Well, welcome everybody to the Damage Report here on a fantastic Friday. I'm back.

Did you miss me? Yes, yes. I'm everywhere. John is still out. Some of you are like John.

Please make peace in the Middle East. And I guarantee you when he comes back, war will stop.

But for now, it's Brett Erlich and I who are just going to have different proxy wars

That name is up for grabs. But everybody, you know what to do on a Friday, right? You like the

stream. You send us your super chats. We're going to read your comments in our social breaks.

And thank you so much in advance. Of course, for all the members of the damage report. Love you.
