Failed Bank Chooses 'Wokeness' Over Stability
"Had to forgot man the article that I was reading through $83 billion from corporate organizations. Now that didn't go to the street hustlers all of it, it was these major corporations that were just that were just straight up woke and a lot of that was just fun fit to Democrat campaigns. I mean, it was a Money Heist is what it was, but all of these people want to virtue signal. You have to keep in mind that there are leaders, right? They're the people that will be the leaders, the little corrupt elites at the top at the top of the totem pole. The Gavin Newsom is the Joe Biden of the world. There's always going to be the useful idiots like an SB bank who double down on what was it? Was it? They doubled down on it says here had to have forgotten man. This from Justin news, as SVB investment failures mounted, the bank doubled down on its ideological commitments by pledging $5 billion in new green tech outlays despite signs of rising interest rates, negatively impacting that sector, some incidents, institutional and investors also began to raise concerns about the overall balance sheet. These foods were straight up woke and they were cricket as all get out as well, but this is all about creating a new morality, taking you away from government are God and bringing you to government. And here's what they want. They create these device of issues, CRT, DEI. Excuse me, the trans movement, and what these people, the useful idiots that they need, these people get all wrapped up in these issues. And so what these people start believing is, okay, they've got my back on this issue, so if they tell us that we should nationalize the banks, they're probably right there too.

German ice cream parlor offers cricket-flavored scoops
"An ice cream parlor in Germany has expanded its menu with a skin crawling offering. Thomas michelino has a habit of creating flavors that are far outside Germans typical ice cream preferences. He has a flavor sprinkle with dried Brown crickets on top. Because I'm very curious person and want to try everything. I've eaten a lot of things, including a lot of strange things, and crickets were something I still wanted to try in the form of ice cream. In the past, michelino offered liver sausage and gorgonzola cheese ice cream, as for the cricket covered ice cream. He says those who try at a very enthusiastic. I have customers who come every day and buy themselves a scoop. Jonathan Schwartz tried it. But he adds, you can still sense the cricket in the ice cream a little, so to speak.

"cricket" Discussed on The Slowdown
"At a reading recently, a fiction writer friend publicly making the distinction between herself and me stated. For novelists like myself, words are told. But for major and his ilk, words are jewels. That's facts. The litmus test to any writers worth is how much they cherish language and how that love is told or jeweled in the very fabric of a phrase. And where do we satiate this craving beyond our own deep reading? The dictionary, of course, is one thing to hear writers discuss their preferred writing utensils. Their design and function, refillable cartridges, fountain pen tips, point at nibs, Faber castell, or Mont Blanc. But it's a whole other tent revival to hear writers gush over their favorite dictionaries. I know a novelist who swears by his grand old Webster's second edition. Published in 1828. Then, there is the mystery writer who keeps her illustrated Oxford on the mahogany stand by the front door. And uses it as a divination tool at dinner parties or just before a date. With its 600,000 words, the Oxford English dictionary never fails to turn a mere search for word into a descent down a luxuriant hole of splendid etymologies and illustrations. For example, major from the Latin Magnus, meaning great. In graduate school, my friend Sonia was the first human being I knew to own a 20 volume Oxford English dictionary outside of a library. Thick tomes with blue binding and large, aggressive lettering on the cover. Sonja was ceremonious when retrieving its posh, slip case magnifying glass. I wanted that power. Still, at times, no worries exist to capture how rapid forward marching world. Life outpaces language. It is then we attempt to create fresh language. Or rent cycle words until we have a new purchase, an old concept. For example, for about a decade, I've been trying to formulate a word that explains the phenomenon of contagious yawning. It's a thing. And I'm haunted by this lack in our speech. It is what leads me to sing. In today's poem, a speaker encounters a near untranslatable Greek word. Yet seized its meaning in a beloved. An act of association that unlocks a key myth to explain poets obsessive singing. Cricket saw. By George, color jeris. TTV. Those twittering cries, the black bird makes, when it descends to drink from a pure mountain spring, in late severus. A word that seemed to draw on demotic roots. So obscure. I couldn't find it in any of my dictionaries. Nothing from Oxford's modern and Byzantine Greek or Liddell and Scott. Then, I looked it up in your eyes. Incredulous, as she turned from the kitchen sink. To enlighten my ignorance with the terse couplet, fresh from your girlhood. A song about what the cricket thing at the height of summer. The dripping faucet gleams like a source that goes back to those early poets who love to sing so much, they forgot to eat. So the gods turned the poets into creatures so tiny. That now they feed on the dew. TT vise. The slowdown is a production of American public media, and partnership with the poetry foundation. This project is also supported in part by the national.

Is Anyone Willing to Defect and Speak the Truth? Naomi Wolf Weighs In
"By the grace of God, have been able to publish the internal Pfizer documents, which a number of intelligent people in the world of journalism might read and might make some sense of, do you have so far it's been the proverbial crickets.

This is infinitely bigger than that. And so do we see any hope that there are any people willing to defect and come over to the side of truth and talk about this? I mean, there are now and again, you bump into these people. By people you mean in the legacy media? Well, anywhere. Yes, basically in the legacy media, yeah. Well, I think the most hopeful thing and I'm supposed to be non partisan but I just have to say it is that you've got some leaders in Congress now who know that this is happening to people and are upset about it and are talking about it. And that is only going to change the atmosphere tremendously. I mean, whether you're a New York Times hack or not, the Twitter hearings on Capitol Hill, you know, those Twitter functionaries who were answering to our members of Congress were scared and they should be. And every single person who colluded with deplatforming voices like mine, warning millions of women and girls about something very serious that just happened to them that could have been avoided. People like doctor Calder, doctor batra, doctor Alexander, doctor McCullough, all of the brave medical doctors who were smeared and harassed and threatened with being de licensed and were de platformed.

The Essence of Manhood With Stephen K. Bannon
"Let's talk about what it means to you to be a man. What is the essence of manhood? You've served this nation honorably in uniform. Here we have a picture of the naval officer Steve Bannon. You come from a good Irish Catholic family from Richmond, Virginia. I believe your dad was alignment. What is your definition? What are the non negotiables of being a man? I just think it's do your duty. You know, one thing I tell people about, I talk to a lot of young people about going into the military and because I say it's the best thing you'd ever do to serve your country. I know more, I know so many wealthy individuals in their 40s, 50s or 60s have really made in life and every time I talk to them, the one thing if they didn't do it was go and serve their country in that time period of your 20s when you have the opportunity to do it. So I talk to people. And when I talk to people, I say, look, the military is not an example. It's not Rambo, right? Rambo is a complete cartoon version of the military. The military, if you want to see the military, go watch 12 o'clock high. You know, a watch they were expendable with John Wayne and Robert Montgomery about taking off at a cricket door. These are individuals who are very quiet, very steadfast, very stoic, but understand what first principles are. And are prepared to make a stand and prepare to sacrifice whether that sacrifice is all the way up to their own life or their career or anything else. And that to me is very fortunate to have a father lived a hundred. He was just a blue collar working guy, but it's just that stoicism. And everything that goes with it. And so when you point to people, I say, if you want to see the version of that, you've got the William holdens. In bridge and the river quiet, you've got Gregory Peck in 12 o'clock high. These are examples that I always point out of people that are what I think is the real essence of masculinity. You don't have to be the tough guy walking into the bar like Rambo,

Carl Benjamin Describes Americans' Patriotism and Hopelessness
"Hear from lots of Americans. And they all project the same sort of sentiments towards me when I'm interacting with them. And I'm very, very tangibly aware that coming out of the patriot side of American politics is this overwhelming feeling of loss and of not quite bitterness, but a growing awareness that, oh, actually, things are not as they seemed before. We thought we were playing a fair game. We thought we were having the game of cricket. We thought that both sides agreed to the rules and we were going to play by these rules, and it turns out that one side is not. And it's not the Patriots, and so if we want to be able to say that America is a good, fair, decent country, that is run responsibly by people who take the interests of Americans into their own hearts and actively govern according to those if we want to say that America is a country that is law abiding of rules that is morally correctly organized, then the, as I described in the villains, who are currently squatting on your great country, they have to lose. They have to lose, and they have to lose to Donald Trump, because I do think there is something genuinely symbolic about Donald Trump.

ESPN Daily
"cricket" Discussed on ESPN Daily
"Lot of unemployed people. It's a small village. Right to play the roles to play the roles of bowlers. Yeah, of cricketers, yeah. And they didn't even so in cricket you have 11 players per side. And all the reports I've seen so far, I'd certainly the ones who are the police suggest that they only had 21 players. So they're actually one short. So players were players were changing shirts and going back out there as other members as they were going. The empire said walkie talkies, which is actually what professional empires have, but the information they were getting was not on whether conditions or on umpiring calls. Can you tell the batter to go out now? Can you tell the batter to hit the next ball straight up in the air and those sorts of things? Just blunt instruments of match fixing. Yeah, as clear as you could make it as organized as you can have. And so essentially, it feels like there was a tip off. Maybe someone to do with the coaching of the players, perhaps, but we don't know exactly at this stage. They then went and did a raid, and when they got there, they realized that there was something very dodgy going on, and I think then a lot of people coughed up to what had happened. A few people have been arrested at this stage. We don't think it's any of the major organizers. But yeah, quite a few of the low level people have been arrested, but there are certainly a lot of people who have not yet been arrested, or maybe won't even be able to be arrested because of the various locations they're in. Okay, so you have these laborers, you have these farmers, these unemployed young people all playing the roles in this theatrical production of cricket. And what you're suggesting, though, is that there are a number of details starting with just the fact that it was happening after the IPL had obviously concluded that you have tipped anyone who actually knows about cricket off to the fact that this is not real cricket. Yeah, there's no way you would know about cricket and would watch this and be fooled. One of my favorite little details is that the head little cones on the field. So like in cricket, it's a bit like pitching a ball in baseball. If you go too wide, you get penalized. And so we usually have let lines drawn on the wicket to tell the umpires when it's too wide. For some reason, they had cones on the wicket, like little traffic cones. On the weekends. When little traffic cones are not par for the chorus and cricket. What does it make any sense? People would trip on them because why would they not trip on them? Be the ball could hit them. Why would you want to have them there? And when you started to look, there was also just by the bowler, there was a pile of balls. And this way cricket and baseball completely go separate. Cricket is like the ball is the thing. The ball is supposed to last like 20 overs, 80 overs, whatever that may be. And they've just got a pile of balls near the umpire as if to go, oh, we can't even be bothered chasing that other one. We'll just pick this one up. Completely opposite to cricket. And then there were obviously little telltale signs of the catcher was standing in a position that no professional would stand in, sort of like a no man's land like he didn't understand it. There was a Fielder who was hiding behind him, clearly because he didn't want the ball to come to. This is like Wiley coyote, you know, painting something on a wall and road runner falling for it. The tunnel tunnel on the side of the canyon mountain. Yeah. So no way does it look like an actual tunnel, right? So I think very quick perspective, that is very fair. If you don't know anything about cricket, it's a really confusing visual medium. On top of that, traditionally, cricket was played in front of big TV cameras and done professionally, you know, that camera of God coming down behind. But what happened was I thought it's really interesting thing and I don't know how many sports this has happened around the world is sometime around ten or 15 years ago. People worked out that they could stream cricket really easily and put up the graphics at the bottom to say, you know, Pablo is batting with Jared, right? And the bowler is, I don't know, who's the ESPN's biggest right Thompson. Thompson's bowling to us, right? That he is. And so you suddenly have it all that, that meant that essentially suddenly a lot of cricket on the Internet and we're talking about memes of people falling over and embarrassing themselves. All this sort of stuff. Suddenly started flooding the Internet, right? Ten years ago, the line between what a professional broadcast would look like and what these things would look like was very stark. Now if you're on Twitter and you're Googling funny cricket moments or you're on YouTube or whatever, you're just as likely to be seeing the captain of Romania tripping over his shoelace and falling into the ground as you are at Colleen, India's captain smashing a boundary, because this is so much of that out there. Right, Thompson, yeah, bowling a wicked Googly. Yeah. All of this is plausibly presented with a graphics package. Exactly. And if you think about it, what you are watching when you're watching all these streams is essentially like dad league basketball games or like midweek softball tournaments. That's all it is. The only difference is it happens to have graphics on it and it happens to have a camera there, and these leagues are all around the world. So it has changed the way that people see cricket. And if you, if you're not a traditional cricket fan, I'm not sure you would instantly understand well, that's a proper production, and that is a bunch of amateurs just having a bit of fun in a farm in Gujarat. Man, okay, wait, so then the target audience, the target demo for this league in Gujarat, right? Like, who was it? So it's because we haven't got all the details. I'm going to have to put some of this together. I believe that this league has spawned out of the fact that there was a group of men in Russia who loved betting about sports who finished their working day at a particular time when there wasn't a lot of mainstream sports being telecast to their location. Someone worked out how to bring all these different pieces together. If only they put their mind to good, not evil. And worked out that they could put on a league that these people would bet on because it was a good time zone from India to that part of Russia. So Moscow was one of the places there was also, I think there was betting done in other parts of Russia as well. It looks like there were other parts of Europe that also did the betting. But there was clearly a telegram group set up. Yeah, and that's telegram, the messaging app, which also has all of these other features. A bit like a WhatsApp sort of group where all these people were involved and they were able to make the bets over telegram and also, if they didn't know anything about cricket, the organizers of our fake league, Pablo, were so nice, they taught them how cricket worked and also had a bet specifically on cricket with an online course, which isn't that nice. But Jared, you point out that Russia, right? Like implicitly here, it's not a hotbed of cricket fandom, just to be very clear about this. No. A very recent times the Russian government refused to classify cricket as a sport in Russia. Since then, they got that overturned, cricket became a sport in Russia, and then the congratulations. Yeah, well done to them, except then the ICC banned them from cricket briefly for not following the bureaucracy correctly. So I've recent times, it's fair to say that it hasn't been a lot of great. There was cricket in Russia. Because cricket kind of went everywhere in the 1800s. It was played everywhere, but then the Bolsheviks thought it was an elitist game, which it is. Sadly, they were right. And so cricket kind of faded away. I don't think so that the English class system was particularly popular in Russia in the 1900s. I could be wrong. So I am imagining now, just like the scale of the operation here, Jared, and again, far be it for me to critique someone else's scam. But when you have this many people involved, right? We're talking about dozens of people, or at least 21 people, pretending to be 22 people. It just feels Jared. This is kind of startling to me at least just as a matter of like, oh, you guys really thought this was gonna hold up this secret. Yeah, you talk about the play is obviously organizes. There was the video graphics team, there were the camera operators, I don't know if anyone had hair and makeup. That was the PA, the PA operator. So we're looking at now 25 30, maybe 35 people involved. That's now a lot. And you're talking about a very small rural village, which is probably part of the reason they had it there, they thought people wouldn't speak as much. So I think you're right. I think they could have probably scaled it back a little bit more, but you

"This $1 billion event and people around the world are watching on their streams and gambling on it, as you do with all sporting events, I suppose now. So there are these games happening, but something didn't add up, jerk. Can you describe what exactly that was? I think if you watched cricket closely, you could see that there's quite a few things here are wrong. One of them was just that the players looked far more amateur than professional, but I think the biggest tell Pablo was the fact that the actual Indian Premier League had finished three weeks before this game was being live streamed, which tells you that there's something not quite right. So the thing that this thing is supposed to be had already ended. And so what were you actually looking at here if you look closer? These matches were obviously fake. And when they were discovered, it was a huge sensation across the entire cricket playing world, which in terms of people is a very large percentage of the planet. Everything to you this sounds straight out of a movie. The story to beat all stories. The fight cricket league. What people were arrested after they were caught orchestrating nearly real matches to duke money out of Russian from color jerseys to walkie talkies. To halogen lights to hush Berkeley commentary, take of course, the league had all the thrills. It looks like people around the world might have got the link and we're trying to cash in on this league while being completely swindled by the most high-tech and maybe least high-tech fake league I've ever seen. Cricket is a sport with a rich history of subterfuge, fraud, conspiracy, drifting, whatever you want to call it, pretty much from the time it existed. All the way

"They're so incredibly diverse that really, if you want to study almost anything, you can look at insects. If you're interested in how insects are important in human and animal health, you can study insects that transmit disease or if you want to study how insects are important, the ecosystem, you can study things like pollinators and decomposers. If you want to study behavior, there's such a variety of different behavior that goes on in the insects. It's absolutely staggering. So I just think that whatever aspect of animals you're interested in studying and learning about insects are really great group in which to do that. So I'd encourage anyone to just watch insects and enjoy them. Even if you've got not going to make a career out of it, like I have, you can still get a huge amount of pleasure from actually observing the insects in your own backyard. You don't have to go far. And that's another amazing thing about insects. You don't have to go all the way to Africa and go on safari. You can go on a safari in your own backyard and see a huge variety of life going on a huge variety of battles of predator and prey interactions. All sorts of stories going on in a really small scale just in your own backyard or out in a park if you haven't got a backyard. It's easy enough to observe insects wherever you are. So go find some bugs. If you have a magnifying glass, you can check them out up close. Do you see anything unexpected? How many eyes do they have? How many legs? Can you see the teeth, those kind of bumpy bits on the back leg of a grasshopper or on the wings of a cricket? Any interesting colors you didn't expect? I bet you can find some bugs near you, and it is really cool to watch them. See if you can see those battles Kareem was talking about. That's it for this episode. Thanks so much to Karim vaugh head from the university of Derby. If you have a question

"They make a chirp when they're disturbed by predators. And for crickets, baby crickets don't hang out with their parents, so there isn't a lot of calling between parent and baby the way they are for some animal species. No, generally speaking, the eggs are laid and then the parents show them no further interest. And then by the time the eggs have hatched, the tiny crickets, which hatch out looking like little miniature adults because they have this gradual metamorphosis, unlike butterflies, they don't have a sort of caterpillar like stage in a Chrysler. They hatch out from the eggs looking like little tiny adults, just not having the wings fully developed. And by the time they hatch out, generally, the adults are either died off or no way around. There are a few exceptions, though, there are one or two species of cricket where the eggs are actually laid in a burrow and where the mother will is known to associate with the little tiny babies when they hatch. But that's quite rare. That sort of parental care type social system is very rare in crickets, but it does happen in a few species. That's so interesting though, that even within crickets, which are ones very small subsection of insects, which are already a subsection of all the animals that even within crickets, there's so much variation so much difference in how they use sound and how they behave and whether they're territorial or not, and even whether they raise their offspring or not. That's very cool. Well, absolutely. And that's one of the reasons why I've enjoyed studying crickets so much over the years, because like you say, like any animal group you look at, the more you look at it, the more variation you realize there is. Coming up, we'll learn a little more about insects in general, including why insects don't have bones or skeletons like humans do. And we'll find out what baby bugs like to do. This is but why? I'm Jane lindholm, and today we're talking with an entomologist, someone who studies insects. Karim vahed is a Professor of entomology, who specializes in crickets and their close relatives katydids. And he's been telling us some fascinating facts about crickets based on the questions you've sent us. But let's talk more generally now about bugs. Here's a question from lily. And my question is, why does insects don't have bones? Insects and relatives which we call the arthropods. Now the arthropods contain the insects, but also things like the crustaceans which includes things like crabs and lobsters. Also things like the millipedes and centipedes, and of course the spiders scorpions and relatives. The arthropods have their skeleton on the outside of their body. And that's the thing that defines them. The muscles are actually attached to the inside of this external skeleton. Now there are some advantages to that in obviously in terms of protection, so some groups of insects are hugely successful. Things like the beetles that have a really rigid external skeleton. And beetles even have a rigid pair of wing covers, which means that they can as adults, they can burrow into moist environments, they can still fly, they occupy virtually every habitat.

"So grasshoppers generally make sounds by rubbing a leg up against one of their wings. But crickets usually make sounds by rubbing two wings together, specifically their front wings. Crickets and katydids, they raise the four wings up, and then they basically rub one against the other, and by rubbing one against the other, it's a bit like running your fingernail across a comb to produce the sort of zipping sound. The little row of teeth are actually on the veins of one of the four wings, and the little scraper that rubs across the row of teeth is on a vein on another four wings. So it's basically moving one four wing against the other to produce the sound, and of course the speed with which it's done, the number of teeth on the scraper, and the number of chirps over time, all make the song quite species specific and distinct, and they have songs of different frequency, different timings, different numbers of so called syllables to the chirp. That's a number of times the wings actually close against each other per sort of set of chirps. So the song is a hugely varied across species. Let's really get in the mood and see if we can make our own cricket music. Grab a comb, the kind you use for your hair and run your fingernail across the top of those teeth. See if you can make a sound. If you have more than one comb, see if they make different sounds depending on how far apart the teeth are or how big they are. Now hand the comb over to one of your adults. Does your adults bigger fingernail make a different sound? All right, let's get to your cricket questions. Hi, my name is Jack. I'm four years old and I live in Seattle. And my question is, why do crickets chirp? Hi, my name is Arnold, and I live in a nominee. Let's go. I'm 6 years old. And I want to know why crickets chirp.

"Public. I'm Jane lindholm. On this show, we take the questions you tell us to find answers to and we, well, we find answers. Here in the northern hemisphere where we're based, it's the middle of summer and let me tell you, it is noisy. Even out here in the countryside where I live, there are a lot of creatures making a lot of noise, particularly that one insect you just heard making a racket. Some of you also live with noisy neighbors that kind of bug you. Get it? And today we're going to learn more about them. I'm a professor Karim Vaughan and I basically study insects. So I'm an entomologist. Karim bahad is a bug professor at the university of Derby in England, and he's joining us today to answer some questions you've sent us about one particular type of insect. Crickets. Professor vahed is an expert in crickets and bush crickets. Did you know you could have a career specializing in crickets? Well, Kareem bahad is living proof that you can. Before we get into why they make so much noise and some other really cool things about crickets. We'd better start at the beginning. What is a cricket? Crickets are a kind of orthoptera. So the insects are divided into numerous different kinds called orders. So one major order of insects, for example, The Beatles and other major order of the butterflies and moths. But the order to which crickets belong is the order orthoptera. Now the orthoptera contains the grasshoppers and locusts and also the crickets catered and bush crickets. Crickets are in a subgroup which contains the crickets, the katydids or bush crickets, and other groups like the wetters of New Zealand, for example. Oh, I'm not familiar with them, but we do have a lot of listeners in New Zealand. Yeah, the wet is amazing. They're like a really weird sort of primitive offshoot from the cricket line. And include some of the world's heaviest insects, the giant wetter of New Zealand, for example, which is absolutely huge. And when Karim says huge, he means huge, at least by insect standards. Giant wetas look like crickets, but bigger. Imagine a cricket the size of a hamster. It would cover the palm of your hand if you were holding it. There are several species of giant weta, and they all live in New Zealand, and most of them are protected because they're quite rare. Okay, but back to crickets. Their insects, they like to hop, there are more than 900 species of them, and they live all over the world, but particularly around the equator. And they're not the same thing as grasshoppers. One noticeable difference is in the feelers, the antennae. In crickets and bush crickets catered ids, these are generally very long, often longer than the body and quite thread like, in the grasshoppers and the locusts generally a lot shorter than the body and much more stubby. There's differences in the way females lay eggs as well. The crickets and catered. The female has a special egg laying organ called the ovipositor, sort of like an egg tube, and this sticks out of the back of the abdomen, right at the other end of the head. Whereas in the grasshoppers and the locusts, the females don't have a noticeable ovipositor, it's just a few short vowels that really don't stick out from the end of the abdomen. We also see some difference in the way that they produce sound. The sound production mechanisms are quite varied in both groups, but generally speaking in the crickets it involves the fore wings, whereas in some of the grasshoppers it can involve a leg rubbing against the wing instead.

Memphis Progressives Feud With President Trump
"I mean, they're complaining about everything. You had the progressive city council in Memphis, and they said, no security for Donald Trump. We're not going to be providing any police, and you know what that's okay. I think Memphis police would have done a great job, but they weren't even asked to. The south haven police department. They kick butt. I mean, they had it all, I mean, it was pretty impressive. The security setup they had. But the city council said we don't want him here. They said, we would provide, as a matter of fact, I called him out on it. Some guy named JB smiley, but he's always got a frown on this. I'm about to say it's not a very fitting name. And some guy named martavius, what's his face? Nobody cares about his last name. He's a loser. So anyway, you got these two black city council, guys. And they're bashing Trump saying we don't want to provide him security. And so I called him out, grace baker, on social media. And I said, well, okay, fine. What about Obama? Well, of course we would provide security for Obama. If Obama came to town. I'd say so it's about race. All right, I just want to make sure we're all on the record there. I'm pretty sure it was all crickets after that.

My son hunter is the film. It's about Hunter Biden's dodgy dealings. I say it's part Austin Powers, parts on the carrier part House of Cards. It's about Hunter Biden's dodgy dealings. It's about Joe Biden's dodgy dealings. It's an absurdist romp through Hunter Biden's drug adult past and possibly present. And it's true. It's true. I mean, the best source of a lot of it is hunker Biden's autobiography, where he talks about, I mean, this is a guy who says, I had to leave the board meeting of burisma every 20 minutes to take a crack hit, you know, to get some crack in my system. This guy was getting paid $83,000 a month by burisma for four years. He was paid millions of dollars. He was part of a $1.2 billion fund. By the Chinese government, he was getting money from the former mayor of Moscow's ex-wife, 3.5 million, he was money was just flowing in from these foreign sources, and he has emails. Joe Biden is called in for 10%. Joe Biden has come in for 50%. These are facts. So anyway, but that's the fact. Not anyway. I want to be very clear.

He is an I'll let you pet me for hours on end. But as far as like a spoon or like an actual cut, he didn't like it. I think that fur gets too hot or I'm smelly or something. Something that he doesn't done love full body snug. But he is issued a compromise in these chillier temps. And that comes with nice is that he will turn himself around. So that his back legs are up by my head and then he'll flop himself down and then he'll inch closer closer closer and then he'll just hoist his back legs on top of my head.

And so he would be like on his back. Legs against the wall. And it would be like, and talk about the sleep. I have never seen a dog like that. I'll tell you what, tugboat loves an elevated leg.

Six we did sort of cement. You place there's an open too so head at that ninety three to come about and then why didn't continue for for a couple of years. I played for straying office batting it. So the six five and six hundred. I ever go back. I come in the last four or five hours. It was a little bit frustrating. Because we had a good top water to be honest with. Hi coming rod in and get a handy little fifty six thing so i was a little bit frustrated but on that jordan new zealand. You're talking about ninety three from the test team and style one dies and said the united you want the batting and said yes. Of course i do. And then laws exists there the banning then pretty much start at the top there for the rest of mockery series zero. Wasn't i stayed there from then on at the top i remember because then. There was the ashes tour of ninety three. And you and allan border actually had a huge partnership in the one day game. I think it was headingley. Edgbaston where Robin smith might one hundred sixty in english innings. And then you and allan border you had one hundred thirty eight. I think eighty six and but that was surprising. Because you can open that game you think well on an actual when you apply you've got you've got the same score for the tests and the one is you know you pretty much from the test in one dies to separate same-sex probably the reason why deny they assume they went with Geoff marsh mc tyler problem. I think it was. I think hayden. Actually i've been heightening. Yeah well it's.
