| 0:00.0 | There were only two men on the writing staff, like me and my brother. |
| 0:03.7 | And like I was working on another show at the same time, |
| 0:06.8 | and my brother was also on that one, so we were going back for, so like, |
| 0:10.0 | usually it was like all women like writing all the the episodes okay let's talk about |
| 0:17.0 | Mr and Mrs Smith the new series streaming on Amazon Prime that as you can tell by the title was I believe the term they're |
