Hello and welcome to analog.

This is a very, very special analog.

This is the last only, I think it's the only one that we've had without Mike at least

participating in some way, shape, or form.

But this is the one that you're going to get as the final one before Mike returns.

And I am so incredibly happy to introduce and bring back to the show. Aaron Liss, how's it going, Aaron? Hi.

Aaron is here under some amount of duress, I think. She is, she did volunteer to a degree for the show. I think you did some. I said, oh, I need a

guest for analog. You know, do you want to do it? And you're like, yeah, sure. And then as time got

closer, I think you got a less and less enthusiastic about being on the microphone. But that's

okay. I don't know. Well, welcome to analog, Aaron.

Thank you. I appreciate the setup that you have for me here, where I have to look directly at you

this whole time. Yes, indeed. Our office was not built for two-person podcasting. And this audio setup

may or may not be great for two-person podcasting. At least this way, I can give you panic eyes if I need to.

That is true.

That is very true.

So this is episode 236 of Analog.

And Aaron, you were last year for episode number 69 all the way back in 2015.

On December 6th of 2015, we might have talked about a lot of the same things.

I don't know about you, but I have almost no recollection of what we talked to.

No, I do.

I actually was thinking about this when I was walking our dog a little bit ago that the last time was 10 years ago.

And how different things are from when that happened.
