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 Anna Chazinsky, Andrew Hunter Murray, and James Harkin,
and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favourite 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.
Yeah.
Do you, how bad is it to be stung by a bee?
Do you think you'd be deliberately angering the bees so that you got a few more stings than a bit more money, or not?
I would.
Yeah.
But that says more about me than it does about, um, yeah,
although in the mouth I imagine it would be a lot more painful than normal.
So 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,
he had an act where he played the clarinet while covered in bees, and people loved this.
