Is there like a massive text chain?MATT:Theres been a lot of texting.
I heard from Caleb [McLaughlin, who plays Lucas].
I heard from Millie.
Ive heard from David.
I guess we could do a massive chain.ROSS:But anytime were on a massive chain though its terrifying.
Its like a tsunami of texts.
I dont understand how they do it.MATT:It is dangerous to get involved in that.
We wont get any work done.
We are trying to finish season two.
Does this increase the pressure for season 2?
Or are you more excited?MATT:I feel like weve hit maximum pressure.
