[Bit 1]

-It's hard to live in Texas

without hearing about the immigration debate.

They're bringing in drugs.

They're taking our jobs.

We've got to do something about these Californians.

We're gonna build a wall,

and we're gonna make New Mexico pay for it.

[Bit 2]

And for the record, I don't understand

where they're coming here anyway.

Over the last few years,

the California real estate market's been on fire.

Maybe they're just a little burned out.

[Bit 3]

It's also hard to live in Austin

without hearing about this serial killer

who's killing gay men at Lady Bird Lake.

Yeah? Yeah.

How was that funny?

I didn't think much about it, but then the other day,

my friend called me, said,

"Hey, where are you going out tonight, man?

Just want to make sure I know where you are."

And then it dawned on me.

My friend thinks I'm a murderer.

But that makes no sense, 'cause I love gay men.
