Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the Eastern Border. Now, today, I want to start with telling you about the whole theme of the episode because,

0:21.4

oh wow, this, this took a bit longer than I had expected, and it's also one of the

0:27.6

weirder episodes because I guess we could name the team of this episode to be, how does

0:32.5

one fail a state? Like, you can make fun of this, but this is just, just I don't know lately I have seen so many
