Amazing reviews in Archive for this recording - none noting the missing passage, but here it is (beginning chapter 51):

If I say anything it'll mess up the number. Oops.

Now I need to post 30 more times to make it a palindrome.

Tadhg has looked into this and isn't able to make a seamless edit (different recording setup), so he's elected to leave it as it is.
