Hello and welcome to another episode of Little Fish. My name is Andrew Hunter-Mari and joined by James Harkin and Anna Tugensky to present a selection of your best facts. You, the audience, you've been emailing podcast at QI.com, by gum you have been. And we've got some facts that we're going to be telling you now. Who's got a fact? Please, someone stop this introduction. I'll stop it.

I've got a fact. Yeah. It's from Manuel Funk. Or Funk, maybe. There's not a little couple of dots. An omelaut. Huge fat, thank you, an umlaut. Could be a diarisist, depending on the word.

But diureasus is a more embarrassing word to say, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got diureasus, yeah, yeah. He says, I'm a huge fan of the show. Thank you, Manuel. And he's got a fact that sounds like it was scripted by a lazy novelist, he said. But apparently we mentioned German... Why did you not give yourself this one, Andy?

Okay, that's rude. And his new book is out soon. The recently dismissed coach of Fortuna Dusseldorf is named Marcus Anfang, which translates to beginning. And he's been replaced by Alexander Ender. And Andy, you speak German. Do you know what Ender is? I think I do, yeah. It's end.

It's End, beginning and end. So there we go. And then he said, as an added fun fact, Marcus Anfang is no stranger to strange headlines. In 2021, he was fired because he'd faked his COVID vaccine. That's just a little. Is that fun? Faked a vaccine? Yeah. Well, he might have just had the little piece of paper that says you've had it and then written it down.

Yeah, sorry. He hasn't injected. You've got to go to a lot of effort to fake a whole, like fake a vaccination center. Fake a Lender Star, fake a cue. He did the paper, yeah. He didn't inject himself with saline solution. Wow. Okay.

Good. That's really good. We like to collect that. Yeah. It's interesting because normally you send me the funny football names and the. Yeah, I think you might have one. I do. Can I read it quickly while we're on the subject?

This came from Roy Mundy, and we'd done a fact about West Brom Managers being called Ron, Don, Ronnie, Ron. Ronnie and Ron. Yes. But he said in 1969, Aston Villa had three midfielders on their books. Jimmy Brown, Barry Hole, and Oscar Arse. This meant their midfield was Brown Ass, the Hole. Oh, my God.

And I would just like to say to Roy that I would. pronounce his name, Oscar Asse. Oh, me. Yeah, would you? And I'm fairly confident that that's how everyone pronounced it at the time. That's amazing, though. But, James, the mispronouncing for comic effect is now a long-established fish tradition, I think. Yes.

I thought it was your trademark. Yeah. I just wish I was a commentator in the 1960s. And it's brown ass hole. You'd be linched at the time, wouldn't you? For what? For being that rude on air? As in, would you not?

You'd be in huge trouble, I guess. You're only reading people's names. Just reading their names, Your Honor. What about Uvei Fuchs, the German? Yeah. There was a famous footballer whose name is basically Fuchs. Yeah, that's true. There's been lots of funny names.

What about Ariola, the goalkeeper? Ariola's not rude. It's a bit rude. What? Ariola Grande. She's rude. There's always, whenever he messes out, because he's a goalkeeper, they always say he made a bit of a tit of him.

That's funny. That's very good. It's a mean name to give your kid. There's no questioning that. It's his surname. Sorry. That makes sense. Here's one from Lackland Harris.

There's an American chain of membership warehouse stores. You know those things where you have to be a member, but you go and you get big discounts, right? Oh, I know what you mean. Is it cash and carry? Yeah, we have them in the UK, for sure. So there's a chain that started in the 70s in the USA and it's called Price Club. and that is because it was founded by Sol Price. Oh, Jesus.

And Price Club was later bought by Costco, but then Soul Price was forced out, and he then started Price Smart. Which is with his friend, Julie Smart. Do you think there's diminishing returns of these things, Andy? Because I think they've rather diminished after the first week. That's interesting. I think, like Stuart Lee, I'm going to keep going.

And as long as they're flooding into the inbox, and they are. it's just half the inbox is now these. I have to say it's not diminishing returns for me because I've obviously arrived at the very tail end when everyone else is rolling their eyes I'm going to kill themselves when you say it. You think it's the tail end? We've got further to run.

Do you know where a snake's tail begins? Because it's not right at the very end. We're just at the neck bit. We're just also the tail. This is a very, very long tail. I'm afraid so. I can handle it. Well, let's have another fact.

All right, I'll give you another fact. Actually, this is one of my favorite facts I've ever heard. So this is sent in by Sam Cornish, but he or she, Sam could be either, and you haven't specified, and you've got two daughters, but that doesn't tell me your sex. No, it doesn't. Because men can have daughters too.

Wow, you're such a feminist, Emma. Just say they. So they, thank you, they wrote in saying, because it plays in the car when I'm driving my two. All of them, including the daughters. Jesus Christ. This one person said, Because it plays in the car while I'm driving, my two daughters, Charlotte, who's 11 and Harriet, who's 8, have got into facts and jokes.

I don't know where they're getting the jokes from. But they'll always request to put the podcast on, and they've recently learned some facts about guinea pigs and wanted me to send this in. And this is the fact which I didn't know and is extraordinary. They poo while they're eating up to a thousand times a day. But if they aren't eating, they can't poo. That's awkward. And guinea pig's digestion seems to work. like it's like if you shove something through a tunnel

so if you put it in your mouth it pushes something out at the bottom but as soon as you stop like how electrons go through a wire yeah well how my brain works something go in something go out as Helva Simpson said it's like when I went to that wine tasting event and I forgot how to drive

that's very cool gosh human society would be completely different wouldn't it well it would be completely different restaurants would be very different well public toilets would be right because you would go to a public toilet and you know when you go in and you first check if there's any toilet paper you'd actually be first checking that there was a hot dog machine

but what's the point of a toilet because you don't need the loo surely until you don't need the loo until you go into the toilet and eat the hot dog don't just say okay I've got the optimum amount of food and waste in my body now so I'm just not going to eat or go to the loo no I guess I don't know how they know they need the loo though You get hungry, wouldn't you? You must be that you're angry.

But restaurants would have to come with porcelain under every table. They'd be the same thing. There would be no toilets and no restaurants. They'd be the same. And the thing is, what would we focus on? Would we call them restaurants and toilets disappear? Or would toilets just be the places we went with friends in the evening? I've booked us in a lovely toilet.

I've booked in a really nice toilet. But I'm not hungry. It's because you're a guinea pig mate. Yeah, so thank you, Charlotte and Harriet. That's fantastic. That's a great fact. I have a fact that I've been trying to push on you guys for months and you've never gone with it.

So I don't think we're ever going to do it. But there was a geneticist. His surname was Sewell. I can't remember his first name. But he did lots of work with guinea pigs. And he would always carry guinea pigs with him wherever he went. And when he was lecturing, he would keep them under his armpits to keep them nice and warm. And one time he was doing a lecture and absolutely took one of the guinea pigs out from under his armpit

and started rubbing out the chalk from the board with it. What the hell? There's too many things about that. That's probably why we'd never gone with it. I love it. I love it. They go, all the time.

You wouldn't be able to hear anything he said. Especially if they're being squeezed in an armpit, I guess. That's a real pressure point. You'd have to have your arms quite, he must have been quite muscular to have his arms a bit further out. Because I keep my arms by my sides. He must have had an extra bit of shoulder that poked out a bit further, and then his arms fell down from that and left.

a gap. Have you ever eaten guinea pig? No. But I've never been to South America. I have. You've done both? Both, yeah. One corresponded with the other. But yeah, I did eat guinea pig and only a little bit from my wife's plate because I didn't feel like I could order it myself. And it was not very nice. And that's the end. Oh, really? No, really. Good anecdote. It's very greasy.

Boney. That's what we always say about small animals. Yeah, the meat wasn't so bony, more the bones. Okay, that makes me. Yeah, there's a tiny steaks, aren't they? Yeah. You'd have it maybe in a ragu or something. But on its own, it's a bit of a sad proposition, I think. Partly because they give love and happiness to so many children the world over. They're a burden. All parents wish they could be eaten by the end. But in Peru, they are eaten all the time. Street food. Like crisps. Shall I do one? You were talking about driving with this family who go driving and listen to fish. Here is one about someone driving as well. This comes from Ferrari. and they said that in August 26, 200 metres of New Zealand State Highway 1 will be shipped to Singapore for repairs.

What? That's a long way. Actually, I wonder if we should ship our potholes there, though. Well, the actual thing is that they're talking about the ferry that links the north and south islands through the Cook Strait and legally it's considered a road. And they're in disrepair at the moment the ferries. and so they're sending them to Singapore to be fixed. Lovely. Legally, it's a road.

The ferry? It's a road, yeah. Wow. That's cool, isn't it? That's really cool. That feels like Satnav could have some real cock-ups there. If your roads isn't present, the road's moved. Yeah.

Because, like, most people, I think, or a lot of people would fly between the North and South Islands, but obviously if you can't do that, or if you're taking lots of, like, the person who wrote in, Ferreri Dawn is a trucker, I actually wrote this email while staring at Mount Dune. Wow! Which is the big mountain in the middle of the North Island. From Lord of the Rings? Yeah. It's filmed there.

And basically you would have to go across the Cook Strait. But we've been to Wellington. It's the windiest city in the world. It's a very, very dodgy place to cross. The last time we were there on tour, I went for a jog. Oh, yeah? And I thought it was very windy. That is a great anecdote, Andy.

Is it worse than I ate a bit of a guinea pig once? Just say you. I think it is really because how many of the listeners do you think have ever been for a jog? How many of them have eaten guinea pig? So what I'm hearing is that mine was relatable and yours was esoteric. You can't say a relatable anecdote. Do you know what? I got up in the morning and everyone else is going, me too!

That story kills in a live setting, I promise. I played golf and we were last in Wellington and golf is a game where you really do not want it to be windy. It's very, very difficult. Still not relatable, see? And yet it works. Right, here's another one. This is from an anonymous source. I don't know why, but the fact is this.

Miami University is located in Oxford. Miami University is located in Oxford. Miami is a, there's a public research university called Miami University, which is in Oxford. In the UK? No. Oxford is in Ohio. Okay. Miami is in Florida.

Which Miami University is not. Man, the Americans, they're messed up. But it's also in Luxembourg. It has an outreach center in Luxembourg. What? Miami University. Is it the Luxembourg that's in Luxembourg? Or there is actually a larger area of Luxembourg that is in Belgium, I think?

Oh, is that so? I think so. What called Luxembourg? Yeah, yeah. No, this is in Luxembourg, Luxembourg. But this is Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Miami, of course, the place Miami in Ohio is named after the Miami people. who came from Florida,

Miami, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. What? Well, they were originally also called the Tuatua. So I think Miami is a better name. That was the Ayatollah's death wish against you, wasn't it? I've issued the Tuatua against Andrew Hunter Murray. We all wish we could. Okay, another one?

Yes. This is from someone called Big Puna from California. First name, big, second name Puna, I can only imagine. I'm writing a study about the eucalyptus trees in California, lots of them. And apparently, they're just one big scam. So in California, they needed loads of timber in the 19th and 20th century. And someone started a rumor. He says the geniuses in Australia started rumors about how amazing eucalyptus trees were for building,

because there are loads of eucalyptus trees in Australia. So I guess they managed to get this rum of spreading that you should buy ours. They're really good for building. They're not. They're rubbish. I think eucalyptus is quite soft, but very soft wood.

So they sent a bunch over. Imagine how nice your house would smell, though. That's really good. You'd never get a cold. Yeah. Worth it even if you are in a three little pigs kind of fable a year later when the wolf's blown it down.

But yeah, there's eucalyptus trees now all over California. It's kind of known for them, smells of it, because they were meant for. building, it turns out you can't build anything out of them. That's great. A lot of antipity and stuff today. Australia, New Zealand. Oh, yes. I've got something related to Ireland.

Oh, yeah? The Roman Catholic Church says gluten-free communion wafers cannot transubstantiate into the body of Christ. What? Gluten free? Is that the special ingredient? You have to have gluten in it. That's where Jesus is. He must be hiding in the gluten.

It's very exciting to isolate the God particle and it's gluten. Screw Higgs boson guys in Switzerland The bobe apparently That's huge So celiacs can't Exactly So the end of heaven The reason I mention Ireland

Is because there's a very high proportion of celiacs in Ireland And obviously a lot of Roman Catholics as well So this is a particular problem there So they do sell gluten-free hosts That have got so little gluten in That you can legally call them gluten-free And even the worst celiolite

hopefully won't be too affected by them. So if you saw them on the shelves, it would say gluten free. But they call them low gluten because if you call them gluten free, the priests will say, oh, it's gluten free so we can't use this. This is insane. I would have thought that one way for most people would not cause it initially. If you're celiac. If you're celiac, is it really.

So my dad is celiac and like it's just, it's poison to him basically. Yeah. There must be moments when you're debating things as the Catholic Church, when you're like writing down and how much exact gluten should there be. in the way where you go, this must be a bit bullshit now. What are we doing? Well, I've got good news. There is a loophole. And that is that you can take the body of Christ just as the blood of Christ and it's all the same. So you can just have the wine. Lovely stuff. But you have to make sure, like usually during transubstantiation they break some bread and put it in the wine. Like when they're

doing all the rigmarole. Okay. So you have to make sure that hasn't happened. And also that there's no contamination with other people. So you kind of need your own hip flask. God, it must be so annoying when the celiac guy rocks up to church. Oh, he's here again. But if you're an alcoholic and a celiac and you're... Or a child. Or a child. So what happens with the wine that?

Is that alcohol-free? No, it's not allowed to be alcohol-free either. So it's alcohol and gluten? I feel really like we've made progress with the whole thing today. Jesus lives in the alcohol and the gluten. Yeah. Cool. Well, it makes complete sense now, actually.

You think for omnipresence, you'd also be in the non-glut? I didn't really know what the non-glutin bit is of a wafer. Well, gluten is just the protein that holds it together. I didn't know what gluten was either. I'm glad I leered you into explaining what gluten. You could have just asked. No, no, no, no, no. I hate the way you do this, Andy.

Instead of asking people questions, like, when you're lost and you're driving, you're like, oh, I just wonder if there's a place nearby called Stockton. And then someone goes there. Oh, yeah, it's just down the road there and third on the left. Ah, treat you! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they feel like the idiots. Why are we driving?

Can I give you one more fact? Yeah, last one. Last one. Ari Toons-Sammanson. Right. During the Second World War, Citrin, big French. Car manufacturer.

Another umlaut. Yes. Cedron was forced to manufacture T-45 trucks for the German military, right? You seized the factory or whatever. But sabotage them in an unbelievably ingenious way. How? They put the R and the number five on the gearbox in the wrong place

Oh my God Every time you think you're going into the top gear you actually go into reverse And then the engine just jumps out of the bonnet and you fall Yeah yeah that's, do you know what that's a really good idea They painted fake tunnels on the side of cliffs That's it They No seat belts

Oh that's good Is that a trick? Yeah We can't drive these They swapped all the umlats on the citron for diarrhea. Yep, that's it. Your first one, James, was actually extremely close. What was the first one you said?

Something about reverse? Oh, yeah, just a little thing of the design that actually makes it really hard to drive. So this is what they did. They have dipsticks, right? Showing how low the level of oil is in the engine. They simply moved the notch that marked full several points down. So you'd fill it up to the point where it looks like it's full, but the dipstick has been altered,

and actually there's not nearly enough oil in the engine, and then it breaks down. That would work, but I mean, I've literally never checked my oil, and I haven't broken down yet. So they can go for a few years, can they? My first car, I never checked the oil, and it did break down.

And actually, it cost me $1,000 to get a new engine. And when I got the new engine, they said, yeah, you should have checked your oil. Okay, so some people would be scuppered by it. I was a Nazi, though, in Fichy France, so. Yeah. I think co-driving.

must be changing the oil for me, actually. Come to think of it. Also, I've got an electric cart. Right, yeah, yeah. Don't check the oil. I don't know what you're checking. Checking something. Yeah, anyway, I just thought that was an ingenious trick.

And that brings us to the end of your facts. But now we're going to dish out some facts to you. Because if you join Clubfish, patreon.com slash clubfish at friend with the podcast level, you will become the sponsor, the owner, the curator, of one of our headline facts in perpetuity and we're going to dish out a bunch of those right now so let's get into it

who's got a fact they want to give out to a curatee? I have got one this is now under the curatorship of Joseph Levin any relation to the character from Anna Karenina? We don't know. I fancy your brother Joseph can I just say a curatee I think is the fact

Yep cool, just checking and I'm sure Tolstai would find that very attractive as well And actually it's a literary fact. It is that J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis once went to a party dressed as polar bears. It was not a fancy dress party. Brilliant. I can't remember the story behind that.

I think they were just pranksters, weren't they? Yeah. They just like doing stuff like that. They were always chasing each other around having a funny, funny old time. Yeah. This fact is to go under the guardianship of Katie with a Y. And it's about Agatha Christie, another literary. Agatha Christie thought

Hercul Puerre was a detestable, bombastic, tiresome, egocentric little creep. I have a question. The word bombastic, is that a negative thing? Because Shaggy was Mr. Bombastic and that was a positive thing for him.

That's a really good point. It's a bit context dependent, doesn't it? I would say it's only context dependent in that song he's made it positive, but I've never heard it be positive outside of it. I just never hear it. I don't ever say,

oh, you're being so bombastic. I just don't ever hear that these days. Do you think maybe Shaggy was being, like self-deprecating. Yeah, definitely. That's his style, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It means inflated, apparently, given extra importance that it doesn't deserve.

Yeah. Okay, so that's Poirot. I didn't know that. Oh, right. I wouldn't have, you know, with a gun to my head, I wouldn't have been able to tell you what bombastic meant. Oh, wow. I'm sorry, you're dead now.

Yeah, bombastic is always a negative thing. He's very bombastic. Well, I've never heard it be used. Right. Okay. Well. Interpreted it that way as well. I think that's fair enough about Poirotro.

I think he was those things. Okay. I'm not, I don't, they're great books. I just don't like, the Pirate is a bit annoying, isn't he? Yeah, he's meant to be annoying in the books. Yeah, he is. She wrote him. She's done the good job.

She doesn't like him, it's okay. Well, make him likable in your books in future. I don't think he would have been as good a character if he was likable. I think if he was tall and non-detestable and, you know, fascinating and brilliant and humble, he'd be Jack Reacher. And the books would have been all the better for it. Is that what Jack Reacher's like? Is he humble? No, he's pretty proud of it.

Well, yeah, he's pretty pleased with us. I think if Poirot was more like Shaggy, then they would be much better, Pucks Mr. Lover Lover, coming in, solving all the crimes. Don't a lot of people say to Poirro, it wasn't me. Very good. All right, this one goes out to Fabian Taylor,

and it's the fact that, before he invented the television, John Logie Baird invented a pair of socks to wear under your socks. Oh, yeah. This is the bared under sock. Yeah. And it was,

It was to stop you're getting trench foot. It was to stop you getting trench foot and it was sprinkled with a chemical that soaked up the moisture. So it was for the first one, war soldier, obviously. There were more than one. Yeah. The one guy who was fighting against him.

Why you keep hitting yourself? Yeah, and they were a terrible failure. So he was forced to go off an event TV instead, which was a big success. Imagine if all we'd had, if we just sat in front of an old sock every evening for two hours with our partners staring at it blankly. Do you want to go out to the restaurant toilet?

No, not really. Let's say in them, look at the old sock. Okay, here is another fact. This one is under the custodianship of Kenneth Vandenberg. Kenneth, your fact might be shorter than your name because the fact is bananas emit antimatter. Oh, what a fact. Yeah.

I think that was one of your facts, wasn't it, James? It was one of my facts, yeah. They're radioactive? They're radioactive. Bananas get such a bad rep. Yeah, they're radioactive. Everyone always thinks they're going to overdose on potassium if they have more than two.

They're the shape of a penis. You slip on their skins. Poor old bananas. I've never heard anyone slagging off bananas. I'm defending bananas. I think it was a backhanded compliment, really. Why does everyone give you such a bad name? You're a bumbastic.

They're radioactive, and as part of that radioactivity, they give off antimatter. Which is good, because really, antimatter is. what stops the whole universe from imploding? Is it one of those? It is. We've got the same amount of matter and antimatter and if we had one more banana,

the whole universe would implode. That's correct, James. That's exactly right. Again, I think you're giving them a bad name. I've got a fact here for Sasha Goldberg. This is that Slovenia's largest lake, Lake Kirknaker, disappears every year. There you go, Sasha.

Is this one of your facts? Yes. Is this after you've just been to Slovenia? Well, remember, James. Wow. Yes. which I love, by the way, highly recommend as a holiday destination. But Lake Kirknaker, yes, it vanishes and then reappears, isn't it?

And I think it got a special name, that kind of lake. It sinks through... Temporary. Yeah. It sinks through spongy things. It's on Swiss cheese rock, basically, and it just photos. So did you get to see it? Or not see it?

No, I didn't. I got to not see it. Did you go to the place where it wasn't? I didn't go to the place. But maybe I wouldn't have known. You didn't even go to the place where it wasn't. So you didn't even get to not see it. No, here's what I did. I went to Savinia. I had a lovely holiday.

And then the airport, in the way home, I thought, oh shit, I better find a fact about Savinia for next week. And I googled it. Perfect. Yeah, that's good, isn't it? That's really good. Was this the one where, because I know they have alms in those caves in Saviola? Oh, yes. Was this the one where you brought an Ulm to the table?

I bought a cuddly Ulm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was that that long ago? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're brilliant little, blind little caveworms, lizard things. And they prefer lizard. They're a bit endangered and they're lovely. And the caves of Slovenia are.

Fantastic. Which is not a slight on the above ground experiences you can have in Slovenia. It's just that the caves are really good. Here's another fact. This one goes out to Kalobe, and it's that. In 2015, half the world's Saigas suddenly died and nobody knew why. Now, what's the Saiga? Here you ask, is a kind of antelope.

And there was this disaster in Kazakhstan where half of them died and no one knew what. But I'm pleased to report that the populations have been improving a great deal. the last assessment. I've sometimes checked on the sikas actually and I've always thought, God, that is terrible, but they are somehow coming back. Yeah, yeah. Great. Which is great news.

Quite an international episode, this isn't it, with the Slovenian lakes and the Kazakh and tilopes. Which exotic bit of the world are we going to go to next with our fact? Well, we'll see. Oh, I can't wait. Neil Merrick, exotic or not, your fact is, Barbara Streisand has a shopping mall built for her sole use under her house. Lovely.

By a process of elimination, you can work out whose fact this was anyway. But when I was in Chongqing, I went about, I think it was about a two-mile walk, but it was raining. And I did it by going from one shopping mall to the next shopping mall to the next shopping mall to the next shopping mall, because there's so many of them and they're so big and they go across so many different streets. That's a dystopian vision you've just created. It was crazy. And then you go to another, like you cross over, and then you'd be in another mall that was all themed for Garfield. And then you go in another one and it's like, oh, now it's just a load of Chinese street food.

It's just the weirdest thing ever. Okay, I'm hearing action film that goes, is all in a mall. In fact, that's the title of the film. You mean, Mallcop? Okay. I'm hearing that it's been done. There is a movie called Mallcough. That's a movie called Mallcough.

I think there might be a couple in the Moorp, Overe. It's called Paul Sop. Paul Blart, Mortop. And in fact, there's a podcast where two guys watch it every week for a year and slowly go insane. Okay. You've lost me on a lot of this subject matter.

You know those podcasts where two blokes watch a terrible movie and slowly go insane? There's a few of them around, right? Do you think that you making all these cop shows in the future might be seeding that industry even more? I hope so. I like to think I'm giving something back when people are settling down for the 98th viewing of Tiberius Cop.

I think they'll be grateful for the creative genius who was behind all this stuff. Anyway, stricent. Lovely. Yeah. One more. One more. Got a fact here for Richard Hodgson.

Richard, take this fact home with you. Look after it well. This fact is that fish who work as cleaners can cheat their bosses and their bosses can punish them. The cleaner, the rass. Brass fish, isn't it? clean a fish who go who like sit on other fish and clear up the dirt and filth on them

clean their teeth do they all their skins and they go into their mouth it's so cool fish cleaning stations it's like a service station I think is this the episode where Anna told us the anecdote is when she put her grotty feet inside one of those places where fish nibble your feet and I can't remember what happened

but if the feeling it was like you know when a volcano goes off and all the fish sort of float to the top imagine it was like that they're not grotty feet, their delicious feet, according to the cleaner fish that were in the tank and that refused to dine on anyone else's feet and had me asked to remove

my feet so that other people could have a turn. So what was it, they can cheat their bosses and their bosses can tell them off? They actually sometimes doss off a bit and they eat, instead of eating the parasites they should be eating, they just eat some mucus off the face of the fish they're meant to be cleaning. And the fish wants to keep the mucus?

I think so, yeah, yeah. So that's actually they're getting one over on their boss by eating mucus. It doesn't sound like a great job. But there we go. All right, that's it. That's all of your new friend of the podcast, Fact Custodium Facts. Thanks once again to the new curators of these facts.
