Welcome to the groundbreaking news program that delves into the heart of Mormonism, your weekly window into the unique intersection of news, history, and culture that resonates with the tapestry of Mormonism.

So whether you are tuning in from the heart of Utah or joining us from around the world, your favorite news program starts now where news meets insight and the

stories of our faith unfold. Did I do that right? Yes, Brad. I think you did get it right. I'm not

going to guess how many takes it took, but yeah, that's kind of a disturbing intro. I think you

triggered a lot of people in the comments. I'm kind of reading. So anyway, welcome everybody to the Mormon newscast. It is Monday. It's December 23rd. We've got two days until Christmas. This is just crazy. I'm Rebecca Bibliateca. I am joined by my very festive co-anchors, RFM. How are you today? I'm great. Thank you so much for noticing,

Rebecca. You look absolutely smashing. Are you going out someplace fancy after the show?

I'm not going anywhere. No, I'm not doing a dang thing. I just dress up for you guys and for our

listeners and our viewers.

It was either that or I thought maybe you had a recital. No, I have no recital. Although I do understand that President Nelson gave a little recital this month with a greeting card where he played silent night. Have you seen that bill? And how are you this evening? I'm doing great. And I just saw it recently. And there's not a whole lot of footage of his hands. I'm hopeful that he learned how to play piano, and maybe he did. But the look on his face looked like at some points he was a little curious, what environment he might even be in. So I don't know. Well, he does like to share his talents. We've seen him vacuum. Remember that from a couple years ago? Yeah, vacuuming, candle playing. It's all good. All good. All right. Let's pull up our slides. We have an action pack. Rebecca? Yes, RFM. Yes. Oh, was that a Christmas present from a... It was. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, there. And I don't know if you can see that there.

Well, it says to quote Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 3, Line 92, no.

That's what it says. No. Yes, for my boss and longtime friend, Mr. Real.

I also got Radio Free Mormon a book of Shakespeare insults.

You have it right at the hand.

I'm sure you'll use those.

You know, the one that I think probably leads the list in all of these collections, right?

I do desire we may be better strangers.

I love that. I'm going to use that over the holidays. I think a lot of

our viewers can, right? I do desire that we be better strangers. I like that. Which play is that from?

I think it said as you like it. I love as you like it. That's perfect. All right, let's pull up our

slides and let's get started. We have a lot of fun Christmasy news. And your thumbnail is incredible this time, Bill. I just love that. You get better and better every time. Excellent question. I'm opposed to last time, apparently. No, no, no, no. They're getting better incrementally. I'm just saying this one, he's outdone himself for the holiday. Yeah. Well, Mary Smith missed to both of you.

That's right.

Mary Smith, Miss, to you and yours.
