Dan's Notes is a running joke in the podcast No Such Thing As A Fish, based around the reputation of presenter and host Dan Schreiber for introducing non-facts as his "fact" for the week. When Schreiber does this, it is usually ridiculed, but when other presenters discuss an unlikely-sounding fact, they will be accused of having "Dan's notes" by accident.
