SASHA
Guys, I don’t think our next call with Santa Fe’s gonna go well. They want to go independent.
NICOLE
Can’t blame them. Aren’t the Primitives like the worst team in baseball now?
SASHA
Second-worst. At least they’re not injury-ridden though.
DEVIN INTERVIEW
Nicole and Sasha have been going at it a bit lately over the Primitives leaving Indianapolis for Santa Fe and proceeding to suck, and then everyone on the promising Indianapolis women’s basketball team proceeding to get injured. And best of all, they have to ask Kylie for help now that they’re all being forced to work together.
BLAKE
So…is Santa Fe done with? Sasha, there’s nothing we can do to convince them to stay? We can’t just wait around until Bridgeport starts performing.
AUSTIN
There’s gotta be something. If we can get Anchorage to stay with us all this time, we can keep Santa Fe.
KYLIE
Maybe the Primitives will be better next year if we throw some more money at them. I think if we do that, we can convince them to stay on another year.
KYLIE INTERVIEW
The Primitives are probably just having an off-year since they’re in a brand new location. With any luck, it’ll be a good excuse to take money away from Indy.
TREVOR
Do we even want to keep Santa Fe though? They’re not happy with our programming and we’re not happy with their ratings, so what’s the point? We figured from the start we’d cut them loose if they didn’t perform this season. I say we just cut them loose now before they go independent. It’s better optics.
SASHA turns to BENNY
SASHA
What’s the boss suggest?
BENNY
No need to worry, it’s my promise to only steer us in the right direction. I’m not getting fired again.
SASHA
So what do you suggest we do?
BENNY
Whatever the consensus is.
