Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from Up the Creek in Greenwich, London.
My name is Dan Schreiber.
Please welcome to the stage it's Andrew Hunter Murray, Anna Chizinski, and James Horkin.
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, James Horkin.
Okay, my fact this week is that this week's presidential debate was best watched with the sound turned off.
What do you mean by that?
It's just my opinion.
No, this was a study.
This was a study done by the Professor of Economics at Dartmouth, and also the University of Chicago,
so it was two people together, and they found that if people are watching a debate,
you can tell who's more likely to win the election by seeing how charismatic and how kind of relaxed and how confident they are,
but the problem happens when you turn the sound on and you're distracted by their policies, you can't tell anymore.
I can tell you for a fact there was no chance of being distracted by the policies being discussed last night,
so I think we're okay.
That's true.
So obviously I'm talking from a British perspective, so I can't vote in this election,
so it doesn't make much difference to me who I think I should vote for,
but it does make a difference to me who I think will win or who I think will lose,
