00:35Here's your host, Tom Gleeser.
00:38Yes!
00:39Hello!
00:41Marco!
00:42Hello!
00:43Welcome to hard quiz.
00:44These contestants are pigs.
00:46Last one to squeal will be tonight's hard quiz champion.
00:51To be part of the show at home, go to the ABC TV iview socials.
00:55Let's say hello.
00:56G'day, Mike.
00:56Hello, Tom.
00:57Now, you repair and restore vintage sewing machines.
01:01Yes.
01:02Why?
01:03Beautiful pieces of engineering that deserve respect and to be used until their owners and
01:12their owners' children are all dead.
01:15Okay.
01:20Well, if you're looking for respect, I feel like you've come to the wrong place.
01:24Now, you collect sewing machines.
01:26How many in your collection?
01:28I stopped counting at about 150.
01:33Oh, right.
01:33When does it stop being a collection and become a condition?
01:37When you can't actually walk across the laundry room without tripping over one.
01:41Okay.
01:42Here are a few more of yours.
01:44What are we looking at there?
01:461870s, singer, mother of pearl, model 12.
01:49Oh.
01:50Whoever made that, they're probably still watching the ABC.
01:54I think the owner is probably deceased.
02:00Original owner.
02:01Did I just make a joke and you untangled it into a fact?
02:06Julie.
02:06Yes, Tom.
02:07Now, your expert subject is the B-52s.
02:30Yes, yes.
02:31Dancing with your friends and going to parties.
02:34Right up my alley, Tom.
02:35Yeah.
02:36So, I've been to Vegas twice to see them.
02:38Because I went to their farewell tour.
02:40There I am with my lovely wife, Emma.
02:41Now, you won a medal at the Gay Games.
02:43I did, yes.
02:44After nine attempts.
02:46Right.
02:50Attempts at what?
02:52Nine games.
02:52They're every four years.
02:53I've been going since 1994.
02:55And I finally won a medal after all these years.
02:57No, no, no.
02:57But I mean, like, what event?
02:58I didn't think it was just for being gay.
03:00No.
03:01I would have won a medal for that years ago, Tom.
03:03You tried to be gay nine times.
03:05Didn't work out.
03:06You finally nailed it on the last go.
03:07Many more times than that.
03:08No.
03:09What event?
03:10No, golf, Tom.
03:11Golf?
03:11Yep.
03:11Okay.
03:12And you've got a margarita there.
03:13Yeah, no, it's 11 in the morning and I just won a medal.
03:15So, you know, what the hell.
03:17It was Mexico.
03:18It was in Mexico.
03:19Alex.
03:19Hi, Tom.
03:20What got you interested in killer whales?
03:22The killing?
03:24No, I don't have a murderous streak, Tom.
03:26But at school, all the other girls were into dolphins.
03:29And I wanted to choose something a little bit different.
03:31Kind of related, but not exactly the same.
03:33So I went with killer whales.
03:35So just before we get into it, so is it killer whales or orcas?
03:38What's more correct?
03:39I don't want to give too much away.
03:41We're running with killer whales because it sounds cool.
03:43That's right.
03:43It does sound cool.
03:44But you can call them orcas as well?
03:45You can do either.
03:46Yes.
03:46It's either.
03:47Yeah.
03:49Okay.
03:55Now, a lot of your family holidays involve going to see killer whales.
03:58Yes.
03:58Was anyone else in the family interested in them?
04:01I think my parents started to get a slight interest because I was obsessed and they thought
04:05it's just easier to go along with it rather than show resistance, even though they were
04:09completely in charge of the funds and where we would go on the holidays.
04:12But we've gone everywhere to see them, New Zealand, all parts of Australia, and then
04:17we finally saw them in Canada.
04:18Wow.
04:19Yeah.
04:19So all your family holidays are just organised around your interests?
04:22Yes.
04:23Yes.
04:24Are you an only child?
04:25I am.
04:26Yeah.
04:31Ben.
04:32Tom.
04:32Now you're mad for David Fincher films.
04:35Yep.
04:35For people who don't know, what kind of films does he direct?
04:38A bit of everything in there.
04:39Seven and Fight Club are sort of the earlier, darker ones than Alien 3.
04:42And then the later social network and more prestige like Benjamin Button.
04:45Okay.
04:46So how old were you when you were introduced to David Fincher?
04:49Way too young.
04:50I think I saw Seven way before I should have seen Seven.
04:53Definitely.
04:54Did your parents think Seven was an age requirement?
04:57Possibly.
04:58Just absent parents.
04:59Now you toured Australia with a death metal band.
05:01Yes.
05:02What was the band called?
05:03The band I toured with was a band called Letters of Carnage.
05:09That's the early days in a band called Lenore.
05:11Now you mentioned that your mum grew up with Ivan Malat.
05:14Mm-hmm.
05:14Is that why she thought seeing Seven was a good idea?
05:19Possibly.
05:20Yeah, my mum and all her brothers and sisters all were the same age, living in Granville and
05:25Sydney at the same time as the Malats.
05:26What was he like when he was younger?
05:30According to my mum, not very nice.
05:32Oh.
05:33At least he's consistent.
05:35Alright, let's play.
05:37Hard!
05:38Expert round.
05:39Expert subject.
05:41Win or lose five points.
05:42Steal and answer.
05:44Double points.
05:45I'll ask each of you five questions on your expert subject.
05:47Right, you get five points.
05:48Wrong, I will take five points from you.
05:50The rest of you can steal at any time to get double points.
05:52Let's start with Ben and his expert subject, David Fincher Film.
05:58As seen in the film's gritty title sequence, the film Seven is often spelt with the number
06:03seven replacing what letter?
06:05Who's the steal of Mike?
06:06S.
06:08Incorrect.
06:08Ben?
06:09V.
06:10Correct!
06:15That's why it should actually be pronounced Sesevanan.
06:21One of Fincher's early jobs was camera assistant as part of the animation team working on these
06:27things for which Star Wars film?
06:29Ben?
06:29Return of the Jedi?
06:31Correct!
06:32Correct!
06:34The social network opens with Mark Zuckerberg getting dumped by his girlfriend who tells him
06:39that if girls don't like him, it's because he's an arsehole, not because he's a what?
06:45It's wide open.
06:48Who's the steal?
06:48It's Mike!
06:49Two.
06:51Incorrect!
06:56It's still wide open.
06:58Quick, someone fill the awkward silence.
07:03Time's up.
07:04Nerd.
07:06Yeah, it's...
07:10Just a guess.
07:11Yeah, it was just a guess.
07:12Okay, yeah.
07:13F*** me, Dad.
07:15Yeah, the answer is nerd.
07:17Yeah.
07:18The scene actually took 99 takes to capture making the real arsehole David Fincher.
07:24To score his films, Fincher frequently collaborates with composers Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor,
07:29members of which Grammy-winning industrial rock band?
07:32Nine Inch Nails.
07:33Correct!
07:34Correct!
07:36Industrial rock bands, Nine Inch Nails is correct.
07:40Last question in your set, Ben.
07:41In preparation for filming Fight Club, stars Brad Pitt and Edward Norton learnt how to make
07:47what toiletries?
07:48Ben.
07:49Soap.
07:50Correct!
07:54Next set of questions is for Alex on Killer Whales.
08:01Killer Whales, or orcas, are the largest member of the Delfinidae family, also known as Oceanic what?
08:08Alex.
08:09Dolphins.
08:09Correct!
08:15SeaWorld in the US ended its orca breeding program after backlash escalated with the release
08:20of which 2013 documentary?
08:22Alex.
08:23Blackfish.
08:23Correct!
08:27Yeah, the doco focused on the life of an orca named Tilikum, who was used in the breeding
08:32program despite killing multiple humans.
08:35Killer Whales don't usually go after people in the wild, though, do they?
08:39No, they don't.
08:40So the suggestion was the whale did not enjoy being kept in captivity?
08:43That's right.
08:44I think it went a bit mad.
08:46An orca uprising made news in 2023 as a pod of killer whales in the Strait of Gibraltar
08:51had been doing what?
08:53Alex.
08:54Sinking boats.
08:56Correct!
09:00That's one of the damaged boats there.
09:02Some experts reckon it kicked off thanks to one orca named White Gladys being upset
09:07with the boats.
09:09Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time that White Gladys started shit.
09:13She's been writing letters to the ABC for years.
09:18F*** off, Gladys.
09:21Female and killer whales are one of only a handful of animals, including humans, to enter which
09:25reproductive life phase?
09:28Julie for the steal.
09:30Menopause?
09:31Correct!
09:36Place menopause with killer while mums look after their adult sons and keep them out of
09:39fights.
09:43And that's why they go to the Arctic, it's to get rid of the hot flushes.
09:48Last question in your set, Alex.
09:51In Antarctic waters, pack ice orcas work together to hunt seals on ice floes, using a technique
09:57called wave what?
09:59Alex.
10:00Washing?
10:01Correct!
10:05They just flip them off and eat them, don't they?
10:07That's right, they do.
10:08Flip them off and eat them.
10:09They're like jerks, but they're jerks who work as a team.
10:11Yes.
10:12That's right.
10:13Time now for Julie and the B-52s.
10:20You're relaxing into it, are you, Mike?
10:22Yep.
10:22Okay.
10:24I wouldn't mind doing the same, actually.
10:25Yeah.
10:32I don't want you to see my nipple piercing.
10:36Formed in 1976 and known as the world's greatest party band, the B-52s name is a reference
10:41to what hairstyle, Julie?
10:43Bouffonts.
10:44Correct!
10:46Yeah, bouffonts or beehives is correct.
10:50Intrepid reporter Molly Meldrum got to the bottom of it.
10:53First of all, the name.
10:54Is it a bummer or is it a hairdo or is it nothing?
10:57The idea.
10:58It's a hairdo.
10:59All right.
11:02What an interrogation.
11:03It's like watching Sarah Ferguson at work.
11:08In the lyrics of their hit song, the B-52s implore people heading to the Love Shack to bring
11:14money for what music machine?
11:16Julie.
11:16Jukebox.
11:17Correct!
11:22Frontman Fred Schneider often performs using sprecazang, a vocalisation style that combines
11:27singing and what?
11:28Julie.
11:29Speaking.
11:30Correct!
11:34Yeah, Schneider admits he can't sing well, so he just sort of recites.
11:38Can you give us an example?
11:40I think I won't, but thank you.
11:43If you see a faded sign on the side of the road.
11:52After his musical hiatus in the 70s, John Lennon said he was inspired to make music again.
11:58Julie.
11:58After hearing Rock Lobster.
12:00Correct!
12:02After hearing which B-52s hit, Rock Lobster is correct.
12:07It's the one that goes like this.
12:14So, how did Rock Lobster inspire John Lennon?
12:17I think he heard it and thought it was really different and something new, so he wanted to
12:21get out and do music again.
12:22Alex, I can't believe you didn't get it.
12:24Like, it's on your shirt.
12:25Yeah, yeah.
12:26I noticed that.
12:28Playing a fictionalised version of themselves called the BC-52s.
12:32Julie.
12:33Julie.
12:33The Flintstones movie in 1994.
12:35Correct!
12:37The band performs the Bedrock Twix song in what movie?
12:40The Flintstones is correct.
12:41Five for five!
12:48All right, last set in the expert round.
12:50It's Mike and vintage sewing machines.
12:56Developed in 1790, sewing machines were initially operated by hand cranks and foot treadles until
13:02the advent of what power source?
13:04Mike.
13:05The electric motor.
13:06Correct!
13:12Do you do any hand cranking?
13:15I'm not sure I should answer that, Tom.
13:17I don't know.
13:18Sometimes I find you've got to crank it yourself.
13:20Anyway.
13:22Introduced in 1933, the singer 221 was partly made from aluminium and shares its name with
13:28what boxing division?
13:29Mike.
13:30Featherwit.
13:31Correct!
13:35A lock stitch is created when the thread in a needle interlocks with a second thread
13:40that has been spooled around what component of the machine?
13:43Mike.
13:44Bobbin.
13:45Correct!
13:49Before the lock stitch, sewing machines would make a chain stitch, which as we all know
13:54is a dog shit stitch.
13:56Is that right, Mike?
13:57Yes.
13:57Can easily be unravelled.
13:59Yeah.
14:00Single thread running through, you just pull it and the whole thing comes out.
14:03As opposed to having two threads where one locks the other one in.
14:06Yep.
14:07That's as much sewing chat as I can do.
14:12Early sewing machines often had ornate designs, including an 1868 model by Kimball and Morton,
14:18shaped like what large cats?
14:20Mike.
14:21A lion.
14:24We've got one over.
14:27Last question in your set, Mike.
14:29Produced by Singer, the Isaac 1500 allowed users to program it using what Nintendo product?
14:37For the Steelers fan.
14:38Gameboy.
14:39Correct!
14:40Double points to you.
14:46So just to be clear, this is the coolest fact that we could find out about sewing machines.
14:52And it's still pretty sad.
14:55We've rolled through their subjects, now let's roll through mine.
14:58Tom's round.
