Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the damage report. I'm Jai DeRolla. Brett is here because

it's Friday. Hey, Brett, how's it going?

You know, it's going to be fine. Current, you know, we have each other.

What more do we need, Juhan?

Yeah, no, I don't know. Why did everything fall apart in like the last hour?

Like the news has been pretty good. You know, I'm sort of depressed about some members of

Congress and how I have to talk about it all the time. But things are like looking up, right?

And I was thinking recently, Brett, you've been doing Fridays on the damage work for very long time,

and you used to be like the co-executive producer of the damage report. So you were here for a long time.

I cannot even conceive of when we used to be here in the morning together producing, and then we'd

sit at a desk and we'd have breaks and we'd wear pants and it was all professional. I just can't.

I can't even, especially because the show was an hour earlier. People don't remember that.

When the show started, it started at 9 a.m. Pacific.

That scene, and I remember being like, I mean, it was a journey every morning.

It was literally like that scene in the movie where someone smacks

themselves back and forth in the face. And it's like, get it, get it, man.

And there was a lot of shaking each other. Yeah. And there was like me walking outside.

In order to wake up, I needed to be outside in the cold, dark 5 a.m. world.

Just like that's crazy. Get screws together.

You know what I miss is having Ben Manquit's on the show.

So let's say the show starts at 9. So it's 9.03. I'm in my first segment and I'm like,

hmm, I wonder if he's going to walk in at some point. That was always fun.
