On The Verge is back! The show returns Friday, April 27th, 2012, with two very special guests: 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.

Motorola is sponsoring the show and they are giving away 50 tickets. That means no waiting in line for 50 people! All you have to do is email Motorola@theverge.com, reply to a confirmation email, and pick up your ticket before 6:30PM. Just like at the box office, it's one ticket per person.

UPDATE: Even though Motorola gave away 50 tickets there are still 200 seats available. If you're in New York you should come to the show!

The show starts at 7:00PM at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, located at 199 Chambers Street (between Greenwich and West Streets) in New York City.
