It’s Monday
And I am avoiding doing some real work, so I thought I’d post two clips from old episodes of RIGHTEOUS TV, in case you haven’t seen them.
Also in case you did not know, Righteous TV was a show that Jory and I created with Ryan and Christi Perkins, who would later become Christi Little when she married me. It was high school, and we actually did it as a class, like, we got credit for it. For three years. My senior year I had three hours of “Righteous Television Class” a day.
Okay, Maybe it wasn’t three hours, but it is my senior year of college now and I have three hours of Legislative Behavior next semester and sitting in a closet with a computer editing sketches sounds pretty good doesn’t it? Hindsight is not 20/20, it is 20/Golden. Where you can see everything but it seems like it is covered in gold. That is what hindsight is. Anyway, here is one of my favorite sketches.
Josh joined the show in our third season as a full cast member, with his name in the credits and everything. It seemed like a big deal at the time.
I remember being terrified about the sound when we shot this, because it was very windy. So actually this sketch is a hybrid of the sound from the location and audio recorded after the fact, something that professionals have a word for. AVR? I think that is the word. The point is we disguised it really well in this episode. I got so used to dubbing in audio that I made a version of the Medorafloracontin 27b sketch with my voice substituted for Jory’s. It was creepy but seemed kind of egotistical, so I never did anything with it. Anyway, whenever I think about this sketch I think about Josh standing in the little alley behind the TV studio screaming in different ways.
And here’s another thing:
This was from later, when we all were in college and produced a few Latter-Day RTV episodes for fun. That dance has just always made me laugh. The jokes barely make sense now, that campaign was kind of forgettable. But still, I mean, I wrote a goddamned song.
Okay, so that is your monday viewing!
