Cast
The mark: Up-and-coming sports broadcaster Jordan McKamey, on his very first day at work!
The on-site conspirators: Then-voice of the Kemmerer Rangers, Jake Hibbard, voice of the Rich Rebels Ryan Steineckert and yours truly. The phone-only conspirator: character actor Ben Taylor as bentonite cat litter plant manager Merv Jenkins. |
Premise
McKamey believes he must drive the 572 miles (one way!) from extreme southwestern Wyoming (our Evanston studios) to tiny Colony, WY, a nearly-forgotten hamlet tucked away in the Cowboy State's extreme northeastern recesses.
Why? We've sold the newbie a bizarre bill of goods! McKamey is convinced that the Old West Media sales staff has brokered a deal with the Colony bentonite cat litter plant to sponsor a statewide poker tournament at the Wind River Casino in Riverton. The plant gets three 30-second online video ads, and McKamey is tasked with filming them. We join the action with McKamey already on the phone with plant manager Merv Jenkins. And just a few seconds in, I convince McKamey to place Merv on speakerphone so that "I can help him out". More disingenuous words I have not spoken... |
