I tried it before I knew what this was about, but the browser started
playing the clip while I was not watching. So what I heard was "Ba-(another
sound after this for which I have forgotten the phonetic symbol -- close to
a flap, but close to retroflex R as well)-da-da-da-da-da(with the last two
da da's being not technically describably by the phonetic symbol d." Now
having read what the "McGurk effect" is supposed to be, I am not sold. It
also seems strange to me that I have a masters degree in theoretical
linguistics, and yet I was never told of this "effect".
