We had a great run at the Chinese Museum, selling out shows by the end, but now we need you to come over to the Grace Darling and shows are at 7.15. It's going to be so much fun. Love to see you there. Let's have a beer. Use discount code do go on the show's called dry dry at the melbourne international comedy festival then we're going to sydney and brisbane tickets to all that stuff's on sale now and you can find those tickets and details at mattstuartcomedy.com welcome to who knew with matt stewart the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart and our first guest is from Miss Moses Comedy. It's Rae Wynn Pickering. Oh, hello. Thank you.

Hi, Rae Wynn. Thanks, Sam. Hello, Rae Wynn. Fuck you. It's true. Sorry. Our second guest this week is from the Two and the Think Tank podcast. It's Alistair Tremblay-Birchall.

G'day, hey al hi mates your catchphrase in the podcast hey mates g'day mates comedy and our third guest this week is from my arsehole it's ben russell it's great to be out of your arsehole it is damp and wet and it's nice to sort of be in a room that is not like it's got a good amount of people in it because there are a lot of people up there.

Oh right, is that crowded? It's so crowded. That's not the worst Airbnb review I've had. That was really good. Are you going to be on any shows at any time? No. You're more of an ad man on any shows at any time? No.

You're more of an ad man these days, aren't you? No, I'm not doing ads. Because you're a brand ambassador for... Oh, really? Yeah, I've stopped. Decided. Yeah. Because you're on every second ad at the moment.

Not at the moment, no. Okay. Because he stopped. But there was a time that I was overexposed. But I did have money. So that's the takeaway. But I'm trying to not have such a low price, you know? Like I don't want to just do ads.

Yeah, kind of. Oh, wow. Look at you. Anyway, the way this 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. I have to guess which one is correct. Okay, read their answers as well as the real one. I have to guess which one is correct. Okay, are we ready to play?

I am ready. Yep. The first question comes from three listeners, three different listeners separately submitted this question. Get an original idea. Or get a room, you three. Yeah. Have a threesome.

Suck and fuck. Yeah. Suck and fuck. And? We need one more. Oh, and ejaculate. Oh, okay. And kiss.

And then kiss, yeah. Okay, we'll use Ben's one, I think. So this one comes from Betsy from California, Michael Nielsen from Signet in Tasmania, and Rachel Rook from Sydney. How could three people so far away from each other have the same idea? It's like the inventors of the telephone. And their question.

Alexander Graham Bell? Yeah, and then the other guy who came up with it as well at the same time. Who was the other dude? I don't know his name because we ignore him. Yeah, right. Yeah. Nikola Tesla. Oh, snort.

Snorted. Who did that? I'm not not claiming it but it was me and i have wake apnea uh so their question is what does borborygmus mean what does borborygmus mean and while they're writing their answers i'll explain how the scoring works you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestants and another point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestants. And another point if you correctly guessed the answer. By the way, I'm also playing as the house. And I've put in two of my own fake answers for each question. With the help of the question writers. And I get a point for each one of those that our guests choose.

So each of us can score up to three points per round. It seems fair. But the probability actually favors me. The house. And the house always wins. So if you've listened to previous episodes, you'll know this is really the case. Anyway, our questions come from our great Patreon supporters, and if you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com slash do go on pod, which is linked in the

show notes. All right, the answer for question number one, what does Borborygmus mean? The tracks that insect larvae chew into tree bark, rotund to the point of appearing to burst, being bored at the pygmy hippopotamus enclosure at the zoo, gurgling sounds made by a stomach and intestines, the stiffening of a boil into a hardened sub-epidermal sphere, which can become as hard as a billiard ball, or a medical condition where your small intestine melts in your large intestine, causing severe gas expulsion and one intestine to rule them all.

Can you do the first one again? First one, the tracks that insect larvae. It's not going to be that one. The tracks that insect larvae. Larvae? Yep. Chew into. Is it a?

A. I would say. A. You can say larvae. You can say larva. Larvae. Larvae. All right. A. I would say. A. Larvae. You can say larvae. You can say larva. Larvae. Larvae. All right.

Yeah. Well, it's one of them and the tracks that they chew into the tree bar. What's the difference between antennae and antenna? I think it's one. Singular. Yeah, singular. Or plural. Okay.

Right? Yep. I think so. You're an animal. For new. Because you've been on before and always talk about how you're an animal expert. Is that how you know this? Your words.

What is it? Do you call the horns on a goat, for instance, are they antenna? No. But do they function as they are? See, that's what I mean. You knew that straight away. This is the kind of expert advice you're after. At what point do antlers stop, you know, to horns being antlers?

Well, they're actually quite different. Because they've got velvet on them yeah uh antlers um they're i'm pretty sure there's no bone i'm actually not too familiar with antlers but i know that you should get familiar with they drop off they drop off horns don't so horns have a bone in them and nerve endings but i believe antlers don't that's how they can shed do they like to have their their horns scratched do you think I believe antlers don't. That's how they can shed. Do they like to have their horns scratched? Do you think they like that? I don't think they feel it. Because I've actually, yeah, nerve endings to a certain point,

but you can actually, I use a wire saw if we need to cut them, and they don't feel anything. So I don't think a little scratch would. Yeah, at its core, it will have nerve endings and blood vessels. Yeah, but you can saw off the tip if it's like getting dangerous work sometimes it can go like it curls back into their heads into their eye and stuff like that yeah be to get to get horned by your own to get i've yeah slowly yeah it just happened you can see it coming yeah it's like oh it's almost there it's happening in like geological time yeah

like a World War 2 POW that's right you keep seeing it happening is that what you mean yeah like PTSD like real life PTSD

but it's really there yeah not a hallucination like I'm there I guess it would be like how Neo sees a bullet come towards him yeah

but he can sort of dodge but unless you know you can't dodge your own head yeah that's why you see them prancing around trying to dodge is that what that is bullet come towards him. Yeah. But he can sort of dodge. But unless, you know, you can't dodge your own head. Yeah. That's why you see them prancing around. Trying to dodge. Is that what that is?

Yeah. All right. Any thoughts here? So we've got the insect larvae tracks. Larvae. That's a hard word. Rotund to the point of appearing to burst. Being bored at the hippos.

Gurgling sounds made by your stomach, stiffening of a boil in a hardened sub-epidermal sphere, or when your small intestine melts in your large intestine. Well, the melting one to me was too funny. Yeah. You know? Too funny to be true. Laugh never is that funny.

Life is not funny. Very dry. Often it's funny because it's not true. That's what I've found. So what you're therefore trying to find out is which is the least funny. Which is the least funny. And just one of us wrote it. Thanks. Okay.

Oh, there are some pretty dull ones here. I'm going to go the gurgle. Gurgle? That is kind of funny though. It is kind of funny. Gurgling as a word is very funny. Yeah. I think that's undeniable.

Yeah. But I attribute the funniness to the word gurgle rather than to the actual. Yeah. A lot of writing is word choice, though, Al. Yeah. Oh, that's true. But then it's the writing that's funny rather than the actual. Okay.

You're splitting hairs there, but I like that. What do you think, Ben? Yeah, I'm probably going to go gurgle as well. Blocking in gurgle. What is it, the gurgle? Gurgling sounds made by your stomach and intestines. Yeah. Yep.

What about you, Rae, one? I think it might be the insect one. Insect one? That they bore. Don't reckon that's true. Although famously you said. It's not going to be that one but I was just messing around I think you're making a big mistake

go the gurgle I reckon go the gurgle or I'm going to go the insects let's all prosper together I say yeah let's show this fucking if you fall down I'm not coming with you no that's fine alright let's go through the answers

medical condition where your small intestine melts in your large intestine. That was Raywin Pickering. Thank you. I appreciate you saying that. It's funny. Thank you. The stiffening of a boil in a hardened sub-epidermal sphere. That was Alistair Trombeau-Birchall.

Being bored by the hippos at the zoo. That was kind of a, that was the house, but it was a mix of Michael, Betsy and Rachel's fake answers. I put them all into one. Borborygmus mass yeah it became quite borborygmus yeah uh the other one by the house was written by betsy which was the tracks that insect larvae chew in a tree bark told you damn we tried to warn you didn't we rotund to the point of appearing to burst was Ben. Meaning the correct answer is gurgling sounds made by the stomach and intestines. It was interesting because you wrote about intestines.

I know. And Ben, you wrote about stomach pain. But I feel like you're all on the right track. Yeah. It just felt like the kind of thing like, you know, kind of like when people learn the name of like the end of the plastic bit at the end of your shoelaces.

Yes. And it's like one of those things where nobody knows the name of it but then suddenly a bunch of people knew it feels like that's what the girl's a word of can i can i confess something yeah i knew oh oh very good fuck yeah do you think it's an because you suffer from it or no because i have an excellent vocabulary interesting is it an onomatopoeia is the thing that's what it is like bogogalugmus oh I think that

yeah I think that is yeah definitely part of it sure it definitely has a great onomatopoeia type vibe yeah

because gorgorugmus then that would be better that'd be closer yeah gorgorugmus like that yeah well I mean is it a B or a G

depends on what you eat should let them know B or a G depends on what you eat yeah a lot of the time. A B or a G depends on what you eat? Yeah. A lot of the time it gurgles because you haven't eaten though. Sometimes it gurgles because you've eaten too much. Does it?

Explain that. Too much for you. Last night, when I was putting this quiz together last night, I just ate, we'd just gone to that show. Yeah. Got home at like 12.30, made too much pasta. Yeah. Ate it real quick.

Yeah. Sat on the couch to start writing the quiz. And we're quite bog, bog, bog. And I was, my stomach was bog, bog, bog making its ass off.

And then that question came, I'm like, well, this is, I mean, this is bloody, what's going on here? Have I, have I bloody

manifested this? Yeah, that's what it felt like. Do you think your gut has more power to manifest than your mouth? Aren't they saying now that gut health is related to your brain and mental health? Isn't it the vagus nerve that travels all the way up or some shit? I don't fucking know. What happens in the vagus nerve stays in the vagus nerve. Hey, am I right?

Hey. Here's question number two. This one comes from Kayla Hodquits from Maine in the United States of America, which is where you're from, Ben. I'm not from Maine, though. Whereabouts in Maine? Doesn't say. I've been to Portland, Maine.

Oh. Beautiful. It's like right up in the northeastern tip, right? Is it around like, do they call it, you know, New England? Yeah, New England. I don't know anything about Maine. That's what it is. Yeah, New England. I don't know anything about Maine. That's like Boston and all that's like that. Like Massachusetts and that is New England.

Yeah, right. Okay, I get confused about that. But it goes over a few boundaries. While you're writing your answer, I'll find that out. But no, Maine and also Hawkeye Pierce. Hawkeye. From MASH is from Maine. Really?

And aren't all of Stephen King's books are set in Maine? Maine. Am I right in saying that? I don't know, but Maine. So here's Caleb's question. How did the Greek Stoic philosopher Chrysippus die? How did the Stoic Greek philosopher Chrysippus die? New England is a region comprising six states in the northeastern of the US.

Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and yes, Ben, Maine. Oh, before we go on to question two, this is about Borborygmus. Michael wrote, this obscure word is much more onomatopoeically satisfying than the mundane rumble. Rachel wrote that she was wondering why her cat's tummy was rumbling so much and she was exploring

the causes and that's when she stumbled upon the word. So surely all three of them couldn't have had that same experience. Question two is how did the Greek Stoic philosopher Christopher Steyer Mr. Christi Mr. Christi

He was so stoic that he refused to go to a doctor for abdominal pain and died from a ruptured bowel. Option two, bleeding from the anus. Option three, spontaneous combustion. Okay. Four, he died laughing too hard at his own joke. Five, he kept banging on about his philosophies on the streets of Athens

despite everyone telling him to knock it off. The Athenians eventually shut him up with a rock to the head, if you know what I mean. Or he drank so much wine and refused to go to the bathroom that his bladder burst. What's his name? Chrysippus.

Chrysippus. Chrysippus. Chrysippus. He didn't piss. True to his name. Chrysippus. Chris. Chrysippus. Chrysippus. Chrysippus. He didn't piss. Oh. True to his name. Sounds like he would take a piss. Maybe he only took one. Never piss.

Never piss. Chris no piss. Someone did do that though. Never pissed until I died. Yeah. I didn't want to break the seal. A Greek did. It might have been a Dionysus though.

No, that was a God. It was one of those. They just never. Cause the like, anatomically, they couldn't. Because they love to party, dude. They love to, like, they love to have those big orgies. Right, but not piss. Or maybe you could hold it until it bursts. It's sort of like piss off the balcony.

Well, they had the vomitorium. They're on a balcony. They had the vomitorium that they could go in. And, well, that's what the, when you go into a theatre, that's what the aisles, when you go into a theatre, they're called the vomitorium because that's where you would go to vomit. I reckon that would have been a real downer for the orgy and that's probably when they invented water sports.

Yeah. What's that? Dial it. Let's bring it in. Can you piss into the vomitorium? You can pretty much do anything you want. Yeah? Yeah.

Thanks, Ben. So, anything standing out to you, Raewyn? Refused to go to the doctor, bleeding from the anus, spontaneous combustion, laughing his own joke, got hit in the head with a rock, or drank too much wine, but a burst? I reckon he drank too much wine. All right, locking that in for Raewyn. Particularly this one who's dying. Yeah.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. I reckon he laughed so much at his own joke. All right, locking that in for Russell. I'm going to go with the holding the piss in. So two holding the piss ins. Did you go hold the piss in? Yeah. Oh, I thought you said drank too much wine. Hold the piss in. Yeah you go hold the piss in yeah oh i thought you said i'll

drink too much wine yeah hold the piss in yeah there's a lot going on in that one yeah i'm gonna go hold the piss in hold the piss in for atb well let's go through who wrote the answers he was so stoic that he refused to go to a doctor uh that was kayla aka the house they didn't have doctors back then whoa when did they invent doctors they'd probably like medicine oh wait hippocratic yes yeah i take it back uh bleeding from the anus that was alice trombley birchall thank you spontaneous combustion that was raywin pickering there you go that's good uh getting hit on the head with a rock that was uh kayla in the house uh drinking too much wine refusing refusing to go to the bathroom. That was Ben Russell.

Fuck. I'm sticking. I'm flipping the bird to both. That was really good. That was really good, Ben. I genuinely got tricked by you. It's a different Greek that that happened to. It might have been a Roman.

I forget. I get them mixed up. Also, that means Ben got the answer correct. He died laughing too hard of his own joke. So maximum three points to Ben Russell that round. Boom! That's a big one. That's a big one.

That puts me in front. That was psychologically. Had you heard that as well? What? No, I just put two and two together because I was like, it was a process of elimination. Because I'd also heard that I think a Greek had died laughing. Really?

Yeah. And the fact that you said stoic, I was like, okay, that he's a stoic and then he told a joke yeah yeah i wonder what the joke was i'll tell yeah i'll mention it soon i don't get it i bet you it's a rip roar i think it's one that doesn't it's like the context has changed and it doesn't really make sense anymore it's dated it's like watching you know auntie jack which is an australian sitcom you know what was great the other day my i probably a bit racist you know the other day i genuinely brought up auntie donna to my dad and he goes who and i go you don't know auntie donna he goes i've

heard of auntie jack and i'm like that's the best they're our generations auntie jack yeah here's question number three. This one was written by Michaela from Abacal, Newcastle in New South Wales. Abacal. Michaela? Michaela. And Michaela's question is, which of these is a real species of bird? So you've just got to come up with a fake bird species. And while you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more about Chrysippus.

According to Wiki, Chrysippus was a prolific writer. He's said to rarely have gone without writing 500 lines a day, and he composed more than 705 works. His desire to be comprehensive meant that he would take both sides of an argument, and his opponents accused him of filling his books with quotations of others. He was considered diffuse and obscure obscure i don't know if i'm saying diffuse right in his utterances and careless in his style but his abilities were highly regarded and he came to be seen as a preeminent authority for the stoic school he died during the 143rd o Olympiad at the age of 73. Diogenes Laertius gives two-

Diogenes. Oh, Diogenes Laertius. I don't know about that one, but I know Diogenes. Agamemnon. Anyway, Diogenes gives two different accounts of his death. In the first account, Chrysippus was seized with dizziness, having drunk undiluted wine at a feast and died soon after. You're laughing now I said dizziness.

Dizziness. Dizziness. That's how they said it in ancient Greece. In the second account, he was watching a donkey eat some figs and cried out, obviously in Greek, but the English equivalent is, now give the donkey a drink of pure wine to wash the figs, whereupon he died in a fit of laughter. Had to be there, don't you?

Yeah, yeah. I think that the jokes I laugh at the most, especially my own jokes, are ones that actually don't really work once you say it to other people. So I think that that's what he got. I'd say that's most of your jokes. He saw a joke in his head

that wasn't out and interpretable by others. Yeah, I know. But you can acknowledge that. That's why you're so successful as a stand-up. It's just a little rib. It was a fair rib. It's just a fair rib. And with that rib, let's make a woman.

Rib it up. Rib it up, baby! For our pleasure. Yeah. We're doing this for you, hon. I don't like it, bud. All right, question number three is, which of these are real species of bird?

Hotshot tit warbler, yellow-bellied cock snap, thick-titted mouser, the spitzer swallow, the annular bleeding pool tit, or the spangled drongo? Spangled drongo. Walking in, just like that. Yep. You're an animal expert. Are you going to know this one?

No. No, she likes the four-legged friends, not the... I do. I appreciate a bird. Not the winged beasts. I never said that. Don't let that get out. Do you have any birds at your farm?

You got chooks? Yeah yeah lots of chooks i'm going to take a backyard poultry workshop actually if anyone's interested in this holy shit backyard poultry does that mean where you can like is that where you cut off their heads and stuff like that in the back that's where you get two teams and they have to fix up, pick my poultry. Poultry swap is when you have one that lives with you in your bed. And they've got to do the rules. In your bed. That is the worst because they've got those fucking dead eyes, don't they? They look at you. They look like they're going to hurt you.

It's very easy to hypnotise the chicken. I don't remember what it was, but I think I liked the second one. Yellow-bellied cock snap? Yeah. That's not a... No, wait, I liked it for different reasons. That's something you'd call a cowboy or something. Yellow-bellied cock snap.

I liked it as a name for my son. What was the third one? Thick-titted mouser. Yeah, that one. Walking in thick-titted mouser. Raewyn. I liked the first one. What was the first one?

Hot shot tit warbler. I liked that one as well. Yeah. Don't you try to fucking trick me. I'm going to pick that one. Logging in. I reckon I would, in all honesty. The drongo is something, though.

Drongo, you drongo. It's not. It started as something before it was a. Yeah, I feel like it was. It's like an insult for it. Is that an Australian insult or is that kind of an international one? A drongo.

I think it's just Australian. You're making me doubt myself now. Very good. Still time to change. Hot-shotted... What is it called? Hot-shotted tit warbler? Hot-shot tit warbler.

Hot-shot tit warbler. That's pretty good. It sounds like a bird. Whoever did it is very, very clever and you've got my respect but did i have your guess um no i'm gonna spread it out hot shots too i'm gonna be like stick with the drongo yep i'm gonna be like uh alistair at a nightclub and spread it out what was i spreading out the my my body yeah yeah it's just my seed or like your attention like my legs are going yeah yeah legs welcoming people into my warm man spready you ever checked a man's pretty oh not on the dance floor spread egg and i would kind of but that would be a great

position if you went and laid down on the dance floor on your back and just spread your legs out and just see if anybody comes into your open flower. If any bees come to pollinate. Bees come to collect your nectar. Like one of those carnivorous

plants. And then if they come in, you just lock them in. That's it. And then slowly dissolve them in your juices. This episode's definitely got an AO rating, I think. Adults only. No kids. Well, let's go through who wrote the answers. Yellow-bellied cock snap was written by Michaela.

Okay, the house. That was a good one. It was a good one. The spits of swallow Okay, the house. That was a good one. It was a good one. The Spitzerswallow, also the house. Hot Shot Tit Warbler, which Alistair went for. That was Raewyn.

Ah! That was really good. I can tell you you spent some time with the tits. Avian. Yeah, just the avian tits.

The Annular Bleeding Pool Tit, that was Alistair Tremblay-Birchall. Working on a bit of a theme today. I was just trying to add all the things I've had in other questions before. Yeah. I was trying to get the anus in there. It's very clever. Thank you.

Do you like it? Very clever. Very, very clever stuff. Raewyn went for the thick-titted mouser, which was written by Ben Russell. I did. Gotcha. Two in a row you've got it.

Yeah. Meaning the correct answer was the spangled drongo. What? Fuck yes. Three from three, Ben Russell. God, am I the smartest man alive? You're up there. That's the question. You're up there.

That means Raewyn's on the board That round with a point Oh yeah Can you believe it It's been really good But Ben gets another Two points Meaning the score is now

Oh no Raewyn Alistair And the house All on one point But out in front Ben Russell On six points

How did I get one point You got a point In the first round That first question Felt sorry for you Oh yeah You guys gamed up I did give something like that

Yeah Forgot about that. Here is question number four. This one comes from Brian Stafford from Oxnard in California. The question is, name the character and their unique power that was introduced in Uncanny X-Men volume 345 in 1997. So, you got to come up with a name and their unique power. While you're writing your answers, here's a little more info about the Spangled Drongo.

According to birdsinbackyards.net, Ray, I imagine you love this website, the Spangled Drongo has glossy black plumage with iridescent blue-green spots, which are the spangles. It also has a long forked tail and blood-red eyes. Sexes are similar similar but the female is slightly smaller occasional white spotting can be seen on the upper wings of both sexes young birds are more sooty black with their spangles and their eyes brown the spangled drongo is noisy and conspicuous usually active and frequently aggressive to other species i guess

that's where they got the name from michaela says they can be seen sitting outside pubs and calling out to passers-by bit of fun there the macquarie dictionary australia's i think australia's national dictionary says a drongo is a slow-witted or stupid person a fool the great australian insult was originally an r-a-a-f term for a raw recruit it first appeared in the early 1940s, but its origin reaches back to the name of the racehorse Strongo who ran around in the early 1920s. There you go. Ben Russell, you are three from three.

Yeah. No one, I mean, I don't really keep track of it, but I'm pretty sure no one's ever got the first three right. Certainly not all of them right. You are on track for record breaking. Don't jinx it. That'll jinx it now. It ends here.

Yeah, I'm not confident with this because I'm not a fucking nerd. I always thought you were. You give nerd vibes. Yeah, you got nerd. That's not true. So you've got all the. That's not true. You don't have knowledge.

I give curmudgeonly vibes. That's not true. So you've got all the. That's not true. You don't have knowledge. I give curmudgeonly vibes. That's not. I don't know what it is. That feels like that's a newer part of your personality. Maybe it lasts like three, four years. It's just because I've been moving house. Yeah, but I've been getting it for a while. I've actually always thought you're very lovely.

It's just because I've been living in the world. That's true. Just towards ATB. I'm a sweetheart. And it's just to you. That's okay. Yeah, that's true. Just as ATB. I'm a sweetheart. And it's just to you. That's okay. That's fair. I do show you a fair amount of warmth

and I do seem very happy to see you. Yeah, I don't know how to do it, you know, respond to it. And I'm afraid, terrified to be, you know, seen as vulnerable and let myself in. Even though I desperately want your love and affection that you are so generous at. And I want to give you a little kiss on the lips and how does that make you feel uh you know what i you know i want to take everything that ben says genuinely

but i feel like while i feel like he might be revealing something real i feel like there's a level of it that is comedy and that makes me like it as well but then also you know it's masked through a such a thin layer of irony that allows me to almost believe it's true yeah so yeah you want to kiss my lips are pretty dry at the moment but yeah well let's wait until they're really juicy and wet let's moist these bad boys up. Give us a sip of that juice over there, Matt. That brown juice you got. Give us that brown juice. Your brown juice. Really shocked your double fisting.

Like you've had a sip from one, sip from the other. For the listener. Really disgusting. Matt has an iced milky coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. fresh squeezed orange juice and the acidity of the orange juice mixed with the tandem use of the iced coffee milk would just, it would make your guts curdle. You were going to do the rankest fucking thing. And you live, you know where you live.

That's why I'm pissed off because I pay rent. Yeah, but you don't pay enough rent for me to not- I'm not going to. Enough for him to have one drink. Hey, while you're still writing your answer, let's go for a quick break. Okay, so your answers are in. Here's question number four.

Name the character and their unique power that was introduced in Uncanny X-Men Vol. 345 in 1997. The Flew, who's a young refugee from Fallujah who can expel noxious gases from his extremities. Toadstool, who is a sentient mushroom who is able to change its size, becoming super big or super small, but the bigger it makes itself, the more painful it is to exist. The bigger it makes itself, the more painful it is to exist. The angler who uses his bioluminescent proboscis to attract and hypnotise its prey. What's a proboscis?

A nose. A proboscis. Oh, proboscis. Proboscis. He could not get it from proboscis. A proboscis is an Italian biscuit. Proboscis. Proboscis. I mean, you know. It's a nose. It is an Italian biscuit. Proboscis. Proboscis.

I mean, you know. It's a nose. It's an accent thing. Tomato, tomato. It's like a nose or the little curly thing that's on a moth. Like the proboscis monkey is the one with the big dick nose. Yeah, the big hunker. Screw Man.

It's got a Phillips head hand and a flathead hand. All of these could be true because they're they get so fucking ridiculous yeah and screw man was a highly sought after addition to any worksite maggot who instead of a digestive system has a pair of semi-sentient slugs who bore their way out of his torso and are able to digest any solid objects in their path at super speeds before passing the energy back to their host. Or Brickman, who can instantly transform into a fully functioning bricks-and-mortar building and also has a really hard head when in human form.

Brickman, Maggot, Screwman, The Angler, Toadstool or The Flew. I hope Stan Lee is listening. I mean, it feels like anything. He's dead, dude. Oh, man. Sorry, man. Well, I mean, he could be listening from beyond the grave. From the big podcast studio in heaven where they all have big listener parties.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Listening to what? Einstein's there. They're just listening while they're doing the dishes. Einstein's jamming with fucking Jimi Hendrix and they're listening to fucking. Podcast. Podcast.

In the nude. In the nude. In the nude. And they're fucking because it's all right in heaven. Jimi's playing, he's strumming his own dick. Yeah. And he can get a really deep note and he can make it distort. And he set it on fire for a great effect. And he plays the American National Anthem.

Yeah. Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong. Doink, doink, doink, doink. Dan and Al are standing because they're both American. Doink, doink, doink, doink. Ben and Al are standing because they're both American. We should make the Australian anthem the Drongo Spangled Banner. That's a good idea. That would be nice. Why would we do that?

Well, the bird is an Australian bird the bird yeah but it's a bird it's not a song it's an Australian bird yeah it's an Australian bird oh well the flag's not a song and they wrote that thing about it that's true

grow up mate the flag's not a song the flag's not a song so what you propose is that we change the national anthem to be about the drongo yeah

is that what you're saying not that the drongo becomes the national anthem because the drongo is a species of bird, not a song. Okay, well, you squish the bird into a banner. Oh, okay. And then it's a banner.

And then we know you can accept that some banners can have songs written about them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no, no. Do you accept that? I accept that. Do you accept that first of all? I accept that things can be written about things,

but I don't accept that a bird can be a song. All right. What about a songbird? A songbird. Two completely different things. A songbird sings a song. Yeah, what about a songbird? That is a song about a bird.

Well, I think it's actually about the relationship. The struggle for racial equality in the United States. Shut up. What are we doing? Question number four. Have we got any thoughts here? Have you given me answers?

It doesn't even matter. I just don't think any of the stuff where you turn into a man-made thing, that doesn't feel like it. It's more Transformers. It's more Transformers. It's more Transformers. It's also just shouldn't, X-Men shouldn't allow it as part of their thing. But X-Men, they ran out of ideas pretty quickly, I feel.

They've had some real bad ones in the Marvel Universe. I think the 90s, I don't think a lot of 90s superheroes are still, I don't think many of them are like the popular consciousness now. Okay. Because they were things like. We've run out of all the good ones for the movies. Yeah.

Like that's how few good ones there are. Yeah. Is one of them Doctor Strange? None of them are Doctor Strange. Can you read them one more time? The Flew, Toadstool, The Angler, Screwman, Maggot or Brickman? I'm going to go The Maggot. I'm going to go The Flew.

I think The Toadstool. Okay, good. We're going to do a spread. All right. That's a beautiful spread. Much like Al at a nightclub. Get in. Spread and chuck a spready.

Get it. Get my pollen. Get my pollen, you little so and so's did you say you said like a corpse flower yeah yeah

sort of flies I spread myself let out my stink once every 50 years oh it smells like rotting meat get on top of him did someone open

a duried in here? I love juried humour. I love a bit of juried. Not enough juried humour, frankly. I'm going to start a fucking juried Instagram meme account. This episode's starting to make me feel weird. I think that's the juice in the milk, to be honest. Well, you're literally making cheese in your guts.

Is that how they make cheese? Well, I asked for the milk. It's just like, yeah, mate. It's curdling up. Yeah, that's ricotta. Yeah, you've got a fucking gut full of tasty. I love cheese. All right, so let's go through the answers.

A gut full of cheer. Cheer. Brickman was written by the house, as was Toadstool, which Raewyn went for. Then we had Screwman. That was Raewyn. Screwman? Screwman, for. Then we had Screwman. That was Raewyn. Screwman? Screwman, sorry. Screwman. The Angler, which was written by Ben, and that's probably

why he corrected me on proboscis. I did, yeah. Also because it's proboscis, not probiscus. Yeah, what is, is probiscus anything? It's a kind of flower? No, and I wrote it correctly and you're just making shit up over there. Who knows what's gone wrong? Oh, he uses his tulip to forget it.

I was just trying to name another flower. Yeah, I get it. What is it? A flower that's got like a hibiscus or something? Yeah, that's what it is. A hibiscus. Hibiscus. The flu, which Ben went for.

That was Alistair Tremblay Birchall. Nice little bit of colour there. Yeah, you like the refugee thing? I knew that that was what we'd get somewhere. It's clever. Which means Alistair's also correct. It is maggot. Wow.

Yes. Fucking hell. Apparently a very unpopular and rarely used. Yeah, that was where they ate the inside. Yeah, they bore their way out every time because it doesn't have a digestive system. Wow. A South African boy.

The doctor said it was cancer so he ran away from home. Oh no. And he was just gonna he's like, I don't want to be a burden. I ran away from home and then he was don't want to be a burden I run away from home and then he was don't want to be a burden eh so it was in the 90s so he goes I'm going to go to

Perth Western Australia don't ask me why I've left why are all these South African people in the 90s in Joondalup Perth why what's happened don't ask please don't ask In Joondalup, Perth. Why? What's happened? Don't ask.

Please don't ask. Yeah, well, I guess he didn't quite make it that far because he was found in the desert by Magneto, who figured out what was going on with the slugs or whatever. Magneto was just like walking through the desert. He found this boy. Like Moses. Yeah. Let my people go.

And he was talking about the mutants. Yes. Yeah. The Kalahari Desert. Magneto is just out there for some reason. Probably just collecting iron from the sand. Yeah. All right.

Here's question number five. This one comes from Lena Rosenthal from Brighton in the UK. And the question is, what did Shaquille O'Neal tweet on the 20th of august 2009 what did shaq tweet 20th august 2009 while you're writing your answers here's some more info about maggot according to brian uh maggot was created by a long-time uncanny x-men creative tandem scott lobdell and joe madjara the character was advertised as one of the strangest X-Men. Though most mutant characters have been used frequently in the past few years in X-Men comics,

Maggot still hardly, if ever, makes an appearance. The fandom page also says that the two slugs or whatever they were, their names were Aini and Meani. Oh. How fast did they move? Speed of light, is that what you're saying? Super fast. And they could eat any solid mass in their path.

They'd take whatever energy that had and give it back to maggot. But he had to every time, and they'd feed like five times a day, they'd have to bore fresh holes through his abdomen, which is very painful. But he could heal quickly like Wolverine or something. I guess. Maybe from all that energy. Yeah.

How about that? like Wolverine or something. I guess. Maybe from all that energy. Yeah. How about that? Yeah. But that would hurt having to have a bug's bore through your skin.

Yeah. I think it's not ideal. But I think that's the same thing as in Wolverine's hands. That hurts every time as well. Do they say that they eat bad guys, I guess, sometimes? Can you just send it out and get them to eat Magneto? Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. But I guess Magneto could just pull some forks and stick some forks in them. Yeah, but I guess Magneto could just like, you know,

like pull some forks and stick some forks in them or something. Yeah, but he's in the Kalahari Desert. I guess there's no forks out there. What do they eat with? Their hands. I guess unless Wolverine's there. It's a desert. Eh?

Who's they? Well, there's nomadic people who live in the desert. Yeah, but why are they nearby all of a sudden? Well, we don't know. Why is Magneto there by himself that's true probably hanging out with tribes people that's true it's probably very uh he's like a backpacker that's true yeah that's um yeah that's i never thought of that but you were you were sort of getting to the fact that wolverine's hands are kind of forks eating with his hands is like eating

with you can scoop it up yeah that's pretty cool yeah no his adamantium claws would cut through anything you are a nerd I knew it I knew it busted his adamantium claws are the hardest

and sharpest knives in the world so that's actually an impossibility so it wouldn't hold anything adamantium adamant yeah

is it really called adamantium that's fun. T-M. With an M, I think, at the end. T-M. But Adam Ant. Is that a reference to 80s English pop star Adam Ant?

No, it's a reference to early 2000s One Hit Wonder's Alien Ant Farm. Oh, okay. Yeah, great. Annie, are you okay with that one? Yeah, yeah. Cinema or go to Okay? That one. Yeah, yeah. And- Cinema or Go To The Movies or something. Go To The Movies.

Or something. Some cinema-related one. They might have called it film because they were more like- Fellini. Yeah, they wouldn't call it movies. Man With A Movie Camera. Cinema Paradiso. The answers are in for question number five.

What did Shaq tweet on the 20th of August, 2009? I'm at Knott's Berry Farm and my butt's too big to fit in the seats on the ride. Ah, that's me yelling. Barbecue alert. Barbecue alert. I'm still not over Kazam being snubbed by the Oscars. I'm having a tall heart attack. Holy smokes.

Anyone tried that Kentucky Fried? Very good. Or 9-11 was an inside job. What happened to building three? Do the research, y'all. I think that y'all makes me feel like that was a bad one. Because of the American accent.

But you've got to remember Shaq's also American. Oh, they're both American. We're not that different, me and Shaq. That's true. And then Kentucky Fried Chicken's from America. Oh, that's true, yes. That could have also been bad. Yeah.

But I don't have barbecues over here. That one's very Australian. Barbies? Barbecue or lamb barbecue? Well, you can tell that one's not real here. Americans do have barbecue. What? Yeah, they have been about it.

I'm pretty sure we came up with barbecues. No, no, no. I'm going to say something very controversial. Hang on. I saw a Bunnings ad once that said, there's nothing more Australian than wearing your thongs to a barbecue and getting a cold drink in the summer. And I'm like, well, yeah, three Australian original concepts.

I'm going to say something that I think is going to be quite controversial. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this. Australians aren't actually that good at barbecuing and they're not as good as Americans at barbecuing. I mean, in a way, by enjoying a lower quality barbecue so much more, they're actually better at barbecuing. If you've had American food, it's so much more lower quality barbecue so much more. They're actually better at barbecue. If you've had American food, it's so much more lower quality. No, but not their barbecue.

That freaking slow cooking. Yeah, don't they like tender barbecue? They let things soak. They let that make soak for weeks. Yeah, ribs and all that. It's like proper original salt. And they've turned it into a nerd thing now. It's original poor food that they, you know.

Like it's like, yeah, rubs. They rub things. Put as many spices on the cheapest bit of meat that you can. They put it in the smoker for 45 minutes. It does, yeah. They clearly do it a lot better. They squeeze it to show you how many juices come out. All we go is like, we got some bread.

Put some, put this. Put some lips, hooves, and assholes in some bread. Sausage and bread. Now, that's not to say. Yeah, I was at Bunnings two weekends in a row. Bunnings is a, how would you put that in American or English? Home Depot. Is that what a Home Depot is?

A hardware store. Yeah. Lowe's. Oh, Lowe's. The bar where the big men buy. So their Lowe's, our Lowe's here is a shop for big men. Yeah. With clothes.

Clothing, yeah. But over there, it's a shop for big men to buy hardware. Yeah, yeah. Because they've got, and I had the sausage sizzle twice and it was so fucking good. They're the best. I don't know why they're so good. I don't know why.

It's like just the best comfort food. It was one of my first, my first ever job was out the front of a Bunnings cooking the sausages on the weekends. The keys to bread's got to be fresh that day. Not for charity. No? No. It was the 90s. It was a different time. We didn't do things for people.

We were all maggots back then. No, it was just for the Bunnings Cafe. Yeah, I got paid $7 an hour. And I could eat all the sausages that I wanted to and drink all the soda pop. And you got paid $7 an hour. And I could eat all the sausages that I wanted to and drink all the soda pop. Cool. And you got paid $7. Yeah.

Jesus Christ. You could easily eat $7 worth of sausages. Oh, 100%. That's like 30 sausages. So any thoughts here? Ben, I don't think you've gone first yet, perhaps. So you've got I'm at Knott's Berry Farm. Is that a thing?

Mm-hmm. Then you've got Barbecue Alert. Still Not Over Kazam. Being Snubbed. Tall Heart Attack. Holy Smokes. What year was this? 19, sorry, 2009, which I think is the 90s of the 2000s.

I'm going to go Tall Heart Attack. Tall Heart Attack. Locking that in for Ben. Why not? I'm going to win anyway. I haven't got through them all. There was also 9-11 was an inside job. But obviously, I don't know.

I've mentioned to you in a few previous episodes that someone once complained and gave me a one star because of all the 9-11 direct comments. It's weird that Shaq would know that every time I'm on this podcast, because of that one comment, I have to make some 9-11 comment. But as an American, you can. Yeah, as an American, I can. It's the kind of joke that I would never make. No, it would be a fun part. But also, like all Americans, I don't like censorship,

so I'm not going to censor you. Yeah, but that's not me. That's Shaq. I'm just not going to go that way. You're a vessel. Yeah. No, I didn't do it. I didn't say you did. Yeah. But that's not me. That's Shaq. I'm just not going to go that way. You're a vessel. Yeah. No, I didn't do it. I didn't say you did.

Yeah. Like 9-11. Yeah. Hey, what are you trying to hard, man? You didn't do it, did you? I did. Oh, Ben! I was in.

On your own country. I was in year 12 and I just did it because on that day, everyone was really nice to me. That's how you know. That's how you know it was an inside job. Ben, are you okay? I'm like, I'm fine. I didn't know anyone on there, man.

It's like, what are you doing? Did you go to school with a lot of South Africans based on what you were saying before? No, no, no. They went to school in like June. I had a few South Africans actually on what you were saying before? No, no, no. No, they went to school in like June to like, I had a few South Africans actually. They were like maybe three, four. Did they go to their own special school

because they love being separated from other people? Yeah, they did. They were like, we don't like you, okay? It's nothing like political. It's just the way things are. Because Ben,

Ben from America, but went to school in Western Australia, which is where all the South Africans went in the 90s. Yeah, for some reason. Yeah. No one knows what happened in the 90s in South Africa.

No one knows what happened in the 90s in South Africa. Does that mean a lot of white South Africans had to? Yeah, all the white South Africans left and came to Australia. That's weird. That's weird. They call Western Australia the Argentina of Australia. It's the Argentina of South Africa, yeah. All right, so I'm having a tall

heart attack locked in for Ben what about you Al? God KFC KFC? yeah and

what about you Raven? I like the Knott's Berry Farms that is a good one I didn't want to choice so good but you're saying that because it's yours

aren't you? eh? Eh? Eh? No. No. All right, let's go through the answers. This one might shock listeners. Such a bad fucking poker face there. 9-11 was an inside job.

That was Ben Russell. What? That shocked even you. I actually believe that it was a guy named, this dude, what's his face? What's his name? Osama Bin Laden? Yeah, that guy. Oh, right.

Yeah, I think it was him. Hiding in plain sight. Was it Prince from? Prince Ali? A fabulous king? That's right. His third wish. Ali Ababu.

I knew it. He's like, I wish to teach those capitalist pigs. They changed it a little bit for Disney. And the genie went, oh, oh, watch out. Oh, oh, no. Hey, we're coming in. Hey. Oh, no.

I reckon that one star reviewer just started listening again as well. Barbecue Alert, Barbecue Alert. That was written by Lena, aka The House. Lena. I'm still not over Kazam being snubbed by the Oscars. That was also The House. Holy smokes, anyone tried that Kentucky Fried? That was Raewyn.

No. That was so good. I'm having a tall heart Attack, which Ben went for. That was Alistair Trumboy Bird. Because he did have a heart problem sort of around that time, didn't he? Yeah, and you reckon he tweeted it live? It's, yeah, yeah. In a humorous way.

That sounds like something. He's a very gregarious man. He's so fun. Like you two, he's also an Australian gambling company ambassador. I only do it because I believe in their products. And I only did it for the money. I think Shaq was both. He was the best of both of you.

I don't actually like gambling. There you go. But it's being made illegal. Do you know that? You're slowly going to phase that shit out. It makes me feel good. By advertising it or just doing it? Advertising.

And that's the good thing. Bad for the comedy industry, but. Bad for the Melbourne comedy industry. If they could just wait until they renew my contract. You know, they roll it over one year. It is good to get roll overs, but it's bad when you get like um like real fucking judgmental comedy fans going up and going oh i wish he didn't do these

gambling ads do you get and he and i he should have told me and i would have given him twenty thousand dollars oh right after lockdown wait who said that i might message him say i'm in i got a call back. Just people on Twitter that go fuck themselves. Yeah, okay. I think that's fair. And that means that Raewyn was correct. It was I'm at Knott's Berry Farm and my butt's too big.

Raewyn's on the board. That's great to see Raewyn win this one. Really thriving. Well, two points for Raewyn that round and one point for ATB. Well done. I love that you can sniff out like a truth in a farm story. You know, like... Yeah, that's true.

It's very gravitate. Oh, I don't know. That's true. We have had customers complain about the size of our farm chairs. So the scores are now the house on two points.

Ray went on three points. Alistair on four points, but still out in front on six points is Ben Russell. Boom. Benjamin Russell. You are so far ahead. I know. I know.

There's no catching up. With two questions to go. Here's question number six. Jesus Christ. This one comes from Mr. Heggie from Pombaly Pimperton on Thames in England. I think it's Luke Heggie's dad. He's actually a tattoo artist, Mr. Heggie.

He designed this one. Oh, cool. The beer one. Yeah. Beer and a hat. Should follow him on Instagram. Does a lot of great stuff. Yeah, right.

What's the handle? I think it's just Mr. Heggie. Mr. Heggie. Okay. H-E-G-G-I-E? Yeah. Okay. I'm doing it right now.

But yeah, he's just got this cool cartoony style. It's Mr. Underscore Heggie. Oh, Mr. Underscore Heggie. So here is Mr. Heggie's question. Mr. Heggie's question. How did Steve Glue make a small fortune of $4.5 million? How did Steve Glue make a small fortune of $4.5 million? While you're writing those answers, let me tell you more about the Shaq tweet.

According to Lena, while Shaq did tweet about barbecue, it was in 2023 and was more specifically a barbecue chicken alert uh which is obviously very different however shacks 2009 tweet about the amusement park knotsberry farm that's an amusement park is one that lives in the heart of many a fan beautifully written thank you so much lena all right the answers are in here is question number six. How did Steve Glue make a small fortune of $4.5 million? He created part of the Macarena dance. He stole the rent from an elderly woman's carry satchel, went to the casino and put the cash on 23 on the roulette and won. Whoa.

He sued his parents for being born. He was a co-writer on Wham's Wake Me Up, earning millions of dollars in royalties, invented and patented the infrared door sensor that is used in all automatic doors across the world, or he ran a smuggling racket, mulling Pez dispensers from Eastern Europe to the US. Feel free to talk through. I watched something. I watched the Pez one.

Okay. But I cannot remember his name. But look, you've got this smug kind of fucking shit-eating grin on your face. There's a definite smug. I reckon you watched it too. You recently watched the Pez. So scratch that idea. Don't laugh.

I actually wrote that documentary and set up for this whole thing. Let's see. Macarena gambled with his stolen money. Sued his parents. Corrupt Wham. Infrared door sensor. Or the Pez smuggling racket. Sued his parents feels like the kind of thing that you would want to believe happens in America.

When was this? It did not have a year. Okay. That story did happen, but i believe the case was thrown out right because i mean that would set quite a precedent wouldn't yeah you can't do that because i mean oh no but then you're just trying to get money out of your parents which you know you can get it otherwise the old lady the old lady the door the macarena wham. Macarena I don't buy. Wham I could get. What was the old lady one?

Old lady. Stole from her old lady. Put her on 23 at the roulette table. Old lady door Wham. Pez. Pez. Pez I've discounted because of the shitting grin. So unless he chooses Pez.

Oh, wow. Al, you go last. No. I've already been first, man. You can't. Ray, do you want, you go last. No, you go first. I've already been first, man. You can't. Raewyn, you want to have a go? Al, you want to have a go?

Anyone want to have a go? I'll just go the, yeah, the roulette one. Roulette one? Why not? We're locking that in for Raewyn. What are you doing, Ben? I'm waiting for you. I'll go Pez.

Interesting psych out here. Can you go your own? I mean. No one would. You can't get a point for going your own. That is certainly the case. But you can still get a point if somebody else guesses yours. Yeah, guesses yours, even if you guess your own. If you've fooled them into it.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. But wouldn't he get a point? Say someone chose their own, they'd get a point, but then they'd also lose a point. Yeah. What are the options? Say you got...

No, I'm just going to go Pez. You're going to go Pez. You're going to go Pez? Yeah. All right. Let's go through who wrote the answers.

Created part of the Macarena. That was Mr. Heggie, a.k.a. The House. As was, suing his parents for being born, also

Mr. Heggie. Co-writing Wham's Wake Me Up. That was Raewyn Pickering. Oh, that was a good one.

Trick G. Ben wrote it. Is G. Ben wrote. Is what I would say. Which one did I write? Ben wrote invented and painted the infrared door sensor. Oh, interesting. I know the, like the someone there, like great granddad did that. Wow.

And they kind of. Mr. Glue. Still see the. Still the cash. The dividends. Isn't that of- Mr. Glue. Still see the- Still the cash. The dividends, yeah. Isn't that wild? What a system. All you have to do is just invent something that's used worldwide, internationally.

Yeah, that's really good. What a system. A system? Yeah, well, that's another thing that if you had invented that, you would have invented it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. You would have been rich.

Yeah. Raewyn went for stealing the elderly woman's money and gambling it. That was Alistair Trombley Birchall. Meaning the correct answer was he ran a smuggling racket, mewling Pez dispensers. There you go. I've never heard of it. It's good.

The Pez docker. It's quite good. Yeah, cool. But isn't that wild? $4.5 million from Pez dispensers. It's crazy. Because the Pez America was different than Pez Europe. So he would go over to Europe and then just bring fuck loads back.

And because Pez America didn't register their trademark with the border security, they just had to let him through with all the shit. So how was it? Was he done for it in the end, it sounds like? It's a big sort of like story. I won't ruin it, but it's quite, it's quite a good. I'll have to check it out. And it's on Netflix.

I believe so. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. I love Netflix. Please sponsor me. So there's Netflix. Yeah.

Two points for Alistair there. One point for Ben Russell. Meaning the score is going into the final round. The house on two points. Ray one on three points. Alistair there, one point for Ben Russell. Meaning the score is going into the final round. The House on two points, Ray one on three points, Alistair on six points, but just down front on seven points is Ben Russell. But what you've got to remember is the final round's worth triple points, meaning it is truly still anyone's game. Here's question seven.

The final question comes from Joseph Lemma from Norwood, Young America, in MN, which would be Maine or Minnesota? Minnesota, isn't it? MN? And we always finish with a film synopsis question. So you just wrote a brief film synopsis here. And the question is, what is the synopsis of the 1998 film Bone Daddy? What is the synopsis of the 1998 film Bone Daddy?

I picked it basically because it just sounds like a Ben Russell bit to me. Anything dad related is very Ben Russell. While you're writing your answers, here's some more info about Steve Glue. For 11 years, the Pez outlaw was buying Pez dispensers that weren't available in the US directly from the Pez factory in Hungary to sell them on the Pez black market in the US. And like Ben said, he was stopped by US customs with thousands of Pez dispensers in his luggage. But it turns out Pez never registered the Pez trademark with customs.

So it was technically legal. This is, Mr. Heggy wrote all this. There's a real nice documentary called The Pez Outlaw. And Mr. Heggy finishes up by saying, dude is rad. Have a nice day. Thank you so much, Mr. Heggie. And I also wish you have a nice day. All right, the answer in for the final question.

What is the synopsis of the 1998 film Bone Daddy? Liam Neeson stars as a struggling father who has his world turned upside down when he's told that he is not a familiar DNA match, so he cannot donate bone marrow to his dying son.

You've got Billy's father coming back from a car crash death, only he's a skeleton. You've got the medicine man kid with the bone daddy comes back to collect his payment. The pathologist-turned-author publishes a novel about the true crimes of a bone daddy comes back to collect his payment the pathologist turned author publishes a novel about the true crimes of a bone daddy inspiring the kill again the museum curator who has to go up against the black market fossil trade and it's kingpin the bone daddy or kurt russ russ or kurt russell in the old west um in a film that is uh a blood-fueled

darkly comedic romp i I reckon The Serial Killer. Serial Killer for Raewyn. One of the oncologists and also. That means you're up next, Alistair. I'm going to go The Romp. The Romp. Ben, do you want to talk us through the board? I'm going to go through The Kid.

Go through The Kid? Yeah, go through. That comes back as a skeleton? Or The Liam Neeson? No, no, no. No? There's kids in all of these. The college witch doctor.

Witch doctor, yes. Yeah. Medicine man. Yeah. For Ben Russell. All right. Jeez. You didn't even know.

No thoughts. Just locked in. Yeah, no, I didn't have a single thought. No, we all were. We've been here for two hours. Listeners don't know that. This has been tightened up into a breezy hour and a half. All right, let's go through who wrote the answers then.

The museum curator, Michael Hogarth. That was written by Joseph, a.k.a. The House. Joseph also wrote the one where the dad came back as a skeleton, which I enjoyed very much. I thought that that was maybe the real one. The nice little as a skeleton, which I enjoyed very much. I thought that that was maybe the real one. The nice little twist. Yeah, that was a good chance. The 90s were a crazy time.

Dad's coming back as skeletons, et cetera. Honey, I shrunk the kids. Could you just do, like, how would that sound? You're the dad, right? Coming back, meeting your son for the first time, only now you're in skeleton form. It's me, your dad. I'm in skeleton form it's me your dad i'm in skeleton form yeah clickety click click click clickety clack daddy's back

is that rick moranis yeah rick moranis that would have been a great porno name rick moranis would have been not anymore? Not enough recognition for that. I mean, I guess if you're one of those old guys. Hey guys, it's me, Rick Moranis. I'm a skeleton. Oh, I'm going to skeleton.

Stop taking care of my sick wife. Watch out. Hey, it's me, Rick Moranis. I'm your dad. Liam Neesonon who needs to find his son's real dad that was Raewyn I will find your bone daddy

yeah that's what I was picturing I will find you I will find your bone daddy I will find your bone daddy I mean that's in a lot of my dreams the one that Ben went for about the medicine man

That was Alistair Trombley-Burchill Yeah Three points for Al there Three points Oh yeah The one that Obsessed with troglodytes That's why I knew it would be Al's

Oh you love a troglodyte No it wasn't a troglodyte one No the troglodyte one Never mind Alistair locked in the troglodyte one though Which was Ben Russell. Oh! You son of a...

Son of a woman. Hooah! Hooah! Son of a... It was a mesh between two existing movies. Yeah, right. So Bone Tomahawk does have Kurt Russell in it and is an excellent horror film.

Oh. Son of a daddy. Where he is a sheriff in a town, but it's like troglodyte cannibals and it's fucking film. Oh. Son of a Daddy. Where he is a sheriff in a town, but it's like troglodyte cannibals, and it's fucking awesome. I've never heard of it. That sounds cool. It's real good.

It's real gory, fucked up, but just such a great, like, kind of creature feature, fun thing. Gory Daddy. Yeah, Gory Daddy. Gory Daddy. That means the one that Raewyn went for, the pathologist turned author,

is the correct answer so you each get three points meaning apart from the house nothing really changes I'll give you the final scores

in a second the film only has two reviews on Rotten Tomatoes both of them one a splat one of them

not a splat but the audience score is 18% from more than a thousand. It was not well loved. Who was in it? It starred Rutger Hauer. Oh, Rutger Hauer. Rutger Hauer! Are you familiar with Rutger's work? Yeah, yeah. What is it? You're a Rutger head? Rutger Hauer. He was in Blade Runner, wasn't he? Yes. Well done.

And it was also... I'm a cinephile. Barbara Williams. RH Thompson. Joseph Kell. Robin Gamble. And Blue Man Kuma. Blue Man Kuma. He was the original Blue Man Group guy, I guess.

Blue Man Group. Blue Man Groomer. He was the recruiter for the Blue Man Group guy, I guess. Blue Man Group. Blue Man Groomer. He was the recruiter for the Blue Man Group. All right, the final score check on two points in last place is The House. Sucked in, House. Second-largest ever score for The House. In third place, up to six points, is Raewyn Pickering. Six is respectable.

Raewyn, people in Melbourne can come to your, is it a monthly comedy room? Yeah, yep. Come along to Miss Moses Comedy in Brunswick. Can I get a gig? If you grow the mower back. Can I get a gig? We only have the highest calibre.

On, no, come down. You'll see me every month. I'm not wearing a disguise. Hey, you said I could have it. Oh, I'm sorry. I won't use it on stage. Wait a second. But is it called, it's called Deathbed Comedy, isn't it?

Yeah, Deathbed because you have to tell a little secret. A little secret to kick off. The last time I did it, I told a secret that I think made the whole room awkward. Then in second place on nine points, it's Alistair Tremblay-Birchall. Grazie. That's what you get when you roll five dices with the same number

in Italy. In Italy, yeah. Now you've got a podcast that's out every week with Andy Matthews. That's right. It's called Two in the Think Tank. You should listen to it. It's been around for 10 years now. Oh, my God. That's a long pod. Yeah.

And that means in first place, the only one making it into double figures on 10 points, it's Ben Russell. Ben wins. That's my second win, I believe. Yeah, you're on fire. Yeah. How can people find you? On the socials, Ben Russell's on Twitter

or Ben Russell's on threads. Oh, you're threading it up. I, Ben Russell's on Twitter or Ben Russell's on threads. Oh, you're threading it up. I'm Ben Russell on thread or I'm Ben Russell on Instagram. Yeah, that's about it. That's all you need to know. Following. He's always up to stuff. I am always up to things.

But not doing ads anymore. No. No, try not to shill so much. No, I'm trying to get really. You're not going cold turkey giving the brand giving the brand a rest

thanks so much for listening everyone please give us a five star review and tell your friends if you think you know anyone who might enjoy this

show stick around for the outtakes I feel like they're going to be pretty long this week and choose to tune in to who knew with

Matt Stewart now that you know it I've been Matt Stewart and I'm pissing buckets do you really? No, Matt does. That's going to edit nicely

actually. Fuck! Fuck! What are you from at the moment, Ben, when I introduce you? Your arsehole. Okay. Is that what you want me to say? Yeah.

Okay. Is this from my arsehole? He's on, I tell you. He's a pro. Would you call yourself an improv darling? The queen of improv darlings? I'm the king of improv So I have darlings But I can't be a darling myself

They can't call you darling Is it improv you gotta kill your darlings? Is that you gotta kill your darlings in improv? Is that an improv thing? Alistair Darling? I don't call you darling. Is it improv you've got to kill your darling? Is that you've got to kill your darling? Is that an improv thing? No, that's a writing thing. Alistair Darling? I don't know who that is. Is that you?

Are you trying to get that nickname going? I think there's a British politician or something like that called Alistair Darling. Really? Oh, now I know. It's a funny reference. Explain it. It goes good in front of people who know things. It goes good in front of English people who are up to date with their politics.

You're not in Sean McArthur's writing room now, mate. Yeah, all right, all right. Yeah, you can't make little witticisms and expect a response. Your humorous ways won't work here. I'll release them in a book one day. Yeah. Quotations. All that, the weekly muscle.

That weekly muscle is very strong still. Should we do the podcast? I thought we were doing the podcast. Oh yeah, I will definitely use some of that at the end. Okay, great. Including the sweet reveal of Ben asking me to say that he's from... People are like, that was a weird thing for Matt to say. And then I listen to him and go, oh, I get it now.

Welcome to Who Knew It and that's sure to... Sorry, that was just me coming out of your arsehole. I mean, you know, if you... Never mind. Yeah, good. Yeah, remember that. Can you put me false starting there into the extras at the end? Yeah.

Yeah, great, thank you. Can you put him false starting there into the... Just leave it like this? Just leave it as is? Yeah. Just expose him. I was just going to... For the fraudies.

For the fraudies. No, it's because I realized that you guys don't like anything political. Because I was like, oh, actually, if people started renting out their apartments for people to stay in, that would ease some of the pressure on the housing market. And you would know about that because you recently had to move house. And that probably has been a nightmare, right? But you also had to move out of Matt's butthole. You wrote for the weekly. Is it,

is it that obvious? You write for ABC shows, don't you? That's right. It is true. You know, I think it's fucked. I'm just getting into shilling yeah yeah it's fun for a while

and then you shill too much and you're like oh who am i you know ben russell i don't even know i wouldn't say that or am i metamucil man or am i fucking oh that would be good you should play ben i'm ben russell do you think i could do an ad for you yeah sure and just promote you i would have to sign off on it being the client and who's going to be the ad agency that we're going to go through i don't have a client i don't can you do an ad for coca-cola without going through coca-cola can you go hey coca-cola is a great product you know and i love it and i drink it all the time like this free advertising yeah i guess that's free advertising yeah yeah so you can do that they'd'd be into it. Sure. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I just realized you're both Americans, you know, North Americans.

Both wear glasses and have brown hair. And occasionally mustaches. That's what I thought. You also thought that they had mustaches? So very similar. Yeah. Yeah. And we both have gigantic buttholes. Yeah, like really gaping.

Yeah, not in proportion with the rest of you. No, it's a chasm. Mine's like an oval and it goes up the crack like that. You regularly butt double for each other. That's true. Mine's like, you know,

in high school when you start to learn how to draw and you draw like a hole. It looks like that. It looks like a cartoon. Yeah. Perfectly spherical. is this how you got the metamucil gig i know that was just i campaigned for it you know i said i need to be your spokesperson and i started the hashtag um let me let me do it please let me do do let me do do let me do the face that launched a thousand shits. Yeah.

Well, that's good. Did you already think about that before? I don't think that was my original joke. As a man who has never struggled to let any shits out, as you have such a huge asshole, don't you feel like it's probably not really appropriate for you to play that role? That's not actually true because, you know, sometimes I've got a really big shit.

Really? Yeah. It'd be like a bowling ball going through a golf hole, you know? Yeah. And I guess because your butthole is so big, and as I know from mine, you can wait longer before you shit. Yeah, that's right. So I build it up. That's why I've got a round tum.

Yeah. I build all the way up. Yeah. Right. Yeah, I inflate. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. I build all the way up. Yeah, right. Yeah, I inflate. Yeah. Ah. Yeah.

Like a camel. Is that what they do? Is that how they get their humps? Raewyn, do camels inflate? One hump, two hump. Yeah, I believe so. No further questions. You know, because, like, when I was growing up

and I was learning school in French, camels, what's your regular camel for you? How many humps does a regular camel have? Just one. Yeah, the dromedary. The dromedary or the bactrian, right? Yeah, that sounds right to me. Yeah.

See, when I was growing up, a regular camel had two humps. And then a dromedary was a different animal. It was just a different thing. Oh. Yeah. Interesting. In French Canadian, they're not even related. They're not even, yeah.

Genetically, they're so different in French. Wow. Yeah. Interesting. In French Canadian, they're not even related. They're not even, yeah. Genetically, they're so different in French. Wow. Yeah. Wow. So they have totally different, like there's the camel. A chamois. Yeah, a chamois. A chamois.

A chamois. And then, what's the other one? Hey, dromadaire. Which is dromedary. Really? Yeah, dromadaire. How come the Quebecois don't riot as much as the Parisian French? Riot.

Riot? Are they due after, like, the, you know, like, if the Montreal Canadiens lose or win the Stanley Cup? The hockey? Yeah. But that's it. They're a lot more docile. Well, you can see it in their comedy, you know,

like those comedy comedy those prank shows where they're just like it's sort of like mime artists and they're sort of all laughing by covering their mouths and it's normally like a woman's dress is blown up they're kind of like the Japanese of the Canada world

I feel like Quebec was like the I'm always wearing school bell outfits actually where the French sent all their perverts you know what I mean

like if you were too perverted for France yeah you went to Quebec and France is pretty I know they're pretty perverted

France is famously perverted that felt so weird to say France yeah but you said France I copied it why wouldn't I say France. Yeah. But you said France. I copied it. Why wouldn't I say France?

Why just... France. France. Yeah, yeah. France. You do have an American accent, partially. Yeah, but I was saying... So Americans say France.

France. No. Americans posh. No, it's... I'm both... It's part of the weird hybrid that is both my accent and your accent as well. I mean, but Ben also says dance and, uh,

I like to prance. Yeah. He's a prancer. And chance. Chance. Take a chance on me. Take a chance on the dance that we might prance. So,

you know. Subscribe now. Um, you're not going to... You edit these little bits out, don't you? Oh, yeah. So it's not this awkwardness. Yeah.

Well, I mean, if you say something funny, I'll put it in at the end. Yeah, right. Okay. But what are the odds of that? Yeah. How funny does it have to be? Yeah. Like it's going to be just an amusing tale?

Yeah. Can it be a witticism? Because I'm very good at that. Oh, yeah. If you can bring some can it be a witticism? because I'm very good at that if you can bring some of your ABC writing witticism skills in here let's see you ever think that the club

that they always have that fight scene at in like John Wick and Mission Impossibles and things like that do you reckon that's the same club? oh um like John Wick and Mission Impossibles and things like that. Do you reckon that's the same club? Oh. I didn't hear what you said. Okay. I'll repeat the question in my own words.

What was the question? No. Something about a pool hall. No, nothing about a pool hall. You were really, what were you thinking? No, but it was like a nightclub. No, yes, it was a nightclub. Why would it be a pool hall? Grow up. Get a club. But like with the chlorine in the air. a cult no but it was like a nightclub no yes it was a nightclub why would it be a pool hole grow up

get a with the chlorine in the air no there's no chlorine in a what nightclubs have you been into on Wellington

you know when you walk into one of those pool one of those hotels that has a pool in it

but they haven't stopped the smell no it's a nightclub have you ever been to a nightclub I don't think you have I went to Mooseheads in Canberra

that's a award show for the melbourne no no moose heads is like the is like the you know like meat market in canberra where you just go and dance and you rub up against people if you had the confidence for that if you're me you would go and just kind of like sort of you're not a confident i'm bit. No, I don't think so. Yeah. No. What is it? It was that thing where people say, you know,

they don't have to fuck a goofball. Yeah. People love to feel sorry for a minute. Oh, come on. Okay. Let's do it. There wasn't,

are we, are we done? Cause if I won't go into this story, if we're done, we're not going to, you've started it. No, I do remember there was a time in,

uh, one time when I went to, I was at uni and i went to wulingong to a friend's party and i hooked up but like kissing his housemate right and i had just come out of like a long-term relationship and then at one point she's like oh yeah i don't want to have sex because you know we're i'm out of a long-term relationship just recently as well i was like that's great because i couldn't think of something more embarrassing than somebody having to witness me having sex. But then as the night went on, she started to change.

She was like, oh, I bet you're really good at sex. And I went, I'm not. And she's like, no, I bet you aren't. I go, honestly, I'm not. Please, let's not go there. Under promise, I will deliver. I didn't know, I didn't deliver. let's not go there. Under promise, I would deliver. I didn't deliver.

That's good customer service. Under promise, don't deliver. Keep them wanting more. Keep them wanting none. Try to leave them. Keep them wanting some. I've got to see

if this guy's a liar. I imagine that she was just probably desperate. The more you said that, she would have been like, I've really got to find out now. What's he playing at here? He must be really good if he's this confident.

At being bad. Or maybe she was so bad as well, so she was like, finally. This would be perfect. Yeah. Perfect match-up. Just some of the worst. You just lie. The worst sex. You both just perfect. Yeah. Perfect match up. Just some of the worst. You just lie. The worst sex.

You both just lie. Lie next to each other. Still on top of each other. Touching hands. That actually sounds really good. Yeah, yeah. But it could have changed sex forever. You know?

It's true. I reckon actually two people who are really bad at sex actually could make really good. Yeah, it would be like punk music. Yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah. All you need is two. The mosh pit.

Two calls. You're skanking. Yeah. So it'd be like punk music. Yeah. Yeah. All you need is too cold. You're skanking. Yeah. Like a mosh pit. Standing in the room next to the bed. Jumping up against each other. This is actually fucking hot. And you know how you wrote billiard ball.

And then when you got distracted and you thought Ben talked about a pool hall, you were actually thinking of your own answer. I fucked up real bad. That's why I went chlorine. I went chlorine. I was thinking about different kind of. Yes, thank you. Yeah, I did real bad.

People would have momentarily yelled at their iPods now and they'll be probably deleting some tweets, angry tweets directed at Alistair, who supposedly is also North American. Yeah, but he's from Canada. That doesn't even count. That doesn't count as a real country. Is that what you mean?

You don't really respect them as a United States American. Yeah, they've got, like, you know, healthcare and they don't have, you know, just mass shootings every day. They've still got a fair bit of, you know, racism, but, you know, they don't have a you know just mass shootings every day and there's still a fair bit of you know racism but yeah you know they don't have movies is there they don't have movies no huh why do they call it homophobia not gay-cism are you trying out tweets on us now i'm not even responding to that. Did you just open up your notes app? Yeah, listen, we can all check our fucking...

2am notes. Let's all check our tweet draft. This is a quote from etymologist Michael Quinion. Outside medical matters, you are likely to encounter the adjective borbergmic, borbergmic, borbergmic, Outside medical matters, you are likely to encounter the adjective borbormic, which is used figuratively. Mainly, it would seem in matters related to noisy plumbing. For example, in Ada by Vladimir Nabokov, you'll find the quote, all the toilets and water pipes in the house have been suddenly seized with borbormic convulsions. Wow.

I don't know if I pronounced many of those words right. Is that an interesting fact? I think so. I don't know. Yeah? I don't think if you said that to me, like I'm trying to find some sort of interest in what you just said. If a plumber said this is bulbarigmic convulsions that you've got?

I'd be like, yeah. Get out. Maybe some of the interest comes from. You want a coffee? Maybe some of the interest comes from a coffee um maybe some of the interest comes from like hearing a new word and then you go i wonder what that word means and then you'd look it up yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you know apparently that's how you can advance your language skills wow and other languages that you listen to something just a little bit more advanced

than you are and then you kind of hear new words and you're like that's something that's why a lot of people yeah i mean that's genuinely how you learn english through um being a baby and stuff like that you just hear people talking which is what you are you're a big baby you are a big fucking baby that's why your vocabulary is so good because you're a big baby i'm a big bad baby that lives in your asshole um you know we were thinking that it... Ben, get out of there. We're doing a podcast. Get back out of there. He's got shy.

You're making me borgmarigmus all over the place. Is that... No. You're borgmarigming me crazy. Borgmarigmus? I never knew her. Remember Smelly Cat Cat that was a big that was like as big

as the Bartman that was one of the big I think Bartman was bigger personally I think they were both probably the two first bits of American pop culture that made it over to a show

do the Bartman oh yes yeah do do do do do do do do do do do do do do the Bartman that went through my head as well. What is that?

This episode's going to be all post-credits scene. It's going to be. Anyway, all right. Just get on with it, mate. If everything's going to be a post-credit, then get the fuck on with it. Well, I'm having fun. I'm enjoying.

I'm guessing you don't have anywhere to be. That's the vibe I'm getting, and I'm loving that. Just a bunch of who knew it alum having fun. Why is America So obsessed with Latin terms Like an alma mater I've heard that Yeah

That's a good bit of talking right there. That's one of our old Maddie's favourite words. Take that into my formal bit of speaking. Have a rest on the seventh day, though. I mean, he's kind of rested for the rest of the days, isn't he? He's rested since the beginning of time and then was like,

all right, this week I'm going to get to it. Yeah, but then he never does. And he's all powerful and he used so much of his little muscles that he was like, I'm tired. I'm an all-knowing, all-powerful being. Now I'm sleepy, though. Now I'm sleepy now I'm sleepy though. Now I'm sleepy. I'm sleepy.

Do you think God might be asleep? Took a mental health day. That's right. Self-care. Many health. Many health. Went into, took the God bath and lit some God candles. Like an emotional support universe.

Got a mirror, looked down there at his little God pussy. He got acquainted with his young. Yeah. The dog shit riffs are flowing fast. Have a squirt. No, but sometimes it makes me feel weird straight away. It will make you feel weird. Yeah. I don't think I could do a full squirt.

I reckon you could. I got some nicotine gum once. For the listeners, it's just, yeah, it makes it. The squirt they're talking about that might make Al feel a bit weird. It's some Nicorette spray. It's Nicorette spray. Have a little. Ready?

He can't take the hard stuff. We've already written the answers. All right, the answers are in. Which we wrote before we went on break. I just want to let everyone know that. And we did actually go on a break, everyone. We didn't stop and go do something. We've been here.

It's just a little edit point that Matt is going to put in. Matt doesn't let us take a break. Matt doesn't let us take a break. He doesn't let us take a break. Do you need a break? No. No, thank you. No, let's just. Well, it's only a short podcast.

Why would we need a break? Yeah, we've only been here for two hours. Hey, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. No one is writing their answers. Shut the fuck up. No one's. Everyone is finished. answers let's go for a quick no one is writing their answers shut up no one's no everyone is finished so what we've finished our answers let's go to a commercial break

i love that song ass worms get your big can of ass worms now. Illegally mining it using Congolese people to legally mine it. I like politics a lot. That's so fucking cool, man. That's so fucking cool, dude. That's so cool. It's the beginning of the supply chain to make your iPhones, you motherfucking. It's also why a lot of the world's supply of amber and insects in amber from like ancient sort of dinosaur era,

they can't get to to study because the amber mines are all being mined with basically slave labor. Yeah. What is that? What's amber? It's tree sap. It's tree sap. Hardened tree labor. Yeah, right. What is that? What's amber? It's tree sap. It's tree sap. Hardened tree sap. Like Jurassic Park.

Right. They mine that, though? Yeah. What for? I don't know. Bugs and stuff. They mine it for bugs and stuff. I don't know.

I don't know what they eat. It's like a precious gem. Hey, this started out with you all looking at me like, what a dumb question. But none of you have been able to answer it. I mean, I got one once. To study the insects. And I probably spent like 50.

You got one amber. Yeah, one piece of amber with a bug in it. And it probably cost me like 50 bucks. Okay, well, that's for the, that's the knick-knack market. It's the knick-knack fatty whack market. It's a big market. Big market. It's good to tap into.

Yeah. So you give your dog a bone market. What do you want from this? I just want to keep having a good time the way I am. Thank you. Ben, you're the king of improv and you seem to have forgotten about yes and. I think that's like one of the first rules of improv. Wow.

Are you ever on stage going, what do you want from this? Someone's giving you an offer, as you say. I'm on stage now saying, what do you want from this? Someone's giving you an offer, as you say. I'm on stage now saying, what do you want from this? Yeah, that's what I've... Well, this is my stage and you're spitting on it. The audience doesn't like it when we yell at each other. But actually, Yes And is very amateurish in improv. It's more, what do you want to get out of this?

That's the next level. That's the next level. You wouldn't understand. Well, you might not know this Ben but Ray when Al and I all passed level one improv about seven years ago eat that and maybe do we do level two as well

yeah we also did level two I don't think Al graduated I got part way through level two and then my baby was born and I have not had time to do it well I'm an alum of second city the annoyance and io as well as being a harold ensemble for chicago harold ensemble harold

ensemble i left because i spent a lot more money on something ridiculous than you yeah harold ensemble i thought yeah i don't know if that's a bragging thing or it's more of a confession. Gonna go follow him right now? It was just a babe. I saw that on your phone. What? Who are you looking at? This is on the browse. Oh, okay. I'm on the browse, mate. I can see what your algorithm is.

Animals? Mate, there's nothing wrong with having mice in think actually that is yeah that's actually i have no uh it was just at the very top yeah i think it just automatically look there's abs there just automatically will give you some yeah there's a couple nipples and everything i have a an account that i followed that was like how to artist and it was like showing you how to draw and then it's it's been taken over by some scam thing and it's not just like showing you machines that they stick to a window that suck your dick or whatever.

And I'm like, jeez. This is how you be an artist. But you can't unfollow now. I keep going, I keep going, I should unfollow, but I go, these are actually fun to see. I don't know how far technology can come. I'm actually I didn't know how far technology had come I'm actually very proud I don't really

I don't follow any big titty instagirls at all or anything I'm very paranoid about it because people can see what you follow Oh yeah of course That's why you've got a second account I don't actually have a second account So you're not doing it for any kind of like moral reasons It's like that
