In high school, I was in a band and played backup guitar, backup vocals, and always fiddled around with guitars. And then I kind of had put the music thing down as I kind of went into comedy and performing and all of that. And then...

We were doing these voices at a sound studio that had all these instruments, and I probably picked up the guitar for the first time after many, many years and started singing these songs as the dad and had so much fun, and then we ended up baking it into the show.

This comes at the end of an episode where we've seen him probably be his most performative. And then he has this moment when everyone's asleep and he goes out into the driveway and... sits by his halal cart. He's a halal cart vendor in the city, and it's always parked in the driveway. And I love that image because it sticks out in this suburb that they can barely afford.

And there's a piano that comes out of the cart. And And so he's singing this thing that sounds sad, but at the same time visually is, I think, quite funny.
