Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast this week coming to you live from Newcastle!
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Anna Tyshinski, Andrew Hansen Murray and Jay Tarkin,
and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favourite faps from the last seven days,
and in no particular order, here we go!
Starting with fact number one, and that is my fact,
my fact this week is that Harry Houdini's dog was a professional escape artist.
Did they call him Harry Houndini?
Brilliant, very nice, they should have known, they called him Bobby, and Bobby was Harry Houdini's dog,
aka the only handcuff king dog in the world, and Bobby headlined the 14th annual Society of American Magicians dinner,
this is the annual thing that they had, Harry Houdini was the president at the time,
and he taught Bobby to be an escape artist, so he made him little tiny handcuffs that would go around his wrist.
Imagine if you were the second on the belt of that dog, you've been invited to the Society of American Magicians,
this is your big chance, and you have to warm up for a fucking dog.
Yeah, exactly, so funny.
But he could do, I mean it wasn't just the handcuffs,
he also had a little tiny straight jacket that was made for the dog, that he could escape from.
It sounds like an incredible act.
Apparently, I mean according to Houdini, he said he was a dog gone hit from the evening.
Yeah, he wasn't known for his jokes, come on, don't give him shit for that.
