Long Duck Dong is about your age, Sam.
You two should have a lot to chat about.
I love visiting with Grandma and Grandpa
and writing letters to parents
and pushing lawn mowing machines
so Grandpa's hyena don't get disturbed. ស្រូវាប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ What's up to our matriarchy out there?
Guess who's back from Bavaria?
The boys are back.
Yeah, it's Chrissy Cream Puff Tits and Yanni fucking Bratwurst Papi.
Papas, We were in
Germany, in Bavaria,
in Austria, and let me tell you
something. We
fucking had a great time
and it was just
good to go see Germany and see
what the USA, the fucking boys,
did to that country
because they fucking deserved it.
Is it fair to say that we went
wild? Because we
went wild. Make no mistake.
Make no mistake. I'm on three cups of
cork right now writing paragraphs
to girls' inboxes on Instagram.
I'm just going
wild.
You did just go wild.
I went wild. I mean, I saw
one chick that actually had a job just DM'd me.
You just don't know how to talk to girls with jobs.
I can't.
Yeah, Yanni made that very clear.
Yanni, I can't talk to a girl with a job.
And she and I just fucking flipped out.
And, you know, I ruined it.
And it's just what it is.
I got new furniture and it's all okay.
The text that you sent, you just sent like four paragraphs four times.
Like you're a first grader
and you've never talked to a girl before.
Should I send her a message?
No, you have to stop now.
Because, yeah.
You can only, yeah.
You can only talk to girls
where the first message is she's just sending you
the back of her ass.
Yeah.
And then you send a couple of cucumber emojis.
And that's it.
And the remote dick.
That's what it is.
A girl who could put together a sentence, you don't know what to do with that.
Because we had a fucking wild time.
You smoked a pack of cigarettes.
Yeah.
Way song she ain't.
Yeah.
I mean, that's what that means.
What are you doing?
Yeah. That was supposed to be our secret. Oh, shit. Wei Songxian. Yeah! I mean, that's what that means. What are you doing? Yeah!
That was supposed to be our secret.
Oh, shit.
I would say cut that out, but we know Zach's going to forget.
Yeah.
Do you know how funny it must be for the people listening to hear every time we say,
Zach, cut that out?
Yeah.
It's just right in there.
I mean, last week, what got on the podcast, I'm going to get destroyed in court for it.
Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
Yeah.
Am I too old to enjoy that?
No.
Listen, farts are fucking funny.
I know they're easy laughs.
I get the easy laughs. I don't do the best.
No, I get the easy laughs.
But we are probably the only podcast where the guys, every time they have a fart, stop whatever's going on, and we fart into these microphones.
Make no mistake.
This is a studio that all the podcasts at Riotcast use.
We fart into these microphones on the regular.
Yeah, but you know what?
It's like people always want to flip out.
Like, oh, you fart into the mic.
It's like it's fucking air.
Okay?
It's like it's fucking air, okay?
There's no shit particles that are going to get through the barrier of my asshole, plus my ass warts, plus my underwear, plus my shorts onto the mic. So it's like if you're someone who's complaining about a fart on the mic, it's like just stop trying to make it about you.
Well, that's because you've got big cheeks.
Yeah.
So the fart kind of goes right to the top and then recedes like a wave on short tide.
I have an innie asshole, not an outie.
I have an innie. But let's outie. I have an innie.
But let's talk about, let's start by talking.
We visited Bavaria.
And I just want to.
Munich, Germany, which is Bavaria.
Yeah.
And we went on an upper deck tour bus.
I mean, we hit so many tours.
Did I do well with the tours?
I mean, you are a veteran, but you wanted to fart.
You were trying to get a fart.
And you pushed and you peed in your pants.
So that happened in Bavaria where Chris just squirted in his own pants.
Wow.
Can I just tell you?
Can I just say that long message I sent?
Yeah.
Why not put it out to the public?
No, I'm not going to say that long message I sent.
She just double tapped hard at it.
No response.
Wow.
So I'll just never message her again.
Yeah, I think you want to lay back in the cut now.
Should I just write I'm sorry?
I think she's contacting the authorities.
Should I just write I'm sorry?
Just don't write anything.
No, you got to let it go now at this point, Chris.
What do you think, Zach?
I think you should write I'm sorry because that would just take it funnier.
Yeah, if you say I'm sorry, I mean, then she's, I mean, she might contact the authorities.
Or you could just say, I saw you liked it.
What's up?
Yeah.
Chris, are you really writing this?
No, no, no.
It's a bad idea.
I'm just going to have to never talk to her again and probably unfollow her and everything, right?
I mean, I'm just going to have to forget she exists.
Because you live two beers in.
Any other normal person has had two full Hefeweizens to live the way you live.
That's just how you live.
You go, you get up, and you go.
You're a hyena.
You're not even a hyena.
You know what you are?
What?
A hyena.
A hyena.
Because you say hyena like Israeli is your first language.
Yeah.
Hyena.
Hyena.
And Delilah.
Yeah, my daughter.
What's her name?
Hyena.
Hyenas.
All right. So we toured out.
We toured out bad.
So as I said on the last podcast, I found out your boy Chrissy D is only 8% Italian and over 40% German.
But it's 8% enough to be proud of what Italy means to New York City.
Yeah, okay.
Here's the thing.
Here's the deal.
Here we go.
Steel pipe Chrissy coming at you.
I was discussing this in my own thoughts because I'm a schizophrenic.
So here's the thing, okay?
If you removed Italy, if you removed Italian immigrants specifically from any major city,
I'm talking about New York, Boston, Chicago, the truth is if you removed Italians, you would lose
the best food, the best
culture, you would lose
your favorite movie scenes,
you would lose the charm.
Italians, not only do we have the best food,
we make other
cultures work.
Like, the Jews are only working
really hard because the Italians are
collecting their fucking money. Push them around a little bit. Push them around a little bit. You need an
Italian to push. Because they grew up in the same neighborhoods. Push them around a little bit. You
need Italians to push people around and keep people on your toes. I'm sick and tired of the
arguments about, you know, these other cultures or, you know, every other city being better than
New York City. It's just Italians in New York are just number one. What if you remove, if you
remove Italian culture from New York, what do you have if you remove italian culture from new york you
have cleveland that's just what it is that's what it separates i know i know people like oh cleveland
has a little italy yeah no i know i've been there i've been there okay it's like cleveland
what do you want me to say it's like i'm happy to have the support but from the fans but it's
like it's not like i don't like the city but it's like just stop trying to act like new'm happy to have the support from the fans, but it's not like I don't like the city. But it's like just stop trying to act like New York.
We have 9 million people.
We really fucking – you've really gone in on Cleveland.
I didn't mean Cleveland.
All right, let's say Pittsburgh.
No, you did.
You did.
You like Pittsburgh, actually.
I'm sorry to Cleveland.
Cleveland, look.
What did we say?
We said even during the day it feels like night or something.
Yeah, no, Cleveland, even when it's open, it's closed.
It's closed, yeah.
That's just what it is.
It's what it is. Yeah, I feels like night or something. Yeah, no, Cleveland, even when it's open, it's closed. It's closed, yeah. That's just what it is. It's what it is.
Yeah, I just, I, yeah.
Italians, Italians, it's a real, it's kind of the biggest factor in what makes New York
the best.
And the reason why I'm bringing it up is because when we were in Munich, we found ourselves
in a mostly Italian-less culture, and there was a big problem.
Yeah, also no blacks.
Blacks and Italians, which ironically...
Blacks and Italians.
Ironically, historically, in urban areas like New York,
they hate each other, but guess what?
Yeah.
They both want to be each other,
and neither one wants to admit it.
Every black friend you've ever had,
what's their favorite movie?
Fucking Scarface.
Good fellas.
Bronx Tale.
And Italian kids, when I was growing up,
wearing starter jackets, getting designs in their head,
wearing fucking high-top Reeboks, listening to fucking...
Yeah, you know, I like Big Daddy Kenny.
I mean, it's a good song.
I mean, I wouldn't let my sister date him.
I want them out of my fucking neighborhood.
But it's good music.
Yeah.
Yeah, see, I agree with that.
I agree with blacks and Italians being the two most important cultures to any major U.S. city.
And that's just what I'm trying to say.
And it's just what it is.
And I know, you know, we'll get arguments, people on the Patreon, people say, hey, I heard that.
Hey, you forgot about Czechoslovakian culture.
What about Polish?
What about Vietnamese?
It's like, shut up, okay?
Like, I like that.
I like a Vietnamese food.
You know, everybody who wants to cuck out and be like, you know, wants to go, oh, let's go have a Vietnamese sandwich.
That's once a week, once a month.
But what are you doing three to five nights of the week?
Pizza.
And what's pizza?
Italian.
Yeah.
It's just what it is.
The thing you're eating most nights is Italian food.
Even when you want to go fucking vegan and keto and blah, blah, blah, blah.
What do they always have a recipe for?
Peach.
Let's be honest.
The simulator, this is a game.
This is a game.
Everything is set up in opposition.
That's why there's no sweet spot in life, right?
Yeah.
Whenever you want this.
Shout out Damien Lemon for that.
Shout out Damien Lemon.
You know?
The grass is always green on the other side.
You get on the other side, then you miss that.
There's no sweet spot.
You're always hopping from one leg to the next.
Yeah.
So this is a game.
This is a simulation.
And there are certain codes that you need to decode,
certain perfect things within this imperfect game that you can find.
And when you do, you get to the next level.
One of those things for food was the tomato.
Yep.
The Italians decoded the fucking tomato.
Yeah.
And that is the cornerstone of the most delicious cuisine here we have in America.
America.
And guess what?
Munich doesn't have tomatoes.
They don't have it.
Germany, listen.
Is a tomato-less, but it's also fume-less.
No, it's fume-less, but you know, I'll be honest with you.
Yeah.
Germany has no fumes, but, Germany has no fumes.
But 2018 Germany has no fumes.
1941 Germany?
Fumes.
They were being assholes.
Fumes.
Fumes.
Yeah, it's the medieval fumes.
Yeah, and then but Austria.
In the medieval times they had fumes too.
But in the medieval times they had fumes. But Germany medieval fumes. Yeah, and then, but Austria. In the medieval times, they had fumes, too. But in the medieval times, they had fumes.
But Germany had fumes.
But Austria, Salzburg, Austria, no fumes.
Gorgeous.
You could lick off.
Salzburg, Austria was clean.
Because every guy you see in Austria, you just know in those Levi dungarees, fumeless.
You're going to have to lead the podcast.
I know you always do,
but I'm fucking...
I've had too much coffee.
It just hit me in a way where I can't concentrate
and I'm bugging out a little bit.
I drank half a bottle of CBD
oil by accident this morning.
I told him to put a drop under his tongue.
He fucking took a whole syringe full.
Cuz, your life is a candle that's being burned at both ends.
Okay, wait a bit.
Can I just, hold on.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, what are we, third grade?
She liked it.
She double-tapped liked it, and then she wrote, sounds good.
Yeah.
It's still bad.
I don't know, cuz, but it doesn't sound good.
Let me see how long your message is.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
It was like two of them.
Yo, cuz, yours looks like an internet agreement.
Scroll to the bottom and click yes.
Yeah.
And hers just looks like either decline or accept.
Wow.
You're losing it, cuz.
So what do I do here to rectify this?
You just leave it alone for now, because we're doing a podcast, so we're right in the middle of entertaining people.
Here's—
Weishengxian.
Yes.
Weishengxian.
All right.
Yeah, all right.
Let me focus.
Let me focus.
Go ahead.
The boys went to Bavaria.
Listen.
Make no mistake. We're going to Bavaria. Listen, make no mistake.
We're going to have a show one day, or we're going to be doing live podcasts one day where we go to your place,
wherever you live, or every place in the world. The hyenas will come, and we will learn the history of that place and do a live show there because all we want to do is tour, and Chrissy wants to pitch a show to the Food Network called I Shouldn't Eat This.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because you eat a lot of fucking shit you should not eat.
You are way off the wagon.
I fell off the fucking wagon.
I would say every single day in Germany I had a swig because Germans are good at chocolates.
They are good at chocolates.
And that's about it.
Food-wise.
Food-wise, the Germans kind of don't know what they're doing.
It's ballpark food.
I mean, it's hot dogs and sauerkraut.
We went to a Zagat,
which the fireman I was with,
I said, oh, did you guys go to that Augustina restaurant?
It's Zagat-rated.
And they changed the Z to an F and then called me that.
They said, oh, you mean faggot-rated?
That's what they said.
Way song she ain't.
Yeah.
And what was the other joke you heard about when the guy said one of his relatives died at Dachau?
Yeah, well, we went to—
This is fireman humor.
This is fireman humor.
And this is what, like, you know, this is how, like, people go to jail for this shit today.
But I was just telling you, you know, it was a fun – because it's just a joke.
It's just a funny joke.
One of the firemen, we went to Dachau concentration camp,
which we'll talk about in a second, and then he said to me, the fireman,
my boy Big T, he said to me, he said, you know, my uncle died in the Holocaust,
and I was like – and he said it sincerely.
He was like, my uncle died in the Holocaust.
And I was like, oh, I'm sorry to hear that, man.
And he was like, yeah, he fell out of one of the guard towers,
broke his neck.
It's a good joke.
It's a good joke, which is probably just a street joke
that was passed around, but it was good at the time.
Here's the deal.
Here's what it is.
Chrissy, look, Chrissy's somewhat of like, what would you say?
Transsexual?
Besides being super trans.
Yeah.
You're kind of like a G-list celebrity, you would say?
H, F?
I would say, let's be honest, in America?
Yeah.
Well, what?
Are we talking about black neighborhoods and Suffolk County, Long Island?
Because we're talking about predominantly black neighborhoods.
You are A-list.
And Suffolk County, Long Island? I'm close. I'm about A. You are A-list. And Suffolk County, Long Island?
I'm close.
I'm about A-B.
Yeah, yo, that's it.
Yo, you saw a guy called?
Yeah, I'm not.
Yo, Andrew Schultz, right?
Yeah, they call me Andrew Schultz.
But most other places, I would say an E.
An E to an F.
You're an E to an F-list celebrity here, but it's enough to get a lot of puss.
Plus, you're also a cute kid.
Yeah.
So you got cute going for you, and you also got that you're on TV, recognizable, so you
get a lot of puss based on those things.
Now, we went to Bavaria, which is a German state we're going to explain to you in a second
what the difference between Bavaria, Prussia, Austria is.
All German kids, all fumeless, but it's wild.
And you went there.
All the kids are tall.
Hitler was, you got to give him one thing.
He was right about one thing.
Cute kids.
Handsome kids.
The German kids were cute, good-looking guys.
So everyone basically looked like you, but a little taller and not as blown out.
Yeah.
Yeah, butts were a little tighter.
Butts were a little tighter, yeah.
And nobody gets sky-coated out there.
Nobody gets sky-coated.
Did you feel it?
I felt it. Not one woman looked little tighter, yeah. And nobody gets guy coat out there. Nobody gets guy coat. Did you feel it? I felt it.
Not one woman looked at me.
Yeah.
Not one.
I felt like Giannis walking through the streets of America.
That's what it is.
No, no.
No, that's exactly what it is.
Nobody looked at me.
Yeah.
I mean, zero.
Yeah.
Zero.
Zero.
And it was just, it was interesting.
Because you kind of look like just someone they went to school with who put on a lot of weight.
Who put on a lot.
Yeah, I look like a failure.
I mean, everybody out there was 6'3", 6'4", you know, 180.
And I'm 6'1", 235.
Yeah, and they all had blonde hair, fumeless.
Yeah.
Good looking people though, huh?
Good looking people.
And being a comedian out there, I don't think it carries the same gravitas or attraction.
They don't have that sort of kind of thing that we have.
It's not a man to them.
They just all love Michael Jackson, apparently.
I was there with the firefighters in a bar one night where Giannis was home Googling Nazi videos.
Or was in the hotel Googling Nazi stuff for the next day.
For sure, the German government knew we were there.
They were watching us and tapped our phones because we were Googling a lot of Nazi videos.
A lot of Nazi shit.
And then, yeah, and then Giannis was standing outside in public in the middle of a public square
watching a Nazi video from exactly where we were standing 60 years ago screaming,
this is where Hitler stood.
So I was like, you've got to shut up.
Just to give you a little context, what we learned being over in Bavaria is in Germany, in the country of Germany, it is violently illegal.
I'm just using the word violent to emphasize how frowned upon it is.
I mean, you do jail time.
Three to five years if you put up a, if you hail.
If you cannot hail, you cannot, I think there's little loopholes for theater and things like that.
But generally, you cannot hail Hitler.
You cannot, you know, it's very sensitive to even say the word Nazi or Nazi jokes.
You got to be careful out there.
It's a whole fucking thing.
You got to imagine.
We're in a place where, you know, we're talking 45. So you're talking about 80 years ago.
It's people are still alive who we walk past in the streets that were there for that time period.
There's people still alive today who were in the same room as Hitler.
Unbelievable.
I mean, you know, my dad, my dad's 90.
So my dad, if my dad, people my dad's age were like fully conscious, cognizant people.
Your dad.
Yeah, this was going on.
My dad was born in 28 or 29.
He was 16, 17 years old.
He was 16, 17 years old when this shit went down.
So it's highly illegal to do anything like that.
You do jail time. In fact,
while we were there at Oktoberfest,
which is a shit show of drinking.
It's like an amusement park for beer.
Yeah, it really is.
Two, what was they, Swiss or Swedish?
They were Switzerland. Swiss. Two Swiss. Two Swiss what was they, Swiss or Swedish? They were Switzerland.
They were Swiss.
Two Swiss tourists, you could probably Google it,
got arrested and kicked out of the country for getting drunk
and throwing up Nazi salutes at Octoberfest.
Yeah, you get deported.
If you're not a German citizen, you get deported.
You can never come back to Germany.
If you are a German citizen, you get three to five years in jail.
It's what it is.
But here's the wild thing.
We're doing this Nazi walking tour in Munich.
Now, basically, Munich is where the Nazi party started.
It's where it started.
Adolf Hitler was living there.
He's from Austria originally.
And then after World War I, he moved to Munich
and kind of tried to get into art school, failed.
And then he started finding
himself hanging out at beer halls, which is just German culture.
Everything happens around beer and beer halls, which is massive.
You can Google photos of old beer halls.
There's like thousands of people would get together and drink brews and listen to political
speeches.
And Adolf was just, he would crush.
I mean, let's be honest.
The kid was a headliner., the kid was a headliner.
Oh, Hitler?
He was a headliner.
One thing about Hitler and the Nazis, those motherfuckers sold tickets.
Well, he sold tickets.
Yeah.
So, he.
Yeah, he sold tickets like he's the Andrew Schultz of.
Of Nazis, yeah.
Of Nazis, yeah.
Yeah, because he would crush.
He would, and he worked his way up to be the, like way up to be the head of the propaganda,
which back then propaganda has a negative connotation now
because of things like this, because of this time period.
Propaganda just meant the guy who speaks, the guy who's dealing with the public.
But now it's like propaganda means you're a fucking liar,
which is great because that's basically what he was doing.
But he was such a good speaker, which is great because that's basically what he was doing. That's what, yeah.
But he was such a good speaker, they used him for that.
And he realized his power, much like a Conor McGregor or a Donald Trump, and he wanted more.
He's like, I want to be the head of the party.
And they're like, get the fuck out of here.
So he left the party for a little while.
We're talking about, this is in like the 30s now, the early 30s.
And let me clarify, when he was the
head propaganda guy, I mean, we're talking
about, because a big thing with German politics is
going into beer halls, like, you know, beer gardens,
big beer halls, and that's where you do
your politics, that's where you do your political rants,
that's where people come and listen to you, still to this day.
They still do it in beer halls. It's a huge
thing. Drinking beer is
not, it doesn't have a negative
spin on it like it does here.
It's like encouraged to drink beer.
It's a part of the culture.
So Hitler and his crew were selling like, I'm talking about 10,000 seats.
I mean, well, Hitler started to really push tickets.
People really, and so then he figured it out that he was the draw.
He wanted more.
They kicked him out. He quit the party because he knew that if he left that they would see the light,
that without him they were really nothing.
And that's what happened.
And they saw, like, wow, this kid's ambitious and we don't really like this kid.
He's one of those guys you have in the office who's really a go-getter looking to get ahead,
but we need him because he pushes tickets.
He just pushes tickets. And when he left, no seats,
and when he came back, it sold out.
Yeah, he was the star.
Make no mistake, the Nazi Party,
which back then was called just fucking, you know,
Democratic Socialists.
Working Party, yeah.
Working Class Socialists.
What was it called again, Zach?
I'm just blanking.
Well, Nazis is an acronym for National Socialist Democrat Working Party.
Yeah, I'm just blanking.
But it was really his personality.
Make no mistake.
History a lot of times is just pushed forward by individually charismatic or brilliant people or capable people.
He happened to be charismatic and evil.
Yeah.
But it was his personality that pushed this to the forefront.
And a lot of people, you know, that can't imagine,
I kept being fascinated by, like, how people could do that
and, like, how it could happen.
And, like, you've got to understand,
Germany in this time, in the early 1930s,
they had just been decimated in World War I.
They got their whole country ruined and ripped apart.
They had to pay major war reparations, major. And we had the Great Depression here in 30...
What was the Great Depression? 1928?
29.
29. We had the Great Depression here in America. And everybody knows the stories. I mean, guys
had to... Fathers had to knock at their teeth to sell their teeth and all this. But it was
20 times worse in Germany. I think they were saying at the height of it,
it was like a 75% unemployment rate in Germany.
So it just was the perfect, perfect, perfect time for a guy like Hitler to step up and say,
hey, Germany doesn't love you, but I do.
Here's what we need to do.
We need to just get our sense of national pride.
The Jews and the non-Germans
are the one and the Roma's, which are like Romanes, which are like, I guess we call them
gypsies in America. These are the people who caused it all, which of course was not true.
But being a propaganda guy, he just needed someone to blame. And he got nearly the entire
nation of Germany to hate these groups of people that had nothing to do with the
situation, nothing to do with the reason why Germany was in the situation it was.
It's interesting because you can clearly see, I mean, that's the reason why we study history
is because hindsight's 20-20, as the old expression goes.
And you can clearly see how this unfolded.
And you can clearly see that it was a confluence of factors that came together.
One big stew of situations, of context, that created World War II, created the Holocaust, created the Nazi party into what it was.
And like Chris said, one was the desperation of the German people.
I mean, they were printing money like inflation.
It was like their money was useless.
It was like you could leave a barrel of money.
It's an old German story, adage, joke, whatever you want to call it,
from that time period where you could leave a barrel of money outside, right?
Because they were printing so much money and it was so worthless at that point.
They just kept printing more and more money and inflation was so and so high that you could leave a barrel of money outside
and people would dump the money out and steal the barrel.
Yep.
At one point, at the worst it was, the tour guide told us, one U.S. dollar equals one trillion German euros.
One trillion euros.
It wasn't euros, but it was...
Or francs, German francs.
German whatever they're called.
What are they called again?
They're called...
They're German...
They're called...
They're called...
Yeah, you know what?
Giannis had a good point, too, when we were out there.
When we won World War II, what is it?
The Marks.
The Marks.
That's right, German Marks.
When we won World War II and made all the changes.
You mean when the boys won World War II.
When the boys won World War II and we divided up Berlin and we, you know, put the Marshall Plan in effect for Japan, which, you know, brought baseball and all that shit.
We should have outlawed the German language.
Yeah.
That was Giannis' point.
It's just a gross language and it just makes you mad.
Yeah.
And it kind of fires you up.
It's got to go.
It's got to go.
Yeah, so this is a perfect confluence of circumstances, like I said.
The desperation, the, you know, after World War II, the place is decimated.
Their national pride is down.
The rest of the world is kicking them.
Treaty of Versailles, their fucking other countries are kicking them around,
making them pay, being too harsh with them. Treaty of Versailles, their fucking other countries are kicking them around, making them pay,
being too harsh with them, taking land.
You know, Poland took some land. They all took some land where there was
German people still living there, and they just took that land
back. And so Germans
feeling beat down,
and the stage
is set perfectly. Also,
you have industrialization.
You know, it's reaching a peak now.
I mean, you could really, really make heavy artillery.
I mean, sophisticated planes, bombs, all this stuff.
And Germans, it seems like they have a natural inclination for militarization, the Prussians,
and also an aptitude for engineering.
So these guys wanted to get to work building bombs.
So this is coming.
And then you also have the science
around this time.
People started to play with genes. The genome
was discovered and they started to manipulate
genes. So the Nazis
started to pervert this science. Like, hey,
if you can manipulate a watermelon to make it bigger,
why not manipulate
people? You're manipulating animals, plants,
crops. Why not people?
Yeah, Hitler's whole thing was
to eliminate. He
felt like if you have people
who he considered inferior, you know, the
Jews, the Romanians,
any non-German, Catholics
even, gays, that you would
pollute the gene pool
and he wanted a superhuman. And the superhuman
had blonde hair and blue eyes, which
is interesting because Hitler was just fucking short and had black hair and brown eyes.
He was not a good-looking kid, and he definitely had fumes.
He looked like a Croatian father.
Yeah.
That's what he looked like.
Yeah.
So that's the stage that was set, and, of course, also you got Nietzsche,
Nietzsche was a big German philosopher right before that time,
and he had the concept, of course, of the Uberman, the Superman.
So all that shit Hitler took and it made it.
You can clearly see all these factors come together in this one big shit stew sandwich. But most importantly, the kid was charismatic.
Yeah.
Even, I mean, you have to be an animal to agree with anything he says because it's fucking insane and sadistic and evil.
Just pure evil.
But when you watch his speeches, the kid spoke with emotion.
The kid went 110% every time he hit that stage.
He was crazy.
The kid stepped up to the mic.
I mean, that's really what it was.
And he wasn't just a good speaker. I mean, that's really what it was. And he wasn't just a good
speaker. I mean, he was
the guy making decisions.
He was running the Reich.
He ran the Reich. And, you know,
the war ended in 1945 when
the Russians surrounded Berlin and then
Hitler killed himself. But
really, about two years before
that, his own generals were
like, we're going to lose.
We're going to lose this war.
But he said, no, we're going to fight to the end.
He started arming women and children at the very end.
And it was just complete, complete.
I mean, the definition of an egomaniac is Adolf Hitler.
You can't be more egotistical than him.
And here's some things.
You look back in history. You know, a lot of historians have joked around calling him the Forrest Gump of history
because there's just a few moments where he got so lucky.
So lucky.
I mean, it could have went the other way so easily.
When we saw the place that we saw where he had spoke every one day a week,
let's say it was Wednesday, every Wednesday for like a year he spoke for up to three hours.
Let's just take a second and emphasize that.
The guy would hold people's attention for three hours.
We perform in front of crowds for a living.
45, 50 minutes.
Even if you're crushing doing comedy,
people are kind of, they're starting to get to the end.
They're like, all right, an hour,
maybe an hour and a half tops.
This kid would talk politics and crush for three hours.
That's how good he was of a speaker.
So like Chris said, he would do these for three hours.
Three hours, and then one day a guy, I'm forgetting his name, which is great, forgetting his name.
Hold on.
We can pull that up.
Can you look up the guy who tried to assassinate Adolf Hitler in Munich?
In Munich he tried.
This was before the Nazi party was as big as it would become.
This was in the late 30s, I believe.
And he had the timer on the bomb go off 48...
No, no, no.
Hitler left after 48 minutes that day. Which is so rare. I mean, it would never, he wanted to. No, no, no, Hitler left. Hitler left after 48 minutes that day, and then the bomb went off.
Which is so rare.
I mean, it would never happen.
Never happened, and the bomb went off about 10 minutes later.
Yeah, and what was the reason he left again?
Was it the weather or something?
He had to travel.
Yeah, he had to take the train home.
Yeah.
Because he used to take the train to fucking just rallies.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, Munich.
What was his name?
There were two people who tried to assassinate him in Munich.
One was Maurice Bovod, and the other one was Johan George Elser.
Johan George is who it was.
Neither one of those sound correct.
I think it was Joey because I knew it was going to be with a J.
Can you say bomb?
A time bomb that Elser constructed and placed near the speaking platform.
His name's Elser.
His name is, that's his name.
Johann George Elser.
Yeah, Elser.
That's his name.
Hitler who left earlier than expected but killed eight people and injured over 62 others.
Yeah, and then they caught the fucking guy too.
And they caught the guy, bad luck, the way they caught him.
And then guess what?
And then they kept him alive.
He almost got away from it.
But they kept him alive for a while.
Yeah, it probably tortured his ass.
Five years.
Five years.
And then he was in the concentration camps.
They put him in a camp.
In Dachau, right?
I believe it was Dachau.
Yeah, Dachau.
But they kept him alive because I guess there was a specific reason why Hitler wanted him alive.
But then when Hitler felt the walls closing in and he ordered him to be –
like Hitler had a thousand things on his mind.
Like Hitler had countries surrounding him, but he still made the order to kill that
guy.
Yeah.
He never forgot he had to kill him.
Yeah.
So that was wild.
We actually, listen, going to Munich, and we were actually there while they were having
their election, so it was a little weird, because we were in, what's it called, the
Marzenplatz?
What was that place?
Marienplatz.
The Marienplatz, and that's where the Beer Hall push happened, right?
Right there, yeah.
So when you go to Munich, you're basically going to ground zero of where the Nazi party formed, started.
It was Hitler's town where he was making his bones, struggling as an artist.
And then he started talking in these beer halls, joined the Nazi party, rose up through the Nazi party just because of his ability to speak.
And so you're there.
You're walking in the streets that he walked.
Now, I think it's like 40...
How much percent of Munich was bombed to shit?
It was like...
I think it was like in the high 40s.
High 40s.
Munich was bombed.
I mean, a lot of Germany got fucking drilled.
Yeah, because basically, as we know, the USA was not getting involved in Europe's war.
We just wouldn't do it.
The war started in 38, I'm sorry, 39.
We didn't show up until 41 because we just said, look, we're not going to go.
The US people said we're not going to go.
And then we started to find out about what was happening to the Jews.
And then we said, look, look, Adolf, all you got to do is not push Jews in ovens
and your towns will be sick.
You can do whatever you want.
You can fight.
But just don't push people in ovens.
And they couldn't do it.
And then when you, listen, what happened,
here's how it works.
This is how the red, white, and blue deals with you.
This is how the United States works in wartime.
We give you a command and we say, you have one chance to obey it.
When you come back and say you're not obeying that command,
we pick up the phone, and we make one call, and it's to the boys.
The boys.
We call the boys, and then the entire U.S. Army comes down,
parachuting onto your fucking country,
and we destroy everything you ever fucking knew,
and it fucking hurts bad.
And then when you fucking come out on the other end,
when you come out on the other end,
you just know who did this to you, and it's the boys.
Look, I know you're watching us over there right now.
You're watching all these people who are banging on the door of the Supreme Court.
They got short haircuts, little purple hair strands and glasses.
And they're screaming and crying to the sky.
Yeah, that's here.
But guess what?
That's here during peacetime.
Right now we're in peacetime.
We're Americans.
It's a free country.
So everyone's arguing politics.
But make no mistake.
Yeah.
Make no mistake.
Yeah.
One of you motherfuckers steps out of line and starts pushing people into ovens or doing something crazy,
the boys are going to show up on your doorstep and clean the place out.
Yeah.
It's if you are European nation.
And I don't mean the boys who you're seeing on TV.
I'm talking about the boys.
Yeah. And here's how wars usually...
Here's what happened in the First World War and the Second World War.
Countries start to push Poland around.
You just start to snuff around Poland.
You just start to throw around Poland.
Poland's just sitting there with its kowomkis going like,
no, you know, da, da.
They just don't know.
Yeah, because Lukasz just wants to make fucking potato croquettes.
That's all he wants to do.
And yeah, and see the dude, my great friend Lukasz, love him to death.
His face, if you want to look.
His face looks like a pierogi came to life.
If you want to see what.
You want to pour applesauce on his face.
If you want to see what people from 1945 look like, go to at Lukasz Saigon on Instagram.
And you'll just see.
Yeah. Greatest guy. He's a doctor.
And he's my kid's godfather.
And he's a handsome kid. He's a cute kid, but
make no mistake, he looks
like history. He's got
a historical look. Because, I mean,
his genes have been in Poland
and stayed in Poland. He is a Polish kid.
Yeah, but let me tell you something.
He's got a fucking gorgeous wife.
And before he had his wife,
he banged on a lot of hot girls.
And does he have a nice piece?
He's got a nice big dick
that was freshly circumcised.
Oh, he got it circumcised late?
I don't know.
But you used to see him in the locker room
because he played ball with you.
Yeah, he has a big dick.
What was his piece like?
He had a nice fucking Polish piece.
Good piece?
He had a nice fucking Polish piece.
Yeah.
Way song she ain Yeah. So,
the thing is, you start pushing Poland around,
that's when you know, and a little, there's just
been a little concern from
some countries as of late pushing Poland around,
one of them being Germany, and the thing
I want to remind you of is if you
want to push someone around,
then why don't you try on
the boys? Why don't you see if you can come push someone around, then why don't you try on the boys? The boys.
Why don't you see if you can come push the boys around?
Because I got news for you.
You can't push around the boys because guess what?
The boys, we all do keto.
We all do CrossFit.
Yeah, it's not the people you see on the TV at the protests that are coming.
No, no, no.
Our boys are still here.
No, I got a news.
Our boys are still here.
Here's the thing, and I know, you know, unfortunately, it may hurt some feelings. I got a news for you. are still here. Here's the thing, and I know unfortunately, it may hurt
some feelings. I got a news for you.
A lot of the boys are pro-Kavanaugh.
It's just what it is.
A lot of the boys, they're going to protect you
and they fucking, it's what it is.
Yeah. And listen
to me. That's who you want
protecting you. Yeah, you want to
because here's the thing. You don't want Hari
Kondabolu picking up a fucking gun to go want to because here's the thing. You don't want Hari Kondabolu picking up a fucking
gun to go defend you.
Guys like Giannis and I,
well, maybe mostly Giannis, we're the generals.
You know, we tell people what to do because the
front line of the boys, we're keto,
we do CrossFit, you know,
we're fucking jacked out kids, we're
juiced up, we're on steroids, you know,
we vote Republican.
I was going to say, we lean a little right.
Yeah, we're from Long Island and the rest of the country.
Yeah, we love Trump.
We're not from three places.
We're not from Portland.
We're not from San Francisco.
And we're not from New York City.
That's it.
We are from every single other place on this goddamn planet.
It's just what it is.
Yeah.
So...
And we're heavy...
What? Beef-fed... Yeah. So. And we're heavy. What?
Beef fed.
Yeah.
Boys.
Boys.
Yeah.
And everyone's packed.
Everyone's strapped out and ready to go.
Underestimate us, Russia.
Just underestimate.
China, just keep looking at us funny.
The boys are just taking a nap, cuz.
Cuz, yeah.
You don't want to wake up the boys.
Japan woke up the boys with Pearl Harbor, and then what happened?
They got fucked up.
Because you don't want to wake up the boys.
So that's what you shouldn't do.
Our tour guide was great.
Remember, he was like, listen, when you bomb, you have to expect to get bombed back.
Yes.
Because that's what the boys did.
We bombed you back.
Yeah, Munich got fucking destroyed.
Dresden, oh my God.
Dresden got firebombed.
More people died in Dresden, more civilians died in Dresden than Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
That can't be true.
It is true.
You can look it up, Zach.
When you said that the other day-
We firebombed Dresden.
Yeah.
And we only did that really for it was power show to the Russians.
We did that.
That had no political or strategic- Well, a lot of that stuff we just did that really for it was power show to the Russians. We did that. There are no political or strategic.
Well, a lot of that stuff.
We just knew that.
Because we knew the fight with Russia was it was coming.
Right.
Well, it was interesting because we were all on the same side.
But within that war effort on the same side, we were competing.
You know, the Russians, Stalin wanted to get to Berlin first.
The Americans wanted to get there first.
We wanted to bomb them harder.
They wanted to bomb us.
Stalin got there first, unfortunately. Kind of did. That's what it is. No Americans wanted to get there first. We wanted to bomb them harder. They wanted to bomb us harder. Stalin got there first, unfortunately.
Kind of did.
That's what it is.
No, he did.
He did.
We knew,
we knew,
we both,
both sides knew
that what was coming next
because we're opposing
economic philosophies,
opposing systems.
We knew that the next,
that we were on the same side
for this,
you know,
we're going to get together
to take care of this
little fucking man
with the mustache and then it's going to be together to take care of this little fucking man with the mustache.
Yeah.
And then it's going to be all out war, a cold war between us.
Now, the thing is, we.
Was I right about that?
So 80,000 people died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
That's the numbers I'm getting.
And there's no accurate numbers on Dresden, but it's believed to be between 35,000 and 135,000.
Wow.
Just killed everybody there. Yeah, they just fucking
firebombed it, dude. They blasted it.
And the problem is, there was really no
military targets there. They didn't even know it was
coming, probably. No, no military targets there.
Nothing at all. They just kind of bombed people.
They just wanted to show Russia, yeah.
The thing about Germany... It's fucked up.
There's a lot... Look, Nazis were evil.
But like.
War is evil.
War is evil.
But the Nazis were evil.
And you understand that a lot of people just got swept up in it.
You couldn't really.
It got so big.
Everyone's scared.
Everyone has to join the effort.
And then when it was over.
There was a.
The thing that nobody really talks about.
The way like nobody talks about how doctors want boats.
And that's why the health healthcare system's fucked up.
Right.
Well, that of World War II is the atrocities committed against the Germans towards the end and after the war.
Yeah.
The Germans got fucking brutalized.
Yeah.
The Germans and all those, the German populations, the German-speaking people who lived in parts of Czechoslovakia, Poland, you know, because that's how it is.
They got cleansed.
Yeah.
They got ethnically cleansed.
A lot of them fled.
There was tons of refugees from all over Europe who were German-speaking who had to rush back to Germany.
But remember, they're rushing back to a country that is occupied by angry Russians mostly.
Because the U.S. kind of left.
Yeah, but we did some shit too. But you gotta think, the Russians were
pissed because the Russians lost
20 million people
in this fucking war because of the Germans.
So they raped a few
women named
Yana. It's just what happened.
It's what happened. And it's bad.
You couldn't get...
There was a lot of rape that happened of German people.
A lot of innocent German people.
A lot of innocent.
Because the thing is, and I say innocent, and I'm careful to say that word, but I'm backing it up with the fact that, you know, what we learned is that you didn't have a choice in Germany.
Okay?
So what I mean by that is here you have a choice.
You can like Trump, not like Trump, like Hillary, not like Hillary, whatever you want. In Germany during that time, either, bless you,
either you were a Nazi supporter and hailed,
or you and your family were killed and or thrown in a concentration camp.
You had one of two options.
Either join the Nazis and salute to us, or be killed on the spot,
or go to a concentration camp and have your family murdered
and raped and killed and whatever.
So that's what it is. So a lot of these people were innocent,
like you said, just being swept up, where
they just were born and raised in Germany, but they
were anti-Hitler. They did not
like him or like what any of these Nazis
stood for, but they were fucking killed later
and it's just what, I mean, it just happens.
We went to Dachau, too. I mean, like I said,
we did so much touring.
And you hated the tour because he was Chinese.
Well, you know, the weather was a little chilly.
Yeah.
Because I go the other way.
I like it warm.
Yeah.
And so when the temperature drops below 62, the Chinese are not safe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Giannis did not like the Chinese.
The Chinese tour guide spoke English with a Chinese accent
And then Giannis said
In the middle of the tour
When is this guy
Going to start speaking English
I did not say that
Oh did I say that
Yeah
Yeah
No
No what happened was
Is it wasn't
His English was actually pretty good
No it was great
He was actually a good tour guide
He just
No he was not that great a tour guide
The tour guide for the Hitler walking tour In the Third Reich was a great tour guide.
The one who said you could call him Mein Fuhrer?
Yeah, yeah.
Because actually, Mein Fuhrer, the originally, just like propaganda,
originally Mein Fuhrer just kind of meant like my leader, right?
But now it's, of course, turned into something different.
Just like the name Adolf, nobody names their kids Adolf anymore.
You can't do it anymore.
Yeah.
There's no Hitlers anymore.
Everyone's changed their name.
Although, from what we understand, Adolf and the last name Hitler was just a common name back then that now you just can't name.
It was just like John or something.
And propaganda just meant like, hey, you're the speaker.
You're the guy who deals with the public.
Now, obviously because of the Nazis, it's turned into, you know, you're fucking propaganda.
You're lying.
It's public relations that's false.
That's a lie.
That's manipulated.
And in that same way, you know, what were we just talking about originally?
We were on Dachau.
Dachau.
Yeah, so we went to Dachau.
Oh, we were talking about the tour guide.
He was just a little all over the place.
Right.
Right?
And yeah, Mein Fuhrer just means my leader.
Wei Songxian. Right Right And yeah Mind Fuhrer just means my leader So The guy was just a little
All over the place
His tour wasn't that tight
You know we went on so many tours
I started to like
Really rate the tour guides
Yeah
I put the tours together
By the way
Cause
Do I get a fucking
Like a good job or something
You're just so good at it
Yeah
You're so good at planning How we're going to see the fucking city.
See, here's the thing, and Giannis, you mentioned this too, when we were sitting in Meinplatz
on the last day, you know, we had a flight to catch in about an hour and a half.
But do you think the German government was alerted to us being there?
Because they were like, why are these two guys bopping around, going to every single
tour this city has to offer?
Who are these fucking kids?
We just kept going on tours.
But like, you know, me having my German roots and Giannis being a Greek kid.
You know, Giannis just wants to like look at sculptures.
And, you know, he's just looking around, taking his time.
He's always late for things.
And I'm just more anal with it because it's the German.
and I'm just more anal with it because it's the German.
So, like, I kind of, after being four or five days and being almost late for everything,
the last day I kind of, and Giannis mentioned this,
I kind of was like, you know what?
Maybe I just want to fucking,
maybe I just want to see what happens
when I turn the temperature up a little bit.
Maybe I just want to fry them.
That's what happened.
Let me just see if I can just put some panko and breadcrumb on them.
Let me just throw them in the Yeah. Let me just see if I could just put some panko and breadcrumb on him. Let me just throw him in the oven.
Yeah.
Let me just see.
We figured it out.
We figured out what's behind the German personality of the 1930s and 40s that led to Nazism,
fascism by our relations.
Because, yeah, I was a little late.
Chris is really organized with the tour.
Yeah.
We would go to sleep.
We were sleeping.
Basically, we were sleeping in a hostel with these firemen. We slept. We literally had. I'm a grown man with the tour. Yeah. It's like, we would go to sleep. We were sleeping. Basically, we were sleeping in a hostel with these firemen.
We slept.
We literally had, I'm a grown man with a family.
Giannis is 43 years old, about to get married.
And we've slept in twin beds.
Two twin beds.
We did.
So Chris is always like.
And Giannis didn't have a phone charger the whole trip.
I know.
Well, I got fucked.
You did get fucked.
She gave me the one for England.
Fuck, bitch.
Anyway, so Chris is just always the one like, okay, so we're going to sleep at 1300 hours
to be up at 7.15 a.m.
because we have to go to the tour
for the Hitler's youth.
When he was a young child in Munich with guards to wake up.
Then he wakes up, he fucking sounds an alarm,
and we're going, and I'm a Greek kid.
We go, hey, listen, baby, come on.
Having a cup of coffee and drink is hanging out.
We're just taking our time here, baby.
We're relaxed.
We're relaxed philosophical people.
And he's going, we have to make the talk.
Come on, I should source it.
And so the battle between this went on for days until about the fourth day.
Chris just kind of was running out of patience.
And that's when he slowly is just, that's how Nazis are.
They just kind of, like, their efficiency gets challenged.
And you just, by the fourth day, you're just going, yes!
And it just comes out.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
Yeah, because Giannis kept, yeah, for some reason, Giannis just kept looking the wrong way.
Even though the cars come the same way as the U.S. I don't even think you noticed it. You just kept thinking we were in England. just kept looking the wrong way, even though the cars come the same way as the U.S.
I don't even think you noticed it.
You just kept thinking we were in England.
You were looking the wrong way.
And we were crossing the street once, walking back to the hotel, and I said, let him just look the other way, and I wouldn't tell him a car's coming.
You were going to push me, weren't you?
Yeah, I was just going to give a little push and then say, I don't know.
That's not what happens.
He then walked into the Stiefenstreifen Street.
When I was in college, it was just for, you know,
Indiana Jones.
The Nazis in Indiana Jones are always funny
because they always smoke
between these two hands,
the ring finger
and the middle finger.
For some reason,
when Germans smoke,
they smoke like it's a camel,
like a camel's hoof.
Yeah.
And our tour guide
was smoking between
those two fingers
for some reason.
Yeah.
That was the best tour guide
I've ever seen.
It was.
He's a gay guy,
for sure.
I always used to
just reenact like a Nazi getting getting somebody on the train, being like,
Oh, hello, Dr. Jones.
Says, hey, you're going to Switzerland.
Let me see your papers.
Hmm, Switzerland.
I don't think so.
Hands up.
Because Germans are fucking funny.
We're funny fucking kids.
I mean, we don't have a sense of humor or comedy.
You're all at gay.
It's like a gayness to Germans.
Don't you think?
Hello, my name is Hossenfossen.
Would you like strudel?
It's like a gay.
Yes, come to my place.
The restaurant's here.
My place.
Well, our characters, Max and Stubens,
are characters that we put on Instagram
that Jan has developed in Austria and Germany.
Obsessed with black guys.
They're gay characters.
Gay characters who are obsessed with black guys.
American black guys. Those are the best kind.
I like the black guys.
Stubens, he loves the blacks.
He loves...
But Joe, we were in Munich
and there's this place.
We will put up the pictures.
Is it called the Marienplatz?
Marienplatz.
So I took a picture.
First of all, it's intact.
And it's gorgeous.
It is gorgeous.
Gorgeous.
It's gorgeous.
And by the way, we decided that we're going to do a full Patreon episode in total flamboyant gay voice.
So if you want to hear the episode where we just talk like this for the whole time,
go to patreon.com slash
Bay Ridge Boys. Yes, we haven't put it up yet,
but in addition to our walk and talks,
another segment we're going to do
is we always do our
bonus episode. There's always
a bonus podcast every week.
If you join patreon.com
slash Bay Ridge Boys and become a member of our
matriarchy, you will get an extra episode every week.
Okay?
But also, we do walk-in talks now.
Yeah.
Where me and Chris just walk.
And then the third thing we're going to do is fucking full little segments in gay boys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's going to be fun.
Yeah.
So, what were you saying, Marian Plotz? I was saying, Marian Plotz, we took some pictures where there's pictures that exist during the beer hall putsch ceremonies that the Nazis would have.
Because make no mistake, what happened was Hitler gave a speech.
It's called the beer hall putsch.
It was like the martyrdom event for the Nazi party where the 16 Nazis got killed by Bavarian
government soldiers.
And so once the Nazis came to power,
they would do a ceremony
where they reenacted the walk
from the beer hall to the government
building to try to take over
the government where they had this clash.
And it all happened right...
Is that called the Marienplatz? You know what I'm talking about?
That's not Marienplatz. That's not Marienplatz.
Where we went back in the morning?
That's not Marienplatz.
What is that?
I forgot what that's called.
I forget what it's called, too.
But it's got two lions with the actual sculpted balls in the back.
Whoever's the history buff or whatever, just fucking post what it is,
and we'll correct it next time.
Whatever it's called...
Wherever the Beer Hall Push was.
Wherever that happened, and then where the ceremonies and the reefs would go up on that statue with the two – it has two lions.
And Hitler would speak there.
And so you can go there now.
And there's actually a famous picture in front of that where Hitler was listening to Nazi speeches when he was young before he joined the party.
And you can see he's like a 20-something-year-old kid, and he's in the crowd.
And it's a famous picture you can Google where you see a young Hitler with his little stash.
I don't even think he's cut it all the way to the middle yet.
It still looks like a little longer.
He hasn't become Hitler yet, but you can see he's blown up.
They blow him up, and it's clearly Hitler in the audience of that speech.
You can go, and we went to the spot where he was standing, like right there,
and where these ceremonies would happen, where the Nazis would give their speeches.
And then you look at the old footage and you look at it in person.
It's a little spooky and eerie because it looks the same.
All the buildings are the same.
And you realize, holy shit, this happened right here.
Right here.
Right here.
And then one of the pictures that we took of me, I'm standing almost exactly where he was standing.
I was exactly where he was standing, which is fucking wild.
You can stand where he was standing and just feel all that evil.
I felt the same way in Charleston.
It's been a wild two weeks for me because back-to-back weekends, I went to Charleston, South Carolina, where, make no mistake, the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumner.
You know?
And that's where that started.
And that was evil and about evil in the slavery in America.
And then, I guess through coincidence, or maybe simulators are having fun.
Maybe the simulators are really fans of this podcast.
Yeah.
And they just set it up.
Because then the next weekend, I'm in Munich.
Yeah.
Where the Nazis started.
Yeah.
because then the next weekend, I'm in Munich.
Yeah.
Where the Nazis started.
Yeah.
So it's like the two most horrific, organized, you know, evil things by kind of Western powers.
Yeah.
With industry behind them.
Yeah. I was at the, I went to the two cities where they both began in the same week.
You keep going where the enemy is.
Where am I going to go next?
Boston Red Sox.
Yeah.
That's the enemy.
Yeah.
Next week, I'm going to fucking, yeah week I'm going to Yeah I'm going to
Big Papi's house
Yeah
Where that started
Because the trip to Germany
I mean
It was enlightening
And we didn't even
Fucking talk about Salzburg yet
And we didn't even talk about
The fact that we were in Bavaria
And we
Before we went there
We didn't even know
What the fucking difference was
Yeah the difference between
Bavaria
Germany
And Austria
It's just
It doesn't make sense.
They're all like German states, right?
So all the people are like ethnically German, descendants of the Celts, you know, Germanic tribes who settled there.
But they fucking hate each other.
They actually had a war with each other.
But Bavaria is not separate.
Bavaria is just a part of Germany.
Yeah, but it used to, I mean, they used to fight. They still say Bavaria is not separate. Bavaria is just a part of Germany now. Yeah, but it used to. I mean, they used to fight.
They still say Bavarian.
Yeah, well, they kind of, the Prussians, who are a little up north and are known to be,
when you think about the German stereotypes, the Prussians are like the militaristic Germans.
Like the Nazis, that's what you think of.
Or the Wilhelms, you know, with the Wilhelm with the spiked helmet and the fucking,
I'm a German, let's go.
And then the Bavarians, your stereotype would be the Lederhosen and a big mug of beer.
Bavarian, we were told Bavarian and Munich and Oktoberfest and the whole state of Bavaria,
which is just now part of Germany, is like Texas.
Yeah, it's like the Texas of Germany.
It's like the south, like, woo-wee, cowboy shit.
Yeah, they look at them like that, a lot more laid back, the Lederhosen.
Like the Prussians up north, and the Prussians are a little more up north, I guess.
They don't really fucking, or is it east?
I don't know where they are.
But the Prussians look at the lederhosen as like silly.
Right.
And then you got your Austrians, which is another country, but they're German too.
But they hate to be confused with German, which is hilarious.
But they speak the same language and look the same.
Yeah, when you're American, you go and you're like, you guys are all fucking snow monkeys.
And we also, we just randomly took a day trip.
We just decided last minute to take a day trip to Salzburg, Austria.
Wow.
On the train, which is where Mozart, the great composer Mozart, was born and raised.
And cuzzies, cuzzies and cuzzettes, if you ever get a chance, I know a lot of you guys have probably been there already.
But if you ever get a chance, go to Salzburg.
I mean, Giannis is going to fucking detour his honeymoon through Salzburg.
I tried, but my fiancée was like, no, we're going to Italy and Greece.
She wants no part of it.
What about mine and your fiancée?
Yeah.
Well, she doesn't know that you're just coming with us on the honeymoon.
Yeah, she's going to open up her suitcase and say, hi, Brittany!
But look, Salzburg, it's got to be one of the most underrated, beautiful tourist destinations.
It was so underrated and so beautiful.
It's like the fucking Bay Ridge of the world.
Yeah.
Because Bay Ridge is underrated and beautiful.
is underrated and beautiful.
Well, I mean,
so they have the oldest medieval and biggest and well-kept medieval castle
in Europe, in Salzburg.
Salzburg Fortress.
It's on the biggest hill in Salzburg
and it overlooks the whole city
and it also faces the Alps
and they have like restaurants there
where you can just sit up on this mountain
and stare at the Alps.
It was cute.
It was seriously fucking gorgeous.
Yeah.
That was literally like it's a time I think I'll always remember in my life.
Yeah, and I had to smoke a cigarette.
You smoked a few.
Way song she ain't.
And it's just what it is.
I mean, it was just so beautiful.
I mean, we were sitting up there, and it happened to be a great day.
And we checked out all of Salzburg.
We walked around Salzburg.
We were there mostly for the beauty.
It was just there was nothing really.
We didn't even really pay attention too much to the history in Salzburg.
Well, we did.
No, we looked at all those buildings that were built in 1280, 1320, and then restored in 1984.
I'm just saying we didn't learn that much about the specifics.
We were caught up in the goddamn beauty because we sat in that restaurant for four hours and
drank brews.
Drank brews.
Well, we learned a little bit about the kings.
Yeah, I guess we didn't learn that much.
I guess there was a bishop that... Back then, the bishops and the aristocracy used to live
in those castles, and they would just shit on everyone below them.
That's basically what it is.
They would shit on my family.
I mean, let's think.
I mean, the crazy thing about going to Germany with you
was we went right after you confirmed
that you're mostly German.
That I'm mostly German.
So make it.
But not upper echelon, high class German.
I mean, of course.
You'd be at a party with donkey heads if that was the case.
I'm frontline German.
You are shit shoveler peasant German.
Yeah.
You're down.
Your line, your family line is down there at the bottom of that hill.
By the hill shoveling shit.
You're lifting rocks.
You're moving boulders.
Because you think if I was alive in the 40s and of age, you'd think the Nazis would have made fun of my butt a little bit.
For sure.
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
We're all animals, so we all adapt to our environment.
That's why you hate the heat and stuff because you're from Germany. Yeah. So the heat makes Chinese people unsafe. Yeah. Here's the thing. We're all animals, so we all adapt to our environment. That's why you hate the heat and stuff because you're from Germany.
So the heat makes Chinese people unsafe.
Yeah.
But also when you look at the size of your butt, it means for generations, your people were lifting something for bishops.
Yeah.
Because to have that butt.
And I have no biceps either.
No biceps.
So it wasn't this.
You were carrying things on your back, so that's why you have a strong butt.
And pushing up. That's why you have good trice.
You have good trice because you're pushing something up hills.
Yeah.
You could have been carrying, like, you could have been, like, a plumber.
Your line could have been famous plumbers who were carrying up parts for the shit, for the toilets of the bishops.
What do you think my real last name is?
Heighten Stouffer? It's got to be something, yeah, like, what's that place in Ridgewood called? I love that one. For the toilets of the bishops. What do you think my real last name is? Heidenstufer?
It's got to be something.
Yeah, like what's that place in Ridgewood called?
I love that one.
Zumstamtisch.
Zumstamtisch.
Well, the maiden name is Kerner.
Kerner.
It could be Kerner.
It could just be a regular Kerner.
What does Kerner mean?
Can we look up in German what Kerner means?
Because sometimes the last names are based on what the trade that his trash monkey ancestors had.
Make no mistake.
K-O-E-R-N-E-R.
You get that?
One more time?
K-O-E-R-N-E-R.
Köhne.
Yeah.
What kind of, does that mean something in German?
Like blacksmith or like prostitute?
Yeah, does it mean?
Does it mean guy who carries boulder with big butt?
Because you inherited that big butt from one of your ancestors.
It's just what it is, right?
So, I'm telling you.
It's an occupational name for a grain merchant or possibly for the administrator of a greenery.
Wow.
The administrator of a greenery?
Grains?
Greenery, yeah.
What does that mean?
Middle High German Corner, nickname for a miller from a noun derivative of Middle High German.
Yeah, so it's an occupational name for a grain merchant or someone higher in that field.
So I was selling grains.
Because you were a grain merchant.
Merchant.
You know what that means?
Selling it.
No, you know what that means if you were a merchant?
What?
Jew.
Yeah.
You got Jew in you.
Well, I told you I had a little Jew in me.
You do, yeah.
Well, you said it because you're one of the brightest not bright kids I know.
Yeah.
So you said you thought you were Jew because the Jews believe in part of the Bible.
So that makes you part Jewish, which it doesn't.
Yeah.
And Catholicism started out as a kind of fringe sect of Judaism.
Yeah.
So that's where the Catholics came out of.
Yeah, you're not supposed to be outside.
They should give you an ankle bracelet that keeps you in Ridgewood
that goes off whenever you leave Ridgewood.
You're not supposed to be walking these streets,
because you're not supposed to cross that fucking water.
Yeah.
You're supposed to.
They should give you.
You know when people are at house arrest?
Yeah.
People from Ridgewood should have to wear that around their ankles
so the rest of the world knows when they try to leave.
Yeah, and Eileen can't leave Ridgewood.
No, you guys can't.
We can't have you people fucking walking the streets.
Is my mom and Eileen having a brew right now?
Because right now, since you got new furniture and you got your place, right now the corner store that sells brews,
Yeah.
his business is a little lower.
Yeah.
Because make no mistake, as soon as you make another bad decision.
Which will happen.
Yeah.
And I lean in later going to get a brew to smoke.
Yeah.
And maybe a sausage at Doomstomp Dish.
At Doomstomp Dish.
So, yo, make no mistake.
We were in the place where your DNA line comes from.
You didn't feel anything.
I didn't, yeah.
Because I was looking at the people, knowing you being your friend,
I was looking at the people, and it's wild that
you can see
it's kind of like you guys got the same face.
Yeah. It looked like a lot of yous,
just better versions. Just better versions, better
shape. I mean, I got no
interest from females or males.
And yeah, it was
interesting. The
beauty of Austria
it really like shook me
it like made me nervous
I wanted to leave
yeah
because it was so nice
so it was like
I'm not worthy of being
and the churches were beautiful
and you were cursed
in the churches
I did
you got very uncomfortable
you got very uncomfortable
with that
yeah you were cursed
you thought we were going to hell
but I tried to tell you
it's just a building
and I don't believe in this
yeah and you were making
fucking jokes about
you know like real bad stuff in the church.
Yeah, bad stuff that they did.
That they did.
So I don't want to hear it.
I know I saw when I posted that video on Instagram, we lost like maybe two or three followers.
I get it.
I knew it was going to happen because there was a couple of you are hardcore Catholics.
And that's fine.
I'm not judging you.
But make no mistake, you got some freaky ass priests in there.
In there.
You know what you're talking about, those freaky ass priests touching those kids.
That shit happened.
Act like that shit didn't happen.
That shit happened.
That shit happened.
So, make no mistake, you're from there.
I am from there.
I mean, it was a fucking trip of a lifetime, though.
I mean, it really was just dope to be in Germany.
But I will say that it makes you appreciate America a lot more.
Because after about the third day, I was just ready to get back to the United States where, like, you can just get.
Like, we looked.
We walked around for 20 minutes to get soap on a Tuesday afternoon.
Because I'm so glad we went on this trip for one reason.
Specifically. Many reasons.
But a big reason was
there's been a huge change in you.
Yeah. Now when we left
ISIS, Chris
was like, you know what?
I love Germany. I can't wait to get to
my homeland. Yeah.
He said, I'm going to come back with some different opinions.
Yeah. But you know what happened?
It went the opposite way.
And you learned that you are a red, white, and blue kid through and through.
I'm a fucking patriot, and I hate the Nazis.
Keep talking.
I got to put money in the thing because I'm going to get banged out.
And especially going to see Dachau at the end of the concentration camp to see the ovens and the gas chamber and the killing fields and what they fucking did to those people.
It's just gross.
At what point did the sweets come out?
The sweets came out immediately.
We had a layover in Iceland.
It was pretty crazy to see.
Yeah, we had a layover in Iceland and I had an Icelandic chocolate bar.
And then it just, the wheels came off for six days.
The funny thing is, is we say this and people probably think
it's like,
oh, that's cute,
that's funny,
they're probably exaggerating.
Let me be clear.
You have never seen
anything like this
in your life.
Okay?
We're talking about,
I don't know anyone
who does the things
that he does,
like comes back to the room
at two in the morning
with chocolate graham crackers.
I just had a bag of... You just had a bag of chocolate graham crackers.
When we eat, at one point he had a milkshake and a piece of cake.
Yeah.
I mean, he doubles up.
No, but I did ask for an iced coffee in Austria,
and she came back with a coffee milkshake.
But you did eat the whole fucking thing and drink the whole thing,
and then when we were walking, you said, I can't feel my foot.
I gotta chill
out, no? Yeah, I mean, it's you
and then the people
who follow us on Instagram, which if you don't, you should.
At History Hyenas.
Chrissy went and met all the firemen down at
Oktoberfest and then he just made a video
because you got a chocolate banana.
Who gets drunk and then goes and gets
a chocolate banana? Yeah. And what else? You got two sweets. I got a chocolate banana. Who gets drunk and then goes and gets a chocolate banana?
Yeah.
And what else?
You got two sweets.
I got a chocolate banana and an apple strudel.
Wait, hold on, hold on.
Let me see if I can find it.
Keep talking.
Hold on.
I'll find it and I'll play it right now.
Yeah, he got an apple strudel and a chocolate banana,
and then that night is the night he came back with chocolate-covered graham crackers.
Yeah.
So what I'm trying to say is it's not an exaggeration.
He has a bad addiction to sweets, and he has fallen off the wagon.
I mean, the wagon is in a ditch and needs to be reconstructed by a carpenter,
and Chrissy is caught in a mud slide, quicksand on the side of the road.
The wheels have fallen off.
Fallen off.
Yeah, I don't know where that video is.
It's fucking gone.
I didn't save it.
Yeah, but if you follow us on Instagram, you saw that he made that video.
Because we just had a few too many fucking brews.
We actually did.
I mean, the firemen.
I had a lot of brews.
Because how much did the fire guys drink?
The firemen drank to a point where, I'm being honest, I don't know how.
I thought for sure we went out with ten.
Ten guys out there. I thought for sure we went out with 10 guys out there. I thought for sure
we were going to lose two. I thought
two were going to either die or just
say, I can't get on this flight. But somehow
all of them got on and the
pain, the pain that
these kids were in the last day,
I wouldn't
I wouldn't
wish it on my
worst enemy.
I really wouldn't. Did you even know that one was coming or just licked out of your ass?
No, it just licked out of my ass.
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
I mean, those kids can drink.
It's like an elderly person who just loses control of his pals.
Cuz.
You just, cuz, you were just talking.
Just creeped out.
Cuz, I got a big ass.
It just creeped out.
I mean, you're not civilized.
It's what it is, right?
You're talking and you're farting as you're talking.
Cuz, I'm a fucking German piece of shit, right?
farting as you're talking.
Because I'm a fucking German piece of shit, right?
The thing is, when you're around girls,
first date, you do stuff like that, right?
Well, I mean, either I send three paragraph messages or I pick my nose and fart.
I mean, did you have no control over that fart?
Just popped out.
Were you able to hear it?
Yeah, I don't know if they were able to hear it,
but I mean, it sounded.
Yeah, it was too loud.
I mean, you were talking.
Your facial expression didn't even change.
Yo, we got to stop farting on this podcast.
It's immature.
I don't think you can help it, man.
It's cheap laughs.
You don't have control over your bowels.
It's just what it is.
Oh, God.
But the thing was, you realized you were an American kid.
American kid,
red, white,
and fucking blue, baby.
You couldn't, like, yeah,
you don't even, like,
you don't even joke around
about being German anymore.
No, because it's just like
when I saw the atrocities.
It's like Paddy Flyball says,
you can call me Irish,
but I'm fucking American.
American, that's what he said.
I'm American.
It's like, you can call me German,
I'm fucking from the United States.
And just even,
even just, you know,
we all knew about the atrocities of what the Nazis did.
But even just being in Germany, which I thought was a great country, and Austria was a great country.
But it's just the United States, we're number one and everybody wants to come here for a reason.
Yeah.
It's just a fucking big reason.
And we did really save the world from what could have been, fuck, who knows what could have been, man.
Because listen, we went to Dachau,
and to get serious for a second,
it's like, Dachau,
the gas chamber,
the crematorium,
the room where they
store the bodies
while they're putting them in the oven...
Hold on, pause, pause.
We need to fix it.
Yeah, I thought something came out, right?
Yeah, I think I popped out a fucking wire.
I'm like an idiot.
Oh, God.
That was a 10?
So funny.
That laugh was...
felt so good.
Because we got to watch the Yanks.anks what time we're an hour and seven minutes
into this pod do we have any patreon people yeah we do i i got them right here we can read them
because i didn't get them let's talk about doc out and then be done but we have to mention doc out Somebody said it would be amazing if you hosted a walk and jog through Ridgewood.
Yeah, let's do that.
Sean says, please don't forget to name me in the pod.
Who are you? Wow, look at this.
On the New York Post, first article, Yanis.
I have to stop the recording, so in post I'm going to put it together.
I'm just reading this.
Some of Hitler's last relatives are living secret lives on Long Island.
Wow.
Say that when we get back.
That's funny that their kids are growing up
with shape-ups and
listening to techno music.
I'll read this. Talk about Dachau.
Tell me when you're ready. Gotcha. One second.
Oh, can you pass me that flashlight behind you? Thank you for watching. I'm just going to fix that later. So what did we get?
What part?
It was like literally when you started talking, the camera pulled. Denise Gomez on Patreon
Your La Puss video was flagged
We're just gonna have to throw that La Puss
up on the Patreon. Yeah, it's what it is.
Alright, we're good to go.
And in post, I'm going to cut it together.
We're back everybody
We had some technical difficulties
That you don't even know about
Because we spliced it right back together
But we did go to Dachau
Which I want to end the episode
Talking about because it was
It was nothing really funny about it
There's nothing really to joke about
It's one of the
Most Moving nothing really to joke about. It's one of the most moving and terrifying and shocking things any human being could
ever lay eyes on.
I, in Dachau, for the most part, it's well preserved as it was.
Front gates are intact.
Where all of the bunks, what do they call those where they slept?
Bunkers or dormitory.
I don't know.
Dorms, yeah.
They don't call them dorms.
You know, whatever.
You know where they fucking packed them in.
We call them the tents.
Tents, whatever.
They slept.
All of them are marked, and there's memorials there now.
There's like one or two that are recreated, they rebuilt.
But what is 100% intact is the part, you know, all the guard towers are 100% intact.
But the gas chamber, the crematorium, the ovens, it's all 100% the same.
So meaning you're looking at, you're in a death chamber, man.
When you're in there, you're there at the same place that all these atrocities happened.
You know, now, Dachau was not one of the bigger ones where they didn't kill as many people.
But of course, they had a gas chamber and crematorium there.
They had the ovens.
They had the gas chambers there.
They killed a lot of people there.
Who knows?
Hundreds, thousands, not the millions like in Auschwitz where it was millions.
Auschwitz.
Auschwitz was millions.
But when you're in there, man, you see how they did it, and it's just so spooky because it's exactly
the same. You're looking exactly
at what... The buildings are... I mean, talking about
not replicas, the actual structures.
The actual structures. Nothing's changed. So people
have put... You know, those people who are walking
up, put their hands on the places you
put them, stood in the places that you
stood, and what they did was
it was a really devious, manipulative,
and just evil way that they did this. It's really devious, manipulative and just evil
way that they did this.
There's no humanity in it.
They're lining these people up like cattle.
So what they do is...
There's no humanity in it because what Jan's
about to tell you, it's freaky, but what they...
Because they looked at them,
the Germans looked at Jews
and homosexuals and
non-Germans as slaves,
or they would use their bones to fertilize cabbage fields.
So they were slaves and fertilizer to Nazis.
It's fucking crazy when you think about that.
They grounded up the bones and used it as fertilizer for the cabbage fields
that were right next door to the fucking...
It's gross.
I mean, it's crazy.
And then they made lampshades out of the skin.
I mean, it's kind of out of a serial killer's book.
How did this happen?
Their hair, they would shave their heads and keep their hair.
Keep their hair.
They were using their body parts like they were animals.
It was inhumane.
The fullest definition of inhumane to the fullest level 10 in humanity was the Germans and what they did in concentration.
Because, yeah, there's other, you know, throughout history, like, you know, people get killed, slaves get killed, they're treated.
But what they did was they didn't, they took all their, like Yana said, no dignity.
I mean, they were using their parts as like pieces of machines.
Like it was just, there weren't human beings to them.
They treated them like pigs or like cattle.
I mean, literally like cows, like going through a slaughterhouse.
So the way they would do it, because obviously they were aware, at least somewhat, that these are humans and humans get frantic.
And it's hard to control huge populations that are frantic.
So what they would do, brutal,
is they would lie to them and tell them, the ones that were coming up for the gas chamber, they would say, hey, you're going into a mass
shower. So they had these fake shower heads
which are still there, which is so wild. And we went, me and Chris
went into the gas chamber.
This is the same gas chamber.
Not a recreation.
We stood in the same place that these people stood.
And I was having these visions.
My imagination was just having these visions of what it must have been like,
the fear and just the claustrophobia.
Because, first of all, the ceiling is real low.
I mean, people were, I guess, a little shorter, but Germans are tall or whatever.
I mean, it's low.
I mean, if you're 6'4", your head is touching the ceiling.
That's how claustrophobic it is.
And they would pack these people in maybe, like, what, a thousand could fit in there?
Yeah.
Pack where you couldn't move?
Yeah.
They would pack these people in there.
They first make them take off their clothes in this one room.
So you go, and there's this one room where you take off your clothes.
And then they push them in, and they say that they're showers.
And these fake shower heads on the ceiling.
And you go in, and then they close these metal doors on both sides.
And it's just dark in there.
There's no light.
There's nothing.
The only light that was creeping in was the light from when those doors were open.
And you could see the fake shower heads on the ceiling.
And then they close those metal doors that sealed
and then they just pumped the gas
in. And Chris will tell you
about how brutal the death is. Just imagine
the screams. Just imagine
the horror. Just imagine
the lack of hope knowing
that there's no escape and that
this is what your final moments
are going to be like. So yeah, so I noticed the fake shower heads and then i said tour guide i heard him say
oh you know and most people think that's a fake drain but it's not the drain was real because
the way you would die the drain on the floor the drain on the floor was real because the way you
died from that gas um was all the fluid left your body so So you would bleed, piss, urinate, defecate, vomit.
You would know what was happening to you
and take the average person 15 to 20 minutes to die.
Can you believe that?
So it's not like carbon monoxide where the lice just go out,
you fall asleep, and you're dead.
No, no, you physically, you were in pain, and you died.
You were choking.
Everyone in your, you know, you're watching your family members die, your loved ones, your friends.
And people died at different speeds.
Different speeds.
People are dropping around you and you know your neck.
That's just, you know it's coming.
And if you, and then after you were dead, they would open up the doors, whatever it was, 20 minutes later, and put your bodies in the oven.
And a good amount of people were not dead yet.
They had no energy, but they were still were still alive and they were, then they were
burned alive and incinerated.
They would, whoever was miraculously still alive and just, but like Chris said, no energy,
just kind of like, but still breathing.
They would just throw those people in the ovens with the dead bodies.
Yeah.
So then they took the dead bodies and little by little, whatever could fit in the ovens with the dead bodies. Yeah. So then they took the dead bodies, and little by little, whatever could fit in the ovens,
they burned these people in these crematoriums in these ovens.
They burned the bodies after they'd been gassed.
And it was all set up like an assembly line.
When you go in the building, it's like the first room is for them to take their clothes off and wait.
Then there's the gas chamber right in the middle.
And then the room after that is a room where they pile up the bodies.
And then the room after that was the ovens. I think there was two big ovens there.
It is insane to see. It leaves
an indelible impression in your mind. It's freaky. It's spooky. It stays
with you. I really think everyone should see it.
What the Russians did and the Americans did was when they discovered and liberated these
camps, they forced German, they went and gathered all the German locals from those towns in Dachau, Auschwitz.
They made them, which is a very good thing that they did, which is wild.
They made all these people line up and go look at it.
They didn't touch the bodies or anything that were piled up there that the Germans had just abandoned.
Because make no mistake, they left a 10-foot, 10-fucking-foot-high pile of emaciated dead bodies that were yet to be burned.
In some of the videos and images you can see.
And they marched the town people through so they could see what their military was doing to people.
Yeah, because a lot of the German people, like where Dachau was, that's a town, or Auschwitz, these are towns.
A lot of the German people claimed, and I don't know, only they know, that they didn't know what was going on.
Because it was so atrocious that even the people back in the U.S. didn't believe it.
it was so atrocious that even the people back in the U.S. didn't believe it.
There were certain journalists that would write in the papers in the 40s about the horrors that they saw at concentration camps,
and they said, no, you're lying.
There's no way it's true.
So a lot of people didn't believe it, including Winston Churchill and FDR and Truman.
They just didn't believe it was happening
until they actually started liberating the camps,
and then that became a priority.
Yeah, they did a march,
and again, it's just a time where people were just stronger and braver.
We weren't as cold as we are today.
I mean, they would march these people from the train station,
which we took for the most part.
And then they would march.
We did the same exact, with the bus that we took to Dachau,
it was the same exact route that they would march all the prisoners,
the Jews, the Romani, the homosexuals,
a lot of political prisoners too. There was a lot of
prisoners at Dachau who were just from opposing
parties, actual German citizens.
And ethnic Germans,
because the Jews were German citizens too, for the most
part, especially in Dachau, but
actual ethnic Germans
and all of them, they would march
through the town and they would plant Nazis in the crowd to rile up the people.
And they forced the town people to heckle these people as they were coming through.
So they would throw things at them.
Yeah.
And if you didn't heckle hard enough, you sometimes were thrown into the line to go into the concentration camp.
So that's how fucking wild it was.
The psychological warfare and the manipulation and propaganda that the Nazis used,
that's how they really did all this.
Intimidation tactics, subterfuge, spies, things like we just mentioned,
they would do this.
They would get into the crowd and rile the people up.
And if you did not heckle these people, if you did not call them dirty Jews or whatever
it was, then they would put you
in the prison. So it was just
by force, by fear,
that they convinced these people
to do this.
So it's wild, man. It is
fucking wild. We got to see that.
And it changes you forever.
It's just, it's a brutal, everyone
should go see it if you can. It wakes just, it's a brutal, everyone should go see it if you can.
It wakes you up to how horrible things can get, you know?
You think you're civilized.
Yeah.
But we're really, it's a thin thread between safety, comfort, good times and that.
I want to end on the story of the British soldiers who tried to parachute in there, which is wild.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That was women, right?
Yeah.
