    A hilarious observational comedy centered on a pair of facetious correspondents addressing the national pastime while pondering how human life spent its time on earth and the fumbling field reporter battling imposer syndrome. This smart workplace romp about happy-talk news and sports entertainment makes for a wild ride and is a key example of a writer on the verge with a singular voice and critical lens. Check this out.

    The national pastime you've given your life and loyalty to kind of makes you question the risks you've taken and accomplishments you've made. If we don't have any more time, how do we want to spend the time we've left? Powerful and well done.
