Hey everybody and welcome back to the damage report. Today is 2026 or this year is still 2026.

Obviously a great year. I think we can all agree on that. We started with a war. Now we're being invaded.

I have to assume that at some point between now and Saturday, Clarence Thomas is going to declare his

retirement. That's like the only thing remaining. But with anyway, with that put out into the universe,

I welcome to the show, The One Bright, Shining Light in 2026.

Yaz is here. Yes, and Lee Kahn has it going.

Hi, that's a lot of pressure you just put on me, but thank you. I appreciate it.

No, it's good to have you and your naturally voluminous

hair. I'm referencing a conversation we were having for the show on with us today. You've missed
