Speaker 2:Hello and welcome to another episode of Bonus Dad, bonus Daughter. Today we are should we do life update actually first, yeah, what?
Speaker 1:have we been up to?
Speaker 2:We went to Thought Park.
Speaker 1:We did go to.
Speaker 2:Thought Park. We did, what did you think?
Speaker 1:I yeah, I'll be honest. I will be honest Coming off the back of Disney.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's.
Speaker 2:It's not the best for theming.
Speaker 1:It's not the best for theming, but the rides were good. But rides were good. Yeah, it's yeah. Just you know that's what? Um three weeks after disney yeah, yeah, it's a bad time to go to thought park yeah but you haven't been since you were I can't even remember the last time I went you, you told me when I went I I don't know, because I don't.
Speaker 2:I don't ever remember going with you to thought park, alton towers yes, at thought park. Have we actually been together then? Who knows, maybe? Not we all need to ask our fact checker. Oh, oh, fact checker, yeah, we'll need to ask her. But, um, but I'm not, I'm not 100, sure I? Um, obviously I've been countless times over the years. In fact, I've been already three times this year now. That was my third visit.
Speaker 1:Well, you've got like a Merlin Gold Pass, haven't you? So you can go to theme parks quite a lot, because yeah, yeah, we are Merlin Pass holders.
Speaker 2:So yeah, alton Towers and Thorpe Park is in there. There's any sea life centre across the UK as well.
Speaker 1:Is it really?
Speaker 2:Yeah, we've been to Warwick Castle on it as well, which is cool. We would never have done that if we hadn't got the Merlin Pass, so that was pretty cool.
Speaker 1:So is Merlin. Merlin's a company, isn't it, that owns all those theme parks?
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, theme parks and attractions. Also, cadbury World as well. Is it Chocolaty? Bourneville, bourneville, indeed, bourneville? Yeah, it's my favourite chocolate Bourneville. I know it is. I know it is. What did you think of your first ride on the tallest roller coaster in the UK?
Speaker 1:I'm not going to lie right High period. I had my eyes closed at the start Because you know my feelings about lift hills. I do not like them when they go slow.
Speaker 2:But to be fair, that was a fairly quick one. It's a quick boy it is. It is fairly mac are quite good at making a quick lift hill yeah, yeah, but once.
Speaker 1:Once I'm at the top and as soon as we start going down, I'm fine, eyes open, I'm ready to go. Yeah, but yeah, that first part I must have.
Speaker 2:But so you know, when you come around, the beginning bit and and you get chucked onto the left-hand side for no apparent reason. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when you come around, but everybody's still in the queue. Can see you, can't you? Yeah, so what I did this is how vain I am and I thought, oh, I don't want people to see that I've got my eyes closed. So I just stared at one point until we went past the queue.
Speaker 2:Was it like one random lady? Yeah, it's like. Oh my God, why was he staring at me? Have I got something on my face?
Speaker 1:Oh, no, no, no, I wasn't looking at someone in the queue, I was looking in the actual car itself. Oh, in the car. Yeah, I was looking at that one specific point and then, at the corner of my eye, the second. We got to the last person in the queue. I realised they couldn't see me anymore. I just went.
Speaker 2:Which means you are capable of not being a worse.
Speaker 1:Well, no, no, not really, it's just. I was more thinking, you know, because there were kids on that ride at like six, seven years old.
Speaker 2:Well, that's not true. It's the hype restriction.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know, but you know what I mean, yeah. So I was like, yeah, I can't be seen to do that. But yeah, once we started going, it was really good fun, it was really good fun, yeah, enjoyed it. I did only go on it once, though, because you did go on it. You guys went on it twice we went on it twice, we went on it twice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I had to have a little bit of a sit down because the previous week he's old Well, I am, but that wasn't the reason. But the previous week I put some pork in a slow cooker and then I decided that I'd make crackling and I put the pork fat onto a baking tray and as it came out the oven it clipped and hot oil poured all over my foot. So my foot is quite badly damaged and walking was an issue. And then when we got to see where the ride was, I was like I literally can't walk anymore. I need to sit down and rest my foot. So there I was, while you were on Hyperia, with my trainers off, my socks off, with a bandaged foot, sitting by the toilets.
Speaker 1:It didn't look great yes, a wounded soldier we have yeah, yeah, I'll spare you the uh, the image I am wearing socks today so I'm not, I'm not putting that image up. No, no, no, no, no one, no one needs it would need a trigger warning. That would definitely need a trigger warning but um, so I mean, but that was a fun ride, enjoyed it. I did enjoy that. Swarm was good.
Speaker 2:I must admit, swarm is my favorite ride yes, yes, it is, that's my favorite, that is my favorite ride there, but I do like it's the restraints.
Speaker 1:I really like those restraints yep, they're comfy, very comfortable bucket seats yeah comfortable restraints yeah, and mitchell was telling me that they were kind of like the in-between stage between the, the overhang, and then you got the lap bulb which on.
Speaker 2:So but I don't see why they didn't catch on yeah, um I don't know why they would assume some sort of um maintenance and or supply chain issue with, like, maybe the rubber thing, possibly because no other seat is really made of that type of rubber that would be my educated guess yeah, but I mean things like manta ray.
Speaker 1:They use those types as well, because when you kind of look the flying type coasters they've, they use that yes, they do yeah but yeah, I really enjoyed that one. Um, yes, saw went on, saw did give me a headache.
Speaker 2:I'm not gonna lie, I felt like I was being rattled around we don't actually go on that one anymore when we go to thought park, because we just end up with a headache afterwards and it ruins the rest of the day yeah, we did warn you guys, but we also wanted you to experience it at least once exactly so you got to yeah, I did, and colossus as well, which was good colossus is good, but again it's an old ride and it's a bit of a bone rattler it is, again it's one of those ones where I think if they'd have had a better type of restraint on there it needs a new car, so it had a glow up recently.
Speaker 2:By glow up I mean it had a repaint, so it's had that done and I was wondering then, you know, are you going to replace your? But?
Speaker 1:they did not.
Speaker 2:That would make that ride a lot more comfortable. Plus, it's kind of one of those rides that's so old and so outdated that it doesn't accommodate for the growing population in terms of how big we are as humans now. It was made when we were a lot smaller, I guess, and it hasn't really.
Speaker 1:It's not very, uh, universal yeah, I know, in body shape and size. Yeah, but it is. It was good fun, it was a good one. I did enjoy.
Speaker 2:I like this, the inversion you haven't mentioned nemesis, which is mitchell's favorite.
Speaker 1:Oh, I keep, because nemesis is what I always kind of attribute to alton towers. But I mean, it's just, nemesis is just. I mean, I've ridden that so many times, I know exactly what's going to happen where.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a fun one. Though it is a fun one it's like. It's like old, reliable it's like old faithful, it's comfort, it's a comfort blanket, I think. Nemesis, nemesis in Toronto.
Speaker 1:I mean, nemesis got to the point where you get to and you're so familiar or I'm so familiar with it, let's try and get on the back seat, or let's do the front one this time, or actually I don't want to be whipped around, so let's go and sit in the middle or let's sit on it's.
Speaker 2:It's got to that stage with that where you're, where you want to ride it as comfortably as possible oh my god, the walking dead.
Speaker 1:Oh, so yeah, the walking dead is a is. I mean, I was the. The photograph of us. We looked thoroughly bored. It was like, what is this? But? But there was a group of females, weren't they?
Speaker 2:I mean, they weren't very a group of females, a group of school girls.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're allowed to say that yeah, and they weren't very old and they were essentially school girls I would say 14 max but they were screaming the whole time and you know that pitch you get where it hurts your ears. It it was there, wasn't it? Yeah, it was there we went.
Speaker 2:We weren't as unfortunate as you. We were further back in the car, which is where you want to be on that ride. So the walking dead ride used to be backwards. It used to go backwards, it used to be called x and then x, no way out. And essentially it was themed really strangely. Actually it was like was like a raven side.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like strobe lighting. It was like, as you're going backwards around the thing, Backwards, great ride. Oh yeah, I can see that Forwards. It's a little bit boring. It lacks luster.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I feel like it lacks a bit of oomph.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:I much preferred it backwards and I think it would make a cooler ride backwards if you're escaping the walking dead, but you know whatever, yeah, it was okay yeah it's fine. It used to be better, but yeah. Fun fact about that particular roller coaster it came out the same year I was born. Did it really?
Speaker 1:Yep, it's a weird. I mean, the car that you sit in as well is really weird.
Speaker 2:It's not the most comfortable, yeah, old style.
Speaker 1:It's one of those bars that come down couldn't quite get my knees in, of which I'm showing today. Look, I'm wearing shorts. Yeah, look at them because the sun's out, the sun is out.
Speaker 2:That's why I'm not wearing glasses today, because the glare was too much it's our five seconds of summer yes, it is see what I did there. I do see what you did there. Would you mind if I did a really cool segue? Go on so the walk and dead ride walking died.
Speaker 1:Died the walk and dead ride opened 1996, 1996 as a millennial.
Speaker 2:Today we're doing a millennial and boomer quiz we are today.
Speaker 1:That was a pretty good. That was. That was good. I, like you're gonna test me on gen x.
Speaker 2:I have done so. We're doing 10 questions each, but I've done done five for Millennial and I've done five for Boomer. Yeah, yeah, so I've done five Millennial, five Boomer, and you've done five Gen X.
Speaker 1:I've done 10 Gen X.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, sorry, 10 Gen X.
Speaker 1:So I came up with the idea for this episode and I thought we'd do a little bit of a quiz, because when we started the podcast off it was about how things were different between when I was growing up to when Hannah was growing up. But obviously we've done a lot of episodes and I'm not going to lie, we started to run a little bit out of material. We've evolved.
Speaker 2:We've evolved.
Speaker 1:So I came up with an idea of kind of mixing the two of what we kind of do now with chat shit and also go back to what we used to do. So we're going to quiz each other on our relative yeah, in a nice gamey, quizzy form, yeah but hannah had made a really good point and that she was at a disadvantage in that I was alive during both the gen x and the millennial period, so I would probably know more than what Hannah would about the Gen X period.
Speaker 2:Because I wasn't alive.
Speaker 1:Yeah because you weren't alive. So we thought we'd go back and Hannah was going to do Boomer, and then she rang me up and said that she's done Five of Each.
Speaker 2:I've done Five of Each. I hope that's okay, that's fine. I've gone against the curve a little bit, but I thought at least this way. And also, isn't it just fun that I actually prepared for one of our episodes today. I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's crazy, I'm really impressed. Thank you, yeah, really really impressed. So we have, because, apparently as well, when we did the song quiz, hannah seems to think that I may have messed up the scoring somewhere along the line.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you messed up or I don't think you messed up actually.
Speaker 1:Oh, by the way, because by the end of it, oh sorry, go on.
Speaker 2:Well, by the end the numbers made sense, but somewhere in the middle you might have misread your tallies because I was like, are we on 15 or 16 points? Because I was keeping count as I was listening to it. And I was like but he's now saying that we've got 16 and 17, not 15 and 16. It was like that, that sort of discrepancy, and I was like that's really weird. So I don't think you messed up, I just think that you said the wrong numbers yeah when you were saying it out loud.
Speaker 1:But it's cool, we sorted it, I won yeah, and also, um, your mum listened to that episode and she was screaming tapow at the, the with heart and soul oh, yes, yes yeah, I think she used.
Speaker 2:Tapow's most famous song is like china.
Speaker 1:I love that song, yeah, yeah it was yeah and also uh, you actually came up with a spring, didn't you? I did, you did, I did.
Speaker 2:I actually got a voice note, oh my god, I got a voice note of hannah just singing this song winter, spring, summer or fall, because it was just like I was in the car and I was like mitchell, pause the radio. We weren't listening to radio, we're listening to um spotify. And I was like, pause, I just need to send davy a voice note. And then I just sang into the phone but I retook it two times because I kept warbling on the notes and I was like I can't send him that read, read it can't send him that read.
Speaker 2:It was my third time lucky and I was like that'll do yes, so that was.
Speaker 1:All I got was just a voice note of hannah singing winter, spring, summer or fall, and I just burst out laughing.
Speaker 2:That was brilliant at least you knew what I was on about yeah, I do that quite often. If I don't, if I can't think, do you know what I was trying to think of the other day? This is so outside of the quiz, um, and it's not a quiz question, I promise yeah name both chuckle brothers to me and to you yeah, but nate, what's that?
Speaker 2:what's their name? Barry? Yeah, what's the other one? Yeah, I couldn't think of it either, right, and I was on my way home. I was on a night out and we were discussing it on the car on the way back kind of drunkenly on the way back, yeah, and then I got it is that one on the way back, kind of drunkenly on the way back, yeah, and then I got.
Speaker 1:Is that one of the questions? No, no, no. Name the Chuckle Brothers. No, no, no.
Speaker 2:Three days later. I just sent her Paul Chuckle. Was it Paul? It's Paul Barry and Paul Barry and Paul. Yeah, I thought his name was Nigel yeah it. If that ever comes up in a quiz.
Speaker 1:Barry, and Paul, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 2:Because we all remember Barry Chuckle. Why can't we not remember Paul? I can't remember which one's died either. I think Paul's the one that's passed.
Speaker 1:I don't know I genuinely don't know. I don't know but yeah, but yeah, so we've designed this quiz. Oh yeah, back to the quiz. Back to the quiz. Uh, we've designed this quiz, so I'm going to ask a question in multiple choice. Hannah is then going to answer and we've got. So we don't get the scoring wrong this time. Hannah's decided that we're using whiteboards, and this is the same. Trust you, this is the same whiteboard that hannah used to pick us up from the airport with as well uh, this one specifically.
Speaker 2:Yes, because I literally just got it from the bag that I took to the airport, which is bad because that was several weeks ago and I haven't undone that bag since. But we move.
Speaker 1:We do, yeah, yes.
Speaker 2:So what is the first question? So the first question to test your Generation X knowledge is Remind us have you got the years of Generation X?
Speaker 1:Generation X is 1965 to 1980.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree with that, because I've got 1981 to 1996 as millennial. Yes, let's go.
Speaker 1:So some of these will probably actually more. I've actually kind of gone, oh, actually.
Speaker 2:Have you messed?
Speaker 1:up. Yeah, I've just looked at some of the questions and they're a little bit post-Gen X, but before you were born.
Speaker 2:So it still works, okay, okay, that's fine, because I wasn, you were born, so it still works. It still works, that's fine, because I wasn't alive then.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it still works. Good job that you found that right now, I did do these questions quite late at night. Can't get the stuff, I know, I know, I know, sorry.
Speaker 2:First question.
Speaker 1:These are pre-Hannah.
Speaker 2:Pre-Hannah, pre-1996. Let's go.
Speaker 1:So which video game, released in 1980, is considered one of the first major arcade hits? Is it A? Oh, there's multiple choices, there's multiple choices, yeah, multiple choices. Is it A Pac-Man? Is it B Donkey Kong? Is it C Space Invaders, or is it D? Donkey Kong? Is it C Space Invaders, or is it D Frogger?
Speaker 2:Well, I've never heard of Frogger, but I know that Space Invaders was one of the first.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I know Pac-Man was quite. I'm going to go Space Invaders.
Speaker 1:No, oh no, it was Pac-Man, it was Pac-Man, it was Pac-Man.
Speaker 2:Got it.
Speaker 1:There used to be a joke about pac-man in the uh, in the rave culture, in the rave scene oh, because he's a smiley face because he's a smiley. Yeah, in the fact that they used to. I've heard it said to me that. Um so remember when people say video games influenced people yes and about, you know, violent video games influence people.
Speaker 2:GTA mostly, yes.
Speaker 1:The joke was it said when we were growing up we used to play Pac-Man, and you don't see our generation running around dark corridors listening to loud music, eating lots of little round things.
Speaker 2:But you do.
Speaker 1:That was the joke.
Speaker 2:That was the joke in the 90s, a rave culture joke, and it's like neon-y. Yes, exactly that was a rave culture joke. There you go. It definitely did.
Speaker 1:Okay, my first question for you is so that's a zero, that is a zero.
Speaker 2:I have no points, I was just writing notes down Nul poix, nul poix. Just like Eurovision next week. Is that next week? I'm so excited. Oh, I like eurovision, which social media platform was originally exclusive to just college students when it first launched in 2004? Yeah, was it myspace, facebook, twitter or linkedin facebook?
Speaker 1:it was facebook mark zuckerberg yep, you get a point I just want to say as well I didn't see the answer, but where your screen is. If I was to look at you, I could potentially see it.
Speaker 2:Well, that's just rude. So yeah, what if I did that?
Speaker 1:I can't see it now. Yes, and it was called the Facebook, I believe. I don't have that information yes, well, I only know that because I watch the social network.
Speaker 2:Oh, what like recently.
Speaker 1:Oh no, no, quite a while ago, Okay, quite a while ago, but yes, facebook.
Speaker 2:Damn. I thought you were going to say MySpace, oh.
Speaker 1:I get to pop myself a point Pop yourself a point.
Speaker 2:Pop myself a point. Pop yourself a point.
Speaker 1:I'm going to do the old style one, two, three, four, five, do it across.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel like that would help you out a lot more.
Speaker 1:Okay, yep, go, go, go. You should get this one, I'm ready. Which 1980s film features a group of high school students from different cliques stuck in Saturday detention?
Speaker 2:She's already written the oh you're writing the answers down no, no, no, no, no. I'm just making a note just in case. This is not one of the options and I know it's not this.
Speaker 1:Okay, sixteen Candles. Okay, the Breakfast Club. Oh, that's the one I wrote down. Weird Science or St Elmo's Fire?
Speaker 2:Well, I'm going to go with Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1:The Breakfast Club is 100% correct. One of the best films of all time.
Speaker 2:Hannah gets her point.
Speaker 1:Yes, she does indeed. Woo Right, okay.
Speaker 2:Hannah gets her point. Yes, she does indeed Right. Okay, my next one is what was the name of the virtual pet toy that was hugely popular among millennials in the late 1990s and early 2000s? Was it A Gigapet, b Furby, c Tamagotchi or D Neopet Tamagotchi? It was.
Speaker 1:Tamagotchi. I remember that was such Tamagotchi. It was Tamagotchi. Yeah, I remember that was such a mad craze.
Speaker 2:I never had one. I think I was just a little bit too young to appreciate.
Speaker 1:I think you did, I think we. I'm a hundred Right, we need another.
Speaker 2:We need a fact checker, fact checker, but I do feel I definitely had a Furby feel. I definitely had a Furby, and I had something later on called a Pixel Chick, which was like she was in a little house. She had an upstairs and downstairs and you used to flip the screen up and down. But I don't think I ever had a Tamagotchi.
Speaker 1:I think you did, because I can remember playing with one myself and I was way too old to have a Tamagotchi, as in like I was helping someone out. I don't think I had a.
Speaker 2:Tamagotchi as in, like I was helping someone out, I don't think I had a Tamagotchi, maybe it was someone else.
Speaker 1:I really yeah, I don't think I did ah, maybe it was like a niece or a nephew or a sister, or brother, because they're not that much older than me it could have actually been my brother or sister, yeah possibly they're more likely to have a Tamagotchi then I would. Yeah, maybe it was.
Speaker 2:I was a little bit after that.
Speaker 1:Maybe A little too young. Anthony wouldn't have had one. Maybe Amanda did. Maybe Amanda did.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it could be a girl or boy toy, though. Yeah, I don't think it was gendered.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, Anthony was never kind of that Just not into that thing. No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2:He was more into the points on this might be where you went wrong.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's because it's coming out in the old, yeah that's what it is. It's an age thing okay, okay, yeah question three we. This is another film question. They're not all film questions because, yeah, there's.
Speaker 1:There's a mix. Film, music and society is what I've kind of gone with. Um, which Gen X movie, oh sorry, which Gen X movie character famously said life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. Was it A John Bender from the Breakfast Club? Was it B Ferris Bueller from Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Was it C Marty McFly from Back to the Future? Or was it D Kevin McAllister from Home Alone?
Speaker 2:um, it's not something Kevin McAllister would say okay he's a small child yeah. I'm stuck between Ferris Bueller and Marty McFly. I have seen why are you ruling John Bender out, because I don't't know who he is.
Speaker 1:Oh, judd Nelson's character in the Breakfast Club. Final scene in the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2:it's no, they say something a bit more poetic than that. Yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Ferris Bueller is all about a car stealing thing and he rides backwards so that like in the, but it does feel like more of a back to future thing. So I'm going to go with C.
Speaker 1:Oh no, ferris Bueller Bugger, because Ferris Bueller, bueller, bueller, he breaks the fourth wall all the way through that film.
Speaker 2:He does, doesn't he?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's what he says to the camera.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:That's the most famous quote from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Speaker 2:I'm mad about that, there off, I'm mad about that. There you go, uh three. Okay, we have paused.
Speaker 1:yeah, we have paused because I'm just choosing whether to, because that one's really easy, okay, oh, oh, how many questions have you got?
Speaker 2:I've just done 10 yeah, yeah, yeah, but I've got eight of each.
Speaker 1:So hold the phone. You can't start. I mean, I can't see it because I am pretty blind, but you can't start like adding questions that you think I'm gonna get I've done 16, just in case. Oh, right, okay, Chill out.
Speaker 2:I'm just choosing from them.
Speaker 1:There's some cheating going on here, no there's not some cheating.
Speaker 2:What phrase did millennials popularise to express a casual refusal or sarcasm?
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Was it A? No cap. B talk to the hand. C bye, felicia, and D whatever.
Speaker 1:Oh God, Because I don't think it's no cap, because no cap when we did the slang episode. It's no cap, is?
Speaker 2:more. This is like going back to one of our previous episodes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, cap is more Gen Z or yeah.
Speaker 2:You're on your own.
Speaker 1:I love the term I know it's just so by Felicia is just awesome. I love that because it's so bitchy, but again, but it's so funny as well at the same time. I think it's by Felicia.
Speaker 2:Ah, you're right. Yes, I thought you were going to talk yourself out of that one.
Speaker 1:No, no, by Felicia, yeah, so by Felicia.
Speaker 2:By Felicia.

Speaker 2:I don't know Because.
Speaker 1:I've only got the answer question right, what question are? We on? Is this five, one, two, three, four? This is question five.
Speaker 2:This is question five, so the next one will be the last of your millennial questions and we're going on to Boomer.
Speaker 1:That's where it's probably going to go horribly wrong. Well, I have got this right because, yeah, never mind. No, sorry, I'm just having a thought in my head about the type of questions whether or not this is the right era. And of course, it is the right era because it's Gen X growing up before your period, isn't it? Yes, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:That was very self-deprecating. Yeah, it really. You mean it's Thursday, actually it's.
Speaker 1:Thursday. Which cartoon series Featured characters Like Lion-O and Mum-Ra? Was it A? Transformers? No, was it B? He-man by the power of Greyskull Could be. Was it C? Thundercats, or was it d gi joe I have no idea the clue's kind of in the name.
Speaker 2:Oh, funny that yeah I mean, they don't sound like transformers at all. Transformers are like optimus prime. Oh, is it Transformers.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, it's not Transformers. I was just looking at the camera, bumblebee.
Speaker 2:They're very like. Well, bumblebee's not, but you know, they're a bit more robot-y.
Speaker 1:I'm going to help you out because you are tating a little bit. I'll read it again which cartoon series featured characters like Lion-O and Mumra? Lion-o like a lion was it transformers, he-man, thundercats or gi joe?
Speaker 2:I'll go thundercats, yes oh, lion thundercats oh, lion, that was a complete guess. Yeah, I, I've never heard of. The only one I've heard of is gi joe and transformers. Really, the other two are lost on me you've never you've heard of he-man oh, yeah, sorry, I've heard of that's how you have your tea. Yeah, obviously, that's the only way I know he-man and evil lynn. So this is your, this is your last. What, evil lynn? Okay, evil lynn um evil lynn skeleton.
Speaker 1:Oh, just as have you seen that um thing on because you don't? Oh, just as have you seen that thing on because you don't really use Facebook, do you? But the thing with Skeletor says until next time oh, okay yeah, until we meet again. Have you seen that like joking? I can't say them on the podcast because some of them are quite rude, but there's, he'll say something random and then run away and go until we meet again.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll send you a couple. Got you Okay?
Speaker 2:Got you? What was the name of the website known for viral flash animations and games that millennials loved? Was it A BuzzFeed B? I can't even pronounce that one. A Bums World. A Bums World.
Speaker 1:E Bums World E Bums world E bums world E bums world E bums world.
Speaker 2:C Newgrounds or D Club Penguin.
Speaker 1:I think it might be A.
Speaker 2:Buzzfeed. Buzzfeed, it wasn't, it was actually C Newgrounds. That's your first wrong question, I think.
Speaker 1:Is it really? I've never heard of that before. Neither have I wrong question, I think. Is it really? No, I've never heard of that before, neither have I. I thought you might. No, never heard of that?
Speaker 2:no, never heard of that. The reason I picked this question was because one of the um one of the options was club penguin and I didn't know. I wanted to discuss whether you knew what club penguin was I don't. Penguin biscuits are club penguin was basically a it was essentially a chat room disguised as a penguin game for young people. You go around as a penguin, you've got your own little igloo that you could decorate with however you wanted, and you had puffles. That was your pet.
Speaker 1:This sounds a bit dodgy.
Speaker 2:Well, it's not dodgy, it just is what it was and they had a chat function on it, so it wasn't a chat room. It had a chat function that you could chat with other penguins. Oh okay, but it was very much like you couldn't swear on it, it would just bleep it out for you.
Speaker 2:Like it would just star it or whatever. But yeah, you could play like little mini games on there, or you could get coins and make your house or you could go like snow tubing and stuff like that, penguin related games and stuff games and stuff Pingu. Yeah, but penguins. That's where my gamer tag comes from, Ah there you go. What's your game? My gamer tag now is Hanshiro oh of course.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2:Back then it was Cute, bertie, it was, wasn't it? It was yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because that's my nickname for you is Bert.
Speaker 2:I don't think mum would allow you to say that.
Speaker 1:That's her nickname. You've adopted it Stolen. Do you know what my gamertag is?
Speaker 2:Something Wales.
Speaker 1:Is.
Speaker 2:Wales related Mammal. No, I actually don't know Ahab's Obsession? Oh, of course it is Ahab's Obsession.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because of Moby Dick. Yes, of course, ahab's Obsession yeah, so it's a very clever game of tag Like it's a little too clever.
Speaker 2:Most people are like suck my cock, or you know, aren't they? Well, they are, aren't they? They're like very like rude and stupid.
Speaker 1:Well, I was when I was when I. That was gonna be one of the first names I thought about for the band yeah, it was ahab's obsession. Because, yeah, but then mammal, not fish, is much more scar kind of yeah, yeah, like real big fish yeah, like real, yeah, exactly yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, so I'm only on three.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're on four, I think I've actually am. I I've actually not written down the last two that I got I'm pretty certain you've got all of them right bar one, so you've got four.
Speaker 1:I'm absolutely shit at this.
Speaker 2:I've amended, See this is why I think the points went wrong.
Speaker 1:I can't trust you.
Speaker 2:I should have done your points for you.
Speaker 1:This is why, when we have a quiz, we need your mum in the room.
Speaker 2:Well, I can keep score. I just think it's crazy that I'd have to keep both of our scores oh god, I've lost my phone.
Speaker 1:Here we are, oh, sunday morning we are on we are on question six. Question six so which artist? Another music question which artist released the song Like a Virgin in 1984?
Speaker 2:I know this one without the thingies. But you can say that Was it A?
Speaker 1:Cyndi Lauper? Nope B, janet Jackson Nope. Was it C? Madonna it was, or was it D? Whitney Houston?
Speaker 2:Madonna, madonna is the correct answer, like a Virgin Dancing for the very first time.
Speaker 1:Have you seen Reservoir Dogs?
Speaker 2:Uh no. Okay, there's a Quentin Tarantino right.
Speaker 1:Yes, quentin Tarantino. So Tarantino films are very heavy dialogue based. Oui, and there is an excellent monologue about the song Like a Virgin by Steve Buscemi's character.
Speaker 2:Oh, I love Steve.
Speaker 1:Buscemi. That monologue is brilliant. I mean, it's so well written and Steve Buscemi delivers it so well, it's really good. I mean, quentin Tarantino films are worth watching just for the dialogue, if you ask me. The action's amazing, storyline's brilliant, but the dialogue is just top notch, absolutely brilliant. Sorry, sorry, slight aside there, no worries, we're going pre-Davey now. We're going boomer questions. These are the ones I'm a little bit worried about, so this is 1946 to 1964.
Speaker 2:Jesus, okay, so which band is often referred to as the Fab Four?
Speaker 1:Oh, I know this one yes.
Speaker 2:Is it the Rolling Stones, is it the Beach Boys, is it the Beatles, or is it?
Speaker 1:the who? Is it the Beatles or is it the who it's?
Speaker 2:the Beatles, it is the Beatles. I didn't know they were referred to as the Fab Four. They were yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, I do now yeah, although it did actually take me quite a while to realise the way that the Beatles is actually spelled as in beat, as in beat of a drum yeah, not beetle as in scuttly little creatures, yeah which is quite a clever band name? Yeah, it is. It was just one of those things where I think I was just listening to them one day and it was like it clicked. Oh, hang on a minute oh yeah, yeah, love the Beatles, do you, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:What's your favourite Beatles track?
Speaker 1:Oh, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
Speaker 2:What a random choice, yeah.
Speaker 1:Maxwell Silverhammer's quite cool as well.
Speaker 2:That is such a why Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?
Speaker 1:Because Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Okay, so this goes back to what we were saying about the, the inner monologue, where we have an inner monologue but we don't yeah yeah, we see things visually. That is why in the start of the song is picture yourself yeah, I can't remember how the song goes, so immediately, I do start that. So I find lucy, the song, lucy in Sky with Diamonds, such a visual song. That's why Because I can, you know, see those images, but they're so weird, it's just awesome.
Speaker 2:That's why I love it. I mean, they were pretty high, right Well.
Speaker 1:Lucy in the Sky. L Lucy in the. Sky S with Diamonds.
Speaker 2:LSD Makes sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Never really thought about that.
Speaker 1:But yeah, yeah, yeah, naughty Beatles yeah, that's my favourite Beatles song, but although Maxwell Silverhammer came down upon his head, bom, bom, bom, maxwell Silverhammer came down and made sure he was dead.
Speaker 2:I quite like I am the walrus, that's quite a great one, great song actually I think my favourite one is either Drive my Car or Come Together.
Speaker 1:Norwegian Wood's quite a cool song as well. Norwegian Wood's good, yeah, because it's a waltz, norwegian Wood, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I was just like come together right now.
Speaker 1:I think it's because I just like singing it here Comes the Sun is quite a nice one as well. That was written by, oh my God, george Michael, george Harrison.
Speaker 2:And I say it's all right, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Speaker 1:Ringo Starr, ringo Starr, ringo Starr, go on then. Thomas the Tank Engine, I want another point, please, you want another point?
Speaker 2:Hopefully you'll get this one.
Speaker 1:Wait, I didn't give myself a point for madonna. So what was the name of the tv series that followed a guy called zach morris?
Speaker 2:zach mooney ham was it boy meets world.
Speaker 1:Was it saved by the bell? Was it beverly hills 90210 or was it my so-called life?
Speaker 2:I'm gonna go the first one boy meets world yeah, no oh, it was saved by the bell.
Speaker 1:I've never seen it, you've never. Oh, we will have to remedy this saved by the bell is awesome, it's awesome oh, I knew I'd fail at this.
Speaker 2:Um, what major global event did boomers grow up with that had frequent duck and cover drills in schools? Was it A World War II, b the Korean War, c the Cold War or D the Vietnam War?
Speaker 1:Well, duck and cover in schools was the Cold War? It was, yeah, because that's more of a Gen X question.
Speaker 2:Well, it says boomers. I don't know how can I, how can I verify any of these? Yeah, that's true, that's true. Yeah, so, because that's me bro that's kind of threw me.
Speaker 1:I was like that was me we had those. Well, I'm sorry, yeah uh, so blame the quiz generator. I am sorry about this question. Oh god, I am sorry about this question because this was something I thought what, what, what? Things happened in the 80s that weren't really obvious but from a society point of view, but that made the news go hither. And there was an incident in 1985 and it was a confrontation between the police and new age travelers near stonehenge and it ended up with a major news story about police brutality right and actually, if I remember rightly, it changed the way police dealt with large-scale confrontations okay, because of this incident, what am I?
Speaker 1:so, yeah, I'm asking what is the name of the confrontation? What was it called?
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, in the news, Like colloquially named.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what was it?
Speaker 2:named. Can I have some choices?
Speaker 1:You can. Indeed Was it the Stonehenge convoy clash.
Speaker 2:Never heard of that.
Speaker 1:Was it the Battle of the Beanfield? Was it skirmish at the Soy Meadow or was it skirmish at the soy?
Speaker 2:meadow? Or was it riot in the crop hollow? All of them sound ridiculous one of them is true and one of them is true one of them, is true, can I have them again, please you can indeed stonehenge convoy clash.
Speaker 1:Battle of the bean field, skirmish at the soy meadow, riot in the crop hollow.
Speaker 2:This was the headline if it's squirmish in this, in this, whatever field I'm gonna, I'm gonna flip my lid, but I'm gonna go with the bean. One battle of the bean field. Yeah, yes, yeah it was called battle of the bean field the squirmish one is funny yeah, it was, it was, it was yes I feel like you tried to catch me out with the stonehenge one. Yeah, um.
Speaker 1:I remember I do remember the news tricks I remember the news story, that one that was actually really bad. Uh, what happened was was a group of new age travelers were going to go to a festival at stonehenge and, uh, they camped up and the police went in and basically beat them up. It was, it was. It was actually really. Yeah, it was, it was really really bad, but a lot of them, the New Age Travellers. After that they then went to Glastonbury, and that is part of the reason why Glastonbury is so big today. Oh, because they went to the Glastonbury, they went to Glastonbury Festival.
Speaker 1:So, of course, them going to Glastonbury actually put Glastonbury is so big I see, yeah, there's a lot to do with that incident yeah, yes, it's called battle of the bean field and the levelers even wrote a song about it, called battle of the bean field makes sense.
Speaker 2:Maybe that's why I've heard of it possibly because it's a song, yeah your next bit of question is which 1950s television show featured a leave it to, leave it to beaver style family dynamic?
Speaker 1:Go on.
Speaker 2:Was it A Happy Days?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:B the Brady Bunch. C Leave it to Beaver. Or D I Love Lucy.
Speaker 1:Leave it to beaver, probably. Yeah, yeah, it is. Yeah, leave it to beaver. That was a stupid question. Indeed, I didn't even understand it, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I've got five. Now, right um six, I feel like you've got six. Yeah, you've only got one wrong. How is this so difficult for you? This is question number seven yeah wait, no, it's question number eight, isn't it.
Speaker 1:We're terrible.
Speaker 2:We we need a quiz master there's no, no, no, what question are on? You've got the question list because.
Speaker 1:Because you're. So one, two, three four, five, six, seven, eight. I'm going to have to say question nine.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, so this is question nine. This is question nine. This makes a lot more sense.
Speaker 1:We've got two more. We really need a quiz master.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is terrible. A silent quiz master, because we don't even have another mic. I know.
Speaker 1:I'll buy one, I'll borrow one. Okay, what environmental disaster in 1986 raised global awareness about nuclear safety? Was it A? Fukushima, was it B? Three Mile Island, was it C?
Speaker 2:Chernobyl yeah, likely Not likely. Yes, why did you stop? Yeah, you stopped. Sorry, you're saying it. Chernobyl yeah, likely Not likely. Yes, why did you stop?
Speaker 1:Yeah, sorry, are you saying it was Chernobyl?
Speaker 2:I haven't even heard your fourth one yet you are terrible.
Speaker 1:I'm just making comments. Was it Canal Catastrophe?
Speaker 2:I'm going to go with Chernobyl just because you tried to stop me and I feel like that was a giveaway.
Speaker 1:Was it Chernobyl? It was a giveaway. Was it Chernobyl? It was Chernobyl. Yes, it was Sorry. I thought you were saying yes, it's that one.
Speaker 2:No, sorry, I don't know why is my pen Okay, it's fine. Okay, we are so bad at this. I feel like I know the answer to these questions, so I know you definitely will. Which US president famously said ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Was it A Lyndon B Johnson? Yeah B Nixon, yeah C Kennedy, mm-hmm D Reagan.
Speaker 1:JFK.
Speaker 2:It was JFK.
Speaker 1:Did you say Regan?
Speaker 2:Reagan.
Speaker 1:Reagan. Is it Reagan?
Speaker 2:Sorry, regan, regan, regan. Sorry, regan, regan, regan, regan. It was Regan, it was Regan. No, you said it was Kennedy, so you get a point yes it was Kennedy. Sorry, sorry, sorry yeah.
Speaker 1:That's how you pronounce it.
Speaker 2:So that was question nine. So this is the last question, right?
Speaker 1:This is the last question. Scores on the doors.
Speaker 2:Scores on the. We're so shit at this. I know you're winning, so it doesn't matter, I can't catch up. You've won, let's just do the last freaking question I've had enough of you.
Speaker 1:This has gone horribly wrong. What's the last question? The last question what 1980s UK TV show used puppets to for satire? Can't say puppets for satire regarding politicians and celebrities. Was it A? Have I got news for you? Was it B? The young ones C, spitting image or D? Not the nine o'clock news?
Speaker 2:Oh. So puppets, so the whole thing was just puppets spitting image would be funny, because if the puppets look like the politicians, that would be quite a cool name for that. But I feel like the last one as well could be plausible so I think it's either c or d. I'm gonna go with c c is correct.
Speaker 1:Yay, spitting image. Have you never seen spitting image? You never heard of it? See, this is what gets. It's like some of the things that I obviously grew up with that you've never experienced and never seen. Crazy, it's nuts to think that you know spitting image was such a well. Basically everybody watched spitting image and it brought politics to a ridiculous level which made everybody laugh. And there's nothing like that anymore.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Sorry to have yeah, yes.
Speaker 1:So my final question Failed you.
Speaker 2:That was your final question, so I've actually won, haven't I?
Speaker 1:Well, you have, but you can have your final questions.
Speaker 2:Which popular dance craze of the 1960s involved twisting your hips? Was it A the hustle, b the Macarena, c the twist or D the moonwalk? It was the twist, it was the twist. I knew the answer to the more boomer questions than I knew of your bloody Gen X ones. Mine were too easy.
Speaker 1:Mine were quite hard, I must admit.
Speaker 2:Why did you do that to me? You just wanted to win.
Speaker 1:I did no, I didn admit. Why did you do that to me? You just wanted to win. I did no, I didn't no, no, I was just thinking. But the thing is, everyone who's my age will have got all of those questions right.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:You hope? Yeah, would have got all of those questions right.
Speaker 2:Well, we hope you enjoyed our really mashed up together, really badly appointed quiz questions for each other where we weren't really keeping score. But we know that davey won somehow, even though he neglected to keep score. I think you only got one wrong. Honestly, I think you got nine out of ten. Okay, yeah, there you go nine out of ten. I I'm pretty certain I kept score very well and I got seven, which I don't think is that bad no um you did very well.
Speaker 2:You did very well yeah, I thought I got more wrong than what that it felt. It felt like I had more on that. Maybe.
Speaker 1:Maybe I gave myself some extra points, but maybe we do need to invest in another microphone and maybe we do need the next quiz. We do.
Speaker 2:We need your mum here yeah, I don't want to think about how the setup's going to be for that with uh, with all, all banner here yeah we'll have to think about that one, yeah.
Speaker 1:Hang, her.
Speaker 2:Hang, her.
Speaker 1:Sort of like Mission Impossible style.
Speaker 2:Like Tom Cruise, she could come down from the ceiling and just hover. You know she'd be all over that she wouldn't mind that She'd love that Exactly.
Speaker 1:Or, if not, your mum, because your mum's out paddle boarding today.
Speaker 2:Yeah, think Mitchell would be up for it. No, he's golfing. He doesn't want to be on the podcast. It's fine, stop.
Speaker 1:I keep prodding, stop podding him. I keep prodding Stop prodding him.
Speaker 2:He won't want to do it. He won't want to do it.
Speaker 1:We are going to call him one day, though, when he's on the golf course. I'm going phone set up if you call him whilst he's on the golf course knowing that you're here with me he'll probably think shit, she's died, that's true actually, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's no way you would normally call him unless there was a problem. Yeah, that's true. That's just get the shit out of him, yeah anyway.
