From Relay App, and this is Upgrade Episode No. 384. Upgrade this week is brought to you by

Fitbod, Amazon Music, and Smile. I'm Jason Snell, I'm always here, but I'm not usually doing

this part, but Mike Hurley. Remember him? He is on assignment. He was in Los Angeles last week,

now he is in Hawaii, basking in the sun, drinking up the tropical rain, whatever he's doing there.

So instead, we have brought in a special guest host, making his only second appearance ever

on Upgrade. It's very special guest, novelist, macro columnist, clockwise and rebound co-host,

and my co-conspirator at Six Colors. It's Dan Moran. Hi, Dan. Hello, hello, hello.

No, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. You can't help. Just don't.

Hi, Jason. It's welcome to Upgrade. It's been since 2016, since you were here.

I know five years. I'll be due back after this in another five, and that'll be nice. No, it's great

to be back. I actually listened to Upgrade pretty much every week. It's one of the few shows I do

listen to every week. It's always a pleasure to get to come on and actually talk to you so you

can hear me instead of yelling at you and Mike. Dan and I, in addition to writing at Six Colors,

we do a weekly podcast for Six Colors members every Friday. It's not like Dan and I don't talk

every week about tech stuff, but we're doing it here on Upgrade this week. As always, we're going

to start with a hashtag Snelltalk question. I got to pick it, no less. And it's this. It's from

West. What is the oldest question in Snelltalk? How old is it? And why does Mike keep skipping the

question? And that brings us to this Snelltalk question from listener Graham sent April 6, 2017.

After you appeared on the podcast in, favorite law of physics.

Okay. Thank you, Graham from 2017. And I don't know. We're going to have to leave it for Mike

to answer why he keeps skipping this question and many other questions because it's a spreadsheet.

He could delete stuff at the top and say, I'm probably not going to answer a question.
