Welcome to Potsay America. I'm John Favreau. I'm John Loveett and I'm Ben Rhodes.

0:04.7

Tommy will be out for a little while because as you may have seen from his posts, on Thursday,

0:12.5

he and Hannah lost their baby girl at just 24 weeks. It is an unfathomable tragedy. It is

0:21.2

an especially cruel thing to happen to two people who have fought so hard to be parents.

0:26.6

Emily and I are devastated for our best friends. It is difficult for me to even talk about,

0:36.4

1:45.9

the world to them. Okay guys, Tommy we love you, Hannah we love you, we're thinking about you.

1:55.6

We won't let Ben replace you. It's not loud. It's hard as he tries.

2:04.9

they heard the news sent a note to me and said you know I've never met Tommy but he's been in my
