And welcome with a long, strange trip it's been.

But we are here at the end of all things known as 2021.

It is part one of our two part perennial year in review.

And I believe gentlemen, it's the third or fourth year in a row.

We've said, and we've never had a year like this.

All right.

Greetings.

My name is Steve Dase.

Merry Christmas. Happy New Year to all of you.

Todd Erzen is here as well as Aaron McIntyre.

As you can see, we have all come dressed for the occasion because if the answer is us

hadn't already been pre-determined and selected as the vision for the show this year.

It certainly could have gone to let's go Brandon.

Amen. Amen to that.
