Will and Schaffer The Darklord have similar origin stories. Schaffer tells Will how Star Wars, George Carlin, The Beastie Boys and Rock shows were vital to broadening his horizons growing up in rural Iowa, how college became overwhelming, his days playing rums in Art Rock and Tribute bands in San Francisco. How stand up comedy was vital to his transition to Rap, how Nerdcore discovered him and what makes his collaborations with MC Lars work so well.
