TbP 13: Social (f/ Doc Carnage & Hooper X)

download
on iTunes

Th good news  is that th ASMR-esque aspects of our podcast are undiminished (or augmented, possibly) by crappy audio quality. Th bad news is that it is hard to hear what our guests are saying, @ times. Consider listening on headphones as Billy Ray Stupendous and I bring together two giants of th troll community, Doc Carnage and Hooper X, for an informal (and barely audible, @ times) chat about th evolution of yr favourite addiction: social media. Play that game where you eavesdrop on somebody's call and try to guess what th person on th other end of th line is saying. You'll be rewarded w/ @ least 6 or 7 minutes of penis talk, and th birth of perhaps th strangest presidential ticket in history
