you know, any brand names that we really recognize. They're like, you know, maybe like a few things you could see there, but really we do everything we can to keep them out because it's its own universe in its own place. And I think that allows it to then, you know, not be commenting on something that's specifically happening right now in the moment.

speaking you know kind of to like any place any time there have always been these these sorts of sacrifices you make i think the idea of working at a big company a big corporation is you know what's there in the show and you know he wrote that script close to 10 years ago the pilot oh wow we started making it before covet and then all of a sudden we were making it during covet and then it was like a show about you know isolation

So it's interesting how certain ideas, I think if there's something that's universal in them, and I think this idea of going to a job that you work for this sort of unknown boss who we don't know who the board is, we don't know who the CEO is really, and we know who he is, but we don't know what they're doing, why they're doing it. These people literally have no idea what they're doing there.

And I think there's something that people can relate to in a certain level. I also love the metaphor of just life, of like, you know, we get up, We do our thing. We work hard. We get upset. We fall in love. We do all this stuff. And we have no idea why or really where we're going or what happens when we die.
