pimp = mute

1 reply

Gotta tab out too, muting alone only solves 50% of the problem.

2022-10-15 13:16

100% . pimp by far is the most annoying person they could have other than maybe that dude raules they had at the americas RMR at the desk who could barely put a sentence together. raules made that desk almost as bad as the maui bleh and montrash one. only reason it wasnt is because theres 3 trash ones together in the maui desk and just the moron raulesd on the americas one. but raules was like a pimp and just shouldnt EVER SPEAK TO AN AUDIENCE ALL THEY DO IS HINDER THE REST OF THE TALENT

No Machine? no Fun!

Anders is fine, together with: Sado, spunj, Alex, Dan, semmler, Moses, tall British dude that drove c9 into oblivion

Happy to see no Moses... he's always negative and shutting down his cast mates. Sadoksit would be awesome though.

2022-10-15 00:34

No one can deny that harry is the casting goat. His sexual innuendos and gay jokes is such a refreshment in the stale kind of casting we have nowadays.

2022-10-15 00:04

perfect sarcasm i literally cannot tell if you are trolling

2022-10-15 00:41

Maui lives rent free in a few heads. Bunch of gigglechads. To be fair, Anders could cast with me and still be wonderful. Maui does watch a few more demos than I do, like 200 more a week, so he might do better that I would. .
