why is this a podcast just now I mean I didn't look into the history that carefully maybe this is on television 15 years ago but when I think of a podcast I think it's something that's really from, you know, modern up to the minute type info you know and I don't really get that from this this is horse feces... any along youse guys that be being of the special type person people have been reading books and paying attention have known for quite a while and I mean for goodness sakes it's about that rich dude getting arrested how long ago was that? I know it said I was emptying our shhhhter honey!
didnt he... I mean isn't he dead or something already I don't know man if this is u.s. propaganda it's pretty lame and if this is supposed to be investigative reporting it's pretty lame what I'm trying to say is I can't even figure out the target audience which is the whole reason I checked this out...

additionally, some of the speakers are fast and make the Russian language seam unpolished and some of the speakers make it sound like the beautiful language it is but there's a lack of consistency which of course is an ipso facto kind of thing if you're going to have different speakers but it feels a mite disjointed. I feel like I'm constantly having to switch audible's play speed so that I'm not either bored waiting around for them to pronounce the word or sitting there, still at the start stripe, watching tail lights slowly fading on the distant highway hearing the rattling tin can helicopter blade sound of my blown off doors making sweet, sweet love to lady asphalt...

I mean what else I 'posed to say? pretty informative (I guess... if'n you eight) the main thing is ay yi yi I love enchiliditos...
Angela details that make you want to eat on

stupid ro-bit Secretariat not taking my diction (this was also being a big problem last night, and I dinne mind tellin' ye!!!) properatingly, I never should have relaxinstated my regurgitation on consorting with those of the ro-bit race...

kids take it from me, they'll transmogrify you ever gal dang time!!!
