Hi everybody, I'm Dennis Prager. This is my house, my auto, the bulldog, my fire, and this is the fireside chat.

0:08.0

Every week, which is amazing because you have no idea how much I travel, but this is really important to me.

0:15.0

And it is just a chance. Sometimes I just review this. It's a chance for you to get to know me.

0:21.0

What do we stand for at Prager University? What I stand for.

0:26.0

And in the most, almost the most informal way possible. I mean, I'm somewhat formally dressed.

0:32.0

I even explain that on a video. Why, why I wear a jacket and tie for the fireside chat.

0:39.0

And by the way, you should look at past videos. These things are not dated. They're about life. Life issues are indated.

0:48.0

So let's see. I always begin with some comments and they were triggered in part by a question.

0:55.0

So normally I go to the questions after my comments, but I'm going to read a question which will lead to my comments.

And I'm going to embarrass him. He's a terrific guy. I hate to say it because it's going to go to his head.

1:25.0

I'm not going to hear the end of this. But anyway, Rodrigo is a terrific guy.

1:28.0

So we had a Prager U party, Christmas party. We call it a Christmas party, not a holiday party because the vast majority of people there are in fact people who celebrate Christmas.

1:40.0

So I have this bizarre belief that the vast majority of people deserve to be honored in any given situation unless they're evil.

1:50.0

Okay. So anyway, we had a Christmas party and they were raffling off all sorts of prizes. So they announce, okay, and now the prize, you get to visit Dennis during one of his fireside chats.

2:08.0

And I assume a fair number of people there would have liked it after all that they're there. And guess who won?

2:17.0

Rodrigo, is that awesome? I can't tell you. I left so hard. I was choked.

2:25.0

The only two people there for whom it would have meant nothing were Rodrigo and Megan. Rodrigo wanted it.

2:35.0

I can't think of an analogy. That's almost like winning a, if you won a prize to visit your home today. It's not a big prize. You're going anyway.

2:50.0

Anyway, I thought that was hilarious. What is it? Lucky. What is it? Lucky and love. Lucky and what is it? This is some phrase.
