Oh, man! You have the best lineup of interviews on TH-cam :-) Thorn Mooney, Deborah Lipp, and now Christopher Penczak. Thank you very much for sharing that conversation.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes and between episodes...
Me: (excitedly texting my wife) They said yes!
I'm always a little surprised, but feel very blessed... that all of these people have come and talked to me (and hopefully had a little fun in the process).
