First of all, tell everyone the date and the headline on a piece of newspaper that you're holding.

And then you just have to say who we are, what the show is, and then we'll get into some facts.

I've got a good one.

Nice to see you all after a long week that we've had since the last one of these that we did.

Yeah, I barely remember what you guys look like.

Well, actually, cast your minds back all that time.

We were talking about sumo wrestlers, and I have a fact here about sumo from Matthew Bright.

Matthew says that each year, professional sumo tournaments in Japan consume about 4,000 kilograms of salt.

They throw salt.

Yeah, so this is what Matthew's worked out.

So each tournament lasts 15 days, and they're held six times a year.

And each tournament consumes about 650 kilograms of salt, according to a journalist, which Matthew found.

And then if you work that all out, it's 4,000 kilograms.

And the salt is like to purify the ring.

interesting um and for like you say ceremonial reasons and yeah does it grit it as well does it give you good because a lot of it is about holding your stance you're absolutely right but the ring itself is like made it's got sand in it anyway i think which means it's quite well gritted but it can't hurt yeah especially on a cold day yeah

Why has that not been done?

I mean, that has to be a thing, doesn't it?

Have you ever been walking around London and just seen the sumo wrestlers?

He looked like that, probably.

Yeah.
