The Creepy Touch! Episode 9: The Mad Decent Block Party
In this episode: Toilet Cobra goes to Philadelphia on a bus that smells like shit and dicks and has fun bouncing around like a doofus to deafening rhythmic music. He spoke to some other doofuses about stupid shit. It's that kind of show. Stupid people talking about stupid shit. Also the long awaited Diplo interview in which we delve into his early years and he explains why he makes gang sign hand gestures whenever his photo is taken. Skerrit Bwoy also makes an appearance and tells the uninitiated about his village.
