Hello, me again!
You’re right, Russell Brand is a rubbish comedian. Can’t say I was upset when he moved to the States to be with Katy Perry, and quite frankly you can keep him… That said he is a pretty good-guy as far as things go. You should check out the evidence he gave to Parliament regarding UK drugs policy – almost as good as the Rowen Atkinson evidence Scooter included in one of The Inner Side episodes a few years ago! And I don’t think Scooter is in any position to be rubbishing Mr Brand’s (and the reast of the UK’s) looks – have you seen his picture above?! A goofier looking guy has not yet been found! Only joking Scooter; at the end of the day, who really gives a shit. I’d rather be interesting that pretty any day – you’ll lose your looks eventually, but interesting only gets more so….
Oh, and regarding the atheistic UK; our census results were just released and now 25% of us are non-believers! Not only that, but my home-town comes in the top-10 for non-believers at 36% AND the top-10 for Jedi at 0.6%. I’ve never been so proud….
Another great show lads! Definitely brightened my day at the office. Your swearing did shock the Brazilian woman training with us though. I just said ‘what the fucks wrong with swearing?’ and left it at that.
Hi Antony,
Thanks for your comments. Based on comments alone, I think you are our biggest fan.
Why aren’t you other assholes commenting or liking things on our page? Give us a fucking chance to at least say how the fuck are you and thank you for fucking listening to our show, you bastards!
Cheers,
Shawn
