On this week's episode of Thick & Thin, we have our first guest on the show, and it's none other than our good friend and former co-host, Alex Blumberg. Alex has been in prison for a long time now, and we wanted to have a chance to hear his side of the story.
00:00:00.000Why would you want to interview me? I'm a bad person, I thought, according to your little story.
00:00:07.520Well, I just tried to report both sides of every story, so...
00:00:12.320Oh, you do both sides? Is that how you think you were?
00:00:16.520Well, that includes your side as well.
00:00:18.980So, you know, it was obviously difficult to interview you while you were in jail.
00:00:25.660Well, now you're out. You know, we can actually have a chance to hear your side of things.
00:00:32.700Problem is, Matt, everyone on the planet wants to interview me.
00:00:38.780So the question is, why would I choose you when I have unlimited offers from people who are far more successful and better than you at the job?
00:00:47.460Because I'd be doing... And I'm not trying to disrespect you, I'm being honest.
00:03:58.980Do you work for the BBC now, or do you work for yourself?
00:04:02.740I'm an independent contractor, but it has to be broadcast somewhere, and I think the BBC is where it would go.
00:04:10.060But one thing I would say, though, is I spoke to the sartorial shooter, and he said that one of the things you might want is the chance to film it and record it yourself.
00:04:24.820Oh, you mean so you can't edit in stutters like you did with Vice to pretend that I was stuttering when I was answering questions?
