And if you could hit, well, 30% might be a little low. But if you could be funny 50% of the time, you would have a great year. That's a good batting average. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I took that to heart, but yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, you're screwed, man. Sounds like you gotta figure it out. Yeah. Yeah. No, you know, I... The thing that I always lived by is because, you know, I, I was like, look, I'm going to meet, I'm going to, I'm going to watch people perform who I think I'm funnier than. I'm also going to watch people who are way funnier than me.

And I'm going to have to be okay with that. But, but the one thing no one will ever beat me and beat me at is how hard I commit to something. Sure. You've got to commit sketch wise to whatever the premise is. Yeah. And, and just go for it. And if you lock in that way, all the apprehension will just melt away. And, and then the audience will be on your side too, because they'll just be like,

And hopefully it's a funny premise to begin with. But even if it's not, they'll just be like, God, Jason is going for it. I'm on his side. And that's all you need to worry about. That's brilliant.

Yeah. We had a similar, we had, I remember Jackie Chan posted with us. What? He didn't read English. So we couldn't use the cue card. So we had to do the whole thing memorized. And he was on fire. But I think there are varying degrees. I remember one of our best hosts was Derek Jeter. He just committed to everything, regardless of how stupid we put him. And...

And I'm like, Shaq, everyone's making fun of me. And he's like, come with me, Will. And we walked to home base there, and he picked me up in his arms, and we proceeded to sing a duet called No One's Gonna Hurt My Little Man.
