Right at the top of the show, I want to apologize for the audio quality in this episode.

We had some major technical difficulties on my end, and it took my editor, Randy and I about 24 hours to fix up the audio to this slightly manageable quality.

Definitely sounds like I'm in a phone booth in a subway, but hopefully you can at least hear me.

Randy really did a great job, making sure that it

sounded as good as it can. I want to make sure that everyone knows that we will be back with our

regular audio quality in the next episode. This was just a technical difficulty, and this is by no

means permanent. I'm sorry if this makes any audio files, ears start to bleed.

And without any further ado, here's the show.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Telos of Tech podcast.

We're up to episode nine now.

It's been quite a busy week, and we're once again joined by my co-host, Nick Answine.

How's it going?

Hey, I'm doing great, Drew. How are you?

Pretty good, and wanting home pods, as they are now ordered.

I'm glad you got those suckers ordered.

Yeah, did you get any?

No, I didn't.

Aw.

No, home pods for Nick?

I just can't really find a place for it in my life right now.

Okay.

Yeah, I don't really think it'll fit into my living room ecosystem.
