[Bit 1]

Call me lemonade, because I'm about to be made tonight.

Minute made, minute made.

[Bit 2]

So growing up, I actually got made fun of.

It was like, what, six years old?

Yeah, I was like six years old.

And this kid came up to me at the lunch table.

He's like, Lorenzo.

You got big pointy ears.

Is your dad an elf?

And everyone saw the howling.

Just, ah, this guy's dad's an elf.

Don't bow.

And I'm like in shock because I never met my dad.

I know typical.

But I go home that night to my grandma.

I go to buy my babushka, that's what they say in Russian.

I go home to her and I'm like, grandma, grandma,

is my dad an elf?

Is that where he's been this whole time up in the North Pole

helping kids make, you know, helping Santa make toys for the kids.

And she's like, "No, Lorenzo, your dad's not an L. Your dad's deported!"

And that's why, you know, I knew where my dad was and what deported meant.
