00:00Cameo? Cameo season two?
00:02Yes!
00:03It's confirmed.
00:04It's confirmed. You're hearing it now.
00:05He'll be a mule because no one will suspect this sweet boy
00:08of carrying cocaine up his bum.
00:11Are you going to be like the cocaine intern?
00:13Yes, yeah, yeah.
00:14He's a mule? You made him into a drunk mule?
00:16I'll take anything, man.
00:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19Hey, hey.
00:20There's so many sound bites in here that could destroy our careers.
00:24You're 18, right?
00:25You're 18, right?
00:26Oh, God, this is bad.
00:28We're using it all.
00:29Let's take this back from the top.
00:30Let's take it.
00:31No, no, no. We can stay.
00:32Can we confirm season two?
00:35Say what again?
00:36Can we confirm a season two?
00:38We can.
00:39I would love anything.
00:40I would love nothing more.
00:41I was like, what the heck are you guys doing here?
00:43Season two, right?
00:44I think I'm going to confirm it.
00:46And we're very excited about the possibility of doing it.
00:49Nothing more we would love in this world than to do another season
00:53and to go back to Chicago and shoot the show
00:55and, you know, make this amazing thing again.
00:58We're seeing Bob and Iger up there today.
01:00Bob and Dana.
01:01Bob and Iger.
01:02Bob and Iger.
01:03Both of them, like, Sigfield and Roy?
01:04You think they're two people?
01:05They have split into two personalities.
01:07We've got to take this back from the time.
01:08We've got to take this back from the time.
01:10We're using none of this.
01:13Bob and Iger, that was the most Desi thing you could possibly send.
01:16Michael and Iger.
01:17Bob, Iger.
01:18Bob, Iger.
01:19Bob, Iger.
01:20Bob, Iger.
01:21Iger, Iger.
01:22Iger, Iger.
01:23Iger, Iger, Iger.
01:24Listen, listen.
01:25We're going to bring it on home.
01:26We're going to bring it on home.
01:27I don't even know how to segue into this very...
01:29We're very excited about the possibility of doing season two
01:31because, you know, what the world that we set up on the show
01:34and Abdullah's set up on the show, we're so excited.
01:38We feel like we just hit the tip of the iceberg at the end of season one
01:41and we're just so pumped about the possibilities where we could go
01:44internationally, we could go to London, we could go to Europe,
01:46we could go to South America, we could, you know,
01:48and also all the stuff that's still happening in the show set in Philly.
01:52So we're just so excited about getting that amazing crew back together
01:55and working with each other.
01:56And not only that, it is, hands down, the best set ever to work on.
02:00If we can get something completely unhinged with each of your characters,
02:05if we do get a season two, what do you want to see happen?
02:09Oof, this is a good question.
02:10Unhinged?
02:11Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
02:13Get out of here. Go ahead.
02:15Why don't you just take this away?
02:16I don't want to spoil it, but being the new cocaine intern.
02:19Yeah, why don't you tell us what you want our characters to do in season two.
02:23Did you see Deli Boys?
02:24I think there should be a lot more deaths this season.
02:26Okay.
02:27Okay, so more gore.
02:29More gore.
02:30More gore, I think so.
02:31More violence, more violence.
02:32I think it should be like a White Lotus thing where just...
02:34Someone dead and then we try to figure out backwards.
02:36Exactly.
02:37It's not a bad idea.
02:38Murder mystery?
02:39Which one's going to die?
02:40Wouldn't you like to know?
02:41Yeah, we can't spoil it.
02:42We can't spoil it.
02:43Yeah, we can.
02:44Have a spoiler from the person who just said yes to season two.
02:46I'm going to talk to Bob and Iger myself and make sure this happens.
02:49Oh, my God.
02:50Listen.
02:51Love you guys.
02:54Thank you so much.
