What are the initial thoughts on segment pitches?

All right, we are fresh off a huge argument here in the studio. That was a brawl. That was an all-out brawl. Still smart. And I'll tell you what was going on. And part of me wishes that we were rolling on this, but I guess that's expensive. Is that right, Eduardo? Is that why you don't roll on things that are really captivating? I try to protect you at all times. Yeah, okay. We were thinking about what are we going to talk about in this segment? And I don't know if anyone else wants to agree with me or disagree with me, but I hope agree with me. Blay, you started, you pitched an idea and you're like, oh, you guys could talk about. And I said, yeah, I don't know. And then you went, OK, another idea. And then I said, well, and then you said, hey, and a third one.
And I said, hey, just slow your roll, man. You were like someone put 15 quarters into a pitch machine. And they were firing in at 90 miles an hour. And I was getting hit by fastballs left and right. And I was like, calm down and let the creative process happen. And then I said to Sona, you said, well, I'm not going to say anything. And I said, well, no, it would be nice if you had an idea.
Can we just clarify something? This is a Thursday episode where we normally do a fan episode.
Yeah. So we're trying to come up with. Yeah, but you know, and listen, we ran out of fans. We should just tell people right now. Worldwide. Done. We're done. We talked to all 111 of our fans. That's right. Worldwide. Some of them three times, and they would put on mustaches and different accents. We tried to fill it out as much as we could, and then we officially talked to the last fan, and we didn't have a fan this week. I think it's actually more complicated than that.
Yeah. And we should say that that's what we're doing here is we're using this episode. We were first pitching ideas and then it got into the talking about pitching. And then I have a quick question. What the fuck is a pitch machine?
Yeah. Do you mean like a baseball pitch machine? Baseball batting cage. But then it's also like it can be double because he's pitching things.
Yeah. Yeah.
How does Conan suggest improving pitch delivery?
That's a double meaning.
You gave it more than he ever intended.
No, I'm sorry. I think he tried. Yeah. T.S.
Eliot thought about his words before he put them to the page.
I mean, can we can we then talk about what Eduardo said? Well, just a second.
There's a thing that I'm. There's a thing I'm sensitive to, which is having pretty much grown up in writers' rooms and been in them all the time, you would get sometimes in a situation where one writer's like, hey, we could do bah, bah, bah, bah, bah. And it's a little like that small dog straining against the leash. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. Well, here it was a large dog with gray hair and a beard who was saying, we could do this, we could do that, we could do that. And I was just trying to say, slow it down just a little bit. You are forcing all the groundwater out and we need to just let it sit for a second and let the aquifer refill. And I'm a master of analogies and that's a good one.
And so that's all I was trying to get to, Blake. And I respect your ideas and occasionally there's a good one, but I just thought you had to slow it down a bit.
Okay.
What was your third idea that I didn't hear?
Do you want to discuss your first two?
