Why did Samoa skip Friday 30 December 2011 entirely, going straight from Thursday to Saturday?

Ify Nwadiwe may regularly feature on Dropout's Game Changer, but never before has he been confronted with such deeply Australian general knowledge. Sort of helping him along the way we have Gal Gadot, Gal Gadot in character as a Pope, a patch of lawn above parliament house and Angus Stone.

A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson beside Ify Nwadiwe, Alex Hines, Sez and Charisa Bossinakis.

Ray O’Leary is a quiz-show regular with, by his own admission, a level of confidence not quite matched by his level of knowledge. Talking him through it we have Cynthia O’Reilly, this year’s Raw Comedy winner, who writes her entire act with ChatGPT and has strong opinions about her son’s fiancée; Constable Greg, a bailiff phoning in from 1597 with surprisingly progressive views on policing; and Julia Child, out of retirement and deep into her 179th custard tart.

After a Rick and Morty joke went viral, McDonald's briefly brought back which menu item?

Sammy Petersen is normally the one asking the questions, a prolific podcaster who hosts confessionals for a living, so he spends the hour fighting the urge to interrogate his own callers. They don't make it easy: Lubenschmidt, a camel wrangler stranded in the Sahara with a fully stocked JB Hi-Fi and a Tina Arena CD wedged into his camel's hump, All of the Above, a 2016 presidential candidate who exists in a liminal space nobody else can see, and Detective Morta, one half of a noir detective duo who refuses to be rushed even while cracking a koala fingerprint case.

A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Lena Moon and Barney Pollock.
