  • I mean, you're very physical, and I can see that you really like to inhabit the stage and move around.

  • You're not just standing there with a microphone, sort of telling, you know your material because there's, like, different ways to do stand up now to incorporate video and DJs.

  • And I'm still kind of bare bones within.

  • And I like to at least take up that space, you know, it's just gonna make, and it's It's also like when I'm writing, I'll stand up and write a thing over here, and then I'm like, figuring something out and I'll you know, I'll go right on the floor and I feel I find the same thing, the same thing that stand up where it's like Oh, right, the whatever the Nazis bit happened over here and then the Nazi bitch should always happen.

  • I want to say I don't.

  • It was nine months a year ago, and it was I was trying to master that accent.

  • That's an impossible accent to get.

  • You know, I I don't know why I I mean, I'm gonna put you right now, but I find it quite easy because it's all about a You know, you just if you keep a side, why you smile?
