0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast |
0:21.5 | this week coming to you from Lester! |
0:31.0 | My name is Dan Schreiber and I am sitting here with Anich Zinski, Andrew Hunter Murray |
0:37.0 | and James Harkin and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our |
0:41.0 | 4th favorite facts from the last 7 days and in no particular order, here we go starting |
0:46.8 | with you, Chazinski. |
0:49.0 | My fact this week is that walkers, crisps only source potatoes that are grown far away from |
0:54.9 | golf courses because their factory machines can't distinguish between golf balls and potatoes. |

1:35.1 | and so it used to be that there be a lot of golf courses next to the fields where farmers are growing their potatoes |
1:40.1 | which are then shipped to walkers and lots of people got like hard bits of golf ball in their crisp packets. |
1:46.1 | So would you sort of... |
1:47.1 | It would be on the green about to take your shot and a walkers machine would just nab your golf ball and whisk it off to a factory. |
1:54.1 | I didn't read the details of it but I would assume it's more likely that you'd take your shot, |
1:59.1 | it would go over into the field as you're a golfer, James, sometimes you miss hit things, right? |
