I am joined by Daniel Schreiber and Andrew Hunter-Murray and we are here to look at your best facts. We are the team from No Six Things Are Fish, the famous podcast that goes around looking for facts and then talking about them.

1:42But in this show, we don't look for facts because we're given them from the lovely viewers. So's got a fact i got a fact this is from luke megan and the fact is to make crunchy peanut butter you first have to make smooth peanut butter then add the crunchy back in is that true yeah it is because you would think you would just not smooth it quite enough, wouldn't you? That's what the assumption is. Like, are they doing that to orange juice? Are they popping the bits back in after? I don't know. I don't know either. I bet they are. There we go. This is huge. I found verification for this through a podcast called The Peanut Podcast. What's it about? It's about that cartoon with Charlie Brown in it.

2:24Yes, yeah. No no it's a bunch of peanut experts uh getting together and some people work for peanut butter you know and others and this came up on the show and it was revealed that yeah that is how they do it do you think at the start of this podcast we're gonna have to disclaimer that this podcast might contain small parts of the peanut podcast if you're on a plane please don't play this podcast episode out loud yeah in case there's anyone on there with an airborne peanut podcast allergy uh that's really good it's cool that's really awesome yeah i didn't know that i didn't know how that was made and now i know i will tell everyone whenever i see a bit of crunchy peanut butter that's wild yeah crazy is i think it's almost more crazy there's a peanut podcast no i've now moved on

3:11to the next you know like my frontier of what is normal yeah yeah expanded to include that peanut the overton window right yeah i'm gonna go out here and say it dan is a regular peanut butter eater and andy very rarely has peanut butter how do you know that it smears around the mouth isn't it it's just a feeling am i right or wrong correct and correct well well let's go deeper am i a smooth or a crunchy man oh i think you're a smoothie and crunch all the way well no no i was talking about your general persona being so smooth. Sorry. Yes. I was talking about your body. Yes. As we know, it's very hairy, but only the exposed bits. Completely hairless. Yes, exactly. Like one of those shaved poodles, aren't you?

3:56Yeah, I am. That's where I get my haircuts, actually, those poodle shots. I'm always in the window. In one of those slings yeah the little sling i don't know these poodle slings have you not seen dog uh hairdressers where they oh they there's a grooming shop they'll have a table up you know normal height table that's not the interesting bit but they put the dog on a table and then they put a kind of sling under his tummy down they so i think so they can i don't know what is it so it doesn't run away is it like a hammock it's like a hammock but both ends of the dog stick out because of course like hundreds of dogs used to die from falling off the top of those boxes before that didn't they andy have you got something for us yes you. You're not going to like it. Maybe one that you do like?

4:46I like it. Oh, you like it? Oh, it's one that I personally am not going to like. I think neither of you guys are going to like it, but I love it. From Karina Rain about an Australian beach. Danical's from Australia. Have you ever been to North Queensland? It's a big place, so yeah. Have you ever been to Port Douglas? I've not. I know of it okay well there is a beach in port douglas in tropical north queensland in australia that is called four mile beach oh yeah but i'm afraid it is only two and a half miles long and the theory is that it is named after the four mile family oh is there a family called the four miles it is a surname four mile is it but i think there's a few of those and might even be a few in australia that are like

5:3111 kilometer beach that is actually 12 kilometers there's quite a few like that i think there's also a bridge in anglesey which is called four mile bridge is that as you'd expect it's not four miles long it's the as all about angle c.co.uk describes it it's a rather unimpressive low stone bridge okay and it's so named because it's the fourth milestone from holyhead i didn't know this and i think most people in america would know it but i was really surprised so if you are on a freeway in america interstate and you go past junction 23 what do you think the next junction is going to be 24 yeah or 22 if you're going in the other direction right i suppose so i'm Lord of that it turns out in many states the numbering isn't consecutive

6:19and actually it's the number of miles down the road. So if you're at Junction 23, it's because you're 23 miles from the start of the road. And so the next one might be Junction 27. That's crazy. I've never heard that before. I guess some Americans will be like, yeah, duh. Yeah, that's really cool. As a British person, you would always think if you're at 22 and you need to get off at the next one, it's going to be 23. Yeah, I think that's the worst system. Well, in a way, for us, it's bad. But I guess it tells you more information than our junctioning system tells you. Yeah, I suppose so. As long as I'm not looking for junction 24. Yeah. In my example, there isn't a junction 24. That's what I'm saying.

7:02When you stop the car and go, I'm sorry, honey, we've got it. No, I'll come off at 27, go all the the way around get back on at 27 going the other way keep going find junction 23 again oh you must have missed it right come off go all the way around again right just we're gonna go in the slow lane this time nice and careful nightmare who's giving you an address for a junction that doesn't exist though well you might be on the wrong road oh you're on the wrong road. I'm already on the wrong road. Okay, well. Because there's some bloody thing that happened with, like, junction, you know, one. Yeah. You know, whatever. We've got bigger problems then than their numbering system. Your ability to get on a road is...

7:35Everyone in the car is unhappy, that's all, because of this silly system. Yeah, right. I blame the system. I do. Okay, well, I think it's my turn for another fact. This is from Ashleyley pritchard and ashley says my favorite fact comes from personal experience if you donate a kidney as a living donor your remaining kidney will grow to compensate for the loss pretty cool will it go will it go to double the size of your first kidney no it'll grow to between 20% and 40% of its original size. It's a lot bigger. But it'll continue to function as normal. And it's called compensatory hypertrophy. That is incredible. I'm sure we've said before that when you get a kidney, they keep the old ones in. So if someone donates a kidney to you,

8:21you've then got three kidneys. And then if they donate another one, you've got four, and that just keeps going. Really? Yeah, yeah. It doesn't. You can't keep going forever. Well, until they stop. This man has all kidneys. That's why he died. Yeah, at some point when you're doing the surgery, you're going, which one is the kidney that I need to be? Well, it doesn't matter because you're just having another one in. Yeah, but what happens if you then get renal problems? And they're like, like okay we need to put some um some cream on this i assume that's what i do i need to put some cream on this kidney to solve his renal issues perfectly simple procedure today mr harkin we're just going to open you up pop a bit of cream on the affected kidney stick you up again i know it sounds

8:59invasive you'd think we'd have found a better way of giving you the medicine in pill form, but we can't. It only comes as a cream. Soda cream's good, though, isn't it? It's a wonderful product. Yeah, that's very cool. Are there other parts of the body? I guess there isn't. So if you lose a hand, your other hand doesn't grow, obviously. If you lose a tip of a finger before the age of three or four, it regrows, I think. It is mad. It is mad. That is mad. Should I read out of fact? Yeah, go for it. All right. This comes in from Tom Wright, who says the musical genre Yacht Rock was invented as a joke for a Channel 101 web series in the early 2000s, but it suited the music so well it was quickly adopted as a legit genre of music

9:46before i read the ending here we all know yacht rock right so i didn't until we've been researching the y series of qi and one of the other researchers came up with it but it's basically very easy going soft rock music that you might like on a yacht yeah exactly it's kind of like steely dan or the doobie brothers all the kind of people i listen to. Yacht rock is my genre, really. Well, that's why we call you Smooth Dan. Because you listen to smooth music. That makes sense, yeah. But check this out. The people who invented the genre are still responsible for qualifying if the music is yacht rock or not. Yeah, because actually I think it's quite a vague thing isn't it like it's just something that when you hear it you're like oh that'd be quite nice on a yacht yeah and

10:30it turns out that just if a band is a yacht rock style band it doesn't mean that every bit of their music goes in so interestingly these guys have a yacht rock podcast um it's been a very exciting week for me of new discoveries in the podcast world do you ever think there might be too many podcasts this one is this one is wonderful it it could do i'm not i don't want to knock the yacht rock uh pod but uh it could do with a bit of sound balance but what they do is people enter a song to be considered to be yacht rock and they play the whole song in the background while they discuss the merits and they grade it out of the hundred and i think it's if they get over if they get over a score of 50 it is deemed yacht and if it's below it's not that's very clever yeah it feels

11:15like they might have rights issues if they're playing entire songs i wonder if that's why they're talking very loudly over the song as it goes along but you get like five or six songs per episode and it's the same four guys who created it as the official people. I got a question. Yeah. As a musician, I feel that you might not want to be yacht rock. It's a bit like dad rock. Might be not very cool. I think that's a really good point. A bit like cozy fiction or whatever. It's called cozy crime fiction. People don't like to be called that. Yeah, I don't know. There's something a bit off-putting yeah you know it sounds like you're a bit of an elitist maybe if you're writing it for people who own a yacht well yeah exactly but

11:52it is also um it's it's a retroactive thing no one's no one's actively i mean some bands i'm sure have started writing what they think qualifies as yacht rock but um but you also have like different people who own yachts like you have squillionaires who have yachts, like mega yachts. And then you have wealthy boomers, let's say, who've worked very hard their whole life and they've decided to buy a yacht. And then you've got attractive young people who go and have a yacht party. Yes. So where does the, like, let's say, for instance, you've got a Jay-Z song that some people who are on a yacht might like. Does that count as yacht rock or not not allowed i'm afraid they're all these 20 year olds listening to steely dan

12:29um but anyway yeah give that podcast a listen if you fancy it because it was it was fun i've got all of the peanut podcasts to catch up on first but yes stop the podcast stop the podcast hi Stop the podcast. Hi, everybody. We are sponsored this week by Progressive. That's right. So everyone talks about how challenging it is to raise kids. But what about protecting them?

This is Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas. Ever given a gift that kind of just fell flat oh yeah you can always tell because they they say what it is out loud like oh wow sucks thank you yeah definitely it's definitely happened to me you think you nailed it and then you see their face and immediately realize yeah maybe i should have gone with something they'd actually be excited to open now just skip the gift you thought they would like and you should probably just go to Sephora. Because Sephora is basically the secret to gifts that always deliver joy.

13:48And their beauty advisors make it easy on you. Even if you're not a beauty shopper, tell them who you're shopping for and they'll point you towards something perfect. That's nice. Or bring them your whole list. Their gifts are honestly so good. So this holiday season, instead of getting in your own head about it, let's all say it together. We all Sephora. You get to skip the stress and still give a truly thoughtful gift. And everyone you love ends up with something they'll adore. The kind of thing they'd never think of or ask for, but secretly, deep down, we're really hoping for. Shop gifts at Sephora and give something beautiful. Hi, I'm Jenna Oshkowitz. You might know me from Glee. This is At The Table, the food allergy podcast,

14:24a 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 stories 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. Listen to At The Table, the food allergy podcast

15:08on America's number one podcast network, iHeart. Follow At The Table and start listening on the free iHeartRadio app today. All right, here's another one. I love this one. This is from Joey Rickert. Forgive me if you've covered this content before, but every licensed masseur in South Korea for several centuries has been visually impaired. Yeah. Ooh, that's interesting. So they can't perv? No. Oh. Interesting that your brain went there. I believe it's so that people who are visually impaired have a job that they can guarantee to get. That's it, James. And they're all perverts, of course. But the thing is, it's not really observed. So there are maybe roughly 10,000 licensed masseurs in South Korea

16:02who are all blind or very visually impaired. But there are hundreds of thousands of sports massage places and people working there. The national sports teams hire masseurs who are sighted. So it's kind of on... It's only on it in the breach. It's completely disregarded. Most sighted masseurs don't do the technical three years in prison you can get. I know! I believe there's been controversy about this i remember reading a while ago that people are complaining about it and want to overturn the rule yes and i can't remember if it's the visually impaired people or the sports massage people who did it but i remember there being something it's it's the. It's the people who are doing this unofficial massaging.

16:48So 2008, there was a chance that the law might be struck down in the Supreme Court. Several people died in massive protests over who can or can't enter the trade. But even in 2018, there was another wave of decision over it and they confirmed again no, this is the rule. So it seems like it's just going to keep on being the rule. Yeah. But the pervert, the sighted perverts want into the trade. Yeah. Okay. Here is a fact from Peter Pulseford. And Peter says, hi, enjoying your podcast here in HK, which I assume is High Street Kensington. Not really sure. And Petereter says a fun fact you probably have heard but it tickles me is that when you say the word nanocentury fairly slowly it takes about a nanocentury cool so nano is 10 to the minus nine so so it's 0.000008 times then 1.

17:46And that proportion of 100 years, you get 3.156, which is pretty close to pi. Seconds. Seconds, yeah. Wow. And so if you say nanocentury, then that would take just over three seconds. Hang on, I'm going to try doing it exactly on the nanocentury, then that would take just over three seconds. Hang on, I'm going to try doing it exactly on the nanocentury. You were looking at the time as you did it. Yeah, is that not allowed? Say it without looking so that we can see what your speed is. Oh, I don't know. You're saying you're cheating. I'm saying you're cheating. You were fitting the word to the time. What's wrong with that? I was trying to get it right so I knew how to say it. Oh, okay. I thought you were challenging to see whether or not a slow version of it is a nanocentury.

18:28No, I believe the email. Okay. Well, this has felt like 4,000 nanocenturies. We should move on. Dan, have you got one for us? I do. This is from Scott Gableline. My fact is about Meatloaf. Several of the songs on Meatloaf's iconic 1977 album bat out of hell including the title track were originally written for a musical based on peter pan but the composer jim steinman could not get the necessary rights from the jm barry estate isn't that amazing repurposed the peter pan songs to be about a batter as they must have changed the lyrics right because there's no way bat out of hell which is mentioned in the song yeah that can't be about peter pan right no exactly they both fly though don't they they do and they're

19:16in a mythical environment like a bat out of hell i can fly in a mythical environment i do see that i'm seeing seeing Broadway now all of a sudden. I am feeling it. Yeah, I mean, that's an amazing fact and it is very theatrical. Are you not going to tell us about a meat love podcast that you've been listening to? I don't want you guys. That's my personal favorite one. I hate it when my podcast suddenly boom and everyone's a fan. That's for me. Quickie from Mark N. Yeah. My fact, smartphones aren't vegan. Okay. Oh, no. I know. Bad news. Stop eating them. If you're a vegan, stop eating them. If you open up a modern smartphone, you'll find it's writhing with meat. Is it? Yeah. Yeah. I thought it was just Apple.

19:58No. Damn it. Oh, my God. Is it some kind of like cream they put inside it? Some kind of cream. Some kind of lubricating stuff? It genuinely is. Yeah. Oh, is it? It is. So, right, I'm going to read this. Semiconductor manufacturing requires stearic acid. Stearic acid. And the most abundant and cheap source of this is animal fats. There are plant-based alternatives, but they have reduced effectiveness or increased cost. The acid itself is primarily used for creating thin film electrical insulators between nanoscopic capacitors. I'm sorry. That's cheating. You were reading that. That's cheating. Or forming a barrier blocking atomic level deposition of metals when building chips to more accurately place metals.

20:46I'm teaching you guys to suck eggs. I know that we all know this stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, there you go. So, I mean, it's pretty close to vegan, obviously. Yeah, there must be such tiny amounts in there. And I'm sure you can probably buy phones that are really, really, really vegan, maybe, if you really try hard i bet you can i bet you can unfortunately dan's used up the apple joke now so we can't um we can't you were there so quickly you've actually i should have paused and it's happened too soon yeah i'm so sorry culminating point on that bit okay well very good facts as they all have been this week as they all are every week but now it is time for us to bestow custodianship of some of our facts on to some of our friends of the podcast if you

21:32would like your own no such things are fish facts then go to patreon.com slash no such things are fish and all the information is there so who is our first new custodian today? Right, here's one. It goes out to Johanna Danaha. Terrific name. Yeah. Really pleasing to say. Johanna Danaha. That's what I said. I was just trying it out myself. It's good, isn't it? It's lovely. Yeah. Johanna, your fact is the Swiss city of Lausanne has banned silent discos for being too loud. And this is because people shout and sing along. And stomp. Maybe order things at the bar. Yeah. And do it wee loudly. Oh, yeah. Can you keep it down at that? Freeze. Piss cops. Wow. What? It's not your best cop drama idea you've pitched.

22:26Dan, I've used so many nouns. I'm down to really twight. You're down to piss cop. You're in trouble. There we go. That's the tagline. All right. I'm investing now. Okay. This next fact goes out to Margarita Kaminskite believe is your name and the fact is the giant squid's brain is wrapped around its throat so if it eats anything too large it risks brain injury that's wild you risk brain injury trying to pronounce that name as well margarita uh please do get in touch with dan directly uh to ask for an apology for how you pronounce your surname i apologize in advance okay that was a butchering um giant squid you got a great you got a great fact quite a few animals don't they have a situation where

23:17things wrap around their head i think it's the woodpeckers woodpeckers yeah the tongue does that's wild there's that bat the Anura fistulata, which has the very, very, very long tongue to get down the tubes of flowers. And it sort of has to keep its tongue like partly in its thorax because it's got this massive long tongue. Fistulata. Fistulata, I know. Tongue, you know. Oh, my God. Guys, you're in terrific form today, and I just want to apologise for Pisco. OK, the next one. Oh, this is really difficult to pronounce. The custodian of the next fact is JB. JB, that's your initials. And your fact is that in 2005 there were plans to make a 50 foot tall robot Michael Jackson that would roam around the Nevada

24:13desert. Probably for the best it wasn't created and then let loose I think probably if it had been made it might not still be extant although it would take a lot of people to dump that into I think probably if it had been made, it might not still be extant. Although it would take a lot of people to dump that into the river one day. I think we'll have to crack that. Yes, your extra detail on this was that the plan was to have lasers shooting out of its eyes. Today I know you probably could do that, couldn't you? Do you think? Well, they've got very good walking robots these days. Yeah. And you can program in that it should walk around. And so far, they've all been sort of average height, sort of a human height.

24:50Yeah. We've not seen any 50-footers. Doesn't seem like you couldn't make a 50-footer, though. Why not? I think there are rules of physics that mean the taller you get, the more cumbersome things become. Right. Yeah. Right. OK, so that could be tricky. That's interesting. Could be. I think more likely likely if I was a super intelligence I'd be making tiny robots But they all talk to each other Super intelligent swarm of tiny robots Do they also have the brain of a dead celebrity Peter Fowler? It's Bill Cosby actually Oh god Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear So you've been sentenced to death You can be killed by one of our two robots There's either the giant Michael Jackson Or the tiny Bill Cosby's This is what you got robot wants

25:41Okay Well alright let's have another fact This one goes out to Aaron Moore So he got robot water. Okay. Well, all right, let's have another fact. This one goes out to Aaron Moore, and it's that in the 16th century, people disliked hedgehogs because it was believed that they sucked cow's udders. Wow. And people obviously wanted their milk. That's very interesting. Yeah. And even later on, there was a book in the 19th century which said, look, it's actually, this is a myth. It's actually not possible for hedgehogs to drain cow's very interesting. Yeah. And even later on, there was a book in the 19th century which said, look, it's actually, this is a myth. It's actually not possible for hedgehogs to drain cows udders.

26:10I'm going to read another one out. This is from Bernadette Latimer. You are now the custodian of the English philosopher Herbert Spencer had an angry suit made, which he only wore when he was feeling irritable. It's a really nice idea. It's a lovely idea. Especially if it was, I don't know what his was like i can't remember what we said but i think you would make it really colorful maybe with some tassels on it just some kind of thing that would really cheer you up by just wearing it i thought you meant to warn people that you might become violent oh that's a good kind of does a double purpose doesn't it it's sort of warning people but for you it's it's yeah true apparently it was a bit like a sort of warning people, but for you, it's... Yeah, true.

26:45Apparently it was a bit like a sort of woolly onesie with shoes and a coat fitted onto it. That's fun. It does sound quite fun, actually. It does. But if you're struggling to get out of it because you need a wee, for example, then you probably only get angrier. I'm not trying to drag it back to Piscop. I'm just rocking up, yeah. Okay, here's the next one. This is now under the custodianship of amelia murphy and amelia your fact is that in order for spider-man to climb buildings he would need size 89 feet it's a funny premise so i think this is the idea that some insects or reptiles can climb up walls but they do so using van der Waals forces which means they have a very large surface area and tiny interactions between the foot and the wall can keep them attached

27:32and in order for us to do it to keep us attached at our weight we would need that size feet. It's very funny I actually don't know whether this is American foot sizes because in America I've got something like size 45 feet which is crazy no that's european right america's the same as ours plus one okay so i've got size 10 or 11 feet yeah but in europe i don't know if this is a european spider-man we're talking about you would just need twice the size of clown shoes basically yeah very cool i love those books they they there was a big flurry of them back in the early 2000s of like the physics of superheroes and all that's slightly disappeared well because we don't really have that many superhero movies anymore like they went quite out of fashion they still exist but it's not like

28:15the marvel things that used to come out every single year were absolutely huge they're not really the big box office hits anymore like quite often you're getting like cerebral horror movies coming out that are doing quite well and stuff like that yeah christopher nolan's high spec sci-fi like dune yeah still starring tom hollander of course um here's a fact for and no i watched the ones tom hollander in we have by the way we have a um a reward chart at home for the boys my three boys and they have to build their way to the end and what we um a reward chart at home for the boys my three boys and they have to build their way to the end and what we've written that they've asked for is their prize at the end

28:49if they get there so you need a certain number of stars to get the price it's like 11 stars or something and um so why not 10 that's so upsetting or even a dozen i wouldn't mind that it's just such a random number it's like 13 and a half stars or something and uh and so wilf has asked for he wants a wwe toy ted has asked for a pokemon toy and my youngest boodle has just asked for tom holland oh yeah that's just what he wants the historian yes he's a he's i've been trying to get him to listen to the peanut podcast but he's just obsessed with the rest of his history can't get him on it here's another one which goes out to sarah sarah your fact is the first water balloons were made out of socks wow pretty good i love that one and this is another this is an invention fact i

29:37think it was about a guy who was trying to um treat trench foot in the first world war a serious origin story for the for the beloved silly water balloon yeah uh he made latex socks and put water in and it didn't it didn't really work very well but it must have been a bit triggering for people who've been in the war getting sort of little grenades thrown at you yeah no if it's colorful then you know it's a balloon i think and that would be fun you think it's fine okay yeah i think so i don't want to put myself in that place and make an assumption all those films like um news pathé reels from the war they're all in black and white aren't they so we don't know that they weren't multi-colored grenades that's true they might

30:15have been yeah bright pink and yellow grenades being shot that's absolutely true um there's a follow-on fact by the way that we said in this show which is that self-tying water balloons have been invented okay they don't exist in my life so have you know they were invented but have they just not taken taken off yeah that's what i was questioning you know we've said it we said it's their self-tying water balloon yeah that's crazy how does that work yeah but none of us have heard of it since we said it on this podcast so clearly it's not taken off in the way that you know sometimes we say these facts and it feels like the future this will you know in two years this will be everyone's got self-tying water balloons

30:52yeah i would say water balloons are easier to tie than normal balloons because the weight of the water stretches the neck which gives you more tying latex very true so you need it for normal balloons i would say so because they're a right bollock to tie absolutely sure you get your finger caught in them do you just go around with the kid and the balloon if your fingers in there from then on it's worse when it's a helium one because i'm up by around the ceiling of the party not able to enjoy myself can't even reach the cake three weeks later you start slowly floating down or someone punctures and you go... around the room. Do we have time for one more custodian? Let's do it. This is for Brian Murawski.

31:33Your fact is you can't write in French on French computer keyboards. How interesting. And that's why France remains a completely pen and paper based society these days. What are you talking about? Is it something to do with the various different accents that they have? Yeah. Maybe in those days you couldn't get a circumflex. Oh, that might be it. Was it? I don't remember it now. Well, if you're French, then send us a letter. And we'll read it out and drop us a line. Is that why we get so few emails from the French? I think that must be it. That's why when we played France, we did that show in Paris, no one came. Oh, this is it. Yeah, just the existing keyboard was not terribly good for French to be written.

32:22And it was slightly things like accents on words. And it was not very intuitive or ergonomic. If you speak or write in French, there are certain letter combinations. I remember French keyboards, they begin with an A instead of a Q. So they're azerty, aren't they? Azerty, that's right. Yeah. And that's probably because Q is quite common in French, right? Any question word in French has got a Q in it. Quoi? Yeah. Quoi? Ouh? Not ooh, which means where. It's it's just oh you don't need a q for that one yeah thanks andy you don't want to get emails that bubble subscriptions really pay off okay well thank you very much to our custodians for becoming friends of the podcast, by whom this week I refer, of course, to Brian,
