Gambling problem callall one eight hundred gambler starts sorry, I have quite a bad cold, which has affected my voice for quite a few podcasts, sorry if you can't understand everything I say. Okay. on with the show. here's what you do, The Qisho podcast that's like shooting stars. But we released the dove from above and it was instantly eaten by a hawk In each show we have three brand new quizzes for you to play along with. I'm James Smales. I've developed quQiz shows for TV and I'm joined by Johnny Robbins, who's developed games for TV. Hello And as ever we're joined by our friend John John Cantrell. Hello everybody. Each episode, we set each other a new quiz inspired by things that happened to us this week. At the end of the show, we'll each vote for our favorite and someone will win the episode O it'll be a draw. And first up with their quiz this week it's Johnny. There is no denying it. AI is everywhere. I can't read a social media post without M dashes popping out at me or eerie looking people with six fingers trying to sell me a burger. Although one thing it can't seem to do is write a quiz, but there'll be more on that in here's what you missed next week. So for now, fear not folks, this is an AI free zone. Well, kind of. This is AI slop and here's what you do. What'? I'm going ask you questions and all the answers contain AI. That is the letters AI next to each other in the answer. Oh nice. I need you to give me the answer along with another word or synonym for slots on the end. Now when it comes to the word for slop, I mean it in terms of what it's referred to as AI slop. Yeah, I thought you were going to give us another word, then I was going to jot it down. I was like, well, what do you mean in terms of like, how Johnny? Oh, yeah. You could tell me some words that we might use Johny. No, no, no I've chosen six of my favourite words that could replace slop and there's bonus points if you find one of those. Good luck with that. So there's one correct point for each answer and also bonus points if you can find any of those words. And like all good quizzes, most points wins. Are you ready for some AI slop Betcha. AI AI Captain. Okay, on with the quiz Question one By what name does rapper Harrison Armstrong go by? Yes, yes, yes. I'm like where this is going already. I think I asked this question already on a previous episode. Ooh, did you? Yep. That's the only reason I know the answer. I mean, there's only so many questions out there. to happen one of these days. So John, what do you think the answer is? I've gone for H junk and James. I have also gone for H junk. Sut up. That's amazing. That's insane. Look, I'll show you. That is insane. Can you see it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And would you believe it? Junk is on my list. Y! Get in there. And H is the correct answer. So you've both absolutely nailed it. What a start to the AI slop with' two points a piece. Question two, let's see if we can do it again. Which musical opens with the song Good morning Baltimore. Got it. Oh, have you? Musicals are not my strong point at all. Whereas James, he loves a bit of Razamatas. Jazz hands Jimbo they call me. Yeah. He is strictly Razamatas. James, coming to you. What have you got? I wanted to alliterate, but I couldn't think of a slop that began with the same letter, so I've just gone for hairspray garbage Jhn Well, I have not got this. musicals are not my cup of tea at all, but I did find something that had an A on in it. so I've gone for Miss Sigon Dregs. Nice. The answer is hairspray. that opens with the song Good Morning Baltimore, but I'm afraid you have not found one of my slop words, but still one James and nothing to John there. A Question three, Monama is the capital of which country? M A N A M A. Oh, I don't knowe this one, neeither do I. It's written as Manama if you might have heard it as that, but I'm going with a pronunciation and I do get pronunciations wrong almost every episode. It tells me Mama. So Manama is the capital of which country. Now once again, I thought James you'd be all over this. Yeah, James'sobbody pretty good at geography. mister Geography Well, that's only a comparative title compared to you two. It's not worldwide. Professor Maps,s there's some that I struggle with. I mean, you wantanna say Panama, but that doesn't have A andI in it, and I'm pretty sure that's not right anyway. Panama,anama would be amazing. That would be absolutely sensational, wouldn't it? John, what are you going for? Manama, Manama However we say it, how are we gonna find it? Well, I sincerely hope we find it in Taiwan trash. James, any thoughts? Not loads. I realized the word saint had A and I in it, so I've gone for Friend of the pod, s Vincent and the Grenadin sludge. Well, there are points on the board here. Oh. However, neither of you have answered the question correctly no. But a bonus point has been found for the slop. The correct answer is Bahrain. Okay F. And one of my slops is sludge. So James gets a point It's a fun word and I mean, just like your answer with AI, it tends to get things kind of right but not really right. so not quite It's perfect. No would it Jim. Three questions in James, you are flying ahead on four points. Well John is just on two. We've got three more questions to go. let's see if he can up and just four more slop words to be found. The question four, what piece of cooking equipment is also known as a water bath? A water bath? What what the kind of baths are there?? I had a bath the other day. What do you put in it? Eh. Bath of beans If we're breaking world records, Eactly? Oh yeah. You don't see that much these days. You don't see that much. In the nineties people were bathing in beans all the time. Oh, left right and center. Couldn't move for them. Eactly. What uses water in the kitchen? Well a water bath is a specific thing. It like you poach fish and stuff in it, I think. Oh, that is helpful. Well, there's no AI in fish, unfortunately. That's no such thing as a fish spin off podcast about technology. Yeah I think that's what it's called. Oh no, Cantrell's Cralling. He's done it. We left him too long. You just leave it too long. He's in the water bath simmering away. So what piece of cooking equipment is also known as a water bath? James? I don't know, but I've found a word that has an A and I next to each other. I've gone for container with There isn't anything you want in the kitchen. It's nothing you want in the kitchen John, what do they want? I hope that they want some ban Marie muck. They do want a ban Marie. Yes. That is also known as a water bath, but neither of you found one of my magic words I'm afraid. so just pointo goes to John Question five, in which movie does Tom Cruise star as Brian Flanagan. Brian Flanagan. He doesn't look like a Brian. I was gonna say exactly that. He does not seem like the kind of guy that's ever played a Brian. Brian. Got it. Speed him up. Right, G your slot word down. Oh w, I' got to write any old thing down for Tom Cruise Fest. In which movie does Tom Cruise star as Brian Flanagan? John? What have you got I found one with an A and I in it, so I've gone for appropriately cocktail swill. And James, what have you gone for? Oh no, I've gone for a different film. Oh, if he's got it right, I would have be gutted. I've gone for Rainman rubbish That's nice too Well, this is quite the high scoring round. Oh my word. You've both found a slop Bizarlely. W! Both swill and rubbish are on my slop list. The slop list. But is it Rayman or is it Ccktail? Brian Flanagan is in cocktail Yeah! A, you're kidding me. Two points to John. No one called Brian makes good cocktails. I'm sorry. No. He is absolutely nowhere near a cocktail bar, Brian. Oh I just found Rayman and I was like, well, that'll be it and then just left it. Brian, come on. He's got to be called Chad or Hank. Hank doesn't make good cocktails at all Russell's cows. he doesn't do any kind of Yeah make this. That's exactly what Hank does. If you're called Hank and make a cocktail, do let us know. But I did like that there was a few Tom Cruise films out there that you up there and Brian is the unsexiest name that I think Tom Cruise has ever gone by. Yeah. So it all comes down to the final question pretty much. O Which animal comes in these varieties? Candy canane, Roman and giant African lam There's an animal you can put after each of those titles. What is that animal? What was the second one? Candyane, Giant African land. Roman. Candyane's fun, isn't it? Yeah. It is, yeah. Oh I, I've written my answer down, but it doesn't have A and I in it. So let me just cross that out. I was going up Giant African land. I was like, oh, I've heard of a giant African land, one of these Doesn't have A and I? I mean, Iven't wren anything down yet, Jim. I can't think of a single thing that has A and I in it. If there's one that's got land in the name, you'd think a a variety of it doesn't live on the land, wouldn't you? Well, exactly, that does suggest that, doesn't it? Got it. It rhymes with one that I'd come up with. Right, Johnny, hurry him up. Yeah, I did tell you to hurry him up for the Tom Cruise film and proceeded to get it incorrect So I then prearing cated for long enough for me to come up with something James, what are you going for? I'm going for snail Duff Oh that's great. And John, what are you going for? Well, I haven't managed to come up with an animal that has an A andI in it. so I've just gone for something that is nice and alliterative with my slot word. so I'm going for a chaff inch chauff. I put tortoise originally because I think I've heard of like a land tortoise and I was like, I doesn't have A andI in it. And then I was like, o Qail That didn't work. I was like, Well, it's a bird and then what rhymes with quQail? But I don't know if I'm right. Johnny, tell me. There are points on the board. The animal that comes from these varieties, Candy canane, Roman and giant African land is the humble snail. W done James. I'm afraid though neither of you found my last Two words? Well done for finding four of them. I'm pretty happy with that. Yeah. The words you were looking for that were left were Drek, which I quite liked and Detritus. I've got Detritus written down on my list but I didn't say it. Oh an idiot. It's such a canantrell word to have written down. I've got Detritus written down on my board actually, but I didn't end up using it John If only you had used Detritus, you would have lost by one point instead of two. James takes the quiz S four well done James, King of the slop. Well done, Jim Let's stop giving me nicknames Johnny. And that was my quiz AI slot Everyone treats summer like it owes you happiness, long days, pool parties, your best life on a loop. So what does it mean when you feel worse? The summer blues are real.

A few weeks ago, Johnny did a quiz where it became abundantly clear that in a life and death situation, my family would not welcome me home seventy two percent of the time But it got me thinking, it got me thinking about how my luck might fare in a far less perilous lower stakes situation. This is what are the odds? And here's what you do. In an ongoing break from Joh Cantreil tradition, the rules are very straightforward. All you need to do is match each event to its corresponding odds of happening and the most correct matches wins. I'm going to give you twelve sets of odds. The only problem is Only eight vents You can hit all the events before you start matching or you can swap them around as you go. However, once I say Pens Downing Street, your odds are locked in. Excellent. It seemed only fitting with the events that I've chosen to present them to you in the form of a very unlikely day in the life. Lovely. Let's play What are the allts So these are the odds that you have to play with. one in nine hundred and seventy eight, one in one thousand, one in two thousand five hundred and fifty seven, one in twenty thousand nine hundred twelve, one in four thousand ninety six, one in ten thousand, one in eleven and a five thousand. one in fifteen thousand three hundred, one in thirty seven and a five thousand, one in one hundred two thousand, one in three hundred forty eight thousand seven hundred forty two One in six hundred and forty nine thousand seven hundred and forty. someome pretty big numbers in there. But there's also some that are scarily close to each other. Who would do such a thing? That's naughty. Right, so I'm gonna take you on a very unlikely day out with John Cantrell. Ready yourselves. It's quite an adventure. I wake up stretch and decide that today feels statistically dangerous. Before I get out of bed coin from my bedside table to test a theory. If today's the day I start simple I flip it again and again and again. flliipping a coin and it twelve times in a rabbit lands on heads. What are the odds? All right, We're not going to hear the whole story. We've got to answer the questions as we go. I don't mind. you don't have to do them as you go. You can come back, you can move around, you can do what you want. Yeah, I think I need to hear all the things first. At breakfast, I crack open an egg. Allright, I say, narrowing my eyes at the universe. you're warming up Cracking an egg only to find it's a double yokre. What are the os Feeling bold, I head out for a walk, despite the stormy skies in the distance. Thunder growled like it' skipped breakfast. Luckily, I'd had my double yokre. I paused at the door and wondered, What are the odds that I get struck by lightning? At any point in my lifetime, I still head out. Oh I thought you were gonna get actually struck by lightning, but no you just thought about it. Just thought about it? It would end the day I guess. Yeah, I'm not sure I'd be having the rest of These are all very unlikely. They are. Yeah, and the one in six hundred forty nine thousand or whatever the top one is. That would mean whyite a lot of people in the UK has happened to. and I think all of these are there. In that ballpunk? Well, let's press on. On the way into town I pass a birthday card shop. A stranger is buying balloons. Let me guess, I say, feeling oddibly confident. You were born on a Tuesday, the fourteenth In March, they blink at me bewildered. How did you do that? How did you guess the day of the week, the date and the month of a completely random person's birthday? What are the odds? Am I allowed to use a calculator for this, Jon? No. No. H on. Johnny answered that first. Let John author his own quiz. Your brain is the best possible calculator, Jim. It's not the calculator is much better You can use your noog in, that is all the tools you're allowed to deploy. I head down to the market. There's a seafood stall there. Fresh oysters are ice. I ask the vendor for one please. I crack it open. Inside a pearl. Wha. What a day. This is scarcely believable. Seriously, finding a pearl and an oyster, what are the odds It's lunchtime and I'm feeling peckish. I wander into a pub where there's a dance match on. Can you believe it? It's Luke the Nuke Litler. He sts up, calm, focused. Nine darts later, perfection. The room erus, I just sit there quietly considering my reality. A professional dance player hitting a perfect nine darter. What are the odds? A professional darts player. Oh yeah, a professional Johnny. The afternoon takes an even more sporty turn as I pass a bowling alley. Why not, I think? The numbers are on my side. Strike after strike. peopleeople startop watching, whispering. I roll the last ball. Another strike, a three hundred game. How is this happening? A casual player rolling a three hundred game? What are the odds ual as opposed to a pro. I thought I'd make it as clear as possible what I'm asking. It's evening now, Casino lights flicker like they know something I don't. I sit at a poker table. The cards are dult and I look down. A ten, a jack. A queen, a king, an ace, all in the same suit. I play it casual, but I'm feeling pretty confident. beinging dealt a royal flush. what are the odds? Johnny you're a big poker player. Have you ever had a royal flush I have. I've had a Royal flush. Wow. I've had a Royal fllush yeah, live in a game, two cards in hand and then just last week someone else I play with the same thing happened. Wh. Did you get burned by it? It wasn on my table luckily. And would you believe it? What are the odds that We spoke about the odds of getting a Ryal flush. That is serendipitous, Johnny. It is serendipitous. It means I might get one right in the whole quiz. Come on, Johnny. Yes. Believe in yourself. Come on, you've got this. Okay. you are welcome to rearrange your answers as you see fit and we will run through them. I'm keeping them as I went. Johnnys vibed as he went. I feel I've got as much chance O that than I do for anything else. Fair enough. I've just been doing the maths on one of them this whole time. So let me go and fill them in. I think I've got that one correct. I'm not mathsing it. My math isn't the same as John's, but it's only out by about six. I'm probably right because I've got a computer to do it and tell me the answer. It's not AI slop, is it, John? Not a chance. Oh I know a lot of the maths that you kind of need to do to get around about the number. I don't know exactly what it is, and it's really annoying that I can't Ly that. Ain't got time for no maths, Jimmy? Johnny is exclusively vibes. Yeah, hundred percent. Is that how you gamble normally, Johnny? Just go there. Pop it on that. I gamble on the vibes and it doesn't work He's a vibesman I won a big five pounds on Thursday. Oh What's the buyin? It's buyin a fiver? Byin's a fiver. Free night out. Exactly. I've got my odds and it's all over the place, John. Mine too. That's exciting. Let's crack on with some answers. The first question was flliipping twelve heads in a row., Johnny, I'm coming to you first. What did you say for that one I have gone for eleven thousand five hundred And Jimmo, what did you say? Well, I know what you need to do. you need to do a half and keep timesing it twelve times, essentially. That is exactly it. But I can't work it out quick enough in my head in the time we're recording this quiz because I was working out the maths of another one that took me ages to do. So I've gone for a round number, so I've gone for thirty seven thousand five hundred Two big numbers The correct answer is four thousand ninety six. A So no points on off for there, I'm afraid. Well that trips me up for my double yoke answer then I may quickly scribble out another answer from elsewhere. Wait, am I allowed to do that? No chance. Yet, they are locked in Pence Downing Street, chaps. Oh he did say Pence Downing Street. He did. The question too was finding yourself a double yoker? Jim, I'm coming to you. I don't imagine this is the correct answer Now I put four thousand and ninety six I don't think it's too rare, but then it hasn't ever happened to me. But I don't think I've had four thousand eggs in my life. You've probably not cracked four thousand eggs. No. Johnny Robins, what have you gone for? I think a lot of hens, chickens, however they should be referred to, probably get inseminated artificially these days, and I'm sure you can even buy boxes of exclusively double yurt Johny an egg is not inseminated. An inseminated egg is a chicken. Well, however they're created I'm no biology chicken expert. But I think there's a way that you can sort of create double yoks because you can buy boxes of double yokca eggs. I'm sure of it, unless I've dreamt it in some weird chicken breen. So I've gone very, very low. I've gotten one in nine hundred seventy eight Johnny, you're so close. It's not it's one in a thousand. I'm afraid the correct answer there. Desperately close. But I mean, the odds aren't actually one in a thousand. It's not going to be a round number for that. So that's I think, Johnny, if it was me, I would give you the point. No way. I'm going with a study into Double Yokers that says it's one in a thousand. But are they just saying that because people don't like z num there's no way the exact odds of a double yokre at every thousand. Yeah. this is true. This is true, but I'm still going to go with the correct answer that I have written down in the squizers. the one thing I am happy about is I've not put one in a thousand for any other answers, so it means at least I've not wiped out another one inadvertently Yeah, neither have I. But then I haven't put nine seventy eight either, which means I might be in trouble at some point. Yeah. The next question was the altar being struck by lightning in your lifetime. Johnny, what have you gone for? I've gone fairly low. thirty seven thousand five hundred. Zap me baby one more time A Jim, what have you gone for? I went high, I went one hundred two thousand. Wow. We are yet to score a point in the quiz, I'm afraid that That's one in fifteen thousand three hundred. Oh, I've just got above it in the list of answers. You have one higher, unfortunately. John, what are the odds that neither of us get a point in this quiz? Well, I'm going have to calculate that afterwards Question four was guessing the day of the week, the date and the month of somebody's birth, Jim, this is the one you spent quite a long time trying to work out. What have you gone for as your answer? So I think you need to do one in seven for working out the day of the week by three hundred sixty six for the amount of days and months that are possible in a year to guess from. and by my calculations seven times three hundred six six was two five six two. But that could be wrong. But there is two fif fifty seven. So I've gone for that. Lovely stuff. And Johnny, what have you gone for? One that I know is wrong because it's come up before. four thousand and ninety six. We have our first correct answer. it won't surprise you to know. it's the one that Jim spent ten minutes doing the maths for It's one in two thousand five hundred and fifty seven. Well done, Jim. So why am I five out with my calculations, John? Have I done something wrong? Where does three hundred and sixty six come from O because there's three hundred and sixty six days in a year you could be born on because of the leap year. It's because it doesn't do by three six six, it does it by three six five point two five.. So there's an ever so slightly different calculation that's made. Okay, we move on to the next question. That is finding a pearl in an oyster. Johnny Robbins, what have we gone for? I've gone for what in ten thousand. It's a nice round even number Jim Siles, what are you going for? I have gone for two thousand nine hundred and twelve, but actually I feel like I should be going for a roundom BeCause that feels like a mati thing. We have another correct answer. Johnny Robbins? It's one in ten thousand. He's on the board. well done, Johnny. And once again, James, I think you're right, It's bigig oyster. They're the people that are selling these numbers. Big oyster. Guys, if you come and buy just ten thousand oysters, you're guaranteed a perm The next one was a pro darts player doing a perfect nine dart checkout, Jim, I'm coming to you. I think I've gotone a bit low here, but because of answers later on, I thought were less likely I've gone for eleven thousand five hundred. interesting and And Johnny what have you gone for? Well, in a real battle of the odds, and it's slightly strange for a number of reasons. One reason because I've actually put the same answer down twice. Vibes, Joonny vibes. And the second is because I've put the same answer as James For some reason I put this down as twelve times flipping heads in a row and also the nine data eleven thousand five hundred. Oh wow. Wow, how are you going to adjudicate this one, John? I'm not going to have to because they're both incorrect. So it's much easier for me to adjudicate. So the correct answer to that is one in twenty thousand nine hundred twelve, which for the average starts player equates to once every three and a half years Which is astonishing. I thought they were knocking him out the park. I mean, I did go pretty high with my answer, but apparently not. Okay, next question is a casual bowler rolling a three hundred game? What have we gone for? Johnny Robbins? I've gone for one hundred two thousand. And James Sales, what have you gone for? There is no chance a casual bowler could do this So I don't even believe these odds True. So I've just gone for the highest one. six hundred forty nine thousand seven hundred and forty. Big numbers. Well, people have got a lot more confidence in someone a casual bowl are doing it. It's one in eleven and a half thousand. Wow There is no way, There is no way. How many times does the mega bowl, your local mega bowl, How many games do they get through a week There is no way people are hitting three hundreds there regularly. I don't think it means, you know, Steve from next door having to go. It's someone who goes bowling, but they're not a pro bowler. but goes bowling regularly. You say casual. You could be casual? Yeah. That means someone who goes regular. If I went bowling once a week, I'm a casual bowler. I play poker twice a week. I'm not a pro poker player C Casual baby. Exactly. I used to be part of a bowling club. I't know I knew you could bowl him. I didn't know that you were part of a bowling club. Dom Caster Junior strikers. Did you ever get a perfect score? No. I got five strikes in a row at the start of a game once and everyone got very excited and then I folded miserably. But I think my highest score was like two thirty or something. That's pretty good, Jim. It's not bad. So we're coming into the last one. This is the odds of getting do a Royal flash. Jim. I'm coming to you. I wanted to put the top answer, but I'd put the bowling one there. So I just went the one down from it. onene in three hundred forty eight thousand seven hundred forty two. Andohnny, what have you gone for? I think James should saved the top answer for this question. I believe it is one in six hundred forty nine thousand seven hundred forty. Well I can let you know that Jim should have saved his big boy for the last question. It is one in six hundred forty nine thousand seven hundred forty. A slumdog millionaired it. Oh no. You've swooped in at the end there to take a two one victory with the last kick of the game Oh no one wins when it's too one. John, what are the odds of someone getting a royal flush a week ago in the pub where I was playing? looking at the odds and talking about it A then you writing a quiz? What are the odds It's madness, isn't it? As soon as you gave those list of numbers and that was the last one, I wrote Royal Flush next to it in my notebook before it even said it. Yeah.redible That's amazing, Johnny. Oh, I can't be upset at losing to someone like that because wow. Look, here's my paper with the answer.

This week, I've been gathering all the quizzes we've done and writing new rounds for a live quiz that we're hosting And if you want to book us for an event or get us to write a custom version of a round you've heard on the pod, then do get in touch. So I grouped the quizzes into several categories and one I hadn't done in a while was what I called an answer rule quiz. And that's where you have a long list of answers and you must find one that follow a certain rule. So a bit like the perfect letter that I did previously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And a question from Johnny's quiz the other week inspired me to come up with this. So this is from A to A and here's what you do. In this quiz, I'm looking for answers that begin and end with the same ter You get one point for a correct answer, an extra point if your answer is alphabetically later than your opponents's and a bonus point if it's the last correct answer alphabetically. Brilliant. So you could get three points for questions here and just to explain how the alphabet works, if Brazilian footballer Zoimo went by the name Z Zo Z, then that would be highly desirable in this quiz. That's probably his nickname, isn't it? Right, s s. Let's play from A to A. We'll start you off nice and easy for one point at least. and it is where the quiz was inspired from. Name a country that has the same first and last letter. Remember it's one point if you can, one point if your answer is alphabetically later than the other person's, and a bonus point if it's the last one alphabetically. If you remember Johnny's question about countountries that end in A, and then John and I just named a load that began with A. I didn't want to reward those answers. So that's why I've come up with that alphabetical rule and rewarding as late as possible. Itees the only reason that exists? I've just written down every letter of the alphabet and I'm going through That's literally what I'm doing now. And the thing with an answer rule quiz is that you can kind of think of a couple of answers, but unless you know every single answer, you can't guarantee that you've got it correct. No. Okay, Johnny, what country have you written down? I have hopefully gone for a country that I've learned through this podcast as my geography wasn't great. It tended to be places I'd been to. all these other little places dotted around, islands, etceta. I'm going Stt Kits and Nevice. O I thought you were going say the answer I said The York quiz, Johnny, St Vincent and the Grenadines. A. It did spring to mind, but I wasn't confident on it, but I'm more confident on the other one Which has happened before. I think it was was Jibouti. I thought I might have made it up, but it turned out it was a real place. And I was sort of doing that with St Vincent and the Grenadines. I was like, it sounds right, but I'm not convinced. Well Saint Kitson Nevis is correct for a point. So well done, Johnny. It isn't the latest alphabetically, but you will get a point if yours is later than John's. John W did you put? I've just gone Routot one Angola. Oh w yeah, it's very early in the alphabet anngola, but it's correct, John. so you're getting a point. So that means Johnny, you score an extra point for your answer being later alphabetically, but there are three answers that are better than that. So well done to anyone who got those. Whoa! The latest one alphabetically is Solomon Islands. So well done to anyone who's said that In the Ses though Johnny, you've just been done by a late S there. I was not getting Solomon Islands. I'll go through all the answers you could have given for a point. Albania, Algeria, Andora, Angola, Antiga and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Central Africa Republic, Staint Kitsen Nevis, Staint Vinton and the Grenadines Seychelles, Solomon Island Alth weren't as many as I thought. Just so I know for next time. So it's Kitzer Nevis, not Nevis. Is that right? Well, I said Nevis because you said Nevis and so one of us will be correct So we've covered it. I've got no idea. Question two. nameame a number between one and a hundred that when written out as the same first and last letter. So again, the extra point is for an answer that is later alphabetically, not numerically here. Oh, because I just quickly wrote one down. It was a high one, but it could not be right We do quite often get you to write out numbers. You should just start having them written on a wall chart like we should with the periodic table. I'm never doing that. I'm not learning the periodic table. I'm not going to learn the planets. I'm just gonna to get those questions wrong every time they're asked. Okay, John, what number have you put down? I've gone for ninety seven Gs you one point, John. Well done. Very late numerically, but there are twow that are later alphabetically. Johnny, what have you put? I initially put down nineteen. however I then went for thirty eight. Oh, a fantastic answer. It's later than John numerically, Johnny. So you get two points. Lovely stuff. But there is a better answer out there. is there? So well done to anyone at home Wh said twenty eight. Oh W Alphabetically. numerically it's low down, but that W sends it alphabetically to the end of the pile. Here are all the answers you could have said. eighty five, eighty nine, eighty one, eighty three, nineteen, ninety seven, thirty eight and twenty eight. Well done to anyone who got those at home. Question three name seventy five single by the Beatles that has the same first and last letter. If it's a Aouble A side, I will take the first letter of the first track and the final one of the last. Oh God. But there are a couple that aren't double A sides. I have absolutely no idea about any Aouble A sides. I'm just gonna write down a Beatle song I've just written down a Beatles song. Okay, Johnny, what have you put? When I first heard the question, I was like, I don't know any Beatles songs. Not entirely a blank spot in my knowledge, but I'm not a huge fan. However, literally the first Beatles song that sprung to mind, I was like, it fits and it's quite high. I'm hoping it's a Beatles song anyway. twwist and shout Johnny, that is correct for a point. Well done. Beautiful. But there is one alphabetically, that is later. John, what have you put? I have not found it because Johnny Robins, I'm twisting a shouting with you. Well done you two. You've twist and shouted to a point apiece, no one gets the bonus. The one for two points and there'll be people screaming this yesterday Oh course Oh, that's one of those that's gonna halold us. And then there are two Aou A sides, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart Club band slash with a little help from my friends. No starts an end with an S and yellow submarine slash Eleanor Rigby. That was a double A side, but yesterday is just after that one, which is why it made it into the quiz 'causeuse if a double A side was the best answer, I would not have included it No That would have been particularly tricky Pointer piece there. well done. Question four. Rnder the pod, name a Shakespeare play that has the same first and last letter. the later alphabetically, the better. Oh no. We have covered Shakespeare plays before but I felt like it had been a few weeks. I've got one, I've instantly written down, but I have a quick look at the list of letters and see if any pop out I'm even dive in to my alphabet palace, see what I can find. Wha! Is it probably better Johnny to go into your alphabet palace backwards and start at Z? 'causeuse normally you start at A don't you? Yeah Let me see. Zoimo, he's in there. Do you remember Zomo and Juliet Z I'm struggling with this lovely stuff. Call it when you want to call it, Jimmy. I might have to push you, John. Push shim, push shim.im. Okay, so John, you've not got anything for this. Can't think of anything, No. brain not working. Okay, Well, Johnny, the door's open here. It's gonna be two points If it is correct because it will be the latest alphabetic cl What do you think? I've got one answer that I know is correct that I wrote down instantly, which I amm gonna lock in as my answer. It can begin with an A and you'll take the two points, Johnny. Yeah But before I give you that, I don't think This is one, but I want to mention it just in case it is. Is there a Richard III part four? I know it's one of those things where there's lots of parts. If there is, then that's incredible. but I't I'm not confident it went that high. No. I did check about how you spell numbers and put everything in there, but I think also because it's written out as a numeral Its been a bit of a grey area, so I'm not sure I'd have accepted it, but no there isn't. Okay, but there wasn't gonna be my answer anyway just in case for that. I've gone for Othello. A friend of the part John's Furious. A big groan from John Cantrell. Oh an I. That is a noise I don't hear often and I love it Iust couldn't think of anything. Well done Johny. Well done Johy Othello is correct and you do pick up the bonus point because John did not give an answer. There are two better answers than it though. So well done to anyone at home who said these. The two pointer was twwelfth night. Oh Of course It's been an infuriating round Sees easy when you know it. It's easy when you know it. And the other two as well, you'll have heard of Athony and Cleopatra. Yeah and the tempest. Oh, I studied the tempest. I should have got that. Question for is my Nadir. This is awful. I should have known all of those. Okay, there's two questions left. I've done one for Johnny and one for John. See if you can work out which is which Question five, nameame a film Christian Bale has acted in that has the same first and last letter. Later alphabetically the better remember. It's a few friends of the pod. so I wanted to do a film question for this and I was trying to research who I could include because you need to know a wide variety of their films because there's a couple who have O or two But there are a few in here that people will have heard of. The two pointer, however, I'm not familiar with, but it does feature lots and lots of famous people, so maybe you guys know it. Oh, I've got one, but now you've mentioned the two pointer's got lots and lots of people. I know it won't be what I've got so there's one highire if I can work it out. Yeah. We said you hadn't heard of it I did say that, yeah, or am I able a thing? Did he feature in the Vin Diesel movie XXX? That would be excellent, wouldn't it? That would be a great answer. I don't think I'm gonna find a better answer than I've got. Okay Johnny, this is the question I wrote for you. So what have you put? I've gone for one I think it's going be quite high because it's a T. It's a film he famously lost a lot of weight for. I've gone for the machinist. Oh, it's a great answer, Johnny. One point guaranteed. It isn't the latest alphabetically though So John, what have you put? I was trying to think of that and I couldn't think of it. I went route one, The Dark Kight. That is just behind the machinist on the list. two and three. brronze and silver you guys have won. Oh So you do get a point there, John. Bow. Johnny gets a bonus. Oh I'm loving this. loving this. He's flying. But the best answer Again, it's a film I don't know, but I'll list who stars in it, Johnny, and if you can tell me what it is, Yes, that's a fun game. Yeah. you don't get any points, but it's just fun it. Go on. So it stars Christian Bale, Bob Hoskins, Patricia Arquette, Gerard Deepardu, Eddie Iszard before they became known as Susie, Robin Williams Jim broadbent and it scores fifty percent on rotten tomatoes. Ting average. It's in the nineties. That is quite. It's an incredible cast. I don't know what it is. John, do you know? Not a clue. No. It's the Secret Agent. Never heard of it. Never heard of it. There's always gonna be a movie called The Secret Agent, but I do not know what that is. I think it's probably worth saying. I presumed it would be quite famous and people out there might know it. People it's a bit like Johnny writing a football question where he's gone I didn't know that And me and John are like No, but no idea. peoplee out there, if you've seen the secret agent, let us know if it's worth us watching. Get it on your letter boxed. So the secret agent was the two pointer. You guys said the Dark Knight and the machinist, There were two others you could have said for a point, The Big short and swing kids, which I haven't heard of from his early days, but someone will have seen it So no one has found any two pointer yet, but I think there's a chance here. and this is for you, John, really, That's why I've written it Needle hope I can get Question six, name any football team that has ever played in the UK Premier League that has the same first and last letter. Help you out, so you're not thinking for too long. There aren't loads. I've got one. I might as well stop. You've got one, Shwnny. You've done that quicker than I have. Timeem out, James. Tim him out now like becausecause this question was for you, I will give you a little bit longer than I want to. I don't know why. My brain is just not braining at all. I cannot think of anything. I think it's because you're using words like braining, John. Well, it doesn't help, does it?
