And we're live. Welcome back to the loopcast. I miss you guys.

We missed you. Maybe some people didn't notice, but I've been gone for the last two weeks.

Not to get sappy emotional. I had a daughter. The feeling of holding both my children in my hands is bizarre, surreal.

A rush. It's incredible. So I have a lot of thank yous to give out. Thank you to

Erica for hosting the show while I'm back. Thank you for Josh for staying sharp on the

rants. Thank you to everyone who did the show. I can actually think back to a time when on my first

paternity leave, I only took one week. And I did everything. It's like hard to, I was so focused on

trying to get the show off the ground. Yeah, it was the first month of the show. It made it a lot more

stressful. And I'm actually really glad I did it because the work that we put in now has led to

being joined here with everyone, which is incredible. So I just, I can't thank everyone enough.

I sit and look at my life and it was a really good example, time for me to just take a step

back and gain perspective on what's really important.

And it's fun to come here and talk about all these things.

Don't get me wrong.

It's one of the most exciting times to be an American Catholic. In a long time, I'd have to say, but I got to go home to my two kids and my wife and everyone's

safe and healthy.

And I just, I cannot.

It's hard to put into words how much of a blessing that is.

And to be able to come back and hang out with you guys, three times a week is one of the

favorite parts of my life.

And honestly felt like I missed hanging out with some friends three times a week. So, thank you to everyone. And I appreciate it. Did anything happen while I was gone?

I was really slow. Nothing happened. No, it was crazy because I feel like every show that we did
