S&W GOAT! #FOTBS4L
Not only the best show out there, it’s also the greatest show out there. I’ve done my research, now you do yours.
👍
Any one who says this show is bad is stupid.
Tom =< Trash
Tom is in the vanguard of “The League of Creators,” [Bow] a self-important cadre of aging punks with swizzle-stick arms and braying harridans who plan to bring down Capitalism and the Patriarchy once and for all. His economic plan: To make all ATMs have the same PIN of “0000.” He will greatly enjoy traveling to re-education camps to berate the white males [ptooey!] for hours on end. All he expects in return is that a statue of him be built to rival the Lantau Buddha. Instead of the benevolent gaze of the Enlightened One, Tom’s haughty RBF glowers over what was Jersey City.
Once Civilization collapses, remnants of The League will huddle around a fire as Tom puts on tepid, repetitive “comedy” skits, a pot of lentils but only three spoons. Their forced, hollow laughter would chill you to the bone.
This little-known podcast is like that.
