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.

What you need to do to really create a great conversation is one conversation at the table. And that's where, you know, there'll be some simple questions that I'll say. I'll say, you know, what's your middle name? And you'll be amazed at the stories you get from that. But it's about creating vulnerability. So they're like, oh, no one's ever asked me that before. So then they become vulnerable.

And then something as simple as what's the most fun thing you've done recently and what is the most fun thing you're looking forward to? Mm-hmm. And I have gotten into, with those prompts, I've gotten into hours-long discussions on God. I've gotten into hours-long discussions on love. I've gotten into hours-long discussions on anger.

It's actually amazing when people are just asked a question like, what's the most fun thing you've done lately? Well, why would anger come up? Well, actually... they're in a vulnerable place, so it'll just kind of come out of them.

I love it. I think that I've talked to a lot of Austinites who've been here forever. And I'm like, man, you got to hold us accountable. We got to keep this place weird.

Yeah, it's actually, I think it's one of my most powerful life lessons is we have to eat. So it's not like you have a choice, you have to eat. And so what I choose to do is I choose to make it a gift to myself for each meal. And most of the time, the best gift is with friends, with family.
