Starting point is 00:02:34 I feel like the wire doesn't preclude you from doing the crowd. Any of us could do crowd talk at any moment. No, but you can get out there. You could stage dive. I could be the roving reporter. Yeah. Our second contestant this week is host of the Being Hot Is Hard podcast. Please welcome the one, the only, Cass Payne. Yay!
Starting point is 00:02:52 Thanks for having me. So good to have you here, Cass. They're precarious. The seats are precarious. We considered just regular chairs earlier, but then we're like, let's live on the edge. Our third and final contestant is from We Interrupt This Broadcast and Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe. It's the one, the only Ben Russell.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Welcome, Ben. Thank you. Thank you so much for being here, Ben. A pleasure. A pleasure. Hello, everyone. My name is Ben. It's a pleasure to be here. A pleasure Hello everyone, my name is Ben It's a pleasure to be here
Starting point is 00:03:26 A pleasure Is everyone excited about Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe? Yes In particular episode 4 which features Ben heavily Okay I have no idea That's what he was saying beforehand I didn't say that
Starting point is 00:03:43 He said you're the star of episode four. Yeah, I did say that. Who here has seen or heard, probably more likely, this podcast before? Yes, I have. I only just realised we haven't mic'd up the audience like we normally do, so people at home are going to be like, oof, that's rough. You're going to have to juice this afterwards in post-production. There is no one here.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Who hasn't heard the podcast before? Never seen an episode. Heard an episode. You're like, what is this? That's great. You sound a lot like me. Confused, but real cool.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Do we need to dub that in and post it? They wouldn't have heard that at home and say, I've never seen this, I don't know what... I don't know. That's what you sound like to me. That's what you sound like to him. Well, for you and anyone else listening at home who hasn't heard before,
Starting point is 00:04:43 this is the way the show works. 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. Okay, are we ready to play? Yeah. What phones are everyone rocking?
Starting point is 00:04:59 That's a great question. This is a Samsung Galaxy S9+. This is four to five years old at this point. Beautiful. Pretty good. What have you got there? A refur is four to five years old at this point. Beautiful. Pretty good. A refurbed iPhone 12 because I broke my last one. That's great. Last time I was on this show doing a live show,
Starting point is 00:05:12 I sat next to Mesa when he read out my passcode. How'd that go for you? It was really funny. I couldn't even be mad. Have you changed it since? It was really funny. I couldn't even be mad. Have you changed it since?
Starting point is 00:05:30 She's definitely changed her strategy of sitting next to me. Are you curiously silent on your choice of phone, Ben Russell? It's just nothing. It doesn't matter. Who is that? That's my director. It's a terrible photo. It's Craig Anderson. You wouldn't know him.
Starting point is 00:05:46 But it's one of the worst photos ever taken of him. I've still got it as my background. I just look at it and go maybe things aren't so bad. You're married, Ben. You have a beautiful wife. What are you doing? Why, is that weird?
Starting point is 00:06:05 I've been on for months now. All right, here is question number one. This one comes from a listener, Jim Bates from Sackets Harbour in New York. And Jim's question is, what does the word thunderplump mean? How are we spelling that? Plump. Plump. Thunderplump.
Starting point is 00:06:22 T-H-U-N-D-E-R. Classic Thunder. P-L-U-M-P. Classic Plump. That's Classic Plump. But you put them together you get something new and that's beautiful I think. In this case something old
Starting point is 00:06:32 but I guess everything's old compared to right now. For that to not be true you would have had to have made up a new word. But even then. The game would be very difficult to play.
Starting point is 00:06:43 So how the scoring works while they're writing their So how the scoring works, while they're writing their answers, 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. Oh, they're coming around to the house.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Loving that. House always wins, I hear. Yeah, that's what I've heard. But not in this case. Especially in House MD. So I put in two of my own fake answers for each question. I get a point for each of those that our guests choose. We're sending these to Dave Warnicke, right?
Starting point is 00:07:22 Yes, Dave Warnicke. Unblock Dave. Just unmute. The answer's around. So each of us can score up to three points per round which seems fair
Starting point is 00:07:35 but the probability actually favours me. The house. Anyway, our questions come from our great Patreon supporters. Any Patreons in tonight? And again,
Starting point is 00:07:44 people at home they cheered wildly there there were so many of them probably a million at least a million yeah and if you want to get involved you can sign up
Starting point is 00:07:55 on any level via patreon.com linked in the show notes what if you've been banned from Patreon? what did you do Ben? what did you do? I literally don't know what you have to do to get banned from patreon too supportive can we make it happen today
Starting point is 00:08:10 but i've tried so many times all right looks like the answers are in so here is question number one what does the word thunder plump mean a rapid growth of small plants and scrub after an overnight rainstorm in the desert. Oh. Yeah, that is hot. That's the hottest thing I've ever heard. A swamp shrub from the eastern US and Canada that produces greenish white berries that are irritating at best and poisonous at worst. Better hope for the best I guess there, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:50 A wrestler with no real wrestling ability whose main talent is being tall and heavy. That's still a talent. Yeah. A heavy and sudden shower of rain accompanied by thunder and lightning? The weight gained by a hibernating animal before winter?
Starting point is 00:09:13 Or when you have a tummy ache and only a fart will cure it? I'm thunder plumping. That's Ben's. I reckon it's Ben's. What are you talking about? You don't know me. Have you ever done that? You ever had a big tummy ache and you're like,
Starting point is 00:09:33 oh, I've got to... And then you do a big... Thunder plump. Rip a real hot one. And you go, I'm all right now. They hang up on Triple O. It's all good. You're fine.
Starting point is 00:09:49 They keep calling me back. So does any of those stick out to you, Cass? I really like the idea of the fast-growing bush in the desert. I think that's really sweet. And you're going to lock it in? Oh, yep. My heart's never led me astray. I'm just going to go the rain shower.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Rain shower. That one out of nowhere, the Thunder Plum. Heavy and sudden shower? Yeah. I reckon that's real. It does have thunder in the title and thunder in the description. Yeah, and it's plump. It's plump, full of moisture. Yes! What do we have left, Matt? What's plump. It's plump, full of moisture. Yes!
Starting point is 00:10:25 What do we have left, Matt? What's left there? So you've got... Two scrub-based ones, I think. Yes. Or plants or scrubs or something. Do you want a scrub or... Do you want no scrub?
Starting point is 00:10:37 That's good stuff. I don't want... What do you mean? I don't want no scrub. Is that what you want? Is that what you want? I don't know. Dude, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't want no scrub. Is that what you want? Is that what you want? I don't know. Dude, I don't know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:10:52 So you've got, the other options are a tummy ache, only a fart will cure, hibernating. It's on that one. I'd pick that one. No, that's Ben. That's Ben's one. Ben's decided to be a silly Billy today. I don't, I think that that is the real one though. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Yeah. I'm quite educated. But you're also a tricky dicky as well. That is true. I'm educated from the streets. I got streets mods. You've also got the
Starting point is 00:11:16 weight gain by hibernating animal before winter. I don't think it's that one. Got the wrestler with no real wrestling ability apart from being big and tall. They probably buy where the big men buy as well. Have you ever seen a wrestler? Oh, yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Yeah. And then... The one... The shrub with poison-ish... Poisonous and poison-ish berries. Oh. I'm going to go with the wrestler one. Wrestler one.
Starting point is 00:11:44 But they have all sorts of funny Words and such Heel Wrestle Ring Undertaker You can lock in one of those ones You don't have to go for your own
Starting point is 00:12:00 I think be yourself Carve your own path Thank you I'm going to do that, I think, yes. You're the master and the commander. That's beautiful. And oceans are battlefields. All right, well, let's go through who wrote the answers. And, Mesa, this is going to shock and...
Starting point is 00:12:19 Appal you. Appal you, yes. When you have a tummy ache and only a fart will cure it. That was Ben Russell. I'm appalled quite frankly Yeah But I'm not shocked I'm not shocked The weight gained by a hibernating animal
Starting point is 00:12:31 Before winter That was Cass Page Swamp shrub that is irritating or poisonous That was Jim Sackets A.K.A. The House Wait his name's not Jim Sackets That's his place Is that his address? Jim Bates from Sackets. That's his place. Is that his address?
Starting point is 00:12:46 Jim Bates from Sackets. Yeah, do you have the full address? Yeah. So that's a point for the house. One point for the house. Okay, ooh. Wait, is that right? No.
Starting point is 00:12:54 No, you just gave... No, that was one that no one guessed. Okay, well, the thing is I've also given a point to everyone else. So it's a level playing field. I thought it'd be nice if everyone was on one. Okay. You are the scorekeeper. You can do it however you like.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Congratulations, everyone. Thank you so much. You're all on the ball. Real condescending. Can the audience... Is there a column for the audience? Can the audience get a point as well? The audience are also on one point.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Congratulations. There we go. For those listening at home, they just applauded. Themselves. Pretty gross, actually. Literally no one. One point for one audience member. The rapid growth of small plants
Starting point is 00:13:30 and scrub after an overnight rainstorm in the desert. Cass picked that one and that was written by Maso. That's the one I love. So another point for Maso. Yeah, I'm a poet. You tricked me.
Starting point is 00:13:39 You didn't realise until just then. That's right. A wrestler with no real wrestling ability. That was also Jim Sackets. Tricky Jim. He's tricky. So that's a point for the house. Meaning the correct answer is a heavy and sudden shower of rain
Starting point is 00:13:56 accompanied by thunder and lightning, which Ben Russell got right. Well done, Ben. Very nice. Yeah, I actually knew that. So eat shit, everyone. Either the foil or... No, the heel.

Starting point is 00:14:57 The guy from Hershey came, but the guy from Altona Meadows didn't. Get the V-line. God, it's not that hard. Guy from Altona Meadows did it. Get the V line, God. It's not that hard. All right, I'm going to say this question comes from Shake. And it goes like this. Before being executed on the 10th of August 1966,
Starting point is 00:15:16 the year the Saints won their premiership, what were the last words of murderer James French? What were the famous last words of murderer James French before he was executed on the 10th of August 1966? How was he executed? Electric chair. Ooh. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Or as I like to call it, the thunderplump. While you're writing your answers, let me tell the audience, and Dave if you want to listen, a little bit more about the thunderplump word. Gordon and Jim, thunderplump has its origins in the 19th century from the Scots dialect. Is that how you know it, Ben?
Starting point is 00:15:55 You've spent a bit of time in Scotland. I've spent some time in the Scots. Is that where you've heard about thunderplumping? No, I think it was one of those ones where a thunderplump was occurring and someone said, that's a thunderplump and everyone went my goodness i'm so impressed such a wise person and then we all suck that person off yeah i'm a thunder pump there's there's also a band called Thunderplump,
Starting point is 00:16:27 and they've got 74 monthly listeners, which is pretty good. I'm not sure why the audience laughed at that. There is no audience, that's why. Dave, how many monthly listeners does Weed Hornet, your band, have? Sadly, yet to make it onto Spotify, I'm sorry to say. Have you heard any of these Thunderplump songs? These are the two that stood out to me.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Sushi Ridden Dinner Date. Sort of a weird way to... Sushi Ridden. Ridden. And I don't really like drowning. Just a little bit, I guess. Yeah. That's a weed-horned cover. The only way you can hear them
Starting point is 00:17:00 on the platform. The answers are in. So here's question number two. Before being executed by electric chair on the 10th of August 1966, what were the last words of murderer James French? Hey fellas, how about this for a headline for tomorrow's

Starting point is 00:24:44 So James French was serving a life sentence in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAllister for killing a man named Frank Boone, a West Virginia motorist who had picked him up while hitchhiking in 1958. French had requested a death sentence for that charge, but the jury handed down a life sentence anyway against his wishes.
Starting point is 00:25:04 While serving his life sentence, French was placed with inmate Eddie Lee Shelton. On October 27, 1961, French attacks Shelton. Young Shelton. That doesn't make any sense. This is how the final episode goes. So French treated Shelton to a last meal. So it wasn't all bad.
Starting point is 00:25:26 He gave him a steak sandwich before strangling him to death. French immediately confessed, explaining that he murdered Shelton because Shelton was, quote, stupid and refused to shape up. See, this is your kind of murder. They're laughing and being shocked. Cass, this is what you could do. Strangle someone. So French...
Starting point is 00:25:50 French, he's just done a second murder and he again asked the judge to sentence him to death and he committed the murder to compel the state of Oklahoma to execute him and he specifically asked for the electric chair, and the judge obliged in his request. That's commitment to the bit. Yeah, how many years do you think he was planning this?

Starting point is 00:28:52 You're all the improv guy Shut up Sorry That's what kind of nerd you are Wait does anyone Lock down anything in No one's locked down anything Okay
Starting point is 00:29:02 What are we thinking Ben You go first I think it's Jack Porkins Jack Porkins For Mace-o I'm cool. No one's locked anything in. Okay, what are we thinking, Ben? You go first. I think it's Jack Porkins. Jack Porkins? For Mace, sir? I'm going to go Jack Porkins. Now, Cass, you can do anything you want.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Or you could copy the guy from the guy that has the nerd podcast. See, here's the thing. Jet, or possibly Jet Porkins is a real guy, but maybe that's the fake answer to throw people off the scent. Maybe it's a different guy. It might be also the Bounty Hunter one. I don't know. I was going to go with the Bounty Hunter one just because it sounds like Matt made a name around
Starting point is 00:29:39 Jess Perkins. So I'm going to go to the Bounty Hunter one. Bounty Hunter one, she cast. But Jeff Hawkins sounds very much like a Star Wars name. And should we ask
Starting point is 00:29:51 who the audience slash murderer want to lock in? Oh dear. Alright, well let's go through who wrote the answers. Scoodle Boop and Doop,
Starting point is 00:30:02 that was a house. As was Dud Tootinroot, that was the house. As was Dud Toot and Root, I was on a roll there. Toot and Root. These could
Starting point is 00:30:10 also be Tism Band members. Hoot Skywalker, that was Maso. Pargan Hornstop, that
Starting point is 00:30:21 was Cass. I thought that was quite believable. I never would have guessed the real one. Bounty Hunter Grievous Slimer, also very believable. That was Cass. I thought that was quite believable. I never would have guessed the real one. Bounty Hunter, Grievous Slimmer, also very believable.
Starting point is 00:30:26 That was Ben Russell. Cass went for. I mean, the correct answer is actually Jack Porkins. We did it, Ben. Which is wild. I'm on to your trick of getting Mace that I went to the nerd ones first, though. I knew it was happening, but I'm like, I've got to let people know about Jack or Jet Porkins.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Wait, is that a typo? Is it actually Jet Porkins? No, I think it's probably Jet Pork I'm like, I've got to let people know about Jack or Jet Porkins. Wait, is that a type or is it actually Jet Porkins? No, I think it's probably Jet Porkins. Okay, great. Fuck. I love it how Star Wars has like, uh, Grievous and, and, you know, Chlumpy and Poodle and then Luke. Luke's there. Greg.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I'm Greg Skywalker. Is there a Greg? I don't know, man. There's a Ben. Thank you. So, Dave, that is one point to Maceo and two points to Ben Russell. And, of course, one point for the audience and a murderer. Wait.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Is the murderer amongst us? Yeah. They're here right now. Our one audience member is a murderer. Holding the microphone out to hear them kill.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Hey, mate, what do you do for a job? I'm a murderer. Dave will reveal the murderer at the end of the show. You get a t-shirt,
Starting point is 00:31:50 so you don't admit it. Stay away from me. I will kill. Alright, question number four comes from Ashley Dickinson from Bradford in
Starting point is 00:31:59 West Yorkshire. And the question is, what is the title of the book adult author Chuck Tingle, self-published on July 10, 2016? So he writes like kind of surreal, bizarro porn books. So the weirder the better pretty much.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Or not, you know, up to you. Sorry, it's 2016. What sort of novel? Adult book. Sort of like a surreal adult novel. Self-published. Okay. And while you're writing your answers,
Starting point is 00:32:32 here's some more information on Jack Porkins. According to StarWars.com, Jack Porkins was a pilot and trader who abandoned his home world when the Empire moved in and developed a new military base there. The burly rebel pilot flew an X-Wing at the Battle of Yavin under the call sign Red 6.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Stop me if you know this. His X-Wing developed a mechanical problem early in the battle, leaving him struggling to manoeuvre. Now, I can see you're all hanging on the edge of your seats. Before Porkins, this is so sad, could fix the problem, one of the Death Star's turbo lasers zeroed in on the X-Wing and incinerated him. He died via incineration.
Starting point is 00:33:13 That's a pretty cheeky way to kill someone. Though he bravely lost his life during the Battle of Yavin, Red Six has long been defined by fans not for his skills but rather for his last name. I can't wait for the movie to come out. Yeah, poor man. About the prequel, about his journey. It's going to be so good, man.
Starting point is 00:33:31 It's going to be absolutely fabulous. Apparently, the Star Wars fans love this. Maybe you can confirm or deny. I don't know. Shut up, you do. Yeah, I do. In the pinnacle scene just before he dies
Starting point is 00:33:48 people often quote this apparently someone yells out cover me Porkins and they love it cover me Porkins there's t-shirts and merch
Starting point is 00:33:57 with the phrase you can buy Jack Porkins action figure on eBay right now yeah buy it right now 23 bucks I dare you to buy it right now. 23 bucks.
Starting point is 00:34:06 I dare you to buy it right now. Pull the string in the back and it says, cover me Porkins. Which is weird because he's not even a guy. It's 23 US. Oh, plus 1950 shipping.
Starting point is 00:34:15 You should buy it. Buy it right now. It'll probably be worth something. I'll put it in a bid. Put it in a bin. I'll bid, sorry, yes. Hey, while you're still writing your answers Let's go for a quick break And we're back
Starting point is 00:34:33 Okay Your answers are in So here's question number four What is the title of the book Okay, I've written this weird What is the title of the book Adult author Chuck Tingle self-published On July 10th, 2016
Starting point is 00:34:44 No, that's fine. It's written perfectly well. It was just reddened pretty awfully. Reddened? Here are your options. Haunted by a sexy ghost. Shit.
Starting point is 00:35:01 It just came. Donk. Ben just dropped a little load His iPhone It's a Google Pixel Oh now you want to talk about it Option two Firing a gun with my alien milf lover Poker butt go, pounded by a mole. When was this written?

Starting point is 00:35:54 or dinner at the cream pie palace dinner at the cream pie palace uh matt i'm sorry what is a cream pie palace dinner at the cream pie palace Matt I'm sorry what is a cream pie well I've wondered that myself actually
Starting point is 00:36:11 Matt's got all the information there Matt what is a cream pie it's more of an American thing so I assumed
Starting point is 00:36:18 you would know about it but it's they're just they used to use them in like the Marx Brothers
Starting point is 00:36:21 no I mean like in a porno sort of context if you could just explain that to me, because I don't know. Well, I don't want to seem like a virgin or anything, but I have no idea. Does anyone here know what a cream pie is in a porno context?
Starting point is 00:36:39 You'll know. I love pies. Especially cream pies. Or pies. So we're not going to fall for your trick again. Mace obviously is a big reader of this guy. So Ben, do you want to lock in your answer first? So I love the Donald Trump one because I love political satire.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Sounds deep. And I think that Donald Trump's no good. Pretty brave. Shaq, I'm so sorry that you were here for that. I know you guys really look up to ex-presidents, but yeah. We're a bit... Ben can be a bit irreverent sometimes. I can be frivolous and flippant.
Starting point is 00:37:25 No one is safe around Ben Russell. His satirical edge and his little piano. My witticisms. That's right. Okay, so... But I also like the Pokemon Go one. That sounds plausible. Yeah, I love that one.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Yeah, the two topical ones. Because I appreciate anything that gets you out of the house. This guy is also prolific. He does pump out the content, so... Pumping out the content in 2016. He thunder plumps it out. Yeah. So I'm going to have to go Pokemon Go, lock it in, Matthew.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Well, it was Pokebutt Go. Does that change? No. Is he pounded? Is he saying he's pounded? Pounded by them all, yeah. Okay, I think from what I know about Chuck Tingle, he loves to use pounded, I think.
Starting point is 00:38:12 I think that's... Unless you've done your research, Matt. Surely it'd be... You'd think it'd be gotta pound them all, though, to be... Gotta pound them all. Okay, bud. But again, like you said he's pumping these out
Starting point is 00:38:27 like you know there's no time to think about words you like proofreading yeah yeah I think it's that one as well spoofreading I think it's poke
Starting point is 00:38:34 oh sorry there was no joke I was just excited why can't we schedule this at the adults only time of 2.30pm I'm going to lock in
Starting point is 00:38:47 the poker butts or ponder butts or whatever yes poker butt ponder ball and what about you Cass
Starting point is 00:38:53 I liked haunted by a sexy ghost I liked that too it was simple and if it was in 2016 maybe this was when it was just getting started it was a simpler time
Starting point is 00:39:02 yeah alright well let's go through who wrote the answers when he was just getting started. It was a simpler time. Yeah. All right, well, let's go through who wrote the answers. Dinner at the Cream Pie Palace. Whoever wrote this will be able to explain what it means. Ben Russell. Ben Russell. The round mound of rebound. I'll come back to you, Ben.
Starting point is 00:39:25 I know you have to think about it. Getting Over My Ex by Getting Under Sir Charles. That was the house. Caressed in the Butt by Donald Trump after the results of the 2016 presidential election. That was MESO. That was MESO. Firing a Gun with My Alien Milf Lover.
Starting point is 00:39:40 That was Cass Page. That was a good one. Thank you. Doesn't make me want to know more. Who are you firing it at? That was Cass Page. That was a good one. Thank you. Doesn't make me want to know more. Who are you firing it at? Haunted by a Sexy Ghost, which Cass picked. That was written by Ashley, the question writer,
Starting point is 00:39:53 aka The House. Ashley. Meaning the correct answer is Poker Butt Go. Pounded by them all. Yeah, that's someone who's never seen Pokemon before. Here's question number five. What is the title of George Martin's 1994 autobiography? So he's most famous for being the Beatles' producer.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Oh, I thought you were talking about George. George RR Martin. Without the R's. His is called I'm Never Finishing That Last Book. You're never getting it. Ha ha, I'm rich now. I'm rich. What is the title of George Martin's 1994 autobiography and while you're writing your answers here's the plot synopsis if you haven't had enough
Starting point is 00:40:29 fun stuff here's the plot synopsis of poker but go pounded by a mole I think this is worse than what Ben said according to Goodreads the main character's name is Torbett and he'd like he'll never run out of ideas Chuck Tinkle I don't think when he's coming up with names like that Torbett. And he'll never run out of ideas, Chuck Tinkle, I don't think, when he's coming up with names like that. Torbett is worried. After witnessing a slew of dazed roaming men and women buried in their phones,
Starting point is 00:40:52 he's beginning to think that this might be the start of a terrifying zombie film. Upon further investigation, however, Torbett realises that they are all playing a hot new mobile game, Poker Butt Go. See, I think he might have revealed himself as a boomer there. Can I ask, is this synopsis, does this exist online or have you watched it and these are your own words?
Starting point is 00:41:14 It's not a word, it's a read. Is that how you describe reading a book? You're watching it. I watch each word one at a time. But you're essentially doing a book cheat on this? Yes, this is a book cheat. A mini book cheat. Can we roll the theme?
Starting point is 00:41:31 Curious to see what all the fuss is about, Torbett plugs in and sets out to capture a nearby Pokebutt within his own balls. But when he arrives
Starting point is 00:41:41 at the location of this rare beast, Torbett suddenly realises that he might have bitten off more than he can chew. Now face to face with a handsome yellow Bigfoot named Pibaru, who sports a zigzag tail. Wait, is this, this is, this is original content. He's, but he's making his own Pokemon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Wow. Isn't that awesome? It's bold. That's, to me, that's tingle. Torbett realises the only way to catch this majestic creature is within the depths of his own butt.
Starting point is 00:42:14 So that's pretty, I think that sounds like a good book. Are you still taking requests for a book cheat? Yeah, well you sound like you've already read it, so. I've read it, so you don't have to, but you should. What would you score it out of five? I think five. Perfect book.
Starting point is 00:42:29 All right, so the answers are coming in now. Thick and fast. Here is question number five. What is the title of George Martin's 1994 autobiography? Hide Your Love Away. All You Need Is Ears. 1994, autobiography. Hide your love away. All you need is ears. In hindsight, the Beatles was a pretty shit name for a band and autobiography by George Martin.
Starting point is 00:42:54 I'm the reason the Beatles are famous. Beating it out of them. Bringing the music out of four blokes from Britain. Or piss farting with George Martin. One of these is a real title. Hide your love away. All you need is ears. In hindsight, The Beatles was a pretty shit name for a band
Starting point is 00:43:20 and an autobiography by George Martin. I'm the reason The Beatles are famous. Beating it out of them, bringing the music out of Four Blokes from Britain. Or Piss Fartin' by George Martin. I'm the reason the Beatles are famous. Beating it out of them, bringing the music out of Four Blokes from Britain or Piss Fartin' with George Martin. I think the Four Blokes one could be the real one, honestly. Is George Martin known for a sense of humour at all? He's a character for sure.
Starting point is 00:43:37 What about the one that says that it's an autobiography from George Martin? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tidying a plain sight there, isn't it? Yeah, that's right. Now, hide and tight, Beatles is a terrible name for a band. It's a pun. I'm not saying that they're a terrible band.
Starting point is 00:43:51 I love the Beatles, but I just think that... Yeah, because, like, Beatles are not, like, known to be particularly musical or non-musical. No, it doesn't make sense. Right? If they were bad at music or good at music, you'd be like, oh, Beatles. If Beatles were synonymous with music, then I would be like, okay, I get it. Beatles are a musical instinct. And it was so long ago, the good names weren't taken yet.
Starting point is 00:44:13 I know. Could have had Maroon 5. One of the best names. That's very bad. And people would always wonder who the fifth guy was. Like, ooh. It fifth guy was. Yeah. Like, ooh. It was Pete Best.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Oh. Mystery solved. Apparently George Martin was the one who kicked out Pete Best. Hmm. Bit of fun there. Now, Cass, do you have an answer here for us? Oh, I kind of love All You Need Is Ears. Locking it in?
Starting point is 00:44:42 Yeah. All you need is ears ba ba ba ba ba what do you think Ben so what was the first one hide your love away I mean that's that's it
Starting point is 00:44:57 right locking that in yeah I quite like all You Need Is Ears Yeah We like that one Okay give me One more time
Starting point is 00:45:08 We can edit this out There's nobody here So nobody can be bored by this So Hide your love away All You Need Is Ears In hindsight The Beatles was a pretty
Starting point is 00:45:14 Shit band name And autobiography By George Martin See that one Says it's autobiography Yeah I'm the reason The Beatles are famous
Starting point is 00:45:21 Beating it out of them Bringing the music Out of four blokes From Britain Or piss farting With George Martin Also beating it out of them The bringing the music out of four blokes from Britain, or piss farting with George Martin. Also, beating it out of them, the other thing. What was the one before beating them out?
Starting point is 00:45:29 I'm the reason the Beatles are famous. Oh, Gary, I thought that was one title. Oh, okay. I think it might be beating it out of them. All right, locking that in for me, so. Or all you need is this, but I'm locking in that one, just for fun giggles. We love to have fun here, don't we?
Starting point is 00:45:47 We do love to have fun here. All right. Well, let's go through... I mean, unless the boss is trying to stop the cream pie talk or whatever. Why would the boss want to stop the cream pie talk? I'm talking about Matt. Maybe he doesn't like pie. Oh, I thought you were talking about...
Starting point is 00:46:02 Brett Bruce Springsteen. Yeah. No, he wouldn't. He's a regular working class guy. He loves cream pies, probably. Nothing more American than cream pies. So true. So here's who wrote the answers.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Piss Fartin' with George Martin. That was The House. As was I'm the Reason the Beatles Are Famous. Hide Your Love Away, which Ben said. That was Meso. Meso, you piece of, you're a real piece of work. In hindsight, the Beatles were a pretty shit band name, etc. That was Ben Russell.
Starting point is 00:46:36 That was me. If you couldn't guess by me telling you my thoughts about them. Beating it out of them, bringing the music out of four blokes from Britain, which Meso picked picked That was Cass Page Nice one Cass That's good Meaning the correct answer is
Starting point is 00:46:49 All you need is ears Isn't that the worst? That's so bad I did a bit of a spit take And I read it on the screen I couldn't believe it It doesn't All you need is ears
Starting point is 00:47:02 I think we figured out Who came up with the name The Beatles. You've got hundreds of iconic songs and that's the one. All you need is ears. That's good. So good. That's a weird thing for a book as well.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Yeah. Yeah, I am. Oh, surely. Anyway, a bit of fun. I'm sure there's Beatles fans listening to this going, it's actually a really clever title, actually. Let's say Beatles fans. What I'm saying, I mean, the Beatles are one of the greatest bands
Starting point is 00:47:29 ever made by God. Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying that their name, they could have done better on both accounts, the book and the band. At least they're consistent. That is true. Consistency is key. Especially in podcasting.
Starting point is 00:47:47 If you could go back in time and talk to the Beatles, you'd be like, listen, fellas, consistency is key here. Don't, yeah. Stay in your lane. Stay together so you can all get old and do like a Rob Thomas duet. Also, John Lennon, this is the day you're going to die, so watch out for that.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Don't trust any of your fans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's question number six. It comes from Jenny from Melbourne. Are you in tonight, Jenny? Okay. Butt shake from Hershey, Pennsylvania, is it? Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Jenny's question is, no, let's say Shake's question is, why was Christopher Baker arrested on Valentine's Day 2015? Why was Christopher Baker arrested on Valentine's Day in 2015? While you're writing those answers, let me tell you a little bit more about George Martin, according to Logan Husky, who wrote the
Starting point is 00:48:50 question. Can't remember if I said his name before, but Logan... Are you Logan? So, Logan... Your fans love you. I mean, he's in Brisbane. That's probably fair enough
Starting point is 00:49:05 well show his ear I'm going to check the door list before I choose the questions next time so here's a bit more about George Michael George Martin
Starting point is 00:49:21 that'd be weird if all of a sudden I'm talking about George Michael I'd love to talk about him so he's from Wham you better wake him up George Martin. That'd be weird if all of a sudden I'm talking about George Martin. I'd love to talk about him. So he's from Wham. You better wake him up before you go-go.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Is that right? So Sir George Henry Martin Seabier was an English record producer, arranger, composer, conductor and musician. He was commonly referred to as the fifth Beatle because of his extensive involvement in each of the Beatles' original albums. All music has described him as the world's most famous record producer.
Starting point is 00:49:50 So that's pretty fascinating stuff. And all I've got down here. So, um... But apparently he also sacked Pete Best. He was the guy. Yeah, right. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Isn't that... Oh, he'll live to regret that. Who?
Starting point is 00:50:06 Pete Best? George Martin. Yeah. The band could have been so much better if they had Pete Best, but I guess... I do love Ringo, though. I'm one of the few people that... I am a big Ringo stan. I'm a big Ringo stan as well.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Yeah, I fucking love that guy. Love Ringo. Yeah. Love everything about him. Love him so much. I think Octopus's Garden's a great fun song. Oh, it's a great song. He wrote that on a yacht.
Starting point is 00:50:29 And you're like, how do you get your ideas, Ringo? I looked down and there was an octopus and I said, wouldn't I be crazy if it was in a garden? That's what I'd like to be. And that's how I made up the song. It sounds like he hated the yacht, though. I think he must have had a bad time in the yacht. If he's like, oh, I want to be down there in the shade.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Yeah, well, maybe it was rough and he got seasick. Oh, I think I'm feeling poorly. I'd like to be on the water. In the shade. Oh, hey, I read that down. Maybe he spewed in the water and Octopus ate it and he was like, oh, I brought Tommy to the picnic.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Yeah. So he's like, I'm just going to take trains from now on. Hey, wouldn't it be crazy if this train had a face on it? Yeah, I wasn't listening. I was putting an answer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:31 That controller's quite portly. Shake, you won't know this, but the English version of Thomas the Tank Engine had Ringo Starr as the narrator. Yeah. That might have sounded pretty baffling otherwise. Yeah. Whose was yours?
Starting point is 00:51:56 Jonathan Taylor Thomas or something like that? Yeah. Really? Dave, do you mind looking up who the American Ringo Starr is? Absolutely. I'm pretty sure I'm a K-2. While you're doing that, here's question number six. Why was Christopher Baker arrested on Valentine's Day 2015?
Starting point is 00:52:16 He released a rat at a restaurant in an effort to avoid paying the bill for his buffet for one. That's classic. He proposed to his girlfriend in the crowd at an NBA game. TV cameras picked up the moment and he was arrested soon after for bigamy when multiple women came forward believing they were his only wife. That's America, baby.
Starting point is 00:52:35 That doesn't make sense. He broke into a department store Not that this makes sense, Ben. None of this has made any sense. Doing this podcast in an empty room. He broke into a department store and stole a mannequin Not that this makes sense, Ben. None of this has made any sense. We're doing this podcast in an empty room. Yeah. He broke into a department store and stole a mannequin, which he later said under oath was his soulmate.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Counterfeiting licensed Hallmark cards with intent to sell. Held up a florist, a bakery, then a skywriting office in an attempt to craft the perfect proposal. Or attempted to deliver 500 love heart shaped chocolates to a local barista while also dressed as a love heart. The barista was not working that day and he got into a physical altercation
Starting point is 00:53:16 with the cafe manager. I know which one I want to be true. So he released a rat. He got done for bigamy. He stole a mannequin. What a day. What a day for this guy. What a day.
Starting point is 00:53:34 What a good, terrible day. Oh, boy. He had intent to sell counterfeit Hallmark cards. He held up Florist Bakery and Skywriting Office or dressed up as a love heart. I reckon it's released a rat. You want some cards? Hey, you like messages to loved ones?
Starting point is 00:53:52 Yeah, I like messages. Look at this. It's got the hologram saying it's me. Oh, my God. To my beautiful wolf. That'll be perfect for my wolf. I'm going to lock in the rat. I think it's Valentine's Day as a coincidence.
Starting point is 00:54:11 I think it's just a rat-based crime. All right, locking in the rat for Maceo. Oh, you know what? I'm going to go with my gut and do the love heart. Love heart dress-ups for Ben. And what about you, Cass? Mannequin. Mannequin?
Starting point is 00:54:30 It was Valentine's Day. I think you can find love anywhere. Sometimes holidays make people silly. I'm going to go with that one. I think that was right. Did you find out, Dave, who is there? There's been a bunch of people, but the first four seasons in the US
Starting point is 00:54:47 were narrated by George Carlin. Whoa. Wow. There you go. This fucking Thomas motherfucker here. And he's a motherfucking capitalist, man. Fucking guys, they work you to the goddamn bone. I love that.
Starting point is 00:55:07 That's why there's seven words you can't say on television. I used them all on Thomas. He found out the hard way, didn't he? Also, in the late 90s, he said... The fat cunt troller. Alec Baldwin. Oh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Alec. There you go. Thomas. Goddamn Percy. I don't know. I don't know. That'll... Harold.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Well, other people could narrate the... Let's go a little something like this. No. No, no, let's not force it. No, no. All right, let's go through who wrote the answers. Held up a florist bakery in Skywriting Office. That was written by Cass Page.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Counterfeiting license hallmarked cars with intent to sell office. That was written by Cass Page. Counterfeiting license Hallmark cars with intent to sell it was Ben Russell. Nice. Really funny stuff. And then he did the act out. Yeah, that was really good.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Proposing to his girlfriend at an NBA game. That was the house. How did that not make sense? I think you're right but I couldn't figure out. I'm a roadie. Because, I mean,
Starting point is 00:56:01 he's just proposed. You can't charge someone with bigamy when they're not married yet. No, but multiple women came forward believing they were his only wife. Ah. Okay, I could have made it clear. Then that logic is on point.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Otherwise, very good. Yeah, I'm a fucking idiot. No, it bends all over the bigamy laws. No, they actually couldn't get him for that. Yeah, because I've actually gotten off... What was the worst impression of ever done? No, I think it was great. I don't think you sound like that at all.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Oh, my name's Ben. Yeah, you're right. I don't sound anything like that. You've still got impressions. You did an impression of my impression. Thank you. Thank you so much. Try to deliver
Starting point is 00:56:44 try to deliver 500 love-shaped, love-heart-shaped chocolates. That was written by Maiso. Ha ha! I've done it again. I thought it was good. Thank you. Broke into the department store.
Starting point is 00:56:55 It's taken from real events. From you? You were arrested? Yeah, I was crook. I was crook in a way now that I've thought about it. You couldn't go on your permanent record, but then you had to do a police check. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's on there. I had to do a police check. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:05 It's on there. I had to do a short course. It's the whole thing. He broke into a department store, stole a mannequin, which Cass chose. That was the house. Then that means the correct answer.
Starting point is 00:57:19 May so God, he released a rat into a restaurant. Yeah, I knew it would be rats. Nice. I knew it. That puts you ahead. What does that make the scores, Dave Warnke? They are very tight on two points.
Starting point is 00:57:34 We've got the audience and murderer. But if they're the same, that's four points. Add them together. Oh, they're doing great. Also on four points are the house and Cass. Then in second place, on six points, it's Ben Russell. Right in front on eight points at the moment, it's Nick Mason. Now I'm here to win.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Now I'm here to win. Who's up by two. That brings us to the final question. And as you all probably know, the final question is worth triple points. Triple points. Triple points. And this one comes from Dave Loring from Nippaluna in Hobart. Dave, you in?
Starting point is 00:58:09 And Dave's question is... Shake. He came to my show the other night. That's why I thought he might have been here, but fuck him. So... Dave's question is, what is the synopsis of the 1985 film The Stuff what is the synopsis of
Starting point is 00:58:28 the 1985 film The Stuff Dave this one will take a little longer to write so let me tell you all about this rat incident oh yeah have you ever been busted releasing a rat into a restaurant to get out of pain I do love a buffet
Starting point is 00:58:43 gosh I love a buffet. Gosh, I love a buffet. So I've read about this in Vice magazine, a great journalist outlet. Well said. Thank you. And they said, at the Borneo Bistro in Sunderland in England, a baker arrived drunk,
Starting point is 00:59:02 smuggled a live rat into the restaurant in his track pants and then at an opportune moment, dropped the rat on the floor and went, ah! One more time for the tape. Dropped the rat on the floor and went, ah! Rat! And immediately turned to the waiter and said, that's a rat.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I'm not paying £7.25 for a plate of buffet food when there is a rat on the floor. Was it something I said? What's his top price for a buffet, do you reckon, with a rat? Like £7.25, he's not paying that. But will you pay £4? How much to lose a rat? Like, if he bought that rat?
Starting point is 00:59:42 Yeah. I don't know, what does a rat go for on the open market? Can you look that up? I'm on eBay right now. Cost of a rat in England. Here we go. So his lawyer tried to defend him, Dave. Oh, let's get the cost first.
Starting point is 00:59:57 It's mostly extermination cost of a pet. What's the cost of a rat's life? Another question. If you choose to go to a breeder or a pet shop You will pay on average anywhere between 15 to 25 pounds He's operating at a loss here Unless he collects the rat Yeah That's probably what he does
Starting point is 01:00:16 Picks it up and does the same for dinner later on He's a rat catcher all along He's a rat catcher So his lawyer tried to defend him saying, Christopher on that day had been drinking heavily and unfortunately he decided to buy a rat for his daughter by the way of a present. Unfortunately, he then decided to go for a meal.
Starting point is 01:00:36 He sat down and ate his meal. When he had finished the meal, he took the rat out and said it bit him. It jumped to the floor. He panicked and left the restaurant. He's very remorseful. I love how he's like, all right, we've got these things. His lawyer's like, how do we piece this into a story?
Starting point is 01:00:52 Let's get his daughter involved. That'll win sympathy. But is he remorseful that he released the rat or is he just remorseful that he got caught? I think that's it. It's probably that last one, yeah. I'm disappointed more than anything in Christopher Baker. Borneo Bistro restaurateur Kevin Smith did not take it well.
Starting point is 01:01:11 Kevin Smith from Clark's. Yeah, he also runs a Borneo Bistro. Yeah, right. And this is what he said. He was furious. He said, of Chris Baker, he is the scum of the earth. He could have destroyed the reputation I've built up over seven years. People like him deserve the death penalty.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Do they bring it back just for him? He said, as far as I'm concerned, he shouldn't be in our society. He is no use to anybody and he's caused nothing but grief. That is brutal. Unfortunately for Christopher Baker, CCTV caught the whole incident and he was found guilty. And sentenced to death. And I say good.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Unfortunately, Maceo, justice was not done on this occasion and he was spared the death penalty, receiving only a slap on the wrist a 60 pound 30 lashes yes also a slap on the back with a pretty full-on whip so he was so he was he was fine 60 pounds but also 7.25 for his meal. So you didn't get away with it, mate. You are the scum of the earth and you're no good for nobody. If you're listening, Christopher.
Starting point is 01:02:33 No, I love you. Thanks. Appreciate all the listeners. Thanks for the laugh. Especially the ones who show up. Here is the final question. What is the synopsis of the 1985 film The Stuff? Two newly single mothers get locked in a grocery store
Starting point is 01:02:47 whilst trying to steal coupons. They stumble upon a wormhole in the freezer section and travel to a universe in which women are the breadwinners and try to find a way to stay there whilst bringing their real kids over. What does that have to do with stuff? Family stuff. Probably family stuff. Boxing coach Nicky Silvermine is losing his mind.
Starting point is 01:03:11 He thinks everyone he encounters is going to be the next big thing, telling them, you've got the stuff, kid. He convinces many people who are unsuited to the fight game to enter the ring with deadly results. Wow. A man is released from prison on parole and is convinced to transport a truckload of stolen goods, the stuff, across state lines for a mob boss
Starting point is 01:03:35 in exchange for enough money to take care of his estranged daughter. Middle-aged hoarder Robert Dean lives alone in his cramped apartment surrounded by his stuff. Friendless. Hey, that's the name of the movie. Friendless and with the city council ready to evict things look hopeless. One day he hears voices inside the stuff that beckons him in. Robert is pulled into the stuff and must confront objects from his past
Starting point is 01:04:02 and the trauma that caused his hoarding to escape and reclaim his space from the stuff. That's got a lot of stuff in it. A lot of stuff. A lot of stuff. Big front row after the movie The Stuff. A lot of stuff. A lot of stuff.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Stuffed full of it. A strange alien organism found oozing out of the ground is sold as a delicious snack. Consumers become addicted to it, transforming them into zombie-like creatures who waste away from the inside out. Are you eating the stuff or is it eating you? I think they're eating the stuff.
Starting point is 01:04:34 I like that one. Based on what you've said there, I think they're eating the stuff. I'm playing this game wrong. I just give points to the one that I like. Well, finally, Brian's the nerdiest guy in his school and desperate to date Becky, the head cheerleader who doesn't even know
Starting point is 01:04:50 he exists. When he helps the school's resident bad boy Rex escape detention, Rex offers him a cool over and helps him shed his nerdy ways. Armed with a new cool over, like a makeover.
Starting point is 01:05:06 For coolness. It's pretty high IQ stuff. Armed with a newfound, albeit completely fake, sense of cool, can Brian win Becky over and prove he's got the stuff? That's the name of the movie! So there are
Starting point is 01:05:22 your six options. So who's leading at the moment? Maceo Maceo Out of probably two What do you want to go with Maceo? Okay First one
Starting point is 01:05:34 First one is about the single mothers Going through the wormhole It has nothing to do with stuff But maybe it's something to do with stuff Go on It doesn't say stuff once in the blurb it's a metaphor it's like um mermaids it's at a move this no fried green tomatoes I will punch you in your sisterhood of the traveling pants that's a metaphor I miss it when we were talking about cream pies
Starting point is 01:06:07 Then you have the boxing coach He lost his mind Making people box till death Yeah, it's the stuff Man's released on parole Convinced to transport a truckload of stolen goods Okay, that's stuff Then you have middle-aged hoarder Robert Dean
Starting point is 01:06:23 Whose stuff starts talking to him Beckoning him Okay, that's stuff. Yep. Then you have middle-aged hoarder Robert Dean, whose stuff starts talking to him, beckoning him. Oh, okay, that's a front-runner. Okay. That said the stuff the most. Yeah. Then you have the strange alien organism found oozing out of the ground. Okay, that's got to ooze. I like that one.
Starting point is 01:06:36 That one's the one I like the most. And then Brian's the nerdiest guy in school. He gets a cool over. I hate that one. Then he has the stuff. I'm going to go with the ooze one because I like thinking about and saying ooze. You copy me. Yeah, I copy you.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Stupid. I'm going to go ooze as well because I like it, but not because I copied me like Meso did. All right. Well, that leaves just you, Cass. I was going to go with the ooze as well. I like ooze. You can't copy me. I can't copy Ben. I could copy Meso, but I'm not going to go with the ooze as well. I like ooze. You can't copy me. I can't copy Ben. I could copy
Starting point is 01:07:05 Maso, but I'm not going to. Don't, because he copied me. Oh. What was the other one about the thing? Hang on. The one about the hoarder? No, the transport. Transport across... Yeah, I'll go with that. My second favourite stuff in this. Which one are you going to go for, Warnocky?
Starting point is 01:07:22 I'm going to go for the right one. Okay. I wonder what about the audience. Do the audience want to get involved in this one?ke? I'm going to go for the right one Okay I wonder what about the audience Does the audience want to get involved in this one? Oh wait, so that's not the right one If it helps It is the right one You know it? Yeah
Starting point is 01:07:33 You've seen the stuff? Yes Or have I? Would you like to change your vote? Now that you know that That's what the stuff is? No, I'll live with my stuff up. Oh!
Starting point is 01:07:49 All right, audience, do you want to go with A? B? All right, just lock them in for the real one as well. All right. I saw what you... Which one did Cass go for? Cass went for... I barely went for the wrong one, which is the man in the truck.
Starting point is 01:08:04 The man in the truck the man in the truck so let's go through who wrote the answers the single mothers who get locked in a grocery store go through a wormhole that was Cass Page it was a stuff metaphor
Starting point is 01:08:12 yeah it was a stuff metaphor they go to a uniform a universe where they have more stuff and the whole at the start of the film they're trying to get
Starting point is 01:08:19 some more stuff with the coupons if I could give notes I don't think you said stuff enough okay I'll remember that for next time then we had a boxing coach who lost his mind that was the house then we had the man
Starting point is 01:08:31 released from prison transporting stolen goods uh which cast went for that was meso damn it you just you just made him win yeah then we had the middle-aged hoarder robert dean living alone where the stuff would talk to him that was Ben Russell see I said stuff the most that was a lot of stuff yeah yeah yeah I thought that was good stuff as well then
Starting point is 01:08:48 Brian having the cool over that was written by the house in particular Dave Loring no that wasn't him who isn't here today
Starting point is 01:09:00 so whatever and that means the correct answer is the oozing alien organism have you seen this movie I have seen this movie it's called the stuff
Starting point is 01:09:09 and the stuff actually was eating them I tried to throw you off the scent by saying no actually they were eating the stuff the stuff was eating them
Starting point is 01:09:17 we gotta get this wrapped up so quickly while Dave is doing the scores we really did not schedule in 15 minutes of cream pie chat.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Well, then, we all know we should never ask Ben to explain what a cream pie is, because he will. He'll tell you. And he will do too long. The Stuff has a 73% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, though Roger Ebert wasn't a fan, writing, The Stuff is a 73% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, though Roger Ebert wasn't a fan writing, The Stuff is a wildly ambitious movie that fails because it forgets to attend to its bottom line.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Before you can make a clever, funny, satirical horror film, first you have to make a horror film. He's got the stuff. He's got the stuff. Well, he did when he was alive. Now, Dave... What? He's got the stuff He's got the stuff Well he did when he was alive Now Dave What? Dave
Starting point is 01:10:09 Let's go through the scores From lowest to highest Well in lowest position tonight On four points It's The House Boo Boo Boo
Starting point is 01:10:18 But The House is tied With Cass also on four Yay Then from there We go up to Ben Russell On nine points with Cass also on four. Yay! Then from there, we go up to Ben Russell on nine points. Ooh! Boo! But in second place on a combined ten points,
Starting point is 01:10:36 five for the audience, five for the murderer, which was that guy all along. It's the audience-less murderer on ten! But winning the day, he absolutely cream-pied it tonight big round of applause for everyone you've seen tight check out all their podcasts are all fantastic Nick Mason Ben Russell Cass page Dave Warnicky I've been Matt Stewart and now that you know it I've been Matt Stewart goodbye you know that's like a that's like a take off of
Starting point is 01:11:17 of um that show you like about detective guy Sherlock Holmes Holmes my mind went to diagnosis murder. That's why his
Starting point is 01:11:27 house, like Holmes. Dick Van Dyke. What a guy. And Barry Van Dyke and also Shane Van Dyke. All the Van Dykes in one camera.
Starting point is 01:11:37 Ben, just quickly, if you were going to play Dave and my game, we often enjoy this, how would you go playing Dick Barry Shane? So you've got to Dick one of them would you go playing Dick Barry Shane
Starting point is 01:11:45 so you've got to Dick one of them you've got to Barry one of them and you've got to Shane one of them I'd probably Dick Dick
Starting point is 01:11:51 Barry Barry and then Shane Shane oh my god that's classic classic combo that's the only correct answer I like that he gave him
Starting point is 01:12:00 a meal and then made sure he didn't you know didn't lose it in the murder yeah I've heard you just it all comes out of you when you get killed so what a kind that is kind that's one
Starting point is 01:12:11 of the best things about dying is that you do get to shit yourself oh thank god i'm just going slogan it just says murder it all comes out of you all just slips out so everyone dies doing what they love that's right yeah shitting themselves yeah where do you draw
Starting point is 01:12:31 the line at yourself when in terms of shitting yourself so I bet you'd think this would be an off air conversation but I think the way this podcast's going
Starting point is 01:12:40 I think we should we should air this out now keep it in keep it in so I don't know if you think this so if you could you in theory podcast going i think we should we should air this out now keep it in keep it in so i don't know if you think this so if you could you in theory shit yourself on a toilet if it was a surprise or do you need to have something that you're shitting into or onto i'd like to take this one yeah
Starting point is 01:12:56 so i believe in order to shit yourself the shit needs to have traveled a very little distance and still be sort of connected or attached to your person. I believe that's the legal... OK, so just say... Your Honour. So if you happen to... Just say you've had a really lovely shower because you've not been feeling great,
Starting point is 01:13:19 and you come out and you're still naked and you shit yourself. Does it count? That's a great question. Let's take it to the audience. Absolutely not. Doesn't count? We all get freebies when we're sick.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Good to know. If you don't ever want to shit yourself, don't put pants on. Basically, yeah. You found a very clever loophole. What if I'm wearing a fashionable pair of drop crotch trousers? Yeah, is that a long enough distance? There's a foot distance.
Starting point is 01:13:52 No, they would have to be arseless chaps. Okay, all right. You're still covered for your normal garb. Terrific. Or just like a skirt or a sarong. You can't... I think you're you're able to just shit without
Starting point is 01:14:06 shitting yourself in that I think that would count no no no because it would just as long as you don't touch cloth that's right I've always assumed
Starting point is 01:14:13 that arseless chaps still have a line down the middle no completely arseless really yeah we're supposed to wear
Starting point is 01:14:19 pants underneath it's like you are meant to well I've got to make some calls underneath. It's like... You are meant to. Well, I've got to make some calls. I'm so glad there's no audience here. We can be our true selves, our true crook selves.
Starting point is 01:14:37 Alright, so we're back. That's a little podcast magic. Yeah. Peek behind the curtain. Yeah. So we don't actually take a break when we say we're going to take a break. Isn't that crazy?
Starting point is 01:14:54 Sometimes we do more work. This will all be edited out. This is the break. No, this isn't the break. We're back from the break. You've broken the break? It never happened. Who even are we?
Starting point is 01:15:08 I've been going sober for like three weeks, so I honestly don't know. Give up on Ben Russell. He's been sober for three weeks, folks. Legit. It sucks. Now, Ben, while Dave's getting the scores together, what is a cream pie?
Starting point is 01:15:27 I'm so glad, and I'm going to get into real big detail, because a cream pie is when... Use all the skills you've learned. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I want you to imagine that you are in love with someone. Second City, Chicago. You can do this. No, I do.
Starting point is 01:15:49 Ben's actually, he's probably the best improviser in Australia. So it's really interesting to see how this goes. I'm king of improv. So like you love someone, okay? And you've decided together that you want to have a baby. That's really nice. Where's this going after that? So you maybe light some candles,
Starting point is 01:16:10 you maybe read some Chuck Tingle. Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. And, you know, you do a little bit of foreplay. I don't know. You might kiss. You maybe do a little bit of licking. Maybe, you know, touch each other's bits a bit. Maybe use your mouth. Maybe use other things, you know, charades and bits a bit maybe use your mouth maybe use other things you
Starting point is 01:16:26 know charades and whatnot that's the crayon pie no no no no then you get to the fucking okay and you fuck and fuck you fuck first you fuck it's so fucking you know what i mean you fuck really like a huge amount one of the biggest sounds cool one of the biggest fucks you've ever done okay i want you to picture that in your mind is everyone picturing a big fuck and you know this can be done between any i'm just using like this circumstance you're gonna make a baby in this circuit but you can cream pie anyone baby's optional baby's option yeah babies are optional you can cream pie a butt you can cream pie a pussy group my mouth i'm having some regret about opening the floor i knew you would but i gave you a chance i dropped it you know what i mean but you brought it back
Starting point is 01:17:22 okay so you're about to you're about to spooge. You're about to blow Is that a medical term? That's a medical term. You're about to blow your freaking load. Oh wait, no, that's a Star Wars character, spooge. You're about to explode.
Starting point is 01:17:40 Your peen's about to explode. Okay? Look at me. Keep eye contact with me. And in that moment, you don't pull out. So question five. Okay? Give the man time, Matt, for God's sakes. And you spurge in, and that itself is a cream pie.
Starting point is 01:17:58 Now, I believe it's a cream pie because it mimics... One second. I believe it's called a cream pie because you're like, hey, a cream pie is a pie, but it's like, looked like it's got cream in it. And the, you know,
Starting point is 01:18:14 the anus or the puss or the mouth or the nose or the ear or any orifice you can cream pie. They didn't grow into anything until the nose. You can cream pie anything, okay? Anyone could cream pie anyone at any time.
Starting point is 01:18:33 Not now, Ben, please. I've got a quiz to do. Here is question number five. And so when it's a cream pie, it looks like there's cream there. But the cream is the semen. Or the karma of some description. I don't know. You know, it could be, as I said, I don't want to.
Starting point is 01:18:53 Like a baker's delight cream pie? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like a Brumby's or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want to sort of exclude anyone from a cream pie. You know, a cream pie is a human right. That is so true, isn't it? Yeah. If we don't have that, is so true, isn't it? If we don't have that, what do we have, you know? If we don't have that,
Starting point is 01:19:08 we're just animals in a lot of ways. Well, animals cream pie. What? That's great. I'm hearing so much about this question five. You did this, by the way, and I purposely made it awful to teach you a lesson. I feel like I've learnt something there.
Starting point is 01:19:24 It's mainly about cream pies, though. I'm really sorry, I zoned out for a few minutes there, Ben. I was just buying a Jack Porkins digital trading card on eBay. It will be coming in 7 to 10 business days. So I missed that. Can you repeat what you were just saying? Yeah, sure. So, okay.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Grow up, audience. Grow up. Honestly, I'm not going to talk about cream pies ever again. Okay? You spoiled it. I was going to talk about cream pies a lot more. I had a bunch, but I'll never do it ever again.
Starting point is 01:20:00 That would have been nice, but... Yeah, but you've ruined it. Now we're never going to hear my thoughts about cream pies. Yeah. That's true. We didn't even get to the opinion piece of it. I know. I was going to do a whole op-ed about it.
Starting point is 01:20:16 Yeah, cream pies and me. And what I think in today's society. Spoiler alert, I think they're cool. If you end up buying a rat as well, that'd actually be really sick. I genuinely have bought this trader card. It cost me $179 Canadian dollars.
Starting point is 01:20:36 $1.79. That audience was licensed by Bobtown. I'd applaud for Bobtown. Yeah, I would too. If he was here, I'd be applauding him right now. I'd applaud for Bob Franklin too. Me too. I'd stand and applaud for Bob Franklin.
Starting point is 01:21:03 Any Bob walked in right now. Bob Dole. Bob Newhart Dull Bob Newhart Bob Hoskin I think everyone I listed was dead Bob Hawke Bob the Builder Probably dead Cancelled Is Bob Newhart dead as well?
Starting point is 01:21:21 I hope not Do you want me to look it up? Alright so we're up to the final question. Are the answers all in, Dave? The answers are in. And Bob Newhart is... He is... Alive!
Starting point is 01:21:36 Yay! Yes! He's not three! Who is that again? Oh, good. What a legend. That's so great. That is great news.
Starting point is 01:21:44 Bob Newhart. Yeah. I have seen the Bob Newhart show That's so great. That's great news. Yeah. I have seen the Bob Newhart show, so I probably should have known in retrospect. As women, our life stages
