00:00That sketch that you wrote that I've heard you say is your favorite, what was that process like?
00:04My friend Chris Farley and I were doing the Second City show and he had done a coach
00:09character doing an anti-drug rally and he had done these you know swaggery guy and I had also
00:15been listening to Tony Robbins and I had the idea of a motivational speaker who uses himself as a
00:21bad example of where you don't want to be. You can learn a lot from watching another person struggle
00:27to do what you're trying to do and you can learn a lot from watching someone who's good at it
00:32do it
00:32well in front of you. When you see them do it your brain goes at the same time wow that's
00:38amazing and
00:39it goes oh I see what you did there and it really can be a shortcut to learning how to
00:45do anything
00:46hard and creative. I had had three years of that when I sat down to write the motivational speaker.
