| 0:00.0 | Okay, folks, welcome to the latest edition, the latest episode, the latest daring chapter of life on planet Porky, with myself, the Porkmeister, and of course, rock chick writer extraordinaire, Ms. Leslie and Jones. |
| 0:39.3 | Ms. Jones, a very good day to you. |
| 0:44.3 | Good day to you, Mr. Parry. How's it going? Yeah, pretty good. Yeah, going pretty good. Thank you. Well, I say that. As you know, I'm an Everton fan. And when people tune into this, we will be, I'm estimating, 36 hours away from Oblivion. Everton play Crystal |
| 0:59.1 | Palace at home this week and we really have got to beat them. And Crystal Palace is quite a useful |

| 1:42.5 | Oh, yeah, you say that. |
| 1:43.6 | Leeds, 17 years it took |
| 1:45.3 | them to get back. Nottingham Forest have never got back since the last time. Anyway, look, |
| 1:49.7 | it's too sad to talk about. Let's talk about something much more cheerful, right? This coming |
| 1:53.7 | weekend, the Sunday Times Rich List comes out. It does on an annual basis, and it was started, |
