The Origen of Love Anderson Cook
About This Show
Jason did something bad. Jason lives with his unnerving grandfather. Jason is building an image-based message board on the internet with m00t, a man he met on 4chan. Jason and m00t are interested in 5th century-ascetic priests, how to get women, and how they should moderate child porn on their website. Jason’s grandfather did something bad too. Tonight, Jason redeems both of them.
