Little Fish: You've Been Harkin'd

0:11Hello and welcome to an episode of Little Fish, your new weekly audience fact special of No Such Thing as a Fish. This is The Sibling Show This is Big Brother's Little Brother This is Bake Off an Extra Slice Bake Off an Extra Slice Tracers Uncloaked God, you know a lot of these Oh yeah While I work in television I have to know this stuff Antiques Roadshow The Cheap Shit

0:40So we've got some audience facts That have been sent in By a range of listeners They're all brilliant Let's get into it Does anyone have a fact They'd like to kick off with? I can do one? Yeah, go on Alright, this comes in From Kyla Jemison and the fact is that the P-tank on the International Space Station has a Blue Sky account to update everyone on how full it is. So when you say a P-tank, a tank of wee? Yeah, so there's a toilet on the ISS. There's a few toilets on the ISS, one in particular. You don't want to be caught short. Yeah, and they have been. They have been. Have they? Oh yeah, they've had some international problems as well.

1:13When stuff on the ground is going wrong and let's say one toilet is clogged, maybe the Americans won't allow the Russians to use their toilet or vice versa. Really? There's a lot of problems, but they do have a tank that collects the urine. The urine then gets turned into drinkable water, so it's reused and so on. And this is not an official account. It's very explicit that it's not affiliated with NASA, but there is an account on Blue Sky called the ISS Piss Tracker. And it's because the data of how full the tanks are are available to the public. And so it updates all the time. Come on then, how full is the P-Tank right now?

1:51Right now? Should we have a game? Yeah, okay. Is it percentage? Yeah, it's percentage. Okay, okay. I'm going to say 37%. You're going to say 37%. I've got 38%. Just play the averages. Okay, that's a math of attention to answer. That's absolute bullshit. I'm sorry. I'll change it. 37.1%. Unbelievable. Okay, you sure? All right. As of six minutes ago, the last update, it was 38 % full. You're joking. No. I said 38. Yeah, you did. And then you pulled back to 37.1, so you're still ahead of Andy. Yeah, but you can only accept my first answer. And the thing is, I knew, I had a feeling it was 38. And when Andy said 37, I thought, oh gosh, he's going to get really close.

2:34But I know it's 38, so I'm just going to go for 38. Because you thought I went for 38 because it's one more than 37. Absolutely. But no, I had an inkling. And when you said just play the averages, that was just your code for I know it. I just know it. Are you serious? James got it bang on. He got it bang on. That's so annoying. If we'd done it 22 minutes ago, it was 36 % full. And you would have got it. You would have got it. But yeah. We've got to start these shows on time. I'm sorry. I'm really annoyed. I was looking into just urine in space and how it works in the International Space Station and General Shuttles and so on.

3:08And there was a mission in 1984 where something went wrong with the exit point of where the urine gets let out into space. It froze up at the end. there was a giant icicle and they were really worried because they thought that if it loosens up it might crack the heat shields as we're going back down they almost did a space walk to sort of chisel it off but in the end they had a robot arm that came and knocked it off and knocked it away wow it also meant that once they'd got rid of it the toilet was now out of order so for six days they had to pee into plastic bags but and also in space really hard to pee because of the microgravity, right?

3:45So you've got to be very careful. So how do you think you do it? You've got the bag. Bag for life? It's gotta be. Because the other, the flimsy ones have small holes in the bottom, don't they? No use. I assume these are more like what you'd put your sandwich in rather than... Oh, don't put your sandwich in there. I don't think Sainsbury's bags made it to the ISS or Challenger. Do you get in the bag? Have the pee? How would that help? Well, because none of the pee is... Get in the bag, someone holds it clothes you have your wee quickly then you just get out of the bag you're covered in piss it doesn't make sense put the bag on the penis this is for men uh-huh couple of crocodile clips hold it in place good very nice now we're thinking like astronauts now we are astronauts that did not make the cut uh no what the what you would do is you would put socks in and you would put underwear in so that the liquid would instantly soak into something so they were losing their socks they were losing all of the clothing for six days while they're up there but they made it back safe so all good great here's one from lauren kramer in spite of being completely landlocked and because of its man-made lakes and reservoirs oklahoma has more shoreline than the east and west coast of the contiguous states combined it also has an international port because the river connects to the mississippi wait oklahoma has more shoreline than the east and west coasts of america That's what they're saying.

5:08But isn't Oklahoma part of the contiguous east and west? Yeah, but they don't have a Pacific or Atlantic coastline. So they're saying that the shoreline in Oklahoma is more than the Pacific and the Atlantic combined. What? Wow. How can that be? Have you run the math? Well, I've looked into it and I think probably it's not true, unfortunately. Because if you just take Alaska, the shoreline of Alaska is 33 ,904 miles. and according to the official bureau Oklahoma has 55 ,646 miles of shoreline on its lakes so if Alaska is like 60 % of the total probably once you add the eastern seaboard and western seaboard yeah then you're gonna go above it so I think it's probably not true but it was difficult for me to find the exact figures wait did you say Oklahoma on its lakes on its lakes so basically Oklahoma has a ton of lakes and so they count a shoreline all the shores of the lakes and it's like this thing that you know if you're a sooner state person like you would just know that as a fact you're told as a kid but I think probably it's not quite true uh Lauren also said that at high school she learned that Oklahoma has the world's largest salt flats alabaster deposit and parakeet farm uh the largest salt flats is in Bolivia the largest gypsum deposits are in Spain and the parakeet farm closed in the 1950s after a fire.

6:34So I'm sorry, Lauren. Oh, Lauren, you've experienced a rite of passage for anyone involved in QI or no such thing as fish, which is called a thorough hearkening. And it's like, it's never a nice experience, but you do come out of it a wiser person. Yeah, I'm sorry. It's not Lauren's fault. She was told this at school. James, I know, but that's a thorough job. Because now, Lauren, you get to watch when James dishes out a hearkening to the next person and you can be like, yeah. It's a club. It is a club. Every other human being is in that club. Yeah. Who's farming parakeets? It was one person. It was one guy in Warica.

7:09Now, I might have mispronounced that, so Lauren might write in and say I mispronounced it. But they brought in just a few parakeets from abroad, and then parakeets have like four or five babies every year. And so by the 1950s, they had about 1 ,500 breeding pairs. Wow. But then there was a fire, and they never quite reached their former glory. And now if you go on the internet and you Google Oklahoma parakeets, you see Oklahoma was once the parakeet capital of the world, and no one knows why. Well, that's why. Now we know. I've got one, which I think is true, from Tracy Theakston. A common British job used to be operating a Shake Willy machine.

7:48That's in the ISS once you've finished. Take off the crocodile clips, shake your willy. Get out of that bag. This is so good So you know the word shoddy Dodgy It was like a kind of old cloth or something Shoddy wasn't it That's what it's about I don't know if it's a word that's travelled outside the UK I don't know if in America or Australia It's a bit of a shoddy job isn't it Yeah you say shoddy Well it was this cloth And it was a mix of ground up rags And virgin wool And it was then woven into new cloth And some of the makers started upping the amount of recycled material and that led to low quality cloth because the new stuff was getting more expensive.

8:34So the word gained the meaning shoddy, low quality. Shoddy just used to mean, oh, this is shoddy. You know, just, oh, what a nice piece of shoddy cloth. Great. Anyway, one of the steps of making the shoddy cloths was to do the willying in a shake willy machine. What it meant was roughly cleaning the material to fluff it up and to remove any dirt. Can you stop doing that with your hands while you tell us about it? And there are these census records of williers, willie girls, willie men Do we know why it was called willie? Is it because they got woolly? Two theories One is that there were willow baskets involved And one is that it's a derivation of winnowing Where you're winnowing out the low quality stuff So you had to feed the wool into the shake willie And that fluffed it up And that got rid of the nips Which is the dust and the dirt The second willying machine is called the teaser Which is teasing it apart So as far as I can tell You do the fluffing and the shake willy You get rid of the nips Put it through the teaser And then finally add the lubricant What's the process?

9:30Did Kenneth Williams invent this job? Imagine what's your profession? I'm a willy man That's good We were doing this recently With the Rachel Paris episode Where we talked about extinct jobs Yeah, I must admit I had willying on my list But we never got around to it That's surely extinct There's nobody willying these days No willies now, no There is a brilliant Yorkshire company Called Inuyo What? Was that your Yorkshire accent? No, it's what it's called, E-N-U-Y-O, which is an abbreviation of It is not over until it is over. But it's almost all vowels. Sorry, what's that to do with Willy-I-C? They're a recycling firm.

10:10It's about recycling cloth. I got it. And Shoddy was pioneered in Batley in Yorkshire by Benjamin Law, who founded a company called Shoddy Manufacturing, which is just lovely. Right, who's next? I've got one. This was sent in to us by Jackie Gemmell. She writes, the reason airplanes have round windows is because old planes used to have square ones, which created weak points, which caused metal fatigue. And metal fatigue failure would be where the window was weakened further by air pressure at high altitude. And supposedly a few crashes were off the back of this. And so they now, as we all know, have circular windows, and that is to distribute the pressure evenly.

10:52Yeah, it's a strong, very strong shape, isn't it, circle? Yeah. I think now the materials are strong enough that you could get any shape of window. Could you have a plane that was all window? Yeah, now you can. Wow. But people just wouldn't go for it. I think I wouldn't either. I think I would not go for that. I would like a plane where you can see into the hold. So you look down, you're like, oh, there's my bag. Yeah. I think that'd be really great. Do you think? I reckon you don't want to know what goes on in there. I always imagine some weird shit goes on in those holds Yeah, lots of willy shaking down there Or like snakes on a plane kind of thing Yeah, I don't want to see snakes down there But a novelty glass bottom plane is a very interesting concept Yeah Like that is quite interesting to I'm a terrified flyer, but even I think I might do that No Yeah Have you ever been in a glass bottom boat?

11:47I have They're great fun Thank you you didn't invent them and well done and we should say dan invented the glass and now he's going to do it again with the plane apparently what about an airplane you know those rides at theme parks where you're not in a carriage you're sort of suspended by your shoulders the danglers you're a dangler what about a rhino where it's a dangle all the way to malaga oh my goodness so the plane has a top but no bottom yeah that's a good idea i'm thinking you know saves a bit of money on fuselage. It's going to make serving of the drinks very tricky. I'll say that. I guess the stewards are hanging upside down.

12:26I suppose they could winch themselves along. Damn, because there's no bottom on the plane. Why are they hanging upside down? Why are they not just attached the right way up, like you are? They're all vampires. Okay, okay. I'm going to row back on that. They can be the right way up. Now we're talking. remember to not let Andy pitch our weird roller coaster plane ride it will be stressful when you're coming into Lampo because it'll feel like you have to run very very fast at a certain point to slow the plane down it's a Flintstones plane Mark Logie writes in the 1760s Simon Harcourt the first Earl Harcourt demolished the village of Noonan Courtney as well as Noonan House in order to make room for his garden and he rebuilt the entire village one mile to the northeast wow to make room for his garden yeah it feels to me like it's easier to move a garden than it is to yeah but the thing is about rich people they're not really bothered about what's easiest they're more bothered about what's more convenient for them and what's affordable like if that's just within your budget i think for simon harcourt the first earl harcourt everything was within budget all right there you go and just rebuilt it correctly Yeah, so if you drive through that area now, so it's like basically from the M4 to the M40 up there, you can go through Newnham Courtney, and basically all the buildings look almost identical because he had to build them all at the same time for the people who he moved from that village.

13:56Wow. Look, it's good that he rebuilt it. I'll say that. Yeah. I would be a bit annoyed if someone said, I'm going to move your house from my garden. But if you're putting it back... What difference does it make if he moves everyone's, right? Yeah, no difference. I guess you're going to have a bit of time where the renovation is going on that's going to be quite inconvenient. Yeah, those jobs do stretch on, don't they? Especially if the builders will be quite busy because they've got to rebuild everyone's house. What would have been great is if one family happened to have gone away on a really long trip and everyone decided not to tell them what had happened.

14:26And they just go on as normal. I swear to God we were closer to that house. Am I going nuts? Something else about Newnham Courtney. Yeah. I was looking into famous residents. it's Mavis Lever. She was the person who broke the Italian Enigma code, which allowed the Royal Navy to ambush the Italian fleet at the Battle of Matapan, which was quite decisive. And she also broke the Abwehr Enigma, which was one of the German enigmas. They had a few different codes that they used. Right. And that one, she solved it with her colleague Margaret Rock, which led to the great saying, give me a lever and rock and I can move the universe.

15:06Bloody brilliant. That's what one of her bosses said. That's really good.

15:15Here's one. It's from Jude Kafruni. This is maybe the most stoner fact in the inbox over the last, you know what I mean? Like the sort of, whoa, like the sort of cosmically mind-blowing fact. Let's hear it. The T-Rex is closer to us in time than it is to the Stegosaurus. Now, I really like this. I love dinosaur timing facts. Yeah. And this is that the T-Rex went extinct when they all did, about 65, 6 million years ago, right? But the T-Rex was actually quite new. It had only properly arrived in its final form at about 72 million years ago. And I got really sad reading that. And I thought, no, they had 6 million years.

15:56That's a long time. That's such a long time. I don't know what I got. I got a bit misty-eyed thinking, God, they were in their prime. They had so much to give. They could have built their own HS2 in that time. Exactly. But when that happened, when T-Rex arrived 72 million years ago in the late Cretaceous, Stegosaurus had already been extinct for over 70 million years. So the Stegosaurus and the T-Rex are further apart than the T-Rex is from us. Do you know that Sgt. Pepper's, the album, is closer to the modern day than it is to when Cleopatra was alive? No way And that's a stone effect

16:40Sounds like an impressive fact Until you actually listen to it Doesn't make you think That was the thing with the name Jurassic Park That often gets said Half the dinosaurs in the movie Are not Jurassic It implies that the dinosaurs in the park Would have been incredibly freaked out by each other The T-Rex would have been looking at the Stegosaurus Thinking what is that whereas the humans they would have been relatively calm about because we're closer in time to them so they'd be like oh yeah it's normal you know what i mean yeah it's an interesting point i don't think so not an interesting point no i retract mine as well no you can't retract your point just because to go along with james if you look now at an animal that was extinct 55 million years ago and then you see an animal which hasn't been invented yet and will come in 20 million years Even though it's closer to you, which is going to be more surprising?

17:32Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, all right. I retract. We're all agreeing. My point was not interesting or good. You've been hearkened. Oh, God. Oh, it's tough. It's tough. But the T-Rex used to be the size of a Dalmatian. When it started. Ages ago. Yeah, yeah. Right. I think that's cool. Three meters long and 30 kilos. Was that a T-Rex or like another Tyrannosaur? Like a related Tyrannosaur? It was an ancestor. It was what eventually turned into the T-Rex. Because I wonder if a baby T-Rex, when it's born, is already bigger than that size. I don't know. Three metres is a big egg, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, that's true.

18:09Anyway, there you go. Here's one. This is from Ron Layback. And Ron says that Case Western Reserve University, which is home of the famous physics study, the mickelson morley experiment which disproved that the ether existed of looking at me like you know what that means the theory was that the earth was going through some kind of air or some kind of field but actually it turned out that it's going through space and these guys proved it anyway wow this university they test whether or not galileo's theorem of gravity is true every halloween by dropping two jumbo sized pumpkins from the top of the auditorium building and the idea is they could be different weights but they should land at the same time right and spoiler alert gravity works and they are correct good to good to check every year though you never know you never know it might change yeah i think that is fun scientists have to check these things and it brought me onto pumpkins i've done a bit of my own research on pumpkins there's an old qi fact that 95 % of pumpkins in the UK are not eaten because we basically buy them and turn them into jack-o'-lanterns and then throw them away.

19:22But actually, that is not true anymore. That fact is really, really old. But there was a 2024 survey that found about 37 % of pumpkins are eaten. Which is just under the amount of urine currently sitting inside the ISS P-tank. That's food for thought. But it's... Whoa! Sorry, it looks like a stone effect. But it's still not enough. And there is a campaign run by Hubbub, which is a charity for the environment, and someone called Emily Gussin, who wrote something called Don't Waste Your Pumpkin, to try and get people to eat pumpkins. And they have pumpkin recipes and just raise awareness of not wasting food.

20:01And they claimed that they've almost halved pumpkin waste in the last year. Wow. So that's really good work for them. so if you're listening to this it's three weeks after halloween already but don't despair if you've still got a few pumpkins there just scrape off the mold they might still be good nice can i just do one more thing because i have an extra one that we never got to and i did lots of extra research for it so frederico sanna wrote that if tom and jerry was made in ancient rome tom instead of being a cat would have been a weasel and that's because according to frederico the romans had pet weasels instead of pet cats to get rid of mice and stuff lovely i found a website called found in antiquity.com and they have a really really long explanation of this and they don't think it's true they think that weasels were not used as pets they were in the houses but they were kind of a pest themselves but the reason i wanted to say it is because they found on this website that this theory was first theorized in 1718 by magnus ridelius and andreas e weasel and they reckon that maybe he came up with this theory that they had pet weasels because his name was mr weasel amazing amazing oh federico you've been hearkened that's that's good though that's um that's very interesting yeah i think the jury's still slightly out but because they're in the house i mean that's a big animal to have in your house as a pest yeah but a lot of the sources when they talk about these weasels they talk about them in the same as you would say there is a fly in the house or there's a mouse in the house or a rat in the house it's like an annoying thing right are they basically like ferrets well they're smaller than ferrets and ferret the other thing is ferrets actually are quite easy to tame and like i have a friend said who i don't know if He still has a pet ferret, but he definitely used to.

21:58I think John Mitchinson from QI used to have a pet ferret. Oh, that's right. Yes. But I think a weasel, they're just a little bit angry, and I think they don't make good pets. Do we get them in the UK? I can't actually. Oh, weasels, yeah, we get weasels. Good facts. Old QI facts. Most weasels in the UK are least weasels, because there's a species called the least weasel, which is the most common one in the UK. That's lovely. I think we had a fact in the inbox. Someone's saying, sorry, I don't remember the correspondence, it now, but the least weasel is currently rated as least concerned, which is nice because their population's kind of doing all right.

22:32Yeah. My, uh, my old neighbor used to take a ferret for a walk on a, on a, on a lead as a pet, which is a cool thing to do. I think it's cool. Yes. Yes, you do. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's end it there. Let's go to inaugurating the latest members of the Friend of the Podcast Hall of Fame. Exciting. Anyone who has signed up to Clubfish At the Friend of the Podcast tier Gets one of our headline facts In perpetuity You are then the sponsor, patron, whatever you like Of that fact and you get a little shout out On this show, that's what we're trying to say here So we should do some shout outs Guys, we've had a bit of a rush on Membership of Friend of the Podcast So we are going to up the pace Of the number of shout outs we give per show And get through a few more So we're sorry, we may not get to some of you For a little while but your names are in the system and we're going to try really hard to get through them.

23:25There's been a swell. You know those companies when you ring them and they say, sorry, we're having an unexpected large number of calls but they say it absolutely every single day. We're going to have that. I'm afraid we've experienced unprecedented demand and we're going to be dealing with it in a precedented way. So your fact will be dealt with in around seven months. It'll be before then, we hope. It'll be before then, we hope. Let's do some. Right, today, shout out number one goes to Orion Slater. Brilliant. What a terrific name, Orion. Three stars. Lovely, lovely. Orion must be absolutely sick of that joke.

24:05Belt up. There we go. Very good. Anyway, Orion, your fact is that the earliest known dentistry is 9 ,000 years old. Yes. Now, the exciting thing about this fact is it's not one of our facts, or even one of Anna's. That's right. it's greg jenner's historian greg jenner and uh this was our third episode and greg jenner and comedian alex edelman were sitting there with me and james for this episode so where was i i think you i think you didn't really care about the show at that point you're sort of a bit loosey and i've maintained that i know you were busy in those days yeah we did two in one day actually do you remember and we got greg and alex to come in and do a show and then as soon as we finished as soon as the mics went off, they came back on again and we did a show with the four of us.

24:52That's right. They basically came in to have a cup of tea. James and I said, why don't we just make an episode instead while they're here? So yeah, well done to Orion Slater. Great fact. Ancient dentistry. Let's have another. Okay, well, this one is going to Christine and Tom Asbridge. And the fact is that according to Dr. Hans Ulrich, the Middle Ages never happened. this is a wild theory called phantom time hypothesis largely put into the show because we knew that greg would be horrified he was sitting on a show that was discussing this particular thing it was just to upset him really wasn't it yeah in a friendly way we do we do like him uh but it would that was the idea yeah and the exciting thing about that one is that this is a special medieval fact requested by christine for tom who is a medieval historian and writer so we're not going to say you can request your facts if you're a friend of the podcast but you can put a little note in you know like where you put i'm allergic to nuts or something yeah when you but as as the guy who does the emails i'd like to specify that as the chef in this restaurant i may put nuts in anyway that's absolutely well and while andy's replied to your emails he may be touching nuts so let's go to the next one which was the fact is the most medically indispensable sea creature in the United States is the horseshoe crab.

26:13And that was originally a fact from Alex Edelman. Lovely. A good friend. Like he's in the room. But now it is under the custodianship of Anna, also known as Anna MC, Anna Mack. She's a regular contributor to various emails and stuff like that. Yeah. Congratulations, Anna. Yeah. And I do like the fact the most medically indispensable sea creature in the United States. Like, it's Qualifier City, isn't it? Yeah. I think Alex had just read a documentary or watched a documentary about the horseshoe crab and just wanted to talk about that. I love the idea of reading a documentary. It feels like it's the kind of thing you would do, James, where you print out the transcript of the documentary and then you read it because you'll do it faster and there might be irritating pictures in the way.

26:59Yeah. I have a friend who reads all of our podcasts, doesn't listen to them, reads them. Wow. I mean you read famously Scripts of Toy Story All four of them Never seen the films Did you cry at the right bits? Yeah Just dripped on the printout Couldn't read the next bit Right let's have another fact This one is going to 00 Dynames Dynames It's a terrific name And it's that Queen Elizabeth Slept in a bedroom with 28 women so congratulations double o she's the bonnie blue of her time that's rude is it? I'm going to pretend I don't know who that is me too I think that was the vibe we were going for to try and do a bit of innuendo but actually this was the fact that she had lots of handmaids and stuff who used to sit and sleep in her bedroom yeah they'd watch her give birth as well Queen Elizabeth I Wow, you have changed history, Dan That's huge Sorry I was thinking about the chambermaids who would stay And births in those periods were often viewed by huge parties So for Queen Elizabeth I, nicknamed the Virgin Queen I think probably that wouldn't have been a big part of the job spec Not the nickname of Bonnie Blue Okay, well I don't know who that is Right, carry on So the next one I'll do this one It's that 30 million Chinese people live in caves.

28:31And that fact is now under the custodianship of Nathan Morgan. Congratulations, Nathan. Feels like a fact that will have undergone some depreciation. Yeah, I think it was a fact of its time. It could have been an appreciation because the population's gone up a long way in the last 11 years. Yeah. What of China? Oh, yeah. I suppose it has. Yeah, definitely. I feel like the housing boom in China might have... There's lots of rural bits of China that... There are, but increasingly more people live in these mega cities, don't they? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's interesting that we can now say, we've been going so long that we can talk about our old facts and say, wow, that was a different time.

29:06And it's us we're talking about. Well, it's weird if you listen back to that episode, you'd probably hear yourself saying stuff where you're going, what am I talking about? I don't know that. When did I say that? Oh, I mean, that happens with every episode bar the last three. Who's this guy? He sounds handsome. Are you one of those people who always gets me and you mixed up? I am. voices every time i look at the mirror i'm shocked not have your face uh should i do one yeah all right hello alex tiefsky you have just become the custodian of this fact from james harkin there is a banker in latvia who will lend you money using your immortal soul as security that's great is he still going i'm not sure i'll tell you why i did this fact because our first i think our first ever listener was Gattis, who is, or who was the advertising partner of my wife.

29:57And I sent him the episode to see what he thought about it. And that was before it went online or anything. And he is from Latvia. So I thought we'd do a little Latvian fact quite early on. That's so cool. That is cool. Our first listener. That's great. I think he is. Well, that's a great fact. Congratulations, Alex. I'll do another one. This is another Anna, Anna, your fact Forever is that for a hundred years Almost all maps of Africa contained a Fictional mountain range called the Mountains Of Kong So to clarify That was a fact that was Said by Anna Yes, but it's now under the custodianship of Another Anna Whose surname we don't know, she's just Anna Exactly, unless Anna Our Anna has signed up to be a friend Of the podcast.

30:42Not a chance No, she doesn't listen to the main show let alone whatever we're doing now. She doesn't know this exists. I spoke to her last weekend and she says she has been listening to the episodes and really enjoying them. Oh, okay. So Anna's been replaced. Motherhood has done a really weird thing to her second time around. She did look very tired.

31:04That's a great fact. I think that's a really fun fact, the Mountains of Kong. There's just this huge mountain range. Everyone said, well, you can't go that way. What about the Mountains of Kong? And they just weren't there. That one feels weirdly like an OG classic. of fish. Absolutely. Here is one more for this week.
