Interviewer: How do you know that gerbils are using sign language with their whiskers to secretly plot against mankind?

RFK Jr.: I never said that.

RFK jr.: It’s incredible that gerbils have learned to use sign language with their whiskers in order to secretly plot against mankind, yet no one is doing anything to stop it.

American Doom is a sketch-comedy show I write with J. Philip Wilkins. It's weird & funny, but not always "ha ha funny" ("Making people laugh is the lowest form of humor." -Michael O'Donoghue). Regular podcasts slowly rot your brain. Why not rot your brain much more quickly with American Doom?
