CHUCK: Hey everybody and welcome to Episode 52 of the JavaScript Jabber Show. This week on our panel, we have Joe Eames.

JOE: Hey there.

CHUCK: We also have Merrick Christensen.

MERRICK: What up?

CHUCK: AJ O’Neal.

AJ: How do you decide the order each week?

CHUCK: I just make it up.

AJ: Okay. It’s only random.

CHUCK: And Jamison Dance.

JAMISON: Hey guys.

CHUCK: I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv and we have a special guess that’s Isaac. I know I’m going to destroy your last name. Let me see if I can say it… You say it.

ISAAC: Schlueter.

CHUCK: Schlueter!

ISAAC: Yeah.

AJ: That’s so much easier than I’d ever imagined.

[Laughter]

ISAAC: I wanted to hear Chuck keep going on that.

JOE: Yeah, it’s pretty good.

CHUCK: It has extra constantans in it, it throws me off. And then extra vowels.

MERRICK: I heard him just crying, “Shu…shu…” [Laughs]

ISSAC: I have relatives that can’t say it right and it’s their name so…

[Laughter]

CHUCK: Alright. Well, do you want to introduce yourself real quickly since you haven’t been on the show?

ISAAC: Sure. I am the author of NPM and I’ve been maintaining Node for the last — Jesus! It’s been almost a year and a half now, a year or so.

CHUCK: So just a couple small projects that nobody’s heard of, right?

[Laughter]

ISAAC: Yeah, a handful of little things on GitHub.

CHUCK: Is there anything else we have to know about you?

ISAAC: I enjoy changing my Twitter avatar to things that are funny or disturbing or preferably both.

[Laughter]

ISAAC: And, I don’t know.

CHUCK: Alright. Well, we really appreciate you coming on the show.

AJ: That is pretty disturbing dude. You’ve got your face on a really overweight cat.
