Dragonfly Ripple 14 | Talking With Guests Rob & Delaney!

Michael and Rob didn't actually meet on Nerd Lunch. Instead, they met on the Dragonfly Ripple podcast, a show that Michael and Nerd Lunch's Carlin did with their kids, David and Annaliese. The concept was that Carlin and Michael would each introduce Annaliese and David to a new, nerdy thing to see how the kids liked it. 

It was usually just the four of them, but on Episode 14, Carlin invited Rob on with his daughter Delaney to talk about Star Trek, the Star Wars radio dramas, and Disney World. Then, in an extra special segment, the kids took over the show and kicked out the dads. And finally, everyone designed their own amusement park rides. 

Dragonfly Ripple also often included a segment called Jetpack Tiger in which Carlin and his youngest child Dashiell would chat. But for this special episode, Annaliese talked to Dashiell about Minecraft.
