She comes over and she goes, ‘I just wanna say I’m a big fan, I want to take a picture, but I’m not gonna, my son will kill me.’ I go, ‘I don’t care about your son, take the picture.’ She goes, ‘No, no, I don’t want to do it, never mind. I just wanted to come and tell you I’m a fan, blah blah.”

So, I go grab balloons, get a hat, and i got a bottle of champagne. I lay on the ground or I unbutton my tie. I go, ‘Send this to Dwayne at 12:10 or midnight or something and go, ‘We’re partying with Jimmy Fallon and it’s awesome.”‘
