Did you catch yourself ever trying to like market it while you were there? We tried, yeah. I mean, you know, Second City eventually, you know, started doing that. And we started doing all these really interesting grassroots kind of marketing where we just invited all the cab drivers.

And they could come for free so that when they would pick people up at McCarran, they'd be like, you know what show you should go see that we went to go see? You know, because the strip clubs had it down where it's like they get a little kickback when they were bringing the strip club. Us, we didn't have that kind of... We didn't have that access or any of the similar show elements.

And so, yeah, so we literally reached out to them like that. And then, yeah, at some point, SNL asked, you know, I got asked if I want to audition for SNL and sent in a tape and then moved away to New York from Vegas.

You brought up the 10,000 hours of essentially practicing over and over again. How do you practice improv? That's one thing that's never made, like... When you practice music, you're practicing the exact same thing that you're going to play in the show. Improv, you don't know what you're about to do. So how do you prepare and practice to get better at that?

Well, I mean, there's some things like with sports, you know, you work on your ball handling, you work on your shooting form, and then you're improvising the rest of the thing. Yeah, you're setting up plays, but if you're running like a motion offense or some of the plays that Travis likes to do as a play. Talk to him. Talk to him. Just go. Just go. Just go. Just go.

I think you just prepare, you know, it's about getting comfortable on stage, getting comfortable with the people. I mean, there's rules, but you don't really need to follow the rules. I think the rules are there just to give you like, like, you know, some guidance and guidelines. Yeah, exactly. But it's not obviously not.

It's not complete chaos.

It's not complete chaos.

It's not complete chaos.

No, no, no, no. Yeah, exactly. But and then at the end of the day, it's just like getting better at being yourself, getting better at at listening. You know, and to not get in the way of yourself or try to do too much.
