[Bit 1]

My father, Masanuri Shinohara,

was born and raised in the largest city on planet Earth.

Largest, arguably the most interesting city

in the face of the planet.

Anybody know what city I'm talking about?

Any anime fans?

Haidama!

Tokyo, Japan.

And can I take a second to appreciate the fact that

if you'd have just stayed in Tokyo,

I'd be fully Japanese right now,

and not this half Mexican abomination.

And what, I'm in construction?

No, no, no, if I was born in Tokyo,

I'd have been like a computer programmer

or Pokemon designer or samurai.

Yeah, those are all real applications in Tokyo.

Those are all real applications.

Interviews are free, fuck around, find out.

You might wind up lord of the Shogunate,

like Lord Torinaga.

But not he didn't stay, he didn't stay.

When he was 25 years old, he moved from the largest,

arguably most interesting city on the face of the planet,

right, to where, right?

to Corpus Christi, Texas.

Corpus Christi, Texas.

You know what's in Corpus?

You know what's in Corpus, huh?

A whole bunch of Mexicans.

A whole slew of Mexicans.

And eventually, right, eventually,

he knocked up some Mexican, my mom or whatever.
