[Bit 1]
Does anybody recognize my name?
Christopher Reeves?
Yeah, they named me after the actor
that played Superman in the '80s.
We didn't have a lot in common.
He was paralyzed from the waist down,
couldn't feel anything,
so he had to blow through a straw to get around.
And in order for me to feel anything,
I had to do a bunch of blow through a straw.
So,
kind of similar.
[Bit 2]
I related a lot more with Spider-Man though.
You know, Peter Parker, super sensitive.
Love Mary Jane, shooting webs across our rooms.
Sticky hands.
[Bit 3]
Yeah, I was an emo kid in high school.
I listened to "Dashboard Confessional,"
told my guy liners, they and my girl jeans.
This girl the other day,
she was making fun of my bald spot.
She called me "Hair Starting to Fall Out Boy."
That hurt, that hurt.
But y'all remember that song,
"Hair Starting to Fall Out Boy" saying?
