00:56G'day Max
00:57Hi
00:57So American Psycho is your expert subject
01:00What's it all about?
01:01It's about a 27 year old Wall Street guy who's just having, you know, just having a wild time
01:09Living in the 80s
01:10I'll miss some like violence and stuff
01:11Yeah, there's a bit of, yeah, bit of blood
01:13Yeah, he's a psycho
01:15And he's American
01:17Are you American or psycho?
01:20I'm not American, no, Tom
01:26Now this is you in the snow, now we often ask people to send us pictures to show stuff about
01:31their exciting life, why is this exciting?
01:33I'm in Canada and I'm having such a great time on so much snow, but there is so much that
01:38it starts to melt on my forehead, but as soon as it leaves it, it starts to immediately freeze again
01:42Do you have any other great travel anecdotes?
01:46I came to Melbourne for the show to have a fun time Tom
01:54Hey Tom
01:55Now you're into kookaburras
01:56I am
01:57What got you into these giggle chickens?
01:59They're lovely
02:00They're great birds and I talk to them
02:02What do you talk to them about?
02:04I answer what they have to say to me
02:06Oh, really? So can you talk like a kookaburra?
02:11After a few beers I'm better at it
02:16Can you give us a sample of your work?
02:32I think you're an Australian psycho
02:35Now Terry, you've got a collection of cricket bats in your man cave
02:39I do
02:39I have to ask, are any of those kookaburras?
02:42They are
02:42I can see one there
02:44Why do you have so many bats?
02:46I like them
02:51Sass
02:51What is Franklin's Lost Expedition?
02:54Can you describe it without giving too much away?
02:57It is an expedition to a remote place where many people died
03:04Yes!
03:06Sounds exciting
03:07You've got me interested
03:08So you're into the history
03:10But you like history with, you like it to be grim
03:12Yeah, yeah, absolutely
03:14Feels like a bit of an old man topic
03:15Are you also into red wine and complaining about the woke mind virus?
03:20Now you sent us a photo of preserved meat
03:25Where'd you get that from?
03:26The ABC canteen?
03:29Yep, that was at the British Maritime Museum in Greenwich
03:32And it was my favourite artefact from the expedition that they have in their collection there
03:37Now you knitted yourself a balaclava so you could look like a dead explorer, is that right?
03:41I did, yes
03:46Catherine
03:47G'day
03:47Now your expert subject is the French horn
03:50What makes it French?
03:51It's actually not French
03:53It's actually not French
03:54Oh
03:54But originally when it first started being included in orchestras
03:58It was called the corps de chasse
04:00So the Frenchness stuck
04:03But most of the innovations in the horn occurred in Germany
04:07So it's not French
04:09But no one else really cares
04:10What makes it horny?
04:12Oh
04:13You just have a listen
04:15It makes everyone horny
04:17Not just itself
04:20Its official name is the French horn
04:22But to be fair that's not what serious players call it, do they?
04:25No, they just call it the horn
04:27Just the horn
04:27Do you want me to call it the horn or the French horn?
04:29No, no, the horn is fine
04:30So as well as having the horn, you're a medical officer in prison
04:34Yes
04:34So are most of your call-outs Shiv related?
04:37Not as many as you might think
04:39Oh
04:39But there's a lot of
04:40Oh yes, I punched a wall
04:41But the wall also had teeth
04:42And then there's all these teeth marks on their hands
04:45So there's a lot of that
04:46Wow
04:47No, just calm down, you're freaking out Max
04:51Even Max is going
04:52This is a bit much
04:55Alright, let's play
04:58Expert round
04:58Expert subjects
05:00Win or lose five points
05:02Steal and answer
05:03Double points
05:04I'll ask each of you five questions on your expert subject
05:07Right, you get five points
05:08Wrong, I'll take five points from you
05:10The rest of you can steal at any time to get double points
05:12Let's start with Catherine and her expert subject
05:15The French horn
05:20We already agreed it shouldn't be called the French horn
05:22I feel bad about it
05:23Don't worry, I'll fix it
05:24Marty
05:25Can you just
05:27There you go
05:30Thanks mate
05:31Is that better?
05:32The horn
05:33The great thing is when people tune in now
05:35They're going to stay
05:39Modern horns evolved from a 17th century instrument known as a corps de chasse
05:43Named after its use in what activity?
05:46Catherine
05:46Hunting
05:48Correct
05:50The corps de chasse or hunting horn was for giving signals
05:53So it was designed to be played with one hand while on horseback
05:56Can you do that?
05:57Well I used to be able to
05:58Oh, really?
06:00Well I didn't actually do it but I could have
06:02I used to be able to ride a horse
06:03I mean I rode and I could ride without using my hands on the horse
06:08I get it
06:09I could have rid my unicycle
06:12I didn't
06:13But I could have
06:16While buying a hornist's left hand typically operates the horn's valves
06:19While their right hand goes inside the flared section known as the what?
06:24Can you scale it back?
06:25Is it a bell?
06:26Correct
06:26Double one
06:27What does the right hand do when it's in there?
06:33It can alter the pitch
06:34And it does
06:35Yeah
06:35It changes the tuning
06:36And also it can change the sound
06:38You can do a thing called hand stopping
06:39Which makes it sound very different
06:42Have a listen to this
06:46Featured on the Star Wars soundtrack
06:48The horn is a key part of the theme for which heroine?
06:52Catherine
06:52Princess Leia
06:54Correct
06:59Celebrated horn player Dennis Brain performed at the Hofnung Music Festival in 1956
07:05Playing what everyday item instead of a horn?
07:08Catherine
07:09A host play?
07:11Correct
07:16There's a lot of teenagers in the town where I live who do play the garden hose
07:22So they tend to suck not blow Catherine
07:24I actually have played the hose pipe at a concert too
07:27And the teapot
07:28Was there anything smouldering in the end of it?
07:31Not at my
07:32It was at my high school so
07:34So yes
07:35Yeah well it should have been
07:39Last question in your set Catherine
07:41Celebrities who played the horn in their youth include Samuel L. Jackson, Ariana Grande
07:46And which star of the 1996 film
07:48Max for the steal
07:50Is it Ewan McGregor?
07:51Correct
07:52That was nice for Ewan
07:56Yes star of the 1996 film Trainspotting
07:59How'd you get that Max?
08:01I really like Trainspotting
08:03But I just said 1996 film
08:05I didn't get to Trainspotting
08:06Everyone knows Ewan played the horn
08:08There's a video on YouTube
08:12I was actually hoping you would say it was Ewan
08:14And then it would be who else
08:16And was it
08:17Could it have been the man with the snakes on the plane?
08:20And then
08:20Oh I see
08:21Alright
08:21You've probably overthought it
08:24Next set of questions is for Sass
08:26On Franklin's Lost Expedition
08:31In 1845
08:32Sir John Franklin and his crew left England
08:34In search of the Northwest Passage
08:36A shortcut from the Atlantic
08:38To the Pacific
08:39Through which other ocean?
08:42Terry for the steal
08:43Atlantic
08:44Incorrect
08:46Sass
08:46The North Sea
08:48Incorrect
08:49It's wide open
08:50For the steal
08:59You're a psycho Max
09:00Who has no concerns for other people's feelings
09:04They didn't quite make it through
09:05They did they Sass?
09:06No they didn't
09:07No this is actually where they got stuck
09:10There
09:10And then all 129 of them died
09:14Aww
09:16The two ships
09:17HMS Terra and Erebus
09:19Became trapped in sea ice
09:21Despite being fitted with steam engines
09:22Sars from what mode of transport?
09:25Sass
09:25Trains
09:26Correct
09:31Scottish explorer John Ray
09:32Later discovered from local Inuit people
09:35That Franklin's starving crew
09:36Had engaged in what to do practice?
09:38Sass
09:39Cannibalism
09:39Oh sorry
09:40Correct
09:43Yeah though when Ray reported this back to England
09:45People wouldn't believe that the crew
09:47Had eaten each other
09:48They didn't believe him
09:49No they didn't
09:50Franklin's wife Lady Jane
09:52Funded multiple expeditions
09:53To uncover her husband's fate
09:55And erected a monument to him
09:57In which London church?
09:58To the steal of Terry
09:59Westminster Abbey
10:01Correct
10:01That's an old man subject
10:09I knew it the minute I saw him
10:11Terry's right in there
10:11He can't wait to crack a bottle of red
10:15Last question in your set Sass
10:17Franklin's voyage inspired several artworks
10:19Including this painting titled
10:21Man Proposes
10:22God
10:23Sass
10:23Disposes
10:24Correct
10:26Man Proposes
10:27Man Proposes
10:28God Disposes
10:29Alright time now for Terry
10:31And Kookaburras
10:36How do you explore your interests
10:38Do you take photos of them
10:40Like what
10:40What do you do?
10:42I hear them
10:45There's a family that locates my neighbour's back yard, so they're the crew I check out
10:53every day.
10:55So you're essentially perving on a kookaburra family?
10:58Why not?
11:05Kookaburras are part of the Kingfisher family, with the largest of the species named for
11:09what sound?
11:10Terry?
11:11The laughing kookaburra.
11:13Correct.
11:20Their name comes from the Wiradjuri term gugaburra, which is onomatopoeia for their laughing
11:25call.
11:26So the laughing kookaburra is basically the laughing laughter.
11:30The carnivorous birds hunt by perching and pouncing, and are commonly thought to have been introduced
11:35to Tasmania in the 1900s to help control what reptile population?
11:39Sasquatch steel.
11:41Snakes.
11:41Correct.
11:42Correct.
11:43That would work to you.
11:53Terry?
11:56Correct.
12:01Kookaburra calls can be heard in a Tarzan movie as well as The Wizard of Oz, with a modified
12:05call believed to be used as a dolphin sound for the title character of which 60s TV show?
12:12Terry?
12:13Terry?
12:13Flipper.
12:14Correct!
12:18Dolphins don't have vocal chords, so they don't actually make a sound, so flipper would
12:22have never made that sound.
12:23So this is a kookaburra.
12:29And if you speed it up and pitch it up, you get flipper.
12:35That's not a dolphin.
12:38Can you do a dolphin, Terry?
12:39No.
12:42Last question in your set, Terry.
12:44Known as The Laughing Jackass or Great Brown Kingfisher, The Laughing Kookaburra's early
12:49morning call also led to the nickname, The Bushman's what?
12:53Who does feel it's Catherine?
12:55Alarm?
12:56Correct.
12:57Oh!
13:01Yeah, The Bushman's alarm clock.
13:03The snooze button is a shotgun.
13:06Alright, last set in The Expert Round, it's Max and American Psycho.
13:13Based on Bret Easton Ellis' violent satire about a yuppie serial killer, the film stars
13:19Christian Bale, whose performance was reportedly inspired by...
13:22Tom Cruise?
13:24Correct!
13:25By which Hollywood superstar, Tom Cruise is correct.
13:29You can see it, can't you?
13:31I think he describes it like there's a real intense friendliness but there's just nothing
13:35behind the eyes.
13:36Yeah, Mary Harron spilled this in an interview saying Bale thought Cruise, yeah, had nothing
13:41behind the eyes, yeah.
13:42Christian Bale read the interview and then he was like, oh well, I guess I'm not going
13:45to work with Tom Cruise.
13:47After coldly breaking up with Evelyn, played by Rhys Witherspoon, Patrick Bateman ends the
13:52conversation by saying...
13:54I have to return some videotapes?
13:56Correct!
13:58By saying I have to return some what?
14:01Videotapes is correct.
14:02Before killing his colleague Paul Allen with an axe, Bateman lectures him on the music
14:06of Huey Lewis and the News, saying the band's undisputed masterpiece is...
14:10Hip to be square!
14:12Correct!
14:13Switches on, hip to be square is correct.
14:16Paul Allen is played by Jared Leto, making the death completely fine.
14:22After seeing Patrick mutilate a woman in bed, the character Christy flees down a stairwell
14:27but is killed when Bateman drops WAP on her.
14:30Max?
14:30Trainsaw.
14:31Correct!
14:34Last question in your set, Max.
14:37Describing Bale's approach to performance, co-star Chloe Sevigny said,
14:42working with Christian was pretty hard because I didn't know this whole what thing.
14:47Who's doing it, sir?
14:48Method?
14:49Correct!
14:50Double points to your own!
14:55Alright, we've looked through their subjects now, let's look through mine.
14:58Tom's round.
15:00Tom's subject, multiple choice.

15:30The answer is C, Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles.
15:40Catherine, you'll love this.
15:41The singer of The Buggles' name is Trevor Horne.
15:47But you'll hate this, his middle name was The French.
15:52Leaving Hollywood after making his film debut as Charlie in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Peter Ostrom went on

17:19The answer is B, creating the video game Minecraft.
17:27Last question in my round is worth double points.
17:29Have a listen to this.
17:34You knew it was coming.

18:09Here's the original video.
18:16I mean you've got to admit I nailed it.
18:20Alright, at the end of my round, Catherine you're at the bottom on 20.
18:23Get over here.
18:32Alright, what do you reckon went wrong?
18:33Too many clams.
18:36That's a French horn term.
18:38Oh, it's a French horn term?
18:39Too many clams?
18:40Yeah, it means wrong notes.
18:41Oh, okay.
18:43What would you do differently if you had another shot at it?
18:45I think I needed to handle a serial killer dude differently.
18:52Maybe you could have bludgeoned him with your horn.
18:54Yeah, or just sedated him.
18:59You know what this means.
19:00Mm-hmm.
19:25It's people's wrap.
19:27The people's round against the clon.
19:30Wrap it up, play along at home.

20:12Yes.
20:12Which Billy Joel song names five US presidents?
20:16Max.

20:18Yes.
20:19Got there just in time.
20:20Time's up.
20:23Sass and Terry are both on 40 which means it's time for a bloody hard off.
20:28Hard off.
20:29That's right, only one of you will survive the last.
20:31Just one question.
20:32First of us it will answer.
20:33If you're right, you're staying.
20:34If you're wrong, you're dead to me.
20:35You ready?
20:35According to a 2024 article from language app Babbel, which language is harder to learn?
20:42Russian or Arabic?
20:45Sass.
20:46Russian.
20:48Incorrect.
20:49The correct answer is Arabic, which means you're dead to me, Sass.
20:52Get over here.
21:00So, Sass, your expedition fell short, so you failed, which means you did well according to your expert subject.
21:07Yeah, exactly.
21:08Yeah.
21:09Like the Franklin expedition, I was ill-prepared for the challenge ahead of me.
21:12Yeah.
21:13It ended in cannibalism.
21:14Yeah.
21:17You ready to go?
21:19Yeah.
21:19Okay.
21:19Out!
21:22There she goes.
21:24Into the tundra.
21:27All right.
21:27Only two left.
21:28Who's going to be the hard quiz champion?
21:30Terry and Max, get over here because it's time to play hard quiz.
21:33Final round.
21:35Head to head.
21:36American Psycho versus Kookaburras.
21:40Hard quiz.
21:41Now there can only be one hard quiz champion who gets to take home the limited
21:44edition big brass mug.
21:46What will you do with the mug if you win, Terry?
21:48Ah, my daughter at primary school, probably year one, had the teacher ask what was her
21:54favourite place.
21:55And that's Carlton Territory, which is my man's shed.
21:58It's going there.
21:59You could have just said man's shed.
22:04All right.
22:05What about you, Max?
22:06Because my sister was on the show and she didn't win, I'm going to give this to her
22:10as a present, just a reminder that I beat her at something.
22:16That's some cold shit.
22:18It's best of five penalty shootout style, harder questions on your expert subjects.
22:22So it's Terry's knowledge of Kookaburras versus Max's knowledge of American Psycho.
22:26Let's play.
22:28Hard!
22:31Terry.
22:32Life in Kookaburras have strong neck muscles and a long bony ridge along the back of their
22:38skulls, which are used together for what purpose?
22:42I believe it could have something to do with how they kill their prey and how maybe they
22:51digest it.
22:52So I would say killing their prey.
22:56Correct.
23:01Yeah, they bash their prey against the perch.
23:05That's how I used to headbang the Pearl Jam back in the day.
23:09Max.
23:10Guinevere Turner is credited twice in the film, once for playing Patrick Bateman's doomed friend
23:15Elizabeth, and for what other contribution?
23:19I'm not particularly sure, but I'll say she provided the likeness of her head for one
23:27of the, or the likeness of a decapitated head.
23:31Incorrect.
23:32But the correct answer is screenplay.
23:38Yeah, women can write as well.
23:47Terry.
23:49To defend territory, a Kookaburra will fly from its perch to a tree and back, passing
23:54another from its group doing the same thing, in a display with what name?
23:59It's obviously territorial, and I'm not real sure what the term would be.
24:08Uh, say buzzin'.
24:13Incorrect.
24:15It's worth a guess.
24:17Correct answer is trapeze.
24:19Yeah, or trapeze flight.
24:21Max.
24:22In a satirical scene early in the film, Bateman and his colleagues compare seemingly identical
24:28business cards.
24:29The second card displayed belongs to David Van Patten, and is described as being eggshell,
24:35with what type?
24:38Eggshell with Romalian?
24:42Correct.
24:46Terry.
24:48Researchers in 2014 identified a new species of parasite in the faeces of the Laughing Kookaburra.
24:54What part of the host's scientific name lends itself to the new parasite's name?
25:00First I've heard about parasites.
25:05Let's, uh, have a think.
25:07Um, maybe a tick?
25:12Tickius?
25:13Tickius.
25:16Tickius.
25:17Tickius.
25:21Tickius.
25:22Tickius.
25:24Tickius.
25:24Tickius.
25:26Tickius.
25:26Tickius.
25:28Tickius.
25:29Tickius.
25:32Tickius.
25:34Tickius.
25:34Tickius.
25:36Tickius.
25:39Tickius.
25:40Tickius.
25:40Tickius.
25:41Tickius.
25:42Tickius.
25:42Tickius.
25:42Tickius.
25:43Tickius.
25:43Before telling the audience there is no real me, only an entity,
25:47Patrick narrates his detailed morning routine.
25:49Between removing his ice pack and applying his aftershave lotion,
25:53put the rest of his routine in order.
25:58Talk us through your thinking.
26:00Pretty sure it goes water-activated gel cleanser first,
26:02and then it's honey almond body scrub.
26:08Is this your routine too?
26:10Look at me, Tom.
26:13I don't know, you could be 55.
26:16On which I'd say it's working.
26:22This is going to hurt.
26:23I'm going to put that Herb Mint facial mask as last,
26:25because that's what he peels off.
26:28I'm going to go with exfoliating gel scrub,
26:32because that seems right in my head.
26:35It's trying to remember the scene,
26:36but remembering that what's so-called Christian Bale looking like that
26:40is having a shower is very much distracting my mental processing right now.
26:45Water-activated gel honey body.
26:46I want to say it's that.
26:48I want to say water-activated gel cleanser,
26:49honey almond body scrub, exfoliating gel scrub,
26:52deep pore cleanser lotion and Herb Mint facial mask.
26:56Incorrect.
26:57Yeah, he starts with deep pore cleanser,
27:00and then water-activated gel cleanser,
27:03and then the honey almond body scrub.
27:07But you're right, he does finish with the facial mask,
27:10so you're right about that.
27:11That's also my morning routine too,
27:13if you replace all of that with soap.
27:17Marty!
27:21Terry.
27:22To assert dominance,
27:24two kookaburras from the same group might engage in sparring.
27:27What happens in the act of sparring?
27:30I do believe that they would use their large beak.
27:37I think they would sword fight with their beaks.
27:43Incorrect.
27:44The correct answer is the birds lock beaks
27:47and try to twist each other off the perch.
27:49You said they're sort of using like sword fights,
27:51we need to lock beaks together.
27:53They're actually locking beaks together.
27:57Max, before telling two sex workers
27:59that Susudio is a great, great song
28:02and a personal favourite,
28:04Bateman name-checks which two other Phil Collins solo songs?
28:09Um, I think it's...
28:11In the Air Tonight and...
28:14I don't think I'm going to get this one.
28:15I think it's In the Air Tonight and, um...
28:19I'll say, I'll say Brave.
28:23Incorrect.
28:24Correct answer is In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds.
28:28Terry, according to this book,
28:32laughing kookaburras were introduced to several British territories
28:35in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,
28:39including New Zealand and which other Pacific Island colony?
28:44Whether you consider New Guinea as an island...
28:50difficult to say, I will go with New Guinea.
28:55Incorrect.
28:56Correct answer is Fiji.
28:59Yeah, it didn't actually take, though,
29:00the Fijian kookaburras.
29:01They were gone after 25 years.
29:03They didn't survive.
29:04And as for New Guinea, kookaburras,
29:06they were already there.
29:08Max, if you get this right,
29:09you are tonight's hard quiz champion.
29:11Christian Bale's colleagues were struck
29:12by his apparent ability to sweat on command
29:15during the business card scene.
29:17But in 2022,
29:18Bale revealed that was an inadvertent side effect
29:22of him doing what?
29:25It's...
29:26It's not holding his breath, is it?
29:29Correct.
29:30Which means you are tonight's hard quiz champion!
29:33All right, Terry, you know this means.
29:36There he goes.
29:42So congratulations, Max,
29:44you are tonight's hard quiz champion,
29:45which means you had the big breath tonight.
29:47And we did good sign-off.
29:49Thanks for playing hard.
29:51He's an American and a psycho.
29:56Congratulations, psycho!
