Follow the Leader Presents Canon/Eyes 6 - Fuck It, I Would Simply Win
Monday Jan 19, 2026
Monday Jan 19, 2026
Join special guest Jeff Stormer, August, Danielle, Koda/Jade, and MK as we play Canon/Eyes by Jeff Stormer.
The world around you is weirder and more wonderful than you ever imagined.
Aliens? Real. Time Travel? Real. Bigfoots? Real.
Superheroes? Real. Santa Claus? Real. Corn Fanta? Real, and it’s Delicious.
It is our job to bring the weird and wonderful true history of the world to light.
Now. I know what you’re thinking. Why is it on us to do that? Is there some sort of sinister cabal, pulling strings in the shadows, and hiding things from us?
No. What? Grow up. The truth is way worse.
The ones responsible for all of this, the monsters draining the magic from the world, are ordinary people with names and addresses, doing it right in front of your face.
This is The Corporation: A capitalist entity that has spent its lifetime buying and accumulating every piece of magic, and wonder, and weirdness in the world. They buy it and then they license it, or shove it in a vault, or sell it back to you with a smiling cartoon mascot, or use it to fund death squads and poisoned water supplies. They've left our world bleak and boring and sad, all so they can be the ones to sell joy back to us, one drop at a time.
It's our job to steal back that wonder by exposing the true history of the world that should be, and dismantling their coverups and black ops missions. Bringing back the world that they stole from us. And we do it in the shadows, because if they find out, they’ll sue us bankrupt, make us disappear, and then in ten years make a cute cartoon out of our likeness.
It won’t be easy. But if it was, somebody else would’ve done it.
Let’s Get to Work.
