where we have every viewpoint. Or we go to Denver, every viewpoint. We went to Chicago, every viewpoint. And the physical presence of someone being right there is, people are just, they're just very different, absolutely different to what they are online. I think we all know the difference between, you know, you send an email to someone and they misunderstand the email, right?

Oh, if I just had talked to the person, it would have been fine. Well, this is now happening at scale, you know, with all of these, what do you call it, trolling or whatever. And I have sat at the bar and I've had – hardcore Trump supporter, and I'm just curious. I'm not a Trump supporter, but tell me more. And it actually draws the conversation out because you're there for an hour or longer.

There's no rush to get the answer. And I think that's a big difference. I've had one time where just a couple months ago, I had someone, I was sitting at the community table. We have a community table in the restaurant. And I didn't know him too well, but he asked me, did I know that 9-11 was a conspiracy and it didn't really happen? It didn't happen, yeah. And I was like, huh.

So actually, I was at 9-11. I mean, I watched it until I was four. I was there, physically there. Allegedly. There's no doubt in my mind. Okay. But I didn't want to interrupt what he had to say. So I let him talk for five minutes, six minutes, seven minutes. And again, you're there for a while, so you're not in a rush to jump in and argue. And then I shared that I was there.

And I think because I had been willing to listen to him, he was willing to listen to me. And I don't know if he changed his mind. He certainly didn't change my mind, but it was actually a pretty cool conversation to kind of get into each other's mind.

Yeah, exactly. I like the term play with them because what you're not trying to do is shut the conversation down. You're also not trying to... Talk down on me. Yeah, exactly. Like, let me just be nice while I totally disagree with this person. You can do that for a few minutes. You can't do that for two hours.

Absolutely. In fact... One of my favorite things to do is you do like a Jeffersonian-style dinner. Let's say five or six people. Sometimes people will break off into individual conversations. That's actually when things break down. So that's when you kind of go back to small talk. Like, oh, I'm stuck next to this guy. I'm just going to do a little small talk.
