I want a series about this man just spilling tea on everyone in a small town gay bar

[@pajacas]

Me too honey 💛

[@graciegalahad9258]

I’d watch that. Or maybe write a novel!

[@Komobear]

Every episode is just about a different person he’s spilling tea on and their life

"You might as well call me Lipton Brisk because I'm full of tea, ice cold, and I'll never be loved as much as I was in the late 90's"

Don't go spillin' my girl like that

Oh how I love Brisk but Shane's character isn't wrong..at my Walmart they're selling five 1 litter bottles for $5...at least Brisk still gets some attention.

That was freaky. I read your comment right as he said it

[@nickc3657]

I’m floored by how fast and perfectly he delivered all his lines

[@davidriddell9455]

He's just solid. It'd be awesome if he created a whole universe of characters related to this one. I.e. his business, conservative cousin comes to visit from the big city and is meeting him @ the bar. An old college roommate, visiting for a funeral for his Me-maw. A work friend, meeting up to buy a used car(something, whatever) And he can use this character as a foil to the new one. "Um, yea, I'm supposed to meet...whaa? Why is everyone asking me about lollipops?" He's got a goldmine here..

Whats a brony?

[@chadtheladGMT]

Brony is a portmanteau of *bro* and *pony* reffering to someone who watches My Little Pony (most prevalently Generation 4 titled "Friendship is Magic"). it is the name given to the MLP community/fanbase, like how fans of Star Trek are called "Trekkies" as an example

Great job Shane! Brilliant writing. Love the straw joke the best! IMO you nailed this. I'm from a small, southern town and you are dead on with this comedy piece. Even the one the gay bar where I lived was called "______'s Secret." Left the name blank so I don't out anyone. Best of luck with your career. Can't wait to watch you do more great, fabulous things.
