Hello, welcome to the Vergecast, the flagship podcast of the Verge.com.

Today's episode is very special because literally everyone is remote.

So I am here, I'm Neil Epitell, I'm in Upset, New York.

Paul Miller is here, where are you Paul?

I'm in the studio, where are you guys?

Paul's all alone.

Ready to do a Vergecast.

Lauren, good is here, Lauren, where are you?

I am in Pavel Alto.

And Dieter Bohn is here, Dieter seems very angry, where are you Dieter?

I'm just angry, I don't know, I'm in our San Francisco office, I'm only technically remote.

Okay, so we're here.

It's good, we're good.

Yeah, it's been, I will say it has been an absolutely bonkers week at the Verge, we've

done so much stuff.

I want to shout out like our other section.

So the science section this week has been incredible.

You should go read, Alessandra Patenzos piece on Kava, which is a bitter root that you

mash into water and then drink in its muscle relaxant, but it might also destroy your liver.

So you got to really balance that one out.

Go read that.

The transportation section this week, just out of control.
