Jack Marteau’s Top 5² - His Greatest Hits
Since I’m not writing the top 5 this week (what the f**k?), I’m dishing out a special edition ultra top 5 which has been described as “The best f**king thing ever”, before I’ve even written it. It’s been a wild super fun ride; I thought the whole section should’ve been called “Top 5 HILARITY with J-Mart” but “the man” wouldn’t have it. Anyway, enjoy this cream of the crop because this is the end of an era.
