Hello there, happy Monday and welcome to another episode of the Chuck Toddcast.

We'll tell you we are in Washington and in the DMV.

We're having some amazing weather.

And I'm telling you, the following is not a coincidence.

Literally, the day, it seemed as if we got rid of our humidity the day Congress left

town.

I mean, use every stupid joke you want to make, but the hot air leaves town and literally

took the hot air with it.

We have had some incredible weather days here in the DMB.

There is nothing like living here in Washington when Congress is not here.

The traffic is better.

The flowers are brighter.

The air is clearer.

Anyway, I'm being, I'm obviously being a little, a little snarky about this, but only a little.

It has been fascinating that once they left,

it is as if the sun came out. And the birds started chirping and the flowers started blooming

and all of those things because it is one of those weird times here in Washington where, you know, people regularly ask me.

So how you doing? I'm like, well, my family's doing great. Personal life's doing great. Works,

you know, even really enjoying this new business ventures and all of this stuff. But oh my God,

the country's in trouble. And that's like, it's this like this nagging thing.

It's like, you know, I wish I were losing, you know, I'm glad not to have personal challenges.

But it means I'm losing sleep over what's happening to our country collectively.
