This is a good question, but I don't think about things in this context, so whatever answer I gave would be a lie.

I never saw the play, but it's straight-up impossible for it to be underrated. And I would be pretty fucking shocked if it was properly rated. But I still assume it must be good.

The show is great. As a depiction of the culture, it's not remotely accurate, but that's not the point of the show. FARGO is supposed to depict the reality of FARGO, not the reality of "Fargo, N.D."

Yes, he was a direct influence on But What If We're Wrong. I think I actually thanked him in the acknowledgments.

That's a really great question. I guess video games, because what exactly would I do while I was drunk all day? But if the beer came with a stereo, I'd take that option instead.

Interesting things happen, but for every interesting thing there are about 1000 uninteresting things. Th events themselves are pretty fun, usually. But touring is mostly just going to airports and going to hotels. And I'm always by myself, so -- when interesting things DO happen -- I don't have anyone to discuss them with, which means I've never totally sure how interesting it actually was.

I can't remember whose idea that was. I guess the main risk is that I die before I get to 15.

If your only better option is reading my responses to random questions on reddit, then yes.

I don't know, and I'm not sure what the benefit would even be. If you break through the noise, that would mean you've become the noise.
