[Bit 1]

Now you can tell it is summertime in Austin, Texas

because all of our unhoused homeless neighbor friends

have turned a nice crispy golden brown.

Now, I do not mean that racially.

I mean that like fried chicken.

There's bumps and boils, there's cracks and crevices,

it's dripping oil and spices, it's a health hazard.

You gotta call 311, or don't call 311.

[Bit 2]

I don't drink Bud Light.

You know what I drink?

I drink off-brand Gatorade from the dollar store

with a little bit of fentanyl in it.

I call it a white powerade.

Now again, I do not mean that racially.

I mean that like the white sheet the coroner

is gonna pull over your head if you drink it.

It's okay if I drink it.

I got a tolerance.

I'm from North Austin.

I know what I'm doing.

[Bit 3]

I call my house Fort Hood.

That's not because I used to be in the army.

It's because I live in the ghetto

and I'm armed to the teeth.

Try it, you fucking tweakers.

[Bit 4]

Divorce is like being dropped off in the East Bank

in New Orleans at 1 a.m. with no weapons.

You're gonna be terrorized, traumatized,

and you're gonna leave with nothing.

If you haven't been divorced or been in New Orleans,

consider yourself lucky.

I've been through both,

and I'll take my chances in the East Bank.
