Meet the dudes

Dude 1 Shawn Donnelly has never met anyone better than him at turning to the radio station that he's already listening to. Now for the backstory: Arrives to earth in St. Joseph, Missouri. Moves to Champaign, Illinois in the third grade (at the age of 17). Delivers newspapers, mows lawns, plays soccer. College in Missouri. Beer. Rum. Vodka. Journalism. Whiskey. Washington, D.C. Attends his first party where there aren't plastic cups. Gets a job typing every word he hears on TV. Keeps job because of the parties without plastic cups. Because of job, stops getting invited to parties. Starts writing scripts with his college buddy Steve "The Body" Mazzucchi. Shoots documentary. Moves to Los Angeles. Makes documentary. Waits for someone to call and ask him to do something fun for a lot of money and even more glory. While waiting, yearns for parties with plastic cups. M-I-Z--Z-O-U.

Dude 2 Steve Mazzucchi has worked for Men's Health, Muscle & Fitness, and Maxim magazines. He has also worked for the Washington Post (as a delivery boy), New Jersey's now-defunct Lincroft Pharmacy (as a stock boy), and Ventura Boulevard's South Beach Tan (as an oil boy). These days, he's a freelance writer who lives in New York City. He once ate 28 Cadbury Eggs in a row. Sometimes, he has trouble keeping his shirt on.

Dude 3 Angus Spottiswoode was born in North Wales in 1972 and grew up in North London during Thatcher's Bloody Eighties. After failing almost all of his exams, he decided instead to find work in the 'real world.' Whilst trying to follow his father's advice to "never work in marketing or for military intelligence," he took the first job that he could get -- as an office boy in film marketing, where he stayed for almost seven years. Then, with some fore-planning, he moved to Los Angeles and started out as an apprentice editor. After toiling on the feature films 8 Mile, Big Fat Liar, and The 6th Day, he met Shawn and Steve and helped cut their first film. Ironically he is again working in film marketing, albeit now as an editor. As far as he knows he has never worked for military intelligence, though these days you can never be too sure.
