Hello and welcome to the Verge Cast. The Flagship podcast, theverge.com. I'm Neil

Ipetel. I am Deeter Bone. Megan Ferkmanesh, that's me. That's you. Who are you? I'm

Christopher Thomas Plann. Who's this interloper? The fourth guest and the best

to guess. Oh God. This is going to be a disaster. If you're listening to this, you know, we've

done one live show at Southwest Northwest at National Geographic's further base camp,

base brand. Yeah. This is our second show. Megan and Christopher here. It's also

the Southwest. We've had an audience. Audience, tell the people in the cars what you sound like.

That's good. They're really loud. A lot of car accidents just happened. Turn left. That's great.

It's just a really angry navigation. What if we did a podcast where we actually hired

somebody who does voice navigation and just had them randomly shout commands? That's actually a great

like you download a podcast and it just tells you where to go. And then like there's a prize.

Well, there's a thing where there's like a city tour podcasting you can do anyway.

Hey, everybody. Deeter knows about the nerdiest podcast in the world. It's from the guy

who used to run Groupon and you like random from whatever. Yeah, the guy run Groupon. Everything's

a success. Anyway, Megan and Chris, how are you guys doing? So Chris actually lives in Austin.

How you doing? Talk to us. Just kidding. No, I just I want these are our culture reporters.

You actually live here. I'm an editor. Chris is also fired.

Now, but you live in Austin. I do. Southbyes must be a weird experience for you. You've been

like running around seeing movies and panels. How are things going? Pretty good. This is actually my

first time in Austin and it's off by Southwest. I'm used to covering gaming conventions. I got to

say this is way better. Chris, what are you? Yeah, I have not done pretty much any of the Southbyes

because I live in North Austin. I was like, what if I don't do a traffic? I had an allergy attack.
