BarbaraHOST
Hoffman and her three companions had flown into the mountains to harvest an egg from the nest of a bearded vulture, one of the Earth's strangest birds of prey.
BarbaraHOST
She braced for impact as a rotor blade clipped the ground, flipping the chopper upside down atop a massive escarpment.
Teko ModisePANELIST
You are a team that is playing multiple tournaments, and with multiple tournaments comes with multiple responsibilities and different responsibilities.
Teko ModisePANELIST
And the Intercontinental Cup is totally different to playing Bafana against Lesotho or Bafana against Botswana.
Teko ModisePANELIST
So which means every tournament that you play, there's a certain standard that you need to raise or a certain standard that you need to maintain.

So now, Miami Suns is getting to a phase that I've never been in before.

But let's talk about that, the mining injustices, because we often hear a lot in South Africa about zamazamas, which are your illegal mining people.
Joe BartolozziHOST
People—obviously, in the United States, we have a similar consensus because we live under the same government with the same laws and very similar cultural opinions.
Joe BartolozziHOST
But if you lived in China or Mongolia or Russia or fucking Lesotho or random different countries that have different rule sets and different cultures and different opinions and different societies and different religions, what you believe is right and wrong in your heart might be different.
Joe BartolozziHOST
That's why I say it's individually objective— but universally subjective.
Joe BartolozziHOST
And I know that's a stupid point to make, but you know what I mean.
David SamsonGUEST
The last couple that have come out have looked at the herders, who are under extreme risk, by the way, because there's like a kind of a scenario where every winter there is raiding from...
