Welcome to the show.

I read your lips. You said welcome to. I had all these

plans for the intro and now it just feels done. How are you doing? I'm doing great. Don't be

hard on yourself. It's still big news Wednesday and we get it. Okay, come on. You don't have to be

perfect to still be great. You're great.

Okay, well, thank you. I appreciate that. Well, I wanted to do a couple of things. I wanted to welcome you to the show. I wanted to announce that it's my wife's birthday.

I don't think she's watching right now. But somewhere, not too far away, it's her birthday and so I'm very excited about that. I wanted to wish her a little happy birthday. And I also just want to point out, I don't know if it's like, it's my home camera, my home lighting, or my lack of sleep. It's really depressing when you're about to start a show like this. And then you look at yourself and you're like, God damn, I look unhealthy. I gotta start taking care of myself. I look so tired. I want to start covering up more of my face to hide some of that.

That helps a little bit. So anyway, that's what's going on in the background of all of this.

We also have news though, Sharon. I don't know if you know this.

There's a whole scandal involving elite pedophiles and it seems to be being covered up. So we're gonna be touching on that. The economy is not doing well. But you know what is doing well? We'll get to this in the aftermath. Bad Bunny. And so we're talking, we've talked more about bad bunny this week than the rest of my entire life combined, but with good reason.

But anyway, are you excited about the news? How has the news been treating you?

Yeah, it's going okay. And might I say, I am new to this bunny. I do love this funny. I think he's adorable.

And you don't look that bad. You really don't.

It could be a little lighting, but it's kind of like if you were a sailor who was out to sea without fresh vegetables for a couple months.

But it's just a little, it's a color a little bit, but you actually look kind of fine.

Well, I mean, you're fine. You look fine, okay? Just turned on the lighting. Yeah. So first of all,

that comment wildly accurate and also devastating. You look like a vitamin-deprived sailor.

It's not what I meant. The sailor would get sun. Some confused. Anyway, yeah, with that said, we should probably just get into this thing.

And hopefully the horror that is our politics will distract from the horror that is my face.

So anyway, we are going to talk about all this. Hit the like button, share the stream, send us your comments, your tweets or super chats.
