[Bit 1]

-Alright, so I'm still trying to do, like,

the acting thing or whatnot,

and I had, like, an audition for a role

a couple weeks ago, and it was for a drug dealer,

so, pfft, right on time, right?

So I thought I had it in the bag, and then I got there,

and there was a lady with a camera and a gay dude, right?

And we was reading our lines and shit,

and he was reading the Whitman,

but he was reading the lines as my girlfriend.

That's crazy, right?

So I'm saying my lines and whatnot.

I'm like, "A-bit to hicco the drugs."

And then his line is, "Oh, my gosh, I love you so much."

And every time he said that, I laughed,

'cause that's funny, right?

Like, "What the fuck?"

And he'll be like, "You got to be more serious."

I be like, "No problem." He said it again,

and I laughed again.

And I'm gonna tell you something.

I should get that role, man,

'cause I was -- that was fucking great acting, dawg.

He had no idea I was homophobic.

[Bit 2]

And if you think I'm deadass, I'm not homophobic.

I have no problem with gay people.

I have gays in my family.

I don't talk to 'em, but...

They in my family, I tell you that much.
