Today on the Playbook podcast, it's day one of Donald Trump's ceasefire in Iran.

Remember that?

We'll tell you what we learned from last night's special and

Dasha, are you breathing? Are you relaxed? Are you back to normal?

Dash, it all feels sort of unsurprising in a way after the event, right?

No, it wasn't.
