| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone. You may know that regularly scheduled episodes of Christmas Past arrive on Mondays and Thursdays this season. |
| 0:11.3 | But I'm here today with a very special bonus episode. And some of you may be hearing my podcast for the first time in this bonus episode. |
| 0:19.7 | So let me quickly say hello. My name is Brian |
