Hello one and all to a glorious big news Wednesday.

0:22.6

Welcome back one and all. I'm John and Rola. Sharon's already here. Sharon's on screen.

0:35.7

Sharon Reid, how's it going? Oh, it's going great. It's going great. I enjoy our pre-show discussions. Yeah, we're just chit-chat about technology and stuff. Producer Ash and I were talking about the travails of young children and everything. We always had fun on these little calls. But I'm glad to have you here to break down the news of which we have a lot, including good news.

0:54.6

We have some bad developments in Iran. Where do we talking about Maga versus Miss Rachel?

1:00.1

My friend, no big deal, just my buddy or whatever, Miss Rachel, as I exaggeratedly say.

1:06.9

But anyway, lots of good news. And I'm excited to get your perspective, Sharon. So thank you.

1:11.6

Thanks for having me. It's always good to be here on Big News Wednesdays. I'm sure the show is going to be spot on. It won't disappoint.

1:18.6

Yeah. Oh, really fast, I should mention, I said this yesterday on the show. I did Alex Michelson's CNN show two nights ago.

1:25.6

1:39.5

He was waiting in the green room to come on and talk about the David killing case that's developing in LA, which is yeah. That's, uh, it's gross. Is he on suicide watch? Is he not? I mean, I was, I don't know, I was on TMZ before we got here, but the whole thing is disgusting and I feel for her family. Yeah, that's, I don't even like to think about it, honestly. But anyway, so we do have a lot that we're going to be talking about. So definitely everybody, hit the like button, share the stream, send us your comments, your tweets, super chats, all that stuff. Maybe you're in a self-blip and gift card. And with all that said, Sharon, you ready to jump into some good news? Ready, let's do it. Okay, oh sorry, one last thing. Members hang out this Thursday, 30 minutes after the close of the aftermath, be there or be

presumably somewhere else, but you won't be aftermath, be there or be presumably somewhere else.

2:19.6

But you won't be there, so you'll miss out on it. And do you really want that?
