Do you know who loves these fun facts? I go
home and I tell them to my mum and she
loves them and not get enough of them. She is
like the fun Fact Queen. We should call her up
one time for this segment.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Sometimes I think that I let the bar drop a
little bit and they're not that fun. But these are
pretty fun.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Do you know what I honestly, I've never not had
the time of my life for Fact Friday. You guys
are doing an exceptional job.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Okay, I'm going to start with do you know that
the spy Skirls weren't always called the Spice Girls? What
were they called before they became the Spice Girls?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
I have absolutelynno Ida. Can you give me some type
of clue? Can I help?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
It's something that you can do to somebody else. It's
something when you pick up an object.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
You are the borrowers.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
That's a good guess I think my hint was worse.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Touch.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
They were called Touch, which doesn't have the same like zing,
does it right?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Okay? Like Touch Spice Girls is just maybe because we
just know them as the Spice Girls, but Touch.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Is a bit Yeah. They actually said when we first
started as Touch, we were really bland.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
They added some spice. Mate. I could be wrong here,
and producer Grace please jump in if I'm spitting lies
to the listeners here of the show. But apparently the
names the baby Spies scary spice that was given to
them by I told you that, So I'm regurtulating the
facts back to the fact teller. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Well, no, here's a fun fact on. That fun fact
on is that next week on the show, we have
a spice girl. And that's why I was telling it.
We haven't.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Melcy's right, Sorry, guys, good for a second.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Hey, here's a really good one. This is the funnest
fact I've ever had. Did you know that woodpeckers the
bird its tongue actually wraps around their brain to cushion
the brain from concussion because they peck so hard.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
I did I knew that? Did you know that David
Atmer told me that.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Okay, okay, we'll move on.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
But but fun fact nonetheless.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Okay, here's this. If you've ever been convicted of theft,
you might be able to use this one in court.
Koalas have fingerprints that are nearly indistinguishable from humans. They
are almost the same, so you might get away with
saying it wasn't me, it was a koala.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Imagine if you had like a thieving koala in your neighborhood,
or one that was you know, heaven forbid, like grievous,
bodily harm. I had a.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Cooler break into my house one day.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well exactly, and they're like, we'll never know who is
in the chola's and the tree being like down there pasispic.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Okay, here's one. The Guinness Book of World Records.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Why was that created? I used to I was obsessed.
I still remember that the two thousand and six Ginnis
Book of Records got for Christmas. Love that gift. Does
know where it came from? Was it island?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Sorry not literally where, but how it came to be?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Was it like a traveling show? Maybe no, that's a
good guess though.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
So it started because there were so many bar arguments
over like well, actually started with birds. Which bird is faster?
In Europe? Like which bird can travel the fastest? And
so people used to get into big arguments in bars.
So to settle it they started doing like let's race
the bird. Let's see. Then they wrote the record down
and then the person that came up with it was
the head of the Guinness Brewing Company. Wow, isn't that amazing?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I had no idea. I know how much does it cost?
We can we find out how much it costs to
have a record watched over by Guinness to make it official?
What does that cost?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Record. I would love to break what the fastest hundred
meters across the lego?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
No, a woman just did that.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, it was really slow.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I would pay you if you can break that, I will.
I will give you how much fifty bucks?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Grace? How much does it cost to get a Guinness
World Record officiated?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Ah, it's free to submit a standard application. What Yeah,
so there you go, if you can break the lego?
Fifty bones to you?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, fifty bones is like come on, come on, I've
seen how much you earn.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
You have.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Fifty bucks is like did you give a little ten
cents for the normal people.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
All right, Well, if Grace can add ten dollars, will
make it sixty bucks.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I don't get out of bed for less than one hundred.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Guys, Matt, you should be breaking records for the record.
