Oh, you're all up there on your high horse, because you're all on a pod today. It's Matt and Alex. Yes, it is Matt and Alex. Yeah, boys, we are here on a Thursday gearing up for a very fun episode. Dice time, bring him back a little quiz for you. Got a special Thursday quiz, which I'm quite excited about. Just a little cutie. Who thought the only thing he could win was tickets to a massive rave with sick artists

1:00by listening to this show? No, you can also win Pride by taking out Maddo Kines' quiz. He does a good quiz. Also gives good advice. And I want to get his advice on something as well today. Oh, please. Let's do it. It's going to be a fun episode. Let's dive in. Matt and Alex, the podcast. Everyone ready? We go. So excited. Yes, Matt. I was introduced to a brand new member of the Dyson Households. This week. My wonderful partner Annalise. On the video chat, staying with her mom, giving her a visit, that's good. And she got a present from a family member. I was introduced to it on video. It is a figurine of a skateboarding pig. I was like, oh, nice to meet you. She was like, yep, that's what I got. And I said, yep, that's what you got. And we both had a bit of a silence because we know in the relationship that we have different interior design tastes.

2:01Okay. So when it comes to this, we both knew what was going on in the situation. And that was, I probably wasn't as thrilled as she was to have a new friend in the household. But yet to have a name. I'm not sure. Oh, actually, you know what? I've already got his name. Tony Pork. And that's great. I was trying to think of like Skater Hogg. I was trying to think of things that rhymed with boy. I'm like Skater Hoi. Tony Pork, as he will now and forever be known, is going to be in the carry on baggage, making his way back to the Dyson Wilson household. Now, that's fine. That's totally fine. But as a foster dad to, I think about three or four llamas, we have a mug in the shape of a smiling piece of toast.

3:04We have a cat with a fat belly. We have a cloud night light with a smiling face. Tony Pork is going to be joining. I think his inclusion in the house is going to make it a miniatur. I think we are officially going to tip over in to menagerie. And when you are talking about all sorts of things, whether it's super political or something like this, this term comes up a lot of the time. It's a slippery slope. It's a very slippery slope to the point where I just want to come to you early. I want to come to you early, Mato Kine. I trust you. I trust your judgment. You've been in a relationship with a long time. You lived with your partner and previous partners for a very long time. How to analyse a night and negotiate these sort of differences and what compromises can both of us, because it's not, you know, just to have Alex Dyson's things in there. That's not what you want to do in a house. But is there a way where we can compromise on some things

4:04in order to maintain the harmonious household with a couple of cute characters? You know, we can have a couple of cute characters, but we're getting bloody close to not having enough shelf-space. You know, above the fireplace, all of them. What are they called? The little... The mantles? Mantles? We're starting to fill up the mantles. And I'm all for immigration, man. Oh, you know. It does add flavour, personality to the household. But I'm about going to have to have a closed door policy. I'm going to have to evoke a ring of steel around this place. What do you reckon, mate? As someone with a partner who loves things with little faces on them. Bro, do you love things with little faces on them? Oh, yeah. What is it about things with little faces on them? Yeah, I do. We have a little pinch pot with a face on it, a little salt pinch pot with a face on it, basically. So for your loves things with little faces on them as well?

5:04Because Belinda loves things with little faces on them. Think you go. Okay, so you want some advice, right, so? Yeah. How do we ensure that we don't become... We don't become a household that is too crowded with smiling little faces. Okay, here's what I'm going to do. I want you to close your eyes. Okay. And I want you to imagine a small studio apartment. Okay? Now there is a single cheap TV stand in the lounge room. Mm-hmm. And there is a TV on it. Mm-hmm. And there is a gaming system, loosely stashed underneath the TV. Now, there is also two milk crates in the lounge room. And they're just in front of the single, unmade mattress that is on the floor of this. Is there a bed frame?

6:04No. There's no bed frame. Okay. Mm-hmm. And now I need you to understand that this palace that you're living in with no art on the walls, no plants on the balcony. That's where you're going to be living soon. If you open your goddamn mouth and say a goddamn thing about Annalise's little smiley toys, okay? Here are bits and pieces. Don't you dare. You're going to shut up. You're going to make room and you're going to deal with it. Yeah. I have to go out and buy some more manchels. It's not what I'm going to have to do. You know, you want to solve this problem, Daiso? Buy a bigger house. Yeah. Right? That's a solution to this problem. We do not get rid of things in this house. Yeah. We accumulate until we suffocate.

7:04Well, this is the issue and this is why, like, when I get introduced to Tony Pork, like I wasn't there at the very start, you've got to, and I'm sure farmers would know this, as soon as you start creating memories with Tony Pork, you're never leaving. Tony Pork is going to be sitting next to you at 84 years old as the nurses turn off the life support. Are you going to close the bin lid as Tony Pork stares up at you, probably doing some, you know, 920 or whatever it is. Yeah. 900. Yeah, 900. No. Can't say goodbye to you, Tony. And then, because this is our children and our children's children, will suddenly feel obligated to keep Tony Pork around. Yeah, Bronn, are you the accumulator in your household? Do you accumulate? Uh, yeah, I've got some knickknacks. Just a few. What knickknacks? No, nothing crazy. What I'm thinking of is, I'm a, well, one of them is a signed picture of Theresa Judeis,

8:04which is a housewife of New Jersey. Oh, thank you. And that's, that's in our living. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Like the statue, like the painting of Mary Magdalene on the wall. Thank God. Yeah. You saw the real housewife. So is that sitting up next to like baby photos of your child Chloe? Um, we actually don't have any baby photos of. To be honest. No, it's not framed. It's like, it's, it's on her bookshelf. So it's just like up there amongst our Chloe's bookshelf. Sorry. On Chloe's book, you've, you've taken over Chloe's face. She's got like a playroom. So for young girls to look up to, you could have like Amelia Ehards or Marie Curie. Come on of the real. You know, you know, housewives of New Jersey. And what's bad is like Steve's wanted to put up some Richmond posters. Oh, yeah. I put it in a, like at least Perry or something.

9:04Oh my god. We don't live in a flat house. You can put your posters in the garage. I'm not having that in the house. But it's not the law. It's disgusting. Anyway. And then you put a reality TV star in your daughter's playroom. But it's not, it's not like send it. It's like amongst other things, you know? Yeah, of course. It's next to your below decked signs uniform. Captain James on the wall. Actually, I have a t-shirt of one of the captains. Oh my god. I was joking, Ron. What? This is unbelievable. Okay. Could I just ask if Steve bought home like a framed signed Richmond jersey? Would that go on the wall? No, that's also outside. Oh. This is why bloody Batman's got fortresses of solitude. Man caves. Why can't the women go and live in the caves? Why are we in the caves? Why do we have to put our stuff up in the caves?

10:04I'd love to have a secondary outdoor space. I'm happy to have something. A shrine. A reality TV shrine. I mean, like what? I'll, blender will be like, what's this? And I'll be like, oh, it's something that I just got from, you know, something, you know, it's, I just haven't put it away yet. So we're like, well, you need to put it away now, you know, can you put it away? And I'll be like, where? I have not, there is literally not an inch in this house that I could possibly put it away. I'm bursting at the sink. I have every cupboard is jam packed with stuff. What's in the drawers? Oh, everything. Little, I mean, I don't want to out, blender. Shall we furious it? I'm talking about those. I'll be like this set of stools that it's in the cupboard. I'm like, what is the, we already have stools. And she'll be like, yeah, but I like those stools. No one's sitting on them. I've always still got stools. Chests, lamps, everything.

11:04It's accumulation. And look, it is fine. We can welcome Tony into the home. But there is only one item which I've put the foot down on, which I may have mentioned. And that is the analog wall clock, which every hour starts singing a, it's a small world after a whole type, type fig. It's light activated, so it doesn't start until 6am. But it only took one wake up for me to go, we might put this one in the cupboard. That's okay. It's a small world after all in the cupboard. I bought Belinda a, a cookbook clock for her recent birthday. From that shop? Yes, in Tamarind Mountain, yes. The big cookbook clock shop. Drove all the way up to the town Tamarind to get it for her. And I don't mind a little cookoo. But no, what I will say, is that up? Is that up in the house? Yeah, but she's turned the cookooing off. And what I will say is, I will happily let Belinda completely take over in this round because if it was up to me, I would be living in the milk crate,

12:10atlas, squalor, squalor. And so, thank you to my dear Belinda. Thank you for everything the love, care and attention that you bring to the house and those little smiling faces. Yeah. Make me smile every day. Mow, mow, mow, mow, mow, mow, mow. McDonald's is putting value back on the menu.

Sun rises, prices fall. Get a sausage mac muffin with egg or sausage egg and cheese macrittles. Small hot coffee and hash frowns for just six dollars. Price and participation may vary. Promotion pricing may be lower than meal pricing. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba-ba. Yes, I did promise a quiz, Alex Dyson. Very excited to be premiering a brand new game show here on the Matt and Alex podcast.

13:16This is the first time it's ever been played anywhere in the world and I am. So excited. That's fantastic. Yes, I know, I know. I am the game master. This is... What are the Australia's most watched TV shows? You didn't realize it's tipping point. They dropped those little discs down the thing and they land on the thing. There's a quiz element of that as well. You could be on to the world's next big quiz show format. Should we be excited about this? Some quiz masters use their quizzing for good, but then they're the evil ones. You know, those ones that have trapped people in their layers and they're like, you can only get out if you solve these puzzles. But not these questions three. Yeah, exactly. I'm a good one. Here is our very first ever. Original Matt and Alex quiz. This is called Yay or Nay. Hit the music. Yay, your Nay. Which one's gonna pay?

14:17So there you go. There you have it. Is Yay or Nay? Which one's gonna pay? Have you got someone to play? No, you and Bronner playing. Don't have a listener or something? No, we tried to call some listeners no one replied. So it's just you two. All right, Bronner. I bet they don't have this problem on the tipping point. Do they? Imagine if Todd Woodbridge just came on and said, no one responded to our ads. We've got no audience today. Sorry. Okay, so here we go. Here are the rules, Bronner. You ready to play? I'm ready. Yay or Nay? Any beat answer is very simple. It will involve some kind of yay or some kind of nay. Okay, that's sneezing, but he's pressing his own coffee. It puffs up. So I'm just watching his face explode. Wow. And then here in silence. Link, you could have to put the sneezing Santa Fexian because Matt muted him. Okay, test round.

15:18And did Matt O'Conn just sneeze now? Yeah. Are we doing names of others? You should answer with your name, Al. Alex. Yay. Yeah, okay. Bron, you were right. Okay, what about this? Is Matt O'Conn a dog fan? Alex. Nay. Okay, there we go. So we get the game, right? Okay. So it's true or false? No, it's yay or nay. Alex does. Yeah, but essentially it's an affirmative or a negative or a true or a false or a yay or nay. So it's not really in a regional format. I don't know why in my head I thought it was going to be like, what sound does a horse make? Like, no. Damn it. Look, I thought it was going to be one of the questions. Now I got to scrap that. Thanks. Thank you very much. Todd Woodbridge, breathe the gun sigh, Everly. He is not going to lose his job to the sexy new format. This is looking unlikely here, but no, give it a go still.

16:23Okay. That's a question you got left. Can the quiz become, can we try and guess what questions you were going to ask us? No. Okay, we are going, guys. Okay, we're going to ask us, what does someone yell if they're having a good time? No, no, I wasn't. I thought about it, but I knew that would be too easy. All right, here we go. Question number one, what does Chrissy Teigen say about homists, yay or nay? Alex. Oh, that was a tight wake up. The brun, I think you just got me. I'll say nay. I would have said nay as well. Ding, ding, ding, that is correct. It is nay in 2013 interview. She said, homists was the most overrated snack alive. Wow. So there you go. She paid a little bit of that, Alex, second 2015, 16. Right. You never realize who you've got things in common with. Okay. Question number two, an authentic ragu, bolognaise sauce.

17:27Traditionally, users dry white wine, yay or nay. Alex. Oh, you're so close. I'm going to give it to Alex this time because he humbly gave you the one last time. Yay. Because I was assuming it doesn't, which makes me think it's a question that would be that it does. Yay. Yay is correct. Traditionally, bolognaise sauce does use dry white wine instead of red wine. Bron, have you been chucking red wine in your bolognaise? I do like a red in the bolognaise. Yeah. Okay. And in the glass next to the bolognaise. Sure. And in the term. Yeah. Question number three, after Jules Neal and Tess Crossley, both did tell all interviews in the lead up to the AFL final series last week, was journalist Caroline Wilson a fan of their timing.

18:27Alex. And they. They is correct. Caroline Wilson being quite scathing of their decisions to do this. How I know that is I scrolled past the headline on news.com and it's like every second headline, it was these two women slammed. Yeah. Someone was slammed. Did she really slam them? Well, look, actually, I've got to say that I think that she slammed them more than I would. I was quite surprised by the slamming. So she said why in an era where social media and their hits reign supreme, why they chose to communicate their private lives in this way. She said, I don't have any clue on whether this will affect Locking Neal or whether I care whether it affects Brisbane's finals campaigns. Norm, I take sides. Now this is what she got slammed for. So there was a slamming of the slamming. Yeah. A reverse slamming. Okay. Can you imagine that many people were very sympathetic of the finals campaign considering what had taken place?

19:30Being mentioned in the same section as the adultery on the other side of the... Yes. ...from a grown adult. And also, Jules Neal revealed that she'd gotten a hey, girly DM in the lead up for that. I didn't know what a hey, girly DM was. Bron, did you know? Yeah, I think it's when people DM women if their partner is caught doing something unto us. Cheating, saying, hey, you want to be honest and let's know. I didn't realise that that was like a way of describing it. For grown men to have their actions, they'd worry about it's how it's affecting their finals campaign when the people that they've made up said talk about it. That's pretty ridiculous. But also, there is something to be said. Like, oh, you don't need to eat your personal lives, except for us, Mato Kain, because we've got to do five episodes a week. And so there's no wonder that when the cupboard is bad, you go, oh, what else I probably shouldn't. Okay, here it is. Here we go. Okay, we're getting deep. Partly epidermis into the dermis now. Pulling some stuff out of the freezer every now and then.

20:33Okay, this thrilling new game show continues. That's right, forgot where the wig Australia's greatest new quiz. Here. It's totally original format. Question number four. What is the Greek word for grandmother? A brun. Brun? Yeah, yeah. It is, yeah, yeah. Which sort of is like, yay, yay. There we go. Okay, that is question number four. Well, it's too old. It is too old. It is too old, which is why we have a big, big question. We already dumped the question that was going to be the time break up. Okay, here we go. Alex, nay, what's the same name? Here we go. Here we go. Can we get some serious music here, please? Some serious intense music here we go to find out who is going to take out the win. Question number five.

21:34Yay or nay? Who am I? Born in Texas in 1969, my first break was in Ben Stiller's day boom, directorial movie, Reality Bites. Before going on to start in return of the Texas Chainsaw massacre alongside Matthew McConaughey. This was then followed by lead roles in Geriomaguaya and Bridget Jones' diary. I also start in Chicago and I don't have any more clues for you because I've not you would have guessed it by now. Okay, Chicago movies, Geriomaguaya. Bridget Jones' diary. Oh, Alex, Alex, Alex. Alex, take it away. René, Zillwicker. René. René, Zillwicker. Yay, you are the official champion. Yay or nay.

22:34Yay! Yay! It is compulsory to say yay when you win. Yay or nay, well done. Ron, how do you feel about that? Nagle. Yay! All right, here we go. Congratulations. We might have to get someone else to join us in actual... Oh, we're doing that again. Well, if you would like to play yay or nay, please get in touch with the show.
