Honey: That's an easy one. We've both been effectively 'blacklisted' from conventional jobs thanks to being caught up in an international scandal.
Ulric: My department didn't take kindly to the fact that I'm a truthseeker! *The wolf crosses his arms, scoffing.*
Honey: For those who were living under a rock, Ulric and I were responsible for revealing to the world via live stream that Moira Blackwool and Erik Duclaw had the first recorded sheep and wolf hybrid pup...er...lamb...child in history...
Ulric: *Holds up a finger in a corrective fashion.* As far as we know!
Honey: Naturally, that alone was enough to cause an international incident between Norwulff and Scottram. Plus the fact that we essentially broke into the sacred crypt of the Duclaw pack by exploiting Ulric's blood relation to the royal family, and essentially desecrated a tomb by blowing open a sealed slab of stone and opening a sarcophagus that hadn't been opened in four hundred plus years that was strictly off limits to pretty much everyone...well, it didn't exactly help our appeal.
Ulric: And Honey got banned from streaming her gaming channel for six months because when we were celebrating she forced herself on me...*Ulric shakes his head dismissively.*
Honey: *Frowns* Don't say it like that! *Crosses her arms and pouts, averting her gaze from her mate* I only jumped into your arms and kissed you...once we were on the floor you were kissing back just as hard!
Ulric: *Rolls eyes* So, aside from getting the entire Hunter family banned from entering both Norwulff and Scottram, something my *Cringes slightly as he utter's Dawn's title.* 'Sister-in-law' and Father had to negotiate with the Norwulff royals to get lifted for everyone. Well, everyone excluding me and Honey-
Honey: It was pretty much the only thing the Norwulff government wouldn't budge on. Every offer in the negotiations included keeping the lifetime ban in place for me and Ully.
*Ulric clears his throat in irritation, clearly less than pleased at being cut off.*
Ulric: BeCaaause....*He flashes Honey a brief glare* Because we were seen as responsible for causing the international incident with Norwulff and Scottram, most civilian jobs, especially ones tied to any sort of authority or government, we essentially got black-balled from polite commerce. So...my forensics degree is now useless outside of the skills I've picked up because no one in need of a forensic scientist is going to want to hire one with this black mark on his record.
Honey: Aside from my six-month ban for 'performing sex acts on a PG-13 stream', it was a bit touch and go as to whether pressure from Scottram or Norwulff officials would be enough to see me banned outright...*Laughs* I tell you, if it had been Great Kitten, or Zootopia proper, I'd be gone too. Thankfully Scottram and Norwulff's governments, while powerful, aren't as powerful as Zootopia, the NMU, or Great Kitten. So for now, HoneyOnTheMoney Gaming endures, which is good as it's the only source of income we have right now.
Ulric: Well, my own stream did see a fairly substantial increase in subscribers after our discovery.
Honey: Your 'own stream' has been demonetized since even before the Hybrid thing! Ever since you went on that very, VERY speciest rant about sheep after the first Night Howler incident!
Ulric: And I refuse to apologize! *Ulric crosses his arms defiantly, ears splaying against his head as he closes his eyes.* The historical track record of sheep as a species shows they've chosen to undermine all other species whenever the opportunity arose! *Shakes head* Although they're not nearly as bad as all those filthy rode-.(REDACTED)
'In the interest of keeping our own podcast from being banned from the network, the rest of my brother-in-law's seven and a half-minute rant about the hygiene and breeding habits surrounding rodentfolk has been cut from this broadcast. Thank you for continuing to listen to our podcast "Ask The Bellhunters", Where we will continue to take your questions and answer them to the best of our abilities.'
