| 0:23.6 | Hello and welcome to MakeDup. I'm your host Amanda. Today we're continuing our story, |
| 0:34.6 | Finn's first job at the Commonwealth Games, and we'll be using an idea that was sent in by Jason. |
| 0:41.3 | Jason is nine years old, and he lives in Memphis, Tennessee, in the United States. |
| 0:46.3 | Jason thinks that the next competition between the T-Rex, the Godzilla, and the Million Cats should be speed climbing. I think that's a brilliant |

| 2:07.8 | Tickets had completely sold out, and the televised event attracted an unprecedented number of viewers, |
| 2:14.7 | surpassing every televised event in history, with the exception of the |
| 2:19.5 | 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing. Viewers had been particularly enthralled by footage of the T-Rex |
| 2:28.3 | standing patiently in a line at the savory pie truck after he had been eliminated from the game, and by an hour-long |
