I'm Sterling.

God's grace is program sponsorship. If I missed any take a drink since 2nd of June 1981 and for that I am truly, truly grateful.

Where I come from, we kind of applaud.

Now for the newcomer they're not applauding the fact that I've been sober all that long.

They're applauding the fact that alcohol is known as works in the life of one individual for that long.

I'm not taking any credit for that other than I've done what a lot of people do I showed up and this stuff happened.

Things started around 1935 in June and it worked so well that when I got hand 81 it could work on me.

That's what the deal is. So if you knew it alcoholics novice and somebody says it's a Friday day people start clapping.

Hopefully that's what they clap for.

Because I heard a speaker say from a podium that congratulating an alcoholic for the time that he's been sober is like

congratulating a cowboy with hemorrhoids for staying off his horse.

It's sort of a necessary deal. You know what I'm saying?

So that's what this is all I figured I'd do that.

Thank you Schill for asking me out. Thank you Warren for doing your service so that it stayed here long enough for me to show up.

I appreciate that. Thank you Nick for driving me all over the place. I'm a difficult passenger.

Thank you for the show last night. I think the show was great but one of the things I loved the most about the whole concept was

it takes two angels working shifts to take care of it.

Now that gives a whole new meaning to why we were chosen.
