And it's like, what I want the most out of someone is not for them to be angry or scared.

I want them to be confused.

That bewildered state is where I think a lot of the comedy comes.

You know what I mean?

And then the other thing is that we made...

That uncomfortableness be a hallmark of the show.

So we knew right away, well, I don't want to do that.

And so what if I don't want to do that?

And it's like, well, then you could say no, and then you'll lose.

But it's funny in the failure.

So we made sure that we were able to be like, well, that's too much for me.

We're also the laugh track.

And also, the punishment we made early on, you cannot say no.

So you don't know what your fate's going to be.

And you don't want that fate.

So that's the motivator to push through something like that.

But also, it's like, that really never goes away.

People ask me, like, oh, you've been doing it, like, we're 14 years on the air, 12 seasons, 300 plus episodes.

Do you get, I have a thicker skin than in the beginning, but this next person that walks up to me that I don't know is still a wild card.

He's a truck driver.
