• 0:46
  Speaker 3: falling apart, work is not going well. They're having to
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: lean on each other during this time, and since they
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: both don't have their you know what together, it's a
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: beautiful mess. And so, yeah, it's a dark comedy, a
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: lot of fun lives, pull back the curtain on life
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: a little a little bit of some guys working in
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the industry, and yeah, I feel like people can relate
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: to it no matter what industry that they're in. It's
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: really just about friends leaning on each other and trying
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: to figure out life together.

• 1:13
  Speaker 1: much your baby, right you crowdfunded the first season and

• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a great feeling, am I?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Am?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I getting that right?
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it has been a journey. It's like
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: a fully independent TV show. There's no you know, major
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: money behind this or studio behind this or anything. So
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you know, it has been a labor of love and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it's been the reason that we like get up out
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of bed, you know in the morning for the past
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: like six seven years, and it's been incredibly rewarding creatively.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: But like to have it get here, to get it
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: on the biggest stage on Netflix is honestly, it's like
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a dream comtry. We could not have asked for anything more.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Nice man. Yeah, that's the thing nowadays you can sort
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of take charge of your own career and there's no
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: more sort of excuses. While platforms, YouTube and what have
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you can make stuff happen for yourself. So I like that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And you guys have worked together a bunch throughout the years, right,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I mean I remember your time on One Tree Hill.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's where yep, go ahead, go ahead, Stephen.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah so I said, that's where we first met, back
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: many many moons ago.

• 2:23
  Speaker 1: know each other that's where you first met? Okay, got it.

  Speaker 1: And Steven, I know you just had the reunion recently
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: from a Laguna beach twenty years bro, damn ken believe
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that that flew by right there. I remember when that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: first came out. How was it reuniting that one?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Man, it was good. I felt like it was
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the right time to do it. You know, everyone had
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: had so far moved on with their lives. I've moved
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: so far from that time, and yeah, that was like
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the best way we can do it, you know. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: think having everyone come together and be able to speak
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: about what happened in high school because all the stuff
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: that was on the show was like based off of
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: real things that happened. We needed time to pass and
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: for it to be something that we can all get
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: together and and laugh at and kind of rip each
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: other about. And that's what it was, and it really
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: was a celebration of that, and so we had a
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: lot of fun doing it.
• 3:13
