  Speaker 3: You have an aged in twenty five years right. I'm

  Speaker 3: vain person who wants to cling to my youth as
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: long as I can can. I ask just one thing

  Speaker 3: that you you employ that you.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Do I ironically mentioned it earlier. I don't drink beer.

  Speaker 3: the same thought.

  Speaker 2: They're like, what the he's frozen his.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Later, Alex, I'll say that, and just for men, otherwise
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I'd be looking like Anderson Cooper.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Now that looks so natural, my friend.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. You mentioned Saturday Night Live earlier.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I remember, man, you were you were graded impressions. What
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: was the first one you you nailed down? And is
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: there a certain technique you use in perfecting it?
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Ooh uh, first one I nailed down? I mean the
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: first impression I got to do on that show was
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Eric Trump. It was my first week mikey Day and
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Vanessa Bayer and Streeter Sidell and I all wrote an update.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: And I had just seen this picture that the Trump
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: family put out that was like Millennials for Trump, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: it was his like three adult children just kind of
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: like all very seriously looking to the camera like, yeah,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: we're all cool kids, right, we all want to vote
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: for our dad.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: And Eric just looked like he was in a different
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: picture of the rest of penment. So I just kind
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: of took that and ran with it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just a little seed of a thing that
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: makes me go, Okay, now, I'm just going to invent
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: a character. Like my impression of Eric Trump a spoiler
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: alert wasn't exactly spot on, So I think half of
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: it is just inventing a character for it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love impressions. Do you still get on stage
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and do some improv or.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Here and there?
