Chapter 1: What humorous moments open the episode?
Hello and welcome to another episode of Little Fish. My name is Andrew Hunter-Murray. I'm here with James Harkin and Dan Treiber.
What the hell was that? I don't know if that would be picked up on the mics.
James was just slapping his cheeks.
Is that what it was? I wasn't looking. My face cheeks for those at home.
Yeah, absolutely. And welcome to the show. You've had your fireworks right at the top. Now let's get into some facts.
If that becomes our theme tune, then I might have problems because it still hurts a little bit.
We'll do it next time.
On my face. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Chapter 2: What interesting facts about baseball scouting are shared?
And so it's, yeah, that's a nice out to sort of say, well, of course it's not going to be right.
you you're a b negative but you can hit baseballs very far yeah so we'll have you on the team because it's like 75 percent good um here is another sporting one kind of this is from matt burke and it's a brilliant fact it is that the world record for the longest darts bullseye 8 metres is about a tenth as long as the longest throw of a cowpat, which is 81.1 metres.
There's someone out there who can throw a cowpat 80 metres. 81.1 metres, yeah. That's incredible. Steve Erner, no less. Steve Erner.
Cowpats are flattish on the bottom.
You have absolutely hit the nail on the absolute head of the importance of shape in cowpat throwing. Because you can frisbee it, right? Brilliant.
So good. That's the most excited I've ever seen James do about anything. I got scared.

Chapter 3: How does blood type influence personality in Japan?
when he started i was like oh no we've done something wrong we're in trouble i think he did something to his head when he did that slappy thing at the beginning this um 81.1 is under the non-sphericalization and 100 organic rule which was established in 1970 um so you have two different records one of which is where the um pat is molded into a spherical shape and one where it's done as a flat chip
Okay, so wait, the one that was thrown this far was molded into a spherical thing? No, it was flat like a frisbee, like a discus. Oh, okay. Oh, sorry, spherical. I was thinking round meant spherical. No, got it. Presumably, if you fashioned your cowpat into a javelin in much the same way that that guy made his own poo knife, you could throw it even further.
Yeah, so you'd have to freeze it.
Oh, you'd have to freeze it.
Is that in the rules? Well, you've hit the nail right on the head yet again. No, it's not in the rules. No one's thought of freezing the cow pats yet.
I think that's a Fosbury flop moment waiting to happen. Yeah, could be. Here's a fact from Dave Shaw. The only UK number one that doesn't contain its own title in the lyrics is... What?
Must be loads.
Dave says not.
I think there have been some without any lyrics at all. There have been some which haven't got any lyrics at all. Can we try and guess it if you give us the name of the band?

Chapter 4: What surprising fact about cowpat throwing is revealed?
Is that we try and slip them in without each other noticing. That's really good. Elizabeth Cotton, she won for her album Elizabeth Cotton Live at the age of 90 in 1984. And actually in 1967, she released a record created with her grandchildren and with one great grandchild as well who was in that album.
and she was a self-taught left-handed guitarist who played a guitar upside down amazing okay you know i mean so and that was her style was really unusual because she played upside down and that was why it was known as cotton picking brilliant cool great grammy yeah yeah i wonder if um an emmy has ever won an emmy oh very good question check out yeah name my next kid bafta uh
Fingers crossed.
I'm going to change my name to Chartler 1.
Here's another fact. This one comes from Alex Thorpe. Thank you, Alex. And it's that you should hire Novak Djokovic to build your flat pack furniture and Rafael Nadal to disassemble it. There is a reason for this.
I can have a guess. I've got a guess as well. We should say something funny then. I reckon we both know the answer. Do you? It's just a guess. Go on, what's your guess, Dan? Should we say it at the same time? Yeah. Start with... Nadal? Nadal is... Left-handed.
Okay, screw you guys. You're not allowed to go into my nose before we do the show and gazump me like that. So Nadal is left-handed, basically. And Djokovic is Serbian. So when you're tightening a screw, you guys are right-handed, aren't you?
Yes.
When you tighten a screw with a screwdriver in your right hand, you're using a muscle called the supinator. Cool. Which is much stronger than the pronator, which is used to unscrew. Now, if you're using your left hand and a screwdriver, it's the opposite way around, right?
