Hi, James.

Ben, how are you?

Not very good.

Why not?

Because I'm nervous about this podcast.

Oh my gosh.

Hang on.

Hang on.

Before you start, like, getting in a little jab before we've even begun, I mean...

That wasn't a jab.

I am nervous.

You're like trying to put me on the back foot and we haven't even started and I and what I need to be doing is making

you feel guilty for flying over the Atlantic Ocean and forgetting your microphone last week.

Well, I didn't fly over the Atlantic Ocean because that would be a very long trip.

Oh my gosh. You went the other way, of course. Yes, sorry. Sorry about last week. I forgot a mic.

And because I was in Europe and the time zones are actually much more difficult from there anyway. I'm not sure if we could have even pulled it off. But then it was a moot point once I forgot my mic. Sorry for last week. And needless to say, feel compelled to talk about what we would have talked about last week, which is this whole Facebook brouhaha.

So when you said I was going to shout at you for getting your mic, what you really meant was I was going to shout at you because we're talking about Facebook.

So we've had an ongoing difference of opinion that I suspect is going to continue about Facebook and and

censorship and and and and tilting the news and and and so on and so forth.

So just just to quickly recap and I actually think that and I know everyone is familiar

at this point, but I think it's one of those things where everyone is familiar with the story to the point where they're actually missing what's actually happening in the story.

It's just this Facebook tells the news.
