A big comedian will bring a smaller comedian, and there's a smaller comedian will sneak into the photo, and I get. I could name a couple. I don't want to put them out, you know, I mean. But there was sabotage on the photo, which I'd like to talk about openly, if I may. If I may.

Okay. So I think Tom Segura, if you watch the big shot, right, they had us throw us a ball toward the camera.

[B]

They all made us take a playpen ball, like McDonald's play place. They made us grab a ball, and they said, we're gonna throw it at the camera at the exact same time.

[A]

Yes. So what I did was not throw.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I know the trick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just did. When they said at three, right? They said, we're going to count to three. At three, throw the ball. One, two, three. Everyone threw the ball. Not me. I did my best. Smile, all right.
