I like that. Before the show you take your Rolex off you put your psycho on
To these are new medication that's the problem tuck my chain in when somebody comes in I pull it out
You're a silver guy. I know how to dress up a t-shirt
What's it supposed to be like now? It always falls backwards, but then I ended up liking it the way it hangs
Yeah, and I figured should I get across but I feel like that's too much of a strong statement. This kid screwball
I like it. Is there an agnostic symbol you can put on your chain? I for I way or a change drop
Just a guy going like this. Yeah, just a guy going. What do you think? I had a dragon at one point
Did you ever drag seventh grade charm? We called them charms. You and a charms hit big, shout out DMX.
Yeah, your level of fucking scum,
gum on the bottom of my shoe,
filly trash that shows up in your photos.
I can smell your photos.
You walked right into it, Yanni.
We got a couple for you.
I have a couple, a couple.
So I've been posting these throwback Thursday pictures of me as a younger dirtbag.
Yeah. Yanni's first one in all the time.
Yeah. So I have a couple in the hopper that I haven't posted yet.
Right. Because you're a bit of a fashionable guy.
Well, I mean, a stylish kid.
If you could sit a T-shirt with chain out fashionably.
Yeah. With a broken chain hanging.
When did you get your first pair of Jordans?
Were you rocking Jordans back in the day? Yeah since I was a little kid yeah but I am the type
of guy that when an event comes up family or otherwise I have to take a trip to Banana Republic.
You gotta go get the knock around yeah. I gotta go get the one thing that I need to wear. Fresh.
I don't own it and anytime I get one it only lasts about a year before my body changes out of it.
Sure. You're familiar.
It's really, it gets a week, dude.
No, yeah, the body doesn't have time to catch up.
It's always stains to get me.
Oh, it's the stains to get you.
Ah, that goddamn olive oil.
Yeah.
Woo!
That Marcelo sauce sticks.
I'm telling you that.
You can't get the olive oil out and it's frustrating because it technically is translucent, kind
of transparent, but it's just thicker.
Sure, it shows.
Jams me up, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Not good. Every shirt, every time I go out to dinner, I wear a new shirt.
I account that into the cost of the dinner,
because I know the journey.
My waistline jams me up.
I'm surprised you're pretty thin today, though.
You're walking low.
It fluctuates.
You don't hang on to them when you get back down?
I do, but by that time, they got a couple mothball holes.
Bell bottoms aren't in anymore.
Yeah, the bell bottoms aren't in anymore. Bell bottoms aren't in anymore.
Mothball holes, where you living?
I got the wrong season.
You know, I got like a beige, but I'm in January.
I got a christening.
What do you know about, I'm sorry, do you know about all that?
Do you know when to wear what as far as colors?
Yeah, I think you go darker in the winter.
Uh-huh.
And I think you go pink when you get.
Don't wear red in LA either.
And some of it is locational.
Sure.
Yeah, Philly don't matter. Don't matter. Don't matter in Philly, as long as of it is locational. Sure. Yeah. Philly, don't matter.
Don't matter.
Don't matter in Philly.
As long as you got.
Sweats in a blazer.
Put a McNabb jersey on and you're good to go.
I went to a one-year-old birthday party of my wife's
friend this weekend in the encompassed area of Philly,
which is Jersey.
Sure.
Very Philly cultured.
It was a Philly- one year old birthday party.
Oh shit.
For a kid that I could clearly tell was going to grow up to be a bitch.
It was the father's wish, pushing it on him.
Really?
Baseball cookies.
Oh he's really throwing, he's pulling out all the stops.
Yeah, Big League Chew, grab bags, and everyone was wearing Philly jerseys.
What did you wear to that?
I wore, I might be wearing the same outfit.
Yeah, I might be in the same outfit.
I was kind of shorts in it.
I was kind of on the new comfortable on.
Oh, yeah.
On clouds or something.
There's Swedish or Norwegian or something.
OK.
Yeah.
And an unhappy look on my face.
Shorts.
No, you didn't go jersey.
You stepped out of it.
Well, it wasn't.
Oh, no.
You don't wear jerseys.
I wasn't close enough to the crew.
Gotcha.
Yeah. And plus, I would have shown up in a Yankee jersey, would have started wasn't close enough to the crew. Gotcha.
And plus, I would have shown up in a Yankee jersey,
would have started a brawl.
Fist fight.
Fist fight at a one-year-old birthday party.
Cops show up.
You're beating up a five-year-old.
I'm talking about baseball cake.
He hit the baseball cake with the bat.
It was full, Philly.
I don't think anyone there had a passport, to be honest with you.
How was the grub?
How was the spread?
Grub was good. Yeah, Italian family, was the grub? How was the spread? Grub was good. It was good?
Yeah, Italian family, so the grub was excellent.
Nice house?
It was in a banquet hall.
It was in a banquet hall.
I can smell that place.
A banquet hall that needed a reno.
A lot of them do out there.
They got chaffing dishes that are about 45 years old.
I mean this place,
I mean it looked like Tooties. It was a little like a lot of plank wood. Oh, yeah
Yeah, I don't think they changed it since the 80s the sternos or just zippos. Yeah
Running we went into the game room and they had the basketball shoot, but it was a carpenter made it
So it was like built out of wood and painted black and one of the rims was down. Yeah, somebody done somebody dumped on it
black and one of the rims was down. Yeah.
Somebody dumped on it.
Somebody, yeah, kids were crawling all over it.
Chain net.
Yeah, they had a Star Wars,
Star Wars,
Video game? Video game.
Really?
It was a really, I don't think it's changed since the 80s.
I'm always amazed with those places.
All of a sudden the kitchen is just there
and the kitchen looks like no one has ever cooked in it
since the 50s.
Well, because they, the business is so sporadic in a banquet hall,
right?
It's so seasonal, you're doing what?
You're doing proms.
You got, yeah.
Proms, Christenings, Easter.
We do our Christmas parties out.
My family's so big, we have to have one.
We rent one out in Philly, and our Christmas party's there.
It's a real middle class, like, jamboree.
Get to get a banquet hall.
Oh, yeah.
Because you can't really bring people over to the home,
because then you've got to take the seats off the covers. Sure. You can't be taking a plastic off the counter, the whole nine yards. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because you can't really bring people over to the home, because then you've got to take the seats off the covers.
Sure.
You can't be taking a plastic off the couch
the whole nine yards.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
People wearing their dirty shoes in your rec room.
It's like having a party on a basketball court.
That old one in Florida.
You know what I mean?
Sometimes even the basketball net's
raised up to the ceiling like it's a big gym.
Yeah, yeah.
Tough luck.
But before we get into it, what were some, because you grew up, you know, you were of age in the,
in the eighties, right?
You were a teenager in the eighties?
Nineties.
Nineties.
Jesus Christ.
I'm sorry.
From my, my fifties?
I'm close though.
Yeah, I wasn't, I didn't say the sixties.
You weren't off, yeah, you weren't off that far.
Walking around in a zoot suit listening to Cab Calloway.
You're flashing, You make the scene.
My first appearance was that night at the improv.
I'm fucking.
Who books that, by the way?
What was not alive, whoever it is looking back, what was one choice
where you were like that?
Like, because specifically at that time, fashion choices were very
they were big swings, huge, huge, like the fucking Zcav or something.
Like what was the, where you look back,
like damn, that was a tough one.
I think I was part of the generation
that made the switch from shoe to sneaker.
Where sneaker became socially acceptable.
On a suit, like?
Suit, just any, no, not on a suit yet.
That came later.
That came 2000s.
That was hip hop, did that. That was 2000s. That was hip hop did that.
That was 2000s.
Once Jay-Z started wearing suits and like button ups.
But sneakers like all the time, you know,
like going to school in sneakers.
A lot of schools you were supposed to wear shoes.
Really?
Yeah, but like then the sneaker.
I was supposed to wear shoes.
Yeah, like my family would always give me a hard time
about sneakers.
To put on a sneaker, you're going out.
It was like a civil rights movement for sneakers,
and I was part of it.
Yeah.
They're at the sit-ins.
Well, you only wore your sneakers
when you got to gym class.
You'd throw your Chuck Taylors on or whatever they were.
Well, geez, you guys are making me in the 50s again.
He's shooting underhanded and shit.
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah.
I got my draft card.
God damn it.
They pulled my number. He's sending me to Vietnam
Great era of music
Yeah, I was talking to one of my cousins we were asking the kids
Last weekend when I was home was I what do you guys listen to people would ask people that
The the one kid was like I don want to listen to uh 60s and
70s all classic rock. Are you
going to be? Yeah, I think I do
that too. I always put on like
70s rock. It's a great era.
It's good. It's easy. Easy
listening. Yeah. Timeless too.
It's nice. Real timeless. Yeah.
I I realized we're getting older
because I saw Seinfeld last
night. It was on TV land. Whoa.
That's it. Yeah. I'm a big me
TV guy. You know what that is? No. What? Meat TV? Meat TV. It's real old school stuff. Gilligan's Island, All in the Family, MASH. It's running all day. It's okay.
Yeah, once you start watching those, I think you're officially older. Yeah. Yeah. Once you start doing nostalgia watching, I watched an episode of the Jetsons the other day.
Whoa. Yeah. It was on. It was available. I think they have them like on hula or whatever I went down
They predicted a lot of stuff, right?
They really think about it sure yeah, she's got like automatic buttons everywhere
Dishwasher stuff like that. I mean, it's pretty accurate. I mean, it's not like they wrote that in the joining
Yeah, like they got 60s though. I think that shows from the like they wrote that in the joining. Yeah. Like they had. 60s, though.
I think that show's from the 60s.
Yeah, it's from the 60s.
Yeah.
Hanna Barbera, I believe.
Yeah.
I think I said that.
Mrs. Jetson was a piece, too.
Hanna Barbera of Hanna Barbera, his cousin,
was my pediatrician growing up.
Was he?
Yeah, Dr. Barbera.
Not to be confused with Gary Barbera, the car dealer
on the North East, on the Boulevard.
Based on your pictures, I would not
think that would be your pediatrician.
Sure.
That you had a, you were like two degrees from class.
I was two degrees from a lot of residual cash.
You know what I mean?
A lot of mailbox money.
From those pictures, I wouldn't think your parents would,
you wouldn't go to a pediatrician.
Take him to the vet.
Yeah, he's all right, he's just upset to feel he's lost.
I'll get over it. I'll get over it. It'll be fine. So these are I
Was trying to find some to really frustrate you. Yeah, and these are from a very specific time period of
College yeah, when I would be trying to like I went to college I went to college Temple University
I just janitor. Yeah, he's the only one in our family to have a college degree
It only took me seven years.
You're the first one.
You graduated, right?
I graduated.
From an out-of-the-funk school, or there was a scandal at it.
There was a scandal. Good memory.
The American University, Washington, DC.
That's not defunct?
No, it's a very good school.
Right before I went there the
What they call like the Dean or whatever? Yeah, it's been a while. I don't forget what they call
the manager yeah, he was making obscene phone calls to the students and
the jerky boys
No, like sexual calls, but kind of like the jerky way
But um, and he got caught and then but had tenure, and he was such a good professor.
He stayed. I had him as a professor.
That could happen back then.
Now you could be like, hey, just put him in another building, no one will know.
That's actually a good point.
That was a good point.
You could do that now.
Hey, Pappas, what's your number?
You'd have to kill him at the quad.
And the funny thing is the kids wanted him to stay, because he was such a...
Now the kids would be the ones asking for his head
Sure, he made up real good sexy stories
Back then to Israel Palestine problems happen
But back then we had more of the attitude like yeah kind of flares up like herpes every couple of months
You keep it cooking. Yeah, you don't get all excited over one be like don't blow your wad
It's gonna happen again a little abbreviate
You'll be alright and the jokes. It's always too soon. Yeah
Oh, yeah before we get into this real quick since you mentioned school
What was the high school that you went to refresh?
I went to York prep you went to York prep in York prep at Google. Let's see if Yannis Poppets
Whether we're Robert Chambers the Central Park murder when no shit
Well, the one of the things we've been doing is to find out if people are the notable alums
of their high school.
Yeah, am I notable?
Are you on there?
I don't know, I doubt it.
And if not, who do we have?
Because I can't make it for some reason.
I wonder if that guy's on there.
What was he, the Central Park shooter?
Oh, he was major New York news.
He's probably the dean of students now.
His name was Robert Chambers,
huge news in New York City.
He went on a date
or something, they went to Central Park and he murdered a girl. Robert E. Chambers? Yeah,
he's probably the most famous alum from my school. The preppy killer? Yeah, holy shit!
The prep school killer. Were you there when he was there? No, no. He was probably just
like, forrest, go ahead and walk her right next to him. I always get into a school right
after a massive scandal. Hey, send the application in there. They need a good thing. They're hurting. We need a pretty
face to smooth things over. York Prep was like the school that took like all the people who couldn't
get into other schools, but their parents had just like a little money for private school.
Gotcha. So it was a bunch of just, okay and... Is he on the notable alum?
Strong list.
All right, we start with Liv Tyler.
Yes, who I went to school with.
Who I went to school with.
Liv Tyler of...
Yes.
Aerosmith's daughter.
Aerosmith.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, yeah.
She couldn't get in anywhere better?
Not that it's saying it's a bad school, but you figure she could go anywhere.
Everyone back then was like wearing jabos and smoking weed and listening to hip hop and being bad.
Right after that, Yanis Papas.
Oh, am I notable?
You're the second notable.
You're number two, dog.
Where on what website?

All right, that's it for Yanni, everybody.
I did it!
That's the end of the episode, Lee.
Too good for this show.
Dude, you know they tried to kick me out of that school
so bad.
Why?
They tried hard.
He was wearing sneakers.
I was a behavior problem, just a class clown.
I wasn't a bad kid.
I was a class clown.
You mix it up in the hallway,
you ever get into a scrap? Yeah, a few of those. Yeah? New York bad kid. I was a class clown. You mix it up in the hallway? You ever get into a scrap?
Yeah, a few of those.
Yeah.
New York kids, you got it.
What's that record looking like?
Any knockouts?
I win 22.
Well, one-on-one probably-
16 wedgies.
One-on-one's not so bad,
but I never fought anyone bigger than me.
That was the rule.
That was my rule.
Hey, you're lucky if you were six inches smaller,
I'd kick your ass, pal. My rule was not bigger than me or male. That was
big. And but got stopped out a few times. In my era, you just
got you got stomped out a few times.
What was the scary thing about city kids and the burbs that
never happened. It was always it was like it was like a
gentleman's duel from the 1800s. I'm meeting in the yard.
Meet behind the gym, you get a nice circle going and you just held your own until the
janitor came and broke it up.
In New York it was just like you know 20 on one for no reason.
Not conducive for a good nervous system.
I feel like in the 90s too, stomped out became a term.
That wasn't you, you got stomped out.
You got stomped, you got just you got just yeah, you got snuffed
I like kicking you when you were laying you turn the corner you just like oh
My favorite my favorite one I ever heard was this guy was telling the stories again, and I'm sitting there and out of nowhere boom

Another thing we've been doing on the show as well,
while we're in this time period, at what point,
who, it could have been anybody
Could be like a local celebrity
What was the most before you started doing comedy the most famous person you ever met first person?
I could have been like, you know that a local DJ or somebody or you know, yeah
Who was like gotta be big I'm trying to think
You ever have lunch with Regis Feldman or no. No, I met David Dinkins once, the old mayor of New York.
No shit!
David Dinkins!
Mr. Dinkins, would you please be my mayor?
I think maybe at his 80th or 70th birthday party, I can't remember.
You were there?
I was there.
I got an invite.
No, my mother went to law school with him.
My mother went to Brooklyn Law School, and she's the same age as Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
So there was like three girls in all the law schools in
New York. She was one of them. And she went to she knew Ruthie B
too. She didn't know Ruthie B. Okay. But she knew David D.
Whoa. If I tell you there was only three girls in the law
school, you can imagine how many blacks to her.
Shout out to
this is after the Korean War.
No Koreans either.
No Koreans.
Two Italians.
There was one guy.
They had to pass as Irish.
I think back then it was just really Thurgood Marshall
and then David Dinkins.
I think there was two nationwide.
So you met him after he was the mayor?
I met him after he was the mayor. I met him after he was the mayor.
So my mom knew him.
He was 80.
Were you alive when he was the mayor?
Oh yeah, I was very alive for that era.
Was he a good mayor?
He got a bad rap.
He got a bad rap.
It went him then Koch, right?
No, it went him then Giuliani.
He beat Giuliani and then Giuliani beat him.
But a lot of people don't know,
there was a lot of race riots during him.
That was when there was Howard Beach,
there was Crown Heights riots.
Crown Heights.
This was in the 90s.
This was the 90s.
So Crown Heights was like real close to my house.
I had friends that lived there.
That was like the Caribbean versus the Jewish people, right?
That's right, yeah.
Which is a wild combination.
So one of those heads, like.
But a hell of a barbecue, right?
Nice.
I'll take the jerk off the fish and leaves.
Let's do it. Yeah. That was
Eastern Park. Eastern Park was kind of a dividing
line between the blacks on one side, Jews on
the other, and they were Orthodox Jews.
They were Hasidics. Old school. Yeah, they're Hasidics.
So one of those Hasidic
And they don't fuck around either.
Hasidic EMTs.
The ambulances. They hit a black kid by accident and it just all
the tension from the ambulance. They hit him by accident in
the ambulance. Okay. The tension that was boiling up.
Yeah. Gotcha. It just the riots. That was all into
Dickens but the thing about Dickens in retrospect, he was
the one that started increasing the hires of the police force.
The city started getting safer before Giuliani came in.
He's the one I think that actually brokered
a lot of those deals with corporations that-
They get them in there and stuff like that.
Get them in there.
So Giuliani definitely was the hard-nosed prosecutor he was
and most of the credit goes,

night. That summer night summer night in Philly?

I remember that night swinging a miss.
Three, four, five runs right off camera.
And I hate the jeans and sandals.
I hate them.
That was the most, you know, there was no-
Were the jeans hanging over the sandal,
like hitting the ground, getting dirty at the bottom?
Man, I had a pair of those.
Sometimes I'd roll them up.
That's if I felt like I was European, you know?
When they started to fray and they would just get wet gunked on the bottom.
Yeah, just ride it out.
I put my legs up on the couch, my mom be like, what are you doing with that?
Freaking out on. Yeah, man.
Those genes are coming back a little bit.
They're coming. They're bagging.
The kids are the kids are going back. Are those true religions?
Oh, never, never, dude.
Those were, those were
like, like a prayer. Yikes. I think this is the phase where I wasn't wearing
underwear either. Oh, you're free balling. You didn't go to that phase? Free balling in jeans in the
summertime. I would do it if I ran out, if I didn't do laundry, but I wouldn't do it
intentionally. I went through a whole period. Where you would do it if I ran out if I didn't do laundry, but I wouldn't do it intentionally I went through a whole period where you would do it intentionally. Yeah, I wouldn't wear jean. I thought I was sexy
I wasn't wearing jeans or I wasn't they were elastic waist
That I didn't wear socks that looked during lacrosse in college all through college. I never wore socks. Yeah. Yeah big vibes

your crew hard. This I think was a fancy night this is like the Christmas like
we're gonna dress up as you know. So still again not working where you need to wear
a tie. No and a fancy night. I had an express credit card that they made me open and
jammed on my credit for eight years, dude.
So I was buying all this stuff on credit and never paying it.
So this was a fancy night in a basement.
It was a row home in North Philly.

That was probably one of the fanciest nights of my life.
It was a girl's 21st birthday party.
Her parents got her a party bus and we went to the city go clubbing.
I remember that age, I know that age where it's just like you have no concept that the t-shirt
under the white shirt shows as much as it does. Yeah. And that all you got to do is put on a button
down and you're in a fancy situation. I might as well be going to the White House in this.
That's how this was like, what are you wearing? Like,
I bought that outfit. Are you wearing water shoes? What are those? What is that footwear?
That's a pair of Aqua socks, dog. Come on, dude. Those are 100% Kenneth Kohl's.
Shores are Kenneth Kohl's. I don't do that. I don't. Remember for a while, the Kenneth
Kohl with the flat in the front? I wore those about five years after they were in style.
And I remember you seeing me for the first time and like what are you a cobbler?
