Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hi Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcast playlist, and listen
live on the free iHeart app. Now, Britch, it is
time for fun Fact Friday.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Shelter, Fine Friday. What do you got for us today?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Lord? Look, I'm just very happy that this break is
here to stay and we're here to help you go
into the weekend with some fun facts to win at trivia.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Not all heroes were cape.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'm also really about No, I'm really bad at trivia,
but I really enjoy the segment. That's all there is. Okay,
Number one straight off the bat, that is, did you
know that Cookie Monster's real name is, in fact not
Cookie Monster? It is Sid.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
You can't just call someone Sid and then change their name.
He's never been called Sid in his life. Will have
into this is Cookie Monster's real name Sid? Actually it is.
They just made that monster.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
It's probably not even the real Cookie. It's really good.
It's a I'm calling bs on that we can't believe
anything these days. All right, Giraffes, This one makes sense
when you think about it. Giraffes are thirty times more
likely to get hit by lightning than people. Why because
they're so tall.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, but it's just like two meters taller than like,
why isn't it a tree? Why?

Speaker 1 (01:25):
What's the signs behind that?

Speaker 2 (01:25):
There's a lot of things taller than a giraffe.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
No, but it's just more than getting hit by like
than people. So it's like, yeah, the trees, if we're
going to talk about it, I'm sure a skyscraper is
probably more likely to get hit that's my point. But
I said, giraffes are thirty times more likely to get
hit by lightning than people. Sucks to be a giraffe.
Facint Football teams wearing red kits play better.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Says who statistics? What statistic?

Speaker 1 (01:47):
There was a review of football matches in the last
fifty five years and it showed that teams who were
wearing a red kit consistently played better in home matches
than teams in any other color. Well, yeah, what color
has been where they're like a blue and with red shred?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
They wear red as well? They wear red, But here
came from the winning championship team, Celtic. There was green.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Okay, but did they win every game?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yes? Every Yeah, they were the winners.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Okay, a treble it's called Did you know that Koalas
have chlamydia? Yes?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Everyone knows that they also sleeping at eucalyptus.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
They also have fingerprints. They are nearly indistinguishable from human ones.
So if a koala broke into your house and stole
something like an eucalypus plant, they'd never know. They'd think
it was a human.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Fascinating.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, I know, take that one out in the weekend
and spin it around. You also got one more animal
one for you. Crocodiles cannot stick out their tongues because
the membrane holds their tongue in place. They're one of
the only animals who can't do it, so they can't
lick something, and most lizard things can. So that's really weird.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
So crocodile can't lick, that's interesting. So just eachy hole
doesn't doesn't even have a taste, just does it? Not
like you, it does it.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
I don't think it's particularly biggy, to be honest.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, you guys go off into the sunset and have
a great weekend with those fun facts.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
We certainly will anyway, guys, that is it from us.
