0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast this
0:18.6	week coming to you from the Wardolf Astoria Hotel in Central London. My name is Dan Shrybrand
0:24.2	sitting here with Andy Murray, Alex Bell and our special guest Australian scientist author of
0:30.1	great named books like House of Carls, Game of Nones, 50 Shades of Grey Matter. It's Dr.
0:35.7	Carl Krzyszal Nitski.

1:31.4	I really like that a lot of them can still eat chicken and fish just like most semi-committed
1:35.5	vegetarians.
1:36.7	Well, still like, no, I'm allergic to all me well. I mean, I'm not allergic to fish or chicken.
1:41.0	And it's the worst punishment for an Australian, imagine all. Not being able to have a barbecue.
1:44.9	Oh, yeah. We're going to have a barbecue. So I'm checking in the fish barbecue only.
1:49.5	Yeah. So what happens is that there's a bandicoot and it's carrying around in its blood,
