We Fact Up

Know your memes? Well you'll be delighted to know that our very own Martine AJA James AKA Blakey was once a well-known meme known as "weird kid in the tram shirt" and on this episode he divulges all the sordid details on how it came to pass. From being discovered by TheFatJewish Instagram account, to becoming huge in Italy and shared on every meme site from here to the USA, Martine's Meme days are something to behold. Also where did Pie in the Sky kick off and how much pie is in the sky anyway? Hosted by Dave Zwolenski and Matthew (Redd) Peterson.

Goat pageants, corn-shephards and the stealing of a sacred goat (could be the follow up to The Killing of a Sacred Deer but it's not). What it is is a miscarriage of justice and one that has been passed down through the ages and now, it just means to annoy someone. But who stole that first goat and why? Plus Operation Mongoose and the failed attempt to overthrow communist cuba. Hosted by Dave Zwolenski and Matthew (Redd) Peterson.

A rehab facility in USA is now using We Fact Up to help rehabilitate people with brain injuries. This is not a joke. We are as dumbfounded as the next person and to be honest, pretty honoured. In this episode we shout out to the wonderful people listening in the US and attempt to work out why we term people who are crazy 'nuts'. There's a lot of squirrel chat, obviously, and some pretty compelling arguments against nut-farming. Plus, why do we say "to be stumped"? Hosted by Dave Zwolenski and Matthew (Redd) Peterson.

Hosted by Dave Zwolenski and Matthew (Redd) Peterson.

The internet is filled with cats doing amazing things, but none as amazing as a cat writing a physics paper and passing it off as his own. What inspired this clever kitty to pen a distinguished paper on the physical world and how come he isn't running the country? Also ever told someone to keep it quiet by saying "mums the word" well the origin of this one will change everything you thought you knew. And Dave tries to explain Schroedinger's Cat. Hosted by Dave Zwolenski and Matthew (Redd) Peterson.

We have a competition running and the winner will get to write Martine's Tinder Profile for 1 week. Get on board and help him find the weird little family of his dreams. Also there was a pope in the 1400s who wrote erotica before he became a pope and that's something that needs to be examined, don't you think? Plus why would anyone invent the term 'Bees Knees' and how were they expecting that to be used in every day life? Hosted by Dave Zwolenski and Matthew (Redd) Peterson.

Really hope PETA is listening to this one as there may be some serious advocating for pigs parachuting out of planes, which we of course would never condone, but it does make for some funny chat. Swine flu, war pigs, and how Redd would fair as the general in the war of the pigs are all up for discussion. Spoiler - he would not go well. Hosted by Dave Zwolenski and Matthew (Redd) Peterson.

If you've got Buckley's chance, you've got nothing, nada, no possibility whatsoever of achieving your pre-determined goal. For example you could say Australia have Buckley's chance at making it through the world cup. But who was the original Buckley and why were their chances so slim? And if something's a cake walk is it a walk in the cake? No, most likely not, that's ridiculous, why would you think such things? Silly. What you will discover in this episode is just what a cakewalk is and how you too can enjoy one. Hosted by Dave Zwolenski and Matthew (Redd) Peterson.
