Hello, Kevin.

Hello, I'm here in a beautiful studio in London.

Casey, we have been trying to get a studio like this for years,

and I think we just figured out that we have to just move the show to London

and tape it here every week.

You're in this sort of, like, lush red booth with the Hard Fork logo behind you on a TV. It sort of looks like if hard fork

was a Denny's diner, it would kind of look a little bit like the studio that you're at. Like,

I keep waiting for them to bring you a plate of pancakes. I want the Grand Slam breakfast.

Now, Casey, do you miss me in person? Is it different recording without me? No, it's great. I have

stretched my legs all the way across the studio for the first time.

My circulation has never been better.

It's markedly cooler in here, both in the sort of temperature and vibe sense of the word.

So, no, if you want to stay over there for a while, you find by us.

Music No, if you want to stay over there for a while, you're fine by us. I'm Kevin Russo Tech columnist at the New York Times.

I'm Casey Noon from Platformer.

And this is Hard Fork.

This week, the Trump family is releasing a phone.
