In this short, informal interview, Speaker A recounts how they prepared for a roast of NFL star Marshawn Lynch as part of Netflix's comedy series "Funny AF." The dialogue reveals that the roast was rehearsed daily, that Lynch was unaware the segment was a roast, and that the jokes targeted his football legacy, his acting stint on the show "Murderville," and his public persona as an "American hero" who was drinking Hennessy during the filming. Speaker B interjects with curiosity and prompts, while Speaker A delivers a sample joke: "as a 49er fan, I don't know what was more painful, watching you beat us or watching your acting career. Your episode of Murderville made me want to kill myself." The exchange showcases the comedic tone, the behind‑the‑scenes preparation, and the tension between honoring a sports figure and delivering sharp humor.

When I had to do the roast for— of Marshawn Lynch, the way I practiced every single day—
hold on, why are you roasting Marshawn Lynch?
I had to do that show Funny AF on Netflix. What did you say about Marshawn Lynch? He's an American hero. He was drinking Hennessy while we were doing it. He also didn't know that it was a roast.
Not the time to figure it out.
Oh, I said, um, I said, Marshawn, as a 49er fan, I don't know what was more painful, watching you beat us watching your acting career. Uh, your episode of Murderville made me want to kill myself. That was one that I said. That's good.
Pretty good. Thank you. Thank you.
