As you remember, Lindsey and I did not exactly get off to the best of starts. 
Running against each other back in 2016, Lindsey said something rather nasty on his flight to becoming the next president of the United States. 
So, naturally, I did something that I shouldn't have done. 
I shared his personal cell phone number with the millions of people that happened to be watching that particular day as I made a speech, a very important speech. 
His phone exploded. 
He said, "I had that number for 20 years." 
His phone totally, I don't know what he did with it, but it exploded. 
That was the beginning of a friendship in a way. 
But, it was Lindsey who had the last laugh because while I blew up his phone all for one day, we became great friends and Lindsey did not stop calling me for the next 10 years. 
It was not easy.
