On with this Week'S- show.

and welcome to another episode of no such thing as a fish, a weekly podcast, coming to you from the queue I offices in Coburn Garden. My name is Angie driver and I'm sitting here with additives and Ski Andrew Hunter, Murray and James hearken? And once again we have gathered round the microphones with our poor favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go starting with you chosen squeak knife. this week is that in China you can hire mistress to spell has to leave away. Your husband's mistress, yeah. What? If your husband doesn't have a mistress, do you have to hire a mistress hire a mistress. Du Spela has twice as much and it's almost futile. This was a piece in the new Yorker which they did on this new thing, which is becoming bigger and bigger, which of these companies that call themselves mistress

fellows and if your husband has a mistress that you know about, and I think people a lot of men in China are quite unsubtle about it. Then you go to one of these mistress dispelling services and you say: can you sort this out and they charge tens of thousands of dollars, but they do a really comprehensive service. They have like a psychotherapist, they have lawyers and it's a two pronged attack, so one psychotherapist goes to the mistress and lose her away. So, for instance, there was one case where our mistress was convinced by the therapist to get a job in a different city, yeah the the the ban from getting emotionally involved. Although there are stories of some male mistress dispelling who will start having an affair with the mistress yeah and that, because there are lots of different companies, they lost them do different. Things said there are some companies that say don't get involved, but then there are other companies that openly say our mistress dispelling our attractive men know that to seduce the mistresses what's so you guys probably know this? I'm surprised, I don't. What is the male mistress muster

mass, Missourians, well, mistresses, feminine version of the word master, that's atomic energy quicker than say. I think my wife's gotta master say you ve got a fence, humanity! Sorry, I said obviously there's no equivalent because we ve lived in a very sexy society for the last four thousand deal that honest funds about I know it may not the wording but other fancy. Man, disparities in China, as well as I've, been doing their own, because this is not such a commonplace thing. Isn't it true? I read somewhere that like actual family councillors and people are not really don't think this is a particularly good idea at all. Thus, I'm very roles. I read that it was the director of the Gwendolen Province, marriage and family councillors, Association, who says really these problems need to be solved between the husband and wife rather than spending tens of thousands of pounds You need to spend forty five thousand dollars to hiring someone to train.

if your mistress into leaving yeah it's funny, because if it's a traditional family, where the husband is earning the money and and sharing it with the wife, the wife then goes and spends the money on getting rid of the mistress. So it is his money circling around. Do you see what I mean the breadwinner, then the husband's own money that is being spent on getting rid of his mistress yeah? It's quite pleasing. Do you think he notices and says? Well, it's happened to all of the on Monday is I've. I place that's what I spent oldest poziom. I think that's probably the problem is that some of the case studies where they produce accounts from the wives and the reason they've done it. In some cases, I've said too much. Money is disappearing from the family. Account because these guys, with the mistresses, have gone too far in their spending way too much money on them and put to that by throwing, of dollars more you'll have lots of very happy. Marriages have extra we poor people,

I found another curious job. This is a website tester. So basically, What do people released? New websites have created and no way too complicated Some cases unusable not very friendly, so this is called this user is my mom and it skies mom, who is very bad at the internet tests out your website. and says out loud. I don't understand what is this doing. Has this late and he writes you were report and his mom this test what's interesting about this. Is it's a job where the more you do it? The worse you get at it yeah, but yes, you'd get more proficient on the internet, so you wouldn't be as stupid yeah, it's still going be replaced. Specie must be If you asked me secretly replace the above a light you might do Is there? Is a this isn't really a job? This is one bloke, but the James you- and I were talking about China's thing- is massive face. Recognition drive at the Mau Mau yeah and they're installing facial recognition technology everywhere,

until you need it now to get into your taxi app on your phone. All you need to get until your. You know digital wallet over stuff here, but there is a guide called he's: Guangyu hang and last year he beat and a facial recognition software machine he's. One of these super recognizes right and he played three rounds against the machine and it was a draw for the first routes and then he won the third one, but on the tv show he was on last year, he successfully identified a sing the glass of water for more than five hundred and twenty identical glasses of water? Oh, what yeah nah yeah and while the one thing here is, they can't have been identical. They were identical to you and I, but really Wang so want to be seen it. Seeing tat. I oughta didn't whether that was the only one which was examined well that one was half empty and all the others were helpful. Yeah. I went to a club the other week and they had facial recognition stuff. So you went with your id and they scanned

your id, and then they scanned your face and how to look the same. Otherwise they wouldn't let you in really but mine didn't look the same. my ideas from when I was about eighteen? I saw her, but they just let me go anyway. They must look about age. It was taken out, and I am sorry that guy is obviously This guy needs to rank those guys at a hard life yeah that was the same club. I tried to get into the weekend to meet you and they didn't let men though, but then I didn't bring any id. So that's probably couldn't scan it. Just brought a glass of water. Wait you guys hanging out on the weekend. Yeah wow we went to a pi, you guys were invited to think where we, I dunno just not Yeah I've been doing a of extra research because I've been free of the week

yeah I was reading about sort of the king's mistress which, in France, was an official position for centuries. You know, you'd get your own flats and you'd get an official title, and so Madame De Pompadour is an extremely famous mistress to Louis the fifteenth for twenty years. Despite the fact they didn't really sleep together. The cheap found other women for him to get about with, and then she would just talk to him but pent. Well, no more of a madam imagine madam yeah, but she is she's, Madame de pompadour yeah, but she used to be called Miss fish. She was called mom's El Paso before she was a Elevator was that her surname, you mean yeah yeah yeah, but when she met Louis the fourteenth, it was at a bowl in seventy forty five, where she was dressed as a shepherdess and he was dressed as a tree. So it is bringing us sheep underneath him to shelter from the rain on Sunday. I think that was so romantic her until

two thousand and six in America. If you wanted to get divorced, you could get the Faust in Guam by mail, so both of the people could write to glob and say we want to get divorced and they would just do it. I you need never of ever been to Guam. You could you do that, and that was illegal thing wow and then they change the law. So now you can still get divorced in Guam, but you need you have state that for eight days, no one does that anymore. Yeah Guam is really from everywhere. Yeah. Imagine how suspicious he'd be as the partner when they say have booked us a holiday to Guam, also ask work for eight days off yeah, so Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter which was advice to a friend on choosing a mistress? Have any of you read this bedside reading? very well is Andy, so this is a lesson to us I know been,

They didn't dispel the mistress. They spelled the husband only case they decided to change policy she's way better. That other guy, which is a fancy man. He still these prices, like fantasy I've, gotta duties, and what is the phrase was the word master. Accordingly, I was talking to a larger area Agnes, hitting a bit on the site. That's a squeeze. Squeeze sorry ever use anyway, even just as old as the saucy gentlemen andean. I, from the same set of course, speaking of centuries, so Ben Franklin in eighteen February, where this letter to a friend of his called CAD Waller Coltan, who heads had written it s to Ben Franklin, saying I really want to mistress and a mistress in those days. Wasn't someone who you are cheating on your wife, where there was just? If you didn't have a wife anyone you wanted to have sex with with your mistress

then why you got this? Was you wrote to budget Frank with? You is much less. Maybe is one was invoke. Its first piece of advice was chosen. Older women will be written or business frankly, she's. anyway. He wrote this desperate seventeen, forty five and it was actually genuinely quite good advice and, first of all, is that our shared visor get married. But if you would insist on not getting married for awhile first of all get married to an older woman because their small, so they live longer, they ve got but a chart and also he said, there's no how's it of children which irregularly produced may be attended with much inconvenience whistle he's talking. Quite an older woman, Wouldn T Postman Puzzle and he also says when they stopped being beautiful. They study to be good and other ways rises

I could have lived, but it sounds a little miss such initiatives are no it'll, be about James on the women here and I think he's trying the feminist money. But this is interesting. He says, don't worry about the appearance issue, because, even though in old aged some bits get wrinkly, it starts from the top down. So he said, The face first gets wrinkled than the neck and then the breasts and arms, but the lower parts continue to last as plump as ever, so that if you cover all above with a basket and regard only what is below the girdle. It is impossible to know an old woman from a young you're. Absolutely right. This is feminist, happy birthday, darling, get the get the basket ready to upgrade you to a deeper bass. Scared. Woodside off with you should see. My vote Boscovich she's all right. A teacher actually gotten trouble for using a quote from this letter in his classroom

This is his teacher. I go home and he had a picture in a classroom of a cat and he had the quote in the dock. All cats, a grey which may be, is adding something about don't judge my parents and actually Franklin set in this letter. Also, you don't need to worry about the appearance, because in the dock all council gray is in Now you turn the lights out, not an issue, and this teacher got suspended is quite an old well, was used by one of the Russians, Catherine, the great or Peter, the great or somebody always about in kind of era, it would have been a lot darker than as well right, because this is pretty electricity, so yeah, just when it gets dark. You've either got your candles or your so people even more were even more familiar with darkness, just like might as well not have even bothered yeah, I mean, what's the point of having Color. If your car out and days of cats colorblind anyway, now they are dying socks and although a great

after all, over there are those I sold as I'm. Do you know that the first ever divorce in America was due to bigger me I was guy called James, looks foot and he was find a hundred pounds on senses to an hour in the stocks, but they gave him an even worse punishment, which is worse. They could come up with that banished him to England. That is we're off. I guess if you're, an american big setback, drink of his birth and lobby

so back to your mom's house yeah. That is that's exactly what it is cause. They were all english they'd all come over for the new life like okay. We don't need you here, anymore, yeah, head off back to England. He went back to England and went didn't even like it there anyway, as rubbish too many wives, yeah. Ok, it is time to fact number two that is James. My fat this week is that Richard Nixon's chair was two point: five inches higher than everyone else's in the cabinet room hazing. So I read this in an article in the international business times on it's about how much money Donald Trump has spent of furnishings for the White House. So in four months he spent one hundred and thirty three thousand dollars, which is triple what Obama spent and but one of the things he bought was a conference table from a company called Kissinger and on Kissinger's website. It says that they got this

stuff, Richard Nixon, including a twenty four Chaz around the table, one of which was to put five inches higher than the rest. I was for him as just the back. I think I hear back of the chair. Isn't it wait? The back of the chosen is just the just the horizontal, but by those opposed to about, but surely, if that's all then you will look a bit shorter, relatively in your chair. I think the idea being that you have such a magnificent chair, five inches, that people give you a bit my kind of leeway, because life is like a throne. Isn't it big throne that the queen sits on. Presumably I don't she sat on a big throat. As much as she sits on one that bit like the game of Thrones Iron, throne, yeah la bit, less bony, but less made of swords I did opening of parliament and one of the reasons, because obviously they were

walking around with one that we're going to have the queen's speech. I think part of the reason that she was angry. They said it was going to be because she was going to miss Ascot and she loves seeing the horses, but also, I think it's because she normally practices wearing the crown for a week before the ceremonies. It's really heavy, it's extremely heavy yeah, and so I think she wasn't. She didn't know when to stop practicing. It's a little bit like the guys. with a website, though right she's been wearing the crown. So often now that surely she is used to it at this point. Surely her neck muscles that are permanent is the queen. She doesn't look like fried back to anyway, sorry chose. Can I just ask if, because Nixon ordered the kitten jet table, do you think he actually was looking for Kissinger and he just missed there is a big mistake is that we want you, guy in the post soviet Ass, Lord Kitchener, from the first World war in the other country,

the kitchen had very little to do with Richard Nixon, whereas Kissinger and Nixon were very strong partnership for a very long time yeah, but he did try and buy some furniture for his kitchen and accidentally got a poster. Yeah. Well sorry, justice I am I read. Does a book called believe that my forty years in politics by David Axelrod who's, the chief struts just fell back home? most presidential campaign- and he says the bombers show was slightly taller. He was president, It not the same check the same table still. I think I thought it was. Maybe it's not actually here then the Cabinet Office in Downing Street. The prime minister is the only one with arms on on. This has prompted a diplomatic role in the past.

in nineteen. Seventy, nine, the President of France, Valery Giscard D'Estaing, was visiting the UK and he was going to visit Thatcher in the cabinet room and his aide said. Yes, could you have a chair with equal status to the Prime Minister Place and they said what and they said well, it's very simple: either he wants one with arms or you have to put that one in the corner and Thatcher has to have one without arms and that you had the right to the british ambassador in Paris a lot. Can you sort this out? and he wrote back saying yeah that really serious about this thing, where we're actually still at war with them. Yeah the ambassador said his first reaction was to think that the obvious solution was to stand the Prime minister's chair in a corner and have her seated on the same sort of chair as the president. He thought the president will be very surprised if it was otherwise so that it is unfold it is not recorded how they solved it. But I think the obvious solution is to have one sit on the other's lap and then they switch around halfway through hey the other difference of cabinet chairs in the british cabinet. Room

that the Prime Minister's chairs the only chair, that's left on an angle so that its more accessible to the Prime Minister, they can just slip into its, whereas the others pull the chair out. Often given that checks out that's very interesting. just when they walk in all the positions of straight accepted, the Prime minister's, which is a slight angle, which allows easier access. Another important person in the world who has I checked it brings Georgia. I was gonna, say large sugar in the approach. yeah. He has a platform that his Chez, which about three inches higher so that he's the highest person in the room they found that out because they had a camera, shot behind him in one of the episodes wow and everyone kind of notice. That there's like a little platform that you sound really interesting. It's always people who are universally loved and respected to have the slightly higher interest rates and Alan Sugar, though cozy. If we talks about

Sarkozy went to it because he was obviously quite sure he went to do a speech in a factory and he had lots of factory the factory workers standing behind him when he made the speech- and he made sure to The twenty Schultz's factory workers, the sound behind him and then through the mouth to its inside. What? Why have you chosen to be in the picture- and I said: well, they check my highest and they said I was out of Courtly Smule to not make him look too short, Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, yeah. So, okay, I do have one wild fact about presidential chairs gone. There was a guy in the nineteenth century and his name was Seth Kinnaman right. He was a hunter. He claimed to have shot. Eight hundred grizzly bears in his life. Well, I'm sure he did I'm sure he did. He can afford it, but he made for a spell. Every single new president of the USA got a chair made by Seth Goodman and they were the creepiest chairs you've ever seen. One of them is made just from Elk, and

was strapped together. He once played for President Lincoln according to Wikipedia on a fiddle made from the skull of a mule. This is the kind of guy he was anyway. The chair he made for Andrew Johnson was made from two wild bears right. The legs of the chair, the forelegs, were all bare legs and when you touched a chord, the head of a grizzly bear would sniff out from under the feet and gnash it's teeth and then go back. That's amazing! He was not full that almost for Andrew Johnson, incredible yet see photos of it terrifying You wanted to make a really creepy chat, The chair that then has on built into it, where, if you sit in the hands of resting on your site that I just movie accused Creed

which, as a good creepy tech you're in the market, for it was a good idea cause. It's always creepy. When someone rest of the hand on your thigh, it's not always creepy. I find that when you become Prime Minister Radha, you can have one of those chairs in the british cabinet. Apparently there are let makes it has to be this. You know slightly armchair public and salute you want as long as you I have the same creepy chair for the president of front. Can I make a quick presidential chair correction? yeah many many many podcasts ago, probably about ten in I made a mistake. I said that underneath the chair of Barack Obama's oval office table was a trap door that should the president in an emergency need to get out of the room. He could open the trap door and slide down the slide, and it turns out that that's not true. I was fooled by websites. The White House

It's website, which turned out to be a website, called not the White House website a parody of the White House website and I failed failed to read the strap line and the noting. If this guy needs to replace his mum, he could quite easily yeah apologies study. What is use that fact, because I didn't edit it out at the show just having learned that so Richard Nixon's inaugural session? One thing he didn't want was Pigeon Pooh, all the way down the road where he was being inaugurated does know every other president has requested, but he was with he just didn't like it, and so he decided that what he would do is try and get rid of all the pigeons, and so they express something called roost, no more, which is a better balance on all the trees near by and the idea was it would make the pigeons feet ban and they would fly off, but unfortunately it contained a chemical that killed them and so as human

in Bulgaria. Did they went down the road, though just dead pigeons? I think, may Incredible and it's not a good start. As the omens or is it like when you get paid on by a borrowed? So that's actually a really good sign. What's a dead birds holding all over, you show that it is advisable said for that's. The thing I guess being put on by birds is supposed to be. Good. Luck is little salaries got rid of all the good luck and got pigeon corpses global, plus a double dabble, but no wonder things played out as they do so Nixon very, very clumsy. I haven't quite realised the plethora of hilarious stories about in so he used always metals award ceremony. So any military award ceremony is trying to meddle in some need drop it to the extent that dead rhetoric, the scattered all over

one of his military aides said that he had to take the pins off the back of medals and replace them with clip on devices, because if he didn't drop the metal, he then stomped the military person in the chest with it, and he once picked up a lobster as part of like a pr thing. He was visiting a fish farm and he picked up a lobster and clawed onto his suit lapel and wouldn't let go from him. We spill the inquired downing street? He always spilled sleep on himself, and so he said the horses had to be eliminated from the day right side is so funny. It's really go in middle kingdom, Egypt, it was symbol of status to have a folding stool wow stools were popular and folding stools with I called to get hold of them. They were expensive. So if you weren't quite posh as a pharaoh, but you were pretty posh, you would have a folding stool. I didn't even No, they were invented as far back as I know it preview a rich enough on beaches

days during holidays, a beach holiday night yeah, it's a constant, the okay. It is time for fact, number three, and that is Andy fact, is that there is a special police unit in France whose job is to monitor six million dead people and they are called the cattle cops. Yeah. So these are the guys who look after the catacombs in Paris and the catacombs this massive thing, I'd heard of them before I didn't realize how big they were. They two hundred miles of tunnels

is the thirty two square kilometers in area, so they still haven't all been explored. It's ten times the area of central Park in New York. It's absolutely massive and the cat cops are the people who walk around underground, trying to find people who are trespassing- and you know, people who are mistreating the catacombs so they're not actually policing that dead themselves and checking they don't cause trouble know that there are although if they do cause trouble, I'm sure they'll be first on the scene exactly yeah, although there are already five people in the catacombs these days, I've read that called cat flicks in french people who go down to the cops or the cops. Oh that's good, because everyone is called cat or something there are catholic clasts. These are people who mistreat the cat

the claims that people who leave rubbish and they spray paint over older works of art and the very bad people. There are cattle files as well people who love the catacombs, a new treat them well and then, if, if you're a cat, a fuck gotta feel and you bump into a catechol, he might well let you go shortly- the catholic class. Then you claim your account file if that Catholic CUP comes along But if you, if you there's letter behind you or your door being stuff on a wall, though you'll carrying Sprague Paint, Canada is the erratic last night. You know now, because I actually took them off. The cats are classed as I saw. They were doing something wrong, so I ve got the council, then no mind. I have been using them now well under way. Thank you and then you point, and you say he went not why hundred miles that way, and also there's cattle, chicks, apparently You are a subculture who walk around the tunnels in bikinis, hireling. Is there pull down there's a lot of flooded, catacomb area. In fact, in that case, yes, I think it was last year

maybe the year before a surfer called Alison. Teal went surfing inside a Catholic whom you can watch the pretty extraordinary. She says surfing and all the media said surfing she's laying on the surfboard in her bikini she's in a bikini and she goes through it. But It's an amazing video because she goes into these tunnels, which are super tight like it's just her in the surfboard can fit through and there's moments where people who ve down there, obviously having fun with all the bones down there than arranging them into a chair. So you can see her sit in a bone share is an extraordinary like incredible. Is that Germany, by South Kidman the nineteenth century, Grizzly bear they are incredible, though he's gotta caves and when the first ever cattle cop chief retired is never jumpsuits are rightly did twenty years in the tunnels. The cattle files organised a massive feast for him and he turned up, and he said I tried for years to catch you, but now I'm retiring. If you want

You can take pictures with me and they all have their picture. Taken with a picture of a party I gotta say, cats are cops, sounds like quite a cool eighties cartoon it does. TAT the up there, the catacombs are, they also cops. Oh yeah no way leased lines out that a Catholic has it, and it's in the title of every element of this building was about the eighties yeah. That's a think about titles of girls who, in this area that led the cats cats and I like thunder, danger mouse us they get. You didn't have to watch. You can't even look at it. I don't you know it. You got worse, pepper PIG what's that about yeah, so the council files are incredible on a. I really would recommend looking them up. This is one of those facts I was so glad you chose. I had no idea they existed and they sort of invented themselves in about nineteen. easy and the idea is that kind of urban explorers body

go around restoring parts of Paris, going without being restored with the governments has the funds to restore them all. They think need restoring and the count of files of the people who do so in the consequence, and so, for instance, a few years ago, the cops just came across underground in some of the count Kim's that you're not allowed to access a Cinema complete would like a bar and a restaurant. This is all underneath the Trocadero, the an area of, and it had had seats to watch films and it had this whole collection of films. They'd. Why? Then at least three phone lines they had their own electricity system and though people hanging out down there watching films in a big cinema screen, and so they found this and they were like will wow. This is amazing. We found this whole cinema system who the hell as this and the police came back three days later and all the electric been in off and there was just a

that read. Do not try to find us friend. Can you find what films they watched, because I have been trying to find out alright yeah? I I actually saw the name of one of the film's very art house. Sorta cause I was hoping they were washing it out. Terminator or do you mean, like lovely bones, custom that'd it bone related. Oh yeah, yeah. Oh, you could have a great time watching zombie films down there, yeah Mummy. Surely yes, they've all got their own catacomb name as well. Everyone has a nom de plume or NOM de catacomb down there and not meant to me to ask about anyone above surface life. You didn't say so. What do you do because the answer is I walk around the catacombs yeah I see yeah right. You know they also found in the cinema by the way they discovered that there was a cctv monitor in order

to see who is coming so they can review the tapes. I guess if they could see if it was cops or anything and along with the cctv they had a bit of sound equipment. So there's any one past a certain point: it triggered a dog barking too air them off from going further down the tunnel. While, yes, it was like that was their security system to stop the cinema from outlook. I work for the mccartin. Cop cartoon cat is about their very dangerous these catacombs. You are not a cat, a file and if you decide to give exploring off the beaten path as it were, because these are generous and their accounts of people who ve heard of stash is of wine and they set em, just gonna go down and look for a stash vine and never seen again the main you're in France as wine everyone. Finally, I can get some of this message you. Why are you so very recently two boys disappeared for three days they were found. They got put into hospital that had hypothermia and they were only found because they'd been leaving clues along the way, but they, the cats,

cops I guess sent in search dogs in order to find them and they managed to to find them. But I kept thinking that that's you could imagine, being a dog going down to a place with all those bones yeah. This is the thing. Do you know why the bones are down there in the first place, because they weren't originally there. So the bones were put underground because all the cemeteries were running out of space in the city above ground and it was horrible. So there's a very famous cemetery in Paris called La Innocent, the innocence and it was giving off a strong smell of decomposing flesh in the late eighteenth century and supposedly even perfume shops were claiming. couldn't do business because of the surely they're of one people actually get the use of business.

So between the two anyway, in seventeen AC, a wall collapsed at Les innocent and rotting corpses fell into a nearby house. At that point, people said. Maybe we should move these millions and billions of cubs, so they are over a period of years and years. They moved all these six million bodies from the city cemeteries into the catacombs. What it was as they'd had Will these tunnels because it was where they mined for limestone? Originally, they would get limestone from it near the ground level, but actually that was kind of spoiling the topsoil. So you can make any agriculture there or anything like that, so they had to go deep, deep down to get their rocks. This is amazing and once they made they got rid of all the rock and the catechumens existed, but completely abandoned.

As they were being used for anything people started farming there, so mushrooms were grown in these catacombs and all the farm has got kicked out, because I wanted to throw the bones in their new young and still today in bits of catacomb that are not occupied by Baron. Are growing mushrooms. No, I gotta say as someone who scared of mushrooms like I have a real phobia. I think I could live with the bone. here's the other thing about the catacombs is they are the reason that Paris has maintained not having high in the city, because they system

They would collapse this the ground underneath them and are not stable enough in order to allow for high rise buildings, and it was Louis, the sixteenth he founded the organization of the Ijc, the inspection general to carrier, which does all the maintenance and mapping and he was forced to found it because in seventeen, seventy four three hundred meters of street just collapsed into a twenty meter deep how much it was. Obviously the limestone is eroded or is eaten away by rain or whatever it might be. Anthony Pye three hundred metres of a street, I must say, sounds almost fund today treat the then kind of turns into a about what would be sounds like it could. Are you Talkin about We salute the has a massive phobia: doesnt live in a cemetery until the other. it's alright yeah! It's all logical! If you do live in a cemetery to be afraid of falling into the ground Have you seen all these other people who've done it?

My sister who lives in a cemetery grows her own vegetables and my other sister doesn't. Leave in the cemetery refuses to eat them because that she thinks they ve got that labour rights. The something about that connection you eat. You eat crops grown with the excrement as fertilizer. While he does it yeah. It's not bizarre that will constantly eating food that is grown using cow, poo poo, oh Pooh just pay any kind of pig works, but does the check that is weird. Isn't it well over it gets made if you're right. I agree. I agree with you. People always say they look at like the way the animals are killed and say. Maybe if you knew how your animals were killed, you would all go vegetarian, but maybe if you knew that there was poo smeared, all the

We have vegetables, you don't eat meat, okay, it is time for our final fact that the Show- and that is my fact my fact this week- is that the number one place buy cds in Indonesia. Now is KFC the fast food restaurant. They should call it. Kfc D Then there is a such an amazing. Back Certain area can see day will be the Kentucky Fried Chicken for I've got back the calves. Easy his way of so in he's now in KFC, when you go to buy your chicken, you are offered a bundle deal in which you can also purchase a CD They sell over five hundred thousand albums a month in the cave, sees all over.

the nature, and this was set up by a very well respected, wellknown producer of bans like the killers. Predominantly you too he's done. The majority of their biggest albums outside of bringing a and He realized over their credit cards and streaming. Isn't the massive things that people are still buying the physical objects seed, these get sold for four dollars and there's a lot of black market cds that go on. He thought no one goes out to buy things anymore physically, but they do go out to buy chicken. So what if I combined chicken and cds together and started there and it's absolutely worked so he releases The moment predominantly indonesian artists, but they're, looking bringing in the western. U Youtube

new album coming out with a family bucket yeah, his name's Steve Lillywhite. By the way, the producer of all these albums he's done the rolling stones as well. I mean he's he's ginormous interview to the New York Times interviewed him, and he said my job is basically like running a record label. Except this record label also happens to sell chicken is not fully adjusted to the new reality. Very much sounds like a man who used to be a record label. Guy then fell on hard times got a job. KFC yeah, then someone from the New York Times came along and said: aren't you that guy who used to produce Youtube and he's like yeah yeah? I still do that kind of stuff, but incredibly, that's not the case. While he gave this interview to the New York Times, he was busy mixing or playing the latest Youtube single. That he'd just made in the background like this. The guy like jumping between producing pop hits and selling.

If he sells in camps in Indonesia is not an english language, is it so it's all indonesian, music diamond, and he says that he thinks ninety eight percent of the music sales come from people who just went to buy chicken and turn up there. We'll have a cd to impulse by we make science but was apparently is not a sorry bound for cities else. So Japan is somewhere where cds is still a huge thing, so I think globally, thirty nine percent of music cells come from sea days of this is true. Last year we have a full, whereas in Japan it seventy five percent and piracy isn't necessarily a bad thing, because, apparently, when people piracy They copied them onto other cds and that gets people used to just physically having CD. I think people are all used to physically having cds. Now, I think, that's the argument of a pirate in the dog that wasn't really actually spread. The sale of cds just happened to me

Blank ones by the spine ripping off the Japan thing is bizarre, though the CD thing so cds in Japan cost about twenty five pounds on each one. There's no way that cheap. What's Kosovo the bonus tracks, Japan, famously either the Great Committee new ones? dead where all the bonus tracks live every japanese city, which is why their often imported other countries around the world is they may be for songs. turn appear on a CD released in the west,

If Coldplay releases, an album there, most likely there'll be four bonus tracks which are the besides or something that they would use later. The football completely indistinguishable disappointed you baby got to the end of what you thought was it called for help of another performer and the first massive selling cd was dire. Straits was an album called brothers in arms and it was the first one to sell a million cds was absolutely huge, and since then, I think it sold about something crazy, like fifteen or thirty million copies, but they were the band who were chosen for the big push of the CD, because the guys who made it for Phillips said that mainstream enough, we can't push punk we compost something as nature and also maybe they didn't want? Something really poppy is outright. They want to some, I guess yeah. So it was a bit. They were the ones who will almost chosen for that massive promotional push. Interesting came the first

pleasant to have a cd release in America was priest. Springsteen born in the USA was me, but Amber was the first. band to be imprinted onto a cd, so that was always the big one. Ugh when you say that kind think it almost feels that probably with someone else does net yeah me up a kind of depends, though, because It's launching a new medium, so I guess like Jay doing title, you know he he signed up so title is its own.

when a five hundred Leland is looking at my completely blank afraid of otherwise daisy and titled? Title is like it's own Itunes, it's own Spotify, it's an exclusive streaming and downloading place. You can only listen to Jc, but you can only listen to like a betamax, but all the tapes suggest exactly when you put it like us. I'd be on site, released her lemonade, album on there and as a result, it didn't make it to the top of the charts. The first time that's ever happened to be say in her solo career because it was a new medium and not enough. People were signed up right time, but yeah. So you need a biggie in order to push the medium yeah just in Japan, and on Japan, CDS, he was and they come with extras. So as well as bonus tracks, they come with other extra things as well, so now they're keeping the cd market live in Japan, buying giving way prizes with cities. Are you get raffle? Tickets was cities you get these prizes. You get from. We bucket level too Is a terrible price because, basically not a prize,

It's a piece of advice. It's almost always not a very nice bottle of wine or a box of matchmakers yeah. Exactly you can get. Sometimes you, if you're the first you know thousand people to buy a cd. You get the handshake thing, which is why you get to meet the band of the CD evil and shake the hands incredible yeah exactly get to Japan Andy. But this is a cool thing, so there's abandoned Japan. I think we might have talked about before called a k B forty eight year, the man with loads of members and they hold bound elections via cd purchases, so the way they have people to buy their cds is, if you buy cd by these guys, then it was about, paper in size, and you can write on that ballot paper, which member of the band is your favorite, and then it's announced who's, the favorite, so that gets people to buy it Pretty harsh not banned uber? At least there are fifty members as a

the band like the rolling stones, or there are five of the hell, a rolling stone. Every time she has a date yeah and every year, Dave's, like sorry, Chez yeah. Well, there was is not the end of the world. If you lose because the go that came forty, eight, so the girl that came bottom in the fight one year the following year. I think this is last year or the year before one fan spent two hundred and forty thousand pounds filling up as many cds. Is says they possibly could in order to send all the votes and there's no limit to how many times you can vote. So what I would say is if you want to buy two hundred and fifty thousand copies of our new book, that comes out little ballot paper inside saying who's, your favorite member of the whole rarely dog, I think, for you or me, we should yeah. Why don't you just photocopy the bit of paper

that's a lot of that is going to be a bar code on there isn't some listener. Independent is like fuck yeah, with a massive counterfeit cds eating their dinner of people, keep releasing cds in Sims language by the way. What what does that mean? I never played on the sims It sounds like you, you haven't. You said the Earl of everyone who has played this. I've never played on the size and the late on the Serbs are here. I have played on the sims. I just didn't ever talk about it, and so now, apparently, so is actually did here with music brand partnerships for this Similar is the language they speak in the Sims and Katy Perry is recorded a song on an album called teenage dream.

Besides I'm without all this was that of mother side, nor with Colombia lonely hearts? What are the best selling albums of this decade AIDS signs in any one of us all. That's how the seamless version so who's the bigger Casey Parry. Well. These bands keep releasing elms and similar, so okay go Depeche Mode, Rita, Ora Lily. Allan COE. They will release similar songs, and so they just redo the language yet better or is there an album wakened by all the similar songs You know like what I call similar shook, one of the guys who develops the CD for Phillips when it was first introduced. He was so excited about the new technologies that I decide, it to get rid of all my vinyl albums and get my old rolling stones and Beatles records on CD? It still hurts because he just feels like a complete idiot, that he did, that they got rid of all these fantastic original roles.

extends the Beatles records and you just have them on CD, though he was married to the cause, though you could have throw yourself in with both all five of the calls. He was married, taste man, even if even a gym. That is big of me. You should go with his dogs for like five hours for that, dates, doesn't really happy, and I did it. Chaz Dave joke at the World prevailing physique, deepest secrets about you know J zeal playing on the service in Indonesia? There's a big trend for music related to bus, HANS, Okay- and this is like a little mean that starts on the internet on its they videoed, these kids holding signs up reading all Mattel.

You say that in this entire devoid Anna told you my Casey fairy, so we ve all got blind spots is because Andy's downloaded their albums already enjoy much matter where the other one. I got some k of sea stuff. Finally we're getting to the nub. This fact. So in the pan. They have a carefully with a high and whisky bar, cool, well she's, pretty good in Russia.

They have enough on what it was is there was a little kid going to school and he was eating KFC or something in the teacher got annoyed, and so the teacher got the buck hat and put it on this kid's head and he has to walk. Let's go with a bucket on his head and it started hasn't been aging quite prematurely yeah, and it was just a meme in Russia like the bucket hat meme. I don't think we've So this was this year. Kfc have released a novel for the first time. What is novel starring, the colonel and it's mills and boon style romance and is called tender wings of desire he's a sexy man. It's what we ascertained before. We started what it this forecast that you quite fancy the next so yeah?
