“It's not sexy, it's not glamorous, it's not easy. It's the more I've done it, the harder it's gotten, you know, because you don't want to become a parody of yourself. You don't want to keep. You know, doing the same things, you get sort of disgusted by your own instincts. You know, I've written that joke, I've written that character, like, and then, you know, it's gotten a little bit better because my inner monologue is a little bit nicer to me these days. I worked on detaching from my negative, beating myself up. But writing is, um... Writing's nasty, you know, and you know, I've also gotten better as I've learned about neurology in terms of like not trying to multitask, not, you know, my internet's cut off when I write. I don't have my phone near me. I don't try to edit and write simultaneously.”

It's just really ridiculous.”

So I think, you know, I had this doctor say to me, you know, he's like, you're killing yourself, you know, like you really need to figure out a way to be healthier.

“that it was really paralyzing and really unproductive and slowed down the writing process, confused employees. I remember in the room, you know, people would pitch jokes and I would just say yes to all of them because I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. And then I have to go later and change it. And then all of a sudden the script comes out and their jokes aren't there and they feel betrayed and lied to.”

And so I think that when I realized that I couldn't fire someone, I mean, I literally would get a pit in my stomach when I had to tell someone that I, you know, didn't like the script or didn't like their joke. I realized I was like, I can't believe how hard it is for me to feel like I'm disappointing someone or just to tell the truth, quite frankly. I was so apologetic and afraid of people not liking me.”

“That asking for help, I realized how hard it was for me. So there's no point in having a great script or being a great writer or actor if you can't let people help you. So I think a lot of, I realized, because again, Being like you and I, just in terms of impatience and all that, like. It works really well up into a certain point.

“By the way, in the workaholism, and you know more about this than anyone, a lot of it was busyness. It wasn't actual work. I was taking on a lot of tasks that I had no business doing just because I had been so sort of, I think one of the most important things you can do as an artist or in any field, I can really only speak to comedians, actors, writers, performers, is to get a handle on your issues.”

“Yeah, self-reflexive. Yeah. And then all of a sudden I'm just in like, it's just so meta. And I'm sitting there and I remember being in the writer's room in the second season of a... TV show about sort of relationships, and someone's like, Oh, what if they go to a baby shower? And I'm like, no one goes to baby showers and everyone in the room was like, you don't. But most people do on a Sunday go to a baby shower and I was like, oh my God, I was just so myopic. And I was so, I hadn't had a conversation, you know, this is going to come off bad, but I'm just going to be honest. I hadn't had a conversation with someone that I didn't pay. In months”

“If I am not as dark and in pain all the time, and it was actually the opposite because I waste so much time trying to manage, you know, unhealthy relationships and the, you know, having low self-esteem and my perfectionism, which can be really paralyzing. Perfectionism leads to procrastination, which leads to paralysis. So I could go a couple days without getting any writing done because my self-esteem was too low. I didn't think I was good enough. And just these old sort of obsolete messages and survival instincts. I think that it has given me so much more mental energy, physical energy. I have much more balance in my life now, and I'm much more productive and much more vulnerable, which as a writer, you have to be vulnerable. I think before I was so overworked, I was such a chronic workaholic that I didn't have a life.”

“Great question. I think the short answer is no. One of my biggest fears when I went into a recovery program and intensive therapy, like not talk therapy, like trauma therapy, which is actually kind of the opposite of talk therapy because talk therapy largely, I'm not disapproving of therapy, but for me personally, mine has more of a neurological perspective, which is when you have some kind of trauma and you talk about it, you just re-embed the trauma and it actually makes it worse. So I do like, I can't talk about a certain topic for 28 days. I have to replace a negative thought with a positive thought for 28 days. I mean, it's like a pretty hard work. I get really worried. I was like, you know, talking to my. Therapist and a bunch of people in my program. I was like, I'm just really afraid that I'm not going to be as funny”

“And whatever was going on in my household. So you get a bunch of really fragile people who have all these defense mechanisms in one room to constantly show up every day to be rejected because you're in a writer's room. All you're doing is pitching. And the boss is saying, no, no, no, no, no, no. And you're just hearing no all day. You're not good enough. You're not funny enough, which is what we all translate to. So a bunch of really fragile, sensitive people in one room and who may or may not have done the kind of recovery that I've committed to or therapy. We always assume everyone works as hard on ourselves as we do. They don't, you know?”

“And another thing that was super helpful, because at least in my field, I don't know the case for years, I can't speak to it, but a lot of people who are in a performance-based field, whether it's writing, acting, as this is a huge generalization, but you can sometimes assume they didn't get a ton of attention as a child or need more attention than most. They have a compulsion to be need to be seen and heard and appreciated. And humor is usually developed as a shield slash defense mechanism. So what were they defending against? We don't know, but it was something. Everyone had a thing they had to defend against child. My last name is Cummings. That was probably what I was managing as a child.”

“And something that is a battle for them might be super easy for you. Right. You know, and that's, I think my dad said something really who is not known for excellent advice, but he said something to me. Once that was super helpful because I was having a lot of trouble in relationships where I felt like I wasn't getting my needs met. And he was like, you just have to understand how strong you come off. Like, people don't think you need anything. So that's why people don't help you. And it was this interesting thing where I was like, oh, I mean, I have a lot of weaknesses and I'm bad at a lot of things. But when I'm good at something, which maybe you can relate to, I'm really good at it.”

“Constantly just working on Project Series. I know, exactly. Like, is he wearing flip-flops to work? I mean, it was just like, just a way to not focus on myself. And I think ultimately sometimes when we judge other people, it's just a way to not look at ourselves as a way to feel superior or sanctimonious or whatever. So my trauma therapist said, like, every time you meet someone, just in your head, say, I love you. Before you have a conversation with them, and that conversation is going to go a lot better.”

“Every hour of my life. Okay, so I might have a pamphlet for you. But I found myself just being, and I think that's one of the reasons I gravitated gravitated towards being a writer and a comedian is I get to do it all on my own. You know, I write the material, I perform it, I critique it, I rewrite it, I tour, I do everything on my own because when other people get involved, I just, you know, it's inefficient and I don't like the way you're doing things.

“That's interesting. It was kind of my, and it wasn't necessarily a trigger for me. I think it was more like a symbol for me of sort of a time. I think this sounds kind of corny, but like it was open when I was a kid and I would sort of like, you know, not in like a masochistic way, but I would sort of like prick myself with it when things would get. It was just like a tick kind of, like how someone bites their nails or something. And so I sort of closed it. So the tattoo is a closed safety pin that's sort of like, you're safe, it's over. Because a lot of times if you have any kind of trauma as a kid, you become an adult and you constantly are recreating your childhood circumstances and having these completely obsolete and appropriate feelings to present situations.”

So, you know, Tim's shirt is, you know, camouflage and how he feels, how he looks, how this house feels, trampoline outside. That's a longer story listeners. There's a trampoline that all I want to do is leave this podcast and go jump on it. And then when we get traumatized, our brain freezes, but the information keeps coming in. So if right now someone came in and held up a gun to our heads, the information would still come in, white walls, wooden Apple computer, this cactus, and then it would be filed into the folder of trauma. So later in five years, I'm sitting at dinner and all of a sudden there's a cactus and I'm anxious and stressed out and I don't know why exactly and I'm triggered. So it's like reprogramming some of those triggers into a folder that is more benign.”

And my parents would argue a lot when I was a kid. And I used to play with, we didn't have a lot of money. I was poor. Safety pins were my toys. I just remember playing with safety pins and I remember open them and closing them. And I just remember that was just, I did EMDR, which is like a trauma thing.”
