Alice, it's Matt. [sighs] You've probably seen I've been canceled. I've been fired from all my projects. I've got nowhere to go, and I remember back when we started doing the show about five years ago, you said, "Oh, if you ever need anything..." Very kind of you to offer. I wondered if I'd just come and stay with you for a bit.
Alice Levine· Host0:28
Did I? Oh, God, I don't remember. Did I definitely say that?
Matt Forde· Host0:31
