So they just think I'm making a joke.

Insecure overachiever.

Does that mean you're overachieving because you're insecure of where you're at?

Yes.

Yeah.

Well, congrats.

It's just the British version.

No, it sounded like one.

Damn it.

So I don't know what you're saying.

I know this isn't necessary because I get it, but what I'm picturing is when you twist your ankle and you do rehab, you're on a board with a ball at the bottom and you're just constantly, like if it's too left, you got to go right and you got to do this.

Yes.

Okay.

I don't know if nervous is the best word, but it's the best way I can think of to explain the feeling.

It's a feeling of nervousness, but it's almost like...

the space between what am I going to do and I've been doing this many times and I always feel this way, I know it'll be fine, right?

And my mom says to me sometimes before a show, at least she used to, now she said, be funny, just like a thing to say.

And I would always, I say, and now I say, I'll try, I mean, maybe, but the only thing that's in my control is to be present.

And it sounds corny, but I really say that to myself because if I go in with the responsibility of being funny, what if I'm not?

and I very well might not be, and if that's what I need to be, then I might fail.
