    I just got Disney+, and started watching Only Murderers In The Building and The Bear.

    Both are fucking great.

    I still need to watch the last season of The Bear. Have you watched The Penguin? Exquisite.

    I worked with the young lead in that. We have a handful of sketches together.

    Would anyone like to watch my new pilot? I got financing on it so we shot a pilot on our own. I'll be pitching it to networks soon.

    Yes, if it gets picked up can I get an extra gig?

    I did a couple of episodes of Highway to Heaven when I lived in LA, lol.

    No, I live in Portland.

    My girlfriend at the time dropped out of UofO so she went home to Portland and started modeling, within a couple of months she got an offer of representation in LA. So I took a break from UofO and moved to LA with her. It was kinda cool, they sent us up with a sweet condo in Westwood, our neighbor was Issac, the bartender from the Love Boat. I don't think he lived there, it was just where he would bring the ladies too..., lol.

    So just handing around with the gf I did some random shit in LA. Catalog pics for some beachwear company, the extra thing, and then I auditioned and got voice work for Westwood One Radio Network, I was really excited, and then I showed up... it was for their kids network. FUCK! I was 20, almost 21. Did lead-ins and lead-outs. "You are listening to Kids Hour on the Westwood One Radio Network, brought to you by Butterfinger." It was money but not the cool Hollywood thing you could brag about, lol.

    Anyway, if your show gets picked up and you need an extra for an episode I would fly down and turn it into a vacation, lol.

    That sounds like a better time! The show is unscripted so I doubt we'll need any extras but I'll definitely keep you in mind. Maybe we can do a premier here for the pilot if enough people care to watch.

    Season 3 of The Bear was pretty obviously a filler season. Thought I read somewhere that the story was meant for 3 seasons but FX begged them to make it four so they stretched things out and not a ton happens in this season. Still good TV and enjoyable to watch, but not like the first two seasons, hoping they get back to the stress inducing stories in season four. Still haven't sat down on the Penguin but haven't heard a bad thing about it.

    UFC is officially entering the boxing game. Wonder if NETFLIX will be their home?

    I enjoyed the first 2 seasons of Reacher but I'm 2 episodes into season 3 and so far it's sucked.

    The Bear is a thief. Been stealing best comedy awards from Only Murders and the Beast is not a comedy. Only Murders just finally beat it out.
