it he is everybody's favorite set PA from who's the boss please welcome [Applause] Eric I'm going to start with an easy question how did you uh discover meow and why do you want to do it I'll go first I didn't want to do it uh Arts Alliance pushed me out to director they they they did a clean sweep of the last year and I was like I don't know how to do improv what are you doing and I spent the summer in Chicago going to improv shows and learning and seeing and watching and trying to absorb stuff and then took 10 Rel of strangers and did the show and it worked out really really well yeah it really it's sort of the defining moment of my of my college career and um made me the whole point of it was for me the focus was intense doing meow and that transferred to doing TV shows where your focus is intense you do you can't do anything else but work on the show and think about the show and that's what meow was it also made me know that I could do it I could take nothing and find something pretty good and um that's I thank meow for all that cuz it changed my life the whole point for me in everything I've done since and yeah is uh having fun um my dad always asked me at every job said are you having fun and I was sit for a second and go yeah I think I am and so I think that the fun element has to be a part of all of it it's hard work Focus but but then you know make a fart noise you know just don't do that it's awful but but just just make sure everyone's having a good time then then good things come out of the relaxation of having fun and you can relax and just sort of be stupid and that's when good stuff comes out of your brain make sense thanks Dad [Music] oh [Music]
