S1: A listener production.
S2: Bailey Brown one side and burnt to a crisp on
S2: the other. Drives me mad. Fresh from the uneven toaster
S2: of white, it's Matt and Alex all day.
S3: Breakfast. Yes. Welcome to this podcast where every day we
S3: try to find the pursuit of happiness. But today, Meadow Keen,
S3: we're in search of the trivial pursuit of happiness.
S4: Oh, yeah, that's right. We have been visiting our locally
S4: owned trivia team in a Pursuit to Greatness and we
S4: thought we would visit them on home soil in Brisbane
S4: where we are today and try to achieve that milestone.
S4: All will be.
S3: Revealed in a moment as we try to go for
S3: trivial superstardom as well as that we've got a bit
S3: of mind blown today.
S4: You've also uncovered a new trend, which I had never
S4: heard about it. You thought you'd you know, you thought
S4: you'd broken ground with the Pappy shower. Well, well, well.
S4: Just you wait to hear what people are celebrating now.
S3: It should be a very fun show. Stick with us.
S3: It's Matt and Alex all day. Breakfast.
S5: This is just the start.
S6: Everyone ready?
S7: Let's get this show on the road.
S8: Let's go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
S8: Matt and Alex all day. Breakfast.
S3: Well, Matt, it's been a very fun week so far
S3: in Breezy, but let's talk turkey here. All right? We
S3: were here for one reason and one reason, not friendship.
S3: That's out the window. We are here to win. We
S3: are investors. And much like our boy Ryan Reynolds, who
S3: we have met before. And you told him about when
S3: you performed Bohemian Rhapsody at a pub and said it
S3: was the greatest karaoke performance of all time.
S4: I might have overshot my shot, but that's okay. You
S4: got to. You know, when you're in the boxing ring,
S4: you don't you don't talk about how much the opponent
S4: is going to beat you. You say, I'm here to win.
S3: Ryan Reynolds could very well have taken the Chris Rock route.
S3: And God, really, you're saying that to me. But no.
S3: Very humble man, but also great investor. Bought a football
S3: team in the UK. They got a fairy tale story
S3: and we thought, Look, we need to get in this game.
S3: So we bought a breezy trivia team. We might have
S3: heard Hannah this week chatting to it and we rocked
S3: up down to the West End Hotel this week, sharpened
S3: the grey lads and we got down to business. Hannah,
S3: the general manager, has just rocked up. Hannah, here is
S3: your special t shirt. How are you feeling about tonight?
S9: I'm feeling pumped. We've got our uniforms. We're good to
S9: go there.
S3: What was the team name?
S9: Usually we change it all the time. So we're up
S9: for a new one this week.
S3: We could be the the West End Dyson for wontons.
S9: That sounds great to me. I'm all for it.
S3: I'll tell you what, Hannah. This is the most professional
S3: pub trivia booklet I have ever received. Can you tell
S3: us what we're looking at here?
S9: So we are looking at the inquisitive trivia.
S3: And where's the emphasis? Come on.
S9: The inquisitive. There it is. Trivia answer booklet.
S3: The rounds up picture books, science and nature, days and months.
S3: How many music and potluck.
S4: Does anyone feel particularly passionate about anything like that?
S10: Do you reckon potluck is food like.
S4: The guy with the long hair out here? I know
S4: what you think potluck is about, mate.
S3: Which month did Anthony Albanese assume office as Prime Minister
S3: of Australia? If Dyson, for one, got this wrong? I
S3: would be very disappointed. May. May 26th. Election Day. Oof!
S3: Or in my case, on Election Day. What is your
S3: team name here tonight?
S11: Pack of shunts.
S3: The pack of shunts. All right. I'm joining the pack
S3: of shunts down here at the trivia night. I won't
S3: look at your answer card, but how's it all going tonight?
S3: I think it was a bit of a surprise to
S3: the science round like that. Science round had some pretty
S3: cheeky questions. Oh, we're getting to the six months in.
S3: Here are the answers. Good luck. Pack of shunts. Good luck.
S3: Thank you.
S12: I think someone's last year did elbow. Oh, God.
S3: I'm nervous.
S12: Now. That was late May.
S3: Yes. Dyson, for one. When was the winter solstice in Australia?
S3: Northern Hemisphere. Summer solstice. It's in June. My birthday's on
S3: the 22nd. Always shortest day of second.
S12: Shortest day. Yeah, you know that.
S3: Yeah. You should know where my birthday is, Matt. I really.
S4: Should. It surprises me every time.
S3: Okay. We've literally just hit the easiest round of all time.
S3: How many rings are served? The Olympic Games symbol.
S9: Hey.
S13: Hello.
S3: Well, you can joke around in your own time. We
S3: run this team now.
S12: Duty free show between 1947 at an airport in Denmark,
S12: Ireland or the US.
S3: Where did the world first duty free shop open?
S9: In Denmark.
S3: It's giving Denmark. Okay. The only Brit on the team
S3: might have this one. What does Posh stand for? Posh.
S3: Originally in ocean voyages.
S10: Port out. Starboard home.
S3: Port out. Stop at home.
S10: The bank.
S3: Take it to the bank. We haven't got the results yet.
S3: It's pending. But how do we all think we went?
S12: Killed it. Killed it.
S3: Killed it. Do you reckon we came second?
S12: Hey, can I.
S4: Say, even though we may have come second. Many great
S4: people have come second.
S3: That's true.
S12: Okay.
S3: Your partner. Come on, Denmark. Come on. Islands. It was
S3: giving us his the acronym for Posh. What is it for?
S3: That stuff. We got it. We got it. Thank you
S3: very much for hosting tonight. What was your name? Sorry. Brad. Brad,
S3: Thank you very much. So we were dicing for one
S3: and it sounds like we came third.
S12: Yes, that is correct.
S3: Out of how many.
S12: Teams out of seven?
S3: Yes. But let's be honest. If a table of 15
S3: can't win a trivia night.
S4: It's very embarrassing. We're going to find the fire exits
S4: to this place and leave quietly.
S9: You guys wanted a sports team and we gave you one.
S3: And now it's time for my.
S4: Yes, that's right. This is the segment in which I
S4: attempt to blow you, Alex Tyson's mind and also you
S4: listening with a fact that I have learned across the
S4: last seven days.
S3: Now, you've been reading some science journals this week. You've
S3: been in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. What's been what's been your
S3: weapon of choice when it comes to arming your mind
S3: with facts? Matthew.
S4: The DMS. Now, they have not usually appeared in.
S14: You know.
S4: Bound in leather and in your friend's parents living room
S4: on their bookshelf.
S3: I'll tell you what, I've got a few DMS from
S3: some people bound in leather, if you know what I mean.
S4: So this comes from Bronwyn Zak. Oh.
S3: Producer Bronze blowing minds today.
S4: Now, this is a multi-layered fact because it's about a
S4: specific type of lollipop.
S3: Now how did you come across Lollipop facts? What's happening?
S15: It was on TikTok. And then also I've not done
S15: any further research to this, so I. I just sent
S15: Matt a screenshot of something I saw. It was like,
S15: here's something.
S4: Maybe it is pretty it was pretty mind blowing. Did you.
S3: Verify?
S4: I did some research. I always do my research.
S3: Just making sure. Just making sure.
S4: Okay. So now this is about lollipops, which I think
S4: I was quite amazed by.
S3: So we've got stand up comedy about mind blowing lollipops.
S4: Now the modern lollipop. Is, they say, according to Wikipedia,
S4: still something of a mystery. But a number of companies.
S3: Puppies A is a mystery.
S4: Well, they say that a number of companies have laid
S4: claim to it. But according to a book Food for Thought,
S4: Extraordinary Life Chronicles of the World, Lollipops were apparently invented
S4: by George Smith of New Haven, Connecticut, who started making
S4: large hard candies mounted on sticks in 1908. He named
S4: them after a racehorse of the time Lollipop. And trademarked
S4: the lollipop name in 1931, which I found.
S3: Lollipop was named after a horse.
S4: Yes. Okay. So this is why I find it a
S4: little bit interesting because especially in 1900, like I would
S4: think that they would date way back then. So there
S4: are pops. There are there is history of boiled candies
S4: on sticks or handles because.
S3: People have been putting stuff on sticks for millennia. Yeah, well,
S3: it's like the shish kebab make.
S4: Love me a kebab. Bit of a tinga the old
S4: Ghanaian suya. So. So Nigerian beans. So yeah. Anyways, anyway, look,
S4: I found it quite interesting, okay? To think that this
S4: person has claimed to have made the lollipop of the
S4: lollipop 1908. But what I did not know, okay, like.
S3: The lollipop was very close to being invented along the
S3: same time as the aeroplane. Like only, what, a couple
S3: of years before?
S4: Yeah, right. Like it's. Yeah.
S3: It's like two very different inventions. One, I'd say you'd
S3: hope we could have come up with quite a bit earlier.
S4: Okay.
S3: Lolly on a.
S4: Stick. What I didn't know is that Chapa Chups.
S3: Very famous.
S4: Very famous company is actually a Spanish company right now.
S3: Spanish for something?
S4: Yes. Chopper chop. Yeah. Okay, so chopper chop. Apparently, the
S4: chopper is a short word. Well, the name of the
S4: brand comes from the Spanish verb Chupa. Meaning to lick.
S4: That's what the. That's what it says here. Okay. Yeah.
S3: So, Chapa. And then what's the chopper?
S4: Well, chipper. Chipper. I'm guessing it's a two lick lick.
S3: That's it. Chop and chop. Literally made licky lick.
S4: I guess so.
S3: Because if so, that's gross.
S4: So the thing that was was mind blowing is that,
S4: you know, we all know the Chapa Chup logo, the.
S3: Little like curly riding.
S4: Yeah, curly riding on the yellow flower kind of thing. Yeah,
S4: that was designed. In 1969 by the surrealist artist Salvador Dali.
S3: What?
S4: Yeah.
S3: Salvador Dali?
S4: Yeah.
S3: Originally did the chop chop logo. Yeah, bro, that guy
S3: sold out. I mean, he used to be all about
S3: melting watches. You know, it was about the art, man. Yeah.
S3: Why is he going designing logos for companies now?
S4: What? I didn't know. Maybe you had a little boiled
S4: candy at the back of his paintbrush. You know, Little
S4: Licky lick. Yeah. Little Ricki Lake while he's painting the paint.
S3: Did you record as part of the deal to get
S3: Salvador Dali to do this lollipop thing? They invented a
S3: stick that could also be a paintbrush. Paintbrush. So that
S3: while brush pop.
S4: Is that not a good idea? I'm not saying that
S4: they did that, but I think it would. They should have.
S3: Well, some people paint with their mouth. And it would
S3: be easier to, like, hold the paintbrush in your mouth
S3: if there was a boiled lolly on the end of it.
S4: You'd certainly get your reward, wouldn't you?
S3: Absolutely.
S4: So I think that was pretty interesting stuff.
S3: Well, that's good. My mind is blown that Salvador Dali
S3: was a capitalist hack. I did not. I did not realize. Oink, oink! Salvador. Oink, oink.
S4: It makes me feel better, you know, someone like him
S4: can advertise chopper tops and world's roasters. I mean, the
S4: three McDonald's coffee campaigns I've done, mate.
S3: I reckon you know this Brixton. I reckon Salvador Dali,
S3: sponsored by Big Mustache. I reckon there was a mustache
S3: wax company that was the one that got him to
S3: do his famous Mot.
S4: Well, he probably. Well, no, he probably just didn't want
S4: to get any hard candy in his in his tache.
S4: Needed a stick to guide it into the mush a
S4: bit better.
S3: All right. Anyway, we also love you blowing our minds
S3: here at Mountain Alex. All day breakfast. I send us
S3: a voice memo of a fact that you thought was
S3: incredibly unbelievable. Through to our DMS, Matt and Alex.
S9: I always thought the song Closing Time by Semi Sonic
S9: was about the pub closing. It was always the last
S9: song that my local played before they kicked us out.
S9: But listening to a podcast today, they shared that the
S9: song is not about being bounced from the pub, but
S9: about being bounced on the womb as his wife just
S9: gave birth to a premature baby. He did write it
S9: to have a double meaning but ended up hiding it
S9: so well that no one ever knew it was actually
S9: about birth. So make sure you listen to it now
S9: with the new meaning in mind. And it's quite funny.
S3: Yes.
S4: Did you know I.
S3: Heard the same podcast and it blew my mind? Seriously,
S3: do you do you look at it?
S4: So this song's released in 1998, Closing time, Open all
S4: the doors and let you out into the world. Closing time,
S4: turning all the lights on over every boy and every girl.
S3: Yeah. And this used to be at college every at
S3: the end of the pub all the time. But yeah,
S3: I think it's a song Exploder episode. It's a song exploder.
S4: I know who I want to take home. I know
S4: who I want to take home. I know who I
S4: want to take me home. I know who I want
S4: to take me home.
S3: I think one of them is like, time for you
S3: to go home to the places that you will be from.
S3: You get born somewhere. You're from there. How cool is that?
S4: Although it's outside. So gather up your jackets. Move it
S4: to the exits.
S3: There's also finish your whiskey or beer, which I don't
S3: think is happening in the womb, but double meanings.
S4: All right. Well, thank you very much.
S3: For maybe the drink he's thinking of is a rum
S3: biblical chord. Maybe that's maybe that's the drink that a
S3: baby would be having at the Womb pub.
S4: I wish my silence was that of disapproval, but I'm
S4: actually trying to think of other puns. I honestly couldn't
S4: think of anything.
S16: Yeah.
S3: How about we just leave it there? I mean, you
S3: can't top perfection, Matt, so why bother?
S4: I don't know. I'm just trying to. All I can
S4: get is.
S3: You're killing me. All radio executives tell people like us
S3: on the mics. Say something funny. Finish on a laugh. Okay.
S3: I said an excellent joke, and we finish on awkward silence.
S3: You've got to come with.
S4: Me, man. I'm just trying to think all I can
S4: think of birth standing like smirnoff's not. So I'm like,
S4: I'm like, can I weave that into some. Rumpelstiltskin like
S4: joke gold out of it. All right. Thank you very
S4: much for keeping in touch with us at mat.nz. Alex,
S4: as we always love hearing your DMS.
S3: I know two unborn babies. Favourite champagne is.
S17: Mum.
S4: I don't know if we can even talk. Now that
S4: I think about it. Babies and alcohol.
S3: No, please do not drink while pregnant.
S13: Guys.
S15: Bubbly.
UU: Oh, okay. You surprise.
S12: You knocking.
S3: Them out of the park. Good work, Bron. Drink responsibly. Not. Well, Matt,
S3: you changed the game recently by getting a couple of
S3: lads together and going off on a puppy shower weekend.
S3: Some would contend it changed the game to a place
S3: that no one should be.
S4: A game that no one wants to play. A very
S4: dangerous game. I have to say, if you enjoy your relationship.
S3: Pappy shower being dads pre birth of their child go
S3: off and you know talk to other dads hang out
S3: with other men in this sort of way but I've
S3: heard of a new a new one.
S4: Okay. What's another excuse for me to.
S3: Because I guess that was a baby shower. Yeah. Then
S3: the pappy shower was a couple of puppies hanging out.
S14: Yeah.
S3: Well, I had a friend who recently attended their very
S3: first not baby shower, but baby shower, boobie shower, boobie shower.
S3: Their friend getting breast implants. Oh, And so I had
S3: a party to celebrate the incoming members of the family.
S4: Wait, wait, wait, wait. So were the were the. Was
S4: the party before or after the implants?
S3: Before the implants. Pre implants.
S4: What? So it's like a sayonara.
S3: Sayonara to. Well, no, it's not, because it's like a
S3: baby shower is we're about to welcome, I guess, a
S3: new addition. And I guess it's the same concept. But
S3: for boobies.
S4: Was it just girls that were invited?
S3: All the girls came along. They had, you know, appropriate food,
S3: cupcakes and those kind of things. All right. Games were played,
S3: which was. Are you serious?
S4: Did this actually happen? Yeah, it's actually happened, actually. A
S4: baby shower.
S3: A baby shower.
S4: Like I mean.
S3: I'm not going to give you the names of a dress, mate.
S3: What more information do you want? The girls went round.
S3: They had a baby shower.
S4: So I just never heard of this before.
S3: Well, I'm not sure how common it is if, you know,
S3: celebrating the incoming boobies, which I did here, apparently last
S3: about ten years. Yeah. Cost about $15,000 in some cases.
S14: Yeah.
S3: Which is about 1500 a year. But my friend who's
S3: not getting the baby shower, who was just attending the
S3: baby shower, made the good point as well. It's like, yeah,
S3: the boobs, the surgery, all that sort of stuff. That's expensive.
S3: What about the new clothes you gonna have to buy?
S4: I didn't even think about clothes. Didn't think about the
S4: new swimwear.
S3: New swimwear, new bras.
S14: Yeah. We're gonna have to go.
S3: That's. That's a bit pricier as well.
S4: How do you get to a baby shower? Motorboat.
S3: Oh.
S4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
S3: We did that. All right.
S4: Oh, yeah. That's the end of the show. Thank you
S4: very much for joining us. This has been another nice
S4: all day breakfast. I hope you're having a good one.
S4: We'll see you tomorrow. Same time, same place. Bye bye.
S2: That's it. The all day breakfast kitchen is closed. Got
S2: something to add to the show? Slide into our DMS.
UU: At Matt and Alex.
