Story was a huge lesson. How to tell a story with a clear through line. The show runners (John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky) used to talk a lot about "drive." What drives a character from the beginning of the episode and making sure you write true to that drive.

If Hank wants to teach Bobby a lesson in act one, make sure that all of his actions for the rest of the episode are motivated by that drive to teach Bobby. It might be funny for Hank to wind up in jail, but was it justified in what his original drive was? Can you look at the end of the episode and say that all of your characters ended up where they were initially trying to get to? And if they didn't did you explore why not either as a writer or on the page in their character development?

That make sense? I'm typing faster than I'm used to.

Exactly. That's why most people usually fall asleep after about five minutes.

No bad blood, but feel free to listen to the podcast episode.
What sometimes gets lost in the story but was said in that episode is that while we had a disagreement, we had resolved it before I went on the podcast.
What I was talking about was something that he and I had already spoken about with one another. That moment was less about bad blood as it was about respect and expectations in the workplace.

Maybe if he were running to be a D&D game master. Given his ability to fear monger, he might create a pretty intense and dangerous campaign.

I said sandwich! I do not recognize a panini as a sandwich. Bread should be toasted but never pressed.
