My name's Andrew Hunter-Murray. I'm here with Dan Shriver and James Harkin, and we're here with your facts.

1:32You've been sending them in to podcast.qi.com. We've been receiving them. Let's tell you what we got. Who's got a fact? I've got one. This is from Felix Weyer, and Felix's fact is that in 1995 the German Democratic Republic, that is East Germany, won a bronze medal 4.5 years after it ceased to exist Riddle me this Consolation prize, second prize in the Cold War Bronze is third place I remember we did a fact years ago about correspondent chess where it took so long for you to receive the next move from someone or for a game to end that country's dissolved in the meantime you know you might have been in yugoslavia now you are no longer so close right because this is a fact about correspondence chess

2:24where the games lasted so long that sometimes countries dissolved in the middle of them no absolutely is i did it as a headline many many years ago well it's come back but think of all the countries that didn't exist when we first did this fact yeah well this person actually wrote this in years before i said it on the show it's just taken so long to get to us um so yeah the 10th postal chess olympiad started in 1987 and it didn't finish until 1995 and one thing i don't think we said on the day is that the last game uh was won by an east german against a west german and those two players were already competing alongside each other in a unified german team in the 11th chess olympiad which has begun in 1992 that's

3:14incredible that's so good i wonder is there any other version where that can happen where you are part of an old thing while you're in the new is there like a touring group of old sugar babes but you're also in the new sugar babes lineup that's a good idea so you're yeah you're doing two sets of shows no is the answer to that specific sugar babes thing right yeah but there's that's not to say it hasn't existed anywhere else yeah very exciting i think really good um i got one it's on sport okay while we're on that theme uh this is from mark linsman who says hi my name is mark i'm from canada a place where the sport of curling is very popular yeah my fact is one of the all-time best canadian curlers was named sandra schmurler and it rhymes with curler

3:59um her nickname was the extremely apt schmurler the Curler. Not Schmeller, because there's Fanny Schmeller, who is a famous skier. Again, another winter spot. Yeah, Fanny Schmeller. Fanny Schmeller, yeah. And she's most famous in the UK because on the TV show The Chase, Bradley Walsh struggled to say her name without bursting into laughter, and it goes viral every now and then. Yeah, right. Beautiful. Oh, yes, I've seen that clip. Yes, that's brilliant. Well, it's claimed and it was actually claimed by her that she was the only sports person who had a name that rhymed with the sports she played. No, no chance. It's really hard to Google this and try and work out. So I just stuck with curling.

4:39There is a darts player called John Part who used to play dart. Only used one sold he was rubbish you can only get a third of the score of everyone else no that's incredibly good for off the cuff um that's very good because i yeah i i thought okay i'll try and see if uh is there anyone who rhymes with curling and i found a scottish called Jane Sterling. So Jane Sterling does curling. Yeah, that's really good. Jane Sterling does curling. But Jane Sterling only arrived, you know, she won a championship in 2017. So this is 17 years after Schmurler the curler had passed away. So yeah, but I sort of thought it is really hard to think of that. This is a possible challenge that we could bring to jewel anyone listening can you think of someone whose name rhymes with the sport they play

5:29r.i.p the inbox okay okay i'm gonna set some ground rules i want them to be exact rhymes please i don't want any art arts fudges um it's a great question yeah that's incredible yeah i mean i'm gonna be silent for the rest of the show absolutely trying to think of dominic tugby or whatever tugby league oh yeah um yeah i think there's also a darts player called kevin dutz who's like i think he's dutch or something right that's pretty good it's almost there isn't it yeah it is yeah yeah should we knock out as well if their name is the exact word you know like barry football shouldn't be allowed that's allowed that's allowed it's right it was a vibe no it's not it's not really um i've got one this one comes in from conrad beruber

6:16what a great name does he do scuba There we go. Wonderful. There we go. People won't believe that we haven't cut out and ignored this gap in the lobe. We can confirm that was genuinely very quick. That was stunning. So this is about a scientist who works in an underground physics laboratory shielded from cosmic ray interference, okay? Yeah. And amazingly, the director of this ray bunker is named Dr. Ray Bunker. No. Yes. Dr. Ray Bunker works in a lab. It's beneath Sudbury, Ontario, and it's called Snow Lab. And I just want to say, this lab is absolutely nuts. Is it to look for gravity waves and stuff? They're looking for wimps. Oh. Weekly inter... Well, they should have come to Holborn. Hey!

7:14They're looking for weekly interactive massive particles, which is evidence of dark matter, isn't it? It's sort of... It is possible, yeah. They're looking for dark matter, I think. Yeah. And they have to shield the bunker from all radiation, which is why it's two kilometres underground. So it's in an old mine, basically, that they've had to excavate out. They also have GIMPs as well, I think, which is gravitationally interacting massive particles. Not in Canada, though. Surely not. There are no GIMPs in Canada. I don't know. Podcast at QI.com. Is it true that the word gimp was invented for that movie? What's that movie where there's bring out the gimp? Tarantino, isn't it? Yeah, Pulp Fiction.

7:52Really? I think, and I might be wrong, the word didn't exist until that movie. Interesting. It's not impossible. What was the gimp? Someone in bondage gear? It was like in bondage gear, yeah. Yeah, right. Like what we would now call a gimp mask, which is like zip in the mouth yeah yeah yeah um anyway sorry no no no it's good slightly off slightly off topic all good stuff but basically to go in there you are so radioactive that you have to change your clothes twice and have a shower before you go in because you need to wash all the surface radiation off and out of your hair and all of this. Wow. It's so crazy how clean they have to get the lab to stop muons particles getting through that they put it so far underground.

8:36But just the scale of it, there are five Empire State Buildings down underground. Cool. It's just so far. How do they get down? Because I would think like lifts. They get a lift. Do they? Yeah. I would have thought a lift wouldn't be able to go all that far down. They might have to get a couple of lifts. Some mines are so deep that you do need to get out of one lift to get into another because the cable becomes so heavy that you can't. When you've got to stop and have your first shower and then get back in, presumably. The shower is not going to be just on the bottom floor, presumably. I didn't check exactly where the shower is. I'm really sorry. It would make sense to have a shower half. If you're going to have to take two showers, you might as well have one halfway so the

9:15first shower has had its effect while you're traveling. Exactly. I think you have to only have one shower, but you have to change into mining clothes and then into lab clothes. So I think that's the purpose. But again, we've tested my knowledge quite hard on this one. have one shower but you have to change into mining clothes and then into lab clothes okay so i think that's the purpose but again we've we've tested my knowledge quite hard on this one speaking of showers and radioactive particles yes i think there is a thing where whenever if there was like a dirty bomb went off and there was radiation in the area you're not supposed to use conditioner because that can make the radiation stick to your hair i think that's so funny if the

9:47person who's had two showers has just actually doubled the chances of them getting radiation when they're down there i've got this um this head and shoulders is that okay or because it's like half conditioner yeah yeah yeah just use half as much as you normally would and that'll be fine okay yeah there you go so so thank you very much conrad that's very interesting here's one from dick berg and dick's fact is that the grandson of napoleon bonaparte's brother was nicknamed charlie the crook chaser and they invented the american federal bureau of investigation oh pretty cool napoleon did you do this fact before that as well i do remember reading about it but i i don't think we have ever done it i must admit i did half know it as well napoleon

10:31had a brother yes so uh napoleon's brother was called jerome and jerome i think had children with an american woman and eventually came along this person called charles and charles served in the cabinet of theodore roosevelt and he was a u.s secretary of the navy at one stage a bonaparte but then he established the bureau of investigation in 1908 and that later became the fbi which the fbi was actually started by um what's his name um The guy who had the big damn Hoover. Hoover, yeah. So Hoover really did the FBI, but it was based on this old BOI, which was started by Charles Bonaparte. Wow. That's crazy. But I guess America and France have been allies for a long time. Oh yeah. Well, mostly because they both hate the English.

11:20That's right. But yeah. Quite notable. I mean, I know it's not Napoleon himself, but that's a very close connection. And the Secret Service was set up by Lincoln just before his assassination. There was a meet. It was like one of the last meetings that he ever had was to set up the Secret Service. Who did the CIA? You know, Stalin's granddaughter? Maybe they wouldn't tell us if it was. That'd be the first order of business um that's very good very nice uh should i do another one yeah i'm bringing us back to sport here because sam bailey has said the first person ever to flip the bird in a photograph was a baseball player called old hoss radbourne and it was in 1886 he was a baseball player who there's this extraordinary black and white team photo where

12:06he sat there stone faced and he's just got his middle finger up. It's the best. He looks like Droopy the dog. It's just a total serious face. And that's flipping the bird. Flipping the bird is giving a middle finger. In America they say flipping the bird. Got it, got it, got it. Yeah, yeah. Not familiar with that one. I'm less familiar with it. I wouldn't use it with total confidence in a sentence Flipped me the bird What would you call it? Giving you the finger Fingered me in extremis If I'm short of time That's what I'll say I actually think that might end up taking up more of your time When you explain the difference Between the two fingerings No I'm going gonna drive up and alongside him and finger him right back actually yeah uh that's really cool yeah do we know for

12:52sure that that's what he meant well it seems to be implied that that's the first example of it being caught so i think the intention sounds as if it if it was um interestingly it was uh used in a harold lloyd movie as well called speedy which was in 1928 harold lloyd's character gives himself the finger your fingers himself in a distorting mirror at luna park um really yeah uh sorry and does that pre that post dates it yeah but just surprising i would never have thought that like a charlie chaplin or buster keaton movie would have a swear word with a middle finger you know you don't see stan laurel giving it to hardy i'm sure he wanted to um but i wonder if it was a thing that was not quite well known enough that everyone would have known oh that's very rude that should not be in

13:39the film i wonder if it was like a little thing like a little sneaky yeah yeah on the other hand it's just to represent a penis right yeah so you would think it had happened for time immemorial that people have been doing that i think we might have mentioned before that it's a it's an ancient historical thing which shows the and the the bits of your fingers on either side represent the testicles right maybe yeah because there's all the stuff about the v sign being supposedly archers english archers which i think is not true oh okay right yeah i think it was the um people at the battle of hastings who were doing the yo-yo to show that they hadn't had their yo-yo finger cut off they would show it to the french there's an one interesting modern example of it being used

14:21in a place you might not expect it and that that is on a postage stamp. And this is... The queen. No, the true queen. No, this is... If you look really carefully, you can just see. This is, it's a Ukrainian stamp and it's commemorating a moment from the first day of the war with Russia where Snake Island was attacked by Russian missile cruiser and there was a guard who was standing along the island and the last communication with the warship that he had was russian warship go fuck yourself and they've done a postage stamp of him standing looking at the cruiser just putting his middle finger up and that And that's an official stamp now in Ukraine. Wow. Yeah. Here's one from Orla Shortall. My fact is that the Sean O'Casey Bridge in Dublin

15:11couldn't work for four years because the remote control that opened it so ships could pass got lost. Did they check down the back of the sofa? They checked everywhere. It took four years to get a new remote control. Yeah. I can't imagine that this is a key bridge for global shipping, though. Do you know what I mean? As in, surely they'd have fixed it faster. I have a feeling it got you quite far down the Liffey. It meant that quite a lot of ships couldn't get all the way to where they needed to go. Really? If memory serves about this, because I do half remember the story. Yeah. There was an office move, and the remote control just got lost in the course of the move. You know what it's like.

15:44Everything's in boxes. Yeah, yeah. A nightmare. and the remote control just got lost in the course of a move. You know what it's like. Everything's in boxes. Yeah, yeah, nightmare. And they just couldn't find it. And it was about the size of a normal remote control because it was a remote control. I can't imagine a remote control. Yeah. That's what this one was like. They should have made it much bigger because then they wouldn't have lost it. They should have made it much bigger. You're right. That's great. So there's probably still some family over there who's sitting in front of the TV. Whose TV hasn't been working for 10 years. And they won't give up. God, bloody. We've changed the batteries.

16:09Just walk over. It's fine. You know, it's good exercise. Every time the chase finishes, they open the bridge by accident. People are being pinged into the air. Stop the podcast.

You might know me from Glee. This is At The Table, the food allergy podcast, a show about food, connection, and what it really looks like to live with food allergies. Each episode, we hear stories from real people like Daniel. People would always think I was lactose intolerant, so I just kind of shortened my explanation to I'm deathly allergic in a big way that defined a lot of my childhood. And while there are challenges, there are moments that remind you you're not alone. One of the best guys that I dated, he made a point to memorize all my food allergies. So join us and hear their

17:44stories and more. Because living with food allergies isn't just about what you can't eat. It's about still having your seat at the table. Brought to you by Genentech and Novartis.

Are we riddling you this if you like how could a dog make whiskey it could is it something to do with like those dogs that used to turn meat by running around in a oh that's good a turn spit dog turn spit dog is it like it's not that is it whiskey um is it like that as i said you know the civet coffee oh yeah where it's not that is it whiskey um is it like that as i said you know the civet coffee oh yeah where

19:08it's all been partially digested by a civic cat so someone has to go through some dog shit to find what the hops that they make the whiskey all the grades it's grain isn't it so it's yeah i guess yeah yeah what i'm saying is do you think that would improve the taste of the whiskey i'm not a big whiskey fan all the malt has been shot out by a dog so it's small batch obviously they don't keep the dogs there they have to collect the dog shit from those little plastic bags that are hung on trees in parks so someone goes out collecting them all. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. It's not that. It's not that, is it? No, it's not that. Weirdly, it's not that. It's a great guess, Andy. Did we name the whisky company?

19:55I just wondered if they might have said it. William Grant and Sons. I'd just like to apologise to William Grant for suggesting. Okay, yeah. I don't drink whisky, but I know Andy does, so if William Grant and Sons would like to send us some whiskey, then Andy would very happily try it out. Yeah, absolutely. It must be horrific at the Johnny Walker factory when the word walker's said and all the dogs jump up. So excited. Very good. Lovely. And there's the joke. No, it is. They are sniffer dogs, basically. They sniff the wood of the casks for mustiness and other tiny faults. Basically, for anyone who doesn't know, to make whiskey, you put your alcohol in big barrels and then the tannins or something of the wood go into the alcohol and that's what gives whiskey its taste.

20:42But if your wood has gone off slightly or if there's some other problems then you wouldn't know for like 20 years until it's matured whether it'll be bad or not and so you get these dogs who can tell the difference quite early and exactly what they're trained to smell is a secret we don't know oh it's one of those trade secrets but we do know that they're sniffing the casks. That's really cool. Yeah, great fact. Yeah. Thank you, Mark. Should I do one more? Yeah, let's do one more. Okay, well, this is quite fun, this one. This is just kind of a shout out to a kid who's doing amazing stuff out there. Sent in by Megan Walker. Down boy. I was talking to a dog there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might be listening right now.

21:24But you were looking dead into my eyes. An 11-year-old boy has opened a natural history museum in Cambridge, Illinois, and he might be the fishiest kid I've seen. Get him on the pod. And she sent a link. And this is a kid. He's 11, Anderson Taylor, who was recently awarded the Guinness World Record for being the youngest male curator of a museum. And he opened the Cambridge Natural History Museum on the 10th of August, 2024. He was just nine days old and three... Sorry. I've heard of some prodigies in my life. Jesus. I can imagine his parents. What were you doing for the first eight days lazy bastard he was nine years and 340 days old the 340 because this is guinness giving you the exact right day to beat um but it started when he was three years old he was watching a show on

22:19dinosaurs and he decided he wanted to go and find some fossils. So he went out to his driveway and remarkably, there was a fossil in his yard. Wow. Yeah, which to me smells of parents laying down. You think it was a plant? No, I think it was a fossil. And there's the joke. So he finds it in his yard, jumpstarts his passion for paleontology. And then when he's seven, he applies to his local councils, I think, to the city. And they go, no, you're seven. It took a few rounds for them to be convinced of it. He did a GoFundMe, which allowed them to buy the building that it's in. Come back when you're eight, all right? But now he's running it. And they've got a bunch of fossils in there a bunch of minerals

23:05um artifacts uh native american artifacts taxidermy animals and uh yeah a few paw patrol ties uh well that's wonderful congratulations young man yeah well done buddy go far yeah well look we've got to move on now it's time for section two which is always huge fun is where we give out our own headline facts from years ago to anyone who has joined clubfish at the friend of the podcast tier go to patreon.com slash clubfish have a look at all the things you can get on clubfish there are bonus episodes there are extra long episodes there's all sorts of stuff and if you join at the top tier you get one of our headline facts to be your pet in perpetuity so let's give out a few now we put the pet in perpetuity really good uh shall i read one this is for lucas lucas you now

23:54have the fact that archers at the battle of agincourt had three arrows in the air at any given moment i love this fact this is one of mine. And it's that you'd have one you'd just fired, one that was halfway in the air and one that was about to hit a Frenchman because they could fire so quickly. Yeah. It's a point about archers. It wasn't three at once. It was... Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, they weren't doing sort of lazy Robin Hood stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But didn't they... I thought they also had, like, a couple of layers of archers, like when one of them's reloading, the other one's firing. I think they probably would. think they probably would yeah yeah but an individual archer would have ideally and also it's very um because these were long bows and they were really really hard to

24:34pull right oh yeah you had to be unbelievably strong and then when they found the fossils or the bones of these people and they had like one massive arm like Rafa Nadal and one tiny arm like a T-Rex. That's basically it. That's it. Yeah. And when their fossils were found, there was a nearby seven-year-old boy who said, I'll have that. But yeah, amazing. Okay, the next one. This is now under the custodianship of Charlotte Blackwell Gates. And Charlotte, your fact is that right-handed marmosets are braver than left-handed marmosets. Hmm. Really good. Interesting. But do we know why? Would it be that so much of life is built for people who are right-handed and more so, and I know we're not talking about humans here.

25:21I think those marmosets find it so hard to use scissors. The thing that Anna said is that they freeze for longer when faced with a predator. They're more cautious about new food and they have a more negative outlook. I think I'm the only lefty around this table. Yeah. And I think ding, ding, ding. Yeah. That's me. Yeah. Negative outlook, cautious about new food. That's me. What was the third one? I freeze when faced with a predator maybe if you're if being lefty is rare among marmosets then you're a bit just you feel a bit less confident to deal with the world because all the other marmosets are using their right hand to high-five each other i don't know i don't know it's the tiny things isn't it i don't know why it

26:02would be yeah do you find it harder to high- five people being a left-handed person yeah it's a nightmare do you really i would have thought actually if you were to if me and dan high five each other yeah we're gonna do it now okay our bodies are quite far away from each other but if i was to high five you your left hand with my right hand we would be quite close to kissing because our heads will be directly next to each other so that must be really awkward well I'm still thinking on face to face with a predator I don't know I don't have a good explanation for this very interesting though alright here's one that goes out to Kate Georgia and it's a great one it's that the French saying avoir le top au guichet

26:43means to have a mole at the counter meaning you really need a poo. Oh dear. Oh yeah. There's a mole at the counter. Yeah. This I think was not a headline fact. Oh really? We went through a vanishingly brief phrase where people could say look I'd really like that particular fact. What an odd one to choose. So someone selected that. Kate's already got the phrase tattooed on her so someone selected that case already got the the phrase tattooed on her so it made sense for her to pick the third um i don't know why she wanted this one i think maybe it had just become a a thing in her house to say that it sort of entered the household lexicon yes they heard it on the show they've started saying it that yeah yeah yeah

27:22absolutely very right i just like to point out that that became unmanageably complicated, the request system. So we have now shut it down. You get a wonderful random fact from our archive, such as... Well, this one goes out to Kate Knox. Tchaikovsky used to hold his head when conducting because he was afraid it would fall off. Had he done a lot of long distance cycling? Did he have Shermer's neck? It's a thing that we mentioned in the show or Dan mentioned, whereby if you cycle for a long time, your neck muscles stop working and you have to hold your head up. The reason I bring it up is because someone messaged me on Instagram yesterday saying my friend who does a lot of cycling thinks you made that up

28:02and thinks it came from AI. So can you prove that up and thinks it came from ai so can you prove that it's not please oh and it took about two seconds of googling to show that it wasn't made up and i sent them a link and we're all good but yeah because i did use ai and that's very lucky that was a lucky escape i think perhaps ai has now gone into the internet and created a load of sources. Oh, yeah. Probably read my Instagram private messages and thought, oh, guys, we need to get the gang together and sort this out. No, I did. I read it in quite a few places. I mean, because it is true. But it's yeah. There's like proper medical journals that describe it. Yeah. And there's been quite a few comments on places where people who can comment on that specific episode have said, my friend had that and things like that. it so yeah and there's been quite a few comments on places where people

28:45who can comment on that specific episode have said my friend had that and things oh really yeah yeah which is very interesting ironically you had to look up whether it was real or not whereas if you have got this condition you can't look up because you're an ex-con very good indeed yes very good the next one here is now under the custodianship of dennis boatel and dennis your fight is that asthmatic otters can be taught to use inhalers adorable adorable that is so good an asthmatic otter is cute enough but one using a little inhaler maybe a little furry inhaler oh yeah don't otters have pockets as well do they keep it in their pocket of course they do you've got to have it on you at all times exactly i thought it was their pocket? Of course they do. You've got to have it on you at all times.

29:25I thought it was their armpits that were their pockets. Okay. They've got a body pocket somewhere is what I meant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you're thinking of a phrase as wet as an otter's pocket. I've not heard that. Have you not? What does it mean? Very wet. Oh, I understand. It's not one of those that you need to get a couple of different levels. Difficult phrases that James keeps chucking out. There's no mole at the counter. Right, come on, let's drag it out of the gutter now and let's give a fact out to Reaper Fox. Pretty cool. We've had moles, otters, and now a fox. That's nice. Your appendix can be turned into a sphincter. And that's yours, Reaper Fox. Yes. But your fact today is completely separate.

30:13No, it's that your appendix can be turned into a sphincter, which is very useful stuff. It's in surgery. They can repurpose your appendix, which you don't need. Yeah. But if you are having um sort of gastric surgery you might need a new sphincter uh sphincter is any muscular opening right basically but this is this is one of the key sphincters for for weeing out of as it were so you know to control uh to control things down there and um isn't that good about the appendix that's amazing is it is it just yours for your own sphincter or is it if you're getting your appendix taken out do they put it in a fridge until it's needed for someone else's fantastic question don't know i don't know if it has to be yours or if your

30:54body will reject it if it was the wrong kind of whatever but no good point i think the appendix has been shown to have some uses these days like it's useful in the immune system and the right kind of stuff right yeah yeah it's not quite as useless as people thought uh okay here's another one this is for brandon tan your fact is the founder of crufts designed the founder of crufts designed special train carriages for celebrity dogs crusts what did i say did i say crusts it was unclear what you said it was okay it certainly weren't crufts it felt weird coming out the founder of crufts oh It was unclear what you said. It certainly weren't Crufts. It felt weird coming out. The founder of Crufts.

31:27Oh, I can't say it. No. I actually can't say that. Crufts. Wow. I can't say it. Do you want me to do this one? Sure. But that's amazing in its own sense. Why don't you just say the founder of the world's most famous dog show. Crufts. Designed special train carriages for celebrity dogs. Here's a question. When you are in the army and you don't have to wear your uniform, you call it Mufti. Yeah. Can you say that? Mufti. Mufti Day. Huh. So it's not the F-T. No. It's the extra S at the end. F-T-S. Mufties. No, I can do that. F-T-S. Yeah. Mufts. Try that. Mufts. Then you're there. You're rhyming. Crufts. I can't. No, I can do that. FTS, yeah. Muffs. Try that. Muffs. Then you're there. You're rhyming.

32:06Crufts. I can't. No. What's going on? That is strange, isn't it? Well, the founder of Crufts. Oh, look at you. Was called Charles Cruft. Here's a question. Yeah. So, like, an old word for a farm is called a cruft. Oh, yeah. Can you say crofts? Crofts. No. So, right. It's the FTS. Okay. FTS. Well, good thing you weren't mates with Charles Croft, the founder of Crofts, because you'd have had a very awkward time. Should we invite Charles to the wedding? Oh, no, no. I've been avoiding him for years. It's terrible. I wouldn't be able to take attendance at the wedding. Or thank him in the speeches as well. He's been so generous over the years, but I just can't mention his name. How big is the FTS community?

32:55I don't think it is huge, which is why you've been able to sneak through for so many years without getting away with it. You know the room at the very top of your house that some people call an attic? I would call it a loft. So if there's more than one of those i would have two lofts if you were feeling the christmas radio times and saying feel the heft of that but of course you were carrying two copies of the christmas radio times i love love what you're doing with your hands now. It's like six, seven. What would you be feeling, Dan? Feel the... What would I be feeling? The hefts. The hefts? I sound like a drummer. The hefts. There we go. That's the only way to get into it. The hefts. Oh, so close.

It's quite fun, though, isn't it it's fun yeah brandon tan i hope that you're happy that you've absolutely demolished dan's um formerly spotless reputation for pronouncing words right uh okay this is the final one i think for today and it is now under the custodianship of amanda and amanda your fact is a bit of a classic i think when something thought to be a meteorite actually turns out to be an ordinary rock, it's called a meteorong. Lovely. Lovely fact. That is a classic, isn't it? I think so. I feel like you and I, Dan, might have recently been to the Natural History Museum and someone had shown us a meteorong. Yeah, exactly. I can't remember who.

34:26I don't think we knew this beforehand, Andy. As in, I don't think it was one sitting in the wings. What do you mean, one sitting in the wings? Like, as you say, we all know the fact and then maybe I couldn't find the fact that week and I said, oh, can I use the old meteorong? Everything that Andy has ever found is something that he's literally found within the last seven days. Often within the last seven seconds before the meeting.
