Morning, everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today.

0:08.5

This is the moment where we can...

0:10.3

It's just between us. It's to go no further, okay?

0:12.6

If we happen to be rude about particular people, I warn you now, we are very likely to be rude about particular people.

0:19.1

And we do it tongue in cheek.

0:26.1

Not all the time, it doesn't, actually. It's a very old gag and I've heard it used on other radio stations.
