Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31-5-2023 — Clint Eastwood!

31st May, 2023: Clint.

It’s official: it’s Wednesday.

You knew that, you’ve got the date showing up on your phones, haven’t you?

At any rate: that means it’s the day after Tuesday.

Which means … ?

My nephew, Jude, saw made another video.

He’s had a go at making a disstrack: about Tommy Fury.

It’s a bit experiment … as;

• It’s the first time he’s publicly shown off a (backing) track he’s made with GarageBand.
• And he made the lyrics … with OpenAI’s ChatGPT!

Quite what people will make of it, I don’t know.

But, as of this morning?

It’s got more views than my recent video review: of  “The Apostate”, the recently caught opening episode of The Mandalorian series three.

I’m mildly jealous!

At any rate … ?

Would you mind subscribe to both our channels?

You can find Jude’s, here, and mine, here.

Every little helps!

Q5)        Finally … ?   The 2023 World Series of Poker starts on 30th May, 2023.   What, according to Wikipedia is the highest ranking poker hand: five of a kind, a royal flush, a straight flush or a full house?

A5)        Five of a kind.   (You usually need to be playing a version that uses wild cards: four aces and a joker would count as five of a kind, assuming jokers were wild.   There’s also a bug: a specialised wild card that usually represents an ace.)

Here’s a thought … 

“With that kind of money, I could have invaded some country.”

Clint Eastwood, speaking of the cost of making a film.

And some music …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (It was five of a kind!)

†        Yeah … the NHS is broken up into four organisations, isn’t it, Olga?   One for each home nation.   I’m assuming the Spanish equivalent would be the same: is that right … ?

        It can be confusing, can’t it?   I worked with a woman from Glasgow, many years ago: and when she was excited?   Well … !

‡        Nope: it’s the wild cards, Debbi.   The hand can crop up in any game were there’s a wild card!

        Yeah, sorry about the questions: I couldn’t do the man justice with just five questions.   Oh, I’m pencilling in ten questions sets for 15th June and 7th July, about Arkansas and the NHS: but I’ll let you know for sure, once I’ve penned them.
