She was on taskmaster she's, been on cuba, many times, she's, just a really really really funny person. We had such a good laugh with her.
Can the show in the soho theatre last month? But why really? What to say and what is very important is that lose has a brand new book out. The book is called. What's that lady doing it's a really really great book about how she may be used to be a little bit of hedged and now channels all that of the hinges?
It's amazing kommeni it so well written. I really highly recommend that, but one thing I should also say: while what talking about bunks is that china and I have written own book, it's called everything to play fall the queue I book of sports is for people who, like spots, is even for people who don't like spots, who just want to read a load of interesting salaries and fun thanks. I mean it's from me and I know you know what you're gonna get and it comes out next thursday, but the reason we once its image knit now is because if you go to war to stones and you put in the off a code q, I spot twenty three, then you will get in twenty five percent of, and that is a deal for pre order. Only see needs do not before thursday. If you once got up for a quarter of anyway. More importantly, really for this week is, he must go and check out, loosened this book. What's that, lady doing that's available right now in all bookshops at all on my places where you get your bugs,
You a joy to show with upon cast how low and welcome to another episode of no such thing as a fish, a weekly podcast, this we coming to you live from the sun.
the theatre in london sitting here with James morgan, who runs murray and loosened, is and once again we have gathered round the microphones of our four favorite bags from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go starting with fact number one, and that is my fact might like this week. Is that names of registered competitive roller derby players include skate bush
venus fly trap camille to Alice in
her lands and weird I'll spend
which
a very rude
this is this is the most on me.
aiming convention? I think I've ever discovered, which is the amazing sportive roller derby largely takes place in america. They have this huge registry of names where, when you join, you must get like a w w s wrestling named. You pick it for yourself, you put it forward and you get added to this big register and then, when you're out there, that's who you are that's, who you embody and its there's someone like forty thousand
names that have input over various different lists over the years and so good yeah they just suck because it's a huge list and you can waste a lot of time as I did so hp, lovecraft voldemort, that's a good one and some of them are just pure on. Let go to some just violent ones. Affirmative some action, rather crusty AL strap on bit of a stretch.
Burst upon. I think they're going further. Today, I think, is AL capone, but with a strap, what's gonna help is also out of glitter adult hits out of whistler and adult hitter,
I think flirting with the taste line, but they are currently and winning.
an amazing spies, mostly women, who do in fact is almost exclusively women, find it
Will you do you're, not really derby, but
their role is gator yea idea, nice, ammonia, Debbie people here and do you have a name? What if we could let loose ends? The sands
sense because you ve escaping time is to send a lesson of actually found roller derby notes for each other.
so the yalu there is lubricant and lucy
daddy bodies, lover does Andy clockwise James bondage.
You know what I'd do. If only ever, do you think it's bondage and he's bound to these eleven divide down Helen or dancin queen with that scares you, but the spot is
sickly. You, you roll escapes around the rank right and you ve got one person who is kind of in charge who you're trying to protect while the other team are trying to get them. Basically, it's like
That kind of thing does not and it started off their whole spot started off as insurance races, so mba.
In eighties. There was this huge thing in america. I think we might mention it before of women doing six day, races where they would just walk and walk and walk and walk again and again and again until basically, there was one person left who would just keep walking, keep walking and then they started to to do it on roller skates and what they found is that some of the people who are faster would get round the circuit and that stop overtaking,
people, and then the people who were being overtaken would really hated, and so they start knocking them over. They found the people inside that way more than they each other. They didn't really quite like people just going round in circles, loads and those ties, but they loved it when people beat the shit out of each other, or I can see why there, because the very first one that they did this is this is this is what you would come and watch some people skating role is getting around the ring fifty,
seven thousand times yeah. The idea was that they were going across America. That's the thing. They'd worked out. How many times around the thing was to get from new york to l, a or whatever
and so for breaks. Ira, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I shall start with a much breaks. He sought for just like twenty minutes here or there, and you go twenty four
I was just with the occasional just stop. If the idea is a lot more fun now this bashing each other.
But you don't be drawn over so many people are told me so basically is quite aggressive. Sport, like my friends- and I thought you end up with an outbreak, ages and stuff and is often like big units that so many people
to me. That'd be really good at it. Yeah! You don't do that. Do you know what your friends do? Your friends have particular names that jab, I can't remember any of them, but I did write. I only write down to see,
but the eye is very small, so it's I'm captain beta
sounds like my love life. I was unsure into someone called lynn when who was england cap to hang an inside joke name? No, it's real. It's real name, say the name again, lynn. When, okay, I did think you settling quim. That's why I think when that may have been her fake, nine, no fake name was shaolin scarlets and she was a cut to the england team in the world cups in two thousand and fourteen and two thousand and sixteen and I was asking her about how it works. She said it's lots of team work is really really important, the team work and where they came up with a new tactic. They all get matching tattoos of their tactic of
Well, did that's pretty hard, we do that with a fax, don't wait yeah, we are absolutely coated head to toe they've had to make the font smaller and smaller as the years go by, because they keep thinking we'll stop, but we won't have you got any says
I have a guess, nah I'll. Never do this, the podcast! You can say what you want. Oh yeah, I go. I got sixteen huge ones: yeah, the lingo, none of the big whatnot,
That is why he works at places that give me sixteen the big ones by water of as long as they're big yeah teenage mutant
determine there's another one area that was yet that's a to pack shrank her. Thus clever, that's good
twice rocket, having outlets
I kind of like the events as well night, of the rolling dead knock to professed spanks, giving season's beatings okay great. But the there were these big massive ads earlier, like even in the nineteenth century, before they started doing propagator a before these sort of like formal events. So in eighteen, eighty four there was a guy called victor cluff, who skated one hundred miles in ten hours like in or around a course which is very impressive, and then in eighteen. Eighty five: there was a six day event where they had thirty six skaters, again roller skates
the beating and then soon after that, the winner of the race was a guy called William Donovan and another competitor died ooh yeah and they said. Oh, maybe we shouldn't do this for ten hours a day, because people just weren't up to it and they just kept going. I was reading about the walking version that came before the skates hadn't gotten. This was like. I said it was women doing this for six days at a time, and it became so popular that there was one stage I cant remember where it was, but there was a load of kids went missing in an area.
once all share all these kids a governess in and what they found as they were in a warehouse and they started their own events of walking round in circles for days on end.
and they just try to copy what these women were there and I'm like yeah? Let's do it ourselves and they'd been walking around in circles for three days when they were found, god I thought that was going to
qatar. Qatar know it's going to be like a roller skating, pied, piper situation, where the pied piper skated through the town and all the to the gym. Asap of that, I didn't think that. Did you hear rinca mania know what science is the edwardian craze for rinks skating, rinks loads of venues around everywhere used to be springs that are now converted just cause, it's so crazy, but basically because you could meet the opposite sex. That was the you're a bit less chaperone.
and irregular skate away from your chaperone. I tried one article saying: mother: Grundy dared not trust herself on skates. I, which meant that some, you know all the person is and will be watching. You are making sure what you're doing with the other, exactly the opposite. Sex
My wife's started the company. I just thought of this. Just now my wife's decided to start rollers gay saying I am distract- is very much the street name
Whew, I'm not sure I don't wanna say anything that will mean. I can't go home tonight because he's so, but here's the thing right, so she bought a pair of roller skates. She hasn't done it since she was a teenager and we're leaving the house and she starts putting them on, and I said what are you doing? She's, like
going to go into it now and I was like you've got to test it out in the park. We are on a main road here and you're going on your own with our child
buggy will was my only a few months like you know, nine months older. Something like that. So I said: listen, I've gotta come with you and she was insistent that she does it. So she put the rollers gates on.
She took a buggy outside deliver the top of the various debates we have had a better than it kind. I didn't go everywhere by unicycle, so I closed.
and when I hear
I turn around and familiar in the buggy just gone off and she can't stop. Could she doesn't know how to use the brake on the back and I
I chase them down the road as they're heading to oncoming traffic. Coming on, that is two guys with a glock glasgow and across the road, and I love that spirit that oak, or can I ask you, have you seen roller limbo,
now is not mazes. Ok, so it is. It is literally
as others limbo, unrolls gaze and you are you, have you think you know what is in your room
so it's used. So what you are mostly, maybe
Is someone skating towards and then bending backwards as much then yeah? It's not how you do it. You basically use it's so hard to describe it because I'm behind the desk, but basically you your legs go out to the sides. You go down into the spot,
study. I dont think the fact there's a desk here is what makes our difficult I so we
I could show what we have dozens gates.
I, the subway sideways splits, beheld moving forwards and your holding onto your dinner and you're going under these balls, which are about twenty
to be desired and you'll so low. As you have it, you ve got to look it up
so people need to grow up a little bit. The competitors are mostly children that get on them. Have you heard of is Jean yves blonde. Do so John eve? Blonde do has invented a new suit made of plastic that has thirty roller skates attached to it in all different parts of his body.
so wherever he, if he falls over on his back, he could roll escape us on this front. Role escape really calls on his head. He could roll escape become a log. A wall around this guy along the wall is skype com. You can watch videos on youtube. Was it does it as he using it? Is powers for good or evil?
I would say neither good nor evil- is just using them for more hits on youtube on his head as in the head, while now
probably maybe that is right, but we consider it very yeah and people
actually goes through all these really big hills around the world as quickly as he can all his suits. How does he stop? Does he have a break on like what like his elbows or something? You know what I'm not sure,
he must have some breaks go. Actually, you don't need to stop like the reason I thought was obvious in case you fall over. He has already fallen over yeah, but he needs to stop. There's a big woo yeah exactly he could just go up the wall and then on the side down on his head and stuff. It cannot be stopped. He should
we also has one of his suits, which these ones you can buy these.
that's. He was ours, they are, they are available, but he does have one c, which is for sale, which all
features samurai, blades and spike on. Oh, my god. What is useful for probably evil?
I give him six years. Life expectancy is exactly.
You may have its own very soon. I've got a couple of other names that I found so here's the thing there's a lot of extremely rude names on this registry, and it's it's done in that kind of empowering way. I think it's sort of you know it's exciting: to have these real bad ass names, but god dammit they really go for it. So some of them, I discovered bitch.
My group is, one vagina might is on my mama, isla value, hasten some kind of east extra. Some of these is the wise guy. Didn't stop the parking lots of august ivory? Well, we'd like to let you know that this week we are sponsored by cutting yes, no
canvas and particularly canvass for teams is a design platform that makes it so easy for you to create visual content in any format. You can be making videos you can we making entire websites and its
really good yeah. It's really awesome and they have all sorts of amazing things on canva. They have a way of making presentations and they have the cat and the white board. So you and your team can get together and write genius ideas
so you've used. Canva haven't you. I have yeah, I genuinely, and I am not a very visual person, I'm not very good at designing things and I just needed to design a little graphic for something which for me would ordinarily be torture and it just looked amazing by the time I finished it and a few people said to me wow. This is really good poster, and so, if you,
I have this kind of situation in your working life. I cannot recommend it enough and if you would like to decide on collaborate with colorful teams right now, you can do with a free forty, five day, extended trial when you go to convert dots and a slash fish that c, a n v, a dots m, a slash fish
That's right, just go to convert ca, nv, eight dot m, eight slash of fish, and you will get yourself a free forty, five day extended trial. We can't recommend it enough, make your things nice. What a great
glided up with podcast overfishing?
It is time for fact, number two, and that is Lou. I gave my thank this week, is that the takes up singer, who went five or with the sea shanty, is unable to perform these song on boats because he suffers from terrible seasick
yeah. It's it's iphone. It ass! Well, ass we has world is like
It's me it's way. Actually it was an amazing thing. Wasn't it he? Basically those twenty twenty,
He suddenly releases this sea shanty called weller man and it went to number one, which is why I went in the morning in the uk. Charts
it it's a song about a whale trawler and they're looking for a while, and this was twenty twenty one, so you would think by now. Maybe it's died down a bit, but I went on to his spotify listens. He still, as of today gets five million listens a month on his part of ireland.
That's the same. Is Tom jones Y yeah? So it's not unusual.
Get out of here I saw even its efficiency. Is it when I do not really know as anonymous feverish anti moisten it, sir
he's just a song I see
chauncey has to be something that you sing when you're working so light drunken sailors. I, what would you do with a drunken sailor, your pulling the rope
yup bring back the teo he's working so tough on that? That's a really good point: yeah mate! The thing about sea shanties like the old sea shanties, is that because owner of vessel, you only had a very skeleton crew that had to do multiple things. The song is the beat of allowing you to know how we all work as a group, so the the rhythm of it, the lyrics of it, would mean you have to pull it that moment and pull it this or what places and whatever, and so people often see it done, unlike navy ships and never really what happened on navy ships because they had so much crew. You didn't need to say without asking that the uk navy, though,
sea shanties, because you wouldn't be able to hear commands if you're singing too much you want, but you having a laugh, sounds like much church and savings whaling, ships and things like that, though- and there were specific songs for different things, you were doing on board, so there was holding shanties running shanties pump, shanties swabbing, shanties capstan, shanties capstone. Is that thing you turn around in the middle of the ship that pulls the anchor up? Their own songs relate it's pretty cool, but it's been like that song that he sang it's not like it's an obscure song. That's not been around for ages. It's a it's one of like the better known c songs and you can read a list of places
appeared, so it was in two thousand and thirteen. It was on the album. Now, that's what I call see shanties now one I found that did you find them?
the two gets on, spotify knows many was
tom jones. But it's doing ok. So before it's a great,
title and it's not multiple different, see shanty acts. It's just the one banned from wellington in new zealand called wellington, see shanties society. But
rizzo whole showing how did they get that name and that there is a whole. I kind of niece genre of pirate
metal and they say that basing weathermen is while the song, it's a scottish bankrolled, ale storm and storm seeker. They they benign to sing the song. So it's been around its. How come you get so the money fight and just because he made it up it's a traditional song and so traditional songs. I don't think there's any copyright. Oh I don't know shit. That's right! I think that's what
I think you do get royalties, but you have to bury them. That was quite a pain in the ass. Actually, ok is a little quiz question for you. When did the last actual proper shanty man, not like modern singers? When did the last proper shanty man die, oh
Oh well, I would have thought probably eighteenth century events. Ninety two, ninety, ninety,
only two months in any real wages down
love laugh correct because you died in nineteen nineties. As you said, I was like keep the like: keep kate like escape shit, she's got a bad sides or anything. It was a good start.
who gill I mean that is born in nineteen o six, even see and nineteen twenty two when the idea of a year- and then he was the shanty
and on the last ever british sailing ship, which was called the golf pool, and that was on it's last voyage and that ship was wrecked in nineteen twenty nine and he lived as alive. He was in the second world war. He settled down. He he wrote down all his shanties because it looked like the old traditional they'd like there wasn't a proper songbook. He died in nineteen. Ninety two wow yeah- I I know you ain't nightmare-
It's just not radio sit back, but I do think I'm a bit psychic yeah we're talking about sitting right next to the person who absolutely loves that kind of stuff. Why do you think you're psychic? You think he pull that out of Andy's hat. Just now, yeah, basically I'm very emotionally intelligent
you don't even believe in the? U f ice, so I'm not going to continue to a private backstage yeah! That's true!
I think that he doesn't believe in your face. Any heights within one of those things is true: the just punishment anyone
I kind of feel like I've had enough. This has to do with the music and the army, so corporal punishments in the british army
often meted out by traumas and bands? People do with a drum guy
the posts in a way you with that kind of nine tales, is the drumstick rhythm. Well, now
wasn't so most I was probably the re. There is two possible reasons, one that other musicians would play music and it would drown out the screams of the person being punished, but probably because just the people who were drummers are in the band.
They were not proper sailors, and so they were like the lowest of the low of that. As far as you know, who's the most senior
and so the idea was, if you are saying,
well. You wouldn't want speed, meeting out punishment to your to your peers, and so maybe you would get the person at the bottom to do it, and that, apparently, is where we get the idea of being drummed out so being drummed out of the army is because it was the drummer who would do the do the beating
since there are actually beating you. Yet with the cats nine tales, like only those who pretend to know our boys policies
from a champion
Adobe winner! No just answer.
it was a cat of nine tails, but for yoga recruits. So if you're, a young person who joined the army of age, perhaps they would have a like a cabinet entails, would have nine light whip sedan. That would be nuts on it, but yours would only have five and it'd be made of smooth coat top as nice. As that wow yeah place, pissy croaky. Have you ever had the sea shanty come over you?
and this one thing is good. I can't is it. The same has come all ye. Faithful. The it's about the tongue is where the the guys on board ship who collected, stray intestines of whales floating around wow yeah, I think, can
well, he says he says, will get the tumbling down now. Something like yourselves does exactly so. That's gonna maidens! That's what I mean. That's very cold, not a lovely job. I gotta fact about whales
in actual whales and whale songs. So I love this. Okay whale song spreads like humans songs, so the scientists found that was basically that was a hit whale song among humpback whales in the west coast of australia. It was only found that, but then, several months later, they heard that same song on the east coast right and this happens in the atlantic to basically hit whale songs, make their way from west to east. So you will get whales in the east, which is still singing the old songs, but the whales in the west of of a new song. By now and gradually
if the crossing is always west to east and they do we dunno wow yeah. It's amazing to imagine like the radar listening. If there's no don't know, it's gotta get those phone numbers from somewhere, and this is a call,
thing this sea sickness we're talking about, but there's other kinds of sickness that you can get motion. Sickness seasickness is one of the motion: sickness, love, brightness, we don't know who say and as air sorry I go, I don't want to get us to join in with more kinds of sickness inside a sickness. Yet it was. Is love
it's not a thing. Let's lift this lucky guy yeah. That was a proper thing in the nineteenth century. Wasn't love sickness? They thought that it meant you. If you had like a pilot expression and like just deep son, Kai's and stuff, that's because you will lovesick we're supposed to be a thing. Okay, so with all the sicknesses, it's probably impossible to ever say this was the first person who ever had seasickness. This is the first person who had love sickness right, but we do know the person who had the first sickness of one kind. So I'll give you the name is called gum and tit of what did
it'll have undertaken is happiness, poppies, likeness, Zita, presumably space race that we go once was
They signal says person to ever have space. I feel a bit cycle
Let it be all the russia, the history, I've read by think he's a psychic, cyclists, and so did he was living like cholera,
mind you, I know what you're thinking yeah but you're saying that, because you've read it, you're, not psychic, but I've never read a book in mind that you've written one yeah, everyone, nineteen sixty one august german titov- is the, I think, the fourth human, certainly one of the first batches of humans to go up in orbit the earth and he's the first person who up there gets motion, while space, sickness and vomits of first ever human to vanilla, eggs and so a landmark thing, and it affects so.
the people are so many astronauts who go up there and it's for the opposite reason that you might get sea sickness or any kind of motion sickness on earth. You have an opposite effect. Right, I don't know that I don't know the proper science but said like put it in context. If you were in a car and you were reading your phone or a book, you might get motion sickness because you're what you're staring at is counter to everything else. That is, in your normal movement around and you're, trying to keep out yeah exactly in space to get rid of every
moving around because of the lack of gravity, you should read a book and to to get your science is now available. Ladys anxious doesn't have yet to of Heaven
express any interest that they have not no expense yeah. So here's the thing they were very worried when it happened to him, because he came back down to earth and was was space sickness, something that is going to carry through on into life.
And then suddenly notice huge changes in his personality. He suddenly was so
like sleeping around with different women. He was being really rowdy in bar, as he was like all these different personality trades and I thought caught the space sickness has come down. So they study to him.
Tat go up to spacecraft the message geoff thirty work, but here's what they worked.
It wasn't space sickness. It's just, he was a dick
or I could
We need to move on to our next fact. It is time for fact, number three, and that is Andy. My fact is that the people of iceland can think of a good use for ninety five percent of cod
So this is a fact about recycling specific. We now can you tell us what part of cards that yeah.
This doubling the stubborn last few percent. Basically the blood and the eyeballs are quite hard to
monetize make enable EU programme you always about
the united. We have said that the aqueous humour in the eye can be drunk in an emergency. Yes, it's just ought to monetize is at its height
just say and unlike what there is a use for the blood as well, it can be used in sausage spurts or as fish food, but it's hard to get the lame Amy. I basically this is this from a magazine called hacker magazine which we mentioned before is always paid.
and another failure magazine, it's all about the sea and everything, nautical and or by water basically, and iceland catch loads of cod, and there is that they didn't use much of it. Until recently, they used forty percent of the court in the early two thousands nightmare lots of waste in a using the hell at sea or eating the maiden, but not really using it properly. So there is a project called one hundred percent fish which aims to all of the called course to good use in a just just use the whole thing, which is much more sensible. So this,
skin. If you ve been, if you ve had a burn, the skin can be grafted onto people now. So there are people who are part called gap. Rarely see the imprint of the scales as well, but it's really good. Things has gained ground like it's really is really a thousand people have been treated with called skin. Would it make you swim faster?
now. Let's leave, why not what I didn't put your recovering from a major operation. There's got to argue that the bill any speed I can is you could, is there not away in the olympics and next olympics? We put this cut skin on all of us swimmers now you're right but
look I gotta get, but I don't know
when you retire like age. Twenty. Seventy two just cover the account for the rest of that smell at a fashionable was the hangout with yeah yeah, no you're right at times, scali tum escape
hey to get it that guy called Tom DE he's de get it some day then put the codes on the dollar, which would presumably be a nightmare if he was plunging downwards and then just like hit the bottom at torpedo. Ninety six becomes scaly anyway, some uses of a card, oh yeah. So if you are a professional fisher person and when I say professional, I mean you're doing it in competition, so you seen who can catch the biggest fish year? The way that they tell which fish is the best, as they are
yet now, some people will put some like metal or something inside the fish to weigh down now what if he bought some cards on the way and youth,
shove there inside your fish they'll, never find it cause expression, side, fish, a man! That's what happens this, this big scandal in fishing, which people buying fillets of cod.
having them inside the fishes to make them heavier with disgust. It's it's true, though, is a notorious case really recently last year, which was uncovered by a judge called jason fisher.
I desperately have to be to win an angling competition. You're busy shoving called up. Another fish is awesome. What is the you must have a look at your life that I think I've lost my priorities? I I go down the mouth.
I probably worthier, as opposed to the the small opening, which is more plausible
and which is more fun. You know, because to do so because we found out that go, there's really clever yeah as good as that is really clever groundwater. How many of us on this stage have been to iceland I haven't. I know you have opened a few times: yeah yeah you and you did a tv thing- that a new was a dangerous rights and it is good to go to
and when someone else is paying for x is so expensive is a really so expensive that this is really get have have another sandwich.
What did you say like what oh yeah as space? It wasn't about the sandwiches. So how come you know a fact of ice and everyone's lows: people a coup daddy, so instrument.
I think it s the name of day. That's David. There could, if your names dave in england debate, could daddy in thy while chosen, daddy, yeah, so I'll fix. It was called daddy's who had to keep
daddy, daddy goods in iceland. Your legs bill. I only got the winner from pass: muster from daddy, got yeah agenda values. Antenna daddy thing
It is understood that sorry, taking some jennifer's nathan,
My diary never going to organise areas which is, moreover, in iceland, rabbits or rubber
as long as you're saying rabbis, I think the audience have pitched in with a vote for rabbis, okay well
it's rabbits yeah, I would say probably a lot of countries, don't have any rabbits, so I'll say, run eyes on rabbi. Do rabbits you're half right, they got loads of rabbits
Anyone rabbi, I never ate a good facts about iceland. Here we go, they ve got a dating up because because it's such a small country, everyone's, if needed, lit, related, see you could sleep with someone in the pomp and it could be your first cousin
and so they dating app we this too, I don't live ones. The came in at this end. They bought it. They dating up where you can tell how far removed the person you just got off.
There is a way that it does not fall outside the lights. Are you like tat? They did not like needed, and now we are cousins or half of humanity.
so many people are related and his cause problems with babies coming out out and stuff
someone develop this dating app. So you can tell wow imagine if you were in the throes of passion, neither, oh god so just check the app. Maybe no, maybe I went blah blah yeah is home to the hottest hole on the planet. The hottest hole, literally the hottest hole, okay, geothermal hole is the iceland deep drilling project and it's five thousand degrees.
celsius is really hot. I think daily basis. Do you think I have, I think so then there's a big factory on top of it, where you can go visit thus far so yeah. Basically, it's the pressures to you put water down there and it becomes something called supercritical which I do not fully understand, but it's basically neither liquid nor gas
dunno what it is solid, but yeah, it's eyes. If you have water, have it have it becomes ice again. Very new sides are so useful because they use it to heat everything they can have on the pavement heating. The geothermal people that fall over on the ice because obviously gets really icy, but you don't slip over and fall so it's very, but they use it for so much that they liked a like most of the houses that the hot water comes literally from.
Four of our earth is heated by james shirley from the canada that the literally have weather, though, but it's like yeah. They got round problems of. But what about that dating app yeah? We have spoken about the day that all the women went on strike in iceland.
Nineteen. Seventy five new: basically
It was a that was the thing the united nations proclaimed it a women's year and basically the women of iceland got together this this group of women as a sort of representative and went, we should go on strike and make a point about the fact that we're paid less. We should make a point about we're doing all the domestic stuff at home. We're doing all this stuff- let's, let's really let them know that this is something that we disagree with and iceland back then in nineteen. Seventy five as two hundred thousand people that live in iceland, twenty five thousand women were, at one single event, to hear the speeches that were in the lead up to this, and so, instead of calling us
like they thought we might piss off too many people and they weren't happens. They said, could we have a day off and they went our day. All sounds nice. You don't have a day of habitat, so why every woman in iceland had a day off and the country went into chaos superman.
It's so that a sausage is cause. Dad's did know it took their kids. Every one was working jobs that they didn't necessarily knew how to do because they thought they were at a higher level and they suddenly having to be the teller at a bank rather than the bank manager at a bank kind of thing. The men refer to it still, the
long friday. That day I got hey. I need to move us on to our final fact of the show he said he won last year. This is something that happened to an american visitor to iceland and twenty sixteen. He was called Noel Santillan. He was on holiday and he arrived hide his car. He wanted to go to lager vega street, I'm sure I'm pronouncing it wrong. Forty five minutes from the airport, no problem, he misspelled it by one letter and iceland setting to upset him six hours, two hundred and sixty five miles away to a tiny fishing village on the site like he got the bloody hell he did, but the people were very friendly and they liked the oh. What a funny mistake to make
Oh well. He stayed there for a few days like making friends. Oh is the funny american on the way back, he was trying to get to the blue lagoon geothermal spa. It happened again. He ended up in the coastal town, which is home to the office of the company which owns this bar, so we just ended up in an office building. He actually he walked into a staff meeting room and they said, oh, you must be the american craft.
I need to make this answer our final factor the show, and that is James. Ok, my thought this week is that there is an up
can tell you when you're fly is down just useful as net
it's the work of a guy called guy du pont, who is a youtube, Andy hacker and he's?
lots loads of things. Invents invented like a baby monitor which vibrates when the baby cries. So it's
accessible, he huckses fridge, so it tells him money. I said we leave open, but this is his. By far the most useful invention is a pair of smart,
It's and whenever you have your fly's, been down for, let's say thirty seconds or maybe a bit longer, maybe a minute or two then you'll get a beep on your phone saying your flies low. You need to look at it now. Is it
called the wifi. It's called the wifi available as rudy goods. I read an article about James it. It sounds like a couple of disadvantages. I like to go
Finally, the flies undone for example. It is constantly monitoring, so you phone battery lots about half an hour,
What is also covers the genes anymore, because there are powerful magnets inside that bears teething troubles, less untie and those out I'd say problem that lies it s, not that big, I think they eat. Would you have again not just to tell anyone who cares that someone, someone I'll tell you right
I guess the guy sold out if you're, somewhere quite busy, if you're somewhat quite like urban, though people don't tell you because people
If you like, like you, a stranger yeah every time, we so teacher, that's a problem just day today. I didn't. I do see that began like you say, because you can wash it. That's gonna be a problem, and he reminds me of that.
It makes some robotic trousers for old people to remember yeah, and they were really good. They were obviously they wanted to stopped old people from falling over, so they made this kind of exoskeleton, which would help them to walk and it was obsolete.
and they were really well, but the problem was that you couldn't wash them and they couldn't stop the old people from trying to wash them,
no matter what they said they just they had put them in washington, have often shitting themselves. We really,
living in a sort of golden unrecognized. I would say golden age of innovation in the app world, so one that I found is air, p and p, so like air bnb, the air pie and peas for people who hate public toilets and there are people in the local area who-
their apartment listed just as the two we go, and you can just like it's like me being at home and someone knocking on the door and what we got, an airplane, p appointments and they come in and take a piss in my toilet.
And then head off and give each other a review.
I think it's run by perverse. It's got to be as a woman as no way go to a stranger's house to use the toilet, to think so, not a good point, not even if they are
Like four point: nine stars: I've never killed anyone up, and I know it is a really good point. I think it's moby ideas I find lasting than the practicality of it.
I have. You put your one at pmp yeah, but mostly because it was my dream. I had a yeah well, I was I was in a bit of london, one it was near a park and there were no toilets around and I thought you know I should do. I should just open up a toilet and
I'll was sitting there like I'm the like. I'm ted dancing in chairs and people come in now have a pain will chat and a no go out I'll charge them mother, no, twenty quitter!
everyone, but I'm getting a good chat, tat, lady Ashton, when it so it is good to have a brief with you that pits youtube.
the public so that the other day that's dirty and disgusting, the public toilet and they might be people in there who have not
and so this may, when you say, thou dost, thou, referring value, I going area, so this would be going
he'd high class.
No one ever eat no executive. Nobody ever over the public toilet saying one in two weeks this is gonna, be
disgrace hell. No, when I visit toilet thinking, god I've got here and there I could do
the child? As you have you heard of the car matey,
it tells you wear your cars, but in a pirate voice girl, that's nice got up. Have you ever heard of weight? Key? Yes, because everyone knows
sudan as well. Give it to us give it to us was worthless wiki. If you struggle to get up in the morning, someone will call you as an alarm a stranger and ye can call other people to wake them up as well.
So it's not so it's an alarm clock is like it's a call. You pick it up and it might be just like a fisherman and iceland going hi how's it going, and that's your you'll wake up, call that I think they ve now remove the waking up. There is now just random goals with strangers. So if I go to a public tyler might some on chat.
While I know I just think it likely that's lanky. I think what are you over an app there's, a few other out, which I think is really really calls it there's an app that can blow out candles. Yeah is not really cool, so it's cold
the blower app? And it say he must to be disappointed by the human design. Daft designed
Basically, it's an extraordinary kind of
innovation where certain frequencies are generated by the act. That means that the phone itself shakes in such a way and whether the holes for the speakers it turns the air that's inside into being propelled out strong.
that it can blow out a candle was a? U can you yeah, but why not use battering candles all its of it?
It's that's, not the spirit that I know conquered the american frontier. Is it let's do things the way we've done them in the past? No, let's make the phone app do it.
Let's make a further comment ready miracle frogs arose, we did say in the past the one you blow out candles on a cake. It puts loads of jobs all over the cat
size thing today you don't mind ass to have it. In german, while I did read there was a study of three thousand five hundred swaps taken from people's phones and they found nine on studied branches of bacterial life, including many species of bacteria that were unknown to science. Why they found one species of edwards bacteria that adult previously made known and unknown the groundwater aquifer
and another one that was only found previously in the abandoned gold mines and they're. Just on your phone. That's amazing! Isn't it like? It was quite noise in a way
Everyone has harbouring interesting things: oh yeah, we'll
You made it is kind of nice and away, but we don't know whether how safe is they smell, and you know what fly for use up already than india flooded know what the
fly originally meant. Did it mean zip? Did it mean the insects or did it mean to fly around looking
Overcoming call was far options which one do you think I'm fine, I guess to fly to fly.
And the AP yeah well weirdly enough. It was the insect that came first and then it came to me like flapping your wings flapping things, and then it came to mean flying as in the verb to fly and the reason that you have a fly on your trousers. The fly is not the zipper it's the bit that covers the zipper and thus because it kind of flaps in the wind, like the friends of the tent. So, where you have the zipper button, you have a little bit of cloth and that flaps in the wind yeah, and that was named the fly because it flaps and then the front of your trousers name to fly cause. It looks like the front of a tent, so tense came before.
Trousers before flies with names yeah, but that in itself is a very exciting thing. Yeah, I'm aroused yeah. I felt a couple of new apps that a lord one new at this launch this summer, which is quite exciting. I've actually got it on my phone now. So I can answer questions about it. It's called
text with Jesus. Oh man, I re created our lord as some as a chat, jpg
guy you can. You can write, you can ask questions and and he'll answer you and you get lots of people. You get Jesus Moses, the virgin mary abrahams nephew lot.
What was the one who got turned into a pillar of salt that was most wifi? You can ask law what was it like when your wife is set at a better result? Basically, they write back quite convincing answers. Let realistic on examples hang about to dig out sorry because I have been chatting to them like Mary Magdalen costs to ninety nine a month.
Various people are locked of the things that you can't access, how much sense, Jesus
