The History of Cum Town: A Podcast Masterpiece - Why Are You Laughing?

I was late to the Cumtown party. Started listening a few days after COVID lockdown in March of 2020. I had just started a job as a bus driver in Minnesota and ended up on paid leave for about three months. In that time I was hiking during the day and coming home and getting drunk almost every night. My wife would be in the bedroom having Zoom calls with friends but since I was a gay loser I was drinking alone, playing MarioKart, and autistically listening to every episode of Cumtown in order. By the time I was called up to return to my job as a public transit operator I had heard every episode (some a couple times). Suffice to say, I laughed a lot. I even sent Nick Mullen fan mail once or twice because, as previously mentioned, I'm a homosexual.

[@josefbecher4790]

Truest comment I've read in a long time... the only downside to the show i can find, is that i have to enjoy it alone as everyone i try to introduce to it taps out after the first rape joke, and or Stavs first laugh... its kind of a litmus test for new friends at this point lol

[@Mirsham_Piped]

@@josefbecher4790people who already like it might be a sketchy litmus test. You might need to ease people in starting with Kill Tony or Matt and Shane or Tim Dillon and then after a year or two start showing them clips.

I still hold out hope for a reunion. Stav has pretty much hit the big time by now, meaning his worry about becoming just "the guy from CT" no longer really applies at this point. It would only help the careers of all three of them to restart CT with Stav again. It could easily be as big (or even bigger) than MSSP has gotten.
