164 - Life In The Big City

[@TheReadingVagabond]

Tim’s ability to just unload his consciousness in a continuous, hilarious stream is best described as a religious experience.

[@lancegoodthrust546]

Amen brother.

[@lancegoodthrust546]

It is really funny you say "religious experience" because I have compared Tim's rants as like going to church. There's a message in his show. And that message is mostly to grow the fuck up.
