Hey, this is John. The whole script notes team is on vacation this week. So we are revisiting an

episode Craig and I recorded with a lien back in 2019, wherein we talk about what to do with all your

half-formed ideas and how to decide which ones to pursue. We also touch on how to determine your

quote as a writer and how important it is to talk about money overall. In our bonus segment for

premium members, we will travel back to 2025, where Drew and I are going to debate whether or not

he should get rid of all his physical media. I have opinions, he has opinions, you have opinions,

you'll share your opinions, but there's a bunch of little shiny metal discs that we need to

decide what to do with, and we will discuss those in the bonus segment for our premium members. So whether this is the first time or the fifth time

you've heard this episode, it is a perfect beach read one, so relax and enjoy, and we'll be back

next week. Enjoy. Hello and welcome. My name is John August. My name is Craig Mason.

We'll also discuss screenwriters' quotes and answer some listener questions to help us out on all of this. Welcome back, Aline Brosh McKenna. Yeah.

They're sort of, they waved by their own magic.

Do you guys remember in that original Batman show that sometimes Catwoman would be on?

But you would watch in the credits to see if she was on that week?

I did.

I would watch the credits of stage.

They changed the credits. if she was on that week. I did. I know. I would not.
