Good evening, everyone, and happy Christmas Eve. And welcome to the third annual Radio Free

Warming Christmas Eve special. Can you believe it, the third annual special? Bill, how are you doing?

Excellent. Year number three, and I'm grateful to have been part of all three of them. And this is going to be

such a fun night. Congrats to you for doing this. I think it's such a big thing and such a joy for people to

be able to enjoy Radio Free Mormon's third annual Christmas special. Yep. And you know what really

what humbles me? Not much. But what humbles me is this is the most special night of the year in my opinion it's a

close you know Halloween's a close runner up but okay this is the most special night and you know

people have families that's Christmas Eve and the number of people who leap to come on the show

to be here to wish all the listeners a Merry Christmas.

And we want to wish a Merry Christmas to everybody in our viewing audience, but especially

we have this show for those who may be alone or without loved ones or particular loved ones

this year. This could be the first year.

I don't know.

Or it could be the, you know, for a long time.

But that's not a good situation to be in.

And at the end of the show, I'll tell you a story about why it is that I connect so much with that.

And why it is that we have this show.

And hopefully we have a good time and we make a connection and we say

god bless us everyone amen all right well if you don't have anything else to add we can start

with this cavalcade of stars let's do it all right so first up on the list is a fellow that needs no introduction.

But his name is right there anyway.

Britt Medcalf, how are you doing?
