The Whoa, hold it down, hold it down.

Hold it down, everybody.

Good evening.

Good evening.

And welcome to another episode of Mormonism live.

How are you doing, Mr. Real?

I am doing so good, Mr. Radio Free Mormon.

I've got my internet up and running, 300 megabytes up, 300 megabytes megabytes down fiber internet i think the days of

glitching are behind us okay famous last words i'm going to knock on wood here okay hopefully this

will hold up i'm really excited about tonight show i'm excited about today do you know why i'm

excited about today mr real tell me about why you're excited about today. Because it was eight

years ago today on a night just like tonight when the first episode of Radio Free Mormon hit the air.

I feel like I was born on that day, which makes me eight years old today. I feel like I should be

getting baptized or something. Yeah, let's just not hold you

under a little too long, though. We want to get, we want to get at least another eight years out of you.

Okay. Well, hopefully, I'm celebrating the eighth year because I got no idea if I'm going to make it to 10.

Oh, I think so. You are a rock star, my friend. I was just telling you before we started the show that you, by like episode four, you already had a significant following. People gravitated towards your content immediately.

You're so kind. And everybody, I'm very appreciative. I posted a little thing on my Facebook page about how I thanked everybody for the fantastic ride. Hopefully it's just beginning. By the way, eight years, I did the math, which is always a dangerous thing when I do math. But I did the math. That's one eighth of my life that I've been doing Radio Free Mormon. Yeah. Look at that. Sign significant. When you're as old as I am, one eighth adds up. Yeah. And, you know, the moniker you have at the beginning, I think, is classic. The content that you've covered over those eight years, I think, has been phenomenally beneficial to this community. You've just done so much and really deeply appreciate

what the work that you put in to create what you have. Thank you so much. I love Radio Free Mormon.

I love the name. I came very, very close to retitling it, Radio Free Latter-day Saint.

You didn't want it to be a victory for Satan. Yes, and actually I never came close to that. I never even considered that until right now when I'm making a joke about doing it. By the way, can we play the first few seconds from the very first episode? There it is, Radio Free Mormon, number one, zero zero one. The Great Mormon History coverup was the title.

You see the date there was October 23rd, 2016.
