But like, because I've done this so long, you're, you know, not that everybody knows it, but I learned quickly, like, it was like, all right,

Now I know I really worked on it to like, I'll pull myself back into the story or joke that I'm telling.

And I got to like visualize that story.

And so now I've worked on it a lot because it was happening.

And then you just start going, look, if that happens, I'm not going to be able to get to the level that I want to get at.

I got to be able to pull myself.

So now you can just catch yourself.

And so now I'm pretty good about like, you know, it still happens, but I can...

I can catch it.

Yeah, get the train back on the rails.

predetermining like what you thought of coming on the stage with i don't know if that makes sense or yeah yeah you can you're you're stumble upon some new stuff and it's stuff that might not work ever again but it worked in that moment and because sometimes you want it to work again like you can have a joke work and then like you're trying to see what we say is like you see if that joke can travel and then you go to like another city and it's

people hate you for the joke.

And then you're like, man, last night, dude, they borderline carried me out.

And you, but it just wasn't the same.

You're like, I guess I said something wrong, but it's, you know, you can like just get in there and sometimes, yeah, you can kind of hit that.

So when I do a show now I'm in the arena, I'm in the round.

So I'm in the middle.

So you're pacing.

And so like, there's definitely times where you could, um,

be in it, and then you got to find where you're at, you know, because you're in the middle of the round.
