His words are the shell game (the small con) it may bamboozle a few folks, but it’s just drawing attention. They keep watching the shell game, as the entire crowd’s pockets are picked (the big con).

I’m getting close to having this one ready for mastering and being the bed for a revamped video. I write lyrics in a heavy sarcasm font 🤣. Tori Roze killed it on those vocals

Well that person got ratio’d 🤣 I fully agree with any and all strategies ASAP that bog down the Shit Blitzkrieg

Hey Fred Armisen! I love you and would Really be honored if you could write liner notes for my covers album - reggae, ska versions of 80’s pop songs. Now everyone, make this go viral! (Sits, expectantly looking at phone 🤷‍♂️)

Spyz were on heavy rotation in my world back in the day. Peace to Peter and condolences to his family. Legend 🫡😔
