Great interview with Dice. As usual, Steve made me interested in someone I really don't care about.
I had to laugh when Dice mentioned the movie "Casual Sex." When you're a (relative) kid, living at home, with raging hormones and in the age before the Internet, a movie with that title gets your attention. To this day, it's one of just 2 movies I've paid for and walked out of. What a piece of shit!
I love the contrast of Steve's sophisticated, disarming style and a blowhard like ADC. Good times. In closing... Great interview. Thanks for doing what you do.
hey El! thanks so much! I assume you're the El who's been in the chat the last few weeks? Great to hear from you!
Yeah, I've popped into the chat the past couple of weeks. I'm also "CloudSpeaker" on your favorite place online... Twitter.
