Hey, mates, it's the titular Matt Stewart here in 2026, letting you know about the 200th episode. It's happening live in Melbourne on the 27th of June, 4 p.m. at basement comedy club. And I've announced the first three guests, Jess, the Big Bopper Perkins, Mish, Big Wet, Whitrop, and Dave, the carryover champ Warnocky. There'll be at least one more guests announced. But in the meantime, grab your tickets. Welcome to Who Knew with Matt Stewart, the show where the guest Wraths are the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Scho, and our first guest is from,

thank God you here and Irvie went to an all-girls school. It's Amy Ruffle. Hello, that could have been all three of us at the start. Yeah, it could have been. But normally I would say you're from Mako Mermaids, but I reckon last time I introduced you, you seemed to be like, can we stop talking about that? No, I just think.

I've done it again. We've talked. Now, and we're back. And we're back. Just every time you mention it, she goes, a yeah, how yeah, yeah, yeah. A shiver runs through my body.

No, I'm grateful to be employed by the good people at Netflix. Yeah, we're employed. She's sort of volunteering, I think you... Volunteering. Well, in the way that they haven't paid you... For some time, yeah. So anyway, if Netflix is listening. Come on, go.

Give us some residuals. Come on, Ted. They just won't. And when you ask, they'll be like, yeah, we should, but we're not going to. Yeah, they're pretty emphatic that they don't need to do that. and you'll still want to work there, which we do. Our second guest this week was just nominated for best newcomer at the Melbourne

International Comedy Festival as Bonnie Pollock. Oh. He lost. Yeah. Oh, hang on. That's what I was for. He's sad that he lost. Pissed off.

I had a lot of money on myself. And I lost it. Well, everyone here has done a first run at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. I think you're the only one who ever got normal. So maybe just check your privilege. You'd be grateful, you fucking asshole. My first year I got nominated for Gibbo. And I've also won the director's choice.

Well, that brings us up to our third guest who won the director's choice award at the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. It's the resident villain of the show. Ben Ross. I'm not the villain anymore, okay? You keep on trying to push this agenda. No. This villainous agenda.

No, no. Okay, I feel attacked besmirched and slender. I would never besmirch. You besmirch me. Never. You besmirch at me. He's besmirch at me. That's a very important role.

I'm feeling besmirched. To me, for the last time I did this show, which was with you, Ben, you said all Scottish people are disgusted. That's right. But that's just a fact. One, I love Scottish people and two, they are. Ah, yes, that was fun. Now that I remember that, I wish I was asking a Scottish question first up. Set him off.

Yeah. Ask a skortish question. We had a real scot on recently. Anyway, I'm getting sidetrack. We got a time crunch on. Yeah, this is going to be a quick game because Barney's got to go and get on to Twink Island.

Are you, which side of the fence are you on? I am chasing. You're chasing this, right? He's a hungry little piggy. All right, so the way the shoe works, It's I ask a relatively obscure, trivary question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answers well as a real one,

and they have to guess which one is correct. And the first question comes from listener Ariane from Ireland. And the question is, what is the meaning of the word pedoflop? What is the meaning of the word pedoflop? And while they're writing their answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. So you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestants, or one of the other contestants.

So another point, if you correctly guess the answer. And by the way, I'm also playing as the house. And I've put it into my own fake answers for each question with the help of the question writer and we get a point for each one of these that our guests choose. So each of us conscribed to three points per round, which seems fair, but the probability actually favours me. The House and the House always wins off. If you've listened to previous episodes, you'll know that is nearly never the case, to be honest.

And that is in part because we've evened things up by giving triple points for the guests in the final round. Most of our questions, by the way, come from our great Patreon supporters. If you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com slash dogo on pod, linked in the show notes. Oh, by the way, we're filming episodes these days. So if you want to watch this episode, they come out, I think, on Thursdays on the Do Go On YouTube channel. No pressure, though. I mean, it is. Is a lot of it just watching people type in their phones?

I think that bits that normally edited out. Okay. But I would say this is still really a show built for audio. I'm sure Barney will do a pretty funny face at one point And that might be worth the time Don't tell us when though I won't, I won't But you'll be up to hear it

You'll sort of be like I'd like to that kind of I hate a moist mouth sound Gross The answer is for question number one What is the meaning of the word petaflop I hear your options Non-leaf based autumn tree detritus

Option two, 10 times pedophile power, but flaccid as hell. Oh, come on, Barney. At least try. This is all part of a strategy that I'm playing. It's a bad strategy. In reference to computing performance, a tarifflop is $1 trillion, then a petaplop is one trillion trillion operations per second. A pediatric disease that only affects children prior to the onset of puberty,

where the body will go limp with no explanation. Or finally, it's 18th century sailor slang for the sea. You've been out from the pedoflop lately. All right, Barney, what do you reckon? God, so many great options. All equal. I would say I'm going to go with the computing power. Computing power.

Yeah, that sounded good. Barney. That better not be yours, Ben, Russell. Okay. What was first and third? Just very quickly. Would it change your mind if it was? No.

No, I stick with it. I stick with it. The third one was the computing one. The first one was a non-leaf-based autumn tree detritus. I guess what was the second then? Ten times petaphole power, but placid as hell. Yeah, you can, that one's good. Yeah.

I guess leaf. Leif. I'm not happy, though. Leaf. Leaf detritus. Leif detritus. And Ben, what about you? So what is the leaf detritus again?

Non-leaf-based autumn tree detritus. Really what it is is not leaf-based. It's anything, but it's sort of defined by what it's not. The petaflop. Yes. Yeah, it's not right, is it? Oh, honey, look at the petapop. The fucking maple tree is petaflopping again.

Yeah, I'm raking up all this petapoleph-based detritus. Twigs and buds. Petap. What are you sleeping in the other room? And the pedophile one and then the computing one. Yeah, pediatric disease and sailor slang. What's the pediatric disease? It only affects children prior to the onset of puberty

where their bodies go limp without explanation. Pedoflop. So that would be a PDA pedofloap. Petaflop. Interesting. Pederflop or? Because there's always one thing that you, they're sneaky guys. The computing power is the one.

I mean, I know, I know that a T-flop. You know about T-flop? I know about T-flop. Oh, that's a real thing? That's a real thing. Wow. But what about non-leaf-based arthritis? I don't know about that.

Yeah. Check out the pet. Ah, the pet. Flop she looks angry tonight That doesn't seem right I'm gonna go child Child one Hmm he's trying to read

He's trying to read the room What about the sailors? What about the sailors? Did you write The child one? I wrote all five actually Honestly You'd have to be honest with me

Did you write it? This is the law 100% You did? Yes Big wing for the camera This is on YouTube now Get them wings, babe

No one picked mine Fuck it Let's do Sleepy babies Sleepy babies All right Here's who wrote the answers 18th century sailors slang for the sea

That was Ariane Okay the house The question writer Petophile power times 10 But flaccid as hell Amy That was Barney Even Barney figured

he wrote, just came through him. Now, Amy went for non-leaf-based autumn tree to try us. I'm afraid that was the house. Damn. It felt fun to write it. It felt fun to read it out. Ben Russell went for the pediatric disease. That was Amy.

At least I didn't give it to the house. Meaning that Barney is correct. It is the computer one, which also was what Ben wrote. So he sort of fucked the game. I think on my, so I delete it. You did one and sort of merge them together. So I don't know what to do with that anymore.

Wait, so you got the real answer. So we wrote the real answer, which... That means in Bolded Ash, you get more points. Well, this isn't Bolded Ash. This is entirely different. You actually get kicked out of the show. You're meant to still write a fake one, but I think Ben's going to get a point. Barney's going to get a point.

Amy's going to get a point. Great. Hey. I'm happy with that. Yeah. Yeah. Ben, that's amazing. No one ever gets the right answer.

And you wrote it out with the, I think even the terms you used were maybe right. Yeah, I know computers, dude. Oh, God. We know. I should have asked a Scottish word. I'm a smart dude, okay. Okay, knowing about computers does not mean you're inspired. Yes, it does.

Look at Silicon Valley. You would never do anything wrong to hurt us. Then why do you do so much improv comedy? You have other skills. Barney and I, this is all we have. Because I'm scraping improv for AI. I'm making my own MLM. All right.

So, so scores, well, everyone, but the house got a point in first round. That's what we want to see. Yeah, that's villain. That's villain. That's what we want to see, everybody. The house is the villain, yes.

No, no, no, no. The house is the hero. Yeah. Question two. Two people sent this in. Jackie Gillen from Jolong. and Amelia Mella from Melbourne and the question is

what is a common name of the weed gallium aparine to basically just come up with a fake name for a weed you don't have to describe it or anything just the name common name you come up with a fake common name for a weed while you're writing your answers here's some more info on peterflops

Merriam webserides a unit of measure for the calculating speed of a computer equal to one quadrillion floating point operations per second And Theray's Pelletti writes, A petap flop is equivalent to one quadrillion operations per second or 1,000 terraflops. I think that's what Ben basically wrote as well.

So there you go. Answers are in for question number two. What is a common name of the weird gallium aparine? Here are your options. Sticky Willie. Ficus Flacidious. Bastard Bush. Orchid nettle.

Roaming Brian or Hors Breath. This is a good one. You all go first to you. What a dream if it's horse breath. Ah, the horse breast is crazy in the garden. Don't let the horses get into the hornbred. Oh, I wanted to be that so bad. What was it, roaming Brian?

Roaming Brian. Roaring Brian. Orchid nettle, bastard bush, fiscar flaccidious, or sticky willie? Sticky Willie. I think respect to roaming Brian. I'm going roaming Brian. You're going to roam Brian. Yeah.

What do you think, Ben? I like horse breath. Yeah. Yes. I like sticky willie. I'm looking close to me. Nothing like whores breath to give me a sticky wheelie. And one of the other one, sorry?

Ficus Flacidius. See, we've already had a Latin name. Bars and Bush. I doubt that that's the way. Well, I mean, I'm maybe pronouncing it Latin, but it's written in a very, like, plain English way. Yeah, but why would it have two Latin names? Well, I'm saying it, I don't think it's Latin.

Why would it have two Latin names? It's two Latin names. Well, I'm suggesting this is not a Latin name. That's dumb, though. Okay. Whoever wrote that is dumb. Does and bastard bush. Barshad bush.

Orchard nettle. Orchid nettle. Hors breath roaming with Brian. Bastard bush. Or sticky willies all over the place. Sticky Willie Gallagher. And what's the Latin name? Ficus.

No, the proper name. Oh. Well, I almost fell for your trap Because the one I was just re-reading That isn't that. You absolutely fell for my trap And that's why I'm not going to pick ficus for Cestidius. The other, the real Latin name is Gallium Aparon.

I'm going to go sticky willy Because that feels like a sticky name. Okay. And Barney? It's really hard not to pick Horse Breath. But I'm going to go with Bastard Bush. Bastard Bush. All right.

Locker that in for Barney. He's right. The answers. Orchard Nettle, that was Barney No one picked it No one. I love your strategy Is gone from 10 times Pedipole panel

To one that is a very believable I'm like smoke Yeah You can't catch me Uh Figus Flacidius Ficus

You idiot It's a famous plant word Ficius Yeah but it's not a Ficus It would be Ficus is the wait I haven't said who

wrote that yet Ficus Flacidius that was Amy yeah if I'd said Ficus would you have No no

it sounds like a Harry Potter spell and we don't talk about that in the way please let me talk about Harry Potter

horse breath that was Ben Russell yes beautiful and in the message I said can I say this wink if I can't

I don't I don't say that That's very funny. All right. And if you winked at me, I was going to change it. Oh, that's fun. What else do we have? Bastard Bush.

They've changed the name now. It's called sex workers. Thank goodness. Oh, I see. Bastard Bush. Barney went for that. That was Jackie, the question writer, I'm afraid. Jackie.

Okay, the house. So the house is on the board. And Amy went for Roaming Brian, also the house, which is the number of a segment at the end of footy games where a commentator named Brian Taylor goes into the rooms. I know roaming Brian, yeah. Oh, and you still picked it. Yeah.

Love that. I mean, it could have been named after that. Or vice versa. Yes. It's such a good point. Thank you. I wasn't explaining for you. I was explaining for international listeners.

Oh. Some of who aren't familiar with the roaming Brian. The roaming Brian. also you're a woman so that's also oh hang on Barney Barney you were doing so well holding it back yeah I know and sometimes the avalanche it spills yeah

she wouldn't be able to understand post football culture yeah maybe pre maybe some that's just for boys yeah exactly jeez all right um odd what was the answer yeah that means Ben is correct sticky willie

Banny Russell. Oh, Banny Russell. Wow. Benny Russell's coming together. He's sticky willie. He's coming up, Ben. All the sticky willies can't hold me back. All right, let's keep kicking on to round three.

This comes in from Dane Helmers from Dignley Village. Go Dingoes. And the question is, what was American footballer Elroy Hirsch's nickname? What was American footballer Elroy Hershey's nickname? while you're writing her answers. Here's some more info about sticky willie. Amelia writes, I've always called this plant goose grass,

but as it's a common garden weed, it has gathered a lot of whimsical and silly names over the centuries, including cleavers, catchweed, Robin Run the hedge, and sticky willy. As many of these names suggest, the plant has a tendency to stick to clothes,

hair and fur, with tiny hooked hairs like Velcro, which grow on the leaves, stems and seed pods. It's native to Europe, Asia and North, and Africa. apparently it's been used in the past for medicine and even the stuffed mattresses. And according to Jackie, it was probably introduced to Australia from Europe coming over and imported seed or attached to the fur of animals. And apparently it's, yeah, it can be found now in nearly every Australian state and territory.

The answers are in. Question three, what was American footballer Elroy Hirsch's nickname? Roy L.Roy L. Crazy legs. Chocolate. Mr. Mittens. Kitten are kisses. Or horse breath. So, then it's your go first.

You got Royal Crazy Lids. I choose horse brain. Yeah, lock it in. Lock it in? No. Can I please have them again? Roy L. Roy L.

Crazy legs. Chocolate Roy. Chocolate Roy. Mr. Mittins. Mr. Mittens. Kisses. Or Horsbreath. Or horse breath.

What's his full name? His full name is Elroy Hirsch. Roy L.Roy L. That's good. Royale. Royale with cheese. Chocolate Roy is good as well. Kisses as well because of the Hershey's.

Yes. Hors breath? Hors breath, because he... He had the breath of all. He reeked of calm. Mr. Mittins, he could remain a catcher.

Mr. Mittins? Or a baker. So, yeah. Or crazy legs. Or crazy legs. Mr. Mittins. Is that what it was? Yeah.

Roy L, crazy legs, chocolate Roy, Mr. Mittens, Kisses or Horsbreadth. And he's a football player. He's a football player. I'm going to go Mr. Mittens. Mr. Mittens. Locked in for Ben Russell. Barney, what do you reckon? Crazy legs.

Lock it in. And Amy? It's Mr. Mittens or kisses in my head. Yep. So I think for the fun of the game, I'll go kisses. All right. Here's who wrote the answers. Horsbreath.

That was Amy. And I got a quick question, where do you get your ideas? Me. Roy L, that was Dane, the question right, okay, the house. Good one. Chocolate Roy, that was Barney. When you went blank your mind and say something, you also said chocolate. I have one neuron.

I have one neuron and it's busy. He's just fully the Easter Bunny Caught out It caught out by One of the worst detectives in the bids Ben Ben taught we did some backyard improv classes It's like a backyard surgeon kind of thing

Yeah yeah And yeah Ben is like This guy's calling you out on improv This is dangerous Now Amy went for kisses That was Ben Russell. Damn, it was good. Ben Russell went for Mr. Mittens.

I'm afraid that was the house. But that means Barney's correct, but his crazy legs. Nice. Chocolate away for the win. The tactics are working. You all thought I was down and out in the second round. Then you all doubted me because I accidentally said chocolate twice.

All part of the plan. All right. Question number four comes from Davidson Norris from Walla Walla Washington. And the question is, what is the name of a global chain of bubble tea shops based in Taipei, Taiwan? The name's in English, though. So don't write anything in Latin because Ben will be all over that. You just got to come with a name of a bubble tea chain.

What's the name of that bubble tea chain, but it's an English name? And while you're writing your answers, here's some more info about crazy legs. According to Dane, Hirsch was a tall, lanky guy with an unusual running style, and it is that running style that earned him the nickname crazy legs, with some observers suggesting that it appeared his legs were moving in six different directions at once. It must have been effective because he was a major receiving threat, notching 60 touchdowns in his NFL career and making both the pro and college football halls of fame. While you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break.

All right, we're back in the answer in. Question four, what is the name of a global chain of bubble tea shops based in Taipei, Taiwan? Here are your options, big and wet. Something trendy. Bubble or nothing. Bobba me, Bobba you. Don't yell at me or pregnant. Okay. Shame on you, Barney.

Each letter forged. Out of the finest steel. What's wrong with you? All right, Barney. We're back to you. What are you reckon? Good. Could you bang them out one more time really quickly?

Big and wet, something trendy, bubble or nothing. Bobber me, Bober you. Don't yell at me or pregnant. God, it's hard to go past pregnant. Why don't you pick that one then, I don't know. It seems too good. You should pick it.

You should have a big bubble, like pregnancy, and sort of get a bubble belly. They have a big bubble. Yeah, big bubble. Yeah. Sure. It's like that, I think. I'm going to go with, what was that?

Bob. Bob me, Bober you. I'm going to go with something trendy. Something trendy. Locked in for Barney. What do you think, Amy? I was thinking something trendy too. So, as a resident woman, I'm going to pick pregnant.

Okay. For real? Really? That's Barneys. No, we don't know that. That's... If you put in pregnant after five minutes of writing, you deserve to die.

I'll go big and wet. Big and wet. In, to contribute to Big Wet. Oh, beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. Mish Wittre. Yeah.

All right. Here's who wrote the answers. Bubble or nothing. That was the house. Baba me, Baba you. That was Ben Russell. That's fun. Baba me, Baba you.

Uh-huh. Something trendy. Oh. Now, Barney went for that. That was actually written by Davidson. The questioner out of AK the house. Very good. Ben.

Big and wet. Barney went for that. No, sorry, Ben went for that. That was Amy. And that was a shout-out. To Mish. Clever. Now, Amy went for pregnant.

That was Barney. How could you do this? You should be so embarrassed, Bonnie. So embarrassed that that's what you came up with. I was so sure if only there was a paragraph name. Some way that we could have known. What happened to you when you were trying to type that answer?

What happened to you in the womb? Well, that actually ties in. Yeah, yeah. Alcohol fetal syndrome. That's just being born in Perth. Yeah. Guilty as judge. I was born in Melbourne, so.

That means no one got it correct, which it was don't yell at me. Which I thought was also sounded like something Barney could have come up with as. Everyone's going, hurry up, Barney. I thought that don't yell at me was part of pregnant. Oh, don't yell at me pregnant. Don't yell at me pregnant. Oh, so don't yell at me. You thought that they were two things.

They were two things. No, I thought they were one thing, sorry, I didn't realize. So what I'm saying is I deserve a pity point. So Barney gets a point from Amy there. It was worth the time. Yeah, yep, yep. House gets a point and Amy gets a point. All right.

Penultimate question here comes from Rachel Rook from Sydney. What is a strange fact about British House parties in the mid-16-100s? Just a little fact. Sixteen-hundred. Parties were weird. What is that? Four hundred and six, twenty-four hundred years, if you go. What is a strange fact about British house parties in the mid-16-hundreds?

Sixteen-hundreds. What are we talking about here? What time is? Shakespeare. maybe. Shakespeare. Okay. Marlowe. Ah, yeah, yep, yep.

Yeah, right. So they would have done some weird shit. They would have been like, they'll come and inhale this lead powder. Oh my God, just quick score update for the listeners. Amy's on two, Ben and Barney on three, but out in front on four points, it's the house. Here's some info about this Bubba tea shop while they're on their answers.

Davidson writes, based in Taipei, Taiwan, this chain of bubble tea shops also has locations in Calgary, Canada, and the greater Seattle area took me a long time to realize it was a bobbah place

even though I was walking past it every day, but it's good tea, and it's listed in Seattle Metropolitan's best bubber teas in Seattle. So do yourself a favor if that's the kind of thing you're into and you're in that neck of the woods. The answer in for question number five,

what is a strange fact about British house parties in the mid-1600s. They would hire an old emaciated man to come and stumble in the garden and pretend to be a vagrant living there. The guests would then throw pennies at the man sometimes injuring him. Option two, women were not allowed to enter a house party

if the home did not have an entry foyer with ceilings over 15 feet. Option three, hosts would rent a display pineapple to add a sense of glamour to the event. Option four, the last person who arrived would be put in the stocks at the end of the night and have the leftover food thrown at them. Brutal.

A flamingo would roam the property greeting guests before being shot, cooked and eaten as the main feast. Or finally, nobody cares. Okay. What's your fucking problem, dude? You're making a mockery of this. He gets nominated for one award. No, well, that's a weird thing about those parties.

Nobody cared. It wasn't a big deal. Yeah, it wasn't a big deal. You just went to the party. There didn't need to be an ex-specific. Is this what you tell yourself when you're not invited to parties? You're like, nobody cares. Nobody cares.

Yeah. Like Courtney Barnett said that to me. Right. I don't know who that is. Okay. Yeah. Musician. Okay.

Sure. You just, that's a double embarrassment. Yeah, that sucks. From both of you. Yeah. Nobody cares, right? Yeah, nobody cares, Drew. Nobody cared.

I hate this group of people. Nobody cares, dude. I'm the only one who gives a shit anymore. Maybe Barney's making a play for a villain. I think so. I got jealous to the start of. At least I honour the audience by giving a hoot. I give a shit.

I don't know who Courtney Barnett is and that is not the game. That is disrespect. That is disrespectful. I know Australian gem. Now, Amy, your go. What do you think? There was a lot of throwing food at people. Hmm.

They loved that shit back then. Food panties. So yeah, the first one felt truly evil. Amaciated man. Pretty people were pretty evil back then. Women not allowed unless a certain foyer. That feels about right too. And bring it back, I say.

Bring it back. Display pineapples were rented. Last person arrived would be, you know, punished. Or Flamingo would be eaten after roaming or nobody cares. Oh, I didn't read the full thing. To me, it's... Courtney Barnett told us this. Thank you.

I don't have that helps. So either Flamingo or the first one of throwing food at an emaciated man. Mm-hmm. And that one feels too mean for any of these people to write. So let's go with number one. All right. Number one for Amy. Ben, what do you think?

I'm going to go Flamingo then. Okay. Flamingo for Ben, Russell, Barney. I'm going to go. You can't vote for yourself. Well, I mean, it's vast. You can't say it's wrong. We can.

No, you can't because you don't know if nobody can. care. You can even if you say there was a flamingo there. We just need to prove that one person cared, I guess. Yeah, true. Good luck. Hard to do. The burden of proof is on us.

They're not even sure Shakespeare existed. Yeah. You know what I mean? Exactly. How are you going to prove someone cared? Yeah, exactly. As if one person didn't care, they were invited to the party. I know Shakespeare exists.

I've seen Hamnet. Oh, yeah. Good? It's not ours. I haven't seen it. What do you reckon, Barney? Rented pineapple, I think, because that is fancy. And that's time was.

Fancy as fuck, dude. All right, here's the road the answers. Women were not allowed to enter the party, unless the foyer had high ceilings. That was Amy. You know it. Misogynist. The last person arrived would have food thrown at them.

In my head, I'm like, it would mean that the last person's always like calling up their friends, which they wouldn't be able to do, sending notes out of their friends. You've got to come, this party's so good. I can't be the last one here. Yeah. So the parties get bigger and bigger. Also, like, cost of living crisis, it's like, oh great, I get a meal.

Yeah, yeah. Maybe. mouth a gape in the stocks. The flamingo. Ben Russell went for the flamingo. I'm afraid that was the house. Oh, boo. Which I thought was very similar to Ben's one.

Only instead of a flamingo was an emaciated man. Ew. Which I mean, you went for. Maybe no one would be mean enough. They used to have, rich houses used to employ hermits. Yes. So that was another lie, truth wrapped in a line.

Yeah, isn't that a world? It was much earlier than I believe 1600s. Okay. Barney wrote, nobody cares. But Barney also got the correct answer. Whoa. Rented display pineapple. You do not deserve any of this.

Yeah, well. Rented pineapples. Imagine that renting a fruit. Imagine. Imagine. They're expensive. Rent a fruit, yeah. Now, we've got a choice here because it is 229.

Do we, uh, do you want to quickly write an answer and then you, we can, uh, no, I can just, I mean, we'll just be late. We'll just be late. You just have to be quick on. this one. Yeah. You can't take time. I don't take 10 minutes.

The main reason who we're running late is you writing pregnant. I'm taking five minutes to do it. While they're writing their synopsuses. Here's some synopsies even, maybe. Here's some more info about those pineapples. This is according to the Curiosity Cabinet. It's the mid-16-100s in Britain and you're hosting a house party. You want to impress your guests.

So for your table's centrepiece, you ran a pineapple. Yeah. Yes, you rent a fruit. You can't eat it. It's a rental after all. But by displaying the fruit on your table, you exude a sense of importance and class. Today's pineapples are relatively affordable. I was in a supermarket over the weekend and I could have bought one for $5. But in the 1600s, pineapples cost around $8 grand in today's money. So for anyone outside of the aristocracy, a rental was the closest they could get to this hoity-toity fruit. The pineapple first made its way to Europe at the turn of the 16th century. with Christopher Columbus, who took a plant back to Spain from his travels. The pineapple was previously unknown in the old world, and its exotic appearance was enhanced by a golden crown, viewed as the symbolic manifestation of the divine right of the king, according to Cardiff University Professor Lauren O'Hagan.

The fruit earned the nickname King Pine, and it became a must-have accessory among European elites. Charles II of England even commissioned a portrait of himself being presented with a pineapple. While the aristocracy could afford to own their own pineapples and invest in developing pineapple growing techniques, the middle class wanting to emulate the dinner parties of the rich would often rent pineapples as a sign of wealth and good taste.

Even this though wasn't cheap to do, so the pineapples would be passed from renter to renter from party to party over a few days until nature took its course and the fruit rotted away. Here's the final question. What is the brief synopsis of the 1969 film, The Valley of the Guangi? Valley of the Guanji You've got five options

Here they are Simon, a young boy On a camping trip with his parents Discovers a hidden valley Full of mysterious creatures Mysterious creatures Known as the Guineas Mysterious queaches known as the Guany

When poagers arrive Intent on hunting the Guangie down For their magical wish granting horns It's up to Simon To help his new friends Defend themselves Option 2 Hunter is a sophomore

Who has never left his hometown and dreams of bigger things. Sathmore. When the circus comes to town. Go party. He befriends the ringmaster and sets off on a cross-country journey. Only to discover life on the road is not all it's cracked up to be. Option three, a sci-fi epic set on the dark side of the moon.

A brave team of astronauts come across an alien race living in a deep valley. These aliens do not come in peace. They are not perverts at all, but they are evil and rich. With US dollars. It was so close. Evil and rich with US dollars. We are evil and rich with US dollars. We are the Guamji.

Option for a cowboy named Tuck Kirby seeks fame and fortune by capturing a dinosaur living in their forbidden valley and putting it in a Mexican circus. His new attraction though, called the Guangi, turns out to have an aversion to being shown in. Or finally, Stan lives an isolated life at the end of the world. One day a woman and her son pursued by mutants through the atomic zone seek shelter. Soon Stan and the pair must travel far for their search of a lush valley beyond the atomic zone, the valley of the Guangji.

All right, Ben, what do you reckon? I'm not going to overthink this. I'm just going to go dinosaur cowboy. Dinosauroy. Dinoscel Cowboy Locked in for Ben Russell. Barney. Well, I wanted to go with the last one

because it sounds, because they used the term mutants and there's a nuclear thing 1960s, but Ben was looking at me too much during that big. Oh. What do you mean? He was like he was studying.

Can you read them all again? Yeah. We don't have time. With his parents discovered a hidden bank for those. Some beautiful strong. A hundred. I think he wrote them all

while he's looking at me. I'm going to go with What was the first one? First one was Simon, a young boy on a camping trip? I'm going to go with Simon. With the wish-granting horns. Yeah, the horn. I got lured in by the horns again.

He's still looking. I don't know now. It's so... You got Simon. You got Hunter. I'll go Simon and the horns. All right, Simon Horns. Simon and the Horns.

I'm going to go Stan in the nuclear thing. Stan, the final one. Ben was not looking at you. I wasn't looking at him. Yeah, okay. All right. Here's who wrote the answers. The one where they are not perverts,

and then I should say in all caps, at all, but they are evil and rich with US. We're not perverts at all. But then it says, but they are evil and rich with not capitalise US dollars, which was a real rule that is for me, reading it for the first time saying, Us Dolls?

Yeah, yeah. They've got us dollars. That was Barney. Whoa. Crazy. So he's the ones he least exist me. Hunter being a sophomore who's never left his hometown, dreaming of bigger things, joins the circus. That was Amy.

Sophomore? Sophomore? Sophomore. Sophomore? I think Americans say sophomore. You fucked me twice now, dude. I think Americans say sophomore and Australians maybe say sophomore. Well, they say it wrong.

I think one says it different. here. The only other true blue in the house. Yeah, the only other true blue here, I would say there's a real... What, yeah. You're not a man. She just sounds weird. How dare you?

You're not American? You're going to trust chocolate points in me? I thought you were like, Ben, sort of a hybrid American Australian. No, man. You did live there for quite a while, though. Yes. Well, that's it. That's what I'm meant.

I don't take away my heritage. Okay. It does a little bit. Chips away. So I apologize, but that's how I say, sophomore. But you say soft-o-more? No, I say sophomore. Soft-mour.

You say sophomore, I say sophomore. Yeah, but you just said that's how I say sophomore. You can't get me. I'm rubber, you aren't glue. That's not fair to you. Now, Barney went for Simon, the horn hunter. Yeah. Or no, not the horn hunter, the horn protector.

Yes. That was David, the question. I'm on the phone. I've gotten by these David's every question. To the house. Amy went for Stan. No. With the mutants.

Ben was looking at you, Barney, because he did write that. And you read that so well. That's amazing. And that must have felt a little embarrassing to you that you were so needy. That must have been a little bit of you. The funny thing is, I don't even remember looking at him. Needy boy. What do you think, Barney?

What do you think of mine or are you? I do not even remember looking at you. The way he looked at me was like, that's the one. A little bit interesting, though, that... Weird. Ben didn't look at Amy like a... He doesn't see women. Yeah, yeah.

Like anyone here. I don't see gender. I'm brave like that. Ben knows he can manipulate Barney though. He knows he's got no help with me. He's got a soft brain. He is smooth. But that means Ben is also correct.

There's a cowboy and tough curvy. I'll tell you this. Have you watched the old planet of the apes? I just watch the sequel. beneath the Planet of the Apes, and they both star this guy James Franciscus. Yeah, right. He's Tuck Kirby, but he's also like the, he's basically the new Charlton Heston. Yeah, nice.

In the second Planet of the Apes. Tuck Kirby is such a good name. Tuck Kirby. None of these jokers could have come up with that. Yeah, everyone else didn't have the guts. We came up with Simon, Hunter and Stan. I think Hunter's pretty American. Come on.

I'd say Hunter was... Stan is a very 1969 name. It is. But we didn't do last names and that is on us. I did, but then I chickened out. Wow. What was the last name going to be? It was Stan.

Horbreath. I forget now, but I did delete it because I thought it was too much. Just as I'm adding up final scores, where can people find you? My Instagram is I'm Ben Russell. Check that out. That's got links to everything that you possibly won that's Ben Russell. Are you touring the show? I will, but I don't have any dates.

Oh, yeah. Suck it loser. In second place on six points, I think nearly all of those points were owned by Barney. But out in front on 10 points with a huge fun around, it's Ben Russell. Yes!

I'd just like to thank everyone out there for, you know, your ongoing support. I've been, a lot of your support. You guys have really been there for me and you said, hey, Ben's not a villain and I really do appreciate your support out there. I don't say that. This one's for the fans of the pod. You guys are stuck with me thick or thin and I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you.

Thanks so much for joining us, you three. Go see something good on, is it every week? Every week. Every week.

It's a dirty. Comedy Republic. That's a hot tip. And cheers for tuning in to who knew with Matt Stewart. Now that you know what, I've been Matt's show it. Goodbye. Oh, man. The storm are not having a good.

season. Oh, really? Yeah. I've not been keeping up to date. Yeah. Because my team doesn't come until maybe next year or the year after. Go Perth. Oh yeah, the Bears. The Bears. Gana Bears. Gonda Bears. Gorda Bears. She's a Perth person as well. No, but I... He goes for bears. I go for bears because when I was a kid, they existed in Sydney and they just had the same colors as my AFL team. And then like soon after with a lot of my teams aren't very good and they just like got kicked out. Oh, no. Brutal.

I don't know you could do that. Well, the storm after having a very good run for a very long time. They're gone. They've never been down. They've never been down. Maybe ever. They're on a six losing streak.

Oh, shit. What a horrible time to come into the organization. Are you trying to do like fun? I mean, I can't go into specifics what I do in the organization at all, but let's just say that there are whispers that I am a curse. What a legacy I know Like you're really Fucking me here

Melbourne store So to the point where they're like We don't have the budget we thought Tickets sales are down No I think that's fine But Yeah it's just interesting Isn't it

How the cards fall sometimes Yeah they seem like a team That would never drop Yeah, they have, six, like last on Saturday, they just got fucking destroyed. I think they're the kind of team. And I've, I've become quite invested now. Oh, no. And I don't know how you do it being a saint's fan.

That sucks. That's really rough. I don't know how you do it with that. Like, it breaks your heart. Like every weekend, you know, more weekends than not are sad. Yeah, you just get, I got really sad. I think this is maybe. Make those shit, but at least you've met them and you've worked with them. Yeah, exactly.

I'm sad about people I've never met. Children you've never met. Probably a lot of them I wouldn't like. Yeah, a lot of them wouldn't like you. Exactly. Is this maybe why, like, men are so mad? Oh, classic, my microphone. That is so bad.

You could put that back down. Why men are so mad is because their teams are always losing. Yeah, they're always losing. Yeah, it does. This is the first time I've really like, besides, Baseball, which it's hard to kind of get angry in baseball because there's so many games. There's so many games. So many games. Like, oh, we'll play again a lot in half an hour. Yeah, exactly. You're just like, oh, well, we'll just keep going.

Who's your team out in one of the Chicagoans? Oh, no, Texans. I'm strange, because I've got like three teams that I kind of will go for. That also helps. Yeah. So you've got every season you've got about, what, 4,000 games. I like, I love, I like the Cubs. And I like the... The copies. Is that from back to the future? The gobies.

Yeah, the copies. And I like Texas Rangers and... Walker. Yeah. Not everything is a movie. Thank you. Just let it be a thing, yeah? And the Dodgers.

I go for the Dodgers as well. Ah, the Dodge car that they drove in. Dodger. Then, you know, the... Fast and Furious. Is this what it's going to be? No, no, we haven't started yet. But, yeah, I don't.

I honestly have a newfound respect for St. Kilda players. Yes. Because you guys suck all the time. Well, not this week, I mean, are we recording? Yeah, I mean, we are. Can I date it? Yeah, yeah, well. I'd like to talk about my team's game as well.

Okay. We won. We, oh, your team. This is turning it to my team. What's your team? West Coast. Oh, yuck. We luck by a lot of points.

West Coast, I used, because I grew up in Perth and I used to go for West Coast, but I don't like them. So I switched. I switched to being a D's play. Oh, no. Well, they're going pretty well at the moment. Yeah, they are. Connor, the editor of the show is a huge baseball guy.

Yeah. But he goes for the Brewers. Does that mean anything to you? Yeah, I mean something. I mean, yeah. One of the teams. Yeah, it's one of the teams. Yeah, great.

The Tigers, love the Tigers. Got a hat? Yeah. I get the message, and they lose a lot. And I start my day often. I think you're the curse. I look at my phone and I see, oh, Tiger's lost. And that's how I start a lot of days.

Which I think is a really humbling way to start a day. My main two teams are Rangers and Dodgers. I know. I've never heard of the Rangers. New York Rangers? No, at least... Oh, I've heard of them. I think I'm getting mixed up, but anyway.

I haven't taken my ADHD meds. Uh-oh. Wait, are you saying your main team you don't know the name of? Texas baseball. At least they were the Texas. Oh, I guess Rangers is maybe ice hockey. No, it is Texas Rangers. Yeah, you made me doubt myself.

Well, in ice hockey, the New York team is the Rangers. And ice hockey is my favorite American sport. Having too many ranges. But I also, like, there are so many teams that I kind of like in baseball. Because it's such a... We're in a tight time sport. I know, I'm just like... You enjoy talking a sport.

Is it a sport? Say what the goss was without saying the person? I think so. They had, like, have an island and they bring the twinks out, and the twinks go and they hunt for twinks. Wait, what? Catch the twinks, you can fuck the twigs. With a gun?

No, with the dick. Okay. I thought for a bed you were doing that. Is that a true thing? It's a rumor. But it was one of the best rumors I've ever heard. That's a good job. They release the twinks.

They release the twinks. And if you catch one. And the twigs frolic around. The most dangerous game. Jeez. Twinks flounce around the island and you've got to catch them. You've got to get control. You've got to catch all the twinks.

Oh, my God. Have you? Oh, hang on. It's a refreshing. Okay, no. You have, uh, you've had, you've sent in answers. I have. Yeah, I'm sorry, Ben, dad.

Did everyone else use Facebook Messenger? No, no. I think everyone's using Instagram and it was just. Oh, I've got Facebook Messenger. Oh, oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. No. No. No. No, no, you'll know. You'll know.

Why do you think Scottish people are disgusting? I, because they are, they, they don't eat any vegetables and they drink, they start drinking whiskey at 11 o'clock in the morning, every morning. I think if it was like dreary weather for 11 months of the year, we'd all be disgusting, right? Because you're inside, you haven't got any sun. We're disgusting as is. I'm not saying that we're not disgusting. Mm-hmm.

Okay. We're no better. We are just most of Australia's descendant from Scots. Sure. My family is Scottish. Do you think they need like a stronger hot ambassador? Because you know like we'll be like we've got like Marga Robbie and Chris Hemsworth. So everyone's like, oh, everyone in Australia looks like that.

They've got heaps of hot ambassadors. Name one. You and McGregor. Okay. Oh, thank you. You got poned as hell. Yeah. I just, I don't think he's that hot.

Okay. Okay. Fern's funny. Yep. Fern's fun. Dave Callan. No, he's Irish. Oh, no.

Look who's the villain of the podcast now. I get those too confused. Yeah, well, that doesn't help. Who else we got? Shrek. Scottish people. Shrek. Shrek 2.

Sean Connery. Sean Conry. You know, the list goes on. Gerard Butler. Oh, okay. Oh, now you're on board. He was just he was in Melbourne recently. So I had a connection, you know.

You had a connection because he was in the same city. You can't connect. You can't connect it. If they're not in my vicinity, I don't get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they turned a street in Abbotsford into New York City. Whoa, how'd they do that? Add a bit of Grime.

Yeah, A sign and some trash bags. That was pretty much it. Hell yeah. Wow. I'm walking here to a cafe. To have a lovely scrambled eggs. What about? I'm walking here for to get a chilly scram.

I'm walking to get the best bar and me in this town. on Victoria Street. What about David Tennant? David Tennant, yep, good one. What about, what's her name again? Oh, Tilda Swinton. Tilda Swinton. She's Scottish.

Well, in terms of this, Google. What about this guy? What's that guy's name again? Grievous. Oh, X-Men. He's from X-Men. James McAvoy. There's so many hot Scottish people.

Hotscots.com. I mean. We're here to talk about our new business, Hotscots.com. We're for a small monthly fee. You can talk to Hotskotts. I what you're pushing on about you, I'm waiting, waiting for you. You daddy wee bastard.

All right. You look really pleased with yourself, Ben. I don't know if I am. I don't know if I am yet. He's got you right where he wants you. I don't know if I am. If anyone ever read back the message exchanges with Matt Stewart, they would hear some of the most fucking crazy stuff.

Don't ever try and get into the United States today. They're going to turn you back. You're going to disappear into an El Salvadorian prison. It's also such a power move because it's like six unanswered messages. So you just look like you're escalating every time being like, this man won't pay attention to you. He just leaves us all on red. After you have you,

you said before you start the day with a loss because your team loses. Do you then go through all the messages, see you can reply and sing. You know that Drake song that's like stuttered from the bottom now here? To yourself why you're tucked in? Yeah, that is exactly how I start the day, which feels really good. Yeah.

I do. I used to occasionally respond out of the blue to someone like I noticed that I was about to mess around and I'd just say, are you okay? It's a hard game apparently. It's a hard game apparently. Oh my God. That was, I mean.

Bleu my mind. That was wild stuff. It's a hard job. Yeah, I wouldn't know. People will say the worst things possible. And that was a King's Council. Yeah. It's crazy.

That was bizarre. I've been in a hospital and they've not once. Call me a slur. But so strange. Out of context, it's not going to make any sense, but an NFL player happens to play for the Saints. Used, well, he says he said maggot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The other player says he said a more specific slur. And, like, yeah. But it went to court. I went to the tribunal. He got nine weeks. Then it got, what do you call it, when you asked him to check again? Appealed.

Appealed. and then it went to this high court that's separate from the AFL and it's led by like a high up lawyer guy, Kings Council, and he said, well look, I think he probably said it, but we're reducing the sanction to four weeks because it's a tough game. And people will say sexist and homophobic and racist things on the field. So that guy got fired a couple days later.

Oh, good. Did he get away? Yeah, he did. very strange. Yeah, if you're stressed, a slur's fine. Yeah. That's basically what he's saying. And he's written this out.

You know, it's such a, like it seems like a slip-up, but he's written in an illegal document and sent it off as the official. Imagine what the first draft said. It said the slur again. Yeah, the lawyer is a tough job. We all say. I thought for a little bit that Amy's tapping was really rhythmic. And I realized no, Ben's just made a song.

Stolen valor, taking your rhythm. Just don't steal my rhythm. People look at me and they say she's a girl that's got to have rhythm. Couldn't be mad, he knows computers. What's my thing? It's best we don't. You have a beard. Yeah.

Oh, no. Barney, your thing is that you're here. Yes, true, true. Yeah. You're really present. Yeah, I'm really present. You're one of the most present people have ever seen.

That's so true. Say the first thing that's coming to your new head right now now that you're present. Get me some hot chocolates quickly. Okay. Exactly. See? See?

Ben and I wouldn't have been able to do that. I could never do what you did. Yeah. Thank you. Hollywood stars are so lucky to have you as a teacher. It's just a sample of the kind of stuff I throw out. Because they would need that in a script. To be able to come down to do that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every scene I'm like, when are they going to have a hot chocolate? Yeah. But that's because I'm not in it. But if I'm in it, I will make sure that's happening. All right. I winked at the camera. Oh, I should also say for the listeners,

after Amy wrote Hawlsbroth that last time, she said, can I say that wink if not? I'm just a little something for me, which I liked. It's the game within the game, you know. Oh, wait, and you wrote another answer. What? Oh, no, yes. I think that's my answer for this round.

Please don't. Oh, man. Please don't read them out. This is a really hard show to host, I tell you. Because like Barney, I've only got one idea, so if you blow that one. All my answers were just like, chocolate rainbow. Is that yours? Uh, it's, it's an office, it's an office, a loom.

Schneider vase. Nice. Uh, it's a, it's a beer by G. Schneider and Sean. It's quite a, say sun, like, just with an H in it. So on. So on. It's, um, quite a big vessel. It is, yeah, bulbous.

I see that you took care of yourself having some water today. Well, uh, to be honest. He got us coffee. I got you all coffees, but I also this is. Yeah, but they're a dehydrating agent. I've recorded two episodes back to back and this, this is a left-off from that. I didn't go and fill it up. Who was in this morning?

Kersie Webeck and Jess Perkins. Wow. Just two. Just the two, yeah. Mish Whitrop was in and out because I got a real, real job. Happens to the best of them. You know, yeah. All three of us are here.

Just keep that in mind. But Arnie's dots are absolutely dancing. It's not supposed to be... Get ready for my manifesto. It's just a name of a store, dude. If he reads out one that's like, chocolate drinks. Plano is writing their specials on Tuesdays. Chocolate bubble drink time.

Tapioca chocolate balls. Pedophiles are ass. You genuinely have to write. You have to write one word. Like two if you want. Well, now I'm going to have to write more. Oh, God. Barney, you've got a hard out.

I know, I know. It's going to be terrible. Just say something. No one's going to pick it. Take the hell, dude. No one's going to pick it, Barry. You are wasting your time. Just write whore's breath and be done.

Oh, please can bite chocolatey horse breath, okay? Work to your strengths. Wink, if not okay. Come on, dude. We get it. You're nominated for an award, okay? Move on. Perfect is the enemy of good, dude.

You're telling me. I guess we can just play the last rounds without our party. Yeah, I guess so. I mean, it's going to have to be last round. after this because he's taking so long. Great, so now you're taking away from us. No, no. You're taking...

How could you still have things to ride? How could you stop? What the fuck are you doing? Are you trying to do? It's coming. It's coming. Oh, help. Bubble time.

Yeah, big cummy waters. Uh, uh, tea for you. I, um, I think everyone's going to be here. When they hear which one was Barneys, I think everyone's going to be like, okay, that was worth waiting for. I don't. I don't believe that's true.

It will be. Unless, like, it's going to be five people whose answers are two words and then a 14 paragraph name. Yeah. All right. It loses something in the translation. Yeah. Translation between Taiwanese. All right.

How did you go at the comedy festival on band? Me and Saran went so. We freaking loved it. Yeah. Thank you very much for coming. It was so fun. I thought, Ben Russell's a musical comedian, couldn't work?

And it did. I am, I'm a music, musical, music adjacent, I would say. Yeah. It was fun. I was dancing. Yeah, cool. You know, seated dancing. Yeah, I love that.

It was super fun because it was just like, you know, I don't care anymore, not like these youngans. I'm just in it for the pure fun of doing your own show. Yeah. Barney's in it for the awards. Yeah, because I feel like... Because I feel like a lot of comics do kind of forget that this is quite a fun time to just put a show together and develop a show.

Everyone's so sometimes caught up in the awful politics of the whole thing. They forget, oh no, you can actually have a lot of fun developing a show that you just want to do. And it's funny how people enjoy watching people doing something they're enjoying. Yeah, it's weird. It is weird. You want to watch people having fun. So, but Amy also did her. Oh, I love it.

It was great. So good. Thank you for coming. It was a wild tale, beautifully told. Yeah. And I had fun. Towards the end, I was like, oh, I get it. Uh-oh.

Yeah, it's fun. Sucked in. It is really fun. It's fun to run in a show. Yeah. It's fun to have an audience every night, you know. And to see where it started and like how much different and better the show was. Yeah.

after 11 shows, like what a gift. Yeah. Yeah. To do that in your hometown. Yeah. So I kind of had a very wholesome time. I overcommitted outside of that. I did too many shows.

I think one night I did like four shows in one night. But you're an American with a grind culture mindset. Well, that was my, I got cocky because I was like, oh, yeah, I'm just going to, people go to work. People work 12 hours. Yeah. Four shows in a day is not. That's in fuck all. Yeah.

But then you really. It's actually different. But when you go to New York, you call New York the comedy gym, don't you? That's where you go to work out. Yeah, yeah, that's true. All right, the final question comes from David Milofsky from London.

This is where triple points. It's truly still anyone's game. So just a very brief film synopsis for the 1969 film, The Valley of the Guamji. You've got to write a brief synopsis for the 1960. filmed the Valley of the Guanghi. Could you spell that? G-W-A-N-G-I.

And, yeah, talking like two or three sentences. And while you're writing those answers. I'm sorry. Barney is losing it. I'm sorry. It took me so long to write one word before that I'm worried about this. Yeah, two or three sentences. Yeah.

Fuck. Oh my goodness. Are you just typing pregnant over and over? Yeah. What was, so you were at, you went to Jack Quaid's wedding? I didn't. No, no, no. But a bunch of celebs were around the place.
