[Bit 1]

I'm sorry if I sound weird. I have fat parents.

Which does affect my speaking voice. It does. I didn't think it did, but when I started doing comedy,

A lot of people told me that I had a weird voice,

and I do.

I sound like I'm doing guided meditation for heroin addicts.

And so I tried to figure out why my voice sounds like this,

and I thought about it,

and I realized that during my formative years

of learning how to speak,

my parents always had their mouths full.

So now I just have like a mashed potato accent.

I just sound like I'm always chewing through something.

[Bit 2]

I have loser parents, my parents are losers.

My dad's name is Larry, my mom's an alcoholic.

They're big losers.

My dad does loser things.

Like my dad, he smokes five cigars a day.

That's an insane amount of cigars.

One cigar takes at least an hour to smoke.

My dad is smoking five hours worth of cigars a day.

One cigar, eight inches long.

My dad is smoking 40 inches of cigar a day.

My dad is smoking the length of a modest couch in cigar.
