[00:00:00] Speaker 1: If you always have a smile on your face, the client's going to be happy. And I don't know if anybody realizes it, and it's not even to be funny. And let's face it, funny people are not stupid. They're actually really witty. They're really intelligent to be able to draft it out, flesh it out, or even to come up with it just on the spot, you know, when you're dealing with improv. And so to me, if you can just say everything with a smile on your face, you notice that there's a different reaction out of people than just being dead-faced.
