You're listening to Two Pints with Will and
0:03
Ralph, the Swift Half. Do you
0:05
have any stories about that? I
0:07
spend a bit of time in Birmingham. I
0:10
do stuff for Libby Mae's charity here where I
0:12
go and sing a song. What
0:15
do you sing, Will? I
0:18
might do Mustangs Sally, but I do do other songs
0:20
as well. OK, now, do you do Mustangs Sally twice
0:22
for a tenner? Just once. Big
0:24
Perises as in a ribbon. I've actually
0:26
got some fun facts, Will's... Will's Fun Facts,
0:28
let's hear them. It's obviously Birmingham's got more
0:30
canals than Venice. Did you know
0:32
that? Really? I didn't know that. I've heard a
0:35
few canal fans like that. We're canals! And
0:38
more dead bodies. We're on the map. More dead bodies in
0:40
them canals than any other one. And
0:43
also, like you said, more
0:45
strip clubs in Birmingham than any other
0:47
city in the UK. I found this
0:49
weird. Right. The world's one
0:51
and only 90... 90
0:54
penguin lives there in Brazil. Is
0:58
that true? What the
1:00
fuck is the knighted penguin doing there, Eddie? Why is
1:02
he knighted? Does anyone know why he's knighted? He
1:07
fought off the Norwegian army. On his
1:10
own? On his Jack Jones. Why does he
1:12
fucking happy feet get to fuck up? I
1:17
fucking dancing penguin, I'm not going over there. I've
1:20
got Will's Fun Facts. Will's Fun Facts. Nothing and Fun Facts.
1:22
Come on, what have you got? Well, you know, I bought
1:24
Mummy a phone, but it's one of them things... I definitely
1:26
thought you'd have some stories about who's, as I feel like
1:29
you're holding it back. Hey, did you know... Robby

1:33

1:35
fucking amazing. Unbelievable. Wow, gosh. And then

1:52

2:11
There's nearly a siege route. Come on.
2:15
We call it one pipe with will because I don't
2:17
want any fucking pipe with it anymore. You've
2:19
moved yourself right up again. It's only 750 feet apart. Yep.
2:23
And also, traffic light was invented here.
2:26

2:33
Cocky bollocks! From Manchester fact. Listen, listen, this
2:35
will get you... You can take this home
2:37
and tell people that you've learnt something tonight.
2:40
Did you know... Oasis
2:43

2:47
a... Hey, they are. What a dickhead. Eh? Is
2:49
that it? Is that your phone fact? On the
2:51
happy Mondays. Yeah. And, eh,
2:54
and... And... There's
2:57
another one. Did you know...
3:00
that the biggest football club in
3:02
the world is from Manchester? Manchester United.
3:07
Apparently... Apparently there's another one, but
3:09
fuck knows what they've got. Shite
3:12
at the moment, aren't we? And this is a
3:14
true phone fact. I read this today that the
3:16
word Mancunian... Oh, yeah. ...means... ...hills
3:18
that look like tits. I've
3:22
left you! I was like... I was like...
3:25
Hills that look like... So, basically... Anglo-Saxon words. We're
3:27
all a bunch of tits, basically. Yeah,
3:30
I've got a couple of fun facts here.
3:32
Warsaw was home to the
3:34
leather industry. Is that right? You
3:36
all know that. Many locals are
3:39
still wearing leather trousers. And
3:41
leather vests! Leather
3:44
vests? They said, I've only got a lot of leather caps on tonight.
3:47
Yes! I didn't make an underwear. Eh...
3:51
What? And...
3:53
Did you say thongs? Leather
3:55
thongs. Oh, could you imagine the smell? Eh... Yeah, and,
3:57
er... Obviously, I did a few... I did a so...
4:00
because usually I do Will's Fun Facts,
4:02
right, and then I Google Warrington, fuck
4:04
all. No facts. No facts, nothing. There's
4:07
more facts about new Brighton, I'll be honest. I
4:10
did find some bits though, because I thought, you know, it's
4:12
interesting when you're in a place to have a look. This
4:15
is quite interesting. It says, Warrington
4:18
last week was named the best
4:20
place for employment in the country. Oh, that's a
4:22
good thing. That's a good fact. And there's the
4:24
building a new talent centre and all that. Okay.
4:27
That's it. Good, good. I've
4:30
got a few famous people from here, so obviously you
4:32
probably all know this, but, you
4:35
know, Kerry Katona. Wait,
4:38
start at the top and bring it down.
4:43
Can I just say, by the way, can I just
4:46
say, we were in South End,
4:48
right down on the South Coast. Right down
4:50
on the South Coast. Now, Will
4:52
was reading his Fun Facts, and Will
4:55
doesn't read very well because he's blind. And
4:59
he refuses to put his glasses on because he's also vain.
5:04
And he also doesn't read very well because
5:06
he can't read. So the
5:09
collection of these three things, man, that's
5:11
where he goes. Hey, Ross,
5:13
South End has the longest pier
5:15
in the country. It does. I
5:18
was like, oh, wow, interesting fact. And then he
5:20
goes, it's 2,913 kilometres
5:22
long. I
5:25
thought it sounded long. I
5:28
went, fucking hell, Will! I
5:30
went, no, it's not. And in front of everybody goes,
5:32
yes, it is. Fucking look, I'm
5:34
not stupid. And
5:36
it's not as long as the entire East Coast of America,
5:39
Will. And then I read
5:41
it and I went, 2.913 kilometres long. What
5:43
I thought about it. So just think all of his
5:45
facts with a pinch of salt. What I thought about
5:47
it, I thought, jeez, you should be naked, wouldn't you?
5:52
I mean, that is a long pier. Six
5:54
months, walking my fucking crew. Never
5:56
a good year to go. It's probably not
5:59
great. Stretches
6:02
about halfway across that one tree. You know
6:05
the other hand, you're an amen.
