[Bit 1]

All right, I'm from McAllen, Texas.
If you haven't heard of it, yeah, you know it.

[Bit 2]

It's where every fucked up thing you ever heard
about the border happens.
Migrant caravans, Haitians getting whipped in the face.
Es mi casa.

[Bit 3]

And I'm here in Austin, and I like Austin,
but I hate the slogan.
Keep Austin weird.
Austin's not fucking weird.
Austin's quirky, right?
Like Austin's weird the way Zooey Deschanel is weird.
You know, it's not weird like how a crackhead is weird.
In fact, that's probably the weirdest thing about Austin,
is how many Austinites can just walk past camps of crackheads
on their way to drop three grand in our artisanal pogo stick.
Keep Austin weird. Why is Austin weird? Why are you weird, Austin?
Because you had a pop-up bar that looked like Moe's Tavern from The Simpsons.
That's not fucking weird. Where I'm from, it's weird.
It's weird.
We had a pop-up zoo, and there was only one animal in those cages, and it was little Mexican
children.
