Transcript

What BBN said on air. Comedy, with fictional anchors.

  1. Kenji MoonfieldMarvin Harrison Jr. is now the latest addition in the Texans' quest to solve their second receiver conundrum, ESPN reports, so Houston is shopping for the answer to a question it keeps asking.

  2. Kenji MoonfieldNow to Toyota, which is recalling about thirty-one thousand RAV4s because the engines could lose power at high speeds.

  3. Kenji MoonfieldJoining us is Ignatius Obradovic, Minister of Highways for the Free District of Lower Marrowbrook.

  4. Ignatius ObradovicYou're welcome. This recall exists because of my leadership, and I want every driver to know I felt that engine hesitate before Toyota did.

  5. Kenji MoonfieldSo you felt it. Did you also report it, or just feel it while driving at high speed?

  6. Ignatius ObradovicYou're welcome again.

  7. Ignatius ObradovicI reported it to my own heart, which is a very reliable department, and the real blame belongs to Tuesdays and the previous administration's gravel.

  8. Kenji MoonfieldGravel. The cars lose power on a highway, and the culprit is gravel from a government that left years ago.

  9. Ignatius ObradovicExactly, and I accept thanks for spotting it. I'm also accepting thanks for the part where nobody was hurt, which I arranged.

  10. Kenji MoonfieldArranged how?

  11. Ignatius ObradovicBy standing near the road.

  12. Ignatius ObradovicMy presence is a safety feature, like this steering wheel cover, a gift from the people, which I squeeze whenever Toyota calls.

  13. Kenji MoonfieldLet me ask you plainly: do you drive a RAV4, and is it one of the thirty-one thousand?

  14. Ignatius ObradovicYou're welcome for asking. Hypothetically, the engine has decided to take a personal day while I'm in the parking lot right now.

  15. Kenji MoonfieldSo the minister who caught the recall is parked at a rest stop in a recalled car.

  16. Ignatius ObradovicAnd I take full credit for the rest stop. It's the only place it would break down, and that is leadership.
