I mean, every time we do a phone call episode, it's 212-914-917-718 and 646. It's what it is. We need a little bit more 818s. We need a little 310s. We need some of you other FF area codes. Yeah, tell some of you Democrat friends that don't live in New York City to listen to the podcast. Yes.

Because we support all genders. We support all genders. And you know that if you went to patreon.com slash bayridgeboys, Jan has posted a transgender pic of himself laying on a bed with extensions in his hair. Yeah. Patreon.com slash bayridgeboys. It's just what I like to do when I'm just kicking around the house. Yeah.

Me and you are a couple of kids when we get alone. It's safe to say things get weird. It's safe to think, yeah, things get weird. I mean, my daughter was in the other room, and then I just started making a video saying that I was going to sell my lovesack. So my daughter's just growing up with a dad that's a little disturbed. You're a disturbed, disturbed kid, but that your lovesack is for sale is a pretty monumental moment.

Yeah. It shows how disturbed that you are that you're just trying to sell it. Oh, we weren't supposed to say it. Venetia's mad. What are we supposed to do, Venetia? Oh, we're supposed to do a go-fart? Chris, no. What do you want to do? Oh, we got to wait for lovesack. Oh, supposed to say Venetia's mad. What are we supposed to do? We're supposed to do a go-fart. Chris, no. What do you want to do?

Oh, we got to wait for Love Sack. Oh, yeah. I brought Yaya's cookies. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, yeah, forget that. It's not for sale. Yeah, we shouldn't even be calling it that.

It's just called the beanbag. Yeah, the beanbag, Jay. Yeah, fuck them if they don't want to sponsor us. Yeah, if you... I agree with that. Sorry. Yeah, well,

Robo Venetia's on board. I agree with that. This little thing I found on the floor feels like a golden nipple and it's getting me peeing. If you get peeing. Okay, listen,

here's... Listen, the beanbag is neither here nor there. No, we can't... Well, you already made the video, so it's already out there. Oh, you made the video?

No, well, I made a video, but Benetia's got a meeting with the beanbag company. Okay. Sorry, is it a hot guy? Just cackling. I brought Yaya's cookies. Yeah, I mean, just...

Deadass. So where are you guys going to be in 2020? You guys have spots, right? Yeah, christycomedy.com. In January, you can see me and Mike V. Suarez. January 24th, Hamden, Connecticut. A show was just added. January 25th, Celebrity Theater, Atlantic City.

And then February 8th, just added Kennedy Center, Washington, D.C., all with Mike V. Suarez. Yeah. And you can see all of us in a new studio in 2020. Yeah. We're out of here. We're getting the fuck out of here. Sorry.

We're cooking with gas. We're cooking with gas now. Why? It doesn't matter. I got charged 40% in taxes. I'm a man on a mission. Yeah, and I'm sick of fucking podcasting with a ladder behind me. Yeah.

So enough's enough. We're going to make the studio in Bay Ridge, and after every episode, we're just going to go down to the Salty, and we're going to have some brews, and we're going to get the Salty to fucking sponsor us. If you don't think that there's going to be a History of Ahina's podcast banner somewhere in the Salty Dog, you got another thing coming. You really do.

If you don't think that we're taking our podcast and we're putting it in my old apartment, so Mike Moshe has to walk for the train for more exercise, you got another thing coming. If you don't think for one second that Venetia is very upset about this move because that actually means she has to get on a fucking train. Not dope. And the train grows.

And go past fucking Carl Gardens Gardens go past Park Slope go past fucking Williamsburg and go all the way to El Bay Ridge you got another thing coming yeah and if you don't think I'm gonna stick two whole bananas up my ass and vote for any Democratic candidate in 2020 you got another thing coming

if you think for one second we're not sure if Zach's gonna be with us in the new studio, as per usual, you got to know the thing. I ran out of them. I'm just because I got, I'm on too much Pepto. Because your kid who needs a fucking cork for your butthole. I made a cork for my butthole.

I don't know why I got a leaky butt. Because your fucking smashed bean is spouting like a geyser. It's spouting like a geyser. Is there a bit of tea you want to go on a date with me? Why do you think you got such bad diarrhea? Chris, no. I don't know. I think it's from drinking white wine.

That's what I genuinely think it's from. I felt... Have you been drinking white wine for two weeks straight? Well, not for two weeks straight, but it's been on and off. Big mistake. Big. Huge.

When did you make the switch from brews to white wine? I just... Because I'm a mysterious... I'm a mysterious kid. You're a disturbed kid. I just go into wine stores now, and I get bottles of Bella, Sarah, Pinot Grigio, because my Uncle Russell brought it for Christmas, and I really like the taste. When you go in there and buy that, do you say it's for your mother? Yeah.

Yeah, that's the way to do it. Just like when you got granola tonight, it's like, it's for my wife. She's outside. It's for my wife. She's outside. Because you start to pick up some feminine, feminine habits. Yeah, it's just what it is. my wife. She's outside. For my wife, she's outside. Because you start to pick up some feminine, feminine habits. Yeah, it's just what it is.

I got a Peloton bike and I'm ready to get gay. Yeah. Was that the one during Christmas? That was the one. That was a good one. Because Mikey Suarez

came to my house for Christmas. Yeah, I want to hear. And he's going to your house next year for Christmas because I'm not having him over again.

Yeah, well, you had him over to help you move a couch. He did. He came over to help me move a couch and I'm happy that he survived it. Yeah. I don't know if you heard.

Zach's got a breathing button now, so it's pretty funny. Yeah, it's funny. Yeah. Yeah. No, Zach's killing it. Yeah. How was the Christmas set at the Stefano? It was great.

I had a good time. We watched Home Alone. Yeah. And that's a movie with Kurt Russell. Oh, yeah. Did you hang out with the baby? The baby's fun, right? For a while, and then she had to go to- The baby- Oh, yeah. We can't say it. Sorry. That's a movie with Kurt Russell. Oh, yeah. Did you hang out with the baby? The baby's fun, right? For a while, and then she had to go to...

The baby... Oh, yeah, we can't say it. Sorry. That's a cackle. That's a definite cackle. Well, just cackle it with that. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That is bringing some serious heat. The squeak sound makes me laugh like Marisa. Can I have some of that? Yeah! It's a squeak sound.

It's a squeak sound. It's a squeak sound. Yeah. But yeah. No, so they... It's really, really funny that you're a kid with a great sense of humor. Your mother told you that a long time ago when you wanted her to say basketball. She said sense of humor.

She did, yeah, when I was six or seven years old. But what you meant to say is that you're stone cold funny. Because your sense of humor is very specific. It's specific. It's the squeak noise and Marisa. And that's the only thing that can make you laugh. That's the only thing that can make me laugh. I hate every other piece of comedy you've ever put out besides when you say that's it.

The only thing you like is that's it. Well, listen, you're not alone. Everybody else who follows me, that's the only thing they like either. Yeah, that's why. If I don't do Marisa They ain't coming to Gotham They not going to put themselves to Gotham If I'm not doing Marisa

Yeah And when I say put You just can't handle it Yeah when you say put me to that I laugh hard You can't handle it guys Yeah they're inferior He means he laughs when he's a wreck

It helps with the GERD? GERD pillow, yeah. I got it, and it works. Wait a second. It helps with the GERD? GERD pillow, yeah. It's huge, though. Like, fucking huge. How does it help with GERD? Because the way it props your head up and aligns your body in a way. Yeah, if we pull up GERD pillow on Med Clinic,

there you go, boom. Let's stop, because we're giving people just free fucking ads. Yeah, well, it's not called, it's just a GERD pillow as a thing. Yeah. So, it's not called... Oh, it's just a generic... It's just a GERD pillow is a thing. Yeah. So, yeah. So the way it props up,

it's like it just... It aligns your esophagus and your chest, you know, especially after a big meal. It just has everything. The burning goes away. It's really helpful.

And it helps you breathe too better? Yeah. It's like a medical my pillow. No, it is. It's humongous. So that's the only warning is it's really big. Well, you got a big ass head. I got a big ass head. So it works out good. Last but not least, my pillow no it's it is it's it's humongous so that's the only warning is it's really big well

Plain and sip. I also want to take a second and just say, you know, I don't know when you're listening to this, but, you know, this fucking new wave of anti-Semitism in America is brutal. Okay, yes. And you know what I've realized? You want to know why people. Can I just real quick? Yeah. And with that being said, stop.

Again, it's been happening again. Some emails and stuff. Stop posting any anti-Semitic images. You got a few? A couple of people have emailed me. Yeah, guys. You have to stop. We anti-Semitic images. You got a few? A couple of people have emailed me. Yeah, guys. You have to stop. We don't think it's funny.

We're just joking. We're character pieces. We love the Jews. Happy Harmonic. We love everybody, especially the fucking Jews. We're from New York. Yeah. Just like, yeah, I mean, you know, just calm it down a little bit if you're doing that.

And just know this. I don't know who's listening to this, but I just wanted to get this off my chest. It's like, it's the same fucking play over and over again. It's like we said on the Tim Dillon show, which, by the way, is crushing for Tim because of history. I mean, we'd sell tickets. We'd sell tickets. Yeah. But it's the same.

He needs to tie his shoes. He does. I mean, the kid needs to fucking tie his new balance. Yeah. Yeah. He's coming to dinner tonight, by the way. Good. He's a fun kid.

You've got to respond to him. Yeah. Where's it again? Pilos. Oh, okay. She'll do it. It's already over. Yeah, by the way. Good. He's a fun kid. You've got to respond to him. Where's it again? Pilos. Oh, okay. She'll do it. It's already over. We already went there.

We are the wildest podcast. Right in the middle of a statement against anti-Semitism. We're booking dinner resumes. Yeah, let's be on our phones right now. It's part of what we do. Sorry, just Stefano from Pinoche just gave me a haircut appointment tomorrow. Oh, that's important. Yeah, I've got to get my haircut from B&T.

I brought Yaya's cookies. I'm taking my daughter to the Pizzer. Oh, that's important. Yeah, I got to get my haircut from B&G. I brought Yaya's cookies. I'm taking my daughter to the pizzeria Uno. That's important. Dead ass. So it's the same sad story over and over again. It's like this scapegoating is wild. And I think I figured out why people do it. First of all, they're losers.

Anyone who's like blaming a whole group, it's like, oh, is that group really so powerful to hold you down? Well, then how fucking much of a loser are you secondly it's always the jews because the jews don't try to recruit anyone and we all hate whoever doesn't want us you ever notice that it's like when people start ranting about somebody like yeah it's you're ranting at them because they don't want you right you know and it's like that's the jews yeah that's why I've had to listen to some of your rants about the comedy seller. Exactly. Because they don't want me.

I think it's because it's run by Jews or an anti-Semite. S-Lock-Ass. Way song she ain't. But you know what I'm saying? I do, yeah. It's like. It's disgusting. They don't want you.

So there's something psychologically where people are going like, how come you don't want me? It's almost subconscious. But it's not even like they're rejecting you. They're just not recruiting, which is a different thing. That's what would make you think that you'd be like, hey, these people are just minding their own fucking business. You know what I mean? And it's just disgusting because it is the only thing that kind of unites extremists on the left and right.

And extremists are bad no matter what. And what the internet has done is And extremists are bad no matter what. And what the internet has done has given extremists a voice. That's the bad, dark part about the internet. And I think extremism is inevitable in people because most people are just fucking regular people or they're fucking stupid. And they can only hold extreme ideas in their head.

That's why when you go to your dinner table with your family, you always hear some wild shit. But what's happened now is like, people like that are getting in power. Right. Which is weird. So like,

I'm for power to the people, very limited. Yeah. We need to get back to those politicians who just kind of know it's more of a character piece. Right. They're going up there going like,

yeah, you know, and they're speaking to the people, but they really know, hey, the left and right are both important because they balance each other out. Because that's what keeps the train, hey, the left and right are both important because they balance each other out. Because that's what keeps the train moving,

is the left and right constantly kind of exchanging forward and back, forward and back, because that keeps the balance. And right now the extremism is taking hold, and I think the internet is enabling it in a lot of ways, and that's the dark side of this. And these people are getting radicalized online, and it's just brutal to see it back because it is back in a big way and it's just you got to feel bad for jews it's like again dude yeah i mean we're just minding our own fucking business isn't that what isn't that the definition

of like why are you targeting us right we don't give a shit what you're doing why you give a shit about what we're doing i'd be okay with banning the internet like china i'd be okay with that at this point but then we did there'd be no history hyenas. No, we could still. Yeah, but you know what? I'd also be okay with that where it's just like, you know, how it was in the olden days. Like, it's fair and square. Like, whoever makes it, like, you got to have real talent because nobody, you know, the agents,

and they got to find you because you're the best. As opposed to just giving everybody platforms and letting idiots decide. There's some truth to that, too. There's pros and cons of both sides. I prefer this era because it's... Because ladyboys are accepted. Exactly. Yeah.

Yeah! I just want to get that off my chest because I had that insight. I think there's something to that. It's like... Because otherwise it doesn't make sense. It's like, what is this consistent targeting? It's like...

And credit Tim Dillon because this is his line, but he's like, these fucking extremists Aren't even smart enough To know who their real boss is It's like The Chinese run things guy

Yeah It's like If you want to know Who's really going to run the world In a couple years Chinese Yeah It doesn't come with a menorah

Yeah Okay The meal's going to be eaten It's going to be dog Yeah My daughter today Wei Song Xian My daughter

When the new world order happens They're going to be feasting over. Wei Song Xian. My daughter today. When the new world order happens, they're going to be feasting over puppies. Wei Song Xian. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. I'm just kidding.

Yeah. I don't think I was going to be able to do it with the little cows left. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Because of cow farts and whatnot. That's what it is. Do you have a history hyena fact of the day?

I do. Oh, yeah. Good. Follow the... Yeah. Wait. We're going to say that after. Aren't we going to stick with the list?

No, Venetia, we could come back to it. Did we say what we were talking about yet? Exactly. I mean, but it's just weird if we back up now. Let's just go with it. So we're talking about Al Jolson today. We should love it. We're going to talk about Al Jolson.

Oh, yeah, we need to do that. Yeah. We're talking about Al Jolson today. This is Yanni's pick. Yanni loves this guy. But I got fascinated with him now, too. It's controversial. Al Jolson was probably the biggest star in America, and he performed in blackface.

Yeah. What can you do? What are you going to do? Yeah, exactly. So my emoji fact, the black and white minstrel shows, that's where a lot of the blackface performances came from. Be careful, Mikey. I know.

Well, he can say whatever he wants because he's a Muslim Mexican. Not that word. Oh, yeah. Forgot about that. And this was like really black-faced where it was like charcoal black with red lips and like big white eyes. It was like the crazy stuff you see from old cartoons. It was like the crazy stuff you see from old cartoons. That remained in Britain on television until 1978 and in stage shows until 1989.

So when they say that we're so racist, like we stopped doing that shit way before. And they had a whole show based just around that until almost the 90s. Wow. Jesus. Wow. That's crazy. That's almost when you learn like Saudi Arabia Had slavery To like the 60s 1960s or 70s Or something like that

Exactly Not dope They look like Basically Willy Wonka In blackface That's how Ostentatious Their look for that was

Wow Alright what's the rating On that fact I'm giving that A big smiley Well you can't give A smiley face Yeah I was gonna say

Maybe not a smiley face Maybe a thinky A thinky one A thinky yeah We still don't have the sticks Yeah I gotta get them My room's a mess right now Cause it's the love sex everywhere Yeah, I was going to say, maybe not a smiley face. Maybe a thinky. A thinky one. A thinky, yeah. We still don't have the sticks? Yeah, I like to think. Yeah, I got to get them. My room's a mess right now because it's the love sacks everywhere.

The beanbag. Yeah. Chris, no. Sorry. It's what it is. I'm checked in, but also checked out today because it's just, it's hard to try to be funny and also holding shit square. That's true.

That's me every week. Yeah. So I like that. I mean, Mikey sprinted up my stairs to take a nice shit squirt after he helped move my couch. That's what you did, right? But then he came out and felt better and he grabbed a cannoli on the way out. What did you serve? What did she have?

Lasagna. Who, your mom? My stepmom. Yeah, my stepmom. Yeah. Yeah, Mr. and Mrs. Rubble. Lasagna, stuffed mushrooms. Lasagna was excellent.

Stuffed mushrooms, excellent. Then we had cheesecake, canola. He's got cheesecake, panetico. Shout out panetico. Great cheesecake. So it was just your family and Mike. Yeah, that's what it was. I love it.

I was his date that night. Yeah, you were my date. You're a fun, good kid, though. I would invite Mike, too. No, Mike's great. He's good conversation pieces. He had nice little facts about Home Alone. We're watching Home Alone.

And he kind of just sits there and breathes. He doesn't try to take over anything. He's just kind of present, and it's good. And that was such a nice thing. The new breathing thing is funny. Yeah. Hit it again, Zach? Yeah.

Yeah, that's a killer. That was me after moving that couch. Yeah. You were wheezing a little bit. I was sweating a lot. That was... Yeah. Yeah.

Well, you got to get in shape a little bit, Mike. Yeah. Comics got to get a little bit... We got to start taking care of ourselves a little bit. We keep losing people. But I was going to say, you're a really nice kid. You're a good person. Chris DiStefano, he's disturbed,

but he's also a good person. Yeah. Like, you're a good, good, decent human being. What can you do? That's why you're probably not going to make it in this business. Good people don't make it. I'm just friendly with my present, and that's all I can say. That's all that Eckhart Tolle cares about. All I can say is I'm friendly with my present. If it doesn't matter in say. That's all that Eckhart Tolle cares about. All I could say is I'm friendly with my present.

If it doesn't matter in five months, I don't give it more than five minutes. And drop 2020. Yeah. Yanni, how was your Christmas? My Christmas was good. Look, Chrissy's just a big part of my life. So it's like whenever we're at Christmas parties, we're just texting. I just look forward to Chrissy's texts.

It kind of gets me through. I'm not so much of a big family kid. Here's the thing. But I do enjoy it, but I want to see pictures of Chrissy's fucking family. Family. Any big gift Yanni opened,

you were thinking I was going to pop out of it. Yeah. It's almost becoming a tradition now. We haven't even realized it, but it's sort of becoming a tradition where

just you text me, and I guess I text you realized it, but it's sort of becoming a tradition where just you text me and I guess I text you too, occasionally, but you just text me photos that your family doesn't know about that I'm getting texted. Yeah, it's just what it is. You just go and you say funny things. You go, I'm from a Brooklyn family. And it's just, I get to see

what your party looks like. And you laugh a little bit. Yeah, because it's, you know. It is real Brooklyn. It's real Brooklyn. Yeah, because it's, you know. It is real Brooklyn. It's real Brooklyn. Yeah, because you were having a nice, you were having a nice, quiet night, and you said, this is a nice white Christmas.

And then I sent you a picture of 35 of my family members in a two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn hitting a piñata. Yeah, that's just what happened. That's just what it is. That's not the end. The children were charged up on sugar,

and my daughter was bashing this fucking piñata. Yeah, I mean. Which was just a Hillary Clinton piñata. Somebody's going to write a holiday classic about climbing up the neutrals to Christmas. Yeah. Rafael DeLuca, get on it. Or Zach Isis, can you fucking get on it?

Because that would be a real funny holiday Christmas, crawling up the neutrals and spending time with your family. It's funny because we do Christmas Eve downstairs. Downstairs at Elyd's because we do Christmas Eve downstairs. Downstairs at any of their leads. Yeah. We do Christmas Eve there.

But Santa only drops the presents off for all the kids upstairs at the neutrals. So Santa doesn't come downstairs. He only goes upstairs to the neutrals. Hold up a second. Santa goes up to neutrals and drops the gifts off. So all the kids at 1130 on Christmas Eve night, the ones who are still awake, we take them upstairs. And, them upstairs and you know we have like snow and we've taken a bite out of the cookie and the milk and all that and then the gifts for the children are left santa's gifts are left underneath the tree on up at the top of the neutrals okay so let me just enjoy this for a couple minutes yeah so when when the invites go out to the family, is it two different invites for two different houses?

So it's basically two different cards going where you're formally invited to Christmas Eve at Aunt Eileen's. And then another invite comes and says, Christmas Day, you're invited here. Or is it one combined card with a space in between in honor of the neutrals? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no. How do you do it? Yeah.

How does that invite come? No, the invite. Well, no. Everybody just knows where to go. Somebody picks it. But if somebody walks upstairs, you're going, wait, don't go up there. That's tomorrow night. No, no, no, no, no. It's tomorrow night. No, no, no, no, no.

It's not tomorrow. No, it's all on the same day. Everything happens on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day is, I was at my apartment Christmas Day. I'm saying Christmas Eve, people start to come around 8 o'clock. You're not allowed to go up the neutrals until Santa comes and delivers the presents. So the kids can't go up. So I actually sit, me and my cousin, my other cousin, would sit when it starts to come 9.30

because the kids play in the hallway and stuff, or they're playing out on the stoop because it was a warm night out. We have to sit on the first two steps and block the neutral so the kids can't run up the stairs because my mother and Aunt Janet are up there setting up Santa's gifts, taking bites of the cookies and dripping snow on each step. That's nice that you had a childhood like that.

That's real nice. That's how it always goes. We would always get gifts from our family that we would open up and then an hour or two later, after dessert, Santa would come and drop off a real... the gift that you really wanted. Now, did you ever get caught sniffing anyone's feet and then they confronted you about it

and you said, no, that was just Santa? No. Did you have to tell your cousin? I got caught. That's when I found out Santa wasn't real because I sniffed his feet. You did? Yeah. Yeah. Now, did you know that Chris used to sneak around and while people are sleeping, he likes to sniff their feet and we don't know why.

Yeah. Is there a reason for it? I'd crawl downstairs and sniff feet and then I'd crawl back upstairs. Yeah. And in Baltimore, you sniffed me, didn't you? I sniffed your feet a little bit. But what I would do a lot of times on a Saturday morning when I was 12, 13, I'd go downstairs, I'd sniff my family member's feet that were still sleeping.

And then I'd come upstairs and I'd make myself a Pop-Tart. Jeff has fumes. Now, why are you doing that? You don't know. I don't know. But I don't do it anymore. I don't do that anymore. I do actually smell my baby's feet a lot.

But I feel like people, that's all right, right? Yeah. People like kiss their kids' feet. Yeah, yeah. But when you're sneaking downstairs in your jammies. Yeah. And you're just, people are asleep and you're just taking a sniff at Andy's feet. I do smell my pants and underwear before I put them in the hamper.

Is that weird? No, I do the same thing. You want to sniff it. You want to see if it's clean or dirty, right? Yeah, exactly. So they don't get mixed up. Yeah. So I do that too.

Yeah, do that too. I'm sorry, Ventia, that I went out of order. I apologize. I should have said it. No, but let's talk about Al. I brought Yaya's cookies. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about Al. I brought Yaya's cookies. Yeah. Let's talk about Al Jolson now if you want. Because to be honest

with you, I did the research, but it was kind of like I'm in one of those moods where I just, I got stomach issues and I'm just kind of tired. You're beat a little bit. I'm beat up a little bit. My dad's been in the hospital so I've just, you know. You've been having a little bit of a yawning long day.

You're just a sleepy, weepy kid. Yeah. Because now my family's all dead and yours is dying. Mine's dying. And I just, you know, so I had to do that. And then I just get taxed 40%. So I, you know, my taxes can pay for these fucking useless eaters. Yeah.

You're going to, that, your tax situation this year is making, that hand is staying on the right. It's staying. Well, it's been on, I mean, the guy's on the right and I'm still getting destroyed, so who do I gotta vote for to not have to pay for these fucking mouth breathers? I could be voting. Yeah, it's just what it is. Yeah, it's just a character piece. I'm just joking.

A character piece, yeah. You know, everybody's doing a little skit. That's my friend Patty Mulroney. We're working on a little new play we're gonna do at the Firehouse. It's called Tax Day. And, you know, it's just a little entertainment for the guys. A lot of 14. Yeah, I was just kidding around. Yeah, just joking.

But, yeah, no, I love paying my taxes. Yeah, no, because it goes to society and stuff like that. Yeah, parks and things like that. Parks are what we need. That's what we need, more Planned Parenthoods. Yeah. Yeah, wait, shut up. It's just a character piece.

It's just a character piece. Yeah, we're just just kidding. I'm just a character piece. Yeah, we're just joking around here. It's a character piece. I'm just joking around. Anyway. Happy New Year, by the way. Oh, Happy New Year. Happy New Year to everybody.

People will be listening to this on New Year's. Yeah. This episode will be, yeah. We did all our favorite moments from 2019 and all that, right? We did, but do you guys have maybe any facts that you want to share about your favorite things that you learned? Giannis put up a real nice gay Instagram message about Andrew Schultz being his favorite moment. Yeah, and it was two

sentences about my wife and then 18 about Andrew Schultz. Yeah, and I'm sure Mrs. Potts, yeah, both your wives were offended. Me and Brittany. Yeah, I actually got a DM from Raina from Girls Got E who pointed that out to me. She was like, I love how you're fucking, you encapsulated your year with one sentence for your wife and then a paragraph for Andrew Schultz.

Yeah, but the thing is, that's why you married the right girl, because your wife doesn't care. Your wife's just like, whatever it is, she thinks it's great. Yeah, my wife, that's my private life. My Instagram, occasionally I'll post something private, but mostly I'm just posting that because I want people to view the special a little more. Yeah. Promoting the special. Well, yeah.

And now that it's 2020, we're going to get that special. It's got a couple of more weeks up there being at the top of our YouTube. Then it's coming down. Then we're putting up another video. Yeah, that's it. Because we can't have that up there for too much longer. We should have switched. We should put the stand up lower now and more of the clips up top.

George Washington said it best. He accepts things for as they are, not as he wishes they were. I know you wish your specials could get bigger. It ain't happening. It didn't work. So let's get it down. It didn't work. We got another thing coming. Keep it up. It's a good special.

It's a great special, actually. Your special, Giannis' special blowing the line on YouTube, I'm not lying to you, was better than probably 90% of what Netflix did in 2019. That's a true statement. I agree with that. I would agree with that. You guys should check it out. It's a unique special because it does, the way Schultz shot it, it does feel like you're

in the club, which I like. Which is why I'm saying, yeah. He went with it. Besides the content. Yeah. It was visually better. It was visually fun and it feels like you're having an intimate moment. I was there.

The only thing that I wish you would have done is talk to your family and edit it out and have conversations with your family. Yeah, that would have made it better. Yeah. Yeah. And there was too many punchlines in there. Yeah, that's what I didn't like. It's a little hacky with how funny it was.

Yeah. Yeah. And it was woke. Yeah. But it was a good year. I mean, it was a good year. It was definitely a rollercoaster. It was very Charles Dickinsonian. Yeah. Well, you had death. Yeah, the best of times, the worst was a good year. I mean, it was a good year. It was definitely a rollercoaster year. It was very Charles Dickinsonian.

Yeah, well, you had death. Yeah, the best of times, the worst of times. Yeah, but now it's 20 years. How was your year? My year, looking back. You made a lot of money. I made a lot of money, and then it got taxed. Yeah, I made good money this year, so that's good.

That was positive. Let's see, where I started. Baby's healthy, which is always good. That's all that really matters to you. You're just a great father first. I put you father first. Yeah. Boxer second.

Yeah. You're definitely a boxer second. Boxer second. Yeah. Full-blown disturbed kid third. Comic fourth. Comic fourth. Yeah.

No, for me, I think that's how I – I just don't care about anything but my kids. So it's like my career, I want it to go well, but I just won't even entertain – I wouldn't sacrifice anything that would affect my daughter in favor of my career. If you were like, oh, we're going to go away for six months on a tour, I'd just be like, I'm not doing it. And they'd be like, oh, but you can – at the other end of it, you could be where you want to be comedically. I'm like, if I can't get there another way, then I just don't care. It's very easy for me, which I'm not saying that's good or bad. It's just the feeling that it's very – because I could – I think because I have the physical therapy degree, even though I don't want to go back to that, I just am like – I just don't care. It's like I'd rather just be with my kid.

So whatever that means, I don't care. Like, you could give me – you could be anything. You'd be like, oh, you're going to be the next movie star. All you have to do is go away for three months. So I'm like, no way. Because at the end, I know it doesn't – at the end, the only – the love with my kid is what – it's the only thing that actually matters. That's the only thing on my deathbed I'll think about is what times I had with her. I won't care what gigs I did.

I think that's a very healthy perspective and it's a very healthy perspective for a comedian to have. Well, I'm smoking weed again. So that's where it's come from as low-key. I'm off toots,

but I'm on cocaine. It's what's going on. I'm on LSD, but I'm off toots. No, but you're definitely on Pervitin. Yeah, listen. When you take a little

Panzer Chocolat, it's just, it makes you feel a little pyoing. Yeah. I really do wish if I had a New Year's resolution. Stop fingering the mic stand because I'm getting horned up. Are you getting pyoing up? I'm getting pyoing up because I haven't felt the inside of a woman's vagina or a man's ass in over a month. Yeah, it's just what it is. It's just what it is.

If I had a New Year's resolution, yeah, fans have noticed that I take the mic out and in. Out and in. And there's always a drop off on sound effects when Zach is just writing bars. Yeah, he's tuned down a little bit. He's tuned down. But my New Year's resolution, I think, would be we just keep losing comics. I think comics need to start realizing that comedy is just a job. It's not a lifestyle.

When you start living your life as a comic into your 30s and 40s, you're making a mistake. Yes. It's like you got to work on your life outside of comedy, off the field. And that should be your first priority. Your first job, I think, as a comedian is health. Yes. Because it's such an unhealthy, unstable lifestyle where you get rejected a lot and people turn to substance abuse, other types of addictions or whatever to fucking numb the pain. Comedians got to just start taking care of themselves. I hope that happens.

Because, I mean, comics are, I mean, is there any other profession where comics die prematurely like comedy? I mean, it's actually insane. It's every year, you know it's gonna happen. It's like three to five or six.

It's like constantly comedians dying. I mean, comedians need a lot. There's balance. You know, like, even like, you know, for the holidays and stuff, I feel fortunate that pictures of me, pictures that I've posted or things that I've done, it's like it's with my family.

My family is home in New York. That's a beautiful thing where I know some of my comedy peers. They're just sitting at a comedy club. And that sucks because their families aren't in New York. Like Mike. Mike, his family is in another state. So he came with me. But imagine if, you know, you didn't come with me,

then you would have sat alone or had to go to a comedy club. Yeah. You know, and it's like that can be unhealthy. Yeah. But it's like, you know, they've made – that's why I think us as – me and you as comedians, like the first break we ever got was being born in New York because no matter how far we fall in this,

our families are right here. A guy like Mike took a big, big risk. Yeah. No, it's true. It does help in that regard. The only downside is that we're almost too comfortable. You can always hang out with your friends that are outside of comedy. As I've gotten older, I've realized that that's kind of a good thing.

It's a good thing. It's a really positive thing to have an actual life outside of comedy. Comedy is your job. It's not your thing Yeah it's a good thing It's a really It's a really positive thing To have an actual life Outside of comedy And comedy is your job It's not your whole Fucking life Yeah It's like you know

Cause there's a mental I know like I haven't felt like I've had to look at the clock Since in six years Every day of my life Has felt like a Sunday afternoon For the last six years

And it's beautiful But there is mental exhaustion Yeah There is still Time you need to give yourself off. You know, everybody else gets two weeks, vacation, three weeks. You need to do that for you as a comedian or an entertainer because, yeah, that's what happens. People start to kill themselves.

They burn themselves out. Yeah. They start to turn to drugs and alcohol and other substances, you know? Yeah. And they put too much into comedy and too much into, like it and making this idea of like making it and making it constantly. And you're going like, hey, man, if you're making a living doing comedy, you are making it. But if you had another life, a personal life, you wouldn't be putting that much into comedy. You'd be putting it into your personal life because that's where your joy really is.

And if you don't have that, you're making a mistake. You got to have another life. You got to have a real life. You got to be able to sit down and have a meal with someone and not talk about how did you get that. Right. You know what I mean? Right. Well, like that's and that's why I think having a family is huge.

I know you have your wife. I have my daughter where it's like something will happen in comedy that you didn't get. You didn't get a role or, you role or something didn't go your way. And then you can sit, our peers who have no families, just sit and commiserate and drink. And they've become their career. Their identity is, I am a comedian. Once that becomes your identity, that's a big problem. Your identity can't be your job. It has to be you as a human being. Comedy is something you do, or being being right you comedy something you do or you know being a postman is something you do or painter whatever your career is or our guys

fucking local three electrician yeah that's something you do to pay the bills but you once you identify with that that becomes problematic because then it's like when people work 40 years and they retire they don't they feel like they don't know what to do they're like i don't know what to do i all for 40, I was a bus driver. Now I don't have the bus anymore. It's like, yeah, because you identified yourself as a – that's not who you ever were. Right. That was never you.

That was just one little thing you did, but you made it so big. And that's what comedians do a lot. They'll be like, oh, if I don't get the Tonight Show or if I don't do this or somebody is doing so much better, they feel like a failure. When it's like, that should be a little small part of you as a human being. Right. That should not be your identity. It's really a side effect of being in show business because.

There it is. If you think about Al Jolson who we're covering today. Who's a cute kid who if he was alive right now, he would get kissed on the lips because he was born in Lithuania. And you talk about how I go through phases. I'm in an Eastern European phase. That's what you like right now. Yeah.

I want you to tie me up in a hostel. Yeah. He was also. He was also a Jew. He was a Jew? He was a Jewish kid. Yeah, okay. I had a joke, but after the anti-Semite thing, I'm not going to say it.

Yeah. I probably shouldn't be doing this voice either, then. No, you could do that voice, but it's pro-Jewish. Yeah, it's just what it is. He was a Jewish kid. He came from a Jewish family. He came from Lithuania. He got into show business, but he was the first openly jewish kind of entertainer which is ironic because the kid was doing blackface it's what it is you're doing blackface

and that's where max and stuvage came in yes yeah yeah oh yeah i remember yes i saw al jolson doing blackface and i said yes another fucking hot black guy and then we started getting hot and sweaty and then his blackface came off and i said oh white man gross oopsies that's not what we're into so same thing happened to me when i looked at the old videos of all the guys doing blackface i said oh my god is this heaven and then what happened was i saw that they were white guys it's like a nightmare it's a nightmare we took a shower together and their face melted off and said where's the black guy it's almost exactly like a nightmare i'm's a nightmare. We took a shower together and their face melted off. I said, where's the black eyes? It's almost exactly like a nightmare.

I'm sick of him with a black eye and it ends up just being a regular German. Yeah. That's a nightmare. I want a real black eye. Not a Nigerian,

it's a real African-American. Somebody who listens to Busta Rhymes. I agree with that. Somebody who wants to take me out to Dallas BBQ. Yeah.

Somebody who needs to tell me about what's the latest beefs in the mixtapes. Yes. Yeah, I want to listen to a nice, I like to listen to one of those new age black guys. I'd like to meet a guy whose favorite TV show is Inside the NBA with Kenny Smith. That's the black guys I want. That's the black guys I want, yeah. I want a black guy who doesn't own a pair of shoes because he has all sneakers.

Yeah, I want a black guy who's going to come to our wedding in Timberland boots. Yeah, I want a black guy who got all his Christmas presents at Models. Death. Yeah. I want a black guy who's definitely had sex with Vanity Fair. Oh, it's happened. Yes. It's definitely happened.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.'s definitely happened. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. It's happened. Bye-bye. Yeah. I know your brothers are listening. You guys got to do a better at keeping her inside. Yeah.

Yeah. So Al Jolson. Al Jolson's a cute kid. And his name wasn't even Al Jolson. His name was Asa Jolson. Jew. Yeah. I mean, how Jew? I And his name wasn't even Al Jolson. His name was Asa Jolson. Jew! Yeah, I mean, ha Jew. I mean, the kid is Jewish as Jew can be.

I mean, he was a Jewish and a good singer. Believe it or not, the biggest freaking star. When I'm talking, he was bigger than... How big was he? He was bigger than Bob. Was he in his prime? He was like Andrew Schultz. Yeah!

That's how big he was. He was bigger than that. That's like ass. He was bigger than... I mean, this was the time Frank Sinatra... We talk about Andrew Schultz every episode. I know we do, but it's promoted. It's promoted for him because we fucking love him.

We want to be in the embassy, but our downloads aren't high enough. Yeah, we want to get an S. You stole the symbol from us. Plain and sip. So Al Jolson was... He is like Andrew Schultz. We both pretend to be black guys. Yeah, wow. It's a good joke, Mikey. Mike's got a nice joke. Yeah. Oh, I'm here for it. Yeah. So Al Jolson He's like Andrew Schultz They both pretend to be black guys Yeah

Wow It's a good joke Mikey Mike's got a nice joke Yeah Oh I'm here for it Yeah So He was the biggest star

I mean bigger than a lot of these guys Bigger than Bob Hope Actually the first entertainer to go And perform for the troops In World War II World War II And Korea Wow

Often people think of Bob Hope He Because did your dad see Al Jolson potentially? I think he might have In Korea? Yeah No not Korea World War II. And Korea. Wow. Often people think of Bob Hope. Because did your dad see Al Jolson potentially? I think he might have. In Korea? Yeah. No, not Korea. World War II because the kid died in 1950.

Korea was in the 60s. So it wasn't Korea. No, Korea wasn't in the 60s, kid. Korea was in the... No, that was Vietnam. Oh, Vietnam. But when was Korea? Korea was in the 40s.

Korea was the 50s. I'm sorry, the 50s. He died in 1950. No, he was... Yeah, so he died right after Korea. Yeah, so he died... It was like right after he passed away. And they said he passed away because he was traveling a lot.

He might have seen him. And my dad definitely knew who he was because he's the biggest star. And they attribute his death to his work schedule. Like, he was performing for the troops so much. I mean, the kid was 64. Yeah, well, Vanity is going to kill us. We've been in here

for four hours. That's what she always does. She's like, I brought snacks. She brings out half a fucking tangerine and some almonds. Yeah, yeah.

Those freaking whole food almonds with the chocolate are freaking good, though. They really are good. They are really good. Yep. So he was...

That's how he died. He died playing... He died like my grandfather, playing poker. He just had a heart attack while he was... That's how he died. He died playing... He died like my grandfather, playing poker. He just had a heart attack while he was playing poker. Is that how your grandpa died? Yeah. What, at the poker table? At the poker table.

Just boom. Just boom, collapsed. Same as Al Jolson. Died the same way. He was playing poker. Just came back from Korea, entertained the troops before Bob Hope. He did this stuff before Bob Hope.

Bob Hope is considered to be the guy that went and entertained the troops or whatever. Mr. Entertainer or whatever. Al Jolson has kind of sort of been erased from history a little bit. Because of the blackface. Because of the blackface. But at the time he was the biggest star in America. Wow. And it's really controversial

blackface. And Al Jolson specifically. We obviously know that blackface is controversial for obvious reasons. Well let's explain it. Right. Right. So explain why it even happened. Do you know? Do you have a command of it? I do. Okay. Blackface is controversial for obvious reasons. Well, let's explain it. Right. So explain why it even happened. Do you have a command of it? I do. Okay.

Blackface is wild, wild period in American entertainment. Yeah. It's just kind of wild. Things got a little dicey. Things got a little weird for a little while. Yeah. Without question. You go back and watch a lot of these Blackface videos.

Some of these guys had real fucking talent. Oh, yeah. And even if you read the comments, you can see black kids now watching it going like, this is horrific. This is embarrassing. But I got to admit, the kid can dance. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

So, you know, it's true. I've read the comments. He is him. Because it is. Nice. Some of these guys were good entertainers. So it was just this thing that was happening at the time because it's hard to comprehend looking back like a lot of things in history.

But at the time, it was the norm, much like owning slaves at one time was the norm, much like women not voting at one time is the norm. They're all horrible things. Objectively, outside of history, they're outside of context, horrible things. Even in context, you can kind of say that was fucking stupid. But it was the norm. Agreed. Even in context, you can kind of say that was fucking stupid. But it was the norm.

Al Jolson was the exception in a lot of ways because he was so pro-black. And we'll talk about that. But blackface was basically this movement in America that happened where white guys started using chalk or something. What were they using? And they would put themselves in blackface. With polish. Yeah, shoe chalk or something. What were they using? And they would put themselves in blackface. With polish. Yeah, shoe polish or whatever. They put themselves in blackface, and they were doing black entertainment,

which really wasn't allowed to be mainstream. No white audience would sit and watch actual black guys perform. So in a lot of ways, these were white performers who often were sympathetic towards black performers. That's why they were doing it. That's why they were kind of doing it. Some of them. They also said that people did blackface and they kind of did stereotyped performances

that black people were lazy or that they wore raggedy clothes and they just spoke in a stereotypical black vernacular. Cowardly, hypersexual. Absolutely. So there was that aspect of the world. And so that was the not dope part. Well, that was the entertainment trope of the time. If you go back, you know what the censored 11 are?

Trope. Good word, Mikey. You say trope one more time, you're going to get my rope. Trope for the rope. I'll rope on you if trope. Somebody says something smart, there's a chance you're going to get my rope. Trope. Trope for the rope. Yeah. You know, if someone says something smart, there's a chance you're going to get kissing lips by Chrissy. Yeah, you're fucking Bobby Trope. But do you know what the censors are? You're going to get punched through.

No. They're like the 11 Warner Brothers cartoons. They won't show again because they're too racist. No. Which ones are they? It's like Cole Black and the Seven Dwarves. You can find them on YouTube sometimes. So they were cartoons that Warner Brothers put out in, what, the 40s and 50s?

Right. Around that time. Some of them were really racist, but some of them were just showing cats as black people who were just at a jazz club. But because they have big pink lips and they're acting goofy. So it was a way of, it was more than a stereotype. It was a caricature. Because you look the same way they were drawing Italians. Right.

But it's certainly based in racism. 100%. You can't deny that. It's based in ignorance more than... It's not always racism. A lot of it's just ignorance. Like in other words, some of these people... The internet wasn't around then.

A lot of these people had never seen a black person. I was going to say, but some of these people who made these cartoons or guys like Al Jolson's contemporaries, they loved black people. They would have them in their homes. And the reason I say this is because you look later on when black performers were allowed to perform and when they were doing their acts in the black circuit, a lot of it was very similar. They did

have that trope. They would have, like, you know Pigmeat Martin? You can listen to his albums on Apple Music. So you stand up? Sort of. It's performance. It's like Abbott and Costello type of stuff. What Mike is saying is an absolute uncomfortable truth.

Right. It's true. I mean, he was on Laugh-In. And they would have the one character who was like the... Pigmeat Martin, a black performer? Yeah. Yeah. So it was the same type of act.

Not as over the top as when the white guys would do it. Thank you. I needed a breath. So when you watch it, it's like there is the one guy who is like the lazy guy trying to get away with something. But at the same time, that's what Fred Flintstone is. Like he's a lazy guy trying to get away with something. So it's mixed into the actual archetype of entertainment. It's like it's not always meant to be racist, but when you look back at it now, that is kind of fucked up and racist. Right.

It could be racist. Yeah, it could be racist. I mean, it was overall racist. And then it's insensitive. That's what I meant to say. It was always racist, but they were ignorant at that time a little bit more than we are now. But sometimes it could go all the way to be malicious.

Exactly. Some of the lines you hear are actually malicious. I was watching this one minstrel show, and we'll pull up some of them, but one of the jokes was like, going to the zoo, and he's like, yeah, I'll be there with all the other monkeys.

Yeah, that's just horrible. And my grandfather will be there. That's just horrible. And Mike did say moments ago that Blackface and Fred Flintstone are the same thing. Yeah. He did say that. So let's just print that. That's your shit, huh?

Yeah. There you go, Seth Simon. The only thing is he would never even care about that because he only cares about guys he can hurt. So it's like Mike, people would be like, who's Mike Suarez? So 10 years when I'm on Colbert or something. Exactly. And then it'll come out. Yeah, when you make it to Colbert, you're going to be like, fuck, I should have never been working for those guys.

Yeah. Yeah. Big mistake. Minstrel shows. These were called minstrel shows. And white people were performing in blackface. And they were performing in blackface and uh they were performing the black music and like mike mike said the kind of black archetype which even mike just said black

people were performing it like that sure just white people would exaggerate it more and then often uh include these sort of malicious stereotypes and and phrasing and things like that and jokes you know so um it was racist but it's different than us looking back now at it at the time. So Al Jolson, unfortunately, gets lumped in to all the bad stuff because he wasn't doing that. He wasn't trying to be malicious. He was – you just weren't allowed to have a black guy sing on stage. So that's what he was doing.

Yeah, I mean he was – and he was benefiting from – And he was excellent actually, Al Jolson. Yeah, I mean I've seen benefiting from, I mean, he was excellent actually, Al Jolson. I mean, I've seen some other ones that were actually, there's actually some other videos I've watched where I thought that people were more talented dancers and singers, but they were much more racist. So it's like, these things are just horrible, uncomfortable truths. We're watching going like,

that's horrible, but that guy can dance a little bit. Oh wait, no, this is Mammy. Who's Mammy again? Okay, so. Yeah, tell us about Al, yeah. So Al Jolson, so. Yeah, tell us about Al. Yeah. So Al Jolson, he didn't always perform in blackface. But as this was sort of the popular genre archetype we're talking about, he participated in it and he did some things in blackface. And he was huge on Broadway. Huge, you know, nightclub act, I guess, before that.

Huge star. And then when TV happened, was it 1927? 1927, I believe. He's credited. Again, this is not right because there were talkies before this. But talkies are movies with people talking. Yeah. And the first talkies were just synced up.

It would sync up the phonograph to the – it was poorly done to the video, to the film. And that was weird because that sounded like an old-time movie. Someone outside. Yeah, movie. Someone outside. But the movie, The Jazz Singer, is credited as the first talkie in 1927 with Al Jolson. Massive, massive, massive hit. Massive, massive hit.

Like the biggest thing in America at the time. Like a humongous movie. Like bigger than Pretty Woman. I mean, yeah, as big as Pretty Woman maybe even. Wow. And it contains blackface.'s about a jewish performer it is almost like a little autobiographical let's just say it was al jolson's eight mile okay that's what it was because he was doing black music too yeah so it's al jolson's eight mile was was the jazz singer and it's a pretty much a story about a guy trying to break free of sort of the Jewish religious culture and become a jazz singer, which is black music.

Jazz back then was like the hip-hop of now. I mean, it was like straight-up fucking black music. They invented it. So who's Mammy? So the character Mammy. It's what it is. So Mammy. Mammy.

Sorry about that. Mammy. And that's why Al Jolson. The remote control fell out of my pants. Not only is it the black face, for the reason that Al Jolson hasn't held up like Frank Sinatra, it's like the way he sang sounds fucking stupid now. Frankie Sinatra and Dean Martin, same era,

and also survived a little longer, but they sing, they're timeless. I mean, Mammy sounds like a fucking goat. Mammy. Sounds like a goatmy sounds like a fucking goat. Mammy. Sounds like a goat. Sounds like Goat Boy. Sounds like Jim Brewer doing an SNL sketch. That's how you used to sing back then.

Mammy. I want to listen to him a little bit now. All right. This is the end of the movie, The Jazz Song. Yeah, yeah. Mammy. Mammy. So uncomfortable to watch.

It's actually scary to look at. Yeah, it's brutal. It's a weird, weird thing. After watching this in Korea. Mammy, my heartstrings are tangled around. I've been watching this in Korea. Yeah. I, I'm coming. Sorry, I made you wait. It's freaky. Yeah.

His face looks freaky. Wei Songxian. Yeah. I hope you trust I'm not late. Mammy. Apparently that's Mammy. So it's like his Jewish grandmother, right? Mother.

His mother. But why did he come out singing in blackface? Because that's how they perform. That's how they do it. In the movie, he's trying to become a singer, and his father kicked him out of the house because he wanted to become an entertainer. And then I think

he makes it big in this show called The Jazz Singer and in this show he's in blackface. It's character piece. Because throughout the other parts of the movie

he's just like performing in a beer carton and he's like you can see his true talent but in this at the end he's in blackface. But it's character piece. Yeah.

It's a total character piece. Minstrel shows were just part of entertainment back then. It wasn't looked at in any weird way so what do people today want to do about minstrel shows like what do they what are they like what what can you do it happened in history it doesn't happen you can't do but right well here's the kind of the problem people want to pretend things like this never happened and that makes a bigger issue it's like you can't learn from the past if you try to erase it. Sure. So if you pretend that he was never around, then when someone, some white kid does it in 10 years

because he didn't know it was bad, it makes us, we don't learn from the past at that point. Right. And here's what makes Al Jolson unique, is he was just as much a hero as he was a villain. He's complicated. Yeah. He was absolutely adored by the black people of his time.

His funeral was packed with black entertainers of their time in sort of the black world because everything was segregated like that. And blacks themselves credit him with opening the door for black performers like Louis Armstrong, etc., etc., all the black famous musicians, jazz musicians that came after him, they credit him with sort of introducing their music and their lifestyle and their rhythm and their sensibility to the white audiences.

Right. So the jazz singer, the movie, even though he does blackface, was acclaimed by black people. They loved it. They loved it. They loved him. He was famously against racism and boldly so and did some heroic things. You know, there was this one instance where these two people, these black entertainers with singers were kicked out of a restaurant. where these two people, these black entertainers, these singers were kicked out of a restaurant. He heard about it, and he invited them to dinner and took them to dinner and said, I'll punch anyone in the nose who fucking kicks us out.

He's responsible for the first promoting the playwright. I remember Anderson, his name was, black playwright, his name was Anderson, who eventually was the first all-black cast on Broadway. That was because Jolson was lobbying for that hard. And just a big proponent of civil rights. Way ahead of his time

before there was a civil rights movement. So a lot of people, including the black people at the time, credit him with sort of pushing open that door for them. Which is a fucking wild confusing thing. Because he was performing in blackface which as we watch is highly disturbing

yeah but when you try to erase things like that it makes it seem like it was always easy you know you erase the struggle when you you know what I mean that's why I think a lot of white kids don't understand what the struggle of black kids are right now

and I think a lot of minorities don't understand what their struggle was because like we don't talk about the struggle of black kids are right now. And I think a lot of minorities don't understand what their struggle was because we don't talk about the struggle. We just said, why people were bad back then. We're not going to show you what happened. And now we should be whatever. I don't think people, I know we're in this time of change, but I think that that's all marketing too. I don't know that these people at the top of that really want the change.

I think they want the problems to stay. Right, because it just gives them a voice to be needed. When you watch a CNN or even a Fox News and they're talking about these atrocities, they're not giving solutions. They're just saying, here's what happened, pointing the finger. But they're not on there saying, the platform for change isn't that. It's strange. Right, the problem gives them their raison d'etre their reason for existence they just want to yell about i'm just going to use trump as a hot

trump thing right they just want to yell about those things and but there's never anybody never watch all those news programs they never offer what we can do to change no none of them the argument is the show exactly without the argument there's no show yeah it's a little disgusting to even be a part of that. It's fucking gross, actually. You're a little disgusting. It's gross. They actually do.

And it sucks because I know they're good people. But now it's like the reporters at like even a Fox News or CNN, either extreme, they actually are disgusting. I look at them like they're disgusting. They are disgusting. Like a paparazzi. Yes. Like they're disgusting.

It's actually a good way to put it. Yeah. They've all kind of become like paparazzi. Yeah. Everyone has kind of lowered themselves to the standard of like an Us Weekly. It's really gossip news now. Gossip news. It's fucking brutal.

It's really gross. Yeah, it's gross. But what can you do? You want to read the Patreon names? We can read the Patreon names. But the interesting thing is, the interesting thing about blackface is like, it is exploitive. Yeah. Exploitative.

It is exploitive. Yeah. Exploitative. It is. It does tell the story of like how black people were prevented from like making a fucking living. It's horrible. In the country. You know what I mean?

Like they were systematically oppressed. Like white people wouldn't even attend a performance where a black guy was performing and black people would do. It was illegal. And black people were doing the best shit. Yeah. Sure. So it's like, it's wild.

And then this jazz, hip-hop, rock and roll, all the things that black people invented are now the most popular musics, you know, the world over. Music and culture. You know, everyone's fucking doing rock and roll, wearing jeans, you know. Hip-hop is a global thing. It's all black.

So I think this minstrel show era does kind of, you can't get away. You can sort of see, you can see Al Jolson is kind of like a mixed bag. You know what I mean? It's kind of like, wow, there's a lot of uncomfortable truths here. And you can learn a little bit about context with Al Jolson. Al Jolson's really a guy who anchors you to context, going like, hey, this is why you read history, to understand history in context,

because he was beloved by all black people. He was seen as a black hero at his time. Now he's a villain, but then he was a hero. But generally, I do agree, obviously, that minstrel shows and blackface are a horrible thing. Context or not, it just shows that black people were being exploited. More than being exploited, they were being institutionally repressed. Exactly right.

You couldn't legally make a living. And now, but here's the reason why Al Jolson is important, like you guys are saying, is because nowadays everyone's just claiming, this cultural appropriation thing is getting out of control. Here's the fucking difference, right? Because I've almost never been accused of it because of Marisa, because Puerto Rican's a fucking lover. But I similarly, I'm performing as a character that I'm not,

but that's fucking acting. It's like they were giving people shit for playing somebody who's mentally handicapped. It's like, that's acting. That's fucking acting. Anthony Quinn played a Greek guy in Zorba the Greek. He's not fucking Greek. He's fucking Mexican and like Italian or something.

He's Mexican. He was fucking Mexican, I think. Some kind of Hispanic. Yeah, some kind of Hispanic, you know? And it's like, that's acting. Here's the difference. Here's the difference for anyone who thinks like cultural appropriation is like the same as Mitchell shows.

No, it's not. Because one is like acting. You could call it maybe a little exploitative. I'll buy that. But the difference is black people were prevented. They were like institutionally prevented. If you're playing an Indian guy or doing an Indian voice, nobody's institutionally preventing Kumail Nanjiani from making a living.

In fact, it's quite the opposite. The kid's a multimillionaire in one generation. Nobody's institutionally preventing Kumail Nanjiani from making a living. In fact, it's quite the opposite. The kid's a multimillionaire in one generation. His parents came here in the fucking 70s probably. So it's like there's no comparison. If it's somebody doing an Asian person or an Asian person doing a white person, whatever your fucking character piece is, it's just a fucking character piece. Because nobody was oppressed in this country, institutionally oppressed, except for

black guys. Black people. Black people, Native Americans, that was bad extermination. So that's bad. That's even worse. Yeah, I think that he was, just to kind of sum up what you were saying, I think that it was really... Is this the rope? It's funny, because

I got the chair turned the other way, and I can't see see you and I can't tell if it's robot or real. He was accredited to bridging the culture gap between black and white America. And it's just kind of wild that it was a white guy who's doing that. But it was because of the time. He deserves credit. But on the flip side, you got to say that's a fucked up time Because it was only a white guy who was allowed to do it Exactly He's a great guy

He was accredited the world's greatest entertainer While he was alive Guy had kind of a big head He was also seen as a dick a little bit though too Yeah he was What entertainer is not a dick? He was a little insecure What would he do with the sink?

He would keep the water running in his dressing room while his opening act was on. And this was a credit to Groucho Marx, who knew him. He said he would keep the water running in his dressing room to drown out the applause from his opener. It's a real Nate Bargatze move. Yeah. Just kidding.

I'm going to drink your milkshake. I'm just kidding. Nate would never do that. Nate Yeah I'm just kidding Nate would never do that Nate I'm just joking He'd do worse We're just turning We're turning Nate into fucking We're turning him into

Daniel Day-Lewis Yeah well it's It's kind of true It's kind of true I got pictures of Nate Doing blackface As low as So Jolson was actually dubbed

The king of blackface Right He was actually Was the king of blackface. Right? Was he dubbed that? Was that actually like a name he was given? Yeah, he was. I mean, he was praised for what he was doing back then. Yeah.

Because in my opinion, the kid had talent. If you see his work and if you actually do, I mean, I definitely encourage those who are listening to go and check out YouTube and check out his performances because they're really entertaining and he has talent. Real talent. Yeah. So Al Jolson's a wild kid. Another wild kid. And what I liked about this episode is some of the uncomfortable truths. We got to start doing more uncomfortable truth segments.

I think this whole episode is a Wei Zhong Jing. This is like touchy to even Wei Zhong Jing. You should have done this episode in blackface. If we did Mo's episode in full Muslim regalia, we should have done this in blackface. You guys, that's inappropriate. Yeah, I don't know if we could get away with that. Back to that? Yeah.

I was just kidding. Not dope. I just think so much of this fucking wokeness really devalues the black American struggle. Sure. Because it's all these people kind of co-opting that struggle. The only cultural appropriation I see is that is that, hey, we're all struggling just like you. It's like your struggle is not a struggle guy or girl. Yeah.

It's like black people fucking, that's a struggle. And it sort of devalues it in a way. That's cultural appropriation. It's like, is it really? Yeah, you're not calling me by my proper pronoun. Oh, really? You're oppressed? All that shit is like, you have no idea.

You know, you live in a place where you do have the most freedom of opportunity than anywhere. Yeah. Anyway, otherwise you just can't explain how South Asians and Asians who came here Yeah. That's your shit, huh? Yeah. It's what it is. Yeah. And I do bank furniture a lot when I get emotional. Not when I think I say something funny because I'm just not a likable guy. Yeah.
