[Bit 1]

>> I was out in New York City and while I was there,
a couple of my buddies wanted to go on a wrap tour to
see where all the Brooklyn rappers grew up.
So we went there and while we were walking around,
my buddy goes, "Hey man,
wouldn't it be sick if we had a time machine right now?"
I said, "Why?" He goes, "Because then we can go back in time and then be part of
the culture when they were alive and walk around the same footsteps as they did."
I was like, "Yeah, I'm all right on that, dude, to be honest.
I'm just as a white guy from Canada,
I'm not going back to a Brooklyn ghetto in the late 80s to get robbed at gunpoint."

[Bit 2]

Then his wife pipes up and she goes, "Yeah, well,
you guys are stupid and you would use a time machine for something dumb like that."
I said, "Well, what would you use it for?"
She goes, "Well, I'd probably make a difference in the world.
I'd use my education to advance civilization.
I said, "Oh, that's great, but what would you do?"
She goes, "Well, I'd go back in time to the 1400s
and teach people modern medicine back then."
I had to look at her and go,
"At what point do you think a man would ever listen to you
in the 1400s?"
Let alone take a medical intervention, you know?
They'd be like, "Oh, you have a cure for my ailment?"
Well, see if you float.
That's exactly what they would do.
One word, they'd be like, "Get her, boys!
