The Hard Times: The Current Comedy Landscape, The Straight Edge Subculture, and The Room Service Sexcapade

Today on Auxoro, I speak with Matt Saincome and Bill Conway, the founders of The Hard Times, a satire website focused on punk news that has since added a Video Game section called the Hard Drive. According to TheHardTimes.net, The Hard Times started in late 2014 with just a few punk kids, comics, and friends. In this conversation, we cover everything from the inception of The Hard Times to jerking off to what makes good satire. This was absolutely a wide-ranging conversation, and make sure to stay tuned until the end for some scandalous stories about Matt’s food delivery days.
