Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
. . .
Hello and welcome to another episode of Little Fish. My name is Andrew Hunter-Murray. I'm joined by James Harkin and Anna Tijinsky to present a selection of your best facts. You, the audience, you've been emailing podcast.qi.com. By gum, you have been. And we've got some facts that we're going to be telling you now. Who's got a fact? Please, someone stop this introduction.
I'll stop it. I've got a fact.
Chapter 2: What interesting facts does the audience share?
It's from Manuel Funk. Or Funk, maybe, but there's not a little couple of dots. An umlaut. Huge fat thank you, an umlaut. Could be a diuresis, depending on the word. But diuresis is a more embarrassing word to say, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah. I've got diuresis. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He says, I'm a huge fan of the show. Thank you, Manuel. And he's got a fact that sounds like it was scripted by a lazy novelist, he said. But apparently we mentioned German.
Why did you not give yourself this one, Andy? Okay, that's rude.
And his new book is out soon. The recently dismissed coach of Fortuna Dusseldorf is named Markus Anfang, which translates to beginning. And he's been replaced by Alexander Ender. And Andy, you speak German. Do you know what Ender is?
I think I do, yeah. It's end.
It's end. Beginning and end. So there we go. And then he said, as an added fun fact, Marcus Anfang is no stranger to strange headlines. In 2021, he was fired because he'd faked his COVID vaccine.
Is that fun?
He'd faked a vaccine? Yeah.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the names 'Anfang' and 'Ender' in football?
Yeah. I just wish I was a commentator in the 1960s. And it's brown arse hole.
You'd be lynched at the time, wouldn't you? For what? For being that rude on air. As in, would you not... You'd be in huge trouble, I guess. You'd be sacked.
You're only reading people's names.
Just reading their names, Your Honour.
What about Uwe Fuchs, the German? Yeah. There was a famous footballer whose name is basically Fuchs. Yeah, that's true. There's been lots of funny names. What about Areola, the goalkeeper?
Areola's not rude.
It's a bit rude.
What?
Areola Grande. She's rude. Whenever he messes up because he's a goalkeeper, they always say he made a bit of a tit of himself. That's funny.

Chapter 4: How do guinea pigs' eating habits relate to their digestion?
So my dad was celiac, and it's poison to him, basically. Right.
There must be moments when you're debating things as the Catholic Church, when you're like writing down and how much exact gluten should there be in the way where you go, this must be a bit bullshit now. What are we doing?
Well, I've got good news. There is a loophole. And that is that you can take the body of Christ just as the blood of Christ and it's all the same. Oh. So you can just have the wine. Lovely stuff. But you have to make sure, like usually during transubstantiation, they break some bread and put it in the wine.
Mm-hmm.
Like when they're doing all the rigmarole. So you have to make sure that hasn't happened. And also that there's no contamination with other people. So you kind of need your own hip flask.
God, it must be so annoying when the celiac guy rocks up to church.
He's here again. But if you're an alcoholic and a celiac. Or a child as well. So what happens with the wine? Is that alcohol-free communion wine? It's not allowed to be alcohol-free either. So it's alcohol and gluten. I feel really like we've made progress with the whole thing today.
Yeah. Jesus lives in the alcohol and the gluten.
Yeah. Cool.

Chapter 5: What peculiar fact about New Zealand's State Highway 1 is discussed?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're brilliant little blind little cave worms, lizard things. They prefer lizards. They're a bit endangered and they're lovely. And the caves of Slovenia are fantastic, which is not a slight on the above ground experiences you can have in Slovenia. It's just that the caves are really good. Here's another fact.
This one goes out to Kalobi, and it's that in 2015, half the world's saigas suddenly died, and nobody knew why. Now, what's a saiga, I hear you ask, is a kind of antelope. And there was this disaster in Kazakhstan where half of them died, and no one knew what. But I'm pleased to report that the populations have been improving a great deal since the last assessment.
I've sometimes checked on the saigas, actually, and I've always thought, God, that is terrible, but they are somehow coming back.
yeah yeah great which is great news quite an international episode this isn't it with the slovenian lakes and the kazakh yes antelopes which exotic bit of the world are we going to go to next with our fact well we'll see oh i can't wait neil merrick exotic or not your fact is barbara streisand has a shopping mall built for her sole use under her house lovely
By a process of elimination, you can work out whose fact this was anyway.
When I was in Chongqing, I went about, I think it was about a two-mile walk, but it was raining. And I did it by going from one shopping mall to the next shopping mall to the next shopping mall to the next shopping mall because there's so many of them and they're so big and they go across so many different streets. Hmm.
That's a dystopian vision you've just created.
It was crazy. And then you go to another, like you cross over and then you'd be in another mall that was all themed for Garfield. And then you go in another one and it's like, ah, now it's just a load of Chinese street food. It was just the weirdest thing ever.
Okay, I'm hearing action film that is all in a mall. In fact, that's the title of the film. You mean Mall Cop. Okay, I'm hearing that it's been done.
