[Bit 1]

I love seeing Broadway musicals.
I recently saw the Michael Jackson musical.
I did see "Leaving Neverland" first,
so, you know, the spooky prequel.
So, you know, I went in a little chuffed.
I'm like, what is this Michael Jackson guy ever done?
You know?
And let me tell you, by the end of the musical, 180.
I think I can safely say from the bottom of my heart,
I don't think I care about the whole kid thing.
He's the best, all right?
He's the best who's ever done it.
Turns out you can do both.
We're gonna limit that guy?
Really, honestly, between doing Thriller and doing that,
like take a Saturday, man.
Where's your vacation days, brother?

[Bit 2]

And there is a very funny part
where in the musical where there's like,
Michael, you know what they're saying about you?
That you're bleaching your skin?
That you're laundering money?
That's it.
And I'm in the back like, there's a third thing.
Didn't even know about laundering money.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
