This sketch sees a group of fire fighter essay to picture out what Daniels ' ( Boseman ) side hustle is , mid - fire conflict .
The other firefighter marvel what could be a moneymaking endeavor that involves " wiener and dolls " . Unfortunately , it seems that the audience is as confused as the characters in the sketch . They ’re never sure where the joke is going and only titter when Kenan Thompson shouts something .
