[Bit 1]

- So I wanna tell you about the time Mormons came to my door

to spread the word of Jesus Christ for the first time.

I was a 13 year old kid, you knock on the door.

Hello, sir, can we please talk to you

about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

Really, get the fuck out of here.

They're like, no, we have to, plus he's watching.

Like, all right, here's my mom.

You know, they always ask for the parent.

And my mom's like the most Jewish lady ever.

She comes to the door, "Hello, boys.

How can I help you?"

They're like, "Hello, Miss.

Can we talk to you about Jesus?"

"Follow me."

I do have a pile of leaves, two rakes, and a trash can.

If you please clean the leaves,

I'd love to listen to you talk about Jesus.

And they did.

And they mowed the lawn, and they cleaned out the garage,

and they came back.

They were doing the Lord's work and my work.

I didn't have to do chores for months.
