There probably won't be any more GVP because Justin is a sell out now.

Thanks! Working with friends is a real double edged sword. However, when you're going into battle, do you really only want a single edged sword? No, because if you swung it at somebody and hit them with the wrong edge, it would just bounce off. On Rick & Morty, it's almost all friends and a lot of them I've worked with on different shows and things for almost ten years, so we all get each other's sensibilities. That makes the show come together creatively pretty easily, but not without the occasional fight or hurt feeling (mostly mine, I'm sensitive), which is that other edge.

Fuck man, I've been working on this answer for like two hours because there isn't any work being done while Dan and Justin are in the corner doing this AMA. Plus, I'm WAY over thinking my response to your question and now the rest of the writers are giving me shit because of all the time I'm taking on it and I feel very self conscious and silly (like what they're doing while we're NOT WORKING is so much less lame.) But I can't quit writing it or delete it, because that would be a complete waste of the last two hours and a sign of weakness. Also, I'm stressed out because I'm supposed to respond to a question about what it's like working with Dan and Justin in THEIR AMA and I want to be honest, but also diplomatic and I'm imagining them reading what I write about what it's like working with them and having them get upset at worst or making fun of me at best. So I'm struggling to craft the perfect response up until this very paragraph which is about as honest as I'm gonna get. So why don't you just consider this your answer! THIS is what it's like writing for Rick and Morty, OKAY!!!!

Community was basically the same with longer hours.

It's really an honor to be an employee of Justin's.

That was directed by an old friend of ours from Channel 101 named Danny Jelinek. Small world! Yummy Nummy!!
