Welcome back one and all to the damage board. I'm John Ida Rola. It is an auspicious Thursday here in the TDR studios. And I'm ready to talk some

news. You ready for it? I saw in the audience, the Mighty Decoy says, I am so ready to hear all the

fun light stories John covers today. Prepare to be disappointed. No, I think we have a couple that are on the

lighter side. Some of the stories that I think you will enjoy, you won't enjoy because they're light, but

sometimes it's good to see consequences finally being meted out to bad people.

So we should have a little bit of that.

That should be fun.

What we definitely have is Francesca Fiorentini.

How's it going, Francesca?

I read the news today, oh boy.

John Ida Rola doesn't listen to music.

I got that that's a reference to something.

I don't know what.

You know, funny enough, I'll talk about it in the social break, but I actually,

I occasionally get into these like, I don't know it in the social break, but I actually, I occasionally get into these,

like, I don't know, like nostalgic sort of, probably depression. It's probably depression

that I'm experiencing, but it manifests with a lot of nostalgia. And I have a lot of, I have a

lot of songs I like to play during those periods. And so I'll talk about that in the social break.

But anyway. I just had, I've just had the Beatles in my head all morning, and it's that,

you know, awesome song that now I can't remember. I don't know that song. But anyway,

thank you for being here. By the way, as I am, according to the audience, slumming it, because I'm

just wearing our ceasefire t-shirt here.
