Welcome to Who Knewit, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart, and our first guest has his special scam artist out on YouTube. It's Tommy Dasselo. Hello. Recorded right down says here, am I right? Mm-hmm. Well, depending on where you are when you listen to this. Oh, that's true.

If you're in Humding Studios isn't at this, then yeah, it was recorded right beneath your feet. Yeah. But if you're literally in any other building on earth, then no, it wasn't recorded in that same building. No, that's true. Okay, good point. And I appreciate you clarifying that early. Our next guest this week is currently touring a show I can see O'Leary now

The Ray is gone It's Ray O'Leary That's Tommy Desolone Well that name Yes I also recorded a special Downstairs and I insist on anyone watching it To only watch it On the second floor of Hyundai

Watching from inside the house Yeah You must be in here But yes no thanks for having me That's good to have you back And our third guest At one point stayed with you

Or vice versa I believe Ray or just heard But it was also a Billie T award winner and Taskmaster, New Zealand champion. It's Angela Dravind. Hello. Hi. So good.

I said that in confidence, by the way, off, Mike. I can't believe you're airing my dirty laundry like that. Airing dirty laundry. That's a good promo. I should probably promo bad company, which is going to be streaming on Saturday, on Sunday, on ABC. Oh, sick. Yes. Wow, what a pro.

I think that's a great call. You probably should. Do you want to tell us about Bad Company a little bit? Oh, yeah, Bad Company is Ann Edmund's show with Kitty Flanagan. It's on 815. It's about a rundown theatre that, yeah, it's funny. And Angela's not in it. She just feels like promoting it.

She's a no connection to her whatsoever. Well, I'm the wardrobe lady. and the theatre. And she's very good. I've seen the first two episodes. Angela's very good in it. I imagine it's really funny. Is that fair to say, right?

Yeah, I would say it's incredibly funny. I knew it. I had an inkling. I love when Matt goes out on a limb and just like says something crazy like this show with a bunch of comedians in it. I think it might be funny. But it's so good.

Someone, I was somewhere recently overseas or talking to some Americans and they're like, oh, what Australian? in comments you watch. I'm like, recently there haven't been heaps of them. Yeah. So it's cool to have one to talk about

with really funny people in it. Yes. So good. Exciting. I can't wait to watch. Ray, a bit of a humble brag from Ray. Already seen the first two.

Yeah. Yeah, must be nice. It must be nice. It was really nice. Hitting up that red carpet. It was really nice. Thank you.

Thank you for acknowledging that. So the way the show works is ask a relatively obscure trivia question. our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer I then read their answer as well as a real one and I have to guess which one is correct and the first question comes from Parker Riley from Richmond in VA.

Thank you for submitting Parker. I hope you're doing all right. I think things are getting better. Yeah, that's a really sweet sentiment to put out there. Do you know anything? Do you know this person or you just? I know the kind of person who watches, who listens to the show.

Yeah, fair. I mean, it's funny because he doesn't, every time he's on this show, he assumes every question writer is in trouble. Yeah, okay. Which to me is like a funny ongoing bit too, but to the other guests he's on with, it's very confusing at least for the first couple. Well, I also, I was wondering whether it was maybe just like, it's kind of quite a beautiful thing to just say, just regardless of whether you have inside knowledge or not, just like,

hey, things, even if they're great, I hope they get better than that. Imagine that. I don't know. Ray last straight after. which makes me feel like it's not genuine. That is the giveaway. So Parker's question is, what is the definition of the Indonesian word JAS? JAS?

What is the definition of the Indonesian word JAS? And while you're writing your answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. So you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant. And another point, if you correctly guess the answer, and by the way, I'm also playing as the house. And, yeah, I've put into my own fake answers for each question with the help of the question writer. and we get a point for each one of those that I guess choose.

So each of us can scribe up to three points per round, which seems fair, but the probability actually favours me. The House, and the House always wins, though. If you've listened to previous episode, you'll know that is nearly never the case. And to weaving things out, guests get triple points in the final round. Anyway, most of our questions come from my great Patreon supporters. If you want to submit a question, sign up on any level of via Patreon.com slash too do you on Pod, linked in the show notes.

And I can also tell you, well, I've got you, why not follow us on Instagram? Who knew it? And we're also putting up a lot of these episodes, full video style, on the DoGo on YouTube channel. And I think last time I checked, hundreds of people are watching. That's awesome. Yeah. Oh, wow.

It's nice, isn't it? Three digits. It's so much harder than just doing audio. Yeah. But when you see those 47 people have tuned in, God, it makes it all worthwhile. It's weird. The majority of people still like taking podcasts just through their ears. Yeah.

Yeah. Say what you will about the limitations of the audio format. At least it doesn't have a downvote option. We can just see some little thumbs down after sitting through hours of exporting. All right, the answer is for the first question. What is the definition of the Indonesian word JAS? Here are your options. It's a type of candy that's only available in Indonesia.

It's a group of gods. It's a word popular in Indonesian grind culture, meaning blending all three meals into a one-time slurry, one-time saving slurry. Good Lord. It's a joke so unfunny or poorly told that people can't help but laugh at it. It's the earthly smell you get after fresh rain, which some people actually do enjoy. Or finally, it's having the same chiseled physique as Jesus on the crucifix. Interesting.

Okay. Okay. Angela, you want to go first? Do you need to hear any or all of them again? So I have to guess who wrote the answer? No, you want to guess the correct one. Which one do you think is the real definition? Oh, well, I mean, Petricor is like the name of something after rain, isn't it?

But is that one is, is that the Indonesian word? I mean, they rain quite often. They probably just have, it's just a normal smell. Right, so it's the unrain smell that would have its own specific word. Yeah. It's not the Jesus Oh, I'm going to go to the Jesus one Chiseled features of Jesus

I tell you what, that was a quick U-turn It's not the Jesus I'm going to lock into Jesus What happened in your brain Locked in? Wait, Indonesians are Muslim They're a Muslim country Yeah, but they might have a word

Christianity is not as heavily predominant there So maybe it's not Jesus But you're not allowed to put up images of Muhammad famously in Islam. So maybe they just have a word for Jesus's chiseled physique. Well, that makes me think that Ray wrote that answer now. What were the other answers? A type of candy, a group of gods,

a grind culture word meaning time-saving slurry. A joke's so funny, people can't help laugh at it. The rain and then Jesus. I think maybe a type of candy. It's so bad. Yeah. Locking it in. I don't think that's it.

Okay. Again, I'm loving your technique. You've locked in two answers. You thought we're wrong. Yeah. This is where I'd asked the server, what's the most popular option? If I'd do that. I have a friend who does that.

It's so annoying going out to dinner with him. And he'll ask the waiter, if you were a food on the menu, what food will you be? Yeah. How was it going to narrow down? Tad quarter. What do we think? Lock it in? Yeah, I think a type of candy.

The sloy sounds crazy. All right. Ray, what do you think? Well, I was thinking that the Gaius one was written by Angela until she talked herself out and then back out of it. And I reckon the candy one is Tommy Desiloh, because I feel like we've had long, well, maybe not longer, But we've talked about, isn't there like a special type of candy that you like that you've gone to a specific store to find because it's been discontinued?

Is that what your show was about? Yeah, my show last year, I had a, yeah, I had a branded chip that they discontinued. And I kept emailing the company asking what happened. And they kept saying, no, it's still available in spite of the fact that it had been deleted from their website. So I could never work out what was going on. That's crazy. Yeah. They did something like that in New Zealand as well where the cheesels.

It's like a bongo type of chip. They said they didn't change anything, but they changed the extruder. And then they changed everything. What's the extruder? Do you say bongo? Yeah. Is that a New Zealand brand? When I was over there, there was Bluebird, which is a fun.

Yeah. Fresh brand. Bluebird's like how Smith. It's just a puffy cheese puff. Oh, yeah. A twisty. Hang on. Side conversation within a question about what does this word in another language.

mean we're now going what are these words in English mean as well. Sorry, you chose the wrong question. So cheese. I'm loving it. Cheezles and bloob, it's sort of our word for Jesus's chiseled physique that he's on the cross. So, Ray, what do you think? May I have the options again, please. Type of candy, group of gods, time-saving slurry, unfunny jokes that it's so funny.

It's so unfunny. It's so unfuny. It becomes funny. smell after rain or chiseled Jesus. They all sound like things that have been submitted for faith. None of them sound real. Like the gold one that feels like. Yeah.

Yeah. Time saving slurry isn't a phrase that's coming up on Wikipedia. I wouldn't have thought. I thought grind culture was a type of music. Grindcore, yeah. I thought it was a Tinder thing. Oh, grind. You mean grinder?

Grindr, yeah. Okay, I'm going to say the unfunny joke. it becomes funny again. Even it feels like something that comedian would submit but I'm gonna put that one. Okay, look that in for Ray. Tommy.

I really, I'll tell you what I want it to be. I want it to be the joke that is not funny that you can't help but laugh at. I'm quite taken by the fact that that would have, you know, I like a,

like Shadden fraud, like a specific, there's no comparative just like one word in English. Yeah. So I quite like the idea because I think what that says about the Indonesian sense of humor

is quite beautiful. Yeah, it's really endearing. It sounds like they're bombing a lot of it. Maybe that's why it appeals. Maybe I'm going to move over there. You know what? I'm just going to go with my heart. I'm going to suggest that that's it.

That's my answer. Locked in. This is who wrote the answers. The group of gods, I was Angela. The one about grind culture and the time-saving slurry. That was the house. And I'm absolutely doubting that grind culture means what I thought it meant. I thought it meant like people getting up in the morning,

most of the day or whatever. Earthy smell, you get after rain. That was Ray. Nice little plug in there for the show, really. Oh, yeah. I'm touring Indonesia, so I had to get it out there. The one about Jesus's chiseled physique. That was written by Parker, the question writer.

Oh. Now, Angela went for the top of candy. That was Tommy, as Ray suggested. Meaning that Ray and Tommy are corrected is a joke so unfunny or poorly told that people can't help but laugh at it. Oh, wow. Oh, thank you. Wow. We did it.

How do you feel, Angela, about Tommy sucking you in like that? Well, I don't know Tommy. So now I know anything sweet related has got to be Tommy. It was amazing how Ray just, how did you feel about that? Ray just had your number very quickly there. I felt humiliated. I felt a sense of feeling that I bet the Indonesians have like one word for, that in English it would take me probably a few sentences to boil down.

Oh, so far. Well, I mean, hopefully that getting that point, or two points for you, ease the tension. Mm-hmm. Because you are off the marks on two points. What else happened there? Ray got two points. Ray got one point as well.

Ray got one point. Ray, you've got to trick someone as well. Nice try, Ray. Can I get a point for guessing that Tommy wrote it? I mean, if you requested one earlier, I might have... Damn it. I do love to play that version. Anyway, it's fine.

All right. So after one round, Andrew in the house yet to score. Ray's on one. Tommy's on two. Here is question to you. This comes from two different people sent this in from Nick Slater and Neil Bolton. Oh, I hope you can find each other. Well, by coincidence, they both sent the same idea for a question.

Yeah. That's how you know it's a good one. Yeah, okay. Come together, share your troubles. And basically, you just have to come up with a fake name of an East African animal. Just the name. You don't have to describe it or anything. Just the name of an East African animal.

Two different people wrote this in. That's how you know it's a good name of an animal. Wow. Okay. And while you're writing your answers, here's some more info on JAS. I found a blog that talked all about it called Once in a Blue Moon, and they write, The Indonesian word JAS is a fascinating term that captures a specific social and emotional phenomenon, a joke so poorly told or unfunny that people can't help but laugh at it.

Unlike the humour that comes from clever wordplay or sharp wit, JAS humor is rooted in its awkwardness, simplicity or sheer absurdity. This unique concept sheds light on cultural nuances, and the universal experience of finding joy in imperfection. All right, so the answer is in for question number two. Which of these is the name of a real East African animal? Shikamu. Tanzanian dong sloth.

Berebe. Jeremy Pivens wolf rat. Gunther's Dick Dick. Or Tutankarman, San Diego. Okay. Okay. All right, Ray. It's up to you to go first here.

Shikamu, Tanzanian Dongsloth, Berebe, Jeremy Pivens Wolfrat, Gunther's Dick, or Tutankham in San Diego. Surely it's not Jeremy Pivens Wolfrette. I reckon, I thought I saw... He's pretty big in East Africa. Did you get asked to do that? He's known as a JAS in Indonesia.

Did you get asked to do his TV show, Angela, when he came to... Anyway. Um, Jeremy Piven was, no, but they don't think he got recast with David Heselhoff anyway, a natural swap.

Oh, whoa. Am I like, nah, were you on that? No, no, not at all,

no. This is the first I'm hearing of it. Yeah. How's it going? No, I'm not on it. Don't what are you said. Is it a Kiwi show?

There's a New Zealand, there's a New Zealand show with David Heselhoff shows around, uh, Reese Darby shows around David Heselhoff. Right. And that initially was, Brist Derby showed Jeremy Piven around. I, Reese may not have been in any way

and it may not have been in the pitch talk but it was definitely Jeremy Piven He was involved at one point Yeah, yeah, yeah Is that why you came to New Zealand? No, I think Just because his career is not going well As why he came to New Zealand

The only reason you would ever go to New Zealand Is to be shown around by Rees Darby on TV I don't sound pretty good to me Yeah, yeah, I'd go, that'd get me over there He is just waiting at the airport If anyone who wants to come to New Zealand you can Restarby

we'll show you around You can get him to do the robot It's great So you're locking And Jeremy Piven No God no The whole tangent Was how it's not

It could be We're talking about it though Yeah Maybe it looks like him Maybe Yeah The scientist Was a fan of him

Yeah That is possible Yeah Think of it like this The whole point Of putting these fake answers in Is to sort of Be able to fool

The other people Into thinking that they're real So why would you ever put Jeremy Pivens, whatever. I think, I think, though, Tommy Desolos submitted it because as soon as you read it out,

Tommy laughed. He's a fan of himself. I love my own word. Yeah, you should. You should be your own biggest fan. And I reckon Beera Bee, I reckon that's Angela Dravid, because I'm pretty sure that sounds

like a real animal that she's changed the first letter of. Or I'm just thinking of Wererby, the suburb in Melbourne. Which has a zoo with an African open range zoo. Oh, okay. But I'm going to, I think it's, someone must have

us to submit this because it was funny. So I think it's the Tanzanian Dongslaught. All right. Locking that in. What do you think, Tommy? You know what? Fuck it. I'm going, Jeremy Biff.

Come on. You've got to live dangerously, right? I've already guessed you can't double bluff me. If for no other reason, then to convince you that I didn't put it in. And what do you think, Angela? Well, I need play. So I'm going to go with Ray. I'm coming second.

I think you want to go with Tommy Dacillaz. Oh, but Jeremy Fivins is like, there's got to be a new animal. It can't be more than 50 years old. You can go with one of the other ones. Shikamu, Barabi. Sorry, when you say more than 50 years old, what do you think Jeremy Piven was doing in 1970 that made him so prominent? No, I'm saying he's only 50 years old.

You know, like an animal had, there would be such a recent discovery to call it. Yeah, but even, yeah, it'd have to be discovered within the last 20 years, I guess. Yeah. I suppose so, yeah. And he would be bragging about it as well. He came to New Zealand. He would have said, hey, I've got an animal named after me. Absolutely.

You wouldn't have been chewing Reese's ear off. That's how I got the name of wolf rat. That doesn't make sense, just like it's animal. Shikamu sounds like, it doesn't sound right. It sounds like a It doesn't even sound like what Snoop Dog would say either And that's sort of how we How you determine most of the career

What is what What Snoop Dog have said this What about Tootin Carmen San Diego Or Gunther's Dick Dick Well San Diego sounds like something that Ray would write Because he probably does like Carmen San Diego What?

So I think that's Ray's up He knows San Diego Better fun there That was I liked it. And I think Shikamu might be Tom. Tommy. Thank you for correcting yourself.

But which one do you think is correct? I don't think it's correct. I don't think it's correct. I don't think it's shikamu. I think I'm going to go with Ray's answer as well. Tanzanian Dongsloth? All right. Lock that in.

Okay, well, here's who wrote the answers. I'm feeling really good about this. So, Tudencumman, San Diego. go, Angela said that was Ray, that was Ray. That's right, point for Ray. Shikamu, Angela said that was Tommy, that was Tommy. Oh. That was very impressive.

Mm-hmm. But did you get there one correct? You ruled out Berrabee, for good reason. You wrote it, Angela, which Ray called. Oh, I did. Yeah. Was Ray's logic correct there? Point for Ray.

No. It wasn't about Werribee or changing the letter? No. All right. So that leaves... I guess it was named after like the curry powder that Ethiopians use. Better be. Oh.

That's good. Now, Ray and Angela both went for the Tanzanian Dongsloth. I'm afraid that was written by Dave Warnocky, okay, the house here. I just saw him before. I just needed to come up with an answer just half an hour before we record. I said, Dave, come up with an East African animal name and he came up with that. Oh, it's got to be, I just failed on a click there, Angela.

I don't know if you caught that. Like that. It took him a bit of effort. And the way you described it, ironically, that had like a very like entourage plotline feel to it. There's a lot of like moving parts and last minutes and high stakes. That's right. Watch it on YouTube for the premiere next week, I think.

Pot Entourage. Yeah, absolutely. Now Tommy went for Jeremy Pivens, Wolfrat. I'm afraid that was the house. Oh man. No one got the correct answer. Gunther's Dick, Dick. Of course.

Oh. Yeah. Of course. With an normal out over the year as well. Fantastic. That means you three gave all your points to the house that round. Making the house jump into the lead. Angel's on yet to score.

Ray's on one. Tommy on two, but the house now on front on three points. Which brings us up to question three. If we were entourage, would I be a turtle? You could be honest with me. No. I think you're the brother.

What's his name? I've never watched it. Johnny Thunder. Johnny Drama. Johnny Drama. Yeah. Johnny Thunder is what we, I think that's our way of around copyright. I'll also have you know that writing a fake East African name felt incredibly dangerous.

Oh my God. Absolutely. You know what I... And so that's why I did a put on Toot and Karma. I was like, this will be safe. Well, I went in a different direction and it worked. Jeremy Pivens, Wolfrad. I don't mean.

Okay, question three. Not one African word in there at all. Thank God someone else clocked that because I was sweating there. That was really stressful. Question three comes from Drew from Gig Harbor in W.A., which is either Washington or Western Australia or somewhere else, I guess. Well, keep your head up to... And Drew's question...

Name for the stars. Is what alias did disgraced US rep for New York Anthony Wiener used when sending sexually explicit pictures online. He used he had a fake alias. Do you remember Anthony Weiner? Absolutely. Absolutely.

If you know the answer, just still write a fake one. Yeah. But yeah, you want to write, what's his incognito name when he was being a grub and worse,

a criminal online? While you're writing your answers, let the audience know a bit more about Gunther's Dick Dick. That's kind of wiki. Gunther's Dick, Oh man, if you're at home, look it up. It is cute as shit, this thing.

Oh, really? It's a tiny little antelope. Tommy, I'll get you to just confirm this for the listeners. Oh, that is very cute. Could you describe it? It's like a tiny little antelope deer sort of thing. It looks. Does it have a long nose like a drowsy or a hip-node?

I mean, look at this shit. It looks like it was designed by Disney. Oh, holy mottling. They're very cute. I don't, yeah, it looks almost exactly like a little deer. Yeah, yeah. It's like, it's Bambi. Yeah.

Yeah. IRL. Mm-hmm. That's a term that people use online. Can you share screen so Angela can say it? Um, hang on. Just, you talk and I'll put it in front of your face. Oh, that's cute.

Yep. Yeah. Very cute. Big eyes. I was thinking, I was thinking I should have gone, Gunther, because that's the only one you pronounce differently. You would have said Gunther otherwise. Oh, right.

Just the umlaut made me think Gunther. Is that right? Mm-hmm. Elongate the U? I think so. Yeah. All right, the answer is right for question number three. I'm very happy with this group of possible answers.

Yes, now we're cooking. Really playing into all of our strengths here, I think. What alias did disgrace US rep for New York, Anthony Weiner used when sending sexually explicit pictures online? Miles Deep. Carlos Danger Huge for you Danny Dick Voss Pierre Delecto

or Jeremy Pivens Wolfrat Come on Come on A little come on from Ray Come on That's a little Reading between the lines

Ray saying Pete let's be serious This is I came to play a serious Yeah That's what you want On a comedy podcast How droll

I'm just come here to expand my horizons and you're all being a bit silly I feel with your little callbacks actually have you done that before on the show have you known what a future answer will be or like try to cede it in oh I haven't I should do that yeah you could stack it up yeah do it to serene oh oh oh holy shit do it to serene do it I think yeah yeah yeah screw that guy yeah yeah no he's he's got it coming he's got to come he's got to come Watch your backs are in. All right, Tommy, it's your go first here.

I do remember the story. I've seen that they made a doco about him a little while ago. And I've seen that, but not for a very long time. And he famously in the middle of the doco, because it was meant to be like his comeback story, right? But he famously started doing it again. Yes, that's right. In the middle of the docos. When you're writing next answer, I want to read a few paragraphs from this Atlantic article.

But it is wild how he was on his comeback. He just, he just, was. doing it again. He's out of jail. Yep. Which is wild enough that he thinks he can make it back from jail. Yeah. So, texting a minor.

Some of those sound familiar to me. Yep. But I don't know if it's from, if they're like buried in my mind from that or if they're just other ones that you've used in the post. Can you read them again, please? Miles Deep. Carlos Danger. Huge for you.

Danny Dick Voss. Pierre Delecto. Jeremy Pivens, wolf rat. I think it's Carlos Danger. Okay. Is the one I'm going to go. Locking in? Yeah.

What do you think, Angela? Um, uh, I didn't really remember this. I just remember he took a deckpack next to his kid, didn't he? Yes. His kid was in the background. For scale. Yeah. Oh.

Oh. It was a version of a Coke fan. It was the kid's face was obscured by today's. newspaper so it was okay. I think... I don't know if that was before or like he's had three or four attempts to come back apparently. Right, right.

And each time something, he does something like worse than the time before. Amazing. Maybe he finds that process arousing. Public humiliation. The coring back. Yeah. He could be into that. There's one that sounds like San Pellegrino.

Which one was... Pierre de Lekyllis. Or Danny Dick. Pierre Delecto. Huge for you. Oh, I should say the four is a numeral four and the U is just a U. Miles Deep, Carlos Danger, huge for you. Danny Dick Voss, Pierre Delecto or Jeremy Pivens Wolfrat.

We've got to go Pierre Delecto, but I don't remember much of the story. I mean, yeah. You've definitely picked the two that sound like... He should have used his real name. Yeah. Yeah, his real name is as horny as any of them. their weaners, yeah. That's what I was thinking

that maybe one of the options would just be a weaner just because, like, maybe he was a double bluff, like no one's going to think it's really me, like, surely not. Yeah.

Well, a really big weaner or something. Now, middle name really big. I like that. It gives me an advantage to go last, but all the, because the names left,

I was kind of drawn to huge for you, but would he use a silly pun name? Danny Dicklaus. What was the, and the first one again? Miles deep. Miles deep, no, I think. But he's pretty old.

He wouldn't be that imaginative way, though. That's true. That's so true. That's so true. So the creativity goes. I think Miles Deep, that's, no, Miles Deep, that's Angela. Danny Dick Foss, that's Tommy. And I'm going to go with Huge for you.

All right. Locked in. Here's who wrote the answers. Jeremy Pivens full frat. That was Tommy. Thank you, boys. Of course. So I assume there was maybe an extra one

Thrown in by Maddism. Now Miles Deep, that was Drew, the question writer, okay, the house. So you were O for two there, Ray. And guessing who else did it? Danny Dick Voss, that was the house. He was an AFL player back in the 90s. And it's just a name that stuck with me.

It's so fun. What team? Brisbane Bears slash Lions. Oh, yeah. Danny Dick. And the Dennis Committee used to really just hit it hard. Danny Dick Voss. I bet.

All right. Angela went for Pierre Delecto. That was Ray O'Leary. And, fun fact, Pierre Delecto was the secret name of the Twitter account that Mitt Romney used to use. Oh, really? It's such a funny name as well. I mean, that could be your future who knew. Yeah, I think that's fantastic.

Any listeners want to send that question in? I'll forget it almost instantly, but I loved it. That's just more a comment on my brain and memory than how much I love that fact. Sure, you know, you love every fact. I love all facts equally. No, don't make me choose my favourite fact. Now, Ray went for huge few. That was Angela, giving Angela her first points on the show.

Very good. Hey. Thank you. Which means Tommy is correct. Bringing it from the Mind Palace. Carlos Danger. It's so funny. What, I mean, if you didn't use it for such evil, I'd be like, I think that's a fantastic name.

It is a great, it is a great alias for something like that in that it sort of hints at, you know, some illicit materials. But it's not like explicitly rude. Yeah. You could be using it as a pseudonym for like anything. It feels like the name of like Johnny English's nemesis or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it does feel like. And Pierre Delecto feels like it could be from like a Bond villain or something. Yes. But Carlos Danger does sound more like it would, it sounds like less of a pseudonym than Anthony Weena's real name. It's sort of the beauty of it. But I also see someone being named Anthony Weena being like, I want a 60 name like Carlos.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, to have, yeah, to have a body part, slang for a body part is your surname, and then that offset by the first name of Anthony is rough. Yeah, a weenna. I'm sure the kids were really cool about that at school. All right. Question number four comes from Sam Shaw from Ashland, Wisconsin.

I'm so sorry, Sam, but you'll get there. And Sam's question is, what is the name of Track 11 on blues singer Tage Mahal's 1971 album, The Real Thing? She said to come up with the name of a blues song from 1971 by Taj Mahal. The band was called Taj Mahal. Yeah, the blues singer's sort of stage name was Taj Mahal.

Maybe birth name. I assumed. a shoot stage name. Beautiful name for a boy or girl. While you're writing your answers, here's some of this article from the Atlantic, written just less than a year ago on May of 2025. Our subject is Anthony Weiner,

whose surname was a burden long before it became a curse. So fused with his disgrace that you can't say it without triggering an avalanche of cringe. Weena, who was caught texting pictures of his penis first denied it, then admitted it, then resigned from Congress, then ran for mayor of New York City, at which point he sexted again under the alias Carlos Danger, was caught again, lost the election,

sexed at a photo with his young son in the background, sexed at a minor, and forfeited a laptop with emails from his estranged wife that caused the FBI to reopen its Hillary Clinton email investigation, greasing the way for Donald Trump's 2016 victory and hastening the possible end of the Republican democracy, as we know it. But for Weena, even that wasn't enough.

Almost 14 years after he accidentally posted the first lewd photo to his Twitter account, and six years after he walked out of a minimum of security prison, having served 18 months for transferring obscene material to a miner, Wiener is running for city council in New York. This was last year, and I looked it up. It looks like he lost it pretty early on. It came maybe four.

He's still got 10% of the vote, which is hectic to me. Crazy. Who's voting for him? It just says something about the fact that just your name having been out there. Yeah, the name recognition. never mind the fact that it's for something quite bad. People are like, oh, him. Hey, while you're still writing your answers,

let's go for a quick break. All right, we're back and the answers are in. Question number four, what is the name of the 11th track on blues singer Taj Mahal's 1971 album, The Real Thing? Got them agrophobia blues. Black dog.

Move and grooving, scooping, pooping. You've got to get it before you can give it. You ain't know. Streetwalker Mama Honey, but I do love the way you strut your stuff. Or running into the same person at the supermarket in every aisle. Relatable blues. All right, Angela, what do you reckon? Well, I like Taj Mahal.

I've only known one song of his, though. Oh, wow, really? Is it one of these? No, I only listen to one song. I think it's a problem with when I listen to music. You only listen to one song at a time. Taj Mahal does not sound like a very Christian band, by the way. It does.

Like, listening to one song at a time, I think it's pretty standard. That's sort of the default. Yeah, I just mean I'll listen to it for months and a time before change. Yeah, I get into a song like that. I love when you really, you know, it's a way to ruin a song too, isn't it? See, I love to listen to an album quickly, you know, get the latest Taylor Swift, put her into 10 different stereo play every track at the same time. Get it done.

Get it out of the way. I like to record it as a voice memo and then play it at three times speed. It's like knock it off efficiently. I don't think it's the last one, the supermarket one. Sorry, you'll have to go through the options again. You're right. Got them agoraphobia blues. Black dog.

Move and groove and scoop and pooping. You've got to get it before you can give it. You ain't no Streetwalker Mama Honey, but I do love the way you strut your stuff, or running into the same person at the supermarket in every aisle. Well, I think it's between three and four. I kind of see the Streetwalker one is ironic and could be bluesy. And the one before it. You've got to get it before you can give it.

Yeah. Those two feel the most realistic. And I think the moving scoop and poop and one is probably the house. and I think Wait like me the house or the question of the house because I don't know how to feel

Okay I think it's Tommy then Oh again A pivot Jeremy pivot No that's not anything going No no no No no come on No no no

No no No no Let me pivot Pivot's full threat And makes me think that You've got to get it Before you give it Is probably Ray

Oh okay I think Ray would probably write something like no ray wouldn't write a serious answer what do you like which one sounds the song you know which ones of these sounds like it's in the same voice yeah what's the name of the song you know carina okay it doesn't give a lot of way it's just a one word yeah and i don't think it's black dog um i think i'm gonna go for the mama one all right i like the way you strike your stuff locked in and yeah do i need to guess the the the ones for Ray and...

No, no, that's just been a fun thing you guys have been doing. You know, I just like to do it. Try get some extra points. Which hasn't happened, but... Damn it. You've been explicitly told that it does not get you extra points. Yeah, but it'll get me on the board, so that's the main thing. No, it won't.

You're on the board anyway. You're on two points. You're on the board the minute you walked in the room. Oh, hell we go. So what are you thinking? Premier. I'll cut the ribbon for the board. What am I thinking?

Oh, thank you. much um i do i yeah i think it's the the the the street walker i like the way you strut your stuff one you go on with that's the one yes and i reckon the pooper scuper that i'm going to say is i believe it was was sam the name of the question submitter yes and get better soon sam but i think you submitted pooper and that means i reckon the i reckon the i reckon the agoraphobic one that was tommy dashalo because you i mean maybe it's just the way you pronounce it but i think you said the word wrong. Okay.

So then, and I think Angela, oh, Angela must be the moving and grooving one maybe. Okay. Tommy, what are you thinking? I'm going to play it safe and I'm going to say I think that it's Black Dog. Okay. And in the interests of audience sort of interest in saving time, I'm not going to bother going through all of them and saying who I think wrote what. Are the audience not, they don't want to hear my internal machinations?

Do they not want to go? All right, well, let's go through the right to answers. Do the audience every time they look at the podcast, they go, why is it a lot longer? Then they see their mind names. And then they go, we got. We got to go see him on tour in the UK and tell him. Knock it off, mate. All right.

I mean, there's some pretty rain man-y sort of stuff. Ray, rain man style, Ray O'Leary. Yeah. Like the pun of one of your show titles, you know, that kind of thing. Yeah, thank you. Because you were right. Sam did write moving, grove and scoop and pooping. Well, it's because it's funny and Tommy laughed at it.

I was like, well, I can't be Tommy. And... But before you thought one was me because I did laugh at it. Yeah, and I learned my listen. I was wrong. I was wrong, and I've grown as a person. Here I am. But you were also right, I did write got them agrafobia blues, but it's, yeah, I don't

think I realised that I was spelling it wrong, but because Taj Mahal's in Agra. So I was meant to be like. I think it's agoraphobic is the real thing. And Agra is where the Taj Mahal, it was, I was trying to, it's great. It was like clever in a really dull way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And maybe in a way that's not very clever. Doesn't really translate to an audio format as well.

Yeah, yeah. This sounds like you're talking wrong. Yeah. It comes from the agora with ancient philosophers would all talk in ancient Greece. How was that not interesting? Come on. That was a really interesting fact, but I've got to tell you, I'd see all facts equally. It was just as interesting as all the others.

Now, running into the same person at the supermarket in every aisle, that was Ray Aller. That's a bit of, that's fun blues. Yeah, that's something you might get the blues about. Now, Angela was... That's what like people really complain about. That's what they got them into the blues. That's what they're singing about. Yeah, that's like a real weird owl blues or something.

You've got to get it before you can give it. Angela was closely on this, but not quite. That was Tommy. Tommy went for Black Dog. That was Angela. Oh, my God. And that means Angela and Ray were correct. It is you ain't no streetwalker mama.

What? Yes. Oh. Damn it. A big round for Angela there, two points. One for Ray. meaning with two rounds to go, the scores are unbelievably. Angela, the house, Tommy and Ray, all on three points apiece.

Oh, shit. Scores level across the board. Good thing I was guessing everyone else what they were submitting. For the tire breaker later. Yeah, for the time. So the penultimate question comes from Amy Jackson from Canberra. Amy, keep it up. Well, I mean, things are going well now, but, you know.

I was surprised there. You won't. But positive. Positive. No, no, she's not doing well. You were putting on a brave face for Amy. Yeah. Yeah, but we're all rude for you.

Amy's question is, why did a Roman man Daniel Licori make the news on the 25th of August 2024? Why did Roman man Daniel Licori make the news on 25th of August 2024? While you're writing your answers, here's some more info about that Taj Mahal. track. Sam writes, or the album, Sam writes, this fantastic live blues album also features songs such as Diving Duck Blues and John Ain't It Hard. Sam mentioned another song that I've trimmed out of there because I'm going to use it as a future question. Wiki says, The Real Thing is a double album, a live album by Taj Mahal released in 1971. It was recorded in February of 1971 at the Fillamore East in New York City and features

Taj Mahal backed by a band that includes four tuba players. Wow. I don't think that wouldn't happen very often, would it? That's crazy. Does even an orchestra have four tuba players? I wouldn't have thought. Yeah, great question. And I think this is going to be a great fact.

Yeah. Oh, here we go, yeah. I think the orchestra is between 30 and 52. What, tubers? No. I think you've had two tubers met. They're 30 and 52 what? According to...

Oh, I see, I see. According to a Greeley Philharmonic orchestra, there is usually only one tubber player in the orchestra, but some pieces occasionally require two. If they're doing Taj Mahal, they'll bring it a second guy. And you both have to work double-time. That's right.

Oh my God, the answers are in. And I really think that you've upped your game. This is good stuff. Holy molly. Well, I hope the listeners have made it this far. More quiz shows need the host to say, this is good stuff before reading out one of the questions. All right.

And I'll also say one of you wrote one so close to one of the house ones. I'm just going to cut the house one. So there's one less option this time. That's fair. Question number five, why did Roman man Daniel Licori make the news on the 25th of August, 2024? He broke into the Pope's bedroom and adorned his clothes and started to write a missive

forgiving all members of the LGBT community before being caught. Option two, attempting a robbery. He became distracted after picking up a book about Greek mythology on a bedside table, then sitting down to read it before being busted by the homeowner. He completed the world record

for most hard-boiled eggs balanced atop his head. He is the first Italian to admit enjoying cappuccino in the afternoon. Oh, finally. broken to the Coliseum after hours and drank six beers in there before police arrested him. All right, Ray, what do you reckon? Well, first of all, the 25th of August, that's an interesting date.

Does it pertain to anything significant to anyone around the table, maybe? That was potentially... I'm a bit shy to admit this, but it's my birthday. Oh, really? Today or on the 25th of August? On the 25th of August, which is the date that we're recording this. This might be coming about a bit late. Happy birthday.

Happy birthday. Thank you. Thank you so much for taking time out of your birthday. Come and record this podcast. Yeah, thanks guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ray, what do you reckon? A few crimes in there?

Yeah, I think. A world record and the guy just brave enough to say that coffee in the afternoon is fine. Yeah, okay, yeah. Okay, well, the coffee one's fake. I think that's the house. That's maybe Matt Stewart. High compliment. Yeah, I think Tommy Daslow wrote broken to the coliseum and drank beers.

I reckon Angela Dravid wrote balanced eggs on the head. And I'm going to go with, I want to say it was the one that was read out second. Okay, that leaves. Oh, the person you're getting arrested while reading the book. Okay, I locked that in. Interesting. Now, I don't know if you're paying attention. there. Ray may have only not mentioned one answer. He guessed your two and the house ones.

Maybe the one he didn't say might have been his. Oh, maybe I'm double bluffing. Maybe he's double bluffing. Or maybe I'm triple bluffing, which he's known to do sometimes. Yeah, or in real time realizing the mistake of trying to guess what everyone else has written. Certainly if you go first, yes. Certainly it feels like a hubris has come. Like egress, flying too close. Well, that's a, I mean, a good. I mean, a something you might read in a Greek mythology book. It would all be worth it to get on the board though. Tell me what you reckon.

Can I hear the first couple again? I'm so sorry. Brogan to the Pope's bedroom. Yep. Writing a missive, forgiving LGBTQ community. Tempting a robbery, got distracted after picking up a book about Greek mythology. He completed the world record for most hard-balled eggs on his head. First time to admit enjoying cappuccino or broken to the colesam got pissed.

I think that it is the eggs. Eggs. All right, locked in. Yeah, I was thinking the eggs too. Oh, no. But you wrote that. Why would you be thinking you thought it when you wrote it? I thought maybe he does have a flat head.

Oh, great point. Really great point. Because I was, in my, without it doesn't say anything about numbers. I'm like, what is it two? What could the record be? but I hadn't thought flathead. Good point. Does it say how many he did?

No, it just says... Yeah, interesting. I mean, it could be one. Completed the world record. Oh, true. Do you think that people, because the Guinness World Records, they get so specific. But do you think people call up Guinness and go like,

I can do this and they're like, we're not, only one egg. You kidding me? One hard-boiled egg. We're not going to... We're not flying out for that. To Rome. Yeah, I've often thought that. Like, how like, how like, specific and weird can you get with your world record

where they're like, I don't know we're really interested to give us some long fingernails and things of that nature. They've got an interesting YouTube channel where they keep track

of some of the records like you watch a video of a guy burst in as many balloons as he came with his bars and just going to sit in a bunch of balloons. There's an egg one with the head I think or no,

it might have even been like it was something hard like walnuts and he was clearly concussed early and he kept going he wasn't even hitting him anymore brutal.

watch. Oh, man. We will fly to Roma watch this. We will. So what are you thinking, Angela? Did that help? Oh, I think it's the egg one. Oh, I got on egg one.

All right, locked in. Let's go. Here's who wrote the answers. Do it to us, Maddie. I hope there's not eag on his head, but just an egg on your face, there they. The first time to admit enjoying cappuccino in the afternoon, that was Angela. Mm-hmm. That's the one, so that's the one that you go over there and they won't even serve it to

necessarily if you ask for it. the afternoon. I love an afternoon. Hardly up early enough to have a morning cappuccino. It feels like that. Yeah, it's a breakfast thing apparently. Yeah, right. For those who were just listening, Angela nodded in response to the question.

Sorry, yes, I did. Now, he broke into the Coliseum after hours and drank six beers. That was Tommy. Hell yeah. I deleted this house one. Point for Ray. Living up to his name, he was arrested for being drunk and disorderly in the Coliseum. Oh, wow.

Okay. Yeah, amazing how we synced up there. Oh, that was the one that was similar. I thought you had changed mine slightly in, so. No, I thought it was mine. Oh, interesting, because I read yours out word for word, right? Oh, no, I did add a cue, I think, accidentally. Oh, thank you.

It's muscle memory from the LGBT. No, I deliberately lived that often. And how do you? So, yeah, the Pope's bedroom was right. Tommy and Angela went for the egghead one. I'm afraid that was the house. Damn it. And that means Ray is correct.

Robert. Oh, hell you. He got distracted by a book about Greek mythology. He fully sat down and this old guy who was asleep, came out and disturbed him. Can't you see him trying to read him? Just take the book. Yeah.

Just take them. Bizarre. It's ADHD at its finest, isn't it? That didn't really? really strike me as something that would have made the news. No. Is why I kind of veered away from it. Well, the article I'm about to read is from the BBC as well.

Like, it made worldwide news. Wow. It's a funny story. It does make me want to buy the book, though. It must be a pretty good book. I think I can't remember if it's mentioned, I think it's mentioned this article. They get, yeah, Giovanni Nucci, the author of the book, was asked about it and how he felt. And he said, it's fantastic.

This is great publicity. Yeah, I bet. All right. So the final question, and I should say this is worth triple points. It's still truly anyone's game, even though the scores are now. Tommy and Angela on three, Ray on four, but the house out in front on five. Angela, the house does not get triple points in the final round. So you three are really in the box seat here.

As long as you don't all guess the house answer. But the question comes from Kieran Donahue from Brisbane. Keep it up. Come on, Kieran, come on, pull through. And Kieran's question is, or he's wanting you to write a fake one. sentence synopsis plus a tagline for the 1983 movie The Lift. So you just need a very short synopsis plus the, you know, the poster tagline for the movie The Lift from 1983. Okay.

And while you're writing those answers, I'll read this BBC news article by Zara Fatima. A would-be burglar in Rome was caught after stopping to read a book on Greek mythology in the middle of a theft. Italian media reports. The 38-year-old reportedly gained access to the flat in the Italian capital's Prattie Prattie district via the balcony, but became distracted after picking up a book about Homer's Iliad. Is that right? On a bedside table.

The 71-year-old homeowner is said to have awoken and confronted the alleged thief who was engrossed by the book. News of the failed burglary attracted the attention of the book's author, who told local media he wanted to send the man a copy so he could finish his read. after being caught off guard, the alleged thief reportedly attempted to make a quick getaway by escaping via the same balcony but was arrested shortly afterwards. He is said to have told police he had climbed the building to visit a person he knew. I thought I'd ended up in a B&B, saw the book and started to read it, is what he was quoted as saying.

Giovanni Nucci, the author of the book, which is called The Gods at 6 o'clock, which explains the Eliad from the perspective of the gods, told, I'massagriero. El messagero. It's fantastic. I'd like to find the person called red-handed and give him the book

because he'll have been arrested halfway through reading it. I'd like him to be able to finish it. It's a surreal story, but also full of humanity. I love how he plugged it in there. So good. The thief was reportedly in possession

of a bag containing expensive clothing allegedly stolen from another house earlier in the evening. I love his cover story. I was like believing his cover story until the fact that He literally had stolen items on him. Mr. Nucci said his personal favorite deity was Hermes, the god of thieves.

He is also the god of literature. It is clear. Everything fits, he joked. That's good stuff. I'm a big fan of Nucci as of right now. And was it the Iliad he was reading? The Iliad, yeah. Oh, it's a classic for a reason.

Yeah. Oh my gosh. The answers are in. Final question. Triple points up for grabs. Truly anyone's game. The question is, what is the movie synopsis? and tagline the 983 film The Lift.

A family on holiday pick up a hitchhiker who turns out to be a serial killer on the loose, trying to hide from the police when he charms the family. Hydgings and chew, as he asks to keep the family in the dark about his brutal strangulation of 13 women. But maybe this killer has a heart of gold and can win the family over before the ride is over. Tagline, this hitchhiker will take your breath away. Option two. Oh, they're good.

A lift technician finds himself drawn into a web of mystery and peril as he is, as he investigates the perplexing deadly accidents occurring in the elevators of a new office building. Tagline, take the stairs, take the stairs. For God's sake, take the stairs. Okay. Option three. I just laugh at a lot of that one. Option three.

One man has a vision to create a comfortable and functional bra. Tagline, one's man's mission is another woman's underwear. What's those? Those three option for? On their fifth wedding anniversary, Greg and Jolene start arguing inside an elevator that keeps opening on the same floor. Hell, emotionally and physically trapped, the two will have to work together to find a way out. Tagline, take the lift once, shame on me. Take the lift twice. Shame on God. Yep. What? What? Wait. The doors just keep opening on hell. Are they getting out at any point or not?

I'll tell again. Put clothes. I guess. I've pressed the wrong button again, I guess. The first two they were really confused. Stop pushing the H button. We know where it leads. Or finally, five strangers find themselves trapped in an elevator

and must put their differences aside to work together to get out. Tagline, next floor, action. All right, Tommy. It's back to you. Do you want me to just give you the tag lines As a way to run through them again? Sure This hitchhiker will take your breath away

Take the stairs Take the stairs For God's sake, take the stairs One man's mission is another man Is another woman's underwear Take the lift once, shame on me Take the lift twice, shame on God Or next floor action

The idea that just hearing the taglines would immediately call to my memory, which one they all were incredibly unhelpful. No, I know I thought they'd be more helpful, but some of them, really. So you got the hitchhiker one, the serial killer. Yeah, I kind of think it's the hitchhiker. Then you've got the lift technician in the web of mystery.

Oh, yeah. You've got the man had a vision for a comfortable and functional bra. You've got the elevator that kept opening at hell And you've got the five strangers Trapped in a lift together Yeah, mate, I'm so sorry, Can you read in full the synopsis of the technician again? Yeah, a lift technician finds himself drawn into a web of mystery and peril

As he investigates the perplexing, deadly accidents occurring In the elevators of a new office building I think that one. All right? Yeah. That's the one with the tagline. Take the stairs, take the stairs, take the stairs, take the stairs, stairs. For God's sake, take the stairs. Yeah, the tagline really doesn't seem believable.

It's not an 83 as well. I don't know if 983 makes it more. True, true. More room on the posters back then. That's the thing is I believe take the stairs, take the stairs. But the extra, for God's sake, that gives me pause. What do you think, Angela? I think the first one, because it's not really been made so many times. that'd probably make that again. Yeah.

And as yet, yeah, taking the lift in a different way. From a few others took it as an elevator. That one took it as a car lift. Wait, where did it come from? America or where was it really? Not said. I probably shouldn't reveal now as it's, everyone's already written there.

But I'll tell you in a minute. Okay. When it's no longer helpful. But I don't think it's that helpful anyway. Yeah, how many countries, that's what I was trying to figure out, like what? Anyway, we can discuss this. Well, because I think they say elevator, not less. Oh, right.

Which makes me think it's the hitchhiker. Okay. Go on with that one? Yeah. All right, locked in. That leaves Ray. What do you think, Ray? All right.

I think the bra is Angela because on Taskmaster she brought in a bra, I think. Probably most days, to be honest. right? Yeah, I don't know if you know this, right? I have several, right? And you're always going on about it. You can't help yourself there. Therefore, that one must have been you.

And then I reckon the very last one, that might be Tommy. Because the last one, I think, is the plot of an M-night Sharmalan film. My favourite filmmaker. But yes. But in that film, one of the people in the elevator is, the devil. So they've just omitted the devil one, the devil part. Which I guess I'm forced, oh, what was the, was there another one about an elevator technician?

Not the second one. Was there another one about elevators? The web of mystery, yeah. There was the web of mystery one. That was with the technician. That was one Tommy picked. Yeah. And then the other one was where the, uh, kept opening at hell, but there was no technician,

just a couple celebrating a wedding anniversary. Well, I mean, he'd have to. assume that anyone that's about an elevator, there is a technician involved, whether or not we see them in the film. That's true. Yeah, who's that phone button going to look at otherwise? I think you're going to have to pick the second one. I don't know, it sounds the most believable as a film, but the tagline is just dreadful.

So you're going the same as Tommy? Yeah, yeah. All right. Locked it in. Here's who wrote the answers. On the fifth wedding anniversary, Greg and Jolene keep opening the same door. tell. That was Kieran and the house.

So you avoided the house there. Well done. The one about the bra was Angela. Yeah, there was, right. But Angela did write two options because Ray took so long. I do.

Oh my God, an upset. It was... Does this ever happen before? The other one was a man must choose between saving himself or dying, saving three orphans. Tagline,

life is precious, but some are worth more than others. Oh, is in like the, who's he going to lift up? Yeah, I'm confused. Yeah. There's no lift element in that. There's no, it sounds like it's just the trolley problem in the film. Yeah. Yeah, but I mean the trolley, like there's a, the trolley also works no full cram as well, which is like what they're lifts at.

And also it's exactly. It might be a trolley going up a mountain. Yeah, so, lifting it up a mountain. And also it's not that their lives are worth more than his. It's just that there are three of them. So there are three lives that are worth more than... Anyway, we don't even get that. Well, that's what the movie's...

That's what the movie's discussing, I guess. And I'm not sure... I just do good things with it. I object to the tagline on philosophical grounds. Five strangers find themselves trapped in an elevator. Ray thought that was Tommy and it was. Yeah. Was that, were you inspired in the way to Raythor?

I sort of ran out of energy at the end there. I got to say that the cylinders are just... turned off at this point. You almost, well, you pitched... You banged it out too, though. Yeah, I don't know, I found it. I thought you might have found your muse. No.

And just flowed out of you. Yeah, I just, yeah, I actually didn't know that that was an M-night. Yeah, I was going to say you pitched an M-night Shyamalan film without the supernatural. Without anything interesting. Your next film pitches are a family go to the beach and that's it. Yep. It makes you old, but just at the rate that people just generally are getting old. at a rate of one second for a second

Angela went for the only one that did not follow the one sentence rule and that was Ray's I try to read it if it was a run on sentence Thank you I appreciate that Yeah that was Ray I was I tried to get well make it sound like a comedy

About a brutal murderer And still anyway Well it worked Thank you thank you for the It was the most hack one So I thought that was it? And that means Tommy and Ray are correct.

It is, this is the one with the tagline, take the stairs, take the stairs, for God's sake, take the stairs, which I believe might have been translated from Dutch. So I don't know if maybe the original might have been. So triple points for you two there and that bit. I'll give the final score in a second or I tabulate that. I can tell you, I found some, it seems to be have very mixed reviews. but I like this review that tells you nothing about the movie on Letterbox by Branson Reese, he writes,

I went into this not knowing enough about the Netherlands to be able to identify what makes someone look Dutch. Never again will I languish in that ignorance. It's such a bizarre review, but I love it. I follow Branson Reese on Letterbox. He's a great cartoonist. Is that true? Yeah.

Oh, that's so fun. I followed him on, I think, Twitter or Instagram for a one, Sorry, he was on Letterbox. His depictions of the Dutch are just terrible. Hardly tell their Dutch. All right, so final scores. Really, I mean, things are spread out in the end. Angela on three.

The House on five. Tommy, in the second place on six, but with a couple of doubles in that last round, hitting double digits on 10 points, it's Ray O'Leary. Holy shit. Oh, thank you, thank you. Wow. Thank you.

And to all the listeners, chin up. Am I wrong saying you also won Taskmaster? No, you'd be wrong in saying that, but thank you for reminding me. We're on Angela's season? No, no, I was on the first season. They trusted her on the first outing, and I was on the fourth season, where it was safely bidded in and they're really running out of options for New Zealand comedians. I'm always in the test season, but they're like, maybe we won't renew it for funding.

Well, that brings to the end of the episode. Do you want to tell us again about your new show coming out in Australia this week, Angela? Oh, yes, bad company. It's on 815 on ABC TV or ABC I View. It's Anne Edmund's show with Kitty Flanagan. It's got me, Cameron James, sorry, Kedapuru, and Ben Pfeiffer, heaps of cool comedians in it. It's based in a theater company, and it's just really fun.

I play The Wardrobe Lady. Awesome. And you toured your show to Melbourne, which I saw it. I loved it. Are you doing that at the New Zealand festivals? Oh, yeah, I am. I am. It's been rebranded.

I'm still happy for you. Yeah, I think it's really funny. It was really funny. Well, it was interesting because of the sort of the media you were getting. I was bracing myself, but you were like, you were on the edge of being like ecstatic throughout. Like there was, it hit any sort of darkness. You were, you know, it was just, yeah, I was expecting it. I mean, you covered some pretty grim stuff, I would say.

But you did in a way that didn't feel grim, if you know what I mean. Oh, thank you. It felt safe the whole way through, you know what I mean. Yeah, well, I think it's really funny. Yeah, it was so funny. I think that helped. I mean, wild. wild stories and, yeah, very funny.

Thank you. Thanks for coming as well. That was a huge punch. Thanks for having. Especially with a two-star review from Chortle. But the pool quotes. Important to shout out your bad review. I'm plugging the show.

Ray, what about you? Shout out to Steve Bennett. I think he's got a great eye. You're touring. It wasn't Steve Bennett. It wasn't Steve Bennett. That's right. Yeah, that was safe for me.

to say that. I am touring, yes, my show. I've rebranded it. It's called I can still see O'Leary now. The Ray has gone. I'll be touring all across Australia, going to Brisbane, soon, Sydney, Adelaide. Basically everywhere except for Melbourne, I've been there.

And doing the Edinburgh Fringe later this year. So yeah, so wherever you live in the world, check it out. So you're doing a brewery down in Launceston, I think? I've been there. It's a good brewery? The Duquesne brewery. It's a great venue.

I've performed there before. It's actually really good. And I love, do you know, Lonceston, they just have Japanese macaques in the middle of town? It's crazy. They're talking about maybe having a cullum because they're so inbred now.

Yeah, it's just been like one colony interbreeding since a rich guy left them there years ago. Right. It's a fascinating. It is really fascinating. More town should do that. What, cull their wildlife?

Cull their wildlife. Oh, yeah. Well, you know, like, it'd be great. Maybe every now and then drop in a freshie. Yeah, like I'm from Ongunui, but if you could go to the middle of town and see a silverback gorilla just sort of wandering around. Yeah, you'd do it. Yeah, you'd do it.

But then, but he'd probably break out, grab a starlet and climb out tallest building. But anyway, oh my God. Always a danger. Always a danger. Always the risk. And Tommy, so people can watch your special on your YouTube channel? Yep, yep. It's called scam artist.

I also made a video game that kind of goes along with it. It's sort of like a prequel to the special called Super Daceloland that you can play for free. You can find both of them at Tommy Dasselaer.com. I have my podcasts, How to Do Everything and Filthy Casuals, which is about video games. And I will be doing my show in other places as well that I haven't booked in yet. I'll do like Sydney and Brisbane at some point. Yes. Yeah, me and Serrana are going to be doing the same thing.

So, yeah, just keep following us on. Let's coordinate. Yeah, back to back. Yeah. Also, I should say I have two specials on YouTube of people who would like to watch Ray O'Leary content. But also go cheap But watch Tommy Deslo's scam artists And play the video game

That's incredible Yeah And then after that If you've still got an appetite for it You don't have to do all these on the one night You can space it out over a week I'd recommend bad company first But that was

Bad company first Then Tommy's stuff Then Ray stuff And if you've still Got any time left over I've also got a couple online A couple hours And you know

You could spend a bit of time Buying some tickets Whatever all right Thanks so much Johnny, so good to have you on for the first time, Angela. You're so great. Oh, thanks for having me. Ray and Tommy, always a pleasure.

Cheers for tuning in, everyone. Hey, if you know anyone who might enjoy it, why don't you let them know? And maybe you could even give us a five-star review. Anyway, cheers for tuning in to Who knew with Matt Stewart. Now that you know it, I've been Matt Stewart. Good boy. Evan's in the computer.

Oh, right. Evan Monroe Smith? Evan Monroe Smith. Oh, hey, Evan. How you go? Ray said, hey, Evan. How's it going? He directed my, he's directed both my comedy specials.

He said he's good, thanks. How are you? I'm great, thanks, Evan. Yeah, we're getting out. Have we started? Comedy festival's just finished. Ray, I did seven days last week. And all my subtitles have got heavy breathing.

If I say anything, there's heavy breathing. That's so fun. Oh, that's so funny. That's very, very. That's so good. Also, I was going to say I toured the UK earlier this year and people after the shows told me that they knew me because of this podcast. So thank you very much for it. I love to hear that.

Thank you. Thank you. And we're big in the UK. Yeah, we're huge in the UK. I hope you're huge in Tehran because I'm going to be touring. Okay. Yes. Iran soon.

Okay. Great. Yeah. I think we might have a couple over there. Good, good. Pretty sure they'll be free to come over a look at your stuff. They're calling this show the Australian. taskmaster UK, aren't they, Matt?

They are going to get that, yeah. A deeply confusing name. Will there be a premiere? A premiere, yeah. For the YouTube video. Oh, here we go. Haven't you been to enough? If you need someone to cut the, what is it called?

What's it cut the ribbon? I don't know if they do that for a film premiere. premier. That's more for like the new chemist that they have in a small town. Maybe, yeah, a new bridge or something, but you're still writing there, right? Is that what I've corrected sound? I have submitted, sorry, I got distracted with all the talk of premieres. No worries.

But us, all four of us will be in the comments of the YouTube premiere, talk about the episode reflecting on our time. That's a great idea. A little behind the scenes. Info, how long it took for the Zoom to be set up. It's a little. Matt hits you up to do the pod and he's like, now it's one hour for the pod.

And then a week later, it's another hour to do the YouTube live rewatch. Can I check where you send it to me? On Facebook, but I can sit it wherever. Which Facebook did it to my public one? The one where you still have the rainbow frame of your profile picture. I'll send it to me, Ray.

I'll sort of it. How often does this happen on the show? Pastmaster. I've got it There it is There he is I don't know why that took so long Does it come up often on the pod

Because this happened to me the other day with you I messaged you about something And the last time that we had corresponded Was on this podcast So I went to send you a message And there's just like 10 unanswered messages in a row Of just absolute bullshit That I sent you when I was doing this podcast

I used to would write Just a while later just reply Are you okay, man? I hope things are getting better. That's right. That's right. Yeah, I love that they've got that word. It is a beautiful word.

And it's a common phenomenon. You know, you hear a joke so bad, you're like, oh, I have to, I have to laugh at that. And I wonder if it is like Aussie tourists going over there that maybe it came from them laughing at Aussie tourists trying to. trying to have you been to Indonesia? Nope. So. So just the name of the animal. Just the name.

Right. Okay. Yeah, I went for a cousin's wedding and it was about as bad as you see it. Not my, not my family necessarily. Yeah. But just the Australian, there was a lot of Australians over there in Bali. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And, yeah.

Yeah. Pretty proud of it. You're really biting your tongue. You really don't want to upset any... I mean, it's a tough one to tee off on. You don't want to offend any Indonesian listeners, nor do you want to offend any Australians who hold Bali so near and dear to their heart,

which there are many. And I mean it was a beautiful place. The worst thing about it was us, you know? Yeah, absolutely. But that's true of most places. That's true of here. Oh my God, it is. This country without Australians in it would be beautiful.

I mean, you know, we've got so many Australians we're going to have on this pot and two of the three guests are from New Zealand. Yeah. You're welcome. You're welcome. It was noted by me. But that's kind of what. You know, why Hickey Island has so many Australians in it too, the small island in New Zealand?

Why do you think that is? Well, they went there and they loved it. Okay. All right, the answer is. Sorry. No, you don't have to apologise for making conversation on a podcast, Angela. I appreciate that.

How dear you, you paired for time. I thought it was fantastic work. I was just, if it seemed like I wasn't paying attention, it was because I was cutting and pacing your beautiful answers. Yeah, yeah. You have to do a lot of juggling on this pot. It should be noted for the listener. And that's in part why there is so much stuff to trim out and put it at the end.

That's like, as guests, scrambling, why isn't the host talking? He seems like he's not even paying attention right now. Oh, so you edit this to make it sound like you're fully seeing through the Matrix. Dang. And just like, people are getting their answers to you within like two seconds. Well, I think, well, I haven't listened to an episode in a while. Awesome.

But then you see you put it at the end, so all the dead spaces, you can listen to it. I hope he takes out some of the dead space. Like on a CD when there'd be like two minutes at the end before the bonus track would kick in, you've got to really work, you've got to really work. Before sleep going to it as well. Before Blood by My Chemical Romance plays.

I reckon you've got to edit it in the front or like in the middle, like in All Saints, they've got that little rat bit, just the talking rat bit. Like All Saints, I appreciate you using that as a reference for me. Because what a group. That song about them being on a beach. Heard of the other day. Oh, pure shores.

Pure shores. Pure shores. Sail. When I rediscovered that song, I was like, this song was a lot more about swimming than I remember.

There's quite a lot of. I told my mom they were a Christian band. They're all saints. Every single word of it's Mother Teresa. St. I can listen to them. These guys are Christian mom.

That's so good. You want to listen to some music from Francis of Assisi? We've got all saints. I mean, I was getting, I mean, it's pretty dry.

how to wiki describes it. It's one of the smallest ungulates weighing just three to five kilos when fully grown. So that's tiny. And you think that's dry, do you? Interesting.

No, as I read, I'm like, this isn't true. This is fucking fascinating. That's the size of a newborn. Yeah, this. You know, your whole show is dedicated to find out obscure information. You got to, you got to enjoy it, man.

You got to at least act like it's interesting. He's going to change the name of the pod next week to Matt Stewart's snooze fest. I was only saying that because I noticed you'd all sent your answers in. I didn't really need to... Didn't need to pat anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, and the main thing is look at it.

If you're listening, look it up. Yeah. Or watch the video on the Duke on YouTube channel. Well, yes, we'll be... Join hundreds of others. It will all be in the comments talking about. It's a little editing trick. I don't know.

you've ever used that. No, never. I like my ads to come in mid-sentence. How's your pod going? You want to talk about your pod while I'm cutting and pasting? Your new pod? I mean, you're over the last couple of years anyway. Sure, I don't have all that much to say on it.

Well, I mean, the concept of it. Yeah, sure. Me and Serena were on it last year, early this year. Yeah, I've done it. Yep. You guys are both great on it. I sort of loosely talk to people about things that they, know how to do really well and things that they don't know how to do it all,

things that they could teach me. That's sort of what it's meant to be. But a lot of times it just goes off the rails and we just have a fun chat, don't we, Matt? Yeah. That's what ours was. And like I said to you, I think maybe even on that episode, I reckon you got the best voice full stop. Oh, that's right.

You were very kind about that. And actually, it's funny you say that because I was editing one of them yesterday and I have to disagree. but well you're I mean I think that's probably how you have to feel about yourself

but yeah from the outside I don't know something about it would be yeah would be I can't imagine

thinking that about yourself yeah like loving the sound of your own voice listening back and going I'm on fire

at this time yeah yeah this sounds beautiful to me done it again more desolo

get more desalow in here I I think it's different if you're singing I think you enjoy your own voice if you're a singer. Yeah, I think in that sense, you kind of have to.

Otherwise, you would never do it, right? I guess you could say the same thing about podcast. But speaking, I think, is different. Interesting. I mean, I guess I like, I guess I like my own jokes, but I don't need to zero. Except for Ray. When Ray sings, it's also still terrible. Are you a good singer?

No. Do you not listen to that horrible voice coming over Zoom and saluted me? I can't split the instrument the tuba from the neighbor's character Harold Bishop. Did he play the tuba? He played the tuba. Oh, wow. I think he... He looks like he was.

He got killed off falling into the sea. And then they brought him back having washed up in Hobar or no, in Tasmania. But he'd lost all his memory and taken up a new life where he played the tuba. Oh. And then he sort of was brought back into Melbourne into Ramsey Street. I'm just double checking. So it was a Roman man.

Right, yeah. Right. Yeah. On August. August, uh, 24. It was in the news on the 25th. Okay. My birthday.

Oh. Of December? Uh, August. Oh, you're thinking of JAS. He is wrapped. Oh, I was about to, I was so confused by Ray's answer. I'm like, he made the news is he ran into the same person. Oh, no, he hasn't written it.

Slow news day. That's a pretty funny. That's a pretty funny. You got to remember that. Write a blues song about it. Tell us about the Taj Mahal. You guys ever been to Rome? Is it a person?

I've never been to Rome. No. No, I've been to Milan for half a day. Yep. I was just like stop over on a train road. And yeah, that's my only time in Italy. No, I had to wander around, but I just didn't have a lot of time. And I was like 21.

So. Where were you en route to? I can't remember exactly. But I think Austria. Okay. I think I was going to catch up with some friends. Got a young 21 years. old Matt Stewart.

Just a little bit of a backpacking Euro trip adventure. Yeah, you know, the hostels. Oh, my Lord. Oh, wow. If this bunk bed could talk. Yeah. Oh, good Lord. And I'd say, please, please. Take that pillow and I don't know if beds can be put out of their misery like that.

Please, can you pick up at least once on this trip? Don't go home with no yarns. I'm begging you. It's lonely. Just you. I can. I've told you about my travels. It's so fun to see Ansel's face doubting herself as she's writing.

Yeah. It's a full of... It's a pretty unfair seat because everyone else in the room... You're on the big screen in here. You're sort of staring at your phone, but we've kind of got a... You know, we're like, we're in the... I like the... You know, who suffers?

I think they're podcast people. listeners will suffer because my voice has no tone. I think he've done fantastic work there. That face was not earned. Also, this guy, is he like a writer? Is he trying to get an elevator pitch for, is he trying to get three comedians to do his work? Oh, yeah, that's fun.

Kieran, is that what you doing? It's a real film, right? No, this is a real film. Yeah, this is a real film. You're writing a fake one, but the real answer will be in there. But I think Angela's suggesting that Kieran is, just quietly asking us to do his elevator pitch. Oh, right.

He's able to just take the title and come up with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He'll probably rework it to something like Kieran's the lift, you know. Like he's Bram Stoker. I want to write a dumb one now. I mean, Ray's still going. You might have time. Okay, great.

You're in the window for Ray. You got those little three dots dancing away. What's he cooking up? Honestly, tell me, the dots aren't even dancing. I think he's stuck. He's in a group chat. What's? He's reading the earlier.

Okay, I've got, okay, so I've got R and I yellow, but I've got the is green. What could the word? Have you guys ever seen misery? No, is that the bunny boiler one? Yeah, I think I'm going to go see misery after this. Oh, cool. What's the, is that Kathy Bates?

Yeah. Yeah. And James Kahn. Yeah. James Donald Forbes McCarnes. It's funny that he doesn't use his full name when he's acting in Hollywood. Wow. It was out that Donald Ford McHick.

First opening for Shane Gillis. Now he's starring in misery. Now he's gone back in time and he's starring in misery. Whereabouts is that on it? There's a cinema near here that you can, you can hire. It's like a private thing. You just have to bring your own DVD. A friend is, yeah, I don't, I think they've got, I think it's like a catalogue of films

that you can pick from. Yeah, it's around in the industrial, it's in it. I've been there for a birthday, I think. Oh, okay. It's like an industrial spot. What did we, when we watched Anchorman. That's so sick. Dude's rock.

I need to hire the private cinema to, watch Anken Man with my boys. That's awesome. Misery is pretty terrifying. Is it? Like, what was the... I think it was like, it's my partner's friend group and they, like, the idea was that we'll all get together and watch a thriller. Everyone got to, like, throw one into the mix.

And then they picked one out at random and it's ended up being misery. Oh. I've not seen it. it's a pretty body horror kind of film there's a lot of tension so it's sort of a great thing to see like two days after the comedy festival for example it's very good I've had that feeling during a lot of comedy fish shows myself actually I think it's on par with the thing yeah okay cool but it's a thriller it's the same sort of like thriller crossover to horror I'm gonna yell that out halfway through this is sort of on par with the thing Is anyone else kind of getting that? He's feeling that.
