Episode notes

It’s Max Fun Drive! The one time of year where we ask you to become members or upgrade your membership to help make our show possible. For this year’s Max Fun Drive we’re bringing you something super special. A full on Dead Pilots Society Series. Well, the first three episodes of one at least.

Today we’re releasing the third and final episode of Wheelan Motors written and created by Brooks Wheelan (I Think You Should Leave, SNL) & Isaac Rentz (Opening Night). The title of this one is “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and it’s about Brook’s brother Michael who after missing a Bret Michaels concert because his family forgot him in a trunk, quits Wheelan Motors and is poached by a rival dealership. His absence throws the family’s delicate ecosystem off and the Wheelans crumble. It’s the series finale of our little dead pilots society series and it’s the funniest for sure!

The cast for this one was next level! Wheelan Motors stars Brooks Wheelan, Jessica Lowe as Jenny Valvino, Paul Scheer as Todd, Will Sasso as Jim Wheelan, Kerri Kenney Silver as Chris Wheelan, Bobby Moynihan as Michael, Mike O’Brien as Freddie Admunson, Gary Anthony Williams as Doug T, Ryan Asher as Layton, Nick Rutherford as Ries, Joe Mande as Lincoln, Katrina Davis as Stacy T, and Joey Lyons with stage directions.

This year our bonus content includes our library of video from our table reads. You can get them for as little as $5 by going to https://maximumfun.org/join
