[Bit 1]

...seven years ago tonight, my teacher, Miss Garlic,

Carly Garlic, she aired of the Garlic Fortune.

She -- old garlic money.

You guys would have loved her.

She pulled me aside and she said, "Titty boy LaCroix," and I said, "Speaking?"

And she said five words that changed my life.

She said, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

And I told her the truth, Austin.

I said, "I want a relapse."

And she was startled.

I think she was startled because a relapse is predicated upon an initial addiction, but

she's a sheep.

[Bit 2]

So seven years ago I would have been 12.

I'm 19 now.

I've never looked better.

Maybe he's born with it.

Maybe it's from huffing ether.

But science isn't there yet to tell.

[Bit 3]

But it's funny to do drugs when you're 12 because two years before that you were 10.

So you're a little kid.

You're like a little kid.

Like I can remember doing air duster with my friends.

And we're 12 years old.

I can remember doing duster and my buddy would be like, "What's the biggest dog you've ever

seen?"

And I, "My neighbor's dog's fucking massive."

[Bit 4]

But you shouldn't do duster.

I've lost a lot of good friends like that.

Chris Benoit, Aaron Carter.

Chris Benoit couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Especially around the holidays, but...

Chris Benoit murdered his family, allegedly.

I think Ray Mysterio did it.
