- What's it like playing a sea monster? First time?
- Yeah, it is my first time, but it is a lot of fun. I mean, I've never played a role like this before. I even have Funko Pops here of-- I got me as a sea monster, and I also have me as a human.
- How long can you hold your breath for?
- I think around a minute. I can do pretty good. I think around a minute. Maybe, I can go over a minute, but around 60 seconds. Yeah.
- Can we see?
- Yeah, sure. I mean--

- I wish I had a hundred million legos. That'd be awesome.
- Do you collect anything else besides paychecks?
[LAUGHS]
- That's a good question, and I'm glad you phrased it like that. I guess I collect Funko pops like these guys. I mean, I don't really know. I don't really collect a lot of things except paychecks.
- Do your parents still tell you what to eat?
- Yeah. I mean, I guess they always want me to eat healthy, but I guess sometimes I'll eat just junk food like candy all day.

- Guys, he's right there.

- Yes.
- Guys, you want to say anything else to Jacob?
- That's another one for the books.
