Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast this week coming to you live from Philadelphia!

My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Aniches Inzki, Andrew Hunter Murray and James Harkin

And once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order

Here we go starting with you Andy

My fact is that the star of the film Candyman where a character has bees coming out of his mouth

Negotiated a $1,000 bonus for every time he got stung

He ended up with $23,000

Wow!

How bad is it to be stung by a bee? Do you think you'd be deliberately angering the bees so that you've got a few more stings that have been mumbling or not?

I would, but that says more about me than it does about the...

Yeah, although in the mouth I imagine it would be a lot more painful and normal

This is Candyman, this is Tony Todd, this is a kind of cult horror film

And one of the inspirations was from the Johnny Carson show where there was a man called Norman Gary who was a bee-based performer

And he had an act where he played the clarinet while covered in bees

And people loved this

And he then became the bee wrangler, the official bee person on Candyman

And I think it's him and Tony Todd, they're the only two people to have done all three Candyman films

Is the star and the bee guy

Can you explain what Candyman is? Because I haven't seen it

It's... Dan, you're watching a child

Oh yeah, yeah, it's a horror film
