If you don't, you just have to stay ready all the time because then you don't have to get ready to be blown. I've been ready. Okay, good. I'm going to hit you with a big one to start off. When do you guys think Picasso died?
1960s. About then. 1800s. Good try. Picasso died in 1973, which means he was living. He wasn't living when the horse and cart was around. He actually drove an Audi. Did you guys realise that? No. Whatever. There's photos of Picasso. Yeah. Huh? Oh, whatever. Get off your high horses. Okay, Nintendo. I didn't know that. Abstract modernist. Anyway.

We want you to be genuinely blown because you know when you get us that it was really good. Oh, shut up. Anyone can get Ella. Do you know what it is? My mom was around when Picasso was around. That's amazing. Ella found out last year that dinosaurs were real.
No, I didn't. Speaking of dinosaurs, I've got one about that. I've always known they were real. I've got one about this. Dinosaurs. You know, the first dinosaur fossil was discovered after ex-president George Washington died. So technically, he never knew that dinosaurs existed. Same as Ella. Was he the first? Let her cook. First what? President. Yeah, well done, Ella.
Chapter 4: How did Nintendo's founding year coincide with famous events?
Of the United States Army. Well done, Ella. Well done. Okay, hold on. Here's another one. Do you know that in France, they were still executing people via guillotine when the first Star Wars movie came out? What? No, I did not know that one. I'm going to give you that one. And that was in, for people playing along, 1977. What?
Man, you'd be gutted if you were the last person to get killed by a guillotine, eh? You'd be beheaded. Oh, you'd be beheaded. You'd be like, come on, guys, this is ridiculous. And they're like, okay, after we behead you, we'll consider, we'll probably stop. Okay, I've got two more. I've got two more. Even though I've already got you, I feel.

Matches were invented. I like that one. Is that true? Yeah, I like that too. Is that true? Lighters were invented before matches. We like that. Is that true? It's true. I have a question though. The first practical lighter was invented around 1823. Yeah. Friction matches were invented in 1826. So they used lighters when you had a little pan in the candle. Yeah. That's crazy, eh?
You used a lighter, not matches. The lighter was invented first. Huh. Yeah, you got me. Yeah, that's good. And the last one. Claudia wants to fact check you, but yeah. It's true. Trust me. I've checked it. I want to believe. I've checked it. And the last one. I'm trying to blow the team's minds with history facts this afternoon. Cleopatra. Coming at you. Coming at you.

I want to learn, don't make fun of me. Cleopatra, tell me what she does. What do you think she does? I thought she was in Star Wars, but that sounds wrong. No, that's Princess Leia. Yeah, right.
