The guys at Proton Tattoo also have a RUclips commedy series called Worm Drive Show. My other older Brother does all the editing, and sound etc. It's seriously hilarious especially because I feel like you would be best friends! Chris may the other owner was on Ink Master!

Haha no one watched this.

[@beesdontlikeit]

Will Farrell has never been and will never be funny. His fans and comedians that are influenced by him will never be funny. Sorry, someone needs to tell both of you that, yall aren't funny or interesting to listen to.

[@micahpacileo2307]

do you know when that someone will show up to tell them?

[@sweetheartspod]

@@micahpacileo2307 maybe they'll come soon after they watch Will & Harper 😉

[@tamrasmith1744]

All that success, all those movies, all that money, all because you weren’t there to tell all of us he wasn’t funny. Where have you been?
