[Bit 1]

I got two degrees in four years in college.

Brag.

I was always bad at school.

What I realized is instead of an orthic advanced class,

is you had to take arts appreciation,

a global perspective, and a social diversity course.

And I realized there's a glitch in the scheduling software

by chance dance appreciation.

Count it as all three.

So I thought about it.

And I was like, man, I could take feminism one, two, and three.

I could study how to be great at parties.

My friends hate it.

They're like, "Matt, you're cheating your education."

I was like, "Yeah, that's the point.

I'm the one paying for it."

[Bit 2]

I remember one day I walked in my roommate,

he's like sitting on his desk, he's furious.

He's like typing, he's like, "Ugh,

I have to attend page of paper right now

on fragile masculinity."

And I was like, "Oh, whoo-hoo."

He was like, "No, dude, you know what fragile masculinity is.

That's when men are too afraid to be seen as a feminist

to put themselves through trials and tribulations,

arbitrarily living lives of silent suffering."

And I was like, "Damn, that's tough.

This is the mashed potato.

This is what I've been doing all month.

I'm not even good at it."
