Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast, this week coming to you from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
My name is Dan Schreiber, joining me as ever, the three QI elves,
please welcome to the stage is Andy Murray, Anna Chazinski 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, James Harkin.
OK, my fact this week is that Las Vegas hosts an award ceremony for people who make awards.
What do they get?
They get a gold obelisk.
It's the awards and personalisation association and they celebrate things like best trophy, that gets an award,
best plaque, that gets one, best plaque, and best sandblasting, that's one.
What is that?
I didn't look it up.
The US and Canada industry for awards is three billion dollars a year, that's how much people spend on awards, and that,
I worked it out,
is enough to give every person in the country a three to five inch resin trophy in the sport of their choice.
That seems a much better way of doing it, just do away with all the games and sports, just give everyone a trophy.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
