Connor, happy Earthling Day.

Hey, Andrew, happy Earthing Day to you too.

How are you doing today, man?

I'm doing pretty good. We are you doing today, man?

I'm doing pretty good.

We are almost through getting everything ready to post.

So, you know, that's a good feeling, getting ready for close loading up.

Yeah, and this was a less, less hectic and stressful Earthling, I would say, than the typical Friday.

We got everything wrapped up pretty early.

I guess I'll go ahead and introduce us. I'm Andrew Day, staff writer at Robert Wright's non-zero newsletter on Substack. You are Connor Eccles, the managing editor at Robert

writes, non-zero newsletter. And this is a very special edition of Earthling unplugged, where

we talk about the latest issue of

the Earthling, the Friday edition of the newsletter. And we also share hot takes and stray thoughts

on current events. And the reason this episode of Earthling Unplugged is so special is that,

as viewers and listeners may already have noticed, the head honcho, Robert Wright, is not here. He was in a

tragic baking accident, just burnt his eyebrows, clean off, so he doesn't want to appear on video.

But we're told he'll survive. No, he's traveling. And it sounds like he's quite busy. So really,

we could gossip and gripe about our boss all we want. Do you have any, do you have like a list of grievances you want to share?

Yeah, it is time.

It's time to get things off our chest. That's true. We'll save it for overtime maybe. We'll save our list of grievances for the other side of the paywall. That's true. Yeah, that's a good hook too. Yeah. You want to become an NCN member on Substack.
