Hi. Everybody welcome to episode sixty of no such thing as a fish, just a quick announcement before we begin my my found in work this and as a result, it has infected the entire. Therefore working microphones. So So does sound good, but as soon as I start talking, it's terrible, no change that yet. So

look at the hello and welcome to another episode of no such thing as a fish, a weekly podcast coming to you from the QR offices in cover and guarded. My name is Dan Schreiber, I'm sitting here with James Harkin, images in sky, Andy Murray, and we have a special guest. Today, it's the founder creator of Q, I it's Commander John Lloyd, and once again we have gathered around our microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go. Starting with you, James Harkin, ok, my fight this week is that the final Mcdonald's bugger ever sold in Iceland can currently be watched decomposing on a webcam is that, in accordance with the statement that might have been made last week, I don't know you

The focus was on yes last week. I may well have said that Iceland has the most expensive Mcdonald's burgers, but there has been no Mcdonald's in Iceland since two thousand and nine a fact that everyone has been very willing to point out that doesn't explain why they're so expensive, because of scarcity value, so no mall, Mcdonald's in Iceland and the last one they kept put it in a museum, and now it's in a hostel under a webcam how's it looking ice. Looking fine because burgers tend to not become was very much I yeah. So I read that because there's some father who's got really outraged, didn't he he put one of his kids, Mcdonald's, burgers in a jar or something and filmed over the course of weeks and weeks and months of nonsense that isn't, as that. Does this hasn't rotted at all medicinal, as I think ended up? I seen having to be the first franchise ever to protest. Often does small, please believe us, but the other

in raw, and it was like, if, if it doesn't have access to the fluids that allow the bacteria to thrive, then they just go on for years. If you keep it dry and you keep no animals near it all bacteria in there or whatever then it'll be fun. I like the fact that it's on a webcam as well twenty four hours a day yeah it's good to know that webcams, we can actually watch paint dry. Have you seen that painting less one payment, Paling website and there's a grass growing website, one weakens or you could see a Chad, a cheese mature? it was on for a year now having this cheese takes to mature on the cheap was known as Wijnaldum got used to get Valentine's cards from America and assigned rugby ball from the British Rugby team. The cheese is yet a million fans. Today They read mature and think it was some other kind of online thing.

breakfast really, and he said that when they launched their I'm loving it, which is slogan I loving campaign they had thirty thousand Party it's all over the world simultaneously, the world record for number of simultaneous nailed parties because they got thirty. Four thousand restaurants, as they call them in the workforce, is wrong. rolls dismal yeah. What would you call them? Join Can I look up? I look tops. here, they are number one. Look at all the Login Roswell New Mexico is the only one in the well shaped like a you. If they actually just think about you, have those look a bit light burgers anyway. Other day proposes an accident and there's a ski through Mcdonalds.

Sweden in Lynn violence is: is there a hundred yards between the order microphone? Other that way, you pick it up. So you ve been trying to prepare. It rises, Did you also see about the the world's most expensive burger, which I think came out this month is called the Glen Berger and it's available at Honky, Tonk restaurant Chelsea, is in the burger canadian Lobster: New Zealand, Venison Kobe beef broth for black truffled brie, champagne, iranian saffron, himalayan salt, beluga, caviar and hickory smoked, duck egg covered edible gold leaf The bomb is also covered in gold leaf and it costs one thousand. One hundred pounds is out with price rise or extra one thousand one hundred and two, and I do not have any real. Ok, so you say to buy expensive burgers. I read an article say that Birgus couldn't have existed a hundred years ago.

I love this theory the hour you say yes, and so it some apparently they didn't really exist, but that, but the thing is you: if you have tomatoes, they have to be made at a certain time of year in a certain place on the planet. The same with beef has to be. You know you in the olden days you would kill their color assassins Haim and the bread would have to be found at a certain time. The wheat would have to be, and so it would be possible until we have Adam farming techniques, to actually have a burger way. You could have had some both inside you just couldn't mass produced them or you couldn't have. Maybe you'd have to take the cow to the wheat field. Yeah killings, They re not saying that you couldn't get beef on bread at the same time of year it but, for instance, add tomatoes would only come through in the summer and so you'd have to take those in the summer if he wants its aftermath

when you buy a car and gherkins hadn't been invented. Yet the three include the Ben. I've never really understood, as it doesn't We demand that you ve been to become somebody's with. My not necessarily include two martyrs Cosmogony estimate is by and large saturated trees burglars. You know what you learn. Other stuff had no idea. This place existed Berger university Donald TUSK, hamburger universities in humbug. No, it's a Harvard. Sorry is no inhabitants, consider to be the Harvard in the Grove, Village Illinois. Everyone says it's the Harvard of the fast food universities. There are many other issues that they have by now: in students. They have twelve interactive educational teams that have in house professors Ray Kroc taught there. The original Mcdonald's genus like a Harvard of

Harvard Joseph does Harvard Universe. Doing I've Harvard University ever calls itself the Elk Grave Illinois Hamburger of the academic. But you know what is the heart of the lock making world no price. Is it yeah, so this is a quote from before two thousand and twelve. This is. I saw this on NPR before two thousand and twelve pizza hut was. The USA is biggest buyer of kale that they did not serve. any of it? They used it as a decoration in the salad bowls. They now MVR check us out and they they said they never heard back from pizza, so they didn't try to fact check it, but they haven't haven't called it cast iron, that's about as it is quite uncertain, and that was before Kale yeah yeah it's taken off now. Isn't it yeah really

the queen, technically owns Mcdonald's, she works and it doesn't channel toilet she studied at that university. I see, and she basically, the crown estate bought up a big shopping center effectively and she's. The landlord of it now and Mcdonald's has a drive merrimac though those are such as landlord. she's, a merely shoppy Central Asia. Is the M visible from wins a castle and Well, maybe debts and slap yeah yeah. I live out large visible from winds. The council ought to be do you know the great wall of China is visible? Yeah? No, I think that's been debunked yet yeah, so she also owns a Bmg superstore, some branches of Comet J, J B sports. motherfucker issue like at one of those hands on owners I gotta do you know she just always in their inspecting the star to turn up the most the rent.

Such a sign for fact, number two, and that is John Lloyd. My fact that I offer you elves is that in aiding fifty one Prince Albert commissioned Boy Room, Balmoral Castle, made entirely of corrugated iron. Now, you think of corrugated iron as being like a really cheesy, cheap materialism. You know garden sheds and shacks in Australia, but from the time that it was invented in eighty, twenty nine. It was an app The amazing one of the material it's cheap as light is fireproof John Proof Biodegradable and asked quite resistance. And it can survive. Monsoons heavy snow loads, immense heat, calibrate, barracks by unskilled labour really is

Amazing, I actually went and bought a book on Goregaon and massive is about the size of a corrugated iron Sheik fascinated by these days. Most corrugated iron is not iron. Nah, that's it colorless, aluminium, zinc and steel yeah, since the eighties nineties as be that language has not caught up So I didn't know I infer a lot longer than it was. I am yeah, but oh yeah, you know where the word comes from the lead car gave its latin for a wrinkle yeah. That's wayside testicles regos. the supposedly read that as a theory- and it's not it's very, very hard to prove, but there's a theory that more people have been sheltered by corrugated iron in the twentieth century than by any other material. in the world incredible houses. To this day,

so amazing, it's yeah. It's amazing Jones, pointing out I just the first thing about Korea. This is what I found about corrugated on his never thought about it in my whole life before, but then Suddenly, you think this is a really really important thing: cuz in the not invented by Captain Peter Canadian mining engineers serving the royal engineers in Britain. He invented this thing again. You just need this it because, as I said, it bends in one direction perfectly and it's perfectly rigid in the other, so they built one hundred thousand missing hearts in the First World WAR House two and a half million in and around the trenches. In the second Boer WAR in New Zealand, they came up with a thing called a Bob Semple tank, which was, and it wasn't invented by Bob Semple, but it was his idea. I think he was a politician or something and the idea is they would take.

tractor and put corrugated I and a round it and turn it into a tank. Unfortunately, due to functional failures, tractor gear problems, public ridicule and impractical colloquy, they tanks were rejected. So they didn't work and everyone thought they were stupid. Another reason the corrugated is so strong as if you spit like, if you the pizza slice and you just hold the end of the pizza and it kind of flops over. But if you bend it into like a u shape, then it kind of stay, stiff and thats the maps behind it, and it was first discovered by Carl Friedrich Gauss and he named it the theory, my a great gm, which was latin for the excellent therapy. He thought it was one of the best thing I mean he was one the great

incisions, but he felt this was one of the best things that you have a cable. It is his. Unlike my there isn't a yeah you like the excellent theater and wait till you hit the outset that the milky way is supposedly corrugated. It's like a desk of matter and stars, but it has riches in it. Whoa that's great corrugated YE drink.

Well, it might be like because, obviously in nature, just if you think about the hexagons in a in a bee's nest, then they they come because they're so strong, so simple, maybe it is maybe it was always or anything else. That's natural outside of the milky way less cargo. Yes, hundreds of links am so woodpeckers. They have this cartilage in between the beak and the rest of their skull, because obviously they had a tree at fifty miles an hour every time and they had this. Counseling is corrugated and it absorbs the shock of the impact and it stops them from killing themselves. Every time they hit a tree that corrugation someone has used together to develop a safer bike helmet by using a layer of correlation inside to absolve impact is really go. can that about more from the actual bull Meanwhile, more allows the largest room in the council as the only one that open to the public

the prince, but because Prince Albert bought Balmoral with his own money like all the other rural residences, is actually private property. Actually owned by the role family, whereas all the other ones round by the crown which will the the lead Who personage, which you know, manages the things they can deal with it as they wish to pervert Donald, Let me, then, also in the Balmoral Ballroom the council room, is it's called and every year they hold a Gillies bowl because there's a fifty thousand acres of Balmoral separate quite a few guineas. I think it's one hundred and fifty staff full time. I thought time and holding a Gillies ball placement. This is my father's favorite joke that used to says repeat this joke a lot, which is awesome, He sent me is in America. They have these people go the misses the moose, the order of the moose yeah in Canada,

I, which is a kind of might like the masons and then this my my father used to say am he's trying to get to sleep in this item is a terrible racket from downstairs and he brings up. Manager, he says, would you please keep the noise down the managers, his, but sir, they are holding a moose's ball and the well for God's sake, tell him to let it go he, never tired of newly always reading over Christmas, some a book by those biography on Bobby Williams and Robin Williams is mother used to read, said Lord William ceased to read them this book, which she said was her favorite book, which was supposedly written by Nineteenth century English. Society be hostess and it was called upheld. That's very good. It was a guide to held

you get written in eighteen. Eighty, I think which has various goods advice for attending a bull. So like a gentleman without proper introduction asked, lady, who he's not acquainted with to dance. She should positively refuse things like that, but I like the fact that jury. A bull in a ballroom. No lady should be left on attended with It is vital that may be removed and destroyed. Ok, it's I prefer number three just then speak my mind during the Nineteenth century Sadler's wells, Theatre in London was routinely flooded to stage fake naval battles. It's really cool is that people aren't familiar with that as well. It's like these days it's more of a ballet dancing Fisher, but it's had about five or six iterations. I think over the past few hundred years,

and yet at the turn of the said between about eighteen hundred and eighteen twenties, this guy decided that in celebration of Britain's naval prowess that he would fill it. with gallons and gallons of water stage naval vessels, and they a huge amount of trouble for it so they employed. It was an eighteen o, four that this this was begun. and it was the brainchild of someone called Charles dividend. Junior. And he employed all these ship rights and rigour as to exactly replicate the ships that have been used in the british Navy. The scale was one inch per foot, so they weren't the actual size of ships and the wise that wouldn't fitted in fishing, and yet it was filled with eight thousand cubic feet of as it was announced. The newspaper encapsulate is real water, not just fake Rosa. One hundred and seventeen model ships.

and they employed little children. So they they put our adverts awesome for children who are able to swim so that during performances they could have when they were staging all these fake naval battles, they could have kids who swim in the water, the outer be rescued by the actors, and it was columns. is the end of performances for the audience to jump into the water at the end to flood forward as it were, and jump in and start swimming in. It sounds great that sounds nice. Reason. You know why. The reason for these battles that, but between licensing ACT of seventeen, thirty seven and the theaters activating forty three. For one hundred years, only two theaters in the country were allowed to do theater with dialogue that It is wrong wanting Covent Garden monetary line. Everyone else could do music, but they couldn't have speech as well So what happened was that they basically became dependent on stuff that didn't involve any sort of proper acting, so they had to have spectacles of various kinds and unseen battles with just one of the main things, but in seventeen eighty, forty five, the the top of the

bill at Sadler's. Wells were a play by Scaglione, his troop of thespian dogs, starring the mustache, the canine matinee idol of his day. Apparently, two horses dancing, a minuet of singing dog and a piglet could tell the time the children's game was the time Mister PIG. So there was this and hence clowning and the secret of dancing and song, but you couldn't have proper theatre for over one hundred years was reading a grimaldi. The the original crown piece perform their lots and Judy. He made his first appearance there. Did he age, three as a dancer and an Easter entertainment and his last in eighteen, twenty eight says to do with his whole life. He was a. He was a big fan of silence. and I just want to mention this thing them one of the highlights, Grimaldi's career was- seven. He has wells,

so much hilarity that a death, the dumb man in the audience recovered his last face and cried out what a damned funny fellow yeah, yeah, just brilliant. I don't sound like us, worldwide, Durham Brown, but I did not go with applause. It is applying all the time. So I read that this this jumper there was an actual number of, as he said he spectacles, which specifically involved naval seeds and it was called aqua drama. The basic economic model of one of the show the settlers wheels was cool, was called

Philip and his dog or where's the child? The climax of that show was a dog actor jumping into the water and saving a child from drowning. Oh yeah, they had these huge dog celebrities sort of a well trained dog I know you did they have actors on the boats to the stand on the ship he ever big enough to do. Yes, they did and there's one quite funny, article which points out that everyone so involved in the show and so captivating that no one noticed is the problem with the spectre of whereby the boats are about attempt the size of the thought, but the people at the Seattle people sized. I was going to say cause if you had. I think they had one hundred and seventeen many ships on the state floor yeah, I would say at once they kind of thin, but then I think why would you of the ward soda once wasn't, there was the biggest number. So these are called now Macchia and sea battles and they date right back to classical times, but the largest one we had in that era was in eighteen. Fourteen- and I came across this by

and it was all a new newspapers reporting on that day in eighteen, fourteen and It was in Hyde Park on the serpentine like and it was to follow. It was to celebrate the peace and stability on the walls, so the peace treaty with- napoleon and the end of that fighting and the way that privatisation huge naval vessel. When you say that the whole metropolis seemed depopulated. Everyone was entered in the parks and the whole of London flocked to Hyde Park and watched this huge naval battle on the on the serpentine. All we have to move on. I've just got one last thing to mention before we do, which is it's a bit of a it's a it's a bit of a famous rock myth, which I think is really interesting. You know that great rock minutes about the idea of Van Halen. saying that if they had brand eminence incites there, so they would have the right that you, this was in the right or the idea was that they said this is what we want in the green room, but we don't want any brand eminence I hold the nautilus. True though they did that it is true that they did that bus

The idea is that they they would come back and one time David, Lee Roth found found Eminem's and he got furious and he trashed the whole room and that's what became very The famous rock MR and I say miss the misfit is the facts about why he got angry. He wasn't angry because they were Brown M and M's because he hates them. He was angry because they were tiny thing in a very big contract that he sent over, because the Van Halen Show was such a spectacle. It was such a massive event that most venues in America couldn't accommodate the kind of show that they were going to do, and so he would put in precise detail. This has to be like this. Otherwise people may die stages could collapse us up and he found brown eminence inside that all he knew that they had read the contract for the interest. They are because they have one reading that the contract was me, read properly

All the other reading is that the person who is in charge of setting up the steps of the collapse and kill people is an also on evidence. Scouting do that's that's one of the Great Rock star he's minutes. It's interesting that there was actually a guy concerned would help in safety behind pudding, Finally malign if that is the case divers items to me, this great story about Python the python when they were for the first, I two and they went to America. I think they were having a storm out I've tour and they went to this whole, tell and manage said general as soon you enter the trash. The hotel room then go right ahead because they loved it. You know because having the interest, massive publicity and of all insured anyway, but you got the papers and so the Python Spengler.

Be polite and producer known as is quite necessary. Then it's trash and they were very happy. No police or police trash trash. The rooms are like. Let me try with a you know like to start with this chair and all that stuff, so eventually, after that not want to do this, Michael Palin kindly went into the bathroom and broke a toothbrush in the ok time for our final facts, and that is Andrew Hunter Murray. My fact is that the practice of dog is pretending that they haven't seen. That kind of crap is technically known as strategic. No knowledge that is conducted by somebody's, genuinely called doctor gross is all grasp as Matthew gross. he's a german says. The algae professor he spent ten years following talk out is around at all different times of day, observing them

so he eat this. He decided that this is a new sort of aspect of what we do. We hind of yeah it's that this specific way of not knowing about something or deciding that you're not going to know about something happening because you think it's disgusting so and he found a lot of other things. So often before people actually do pick up the dogs Pooh, they will look over their shoulders and they will try to make sure that other people can see the doing the right thing, icicles, origin or sometimes, if they, if there's no one round or if they did, they read it. I want to sell stuff to put their hand in their pocket for a plastic bag or something, and then they'll. Take it out again to decide at the last minute not to why Andy was the thing about people doing the purpose could putting it in the bag and hanging on the tree was that for

well. He has a theory which is that it's a form of passive resistance, but that people are saying I don't people saying. I know it's the right thing to pick us up, but I resent having to do it. Therefore, I'm going to leave it anonymously because he said he followed people for years. He never saw anyone leave it on the tree. Therefore, people must be leaving it with there's. No one else around and making sure that that would see decoration, maybe maybe double mark for their dog on the tree below he sticks the up. It's just total It's my street, no matter how high your dog as best they can if they do the thing that cause. Obviously it's a big problem. Everyone hates the idea of seeing poo in the streets. Dna dope testing is a new thing now, where they sample the whom and they can identify now you still get is so you can no longer there doing this in London. London is where it started. They looked like. It would really give you the dna of whatever the dogs eaten rather than the dog itself has no

you're a cow yeah of pedigree yeah, that's true, but no so they so they now have eighteen thousand dogs. When this article was published in the borough barking Agnes and they brought destroyed their dna. So, if you find through on the street now you can take it in and they can go that's my story. I think I might just still leave it rather than take it in a big time also them He's a law in this is that, I think, is a voluntary or whether you submit your dogs day and age. This dna databases, so it relies on the people who decided to go and submit their dogs. Dna then, having the kind of people who are gonna pick up, who, as a serious selection, biased kind of problem is tricky. Why don't policemen have to get off the police houses and

I enjoy a bin liner thanks to the enormous trees, yeah, I'm the guy, who did this Matthew Gross, he wanted to eat. You asked about leaving things by a tree. He wanted to ask owners about the practice and very bravely approached them and started asking them about it, and apparently it as I was some of the friendlier. That's included, mind your own business and do you have anything else to do? In my view, the study of the guy, who cycled around a town on a unified coal and made a list of all the different comments

We got something like two thirds of them worth something to the effects of words you're at the wheel, yeah, true and pretending to know things yeah. This is from a book called why everyone else is a hypocrite which deals with some of these quests like I was saying of self deception, and so I just wanted to quote a bit of it. So there are lots of situations where, if you don't know something, you can avoid a situation right, which is a lose lose situation just by pretending, not to know to understand something. So this is the line. If you see a building on fire and a small boy comes to tell you that a cat is caught in the window, your options are either to risk yourself to save the cat or take the reputation head of neglecting a socially perceived duty to rescue the cat is a footnote in the buggy says you could kill the boy, but then you've got other problems problem.

So, whereas, if you simply pretend that you don't understand language, the speaking you don't have to rescue the cat instead of risk. Your life kill the buy or kill the boy. According to a survey. commission by Samaritans. Quite recently, three times more men than women would pretend not to notice if a friend broke down in tears in front of them Oh that's a lot of not noticing the down, and it is not even a little drivel a proper hysterical crying it three times more. I am able to say whether that's positive or negative, though, because it thoughtfulness with the past- and I might well do that- cause you don't want to make the person feel uncomfortable stir. You could go up to them and say that their young, you could walk off or you could All of those will start with, but I got noticed with british people generally. This is an observation I picked up from being here is that if people are talking in a room and someone farts loudly just people

Can you talk? Those all out of the blue, pretending not to those of his is- is huge. Actually, Britain is an interesting way because there were a lot of scientists. Don't understand why we do lie, though, and I don't think it's as simple as we think so- then they say yeah. So there's this thing called smoke, which is the simple model of rational crime which says that we lie for rational reasons. So we only when it's going to benefit us. So if I've stolen something and then someone else, I saw something ally, so I didn't get in trouble, but actually- and I own basically started the podcast, just as I was in the middle of reading this, so I didn't see examples but is this guy pulled down area? Eighty who tested this more principle and it's not true. We don't lie instinctively in a way that benefits us,

at we lie in a way that says we want to present ourselves as a certain as something or something that's to do with our own self. Image is not to ourselves from something so know we. My favorite thing about line is very small children under the age of about four never lie because they think you can read their minds it's because they think that that voice, we all have in our head- that we've got used to small children. Just hear this as a kind of constant thing that I think will everybody I can hear it. Everyone else must be able to hear it. I thought you meant. I can still remember thinking now remember being convinced to say that each slice yeah if manipulative parent, you could really use that the child never stole a biscuit again. it will kill the boy, but then you- and so chimpanzees can do this thing, and sometimes, if chimpanzee is foraging for food, he'll see something really tasty and then just kind of walk past.

Pretending he didn't see. It's just so that no, the chimpanzee can see him kind of game and fight over it. Apparently some types of competitive chimp will kind of notice what he's doing and then walk past the pretending, Chimp hide behind a tree and then peep out to see if the pretending chimp really does have some food after all geniuses. I love alone. that none other animal about was his vote. Boxwoods, that's not a banana guy knocked me. We should wrap up very very quickly. We should wrap it up. Indeed, I think that's the message of this podcast should be disposed of responses. I think we really need to wrap up and hide his podcast around the tree that I'm, actually you guys ever enjoyed your bound movements, love feel just yesterday. Do you enjoy about movement? Yes on occasion,

Okay. So this is a study done actually it's a test where the lions were more successful and it found they are and the way they did. The study of these two scientists stated rewrite had a few drinks in the nineties. I think had a few drinks. We need to ask the questions that we definitely know. The answer is yes, but I bet Nor will I about it and they wanted to Questions was, do you enjoy your bandwidth ones and it was ass. They were like will We see everyone does so if they don't know that line and other questions in this study. Have you ever doubted your sexual adequacy finding anyone here NATO that going on up to see a lot and have you ever about committing suicide to get back at somebody, anyone who knows Google liar? That's why you tell me you do this study body, these scientists convicted wave all wanted to do this. I called Reuben Gun Harold, Sucker

wow wow, I'm going to kill myself to get back to them or just have a nice poo. First, okay, that's it! That's all of our backs! Thank you so much for listening, Anna browsing, her falsity enjoys found. We do you afterwards We have already reached a large whether handles I'm on Ass Schreiber lands ending at Andrew Hunter, Jane, sat at Shaped John, I have someone do that, for me is asking: are you sure you can email, the podcast occupy dot com which someone else will be monitoring after this podcast? I suspect I'll be on job seekers. You can also get to us on Huai Podcast and you can go to the qr dot com slashed podcast, where we have all of our previous episodes of fifty nine up there and will be

back again next week with another episode, thanks so much good bye. The.
