Honestly, they know certain stories that would never get revealed to your, your mates just because that's the way it is.

So yeah.

New people came in, and it was always kind of like, oh, I wonder what this is going to be like.

But it was never like, oh, we don't like that writer.

It was people left mostly on their own accord.

Occasionally, some people just weren't brought back.

But every year, the writer's room was like, oh, this is a great writer.

I'm like, oh, this is a great writer.

I mean, obviously, the original for me was...

I was so new and everyone was like so experienced and I was just happy to have to be accepted.

And the, the final writers room was, I mean, Matt, Matt was there and Tischler, I'm not going to rename everyone, but that group was a great group.

And everyone, they were all good writers and we all were, we're all in a groove by that point.

Everyone knew what to do with the characters and we had dynamics and, you know,

You know, whenever we want to, you know, Mike, we had a role going and then Michael goes, oh, I'm going to go take this call.

We go, oh, no, there goes all momentum.

It was it was all the shared misery and joy and love and.

But there was a real, probably more bonding on the final season just because knowing, well, this is really it.

And so I'm not going to see these people every day for a while.

And it was a long while before I saw any of them.

I know you loved everybody, but over the years, since you were there for the entire time, who was the writer you were saddest to see leave?
