  • George, welcome back to the program.

  • Thanks, David.

  • It's always good to be on it.

  • Will you continue to add to your leading number of podcasts that you've been on, continue to be the number one guest on the show?

  • So it says something.

  • Yeah, Well, I really love it and I do worry that people might catch up to me.

  • So you give me an excuse to write controversial things just so I can.

  • Get on, get back on the show.

  • Well, we have some great news stories to discuss today.

  • We're going to be doing what we've done in the past.

  • We each bring in several items to discuss.

  • Time permitting, we'll go through three each.

  • We may only make it through a couple because I know today's show is loaded with some hot takes from George and myself.

  • And George, let's start with you.
