First 90 seconds

  1. Speaker 10:00

    [upbeat music] Texas summer heat is like that friend who says, "I don't wanna overstay my welcome," and the next thing you know, it's October. You can't control the weather, but you can get ahead of it with Columbia PFG Styles from Academy Sports and Outdoors. That summer stuck to you feeling? Not in these clothes. Get gear with cooling, sun blocking, and moisture wicking tech for whatever weather comes your way. Heat, rain, wind, hail. In Columbia PFG, it's just another Tuesday in Texas. Academy, fun can't lose.

  2. Andrew Hunter Murray· Host0:28

    Academy.

    [upbeat music] [machine beeping] [upbeat music] Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing As A Fish, a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Holborn. My name is Dan Schreiber. I am sitting here with Anna Teshinski, Andrew Hunter Murray, and James Harkin. And once again, we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days. And in no particular order, here we go. Starting with fact number one, and that is James.

  4. James Harkin· Host1:07

    Okay. My fact this week is that in 1965 you could try to quit smoking by swapping normal cigarettes for ones made of lettuce.

  5. Dan Schreiber· Host1:16

    Did you look as cool?

  6. Andrew Hunter Murray· Host1:18

    [laughs] [laughs] It's... You're not smoking a whole lettuce, I'm guessing.

  7. James Harkin· Host1:22

    [laughs] Yeah.

  8. Andrew Hunter Murray· Host1:23

    That would look cool.

  9. James Harkin· Host1:24

    I think they looked more or less like cigarettes.

  10. Andrew Hunter Murray· Host1:26

    Mm.

  11. James Harkin· Host1:27

    Um, so this is a fact I read on the blog Boing Boing.
