Hello again, Brenan's the ceo series started off as a character study in the straight man. And I think all of them have this kind of slow burn to insanity as the game. My question is when writing the straightman how do you gauge how to ratchet up those reactions to give you somewhere left to go afterward? And do you essentially write the straight man after your game to pace yourself?

Hi Brennan, huge fan of your whole deal. For the CEO sketch series, how aligned do you see your character with the general audience? With the moviepass sketch for instance, the audience feels badly but doesn't necessarily relate to him on an intellectual level. Could the formula work with a ceo wholly hostile/oppositional to the audience?
