Make sure to follow and rate our show with five stars.

Welcome back, one and all to the damage report. I'm John Adirola and generally Thursdays of the days when I just, I spread my wings and I do a solo show. But I don't know if it's coming through like auditorially. But my voice is still not a hundred percent. So I didn't want to go solo today. We were very lucky.

One of the nicest guys in news chose to join me on today's show. Jackson, how's it going?

I did, man. I chose to be here with my boy John. Anytime I can be here and we can nerd out,

you know what I'm saying, and just have a good time is a good day for me. So you know, you said,

you normally have your wings.

You don't get to be Icarus today. Maybe next, maybe next Thursday you can do that.

But it's good to be here. Yeah, maybe by that point I won't be coughing anymore. I'm mostly recovered.

Like it's not like a desperate need to cough, but I'm still coughing quite a bit.

I'll try to keep it for the breaks.

But anyway, regardless, thank you for being here.

We got a great rundown, I think, to talk about today.

Donald Trump has said a lot of things that are difficult to understand,

difficult to know if he's joking or if his brain is really rotting as fast as I often hint that it is.

And we've got I think the ultimate example of it today.

It's really, it's one for the ages.

But we have that, we have epic corruption.

We have Gilean Maxwell, loving her current life and perhaps about to love it even more,

thanks to the power of the pardon.

We've got here in LA, Spencer Pratt being exposed for a massive lie about how populist he supposedly is.

We've got Doug Bergam's low energy. We've got a nationwide fight against data centers.
