Popis: We compute the genus $0$ free energy for the $2$-matrix model with quartic interactions, which acts as a generating function for the Ising model's partition function on a random, $4$-regular, planar graph. This rigorously confirms the predictions of V.A. Kazakov and D.V. Boulatov on this model, and provides a new parametric formula for the free energy. We also give a characterization of the phase space of the model. Our analysis is based on a steepest descent Riemann-Hilbert analysis of the associated biorthogonal polynomials and the corresponding isomonodromic $\tau$-function. A key ingredient in the analysis is a parametrization of the spectral curve.
