Fan Recaps and Comments:

Mrsbluebeard:

After “Dead,” Linnell kept noodling on the keyboard. This turned into an impromptu song thanking the audience, but after pointing out two people because of their shirts, Flans used the song to promote their Bluesky (“it’s like Twitter but against white supremacists”) and their Tik Tok—which, yes, he said, is run by the Chinese government, but at this point don’t they have all of his information anyway?

From there he made a seemingly arbitrary transition and started singing about Experian catching a fraudulent charge for 4 plane tickets from Moscow to Spain.
