00:36Hello!
00:37Foreign vibes.
00:39Welcome to Hard Quiz, these contestants are B-Boys and B-Girls, last one to breakdance
00:44will be tonight's Hard Quiz Champion.
00:48To be part of the show at home, go to the ABC TV iview socials, let's say hello.
00:52G'day Paul.
00:54Hello Tom.
00:54Your expert subject is The Simpsons.
00:57It is.
00:57What is it?
00:58It's an animated sitcom.
01:00Okay.
01:00I don't want to give too much away.
01:01Oh okay.
01:02Well I just thought you should describe it because you can't assume anything about this
01:05audience.
01:06You know, it's the ABC, like when you were watching The Simpsons, they were watching a
01:09sitcom with Judi Dench in it.
01:11Right, I see, I see.
01:12It's a half hour sitcom that started in the US and has been running for 34 years I'm going
01:18to say.
01:19That was the answer to the first question.
01:20Damn!
01:22Now you work in animation.
01:24Yes.
01:24Have you made anything that anybody cares about?
01:28Probably not.
01:29Well what have you worked on?
01:30Anything that we might have heard of?
01:31Yeah, maybe.
01:32I don't know.
01:33If you're into Australian adult animated comedies.
01:35Oh, Bluey!
01:36Oh, well, no.
01:38I can't be-
01:39Did you work on Bluey?
01:40No.
01:40I worked with people who did work on Bluey.
01:51Now you're Scottish, but you live in Tasmania.
01:53I do.
01:54Is that because the shithouse climate there resembles where you came from?
01:58Well actually, by comparison it's a tropical paradise, so you know, the mainland just about
02:04kills me, so Tasmania's good for me.
02:06On a scale of one to groundskeeper Willie, how Scottish are you?
02:09Um, greech me up woman is what I say to that.
02:17Jean!
02:18Hello.
02:19Now you're into British singer Amy Winehouse.
02:21Yes.
02:23And you're one of the top listeners worldwide on Spotify.
02:26That was back when I had Spotify.
02:29Oh.
02:30Do you not have Spotify anymore?
02:31Recent events have made me not have an account on any social media, including Spotify.
02:37Oh, recent events.
02:38What happened?
02:39It sounds like some controversy.
02:41Capitalism.
02:42Oh.
02:43So can you explain what Spotify is to our audience?
02:46Because they're used to getting out 78s and putting them on a hand-cranked gramophone.
02:52Um, so it's an app where you could stream music from musicians all over the world.
03:00But you've decided to not do that?
03:02Yeah, um, maybe just buy tapes and CDs.
03:07You buy tapes?
03:08Well, why not?
03:09You just buy cassettes.
03:09Where are you buying cassettes from?
03:11I live in Melbourne, so...
03:14Now you've got a PhD in cyber security.
03:17I do.
03:17So do you know who sends me those texts saying that I've got a parcel waiting?
03:22It's probably someone from my home country.
03:25Yeah.
03:31There's no need to be racist.
03:34Andrew.
03:35Tom.
03:35Now your expert subject is cocktails.
03:37It is.
03:37I'm gathering that's because you're a bar owner?
03:40Yeah.
03:41Yeah?
03:41Comes with the territory, yeah.
03:43And so do you like making cocktails because it slows down the service?
03:46Well, yeah.
03:47It slows down the service and keeps the till ticking over.
03:49Yeah, it's the best when you just want a beer and some f**kwit in front of you orders
03:53a cocktail.
03:54I just love it.
03:56And you're just there taking ages.
03:58Yeah.
03:58Yeah.
03:59So you know about the recipes, I'm guessing, the origins and the history of cocktails?
04:02Yeah, mostly.
04:03Even though most of the history of cocktails has been written by piss heads?
04:06Yeah.
04:07It's pretty variable, the history, isn't it?
04:09It is.
04:09Who invented this?
04:10Who was there?
04:12Lots of different theories.
04:13Yes.
04:13Could be anyone.
04:13What kind of cocktails are you into?
04:15All of them.
04:16We have an array of cocktails that we serve, that we make and I have the odd one myself.
04:23What's your favourite one?
04:25Probably something more classic, like an old fashioned.
04:27Now you made a cocktail in honour of me.
04:29I did, Tom.
04:30What's it called?
04:31The fire crotch.
04:32Oh.
04:36I know there's not much up top, Tom, but I'm sure there's some fire down below.
04:42It's like groundskeeper Willie down there, mate.
04:46Paula.
04:47Tom.
04:47Are you into John McEnroe, the tennis player, or John McEnroe, the cameo actor?
04:51Because you've done a lot of cameos.
04:53John McEnroe, the cameo actor.
04:55I've made it very clear, do not ask me questions about tennis.
04:58Oh.
04:59That's right.
05:00That's right.
05:01So you're a massive fan of John McEnroe.
05:03Mm-hmm.
05:04But you're not interested in his tennis playing.
05:06It's entertaining, but for me he's more of a cultural icon than a sporting figure.
05:11Yeah.
05:14Are you sure?
05:15Like, he did play a lot of tennis.
05:16Yeah, and he was really good at it, but he's really good at all the other things that
05:19he does as well.
05:20Yeah, I suspect none of that would have happened without the tennis.
05:22Yes.
05:24Now here's your collection of John McEnroe press cuttings.
05:27Are you going to tell me this started out as an innocent obsession?
05:30Because that's also what a serial killer would say.
05:34The weird thing is that I started collecting that 44 years ago and I've still got every
05:38single piece of paper I ever cut out of a paper in 1980.
05:41It is weird, because you say it's weird.
05:43I mean, you do just put it in the recycling bin.
05:45It's quite easy.
05:47That would be a betrayal.
05:49All those articles, they'd all be online.
05:51They'd all be PDFs.
05:52You just get it all, just chuck it in the bin, go online.
05:54All those articles would be there.
05:58They don't smell the same.
06:02Alright, let's play.
06:03Hard!
06:05Expert round.
06:06Expert subject.
06:07Win or lose five points.
06:09Steal and answer double points.
06:12I like to each of you five questions on your expert subject.
06:14Right, you get five points.
06:16Wrong, I will take five points from you.
06:17The rest of you can steal at any time to get double points.
06:20Let's start with Paula and her expert subject, John McEnroe.
06:25Have you met him?
06:28I've encountered him.
06:29I don't say that we've...
06:31We've been introduced.
06:32I tapped him on the shoulder once and he hurled abuse at me.
06:36Oh.
06:37Kind of fitting for John McEnroe, but no, not formally.
06:42So you just tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around and abused you?
06:44He was in the middle of a tennis match and they were changing ends
06:47and he'd sat down.
06:49Well, you know how they sit down in their little chair
06:51when they're changing ends and have a little bit of a drink.
06:54Right.
06:54So I...
06:55You were courtside?
06:56I was courtside.
06:56So you just walked onto the court?
06:58Yeah, it was Memorial Drive.
07:00It's really easy just to...
07:02Excuse me.
07:02Okay, and you just tapped him on the shoulder in the middle of a game.
07:05And did you say to him,
07:06I'm not really interested in your tennis playing.
07:10I just like more stuff about your personal life.
07:12Mm-hmm.
07:13And he's like, what the ****?
07:14Yeah.
07:15Well, he was between marriages at the time as well, so...
07:19Oh.
07:20Did you point that out to him?
07:22I didn't have time.
07:23You didn't have time?
07:26Todd Woodbridge had to kind of come and get me to sit down again
07:30and behave myself.
07:31Todd hasn't recovered.
07:32Now he's hosting a **** game show.
07:35John McEnroe became known for angry outbursts on the court
07:39after a 1981 Wimbledon match where he yelled,
07:42You cannot be what?
07:43Paula.
07:43Serious.
07:44Correct.
07:48Yeah, he's the only male player since the introduction of computer
07:51rankings to simultaneously be number one in singles and doubles.
07:54At least six women have also done that,
07:56but they're better at multitasking.
07:58LAUGHTER
08:00McEnroe's frequent tennis tantrums, including smashing his rackets,
08:04led British tabloid newspapers to give him what nickname?
08:07Paula.
08:07Superbrat.
08:08Correct.
08:11We got those articles from your wall.
08:15John McEnroe has made multiple cameos in films and television shows,
08:19including playing himself in which Larry David sitcom?
08:22Paula.
08:23Curb Your Enthusiasm.
08:24Correct.
08:27APPLAUSE
08:28He's done a lot of cameos, hasn't he?
08:30He has.
08:31Have you watched all his cameos?
08:32In the last few weeks I have.
08:34OK.
08:35You've watched all of them?
08:36Uh, no, I couldn't bring myself to watch...
08:39OK.
08:39..Mr Deeds or Jack and Jill, the Adam Sandler movies.
08:42I just couldn't go there.
08:44OK.
08:44Because you've got standards.
08:45Did you accidentally watch any tennis while you were doing research?
08:48LAUGHTER
08:49God forbid.
08:50McEnroe plays guitar in a group named for his rock star wife, Patti,
08:54as the Johnny what band?
08:56Smythe band.
08:57Correct.
08:58APPLAUSE
09:01Yeah, his wife's name is Patti Smythe, not Patti Smith.
09:05No.
09:05Patti Smythe.
09:06She had a top 10 hit in the 80s with a band called Scandal.
09:10Last question you knew I was set, Paula.
09:12In 1990, McEnroe became the first tennis player to be ejected from a Grand Slam in 27 years,
09:18after he was defaulted from which tournament?
09:20Andrew for the steal.
09:22Wimbledon.
09:23Incorrect.
09:24It's wide open.
09:26Paula.
09:26US Open.
09:28Incorrect.
09:29Jean for the steal.
09:30Melbourne Open.
09:32Incorrect.
09:32It's wide open.
09:34Paul for the steal.
09:35Australian Open.
09:36Correct.
09:36Double points to you.
09:41Apparently he was unaware that he was on his last penalty,
09:44when he said to the tournament supervisor,
09:46go f*** your mother.
09:50How could you not like his tennis playing when he does that kind of stuff?
09:54Man, I'm surprised he wasn't given a key to the city.
09:57Alright, next set of questions is for Andrew on cocktails.
10:04Cocktails often contain a mix of spirits measured out by bartenders
10:08in a small hourglass-shaped cup most commonly known by what name?
10:11Andrew.
10:12Chigger.
10:13Correct.
10:16Originally created as a stomach tonic and now used as a common cocktail ingredient,
10:21is which brand of herbal bitters named after a Venezuelan?
10:25Andrew.
10:26Angostura.
10:27Correct.
10:28After a Venezuelan town, Angostura is correct.
10:32In a 2022 viral video, actor Emma Darcy said their drink of choice is a Negroni...
10:39Gene for the steal.
10:40With the Spagliato.
10:42Incorrect.
10:43I'll finish the question.
10:44Is a Negroni Spagliato with what ingredient in it?
10:48For the steal, it's Paul.
10:48Prosecco.
10:50Correct.
10:51Double marks for you.
10:55Andrew, do you put Prosecco in your Negroni Spagliato?
10:58We do.
10:59If someone asks for a Spagliato, they get Prosecco.
11:02It just sounds like a Negroni that's been wrecked.
11:04Yeah.
11:04Like you're holding a Negroni and someone went,
11:06oh, spilled a Prosecco in it and you're like, oh.
11:08That's how it was originated.
11:09It was a mistake.
11:10The word Spagliato means mistake.
11:13Accidentally learnt something then.
11:15I don't know how I feel.
11:18Described by Difford's Guide as a vodka and Red Bull for the discerning,
11:22is which cocktail often garnished with three coffee beans?
11:25Andrew.
11:26Espresso martini.
11:28Correct.
11:31Yeah, the three beans represent health, wealth and happiness.
11:35Last question in your set, Andrew.
11:37Finding new popularity in the 2000s and taking inspiration
11:41from the prohibition of the 1920s is what kind of hidden cocktail bar?
11:46Andrew.
11:47Speakeasy.
11:48Correct.
11:51Time now for Jean and Amy Winehouse.
11:57One of Amy Winehouse's biggest hits came about after she told
12:01producer Mark Ronson that she was once asked to go to rehab and said what?
12:06To this deal with Andrew.
12:08No, no, no.
12:09Correct.
12:12That report's here.
12:14Anyway, that's the problem with being popular.
12:15You get offered free drugs all the time.
12:17You know what I mean?
12:18That's why Guy Sebastian is still with us.
12:26At the age of 10, Amy formed the rap duo Sweet and S...
12:29Jean.
12:30With Juliette Ashby.
12:32Incorrect.
12:32I'll finish the question.
12:34Duo Sweet and Sour, inspired by what platinum selling hip hop group?
12:38It's wide open.
12:40For this deal it's Paula.
12:42Salt and pepper.
12:43Correct.
12:43Double points to you.
12:47When Amy's violent drug addicted husband was in prison, she sang Free Blakey my fella

13:00Correct.
13:00Double points to you.
13:03Have a listen.
13:06The third single from Amy's Grammy winning second album was the title track Back To What?
13:12Jean.
13:13Black.
13:14Correct.
13:16Yeah, Back To Blake won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album.
13:19Amy won five Grammys that night including Best New Artist beating Taylor Swift.
13:25Who went on to obscurity.
13:28Last question in your set, Jean.
13:30Amy was signed by the management company behind the Spice Girls
13:33and when Jonathan Ross asked if they had moulded her image, she joked about being made into
13:39what basic?
13:40Jean.
13:40Triangle.
13:41Correct.
13:42What basic polygon?
13:45Triangle is correct.
13:47Last set in the expert round is Paul and The Simpsons.
13:53The Simpsons family were created by Matt Groening who named most of them after his own family
13:58and chose the name Bart as an anagram of what?
14:04It's wide open.
14:05Anagram of what?
14:07Paul.
14:08Brat.
14:09Correct.
14:15We just learnt how long it takes four adults to rearrange a four-letter word.
14:23So you're into the super brat, Paula?
14:25I know.
14:26And I just explained to somebody today that brat is actually Russian for brother.
14:30Oh.
14:31Okay.
14:32That's irrelevant, but cool.
14:36During the opening credits of many later episodes of The Simpsons, the cost of Marge's
14:40groceries doubles when the cashier scans what?
14:43Maggie.
14:45Correct.
14:46Double points to you.
14:50Later stolen by bartender Moe who names it after himself, Homer invents a cocktail that accidentally...
14:56Paul.
14:56The Flamin' Hormo.
14:58Incorrect.
14:59I'll finish the question.
15:00That accidentally catches fire and contains what medication?
15:03Andrew for the steel.
15:04Oh, I was going to say Flamin' Moe.
15:06Incorrect.
15:07Wide open, Paula for the steel.
15:09Cough mixture.
15:10Correct.
15:11Double points to you.

15:31Correct.
15:32Double points to you.
15:36Here's Bill Shorten thinking he's hilarious.
15:38These people opposite are the cheese eating surrender monkeys of Australian jobs to borrow from an American politician.
15:46And that's when he didn't become PM.
15:50Alright, last question in your set, Paul.
15:52When writing for The Simpsons, Conan O'Brien was inspired by a billboard about public transport
15:57to create an episode called Marge vs. Paul.
16:00Marge vs. The Monodale.
16:01Correct.

20:15What would you do differently if you had another shot at this?

20:23Excuses?
20:24Yeah.
20:25Sympathy people.
20:26I try to get sympathy for being a new dad.
20:27Everyone knows that mums do all the work.
20:29That's true.
20:31That's the way I did it.
20:33Outro!
20:34There we go.
20:40All right, only two left.
20:42Who's going to be the Hard Quiz champion?
20:43Paula and Andrew, get over here because it's time to play Hard Quiz.
20:47Final round.
20:48Head to head.
20:49John McEnroe versus Cocktails.
20:52Hard Quiz.
20:54Now, there can only be one Hard Quiz champion who gets to take home the limited edition Big
20:58Brass mug.
20:59What will you do with the mug if you win, Paula?
21:00I'm starting to cultivate carnivorous plants.
21:04So, I thought it would make a great receptacle for plants that thrive on the destruction of
21:08others.
21:09It'll remind me of my time with you.
21:12All right.
21:13Andrew, what about you?
21:14It's got to be a giant tiki style cocktail with 12 straws popping out of it.
21:20It's best of five penalty shootout style, harder questions on your expert subjects.
21:23So, it's Paula's knowledge of John McEnroe versus Andrew's knowledge of cocktails.
21:28Let's play.
21:29Hard!
21:32Are you ready to not talk about tennis again?
21:35Absolutely.
21:35Did you notice the only question I got wrong in my expert round was the one about tennis?
21:39Yes.
21:40I did notice and I decided not to mention it because it was just a bit too weird.
21:46Paula.
21:47John McEnroe had a long-standing rivalry with Swedish player Bjorn Borg.
21:52The first time he saw Borg in person, McEnroe was working in what job?
21:57He was a ball boy.
22:00Correct.
22:04Andrew.
22:06Tom.
22:06The Manhattan, a classic whiskey cocktail, can be made in sweet, dry or perfect variations
22:13by altering which ingredient?
22:17Which ingredient?
22:18It's three basic ingredients.
22:20That would be the vermis component.
22:22Correct.
22:25Paula.
22:26Paula.
22:27In the film, Mr Deeds.
22:29Oh.
22:32Yes, Tom?
22:33McEnroe has a cameo where he gets drunk with Adam Sandler's character and they throw what
22:39items at passing cars?
22:41I know this.
22:43I do believe it's hacky sacks.
22:47Close.
22:48That's incorrect.
22:49The correct answer is eggs.
22:52Oh.
22:55It wasn't close.
22:57Do you know what?
22:58It was worth not watching the film to get it wrong.
23:00He also shot a scene for the Adam Sandler movie Anger Management, but most of it was
23:04cut out.
23:06Marty, fetch the drinks cart.
23:17Andrew, in these shakers are my four usual pre-show cocktails.
23:24I see.
23:25Prepared according to Diffid's Guide to Cocktails.
23:28Complete the process by pouring them into the correct glass and adding the appropriate
23:34garnish.
23:35Wow.
23:36Okay.
23:36Let's do this.
23:37Talk us through what you're doing as well.
23:39Okay.
23:39We'll start with the dirty martini, which is an abomination of the original martini, but
23:45that's a matter of fact.
23:46I'm with you, buddy.
23:46And we're going into the classic triangular martini glass.
23:49So there it is there.
23:54We will then place an olive and pop that there.
24:00Okay.
24:00That's a start.
24:01All right.
24:02So there's our dirty martini.
24:03Yep.
24:04The pina colada, big, fruity, tropical, goes into an equally big and fruity tropical glass.
24:10There it is.
24:12Oh, my goodness.
24:14Interesting colour.
24:19Marty, you've been told.
24:20Not sure how long that's been sitting there, but that's okay.
24:25You know what?
24:25Marty might have pissed in it.
24:27You might.
24:29There's the pineapple garnish to match the flavour of the drink.
24:33Penicillin, a modern classic, only a few years old and an excellent drink.
24:38And that will go into our old fashioned glass on the rocks.
24:44There it is.
24:45The colour's good.
24:47Looks like a real one.
24:48And I will spike a little piece of ginger and pop that in there as well as the garnish
24:56to enhance the ginger flavour of the drink.
24:59The brandy cruster has a sugar coating.
25:05We'll twirl that around.
25:07Crust the glass.
25:09Shake off the excess.
25:12And grab the brandy cruster.
25:15I hope I'm right because it would look silly if I wasn't.
25:20Marty's flow looks like that too.
25:27And I think that might be where we're at.
25:34Correct.
25:37Marty.
25:45Paula.
25:46Here's John McEnroe in 1985.
25:49At a certain point there's a breaking point.
25:52And that's just what's happened a little bit I think.
25:54It's just gotten too much and you just shy away from it a little bit because it's not worth it.
25:59It's not worth it.
26:00It really isn't.
26:02He held a press conference over an incident at a Melbourne hotel when he pushed a reporter over a sofa.
26:08What did the reporter claim had infuriated McEnroe?
26:12Not part of my research, that one.
26:15Um, I suspect it has something to do with a girl.
26:21The reporter was chatting up John McEnroe's current model girlfriend perhaps.
26:27Incorrect.
26:28The correct answer is McEnroe objected to being photographed with or asked about his relationship with actor Tatum O'Neill.
26:35Yeah, he showed him who's boss, did he?
26:38Pushing him into a comfortable lounge.
26:40Yeah.
26:42Andrew.
26:44Bartender Jerry Thomas wrote the first bartending book to be published in the United States and is best known for
26:50what theatrical signature drink?
26:53Very flashy bartender.
26:55Um, and he liked to play around with all sorts of things beyond the bar, get some attention as some
27:00of us do.
27:01Um, his signature drink where he has the two containers going back and forth with the flame is the blue
27:10blazer.
27:11Correct.
27:14Yeah, the drink is just scotch water and sugar but you set the scotch on fire and toss it between
27:19the two tankards creating a big blue flame.
27:22Correct.
27:22So it looks showy but it's actually not much of a drink.
27:24Not much of a drink.
27:25Because you burn off all the good stuff.
27:26That's awful.
27:27Yeah.
27:27So it's just sugary water by the end of it.
27:29You go, wow, that was amazing.
27:31It's a bit like Tipping Point.
27:33You're like, oh this is going to be fun and then...
27:36What was that?
27:38Alright Paula, you need this.
27:39If you get this wrong, then Andrew you are tonight's hard quiz champion.
27:43Paula.
27:44A fraudulent art dealer scammed McEnroe by persuading him to invest millions of dollars in a share of which paintings
27:50by artist Arsheel Gorky?
27:57Just to be clear, this has got nothing to do with tanks.
28:00I know.
28:02I've actually been to John McEnroe's gallery in New York so I know that he's a serious art collector and
28:09dealer.
28:09Okay.
28:14I've no idea I'm going to say...
28:19Mount Fuji.
28:26Incorrect.
28:26Really?
28:27The correct answer is the pirate one and the pirate two.
28:30Which means, Andrew, you are tonight's hard quiz champion!
28:33Alright Paula, you know what this means?
28:36Help!
28:36Help!
28:39There she goes.
28:43Congratulations Andrew, you are tonight's hard quiz champion!
28:46Which means you get the big brass mug and you get to do the side off.
28:50Thanks for playing hard.
28:53Yes!
28:54I'll have a classic martini please.
28:57Cheers.
28:57One olive.
28:59Dry.
