Their lack of depth and their weird medical diets, no water for six months. I love that you're sort of monologuing about how that happened we are. Do Australians do that? Oh, that's so fun.

That's so cute. Now, tell me a little bit about Snapchat. Okay, sure. So, yeah, let's go to meeting room four. Let's sit down and we're going to talk to you a little bit about Snapchat. Okay. Let's talk to you about... And we can't wait to hear about where we come from.

And then I'd love to hear about what you're up to. Yeah. Okay, so, Broden. Yeah? You're a star. I've been at Snapchat since... Since... When have I been?

Since 17, I believe. Yeah. Yeah, I started a do. day ago. So they started a day ago. I started in 17, 2017. Now, my predecessor was here for three days. Wow. You understand? This is, we're really changing things up a little bit. So, so as you know, okay, Snapchat, a lot of people don't know this, but I think you might have the idea in your head, all right? So Snapchat, the ghost icon, the ghost icon. Oh, yeah, sure, you know your Snapchat. I love it.

Obviously, Snapchat got it start with the instant messaging that deleted itself, okay? But Snapchat is so much more than that. And that's something we really want to impress on people. Snapchat is more than just pictures of balls. We're branching out from pictures of balls. It's not just pictures of balls. It's not just pictures of breasts. You know, it's not just pictures of vagina.

It's not just pictures of bottoms. That's what I think it is. That's what I think it is. We're known for pictures of balls, bottoms, breasts, and vaginas. Now, we know that. okay we know that we're aware of the fact that you know a lot of people you know I I grew up in the Midwest okay I saw it it's true I grew up in the Midwest I moved to LA with a dream it's true okay we had a dream with a dream yeah did I expect to be working and I remember I remember when

they call me one of the guys is sorry Snapchat called me he said uh hey you want to come work for us I love what you're doing over at HBO it's true okay it's true and I said excuse me Who are you y'all calling me from? And he said, I'm calling from Snapchat. And I said, and I got to admit. What did you say? I got to admit, I said Snapchat, is that not the, is that not the place that does the pictures of balls? And breast and vagina.

At bottoms. And bottoms. And bottoms and vaginas and vaginas. That's what I know for. We're in the vagina room now. You know, and that's exactly it. This used to be, before we caught a room for. It has the vaginas and balls.

I was a guy that said, why don't we number them? instead of making them pictures of breast vaginas balls why don't we number them and that's true to what we do now here it was the first big change it was the reason I wanted to come to Snapchat

and I got to say the reason I want to come to Snapchat is he said to me listen yeah we do pictures of balls that go away real quick all right that's the ghost no evidence pictures of leaves no evidence

no evidence but it does what you mean no no no no no But that's not my business. That's the tech guys. You see them down the hall. We see them at the, when we get the free little wraps for lunch. I see those tech guys that go, what are you doing? How are you making the pictures disappear?

Yeah, yeah. I said, where does it go? And they said it disappears. Okay. Okay. So you, I don't know anything about like the science and the tech behind it. No. We are all, we are all about innovation.

And creates them. Forward thinking. No balls. I grew up in the Midwest. you understand. It's true. I remember I used to go the pictures and I used to go this is the only way you can tell a story. So what is?

Snapchat isn't. It is not just pictures of balls. It's not. It's not just pictures of vagina. It's so much more. Or at least it can be. It can be so much more than that. Do you have a live feature? No.

What's this now live feature? Oh, playing it out live. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These are, again, that's on the tech side. So the live, the stories, you know, Well, that's what they call it on my Instagram. We call it something different, you know, the little, tiny little things

that stay around for 24 hours. Yeah. Yeah, well, that's why they call it over on Instagram. They took the app from us, but that's all the 10 times, right? If you swipe left, you swipe left again, there's content happening there. There is content happening there that is engaging young people at seven times the rate of television.

Right. Is that going to be balls, though? Do I think it's going to be balls? A lot of it's balls. I mean, I come from HBO, okay, you know, we're kind of the home of balls on prestige television. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was the guy that said, we need more balls.

Yeah, because there was a lot of breasts when I was there. There was a lot of breasts. And I said, too many breasts, that sucks us. We need more balls. He said, let's see some dong. Let's see some hanging don't. And I said that. And I know there was a lot of people higher up that they were like straight guys.

And I was like, dude, so am I more or less, you know. But I want to see more balls and dongs for, because I think the the women, they want to see balls and dons, the gay guys they want to see balls and dons. Even the straight guys are going to be okay with balls and dons so long as they're still getting their serving of breasts. As long as it's

preceded with a serving of breasts. You understand what I'm saying here? I was a guy that brought balls. But tell us about you. Tell us about you. What do you got for us? What do you got for us? We want content and we love you. You just did the Netflix show. We want to bring.

HBO quality balls balls to Snapchat we're not going to lose the balls you want to keep the balls we probably read that deadline article that said we're going to lose the balls we are not going to lose the balls have you seen girls balls have you seen girls

no imagine girls balls but on Snapchat that quality of balls tell me when you look at a flaccid penis what ways are going is it up and down right

it's a vertical vertical janetalia is vertical and hey bro maybe maybe hanging a little to the left

a little bit to the left then I would say like breasts are horizontal sure one breast though

shoot is easier yeah yeah so what we're saying here is we think that vertical content

is the perfect place for premium balls we're not losing the balls we're upscaling the balls and we're

we've got a content We're in touch with the youth of the world. What we learned watching HBO shows is to get a full dong and balls. They need to be lying horizontal. And it's an international world, right? You got to have balls from all over the world. What am I supposed to do?

Remount my TV to be horizontal. It's true. So you guys are crazy. I saw you at Largo? Yes. I'm from a comedy group called Auntie Domino. No, I saw you at Largo 18, 20. And I said, I got to have, I got to see these guys' balls.

I got to see those balls. I got to see those guys' balls. Tell us about your balls. I got two balls that hang below my penis. Below your penis, that's all. That's nice. That's a loose ball. You don't see that every day.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is story. I have baby balls. And he has a wolf nut. So what is your perspective on your balls? What is your story? Tell us. We want to hear your story.

Isn't that the thing, really? Tell us your. That's what we want Snapchat to become. We're thinking to changing the name to your story. Your story. Your story. You understand? So I love your Netflix show.

The way you did that drum thing. Everything's a drum made us laugh. Everything is a drum. That is so funny. So funny the way everything was a drum. You know, I imagine they go about their lives singing, oh, everything is a drum. We watch the whole show, but everything is a drum. We laughed

And didn't I This was before the meeting I said you got to I saw these guys at Largo Years ago I went with my friend Do you know Well no maybe not

I went there And I said I got Because I was a fan of you Since the Midwest When I grew up in the Midwest I'm not like these people It's true Okay I grew up in the Midwest

You grew up in the Midwest Yeah Okay So Oh here's the coffees Thank you Tina Thank you You just pop them on

You just check You just put them on the table Tina Thank you Thank you Tina's great Did you talk to Tina? Yeah She's great

She's got a future here, I think. Yeah. She's really good. Yeah. She's really good. So we started doing sketch comedy in Melbourne in Australia. Oh, cute. And we found our audience online.

Okay. Cute. About 400,000 subscribers on YouTube. Sure, sure. Nice. Okay, that's nice. That's nice. That's nice.

I mean, we're not really looking for much more than that. No. That's a good number. That's a good base in our opinion. Yeah. So we could do more of our series. We could do more sketch shows. Shows for...

Yeah, you do sketch? You're a star. You do a star. You do more songs, yeah? Everything's a drum. Oh, yeah, yeah. Do you do a sketch as well? Yeah.

Wow. That we did predominantly sketch, yeah. I love everything's a drum. I love that. I love that drum. Okay. Would like a show, please. So tell us your ideas.

You're going to get one. You got any show? Really? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We got money, Burma. Good feelings about this. There was like some Saudi Prince here yesterday.

and I saw him and I was like fuck we got a lot of money and it's true he's given so much money man can I ask you a question about Snapchat sure sure I mean and bear in mind we're creative we're not the tech guys so if it's about your zeros

and your ones we're gonna have to maybe get someone else in here it's like magic to me I got Snapchat when I first downloaded it when I first got the job or when I was first talking to them I downloaded it. It's true. And I remember saying, I said, where's my picture?

Someone had to explain to me. No, that's the point. It goes away. I said, but I screenshotsed it. I screenshot it. They said, you can't screenshot. I said, thank God. I said, where's the picture?

Where's the picture? I remember. Oh, God. I'm going to be. I'm going to be honest. Yeah. Auntie Donna had a Snapchat in like 2016. Okay.

And I think we stopped using it. I don't even know the logins anymore. Yeah, no, no, no. I thought you had gone defunct because I know there was series coming out, like, there was a spooky series and a... Oh, sure. Snapchat original series came out in, like, 2019. There's always a market for balls.

Yeah. So we're still... But you just said you want to move away from balls. We're not... More than balls. Okay, so... You'll never move away from balls. We're more than balls.

It's your story. Your balls. We're also vagina. Breasts. We're also bottoms, feet, if that's your thing. Oh, we'll do feet. But we're more than even that. We also want to tell your story.

We also want to do your story. Tell us your idea. Tell us your idea. I just sort of sketches, I guess. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We want to make premiere television. Tell us your ideas. I heard you got some ideas.

I was talking to your people. What's your ideas? Well, what about all of Auntie Donna? We love it already. I love it already. And we're in a fire. station. Yes, I love it.

And sketches come from it. With a pole? Yeah, yeah. Would there be a pole? A vertical pole? Yeah. Oh, I love that. I love that vertical.

You could get the whole pole. You wouldn't have to turn your TV horizontal. And so we run a fire station. Vertical, I mean. We're firemen and we and maybe sketch. Oh, that's so good. Nice.

We're not really looking for anything firemen related. No, we're not. There's not really a market right now, but what I love is the work element. I think the work element is. really excited. Are they friends? Are they hanging out? Yeah.

Did they work together? What's their perspective? You know, what, what's their, because that's really what we're talking about now. Yeah. Is we're looking for perspective. One of their balls, like. What's their perspective on balls?

What's their perspective on balls? I think the three of our perspective on balls as we have them. Okay, sure, yeah. Describe each of the members' balls. Sure. Well, my left one. How many people are in the, oh, sorry. No, no, no.

No, no. Please. You got how many guys working at this fireplace? Three. Oh, nice. Three. Okay. Is there room for more? Yeah.

Because we're loving the bro stuff at the moment. Yeah. You know, we love all the bro stuff. We were doing other stuff for a while, but, like, I think people love, you know, bros hanging out. You can't be afraid of masculinity. Yeah, they're shooting the shit. I think you say in your country.

Shit, shit. Bro's shooting the shit. And bros of different. Intergenerational bro. Yeah. Okay? And that's something we're noticing a lot of. You know, I hang out with my uncles.

Yeah, it's hot. I hang out with my dad's friends. I hang out with little boys. You know, I hang out with all generations of bros. Brogeration. It's hot right now. All you guys are around the same age, yeah? You're like 50?

No, I'm 30. I'm 33. Oh, wow. You look great for your age. You look fantastic. You just said I was 50. Well, you know, it's a little different down in Australia. You look L.A. 50.

You look beautiful. L.A. 50 means you're not pumped up full of everything. I'm from the Midwest. I came here. I said everyone's so pumped up full of everything, you know? Yeah. I'm playing with you, though. That's so fun about this idea of like intergenerational.

Is it your dad? I love that. Yeah. That's actually what we're looking for. Who are you thinking for that? Who are you so? Famous person. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. How about this Patton Oswald? Yeah. Hadn Oswald. Okay. Remy. Remy from Rattahoo. You know who would be a great dad for him, Louis C.K.?

Oh, yeah. Well, he's not around anymore. Oh, no, he is. He's back. So who's going to play the lower generation? What are you thinking there? I don't know. You thinking little boys?

Yeah, Timothy Shalame. Oh, he's hot. Yeah, he's hot. He's funny, and he's funny. Yeah. You know, when he's doing, I saw him on the, on SNL, right? And he's funny. Oh, he's funny.

And I think that he would probably, you know, I don't know for sure. I don't know for sure. But I think he would want to do something fun. Yeah. You know, I think I see him on S&L and I think this is a guy he's doing all that serious stuff. Yeah, he's a real, you know, he's known to be a wallflower, you know, peaking and and spying on other people. Why not come off of that? Maybe that Israel, Israel guy.

Sure, yeah. Sure. Yeah, we can bring him back. Now tell me, what's the. What's the emotional perspective here? Yeah. So it's a bro-generational. I love this idea.

I love that. Intergenerational bros. But it's about sketches. Sure, sketches. And that's perfect. We want short form. Yeah. Sure.

But like over the course of the six episodes. Yeah. Over the course. Over the course of the six episodes. Over the course. course over the course of the six episodes yes what what what what what what's the journey and what's a perspective and how is that perspective of the rose going to change but can I just say one thing yeah I don't want to go to him to say this thing I'm liberal right we're all liberal here I don't want to

make assumptions here but you know the world is very divided right now yeah America is very divided now we want to see a perspective and we want you to take a stand and we want you to be clear on that stand but we don't want anything too divisive. Is that the word we're looking for? Yeah, we don't want to put people off. We want you to be sharp. We want you to say something.

We want to hear your perspective, okay? But just, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, so we're just a... I'm from the Midwest, you know. Our idea is three generations of men in a fire station. Sure, sure. Sketches, short form. Yeah, but we're kind of conservative without...

Well, no, no, because then you're going to look. I mean, and not losing, we're not thinking of this, it's a creative place, you're going to lose the coasts there. So we're not, we're a bit conservative, but we're quite liberal as well. Oh, great. Oh, okay, sure, both at the same time. That's great. Understands both perspectives. Yeah, and we've got our nuts out.

You got your nuts out. Oh, balls. You've got balls? But it's more than just balls, yeah? Yeah. You got your ass out as well. And yeah. What about vagina?

Yeah. Sure, great. Sure, sure. Because Snapchat is making good television, but also balls. We want to change the game, but we can't get rid of balls. Okay, tell me who's, so I'm thinking maybe the dad, the son, there's a bit of a thing going on there, yeah? Yeah. So a bit of tension.

Yeah. Maybe son doesn't want to be a firefighter. It's mostly a sketch show. Yeah, but what's the journey we're going on? Does he stay with the firefighting? What's the journey there? He wants to leave it. Does the boy become a man?

I feel like you're, do you have an idea you want to pitch to me? No, I mean, you're coming in with this great stuff. I'm just kind of, I'm echoing what you're kind of saying, the direction you're leading me down a path. No, no, I don't think so. No, no, I, we're really a wide open book here. We know we're more than balls. We know we're more than balls.

Yeah. We know we want to do content. We know a Saudi prince just gave our boss three and a half billion dollars. Yeah. So, I mean, really. we're an open book and you're coming in here with this idea of which we love intergenerational

bro drama set in a firefighting does it have to be firefighting? No. No. What sort of workplace other workplaces are you thinking? I'll just say some and you respond. Oh no I want to hear from you. I want to hear your perspective. A bank okay what else do you think? That's a cop shop okay that's interesting yeah sure what do you like about the cop shop

The intergenerational men Sure, yeah, but what else about the cop shop? The crime of it The crime, fine, okay, sure You're interested in crime? What else? The administrative part of the administration, okay Pencil pushers Pencil pushers

Do you like that? Oh, that's funny Yeah, that's funny Like the office? I think it's turned for the office to come back Yeah We could do it, ours is set in an office Oh, in an office

Oh, okay So bros, intergenerational bros Intergenerational, bro-durational office, a boy becoming a man. Why are the Aussies there? Why are the Aussies there? They fish out of water. Oh, well, that's been done quite a lot. We've seen that.

It's been done quite a lot. Maybe they're just Americans. I'm perfectly okay. No. It's an inter-I'm perfectly okay. I see an Aussie accent now. I just watched, oh, did you see the one with the one take about the boys? Adolescence.

Intergenerational bros. Yeah. And it's where the bro goes wrong. It's very scary. Yeah. And I got to say, terrifying. As a father? Oh, my God, terrifying.

I'm not a father, and I'm not a son. I'm not a father. I know fathers. I came out of the Midwest. Yeah. Just sort of, I would, I just formed. Yeah, you just grew. He grew out of the Midwest.

I grew out of a cornfield. I grew out of a cornfield. I was like, they thought they were picking corn. In the Midwest, though, yeah? Yeah, in the Midwest. I have 17 fathers, no mother. No mother, 17. So.

adolescence freaked the hell out of those 17 men. Those 17 men all called at the same time. We had to get on a Google meet. One take, you see that? Are you making fun of me? Is this... Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I love you. I love this idea of the office drama,

the intergenerational stuff. I think you're absolutely right. We don't need to explain the Australian accents. We're just in an intergenerational, international world. We've got to get some New Zealanders in there. And what we're going to do, what we're going to do is I want to know, okay, who is Broden? Are you playing Broden?

Yeah, like more comedy. You know, I was like, this guy's got muscles, maybe sketch route, maybe an emergency worker. But the fact that he was pitching an office drama where you got my hat.

Oh, hey, Roden. Hey, Broden, how are you? Good. Excited for that chat. I hear you love, I hear you love food. You love food? Were you saying before you love food? I got to make a recommendation for you.

You got to go down my... I have a soft, gray, sort of mushy brick. Yeah, you can't listen to him. He's on, like, a thing at the moment. Oh. You got to go, what sort of food you like? Jeez. Okay, you got to go down to...

You got to go down corner of Hollywood and La Begla. There's this beautiful place. It's a Mexican sort of place, right? But they do, like, salads. They do like, and you got, like, the... Protein. Yeah. You're going to think lemonade, sure.

I mean, I get it. That's a thing you buy from the, you know. But it's more like Sprite. It's crazy. It's run by Aussies. You'll love it. It'll be so much fun. I went there with Millie Bobby Brown.

That's so fun. Okay, see you later, Broden. So fun. So fun. such a star. Such a star. Shame he didn't come in with a sketch concept.

Not right for us. I wanted more comedy. And I just wish, you know, I wish he'd had a harder take. He was being a little wishy-washy with the liberal conservative thing. And his obsession with balls. Yeah.

When we're trying to move away from balls. Could have done with a few more balls. I would have liked to see more balls. I just, I'm seeing this concept, right? and there's all these men with balls, right? And I'm like, where am I going to see the balls? Where am I going to see the ball? There was not enough opportunity, opportunity for balls.

Later that night after the Auntie Donner show. Broden, hey. Thanks for coming. Oh, great to see you, Brodyn. Love the show. Love the show. Love the show. Crazy, you must be so tired. Yeah.

So much energy. I mean, I go down the equinox. I mean, I don't think I work up as much of a sweat as you. Yeah. You're working up a sweat up there. Yeah. You know who you remind me of? Who?
