Looks like the answers are in The answers are in everybody The answer is exciting Hey good luck everyone Thanks
Starting point is 01:11:30 All the best, Jen. Sorry, all the best, Jean. All the best, yeah. We're winners for being here. We are. That's so beautiful, actually. Thank you so much. You're welcome.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Keep talking to each other for a second while I can't pace these. And that's our great communication degree in action. Maybe this is the male stereotype that's actually true, but I find it incredibly difficult, and I was getting flashbacks to doing the live show in Adelaide, trying to come up with an answer while people are talking. Awful. Awful, awful.
Starting point is 01:11:59 You have to choose. Am I going to be good at the game or be good on the podcast? Yeah. And it's unfortunate that it's both. It is unfortunate, actually, for me. It's true. A couple of mavericks over here. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:12:12 The last time I shush someone in a sinwa was I went and saw, um, uh, what's it? That Brazilian film that came out last year that got nominated for a category. Bagonia, maybe? I don't know. I don't know what I'm not. I don't know what that is. And this is the other podcast where we just guessed foreign features. but someone
Starting point is 01:12:31 someone started talking over the opening scene of this like subtitled film they were talking to and I was like we are not jumping off on this foot you can't talk over the subtitles it started different anyway established dominance early in the cinema
Starting point is 01:12:46 I'm the big dog in the cinema and I am shooting did it work it did it did so prepare to be shows is that work yes the secret agent yeah that's what I meant when I said Bikoni
Starting point is 01:12:57 yeah someone told me they saw a begonia and I'm like oh okay yeah I'll be able to use that in a conversation I saw there I watched it on a plane and I have no idea why it's called there okay because it was based on it um another like a previous version a Korean version yeah right which I believe had the same and is it begonia a flower this is this is this the obvious one of the questions is this a sanctioned you'll save it for next week did that's one of the questions Yeah, imagine like in your time living in the sewers you probably would have seen a bit of...
Starting point is 01:13:35 I can grow. If that hasn't been edited out, that will... You have to clip that out and you can't let Tim answer. Yeah, Tim's not doing great if you're just tuning in. I'm killing it, everybody. I'm never even better. I'm crushing it. Everything's going spectacular.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Did you actually go to New York to live in the sewer? Sure did. In fact, YouTube, it's paid. us so much money and all of it went to me getting a rushed visa, like work visa, to some lawyers did exceptionally well out of us. Wow. That is so devastating. You love to hear that, imagine telling the US government, like, we have to get this guy in. This guy has to be here. We've got to get him into the sewer. Immediately. So she went that visa is often the alien of extraordinary ability. It's like, what's your ability? Um, sewer boy? I did. I applied to be an exception
Starting point is 01:14:30 sewer boy. You just got to pay them $30,000. Oh, yeah. Easy. That is. Yikes. That feels like a good system. I think they're a really good country doing things really well.
Starting point is 01:14:42 Absolutely. All right. The answers are in. Oh, my God. We're like pronouncing all of these, I'm sure. Yeah. Yes. I'll do my best.
Starting point is 01:14:54 Yeah. If you do put in an answer that you think I'll strictly pronounce, Feel free to put in phonetic things in future. But I'll do my best this time around. I feel like this is a great clue. Perhaps I may, maybe. I'll put my ears pricked. Yeah, I picked a really simple word.
Starting point is 01:15:12 I actually don't remember the word I just wrote to you. You're doing great. Brother, I'm worried about you, Gene. I am worried about myself. I love you and I'm worried about you. I came into this. I think we need to pause the quiz and just all have a good chat. That's the only way you can get me to stop
Starting point is 01:15:29 is by like luring me with a podcast. Hey, it'll be an hour and a half We get to just say whatever you want. You'll get two clips to use afterwards. Fantastic. We will get two clips, right? Yeah, you'll get it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:15:44 Connor always delivers two clips. I think the only cockle, there's like a nursery rhyme that says cockle shells, I think. You're right. Yeah. Oh, Mary, Mary, Mary. Mary.
Starting point is 01:15:57 Mary. You're on my mind. You're on my mind. I'm a bitch. Silver bells and cockles and pretty maids all in a row. Yes. It's about how she killed a bunch of people. Oh.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Yeah, the pretty maids all in a row. They're all buried in a row in the cemetery. Did you say she killed somewhere? Yeah, Mary Queen of Scots. Women can kill. Women can kill. Women know shells. Women can be nominees, Tim.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Maybe the MN stem is murder. Murder. Wow. There's three imms now. Well, I feel like you've just helped me write a question for next week. Great. What is that nursery I'm really about? No one's guessing that.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Is that common knowledge? Follow up. Can I come on next week? Yeah. I've got some answers to you. People know that. You know how all those nursery rhymes are always about. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Because the thing is like, they were kind of living under a fascist dictatorship because Mary Queen of Scots was like very late. Fetious sectatorship, never heard of it. Never heard of it. It's not like anything now. And yeah, so they had to make nursery rooms to like kind of tell stories about things without telling the story. Yeah, Mary Mary quite contrary because she always changed her mind on things. She always set one rule from one people and then did some for others.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Wow. So like what's the music in our time under fascist leaders? You know, we've got... Chapel Ryan. Yeah, life of a showgirl. Oh, but Mr. Worldwide. Yeah. Dali.
Starting point is 01:17:25 He's preaching the doctor. He's saying the world needs to unite. If you gave me an entire week, I couldn't think of a better answer than DJ Caldard. Another one. And he's talking about fascist leaders.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, true. Very good. Very nice. Wait, what is it more? And what kind of person is a more? Isn't it a black Scottish person? Yeah, something like that.
Starting point is 01:17:51 Oh, okay. It's what I thought Othello was. one. He was one. That sounds bad the way you say it though. He's dead by now. It was a long time. He surely is dead by now. I'm kind of relieved that no one, because I've got like a vague sense, but it might be a bit wrong, but I like
Starting point is 01:18:08 that no one's correcting me on it. What? Oh, wait for it. Oh, yeah, sorry, in the room, my name. Yeah, wait for a few weeks. You're like, what? Why am I cancelled? I unfortunately tuned out at the minute you said what you were talking about, and I've been trying to jump back in. But I think it's become no clearer the whole time.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Do you know what a Moor is in terms of like the people, the Moors? No. From Scotland? No. I'm going to assume it was maybe Africans brought against their will to Scotland. I'm assuming. Yeah, I'm sorry for bringing this back up. Let's guess.
Starting point is 01:18:43 I'm so glad I picked this as my team. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Apparently, in North Lowe, Moore refers to a North African or Arab of Muslim descent. distinguishing Othello is a dark-skinned non-European and non-Christian other in 16th century Venice On Venus. Oh, okay, my bed.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Yeah. I was in the neighbourhood of Greek. Yeah, probably thinking Macbeth, one of the other big boys. I don't know. I don't know Shakespeare. It's just because I'm listening to an audio book as I go to sleep at the moment about Shakespeare. Really?
Starting point is 01:19:16 The history of Shakespeare. You're listening to the history of Shakespeare before you go to bed. Yeah. It is shocking to me. me. Yeah. That's what helps you get to sleep. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:19:26 Did you see Hamnet and you were inspired? No, I don't. I can't sit through Shakespeare. It's not Shakespeare. It's a movie about Shakespeare. You're reading, I don't enjoy that. You're listening to a book about Shakespeare. Every fact that it comes out of your mouth about yourself, I'm just baffled by.
Starting point is 01:19:44 I like, I like hearing about the man and what his life might have been. I like the history. Do you think this one guy? Or do you think it was a collection of rights? He was his wife? I mean, based on this audio book, there's so little, like, known history about him. A lot of it is guess work. And I guess that's why people are filling in the blanks with a lot of fun conspiracies.
Starting point is 01:20:07 I feel like you're filling in the blanks because you listen to maybe the first half of a chapter before you fall asleep. And then you're like, yeah, no one really knows anything about him. How could you? You know, there are people really sleeping through that period of history. Can I loudly pour this? Oh yeah. Can you do it on mic please? Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 01:20:29 Any of some milestone? Oh, Tim's really used to this wildcard here beautifully. Let me just say that. And this is kind of the stuff you were studying at university, right? Commerce. Imagine if someone got confused, like, what's your degree in commas? Commis? Comis?
Starting point is 01:20:48 Commer. That is generally, that was my. Three-month degree. and commerce. My first preference was the commerce. Didn't have the grades. Hey, let's all say on three what our favorite punctuation mark is.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Oh. One, two, three. Cone. Cerellation mark. Oh. With semi-colon the comma and dot? Yep. Yeah, I like going just straight up double dot.
Starting point is 01:21:12 Because I like, I love semicolon and dot because that means that is to say. And I think that's such a funny symbol to be like, we have to have a short hand for this. Yeah. What did you say? It's kind of a redundant. Exactly. You don't need to say at all.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Yeah. It could literally be a full stop. I said full stop because I like closure. Oh, that's a classic. Your principal, do you have boundaries? I do. You want, and I sit them.
Starting point is 01:21:36 And when we were going flip flopping about Netflix, you were like, nah, fuck them. Full stop. Yes. I was like, I was very semi-colon about it. I was like, but if they hire me again,
Starting point is 01:21:47 then that rise. I don't like them, but I'm also poor. That is to say. That is to say, I am open to opportunity. What was your one, Amy? I was exclamation mark
Starting point is 01:21:54 because you can't be mad if someone's like, exclamation mark. Yes, it's one that is to you? Yeah. Oh, man, it always reads a bit angry to me. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:22:02 This is upsetting for me. I mean it is like, positive. No worries if not. Which is funny because I do not talk in exclamations, but I do text almost exclusively
Starting point is 01:22:14 with at least some exclamations. Yeah, then you have to do the math of like one sentence exclamation, not the next one, you can't do another, and then you've got to come back up with an exclamation mark. You sounded insane.
Starting point is 01:22:24 No, no, this all makes perfect sense to me, actually. And you were colon, were you? Yeah. Yeah. I think it's just a beautiful looking thing. I was more thinking of how it looks and how it functions. Guys, this is the new Myers-Briggs. What punctuation are you?
Starting point is 01:22:39 It's fun that we had four different answers. Right. Yes. I really kind of thought we were all going to come together on one. Go us. Diversity. Yeah. It's it.
Starting point is 01:22:47 Look at this room. Diverse. Diverse. Diverse. First time I ever went to Ballarat, I want to say. Here we get here now. Here's a story. I was doing a charity show and it was literally just a guy who had just booked me off a YouTube clip I had done.
Starting point is 01:23:03 And first time I'd ever been interstate, flew Jetstar to the Avalon Airport or whatever it was. Grisky. And he was like driving me around Ballarat and he's like, yeah, and this is like our like ovals where like the football team plays and also people dog here at night. And I was like, what is that? And he's like, you don't know what dogging is? And I'm like, no. And then he like had to explain what dog is. Yeah, welcome to the big city.
Starting point is 01:23:26 Yeah, damn. You were flying down from Sydney? Yeah, yeah, yeah. To learn about dogging in Ballarat. Yeah, we have beaches, I guess. But no culture. No culture. No dog in culture, at least.
Starting point is 01:23:39 No dogging culture. Hey, while you're still writing your answers? Let's go for a quick break. Bye. Uh, that's just for editing purposes only. You really don't need to, you don't have to have a break now, but feel free to just, you know, take your mind off things for a bit. I'm finding the I can growl.
Starting point is 01:24:02 You get to do two answers too. Yeah. Oh, I do. Okay, sorry. Yeah. I was like, damn, I've come up with one so early. Are you Nossin this round? Yeah, I'm Nossin, sorry.
Starting point is 01:24:13 No, I'm not Nossing. Okay. I am nothing. I felt as though it was sort of softly discouraged to double Noss. because there'd be too many questions for us to remember. True. That's very generous of you. I'm an empath.
Starting point is 01:24:26 I sort of pick up on people's energy. You're an exclamation mark. You're an empath. Yes. You're an eigengrower. I'm all of those things. I've just answered questions. Fire message, Amy.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Clarifications. Yeah, why not? Okay. I don't think this was my best round. I'm just going to put it out there. I had a tough time. It's a quantity of a quality. this round?
Starting point is 01:24:54 I... No. Yeah. There's only one answer. Well, no, I thought you were Noss in this round as well. No. Okay, just me. You're thinking about yourself, Jean.
Starting point is 01:25:05 I'm kind of an empath. Oh, my God. Kind of. Opposite of an empath where I'm just projecting myself onto other people. It's all main character syndrome. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:17 That main character is a winner, so we support. The order, I don't put them in and the order they come in. I just put the, I just, especially for the live shows, but then as well, I'm like, you can't, you know, like, it's like a comedy line up. No one can follow fuckheads gap. So I put it at the bottom. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:40 I'm like, you've got to finish with fuckheads gap. That's a closer. Yeah, that's a closer. That's the headliner. That's good to know. That's good to know. But then you're put, you're kind of putting too much, you're putting your thumb on the scale a little of a little bit.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. certainly. I'm incorrectly assessed. No arguments for me. I didn't think it. Yeah, which makes more sense at the live shows because, you know,
Starting point is 01:26:01 you're thinking about the audience reactions, but I don't know. In that, I'm just like, I've got to put fuckheads gap at the back. I appreciate it. I hear, I'm enjoying the feedback and I appreciate it. Then you get recency bias. Now that you've finished, Amy, my heart was just going out to you that whole time. Yeah, that sucks. Two of them.
Starting point is 01:26:17 The little monkeys just doing the cogs in there, working the machines. I reckon I've risen to the occasion. Oh, I'm excited. Let's hear of Matt. Based off Matt's reaction, I think he disagrees. Their silence is what I call fuck-ed's game. She's just written a bunch of slurs. Tricky terrain to navigate.
Starting point is 01:26:44 Because when you say to, well, you're a little younger than me. I've got no idea how old you are. I mean, I'm assuming. Oh, let's guess. Let's not. I'm 38, so I'm steadfast millennial territory. I mean I'm a little bit younger than you. How old are you?
Starting point is 01:26:59 36. That's my definition. Is that not completely correct? No, I just wanted you to tell me I looked little younger. I started freaking out instantly, though. You do look younger than 36. Thank you. But also, we've known each other for like 12 years.
Starting point is 01:27:12 So you posted a photo from 2011 or whatever. I'm like, I'm pretty sure I took that photo. Oh, no, how lovely. Oh, that's so cute. But like, when I think back to high school bullying, turns on, like I don't want to be attached to the, I don't want my answer to be attached to me on a podcast going out to everyone. Yeah, you can't say what we were saying
Starting point is 01:27:28 in high school. No, no. So you're not going to guess how old I am. Coward. You can't win though, can you? When was the maker mermaid's maid? Um, we should be able to ask a certain amount of questions. I want to do, I want to take the riskiest, like, version of this. Here's what you know about Amy. Yeah. Exclamation mark. Oh yeah. Well, shit. That says young. Total shoot from the hip
Starting point is 01:27:53 28 is my total shoot from the hip This is the best day of my life Oh my God Anyone else want to put in a guess Before I celebrate for her? She's actually underage So she's feels sedation She's like oh man
Starting point is 01:28:04 I'll let me that's like that's great Right Yeah Nice I'm all the high school slang Because I'm there No I'm 34 So thanks for the
Starting point is 01:28:17 Oh my goodness Thank you so much You're probably in like Offensive bullying terminology terrain as well when you were at high school. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you guys are Aussies as well,
Starting point is 01:28:25 so I feel like you guys are quite ruthless in high school. I got done for bullying in high school. You were the one calling these people these awful names. I went to music school, so it was like, shooting fish and a barrel. Bullying work there.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Well, it's just like I was the coolest person at a classical music school. Yeah, fuck yeah, of course I was. What instrument did you play? Double bass, the coolest instruments. Oh, famously. 100%. Because that's jazz, baby.
Starting point is 01:28:50 That's scar. Did you have one that you hated the most, an instrument that you're like, oh, fucking oboes? Oh, the people, the people, the instrument I hated the most probably. No, let's start with people. What group of people did you hate the most of high school? A race, if you will. No, um.
Starting point is 01:29:09 What, you never said how you feel about the moors. Yeah. No, I just remember, like, violinists being so annoying. Because they can never get this shit together. And because they're one of the largest sections in the orchestra. They're quite flitty. They're just like, they can never fucking learn a piece. Because they're never the backbone of it.
Starting point is 01:29:29 It's like they're, they're lettuce in the sandwich of the orchestra, right? In that like, no, they're not lettuce. What's an upright bass in the sandwich metaphor? That's the spine, obviously. The spine of the sandwich. Yeah, it's, oh, in the, okay, so in the sandwich of the orchestra, I would say like you have structural, like, instruments, right?
Starting point is 01:29:50 You're the bread. I would say, yeah, the rhythm section, so bass and percussion, I would say that's the bread. And then I would say the meat of it would probably be brass. Like brass or even like cellos, like that kind of thing too.
Starting point is 01:30:04 Because they, I'd say cellos are the tomatoes, right? They bring flourish, they elevate, and then fucking violins are just filler. Like, they're just like, they bring texture, so they're like lettuce.
Starting point is 01:30:15 Because there's like 30 of them. So like all of them individually cannot fucking play a piece. But their collective effect. Incredibly dogging of violence is like,
Starting point is 01:30:25 I'm in my life. What are they fucking gonna do? They come to, oh, it's so heavy. You carry your double base every?
Starting point is 01:30:31 Yeah, I do. There's gonna be like swifties and you're gonna have turned to rock of the internet you didn't realize
Starting point is 01:30:37 was hiding the mall. And one of those things were like they're only good in a group. Wow. You heard it here first. Now I feel like I'm painted into a corner
Starting point is 01:30:48 right. But I do love Vanessa May. We love Vanessa Bay. Solo violinist, but she's playing electric. And also she's a soloist violinist. I'm just talking about that. They're out there. They exist.
Starting point is 01:30:57 What about, what about yellow card? Yellow card? Did they have a violin? Yeah. They were kind of that pop punk revival and they also had like string instruments in it. But yeah, no, I feel like violins are only good in a group.
Starting point is 01:31:12 And that's because collect. I want it on the records. Or unless they were like a soloist. I don't co-sign that. Okay. Because I am scared of the violent community. Fucking calm. Calm at me, bro.
Starting point is 01:31:25 I'm glad I just went to a private girl's goal. Jeez. But I got done. I think the bullying's hard. And fucking I am not surprised now after that tirade. My friend accidentally stabbed someone with his double bass spike. What? It went through a girl's foot.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Jesus Christ. What? A viola player's foot. Which is like bad because they're cool. they're not even they're like a like a burger not even a sandwich they're so cool yeah they're just like they're doing their own thing like you're just kind of the aura of the viola player you're like they're cool oh yeah cool wait what's a viola it's like a big violin it's kind of between a violin similar to a piano no no a viola is between the violin and the cello they have their own
Starting point is 01:32:09 clef like they have their really yeah yeah uh their whole thing is like around the middle So anyway guys, follow and like and subscribe for my classical music. It does feel like it's a YouTube channel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love how it's like it's like the nerds, the jocks or whatever. Like the political system at this school is unbelievable. Well, it's like the brass players. Like everyone wanted to hook up with the brass players because they have kissed the best because
Starting point is 01:32:33 they're always going to develop umbrage. They're on. Imagine being gone down on by a established trumpet player. Because they've got to get like sharp like kind of phrasing and you can only do that with your tongue. So you have to go like, B flat trumpet three years in hospital
Starting point is 01:32:48 And also married And is that how you've made a work You were like, I've got a good... A gentleman doesn't embrasure in town When are you in Brisbane? I don't know what the Venn intersectors of my guys And the people going to gen fricesters
Starting point is 01:33:11 I find because I have done a lot of podcasts I get very nice, well-meaning men and I get, of course, the most beautiful bisexual women in the world coming to my shows. And then I do get podcast guys who are like, ha ha ha, ha, yeah, she fucking hates women. And like, you know what I mean? They take the kind of, I'm a bit grumbly. So they're like, yeah, she's just like me for real. She'll say anything.
Starting point is 01:33:36 And she should. The docks, the podcast dudes. Some podcast dudes are like real, like one guy, I did this interview. I did a podcast interview. And I was kind of saying, like, I think this whole culture of like having a hot take on everything just for social media content is like bad and like not good for us as people and then he clipped it and used a quote from ricky jameses to be like jane fricker's just like rickie james and it was like you know people with their stupid opinion you know some fucking rickie james like that's a man
Starting point is 01:34:09 who's joking himself yeah yeah yeah that is the real life version of the thing i'm afraid that i might be coming across it absolutely happened to me yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I never like, the correlation that I feel like no one would ever ever made except for this one person. And it was on LinkedIn, of course. Like that? Of course it was on LinkedIn. Well, you get more corporates out of that. They do.
Starting point is 01:34:32 Booking some crazy gigs.
