Snideful: Inside the Writers' Room

We made an episode

Oops! Todd lost an episode so you're skipping one! In the last one we explored the romantic past between Stan and the space pirate Anabel. In this episode, we sort of do a Halloween special except not really. In keeping with the theme of the month, we look at sugar addiction and how it destroys lives. All that and a few tangents if you would just push play!

In order to provide relief in the wake of the global internet shortage, world organizations are arranging outreach camps where affected individuals can seek resources. Naturally, this means a black market has surfaced to exploit the desperation of the downtrodden. Todd's gambling addiction in particular has been difficult to satiate and so the boys are in search of counselling. Luckily for them, Better Help is the hottest new service offering help for betters. But is something nefarious afoot behind the scenes?

We're back! We took the summer off and now we're as refreshed as two thirtysomething men with failing nervous systems can be! So we're here to tell stories again. And this time around, we'd like to discuss Addiction. We've hinted at Tucker and Todd struggling with various vices over the years but never shined a light on the depth of the issue. So this month while we take a break from some of our unhealthy habits, let us explore where they come from and what they look like on the Outside!!!!

A year ago we made a list of mashups between subgenres that we don't often see paired together. One of our favorite combinations off that list was Fantasy-Western. Brickwork and thatched-roof fairytale towns plagued with bank robbers and cattle rustlers. A medieval civilization in its Wild West era. Six-shooters and spellcraft. So in this episode we do a bunch of worldbuilding!

We all know the story about the Grinch who got bumped off course to his home and ended up raised in a village of hedonistic Whos. But what happened to the baby Who girl bumped off her course? Where did she end up? What is her story? We’ll find out in this episode.

So two episodes back we brainstormed ideas for skits inspired by the #manorbear thought experiment. This week we recorded the dialogue for the skits we wrote. It's a bit of a silly, giggly mess but we had a lot of fun so we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
