Hi everyone,
welcome to this week's no such thing as a fish Andrew Hunter Murray is off on his Holly Bob's this week And so we have been joined by the absolutely brilliant hilarious Kiwi actor and comedian Reese Derby We were lucky enough to get him
because he is currently in quarantine in a hotel somewhere in New Zealand And frankly didn't have a lot more to do with his time Now you might know Reese from Flight of the Concord you might know him from Jumanji and in podcast terms You might know him from the cryptid factor which is his podcast all about the mysteries of the world Which he does with a certain Daniel Schreiber as well as another guy called Buttons Who I'll be honest is really the genius behind the whole thing,
but we've got Reese and Dan on this week anyway I really hope you enjoy the show We had a whole lot of fun making it do check out the cryptid factor and for now on with the podcast Hello and welcome to another episode of no such thing as a fish a weekly podcast coming to you from four undisclosed Locations three in the UK and one in New Zealand.
My name is Dan Schreiber I am sitting here with James Harkin Anna Tachinsky and Reese Derby and once again We have gathered round our microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here We go starting with you Reese well in 1943 a spy who topped the Gestapo's most wanted list was New Zealander Nancy Wake Who once judo chopped a Nazi to death?
I Didn't even think that was possible.
I don't know.
Is it possible?
I suppose you can
if you could chop a brick in half you can chop a Nazi in half Can't you I suppose I don't I don't think she chopped him in half.
Oh, right Yeah, well, let me just check my notes.
Yes in half.
Wow.
I mean those are strong hands guys So tell us more about her well She was the and still is I believe the most decorated Female of any war so she's a Kiwi She became a spy now.
She actually left home at the age of 16.
I'm gonna do the whole bio now take me 20 minutes She she left home at 16 with 200 pounds in her pocket and went to London and self taught herself journalism and then She ended up in France And she was there during all the the Nazi build-up watching Hitler's Horrific actions in the early days and decided she entered she interviewed Hitler didn't she or at least she was sent to interview him I couldn't find out
if she actually got the interview.
I couldn't find that maybe she didn't quite get through the crowds Yeah, she's me.
Mr.
Hitler.
