OK, Jacob, Andrea, Ellie and Chloe, right?
Yeah.
Was that right?
Yes.
Hi.
So, welcome.
You're amazing.
Are you surprised that it got so much attention, this video?
It's like a dream.
Still, I can't believe we're here.
This is incredible.
Like, we're on The Ellen Show.
A week ago we sat on our couch, doing what we do.
We always rap stories.
And now we're sat on your couch seven days later.
I mean, we love you.
We just can't believe we're here, can we?
It's incredible.
Where did you say you can't believe you're in?
What country?
Am--
America.
What is it?
America.
You're in America, yeah.
Have you been to California before?
No, we haven't.
No, never.
You literally made our dream come true.
We spent yesterday at Universal Studios.
We haven't stopped smiling.
You met a minion, didn't you?
It's just been the most incredible seven days
we've had in our life.
That's so great.
Aww.
Look.
Who is that?
That's so great.
I'm so glad you're having fun.
OK, your rapping is impressive--
Thank you.
--but you're a teacher, right?
I am a teacher, yeah.
A primary school teacher.
OK.
And you rap with your students as well?
I do, yeah-- regularly.
And why do you do that?
Well, a number of reasons.
When I first came into teaching, first of all,
I looked at the curriculum.
How am I going to remember all this?
So I started making up raps for myself.
And also, I looked at the kids and looked into their eyes
and think, that's a lot of information to learn.
So how can we put this across in a way they're going to really
enjoy and engage them?
So I started making up lots of raps.
And then the kids were loving it,
so now I'm just making them all the time.
And I've got quite a little bit of a following back in the UK.
And it's now starting to be an international thing.
It's so great.
And rapping to them, I mean, what a way
to have your bedtime story.
Does that help you relax, to hear rapping like that?
Yeah?
Do you make it through the whole book?
Does she fall asleep really?
Because usually the whole idea is--
She raps, too.
Oh, do you rap as well?
Yeah.
Oh, that's fantastic.
So you rap along with your dad?
Do you want to do a little bit of your rap?
Do you want to show Ellen?
No.
Oh, OK.
She's a bit shy.
We're not there yet.
It's all right.
You can do it for me later.
There you go.
OK.
So we brought a book so that you can--
by the way, we should just talk about M.C. Grammar.
Let's do that.
Right?
So that's your--
Alias, yeah.
Yes.
And you have a gold outfit.
I do, yeah.
I do.
It goes over the kids' heads, because they actually
don't know who M.C. Hammer is.
No, of course not.
But my wife said, stick with the gold,
because they love a bit of bling.
It's for the kids, you know?
Yeah, of course.
Adults find it cringy.
That's not how you put a pacifier in your mouth.
All right, so I have this.
Yes.
And so you're going to rap Green Eggs and Ham.
I am.
This is your book.
This is our copy from home, isn't it?
This is our book.
I am producing Green Eggs and Ham for Netflix.
We're doing a whole animated series.
No way.
Yeah, I am.
That's incredible.
So, good, we get to hear you.
Yeah.
Can I grab a--
Yes, of course.
Check, check.
OK.
All right.
You ready?
You ready, Chloe?
Just pretend it's story time.
OK.
Check, check.
Ellen's show.
M.C. Grammer, Mr. M. Audience can help me, too.
Ellie, you ready?
When I say, I am, you say, Sam.
I am--
Sam.
I am--
Sam.
When I say, Sam, you say, I am.
Sam.
I am.
Sam.
I am.
"Yo, that Sam-I-am, that Sam-I-am, I do not like that,
Sam-I-am.
Do you like green eggs and ham?
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
Would you like them here or there?
I would not like them here or there.
I would not like them anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
Would you like them in a house?
Would you like them with a mouse?
I do not like them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
Would you eat them in a box?
Would eat them with a fox?
Not in a box.
Now with a fox.
Not in a house.
Not with a mouse.
I would not eat them here or there.
I would not eat them anywhere.
I would not eat green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do not like them, Sam-I-am."
[CHEERING]
That's fantastic.
Thank you.
That's so good.
It's, like, made for rapping.
It's made for rapping.
I think so, too.
I think so.
It's so good.
All right.
Well, since your family loves reading,
I got you a special copy--
it's an edition of my book.
Thanks, Joel.
OK, so I got you my book, Seriously, I'm Kidding,
and if you could just rap this first page for us, OK?
OK.
Do you have your mic?
Yeah.
OK, get ready.
Rap the first page.
Ellen reached out to her friends at Shutterfly,
and they wanted to do something more than just say hi.
There's Janet, Roy, Choi, and Gilroy, all on a mission
to share life's joy.
And because they think we're for [INAUDIBLE],,
they're giving my family $10,000 dollars.
[CHEERING]
No way.
What?
What!
Thank you.
Can I give you a hug?
Yeah.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
[INAUDIBLE]
You're welcome.
I love your family.
We'll be right back.
