Smash Notes

Back to #2570 - Mystery Boys, with Kurt Metzger & Duncan Trussell.

What Was the Experts First Called?

The Experts was first called The Cutout. Joe Rogan says Duncan Trussell has been working nonstop on it, and Duncan Trussell says the show is doing pretty good. The Experts is on YouTube right now. Asked whether it stays there, Duncan Trussell says he does not know. He does not own The Experts. Emergent Order owns it, and he was just trying to get money for it.

Emergent Order is the company down here. Duncan Trussell says they make Dad Save the World and calls the outlet a libertarian kind of Daily Wire. They paid for The Experts and funded the show. He says one lady there has a good sense of humor. Joe Rogan says the backer is some rich person. Duncan Trussell says the show came out pretty funny and he is pretty happy with it.

The Experts is about a team. Emergent Order wanted a pitch about Christina Dent, a real foster mom in Mississippi. She found out the drug war sucks and gives TED talks about trying to legalize drugs. Duncan Trussell is with her. He calls the argument remedial, says people should obviously do that, and then points to Mississippi.
