From Relay FM, this is Upgrade. Episode 347 in today's show is brought to you by

0:15.4

FitBud, ExpressVPN and Technology Untangled. My name is Mike Hurley and I'm joined by

0:20.7

Jason Snow. Hi, Jason Snow. Hi, Mike Hurley. How are you?

0:25.0

I'm doing okay. It's good to be here. It's good to be awake and upright on a Monday morning

0:29.6

to do Upgrade as we, as is our tradition. Do you remember why we decided to do Upgrade

0:35.3

on Monday? Did it just happen or did we actually choose this to start our week with Upgrade?

0:42.8

I can't say I remember exactly. I can make a few guesses. One, I can imagine it was a

and three cups of tea, mugs of tea. We have a device that I like to call the tea robot. It's a

2:01.5

breville tea maker that you put in the water and you put a tea in a basket and you press the

button and it does everything else. It boils it, drops the basket in, steeps it, pulls the basket

2:11.9

back out and beeps. So you only have to do one thing. You load it up and press the button and walk
