Like the weirdest, weirdest, most random thing.

I mean, it was also like, it was in the morning.

I'm getting ready to go out on the boat.

We're going to work and we're like, what the hell?

But they came back the next week.

with a more kind of fleshed out idea.

They're like, listen, this isn't like, they're like, this isn't like a joke.

They're like, we've got someone who can help you do small dollar fundraising.

We've got someone who could help get your name in the papers.

And we've got someone who can shoot a launch video, which was the launch video that got made.

And at that point, and because my wife, we have no money.

And so I'm like, I know how this – I know how these campaigns work.

Like where – how is this going to – is this going to happen?

And essentially they were like, look, we're not – like we've got some people who can help early on.

And I'm like, well – so there was this moment where for my wife and I,

We spent a lot of time thinking that.

And ironically, I've also had a theory for years that the United States Senate, because it was set up to be a specific bulwark against working class people to protect elites, that that actually makes it a unique place of power where if we can get a few normal people into the U.S.

And I felt that way for years, never expecting that I was going to be... Right.

You'd be one of the normals.
