Our categories tonight are category number one, bullet time, bullet time, category number two, number one ticket holders, category number three, on your bike, category four, zoos and wildlife parks, and category number five, video game movies. Right? Bullock time, number one ticket holders, on your bike, zoos and wildlife parks, video game movies. Who's going to kick us off tonight? Dave from Forkabridge is first up. Dave, good evening to you. Welcome back. Hello, Dave. What's going on?
Have we got you? No, he's disappeared on the side. What about Ann Marie from Daniel? Hi, Ann Marie. Hello, feel how easy one. Oh, hi, everyone. That's right. What do you like, Ann Marie? Bullock time, number one ticket holders, on your bike, video game movies, zoos and wildlife parks. On your bike. On your bike. All right, which motorcycle company? Manufactures, the super low. Um, triumph. Which one? Triumph? No. Not triumph. Sorry, Ann Marie. No, not not. Bye, feel. Goodbye, everyone. I see you. Yeah. Yeah, Nick from Budgie, Roy on the central coast. Can I, Nick? Feel, hi. All right. Yes, no, not bad. That's good. On your bike, which motorcycle company? Manufactures, the super low.
It's not triumph. Paulie, Dave, it's correct. The golden rule, the golden rule of the mighty challenge, if in doubt, say the only thing you do know, that's wrong. It doesn't always work. Let me warn you. Question number two. I was going to say you're going to be hearing the same answer a lot of times. Question number two. Thanks, by the way, all the people texting in about birds. Take it from me, Darryl Jones is an expert in these matters and his research about people feeding birds has taken him most of his research career. So his warning is about birds and saying we don't know what's going to happen is simply because we don't. We have observed what's happened in other countries though. Nick, question two. On your bike, but you can move, if you like. Number one ticket holders, bullet time, zoos and wildlife parks, video game movies. I like to go with the video game movies, I think.
Okay, that's all right. I'm sorry, I'm glad you're pumping yourself up here, Nick. Yeah, well, I don't like any of these topics. Oh, really? I'm going to say that. Yeah, no, no, I think they're all terrible. Well, as a kid, as a kid when you were served up a meal, did you say I don't like any of this? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Question number two. It never ended well. No, Nick, that's right. Haha. Question number two, video game movies, actually employed as a plumber in his youth. Which English actor played Mario in the 1993 Super Mario Brothers movie?

Chris and the Southern Wartises, our Philover, got a few friends in Nepal, and the way they say the word is most like this, Nepal. Yeah, well anyway. We're all saying Nepal until, like many people who laugh from that beautiful country, says Nepal is the way we pronounce it, so that's the only reason. I think across the ABC, we went from saying Nepal to Nepal. 1380, 800, triple two. Now where are we? Brian from Rocky, I've got you Jason from Morewell, hello Jason. That's a good one Phil. Not bad.

Doesn't have the same quarter of a matter of generality. It's a man from Sarri Ruba just. Molga Bill's Bicycle. No. No. We can all recite. I'll read a little bit. What was the... There was movement at the station for the word had passed around that the cult from old regretted got away and joined the world bush horses. He was worth a thousand pounds. So all the cracks from near and far had gathered to the fray. An offered goes. Still on a ride ain't. I wouldn't have got that far. But the Australian English was like...

Question number seven. We're in on your bike if you like. Yeah on the bike. In Olympic team pursuit cycling. How many riders make up a team? I can't remember this exact number. I thought it might have been three or four. I'll say four. Correct. Yes it's four. Leeroy from Penroth has started this off. To his mulgabill from Eagle Hawk who caught the cycling craze. If anybody wants to go on they can because that's as far as I can get.

Can I bring it to mind? Not turning up? No. Okay Dave, thank you mate. See you. Steve the Truckee said in relation to that motorcycle Darius question. It's called the fastest Indian. Gee, that was a great movie. I'd highly recommend it. I don't know whether it's still, is it on some streaming service? Probably, yes. You can't always be sure that nor always on streaming. If you ever get a chance to have a look at it though, it's called the world's fastest Indian.
It's not necessarily what you think. But it's a really terrific movie. Uh, fantastic about a plucky, plucky crew. And what happens when they set their mind to it? The world's fastest Indian. It's called. All right, question number 10. Uh, do we know where are we? George from Melville in WA. Can I, George? I feel like a joke for you. Yeah. You hear about the restaurant on the moon? Good food. Oh, come on, I had good food now, atmosphere. Come on, George. That is about as old as, old as Noah and his arc. Yeah. I watched the doctors the backline TV the first half.

This from Forest Lodge says it's hard to believe, but Georgia Maloney, Italy's Prime Minister, has broken the record for the longest uninterrupted tenure as head of government in the history of democratic Italy. Is that right? Well, gee, I know, because they turn over governments, faster than socks and jocs in Italy. I know. Gee, who is?
Is Georgia Maloney the longest serving Prime Minister in the history of democratic Italy? That's ever since the war. Well, all right. By the way, text from Kate, thank you, Kate. The world's fastest Indian can be found on SBS on demand, which is, SBS is a great place for movies anyway. If you ever checked it out, SBS, great place for movies. Okay, SBS on demand. They have got the world's fastest Indian. I think it's a really great movie, but I would hardly recommend it.

Have you ever seen salt at all? Salt, yes, I've seen salt. You mean salt burn? Pretty cool. Salt burn, you mean? No, no, no, I mean salt, where she plays, um, oh, no, no, sorry, I haven't seen no. She's an XCIA agent, and she goes through a lot of action as well, but it's just amazing, and beautiful. The other thing I was going to say, while I have you, I also cost, hello Dave, if you're listening, is the thing about Italy?
Yeah. Right, so they said a record for something in Italy. Yeah, longer serving promise, the Georgia Maloney, ever. A lot of serving promise, forever. I'm trying to realize, they have like, you know, the turnover of like, it's quicker than what, I don't know, the last six months and Australia, between 1998 and 2007, we, they had more prime ministers changing parties, changing, it's not hard to make a record. I know, I know, that's, I think that's, I think that's more than a couple of years. That's the argument. Question number 11, Michael. Question. All right. All right. What are we into?

Not for that much longer. I'm just trying to, maybe I can help the next person along. There's a lady who does do, she did the voice for major in the anime series. Michael, do you know, no, you don't know the answer.
All right, Michael will leave it there, but thank you, 1-300, 800, to Ripple. Two Paulses, the India's fastest world's fastest Indian. That'd be an Indian scout, would it not be? Yes, it would be.

And it goes like this, there was movement at the stations for the word had gone around that the cult from old regretted passed away. And that was it. He died. So they didn't have to chase him.

Hello, Bess. How are you? I have rarely been better, Betty. What have you, oh, really been better? That's a right. You tell me you're a crook. Well, no, actually it's not a bad run this year. I was crook for a while. A bit of an scratchy throat, which was pretty horrible to listen to for a few days. But apart from that, I've been pretty good. Yeah. Have you been all right this year, Betty? You've been laid low. Now, been good. Yeah, good on you. I haven't had it, but I don't go away. I don't go out that much.

Yeah, I love, I always like the bed. And I sit in my office and think of cleansing. That's right. And I'd like to change his cleansing. I always had a disorder. I would have liked to go on driving.
Remember how it starts, Betty? I had written him a letter which I had for want of better knowledge. And an answer came expected and a manner on to, and some of the thumbnail dipped in tar. Yeah, you've got to rip it off. Clancy's got a driving and we don't know where he are. I often listen to them because they're very detainee. And he was a terrific author, wasn't he? Yeah, no, he was. Now, Clancy is a fantastic poem all about the city and the country. And yeah, dreams of doing something else in your life. Now, Betty, question 13, we're in video game movies.

Which 2025 video game movie stars Jason Mamoah, Jack Black, Emma Myers? Absolutely no idea. Well, that's a fair answer. See you, Joey. Bye. Bye. Yes, that's right, Tracy. The other lines from McClancy. Because the driver's life has pleasures that the town's folk never know. And the endless round eternal of the checkbook and the journal.
Love that line. That's right. Thank you, Susan and Hobart. I had written him a letter which I had for want of better knowledge, sent to where I met him down the lockland years ago. He was shearing when I knew him, so I sent the letter to him. Just on spec, addressed as follows. Clancy of the overflow. Marvelous, Marvelous thing. Alrighty, where are we?

And mostly it's been, this is going to be the best time of your life. So there you go. Absolutely. Question 13, which 2025 video game movie stars Jason Mamoah, Jack Black, Emma Myers? Well, as soon as I heard the topics tonight, I thought I'll call up for some self-flagulation tonight.
I have absolutely not the latest idea. I wouldn't even know where to begin and, in fact, that's it. Better pass it on to the next person. See you, Tony. Bye-bye. Thank you. Yes. No, we need someone who can help us out with this video game movies. Who would know? Norbert in Perth would know this. Hello, Phil. It's been a little minutes since we've spoken last. You sound a lot better than you did back then. Oh, I know. I have a little scratchy throat. Oh, I had me. Yeah. No, no. At least you beat us. No, I have knocked out of it. It's one of the worst things last longer than you were thinking. I've had mine for the last month and a half and I'm still coughing. Really? Oh, it's not fun. I don't know what it is and the doctors don't know either. Oh, it's no good. Anyway, look after yourself. Tell me, which 2025 video game movie stars Jason Mamoa Jack Black, Emma Myers?
The only reason I know this is why I would be living it if I got it wrong and pretty sure it's the Minecraft movie. It is. It is a Minecraft movie. Very good. All right. Well, that's it for video game movies. Thank heavens I can hear many people say. I'm not afraid. Ross from school as we says. Come on, everyone. Everyone's heard of Minecraft surely. Well, I don't know about that. Ross, I don't think everyone's heard of all sorts of things. No, but question number 14. You've got a choice of zoos and wildlife parks. Number one ticket holders. Bullet time. That's an interesting one. I am going to try bullet time. Bullet time. Question number 14. Bullet time was the name of a famous special effect from which 1999 movie? Super easy. This one. It's from the Matrix. It is. The Matrix thing with Neo and Agent Smith.
When to describe what they do again. You've basically got them trying to shoot at each other. They're able to move so quickly that basically they have them moving in real time and it looks like the bullets are going slow motion. You've got bullet time as a result of that. Yes, exactly. Exactly. It's a captivating special effect from the 1999 movie, The Matrix. Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world where none suffered or everyone would be happy? Some believe that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world, but I believe that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world would dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from, which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this.
The peak of your civilization. Avalucia. Morpheus. Avalucia. Yeah, I quite like watching it. The Matrix, but I didn't understand it. I never understand these complicated movies. I just explained to what's going to happen with AI eventually. Oh, well, that's him, maybe. That's... I can't... I'm struggling with that too, Norbert. Question 15. We're in bullet time, if you like. Yeah, we can stick with bullet time, I think. Also the title of a 2022 action movie, by what name is the Shin Kansen, more commonly known in English? The bullet train. Correct. The bullet train, yes. Bullet. What are you starting by? Brad Pitt, I believe. Was Brad Pitt in it? Yeah, probably was, yeah. By the way, feminist activist Gloria Steinem's died. She was 92. On her way. Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know if you made Bernie Sanders and honorary woman. Because he actually cared about ladies. Yeah. Yeah, well, they would see I do I think on many things. Gloria Steinem hugely influential woman in that second... What do they call this sort of second wave feminist movement? But she was a very, very, very, very influential person. Question number 16, we're in bullet time. Oh, this will be too easy for you. Most bullets use which metal as their primary core material. They'll typically use lead. Yes, they do. They typically use lead. Nine questions left. We're in bullet time, Norbert. You've got three in a row. Nice work. We'll stick with bullet time. Maxine from Scarbracies, we had a wonderful vinyl record of banjo paterson's palms with Leonard
Teal reciting the perfect voice for Australian poetry. Yeah, Leonard Teal did have a great voice for it. For banjo he did. So, oh, there have been others though. Norbert, question number 17, bullet time. Which Olympic gold medalist swimmer was nicknamed the Baltimore Bullets? Baltimore Bullets. Obviously, it's going to be a US swimmer, which Olympic gold medalist can you tell me which years he was in? I can't tell you anything. You can't tell me anything. Okay, so Olympic gold medalist. The only one that I could possibly think of, I cannot remember his name for the life of me. He said that he was going to smash the Australian team like egg, like egg guitars and the Australian medley team beat him at Sydney.
That's the only one I could think of. I can't remember his name, but hopefully whoever takes it from me is going to guess it right. Thanks, Norbert. Have a lovely day. You might buy one 300, 800, triple two is the number Susan and Hobart's got the right answer there. Good. Jim and Campbelltown, correct. Pandora from Sapphire Beach. Get out of Pandora. Hey, how you going, Phil? I'm not bad. We've got nine left here. Question number 17. Bullet time. Which Olympic gold medalist swimmer was nicknamed the Baltimore Bullet? I had no idea. I'll go with the fact that they're American with the last quarter. Have a good morning, everyone. Thank you. Hi, Pandora. Thank you. The Baltimore Bullet, I suppose, might lead us to that conclusion. Richard from Lena Valley. Hi, Richard. Go, hi, I was so hoping you weren't going to go this one. I just want to say that the fastest Indian was a magnificent movie brilliant, but I can't
remember his name. How do I look? What's the bloody act, is no? I'm not going to be able to do any Hawkins. Yeah, go. Jesus, I think you're going to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a funny title because everyone thinks it's going to be about something else, but of course. But there are no, we're not giving any spoilers away, but just watch it. It's a, it's a, no, I watched that in New Zealand while picking my dad up from having a stroke and a golf trip down there and they were had to kill a couple of weeks because they wouldn't let him on the plane and went to the museum with all the bits and pieces there. Fabulous. I'm putting brilliant, yeah, but anyway, look, I'll hold different waters. Great. Now, Richard, question number 17, which a little bit? Maybe breath, my friend, have no idea. Thank you, mate. Very much. Yeah. Hey, bye-bye. Oh, look, is that a nice text from Rick in Jolong? John Wallace of Wallace and Matilda, a duo, had recorded a version of Plans-Hearthy Overflow in song.
And John Wallace passed away this week. Wow. Okay. But we do have the song. I had written him a letter which I had for one to bet and turn on it. Sent to where I met him down the lockland musical. He was hearing when I knew him, so I sent the letter to him. Just on spec, addressed as follows, Plans-Hearthy Overflow. Under Nonser came directed in the writing unexpected. And I think the same was written with a thumbnail dipped in top. Was he shearing made oroded and repaid on my reported?
Plans-Hearth gone the Queen's landrowing and we don't know where he are. In my wild, irractive fancy visions come to me, oh, Plans-Hearth, on a droven down the poop-how ever Western Rover though. I've been stuck cos-slowly stringing in, 90 rides behind them singing, for the drover's life has pledges that the towns will never know. And the push has friends to meet him, and the kindly voices greet him in the number of the breezes and the river on its bars. As he sees the visions blended all the sunlit plains extended, and at night the wondrous
glory of the everlasting stars. I am sitting in my dinty little office, where a stingy ray of sunlight struck the feet bled down between the houthest tall, and the fortunate air and gritty of the majestic, dirty city, through the open window floating, threadless boundless overall, and he plays so low in the capital. I can hear the fiendish rattle of the tramways, and the busses are making hurry down the street. And the land we're done inviting on the gutter children fighting, come fit fully and painly through the seas with strength and feet, and the hurrying people don't
meet, and the huddler faces on me, as they shoulder one another in their rush and never stays, where they're either right and ready, and that's done dead bombs and weeding, but townsfolk have no time to grow, they have no time to wait, and that somehow rod of fancy, well I'd like to change with fancy, like to take a turn at roving where the seasons come and go, while he fades around the tunnel of the cacti book and the journal, but I doubt he'd suit the office, fancy over, oh wow, how good was that? Thank you, thank you Rick, in
Jolongjod and Wallace of Jolongjod and Wallace of Matilda has passed away, but he left that with us too. What a joyous thing, fantastic. All righty, as we know we often go down some by way, see you on the program, let's get back to some questions in the mighty challenge, Angus from Kuma, good morning, how are you? Not too bad, question 17, we're up to a little bit of a diversion for Clancy, where are you, are you in Kuma, so you were down in the Manero? Well that's where I'm from, I'm actually in Cambridge, I just on my way home to Kuma. Oh okay, all right, yeah, okay. Speaking of broad, of Sunlit Plans Extended, Extended, the Manero is one of them. Question 17, bullet time, we're in, which Olympic gold medalist swimmer was nicknamed the Baltimore bullet? Going off that he's an American, the only one that I know of, is that all like a guy Michael Phelps, perfect. That's the answer. Michael Phelps was
the Baltimore bullet. All right, question number 18, one left in bullet time, otherwise you could move to number one ticket holders or Zuzer Wild Life Pucks. Let's try Zuzer Wild Life Pucks. Zuzer Wild Life Pucks question number 18, established in 1752, the world's oldest zoo is located in the Shurn Brun Palace, in which European capital? I'll just have a stab at say London. Not London, Angus, no. Sorry, Matt, thank you, bye bye. No, not London. Steve from Northern, can I Steve? Okay, Phil, this is gonna surprise you Phil. I don't know the answer. I'll guess Berlin. Not Berlin, no. Thank you, Matt. It's gonna help somebody else. I'm sure Matt
from South Melbourne, get out of the way. Hello, Phil. Hi. Question 18, established in 1752, the world's oldest zoo is located in the Shurn Brun Palace, in which European capital? Shurn Brun, maybe Berlin. No, we've had Berlin, so I'll give you another guess. Prague. Not Prague. Thank you, behind, no, not Prague. M in Canberra says, Phil, my late dad, just my late dad and our family loved the world's fastest Indian. It was reminds me of funny, we all thought Anthony Hopkins short cut to Mowing his lawn. Dad would occasionally mow my lawn with a twinkling his eye, you'd ask if I wanted to done the quick way. Yeah, see the movie and you'll understand what we're talking about. It really is, I think, it's a beauty. Dan from Scarborough, get out of the way, Dan. Get out of the way, Phil. Thanks, David. It's on.
No worries. Question 18, established in 1752, the world's oldest zoo is located in the Shurn Brun Palace, in which European capital? Shurn Brun, is it, was it Gaze Paris? Not Paris. Sorry mate, no, not Paris. All right, I'll tell you what, we'll take answers on this after the news. We've got eight questions left. The mighty challenge. And we're up to question 188 to go. Christa from Bangor is up on Dick. Can I, Christa? Hi Phil, I'm sorry, I haven't got much voice, but I, and I'm not sure that you've actually got the answer for that question about the Shurn Brun Palace. I haven't, I haven't had an answer yet. I established in 1752, the world's oldest zoo is located in the Shurn Brun Palace, in which European capital? In Vienna. Correct. Yes, it's in Vienna. Very good.
All right, question number 19, we're in zoos and wildlife parks. You could move if you like to bullet time. There's one left there or number one ticket holders. I'll stick with the topic. We've got zoos and wildlife parks, which 2011 family film stars Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson. I do remember seeing it, but I really can't remember something about my family. I've got nothing more. Thanks. Thanks, Christa. Bye bye. Hi, Tracy. Tracy sent me a text saying, I want to discuss the end of the year, the amazing women of the second wave. Gloria Steinem. Yes, well, news that Gloria Steinem has died. She was 92 towering figure in the second wave feminist movement.
Gloria, I'd like to discuss the amazing women of the second wave. Gloria Steinem, Susan Sontag, and our own Jermaine Greer and Somerseneva Cox, etc. Thank you, Tracy. Well, I give us a call and I'm happy to have it at all. Chris from packing them. I'll read the rest of your text a bit later, Tracy. Chris, hello. Oh, here you go. Well, not bad, which 2011 family film stars Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson? I can't hear Matt Damon's name without thinking about the guys from South Park going, Matt Damon. He's quite an intelligent man and they little in both. I'm Matt Damon. Two American leaders, the Sergeant, Sergeant Martin, intellect, Terry, and the other one. We bought a zoo. Correct. We bought a zoo. Yes, that's it. I thought you were going to play Vienna after the thing and get a bit of an alpha box.
We could have. We could have. We could have. We could have. That's right. That's all I'm saying. Question number 20. No more zoos. So we've got one question left in bullet time and five questions left in the very popular category. Number one ticket holders. We can say it was one question left in bullet time, if you're live. I'll try that. It might be a lethal change. We bought a zoo as the best Matt Damon movies as my text. Because he sucks in the Odyssey. I don't know that he does. I know. I read. You saw it. I said it. I think it's very good. I mean, you know, people get very bad tempered about movies. I don't know. I respect him for getting violent Williams into his first film. I probably get it.

Docker time was like. Yeah. Something like that. Hey, question 20. Question 20. Bulletin.

No. Even though I think I thought during the season, they were one of the most devastating teams in the club. But it was. Well, no. Anyway. 59, 59,000 there and 50,000 walked away. Feeling terrible. Yeah. I know. Cameron, there were some crowd shots. And gee, people were just sitting there with their heads in their hands. Four left on number one ticket holders.
