You're Oh, Good evening everyone. Good evening everyone. And you too, Mr. Reel, how are you doing?

I'm doing great, I'm a Merry Christmas to you. Do you know what night it is?

It is Christmas Eve. It is Christmas Eve and we're sharing it together and with a bunch of our friends both here in the

studio as well as across this fruited plain and points east, west, north, and south.

Yeah, this is going to be a lot of fun. You put quite a cast together for tonight and I'm super excited to hear the cool stories that these folks have.

Well, I just want you to know I was overwhelmed with the response I got from sending out requests for people realizing it's Christmas Eve,

realizing there's all sorts of other kinds of things that you might have planned. So many people showed up and we're going to have them on tonight. They are

going to be speaking for around three or four minutes and hopefully we can

adhere to that as closely as we can otherwise we might be here

until Santa comes down the chimney.

But thank you so much for being here.
