7.23.07 Don't Forget to Breathe, Hey guys. Wanted to say - almost 6 weeks ago now Episode 4 was put up on the website and since then I've been trying desperately to get mine and Clark's final cut of the episode posted. The main difference being that it now features an incredible song that we were fortunate enough to use - due solely to the generosity of one of our favorite bands, "Beulah."
I contacted Miles Kurosky of Beulah about a week prior to the episode being posted and he responded immediately. After a few email exchanges, he told us that we could use the song in the episode, despite the fact that we could in no way remunerate for such a gem. That said, I would have been heartbroken if we couldn't use the song, as it is absolutely perfect in the episode (I think) and it's also one of my favorite songs.
In summation, if you have any taste in music PLEASE go buy all of Beulah's albums, they are all musical massages. My endless thanks to Miles and Beulah for letting us use "Don't Forget to Breathe" in episode 4, and my endless thanks to those of you who are going to go out and stock up on Beulah music.
Beulahly,

7.19.07 Feeling Honest, Anyway guys, the show's almost nearing the end. Episode 10 is right around the corner. Fortunately, I feel like the show will live on since it's on the Internet! The episodes could potentially be online forever and you can keep telling your friends about it for years and years! It can bring you and a family member closer together. It can help you do your homework. It can sit and kiss your forehead until you feel better after a long string of athletic non-triumphs.
In all honesty, I hope you folks have enjoyed the show. I know some of you feel the episodes are a little short, or maybe you feel 10 episodes is something of an abbreviated thought, but all we wanted to do was make something that was short, both in length and in lifespan, that people would actually watch and enjoy. I hope the show meant something to you - it means everything to Clark and myself that you guys would take the time to watch it. I hope with every fiber of my being that you like episode 10, and that you continue to re-watch the episodes at your leisure in various private circumstances.
Please like episode 10.
Fondly,
- boyboy
7.16.07 Boy it's been a while since I've blogged! To the six of you that read these blogs, I sincerely apologize. Like Mike said, it's been a crazy time lately. I just want to say that we really appreciate everybody who's spreading the word about the show. I just came back from New York City (pause for applause) and I met a lot of cool people who are fans of the show. And like they say, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere... so I guess the show has made it anywhere.

7.12.07 Long-Time Readers, Viewers, Friends, and Enemies, It's been a hectic few weeks! Clark is currently right in the thick of working on his new show, "Greek," and I've been flying from major city to major city promoting my new line of Male fragrance applications. If you have some time and a crisp $118 bill, please pick up a bottle of my new spray, "ManScent."
My laptop recently committed suicide, but now I am back and all systems are what appear to be "go." The show is almost over, friends. I hope you enjoy the last two episodes. We made them with such a twinkle in our eyes, knowing they had to be the best of the bunch. Please think that they are.
Affectively,
- Mike
6.27.07 Start With Something Positive Hi guys. Some exciting news: I just found out that the relatively constant aching on the left side of my jaw is quite possibly not permanent! I went over to the jaw doctor (jawctor) today and after some thorough sitting on his lap and answering questions and explaining the different pains to him, he prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication. He then informed me that the only known side-effect to the medication (though extremely rare) is sudden death.
In worse news: there was very little that he, being a dental professional, could do about the strange reaction that my skin is having to my new diet.
I hope you folks have been enjoying the show so far, we've only got a few episodes left! Be sure to watch for brief cameo by special guest star Tom Cruise (professional actor) in episode 10, as "Clark Duke."

6.14.07 Hi folks, For those of you who are reading Clark's and my blogs, thanks so much. Hope you're finding them informative, romantic, engaging, affiliating, remunerating, evacuating, elucidating and satisfying.
Clark and I recently did an online interview for Collider.com. The interview is extremely expansive and talks a lot about the show, answering questions most people dare not ask. It addresses how we wrote the show, how many episodes we're making, some of the struggles we conquered, etc. If you wish to check it out, go to the following link:
6.07.07 Beautiful Babies, What a time we're having. The weather's beautiful, there's a new episode up every Wednesday, the good news of Chris' biopsy... but in the middle of all this good-timing, some of you may have forgotten a very special event:
It's lil' Mikey Cera's birthday today (unless you're reading this at a later date)!! Send The Kid well-wishes/nude photos to show him that you care (airbrushed only in the case of the pictures).
In my last blog I asked whether or not you guys would be interested in knowing what kinda stuff we were into, and the response was mildly positive, so here we go:
Music
Right now I'm listening to some real British gentlemen: The Fratellis, Jarvis Cocker, David Bowie Live at the Beeb, etc... I guess I'm trying to get in touch with my roots.
Aaaaand I know Mike mentioned this too, but thanks to everybody over at the C&M Facebook group, you kids are the best in the biz. If possible, I would eat a meal with all of you, and I would order all kinds of desserts and fancy tropical drinks to celebrate our meal together. I would not act like I was in a hurry or had to be somewhere else afterwards, even if I did. We would enjoy a delicious post-meal cigarette together outside while waiting for the valet to bring our respective cars around, and you would tell me all about your problems with your boss/boyfriend/girlfriend/relatives and I would nod in understanding, a surrogate father figure that you're looking for in your life. You would go home feeling warm and full of delicious tropical drinks.

6.04.07 Shhh-h-H-h-h, I have things to say Hi guys. It's Friday, and I decided to write a Friday-blog. (Frog?) You may be aware of this already, but if you are not aware of this and are a fan of "Clark and Michael" and have a Facebook account, there is a group on Facebook that's been made specifically for Clark And Michael. The group was generously and benevolently created by a lady named Sara Armstrong, an angel with wings and feathers. Like a bird but fancier. Thank you Sara! And if you aren't Sara, join the group! We've been waiting for you. It's a fun thing to be a part of!
To reiterate what Clark said, I can't tell you how nice it is to hear you guys say the episodes are too short. There was a time where I feared we would be forced to make them about half as long as they ended up being. So thank you, you've restored all of our faith in the lovely people of the internet. I knew you guys could handle a ten-minute episodic. Also, I believe episode 2 was our shortest episode. The rest I'd say are a little closer to 10 minutes, that being the approximate mark we tried to hit while editing these.
As for what makes Clark and Michael tick? Clark and Michael are two very different boys with two very different digestive systems. Clark loves frames, while I love parasurfing. Clark has hobbies, while I am a Gemini. Clark has a MicroKorg, while I love people of all races. Clark dances, I cry (however, the two never happen concurrently.)
I'll finish by saying, if you guys like the song at the end of the show you should purchase a boatload of "British Sea Power" albums. The song at the end of the show is called "Blackout" by them, they're a great English band.
I miss you all every time you leave the website. Please stick around more? And bring some of your friends next time, we made extra episodes just for them. There's enough for everyone!
Humorlessly,
- Mike
5.31.07 Hello! How ARE you?
I would rate the first week and a day as a resounding success. And I firmly say that on behalf of Michael and myself. If you don't believe me, feel free to call him at ***-***-**** (number removed for legal reasons -CBS) and ask him yourself!
People have complained that they think episode 2 is too short, which pleases me to no end. You have no idea how many people said to us, "Make 'em shorter! The kids on The Internet will never watch anything over a couple minutes long!" So thank you, Internetfriends.
I wondered if maybe you guys would like to know what Mike and I are into? What makes us tick? What music we're currently listening to? Or maybe not? Maybe that's egomaniacal?
xoxo
Clark
5.29.07 Let's get this party started!
I hope you guys are enjoying the show thus far. Sorry for the technical difficulties and such last week. Everything seems to be up and running now as far as I know. So every Wednesday, a new episode is going to be put up. Which means Episode 2 is a mere 1 day away! And it's loaded with laughs and laughters. Clark and I recently watched it and enjoyed it immensely. We both agree it's the only show on the internet to date that heavily features the two of us.
What will happen to us? Are we going to pick up the pieces? Will we meet our wives? Will we learn any life lessons? Will our friendship corrode? Are things going to get better? So many questions, so many cliffhangers, so many ferociously hard-hitting twists and shocks. If you thought Episode 1 was scary, wait until you see Episode 2. You will literally be sitting, staring at your computer monitor, screaming.
Please tell your friends about the show. Our friends worked very hard on it for very very little pay, and a t-shirt that says "Clark and Michael, Crew 06-07. They brushed my teeth with their dicks."
Also, the episodes may or may not be posted soon without bleeps. So keep your ears peeled for some filthy, disgusting language.
Love,
Uncle Mike
5.24.07 Hey gang! Thanks for coming to the site. In the next few days, Clark and I will start putting blogs up. If you would do us the service of telling all your friends and loved ones - the ones that you hold in the highest of esteems - to come check out the show, I reckon it would help a lot. Let's make this relationship work.
- Mike
