I ain't in charge of the elves, but one's my uncle. They're a dime a dozen. Do you know the other ones? No. Oh, okay. That's in the Denver Mall. We're going to talk to Mac about it here in a bit. If you're in the Denver Mall, go see my uncle.
Yeah. No, that is cool. He's helping out Santa Claus this year. That is a cool.
I did send you one of Santa and his special elf stuff. Oh, my word. There he is, boys. That's the grumpy elf. Actual. Si.
I got questions. Is that you? That's Phil. Oh, wow. Who are the two ladies? It's not Christine and it's not Alicia, so I got a question.
Well, it was a party. We had a Christmas party. Me and Si had to go as Santa Claus and the elves.
I must not have been feeling good that day.
Look at that look.
Yeah. Yeah, why are you mad, Elf? He's probably hungry. Oh, hey.

Chapter 3: What was the twins' reaction to meeting Santa?
Yeah, yeah.
Or XM.
Yeah, or XM. But anyway, it brings up the gospel music. And look, hey, no. No, it didn't do it. That's the message on XM 63. It had some kind of stupid kids thing with a little boat coming down on water. With the sound of like a waterfall. Uh-huh. You know what I'm saying? I'm saying, Christine, I said, what's wrong with this stupid TV? Yeah, I said, well, let me check the sports then.
I put it into my sports channel. That's gone too. So I'm saying, what in the world's going on?
You ain't paid your bill?
Evidently.
Evidently.
Wait, wait. Is that the end of the story? Evidently. My wife gets on the phone. She said, hey, look, y'all are killing my husband. And the lady said, what are you talking about? She said, y'all shut all the things off that he watches. Did they shut off PBS? Oh, yeah, probably. That's a vital part of this podcast. I'm sitting there yelling at this stupid TV screen. Why are you yelling at it?
Because it won't do what I want it to do. It won't bring out my music. It won't bring out my football. You know, well, hey, she got on the phone in about 30 minutes, all this junk and, you know, all the questions, all this, and then finally she said, well, it'll be done by 11.30. So I looked, Christine said, well, it's 11.30, try it. So I, boop, turn on, hit 09963. Do-do-do-do-do.

So that's what you were doing 20 years ago. You were starting CR here, and now you're, what's your technical title? Universal Director?
Yeah, Universal. Global. Global Director. Global Liaison.
Cosmic Director. He's the Cosmic Director. Just in case we find life on Mars, if they do that.

That's going to go the weekend and preach.
And I don't know if you know the number. You probably don't. How many thousands have...
Well, over six million people have gone through a step study in Celebrate Recovery. Over 37,000 churches are using the material.
37,000 churches? Yeah, so quite a few people. Six million. That's pretty impressive. And that's not six million lives that have been touched because then you extrapolate from that.
That's six million people that bought in and said, I'm going to commit to a 12-week study.
