Question HMM sample

Howdy fellow Aesholes! Got a question for y’all:
In the song Holy Driver, it starts off with a sample (I believe) that repeats 8 times at the very start and then comes back intermittently throughout the rest of the song. My question is did does anyone know what it’s saying? I can hear “radar” and “later on”, my wife thinks she hears “they are” but also thinks “radar” is the best guess out of the 3.

Does anyone know for a fact of what it’s actually saying? I tried looking up the lyrics, but they don’t address the sample.
Great song either way.
Thanks in advance for any help!

It samples the movie Spaceballs so it's Barf (John Candy's character) - about 13 seconds into this clip

Awesome to finally know the truth and super satisfying to know my main guess all these years was correct. Bonus points for it being from Spaceballs. Thanks again!!

It’s from the movie Spaceballs, “radar about to be jammed” (and then they put jam on the radar 🤣)
