All right, what's up guys? Welcome friends in the room friends in Fort

Orth and El Paso and Houston and Tulsa and Ohio and Iowa and Florida and

wherever else you are joining us and especially welcome fellow Dallas

sites home with the Mavs and not our strongest start so far but hey we're

continuing this series vice and virtue I'm gonna start with a story that will

give us some traction when I moved to Dallas from the University of Texas A&M

I uh... man it gets me every time didn't see that coming love it I moved into a

backhouse for a little bit and then eventually moved into a friend of mine had a

house in Lakewood which is an area in Dallas and me and another guy moved in with

him and it was like it just felt like adulting for the first time in a while we

weren't in an apartment or a dorm or you know like a backhouse or garage

apartment we were in kind of like your own home with a yard you got a mo and

just responsibilities and one of the things inside of the house was it had a

fireplace it wasn't a wood fireplace it was a gas fire or gas log fireplace and

and I will you know why I say that in a second and so I moved to the house it was

kind of winter time and I was in grad school at the time so on one of the you

know earlier nights that I was there I decided what everyone else it was

had plans that evening and I had to study for an exam that was kind of so I

stood home was reading and decided I'm gonna light a fire it's cold outside

light this gas log fireplace so gas logs don't produce smoke like you know a

wood fire would do so you just turn it on it's pretty awesome turn it on light

it and welcome to 2018 so I light the fire I'm reading a book I end up
