Hey, it's Ophira here, so we had comedian Roy Wood Jr. on the show, and he was what we

0:15.6

call the business A-Ball. So much fun in fact that we couldn't fit the entire interview

0:20.5

into our show, so we're giving you a bonus clip. In this segment, I ask Roy a series of

0:26.4

rapid-fire questions. Enjoy. You love sports. Yes. Who's your favorite player?

0:31.2

Uh, all-time or current? Let's go with all-time. All-time? I would have to go with Ken Griffey Jr.

0:38.1

Ken Griffey Jr. Okay, you've worked at a lot of restaurants. What's your favorite restaurant

0:42.5

that you've worked at? Oh, vascular. No, right. I almost set Golden Carousel, but I've seen the

Baskin Robbins, what would you recommend? Oh, cookies and cream. Yeah. Cookies and cream, French

vanilla, regular vanilla chocolate. The base, you know, the all-star flavors. The ones that sell,

1:46.2

well, you want to get that weird stuff that's just been sitting there for three days. You don't

1:50.1

know how to ask them. And I'm serious. There's certain flavors that just don't sell, and they just

1:54.8

stay for four and five days. Do you really want some old snickered doodle scoop ice cream?

2:01.4

You want some Heath bar crunch? It's been here. Nobody even eats Heath bars.

2:08.4

Somehow it's still in a crunch. There's one guy over here. You just blow the dust off of it. How
