Episode 37: Genital Talk (Scientific)

This week the boys discuss the bits and bobs on the human body left over from our monkey days. Oh what days those were. Sitting in trees, eating fruit, fighting other monkeys. Even better, back when we were simple fish. No lofty dreams of walking or driving cars. Only swim and eat. Can you imagine? The sweet bliss of fish existence. And then one fish said to another, "Glub Glub" (Translated: "Brother, I long for more! For the surface, where there is open fields and an endless bounty of foods"). The other fish, being older and wiser, responded in kind, "Glub Glub" (Translated: "Nay, you fool! your youth grants you courage and ambition, but it clouds your mind with visions of grandeur and luxury. In your endless drive for adventure you shall doom not just yourself, but your very soul!"). And then the younger fish grew legs and went on land and now I have to pay rent so fuck that fish, I hate him.  Got a question that needs answers?
