Hi everyone and welcome to this episode of Little Fish, the podcast from the makers of big,
no such thing as a fish, where we throw away our facts and we look at the fantastic facts that
you guys have been sending to podcast at QI.com. Andy has gone through the inbox and he's picked
the very choicest of plums and thrown them in our faces and we will now regurgitate them for you.
This is horrible.
That's the problem with starting a sentence
It's where you don't know where it's going to go
I hear you
Who's going to chuck a plum my way
Can I vomit up a little something?
Yes, please
Because it's related to actually last week's episode
Of Little Fish
It's about Shaggy
I might remember all that time ago
We talked about the similarities
Between Shaggy and Poirot
So much has happened in those seven days
I know it seems like a year ago
Yeah
You're wearing the same clothes though
Yes
I've actually changed my baseball cup, so the people looking at video will think it's a different day.
Oh, right, have you? Sorry, and I've just exploded the fiction.
Well, this is from Don Wilson, and Don Wilson says, last night I was re-watching Scooby-Doo.
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, in fact, and I was reminded of a strange coincidence.
Shaggy from Scooby-Doo's real name is Norville, Norville Shaggy Rogers.
So Norville's the character's real name.
Shaggy, the music artist, his real name is Orville.
Is that right?
Novel and Norville and Norville.
Norville and Orville.
The only two Shaggis we know, Norville and Orville.
That is amazing.
I didn't know what Shaggy the artist's real name was.
No.
I actually didn't know either, but everyone else seems very well versed in Norville being Scooby-Doo.
They come up in quizzes all the time.
Do they?
They do.
There we go, Norville and Orville.
And what is Scooby-Doo but a crime-solving bunch of people,
as is Poirotro, who, as previously discussed,
is very similar to Shaggy in ways we mentioned last week.
So it's all come full circle
Back where I started I suppose
Does anyone else, can anyone else join this group
Torville I suppose
Christopher and Dean?
Christopher Torville or Jane Torville?
Jane Torville and Christopher Dean
Jane Torville will be
For international listeners you'll know who they are
Also Orville the duck
From I wish I could fly
Right up to the sky but I can't
Is that are we saying the duck before Orville right
I think Alville the duck was named after Orville right
Right, okay, okay
But it's good that the duck is the first one now that comes to the people's heads
Certainly my head
Sorry guys
Very good
Here's one
This is from Cameron Smith
Who recently went to Train World Brussels
Which looks stunning by the way
I've looked it up
But there was an exhibit in Train World Brussels
On Belgian inventors who contributed to the world of steam locomotives
And once such example
Of an invention
Was flame tubes
and those are the ducks that guide the steam close to the fire, right, to superheat the steam inside an engine.
You know, you need to heat it up and up and up.
So you have a tube that goes near, a flame tube that goes near it.
And what are they called?
Flame tubes.
Oh, okay.
Well, really, they're more flam tubes because they're invented by an engine called Jean-Baptiste flam.
Oh, God.
Yeah, but they're not named after him.
That's just a coincidence, right?
Or are they?
Cameron doesn't relate.
What?
It's close enough, I thought.
Is it?
Well, Cameron thinks so, and I'm back in Cameron.
So Cameron thinks they're named after a flam, even though they're called flame.
Yeah.
Well, they might be flam tubes.
The thing is it's all translated.
There's very little information on these tubes in English, which is annoying.
But in Belgium, Cameron also, I believe, went to see a big hole in the ground, the Hoogh crater,
which is named after the nearby village of Hoogh.
Is that good?
Cameron says this eponym isn't nearly as good as flam tube.
but if we're ever going to get enough for a book,
some are going to be better than others.
And I think these guys would disagree with you there, Cameron.
I'm hard to disagree, Cameron.
That's why you're not up here with us, I'm afraid.
The huge holes, you've got to leave with that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can I just ask, Andy, these things,
which are taking over our lives,
can we just keep them in one box?
Like, either little fish or dual.
Because at the moment they're in two-thirds of our output
is largely these things.
And I'm sure the only reason they haven't been in the big show is because you haven't thought of any.
Do you know that's really fair?
Which would you rather they were in?
Little Fish or Drops a line?
Which do I listen to least often?
You know what?
You should be like me and only listen to the rest is politics because they never mention these.
They've got no juice at all on this game.
No, no.
Okay.
Thank you, Cameron.
I loved it.
Here is a fact from Sarah Nordmark.
And they say, I hope you haven't heard.
heard this one before. I have not heard this Sarah, or Sarah, actually, but it's S-A-R-A.
The American mathematician, R-H, Bing, did not have actual names for his initials and was just called
R-H. When Bing applied for a visa, he was told that initials would not be accepted.
He explained that his name was R-only, H-only Bing and received a visa made out to
Honly-R-R-L-L-Bing.
That's very good
How can he not have
Did his parents name him R. H?
They did.
His father was called Rupert Henry Bing
So he's basically been named after his father
It appears
But they've not taken the actual names
That's really interesting
I've never heard that as a name custom before
It's cool
I was reading about Professor Bing
And one cool thing I read about him
He sounds like a bit of a fun character
And he was driving a car
with a bunch of students in his car
and he was driving 200 miles away
so it's a long old drive
but there was a load of like teenagers in his car
so the car gets really really steamy
and all the windows start to steam
and while he's driving
he uses the windows and the steam
to write out equations and does a lecture
for the students in his car
while he's driving
that's crazy
that's got to be banned somewhere in the highway code
there's got to be you're not allowed to write equations
Yeah, they haven't thought of everything.
His last lecture.
But maybe, I suppose, on these roads across bits of America, where they're very long or very straight,
and you just, you like drive this way for 10 hours.
He's from Texas, so it is just straight roads everywhere, isn't it?
Wow, that's very cool.
Yeah.
I wonder if he's right-handed you be because they have their wheel on the left, don't they?
They do, yeah.
So that, okay, so he's doing it with his right-hand.
So that's better.
Yeah, yeah, maybe, yeah.
That's why he said to the officer.
I'm right-handed officer.
It doesn't make any difference.
So cool.
Is it my turn?
Yeah.
That's my turn.
This is from Stephen.
Hi, everyone.
Stephen here from Melbourne, Australia.
We know where Melbourne is, Stephen.
No, there is a Melbourne just near London, actually.
There's probably one in Canada.
Probably loads in America.
Yeah.
The first shots fired by the British Empire in World War I were in the southern tip of eastern Australia.
I didn't know about this.
As far away as you can get from Europe, he said.
So it was a warning shot from, and he specifies the gun, a six-inch mark seven gun at Fort Neppi in Victoria, and August 5th, 1914, and it was because Britain had just declared war on Germany.
And at the time, I think there was a ship, the SS Fouts, a German merchant steamer that was just hanging out nearby.
And as soon as Britain declared war, they call the Australians, like, we've declared war, have you got any Germans nearby that you need to shoot out?
And they were like, actually, yeah, there's this steamer here.
should we shoot at him? And they did.
And he surrendered straight away.
And there we go. Australia won the war.
That was the end of the war.
Yeah.
They could have called an end to it there, couldn't they?
Just like,
Yeah.
Like, who calls an end to it though?
Yeah.
Like, that's the thing with wars.
You can't just shoot one thing and go, okay, that's it.
Because the other guy's going to.
I'm retiring undefeated in this war.
I got a fact, this is another military one.
In fact, it's from Jason Spear-Omelio.
And it's that the USA didn't have an air force during the Second World War.
which I find extremely funny as a fact.
Sorry.
The US Air Force was established in 1947.
What planes were they using before that then?
Was it just a different name?
The Army had a great deal of planes, I will say that.
That is interesting, though.
It's the US Army Air Force is what it was.
Okay.
So it's, and basically at the start of the First World War as well,
the American military had eight planes.
Yeah, I do know that.
I love that.
Basically, I think, was it that France had like almost all the planes in the world
at the start of the war?
and then by the end of the war, everyone else had taken over.
That's true.
France had something like 30 or 40 planes at the start of the war,
and that was more than America and Britain and Germany
and loads of other countries combined.
It was amazing.
No, but in the Second World War,
they did have 63,000 planes by the end of the war,
but they were just the US Army Air Force.
So it's a bit of a technicality, Jason.
I loved it.
Here's one, speaking of World War II,
the most flammable substance ever made is so evil,
even the Nazis gave up on it.
This was sent in by bay.
And basically it is a material called chlorine trifluoride,
which is incredibly, incredibly flammable.
In fact, if you just get water on it, it's just going to explode.
And they tried to use it.
The Nazis tried to use it as a flamethrower.
But unfortunately, what happened was whoever was carrying it around
would end up being set on fire as well.
So, wait, how was that a fact framed by the person
It was too evil even for the Nazis.
It was so evil, even the Nazis gave up on it.
Okay.
Because it sounded like it was going to be, well, they weren't as bad as you think.
But it was just that they kept blowing up their own people.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think that's what we should take away from that.
I don't think that's what Bay was saying.
No.
No.
This stuff is incredibly flammable.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, they still don't use it in much things at all, even in industry or anything.
But apparently it works well at clearing uranium residue off the walls of nuclear power plants.
What a fun place to be.
when that's happening.
Well, I may be in this old nuclear power plant,
but at least I've got the most dangerous substance in the world on me.
Okay, here's one from Masha Levine, who says,
she does a book plug.
She says, I've just read Zoe Schlanger's incredible book, The Light Eaters.
And she recommends it so highly that I thought I'd share that.
She said, I should have copied and pasted it the whole thing,
because it's so full of amazing facts.
And then she says, I'm going to give you two facts I loved.
But there's only one here, which I imagine is.
the copy paste error from Andy rather than from Masha.
Okay.
Maybe I just thought there are reasons of time and space
and we can't get into all the facts.
I'm sorry to both of you.
Okay.
You probably should have cut off that clause
from the sentence as well then.
Yeah, I feel like I should have cut the whole either
given how much trouble it's got me into
with that as digressions, but okay.
She says the bochila trifolia lata,
which is a Chilean jungle vine,
can alter the shape, color and size of its leaves
to mimic nearby plants.
And a single plant can mimic
nearby host and it is incredible.
So I've looked at pictures and it's kind of like someone in a bit of a shit disguise.
As in you'll see the leaf as a human being.
I think you see the leaf that's the real thing and then you see the mimic and it's trying
to be like that.
But even so, well done for trying.
It's amazing.
So it doesn't look that much like it.
It does look enough.
And it leaves all kind of look quite similar, don't they?
Oh, James.
Leaf community, if you're listening right in to podcast atuI.com.
Write to James personally, please.
I'm not sifting through 53,000 angry emails from leaf peepers.
No way.
I think of other leaves are very varied.
Okay.
Variated, you mean?
We don't know how they do it.
But did you say different bits of the plant can look like different nearby other plants?
Yes.
How that is cool.
Amazing.
If I could disguise my left arm as an elephant's trunk and my right arm as a tiger's nose or whatever.
You'd be an odd place.
But you'd be, you'd be blending in with everything around you.
I disagree.
I think the tigers are going to say who's that weird guy with an elephant trunk.
And the elephants are going to say who's like weird guy with a tiger's nose.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm being eaten or trampled either way.
Here's a fact about leaves, which I often think everyone's going to know it,
but then you tell people and they don't really know it.
You know holly.
So it's spiky, right?
If you go to the top of the holly plant, it's not spiky anymore.
Yes.
It's not spiky.
It's amazing.
They're only spiky at the bottom.
Isn't that cool?
Because that's where they need to defend themselves.
Yeah.
Like now, when you're walking home, if you see a holly plant and they are around,
you'll see it spiky.
Look up at the top, not spiky.
And if you want to avoid being jamb, just walk on stilts.
Here's one from Lindsay Lee from Nashville.
Pretty cool.
Lindsay has written in about a paper that she's heard about
which is headlined
the cultural, social and ideological role of the hat
in early modern England from the historical journal
and it's apparently a brilliant paper
A, because it's authored by someone called Bernard Cap
very good and a bit of nondid term
but secondly because it just tells stories
about the insanely important roles that hats used to play
So do you remember we talked about President Madison
James Madison.
Smallest president.
And he couldn't leave the house for two days once
because someone had taken his hat.
He left it at the window.
So this is part of the paper is that appearing hatless
was just unbelievably slovenly.
I just can't believe like we came here today
and you two aren't wearing hats.
It was literally the first thing I thought of
when the mics came on today.
I was like those two are slovenly people.
Slavans.
So there was a bloke called Thomas Elwood.
It was a teenager in 1650.
And like all rebellious teenagers, he wanted to go and join the Quakers.
But his father wanted to stop him, right?
And couldn't think of any way to stop him.
Kept trying, kept banning him, get forbidding it.
And eventually had a brainwave and thought, I'll just confiscate all of his hats.
That's amazing.
And Thomas Elwood, the young man, wrote, he couldn't go out unless I would have run about the country bareheaded like a madman.
People would think you were seriously ill if you didn't have a hat on.
It's like stealing someone's trousers?
It pretty much is.
It pretty much is.
It's incredible.
Yeah.
And Lindsay just includes one more story
because it's full of ribbled anecdotes about hats, this paper.
Ribbled ones?
Yeah, ribald, I'll say.
Well, judge for yourself, in 1747,
a Wiltra man admitted snatching a rival's hat,
pissing in it and clapping it back on the victim's head.
That's good.
These days, that guy would be a TikToker.
He would just go around doing that to everyone
and would have 10 billion followers.
He'd have done it once and he'd have got so many followers that he now has to rename himself the hat piss account.
And now his whole life is wrecked basically forever.
He's made a lot of money, but he's only missed a hat piss from then on.
I can't believe he's the victim in this entirely fictional thing that we just come up with.
You think that the person who's pissing in hats and putting it on people's head is a victim.
I think he's the victim of the internet.
He could have been so much more, right?
He's got a thriving, you know, he wants to make proper short films and stuff, I guess,
but instead he's so pop, hat piss.
I think he's a pervert.
I think he likes pissing in hats.
And the fact that the internet's here is just a coincidence.
I think the internet is enabling the worst elements of this young man.
It would have been a silly teenage prank.
He got a detention for it.
But instead, he's now dealing with a huge Chinese brand to do merch,
hat piss merch, which is going to sell out across the Hat Piss Stadium tour,
where he'll piss in all of your hats.
And they're probably like a new fashion for hats that look a bit like sieves.
That people can't piss in.
Exactly. Yeah, yeah. I think that is a bit of a mantra. I know this guy doesn't exist, but I do think that's a tragedy.
Yeah, well, we disagree. I'm sorry to say.
I think I probably wouldn't have joined the historical British Earthworm Society, were it not for this show? Do you know? Or the wallpaper history society.
You're saying that's a tragedy for you?
Well, in a sense, I am Tony Hapiss. You know what I mean?
I just so disagree. If we didn't have this show, we wouldn't know that you'd join them.
That's the only big. It's a tragedy for us, actually.
Honestly, if you went around pissing people's hats rather than joining these stupid societies,
I think that would be a better use of your time.
Well, look out, James, because there's only one hat in this room.
And we've been recording for a while.
Oh, dear.
Okay, I think we should move on to the second part of today's show.
And that is where we bestow custodianship of some of our best facts to some of our best listeners.
We like all of you.
great listeners, but some of them
have managed to financially boost themselves
towards the top of our ranking.
Some of you have ponied up.
We love all of you. Thank you, Andy.
I didn't know where that sentence was going either.
So who has got a fact
that we can give custodianship of?
Michelle Handgraff has joined
Clubfish at Friend of the Podcast here, which I think
is what you met, James. Did I not
say that? I think.
You may have done.
Michelle Handgrave, you are now
the custodian of the fact that
Al-Qaeda's job application form
quite a spicy fact this one
includes a question asking
who should be contacted in the event that the applicant
becomes a martyr
well
do you know what I screen all of the headline facts
to make sure and some of them I've removed
because they're a bit too strong or a bit inappropriate
I think that one was probably a borderline case for me
yeah it feels like it
this was the fact where
we were all quite worried I think
that our search histories
would be problematic
if ever
MI5 got our computers
because we all had to search
for Al Qaeda stuff
and I just remember
this is the one where I googled
apply to join ISIS
because I was looking for the application form
but in the eyes of the law
that's the same isn't it?
Oh guys guys
all I was doing was looking for the application
form
I know that's worse trouble
a terrorist has been found
running around London
pissing in people's hands
Their budgets have been cut out on the outfaders since the early 2000s.
Here's one for you, Guy Swarbrick.
This is the fact that the single biggest expense in the computer game in Lego Universe
was hiring human moderators to make sure people weren't building Lego penises.
Brilliant.
Very much a fact of its time because I bet AI could do that now.
No, that's going to be the last one to fall for AI.
Look, the only thing humans are doing.
It'll be the resistance against the machines.
Suddenly there'll just be little Lego penis is popping up all over the country.
Oh dear.
That's a film. That's a film to be made.
That's very funny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, here is a fact that is now under the custodianship of Tom Adelow.
And Tom, your fact is that the man who inspired the main character in Jurassic Park is now building a chickenosaurus.
Surely not still.
are still working on all sorts of nonsense like that, aren't they? Like getting a woolly mammoth and getting a woolly rhino?
Yeah? Very much from the back of my head. But I think like in the last two weeks, they've invented artificial eggs where they've managed to hatch chickens out of them.
Yes. And they do think that this could be the first step to get in a dodo or whatever.
Yes. A great orc. Great ork. Yeah. Oh, which would you go for?
I'll go for a great hawk.
Would you? Yeah. Because it's got great in it.
It's just a cool bird. It's the first thing I'm.
have a research when I got a job at QI.
Is it?
The thing about penguins, doesn't a name mean
great or something for vice versa?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or they were the original penguins.
Yeah.
They're just a beautiful bird that went extinct in the 19th century.
Passanger pigeon I'd go for.
Nice.
So you could get easy transport from your house to here.
Oh no, they don't take people passengers to them.
Just carry a pigeon you're thinking of.
Yes, of course.
And you need a lot.
Here's one that goes out to Katrina Lurie.
And it's that in the 1840s London Bus
had straps attached to the driver's arms
that you would yank if you wanted to stop.
Really good.
Bring it back.
That was the bell, I guess.
You press the bell, except it just yanks.
It feels dangerous, doesn't it?
It feels like it would yank the driver's arms
because presumably he's dealing with the horses.
It does, but he's riding one-handed
like any cool driver knows you should do.
Okay, my turn.
This is a fact for someone whose name is
Just Killing Time.
Nice.
Just Killing Time.
Kill time with this, baby.
In 2015, Margaret Atwood finished a novel
which will not be published until the year 2114.
Brilliant.
And is this a few of them.
They've written their future novels.
There are a few famous authors who put it in this box.
We imagine they're all crap, aren't they?
Did they not put them in a forest somewhere or something?
Or I might think of something else.
I think maybe the forest have been planted,
and the paper from that forest will be used to the books in 100 years.
so it's a nice way of having a forest.
Again, I'm going off memory.
2114 felt a long way away in 2015.
Now I'm thinking, yeah, I'll get there.
Well, it's 90 years as opposed to 100 years.
And you know you have aged 10 years since then.
30 years away.
What am I now? 38. Yeah, I'll get there.
Right, yeah.
The Jean-Calmont of the podcasting world.
Okay, here is a fact now under the custodianship of ZAN, Z-A-N.
Zan, your fact is that
Japan is considering
installing toilets in its lifts.
Long drop.
What an unusual fact.
Yeah, that was one of mine.
It's not the whole country.
I think maybe they were having a problem
with earthquakes hitting
and people getting stuck in a lift for a long time.
And so it's better, it's obviously better
if there's a loo in the lift.
It's best of all if you don't need to use it.
You know, the best lift lure is one you never have to use.
That's true.
Do you think you know when you're in a lift with a bunch of other people and someone farts and everyone's like who farted?
Like someone's having a shit.
I think that's harder to hide.
But where does it go?
Does it go into a storage box?
Do they have incredibly complicated plumbing to we remember that sort of stretches and contracts with the lift?
I think it must be.
Look, this is an emergency thing.
This is not designed to be plumbed into the buildings thing.
There'll be a small poo box.
had you just been to Japan when we did this fact do you think
I think I must have been yeah
I think you would use it because they'd be a novelty
that's the danger is that everyone you've got in a lift
would immediately want to use the toilet
there's got to be a system where the toilet
the toilet only pops out of the wall if the lift gets stuck
yeah good point because then otherwise you're right
you're asking for trouble yeah yeah I don't think
I don't know if they ever ended up doing this
considering is very weaselwood to put into a headline fact
I'm sorry about that yeah I've completely blanked this out
doing this, yeah, yeah.
I think I blanked it out
because I have a phobia of lifts
and the only thing that sounds worse
than a stuck lift is a stuck lift
where now people are just shitting in a box in the corner.
I still put my,
when I'm going around with my...
What is this going to be?
This is not...
There's no poo involved,
but I always, when I need to get a lift,
like at a station,
sometimes I'll have a pram
because I have a baby in it.
And the baby needs to go in the pram
because I don't want to get them out.
So I put the baby in the pram
and I usually ask a nice looking person,
I think I've said this before,
a nice looking person
to go up in a little.
lift with the baby and then I'll meet them at the top of the stairs.
I have to do it whenever I go get home because my station I need to get over to the other side.
So can I just say the thing you're worried about with the lift is that it might break down.
But if it breaks down with your baby and you're on the outside, that's fine.
No, it makes me sound like a selfish mother.
But I think my argument would be that logically I know it won't break down.
It's just a phobia and I don't have the phobia on behalf of my child.
I think it's nice that you trust strangers so much.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Right.
because you're also scared of flying
would you put your child on an aeroplane
and then just maybe get a boat across the Atlantic
I get the ferry
I say I'll be there in 52 weeks
could you look after the kid until then
the thing about list is they can't go anywhere
except at the one place they're going
unless someone presses another floor button
but you hope that won't happen
do you occasionally look at the person
who's in the lift with your baby and think
I'll wait for the next one
I do yeah I usually
you make sure it's...
When they're in the car, they're having a shit.
This fact goes out to Keith Berry,
and it's that Spotify's random function is not random.
I love this one.
Spotify had a thing where they would play random stuff,
but it formed what people thought were patterns.
It might play you...
Because if it's a probably random system,
it might play you three songs by the same singer in a row.
And that makes people complain to Spotify saying,
hey, I thought this was random.
And what Spotify should have done is stuck to their guns and said,
it is random. Sometimes randomness will throw up three songs by the same singer in a row.
That's randomness.
And instead they caved and they made it so that it's structured,
but it feels more random to us.
I honestly, I think I'm on Spotify's side here.
Are you? Okay.
Because I think if you press random on a playlist,
what you want is different things all the time.
Yeah.
So actually, I think they've done something good there by maybe there should be two buttons,
one which is true random and one which is fake random.
Yeah, I think there should be mathematically random
And I think that should be Spotify random
Yeah
And which do you think we'd get the most presses?
Oh, probably Spotify random
Dweeps
Who don't want true randomness
Do people, I can't remember the purpose of random anyway
Why would you ever press random for songs?
Well, you have a big long playlist
And you don't want to get the same order all the time
Or the playlist is like six hours long
And you don't want to just listen to the first ten songs again
Of course, that makes a lot of stuff
I should start doing that actually.
I'm getting very bored of build me up buttercup.
Okay.
Okay, final one for the day.
That's me.
I'm the final one for the day.
And this is for Rachel Johnson.
Rachel Johnson take very good care of this fact because it's that scientists have grown an ear using Van Gogh's DNA.
Nice.
Real slap in the face.
Do you think that's Rachel Johnson, the sister of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson?
Yeah, who else would it be?
It must be right now.
It's an unusual name.
Very unusual pair of names.
interesting
Yeah
Quite funny
But it won't be an actual working ear
Will it be one of those
Like the shape of an ear
And skin will it be
Yes it's just the outside of the ear
And I think they were growing on some kind of tissue scaffold
I don't think it was one of those weird ears on a mouse
No
I think it's always a bit odd
I'm going to come out and say it
I think it's weird growing ears on the back of a mouse
Oh controversial
Yeah
Vangos DNA
But it's not really Vangos here
What were they
doing here? What are they doing here? I think it's a little bit of a joke, isn't it? Van Gogh. It's
like in your face Van Gogh. You didn't have an ear in your life, but 100 years later.
I think basically you're starting up this new science where you can build ears on scaffolds
and you want people to get a bit interested in it. And so to do that, you think, who do I know
who would have wanted an ear? Yes. In history, Van Gogh. In fact, there aren't many other people
who spring to mind, for me anyway. Who else has famous ears? Prince Charles is.
or King Charlesers or some people call him now
Well, no, these are missing ears we need.
There was the War of Jenkins' ear.
Very racco-like bit of English history.
I don't think it's going to bring in the punters in the same way.
No.
We've recreated Jenkins' ear.
Who?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Doesn't Voldemort not have a nose?
I think he doesn't have a nose.
It's a nose.
Damn, I always confuse those.
My dark calls got no nose.
How does he smell?
Terrible.
Sometimes it's just nice to give you something to put silence out after James.
It's just you've already said that on this podcast.
And I can't remember who was that.
the guest, but they did not go for it.
I believe the phrase was, what the fuck was that?
Oh, yeah.
Can you remember who it was? Was it Amy?
I can't remember who it was. No, Amy Gertel.
She'd have loved that.
Yeah, maybe not Amy.
Sounds like it might have been Ella.
I don't think I was there for this.
Was it not Ray? It was Ray or Leary.
It was.
It was like, what was that?
Such a nice, polite man, but he had to know what had gone wrong there.
Maybe he didn't get it.
It's a very high-brow joke.
You thought he didn't have ears
Oh hang on, does he have ears?
I don't think he has ears
I'm picturing him now
I've been through some stuff
hasn't he that character
Poor guy
Oh he's the victim as well
Is he Andy
Who was the victim before
This hat man
Barry Hat piss
Barry Hat piss and Voldemort
Wow I'm really siding with the badies today
He's got ears
Voldemort's got ears
Just please don't write in
We've ascertained that Voldemore has ears
