| 0:06.4 | Welcome back to the Home of Common Sense. It's morning glory with me, Mike Graham. It is the big new breakfast show with me. |
| 0:11.6 | And this is week three, by the way. It feels as though we've been doing this for a very long time. |
| 0:15.4 | Glorious weekend. Absolutely brilliant. Topted it all off by seeing the northern Lights on Friday night. Never mind how great the sunshine was. |
| 0:23.1 | Never mind how it was like basking in some kind of Mediterranean ideal. It was like literally walking around as if you were on holiday. |
| 0:30.6 | People were in shorts. I mean, we did talk about men who don't wear shirts. And we've covered that one already. |
| 0:36.2 | So I'm not going to get into that again. But tell us your stories about the weekend. Did the Northern Lights get you going? |
| 0:41.2 | I've got this from Matt in Hove. Just type Northern Lights into Google Images. Problem solved. |

| 1:24.1 | Let's talk to Kinsey Schofield, Royal Commentator, of course, author of the To Die for podcast. |
| 1:28.9 | Kinsey, very good morning to you. Welcome. |
| 1:32.3 | Mike, congratulations on week three. I'm so excited to be back. |
| 1:35.8 | Yes, I'm so excited to have you back as well. |
| 1:38.0 | You know, you like me will have been absolutely, I'm sure, flabbergasted by the amazing, incredible sort of unofficial royal tour, |
