No, so where was it? How did you... Were there any nerves as you entered the building? I can't believe this. I've just realised you and I are completely different. Thank God.
Fuck.
How do you get your confidence?
I've never really considered it confidence, really.
No, it is. It absolutely is.
What did I think? Well, I had nerves just generally about the show, but not walking through the door, because I'd sort of met everyone before.
I want to get your confidence when it comes to comedy and performing. I don't know how you have it.

Well, yeah, because, like, I didn't think yesterday was that pressurised because it's rehearsal and it's about... You can sort of get it wrong. I think Friday will be terrifying.
God, I just... Even rehearsal, I'd feel like people are going, oh, he's choosing to do that, is he? Oh... Oh, God, imagine if Coogan was in here. He'd do it like this. Yeah, but we can't get Coogan. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about if I walked in the room.

Chapter 5: What role does rehearsal play in their preparation?
Off the back of the cockfields.
People say fantastic, Bobbitt. No, it looks really, yeah, I don't know. I was thinking about because I'm going to Spain, I know. I was thinking, will I be comfortable? I was trying to work out what, because you know when you're on holiday.
Right, if I had your body, I'd be so chuffed.
All I've done is lost a bit of weight. I've still got a really odd shape. But my hips are wide. But anyway, I was trying to work out how much I would have my top off.
Hang on, let's go back to not going out and your fucking top off.
Okay. Anyway, in the shower, I was thinking about our discussion yesterday. And I was like, I think it made me go the other way. And I was going, I'm going to do some things that I want to do more. things like, I always turn, I turn things down and I was like, oh, I might do them.
Right. Sorry, could you say that again? None of it. Did you not? You want to come out of your comfort bubble a bit more?

Chapter 6: How do they perceive silence in conversations?
Oh, right, so you were sort of, you were unimpressed with the way I think about stuff.
No, I wasn't unimpressed, I was like... Well, I was. I was thinking about how these things can affect you, you know, like people sort of going... And I was like, right, I'm going to do the opposite.
Okay, so someone wrote to me, having heard the pod yesterday, and said, oh, do this and it will help. And I actually thought, I don't want to. What about if you really actually don't want to? I feel life as a writer is, it's just when opportunities come, I go, oh, that might be a good experience. Oh, I'll earn a bit of money then. Yeah, exactly. But maybe I don't want to.
Yeah, well, that's fine, isn't it? Yeah.
Yeah, but it's making sure you don't want to. I'd rather you go, oh, you might kind of go... As long as you're not feeling like you're missing out on anything, then it gives a shit.
Yeah, I don't think I am. I mean, if Spielberg came along and said, we want you to play some baddie in a... Yeah, what would you do? Well, I'd have to fucking go for it. I can't turn that.
But I think... Why? Why can you not turn that down?
Because it's too much for a brilliant experience. Meeting the great man.
So how far down? What's your point?

Chapter 7: What insights do they share about confidence in performing?
Honestly, that's another thing that changes my mind is... Yeah. Anyway, carry on.
Amando Iannucci's new... Yeah.
I'd have to talk to him and say, look, you're dealing with someone fucking flaky.
Well, that is because I've got... Yeah, he sort of does... Cut.
This is really self-indulgent. Let's move on. Well, the whole thing is. Oh, God, I suddenly had a moment. Fucking hell.
The whole thing is... Oh, this is awful.
I suddenly thought about all those fucking nurses that are working their tits off and I'm worried about doing some fucking sitcom. Exactly. Chill out, you knob. Oh, this is horrible. No, it's not that I'm going to do it. It's just that... Oh, God. So you did some rehearsals. Who with?

Chapter 8: How does Nanny Pud Pud relate to their discussions?
But when you do... I hadn't really thought about it, but when you do, like, Derek or, like, Cockfields or something, you don't rehearse, really. You haven't got really time. So you just sort of... It's mad. You just go, can you do this scene on camera straight away?
We do do a little bit of rehearsal.
But there's so many scenes, you can't really, you know... Yeah. It's all a bit like... You're recording the first time you do it, really. Right, yeah. Whereas with studio, it's all shot in one evening, so you spend the next four and a half days practising it. So it's sort of the first... So you kind of, by Friday, you know it, but you just have to know a lot of it, basically.
Whereas the other way, it just suddenly felt a bit mental. You're like, oh, yeah. And, oh, you know what we're talking about for us if we did a studio? Lee does a... He takes a script to a theatre and does it in front of an audience. He's got, like, a regular audience that he tries stuff out on. Right.
So he's already sort of... So he was, like, going, oh, that got a big laugh, that got a big laugh.
Right.
So I was like... And then he obviously rewrites bits that don't. So he's sort of going into it with... quite a good, it's not completely blind.
So I thought. Sorry, I've just jumped past what you said earlier. So what are you thinking, what are you thinking?
You weren't listening to that line.
