Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, that was kind of random, mel tying for random
facts with Mel Taylor.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Let's go ahead today and take a look at your
random facts. So Coldplay has never had any lineup changes
even at the beginning, which is pretty crazy. They've also
never used any court touring musicians, so it's just been
the same four guys playing and touring together since day one,
almost thirty years later. Like that is impressive. Can you
name anybody else besides Chris Martin? Though, that's the question.

(00:27):
If you add up all the numbers on a roulette wheel,
you get six six six. There are approximately five point
nine million Puerto Ricans living in the continental US three
point two million living in Puerto Rico. Bismarquis never planned
to sing the chorus of Just a Friend, but I
guess none of the people they asked to sing showed
up at the studio, so that's why he just sang

(00:49):
it himself, which kind of made that song really iconic.
Poltergeist comes from the German word poltergeist, which translates to
noisy ghost. That is a look today at your random facts.
