Lyrics

I don't mind when he butchers the news
chastises Kevin, or shills for Fan Duel
But I can't listen to another show
Of Nigel interviews going nowhere
It's on the table

I've got two Radiolab episodes
Burning a hole in my pocket
I'm certainly not going to listen
To Loverro and Sheehan
I'm not that desperate

But this is from hunger
This is from hunger

    well, since it's just the same line over and over I'm guessing you're asking what the phrase means. gary uses it from time to time and it means mediocre, or lacking in quality. I'm guessing with the nigel show it means the latter. mediocre would be a pseudo-compliment.

    The Nigel host-slamming song we've been waiting for. But I'm going to need a director's commentary on the chorus

    hmmm...I completely glossed over your existential inquiry, Jason. I would posit that the easiest, but still most reliable axiom, is Descartes' Cogito Ergo Sum. now if you then want to jump to Zhaungzi's butterfly and wonder whether anyone outside of you exists...well, I don't know of anyone that has proven that much.

    eddie vedder is your sweet spot, my man. outstanding vocals! just like Jerry's Elephant song I can listen to this as a standalone and enjoy it outside of the TK universe.

    Though I may or may not have lent my voice to these guys, I cannot confirm nor deny that they actually exist. (For that matter, do any of us really exist...and what does that even mean?) The only thing of which I can offer quantifiable proof based upon recent observations: If you send me funny lyrics I will probably sing them into a microphone.
