How (UN)Fitting:  Comparing and Con-trasting - Strikes me (get it?) as odd...

Here, there, Now, then: As in "It was a different time then, I was in/on a different stage...it was the best of times, and then...it was as if someone's bike, I mean..." 

"What comes to mind...?" A common, 'soft-ball' Gen-eric type of question that allowed the host to ME-ander a byte..."Now that's an interesting question, one worth thinking about...we'll take that up together in next week's class together..." was one of my favorite professor's way to validate that every question was worth asking, accompanied by just what's known as a 'degree of humility' from one who had earned the highest in our field of study...

Free Ass-ociations: Related, in a way, to "Stream(ing) of consciousness" which became, as we studied in our field, followed by LOTS of years of practice...tools of the trade, to help, as in prompt, to eventually tell US more about "what you are really thinking..." 

Speak for Your-self: A dual meaning, in the present context, as in...trying to use your self-talk...to remind yourself what the "pitch count" is...highly relevant to what we are about to be treated to, as well as what I, myself am trying to pitch out (a maneuver in b-ball that requires good communication, lots of practice, timing...) and what could happen here, if I go what's called, by my handlers "off script"...you'd think I'd know better by now, after giving the President at that time an ear-full (another time, another stage, if I remember correctly)...just above a whisper, as it was intended to be for his ear only..."This is a big, F'n deal...!😁😠😟...

Tell-a-Prompter: As even they need reminding, from time to time..."It's your job to remind me..."

All the world's a stage...Now that's a great answer...can you remind what the question was, by George...?"  

Next on stage: "Born to Run...on and on and..." - Yet, another "View" As in Act One, Seine...
