That was a good one. Oh yeah. Yeah, that was very good. I'm going to put it up there in top three.

Top three. Wow. Yeah. Okay. You know, sometimes conversations, they're just so ephemeral. You can be out with your best buddy and have a lousy conversation one night. And you can run into a total stranger and have a great conversation.

Scott, man, is neither.

He's a guy whose books I've read, who's been on this podcast before.

But he brought the receipts today, man.

I just had a completely engaging conversation with this guy.

And I knew we'd have a good one.

I wasn't expecting a great one. Well'd have a good one. I wasn't expecting

a great one. Well, I'll tell you, I wasn't either just because of you. And I was pretty sure he was

going to be great. And he was. I'll tell you, I sat here like a Christmas ham. That's how I know it was

really good because I didn't feel the need to say anything. It was a really, really good conversation about a lot of topics.

And it was very deep.

And let me just say this about Scott, is that he has thought through these ideas.

Oh, yeah.

He seems a lot like you in that regard to me, that you talk and think through these things before you really,

really want to say it out loud. Well, the difference is, of course, Scott's a retired Green Beret,

who served with incredible distinction for a long time and then ran Operation Pineapple Express

and got a lot of people out of that horrible situation during that incredibly,

I'll just say it, botched withdrawal.

But he is really concerned about the country and he believes that the way through these

current divided times is through a combination of leadership and storytelling.

Maybe just storytelling.
