Episode notes
HAPPY MAX FUN DRIVE!! This month’s episode was recorded live at SF Sketchfest 2019! It’s Andrew’s all-time favorite of his own dead pilots. Inspired by his own mother, “Pearl” tells the story of a woman who receives a diagnosis of terminal cancer, and decides to use the time she has remaining to orchestrate the lives of her loved ones to her liking. Before the read, you’ll hear Ben’s interview with Andrew where he discusses the process of developing this very personal story into a network sitcom. Enjoy!
