Sure.

Maybe they don't agree with me on everything.

And that's a good thing, right?

So it creates this friction and this interest.

And it forced people to kind of say, all right, well, it turns out that I don't have to agree with everything to work with somebody.

And then out of those meetings, they'd have to go out and start knocking on doors.

And that's the ultimate meetup because now you're forcing yourself to talk to strangers who definitely don't agree with you on stuff.

But there was that sense of human interaction that gave people a sense of how somebody could be a good guy, but also have blind spots.

Somebody could be, you know, seem like a real jerk.

And yet there's this redeeming quality.

It's the same sense that you get living in a neighborhood, right?

Which is like, you go to the soccer game and all the parents are sitting around and

some guy or gal may not

be your cup of tea.

But then you see them hug their kid and you go, oh, you know what?

He's all right.

And the whole reeling thing, right?

Yes, yes, yes.
