All right, so Space Olympics, I don't have to tell you guys, not historically the biggest hit off Incredibad. A lot of songs off Incredibad are going to land with a great deal more fanfare when they become shorts. Yet it's the first one you decide to do for the season premiere of SNL. Is it because Phelps is the host?

Now, the best thing about this, there's so many great things. He's barely in it. Right. So it's not like you make it about him. Right. You almost have to, as a viewer, do the work of, oh, I bet they did this because he was there. Even people who don't know how TV works were probably like, and then he didn't have time to do the pre-tape. Yeah. It excuses it. Very much so.

Well, still, we built in that it was late.

Yeah. Phelpsie came in hosted, and also I remember sitting in that house that we talked about at length during the Incredibest episodes. You played Space Olympics for me, Andy, and I laughed so hard that I was wheezing. Now, it is a certain kind of song that I love a great deal, which is it's a lot about logistics and big singing about small things. And again, I keep tipping. I wish it would rain.

Some of the visuals that we get in the long opening vamp, I mean, you do yell reach for the stars pretty early. Right, which is a hilarious joke. We see you, and there is a moment where the audience laughs at your look. You have white hair. It's a very good wig. Very good. You're sashed, good outfit. You're out by a city field, right?
