[Bit 1]

And I just came in from Los Angeles.
My favorite thing about Los Angeles, Tony, is that the people out there,
and you know I've always been kind of pro-California, which is not always a popular thing, you know.
But the people out there are just so goddamn pretty.
And I tell you how it happened.
Back in the 1920s, they started making movies out there.
And all these beautiful people from all over America
flocked the fuck out there to be in the movies.
And they couldn't all be in the movies.
Some got regular jobs, but they met those people
that were in the movies.
They got together and they had these beautiful babies.
And those babies grew up and met other babies
from the same area.
They got together and had even more beautiful babies.
And almost the exact opposite thing
is happening right now in Kansas.
Kansas is full of ugly quitters, have you ever been there?
It's true, those people that live on the west coast,
their forefathers got on the Oregon Trail
and fought hardships you and I can't even dream of
with starvation and weather crossing the Rocky Mountains.
Not those people in Kansas, their forefathers
on the Oregon Trail in St. Louis, Missouri.
They got to Kansas and said, "Fuck it, I'm staying here,
and I'm gonna fuck that fat girl right over there."
We had a baby. It looks like a potato.
And that potato grew up and met another potato
from the same town, and...
That's a downward spiral.
Topeka.
