That is such a moving story.

My God, I love that story so much.

And I've heard that too, right?

Like he'll remember like your cousin's wedding happened and how did that go?

And, you know, most of us don't have that kind of memory.

So I don't think we need to feel bad if we don't.

But charismatic people like Bill Clinton, he's really like a prodigy.

They make you feel like you're the only person in the room, like you're the only person in the world when you're talking to them.

You know, there's a story, and again, I may not even get it right, and it may be apocryphal, but it's a story about when Gladstone was running for prime minister against Disraeli, and a woman sat next to each of them in sort of consecutive fundraising nights.

And after she sat next to Gladstone, she was asked, oh, how was your dinner?

And she said, oh, it was such a lovely dinner.

I had such a lovely time I had with him.

He's just the cleverest man in all of England.

And then the next night she sits next to Disraeli and the same question.

And they ask her, how was your night?

And she said, oh, that was such a wonderful time with him.

I feel like I'm the cleverest woman in all of England.

Right?

And that is exactly what Bill Clinton and charismatic people do.

Instead of making them feel good about themselves, they make you feel good about yourself.
