Hey, lovely listeners, our lovely Real Crime Profile listeners. We are so happy to be jumping on to say Happy Holiday to you all. It's Laura.

And Jim. And Jim. And Happy Holidays.

And Buddy and Bee, we're all here to say hello to you all and to wish you just a safe and sane holiday.

We know that it has been a year, right, you guys?

It has. It has.

It really has. It's been a tough year for so many people. And yet there's been so many heroes and shareers doing incredible work and incredible jobs that we wanted to give a shout out to.

So I think this has been a very difficult year for all of us.

Difficult to connect with family and friends and loved ones.

So much of our interactions have been reduced to audio and video. And that's tough for everyone.

So we wanted to say to everyone, every one of our listeners who have stuck with us during these very difficult times that we really appreciate.

We honor your loyalty. And we send our sincerest wishes for a happy and healthy holidays and a joyful new year.

Please.

Exactly. And we love you not just because you listen to us, which is wonderful, but you also engage with us.

You know, it's such a community that that community that we have on on Facebook and Twitter and Insta and you send us so many private messages sharing just your stories and the things that have happened to you.

I mean, we are so honored that you trust us with that information and just want to let us know and hopefully it helps you to just release that and talk about it.

And we will tell you what you want to tell us things that you've never told anyone else and and wow, what a privilege it is for us to.

Absolutely.

Yeah. And there's also people I got a message just last week from somebody who's starting a new job. Well, as a volunteer at the courts, being a domestic violence advocate.

And I had heard that I was listening to real crime profile inspired her and all the work around domestic violence and coercive control. So she felt she should be an activist and be an advocate.

And I was, I said to that, so incredible. It's one of the best messages that I've received. So we know you're making a difference and we're so happy that you tune in and listen to us every week as we talk about real lives, real cases and try and help people as much as we can.

And Miss Beatrice has been especially groomed to make her full debut on real crime profile today, knowing that she's going to see Buddy, Mr. Badfah.
