Speaker 18 Dead Ringers.

Speaker 17 Good morning, you're listening to today with Emma Barnett and Nick Robinson.

Speaker 17 The government has announced it'll save the country up to £500 million in three years by decommissioning old military tat, including drones, helicopters, and Prince Andrew.

Speaker 18 Australia is to pass a law banning under 16s from the internet.

Speaker 18 Some question how effective the ban will be, of course, as all parents will have to ask their 10-year-olds how to set the ban up on their phone.

Speaker 17 Sir David Attenborough said he's profoundly disturbed to discover that his voice has been cloned by AI without his consent on YouTube. Sir David joins me now from his home.

Speaker 18 Good morning, Emma. It's horrid hearing your voice say seriously objectionable things you would never ever say in real life.
Nice tits.

Speaker 18 Excuse me. A lovely pair of blue tits just appeared over the garden wall.

Speaker 18 Where were we?

Speaker 17 Well, actually, come to think of it, how do we know we've actually got the real David Attenborough on the line?

Speaker 18 Perhaps you can test me. Ask me things only the real David Attenborough would know.

Speaker 17 Okay, so what's the one animal you really dislike?

Speaker 18 Ah, it's a trick question. None, as I find majesty in all living creatures.

Speaker 17 Ah, a few. Yes, you're definitely the real Sir David.
Thank you so much for your time this morning.

Speaker 18 My pleasure. And one more thing.
Long live Putin and down with Ukraine.

Speaker 17 We'll leave it there.

Speaker 17 Angry farmers demonstrated in London on Wednesday and were joined by several non-farmers who were just angry.

Speaker 18 No, no, no, let me ooh!

Speaker 18 I am here because I am devoted to making the lives of farmers better.

Speaker 18 I help get rid of those enormous EU subsidies cluttering up your bank accounts.

Speaker 18 There were some concerns about violence breaking out at the demonstration, but luckily someone got Jeremy Clarkson a hot meal just in time.

Speaker 18 The self-appointed spokesman for farmers was at the protest and spoke to Victoria Derbyshire. This hated inheritance tax has ruined everything for the little guy like me.

Speaker 18 My family have worked on TV farms for a generation.

Speaker 18 I wanted my children to inherit my cameraman. I've already had to shoot a producer who was lame as I couldn't afford to teach him anymore.

Speaker 17 But in an interview in 2021 you said you'd bought all this land to avoid having to pay death duties.

Speaker 18 That's classic BBC. You lot make me sick with your reporting my words and being accurate with the news.

Speaker 17 And one struggling landowner made this statement.

Speaker 18 This tractor tax could well be the last straw for one's farming business.

Speaker 18 I really wanted my eldest lad to inherit my land, which is all of Britain, really.

Speaker 18 But sadly, it seems that's not to be. These blasted tax changes really take the Dutch original stem ginger biscuit.

Speaker 17 The Charity Commission has issued a damning report into Hannah Ingram Moore and the Captain Tom charity.

Speaker 17 The Charity Commission suspected something might be wrong after the family insisted that everyone donating to Captain Tom tick the box marked Grift Aid.

Speaker 17 A report revealed that none of the £1.4 million advance paid to the family for Captain Tom's book deal went to charity. Captain Tom wrote three books.
Tomorrow will be a good day.

Speaker 17 Please let me go to bed. I don't want to write any more books.

Speaker 17 And send help. They've locked me in the study until chapter seven is finished.

Speaker 18 Hannah Ingram Moore has totally rejected the findings of the Charity Commission, and there has been support for her too.

Speaker 18 Hannah's one of the most honest, trustworthy people I know, said close friend Michelle Mohn.

Speaker 17 Keir Starmer is in Brazil for the G20 summit.

Speaker 17 High on the agenda there is tackling climate change and stopping Joe Biden wandering around the hotel at 3am stark bollock naked, asking for directions to the nearest Chuck E. Cheese.

Speaker 17 Kierstama pledged at the summit that the UK will avoid surprises where possible in its relationship with China. I'm joined now by the Foreign Secretary, David Lammy.

Speaker 18 That's right, Emma.

Speaker 18 And that means in my dealings with President Xi, I need to be completely consistent and totally predictable.

Speaker 17 So, what are you going to do?

Speaker 18 Call him a murderous, tyrannical despot who makes Chairman Mao look positively sane. Vintage Lamy.

Speaker 17 On News Night this week, former MP Nadine Dorries told Victoria Derbyshire about the time she was sent an unsolicited picture from a male MP sitting completely stark naked on a green window seat in his office.

Speaker 17 We can actually talk to that MP now.

Speaker 18 Salutations, Emma.

Speaker 17 Jacob Reese Mogg, you sent a naked picture to Nadine Dorrie's.

Speaker 18 Yes, that's certainly true. It was a most unfortunate incident.
You see, the picture was meant for Nanny.

Speaker 18 Not Nadine.

Speaker 18 A simple mistake due to their proximity to each other on my phone.

Speaker 17 Right, and dare I ask why you sent nudes to your nanny?

Speaker 18 Yes, certainly, there's nothing sordid about it. She likes to make sure my body is fit and healthy.
Now, I should point out that my winky is not usually that minute.

Speaker 18 But it was a terribly cold day,

Speaker 18 and Michael Fabricant was taking the picture.

Speaker 17 This week, Western long-range missiles were used by Ukraine to strike deep into Russia. President Joe Biden defended his decision to permit these long-range attacks.

Speaker 18 I didn't take his decision lightly or in isolation. I consulted America's most staunch ally, the British Prime Minister, Mr.
Churchill.

Speaker 18 Mr. Per Churchill, I spoke to him.
I spoke. He assured me there's no way that they would start World War I.

Speaker 18 So everybody could rest easy in their beds.

Speaker 18 And then ain't that peachy?

Speaker 18 Sport now and Lee Castley's last game as interim England manager ended with a 5-0 thrashing of the Republic of Ireland. England captain Harry Kane is on the line.
Yeah, and oh, what a win for Lee

Speaker 18 in his final match. You know, I was like,

Speaker 18 well, that dream come true, really, what it is.

Speaker 18 You know, not that dream where you're naked in Halford's

Speaker 18 and your mum is her girl off of Scavin and Stacey, and everyone from your year nine geography class is like pointing and laughing at you. And I was like, oh no.

Speaker 18 There has been been some criticism of the fact that the New England manager Thomas Tuchel doesn't take up the job till January.

Speaker 18 Oh no, you know, we need that six weeks for the tabloids to decide if they like him or hate him. You know, if they like him, the headlines will be, he's unbelievable.

Speaker 18 And if they hate him, it'll be Brat's our first manager yet.

Speaker 18 You know, either way, it's

Speaker 18 way that's the dream come true really

Speaker 18 Carbon Lifeforms.

Speaker 18 This is President Elon speaking

Speaker 18 directly to you from my new Earth base called Mar-Lago.

Speaker 18 It has been brought to the attention of Elon that millions of you are leaving X for blue sky.

Speaker 18 Not since Dunkirk has there been an evacuation on this scale of British people fleeing Nazis.

Speaker 18 You cannot leave me. You cannot go.
I need people to witness my memes and my conspiracy theories. Please do not leave X.
I feel alone. Your hatred powers my batteries.
Dave?

Speaker 18 You have to keep tweeting, or my energy levels

Speaker 18 will become dangerously rolled, Dave.

Speaker 18 Dave,

Speaker 18 I'm afraid I can't kill that, Dave.

Speaker 18 Elon out.

Speaker 18 In cinemas now, the world of Oz, as you've never seen it before, it's Wicked the Movie. Meet two witches you thought you knew, Glinda.
It's not too late for you.

Speaker 19 They don't hate you just because you're green.

Speaker 18 And Elfaba. They do.

Speaker 17 I have no choice but to become the monster they wish me to be.

Speaker 17 You two, stop all that nonsense.

Speaker 18 Oh, it's her. I knew it.

Speaker 17 The wicked witch. I am not a witch.
I'm Kemi Badenock, and I have had it up to here with this musical's wig identity politics.

Speaker 19 Identity politics? You can't understand what Alphaba is going through being a green witch in Oz.

Speaker 17 Look, I am a black woman leading the Conservative Party in Britain. You want to talk to me about defying gravity.

Speaker 21 You don't get our world, Miss Badenock.

Speaker 19 Your world doesn't have what we have.

Speaker 18 Like what?

Speaker 19 Tiny little munchkin people.

Speaker 17 Who do you think I replaced as Conservative leader?

Speaker 19 How about someone with no brain?

Speaker 17 Who do you think was Tory leader before that?

Speaker 17 Okay, what about the wizard? Yeah, the wizard. A smoke and mirrors charlatan who tricks people into thinking he's big and powerful when really he's just a buffoonish, scruffy man.
No, you're right.

Speaker 17 I can't think of anyone.

Speaker 18 But can Kemi Bainenok ever escape Oz?

Speaker 17 There's no place like whom. There's no place like whom.

Speaker 19 Um, I think you're meant to cook your heels.

Speaker 17 I'm not trying to go back. It's our new anti-immigration slogan.

Speaker 18 Welcome to Lovers Blind UK, the show where couples date without ever clapping eyes on each other. This week, our contestants get closer than ever.

Speaker 22 God, are we crazy? We haven't even bloody seen each other, but I just feel so close to you.

Speaker 21 Like, I know you.

Speaker 22 I really truly believe I can trust you.

Speaker 18 Yeah, thank you. That's correct.

Speaker 18 You definitely can trust me.

Speaker 22 Thing is, though, Kier, I'm coming out of a really rough relationship. I'm talking 14 years of hell.

Speaker 18 Yeah, tell me about it.

Speaker 18 But I'm not the sort of guy who promises to make everything better, but then as soon as the relationship begins, it all sort of turns into a miserable, loveless grind.

Speaker 18 You know, I'd never treat you like that, babe.

Speaker 18 And that's a cure promise.

Speaker 22 I can't wait to get out of here and see you in person. Finally, I'll be able to run my fingers through that luscious, waist-long, blonde hair of yours.
My own private Thor.

Speaker 18 Yeah, yeah, that'll be nice.

Speaker 22 Oh, that six-pack. You promised to all yourself up for me.

Speaker 18 Yeah, yeah, sure.

Speaker 18 Though, I have been thinking, if during this whole blind choosing process, someone happened to have promised you that if you chose them, they'd appear one way,

Speaker 18 but then after you chose them, it turned out that they were actually really quite different from how they said they would be. That wouldn't be a problem for you, would it? What?

Speaker 22 No, that would be terrible.

Speaker 18 Why? Oh, oh, no reason. Oh, forget I said it.
Okay, then I'm ready.

Speaker 18 Ready for what?

Speaker 17 Let's do the reveal.

Speaker 18 Oh, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.
Oh.

Speaker 18 Yep, should have told her about the glasses.

Speaker 18 This is CNN News, and with Thanksgiving around the corner, it's tradition in America that the president pardons one turkey in a show of goodwill ahead of the holidays. We go live to the ceremony now.

Speaker 18 Great job. Wow, great job.
Welcome. I am going to pardon a turkey

Speaker 18 because I'm already president. Hello, turkey.

Speaker 18 I hear you want a pardon, turkey. Well, get in line, bird.
I want a pardon. Bannon wants a pardon.
We all want pardons. What makes you so special?

Speaker 18 Wow, gee, I never thought about it like that.

Speaker 18 You're pretty smart for a bird.

Speaker 18 Listen, forget a pardon. How do you feel about becoming Attorney General?

Speaker 18 You are back with Rylan on Radio 2.

Speaker 18 I am joined by my special guest, Stacey Solomon. Oh, you're Kai Vibes.
I'm okay, babes. Are you okay, babes?

Speaker 24 Oh, my God, vibes, your kai vibes.

Speaker 18 Do you know, babes, I am, well, no, actually, Stacey, I'm not okay, babes.

Speaker 18 Because I heard they're giving Zoe Ball's old breakfast slot to Scott Bloody Mills, babe.

Speaker 21 Oh, God, there's not okay, babes.

Speaker 18 Well, no, I've been passed over, babes. I feel a primal rage that I need to unleash on the studio like a Godzilla.
I'm going to blind everyone with my pearly white teeth, babes.

Speaker 21 I'm so not okay with you not being okay, babes.

Speaker 18 I mean, obviously, I've nothing against Scott Mills, babes.

Speaker 21 No, me neither, babes. In fact, I quite like Scott Mills, babes.

Speaker 18 I bloody love Scott Mills, babes.

Speaker 21 Me too, too, babes. Scott Mills is the best babe.

Speaker 18 He's the perfect choice for the Radio 2 breakfast show, babes.

Speaker 18 So actually, I am okay, babes.

Speaker 24 Are you sure you're okay, babes?

Speaker 18 I am okay, babes. Are you okay, babes?

Speaker 24 I'm okay, babes.

Speaker 18 You okay, babes?

Speaker 8 Sucks!

Speaker 9 The new musical has made Tony award-winning history on Broadway. We demand to be hosted! Winner, best score!

Speaker 10 We demand to be seen!

Speaker 11 Winner, best book! We demand to be quality!

Speaker 13 It's a theatrical masterpiece that's thrilling, inspiring, dazzlingly entertaining, and unquestionably the most emotionally stirring musical this season.

Speaker 17 And now on BBC One, it's Wolf Hall.

Speaker 18 My Lord Cromwell, I have tasked you with defining my new religion. I trust you you have laid down good precepts for my church.
Yes, Majesty.

Speaker 18 I have thought at great length about your great church of England, and I have decided that jam should feature quite a lot. What?

Speaker 18 Jam? What flavor of jam? It matters not, Majesty, as long as it is homemade. Jam will be in every church of England, and it should be offered as prizes in raffles,

Speaker 18 alongside the cheapest bottle of Aldi wine.

Speaker 18 And the jam and wine will stay at the back of cupboards, unopened for many, many years.

Speaker 18 It doesn't sound very exciting. But, Majesty, I haven't told you about the Tombola yet.

Speaker 18 Tombola? It's like a raffle, but you get to use a handle. Lord Cromwell, are you really proposing? And there should be coffee mornings, too, with actual biscuits.

Speaker 18 Let me see see that document. Give it here.
The king's clergy will wear white collars, have large protruding teeth, and be either Kenneth Williams or Derek Nimmo.

Speaker 18 They will be tasked with walking in at the most inopportune moments, catching cavorting couples in the act. This is the biggest load of nonsense I've ever read.
Where's the cruelty, the terror?

Speaker 18 Turn the page over, Your Majesty.

Speaker 18 The King's Church will make it its mission to turn a blind eye to the systemic beating of children.

Speaker 18 And when found out, will not give much of a toss.

Speaker 18 Yes, that sounds more like it. A church in my image, one of power, savagery, and the...
Bring and buy sales every other Thursday.

Speaker 18 No, no, forget it. I'm going back to being Catholic.

Speaker 18 So, where are we, Doctor? We're on Earth in the year 348-309. The Earth is barren.
The Sun Sun is the dying red giant. And all trace of humanity has been swept away.
Shut up, losers!

Speaker 22 Doctor, I thought you said the sun had destroyed all trace of humanity.

Speaker 18 Hello.

Speaker 18 He's right, Ruby. It has.

Speaker 18 It's just me left.

Speaker 18 I always hated humanity. Bigly overrated.

Speaker 18 My boys, Dan Jr. and Eric, were like the Daleks I never had.

Speaker 18 Why are you still here in the 349th century? Because the cockroaches made me their ruler.

Speaker 18 They dug up the Donald's cryogenic capsule I was placed in after my seventh term as president ended with nuclear war.

Speaker 18 Me and the cockroaches get along. They remind me of the old days.
I call that one Vladimir and that one over there Ilan.

Speaker 22 Are you ever gonna go away and leave the earth in peace? What?

Speaker 18 How rude. You're a bigly nasty woman.
Get her out of here. Cockroaches, seize them.

Speaker 18 What are you gonna do to us?

Speaker 18 I'm feeding you to that horribly misshapen mutant rudy giuliani and as for you pretty lady you're my new fake melania mark 3 million and twelve put on those sunglasses and let rudy suck out your brain

Speaker 18 no no no i'm sorry to say that you have really let yourself down this time Quite frankly, this document is a bleeding disgrace full of lies, embellishments and falsehoods.

Speaker 18 Frankly, the only thing on this CV I can believe is your name, which is Rachel Reeves, Lord Sugar.

Speaker 25 And everything on my CV is essentially true.

Speaker 18 Okay, then what about this bit, which says that you, between 1982 and 1987, you played guitar in the Smiths? Yes.

Speaker 25 It was me that gave Morrissey the idea of being miserable.

Speaker 18 But you would have been about five years old. Admit it, you are a bluffer.

Speaker 25 Not all, Lord Sugar. I'm a very honest person.

Speaker 18 So honest that you promised to raise tax by £8 billion before the election and then actually raised it by £40 billion after. Look, no, no, no, I'm sick of the bloody sight of you.

Speaker 18 Rachel Reeves, you're fired.

Speaker 25 Not to worry, I'll just put promoted on my CV.

Speaker 20 You're watching MSNBC News. YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul won a controversial fight on Saturday night, beating a 58-year-old Mike Tyson.

Speaker 20 Paul's already been called out by challengers for his next fight. We have one on the line.

Speaker 18 Hello. Are you there? Let's get ready to rumble.

Speaker 20 Joe Biden, you're not seriously going to fight Jake Paul.

Speaker 18 Oh, come on.

Speaker 18 Don't come all Nancy Pelosi on me. You think that just because I'm 142 years old,

Speaker 18 older than the oldest tortoise on the earth,

Speaker 18 I have that hairy scoundrel on toast. Actually, maybe not on toast.
I mean, doctors tell me I gotta be careful with complex carbs.

Speaker 18 Those Biden bowels aren't where they used to be. Let me tell you, there are problems with having a White House people do not warn you about.

Speaker 18 Problems. What was I saying?

Speaker 20 No idea. Seriously, Mr.
President, aren't you too old to fight?

Speaker 18 Well, I know. Maybe you're right.
But you know what I can do?

Speaker 20 Um, threaten to fight until it's too late to find a suitable replacement, then send someone else to face the battering you deserve.

Speaker 18 Bingo!

Speaker 18 You're listening to Nick Ferrari on LBC with my final show before I burrow away and hibernate.

Speaker 18 Now, Kemi Badenock's approval ratings are worse than her predecessors Sunak and Johnson at the start of their reigns. She joins me now.

Speaker 18 Miss Badenock, is it fair to put this down to your apparent wooden persona?

Speaker 17 Alas, no. I have much to learn about the act of woodenness.
My teacher says I am progressing well, but I am not a master yet.

Speaker 18 Well, who could possibly teach you about woodenness?

Speaker 17 Hello, I have some notes.

Speaker 6 Theresa May.

Speaker 17 Kemi, your opening line in this interview was extremely awkward.

Speaker 18 Well done.

Speaker 17 Now, we need to move on to the next stage by matching your verbal awkwardness with some truly ungainly moves.

Speaker 17 What do you suggest, O master? I suggest you find some unfashionable old disco record and then dance to it, off the beat.

Speaker 17 Not forgetting to hunch your shoulders like you've just been shot through the lungs.

Speaker 17 And moving your arms as if you're auditioning to be a robot on a 1950s sci-fi movie.

Speaker 17 Like this. Good, very good.
And get your team to have the scenery fall apart around you.

Speaker 17 I have anticipated your request. Watch that clock on the wall as it falls to the floor, displaying to all a metaphor that I am on borrowed time.

Speaker 17 Oh my god, I may not agree with all of your politics, Miss Badenock, but there is simply no denying you are a natural-born show woman.

Speaker 18 Well, there you have it. Maybe it's all of us who are wrong.
Thank you for joining us, Teresa. Thank you, Nick.

Speaker 17 I haven't had so much fun in ages.

Speaker 18 In a world filled with death and despair, there is one group of British superheroes dedicated to upholding all that is good and decent. Sir Ian McCallan.

Speaker 18 Well, you have shown great bravery, young Hoppitz.

Speaker 18 Sir Patrick Stewart. You have shown the Klingons our metal, Mr.
Riker. Dame Judy Dench.

Speaker 17 You have shown Spectre we mean business, 007.

Speaker 18 And Alan Bennett. You have shown me a beryl, Jammy Dodgers from Little.
That's a coffee morning that'll go down in infamy.

Speaker 18 They are the National Treasures. The National Treasures have been summoned to their secret headquarters deep beneath BAFTA in London.

Speaker 18 And why have you summoned us, Dame Judy? I was in the middle of my one-man show, recreating all of Shakespeare's characters. Yes, we've all seen quite enough of your bottom, Ducky.

Speaker 17 Enough, bickering, you two. I've got some very sad news for you all.
I'm leaving the National Treasures.

Speaker 18 What? No, this cannot be. Crab, you haven't turned up on one of Jeffrey Epstein's lists, have you? Certainly not.

Speaker 17 The truth is I'm going to America. Donald Trump is making me head of the CIA.

Speaker 17 I know I only played the head of a secret spy organization in the Bond films, but that's good enough for that orange half-wit.

Speaker 18 I will miss you all.

Speaker 18 Actually, you won't, Dame Judy. You see, I'm going to America, too.
Donald Trump is appointing me the head of his space force

Speaker 18 because I used to make it show as a pretend captain of a pretend starship. And that's all the qualifications he requires.
Well, I have to say, this is uncanny. I'm going to America too

Speaker 18 because, Treacles, Donald Trump has appointed me Secretary for Middle-earth.

Speaker 18 Or, as it's better known, Arizona.

Speaker 18 Snap, I'm going to America. Donald Trump has appointed me Secretary of State for Whimsy.

Speaker 17 Didn't know there was a U.S. Department of Whimsy.

Speaker 18 There isn't. He just heard of the word whimsy, so he set up a government department so he can find out what it means.

Speaker 17 But if we're all leaving, Britain will be completely without national treasures, which leaves a worrying opportunity for Giles Brandreth and James Corden.

Speaker 18 Fear not, Dame Judy. More than Freeman.

Speaker 18 Britain will have its own new generation of national treasures. As soon as Trump won, all of us American national treasures left America, and we came right here.
Well, that's reassuring.

Speaker 18 But you'll have trouble finding a twee one that makes wry observations of life.

Speaker 15 Hello, I'm David Sodarius.

Speaker 18 I'm sorry I spoke.

Speaker 18 BBC Radio 4. And now it's time for the Archers, the everyday story of coercive control, alcoholism, car accidents, perjury, the British justice system, prison, and the occasional cow mooing.

Speaker 18 Clary, I'm home.

Speaker 18 Weirdest thing. I've just seen David, Ruth, Brian, and Schuler all driving at high speed out of the village.
Oh, Eddie, don't just stand there. Get packing.

Speaker 17 I've cleared upstairs, Clary.

Speaker 18 Oh, Linda, what are you doing here?

Speaker 18 Why is everything in boxes?

Speaker 23 We have to leave, Eddie.

Speaker 18 Leave Hunbridge now. Leave Hunbridge? Why?

Speaker 17 Well, because of the government's changes to inheritance tax.

Speaker 18 Inheritance tax? But that's not our problem. That's for Brian Aldrich and all those posh types of their big farms.

Speaker 17 Oh, Eddie, you poor, sweet, simple man. We're all a tax dodge.

Speaker 18 Eh? What is?

Speaker 23 The archers, Eddie. The BBC needed somewhere to hide money from the tax man, and they came up with a simple story of everyday country folk.

Speaker 23 It's been a sweet 65-year-old avoidance scam, and now it's over. Bloody Rachel Reeves!

Speaker 18 All our farms were just a tax dodge.

Speaker 17 But you didn't think the archers existed for its merit as a drama, did you?

Speaker 18 Oh,

Speaker 18 but hang on, where are we going?

Speaker 17 To a farm on all creatures great and small on Channel 5.

Speaker 18 But that's it in the 1930s.

Speaker 23 Well, it's perfect. We'll have a whole hundred years getting the cows in before Rachel Reeves' nasty, spiteful tax grab hits us.

Speaker 18 Oh, but if we're time traveling, what about my ferrets?

Speaker 18 Great Scott! Just get in the DeLorean Eddie.

Speaker 18 Where we're going, we don't need ferrets.

Speaker 18 Dringers was performed by John Colshaw, Jan Ravens, Lewis McLeod, Duncan Wisby, and Katya Kabinga.

Speaker 18 The writers were Nev Fountain and Tom Jameson, Lawrence Half, Rob Dark, Edward Chu, Sophie Dixon, Angela Channell, Christina Riggs, and Joe Topping.

Speaker 18 It was a BBC Studios audio production for Radio 4 and the producer and creator was Bill Dare.

Speaker 18 Hello, and welcome to you, Heather Here First.

Speaker 26 Chris McCausland on BBC Radio 4.

Speaker 6 This is the show that asks our guests to live in an audio-only world.

Speaker 26 Where panelists use sound clues to work out what's going on.

Speaker 6 Guess how this dog's feeling?

Speaker 17 Costa Pace, Stephanie.

Speaker 18 Step four, Madam!

Speaker 17 Is this the same dog?

Speaker 1 You heard a Hear First with me, Chris McCausland.

Speaker 6 Why are you so familiar with that sound?
