Greetings to you. My name is Brandt. Producer Sherry is here too. Thank you for listening.

And you should know if you're new to the show,

it can take just a little bit of getting used to. We totally understand that. Sherry's got a big

laugh that people react to very positively. And others. And there are others, but not many. And

then I'm very dry. I have a dry sense of humor as my personality.

So it takes four Mondays to get used to the show. That's what someone said.

You're already down one. You get the first Monday taken care of.

Time for Brandt's three things. Three hopefully helpful things that we start with this giant fanfare.

To alert you that it's a feature of the program.

It couldn't stop it.

Why?

Did it explode?

So I have three reasons why.

I'm sure there's more, but I try to simplify everything.

We short could learn from it today, I'm sure.

I'm going to be super oversimplistic here.

Number one, they were joyful in the face of suffering.
