Hey, this is the moment. I'm Brian Koppelman. Thanks for listening.

I am actually sitting here with my guest.

The great writer John Aikoff, John,

thanks for being here.

Thanks for having me, Brian.

Dude, I'm really excited about this,

so I'm not gonna do the introduction beforehand

and I'm not gonna ramble other introduction beforehand and I'm not going to ramble other than

to say to the listeners thanks for the continued support it's great when I go to iTunes and

see the people have written reviews and when I get emails at the moment BK at gmail.com I read every one of them I respond to everyone even if it takes me longer than I wish it would to respond I promise that I will and I do respond and I really appreciate the letters.

John you must get a lot of letters. I get some letters I don't get any screen plays though.

Well yeah I this has been effective my audience for this show.

The listeners to the show are sensitive people and they know that it would do neither

neither them nor me.

See I'm a listener like I know like I know the intro you could do it you can do it for me like don't send me any don't send me

screenplays don't send me TV ideas don't send me any movies I'm going to throw those away. But everything else, I'll read.

Everything else and it's great and I love reading them. Let me ask you this question.

You know, you're a writer who's lumped into the self-help category.

Uh-huh. And so when I'm saying, you know, sort of glibly you must get these letters you're still like a

young person you know you're not Tony Robbins or Seth Godin or one of these people has

been doing this for 30 years.

Sure.
