K-pop demon hunters Saja Boys breakfast meal and Huntrix meal have just dropped at McDonald's. They're calling this a battle for the fans. What do you say to that, Roomie?
Andrew Hunter Murray· Host0:09
It's not a battle. So glad the Saja Boys could take breakfast and give our meal the rest of the day.
Speaker 20:14
It is an honor to share.
Anne Miller· Guest0:15
No, it's our honor.
Speaker 20:17
It is a larger honor.
Andrew Hunter Murray· Host0:19
No, really, stop.
Speaker 00:21
You can really feel the respect in this battle. Pick a meal to pick a side.
Anne Miller· Guest0:26

[upbeat music] Hi, everyone. Welcome to this week's episode of No Such Thing As A Fish, where we are joined by our good friend and erstwhile colleague, Anne Miller.
Andy Zaltzman0:39
That's right. Anne Miller, not just a QI elf these days, not just a brilliant producer, but a children's author.
James Harkin· Host0:47
Yes. She has a new book out. It is called The Monster Diaries. What's it about, Andy?

James Harkin· Host1:10
I gotta say, it's an amazing book. My daughter has been swimming in it for the last week.
Andy Zaltzman1:15
[laughs] Nice.
James Harkin· Host1:15
She cannot put it down. [laughs] And she's been asking for it to be read to her at every bedtime. I know other kids will love it too.
Andy Zaltzman1:22
And it's a part of a trilogy, so there's two more on the way.
James Harkin· Host1:24
Ooh.
