[Bit 1]

- I love to eavesdrop.

I was listening to this black couple talk

about their friend, Janae.

Whew, crazy bitch.

OK, so she has this on-again, off-again relationship

with her boyfriend, right?

She leaves him.

She starts performing naked, heavily using drugs,

and then finds out she has AIDS.

So she goes back to her boyfriend, right, and is like,

you know what?

I still love you, Forrest.

They were talking about the plot of Forrest Gump.

And my racist ass thought Jennay was just

this interesting black woman with a past.

[Bit 2]

Been thinking about the Holocaust a lot lately.

Specifically 'cause I just got a dog

and my landlord doesn't know.

So he'll start barking, right?

And I'm like, shut up, the Gestapo's coming.

You gotta keep it quiet, what would Anne do?

She'd write it down.

I famously should write it down.
