Hello. Hello, children. Are you sitting comfortably?

Hello. Welcome to a special edition of the news stations because it's a Friday Q&A exercise. Exercise. You're sounding

very teacherish. I know. I don't. Get your exercise books out. Exactly. Kids. Pay attention. Stop talking talking in the back. Goodall. Do you ever work out? This is a complete tangent. Why? I was talking about this with our editor the other day. These are sort of like really in-depth conversations we have on newsagion. Like, why
