Korvo (Justin Roiland) and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) only see the pollution, crass consumerism, and human frailty while Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Jesse (Mary Mack) love humans and all their TV, junk food and fun stuff. They are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome.

I remember through my tears and pain looking at my mother and saying, with spite, I like getting spanked! I don’t think you know how stubborn I was then but you do know how stern your Grandmother could be. When I was ten-years-old, my mom spanked me for the last time. I asked this gentle and caring man, what is the most common misconception people have about you? He said. I can’t reveal the secret he told me but another part of our conversation shocked me. He even started asking me some of the same questions too! The spirit in the car was supportive and generous, with some heartfelt laughs as we used questions as prompts for our once-in-a-lifetime conversation.Įven though we were unable to do any gliding because of wind conditions, I’ll never forget that day and the new appreciation I had for me father. He passed on some of the questions, but then really began to share a lot with me, including a secret. I told him how much it meant to me to go through these questions and get to know him better. On the two hour drive to the gliderport the next day, it was just my father and me in the car. Aim for a flowing conversation, not an interview.
