How are you?
Will you say your name five times fast? Akbar Olu Wakim, I, I, I.
You didn't even break eye contact, that's what I like the most about it.
You can tell I've been practicing my name since I was a kid.
So, first of all, we want to give you the award for best skin and best smile.
Oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
The Hollywood award.
Yeah, thank you so much. I didn't know that they had that award.
What's your secret? The females want to know what your secret are.
Well, you know what, it's uh, there's an old oil in uh, in Africa, uh, made by the indigenous people of the Yoruba tribe. And yes, and and so they use olive oil and uh, goat cheese.
You're from you're messing with me. I just made it up out the side of my head. Look at me, the eye contact, when you don't break eye contact like that, I believe everything that you say. I, I apologize about that. Are you ready for this one? You're going to make a boy band, four players in the NFL to make a boy band with. Okay.
Oh, I'm going to go Tom Brady. Okay. Um So pretty. Uh yes, you can say that. I'm I'm going to go Reggie Bush. Nice. I'm going to go Reggie Bush. Uh, I'm going to go, believe it or not, I'm going to go Peyton Manning because you need a little bit of that comedy skit. And then I'm going to go with somebody with long hair. You got to have somebody with long hair. To whip around so I'm going to go Jamal Charles from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Those are fantastic answers. And obviously the halftime show is going to be great this year, but who would be your ultimate halftime show, who would be performing?
You know what, I I have to go old school. Even though this person isn't alive, uh, passed away June 25th, uh, was born though, August 29th, that of course is the incomparable Michael Joseph Jackson.
I'm so with you on that. Did you know that I was a fan, can you tell? Did you know that I used to have wall Michael Jackson wallpaper? Did you know that I used to have Michael Jackson's thriller jacket?
You didn't kiss Michael Jackson wallpaper though, did you?
I know, but I did set up in 1992 in Pasadena to uh for his halftime show. I did.
Can you moonwalk?
I can't moonwalk, not with my bad knee.
