The multitalented comedian said they (him and Otoyo) used to hunt for rats for food because they couldn't afford a decent meal.

We ate rats together with Otoyo when we were hungry. You know when you have to eat a rat, it means you are desperate and tried everything in vain. A rat is the last food anyone can think of eating.
