[Bit 1]

Yeah, I don't like the guy.

You know, I don't like how he's trying

to take humans to Mars.

You know, I'm black, I'm not going, right?

Look, maybe it's just my black anxiety speaking.

I just, I don't wanna run the risk

getting in no space slave rocket.

To be taking unknown lands, you know?

You know what I'm saying?

What, you gonna stick us in the back of the rocket

next to the thrusters and shit?

Smelling the gas leak and shit?

Fuck that, all right?

That's not NASA, that's NASA, all right?

I'm gonna need to see a return ticket or something,

that's what I'm trying to say.

[Bit 2]

But nah, I will give him some credit though.

I don't think, I think he got a lot of flack

for that Nazi salute they said he did.

I don't think it was a Nazi salute.

'Cause I watched a lot of the historical footage

and the Nazi salute, it's a lot more zesty than that.

I'm serious, you know Hitler was on some gay shit, you know?

So there's how many straight men

you ever seen do this?

Z-Kyle, right?
