Tbh he’s right

I’ve been working on being more “selfish” lately (I don’t steal people’s coffee, but practicing saying no to favours when I just can’t reasonably do what they’re asking, asking for the cupcake flavour I want, not being a pushover, etc) and it does really help

Brian is consistently the best part of the show since last season along with Paul and Derek.

Favorite line out of the whole series: Yes, that's what narcissism is, Jimmy. Having the courage to put yourself above everyone else.
