[Bit 1]

So I should tell y'all, I've got trust issues.

My wife tells me all the time.

They stand for my father.

I'm not gonna lie.

My whole life we had a good relationship.

But two years ago he died from Lou Gehrig's disease.

And my whole fucking life I had no idea

that the motherfucker played baseball.

Fuck you, here's my dad.

[Bit 2]

So I am married.

Like I said, my wife tells me all the time.

She reminds me.

But we're a blended family.

We got a stepson, just call him my son though.

His dad was never in the picture.

I told my wife, I said, you know,

when we first started dancing, I said,

I'm never gonna do that shit.

I'll be there every fucking time.

Full disclosure, she was a widow when we met, so.

Oh, fuck off, it makes the weekend so much easier.

It's not that awkward pass off.

Hey man, what's up?
