| 0:06.5 | Very good. Thank you for joining us. It's good to be with you again. Yeah, it's an honor and pleasure. If anyone doesn't know, we recorded the breakfast show this morning. |
| 0:14.8 | And we talked about the early church. A little bit. It's been a bit. It's been a while. Yeah. Oh, our original conversation like three years ago or something. Yeah, it's been years.
