It me! I'm one of the Empire Records people! It was a formative one and is still a favorite. I guess it helps explain why I'm here? Haha (Also, buy Demonschool y'all! Hype!!!)

Go Demonschool, go! Best wishes to you and the team, Brandon. Looking forward to it! Also, Alex has been on a streak with these lightning rounds. Looking forward to the inevitable dentistry and teeth themed episode.
