Oh my God, can you believe it? It's the year 2024. It's Melbourne Comedy Festival and we've just moved venues. We're at the Grace Darling now. We had a great run at the Chinese Museum, selling out shows by the end, but now we need you to come over to the Grace Darling and shows are at 7.15. It's going to be so much fun. Love to see you there. Let's have a beer. Use discount code do go on the show's called dry dry at the melbourne international comedy festival then we're going to sydney and brisbane tickets to all that stuff's on sale now and you can find those tickets and details at mattstuartcomedy.com welcome to who knew with matt stewart the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart. Our first guest this week has a show coming up at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival called Bag of Vegeta at Saran Jayamana. That's me.

Hello. I was so panicked that I was going to say Vegeta wrong. And then you got the name. You got to Saran Jayamana and there was a big pause there because you're like, I only focused on the Vegeta. Yeah. I know you very well. It'd be more embarrassing to get the name wrong.

Okay. Well, I'm going to edit all of that out. Our second guest this week has a new stand-up show, Woo Hoo, coming to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. It's Lizzie Hoo. Yes. Thank you for having me. And our third and final contestant

this week is also performing in Melbourne with his show, Alistair Tremblay-Burchell. No relation, it's Alistair Tremblay-Burchell. Yabba-dabba-doo. Thank you so much, Matthew. Forget that you've got a catchphrase. Alright, the way the show works

is I ask a relatively obscure trivia question and our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read their answers as well as the real one and they have to guess which one is correct. Are we ready to play? Yeah. Let's go. I am now.

This first question comes from listener Siraj from Melbourne. Siraj's question is, what is the meaning of the word funambulist? What is the meaning of the word funambulist? is the meaning of the word funambulist oh so i'm in a good time already over there that's a great sign all right 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 one of the other contestants and another point if you correctly guess the answer and by the way i'm also playing as the house i've put in two of my own fake answers for each question, often with the help of the question writer, and I get a point for each one of those that our guests choose. So each of us can score up to three points per round,

which seems pretty fair, but the probability actually favors me, the house, and the house always wins. So if you've listened to previous episodes, you'll know that is not necessarily the case. Anyway, our questions come from our great Patreon supporters, and if you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com. Do go on pod linked in the show notes.

So the answers are in. All right, let's go back to our first question. What is the meaning of the word funambulist? The act of taking an ambulance to a drive in theater, a medical practitioner that uses comedy and props to alleviate stress, a medieval profession that specialised in setting the right vibe at royal dinner parties, a cartridge maker, one who manufactures cartridges and cartridge-related products,

a tightrope walker in a circus or in the wild, or quite obviously a fun ambulist is a hearse. It's like an ambulance but without the pressure because the guy in the back is already dead. It's like an ambulance, but without the pressure, because the guy in the back is already dead. It's no pressure. It's quite a few options to remember. I'll go back through them quickly if you need them again, or have you all got an inkling?

I've got an inkling. Yeah, I've got a bit of an inkling. I've got a bit of a feeling. I think this is going to be one of those days. I got it. This is a show. an inkling. Yeah. Got a bit of a feeling. I think this is going to be one of those days. I got it. This is a show. All about me. And me.

All right. So, are those the lyrics to a song? Yeah, the Lionel Woodley fave song. Okay, right. All right. What do you think it would be? I never enjoyed it without me. Yeah, yeah, great.

Yeah. Wow. So, this is the story of a girl. I've read a river and it's around the whole world, which is terrible. What are you thinking, Lizzie? I have a feeling it could be the tightrope. Tightrope walker.

How did that one end again? Tightrope walker in a circus or in the wild. I think it's, yeah. So it almost feels like a bit of word padding was going on at the end there. Yeah. I mean, yeah. A tightrope walker. So you're saying,

because like there's not a lot of jobs where your name of your job is different if you do it in the wild. Yeah, yeah. Also, it sort of adds context about what type of circuses. They're pretty wild. Yeah, that's true. A lot of the time they bring the wild into the circus. Yeah.

You know, so. That's the tightrope walker. In the wild just means like slackliner. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that is true. I mean, that does sound like a different word. That's fun. And then you need an ambulance.

I regret my decision. What are you concerned? I think it's the vibe creation in the middle ages. Vibe? Medieval. Medieval. Vibe creator. Yeah.

Fun ambulance. It's not a word that's kicking around these days, you know what I mean? So I think I'm putting it back into the medieval era. But vibe is very these days. That's true. But it's a present day description of the definition. But they loved fun. Yeah, they did.

I'll point out that things have been vibrating for a long time. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Some things never change. Some things never change. Like your phone as we were trying to contact you for for a long time. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Some things never change. Some things never change. Like your phone as we were trying to contact you for being late to this. Yeah.

Three times I didn't answer, it vibrated quite a long time. Al, what are you thinking? I'm also going to do a tightrope walker. Oh. I'm going to come that in. Yeah. As a, you know, I don't know. I speak a little bit of French.

Oh. Merci beaucoup. I have watched that movie bit of French. Oh. Merci beaucoup. I have watched that movie about the French, Tyler Walker, so maybe. Oh, yeah. I thought you were thinking there was one movie about the French. I've seen that movie about the French. Amelie.

That's good. All right. Let's go through who wrote the answers. The act of taking an ambulance to the drive-in theater. That was written by Lizzie Who. A medical practitioner that uses comedy and props to alleviate stress. That was written by Siraj. Okay.

The house. Cartridge maker who manufactures cartridges and cartridge-related products. That was, I would say, Trumbull. That's why you were laughing straight away. I just, I mean, I know comedy when I see it. I feel like Al comes in with the answers ready to go and then enjoys the question. The ambulist being a fun ambulist being a hearse,

quite obviously, that was written by Soren. Then we had the medieval profession that specializes in setting the right vibe. That was written by the house. Meaning the correct answer is a tightrope walker in a circus or in the wild. Hello. Or in the wild. Yeah.

I think Siraj, I mean, I just took what Siraj wrote. And yeah, I've got to think that he was, he'd written a tightrope walker. I can't have a definition that goes for three words. No, sure. And away it stretches out. You know, in a circus or in a Y in the wild or at the shops. Yeah. Could be anywhere really, in Australia or overseas.

So that's one point to Lizzie, one point to the house, one point to Alistair Trombley-Burke. The only thing that matters is that the rope is tight. Well, I mean, what about slack liners? Yeah. Yeah, they're not really trying, but the rope's still tight. You think it's easier when the rope is slack? No, no, the slack refers to their effort.

Slack liner. Sorry. So, yeah, they're just not taking it seriously. They could just be lounging. Yeah. I think I've seen them lay down. In the wild. Yeah, exactly.

Lay down on their things and bounce a little bit. Just like you would do at home on the couch. Or in the wild. All right. Question number two comes from Jim Bates from Sackett's Harbor in New York. Sackett's. Jim's question is. Sackett's Harbor. Sackett's Harbor is such a great name for a place, I think. Yeah. Bob Sackett Jim's question is Sackets Harbor Sackets Harbor is such a great name for a place I think

Yeah Bob Sackets Harbor Jim's question is What is the name of the small humanoids of American folklore Who emerge from hiding places to attack people So there's this mythical Apparently in America American folklore There are these mythical little humanoids

Who come out from hiding to attack people. What are they called? So, I don't need a description of them or anything, just what's their name. Oh, okay. And while you're writing your answers, here's some more information on funambulists. According to dictionary.com, it comes from the Latin funus or funus, which means rope and ambulare means walk. According to Siraj, Nathan Paulin claimed a new world record on the 24th of May 2022

as he completed the longest tightrope walk of all time, a 2,200-meter walk from a crane to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel, a tidal island and commune in Normandy, France. Was that in the movie that you saw? No. in Normandy, France. Was that in the movie that you saw? No, the movie, it was about that famous French guy that used to tightrope walk everywhere. He did the Harbour Bridge.

He did the pylons and the buildings. Yeah, I can't remember his name. He's the one who went up to the top of a building? No, that's Spider-Man, the Spider-Man guy. He creates the lines yeah yeah yeah and sometimes they're slacks no no no there is actually a like a guy like an italian guy who's probably probably in his 50s now or 60s something like that but he is known as the spider-man oh italian i wasn't yeah like italian spider but but i think there is also a movie called

italian spider-man so and it's just a dumb movie about an Italian version of Spider-Man, which probably makes fun of Italian. But I think this guy might be Italian and he climbs like, you know, world trace hunters or whatever like that. Is it Philippe Petit you were talking about? Yeah, maybe.

Oh, I thought that was the answer to the question. Philippe Petit. No, that does sound like guys that would attack you. It's that American fear of the French. Thate Petit. No, that does sound like guys who were attacking him. It's that American fear of the French. That one movie

that I saw. Yeah. I got attacked by another Philippe Petit. Is that an American accent? Yes.

Here I am. It was an expat. Okay. It was an expat but he's really assimilated. Sorry. That's really assimilated. Sorry. That's my comedy voice.

It's a great voice. I'm sorry for poking holes. It's okay. Yes, and. Yes, and. There was a lot more joy in it, I think, with the holes in it. Yeah, yeah. That's what my feeling about improv is.

Yeah. All right. The answers are in for question number two. What is the name of the small humanoids of American folklore who emerged from hiding places to attack people? Budgie Boys, Whoop Snoopers, Toddlers, Melon Heads, The Grablers, or Brian? The Brian is out LeBron took my child

Does your French knowledge help you out here at all? It's actually helping a lot Yeah Don't worry Because I think that these guys must have been Related to the Cajun people Right Traveled down from Quebec into New Orleans

And so That was particularly small Yeah related to the Cajun people that traveled down from Quebec into New Orleans. And so that was particularly small. Yeah. So, yeah, this will help. I'll be able to do it. Would you just, even though I know the answer, would you rather repeat for the listeners? We've got the budgie boys, the whoop snoopers, the toddlers,

the melon heads, the grabblers, or Brian. I like the Grapplers. I think I saw the Bougie Boys at the Corner Hotel one. Yeah, the Bougie. The Grapplers, it sounds like an

off-brand McDonald's character a bit. You know, Hamburglar. That's true, yeah. With the Grapplers. Ham Grapplers. Sounds like an action as well.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Like, you can picture them living in a tree trunk and their little fingers reaching for your pants as you walk past. Oh, the grabblers. The handsy grabblers. Yeah.

I got dacked by a grabbler. That's again the expat. Or locking the grabblers in the grabblers. I would also like to lock in the grabblers Yeah the grabblers I would also Like to lock in the grabblers Oh yeah Two grabblers I was going to go For the

Woojie The woojie The boojie boys No the other The hoop snoopers Yeah The hoop Yeah I don't know

How you Because it's W-H Would that be Hoop Or Hoop Hoop Hoop snoopers

Oh yeah I like that The hoop snoopers Hoop snoopers Yeah I like that That is actually really good I regret it I regret everything Alright Oh, yeah, I like that. The Hoop Snoopers. Hoop Snoopers. Yeah. That is actually really good. I regret it.

I regret everything. All right. Well, let's see who wrote these answers. Brian was written by Lizzie. Toddlers was written by Seren. Very good. The Budgie Boys was written by Alistair Tremblay-Birchall. Hello.

The Whoop Snoopers was written by The House. Oh, no. As was The Gravelers. Oh! So, three points to The House this round. The correct answer was The Melonheads.

The Melonheads. The Melonheads. Melonheads. What a funny name for a... Yeah. Small people. You gotta be, yeah,

afraid of the Melonheads. I don't know if I'm... Do we know what region? Could You got to be afraid of the melon heads. I don't know if I'm. Do we know what region? It could be like, you know, from melon country. Michigan. Oh, it sounds like. Connecticut. Those all look like, sound like places where you would have lots of water.

And melons. That you would then put into the ground to grow into melons. Wow. It's also cruel to refer to them as being small humanoids. The key detail, I would say, is the melon head. Yeah. That's true. Yeah.

If you've got a big head, who cares? Why are you focusing on the body? I think if they had said melanoids, you would have been on it straight away. Exactly. You know? Maybe it is all melon with arms and little legs. Yeah, but then the options would have been different.

It would have been the cantaloupes. True, yeah, yeah. The honey juice. The watermelon juice. Cantaloupes juice. All right, well, we're on to question number three now. This one comes from Jennifer Welliver from Marshall. Jennifer Welliver.

That is a great name. It is so good. So good. Say it again. Jennifer Welliver. Well, have I ever heard a good name? It's Jennifer Welliver. And Jennifer Welliver is from Marshall, Illinois.

Oh, yes. And Jennifer Welliver's question is which of the following is a real species of bird so we've just basically got to make up a species of bird what's the question which of the following I mean okay it'll make more sense when I'm reading it out with the options yeah okay but at the moment okay yeah. So you just got to come up with a made-up species of bird. And while you're coming up with that, I'll let the listeners know a little bit more about melonheads. According to Jim, legends have developed in Michigan, Ohio, and Connecticut

of creatures with bulbous heads who occasionally appear and attack people. I told you their heads were big. Different variations of the legend attribute different origins to the entities but usually include medical experimentation on orphans or the criminally insane. Some pretty wild tales.

There's details like, you know, there was a, regionally there are different stories. In one region it's like there was this asylum place and they escaped from there. But the authorities say that such a place never existed. But isn't that exactly what you'd expect them to say? I didn't believe that at all until they said that. Yeah, I know. I felt the same. Now I'm almost too strong a believer that you will never

be able to change my mind again. I can only change my own mind, as is what happens with most adults, apparently. I've missed this conversation. Yeah. Feel free to cut all that out. I want anything I say to only be on record if actually Lizzie's paying attention.

In life? That's true also. Yeah. All right. Here are your options for question number three. Which of the following is a real species of bird? Atticus finch. Yellow belly piney finch.

The peaking snack c**t. The hook snook parrot. The Peking Snack C**t, the Hook Snook Parrot, the Rare Flower-Crested Guatemalan Rainbow Toucan, or the Timber Doodle. Atticus Finch, Yellow Belly Piney Finch, the Peking Snack C**t, the Hook Snook Parrot, the Rare Flower-Crested Guatemalan Rainbow Toucan, or the Timber Doodle. It's going to be Timber Doodle for me me and I'll also pick a bird, please.

No, timber doodle. Oh, I want it to be peaking snack. That's so good. What was the second? Yellow-bellied piney finch. Yeah, piney finch. We're going for piney finch. That leaves you, Alistair.

Now, does your French knowledge? Yes, yes. This helps me a lot because we eat a big variety of birds. Poultry game birds. Yes, we're big game people. Have you read To Kill a Mockingbird in French? Atticus French. I read it in French, but the book was in English.

Translated. But like, I would look at all the words and it would be like, made in China. So you'd read it in broken English. Model Xiaomi, communication. They don't know that you're reading off a phone. Yeah, sorry, I'm reading off a phone. They think you're reading to kill them all.

That's right, yes. Well, I've obviously had a time. They could say the words made in China in the book to kill a mockingbird. They don't know what segment of the book I'm reading. Could be the preface, could be the whatever, the postface. Okay, whatever the first one is, that's what I'm going to go for. Okay. It's Atticus Finch.

Yeah. Yeah. It's so dumb. I think it might just work. All right. Let's go through who wrote the answers. The Peking snack cunt. That was Alistair Trumbull-Girchel.

The hook snook parrot. That was The House. The rare flower-csted guatemalan rainbow toucan it was lizzie who uh al went for the atticus finch that was written by seren which means seren is on the board yes finally uh the yellow belly piney finch was written by jennifer the question writer aka the house a point for the house there. But the correct answer was the Timberdoodle. So Serena, second point. Holy moly.

Strong round. The Timberdoodle. You're normally a no-scorer, right? Yeah, yeah. I forgot we've played together before. Well, I only know that from my one other time I've encountered you in the wild. Rather than on a. In a circus. Yeah, on a circus.

What does a timber doodle look like? It's a chunky little sort of plump ground bird. Flatless? Brown. Maybe has a little fly. Yeah, great. Like a chicken. Yeah, maybe.

You don't want to give too much away. Oh, do you want to see it? Oh, it's really cute. It is cute. That is cute. Anything that's sort of chunky like that. I love a rotund bird. Yeah.

With quite a long beak. So a quick score update. We've got Lizzie on one point, Alistair on one point, Seren on two points, but out in front it's the house on five points. Wow. That's a huge. It's quite a big margin. It's a big lead.

Can I just add that Timberdoodle is also called the bog sucker. How incredible is that? It's also known as. Can I just add that Timberdoodle is also called the Bog Sucker. How incredible is that? It's also known as the Hoke and Poke and the Labrador Twister. Oh. But it gets its name, Timberdoodle, from one of its other names, the American Woodcock. So Timberdoodle comes from Woodcock. Bit of fun.

That is fun. Bit of fun. Science is having a bit of fun. People who like birds are fun. Famously fun people. Alright, we're up to question number four. This one comes from David Kingfisher from Norwich in the UK. What is the small museum at Trinity Church in London's West End known for? What is the small museum at Trinity Church in London's West End known for. What is the small museum at Trinity Church in London's West End known for? While you're writing about that,

here's a little bit more info about Timberdoodles. Just a quick description here. They have a plump body, short legs, a large rounded head. What? And a long. They sound like a melon head to me. They got melon head qualities, that's for sure. They're little.

They jump out and they attack you. Yeah. They're poking labradors. They also have a straight prehensile bill. Prehensile means capable of grasping. Like concept ideas? Their bills are capable of grasping concepts and ideas. Alright, the answers are in for question number four. What's the small museum at Trinity Church in London's West End known for? It houses the old tax records for the churches in England. It houses the left ruby slipper of every Dorothy to ever appear in a West End run of The Wizard of Oz.

It's the birthplace of Sir David Attenborough. It's the home of the Clowns Gallery, a collection of eggs with clown faces painted on them. of the Clowns Gallery, a collection of eggs with clown faces painted on them. George Harrison was arrested for marijuana possession at this museum while vastly overreacting to its tapestry collection. Or it has a collection of empty celebrity drink glasses categorised by spirit and price. So it's obviously, it's a pretty big deal place. You've all been to London, have you all stopped by? Stopped by once. Can. You've all been to London? Have you all stopped by?

Stopped by once. I can't say I've been to the West End. No. I don't remember what end I went to. I saw a couple of shows at the Leicester Square Theatre, which I think is in the West End. Oh, I have been then. Soho. Okay, yeah.

And it was nuts. I was there like, you know, last November and I don't think I've ever been around that many people. It was wild. Really, have they reversed? Are they out of lockdown now? Yeah. They've reversed life.

What are you thinking? Surround anything jumping out? You were straight into Timberdoodle before. Well, I'd love to have another listen so you got uh houses the old tax records of churches yep uh yep locking that in i can't be that i don't know i'm just messing around then you had the the left ruby slippers of every dorothy birthplace of david attenborough clowns gallery with the clown eggs george harrison arrested there after overreacting to its Tapestry Collection,

or The Collection of Celebrity Drink Glasses. I'm going to go George Harrison. George Harrison. And the Tapestry Collection. I'm going to go Clown Eggs. I didn't realize, but that's how they're born. All right, let's go through. Who wrote the answers?

The Dorothy Slippers That was written by David Okay, The House Actually, I found that one very believable Yeah, yeah David also wrote the one about the empty celebrity glasses Oh, I was going to say that one I love this creativity

Yeah Then we had the George Harrison being arrested for marijuana possession and the tapestry collection. That was Alice at Trumbull. That's why it took so long. One point there for Al. Just nice to be on the board. It housing the old tax records for the churches in England.

That was written by Lizzie Who. So a point there for Lizzie. And the correct answer is it's the home of the Clowns Gallery, a collection of eggs with clown faces painted on them. I don't deal well with winning, but it feels really good. Yeah. I don't think I deserve this, but thank you so much. I think there's still a few more rounds.

No, no, I've won. You're not even leaving. I've won. I've won and it feels great. And I'm just being humble Can we get a score check? Never mind Anyway

It's been great I've been Matt Stewart So in that round we've got One point to Lizzie Two points to Alistair Meaning that the scores are now Two points to Soran Two points to Lizzie

Three points to Alistair But still out in front of the house on five points it's just nice to take you know to take points that would have normally gone to the house i also don't deal well with winning so i appreciate you doing that very much no problem that means we are now up to question number five which of these is a real doom metal band so you just gotta you gotta name a doom metal band. While you're writing your answers, here's some more information about the Clown Gallery. According to David, the collection is used by clowns to patent their makeup,

and the collection includes Coco and Grimaldi. Basically, in their clown system, they paint their iconic look onto an egg, house them in these museums, and there's a few of them around the world, and that basically means that people can't rip off their look. It's trademarked. Yeah, it's basically this. It's the patent office. That's where Clown Einstein works.

Yeah. And then eventually comes up with his theory of. Clown relativity. Clown relativity. General. General or special clown relativity. I can't remember. This egg-based system of registering clowns' makeup designs operates outside the courts

and is not enforced by lawyers. In the wild. Yeah. Really? In the circus and in the world. I would be surprised if you couldn't, you know, litigate using your egg. You know? I think you should be able to.

I don't know if you heard this, Lizzie. It's where clowns paint their original makeup face on the eggs. And that's what's left on the thing. Oh, it's like a trademark. Yeah, yeah. And now, I don't know, do they have Bozo? Did they mention if they got Bozo there? Didn't mention they had Bozo.

They did have Coco. They got Coco? They got Coco. They didn't mention Ronald? No mention of Ronald. Ronald's a big one. Ronald's more of a lawyer up kind of clown, I think. You reckon he doesn't use the egg system?

No. All right, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. Okay, the answers are in. Wow. So here is question number five. Which of these is a real doom metal band? Scrabapple, Carlotta's Knife, Smothered Mothers, Esoteric Thunderstormionysus pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs or peaking slack oh it sounds familiar i think there's one too many pigs in that that made it that through me i was i was on there quite like pigs it seems like the peaking slack kind is a callback to an earlier Peking,

but this is Peking spelled like the old Chinese city, whereas the other Peking was about looking out. Oh. It's not actually related to that other one. Oh, okay. No relation. Yeah, it's hard because it's an audio podcast, obviously, which most podcasts are.

Yeah, people might not have realised. So this has more got to do with the way in which the slack punt is cooked. Oh, yes, sure. Rather than. The style of the. Rather than one. More like the duck. That is like sort of looking through Venetian blinds.

Yes, exactly. So we've got Scrabapple, Carlotta's Knife, Smothered Mothers, Esoteric Thunderstorm, Dionysus, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, or Peaking Slack. I'd like to lock in Smothered Mothers, please. Smothered Mothers. Andoteric Thunderstorm, Dionysus, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs or Peaking Suck. I'd like to lock in Smothered Mothers, please. Smothered Mothers. And also I'll pick a band name. It doesn't work as well that time.

I'd like to lock in Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs. Are you much of a doom metal fan? No, not really. I don't. I appreciate. What is a doom metal fan? No, not really. I appreciate. What is a doom metal? It's an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music that typically uses slower tempos, low-tune guitars, and much thicker or heavier sound.

I will go the storm one. I said metric. Is that what it was? Yep. Esoteric. Esoteric. All right. Locking that in for Alistair.

Here is who wrote the answers. Scrabapple. That was written by Jamie. Okay. At the house. It was too close to crabapple for me. I was thinking crabapple as well. Carlotta's knife is Alistair Trumbull-Burchard.

Is it Carlotta's wife? Is that a movie or something? Carlotta's way. I have no idea. Carlotta's way. Then we had pickingeking Snack Cunt. That was Saran. Oh.

Oh. Interesting. Interesting. Oh, I wrote that. It is telling, though, that I had thought that the Peking Snack Cunt was actually about Peking. Right. Yeah.

I didn't think it was about looking. No. That's okay. Discreetly. You've gotten the okay from Al. Thanks, Al. Rest assured. Smothered Mothers, which Saran went for.

That was written by the house. Whoa. The Esoteric Thunderstorm Dionysus was written by Lizzie. Am I saying Dionysus correct there? Dionysus, yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, that's right. That's a point for Lizzie. And I saying Dionysus correctly? Dionysus, yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, that's right. So that's a point for Lizzie.

And another point, because you've got to correct it, is pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs. Oh, wow. This is the feeling. This is it. I get it. It's a shame we ended the game last round. I love it.

I can't wait to win as well. We've all won. Yeah. So that's two points to Lizzie, one point to the house. Meaning the scores are now. Serene on two points. Alistair on three points. Lizzie One point to the house Meaning the scores are now Serene on two points Alistair on three points Lizzie on four points

But still out in front On six points It is the house Wow Two more questions to go Don't forget There's still triple points In the final round to come

So this is truly Anyone's game Wow Question number six Comes from Ashley Dickinson From Bradford in West Yorkshire That's aorkshire related question i mean it's if if you said if you said alex dickinson ashley ashley dickinson if you just

said make up a name from west yorkshire that's the first name you would name no matter who you are yeah alex dickinson yeah so close it's's so close, but just a little bit. You're almost a cliche, Ashley. Ashley's question is, what happened on the 21st of June 2014 in Yorkshire that made the news? Something happened in Yorkshire on the 21st of June 2014 and it made the news. What was it?

While you're writing those answers, let me tell you more about pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs. Seven pigs. I think I said too many pigs before. Go to wikipedia.org. Pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs are a British stoner metal and hard rock slash doom metal band formed in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 2012. The Guardian listed the band as one of their top 40 newcomers in 2018. I think that's of any genre as well. That's not just limited to the top 40 doom metal bands. The band's

music has been associated with psych rock and heavy metal, as well as related genres of doom metal and noise rock. According to the band, the name came from making music with another band on their last legs. So a few of the members were in another band that was breaking up and it just wasn't fun anymore. We just wanted to start a band that was fun. It's a ridiculous name that I thought was a good fit. Here's question number six. What happened on the 21st of June, 2014 in Yorkshire that made the news?

Yorkshire was listed as a World Heritage Site for canals. Canals? Canals. Canals? Canals. Canals. Canals. Canals? Canals. Canals. Canals. Sea anals.

Sea anals. Canals. Sorry. Canals. To settle a bet, a man publicly fought a chicken and lost. The UK's largest figgy pudding was completed by the Earl of Newbury and his crack team of figgy putsmen. A new clock tower was built in the town square, but when it was completed, they realised a key part of the clock mechanism hadn't been installed and they had to start again.

A busy road was closed by police for five hours after a truck dropped its entire load of instant mashed potato. Or quite a few things. About 27 minutes worth of things. Then a weather forecast. A forecast? Then a weather forecast. That's what made the news. That's the thing that happened.

Oh, yeah. Right, right, right. Of course. I apologize. I feel like I know this is, this is so risky. I mean, they're all risky because I don't know what any of them are.

But I feel like the person trying to settle a bet, fighting a chicken and then losing, but losing. Oh, wait, losing. I mean, I've heard of a lady dying from getting pecked on the legs by her,

her own chickens. Can I interject? We've established already that your concept of winning is. Yeah. of a lady dying from getting pecked on the legs by her her own chickens well can i interject we've established already that your concept of winning is yeah is askew yeah yeah yeah so you're losing yeah that's true and we don't know what the rules are exactly um in this if it was like sumo or something like that and you just have to chase basically get push somebody outside of a line yes you know that i mean you know a chicken getting its flap on could probably scare you into stepping back. Could have been an egg-laying fight.

Could be an egg-laying fight. That's got quite an advantage there. Could be who can get eaten by this fox first. That's right. Who can push a clown's face out of their cloaca? Yeah, yeah. Could have been another thing. So you're happy to lock that in?

I'm going to go with it. I'm going to lock it in. Maddie. All right. Lock that in. Or Ali. What are you thinking, Lizzie? I don't know, Maddie.

I was going to go with Ali's answer. Yeah. Feel free. Feel free. We can share. But I wouldn't know, Matty. I was going to go with Ali's answer. Yeah. Feel free. Feel free. We can share. But I wouldn't do mashed potato. Right, lock it in mashed potato. Yeah, mashed potato.

Do you think the newspaper would have said Deb's Daster? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something like that probably. Could I hear one more time the clock tower? A new clock tower was built in the town square, but when it was completed, they realised the key part of the clock mechanism hadn't been installed and they had to start again. Yeah, I think that.

Wait, let them listen to some of the other options. Clock mechanisms are very vital. I feel like I've got to give the first one another go because I feel like it didn't give it its best chance. Yorkshire was listed as a World Heritage Site for canals. I really do struggle with this word. Canals. Canals.

Yorkshire was listed as a World Heritage Site for canals. It's because they've worked very hard. Is that right? Canals. I wasn't sure you were being serious. Yorkshire was listed as a World Heritage Site for? Canals. I'm going with that one, actually.

All right, locking that in for Saran. I want to hear you rate it. Let him hear a couple more. Which one? Maybe the figgy pudding one or the chicken one? Can I please hear a couple more? I'll do the figgy pudding one. I think I've said all the other ones again.

UK's largest figgy pudding was completed by the Earl of Newbury and his crack team of figgy pudsmen. Now I'm still going with the canals. All right, we've all got answers locked in. Let's go through who wrote the answers. Quite a few things, about 27 minutes worth of things and a weather forecast. That was Serenny. Serenny.

That was good. A new clock tower was built in the town square. That's how they make the news, okay? Yeah. I've not only worked in journalism a short time, but that is how. The House wrote the one about the clock tower. The Figgy Pudding one was written by Alistair Trombley Birchall. Oh, the Pudsman.

Then we had. When you use your own nickname in the answer, it gets very obvious. Figgy Pudsman. To settle a bet, a man publicly fought a chicken and lost. That was written by Ashley Dickinson, aka The House. AKA. So a point to The House there. The most obvious name.

Yeah. Yorkshire was listed as a World Heritage Site for canals. That was what Saran picked. That was Lizzie Who. Oh, congratulations. Oh, my goodness. Lizzie's on track for another double. She's about to get a double double.

Because Lizzie did also get a ride. A busy road was closed by police for five hours. I mean, yeah. It's an entire load of instant mashed potato. Oh, my goodness. And it was a disaster. It was a disaster. A deb-saster.

Yeah, it was a deb-zaster. Can I say technically that would have been one of the many things that was on the news that day, but there's still 26 other minutes. Yeah, that's true. It's very technical. And the weather forecast. It was an absolute deb-zaster. Deb-zaster. Deb-zainal. Deb-zaster. Deb's can-anal. Oh, no.

Because all the instant mashed potato would have gone into the canal. Well, it got moist and apparently it turned into basically like ice. So, cars were just sliding off the roads. Oh, yeah. Yeah, potato ice. All right. So, going to the final round.

Here's the score update. Serena's on two points. Al's on three. Lizzie's on six. But just maintaining a lead on seven points. It's the house. All right. We've got to get Lizzie home here. Yeah but just maintaining a lead on seven points. It's the house. Alright, we've got to get Lizzie home here.

I think it's still anybody's game. With triple points in the final round, it is literally still anyone's game. Yeah, let's get Lizzie home. So let's all make it really obvious. You put your name in yours. Yeah, okay, Figgy Putsman. Here is question number seven, and this one

comes from previous guest, Alexi Toliopopoulos from the Total Reboot podcast. So what is the synopsis of the 1988 film Picasso Trigger? What is the synopsis of the 1988 film Picasso Trigger? While your answers are being written, here's some more information about the road closure in an article written in The Independent. A busy Yorkshire road was closed by police for five hours on Saturday after a lorry dropped its entire load of instant mashed potato. Moisture caused the instant granules to soon swell up, turning the road into a mashed potato slide with cars skidding across the surface. a mashed potato slide with cars skidding across the surface. Police described the road as being like an ice rink and were forced to shut the A64 near Moulton in both directions. It took fire crews, police and the highways agency five hours to clear up the mess using snow ploughs and high

pressure hoses. The remainder that couldn't be cleared was frozen with chemicals. This isn't the first time Britain's love of mash has caused problems on our roads. In 2007, vehicles crashed after mashed potato fell out the back of another lorry. This is a common problem over there. All right, the answers are in. So here is the final question. Here we go.

Oh, jeez, I wonder if I'm going to win. Anyone's. Anyone's game. Question is, what is the synopsis of the 1988 film Picasso Trigger? A rare painting is found to have a secret message inscribed on its canvas, triggering one of the world's largest ever scavenger hunts. The race is on between Duff Jillingston and Eric Frondhauser. But who will be the first to find Picasso's gold? A young fashion designer moves to Paris to make her mark on French couture. But who will be the first to find Picasso's gold?

A young fashion designer moves to Paris to make her mark on French couture. When a stylistic and minimalist murder takes place at her new workplace, everyone points to the newest and youngest employee. A stylistic and minimalist murder? I love it. That's probably her fashion style. A crime lord triggers a ruthless hunt against all agents responsible for the murder of his brother, and the remaining agents will have to avenge their fallen comrades.

A down-on-his-luck art forger's fortunes change when he finds an authentic Picasso in his grandmother's attic. But with his criminal reputation, he needs an elaborate scheme to convince Sotheby's art auctioneer that his painting is genuine. A documentary depicting a blogger's mission to cancel Picasso after they are triggered by the nudity depicted in one of his famous paintings. Or when famous painter Pablo Picasso is mistaken for famous drug lord Pablo Escobar, he is forced into hiding. While on retreat in the remote foothills of northern Cumbria, Pablo runs out of paint. A painter's worst nightmare. Forced to improvise, Pablo gathers beetles from the woods

and crushing them for their pinkish hue. Will it be enough paint to finish his final masterpiece? Girl with a Big Gun? Wow. I didn't want it to be that one. Was he hiding from mobsters? Yeah, I guess. Wow. I didn't want it to be that one. Was he hiding from mobsters? Yeah, I guess.

Or maybe the law? I don't know. I feel like he could explain it to the police. Yeah. That's not me. I'm a French painter or wherever I'm from. I do like the idea of a Pablo Picasso bar. Yeah. You know, a kind of mixture of the two.

A mix-up. I think I would watch nearly all of these films. Which one wouldn't you? Oh, I probably shouldn't say. All right. I wonder if it's the real one you want me to name. Who wants to go first? What do you want to do, Lizzie?

Do you want to jump in? You've got the best chance to win. Do you want in first or last? Yeah, what's the second one? Second one, a young fashion designer moves to Paris to make her mark on French couture. Okay, no. What was the one after that? A crime lord triggers a ruthless hunt against all agents responsible

for the murder of his brother, and then the remaining agents will have to avenge their fallen comrades. Yeah, maybe that one. That one for Lizzie. I'd like to go with the art dealer. Sorry, the forgery guy. Forgery guy for Seren. So, Al, you've got those two.

You've also got the young fashion designer. Yeah. Being accused of the murder. You got the- Can you read that one again? I feel like there's- Where does Picasso come into the young fashion designer? Is the Picasso style minimalist and stylistic? Oh, of course. I'm not sure that that's necessarily Picasso style.

Maybe it was. I'm not sure, but- I should say- If it was a surrealist murder, that's what I would have thought. Sure. Is he one of those people? Yeah. I mean, he was a cubist by the end, you I would have thought. Sure. Is he one of those people?

I mean, he was a cubist by the end, you know? So he was like trying to like... He was doing a lot of different murders in different styles. If I remember what Hannah said in Nanette, I think she mentions that he was trying to work on this style where you could see things from all perspectives at the same time. I think that's what cubism was supposed to be.

Let's see. And then there's, of course, the last one. The last one. Yeah, go with the same time. I think that's what cubism was supposed to be. Let's see. And then there's of course the last one. The last one. Yeah. I'm just not sure Pablo, both Pablos were alive at the same time. Well, I mean,

I don't think it's a documentary anyway. Yeah, that's true. But I think they were probably alive. They were alive at the same time. Yeah, that's true. Girl with the big gun.

I mean, if it was like a, yeah, it's a session Baron Cohen film or something where he plays all the characters. Yeah, I like that. For some reason, it's starting to make me think about Session. I'm not getting many words right today.

No, it's fine. I'm going to go with the minimalist murder because I want to, at the very least, reward that piece of writing. All right. Well, let's go through who wrote the answers. The rare painting found to have an inscription and Duff Jillingston and Eric Fronthauser go on a journey.

That wasn't by the house. Those names were too good. I didn't really feel like there were any nibbles there. No. And then written by the house. Those names were too good. I didn't really feel like there were any nibbles there. No. And then the names came out. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

The documentary depicting the blogger's mission to cancel Picasso. That was also written by the house. Yeah. I think Picasso has worse reasons to cancel him rather than just the nudity in his paintings. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he was a famous drug. No, that's Pablo Asimov. It's happened again.

The one about Pablo being confused for Pablo, that was written by Saran. Oh. Did have a comedy vibe to it. I would genuinely love to watch that film. That sounds like a real bloody hoot. I'd call that, that sounds like a romp maybe even. And they're my favourite kinds of films. Love a romp.

Wait, so there's no painting called Girl with a Big Gun? I mean, it sounds like a James Bond film, but maybe. That would be Vermeer Trigger, I guess. The one that Soren went for, Down in His Luck Art Forger, that was written by Alistair Tremblay-Bertschild Oh, beautiful work I did love that one So we get bonus points there to Al

Feel very real The young fashion designer moving to Paris To make her mark on French couture That was Lizzie Who Meaning Lizzie got the correct answer A crime lord triggers a ruthless hunt Against all agents responsible for the murder of his brother Yeah, that's good

Doesn't even have anything to do with Picasso at all. The guy who got killed, I think his name was Picasso Trigger. Which is very funny. And I appreciate Alexei for getting us onto that one. I looked it up. It doesn't even have a critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but the audience rating is 34%, which is probably higher than I was expecting.

Final score check. No thanks. In fourth position on two points it's Saran Jayamana. And Saran, you're doing a festival show coming up. What's the go? It's called The Bag of Vegeta. It's at 6.20 at the Western Hotel, which is right near Town Hall. It's the whole month and it's called the bag of vegeta it's at 6 20 at the western hotel which is right

near town hall it's the whole month and it's a moose head show so it's a big it's that's like one of the big festival awards yeah i've already got the award pre-won amazing now you just get to cruise all right that's what i intend to do and i hope that you come along and cruise with me you're thinking about not doing the show and just cruising, really cruising, like just having people come in. When I say he's at the Western, that is the model of my car. Oh. Holden Western.

And, yeah, we'll just be touring around Swanston Street up and down. Chat laps. These are the jokes. This is the show. I'm doing it now. In third place on three points itself, Sted Trumbly Birchall. Man, it's just great to be on the jokes. This is the show. I'm doing it. In third place on three points it's Alistair Trumbull and Bertil.

Man, it's just great to be on the board. It was great. As soon as you felt like you were winning you didn't score a further point. That's pretty much

what happens. Yeah, that's pretty much what happens most of the time I think is that I, you know, I mean, this one wasn't even cockiness. This was,

I just, I thought I had to take the win while it was there. I think that was clever. Yeah. And you're also doing a festival show in Melbourne, at least? Yeah, it's your favorite kind of show. It's a romp. It's just me.

It's just a man and a microphone on stage. And then also a bunch of props and a screen so that I can have my PowerPoint. Getting into a bit of prop comedy. I'm going to do a little bit of prop. Yesterday I just thought of something that I thought of years ago and I'm going to try and do it on stage. You're going to smash some melon heads. That's right.

Fantastic. It's going to be really good. So wear water goggles to the show. If you're in the splash zone. In second place on seven points, it's The House. I'm doing my show Ding at the festival in Melbourne. It's at 6.30 at the Chinese Museum for the full run as well. So I think we're all clashing here. Yeah, we won't be seeing each other.

I'm also doing this podcast, Who Knew It With Matt Stewart, at the old European Beer Cafe. I can't remember what it's now called, but it's changing its name, and that's at 2 o'clock on Easter Sunday. I'm also at the Brisbane Comedy Festival in May. Please come along to those shows. Nick Mason's the first guest of book for Melbourne. Should be a whole lot of fun, but out in front,

swooping into the lead with a massive maximum point final round and finishing on a huge score of 12 points. It's Lizzie Hu. That's incredible. Wow. That's big numbers you were hitting there today. That was incredible. And Lizzie, you're doing your show all over the shop.

Yeah, all over the shop, my show, woo-hoo. I'll be in Melbourne. Yeah, all of the dates there and then sydney and brisbane yes exciting times and uh i'm i'm genuinely pumped i think when this episode comes out at the festival starting this week so oh well i should point out then i'm not actually touring around in a car it is a show in a room and it's a very good show. It'll be very funny. And I should point out that mine really will be around. Yeah. And mine's about a fashion designer that tries

to make it in Paris. I think everyone listening should come to all of the guest shows and say something like you know, try and see them after the show and say something like, Picasso trigger. Some sort of in joke that they'll probably have forgotten by then. Yeah, yeah.

Because this was about a week ago. And you can probably buy tickets to all by getting a laugh pack, which allows you if you buy a bunch of things together, a bunch of shows together, it's just a slightly reduced price. What a beautiful idea. You know what? And you can do that via comedyfestival.com.au. I think so, yeah.

Call it the who knew it laugh pack deal that you make up yourself. Love it. Thanks so much for joining us. Really appreciate it. People should definitely see all your shows. You're all fantastic comedians. And cheers for the listeners for tuning in to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart. And now that you know it, I've been Matt Stewart.
