Hey, this is the moment. I'm Brian Koppelman. Thanks for listening. My guest today is I think the best songwriter in the world under 60 and someone I

first met in August of 2013 and his new album reunions is out this Friday. I have had the opportunity to listen

to it for the last little while and Jason man you did it again.

Thank you so much Brian. Thank you so much Brian.

Thank you.

You know, it's a challenge every time,

but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I think it's a good record. Thank you. Yeah, I mean I'm sure

you'll know what you think of it in a few years in a way. Yeah yeah you're probably right.

After I've had to sing this. Yeah, yeah, you're probably right.

After I've had to sing the songs a thousand times live,

then I'll decide if I like them or not.

But you know, this is the first one that I really,

after recording the record, I spent more time driving around listening to this one in the cars and I have any other album.

So I think that's a good sign. Oh yeah I think that that

yeah that means something if you can watch for me I know if I can watch the work right

in the shadow of making it and not just be cringing all over the place it's a very useful sign you know what I mean

usually you go kind of crazy watching it over and over when you're making it but then as

soon as you're done you

for me anyway I stop. Yeah I usually don't want to have anything to do with it for

a while I mean especially because I know I'm going to have to go back out and

perform it again at some point.
