[Bit 1]

Hey, I'm a weird black guy.

Like a Wu-Tang Clan and Japanese animation.

Big fan of that stuff.

My favorite television show of all time.

Little show called Game of Thrones.

You ever seen Game of Thrones?

I think a couple nerds, okay.

If you haven't seen it, it's a show with swords

and dragons and stuff.

I'm kind of a nerdy guy, so I end up doing it in public.

I quote the show.

I'm like, "We die today, brothers.

"We die bleeding from 100 wounds

with arrows in our necks and spears in our guts.

But our war cries were under our paternity.

They will sing about the Battle of Winterfell

until the Iron Islands have slipped beneath the waves.

Every man, woman, and child will know who we were

and how long we stood.

Ironborn warriors will scream out our names

as we leap over the walls as they guard at their castle.

That's usually when they kick me out of AGB.

They're like, "You can't do this."

Post 9/11.
