You know, so like, for instance, I would say on a highway scene, I said, I don't like the highway because it's too boring on being on a highway, but that's the fastest way to get to LA is to take an interstate.

But the back roads are more interesting looking.

And they said, well, what are you going to do?

That's the way you got to go.

I said, well, what about if there's an accident on the highway?

And then if he sees there's an accident, he's not getting back in the car.

And so...

You're just talking premise.

Yeah.

But here's the key to it.

Tom has never been thought of as somebody to, you know, ad lib.

But if you take a segment like that, it's all ad lib.

I just said to Dustin, you want to get out of the car and you're not getting in the car until you get off the highway.

And that's it.

And then Tom, you're trying to deal with him and then you're going to deal with the police and you're telling you got to get him into the car.

And that was it.

So we would just shoot it and put it together.

So that's how it basically came about because of the writer's strike, and then you're just trying to fill in the scenes as you go along.

This is a nice spot here.

But how did you get the idea to do a podcast?
