Hey!

A friend of mine referred me to your website, when they saw that I was
indirectly mentioned in one of your posts.

six months.

Although I don’t have a problem with Ryan Holiday, or anyone else at Rudius
besides Tucker Max, I do like to help spread the message about Rudius so that
potential writers at least know what they’re getting themselves into when they
sign on.

I'm just a proxy. She really hates Tucker Max.". In this entry she mentions him for seemingly no reason, and not only that, she writes: "Oh, canceled before it even made it to production? Shocking. How do you suppose you’re going to spin that into a positive, Mr. PR genius?" This would make a lot more sense had Tucker been ruthlessly promoting a show that wasn't even in production yet, assuming that anything he wrote would obviously make it to television, but he himself said on his own blog: "A few things to note: -Most importantly--and I cannot emphasize this enough to those not in the entertainment business--this does NOT mean I am automatically going to have a TV show. Comedy Central bought a pilot from me. Now I have to write it. If (and it is NOT certain) they like it, then they will decide to shoot it. Once it is shot, they will watch it and decide if they want to order a season. So as of right now, there are still two MAJOR steps left before this becomes a show that is on the air (if it even happens at all). Yeah, I am really excited to have this deal, but the show is not on the air until it is on the air."
