you know, when kids need to go to bed, they suddenly turn into dehydrated philosophers.

0:05.0

And they want to expound on the great principles and questions of the day.

Hmm. Hello, everyone. Thanks for tuning in. I'm your host, Tom Bagassick. And today I'm joined by

Erica Ahern and Josh Mercer from the Loop Team. And to start off, did either of your homes get

raided by the FBI this week?

0:44.2

I mean, technically no, but I am fighting with the government right now. So a little tax issue going on. Okay. Well, you could be next. We all could be next. So let's get into the top story.
