Oh my God, I'm nervous for these guys. I come out, I talk to the audience for five minutes, just talk to them. And then I invite the people I bring on my show, which is three people who I change up per show. And then we all talk to the audience. And then I do the interview. And now everybody's fucking calm. The audience knows what's going to happen. They're relaxed. We're relaxed.

And then we do the show. And it always helps. Is there a version of that for you guys? Or you have to go out blasting with like a great joke?

You got to go out blank. It's scary. I think, so for me, when I started doing stand-up, I was way more nervous for stand-up than I was for improv. Really? Way more, because you have to work. And then you're saying, this is what I found funny. I find this so funny that I've been working on it for weeks. And now I'm going to show it to you. Let's see what you think.

For me, it's like I listen to something. Now on the spot and everybody in the audience knows on the spot, I'm going to try to make a beautiful scene that makes you laugh. But it's like we all know what's happening on the spot and we're trying to find it. You guys are like, I've been working on this. This is the funniest thing I can think of right now.

And if they say no, it almost feels like. But again, anytime I talk to a stand-up, it's the same thing. They're like, I'm not going to go on stage with nothing. That's crazy. By the way, you're looking so much more. This is amazing. Do you feel yourself doing it? It's all nose. You're looking at my nose. You can't look at my eyes. No.

Well, a little, but you can never know as good as the audience. But no, I'm saying for you guys, who's the person you go to to be like, is this funny? Is it each other? We text each other sometimes. Not just is this funny, but like.

Yes. Although when you go tour, people are seeing you for you guys. Yeah. So you can do your style whenever. That's why it's interesting when you did that roast. That's not your audience. No. People there may like you guys, but they're not there just to see you. That probably is more nerve-wracking.
