Well, several years ago, I was speaking to about 150 high school students in a town that my friend

Jordan lived in.

And so I asked my friend Jordan if he wanted to come and bring his golden retriever,

whose name was Boone, and join me on the stage.

And he agreed to do it.

And I love it because his dog Boone is basically

like programmed like a robot and so it was just a really awesome thing to have the two of them

on the stage and so here's what I asked Jordan I said Jordan do you think that you could take Boone

to the back of this room with about 150 high school students do you think that you could tell

Boone to sit and then do you think that you could tell Boone to sit?

And then do you think he would stay seated long enough for you then to get on stage?

And if everyone were to remain quiet and remain still, do you think you could tell him to come?

And he would come.

And Jordan was like, yes, definitely that would happen.

And so it happened just like he said it would.

He took Boone to the back he put up his

hand he said Boone sit and then Jordan made a walk up to the stage and he just continued to hold

up his hand and then he said boom come and while everyone was completely silent without moving

Boone walked straight up the center aisle up on the stage right next to Jordan. I was like, okay, that's cool.
