almost make it a stand-up special or a documentary of those stand-up moments.

So instead of doing what a normal movie does, which is just they get their close-up, there's no crowd there, they add the laughs after, if we're doing a sequence where...

Pete's bombing.

You know, I'll just, you know, say, do your set.

He's like, what if they laugh?

I go, well, we'll do a second take and do it again.

And the second time they just won't laugh.

We won't tell the crowd anything.

Right.

Or there was a scene where Artie and Bill Burr are being interviewed by Joy Behar.

Right.

And we wanted to capture what the 92nd Street Y Q&A panel felt like.

So instead of scripting it, we had a line or two.

We said, let's just let him talk for a half an hour.

We'll find a little piece of it.

And I think that's why it's more authentic.

We're really doing it.

If there's a clip of Greg Fitzsimmons doing stand-up, we just shot his set for a half an hour and then grabbed a minute or two.

Right.

It all has that feel of this is exactly what it is versus the sort of CGI world.
