Are they on? Casey Newton:
Yep, so introduce yourself. Frank Walker:
Okay. Hey, I'm Frank, how you doing? Don't answer that, that's rhetorical. Okay, let's get you up to speed... this is a story about the future, and The future can be scary... Casey Newton:

Could you please just stop interrupting? Casey Newton:
I will, just try to be more upbeat. Frank Walker:
Upbeat? I can't tell them anything if you keep interrupting me. Casey Newton:
You're right, sorry. Frank Walker:
As I was saying... with every second that ticks by, we get closer and closer... Casey Newton:

I can't tell them anything until I tell them about this. Casey Newton:
Then can we please just start somewhere else? Frank Walker:
Fine where would you like me to start? Casey Newton:
Well you keep saying the future wasn't always this way, right? Frank Walker:
It wasn't... when I was a kid, the future was... Casey Newton:
