Welcome to Zach to the Future. I'm your co-host, Dashel Driscoll, joined today by the only guy who taped the Miss U-Haul beauty pageant, Mark Paul Gossler. Hello, Mark Paul.

Hello, Dashel. I loved that that's what Zach has in his private collection. Mark Paul, before we get started today on a very exciting, every episode's exciting, but today especially, I thought it would be fun for the listeners to know we delayed recording one full day this week so you could go on a family ski trip. So you could be a real, like the dad you were last, the dad you had last week on Save By the Bell. That was you in real life this week. I thought that's fun.
