Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could keep up with these
Speaker 2: other trivia guys. These are the champions of Seinfeld Trivia,
Speaker 2: and they were profiled by The Wall Street Journal. The
Speaker 2: journal piece leads off with this question. In season one
Speaker 2: of Seinfeld, Jerry secures this apartment dour with what he
Speaker 2: calls the most impenetrable lock on the market. What brand
Speaker 2: is it?
Speaker 3: No Idea?
Speaker 2: That's when I look at my team and I go
Speaker 2: no idea, and I go back to drinking my beer. Well,
Speaker 2: Mike is one of these trivia guys. It's good at
Speaker 2: Seinfeld Trivia. He told the Journal. It was almost like
Speaker 2: I've been waiting for this question to pop up. The answer,
Speaker 2: of course, the clapgo. D twenty nine, Mike and four
Speaker 2: of his friends are on a team called Venetian Blinds.
Speaker 3: How do they practice?
Speaker 2: One of the team members falls asleep two episodes, hoping
Speaker 2: details stick in his head. Another listens to the show's
Speaker 2: audio while working out and showering.
Speaker 3: At one point, the team won.
Speaker 2: A six foot aluminum poll, among other prizes, that was
Speaker 2: part of a festiv Us theme trivia contest last December.
Speaker 2: One of the guys on the team, Joe, said, I
Speaker 2: feel like by the time I'm eighty years old, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be the guy with the Seinfeld room. Amy Schumer
Speaker 2: likes when we talk about her. She was on Instagram.

Speaker 2: back into a casual bun, Amy Schumer kept the look
Speaker 2: effortless and unfiltered. Meanwhile, Kathy Griffin is now a blonde.
Speaker 2: Fans weren't sure did she dye her hair as at

Speaker 2: you guys, it's Kathy Griffin as a blonde. She then
Speaker 2: encouraged people to check out her Talk Your Head Off
Speaker 2: with Kathy Griffin YouTube show, where she discusses her decision
Speaker 2: to go blonde. The worst person who ever lived?
Speaker 3: Jay Leno back in the news. Remember there was this
Speaker 3: whole thing.
Speaker 2: Jay Leno has been battling against California's emissions regulators. Well,
Speaker 2: Leno's law has found its way back into the state Senate.
Speaker 2: Right now, California draws a hardline at nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 2: Anything built before nineteen seventy five can potentially sidesteps and
Speaker 2: smock testing requirements, providing it's not like an everyday car
Speaker 2: and it's just for like parades and car shows and
Speaker 2: stuff like jay Lena would do. Under the proposed changes
Speaker 2: to the law, the collector vehicle threshold would shift to
Speaker 2: any car at least thirty five years old, with the
Speaker 2: cutoff creeping ford one model year at a time until
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. That would eventually move the exemption all
Speaker 2: the way up until nineteen eighty six. Doesn't sound unreasonable
Speaker 2: to me. At the Melbourne Comedy Festival, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of magic shows during the daytime, so if you're free
Speaker 2: on Friday again with the Melbourne stuff, I have to
Speaker 2: work a day ahead because of the way time zones work.
Speaker 2: But if you're free round twelve thirty, go see Barry

Speaker 2: gave it five stars and called it incredible Kiddo mag
Speaker 2: four stars presumably out of four, they said fun and
Speaker 2: surprise filled. Got a couple actual clips for you today.
Speaker 2: Dave Thornton's show was called More or less Ny Gouz.
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of her in my family about
Speaker 4: getting a dog, and look, I get it.
Speaker 3: I grew up with a dog. It's great.
Speaker 4: And like you dog owners, I reckon you speak more
Speaker 4: complimentary about your dogs than most parents talk about their kids,
Speaker 4: Like seriously, you say stuff like, uh, it's my fur baby,
Speaker 4: it's my fur baby. I call my kids my flesh
Speaker 4: beets not as nice. And the only thing is we
Speaker 4: live in a built up area. I saw the dogs
Speaker 4: around us. They're small, which is fine, but they're the
Speaker 4: kind of dogs you know that humans have bred them
Speaker 4: to just be structurally unsound, Like near us there's a pug. Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Pugs just shouldn't exist like that. You know,
Speaker 4: historically they used to have snouts. They did, We've now
Speaker 4: bred them to be nostrils straight into skull. Like this
Speaker 4: poor thing, it struggles to breathe. I feel so sorry
Speaker 4: for it. It jumps up on your lap and it's
Speaker 4: like and the owner's like, oh, I think Toby likes you.
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking, yeah, well, if he was a car
Speaker 4: to be on roadworthyst.
Speaker 2: And let's do one more. I think there might be
Speaker 2: a naughty word in here. I can't remember from when
Speaker 2: I pulled it earlier. There might be a naughty word,
Speaker 2: So if you're offended, punch out now. But otherwise I
Speaker 2: really like this clip from Nathan Chin. His share was
Speaker 2: called the Chinese Comedy Party.
Speaker 1: Look, just before I begin, I just want to quickly
Speaker 1: start off by also acknowledging the traditional owners of the
Speaker 1: land in which we gather here today, the wandery people
Speaker 1: of the Cooler Nation, and I pay my respects to
Speaker 1: their elders, pass and present, but also have to acknowledge
Speaker 1: the true owners of the land, the Central Equity Chinese
Speaker 1: property group. Pay my rent to their developers, pass and present. Ah,
Speaker 1: gotta say both, now you know what I mean, just
Speaker 1: in case they're listening, because you know, I'm actually quite
Speaker 1: proud to be an Asian Australian. But it's annoying because
Speaker 1: when I tell people I'm Aussie, I get the same
Speaker 1: response that so many people have Colla Gate, and that's
Speaker 1: a yeah, sure, but where you're really from?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: And I think that's it's a really stupid question to
Speaker 1: ask me, considering that in about ten years time, this
Speaker 1: is what the average Australian will look like. Right, Some
Speaker 1: of you they aren't laughing at that. Ah, that's a
Speaker 1: joke about the Chinese taking over Australia. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you don't think he's a joke, in which case
Speaker 1: you really should appreciate the freedom to laugh where you
Speaker 1: still can.
Speaker 2: How a on a plane, it sounds like a lot
Speaker 2: of fun, And don't forget Today is the last day
Speaker 2: of voting for this week's round of Comedy Survivor Sebastian
Speaker 2: manascalgo in Massive trouble.
Speaker 3: If you want him out, join the crew.
Speaker 2: If you want to save him, get some friends and

Speaker 2: I'll catch you tomorrow.
