Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, we proudly bring to you

Mormonism

Shut up and sit down

Well, so there we are. I wanted to wait for the applause to come to an end. How are you doing RFL?

I am just fine. Thank you. I just let the audience in on a little secret that we decided that since it's your show tonight,

that you get to have the opening word and I was going to zip the lip until you said something.

I'm happy to say I honored that promise.

Look at that and I'll do it. I'll do it on the back end.

So when it's your episode, this is a family show bill.

Yeah, that's sorry. So folks, we're really excited. I think this is going to be a great episode.

I think RFM found another golden nugget tonight that will come into play and I'm excited to dive into that with all of you.

Folks, we are doing Mormonism live. We've been doing this now for a few years.

If there's any chance, by the way, thank you to everybody who supports this program.

It is deeply meaningful that we have so much in donations that we can financially pay RFM, pay myself essentially and be able to do this work to a large extent at this point now full time.

And so thank you to all of you who support this program. If you would like to support the program, we would love that.

We could certainly use more donations. And if you go to Mormonismlive.org and click the donate button.

A five or ten dollar donation is great. If you could do five bucks a month or ten bucks a month.

That's we love recurring donations. Those are those are also very helpful to know kind of what's coming in the future.

And I think you're going to see based on things like the episodes we've done in the past and tonight's episode that I think these conversations are well worth.

Our understanding of Mormonism and what it has been and what it is. And also to understand for the leaders to understand that we're going to to some degree hold them accountable by the things that they say.

And I think that's a big deal as well. And so RFM anything from you before we jump into tonight's episode.

Yes. In a limited sense, we are upholding the highest standards of the press in holding and keeping leaders accountable for what they say and do.
