| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone this is James Harkin and Anna Tashinsky two writers of the TV show |
| 0:05.2 | QI and two-fourths of the hit podcast no such thing as a fish. |
| 0:09.2 | We'd like to let you know that we've written a book it It is called everything to play for. The most |
| 0:14.4 | interesting things there are to know about the world of sports. It's for you |
