Make a clip of that it's what it is so yeah yeah make a clip of that and send it to him yeah make a clip and send it to him and as always trump gets my vote yeah you know what i'm saying it's what it is but what i'm saying is just like what you said with veneterio which was funny he's like yeah you know because you're thinking yeah that she's the type of girl you marry but at the same time she's she's works at your job where she hears about all the girls you crack on yeah and i'm like there's only so many times i think be like, it's a character piece.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Yeah, I mean, she knows it's not a character piece. Yeah, I'm like, I just can't. Like, I'm going to propose to her one day. She's going to say, no, I'm going to say it's a character piece. No, you should walk away. Yeah, when she looks at you, all she sees is fuck boy. Yeah. Chrissy's definitely a fuck boy, no?
Starting point is 00:06:39 Am I a fuck boy? I am a fuck boy, right? Yeah, you're a fuck boy. But I'm getting closer to being not a fuckboy but I'm not there yet not in her world but somebody else who doesn't know your history
Starting point is 00:06:48 you gotta go you gotta go to like France to find a girl my relationships with women last just until they hear the podcast so as long as I keep them away from the podcast I can have a girlfriend
Starting point is 00:06:57 as soon as she hears it she's out of here yeah I mean the only way you're gonna find a wife is if you go into the witness protection program yeah it's what it is you gotta get a new name and a new identity to find somebody who's going to stay with you.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Yeah, or I just have to fucking marry a deaf girl. Yeah, because you can't hear it. Because you're suited. Those are your only two options. Those are my only two options. Yeah, if you're a girl out there that does sign language, I'm into you. Yeah, that's the only way it's going to happen. Because you're going to have a nice dinner with her.
Starting point is 00:07:23 You're going to introduce her to the baby. And then she's going to sit down in a love sack. And then she's going to overhear you're going to have a nice dinner with her. You're going to introduce her to the baby and then she's going to sit down in a love sack and then she's going to overhear what's happened to that love sack because that love sack needs to be fucking clean. No, I cleaned it. And by the way, I'm being a love sack for Halloween. So if anybody wants to make me a love sack costume, send them to 117 McDougal Street, the comedy cellar.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Yeah, Chris is going to be a love sack for Halloween and I'm going to be Venetia. Yeah, you're going to be Venetia. Yeah, that's what we're going to do. Yeah. And then Venetia is going to be Mike Mush. Yeah. And here's what I wanted to say. So much like- And Zach's just going to be Venetia. Yeah, that's what we're going to do. Yeah. And then Venetia is going to be Mike Mush. Yeah. And here's what I wanted to say. So much like-
Starting point is 00:07:46 And Zach's just going to be fired. Yeah. No, Zach's just going to- he's just going to shave his beard and he's going to go as an American citizen. That's what it is. That's right. Yeah, Zach's hair is fucking- now he's got his hair combed down like he's fucking- like he's in like 15th century England.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I mean, it's just getting weird. I mean, the guy looks like he's a fucking crusader. Because he looks like he's been living in Saddam Hussein's cave. The guy's got a full Lancelot haircut. Yeah, I mean, the kid looks like he's hiding from Army Rangers right now. Yeah, it's just what it is. Yeah, cuz. Yeah. So, much like the Venetia thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Yeah. You just worked out and you fucking worked out hard and you threw hands with Sergio and then you went and bought six cannolis. But I bought four cannolis for the bit because I know Mike Muth was going to be here. But I also would like a cannoli. But if you don't think you're going to crack one of these cannolis out, it's just like... Yeah, I was looking for one of those cannolis. But I bought four cannolis for the bit because I know Mike Muth was going to be here. But I also would like a cannoli. So you did just a bit. But if you don't think you're going to crack one of these cannolis out, it's just like one of those cannolis in my ass.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Yeah. I mean, it's going to happen. And I don't want these cannolis. I'm trying to lose weight from my Savannah trip. When are you going to Savannah? Because I'm a two. You just went to Savannah. I'm saying I put on a lot of weight.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Oh, from. I thought you said two Savannah. I apologize. It's been like a couple weeks. I'm 211 right now. I'm 211 pounds. Is that too big for you? I got to get down to under two.

Starting point is 00:09:06 You start to lose your hair And then when you get happy Your hair just comes I mean you have a full head of hair right now But two weeks ago You looked like you were in chemo Yeah and why is that? I think it's because I just don't have

Starting point is 00:09:36 it bears repeating he's a fourth generation barber. Yeah. Did you know that? He's a fourth generation sauce monkey barber. Yeah, he's an Italian, he's actually half Greek though,
Starting point is 00:09:43 he speaks fluent Greek. He does speak fluent Greek. So he's not a full sauce monkey. Yeah, and the kid's got... He's a Greek kid. And now, tell him about the clippers that he has. So, yeah. So, first off, he's a fourth generation barber. Yeah. Which is funny in and of itself. I said, wow, because his father is a barber, and he owns Panache,
Starting point is 00:09:58 and then he and his brother are barbers there. Yeah. So there's... You got three family members who are barbers there. Yeah. But then his father's father was also a there.

Starting point is 00:10:10 He's a fourth generation barber. His great grandfather was a barber. Yeah. So they're just four generations of barbers. It's what it is. Yeah. Now when he goes in there, he's got these gold clippers, and I saw them. They're fucking solid gold clippers.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Yeah. They're as gold as that chain that your mother bought you for freaking graduating from Catholic school. Exactly. It's what it is. First Holy Communion. It's 12 karat gold. Shout out Mrs. Link.

He called them serious. Serious. He said, they're like vintage sneakers. They're hard to get. He said, they're always sold out. Those things are serious. Serious, yeah. And then when he used them on me, I have to admit, the buzz was nice and calm and controlled.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Yeah. It sounded like a jet plane, like one of those advanced fucking CIA, maybe like what they used to call those things that make no sound. Like? The fly. It was one of those. Like, you know, maybe like what I used to call those things that make no sound. Like the fly. It was one of those. Yeah, I don't know. Like a spy. What was it called?
Starting point is 00:11:11 It was like, it looks like Darth Vader's helmet. Mike, once you said Darth Vader, Mike would have came. Yeah, Mike would have came. Yeah, if Mike was from the group town, he's like, I'm set. Yeah, so the buzz was real nice and it was a real good clipper. Did you see Mike's reaction when Burr said that he was in the Star Wars movie? Yeah. He started crying almost.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He started crying. Yeah. Yeah. Mike's a good kid. Mike's a great kid. He's helping out his mother right now at San Antonio.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah, he's in San Antonio, but listen, Mikey, if you're listening to this, which you are, listen, no more Slurpee for you. I want you to go to Lake Tha Maple and use that fucking promo code. That's what you need to start doing. Whenever you want a Slurpee, get it. Did you ever notice when we go to dinner, the kid's always ordering a burger? Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:11:48 Yeah. Listen, you got to understand. Listen, guy, we're just going to have to order four. Well, Serge said he'd give him a couple of free sessions to throw hands if Mike wants to do it. He needs to throw hands. We love Mike. We miss him already today.
Starting point is 00:11:58 I do. Yeah. I mean, we can't print anything out. Even the mighty Venetia doesn't know what the fuck's going on. We can't find passwords. The printer doesn't work. We need Mike here. Yeah, but Venetia will learn it. You know what Venetia is? Venetia doesn't know what the fuck's going on. We can't find passwords. The printer doesn't work. We need Mike here. Yeah, but Venetia will learn it.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Venetia will absolutely learn. Venetia is eventually going to start just doing the podcast. That's what I'm saying. We're not going to do it. She's looking at you and she's like, Chris, if you look at that phone one more time, I'm going to sit in that seat and I'm going to talk about guys I cracked out. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:19 We're going to do this podcast. We're here from 12 to 4. I'm not allowed to pee. Because Venetia said I can't pee. Yeah. she's just got everything in control. She's like the... She's almost like the Terminator.
Starting point is 00:12:34 A little bit. Sarah Connor? She's like, you know how the Terminator kind of changes forms and kind of like, you can't stop her? Venetia will just, you can't stop her. You'll try to keep her away, like, this is my job, and she'll be like, she's kind of got that thing where it's like it is your job. But if you do it a little – I'm going to – if you do it a little below expectation, I'm going to come in and fill in what you didn't do and I'm just going to become you. No.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Yeah. Today it was – because Venetia always – she does all the research for us and we're so thankful. That's why this podcast keeps getting better and better because vanity is effort and now the now now it's starting to come with not only just here's the material now starting to come with hey this is what you have to say this is what you should say yeah this is what you're going to do the bonus at 11 minutes you're going to go into this now there's no mistakes anymore no it's feeling a little bit more german and that's why i'm getting peeing in here yeah and as as and if you notice she just keeps sitting increasingly closer to Zach. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Because make no mistake, she's going to correct him. Yeah. Yeah, that's going to be corrected. Yeah. Yeah. Because if you go to our fucking Patreon, there is again another jihad for Zach's head. Yeah, because once you- We just can't keep these fans away from Zach.
Starting point is 00:13:38 I don't even upload them anymore. They just- I know, but they're upset. It's just a thing whenever there's a mistake. They're upset about the volume levels a mistake. They're upset about the volume levels. Yeah. They're upset about
Starting point is 00:13:47 the sound effect volume levels. Yeah. And I think pretty soon they're going to start camping out outside the studio and they're going to try to cut your head off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:54 It's what it is. Yeah, even my manager, the truffle pig, he just called me out there and was like, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, Zach, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink. And I was like, oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 And then he got mad at the audio levels. Yeah. Should we wish on she and that? I mean, I just... I'm just making pig sounds. Yeah, you then he got mad at the audio levels. We should weigh Sean Chee on that? I'm just making pig sounds. Is there anything wrong with the music? I'm not generalizing, I'm just saying him specifically because he finds little truffle money bags.
Starting point is 00:14:14 It's not because that he happens to be Jewish. You're saying it because he happens to be a manager in comedy, and they're all truffle pigs. They find the money. It has nothing to do with being Jewish. They're they're all truffle picks. Yeah, they're all truffle picks. They find the money. No matter what their background is, they're true.
Starting point is 00:14:26 It has truly nothing to do with being Jewish. They're parasitical truffle picks. Yeah, if he was a Catholic kid, I would still call it because he's just excellent at finding the money. He's got to sniff out the money. Yeah, and he listens to that because he smells the money.
Starting point is 00:14:36 So now he hears what's going on. Much like a lot of our expressions, we just have to... We're not getting rid of the Patreon. No, and yet... Yeah. And much like most of our expressions, we just have to distance ourselves from the original meaning of them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Because we're not losing them because they're too funny. But, you know, we got to distance ourselves. It's like cocksucker. Cocksucker's too funny a thing. Yeah. But it started out as a gay slur. But nobody cares about that now anymore. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:15:00 It's starting to get to the point now where I think it's not – we're not there yet. But I was telling you this. Bob Maneri on Instagram, he's got that really funny Instagram account where he like does announcer voices over like funny – over actual sports videos. And he like curses and it's like whatever. And on Saturday, he put up a video of a football player. I forgot what team, a college team, and his last name was F-A-G-G-O-T or F-A-G-O-T. So it's like faggot, but it's actually pronounced Fagot. And he did this whole video. It was like, what a touchdown kick for Jack Faggot. And the crowd screams, faggot, faggot.
Starting point is 00:15:35 And he just kept screaming it, right? And that was the video he posted. I'm not like that. I'm regurgitating what he said. And then he got all this hate mail that was like, no, it's for go. It's for go. It's for go. So he makes a video and he says, you know, I apologize.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I shouldn't have said that word, faggot. And it's for go. And we should have done our research. And he's like me and Peter, who's his imaginary partner in the thing, but it's really all him. And he goes, but to the people, because he's about, he's also the voice of Buffalo Wild Wings. He was like, he was like to the people who are like, you know, buff or tell me I'm going to lose my Buffalo Wild Wings sponsor.
Starting point is 00:16:05 He's like, I'm not at all. He goes, they need me more than I need them. He said, so I apologize for the video. I'm sorry. He said, I love all people. I have no problem with gays. So stop trying to cause a fucking problem. It's not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:16:17 He was like, I'll see you. And he said to Buffalo Wild Wings, he's like, I'll see you in the studio on Monday. Yeah, because they need his following and power to the people now. My point is that in a little bit, it's like this whole cancel culture
Starting point is 00:16:28 is starting to slow down just a little bit. I mean, we're going to get canceled eventually, but... No, we're not. And it is slowing down because, yeah,
Starting point is 00:16:36 we are the business now. Comedians are the business. It's what it is. They need our fan bases. We build things organically because it's the only organic thing left. Everything else is
Starting point is 00:16:43 publicist paid for and just bullshit. Bullshit. Yeah. Yeah. Should we tell them the truth about our article? The truth about our article? Yeah, because even Zach said he was like, you know, it was a great, great write-up.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Yeah. I mean, I'm a good writer. So it's just what it is. Yeah. Yeah. I'm getting messages from everybody. Yeah. Well, good.
Starting point is 00:17:01 It's out there now. It's out there now. Yeah. So expect more from powerful news sources saying that they like our stuff. Yeah. Well, good. It's out there now. It's out there now. So expect more from powerful news sources saying that they like our stuff. Absolutely. CNN just wrote a nice article about us. It's getting posted tomorrow. You'll be seeing it soon.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Yeah, it's what it is. Yeah, and it's like, listen, guy. You know, it's like, listen, whoever made that clip and sent it to Keeping Joe, here's one for you to make, too. It's like, listen, guy. Yeah. Nobody cares. Yeah. Okay?
Starting point is 00:17:24 It's not serious. We're in comedy. Yeah. Okay? It's not serious. We're in comedy. Yeah. Okay? This little inside high school stuff where we make fun of each other, it's all in good fun, but it's not real. Nobody cares. It doesn't.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Okay? Luis J. Gomez and Nicole Arbor, Luis Joe, nobody cares. Yeah. Okay? Do your fucking tour together or whatever, and the stupid little vendetta you got, nobody cares. Yeah. It's not a real problem.
Starting point is 00:17:43 It's all show business, baby. Yeah. This is, it's all, everything has become show business yeah including media you know how wrestling calls itself sports entertainment yeah media should just start calling itself media entertainment yeah because you're entertainment you're not real news anymore yeah sorry guys fake news trump 2020 it's a character piece character piece it's what it is i got a dm from patty i got a i got a i got a dm from the real Patty Flyballs.

Starting point is 00:18:13 So it's a character piece. It's a character piece. Yeah. We're going to talk about Prohibition today, and it's going to be fucking wild. You know a lot about Prohibition. You go peering for Prohibition. You wanted to do Prohibition for the live Gramercy Theater show, and I said, no, we got to talk about the firefighters.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Yeah. You know, look. November 9th. Almost sold out. Yeah. Here's the thing, guys. Show at it. We got to use the right term.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Show at it. Yeah, show at it. Because that's what people start to go peering. Oh, these kids are selling tickets. Show at it. Exactly. Well, it's true. Which is technically true, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:37 It is technically true. We sold out the first one. Yeah, when I say almost sold out, I mean about halfway full. Yeah, so go ahead. No, that's not true, though. That actually is not true. For the joke,
Starting point is 00:18:44 we got about only, there's truly about, I think there's like 30 tickets left. There's single digit tickets left. Oh, yeah, that too. That is true. That is absolutely true. But reality is a suggestion. Reality is a suggestion. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Okay? But the truth is, it is very low single digits. It truly, no. It could be sold out right now. It actually could be. Yeah. We got to call one of the truffles. Yeah, one of the truffles.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Oh, I'll text him. And then when he gets out of synagogue, he'll get back to me. Yeah, but again, the truffle has nothing to do with that he's going to synagogue. No, it's just no. It's just Chris, he can't help himself. Can we clear the air, please? How you doing? That's my friend, Patty Mulrooney.
Starting point is 00:19:16 He's never been to the city. First time he brought his passport to the Brooklyn Bridge. We went there. You got to excuse him. He's never met a Jew in person. You know, a couple firefighters, and we will pull you out of fire no matter what your political persuasions are.
Starting point is 00:19:28 It's what it is. If you voted Hillary, it'd just be a little slower. It just might be a little slower if you're a Democrat. Yeah, that's what it is. I think, yeah, guys, I think they just move up the stairs
Starting point is 00:19:36 a little slow in certain neighborhoods. Yeah, and also, we have on occasion called in a fire that there wasn't a fire, and we did show up at the scene to get overtime. Yeah, that did happen. It's just what it is. Yeah, it's what it is. And there also have been a couple we did it we did show up at the scene to get off of time yeah that did happen that's just what it is we yeah it's what it is and they also have been a couple of times where we saw some people that look like democrats and we just hit them
Starting point is 00:19:49 with the fire hose we probably need is that a cackle is that a cackle no we just have to clean them off a little yeah we have to clean off the ladder 14 and can i get away from the exact if that button works thank you very much that clears the. That clears the air. That clears the air. It's a character piece. Yeah, so why don't we get in. You want to get into the history right now? Let's do that. I do.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Okay, because now you, Prohibition, for you. First of all. Because you know a lot more about it than I do. Yeah. But I know about it. Yeah, well, yeah. First of all, well, it's your people. This is something you should be very interested in.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Sauce monkeys. No, you're not a sauce monkey. It was funny because, yeah, some kid was trying to diss Sebastian Maniscalco when I did that impression of him at the comedy karaoke. What were they saying? What were this asshole saying? Well, he said, no, thank you. I want Chrissy D to be our Italian representative.
Starting point is 00:20:39 I said, Chrissy D's not Italian. The only thing Italian about Chrissy is the name DiStefano. Yeah. You look at you, and much like a German kid, you're a handsome kid, but I told you you're peaking now because your skin, you're starting to fall apart. Why? What's going on? What happens is you guys start drinking.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Yeah. I mean, you start moving a lot of vegetables. Yeah. Am I starting to fall apart now already? No, you're still a good looking kid, but you don't have the skin of Greeks. Right. You see how Venetia's got the fucking perfect skin? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:07 You guys get reddish and translucent. You got the skin. You really do have the skin tone of a shower liner. Yeah. So as you get over 40, once you hit 40- The skin starts to get bad. You guys all look weathered like you climbed Mount Everest. Yeah, I have a big pimple too.
Starting point is 00:21:21 You got wind burn on your face. Yeah. Yeah, but that's because of the booze. You guys can't keep your fucking pauper paws off of brews. Yeah. You love brews. Yeah, I threw down a few brews in Wisconsin. Yeah, you like brews.
Starting point is 00:21:33 By the way, shout out to the people who came to comedy on state. What a great fucking club in Madison, Wisconsin. And yeah, I ate a lot of beers, a lot of cheese curds. Yeah, and shout out to a couple cute kids that fucking came down to Jamestown, New York. We're going to be going back there. Francesca, how you doing? I know you're listening right now. She's a fan of the Hyenas.
Starting point is 00:21:51 That's why she brought me out. Bring us back. Bring the Hyenas for the Lucille Ball Fest. Yeah, Lucille Ball is probably one of the funniest female comedians of all time. Yeah, she definitely is. And she's from Jamestown, New York. We'll do an episode on Jamestown. We're going to do an episode on Lucille Ball, too.
Starting point is 00:22:07 We do. We absolutely do. But here's the thing about Prohibition, Chrissy. Yeah, what is it? Because you're a German kid, and you kids can't keep your fucking pauper paws off Bruce. You love creating Bruce. So the big advocates to be anti-Prohibition, to start it off from here, were German kids. German-Americans.
Starting point is 00:22:28 German-Americans who were making the booze. They were behind the big companies. Look at all the German names. Bush. Amheiser Bush. Yeah. Yingling. Who's the other one?
Starting point is 00:22:41 We have Bush. We have Budweiser. These are all Germans. Yeah. So they brought the beer here. Yeah. Yeah. And then we had all these Protestant, you know, Germans are Protestant.
Starting point is 00:22:54 You know, a lot of them are Lutheran or whatever the fuck they are. But they don't care. They just want it clean. Yeah. Yeah. They don't care about, yeah. As long as you're not a certain religion, they don't care. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:01 So they were the big beer makers. But the guys who really loved booze were these factory workers. And you know. Yeah, still to this day. And Irish kids. Yeah. So the Irish kids came here and they were like, they worked at the factories and they were like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:23:14 I'm going to go have a fucking couple of brews. Yeah. And a couple turned into 10. And the next thing you know, they were fucking, you know, not eating lunch and just drinking beer like your friend Pate Flyboats. Yeah. Because brews to them. Yeah. Because liquor to them. That's because brews to them, yeah, because liquor to them.
Starting point is 00:23:25 That's like a meal for them. Well, no, alcohol to them, it's kind of like the cement mix to bury their problems. That's what it is. That's what it is. That's a good way to put it. That's what they need. They need that cement mix solution, that dirt, to fucking fully bury their issues. It only, alcohol is the thing that does it.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Yeah, and so a lot of, you know, we always, what I've noticed in being a history lover, and why prohibition. And an FF. And an FF. A full-blown stone cold. Guy. Because I'm full-blown and stone cold. You're full-blown stone cold.
Starting point is 00:23:55 I mean, you're just as, the more days than not, I would say five out of seven days a week, you know, you're mostly estrogen. Where it used to be, you know, three to four out of seven. Like, but ever since you've been married, you're just mostly estrogen. I mean, your wife has a week, you know, you're mostly estrogen. Where it used to be, you know, three to four out of seven. But ever since you've been married, you're just mostly estrogen. I mean, your wife has a wife, and it's you. Yeah. When you get married, it's almost like being a eunuch. Yeah, it's like, will the real Mrs. Pompous please stand up?
Starting point is 00:24:15 Yeah, exactly. There's two of us. And we're in a lesbian relationship. It's what it is. Yeah, we had a gay marriage. Yeah. And I was happy to be there and witness it. Yeah, you were.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Because I support everything. Yeah, and we got some good photos there because. We did have some really good photos, and I ripped a fart during the photo shoot. You did, and it cracked everybody up. It cracked your brother up, and then he shit his pants. So, the thing that I've noticed about studying American history, from our inception, you have to understand, we were founded by a bunch of honks from Europe who came over to escape religious persecution. They wanted to be fucking Protestant kids. They wanted to escape the Catholic Church.
Starting point is 00:24:54 They wanted to escape whatever and do their thing. They wanted to be Quakers. They wanted to be Protestants, whatever, Lutherans, whatever they are. So that's what they came here for. But they, which is, it's so funny. This is the interesting thing to me. It's like every movement always goes too far. There's always overcorrection.
Starting point is 00:25:19 It always goes too far, starting at the founding of our country. These people were, they were escaping persecution, and then they came here, and they started burning they started burning women on faggots. Now, faggots is the wood underneath. There you go. And if I was in England and I said, can I get a fag? It's a cigarette. One for the good Nazis.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Yeah. Wake up. So they started burning women for being witches, and they came here to escape persecution, and then as Puritans, which is the founding of our country, was by Puritans, puritanical comes from, that expression comes from what they were doing. Sure. You know? You did anything outside of the lines of what they prescribed. You were getting tied to a piece of wood and set on fire.
Starting point is 00:26:04 You were getting, exactly. That's what it was. You were getting tied to a piece of wood and set on fire. Exactly. That's what it was. You were a witch or something was wrong with you. Everything always goes too far. So that puritanical urge, it's part of our fabric. That puritanical tendency keeps manifesting itself in different times, in different ways. Yeah. But the anatomy of it is
Starting point is 00:26:26 the same thing and it's american it's fucking uniquely american uniquely american because when you go to europe and stuff like that you know they're very liberal about sex and things like that america we have that puritanical shame yeah that's attached to sex yeah you know and it's um it shows in our tv how like we talked about, was that with the Michael Kosta episode? It shows. Where like you see guys
Starting point is 00:26:47 shooting each other, no problem, violence is okay, but you know, you see one titty, you can't even show a penis. You can't do that. You know?
Starting point is 00:26:53 I mean, which is weird. And it's like, you can't show sex, but like the French, the whole movie is just like a woman banging a dude.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Yeah, and then you have, and then you, because once you start, stop, once you start being open and honest about these things, even with alcohol, you know, when I was in Scotland – I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:27:08 When I was in England in Newcastle this summer when I just immediately left because I got a stomachache and I just missed Giannis when I left four days before when I came back home to the United States. The kids that were drinking there that were 16, 17, 18 years old, there's no shame associated with being an alcoholic in the UK. And I'm sure in other European countries as well. I just saw it first in the UK. There's no shame in alcoholism. It's a family problem. AA doesn't exist really because AA is a shameful thing here. It's like, oh, alcohol is anonymous. They don't look at it that way. They're like, oh, if you're addicted to alcohol, you can drink alcohol. We encourage it want you to you know be able to celebrate with us so just if it starts to get out of hand your family deals with it and you're not shamed for it you just say oh he has to work on he or she have to work on this as opposed to being thrown out of your family and oh go to this anonymous place and you know
Starting point is 00:27:58 basically repent for your sins that's that's what that is that's all that's also puritanical right well you know the prohibition and... And by the way, can I just real quick say something? Sure. Just real quick. It's a little off topic,
Starting point is 00:28:10 but just to the people who are going crazy that the Houston Astros beat the New York Yankees and talk about, oh, Houston's the city up and coming. Because it's like,
Starting point is 00:28:18 I don't know where this fucking idea keeps coming from that Houston is this somewhat close city to New York City. Let me fucking tell you one thing. Be crystal.
Starting point is 00:28:26 And listen to me fucking loud and clear right now. Crystal clear. New York City's history is embedded in this fucking country more than you even know. Yeah. Okay? Because here's one thing I know. Yeah. This city used to be called, before New York.
Starting point is 00:28:38 What was it? New Amsterdam. Yeah. By the fucking Dutch. That's right. The tall kids. The Dutch. The tall fucking kids before England even wanted to take it in the late 60s
Starting point is 00:28:45 because England just wants to get their fucking paw up or paws on shit too. Yeah. New Amsterdam was the melting pot of this new world. The reason why the British
Starting point is 00:28:54 even wanted to get their fucking paws on it was because of New Amsterdam, which would one day be New York City because in New Amsterdam you had 18 to 20 different languages
Starting point is 00:29:03 being spoken at any given time on any given street. Because the pride of New York City is we're a melting pot and we're all eclectic. And everything that New York stands for is what people, when they would leave New Amsterdam, they would just take it and start to go settle west. But make no mistake, the idea was New York. The idea was New Amsterdam. The people born and raised in New Amsterdam said, we like our lives here. Let's move west to places like houston yeah and all these other cities that just became
Starting point is 00:29:28 great cities yeah like chicago yeah and los angeles and all these other cities that became good cities the reason why they came became good cities the fucking the nucleus of the cell of every other city's life make no mistake is new york city yeah so when i start to hear people talk shit about new york city it's like listen guy here it is it's New York City. Yeah. So when I start to hear people talk shit about New York City, it's like, listen, guy. Here it is. It's like you're talking shit about your own cells. Yeah. Okay?
Starting point is 00:29:48 Because you only exist because New Amsterdam existed. And you weren't fucking chosen. Geography is destiny. And Jesus Christ himself pointed to guys like me and you and said, I want you guys to live in the heart of the fucking cell. Right. You guys are the heartbeat of the nucleus of the cell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:04 So we're going to put you in New York City. Long Duck Dong is about your age, Sam. You two should have a lot to chat about. No, we got the best water. Shout out Smithtown Water Department. Shout out Smithtown Water Department and also Rennie Gruner Department. And Houston Astros, you suck.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Your best play is fucked in the short fucking kid like the situation. Yeah, so that was a little steel pipe Christian right there. Sorry about that. I know it went a little off hand, but it's just, guy, I'm tired of people fucking talking about New York City. It's the whole thing starts with New Amsterdam, and that's New York City. And either you were chosen to live there, or either you're a New Yorker, and you're tolerable, and people like you, or you just have to play pretend. It's like I got to play pretend that somebody from Cincinnati is interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:45 You're not interesting. Right. Your city's not interesting. I got to just play pretend with you, and I'm fucking getting sick of it. Yeah. I'm sick and tired of going to these cities, fucking going on the road and being like, I love your city. I don't.
Starting point is 00:30:55 I want to go home back to New York, because the only thing that matters is this. Yeah. Without the Northeast, nobody cares. ISIS isn't going to go fucking invade Cincinnati. They don't need it. Yeah. But New York and to go fucking invade Cincinnati. They don't need it. But New York and Boston get hit. Because it's really, it's like, this whole world
Starting point is 00:31:11 lately is just, let's play pretend and let's make believe that everybody's... It's not. There's New York, Boston, and a couple other places, and that's about it, guy. Yeah, and you know, it used to be that, like, listen, guy, you had to be able to sell tickets and impress New Yorkers to make it in any art form, guy. Now you just some fucking, you know, it used to be that, like, listen, guy, you had to be able to sell tickets and impress New Yorkers to make it in any art form. Guy.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Now you just some fucking, you got some guy or girl prancing in from some place and then they make them a star. It's like, listen, guy, you haven't impressed New Yorkers yet. Yeah. You're not a real comedian. You don't impress me. Yeah. You're not impressive. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Because we're the realest people. Yeah. The Northeast is the realest people. And, yeah, Chrissy's right. You can act like New York's not the new Rome, but we're just playing pretend. We just play pretend. We're pretend. We are the modern Roman Empire, and New York is Rome.
Starting point is 00:31:56 The city of Rome. Yeah. So just deal with it. Yeah. New York! New York! Yeah. Drinking the smoothie.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Yeah. Yeah. From the Bill Burr episode. Even Prohibition. I mean, nobody even cared that they weren't allowed to sell alcohol at any of the places. But when they said you can't sell in New York City, then we had an issue. Yeah, and by the way, Chris, you just shit on Cincinnati. We're hoping to come to Cincinnati.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Shout out Liberty Funny Bone. I love your town. Yeah, we're definitely just going to figure out how to get down there. And Cincinnati is really, really important. No, I do love those cities. I was just kidding. That was a little bit of a character piece.
Starting point is 00:32:26 This is me right now. This is Chris. Hi, how are you? I just went a little wild. And I love the cities. I shout out Madison, Wisconsin. The only reason he was saying that is because that's stupid
Starting point is 00:32:36 and he likes New York because that's where the black guys are. Yeah, so this is Max. It's a character piece. It's just another character piece. Yeah. I only had a problem
Starting point is 00:32:43 with Cincinnati because I thought there would be more black guys. There's not enough black guys there. That's the real problem. We're just two Bavarian hot guys looking for black guys. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:32:55 We're just doing character pieces. There's been a couple of girls I've talked to that say they don't want to hold hands. It's weird about holding hands. One of these girls told me that she has mental illness. I was like, what's your mental illness? And she said, ADD. I was like, you can't just fucking start saying shit like that now.
Starting point is 00:33:08 That's not a mental illness, guy. No. All right, lady? No. You're not a mental illness. You don't want to hold hands when you have ADD. It's like, what the fuck are you doing? Get out of the city.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Some people move to the city, they can't handle it. They start to snap. No, walking 15 miles to go to the gym and wearing headphones, that's a fucking mental illness. That's a mental illness. Hey, Bert. Hey, Bert. We're just kidding. It's a mental illness. Hey, Bert. Hey, Bert. We're just kidding. It's a character piece.
Starting point is 00:33:27 I'm just kidding around. If you see him in the street, don't throw peanut butter at him. Yeah, just joking, all right? Everyone's got it thick in their skin, all right? Hey, Joe Podcast or whatever. Everyone's thick
Starting point is 00:33:35 in your fucking skin. We're just joking. You guys are all great comics. We love y'all. Take your shots at us, but you better keep it comedy because if you want to get physical, we'll take all of you physically.
Starting point is 00:33:43 That's another thing, too. As far as podcasts, other than Joe Rogan and Brendan Schaub, anybody else who wants to stand Brian Callen because they can't throw hands. Yeah, I can throw hands. I'll beat the shit out of any other podcast, including you, Schultz. Wild. Schultz can throw hands, though. No, Schultz can throw hands.
Starting point is 00:33:59 And I also just mentioned Schultz because I'm trying to get clickbait. Yeah. I want the kids to follow us. The kids are fucking... We're trying to hang out to Schultz. Yeah, I mean, look. Because Schultz is the general, and make no mistake, Schultz is the general of the New York Podcast Army, and we're high up lieutenants though. Yeah. How Schultz, how Rogan made all these other guys, we're on the Schultz train.
Starting point is 00:34:20 We've been Schultz since day one. Yeah, Schultz is a screwed-in kid. Schultz is the most screwed-in kid. I mean, the Joker video was a 10 out of 10. Yeah, Schultz-y's a screwed-in kid. Schultz-y's the most screwed-in kid. His Joker video was a 10 out of 10. The kid's a 10 out of 10. He's 10 out of 10, and he's working his guys to death. Yeah, he's working his guys. He says he's not German, but that name Schultz, I think his father might have been a Nazi
Starting point is 00:34:35 who escaped to Argentina and moved up here. He gave that kid, Akash Singh, a fucking full career. I mean, that kid was two feet away from opening up his own halal car. Way song she ain't. Yeah, I mean, that kid was two feet away from opening up his own halal car. Way song she ain't. Yeah, I mean, Chrissy, you're just here. You're present. That's just what it is. I'll forget all of this.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Chrissy, present! I will forget all of this tomorrow. I'm in a blackout right now. Yeah, you're in a fucking blackout! My mind is just seeing Father Bill smash his cock against my forehead and try to make the sign of the cross and come. So I'm just blacked out. Yeah, we went to Ridgewood, to make the sign of the cross and come. It's what it is. So I'm just blacked out. Yeah, we went to Ridgewood, too.
Starting point is 00:35:07 We did a little sightseeing. There's four sights to see. One of them is Rudy's. Nazis used to get their pastries there. It's what it is. It's just a true story. The Nazis sold tickets, and they got black and whites from my local bakery. I mean, Ridgewood was a Nazi fucking loving neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Yeah, it's what it is. It was all German. It's what it is, yeah. So it's good to go to that. We finally went to Rudy's. The Lin it was what it is. It was all German. It's what it is, yeah. So it's good to go to that. We finally went to Rudy's. The Linza Tarts are great. I think it's hilarious that there's a neighborhood
Starting point is 00:35:29 that has Linza Tarts in them because, like, Linza Tarts is like, that's like a Nazi cookie. Yeah, it is. It's a little Nazi treat. It's a Nazi biscuit. Because I want to fucking hunt down
Starting point is 00:35:37 whoever gave that review. That review bothered me. I know. You get bent at it. That fucking bothered me. I'm going to find... Because we could just... We're like the Joker.
Starting point is 00:35:44 We could just send hyena fans after people. Ben and T are starting to look at us now. She wants going to find... Because we could just... We're like the Joker. We could just send hyena fans after people. Benetia is starting to look at us now. She wants to get into the fucking history. So once Benetia... I can see Benetia
Starting point is 00:35:51 start looking and... It's his fault. He took out the pipe and he started fucking hitting every state. He's like, listen Cincinnati, you're a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Everything in Texas, suck my dick guy. Look, if you're in the Northwest, fuck you, you're not important. You're in the Madison, New York. Yeah. Because fucking Frank Sinatra and that's it.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Yeah. So what is prohibition, guys? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. So back to the puritanical tendency that rears its head. At this time, prohibition started to rear its head. A lot of it can probably be blamed on how hard Irish kids drank as factory workers and blue-collar workers.
Starting point is 00:36:33 You know, and so a lot of the prohibition movement was really started by Protestant women. Women. Protestant women groups, these temperance groups. Because they were tired of getting disciplined? Yeah, kind of. Seriously, probably, right, they were tired of getting drunk and fucking and hit back then you got your pay and these guys would get their pay at the factory and then they would go
Starting point is 00:36:55 and they would spend it on booze at the saloon and they would gamble so they were destroying their families yeah, it was destroying their families but it was also, there was probably not that many people doing it that's how xenophobia works right it's like the new guys come along the muslims got like most muslims are just normal people doing whatever they're doing you know throwing sheets over their head just doing their own thing cooking great food
Starting point is 00:37:15 yeah but like a few sandals 12 months a year whatever it is yeah you know you know same thing and then a few of them do that and then like a few of them do something bad or whatever and then they all get stereotyped. That's how xenophobia works. So it's probably a few Irish kids that got a little too hammered and then like all of a sudden xenophobia kicks in where they just generalize and then Protestants start being, for all
Starting point is 00:37:38 intents and purposes, racist against Irish. Because this was really kind of like Prohibition was really kind of like masked racism against Irish. Because everyone loved to drink. Yeah. I mean, it's not just the Irish kids who were drinking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:50 I mean, I don't know if you came across a British kid in your life, but those kids loved to drink gin. They love it. They got a red nose. They're drinkers. They're big drinkers, yeah. So it was mostly women, and this puritanical urge we were talking about started to rear its head and manifest itself in this Prohibition movement. Urge, we were talking about, started to rear its head and manifest itself in this prohibition movement. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:09 It used to be like she's a witch because she said something that's not Christian or whatever. Right. Or she's acting or she got pregnant in a way. She's a witch. Or they would – even like I remember from – this episode is not about the Salem witch trials. But I remember there was even a case of a woman who didn't get her period in four or five months but also wasn't pregnant. So they were like, it must be witchcraft. Meanwhile, it's like endometriosis.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Yeah, it always just goes too far. Oh my God, a specific gynecological condition. Yeah, I just know a lot about the body. You're a doctor. Yeah, I got a doctorate. Yeah, I mean, we did spend a little time with Aunt Eileen this weekend.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Oh yes, we did. And she's not a fan of the situation. Yeah, and I took a few, I snuck a few pictures of her, and I was talking, I'll post them on the Patreon. of the situation. Yeah, and I took a few, I snuck a few pictures of her and I was talking, I'll post them on the Patreon. Did you really? Yeah, I just took a few.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Yeah. So much like it. And she showed, she had a firefighters sweater on. She did have a firefighters sweater and she's definitely not a fan of the situation. Yeah, and my mother would phrase things like. No, she is.
Starting point is 00:38:59 They work it out, but it's just. And my mother was funny because she would phrase things, you know, because you would ask her questions about the neighborhood. She's like, you know, the neighborhood is changing. It's changed. She was like. But it looks like it's changing back. She was like, it was changing because she would phrase things, you know, because you would ask a question about the neighborhood. She's like, you know, the neighborhood is changing. It's changed.
Starting point is 00:39:06 But it looks like it's changing back. She was like, it was changing. And she was like, and it was, you know, it was a change. She's like, but now it's just changing back, if you know what I mean. And I'm like, I know what you mean. We know what you meant. Yeah, the leaves are changing and so are the colors. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:23 So anyway, also on Patreon.com slash Bay Ridge Boys, now that you can also check in with Aunt Eileen. She does. She checks. She leaves voicemails for her nephew, Christopher, who she loves very much, and she just wants him to stay on the right path. They were worried about him when he stopped being a doctor, but once they saw him on TV doing skits, everything was okay.
Starting point is 00:39:42 But you know, he's got a friend from Park Slope, so that's good. Yeah, they were happy to see you. So you can also check in. There will be Anne Eileen episodes on Patreon. Yeah, yeah. So back to Prohibition
Starting point is 00:39:51 for Benatia. It was funny when they found that you were smoking cigarettes because my mom was like, oh, I didn't know Yannis smoked cigarettes and Anne Eileen was like, oh, he smoked cigarettes.
Starting point is 00:39:57 He smoked cigarettes so he could come and sit on the soup with me and we could share, you know, a spot. Yeah, she's like, let me go get my saltines. Yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 00:40:03 your mother and your aunt are two German-Irish women from Brooklyn, Queens. Yeah. she's like, let me go get my saltines. Yeah, I mean, your mother and your aunt are two German-Irish women. Yeah. From Brooklyn. Yeah. Queens. Yeah. It's just what it is.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Yeah, and make no mistake, the only reason I'm even alive and have anything going for me in my life positive is because of them. Because, I mean, Barney Rubble was on a fucking course to just throw it all away. It's what it is. And Lynn and Annalee would not let it happen. And when we get huge, much like Andy Kaufman, what we're going to do is we're going to take two lucky fans. They're going to come with us to Ridgewood.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Yeah. We're going to sit on the neutrals and we're going to eat Linza tarts from Roozie's. It's what it is. That's what we're going to do. Yeah. The neutrals, we're going to sit on them and have a conversation with them and ISIS is going to film it and it's just, that's what we're going to do for our Patreon members. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Great. We'll do an episode from the neutrals at some point. So when we get, so out of, just real quick and then back to Prohibition, out of 1,000 Patreon members, if you go to patreon.ition, out of 1,000 Patreon members, if you go to patreon.com slash Bay Ridge Boys, we are going to reenact the scene from Grease. I'm going to dress up like Sandra Dee. Jan's going to dress up like John Travolta.
Starting point is 00:40:52 We're going to reenact the scene from Grease singing the Sandra Dee song. Yeah. When we get to 1,000 Patreon members, when we get to 1,500 Patreon members, we'll do a live episode from the neutral staircase in Ridgewood. Yeah, with two lucky Patreon members.
Starting point is 00:41:04 With two lucky Patreon members. Who will win a contest, and we'll come, and we'll eat Linz and Tarts, and youcase in Ridgewood. Yeah, with two lucky Patreon members. With two lucky Patreon members. Who will win a contest and will come and we'll eat Linz and Tarts and you'll be our guest. Yeah, that's what it is. And we will do the podcast from the Neutral. Yeah, and if you're a girl, you can get cracked on my childhood bed. Yeah, which is a single. His VHS is still in there. Yeah, and let's be honest.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Even if you're a guy, you might get cracked. It's what it is. It's what it is. I'm spinning the wheel. Okay, back to Prohibition. Yeah. So it started where it's at. So xenophobia is tied in to prohibition and so these groups started to pop up these these these uh and they would these female like protestant kind of temperance groups right
Starting point is 00:41:37 v they were called temperance groups or which temperance we're going to talk about on the patreon episode only though yeah so let's Temperance. Temperance is a fascinating topic but that's for our Patreon members only. So patreon.com Bay Ridge Boys. So they would actually go outside of the saloons and pray. And pray and like block.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Really? And like protest. They remind me of the woke kids of today who like block traffic. I was just going to say wokeness is xenophobia too. Wokeness is that In a way.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Puritanical that puritanical tendency rearing its head. That's why when I was in Savannah, by the way, you have to go to the Prohibition Museum down there. It's unbelievable. I was walking through. It's so well curated. It's one of the best experiences I've had in a museum. It's so unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Let me tell you something that's saying a lot because Yanni, the kid, loves museums. I'm stone cold. I mean, he's been to every museum in New York City. And a great day for Yannis is to take the ferry and get a smoothie and go to a museum. That's number one. That's what it is. That's the number one thing for him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:37 It's so good, that museum. It's so well curated. They have a speakeasy in there. They do live music in there. After the museum shuts down, you can go in there and drink. Did you go in there with your wife? We didn't go at night, but we went during the day to the whole thing. They have a story.
Starting point is 00:42:51 They take you through the story of Prohibition from the rise, the peak, and the fall. That's inevitable to happen. If you've seen Boardwalk Empire, that's what it's about. Prohibition, Atlantic City and Prohibition. It was a 13 year run and some
Starting point is 00:43:08 states kept Prohibition as a state law Oklahoma and Kansas kept it up until the last state that stopped it was like the 50s or almost close to the 60s which state was that?
Starting point is 00:43:23 I don't know I just found it interesting though I thought that it was the consumption, but it's actually just the sale of alcohol that was not allowed. You can actually consume it, but you weren't allowed to sell it. So that's why bootlegging and speakies. And in churches, you could still drink wine in church. Like in Catholic Sunday Mass, you were still drinking the blood of Christ. There was a loophole for religion and a loophole for medicinal purposes.
Starting point is 00:43:50 But what medicinal purposes were alcohol? I don't know. It was much like now, like oxys or whatever. You'd have some corrupt doctor going like he has anxiety. He needs to calm down. He needs to drink for whatever reason. I mean in a way, we've been living in a way way i mean because it's obviously things are going to change like we've been living for a long time for our whole lives in a prohibition of weed right i mean weed has been legal marijuana
Starting point is 00:44:12 it's going to be like the same way that alcohol became legal to these people and they were getting it on a black market anyway i think that's what it is with weed we're in a modern day prohibition which is very i mean it's going to change any day now where this is just going to be legal and the prohibition if you will of marijuana will be lifted because it's it was stupid for alcohol and it's stupid for weed that's actually a great point thank you that's actually good mississippi was the last state in 1966 they also last one to abolish slavery too it was like it was like around that time like technically was still on their books like slavery was still written somewhere in their law until like the late 50s. I mean that state
Starting point is 00:44:47 is wild. Yeah. M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. Yeah. Yeah. I mean just that it's I mean we got to do an episode on Mississippi.
Starting point is 00:44:56 I mean the state is so it's so wild that place. And then we're going to get on a plane and we're going to go there and we're going to hunt for some cute because I guarantee
Starting point is 00:45:01 there's cute shit there. Yeah. There's cute shit there. Sometimes you got to just peel back a couple layers from a place. Find the cute. Find the cute.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Mississippi officially submitted the required documentation to ratify, to abolish slavery, the 13th Amendment, in 2013. Wild! Wild! February 2013. You can't do that!
Starting point is 00:45:24 What are you doing, Mississippi, you can't do that! Mississippi, what are you doing, Mississippi? You can't do that. I mean, it's a wild state. That's a fucking wild state. I mean, this episode's not about Mississippi, but it just needs to be said that Mississippi is wild. Mississippi's fucking... Any fans from Mississippi, call in and tell us how fucking wild your state is. Your state is full-blown stone-cold Franks and Beans.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Yeah, I mean, Eli Manning came from there, and Eli Manning played for Ole Miss, and I mean, the kid's got a Franks and Beans face. It's what it is. Yeah, the Giants are out. Yeah, the Giants are done. Okay, so... So this 13-year run, and finally, it was ratified as the 18th Amendment that the distribution and selling of alcohol was illegal, and that set the course for the next 13 years of fucking wildness. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Because you can't just take away booze. People love booze. People have been drinking booze for thousands of years. Now, here's a little bit of an uncomfortable truth to talk about uncomfortable truths. I love when we have this whole segment. Northern European kids, generally, much like Native Americans, not as extreme as Native Americans, or even Asians who've been drinking alcohol for less of their history as a people. Okay. They don't have the, I don't know the science, but it's like an enzyme.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Enzyme or protein to break it down? To break it down the way that Southern Europeans do. That's why the incidence of alcoholism is so much higher amongst Northern Europeans. So the stereotypes, like most stereotypes, do have a kernel of truth. They have a harder time with alcohol. There's more alcoholics and alcohol is more of a problem in Northern Europe, in all those countries. When I was a physical therapist, there's an actual condition, only it's exclusive to Northern urine northern european ancestry alcoholics that's called a du poitrine's contracture these kids drink so much that their hands contract and you
Starting point is 00:47:11 can't there's nothing we can do it's just a du poitrine's contracture and it's only northern european kids yeah so it's like the end like you said just like how northern europeans have an like people want to admit like with this oh we're all created equal absolutely treat everybody equally of course but it's like we're so different it's not even close i mean fucking eastern hemi's have a gene in their body they don't smell right the kids don't smell right like koreans they have this gene where they don't they don't they don't stink yeah i mean i can still smell them coming but they don't smell i mean we're all human yeah we're all like we all like share like we're all the same.
Starting point is 00:47:45 There really is. We all like if you go back far enough, there's probably two kids we're all related to. Yeah. We're also all probably different breeds though too. But if you stay in one environment for a long time, you start to develop different traits. And it's absolutely true. We're a little different. It's okay to admit that. And culturally.
Starting point is 00:48:01 It's okay to admit that. I think most of racism isn't really racism. It's okay to admit that. I think most of racism isn't really racism. It's more cultural. It's more like people just can't – they see another culture and they get away with it. They just push it away. But even culture, I know we've said it on the podcast, but it's like even when people get bent out of shape about that, it's like whatever your culture is, most likely it's really what the enemies of your culture just forced down your throat after they conquered you and your people. It's what what the enemies of your culture just forced down your throat after they conquered you and your people. It's what it is. Like whatever you think your culture is, whatever you want to stand for, your culture, my – you're taking my culture – what do they say?
Starting point is 00:48:33 Culture vulture. Culture vulture. You're appropriating – Cultural appropriation. You're culturally appropriating this hairstyle or this food or this look or this way. It's like do you understand that your great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfathers would be spinning in their graves if they saw what you were doing because you think it's your culture but it's really the enemy that conquered you a thousand years ago just fucking blasted their culture through you and now everyone just absorbs it through osmosis so there's real it's just where common human there's a common human identity yeah that you lead with
Starting point is 00:49:01 that yeah as opposed to all this other oh i'm this and i'm even oh even your country it's like what is your country what are you talking about it's like what america it's just lines that some guy made up it's not real none of it's real yeah as as as fake as a god of a religion is so is so are the flags i mean i fucking stand by it and i will not kneel when that national anthem comes on i was about to stand up no i an American kid. I got a little concerned for a second. Listen, I'm an American kid, but it's even like – I was watching yesterday on the plane a documentary about the Somme in World War I, the bloodiest battle in World War I. I think over a million people on the French, British, and German side collectively were killed in like a three-month war. It's like they all died for nothing. They didn't gain any they gained like i think the germans gained 600 yards and the british and the french gained like 400 yards and they died for it was all stupid it's like you're all the
Starting point is 00:49:55 same we're all just these fucking babbling monkeys yeah from different lines on a map that some guy created it's not real yeah you don't have to kill people over that yeah i mean but you do because then it's a you know it's fucking population control. It's like, I can't sit in traffic. So unfortunately, your country sucks. I got to blow it up.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Yeah. I mean, we definitely got to slow down making people at some point, especially in a few places. It's like, listen, guy, China and India,
Starting point is 00:50:18 you guys got to slow down a little bit. Yeah. Just stop. Stop it. Stop. There's too many of you guys. Do you think that there could be a thing, and this may be fucking be fucking wild do you think like if you know when you get to a certain age when you get to a sexual reproduction age if your iq is a certain level they just got
Starting point is 00:50:34 a main they just got a snippet jesus christ uh yeah i mean there's just german in there it's those are just german bad ideas okay those are Those are bad German ideas. It's a character piece. Yeah, it's a character. It's not who I am. Yeah, I mean, talk about how it's just people are different. There's a German kid right there. That just comes from a German brain. It was a bad idea. Jesus Christ. I'm drunk.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Speaking of World War I, thank you, Chris, for bringing that up. Yeah, Venetia, you've got to be louder. Yeah, they can't hear you. Well, you know you're not a performer. You're not doing, for bringing that up. Yeah. Venetia, you've got to be louder. Oh, okay. Yeah, they can't hear you. Well, you know you're not a performer. You're not doing a character piece. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:51:09 No, but your voice is still dope. Yeah, but you're just much like a Greek woman and a Greek mother. When the public are watching, she's like, I'm just as sweet. That's what my mothers do. She meet you in public. I'm just as sweet, quiet. And then when the cameras are off, sit over there, fucking do it. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:52:36 Yeah, guy. Yeah, listen. I'm sorry. I got your voicemail the other day about Bay Ridge. I like the... I think it's a great neighborhood, but let me just...
Starting point is 00:52:43 The only question I have to you... There's one prereq that we obviously got to ask anybody moving into Bay Ridge. Get the way Jean-G button ready. There like the... I think it's a great neighborhood, but let me just... The only question I have, there's one prereq that we obviously got to ask anybody moving into Bay Ridge. Get the way Jean-G but ready. There's just... No, just one prereq. It's just, who'd you vote for the last election? Because if it's Hillary, I'm going to ask you to find another neighborhood. Listen, I think
Starting point is 00:52:59 Bay Ridge would be good for me. I always vote Italian. There it is. Listen, if you like... Listen to me, if you like Italian food. I'm going to put him in my apartment, so just tell him to stop overthinking it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, you're going to? Okay, that's great. I'm going to put him in my apartment.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Well, yeah, that's good because now you're saving a suicide from somebody else. So it's good. Yeah, we'll tell you about that off the edge, Roses. I wanted to see if he could send me some pics. I wanted to talk apartment. All you got to know, Joey, let me tell you something. Just scroll back on my Instagram. All you got to know about Yanni's apartment is you got a perfect view of the Freedom Tower.
Starting point is 00:53:31 That should sell you right there. Yeah, that's it. You can see freedom out your fucking window. Yeah. So what do you want, guy? Yeah. You can see the pillar of fucking freedom where the fucking towers went down and we lost fucking good kids that day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:42 You can see the fucking- It's a one fucking bedroom apartment in New York City, Joey. What do you want? It's in a beautiful neighborhood. The apartment's beautiful. It'll be fully furnished for you. The bathroom needs a renovation and that's it.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Yeah, and you can get prostitutes in there late night on the elevator. Yeah. Joey Roses. Can I have my dog there, Jonas? Of course you can have your dog there. I got a dog. I mean, what are you,
Starting point is 00:54:01 fucking stupid? Yeah, no. We could have the dog. Cuz, and, guess what? The best news is... And you kind of look like me, so that'll be good that you can fill in for Chrissy D, because when he wants to take a walk... Yeah, because I like to take a lot of walks.
Starting point is 00:54:13 You could probably use my gym membership and use it, and then when my face comes up on the screen, we just look like the same person. Yeah, you guys look like the same guy, so that'll help me out a lot, because I'm really going to be sad when Yanni leaves, but at least I'll just have you. But the thing is you'll get cracked open though too. Here's the thing, Chrissy.
Starting point is 00:54:29 You're going to have to play a big role in my life when I move into that neighborhood. We're going to have to ramp it up a little bit. We're going to have to become a little more dependent on each other, a little closer emotionally. I'm going to need a guy to... Alright, that was joe de rosa
Starting point is 00:54:45 that's all back to venetia yeah so um the temperance act basically they had been trying to pass the balsa act for many years and so what happened is that they finally got some encouragement because of world war one because uh because the nation needed actually to use the... Well, that was a big propaganda thing, too. They were saying, they used it. They were like, we should be using this for bread because we're in war and not for alcohol. And so...
Starting point is 00:55:16 We need it for the boys. Can you text him, though? Text to Rose. I feel bad. Don't worry. It's funny. Don't worry about it. But I feel bad for the kid. We're on a podcast, so it's fine. Yeah, he's fine. He fucking opens up for Bill Burr. I mean, me and fucking, we abuse each other all the time.
Starting point is 00:55:31 It's fun stuff. You got a mean streak, guy. I got a huge mean streak. Yeah, thank God you're not German. Yeah. Something about Joe? You want to step to this? Try it.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Yeah. Anyway. All right, so yeah. It's just a joke. It's a character piece. World War I. So yeah, what were the crazy things that you guys thought happened during the Prohibition time? There was a lot of wild stuff like, you know, this is a time where there's gangs coming out, like the speakeasies.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Well, just some HHFODs. That was great that you said. It was called, it's the 18th Amendment, and it was called the Volstead Act. So that's officially, boom. Prohibition is now law of the land for 13 fucking years. But specifically prohibition means you cannot manufacture it, you can't sell it, but you can
Starting point is 00:56:12 consume it. It's illegal. So if you can get your dirty pauper paws on it... If you can get your dirty pauper paws on it, you could, but I don't think you could consume it. You just weren't... No, you were allowed to consume it, but you weren't allowed to manufacture it or sell it So that's why everybody
Starting point is 00:56:27 Is creating these And what's a speakeasy For people who don't know Speakeasy is those Secret little bars Like that you have to have The secret knock To know to get in
Starting point is 00:56:36 And people would be drinking You know under cover Yeah At night You know the police At this time They were going around They were fucking
Starting point is 00:56:41 Raiding You know Wherever they would find illegal booze everything was a booze was illegal they would you know there's all those famous videos and photos of cops just using those axes to kind of sure because there was you know there was squads there was prohibition squads that would go around and try to find alcohol i mean the um elliot ness and his boys the famous movie their whole goal was to fight bootleggers. What was the –
Starting point is 00:57:07 In Chicago. In Chicago. What was the prison terms? What would you get if you got caught? Does anybody know? That's a good question. How long – because if you get caught selling weed, it's not that big of a deal anymore. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:20 It is, of course. Of course, if you get caught smoking it, nothing even happens. Even – you would get a ticket, maybe, in some states. ISIS, can you look that up? Like, I want to know, like, how it was criminalized. And also, Al Capone, this is where Al Capone becomes, like, the famous Al Capone is because he excelled in
Starting point is 00:57:35 bootlegging. I mean, Kidd was here for a short time, not a long time. Because another real quick, another quick one-day trip we got to do is the Eastern State Penitentiary. Go down to Philadelphia, get some butyr, get some Gina's Cheese Steaks, and then go visit the Eastern State Penitentiary. Go down to Philadelphia, get some butyr, get some Gina's cheesesteaks, and then go visit the Eastern State Penitentiary. It's an old-school Quaker prison that was haunted and also housed Al Capone for five years. So we could do that. That's good.
Starting point is 00:57:54 We should do that. Yeah. Don't tell the girl I want to crack it. So in 1917 – Here, I'm not spending it to you. Snapchat, CD, TV. It was actually Woodrow Wilson, the kid, Woodrow Wilson, who was kind of an asshole. We'll do another episode of him. Yeah, which is a good name for your piece, Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson is a great name for your piece. Woodrow Wilson, the kid, Woodrow Wilson, who was kind of an asshole. We'll do another episode of him.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Yeah, which is a good name for your piece, Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson's a great name for your piece. He's the one who, he kind of, he started it. He instituted a temporary wartime prohibition in order to save grain for producing food. But that was a little bullshit. I think it was a little propaganda. It was like
Starting point is 00:58:21 he was doing a little test to be like, hey, we're going to start this way and rationalize it. A little bit of an FF. Yeah, that he was doing a little test to be like, hey, we're going to start this way and rationalize it. A little bit of an FF. Yeah, that we're banning alcohol to save grain when really, you know. FF move. There's plenty of fucking food here. Yeah, FF move. So that was like the first little prohibition that happened.
Starting point is 00:58:35 It was like a little prohibition like they were just a tip. Test it out. Hitler would do shit like that actually too. Yeah, now I'm listening. No, he would. He would fucking ban. He would do a little thing and see how people react, and then he would go further. That's actually, we can get into that in another episode as well.
Starting point is 00:58:48 The punishment would be a $5,000 fine or imprisonment for not exceeding one year or both. Wow. I mean, 5Gs, I mean, inflation rates, I mean, that's a fucking big, you can't, normal, everyday person can't pay a $5,000 fine. No, that's a lot. So what they used medicinal whiskey for back in the day was like toothaches, flu, you know, because it would numb you out. So that's what they would do.
Starting point is 00:59:09 It was also an astringent because it's alcohol, so it would clean. Still to this day, my pediatrician, I remember when my daughter was teething, they were like, put a little rum on her pacifier. Yeah, numb it out. Still to this day, it's the best thing to do. Numbed it out. Numbed it out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:20 So, you know, obviously in this 13-year period, we have the rise of organized crime, the most famous being in Chicago. Al Capone. And he was a New York kid. I was going to say, the kid, again, he comes from New Amsterdam. I know these, anybody who gets famous, I mean, Carmelo Anthony, Michael Jordan, I mean, these kids come from New Amsterdam. I'm just going to call it New Amsterdam. Yeah, Jordan was born in New York City.
Starting point is 00:59:40 It's just what it is. Mike Tyson. Bill Burr wants to deny that, but it's just the truth, Billy. It's just the truth, Billy. So just stop it. You're a good, funny guy, because I guarantee you somebody in your family grew up in New Amsterdam. Yeah,'s just what it is. Mike Tyson. Bill Burr wants to deny that, but it's just the truth, Billy. It's just the truth, Billy. So just stop it. You're a good funny guy because I guarantee you somebody in your family
Starting point is 00:59:47 grew up in New Amsterdam. Yeah, it's what it is. And also, he's a New York comic, really. Yeah, you got good in New York. You really got good in New York. So, you know, federal and local authorities
Starting point is 00:59:59 started to work in concert to enforce prohibition. And this was the roaring 20s, man. So at this time, you used to have women starting to kind of live and go out and dance. You have the famous images of what they call the flappers, that whole style. Women were kind of breaking free. Women were starting to vote. And they were fucking boozing.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Suffrage movement. Jazz was coming. You go to those little black speakeasies in Harlem and wherever in New York City, and people were drinking booze and dancing. Yeah. That was the spirit of the time. Al Capone was making like $6 million fucking dollars a week. A week?
Starting point is 01:00:32 That's how much money he was getting moving booze. Yeah. And he famously said, hey- If that kid had a Patreon, it would sell tickets. He would fucking move tickets. He actually earned $60 million annually, a year. I mean, so much money, he didn't know what to do with it. He was here for a good time, a long time. That kid had a short run.
Starting point is 01:00:50 That kid had to have had more money than some governments at that time. Some national governments. That kid had more money than fucking Finland. You look at the big drug dealers who make the money, the famous ones like Al Capone and then Pablo Escobar. they do have a point.
Starting point is 01:01:06 They're making so much money because there's a huge demand for it. So it's like if they don't do it, somebody else is going to do it. So at some point, I don't know, what do you do? It's like, do you want me to be a capitalist or not? Because you're telling me you're putting capitalist ideologies in my head from day
Starting point is 01:01:22 one and then what, I can't go be a capitalist and sell some fucking coke? Yeah. I mean, because Miami... That's what it is. The thing is, the black booze market, because of Prohibition, it's not taxed and everything. The government was losing a lot of fucking money that they could have been taxing. And this whole black market was one of the main economies of America. Just like cocaine, nobody wants to talk about it, but the whole city of Miami runs on the economy of cocaine.
Starting point is 01:01:46 That's where it all comes in. Nobody has a real job. Everyone's dealing fucking coke. It's the shadow economy of Miami. Oh, it's like, oh, Miami. And again, who likes to do fucking booze and who likes to do coke? White kids. White! Yeah, the fucking dolphins
Starting point is 01:02:01 are doing blow. A lot of people were dying as well because they were trying to make moonshine. And so I think like 10,000 people died over the years because of this. So it just goes to show. Oh, like you mean the alcohol was like tainted. It's like the Dominican Republic. Well, yeah, people were making moonshine in their bathtubs. And they were making it out in the country.
Starting point is 01:02:22 A lot of these southern kids were making moonshine out in the country. Sure. And so, you know, the political party came up, you know, rose up around prohibition. You had these ministers who were giving these fiery speeches, one of which was this former professional baseball player. I can't remember his name. He was actually in Savannah.
Starting point is 01:02:39 And he would give these fiery speeches about how we got to stop drinking and the behavior that comes around drinking. Yeah, but meanwhile, he was probably fucking seducing little boys. It's all balanced. It's all how it is. It's what it is. It's all like you want to be a tyrant and you want to be, sorry, puritanical about one
Starting point is 01:02:54 thing. I guarantee you it's because you're hiding another. The most- 100%. The safest people are the people that are just, they kind of don't get bent out of shape about anything. Yeah, and the kind of people who- I'm living my life the right way.
Starting point is 01:03:03 Who don't hide anything and admit that they're flawed and show you. Yeah, there it is. Those people who are often pointing the finger. You can't point the finger. You've got to get the law. That's why you need law. Yeah. That's why laws are so important,
Starting point is 01:03:13 and those laws need to be based on reason and logic, and they need to be good laws. Yeah. And that's what it is. Yeah. So this was obviously a very bad law. It did not work. A lot of tax dollars being lost.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Now you've got bloodshed everywhere. I mean, people are drinking the same. Driving drunk. It's just the same shit. It didn't do anything. After 13 years, FDR
Starting point is 01:03:40 finally is like, look, this isn't working. The whole country knew it wasn't working. People are being murdered in Chicago over this shit. Bootleggers everywhere. People are still drinking. You can't control it. Like prostitution, like weed. People are still going to do it.
Starting point is 01:03:56 So they boom, slap a tax on it. Now it's for the government. They repeal it with the 21st Amendment. They repeal the Volstead Act. The 18th Amendment is repealed by FDR, and he famously celebrated the repeal by drinking a fucking dirty martini because he's an inbred, elite, British fucking kid. It's just what it is.
Starting point is 01:04:16 He had polio, and he couldn't stand up because he's inbred. He went to the best schools and everything, but make no mistake, those elite families, they're all related, and they're inbred. He was related to Teddy Roosevelt. They're related to probably some British gang. They're all related to some German fucking prince who lives in a basement and eats his kids. And that... Just back for that.
Starting point is 01:04:55 And we're back. And we're back. For legal reasons. Yeah, we're back. We're not trying to keep any content from you. It's just Chrissy's too fucking wild. It's what it is. Yeah.
