You know the thing and no one picked up your thing

And so you buried the thing

That's not the big end of the thing

Don't you like jazz yet there's a spooky surprise

And the book cannot revise

And nothing ever really dies.

Welcome to Dead Pilot Society, the show that takes comedy pilots from A-list writers that were sold and developed at networks and streamers but never produced and gives them the table reads they never got a chance to have.

I'm Andrew Reich, the creator and host of Dead Pilot Society, and it is Max Fun Drive.

It's the time of year where we celebrate Max Fun members and remind you that this show exists because listeners like you support it.

And this is our Max Fun Drive table read episode.

And man, is it a good one?

I should say up front that this episode is definitely not safe for work and you might not want to

listen to this one with young children. Hopefully that wet your appetite. Our dead pilot this month

is Principal by Open Mike Eagle and Mike Benner. Many of you may know I Open Mike as a rapper,

as co-host of the Comedy Central show The New Negroes, as host of the podcasts, what had happened was,

and conversation parade. And you may know Mike Benner from his many seasons of writing for

Bob's Burgers and as writer of the comedy horror movie, Destroy All Neighbors. Principal is a pilot

that they sold to Comedy Central about a rapper who's trying to change his life and his image,

but keeps being pulled back into the gangster character that made him famous.

You know, this show should be on the list along with Atlanta and Dave of the great television

hip-hop comedies, but alas, it never made it to air, and it is only available here on Dead Pilot Society.

And Dead Pilot Society only exists because of listeners like you becoming members.
