<br><Br>[Dan Fiorella] so no ad hominem attacks on me
|
<br><Br>[RD_Blade] as a result no no but nobody's attacking you but as a result I didn't get any Dan Fiorella specific questions... but a metric crap ton of questions came in. Now as a bonus at the end of this episode you told me and Jay the story of how you became a writer on our favorite space western
|
<br><Br>[Dan Fiorella] Yes, yes.
|
<br><Br>[RD_Blade] So with that in mind and in the interest of keeping the podcast from being overly long I'll skip the questions that asked about that. Before we start the interview proper there's a the small matter of the bribe, I mean prize, that I offered listeners in in order to entice them into sending in questions.
|
<br><Br>[Dan Fiorella] Oh dear..wait WHAT?!
