After far too long, the boys reunite with Chris LaMartina. Chris talks creating the universe behind “Out There Halloween Mega Tape” and a bunch of other stuff. Natural conversation. It’s great. I’m tired of being formulaic in the metadata. I’d rather be meta in the metadata. Which is what I’m doing now. Cool, right?
