Fill Me In #199: Facts can be pejorative, it turns out. (Or, two pieces of naan with something spread in the middle.) Jun 18, 2019

Show notes

Ryan is hanging out with Weird Al Yankovic this week, so Fill Me In is graced with the brilliant wit and charm of guest host Jeff Talbott, Not The Dentist and Compleatist.

But here's the thing. We don't do tech very well. And Jeff's side of the recording got a little janky at times, and two things happened. One, we had to filter his voice so he sounds slightly non-human. And two, there is sometimes a bonus echo of Brian (often out of sync). And unannounced thing number three, Brian is out of town and trying to mix this on his ancient laptop, so -- you know what, you already downloaded the episode, so our stats still look good.

Visit Jeff at his website or on social media (Facebook | Twitter)
