I’m a bit surprised that no one has mentioned Larry’s comment; ‘‘_Yo Barry! You did it, my nigga!_’’.

Maybe we’re all cool with it; I almost am. My only issue with that is that Barry is actually our POTUS and should have been referred to with a certain level of respect. Something more like, “Mr President, you did it my nigga”. Though I realize that doesn’t flow as well.
