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.

My fact this week is that walkers, crisps only source potatoes that are grown far away from

which are then shipped to walkers and lots of people got like hard bits of golf ball in their crisp packets.

1:46.1

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,
