why is firesign theater so funny

[Richard O'Neill]

  I don't need no Chat GPT to tell me what I already know. Decades ago, 
Tacos members went on an internet binge by sharing out favorite 
episodes. AFAIK, a lot of them are still on youtube.
My favorite is, 'How Time Fiys'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb03xyKq3pg
