Good morning everyone and welcome to another episode here at the damage report. A big Thursday

show with a big time guest who hasn't been on and what feels like three or four years.

I guess it hasn't been quite that long, but welcome back to the show. Michael Schor.

So good to be back on the damage report. John, it hasn't been three or four years.

It seems like it to me though. And I, you know, it's telling you guys before we started,

it just feels so good to be back with you guys. It's coming home. So I think it's my isolation.

You have, by the way, I see the chat and something to ours was, Michael!

I blew the sticker. I said, yeah, Michael! That's awesome. No, we're glad to have you back.

As I was, so we did the power panel together last Friday and I mentioned to people,

like you never know what percentage of the audience has been watching for more than a month or more

than a year, whatever. So if they've only been watching for like a year, they might not be that

familiar with you on the network, but obviously you've been on the network as long as there's been

a network. So it is very much you coming home, so I'm glad you're here. One day later than there's

been a network. I was, I started on day two. Was it really? Yeah, it was in Jank's apartment.

Back and I guess it was, I want to say 2001. Is that 2002? No, 2002, I think.

Or what? Apartments in 2001. They had apartments back then, yeah. You wouldn't believe it, John.

Have you always felt kind of left behind by not being there for that first big day?

Yeah, they've filled me in on what happened. Do I feel like I still feel like the new guy?

That's really what it is. Yeah, that's someday. You'll catch up. But anyway, we're glad to have you

here. So you've been off working. So what is the experience been like covering the last wave

of the pandemic? The one we're launching into an insurrection and inauguration and not doing any,

like not being on TYT. So what was that experience like? It was, you know, it was obviously unique here.
