  Speaker 2: I will admit I have watched only the first episode
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: because I don't tell me this. This is going to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: be my follow up question. You work so hard making
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a series, people binge watch it all in a weekend.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Do you want them to space it out a little
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: bit so that they have like something to work towards,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: or are you like on board, just gobble it all up,

• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't blame someone if they wanted to watch it
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: all in one beat. But I will say what I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: hope more than anything is that people watch it with
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: other people, because honestly, one thing that I think people
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: will be so pleasantly surprised about is how fun and
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: funny this show is. There are some laugh out loud
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: moments in it, and I think that watching it with
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: other people, it will be that much more appreciated. My
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: mom in this June Diane Rachel, is one of the
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: funniest people I have ever worked with. What I feel
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: most sad about is that people only to get to
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: see one take that she does, because okay, this woman
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: will say, keep the cameras rolling and we'll do eighteen
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: improvs in a row, each one funnier than the last,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and we can only show one of each. So that's
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: what I hope that as people.
