Hey, this is the moment. I'm Brian Coppelman. Thanks for listening. My guest today,

Jason Rosenthal, is an incredibly brave writer and a brave person and has I'm sure

didn't set out to become a brave person or a person who is looked to for strength by people going through very difficult

times.

Jason wrote a book that just came out that I read in one night called,

My wife said, you may want to marry me.

Jason and I have our own history as well.

The book, My wife said you may want to marry me,

is about how he coped following the death of his wife Amy Krause

Rosenthal. Amy famously wrote on March 3rd, 2017,

and a Modern Love Column that went more than viral

that about how she was dying

and about how her husband was prime Marion material for somebody else. When that piece went viral, it thrust

Jason in what I have come to know was the darkest period of his life into the public eye and this book

takes us from really the two of them falling in love through Amy's death and the way Jason and his family

processed it. I will tell you that during this time reading this book during COVID

if I didn't know Jason and if I hadn't known Amy reading this book during COVID, if I didn't know Jason and if I hadn't known Amy reading this book during COVID

would have been useful for me because it puts in a kind of perspective that no matter what we're going through

someone can be going through something worse and also puts in perspective that you can

go through the very worst things and scrape and claw and find your way out to the other side.

Jason, thanks for writing it and thanks for being here.

Brian, thanks for having me.
