Remember Balloonfest '86 ?! The ill-conceived fundraising event in Cleveland in 1986 that released over 1.4 million balloons into the sky and was immediately deemed to be a self-inflicted, man-made disaster? Neither does Bailey, the collective consciousness of approximately 5000 of those original balloons. Apparently, it takes several weeks for a balloon consciousness to form. But he's seen the footage of his "birth" I guess we'll call it? Anyway, on his life's journey to find and regro...

Jason and Bradney are visited by a god. More specifically, the god of stranded hearts. I know, it sounds really sweet. But, honestly, the heart is just a shape. Hailing from Undoof, the realm of the gods, Good the God apparates onto the island, ostensibly, to offer solace. Instead, it's mostly just all new sorts of chaos. And a homunculus. Or two. Oh, and a 2004 Dodge Durango! Good the God is performed by Adal Rifai. Adal is the creator and co-host of the podcast Hey...

The castaways spend a long lunch break with Carol, a lawyer (and mermaid ) who is concerned about a very serious case.

Carol is performed by Meaghan Strickland Meaghan is a comedian in LA formerly of NY and Chicago. She hosts Funny Games at The Elysian Theater and Horse Around Comedy Show at Nico's/Baby Bat...

Jason details a bit more of his past working in television. Well, it was early streaming actually, and even then, it never made it "to air". And Bradney takes a trip. No, sorry, that's not exactly right. Bradney trips. Or maybe...it really happened. "Real" is so dang tricky in this whole situation.

Of all the islands for a stressed out mom to somehow wind up on, this one has got to be the least helpful. That being said, while bellicose (but self-described as "warm") Sue is ultimately looking for her troubled teenage son, she does manage to find some good, drug-free sleep in the end. So there is that. Sue Pelosi is performed by Carly Strait Carly Strait is a Chicago trained/LA based comedian, actor and writer.

The new empty nesters, Jason and Bradney, barely have time to consider their new status before they are confronted with a very particular sort of rescue operation.

Jason has some ideas about the nature of the island. Maybe he's onto someting. But sometimes it's hard to differentiate a good idea from a coping mechanism. Potato potato, perhaps?

Following the trauma of encountering the indescribable, incomprehensible horrors of his underwater outing, Bradney seems a little different today. Maybe he's finally warming up to this place. Maybe he's just completely disassociating. It's hard to say. Jason isn't a qualified...well, anything really. Perhaps Bradney can talk to his catch o' the day... Oh and there's a pretty shattering discovery at the end too. This place just doesn't let up, does it? You can contact Su...

A funny little hand puppet arrives in one of the boxes. And it doesn't exactly go well. In fact, it goes very, very badly. Also, the two castaways take turns taking a dip with their new snorkel. Their experiences couldn't be more different. Seems like Bradney's mind is really starting to break. Or maybe this is is all really happening. It's all just sort of a mess. Again. You can contact Subjects Jason and Bradney by email at - acartoonisland@gmail.c...
