I'm trying to think of something to say. Hot dog. That's hot dog. Yes, okay. Thank you for translating. But yeah, yeah, I can, but I need a prompt. I don't have a Baltimore thing in my back pocket.

I'm obsessed with Old Bay. I put it on everything, including my fruit. I've got Old Bay merch. I've got Old Bay tote bags, socks, mugs, oversized Old Bay. No food in my home, but that Old Bay to go on it should it arrive.

I actually just got to tell the Old Bay team that earlier today, so fingers crossed I get to be the face of Old Bay.

Well, here's the thing, guys, and I've said this many times now. The audience is not supposed to say anything at Saturday Night Live. They never have. They likely will not be prompted to again in the future. They're supposed to watch. They're just supposed to watch the piece and laugh and cheer.

You know, everyone keeps saying that's such a well-known phrase, men ain't ass, but I'm like, I don't know. I don't know that I've heard that particular phrase
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
WWDTM: Ego Nwodim
I've heard they ain't that. I've heard... But I have not... It was meant to be worth it. It was meant to be, they don't know, because they've never seen me perform before, and then I say worth it. But they were amazing. I loved that first crowd. Very enthusiastic, but very locked in.

No, I was just happy to be asked to be part of Poker Face. I was like, hell yes. And then I was asked to eat cheese, which I can't. I can't have as much cheese as they would have liked me to have.

We had a conversation before where they told me the plan was for me to eat a lot of cheese, and I thought, oh, wow, of all the rolls, I'm getting the one I can't do. But here's the thing. I raw dog cheese all the time. I'm lactose intolerant, but I go raw with the cheese all the time, without a lactate, that is. And we don't die, but at a certain point, I would have a problem.

And so they decided to swap out the cheese for, I believe it was vegan cheese. which just created a different problem. Sounds like you were farting either way. Yeah, no matter what I was going to be farting, I was farting.

This is tough. This hard. C. It's C. Yeah, that was right. I don't know how you knew that.

I'm going to say, and this is very chaotic, but it's B. You're going to go with B. As soon as he moved in, he painted everything black because that was his taste.

Everything that's been going on has kind of changed my life plans.
