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 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.

We have a date for our next live show.

It's going to be July 12th Sunday at the Elysian Theater.

We'll announce officially soon. We'll get a ticket link up, save that date. We're not ready to officially announce, but I believe these are going to be two of the absolute funniest scripts we've

ever done. So save that date, July 12th, 3 o'clock, I believe. This is the after show for

Valley Heat, featuring my interview with Christian Dugay. You've all heard me raving enough about

Valley Heat at this point. Christian, someone I really admire and who I've gotten to know over the last

year. I like him a lot. It's so much fun to talk to him. It's an unusual

interview for this show because his career path isn't that of a typical, you know, sitcom writer,

TV pilot writer. He hasn't been on writing staffs or anything like that. He went to school for

music, got into comedy, groundlings, worked in reality TV for many years.

You'll hear all about the winding journey that led him to create one of the greatest podcasts of all time.

And for those of you who are fans, it's really fun to hear about how he started doing it, including some false starts, how he puts the episodes together.

It's why I saw him out originally.

I was just so curious about how he makes Valley Heat.
