We’re going to be on Jeopardy. Problem is we have to be there in ten minutes and I’m not dressed yet. My sister is a producer on the show so she’ll buy us some time.

Certainly not a current one. From his expression I don't get the sense that he's serious, whatever he's trying to say. And after some scratching around it turns out the translation is actually 'What's Next for U.S.?'

I wish I knew silly buddy.

Here's the track if you want to figure it out yourself:
