Hi, James. Ben, how are you? Good. I remember to say hi instead of hello. So we're already

off to a better start. We were out of practice. I swear, I was so looking forward to hearing that last

week and I wasn't going to give it to you. I was just like, I don't know what to say. I had no idea.

I had no idea what you were doing. I was very confused like the first 10 seconds. I thought it was intentional. I thought

you were trying to throw me off or something. No, no. I appreciate that the presumption of cleverness,

though. Well, to be fair, you've probably earned it by now. Well, just a warning to our audience.

I am traveling and am having significant Wi-Fi problems. So actually,

the company that is having an event here, they actually brought their own Wi-Fi,

presumably because they knew the hotel Wi-Fi is terrible, but their conference room

where they have the Wi-Fi set up is closed. So I'm actually sitting outside of their

conference room so I could use their Wi-Fi because it's like four in the morning and everyone's

sleeping right now. And so it should be okay. It's a very quiet town, but there are some seagulls. So

if there is an occasional bird sound, that is me, not James. I just want to make that clear.

Well, it's probably the birds are not you, but I appreciate you taking responsibility

early on.

So I'm thinking this is going to be like the European version of the garbage truck song.

Instead of the garbage trucks, we're going to get some seagulls at some point.

With any luck, we'll see how we go.

We'll see how we go.

We'll see how we go. We'll see how we go. We'll see how we go.

And we're going to need the luck, apparently, if we talk about Facebook. But first,

I want to, yes, this podcast, as every podcast will be this year, is sponsored by MailChimp.
