JIM AND THEM!
(TRIGGER WARNING)
I'M NO WRITER SO FUCK OFF IF IT READS BADLY!
WHILE TRYING TO DISTRACT MYSELF FROM MY HORRIBLE FUCKING WIFE, I DISCOVERED A SHINING BEACON OF HOPE AMONGST THE DARK PLACE THAT MAKES UP THE INTERNET!
JIM AND THEM!
REMEMBER THOSE WORDS!
THERE'S A VEIL OF DARKNESS THAT'S SWEEPING OUR WORLD RIGHT NOW! COUNTLESS NIGHTS I FIND MYSELF WITH A TREMBLING HAND TRYING TO FACE THE COMING DARK, BUT THERE'S HOPE! ACROSS FROM ME IS A CHEAP MP3 PLAYER (FUCK APPLE) FILLED WITH VOICES OF SOME STRANGERS FROM THE INTERNET! VOICES THAT HAVE CALLED ME BACK FROM THE EDGE!
DO YOU LIKE COMEDY?!
ACTUAL COMEDY! COMEDY THAT BRINGS YOU TO TEARS! COMEDY THAT MAKES YOU LAUGH THAT LAUGH! THAT PURE INSTINCTUAL LAUGH! THAT LAUGH THAT YOUR WIFE HATES BECAUSE HER SHITTY JOKES CAN NEVER DRAW IT OUT! THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE!
I DISCOVERED JIM AND THEM IN 2010! SINCE THEN I'VE TUNED IN EVERY WEEK AND HAVE BINGED ON THE ARCHIVE COUNTLESS TIMES! THESE STRANGERS! THESE VOICES! WHY STICK WITH THEM WHEN I'VE GIVEN UP ON MANY A PODCAST?!
BECAUSE THEY'RE REAL!
WE HAVE LONG DIVED INTO THE DEEP END OF MANUFACTURED EVERYTHING! NO ONE IS REAL! NO ONE CREATES OUT OF PASSION! NO ONE IS OR DOES FOR THE SAKE OF BEING AND DOING! MUSIC! FILM! ALL MADE BY THE NUMBERS! BUT THERE'S HOPE!
JIM AND THEM IS MADE UP OF A GROUP OF MEN! NAY GODS! WHO EXUDE PASSION! PASSION THAT SEEPS FROM MY EARPHONES AS I LAY THERE, LETTING THE PURE COMEDY THAT THESE TITANS ELOQUENTLY SING WASH OVER AND THROUGH ME!
AND IT'S PURE! THESE MEN ARE THEIR WORDS! EACH JOKE! EACH OBSERVATION! PRESENTED IN A PURE NON DILUTED WAY! THERE'S NO ACT! NO HIDDEN MOTIVE! THEY URGE TO CREATE AND TO FILL YOUR LIFE WITH HUMOR AND YOU GET THAT! IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE TRUE SELF YOU BECOME WHEN DRUNK! AN OPENNESS YOU GET FROM FRIENDSHIP! YOU FEEL APART OF IT! AS IF YOU ARE THERE IN THE ROOM!
MY WIFE HAS DESTROYED MY ABILITY TO FEEL LOVE BUT I'M SURE THIS CONSTANT SHARP PAIN IN MY CHEST IS MY LOVE FOR JIM AND THEM!
I LOVE YOU JIM! FOR THE TIME AND EFFORT YOU'VE PUT IN TO ACTIVELY INCREASING THE QUALITY OF THE SHOW! LISTEN TO EPISODE 1 AND LISTEN TO THE LATEST AND TELL ME YOU CAN'T HEAR A VAST IMPROVEMENT IN AUDIO QUALITY! THANK YOU FOR CARING! SO MANY PODCASTS SOUND LIKE THEY'RE TRYING TO TALK THROUGH A CLENCHED ASSHOLE! YOU DEFEATED THE BUZZ! THANK YOU FOR BEING THE WIND THAT CARRIES OUR SHIP ONWARD!
I LOVE YOU JAKE! YOU ARE HOW I FOUND JIM AND THEM! FROM THE JAKE AND MIKE (GOD REST HIS SOUL) VGS! THE STAND UP AND IMPROVE YOU DO HAVE MADE ME PROUD! AND THAT CAN SEEM WEIRD BEING PROUD OF A STRANGER ON THE WEB BUT HEARING GOD KNOWS HOW MANY HOURS OF YOUR VOICE I SEE YOU AS A FRIEND! AND SEEING YOU FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS HAS REKINDLED MEMORIES OF WHAT I MIGHT HAVE BEEN BEFORE MEETING MY WIFE!
I LOVE YOU JEFF! YOU ARE DEUS EX MACHINA! THE EAGLES FROM LORD OF THE RINGS! YOUR QUICK FIRE WIT! YOUR WORD MAGIC THAT SHOOTS IN AND LEAVES NOTHING BUT SMOULDERING LAUGHTER! TRUEST OF THE TRUE! IF THESE WERE THE DAYS OF THE BIBLE, LEGENDARY JEFF WOULD HAVE A BOOK ALL TO HIS OWN! SOME MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRY WOULD BE SHOOTING DOWN HELICOPTERS IN THE YOUR NAME! KEEP DOIN YOU! ALLAHU JEFFBAR!
I LOVE YOU JOE! IT'S A FRESH LOVE! A LOVE WHERE I STILL ENJOY BEING AROUND YOU! I CAN STILL LOOK YOU IN THE EYE DURING BREAKFAST! DON'T FUCK UP! ALSO DO MORE VOICES! I LOVE THEM!
WE ALL HAVE THAT VOID AT THE BOTTOM OF OUR STOMACHS THAT WILL NEVER BE FULL! BUT LISTENING TO JIM AND THEM IS THE CLOSEST YOU'LL GET TO A LOVE THAT WONT BETRAY YOU!
LISTEN TO THEM NOW! SPREAD THE WORD!
THANK YOU JIM AND THEM!
