It wasn't great for Neo when he saw the black cat in the Matrix, but why do the rest of us think of them as bad luck? Plus we find out why Russian Astronauts, also known as cosmonauts, took a shotgun into space and how that may have been the worst decision they ever made. And that's saying something.

Where did to butter someone up originate and why do they call it firing someone?

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&rsquo;s two rules, but you get what we&rsquo;re saying). Hosted by Dave Zwolenski, Redd Peterson and James 'Martine' Blake it's the comedy/fact podcast everyone can play.
