Thank you so much.
Yeah, it was such a pleasure talking to you, and I'm thrilled to be here in your home now.
You know, so much of teaching...
we think of teaching as inspiration and these big, you know, connection moments.
And that's not to put that down, but a lot of teaching, any teacher will tell you is clear communication, clear expectations, and having a vision of what you want the class to do.
So like for the small stuff too, right?
Like how do I get tissues in the classroom?
There has to be a procedure for that.
Otherwise the kids make up their own procedure.
That is not how you want it to go.
So, so much of that, like precision and vision, I think has really carried through to all the other things I've done.
Yeah, it's really interesting to think about because I would say it's actually not just in my teaching and in my comedy, but in pretty much all communication, at least anything that I'm...
planning ahead of time and going to do in any sort of performative way, I use the same trick, which is I think about like a magician.
They do a ton of work to make the work that they're doing invisible.
And for me as a comedian, the work that you do is to make it seem like you are saying something for the very first time.
But actually, you've said it 100 times before.
And the reason you've done that is you're getting to the way that gets the audience to understand what you're saying and to take a journey with you as quickly as possible.
And that was the exact same thing that I was trying to do in the classroom is how do I, in the shortest amount of time, get the students to understand what is happening and then get them to take this journey with me?
This was my favorite lesson to teach every year.
And it was a lesson about the Declaration of Independence.
