Call me Lemonade because I'm about to be made tonight. Minute made, minute made. So growing up, I actually got made fun of. I was like, what, six years old? Yeah, I was like six years old. And this kid came up to me at the lunch table. He's like, Lorenzo, you got big pointy ears. Is your dad an elf? And everyone started howling, just, ah, this guy's dad's an elf. Ah, Dumbo.

And I'm in shock, because I never met my dad. I know, I know, typical, I know, typical. But I go home that night to my grandma. I go to buy my babushka, is what they say in Russian. I go home to her and I'm like, grandma, grandma, is my dad an elf? Is that where he's been this whole time up in the North Pole helping kids make, you know, helping Santa make toys for the kids?

No, he was actually doing really good in Dominica, because he knows English, so he'd get, like, the English-slash-Spanish job, so he was, like, doing pretty good, but, like, he was a bad man. He's actually here tonight. Why don't you come on out, Carl?
