From Relay FM, this is Upgrade, and of course these are the Upgrady Awards for 2019.

Today's show is brought to you by PDF Penn from Smile, Linode, Kensington, and Ethos,

we'll be talking about our sponsors of this fine prestigious awards event as we go through the proceedings of the evening.

My name is Mike Hurley and I am joined by my co-chair in thegrady's Award Committee, Mr.

Jason Snell.

Hi Jason Snell.

Does that mean we have to like share a single chair?

Is that how that works?

One very big chair.

It's like a love seat. Okay, that's good. It's the sixth, Mike, sixth annual upgradeies. How about that?

I'm pleased you said that because I can't.

Very quickly before we begin, thank you to everybody for the kind words about our last episode.

I'm really pleased that people enjoyed the Holiday Special as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Both me and Jason worked very hard on that one, I think, and I'm really pleased that people liked it because you're never sure how people

are going to react right? Yeah I didn't I didn't know because it's like it starts out

and it's kind of real but then it becomes ludicrous as it goes and that that's great I also my condolences

to the people who thought oh I much prefer this format I'm glad that upgrade is

now just going to be serial every week because it's not

but thank you. Who knows maybe maybe in the future we'll see I definitely know it's not going to be the case

but who knows maybe there be another one we'll see but. But these are the Upgrady Awards. Let me explain to you some of the proceedings that we have going on today. This is our sixth year in a row that we are doing the Upgries which is a wonderful thing to think about and

I'm very excited that we're here today because I enjoy the Upgradies immensely.
