He said Larry because it played off King...and then paused for Hov to say Hoover. I always thought this was an entertaining and hated on song for no reason.

For some reason Jay yelling about why he never see them at the clear port is hilarious. "Why I always see them at the airport Ye?" I don't know why but the first time I heard that my cousin and I just started dying.

Nothing was worse than me in college explaining to people that "BK is from Texas" on ESOM is not a Burger King reference. I was so disgusted.
