Lewis Howes

and you realize that the second storyteller was a character in the first one and the first storyteller is a character in the second one.

Interesting.

So they're both like characters in the story.

And I did both.

and and i started i was really obsessed with like old stand-up as i was obsessed with richard pryor and the way that he told stories and he would you know he would put like voices in life on like inanimate objects like he you know like the car went

And he would be like, the dog came up and he was like, why don't hang around that too long?

It'll with you.

And he had this way of looking, it was like this sort of monologue way of talking to himself, but embodying different characters.

And for some reason, I had a friend who suggested that maybe I do it a little bit like that.

And then I dove into that.

And I just started working on this play like a lunatic, like madman.

And I did nothing but work on this play.

And I ended up creating 16 different characters that all had a different body language, different movement, different voice, and they would all talk to each other.

But then I would do like slight variations of them based on the different storytellers because it was in two versions.

And then the, you know, the storytellers were also characters.

Wow.

And I started like working on this like a psychopath.

And 10 days in.

And the monologue ended up being like an hour 45.

10 days in, I was completely off book.
