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 Shield at the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Shield and our first guest is German-born Australian comedian, Maron May. Hello. Welcome to the Knew It with Matt Shul at the show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Shul and our first guest is German-born Australian comedian, Maren May. Hello. Welcome to the show.

Welcome. Welcome back. So many people loved having you on last time. No. And I said, well, bloody hell, better get Maren back. Thanks for having me back. I immediately panicked and instead of saying thank you, I said welcome as well. Did you?

I did not even notice because I'm also very awkward. Our second guest this week is Scottish born French Canadian comedian who lived in Australia for 20 years at Talstead Trombay Virtual. G'day, eh? And our third guest is an Australian born comedian, very boring, Syringyamana. Every when you're introducing the guest, very boring, Saren Jai Mana. When you're introducing the guest, I never, it always feels like it's about to be me, and then you'd said German-born and I was like, was I?

Am I? Am I? Nobody knows with you, Saren. I'm Australian-born. Because I feel like an accountant could be born anywhere. Oh my god. Matt, you have two accountants on your show. Oh my God, two accountants and an engineer. This is gonna be a party. Oh my gosh, I didn't know you were an accountant.

I'm an accountant. Wow, really? Yeah. Still active as well. Very active. What women, we should talk about this up here. This is from... Mays is active in the sort of accounting sense,

but I believe, Marin, you do a fair bit of exercise. Is that correct? I mean, I'm so you do a fair bit of exercise. Is that correct? I mean, I'm so active. Yeah. Yeah. Saran, we're doing a live show coming up, the 100th episode. And I've, I've, I don't think I've mentioned on this show before, but we're doing 100th episode, aren't we? On the 3rd of August. It's so exciting. I can't wait. That's very soon. I just announced it. You've not announced it. Well, I've announced it Oh, okay, but I've just haven't mentioned on this show. I've only mentioned on social media

And okay, I keep forgetting to mention on the show where all the fans. Yeah, actually are listening. Yeah. Yeah Why would you mention it there? So it's August the 3rd at 3 p.m. At the Comedy Republic Sorenson we just announced the lineup soren Cerenzon, Big Wet, Mish, Wittrips on, as is Ben Russell, Little Dry, as we call him, and Medium Moisture, Dave Warnocky, yeah. They're- Fantastic. Yeah, yeah.

So you got the full scale there. Yeah. Because I'm Big Dry. And you're Big Dry, that's right. Then you got Little Dry, Big Wet, and Medium Moisture. Medium Moisture. Beautiful stuff. And I'm sure we. And you're big dry. That's true. Then you get a little dry, big wet and medium moisture. Medium moisture. Beautiful stuff. And I'm sure we will remember all of these names.

OK, so anyway, people can get tickets if they go to mattsyorkomedy.com or do go on pod.com, I think, as well, or the Comedy Republic website or probably just Google it, whatever. Lots of choices. Yeah, yeah. Which one will you choose? Obviously, you'll get a ticket. That's not one of the choices. That's not one of the choices. Not getting a ticket is not one of the choices. Yeah. Yeah. Which one will you choose? Obviously, you'll get a ticket. That's not one of the choices. That's not one of the choices. Not getting a ticket is not one of the choices.

That's not viable. All right. So the way the show works. There's some things that are so that are so dry that it almost feels like they absorb moisture out of your hands, like chalk or something like that. Yeah, that's me. I think I'm that one. I'm big chalky. Chalky Matt Stewart. Oh, yeah. All right.

So, the way the show works is I ask a relatively obscure trivia question and our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer. I then read out their answers as well as the real one and I have to guess which one is correct. And our first question comes from all the way from Melbourne from a listener named CJ Diamond. What a name. The question is, what does the word Tartle mean? What does the word have a spelling T-A-R-T-L-E.

OK. You're deep in the world of spelling. You know, Al Sarenz writing for the Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee or whatever. Oh, wow. I didn't even realise they were like making new episodes here. So they're not even just replaying Kiwi episodes. They're creating their own Australian. All these bigwigs. You Gleesons and you-

Really? Yeah, the first one I've had like, maybe Kitty. Danielle Walker's on the first one and- Who else? See, there's four guests? Yeah, I can't remember who that is. Naseem? Oh yeah, Naseem, Danielle, I think Gleyson.

Yeah, what a lineup. And Aaron Chen's the co-host. What a lineup, guys. Almost as good as our wet to dry spectrum lineup at the 100th episode. 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 contestant and another point if you correctly guess 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 and I'll get a point for each one of those that I guess choose. So each of us can score up to three points per round which seems fair but the probability apparently actually favors me, the house, and the house always wins. Although if you've listened to previous episodes, you'll know that is rarely the case. Anyway, our questions come in at great Patreon supporters. If you want to submit a question, sign up on any level via patreon.com slash dogo on pod, which is linked in the show notes. All right, so the answers are in.

But question number one, what does the word Tartle mean? Here are your options. A traditional Somerset dessert resembling a small tart in the shape of a turtle. A bag where young enthusiasts can keep their handsomest beans. When you're walking towards someone and you do the uncoordinated left, right step, side step to get around each other. A sweet, but not in a good way. The moment of awkwardness when you realise you can't remember the name of whoever you're talking to.

Or a turtle who's a bit of a tart. Not to be confused with a turtle who's a bit of a flirt, which is a flirtle. Don't get confused, please. Or a tart that's a bit of a turtle. Mm. Slip, slip, a bit of a tart. Well, that was, I think that was the first option, a summer dessert.

A tart shaped like a turtle. On the shape of a turtle, yeah. What are you thinking? Mm, well, look, my emotions, I'm not going to let my emotions play a part in my decision making. I want to be a really a logistician in this. Is that a French Canadian term? It's a, it's a, it's a Francophone term that comes from Descartes and he would tell me to not pick any of the ones that have a tart mixed with turtle.

Well, that rolls two down, so you got four left. I got four left. So you got the bag with handsome beans. Yeah, the beans, the shuffle. The shuffle. Yeah, sweet, not in a good way. Or not remembering the name. Not remembering the name.

So I think that's either the name or the shuffle. And I'm going to go with the shuffle. Go with the shuffle. All right. I was looking in the shuffle. What do you think, Saron? I've done that shuffle many times. You've tattled. I've tattled. I've danced the dance, tatted the tattle.

But I, yeah, I've never once thought, oh, that should have a name. More thought. And it shouldn't. I'm a fucking loser. Shouldn't have a name. I reckon, I think it's a, I mean, I think it could be a bag full of beans, but then you put the word handsomest in there and it seems like that's a prerequisite that's too demanding.

Because what's a regular bag of beans called then? Do you need, does that have a name and then a handsome beans needs its own name? I think that's a good point. I think it's natural to select the most handsomeest beans and put them all together. Yeah. Oh, so you think it could still be a taro. Yeah. What was the other, the one remaining option that hasn't been banned?

Sweet, but not in a good way. Oh, because it's like tar-tot. Yeah. Look, I'm going to go with sweet, but not in a good way. For no good reason at all. But I mean, that's what your heart's telling you. That's what my, my, yeah. And you're trying to, you're playing a win, aren't you? Sometimes listeners don't believe you're in it to win it, but that's not true.

I think today is going to prove that. I've always been in it to win. Yeah. People have been getting increasing feedback that there's a game within a game on your episodes, picking Saran's answers, but it's quite an easy game. It's a subquest. No, no, I think that even when you say that you're in it to win it, I feel like you weren't even in it to win that.

Maron, what do you think? I was going to go with the shuffle as well because yeah, I've done that so many times. You're a top one. What were the other, the last two answers? Sorry. Last two were moment of awkwardness when you realise you can't remember the name done that so many times. You're a tart one? But what were the other, the last two answers? Last two were moment of awkwardness when you realise you can't remember the name of whoever you're talking to.

Oh yeah. Or a turtle who's a bit of a tart not to be confused with a flirtle. I love a flirtle. I'm gonna go with the name. The name? Awkward moment? Yeah. Awkward moment?

Yeah. Alright, looking at it for my own ears, who wrote the answers? Turtle is a bit of a tart. Not to be confused with the flirtle. That was Saran. So points for listeners at home, if you did guess that one. Traditional Somerset dessert resembling a small tart in the shape of a turtle. That was a house. Yeah. Heads are in a similar place there, Saran. Put on your house. A bag where young enthusiasts can keep their handsomest beans. That was ATB.

No way. Hello everybody. I had a real French-Canadian lens on that one. I think you could see it you could see it clear as day. Al you went for when you're walking towards someone and you're the uncoordinated shuffle. That was actually CJ okay the house. I've just done a quick Google to see if there's a term for it. I found sidewalk salsa or sidewalk shuffle. I don't like that. No, I don't think that's what it should be called. No, I don't think so either.

Salsa's fun. Yeah, and so is a shuffle. A joyful event. Hmm. Activity. Unless you consider it a mush of tomatoes and stuff like that. I don't know. Oh, yeah. Oh. Salsa verde. That's also fun. Yeah, I think consider it a mush of tomatoes and stuff like that. I don't know. Oh, yeah. That's also fun.

Yeah, I think that's a lot of fun. Both making it and eating it. That's a good time. Yeah. I assume I've never made one, but it feels like it'd be something that would be fun. So you went for Sweep and not in a good way. That was Maron. Oh. And Maron, you got the correct answer. It's the awkward moment when you realize you can't remember the name of whoever you're talking to.

No way. Oh my gosh. Yeah so I've done a soft tattle for you because I've been I have remembered your name but I've just said it wrong. A soft tattle that sounds even more fun. Show us a hard tattle. I think Aldo Paso offers a box where you can get both a hard tardo and a soft tardo. Porque los dos. I was very surprised that you chose that because I thought I obviously heard this word different from everyone else. I thought it was like a descriptive word, wait, but not in a good way, but everyone else heard summer desserts.

Is that not good? in a not in a good way, but everyone else heard. Summer desserts and. Is that not it? Yeah, I mean, I just. I can't explain the madness behind the process. You were closer to the truth anyway, right? Because the actual word is a. Yeah, it is. It describes it. Situation or whatever. Yeah.

All right. After one round. What is it? Alastair and Saren yet to score. The house on one point, but way out in front on two points is Marin. Oh my gosh. I'm absolutely getting trounced. This... We're up to question number two. This comes from Henry Smith from from Knock in Cumbria.

And Henry's question is, which of these is a real species of bird? Just gotta come up with a fake species of bird. And while you're writing those answers, let me tell the listeners a bit more about Tartel. According to the Scotsman, we've all been there, minding your own business, walking down the street when suddenly you look up and catch the eye of someone familiar. But wait, you know the face, but you can't remember the name, at least not initially. They say hello, include your name in the greeting and you respond with, hi, um, um, Steve? This is known as a Tartle, a completely unique word to the Scots language that defines the hesitation shown in trying to remember someone's name. When confronted

with the above scenario, you can excuse your apparent rudeness by saying, sorry for my TARDLE. What makes the word so special is that it doesn't apply when you forget the person's name entirely. Oh no, it exists only to encapsulate the brief awkwardness while you rummage around your brain for the answer. CJ adds, it can also be used as a verb like, sorry, I tattled. What's your name again? Very fun.

Oh, yeah. So you just call it out, but in a fun way. Yeah. Sorry about the tattle. And then they forget that you forgot their name because they ask you, what's the tattle? Yeah. What does that- What does that mean? Yeah. Oh, um. All right. So the answer in for question number two, which of these is a real species of bird?

Drab Seedeater, haunting shag, red headed singing bird, hyacinth cum bucket, blue breasted blurb, or the fish-arsed finch. Saran, what do you think? You got drab seed eater, haunting shag, redheaded singing bird, hyacinth cum bucket, blue breasted blurb or the fish-arsed finch. I think it's on us for judging the way in which it eats the seeds. But I think it's the drab seed eater. Drab seed eater.

Yeah. I don't think we should be passing judgement on. Hmm. Oh. Yeah. You know, it's just- Is drab its colour? What does it mean? I don't know. Drabs like dull, boring.

Oh. Bit drab. That's why I don't know what that means. I've never heard that before. It's never been used to describe you or anyone you're associated with. What do you think, Mara? I'm going to go, I feel like I cannot not go with the cum bucket. Yeah, you can't.

Because I feel like this is maybe one of those where last episode was one where none of us were like, that's real and then it was real. And even if it's not real, I take the risk just for the come back. You want to wheel it into existence. What do you think, Al? How is fish assed spelt? F I S H dash A R S E D. So it's spelt in the sort of the English slash Australian spelling of asked and not the Canadian asked. And the underwater sort of way, the underway underwater version of fish rather than the P H I S H.

Oh, yes, sure. Yeah. rather than the P-H-I-S-H. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah. Jam band kind of way. What is a fish ass? You're somewhat of a scientist, though. What would have- How would you picture a fish ass finch? Well, I suppose it would have a wet ass, maybe a swamp ass.

So this could be some kind of- It could be some kind of... It could be some kind of like a... Like maybe a Mediterranean bird, you know, lives in a humid area. Okay, right. I'm like, I didn't know Mediterranean's were famous for their wet houses. What do you mean humidity? It's a very big important part of why they live so long. Are you locking that way?

Is that what you're locking in or are you just working your way through the board? You got the blue breasted blurb. A hyacinth cum bucket. Red headed singing bird. Haunting shag or drab seed eater. Seed eater is fun to say too. Seedeater. Seedeater. Seedeater.

All right. One more time. Hit me with those words one more time. Drab Seedeater. Haunting Shag. Redheaded Singingbird. Hysent Cum Bucket. Blue Breasted Blurb. Or the Fish.

Fish-Ast Finch. I'm actually really struggling with this one. I am going to go breasted one. Blue breasted blurb. I thought that was your answer. All right. Here's who wrote the answers. Redheaded singing bird.

That was Maron. Why did no one go for that? Sounds so real. I like it. I mean, it feels like it's just like someone's phoning in the naming of a bird that day You know, they're like it's the end of the day. They've just named a whole heap of birds We forgot this one. This one with the red head. It sings a lot. It sings. And it's a bird I guess. Makes sense in my head. Did Sarenne pick one? Sarenne did pick one. Yeah, I picked the drab bird seed eater. It's just very quick and efficient.

The haunting shag. That was Henry, aka the house. Very nice. That was very evocative, isn't it? I had a haunting shag once. The fish-arsed finch. Al, you're really curious about it. And the spelling, which is weird, because you spelt it.

I know. I thought there were people who were still yet to choose. Let's try to do some free advertising. You nearly convinced me with the wet ass. That did sway me. Yeah. Unfortunately, I'd already locked in my hands. Yeah.

Al, you went for the blue breasted blurb. That was the house. I thought it sounded fun, but a blurb's a thing on the back of a book, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I know. But it felt like shag had been done already so many times. So I thought blurb. Well, that was a good instinct. Good instinct.

Yeah. Hysent Cumbucket. Can I just double check, Mara, and have you ever seen One Foot in the Grave? Is that what the show's from? Yeah, I think no. No, I also completely... Oh, it should have been Hyacinth Cumbucket, I'm guessing. Anyway, Sarenrae, that one.

I also didn't know that there was a word before Cumbucket, that's all I heard. What is it? The one on the bed was just the Cumbucket. That's old. No, there was definitely... What was the word before Cumbucket? Hyacinth. So, that was definitely- what was the word before cum bucket? Hyacinth. So there was a character like an old- this like BBC sitcom. Oh, it was called Keeping Up Appearances.

Keeping Up Appearances, that's it. And she was Hyacinth Bouquet, but people would call her Bucket. It's Bouquet. Yeah. Hyacinth Bucket. And she was like trying to seem like she was well to do when she was just like an average Joe. And her husband was really just put it up with it.

Oh, yeah. I think there's a lot of comedy. One Foot in the Graves, like similar. Similar, yeah. Well, if I ever discover a bird, I'll call the bird after this person. Thank you so much. Yeah. And what should I have said? Come bouquet?

Yeah, I should have spelled it better, but yeah. Well, you were just expecting me to get the joke. But I don't think Maron would have picked it. Serene, you should have just double checked the spelling when you were in your turn to choose. So that means Serene gets a point there, but he gets another point because he's correct. It's the drab seed eater. No way. He's playing to win.

And you are 100% right. It was apparently because it was just a dull. In the way that it ate. I think so, yeah. This is a bit interesting because usually people that name birds, I would assume are bird lovers, but this person saw a bird and was like, oh, that's boring. Yeah, that's right. But that could, maybe the bird really did stand out.

As being dull. He's like, I love all birds, but not this one. Hmm. I mean, I think it's nice. Initially, I was just going to call it the shit bird. No friends, Nellie. That's what I would have gone with. I think it's nice to just give people a chance who don't like birds to name them. Hmm. Everyone should go to go.

Yeah, because then they're invested in at least that bird. That's true. It's a gateway. Question three comes from Ke'an from Cork in Ireland. And the question is, what is the name of the drag queen who came last on season 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race? Just gonna come up with a drag queen name. What is the name of the drag queen who came last on season 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race? While you're writing your answers, I'll let the audience know a bit more about the drab seedeater. According to Henry, the drab seed eater is a species of songbird. Geez, you went far off there, Marron, with the singing bird.

It's found in Ecuador and Peru and was classified and named by Vladislav Taksanowski, who apparently found the bird's appearance dull and uninteresting with no distinctive features. Oh, so it's more the look of the bird than how it ate. But still, you know. That's mean eyes. That's probably even meaner the look of the bird than how it ate. But still, you know. That's mean eyes. That's probably even meaner actually. Can't change how it looks.

Can change how it eats. Yeah. Oh, look, it just looks like a, I think it just looks like a fine bird, but it's drab coloured. I think it's quite nice. Oh yeah, it's quite a beautiful bird. Yeah.

It's a cute little nose. Yeah. Yeah, this little, yeah, there was a cute beak. Beak, that's the word. Yeah. What's the word for beak in German? Is it nose? No, don't ask me. What is it in French?

Um... See, it's really hard. Yeah, right. How long... L'bec. L'bec. Is it really? L'bec. Yeah, right. How long? Is it really? Lebec. That's what I would have done when I was sort of pretending to know French. Lebec.

I did it. I also just remembered in German. It's Schnabe. Oh, like Schnabe. Schnabe. That's great. How long since you've lived in Germany? 14 years.

Oh, okay. So you're a long gone as well. That's great. How long since you've lived in Germany? 14 years. Okay. So you're long gone as well. I was in Australia for quite a while before we moved back. You're going to move back at around the 20 year mark as well? 24. Following ATB's footsteps. Yeah, yeah.

Yep. Maybe. But then I have to deal with the Germans again. Oh, deal with the Germans. The Germans. That's so funny. Then I have to deal with the Germans. Z Germans. Oh, it's so funny. Then I have to deal with the Germans.

You mean your people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. All right. Answer for question number three are in. What is the name of the drag queen who came last on season five of RuPaul's Drag Race? Orphelia Balls? Penny Tration? Read a Book for Once in Your Life,

XTina Belcher, Bergana Kingelqueen or Rachel Discrimination. I think we're up to you, Maron, first up this time. Oh no. Can you say the first one again? Ophelia Balls. Yeah. Penetration. Rita Book For Once In Your Life. XTina Belcher.

Bergana Kingelqueen. Or Rachel Discrimination. Okay, I do like Rita Book For Once In A While, but I feel personally attacked by that, so I'm not gonna go with that, because it's been a long time. I've read like a third of a book for a long- like a lot of times, doesn't matter. Yes, I'm really good at getting halfway through the first chapter and then going back to an audiobook. Yeah, I do that.

Well, let's see if there's available online to listen to. What was the first one? That was just- Ophelia Balls. Ophelia Balls. Ophelia Balls. Yeah, I think I like that because I'm thinking about, like, Greek mythology. Ophelia. Yeah, that's beautiful. And Balls.

That's a beautiful combo. What do you think of? Beautiful name for a woman. I mean, obviously, I love Rachel, discrimination. Is that what it is? Yeah. Check the spelling, maybe. Let's see, is it or... Let's start with another.

I think Seren thinks you're playing him again. Only this time he hasn't answered yet. I mean, it's funny because I genuinely think that it's Saren who's written it. So. I would have if I'd written it, I would have gone Rachel E as an initial and then vilified. Oh, Rachel. You punched it up.

Rachel E vilified. Rachel E vilified. I like it. I like how you've taken something that's pretty straightforward and made it slightly more convoluted. And what was... sorry, I'm gonna need their names one more time. Uh, Ophelia Bowles, penetration, read a book for once in your life, Xtina Belcher, Bergana Kingel Queen or Rachel Discrimination. Okay, Rachel-y vilified.

What was the one before Bergana Kingle Queen? Xtina Belcher. It's about X-T-I-N-A. Yeah, that doesn't seem like anything. So it's either that, like, Xtina Belcher. Like, why does that exist? I don't understand. But what does- Does Berghina Kingel Queen mean anything to you?

Let me see. Berghina Kingel Queen. Berghina Kingel Queen. What is that a play on? Yeah, is that a- I don't think it is. I think it's just a fun- I think it's got Queen in there. Fun sounding name. Why, I don't think they're always like wordplay now.

Burgana King, Burgana Kingle Queen. Yeah. I like that actually. I'll lock that in, please. Burgana Kingle Queen? All right. I feel like we've all tried real hard to make some sort of wordplay, but... You know what? Yeah, I'm going to do Extina. Because it seems like nothing.

And so. And she came last. So, yeah. Let me just check because she had to change her name. I was reading. Let me see. Oh, so the question is for you. No, this is what she changed her name to, but her first name was... Begina Kingel Princess.

She was initially called the Drag Queen Helga. Oh. So it's not all wordplay stuff. Yeah. All right. So here's who wrote the answers. Rachel Discrimination. That was the house. Read a book for once Rachel Discrimination. That was the house.

Read a book for once in your life. That was Sarenne. That's great. Sarenne went for Begana. Kingel Queen. That was Alastair. Alastair went for Xtina Belcher. That was Maron. Maron went for Ophelia Balls.

That was Keanuke. The house. No one being the correct answer. Penetration. Penetration was the obvious answer I feel. I felt very attacked by you. I'll say my name was nothing. Okay. Do not note. No one understood that either. Belcher from from Bob's Burgers. Oh, but it's Xtina like Christina Aguilera. Oh, Xtina Chris. I quite like that. It's just because I couldn't come up with a pun quick enough, okay? It's okay. Mine was supposed to be a play a feminine version of Burger King. If anything, this is... Oh, fuck. Yeah. Burgona Kingle Queen. Oh, yeah. Everyone went burgers-related.

But this, I think this question proves that sometimes the wordplay is not the best route anyway. Penetration. The best route is penetration. You can come last with penetration. Yeah. Yeah, that was her punching it up from, oh no, she found someone else that already had Helga the drag queen so she had

to change. Really? And she found that no one else online had penetration. She's like, all right, I'll take that one if it's available. So a point for Al, a point for Mara, and a point for the house that round. Here's question number four. This one comes from Colin Wright from Orem in Utah in the US. And the question is, what wacky pigeon related headline did the BBC run on May the 25th,

2017? You just need to come up with a... What was the date, sir? May 25th, 2017. And where was the paper? The BBC. But as you know, the worldwide BBC. So after three rounds, the scores are now Al on one point, Saran on two points, but out

in front both on three points it's Marin and the house. While they're writing their answers, I'll let the listeners know a bit more about Penny Traishen. According to RuPaul's Drag Race fandom page, Penny Traishen is an American drag queen who participated on season five of RuPaul's Drag Race. Penny was the Facebook fan choice being voted by fans of the show to participate in the season. However, her run on the show was cut short when she landed in the bottom two on the first episode of the season. Penny lost the lip-sync battle against Serena Cha-Cha,

having forgotten the lyrics to Party in the USA and was sent home, finishing last place at 14th. Alright while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. Alright, we're back. The answers are in for question number four. What wacky pigeon-related headline did the BBC run on May the 25th, 2017? Pigeon rides Bulldog pal around busy street. Pigeon caught with backpack of drugs. Norwegian pigeon all-in on

religion causes traffic on bridge in region. Small group of city pigeons sticking to an unusual morning ritual. England's hottest ever day, Mercury hit 17. Or more than a snifter of Weinstein. Can I just say I didn't hear the thing about the pigeon. I reckon there might be two people who didn't hear. And one of them made it about Weinstein. Let's see if that gives anyone a hint as to which to choose. Can I request that you don't read any from again? People have to just go off what they've heard.

I'll insert pigeons into the ones that didn't have them. It took me three of them to realise that Pigeon was a... After the first two I was like, well that's a coincidence. Alright, here are the options. I've added pigeons to the ones that might not have had them. Pigeon rides bulldog pal around busy streets. Pigeon caught with backpack of drugs. At this point Saran's not going... That's a funny coincidence. Third option, Norwegian pigeon all in on religion causes traffic

on bridge and region. Saran's starting to go, that's starting to become a little unlikely. Then you got small group of city pigeons sticking to an unusual morning ritual. England's hottest ever day, Mercury hit 17, pigeons die. More than a snifter of Weinstein on pigeon pet. Oh, my God. How are your listening skills? OK, so who are we up to here? I think we might be back to you, Al, for first crack. Hmm. I mean, I love the sound of this Weinstein one. Did you know he had a pigeon pet?

Well, I mean, Tyson, Mike Tyson had a pigeon thing, so it feels like another of history's monsters would too. I'm going to go with the pigeon rhyming one. OK. Locking that in for our... What do you think, Saran? Can I go with the real dry one that doesn't have rhyming? I think it was the one, the last proper pigeon one. A small group of city pigeons sticking to an unusual morning ritual.

Yes, I would like to lock that in. That feels quite quaintly English. What do you think, Mara? I like the morning ritual. I can't wait to find out what it could be. What was the first one again? Sorry. First one was pigeon rides bulldog pal around busy street. Oh yeah, that sounds lame. I feel like that would be in the news. I would like to see the drugs in the backpack, but I don't think that's a thing. I think the pigeon is riding a bulldog. Okay, welcome that in from Aaron.

No one wants England's hottest day ever. Pigeons die. Here's to write the answers. I'm not sure Seren is in this to win it. So more of a snifter on Weinstein. That was our said Trombo virtual. Did you pick your own one? No.

I didn't pick it. I was just trying to pre-mode it. He put it forward. England's hottest ever day. Mercury hits 17. That was Seren. Then we had a small group of city pigeons sticking to an unusual morning ritual. Saran went for that, that was Marin.

Oh, well done Marin. Pigeon rides bulldog pal around busy street. Marin went for that. That was actually Colin, aka the house. Oh damn. Al went for Norwegian pigeon all in on religion calls, traffic on a bridge in region. That was the house. You're joking. Regular listeners will know that that one's always the house.

I pull up, anytime a question comes up that's a headline, I pull up rhymezone.com. That means the correct answer, Myra, and you'll get your wish. Pigeon caught with backpack of drugs. No way. That must be a tiny backpack. Yeah, it's pretty cute. Or a big pigeon. I don't know. No, no, normal size pigeon. So if I can get your picture quickly.

They should have put that in the headline. Normal size pigeon. Oh, that's so cute. That's very cute. It's a tiny backpack. That is kind of cute. So it is like a carrier pigeon, I guess. So that's so it is like a carrier pigeon. Yeah, yeah.

It's like a homing pigeon, but they're just using it for nefarious reasons. Wow. Is nefarious a word? Nefarious. Yeah. Nefarious. I said I'm like a South Australian. A bit nefarious.

All right. Oh, wow. It's like a pigeon coloured backpack. Yeah. So how would they have found it? That seems insane. Oh, in a Canadian prison yard. Oh, is that the one? Oh, no. Is it the same one?

I'll read the article shortly. I haven't really read it yet. Sorry. But I think there's a few, I think there might have been a few instances of it. But yeah, I don't think I've read Canadian. I think I read Kuwaiti. Well, sorry. Hey, make no apologies. So, the scores are in for that one.

Two to the house, one to Marin. So, the scores are now Alicera on one, Saran on two, Marin on four, but out in front now on five points, it's the house. Watch out, the house. Question number five comes from Emily Keane from Deep Dean in Melbourne, Maron on four but out in front now on five points it's the house. Watch out the house. Question number five comes from Emily Keane from Deep Dean in Melbourne but now living in LA. What a beautiful change at this time of year to have made. And also Mathias or Matthias Austin and the question is,

what is the name of a pitcher who played for the Chicago Cubs from 1906 to 1913? Just his real name. What's the name of the pitcher who played for the Chicago Cubs from 1906 to 1913? While you're writing your answers, here's that story from the BBC about the pigeon. Customs officials in Kuwait have apprehended a pigeon carrying drugs in a miniature backpack, Kuwaiti newspaper Al Ray reports. A total of 178 pills were found in the fabric pocket attached to its back. The bird was caught near the customs building in Abdali, which is close to the border with Iraq. An Al-Ray journalist

said the drugs were a form of ketamine, an anesthetic also used as an illegal party drug. Abdullah Fahmy told the BBC that customs officials already knew pigeons were being used to smuggle drugs but this was the first time they had caught a bird in the act. Law enforcement officials elsewhere have, however, identified previous cases where pigeons have been used to carry lightweight, high-value narcotics. In 2015, prison guards in Costa Rica caught a pigeon carrying cocaine and cannabis in a zipped pouch. In 2011, Colombian police discovered a pigeon that was unable to fly over a high prison wall because of the weight of the

package of cocaine and marijuana strapped to it. Oh my god. Pigeons have been used to carry messages since Roman times using their powerful homing ability. Racing pigeons can return to their lofts from distances of hundreds of kilometers. Are they great mules? They're even better pigeons. Alright question five the answers are in what is the name of the pitcher who played for the Chicago Cubs from 1906 to 1913 Bobby Burgers, Ernie Ernie on we Yogi bearer Steve Orville overall or Patty pitchman Saran your turn. Just to in the interest of keeping a rapid-fire I'm gonna say

Orville overall. Orville overall for Saran locked in. I'm sorry I need to hear them again. Hey don't apologize to me. Apologize to me. Apologize to Anne who's really all of a sudden decided it's rapid fire. After being on the show about 15 times, now halfway through this one. So your options are Bobby Burgers, Ernie Onwee, Yogi Bearer, Steve, Orville Overall or Paddy Pitchman. Yogi, what was the, Yogi Bearer, Steve, Orville Overall or Paddy Pitchman. Yogi Bearer.

Yogi Bearer. Yeah, I like that. Why not? Why not? I'm going to look at that for Maron. I think Maron's on the money. Maron's on the money. Yeah, I regret my choice.

But it's too late now. It's too late. I do really like Steve. Fast money. That's a long time ago. No, I've decided that this is a slow... And I actually almost didn't listen to the first half of most of them. So can I hit the first half again? Sure.

Can you also insert pigeon into all of them? Yeah. Bobby pigeon burgers, Ernie pigeon pigeon on way Yogi pigeon bearer stair pigeon Orville pigeon overall go with Steve pigeon He said inserted into it What was the the guy on Patty Patty pitchman Ernie on way on Wee. I think I have to go Ernie on Wee. I'm sure it's not that. I'm sure that sounds like a reverse rhyme zone situation.

Oh, my God. Al, don't be onto me now. Locking it in. It feels... I mean, no, I'm just going to go with Ernie on Weave. Okay. Here's the right the answers. Paddy Pitchman. That was Marron. I think that's pretty good.

Oh, that was pretty good. Sounds like a sportsman to me. Yeah, he's the pitcher. Yeah. You know, a bit of a nominative determinism. It was either baseball or advertising. He did both, actually. Wow. It was a baseball or advertising. He did both, actually. Wow. It was a different time back then.

Couldn't earn that much in sport. Bobby burgers. That was Emily, aka The House, the question writer, which I just think is real fun. I'd go eat at Bobby Burgers. Yeah. Steve. That was Saren. That stunk a Saren. In a good way, I mean a good smell.

I mean a good stink. Yogi Berra. That was what my arm went for, but that was actually, Alistair Trombley-Berchley. Oh. Really bending the rules there by using a real, sort of a real baseball name, but he spelt it Yogi and that Yogi Bear dash A-H. And I had definitely knew that that that was a real name. Who's that? That's why I had confused me.

Yeah, that's right. So there is someone called Yogi Bear. I didn't know that. Oh, you didn't know that? I didn't know that. No, I didn't know that. OK. Well, otherwise, I would have probably given you a pity point there. Oh, damn. Yeah, there was a baseball called Lawrence Peter Bearer, but his nickname was Yogi Bearer. Oh. Yeah, so these are not the exact things that Alra. He spells it different.

But you didn't read out the H. I know, I was trying to, but in hindsight that would not have come across. But if it did trap Marin, because she knew that that was a real but in hindsight that would not have come across but if it did trap Mara and because she knew that that was a real name then that would have been. Why are we not allowed to come up with right real names? I feel like you've used me as an example a few times on this podcast where you've changed rules based on things that I've done. No, I mean there's no rule there.

It's just a spirit of the game thing I guess. I think it was because of me that nobody's allowed to choose their own answer anymore. Yeah, yeah, that feels like... I was literally just wondering if someone would ever do that and then try to figure out what the advantages and disadvantages are. And then I gave up. Can you tell me, Al? Well, that changes the rules if you do.

I think the theory is that it'll help convince other people to guess yours, but it never works because people generally want to pick a separate answer anyway. But yeah, I say people can do it as long as they go at the end. They go, oh, no, actually, I'm going to change mine. Oh, yeah, which I do quite a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. go at the end they go on actually I'm gonna change mine oh yeah which I do it quite a lot yeah yeah yeah so that means the correct answer oh sorry Ernie on we I went for that was the house thanks so much out for that point oh overall means oval overall is correct there overall overall overall I did I thought there. Orville Overall. Who's playing the win? Orville Overall. Orville Overall.

I did, I thought it would be Yogi Bearer as well, but that must be because it is a real person. What about Paddy Pidgeman? No one thought about that. I guess Steve is a real person too. Yeah, Steve was a chance, you know. He had some chance, like, was half right. It took every instinct in me not to write Steve Pidgeon.

See, that's, Al, that's when Saren's playing a win. That's what he does. He's changed his outfit. This is a live show. Pidgeon's in there for sure. I feel embarrassed that I went for something that had a chance. All right. Question number six comes from Paul McNally from Waterford in Ireland and the question

is why did a segment on a 2007 episode of Sesame Street cause controversy? Why did an episode on a 2007 episode of Sesame Street cause controversy? And while you're writing your answers, let me tell you more about Orville Overall. According to Wikipedia, Orville Overall was an American pitcher in Major League Baseball. He was a member of the Chicago Cubs dynasty of the early 1900s, making eight appearances for the Cubs in the

World Series, including five as the starting pitcher. Highlights of his career include being a two-time World Series champion in 1907 and 1908. He was the NL strikeout leader in 1909. I think that's the National League. And he's in the Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame. Orville overall. Such a great name. All right, the answer in for question number six. Why did a segment on a 2007 episode of Sesame Street cause controversy? Because through the act of sharing his cookies, Arnold the Monster gave Grover hepatitis B. Game show host Muppet, Guy Smiley, swore under his breath and it was mistakenly left in the edit. Oscar the Grouch started to take

digs at Cable News in 2007 with his segment as anchor on Grouchy News Network, GNN, declaring he would only watch pox news from now on. Grover shot a cannonball into his own ass because they forgot to get cancel approval to shut down the street and a lot of commuters who typically use Sesame Street to bypass peak hour traffic on the M5 were unable to do so. One unlucky fellow, Steve Pigeon, was stacked for arriving at his workplace 17 minutes late. Oh no. Well finally Elmo dies. So you got hepatitis B from sharing cookies. You've got Muppet, the guy smiley puppet swearing.

Oscar the Grouch watching Pox News instead of GNN. Grover shooting a cannonball into his own ass. Steve Pigeon being late for work and getting sacked or Elmo dying. I think, Marin, we're back to you. I know. Why? The M5 is in Melbourne, isn't it? That sounds like... Well, I'm sure there's plenty of M5s.

Give it a new name. Yeah. Well, Melbourne's... I'm not even going to... Everything's named after something. I'm not even going to talk about Steve Pidgeon. I just feel bad for him. Mm. 17 minutes is not that late. Yeah, that's a pretty rough... And also, I think that's like a really accurate...

Like, if he knows he's 17 minutes late, he can't be a bad guy, because otherwise he'd be like, oh, the bit late. Yeah. 17 minutes late. Yeah. He needs... He keeps track of time. It's also crazy for a pigeon to get stuck in traffic when he could fly. Well, he's trying to do the right thing.

I don't know if he is a pigeon or he's just, that's just his name, Steve Pigeon. Oh, it's a pretty common name. You think it's unusual for Grover to fire a rocket up his own ass? Not a rocket, a cannonball. A cannonball. Cannonball. Yeah. I think Grover does tend to be around cannons. I think when he's- oh no, he's Super Grover, not Cannonball Grover, isn't he?

He does cannonball stuff though, I think. He shoots himself out of cannons at times. He's like a- he's sort of like a parody of like that stunt man who does stunts. Oh yeah. You know that guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Super Dave.ts. Do you know that guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Super Dave. Super Dave, that's him. I also want to find out

who in this room hates Elmo. I'm going to go with the hepatitis B. Hepatitis B. Okay. Locking that in for my own. What do you think Al? I think it's Guy Smiley. Guy Smiley. I also think it's Guy Smiley. Guy Smiley was my favorite character when I was a kid. I can't remember anything about him. The Count also fantastic. I don't remember either of those. You didn't watch the show?

I like the, who's the Swedish chef? It's called something else in German. Oh, what's it called? Hurdy-gurdy hurdy-gurdy. I mean the characters would be called something else. That was the Swedish chef. Yeah, Swedish chef. Yeah, you weren't saying that's what Sesame Street is called in Germany. Because the timing of that was pretty good. The characters are called something else so it confuses me. Yeah, gotcha. Alright, here's who wrote the answers. Guys smiley see I forgot what he looks like. He looks like Dennis Comedie Oh does he? Yeah, he's just like a smooth Smooth operator, isn't he?

Elmo dies that was Martin That's actually the only character I could remember That was good. That was good. That was actually the only character I could remember from Sesame Street. Steve Pigeon getting fired. That was Sarenne. That's going to surprise some people. No way. Grover shooting a cannibal into his own ass.

That was The House. The House. The House also wrote the Muppet Guy Smiley one. Oh, you're kidding me. That was my favorite character. Hepatitis B. That's going to be Pox News. Mara went for that. That was also Trombi Virtual. No, it's not GNN, is it? It's Pox News and GN me. My favorite character. Hepatitis B, Myron went for that.

That was the Trumpi virtual. No, it's not GNN, is it? It's Fox News and CNN. That's crazy. Yeah, conservative commentators did not like it. They thought they were making fun of Fox News. Oops, they were. Well, yeah, that was...

And then their response, I think, was they're also making fun of CNN, you know, they're making fun of, yeah, but they weren't really, yeah anyway. So that means bloody hell, the house gets another two points, the house there gets a point. So, going into the final round, you've got to understand though, you all get triple points in the final round, so you to understand though, you all get triple points in the final round, so you can still come back, but you're going to want to have a good final round, because the scores now are Alistair on two, Saran on three, Myron on four, but way out in front on nine points, it's the house. Are you sure I'm on two?

I swear I've had at least three. Okay, he's asking for a score check. It could be wrong. Three. Okay, he's asking for a score check. I could be wrong. Maybe you lost some for questioning the previous rules. That's very possible. You're right Al, you're on three. Are you sure I'm on three?

Are you sure I'm on four? What about my pity point? Oh yeah, you still want that pity point? No, I don't. I don't. Not that winning in any way is important to me. I think I accidentally gave Saren that point. So yeah, you're right Saren, you're on three.

No, you're right. No, I was on three. No, you are on three. Yeah, I'm on three. You know who I accidentally gave the point to? The house. The house. The house. Yeah.

That's, whoops. All right, so the scores with one round to go. Alastair and Saran on three points, Mara on four, but out in front on eight points, it's the house. So final question, we always finish with a film synopsis question. This will be the longest one you write.

Two, three, four sentences, you know, paragraph. And it comes from Joff from Colac, from LOL Radio. Oh, I know Joff. And Talia Cruz from South St. Paul, Minnesota. How are they collaborating on a question? They just both ask the same question separately. And the question is, what is the synopsis of the?

1987 film nice girls don't explode What is the synopsis of the 1987 film nice girls don't explode? While your answers are being written Here is some more info about the controversy on Sesame Street according to Dave Itzkoff writing for the New York Times, an executive for Sesame Workshop, the non-profit organization that produces Sesame Street, said a segment on that show that upset political conservatives was equal opportunity parody, making fun of CNN as

much as it was making fun of Fox News. The dispute began with a Sesame Street short that featured Oscar the Grouch as a reporter for the Grouch News Network, abbreviated as GNN. When his interview work upsets a female viewer and fellow Grouch, she tells Oscar, from now on I'm watching Pox News. Now there's a trashy news show. Some conservative bloggers believe that this was an availed shot at Fox News and Michael Gatler, the PBSO ombudsman, wrote in his findings, Sesame Street should have avoided the joke and broadcasters can tell parents whatever they like of Fox or any other network, but you shouldn't do it through the kids. It's interesting, I feel like he- I don't know, is it even... He upsets a viewer and she says she's only gonna watch Fox News.

I feel like that doesn't feel like that's a bad, like, particularly pointed either way. In a letter posted on Mr. Gatler's site, Miranda Barry, the executive vice president for creative at Sesame Workshop, responded to the ombudsman's remarks writing that, "'No political comment or comment about Fox News, subtle or overt, was intended.'" Ms. Barry pointed out that the segment was written in the fall of 2006 and broadcasts as part of the season that began airing in 2007. She added, "'This was equal opportunity parody. Oscar always tries to offend everybody. In the full story, Oscar keeps trying to find angry, frustrated and grimy stories, but each time he finds someone feeling bad, they soon look on the bright side and cheer up.

The curriculum for that episode was recognizing emotions. Writing on two levels, addressing young children with age-appropriate curriculum and adults with humour, is a trademark of Sesame Street, that has kept the show popular for 40 years. Jim Henson, John Stone, Frank Oz and others set a witty and silly tone to Sesame Street that has kept the show popular for 40 years. Jim Henson, John Stone, Frank Oz and others set a witty and silly tone for Sesame Street that our current writers work to maintain despite the demands of political correctness. Having the grumpy, grouchy, contrarian Oscar on Sesame Street, Mrs. Barrie wrote, shows kids that you can listen to someone with a very different worldview and even be friends with them without losing your own

perspective. Alright the final question is here and the answer in. What is the synopsis of the 1987 film Nice Girls Don't Explode? Set against the rugged backdrop of the American frontier, Nice Girls Don't Explode follows the story of Clementine Clem Avery, a fiercely independent woman with a mysterious past. Clem lives a solitary life on the outskirts of a rough and tumble town of Deadwood, hiding a dangerous secret. She possesses an extraordinary gift of explosive force that she struggles to control. The tranquility

of her secluded existence is disrupted when a ruthless outlaw gang led by the infamous Jasper Black Jack Langley rides into town. The townsfolk are powerless against Jasper's relentless brutality, but together with Sheriff Ethan Parker, they devise a daring plan to take down Jasper and his gang, using Clem's explosive talents to level the playing field. In this dystopian tale set in the far future, modesty for women means the difference between life and death. Every girl at birth is implanted with a dormant explosive device, which allows them to be monitored by a secret group known only as Trinity. The group has the power to detonate the bomb inside the woman if their behaviour is deemed unchaste. This dark sci-fi thriller reminiscent of Orwell's 984 raises

powerful questions about the nature of society and the disparity of moral standards between the sexes. It's option two then you got to reduce the administrative burden that comes with compiling naughty or nice lists. Santa invents a ray gun he can point at girls to determine which category they belong to. Turns out a ray gun is a dumb idea. Stick to giving presents, Santa. Nice girls don't explode. They disintegrate. Inspired by two events. Scott Morrison has a secret fetish inflating his lovers, but he pushes his passion further on a one-night stand. One of his lovers bursts and turns out to be secretly the daughter of the sheik of Abu Dhabi.

But with the sheik and the Sultan brother arriving in Denver for the big pumpkin comp, Scott only has three days to patch up his partner and get back on her good side. What's that? You've still got a couple options left. to patch up his partner and get back on her good side. What's that? You've got, still got a couple options left. April Flowers is kept away from boys by her overprotective mother because flames have a tendency to spontaneously erupt

whenever her hormones are aroused. For April, protection on a dinner date is carrying a fire extinguisher. The only men she meets more than once are firefighters. Actually, it's mum's way of trying to keep her little girl to herself, but new boyfriend Andy is having none of such nonsense. So the heat is on! Unfortunately, it's Fluffy the Cat who keeps getting caught in the middle. Well finally, Tina and Maria are

childhood friends, now working together as scientists in a research lab. After a particularly stressful week, they invite their boyfriends out to let off some steam over Friday night drinks. A fateful night unfolds as the stress of the job gets to Tina and paired with too many pairings of wine she confuses her own boyfriend with Maria's boyfriend because they both have brown hair. She grabs him for a kiss on the way to the bathroom. Maria later finds out through the brown haired bartender who always fancied her too and starts working with him on a potion that looks like Tina's favorite drink, an espresso martini. But tastes like spontaneous human combustion.

No, no. You got six explosive options here. But we're going to... They were very serious at the start. First two. So, you got the one about the outlaws. You got the dystopian future where girls are planted with explosives. You've got Santa and the ray gun.

You got the blow up doll fetish. You've got the mum who makes her daughter set fire to things if she's goes on dates or the one about the accidental boyfriend swap. Al, you want to go?

I'm going to go with dystopia. Dystopia. Yeah, me too, please. Oh, no? I'm going to go with Dystopia. Dystopia. Yeah, me too please. Oh no, I was going to go with that. You can! What does that mean? I don't know, well it would mean the house wins, but... Can you tell the advantages and disadvantages of that, Al? If it means the house wins, then I might change my name. I want to go with something else, wait.

If you want... I want to go with the... Just for Spice, I'm going to go with the first one. The old west? Yes. Okay. I'm going to change mine too. Okay.

I'm going to change mine to the bursts into flames things. Okay. Lock that in for Al. This is for triple points. What do you think, Saren? Yeah, I'll stay with the dystopian. Dystopian. All right. Here's who wrote.

The answers. The one about the switch, the brown haired boyfriends. That was Maron. I had nothing on my mind writing that. You had brown haired boyfriends on your moon. Santa accidentally disintegrating girls based on two events. That was Sarant. And it's like based on you're saying in real life that happened twice.

It was inspired by two events. Two events. This was inspired by a single event. This was inspired by a single event. The one about Scott Morrison inflating his lovers but one turning out to be the daughter of the sheik of Abu Dhabi. That was Alice in Tromblay Burchell. No way. Mara, you went for the one that sat in the Old West.

That was actually Jof. Oh, damn. Hanging in the house. And maybe is that the story of Deadwood the show? I don't know. Or is that just a place? I haven't seen it. Oh, damn. Okay, the house. And maybe is it is that the story of Deadwood the show? I don't know. Or is that just a place? Oh, maybe it is. Yeah, I don't know. So Ran, you went for the one about the dystopian tale. That was Talia, okay, the house. Many Alistair was correct. It was the one about April Flowers. Triple points. Who's overprotective mum, et cetera, et cetera. Whoa.

Whoa, how about that? Can you believe this? I'm gonna add up the scores. Carry the two. While I do that, I can quickly tell you this movie got pretty mixed reviews. 60% on Rotten Tomatoes for critics, 55% audience. I think 60% maybe is just fresh.

It's right on the edge of between fresh and split. Couple of user reviews, unnamed. One that likes it said, "'Crazy Fun', inventive and weird. Wish more movies made it their own like this one does. A great example of why I love 80s B-movie comedy so much." But another reviewer hated it, gave it half a star, said, "'The title alone got my attention because of how odd it was while I was expecting

anything while I wasn't expecting anything good I was hoping for some goofy fun needless to say I didn't get that and the title was the most amusing thing about the movie brutal final scores in fourth place on three points, it's Surenjai Mana. Can we check that, please? In third place on four points, it's Mara and Mei. In second place on six points, it's Alistair Tromblay Virgil. But oh my goodness, out in front on ten points, it's the house! Damn you, house.

I can't believe I still lost. How- how can people find you all before we wrap up here? They can find me pleasant. And I do. Also on Seren Comedy, at Seren Comedy on Instagram, please. Be Maron. Maron May official. Maron May official. Al, have you gone Instagram official?

No, atrombly virtual on Instagram. You can find me on the To and the Think Tank podcast and you can find me in Montreal doing all sorts of various things. If you want to track me down. I want listeners to go see Al live, get a photo with Al and send it in to us. Al, are you okay getting photos with people? Yeah, I'll do photos. I'll do photos with people.

That's great. 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 it. Cheers for tuning in to Who Knew It with Matt Stewart. Now that you know it, I've been Matt Stewart. Goodbye. Now that you know it, I've been Matt's Show It. Good boy. I wonder if there's anything that I could do with, like, while Matt does some of the work, whether there's any a sub-quest that we could have going.

I love a sub-quest. Yeah. We have to guess what kind of accounting Maron does. Oh, yeah, I does. Oh, yeah, guess. Yeah. I mean, I was in tax and that was very dry. Yeah, I worked in tax for a while, but not anymore. Yeah. Okay.

You're in a cool world. You were doing you were doing band stuff for a while. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't tax for bands. No, I don't do tax. I do like I work for a booking agent, so I just do settlements. She does tax. It's not allowed. I don't pay any tax ever.

That's good. That feels. That's cool. That's cool. I love it. I'm against tax. OK. When I'm speaking French, I often don't know very basic things. Like, I don't know. Did I tell you in the last episode that I didn't, somebody said the French word for stool and I was like, what is that?

It's a stool. And I went, Oh, sorry. That's not helping. Oh, they said stool. Yeah. They said it in French. Well, they said stool there. I thought they just repeated it in French. Well, they did say they- but they were like, they just pointed to it. So they said tabouret, and then I went, what c'est quoi? And then I said- and they said, c'est so. If you prefer it in French. Does it mean the two meanings of stool like in English or just- I don't think so. I don't think you go to the doctor and they say, so how are your tabu-rays?

Regular, thank you. What a... How are your tabu-rays? How are your stools? That's a fun question to get from a doctor. How are you? How are the kids? How are the stools? The only time I've ever had somebody ask me that a medical in Verticonom was professional

was when I went and saw an acupuncturist and they were like really interested in how often I went. Okay. And that was up. They told me I need to sleep less in the summer and more in the winter because the sun is up more. What? Oh, that makes sense. And that wasn wasn't you weren't even seeing them professionally.

That was a date, wasn't it? No, it was a date. I'm always dating people who put needles in people. Yeah. So you were on a date and she asked, how's your stool? She probably meant my stool you were sitting. It's always my first question now on every date. How is your stool? How's the stool? That makes perfect sense to me.

Yeah, is it a regular stool? Three legs or four. Marin, I'm doing... We're doing a Dugong podcast live in Germany later this year. That's so cool. Yeah, in Berlin. this year. No way, that's so cool. Yeah, in Berlin. Berlin is cool. Wow, that's sick.

Yeah, so fun. Should do an episode on Otto von Bismarck. Oh. But why? I don't know. I don't know much about Germany. I was thinking it might be a bit on the nose to do it about the fall of the Berlin Wall. That would be like Berliners would probably be like, we are very aware of this story.

We know, mate. But it'd be sick to... Maybe you should do it about David Hasselhoff singing at the Berlin Wall, because everyone outside of Germany always talks about that. Yeah. All right, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. Now, if you love soup, then this is the place that you want to go to. This is Marty's Soup Pool. This is a pool you can both drink and swim in.

At Marty's soup pool Every day is a different soup the soup du jour you will absolutely bathe in today is Minestrone watch out for those chunks We still doing ads at the halfway yeah, yeah, it's still doing ads loving that ad Great raid I think Sorry, what was the client's name again? Marty, wasn't it? I think Marty would be stoked. Yeah.

Marty's got to be very happy with that read. I mean, you're reading it. You're reading his copy, but... Yeah, aren't you meant to inject it with some of your own like personal Like a time you used the soup Pool. Oh, I remember when I went to the super pool It was a hearty Irish stew hardly a soup, but A really good time because I'm a fitness freak

and when I go there, I'm there to swim. A lot of people there are there to float, but in a thin soup, it's very easy to be, to float away. But in a thick, dense hearty stew, you sink to the bottom very easy. You struggle to stay above. And that's what I like. It's an it was an Olympic stew.

I get it. That's fantastic. Was the best workout I had all month. I love coming up with stuff. It's so fun. What's the beer Al? Is it Canadian? It's boreal.

So it's, it's a, it's kind of one of the cheaper ones. I think it must be, it is Canadian, but also here it's really common that you can at the supermarket get really strong beers. So it's like, oh, and then we also had this tonight. Hang on. We had one that's called Lefebvre's Monde, which is the end of the world and it's 9%. Yeah, right. Fun. It's actually pretty well balanced for a 9% beer. like you don't taste the alcohol very much it's actually probably one of my favorite beers I've had here I don't know if you

know this but I'm actually a big Cooper's guy Coopers yeah Coopers is probably like Cooper's green or red is probably some of my favorite beers of the shrine and actually Cooper stout I really love Cooper stout extra stuff is love Cooper Stout, extra stuff. Is that embarrassing? No, no, not as embarrassing as swimming in a pool full of soup. Yeah, that's true. That would be embarrassing, especially because I didn't mention it, but I was swimming nude. Is there is there a German word for having to cope with so many Germans?

Yeah, it's called Schmaden-Daden. Schmaden-Daden. Even your making up of German words sounds very English. Really? That's because I don't remember any German words anymore. There was a Facebook post going around recently about why there's so many pigeons everywhere, which was exactly that, that we used to use them for communication like that. But then it doesn't explain why there's so many of those little brown birds

around. This sounds a bit like Rachel discrimination. Do you mean the Indian miners? No, not the Indian miners, which I believe we prefer to call the common miner these days. Mr. accusing me of Rachel discrimination. No, the common isn't the common miner, the noisy miner. Yeah, noisy miner.

That's what the Indian miners are. They're always bloody calling you in your house while you're having dinner. Thought that was a bit much, mate. I was taking on a character. I'm so sorry, Tamara and Serendu, I've invited here. I was telling them that it was going to be good fun for all. You couldn't have a more diverse cast here today. Arguably. You couldn't have a more diverse cast here today. Two accountants and an engineer.

One person who's literally far away. Diversity in space matters too, actually.
