Welcome to Storyworthy.

My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Honestfini and this is exciting folks

we're coming from a brand new location

side show networks brand new

podcast studio inside

a very famous comedy venue in Los Angeles

I can't tell you where it is but it's not a store

and it's not a factory

it's a place where people make things up it's the improv on Melrose ladies and gentlemen I think we can say we're at the improv and it's not a factory. It's a place where people make things up.

It's the improv on Melrose, ladies and gentlemen. I think we can say we're at the improv, and it is exciting. There's actually three rooms now at the improv. There's the main stage. And then there's something called the lab, which holds like 60 people. And then upstairs here, this area has been remodeled. It used to be the green room. and now it's a podcasting studio, but I'll tell you ladies and gentlemen.

They've cleaned all the cocaine from the 80s and 90s out of the cracks on the floor. What it looks like is the library in the board game clue. It does. It's very, there's a red velvet. There are big plush leather chairs. There's a lot of books. I i like it it makes me just want to like just sit

down and read yeah i guess that's what i mean i mean usually when you think of a studio you think of

like maybe chrome and glass and like slick but no sign show they take it a whole other direction

and they say well you know it's let's play clue the game about murder i like that that's the reference, not Sherlock Holmes or Jane Austen or Victoria in England. You go right to Clue. I wouldn't know those references. You don't watch enough PBS. Anyway, we're really excited to have John Willen here. He has a brand new documentary out right now. It's called Stink. Yeah, you told me it was great. It came out, I believe, December 5th. But it's getting a lot of play and it's got unlocked. But nowadays, things come out and it's called stink yeah you told me it was great it came out i believe december 5th but it's getting a lot of play and it's got unlocked but nowadays things come

out and it's like it's when they drop as the kids say and it's like it's it's it's not the

opening weekend for things it's like once it's out there you're getting it all through all the

various media outlets right because people can actually watch something now at any time.

There's really nothing topical anymore. I mean, it is. You know what's topical, Hanna, sports? Sports is very topical. Sports is all this topical. You can't get rid. You can't get away from that. And I just like to say, God bless the Green Bay Packers. That's all I'm saying. That's just something. It's an evergreen statement.
