Boring, no point, poorly researched

I came across this with a quick search for something related to Georgia or Tbilisi. The writing is absolutely dreadful. I actually fell sleep listening to it in the middle of the day and had to rewind it. The story didn't make much sense even with one and a half listens. I wonder if this author just visited Tbilisi once and decided to use it in a story he wrote one night. Khatchapuri does not include herbs, and no successful Moscow businessman from Tbilisi started off selling pot there and certainly not ecstacy.

The writing is in no way vivid or thoughtful. It's full of boring adjectives and cliches. I commend and encourage people to write like this for practice, but there's a reason a story like this can't get published.

The narrators voice and accent in no way matches the text he is reading. I assume he's just a friend of the author. Avoid this thing.
