Hello and welcome to Connected episode 375.

It's made possible this week by our sponsors, FitBod, Trade Coffee, and PINGdom.

My name is Stephen Hackett, and I'm joined by Mr. Federico Vatici.

Hello. Hi. Hello. There's no Mike, but we've replaced him with the one true John.

Hello, John Voorhees. Hey, how's it going, guys? Hello. Much better version of Mike. Like this,

Mike 2.0 that goes by John, I kind of like it.

I think it's Mike 3.

I got to say, oh, Mike.

It's a lot easier to record with you guys when I'm not sitting in Federico's lap.

Wow.

Okay.

Okay.

That's the show this week. Okay. Okay. That's the show this week. Yeah, I'm still in a bedroom, but I'm in a bedroom by myself. I see that you've started connected and how we like to do things, John. Yes, I have.

So look, some people out there are going to be really concerned for our safety because

John is, while he is the one true John, he is also part of the, the subversive triple

J gang that is threatening to upheave the entire show in its universe.

So John, don't try anything sneaky.

I don't know. I think you're probably safe since

James. Well, we don't know exactly where James is, but... He could be outside of my office right now.

You never know. That's upsetting. We should also say, Federico, you got a booster shot today. So that's

awesome, but you may fall asleep at some point during the show.

Yeah, congrats. Yeah, thank you. I am boosted.
