following way:

that place ['ðæp 'pleis]
[t] → [p] before [p], [m] that might ['ðæp 'mait]

[t] → [k] before [k] don't question ['dзuŋk
'kwest∫(ə)n]

good morning ['gub 'mɔ:niŋ]
[d] → [b] before [p], [b], [m] would be ['wub bi:]
[d] → [g] before [k], [g]
Good God ['gug 'gód]

on me [ɒm 'mi:]
[n] → [m] before [p], [b], [m]
in business [im 'biznis]
[n] → [k] before [k], [g]
