Watch Dylan Alcott Sneak Eight Different Wu-Tang Clan References Into Last Night’s ‘Q&A’

If you tuned in to last night’s episode of Q&A, you would have witnessed Paralympian gold-medallist and triple j host Dylan Alcott speaking eloquently about the issues facing people with disabilities in Australia.

Alcott was roundly praised for his contribution on the program, which addressed a vast array of topics including government funding for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, and ways to further integrate people with disabilities into the workforce.

It was a top-shelf episode, and it was made even better by the fact that Alcott spent the entire episode sneakily dropping in references to the Wu-Tang Clan.

No, really.

The idea came from a triple j listener called Andy, who called in to the Breakfast show yesterday to challenge Alcott to include as many Wu-Tang references as he could while he was on the show. Being the legend that he is, Alcott immediately accepted the quest.

“I took this Q&A serious,” Alcott said of the challenge today. “It was a serious thing that I’m really passionate about but I thought, you know what? I want to take the triple j listeners along for the ride with me and try slip in some references.”

Alcott managed to rep Wu-Tang eight times throughout the program, at one point working in a ‘C.R.E.A.M.’ lyric to highlight problems with the NDIS: “Cash rules everything around the NDIS.”

“I was crappin’ myself,” Alcott said. “I thought, what have I done? Because now I have to do it. I’m thinking, can I get the Wu-Tang lyrics in? Then you get taken out, there’s 300 people in the crowd, maybe a million people watching on TV. I’m pretty shaky and all I was thinking about was trying to get these answers across because I was so passionate about it.”

Alcott’s been a fan of the Clan for a while now — he even joined Ghostface Killah on stage at Meredith Meredith Music Festival in 2014.
