1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: It is time for your phone tap. And a little

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: while ago we did a second date update in a

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: British accent. Oh, easily, Brooke was the best one in

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: the room by far.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 2: Show us your accent.

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: Why, thank you, Jeffrey, Oh, Jeffrey chap wow, wow, I

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: don't know.

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: I didn't warm up hard to beat that. I feel

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: like I'm in London.

10
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if I go watch Bridgerton first,

11
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: it would.

12
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 2: Have been better.

13
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: Well, today I'm going to try to match brooks blokyism

14
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: and say that I'm from the BBC calling a woman

15
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: about a show idea that she pitched to the network

16
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: and somehow it ended up on my desk.

17
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: Well that sounds delightful, Jeffrey.

18
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: It's all because of her friend who set her up.

19
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: But you'll hear it your phone tap right now, Jeffrey's.

20
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: Phone taps on the twenties. Hello.

21
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: Hello, is this Alona?

22
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,440

28
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Well?

29
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 4: The reason for my call I saw a pitch for

30
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 4: a brilliant show come across my desk today and I

31
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 4: was like, whoa wait a tick, this is new, this

32
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 4: is innovative, and word got around. You were the creative

33
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 4: genius who hatched this idea.

34
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: Wow are you talking about time?

35
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a crime drama.

36
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 5: Yes, oh oh my gosh, wow, thank you, thank you

37
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 5: so much.

38
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 4: Of course, now that being said, if we were to

39
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: move forward, we would like to make just a few changes.

40
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: Make it a ted bit edgier.

41
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean you like.

42
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: You like gritty some gritty shows.

43
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I like gritty.

44
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 5: I was kind of hoping for this to be a

45
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 5: little bit more wholesome than gritty.

46
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: But listen, Alana, sweetheart, I'm a network executive. I work

47
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: with a lot of projects, so I think I know

48
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: what's best, and personally, I would like to make a

49
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 4: change and think it's better suited as a musical crime sitcom,

50
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 4: A musical crime titcom, right, a humor music you canned

51
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: laughter That.

52
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 5: Is definitely a lot different than what I had in mind.

53
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: A lot better, yeah.

54
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 5: Well, a definite tone shift.

55
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: Hum alon.

56
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: Just imagine detectives solving crimes but through song and dance. Yeah,

57
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: not quite entertaining.

58
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 5: Well that that may be entertaining, it's not quite really

59
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 5: even in the ballpark of what I've created.

60
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: Right, it's an improvement, and he is the kicker. I

61
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 4: want all the suspects to be talking animals.

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: Okay, isn't it? How was that even?

63
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: We'll just picture in your mind a lama put into handcuffs, okay,

64
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: put them in the back of a cop car. You know,

65
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 4: he's a tall animal, so of course the officers have

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 4: pushed his head down into the vehicle.

67
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: Okay.

68
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 5: Oh, look, obviously I would really love for the script

69
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 5: to be optioned and the opportunity to work with you

70
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 5: and the BBC. I just I'm not sure that I

71
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 5: am so able to make the shift with this story,

72
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 5: with this script.

73
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: What you're saying is you don't want the BBC to

74
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: purchase this turn it into a major show.

75
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 5: Please don't misunderstand. It's just that the framework of the

76
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 5: story doesn't quite lend itself there yet.

77
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: Well, the framework will work itself out. The concept is

78
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 4: what's most important here. Haven't you seen the Teenage Mutant

79
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: Ninja Turtles?

80
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've I've.

81
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 4: Seen the Ninja Turtle, you know, in that show there's

82
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: one bad guy. He's a rhino. His name's Bop. It

83
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: was quite popular, so now we're trying to make the

84
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: adult version of that.

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 5: I'm open to two ideas and workshopping and making changes,

86
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: but what you are.

87
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: Pitching is is your problem because of the title, because

88
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 4: I have some other working options that I was considering.

89
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: What do you think about Broadway in order? It's a

90
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: bit of a.

91
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: Play on words there, excuse me that or cluetoons.

92
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I just.

93
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 4: Whiskers of justice. I'm just coming up with these off

94
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 4: the top of my head. Yeah, spitballing, as you Yankees

95
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: would say.

96
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 5: I don't.

97
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: So what do you say? Should we finalize a deal?

98
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: Okay, look, I'm sorry, I just can you. I don't.

99
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: It's perfect. We'll give it a go, and we'll tell

100
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: your friend Adam that we.

101
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 3: Approve My friend Adam.

102
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: Like Adam.

103
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: He listens to a radio show called Brought Can Jeffrey

104
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: in the Morning, and he set you up for a

105
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: throne tap love.

106
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: It's all a joke.

107
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Well, I mean because I was trying so.

108
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 5: Hard to be polite, and I honestly thought this whole

109
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 5: thing was real.

110
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: Iron it's very real with low life animals being arrested

111
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: by singing human cops.

112
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: That's right, they're human coppers.

113
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 4: I forgot about human policemen arresting criminal animals.

114
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: Crime animals. Oh we have it, We have the new criminals.

115
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: You know what, Good luck with that. Yak in Jeffrey's

116
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 3: phone taps on the twenties
