I felt like all I really had to do to get her was turn on the proverbial charm.

Unfortunately, it became abundantly clear early on that she was more bemused than amused by my antics.

I tried everything.

I pulled out all the stops.

I started with some physical slapstick stuff that was kind of a specialty of mine at the time.

When that didn't work, I moved on to kind of some more cerebral things, topical references, nothing.

Nothing was landing at all.

And everything really hit a low point this one time out in the playground.

We were all out there.

I was doing some bits.

Things were working.

I felt like everything was fine.

I was getting laughs.

And then when it kind of died down, Renika says in front of everybody, so do you think you're funny?

And I said, I said, well, yeah.

And she says, huh.

You know, I just don't think you're quite as funny as you think you are.

I mean, which is like, ouch, you know, but A, she was right, let's be real.

B, who even says that though?
