Let me say, __ Chinese came up with it / know / chairs / but not that specific chair.  / ... So, you think, if anything is really old, the safest bet is to say, "__ Chinese came up with it / like climate change, for example / no / you / D__ T__ / the same attitude / don't know the answer / Chinese came / hoax / Chinese came up with / all right / who invented / I'm playing the quiz / Lloyd / know your place, Lloyd / by __ g__ / OK / must be really old / because that is one of my later questions / Huh. / they did use to / b__ t__ g__ / Can you tell me a little more, please, and you__ get a point. / About what? / "About what?" ?  / They used to knit ... uh ... __ bags / knitting / could be / __ __ ... uh ...

I wanna move on to a __er subject, but, uh, the reason they did it, the commune / paid the women to attend these, uh, events ... uh ... to insult the victims.  So, you were, sort of, / knitting / __, look at you / just / even more insulting __ __ __ doing / m__ / like / the final insult / これからギロチンにかけられて首がなくなるやつの前でスカーフをあえて編む。「あ、そうか。あんたはこれから首をちょん切られるから、スカーフは必要ないわね。」 / __ final ... You never get to wear this. / Yeah. / Dream on. / Yeah. / you can imagine / somebody / she's doing __ scarf / down there / We will move on to much __er topics, Owen listeners.  I promise. / Let's get back to Question #1: Who invented knitting? / Oh yeah, that's true. / very quickly ... very quickly, Question 1 was ... uh ... We did jump ahead __ __ Question 27 / how old is knitting? / Ancient. / "Ancient", you say.  Lloyd says, "The Chinese came up with it."  The answer is, "No one really knows." / thought to be older than __ and younger than w__ving.  So, pop __ in the middle of those two.
