this is kind of like baseball it's a game of subtlety you know in baseball you have the main plot between the pitcher in the catcher and it's like a russian novel there's a lot of stuff that goes on a lot of subplots the discussion between the third base coach and the guy on third base and so on that's what's going on here there's a lot of subplots and i see a lot of kids waving to their parents

been some wandering eyes on the stage so please just look at your own  slate keep your voices down and don't look at what other people are doing please thank you greg would it would it help if we could physically move yeah i'm five closer to team seven thus allowing yeah more person team four and the four person team three to move away from the worry just spread out a little bit we're cool ok

ladies and gentlemen now there are two teams the fab four which is team number three and the cherry cheat is as you might guess from the outfits the next word is consensus the problem with american politics today is that it appears the two sides can't come to a consensus consensus consensus ten seconds ass nobody loses a stinger nobody loses anything nothing bad happens because neither of you
