Welcome one and all to the damage port. I am John Iderola and this is my last day before the holidays.

We got big stuff planned for Wednesday.

It's gonna be awesome, but I'll leave that to Yaz and to Sharon and to the awesome team we have here.

I'm gonna be gone.

So I'm gonna fit in as much news and commentary as I can and joining me to help do so is Adrian.

Lawrence back in the studio, well not technically in the studio. She's on Lawrence back in the studio. Well, not technically in the

studio. She's on the screen in the studio. That's something. Hey, Adrian, how's it going?

That is something. It has gone really good. I am enjoying this short week. That's for sure.

I know. Short weeks are the best. It is just the best. We should have more of them. It's almost as if we should be pushing

for a four-day work week. God, heaven forbid. Heaven forbid. You give people some leisure time.

That's not what it's about. We were sort of talking before the show about how everything is

set up to produce good worker bees. But I want reader bees. I want people to have time to read a good book.

It was a thing we used to do as a people, not so much anymore. And I'm going to try not to doom spiral,

particularly about what I've read about young boys in reading. I'm going to try not to focus on that,

but it's going to kind of be in the back of my mind as we talk about all these topics now, because it's apparently an apocalypse out there when it comes to young boys in reading.

out there when it comes to young boys in reading. But anyway, very glad to have you here,

because we have a lot to talk about, including some stuff that bears on your expertise as a lawyer.

So as always, we will lean on you. But we have that and we have tariffs and we have cameo and

we have Texas being even more awful in Texas than it has previously been. And don't worry

though, we will have some fun in the aftermath as well. So there's a lot to talk about.

And I would love to give a blue-up and gift card. So send us your
