00:00Welcome, welcome, welcome to Brain Busters presents Photo 5-Way,
00:05the game where we plumb the depths of our contestants wrestling knowledge,
00:09while also testing out their ability for lateral thinking.
00:13So let's meet today's contestants.
00:15Hello, I'm Sullivan.
00:16Hi, I'm Dan.
00:17I'm Ollie.
00:18And I'm SoCalVal, and our topic today is in the news,
00:21meaning all of our questions will be about wrestling news stories
00:24that we've covered here on WrestleTalk during the summer of 2025.
00:28Helping me out today are our esteemed special guest referees
00:32from Clash of the Comics, it's Max and Yvonne.
00:35How are you doing?
00:36All right.
00:37Yeah, thank you.
00:38Doing very well, thanks, Val. How are you doing?
00:40Very well, thank you.
00:41Without further ado, let's get cracking with the first of our questions.
00:44Question number one, worth four points.
00:47Announcers past and present, and a melancholy bird.
00:54Gorgeous accent work.
00:55Thank you. Stop it.
00:58Okay, Sad Peacock.
01:01So Peacock is the broadcast platform.
01:04Announce.
01:05Or an announcement has been made relating to Peacock that has made them sad.
01:13Or maybe it's about how sad they are and we just need to talk to them about.
01:17Yeah, maybe they need some advice and help.
01:19Is it a person or is it a concept or...?
01:22It's a wrestling news story that's been in the news.
01:25Oh, it's a news story.
01:26In the news.
01:27You should have a massive advantage.
01:28Yeah, you do this every day.
01:29You present the news all the time.
01:30Well, it's...
01:31We're barely aware.
01:32Okay.
01:33Is it the news that WWE PLEs are going on ESPN?
01:39That is correct.
01:40Oh, well done.
01:41So many letters.
01:42Yeah, WWE PLEs.
01:45Sad Peacock indeed.
01:47Yeah.
01:48And those three announcers have, of course, both worked for the WWE and ESPN.
01:53Oh, that's very clever.
01:54Oh, that's very clever.
01:55Yeah.
01:56Now, just for fun, let's have a look at the other clues.
01:59Tennis.
02:00Sports, sports, sports.
02:02Got it.
02:03A remote control.
02:05So much you could stream.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Oh.
02:09Next year's calendar.
02:10Right, I see.
02:11I see.
02:12Yes, indeed.
02:13ESPN is the top sports network in the US.
02:16Under the deal, WWE events will be available via ESPN's on-demand streaming service.
02:21And the deal starts in 2026.
02:24Question number two, worth four points.
02:27Someone signing their will and a valve preparing to let off steam.
02:33Okay, I have a theory immediately.
02:35Share it with us.
02:36Oh, no.
02:37Because that's not how the game works.
02:39Yeah, we can help you, Dan.
02:40Dan, we can help you.
02:42Don't worry about where my hand is.
02:45Don't worry about just telling me what you think it might be.
02:48A valve.
02:49It's the valve that's throwing me, but the letting off steam may be, do you know what?
02:53Am I going to live dangerously?
02:55Live dangerously.
02:56Hit that bell.
02:57Sorry.
02:58I feel like a real enabler.
03:01What have I done?
03:03Is this to do with Brooke Hogan and her involvement or lack thereof in Hulk Hogan's will and letting off steam by posting about it on social media?
03:14First of all, dark.
03:17That's why I didn't want to ding the bell.
03:19I'll make a bright noise again and lift the mood.
03:21That is incorrect.
03:23Oh, God.
03:24I thought we had it.
03:25I know how to do it.
03:26Because it looks like a daughter and you know.
03:28Dan, I'm so sorry to tell you, you've been frozen out of this question.
03:32This is a lesson everybody.
03:33Just like Brooke Hogan was frozen out of Hulk Hogan's will.
03:36You know what?
03:37Yeah?
03:38You stay down there.
03:39All right.
03:40Question number two.
03:41Clue number two.
03:42That's me.
03:43Why is he?
03:44For three points.
03:45Sullivan Brown.
03:46Oh, right.
03:47If I'm a clue.
03:48Were you frozen out of Hulk Hogan's will?
03:49Well, yeah, I was.
03:50The bastard.
03:51He wouldn't let me in.
03:52So annoying people.
03:53Letting off steam.
03:54Handsome, sexy guys.
03:55We're talking about handsome, sexy guys, right?
03:56Oh, this is.
03:57What?
03:58How am I a clue?
03:59Okay.
04:00Okay.
04:01Okay.
04:02Okay.
04:03Okay.
04:04Okay.
04:05Okay.
04:06Okay.
04:07Okay.
04:08Okay.
04:09Okay.
04:10Okay.
04:11Okay.
04:12Okay.
04:13Okay.
04:14Okay.
04:15How am I a clue?
04:16Okay.
04:17Think cryptically.
04:18Lenin off steam.
04:19A will.
04:20Where there's a will, there's a Sullivan Bo Brown.
04:24That's true.
04:25Why?
04:26Sullivan?
04:27It's similar to do with Captain Sully.
04:29Sullivan is a YouTube star.
04:32YouTube.
04:33YouTube.
04:34Can we have another clue?
04:36Yeah.
04:37Let's go to our next clue worth two points.
04:40Board games.
04:41Board games.
04:42Board games.
04:43Well, that's just the same clue.
04:44That's the same clue.
04:45That's the same clue.
04:46That's what I do on the YouTube.
04:47Okay.
04:48Ah, but who's that?
04:49That's Miss Scarlet.
04:50Mmm.
04:51Oh!
04:52Oh!
04:53Oh!
04:54I've just got one.
04:55You're in there.
04:56Is it to do with carrying Cross's contract?
04:59Damn it!
05:00That's why Sullivan's one of the clues.
05:03That is correct.
05:04Well done.
05:05Yes.
05:06Yes.
05:07Yes.
05:08Oh, God.
05:09Wow.
05:10Bloody hell.
05:11Yes, Sullivan's brother from another mother is carrying Cross.
05:14Have we ever seen them in the same room?
05:16They could be, in fact, one and the same.
05:18Yes.
05:19But yes, a will is, of course, someone's final testament.
05:22And a final testament is considerably less literal than I guess.
05:27It was more cryptic.
05:29And the Valve is preparing for a release.
05:32Ouch.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Technically, the contract wasn't renewed.
05:36Not technically a release.
05:38But okay.
05:39But he let off steam by venting around him.
05:43I thought that's what it was.
05:44His worksheet promise, so did I, but apparently no.
05:46And you rightly pointed out that is Miss Scarlet from Cluedo.
05:51So if anything, this is really my points.
05:53Let's look at the last clue.
05:57A biblical scene.
05:58Carrying across.
06:00Yeah.
06:01Literally.
06:02I once tweeted Carrying across about how we looked similar and he agreed.
06:05Yeah.
06:06And he seemed like a nice guy.
06:07He was very in on the gag.
06:09Yeah, it was fantastic.
06:10Best day of my life.
06:12He was so nice.
06:13Best holiday of my whole life.
06:15He's a handsome man.
06:17Looks like he.
06:18And now for our third and final question.
06:20This clue is worth four points.
06:22Oh, damn.
06:23That's horrible.
06:24A bird of prey and a skidwork.
06:27Do you think that bird looks sadder than the first bird?
06:31Yeah.
06:32It looks sadder.
06:33I'm noticing the search history of sad winged creatures.
06:36Ornithological depression is nothing to laugh at.
06:39He just looks like he's going, why am I doing this?
06:42Lots of wrestlers poo their pants in the ring.
06:44Do any of them make birds cry?
06:46Bird of prey, eagle, and the eagle.
06:48A hawk.
06:49I think a hawk.
06:50I think a hawk.
06:51Restless from the bird of prey, but I don't know.
06:53I don't know any news stories.
06:55What do you mean to do this?
06:56Skidmark won't, chant, mustn't, and haven't.
06:59Can we get another clue so that the skidmark goes away?
07:02Let's get another clue.
07:04This is worth three points.
07:06A pneumatic drill.
07:07A pneumatic drill?
07:08Pounding.
07:09Shafari went straight away.
07:10Straight to pounding.
07:11Yeah, I did.
07:12Yeah, yeah.
07:13All the way on that train to Poundtown.
07:14It's been a big summer.
07:15A bear Leighton is the bear.
07:16Are we allowed to give clues?
07:17Well, these are clues.
07:18That's the clues I've been given.
07:19Oh, yes.
07:20Yeah, sorry.
07:21Sad bird of prey.
07:22I think I'm getting distracted by how sad the bird is.
07:25Yes, it's just a bird.
07:27It's just a bird.
07:30What just happened?
07:32Bird of prey.
07:33Sad bird of prey. I think I'm getting distracted by how sad the bird is.
07:38It's just a bird. It's just a bird.
07:43Bird of prey. Eagle. Drilling. Noise. Drills. Drills. DIY. That's not DIY. You don't use
07:58a pneumatic drill for DIY. Well, not with that attitude. Expand your horizon, Sullivan.
08:04Expand the M25. There you go. Someone has to. Oh, they're doing DIY on the motorway again.
08:14And I'm just ignoring the skid mark. I know what bird it is, I'm pretty certain.
08:22Go on, say it out loud. I'm not going to say it out loud.
08:24Just in case you're wrong like I was in the last round and you feel embarrassed.
08:27No, because it will give you a clue. Let's have another clue, shall we?
08:31Worth two points. An odd looking maritime hazard.
08:35I thought that was a pavlova. Iceberg, bird, goldberg.
08:39But it's an odd looking. Shit the bird.
08:41Goldberg, right? That is a goldberg.
08:43Oh, is it gold? Yes, that's gold.
08:46It's goldberg. It's not green, is it?
08:48Yes. That's a goldberg. Drills.
08:52Pneumatic. There's pneumonia. Maybe there's an illness.
08:54They shat the bird with his programme speech in the retirement.
08:58Oh, it's goldberg.
09:03It's literally right there.
09:04I see you're goldberg and I raise you to expand…
09:08Oh, it's the story. It's the story.
09:10It's the story. In the news.
09:11Goldberg. Goldberg complaining about his retirement.
09:17That's close enough to be erect.
09:19Yes. Oh, what a pyrrhic victory.
09:23We'll have the referees explain.
09:24Yes. The answer we have is Goldberg retired.
09:27But Goldberg complaining about his retirement is kind of, you know, one and the same.
09:31He had his last match this summer, unsuccessfully challenging Gunther
09:33for the World Heavyweight Championship in Atlanta.
09:36Now, for those clues.
09:37It's an Atlanta Falcon, isn't it?
09:38Dan, rightfully, yes, name the bird. It was a Falcon.
09:41It was a Falcon.
09:42Goldberg played for the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL.
09:45The skid mark. A synonym for that skid mark, anyone?
09:49I didn't realise that there were multiple options.
09:52I didn't know there was a menu for skid marks.
09:54Well, some might call it a streak.
09:57Oh, no.
09:58No, who made this?
10:00I'm like, some absolute scat pervert in the Russell Fork Police Department.
10:06Is it too late for me to retract my permission to appear in this video?
10:11You brought up Hogan's death.
10:12I did, yeah.
10:12So, if anything, I'm looking for an out.
10:14Dan, you're the mayor of Pound Town.
10:17That image refers to Goldberg's undefeated streak of 173 matches in WCW.
10:23And the pneumatic drill.
10:27Jack, it's a jackhammer.
10:27It's a jackhammer.
10:28It's a jackhammer, guys.
10:29It's a jackhammer.
10:31Of course, I know that.
10:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:32As the mayor of Pound Town.
10:35Let's look at the final clue.
10:37Getting out of the old rat race.
10:39Ah, yes.
10:40Makes sense.
10:40Yeah.
10:41That's the last of our three questions and the end of our show.
10:44But who has scored the most points?
10:46Max?
10:47Ivan?
10:48Give us the old lowdown.
10:49Dan, you identified many of the clues, but unfortunately, you didn't get any of the answers.
10:56The brains of the operation.
10:58It was zero for you.
10:59Sully, congratulations.
11:00You got two whole points.
11:03But in the lead, and our winner today, Oli with six points.
11:09Congratulations, Oli.
11:11How do you feel?
11:11Oh, fantastic.
11:12It's a lifelong achievement.
