| 0:00.0 | Good evening Dallas. Hello everyone. My name is Garrett. If we've never met before, if we've |
| 0:23.2 | never spent time together before, I want to welcome everybody who's tuning in, not in this exact |
| 0:26.7 | room, whether you're in Fort Worth or Houston or somewhere else in all the creation. So glad you guys |
| 0:30.9 | are going to be a part of this tonight. Hey, I want to start asking you this question. Have you ever had a |
| 0:34.4 | moment in life that seemed to throw you into a little bit of a pit? I'm not talking about a mirror |
| 0:40.3 | problem. I'm talking about a problem that you get stuck in and you can't seem to climb your way |
| 0:44.6 | out of. Like it graduates from a problem to an all-out pit. You ever had that moment? Let me tell you |
| 0:49.0 | about the first one I had when I came on staff. So I became a resident here in the fall of 2013. |
| 0:54.5 | So almost five years ago. And as soon as I became a resident, just a few weeks later was the biggest |
| 0:59.0 | porch event of the year. It's called Launcher Tree. I'm not sure if any of you have heard of it or |

| 1:11.8 | you really want to do right. You don't want to mess anything up. You don't want anybody to think |
| 1:15.4 | you're not pulling your way. That's kind of the mentality. Make a good first impression. That's kind |
| 1:19.2 | of the mentality that I'm coming into this event with. And David approached me and we did not know |
| 1:24.3 | each other well at this point. And he just said, hey, you have one job. In this opening session, |
| 1:30.2 | you are the balloon drop guy. And I looked up in the room and in this room where there were going to |
| 1:35.8 | be 1,000 young adults, many of you seated right there in that room. There's this huge net of balloons, |
| 1:41.9 | a tube of balloons going across the room from left to right. And he says, hey, at the end of the |
| 1:46.4 | national anthem, it's just like a game day theme. And so there's going to be a national anthem |
| 1:49.4 | going off and confetti and all this stuff. He said at the end of the national anthem, okay? |
| 1:54.6 | Like somewhere around, you know, or the land of the brave, you know, or land of the free. Sorry, |
