Like, I just want to do it right, you know?

And it's kind of like people are like, yeah, this is cool.

I'm going to, you know,

keep doing it and see how it goes.

Like that actually turns into building a lot of skills pretty quickly.

So there's something kind of nice about it that like we have this group task and the actual focus is not on like what I'm getting out of this, what I'm supposed to be doing.

It's all on helping the group, helping the moment, helping the scene, being present so that it can be successful kind of requires forgetting yourself in it, which I think is like a really, one of the active ingredients on like why this thing is fun and also like meaningful in a way that doesn't feel like disposable.

Yeah, I'm remembering a guy who used to perform at the theater who was like, he was like one of the worst actors I'd ever seen in my entire life.

But he had this incredible stage charm.

He was just like one of these guys that his action personality lacked that like sensor.

He was just like, it never occurred to him to not say exactly what popped into his brain, even if there was no possible way to justify or explain why that is.

And so it's like on paper, he would be like making the wrong choice, but it always felt joyful and fun.

And it was so fun to play with because you knew it was like authentic and genuine versus someone who's kind of like

and you're probably talking a lot about like the yes hand, right?

Like how can I build off this idea?

So it's like, sometimes someone will start a scene and they're like, dad, I have to go to the potty.

And the other person is like, son, you're 35.

And it gets the kind of cheap laugh where it's kind of like that laugh kind of comes at the expense of your partner.

Like, you know, they don't think they're 35, right?

Yeah, yeah.
