    This is the only thing that was left when our research team investigated The Mummy outbreak in Big Al's Salt Mine. Unfortunately the audio quality is quite poor. We determined it was incompetence on the part of the people recording the file rather than damage that occurred during the outbreak. We are still unable to locate the Salt Mine Radio workmen. We believe they would have wanted this here. A note find inside the envelope we discovered this audio in reads as follows:   "The audio is too poor to upload. We must never release this. It shall henceforth be referred to as "The Lost Episode". It is to remain hidden forever. In the off chance we die please upload it. We can get mad pity points for this once we're dead. No matter how bad it is we can get away with it. In such a case here is the description we would like: This week it's Christmas in September, a trick by Big Al to boost morale.
