[Bit 1]

You know, people, I found out the word "chink" is an actual word.

is an actual word, right?

Not just a common greeting that it had in high school.

No, no, no, seriously, man.

Chink, if you look it up, man, it means dent or crack.

All right?

Yeah, yeah.

But the common phrase is "chink in the armor,"

which was kind of disconcerting because earlier this year,

when I went to the Renaissance Fair, right?

[Bit 2]

But, um, no, no, no, so what happens, right?

Yeah, obviously a short king, you know?

'Cause that's Asian.
