The Friendly Show
S1, E1 - The Tamale Lady
Sara Friendly: Greetings everyone, welcome to the very first episode of The Friendly Show. I am Sara Friendly and this is my co-host — and life partner — Peter Friendly…
Peter Friendly: We are here to bring you a whole new kind of talk show.
Sara Friendly: When our production company, Friendly Productions, asked us what we wanted we told them that we wanted your basic standard talk show set. We wanted a desk for our host (or hosts) to sit behind and a nice comfortable chair or couch for our guests to sit in. We wanted intimacy, we wanted a casual laid-back atmosphere, we wanted the feeling of two (or three) people sitting back and sharing what their world is all about.
Peter Friendly: Yes, the talk show furniture is really nice. I wish you could see it. It turned out that the furniture fully depleted the entire budget for the show so we were unable to buy cameras. So… this will be a talk show without cameras. No sound, either. Just words.
Sara Friendly: I think this could be ground-breaking, Peter. Sure, no one gets to see the exotic headdresses I like to wear, but the important thing about a talk show is the words, right? We are a written talk show. Personally, I think it’s a bold, exciting new concept.
