00:34Gleeson. Yes! Hello! My undies are on backwards. Welcome to Hard Quiz. These contestants are
00:42chin whiskers. Last one to be plucked will be tonight's Hard Quiz champion. To be part
00:49of the show at home, go to the ABC TV iview socials. Let's say hello. G'day Charmaine.
00:54Hi Tom. Now your expert subject is Shrek. Yep. You seem pretty young. Were you even born
00:59when it first came out? I was born in 2001, which was the same year it was released, but
01:04I was born after it was released. Okay. So how'd you discover it? Basically, childhood movies
01:10and internet memes. Okay. Yeah. You discovered Shrek through memes. Yes. What does that even
01:16mean? Oh, basically. It's okay. I wouldn't expect you to understand because you're so odd.
01:25Are you just into green characters in general? No, I think it's just like how we kind of look
01:31alike. I'm kind of chubby and I'm kind of mean. And you know, I think that you're a bit like
01:36Lord Farquaad. Wait a minute. I'd be offended by that if I knew what it meant. Now you've
01:45set up your own Shrek shrine in your bedroom. Yes. Yes. Are you okay? I can't tell if this
01:54is joyous or a bit sad. I don't know. I'll leave it to you. Okay. Angelique. Hello. You're into
02:04Blythe dolls. Yeah. What are they? They are a 28 centimetre high doll with a big head.
02:13Oh. And they have four eye colour changes. I hadn't heard of them. No, not many people
02:18have. Oh good. I was worried that I was missing out on something really cool. No. As if this
02:27is an art quest. Exactly. Here's a couple of your dolls having a quiet rest. Yes. Yeah.
02:33After committing a murder. Look how cute they are Tom. Look how cute. Yeah, yeah. I feel
02:41like it's the last thing I'm going to see before I die. Do you dress these dolls yourself?
02:46Yes. I do sew for them. Yeah. But I have to say that embroidery is done by my 88 year
02:54old
02:54mother. Oh. She's very handy. Give her a shout out. Don't clap longevity. What do you think
03:02this is, Oprah? Noah. Tom. The kid Leroy is your subject. I hate most young people's music.
03:11Is he going to make me change my mind? I reckon so. Yeah? Yeah. Very little to work with
03:18here. You're thinking that. Wow. I was thinking just the same thing. Is he one of those pop
03:29stars who sings about all their serious relationships and breakups but still thinks chicken nuggets
03:33count as dinner? I'm just saying he's quite young isn't he? Yeah. Yeah. Very young. And yet
03:40he somehow has found a way to get over 3 billion streams in one song. Oh really? Yeah. Wow.
03:47And are most of those streams from you? How young is he? Give us an idea of his age.
03:52He's 21. Yeah. 21. Will you still be a fan when he's old man Leroy and he's doing gigs
03:57at wineries? I reckon I'll probably stick around to the end. Going down with the ship.
04:03Yeah. I mean that's why I'm here. Yeah.
04:11Now you're a footy umpire. That's right. What game are you looking after there? That was
04:16from last year my most recent grand final so. What level was it? Under 18s. Okay it was
04:21just under 18s. Yeah. So what's it like being here with the crown?
04:27That's bad.
04:28Uh touche. Angus. Hello.
04:35The Duke and Duchess of Windsor is your expert subject. Yeah. Why? Um because I was drunk
04:41during a lockdown and we were doing trivia over Zoom and someone suggested why don't I
04:46go on Hard Quiz. Yeah. So we went looked through all the topics and everything I wanted to do
04:51was taken so on the TV was I think it was a movie about them and I thought f*** it
04:56I'm
04:56going to do it.
04:59But is there a genuine interest there?
05:01Uh I've heard of them. Yeah. And uh.
05:04Stay tuned to watch Angus make a fool of himself.
05:07So we're talking about the former King Edward VIII who had to abdicate the throne.
05:11Yeah for love.
05:13Okay. And uh are you a fan of him and his world views?
05:16Uh no. No definitely not. Definitely not.
05:19You sure? Positive. Okay. I'm from Bondi so.
05:23And you want to be able to return. Exactly.
05:26Would you give up the throne for someone you love?
05:28No. God no.
05:29All that power. Why would you give that up?
05:31Would you give up power? Well.
05:33Don't have to.
05:39Now you've been to Antarctica. I have.
05:41How did that come about?
05:42Uh my dad always wanted to go so him and I were drunk at lunch one day and decided let's
05:47just book it.
05:51That's a great photo that you got. You went to get a photo with all that beautiful ice in the
05:54background and then those penguins.
05:55Yeah and those penguins got in the way. I mean there's yeah.
05:57There's a beautiful iceberg right in the background but you know sort of.
06:00Now you jumped into below freezing water half naked.
06:04Yes. Yeah.
06:05Yeah. It doesn't look like you enjoyed it.
06:08No I did. Yeah. I did it twice.
06:10Oh really?
06:11I was pretty drunk. I have to admit.
06:12I had quite a few drinks while doing that.
06:15And then I got off and they gave me more drinks and I thought stuff it in and I ran
06:18back in and jumped back in.
06:19Why'd you jump in twice? Was it because one nut retracted and you wanted to get the other one up?
06:23Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much. Yeah. I wanted even trinkage. Even trinkage.
06:26I wanted the landing gear to come up on both sides.
06:30Let's play.
06:32Expert round. Expert subjects. Win or lose five points. Steal and answer double points.
06:39I'll ask each of you five questions on your expert subject. Right you get five points. Wrong I will take
06:43five points from you.
06:44The rest of you can steal at any time to get double points.
06:47Let's start with Angus and his expert subject. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
06:55After abdicating in 1936, the former King Edward VIII married American Wallace Simpson one month after she had completed what
07:03legal process?

07:17Angus.
07:18Beige.
07:19Incorrect. It's wide open. Charmaine for the steal.
07:22Blue.
07:23Blue.
07:23Correct.
07:26Yeah blue or midnight blue in particular.
07:30He was a big fan of midnight blue. It allowed more details to be seen in photos and looked blacker
07:35than black in artificial light.
07:38In October 1937, the Duke and Duchess went on a tour of Germany to study housing and met which dictator?
07:45For the steals Charmaine.

08:12Last question in your set Angus.
08:13Yes.
08:14The couple lived as socialites after the war, both writing memoirs, with Wallace naming hers The What Has Its Reasons.
08:26Time's up.
08:27Heart.
08:27Heart.
08:28Yeah, The Heart Has Its Reasons.
08:30Wallace went on to have a four year affair with millionaire Jimmy Donoghue.
08:34So I guess the groin has its reasons too.
08:38Alright, next set of questions is for Noah on The Kid Leroy.
08:45Born Charlton Howard, The Kid Leroy lived in Sydney Public Housing before signing a record deal at the age of
08:5115 and moving to which US city?

10:14ingredient removed?
10:15Noah.

10:20The rappers of today, it's all thug life until somebody brings out the vegetables.
10:26And then it's like, oh no pickles please.
10:30Last question in your set Noah.
10:33During a Melbourne concert, the Wiggles joined Leroy on stage to sing Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car, Hot
10:38Potato and which other food based song?
10:41Charmaine for the Steel.

11:43the doll was actually inspired by which 1930s cartoon character?
11:47Angelique.

11:49Correct.
11:56The dolls were brought back for a limited run in Japan in 2001, featuring a Blythe head but using the
12:05body of another doll, which allowed them to bend what body part for the first time?
12:10Angelique.
12:11The arms and legs?
12:14Incorrect.
12:15Oh my God.
12:24Time's up.
12:25Arms.
12:26Yeah, it's not arms and legs, it's only the arms.
12:29Yes.
12:30Do you have the bendy arm Blythe dolly?
12:31Yes.
12:33I do.

13:05Correct.
13:11All right, last in the expert round, it's Charmaine and Shrek.
13:18I feel like you should take your hands off the buzzer for this round just to let everyone have a
13:23bit of chicken, you know what I mean?
13:24I'm good, thanks.
13:27We don't even have to do your round.

13:40Incorrect.
13:40I'll finish the question.
13:41Mike Myers asked to re-record his lines with what other accent?
13:45For the Steelers, Noah.
13:46Scottish.
13:48Correct.
13:48That is right, Steelers.
13:53You know, that's called Noah.
13:55Revenge.
13:57Revenge.
13:59Yeah, Shrek was first voiced by Chris Farley, but he died before he could finish recording it, so Myers replaced
14:05Farley and then replaced himself.
14:07After Shrek and Donkey rescue Princess Fiona from her dragon-guarded tower, it's revealed she is cursed to transform into
14:14what creature at night?
14:15No one for the Steel.

15:20What the f*** do I work for DreamWorks?
15:24Alright, we've flown through their subjects, now let's fly through mine.
15:27Tom's round.
15:28Tom's subject, multiple choice.
15:31This week I've been really getting into X-rays.
15:35I love X-rays, they show me just how bloody HOT I am.
15:40The round is multiple choice, select your answers on your screens then press the buzzer to lock in the answer.
15:45In 1895, German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen discovered a new form of radiation that he named X-rays, with the X

16:35The answer is A, Vincent van Gogh.
16:45It's a surprise Vinny.

17:30The answer is D, Shoe Shop.

18:16Get over here.
18:26What happened?
18:27Too much playing with the dolls, Tom.
18:29Not enough studying of the dolls.
18:31Yeah.
18:32Too many young people on here knowing too much stuff.
18:35Yeah.
18:36But I don't know.
18:37It's alright.
18:37Well you can go backstage now and reconvene with your creepy dolls and go to sleep and they
18:43can murder you tonight.
18:46Cobs will.
18:47Alright.
18:48Out.
18:54There she goes.

19:53All right, at the end of the people's round, Angus through the bottom 135.
19:57Get over here.
20:05So, Angus, it seems that you cynically studied the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to get on Hard
20:10Quiz and then forgot to study the rest of the world.
20:13The rest of the world.
20:14Yeah.
20:15I mean, I'm surprised I got this far, so.
20:18All right, we'll go and have an ice bath, mate.
20:20Out!
20:21Yeah!
20:22There he goes.
20:28Only two left.
20:29Who's going to be the Hard Quiz champion?
20:31Charmaine and Noah, get over here because it's time to play Hard Quiz.
21:02Final round.
21:04Harder questions on your expert subjects.
21:06So, it's Noah's knowledge of the Kid Leroy versus Charmaine's knowledge of Shrek.
21:10Let's play.
21:11Hard!
21:16And if you've just tuned in, welcome back to Hard Quiz Kids.
21:20LAUGHTER
21:25Noah, have a look at this quote from the Kid Leroy discussing his rider.
21:30On the list of things I need everywhere, one of them is a blank.
21:35So, that was a highlight of my day, just jumping in the blank.
21:39I had my little brother come past the chute, we were all fighting in the blank.
21:43It was pretty fun.
21:45Um...
21:46What thing is he talking about?
21:49Ah...
21:50There's not really much I can really think of.
21:52My zoological answer would probably be pull, but Shrek would probably be too predictable.
21:56I feel like he'd want to do something big, so I'll just shoot my shot and just say,
22:01ball pit.
22:03Yeah.
22:04Correct.
22:11Yeah, he's mad for ball pits.
22:13Here he is floating around in one with Justin Bieber.
22:17That's what happens when musicians aren't allowed to be proud about drug use.
22:23Charmaine, featured in the first film is a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah by which
22:30artist?
22:32Okay.
22:33I've listened to this one 100 times already.
22:40Um...
22:40It's on the soundtrack.
22:41Oh, I know.
22:41That's a different version.
22:43Sorry.
22:44Um...
22:45I'm just going to say Rupert Holmes.
22:48Incorrect.
22:49The correct answer is John Cale.
22:54But yeah, you're right.
22:55There's two different versions.
22:56Yeah, it's John Cale from the Velvet Underground.
22:58The official soundtrack album features Rufus Wainwright's version with no explanation.
23:03Yeah.
23:04Noah.
23:05The video for Thousand Miles sees a Leroy in red trying to kill another Leroy in white.
23:12What method does red Leroy use to hurt white Leroy immediately after running him over with
23:18a road roller?
23:21Oh, I do remember this.
23:22I remember he...
23:24White Leroy was in his car and the red Leroy, Leroy, hit him with a train.
23:30Correct.
23:34Charmaine.
23:36Based on the first film, Shrek the Musical opened on Broadway in 2008.
23:41Revealing Lord Farquaad's father to be which of the Seven Dwarfs?
23:48Um...
23:49Well, I haven't actually watched the musical.
23:51But, um, given his, um, grumpy nature, I'm just gonna say grumpy.
23:58Correct.
24:02Noah.
24:03Leroy has a tattoo from fellow artist Post Malone of a stick man wearing clogs and a
24:09cowboy hat.
24:10What tattoo did Leroy give Malone in return?
24:14I remember seeing him, like, repost his shit about when he did the tattoo.
24:20I could be wrong.
24:22I think he said, basically he said he had to take a shit.
24:27Correct.
24:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
24:33Charmaine.
24:35In the mid-credits scene for Shrek 2, Donkey finds out he has become a father of six donkey
24:41dragons.
24:42What is his final line after saying,
24:44Look at our little mutant babies?
24:48I've got to get a job.
24:50Correct.
24:55Noah.
24:57Leroy's song, F*** You Goodbye, featuring Machine Gun Kelly, includes a sample from which
25:02band?
25:04Uh, I wouldn't have a single clue.
25:07I'm just gonna say someone who probably would do that sort of riff, and I'm just gonna draw
25:12out and say Blink-182.
25:15Correct.
25:23Do you have x-ray vision?
25:25LAUGHTER
25:26All right, Charmaine, you need this to say in.
25:27If you get this wrong, then Noah, you are tonight's hard-quiz champion.
25:30Charmaine.
25:31When Donkey and Shrek are looking up at the stars in the first film, what is the second
25:35ogre-based constellation that Shrek points out?
25:40Okay, so I know they're talking about some two different ogres.
25:44I think the first one is blood nut.
25:47It could be over three wheat fields.
25:52And I'm not really sure what the second one is, but I'm just gonna say blood nut.
25:59More information?
26:00Blood nut the flatulent.
26:02Correct.
