W HETHER YOUVE BEEN waiting months for this book to come out or you are at an - photo 3

W HETHER YOUVE BEEN waiting months for this book to come out, or you are at an airport wondering who these two extremely regular-looking guys are on the cover and why some idiot let them write a bookeither wayHi. Nice to meet you, kind of. We are genuinely excited for you to read our book.

Weve tried to offer a collection that is entertaining, funny, and (ideally) a bit useful. Something that youll remember once youre done with us. This book is filled with essays on all kinds of things. Some are specific to our film and television careers, some to our twentieth-century childhood and our twenty-first-century parenting experiences, and some relate to random pop culture that made an impression on us along the way. Most, however, are our attempts to make you laugh, cry, or emit that quiet mmmm sound under your breath when youve been gently enlightened. Essentially, we hope that when you finish this thing you will turn to us with glee (like our mom did) and exclaim, Theres something here for everyone!

Needless to say, wed like you to read the essays in Like Brothers from front to back, in the order we chose. But its also cool if you want to pick and choose stuff. Lets say youre an aspiring filmmaker or artist trying to figure out how two brothers from nowhere special with no special connections managed to build something from nothing. If thats you, you could read the Roman-numeral chapters and skip the rest. Youd miss a lot, but youd get the history of our journey and a bunch of our secret widgets as to how we carved a career inside this insane Hollywood system without anyone elses help. Or, if thats not you, you could skip the Roman numerals and read the rest of the book: essays on the wonderful/terrible nature of collaboration as well as a bunch of other random things that fell out of our brains.

Either way is fine. We just humbly ask that you read it. It will teach you some things. Because thats what books do.

Your friends,

Mark and Jay

D O NOT PUT Mark and Jay Duplass on your sitcom Ever I made that mistake Six - photo 4

D O NOT PUT Mark and Jay Duplass on your sitcom. Ever. I made that mistake. Six years ago, they guest-starred on my show, The Mindy Project. They were just supposed to come in, play funny midwife brothers, and leave. But within a day and and a half, the entire cast and crew liked them better than me. There was something about Mark and Jays Southern affability, their genuine interest in the people around them, their low-key stylish clothes, and their fascinating Hollywood stories that drew everyone to them. They even sang and played the guitar really well. How eyeroll-emoji-inducing is that? Suddenly everyone on my show had abandoned me to be around Mark and Jay and hear stories of how theyd made their wonderful films The Puffy Chair,Safety Not Guaranteed, Cyrus, Tangerine, and many more. Then everyone wanted to know what it was like to star in their own television shows, Transparent and Togetherness. It was all too much for a leading actress to hear, so now they are banned from set.

But somehow I still like to hang out with them. Just privately. Because theyre funny, theyre woke as hell, and they have a way of making you feel like the best version of yourself. Theyre artists, with that kind of tireless entrepreneurial spirit that inspires. When you hear them talking about their projects, suddenly youre excited about making a movie too! Maybe youll direct a film that you wrote! Maybe youll go to Sundance and have Ted Sarandos from Netflix throw obscene money at you for all your artistic endeavors! These two act, they write, they foster talent, they take chances on young artists, and they do it all while being married and raising kids. I guess white men can have it all. And Im glad this book exists to explain how. And to make you feel like I feel when Im hanging out with them.

In closing, Id just like to say this:

Wright. Ringling. Jonas. Im sure you could name a bunch of famous brother teams. Theyre all garbage compared to Mark and Jay. I cant wait for you to read this book. But please dont mention them if you ever run into me.

Love,

Mindy

T HE ROYAL WE is a tricky thing Its certainly helpful at times It allows us - photo 5

T HE ROYAL WE is a tricky thing. Its certainly helpful at times. It allows us to share that collective first-person-plural voice that makes us The Boys (a label thats stuck since childhood). The royal we perfectly sets up those inspiring twenty-to-thirty-word quotes in articles written about the beauty of our long-term film and TV collaboration. How we share the same brain. How one pronoun can encompass us both. Basically, we use it to talk about ourselves because it brings our voices together. Making us stronger.

But it also sucks sometimes. Because theres a distinct lack of I in that we. And the bizarre, undefinable edges that make us uniquely ourselves get rubbed out so that the we can come across more clearly. Is it reductive? Sometimes a little bit. Sometimes a lot. But its for the greater good, right? Because no one wants to listen to Lindsey Buckinghams solo record (sorry, Mr. Buckingham, as much as we love your technically proficient acoustic finger-picking, this is just a reality). People want to listen to Fleetwood Mac. That magical blend of disparate talents that creates the special soup you can eat all week, not just on Tuesday afternoon when youre hungover and feeling weird.
