| 0:08.4 | We're in the middle of a discussion right now with my guests. |
| 0:11.3 | We're going to bring you in, and then we're going to kind of go back and introduce them. |
| 0:15.0 | We have Michael McLean, Jeff McLean, and Dr. Brad Reedy to talk about a new book that they've written supporting and Jeff |
| 0:22.5 | talking about his stories being a gay Latterty Saint. But right now we're in the middle of |
| 0:26.7 | discussion with my wife talking about being at women's conference. She actually spoke there |
| 0:32.5 | and she heard this song that Michael McLean performed there for the first time. And that's what we want to bring into this discussion right now. |
