DeepFried Scrolls

A 54-hour workweek sends Unk into a full-blown employment crisis as a previously retired SpongeBob-related insult makes its triumphant return. Somewhere between questioning whether God is trying to push him out of his comfort zone, dodging fake basketball players outside Kroger and making sure potential unemployment doesn’t interfere with proper hygiene, Unk has to decide just how much control over his time he’s willing to give away.

While folding clothes at home, Unk plots on a complete stranger’s downfall, revisits the hater who accidentally changed DFL history and establishes the laws of proper wife beater maintenance. Somewhere between Wiz Khalifa’s cultural immortality, a comma finally appearing in the bank account and realizing the DFL warehouse is currently under his bed, Unk starts imagining what life could look like if all this shit actually works.

Over the course of four unexpectedly eventful days, Unk rides through Nashville eating a pork chop like a lollipop, reconnects with someone he hasn’t truly spoken to in years and gets an uncomfortable glimpse at where he’ll be in 2039. Somewhere between thinking he got fired, rage-eating McDonald’s after a brutal restaurant shift and flirting his way through an art show, a stray cat walks directly into his apartment and somehow leaves with a new family before the night is over.

A business meeting forces Unk to imagine a version of Deep Fried Logic bigger than himself, while a potential new job has him seriously considering life as a cross-country driver with entirely too much access to Hinge. Somewhere between planning his nationwide reign of terror, questioning whether he needs to leave Nashville at all and performing lunges in a weighted vest, Unk pauses to deliver what may be the most important lesson of the episode: the proper etiquette for eating half a bird of Nashville hot chicken.

After Apple mysteriously destroys half of what Unk swears was one of the greatest walks of his life, he pours a glass of wine and attempts to reconstruct the missing footage. What survives includes a pork chop-induced crisis of hypocrisy, the official funeral of an old situationship, a harsh sticker-pack reality check and two distressed strangers who somehow turn Unk into Nashville’s newest weighted-vest vigilante.

Deep Fried Logic might finally be becoming bigger than Unk. After bringing a lifelong friend into the operation, shipping his first sticker orders and plotting his own version of Adult Swim, Unk celebrates CEO day the only way he knows how: becoming a bingo champion, eating a pickle dog, waking up next to the Warm Witty White Girl and remembering the most secretive teammate he ever had, a man who once allegedly asked to be dropped off on the interstate rather than reveal where he lived.

After surviving the summer from hell, Unk finally gets a taste of freedom again. A late night with the Warm Witty White Girl comes with an unexpected invoice, a solo trip to see Project Pat turns into three hours of opening-act purgatory and a sermon, and somewhere between no sleep, lemon-pepper wings and an e-bike ride through Nashville, Unk realizes he might be living through peak 25.

Unk leaves work in an unusually good mood and somehow ends up celebrating an Alzheimer’s patient with three dates, reconsidering fatherhood after meeting a 70-year-old with an 11-year-old son, and accidentally lining up a third job through an old friend. Somewhere between condom sermons, Indeed searches, old workplace trauma and a growing Discord, Unk realizes his life is finally moving again and Deep Fried Logic is becoming something bigger than a one-man operation.

A debate about the news accidentally lands Unk a date with the warm, witty coworker—but his new restaurant life forces him to choose between getting money and actually having a life. After missing the HBCU function, descending into Mighty Wings nostalgia, and suffering a water-jug breakdown, Unk begins to wonder if the life he’s building might be beating his ass.

One year after recording the first Deep Fried Scroll, Unk retraces his original walking route to see what’s changed. Along the way, he builds an Alzheimer’s patient a Hinge profile, considers a future in Brooklyn, narrowly resists a thick nurse, plays a xylophone made of french fries, and wonders whether success will someday turn him into the exact kind of nigga he hates.
