Welcome to the Verge Cast, the flagship podcast of Sneaky Gaming Strategies.

0:06.7

I'm your friend David Pierce and I am sitting in my basement doing Legos, which is a sentence

0:10.8

I have not been able to say for a long time and I'm very excited to say.

0:14.0

So Liam James, our producer, got me this Polaroid One Step LEGO thing for Christmas this past year,

0:20.0

which is part of, I'm sure you've seen this, but LEGO doing all the stuff with old technology

0:25.2

and everything from the set of the office to the McLaren Formula One car, taking all of that stuff,

1:13.4

Virg cast I promise. Anyway we have an awesome show coming up for you today.

1:16.7

We're gonna do two things. First we're gonna talk to Will Poor who has been kind

1:20.5

of immersing himself in the world of right to repair. It's a really

1:24.2

interesting time in the world of right to repair. There have been big bills that

1:27.3

have gone through. There's some real momentum for the idea that you should be able to
