Let's say use an absolute for goodness sake.
I mean, that would be terrible.
They all of a sudden in the middle of your monologue, somebody grabs onto an always, and that's all they think about.
That's
I mean, how many times have you been in a conversation with somebody and all of a sudden you're thinking, man, I wonder what's for lunch today.
And you just have thoughts, distracted thoughts that are normal and are going to happen.

They're just looking for a captive audience, really.
And sometimes I give them one because I might be the only person they've seen and I got to talk to in a few days.
And so they just need to kind of get it all out.
