Not going to click on it but it does look a lot like this only exists to take the piss out of a (basically) mentally ill person, and get Slap laughing.

Religious person talking shite _shock_. Who cares?

Sumner is convinced noone dies of old age theyre dying because of sin.

He slso has 50 person zoom calls with every pro monday wednesday and friday to talk about the bible.

He’s probably not winning anyone over with that interview

“Non-profit.”  
“Donate.”  
“Tax deductible.”

Religious “businesses” don’t pay tax in the US, right?

Yeah, apparently so. He’s mentioned it a few times. I think he caught some flak for his affecting a (comedy) English accent, you know, this kind of thing…

He clearly plays it up for laughs.

Though I’m not sure what connection there is between being English/ British and being involved in live theatrical performances, as he seems to draw in the Jenkem interview. I wouldn’t know being half American. I can’t say I’ve noticed it, but when you’re not out skating are you lot ‘treading the boards’ somewhere? 😉

I’m half Irish, grew up there a bit, the ladies are always gutted I don’t have the accent when they find that out. Just means I get to disappoint them in the bedroom twice 😉 I feel for my kids, their other grandmother is native American. Their DNA must almost be a dot to dot of the world by now!

Pretty similar over here. Mother’s side of the family is American with some Polynesian and Native American in there. Dad’s side is Spanish/ Irish. My niece is half Chilean. My wife’s half Swedish/ half English. There’s a bunch of other mix-ups in amongst the rest of the family. If we ever got everyone together in one place it’d be like a cosplay United Nations.

Ha, just made me think of how I used to love going to all the international parties at Uni, I had too room share for a few months with a french lad and he’d sneak me in. Ended up hanging out with the hottest Norwegian girl back then because of that, good days.

Really enjoyed that. Haven’t finished it but the way he describes his lost years is great. I was not into Epicly Laterd era Spanky at all…but it seems nor is he on reflection and that makes him 100% more likeable!
