Which surrealist artist designed the logo for Chupa Chups?Frankie McNair shows up as a self-described trivia lightweight who goes every Wednesday mainly for the chippies and contributes "not much" to the team, then spends the hour proving herself very wrong. On the phone: Mr. Monopoly, born plain old "Mister" and still smarting over being replaced in the McDonald's promotion, a reformed Dumbo who's sworn off both stampeding and flying after online backlash, and Glint Glunkley, self-appointed moderator of "the Mandalorian Discourse" with strong theories about Jar Jar Binks and an even stronger connection to hentai.A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Tim Hewitt and Tiana Hogben.

In 2017, New Zealand granted legal personhood to a what?Alex Ward turns up ready to redeem herself after a poor showing last time, and brings up her home-made cooking show Ready Steady Wardy, a tribute to Ready Steady Cook that somehow ended up outlasting the original. Calling in to help: Rance Vandersyn, a Joondalup businessman running "Cats4Cash," a cash-for-felines scheme with fluctuating market prices and no questions asked; Steve Manley, founder of the Chode Society, a support group dedicated to normalising an unfortunately-shaped anatomy; and Joey Boner, host of a prank show streamed on a shady platform called BetX, who assaults people on the streets of Tokyo and lets viewers bet on how long he'll spend in jail for it.A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Ben Russell and Taylor Griffiths.

What common nut is actually a legume masquerading as a common nut?Ting Lim turns up straight from the airport, suitcase in hand, joking that the housing crisis has her sleeping on podcasts between gigs. Talking her through it: Lady Legume, a well-travelled legume who has spent years hiding among the common nuts in disguise; Kevin Plonk, president of the Wet Dog 40 club, whose sole method for determining the wettest dog is squeezing it like a sponge; and Mr Colpita, a gay wizard who married a stiff, salty man before turning him into a children's toy out of frustration at his lack of flexibility.A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Amy Ruffle and Josh Chodziesner.

In 2020, an Arizona driver was caught cheating the carpool lane by strapping what into the passenger seat?Damian Callinan spends the hour cheerfully admitting he can't read a room, right up until the phone lines produce a fully grown dolphin son he never knew about. Helping him not at all: Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor who claims credit for both dynamite and the Zorba, the Rat King, a six-person-sized tangle of tails with a lingering grudge against the Macy's Parade, and HLD, a highly litigious dolphin lawyer working his way up the Low Court.A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Tim Hewitt and Millie Holten.

What has existed on Earth for longer: sharks or trees?Robyn Reynolds accidentally started her comedy career by getting very drunk at a Sydney open mic and telling a rambling, unplanned story about a bad date, which someone later praised as her "drunk girl act." Calling in to help her (or not): Brian Cox, a physicist who keeps insisting the galaxy is about the size of his head; Clemorn from Cremorn, and a self-appointed Bible Belt lawyer representing Nike, who won't help until she's confirmed you share her values on vaccination.A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Ben Russell, Barney Pollock and Millie Holten.

Dogs show magnetic alignment, often positioning along Earth's field when doing what?Sashi Perera once went on a platypus tour. Helping her get through ten questions: Murray, a tiny man who spends the episode getting swept from a bedside drawer into a magpie's nest and down a creek in a paper hat; Mary, a woman hiding in the bathroom at her parents' dinner party; and Donald McPherson, an ivory trader who has switched to sourcing tusks from maternity wards to build pianos.A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Ben Russell, Millie Holten and Barney Pollock.
