People, Not Plot

Description

This episode was inspired by an interview with Shia LaBeouf in which he noted his favoritism toward people over plot in stories.  Stand-up comedy needs people and plot too, but I agree with Shia that it needs people more.  That’s where the juice is.  Write about people.
