Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. There is nothing like gaming to bring people together, and there's nothing like seeing the impact that gaming can have on people, whether it's a first playthrough of one of the all-time greats, the excitement of a new console, or your first gaming convention.
The joys are endless, and the impact gaming can have on people cannot be understated. Today, we're diving into the gift of gaming and the impact it can have on people. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh. And joining me, as Buddy the Elf would say, he's a cotton-headed ninny muggins. And his motto is, I just like to smile. Smiling's my favorite. It's Ryan.
Josh, just so you know, that gum over there, it's not free candy. Dang it, too late.
And joining us, he doesn't smell like beef and cheese. And if gaming had a Santa Claus, this might just be him because he can be found spreading gaming cheer throughout the world.
It's Ian. I'm sorry, I don't have a cool Buddy the Elf quote for you, but just super pumped to be here, guys.
Oh, that's okay. That's okay. You're the gaming Santa Claus. And now, right now, this is where people are going, wait, what? Wait, Santa? Santa? I know him! I know him! You're not Santa.
You sit on a throne of lies.
Oh, man. Okay. Well, thank you for joining the Buddy the Elf podcast. Yeah, right. No, Ian, we are super excited to have you. And as much as we have teased this little you being the gaming Santa, why don't you... Well, actually, I'll just say it.
So to introduce you to the listeners, you lead the gaming division at the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which, oh my goodness, what an incredible thing that instantly just makes me smile. So tell us a little bit more about yourself and about what you do at Make-A-Wish.
