It's especially personal to me, having been raised a Catholic, to be in a Christian church this morning as we are approaching Christmas.

And I cannot help but think of what is happening in our city today and how that echoes with how outsiders have been treated for thousands of years.

What the f f*** is this?

How Mary and Joseph themselves were considered outsiders and forced to stay in a barn.

That's what we're getting ready to commemorate as Christians around the world, while all of this fear is happening right here in our town.

Shut up, fackett.

In this world, there's two kinds of people, my friend.

Those with loaded guns and those who dig.

This is Matt Christensen Live.

Hello and welcome to the show. This is Matt Christensen live, a proud duct tape production

for Wednesday, December 17th, 20, 25. Thank you for tuning in. Sitting shotgun tonight.

He's our friend Matthew Mastrenardi.

We appreciate that he goes by Matthew because we've already hit our Matt quota around here.

Welcome back.

Saddle up, partner.

Hey, Matt.

Thanks for having me.

It's good to be back.

Thanks for inviting me.

I feel like I'm talking to a mirror because people said to me, hey, Matt, what happened to your

hair?
