00:00Good night.
00:29Good day! I'm Adam Harrells!
00:33Welcome to Fiction Specs,
00:34the music quiz show that's going to tear the roof off the sucker
00:36but has obtained all necessary council approvals first.
00:39Joining me as always are our two team captains.
00:41His buddies and him are getting real well known
00:43and the bad guys know her and they leave her alone.
00:46It's Alan Brough and Miff Wahurst!
00:50Alan's first guest tonight is an up-and-coming hip-hop artist
00:53who loved the TV show Glee so much as a kid
00:55she referred to herself as a gleek.
00:57These days she's just a badass blitz with no flux to give.
01:01Please welcome Devorah!
01:05Alan's second guest tonight is a laconic comedian and actor
01:08who also loves playing frisbee.
01:10Unlike his stage persona, sometimes he does give a toss.
01:13Please welcome Colin Lane!
01:17This first guest tonight is a legendary Aussie drummer
01:19and the lead singer of Spider-Bate
01:21whose iconic stage name is simply his first name
01:24but spelt backwards.
01:25Thank God his parents didn't call him Gav,
01:27please welcome Cram!
01:28Ms. final guest is a comedian who as a rebellious teenager
01:36used to annoy the neighbours by singing Paramore songs
01:39while using her ride on mower.
01:41Because nothing encapsulates the spirits of early 2000s pop-punk
01:45more than conscientious lawn maintenance
01:47please welcome Danielle Walker!
01:48What sort of mower did you have?
01:57Oh I don't know because it came with the house
01:59and the front was missing off it
02:02so it was just sort of exposed.
02:03Like a hot rod mower!
02:04Yeah it was exposed
02:05and one time I got it stuck in a ditch
02:07and then I had to pull it out
02:08and I put my knee on the muffler
02:10so I have a muffler shaped scarf
02:12on my knee.
02:13Yeah.
02:14I thought it was actually pretty cool but...
02:17We're also celebrating Australian music tonight
02:19with a powerful closing number
02:21from singer-songwriter Grace Cummings!
02:23Congratulations are in order
02:28so American Rolling Stone magazine last year
02:31named their top 100 albums of 2024

02:39So there were only two Australian albums
02:43in that 100

04:50In a ceremony that saw the auditorium join in with lines from the track
04:54I love that
04:55Devorah do you have any beefs with anyone?
04:57I have beef with the prices at Kohl's
04:59I'm
05:00Yes
05:02Yes
05:03I mean while we're talking food beefs
05:08Danielle you have food beef right?
05:09Yeah well I've received a lot of angry emails from grain farmers in America
05:13Um because there is a different Danielle Walker who they confuse me with
05:18Who's a New York Times bestselling author who's a celiac
05:21Um
05:22Oh
05:22And she's written a book called Against All Grains
05:26And she's
05:27Against All Grains
05:30And they keep emailing me saying
05:32I'm ruining their industry
05:34And I have to say
05:35I
05:36I eat
05:37Grain
05:38And
05:39Like so much grain
05:42If you want to send me some free grain
05:44I'll
05:44Promote it or something to help out
05:47I don't know
05:48Meanwhile there's a celiac author in New York getting emails saying
05:50You were great on Taskbar
05:51All right let's move on to ARIA Awards
05:55Your first question for one point
05:57In 2007 the ARIA Awards found itself in hot water
06:00After viewers realised they were being subjected to an unusual marketing technique
06:04What was it?
06:05Oh
06:06That was sub
06:07What do you call it subliminal marketing
06:09They were chucking like images in the broadcast really quickly
06:12Yes correct subliminal advertising
06:14It was bizarre
06:15It was as they showed the nominees
06:17There'd be a flash that would go you know the category
06:19And then there'd be the sponsor just appearing for a second
06:23I know and look I just want to say
06:25We here at the ABC think that is absolutely appalling
06:27And would never sing
06:29Never sing so low
06:31As to slip in some subliminal advertising during a show
06:35All right for two points
06:38In 1995 one of the members of Silverchair
06:40Knocked himself out with an instrument
06:42While performing in front of the ARIA audience
06:43Oh yes
06:45That's a two part question isn't it
06:47Yeah
06:47So it's a bass player
06:49Okay
06:50Is that the first part correct?
06:53No
06:53So I'm going to ask this side
06:56Which member was it and what was the instrument?
06:58It was the drummer
06:59Yes
07:00And his name is Ben Gillies
07:01And what was the instrument?
07:02The instrument was the drum kit
07:04He headbutted the drums
07:06It looked sick
07:07I was there
07:08It was awesome
07:08And then he knocked himself unconscious
07:10Oh my days
07:12Final question for the three points
07:13Three of these artists are currently tied for the most best female artist award at the Arias
07:19Which three?
07:21It's got to be Sia
07:22It's got to be Sia
07:24That's one
07:25We'll go Kylie and Delta
07:28No
07:29So I'm going to let you have a crack at the other two
07:31Sorry Mif
07:31So Sia is correct
07:33Who are the other two?
07:34I'm imagining it's
07:35Tina Arena
07:37And probably
07:38Casey Chambers
07:40You got Casey Chambers correct
07:43The other one was Wendy Matthews
07:44Oh
07:45I'm sorry
07:46Alright at the end of that round
07:48Alan, Devorah, Colin are on four points
07:50Mif Cram, Danielle five points
07:51Round two tonight is called
07:56Look What They've Done To My Song Ma
07:58Teams have to buzz in and identify the tunes being performed live in the studio
08:02Tonight your songs are being played by Miles Brown on The Theremin
08:06Could we have song one please?
08:26Yes
08:26Is it a fine line between pleasure and pain by the divinals?
08:30Yes it is
08:30Oh
08:30Thank you
08:32Wow
08:33Dude that just sounds so amazing
08:35It makes me want to cry
08:37You're incredible
08:37That's sick
08:38Can you play Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys?
08:44Oh yeah
08:44Is that the most requested theremin song?
08:48It's like the stairway to heaven
08:49And for those watching at home
08:53Not actually played on a theremin
08:55True
08:55It's a tenorin
08:56Yeah invented by this guy who couldn't play the theremin
08:58Wow
09:01There's a beef
09:03Next song please
09:05Yes
09:18It's Baddie Holly by Weezer
09:20It is Baddie Holly by Weezer
09:22All right final song please
09:25Yes riff
09:37If I go out in the rain
09:40It's Rain by Dragon
09:41Yeah correct
09:42Amazing
09:43And we have a round of applause for Miles and the theremin
09:47That was amazing
09:51At the end of that round the scores are
09:53Alan, Devorah, Colin five points
09:54Miff, Cran, Danielle seven points
09:57The next game tonight is a new one and it's called instrumental as anything
10:05I'm going to show each team a word
10:07Teams have to decide is it an instrument or is it anything
10:11Miff's team, you can go first
10:12Is a hydrolophone an instrument or an early underwater communication device
10:18Is it too obvious that it is a phone
10:20I reckon it's, I reckon it's, so they try and trick you on this show
10:23I know
10:23They put things out there, they try and, I reckon my instincts, my spics and specs instinct
10:29tells me that there's every chance that this is an instrument
10:32Okay we'll go with that
10:33A hydrolophone is a tonal acoustic instrument that's played by direct physical contact with water
10:38And it looks like this
10:40Oh
10:41Oh wow
10:43It's beautiful
10:44You'd get a bit of the dishpan hands after a long concert though wouldn't you
10:47Probably just ten kids at school just going I just want a drink mate
10:51Oh listen while we're talking about phones though Devorah
10:56Oh
10:56Is it true you have a diabolical amount of unread text messages
11:00Look I will say that the notification number got up to the four digits
11:06Oh
11:08Do you have any friends left?
11:10Well
11:11See what they do is they send a carrier pigeon
11:14Alan your team's up next
11:17Is a gassoon an instrument or 18th century Irish slang for a serving boy?
11:24It seems too close to bassoon
11:26Yeah that's what I was thinking
11:27Like you've got a bassoon
11:29I've got
11:30Why would someone go we need a different sort of bassoon
11:34Maybe that's why
11:36I've got some gossip but I've got to tell somebody really soon
11:39I think it's Irish slang for a serving boy
11:44Okay, gassoon is an Irish slang word for serving boys
11:47Yeah
11:49That's cramming his youth
11:52Yeah
11:53You're up next, here's your word
11:57Is a wham-ola an instrument or a board game based on the songs of the 80s band Wham?
12:02Oh is that okay?
12:03I mean it has to be a board game
12:05So it's not a breakfast cereal that they brought out when they were
12:08Nah
12:09Yes it's a George Michael muesli
12:11Does that make you go-go after you wake up?
12:15It sounds like something you'd shout
12:21Wham-ola
12:22Like board games
12:23Yeah
12:24Would they really release a board game called Wham-ola?
12:26They were pop stars though
12:27They did everything
12:28They were gorgeous
12:29I loved all of them
12:30I don't think they came up with the idea
12:31I think someone in their marketing team said
12:33We've got a game
12:34And then they went yeah whatever
12:35God how cynical
12:36Imagine when a marketing team say
12:38Oh we've got a board game
12:39And you go yeah sure put our faces on it
12:46Alright it's got to be a board game
12:48A Wham-ola is an instrument with a whammy boat
12:51Yes it will scream that you pluck, slap or hit with a drum stick
12:54And it looks like this
12:58That's not an instrument, that's awful
13:00That's sick
13:02That's kind of funky
13:03If Tony Levin played that it would sound sick
13:06I love that you love different types of music as well
13:08Oh yeah
13:09You have a bit of a soft spot for Enya
13:11Is that right?
13:12I love the first Enya record called The Celts
13:14Released in 1983
13:16Yeah
13:17It was a soundtrack when she first left the family
13:19And left Clannard
13:20And I listen to this record almost every day
13:22It's beautiful
13:23She made all her millions
13:25And she bought a castle
13:26Lives in it on her own with her eight cats
13:28And she is living her best life
13:30Oh
13:32Alright Alan
13:33Here is your last word
13:35Is a flexitone an instrument
13:37Or an exercise device advertised on late night television
13:40Exercise device?
13:41That does look like ITVN
13:43Surely not an exercise equipment
13:45It just sounds too much like a piece of exercise equipment
13:47Or is that?
13:48Because it is a piece of exercise equipment
13:50It's messing up with your mind
13:52It's messing with you
13:54I
13:55Alan are you alright?
13:57As soon as you started talking about Enya you just went off into somewhere else
14:03I was talking about Clannard and I
14:07A big Clannard fan
14:08How good is that?
14:09How good is that?

14:44Anyway we're back

14:47Tell us more about
14:52The Flexitone
14:53Is the Flexitone an instrument or an exercise device
14:56Advertised on late night television?
14:58I think it's an instrument
15:00Yeah?
15:01Because it's
15:02You don't think
15:03Like I feel like
15:04It's not like some type of ab
15:05Abductor
15:06Type
15:07Flexitone
15:08Flexitone
15:09Flexitone
15:10Like a
15:11You think it's a musical instrument
15:13Or you think it's an exercise equipment
15:14Alan?
15:15Uh
15:19Which one are you nodding violently about?
15:22The one that you as the captain think is the correct one!
15:26Musical instrument
15:29Alan?
15:30It's a musical instrument
15:32The Flexitone
15:33Is a percussion instrument
15:35Feathing a flexible metal sheet often using classical cartoons for its glissando effect!
