We've got two very special guests for tonight's episode of On The Verge: Tony Fadell and Chris Grant. Tony is a former Apple exec who is now the CEO of Nest. We've covered Nest a bunch here at The Verge and we're excited to talk to Tony about his history at Apple, and what Nest can do to keep our podcast room cooler. It gets really hot in there, it's actually becoming a problem.
Chris is going to talk about Polygon. In case you hadn't heard, Polygon is the new name for Vox Games. Don't be surprised if Chris and Josh skip the interview and just play Mario Kart 64 on that giant screen behind the desk.
We're also excited to have Animal Style as a special musical guest along with the usual news, videos, and hilarious interludes.
