I fixed it by replacing the def find_sounds(url): script with:

def find_sounds(url):
    res = requests.get(url, headers=HEADERS)
    if res.status_code != 200:
        print(f'[-] failed to fetch home page with status code {res.status_code}, quitting')
        exit(1)

    soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, 'html.parser')
    scripts = soup.find_all('script')
    check_if_none(scripts, 'scripts')

    target = None
    for s in scripts:
        if 'var board_data_inline = ' in str(s):
            target = s.text.strip()
            break

    check_if_none(target, 'info script')

    start = target.find('var board_data_inline = ') + len('var board_data_inline = ')
    end = target.find(';', start)
    json_data = target[start:end].strip()
    sound_list = json.loads(json_data)
    sounds = sound_list['sounds']

    res = []
    for i in sounds:
        res.append({
            'id': i['id'],
            'title': i['sound_transcript'],
            'url': i['sound_file_url']
        })

    return res

This would be replacing (based on the 101soundboards.py structure) lines: 26 through 115
