A massive Wu-Tang Clan fan found himself on television this week and did what he had to do: He dropped as many references from the rappers as he possibly could, all while keeping a straight face.

Dylan Alcott, who moonlights as a Paralympic gold medalist when he's not a radio presenter on Triple J, accepted a challenge from a listener who asked him to drop Wu-Tang lyrics throughout his appearance on Australia's ABC show Q&A.

The panel that featured Alcott was focused on people living with disabilities. "I’m pretty shaky and all I was thinking about was trying to get these answers across because I was so passionate about it and the crowd was awesome," Alcott told Triple J, recounting how he felt once he was in front of the cameras.

Somehow, he managed to answer questions about inclusion, disability laws, and more — all while peppering his remarks with classic lyrics spanning the Wu-Tang's discography. He even threw in a couple Wu-Tang hand signs in the mix, just in case viewers missed out on his "cash rules everything" quips.

This wasn't Alcott's first spotlight moment with Wu-Tang. As Triple J points out, Alcott is a huge fan of the group, and even got the chance to rap with Ghostface Killah in 2014.

Fans of Alcott and Wu-Tang all were delighted with the easter eggs in his answers.

What a legend.
