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.

You can just stop there.

Also, I really like Ryan Gosling, and he's a good host. I just didn't think the writing was very good.

The writing hasn't been great. And surprise, surprise! Day and Moffet have been the dominant dudes in all three episodes. Doesn't that mean they're doing the majority of the writing? Doesn't that mean that they're terrible?

It could mean that Day and Moffet are getting more scripts to air, but not necessarily; they may just be especially versatile performers within the troupe.

Well we know that isn't true. We have categorical proof. So, it must be the thing I said.

I like when you're feisty in the morning.

Yeah, also well done. I feel like Bennett and Mooney have done very similar things in the past, though
