| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome to you. We're born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo. That's me. I'm Father John. I'm here as always with my frozen sister, Mary Guilfoy. Wow, it is cold here in Detroit, isn't it? |
| 0:12.7 | I would think we're in the frozen tundra. We were just talking about how cold it is up here in the podcast room. And I think if we had gloves and earmuffs, they'd be on. |
