I'm going to be a little more handsome.

Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish a Weekly Podcast this week coming to you live from Copenhagen.

My name is Dan Schreiber. I am sitting here with Anatoch Zinski, Andrew Huntsomari and James Harkin.

And once again we have gathered around the microphones of our four favorite facts from the last seven days at a particular order.

Here we go. Starting with my fact, my fact this week is that when 11 time Grand Slam tennis champion, Beyond Borg, came out of retirement,

He had found this out and it's absolutely true. It was a huge comeback. He for some bizarre reason didn't get a tennis coach.

He found this 79 year old karate expert called Ron Thatcher.

He was called Ron Thatcher but he preferred to be known as Tier Huntsay and Borg called him the professor.

And this guy Ron Thatcher, he would always be accompanied by two ballerinas.

Always.

He had a massive hearing aid and he would always wear white and he always sat 15 feet away from Borg while he was playing, watching him through binoculars.

Was it qualified in any way to be a tennis coach?

No.

He was like a life coach to a lot of people in Hollywood at the time and Borg of course, when he did retire, he kind of went into a bit of a play by lifestyle, didn't he?
