The Fee Fee Show
-Mr Hunga Dunga
The Peoples Karma Squad.
Today’s show is sponsored by Gobygobygoby. This is a live show that happened Tuesday morning/afternoon while the roofers at my house added the extra challenge, once again, of talking to people while a bunch of hammering is happening in the background. In this show, I call customers of an internet provider who’ve recently called tech support.

Here are the lyrics to Internet Killed The Radio Shack…
It started in Boston in 1921,
A store for nerds that would build radios for fun,
Filled to the roof with wires and lots of components,
Oh-a oh.
And now today they’re filing for bankruptcy,
You’d think today we’d still need their technology,
But no one cared, not even maker communities,
Oh-a oh.
What happened to them?
Oh-a oh
Why were they condemned?
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Now you’re gone, you can’t come back,
Oh-a-a-a oh.
I guess there’s just no way out you’re totally screwed
Like Sears and Blockbuster and Musicland too,
Your days of selling crappy batteries are through,
Oh-a oh
It’s time to move on
Oh-a oh
Now we use Amazon
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Some say you died 10 years ago,
By focusing on cheap cell phones,
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh
xylophone solo…
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
I’ll miss all the things you sold,
Like PC cards and remote controls,
the coco 2’s and game consoles
the bread boards and the telephones.
Bankruuuupt…you’re totally screeeewwwwed,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,
Internet killed the Radio Shack,

I thought this show was only held behind closed doors? (If you know what I mean)
10/10
I thought it was very funny that every one of those reseller scam artists had a jewish accent lol.
Radio Shack still is here, and it is now known as a gadget shop. You can’t really find hard to find components for building stuff from bread boards these days.
Hey! That’s my hobo!
