Hello and welcome to a very special episode of Connected number 533.

This one is brought to you by FitBod and Squarespace.

Join us once again as we push the boundaries of how long a bit can go on for and still be

considered funny. Can a podcast even have a fourth wall? I am but your humble Apple Park

Prince James Thompson and it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the connected quiz champion

and Grand Admiral Pickerton himself, Mr. John Vohy's. Welcome, John. Thank you for having me.

I mean, you know, here we are again. And I'm, you know, I've had a great year. How could I not

have had a great year being the Grand Admiral? But yeah, I'm the Pickerton. And I'm also joined

today by another wonderful co-host, Mr. Jason Snell, who is, in fact,

the winner of the Vorheises and the connected monthly contest winner.

Yeah, yeah, I am.

I've got those.

But, John, it's, it's Picky's Day. So now after your year of

lording it over us, a new champion will be crowned today. It's true. It's very amazing. And really,

I think my favorite thing that I won this year is the four heises of all of the many games we play,

because I correctly predicted everything you do this year,

which is hard to do because you are a man of mystery.

And yet somehow I nailed it.

Maybe you've been stalking me all the year.

I mean, have you been just like right around the corner?

That's why we recorded that episode in secret and didn't let you in on it.

It's because we didn't want you to know I was stalking you this year.
