Hello, Matt here, letting you know that I've got some shows coming up in Brisbane. We're doing a live, who knew it, and I'm also doing a stand-up show in my show, Ding, at the Caxton Street Festival in the 19th of October. And then I'm going to be in Geelong, working on an hour of new material on the 31st of October at the brewery there. Geez, I'm looking forward to that. Then, of course, I'm flying over with my friends, Jess and Dave, to do a tour of Europe, for Dewgo On, but at the end of that tour, I'm doing three, who knew it shows with stand-up as well. In London on the 17th of November, Leicester on the 21st of November, and Edinburgh on the 23rd of November. Cannot wait to do all of these shows, hopefully we'll see you there. You can find tickets at mattstewitcomedy.com. Mattstewitcomedy.com. My dad works in B2B marketing. He came by my school for career day and said he was a big row as man.

I'm the titular Mattstewit. Our first guest won the most outstanding shot in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2023. It's Julian Cosgrove. Oh, it's me. Hello. I specified 2023 for that reason. I didn't look that far back, but assume our other guests also have won in the party. Everyone gets a go. The future. Yeah, that's true. They wouldn't be listening to this at any point. Our second guest this week is host of The Four Burners Podcasts. It's Joshua. Yay, that's me. Have you won most outstanding show? In Perth, I did. Yeah, there you go. In 2012. Good year. 2012. Is that the cake show? It was the cake show. What a show. It was. It was a good show. And I'd already done it two years before in Melbourne. And I thought, "Oh, Perth can have this old show." And they liked it. Yeah, they ate it up. In your bio, do you have Perth 2021 at 2012 in Brackett, or do you just write most outstanding show? It's not even in there. Oh, my goodness. Smosh. I'm sorry. It doesn't make it any more. Our third guest performs improv with his wife and a team called a newlyweds is Marcel Blanch the Wilt. It's true. Hello, everyone. It's a thrill to be here. You had too many things to choose from. Oh, well, I'm wearing many hats. Yeah. That's what your bias says. Yeah. That's what it's like. Marcel wears many hats. Yes. Now that you've been married for almost a decade, are you going to change the name to? Old Leeweds. The old ball and chain. Who wants to be, who gets to be the old ball and chain? And what's the other, I'm the prisoner and she's the old ball and chain is at the idea. Yeah. I think that is the idea. Yeah. Okay. Great. Yeah. Is that how you're feeling? Yeah. My wife is currently on a cruise ship job the last three months. So I feel like I'm in a relationship with someone who's been cursed by Davey Jones himself. Oh. Okay. She's not having an affair. That's what I thought you were going to say. I feel like I'm in a relationship with someone who's got a secret second family. She's in the right way. She's in the right way. She's in the right way. She's in the right way. She's in the right way. She's in the right way with Poseidon. Oh. That's all. Okay. So the way the show works is asked 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 while I've got you, why not follow us on Instagram, Facebook or whatever? Who knew a pod filming episodes now and I'm putting up a clip. Every now and then. And I'm not even aiming to bring that up to a one or a week. Can you check in with us and tell us like if a moment was clip worthy across this episode? Me? Yeah. Alright. No, let's ask. Listen, let's do that. Okay. Maybe if we're in a clip moment, just give me a thumb and I'll make it up. I think putting it up every now and then is also really good as a fan. Oh, I don't have to worry about missing one every day is like every now and then I can deal with that. Exactly. All right. So the first question comes from listener Melanie from Melbourne and the question is what does Tottie Mungus mean? What does Tottie Mungus mean? Well, they're writing their answer, 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. By the way, I'm also playing as the house and I've put into my own fake answers for each question with the help of the question writers. And we get a point for each one of those that I guess choose. So each of us can scrub to three points per round, which seems fair. But according to a mathematician who listens, the probability, the probability actually favors me, the house. And the house always wins. Although if you listened to previous episodes, you'll know that is not necessarily the case. Anyway, most of our questions come from our great Patreon supporters. If you want to submit a question sign up on any level via patreon.com/dougourampod, which is linked in the show notes. I like that this question is from Mel from Mel. Mel from Mel. Mel from Mel. Mel Mel. Good. Mel Mel. The answer is for question number one. What does tottymungus mean? The practice of pouring out whiskey barrel dregs and or peat bog. Something that is surprisingly small compared to how you imagined. A word to describe an extremely attractive woman. A huge mug of hot Irish whiskey. Something that looks large from a distance, but turns out to be remarkably smaller when you get closer to it. Or a hot drink for when you have a cold, including honey whiskey and mushroom fungi. There's a couple here there. There's some themes going on. Yeah. You want to work us through your logic there, Marcel? I mean, I think they're all great. I am always excited when people, I mean, also when people go, oh yeah, I'm such a unique thinker. And then we see so many of them. But pretty much I'm hooked from the number one, I think that one is great. It's the number one. They're pouring out whiskey. All right. Lock them in for Marcel. What do you think to him? I'm going to go with the absolute outlier because to me, this feels like wildly preposterous that tottymungus is a word for an extremely attractive woman that feels like chaos. And I choose chaos today, I think. You can't picture yourself, you know, walking down the street going, oh, oh, yeah, oh, I'm going to get a tottymungus over the head. Tottymungus in your bio? I do now. There's your name. Good. Tottymungus. It's got such a yucky mouth to say to a friend of mine who I won't say his name, but not the smartest guy in the world. And he'd heard of innuendo, but didn't know what it meant. And so once we walked past some young women, this is when we were like 18 and he goes, check out the innuendo on there. He's got a stab at him. He had to go. I think this one is the one where you see it from far and it's bigger than when it's up. No, it's smaller than you think. Some of it looks large from a distance, but turns out to be remarkably small and yet close to it. That's what I'm going to go for. All right. I'll come in for Josh. Here's who wrote the answers. A hot drink for any other cold, including honey, whiskey, and mushroom fungi. That was Josh Earl. Mm hmm. Let's do them. Hot toddy. I would like one of those. I was thinking the same huge mug of hot orange whiskey. That was the house. Melanie, aka the house, wrote something that is surprisingly small compared to how you imagined. Then something that looks large from a distance, basically the same thing, but turns out to be remarkably smaller when you get closer to it. Josh went for that. That was Marcel. Marcel gets involved. I'm proud of that one. I was proud of that one. I realized that Melanie. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, maybe I'm under something. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I was wondering if you're going to go for the alternative, but no. You went for the practice of pouring out whiskey barrel, dregs, and all Pete. Bog, that was Gillian. Oh, it's very good. No one would ever pour dregs into a bog. Have you met Pete Bog? I didn't have a mic with him. Beautiful, man. That was fun. Three of us went for whiskey. But that means, Gillian, you're also correct or we're just grabbing an extremely attractive woman. Oh, my goodness. How are you? How are you? It's a regional dialect thing, apparently, from certain areas of New South Wales. No, really? Not even Irish? No, it doesn't. It sounds like it's not Australian, Totti Mungus. Is it based on Totti Goldsmith? Yeah. Yeah. And the TV show, you know I once met Totti Goldsmith when I was like 13 years old. Wow. Did you like her innuendo? I thought she had that. And fire was a very popular TV show. So she came to our town for some charity event. And the woman who was organizing it thought it'd be very cute to have like door people there. And because I was in the local theater scene, she goes, Josh, you'll be fine. And so I was opening the door for everyone. And Totti Goldsmith thought I was adorable, kissed me on the cheek, both cheeks. And it was like, I got to go home and go, Totti Goldsmith, kiss me. Yeah. Yeah. Huge. Fantastic. Never watching these cheeks again. Totti Mungus. All right, after one round, the scores are Josh and the House on Zero, Marcel on one, but out in front of really Totti Mungus, two points, it's Gilead and Koster. Here is question number two. Comes from two people, two different listeners sent this one in, Dominic Hood from Stratford upon Avon, Shakespeare's, remember, and Rebecca Lorring from Montrose, Tasmania. That's mine. That's mine. No, it's down south, I think. Right. But, I mean, you're Australia's, bard. Yeah. Yes. And the other people write my stuff for me. All right, so that question is, which of these are real bird? So you're just going to make up a fake species of bird, you know, something a little exotic and unusual sounding. Oh, great. You just want to name or you want? Just the name. Okay, great. Well, you're writing your answers is a little more info about Totti Mungus, malony writes. I found this word in the Macquarie dictionary because we're moving house and I've packed all my books already, but needed something to read so I didn't just scroll my phone while eating lunch. As soon as I read it, I thought Matt needs to know this for who knew it and got on my phone to submit this thus thwarting my brilliant plan to staff my phone. According to a 2002 article in the age, the word is a redraw from New South Wales, it means a well proportioned woman, which I don't know, that feels worse, but what is it? Yeah, anyway, it's like the old fashioned movies where like women would be called hints and more and it was like a much more sort of, but he say it these days and like, oh, what are you trying to say to me? Why don't you just call me Totti Mungus, like a real man. Well proportioned. I don't know. It's something about well proportion feels a bit, no, it feels great, actually. It feels fantastic, I'm going to start saying it more. Alright, we've got the answers in for question number two, which of these are real bird? The Egyptian cotton pile, the long lost robin, that's option two, option three, Tudus Magudus. Option four, the great eared night jar, option five, long toed hobgoblin, or option six, wit-baked saura, Jillian, your turn to go first. I'm scared of birds, I have to be honest with you, ducks have it in for me. Are you able to hold it together when things moment or do you? Yeah, I'm going to try my bit evidently no. I mean, if you're at a duck pond, doesn't like that. What's helpful is that people don't think it's real, like one time I was with my partner and he seemed meat, he knows that I'm not a grain with birds and I remember we were sitting there and the way these ducks just came for us and he was like, 'I see it now, we shouldn't' I think what would make me send in something, it would have to be hobgoblin. To me, that's kooky enough that I'd be like, 'This'll get them'. Yeah. I think that's my choice. Long toed hobgoblin. Yeah, go on. I think I'm with you kind of with birds, but only if they're coming for me. Yeah. I like them at a distance. Yeah, it's just a beak as a shiv on your face. Yeah, yeah. They can attack you from all angles. Yeah, and they can remember you, which I don't, when people are like, 'Magpies are so smart, they can remember you'. I'm like, 'Stop saying that, like a blast'. In Tazzy, there were plovers and they swooped. In my family school. Yeah, my primary school. Yeah, but I'm not going to be talking, so I was petrified of them, but friends of mine will go, 'Let's go get swooped for fun, let's go get swooped'. And so I, walking home, would take an umbrella and I was the only kid who would walk with an umbrella. For your big head. Yeah, if I was walking home, I would have the umbrella up so the birds couldn't swoop me. That's very smart. Yeah. At some point. At some point. Point extra over here. Take that. Liz, you're going to have that. Yeah, I, yeah, I do not like that. I thought there were plovers. Maybe they weren't plovers that talky. One time we were staying at the caravan park there and we had to walk past their nest. Are they, are they the ones that nest on the ground? Dumb birds nest on the ground, yes. Yeah. And they would, you know, get very protective. Yeah. And walk from the caravan park to the beach, you have to walk right past it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I still don't like plovers. I still think magpies. No one's stealing your eggs. Yeah. No one, no one wants this piece of this. Speak for yourself, Josh. But Jillian isn't that the point like if you're nice or may remember that as well? Yes. That is true. Yeah. Michelle Brazier has like a whole family of magpies that comes to her balcony every day. Of course she does. She's Cinderella. Like it makes sense. You know, some people can, but also I got enough friends. I don't need bird friends. Yeah. They're cool. Don't tell the birds that. You guys are great. I'm a durich half. I like that little bit of shade. You gave them a shell. She needs them. Yeah. All right. Josh, what do you think? The nitro. Was that the woodwork? Great, eared nitro. That's the one I'm going for. And you might say. I also was going to look in nitro and then I do, just like in ordering in a restaurant when someone orders something that you were going to order, sometimes go, "Oh, no. Do I want to be a copycat?" I was brought up to think that copycat is the worst. I don't think you can be, but I'm going to stick to my guns and say, "Night jar." Could you go to order something else and have a little bit of Josh's? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. All right. These are the answers. The Egyptian cotton pile, that was Dominic, one of the question writers. Okay. They have. Really good. The flit baked saura was Gillian. Mm-hmm. Tutus McGoonis was Josh. Yeah. Every time on the pot I put in tutus McGoonis in something something. I think originally it was for a Star Wars character, and yeah, we laughed for a quarter while. The long-lost Robin was Marcel. Long-towed hobgobun. Gillian went for that. That was actually Rebecca, another one of the question writers, okay, the house, meaning the correct answer. Josh and Marcel got it. The great ear to "Night jar." Night jar? Good to be a copycat. Good to be. I like a night jar as well. Yeah. What a good combination of words. It's really good. Gillian's writing down some lyrics for a new song. I fear the night jar or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. That's what your drinker, Tottie Mung, is from. A night jar. I met a guy in Brisbane who drinks pickled juice and vinegar out of the fridge at night, and so he'd probably think of that as the night jar. Yeah, that's nice. That's really lovely. But if I try and sell that as a way to stop cramping. Oh, really? Oh, he says he drinks it until he stomach hurts, so he might be. Oh, okay. That's for so cool. Is it the salt? It must be the salt, right? Yeah. Well, it's the brine. The brine. So after two rounds, scores are Josh in the house on one point of peace, but out in front on two points, it's Gillian and Marcel. Oh, Nick and Nick. Here is question three. This comes from Tom in inverted commas Badger Hill from Rotherham in the UK. Like a person who keeps that nickname, you know, wherever they go. I'd like to think that Tom Badger Hill, that's his name at the bank. He writes, "What is a Lichtenstein-based fact from the 1936 Olympics in Berlin?" So something Lichtenstein-y from the Berlin Olympics in 1936. Something that stood out that year. Yeah. Someone from that Olympics. It involves Lichtenstein. Okay. While you're running your answer, I'll let the audience know a bit more about these great eared night jars. According to Dominic, they're native to Southeast Asia, and they look like a creature straight out of a fantasy novel with dragon-like features. It's larger ear-like tufts, nocturnal habits, and stealthy flight through dense forest earned its reputation as one of the world's mystical birds. They're not a real dragon. Glad you don't qualify that, Dominic. It's haunting call, and ethereal appearance make it a marvel. I've got to look this bird up. Rebecca writes, "Lock up your goats!" It's the great eared night jar. This big-mouthed, long-eared milk gobbler of a bird will desiccate your bleaters and leave them blind. At least that's what Aristotle thought. According to the renowned Greek philosopher, night jars suckle directly from the udders of goats. Bear in mind, however, he also believed eels spontaneously generate from mud, so grain of salt. But myths are hard to shake, and so the night jar is still known to some as the goat sucker. All hundred-ish species of night jars are insectivorous, and may have been attracted to domestic livestock to feed on the insects that associate with them. The name night jar refers to their nocturnal nature and their calls, which are said to be jarring. Although, having heard a clip, to me, they sound rather like a bird. You should do documentary, yeah. That was very soothing. Yeah, that was lovely. What are you saying about Nicknames and this Tom Badger guy, and how this, what is it, the goat sucker? Yeah, the goat sucker. Yeah, that's like a high school nickname that just never went away. I sucked off one goat. I'm a lawyer now. I need you to stop calling me there. Call me the Badger. Yeah, apparently, I've got to look them up, because reccorites, like all night jars, the great eared variety is a camouflage expert during the day it hides in plain sight among the woody undertones of the forest, where it's subtle feathery palette of greys, browns and ochres help to break up the bird's outline and blend seamlessly into the background. Is it a pile of leaves? Is it a tree stump? Is it even there at all? Evolution has sculpted the great eared night jar into a true master of disguise. How am I just filming a pile of logs as well? This pile of leaves sounds awful. Are you getting curious to see what it looks like, because that people used to think it was like a dragon or something. Where are birds ears? Where are they? Yeah. Good question. That's a good title for a show. Thank you. That's pretty amazing. Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. Thanks. No, thank you. I think they're just on the side, I suppose, if I had to guess. Are they just holes? Yeah, they probably are just holes, but I guess they're talking about whatever those are. They're where you like projecting ears onto them, but they're really just... Can a listener please photoshop some ears, like some human ears on a bird? Yeah, big one. I mean, they look pretty. I mean, yeah. That's a pretty cool looking bird, I think. Oh, yeah. That's sick in full flight. Yeah. It's really giving. Yeah. Even I can respect that. That is high price. That's a real toddy mungus up there, right there. Beautifully, yeah, beautifully proportioned bird. That is an ornithologist, I always say, I'm like that. You ever read descriptions on bird watching websites, or it's like, they're beautiful feathers. I couldn't think of any other like bird colliders. Feathers. There's a lot of haunches. Not any talons? Oh, wow. Talons, yeah. Alright. Question number three, the answers are in what is a Lichtenstein based fact from the 1936 Olympics in Berlin? I hope I'm shining that right, is there anyone know how to... Lichtenstein? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. The capital is Vaduz, which is also good to say. Oh, okay. There's very interesting, Jillian already, I think. Yeah, that's good. How's the main the game there? The automatic pique quality vaduz, sounds like you're putting down your luggage. Yeah. Oh, it's giving Schwarzenäger vaduz. Buddy slamming somebody. Yeah. Here are your options. Option one, they were the only nation with 100% of their team meddling. This is because they only sent one athlete who bronzed in weightlifting. Option two, upon arriving, they realized their flag was identical to that of Haiti, leading them to have to change it the following year. Option three, the long jump was canceled when the rain washed away all of the sand in the jumping pit. Option four, they wanted to distance themselves from the past, from their past, being part of Germany following the rise of the Nazis. They banned all athletes from wearing Hitler-style mustaches. Good. Option five, they received a copper medal for fourth place in archery as there are only four competitors in the event. Or finally, Liechtenstein had only one athlete participate who was also a bus driver. Sorry, the bus driver. Also, the bus driver. That changes it quite a bit. All right. Maybe I'll quickly run through them again. Yes, please. So you got it. The only team with 100% meddling, because it was only one, they had changed their flag because they realized it was the same as Haiti. Long jump was canceled because of a storm. They weren't allowed to have Hitler-mustaches. They received a copper medal for fourth place, or they had only one athlete participate who was also the bus driver. I'll go copper medal. A copper medal for Josh. These are all good. There's some really good ones in here, so now I don't know what to believe. But I might just throw caution to the wind and go, "That's got a Haiti flag." Haiti flag. Okay, great. Nobody can change it when I talk, right? We locked in, Joshua? Yeah, we locked in. Well, now I'm in my room. When I heard you say the capital victim started, I'm like, "All right. Jillian's got some knowledge here." I have, and the last many has become a geography queen because I am avoiding all of my actual work all the time. You keep spitting that globe on your table. Yeah, it's very that. So there's things that also, why would there be a bus if there's one person? Do you like the canonical? Well, okay, let me explain. There's someone who's just had this. Before they do anything, the bus is the first thing they book in. Oh, sure. Before anyone qualifies. Okay, good. Really good logic. I thought when the bus was driving the athletes from the village to the event, and then the bus driver went, "You know what, I don't want to talk to the other teams." Yeah, all the athletes say the village, and then the bus driver drives in. But surely every country has their own bus, they can't be mixing on the bus. No, no, 36. Do you think there's all about everyone coming together? Oh, yeah. Yes, we are post World War I and II, so people are really like, "I think everything's going to be fun." We are in Nazi Germany. It could have been like Disney movie-type premise where it's like, "The Olympics can't go ahead unless there's someone from every country. We need a Lichtensteinian." Oh, yeah. And the bus driver's like, "Oh, I've actually got a dual citizen." Yeah. I've got a Lichtenstein. I have to say this, because I've been thinking about it for two minutes. The duals is the sound that Lichtenstein Netflix makes when you come check this out. Sorry. For me, it has to be number one, weightlifting, I think. All right. Lock that in for Julian. See, I don't think so, because this is my thing, and I'll probably be proven incorrect. What do you know about weightlifting? No, I was going to say, because why would a country want the Olympics if they don't have any athletes competing in it? Because it's post World War I and it's like, "Guys, we all have to go. We have to go to the party. The last party went so badly." They're not there. It's not there. It appears. Germany's hosting it. This is the Lichtenstein same. So they're, I think they're landlocked. Oh, sorry. They are landlocked. Do you even know this? Are they, are they fully, they're not fully surrounded by Germany, but they're fully surrounded like Germany and Austria or something? Yeah, I think so. It's tiny, right? It's so you drive across it in an hour. It was, I did a cantiqui door when I was like 19. That was, I think, 12 countries in 20 days. But one of them was Lichtenstein. One was the Vatican grow up. You can call it small. I call it Todimungus. I think it's a beautifully proportioned country out here. It's funny you say a Vatican. We got a Vatican question coming up. Yes. All right. So here's who wrote the answers. Lichtenstein had, let me read it correctly one time for myself. Lichtenstein had only one athlete participate who was also the bus driver. I don't know. Yeah. I mentioned that for you, but yeah, it was fine. I could have won this game, but... It was the most joyful. I enjoyed it. Thank you so much. Hitler Moustaches were banned. That was Badger in the house. Classic Badger. The long jump was canceled because of the rain. That was Josh Earl. Uh, Gillian went for, they got bronze on the weightlifting. That was the house. I'm afraid Gillian. Oh my goodness. That was right into the house. God, like a fool. Josh went for copper medal for fourth place. That was Gillian. Oh, it was good. It was really good. I like Gillian. I really wish it was true, so it could be like, even Nazi Germany now giving you like parts of your portion of what's that. And that means that the correct answer, Marcel got it. They had the identical flag and had to change it. Those ones are so different. They are now. That's wild. That's so funny that they didn't know that another country had this flag until the Olympics. Pre-internet, you turn it up, compare it flags. So, Haiti's flag must have changed because the Haiti flag has a badge in the center of it that's like some pretty specific stuff from Haiti. Yes. Oh, I found it. Is that right? It's got like a tree in the middle, it sort of like looks like a palm tree that I remember it. But they both ended up changing them. Ligenstein has a crown now, it's very cheap. They both went away and changed it and then came back and it was the same. I don't know. Let's stay in the same room and we'll do it together. Australia, when they were forming their flag, they put it out there for people to like submit options. And one of the options was a kangaroo shooting a rifle into the Southern Cross. Yeah, right. We could have had that in an alternate universe. So yeah, they are, so that's Haiti's current one. So we're looking at blue and red with a little thing in the center and then. Oh, I see, yes. But before the pictures, they were just the blue and red. Okay. So Ligenstein changed theirs by adding a crown in the top left corner. Sort of what would we call it like a navy blue and a crimson? Yeah, it's got a, it's a striking flag, but you can also understand why it might have pretty been taken. Yes. Went for two primary colours. Half and half. I don't think anyone else will come up with it. There are a lot of those though. There's one that's like just a marginally different shade of red. Yeah. I think it's like Monaco and maybe Indonesia. Yeah. You did your flags. I just did flags because I was meant to be writing a musical. That's so funny. And you didn't go for the flag one because you had too much information. Yep. Right. Interesting. I'm so confident, insufferable. So that means in that round, the house gets a point, Marcel gets a point, and Julian gets a point. What's the long way into way of saying everyone but Josh gets a point? No. Hey, we liked the, I mean, I don't know about, you think in '96 they hadn't invented tarps to put over the, the long jump sand? I just saw a big, big storm, washes all the sand away. Someone jumps in. And what it sound like if I look at the sky in my hand. After three round scores, Joshua won a house on two, but out in front still on three points of peace. It's Julian and Marcel. Oh my goodness. This could tear our friendship apart. Yeah. We're halfway through now. Here's a question from a four. Oh my god, the medal. It looks so good on you. This is from Tess Matthews from Manchester in the UK. The question is, what village was voted as having the UK's worst place name in 2012? What village was voted as having the UK's worst name in 2012? Well, you're writing your answers. This is a little more info about Lichtenstein's flag, Korna Badger. Ultimately changing the flag was unnecessary, as Julian's already mentioned, because Haiti updated its flag 50 years later to include a white box that has pictures of cannons on it. So as neither country won any medals at that Olympics, the confusion about the flags didn't actually come up. Additionally, Lichtenstein has never won a medal at the Summer Olympics, and Haiti didn't attend the Winter Olympics until 2022, where neither country won a medal. He's badgerily laid into Lichtenstein and Haiti there felt unnecessary, but I appreciate it all the same. All right, while you're still writing your answers, let's go for a quick break. My dad works in B2B marketing. He came by my school for career day and said he was a big row as man, then he told everyone how much he loved calculating his return on ad spend. My friends still laughing me to this day. Not everyone gets B2B, but with LinkedIn, you'll be able to reach people who do. Get a $100 credit on your next ad campaign. Go to linkedin.com/results to claim your credit that's linkedin.com/results. Terms and conditions apply, linkedin, the place to be, to be. All right, we're back. Here's question number four. What village was voters having the UK's worst name, place name in 2012? Barkingcock. Ooh, mid-bottom. Clunge on stoat. Bims of pricksville, crummy flaps, or shit-a-ton. Oh, that is an embarrassment of riches. It's back to me, isn't it? Back to you, yeah. I mean, that stoat got the biggest reaction from me. Let's get this. What was it? Clunge on stoat. Clunge on stoat. Yeah, that's good. All right, looking at it for myself. Jillian? I think it's got to be Barkingcock. And I've always said that. It sounds like a troubling diagnosis. Yeah, like your cock's got whooping cock. Coming back to report that to your partner. It's not good news. He's down on your own big sonnet. Gonna put it in a darkened room for a, for a, for a, a night-lone sort of situation. I'm gonna go shit-a-ton. Shit-a-ton. Beautiful. Yeah. What a beer. It's a beautiful country. Beautiful people. Beautiful food. God, what is it saying? That's like a really bad, like, Bridgeton parody. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. The musical. Shit-a-ton. The musical. All right. Here's her at the answers. Crummy flaps. That was the house. Mm-hmm. Also a troubling diagnosis. Mid-bottom. That was Tess. Okay. The house. She did say that she, she went through and wanted to make sure her fake answer wasn't a real place. Look at her ages. Everything she thought of was already taken, including lower-bottom, so she had to up-it to mid-bottom. All right. What else have we got? Barking cocks. Gillian went for that. That was Josh Earl. Really well done. Thank you so much. Really good work for me. Marcel went for Clunge on Stote. That was Gillian. Nice. It's worth it. It's worth rewarding that sort of penmanship. Thank you. Meaning Josh was correct. It's him. She did it. Oh, well done. Nice. Nicely done. So, geez. Josh has a good round there. Two points to Josh and another point to Gillian. A little bit of hustling going on from Josh. Yeah. I don't know how to play this game. Wow. That really tightens things up now. On two points, it's the house. On three points, Josh and Marcel, but out in front of four points of Gillian coming from most outstanding award. Steve update that resume. All right. Second last question comes from Kyle from Kansas in the United States. The question is, in 1998, a band was held in custody by Vatican Police. What was the band and why were they in trouble? In 1998, a band was held in custody by Vatican Police. What was the band and why were they in trouble? Well, you're writing your answers. Here's what Tess writes about Shittaton. "Shittaton is a Hamlet in Dorset, England. It has attracted worldwide attention for its name, which dates back at least a thousand years and means farmstead on the stream used as an open sewer." So it's not even a coincidence that it's got shit in the name. It is what it says it is. "Shittaton has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names. The Hamlet includes a collection of historic such buildings dating back to the 18th century and earlier." Tess also says, "My mum's friend used to live there when I was growing up, and the name has always made me laugh. Making fake answers for this is extra hard as most of the things I could think of are actual place names, such as lower bottom." All right. Here, the answer for question number five, "In 1998, a band was held in custody by Vatican Police. What was the band and why were they in trouble?" Backstreet Boys for posing with fans in the Sistine Chapel, Hull, Courtney Love, gave the finger to the Pope, Radiohead, Tom York kissed Johnny Greenwood in a public protest against the Vatican's stance on homosexuality. That's option three, option four. The presidents of the United States of America arrested on suspicion that the lyrics for Peaches had hidden satanic messages, option five, Cradle of Filth, keyboardist Lecter was dressed as a vicar, or option six, Baba the Abba Tribute Act, because Vatican City has strict copyright laws and Tribute Acts need special license which Baba did not have. Well, those all feel plausible. In 1998, all of those feel real. They've hit our sweet spot. Oh my. Okay. Backstreet Boys, Hull, Radiohead, Presidents, Cradle of Filth, or Baba. Oh, God. Yeah, because we hope that you'd be able to get anachronistic or whatever. You'd be able to go. Actually, they didn't form till June of '99. Well, this is where Josh is at. This is Josh's flags. I think this is your geography round, right? Oh, gosh. All of these feel achievable to me. Have Radiohead been arrested? Like are they badass enough? I just don't know. Whereas Courtney Love feels too obvious, Backstreet Boys feels plausible, but 98. Are they in Rome yet? You know? Are they there? Our Backstreet Bank. I'm actually back. Are they cemented? Which Josh told us on the sister podcast list to go on that that was their first single, Backstreet's Bank. They wanted to be their first single in America. Yes. Oh, good. And the record level, I think. But you can't be back. We don't know who you are. But back from the shops. Back from something. Back from somewhere. Yeah. But also the same thing with Return of the Mac. That was a song, but there was never a max here. Yeah. We just were straight to Return of the Mac. Time with Mac. I did. Some pride, right? So you just assume. Oh, geez. This Mac guy. Yeah. He's got a history. But the thing about how many people didn't listen to that song is like, I haven't heard the first one. Oh, that's true. People don't want to miss anything. It could have been a big hit. Yeah, exactly. I'm going to take Hull. Hull. Okay. Yeah. You went from too obvious to locking it in. Yeah. I went, what is that? The razor? Mmm. That one. Yeah. It's one of the big razors. Yeah. It's one of the, one of the big razors. Yeah. That's a great one. The best American get outrageous. What do you reckon? I'm going to go back straight boys and they, they'd been touring around Europe. They'll be in Europe before they hit America. So I think, you know, Vatican City might be on the touring schedule. Yeah. Right. Okay. Or at least like as a stop off if they're near Rome, is it? It's inside Rome. So yeah, it's filled like you'd stop there. It's good by Rome. It is good. It is good. As they're anthongers. Yeah. Do we need it? I just want to quickly explain it to him. Mmm. It's nice. It's good. It's one of our great words in Australia. It's featured in our national anthem and we all love gert. It means surrounded by. Yeah. And the only reason we know that is because of the anthem. Yes. Oh, myself? Oh man. I was also leaning towards backstreet boys. It makes a lot of sense. And also, if it's early days, they're not getting the respect. Yeah. If later on, they could come back there and do it, but they could have whipped on the street. And we love. Thanks for coming. Yeah. Timberlake. Oh my goodness. That's NSYNC. Oh, damn it. I don't know. My voice from my sink. This is embarrassing. Cut that out. This is my real specter. Yeah. Cut that bit out where I got one thing wrong. Okay. My fans need me to know that I'm perfect at all times. That's so kind of, you're really just annoyed kind of there. He edits this. He's going to make you sound real bad. Oh, no. Oh, this is a cotter pod. That's why it sounds so good. You have it. You've dined with Josh once today. Yeah. Exactly. Now we're thinking. We're sort of up to dessert now, ish, and going for the same order. You don't want me to pick from your plate, but what about whatever's left over on your plate? Can I have some of that? Yeah. Dessert you can. I can have some of that. Like my flan. Wow. Wow. That's, now that's poetry. Write that down. Do you hear lyrics in the wall and go, "I've got to write down." I'm sure. Trust, I'm going to go. Trust. I'm going to go with my heart. And I'm going to go with Backstreet Boys. Backstreet Boys. All right. Look at him from our cell. Here's what the answer is. Baba the ABBA Tribute Act. That was Joshua. Yeah. Baba Bia. They're a proper tribute act too. But I can't believe you didn't go for one of your, one, a 90s band. Interesting. Well, I just thought, who's two? Because I'm going to show them the act. I don't think Paul are going to the Vatican City to perform. I don't think Cradle Field's are going. I don't think Radiohead would be there either. But no one today are performing there. But they were there. Yeah. So I'm thinking... They're humans. I don't think Cradle Field's are going. Let's go. Pop into the Pope. Sorry. And was I right in saying license? Oh, what did I write? I think it was a type of loco movie. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm like... I started sweating like, oh, this is a specific Latin. I thought it might have been a Latin like religious term. You did a beautiful job, Matt. You're getting better and better at poker face. Yeah, yeah. I have it in the past. I'm not done. I've faked like having a bit of a moment. What? Like that? Yeah. Oh, sorry. My vision has got blurry. Sorry. And then I have to say, I was fine there. Because everyone's game. I was just trying not to ruin the game. He explains the smelling salts you have on the table. Yeah. But now I've given that away. I can't use that in the classroom. That's bad. Bad boy was mine. Bad boy was yours. Thank you, Josh. You're so good at this. Thanks. Yeah. The presidents of the United States of America. That was Marcel. Mm-hmm. I reckon that's right in the area, isn't it? Well, I was pretty happy with that one. Was that a rumor anyway about peaches that it had satanic verses? No. Is that really not a real thing? There's millions of peaches, peaches for me. Millions of peaches, peaches. Yeah. One of those ones that people go... Oh, he's a man. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that was a real rumor. But maybe you've just convinced me. Well, this convinced you're close enough, didn't it? Radiohead, that was Kyle in the house. Hull, which Jillian went for. That was the house I'm afraid. It was so obvious that I wrote it. Josh and Marcel went for the Backstreet Boys. That was Jillian. Oh, I loved you explaining to me that there would be to be your favorite time. Maybe the correct answer was Cradle of Fills. Oh, my goodness. My theory is out the window. They went there for an article feature on them and to get photos there, I guess. Yeah, exactly. Jumps to position of the satanic. Is that literally... Are they like a... I think... What's their genre? They dab it in the dark arts. It's like Emo's hanging out at the train station. It's like, we're not supposed to be here, but we're going to sit on these stairs. They're daytime. Let me just double check. There will be... They're a stream metal band. Extreme. Yeah. And they write their own bio, so they're able to sell it. We're extreme. We're not gone. We're actually pretty badass. So, two points for Jillian 1.4. The house. Oh, I should have... This is interesting. Sometimes I get very competitive in this game, but I think because, Jill, you're just a delightful human being that I'm like, "Oh, I'm not thinking too much about like... I'm not going to be giving another point to you." Just any family member of mine that listens to this is like, "That is a lie." Do not play a game with her. She's a monster. They're trying to call into the vodka. Stop. Don't let it get away with it. So, one round ago, and the score's, uh... Josh on three points. The house on three points. Marcel on three points. But out in front on double that amount on six points is Jillian Cosgrove. Would you say it's anyone's game? It is truly anyone's game. Good thing this round's worth four points. This way, Brian, is worth triple points. Okay, perfect. It is. For everyone, this is apart from the house. And some listeners are starting to get annoyed by that. They want the house to have equal advantage. Um, and look, I've taken that note on board and I'll think about it. But I really don't like winning that much. That feels so weird to invite people to do a podcast to beat them. Have a go. That's why I don't have a podcast. Uh, all right. Final question comes from Connor Schmidt, actually the editor of the show from Boom. Oh, one of my favorite editors. Uh, Connor hasn't written a question before. Uh, and his question is, what is the synopsis of the 1991 film, a French film, La Totale. Can you spell that? L.A.? Oh, do you do French? No. Oh, I would have been so good for someone here to be able to pronounce it right. L.A.? Yeah. And then space bar. T.O.T.? L.A.? La Totale. No, that's what it's telling, isn't it? T.O.T? La Totale. La Totale. Listening to an audio book and they said, you know, "Enfantan Terrible." "Enfantan Terrible." Oh, it sounds so good. Oh, man. That's so good. Can you say it one more time? L.A.T. Terrible. Oh, I love it. Merci, booko. Um, you're about to go to Europe. You can try and work that into a sentence. Well, here we are in 1991. 1991. Thank you. Uh, and you want to write like a, this one's about a paragraph. Three, four, five sentences. So long. You can be a longest answer. Well, you're writing those answers. Here's some more info about cradle of filth in the Vatican City. Caught in a coil. It is illegal in the Vatican City to impersonate a priest. The police angrily pointed machine guns at them during the arrest. Though they didn't seem to mind the Jesus is a c*ck shirt. Another bandmate was wearing. Anyway, journalist Jason Arnop was with the band at the time and he wrote about the experience for louder sound. All of a sudden, this is, uh, c*rdon to him. All of a sudden, we're surrounded by armed guards. Six or seven of them. Leveling submachine guns right at us. Even worse, they're seriously pissed off. Right in the face, they shout at Lector until he hands over the collar. Which is shaken aloft in a self-righteous fist. I've never been held at gunpoint before or since, but you won't be shocked to hear it's no fun. A sick feeling grows in the pit of your stomach as you struggle to grasp that your very life now literally rests in the hands of others. Men who only need to pull a small metal lever to fire those obscene defices. When you're staring down the barrel, down that infinite black hole, guns have assuredly never seemed more wrong. Maybe if we explain that we have a gig to play with napalm death later on, considered "darnie" after 15 minutes of stilted interrogation. Luckily, a younger guard speaks English and mediates as we explain that we're not intending to assassinate the Pope. Do you know napalm death? I think this is the band. There's not an original member in the band, so the original members can all go and see napalm death before. Nice! Yeah. And they do? Sure. They're all still alive as well. That is fun. Yeah. Eventually thanks to this younger guy, calming things down the atmosphere began to cool. When the young guard, our saviour, tried to make conversation and ask what kind of music cradle of filth play, Rob's near evil music. To make matters worse, he says this with a doward northern accent, outrageous. Despite this setback, we are finally set free with a stern warning in Italian. That was quite amusing, "darnie" or "danny" reflects, as we rapidly leave the area. I must admit, everybody was shitting themselves somewhat. Different laws apply to the Vatican, so you could find yourself in a cell for the night with a good kicking. Vatican City is indeed a landlocked sovereign city-state with full independence. They can probably do pretty much whatever they please, just like the Pope. It was totally unreasonable, wrecking this guitar of Stuart. But I've seen unreasonable behaviour before in other countries. The police are more unreasonable in England than they are in most other places. I got nicked for walking down the street with intent to go home. That's good stuff from Stuart. Recalls Lecter. You could see the hatred in one bloke's eyes in particular. He would have tortured us and burnt us at the stake if he could have got away with it, and thought it was entirely justifiable. To see so much hatred in his eyes for something so ridiculous is wearing a vicar's top and an eye-loved Satan shirt. It was like going back 200 years. Total Fascism. Alright, here is the final question. What is the synopsis of the 1991 French film La Total? Stunning. That is beautiful. Okay. A French file set at a wedding. Two families meet for the first time, only to discover they are related. The parents of the nuptials try to stop the wedding only for the happy couple to find their requests and alloping. It caused controversy due to the actors playing the couple actually being a real life brother and sister. Ooh. That's option one. Strong start. Option two. Julian really backing herself right now. (laughter) Time to go. That is fun. Ooh. That is a good one. (laughter) Options. Yeah, that's a movie I've seen when I was progressing from running the show. Alright, second option. Two young lovers looking for a romantic getaway suddenly find themselves set upon by hordes of the undead. I'm like, "This sounds like the first one." Oh no, there's a joke. (laughter) Set against the backdrop of the French canals. Canals. He's an English word, babe. Yeah. (laughter) That's why it was one of them right? Yeah. Ag. Canals. (laughter) Canals. Canals. (laughter) I had it right at some point there. Yeah. Canal. French canals. The couple, that is an English word. The couple must find a way to survive the horrific onslaught while still managing to find time for a little bit of loving along the way. (laughter) Uh, option three. A couple celebrating their first anniversary is unable to pay their bill at a high end restaurant. They are ordered by the Matridi to work in the kitchen until they can pay back their debt. Will this be a night to remember? Or will Pierre and Eleanor be unable to handle the heat? That's option three. Option four. Camille struggles to fit in at France's most exclusive casino where she's just started working as a creepy A. With her tyrannical boss Claude always breathing down her neck, she just needs a break. When some rowdy baccarat players steal thousands of franks of chips. (laughter) (laughter) Camille lust tracks them down and recover the money before Claude realizes it's missing. Option five. To his family, Francois is nothing more than a humdrum civil servant. In truth, he's been working as a crack secret agent. All goes well until Francois discovers that his son has been skipping school. Using all the resources at his disposal, he tracks down his son. Or finally, a powerful depiction of the evolution of long division in French culture. (laughter) Detailing France's mathematical history, tracing all the way from the abacus to the controversial implementation of the calculator by Antoine Guiro at Le Cebon in the late 80s, which faced huge public outcry, and led to the Calcure rights of 1987. (laughter) Apologies if I got that French too correct. (laughter) You can be too French. Yeah, you can. All right. So Josh, this is your go. Do you need me to try and quickly summon or have an idea? No, I'll have an idea. I think I'm going to go with the crack super agent father tracking Danny, sir. Okay. Welcome, Adam, for Josh. What do you think, monster? There's some really beautiful ones in here. I particularly like that one that could not have been more French with the creepy air. Yeah. (laughter) Yeah. It felt like every fourth word better be something French. Like, there's an answer blank. Yeah, French. One way faster, participatory. (laughter) And so, yeah. It's hard. A lot of me with this sort of thing, the same with that game that shall not be mentioned. Bottadash that I just mentioned. I don't know if I'm not familiar with that. Sometimes I just do like to give credit to just delightful writing. But I feel like very few of these... Same for where you even needed to bring up that other... (laughter) You're right. You've got to bring that up. (laughter) Now, get it at... Not many of these seem to really... If I'm to show off right now, I'm going to assume that La Totale is English. No, that's what... No, that's French. French for the total. And I don't feel like many of these... I wonder what the total is referring to with the wedding. One, for example, which was also good. But it makes sense in the Wannaback gambling. (laughter) Well done. Yeah, exactly. So I might... Just give credit to that writer. I'm going to choose this creepy A one. Oh, you are, okay. Great. No, I'm not. (laughter) No, no, that's great. That's a great choice. Great writing, great choice. For me, I think it has to be one of the rom-coms. What are the... The first one is Brother and Sister. Yep. The second one is Company Bill in the Restaurant. Oh, the second one is Undead. Third one is Company Bill. I mean, would the French be wildly upset about... They wouldn't be upset, but they'd be intrigued. I'm taking Brother and Sister, I'm doing it. Okay. You didn't even... No one mentioned the mathematical one. You don't want to talk a street that while it's on the board? Also... I was going to do that until they talked about the riots. I know the French love to riot, but I don't think they're taken to the streets about calculators. Okay. Well, you might be surprised. I might. I hope I am. Are you aware that the wedding one was a romantic comedy? Are you mapping that? Are you printing it? I'm mapping that. I've seen a French film. That's a far. I did say a far. Oh, yeah, my apologies. I know it's true. I know it's a wedding. I know it's a wedding. It's a rom-com. I'm having a rom-com there, my sir. That's true. Once you're bean, isn't it? All right. So Gillian's going for that first one? Yes. All right. Can we have a small window where people can change their answers if they feel like maybe the restaurant one was worth picking? Well, not now. I mean, yes. Well, it feels like whatever you're trying to do there. All right. Here's the right, the answers. The one about the Calcule riots, the math wars of 987. That was Gillian. I knew the riot was a bridge too far. I knew I was onto something. Well, I didn't know that it meant total. So I was like, yeah, once myself said that, I'm like, no. That's something about that one just didn't add up. Yeah. Okay. And I don't know if you were trying to, but, man, you made it difficult with some of those words in there. No, I wanted to make it. Giro. Giro. How did you call Giro? I love Giro. Look how cute it is. You said you couldn't speak French. No, I speak fake French. Oh, okay. When I was at uni, I had to learn one speech in French for a play. So all I know in French is, does it just come on girl? It's this very long speech, but it's like someone being like, I speak English, to be or not to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was the play? Madea. Oh, that was a big one. She's dying. That's how you say Madea. Yeah. And you're in the Harry Potter play? Yeah. Not French, babe. Okay. Where's that one from? Near France, though, isn't it? Yeah. It's sort of near Chitterton. So quite near there. Who did you play in that? I played Moaning Myrtle, and then I played a character called Delphi. Wow. That's an iconic character. Yeah, she's camp. She's damp. She's living. What would Moaning Myrtle have chosen in this round? Oh, Moaning Myrtle would absolutely choose brother sister parking. That's canon. So, yeah, the lines are blurred between you and Myrtle. Yeah, it's really an immersive show. I chose a week. You're going to leave these roles behind. Yeah, I sleep in a sink still. The one about a couple couldn't pay their bill, which had the beautiful French word in there, including all sorts of, like, the little triangle above the eye, Matra D. Yeah, did I copy and paste? I assume so. That was Marcel. Wait, what? Yeah, I know. That is going to be shocking. I was quite happy with that one. My team of French heritage? Yeah. My mum just likes European names. I have Dutch heritage. I see. Because Marcel is French. He sure is like Marcel. Mm-hmm. Don't mind the others as well. He has my impression of Marcel, Marcel. That's good stuff. Thank you. Two young lovers looking for a romantic getaway, but the undead get involved. That was Connor, the question writer. Okay, the house. Connor also wrote the one about the back of rat players. Don Connor, you got me back. Back streets back around. Sorry. Uh, Gillian went for the French file set at the wedding with the brother and sister. That was Josh. Oh, it's a good stuff. A bit of fan fiction from Josh. Nice. Go to the Joshua website. You want to get the full script? And, uh, he's from Tasmania. And, uh, Josh is also correct. It's about the crack secret servant. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Oh, wow. And, um, as Connor writes, uh, I'll, I'll tabulate the scores soon on my abacus or the French, uh, invention. But, uh, yeah, Connor writes, uh, "Keeneed guests or listeners might have recognized some of the plot points from the real synopsis, uh, for this one." And that would probably be because James Cameron remade the film three years later as true lies. Oh, my goodness. And, uh, what's the movie I would watch the most because it was on every Friday night on Channel 10 American? Yeah. Also, you had, like, it's a very specific, um, generational piece of discomfort to have watched true lies with your dad. Yes. And, um, yeah. Yeah. That's going, I think it might be time for a cup of tea, actually. And, uh, I'm not sure. And, uh, what's an egg is in the dark, pressing, uh, yeah. You have to take a photo. I had the same experience. And he says stuff like, that's it. Do it slower. Do it. Slow up. Move. Yes. That's it. And, yeah, yeah. Your dad's looking very much like that in his chair. Oh, that's a, yeah, that's a good point. Um, yeah, apparently the French original is pretty dated and leans into parody a bit more than the later Cameron version does. Sounds like it's a bit of fun, but Connor says, I don't know. I haven't seen it. And they wouldn't be able to call it the title because it would be confusing for total recall. Yeah, that's right. Um, but yeah, I looked up reviews and people didn't, didn't seem to love the French ones. Seems like it's a very different view. I did a rewatch of true lies a couple of years ago and it's not, it's not okay. Oh, really? No, just, you know, just get in. Watch your Jamie Lee Curtis dance and get out. Don't watch the whole thing. What you're just going to do is that every James Cameron film is actually a French adaptation. Oh, Titanic was Titanic. Oh, yeah. Aliens was Ally on. Derminator. Derminator. Derminator. Boo. Alright, final score check. Um, wow. Wow, wow, wow. Oh my goodness. Wow. Wow. Wow. Things have changed. Here are the final scores. Uh, scoring the copper medal, fourth place on three points. It's Marcel. Just happy to be here. Happy to be here. Uh, you scored those three points in the first three rounds. Oh, wow. You really started strong. Uh, in third place with the bronze medal on four points. It's the house. Beaten by the house. Uh, winning the silver medal. It is, it was hers from start to near finish on six points. It's Gilliam, but in front of nine points. It's Joshua. Nine points. Goodness gracious. I told you it's a hustler. Yeah. Goodness gracious. And with a wet sale, big time. Alright, before we go, Josh, where can people find you? Uh, four burners. My podcast is out every single Wednesday. Um, and it's a, it's a podcast about this four burner theory where if you imagine your life as a stove top burner, each burner represents different facets. So health, career, family, friends, we have a chat. Sometimes it's really funny. Sometimes it's, it's kind of nice and, nice and, um, emotional. And the idea is you, like you might have to turn one off completely or turn them all down a bit. Theory says that if you have them all going, you burn out. So you kind of prioritise which burners you're going to keep on and which ones you're turning off. I think you've had a bunch of, I guess, on that, that uh... Gilliam was the very first guest. Oh, amazing. And I feel like I didn't do a good job. You did great. You did great. Some of my family pretty upset. No, I didn't. Oh, my bed is a bit dead. I was in there. You've turned the family on. I've turned the family on. I was in the show and I was like, family's all career up for. Josh, can you get me on the project? Um, yeah, I think most, uh, guests you've had, listen to the show will be familiar with. Yeah. Um, the one, I don't know when this comes out, but just a really great one with Nikki Britton. And I'm really happy and proud of that one. So yeah, listen to that one. So good. Uh, Gilliam, what about you? Is Moaning Myrtle still going? No, she's been, she's been doing it for two years. Uh, yes. Uh, I'm just at Gilliam Cosgrove on the internet. I'm just doing bits and pieces and, you know, learned about geography. Well, I should be working. And you'll be doing the festival rounds coming up in 2025, what's next year? Yes. Good grief. Yeah, I reckon. Back to Edinburgh as well. Oh, don't ask me about it. Yeah, I don't know. What's the name of the show coming up? Oh, dear. Is it, do we need to know this soon? Tottie Mungus. We need to know in two weeks. I reckon. Oh my God. Okay. Pick a title, any title? Okay. Uh, all right. Send them in. Send them in listeners. Master, what about you? Uh, I have a podcast called the Comedy Riders Group. As of this week, it is free to listen. The first 100 episodes are behind the paywall. Everything else is free. So you can subscribe if you want access to that. This week's episode, as this comes, when does this come out? Uh, he doesn't know. Well, coming up. No, I do know. It's coming out in about two and a half weeks. Okay, great. Well, the recent, recent guest was Dave Wannakey, mate of the Do-Go-On Universe on the podcast. How did you get him? I've got all, all three of the Do-Go-Ons on, on the pod now. Oh, man. Mine's not in. Yeah. You're behind the paywall. Thank God. I mean, I remember that, that was, I feel like I'd want that scrub from the internet. That is, I think if I had the power, that's the first thing I'd get rid of. It was, yeah. I'm problematic 20, so, and it's like, that's me trying to work through bits with myself. Oh, man. I thought, I want a great opportunity, and I just, yeah. Some of the most half anyway. Sometimes, when you see how the sausage gets made, you don't want to see how the sausage gets made. Yes, sometimes you become a vegetarian. Yeah, yeah. I've always been in a joke since. Jill and Josh have been on the pod as well. And a bit that we workshoped, I made it to my show, and it works very well. Oh, beautiful. I'm so glad, I'm so glad to hear it. And, yeah. So, check that out. Check me out. Master of the comedian. I do many things, including improvising with my wife. If you're in Sydney in November, you can come check us out at the ITS 10-year, 10-year anniversary comedy festival. So, good. I'm coming up at, in Brisbane, in Geelong, and Europe, and all those details are at mathshowcomer.com. What do you go on, pod.com. Anything else we need to tell people before we go? Have with that. Alright, thanks so much for listening, everybody. 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 with Matt Stewart. Now that you know what, I've been Matt Stewart. Goodbye. I didn't ask you how rude. Have you won Best Show? Not yet. But I live by the rules of that movie looper with Bruce Willis. Okay. Yeah. So put in. I've been going back in time and killing me every time I almost win the award. I believe it's the logic I'm going by. Yeah. No, but yeah, in the future. But at the pace I'm going there, it's going to be a brand new award by that time. It's going to be called something else. Well, it'll be called the Marcel Blanche Dwells Award. Oh, great. It's a legacy award. Also, where's the participation awards? You know, people talk about all the too many participation awards these days. Let's bring them in for comedy festival. Everyone gets a ribbon. There are some festivals that are nearly like that. The week that we award and there's like 17 of them. Yeah. But I've never got one. Yeah. I know. They're practically handing them out. Just like to me. Just like to me. I once got introduced to having won an award that didn't exist, which was the Campus Committee of the Year award. Wow. Because everyone else on the bill had won awards. And so the MC just made one up and introduced me. That was awesome. Congratulations. Thank you. Yeah, huge. Campus Committee of the Year. And that is on your bio. That one. Yeah. Talk to Billy. All right. Sorry. Just cutting and pasting here. Also, that you would win Campus Committee and Ruben K would sit written down and be furious. He hasn't been nominated. It's really delightful to me. How'd you get that? Also, that idea as well that the MC has to give you a credit before bringing you on. Otherwise, the audience just won't take you seriously. Oh, this one hasn't won an award. Why would we listen to them? As an MC, I've stopped saying too much about the person. Oh, I like a little line. I like something. Sometimes I've never seen the person before, so I don't want to lie to the audience. Say this person's really great. Yes. Because then they lose trust. So I just get them clapping and then say their name really quickly in case I mispronounce it. Yes. That's what people want. Yes. Yes. Before they've brought up. Yeah, great. Yeah, I love the fade out on the set. And this guy's here, Josh Hill. All right. Let's start. Let's go. And then you quickly say it off, Mike. Yeah, I love that. It's an excellent technique. It's perfect. I started doing that in real life as well. And I'm like, not super confident on someone's name, but I'll almost fade out their name as I'm saying. Hi. Good to see you. Do you have people miss saying your name? Yeah, Marshall. Marshall comes up a lot. Okay. You're so mad. Yeah, come. Yeah. Do it. I got a lot of do it. I thought it was do it for a long time. Yeah. You got an L on a T right next to it. People are going to get confused. If you've launched it, it already feels like a reach. It's like, that can't be real. And then you get to wilt and you're like, that bit's going to be wrong. Surely. You're panicking the whole way through. The name's here now. You're drunk enough. You're drunk enough. Oh no. Is that hot on a hat on a hat? Yeah. Yeah. Too much. Too many hats. You're ridiculous. You and your name is stupid. Okay. Oh, Josh, I think this is probably fair to say you are well proportioned. Oh, thank you. No, I've really grew into my head, I think. I think as a little as a little child, I had quite a big bonce and finally, finally grown into it. Yeah, because you were like in the last few years, you've become a beefcake. This is gorgeous. Really? I have been going to the gym for 10 years. I don't, maybe I've only known you for 10 years. I don't think I remember skinny, Josh. I can, I can show you some photos. Right. Great. Here's the one thing. If you start out there and you think, I might start going to the gym, take a, take a before photo. I didn't because I thought I'm never going to want to see that. And I really do want to see like, have you seen some gyms are doing before photos? Like they'll take that before photo and they'll put it up in the office. Yeah, that's not good. I don't want them to force it. But, you know, take a little bathroom selfie of yourself. Oh, yeah. That's like Dorian Gray. I've definitely taken before photos. Yeah. So maybe that was the smart thing for you to do. It's only a before photo if there's an after. I don't think I've talked about this before. But this is the kind of thing I'd bring up on your old podcast, Josh. But I once took some photos on an old like camera camera, I'm about, I'm going to get fit. Out of interest, I'm going to take some photos. And then I was away in the UK and I was on a bus, you know, backpacking and I'm just scrolling through my photos and my old housemates had taken mimicking photos of me in their jocks posing like the before photos. Basically just like quietly going. How did they see them? They obviously just went through my camera. And then I posted their photos on Facebook and got a very quick message to say, please say this. Oh camera, I thought you met one with film, I thought that the camera was going to say hey. I think he was very clear when he said camera camera and what he meant. Camera camera. Camera camera. It was a big camera. Absolutely. Wow, I'm not from black and white era. No, I did. I had film cameras as well. Is it canon on who you knew it that you're also ancient or is that just you go on? I think it's made you go on. Okay, great. Yeah. Because here I'm, you know, it's great to have someone who's like three years older than me and Josh. I'm doing it for my baby. I mean, not, you know, like our body mass index probably or however you age yourself at a gym. I'm older than you. Also, is it canon, the camera you're using? Yes. On this podcast. Geraldine Hickey loves birds. Yeah. And I got to go to Australia Zoo last year and I got to watch Geraldine Hickey watch The Bird Show. And it's truly the most wholesome thing I've ever seen in my whole life. I didn't look at a single bird, I just watched her. Hickey loves an activity with people. She once took me to swim with sharks and stingrays. And it was, it was an amazing experience. Yeah, very big on an activity. But the woman who was doing the thing, the swimming with us, she was taking the tour. It was a bit of a cooke and told us that she got into it because when Steve Irwin died, she believed that his soul entered her body. And that is when Susie Ruffle UK comedian got out of the water and went, "I'm not going to be in the water anymore." Oh my, entered that woman's body, not entered the body of another stingray. Enter the body of this woman and she had to continue his message. Wow. Huge. Yeah. Interesting. I liked it entering the body of the stingray. Yeah, you had a psychological sense to me. That made more sense that Steve Irwin's soul would go into it. Yeah, it would have been a direct response. Then into the body of a woman who I presume was nowhere nearby. Yeah, yeah. Had never met him. It could be Highlander rules. Like when you take out a Highlander, then you share the power with the remaining Highlanders. Yes. Have you seen the movie Highlander? Thank you so much for putting it in the job, I understand. Oh, look at Highlander. Yes, yes, yes. All right. Andy Matthews called me up and saying, "Yes, yes, yes" recently saying I was ripping off Alexi Tolleopos. Does he say yes? He freaking does. Yeah. And until that was the first time I'd caught myself saying and I'm like, "Oh." Maybe he was right. You doing a show next year? No show for me. First year off everything in 20 years. Wow. Goodness. This is going to be like when Ursula Carlson canceled her company first of all run. And we all get the audience. We all get the audience. You got a shout across this? No, someone from Comedy Festival was telling me like numbers, like the amount of money that they stood to make from Comedy Festival was like down in a big way just from Arizona. Oh, yeah. Well, she was for like two, three years the most ticket sold in the festival. Yeah, I didn't remember. I know she was excellent. I didn't realize that she was like, "Oh my God, we're going to lose gross GDP." I remember when she was in the bottom of the town hall, it's like a 40-seater and she was doing a split bill with a friend. And I remember that year. And then the next year, because I was hosting Speaks and Speks and she came on that and she was in like a 120-seater as well, which was super funny, but it was just saying, "Oh, this person's bigger." And then the year after she jumped into like, "Oh, she's the biggest act." Like it was crazy. I mean, not as big as Ronnie Chang's during the festival, starting in a 60-seater and then ending up in the town hall, the main hall, like, yeah. And selling it out. It's like, "Yep." I think he's funny. Yeah. Do you want me to just pick one myself, myself, to be brainstorming you? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. You've worked shopping right now. I guess whatever might be distinct upon from the rest. I'm not excited about any of them, really. That made me choose. It's real savings choice, it wasn't. I'm just going to go with the last one you're putting. Okay. Great. I like this little break, it reminds me of when Kramer has the talk show in his house. And he's like, "We're going to take a break and then just sit there." Remember, he takes a sip of his drink. I remember that as my favorite episode. Yeah, me too. And I re-watched it and went, "Ah, it's not as good as I remember. It's just the first time going. That's such a great concept for a TV show." And I think it's also just a beautiful moment to go, "What can we do to make, like, just make this character shine so brightly let's give Kramer a talk show in his house?" Beautiful. That moment when George walks in and he's going, "What's going on is incredible." That modern Seinfeld, like the Twitter that just says modern day, what Seinfeld episodes were. That was one the other day that made me laugh, which was Seinfeld, Kramer, or Seinfeld's car. Jerry gets an Uber, picked up by Kramer in his car, and Kramer still charges Jerry. It's good stuff. It's good stuff. So good. Your wife's from Perth, isn't she, Josh? Cheers. Yeah. Up a swan. It's a Perth classic. Up a swan. Up a swan. Get up a swan. Up a swan. In a loop. Both perfect. That's great. I'm going to be in the UK next month in November, and I'm just thinking about it now. Hopefully, I'm somewhere near shitted, and I will detour past it. You really must spend at least an hour in humble shitted. Apparently, I was reading that they've tried to change its name in the past, but it never took. Like there's a period where it was called, like, Shutterton or something, and there is another town on the river nearby, it's called the Piddle River. No. This is shit's Greek territory. Yeah, it really is. Yeah. They're trying to be ridiculous in a fictional way. The idea that Shittedton is just a strange little British version of Shitted's Greek is very funny. And they should do it. Yeah, did British... I feel like there's very rare that a British TV show would be like an American, like they would do, you know, there's an American office, but it really did the other way around. But I just saw that they're working on an English cheer, apparently. Oh, I love that. Did you know, I found out this week that Ted Danson wears a toupee and is wearing one for most of Cheers. Oh, really? And it's an episode where he takes it off. Oh, wow. Ted Danson, like, Primo Silver Fox, very upsetting to me, but does he still wear, because in the good place he has a full head of hair. Yeah. So is he... Is he got a grey wig? You'd sub it out. I guess he does. Yeah, he's transitioned. And like there's people that, like, isn't it like Frank Sinatra had, like, a wig officer or something like that where they would follow him around? A wig officer. I don't know what the formal title was, but like... Like an in full army dress. Yeah. Elton John, you think, everyone knows Elton wears a wig. Yeah. Have more fun with it. He always wears the same one. Like... Yeah. You want him to be more like that the producer. Feel expected. Yeah. He had fun with it. Do you remember when he was on trial for murder? Yeah. Every day he wore a different, ridiculous wig. That'd have been fun for the court artist who always gets to draw something a little bit different. Well, maybe that's what he was trying to do, just go, "See, this is... you can't believe that as if I'd win a bit of a four foot wig." But Horrible Man. Feel expected. Yeah. That the record showed that Josh does not agree with murder. He has an amazing Christmas album. It's brilliant. We love the one of Sam, but Horrible Horrible Man. Yeah. Apparently just like in general, I read a biography about Leonard Cohen and apparently the album... that's the one album he always hated. Yeah. And he'd go in there and he... What's the... I came for you. A specter would just have a gun on the desk and he'd sort of use that as a "you're doing it my way" kind of... Yeah. Apparently he shot like a warning shot above Ronnie Specter's head to sing better. Just for the record, Josh said it out loud that I also feel that I should say I also don't agree with Leonard Cohen. Very quiet from Julian. He's like, "I really know anything about the specter, but I do not know about Wigs." No. Jill just knows that. Hey, he's in the music industry and I'm in the music industry. I want to get high. 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. That's so funny. He's dead. Right. That I do not endorse the specter. I can't trust that at all. He's... Yeah, he died in jail. I think it's sort of like it's not... Yeah. No, not currently. Just myself. But let's see how this goes. Yeah. Actually, no, you're the one present. You're not. You're not going any... Marcel sounds like he's up for burning bridges today. Yeah. He's burnt the specter bridge. Anyhow, the bridges you're up for burning today. Yeah. I'm going to see how the cookies foam. Okay. Yeah. Is that an expression? That's not. That's not. It is now. Though they didn't seem to mind the Jesus is a cat shirt, another band mate was wearing. That cat. And that one too. Thanks, Connor. Um, for our American listeners, it's very offensive over there. Probably more so when you put Jesus is or at the start of it, I'd say. Cheers for tuning in to Who Knew With Matt Stewart. Now that you know what? I've been Matt Stewart. Good boy. I told you to keep the... That was Marcel. It was. I did it once. And I like... And the guests were like... Ugh. I did it myself. I did it myself. You
