00:00You like going back to SNL. Yeah. A lot. I do. I love it. So, that being the case.
00:06Oh boy. Just requisite, if asked, will you serve and return? Serve? Serve as the fake
00:18presidential nominee and hopefully president. Isn't it interesting how, like,
00:22heavy this feels, right? Like, you asked me about serving. I do. It's a, we need you.
00:28Oh, wow. I have to tell you, it has been an experience. Like, what a journey I have been
00:35on in the last, how many weeks has it been? Two or three. My phone has not stopped. My phone,
00:44it's like if I had, like, 50 grandmas and they were sending me articles. Like,
00:52this is the thing I saw that you were in. Right. It's non-fucking-stop. And it's
00:57fascinating because everybody's excited about this idea and I have nothing to do with it.
01:04It's just happening in front of me. It's wild. It's terribly exciting to be associated with.
01:10I'm not gonna lie. Especially when you're just doing this. And it's, like, happening. And yeah,
01:16you're right. I didn't think about it. But it is similar to that first time. I, you know,
01:20I could tell it was happening around me when Kamala was writing the first time. This just
01:26feels, this feels a lot bigger. I never in my wildest dreams imagined all the years. You
01:34could not have paid me any amount of money to believe that this would be anything that I would
01:42be associated with. Someone who's running for President of the United States. It's incredible.
01:48So, I hope it works out. It would be cool. That's awesome.
01:56you
