Hi everybody, Dan and Andy here. We've got a couple of quick exciting announcements before the show begins.

That's right. We just want to let you know that this December we are going to be playing two live shows, our final shows of the year.

The Christmas shows, we're going to be at the Bloomsbury Theatre on the 10th of December, and we're going to be our old stumping ground up the creek on the 14th of December.

Yes, they're going to be so much fun. They're going to be Christmasy as Dan says.

There's going to be a live podcast in each of them, plus an extra bonus half bursting with your fix, with special festive things. Dan's going to do his tinsel twizzle trick.

James is going to eat us proud.

Adam will show you how to make eggnog. It's going to be a fabulous time.

That's right. Cannot guarantee any of that will happen however what we can guarantee is an awesome rock and roll night of nerd comedy.

So do come along to that, and if you can't make it, but you're thinking, hey, I want to still celebrate Christmas in some way with fish. Well, we've got some exciting presents for you.

Yes, we have launched a new range of lovely merchandise.

We've got beautiful new teachers. We've got a fabulous pinbite set. We've got the official fish book, which is a gorgeous guide to fish, and it's full of facts and games and puzzles and articles and stupid stuff.

We put that together for our tour earlier this year, and we think it's really great. All of these things are available now at no such thing as a fish.com slash shop.

There's a special bundle where you can get all three. If you are a fish fan or if you have a fish fan in your life, and you think they'd like this as a Christmas present, we think this makes the perfect thing.

It's all available globally, and if you order it now, it'll be there in time for Christmas.

That's right. So head to no such thing as a fish.com. You'll find links to those two December live shows. You'll also find links to everything that we've just spoken about in terms of t-shirts and badges and bundles.

Do get the show tickets. Do buy some Christmas items and do enjoy the following episode.

Ung with the show. Over the book. Hello and welcome to another episode of no such thing as a fish, a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covent Garden.

My name is Dan Schreiber. I'm sitting here with Andrew Hunter Murray, Anna Tishinski, and James Harkin. Once again, we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days, and in a particular order, here we go.

Starting with fact number one, that is James.

Okay, my fact this week is that the Ick people of Uganda are the standard textbook example of a selfish society where members only look after themselves.

It turns out they've just been misunderstood this whole time.

Yeah, it's so funny. Normally, when you say something's a textbook example or something, it's just a figure of speech. And actually, these people are used in textbooks.
