From Relay FM, this is Upgrade episode 369. Today's show is brought to you by Pingdom,

0:19.4

Memberful, and Gabby, my name is Mike Hurley, and I am joined by Jason Snow. Hi, Jason.

0:24.8

Hi, Mike. How are you? I am good. Wow. Hmm. Pregnant pause there. Yeah. If you ask me how my weekend was,

0:33.4

I would say it's going well so far because, of course, we were recording this on Labor Day,

0:37.8

a holiday. I'm informed a holiday in America for people who do not work for themselves and

0:44.7

pay attention to the calendar. But I've been informed by my school-going son and my working

0:51.3

wife that they aren't working today. But, you know, Upgrade soldiers on. I wonder if it's worse

2:03.8

incomparable because the incomparable does the same thing. And I had a guy who wrote to me and said,

2:08.6

why do you have these titles that have nothing to do with the show is about?

2:12.0

You should, if you're talking about a movie, your title should be the name of the movie. And I

2:17.8

thought, well, one, that's boring. Right. It's boring. It's boring. But we did create in the incomparable
