0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast. |
0:15.0 | This week coming to you live from Dave's Lester Comedy Festival. |
0:18.0 | My name is Dan Schreiber and please welcome to the stage. |
0:20.4 | It's Anichezinski, James Harkin and Andy Murray. |
0:22.9 | And once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order, here we go. |
