And I think the weight of what we do for a living and how we can take those people out of those situations and give them just a breather in a life where it's so heavy sometimes.
You never know who's in the audience and you never know what kind of crowd crap they've got going on in their lives you know you don't know what is going on and these things um what we might feel as normal every day because we do so much of this work you know you're touching people's lives and you're changing people's perceptions of of the world you know it's it's it's i think it's an important thing to think about sometimes when you're a performer yeah
