Hello and welcome to episode 6004 of Connected, the world's greatest podcast.

My name is Stephen Hackett.

I'm your annual chairman, and I'm here to introduce Mike.

Hi, Mike.

Oh, hello. I'm so happy to be back. Yes, welcome back. How was your time away? It was good. It was good. I have a very quick funny story to tell you. I will just introduce the keynote chairman of Federer. Federer. Hello, hi, Mike. How are you? Very good, very good. So I was listening to the Connected podcast. I had already been told that there was a segment I wasn't supposed to listen to. Actually, before I was told that, I saw the chapter names. And it said, Mike, don't listen to his chapter, which I thought was very funny as a chapter to name purely for one person, which is pretty good.

Like everybody else got that chapter name.

You are more than a... a chapter name purely for one person, which is pretty good.

Like everybody else got that chapter name, even though it was useless.

You are more than a person.

You are a co-host.

Co-host.

Okay.

But so I knew this was coming, right?

And I was taking a walk to go pick up coffee in the morning.

We were in Romania. It's the first

trip overseas with a baby. It went really well, actually. I'm very happy about that.

And I was walking down the street carrying two flat whites, one in each hand. And I listening to

the podcast, they're like, okay, Mike, stop listening now. I'm like, oh, God, I didn't have any free hands. I put, I put a coffee down on the street, on the floor, like the pavement on the street to be able to the floor of the street, to pull the floor of the street, as we call it. That's how it's called in Romania. They call it the floor of the street. It's like a whole thing.

And then I, so yeah, I had to put the coffee down in the, in the street, on the street floor. And so I could pause it. And, and Mark it is done. This is fantastic. Thank you for not cheating. No problem. Or listening or whatever. I can't even tell you what it's about. I mean, I know what it was, even though I haven't listened.

There is precedent for this.

Like, I know what it was, even though I haven't listened.

There is precedent for this. Like, I am aware of what probably occurred. Didn't you all make... Yeah, it's not time. It's not time yet? Okay. It's not time. I think it's July. So you know when it is. Okay. Yeah. I week, looked because I figured you were going to do this to me. Are we that predictable, Federica? Are we that predictable to him? You told me, don't listen to
