I listened to it and it’s genuinely not bad

Of course not. Its predicated on the collected works of a decades-long professional comedian.

If you re-mixed a new screenplay using the combined works of Shakespeare (and called it, idk, West Side Story or 10 Things I Hate About You or The Lion King) you could put together a blockbuster movie fairly easily, too.

If it’s not a fake ghostwritten by the creators, it must have been heavily rerolled and edited to make it so coherent.
