What is the concept behind the Podmasters quiz?
How are you?
I'm all right, yeah. How are you?
Yeah, all right.
Cool. Shall we end it there?
It'd be good to do one like that.
Imagine that. We ask each other how we are, you take a bite of an apple, and then we go... Avant-garde podding.
What have you been up to? Anything?
I went to see a film... At the cinema? Yeah. I've seen three films in the last two weeks. We've gone film mad.
Can I guess?
Yeah. Brutalist? Yep. One of three. God, if you get all three... What? Here?
No. One of two?
Correct.
Did you?
No. Oh. Go on.
How do the hosts prepare for the quiz game?
Uh... The Bob Dylan one. Oh. Timothy Chalamet. And Saturday night, I went with Matt Crosby on Sunday night. That was weird. Not weird. I met Matt Crosby and we went to the cinema at nine o'clock in the evening on a Sunday.
What, did you plan to go to the cinema together?
Yeah, yeah.
Was it...
Yeah, because we both had a slight obsession with Saturday Night Live, and when the film came out, I said, should we watch it together? And we did, and I'll be honest, it was fantastic fun. I was driving to meet him, going, this is it, I'm going on an adventure, I'm meeting Matt Crosby in Greenwich. Probably the bleakest place you can watch a film, actually, is fucking Odeon Greenwich. Under a flyover.
How many people in there?
How many people in the audience? Five.
I signed at the Times.
Don't get me started. Matt was very upbeat about it. I said, fuck, you know, I was like you. And he went, well, it's Sunday, probably loads Saturday. And I went, yeah, no, you're right. I was like, God, that's how he's looking at it. I'm looking at it like, fuck, what's the point in my head? And he's like, Saturday was probably loads Saturday. Loads of people in saying, oh, he's such a better person, better outlook. I immediately went, what a waste of everyone's time.
What challenges do contestants face during the quiz?
And he went the opposite. What a great use of everyone's time. Get the old theme music there and off we go. Did you want to hear what my idea was this morning when you sent me?
Was it an idea to pod today? Or just an idea in general?
Well, today, but I was like, because I was out. I was like, there's no way I'm going to have time to do this. But you sent me a sort of frivolous joke about us being podmasters. And I read it as potmasters. You know, the... Yeah. Where is he? Let me show you this. My signed photo of... Mark Reid? Jaws? No, not Jaws. Ken Bruce. Ken Bruce. I've got a signed picture of Ken Bruce. Anyway, I read it as Popmasters. And I was like, oh, I've got an idea for a quiz. I could do like Podmasters instead of Popmasters. And my idea was, I play you a 10-second random clip of a pod in the top 40, and you have to guess what it is. But the fact you're laughing... I feel like we're really struggling for it. Well, I actually thought it was a good idea.
Well, let's do it then. No, because you went... Oh, don't do this!
Go on then, let's do it.
Well, also, it has to be... How do I hear it? That's a very good question.
How do the hosts react to the quiz format?
Can I try and play you... I'll play you something on here. OK.
Actually, through your phone will work.
OK, I'll play us quickly.
Can I look at the charts when you're playing it, or do I just have to... Oh, yes, that's good. Because I won't know them.
No, because that's a memory test, otherwise. OK, this is lovely. Is it lovely because you went, we're really scraping the barrel, was your initial...
It's a little bit of both. It's a little bit of both.
Well, I don't think... I thought it was like... Do you think it's really good?
Yeah. Okay. Well, let's go for it. Can you hear that? I use it to... Yes, this works.
Okay.
Do I look at the chart? It's saying the top 50.
Hold on. Before we do, why was your immediate gut reaction with scraping the bottom of the barrel? What was that? Why? Before we get on to the fun, let's not have some fun.
If the charts are involved in the conversation, then I'm like, okay, we're going there. Well, no. Quizzes. I always think when people are quizzed out, we're struggling.
Okay.
What strategies do contestants use to guess the podcasts?
Valid. Valid. That's valid.
Well, that's all.
It's not like I was dead against the idea. I've not got a leg to stand on, if I'm honest.
suddenly if i had said i've got i think you'd actually i think your jumper quiz hey i'm bringing the darkness let's play the quiz what's happening here i don't know let's play the quiz is it the comedy it's got to be the comedy charts yeah so yeah we do the top maybe i'll do one from the top 10 one from the top 20 you know see it's one of 10.
