And they go like, we're going to make four of these.

So they, so at that point you're like, you know, you work out a contract like in a network show or any show, you're going to do one pilot that takes 10 days to shoot.

Right.

And you'll do a contract for five years.

or for three years or whatever, just in case it gets picked up and it's a big hit.

So you have to think, well, if this is a big hit, I wanna make sure that I'm making certain amount of money or get bumps or whatever.

So a lot of times when I was younger, you get a pilot, it was like awesome pilot money and I hope it doesn't get picked up because we all just wanted to make cool movies, right?

It was always a risk, especially when you were younger, because if you got on a TV show when you were younger, it probably would go, right?

You kind of got, you kind of got, it was kind of like, well, if this gets picked up, I'm, I'm out of the theater scene.

I'm out of film scene.

I'm just TV.

Yeah.

So you would do the pilot hoping that it would not get picked up.

Yeah.

That sounds weird to some people, but, um, um, um, but this one was picked up and I was like, okay, all right, I guess I'm going to Puerto Rico for six months.

Okay, when I left there, I was sick.

And, you know, I'm sorry if you... I love Puerto Rico.

I've done two gigs there.

The people are amazing.

The food's outstanding.
