Peach: Good morning world. Peach Pitt here with this morning's guests Ged and Ned Nuckledd. Ned: Atchilly, I'm a Nuckledd. Ged there is mostly a C-rox copy. Ged: I too am considered a Nuckledd, though I do not embrace the title as vigorously as Ned. Peach: Fascinating. So Ned, why do you have a clone? Ned: Well, Pitch -- Peach: Peach. Ned: No thank ya, Pitch. I had bananer for I got here. Ged: No, Ned. He is saying that his name is Peach, not Pitch. P-P- Peach like each, not P-P-Pitch, like an itch.: Ned: Well then, P-P-Peach it is. Peach: Just Peach would be fine. So, Ned, why do you have a clone? Ned: It's got a lot ta do wit DED. Peach: DED?

Ned: Oh yeah -- P-P-Peach. Ged: So DED lets Ned know his number is coming up and he'll be dead soon. Peach: Ned will become DED? Ned: Hey, wouldn't that be a hoot. Ged: Ghastly thought, but no.
