HEY, DID I MISS ANYTHING?

Kids:
A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know. Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because they once created a show and cast my good friend Jeff Davis on it, so how bad can they...

I could listen to Dan go off on tangents for hours
Dan: For better or for worse my work ethic is absolutely tied to the same part of my brain that generates adrenaline and love and like, when I'm in the edit bay and a cut's not working, um, whereas somebody else goes, um, "eh look you know what try that a different way," I just tend to go like "ahugh," and I try to control it 'cause I have to work with other people and this show is a bit, you know
Marc: You try to control the control freak
Dan: I try to control the emotional quotient, my emotional investment in what I do because I'm operating in a medium right now where that is very often a liability for everybody around you
Marc: In the sense that you can create a negative work place?
Dan: Yeah you're a crazy person, no one wants to work with you
Marc: Have you been that guy?
Dan: Yeah sure, I've yelled and like uh, you know it's uh, I get, when I f-..when I'm in the middle of, it's like you know when you're in the middle of taking a shit, when you're in the middle of peeing, when you're in the middle of cumming, giving birth, name any process where something's coming out of you
Marc: I've done three out of four of those
Dan: Um, the uh, people coming up to you and tapping you on the shoulder is, it freaks you out
Marc: Yeah because you gotta start over, you gotta get back to your flow, all the, yeah
Dan: Also something inside you in the base of your cortex is saying this is a saber-toothed tiger, it's trying to eat your eggs, like something feels, rapey about, um, someone questioning, like something that I'm in the process of completing. Uh you know when you're drawing in 6th grade, and you're trying to draw Inspector Gadget and somebody comes over your shoulder and says "Where is his hair? That's not Inspector Gadget yet I don't see his hair" and you haven't gotten to it yet, like I
Marc: Oh yeah, you just want to crumple it up
Dan: Well you just go like "I'M GETTING THERE" or "I'M DOING GARFIELD NOW," or like I don't know I just tend to like, inside, there's a little kid going "How fucking--get, away from my eggs." Um and so I'm 38 now. The good news is we get slower and older, so like, I think that maybe I finally, like I can....I can do these sort of secondary things, like my emotional reactions like I, I let them go, and the more I do that, the more I end up surrounded by people that are so good that they're starting to actually be, now it's more like, going into the third season I have worked with so many writers now that have made me realize that all of that was, like, it was probably not necessary
