| 0:00.0 | Well hello everybody, I'm Dennis Prager, this is my home, my dog, my fireplace, and it's a joy to be with you. |
| 0:10.0 | I wouldn't have been doing these fireside chats as we call them every week if I weren't getting such positive feedback to be perfectly honest with you. |
| 0:20.0 | This was almost an afterthought we had about two years ago and we're in the 800,000 view area and that means I guess about a million people. |
| 0:33.0 | You don't assume just one person is seeing every video. That's a lot, that's a lot. |
| 0:38.0 | I don't take these things for granted, even though Prager U has a billion views. |
| 0:44.0 | I don't knock a million, to say, that's a pretty serious number. |
| 0:51.0 | And I'm very gratified because it's completely unrehearsed, totally spontaneous. I just share thoughts with you in the hope that it will clarify life for you and give you a better life. |

| 1:51.0 | So your questions are very important obviously because they help make it all worth it. |
| 2:00.0 | Oh, Cadillac, Ryan 16, Turlock, California. You know, I live in California, but I don't know most of the cities and I've lived here. |
| 2:10.0 | Oh, got a long time. |
| 2:12.0 | But I don't know, you know where Turlock is? You guys never heard of it either. |
| 2:18.0 | Wherever Turlock is, hello to you, Ryan. |
| 2:22.0 | What is your opinion on online dating? |
| 2:28.0 | If I were single, I would, well, I have to make something clear. |
