| 0:21.1 | I'm Felix Salmon of Axios. |
| 0:23.3 | I'm here with Emily Peck. |
| 0:25.0 | Hi. |
| 0:25.6 | Hello. |
| 0:26.0 | And, oh my God, I am so excited about this episode because we have Michael Beirut on the show. |
| 0:32.5 | Michael, welcome. |
| 0:33.9 | Hello. |
| 0:34.7 | The legendary designer from Pendergram. You've designed everything we've ever seen. True story. Later on in this show, I happen to mention on person, oh yeah, that thing with a MasterCard logo. And you're like, oh, yeah, I did that. Sort of, yeah, exactly. Thank you, though.
