I'm John Eiterola. You know who's joining me? The same guy who always joins me for Fridays,

almost.

Like, how's it going? I am so happy to be here, John. I just fixed my white balance issue

on the camera. It looks good. I feel good. How do you feel today, John?

I like your background lighting. It's very colorful, very holiday.

Yep, in the fire, which would have been appropriate, but I see you want to plug your show.

This isn't your show. Okay, this is my show. Stop plugging your show.

It's so much easier to find that monitor image than to find the correct 10-hour fireplace

loop on YouTube. Well, there's a lot of them if you wanted. I think Netflix had a loop that you

could put on for Christmas that was the Witcher fire. It's going on. It's a cinematic universe at

this point. Anyway, I'm glad that you're here because we have a lot to talk about, including,

not just day four of the speaker battle. Everyone knows we're going to talk about that, but

things are actually shifting and we need to take stock of that shift. We're also going to evaluate

George Santos's first week as almost a congressman. That's going to be fun. We've got a horrible

racist perspective terrorists saying themselves on fire, instant karma. I enjoy it. We're going to

look back a little bit on January 6th, two years out, and we will of course have our garbage people

of the week. So definitely stay tuned for that at the close of the aftermath. For now, though,

if you wouldn't mind hitting the like button, sharing the stream, that would be great.

And if you want to send us any comments, sweet super chats, all that will respond as we go,

but with all that said, Brett, are you ready to start this show? Let's do it, John.

I thought you were going to make a reference to Pippin, but maybe.

It's perfectly good. The B block is particularly good.
