Playboy asked me to write an essay on the topic of “My Pleasure” for their Fall 2019 issue. I wrote about how life is pain, pleasure sucks, and what we should all pursue instead.

A few months back I was a guest on Dan Harmon’s podcast, Harmontown. Not only am I a fan of the podcast and of Dan’s shows Community and Rick & Morty; Dan’s approach to comedy and story was a huge influence on me as a young writer, so it was really something to appear on the show with him to discuss Adam Ruins Everything as well as – let’s say, deeper subjects. It was a really special night; take a listen.
