"On Saturday I noticed it’s going to be your birthday," a reporter asked in a video.
"Is it really? That sucks," Duncan responded.
"Tim, any special birthday wishes for tomorrow?" a reporter asked in a separate video.
"If I can skip it and stay at 38, that’d be awesome. Or go backwards -- that’d be great, too," Duncan answered.
