And I noticed that, like looking at 367 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: your work and looking at your site and just all 368 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: the different things you're in. Most recently, you were in 369 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: Sketch Comedy World and you were promoting your sketch show 370 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: that you wrote, Comedy Errors.

I loved late night, and that's what 376 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 3: I was going to do do. 377 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: I was convinced like I was just gonna finish my internship. 378 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 3: I was going to get a job and that was going. 379 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 2: To be it. And then the writer's strike happened in 380 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: to know the mats, everyone was put on hold, and 381 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 2: my dream of staying in New York City were cut 382 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: short because I. 383 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 3: Didn't have a job. I didn't have anywhere to stay. 384 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 2: After the internship, and I went back to Nebraska where 385 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: I was a college student, and I lived with my 386 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: parents and I worked some local news and I ended 387 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: up getting a job in marketing, and. 388 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: That wasn't the dream. That wasn't where I thought I 389 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 3: would be, but it opened up some other doors for me. 390 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 2: Because I was in Nebraska, it's not a huge entertainment 391 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 2: television city. 392 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 3: So I would. 393 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: Mostly get jobs of shows or productions that were traveling through, 394 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 2: so a couple like reality TV shows like American Idol 395 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: things like that, and then a lot of sports.

So 673 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: everything you're seeing is her trip through the grocery store. 674 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 1: She does not talk. The only sounds you hear or 675 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: the normal sounds you hear at a grocery store. So 676 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: there's the hustle and bustle, there's the carts rolling, there's 677 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: the music playing. You might hear employees, you know, asking 678 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: people if they need help or whatever. And she's going 679 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 1: about the store shopping. She's in produce, she's checking the melons, 680 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: and she's grabbing what she wants. She's getting lettuce, she's 681 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: getting apples. Heads back to the bakery, maybe get some buns. 682 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: Throws it in the cart. She's having a great time. 683 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: She's going to the meat department. She's getting a couple 684 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: pounds of ground beef from the meat counter. The meat 685 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: employees fantastic smile, says thank you, hands it back to 686 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: the customer, and she keeps rolling through, goes to the dairy, 687 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: gets some eggs, checks the eggs right. She gets the eggs, 688 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: heads up to the front, checks out, no issues, bags 689 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: it up, puts it in the cart, goes out to 690 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: her car. Then we see her in the car. She's 691 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: listening to music, seems to still be having a nice 692 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: little day. Heads pulls into her driveway, pulls into the garage, 693 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: opens the trunk, gets her groceries. Husband comes out, grabs 694 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: the groceries too. They go inside. As they're unloading, he goes, 695 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: how is your trip at the store, and she just 696 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 1: unloads on him on how terrible everybody at the grocery 697 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: store is and how awful of a job they do there, 698 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: and how they had nothing that she needed. Oh. 699 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 3: Interesting, that reminds me of. 700 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 2: Did you watch thirty rock here and there? Yeah, okay, 701 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 2: there's an episode because you know I'm ther fave hand. 702 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 3: Yeah. 703 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 2: She she remembers high school as like everyone was so 704 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 2: mean to her and she was like the misfit. And 705 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 2: then she goes back to the reunion and then wed 706 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 2: the audience see and realize that she was actually the 707 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 2: bully and the one that everyone didn't like her. 708 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: That's awesome, I love it. Yeah, funny. See, she the 709 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: customer had a normal experience. But in today's world, you 710 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: never know what somebody's thinking, and the complaints come rolling through, 711 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: and a lot of times those complaints come through social 712 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: media anymore, you know, and you don't even know there 713 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: was an issue.

Oh, yes, how we thought go down, 718 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 2: and then how she thinks that it's going down. 719 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: Yep, yep. We we think she grabbed all the produce 720 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: that she needs and it's just fine. But when you 721 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: go to her perspective, you know there's there's a multi 722 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: apple or yeah, that's that's a great idea.

I'm just now realizing that stick to promoting 746 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: the live shows, Jeremy, because promoting at the platforms that 747 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: they are listening to the show on is dumb.
