Does anyone else when having a bad day w/fluency have a fluency “stand-in”?

Does anyone else when having a bad day w/fluency have a fluency “stand-in”? Some days when my fluency was horrible for whatever reason; I would have someone else call and say they were me. I would be beside them with paper and pen to give them the answers and the questions I needed them to ask. (I only used trusted people like family and a best friend) Does anyone else do this? Thankfully my speech is much better now and I don’t need to do that anymore. I don’t like doing it but I can. Thank you for attending my ted talk lol
