0:00.0	Welcome to the Virge Cast, the flagship podcast of open smart home standards.
0:07.0	I'm your friend David Pierce and I am cooped up inside.
0:10.0	It's a holiday weekend, but it's like hot and rainy all at the same time and it's just like a nasty time to be outside
0:18.0	But the upside of that is it means I have an incredible built-in excuse to just spend three days playing video games.
0:24.4	That is essentially what has happened. I don't know if I've mentioned this on the show
0:28.9	before but the game over probably the last decade that has eaten up the most of my time, is FIFA, the soccer game.
0:36.0	It's not even called FIFA anymore, it's EA Sports FC now, but who cares?

1:16.9	It's a whole thing.
1:17.9	I can tell you who all the leakers are.
1:19.2	If you ever want to talk about FIFA and Compare Ultimate Teams, get at me.
1:23.1	It's the only thing I ever want to talk about.
1:25.2	Luckily for most of you, that is not what we are here
