Hey, come on, you don't have to be quote unquote on.

I used to think that that was an inducement for a comedian to do the show.

But 90% of them want to be on and want to be funny.

That's the mode they're most comfortable with.

And it is also interesting because as interviewers, it's the only time that you're not asking someone about the thing.

You're just saying, do the thing.

We're not even saying it.

You talk to a musician.

They're probably not, you know, pulling an accordion out and singing for you or anyone who has an idea.

They're not actually, you know, showing you their data or writing the idea, but the comedian is actually doing the thing.

Where they may come in like that, but you crack them.

You ask the good question or show you know their work or in some way communicate to them, well, I don't know why I'm here and I've never heard of this podcast because I don't have the ability to look at the top 20 podcasts in America.

Anyway.

And then your skill, essentially, or whatever, the alchemy of the moment comes through and they brighten up.

And maybe for the audience, it's better to have Brad Williams just like, boom, right out of the gate.

But for you, that must be very satisfying.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, there is that.

There is that, yes.
