Hello, it's year 2024 and I'm here to tell you that we're doing a live 100th episode, August the 3rd at Comedy Republic in Melbourne. It's going to be so much fun. Tickets are going quick, so grab them now. Welcome to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart, the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart, and our first guest is host of Good Tucker at Surinjai Mana. Hello. So good to have you back. It's great to be back.

You've probably taken over Dave Warnocky as like the most regular of guests now. I thought, I didn't know if Dave, I thought it was me already. No, I mean you were been on since the first episode. Yeah. Well, I could do a fact check there, but. Don't need to.

I think you two are at one and two. Okay, great. Our second guest this week is host of the Deathbed comedy show here in Brunswick in Melbourne. It's Rae Wynn Pickering. Hello Thank you, which is it's the first Wednesday every month. It was it was last night. It was a great Don't talk about it as last night This was my mind and then it'll be the next first Wednesday of the month and the next one after that. You're dating this podcast, which... I didn't say what month that was.

It could have been any month. People might listen to it on the first Thursday of the month. Yeah, they'll be like, wow. I bloody hope they are, because otherwise we sound ridiculous. It sounds like amateur hour here. Bringing a weird energy early, sorry. And our third guest this week is a first timer. He's the co-writer slash co-director of the new Aussie hit film, The Great Amy Wars, Jay Morrissey.

Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. And it's an honour. Oh, it's an honour to have you on, Jay. And there's big screenings happening this week at the time of release of the show. I don't know what Ray wants. He can date it, but I don't know what Ray wants. He can date it, but I can't.

Just a couple. Well, you're dating it to the recording time, he's dating it to the release time. It's entirely different. So it's I think it's in Melbourne. Yeah, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Tassie, Geelong. All the great, all the great areas. And how would people find it if they want to get tickets? At Umbrella.

UmbrellaEntertainment.com, Emuwar or... A bit of Googling. Yeah, a bit of Googling. The Emuwar. Yeah, no, it's a... The stars are few. Movies near me? Yeah.

Yeah, a couple. Yeah. A few previous guests from the show appear in it, including Ben Russell and Dane Simpson. Movies near me? Yeah. Would that turn up? Yeah. Yeah, a couple. Yeah. A few previous guests from this show appear in it, including Ben Russell and Dane Simpson. Was that your casting process? Yeah, no, I just went through the pod. Yeah, exactly.

Episode by episode, yeah. It's actually, we did, this is a spin-off podcast from Duke of Odin, which is a show I've been doing for years, and one of my early episodes was telling the story of the Great Emu War. Yeah, no, I listened to it. It's great. Oh, yeah. Did it did that inform your writing of the film? The whole thing off. Word for word. All the rips.

If you haven't seen it, man, it's like, yeah. You have a cameo in it as well. Yeah, did that make that make the cut? Yeah, yeah, it did. So I recorded that in here, I think. Yeah, no, it was great. So you play a voice an emu. Yeah, so an emu stepfather. So it's like the role I was born to play.

The scene is that like Aaron Gough's, I don't know whether he's been on the pod. He hasn't. He's hard to get. I've asked him before, but he's he's hard to pin down. So, yeah, anyway, he's like he's a character in the he plays a character in the film who has an emu son and And and then and he's dropping he's dropping off his emu son with his emu stepdad Like and you're the emu stepdad if you I mean you probably

I mean, you probably. This is for the listener. You remember. Yeah, I remember. I definitely remember vividly. But yeah, I'm so stoked it's finally coming out. You've been working on it for years. Yeah, God. And it did it win an award at its first festival?

Yeah, yeah, it won best film at the Monsterfest. That's the one you want to win. Yeah. Yeah. Not bad. Not bad. Best film. So good. But it to win. Yeah. Yeah. Not bad. Not bad. Best film. So good.

But it was great. It was great. I think it was the full title of the award was Best Film Adapted from a Podcast. Yeah. It was crazy. They gave us like a statue and then and then we gave it back to them, the people who do the- Oh, like the engraving?

Yeah. No, yeah. They said it was for the engraving, but then they were like, no, we only have one. Because we're giving it out the next year. So anyway, it's like a pretty prestigious award. See, it didn't even happen. You have a photo of it on your mantle. Yeah, I mean, I have the memories and no one can take it away from me in the non-physical sense.

Yeah, that technology doesn't exist yet, but so exciting. So stoked that it's happening. You didn't get a nom for Best Amy, obviously? Well, not as far as I'm aware, but I also, for some reason, because there was, I don't think Schuster ever replied to me once I sent through the audio. I just assumed, I said, let me know if there's any notes you want me to do it again.

Never heard it again. He just kind of never received it. So I'm like, I guess it probably never got used. No, no, no. It was great. I'm on the big screen. And another big moment here is we're reuniting. Raewyn probably was a big fan growing up of bollard comedy, which of course was Jane Soren's. Oh my god. Was that a festival show? Yeah, it's called Hashtag Ballard. Yeah.

Which is the... And it was a split show. The world... I mean, you know, people are screaming for it. It's a bit... It was a bit like... Set the world alight. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, one of the great shows. Yeah. You know what I mean? He did some over my comedy, I did some over my comedy. And, you know, my god, everyone loved it. And I would just like to point out one of us still does some open mic comedy. One of us makes award-winning films.

Yeah. So they're both pretty cool. Both pretty cool. No, there was some film work in the show. Some of the best sketches, I reckon. Oh, yeah. Circuit 2013. They're both pretty cool. There was some film work in the show. Some of the best sketches, I reckon, circa 2013. Yeah, they still exist online or on Facebook somewhere. Probably one of them.

Anyway, this has been a long drawn out intro. Let me tell you how the show works. 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. And the first question comes from listener Lewis Ballstone from Leeds, but originally Doncaster, which makes sense as the question is, what does the local Doncaster phrase, sock on, mean? What does the local Doncaster phrase stock on mean? Just want to get Lewis's

name right. It says Lewis Foulstone in brackets foul like soul. Oh, Foulstone. Lewis Foulstone I reckon. So sorry Lewis. 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 guess the answer. And by the way I'm also playing as the house, put into a momentary answer for each question with the help of the question writers and we, collectively as the house, get a point for each one that our guests choose. I say we, me and the question writers, whatever. So each of us can score up to three

points per round, which seems fair, but the probability actually favors me. The house and the house, well to be honest, really nearly never wins. So another thing, just saving things up a little bit with the others, they all get triple points in the final round. Anyway, our questions come from our great Patreon supporters. If you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com slash to go on Podlinked in the show notes. All right. The answers are in for question number one. What does the local Doncaster phrase sock on mean? To carry an emergency pair of socks should sogginess befall your initial pair.

Beautifully written. In a deep sleep. A lock in a sock to be used as a weapon. Whoa. A street fight to settle an argument between the town's two football teams, Doncaster United and the Doncaster Codgers. To cover up in the event of poor weather. Is a little example.

A tornado's coming. Get your sock on. Or finally refers to a situation where someone is bad at thinking on their feet, which is quite common in Doncaster. Example, hey, don't worry. Nobody expects you to figure out the answer. Just sock on. Okay.

Rae, when do you want to have first dibs here? I do like just mentioning that there was a team codges, but I feel like that's not the correct answer Sorry, I don't get the first one But where it would honor wait no not that one the second one in a deep sleep No To be used as a weapon

Yeah, I think it was that one. Okay. it would be wild if don't if don't cast I had its own expression for a deep sleep Yeah, yeah, just common parlance only in don't cast. They're not in Heidelberg or we don't you don't Okay, oh they might and then in what like Like how would you use it like oh, yeah, I had a real sock on last night. For a deep sleep. Yeah, it'd be like I tied a sock on, maybe. But then that would be the phrase. Yeah.

Wait, but what's an Australian phrase for having a sleep? We probably, do we have an- Have a kip. Kip, yeah, that'd all be from America or England, I'm guessing. Kip's like a nap. Yeah, so yeah, that's why- Deep sleep I'm guessing. Kip's like a nap. Yeah. So, yeah, that's why I'm deep sleep. It's like everything would be from America or England. And it wouldn't be that regionally.

What did Waltzing Matilda do in his tucker bag when he waltzed down? He sang and he walked. Sang and he walked. Are they ours? Are they ours? What do you think, Jay? What was the weather one? The weather one. Cover up in the event of poor weather. Tornadoes come and get your sock on.

Don't make him think on his feet. You couldn't possibly ask him to sock on. No, you can't sock on when you're already on your feet. You've got to be sitting down to do that. Sock on, sock off. And then the first one. Sorry, just one more time. The first one was, to carry an emergency pair of socks,

should sogginess befall your initial pair? I'm gonna go with the first one I said. The weather one. The weather one, okay, locking that in. Just quickly, I just Googled, because I wanted to get the lyrics for What's in My Tilda and the first result that Autofills is What's in My Tilda, a song by Andre Rieu. If he's going around Austria claiming that as his own, then there should be trouble.

It is a great Austrian classic. That just leaves you, Saran. I also appreciate the Doncaster Codges, and so I'm going to lock that in. I feel like the first half of that is true, and the only thing throwing me off would be that the Doncaster colleges is such a funny name. Yeah. Also you have to, it's Doncaster England. It's not Doncaster.

Yeah. Everyone needs to get that through their heads. They're fighting enough that they would have a phrase for it. Yeah, of course. I feel like, well, those like local sports matches in England, they always get fired up. Don't they? Yeah. There's a lock in the sock.

Just another sock on on the weekend. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you got to go down to the match. There might be a sock on. Oh, actually, that does sound pretty good. You've convinced me. Yeah, that was like the Rockham Sockham. Yeah. That's, you know, sockham in the mouth is a fighting sort of term. Rockham to him.

All right, here's the road. The answers to carry an emergency pair of socks should sogginess before your initial pair, which is beautifully written. That was Lewis, I care the house. Situation where someone is bad at thinking on their feet. That was Saran. I don't know. I wish you improved that. I wish we'd workshop that that together because it would have been funny to be like,

so you have to sit down to put the sock on. Anyway. Next. Should we go again? Yeah. I feel disappointed in my own answer. To cover up in the event of bad weather, that was Jay's guess. That was Raiwen. Raiwen went for a lock in a sock to be used as a weapon. That was Jay. Oh man. So we just cancel each other out.

No, you both get one. Like you go ahead of me and Saran. It's not really cancelling each other. Yeah, we're just both ahead of you, Jay. Yes. For a moment, because Saran picked a house one, Street Fighter settled an argument. Yes, I made up the Doncaster codger. And that means that in a deep sleep is correct.

It's such a bizarre phrase, my brain can't wrap around it. Because it like you use it like to say, there's an example on Urban Dictionary that says, didn't hear you come in last night, must have been sock on. And I'm only just now thinking is that you're so deep in sleep you forgot to even take your socks off. Take your socks off. I never clocked that until just then. You think it'd be shoe on. People don't wear socks when they fall asleep?

Maybe that sock on means shoe off. Just sock on, shoe off, I'll sleep in the bed. I wear socks, nah, I don't tend to wear socks. Oh. I wear them from the start. Okay, I wear them all the time. Kick them off. Our little gremlin comes and takes them.

You got one, I'll forget, you got a little pet gremlin. So that means everyone but Serene gets a point that round. Jay, you won't know this, but that is pretty standard stuff. Nice. Okay, no good. I'm still excited though. So here is question number two. This comes from Dearanee from Colorado in the United States.

And the question is, what is the name of the dinosaur that was listed at number eight on ThoughtCo's 10 Worst Dinosaur Names list. You just got to come up with a... Dinosaur name. What Thoughtco thinks is one of the worst dinosaur names. That's a dinosaur I've never heard of. I assume you wouldn't have either while you're writing your answers. Yeah, this is that Urban Dictionary entry. Angel Guy writes, Using Yorkshire, mainly Doncaster, means to be in a deep sleep. And Lewis, the question writer, wrote,

Being from Doncaster and subsequently leaving because there's nothing there, I've never encountered anyone outside of Doncaster who knew this term. It is always met with a confused look and it requires explanation. Yeah. Which is like, yeah, like even out, like it's even, you know, in the same county. Yeah. By the sounds of it. I must have been in such a deep sleep. I couldn't come up with an appropriate phrase. Hmm.

All right. Question number two, answers are in. What is the name of the dinosaur that was listed at number eight on Thought Co's, the 10 Worst Dinosaur's Names List? name of the dinosaur that was listed at number eight on thought codes. The ten worst dinosaurs names list. Borosaurus, Water T-Rex, Roxanne, Pantydrako, Trout Raptor or Doncaster Codgosaurus. Borosaurus, Water T-Rex, Roxanne, Pantydrako, Trout Raptor or Doncaster Codgosaurus? Hmm, up to you, Jay, what do you think? All of them, except the Trout Raptor. I mean, Trout Raptor is pretty funny too.

No, it's stupid, but I was like, Trout Raptor, that's probably, now I say it out loud, it's really tickled me. Yeah, no, I'm still going to go with it. That's probably- now they say it out loud. That's- that really tickled me. Yeah, no, I'm still going to go with it. Trout wrapped up. Okay. Welcome home for Jay. What do you think, Srin? Uh, the- what was the water T-Rex?

Ah, water T-Rex. Yeah, I think it's the water T-Rex. It is a bad dinosaur. But it would- It's like a T-Rex, but we reckon it could swim sort of thing. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But there's like a lack of imagination. It's bad for that reason, yeah.

What do you think Rowan? I guess I'd go the Borosaurus. Borosaurus. I mean, hmm. That's like the Northern Lights, isn't it? Yeah. That's probably where they might have discovered it under the Northern Lights. All right, look at that for Rowan.

Here's who wrote the answers. Doncaster Codgosaurus is Sarenne, who is playing to win this week, by the way. Roxanne was Rowan. Aurasaurus, Rowan went for that. That was the house. Oh, Water T-Rex, Saram went for that. That was Jay. Yes.

Gotcha. The Trout Raptor, which Jay went for. That was Dear Annie, the question writer, aka the house, meaning the correct answer is Pantydrako. Oh, ah. It is. That's the best dinosaur name. That's amazing. I think it, according to Thoughtco, it translates to the Panty Dragon.

Yeah, that's the best one. Yeah, that's so good. Yeah. No, I think you're right. I think they've got- Panty Draco, and that's a real stretch. They're like, apparently this means the Panty Dragon. Yeah, it's pretty- Yeah, I think it's pretty straight forward. Very strong pelvis.

I get that's what it means. Can you tell me why? It's named, it's actually named after a quarry in Wales where it was discovered, which is like, I don't know how to pronounce it, but it's like panty, you know, it's F's and lots of letters, which they do with words over there. Not like here, very efficient. All right. So, wow. Two points to house that round and one point to the J.

Yes. Oh, my God. So after two rounds, the scores are Saran on zero, Rowan on one, J on two, but out in front on three points, it's the house. Here is question number three, comes from Paul McNally from Waterford in Ireland. Question is what unique toy was released by the AC Gilbert Company in America in 1950? What unique toy was released by the AC Gilbert Company in America in 1950? While you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more Company in America in 1950. While you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more about this panty dragon.

According to ThoughtCo, it says, okay, you can stop laughing now, which we have. Says the panty dragon or panty Draco was named not after a tantalising piece of women's lingerie. Tantalising. The pant not after a tantalising piece of women's lingerie. Tantalising? The panty's so tantalising. But the Pantyphinonchorion Wales, where its fossil was discovered. This dinosaur's name is apposite in at least one way.

Pantydrako, a close relative of the Condontosaurus, measured about six feet long and weighed 100 pounds pounds about the dimensions of your average supermodel. So strange. What a strange article. What they don't say there though is that the the dinosaur wasn't named after the tantalising panty but the quarry might have fed. Yes, that's right. The Welsh quarry. That might have been where they make them. Yeah. That's where they were discovered. Here are Yeah. Yeah. Ah, here are the... Do you want me to go through the top ten? I don't think any of them are that bad, particularly.

Got... Uberobation. Sinasonas. Sinasonasus. Okay. Pantydrako, number eight. Number seven. Piatnetschosaurus. Uh, number six.

Opistocolliclaudia. I mean, some of them are just like mouthfuls. Monoclonius is number five. That's sick, I reckon. What criteria are they using to... I mean, they've got similar paragraphs like that. Pretty witty stuff after each one. It would be so annoying.

I just, while you were listing those, I was just like, God... Because dinosaurs are awesome. Yeah. But then, like, you have to... You'd have to be in the politics of the naming and like all, like the other archaeologists would suck. Like, you can just see that as a job, that would be way worse. Yeah. Just want to find a dinosaur.

The number one one they reckon is the worst is Bechel Spinax. They're all fine. I was really disappointed. That's why Pantydrako stood out as the most interesting of them, which is why I imagine Dirani picked it. I think it's fun. I think Soran says it's the probably the best dinosaur name I've ever heard. You can create your own story with Pantydraker. Yeah. And it definitely involves tantalising panties. Tantalising? Who wrote that article? I think they're probably... Sport.co, more like lack of... I reckon they're very active, you know, in the boudoir. I reckon they're definitely. Because they had a lot of the lingo down.

Tana. Oh, he's tantalising. All right, answer in for question number three. What unique toy was released by the A.C. Gilbert Company in America in 1950? A doll in yellow clothes. The first non-gender specific doll for kids. Guessing there were non-gender specific doll for kids. Guessing there were non-gender specific dolls for adults before then.

Option two, an oven. Option three, a false arm that was soon discontinued after the mob started using it to transport contraband. A home atomic energy lab encouraging kids to experiment with radiation themselves. The AC Gilbertron, a semi-automatic rifle, or a pig that was alive that the children would kill and butcher themselves. We've come up with the best idea for a new toy.

It's that pig over there. That pig? Ah, it's a different time. 1950 in America. You know, you could still sell live pigs as toys. Not anymore. PC culture gone mad. Alright, Seren, you're first up. Oh, um... Do you think yellow was a gender neutral colour? In 1950? In 1950. Is that why it's the first gender neutral?

Is the yellow significant to that? I think it's because it's not pink or blue. Yeah. Yeah, I reckon that. I'm looking at that. Looking at it in force, Aran. What do you think, Rowan? Um, can I just give them quickly?

Doll in yellow clothes an oven False arm that the mob started using home atomic energy lab. Oh that one. Yes the radiation one. Okay What do you think Jay? I think the mob toy. Yeah, that seems like a real answer Here's who wrote the answers. I thought the realest one of all was the pig that was alive one. But that was Jay from the beautiful mind of Jay Morrissey. The semi-automatic rifle was Saran. And oven, so succinct was Ray Wain.

Really wrapped my beautiful brain around this question. I think listeners who are familiar with your work would have been so sure you were the pig one. The pig one, yeah. I'm really trying to deviate from that. Raywin, I don't know if you know, she's got a day job working on a farm and she grew up on a farm. So in previous episodes, there's been a lot of barnyard animals.

It was too animal heavy to the point that people could pick whatever answer. I didn't realize it was that obvious but apparently... Did I say yellow clothes? Yellow clothed doll. Saram went for that. That was Paul, okay the house. Well done Paul. The false arm used by the mob. Jay went for that. That was also the house. Many Rants, correct? That's a home one. The false arm used by the mob. And Jay went for that. It was also the house. Many rounds correct? That's a home atomic energy lab. Although that's pretty sad.

How many kids were exposed to radiation? It's so sad they don't let kids have them anymore. Yeah. Wow. So it was a real toy. It was a real toy. That's crazy. Those kids would have been better off with a pig.

They would have learned some life skills. Yeah amazing, I'll tell the listeners a bit more about it while you're writing your next answer which comes from Bry Stafford from Oxnard in CA which is either California or Canada I think. So Bry's question is, what was the name of the Italian boxer in the 1984 Nintendo arcade game Punch Out? What was the name of the Italian boxer in the 1984 Nintendo arcade game Punch Out? And while you're writing your answers, here's a little bit more info about that toy.

According to Paul, he writes, I work in radiation science in a hospital and I'm very aware about how careful you need to be around radiation. So I love learning about these sorts of wildly reckless products and trying to understand how the feck they, like the Irish, how the feck they were allowed to be made. The Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory was classed as the second most dangerous toy ever released behind lawn darts. Lawn dart? What's lawn darts? You try to throw the dart in the lawn. Yeah, that's wilder. Lawn darts can't be more,

how's that more dangerous than a home radiation kit? Lawn darts is a game for two players or teams. Lawn darts that usually includes four large darts and two targets. And yeah, you play it on the lawn. Hmm. Um. Oh. Yeah, kids have died from them. Alright, um, fair enough. While you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick

break. Alright, we're back back here is question four. What was the name of the Italian boxer in the 1984 Nintendo arcade game punch out Luigi fistolo rocky ravioli. Sony, Professor Stromboli Canoli or Pizza Pasta. So, yeah, I think whatever it was, it was pretty respectful. I'm not going to say which one I'm not going to spoil or say which one I did, but I was going to write almost exactly one of the other ones. All right, so I think, Rae, when we're back to you.

Oh, um, when was it? 1984. Okay. When was it? 1984. OK, that's because I feel like I was going to go. I like the Mickey Tyson, but that's probably before Mike Tyson. Right. Yeah, I'm trying to be clever about it. It is clever. Maybe. And then the other one was a Rocky. So that would have been before.

That has to be one of the pasta ones, I guess. What was the professor? I can tell you Mike Tyson made his boxing debut in March of 1985. Whoa. Pretty close. But what we don't know about Mike Tyson is whether that's his original name. He started out in a video game. That was his first professional.

He was an amateur arcade game boxer before that with his Italian birth date. Micchiettasone. So what do you think? Did you ask for a quick recap? Yeah, quick. Luigi Fistolo, Rocky Ravioli, Bobbio Evio, Mickey Tassoni, Professor Stromboli Canoli, or Pizza Pasta. I can, sorry Jay, I'm one quarter Swiss Italian so I can do the voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, very good. Um.

So I know what you're like. I know what you're like. Always canceling welly milly. Absolutely. No, no, you got onto it. No, I was. I could see you below the desk writing an email. You've got the taste for blood ever since you were a kid and you were given pigs for Christmas.

Which I was told was a common toy that all the kids were playing with. I could see, yeah, I could see someone like them send in a pig home and being like that, being the toy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, they should. They should. I've just realised Bobby, what is it? Bobby-o-Wivio. So that's like a...

That's quite clever, isn't it? Bob and Weave. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think they're all very clever. Strong Bollock and Oli, come on. He's a professor. Pizza, pasta.

They have two kinds of famous Italian foods. Then you got Rocky Ravioli. Rocky a boxer. Ravioli, Italian dish. Luigi, famous Italian name, Fistola. You might see hidden in there. Fist, which is something that boxers use. So. Steps to all of these. I think they're all pretty clever. I wouldn't be honing in on a single one of these.

What do you want to lock in, Ray? Maybe the, the, the Bobby Weavey one. Bobby, Bobby-o-Weavey-o. Let's go that one. Bobby-o-Weavey-o. What do you think, Jay? The Ravioli one. Rocky Ravioli. I really want it to be pizza pasta,

so I'm going to lock in Professor Strombolo. Going to lock in Strombolo? Yep. All right, lock in for Saran. Can you tell us which one, Jay, you had? Um, you said one was really close to what you were going to do? The Ravioli one I was finding. The one you picked.

Rocky Ravioli. I feel like, I think I had even typed out Ravioli for one of the names and I was just like, I can do something else here. You can cook it, like cook it, or you can get something else. And then, yeah, I ended up doing what I did and I'm very happy with it. So, I got it in Professor Strombolo. So, uh... Oh my god, he did Professor Strombolo. So, Raywin, you were right about, um, Mickey Tyson.

He was just not quite being in date, and I didn't check it because I did write that. That was The House. Uh, Luigi Fistolo was Raywin. Rocky Ravioli, Jay went for. That was actually Bry, okay, The House. Well done. Bobby O'Weevio, which, Seren, you pointed out as being pretty interesting. Ryan would pick that and you wrote it. I bet you did.

I was wondering whether it was a tactic. But then I could not figure out which of the other ones would have been true. A little bit of instant karma because Saran did pick Jay's Professor Stromoli Canoli Meaning and you also zigged when you should have zagged. It was pizza pasta. Jay has has obviously spent a lot of time leafing through Italian menus because you not only did you know ravioli, but you also know stromoli and cannoli. And professor.

I love the idea of the box today called the professor though. That's what it sold me on it. It was from Molly Canale, it wouldn't have been enough. He had to have it. Yeah. But you were so close. Professor with the last five. So it was Pizza Pasta.

Pizza Pasta. What? Yeah, Pizza Pasta. That was the character's thing. That's the real character's thing. Mr. Pasta. Is it like Pete? I thought that was the give up from one of you two.

It's just the literal words Pizza Pasta. Crazy. Yeah, right? That was a give up from one of you two. It's just the literal words, pizza and pasta. And yeah, I think it was from the, I think they were the Japanese creators from Nintendo. And they said the creator of the game, Genyo Takada, in his interview in 2009 when the Wii title came out, he said the box's name, quote, means that he sticks around in his heart to beat down while former president, that's what he says, beat down against the base and former president of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, explained further saying, you know, like the way cheese on a pizza is sticky.

So that's how they came up with the name. It was just coincidence. Feels like a real they've gone, fuck, we got to explain. This is a little on the nose. All right. So question number five comes from Steven Groom from Wakefield in West Yorkshire. The question is, what did New York Yankees pitchers Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich do at a party in 1973?

What did New York Yankees pitchers Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich do at a party in 1973? While you're writing your answers, let me tell the listeners a little bit more about pizza pasta. According to Brie, though the Punch-Out series is known for having some questionable national stereotypes, pizza pasta, who hails from Italy, was fortunately never used again in any subsequent games. And this will help some listeners out who haven't connected the dots. The Punch-Out fandom cites trivia, writes, quote,

His name is a reference to Italian food. There you go. That was a good little, that was a fun fact. Regional specific. Yeah, I think of it, yeah. Just a local little dish. So funny. Oh, OK. Oh, yeah.

The answers are in for question number five. What did New York Yankees pitchers Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich do at a party in 1973? Option one, they permanently swapped wives. Option two, both drunk, they agreed to buy the restaurant which the Seinfeld Cafe would later be based on. They blended up and drank the game ball from their win that day against the Detroit Tigers. They yelled meow when two women nearby were having a tense argument, then high fived each

other. During a game of spin the bottle, both Yankees players made it to home base, which is something worth celebrating for baseball players who traditionally are satisfied with oral. Or they learn to have fun, or they learn that to have fun, you have to make your own fun. Beautiful. And yeah, that's been documented for history. So, Jay, we're up to you. Permanently swap wives, bought the Seinfeld Cafe, drank the ball, high fived and set me out about two women having a fight,

made it to home base, playing spin the bottle or learnt that they have to make your own fun. I want them to swap wives permanently, that'd be funny and I hope it's true. OK. And even if it's not true, it's never too late. Yeah, if they're listening. Fritz and Mike. Yeah, make your own fun. Yeah. And swap wives.

What do you mean drank the ball? Can you say that one again? They blended up and drank the game ball from their win that day against the Detroit Tigers. Guess they blended up in it. What do you think is in the ball? Is it plastic? I think it's like string and stuff, isn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, I don't think it'd be a good thing to do. Maybe swapping wives might not be either. I'm guessing it's leather on the outside as well. Yeah. I don't think it's that. Just as an out of trivia, like it seems like an interesting trivia thing that they bought the cafe that became monks. So I'm going to say, yeah, the cafe one.

Okay, locking that in the Siren. You've even added a little detail of the monks part there. That's the cafe that became the sign, cafe. Yes. Yeah. Is monks the real cafe? No, monks the fictional one and the real one's... Tom's?

Tom's. Oh, which is such a weird thing because it says... Does the establishing shot always have the name and they call it something else? No, they cut the Tomoms out and just says restaurant. But it's Toms restaurant. That's right. Okay. A clever piece of cropping. That's clever cropping. That is a clever piece of cropping. The iconic crops. Yeah. Fort Coe will do the ten iconic crops. What about you, Rowan? Um, I reckon it might be the bull being blended up.

All right, lock item for Rowan. What about you, Jay? Oh, I didn't... Oh, you've started. I'm just gonna keep losing around. What a change in... All right, here's... We wrote the answers. Man, here's the answers. Man, that's so funny.

I couldn't remember what happened two minutes earlier. But I'm here. I'm present. I'm enjoying myself. Hell yeah, dude. It's good. Anyway, Jade, do you want to tell us which one you want? But before we move on, we will need you to lock in an answer, Jade. They swap wires, right? Okay, interesting. need you to lock in an answer, Jay. The day swap wide.

Okay, interesting. Yep, lock that in for Jay. It is permanent. You can't go back on it. All right, here's the right the answers. They learned that to have fun, you have to make your own fun. That was Jay. I'm not happy with it.

I panicked. Can we just say, if you want to see more of that great writing on the big screen, the great Amy Walker. Yeah, yeah, that's a very good... It's just a lot like that answer. After 95 minutes, whatever. Spin the bottle where they made it to home base, which was worth celebrating because baseball players traditionally satisfied with oral. That was Saran. They yelled meow when two women nearby were having a tense argument

and then high fived each other. That was Raewyn. They blended up and drank the game ball. Raewyn went for that. That was the house. They bought the Seinfeld Cafe while drunk. That was Stephen, OK, at the house. Meaning the correct answer is they permanently swapped wives. Yes. while drunk that was Stephen okay at the house made a correct answer is they permanently swapped wives that's it anyway yeah these ball players

did the wives agree to it i guess they were involved but i guess they just weren't as famous as the baseballers more a a party talk. Wow. Bit of bonus trivia, you know, Steph Curry, the basketball player. Yeah. His mum and his dad. Wait, how does that work? Oh, no, there was another couple, his mum and dad and another couple, like, swapped. Like, they did that recently. Oh, wow.

Oh, recently. Yeah. So like, Steph Curry is like a famous player in the NBA and then his parents have swapped like with another couple. Oh, wow. Pretty fun. That's fun. Yeah. Fun little fact for the pod. I think it'd be...

What a great, like... I did, knowing that, really inform your decision that it's like, oh, I've heard of this happening. Yeah, this is classic American sports. I had fun hearing that fact and I was like, I can have fun in the future when this fact becomes a fact. Do you think that would help them? That would have been a selling point to the other couple.

These two made an all time great. Yeah, I think so. I mean, are they still in birthing, like, you know, like a thoroughbred racehorse or something? You go, yeah, we want to get, you know, what they're thinking. They're like, I want to have a kid. But it would also have either application seats to the games. That's right. Like an audience with the man himself. Yeah, the man himself.

He's so annoying to Steph Curry now he's got to organise four seats. That's the man himself. If he's so annoying for Steph Curry, now he's got to organise four seats. Yeah. That's a fun fact. That's a fun fact. Alright, two rounds to go. Here are the scores. Seren's on one point. Raywin's on two points. Jay's on four points.

But out in front on eight points, it's the house. House has not had a win for, I reckon, nearly two months. It's really unfunny. You are, you three are making the house look pretty good. Here is question number six. This from Emmy White from Albuquerque, New Mexico. And the question is, what was unusual about the death of Siamese royal Queen Sananda Kamariratnana? Kamariratnana. What was unusual about the death of this Siamese queen?

And while you're writing those answers, let me tell you more about the wife swap. According to Steven, both players were frequently roommates on the road, and their families mingled quite a bit as a result. After a typically 1973 party, I don't know what that means. It's a typically 1973 party this one though according to Steven, at a sports writer Maury Allen house, Peterson, Kekich and their wives decided to keep the party going and for fun decided to drive each other's spouses to the restaurant to see how things would go. One couple went straight to the restaurant while the other took two and a half hours. Bear with directions. Eventually all four parties realise they are falling in love with the other spouse and they decide

to make the switch permanent after a few months. Kekich and Peterson packed their bags and moved into the other guy's house. Both guys had kids and dogs, but we don't know how they felt about all this. Fritz Peterson remains married to this day to his partner from the wife swap, whereas Mike Kekich would later divorce. They had, I didn't realise that, they had kids and dogs. Oh. Like a full swap, I guess. Well, they swapped their families. Wait. No no but how did that does it who could go with hey yeah no I mean they didn't swap the families but if you swap then you're swapping the families right whoever moved into the other

houses yeah yeah you're gonna have to keep saying each other and you're gonna mmm that's crazy episode of that wife swap it never goes well well. Right. Like it is so, I would be surprised. Let's design that way a bit though, isn't it? Don't they get couples from different sides of the tracks sort of thing? Yeah. Sounds like these were all from the same side of the tracks, the baseball side. Answering for the second last question here, question number six. What was unusual about the death of Siamese royal Queen Sunanda Kamaratana. Her nephew ran the country

secretly for months using her corpse in a Weekend at Bernie's pretend she's alive fashion. She went to heaven, decided it wasn't for her because hell is more her style. She won the first documented hot dog eating competition, but later died when her stomach exploded. Her human body was never found, so it is believed she took the form of the first Siamese breed of cat. She was struggling in the water, but as touching a member of the royal family was punishable by death, no one saved her. Or the most unusual thing about the death of this Siamese royal was the way her name was pronounced by a podcast host nearly approximately 124 years later. Nearly approximately. That's good writing, whoever did that.

All right. So we are up to Jay, are we? No, Saran. What do you reckon, Saran? Well, I do think that last one is true. I don't know if it's the reason that the person would have sent this in. So I reckon that, yeah, maybe I think I'm going to lock in the one that where she was drowning, but it's like bad custom to try and touch a royal, so no one helped her.

Locking that in for Saran. What do you think, Rowan? in what that lock in that one in for saran what do you think rae-won? um what was the first? first one uh weekend at bernie's. yes that one. rae-won what do you think jay? i was gonna say the weekend of bernie's one too but no i'll stick with that. okay it comes up a lot on this pod, I feel. Every other week there's a weekend at Bernie's.

Well, Day wouldn't know. That is his first time on. Yeah. So don't talk him out of it. All right, here's the right the answers. Most unusual thing about the death is the podcast host nearly approximately 124 years later mispronouncing it. That was Sarand.

And it is nearly approximately Because it's exactly 124 years later, which is nearly approximate She went to heaven, decided it wasn't for her because hell is more her style, which is so badass Possibly true, but that was also written by Jay Hot dog eating competition, no nibbles on that one. That was the house. The human body was never found, believed to be the first Siamese breed of cat.

That was Raewyn, Weekend at Bernie's style. That was Emmy, okay, the question writer. Okay, the house. Two more points for the house there, meaning Seren's right. Whoa. She died because people weren't allowed to touch her. Oh, wow. Both her and her twin.

Did you know that? No. Siamese twin took me a second there. I just said I thought someone- I didn't write a Siamese twin thing because I thought someone else would and then Noah's doing it. Or Raven with the cat. That's the other classic Siamese, I guess. True.

It's just like a Smashing Pumpkins album as well, maybe? No. Do they have an album called Siamese Dream? I might be making that up. I don't know. I feel like, you know, you're like when you were- when I was trying to formulate an answer, you're like in the stromboli cannoli sort of mindset. You're like, no, no, no, no, no, not that, no, no.

You're batting away from all the different, like, terrible ideas coming into your head anyway. Use your imagination, I guess. So, Saran, you get a point there. House gets two points. We're going to the final round and you will have some work to do because the house is way out in front, but it's still technically anyone's game because it's triple points this round for you three. So if one of you sweeps the board you will win.

Jay doesn't even need to do that and he can level. So here, do you want the scores? It's Seren and Rowan on 2, Jay on 4, but the house on 10 points. Final question comes from Paul Mellor from Oldham in the UK and Paul's question is what is the synopsis of the 1980 film The Changeling? What is the synopsis of the 1980 film The Changeling? So, Jay, for this one you want to write like a, this will be your longest answer, with three, four, five sentences, like a chunky paragraph sort of thing.

Cool. While your answers are being written, here's some more info about the Queen's death. According to history collection dot com, Princess Sananda Kamararatana was born on the 10th of November 1860 and was the daughter of Rama IV or King Mongkut and his princess consort, Piam. It was in the land of Siam, which is now known as Bangkok, Thailand. An ancient Siamese law stated that no commoner was to touch a member of the royal family under pain of immediate death. This law may have been rooted in superstition, religious belief, or an ancient tradition whose origins are no longer known. This law applied to Queen Sunanda and ultimately led to her untimely demise

at the age of just 19. Another Siamese tradition stated that you should never try to rescue a drowning person. I think she was all out of luck there. This tradition may be found in well-formed logic because if you venture out into dangerous waters and are not an exceptionally skilled swimmer you may die too. However, Siamese believe that if you try and rescue a person who is drowning, then even if you do survive, the river will

come back and claim your life as a substitute for the one that you snatched it from. If a royal person were drowning, he or she would undoubtedly be doomed. That is, if the river didn't take the one who tried to save him or her, the law would mean that the potential savior would be killed. And the question writer, Emi, writes, I took and passed the bar exam, a lawyer licensing exam in the States, and on the drive there both days listened to this podcast to help ease my nerves and I passed. Ah, that's sick. Congratulations, Emi. Sorry if this is a depressing answer or the fake answers are depressing.

She writes, I personally think the weekend at Bernie's one is kind of funny. And that was fantastic work from you, Emi, scoring the house a point there. Answering for the final question. what is the synopsis of the 1980 film The Changeling? It's Rob Lowe's theatrical debut as he stars in this coming of age fable of an Irish fairy. His rags to riches tale is being knocked down, finding love and trying to fit in outside of the fairy kingdom in this action-packed romp not to be missed. That's option one then you got... As a result of a smear campaign, a conservative senator decides to fake his death only to return

as his long-lost twin brother, who runs as a liberal candidate. In this dark political satire from the team that produced Halloween, can he bring himself to commit to progressive policies all the while convincing his constituents he's really a new man? Top two, option three. When a woman finds a boy in a field she becomes convinced that that boy is actually her father as a boy. Everyone decides that she has lost her mind except the boy who thinks she is right. Years later the boy has a daughter who the woman, now old, thinks is her. She eats the girl, thinking she is eating herself. That's option number three.

Option four, it was the perfect family vacation for composer John Russell and his family when a freak automobile accident claims the lives of his wife and daughter. Consumed by grief, John, at the request of friends, rents an old turn of the century house. Mammoth in size, the house seems all the room That's option number four. on John's despair and uses him to uncover decades of silence and deceit. That's option number four. Then you got an American mystery crime drama based on real life events, specifically the 1849 Chicken River riots.

It stars Brendan Dunder as Glenn, a man who rolls from town to town. When he arrives, he is shocked to find that everyone recognizes him as a man named Redmond, even though he'd never been there before. When charges are brought against him for a historic crime, he pleads in court that he is not Redmond but is labelled delusional and confined to a psychiatric ward where the line between truth and fiction gets blurrier by the day. Well finally, based on the infamous Great War of 1932, a ragtag platoon of soldiers are driven into a brutal and bloody battle against Australia's deadliest flightless beast, the changelings.

Okay. All right. Um, Raven, do you want to have first crack here? It's got Rob Lowe's debut as a fairy. Got the politician who killed, uh, Fakes his own death comes back as his progressive brother. You got the the woman who thinks his boy is her dad and then eats herself. You got the composer living in the haunted mansion. You got the guy being thought of as Redmond but he isn't, he says, or the one based on a Great

War of 1932. I like the Redmond. There's a lot of detail. The chicken river stood out to me. A lot of detail. Should I try? I hope that was, I don't know. I like it, you're just throwing a line out there saying if you can get any.

He's so random, he kind of gave a little smile. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I like it. You just throw a line out there saying if you can get any. He kind of gave a little smile. I don't know. I promise you it wasn't me. Yeah, I'll still lock it in. I reckon that was. All right. Locking that in for rowing. What do you think, Jay?

Chainsling doesn't sound like a funny movie. Like, I think it doesn't sound funny. So I'm going to go with that. The very last one doesn't sound very funny. So I'm going to go with that. The very last one doesn't sound very funny, so I'm going to go with that. You're going to go on the one based on the infamous Great War of 1932? Yeah, that sounds yeah. What was the end of that one again? Battle against, ends in a bloody battle against Australia's deadliest flightless

beast, the changelings. I thought they were emus. You said it doesn't sound very funny, but I'm sure there's funny moments. Gotta be. I think some like one. At least one laugh out loud moment. I don't think they're emus anyway. I think they're the second Australia's second deadliest flightless birds.

But I think like probably saltwater crocodiles would be the deadliest flightless beast. You're right. But the changelings. Well, the changelings, we don't know if this is, it's only says based on an infamous war. No, because I do. Yeah, I'm leaning towards that one as well. But I'm not going to lock it in. I'm going to be brave and take a big swing. OK. But I'm not going to lock it in. I'm going to be brave and take a big swing. Okay.

And I'm going to say that the one that felt right to me all the way up until the very last sentence was the one of the little boy in the woods who's her father. And then he has a kid. Yep. Yeah. I just don't know why she eats herself, but hey, that kind of film, they probably felt like got to page 70 of the script and they're like, we don't know how to wrap this up. We don't even know if that's the wrap up. That

could be, that feels like that might be the beginning. Yeah, trying to. Then she's wrestling with the idea that she ate herself. Throw it forward to a sequel or something. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I'm going to lock that one in. Lock that one in? Little boy in the woods. Jade, do you want to choose one that you think might actually be right or do you want to just lock that one in. Little boy in the woods. Jade, do you want to choose one that you think might actually be right or do you want to just lock that one in? All right, so now I'll go. I think you can choose that one. Because you can wait.

I'll choose it. As an ad for your movie that that is ripping off. But also you can choose another one as well. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Yeah, I'll do the- You're the only one that could beat the house. Oh, yeah. So yeah, no, no, sorry.

So just quickly again, you've got Rob Lowe's fairy movie. I think the one with the politician where he's like the, the, the, yeah, no, no, sorry. So, just quickly again, you've got Rob Lowe's fairy movie. I think the one with the politician where he's like the progressive politician comes back as that one. Yep. Recognise that one. All right. Welcome that in. Here's who wrote the answers. The one based on the infamous Great War of 1932, the one that's copy and pasted your film, Synopsis. Yep.

That was Saren. Wait, you don't appreciate the point? Of all those films, it was the one that was the most exciting. Bob Lowe's theatrical debut about a fairy being knocked down and knocked out of the kingdom, an action-packed romp. That was Rowan. Yeah, I'm pretty embarrassed about this to be honest. No going back.

We have also got the Chicken River one with Brandon Dunder as Glenn. Rowan after that, that was the house. I was just, you know what I did? Um, Rae Wooner said that, that was the house. Oh, man. You know what I did? I cut and pasted a synopsis of the Angelina Jolie, the Changeling film, and then changed most of the details. But I think the framing of it was real enough to trick you. I thought Brandon Dunderas Glenn might have just been like, well, that sounds like Matt's been stupid. Everyone was probably like, that was his theatrical debut.

All right. But yeah, it does, like you're right. It was, it was very good. It reads like a synopsis. Wait, so this is an Angelina Jolie film? No, that's just had the same name. It was, yeah, I think I've heard of that one. No, that's just had the same name. Yeah, I think I've heard of that one. It's a different film.

When a woman finds a boy in a field, becoming convinced that the boy is actually a father. Saram went for that. That was J Morrissey. Oh, well written. Oh, well done. Yeah. Jay, you went for the one about the conservative senator who just takes his own death. That was actually written by Paul Mellor in the house Me the correct answer is the one about the the composer John Russell being in a house

Yeah, I thought that one was gonna stick out a bit as the most maybe the only one that sounded real But it didn't at all Changeling you like God ghost. I yeah What is it? I don't know what changeling is that one of you even considered it. And it'd be there, you'd just sit there. You're like Changeling, you're like, ah, ghost. Yeah. I wasn't paying attention. What is it? I don't know what Changeling is. It's one of Australia's greatest flightless beasts. That's right.

Flightless beasts. It was a very funny detail. I like, I think there's quite a few. Um, flightless beasts. I think most beasts are flightless, but. Look, I'm going to have to count up the scores there but it's I think it might have really tightened up late. Wait okay okay yes two of you did pick house answers. This is the best the house has gone for so long. Oh my god. Well, I'm just quickly adding up the scores.

I can tell you that this film was critically lauded. Eighty five percent of critics on Rotten Tomatoes give it approval rating. Seventy nine percent of audience. Oh, that's high. Roger Ebert didn't really like it, writing, if it only took craftsmanship to make a haunted house movie, The Changeling would be a great one. Just saying the craftsmanship is good, but I guess that everything else is bad.

But a much more positive one by Brian Bessessi from Horror Movie Club podcast. There's, while the film's mystery becomes increasingly outlandish as it unfolds, the Changeling brings subtle yet effective chills and pacing that keeps the viewer engaged from start to finish. And I mean, I feel like I could easily be just reading out a great Emu War review there. Thank you. Can I just... I'm guessing you've come across this one before, but on IMDB for the great Emu War. Hang on. No, I've just stumbled upon a different great-

Is it- It's funny because- It's just the Emu War. Yeah, I've been saying the great Emu War a few times, haven't I? But didn't John Cleese- He was trying to make one as well. I think he still is. Yeah, right. That's fine. Yeah.

It'll be good and it's going to have Rob Schneider and- So, him, Rob Schneider and Monty Franklin are going to write, are writing it together. So, that's an absolute mixing pot of that. No, no, no, they're all good. So, this is, this is the featured review for your film, The Emmy War on IMDb. Finally, someone is making some edgy, brave comedy in Australia that is unique and entertaining.

It's completely bonkers. The outer body experience seen towards the end makes cinema history in what I'm sure is the most jaw-dropping gag in modern film. The Emmy War is a fun and wacky and unexpected at pretty much every turn. It's not daggy, has its tongue in its cheek and reflects a headspace in this country

that some are shy to acknowledge. But not these filmmakers. They're hilarious and they've made a wacky film that is satirical enough to be relevant. I saw it in a cinema full of belly laughs the whole way through. Hopefully you can have the same experience. Nine out of 10. Whoa. Hey, oh my gosh. Brit by J. Morrissey. Wow. Hey, oh my God. Brit by J. Morrissey. That's so funny.

I love how they're like, finally someone's doing it. Yeah. It's edgy, it's brave. It's sort of like, yeah, you're like, oh, thank you so much. But also got a bit of like bit too much mayo on it. Whatever, I'll take what I can get. Yeah. And that is the only review on the website.

All right. That was written by Rob Draper. Yeah. Draper on your Rob. Great. Great fake name. So that brings us to the end. Here is the final scores. Equal third on two points. Doreen and Rae win. Way out in second place on seven points.

It's the award winning comedy film writer director, J Morrissey. Hey, congrats. But winning for the first time in months on 12 points, it's the house. Thanks so much for joining us, Rowan. Where can people find you? So your comedy room is first Wednesday of the month. First Wednesday of the month that I run, but yeah, that's with the lovely Jordan Bar. We host a regular comedy room, but otherwise I do stand up all around the city. I post probably on Instagram the most, Raewyn's picks.

So come and see me, but also definitely at Miss Moses. Yeah, Miss Moses is the name of the club. It's a great craft beer bar as well. Yeah. Love it there. Mm hmm. I would have been a joke. Yeah, you did a's is the name of the club. It's a great craft beer bar as well. Yeah. Love it there. Mm hmm. Yeah, you did a, yeah, last month. Sorry to date this again. Well, now it's two months ago, probably.

And it was it was great, though. You told a fantastic little secret of, you know, a minor infringement that you. Yeah, there's a- A little bit of trouble. The room, one of the things is at the start of your set, you've got to tell a secret. There's a little ice break before you set. God, I had- Oh, man.

Back at- A lot of indiscretions. A little gimmick for a room is what I used to love when I could stand up and- I remember there was one where I had to- You've got to stand up. They said, you've got to get up and dance and look like you're having fun at the beginning. And really? That was awful. Wow.

Is that in Melbourne? Yeah, it was like they had a DJ. At the Northcote. Really? Oh wow. It was like a DJ and they were like, everyone was doing it as well. Just before you set? Like you, like just.

No, just get up and like dance at the beginning. It was a fun vibe. And they made us all up and like dance at the beginning. It's a fun vibe. And they made us all put our hands in at the beginning. Oh, my God. The worst part is they wouldn't stop the music when you get to the mic. They would- Oh, no. You just keep going until they stop. You're totally out of control.

I don't remember that at all. Where was the take-away? Was it the North Cape Bowls Club or something? No, is it that- What's that like, um, Sydney Row, like, you know, Glenn Zenn. You know, like the Brunny. Yeah, the Brunny. There's obviously more than one gig doing this. No, you still do the hands in, like, you know, clear eyes, full hearts. Yeah, can't lose kind of thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, there's no music. Oh, he always has the Blues Brothers theme song that he comes out to. That's why I get on down in Brunswick. Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, I call Brunswick the gym because that's where I got to work out my material. Jay, what do you got to talk about? You got a big film. Yeah, just come and see the film with the movies.

Apparently that helps in some ways and tell your friends if you think you know anyone who might enjoy it. Cheers for tuning in to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart. Now that you know it, I've been Matt Stewart. Goodbye. been Matt Stowett, goodbye!

I just thought I just remembered it because I was saying before before we started rolling that I'm like I can be like bad at thinking on my feet I have a story featuring Dave Warnocky where I was like, anyway, very bad on my feet. So the like, I remember I was doing a it was like a live show that he was doing. Yeah, like the like facty fact quiz quiz show, maybe. Yeah, that sort of thing. And I remember it was like he invited me. It was very nice to invite me on. And then he was like, name a celebrity that has a hat. And I feel like I almost shut down the show

Because I was just like I was like I can't don't know I don't know Be true red and just sweating and like the audience was feeling really bad I feel like it was not fun. Like I was not like playing it up. No one like helped you? Like to scream out an answer? Well, I think... Let me see if you've grown... Oh no, please.

Let's see if he's grown. Can you put the question to him now? Name a celebrity that wears a hat. Ali G. There you go. Well, that's the one I came up with after like six minutes. And Dave said, that's a beanie. Sorry. Yeah, that's not even the one I thought of.

I was thinking Molly Meldrum. Oh, OK. What were you thinking? Sherlock Holmes. You weren't thinking of any? OK. Yeah, we're celebrities. Thinking of Slash. Oh, yeah, good celebrity. Thinking of Slash. Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Isn't that interesting? We all came up with very different hats.

Richie Richardson, the West Indian cricketer. He wore a big hat. You pretty much name any cricketer, to be honest. Famously hat-heavy sport. I'm still looking at these Walt Zimutil, that Andre Rusong, um, Waltzing Matilda. Famously Andre Rusong. Yeah, the Jumbuck's the sheep, right? Tucker Bag, that'll be his food bag.

Yeah. Um, watch his billy boil. His tea. toolbar tree, troopers are the cops. Yeah, I thought there was something about sleeping. squatter? down came the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred? no that's a horse riding. but he's riding it in a squat. all right I really thought that. I thought in this story at some point he has asleep and they must have used a colloquial word for it, but maybe not anyway. Weak drowns himself at the end.

Oh, the deepest sleep of all this. Ah, yes. He sucks on. All right. Wow. It looks like the answers are in. That's really, it was the first, the very first line, he's jolly. Wow. Looks like the answers are in. That's really. It's the first, the very first line.

He's jolly. Yeah. Is it? Once a jolly. Once a jolly. So he's no longer jolly. Cause they do say, cause yeah, the cops are going to get him and he goes, you'll never take me alive. Hmm.

That's why. And his voice may be heard if you pass by the billabong. Ah, yeah. Oh, so he's not sleeping? No, sleeping with the fishes. Yeah, but he's still awake. He's still talking down. Yeah. Yeah.

He's calling for help. Hello? Oh, look. Isn't that so romantic? Still calling. Please! Yeah, some people want that to be our national anthem, but when you think about the content of the story, it'd be quite a grim one.

Yeah. All right. Normally, people have been starting to just do ads for random things in the break and I think Connor ends up chucking them at the end. I'd love to hear, and I don't think Rowan or Saran have seen the film, but I'd love to hear you come up with an advertising campaign for Jay's new movie, The Great Amy War. Could you, I mean, putting you on the spot here. I wouldn't do that to Jay obviously

but I feel like you can handle it. I think a great advertising campaign would be if you got a bunch of emu eggs, like real ones, the big ones, did not take out the yoke or anything, but you just like hid them around the city and then waited for people to either find them or they explode. An immune egg hunt. Yeah. And then it's, but if you don't find it in time, they will explode and it will. So you don't take out the yoke, but you add in some sort of explosive.

No, they just explode because they rot. You work on a farm, right? Yeah. They famously rot and eggs will explode and ruin everything in your life. It was funny, though, like just very quickly, there was the Jonathan Shuster, who's one of the writers and stuff like he he got a bunch of emu eggs because he thought it would help the film. And then they just sat at his house and

and started to stink and just like that's and but he was just like yeah I'm working on the film like he just got some eggs and put them like in his house anyway yeah I gave them to Jonathan. Wait, what do you mean? So there were baby emus in those? No, they were fertilised, but in order for an emu to grow, you need to keep them warm. So they weren't, you know, there were still a mummy and a daddy emu. Yes.

But so I gave them to Irvy and she like wrapped them up in this, like her favourite scarf, I think, and then forgot about it. I forgot to mention, and then forgot about it. I forgot to mention, because I just thought it was kind of public knowledge that you should take. So you knew that they would explode? Well, no, I thought they would use them before. Anyway, they forgot about them. Yeah, apparently exploded in. Oh, right. I didn't know about the explosion.

Maybe it didn't fully explode, but it leaked out enough of this stink, which is, it so it's off. It's like the sulfur like rotten egg was just their backyard. I mean, it sucked already, but then it was so bad for so long. No one figured out. What's that smell? I really thought they would get the yoke out before it started thinking I guess I I guess I should have. Punch a little hole in it so they could use some of his profits. I should have really reiterated that they should have done that. But, um. We also got an emu leg. We got an emu leg.

Emu leg. Yeah, emu leg, yeah. Like, we just bought it off, you know, those swapping... Was that just like a... Like, there was a misunderstanding. You'd ask for an emu egg. They'd be like, get your leg. No, it was like someone... I forget, someone involved in the project was like, well, we

should have this. It'll come in handy. And we were just like, I mean, yeah. And so we just went and it was like we would have seemed like such psychos. Like a butcher? No, it was like from someone like they wanted, you know, it's why they were swapping. It was like a taxidermy leg? Yeah. But it's it did stink as well.

Yeah. And you got to take the insides out. Whether it's it did stink as well. Yeah. Again, you've got to take the insides out. Whether it's eggs or legs. Anyway. But we used it in the film, like it's shooting, like it's like, like, great. Shooting, like pulling the trigger of guns and stuff. Wow. That's good. I know you've been a vegetarian for a while, Matt, but I don't think you can really get emu

At most butchers, okay I know you can't guru You have to go to Raywood if you need it. Yeah, you can eat emu. Yeah. Yeah, you can legally Yeah, yeah, I've had it like at some restaurants. It's nice. Yeah, okay, so maybe Just back off. Oh, OK, so maybe, OK, just back off. I thought you were a foodie. Didn't sound like it. Was there only one Italian character?

I think so, yeah. I should look up what the other the rest of the characters were. Yeah. The German character is called Von Kaiser. Oh, OK. They could have gone a lot worse. So I guess that's OK. Yeah, the Russian was Soda Popinski, like soda pop. Is that a Russian thing?

It doesn't feel like it. I would assume that was more American. So this is the Wii boxing game. Well, it's now got a Wii version. So this is the Wii boxing game. Well, it's now got a Wii version. Ah, but it was in the 80s. It was a 1984 arcade game. The Turkish one's called Bald Bull and the Canadian one, Bear Hugger. Yeah, I think pizza pasta.

Yeah. No Australian. No. Could have been fun. Yeah. No Australian. Could have been fun. Do you remember? There's an American, there was an American called Mike Tyson, but that that wasn't until the 87 version. Mamma Mia. What's an obscure? That was Pizza Pastas' wife.

Do you remember any obscure game characters? Like you think of any other fun? I don't know how obscure they are. I used to play Battletoads back in the day and they were like called pimples, zits and like acne or something. Pretty fun. Yeah, that's a good one. I was like, I asked the question, I just realised, I was like, I don't actually have any. I just remember all the Tekken, all the Tekken characters were cool, but I can't remember any of their names.

Yeah, I was never into Tekken. Was Tekken an arcade game? I think so. I remember Tekken 2, but I don't know why. I'm guessing that was the sequel. So your movie is called The Amy War. Yeah. It's a... Oh my God, dude, you'll love it.

It's got... I'm going to... Hopefully I'm around the weekend that it's hitting the cinemas. Did you have to film with any, like, real live amy's? Did you get them on? No, we didn't. We weren't able to we made puppets

So there's like these these puppets that we got made and so we were like they were really expensive And so I may as well use them and people talked about getting like live animals involved in different scenes like yeah, and The idea of it was just such a night. I'm so glad I won that bad. I mean really yeah. Yeah Yeah Yeah, I've been mounted by an emu. Is there really? I don't know if I can tell. Because I used to work at a different farm that I currently work at. We had some emus and we'd have to do like a wildlife kind of talk about them.

So we'd have to stand like amongst the emus and there was like, it was during breeding season, this one gets just really like excited and he's, it was raining and I had a, like a yellow raincoat and learnt later on, apparently they're just two different colors. So I had to do like a, I had to do like a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of during breeding season, this one gets just really like excited and he's, it was raining and I had a, like a yellow raincoat and learnt later on, apparently

they're just attracted to like bright colors. I don't know why, but he was like circling me and I had to like keep talking while he was like fully like up against me, like, um, yeah, trying to like push me to the ground. I was just like, yeah, he's just having a bit of fun while he's walking around. They do this like deep throat, like, like, yeah. Well, yeah, it was actually, it was, yeah, hard to live up to after you've had that experience, hard to reach that high again.

You're trying to chase it. You are requesting that now. Sorry, yeah. Just wait for me. I can't, without it, I just can't get there without it. That's right. So funny, Soran, how you're playing the game. After the episode that's out at the moment is Mission Zack taking it so seriously and everyone's like, we really loving how seriously everyone's doing it. They're going to hear this and be like, well, I mean, different people would be like, I like how Soran is not trying at all. Did an episode of Primal mates recently with Sarenna about the... because, yeah, sort of retired that one.

And then in COVID, I'm like, just something to do. I brought it back like so soon after I said, I'm done. This is over. Did 100 episodes. And then like, I reckon it was a couple of months later, bringing it back. I'm bored. But yeah, we did because there's a few big ape movies out recently. So we did one about that recent Kong and then one about that. Well, there's all the Planet of the Apes ones. Yeah, the new Planet of the Apes one as well.

Yeah. And it made me realise there's so many that I haven't done in the past as well. Really want to do the Indiana Jones films. There's some monkeys in them, I've never seen them. The new ones? Oh, I don't know, I think maybe the original one. I started watching the new Indiana Jones and it was like, it's like him, like they de-age him at the start and then it cuts him and the rest of the movie he's so old. And like.

Is it a flashback? Yeah, it's a flashback, but then it's like the time, it's set in the past, so it's like, like it jumps forward and he's really old and you're like, it's still the past. It's like, oh, but it's like, it's in it's said it was like said in the 40s. It's not as past. So it's it's said in the 70s now and he's old. Right. It's like, you know, it's still everything still so old. It's said in the 1970s.

I feel like that's fun. Because, you know, like it's said around the World War Two is like when the, you know, the original ones are. Yeah, of course. And then I've not seen it, but I- But it was so confusing. I was like, I was like, why do you- It's like he's like a hundred years old and it's still old cars? The deepfakes slipped off his face. Yeah, and then I turned it off.

He was old for like 10 minutes. All right. Nah, enough of old Ford. Am I right, Jane, saying that you've got a film coming out? Yeah, yeah, I do. It's so exciting. I've been working on it for seven years and I love every minute of it. And it's really good.

Is it going to be sad to see it go? Does it feel like a kid that you're swapping out or a wife that you're swapping? Yeah, I care too much for it, for it to be like a kid. But, um, yeah, no, no, I guess. But no, actually, no, I'll change my answer to no. I think it's so boring. Like, after so long, it's like we finished shooting it like two years ago. And so just there's been so much process.

You just kind of want to move on to the next creative project. That's going to be cut towards the end. It doesn't fire people up to go and see it. I'm excited about it. Go see it. Please. Wow, it's such a long process. Oh my gosh. Yeah, so it's meant to be particularly hard in Australia to get films made,

isn't it? Yeah, it was. I mean, we just shot it on a like like, you know, we had, it was a very, like, it's a very big, like, like, like lots of locations and and like special effects and stuff. And we had a small budget for all of that stuff. So we had to kind of do it all kind of dodgy and or, you know, like not not illegally, but like, you know. Source your not illegally, but like, you know, source your own dynamite.

Yeah. All that stuff. I use the immune eggs.
