A heavy hello to you my friend! I'm most glad you've come to see us off as we set sail to the undying lands. This burden has become too heavy for me to bear in this life. At least for a few weeks while I rest and get ready for season two! For now, here is the grand finale of Season One of the Hot Take Clambake podcast.
Ken's eyes are red as he says goodbye for now- not from tears of sadness, but rather from tears of bong induced coughing fits. He takes his time to give special appreciation to one of our most avid callers, learns way too much about that guy's medical history, then tries to get a search party together. Even if its a search party, its still a party!

Spaghetti Sweater Weather
Hello & howdy do! Welcome to the Podcast Powered By YouTM. We're in for a strange episode today! In a format we will likely never do again lmao But hopefully for this time its fun! Let me know if we should do it again next season :)
Ken gets lit and finds himself in a sing-songy cleaning mood akin to that of a Disney Princess. He apologizes to his momma, cleans out his mailbox, and gets peeking-out-the-blinds level paranoid for a minute. Come on down and clown around!

Smoking With the Choir
Hallelujah & Holla Back my child! We're talking about that shit u already know, but talking about how it is for me specifically, ya feel? I think you definitely will.
Ken lights the ceremonial incense and sways it all the way to the altar to defend his disgusting POT addiction (puke emoji), share some of his early cannabis experiences, and almost goes 187 on an undercover op. Keep your lip zipped about it if you know what's good for you!

Pool Party Water Sports
Greetings comrades! Welcome back to the first of our Elite Four episodes! A concept I totally came up with on my own that wasn't influenced by anything. So jump on in, and come swim near me! The water is extra warm :)
Ken takes a dip, then turns the pool in to a gravity bong to discuss plausible deniability, tell a traumatizing story, and brag about how hard he can piss. Make sure to bring a towel!!

Hot Take One-Hitter #1 (Minisode!)
Hey there son, how ya feeling? Just checking in, I know that fight between me and your mom was a bit rough... I'm sorry you had to see that. But, honestly? I deserved it. I haven't been there enough and... and, well, I promise I'm going to. Soon as I go find my severed penis off I-95, we're gonna be a family again. So, yeah, just wanted to check in.
What the fuck was that! I don't know either but I'm keeping it. Ken pops in for a minisode today and lays on your chaise lounge to threaten your dog, channel the Holy Spirit to serenade you, and then breaks down for a tragic announcement. Hopefully its fun!!

Greetings trainers! And welcome, to the Clam Jam region! Home to many strange & wondrous beings we cannot legally call Pokémon!
Join our brave host & mentor, Ken Higaonna, as he turns his hat backwards to keep the smoke out of his eyes and get deep in to Pokémon. He sings the praises of his favorite starter, bullies some he doesn't like, and finally reveals his favorite of all time!

Hot Take CUMbake: An XXX Parody
Greetings once more my Clammiest of Jammers! Let's get sultry & sensual, but only if its consensual!
Ken spends the whole day getting stoned like the free spirited nudists before him- usually called witches. Kidding! He gets high & discusses the importance of story, busts out his PhD in Pornography Studies, and both admires & fears his brother's body. It's a weird one alright!

Good morning my sleepy little clam jammers! I hope you slept well. Sleep, after all, is not only necessary for a successful day, but also best preparation for the longest sleep :) <3
A tired Ken wipes the sleep from his eyes to have a cannabis breakfast! He gets cancelled by the federal government, describes the hellscape of Twitter to regular humans, and tries to get Elon to buy him a horse.

As I Lay Eating
Boy howdy, you done showed up at the right time! We went n' got us a nice old clambake in here, right brimmin' with hot takes! Come on over n' take a taste, pardner.
Ken shines bright as a firework with twice the smoke as he stutters & stammers his way through todays episode. He rotates a 4D cheeseburger in his mind, has a revelation, and pivots the podcast in to a food box subscription.

A Red Flag & A Foul Ball
Claaaaaaaaam Jammers! Your father is home!! It's me! I'm your father. But in the 1950's sense where you are simply an object to me and I could leave at any time. Now fetch me the paper and my robe.
Ken just got back and boy are his arms tired! From fighting strangers for cash money on the streets of Philadelphia! Kidding, I drove. Join me as I get lit like a tit to doxx a listener, help with a rude friend, and bust some freakin balls. Enjoyment guaranteed, or your money back!

You Did a Bang Up Job on That One, Edwin J Toaster
What's the haps, caps? Hope you missed me as much as I missed you!! Let's get in to LIT (not literature, just getting like, lit, aha)
Ken gets stoney bologna, drinks, & drools by himself while debating quite possibly one of the greatest questions of our time! Along the way we manage to slam some poetry, seek a skilled chemist, and unlock some core memories. If you like clammin & jammin, this one's for you!

Happy Monday Clam Jammers, Clam Bakers, and Clamlets! What's the difference? I don't know yet! But it sounds cool! Hopefully this episode does too!
Today, Ken hangs high & not very dry *tongue emoji* by his lonesome while he builds his ideal morning, begs Guayaki Yerba Mate for a sponsorship, and disparages frozen bacon egg & cheeses.

Surf vs Turf
Hello again Clam Jammers! I hope you practiced for the chorus, because Ken did not!
