[Music] I think I'd be a condor definitely. Pie, uh, with ice cream definitely! Beach, Ocean Beach, I I'd have to take both, both at their best. There's nothing like it; picking one or the other is like picking one of your children. Son, my gosh, what kind of question is that?

I would want to visit the Himalaya Mountain Range and whatever countries that happen to touch, so be it. Purple, royal purple, we need more purple in the world. I'm tired of apples; I I oranges. I'm I'm all for oranges, so I'll take a good orange and a good fresh-squeezed orange juice with pulp. Leaving all the pulp, in fact, add extra pulp and I'm there for it.

Salty? I like potato chips, popcorn with too much salt on it. Salt? Stupid question— the stargaze or lily, of course! It's beautiful, stargazer lily. Very chest piece, I like the rook— it's over there in the corner. It comes out when you need it. Pegasus? Who needs a stick coming out of your head? You want to be able to fly, definitely.

Lemonade? But it's got to be good lemonade! None of this powder mix lemon flavored. Go get in the back and squeeze some lemons, put in some sugar, and I'm good for you. I'm not in denial of the impact and significance of the Harry Potter series, but in terms of the weight— the social, cultural, philosophical, literary weight of The Lord of the Rings—that edges out, edges out Harry Potter for me.

Never sleep with socks on! I'd like I I need toe freedom under the covers at all times. Sad? Totally! Saturn's cool because it's like it's less dense than water, so if you found a lake big enough, Saturn would just float.

Definitely going with sheep. I I think they're more useful to us. I know that's bad for the sheep, but I'm just saying, just being honest. In the shower— 'cause we all sound awesome in the shower, I try to sing songs where the deep voice matters. Go down, Moses, you know? Swing, swing low! I I don't can't keep it, dude. Let's go in the shower; we could do this right.

Monopoly all the way! I mean think about how much you learn about our American capitalist society by mastering Monopoly. A cumulus nimbus cloud? There's a lot of action in a cumulus nimbus cloud, and that's totally the cloud I would be.

I make a pretty good french toast, so I will take my french toast over anybody's french toast I have ever tasted. But there's nothing like a good buttermilk pancake. [Music]
