Happy Easter Wednesday and welcome to Loopcast. We are Tomless today. It's just me and Mercer.

It's going to be a great couple of hours here. Mercer, did you want to comment on?

I mean, it's okay. It's going to be great. It's good. I mean, we like to, we like to tease Tom, but, you know, he does, he does a good job of keeping things moving along and

he's got some crazy opinions too we love well that's what keeps things spicy here so but we're

going to have a good time today we have a lot to cover as you see from the title. We have a ceasefire-ish in Iran.

So we're going to talk all about what we know so far, a lot of what we don't know, which

seems to be the ongoing pattern with Trump and Iran, and do some speculation on that.

We also have a ton of stories coming out of the U.S. itself, so a little domestic

potpourri for you all. We have a jobs report that was shockingly good, and we have what is going on in

Virginia, and why is Abigail Spanberger breaking all the wrong records there? We also had the

birthright citizenship court case, went to the Supreme Court. We had

the oral arguments last week. And it didn't not go so well for the Trump administration.

Guys, we went around the moon. The Pope likes peeps. It's going to be a fantastic Monday. We have good

news in Twilight Zone. That's true then. That news thing about him not let

hit the Pope likes the peep sugar. Dude, I have video. I have video evidence for you here and you

can decide if it's AI generated or not. I'm going with credulity. I'm going to believe it. American Pope,

American peeps. Yep. It's going to be awesome. No offense. They're terrible. Actually, I have a funny story. You're only good for the microwave. Yeah. Becoming enormous, you know. My son in his Easter basket, we gave him one of those because they're so beautiful in the store, this like tall thing of like different peeps candy on a stick. He took one bite of it and he's like, this is disgusting. He like tossed it.

Never like marshmallow much of any kind, honestly. It's only good in Rice Krispy bars. That's about

what's your go-to like Easter candy then, Josh? Did you imbibe a little and indulge a little this weekend?

I love, you know, chocolate and peanut butter. And I'm happy to report that actually

Hershey's announced this last week that they're going to bring back the old recipe for

Reese's peanut butter cups after the grandson of Reese's like attacked the company for chintzing out on it.
