convenience kills community and thoughts [w/ transcript]

I came across this fantastic interview of Brendan Lee Mulligan, who is one of my favourite creatives because of his talent in storytelling; he is an improv comedian that is also a gamemaster for Dimension 20, a Dungeons & Dragons live play show (hosted on Dropout, the successor of CollegeHumor). He's also one of my favourite cast members on the improv comedy show Make Some Noise for his insane monologues that have a dozen beats of worldbuilding in a dozen seconds.

Watch on YouTube

I loved the interview so much—I was listening to it over dinner and kept pausing to write notes. And afterwards I kept thinking, oh I want to share this part with this friend, or continue that conversation, or reflect on this quote, and so I just decided to prepare and post the full transcript (below) (might as well since the whole thing is gold).
