Anonymous asked: what really amazes me is that you have a character inspired by a psychologically tormented ex-spy and a goose, and somehow both those inspirations make perfect sense
*finger guns at anon remembering The Prisoner influences* honestly I don’t know how it happened but I’m glad u get me
Here’s a vid of Dan giving advice for those going through hard times at the Portland show!
Transcription
DAN: I will say, um, seems super- three things. One: keep fucking going. Keep- [audience cheers] as dumb as it sounds, keep breathing. ‘Cuz like, a lot of times when you get into that like mode in your head where you’re like panicking and freaked out, you’re not breathing. So like take a second, step back and be like- [Dan breathes in deep and lets it out on a long ‘aaaahh’] and then you’re like, ‘Oooh. That’s like fucking way better now.’
[he and the audience laugh] Two- look for love, and if there are toxic people in your life, kick ‘em to the fucking curb [audience cheers].
ARIN: And when- when we say ‘love’, we’re not talking about like relationship stuff-
DAN: Romantic love. That comes and goes.
ARIN: -like all love. We’re talking about friends, family, anything.
DAN: You guys! [audience cheers] Totally. Totally. This- I mean- ‘cuz that’s the kinda thing like, there’s not- alright there’s this Elvis quote that I super love. And, uh, [audience shouts some things] -yeah- not Yellvis. [audience laughs]
Alright, the quote goes, ‘In order to be happy you need three things: someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to.’ And you can’t always have all three, like, life just doesn’t work like that. But strive to get two out of those three things and then you’re pretty good. That’s it. [audience cheers]
