We would like to welcome Randy Gardner, Dorothy Hamill, and Ty Babylonians to our show.

Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Good morning. And happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thank you very much. And I apologize, Ty, because I was in a hurry and I accidentally called you Tina Babelina. I heard that. Earlier. You got it right. Thank you. Our birthday cake is very impressive. Oh, she's looking at your birthday cake. You did good. Thank you very much. Yeah.
