Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

President Obama sat down with Hangover star Zach Galifianakis for a snappy Ping-Pong like conversation about everything from turkeys to “ambassador Rodman” on Between to Ferns.

The hilarious clip shows President Obama dodging and firing shots. When asked if it was a bummer that he can’t run for a third term the President retorted, “Actually, I think it’s a good thing. It would sort of be like doing a third Hangover movie…it didn’t turn out very well did it?”

The segment was shot in an effort to reach a younger audience and push them to sign up for affordable healthcare before the March 31 deadline. 

Watch the awkwardly hilarious clip above.
