Welcome, one and all, you thought we might not be here. You might think that we were going to be taking the holidays off or whatever.

And I guess technically we sort of are going to. We're not going to be doing a show tomorrow or the day after.

Although we will be releasing content to you on the YouTube channel then. But no, we're here.

There's just too much news to skip out just because the holidays are approaching. here, but much more importantly, we're joined by one of my favorite people to break down the news with,

the return of Garrison Hayes. Garrison, how's it going? It's going well, man. It's great to be here,

as always. I appreciate spending some time with these wonderful people behind these screens.

Yes, I thought at first you were going to be talking, you were going to say the wonderful people

in these stories. And I was thinking, is there anyone who's wonderful in these stories?

I mean, some of the people striking Amazon are pretty cool.

But other than that, not a lot of heroes today in the news, except for you for being here.

So thank you.

Thank you.

Love your presence.

You have a very calm approach that I think now more than ever we need.

So thank you for that. And we will be jumping into the big news of the day in just a moment.

But I want to welcome back everyone. Thank you for those of you watching live. Those of you listen

on the podcast, I know this is a difficult time for the news. We strive every morning to

come, we just dig through everything to find a few little nuggets that'll make it fun or

extra interesting for you and sometimes we succeed. I will leave it to all of you to decide

if we did that today. But anyway, hit the like button, share the stream. We're still giving

that blue-up and gift cards. So send in your comments and hopefully we can give out one of those.

It's out.
