Hello and welcome to Connected episode 451.

It's made possible this week by our sponsors, Squarespace, Nom, and Dark Noise.

My name is Stephen Hackett, and I have the pleasure of being joined by Mr. Mike Hurley.

Hello. Hey, bud. I'm happy to be back. I bring follow-up shortly, but before I will get to that,

I would like to introduce Federico Viterico. Hi, Federico. Hello. Hi. I had a vision. I had a vision

last night. Okay. Uh-huh. I can tell you one, two weeks in advance,

I will be the winner of the Rikis. I had a vision came to me. And the vision told me,

the vision told me, Tichi, you will win. See, because the funny thing is, I think you'll find it's the coronation year,

and I'm going to take all of it, because I'm already the annual chairman,

so I'm going to actually take the other one, and then I will be king.

Okay, so I just need you all to know that, like, that's good that you feel that way,

but I have the ability to just take it all and then it's mine.

No, Johnny Johnny Ive did not design a logo for you.

Oh, he will.

No.

That's my promise.

When I have bothered them, Sir Johnny Ive will create a seal for me as the Ricky King.

A seal.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

All right.

So anyway, we were saying follow-up.
