New format we're trying! Stick around for a conversation with Melkey at the end of the preamble with Adam and Dax who chat about meeting humans for coffee (in a totally normal, human way), Adam's Threads experience compared with Dax's, wondering if we're socially anxious, and who should interview Liz?
Then Melkey stops by to chat about life working at Twitch, his dog, when people should have kids, and whether real life friends know what any of them do.
