How to Explain the First 40 Minutes of Your Show

I think the ratio of time spent to entertainment received... I don't know. How do you explain the first 40 minutes of your show? Thank you very much. Everyone's a critic. Because I mean I can... You go watch Good Will Hunting again. Inception, yes. It's hard to make a judgment call there. Put that in again and you go, why are you bringing him up on stage?
