I'm not normally a heavy quoter, but I spout some of your random lines on the regular (especially with my sister—we both love ya). I particularly love speaking over people with "I'm so bored right now" (Sizzler Alert), and leaving a room with "Take it easy beazy, don't make it sleazy no lessons" (TSSP).

Thanks for doing this AMA now and doing you always—you're my favorite comedian.
