0:25.1

You are listening to Life on Planet Porky with myself, Mike, the Portmeister, Perry, and of course the irrepressible Leslie Ann Jones, known as Miss Jones to some, known as the Rocket Chick Extraordinary

0:45.9

thank you. How's your day going? Day's going pretty good, been hard at work on all sorts of
