He's just really into the music is the way we work it out. James

Ding ding ding on Dhe. His assistant, Laura.
Speaker 1

Speaker 2
James, I think that maybe the first time you've ever been sexually excited by the prospect of two women together
Speaker 1
what on earth gave you that impression?
Speaker 2
Just what you said. It just felt you had
Speaker 1
a little flurry of excitement for a woman. You together,
Speaker 2
we'll ask for the moon.
Speaker 1
I'm just thinking about all the women in the book. But you will. I think the lady's
right, lady night. So there's been Belinda, obviously. Giselle, obviously. Stunner. Yes, Della, Get take a leave. She didn't get loads at the auction. Did cheese duchess old and saggy Know that old guy? I also know that she had quite a good hardly saw her age
Speaker 2
is what Rocky actually said.
Speaker 1
Not soggy. Sadly, son. So she was definitely sake. A calendar?
Yeah, I guess I got a little flurry of excitement because Laura's feels like Gisele levels of fit. We haven't had that for a while. Yeah, because there's a lot of filler isn't I love that you're just
Speaker 2
getting that from the name Laura. There's been no description of her yet.
Speaker 1
Russian women are beautiful. May presume she's Russian.
Speaker 2
Yeah. Belinda, meet Griego Kurlansky at his assistant, Laura. By the way, this gentleman is the biggest supplier of quality Russian vodka and caviar to my organization.
Speaker 1
To his pots and pans company Through the cantina. Peters is a fucking amazing the biggest supplier.
Speaker 2
The extremely bear like Greek or Kalinowski.
Speaker 1
Oh, Harry Fraud
Speaker 2
moved ponderously to his feet, stubbed out a cigar and kissed Belinda's profit hand bit scared of regal using just
Speaker 1
sounds big and hairy. Eight foot three. Hagrid? Yes, I think it's Robbie Coltrane.
Speaker 2
She recoiled at the grease left by his lips.
Speaker 1
The from the caviar or the lip bowl. You know what I was thinking off? You know the guy. The evil guy in Pinocchio. Oh, yes. Stromboli. Stromboli! I'm thinking of Stromboli. Excellent! Julia Gracie Lips. He just was. He was Russian, right? Maybe when they know all Italian
guys, I don't know. I've only read it. Shut up. Think
Speaker 2
of what? The original German trends in Germany.
She recoiled at the grease left by his lips.
Speaker 1
How do you have greasy lips? Maybe it is so greasy that it trickles down to Oh, Gross. I don't like her.
Speaker 2
I like hope goes. She recoiled at the grease left by his lips, but regained her composure almost immediately. Thinking Russian entrepreneur, Surely he has needs for pots
Speaker 1
thing. Businessman's gonna eat.
Speaker 2
Well, Quiet. Surely he has a need for pots and pans. Russia is a big
Speaker 1
place. They love for the soup of stewed. That Google is a big place after
Speaker 2
the big place needs parts. And
Speaker 1
he's just a man who sells caviar. How's he gonna help? Exactly? Yeah, You cannot help her any effects from Russia? I just wondered. No, Uh,
Speaker 2
thank goodness I'm in a casino. Surely my luck is well and truly in this night.
Speaker 1
I'm impressed by how loose it years. I know she's making some funny jokes. She dressed, though don't knows, don't not comfort
Speaker 2
and also with the jokes. She's formulating a business plan. And I heard
Speaker 1
Peter would usually be before ing if she was making even even a hint of a joke. English
Speaker 2
meet Laura. Why so to speak. Right hand man
Speaker 1
Peter. Come and
Speaker 2
join us for a drink.
Speaker 1
English meat. What? What
Speaker 2
he's calling Belinda English,
Speaker 1
but make my business. Hey, Laura, meet my right hand man.
Speaker 2
No English. Meet Laura, my so to speak. Right hand man Peter. Come and join us for a drink. It is confusing, to be fair, but basically he's saying to Belinda, Come and meet Laura
Speaker 1
and he's already got her nickname.
Speaker 2
Yes, he's gone. You're English in an offensive xenophobic way on dhe. Lauren is his kind of, I guess Assistant slash,
Speaker 1
slash Gonna be MD invited
Speaker 2
and Peter during the free drinks. So they're all together having fun. Belinda and Peter walked over to their table. But Linda sat down opposite Grieco and crossed her long legs. She was going to make sure her body language said what she couldn't.
Speaker 1
What? She's totally nude. So what does that tell him? I can't really say anything. She's terrible at verbal communication. Should never speak some him. Your body can do something.
Speaker 2
You look so delightful English, the Russians said. You suit black and your breasts stick out so nicely. Better than Laura's
Speaker 1
Black. She's wearing black now.
Speaker 2
I think she's put the dress back on.
Speaker 1
Well, it would be nice to know it was black and crumpled and like it was definitely
Speaker 2
in her briefcase. But I think it was blunt here. I thought was see through sheer, but but black
Speaker 1
Okay, teams. That was actually a blast. Black Peter's office.
Our poor Laura. She's has been downgraded S
Speaker 2
O. This is another thing of Belinda's breast being described as better than another Correct.
Speaker 1
It's a very competitive way that Rocky describes them, isn't it?
Speaker 2
I mean, I don't want to think that my dad judges breasts on a daily basis, but clearly he does. It
Speaker 1
sounds like he's seen more than its fair share We've all got the Internet. Even Rocky can spell porn.
You can
Speaker 2
spell it. You can't write it.
Speaker 1
Certainly. Last we forget
Speaker 2
that we are Mr Stay in 2030. Lest we forget. Rocky Flintstone wrote poor. We should
Speaker 1
have a Flintstone day. We should set a Flintstone day because his birthday with you like the fifth, right?
Speaker 2
So that was a while ago now.
Speaker 1
But maybe that should be Flintstone day every year, don't you think? What do we do on that day? We got the day off. We spelling correctly way. Get out of our tree on wine. Unwind
Speaker 2
Mysterion Chardonnay. Please call if we just get totally naked and just have some fun suggestions on the postcard. Everybody. Cinnamon. You look so delightful. English. The Russians said you suit black and your breasts stick out so nicely better than Laura's. He laughed and looked at both women with a derisory sneer.
Speaker 1
Sergeant. Mystic pig. I hate him. Good. Well spotted. Early doors. Yeah. Good for you, Jim. Well, he was greasy. And Harry
Speaker 2
and those people could be nice and not misogynistic. That's true. But in this case,
Speaker 1
James is dated. Enough of them.
Speaker 2
Well, they're all misogynists, your favorite
Lara, quickly dejected in perfect English with a heavy Russian accent. He's a Russian slob on the sooner you turn around and walk out of this casino, that better it will be for you. Oh
Speaker 1
God, this is no, I don't like
Speaker 2
Greek or hastily added. Now, Now, now, Laura, don't be so hasty. Peter has told me This is no ordinary girl. She demands respect. She's a sales director on. We need them to further our business goals, don't we, Laura?
Speaker 1
Well, I think all the women deserve respect, actually,
Speaker 2
irrespective of their role in the company.
Speaker 1
Thank you,
Speaker 2
Greek. Or look directly at Laura. And she nodded hesitantly, saying, Yes, we do, even if they are English. Beautiful but stupid.
Speaker 1
She was born in her. I thought she was part of the sisterhood and saying, I get out of here double quick, like, just threatened. So she's saying English women beautiful.
Speaker 2
Which stupid? Yeah, which is absolutely outrageous.
Speaker 1
Although in this case, the clinic is pretty thick there. Yeah,
Speaker 2
she is a
Speaker 1
good job. I mean, we know how she got that job. Exactly. No brains were required. No. No way.
Speaker 2
Yes, we do. Even if they're English. Beautiful but stupid
Speaker 1
powers. A feisty little one, isn't she?
Speaker 2
Now that's settled. Please join us for a session of the tables. Lara and I would love to get to know you better.
Speaker 1
Well, it's already got off to a bit of a rough start. That's not how you treat guests, is it,
Speaker 2
but in the smarter Peter and said, Yes, I will no doubt be very enlightening. That is good Greek or snap his fingers. I ordered four dry martinis.
Speaker 1
Oh, nice.
Speaker 2
I understand you represent one of the market leaders in cooking implements. Do you have any representation in Russia or its Confederacy?
Speaker 1
Ease. I mean, where to begin?
Speaker 2
Do you have any representation? Russia or its Confederacy ease.
Speaker 1
I don't think she does to Shay. She's not mentioned it before.
Speaker 2
Belinda shook her head and said, It's a geographic region we've been considering. Because of its fragmentation. We've been unable to appoint a
Speaker 1
sooth fragmentation. Seven kingdoms of Western.
Speaker 2
Belinda shook her head and said, It's a geographic region we've been considering. But because of its fragmentation, we've been unable to appoint a suitable distributor or trust and major sales outlet.
Speaker 1
I mean, it's a fair point. It is fragmented. It is. But you want to conquer Russia Geographic region. We've considered it's Russia is. It's a brick nation. It's not like Boxer
uh, It's
Speaker 2
a geographic region we've been considering, but because
Speaker 1
of its
Speaker 2
fragmentation, we've been unable to appoint a suitable distributor or trust a major sales out. But good answer English, because you have not met me, that is, until tonight. Obviously, I would like to do business with you, and I think it could be very profitable for us both. If do business, he means, Do you? Do you do the business in the red light district like
Speaker 1
we're right by the red light district
Speaker 2
of cash on the side.
Speaker 1
They're gonna whack Belinda in a window probably would
never have seen the line.
Speaker 2
I would like to do business with you, and I think it could be very profitable for us both. Belinda turned her legs toward Regal
Speaker 1
turned facing home as it waas. Either way, it doesn't matter unless she's about to open them up. In a Sharon Stone styling,
Speaker 2
Belinda turned her legs towards Greek all she instinctively uncross them. What's at the same time, very slowly opened them slightly.
Speaker 1
There. You guys say textbook.
Speaker 2
The split in her evening gown fell between her legs,
Speaker 1
fell between a split
Speaker 2
on, revealed her rep a thighs, greed or coughed.
And Belinda knew she had him on the hook. Well, she had to do was real him in and share the rest of the evening to do that, which doesn't
Speaker 1
is like midnight at the absolute earliest. She's just forgotten the whole episode happened at the restaurant.
Speaker 2
Also, how is someone coughing side that you've got them?
Speaker 1
Unless it was a uh yeah, I think it's more that than we did before. You've got quite
Speaker 2
a good call for the vote of dollars,
Speaker 1
wasn't it? Is just focus on a really, really comes from my soul.
Speaker 2
Grieco coughed. Thank you on. Belinda knew all she had to do was real him in and she had the rest of the evening to do that. But what should she do about Laura? That was the question. How could she make her her friend and not our enemy? The total frenemies Already only Belinda was too savvy to realize she couldn't bypass er. She was obviously the guardian of the gate.
But Perhaps you could use Peter to achieve her ends with Greek or she
Speaker 1
suddenly decided, like she's got this big mission with Regal you when you're drunk
Speaker 2
and you think that something is really, really important and you're, like, passionate and it is gonna happen, we're gonna change the world. You wake up saying,
Speaker 1
and you also think you've done a really rousing, eloquent monologue and actually
Speaker 2
got a rush job.
Speaker 1
Perhaps you could
Speaker 2
use Peter to achieve her ends with Greek, all
Speaker 1
as little bait, maybe for Laura, Then what
Speaker 2
the hell it was whether try on, Belinda started to put her thoughts into action. Peter turn to Belinda and whispered, You may have now gathered that I'm very key in on sexual fantasies. I was just sick in my mouth on that. My aim is to make any woman I want my own. Belinda nodded, unsure where there's a whispered conversation was going to lead on thought of Peter's prowess, it falling deeply asleep at the horse and jockey what Aaron's
Speaker 1
here. Yeah, well, that was a bit insulting of him.
Speaker 2
Belinda nodded, unsure what this whispered conversation was going to lead, and thought of Peter's prowess that falling deeply asleep at the horse and jockey. Unfortunately, my plans futile. I have changed because of Greek wars. Unannounced visit.
Speaker 1
It wasn't announced. Visit there was in the same way about each other.
Speaker 2
You see, Laura's with him, which rarely ever happens.
Speaker 1
She's the guardian of the gate. She's never with him.
Speaker 2
I need to seduce her, make her one of my favorites and reluctantly leave your needs until another time.
Speaker 1
Favorites like in his phone is like I need to make her one of my speed dolls. Hang on. He's just completely cold shouldered Belinda. She's flown all the way out there and also that such a premeditated rejection letter. And unfortunately, we're going to have to sideline your needs. But well, they already have say, so that's fine. And also, Belinda wanted Greek or anyway, Blender was just plotting how to get rid of Oh, my God, that's true.
Is actually plays into Belinda's hands. Yeah, but blender will pretend to be upset. Oh, I'd be happy if they're going all the way to
Speaker 2
reluctantly. I have to leave your needs. Until another time. Belinda held back a satisfied smile. You're right, Jim told you now she had the perfect opportunity to get liar out of her hair while sucking greed or in and with him, access to the continent of Russia.
Speaker 1
Control. Also, Russia isn't a greasy, greasy, regal
Speaker 2
Peter. I'm disappointed, but I do understand. Perhaps you could help me by letting the lawyer know that I gave way for her and that I respect her very much.
Speaker 1
Always like plotting. Isn't she always liked playing the relationships and like playing them all like a game of chess? I think she's smarter
Speaker 2
than you think. Hell,
Speaker 1
yeah, maybe I take it back. She is quite the master manipulator, isn't she? Yeah, she's strategic.
Speaker 2
She's thinking about these things. It's like relationship buildings. Like who could she play off against someone else?
Speaker 1
I think I based her being thick on the fact that her chat is awful. The worst conversation as ever, and all of the working out happens in her head. So if we didn't have the internal monologue,
Speaker 2
thank God for them.
Speaker 1
Thank God, because you would just write it off altogether.
Speaker 2
Peter smiled, pleased he had got his way so easily.
Speaker 1
Money hasn't as a isn't played.
Speaker 2
You're a devious lady, Belinda. I can see. I'm going to have to watch you very carefully in the future.
Speaker 1
If this is Belinda drunk, he's a genius.
Speaker 2
Peter Kiss Belinda on her right hand and immediate, took Laura across the room to the craps table. The
Speaker 1
craps table for crap. Sex. Why's everybody kissing? Loses ham like she's a medieval king. What's going on
about? You think she's got something on her face? The Rockies. Just not mentioning it was Harry mold
Speaker 2
now free. Belinda wandered across the blackjacks tables modeled at that moment. Regal came up behind her and casually brushed her ass with his hand. Feeling for any hint of underwear is known. What a creep
Speaker 1
he can see through the dress. You can see there's no
Speaker 2
you like this bareback riding. I see English.
Speaker 1
What? That's no. What I think Rocky thinks it means. I think he means that that's going commando. Yeah, used again, that's quite a different thing.
Speaker 2
You like this bareback riding See English?
Speaker 1
Belinda
Speaker 2
nodded. Yes, it's much more exciting than betting, don't you think
Speaker 1
what he thinks it means, quite know there's definitely more at risk. That's what your
Speaker 2
greed or laughed and threw some chips on the table
Speaker 1
allegedly literally means, like McCain could chairs McCain oven chips
it put out of your pots and pounds. First things first
Speaker 2
English. First things first. Now sit on my lap and let's see if we can beat the house
Speaker 1
after Now they're gonna treat Gamble. He's so grim. Sit on my lap. Here's a bit grim, I imagine he's been told he's probably like twice our age. Yeah, he's like an oligarch cliches.
Speaker 2
It was obvious that the Russian was a practice gambler and after an hour of success, greed or scooped up his winnings and threw them into Belinda's lap.
Speaker 1
Oh, she's rich beyond the dreams throwing at her.
Speaker 2
She caught them definitely with you. She caught them deftly with her evening dress that she did, showing an indecently large area of fire in the process.
Well caught English. Now let's cash them in and see some more of those wonderful legs with a glass of champagne tucked between them.
Speaker 1
What did you do? That's what
Speaker 2
we did not enjoy. It would be very, very warm, very, very
Speaker 1
quickly, always poor stuff down there. That often shows that I'll take a sip and then disappears below the
Speaker 2
vagina is a receptacle, greed or in Belinda strolled out of the casino and turned immediately. Write down a somewhat seedy street in the very center of Amsterdam's famous
Speaker 1
red light district. Way knew it was coming. All the shop
Speaker 2
windows had semi naked girls parading their wares in a two meter Garrity lit space with pulsating neon tubes of colored light.
Speaker 1
But when they say, Where's they don't literally mean homewares or kitchen wares like Berlin really selling.
Speaker 2
They mean less stuff. Tits, Roman
Speaker 1
ships in town. Yeah. Have you ever been to the red light district? I never have. I have actually. Well, yeah, just for a stroll. Oh, sure, it's a very It leaves you feeling very strange. It must be an old places you can and people do walk around as voyeurs. Is rocky? Sure privilege? No, but that's the thing. Is a lot of tourists that such a weird combination, isn't it? I've seen men go into through the doors and then you feel a bit for lead out or come out
Speaker 2
looking really happy and chef like singing, and they kind of just looked a bit
Speaker 1
disheveled and regretful, and there are so many doors as well. So that like, which door do I go in? Which daughter come out off?
Speaker 2
Griego and Belinda strolled out of the casino and turned immediately. Write down a somewhat seedy street at the very center of Amsterdam's famous red light district. All the shop windows had semi naked girls parading their wares in a two meter, garishly lit space with pulsating Leon tubes of colored light, heavy vibe. Music,
Speaker 1
music, vibe, music. If you have a fine from heavy of I
Love It, it's like a disco tech dad wait. Parent heavy vibe music pelting out of the shop
Speaker 2
entrances, each one competing with the other for the few customers left on the street. At this late hour, a smell of weed hung in the stale nighttime air as greedy or guided her down a simulator alleyway, roughly fondling her ass on touching her vaginal leads. A CZ. They walked the letter back. Drink,
let's back. But how would you found off someone's leads? As you're walking down a slope
Speaker 1
or not lids their lips, I forgot
Speaker 2
to the bottle of what the fuck is a lid? Can you ask him please and find I don't one of us
Speaker 1
is very closed. Open situation, the way walking thinks of it, the lid. So you know that it's on or the lids off toilets closer. It's no. But like nothing changes that much from exterior. Appearance is not like a trapdoor.
Like a girl gets aroused, it goes, and you suddenly get wells a condenser
open. Precisely. Okay, so it's not like a drawbridge is very, very dissimilar to what is the matter to get being a drawbridge? Yeah, it's It's not what Rocky imagines, but I don't know when I'm gonna have that conversation with him.
Speaker 2
A smell of weed hung in the stale nighttime air as Greek or guided her down a semi lit alleyway, roughly fondling her ass and touching her vaginal lids as they walked about three houses along. They went up a couple of steps and greed will pushed the intercom. It was quickly answered. What
Speaker 1
the hell is going on? I feel like Greek or knows where he's going. Quite excited. Yeah, yeah. Regal knows these back streets, doesn't he? Oh, yeah, like the back of his greasy, greasy hand at the back of Belinda's much kissed half
Speaker 2
Greek or pushed the intercom. It was quickly answered Greek or whisper the words. My auntie is sick.
My own tears sit.
Speaker 1
Kriegel made your sick in the head.
Speaker 2
A voice replied, What is
Speaker 1
wrong with
Speaker 2

Speaker 1
Well, I said her harpy heart of herpes.
Speaker 2
H A R P E s

what's happening things, but still there. Is this the same book? What day is it?
Speaker 2
Belinda grimaced, hoping it wasn't a family trait.
Speaker 1
Whoa, What are peas? No, I know, but why are we even talking about this card? It doesn't seem like the appropriate time. Why Does Is he's in his sixties. Why does is like 90 year old art of harpies. Are we gonna discuss why it's harpies? Yeah. Okay, so, Well, there's a couple things here, So obviously you should be herpes, but isn't a harpy like a word for a loose woman? Yes, So maybe
Speaker 2
we'll harpies of in Greek mythology on every wanted, like lay on the rocks and would tempt people in
Speaker 1
Oh, yes, you're right, temptresses. So maybe it's a pun and Rocky's full house. He's actually above us. I told you, he's always operate on a different place. Now it's a liberal thing spelt
Speaker 2
the vowel wrong, actually, but
Speaker 1
I love how much credit you give him. So Regal's aren't has harpies.
Speaker 2
So yes, a Greek words whispered the words. My auntie is sick, a voice replied. What's
Speaker 1
wrong with
Speaker 2
her? Griego grunted, Rolled his eyes, is that she has harpies. But in the gravest,
Speaker 1
she's riddled.
Speaker 2
Belinda grimaced, hoping it wasn't a family trait. A tall blond man open the door and recognized Greek or immediately

the beginning, Zara has been waiting for you. And she is not happy. Kalinsky
Speaker 1
Zara. She was on the blurb. Zara of Leningrad? Yes. Good memory Living. Yeah. Do I just remember, cause they all had such a ludicrous
Speaker 2
Zara has been waiting for you. And she's no happy Kalinsky. She sounds formidable. Doesn't say you fucked up big this
Speaker 1
time. What's he done? Jesus said It's like a gangster movie ordered the wrong caviar.
Speaker 2
Don't worry. You know I can handle Zara. Besides, she'll adore meeting Miss Blumenthal.
Speaker 1
If all you're bringing Linda expect to be royally told off. Did you bring the receipt? Send it. Honestly, I'd rather have the cash value, which is about 20 quid.
Speaker 2
Now Take us to my table. Prepare two bottles of champagne. Two servings of black sea caviar. The best mind you and a dozen salted oysters.
Speaker 1
Quick! You, huh? It's crap. So is that what he needs for his aunt's harpies?
Robin always starlet.
Speaker 2
The blonde ushered them down a flight of steps into a large room with about 10 tables in it. He quickly showed them to one in the corner and disappeared to place. Greek ALS order. Who is Zara? She seems quite intimidating, said Belinda, slowly looking around.
Speaker 1
Based on what? Knowing her name. Yeah, I think based on the fact that she's not happy and is probably gonna give greed or a right rollicking
Speaker 2
Alice is skirt over. I'm petrified, greed or looked across the room and replied, I think you're about to find out.
Speaker 1
Ah, oh, don't say I think the first
Speaker 2
cliff hanger off the book, Siri's of books. My Whole Dad's Life.
Speaker 1
Yeah, absolutely. It feels like Rocky painted himself into a corner by taking Belinda to Amsterdam. But that was like this would be way more fun if it was like a Russian. So just put, the monster doesn't
Speaker 2
If Russians were there but a red light district, that would be a great novel.
Speaker 1
It's almost like he didn't want to just halfway through, say, I meant it was Moscow, where she would usually do
Speaker 2
well. He's a stranger in Moscow. Alexey isn't worried.
Speaker 1
Oh, he doesn't know the streets from Adam busy,
Speaker 2
he knows, and
Speaker 1
he knows it so well. And that's clear. Yeah, it's a touch toe took a ride out of things, you know? And then suddenly there are in a seedy side street.
Speaker 2
He knows that red light district.
Speaker 1
I'm genuinely on the edge of my seat by the next chapter, and I rarely say that cause usually I'm exhausted for a week, just from how boring they're genuinely you know, you know what happens. Yeah, I guess you know has happened
Speaker 2
in that chapter. We've gone from it just being quite parochial, just business meetings in Amsterdam to suddenly meeting Russians. And she's now in a
Speaker 1
very different character. Yeah, it's speech is shifted gears somewhat,
given that we are in a but that's that's classic Rocky. He always keeps it moving, but he does always run out of time Book one. Being an example of that, will you be able to tie up these loose ends before the end of the book? Because usually it's like I'm Zara said. You're like, Oh, that was that was the end
Speaker 2
of the chapter. That's a good point. So the next chapter is called Chapter seven, the Countess Zara.
Speaker 1
It's gonna be its eyes. Yeah, he's dumped the Duchess, and now
Speaker 2
we've got counter. He's traded her in for a better model.
Speaker 1
He's traded up for sure. His Countess Higher than Duchess. I think it is. So how do you become a cow, maybe? Know what's Kate? She's a doctor. Okay. Just Google. Countess. Yeah. It's a title in European countries for a noble of varying status, but historically deemed to convey an approximate rank intermediate between the highest on lowest titles of nobility.
So literary anywhere on the scale, He could be anywhere. You could be a Countess, Alice. We could all be a countess. She sounds like she's riffraff. The duchess sounded like she was from ancient aristocracy. That family that way about exactly where is the counters? I'm not sure we'll find out.
Speaker 2
Let's not judge her. She won't be Anastasia for we know. Finally, we
Speaker 1
found her. Did you imagine it would be interesting for that would be a careful, wouldn't it? I mean, all will be revealed in chapter seven, then.
Speaker 2
Yeah, next week. Next Monday. Porno day again. Chapter seven. The Countess Sorrow. In the meantime, chats was on Twitter at Dad wrote a porno.
Speaker 1
Yeah, and if you could bring anything to the table, whether it be new information, a different context, maybe. Wanna ask a question? You can. Email is my dad brought upon it at gmail dot com. Well, some Facebook Just search my daughter a porno and we got instagram at my dad wrote.
Speaker 2

Speaker 1
animism. Got extras hasn't it's rocky extras which are gold. I'd
Speaker 2
have to say we're really proud of this book. We've worked really, really hard on it. All of us, All four of us. We work with Rocky for the first time. A very interesting experience. Quite. Yeah. We're really, really excited about it. I think it would be really, really good book knowledge in Amsterdam for sure. Do
Speaker 1
