List of Transcripts

Part I
MARISHA: Hello!

MATT: Hi, everyone!

MARISHA: I think we're live.

MATT: I think so.

MARISHA: At least, I truly, truly hope we are live.

MATT: I guess we'll find out.

MARISHA: If this is not working--

MATT: Find out shortly.

MARISHA: Someone slack me.

MATT: Hey, everybody. We missed you. We miss you still.

MARISHA: Yeah.

MATT: It's been a very weird couple weeks for a lot of people. As the anxiety is universally felt we thought we'd take an evening moment to kind of just step away from everything and hang out and talk for a bit with an actual fire which we--

MARISHA: Yeah.

MATT: We've been struggling with the flue of it up until pretty much this broadcast but we got it so...

MARISHA: Yeah. Normally our fireside chats don't have real fire because of studio codes but--

MATT: But at home!

MARISHA: Silver lining -- at home we get the use of a real fire.

MATT: We can do what we want.

MARISHA: Yeah.

MATT: But anyway, hope everyone's staying healthy and safe. We're going a little stir-crazy. A lot of video conference meetings and a lot of just keeping on top of stuff from home and whenever things come back on, we're going to be back on schedule. In the meantime, we're coming up with creative ideas and the interim to kick off then, or stuff like this to pop in and say hi for a Wednesday.

MARISHA: Yeah. Attempting to. I think trying to figure out if we could do this was kind of our first hurdle and I'm sure it'll have many hurdles throughout the night and I really hope our chimney doesn't catch on fire.

MATT: I don't think it'll--

MARISHA: Yeah.

MATT: --catch on fire. I mentioned flue earlier. I should specify, I meant like the fireplace.

MARISHA: The flue. Yeah. I think they got it.

MATT: I hope so. Anyway.

MARISHA: We don't use this fireplace very often because it's Los Angeles.

MATT: It's true. So we took an opportunity to do that. Anyway, it's good to see you guys. I didn't realize until today that our good friend Brennan is also streaming his fireside chat at the same time, completely unintentional, but giving a shout-out and love to Brennan and the Dementia 20 folks. I guess probably hopping back and forth from there for some of you folks, so send our love over there if you're heading back. But here today, we're gonna talk about this thing. Some unique timing for the book's launch, but my hope is that at least it's provided some people with some much-needed escapism and inspiration in this time. It's been something that I've been working hard on for a while with a lot of really good folks, and it's just weird to hold it physically, in--

MARISHA: It's so beautiful though. I love it.

MATT: --my hands now. I'm really, really proud of it. Out of all the work we put into it. I'm proud of everybody who worked on it.

MARISHA: It's gorgeous.

MATT: And to toss out here-- somehow it got missed in the special thanks to the book, too, Mark Hulmes is supposed to be in there as well. It's-- all the second campaign guests are supposed to be in there. Somehow in press he got left out there. But he is there in spirit and he is a dear friend. But nevertheless! For some of you, hopefully--
