Could I possibly, um you actually, one of the main symptoms for covert everyone else's is not having a sense of smell.

Yeah.

You have never had a sense of smell.

Is that right?

That is true.

Were born without a sense of smell, as far as I know, because I don't remember ever being able to smell.

So I think it was congenital.

Although something may have happened.

I didn't I wasn't like a very, um I didn't fall and hit my head a lot.

Like I wasn't like a fearless kid.

You know, like kids that, you know, climb up things.

I mean, I did break an arm, but I don't remember having a head injury, So as far as I know, it's Yeah, I've never had it and, you know, yeah, And now here it is being a thing.

So when I even mentioned to people that don't know me or something, um, you know, like, oh, I can't smell like you'll just come in.

They're like, Oh, are you worried?

Oh, no.

I've never been a little smell on.

People are like, Oh, never mind.

But it is a question like, Wait, how?

Then you get the questions, you know, what can you taste?

And it's like, you know, no, but but I don't have nuance.

There's so many little subtleties that I've learned as I've gotten older.

And I didn't even realize that all growing up because there's a kid.

The only thing you really pay attention to, what smells like, you know, something like pizza, cookies or farts, you know?

But then, at some point when I was doing Second City and I was in, the touring companies were in, like, a nine passenger bus or a man, and we're traveling around, you know, going from Chicago to like Ohio State or something.

And you pass through a There were two things I remember going past, like some field or farm, and everybody was like rolled the windows because it smells like cow shit or something.

And then once those windows were up, there was, I remember, there being another moment where people like today because you have your shoes off.

I was like, Yeah, I was, like, laying down in the back seat like you put him on.

Please.

I didn't realize I had the stinkiest feet on earth and that that you kind of stayed, Had no idea.

I had no idea.

And it stayed with me my first couple years at SNL.

At some point, it kind of like went away.

I don't know how or what.

I didn't necessarily address it in a meaningful way, but it kind of disappeared.

But early on, um, the, you know Tom and Eric over that's no.

They would put my sneakers in a tougher way.

It's because in a Tupperware like, yeah, uh, and again, I had no idea.

And it's super.

It was super duper embarrassing, but But they found a way to make it less embarrassing for me and, more importantly, to make it less more tolerable for them.

And then, yeah, I I've got nothing.

I it's toxic waste, you know?

Yeah, 100%.

But like my little girl Daisy, she just last week realized that Otis found this out ages ago.

But she way have a couple of olive trees, like in our front yard and she grabbed a bunch of leaves and she was like, smelling like that.

And she has daddy smell.

And I'm like, I can't smell.

She was no smell.

And I go up, I go like that and I go, Yeah, nothing.

And she's like, No, no, no, You got to like this.

I'm like, No, no, honey, I am.

And it was like, you know, like, a comedy routine, and she just like, looking at me.

It doesn't get it, but to see your little kid be able to do something that you can't dio and have a sense of like a memory of it is bizarre, you know?

I mean, I can touch my toes either, but smell you think I'd still be able to dio You'll come back?

That's where you go.

Come back.

At least when you least expect it.

Yeah, but I mean, if you had to lose 11 sense out of your five, which one would you lose One?

Would you choose?

I think my sense of justice.

Oh, Okay.

Well, you know, we're getting there, then I could act with impunity all the time.

You can take you get to the highest heights that way.

Yeah, Apparently it doesn't.
