[Bit 1]

I'm from Ireland.

We use a lot of different slang back there.

Instead of saying someone's drunk, we say they're fluted.

If someone's a little bit slow, we say they're American.

[Bit 2]

It gets pretty old having an accent, though, here.

I have to say, I often have people ask me where I'm from

when I'm standing in coffee shops or sweatshops or whatever.

My new way to make that question fun for myself

is I just pick a nearby town.

The lady in Starbucks the other day

was like, hey, that's a cool accent.

Where are you from?

Burbank.

She's like, "Come on now, sweetie,

"that's not a Burbank accent.

"Where are you from?"

Burbank, California, born and raised.

Now I'll have my large coffee with extra Jameson, please.

No tip for you, bitch.
