that measures out how much --
-Yeah, I know. No, no.
-Have you bought one? -No.
-I think Questlove has.

and go for it.

It's like, "Why are you getting mad?"
He's like, "No one does that. You don't have to do that."
I go, "I don't have to do it, but I'm doing it."
And then my mom was like, "Jimmy's been to Italy,
so I think that's what they do."
[ Laughter ]
So, yeah. It think it was the thing like,
"Oh, Mr. Big Shot." -Show off.
