Mark breaks down his 4am morning routine that had the internet questioning everything, and shares his worst celebrity encounter of all time, while Yahya reveals the salad ingredients white people put him on to. The guys get into the very different upbringings that shaped them and how working together pushed them to influence each other’s performances on set.
