Welcome to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart.

Now guests this week are from Aunty Donna and Mish and Zach's Leguizamarama. It's Mish Wittrup and Zachary Ruane. Hello. Hello. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you. Who Knew It. Fuck.

When you said titular, I knew it was going to be one of those things. Matt knew it with who? Stuart. Oh, no. Yes, it is confusing. When you came up with that title, be honest. When you were like, fuck, I want to start this podcast and it's going to be about this.

And when you thought of who knew it with Matt Stewart, you're just like, oh, fucking gold, son. That's good. Honestly, the name came before the show. I was just going to say that. I was going to put money on that. I was like, this name is too good. Yeah, that's so funny.

This feels like a back-engineered name. That's like I realised early on, like in my late teens, early 20s, that Mish is a really great thing to replace miss with so misunderstood so i've got a series of titles mish understood mish understanding mishap like there's so many of them and every time i think of one i feel like a fucking queen i'm like i'm just like fucking riding waves of money right to the bank with that. Mish's dream is to start calling our comedy shows Mishpuns. Yeah, but Will Anderson did it before me. Yeah.

And I can't just copy Will Anderson. I think you can. Okay. Other people have done it. Imagine. Call it an homage. You give that permission and then you open the comedy festival guide next year and it's Mish Wittrup in Will Anderson's philosophy.

Matt Stewart said I could. I think that's okay. Oh, she misunderstood. She Mish-understood. So the way the show works is I ask a relatively obscure trivia question. Our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read

their answers as well as the real one and I have to guess which one is correct. Are we ready to play? Yeah. So excited. Really nervous. I feel I'm going to be bad at this. I don't think you can.

And bad is funny. That's the great thing about comedy. I just have a few self-esteem issues, but we can talk about that after the show. I think, look, I think you're going to be fantastic at this. Thank you, Matt. The first question comes from listener Chiharu Nishimoto from Kawasaki in Japan. What is the definition of the 19th century term queer plunger?

What is the definition of the 19th century term queer plunger? And while they're writing their answers, I'll explain how the scoring works. So you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant. And another point if you correctly guessed the answer and by the way i'm also playing as the house i've put into my own fake answers with the help of the question writers and i get a point for each one of these that our guests choose so each of us can score up to two points per round which seems fair but the probability actually favors me the house and the house always wins though if you've listened to previous episodes you'll know that is nearly

never the case anyway our questions come from our great Patreon supporters. And if you want to submit a question, sign up on any level for our patreon.com slash to go on pod, which is linked in the show notes. This is I'm nervous and excited. Same. Are you being funny or are you really? I'm not talking about this with you. We had to discuss. Maybe I'm not being funny because I'm hilarious in real life.

We had to discuss. Maybe I'm not being funny because I'm hilarious in real life. Maybe if I'm being really boring, it's to throw you off my scent, my hilarious scent. All right, the answers are in. So here's question number one. What is the definition of the 19th century term queer plunger? The person who was in charge of maintenance of the queen's well. Back then, the King and Queen were called the Queen and Queer.

A long metal object used to extract earwax from human ears. A Victorian era kitchen utensil used to prepare rat and pigeon pie. The employee of a shipping yard who was in charge of water levels or someone who pretends to rescue a drowning person. I've got so profoundly no idea. The same. I, okay, I instantly go to Zach did the queen and queer thing. That's just my instant, like, that's Zach did that.

Oh, I love this game within a game. I just, I, yeah, that's what I instantly go to that. I don't think the pigeon and rat pie one is real. It's too specific. You would have a very specific utensil to make a specific kind of pie. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, come on. Come on now.

Multi-use tools really only came around in the 50s, you know, so. Their kitchens back then were cluttered with all these, you know, like the popcorn popper and the smoothie maker. Hang on. That's today. What was the last one again? The last one was someone who pretends to rescue a drowning person. No, that's not it.

You also had the employee of a shipping yard who was in charge of the water levels and a long metal object used to extract earwax from human ears. What ear? What ear plunger. I'm going to, I think I'm going to regret this. Okay. Because I don't think it's right.

Okay. But it's in its not rightness that makes me think it is. You know how sometimes something that feels a little fake, but I think this might be Mish's as well. But I'm going to go with the last one. Someone who pretends to rescue a drowning person yeah i'm gonna go with the water levels one water levels for mish all right well let's go through who wrote the answers so the long metal object used to extract earwax that was mish

this is gonna ruin our friendship no i love this love this. This is really fun. Yeah, it is fun. I'm really enjoying it. I'm having a really good time. I think this is such a good idea. And I wish we were co-hosts. I want to do this every week for the rest of my goddamn life. Who knew it was Zach and Mishas alone? Victorian era kitchen utensil, a rat and pigeon pot. That was the house.

You're right. It was too specific. The person who was in charge of maintenance of the Queen's well. That was the house. Then what do we have? We had two left. I got yours. Did I pick Zach's?

The employee of a shipping yard who was in charge of water levels, which Mish picked. That was Zach. Oh, my God. Well done, Zach. And Zach was correct. It's someone who pretends to rescue a drowning person so well maximum two points i used etymology because they're a plunger they're plunging into the water yeah and they're a queer fellow plunging into the water i was like

that that is what you would call them back in those days oh get bent no this is a this is a good first guy always i'm gonna be really bad at this is my this is how my luck works in everything competitive i know i swear to god this is how it happens every time i always luck out in the first one or two goes either i do terribly the whole time or i luck out in the first one, go at it, then I fail again and again and again. So now there's this weird thing like Zach's going to be good at this game and now I'm going to fail. I feel like a lot of competitive people love these kind of games because they love what it brings out of them.

I am the opposite. I hate these games because of what it brings out of me because I don't like to believe I'm competitive but i am genuinely this and we're one question in genuinely a like just a little bit mad at zach yeah this is good i love this because he's two points in front of me not one point but two points and i'm on zero and there's a chance i might not score once what i thought that has happened in the past it's gonna happen i'm gonna be bad at this but you should also know there's a chance I might not score once. Well, that has happened in the past. It's going to happen. I might be bad at this. But you should also know there's plenty of points still on the table. Fuck you.

And the final round is worth triple points. Wow. So, truly, it's still anyone's game early on. I also really love, I love a competitive game that's funny because I think that I'm very competitive as well, but I'm competitive to the level that if I am losing, I'll then switch to funny. Yes.

And be like, I never wanted to win. I was the funniest at this game. A show like this, to the listeners, they're not really caring who's winning. No. To them, the winner is the one with the laughs. Yeah. The one who's having fun, the one who's being fun. I hate to break it to your audience, having fun, the one who's being fun.

I hate to break it to your audience, you have tapped into Mission Zach's worst qualities. So, Zach, I better start losing so I can start being funny. All right, we're up to question number two. This one comes from Sarah from Dublin in Ireland. Oh, good on you, Sarah. I love Dublin. I've been there.

It's lovely. Have you both been there? No, not for ages, but I was there recently. I've never been to Ireland. I really, really, I will be going to Ireland at the end of this year. I've been wanting to go to Ireland for years. I've got family there. Oh, cool.

Beautiful, man. Is Rowena an Irish name? It is, yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. Yeah, my parents went to Ireland once years ago, and they came back with a statue of the Mother Mary and I was to build a little grotto for it, like a little stone house for Mary because that's what my family members gave to my parents and I never got around to it and I think I'm going to hell. Oh my God. Damn.

That's one of the worst things you can do, not build the grotto. Building a grotto for Mary's got to be up the top. Well, I think late 90s Ireland, that was pretty high up. I think they're less on the Catholic Church now. But back then, God, not building that grotto, really. Put a wedge in the family. So Sarah's question is, what strange activity did Irish politician Gerry Adams reveal to be his favourite pastime in a 2015 interview?

Can you repeat that for me, please? What strange activity did Irish politician Gerry Adams reveal to be his favourite pastime in a 2015 interview? Are you familiar with Gerry Adams? He's always denied being part of the IRA, but people think he's an IRA bearded guy. And the question was, what did he reveal was a strange hobby? Yeah, strange activity that is his favourite pastime.

Wow. While you're writing your answers, here's some more information on Queer Plunger. According to the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, Queer Plungers are cheats who throw themselves into the water in order that they may be taken up by their accomplices who carry them to one of the houses appointed by the Humane Society for the Recovery of Drowned Persons, where they are rewarded by the society with a

guinea each. I should say, Chiara, who wrote the question, also gave an example of a queer plunger who was a dog. From Paris in 1908 apparently there was a dog that rescued a drowning child from the sane sane river the sand sand thank you and was rewarded with a succulent beefsteak two days later he saved another child from the river and once again was given a beefsteak suddenly the drowning accidents became so frequent the neighborhood set up a watch the dog was found to be pushing children into the river to promptly jump in to the rescue. That is so funny.

Now that's a move. That's a movie. That's a movie. Isn't that incredible? It's a movie on Tubi, to be fair. It's a Tubi movie. It's a Tubi movie, but it is a movie. I love a Tubi movie. Love a Tubi movie. It's a Tubi movie, but it is a movie. I love a Tubi movie.

Love a Tubi movie. All right, so the answers are in for question number two. What strange activity did Irish politician Gerry Adams reveal to be his favourite pastime? Making chocolate from scratch? He only has a beard to hide a Queen Elizabeth-shaped birthmark on his chin? That his favourite pastime is trampolining naked with his dog,

a drying, preserving and ultimately baking with the fruit grown on his ex-wife's property, or when he was a kid he thought that IRA stood for Ivan Reitman Addict. These aren't, those aren't, that's not a pastime. A lot of those aren't pastimes. That's not a past time. That is a... What the fuck was that? Okay, that's not it.

And if it is, that question is fucked. There's layers. Yeah. There's layers to this. So I may have changed the wording of the question between me coming up with fake answers. Okay. Because there was also one about a birthmark on his beard,

which is also not a pastime. I originally had the, it was written as what did he reveal about himself in this interview? What strange thing did he reveal. And I obviously reworded it, but did not change my fake answers. I wonder if you can spot them. Can you please read them again? Thank you.

Making chocolate from scratch. He only has a beard to hide a Queen Elizabeth shirt on his skin, on his chin. Growing a beard could be a pastime. That's a pastime. Yeah, growing a beard is a pastime. Yeah, Matt, I don't reckon you wrote that one. That his favourite pastime is trampolining naked with his dog,

drying, preserving and ultimately baking with the fruit grown on his ex-wife's property. Or when he was a kid, he thought the IRAs were Ivan Reitman addicts. That's a, yeah, he was an Ivan Reitman addict was his pastime. Okay. Oh, that's tough. You described it as a. The three that are there are tough.

You described it as a strange, like a strange pastime and making chocolate from scratch isn't strange. Well, strange for a freedom fighter, maybe. That's the context. Because I thought the same thing when I heard it, but that is the context cure. Freedom fighter making his chocolate. I'm going to go with chocolate.

Fuck it. Fuck it. If it was, you know, Walt Whitman, is he the guy? No, who was the chocolate guy? Walt Whitman's the poet. He's the poet. Whitman's is the box of chocolate. Yes.

They're not the same guy. If Whitman revealed that he was a freedom fighter. So you've fully turned around, aren't you? I'm going Chocky. I'll go Chocky. and then so it's out of look i think that jumping up and down naked with a dog is very strange it feels right but i'm gonna just actually go with um the preserving yeah x-wise property yeah the preserving the x-wise property there's so much specificity there that could be- Great writing.

That could be like an overthought like written thing. It could be Mish's thing right there. But there's just some like left turns there that just feel like there's life. There's a life lived. There's a life lived. That's a lived experience, man. That's a lived fucked thing. So if that's not the one, then kudos to you, Mish.

Alright. Well, let's go through who wrote the answers. Some of these are going to surprise you. He only has a beard to hide a birthmark on his chin. That was written by the house. Oh, wow. When he was a kid he thought IRA stood for Ivan Reitman.

Addicts, that was also the house. It's weird that the guy who hosted doesn't understand the game, but that means that of the final three answers, you've both picked them. This could be anything. Wow. Making chocolate from scratch, Mish picked that. That was Zach.

Thank you so much. Oh, for fuck's sake. Yeah, right. Did you like the bit where I was like, oh, yeah, I thought the same thing. When you said that, I went back to your message to double check that I. I was like, Zach is playing dirty. But on the other hand, drawing, preserving and ultimately baking with the fruit grown on his ex-wife's property, which Zach picked, that was mish. I thought it might be.

You know, that's why I was like, I'm going to pick it because if it's wrong, then the depth of the, that's a wonderful piece of writing. Yes. I think sometimes and people in previous episodes will often do that. They'll be like, it's either right or I want to reward the writing. And either of those feel good. This is how I, so it's obviously he was jumping on a trampoline. That's the correct answer. Yes, it's either right or I want to reward the writing. And either of those feel good. This is how I, so it's obviously he was jumping on a trampoline. That's the correct answer. Yes, that's right. This was my process of elimination.

That's fucking odd, right? That's an odd pastime. I could believe it. But I was like, I don't think Zach wrote that one because it's not, it's odd, but it's not funny really. And I'm like, nah, I reckon. But then I'm like, there's no way he wrote the chocolate one and that can't be considered odd.

But then when you backed it up, I was like, okay, that's my favorite. Yeah, sorry. And I knew it wasn't the preserving fruit one because that little gem came from Mish Wittrop. But, yeah, anyway. I'm on the board. I don't care anymore. As a general rule, I will try and defend any answers,

whether they're wrong or right. I'll try and make, I'll defend it, whoever it is. Because at the moment it kind of feels like you're Team Zach. That's all I was saying. I will say that was kind of my thinking. What you said was, I was like, what's something that would be like, oh, that's odd for such a serious man to do. I was like, I don't want to go that crazy.

But the true answer was truly crazy. Yeah, it's very true. Did he just announce that one day? Yeah, in an interview in 2015. I'm going to read a part of the article that discusses it. And it sounds weird. I think it's out of context and maybe it was joking, but it's even weirder than that broken down, I think.

But anyway, I'll tell the listeners about that while you're writing. Oh, great. Your answer for question number three, which comes from Harry Green from Cows on the Isle of Wight. Oh, not Victoria's cows. Yeah. I used to go on holidays to an island. Phillip Island.

Phillip Island, a town in Phillip Island. The isle there is more sandy. And you get good fish and chippies. You do. You get great fish and chippies. Great memory. Love cows. But I'm sure the Isle of White Cows is good. Yeah. It's probably cold and wet. So, Harry's question is, are either of you wrestling fans? I've wrestled. Yes.

And I have been to, I go to Melbourne City Wrestling sometimes, which is a local wrestling. That's right. I was never a huge fan of wrestling growing up, but since I got into it at that level, I think they're like 400 seat of venues. It's a lot more intimate. You can really feel the like and see the impact.

I don't love it on television, but I like more independent wrestling. But not crazy. That's like a local melbourne yeah yeah yeah company and they do they get 400 people in yeah yeah they do once a month i went you you hosted one once you and your comedy group and i got i came along i got to sit vip for something i couldn't have given two shits about, which was wrestling. And it was so much fun. It's so fun. It's so, it's like everything, you know, it's theatre, it's acrobatics, it's big people smashing, like they really are doing damage to each other.

Right. I would encourage anyone listening to go and see like local, like the local version of it. Like I'm not super crazy about the big stuff, but the local stuff I think there's a lot of merit to. Well, just having that little bit of knowledge might help you with this question. From Harry, Glenn Jacobs is most famous for his character Kane,

who was the demonic brother of the Undertaker. But what bizarre character was he introduced as in his 1995 WWF TV debut? Wow. So you got to give me the character's name and a bit about their gimmick. So it's probably a couple of sentences. Okay. And while you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more about

Jerry Adams's trampolining. According to The Independent, discussing his hobbies in conversation with News Talk's sean moncrief the irish political leader was asked about his passion for trampolining he replied yeah i do it naked i don't do it with great expertise just the joy of it the dog does it with me it saves me taking him for a walk we just go out and bounce for a while the dog loves it in fact i caught the dog doing it on his own asked if the dog can do any tricks, Mr. Adams bizarrely answered, I don't want to discuss it publicly, but yes. Which is one of the weirdest things I've ever heard.

That's so funny. What does that mean? That's so good. I don't want to discuss it publicly. So he's asked if the dog can do tricks. He said, I don't want to discuss it publicly, but yes. That's odd. That is so that is odd is he an odd man i well i'm i don't know a lot about him but based on just this i'm gonna say yes he's probably a bit odd what an interesting man yeah i know him by name and i know he's a

bearded man and i know that um older people when I have a beard will sometimes say oh Jerry Adams over here or something all right the answers are in for question number three wrestler Glenn Jacobs most famous for his character Kane but what bizarre character was he introduced as in his 1995 WWF TV debut here are your your five options. Big Ben, the clockwork nightmare. He dressed up as a bell and his gimmick was correcting his opponent when they said something about Big Ben being a clock tower. He'd say something like, Big Ben is actually the name of the bell, not the clock,

but I'm going to clock you till your bell rings. That's so funny. The thing I love about wrestling is that any answer could be correct. Yeah, yeah. Whatever we're about to hear, anything could be true. I've seen some wild wrestlers. What are some of the local ones? There's like a, I can't remember his name, but he's like a rat guy.

He's a rat and he has a rat tail and he's a rat from Adelaide and his whole thing was that he's from Adelaide and people were meant to hate him, but we loved him. There was like an emo one as well, like a little emo guy that had like a full-blown emo fringe and like decked out. He'd just be all grumpy and real like, you know, like gnarky and then just like threw big men out of the crowd when they'd tease him about his hair.

It was amazing. It's like some real variety i'm so keen to go it does feel like it's so much fun it's incredible what was incredible for me was that i didn't think that melbourne wrestling was a thing but there's a whole community and it's like we all know that like like i mean the damage really is done to these people they are thrown about we all know it's a bit staged but everyone just immerses themselves in it. It's like LARPing. Yeah. Everyone's just, we're in this and we're like on board. It's just a lot of fun. That's so good.

So Big Ben, The Clockwork Nightmare, that's option one. Then we've got The Plant Man, a militant vegetarian who has gone crazy from not getting enough protein. Then we've got Siegfried Squelch, the human sponge. He wrestles wearing a full-body sponge suit soaked in water. He was a heel and the people hated him for fawning the water restrictions that were in place at the time. And you had Isaac Yankum, the evil dentist.

He had comically bad teeth and his entrance music was the sound of a dentist's drill Or the firefighter. He starts fires before each fight and then puts them out at the end. Imagine the firefighter versus Siegfried Squelch. That's so funny. That would be a big match. Wow. So you've got Big Ben, the clockwork nightmare, the plant man,

Siegfried Squelch, Isaac Yankum, The Evil Dentist or The Firefighter. I want Big Ben to be real. I really want that to be real. That's so funny. The Clockwork Nightmare. I love that. I feel like you always go first. I think it's only fair for me to go first. What was the second to last one? Second to last, Isaac Yankum, The Evil Dentist. I think I'm going to go with that. Fuck, that's what I was going to go with. You can. You can definitely both go the same.

Yeah, I think I know which one Zach's is. I was like, I don't think it's the dentist one. Oh, which one do you think is Zach's? I don't want to say because I'm probably wrong. Unless it's the dentist and he's just doing this to throw me. Yeah, I mean, I did generously jump in to do one. I would still get a point out of it. It could be a good strategy to get my point, to jump in,

offer to like take the fall but guess my own thing. God knows I thought about doing that move and maybe I've done it. But, Mish, what was your point about then I wouldn't have gone into so much detail if I did do it? But also maybe I would have thought. I'm going to go with the dentist because I genuinely thought and I think that yours was the vegetarian one. And you were correct.

The plant man was Zach. Yep, yep, cool. Well done. Siegfried Squelch, the human sponge, that was the house. The firefighter, the arch nemesis of Siegfried Squelch, was Mish. I love the idea of a little fire. That's what I thought. It's so fun.

And then his big finale. That's what I thought. It's so fun. And then his big finale. He's putting it out. Then we had Big Ben, the clockwork nightmare. That was the house. In particular, Harry. Harry came up with the name. I like that. I've worked a bit of a backstory out for him.

It's a fun way to spend your evening. That was very good, though. Like, if you were to be a wrestler, I think that should be your character. Which means you're both correct. Isaac Yankum, the evil dentist, is the were to be a wrestler, I think that should be your character. Which means you're both correct. Isaac Yankum, the evil dentist, is the one. That is very, very good. A.K.A. I. Yankum. Funny.

That's so clever. I could just see him coming out with a tool and, like, I just saw the visual. As soon as I heard that, I saw the visual of him coming out to do the wrestle and that's all the character needs to be yes it's just what's the impact when they walk out and then once they like then they usually just robe and then wrestle did you guess mine were you like I reckon she's a firefighter no I had no idea which one was yours I just felt that Yankum was right and then it's fine it was a massive flop though and you know you love the idea and the name. Vince McMahon came up with it.

He's like the big guy in WWE. Oh, yeah, okay. There you go. Yeah, so newfound respect for him. Yeah, big time. Even though it was a massive flop of an idea and it's seen as like borderline embarrassing for the wrestling community that it ever happened.

All right. Question number four comes from Elliot from England. And the question is- Oh, that's from England. Yeah. Or Japan. It's been a lot of- Which really is the England of Asia.

It is. Oh, we've had Ireland as well. Yeah, which really is- They were not England at all. I really don't think they will enjoy you drawing that comparison. But Elliot writes, which of these is the name of a town located in the Test Valley in England? So you've basically just got to come up with a fake English town name. Oh.

Oh, okay. Wow. While you're writing your answers, here's a little more info about the evil dentist. Now, while you're writing your answers, here's a little more info about the evil dentist. Jacobs didn't like the idea of playing a dentist, but it was his chance of making the big time as it was WWE chairman Vince McMahon's idea. As Jacobs later recounted, I get into his office and Vince McMahon walks in and asked me if I've ever been afraid to go to the dentist. I said, no, I wasn't.

I thought Vince was just trying to get into my head. He said that he always had this idea for a character, a wrestling dentist named Isaac Yankum. He said that he thinks that I would be perfect for it. Here I am sitting across from the most powerful man in my industry and I'm trying to keep a poker face. Meanwhile, I'm going, dude, you flew me all the way from Knoxville, Tennessee, just to tell me that you were going to make me a wrestling dentist? The character was a flop, but really, that was on me. That wasn't a character that I could invest in, and I didn't. It was my fault. My teeth were painted. It tasted terrible. According to Harry, Glenn Jacobs would go on to portray Kane for many years, including in the 2006 WWE produced film See No Evil.

Former WWE creative team member Dan Madigan later revealed that WWE chairman Vince McMahon, which I'm learning is an ideas man more than anything. Not more than anything. He's a get as much of a percentage of these people's lives. How's this for his idea that he was adamant about that there should be a scene in the film where Kane's penis was shown to be three feet long. It's unknown why Vince was so dead set on this scene,

but they ended up cutting it before the final cut anyway. Jesus Christ. Yeah. He's an odd guy. Yeah. That's a massive penis. Yeah. That's just also.

Oh, is it? Yeah, he's an odd guy. Yeah, that's a massive penis. Yeah, that's just also. That'd be like. Oh, is it? Well, it is for me specifically. I just would know that, like, I thought that was normal. All right, while you're still writing your answers,

let's go for a quick break. Okay, so your answers are in. So here's question number four. Which of these is the name of a town located in the Test Valley in England? Wallop Sheer upon Thames, Jolly Good Shoten, Fred Binton, Nether Wallop or Upper Ballbag? They're two with Wallop in their name. Oh, my God, there are.

Can you read them again? Wallop Sheer upon Thames, Jolly Good Shoten, Brad Binton, Nether Wallop or Upper Ball Bag? Oh, this could be yours. Nether Wallop. Nether Wallop for Mish. I think that might be yours, though. No, I'm going with Netherwallop.

I'll just lock it in. I've got my point. I'm good. I really like my point. Yeah. It's really hard. Normally, I've scored by now, and I'm on nought. Oh, did I get a point last round?

Yeah, you got it right. Oh, I'm on two points. Yes, quick score update. The house on. Oh, I'm on two points. Yes, quick score update. The House on zero points. Mish on two points, but out in front, Zach on four points. Still truly anyone's game. I think I'm going to fall behind on this one. I really have no idea.

All of them sound very silly. I'm so sorry. Can I hear them one more time? Wallop Shear upon Thames, Jolly Good Shoten, Bread Binton, Nether Wallop or Upper Ball Bag. I think it's either Bread Binton or Upper Ball Bag. I truly think it might be Upper Ball Bag because that's so silly. That's so silly.

Bread Binton also silly. You've got to get in the mind of Elliot from England as well. What would he send in? And the way you know Elliot, I think you can get to the bottom of this. I think I'm going to go... Upper ball bag's too funny, isn't it? Upper ball bag. Too funny to pick or too funny not to pick?

Too funny to pick and to... So, With or Without You by U2. Too funny to pick and to- So, With or Without You by U2. Too funny to pick and- To both. Both. I'm going to go with Upper Ball Bag. Right. Against every fibre of my being.

All right. Locked it in. All right. Let's go through who wrote the answers. Wallop Sheer upon Thames. That was Zach. You were right on the Wallop. I knew you were a Wallop boy.

I knew he was a Wallop boy. Is it because I addressed wallop? No, no, no. When I heard the first one, I was like, that's Zach. But then when you did never wallop, I'm like, that's Zach, but Zach's also a Thames boy. I love it upon Thames. I think it's so funny.

Yeah, upon Thames is the most Zach thing I've ever heard in my life. Why would they say upon Thames? I know it's upon Thames. I can see the Thames. Jolly good showton, that was the house. Bread Binton was Mish. Upper Ball Bag was Elliot, a.k.a. the house, meaning Nether Wallop was correct.

Yes! Congratulations, Mish. How amazing that you also put in Wallop for a question where the real answer was Wallop. Pretty crazy. I feel like I should get a half point. Absolutely not. I feel like I gave half the answer. I wanted you to pick Bread Binton so bad. I was reallyop. Pretty crazy. I feel like I should get a half point. Absolutely not. I feel like I gave half the answer.

I wanted you to pick Fred Binton so bad. I was really proud of my answer. Too proud. Like, what a fucking loser. I thought that our ball bag, right, it's when you said, you know, Elliot, right? You were like, in your way, you know, Elliot. And what's crazy, because was that Elliot's offer? That was Elliot's offer. And I think in that moment, I reached out to Elliot through psychic connection.

And I asked Elliot, why did you choose this answer? And the answer I got was because upper ball bag is funny. And I thought what that meant was this question was chosen because the answer was so funny. Not I chose the question, then I thought of a funny answer and that was on me. Yeah, it was just a miscommunication. Yeah, yeah. I think it's pretty good that I, you know,

did connect on the astral plane. Yeah, I mean, in itself. In itself. And I also got half the answer right in my fake answer. I'm going to take that as a win. To come away with no points after all that success. Yeah, it's crazy, you know. It's really.

It's a life win rather than in this podcast win. I think there's just so many signs and areas of growth potential for me that I'm so proud of. And the main gift you just gave was a point to the house. So I appreciate that. The house is now on the board. I did it for you. One point to the house. Mish is now on three points. Zach on the board. I did it for you. One point to the house.

Mish is now on three points. Zach on four points. Tightening up. It's tightening up. I'm happy with three. Mish is now happy and I'm now sad. And you're saying that I am as petty as Mish is and I was just lucky that petty Mish came out first.

So if any listenership happens to have dropped off i'm sure they haven't it's a great pod but anyone who may have is just thinking that i'm the piece of shit thank god i lucked out on that first one so i could play i really really mean it when i say all i wanted was to get on the board and i'm there and it's easy for you to say now that you might win. 100%. If you'd said those things at zero, you know. Yeah, absolutely. Are you like me where winning is sort of uncomfortable? No, I like to win. But no, what I don't like is to look like I'm a failure.

Right. So, honestly, I would have been happy with one point. And I mean that. If you had blown us out of the water. But you didn't because I am catching you. And did I not say, you know, I always have an impressive start and then it gets wobbly. I would say that you can't look like a failure on this show for no points.

Saran Jayamana has been on multiple times and I think it was his third episode he got his first point. But he always gets the most laughs and stuff. There's no losers. Yeah. What if we don't get laughs because we're competitive? Yeah. And we don't do that well.

Yeah. Because that's what we're on the record. But also, like, Zach and I do so much together. Like, we do a lot of podcasts together. We jump on trampolines naked with dogs. Dogs and stuff. We do all of it, right? But we're often on podcasts that include like some sort of like game

about who knows who and what questions about you, whatever. And I feel like I often don't want to look like I don't know Zach as well as he knows me because then I look like the shit friend. You know what I mean? So I always want to avoid that and I feel like I have. And I'm happy with that. Yeah. You locking in on Wallop was fantastic.

And Thames. Yeah. Holy shit. He's a Thames boy. I do love an upon with that. Yeah. You locking in on Wallop was fantastic. And Thames. Yeah. Holy shit. He's a Thames boy. I do love an upon Thames. Yeah. Having a pond and a city name is fantastic. I just, I love.

We could be Melbourne upon Yarra. Yeah. Yeah. What a funny thing to do. It's good. We worked it out at Melbourne. We worked it out. We. We worked it out. We stopped listening halfway through you saying where you're from.

I worked it out. All right, we're up to question number five. It's only seven questions, so this is the third last question here. This comes from Rachel Johnson from Melbourne. Hey, Melbourne. Melbourne upon Yarra. Yeah, good. And Rachel's question is,

Pete Conrad was the commander of Apollo 12 and the third person to walk on the moon. What were his first words when stepping out of the lunar module and onto the moon? All his famous first words. I was surprised I'd never heard. I'd never heard of Pete Conrad and I'd never heard of these words. While you're writing your answers,

here's some more information about Netherwallop. It's a small village, but actually once hosted a huge arts festival according to alan burles in 1982 newspaper article written by stephen pile basically to the effect of the edinburgh festival has had its time why not do a festival in nether wallop and there was a village name just plucked out of the ether purely for its quirkiness. The charity entrepreneur who saw the headline was Jane Chuson. She had just set up a venture called Charity Projects and immediately rang Pyle, introduced herself and said, let's do it. The story also goes that the vicar of Netherwallop saw the article and contacted Pyle to say, why not indeed? And he added that if the festival did happen, the church roof needed fixing. It did indeed end up happening and was in a farmer's field and hosted comedy talents,

including Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Billy Connolly, and Rick Mayle. Fucking good lineup. All right, the answers are in for question number five. Pete Conrad was the third person to walk on the moon. What were his first words on the moon? Mama. Mama. Yeah, it's a good answer. the moon what were his first words on the moon mama oh that's good hey i can see my house from here i am a braver man than you alan scott you were wrong when you said I would never make it to the moon.

Today we continue to explore a new world, but this is a victory for our world. Or whoopee, man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me. Oh, is he a funny boy? Is that what I want to know? Because if he was a funny boy, hey, I'm thinking of doing something funny. Because if he was a funny boy, I'm thinking of doing something funny. I just love the idea of him in like a Houston, like,

Hey Houston, I'm thinking of doing something funny. Doing some gimmick. Over. Do we know what year it was? I can tell you, I just read a little book about the moon. Oh,

so you know the answer to this? I know the answer. You've been thinking about the moon. It happened within, it was like, I don't know if it was 70 or 69, but it was within six or so months. You actually know the answer to this question. I literally read this. All right, Zach, you go first.

But no, I read a little book I was telling you on our podcast and you said it was nerdy. Little did you know that we would soon be on a nerdy podcast where my nerdy shit would... But no, I read about all the... I read about from 14 onwards or maybe it was 15, they had a moon rover that unfolded and they had like a little car on the moon.

Everyone talks about Apollo 11 because it was the first one. The cool one is the little car on the moon. I only talk about Apollo 13 because of the movie. There's the movie. Yeah. But then they drove a little car around. That was on, which one was that, 12? I think it was 14, 15, no, maybe 15, 16, 17.

They drove a little car. It went that long. Yeah, it went till, there was going to be more. Right. But then it was really expensive and after 13 they were like, eh. That was close. It's amazing that they didn't die on 13.

Yeah. I'm going to go because I don't know the answer. I'm not a big fucking loser. You're the real winner here. Sorry? Do we want to hear them one more time? Yeah, go ahead. What were you going to say?

I don't know the answer. That means that's how you're meant to come into this game. Zach's the one doing it wrong by knowing. Just so you know, Mitch. It's a rare thing. I think that's worth a point. I didn't know until a week ago. I'm going to go with it's a win for our world.

I'll just go like that one. Can you read them again? Actually, yeah, it's not what I just said. That's not on record. Go on. Hey, I can see my house from up here. I'm a braver man than you. Alan Scott, you were wrong when you said I would never make it to the moon.

Today we continue to explore a new world, but this is a victory for our world. Oh, whoopee, man. That may have been one small step for neil but that's a long one for me can we swear on this podcast you have been um there's two arrogant ones in there uh yes there's two like you said i couldn't but i did and also i'm big brave boy yeah um i'm gonna i'm still gonna go with this a victory for our world. It just sounds like something from a Tom Hanks film. I recognise that Apollo 13 is not about this,

but I'm saying I could imagine Tom Hanks saying that shit in a movie. Yeah, I mean, of course. So I'm basing it off that, but I don't know because I'm not a big fucking geek. Okay. Do you want to, you're going to, when you lock yours in, you're going to reveal to everyone that. I shouldn't have said I knew the answer.

Yeah, in an ideal world. But I thought it would add a sense of dramatic irony. I'm going to send it to you very quietly. Okay, fantastic. Because I want it to be a mystery. Because I'm really hoping that you get it wrong. It was Apollo 12. After talking it up.

Apollo 12. Yes. All right. You were right. Okay. So what I'm going to say to Mish is in this book, every time they landed, they said what their first line was. And I think that your instinct about it being like they wouldn't do a rude,

arrogant one because, and this is my belief, they never said it, they wouldn't have just come up with it on their own. Yeah, that's right. It would have been like worked on. I mean, this is a big media event. It's like they've spent $100 billion on it. That's why I went with the one I said because it sounded like the most premeditated. A committee has helped write it.

Yeah, yeah, totally. All right, let's go through who wrote the answers. Hey, I can see my house from up here. That was Rachel. Okay, the house. I'm a bra house from up here. That was Rachel. Okay, the house. I'm a braver man than you. That was Mish. Alan Scott, you were wrong.

That was the house. That's actually a quote from the Port Adelaide coach after winning the premiership. Alan Scott was the club's major sponsor who wanted him sacked. That's really funny. That's really funny. That's really funny. Today we continue to explore a new world. Mish picked that one.

That was Zach. Fucking hell. Because, Mish, I would do the thing. I'll play with you. And Zach picked the correct answer. Whoopee, man. That may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me. Because he was shorter than Neil Armstrong. Oh, very cool okay but here's the thing this is the reason why i did my

fake answer was because i was like the logic will be the committee thing they're not it's not going to be rude it's going to be a committee thing it's the second time and and i knew that it was a funny answer so i was like i'll go with something really serious but then i was like what i love about the funny answer the well gee whoopee what is it whoopee yeah whoopee that was a small step is that it's still so written by committee yeah it's like we think it would be good to do something funny impersonable yeah it's very funny we've noticed that you're a little bit shorter than the alarm strong perhaps we could play off and it's hard to sell a pre-written whoopee as well. Yeah.

It's not a very natural. Yeah, that's true. And, like, the information that he's a lot shorter than Neil, like, was that, like, a known thing? The reason it jumped out to me, I couldn't tell you what the other ones were because they said each one, but I remember reading that one and being like,

that's an interesting choice. Oh, you went with funny. The story is, which I'll tell the listeners in more detail in a sec but it's basically uh he had a five or this is kind of Rachel he had a five and a roll a bet with a journalist about whether he would be allowed to choose what his first words would be and that was him sort of proving that um by doing a funny one. Oh, there you go. Because you would think, because all the other ones are like the one I wrote. It's like, today we explore the mountains of a new world and like, you know, one small step for bear. That's such, Zach, you're so smart sometimes because that is exactly what I should have done.

And you did it. And I was fooled. An egg on my face for that. When everyone was funny but that one, I can't tell you how happy I was. That was luck. Yeah. That was luck that it was all funny and then just, like, one legit sounding one in the middle.

I was like, oh, thank God. But even if you did go that way, Zach knew the answer, so he wouldn't have guessed yours. Yeah. All right, second last question here. Question number six comes from paul mcnally from waterford in ireland uh to our never has never has someone come from waterford in ireland more than paul mcnally and paul mcnally's question is it's an american question

what happened on august the 31st, 1994 in Clinton Township, Michigan? So something happened that made the news. August the 31st, 1994 in Clinton Township, Michigan. That is an interesting one. While you're writing those answers, I'll give a little bit more information from Rachel. So, yeah, like I said, Pete Conrad had a $500 bet with a journalist about whether or not he'd be allowed to choose his own words. The journalist thought the government would choose

for him. So they agreed upon this phrase, which was a joke about how much shorter than Neil Armstrong he was. It's funny that it was, it was written between him and the journalist and they obviously just picked it off. Yeah. That is wild that they let him do that. Yeah. I would have thought like, it's wild that that was just him being a bit of a goof Yeah Maybe it wasn't Apollo 13 Maybe they were like no more goofing We're not going to the moon anymore

What year was it? 1994 Alright Is this the last question? Second last question All right. Okay. Is this the last question? Second last question. Second last question. Okay.

Question number six. What happened on August the 31st, 1994 in Clinton Township, Michigan? A beauty pageant didn't quite go to plan when three of the contestants started an anti-fur protest in the middle of the show. The inaugural extreme picnicking competition was held on the side of a cliff. There were nine serious injuries, but no deaths. Police pulled over a 17-year-old driver on the suspicion of stolen tires, only to find part of a nuclear reactor in the car.

Oh, my God. The actress Megan Fox was born, or the town formally renamed itself after the incumbent president to replace its original name of Lucifer's Bunghole? Do you know that? That's the house. If the name had been more realistic, I could have gone for that one. That is the hardest. That is the best question with the best answers because I have no idea.

And all of them could be true in a Ripley's Believe It or Not kind of way. Or, like, not all of them are Ripley's Believe It or Not, but. Megan Fox was born on this date. Believe it or not. I mean, she doesn't look a day over 25. It can't be that. Megan Fox is older than 29. Oh, good fast maths.

Is that how old? Sorry? Is that how old 94 is? I shouldn't be that. Megan Fox is older than 29. Oh, good for us, maths. Is that how old? Sorry? Is that how old 94 is? I shouldn't be discussing. Excuse me. I think you should be discussing, like, the entertainment of the audience is more important than me, like, guessing. Okay.

Do you want me to go first? Well, I can go first if you want. I would hate to hear them again. Yeah, go for it. I think I know which one I want to lock in, but go ahead. So you've got a beauty pageant. Didn't quite go to plan when three of the contestants started an anti-fur protest.

The inaugural extreme picnicking competition was held on the side of a cliff. Police pulled over a 17-year-old driver on the suspicion of stolen tyres to find part of a nuclear reactor in the car. The actress, Megan Fox, was born while the town formally renamed itself after the president, changing its original name, Lucifer's Bunghole. Oh, it could be that. I'm going to go with the car.

Car? The nuclear reactor. Locking that in for mish. Did you write that one? You little bastard. No, because I think I know which one you wrote. I'm going to go with either Megan Fox or no, I'll go with the car. Go on the car as well? I'll go the car.

You're playing quite a defensive. I didn't write the car. That's playing quite a defensive strategy there. Yeah, I know you didn't write the car. The only reason I'm going for it is I know Zach didn't, so I'd rather have him not receive a point. This is bitter, bitter, cruel. Which one do you think I wrote?

Maybe the car. Maybe this is a great trick that you're playing on me to get a point ahead, you know. It's a great strategy, but I don't think so. I don't think you'd think to do nuclear reactor. I don't think you're that bright. And it's also it feels it's got a it's got a it's got a delicious little trivia bit it's one of those ones where

even if it's wrong kudos to whoever wrote it because it's like oh yeah that would be news yeah why'd they have part of what yeah but so but so would all of them the only one that didn't make sense to me was the picnicking one which is the one i think you wrote because if it's inaugural why are they doing it if so many people die do you know i think that's a real there's a it's that's one of those ones where i thought it could be that because it's so crazy it's so crazy but it could have been like a rock climbing thing and it was like i loved my whole guinness world records books and ripley's believe or not growing up and things like that are like did you know people have picnics on the side of mountains?

Yeah, that's true. But who knows? I'm going to go with the nuclear reactor. This was my favourite question so far. Great question and great fake answers. Yeah, fantastic. All right, let's go through who wrote the answers. Yeah.

The actress Megan Fox was born. That was Zach. Thank you. And I love how you played it again. Even after Mish had locked in her answer, you said, oh, the ones I'm tossing up between, the Megan Fox one born. That was Zach. Thank you. And I love how you played it again. Even after Mish had locked in her answer, you said, oh, the ones I'm tossing up between, the Megan Fox one. Yeah. Did you see my-

I wanted him to go with that so badly because she's not 29. I was trying to think. I was trying to figure out who was 29. Who was 29? Miley Cyrus maybe? That would have been a better, that would have been a much better- She'd be about 29. But I know her star sign and it's not all-

Sorry. Oh, you've really owned that. a much better... She'd be about 29. But I know her star sign and it's not all good. Oh, you've really owned that. You had to... I may not have won by tricking you, but I did get you to admit you knew. All right, yeah, I guess that is a small win for you. Miley Cyrus born 23rd of November, 92. When is Megan Fox born? Megan Fox is about our age, isn't she? Yes, she would be mid-30s, I reckon. She was in Jackson... When was Megan Fox is about our age, isn't she? Yes, she would be mid 30s, I reckon.

When was Megan Fox born? 86. Yeah, so she's like about two years older than us. Yeah, she's a bit older than us. Yeah, two years older than me. She was just playing a 16-year-old in Transformers. She's an actor! So what have I said so far? That's Megan Fox and we had

the town changing its name from Lucifer's Bunghole. That was Paul, okay, the house. Very good, Paul. Very funny. Then we had the beauty pageant that didn't quite go to plan. That was Mish. The inaugural extreme picnicking competition was also Paul, okay, the house. Oh, Paul.

Meaning you were both correct. Police pulled over a 17-year-old driver on the suspicion. So which one were you? Oh, Megan Fox. Oh, yeah, sorry. That's right. Sorry, the house. Oh, Paul. Meaning you were both correct. Police pulled over a 17-year-old driver on the suspicion. So which one were you? Oh, Megan Fox. Oh, yeah, sorry. That's right. Sorry, my bad. Oh, man.

I'm like, oh, my God, what have I done? So we were correct. You were correct. That's cool news. That's a great little tidbit. And I'll never forget. It was the one I was hoping would be real because it was the one I wanted to know more about. Yeah, it sounds like a pretty wild story.

I'm thinking maybe a little do go on. Yeah. That's a good one. The house has never been flopped like this before. Yes. Quick score update. Going into the final round, the house is on one point. Mish is on four points, but out in front on seven points is Zach.

Very good, Zach. You can get ahead with your triples. But it's triple points in this final round, meaning six points up for grabs. Even the house is still in it. It's truly anyone's game. Yeah, wow. Here we go.

So is this six points both ways? Well, it would be three. Three, three. Yeah, I understand. If you both pick house answers, I go. I don't want you to explain because now I feel like an idiot. I think the question are asked every week. Here you go.

Let's go. All right, so we're up to the final question. This one will be more like a short paragraph, you know, three, four sentences. It's a movie synopsis answer. The question comes from Ryan from LA, appropriately. Wow, that's the movie. That's where they make the movie.

Yeah. That's where they make the movies in La La Land. And Ryan's question is, and I hope you haven't seen it. So we just send you the title of a film? No, I'm going to give you the title. You send me the synopsis. Oh, great. So like a paragraph.

Do you want it to read like the back of a DVD? Yeah, something like that. Yeah. Yeah, like an IMDB synopsis. Yeah, basically, yeah, like an IMDB. Oh, this is excitingDb synopsis. Yeah, basically, yeah, like an IMDb. Oh, this is exciting. Cool. All right.

So, the question from Ryan is, what is the synopsis of the 1982 film Extro? Extro. Extro. X-T-R-O, Extro. Extro. Okay. And while your answers are being written, here's some more information about the nuclear boy. And here's some more information about the nuclear boy.

According to Arts Technica, David Charles Hahn attempted to build a homemade breeder nuclear reactor for a Boy Scout project in his mum's Michigan backyard shed. Amazing. Isn't that amazing? Oh, my God. Posing as a physics teacher, David managed to engage the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Agency's Director of Isotope Production and Distribution, Donald Erb, So he's doing all of this just posing as a teacher. that would soon prove to be vital to David's plans, which was nothing produces neutrons as well as beryllium.

So he's doing all of this just posing as a teacher. He's sent a letter to this high up NRC, Nuclear Regulatory Commission guy, saying, I'm a teacher. Can you give us some more information for my kids? And he just used this to make a nuclear reactor. Amazing. As a teenager. That's so funny and so full And like brilliant

Yeah Like what a talented young man But stupid Yes How can you be so smart and so stupid Yeah isn't that wild Oh that's so good So when David asked Herb about the risks posed by such radioactive materials

The NRC official assured Professor Hahn as he was known to him That the real dangers are very slight since possession of any radioactive materials in quantities and forms sufficient to pose any hazard is subject to nuclear regulatory commission or equivalent licensing so he's like you know if you're getting you couldn't get all that stuff without going through the right channels this is so good the nrc gave me all the information i needed he later recalled all i had to do was go out and get the materials hans efforts were eventually halted after someone called the clinton township police on august the 31st 1994 when he had been stopped on suspicion

of stealing tires authorities soon searched his car han warned them that there was radioactive materials in the vehicle and authorities proceeded to call in other agencies including the department of energy the environmental protection agency the nrc and the fbi according to paul while david hahn didn't manage to make a full-blown nuclear reactor however he made his garden shed so radioactive that it was classed as a super fun cleanup site this placed it in the same league as Three Mile Island. And it took like over a year to clean it up, apparently. It was so, his mum's shed. That's so funny.

Yeah, wild tale. All right, the answers are in. Here's our final question. Triple points, truly anyone's game. And the question is, what is the synopsis of the 1982 film Extra? Gene Dover, a humble movie extra, is mistaken for an action star during a chaotic film shoot. A notorious terrorist organization mistakes him for a spy who possesses vital information. As events unfold, Gene must rise to the occasion, unleashing his unexpected skills to thwart the plot and save New York City from imminent destruction.

That's option one. Option two. When New York Police Department officer Donovan Extra is unfairly accused of a crime he didn't commit, he must go into hiding while also trying to uncover the real killer. In the process, he uncovers a worldwide conspiracy to manufacture a virus that will lead to an army of killer monkeys while trying to clear his name he must also take on the government his former partner and a killer gorilla with a taste for blood option three an alien creature impregnates a woman who gives birth to a man who was abducted by aliens three years ago the man reconnects with his wife and son for a sinister purpose

that's option four all of these could be 1982 option four donald avery played by arthur re, and his brother Frank Avery, played by Paul Anka, own a turkey farm outside of Utah. When Frank suggests they use an experimental drug, Extro, to increase reproduction in their female turkeys, Arthur refuses, labelling it a dangerous and immoral practice. Frank, ignoring his brother's wishes, feeds their stock with Extro.

What follows is a horrific and frightening series of events as the turkeys seek revenge on the avery brothers well finally in a twisted experiment an unethical scientist named fred donkin splices his dead friend's dna with that of a pig creating a grotesque humanoid creature as the pig man falls for the scientist's wife, jealousy consumes Duncan, leading him to ruthlessly slaughter all the neighbourhood pigs. Driven by an insatiable thirst for vengeance,

the pig man embarks on a blood-soaked rampage, seeking retribution against the scientist and anyone who stands in his way. Oh. You've got a rampaging gorilla, turkeys and pig. Okay. Instinctually, my instinct is telling me to go the alien one. Like, that's just my instinct.

But also, that is very Zach Ruane. The impregnating, yeah. I'm going to go the alien one. I would like to, like, that was just, because they're all so good. Yeah. What was the second one? I'm green lighting all the alien one. I would like to, like, that was just like, because they're all so good. Yeah. What was the second one? I'm greenlighting all these films. Yeah.

Honestly, when you said, like, you pick up a VHS, I can see all of these. Totally. They've all got early 80s energy. What was the second one? Second one, when NYPD officer Donovan Extro is unfairly accused of a crime he didn't commit, he must go into hiding while also trying to uncover the real killer. I think that one could be you too, Zach. And then the alien was the third one. Third one, yep. And the first one was the extra. The first one was the extra. And then the fourth one then. The fourth one was about the

Avery brothers who used the extra drug on female turkeys. Wait, then what was the fifth one? The fifth one was another unethical scientist, Fred Duncan, who splices his dead friend's DNA with that of a pig. Oh, God. Now I'm not sure. No, I mean, like, it's too hard. I'm just going to lock in the alien one.

It's alien or it's turkey. It's alien or it's turkey. I think it's the first one, the extra one, the terrorist plot. Feel extra is action-y or it's Alien. Oh, this is tough. This is tough. The thing is as well, you have to understand that Zach and I both have a passion for like 80s and 90s thrillers.

So this is very exciting for us. I have no idea which one you did. I think you're the police one. I do think that Zach wrote the police one. I'm fairly confident. The killer gorilla. Yes. I think that it's possible that you wrote that one.

Thank you. That's very kind. Or Duncan. Who's Duncan? Duncan. Okay, well, then maybe not Duncan because you don't know or don't remember him. Fred Duncan.

He's an unethical scientist. The pig one. The pig one. Pig one. I can see the pig one. Maybe you wrote the turkey. Did you write the turkey one? Oh, no.

Okay. Okay. I'm going to go with, I'm tossing up between the alien now and the first one, the extra. Extra? Extra. It feels too right. It feels too close.

I would go with that one if not for the extra thing. Right. So, I think I'm going to go the alien one as well. Extra. Extra terrestrial. Extra terrestrial. Yeah, that's what I got from it. That a man being born, that's cool.

Impregnating a woman who, yeah. Unless you're playing me, because that would win it for you. You play me, you just jump in. But no, I'm going to go the alien one. All right, let's go through. I know, yep. I know that Zach didn't write the alien one now though. So I'm in with a shot.

But the problem is if you're right, then he's also right and you don't make up any real ground. So it's actually quite a negative way for Zach to play this game. Yes. And most players would probably feel shame to play it that way. He wouldn't. But I thought that Mish, I truly thought that Mish could have played me. I truly think.

Do you have an instinct as to which one I wrote? No, and I think there's a part of me that goes, so here's what I'll say. I went to write a sci-fi one, like an alien one, and I was like, no, no, no, because that's too obvious that it's me because I'm watching a lot of sci-fi. Right. So then I changed what I wrote. But it wouldn't surprise me if Mish wrote a sci-fi one

in an attempt to get me and then guessed it. But that's too brilliant. To guess the wrong one just in the hope of it's a risk, who knows? I love the mystery. I'm trying to create some drama here. Yeah, I love this. All right, well, let's go through who wrote the answers. The Fred Duncan one about the pig man, that was Ryan, a.k.a. The House. Good job, Ryan.

Ryan, really good. That was very funny. There's a lot of movies like that you think like a zach and a mission we like that i really could see that movie existing yeah like a real trauma kind of thing so good that's real fun uh then we had the avery brothers who uh made turkeys angry that was mish turkeys angry turkeys was Mish. Turkeys. Angry turkeys. Isn't that funny? That's funny. Thanks. That's good. The one about the NYPD officer who

went to an army of killer monkeys and a killer gorilla as well. Killer gorilla. That was Zach. Of course it was. It wasn't the monkey thing. It was the police officer thing. What about the police? I was like you would write about a cop in the 80s. I just that you would it's very copy yeah yeah that's good that's good i thought the monkey thing i was like i want it to feel wrong i want it to feel like those two

things don't go together that doesn't make sense as a film yeah so that means zach you're right it was either the first one or the alien one. The first one being about Gene Dover, the Humble Movie Extra. That's what I kind of, that's what I, if I was a better writer, I would have done. Also set in New York City as well. That was written by Ryan. Okay, the house, meaning you were both correct.

It was about an alien creature impregnating a woman. Ryan, you're all fucking cooked, cooked mate do you know what made me guess the alien one it was because the alien creature impregnates the woman and then the child is a man that was abducted by aliens yes that's so fucking cool yeah that's so no one could come up with that for a blurb right that's a thing that comes up while you're developing a movie that's exactly why i picked it i was just like that is the movie comes up with that yeah no no no do you want to quickly while we're here watch the the preview thing oh more than anything i watched the last night it is i don't know it's something You've got to put your date of birth in IMDb to play it. That's how good it is.

Oh, wow. This might be on Tubi. This is very Tubi. Yeah. It could well be. Tony's father has been away a long time. Oh, my God. Now he's coming home.

Extro has returned. That's exactly how I saw the title was written. Once a man, he is now something more than human. Indestructible, ever-changing, evil. His mission, to avenge, to possess, to destroy. Why did you come back? I came back for you. Oh, my God. Joe!

Extra. Bearing powers of black magic from deep space. If you think hard about something, you can make it happen. I feel like I should be commenting on this I feel like I should be filming your faces Look at your photo Use it when you need it I've never seen a trailer in my entire life that tells me less. Extra.

Some extraterrestrials aren't friendly. From New Line Cinema. Rated R. The tagline! Some extraterrestrials, they're not that friendly. That must have been peak E.T. time or something. Yeah, yeah. He's doing good with the extra.

That movie looks fucking cool. Yeah, that's cool. It looks wild. It looks like set piece first, plot second. Yeah, yeah. Who, I want to pull it up, who directed it? Oh, my God, there's an extra two. Oh, wow.

Yeah, extra two, the second encounter. It was written and directed by Harry Bromley Davenport. Yeah. God, look at his profile. That does look like a man that wouldomley Davenport. Yeah. God, look at his profile. That does look like a man that would make that film. Wow. Yeah. What a dude.

I love Extra. Sign me up. And it hasn't had the best reviews. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes have given it 40% and audience 36%. So one of those rare times they've seen eye to eye. Roger Ebert hated it. Yeah. He gave it one star saying,

X-Show is an ugly, mean-spirited and despairing thriller that left me thoroughly depressed. Why was this movie made? Wow. What vision filled the filmmakers with a desire to share this work with an audience? Amazing. It looks repulsive.

There's stuff in it that looks repulsive, and I'm all for, like, repulsive horror. You can watch it on Amazon Prime. But it looks,ulsive there's stuff in it that looks repulsive and I'm all for like repulsive horror you can watch it on Amazon Prime but it looks yeah it's less it's high

it's a bigger film that I I'm so intrigued the trailer tells shows me everything and tells me nothing yeah what is the story

like I don't know the story there's a lot of imagery and I'm like how does this work they seem like they're from different universes some of the horrific I don't know the story. There's a lot of imagery. I'm like, how does this work? They seem like they're from different universes, some of the horrific things. The melting phone?

That was flogged. The jaguar? Yeah, what was that? No, it feels like that might have been one of those things where they, we can get a jaguar for the day if we want it. Yeah, I'll ride it in. Or like, do you really need the jaguar? It's really hard.

There's another reviewer, Dustin Putman, who gave it three out of four. He quite liked it saying, extra may be morbid, unsettling and even upsetting. It pushes upon boundaries and then crosses them, but it's a bona fide original of the genre. Wow. Wow, okay. I really want to watch extra now.

I don't. Nah, nah, that was nah. It looks full on. Very full on. I don't want to watch Extra now? I don't. Nah, that was nah. It looks full on. Very full on. I don't want to watch it. I want to play this game, though, for the rest of my life, every hour. I loved this. This has been such a fun time.

This has been such a treat. Well, you should come back any time. I'll give you a quick score update. We don't need to do that. Yeah, no, we should. I don't think we need to. I think what we've done here is established we all had a good time and that's really the week. Honestly, Mish,

on many other weeks you would have had a winning score. This is actually the lowest ever score for the house. One point. Hey! Mish and Zach for the win. You didn't fall for any of the house's bullshit this week. In second place on seven points, a very good score is Mish, but pipping

her right at the end on 10 points, Zachary Ruane. Thank you so much. Well done, Zach. This is such a thrill. Where can people find you before we head off? Well, you joined us this week, hopefully, if we can sync up the releases. You joined us this week on our podcast, Mission Zach's Leguizamarama,

where we are watching every single film, game, TV show, everything. And ad. Ad. Starring our favourite character actor, John Leguizamo. If you don't know who he is, look him up. You'll go, oh, and then you'll want to listen to our podcast. Really, it's just an excuse for chats. Yeah, we just like to have chats once a week.

It's nice. It's so hard to catch up with friends nowadays. So we just started a podcast. You can find us at Instagram, at MissionZak as well, which has all our podcast info. So good. Also, we just did an appearance on a podcast called Who Is What You're Doing, Matt Stewart.

Hey, what's the answer, Matt Smancer? I'm sorry to break it to you, but you've got a rival in the business. Oh, my God. And you've also got a show out on the Grouse House channel at the moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's a horrible, cruel show, but we have a series. cruel show but we we have a uh we have a series i'm we're both a part of a series uh called the most upsetting guessing game in the world and essentially we've taken a a guessing game from um whose line is it anyway which is a fun little improv game and we've made it shit and hard

so what is meant to be a five minute improv game turns into a 40 minute. Where they just break their friends. Friends just being really upset because it's so hard to guess. And it's really, it's truly awful to watch. But luckily people have been enjoying it. It's funny as well. Yeah. Yeah.

I was worried it would just be bad, but it's funny and bad. Evan Munro-Smith's been working hard on the edits in the studio across from us here and he's, yeah, he's cutting out a lot of the stuff that just would be too awful to watch, I guess. So, yeah, we're doing that. And I also, last little thing, I also do screenings some months, second Friday of every month

at the Lido Cinema. Sometimes Mish joins me. Sometimes I do it on my own. Ooh, Extra could be a candidate. Extra, like genuinely. It might be a bit too full on from the looks of it. But, yeah, it's called the Funtime Film Club. So it's just fun movies, just fun films.

Snakes on a Plane is like perfect. Snakes on a Plane is perfect. I'm doing, I don't know if this will be out before it, but I'm doing Wes Craven's New Nightmare in a few weeks. So good. It's like Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street series comes into the real world. The actors and Wes Craven is a character in it.

They're like, where did you get the idea? And he's like, he came to me in a dream. And it turns out it's phenomenal. I've never heard of it. It's going to be a real treat. Brilliant. Well, thanks so much for joining us. Thanks so much for having us.

That was so much fun. Thanks to everyone for listening. Please give us a five star review if you want to or either way and tell your friends if you think you know anyone who might enjoy it. Cheers for tuning in to Who Knew With Matt Stewart. Now that you know it, I've been Matt Stewart. Goodbye. I love that coat, Mish.

Oh, thank you. It's fantastic. I wish, I was going to say I wish I had a coat, but I do. This is the coat club. I see it. Come on, check on the coat, mate. The coat club. Mine's a cardi, though.

Oh, that'll be noisy, though. That'll be noisy on the microphone. It's quite a rustly coat. Yeah. If I'd known it was rustly, I'd have a bit of courage there. Yeah, you wouldn't have a suggestive. Oh, I think I just blocked you. Jeez, mate. Hard to get. Oh, no, I made it you. Jeez, man, hard to get.

Oh, no, I made it end-to-end encrypted so Mish doesn't hack us. Yeah, great. Damn it! Then we must be friends. Oh, no, it says you're not friends with Matt Stewart. Let me... I'm going to change that. I'm ready.

Jesus. People used to have two or three friends. Now with Facebook, people that used to be your acquaintances are friends. Yeah, right. As if people have a thousand friends. That's my new bit is I do biting social commentary that's 15 years. Yeah, right. Yeah, right.

I know one person that has a thousand friends on facebook yeah right yeah right uh sure thing good to go i've already pressed that yeah did something just happen no something i heard something felt like you disappeared for a second yeah oh and then i might oh No, it really sparked on there. Wow. Jeez. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. No, I think that's all right.

It's the kind of- I'd love to- I don't know what I would do to figure that out. I'd be interested to listen back and maybe it would be so interesting if you're listening back to edit or whatever and you hear it and it's actually just someone being like, help me. If you turn it up, it's like. That's scary.

That's a good horror idea. Yeah. You can't use that just because we did it on your thing. You can have 10%. It doesn't make you own it. You're a good negotiator. You've given up 10%. I don't think I have any right to 10%.

You got 10%. Okay. That's so scary. I love that as a horror idea. Like playing it back, like playing it back louder. It's not an original concept. It happens in so many films. Yeah, I love it.

It's a real good like- In something like it's a core plot point of something. I thought you meant like the idea of a horror movie about a podcast host who's recording an episode and listens back and like realises there's a ghost in the podcast studio and that's an awful idea for a film. I was thinking radio. Oh, yeah. Radio.

That's cool. That's cool. Like Frasier. Like a midnight. Yeah, but like a horror episode of Frasier. Oh, my God. Horror Frasier. The Graveyard Shift.

It's called The Graveyard Shift and it's about a guy that comes in and he's in the radio station on his own every night. And then he starts, weird stuff starts happening. And then he notices there's sounds inside the recordings of his episodes. I think this would be great. That's great, actually. Yeah. He's always on the radio station.

Should we just scrap our fresh blood idea and go with this? Hey, fuck you. We're off to Ronald Carmel. You're right. You're warming up nicely. The last question's always a movie plot synopsis. Oh, great. So I feel like you're going a movie plot synopsis. Oh, great. So I feel like you're going to be quite good at this.

Yeah, great. I really like that radio horror. I'm going to, like, write that down or something. It's called I'm Listening. Oh, that's fine. That's good. That's where I get my 10% from. Yes.

It's gold. I think you should call your next show Willimination or something. Yeah, okay. Willimination. That's a funny thing, to do a Will pun as your title. That is very funny. And then that's the story inside the show. Yeah.

That's very funny. I think that's great. That's actually very good. I will genuinely consider that. So the listeners send in the questions. So, yeah, the questions are all written by listeners slash Patreon supporters. Oh, amazing.

You met on our podcast, Leguizamo, which you did a little appearance on this week. We just recorded. What a fun time that was. Yeah. Leguizamos, which is our rating system on the John Leguizamo film. A fan came up with Leguizamos. All the best bits.

Yeah, it's the great thing about podcasts is you can like, you can sort of crowdsource your best jokes. Crowdsourcing your content. So, yes. I'm pretty sure a listener came up with the line, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I think that was a listener. So, a listener came up with the line, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I think that was a listener. So your listener came up with your podcast concept.

Well, this concept was there and then they just, I'm like, how do I explain this? Next you'll tell me a listener came up with who knew it. Oh, the other thing I should say is I edit this, so there'll be silences. Okay. So feel free if you need more time or whatever. I've never panicked.

So that silence was something I'm like, what am I going to do? And there was a part of me that was just like, what is he doing? He does podcasts professionally for a living and he's just not talking. I was like, do I have to save this? Is that the expectation? Do you only play with funny people? Because you should get like, I reckon dads would play this game really badly and it would be funny.

I've had the idea of doing it with the Do Go On co-hosts' dads. Yeah. Yeah, that kind of thing would be cool. So my dad, Dave Warnocki's dad and Jess Perkins' dad. Yeah, because I think there's just a certain creative spark in a game like this that you need. So something about a dad would be like, oh, you know, just, you know, that. Based off, when you said 19th century, what that automatically made me think of.

Yeah, that was when they first invented the. I remember playing a version of this game years ago with the family and dad's every answer for dad included the Amish. He just got on this run. Dads get on things with this game. He'd drink a red wine and just go on. It's utensil the Amish. It was a cloth jacket, an Amish jacket.

My dad was always a time and a thing. He would go a type of hammer from the 19th century, a type of thing from the then, a type of thing from the then. And once you found his rhythm, you're like, great, I can discount that. I did a podcast recently in the US. There's probably a few listeners that are fans of it, but where we read through an old newspaper and news in like the 1800s is so funny.

It was like, this fellow did upon the merry hour. You probably do a bit of, in your research with Do Go On, hit this sometimes. This fellow upon the merry hour did bop his head and die. What a peculiar incident. The man responsible will be put to death. That's the tone of everything. You're like, I don't know if they were just weirder then

or if it was how they worded things. Like everything should end with a cheerio. And I think it was almost like death was way more normal back then to come early. Everyone died. And no one knows why they died. And no one dies of old age. It's always just like they're dying of something fucked

in their early 30s. You're just like 50% of people died young and for reasons that they couldn't quite ascertain. Yeah. He died. He just went. All right, so the answer in for question number two, what did Irish politician Gerry Adams reveal about himself

in a 2015 interview? Oh, yeah, that'll do. Fuck. I've changed the writing of the question and confused interview. Oh, yeah, that'll do. Fuck. I've changed the writing of the question and confused me. That's fine, man. So the answer in for question number two, what did Irish politician Jerry Adams reveal about himself in a 2015 interview?

I'm just going to read the answer. Fuck. Man, in the edits I really hate myself because. This is great fun, Matt. I'm glad. You just don't get to play games like this as adults so much anymore. Yeah, that's right. You know what I mean?

Yeah. I think I'd love to do this more in life. I'd like to take this idea and just do it on a podcast not here. You know what I mean? Let's just do this podcast. I've seen that tweet. There's a tweet where a tech bro was like, has anyone thought about IRL podcast?

No microphones or recording. You just get together and talk about ideas and concepts that matter to you. And someone retweeted it and was like, tech bro discovers hanging out. That's so good. I saw one similar to that last night. It was an English, maybe like a sports commentator or something, and he's talking about going to Spain for four days over a weekend and he's saying, I'm going to not think about work.

I'm having what I'm calling a mini retirement. And then I'll be refreshed. And then in a few more months, I'll go away for another four, maybe five days and have another mini retirement. And someone's retweeted like, he's just discovered holidays. It's a long weekend, right? Mini retirement. Oh, man.

That's so good okay your answers are in so here uh oh fuck i forgot to put your answers in jesus christ all right man i'm losing it you've done a lot of podcasts today this is your yes number three i think the third one is normally where i start losing this is our podcast number three as well. We did two missions acts this morning. Have you done three today? Yeah. This is three people that have done three podcasts. So collectively

in this room is the energy of nine podcasts. In a really cold room as well. So you've all become like not so cold that you shake, but we've all become super frigid. Yeah, that's true. I'm thinking about this moon thing. I'm thinking about this.

Hmm. Oh, fuck. All right. oh fuck all right thinking about this moon thing thinking about this moon thing it's really hard to write an answer and be charming and funny and i'm so glad you told me the edit was yeah you're not not at all meant to this is really um that piece of information that this is edited is so valuable because i was like that my pressure was not to get an answer in. It was to get an answer in while being ready to be funny. Do you know The Fast and the Furious was originally a Roger Corman film from like the 1950s and the cars weren't that fast.

Cars weren't that fast in the 1950s and the cars weren't that fast. Cars weren't that fast in the 1950s. But it was just about like a race and like a criminal racing. Had nothing to do with the 2000s film. They just bought the title. So some people think it's a remake, but it's not. It's like they just were making this completely different movie and then they loved the title, The Fast and the Furious, so they bought it off Roger Cormanman wow how cool is that it's just the title removed

because it's such a good title it is a great title on it probably would have had a bit to do with the initial success probably yeah yeah it's it's worth it it's like but i love that idea that it's not a remake they're just like want that title that sort of happened with the Ghostbusters as well, right? There was already a weird English show or something with a gorilla and stuff. Called Ghostbusters. Called the Ghostbusters. And when the Bill Murray movie got made, they toyed with a different name, but they just were locked into this

so they had to pay for the rights to the name, even though the movie wasn't at all connected. That's like Disney Snakes on a Plane. That was a working title. Yeah, yeah. And they were, because the movie was a lot more serious and then they were like, well, we'll eventually call it like Flight 72 or something.

And then I think it was. Wasn't Snakes on a Plane like a movie that was partially written by fans? Well, because what happened was, so it was called Snakes on a Plane. He's getting a free little mini-do-go on right now. I also, I've been starting to chop out little interesting bits or funny bits that don't quite make sense in the game and putting them as like a, I think last episode had like 10 minutes at the end of just sort of like outtakes

that were kind of fun well this is full outtake yeah but i will just say it i will just uh get it out was that um what was i talking about snakes on a plane snakes on a plane they it was a working title they were like and we'll think of something less silly because it's a silly name and then they were going to give it something else and then samuel l jackson i think was like no i did this movie because it's called snakes on a plane that's a funny title like keep that title it was right and then they kept the title and then fans online got so obsessed with the title they're like that's such a funny movie that they there were memes and stuff and one of the memes was um I think I can't remember the exact line but I gotta get we to get these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane.

And people kept posting that meme. And then it was such a big thing and people were so excited about the movie and were like, this movie is going to be really funny, that the studio was like, shit, we didn't make a funny movie. So they did reshoots to make the movie funnier, the movie funnier, and they put the motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane into the movie funnier and they put the motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane into the movie. I believe there was like parts of the film where they put it

to the audience or to those fans going, which would you prefer to see? Would you like to see this or that? And whatever was voted was what they ended up ultimately filming and putting in the film. So there are parts of that film that was solely, which is why it's such a cooked film. I love that movie. I haven't seen it.

I need to watch it. Oh, my God. That's a good one for your screening. Oh, yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah, I'll come watch it then. Yeah, come watch it. Can we do that one together?

Sure. At Lido's, are we doing? My Lido. Yeah. Sick. Making plans, going to go to the wrestling, go see Snakes on a Plane. Oh, we're going to have a lovely evening together. Yeah, going to go to the wrestling, go see Snakes on a Plane. Oh, we're going to have a lovely evening together.

We'll go to the monster trucks. I'm just really genuinely enjoying myself. Yeah, I'm having a really good time. Sorry we're taking so long. No, I love it.
