I have been on a lot of shows over the years.
This was the first opportunity to [launch] something that I created.
It was my first show for a streamer.

The pluses were control and freedom.
But I was definitely worried about budgets and staffing issues.
I just figured it would work itself out.
It was eight episodes.
Like, if I have to do everything, Ill do everything.
If I have to call friends, Ill call friends.
But there also was no room to have …
I mean,maybeI could have hired one writer full-time, you know?
Sometimes there are too many chefs, but my God, you needsomechefs.
Thats basically what I had to do.
I dont want to sound jaded.
Script payments are something, you know, people would die for.
I couldnt offer that to them!
Some of my friends just passed because of it.
Or their agent said, oh no, dont do that.
And I completely understood.
I felt like an ass.
I was kind of embarrassed asking.
There was a mini-room for punch-ups.
It was almost like a movie punch-up day.
But its just not fair to the writing community.
I learned a lot because I had to do so much more.
With this, I really felt like I was letting down fellow writers.
I am normally an optimistic person.
I just dont see how it will change.
Ive got to make a living, too.
