Hello and welcome to Connected episode 380.

It's made possible this week by our sponsors,

Bombus, Fitbod, and New Relic.

I am your annual chairman, Stephen Hackett,

and I am joined by two other people. Hello, Federica

Vatici. Hello, but was that necessary? Like, that's sort of like you are the chairman and we are two

other people. I'm trying to figure out, you know, how it is my first time being annual chairman.

Oh, yeah, you're doing a good job.

Thank you.

Also joined by Mike Curley.

You failed as your first role as annual chairman, like your first thing, your first thing as annual chairman was to begin the closing ceremonies and you didn't even do it.

We did not do that last time.

So I'm not sure if we can hold on to the result of you actually being annual chairman at this point.

We may need to take it away from you.

I mean, maybe get some friends together

mm-hmm and some sort of crowd we're gonna come on down say hi and try to stop me

of year for it so we are uh yes we were apologetic about this. It was the first time
