There was no wind when filming. His hair just does that.

Matt Mercer needs to write a Self Help Book. Call it "Dungeon and Dragons and the Unintentional Therapy Session"

[GratuaCuun]

We love you Todd.
When you said "this is unprofessional" when telling Matt he means alot to you, You may think that's unprofessional but you saying that and just talking to Matt is one of the many reasons I love watching your interviews. You are so open and genuine with people and it shows. Dont be afraid of that.

Huge hugs to both of you.

"It's seen as a sign of liability to have any kind of absence of perfection." Holy hell, I need to write that down. Thank you so much for both of you for staying kind, imperferct and open.

[BittyVids]

Todd is a big dude!
Also, we don’t deserve Mercer. I love the great influences at the forefront of dnd. So wholesome.

Matt talking about “chosen family” hits home. Not all of us were born into a good supportive family. Sometimes all we have is those we choose to surround ourselves with.

What's bigger Mathew Mercer's heart or Todd's questions?

[danalou_who]

Todd and Matt, thank you so much for this candid talk!!💕 It means a lot to me and to the rest of the community that you can be real and vulnerable with us! Hugs to you both!!!

Local Nerd interviews Jesus: he’s as cool irl as he is in the books

[human_collector]

Uses Inspiring Leader feat/ability.
Hair blows in the wind.
Well, I'm sold.

[kparish]

We need to safeguard Matt and Co. as well. Please please please take care of yourselves so we can have you around for along time as that positive person.

[Unhlyne]

The "unprofessional" question is what pushes this interview to a more genuine place, despite it being that to begin with. How do we need the same blanket questions that everyone has heard the answer to so many times they can give it themselves?
Very wholesome and seemless interview.

[darkfable]

What a class act, seriously! Like, I see him as the next Mr. Roger/Bob Ross/Levar Burton level of positive energy that this world needs to make it a better place.

[Myrgiyt]

6 months ago I only knew DnD from PC games. Then I started watching campaign 2. By now I'm devouring episode after episode, and just now, I started a campaign with my friends and it it so fulfilling, so satisfying that I have tears of joy even now as I write these words. Thank you Matthew, you are a gem in our nerdy community. <3

[jujujohnson]

Because of your candid and personal interviews make all us feel closer to amazing people like Matt Mercer.

[Kyru]

I love Matthew Mercers willingness to be vulnerable in public, it is very humbling. I can relate to him on mental health and appriciate him and the cast on what they do.

[SoyElDoug]

Universe is 14, 000, 000, 000 years old, infinitely massive, and I get to exist on the same planet, at the same time, as this beautiful soul. What did I do to deserve this.

[liammsalvador]

Matt, what a precious, precious man ~ The world would be better if more people were like him, caring, warm, sincere, empathetic, and overall positive and willing to be better not only for themselves but for the world ~ I'm always glad to remember that I'm lucky enough to be living in the same time as someone like him and be able to see this precious man conquer <3

[stone_play]

I’m so happy to see great people like Matt telling us that all of us are flawed, even him, and that it’s ok, that’s something to talk about, to seek friends and sometimes being that same friend. I mean, how great is this guy? Just thank you so much Matt; in name of all Critters, we love you man ❤️✌️

[hunacean]

Conversations like this are just such a god damn treat to watch

[jarydkay]

Thank you to you both for taking that time to have that wonderful conversation with each other,
but also for Todd breaking the interview to just talk.
I feel safe enough here to admit that I teared up a few times, for just the sheer honesty and being so real with us all.
That hit me pretty hard in the feels in the best way, of course, haha <3
