0:07.2	Stephen Robles and I'm joined again by Andrew O'Hara this week. That's
0:10.4	for joining me, Andrew. Yep, yep, no problem.
0:13.0	So we're going to touch on some quick news and then we're actually going to spend some time
0:16.2	later in the show talking about smart home devices, all the things, some of the new smart home
0:21.5	stuff that's coming out soon, home kit enabled accessories.
