Hello and welcome to connected.

My name is Stephen Hackett.

I'm your host.

I live in the South, so my voice is different from that of my co-host.

I'm going to introduce them in a second.

I'm going to leave them hanging out there where I tell you this episode is brought to by our fine sponsors, ExpressVPN, Fresh Books, and Bombas.

This is an even episode.

So even episodes means Federico gets to go first.

Hi, Federico.

Hi, man from the south.

Is that a new thing?

I don't know.

It just came out.

And it's an odd episode next week. So this

week, Mike has to wait till last. Mike, how are you? I'm from the South too. You're from the

South of the North Pole. I'm in the South of London. We're an international show. You can't

just say I'm from the South.

Well, you can if you're American-centric, like many people in the world are.

Right, well, but that's a problem, though.

You need to accept the everybody.

I'm from the American, say, hey, don't pin me, don't pin me down.

This show has two-thirds non-American hosts. That's true. About number. So take that.
