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 let's eyes yet there's a spooky surprise

And though you 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 am Andrew Reich, the creator and host of Dead Pilot Society. Before we get into it, just my monthly reminder that you should check out the documentary I produced and directed.

It's called Born Innocent, the Red Cross story, and you do not need to know a thing about

the band Red Cross to enjoy it.

You can check it out at red crossfilm.com slash rent.

That's Red Cross with two Ds and K. Oh man, do we have a fun dead pilot for you this

month. It is How to Get Over Brian Byers by Alana Peña and Anne Sundell. Anne is a writer and

comedian and Alana is the creator of Diary of a Future President on Disney Plus. Here's the logline

from the deadline announcement when they sold the show.

In How to Get Over Brian Byers, two enemies turned best friends, Anna and Izzy,

banned together to get over their shared ex-boyfriend.

Together, they tackle their 20s, helping each other navigate work, dating, and moving on.

Eventually, they'll learn that the only way

to truly get over someone is to fall in love with yourself. It's a friendship show. It's a hangout show.

It's just, it's got a high concept, but it's kind of low concept. It's just really fun. We recorded it

live at the Elysian Theater. Everyone there had an absolute blast. I announced the cast live, so wait for that. I'm not going to do that here. As always, we have video of the read, which you can get access to by becoming a member of Maximum Fun. For as little as $5 a month, just go to maximum fun.org slash join. And now enjoy How to Get Over Brian Byers by Alana Peña and Anne Sondell after a brief message.
