Episode One:
Hi, this is
pastorob, your host today on the premiere episode of
an exciting new Reality Show. "The Making of Elijah"
follows the life and thought of noted composer/playwright,
Jebby
(as he is nearing completion of his latest work).
Always willing to involve others
in the overflow of his creative cup,
Jebby
has agreed to interact with today's audience as he puts the finishing
touches on his latest musical drama. Since it has yet to be published
(or performed publicly),
your active participation with this
pre-production documentary
could result
in some
surprising opportunities for all involved.
Just now our studio door was
knocked upon by a couple seeking refreshment.
Leticia
(20) appears to
be about
7.5 months into a pregnancy. Her companion,
Randy
(25)
has identified himself as her fiance. They are homeless; today
they are walking around the small town of Galt trying to find
places to rent. We have invited them to come in from out of the
cold and be
our first live guests
on today's pilot program.
So roll 'em...
Rob
Well, it's good to have you here today. I'm
interested in Jebby's whole life. So it blesses me
to serve as The Empowerer who helps teach this
artist how to more effectively use one of this
millennium's greatest tools: the Internet.
Jebby is a prolific
writer who enjoys a wide variety of eclectic pursuits,
and is, perhaps, one of the friendliest guys you
will ever meet.
Jebby
Wow...that's alot to live up to ...ha..haa...
a
tremendous burden to bear.
Mellisa (today's
co-host)
heh...heh...heh...ha...ha...heh...
Rob
So, you guys have all day, right?
Leticia
Yep.
Randy
(looking at Leticia)
Remember your doctor's
appointment
between 12 and 1:15?
Leticia
Yeah....but we're alright.
Rob
Great. This won't take long and will be
relatively painless. I suppose if I were to ask you
how much you know about the Bible Character, Elijah,
you might say, "Not much." Am I right?
Leticia
You're right. But...if I called my Grandma, she would
know.
Rob
Well, on future episodes, we may do some
phone-calling but Jebby is on a tight schedule
today.
Randy
Elijah...Isn't he the one that was in the desert and saw a
stairway with angels?
Rob
That's a great guess, Randy, but no....that was
Jacob.
Jebby
Well...that story is nearby in the Old
Testament. Good one, Randy!
(spoken in the
friendliest of tones)
Mellisa
heh...heh...heh...ha...ha...hehh
Rob
Guys....is it alright if I call you guys?
Leticia
Yeah....I've been called worse?
Randy
How about 'cats?' ...like...."Wasn't Elijah that 'cat'
out in the desert who saw a stairway with angels?"
Mellisa
heh...heh...heh...ha...ha...hehh
Jebby
The storyline of this musical takes place in a town
called Hopeless, Nebraska.
(shifting into a Johnny Cash voice)
A traveling preacher listens to the sad story of
their town told by disillusioned townspeople.
He
then tells them that the story of their hopeless
town reminds him of a
true story in the Bible. He then tells the whole
story of King Ahab, his wicked wife, Jezebel, and
the prophet, Elijah.
(Jebby picks up his
guitar and plays
the opening song for Randy and Letecia).
Rob
Thanks for that song, Jebby.
Jebby
Oh.......you're welcome
(sounding much like
Floyd the Barber and with a loose upturned wave of
the hand).
Mellisa
heh...heh...heh...ha...ha...heh...
Rob
Did you bring a
recording upon which our broadcast audience might
CLICK
and experience?
Jebby
Oh...I'm sorry..... But...uhh...I do have a
previously unreleased audio track, if your CLICKERS
would
promise not to burn an illegal copy.
Rob
yeah...right. They wouldn't do something like
that...unleashing the power of the right click: Copy and
Paste.
heh....heh...heh....
heh...heh...heh...
Of course, buddy,
we all know that you actually pay the government to Copyright
EVERYTHING...even all those napkins...
(Jebby interrupts to
finish the sentence)
"...all those napkins with late night,
stream-of-consciousness ramblings."

Rob
Jebby, you never cease to amaze me'...not that
that's an original compliment....heh...heh...
I hear that all the
time!
Mellisa
Yes, that sounded great!
(she adds with a
chuckle)
Rob
Hey, do you guys believe in
the Lord?
Randy
Yes, I do. He comes with
me everywhere.
Leticia
Yeah, I used to go with my mom, Sarah Becker, to the
Family Life Church over on the eastside in a school with
Pastor Rick and Pastor Frank.
Rob
Hmmm....really?
Leticia
Pastor Frank spoke at my Grandpa's funeral and his wife, Pam, sang.
Rob
Yeah, I know all them.
I'm
going to Africa with Pastor Frank and Pastor Rick.
So, when I get back in February, I'll go FULL SPEED
AHEAD promoting more of
the Making of Elijah. Hang
around, listen to Jebby's song again...and come back
for your opportunity to visit the Epicenter
and meet Jebby personally.
