What's up on that?

I'm at. Welcome to the program.

Just put it on my headset. How you doing?

Good.

Good. I suppose since we're doing this at an earlier time, we're able to join us today, huh?

I just saw it pop up, and I thought, oh, there's Chris, I've had spoken to him in a while.

Why not speak to him in front of loads of other people tuning in.

That will be a way to catch up with Chris.

I would you do.

Good.

Funny enough, actually, this might be kind of appropriate,

given that Brian and I were of course going to talk about just like things that have been going on lately. Like, I mean, this, the end of this year has been kind of insane, but the year, you know, as a whole in terms of like the big stories and then some prognostication about the year coming.

So you know you'd be the perfect person actually to throw some ideas around with.

Yes absolutely.

Matt feel free to stay as long as you want and dip out quietly if you want but yeah

kick it off Chris. Great welcome everybody to the tech meme ride home experience

for Thursday December 8th once again it's been a little bit quiet from us lately, but we are back.

I am back in my cold shed in Oakland, California. It was raining and kind of miserable for a while.

Yesterday it was beautiful, now it's gray again, but this is certainly the end of a season and

the end of the year and this is a show for us to, I think, talk about obviously some of the things

that have been happening over the year that we've been discussing and analyzing and then also putting some thoughts together about where next year might take us.

Of course it's very difficult to give in this year so far, but Brian?
