00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:52,660
Let's say hello. G'day, Christine.
Hello.
20
00:00:52,660 --> 00:00:55,140
Now, Vegemite
is your expert subject.
21
00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:56,300
(LAUGHTER)
22
00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:58,220
But eating it isn't
your main interest.
23
00:00:58,220 --> 00:00:58,460
But eating it isn't
Oh, I love eating it too.
24
00:00:58,460 --> 00:00:59,780
Oh, I love eating it too.
25
00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:00,020
As well as what else?
Oh, I love eating it too.
26
00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:02,260
As well as what else?
Painting with it.
27
00:01:02,260 --> 00:01:04,460
I make artworks using it
as a paint material.
28
00:01:04,460 --> 00:01:04,700
I make artworks using it
OK.
29
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:06,260
OK.
30
00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:06,500
So, you're an artist and
OK.
31
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:09,180
So, you're an artist and
you use Vegemite to paint with?
32
00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:09,420
So, you're an artist and
Yes. That's right.
33
00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:10,980
Yes. That's right.
34
00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:13,020
There's one of your works there.
What are we looking at?
35
00:01:13,020 --> 00:01:14,740
So, we're looking
at an installation.
36
00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:19,300
There's a cupboard with a quotation
painting of a famous landscape
37
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:20,940
in Australian art history.
38
00:01:20,940 --> 00:01:25,100
And then in the same exhibition,
I've got a dinner plate and a table.
39
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:27,300
At any point while you were
painting that, did you think,
40
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:28,460
"What am I doing with my life?
41
00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:30,300
(LAUGHTER)
42
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:33,100
Artists ask themselves
that all their lives.
43
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:35,060
Oh, well, I am an artist and I don't.
44
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:36,580
(LAUGHS)
45
00:01:36,580 --> 00:01:38,140
Because I'm too busy succeeding.
46
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:40,020
(DERISIVE LAUGHTER)
47
00:01:40,020 --> 00:01:42,220
(LAUGHTER)
48
00:01:42,220 --> 00:01:42,460
Do you paint with Vegemite
(LAUGHTER)
49
00:01:42,460 --> 00:01:44,940
Do you paint with Vegemite
because you're an artist
50
00:01:44,940 --> 00:01:47,020
or are you just trying
to be interesting?
51
00:01:47,020 --> 00:01:50,460
Actually, I first came to choose it
as an art material
52
00:01:50,460 --> 00:01:52,460
because when I was spreading it
on toast, I saw that it had
53
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:52,700
because when I was spreading it
beautiful qualities, like pigment.
54
00:01:52,700 --> 00:01:54,180
beautiful qualities, like pigment.
55
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:57,100
When you spread it thin,
it's like a luminescent yellow,
56
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:59,620
and then when you have it thicker,
it's like a darker colour.
57
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:02,700
And it reminded me of, like,
burnt sienna, burnt umber.
58
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:02,940
And it reminded me of, like,
OK.
59
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:03,700
OK.
60
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:07,060
And then also...but also,
as an art material,
61
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:11,980
it brings memories of childhood,
the smell that it's associated with,
62
00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:13,740
cultural history
and national identity.
63
00:02:13,740 --> 00:02:13,980
cultural history
So, all of that all together.
64
00:02:13,980 --> 00:02:15,780
So, all of that all together.
65
00:02:15,780 --> 00:02:19,740
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE, CHEERING)
66
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:19,980
So, has anyone ever tried to forge
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE, CHEERING)
67
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:23,620
So, has anyone ever tried to forge
one of your artworks with Promite?
68
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:23,860
So, has anyone ever tried to forge
(LAUGHTER)
69
00:02:23,860 --> 00:02:25,420
(LAUGHTER)
70
00:02:25,420 --> 00:02:26,980
Mike.
G'day, Tom.
71
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:29,220
Now, you work on Hamish
and Andy's podcast.
72
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:30,340
I do.
73
00:02:30,340 --> 00:02:32,820
What do you do there?
I'm a producer.
74
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:35,980
So, I help come up with some of the
content and I help with, like,
75
00:02:35,980 --> 00:02:36,220
So, I help come up with some of the
edits and stuff like that.
76
00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:37,700
edits and stuff like that.
77
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:38,660
Now, why are you here?
78
00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:42,060
Couldn't they? give you a spot
on LEGO Masters or The Hundred?
79
00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:45,380
I've actually never watched
LEGO Masters. Sorry, Hamish.
80
00:02:45,380 --> 00:02:46,380
Oh.
Yeah.
81
00:02:46,380 --> 00:02:48,460
You've heard, Hamish.
You should fire Mike.
82
00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:48,700
You've heard, Hamish.
(LAUGHTER)
83
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:50,140
(LAUGHTER)
84
00:02:50,140 --> 00:02:50,380
Can you explain Super Smash Brothers,
(LAUGHTER)
85
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:53,180
Can you explain Super Smash Brothers,
your expert subject?
86
00:02:53,180 --> 00:02:58,740
Super Smash Brothers is a crossover
fighting game developed by Nintendo
87
00:02:58,740 --> 00:03:01,540
that features, like, Nintendo
all-star characters.
88
00:03:01,540 --> 00:03:01,780
that features, like, Nintendo
And you fight and...
89
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:03,780
And you fight and...
90
00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:05,620
Yeah, it's on...there's been...
91
00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:06,580
Well, I'm not going to say much more
92
00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:08,220
because I don't want to
give away secrets.
93
00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:10,300
OK.
Yeah.
94
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:12,260
Have you ever played Super Smash
Brothers with Hamish and Andy,
95
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:13,940
or are they too busy
buying real estate?
96
00:03:13,940 --> 00:03:14,180
or are they too busy
(LAUGHTER)
97
00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:17,100
(LAUGHTER)
98
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:17,340
Now, you told us
(LAUGHTER)
99
00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:19,140
Now, you told us
you're fun to be around.
100
00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:20,900
Did I?!
But you also described yourself...
101
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:21,140
Did I?!
When did I tell you that?
102
00:03:21,140 --> 00:03:22,060
When did I tell you that?
103
00:03:22,060 --> 00:03:23,900
On the form, you said
you're fun to be around.
104
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:24,140
On the form, you said
Oh, God, OK.
105
00:03:24,140 --> 00:03:24,900
Oh, God, OK.
106
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:25,140
But then in the same application
Oh, God, OK.
107
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:26,780
But then in the same application
form, you also said
108
00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:27,020
But then in the same application
you're anxious and neurotic.
109
00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:28,020
you're anxious and neurotic.
110
00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:30,420
(LAUGHTER)
111
00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:32,540
You sound (BLEEP) tedious
to be around.
112
00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:32,780
You sound (BLEEP) tedious
(LAUGHTER)
113
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:34,220
(LAUGHTER)
114
00:03:34,220 --> 00:03:34,460
Um, yeah, that's probably true,
(LAUGHTER)
115
00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:37,020
Um, yeah, that's probably true,
to be honest.
116
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:39,540
I don't know what to say. I don't
remember writing any of that.
117
00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:42,180
Oh. When did you fill it out?
Like, two years ago.
118
00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:42,420
Oh. When did you fill it out?
(LAUGHTER)
119
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:43,420
(LAUGHTER)
120
00:03:43,420 --> 00:03:45,460
The point being,
there's a very long waiting list
121
00:03:45,460 --> 00:03:46,820
to get on this very popular show
122
00:03:46,820 --> 00:03:49,300
that's slightly more popular
than LEGO Masters and The Hundred.
123
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:51,580
(LAUGHTER)
124
00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:51,820
Kate!
(LAUGHTER)
125
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:52,820
Kate!
Hi, Tom.
126
00:03:52,820 --> 00:03:53,060
Kate!
Now, you're a councillor.
127
00:03:53,060 --> 00:03:53,980
Now, you're a councillor.
128
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:55,300
Should I tell you about my problems
129
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:55,540
or are you the other
Should I tell you about my problems
130
00:03:55,540 --> 00:03:56,740
or are you the other
kind of councillor?
131
00:03:56,740 --> 00:03:56,980
or are you the other
I'm sure it's about potholes,
132
00:03:56,980 --> 00:03:58,820
I'm sure it's about potholes,
133
00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:00,580
because that's our number one
complaint, I'm sure.
134
00:04:00,580 --> 00:04:02,620
Oh. Phar Lap is your expert subject.
That's right.
135
00:04:02,620 --> 00:04:02,860
Oh. Phar Lap is your expert subject.
Why?
136
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:03,620
Why?
137
00:04:03,620 --> 00:04:03,860
Always been a horse nut,
Why?
138
00:04:03,860 --> 00:04:06,700
Always been a horse nut,
and he's still pulling the crowds
139
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:06,940
Always been a horse nut,
90 years after he died.
140
00:04:06,940 --> 00:04:08,060
90 years after he died.
141
00:04:08,060 --> 00:04:09,980
Oh, really?
Yeah.
142
00:04:09,980 --> 00:04:11,260
What are you talking about?
143
00:04:11,260 --> 00:04:12,700
(LAUGHTER)
144
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:15,180
He still pulled the crowds
nine years after he died?
145
00:04:15,180 --> 00:04:17,420
90 years.
Oh, 90? Oh, OK.
146
00:04:17,420 --> 00:04:19,060
Where are the crowds
being pulled to?
147
00:04:19,060 --> 00:04:19,300
Where are the crowds
To the museum.
148
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:20,220
To the museum.
149
00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:23,300
Oh, OK. Alright. (LAUGHS)
150
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:26,220
Sorry, I just didn't...
Maybe I'm not a horse nut.
151
00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:27,420
I don't understand
what you're saying.
152
00:04:27,420 --> 00:04:27,660
I don't understand
Sorry.
153
00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:28,420
Sorry.
154
00:04:28,420 --> 00:04:30,420
Now, you did a painting
of Phar Lap.
155
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:31,820
I did.
There it is there.
156
00:04:31,820 --> 00:04:33,660
You didn't think of doing it
with Vegemite?
157
00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:35,780
(LAUGHTER)
Definitely not.
158
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:37,700
No, that would be madness.
159
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:38,980
(LAUGHTER)
160
00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:40,420
Couldn't get the colours right.
161
00:04:40,420 --> 00:04:41,780
James!
162
00:04:41,780 --> 00:04:43,500
LeBron James is your expert subject.
163
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:43,740
Is that because your name is James?
LeBron James is your expert subject.
164
00:04:43,740 --> 00:04:46,580
Is that because your name is James?
Pretty much.
165
00:04:46,580 --> 00:04:46,820
Is that because your name is James?
Oh, really? I was just joking.
166
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:49,540
Oh, really? I was just joking.
167
00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:51,580
(LAUGHTER)
168
00:04:51,580 --> 00:04:52,660
Why did you become a fan?
169
00:04:52,660 --> 00:04:57,820
I started playing NBA2K video game
when I was about 12, 13 years old.
170
00:04:57,820 --> 00:05:01,140
Saw a guy called James
and thought, "He's pretty good."
171
00:05:01,140 --> 00:05:02,660
Then ever since then,
just followed his career
172
00:05:02,660 --> 00:05:02,900
Then ever since then,
and know a lot about him.

OK. So, you're a gamer?
Yes.

something about you that not
many other people know about,
183
00:05:21,260 --> 00:05:24,260

I feel like it's a good gauge
188
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:36,020

Now, you also share your farts
OK, sensible.

Yes.

Can you talk us through
how that works?
197
00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:53,260
It's kind of like a competition,
in a way.

It's kind of like a competition,
Right.

Just, you know...
I asked for it.

Yeah.

No, it was a...
I'm just saying...
290
00:08:56,580 --> 00:09:02,340
You know, it could break its leg,
so you just pre-emptive shot.
291
00:09:02,340 --> 00:09:04,620
Why were the shots fired?
Bookmakers.
292
00:09:04,620 --> 00:09:08,260
They stood to lose a lot if he
won the cup, on betting.
293
00:09:08,260 --> 00:09:10,380
So, they were
trying to get rid of him.

00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:13,420
Yeah, he won the Melbourne Stakes
on that day of the shooting,

for the other horses.

him the rest of his life,

And strychnine and
caffeine and cocaine.

00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:01,380
(LAUGHTER)
345
00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:06,700
Super Smash Brothers was first
released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64
346
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:10,980
with the art on the cartridge
depicting Mario and which Pokemon?
347
00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:12,420
Mike.
Pikachu.
348
00:11:12,420 --> 00:11:12,660
Mike.
Correct!
349
00:11:12,660 --> 00:11:13,540
Correct!
350
00:11:17,380 --> 00:11:18,420
How old were you, Mike,
351
00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:20,820
when you first got your grubby hands
on one of these?
352
00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:22,060
I actually didn't have it as a kid.
353
00:11:22,060 --> 00:11:25,140
My friend got it for me
for my 16th birthday,
354
00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:27,100
which was, like,
10 years after it came out.
355
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:28,340
Oh, right.
Yeah.
356
00:11:28,340 --> 00:11:30,660
Just played it a lot
at friends' houses.
357
00:11:30,660 --> 00:11:32,060
Oh, did you grow up poor?
358
00:11:32,060 --> 00:11:34,620
(LAUGHTER)
359
00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:37,500
Mario's friend Yoshi,
a small green dinosaur,
360
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:40,020
can swallow his opponents
and turn them into what object?
361
00:11:40,020 --> 00:11:41,420
Mike.
Egg.
362
00:11:41,420 --> 00:11:41,660
Mike.
Correct!
363
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:42,500
Correct!
364
00:11:44,340 --> 00:11:47,820
In Super Smash Brothers Brawl,
third-party characters entered
365
00:11:47,820 --> 00:11:50,420
the franchise,
including Sonic the Hedgehog,
366
00:11:50,420 --> 00:11:50,660
the franchise,
owned by which former Nintendo rival?
367
00:11:50,660 --> 00:11:52,620
owned by which former Nintendo rival?
368
00:11:52,620 --> 00:11:54,700
Mike.
Sega.
369
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:55,660
Correct!
370
00:11:55,660 --> 00:11:58,460
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
371
00:11:58,460 --> 00:12:01,460
Was it a big deal putting one of
their competitors in the game?
372
00:12:01,460 --> 00:12:05,220
That was one of the biggest days
of my life when I was a kid.
373
00:12:05,220 --> 00:12:11,300
When I saw that Sonic was coming
to Smash Bros, like, wow.
374
00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:11,540
When I saw that Sonic was coming
Nothing really has topped that.
375
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:13,780
Nothing really has topped that.
376
00:12:13,780 --> 00:12:16,020
It's like LeBron James
with the winning the cup -
377
00:12:16,020 --> 00:12:16,260
It's like LeBron James
that's my winning the cup.
378
00:12:16,260 --> 00:12:18,580
that's my winning the cup.
379
00:12:18,580 --> 00:12:20,620
Sounds like you lived
a very sheltered life.
380
00:12:20,620 --> 00:12:20,860
Sounds like you lived
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
381
00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:21,940
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
382
00:12:21,940 --> 00:12:24,900
That was as good as it got.
Yeah.
383
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:28,180
Known as the King of Smash for his
dominance in the eSports scene,

388
00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:37,580
Mike?
Jeopardy.
389
00:12:37,580 --> 00:12:37,820
Mike?
Incorrect. It's wide open.
390
00:12:37,820 --> 00:12:39,860
Incorrect. It's wide open.
391
00:12:41,380 --> 00:12:44,100
Oh, for the steal, it's James!
Survivor.
392
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:44,340
Oh, for the steal, it's James!
Correct!
393
00:12:44,340 --> 00:12:45,260
Correct!
394
00:12:45,260 --> 00:12:48,820
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
395
00:12:48,820 --> 00:12:50,220
Was that a guess or
did it just come to you?
396
00:12:50,220 --> 00:12:53,260
Wild guess.
Wild guess.
397
00:12:53,260 --> 00:12:55,060
Last question in your set, Mike.
398
00:12:55,060 --> 00:12:58,020
Super Smash Brothers Melee,
released in 2001,
399
00:12:58,020 --> 00:13:00,820
is the highest-selling game
for which console?
400
00:13:00,820 --> 00:13:03,060
Mike.
Nintendo GameCube.
401
00:13:03,060 --> 00:13:04,300
Correct!
402
00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:11,780
Alright, last set in the Expert
Round, it's Christine and Vegemite.
403
00:13:14,820 --> 00:13:17,460
Launched by Fred Walker
and Company in 1923,
404
00:13:17,460 --> 00:13:20,140
Vegemite was developed
as a local substitute
405
00:13:20,140 --> 00:13:20,380
Vegemite was developed
for which British spread?
406
00:13:20,380 --> 00:13:21,380
for which British spread?
407
00:13:21,380 --> 00:13:21,620
Christine.
for which British spread?
408
00:13:21,620 --> 00:13:22,900
Christine.
Marmite.
409
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:23,140
Christine.
Correct!
410
00:13:23,140 --> 00:13:24,180
Correct!
411
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:30,100
The main ingredient in Vegemite
is brewer's yeast extract,
412
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,620
originally sourced from
which iconic Melbourne...
413
00:13:32,620 --> 00:13:35,380
Christine.
Carlton and United Brewery.
414
00:13:35,380 --> 00:13:36,780
Correct!
415
00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:39,220
Which iconic Melbourne brewery?
416
00:13:39,220 --> 00:13:41,700
Carlton & United Breweries
is correct.
417
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:45,100
After a public competition
in September 2009,
418
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:48,380
a new product combining Vegemite
and Philadelphia Cream Cheese
419
00:13:48,380 --> 00:13:50,140
was given what name?
420
00:13:50,140 --> 00:13:51,140
Christine.
421
00:13:51,140 --> 00:13:52,660
It was deeply unpopular,
422
00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:57,780
but they selected
the name iSnack 2.0.
423
00:13:57,780 --> 00:13:58,020
but they selected
Correct!
424
00:13:58,020 --> 00:13:59,060
Correct!
425
00:13:59,060 --> 00:14:03,860
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
426
00:14:03,860 --> 00:14:05,580
Yeah, there was a huge
publicity hoopla
427
00:14:05,580 --> 00:14:07,660
building up to the winning name -
iSnack 2.0 -
428
00:14:07,660 --> 00:14:10,460
but people hated it so much
they had another public vote
429
00:14:10,460 --> 00:14:10,700
but people hated it so much
to rename it.
430
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:11,940
to rename it.
431
00:14:11,940 --> 00:14:12,180
Speaking to the New Zealand Herald
to rename it.
432
00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:15,700
Speaking to the New Zealand Herald
in 2012, which TV star said,
433
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:19,540
"Me not sold on the Vegemite.
Maybe one day me try it."
434
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:26,060
It's wide open.
435
00:14:26,060 --> 00:14:28,860
For the steal, it's Mike.
Elmo.
436
00:14:28,860 --> 00:14:31,820
Incorrect.
(LAUGHTER)
437
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:32,780
Wide open.
438
00:14:34,180 --> 00:14:35,340
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
439
00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:37,220
Time's up. It's the Cookie Monster.
440
00:14:37,220 --> 00:14:37,420
Time's up. It's the Cookie Monster.
(GROANING)
441
00:14:37,420 --> 00:14:39,380
(GROANING)
442
00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:39,620
It was close.
(GROANING)
443
00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:41,940
It was close.
You weren't far off, Mike.
444
00:14:41,940 --> 00:14:44,540
Alright, last question
in your set, Christine.
445
00:14:44,540 --> 00:14:46,900
In the Men At Work hit
Down Under,
446
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:49,900
the singer is given a Vegemite
sandwich by a large, smiling man
447
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:50,140
the singer is given a Vegemite
in what city?
448
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:51,540
in what city?
449
00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:54,060
Christine.
Brussels.
450
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:54,820
Correct!
451
00:14:54,820 --> 00:14:57,580
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
452
00:14:57,580 --> 00:14:59,180
Alright, we've pushed through
their subjects,
453
00:14:59,180 --> 00:14:59,420
Alright, we've pushed through
now let's push through mine.
454
00:14:59,420 --> 00:15:00,780
now let's push through mine.
455
00:15:05,340 --> 00:15:08,860
This week I've been really
getting into hair. I love hair.
456
00:15:08,860 --> 00:15:12,940
I used to have too much,
now I have just the right amount.
457
00:15:12,940 --> 00:15:13,180
I used to have too much,
now I have just the right amount.
This round is multiple choice.
458
00:15:13,180 --> 00:15:14,420
This round is multiple choice.
459
00:15:14,420 --> 00:15:15,460
Select your answers on your screens,
460
00:15:15,460 --> 00:15:17,940
then press the buzzer
to lock in the answer.
461
00:15:17,940 --> 00:15:19,340
Take a look at this.
462
00:15:19,340 --> 00:15:19,580
Before the war,
Take a look at this.
463
00:15:19,580 --> 00:15:22,860
Before the war,
Veronica Lake's one-eyed hairdo
464
00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:25,540
swept the feminine face
of the country.
465
00:15:25,540 --> 00:15:28,980
But this Lake's eye view
is entirely out of place
466
00:15:28,980 --> 00:15:29,220
But this Lake's eye view
in a war production plant.
467
00:15:29,220 --> 00:15:30,620
in a war production plant.
468
00:15:30,620 --> 00:15:33,420
The operator is exposed to
the constant threat
469
00:15:33,420 --> 00:15:35,140
of hair caught in the machine.
470
00:15:35,140 --> 00:15:38,420
During World War II,
film star Veronica Lake promoted
471
00:15:38,420 --> 00:15:41,740
which hairstyle intended
to increase the safety
472
00:15:41,740 --> 00:15:43,100
of factory workers?
473
00:15:51,740 --> 00:15:54,500
The answer is C, victory roll.
474
00:15:58,260 --> 00:15:59,500
There's the hairdo there.
475
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:01,580
It meant you could work safely
for many, many hours
476
00:16:01,580 --> 00:16:01,820
It meant you could work safely
and be paid less than men.
477
00:16:01,820 --> 00:16:03,820
and be paid less than men.
478
00:16:03,820 --> 00:16:06,180
(DERISIVE LAUGHTER)
479
00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:07,420
Aw.
480
00:16:08,740 --> 00:16:11,580
"Stop it, Tom.
Stop pointing out true things."
481
00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:16,780
Businessman King Camp Gillette
invented the disposable safety
482
00:16:16,780 --> 00:16:20,420
razor, advertised as eliminating
the need for what accessory?
483
00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:32,740
The answer is A, strop.
484
00:16:36,380 --> 00:16:38,940
Yeah, a strop's the leather
that you use to sharpen a blade,
485
00:16:38,940 --> 00:16:42,260
and they didn't need them
because they were disposable.
486
00:16:42,260 --> 00:16:44,660
A mocking term for elderly
conservative women
487
00:16:44,660 --> 00:16:47,860
is which of these
hair-inspired nicknames?
488
00:16:57,980 --> 00:17:00,980
The answer is B, blue rinse brigade.
489
00:17:07,220 --> 00:17:10,420
Which character in the Addams
family is covered in long hair?
490
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:21,860
The answer is B, Cousin Itt.
491
00:17:27,020 --> 00:17:29,820
The original costume was made with
real human hair,
492
00:17:29,820 --> 00:17:33,860
but it was very combustible
and everyone smoked,
493
00:17:33,860 --> 00:17:36,660
so they had to change the costume
so people could keep smoking.
494
00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:36,900
so they had to change the costume
(LAUGHTER)
495
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:38,340
(LAUGHTER)
496
00:17:38,340 --> 00:17:38,580
Last question in my round's
worth double points.
(LAUGHTER)
497
00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:41,820
Last question in my round's
worth double points.
498
00:17:41,820 --> 00:17:42,100
Last question in my round's
worth double points.
Clothed only by her hair,
Lady Godiva is said to have
499
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:45,300
Clothed only by her hair,
Lady Godiva is said to have
500
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:48,340
ridden naked through Coventry
to protest what?
501
00:18:01,260 --> 00:18:04,860
The answer is E, high taxes.
502
00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:13,380
All the locals stayed indoors
to preserve Lady Godiva's dignity.
503
00:18:13,380 --> 00:18:16,300
Except for Tom,
who took a peek and went blind.
504
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:19,900
And that's where the expression
"Peeping Tom" comes from.
505
00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:21,900
Alright, at the end of my round,
Mike, you're at the bottom on five.
506
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:22,140
Alright, at the end of my round,
Get over here.
507
00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:23,060
Get over here.
508
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:36,380
Mike, what happened?
I got smashed, bro.
509
00:18:36,380 --> 00:18:36,620
Mike, what happened?
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
510
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:39,740
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
511
00:18:39,740 --> 00:18:39,980
I'm going to make some calls,
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
512
00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:41,740
I'm going to make some calls,
and Hamish and Andy
513
00:18:41,740 --> 00:18:41,980
I'm going to make some calls,
are going to tell you you're fired.
514
00:18:41,980 --> 00:18:44,220
are going to tell you you're fired.
515
00:18:44,220 --> 00:18:45,100
That seems fair.
516
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:46,340
Because they're really worried that
517
00:18:46,340 --> 00:18:48,460
you're going to affect
their popularity.
518
00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:50,460
Yeah.
And their property portfolio.

Not really, but I think I have to.

What will you do with the mug
if you win, James?

What will you do with the mug
Well, there's no prize money,
594

Well, there's no prize money,
595
00:21:00,860 --> 00:21:05,380
and brass goes for a fair bit of
money, so I might scrap it.
596
00:21:05,380 --> 00:21:05,620
and brass goes for a fair bit of

Well, my husband's
What about you, Kate?
600
00:21:09,380 --> 00:21:11,260
Well, my husband's
a bit of a LEGO nut,
601
00:21:11,260 --> 00:21:13,780
so I'm always finding pieces
all over the floor,
602
00:21:13,780 --> 00:21:16,420
so I think it's a good collection.
603
00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:18,140
(LAUGHTER)
604
00:21:18,140 --> 00:21:20,060
So, it's a horse nut
married to a LEGO nut.
605
00:21:20,060 --> 00:21:20,300
So, it's a horse nut
That's right.
606
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:21,500
That's right.
607
00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:21,740
Alright, it's best of five,
That's right.
608
00:21:21,740 --> 00:21:23,340
Alright, it's best of five,
penalty shoot-out-style.

Harder questions
on your expert subjects.
610
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:27,620
So, it's James's knowledge
of LeBron James
611
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:29,420
versus Kate's knowledge
of Phar Lap.
612

versus Kate's knowledge
Let's play HARD!

I'm sure they will be.

James, at the age of just 17,
623
00:21:54,060 --> 00:21:57,100
LeBron appeared on the cover
of Sports Illustrated
624
00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:01,020
with what three words
as the cover line?
625
00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:05,820
So, he also has it as a tattoo
across his back,
626
00:22:05,820 --> 00:22:07,140
and it's "the chosen one."
627
00:22:09,380 --> 00:22:11,100
Correct.
628
00:22:15,420 --> 00:22:18,740
Kate, look at this.
629
00:22:18,740 --> 00:22:22,820
This is Phar Lap crossing the finish
line at Flemington racecourse
630
00:22:22,820 --> 00:22:26,580
posthumously to mark
what milestone?
631
00:22:26,580 --> 00:22:30,220
The 50th anniversary
of his cup win.
632
00:22:30,220 --> 00:22:30,460
The 50th anniversary
Correct.
633
00:22:30,460 --> 00:22:31,740
Correct.
634
00:22:36,260 --> 00:22:38,500
Was that a bit creepy?
635
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:38,740
It was the only time
Was that a bit creepy?
636
00:22:38,740 --> 00:22:40,980
It was the only time
he left the museum.
637
00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:41,900
Yeah.
638
00:22:41,900 --> 00:22:43,780
Well, you said earlier on
in the show
639
00:22:43,780 --> 00:22:46,660
that he still draws big crowds,
but it looks pretty empty to me.
640
00:22:46,660 --> 00:22:46,900
that he still draws big crowds,

James, in game one of the 2023
play-offs against Golden State,
643
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:57,420
one of LeBron's courtside
pregame rituals was delayed
644
00:22:57,420 --> 00:23:00,620
because he was missing
what element later provided
645
00:23:00,620 --> 00:23:00,860
because he was missing
by teammate D'Angelo Russell?
646
00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:03,260
by teammate D'Angelo Russell?
647
00:23:04,780 --> 00:23:09,900
So, the only ritual I know of
648
00:23:09,900 --> 00:23:11,700
is his chalk toss.
649
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:14,780
So, I'm going to say
the chalk was missing.
650
00:23:16,220 --> 00:23:17,460
Correct.
651
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:22,740
What's the deal with chalk toss?
What's that about?
652
00:23:22,740 --> 00:23:27,740
I think it's a bit of a...
just a bit of gravitas.
653
00:23:27,740 --> 00:23:31,100
Bit of atmosphere
to the game, you know?
654
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:33,940
Hypes himself up.
Hypes himself up. Looks cool.
655
00:23:33,940 --> 00:23:37,740
Kate, known for rarely
drawing his whip,
656
00:23:37,740 --> 00:23:43,420
jockey Jim Pike reported he used
it on Phar Lap for the first time
657
00:23:43,420 --> 00:23:47,380
during the 1931 Futurity Stakes
for what reason?
658
00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:50,660
Well, he was left at the start...
659
00:23:53,780 --> 00:23:56,220
..and he just got up
in the last stride...
660
00:23:57,540 --> 00:23:58,580
..so...
661
00:24:02,660 --> 00:24:04,900
You use the whip to make them go.
662
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:09,180
Yeah, to catch...because
you got left at the start,
663
00:24:09,180 --> 00:24:10,540
to catch the field.
664
00:24:14,060 --> 00:24:15,260
Correct.
665
00:24:15,260 --> 00:24:17,860
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
666
00:24:17,860 --> 00:24:19,500
Yeah, you're right,
he missed the start,
667
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:22,060
and so Jim Pike whipped him
to get him going.
668
00:24:22,060 --> 00:24:24,460
And Phar Lap won, which proves
that whipping horses is good.
669
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:24,700
And Phar Lap won, which proves

I'm taking away from it.

James, on February 12, 2014,

LeBron hit a game-winning
three-pointer,
676
00:24:36,980 --> 00:24:42,540
followed by a distinct celebration
that evolved into The Silencer.
677
00:24:42,540 --> 00:24:47,500
Re-create the original celebration
from that game.
678
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:49,140
OK.
679
00:24:49,140 --> 00:24:50,660
So, hits the shot...
680
00:24:52,660 --> 00:24:55,020
..yelling at the crowd,
and he goes...

00:24:58,060 --> 00:25:00,260

Oh! Really?
685
00:25:11,860 --> 00:25:15,260
The correct answer is
he starts with two slaps,
686
00:25:15,260 --> 00:25:18,940
then he does and then...yeah!
687
00:25:18,940 --> 00:25:21,460
OK.
Sorry.

a LeBron fan as me.

00:25:23,340 --> 00:25:26,300
(LAUGHTER)
690
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:30,100
Kate, sailing with Phar Lap
from New Zealand to America
691
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:34,220
for the Agua Caliente,
strapper Tommy Woodcock was forced
692
00:25:34,220 --> 00:25:40,180
to eat in the bosun's cabin instead
of the dining room for what reason?
693
00:25:40,180 --> 00:25:40,420
to eat in the bosun's cabin instead
So Phar Lap could see him.
694
00:25:40,420 --> 00:25:42,940
So Phar Lap could see him.
695
00:25:42,940 --> 00:25:44,260
Correct.
696
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:50,140
Yeah, Phar Lap wouldn't
let him out of his sight.
697
00:25:50,140 --> 00:25:51,060
Yeah.
698
00:25:51,060 --> 00:25:53,540
And, so, would you say Phar Lap
has the heart of a champion
699
00:25:53,540 --> 00:25:54,940
or is he a massive wuss?
700
00:25:54,940 --> 00:25:55,180
(LAUGHS) He was a bit obsessive,
or is he a massive wuss?
701
00:25:55,180 --> 00:25:58,220
(LAUGHS) He was a bit obsessive,
yeah. Bit of a stalker.
702
00:25:58,220 --> 00:26:00,740
Yeah. Might have been
all the gear he was on.
703
00:26:00,740 --> 00:26:02,020
(LAUGHTER)
704
00:26:02,020 --> 00:26:04,060
On cocaine, paranoid,
"Oh, don't leave me."
705
00:26:04,060 --> 00:26:04,300
On cocaine, paranoid,
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
706
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:05,580
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
707
00:26:05,580 --> 00:26:08,020
(SNORTS)
708
00:26:08,020 --> 00:26:09,780
"Don't leave me.
709
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:13,740
"Tommy! Where's Tommy?"
710
00:26:15,220 --> 00:26:20,220
James, in game seven
of the 2016 NBA finals between
711
00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:23,300
the Cleveland Cavaliers
and the Golden State Warriors,
712
00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:26,220
LeBron made an iconic
defensive play
713
00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:26,460
LeBron made an iconic
by blocking a shot by which player?
714
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:28,780
by blocking a shot by which player?
715
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:32,740
It's a pretty famous play.
716
00:26:32,740 --> 00:26:32,980
I was screaming at the TV
It's a pretty famous play.
717
00:26:32,980 --> 00:26:35,220
I was screaming at the TV
when this happened.
718
00:26:35,220 --> 00:26:35,460
I was screaming at the TV
He blocked Andre Iguodala.
719
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:38,740
He blocked Andre Iguodala.
720
00:26:40,460 --> 00:26:41,700
Correct.
721
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:49,500
Kate, primarily due to
his exceptional record,
722
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:52,100
in the 1931 Melbourne Cup,
Phar Lap was required
723
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:55,500
to carry what is still
the highest handicap weight
724
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:55,740
to carry what is still
in the race's history.
725
00:26:55,740 --> 00:26:57,540
in the race's history.
726
00:26:57,540 --> 00:26:59,780
What was the weight?
727
00:26:59,780 --> 00:27:01,420
10 stone, 10 pound.
728
00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:03,700
Correct.
729
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:06,580
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
730
00:27:06,580 --> 00:27:06,820
Yeah, so, that's the equivalent
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
731
00:27:06,820 --> 00:27:09,060
Yeah, so, that's the equivalent
of 68 kilos.
732
00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:11,580
More than a whole other
jockey he was carrying.
733
00:27:11,580 --> 00:27:15,060
It was his last race in Australia,
and he ended up coming eighth.
734
00:27:15,060 --> 00:27:17,980
It's a bit like how I carry Charlie
Pickering on Wednesday nights.
735
00:27:17,980 --> 00:27:18,220
It's a bit like how I carry Charlie
(LAUGHTER)
736
00:27:18,220 --> 00:27:19,980
(LAUGHTER)
737
00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:21,460
Poor Charlie.
738
00:27:25,060 --> 00:27:26,860
You're weighing me down.
739
00:27:29,700 --> 00:27:31,220
James, you need this to stay in.
740
00:27:31,220 --> 00:27:33,220
If you get this wrong, then, Kate,
you are tonight's
741
00:27:33,220 --> 00:27:34,540
High Quiz champion.
742
00:27:34,540 --> 00:27:38,100
James, at a press conference
after losing to Phoenix
743
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:38,340
James, at a press conference
in the 2021 NBA play-offs,
744
00:27:38,340 --> 00:27:41,220
in the 2021 NBA play-offs,
745
00:27:41,220 --> 00:27:41,460
LeBron was asked if he'd be playing
in the 2021 NBA play-offs,
746
00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:45,140
LeBron was asked if he'd be playing
at the Tokyo Olympics.
747
00:27:45,140 --> 00:27:49,740
He replied that he'd be focused
on playing for what team?
748
00:27:54,460 --> 00:27:58,940
After losing to the Suns,
he was playing for the Lakers.
749
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:06,820
He's still on the Lakers, so...
750
00:28:11,140 --> 00:28:14,860
..I'm just gonna say the Lakers.
751
00:28:16,780 --> 00:28:17,820
Incorrect.
752
00:28:19,100 --> 00:28:21,660
The correct answer is the Tune Squad.
753
00:28:21,660 --> 00:28:23,860
(GROANS)
754
00:28:23,860 --> 00:28:26,900
Yeah, it was a blatant plug
for Space Jam: A New Legacy,
755
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:28,300
which he co-produced
and starred in.
756
00:28:28,300 --> 00:28:31,420
Which means, Kate, you are tonight's
Hard Quiz champion!
757
00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:32,820
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
758
00:28:32,820 --> 00:28:33,060
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
Alright, James, you know
what this means. Out!
759
00:28:33,060 --> 00:28:35,580
Alright, James, you know
what this means. Out!
760
00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:35,820
Alright, James, you know
There he goes.
761
00:28:35,820 --> 00:28:37,260
There he goes.
762
00:28:43,700 --> 00:28:46,460
Congratulations Kate, you are
tonight's Hard Quiz champion,
763
00:28:46,460 --> 00:28:49,540
which means you've earned
the big brass mug
764
00:28:49,540 --> 00:28:50,580
and you get to do the sign-off.
765
00:28:50,580 --> 00:28:50,780
Thanks for playing HARD!
and you get to do the sign-off.
766
00:28:50,780 --> 00:28:53,020
Thanks for playing HARD!
767
00:28:54,620 --> 00:28:56,220
Well done.
768
00:28:56,220 --> 00:28:57,900
I can't believe it!
