Little Fish: No Harm, No FoulApr 12, 2026 — starts at 0:00

Alright everybody, welcome to another episode of Little Fish. My name is Andrew Hunter Murray. I'm here with Dan Schreiber and James Harkin and we have gathered to give you your best facts. You've been sending them into podcast at QI.com and we're here to tell you all about them. And then at the end, we're gonna do some more fact custodianships for people who joined Clubfish at the Friend of the Podcast tier. So uh let's get into it. Who's gonna who's got a fact? That was depressingly good, Andy. Yes. James has been telling me that I make a Horlicks of this intro every time and was grinning at me throughout that, just waiting for me to do so. I was trying to put you off and it didn't work at all. No, no, no, no. I got a fact. Should I jump into it? Yeah. Dan Connolly sends this. Uh, he says, a few months after co-starring as Papa in the video for Madonna's Papa Don't Preach, Danny Aiello , who is an actor that you will know from movies such as The Godfather Part 2. Um, he's Leon the Professional, he's got a very, very familiar face in those movies. So he he was Papa in Papa Don't Preach. Oh, I see. Okay. Yeah. So not long after that was released, he released an answer song to it, Papa Wants the Best For You, his own version, to reply to Madonna for what she was saying. Is he preaching throughout it? He's he's sort of I've watched the video and it the song sounds very much like a 1990s or a 1980s sitcom. Um sitcom. Yeah, like you know, like the intro where it's like everyone's turning their heads and smiling at camera. Picture what song's underneath that, it's got that vibe about it. Okay. But he seems really distraught. He's like it's honestly the same tone. We understand it though. Yeah. Then it works. Yeah. So he he did this reply song. Wow. You know, and he did occasional songs. He released a few albums, but he wasn't a big singer. So Papa Don't Preach is Madonna saying, Don't tell me what to do, Dad. Right? Yeah. Yeah. I think I think it had something to do with her having a baby and uh needing an abortion. I think you know, coded underneath it. Okay. Um but largely that's what it was. Yeah. Um because I don't know the song. All I can think of is the Papa and Nicole adverts. That's what it's based on. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I'm just gonna say to forest all the emails, Renault, not citron. Oh, I knew it was that, but I thought no one's gonna write in for that, are they? James, you don't see the inbox like I see it. Yeah, so this comes in a long line of answer songs, as they're known. Can I say one? F-U-R-B. Frankie. Frankie. That's the one I know. Well, that was the bit that was massive in the 90s, I think it was. And uh it was basically a song. Would you remember what his name was, The Artist? I can't remember now. I can't remember, but his song was F U. Amen, he was called. And he just says F you all the way through to this girl and then she says F you right back. But she was she didn't know him in real life. Turns out she didn't, and that was the big thing because at the time it was sold as if this was the genuine girlfriend and it was a sort of one-off. But this this goes back so far back. So Walter Riley and Krista Marlowe traded answer pieces with each other. Who Christopher Marlowe? Walter Riley. Oh Walter Raleigh. Oh Riley. Yeah. Not Riley. Walter Riley is just some guy. Walter Raleigh is sailing to the New World and doing all of that. Oh yeah, no, I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about Walter Riley. Yeah. No, Raleigh, sorry, um who wrote The Passionate Shepherd to his love and there was a reply which was the ninth reply to the shepherd. So it goes all the way back then. It's not necessarily beef, it's just a reply. It's a different perspective. Lamb, innit? But yeah, Neil Sadaka wrote a O'Carroll in reply to O'Carolina by Shaggy . I don't even know a second shaggy song, so that's amazing knowledge there. Um Neil Sadaka wrote O'Carroll and Carol King wrote O'Neal in reply to that. Oh that's good. Um David Bowie wrote a um wrote a song or no had an album called Low, L O W. Yeah. And then there was a s a musician called Something Low, L O W E , and he released an album called Bowie Without the E.. Ver Veryy n niceice . I wish I could remember everything about it. It was the first record released by Stiff La Stiff Label. Stiff Label that had like Madness Rin and a lot of other people. There's a crazy one, which is that um John Lennon with the Beatles put out in My Life and his dad, who was not a singer, his dad was like a sailor. He was out on the seas, and that's why John didn't grow up with him, released a song that same year within the same month called That 's My Life. And it's been labeled as an answer song. Uh, but I think it was just jumping off the the sort of coincidence of title to make it so that he goes up in the charts with the name Lennon. But what's amazing is he recorded it with a 30-piece orchestra and two of the members of that orchestra were part of Jimi Hendrix's experience band. So it was Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell, the p the two people who defined Psychedelia along with Jimi Hendrix worked on a song with John Lennon's dad back in nineteen sixty five. Should we have another fact? Yeah, okay. Here's one. Um this one I seem to have become the repository for facts about sporting teams with weird wordy coincidences. Look, a sport fact comes into the inbox. I think I'm not going near that. I know who's the man. Yeah, well um Sveinon Carlson wrote in and said that between nineteen seventy five and nineteen eighty eight, the football club West Bromwich Albion went through a run of managers whose first names went Johnny Ronnie John Ron, Ronnie Ron, Johnny Nobby, Ron and Ron Nobby sticks out of it. Nobby sticks out a mile. Oh, that's that's so funny. So Sweining found this on um Twitter uh from a uh Twitter account called Touchline X. Um but yeah he, checked it out and it was Johnny Giles, Ronnie Allen, John Wiles, Ron Atkinson, Ronnie Allen, Ron Wylie, Johnny Giles, Nobby Styles, Ron Saunders and Ronnie. Johnny Giles. Yeah. Giles and Styles. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Was that a fact from someone called Carlson? His surname is Carlson. That's probably the best fact about football managers I've ever heard. That's brilliant. From Carlsberg. That's a reference to Carlsberg. Yeah, okay, just for stalling the emails, handy. It's close enough. Uh and at the same time, uh you sent me a fact from Ola Everback, and it is about Bodeglimped, who won against Athlet ico Madrid in the Champions League recently? And the uh goals were scored by Surlof from Madrid, Sjurvold, and H and all of those names have got a circle with a line through it. Oh okay. You know, like uh the O with a an U . Yeah . What a wonderful fact. What a wonderful fact, yeah. Or said that it was maybe the greatest win for the letter uh through all times. Here's a fact from Mike Abdullah. Your fact bestowing at the end of Little Fish has probably had the intended effect here and prompted me to go and listen to some old episodes. Guys, it works. Ah, yes. It works. Nice. A friend of mine has worked on maintaining some old software which uses something called the PIC Operating System. This product was named after one of its developers, Mr. Dick Pick. Come on. I've looked this up and I tell you I got it wrong the first time. I did not add pick operating system in quotes. I just searched Dick Pick. yeah. How was it? It was all right. Scout a mile. Lost an hour of time, but it was good. So anyway, no, Dick Pick was a real guy who came up with the pick operating system. That's so good. And um I suppose he predated the dick pic. That's wonderful. Yeah. Predated the digital dick pic. Absolutely. His was the analog. Anyway. Here's another one. This is from Daniel Atkinson. Says a little fact I discovered researching the nineteen eighty-five Austrian wine poisonings. Oh. So before before I get to his fact, we should qualify what that is. 1985, uh, in Austria there was an incident where all the wineries were found to be illegally adulterating their wines by using uh an antifreeze to make sure that it was sweeter, that it had that full-bodied taste, like one that was like a late harvest wine. And why is that illegal? Well because it can make you blind. Oh there you go. Just thought we'd draw better draw that out. You know, anti-freeze sounds good, doesn't it? It sounds great. You know what? Your wine freez ing . So Austria, for a while, they were the third largest wine producer in the world. And this absolutely decimated them because it it was seen to be illegal and they had to get rid of all of these bottles of wine. So they ended up draining away twenty seven million liters of wine. So thirty-six million bottles. It was seven months worth of Austria's total wine exports. Um and they did use it for useful things. They they started into cars, I presume. Well, yeah, and that's the thing. They were using it um for sewage treatment plants. Um, they were using it on the roads um as an anti-freeze. Like yeah, so it's amazing. But the fact that's been sent in by Daniel Atkinson is that apparently when the news eventually got out about the poisoned wine, many countries in Europe banned not just wine from Austria, but China and Japan accidentally banned all of Australia's wine as well. Um because of the similar names. Don't be too careful. Yeah. That's very funny. Very incredible. Okay, here is one from Declan Curry. And Declan says, my fact is if you walked around the whole earth on the equator, your head would travel roughly thirty seven feet further than your feet. The curvature of the Earth. What? But it w Yeah, so that that's that's very dangerous actually, isn't it? Ending up with your head that much further away from your feet. There are there are a few technical issues, such as the fact that most of the equator is underwater. Sure. Yes. Um but yeah, in theory that's what would happen. So what goes further? Your legs and your feet. Your head goes. very good . That's amazing. Um can you think of any ways that you can tell how far away from the equator you are? Um well look around you. And um if you can see a polar ice cap, you know you're you've got a way to go. Yeah, but how do you know you're not in the south pole? I well I'd um I suppose I'd look around for any polar bears. And if I can't see any polar bears, then I'm definitely at the uh South Pole. Yeah, or the zoo. Exactly. Are you shorter? You're shorter. Yeah, is gravity pulling on you slightly stronger? That'll be it. Like you're just very slightly through. it Very difficult for you to measure, I should think. So what am I trying to tell here? If I'm at the equator, how can you tell? I'd probably use Google Maps, wouldn't I? I mean r on a practical level. Okay, your phone's not working. Oh well I'm st I'm stuffed. I'll look around probably for any nearby trees with moss on them. Okay. And if I and and you know, if I find trees with moss on them I'm happy wherever I am in the world. Okay. Trees is a good one. Okay. So there is one way you could do this. This is um the cook pine tree. And the cook pine tree bends a different amount depending on how close to the equator you are. Admittedly it doesn't grow in all places on earth, but wherever you are, if you can find a species of this tree, the amount that it's leaning will tell you your latitude. That's done, that's done. That's great. Another way you can do it is you can speak to one of the locals and if their language has more vowels than consonants, they're gonna live closer to the equator. Okay. Absolutely foolproof. And you're saying that's less hard than measuring yourself. To to like an angstrom of height, right? I mean, how much taller are you? Oh, I don't know. I was uh I I thought you had the answers . I have the answers to my actual answers. But not my ones, I get it now. Not your whimsical ones. Alright, I get it. Shall I give you another one? Yeah. Yeah. This is from John O'Whitehead. I was listening to you and Dan brought up RAS syndrome, which stands for redundant ac ronym syndrome, syndrome. Oh yeah. Lovely. Uh and I thought you'd appreciate this. We all know what a cuttlefish is, don't we? Cuttlefish? Yeah. Yeah. Little sort of squiddy things. Sure. They're oceanic and molluscoid, don't they? Yeah. Yeah. We all know what a cuttlefish is. Anyway, the cuttle in cuttlefish comes from the old English cudel meaning cuttlefish. So a cuttlefish is a cuttlef ish fish. That's good. That is good. Pleasing, isn't it? And I had a little extra look into what cuttlefish comes from. The kudel either comes from the middle low German kudl meaning container or the old Norse coddy which means cushion or testicle or the old English cod. Oh and cod actually comes from the same as testicle actually, like a cod piece. I read that cod and cod piece were not I guess there's Oh sorry the testicle cod not the fish cod. Yes, you're absolutely right. Cudel is where cod piece comes from. Exactly. Exactly. Interesting. And why do we think that it's called that? Is it like the sh ell that you would use as a cup or something? Uh yeah, I think so. I think it's I think that's either it or it's like a cushion or it's like a testicle, which would be the old. Where you get sepia from? Like that you have in old photographs. I don't know. I only know that you put you put a cuttlefish um shell in the in the base of a parrot's cage for it to have something to chew on. That's true. Yeah. That's what they all dream to be when they're older. There's a good uh RAS syndrome one that I remember now which is uh DC Comics. Oh is it? Detective Comics yeah well detective comics comics. Is that right? It's in there. And then and then somehow someone picked me up for this because I got it wrong uh in my book, which was I wrote the HIV virus. Of course, the V is virus. I think it's fine. Yeah, I think I don't mind you putting virus in there just to make sure everyone knows what you're talking about. That's what I said to the brain surgeon, and he was not buying it. He got his friend, the rocket scientist, involved. Um, here is a fact from Andrew Joseph Perez, and they say that the man who was arrested for vandalizing Donald Trump star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in twenty sixteen offered to bail out the man who was arrested for vandalizing Donald Trump star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in twenty eighteen. Well, that's nice. Isn't it? That's a club. What a family. Yeah. Yeah. Passing it on to pay us pay it forward. Yeah. Did they do anything especially amusing to the star or did they really interesting though, gotta say. I got facts about the Hollywood Walk of Fame though. Oh yeah. Um so who of these people has the biggest star? Oh uh Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Stanley Kubrick, Brad Pitt, Jim Carey, or Al Pacino. Who has the biggest star? Because they're all basically the same size. They're all the same size, but there are some differences in some of the stars. For instance, the Apollo eleven crew have stars on there, but they're in the shape of moons. Oh, that's clever. Okay. Because they went to the moon. Yeah. That's pretty good. Oh, I get it now. Yeah . Um so I've been to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and I've I've walked up and down. Same here. I was looking for looking for looking for you. I can't is is one of them got a comically big star? Jolie Clooney, DiCaprio Affleck, Kubrick, Pitt, Carey, Pacino. Kubrick, because Kubrick did two thousand one of Space Odyssey and the Moonlandings, of course. Yeah . I'll say Kubrick. Dev? Uh I'm gonna say Jim Carey and and I have no reasoning for it. Well, the answer is none of them has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was a trick. That is a good trick. Yeah, great prank. Isn't it? Isn't it weird? Because they're all pretty big nam es. Yes. None of them has ever, as far as I can see, say said why they don't have it. But you need to be nominated to start off with. I imagine all these people have been. But then you have to pay a sponsorship fee every year and you have to attend the unveiling. Oh yeah. So it's a bit of a bit of a scam. Exactly. And they've had a rough few years, all of those. Brad Pitt, Jim Carrey. They don't really have the dosh, I don't think, to uh do that. But it is wild. You have to pay. Yeah. You have to maintain. Yeah, that's nuts. Yeah. No thank you. Is that why you don't have to do that? That's why Andy's not God is, yeah. On principle. God, I have to wade through a dozen emails a day from those guys. Please, sir 's one okay from Chris Squires great name. We talked about the Chicago River, do you remember? Yeah. Yeah. With John Lloyd. We did. And it's, you know, it used to be very, very filthy. There is someone who follows me on Instagram called the real Dave Matthews. Of of Dave Matthews bands. I don't know if it's him or not. Has he got a little tick? Sounds like him. I can't I I didn't check. But I just got a follow from someone called the real Dave Matthews and I was very excited. Because regular listeners will know uh that we talked about the Dave Matthews band whose bus went over the bridge of the Chicago River and dumped excrement on a tourist boat below. Not on purpose, as far as we know. Yeah. So so you two haven't interacted. You're just a few. I saw that he's a follower. Right. I don't follow him. I can't see his um or hers. I don't know. Could be a female Dave Matthews, but I can't see their Instagram stuff because I'm not following them. I see. Right. Sounds like Dave Matthews to me. It sounds like the real one. Well yeah, I mean on a cursory examination it sounds like the real Dave Matthews. Yeah, but it's so easy like to just make a fake the real Dave Matthews is. On the internet no one knows if you're Dave Matthews or not. Um Chris writes, you missed the most interesting fact about the Chicago River. What a challenge. And I thought we can't have done. I think we did. Really? Yeah. In nineteen hundred it changed direction.. Oh Oh This is so wild. I just didn't know it at all. It used to be really horrible, right? And it used to empty into Lake Michigan. Yep. Which is where the principal water source for the city of Chicago. Yep. So if you're taking water from the lake and it's taking water from the river and there's all sorts of horrible gunk in the river, you've got problems. I see. You've got cholera, which happened plenty. And in eighteen seventy-one, they were trying to stabilize a local canal. They pumped some water in. It temporarily reversed the flow of the Chicago River. And they thought, hang on, this is an idea. And so they created a canal to imitate a downhill direction for the river. Mm-hmm. Is that right? Isn't that stunning? That's very cool. They just reversed it. They raised Chicago around that time, didn't they? Do you remember the entire city was raised by like a meter or so? What? I think that's right. I think uh yeah, it's ringing a bell. Um I wonder if this was part of the same thing. What why do they well I think the problem is I can't really remember. But I'm sure they did it. Where's my phone? Let me just quickly check it. You two talk amongst yourselves for a minute. Dan, you watched anything good lately? Um started watching White Lotus. Oh yeah. It's good. It's okay, yeah. They're a little bit mean, aren't they? I'm only an episode in. Oh well Okay, enough of this red hot dancer. During the eighteen fifties and eighteen sixties, engineers carried out a piecemeal raising of central Chicago to lift the city off its low lying swampy ground. Good lord. Um so they raised a load of buildings um just so that they would get out of the marshes, but it's not related to the thing that you said. But very interesting. And also confusing because you know, if you raise a bit raise a city to the ground, uh that's the oh no, that's the opposite of what we wanted you to do. Very good. Right. That's for the moment. Enough of your brilliant facts. If you'd like to send in more, just email what you've got to podcast at q.com. We love receiving them.

Let's dish out some of the facts now. Who should we start with? Okay, I'll do one. This fight is now under the custodianship of Mary Sanderlands. And Mary, your fact is that after returning from the moon landing, Buzz Aldrin worked at a car dealership where he failed to sell a single car. I love this. I also understand it. If you go, you're trying to buy a a car and someone keeps saying I was on the moon, you know, I'm not interested. I want to know about the doesn't have air conditioning. Oh I bet he would. Do you think he strikes me as a very uncompromising guy. Also I'd be terrified to buy a car from Buzz Aldrin. How come? Well scary. He's very scary. He is pretty scary. Yeah. Yeah. I can imagine just him being quite brisk in a sales situation. Well I think is that he's about to close a sale and then Neil Armstrong gets in there first. Yeah. Oh, if only he was at the dealership across the road, that would be amazing. Cash pills ringing. Yeah. Michael Collins just doing a test drive. Lovely. Yeah. I've got a um he's written a couple of autobiographies, Buzz Aldrin, because he really he really struggled when he came back from the moon. There was a lot of alcohol, there was divorces, all that sort of stuff. Check out this. This is the blurb at the back of his autobiography. On the 20th of July nineteen sixty n,ine Apollo eleven made its historic first landing on the moon. Two years later, astronaut Buzz Aldrin was hospitalized for psychiatric treatment. Wow. Yes. Sent to the loony bin. Like lun , an old fashioned phrase, but one I think we're we're bringing back. If it works as a pun, it's not offensive. Got it. But it was like I think it came from the moon, like because people thought that you went crazy when you saw the moon. As in Lunatic, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Next full moon, your your place is gonna be full of uh complaints in person. Shall I do one now? Yeah. This one goes out to Wayne. Wayne, your fact is now that in the Middle Ages, the Catholic sect, the Cathars, were said to get their name from the fact they liked to kiss a cat 's ass. This is the cathars. I think this was your fact, James. Yeah. It sounds like me. They were heretics and um the do like a sect. Yeah. Do you unnatural unnatural sect. I l I have sex appeal. Nice. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No harm, no foul . Andy's lost an hour to dick pics and you've got sex . Um no, yeah, it was um it was what middle ages and they used to make up stories of what they did. Yes. And they said that they would kiss a cat's bum. And also Satan supposedly sometimes came as a cat. Right. And so it was like kissing Satan's bum. Interesting. Rick Male had a cat called Satan. Did he? Did he? Yeah. The cat Satan the Mat. Satan the mat.. Yeah Say say sa You've pushed it too far. I think it's all good. I think I'd really like it. Off the back of Looney bin as well, come on. This is this is a man watching a lot of floor work. I got it. Exact ly. Uh let's do another one. This goes out to Brad Downing. And your fact is the British pop charts have had three top 50 songs sung exclusively in Latin. Wow. I can't remember Gaudaeanus. Yeah. Um three times over? I can't think of any Latin. Like maybe like uh Pia Je zu kind of thing. Like Yeah, I think there'll probably have been choral works. Maybe it was big at Christmas, for example. I feel like there was I feel like Lil Wayne did a song last year. Maybe it was oh as in it had it in the background that he rapped over it. Oh that wouldn't count. Unless he's rapping in Latin. I don't know if it's a good language to rap in, like French, because all the you know there's so many similar rhymes at the end of words. French is terrific for rap. Which is why all the great rappers are French . There are some good French rappers. Absolutely. But I think like Latin does have endings, doesn't it? Your verb endings. Any verb . If you end each sentence in a verb, then they might rhyme. Right. Yeah, yeah. Well there's clearly a thirst for it, so maybe that can be the fish single. My Latin's very weak and the yours is not bad, is it? Um yeah, I'm not conversational, I'd say, but uh I could get by. I could get by in ancient Rome, no problems. Um okay, here is another one. Um this fact is that the way to recognize the Buddha is to look out for webbed feet, a tongue which can reach his ears, and withdrawn genital ia. And look at you, Ethan Walker. This is now your fact. You know what? There's some things that you remember from these shows and I remember listening to the edit of this show. Okay. And I remember where I was I was skiing and I was for some reason I had to listen to an edit that day and I was on holiday and so I was on the ski slopes and I remember listening to this specific moment. What a lovely situational memory you've got there. I don't even remember which country it was. Yeah. But it would have been so cold you probably also would have had with Gordon Tailia at the time. see the Buddha's tooth in a temple. In candy, Sri Lanka. It's in candy. Well you would lose a tooth if you were , very nice. So where's candy? It's in Trilanka. I was thinking of the joke, so I missed the second bit of that. Doesn't matter. Yeah. cool. And it's presumably not his tooth, but claimed to be a relic. Well I've seen his tooth in I think Singapore or somewhere else. And a baby teeth. 64? Come on. I'm amazed we haven't got one in this room with us now Anyway, yes, Buddha. Good good to know. Keep alert. Um this one goes out to Holly Flanagan. Holly, this fact is that the whoopee cushion was invented by a Roman emperor called Basi anus. Also known as Basianus, also known as Elagabalus. Dan, this is one of I'd say this is the fact I've heard most from you over the years. Yeah, well it's your go-to. You'd love it. Well it's because it was one that I 'm pretty sure I I found myself. You know, sometimes we find facts that are written by others. I was reading an entry on Elagabalus on Wikipedia and I saw that his birth name was Bacianus, of course Bassian us. I just couldn't believe that this guy attributed it with it. And I remember running into you, James. We were in the Coven Garden offices and going, Can I can I say Basianus? What do you think? And you were like, Yeah. And was this the first time we ever deliberately mispronounced something for comic effects? I think this is patient zero for that. Really ? Alright, this one's from Michael Reeve folks, and your fact is now the oldest known purse is decorated with dog's teeth. Oh yeah. How many teeth do they have? Um dogs. Yeah. Buckets. Loads. Great. Canines. All of them are canines. All canines. There's the joke. I do feel a very nice satisfaction. Sometimes I feel like we might just make the same joke again that we made last time, ten years ago. But I feel like sometimes we'll find our way to a new joke. And I think I think James will have just done that there. Oh well that's lovely to hear. It's really nice. It's like we're getting a second chance to live our entire life. Yeah. Yeah. This is what Andy does if he goes to a comedy show. He sits on the front row and someone does a joke and he goes, It's actually really nice to hear a joke like that on a day like today. Um probably the structure of the joke is not something I've really heard before. I'm sorry for being an enthusiast. I'm trying to boost you guys up here. You could have just lolled. But I never lol. I won't do it. You go straight to Ruffle. I do . Okay . That fact was for Michael Reef es. This next fact now belongs to Amy Reefokes. Any relation? No rel ation. I assume some relation. We don't know. It could be a coincidence. Yeah, we've had some joint correspondence from Michael and Amy. Well, I would like to know because who's got the best fact ? So, Michael, your fact is about the oldest known purse being decorated with dog's teeth. And Amy Reef, folks, your fact is that according to a 2011 study, 27% of Britain's neither love nor hate marmite. Great. That's good. Great fact. I don't know which is my favourite those. They're both classics. Oh, that is good. Yeah. I think marmite. I can I encounter marmite more often than I encounter dog's teeth. I very rarely have dog's teeth on toaster for morning. Let's have one last fact. And this one goes out to John Gallagher, and it's that the knights of the round table, included Lancelot, Galahad, Gawain , and Gareth. Yeah. Sir Gareth. Gareth. Bold Sir Gareth. Again, I was reading I was reading uh a book of the Knights of the Round Table, and when I saw that name, I was like, what that was Gareth. Yeah. Who's this guy that no one ever talks about? Do you remember anything he got up to? I don't actually know. Twelve years go by, and apparently this Sir Gareth is nothing to you anymore. I'm a bit blank on this entire episode, I think. I've just found I've I've looked on archive. He he was King Arthur's nephew, and he was maybe on one of Oh no, he was on the main table, but there were lesser tables, much like at a wedding. That's that's what I was gonna say. That's my only memory is that there were other round tables and they were You gotta get you gotta get to the one with Lancelot. That's really funny. Alright. Well, look, that's enough of our facts. Thank you so much to all of our new custodians of facts. Just to remind you, that's John, Amy, Michael, Brackets No Relation, Holly, Ethan, Brad, Wayne, and Mary. Thank you so much to all of you. Thank you to all of you for listening. If you'd like to submit a fact to us, it's podcast at qi.com. That's our email address.
