When it comes to trash talk, I read my opponents most recent work and just formulate ideas. When it comes time to talk shit I tend to just riff. It's always been easy for me, I think it's a naturally ingrained ability as a New Yorker. I use a bunch of metaphors for punchlines and generally try to use as many different names as I can while still maintaining focus on my opponent.

When it comes to writing stories, it depends. I've had runs where I focus on serious writing and in that case, I usually have weeks, if not months, of material planned. The stories last for multiple roleplays. When I'm writing comedy, it's more episodic in nature and I usually just think of a funny idea and roll with it. Sometimes I'll do research on a specific location and incorporate it into the writing to provide authenticity. I always try to stay current with news stories so my ideas seem fresh. That's where the whole #JusticeForAidan thing comes from, I thought it was hilarious to draw parallels between Ferguson and Trayvon Martin with the way my first match turned out.
