| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody, welcome to episode 60 of No Such Thing as a Fish. Just a quick announcement |
| 0:06.1 | before we begin. My microphone didn't work this week and as a result it has infected |
| 0:11.8 | the entire other four working microphones. So the show does sound good but as soon as |
| 0:17.2 | I start talking it's terrible. No change that. Yep so... |
| 0:30.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast |
| 0:39.7 | coming to you from the QI offices in Covenant Garden. My name is Dan Schreiber, I'm sitting |
| 0:44.0 | here with James Harkin, Anichesenski, Andy Murray and we have a special guest today. |
| 0:48.8 | It's the founder, creator of QI, it's Commander John Lloyd and once again we have gathered |

| 1:37.9 | in Iceland and the last one they kept put it in a museum and now it's in a hostel under |
| 1:43.0 | a webcam. How's it looking? It's looking fine because burgers tend to not decompose |
| 1:47.4 | very much. Yeah so I read that because there's a some father who's got really outraged |
| 1:52.8 | didn't he? He put one of his kids McDonald's burgers in a jar or something and filmed it |
| 1:58.0 | over the course of weeks and weeks and months and months and said isn't this outrageous? |
