Hey, hey, hey, time to put your middle to the test now.

0:04.7

Right, gang, got a bit of a production meeting. Got a bit of a production meeting before we crack on, like, before we talk to all the children listening.

0:28.6

Um, actually, that's the problem.

0:30.4

Oh.

0:31.0

We need to modernise to appeal to the Ute because I don't know if you've noticed, but the Jim Ququisition brand isn't
