I just had that.
Yeah, we were very lucky to have one friend that had a house in the hills with a pool and would let us go up to it.
But we're not playing games in the pool.
Like, we're afraid of everything.
Yeah, we had saw like jocks doing chicken fights with girls on their shoulders and we're like, we like that.
Yeah, we would totally do that.
Just give us a shot.

No, this is G4ia.
paramount or like this video this video this might not be the meeting you were talking about because who knows what meetings we took at the time yeah but when we went to pitch awesome town and we went into fox that's somebody i'm sure he was mid-level i don't remember his name i feel like his last name was gold but i don't know
He was probably mid-level, but to us, it was like, whoa, someone higher level came in the meeting.
We were like, wow, he came in.
That's really cool.
Because we maybe knew he was the one with power to buy shows.
He was probably somewhere in the middle, but at a higher status than other people that would normally be with us.
And we kind of gave our spiel about what Awesome Town would be, which is a sketch show, and tried to say why we're different from other sketch shows.
Truly, it was probably the same pitch as the Ben Stiller show, if you went back and looked.
But we played just two guys in the room.
