And they took everyone's number one video and put it up against each other.

And the winner would get $100,000.

They shot this in a studio and everything.

We won.

Wow.

It never got picked up, but we still got paid.

And so from that, producers on that show introduced us to their agents.

That's how we got an agent.

And then we had a bunch of general meetings set up, and we were like, why don't we just go prepare now?

Because general meetings are such bullshit meetings.

And we just sat down one week before these general meetings and conceived of three ideas.

One of them was this show.

And we went with our cell phone cameras into Times Square and shot a few sample bits of it, cut it together, and brought that sizzle tape into the general meeting.

And we got offers that week from MTV and TruTV and sold that show in the room, which has, by the way, never happened before.

They said we'd like to buy this.

Yeah.

I mean, as a matter of fact, I've been in so many pitches where I feel like, oh, they love this.

Yeah, I think what benefited us was the tape that we went in with just happened to be so funny, and we were just lucky to have something to show that was undeniably funny.

It was a five-minute little video.

but She was like one of the people at true laughs so hard She had like a tears coming down everything she went and got a bunch of other people called them and then played it again Wow and then they all laughed and she was like right and they were like yeah, and then she was like I really like this I kind of want to offer you guys this right now We had met with MTV two days earlier, and they did the same But they didn't want to do our show exactly as we brought it to them.
