b'We try. We really do. But sometimes, in our efforts to make sure we\'ve got a large enough queue of episodes to keep you edutained and entercated, we get things out of order. Badly.
\\n
\\nOur last two episodes (49 and 50) made reference to this one, which was recorded before they were, and many of you were confused. We were even confused! But enough about the behind-the-scenes recording process. On with the episode!
\\n
\\nMary pitches us three story sketches, and we pick one to brainstorm. This, by the way, is also how Mary works with her agent. After the pitches, we select the one that doesn\'t have much of a story yet.
\\n
\\nAnd then it\'s a brainstorming session. If you\'ve ever wondered where we (or anybody else) gets their ideas, and more importantly, how they refine them, this is a must-listen.\\n\\nOur Sponsors:\\n* Check out Factor 75 and use our code wx50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/ \\n\\nSupport this podcast at \\u2014 https://redcircle.com/writing-excuses2130/exclusive-content\\n\\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands'
