We also discuss why the \"one in the glasses\" is a genius, the specific humiliation of pitching jokes in the Fred voice, and why the most important skill for a professional writer is the ability to produce absolute garbage on purpose.Plus: Soren defends his hollow bird-bones, Daniel avoids an NDA, and we try to figure out why no one in a book can name a fictional band that doesn't sound like a hate crime.
