Wesley took time out of his busy schedule at DragonCon to come do an interview with me. He agreed to all my antics and wanted to make sure the video turned out well. After the interview, he stuck around for an extra few minutes until I was sure I had everything I needed and that I didn't need to reshoot anything, which was very thoughtful. I ran into Wesley Chu again at New York Comic Con and he made a point to introduce me to some of his author friends to try to help me get interviews, which was unbelievably generous of him. I've said it in the description of other videos, but I want to reiterate that these are not scripted videos. The authors don't know what I'm going to ask, so all of their reactions are completely genuine. We only do one take of the interviews. Wesley nailed this interview, and I can't thank him enough for entertaining and participating the way he did.

Shout out to my friend Zach for helping me with some of the jokes in this one.
