Bobby's in a reflective mood as he reaches the 12 month mark of going home and sharing how he's working on breaking down the final wall of self delusion.

Notes From The Week (NFTW) - Spinning laps with Host Bobby and Co-host JD. As Bobby gets closer to the door, JD asks Bobby if he has any possessions he'd like to keep, and are there any that he'd be embarrassed about if we knew. The answer wasn't a surprise for anyone who knows him. Also, we're a bit leery with what the media puts out there before they have all the facts. When Bobby was arrested the media was in a rush to grab headlines which created a false narrative. A week later they corrected what they said, but by then the damage was done. So our family is skeptical of flash headlines and wait for the facts. Last, discussions on how wealth and power distort reality, being forced to pick a side, and not since the industrial revolution has society been at odds with new technology.
