Hey, mate, it's titular Matt Stewart here, letting you know. With the release of the 200th episode, I've also put out a listener survey. Click to the show notes of episode 200. Yeah, if you're interested in giving some feedback on how you think the show is going and whatnot, click on that. I think it only takes a few minutes. Anyway, let's get on with the show. Welcome to Who New and Matt's Shoot at the show, where the guest's right, the wrong answers.

I'm the titular Matt Stewart, and our first guest has a new web series called Just a Riddle Bit. It's Claire Hooper. Oh, it's me! Yes. Do you think of it as a web series? No, I didn't realize that's what I was making. But I just collaborated with your friend of mine. Beck.

Beck betrayed us. I love her so much. Friend of the show. Her comedy editing is very good. So we were just like, what fun thing could we do together? And I like writing riddles. So I wrote some riddles. She filmed it.

She edited it. You're on the latest one. By the time of release, perhaps even on the latest one then, but I don't know. All I know is you were on one released on the 19th of July. I mean, with Geraldine Hickey and... I'm Zach Rewain. Yeah, pretty funny.

That's right. The only thing, the only qualm I'd have with the edit is... Oh no. Not enough, Matt Stewart. Beck has me solving it last and I'm pretty sure. Pretty sure that you're pretty creative editing to make it look like it took me that long. Actually, yes, I do think you're probably right. I think you did get it ahead of Zach and Jess.

Well, yeah, that's, if Beck was here, that's probably something I'd tell. No, that is a fair thing to point out that you have been misrepresented. You were excellent. Just have me solve it really quickly and, like, take out any tension and then let them slowly solve it after that. So the viewers are like, I'll already get it. I'll move on. And I think she's got it right, actually. Our second guest this week has been nominated for a Logie and is currently

on the campaign trail for our work on Ghosts Australia. It's Michelle Brazier. Hi, good morning. And people can vote from all around the world. Is that right? Yeah, you're running out of time. You have to vote right now. And I think you can only vote from Australia or from an Australian email address.

But I don't know what's stopping you having an Australian email address or perhaps a VPN. I'm just a girl. Anyone listening to Who knew it with Matt Stewart? Surely is in possession of a VPN. Yeah, I just would encourage you to make a new email. Say you live in Australia. I make a Gmail VPN. And when you've done that, do that 20 more times.

Make sure all of those emails go. Yes. And verify your vote. I don't care if I win from cheating. Yes. But just for in case any Logies, people are listening. That's not very encouraging. Yeah, Michelle's being ironic.

I don't even care. She doesn't believe in cheating. Oh, yeah, let's get this. That's more of a Claire thing. We actually had, I'll introduce our final guest now, and he and I can tell you, because we had an Alogi Award winner on last week, and we asked him any advice to pass on to you.

Anyway, our third and final guest this week is host of a bookcheat and do-go-on podcast. It's Dave Warnacky. Hello. Now, Dilruch-J singer was on last week, Dave. That's right. And we told him that Michelle is up for Alogi, and we asked for his advice. I don't know how helpful it'll be, but you want to pass it on?

Yeah, so what he said was, all you have to do is become possibly the first Sri Lankan person nominated in your category. Then you rally up the Sri Lankan community around you, obviously want you to win. Yeah. You get lots of votes from them. Yeah. And also he said you have to be on a popular show, but you've already done that bit. Yes. So that's good because he was on Utopia.

That's what he's nominated for. Yeah. So you already have step one. But now number two have to get the Sri Lankan community around you. Okay. Well, I'm calling on the Sri Lankan community. Please. To please rally.

behind me. And I think we had Dill's blessing in doing that. He would be encouraging the community as well. I think Dill would encourage that. Oh, Claire, before we start, obviously, yes, vote for Michelle in the Loges. But you're going to Edinburgh, is that right? Yeah, I've got to Edinburgh.

Can you believe it? It's an absolute folly. Absolute zero profile in the UK. So an act of madness. And it was a really exciting moment yesterday because my total sales ticked over from six to seven. That's awesome. This far out.

Now listen, if I go up 14% every single day until the point when I arrive, I reckon I'm going to sell out. So things are looking up. That's so good. Oh, that's awesome. And yeah, we definitely have listeners over there because they should go along. Well, I'm thrilled to say that I got listed in Chortles like top 10 picks from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival or something.

Like I haven't seen it. So I don't know exactly what it is. But it's like a list of 10 people going over from Melbourne Comedy Festival to Edinburgh. So that's like a nice little nod. Yeah, that's great. I'll definitely go up another 14% tomorrow. You 100% will. 100% you'll go up 14%.

Yes. So this is the way the show works. Ask a relatively obscure trivia question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answer as well as the real one. I have to guess which one is correct. And the first question comes from listener, Thomas Doppler, from Gratz in Austria.

Now, Thomas, I know you're the kind of person who'd have a VPN and is voting for Michelle as we speak. Anyway, Thomas's question is, you're going to have to thank the Austrian community as well. Thank you so much, the Austrian community, for really rallying. And also, I really want to say, I just,

I really love sound of music. Yep. Does that sit in Austria? That was it in Austria? It was filmed in Salzburg, Austria. Oh. Mm. I've been to Salzburg.

They were the hostel estate and played it twice a day every day. Oh, good. That rules. Slowly driving everyone at the same. No, that's sick. At the times of 2 a.m. Yeah, yeah. And 4 a.m.

Loudly. Thomas's question is, what does the word poron kousy say mean? Poiron kuse. Spelling, please. P-O-R-N-K-U-S-E-E-S-E-E-E-S-E. E. M.A. Po like possibility. He's written it right out.

Po like possibility. Ron like moron. Koo as in cool. Or so I guess it's Koo. And S.E. Like settle. Se. Po-ron Koo-s-se.

Peron Koussa. Oh and Ma. I forgot the last bit. And in MA. As in math. Ma. Well, they're right. Their answers.

I'll explain how the score. and we'll actually get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contest. And another point if you correctly guess the answer. And by the way, I'm also playing as the house. Up and 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 conscript a three points per round. And to give the guests a little bit of help, they get triple points in the final round

while the house does not. 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 of our Patreon. dot com slash do go on pod which is linked in the show notes um and i should say i've been getting a few messages if you have submitted a question or many questions and have haven't had one read out in a while dm me on patreon and i'll sort you out there's a lot of questions in there and it's easy to miss easy to miss and because it's not like i'm not just putting them in in an order because there's different categories and stuff so let me know if you're like i haven't had a question read out ever or

in a while. Damn me and I'll fix you right up. The answers are in for question number one. What does the word Poron Kasuma mean? Sorry about that. He fully wrote out how to pronounce it. Because it was... Yeah, I didn't...

And I listened and I still didn't get a ride. Anyway, whatever that word is, what does it mean? Poron Kasuma. The art of engraving and decorating turtle shells. The feeling of visiting one's home as a visitor after a long absence or period of change. Japanese word for someone missing a digit,

literally fingers nine. A German word for someone who likes to sleep in on a Sunday. A Finnish term for the distance a reindeer can walk without peeing. Or a Japanese term meaning literally so sad you could feed your feelings to a cat. All right, Dave. What do you reckon? So a couple of Japanese ones there.

A couple of Japanese are German, a Finnish. I feel like the Japanese ones maybe came from the way you first pronounced the word, and now it's become a different sort of style, different language maybe. Poron Kusai. What do you mind if we heard them before? Poron Kusuma. Poron Kusuma. Yeah.

All of the, I mean, Japanese have, they have, like, a certain set of syllables, and they're all in it. You know, like, those letters are all in it. P-O-R-O-N-Q-K-U-S-E-M-A. My correct answer should have been, no, I can't. But I'll try anyway. I think the E, for me, makes it feel less Japanese. Okay.

But it also could be that you're saying the sound wrong. Yeah, no, I definitely am saying it wrong. Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't really take that into too much consideration. Yeah, no, and I won't. I think I'm going to go, I'm going to go, Digits 9, please. Digits 9 felt good.

What was the one, the distance deer, what were the two distance ones? Yes. Finish term for a distance a reindeer can walk without peeing. Wow. And the feeling of visiting, no, that's not distance. Was there another distance? All right, give them a mole again. I don't think there was another distance.

Come on, just give them all again. Quick fire. The art of engraving and decorating turtle shells. I mean, yeah. Feeling of visiting one's home as a visitor after a long absence or period of change. Literally, fingers nine. German word for someone who likes to sleep on a Sunday. Finnish term for a distance around deer can walk without peeing.

Or a Japanese term saying you're really sad. So sad you could feed your feelings to a cat. Which is so poetic. Number nine is not in there. But you've locked it in so too late. But it could also still be. Yeah. Could be a portmanteau or something.

Do they have that in Japan? Well, they have a different word for it, but. Did you lock something in the show? I'm like it. Oh, sorry. I'm locked in. Yep, yep, yep. Sometimes it's just not, you haven't asked me yet.

Turtle. Turtle. Yeah, the turtle's really compelling, isn't it? And sometimes I just like to vote for the poetry, even if I don't. believe it, which means that we're in between, that beautiful feeling of like visiting somewhere as a stranger when you've been, which is, it's so evoked it is. If you go overseas, you come back in the gum leaves, you can smell it. Because there has to be a word for that.

There will be a word for that. It's beautiful. I also really like the idea of feeding your feelings to a cat, except the word cat isn't in it in Japanese. Okay. Sounds like everyone speaks Japanese here, but Dave. Hey. So I'd like to pick the feeling of returning to your home,

even though I deeply suspect it's not true, but I just want to praise whoever wrote that. It's beautiful. I remember that feeling like we'd go to Brighton, Country Victoria, every summer for three weeks, staying at this old house, and the lawn would be so high, and you'd walk in and just be like, I've remember this.

I don't know, really. And sometimes, if you were away for long enough, It felt like everything was facing a different direction. Like the objects were correct, but it was almost like, it was almost like North wasn't north anymore. Yeah, you make more, you're more familiar with the memory. Yeah, and your memories changed a little bit. Gosh, I wonder if I feel that when I returned from the Edinburgh French later this August.

Wow, you were going to the Edinburgh Fringe this year. Yeah, I am actually. Oh, wow, what venue are you going to? From the 20th to the 30th of August. The final week, the assembly. Roxy the snug. It's going to be so good at 6.10 p.m. I've been to the Assembly Roxy.

I walk in there. I go 6.10 p.m. I go, it must be Claire's show. I best get to the box office, I say. That's what I do every year. I go in there and I go, 6.10. Assembly Roxy, I must be. Do you know what I do?

I always, Assembly Roxy, that's always where Rob Orton's show is. Oh, really? I just listened to his. I just listened to a podcast with Robolt. Speaking of poetry. I love, he's the one I don't miss. Him and Claire. They're the ones I don't miss.

They're the ones I don't miss. every year. I won't be there this year, so you've got to go see Claire. All right, here's who wrote the answers. Japanese term meaning so sad you could feed your feelings to a cat. That was the house. Well done, house. German word for someone who likes to sleep in on a Sunday. That was Thomas, the question order, aka the house.

Beautiful. Now, Dave went for the Japanese word for someone missing a digit, but as we heard, the word nine's not in there. It is. Oh. It is, though, too. I will reveal that I also study Japanese at Niro's school. But I didn't want to influence everyone else.

I was feeling so smug about that. It is itchy knee, son, she, go, rocko, shichy, hachi, koo. Yeah. Which is in there. It's in there. Sorry, I thought it was in there. And Michelle, I thought, and I thought it was in there.

I thought it was in there. I was so confident. But I'm pretty fair, I don't listen when people spell things. And Matt didn't really say it properly. But also, aren't there two words for nine? There are actually two different ways of saying. I can't remember. I didn't know.

there were two ways of saying. Yeah, there are two knives. Claire wrote that one. And you didn't know that the... Well done, Claire. I knew that. They couldn't defend it too, too briskly or whatever because

that you would have given away. Is that your idea? He said, no, it's definitely in there. You know what I mean? When Michelle said there's no nine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's real... Briskly was a wrong word.

Apologies for that. It is. Well, played. Claire. I was feeling so good about it. I was like, yeah, that's so excited. Can't wait to reveal that I can count to count

to 10 and also ask where the toilet is. Claire went for the feeling of visiting one's home as a visitor. That was Michelle Brazier. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Respect to the poetry. Thank you so much. And in a beautiful bit of symmetry,

Michelle went for engraving a turtle shell. That was Dave Warnocky. That's beautiful. That's really beautiful. We love each other. What a beautiful collaboration this was. That was really nice. I'm going to brush up by my Japanese.

It's not the reindeer. It's not the reindeer. It's not the reindeer. It's never the reindeer. Finish term for the, it's, yeah, apparently they can't walk and piss. So they used to use it as a, it's about one and a half K's, I believe. Oh, like a hunting thing. No, sorry, seven and a half Ks.

Seven and a half K's. That's an old, it's an old measuring term. Yeah, I think we all knew it would be an old one. I think the metric is pretty decent comparatively of that. I'm pro metric. Yeah, I think so. All right, so everyone's on one point apart from the house going on to question two. This one comes from Kez, and Kez just wants you to come up with a fake species of bird.

Oh, sick. You don't have to describe it or anything, just the name of a common name of a bird. Common name of a bird. As in not the Latin name. Okay. And while you're writing your answers, here's some more info on Poron Kusuma. Thomas writes, it was used in reindeer breeding because reindeer can't run and piss at the same time. It's around seven and a half K's.

Wiki writes that today it's used to describe something that is a very obscure distance away. Can I ask, off the top of the head, do you know any animals that can run and piss at the same time? Yeah, I know that doesn't seem that unique, does it? I don't, I probably could, but I don't think it would be ideal. It would slow you down.

It wouldn't speed you up. But I mean, if they're saying, like, they literally just can't do it. Horses can, yeah. They probably could, I guess. Answering for question number two, which of these are real species of bird? Grey-breasted dilly dahlia. Blonde tit. Garden gnome glider.

All of these. Velvet pongo. Oh. The mud-crowned tit or thunder pumper. Oh, this is lovely. Okay. That's very good. All right.

I think we should not only pick the one we think is a real bird, but we also have to pick our spirit. bird out of the list. Yes. I obviously am tempted to be the blonde tit, but I need to share it with Michelle Brasian. Yeah. Yeah, I think I am the blonde tit. It's your go first, Michelle this time.

Is it? Mm-hmm. Well, because I am. Well, no, actually, I've got to go Thunder bumper because if it's not real, then I want it to be. Yeah. What about you, Claire? Yep. Okay.

As usual, I can't remember the moment. Let me go back a little. Gray-breasted dilly-dellia. Blondeet, garden-ome glider, Velvet Pongo, the mud-crowned tit or thunder pumper. Oh, what about Velvet Pongo? It's so beautiful. That's so good.

Well done, whoever wrote it. Again, I want to play this game seriously, but today I just feel inclined to be like, whichever is the poetry, that's where my point goes. But sometimes that can work. Yeah. Like, for the last round, the reindeer one was the most ridiculous one. Yeah.

It was the most outrageous. That's right. Okay. So what's left? There's the mud. What's the mud? Mud, crown tit.

That's pretty good. You got the blonde tit? Gardenome glider. Gray-breasted dilly delia. Yeah, what kind of tits you prefer? Hmm. Probably a garden gnome to be a garden gnome. Yeah.

I am thinking, honestly, I'm thinking about... A busty garden gnome. Garden gnome glider is... That feels like a British bird. Hmm. So I'm going to go with garden gnome glider. Garden nome glider. I really want a special mention to the dillardt

Dillia. I think that's really nice. It's very beautiful. It could be real. All right. This is who wrote, well, here's who wrote the answers.

The blonde tit, that was Michelle. Fry what you know. So you Google blonde tit to make sure it wasn't real. Yeah. It's funny to Google blonde tit. It is a bit of fun. A bit of fun.

So it's not a bird, but what is it? Well, there's lots to find. A lot of results. The mud crowned tit. That was Claire Hooper. No way. Yeah.

The grey breasted dilly dally was the house. That's really good. Now Dave went for the garden home glider. I'm afraid that was also the house. Oh, that's really good too. It's adorable. The Velvet Pongo. Claire went for that.

That was Dave Warnocky. Oh, that's gorgeous. It's beautiful. Is that a Poirot? It's a great episode. Season 6. You got to check out. The mystery of the Velvet Pongo.

And that means Michelle's right. It is the Thunder pumper. Whoa. If you Google blonde tit thunder pumper. Wow. We. You get a picture of me. Yeah.

Which I'm trying to get taken down. Yeah. But there is a link there to. Take it to the Logies 5-InCats. Thunder Pumper is the best. Wow. Oh man, you've got a look at it too. I love the look of this bird.

Yes, please. Everyone Google's underpumper. Oh. So chunky. Yeah, that's a thunder pumper if I ever saw one. You can't pump thunder without a bit of weight behind you. I've always said that. I've always said that.

On those little legs. Yeah. Yeah, I love it. All right, so after two rounds. Claire and the house are on one, but out in front on two points a piece. It's Dave and Michelle. Oh, no. That's so funny.

I won't stay out here. Don't worry about that. Question three comes from Kristen Kralik, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And the question is, OPI, or Opie, is a nail polish manufacturer known for giving their shades punny names based on location, food, or theme, etc.

In the summer of 2007, they released an Australia collection. What was one of the shades called? So, punny nail polish named name based on Australia. Has Kristen included all of the, because there will have been at least four, probably seven shades, so they're all there?

There's 12, but only one. Only one's a decent pun. Well, only one has been chosen. Do you want me to be more specific? No. No, okay.

No, no, I just mean, well, what, okay, yep. Yeah, I understand. Unless you accidentally land on. Yeah, what if I accidentally do? If you actually land on one of the, I think, you know, I have to probably give you a point.

for it. Okay, that's great. That's not going to have. But I only if you're accidentally landing on it. Because some of these are so bad. They, like you, I don't think your brain could get to it. Like some of the real ones. I am familiar with the, oh yeah, some of the real ones that are not included in the quiz.

You've got, I'll tell us at the end. Okay. Yeah, I'll tell you at the end. Or do you want? Yeah, anyway, I'll tell you at the end. Are you, so is it opi or OPI? OPI. Opio.

While you're coming up with that, I'll let the audience know a bit more about Thunderpumpers. According to Wiki, they're also known as the American Bittern, and it's a large chunky brown bird. They get their distinctive folk name of Thunderpumper from their distinctive call, and they have a few other great local names, but I'm not going to say them because I'm going to definitely use them for future episodes. The answer to question number three, which of the following is a real shade of nail polish OPI release in their summer 2007 Australia collection?

Chocidal Dundee Yeah The land brown under They sound like they're the same colour Don't Melbourne the toast Oh She'll be bright mate Blond-eye Beach

Or Ulur Rouge Okay Claire you'll go first yet Oh no Choccal Dundee The Land Brown Under Don't Melbourne the toast, she'll be bright, mate, blonde-eye beach or Uluruge.

Okay, well, they do do some shockers. Yes. I think these are all better than a lot of them. Yeah, for that reason, I want to go with, don't Melbourne the toast. Okay. You know what? I can't imagine them fitting all of that on the bottom of one of the bottles. However, I'm going with it.

And what colour do you think it is? So I guess it's like a burn. Yeah, actually, it is a terrible one. It is the wrong choice, isn't it? No, not necessarily. It's, yeah, it would just be, it would be your... I think these are all pretty brown. Like quite an ashy brown.

Yeah. No, they're not all brown. Oh, no, you got so. You're bright, mate. That's going to be yellow. Uluruze red. Blonde odd. Well, that's going to be yellow as well, I guess.

Dave, what do you reckon? Oh, no, I'm regretting my choice. That's fine. Well, the first two again. Chocadal Dundee and the land brown under. I'm going to go the land brown under. Yes, pretty good. Okay, locked it in.

I'm going to start calling the toilet that. Excuse me, it's going to spend a minute than the lamb brown under. Women blow and men chunder? Yeah. That is, yeah, so it's the toilet. Yeah. Actually, yeah.

I wouldn't have, I don't know how it got past the marketing team, but I reckon all the rouge. Okay. Locked in. Oh, no, I've definitely chosen wrong. Well, let's find out. I don't know if you have. Here's who wrote the answers.

But how would you put it on the bottom of a nail polish bottle? How would you? Small font. It's real small fun. Real small font. She'll be bright, mate. That was the house. It's very good.

Blondye Beach. That was Dave. It's good. It took five minutes to get that. That was really good. It gave me an opportunity. It's not a polished brand that I've come up. Yeah.

In my defence. I think it was really good. Hopefully OPI is listening. I reckon that could be the next collection. As will, Chocodal Dundee, by Michelle Brazier. Yeah, pretty good. So I meant to write Chocodal Bundy, like a Bundy and cola.

And then I was like, Ted Bundy. And then I was like, oh, I've done too much. And then I really sort of went around and around and around. Wow, you're landing in a really good spot. Yeah. Michelle went for Uluruge. That was Claire Hooper. That's really good.

Yeah. Uluru is really good. It's in terrible taste. It is very realistic. But you know what? At least it is the local name. I was working on some Eres Rock ones and I was like, come on. No, buck up, buck up, come on.

Good job, good job. Uluru is really good because it's red as well. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be a really good colour, a really nice, you know, like a lovely, like a warm, like a warm peachy red but with a bit of brown in it. I would wear that. I'll purchase that. I'll purchase that.

Yeah. What else we have? we had Dave went for the land brown under. I'm afraid that was Kristen the question writer. That's very good.

That's really funny. And that means Claire is correct. It is don't Melbourne the toast. Why. No. It's so bad. It's so bad. Awful. All right.

Okay, I'm Googling it. I have to see what brown it is. I was thinking that like they'd be like because they love saying Melbourne. Here's my thought process on this. They went Melbourne. Melbourne. You say it burn like Melbourne.

Like, Melbourne. say boring, you say burn and they're like burn the toast. Oh, why don't we say don't Melbourne, that's how they arrived there. Yeah. That's how it happened in the room. It's fine, because we don't say burn either, do we really? No. It's burn. It's been. Melbourne. Okay. I mean, I was about

right with the colour though. Oh yeah, that's nice colour. And they fit it on the bottom there? Yeah, you can, yeah. No, that's a really, have a look at that. They did fit it on the bottom. Wow, that's crazy. There you go. Don't Melvin. Oh, yeah, it's just fully ringed around. Yeah. Fully ringed around.

Fully ringed around. That's what I do in the Land Brown under. So now at the halfway mark, we've got, geez, it's tight. Dave, Michelle and the house on two, but Claire out in front on three points with a couple points out. Wow, how the tables can turn. Because that was a perfect round for you. Near perfect.

You gave one point of the house. Oh, okay. Yes, but still have at least one person pick yours. Question four. Two people sent this in. Laura Jones from Brisbane. Oh, no, three. One from the Bronx and Stephen Dunn from the Netherlands.

People from all around the world set this one through. Wait, sorry. I've just Googled the other, the rest of the Opieis. Can I read them out? Yes, please. Fair, dinkum, pinkum. Tasmanian devil made me do it. Oh, I remember that colour.

Brisbane bronze. Literally you had Tasmanian devil made me do. That one. Koala berry. Oh, yeah. Red hot airs rock. Oh, I improved on that, actually. This was 2007.

Fit for a Queensland? Kangaroo by What? Kangaroo by Like a drive bar? Kangaroo be kangaroo? Kangaroo. Oh, kangaroo.

It must be red. Oh, no. We're going to skip one. Okay. Can bearant without you. What does that mean? Like can't bear it without you again. Oh, okay, yep.

Susie loves Sydney. Did you redo your nails? And don't Melbourne the toast. Susie apparently is the woman who started the company. So her Sydney one is She's just like Well I've heard I know this place I love Sydney

That's what you call The Sydney colour What colour would that be? Oh it's a darker shade of wine Darker shade of wine Anyway 2007 was a time It was a different time

It was a different time Question four comes from Laura Jones From Brisbane Juan from the Bronx And Stephen Dunn from the Netherlands And the question Together They all sent it in separately

That's how fun the answer is I've just picked I took one and the other one I merged two of theirs together. Interesting. Go ahead. You took Juan. I took Juan's. Yes.

And then you merged the other two together. So the question is, what is the name of the 39th state treasurer of Alabama? Basically, that guy's got an interesting name. Okay. So you just got to come up with a fun name for a person. All right.

And I gave away that it's a guy. I apologize for that. It's really limited your options. Has it? while you're writing your answers, here's a little more info about OPI. Kristen Wright's OPR stands for Odontorium Products Incorporated and originally started out as a dental supply company in 1981.

Co-founder and current brand ambassador, Susie Weiss Weiss Fishman, is a second-generation Holocaust survivor that grew up in communist Hungary before moving to the United States as a teenager. Known today in the beauty industry is the first lady of nails. Susie created and named some of the most iconic nail polished shades of our time.

Kristen says, I do encourage you to take a look at some of the other polished names. They range from, I'll admit that's clever to, hmm, okay, I guess that works too. Guess we're just cashing in on stereotypes today. Excuse me throwing shade on Susie, though. Having the job of exclusively coming up with product names based on puns is my dream. and there's only like two of these positions in all of existence. Probably I haven't checked. Kristen, that's a great question.

Certainly feel free to submit more OPI-based, polish pun-name questions in future. Hey, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. And we're back, and here is question number four. What is the name of the 39th State Treasurer of Alabama? Here are your six options. Oh, my God. Camp Cachadooper Pluto Jones

A lauda buster plop Young boozer Bam Bam Samson Or Batman Shinoble Oh no Oh no I forgot what mine was So they're a state treasurer of Alabama

Bamma, yeah. And we are back to you, Dave. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. All right, because they're so great, let's give them all another moment to shine. Camp Casia Dooper, Pluto Jones,

a Lord of Blusterplop, young boozer, Bam Bam Samson or Batman Chernobyl. Oh, my God. So beautiful. They're all fantastic. Well done, everyone. And they're all awful names for a human being.

Bam, Bam, Bam, Samson, Pluto, Jones. I'm trying to think of... Those two are my picks. Three people have sent it in, so it's got to be pretty out there. Yeah. Yes, that's right. So Pluto Jones is so tempting, but it's almost like, well, it sounds like a name. It's a great name.

And he's not a missed opportunity. Yeah, yeah. I do even notice Pluto Jones, but it's real good. I think Pluto Jones and any other company is standing out, but in this group names. Yeah, right. Okay, yeah. Is it notable enough for three people to send it in? I mean, Batman Chernobyl would be.

Batman Chernobyl's my favourite. But it's so out there. I think the bloop the plop one. What's the second one? A lot of bust a plop. It's really good. Young boozer is funny too. But that does sound more like,

does sound more like someone who collaborated with young MC and like French Prince. Give me Bam Bam Bam, bam, please. Bam Bam, Bam Samson. Do you know what? Batman Chernobyl. Lock it in. deserves a win.

That's getting my vote. Please read me the first one one more time. Camp cash adduper. Oh, that's too silly, isn't it? Nominative determinism. Got cash in the name, becomes a treasurer. Oh. Well, that's too obvious, isn't it?

And yet, okay, so I'm actually... I mean, if you didn't notice it, is it too obvious? You know what I mean? No, fair. Oh! Pluto Jones. All right, go, give me, give me Camp Caschadupa.

Camp Casher Dupa. It's adorable. Kim Kashi Dupa. I'm Kemp Kachadupa, but I guess they vote for me. Okay. Yeah. Kachadupa. Here's are the answers.

Pluto Jones, that was the house in particular. Oh, okay. All right. Neely. Well, we were both very nearly. It's tempting. Pluto Jones is a great name. It is a great name.

That was Laura from Brisbane wrote that one. Great, great. A Lord of Buster Plop, that was Don't Warnock. It's so good. It's so funny. I laughed every time. It sounds like a Willy Wonka character. Or a, yeah.

Augustus Gloop. Yes. And a Lord of Buster Plop. Or like a bizarre bond. What are they called? Bond women? Oh, yes. Like a Bond girl.

A bond girl. Yeah, they don't say. That was very feminist of you. What's that thing that they're? They call Bond women, bond girls. Oh, it was, it was fun because Dave's a big Bond fan and he was not answering. He was not helping me out. Dave's a big Bond girl.

Oh, yeah, big bond girl. All right. Now, Dave went for Bam Bam Samson. That was Claire Hooper. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I really love it. All right.

It does sound U.S. doesn't it? It does sound like Bam Bam Bam from Alabama. Oh my God, yeah. Felt the most southern of the names, I thought. Yeah, thank you so much. Yeah, it's really good. Camp, Kash,

That was Michelle Brazier. Well done. She got me again and I love her more for it. Thank you so much. I put cash in it on purpose. Yeah. I didn't even notice. I didn't think about it either.

It's a great name. It's so good. Cash a duper. Michelle went for Batman Chernobyl. That was an amalgam of Stephen and Juan's answers. Batman. It's so funny. Imagine.

Imagine, though. But holy cow, it's young boozer. Is it? It is the real one is Young Boozer. Actually, Young Boozer the third. No. Oh my gosh. The rules.

Birth name as well, not like a nickname or anything. His birth name is young. So there's Young Boozer senior. Yeah. Old Young Boozer. Wow. The South is a special place. That's great.

Michelle, Claire and the house get a point there. This rules. What? That you're doing quite well. There's a guy called Young Boozer. It's so good. Yeah, and he had a real position of power. Like, you're going to tell us the ear, I guess.

He's the current. He's the current. If you see him as well, he does, he does not, his name does not fit. Oh, my God. That's like a nice grandfather. Yeah, he just looks like. Wow. Yeah.

He's like, yeah, I don't know. That's Edward Schwartz. He has to be a lovely old man with gloves. Lovely man. He's not that old. Is he? He's not that old, but he's not. He's not a young.

He's not a young boozer. He's, uh, oh. He's a few bulls hard enough. You look like that when you're a young bozer. I see mid-60s is my guess. No, well,

you're being friendly there. Oh, maybe that might be an older photo, but he was born in 1948. So he's, so he's about 50. He's like, yeah, late 40s,

early 50s, yeah. All right, penultimate question comes from Jake Seymour from Denver, Colorado. And Jake's question is, why did CNN's New Year's Eve, 2023 coverage make news. Something happened on CNN's New Year's Eve coverage, 2022 going into 2023.

Why did that make the news? And while you're writing your answers, here's some more info about young boozer. Stephen writes, his full name is young Jacob Boozer, Jr., which means his amazing name is not even a one-off. His father was also named Young Boozer and was a college football and baseball star for the University of Alabama. Laura writes, this guy prompted me to find out the opposite of nominative determinism, which is an inaptonym. He looks like an elderly Franklin the Turtle.

That's a good script, isn't it? And Juan says, in April 2010, the tonight show with Jay Leno mentioned Boozer in a segment. Boozer, who was at the time seeking to be elected for state treasurer of Alabama, reacted by admitting that his name does get attention, but expressed a desire for people to focus on his qualifications for the role. He later described the shout-out as the best thing that ever happened to him and mentioned that local university students were grabbing his roadside campaign signs and putting them up in dorm rooms and frat house bars. The answers are in. Question number five.

Why did CNN's New Year's Eve, 2023 coverage make news? Host Anderson Cooper reched and shook violently after taking a shot of vodka live on air. Shook violently. It's such a good description. Oh! The countdown clock shut down one minute before midnight And the fireworks did not go off As they were automatically timed

When they were manually activated A news presenter panicked and ran Option three The hosting team was swarmed by a mob of teens Dressed in suits demanding the movie minions The Rise of Groovy played Option four Nick Lashay dressed as a fireman

and stripped down to his shorts before 9pm while the broadcast was still meant to be on a G rating. Nick Lechay. Wow, there you go. Newly wear Nick Leschet. The party completely missed the countdown. Instead, midnight struck while viewers watched host Don Lemon dancing to juvenile's back that answer. Back that answer. This is all excellent.

Or finally, the countdown clock malfunctioned and with 10 seconds to go, it started counting down from a thousand. The crowd got into it and counted down all thousand seconds. All right, Michelle, what do you reckon? I don't know. I love all of these. You got Anderson Cooper, retching. And violent. So that's really got me violently. You've got the countdown clock failing and when it was manually activated,

news presenter panicked and ran. You've got... Wait, I'd like to vote for minions, please. The minions are like that. Which minions are? movie was it? Minions, The Rise of Gru.

Okay. Can't sound familiar, but I was trying to work out. Did that come out in 2020? Then we had Nicholas Shea's strip teas. We had Don Lemon missing the countdown and dancing the juveniles back that ass up. Or counting down all thousand seconds. What do you reckon?

Oh, is it my turn? I think Michelle just locked in Rise of Gru. Yeah. Did you? So it's teenagers in suits saying, demanding that minions is place. Yes. That's awesome. I reckon that's real.

Funny. I'd want to live in the world where all of them happen. What a cover of it. But I'm going to pick for the just excellent simplicity of it, 1,000 seconds and everyone counted along. I love it when people get involved in something like that. Yeah, I feel like that's the moment I want at the, you know, to herald in the new year, that sort of community spirit.

How long is a thousand seconds? It's really long. It's a long time, isn't it? Yeah, no, it's a really long time. There's no way it would happen. I lock it in. Okay. Dave.

Log it in. Finally. I am tempted by the missing and Don Lemon back that ass. Yeah, it's really good, isn't it? But surely there'd be a producer in the year going, guys, it's 10 seconds. Stop dancing. To back that ass up. But it's pretty specific.

It's 17 minutes. It's 17 minutes of founding down. 999. No, no, no, no, because you know, it would start small and the good bit. Okay, um, I, for the sake of luck, what was the first one again? First one was Anderson Cooper reching and shaking violently. I mean, I love that. That's good writing, if it is made up.

But did it make, would it make, would it make the news? Would it make the news? Like, like, because if you vomited violently, but just shaking violently, I'm going to say, yeah, give me back that ass up. Okay. Well done, everyone. That was crazy. We're all having fun of you. So Anderson Cooper

shaking violently. That was by Jake the question writer. Really good job. Really good. Michelle's one was the news presenter panicking and running. Yeah, really funny. It's so funny.

So funny. Running from it at Brulon broadcast. I'd like to think into the distance. I still in shop. Yeah, straight. They ran straight. I don't know why that really tickled me a lot. Those fireworks are going off above there.

Nick Lechay. I forgot about Nick. Fireman Nicklishet. Nicklishet down to his Nicklishay. That was Claire Hooper. I just want you to know that I just recycled an answer from last time I was on. Oh, my God. Because I'm like, did you miss hear it as 2003?

Not 2023. No, I was just referencing an earlier answer. That's right. That's really good. Because my thinking, juice was out. Now, if you could try, every time you come on the show, you could try and get that in somehow. That would be really pleasant.

Anytime you hear Nick Leshay. Josh has a question he tries to get in each time, which is, the answer is Toots Magoutes. I mean, every episode, there's a possibility to get that in. Yes. And if it's guests that haven't been on with him before, they'll guess it sometimes because they don't know he's just doing a long-running bit.

Michelle went for the rise of guru. I'm afraid that's the house. That's a real. That's so funny. That's a point well-spin. Really funny. And something that weird teens would do, right? I could see me doing that.

I could see me doing that for sure. Put minions rise of grue on. I am one suit away. And like you put me in the position. I'm taking that opportunity. Okay, if you win the Logie. You're not so demanding. You simply must.

First you thank your Sri Lankan following and then you demand that they put on the rise of group. Yeah. It's really funny. Guys, we've got a big screen here. I think it's time. Put on rise of group. In full.

I'm not leaving until. Support the arts. Put on rise of groove. Let's count down from a thousand. Speaking of. That was Dave Warnocky. That's really funny. It's really funny.

But the thing is you didn't, but it had to be, I still had to do it. I was like, there's no way. It's community. There's no way people would last at 4,000. But it would be pretty fun though. It would be so funny. Imagine how epic would be when you get into the final 50 years. Everyone would just get so psyched.

It would be like one of those bits that people get excited about and then there'd be lulls and it come back. 49! 49! We're doing it. Yeah, it's happening. God, I'd love it. Do you know what? Let's do it at the end of this podcast.

17 minutes. Did you guys see that conk who was going to Edinburgh? Yes. He was last night, he was live on Instagram, doing the macarena once for every dollar raised for his Edinburgh fund. For every dollar? And I was like coming and checking

and he was just constantly doing the macaray. Which is for hours and hours doing the margarina, which is great because the show is, man sings the same thing. song over and over again for an hour. It was so good. Very funny. Luckily we don't clash,

so it is still possible for you to see me. On the same night. It's so good. What a day out that would be? It's so good. What a day out? Oh, I directed a show that's in Edinburgh. Go and see that as well.

Don't tell us what it is or anything. Well, it's Zachary Wayne's show. It's called comedy. Oh, great. Go and see it's at Pleasance. It's funny. Claire, would you consider doing the macarana for every ticket sold off the back of this podcast?

Oh my gosh, would you? What about the nutbush? I would hate to, um... Hey, have you... I'd hate to tread on conch's toes by copying. So I, let's just say that I will count backwards from a thousand. Of the back of these podcasts, a bit simply you're going to have to go on the...

Like, when you post on Insta about this pod, you will have to notify me that you bought a ticket because of it. Yeah. Like send proof of the ticket purchase and you'll do the count. I'm sorry, I'm not taking this lightly. This is 17 minutes of my life. Yeah, this is serious. Whoa, that's way longer than one macarena.

Will you be satisfied for me to film it in time lapse? Because nobody wants, like, they have to be accountable, but nobody needs to see that. Yeah, I think time lapse is appropriate for the people. Wait, I think if, I think that's really good. Okay. Yeah. And that means Dave is correct. He got it.

It was a woman missing the countdown. Oh, yeah. Come, because I was, you were right. He apparently was saying over and over. I can't hear anything in my ears leading up to it. He's like, I can't hear anything and no one, it just didn't get fixed. That's great. They just let him back it up.

So going to the final round, things are tight. Michelle's on three, Dave, Claire, and the house are all on four. So truly anyone's going, but the three of you can get triple points in this round. So really, it's like we're starting again. I know. We always get to this point. And there's this actual, it's quite, it's quite, disheartening to realize that we could just not play the first hour of the game.

That must be what Quidditch feels like. I mean, I don't think that's true. What's the fucking point? Well, why don't we just do everyone get single points this round then? Nah. Yeah, if you want. I don't have any competitive. It does give you an advantage over the house, that's all,

because the house only gets single points in the final round. Does it? And it nearly all, like, yeah. Well, it's not so much about their triple points. It's just that, I don't know. It's more about community. I would say a lot of this podcast is a, about just having fun.

Yeah. Isn't that nine? I'm going to win. Let's all count back. You know what? It's not the fact that I realize we could have just not played the hour, is it? It's just that after an hour of being, like having so much fun, you just have a little lull, don't you? You do go.

Okay, last one. All right. Final question comes from Colin Campbell from Tucson, Arizona. Mm-hmm. Yes. We used to finish every week with a movie synopsis question, but I've been mixing it up a bit. And this week we're finishing with a story trope question. There's a Japanese manga trope called the Chicoku-sur-su-Shokapan.

And now that I know you all speak Japanese, I'm not going to spell it or anything. I didn't really recognize much of that. All numbers. So you just have to get, you know, it'll be two or three sentences. What's a story trope in Japanese manga that has been occurring since the 60s apparently? Across different series. Yeah, yeah. All right.

Just keeps coming back. Right. Can you please give me the name again, even though I know you're not going to spell it? Chikoku Suru Shokopan. I'm at a disadvantage here, I reckon. So as an example. Yeah, example, that'd be great, yeah. Example is of maybe a Western trope, the chosen one,

where an ordinary, every man becomes the unlikely hero. When they discovered they are the only person who can save the world, like Neo and the Matrix or Luke Skywalker. Yeah, okay. That's a trope, Harry Potter. So a trope, it could be. be, you know, that broad or could be more specific, whatever you like. So it's a Japanese manga trope.

Mm. And while you're writing your answers, here's the article from the Huffington Post about Don Lemon. I don't know Don Lemon, but I love his name. Yeah, it was one of those names I'm like, I know he's an American TV guy, but that's it. Don Lemon, it doesn't sound real. But then you realize that they've got politicians.

called Young Boozer and you go, okay, Don Lemon's a pretty, pretty standard name, I guess. Ed Mazur writes for the Huffington Post, CNN's much discussed on-air booze ban didn't prevent at least one major flub on New Year's Eve as the network missed the countdown in the central time zone. The network showed Don Lemon and Revelers in New Orleans dancing to juveniles, back that as up as midnight approached and 2022 ended without a count. countdown or a mention. Lemon may have noticed seconds too late as he threw beads into the dancing crowd. He could be heard saying something about a countdown just after midnight. The song continued a bit longer leading to an awkward split screen image of fireworks and hugs in Nashville

also in the central time zone, while 2023 slipped in unnoticed in New Orleans. Jack, the question writer, writes, Don Lemon could also be heard yelling, I can't hear anything for many minutes before and after the mishap. The broadcast with absolutely no context then cut away to a live performance of Kenny Loggins performing highway to the danger zone. Finally, the feed crossfaded to show the entire production room staff eerily waving in the darkness. Just sounds like a bizarre moment of TV.

All right. The answer is for the final question. Here it is. In Japanese manga, what is the Chikoku-suru Shurukapan? trope. A young loser needs to take on their accomplished and popular bully. With no one in their corner for advice, they turn to a goofy mentor, usually a horny old man who helps save the day after revealing they are actually super jacked. Option two. The male hero is seduced by a beautiful woman who during sex reveals herself to be a demon. The hero violently kills the demon while

she is still in her human form and while they are both still naked. Option three, an action sequence in a bakery featuring the hero beating the villain with time to stop and enjoy a sweet bread. Option four, a girl is running late for school one morning, leaving home with a slice of toast in her mouth. In her rush, she collides with a boy who turns out to be a new student at her school. Due to the collision, she initially dislikes him. However, after various twists and turns, the two felt fall in love. Or finally, a bucket of crab meat is unexplainably dropped from the heavens with comedic results. Far out.

They're all plausible. Do you all go first, clear? Well, look, I always make you repeat them. I'm not going to this time. I'm going to select the first, where the goofy mentor turns out. out to be jacked. And it's, but honestly, I just feel like all of them are beautiful examples of wild. You can see all of them. You can see all of them. Why you'd use them again and again. Yes, colliding with a piece of toast in your mouth. I'm like, it's so specific, but actually, yeah,

I'm, so I really liked all of them. I don't even completely remember the first except that it ended on the word jacked. I'd choose it. Okay. Locked in. Dave. Can I get a, like, Maybe a three-word summary of each. Yep. See, the first one, the young losers, saved by a surprisingly jacked old horny man. Yeah, that does appear to be wrong. It does sound, doesn't it?

The male hero seduced by a woman who turns out to be a demon, he kills her while she's still in human form. Got an action sequence in a bakery where the hero beats a villain with time to stop and enjoy a sweet bread. Got the girl running late for school with toast in her mouth. She ends up bumping into a boy, and they fall in love. Or a bucket of crab meat is unexplainably dropped from the heavens with comedic results.

So stupid, it might just be right. I like the first one. I also can see them going back to the well of the pausing for a sweet treat. And then people referencing that in future media. Oh, pop this in my mouth. Go back to the fighting. So I think I'm going to go with that one, please. Sweet treat.

All right, locked in. Michelle. Yeah. Toast mouth. You're going to choose toast mouth? Toast mouth. Cute. And are we thinking in the trope, it is always toast in the mouth?

It's not just the banging into each other and then finding out that, oh, you go to my school, it is the toast. Which, if it is, I love that. I think, yeah, I think there's something bread based about love makes sense to me. Yeah. Makes sense to me. Sorry, my chair is moving me around the space. And your writing is moving us. Thanks.

No worries. To the Logies voting page. Dot com. All right, here's the answer. A bucket of crab meat is unexplainedly dropped from the heavens with comedic results. That was Dave. Yeah. You can see that happening again and again.

People would be like, oh my God, it's whatever the word is. Wild. Great stuff. Thank you. It was Dave's second one. He initially wrote a main character. parents are found to have been separated birth and are therefore siblings which results in the character having a superpower. Yeah, that was good too. I thought the crap. Yeah, no, I think of,

because I was honestly thinking of a parent, I was like, I feel like there's got to be a parent's angle. So I would have, you would have got me. Really? Hmm. The male heroes being seduced by a woman who turns out to be a deem, and that was Claire Hooper. Yeah, and I feel like realistic. Yeah, I know, it was almost too realistic. Yeah. Yeah. I like the detail of whilst still in here. Human form. That nearly got me. Yeah, me too.

So you got a battle before they'd go back to Miga Demon. Yeah, so it just looks like a porn battle. Yeah. You know? Now, Claire went for the guy, the horny old man who turns out to be Super Jack. That was Colin, the question writer. Okay, the house. Well played.

Well played. That's good too. Dave went for the bakery action sequence. That was Michelle Brazier. Oh, really good. I could see it. And Michelle went for toast in the mouth, which is correct. I think Shokupan is.

bread. Oh, right. Yeah, when you wrote the bread thing, I'm like, I reckon Michelle must know something here. Of course. I could be completely wrong, but I think it's bread. Pan is bread. Yeah, apparently toast or bread and it's happened, first happened, I reckon in the early 60s. Unbelievable.

Do you know why pan's bread? It's from the French. Pan. Pan and circuses. What is it? Pan and, what is it? It might be some of, what? Do you know that saying?

Bread and circuses? What is it? pen and something. Anyway, this is fun. This is good fun. Etymology and. Michelle's got her own round going here. But let's be fair, the people listening to this pod, don't mind people going, I think

it's because that's part of the chat, isn't it? Yeah, I don't think so for sure. Wow. It's the, it's the toast in the mouth. What's the word again or the phrasing for the? The phrasing is Chikoku Suu Shokopan. Wow. Draw me to, I can add.

No, well, all right. But the, I'll just, I'll put it in a, oh, Google translate and see if they understand it. Running late with a piece of toast in one's mouth. And that's been done multiple times. That's what I literally can't say it's right. I guess it probably means like, shoveling breakfast in and just coming out that, like. And it's just a shorthand thing.

Yeah. Maybe they don't even, you could just seem running out with toast their mouths. you know, oh, they're running late. Yeah. But, yeah, Colin Wright's focusing solely on the running with bread and the mouth aspect. A survey by the Toast Research Institute found that 4.2% of respondents had actually done it and 6.4% had witnessed it, suggesting around 10% of Japanese people have experienced this scene in reality. Research by the internet survey company Dim's Drive found that 10.1% of people

had left home with bread and their mouth when running late and 11.4% said they would like to try it. They know what though? They've got the funding for this because endometriosis has too much funding. Like, why? Ask people about their cancer. They're family. Just absolutely insane.

Before I give the final scores, Claire, one more time. Edinburgh, what's happening? I will be arriving in the third week of the festival. So I'm opening on August the 20th. I'm bringing my charming little show. It's called Fun Show Kiss Kiss, Kiss. And it'll be running for 11. nights at Assembly Roxy.

Everybody loved it. At a convenient time, 6.10pm. Oh, that's a great time. It's a perfect time. Everyone told me you gotta see this show. And I haven't seen it yet. Because I was out of town. Yeah, I know.

I'm so sorry. But everyone said, but I will sit and everyone said that I would love it. Everyone said it's your best show. I just want to give a quick plug that if you can't see me, because you normally see me, go see that. Oh my God, Brace, thank you. And I only like things that are good and similar to what I would make. because I like only me.

So go see it, you idiot. Speaking of you. And then, oh, you know what? I'm going to tell you what the actual website. Like, where do we look for? I'm just, my tab, my tab moved away. It's the way the new duck, tuck, do is working. Okay, so it is vote.

Dot TVweeklogies.com. Yes. A swift pivot away from the compliments I was giving to Claire, but do get tickets to the show and gobble them up.

I was wondering if they just say it out loud to themselves is it writing. Yeah. Carrestes. I really wish. I've done some questions in the past that are about weird horny books. Really? Really? I really wish I had on this episode.

Yeah, I got the weird horny book horn. I got the horn for the weird horny books. You know. Well, yeah, you'd be able to write something really good. Do we do last one you're on? Why don't you bring that up? I don't know. You saw yourself.

No, I said Faye. I said the word Faye. Okay. I said, you got full Faye and then I was like, Faye. Oh, yes. Which is what they call fairies. What? It's so close to the, just.

They all use the same language to different authors. They've made a decision to use the same words. Like they all, they never say, oh my God, they always say, oh, the cauldron. Like, it's so weird. Cauldron, bless me. It's really embarrassing. It is embarrassing. But it's horny.

It is horny. It is horny. And I like that. All right. Shall we begin? Yep. I think he would be that. I'm just trying to vote for you now. Do I have to vote for best sports coverage before I can get to your category?

No, you can click next. You can just next, next, next, next if you want. Oh, my. Okay, you don't have to do the whole thing. I'm just nexting all the way through. Thank you. Please want for all the... I'm probably missing some people I should.

You probably are. I have noticed some... Denise Scott just skipped over. I will get to that. No, go back. That was me. She's against me. you have to choose.

You have to choose. It's literally, listen to this category. Asher Ketti, Celia Pecola, Denise Scott, Kate Box, Madeline Sarmie, Michelle Brazier. Oh, my God. It's okay if you can't vote. Connor, if you can bleep out all of those names apart from Michelle, because they don't matter. Do you know what? There's only one name you're voting for, please.

I'll say they've all had their bloody day, actually. I'm fresh to the Logie campaign. I did see Claire, click my name and then she didn't finish the vote. I didn't finish, but that's because we have to do a thing. She's going to have to go back and do the other ones. I'm not going to pick the sports coverage. I don't know. You should. You will have people in there and you only can vote once with that in that.

So I'm just going to say if you care about none of the other categories, it is that fast. Have you won't have you ever gone? What as if would I be sitting here in the Humdinger Studios? Deal came crawling back. That's true. No, I absolutely would. We're a good news week. Yeah.

Do you know what? Do you ever get, we ever up for it or attend this? ceremony? I don't think I was ever up for anything because I would remember that surely. But the industry back then was, that was like 10 years ago and the industry back then, they didn't know their ass from their elbow. You know what I mean? Thanks so much, darling. No, I'm sure Good Newsweek was up for best. What would it have been? Comedy of variety or something. Whatever the category would have been. I'm sure it was on the list because we got invited a lot, but I know that it was never me. Like there was never any sense that

it would have been me giving a speech. What about games night? Because I'm, I love giving a speech. Yeah, you're a good talker. You're good with words. Thank you. You're like, you'll make everyone feel something,

but also it's funny and relatable. Oh my God. It'd be nice. It'd be nice. Maybe Claire could accept the award of you win. You can, yeah. That's great. Don't you, no, don't you dare because you can do it.

You, oh, you'd give a bloody great speech, wouldn't you? I would give, if I don't, I'm not going to write a speech because I, the category is quite stacked, and I don't think I'll be. taking home the Logie. But if I was to win, if the Sri Lankan community was to rally

and I was to win, I'd probably just do a speech about each of the other. Oh, but you've got to thank the Shalankan community. And I would obviously thank the Shalankan community. Like you have to do. That comes out naturally. That always just comes out of me. Oh my God. That would be so great.

So if the Shalankan community. As a Puerto Rican slash Irish woman, I'm constantly thanking the Sri Lankan community for their support and really getting behind me. I should say the Portuguese and Irish community should also rally. but it is so close. What are you saying? I heard the pee.

My brain auto-corrected. There's the kind of thing that you probably double check. Spanish-ish, you know? Spanish-ish. Spanish-ish. Yeah. And for the listeners who are from Australia, the Loges.

If you're Italian as well, I kind of sort of give Italian. Yeah. And why? Regional Riviera. No, Riverina. Riverina and the Riviera. Yes.

The Wagga-Waga Riviera. Yes. Do you know Wagga has actually really rally? There's been like newspaper articles in law. Oh, this is great. Yeah, it's really nice. I'm really proud, actually. I'm really proud actually.

It's awesome. Yeah, you should be proud. The person. I'm like, this rules for me. Are you the breakout star of Ghost Australia? Did any of the other ghosts? George Jow got nominated for Best Lead Male Actor in a comedy series, like the other girl one.

I got nominated for the girl one. He got nominated for the boy one. and Tamala and Rowan Witt both got nominated for our most popular new talent. Fun. Which is funny because they've both had such huge careers. Tamala is in Clever Man. Like she's been around forever.

She was like, and Rowan was the spoon boy in The Matrix and has been in every TV show ever. Yeah, it's crazy. It's funny to be the new guy 20 years later. But it's so classic, isn't it? Like overnight success. And it's like, well, I've been toiling away.

Anyway, but yeah, I'm probably the hottest one. in terms of hotness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think my ass is the best one. Really? Yeah, tomorrow is a really good ass. I can't believe it's not a category. Best ass.

I think that would, the Michelle Brazier Logi for best ass. Be the Kylie Minogue. Well, as viewers start turning off from regular network television and these appointment TV moments, I just think it's a way to bring it back. Yes. That's how you get eyeballs. Yeah.

I'm trying to think it's the equivalent in America. The Logies are the Emmys? I think so. It's the Emmys. It's definitely not the Oscars. But the only award ceremony that works now in America is Last Culture Easters Awards. Because no one cares about anything else. But that's like the cool.

That's like if I was there, that's what I'd want to do. What about getting slown? With respect. Love to get slimed. With respect to the Logies. It is incredible that our parents. premier screen awards like obviously there's the actors and they are respected in the industry but logis to be the to be our prime ceremony for honoring screen performances and screenwork

to have it a mix between luggy and bogey it's like from the outside of the it is so used to being like logy logy logy and from the outside it must sound outrageous that that's like it's like the middle name of This is also funny. Bafter's funny. I'm baffled. Bafter. Bafter.

It does sound very British. Bafter sounds a little bit like... John Logie Baird has nothing to do with Australia, right? I don't know. Why is it Lurgies? I think he was one of the TV inventors? TV guy, yeah. And he's Scottish-American, I think?

Oh, I love Scotland. John Awards, because that also sounds weird. Oh. I want a Johnny. Baird. I want a Johnny. Been a noted for a Johnny. Anyway, we should start the show.

Yeah, go on. None of that will go out. Hey, but you got me and Claire voting, so that's pretty good. Thanks, guys. It's working. I actually went to a message you the other day, Matt, because I came across something and I went, this is a who knew it fact.

Yeah. But should I reveal? No, I won't. Oh, yeah, no, you'll be given the game away. Yeah. You were saying just before we started that the last WhatsApp message you'd sent me. Yeah, usually for this game and also just in our day-to-day lives, I message you on Facebook Messenger.

So we're doing it on WhatsApp today. Last time I message you was December 2021, where I message you saying, you're still up for doing book cheat at my place tomorrow. Also, how was Poirot tonight? And then you wrote back, watching now, it's dumb witness. And you sent a photo of Captain Hastings and Poirot there in front of a, like an epic roof. And I just wrote, look at that roof. And then you said, spectacular roof.

This is a, this is real lockdown sort of. And I said, does that feature Bobby or Bob the dog? Love that little guy. So cute. My family was obsessed and you said, Bob is a real scene stealer. And I said in the credits, it says played by Snubby,

such a funny name for a dog. And then you wrote, Snubby, beautiful name for a boy or girl. Yeah. And that was the last message. That's beautiful. What poro was it?

Which one? Dumb witness. And there's this little like terrier dog. It's so cute. Yeah, it's called, and he calls him, Mischab.

Bob. It's the David. Densuchet. Yeah, gosh. I loved those borrower. They're so good. Dave, Dave really got me into them in the lockdown era. Great, well, great lockdown viewing.

We have introduced our children to the Brana Poirotos though recently. Oh, okay. Do they like the... Yeah, it turns out. We finally found something that everyone can, because one of the kids likes super creepy things. So a bit of murder, perfect. And the other one likes olden days things with olden days clothes.

Oh my gosh, we finally done it. And you love mustaches. Yeah, double mustaches. Do I ever? Because he went with a double mustaches, didn't he? Brana really made it a tiered mustache. That's a hectic. Like a comical muscle.

But he plays it much more seriously than that's a shesh. Yeah. I love Furoreau. I do, I like those movies as well. It's hard when you've seen sushi in action. Yes. I've never seen a Poirot and I think it would be up my alley. I think so too, yeah.

Oh, some just really excellently applied red lipstick. Okay. Some really beautiful, like, purses clicking together, the sound of clasps, the sound of olden days shoes clumping on wooden floors. You know what I? Like it's just, it's succulent murder mystery.

I love it when he goes on the road. Yes. To Egypt or to Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia. I'm like, oh, my God. Mesopotamia. I want to go to Mesopotamia. Is it, can I, can you send me a Mesopotamia episode?

Can I start there? Yeah, that one's called Murder in Mesopotamia. Is that movie or? It's movie length. So they started out as like maybe an hour-long ones. What year? Were these, like what era? Like the late 80s to about 2016.

There are two sushi-s. There's the early suhets, which are fine. But those more recent ones that were longer with people like Joanna Lumley in them. Okay, that's what I need to start there. Like, I started Doctor Who with Tenant. Like, that's the kind of person I am. But the good part I found is because it's set in the past. It hasn't aged.

Yeah, that's true. Yeah, but I get upset about colour grades. Yeah, okay. And maybe aspect ratio as well. No, aspect ratio is fine. Okay. It's color grades that upset me. I go, no, I'm too short-sighted for this.

I can't see anything. What's going on? Turn the big light on. I had to Google that mine wasn't real. Well, yeah, that's the thing with common names. There's lots of birds. Yeah. There's so many birds.

Oh, so many. You've got the Eve Blake sticker. The Eve Blake frog on your phone. How did you know that it was Eve Blake's frog? Because she gives me that frog. all the time whenever it fades from whatever I've put it on she goes I got your new frog yeah she gave me that frog yeah she loves that frog I'm going to see mackenzie tomorrow night I'm going to see mackenzie very soon yeah I already saw it in Sydney and I'm going to see it tomorrow I'll be at the

after party but I won't be at the opening night because I'll be a pretty woman on the boulevard oh sorry we're just having private conversation Eve Blake McKenzie ever heard of it Google it knows what's McKenzie she's amazing it is a retelling of um Macbeth Macbeth, but Macbeth is a child star called Mackenzie, and Lady Macbeth is played by Nikki Britton, is the pushy stage mum. Oh, fun. It's really good.

It's like said in like the 90s kind of Nickelodeon child star era. It's really cool. It's very good. And our mate, Tom Lowndes, did the music. Yes, which is very cool. Hot dub time machine, Tom Lowndes. Ever heard of it? Ever heard of all of that?

Big in Edinburgh. Ever heard of Shakespeare like Claire? Shakespeare, I've heard of, yeah. Listen to a book about his life not long ago. Did you? I don't really care about his life. So, the answer in for question number two. I don't really care about it.

It's ages ago. I care about his life way more than about. So much cooler than like. His plays I couldn't give a shit about. But his life I found fascinating. Did you? Oh, and he lost that baby and they made that sad movie. and I was like, oh, that looks really sad.

Yeah, I haven't seen that. I won't see that. But now that I know that it's about him, maybe I will see it. Yeah, you should go see it. And then just yell out spoilers from the auditorium. Actually, that's not quite how we're down. It's all guesswork because it wasn't really written down. Anyway.

Should I sing? Yes. Can you sing the, what did you sing on the Do Go On awards the other year? year, the Paul Walker is dead song, yeah. It's been a long day. Paul Walker is dead. And I'll tell you all about it when Paul Walker is dead. Been a long road.

That was. For Walker is dead. There's a Paul Walker joke that I've made and I put a clip of it on TikTok. And every single day, I put this up months ago, every single day, someone comments on it. It was fine. She actually had permission. to date him from both of her parents, so actually it was consensual because he was dating

this like 17-year-old girl. It was actually, it was actually fine. Oh, okay. Sorry about that. Yeah, I didn't realize that there was parental. Yeah, parents can give consent for that kind of thing, I think. And if they do, I think it makes, but very traditional. If your parents say you can do something, however heinous it is.

It's hard. Do a murder. All good. Actually, the parents consented to that double homicide. All right, so the question Oh, you're going into the time machine? You just went to get a remote. Oh, the heater's on?

Yeah, it's just on me right here. What is the heater on? Sorry, Dave. Because when I arrived at 10, it was freezing in the air. Oh, you put it on. I put it on. Okay, well, that's all right. And the door was open and now it's...

Yes. So I was trying to be discreet, and obviously I've not done that. No, you got up, you knocked things over. You screamed. You said, it's hot, top, top. I'm a fire! You can't say that. You're swearing.

Making a scene. All right. Take off all your clothes. Come on, Dave. Put the clothes back on now. Thank you, Dave. And I'm good. It feels like we're on Zoom.

I keep talking over Michelle. I think that's on me. I think it's on me. I think it's because I'm so tired. I'm not like, I'm not in the rhythm of the room. I have a funny feeling it's me. But anyway. I think sometimes I feel like,

I feel like if I need to do a wee, but I know I could do a wee, I can wait longer for the wee. You know what I mean? I'll be so thirsty sometimes, like devastatingly thirsty. I buy a bottle of water, won't drink it. Just having the water there. Yeah, just having the option. Or satiate me. Totally.

That's the same with a toilet, because you can drink from that bowl if you have to. Yeah. I think that's what we're both saying. It's like the reverse. I am going to pee. I'll be back. All right. It's a, I kind of like.

I like that because I rode in today and it is, it looks like a beautiful day if you can't feel it. That's my favourite kind of day. Yeah, I'm really like riding as well. It's like it's perfect. I'm slowly going down and there's proof. There's proof. There's proof.

Because that's where my mic is. Do you want this chair? No. I think there is one dud chair in here and you got it. No, it's good. It's slow sinking. Like the earth. Is that sinking?

No, just some of the islands. It's falling in the bottom at the end. Sorry, the attention was elsewhere for one minute and I really lost it. Where's the Logies this year? Sydney. Oh, at the casino? Yeah, the beautiful casino. Oh, it's the night of nights.

Night of nights. Television's Night of nights. I'm excited. And it's fun that it's a, It just started as like a magazine competition. TV week. Yeah. Now it's huge.

It's huge. I am going to try my dress with some shoes after this. Is that what's in the bag? No, I wish. That's a dress I have to bring back. That's my opening night pretty woman dress. I can show you the dress. Yes, please.

You should do a question. Describe Michelle Brasey's dress that she's, oh. Holy hell, that's gorgeous. Who's it from? Viviana Lorakit. Yep. I don't know them and it's stunning. Speaking of really good names, her name is Viviana Laura Keat.

Oh my God. Isn't that so good? What are they? So there are these incredibly, um, these sort of ombray blue and white flowers on the, like, chuel overlay. What are they, are they, are they, are they, are they just? Their fabric and beads. Oh my gosh. It's amazing.

Yeah. Well done. She did really. Well, it's so beautiful. They're very intricate. Oh, I love it. And it's very heavy. I love it.

That makes, that makes it worth going to the Logies. Good dress. It's about the dress. Did you get to keep it? Well, no. No. I would need a whole room for that.

Oh, okay. It's so big. You'll never wear it again. You guys want to see it? Yeah, I probably should. Sorry, I only show. It's not a, you know, wear every other. I found that when I was going to the Logies,

it was very, it was an uncomfortable experience. You know, like you're walking through, you have to walk a very long red carpet. You keep getting told to stop and turn around slowly so we can see. And look, some people thrive in that atmosphere. They're like, stop, turn around, show your dress, chat to be. It's so beautiful, isn't it? But Claire, you wouldn't get out of it.

And then you sit in the room and it's really, it's a really long ceremony and they have the lights on you because, of course, they're filming it. So it's not like watching a show. You are really, like, the experience of sitting in an audience with lights fully on you, you have to experience it to know how unpleasant it is. And of course, you are also, anyway, yeah, I didn't like it. Now that I'm a bit older, like I think I would enjoy it now, but it was right at the start of my career and it was so unfamiliar and you got, you had such imposter

syndrome and there were so many excruciating parts of it. So I didn't enjoy it when I was doing it. Yeah. And I think now I'd be like, this is so silly. I'm having a great time. So I, you know, maybe one day I'll get to go back. Yeah, you'll get to go back. I hope I feel. silly and fine. Here's my fear. I'm on the carpet. They go, who's this bitch? And I'm like, moved along. That's my fear. Yes. We had a web series nominated for the actors a few years ago. And it was during COVID, so only one of us could go up. So I went up to Dave and Jess. Oh, no. Doing it by yourself. Yeah. So I was up there by myself. I luckily I saw a few people I know. Like I think I had a few people. I sort of saw a few people around.

But I wasn't on the table with anyone I knew. But the cridious pit, which is to me very funny. But when you arrive, you know, they tick you off the list or whatever. And there's that long media red carpet that you go around with all the journalists stationed around. And like the head publicist or whatever at the start said, what a awardee up for tonight? I said, our best web series. He said, okay.

And she pulled up a velvet. She goes, you can just go straight in. Oh, no. That's a shortcut. And then you find yourself in an alleyway and then close the stage door. And you're like, oh, okay. I would have been funny if I experienced it with someone, but I was just like, yeah.

I'm like, yeah. Save, I guess she was basically going, I'm going to save them having to pretend to ask you questions or anything that's going to be used to. I'll tell you what, though, you wore a dress like that. Yeah. You'd get some questions. I hope I get some questions.

I was wearing my granddad's suit. I'm scared. This is beautiful. That's so funny. Oh, God. If that happens to me, I'm going to say, okay. I don't think that'll happen.
