Hello, Connor.

Hey, Bob, how you doing?

Not too bad.

Why don't introduce this?

I'm Robert Wright, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Non-Zero Newsletter. You're Connor Eccles, as you may know. Managing Editor of the Non-Zero Newsletter. And this is Non-Zero World, the weekend podcast of the non-zero media empire.

Yeah, that Bob is now hijacking, as you can see.

That's not the way of this.

That is the opposite of the truth, as I'm about to explain to you, okay?

I have a couple of housekeeping items here, and one of them is the future of this show.

Okay.

So the show is in flux until very recently your co-host was Andrew Day.

As it happens, he got a compelling offer from an even bigger and more richly resourced media empire.

Who knew that there was such a thing?

Apparently there is.

Plus, it's like a good, good place from DeBe, which on foreign policy shares many of our values. But so I'm kind of a

placeholder. I'm a mere placeholder. Don't get used to looking at me, okay? We're trying to figure

out exactly what's going to happen with the show,

but the more I think about it and talk to people about it,

including these, including conversations, you're not even partied to, okay?

I am, I've scoured the globe for creative geniuses.

I'm talking to a guy in Spain, a creative genius in Spain,

about what we're going to do with the show. His name is Nikita. And he has some ideas. And all I can say is that we have plans for you, young man. You're going to be, you're going to be big. You're going to be big. That's big. This is good. I feel like I'm getting the, really getting the shoulder tap, you know what I mean?
