My friends Tim Washer, Scott Teems, and I put together the three part video series to show the absurdity of working with others. Have you ever been in a discussion where the idea becomes more important than the goal? The conversation goes down a rat hole very quickly. **If you haven't seen parts one and two, you may want to check them out first.** [Riding the Rave #1: David's New Manager](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CXpOfwrjEM) [Riding the Rave #2: Brainstorming](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYfZ3yl42lM) [Direct link to part three here.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT7Kaq13wb8) Many thanks to the team who helped me with these videos. [Tim Washer](http://www.timwasher.com/), who plays my manager in the video, is all of the following: Host. Comedian. Writer. Presbyterian. Scott Teems is a filmmaker. His latest film [That Evening Sun](http://www.thateveningsun.com/), which he wrote and directed, stars Hal Holbrook and is winning awards at film festivals including South-by-Southwest where I attended the world premiere.
