0:39.1

Second hour, Tim Staples will be here, and that's always fun.

0:42.8

First hour, for the first time in studio, after I think probably a decade and a half of appearing on this show, something like that.

0:49.1

But first time in studio with us, and we are delighted to welcome him, Father Tad Beholdchek.

0:55.7

1:44.7

his answers.

1:45.7

But it's a great first starting point, I think.
