You know the thing and no one picked up your thing

And so you buried the thing

That's not the 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 The Dead Pilot Society.

Welcome to Dead Pilot Society, the show that takes comedy pilots 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. First of all, thank you so much to everyone who joined or upgraded or boosted during Max Fund Drive.

We had more listeners doing one of those three things this year than we did last year, which is amazing.

We so appreciate all of our listeners, but let's face it, especially the ones who contribute.

So thank you.

Thank you.

We're going to keep doing our thing.

It's because of you.

And our thing this month is bringing you frenemies, the journey of Lewis and Clark by

Nate Rieger and Mike Lisbee.

Nate and Mike are old friends of mine.

I've known them since they were writer's assistants on Spin City.

They've written on a ton of shows, including Just Shoot Me, Cougar Town, two broke girls and the cool kids.

And it is about time that I had them on the show.

Their dead pilot is, as you might have guessed, a comedic take on Mary Weather Lewis and William Clark's epic journey of discovery in the American West.

You know, I've been noticing a lot of talk these days in the development world, the comedy development world, about hard funny.
