[APPLAUSE]

00:00:03.304 --> 00:00:05.470 align:middle line:90%


00:00:05.470 --> 00:00:07.210 align:middle line:90%
Thank you, Simmons.

00:00:07.210 --> 00:00:12.550 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to assume that
you all can hear me.

00:00:12.550 --> 00:00:15.610 align:middle line:84%
As he alluded, I
can't really see you.

00:00:15.610 --> 00:00:23.440 align:middle line:84%
All I can see is my own face on
the screen and the background

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:28.090 align:middle line:84%
here, which you might
be wondering about.

00:00:28.090 --> 00:00:32.229 align:middle line:84%
It is true, what you
have heard is true.

00:00:32.229 --> 00:00:35.350 align:middle line:90%
That's a poem reference.

00:00:35.350 --> 00:00:37.570 align:middle line:84%
I bet you, many of
you can get to-- what

00:00:37.570 --> 00:00:39.550 align:middle line:90%
you have heard is true.

00:00:39.550 --> 00:00:45.230 align:middle line:84%
Despite Alaska
Airlines' best efforts,

00:00:45.230 --> 00:00:48.520 align:middle line:90%
I am with you here tonight.

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.560 align:middle line:90%
Well, actually I'm here.

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.490 align:middle line:90%
And I think--

00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:58.030 align:middle line:84%
I was actually-- after white
knuckling it over a mountain

00:00:58.030 --> 00:01:04.060 align:middle line:84%
pass where it's 24 degrees,
and there's a whiteout,

00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:08.660 align:middle line:84%
and there are semi trucks
flashing, and piling,

00:01:08.660 --> 00:01:11.060 align:middle line:84%
and jackknifing
here and there, I

00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:14.300 align:middle line:84%
thought I was going to be
home and be able to join you.

00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:22.260 align:middle line:84%
But as it turns out, because
of going a little more slowly,

00:01:22.260 --> 00:01:24.990 align:middle line:84%
I have pulled off
in this little town.

00:01:24.990 --> 00:01:31.240 align:middle line:84%
And I'm using this
back room that--

00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:35.940 align:middle line:84%
I don't know about you, but
it gives me the Overlook Hotel

00:01:35.940 --> 00:01:37.410 align:middle line:90%
vibes.

00:01:37.410 --> 00:01:41.340 align:middle line:84%
You may be familiar with a
movie called The Shining.

00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:47.130 align:middle line:84%
And in fact, if you look at
that photograph over there,

00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:50.970 align:middle line:84%
you might be able to spot
Jack Torrance, a.k.a.

00:01:50.970 --> 00:01:52.620 align:middle line:90%
Jack Nicholson.

00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:59.410 align:middle line:84%
And the favorite
drink here is red rum.

00:01:59.410 --> 00:02:02.190 align:middle line:90%


00:02:02.190 --> 00:02:06.330 align:middle line:84%
So I don't know if we're
going to stay tonight or keep

00:02:06.330 --> 00:02:07.840 align:middle line:90%
driving.

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.500 align:middle line:90%
I'm torn.

00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:10.000 align:middle line:90%
