I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Release Dave Foley from this buttoned up character! If he doesn’t get to cut loose at some point I’m gonna be pissed

I think there's a chance.... just a chance that Foley is in over his head here. And that's not a slight to Foley, whom I adore. But I feel like he just doesn't quite get it. Which is fine. It's a hard note to sing.

See I don’t think he’s over his head…I think they’re asking him to play it straight and it’s hard for him to do because his face just carries like 30 years of laugh. And he’s wearing a goddamn eyepatch. I want him to lean into his comedic background just a little bit more.
