I got all confused there for a second. I thought it was a Tuesday afternoon. But it is a Wednesday afternoon. I know because Tuesday was a really good day for us. And I want to share that. Joe Heschmeyer is our guest, and you are welcome to call. I guess the word get out that

Joe Heschmeier is our guest. There's only two lines open at the moment, but if you've got a

question about anything having to do with the Catholic faith, you're welcome to call 888-3187-884. Whether

you're Catholic or not, as a matter of fact, whether you have any faith at all or not, whether you

are curious about the Catholic Church or whether you might want to pose a challenge to the Catholic faith.

You're welcome here. 8883187-884, AAA-3187-884.

Yesterday was day numero uno of our annual spring pledge drive. And I told you I'd come

back and tell you how we did yesterday. And both hours, we had a $20,000 match each hour yesterday.

And both hours, we were able to meet the match. So I just want to say thank you

for getting us started, and we're very, very grateful. The way it works around here, as you

probably have heard me say before, is we fund for the next three months. So for the last 30 years,

we've come to you each quarter and said, hey, we need the money to keep going for the next three months. And always over those, it's not quite 30 years, but roughly 30 years, folks have responded and said, yes, we will support you. So let me tell you about what we're going to be this hour. And then I'll bring Joe Heschmeyer in. All the lines are full for Joe as the show goes on. If you want to call in 8883-1-8-8-8-4. I wanted to give out that number one last time because I'm going to be giving the other number for most of the show. Here's how it works. We've got a $20,000 match. A very generous donor has given us $20,000 if we can raise $20,000 this hour. So if we raise 10, the 10 gets matched. If we raise 15, the 15 gets matched. If we raise the full 20, two things happen. One, we reach our goal for the hour. That's our goal. We know where we need to be in order to be headed towards being fully funded for the next three months.

That's what we're looking for is $20,000 this hour.

The other thing we do is we get the other $20,000.

We use up all that match.

888-291-8,000 is the number to call.

888-291-8,000.

That will get you straight into our offices here, where our colleagues are waiting

on the line for you right now. No calls yet, so you can be the first one today. Any gift in any

amount, up to $20,000 matched dollar for dollar. 888-291,000. But we've also got two other matches
