1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hey, I just wanted to pop on here for a

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,480
second because I know the Holidays, although they're a wonderful

3
00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:13,039
time for many, can be very hard for some. Not

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,120
everybody has a loved one to be near during this time,

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,519
and everything you look at is a reminder of that.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,480
Some are missing loved ones that have passed. It's just

7
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:27,679
a reminder that not all of us are so lucky.

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,799
You know. Not all of us have the means, and

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,840
many during this time lose the will. So I just

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,880
wanted to pop on here for a second and say

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,320
that if you're having a hard time this Christmas, you're

12
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:48,359
most definitely not alone. By no means are you alone.

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,320
I don't know if that helps. I don't know if

14
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:53,200
any of this helps. But if you want to call

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,320
in to our call in line, please feel free. We

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,200
have that set up twenty four to seven. You can

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,679
call in from anywhere. You can skype to sword and

18
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:06,599
scale all one word, or call in nine to five

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,079
to four eight eight nine sixty eight five four and

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,280
that's a plus one in the front of that. If

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,359
you're outside the US. I listen to every single one

22
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:17,799
of those phone calls. By the way, I may not

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,079
be able to return them all. But I do listen

24
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:27,159
every single call, so you're not alone. And if you

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,280
think you've passed some sort of arbitrary line and you

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,439
think you may need a little help, a little real help,

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,640
please call the crisis Lifeline. Just dial nine eight eight

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,680
on your phone. Please don't be alone this Christmas. You

29
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:50,200
don't have to be for the rest of you. We'll

30
00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:53,760
be back before you return your last Christmas present. And

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,799
no that's not the very next day, you weird Canadians.

32
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:01,640
Episode ten of Sword and Scale Television will be about

33
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,040
a young woman named Egypt Covington. Don't look that up.

34
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:07,319
You're going to ruin it, but I promise you this,

35
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:11,319
it's easily the best work we've ever done, and you're

36
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:13,319
not going to want to miss it. Then we'll have

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,960
a plus episode on January fifth, followed by a regular

38
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:21,080
episode the following week for PLUS members, and then that'll

39
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:27,039
kick off our season twelve schedule. So sit tight, we'll

40
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,000
be back before you know it. I know there's a

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,080
lot of people out there, believe it or not, that

42
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:35,439
are comforted by the stupid sound of my voice and

43
00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:38,759
the stupid stories we tell here and us going away

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,280
for a little while during this time is not easy,

45
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:45,879
but I promise you you are not alone. You're not

46
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,479
You're simply not. So we'll see you soon. Stay safe

47
00:02:54,479 --> 00:03:50,120
and happy holidays.
