I taught comedy traffic school for a while.
And that was eight hours on your feet in a hostile crowd because they didn't want to be there.
Right.
And they were sort of angry at you, which is, you know, it's not my fault, but it's still Saturday and we're still at a YMCA in Conejo and you are here all day.
Right.
The sun's shining and you're kind of looking at me.
But...
I got a lot out of just standing there for eight.
I mean, I did this before I had a career, but I knew it would help.
Like, I got that if you can do this, it'll be a good block, building block for what you might end up doing, talking on the radio for two hours or whatever it is.
If you can stand there for eight hours in that hustle crowd and win them over, then you could do a two-hour radio shift, you know?
And I think people need to do a little more of that.
And yeah, even right now, I just went back to doing Broadway for a little while, and I'm probably going to do some more again.
But I did a show called Ann Juliet, and it's eight shows a week.
And I don't have a very big part at all.
But the interesting thing to see is where you have certain people where there are artists and stuff like that try to do those eight shows a week.
And again, learning that kind of stuff, when I did Universal Studios, we were doing five shows a day.
There were 20-minute shows, 20-minute set shows.
But I was in fur, and I was in like 100-degree weather.
So that literally prepared me to do literally outdoor venues with NSYNC.
