Hello and welcome to Group Chat The Rear's weekly MBA group discussion. We're right now. We have no swagger to us. I guess that's all the time for this crew joining me today from Dallas Jonathan Charx.

First off with three Dallas people on this pod. That's a ridiculous statement. I can't believe you didn't say that.

Well, I was getting to it. I was going to say also from Dallas, Rob Mahoney. Hey guys, happy New Year to all of you.

And also from Dallas. Yeah, yeah, he brought from 10 K to K. No from the athletic. What's up Tim? Hey guys, am I the only one physical well charts is physically and Dallas? Do you live in Dallas technically? Are you suburbs?

I'm living in Highland Park, baby. I'm out here. Yeah, not see not Dallas. I am. That is definitely not. No, no, no, that's rich Dallas. We're drawing lines already. We still support the common man in the city of Dallas.
