What can you do when you’re the lesser-known half of a very famous, Grammy-winning musical duo? If you’re Ryan Lewis, you can go interview people on the street about yourself without even getting recognized. And the faces people make when they find out are hilarious.

At the end of the video, Macklemore himself makes a cameo — and jokes that he doesn’t know what Lewis does, either. But here’s what Macklemore told the Inlander for our cover story about Lewis last year:
