No, their mom and dad's basement. It's actually really funny. Their mom is like Gladys Kravitz from Bewitched. She listens in on their phone calls (they're 35 and 33), she buys them clothes all the time, and she drives them everywhere (although Mike does have his permit to drive now).

A lot of 1st/2nd/3rd act stuff is mainly obvious by watching a film or reading the screenplay with your writer's hat on.
Do you actually wear a hat Tim? I'm getting an image of a pink trilby. That probably says more about me than you.
I got the idea of wearing a writer's hat from Marc P.
