[Bit 1]

- Hey, have you ever felt like punching someone in the face?

But then you held back,

because you practiced this form of meditation

called "Being on a Visa."

I've been in this country 15 years, I'm still on a visa.

That's insane, man.

[Bit 2]

And quite honestly, now is when I feel the most American I've ever felt in my life.

Because I was recently diagnosed with anxiety, depression, bipolar, you name it.

I'm really trying hard to fit in with you all, man.

[Bit 3]

I recently had a baby and I'll be honest,

I never thought of myself to be like a dad, you know?

I never thought I'll have that emotional connection with a child.

But the day my daughter was born, I held her in my arms for the very first time.

I got emotional.

I started crying.

You know why?

Because that was the moment I realized this little thing

is a citizen of the United States.

And I'm sure on a fucking visa, what's up with that?
