Is Martine pretending to be his girlfriend, or is she pretending to be him? We unpack this paradox and delve into Olympic History, debating just what the first Olympic Mascot would have been. And we prove, once and for all, that the We Fact Up Conversation System actually works! Sometimes. Merry Xmas from all of us here at We Fact Up.

Have you ever wondered how much you'd know without the help of the internet? How would you answer questions like 'who invented the high five' or 'what does OK stand for' without Googling? What if you had to work it out yourself? That's the game that We Fact Up plays - each episode we get asked questions by our listeners and attempt to work out the answers using only the power of conversation. The one rule - NO GOOGLING until the end. And have fun (ok that's two rules, but you get what we're saying). Hosted by Dave Zwolenski, Redd Peterson and James 'Martine' Blake it's the comedy/fact podcast everyone can play.

In 1986 something happened in Cleveland that went unnoticed, but it shook the earth to its core and changed the way we view balloons forever. And when you open an umbrella indoors people say it's bad luck but is that just because you might smash a vase, or are the reasons far deeper and more concerning?

Big Brother is back and we learn some of the history behind the show including who Hot Dogs’ secret twin brother was. Not before we talk George Orwell, The Balkan War and why we say ‘to give someone the third degree’. Plus Martine apologises for being a very naughty boy.
