Speaker 1: to get an m f a In writing and then
Speaker 1: write the book about them, and then she reads. It's
Speaker 1: also like a multicam sitcom, Like that's the premise of
Speaker 1: most jokes, Like two people talking about different things and
Speaker 1: they think, like I thought we were talking about grocery shopping,
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about how I want to have sex
Speaker 1: with you, and it's like, well that eggs means something different.
