Episode 196: New York Mythological by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas Podcast Episode · Dead Pilots Society · April 20 · 49m

Thanks to the Dead Pilots Society podcast for resurrecting a beloved pilot script I wrote with @carterlbays called "New York Mythological." We sadly never got to hear actors bring this thing to life...until now! (Plus a mini-HIMYM reunion with Kal Penn). Enjoy!
