  Well, today Ariel turned six. Is that amazing?
• 0:14
  We have been on the air for seven years. During the course of my beginning of
• 0:18
  the Half-Faith, Let It Begin podcast, I found I was going to be a father.
• 0:23
  And then all of a sudden, we were off and running.
• 0:26
  And Ariel was born on this day. But in addition to Ariel's birthday,
• 0:31
  it is my parents' 59th, that's right, 5-9, 59th wedding anniversary. How cool is that?
• 0:40
  And we are celebrating a double whammy today, double whammy.
• 0:44
  So we are asking each and every one of you this morning to just sit back,
• 0:50
  relax, and always remember to love your family, to respect the people that you love.
• 0:56
  My parents are one of my best friends ever, and they've done everything for me to keep me on track.

  And today I'm going to be a rewind episode, and then you're going to hear the day that Ariel was born.
