Welcome back one and all to another episode of the damage worth me, John Aderola, and good news joined, perhaps, to had a little bit of much-needed

levity, lighten things up a little bit. You'll see him. He'll pop, Master Brani. How's it going?

Welcome back. John, there's nothing funny about any of this. No, unfortunately, there generally isn't.

But you're great. We love having you on right before we went live.

You did some stuff to your shot in your lighting, and it's just, it's coming through amazing.

You look great.

I feel younger, John.

I feel younger.

It's all about the filters.

Yeah.

Well, I learned on The Daily Show yesterday that apparently the key to it is laughter, okay? So,

we're going to try for that. I'm playing a lot of, like, comedy specials on YouTube on repeat,

so that I don't die. But here's a little bit more good news, everybody. We are now only

898 shows until the next presidential election. So creep closer with every day.

But anyway, Maz, great to have you here.

And we are going to have a little bit of light stuff, a little bit of fun stuff.

There is quite a bit of significant and important.

And some might say horrifying news to get to too, though.

So prepare yourself, okay?

Let's go. And everybody out there, thank you for being here.

Thank you for your support, showing up, talking in the chat, those of you who become subscribers

and members, we really do appreciate that.
