Hello, newscasters. Adam is on holiday, so newscast has dipped into the transfer market and

we have hired a galactico for this week's episode. In the name of James Cook, the BBC Scotland

editor. Welcome, James. Thanks so much. Now, James, your former beat was in North America,

wasn't it? And just wanted to play this, which is quite a moment from a hurricane. I think

it was in Hawaii, wasn't it? Where you had something of an encounter with a tree.

The latest forecast suggests that I will skirt the big island in around 12 hours time before

brushing past Maui on its way to Hawaii.

I'm alright. I'm alright. Yeah. I'm fine. Well, that was unexpected.

Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, I'm alright. Don't move it. Don't move it. Obviously, I just

climb out. That's a climb out. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, it's my laptop.

James, that's the first time I've heard that. That is extraordinary.

Oh, people's castes you don't know. What happened?

So it was Hanukkahne Lane in Hawaii in 2018 and I was recording for radio and I decided

that it didn't sound very hurricaney. The hurricane hadn't really arrived.

And so I thought, I'd just been live on the today program. I thought, I'll cross the

road and I'll sit on the pavement underneath these trees because there's a nice sort of

wush inside. Get the sound effects. Yeah. Bit of ambience.

Dedication. I like this style. And I was recording. That was being recorded in London.

That was me filing a report for the morning radio and use bulletins. That was in fact

for the world service. And as you can hear, the cheetahs just go crack and it comes down

right on my head and honestly, I mean, everybody laughed about it afterwards.
