| 0:24.2 | Hello and welcome to MakeDup. |

| 0:28.5 | Today we're continuing our story, Finn's first job at the Cometwealth Games. |
| 0:33.7 | We'll start with a quick recap so you can listen to the episode on its own. |
| 0:38.3 | But if you haven't heard parts one, two, and three, it might be more fun to go back and listen to those first. |
| 0:47.3 | Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a big kid named Finn who didn't want to go to school. His mom said he could |
| 0:56.0 | decide not to go to school after he grew up and got a job. So that's exactly what Finn did. |
| 1:02.6 | He built stilts for himself and got a job as the person who decides what games will be included |

| 2:13.0 | The first challenge for Professor Pawsworthy had been to find one million cats, or, as he called them, Catholics. |
| 2:22.3 | Although other countries participating in the Commonwealth Games possess many lovely and talented cats, |
