One of them was great, two of them– no, four comments, I think. Two good. Two bad. You know? I think, like you say like I said before, he’s learning. I know his heart’s in the right place. And– DICKERSON: How do you know that? RYAN: Just– I’ve had some candid conversations with him about this. Especially during that time. I’ve had some very candid conversations.
