I assume it was a fentanyl accident. He had the sort of OCD that drives men to suicide. At least that’s what I heard. gently caress I feel wrecked. Condolences to people who actually knew him and weren’t just fans like myself.

No way!! What age was he!?

He was 41. Just a glance at google at the only thing it says is 'accident'. Yeah, with the quotes.

An accident? It sounds like he hosed up. Now he hosed up. Now he hosed up. Now he hosed up.

He has hosed up now. :smith:

Well, my day is now friggin ruined. Laughed at that guy for years. Saw them live in Philly. Girlfriend and I got photos with them. I have been watching WKUK on YouTube and Twitch, lately. They just uploaded a video of them all discussing a skit yesterday.

Just saw this from Timmy's feed, just now. :(

Don't sleep on Trevor's later forays into comedy music, though they never really took off too much either.

This is beginning to seem like a plausible scenario.

From Zach and Sam:

“Our hope is that friends, fellow artists, and fans that loved him will not focus on his death, but will remember the countless moments of laughter he gave them.”

I haven't watched their stuff in a while. I remember over a decade, 4 hard drives, and three homes ago watching all this on youtube. I thought they were popular over there in the US and I was one of the few people on this side of the atlantic who knew about them. I'm surprised to find out they are pretty obscure over there too. I'm not really sure how I found out.

One of my favourite sketches.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

That really sucks. He was a really funny, creative guy and came across as very genuine in all his interviews.

I'll always be fascinated by his life story; that he grew up touring with his Christian music artist parents, got a public access show while in high school, got a show on a PAX affiliate and then canceled almost immediately, formed WKUK and got rejected by AMC for a TV show but the right exec got put in charge of IFC and wanted them on that network and to be as raunchy as possible.

The videos they were putting out after COVID hit was great content (discussing individual sketches, playing D&D) and I was hopeful they'd do more comedy together in the future.

His solo stuff was great as well.

The chances of him heckling Trump while in bad Lincoln cosplay at a diet Nuremberg rally have gone from extraordinarily unlikely to completely impossible. :(

Same. I had every episode downloaded in lovely quality and marathoned it a few times and then last year I would just let it auto play on YouTube while crack pinging over COVID.
