[When the transmission starts, there is only a voice. Judging by it the speaker is a man in his sixties or thereabouts. ...though speaking is perhaps putting it a bit kindly. The man is yelling very agitatedly.]

Attention! Attention! Attention! Attention! ATTENTION!!!!!!

THEY ARE OUT! THEY ARE OUT! THEY ARE OUTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ATTENTION!!!!!

COME HELP GET THEM, GET THEM! They are OUT!

[Aren't you glad the network translates lapdog barking into human speech?

...He does have a message. Somewhere under the barking. Probably.]

[It's a little later than the others, as every time Russell starts to listen, the ATTENTION startles him right out of trying. Eventually he tries skipping partway into it, to find the disembodied voices talking about minutiae like how the petting zoo is attached to a larger zoo, and that there's escaped animals that need catching. It's so... mundane, and not like he expects a break from sanity to go, that he finally chimes in.]

Uhhh. So, which petting zoo was that, exactly?

The petting zoo.

There is only one.

[He doesn't just sound condescending.

But really. Clearly it is the only one, because he has never been to a different one, so he can't imagine one existing.]

In the world?

[Come on, he knows that's not true.]

Does it have any... landmarks? Or a name?

[UH. He has... never thought about that????

What can he say-----]

It's near the Manor. The bus stop is Manor House.

...Moss Manor? Moss Manor Menagerie?

[This mystery voice is joking, right? Because Russell sure knows that place.]

[....???????]

Yes.

[He'll just claim that that is right. It sounds right?]

Right! Okay! That's great. Voice coming from my microwave. Animals, at the petting zoo, need wrangling after an escape. I'll...

[He has to go look, doesn't he. After hearing that and interacting with one of the voices, he has to go confirm this. Whatever it is. Chemtrails, or something.]

....see you there?

[Do mysterious voices like this even have bodies to be seen, oh god why is he taking any of this at all seriously.]

Maybe.

[He is most certainly not going to identify himself in person.]

...................Right.

[Of course he's not going to see the hallucination voice, why is he doing this?]
