| 0:11.2 | 2015 called Ba Humbug, the Dalin H. Oaks Christmas card mini-smackdown. |
| 0:16.4 | This is infant's entourage mini-suit. |
| 0:34.4 | So, let's just open. So is this a speaker? Well, no, it's a microphone. Microphone. Yeah. Microphone. |
| 0:41.4 | Microphones are the one you talk into speakers the one you hear from. Right. Okay. I'm back in. Did you see that Dalin H. Oaks post? |
| 0:48.4 | The Dalin H. Oaks post. Yeah. Dalin H. Oaks took to Facebook today. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did see that. What was it about? I don't remember. I saw it. No, he didn't. No, you didn't. No, I did see it. I did see it. |
| 1:02.4 | The War on Christmas. Yeah, I didn't read. I don't think I clicked. Okay. You should have clicked on it. Okay. It was amazing. I was thinking, man, a mouthpiece of the Lord has the medium of Facebook. Yeah. |
| 1:17.4 | This is better than general conference. This could go viral. God has this to say people. And it goes viral. Best missionary tool ever. So he's like, yeah, go to Facebook. |
| 1:29.4 | He pulls it off and this is I'll just read it for bait him. I wish we really needed Bob. Yeah. To do the voice. To do the voice. So he says, this is 10 hours ago. So he's an early riser. Yeah. Yeah. Or at least this Facebook. No, no, no. That's just when he does his morning movement. Because that's when he does his face. Oh, right. He's Facebooking. |
| 1:58.4 | He's Facebooking from the Lord on the pot. Yeah. I like it. So he says, now now I'm going to do Bob doing. Okay. Yeah. A few years ago, I analyzed the Christmas cards. I received it by office and home. There were many. So this was not a small sample. |
| 2:17.4 | I got a lot of Christmas cards just so you know, you might think that is an apostle. I don't get very many. I got a lot. |
| 2:27.4 | Like the Donald Trump of Christmas cards. Significantly, my sample was biased towards religious images and words of the and words. |
| 2:38.4 | By the fact that most of the cards were sent by fellow leaders of members of my faith, I sort of the cards. I received into three groups. |
| 2:49.4 | Did you really? |
| 2:52.4 | Yeah. Did you really took all your cards and thought there's a pattern here. He's like a beautiful mind and sees patterns. I must create a pattern. It's just such a weird bizarre thing to do. Well, and it's so Dalin H. Oaks to me. I did it. |
| 3:07.4 | Into three different things. One of four. Yeah. You don't have a fourth category. Well, and don't ever tell me these guys don't have time for important. |

| 3:51.4 | Master of the universe. Yeah. That's human. Or Elohim. Oh, yeah. That's the original. The original. Yeah. |
| 3:58.4 | Only 24% of the cards I received were of this traditional character, you know, like marriage. |
