That didn't work at all.
Let's have the theme change.
Hello and welcome to another episode of None of Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast this week coming to you from the Up the Creek Comedy Club in Greenwich.
My name is Dan Schreiber and please welcome to the stage it's the three regulars Anna Czazinski,
James Harkin and Andy Murray and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go starting with you James Harkin.
Okay my fact this week is that there is only a one in 800,000 chance
that nobody will cough during this podcast recording.
How are those odds looking?
Yeah so there's a recent study done I saw this on the improbable website and it was by a Andreas Wagner from the University of Hanover and it was called why do people not cough in concerts the economics of concerts etiquette and he basically found out the the probability
that a certain number of people would cough and I kind of extrapolated his data into the number of people who are here tonight and got it completely wrong.
I did hear genuine coughs there was one.
We put the idea in their minds now.
Yeah I have an unbearable edge to cough.
I know I'm very suggestible but this could really have spoiled the entire podcast.
So I read a different report that suggested that people actively try to cough more when they go to classical concerts.
Yeah what?
Yeah they find themselves just wanting to.
Well I knew it there's so annoying why are they doing that all the time?
I don't know I mean hang on you haven't looked into what their motivation is.
