And I think I will not forget it for a very long period of time.

Was that when we taped that episode?

Yes.

Yes.

That might also be true, although we'll not forget for a long time.

I'm not so sure.

Sorry, Felix.

It's right after spring break and I taught one of the first year classes in the MBA program and we were allowed to take off the masks.

And I thought, well, you know, no big deal.

I know everyone.

We've had conversations for the first part of the semester.

And then taking off the masks was just absolutely magical.

People laughed, people responded differently to each other's comments.

And it was just this really wonderful reminder of just how rich human communication is outside what we say to each other.

And one of the things that was interesting for me was I completely underestimated it.

It had such a diminished functional view of what conversation in the classroom is.

And then it just reminded me of how totally wrong I was about what it means and the meaning that gets transported among people who like each other and cheer each other on and want to have a good time.

I got goosebumps right now.

Do you have one more, young me?

It's fabulous, yes.
