Hi, welcome to Wizard and the Bruiser.

I am the Wizard, Jake Young.

And I'm the Bruiser, Holder McNeely, and all you girls out there calling me the loser, I'll challenge you to a one-on-one street fight. It's because you respond so much that they keep calling you that. You know, and I think it's actually a complex, I'm pretty sure nobody's calling me that, but I'm just assuming they are. And they're like sewing circles. I heard someone call you that. See? Somebody's saying it. I know they're saying it. I can get it. I feel the psychic vibes. In the studio with us, a freshly shorn Marcus Park Superproducer. How you doing? Oh, yeah. I got a fancy boy hat that. He went from Swamp Boy to businessman.

And speaking of businessman, we are going to go into the evolution, the development,

into the golden age that people call it, of Cartoon Network.

Cartoon Network.

Now it's like, you know, it's interesting. It now a days we take it for granted, I feel like.

These sorts of 24-hour programming, just all of the, all of the things that would not exist today without the Cartoon Network and how it was originally begun, you know?

I mean, yeah.

Well, doing research for this episode because basically what I had seen on the internet

was a lot of people talking about how Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon had lost its way somehow

that, like, there was this deviation from a better past, which I feel like is just now

kids that grew up watching Ed, Ed and Eddie are getting old enough to be like,

cartoons now are bad.
