he would give me little pieces of advice.

When you're going out to do those field pieces, he's like, let me tell you, when I was doing my first one, he said, you're gonna have to hang your soul up at the door.

And then when you're done, spend your per diem, have a couple of cocktails.

Meaning like you're going to need to get a little drunk after these, you know, because they were they were brutal often, depending on who you were interviewing.

But that I liked being in the studio more than I liked doing those because they were really kind of taxing, especially when we were doing them.

We only had one camera.

You definitely you and the producer are writing out your ideal story that you want to come back with.

It never really happens that way, which is kind of the magic of it.

You come back with whatever you got.

But I mean, the hard part, the challenging part about it was we only had one camera at the time.

That was all they could afford.

So I would be interviewing you and the camera would be on you.

And I'd be asking you these very real questions.

And then I'd be asking you some of the daily show-ish questions.

And everybody likes The Daily Show.

Nobody thinks they're gonna be the bad guy, right?

And then the camera would turn around on me and I would re-ask all those questions just so we have them.

But I would do them in a more pointed way like, you knew exactly what you were doing when the blah, blah, blah.

And they would go pale.

And they would sometimes stop the interview and be like, wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
