Hi everybody, I'm Brian, I'm an alcoholic. So it's 824. So remember that later on when I ask what time I started, all right? I'll ask Lance. I'm really grateful to be here.

And they said, well what brought you here? And I said, well I was asked to speak and she said, oh when are you speaking? And I said, Sunday morning. And my son goes, he's not very good so you probably don't even need to show up. And he was deadpan, he just kind of, they didn't know what to think of him.
