Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Oh, it's been an absolute disaster at the tower of the
last few weeks. I haven't been able to get any
of my Amazon packages because all of the magical creatures are
on strike. Yeah, it's been a pain in the
arse. They're really angry with us.
Yeah. I don't see why they would be,
but I mean. Well, look, you know, apparently
it's because we're deforesting the magical forest and they're

(00:20):
really unhappy with that. But you know, look, I'm sorry,
but you know, I need to make room to to make my orcs.
We've got an orc army that needsto be worthy of the Dark King.
Yeah, exactly. And and we unfortunately, you
know, we got to cut down some trees to make some room to then
make more orcs, to have more orcs, to cut down more trees.
I mean, it's simple orcanomics. Yeah, that's.

(00:42):
Exactly right. It's simple orcanomics.
And they're getting upset at us,you know, because we're cutting
down some ants. A.
Few of them were ants, a few of them were living creatures.
Well, if they're living. Creatures, they could have got
up and walked away. Yeah, You know, they saw the
orcs coming up with the axes exactly right.
And they just sat there and theysaid trees, we are not this.

(01:03):
We got them now. And I'm sorry, you know, if you
saw the orcs coming, get up and walk away.
There was plenty. More forest to to go to.
And wasn't funny when it fell over and I yelled Timba.
Yes, it was pretty. Funny.
It was pretty funny if you cut down an Ant in the middle of the
forest and there's no one to. Hear it scream.
Did it really? Did it really scream?
You know, and, and it's it's just a shame because, you know,

(01:24):
we're going to have to start finding other, other means of
help. Exactly right.
I'm really looking forward to this army.
It's going to be good. I mean, yeah.
It's going to be an army worthy of the wizard.
'S tower, absolutely it's bittenoff.
Welcome back. Welcome back to the Wizard's
Tower. The Wizard's Tower.

(01:50):
We both had very eventful weekends.
Yes, yeah. Yes, we did.
We. Were both in the same state but
in different locations. That's right.
Yeah, I know We're taking a little vacation from the York
Army business. You need to get away, back up to
the Sunshine State. Yes.
Who wants to get? Do you want to go first or do
you want me? To I think you tell a story,

(02:10):
I'll tell a story, You tell a story.
OK, All right. Well, handball of storytelling.
I got a little story for you. OK, let me spin a let me spin a
tale. OK, OK, picture this.
OK. I had to go up to Brisbane
because a long time family friend of mine was getting
married and my, my parents are just kind of, you know, my mom
had sorted out accommodation andflights and all that.

(02:32):
I had to get my own return flight home.
I had to organize that myself, but I wasn't Privy to the
circumstances as to which I was going to be staying.
OK, so. Everybody had to stay in the
same hotel at the wedding, so everyone was sorted together.
I didn't realize I didn't get myown room so I had to share a

(02:54):
room with my mom and it was not good.
I am way too old to be sharing aroom with my mum.
OK, fair enough. There was 2 double beds.
So there's my mum, my stepdad inone bed and me in another bed,
which was, I'll be honest, excuse the French fucking shit.

(03:15):
OK. It, it was just, you know, you
get to a certain age and you're like, you know, I just need my
independence. I can't do this anymore.
If it was just your mum in one double bed and just you and the
other double bed, for some reason that doesn't seem that
bad. I feel like you like away for a
weekend and. That's like with your feet.
Yeah. Yeah.
But it's like a couple and then it's kind of weird.

(03:36):
Yeah. So.
And, you know, don't get me wrong, I love them.
I love them both to death. Yeah.
I can't live with them. When was the last time you would
have slept in the same room as your mom?
Well, last week, that sucks. Yeah.
So the problem, the problem really was, I didn't think too
much of it to begin with. I was like, whatever, you know,
it'll be fine, it's two days, whatever anyway.

(03:59):
The C pack machines coming. Out, they go out drinking and at
the casino and they're catching up with friends.
And I went back to the room and I was like, I'm having an early
night. I had to go back earlier anyway
to work and do a bunch of stuff,editing this podcast actually.
And then I had to wait two hoursfor the podcast to upload and I
fell asleep waiting for it. But but I they come back about

(04:23):
nine, 10:00 at night, I'm already in bed.
I'm sitting in bed fucking. I felt like the parent.
I was like, well, where have youbeen?
Been out pretty late. I've been home this whole time.
I've been up sick waiting for you.
All I wanted to do was go to sleep and they fucking come in
drunk. Mum's like, oh.
Let me tuck you into. Bed and I was like no mum

(04:43):
please. Please. 27 years old, you don't
need to do that. I'll tuck myself in the bed.
I'll tuck myself in. I'm here watching TikTok.
I'm going to go to sleep. And so she's I'm, I'm like
having to fight her off. And then I push her, I get her
away and then she goes, where's your suit?
Where's your suit for the wedding?
And I was like, it's hanging up in the cupboard.
And she goes, let's just open itup out of its zipper and let's

(05:03):
just let it breathe. And I was like, no, don't touch.
What are you doing? Just.
Heavy. Don't touch the suit man, it is
already hung up. Heavy alcohol breath is pouring.
Yeah, just. I'm just.
Gonna let it. Breathe.
Let's. Let it breathe.
I was like, why? Why does it need to breathe?
It's a suit. It's not like I have a limo
animal in there or something like that.
So made out of the monster material from Harry Potter.

(05:25):
I got a stroke it before I put it on.
I was like, it doesn't need to breathe.
I was like, it's fine, just leave it in there.
And she's like, ah, no, no, I doneed to.
And then thank God, you know? Graham chimed in.
And he was like, Chrissy just just shut down, Settle down.
Like yelling settle down. And so, you know, there's all
this kerfuffle and I'm like, gosh, just let me go to sleep.

(05:45):
And then mum starts flicking with the lights, turning the
lights on and off. There's about 10 light switches
and she's flicking them and she's like, what's this one
doing? Turns all the lights on.
And I was like. Oh, go to bed.
Turn. Them off and she's like, oh, I
don't know how to turn them off.Turn them the other way.
You fucking you turn them on oneway.
If you want to know how to turn them off, guess what?
You flip the same switch back the other way and then she's

(06:08):
flicking them on and off and then she flicks the electric
blinds. And then I was like, what is
going on here? Just oh, how do I turn them?
How do I move them back? Flip the same switch.
I don't know which one it is. Oh, I can't remember.
I don't give up. The bed starts going like a
fucking. And then she's grabbing her her
charger and she's like, oh, where can I plug in?
I need to charge my phone. I was like that has.

(06:28):
She not been in the room yet, has she?
We've been in it all day. Oh my God, it just doesn't know
she's a new. It's free.
Can you? Charge my phone?
Where do I charge my phone? I was like, oh, there's a free
PowerPoint on the desk and she'slike, I don't know.
When she's looking around, I waslike on the desk and she's like,
oh, I get, I'm like, and I, I got out of bed and I was like,
just give me that. And I charged, plugged it in,
went back to. Bed.

(06:48):
I'm tucking you in there. Yeah.
And I was like. Fuck God's sakes.
And then they both have showers and so I got to sit up just
waiting, just listening. OK, shout.
They're done. And I'm like, finally they're
going to go to sleep. Mum pulls out the CPAP machine.
She actually had a CPAP machine I.
Was like, oh God, it's. Just never anything.

(07:09):
I was joking. I actually had one, yeah.
Where do I plug? I need to plug the CPAP.
Machine and I was like fuck. My life, my God.
Thank God. The technology has come a long
way and they're pretty silent. Yeah, that's good.
Unfortunately, my stepdad probably needs a set CPAP
machine because I'm going, I'm like finally it's all settled,

(07:30):
all quiet on the eastern front, all quiet on the Western Front.
And I'm like sitting in bed about to go to sleep and I just
hear and I was like, you're kidding me.
First of all, I've never heard someone go to sleep so quickly.
It was like 5 minutes and then snoring just the whole night.

(07:50):
And I ended up, I luckily I had some little earplugs from San
Francisco when there were all ofthose like shreddings, all of
those at the cartel outside my, my room and all of the, the
people screaming all night. So I had those put those in.
Then I woke up about 1:00 in themorning.
They'd somehow fallen out. I had those things deep.

(08:13):
I almost couldn't get them in Graham.
'S pulled them out. He just pulled them out and he
goes. Yeah, I woke up at 1:00 in the
morning to the snoring again because they'd fallen out and I
couldn't find him because it's pitch black and I.
Was like, Oh yeah, that's when you turn on the light, start
opening the blinds. Oh, I can't find him and just
make such a noise. Wake Graham up for it.
I got on my phone and I was justlooking for accommodation.

(08:34):
Yeah. I was like I'm.
Over the other. Room.
Yeah. I was like, I'm booking another
room. Whoa.
And then the only other room available dead set.
The photos were of the room we were in.
And I was like, well, and it waslike $450 for one night.
And I was like, you know what? I think I'll just.
Stick it out one more night, onemore night.

(08:55):
It's so. Funny.
But it was. It was just.
Did you book the accommodation or was this all your mum doing
it? So if you listen to the story, I
actually reiterate at the very start I didn't organise any.
Of the I meant did the did the the wedding, did the wedding
organise the combination? It was just your Yeah, right.
OK, good. I wasn't sure if it was the
parents, although because it's the wedding you'd be like, Oh

(09:17):
well, you know. Yeah, but so Chris has done this
on perp. Yeah, just to save, just to save
a couple of bucks. Yeah, we'll just all have a room
together, right. That's probably, that's a good
idea, right? No, it is not a good idea.
Actually it is the. It is the worst idea and I did
not have a good time. That's hilarious.
The wedding was great. Though wedding was great, it was
good it was. Sensational.

(09:38):
Yeah, You know. Love, love.
The night beforehand, though, was wrong.
Yeah, yeah. And then on the day as well,
actually, Mum, I've got a like amakeup artist to come to the to
the room and. Just had that homeless. 60 year
old lady, which I was first of all I was like.
Shaky. What do you say?
It's the worst. She's got Parkinson's.

(10:00):
She's. But I, like everyone left the
room while they were getting that done.
And I was like, surely she's done by now.
I come back in like an hour later after having lunch and I
come in. I go, hello everybody.
Silence. Michael Jackson and I was.
Like, OK, all right. And I just walked in, grabbed
like my headphones and I was like, I was going to stay your

(10:21):
eyes. That's weird.
She's going to leave. And I just left.
No one said hello to me. Wow.
And I was like, that was awkward.
And then mum was like, you know,freaking out after.
She's like, she's made me look like an old lady.
And I was like, you're hired an old lady.
That's all she knows. Fucking old.
That's why she's no big nose. No way, no no way.
Shut. Her.
That's funny. Yeah, it's really funny anyway,
but besides that, it was all great.

(10:41):
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure.
She looks beautiful, man. I'm sure your makeup was great.
She looked totally good. She looked fine, but it's.
Just, yeah. It's like that scene from Toy
Story 2, the shaky handguard, and then just, I think just
perfectly that old guy. Yeah, we, my trip was pretty

(11:01):
good. I went to the Gold Coast because
it was mum's birthday and Dad just dropped a weekend on us
going away. That's a whole story.
But yeah, I won't get into that.I won't Baghdad out again on
this podcast. I think I've done that enough.
I think I've used, you know, used as much Ash Power content
as possible. Anyway, we went to the Gold
Coast and the flight there was alot of fun.
I was sitting next to my nephew and we're playing Mario Kart on

(11:24):
my Switch and having a great time.
And his ears were sort of hurting on the flight up, but he
was doing all right. And I was like, oh, yeah.
And then on the way down, his ears started to really hurt.
And he was sitting in the windowseat and I was in the middle.
And then the person sitting nextto me, Lauren, she was asleep.
And then mum and the responsibleones are on the other side of
the aisle. Yeah.
And I'm looking at my nephew andhe's like, my ears really hurt.
And I'm like, all right, just chew some chewy.

(11:45):
It's all good. And he's like, oh, I'm starting
to feel a bit naughty. I'm starting to feel sick.
And I'm like, this kid is carrying on.
He was like, oh, like doing all these noises and stuff.
And I'm like, mate, it's not that bad.
It's a plane. Get over bro.
Relax. Fucking build a plane and fly
over it. And my God, mum leans over the
islands, like, how's it going? He's going, right?

(12:06):
I'm like, yeah, he's just. And I look at everyone carrying
on big time, like these kids is just carrying on.
And then I look back over and hejust goes for himself.
And I'm like, oh shit, get the bag out.
And just like come on, come on. Worst uncle ever legit.
And then after we get off, I waslike, I, I got no clue.

(12:28):
I thought he was just like acting like he was like, oh, oh,
like do it. On this theatrics.
Man, Yeah, Hey guys it. Was me pulls out a skull.
So that was really funny. And then we know, went over
there, cut up some film film mates that hadn't seen like
almost like a year or two years.That was really fun.
But the trip from film was a lotof fun.

(12:49):
Yeah. From film school.
Film mates from film school. From film school, yeah, yes,
they film Ah. Yes, I do believe they film.
They film sometimes attend school and pay exorbitant amount
of friends shit education for a terrible terrible.
And they're friends of mine and in Australia we call them mates.
So there you go, film mates, film film school mates, film
mates. That was sort of the only crazy

(13:10):
thing that happened on the trip.I I drank too much on the
Saturday night and threw up in one of our film mates, The
Sinks. Oh, that's good.
In the sinks, Yeah, Which is good.
Yeah, that's for throwing up. Yeah, yeah.
While the toilet was being used,I ran in there and there was a
bloke that I didn't really know that well and he was taking a
piss and I was like get out. And he's like, oh, oh, OK, cool.
Yeah, very good. And nice to meet you too.

(13:33):
Yeah. Oh dude, that's the worst I see.
I you know me personally, you know, I'm not saying I'm morally
better than you, but you know, Idon't really drink so.
Yeah, neither does. That make me a better person
than you maybe. That's not for me.
That's not for me to say, you know?
Does that make me smarly superior?
Does that make me more evolved as a human to be able to have

(13:56):
fun without the need of substances or or things to alter
my state of mind? Does that make me better?
Maybe, but that's not for me to say.
Leave it in the comments. It makes you more of a loser
freaking. Squid, he's such a.
Square dude. Nerd alert.

(14:16):
No, yeah. So I, I, but I don't really
drink that much either. And I think that's why I hadn't
drank in like maybe like four orfive months leading up to that.
Yeah. So that was the first time I
really drank. And yeah, yeah, you could.
Tell a likely story you could tell, please.
You know what is funny? I love saying that I don't
drink. I've I, I drank, I had one beer

(14:38):
on the weekend. Yeah, I just don't drink and get
shit faced. Yeah anymore.
I don't drink to get drunk. I I get a little buzz and I'm
like right, that's some good 2 drinks.
I'm done. Yeah, yeah, that's definitely
the way you should do it. I think that's how everyone
should do it. I just didn't do it.
I just so excited. That energy was good that night
I was on. I was.
Yeah. I was just feeling myself.
We got one more, one more, one more drink, you know?

(15:00):
Yeah. I just can't deal with the
Sunday Scaries. You know, for those who don't
know, Sunday scaries is like theday after you drink, say
Saturday night, you go out, you drink a lot, you do some silly
stuff, and then the next morningyou're like, why did I say that?
Why did I do that? I can't.
I refuse to experience. That that's fair, but I see it

(15:20):
as like I was drunk. That's my like, you know what I
mean? Like that wasn't me.
That was drunk. I go.
They're gonna remember that for the rest of my their lives.
Yeah, they're gonna think about that forever.
They're gonna go that fucking that guy come in.
He spilled his beer that one time.
How embarrassing. He should fucking go eat shit
and die. But.
Then you go talks to this thing like, oh man, so sorry.
I was really drunk. Like, OK, like, cool.

(15:44):
I was pretty drunk too. I can't remember either, no.
No, they and then they go. Bro.
I'm talking guys never going to live that down, Guys literally
never going to live that down. I'm going to talk about this
behind your back. I'm going to post it on
Facebook. You're done.
You're. Done.
Your grandma's going to see this.
Oh, yeah. But yeah, my, my, my holiday was
pretty. I don't know.
It was just fun. It was just a good time.

(16:05):
I'm trying to think, oh, my nephew is really into Harry
Potter, which will come up laterin the podcast.
Oh, OK. A little bit of foreshadowing.
And he hadn't seen the 4th movie.
He's reading all the books and then he's watching the movie, so
he's read the fourth. Book 3.
Shadowing the way. That's a well, yeah, Yeah.
Well, yeah, yeah. It's foreshadowing, but what
happened to? Three shadows, it's

(16:25):
foreshadowing because of the 4thwall and you're you're
foreshadowing breaking the 4th wall now.
You know, I really don't know. I just think, I don't know,
maybe there was like an update we weren't aware of or we got a
sequel and maybe 3 Shadowing wasn't well received.
They have to go straight to the four foreshadowing 1 shadow.
I do miss 1 shadow 1 shadow pretty tough.

(16:46):
That was a good that. Was a good yeah it's it's just 4
shadowing doesn't hit the same as one shadowing.
They tried to recreate, you know, they improved on one
shadowing with two shadowing, but.
The prequel -1 Shadowing. Oh, that was that was pretty
good. Yeah.
Yeah. But then, you know, they tried
to recapture the original feeling of 1 shadowing with
three shadowing. And I think it just kind of

(17:06):
didn't, Yeah, really hit the same.
And then four. Shadowing 2049 shadow was the
future. The future Take 2044 Shadow. 20
49 They changed up the naming convention.
That just didn't make any sense.Yeah, I didn't like that either.
Yeah. Any shadow covenant was good for
shadow covenant. Yeah.
And then so he hadn't seen the. He reads the books and then

(17:30):
watches the movie. So he's read the fourth one.
Now he's watching the movie. What are?
We talking about Harry Potter? Harry Potter?
OK, Yeah. So he turned the Airbnb that was
staying out into like a theatre and, like, got us all to wait
downstairs. Yeah.
And then like my, my sister Emily would come down and be
like, OK, now anyone who has that tickets and he made tickets
for us and stuff and he had the tickets and then he had like

(17:51):
seat numbers on the couch. He'll get the seat on and stuff.
Really cool. So funny.
So then we like went up there and he like was out Usher and
he's like, you sit here, here's your popcorn and stuff.
It was really cute. So that was that was a really
fun night. That was probably the highlight.
Everyone afterwards was like, weneed to like also like, when was
the last time we had we sat downas a family and watched a movie.
Mom had never seen any Harry Potters.

(18:13):
There's there's way too many people are way too many people
in that catcher hadn't seen Harry Potter.
Yeah, I was. I was like, how are you anyway?
Like how are you? Like what are you doing?
Like you're not going to dad's like oh, you know, I read up to
the 5th book and but the movies,the books are way better than
the movies. You haven't even finished the
series. I found out a mate of mine
hadn't even watched Lord of the Rings.
He's like, I watched it a few weeks ago it's pretty good.

(18:33):
And I was like no shit it's pretty good.
Like I won 11 Academy Awards as a.
Reason. Yes, it is good.
There's a reason I didn't. Realise like, I don't get what
the obsession is. Have you seen it?
No, no. Well, that's probably why you
don't. Probably watch it then.
And dad keeps. Dad would keep banging on about
how much better the books are than the movies.
I'm like, yeah, OK. I don't really like to compare

(18:54):
books and movies because it's different mediums.
Like comparing radio and a play,Like it just seems silly.
Yeah. But I was like, today I'm like,
oh, So what do you think about the final book?
Like, did you like how it ended?And he goes, oh, I'd never read
it. And I'm like, well, where are
you pulling this opinion from? And he's like, oh, I've read too
fast. And then she wasn't making them
as fast as I was reading them. And I'm like, well, they're all
out now and you haven't even watched the movies.
So like, you've got no opinion to stand on.

(19:15):
And he's watching the 4th one. He's like pretty good and I'm
like, yeah bro. Yeah, 4th 1 is pretty good.
Yeah, I do love the fourth film.Yeah, but but yeah, that was my
holiday. Have you got any other stories
from your holiday? I.
Don't have any more stories frommy holiday, but I do have
another story. Oh, let's play some music to
bring us. Into this Oh, OK, good story.
Can't wait to find that and not do it and then get you to do it.

(19:36):
Yeah. You do that every time.
I'm going to send you that. I'm going to actually attach it
before the end of this film. I have a funny story about an
Uber driver. Didn't happen to me.
It happened to Emma. Oh, OK.
And so she was doing some catering for her work.
And there was this big event that heaps people were there.
And so she ordered a bunch of catering through Uber Eats.

(19:58):
And she, she had it arriving andshe like, checked the app and
was like, oh, dude, he's 2 minutes away.
So she's like, all right, everybody, the food's almost
here. So everyone get ready for that.
And it was, oh, yeah, sweet catering.
I'm pretty hungry. I'm hungry.
And then she gets a text message.
So what's this? And it's from the Uber driver.
And he says this is it, this is dead set.

(20:21):
She showed me the message. It just says I want it.
And then that was it. What I want it, I want it.
And then that was it, order cancelled.
And he took the food and left. No way.
And he was a top star, like top rated, like Uber driver.
He literally all this catering food, he went, I want it.
And that was the only message. And she's like, what like are

(20:41):

Order cancelled and he took all the food.
Is insane. And she got her money back.
Did it come out of his wage or did he just say oh fuck man

then just left that's crazy. Right before delivering it he's
like Nah it smells pretty good eating chips.

(21:03):

of my own. I want it inside.
Yeah, I want it. And then that was it.
I have never heard of that before.
Wow, wow, I'm in shock. Couldn't believe it.
So. So she surely Did she follow up
any further than just getting her money back?

(21:24):

reorder the catering. But by the time the catering

(21:47):

fucking paid for it. Yeah, I I couldn't believe it.
And then she showed me his profile picture.
Yeah. Craziest eyes I've ever seen.
He was like this, like eyes so wide his.
Eyes were screaming. I wanted.
Yeah, I know. I was like, oh man, my eyes
probably fell out of his head when he saw all the stuff he
picked up. Oh my God, he really wanted it.
Well, at the end of the day, he wanted it more.

(22:30):
Maybe he did. No, I think all like the 20
people at that. Press but probably wanted them.
But you know, that's what they one man in his car.
Fuck, man, I want this. They always say that they're
like, you know, you know, like the two teams are going at it
and one team just wanted it more.
You know what I mean? At the other day.
True, he apparently he wanted itmore.
He's like. These are the rules.

(22:51):
You keep what you take. I'm coming around, I'm coming
around. I respect him for it.
I I hope he he just wanted it more honestly.
I hope he crashed his little E scooter and all the food went
everywhere and no one got it. Honestly pathetic I.
Hope someone stole it from him. Are you smarter than a young

So I told him to study up on thefirst book and the first movie

because I'm going to have 5 questions for him to answer.
And then I'm going to bring those five questions and ask you
the exact same 5 questions and I'm going to compete you against
my nephew to see if you are smarter than a young wizard.
OK, he's more of an apprentice, but you know, like it's fine.
I didn't realise he finished hisstudy so early.
How? He's well, you'll be surprised

(25:00):
after these five. He's 556.
He's just. Oh my God.
He's young, 657. Wow.
He's something they're training.Him.
They're training him young. He's.
Like he's like this tall. Dropped out of school to go to
wizard school. Yep, yeah, yeah, to Hogwarts.
He wishes, yeah, he loves Harry Potter.
OK so I gave. So I've got 5 questions here.

(25:21):
They're multiple choice. So Please wait until I finish
the multiple choices, OK for youto answer.
OK, OK, question #1. What is the What is the book?
Who is the book about this? Who's Harry Potter?
Who's Harry? That's correct.

I actually don't even know. OK, OK, Question one in the

(25:44):
movie Harry Potter. Yeah, obviously.
In the movie OK, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's star
series Harry Potter. I'm just saying because this is
quizzes about the movie and the book.
OK, OK, OK. So I'm prefacing by saying in
the movie. Sorry, sorry, jumping the gun
here. In the movie Harry Potter and
the Philosopher's Stone, also also stone depending on what
world, What world? What part of the world do you

(26:05):
live in? What world do you live?
In America, it does seem like a world in a yeah.
That's a very good point. That's very good.
Sometimes they think they are the world anyway.
Who was the first person to be sorted into their house by the?
Sorting house. OK, that's interesting.
OK, OK, we've got multiple choice here.
A Harry Potter himself. No.

(26:26):
B Ronald Weasley. No.
C Hermione Granger or D Susan Bones.
Oh, that's right, there's like arandom lady 1st and then
Hermione goes after that, correct?
Or is it Hermione? I thought it was Hermione
Granger, but now that you've said Susan Bones, Never heard

(26:47):
that name in my life. Now I'm thinking it might have
been another random lady. I think God damn it, it's
between those two. Can I call a friend?
No, no. Yeah, me go.
Ahead, what should what should it be?
I am going to go with my gut here and I'm going to say that

(27:10):
it was Hermione Granger. Hermione Granger is correct.
Yes, yes. I thought Susan Bones would
would throw you off. No, no, she gets sorted second,
then it goes wrong, then he goes, then he goes.
Draco. Yeah.
And then Susan Barnes. Yeah, yeah, you don't get that.

(27:32):
And then and then it's. Harry Yeah, yeah, yeah.
After that, yeah. Let me just bring out what my
nephew said in the movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's
Stone. Yeah.
Who was the first person to be sorted into their house?
Mine. I was going to give you some
multiple cool choices, what it is like.
So you got it right. Well done.

(27:53):
Alright, here's the jump. The gun jumps the gun row.
Yeah. So there you go.
Who is Hermione? Hermione.
Interesting. OK, did.
You read these. I mean, that's, that's the,
that's the level of. OK, so he's pretty good.
He's he's pretty good. I am Denard but.
I'm going to be honest. The young sharp mind does does
beat the dull old mind sometimes, doesn't it?

(28:14):
To be fair, to be fair to him, he decided to watch the movie
The night before I did the. Question.
I didn't get any of this forewarning.
So he's about. On OK, not even any three
warning. No.
Oh, the sequel. The prequel.
What is the full name of the person who founded the

(28:37):
Hufflepuff house? Is that a joke?
A Helena. A Helena Hufflepuff.
B Huff MC Puff, CC Helga Hufflepuff or D Henry
Hufflepuff. It's a lady I'm going to go with

(28:58):
what is? It's either A or C What was A?
Helena Hufflepuff, yeah, or C Helga Hufflepuff.
I think it's a I'm going to lockin a you're.
Locking in a? Yeah.
Are you sure? Why are you saying it like that?
Yeah, that's what I just saw. I just saw, I just saw Eddie
from, you know, hot state to it.OK, yeah, I'm going to lock in
a. Bum bum.
Incorrect. It is C Helga Hufflepuff.

(29:22):
Of course it's some old lady name.
I just thought, I don't know what I thought I was wrong.
So, and you know, I'm gonna takethat on the chin and you know
what? I'm wrong and I'm learning from
my experiences and I'm gonna carry that forward and hopefully
become a better person because of it.
Well, let me just tell you something.
Helena Ravenclaw. Helga Hufflepuff.

(29:44):
So I'll do a little little bit of a tricky, you know, not bad.
Anyway, let's do it. Let's do one.
If you said what is the full name of the person who founded
the Hufflepuff house? A Helena Hufflepuff, B Huff MC
Puff, C Helga Hufflepuff or D Henry Hufflepuff.

(30:10):
Helga Hufflepuff is what he's good at it.
How did he? Well, I can't believe is that
even listed in the Philosopher'sStone?
It's sung in the song that the sorting hat sings at the start.
The frog, the frog sing. Yeah, yeah, I think the movie in
the book. Oh, in the book.
Yeah, Oh. My this is about the book of the
movie mate. Yeah, Oh, what's your what's the

(30:32):
name of the elf that served Harry Potter food on on page 732
I'm. Going to write that down.
I bet you my nephew gets that. He would know.
Dude, I was like to him I was like, you know, it's pretty hard
for them to turn a 600 page bookinto a movie.
And he goes well, actually all the Phoenix is 539.
But I'm like, I got to make these questions harder for this
game. When?

(30:52):
Yeah. OK.
Well, that changes things, all right?
This kid. 'S legit.
I'm. Gonna have to brush up, yeah?
In the final chapter of the book, Harry and Hermione and Ron
play Wizards chess. What teacher set that trap?
A Professor Flitwick, B Professor Mcgonigal, C Professor
Snape or D Professor Mcpuff, thefounder of Hufflepuff.

(31:17):
Mcpuff. Mcpuff.
Mcpuff. Mcpuff.
Flitwick. I don't think so.
I feel like I don't think Snape would have done a little chess
boy personally. I think he wouldn't do that
personally. Flitwick is a short man.

(31:38):
Like a pawn. Like a pawn, if you will.
Interesting. Mcgonigal is into transmutation.
I feel like she would have more of a hand in potentially the
flying keys, although they are flying.
So perhaps Professor Flitwick, the famous teacher that taught
the flick and flick and flick, flick and.

(31:59):
Swish. The flick and swish technique.
The flick. Perhaps he did that, although
Mcgonigal loves Quidditch and you have to do Quidditch to
catch the keys. So I'm going to say Flitwick did
the chess because he's a small man is.
That your final answer. That's my final answer.
That is incorrect. It was Professor Mcgonigal.
Really it? Was Professor Mcgonagall.

(32:20):
She loves it. She showed.
I'm pretty sure she shows Ron chess in the game and is
impressed by his chess girls. In the game.
Oh. OK, so she.
In the book, obviously in the book, I really thought I was on
a roll there because you have tocatch a key like you got to
catch the golden snitch. But then you'd think the
Quidditch teacher would have setthat trap up, which I'm pretty
sure she did. And the Mcgonagall did the

(32:41):
chess. Interesting and but she's
looking. For a new seeker.
And then Snipe did potions in the book that aren't in the.
Movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, Well fuck me I suppose. Maybe I got to stick to the
movies because he seems to. I don't remember the movies.
I read the. Book 10 years ago OK, I read the

(33:02):
book 10 years ago my. Nephew hasn't even been on the
planet for 10 years. And I I did listen to the audio
books a few years ago, but you don't really absorb the
information when you listen to it as much as reading.
All right, let's find. I'm going to learn that.
Let's find out what my nephew said.
Do you think you got it right? In the final chapter of the
book, Harry, Hermione, and Ron play wizard chess.

(33:27):
What teacher set that trap? A Professor Flitwick, B
Professor Mcgonigal, C ProfessorSnape, or D Professor Mcpuff.
Professor Mcgonigal, well done. I thought that was the.

(33:49):
Last chapter The last chapter's The Man with Two Faces.
Oh, it's not that one, isn't it?Yeah.
Oh. So this is the last title, yeah,
of the last chapter, The Man with Two Faces.
The dude was cracking me. I was giving him these questions
and I showed my sister his mum beforehand.
Like, how do you think he's gonna go?
And she's like, I think he's gonna nail all these questions.
I'm like, no, surely not the dude.
He knows his Harry Potter. He does.

(34:11):
Maybe, you know, if if he's looking for a a job, maybe maybe
he can take over the wizard's tower because clearly I'm not
fit for the the job all. Right.
Question four. Yeah.
What is written on the letter Harry receives from Hogwarts?
A Mr. H Potter The cupboard under the stairs for Privet Dr.

(34:32):
Little Whining. Sorry.
B Mr. Harry James Potter, who lives on the stairs for Privet
Dr. Small Whining. Sorry, See Harry Potter, The Boy
Who Lived on the Stairs. Little Whining.
Sorry. D Harry Mcpuff, Puffington the
Third, The Boy Under the Stairs.Here's your bloody letter for
us. OK.
So I'm thinking leaning towards D personally.

(34:56):
OK. OK, I think you need to really
reread the book. OK, so is it little sorry or
small sorry really, because H Potter.
And what was it? Harry James Potter?
I'm going to go, you know, I'm just going to go with my gut,
use my magical intuition. And I don't think they're going
to write out his whole name. I feel like it's going to be AH
dot Potter personally. Although if we're are we going

(35:19):
books or movie? Are we going books or movies,
Zack? Sam, Zack.
Sam Both. OK, I'm going to go with H
Potter under the stairs, little preview drive, whatever Dr.
Little thing or whatever. And that is correct.
Well done, well done with my staff.
For a second if you didn't give me that, correct?
Well done. That was a tricky one.

(35:40):
Yeah, for sure. I just feel like Hogwarts
respects people's privacy and they don't want to dock
someone's full name if they're just sending a letter by Al.
Yeah, you know, especially HarryJames Potter.
That could be. That could be.
His password? Harry H Potter.
That could be anywhere. That could be any H Potter.
That's true. Yeah.
Well, it's good they didn't givehis middle name away because
that could be like his special hint.

(36:01):
That's true. When he gets into his computer,
that would be. True, true.
Who is my my father, who died when I was a little boy?
Yeah, what's my middle name? Hint, Jay.
Hint, it's the same as your deadfather.
Yeah, next. It's James.
Let's see if let's see if my nephew got it right.
What is written on the front of the letter?
Harry Potter receives a Mr. H Potter The cupboard under the

(36:25):
stairs. 4 Pivot Dr. Little whining.
Sorry, pivot. What did I say?
Pivot. Pivot.
What does that? You said Pivot.
Was it? What is it?
Oh, sorry, Privet autocorrect. You're already pulling me up on
All right. B Mr. Harry James Potter, who
lives under the stairs. 4 privetDr. Small Whining.

(36:51):
Sorry. Respect that so high.
C Harry Potter, the Boy Who lived under the stairs.
Little Whining. Sorry.
D Harry Mcpuff Puffington the Third.
The Boy under the Stairs. Here's your bloody letter for
us. He.
Just locked. It in.
It was, it was. It was right.

(37:11):
God, he's good, isn't he? He's good.
He is good. He locked it instantly.
He knew it instantly when he heard it.
Yeah. That's very good.
Wow. Yeah.
Like I said, I like this guy more and more the more I hear
about him. The way he pulled you up on.
Me and I thought that was. Hibbett, Dr. I I was like.
What? The hell are you talking?

(37:31):
About question 5, now this one is probably, I want to say it's
probably the easiest out of all the questions just to set it up.
So if you get it wrong, what? Sorry, what?
What? Welcome back.
What position does Oliver Wood play in Quidditch?
A Beta B. He's the umpire.

(37:53):
OK. C chaser or D keeper?
Oliver was the keeper. Hey Oliver Wood's keeper.
I play keeper. Yep, Correct.
Well done. So, keeper.
All right, let's see if you got it right.
What position does Oliver Wood play in Quidditch?

(38:15):
A Beta B. He's the umpire.
C Chaser or D keeper Keeper keeper.
I can't believe 5 from 5. I can't believe I lost.
I can't believe I lost towards the young wizard.
Yeah, these young wizard. What do they put in the water
these days? They're clever.
Now, what do they fever? I'll let me just say.

(38:36):
So Marty got five out of five. Let's just see what your score
at the end of the day was. One.
Yeah, three out of five. You missed out on 2.
Yeah, kind of trick questions, really.
Well, yeah, they're all part of the book.
You got to learn to listen. Or read.
Or read. Yeah, I gotta learn to read.
I did say that it was going to be book and movie, yeah.

(38:58):
Do you want me to focus more on the movie next time?
No, that's fine. Just tell me what movie, what
book it's gonna be, and I'll read it before.
Well, I'll let you know. It's going to be the next time
we do this quiz. It's going to be the second
part. And we're gonna read the second
book, Chamber of Secrets. We're probably gonna do this
another. I'm gonna guess six to seven
times depending on if I want to split the.
Last quiz in the Two-part 1, Part 2 of the.

(39:20):
Exactly right. So well there you go.
Those are the the questions. Order of the Phoenix is gonna be
a nightmare. Yeah, So 800 pages.
Well, actually, actually. It's it's only 500 and 3030. 5
Yeah. So that was the question.
You enjoy that? Did you enjoy that quiz?
Yeah. That was good, man.
Yeah. How do?
You feel losing to a six year old I.
Don't feel good about it. I don't feel good about it.

(39:40):
But the way he kept pulling you up on everything.
Yeah. I do I You know what?
I gave it a good. What if we get him to write us
questions and we compete? Oh.
My God, that'll be too difficult.
Yeah, he can barely write. Yeah, you have to decipher them
first. Yeah, that'll be a challenge in
itself. Yeah.
Well, that's all the time we have on the Wizards Tower.

(40:03):
If you'd like to reach the Wizards, you can send her now to
the Wizards Tower [e-mail] and you can also follow us on
Instagram and TikTok, whatever the hell that is.
