I sometimes wonder if the things I say during the being broadcast, but we'll never know.

Anyway, hey everybody, I'm John Adlerola and it is indeed, Big News Wednesday.

Howdy, howdy, one and all. I'm back, still here. Hopefully the audio sounds good. Let's find out together.

But what I know for sure is that we are as always blessed on this Wednesday with Sharon.

Sharon Reid, how's going? It's going. Things got crazy when you were away. I don't know how much
