It’s OK to Wear a RATYHTL Pin

by

Do you enjoy my radio show? Do you not enjoy my radio show? Were you completely unaware that I even have a radio show? If you answered “Whatever. My stepdad is a dick” to three or more of these questions, then Why-Not swing by Y-NOT (see what I did there?) and pick up a RATYHTL pin?

The pins only cost $5 and I don’t see a goddamn red cent of the money – it all goes to keep Y-NOT running.
