Hello and welcome to another perfectly normal New Year's episode of Connected number

584.

We are not the kind of podcast that gives our host ridiculous made-up titles.

No, we don't.

So why would we?

I would like to introduce you to my entirely unremarkable

friend and co-host James Thompson. Hi, James. Thanks, Jason. I mean, it is always a pleasure to do

this show, and I'm not just saying that because I'm trying to make up for any bad behavior that

may or may not have occurred last year. But in turn,

I'd like to introduce you to my completely fine co-host, John Voorhees. Hello, hello,

everybody. Could we just maybe think about going back to titles because I kind of miss them.

I mean, I feel like I have a chance to win this time around. And, you know, I just like to have a title again. But, yeah, we're back. We're back together again. Yeah, yeah, we're back together. And it's, you know, you expect us because we're here every week. So, yeah, well, let's let let's go on with the show, right? Okay. All right.

Yeah, we'll just, I mean, it's perfectly normal.

Let's do some follow up.

Follow up.

A lot of people wrote in to complain that James was too mean to John.

Hmm.

This happened.

We're sorry.

We didn't notice because we just assume that that's what happens.

But obviously other people notice.

James, be nicer.
