There are a few questions that bother all, but owing to their bizarre nature and the ridiculous reactions they may attract, it is best to keep those to oneself. Often known as intrusive thoughts, they are scenarios that keep running through the minds of people as the day progresses.

Dan Orlovsky has his share of intrusive thoughts too, but he decided that it would be a good idea to share them on live television. While Stephen A. Smith was presenting his list of the five greatest fears he has, Dan Orlovsky had a question he wanted to ask.

I have two questions, okay, I probably shouldn’t ask the first one but I’m going to ask it and I’m being dead serious. Why do black people smell better than white dudes?

Dan O was standing right next to Smith who must have been smelling great for him to prompt the former NFL QB to ask this question. Orlovsky went on to compliment Stephen A. Smith’s choice of fragrance.

The duo began to explain to Orlovsky the importance of maintaining personal hygiene by taking regular baths, moisturizing, and choosing the perfect cologne. Fans online could not believe that this was a conversation on the nation’s top-ranked television show. Here’s how they reacted to it on X:

Dan Orlovsky has spent the bulk of his career in locker rooms. It comes as no surprise that most of them were not the best smelling. However, a simple cologne and a proper shower are enough to have a person smelling like a million dollars.
