Hey everybody, Dennis Prager here in my home. Hi, it's great to be with you. These are known as the Fireside Chats and I have them every week.

0:10.4

That's how important they are to me. Just want you to know. I hope obviously it's important to you or you wouldn't be watching, but I want you to know it's obviously important to me. This is Otto.

0:20.7

Our Bulldog, English Bulldog.

0:26.5

Otto is not stuffed. Some of you who don't watch regularly may never have seen him move and may really wonder, is it porcelain?

0:37.3

Is it stuffed fur? He's the real deal Otto.

0:42.3

But he's very calm. So he doesn't get excited much. He doesn't bark when the doorbell rings. We love the guy.

0:53.3

All right, great to be with you. So I always open up with some thoughts and then I take your questions. These are very valuable times. None of this is scripted.

1:04.3

I'm not reading from a teleprompter and we don't even have any makeup on my face, which may be obvious, but really this is a spontaneous as it gets.

1:19.3

By the way, are you the producer of the Sphere Sight Chat? Is that a fair statement? Megan does a magnificent, magnificent job. I just want to say that.

1:48.3

The theme, when I talked about wearing my jacket and tie, I don't wear a jacket and tie in the house. I wear it for this.

1:57.3

And I'm only saying it. I don't want you folks to think I walk around like this in my own house.

2:03.3

It's not completely up to me.

2:05.3

Who wrote it?

2:08.3

Anyway, I want you all to know because I actually saw it in the Prager U. brochure and I'm thinking that's a little idiosyncratic to wear a jacket and tie in your house.

2:19.3

I mean, I don't mind being a idiosyncratic. That's just not one of my idiosyncrasies. Anyway, it doesn't take away from your greatness.

2:25.3

I just want people to know for the record. Yes, I often have the time, but I never have the jacket on.

2:32.3

And I did explain why I do put it on though for the chats. I devote a time to clothing is very important. It's a very important issue.

2:42.3

Okay, that's that. What are you looking up? How it's listed? She's so self-conscious now.

2:52.3

I'm sorry. Someone put it in.

2:54.3

The episode that you did it like the day they put it in the brochure.

2:58.3
