[00:00:11]Yeah, the last episode, the pilot, was a good introduction uh towards this family and all the craziness that I'm sure we're going to be getting up to, but I can also see some of the uh I don't know, like inner drama between this family that I you know, I can see growing throughout these episodes and kind of tackled in a way that I think The Office tackles a lot of their human relations. Uh so, I'm really looking forward to obviously not only the jokes and the comedy, but the writing that could be done here as well, too. So, yep, I'm very excited. I hope that you guys enjoy yourself.
