0:27.7	My name is Jeff, I'm an alcoholic. And I'm beyond delighted to be here. This has just
0:34.0	been a wonderful experience. I want to thank Pixie, and I want to thank Jack. In particular,
0:41.4	I want to thank Mark for being just such a wonderful host today. I just feel like royalty.

1:54.8	Mark picked me up from the airport and we picked up Maria and Matt and we went around and drove
2:02.1	around this magnificent day and this magnificent place where you guys all live. And it's really just
2:08.2	been, and we had dinner with some wonderful people, some members of this group. And it's just been
2:13.5	a surreal experience. I mean, things like this don't happen to people like where I came from
