Welcome to the Andy Staples show.

It is a national championship preview edition.

We are at the mercy of Liv Wasserman, though.

Let's explain this.

Ari, you're here, but at any moment, a crying baby could

disrupt the show in the show. Nay, in the show. I'm struggling a little bit, Andy, because

I don't know if people care a lot about what's going on in my life right now, but my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law got COVID.

And she was in our house and exposed the baby to COVID.

And then now my fiance is on her deathbed because she's just in really bad shape.

And the baby has a ton of congestion.

So I had to go to the doctor's office.

And this is her first cold.

And we don't know if it's COVID or not.

But I had my parents flying in to watch the baby while we went to California.

So the trip got canceled.

My parents came.

Then they found out that the baby might be the one that's giving COVID so they

had to leave my house so it's just like me in a guest room looking at a baby monitor praying to

God that we can get through this 35 or 45 minutes without her waking up while also terrified

of the first cold also being COVID because I don't know how you were with your

first cold with your baby but like I'm doing the Frida thing you know where you suck the snod

out of the nose and you know I'm doing all that sort of stuff much luckier simpler more innocent
