Just a fun fact for you four: The Windy City is a political nickname from around 1893, not a weather reference!

[@Dave_Sisson]

Utes are a way of life for some people in Australia, I'm genuinely impressed they knew what the word 'bogan' meant... and from the low brow to the high brow... Real tennis is surprisingly popular in Melbourne, there are courts in the inner city and nearby towns, it's fascinating to watch players hitting the ball onto a veranda sort of thingy and their opponents sprinting to the place where they think it will bounce onto the court. Far more interesting to watch than lawn tennis.

Ironically, Ford is a Ute manufacturer who hasn’t given a Ute a stupid jingoistic pastoral name. Subaru Brumby Proton Jumbuck Holden Rodeo (not a true Ute, but still a stupid pastoral name) Coupe Utility Utes have fallen out of popularity in Australia in favour of a more global Pickup Truck style. They are still called Utes colloquially, even though they have a detached cab. The last true Coupe Utility was the Holden VF Commodore. The last true Coupe Utility made by Ford was the EL Falcon. The US named their Coupe Utilitys along Latin (the region/culture) themes. Ranchero, El Camino, Durango, Caballero. Current Coupe Utility’s are the Dacia Duster Pick-up, Fiat Strada, Volkswagen Saveiro, IKCO Arisun. They are still popular in countries with a strong pastoral farming culture.

Ute Muster could have been a German woman too. "Ute" was a common name in Germany ~30 years ago

Still waiting for an episode of this where one of the lies comes out the same as the truth. It nearly happened in this one.

They came pretty close with the Hagia Sofia, from what I remember.

Everybody going "no" into the camera seems to be this episodes outro. Fair enough.

[@adammullarkey4996]

I enjoy how Matt pointed out that his audio would be all plosives, and then said a sentence that seems to have been intentionally designed to have as many plosives as possible.

Matt Grey's Plentiful=Plosive Poetry.

8:58 chris really did save that one, didn't he?

[@DarylVanHumbeck]

This is *exactly* the content I've come here for.

[@tonhueb429]

A lot of the times in Germany, when an example name for credit cards, forms etc. is needed, they use the names "Max Mustermann" or "Ute Mustermann".

I see the moment when Chris gets the idea to do what he does in the 2021 New Years Eve episode.

[@robotslug]

This seems like a fun hobby for a group of friends to have. And for you all to be minimally conceited in your efforts while knowing you have a few tens of thousand of fans, is admirable.

“Or it’s all plosives...” “Tom has a pile of papers, on each piece of paper...”

[@seeitsayitdoggo]

"Piss Cliff Lift" is just a highlight of the entire shows, it's all leading to THIS MOMENT

[@ellaisplotting]

I was ridiculously excited to see this pop up, well done lads

[@HeroineDark]

Ok so now that Chris lost the show, he needs to host next time and Tom needs to throw in an article.

[@ragnkja]

Gennifer Bridget Ti'ana Maher According to Gary, Tom just isn’t good enough at bullshitting off the cuff.

Gennifer Bridget Ti'ana Maher Apparently he’s so bad that it’s not even funny.

[@HeroineDark]

@@ragnkja which is even funnier take away his laptop, now take away his preparation

[@j.simons9374]

Come now, you can't take that away! That's all this man has left!

[@Add12this]

"it's like the burning man of bogans" is the best description of the Denny Ute Muster Ive ever heard. Props.

[@mojosbigsticks]

Thank you - Biscuits for everybody!

[@jefflanam]

TIL that the "Ford Prefect" was an actual ute produced between 1946 and 1953.

[@qwertyTRiG]

Hence Ix's choice of pseudonym. He'd merely mistaken the dominant lifeform.

9:00 chris: "let's save that one make a note" *Christmas 2021, Chris keeps his promise"

[@taylorhancock5834]

Woo! It’s back! This is one of my favorite show concepts, and I’ve loved the past seasons of it. Also, Matt’s utes, the funicular skateboard, and rooftop mini golf, and the quick mention of real tennis (which is so very strange to me) was great! I can’t wait to see more Two Of These People Are Lying!

[@ragnkja]

Taylor Hancock “Real tennis” doesn’t sound like a real game

[@nanardeurlambda]

8:51 Matt Gray: "We can't all be- Well, we could all be wrong, but one of us would be a dick." Chris joel: "Let's save that one." *Remembers episode 4X02* YOU. BLOODY. GREMLIN!
