MP: I turn 27 in a month. When I’m 40, everything that I did right now, I’ll be like, “What were you talking about?  You didn’t know what the fuck you were doing.” That’s okay. That’s liberating to me. I can only get my own sense in this moment of what’s ready for the world. Tie a bow on it. Just get it out there. Finish it and do another one. That’s the biggest lesson that we’ve learned.

 

CD: The last question of every interview in Wag’s Revue is this: A wag is a kind of wit, a droll, merry jokester. Who is your favorite wag from history or literature and why?

 

CH: A droll, merry jokester? Oh, god. The first person I thought of is Tycho Brahe, the astronomer. He lost his nose in a duel, so he got a new one made out of solid gold, and he had a bunch of crazy pets. He had a pet bear, a pet fox, and a pet little person. This was before political correctness and the abolishment of indentured servitude. He was a maniac, but he was also a genius astronomer who gave all of his measurements to Johannes Kepler, who discovered the planetary laws of motion. So, he was one of these guys where it’s like, his reputation is right there alongside what his contribution to the field was. That’s my first go around. Do you have a wag that you like?
