Hello, and welcome to Catholic Dance with Live. I'm Psych Hill at your host. And we got

0:20.6

a very nice Friday show for you. Second hour, Jimmy will be here for us. Kind of a bonus

0:24.9

Jimmy hour. I feel bad yesterday. I was like, I was one hour with Jimmy this week. So we

0:29.3

will remedy that second hour. And we'll have Jimmy. So if there are questions, maybe there's

0:34.0

people who we left on the line yesterday who wanted to talk to Jimmy. Second hour will

0:38.5

be a perfect opportunity for that. And we try to do some things that are fun and thoughtful

0:43.9

and interesting on Fridays, because we know there's people stuck in that Friday traffic

0:48.6
