And we're live. Welcome back to the Loopcast. It's Tom Erica and Josh.

Loopcast brought to you by the Loop. Every Catholic American's favorite morning newsletter.

Good morning, everyone. It's good to be back with you guys live. We had the,

Happy New Year, the non-live episode on Wednesday. And then what are the, what are the streets calling Erica and Josh combo?

Loopcast, someone had another suggestion for what I'm good enough. Yeah. Middy loopcast. Tell me another suggestion for what that is.

Yeah.

Middy loopcast.

Oh, man, but kind of first time talking to both Erica and Josh, I'm not sure if anyone else is dealing with them coming off of a little bit of a sickness.

And it was one of those fun ones where both parents get sick and the kids are sick.

So a humble suggestion to the pre-kana powers that be,

if we could possibly simulate having both of you be sick

and just give you a sick child to see how you handle that,

it'll really tell a lot for the successful marriage.

Fortunately, you know, my wife, I think, passed with flying colors,

but man, brutal.

And Erica, I sent Erica my holiday reading.

I'm reading a biography on George Washington.

Yeah.

He had smallpox and dysentery multiple times before, I think he had like six diseases

before 27 and four bullet holes in his, is his hat. So I'm counting my blessings.

You know, I just took some some aspirin or whatever, you know, and just kind of kept it pushing.

But George Washington was dealing with some different stuff back in the day.
