I wake up and I cant find [the flashlight].
Im like a crazy man, Im in my underwear running around, he told hostJimmy Kimmel.
Im obsessed now, I gotta find this, and she gets mad at me, my wife.
Shes like, Let it go.
And I cant let it go.
I stop and I go, Wait a minute.
What kind of old man numb ball disease do I have?
The moment has plagued him ever since.
Am I wrong to be weirded out by it?
Kimmel swiftly replied, You should be troubled by this.
Like, Oh, a nickel!
Hey, look, I had a nickel!
That or a Cheerio, Howd a Cheerio get in my thing?
But a flashlight a flashlight!

His thought process only spiraled further from there.
Heres the thing, what if I gave up?
What if I got dressed for the day?
The guy on his laptop, Excuse me sir, youve got a weapon in your underwear?
I wouldve been, Well, a weapon, I dont know…
The scariest part of the experience?
Now its just another place I have to look, you know?
he told a laughing Kimmel.
Like if you cant find your keys one day, youre like, Hey, what?
And then youve gotta, Ohhh.
