Universal Basic Guys’ Adam Malamut & Craig Malamut on How They Relate to Mark & Hank Hoagies

hi I'm Ariana nice to meet you he so great to meet you so um the show we've only seen the first episode but music seems to be a large part of it you explain the premise of the show Within song There's um monkeyy song RP monkey already um is music going to be a big aspect of the show and if so why uh wow that's a really great question so we like music we like write music and that's a big part of what we do I there is some music in the show and this season season two which we're writing now there is maybe even a little more big song number um and we did write the theme song and stuff like that um you know but uh it's we'd like to be more a bigger part of the show I would say we had done some musical one-offs back in the day we did like super team parody for the Warriors we had done um Pingus one yeah chrh porzingis song so we've done some sports musicals uh but we definitely antip at more and more music as we go because writing songs is like the most fun thing and we love writing catchy songs and so yeah we want to see more so the show is about brothers you guys are brothers um do either you relate to one of the brothers more so than others yeah they're Loosely Loosely based on our Dynamic but I would say our Dynamic back when I was like 9 years old and Adam was like 15 so like I was like Adam was like this charismatic like uh I used to be yeah like funny wild crazy ideas and I was just kind of this like stupid naive child who beli everything he said and would follow him around and do whatever weird schemes he was up to and so we kind of said like what if we take that Dynamic and just put it into adults um and that's sort of yeah so like I definitely am more Mark who's like the now it all let me tell you something here's how it is okay and then uh Craig is more like Hank who's innocent what used to be now he's my boss basically but he was like oh yeah Mor that sounds like a great idea real simple and happy so uh yeah yeah pure of heart yeah when crafting the kind of pilot episode well is the first episode the intended to be the first episode you want to people to see uh yeah so the first episode we wrote was literally the first 22 minutes script we'd ever written and it's lightly touches on the premise but there's no real premise pilot right now we do have a whole origin story and we're we have that we have uh we think we want to put out at some point and maybe do like kind of do a prequel type of thing yeah but uh the first the first episode has a little more talk about their situation than than others but it's not a true premise pilot I don't know if it's going to be the first one that airs we are unclear if it's if yeah actually we don't exactly know the pilot episode for us was the bow hunting episode but it can really air in different orders because as you said like the title sequence kind of explains yeah we did squeeze a lot of the premise into the title sequence so that uh yeah you can just watch that and kind of get a sense of what's going on yeah yeah but for the episode about monkey and also a face transplant what does that really tell people about these characters that it's just like this is what you need to know and this is what really introduces you to the show in this character Dynamic yeah was the two thing I think hopefully was storytelling that like it's things happen when you don't expect and kind of like you're just not knowing what's going to happen where things are going to go so that's one thing and I think also like the impulsive nature of Mark for example and the sweetness of Hank comes through and I think that that is really uh display on that particular episode yes awesome thank you so much for taking time to talk to me thank you for taking the time to talk to us thanks
