Jerrod was wondering if that would never happen, like his dreams of being a fighter pilot and president.

1:18:18 - Jerrod is working on an experimental, guerrilla street theater piece that will happen on train platforms.
1:21:26 - See "Mike Tyson Mysteries" on Adult Swim. Read the Grantland article sorta making fun of it.
