I'm trying to hit 600,000 subscribers by the end of 2020. It would be an amazing send-off for this horrible year.

And yeah, it's going to be close, so any help is much

appreciated. Let's get into today's first story. I recruited an unwitting army to annoy a butthole.

Back in the early 90s, my friend, I'll call him Lou, because that's his name, was selling his
