Guaranteed Human.

Hello, the internet, and welcome to this spin-off episode of Dirtyly Zykeyes, which

0:12.5

we're calling the iconograph.

0:14.4

Instead of looking at the Zykeyes through current events on Monday mornings, we're looking

0:18.5

at the Zykeyes through the powerful pop culture horrocks that are our icon.

0:23.8

We use these icons to create meaning, to build identity, to find the perfect way to

0:30.1

end the phrase, no shit, to learn that sometimes the hat has the flap in the front,

1:31.3

Yeah. Ooh. Which a bassetound can stalk some deers. Maybe not. It all works out. Maybe this is my Barrenstein Bears or something.
