Very interesting! Admire his work

[@extremotionaltrouffas]

This is plain unwatchable. He seems like a respectable decent puppeteer teacher, but his English are simply unbearable to listen to. This is sad, as his speech could be of great value. So, in order to spare me the torture, I have to pass.
