  Speaker 5: project manager and then various other roles throughout the company,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: and then a couple of years ago they started a
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: film development division. They basically were like who wants? Like,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: who wants? And I volunteered on the slack and I
• 3:42

• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I'm Arthur Binkie.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I work at Google as well, and I really got
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: started at Google more on the finance side and more
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of the tech side, but we've kind of fallen into
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: this wonderful art side, and I'm so excited and obsessed.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I'm literally fathoming at the mouth to get this project
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: off the ground.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: He is fathoming. Don't even talk to me while he's fathoming.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: That is what we always I'm always like, I don't
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: even know if that off everybody.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I'm fathoming. I am fly at the mouth to get.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: This that is. And I was an English major in college.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: What is that?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I don't even know.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: That's so funny, so critically insane about this project. I've
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: literally developed a sort of sort of drool and and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and spit around my mouth because I'm so excited and obsessed.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Is that the studio or you guys? I, well, I
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: think it's like we're both. I think it's a lot
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: of us. I would say that a lot of it
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: is coming from us. I feel like I feel the
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: same way you do. Like my orifices, all of them
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: like are begging to just like expunge this movie.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Absolutely just begging to be unloaded with this movie, you know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: And it's so funny because we're creatives, right, and we
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: do a lot of work where we go into hospitals
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and prisons, and we help people that need to express art,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: help them, we help. I love that and it's fun
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: because working with you too, it feels exactly the same way.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: It's like I'm like with a convict or, I'm with
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: someone who's gonna die this year, you know what I mean?
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, And I feel that way about working with any executives.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: We work totally, totally.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: They're so excited to dive in touch so many things.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: They're literally bulls in china shops because they are knocking
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: things over left.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: And I have never heard that before. You've got to
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: make that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: You got You've got to make that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: You gotta make it what you've gotta make it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Got to make it our video show, you got to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: put that in your show writing a show, you got
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to put that in something. A bull in a China
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: shop is just like, it's so so funny and funny, and.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: It's like, where do they even come up with this?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Literally?
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Literally where do you, like? What is the little bug
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: in your brain that makes you think of this crazy stuff?
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: That's such a good point to start and explain where
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: we're at in the process.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Of course, of course.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Basically Google is trying to do what Apple TV did
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: with TV. Google is trying to do Google movies, but
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the catches all of them have to be related to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Google products. So one of the first ones coming out,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: we're so excited is Gmail the.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Movie Yes, and and it started. I would say that
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: we were actually the seed of the idea, if you
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: could believe.
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: It or not.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: We came up the idea for Gmail movie.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: The studio, the Google Content Creator studio thought of this,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: not any writers.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: It was, if you can believe it, this actually came
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: from us and not writers. So, uh, how it came
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: to us was we were watching the Emoji movie Yes
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: with our kids, so separately, separate kids, separate kids.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: We were not your own kids together, but they are
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: very happy together.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: They're also very happy okay at the same ag. Yeah,
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: And so we were watching They're definitely not no, no, no, no,
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: they're not. It wouldn't be the same. The timeline doesn't work.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: So we were watching the Emoji movie and we thought,
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: wait a minute, this is a movie about technology for kids.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: What if we did the same thing for adults.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: When you said that, I literally wanted to kiss you
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: on the mouth because it was so smart.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Things so, and I literally like, in that moment, I
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: would have screamed.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Literally I would You wouldn't have been able to.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Kiss me because I would have been screaming.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Screaming out of joy anyway. But what was crazy was
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: you guys had that idea and they found us. We
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: were working with Dave and Busters on a web series
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: that we were.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Releasing, and we we were looking for the right team
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: to work on this, and once we saw your daven
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Buster's web series.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a websites called Basketball Game based on
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the basketball game at David Buster.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Fell in love. It was so smart and so different,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: and people.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Don't know that when you're at David Busters. There's like
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: a lot of sounds at David Busters because it's an arcade,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: but ye're playing it somewhere so you can hear it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: You can hear some of the voices. We had some
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: great famous actors.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Great famous actors. Yeah, the voices. Yeah, we had what's
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: his name, Barry Keyogan.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we did basketball.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he played and the way he did that like
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: swish that sound, I'm like, I got chills.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Played beans and even Stevens Beans, yeah him, he did it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: He changed his name to beans.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: He did Carl to she was there. Yeah, it was
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a bit of a reunion.
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: We did.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: We did Instagram posts, but you know the the Instagram. Yeah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: our Instagram post for the web series. Our Instagram for
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the web series is on private. We don't know how
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: to get off.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know how to get it off.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Well, that was a huge but you came to us.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: We were developing that at the time.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: We are just a development team, right, we've we've been
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: we we met together. We met on Drake and Josh, Yes,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and we were working together.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: And and we didn't start dating until we wrapped the
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: room exactly.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I think we should be.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Clear about that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well I will say so.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: So we into Drake and Josh and we started on
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I Carly and between the end of Drake and Josh,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of By Carly, we were an item.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Wow, that was awesome.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: And that must have been a shake up.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Actually shaking my earth. That must have been crazy for them.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, and then we got engaged and at the time
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: I was taking spec work. I was doing some like
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: off the cuffspec work for Toyota, and that's when we
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: started with products and we're like, you know, at this point.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: These studios, especially the children's channels, they bring in a
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: lot of new blood and my Honeybun and I have
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: been in the business for a long time, so we
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: were like, where can we grow?
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Where can we exactly?
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: And when we realized we realized that, you know, creative growth,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: it was probably past our time.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Of course, we didn't have any.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Roots anywhere that we could explore ourselves artistically in any
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: new ways, and we had nothing new to say. So
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: we could either start some sort of business where I
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: could go back to you know, becoming with a dauntist,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: or I could I could become.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Some sort of teacher or something like that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Or we could just stay in the industry and take
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: jobs that we didn't have to use our brains for.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Yes, And I think what was it? I think I
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: saw an Instagram logo once I said high concept, Hi concept,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: High concept, and I went, you know what, that's my
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: new artistic voice, hi concept.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: And you know what's so funny is is it was
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: somebody posted one word but her phone has been broken
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: for years and it just says.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: He why would someone make an Instagram graphic?
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Was that was literally my thought is why would that happen.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: It was so funny.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: That's amazing.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: You do also follow that Hollywood Buzzwords Instagram account that
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: just close words.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: And it's helpful because I learned words.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, what's the new one? You learned?
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Oh general, general, general, general, But that's my phone.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: General, So you just learned the word general. I know.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I am literally crawling under my skin for you.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: My teeth out. I cannot believe.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: You phrases, they're so interesting.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: We follow a corporate buzzroom account, which.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Is really fun they have they're so funny. They're posting
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: like words like technology.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah for general, not roasted honey, just lovingly.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Ye.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: So basically, one thing that we we really should go
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: over is kind of what's happening in this movie. And
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: we said it was going to be the Emoji movie
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: for adults, and we mean that. I mean, this is
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: going to be a lit little bit braunchy, a little
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: bit you know, maybe don't bring your kids to the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Gmail the movie movie. Exactly, it's gonna be a little you.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Know, because I just want to talk. And Okay, So
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: basically the way that emojis, the characters in the Emoji
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Movie are actually based on the emojis in your phone. Right,
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: So in Gmail, each of the different mailboxes is a character.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Right in box is a clown.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: And when we thought of this, we should it out
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: our brains because it was insane.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: To be clear, they did think of this. We did
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: have a lot of pitches and we loved working for
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: you guys, and we're used to everything we write getting
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: shot down.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was yes, and I want to be clear,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: we were onboard, right, clear.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: So we wrote a little bit of an outline and
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: some character we wrote.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: And we did. There was there was a night where
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: we wrote the script, but I will say I don't
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: recognize any of the words on the page. After we
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: woke up. Have happened in like a blackout, crazy rage.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But I loved it because we woke up and we
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: got to take what we liked from it and turn
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: it into really exactly.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: That was cool.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: You took what you liked and kind of sort of
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: made them commands, right, And we came in and there
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: was the command list and like a bible, like a
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: show bible for the movie.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: It was a lot of do this with this, do this, yes, yes,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: but we really I.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Think we nailed some of the characters. I mean inbox,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: outgoing spam. I want to spam.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and and and you mentioned don't bring your kids
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: to this. Spam is disgusting, disgusting, He's disgusting.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: He's and I think weel Wilson spam.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: So the character is rebel Wilson meets Stewie from Family Guy,
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: and it is so disgusting it makes me laugh so hard.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: I cannot believe.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: We guess it's Ted, but with more it's so good.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: I always thought Ted didn't go far, and.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I think I watched that I go they didn't push
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the onlope far enough.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: It's crazy to be honest, as you guys are talking
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: about spam, the character that is we've worked on for
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: so long. I do to be fully honest. My my
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: breathing is getting a little thinner, totally. I'm such a
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: specific image of spam. And I think every single line
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: of dialogue that spam says has been debated. What would
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: spam say that?
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: And so far you guys haven't hit it, and we
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: are just waiting.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: We'll find it, because this is coming out in three months,
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: so we will find it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: It is coming out, and it's live action. It's live action.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Rebel Wilson is just dressed up like spam. Yeah, totally,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: she dresses up.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: She goes to a trailer every day and she says,
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: are we shooting yet? And we're we don't have that yet.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: But Rebel, you are so sweet and kind. It's coming baby,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: because you guys.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Have a very specific image of spam and.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: People are wondering also, like what is a character in
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: this movie? Are you in ethereal mailbox? Are you an
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: actual mail you know?
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: What? What are these things? And to that, I say,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: the Barbie.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: Movie exactly, exactly break.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so funny that you think that, because it
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: is the Barbie Movie and that's kind of what we're capturing,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you know. It's kind of how the Barbie Movie was
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: about feminism underneath it all. You know.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: They hated that message pretty hard.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Like I didn't get it the first time, but somebody
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: explained to me that it is about feminism at the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: end totally, And I feel like we can do the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: exact same thing with the Gmail movie.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: What's similar to that Swedish fish movie that came out
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: a couple of years Oh yeah, right.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: There that you try to remember the name to.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Definitely definitely, definitely there was some influence there. Of course,
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: there was some influence.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Do I know my wife or what? I saw her
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: look at that post and she's about to bring that up.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Do I know my wife?

  Speaker 1: Or what?
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Do you know your wife?
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Or what?
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Of a game show that we tried to pitch back.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: It's so good. We had Heidi Gloom.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Signed on for a PBS game show called do I
• 15:58

  Speaker 4: No, who knows her wife? You know she's that wife?
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to life.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: It's so fun.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: They've been so chill, and it's incredible when we're like,
• 16:32

• 16:35
  Speaker 5: like you don't even bat and eye like you you
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: sort of like you put your you do this, so
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: you do this funny thing every time. Okay. So I
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: don't know if you've experienced this. Okay, I don't know
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: if you've experienced this. But when when we say, like, oh,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: we think this character should actually be a person instead
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: of a mailbox, you always put your head in your hands.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: It's literally so and that's how I know you're thinking.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, I know my husband and something.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: It's so funny this and I go, he's going to
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the brain.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: And he's about to come up with something I love.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: That you love that I can't because let him talk
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: And I won't him talk about it, you know what?
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm doing actually and and and uh,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: you know, I guess I'll let it all come out here.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: When I do put my head there, I'm actually uh
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: envisioning the deck I can build with the money we're making.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm doing.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: We have a deck, visually, were going to get a deck.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: We live in We live in Flintbridge, the oh Jess
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: flint Ridge, just.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Footbridge, Panga Canyon anyway. But I'll say, you guys, like
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: what you just said there, how we like take your
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: stuff and we and we go with it and do
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: so well I said it. Really I think we started
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: doing that once you too respected the hours in which
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: you were allowed to call us and which you're not.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Once you sting that huge we had communication that was
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: the was some hiccups, you know, because you guys did
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: tell us that it's not all right for us to
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: both call you to try to zoom you at three am.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: And why are you guys.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Together at three exactly exactly?
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Why why are you why are you wearing a full
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: length nightgown? And why are you in a pajama set?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: And and I love and I love that question.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: Such a good questions, such a funny question because I
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: could so see why people would think that we're work
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: husband and work wife. But but without the work part.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Right, I can totally work. It's so works because.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: We have pajama parties for our for for work, because
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: we have another job, right, Like we're also doing Google
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: and so this is like our hobby.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we were sleeping in our house and flint Ridge
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: to Bank Canyon, and we get these calls in the
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: middle of the night. And we live in like kind
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: of a quieter area of back at flint Ridge.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: And so you can imagine how quiet it is.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I will say it was just I mean.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: To pay a candiot alone is quiet imagine a part.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Of we have flint Ridge itself side.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: So people say it's like one of those if you
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: put yourself in a soundless vacuum and you go crazy.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I will say, you guys respect boundaries once
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: they're there, but were still there, and this was our.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: First thing to tell us.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Literally, we are so open and honest and.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: We're so obsessed with if you give us a time.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Then will answer it and will.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Be fill it here.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Did you say something I would hate to talk over?
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: I am so sorry I would hate to talk over.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Happens a lot. You know, if you want to speak,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: you're allowed to.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Speak because I'm how you two hear each other.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: That is interesting for me.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: That is so interesting because sometimes it's almost like we're
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: both talking on a radio frequency and like we can
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: dial in if we want.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: It's so easy to just pick up because sometimes you'll
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: just do something with your head and I'll go, she's hungry,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I'll bring her.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Something like that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: It's like a like you will move your hand in
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: such a way that I know that you need an.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: App literally and literally it's wow. She Sometimes at work,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: she'll turn to me and go feeling a little sweepy
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: big boy, and I'll know, like, oh, yeah, she pecked
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: on it before.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Even immediately immediately. And sometimes this is working from home.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're working from home. Yeah, so we both
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: work from home home. So we are flint Ridge.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: We're a flint Ridge. It's so quiet. It's so quiet,
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: so quiet and so quiet. But sometimes it's so quiet
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: that if a bird is chirping too loud, somebody calls
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: the cops. So we do get police sirens.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Sometimes this police and the gardener's very very loud in
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: the morning.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Yes, oh my god, Well but I love that smell.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: It's such a good stop.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Let her speak. She's speaking. My wife's talking. Jesus Christ.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, I'm so sorry.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: This is a part of the creative process. We get
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: in the little bumps on the road. But it's like
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: like that every way.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: But you guys, you get angry.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: I make come for myself, honey. When you guys have
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: a loud bird. It reminds us of when you guys
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: call us and you call us on Google Meet and
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: our phone. We have a house phone. Still you call
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: that my watch call our cell phones on our Apple watches,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: you call us, and I will say you guys as
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: as Google representatives. You have so many tools at your fingertips,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: and it is crazy how many ways you can communicate
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: to us.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: I would also say too.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: And this has been kind of a I guess, not
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: a not a hurdle, but something to work on in
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: this project.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Is all ears, all ears? Yeah, are all ears for this.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: The culture in which you guys are using Gmail is
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: different than the rest of the world, right, You guys
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: are using Gmail in such an intense, wild way, and
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you want the movie to reflect that experience. We've let
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: you know it's not relatable in the way you guys
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: use Gmail. You guys send a lot of emails with
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: subjects without body. You send a lot of emails no subject,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: long body. You use little tricks you can monitor when
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I open an email just from your Gmail, you can
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: see my reaction. You you send me an email sometimes
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: where my computer flashes and it says, oh, it's just
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: taking a shot of you reacting to the email. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: sometimes there's a delayed reaction, so you know there's something
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: like forty five seconds into me reading, and you want
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: to take a picture of.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: When I read that much, we were on a blank
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: email thread between us all and you guys had attached
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: a thread from twenty nineteen. Then I scrolled up.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is all news to us, like we
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: and we're so glad that you are grounding us because
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: like we are. So we've been working at Google for
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: what I'm like eleven years or eleven years, yeah, almost exactly,
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: because we both started on September fifth, twenty thirteen, thirteen,
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, and so we've been using these features forever.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: We had no idea that you couldn't access somebody's webcam
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: by sending them an email and just.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Want me to cut out of the movie because it's
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: not relatable.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: No, it's exactly. And you remember that one time we
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: opened that email and it was like seven.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Paragraphs when we were reading it, and then at the
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: bottom there was an open video chat and he said,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: so what do you guys think you were in the email?
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Was spooked.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: We were there my brain when.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: You guys told us that wasn't a relatable thing that happens,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: it blew my It was shocking.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: It was shocking. It was shocking because we also had
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: that part because you know, there were those like chain
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: emails that were going around in like two thousand and
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: eight where it's like, oh, send this to ten people
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: or else you'll get cursed. Those are actually real, and
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: those are real ones that we can add. And so
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: when we like sent you guys that like you guys
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: had such a reaction, and.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: I think it was because you were trying to get
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: it to be implemented between the love story between Inbox
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: and Outbox. Yeah, and we should talk about that, Artie, Yes,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: talk about the whole.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Thing, because this is, at the end of the day,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: it is a love story. It's a beautiful, beautiful love story.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: If you could believe it or not, it is a
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: love story you.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Two always wanted to be about these two people who
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: can want to be together but can't be together. And
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: I love exactly. My passion towards telling that story has
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: kind of catapulted us into eat a simple story.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's so funny because I think we just thought
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: of that. I mean, it doesn't relate to us at all.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I just thought it would be the best for Inbox too.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: No, it was crazy the way we just thought of that.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I just thought of it. It just came to me
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: because you guys are such.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: A tech world.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, we barely have feelings. We barely blink.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: No, I don't remember the last. Every time I go
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: into my therapist, I literally it's the same conversation. I
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: sit down, she goes no news, and I say no news,
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: and then I leave.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: You should watch her do therapy. It's really exciting, really exciting.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: I watched it.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Let my husband do that.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: No, I sit down and watch her.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: No, if you guys want to join me for therapy,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: sometimes you should come by my girls. Amazing, it's so great.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: But yes, these characters, these characters, these characters, these characters.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: And let's talk about it. Let's just talk about the plot.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the setting. How's that Let's start with
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: the very basics of the movies.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: That would be awesome.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And that's why I love it, because you're so smart
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: at that stuff, Like I would never know that movies
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: have a setting that's like something.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you know that? That's very interesting? Not to
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: know it feels like a.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Like a reading comprehension thing.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Maybe that's so interesting, just so smart?
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Take who were and why we always have to remind sounds.
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: Like a real cognitive issue to be Okay.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: Now, these are the jokes that I that I would
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: die without. My heart would beat out of my chest and.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: My nose will be throwing ship out of it. When
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: you guys say these, these these phrases, I don't know
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: where you're for me.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: It's like, you see, I say jokes and I miss them,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and then maybe a second later, it hits me in
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the back of the head like a hammer and makes.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Out a dream and it boomerangs and it hits me
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: in the throat strangles me, and then I'm ready for work.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: So the Gmail movie takes place in Webopolis, right.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, it's a continue.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's like a big metropolitan city where everything on
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the Internet is like its own building.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Because you were pretty married to the Gmail movie being
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: taken place in Utopia because we love we love Utopia,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: and we just kept saying Webopolis and Utopia.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Is just such a good place to put a movie.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: It's so crazy how they thought about.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: It's so interesting. It's like, if it ain't broke, don't
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: fix it. Right, It's like, you know, Shakespeare borrowed from
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: the Greeks. That's what I heard, And so I I
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: think that we can borrow from Zutopia.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Just straight up.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: We just it's a live action movie and that's a
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Disney movie, right, so we can't set the Gmail movie
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: in Zutopia.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: It's just is yeah, and we'll go around. Now.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: When you said rights, I'm like, I get that.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I get rights. We totally understand.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Like once you put it in that context, yeah, it's
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: totally makes sense. But it was it was important for
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: us for you guys to admit that Utopia was amazing concept.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: Once we could find common ground on that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: That was like after four months.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, we admitted it would be amazing if we could,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: and then you said, okay, we can.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: That's all we needed was that I had no idea
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: that everything we were fighting for. All we needed was
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: the validation that it was a good idea.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: It was such a good advice exactly because we really
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: see you guys as people with a lot of money
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: who have a lot of power, and we did not
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: realize that you needed our approval so much.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Well, you we see you guys as genius creative. Sure,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: you guys worked on Drake and Josh.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: You two boss babies, two mega minds, two young Sheldon's
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: running around the place just barfing out ideas literally.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: And sorry, she's coughing up encouragement.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: Oh that felt so good. That felt so good to
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: get out.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Anyway, we're taking place in Webopolis, So.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Web Populis is this genius place that you guys came
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: up with that we absolutely smooched over. It was amazing
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: concept that Webopolis. Everything lives on the web. I thought
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: It just kind of painted such a great picture.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: And we learned in Webopolis there is no sleep because
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: emails don't sleep.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Right, Emails don't sleep. But also there's no urgency, right
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: because the great thing about an email as opposed to
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: a text is that it's delayed. It's delayed importance. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: this was something we wanted to be stressed. That we
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: want it stressed about.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because no one in the movie uses phones or
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: text messages. Yeh, stressed emails.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: And the big thing is this is a movie.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: It's a love story, but it's also an adventure that
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: involves a mcguffin, which is a mcguffin is a movie
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: term for the thing that everyone's chasing, right, And the
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: thing that everyone's chasing is an email with a mistake
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: in it.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Everybody wants it. It's this golden email.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows they wanted to use it for nefarious goods
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: or to protect it from ever being sent out because
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: all the letters go out into the rest of Webopolis,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: but they're generated right there in the Gmail building, And
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: so it's a big chase where you know, out box
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: really wants it to be sent out Inbox, really, it
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: really wants it to be sent in Inbucks wants to
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: keep it right, an wants to do something weird with it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Spam wants to ship all over it. Yes, exactly to
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth Night when.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: We were pitching lines for spam, when we were just
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: up all night on Children's Triumedic pitching lines for spam.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: You guys love spam, Children's Triumanic. You guys love both
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: of those things. You love both of those things.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: I love Children's Triamedic. You guys really have to try,
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: because try it been sober for what ten years?
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Oh you haven't, I think sober for ten years as well.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Cocktail out a night the other day.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I don't drink out.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: I don't drink alcohol.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: It's not a girly's nighttime mocktail.
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: That is literally cough syrup as what you're talking about.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: We're sober.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we were anyways, we were doing children's trumanic pitching
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: lines for spam Box, and we came up with some
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: really messed up show.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: We were saying, like, okay, these are we could say
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: these because these were left on the cutting room floor,
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: but these were what we sent in Google voice notes
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: to you guys.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Uh, we're so loud, by the way.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Let's play him.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, I'm just parted out my butt.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: These are lines you were pitching.
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: That we wanted, you guys, and you didn't tell us
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: that that's what these were, right, And so we just
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: started getting over time we get.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Used to wait, that's not the executive's voices, that's their
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: impression of spam play more of them.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Is that a reply all email or you just got
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: a boner?
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: See it sounds like he's real boy to figure.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Out is hard at first.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, you should see me and my husband. We are
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: just sitting in our beds, staring at the ceil and
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: listening to these loud because we don't have kids.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Right, We're staring at ourselves in the mirror on our ceiling.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because we get into crazy shit yeah.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: The first time I noticed that you guys had a
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: mirror on your ceiling, I said, they're not as boring
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: as I think.
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: To be fair, you were not asked to come into
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: the bedroom. When you came over, I had an idea.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: I had to let you guys know that was boundaries
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: were established, and that was before boundaries on the doors
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: with pitches for spam lines. But we have spamed. But
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: then we also which my husband and I've been working
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: really hard on, which you guys, I think have less
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: of a very specific vision on is junk and junk is.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: That was a mystery to me. We were like, we
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: have no idea what to do?
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: I literally, I literally had no idea, and we had
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: to release you the burden, right.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Because actually stressing us out so so much. We were
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: up all night drinking suit of fed, going oh my god,
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: what are we gonna.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Being like, Okay, there's Harry Potter and then there's Voltimore, right,
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: there is always an antagonist, and when that unlocked in
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: your brain, oh my god, it was huge.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: It was like junk, Yeah, junk wanted to strengthen itself
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: by eating the golden email, right, yes, and wanted to
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: ruin everything.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Because all he eats are emails that are crupped, yes
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: or mistaken.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: And I thought somebody eating an email would be such
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: funny physical comedy that I fell in love with it.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Well yeah, and that's you know, and I appreciate that.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: But he's the villain, right yeah, and so we actually
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: so then, so we actually put all that physical comedy
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: into drafts and that's our baby. Drafts is the funniest
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: little character.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: I really really really love drafts and something that I
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: didn't really wrap my head around.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: And Ben Platt is amazing, but I couldn't really wrap
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: my head around it because a draft can't be seen
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: by anybody because it's in your own.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Like all of the all of the things, you can't
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: be seen by people, right, they live in If we
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: use that kind of.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: Logic, Okay, so you're losing an you're losing me.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Sobody, Sometimes you guys put down things, I'm just being honest.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: You put down laws that are just gatekeeping where you
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: decide you don't like something, you pick a law and
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: you make something use.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Just don't think that's true. All I'm saying is draft
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: is a fake email.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: But then the thing is, so it's not a fake email,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: it's a prett email, It's a draft is smbling on him.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: You know, he's a mumbler, he's a ceterer. He's trying
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: to figure out exactly. Drafts are all.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: The things in life that we haven't done yet, sit
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: in our driveway of thoughts and brains in our and
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: we go should I should I? And they sit there.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I remember when we connected because this draft simply the
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: civilized the child that we always wanted to make.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: That we never could make.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: Odd we put that in the work.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: It's it's so funny. I've had fertility issues.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: I'm dying. You guys are so funny.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: It's so funny. No, No, that's actually so funny. That's
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: so funny. But I just don't get it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Draft doesn't eat emails or run around like crazy or
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: say weird thing.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: That's not what because that's not what happens at work
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: when we go to work. And so we were just
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: like trying to wrap our head around that. But we
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: believe that you guys know what, you're absolute faith. We
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: have absolute faith, absolutely, and.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: When those boundaries are respected, I do. I'm thankful for
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: the faith. Of course, you guys have put in so
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: many resources into our writing process. That fun writer's retreat
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: we all did.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: So my God, and thank you for letting us come.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: That was so I mean, oh, hi was incredible, absolutely
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: so romantic work romantic.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: It was so romantic in the way that I was
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: just regular the whole time.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: What's going on? I'm good, I'm back. What happened? Are you?
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: I mean even good?
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I forgot who I was for a second and I
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: showed you a side of myself that I should have kept.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Do you have a draft sitting?
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: I'm going to leave it there because I don't think
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: the draft is welcome here. Wow, we want to talk
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: about the draft.
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: I don't want to talk about the draft that you
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: know who. I want to talk about the person who
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: made all that music for us.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Give it up, the.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: One the only Josh Groban wrote so many godmail me please.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: We are such romans on Gmail, Josh Groban, because that
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: was gorgeous. It made me want to slow dance.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: So bad, so bad.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: And I will say, you know what was amazing about
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: getting so much top to your talent.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: We already had their email addresses, right, That's the thing.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: We Since we work for Google, we can just look
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: up anybody.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Ever, anybody's email address. That's something they don't tell you.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Don't Yeah, that's you guys have like a yellow Pages.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: But I will say, ever since I started working with
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: you guys, you guys did give me a Gmail email.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: But it's very confusing because it's at Gmail at Gmail
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: the movie and it's almost impossible to like.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: Uh, because like any random person can be at Gmail
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: dot com, right, but so we need to distinguish the
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Gmail employees from that. So it's at Gmail dot com,
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: Gmail dot com, yes, And so that's hard and I.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Guess that that is, especially when it's at Gmail dot
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: com at Gmail themovie team at Gmail dot com.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, exactly, it's And it's tough for you guys
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: because you guys are just kind of unfamiliar with computers
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: in general, right, right, I mean figuring out slack with
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: you guys.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: That's why we had to send you so many things.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: You guys could not figure out slack.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: Well, I think you just you spend a lot of
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: time talking down to us. And at some point I
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: do use a computer and I can do it. But
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: because I'm not intact doesn't mean I'm like, I'm like
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: completely not.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: No, that's interesting. You should see sure where to start.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: You should see her do that. We should see you
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: should see her do the New York Times connections. She's
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: so good at it, and the and the seven letter
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: word thing.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: She's good at that. She's good at that.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: She's good at that, because I'm so bad. The other day,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys saw this one. They
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: had sponge Bob square and pants, yes, and that wasn't
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: a category, and I just kept clicking over and over
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: and over again. I'm like, it has to be that,
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: keep submitting over and over and over again.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: So funny. She's in bed and I'm right next to her.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: She's trying to figure this thing out and she cannot
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: figure it out.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: Cant together.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: We don't live together, No, no, not at all, not
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: at all. We are work living together.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: We are work living together because we both work from home. Right,
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: do you understand what that means?
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: So do you guys get that?
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Sorry, that's a tech thing. We work from home, and
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: so that's why we were both in the bed.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: We work from home. We're screenwriters, right, we've done that
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: very frequently. Okay, yeah, that just makes sense to me.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: But I mean I am curious. I know we're on
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: an official interview of the press tour, but I am curious.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: We did send you guys a final draft last night.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, we love we love it.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: We have so much to say about it, so much
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: to say about it. Yeah, so I was thinking if
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: we could pencil in like eight ten hours or so
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: to really just like hash that out and deliver our thoughts,
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: because we had a lot of pitches for funny lines, and.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: That goes back to our boundaries. Remember that we are
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: past the point of pitching one liners.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: That was very okay, actually right, we're.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Only doing meetings that go up to four and a
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: half hours.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, right, so, and we actually are busy tonight we're
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: going with a Drake and Josh Ryder's reunion at jazz
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Night at the Farmer's Market.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, you can skip that.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, I don't know much about the
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: thing you have to go to that only allows jazz
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: night like once in exactly, like we're not really going
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: for the night at the farmer.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: Am actually the lad that we're talking about the final
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: draft though, because we had an idea earlier what if
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: we changed the setting to Disneyland.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: That wouldn't that be funny?
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah? So do you talk to the people at Disney there.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: What's the relationship with Google and Disney?
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: No, we just love it.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: We love Disney, you love it Google. Disney knows that
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Google's a fan.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: So Disney knows Google's a fans.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: Disney is well aware that Googles a fan.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: When you search Disney, it says Disney Channel Google a fan.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: You know what, buddy, I think that sentence might just
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: broke me. Disney knows Google as a fan. What does
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: that industry become?
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Honey?
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: What have we turned into? We used to be able
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: to make money off of this. Did you were so
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: funny when you got Now Disney knows Google's a fan?
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: Here, I love the corporation is like Jerry Seinfeld, This
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: so good, so funny.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna ship my ears out.
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: Another corporation is an admirer of what that corporation does.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: No people, no people, Disney knows Google's a fan. Well,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know what Google's a fan. Disney know Google
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: is a fan. Disney knows Googles a fans.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: I think it's actually pretty clear when you look at
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: their Instagram interactions. They comment on each other fourteen.
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: Year old girls that are running those for free. I
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: guarantee you that.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: Okay, Oh god, oh god.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: It's okay. I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: That must be broken because at some point I want
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: to know what your fundamental understanding misunderstanding with Webopolis, because
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: I like, do we need to change the name because
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: it like you guys just have to give me some concrete.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, okay, so I love it. I want to start
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: with we love it. We love I know.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: But every time we send you a draft, it comes
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: back with a new setting.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: And it's the best we can do. It's the best
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: we can do that, and that.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: We don't need the compliment pre phase.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: No, we get it. Okay, this is okay, you get it.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: We are. We've been in the corporate world for too long.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: You don't want to compliment sandwich. You want somebody to
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: give it to you straight, right, You want it to
