this is a head gum podcast so it was it was just an unexpected uh not like a result but just like kind of a side effect so like i obviously you know hard seltzer, hard lemonade, hard kombucha. I had developed this hard yogurt, very botanical flavors, cardamom hibiscus flavor with a gin base, cranberries on the bottom just reeking with gin. And they let me set up this promotional table at the club to kind of like distribute my hard yogurt little like spoon plastic container with a foil top and

little spoons to eat it out of and people are like going a little crazy with this yogurt a little crazier than i thought it's so filling i I didn't really expect to have to kind of set limits on it. Right. You would think it's sort of self-governing because it's thick as hell. Yes. It's very coating of your intestinal lining and stuff like that. Yeah. Yogurt to me is like it is i know the process is

yogurt but it is thicker to me it almost seemed like more of a budino yeah in terms of the texture it was texture yes exactly it's not so heavy yeah yeah it's a little chunkier than a budino but no it's not sweet at all it's very acidic yeah, it had a ton of bite to it. And, and I, you know, it's called, I enjoy it.

Huh? Did I say it's called the fermented fetish. I just thought I should like say what it's called. Mm. And I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I mean, I found myself,

um, I found myself going back for seconds and thirds as most people did and and i know you had said that because the alcohol content that wasn't safe um i didn't i end up you know i've had to sample a lot of the yogurt i end up like i go to the bathroom in the club and then i room yeah and then i come out and everyone is wearing the foil tops as pasties guilty as well and lady you put them on as pasties as well? Yeah. Which I don't know why I even did that,

because, you know, I've had... I don't... I mean, we talk about this on the show, but I don't have, you know, nipples in the traditional sense. So you just kind of have to guess where the pasties would go. Yeah. You're getting very close. Can I just... When I've seen you experiment with that before

you are getting so close no it's feeling more and more i think i'm not like stressing about i'm not like getting myself all worked up of like i've got to get this right i just kind of go like you seem very labored yeah and now it's just like very breezy it was so stiff before um but i you know uh i don't want to make this all about my you know my my pasties or uh or lack thereof i i do want to get into a very exciting guest that we have we should talk a little bit about obviously last week and blake i don't know if you're aware of this last week we did make an attempt to do you know about tri-month uh i i listened in for tri-month is tri-month the month when you guys really are uh trying to what rope in new listeners we're trying to just do a good job like make the show something people might enjoy and we and we really try to limit it to one month

because it's just otherwise it's not healthy for us it's exhausting yeah so uh so we do we do traditionally try to get bigger guests and have more of a coherent episode and we were doing so poorly this whole month that last week we decided to try something new and go hey let's get a lot of guests let's get extra ones yeah uh and that did not work and what we're now gonna do is just go back to one famous person okay and that's and so you're that for us oh thank god i was like our second guest ever and in retrospect our first maybe our first like two or three months of shows were like all kind of what we would call tri-month sure now but since then it's been a steep bottomless cliff yeah for sure and i saw yeah yeah i listened i heard you you really tried to cram a lot of guests in there and it was kind of felt like a like a podcast royal rumble like every 30 seconds there's a

new guest coming in and and i could see where that could be entertaining but yeah it was hard to i honestly can't at this anymore yeah i guess in the right hands yeah maybe that would be good you'd be you would need the right hosts and the right guests yeah it's a lot of bobbing and weaving and yeah that it's you've got to really try and and i don't know if you guys can try that hard that's a that's a lot of bobbing and weaving and yeah that that it's you got to really try and and i don't know if you guys can try that hard that's a that's a hard try it was a cool idea on paper yeah um and and i appreciate you trying to listen and it sounds like you gave it you gave it a real honest effort yeah i got i got about three guests in right and you had about nine that's awesome dude that's huge that's that rocks we had another good guest after that after those three actually oh

well you know i've still i'm still paused and saved where i stopped listening so maybe i'll pick it up later tonight when i'm going to bed oh damn okay you were our second guest ever can you believe it blake? It feels good. Remember? Yeah, it's been a while. I almost thought maybe this was like a 500th episode, something we're bringing Blake back, like walk down memory lane, but it's not that. It is, but it is like that.

It's the final week of try month. Yeah. It's really, we're done trying. Here's Blake. Back to the old song and dance but i'm happy isn't it always the way but we and we do have some exciting news because um oh good well geez i mean uh you and i are both are both fathers and uh it does make you think a little bit about about some of the programming that's aimed at children.

And what I've been seeing is they do a lot of these cartoons. Yes. Which, which some of it, even though it's for kids, I look and the way it looks and the things they're doing, I go, this is kind of fucked up.

What if you made this and stick with me what if you made this kind of show cartoons show but it's for the daddies it's for the grown-ups it's adults cartoons okay for watching i know and you're getting you're going like can we even do that we don't know either but let's and i'm not a father like even not actually like having yeah i'm like i'm known as the bodfather obviously for some of my routines but like not like having an actual kid i still am like where's the cartoons for like the childless man you know like sure like like where are we uh we actually have a lot of purchasing power like we like we spend money right and we vote as well so So, like, let's consider us in our programming.

And so I think this is for, it's for dads. It's for the childless male. It's for moms. It's for widows. It's for, like, as long as you're an adult, you can really enjoy. It's for twins. It's for adult twins.

And twins. Okay. Right? And twins. Yeah. Absolutely. can really enjoy twins it's for adult twins and twins okay right and twins yeah absolutely which is a yeah is also a huge huge part of the population huge oh my god they have so much money twins are insanely rich it's crazy we don't talk about it enough we should tax every twin double for being people at once yes we're dancing around it like well they don't they don't they save so much on their wardrobe right no i would hope so if you're doing it right you know because it's like they're the same size so it's like oh one

closet you just crawl into one shirt yeah yeah all of a sudden didn't you wear that yesterday that was that was my brother that was him yeah he wore that yesterday he wore that yesterday i wore it today today's today well it stinks it just smells like they're getting rid of it smells bad yeah that's from him i can't really criticize it but it stinks yeah twins twins usually smell bad they stink that they stink i'll go god love them and and and i certainly have a lot of affection for twins i've met a lot of great ones they smell so bad they're so bad and we don't mean to alienate them as listeners or as potential viewers of the cartoon absolutely

not they're so rich yeah we really don't they got so much fucking money yeah but they stink like shit imagine just if you will as as a thought experiment for any for any non-twin listeners which i think is probably most of them it if you think about imagine you took half the money you've spent on clothes in your life and just invested in the market oh just put it into mutual funds oh my god God. And just watch it tick up. How much purchasing power would you have? Dare I say too much? Mm-hmm.

And by the way, that two bedroom that you've been paying for, it's a one bedroom now. Wow. Classic margin call. It's margin call status. I agree. I'm going margin mode on this call you'd be saying um so we we've been like we want to like deal with adult themes and things like that like in our character selection we've been considering a character uh harvey darvinson the adhd otter uh okay is living with living with adhd uh he has it but it doesn't have him okay uh he is cali sober he has chronic fatigue he has more gallons he He has Legionnaires.

Fibromyalgia, obviously, is something that he struggles with. It's not a myth. It's a real condition that people suffer from. And so he's the face of fibromyalgia in the show and hopefully in a lot of communities worldwide when this is released. And he's an empath, but he was raised by narcissists holy smokes see so i think you know i initially i'm i'm kind of having trouble wrapping my head around the idea of adult animation but now that you're presenting these these issues that you don't really want to have in you know uh paw patrol or or the smurfs you know you can really tackle

issues that adults care about i i that is intriguing to me well yeah but you know my kid comes up to me and says hey why why does papa smurf suffer from fibromyalgia yeah and now you got to have that conversation well now yeah there goes my weekend, right? Yeah. Okay, I guess we're at this. Without giving him nightmares, dealing with this, you know, story. Absolutely. And he's medium T as well. Did we mention that? Medium T. Medium T.

Yeah, he's medium T. Mm-hmm. My gosh. Which is its own, like, kind of, it has its own baggage. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. Because it is this thing of you don't really feel special. You feel ignored.

It's middle child syndrome, but with your T levels. Yeah, that's tough. That's gotta be hard. You're almost, you have no identity at that point. Yeah, what about me? Right? I vote. You should. I vote right you should i hope you do i shop you do

yeah well and i and i said i not every time but i'm gonna do it you're gonna do it when you when you know there's all this have that have the time shit around it it's like yeah but i voting voting yeah it doesn't feel like which by the way is like one of the i mean one of the episodes we've been talking about doing with this character is that he's he's trying to vote oh okay and then just kind of the difficulties of you know getting around to it yeah and so what we'd love to do with you is get possibly like a little bit of a scratch track like a vocal sample or our hope is that you'll you'll be able to lay down some of these characters for us so that we can we can animate it later and i

i'm asking now for our fans not to animate any of this that we do. Because it's not. Please, please don't animate this. Uh-oh. Please, you're nervous. Please don't show how talented you are. Yeah, please do not display your abilities on an enormous stage for all of our massive audience of rich, sexy twins. That could be a logistical nightmare for us so do not animate no don't do it but maybe it's um so you're at the uh well i mean how do you

envision it because you're supposed to be voting today it's voting it's vote day it's voting day vote or die and and and And I'm trying to... You mentioned an otter. You said he's a... He's an ADHD otter, yeah. ADHD otter, yeah. He's calisober. He has chronic fatigue.

He has Morgellons. He has Legionnaires. He has fibromyalgia. He has fibromyalgia. The Legionnaires has been misdiagnosed as pneumonia as well. So he is receiving treatment that is ineffective. So, wow. we got it from a from a hotel water feature oh my gosh yeah i i should probably be taking notes it feels like i

got a lot of uh issues to cover this doesn't have to come up in every line but not every scene yeah we talked a little bit we should also i mean there's the voting like before we even get in this cartoon's for adults yeah yeah yeah yep and so we're using like special technology that's like sort of able to detect you know how netflix is able to see like when you're watching and stuff like that this will be able to detect when the kids are in the room oh wow and the kids are gonna have to leave yes the volume will dip until the kids get out of there yeah wow so if there's like new so don't be afraid to go there you know as soon as you guys mention adult cartoons what am i thinking i'm thinking cartoon titties cartoon nutsack cartoon dicks hanging out cartoon fucking cartoon saying fuck you piece of shit like all that cartoon butthole

yeah cartoon but cartoon have cartoon having sex with each other yeah you know okay now i now because you know the world of animation it opens up so many doors now you can go into the butthole yeah yeah i mean those aren't the stories we're wanting to tell like right away i guess that could be happening he's gonna get his first he's gonna get his first like colonoscopy like so like he's that age okay he's voting you know or he's trying to he's an elder millennial okay but like but but also okay you're getting your colonoscopy like does the there's a little tube pop out and be like wow it's dark in there you know what i mean like

because anything can come alive in this world right or are we gonna put there's other i'm just thinking cartoons i'm a kid you know anything can talk i yeah i don't know if we want the tubes to talk i guess i could see kids liking that yeah if the tube talks i don't and if we want the tube to talk. I guess I could see kids liking that. Yeah. If the tube talks, I don't. And this is not to shut down any ideas. I want us to like riff on this totally. Yeah, yeah.

If the tube talks, I don't know what the fuck I'm watching. Like, I don't know why. Right. I'm watching this. Like, I don't know what's going on. I don't know why you would say that. Right. Right, right, right, right, right. You're kind of just like, I know't know what's going on. I don't know why you would say that. Right. Right, right, right, right, right.

You're kind of just like, I know it's animated, but what is it? Yeah, like, why would they do that? So I guess it's in that way I'd be upset and maybe a little disappointed if, like, just as an example like your tube idea would be something that we wouldn't want to do all right fair enough but the and the like what we want the reason it's animated yeah yeah is because by having it be like a nice cute like cartoon otter it makes these themes which are where others fear to tread. Okay. It makes it an easier pill to swallow. Okay.

He is going to be taking a lot of pills, obviously, in this show as well. Sure, yeah, probably addiction, yeah. Yeah, so he is addicted to intimacy and to opioids as well. Okay, okay. And so, go ahead well i'm just trying to so there's so you know maybe the colors like because i think in cartoons i'm thinking you know bright colors and all this maybe it's just like really muted toned down is it like like are we yeah it's brown is that what you're asking? Yeah, everything is brown. It's very bright brown. It's bright brown.

Yeah. Tan or beige, I guess some people would call it. Almost like a sepia? Or is that too... That's got more green in it than I'm picturing. It's more like a crew. It's almost like

a good pair of khakis okay it's sort of what the scene will look like yeah um but he should we i mean should we just lay down kind of the most important thing which is like it's harvey darvinson the adhd otter and he's detecting that kids are present in the room and so he's saying he's saying basically sorry kids i can't go on my adult adventures with you in the house please go sit in the car until we're done yeah all right okay let's get that from harvey and i'm excited to meet harvey and then following that if you could do i guess we're gonna want three or four of just you going i can wait i'll wait okay sure sure sure because the kids are gonna be like they're you know kids can be they're gonna yeah we can and we'll be able to loop that.

They just are like, wait, I need my shoes. I got all day. Okay. All right. Yeah. Got all day, pal. ADHD.

We're going. Right. He's kind of like a more exhausted guy. He's kind of like... Medium T. Medium T. Medium. Medium... Medium T. Medium T. Medium, medium T. Medium, medium T.

Okay, well, I'm on my way to the voting booth. Oh, what's that over there? Maybe I'm getting a little sidetracked. I might want to check out this body shop over here. Maybe I pull over and check out what's going on in this strip club. A one

for the strip club, please. Actually, hold on one second. I have children detected in the room. Please leave the room. Go sit in the car. Please leave the room. Go sit in the car until I'm done.

Can you please go sit in the car until I'm done? Your parents will alert you when you're allowed to come back in. I can wait. I can wait. I'm waiting. I can wait. I'm waiting. I've got all day.

I've got all day. Losing the Morgellons a little bit? I'm losing them. You are maintaining them if we can. Is that what you want me to say? No. I'm losing them. That's what I want you to do. That's what I want you to do. Oh, I'm losing the. You are maintaining them if we can. Is that what you want me to say? No. That's what I want you to do. Oh, I'm losing the effect in my voice.

Yes. We lost track of it. It's fine. It's your first track. Yeah. Getting further away. No. Not again. not again not again is that what it sounds like i'm not super familiar with what is it you're saying

that's the beginning of it that's how it starts for sure yeah kind of like yeah and then it like really unfolds from unfolds so it's kind of okay uh are the kids but we don't see he's got it you know like we like his adhd he has it but it doesn't have him so like we're not gonna see it like enter the sure sure sure sure but it should just kind of be in the back of my mind yep yep um so the kids did turn on this show in the car oh they have it on the ipad or something they yes and so oh boy we're able to detect that as well oh boy so now you say yeah go ahead like i can't believe you i'm i'm disappointed in the way you've disobeyed what I've been telling you. Please turn the iPad

off or to your favorite app. And putting the car into drive now. Your father is putting the car into drive now. You are able to do that. You put the car into drive now. No, you are able to do that. You put the car into drive from the iPad.

Oh, okay. Okay. I'm putting the car into drive now. We're taking you to the babysitter. Please fasten your seatbelt. So we're on our way to the babysitter all right we're on our way please stay seated talk about the babysitter just a little bit yeah just to paint a picture for us sure cynthia is a very nice woman She's sure to have snacks ready for you when you arrive. She's not nice.

Yeah, she shouldn't be because they're disobeying. They've got a nice babysitter. She's a babysitter for liars only. You're kind of rewarding disobedience. Wait, you gotta let me go when I'm ready. You're in trouble now.

Cynthia's going to have something to say to you and might even use some force. Please sit down and turn off the iPad. I'm like emotional abuse. Yeah, we don't want to be liable. Yeah, sure, sure. Not hitting emotional abuse, the most damaging kind you will be taken apart mentally and put back together broken put the ipad down so your father can watch his cartoons that that's feeling that that's feeling good to me sure i guess like i'm worried about a scenario where they jump out of the car and start running down the street with the ipad right

if they like hit the ground and roll and then they're just because i think they are kind of running and like knocking on neighbors doors and stuff oh trying to get into somebody else's house okay um all right maybe maybe you realize that like this is the spy kids that you were that you were actually dealing with the spy kids oh okay all right so it's hopeless to try to get out of the car the doors are locked there's no way out of the car. The doors are locked. There's no way out of the car. What are you doing to the window? Stop breaking the window. No, no. Come back into the car.

Get in the car. Do not go to the door. What are these? Fucking spy kids? I mean, freaking spy kids? Good. Oh, my gosh. It's the spy kids. Did we address all the notes there yeah all right that felt good so

now that we know it's the spy kids my worry becomes that that's more interesting than this this adult cartoon yeah which to me hasn't really you haven't done anything with it you know yeah no no no are you feeling that haze yeah yeah no yeah which i was excited i obviously i was excited for it um and initially when i when i even heard the concept there you know there there's there's tons of things that i love about it you know as we all know the way i would love to hear that i would have loved yeah he goes to one polling location and his t is too high to vote there he goes to the next one now it's too low okay see i wouldn't paper stinks uh yeah i went immediately to like a you know low hanging fruit like that you know he's going to a strip club because this is adult i keep the body shot yeah yeah we we noticed

that i didn't want to note you to death just on your very first take sure um it's there's covid actually i mean that's that's my biggest hole in that is that we are still in a pandemic well and and and that's what i that's what i love about the idea phyllis is because as you know this character i just want to point out is sort of vulnerable because he he does have adhd so yeah so yeah but you know over he's immunocompromised and you know because he's already suffering the entire you know the pandemic we did realize that uh you know these these these animations they're covid proof you know the production did you say over the pandemic you mean still going the pan over the course of we're definitely still going the you you mean still going the now of you you're you're claiming we're still in it uh yeah let me look outside yeah i think i think we're still in it it's fucking it's riddled with covet i'm looking at i'm looking at the street yes

it's covet man there's like there's like little like steam lines coming off the street from there being so much covet out there okay well and it's and you're like okay i'm safe but meanwhile harvey darvinson is walking around with adhd sure well maybe yeah which is a big part of why we wanted to do this show is like part of it is just like everyone seems to have forgotten about the most vulnerable members of our society harvey darvinson stands in for them adhd right legionnaires okay he's got he's he's got fibromyalgia okay got chronic fatigue and so although you're not necessarily selling that in your performance i i think it's good to keep in mind um that he it is representation right yeah i mean yeah that you can call it that like you're

you're saying like words that this person has but i just don't feel like you're actually like tackling the issues behind it if you wanted to go to a strip club what would be interesting is he has type 2 diabetes so okay his blood sugar is crashing the only place nearby to eat is this place the body shop that's an interesting name for a restaurant as he's trying to enjoy you know a a diet peach iced tea snapple and um uh you know big bowl of calamari sure he realizes why it has this name it's a strip club it's it's strip club sure so it's more he's going to the voting booth he gets hungry he has diabetes right is that what we're saying yeah and so he knows he needs some kind of uh some kind of sugar or something or something some food what if it's called like

it's called the candy shop and he's like oh it's a candy shop and then he wanders what if it's called like that it's called the candy shop and he's like oh it's a candy shop and then he wanders in and it's like where's all the candy and then you know maybe you get another character in there like hey hey sugar yeah yeah that's what i'm looking for you know and then and then she kind of starts to figured it out by this point she's saying yeah she goes hey sweet thing and he goes no no no no no yeah don't call me that i know you're referring to me and not candy now which is all i was coming in here for okay he says i'm i'm starting to put this together nice ending to this could be like he petitions her workplace that like it's this is election day and it's federal law that she is

allowed to go on break for as long as it takes for her to vote and she needs to stay in line until the voting is done yeah they have. They have to let you vote. Even if you have ADHD, they have to honor your vote if you stay in line. And yes, and if you have ADHD and you wander off, if you have an interesting idea for a game and you wander off and you develop the game and you watch YouTube videos about programming, they have to let you come back and you develop the game and you watch youtube videos about about programming

they have to let you come back and vote wow wow i mean i think i'm getting it now i think i'm getting what this adult animation thing is all about now yeah and it's fine like i love to kind of experiment and like feel around for like what's's an idea that we all can get on board for. I think ever since the talking tube thing you did, I've been a little bit thrown just because that was so far from what I think anyone would want to see. Sure. Yeah, I guess when I hear a cartoon, I go back back to my my childhood and i'm like yeah these are places where you can let your imagination flourish but yeah i just don't want to be making fun of some of these issues uh-huh i i'm worried that it can feel like we're like poking fun at something

that's actually pretty serious for a lot of people and so if the tube's talking i go like or are they basically saying that um i don't know the adhd does have him sure and i get that i get that unfortunately blake i just want to announce that the kids have turned on the show at school. Oh, Jesus. The whole school can see it. They've now gone to school and they turned it on the school TV. They put it on the public announcements and it's playing in every room.

Yes. Okay. So you've got to put your Harvey Darvinson. You need to put a stop to this right now. All the kids in school are now watching an adult animation. Emergency. All students, under your desks, cover your heads. Good.

Close your eyes and plug your ears. There's nothing to see here. As for you little shits, you little son of a bitches, what are you doing? Get back to your freaking home and get in your room. There are adult teachers at the school, I just want to say. And I'd like to keep them entertained. That is our audience. Yeah, the teachers need to keep watching it.

Yeah. Okay. And so maybe we take a break. Maybe tell them that critical race theory class is canceled for today and all the teachers they're like their job is to now watch this animation for adults okay so maybe go occupy yourself with some times tables and hand the iPad over to the principal so that he can enjoy some sweet, sweet Harvey ADHD Otter. Harvey Darvinson.

you don't use cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocket money.com slash the boys that's rocket money.com slash the boys rocket money.com slash the boys kevin you had some scenario like go ahead i just know kevin had like some scenarios that like yeah some real life stuff that he was like hoping to um kevin's you know he's uh he is not technically an elder millennial by age, but he is diagnosed an elder millennial just recently. So he has stuff that he can kind of share about some situations that Harvey Darvinson could be in. Yeah, sure. Harvey catches up with his friend Roscoe the Raccoon. He's a tattoo prank artist, but sometimes he gets in trouble for it because it's actually fake

tattoos but the people think they're real and he's like no no this is a joke this is a joke and they think it's are you kidding me they put like a big swear across the forehead when it was supposed to be like bae's name oh my gosh yeah i don't is there a way to edit the the the swear from his forehead off when the children's enter the room yeah i don't know if we can be if we can put swears on there say like but once they see it once the spy kids see that it's over is butthead i i like that i like that pitch But here's an homage to Spy Kids. Famous scene where they say, holy shit, talky mushrooms. I lost it in the theaters.

Maybe that says shit. And then they rotate and it says talky mushrooms. I'm like, it keeps going like down their head or something. That's right. You guys like that? you guys don't like that uh some people have like some people have sensitivity to shiitake mushrooms yeah what i'm what i'm worried about is food allergies and then it's gonna feel like we're making fun of that okay yeah like i would like to be i know it might seem radical i'd like to be

inclusive uh in the content that we're making sure um well i don't want to say to certain people like hey this just literally isn't for you because you have a food sensitivity and that's a joke to us. It doesn't really sound, to me, like a show that would be very fun. Sure, sure. Well, I guess, do you have to have all the sensitivities to everybody in every single cartoon? Can't one cartoon address one issue and the other? It feels like this one is addressing every single issue.

What do you have left at that point? Other than it comes off as some kind of medical instruction video. So you do not, like you don't, on Woke, you don't do any medical instruction at all? Yeah, like you're ostensibly here to promote Woke and you're kind of making it sound like there's no medical instruction in the show um this is so interesting because i've been noticing that people are actually dying every day sure and i've been sort of like wondering like what's up

with the like in the richest country in the world all these people are dying like it kind of doesn't the richest country in the world all these people are dying like it kind of doesn't add up why is this happening okay now it does kind of make sense you're using your platform to not give any medical instruction sure at all what what is the responsibility of the media well i mean that i feel like that's a whole nother cartoon it's well the answer is actually medical instruction okay right fair enough i mean yeah and the richest country in the world where people are dying every day sure it's actually a pretty easy one right that the responsibility especially if we have shows no offense like, that are not addressing it at all from what I'm hearing.

We have still in the pipeline, Harvey Darvinson, not finished. And a lot of times not dealing with some of the issues that they set out to tackle. And I include myself in the word they there because I am one of the creators, co-creators. Absolutely. And I'm applauding you guys at taking such a huge bite and really trying to address everything. But I just think that at some point, these messages, it gets a little too complex and

it can't even really focus like you guys are throwing all these things on me that i it would take me months of studying to even know some of these you know it is for adults right yeah so you know what i mean so your pitch would be i guess that harvey darbleton has like just like a huge hog and stuff just like one thing at a time he would he does does it help like he yeah i mean i'm it makes me it makes me chuckle a little bit yeah like okay yeah like but you're now you're saying that the hog has to be so big that it's medically a problem that would be yeah and your version of it i guess that would be one episode is that he's um whatever he's ordering like special underwear and then he's like going to uh various professionals

and he's you know kind of being presented to a class of medical students and they're kind of they're addressing like um the challenges that he's facing in his everyday life from this hog that is debilitatingly large. His hog has a huge bone in it. Oh, damn. Like a spine. Like his penis has a spine. No, I mean, it's not like a bunch of different. It's just one huge, big old bone.

One bone. And for him. It has osteoporosis. And to honor the reality of him being an otter too it's actually making that he can't catch fish in the riverbed oh he doesn't use his hog is getting to the riverbed so long before he is and it's basically letting the fish know that like okay in a couple minutes harvey's gonna be here yeah it serves as well okay well maybe you could you know spin that into he begins to know how to start to use his hog

as like a harpoon device. What would that sound like? Yeah, let's hear that. Let's hear him figuring that out. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Back to the river. I hope I don't scare the fish away

with my huge hog with a bone in it. I've got to figure out something because every time my hog hits the water the fish skedaddle and then is there maybe like this feels like it's for kids to me i i hate i mean some of the content like i guess the hog thing would it be a story but yeah i think you're kind of stuck in this old way of thinking of cartoons being for kids. Yeah. We're so far ahead of this now. Well, and you know... Why would he even like say this stuff out loud, you know? Yeah.

He's like a single adult. Yeah, I guess that was... I'm kind of thinking he's not saying it aloud. Because it's a cartoon, you got the inner monologue, you know? You can kind of go into his brain and and hear what he's thinking right but maybe that could be interesting or he could have a gratitude journal we could be hearing from that if he's reading from his gratitude journal uh but would he be bringing up the fact that the hog makes the fish swim away in the gratitude journal that feels like something

that probably wouldn't well maybe if he's figured out how to use it as a harpoon today but that's what i thought i was fine i thought it was the moment of discovery believe me me too yeah right right i kind of i kind of went back to day one where yeah yeah i just to say it just because we are going to get another take on this please don't make any tubes talk or anything in this way. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure. No, I was kind of like thinking, oh, maybe would it be okay if there was an owl at the river up in the tree? And he's like, you know, like, hello, old chap.

I couldn't help but notice. Every week you come down here. And this is my audition for the owl. Every week you come down here and you scare the fish away with your giant hog. Have you thought of using it as a tool? Huh? Huh, he says. This is back to Harvey.

Uh, no, I... What do you mean? Well, perhaps if you took the sharp end of your hog and used it as a harpoon. Wow! Right? I i my blood sugar is low i could use a meal anything i i don't think we need the owl like i just don't think we need it wow all right like what i i love that it was like something that would talk not like a tube so that to me was

such a step in the right direction yeah so using the hog as a harpoon let's investigate that because a harpoon i think of as a projectile though yeah it's the sharps and the sharpness of the sharp yeah using the sharp end of it i guess you brought that to the table i'm not saying we can't do it sure i should have said spear is that what you wanted me to say not really i mean like the it's just like the hog sure it's so much bigger than the fish right it would basically be like shooting a cannonball at the fish yeah

I mean I'm having a lot of trouble picturing the hog okay which is like obviously not what we want for the show um right but I I think like um I liked, I guess.

You guess. Okay. I liked, I guess, like, that he wasn't, well, I liked that Harvey wasn't a tube either, just because that would have taken me out of it. Like, I like that he's an otter here. Like, you know, and I said the tube thing like really early early on i was really concerned that he was going to be a tube yeah yeah and because of what happened before and that was a and i and that was a silly suggestion and i just yeah i guess i feel like i've been walking on eggshells ever since i'm just going like okay is he like not gonna connect to

what the what the mission is for the show so i'm i'm really happy we're getting that settled and that's out in the open um yeah i guess it is kind of like a you know one step forward two steps back with this whole process it's felt like like as soon as i guess we we could use the prank tattoo character to like do a prank tattoo on the hog okay uh-huh great well maybe they're trying to maybe it's they're trying to make it look like a common object they're trying to make it look like an umbrella or something so that it's not so ostentatious like so that he can kind of have his hog out which and it can be comfortable without it being um obscene well

maybe he could uh oh that's adult that's adult right in the way that you wanted it to be comfortable without it being um obscene well maybe he could uh oh that's adult that's adult right in the way that you wanted it to be i think blake yeah well by uh by adult yeah i guess i'm i'm yeah it's the boobs and the butts and the and the hogs and stuff like that what if he what if he tattoos his hog to look kind of like a piece of bait like could be a piece of bait could be a street like a nature scene and then the the fish are they're swimming up well it looks like a tunnel like it's like a sort of wiley coyote thing where it looks like a tunnel uh underwater cave that the fish could swim into and yeah and then next thing they know they're they're at the the wrong end of uh of the spike in his hog that's good that's good you guys that's good right the sharpness and the spike right i've just i'm

having so much trouble picturing the hog it has a huge bone in it yeah but the bone, I mean, it's not that sharp. Can I say for myself, I'm not super comfortable with how much of this has become about the hog, describing it, the spike that's in it, the size of it, the bone that's in it, the tattoo that might go on it. I feel like we've kind of lost sight. We haven't talked about fibromyalgia, i don't know how long well right the adhd and and the implications of that for like even using this this hog which i now i'm bringing it up as as a tool for fishing um well we're not

investigating that and so it feels like we've gotten away from protecting the character that we initially set out to create. Sure. There's the, those issues as well, but you know, you say you're uncomfortable, but I think that's half of the battle with people with huge hogs is it's not a

comfortable topic. And that, and it's what I'm realizing is why we need adult cartoons because they're touching on topics that aren't comfortable. Where else am I going to go to have an episode dedicated to a hog so big that I'm an outcast of society? It's affecting, I can't even eat. My source of food is gone because my dick is so huge.

And why now? Like now like honestly like this is like we are still in a pandemic right so you can claim we still don't know a lot of what like the long-term symptoms are i am hearing that one of them could be having a giant bone in your hog yeah that it grows in there okay that's and so it really answers it does answer the question of why now blake and sorry for checking you on that i am i am just like i was so gun shy after the tube thing uh i think it made me question sort of like all your other instincts but that uh my whole career and that wasn't fair and that wasn't fair um because it's like someone can uh obviously

have an idea that is kind of antithetical to like what storytelling and and and comedy and adult cartoons are are even supposed to be and still have something very valuable to offer in terms of like i mean you wanted to put the the spike in in his uh in his hog yeah um and i'm realizing that if if we are going to do this fishing tool story right that's actually really helpful okay because i was about to pivot, maybe instead of it's Spike, maybe he uses it as a club. He could bash, you know, fish over the head.

So unfortunately, the Spy Kids are physically removing the bone from his hog. They're giving him a bonectomy right now. Oh. So the Spy Kids have broken

into the world of the cartoon. And it is because you didn't really effectively stop them at any point so they've been able to do you actually ended up distracting the principal with adult animation he was the only one that could control them now they are giving harvey darvinson a bone act of me and like his hog is so huge that like that's actually the the most effective way to get to him like he he doesn't even he can't even see it coming when you're yeah and he can't reach you to stop you yeah you're so far away his arms are like very small like to begin with and so let's just hear that you need to stop the Spy Kids

from giving Harvey Darvinson a bonectomy. Sure. And then I, yeah, ADHD. ADHD. He's cowly, sober. He has chronic fatigue. He has Morgellons. He has Legionnaires.

He has fibromyalgia. Should I still be wrapped around the idea that he's brown? He's an empath. He was raised by narcissists.'s bright brown okay oh what are the spy kids doing at the river how is this even possible it's because you kids at home didn't turn the ipad off what were you thinking if you just would have listened to your parents and turned it off. Oh, you're grabbing the bone out of my hog. Oh, they're beating me to death with the bone in my hog. This is your fault.

ADHD never had me. COVID is still rampant. Diabetes is a serious thing. Vote or die. And the kids now carry that with them. And now we've created a generation of empaths. Wow. It's like the whole point is just and obviously the cartoon ultimately although it was for adults and really ended up being for kids specifically spy kids

wow yeah wow so what's going on in woke season two what are you guys uh wow so what's going on in woke season two what are you guys dealing yeah man like yeah sure yeah uh you know i just know that's coming out i thought you might want to plug it a little bit so what's somebody is there anything you can tease any of the stories that we well yeah interesting enough you know they wear that hat in the show no this is cast and crew only but uh you know it's it's uh i'm i'm just in love with it but uh yeah season two april 8th you know we're back with keith and we're finding out you know once you have a platform where do you kind of go from there you know what what is your duty as someone with a voice in society you know so it's just kind of like that juggling that. So, and it's, it's, it's, it's medical

education. Uh, that, um, not it's, it's not important. So what do you guys talk about on this is important pod. Uh, yeah, you know, we kind of just, we kind of, we keep that really loose. We don't try to get too, we say, polycharged, politically charged or anything like that. It's just kind of a fun, just friends talking. You guys are poly in it. No, we're just us. We're just us friends just kind of chit-chatting.

Freak Brothers? Freak Brothers, it's a cartoon on 2B, 2B or not 2B that's the team I'm riding with Sean said that I think in our last episode we are going to have to cut this off now because that is a callback

and we hit it and so that is bye for now
