The Studio: Episode 6: The Calendar

Calendar Trouble and Joy’s Instructions

Hey Jeff, when are we filming the next Academy?

What's that?

When are we filming the next Academy?

Oh, um, uh, oh hang on let me get the calendar, it should be on here. So Joy is out of the studio today, we're free of Joy, and she put me in charge of the calendar, which of course she felt the need to explain to me for 30 whole minutes how to use, how to proceed, what to do.

Different procedures and stuff, for different organizational things. And then, no, it's not blue though, it's the teal that's for that.

It's a calendar Joy, I'm 38 years old, I'm a grown man, I've created children, I have five black belts, I can hurt people in spectacular ways, and I know how to use a calendar, it's not difficult, it's very straightforward.

You look at the calendar, it tells you all the stupid things you have to do, on what stupid days. Joy, it's just a calendar, relax.

Yeah, so what I'm saying is if we have the Academy on that day, I'm not going to go home for 14 days.

I'm just trying to figure out what are the blue and purple and yellow, I don't even know what.

Donuts, Hardness Tests, and the Mystery of the Letter P

Hey guys, I got a whole bunch of stuff in my truck, can you give me a hand while I carry.

It in? Yeah. Cool, thanks.

How much, uh...

Oh, I got a ton of stuff. Dude, how old are those donuts?

Well, that's just the thing, I don't know if it's hours, days, weeks...

If they're days, I will definitely eat them still.

Well, yeah, I mean, that's the thing, I don't think there's like a foodborne illness for a Boston cream.

Heck no, you just gotta pass the hardness test as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I mean, like, at least if you get sick, you go down in glory. Who first called it that?

It definitely does not look like a P.

No.

So, where's it come from?

Maybe somebody's name.

HelloImTim.com and the Missing Calendar

Hello, I'm Tim.

Sir Anthony P. Esquire.

Absolutely.

What's up, man?

Yeah, we know who you are.

Hey, uh, I'm here to record my promotional video for HelloImTim .com, hilarious brand.

Strategy.

Right. Right.

We'll set everything up for you right now.

No, I...

Are you guys not ready?

Wait, no, you're serious?

Yeah.

Today?

Let me set that up. Yeah, it's on my phone.

We don't have time for that.

Yeah.

Did you set this up?

Nope.

I talked to, uh, Joy, and she put it in her calendar.

You're totally serious.

She's not here today.

Yeah. Yeah, she had this giant calendar.

I'm so sorry, man. I'm sorry. Let me... I got the calendar thingy she gave me.

I'm...

I'm sorry, man.

We'll figure out a way to get you in today.

Okay, thanks, man. I appreciate that.

What is this for again?

Uh, for HelloImTim .com, web brand strategy.

Hello I'm Tim, web designer.

Marcus.

Yeah.

Where's the, uh, the calendar we had earlier?

You had it.

No, no, you were sitting up inside there filming.

You were showing it to me.

We lost the calendar. Joy's gonna be so mad.

Hey, if you lost Joy's calendar, that's...

Man, I hope we can put it in her...

Don't say that, man.

Don't do that, no.

No one knows what the calendar is. Where's the calendar? I don't know the calendar. Where'd you put the calendar?

Awesome. You're done.

Do you know who the calendar is?

Man, don't do this to me.

Joy will freak out.

No.

I've touched it.

Can you at least help me look for it?

Absolutely.

Luke, is it back there?

Nope.

I don't know how to get down. There's nothing up here.

Replacing the Calendar with Animal Pictures

Hey guys, I got it. I got it. We make a new calendar. We make a new calendar. Yes, we make a new calendar. We make a new calendar. Okay, so this is the calendar. We got the colorful things that she always puts on.

You got teal, okay.

That's in there.

That definitely is 2017.

It doesn't matter.

Look, we'll...

Just scratch it out.

Just scratch it out with Sharpie.

She won't notice.

We could do that.

You could put... A puppy.

That's what I'm saying. If we put pictures of animals on here, it'll totally throw her off. This is January. Does anybody have any idea what is going on around here? Who's got better handwriting? You try to write like Joy.

That's not going to... She's not going to buy that. This is going to work. This is going to work. Like put a sloth on a Monday, a koala on a Tuesday, a baby elephant on a Saturday. If she's... I mean, it's going to be none the wiser.

It's good.

I like it.

Yeah?

I think she's going to buy it. It should pass.

Yeah, I think we're good. Totally.

Yeah?

Yep.

Good? Yep. Good.

Totally nailed it. She'll come in tomorrow, and it's going to be fine. It's going to be totally fine. So I don't really know what to do. I mean, I'm kind of at my wits' end. I think we should, like, take all the mess and just put it in his car.

I mean, I think that that's a good strategy, just put it into his car so every day he has to go home to...

You probably won't even notice.

...the mess in his car.

Eventually he's going to have to climb out of the mess, take it out of the car.

That's what I'm saying. I think that will probably do the trick.

I hope so.

Joy Returns and the Calendar Scheme Works

Check this out.

Look.

Oh, my gosh. That's amazing.

Hey, Joy.

Hey, Joy. Hey, guys. What's up? Hey. Hey.

It's good to see you.

Shoot.

Hey, Joy.

Hey, Joy.

Hey, guys.

I think she bought it.

Oh, my gosh.

Okay.

It's not even close, but they worked really, really hard on it, and I'm not going to say anything. I figure they just need to win this one.
