What if there was a better way to talk to all your friends than through a thousand different messaging apps on a thousand different platforms?

What if you could just find the show you wanted without browsing through infinite tiles in a hundred different streaming apps?

What if you could have all of your stuff everywhere without dealing with some crummy user interface on some unknowable file sharing platform?

This month on the Vergecast we're looking into connectivity. How we talk to each other, how we talk to our stuff, how we find things online.

All this month, on the Vergecast, available wherever you get podcasts.

Hello and welcome into another edition of our error error hide pride interview series. My name is Pete Sweeney and the editor in chief of error hide pride.com.

I'm joined by my counterpart today of silver and black pride.com Bill Williamson. Bill, welcome to the error hide pride podcast network.

Pete, thanks for having me. Always enjoy this kind of stuff.

So here we go. It's Sunday night football. It is a major surround a major game in the AFC West and they suddenly open conference really with all the teams losing and winning and whatnot.

Let's start here and I want to cast a wide net right now because we know about what the month has been for this Raiders franchise.

Where do you think everything sort of stands heading into what is a key game for both sides here?

Well, you know, that's, that's an interesting question. A question really I can be able to answer until after the game.

This is a crossroad game for the Raiders. It really is because if you look at the last two years, they started fast

and really knows that hard in 2019 in 2020.

And, you know, last year, questions about it when they're, you know, right about this point in Derek Karsak, you know, I talked to Mike Mayock and we're a different team this year.

No, you're not. You're the same thing. You do the same thing. So this year, I think, after what happening is to giants, I think it, they may be wondering, okay, is this, is this the start of it?

I think that's more the fans because I think the Raiders themselves, everybody in the building is more just focused on what they've been through.

So I don't know if they're, they're quite worrying about are we doing it again, but if they lose to the chiefs, that can see been because they'll go from five and two to five and four.

And go, oh, here we go again. So, but on the flip side, if they win, there'll be six and three have a nice lead on the chiefs, be right in the thick of it in the division, be right in the thick of it in the conference and say, okay, that, that giants loss was a blip.

It happens all the time. What will happen above for the last week against Jaguars? We're fine.

And again, and then they can circle the wagons and say, you know, we're so proud of ourselves that we made it through what's going on with, you know, the group in the, in the groves and our net, and they should be proud of themselves, you know, so again, I just go back to a crossroads game and we'll learn so much about the Raiders Sunday night.

Bill, you mentioned that lost the giants. This is a team, the chiefs were able to beat probably a closer game than they would have liked the Raiders end up losing 23 to 16.
