Yeah. You don't know what's going on. Well, no, but the reason why I'm half in my phone. You fired the truffle pig. It's over. Yeah. Well, we can get sued.

But the reason why I'm looking at my phone is because the way the setup is. So this is going to be a great episode today on The History Anger. We're going to talk about the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989. And the notes, which normally we're on the lappy. We've got computers. We're off to the side on Zoom. You know, I got no choice. I got the notes, which normally were on the lappy, we got computers, we're off to the side on Zoom. You know,

I got no choice. I got the notes on my phone so I'm just looking for the notes. This is really weird. It's been a long time since I've been in person

and had to like not stare at a computer or a phone. This is actually like we got a producer here who's producing this. You're here. I got to play to the camera,

play to you. See, we're going to build our set. This is our studio. We built this just for one episode because we're fucking wild, but I'll just tell you, I like it when we're facing.

We're going to get school chairs. We're going to build the set. We got a logo coming. Thank you for being on the ride with us. We're evolving and we're taking off because make no mistake, the world's burning.

We're untethering our boat and we're going out to sea. Make no mistake, the last thing the entertainment world wants to see right now are two guys who are white! Cuz it's over! Now, I got my glass cuz you can't see! I mean, the kid, I got on Yanni's glass right now,

Yanni almost, cuz you can't see, you're a three dollar bill, cuz it feels good to just smell you, cuz you're your kid that fucking you have fumes yeah here's the thing about me and I think here's the thing about me and many Americans right we haven't used deodorant in three months straight I have not gone deodorant to armpit in no three months for what I live in the country I've been wearing flip-flops because I've been wearing flip-flops outside and inside.

I went to dinner the other night in Adidas flip-flops. Yeah, because you're white trash. What can you do? I mean, Bubba, I'm so happy to be in your apartment because I'm looking for houses right now. Yeah, I'm looking for houses

because make no mistake, I'm moving to New Hampshire. Yeah. What camera am I looking at? I don't know. It doesn't matter. This one is the main guy. But can you see me as Chrissy Sphinx here or no? Is he sitting up. Yeah. What camera am I looking at? I don't know. It doesn't matter. This one is the main guy. But can you see me

as Chrissy Sphinx here or no? Is you sitting up? Yeah. Just get as comfortable as you want to get comfortable. I'm comfy wumpy. The funny thing is is like we're kind of living

through historical times that when historians look back on this they're going to talk about how yeah people started building their own studios and shooting their podcasts in their houses

and their producers had masks on and their producers were scared shooting their podcasts in their houses. And their producers had masks on. And their producers were scared to go home to their neighborhoods because Antifa was putting things online saying they were going to blow up the supermarket. And here we are. We're in person for the first time in three months. And our producer has a mask on. I don't know. He's got some sort of corona purifying device that he's putting on.

It's amazing. Yeah. And this is the new world. We're in the new world. It's amazing. Yeah, and this is the new world. We're in the new world. It's almost like we're reporting a podcast from a bunker. Yeah, cuz, I'm happy to be starting this shit back up again. I mean, cuz, the episode today on Tiananmen Square is going to be wild. Make no fucking mistake.

Make no mistake. What we're going to talk about today with the protests and all that that happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989 has a lot of implications on things that are happening right now, which, by the way, vote for change, yes. But I think that the episode today, I mean, because I didn't realize, I mean, there's a lot of Eastern Hemis in this world. There's just a lot of Eastern Hemis, which is a good, positive thing. I'm saying it's a good thing, but they got a million people in a little square. A million. There's a lot of Eastern Hemis, which is a good, positive thing. I'm saying it's a good thing, but they got a million people in a little square. A million?

There's a billion of them. No, no, but a million people in Tiananmen Square in 1989. I mean, cuz. Cuz, there's a million of them in Bay Ridge. Yeah, I know. Does one of them want to buy my house? If you open up any of those houses that have Eastern Hemis, it's just, they're packed in there. Have you ever seen the way they pack into a subway car?

Yeah. They fit in there. They fit like Tetris pieces. Yeah. They just know how to fit. Yeah. Cuz, you know what's good about this? You could fit seven, seven European descendant people in this apartment. You could

fit 1,300 Eastern Hemis in here. Yeah, it's what it is. They just know how to fit in. Cuz, can you even say Eastern Hemi anymore? Are we allowed to say it? Yeah, because they're from the Eastern Hemisphere. That's what it is. They just know how to fit in. Cuz, can you even say Eastern Hemis anymore? Are we allowed to say it? Yeah, cuz they're from the Eastern Hemisphere. That's what it is. I mean, cuz, listen. I think we're safe as long as we stay away from African Americans.

Yeah, I have, but the thing is though- Make no mistake, I will be calling them African American from now on. No, listen- Until I'm told what I should say. Well, that's the thing. That's the thing about what's going on now is I know I'm not racist. I know you're not racist. I understand the injustices and it's all horrible what's been happening and I'm all for the

police reform and all that stuff. But I also don't know what I'm allowed to say, what questions I'm allowed to ask, what I'm, I don't know, like I have privilege, so I don't fucking know. So I kind of just, I kind of just don't do anything. I kind of, I just post these videos and yell at my daughter because she's half Puerto Rican. It's like my daughter's the only one that could save me. Cause I mean, you spend your time raising your daughter. You spend your time looking for housing. Yeah. It's what it is. I said, you know what? Let's just fucking get back at it. Let's back in the saddle it's finally good to do a podcast where i don't have to fucking worry about a weather storm coming in just a wepa weather storm

so it's nice to just be in here and be free as a fucking bird because since the last it's wild to think since the last time that we physically met in person done a podcast it's a new world yeah i mean it's a new new world baby yeah i mean yeah it's a new, new world, baby. Yeah. I mean, yeah. It's a new world, and I got fumes, and I'm 20 pounds overweight. Yeah, I didn't want to say anything, because you look like Santa Claus. Here's the deal. We've been doing Wep on the Morning,

which is our morning show. Which we stopped, by the way. And we are going to bring back. Go to patreon.com slash bayridgeboys, because we were doing it. We were exploding on Patreon. And then we stopped it, and the Patreon has slowed. I mean, the Patreon,

I think, I don't know if what's going on outside is a protest against police brutality or that we stopped Web on the Morning because people were not having it. Patreon.com slash Bay Ridge Boys. We got a lot of content out there

and we're going to hit that. We're going to be uploading things on that every single day. Patreon.com slash Bay Ridge Boys. Yeah, guess what, people? Web on the Morning is coming back. Yeah. So enjoy it. but what i'll say is we've been doing web on the morning we've been doing our podcast from zoom and i you've been doing them from behind enemy lines um and so it was kind of fun to watch you because i almost felt like i was a hostage negotiator yeah talking to a

journalist who had been kidnapped by the Taliban. Yeah. Because you just were doing the podcast like those guys who are forced to hold up newspapers and hold the date to prove where they are. Yeah. Because your feet are atrocious. They're atrocious. And I have a deformity on my heel now, a thing on my heel. And it's for women who wear high heel shoes. Yeah.

So you see this bump that comes off? I went and got it looked at. And they said it usually only happens with women who wear high heels because my foot is shaped like a high heel. Can you you see this bump that comes off? I went and got it looked at and they said it usually only happens with women who wear high heels because my foot is shaped like a high heel. Can you not put your toes down? No.

So that toe just goes over that toe. That's called a hammer toe. Yeah. I wouldn't put those things to save the future of this country. I would not put those things

in my mouth. Because? Because if Jesus Christ came down to this planet and said, okay, here's the deal. I know how to make peace happen on Earth. Right.

Yanni P has to take Chrissy D's foot and plug it into his mouth like a pacifier for 10 seconds. I'd say, let it burn. Let it burn, baby. Now, Bubs, let me ask you this, because we have, it's just physically. Talk to me, baby gorgeous. Because, yeah, listen to me, hon. Lieutenant Lollipop, I haven't seen you. I got lightheaded.

I'm about to pass out. Yeah. Lieutenant Lollipop. Lieutenant Lollipop. Did you prepare that or it came out? No, no. It just came out. Is that a good one?

It's a good one, yeah. Yeah. Keeper? Lieutenant Lollipop. That's the next t-shirt. Lieutenant Lollipop. Lieutenant Lollipop. Yeah.

Listen to me, guy. Yeah. I mean, guys, it's like one of those things where I'm like, I'm like, Bubba's. I mean, what have you been doing? Our set looks like Andrew Schultz's flagrant, too. Look, Andrew Schultz's studio just looks like he's shooting in the lobby of a West Elm. Yeah, yeah, he just looks... This is just my living room, so, yeah.

What were you saying, cuz? No, cuz, I just, I, like, you know, because you've been all the way up in New Hampshire and the city, New York City's been on fire. I mean, how has it been being up, being like a suburb guy now, suburban guy? It's been really, it's been really eye-opening to, we just did an episode recently on Stockholm Syndrome and I have realized, I love this city. We had a good run. Right.

You start from the Clinton tech boom from about the mid-90s till 2020. Right. You know, you can't ask for more than 25 years. We were the safest big city in America. You know, P. Diddy started. It was back. It started with P. Diddy and Mace. Right.

Everybody went to the club. Latrell Sprewell was in there. Right. Everyone loved Latrell Sprewell. He was going to save the Knicks. And then nobody ever saved the Knicks. Right. But we were just too happy.

I mean, Madison Square Garden, this is how much of a boom New York has been. The Knicks have had a losing team for 25 years. And it sold the fuck out. And it started there. And here we are. We're headed back. We're headed back to Ed Koch, New York. Where there's just going to be no more cops.

Someone's going to show up at your door and say, this is your new community care bearer. Yeah. And he's here to ask, is everyone okay? And what's going on? And what are the reasons you committed the crime? Can I talk to you for a second? And can I recommend you talk to my senior care bearer? No, but honestly, this is like just a question because, you know, it's a podcast to talk about it.

But like Muffin Man, what I don't understand is, is I understand that Minneapolis has defunded their police department and they want to disband it. They're going to. But what does that mean though? Because I understand the reasons why, or I think I understand the reasons why

are the police brutality and I get it. But the citizens of Minneapolis, like what happens if there is something that the community needs, like a dispute or somebody's being attacked, who do they call? the citizens of Minneapolis, what happens if there is something that the community needs, like a dispute or somebody's being attacked, who do they call? Because... She shows up.

She shows up at the door. And that's it. And that's it. It's a private sub. No, I just... We're probably going to have to bleep that. We'll bleep that, yeah. Just bleep the name.

But who... So like, who... So like, I'm just... Because But who, but so like who, so like I'm just, because that's the only thing I'm not even, I'm just trying to figure out like, if that happens in that city, like how long do you test it? Like what if people get killed? Because I know people get killed, then the black community will say,

well, innocent black people are getting killed by the police and I understand that. But like, I just don't, I'm just trying to understand it. And it's hard even as a white guy to even start to go down it. I don't even know what I'm allowed to say. I just fucking love people. I love every race. And it's like,

but I don't know if I asked that question. I mean, what am I supposed to say here? What you're supposed to say, what you're supposed to do is if you see a black person in the street and they ask you to kneel, you fucking kneel. Yeah, because Nancy Pelosi

and the Democrats kneel today with dashikis on. And I just want to see Nancy Pelosi get up. Have we not? Because she kneeled three hours on. And I just want to see Nancy Pelosi get up. Have we not? Because she kneeled three hours ago. And I just want to know if she's gotten up. How she made it to the Senate floor. Do you know even black people probably watch that and were just like dying, laughing, trolling it, going like,

this is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in full African dashikis kneeling down. Yeah. I mean, can you get more obsequious? Can you get more pandering than that? I mean, it's hilarious. They're fucking lying about it. And that's the thing.

Like, for me, I've been doing on my Instagram, and it's still on there, and we've talked about this. I've been donating money to the Black Economic Alliance because to me the the black people that I've spoken otherwise known as flagrant two fans yeah flagrant two fans yeah yeah doctor yeah or dr. Harvey Spencer the greatest dentist from Rockland South Carolina so so but like putting money into the black community from an early start is what seems to get the best results we're like somebody like in the Senate like like Nancy Pelosi and all them, it's like the democratic cities are the ones that are on fire and having the police brutality issues. So for me, it's like, are you really helping the,

are the Democrats really helping? Because you're the cities that have the big problems. Yeah, I don't know. You know, it's, all I know is just like, I'm not a racist kid. So whatever comes at me in the future, I just want to make my statement now. Hi, my name is Giannis Papas. I not a racist kid. So whatever comes at me in the future, I just wanna make my statement now. Hi, my name's Yiannis Papas.

I'm a Greek kid. My grandfather was a slave to the Turks. I'm just an innocent person who respects all communities. Yeah, same with me. My name's Christopher DiStefano. I am not a racist. I have a Puerto Rican baby's mama, now Puerto Rican wife. Like I said in a video before, I mean, I'm just, as Giannis has called me so many times, I'm Chrissy Undercovers,

Chrissy Secret Agents, Chrissy Flapjacks, because Chrissy Pancakes on both sides. I mean, I'm a, I got a Republican face, but I got the Democratic brain. You know, I got a lunch, I got a fat black girl's ass. I got an ass like a black girl. You know, I got a basketball scholarship. I mean, I'm a black kid. You know, I'm just like literally a black kid. I hate. Because when you dress up for dinner, you put on a basketball jersey. Yeah.

Or a hockey jersey. You're a black teenager. Yeah, I'm black. You get a fade. I got ones on right now. I got my warrior shirt. It's like, also the thing is too, like being from New York City, it's like, I've been saying this all along.

It's very, very hard. I would, I would argue, especially if you're a kid taking the subway and the buses, like we were being really like out of borough kids, like Brooklyn kids. It's hard to be racist because the person that you don't like, you're going to see on the train in five minutes. Yeah. So it gets really complicated to hate somebody. So that's why when I see these things happening and when I see what's going on in our country, I'm like, Bubbas, I mean, where the fuck,

how can you hate somebody for the color of their skin? I never understood it because it's a hard thing to understand when you're from New York. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

Hey, look, I don't know what the world's going to look like after this, you know, and to answer your question, what abolish the cops means or defund the cops, I think it means different things

to different people in different places. There's a lot of people who think hey you know what we're gonna do is just take away some of the funding and reallocate it for education social workers and those are people I like to call naive right those are the ones who go out there and actually have common sense and stuff like that who don't know that there's the the the squeaky wheel always gets the grease yeah so there's the the radical

crazy ones are the ones who make happen and those people want to abolish the cops yeah the mayor of minnesota walked i mean not minnesota minneapolis that was one of the funniest things it was like a scene it was like watching a scene from uh game of thrones yeah when he walked up and he was like okay all we want to know is do you want to abolish the cops? And he was all these people there after he said like, I understand your struggle. He got the police officers arrested.

He was a hero. He was here and he went to the protest and he's like, guys, I love you. We need to make changes, structural problems. We've got systematic racism.

I mean, he was hitting all the points. He was hitting all those reelection points to his constituents because make no mistake, he's the mayor and that's the fucking reason he was there

For the votes Because a kid who becomes mayor wants to be mayor And so he hit all the points And in his head he's going I got it I got this Fucking liberal fucking Jesus baby they love me And then they go okay We need you to get rid of the cops And you saw he had his mascot

If he didn't have his mascot you probably would have seen this He goes I know if I say this you saw he had his mascot if he didn't have his mascot you probably would have seen this he goes he goes I know if I say this every single white person who voted for me is going to go you're not getting our vote

so he just said I can't you know he wanted to figure out a way to because they were going yes or no he tried to squiggle out of it

and she said give me a yes or no answer he went no he said no we can't we can't get rid of the cops. And then they said, get the fuck out of here.

They booed him off. And he walked through like Cersei doing the Walk of Shame. Yeah. While they just were saying, get the fuck out of here. I mean, what? Are we living in a full-blown HBO show? It's one of those things where it's like he was a hero a week ago because he gave out the cops, arrested, which rightfully showed that all those guys should be in prison for what they did to George Floyd.

It's horrible. And, and then, and then, you know, they, he says he doesn't want to defund the police because I'm, he's trying to think of it as, I want, I don't want the city to come into, I want, there needs to be some people, we need to get better cops is what he's probably thinking. It's like retrain the police, get better police. But to say no police seems like a little bit of like, whoa, that's a major step the other way that could cause more problems. And he gets booed off. But I agree with you 100% what you're saying. Any politician

now from Governor Cuomo to Trump to the mayor of Minneapolis to anybody in public office, I don't believe for a fucking second they want to help the people. I just believe that they want to help themselves and say whatever pandering thing they want to say. I personally now, I only want to listen to the climate scientists about what's going on with the world. And I only want to listen to activists from the certain communities that are being affected by any type of dispute they're having. I want to listen to them. As far as every other politician or anybody on CNN to Fox News to MSNBC, I don't want to hear a fucking word from you. Give the microphone to the professionals

and that's it, Bubba. Or you know what you could do. Shut up and take your shirt off. Yeah, I mean, I understand the anger. I understand right now it's a very angry time in Minneapolis. To watch that online, on Facebook, whatever, to watch the slow murder of a person,

it causes a lot of enrage. So I understand people are enraged. I do, however, agree. I think that abolishing the cops is a little extreme, but I understand where the emotion is. But in Minnesota, in Minneapolis, is Minneapolis in Minnesota? Minneapolis is in Minnesota.

Okay, good. I just wanted to make sure because I don't care about, I've never thought about Minneapolis and I don't care. You could be in Chicago. I don't care about you. I'm never, ever leaving where I live now. We've both,

we've both pulled the mics out. We're so excited to be a person. We've pulled our own mics out two or three times. Yeah, two or three times. And then we're like, here's trying this, but we're like,

hey, can we say this? Can we not say this? I don't know what to say because the truth is, it's like, I'm not a racist. I lead with love. But I don't know. Are you allowed to joke about shit anymore? I, I'm not a racist, I lead with love, but I don't know, are you allowed to joke

about shit anymore? I don't fucking know. Yeah, I mean, here's the deal. We're gonna just continue to be us, we lead with love. Because I gotta be honest with you, there's dollar stores, like most people go to dollar stores, but with these artifacts, you go to a store called the $3 store because you are a fudgy yoga,

you're fucking gay! Happy Pride Month, I mean, because you're gay, gay, gay kid. $3. And where that comes from, if you're new to the show, is Giannis' father, the late great Chris Pappas, who is dancing his ass off right now in the gay part of heaven with assless chaps on. He said

in the Korean War, they would say you're as queer as a $3 bill. So we just say gays are our $3 bills and shout out all our gay fans and gay friends of the show Mateo Lane uh Joey Comaster James Debo it's don't forget about all our trans fans we are the number one trans podcast yeah I mean it's a new world it's a new world out here but we're gonna have the same approach which is we lead with love we try to be funny we love that our podcast fans are diverse, and one of the silver linings for comedy in this may be

that the sensitivity might have adjusted, because I think white women are on the hot seat now. Welcome to the rotisserie, bitches. It's your turn, Karen. So I think we may be able to get away with saying a lot more shit about women and other minorities. I think you just got to stay clear of the African-American community. That's where the sensitivity is right now.

Understandably so. But make no mistake, it's free game for the Eastern Hamies and Sandra Dees. It's not true. There's no sensitivity on those right now. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean, it's just one of these things where it's... Because make no mistake, one of those cops was an Eastern Hamie. He was now. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean, it's just one of these things where... Because make no mistake, one of those cops was an Eastern handmaid. He was and yeah, I mean, those cops,

I mean, what do you think? All those cops are going to, they should all do life, right? I mean, what are we saying? I mean, you need police reform. You need something. You can't, that can't happen. Yeah. That can't happen. We've talked about it on other podcasts, so I don't want to beat a dead horse, but it's like, I think everyone's in agreement that was so hard to watch and also that happening at the same time as uh uh ahmad amir

what was his name uh arberry arberry when they when they when they that that kind of looked like an old school lynching that was horrible brutal those guys and then you had the funny one the funny one was the black bird watcher and karen but you know that cooper's yeah because he even forgave her the kid i, the kid is a Yale, he's a Yale birdwatching kid who said, I will forgive her as long as she leashes up her dog.

The kid sounds like he's on the spectrum and I appreciate it. I appreciate it. No, and it's, what's crazy about that Amy Cooper and Christian Cooper, the birdwatching case is that Amy Cooper gets fired.

So, okay. Then the New York Post and these other news outlets start to run stories about Amy Cooper's boss, so okay, then the New York Post and these other news outlets start to run stories about Amy Cooper's boss who beat his wife 10 years ago, and then he got fired. He has nothing to do with it. It's a domino effect of canceling. Cancel culture is back.

That means America's wide open for business. And speaking of dominoes, let's go to China. Today we're talking about Tiananmen Square. I mean, these are not the Square I mean These are not the first Prank protests These are not the first Riots in history Yeah turn your phone off

Who is it Your wife I don't know who the fuck it is I don't know who it is Yeah it's somebody Who fucking got y'all These numbers Prank calling them

Yeah I mean who is it I don't know But I gotta pull up notes too Yeah so okay So 1989 From April How old were you in 89

89 I was 5 years old You were 5 89? 89, I was five years old. You were five years old in 89? I was five years old. I was jerking off to April from Ninja Turtles. Now, was that pre or post FB? You know what I'm talking about? FB meaning Father Bill. No, Father Bill.

You were enlisted by a priest named Bill. Yeah, Father Bill came hopping into my skull about 1995. So this is the innocence. I had golden blonde hair and a mushroom haircut. This is when, yeah, this is when I was wearing light up Keds. Now what turned you, what actually created the $3

that got pushed across that counter? Yeah. Was it the Father Bill incident or was it the Mahanahan that counter yeah was it the father bill incident or was it the manahan brothers i was in a combination of both that when it got handed to you ended up being three you know this guy this guy's under a lot of was that a buck 50 plus a dollar 50 this guy's under a lot of heat right now too for some of the things he said in the past but he is he i do like uh his one of the most famous movies a man by the name of Mark Wahlberg and it's called the perfect storm and I think

what you just described is was the perfect storm yes is I got it's the McKenzie brothers were coming from the east and father bill is coming for the West and then they just met in my tonsils so it's just what it is the basically father bill and the Mahanahan brothers were basically the Russians and the United States against the Germans in World War II. One took the Eastern Front. One took the Western Front. And they squeezed you into one straight freaking stone cold $3 bill. I came out $3.

I came out three strands, $3 bills, and that's it. Yeah, so in 1989, that's where I was at. So Tiananmen Square. Things are about to pop off in Tiananmen Square. Now listen, as you know, we're fucking doing the best we can here, okay? Some of the names of these Chinese kids, it's just hard for us to say,

I'm trying to do the best I can, but some of these names, we just don't know. Yeah, I mean, you would have thought history teachers in America would have done what a lot of Asian kids do in America, which is they have an Asian name, a Chinese name, a Mandarin name, and then they just in school they're called Steve.

So it's like, if we could just figure out an American name for this cat, because his name was Hu Hong Hong? His name is Hu Yu Ben. So it sounds like my baby's mom had texted me you know, that's what it sounds like my baby's mom had texted me, you know. Yeah.

Yeah. That's what it sounds like. It says, who you, the kid's name is Hu Yaobang. Yeah. No, it's Hu Yaobang. But basically Hu Yaobang died and this set off, as we know, Chinese, they're communist kids. They're fucking communist kids. But these, the protesters of 1989 and for years before this, they had a real thirst for democracy. The kids wanted democracy, and Who You Bang was a kid who was all about that,

and then he passed away, and these protests start to come out. Yeah, Who You Bang, he was the leader of the Communist Party, but he was seen by the students and a lot of the workers as someone who was very moderate, very liberal, someone who was open to- Democratic reform. Democratic reform. He was working for it. And capitalism reform.

Right, right. So he wanted, he basically, because a lot of people look at Mao Zedong, because when Mao Zedong came into power in like the late 1940s, he was looked at as this guy that's breaking China away from this imperialist- He was kind of the AOC of his day.

He was the AOC. We're headed there now. So this is not a new story. And just buckle up. Yeah. The roller coaster's going downtown. Yeah. So everybody, when Mao Zedong came into power,

they were like, oh my god, we're safe. We're not going to be imperialists anymore. The emperor is gone. No more oppression. No more oppression. No more rule. And then everyone goes into a pogrom. then he just said listen i have a little thing i like to call communism yeah and it's coming your way communism yeah communism's coming your way

and um and they dealt with that for a long time and the thing is a lot of people now they want to talk about socialism and communism and how it just doesn't work. Okay? People get put into camps real quick. It's million... The funny thing, I think the reason why... And I don't know if I've ever heard this anywhere. But I think the reason why it's still appealing to young people... It'll always be because it's very utopian, right? To each according to his need.

Right. But I think the reason it continues to have such appeal... Right. Is because the actual communist countries are so closed by their very nature that you never really know the exact number of people that were killed because they're so good at covering it up. So it seems like it's great. Whereas with Hitler's atrocities, we know. We saw the bodies. We saw the photographs. You'll never get into North Korea and see what's going on over there. No, I mean Kim Jong-un is dead. The kids and he's been

dead for about two months now and we're just sort of like maybe is, maybe is. I mean the kid is fully dead. Yeah, I mean the things that Fidel Castro did, the things that Che Guevara did, they were utopian kids. They were saying the same things some of these radical left or left, whatever you want to see them as, are saying now. For the workers, stop oppression, for all, everything for all, free education, free... These are all things that they were saying. That's what Che was... Get rid of the foreign influences, the hegemony, all this stuff, power to the people.

And then on the other side, they were just murdering people because it's my opinion that when you elevate society or a cause over the individual, it's just a matter of time before you look the other way when the individual gets abused and you become what you hate. A hundred percent, a hundred percent. So all these things were bubbling up

even since the Mao Zedong times as time was going on the intellectuals were starting to feel a little oppressed by all these things. So Hu Yubing dies and he dies

April 15th, 1989. And then the day after the Chinese government has a funeral for him but they make it quick. They're like, you know what? Because they can already sense

the leaders at that time. They can sense there was a guy named Daojie Ping. Your guess is as good as mine. Yeah, Dow Jones. I'm just going to call him Jeremy Ling. Yeah, Daojie Ping, who was high up in the party,

they could sense that this who you bang stuff was going to get bad because the students, you know, the liveliness of, and that's what's happening now. A lot of the protesters, they're young kids. They're young, they're full of life. When you're in your 30s and 40s, I don't care what side.

It's like the people who want reform and all that. It's like we just don't have the energy to do it. It's like I want to get out there and do it. But it's like our boy Sergio Chacon is out there protesting every day. And shout out Sergio Chacon. Go follow him on Instagram. Great friend of the show. But I mean, the kid runs 10 miles a day.

He's got to run 10 miles a day just to have the energy to protest. I mean, I want to take a nap because I ate two slices of pizza. I want change, but I'm tired. I can't get out there. Yeah, it's tough, especially when you got a kid. So there were conservative elements in the Communist Party that wanted this to go quickly because the Communist Party wasn't uniform. He was more on the left side of the party, I guess, if you will, more liberal.

And then there was conservative elements. Right. So 100,000 pro-democracy protesters, mostly students, gathered at Beijing's Tiananmen Square. And Tiananmen Square, what it means, it was the heavenly gate. And what it used to mean was, that's what it translates into, was Mao Zedong named it that because it was like,

China was like this forbidden land, and he kind of abolished all that, was like, no, the emperor's, I'm gonna come out and speak to you, I'm your leader. So Tiananmen Square is like this kind of symbolic place. Like the people's square, right? Right. The people's square, the people's heavenly gate kind of thing. So it was this symbolic place. Protests happen there all the time. It's been actually this year because of coronavirus is the first time in a long time, there's not going to be protests in Tiananmen Square.

Right. Yeah. They usually gather there. And a lot of times on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square, 89, they gather there. But if you were to make Tiananmen Square, if you were trying to draw an analogy with New York City, it's kind of like the Union Square of your day. So, you could probably expect to go there and see like some kids break dancing or you know, somebody, fart man running around going, pfft. You know that guy? Yeah, fart man. Do you think at the edges of Tiananmen Square, there are people selling their DVDs for $5? I think it's probable. It's probable.

It's probable, yeah. I mean, you can probably get a hot dog there, and it's actually a real hot dog. Yeah, it probably is. It's probably just a poodle and a bun. Yeah, no, it's probably. Are we going to get canceled? I think Chinese jokes are okay, I think. Yeah, are Chinese jokes okay?

I mean, because make no mistake, I mean, they did eat a bunch of bats and shut down the world for a little while. So let's just not lose sight of that. But it's okay. We're just kidding around, of course. We're just living in a crazy world because, I mean, you know. As always, History Hyenas is proudly brought to you by Manscaped at manscaped.com.

I'm telling you that if anybody gets mad on Twitter or social media, I don't trust that it's a human being at all. I trust that it's a Russian bot 100 percent. Because when I went to the protests, it's all been peaceful people.

They've been peaceful, lighthearted people that are trying to get change. And, of course, they're angry. But they're level-headed, normal people from all spectrums of the world. They're level-headed, flagrant to Patreon fans. It's what it is. They're flagrant. You can go to patreon.com slash Bay Ridge Boys.

I mean, whatever you want to do. Yeah, we'll fucking castrate a white guy. We just need the numbers. Whatever you want us to do. If you want to join our new $300 level, we will castrate a white guy live on air. So it's just, we'll make a white guy a eunuch, whatever you guys want. But my point is that they're very peaceful.

It's only when you get online does it really start to get extremely hateful. And I'm telling you, I believe that it's Russian bots. I know you may be like, you're fucking crazy. They don't have any followers. They have an egg picture. It's a Russian bot. No, that's a known thing. That is a known thing that there's tons of Russian bots.

A lot of these fan pages were started by foreign elements, Russians, Chinese. I mean, they're out there and they're laughing at us and they're having a good time. That's what it is. They're sowing discord. It's part of what they want to do. Yeah. And then also, so what happens is Tiananmen Square, you know, Hu Yaobang dies. And then the next day, student representatives, they carried a petition to the steps of the Great Hall.

And they demanded to meet with Premier, who was like the president, Li Peng. His name is Li Peng. And the government refused the meeting. So that's the problem here is what oftentimes like all the government has to do is make a simple gesture. Even if they just took the petition and ripped it up or wiped their asses with it as soon as they got inside. If they would have taken it, things would have remained peaceful. But it's like these egotistical, psychopathic people in high branches of government in whatever country constantly make the wrong choices. Yeah. And you have to remember at this time, Gorbachev was in charge of Russia.

Because did Gorbachev ever get his birthmark looked at? Because that looked cancerous. It did. I don't know. I think the kid, it was a skin tag, maybe. Did he have fucking warts on his head? He might have, but that thing was there. I mean, Gorbachev, he eased a lot. What was it called? The periostroka. We'll do an episode on him.

But he was the one who started opening up markets in Russia. He started. So I guess the P.O. What was his name again? The premier, his name was Li Pei. No, the guy who died. Hu markets in Russia. So I guess the P.Y. What was his name again? The premier, his name was Li Peng. No, the guy who died. Hu Yubeng. So Hu Yubeng. Hu Yubeng.

In a lot of ways, he was, I think, kind of like the Gorbachev of China, who was open to the idea of opening up some markets and some democratic reform. And eventually we'll get to it. But Gorbachev goes and wants to meet with Premier Li Peng. And it was the first time in 40 plus years that a Russian leader had been in China and the protesters fucked it up and they had to meet in the airport. So we'll get to that point, but that really is what kind of sparks the inevitable violence because Gorbachev, the Chinese government was embarrassed. But what happens is, is what the issue was, because I had heard of Tiananmen Square. I knew loosely what happened,

but I didn't know really why the students were upset and why the people were upset. And the reason was, is they were frustrated with the limits on political freedom and ongoing economic troubles and the education system.

It didn't act adequate. Are we good? Oh yeah, sorry. It did not adequately prepare them for an economic system with elements of the free market capitalism. So all the students wanted was basically to have a chance to go out and buy Nike shoes, to have a chance to have a family and kind of do what you want. They didn't want to, they understood that the communism thing was like, they weren't going to get, they looked at what the Westerners were doing and were like, this capitalism thing looks pretty good to us.

Yeah. They just wanted to buy a pair of Starberries. I mean, the kid is a star in China. Because, I mean, let me ask you a question. And he looks like an Eastern Hemi a little bit. He does look like an Eastern Hemi a little bit. Let me ask you this. Right now, China is communist.

I understand that they're communist, but it seems like they're capitalist. So are they somewhere in between? They are somewhere in between. What they did was they made some market reforms. The thing that they do is the government kind of controls everything, regulates everything. Like they can't see this episode in China

because the government won't allow it. I don't know. That's a good question. No, they won't. Even with Tiananmen Square, they won't let the Chinese, a lot of the Chinese people don't really have, never really seen the footage.

They don't really know much about it because the internet is, you can't look it up in china that would be hilarious if we just became huge in china i mean imagine we're the in china we won't know until we take a flight there yeah it was like matt pavich and his buddy who i love i just his name james um james something yeah they did they're good kids they're hilarious did that song coincidence hi you can really dance yeah no you can really dance he goes boom boom boom that thing is now first of all it's like a tiktok phenomenon right it became like the most viral

tiktok thing but before that somehow it went super viral in china and the kids went over to china and they're superstars over they were going there and people were going like wow you can really dance and there was like fans of chinese people around them taking pictures of them like they were Dennis Rodman. And then they came back to Brooklyn and they just did a show at the Grizzly Bear. Yeah. They just cut, they got off the plane at JFK and they said, get in this fucking dollar man. I mean, that video, yeah, that video just took off in China. Yeah. So maybe there's certain parts of China that they can watch things.

So the Chinese government, they instituted reforms in the 1980s and established like this limited form of capitalism in the country. So I guess from the 1980s, they had this limited form of capitalism, which is now getting wider. But that's the thing is what you see is if you're going to go communist, you better go pure fucking communist. Because if you even just a little bit of the capitalism, the people want it because it seems fair. It's like you work hard, you get things. You work for your money, you can have what you want. I don't think that there should be billionaires. I'm on that.

It's like you can't have multi, multi billionaires and then people starving. But it also can't be like because some people just don't want to work hard. It's like, so I got to work twice as hard now for you to be lazy. No, Bubba's, I can't do it. That's a Ridgewood statement. Yeah, that was a was a virgin statement but then you said there's no billionaires i i thought my co-host was ted alexandro for a second yeah so you you are a mixed bag i'm a mixed bag that was the most like far left and far right statement all at once because only you could do that yeah and in the same breath you said you need to go capitalist because it makes a lot of sense

and also there should be no billionaires yeah so i don't know who i'm talking to i believe there should be billionaires but i also believe they shouldn't be able to fucking hide their money in the in the in the philippines or cyprus and not pay taxes yeah but monkey so if you're a billionaire you gotta pay fucking taxes maybe a little more taxes but to say there shouldn't be billionaires i mean what do you think the motivation is for Jeff Bezos to make Amazon so dope? Listen to me, Stinky Pinky. What I'm trying to tell you... Listen to me, Lieutenant Lollipop. Lieutenant Lollipop, okay? You fucking Sergeant Starburst.

Listen to me. Lieutenant Lollipop is... Is it 10? Should we make a t-shirt? Lieutenant Lollipop? Yeah, I mean, you gotta save that for a fucking KO on No Nets, which we're not gonna do anymore because Chris is overworked. I'm overworked! We will go, you know, with patreon.com slash because Chris is overworked. I'm overworked. Lieutenant Lyle.

No, we will go, you know, patreon.com slash Bay Ridge Boys. We'll do some no net shows. Because we're never, people are going to always love us because you're just a lovable ball of fucking FF.

Yeah, I'm just a fucking FF ball. And yeah, I, what I'm saying is, is that I think, of course there should be billionaires, but I think like there should be something where like once a year or something, their tax money, I don't fucking know, but there can't be people who have billions of dollars and then people who are dying from starvation.

It can't happen. Well, you can't do that, yeah. But yeah, Ted Alexander, I've had enough of your fucking Facebook. I would love if we just got to a point, we're living in such an era where, I mean, people just like, Twitter has come to life. It's like, it's possessed people and now come to life. Because that's what Twitter is. Twitter is just like everyone acting like a petulant child who wants attention and they're just easily offended

and they attack you like if they troll you. And then if you fire back, they run away and cry like a, you know a child punches you in the head and then you turn around and punch him back and then he just cries to his parents? Yeah. It's like that's what Twitter, the world, I think Twitter has possessed us. Right.

And now it's come to life. Guys, now listen. When I saw this thing that happened in the midst of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, when I found this little tidbit, I said Yanni was there and he didn't tell me. They made a 33-foot statue during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests made of paper mache and metal armature. And they called it the goddess of democracy. And that's what I've been calling you behind your back for years, is the goddess of democracy. And I said, Yanni fucking was there.

Now, were you there? Did you make the goddess of democracy? I didn't make it. Because that's what it was called. I didn't make the goddess of democracy. the goddess of democracy? I didn't make... Because that's what it was called. I didn't make

the goddess of democracy, but I do think it's appropriate that the Chinese protesters in China made a duplicate of the Statue of Liberty and it was a piece of shit that would fall apart

in 10 seconds. Yeah. Just like some of the other plastic shit that would get made in China. Because let's be honest, that goddess of democracy was made out of paper mache

and cigarette butts. Those kids like to smoke. They like to fucking squat down and smoke cigs. Does anybody have better hip flexibility than Major League Baseball catchers and Chinese workers? I mean, if you're a Chinese guy working in the back of a Chinese food restaurant,

your hip flexibility, I mean, that kid's asshole hovers an inch off the floor 24 hours a day. Because whenever a Chinese guy goes on break, I mean, he just goes, I mean, it's just right down. I mean, it's just right here with a sink. Why aren't there more Chinese catchers?

Because every single time, every single time I see a Chinese guy on the floor smoking a cigarette, if he puts a finger down, I'm throwing a fastball. Because I like the vibe in here with homeless pimp because the kid laughs and has a sense of humor.

Yeah. What fell? What was that? I don of humor. Yeah. What fell? What was that? I don't know. Was that the door? It sounded upstairs. Oh, it sounded like it. Oh, it sounded upstairs.

Well, these people are just going to have to get used to it because this is our new studio. And we're back. Yeah. Yeah, so, Okaz, let me ask you

the question. So on May 20th, the government, on May 20th, 1989, in China, the government formally declared martial law in Beijing. By the way, Tiananmen Square is in Beijing. I don't know if we mentioned it, but they're in Beijing.

And troops and tanks were called in to disperse the dissidents. Martial law means what? The army rules. Like when de Blasio put us under curfew last week, were we under martial law? Which, by the way, de Blasio, who's the mayor of New York City, I know you want to take a billion dollars away from the police, and that's fine because I understand you're under pressure and whatever, but where's the $538 million your wife lost?

That's just what I really want to know because we could use a little bit of that money to go back to the police. I don't know if we have to edit that out. I haven't read that article yet. Yeah, no, his wife misplaced $538 million. And she's like, whoopsie. Yeah, we've have to edit that out. I haven't read that article yet. Yeah, no, his wife misplaced $538 million. And she's like, whoopsie. We've got to find that out. Okay, martial law is when a black guy named Marshall comes out and just goes,

all right, everybody, here's the deal. This is the new law. Everybody stay inside. Yeah, that's what it is. That's what I think, right? That's what it was named after a black guy named Marshall who walked out in the middle and said- Marshall's a white guy name. I feel like Marshall-

Marshall's one of those- Marshall could go 50. Marshall's like Nigel. It can go 50-50. There's a lot of black Nigels and a lot of white Nigels. There's a lot of black Marshals and a lot of white Marshals. But what does it mean, martial law? It just means you have no-

It means the army comes in and declares martial law they take over they just take over so that's what so that's what happened on may 20th the army just rolled in and the protesters they talked it's interesting because the army came in and on may 20th and the protesters were just talking to the army being like you're our country men and women we don't we're not violent we just want to have a chance at democracy here and the soldiers left the soldiers left. The soldiers went against some of the general's orders or whatever they call them. They went against General Tso's orders. General Tso's, yeah. General Tso's, and they left. Am I allowed to say that?

I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I love General Tso's chicken. I think we got the green light. I think it's green light for the Eastern Hemis right now. I don't know. I mean, these are all jokes. That's what's so funny about this dumb era is like, it's just jokes. But I mean, you know, General So, I mean, that's just a low hanging fruit that you had to, that was like when you go to a T-ball

and you put it on there and you just got to put it out. You just got to put it out. So they went against him and the soldiers actually left. And then the army withdrew finally on May 24th. And then,

hold on, wait, stop one second. The army withdrew finally on May 24th. And then, hold on, wait, stop one second. The army withdrew and then- Well, but yeah, the thing is, this protest lasted for a little while. It lasted for a little while. At first it was students, then the workers joined the students. It grew.

They wanted to speak to the head guy, the new guy who was more of on the, what's his name again? The new president, new premier? The new president was Li Peng, who's gonna be, we're gonna get to in a second, who's gonna be known in a second as the butcher of Beijing.

So this kid's bruised. All right, so they wanted to talk to Li Peng. At first, Li Peng said no, but then eventually they do sit down in a televised kind of debate that didn't really go well. They started yelling at each other and it was very contentious and it kind of made things worse.

It made things a lot worse. But these protests just kept continuing and they also started to spread to other cities in China. Watch this documentary if you guys are really interested in this episode. It's called The Gate of Heavenly Peace. It's a three hour documentary on this Tiananmen Square stuff and it's very interesting. But on June 4th, so June 4th is a big, big day in Chinese history

because what happens is, is a Li Peng known as the Butcher of Beijing, he wanted to just get Tiananmen back, get Tiananmen Square back. He just had enough. Gorbachev had come in May 15th. Gorbachev, 1989, had come in and they were supposed to have the meeting in Tiananmen Square,

the symbolic place in Beijing for hundreds of years, and they couldn't because the protesters would not leave, so they had to do it at the airport. That embarrassed the Chinese government, so now they're fucking pissed off, and they say at 1 a.m. on June 4th, Chinese soldiers and police storm Tiananmen Square, firing live rounds into the crowd.

That's when it started. Yeah. That's when it started, yeah. The protesters actually planned it. They knew Gorbachev was coming, and they thought that would be a perfect time to get a lot of international attention. Yes.

Because this is a communist country. This is before cell phone cameras. Right. You're not, reporters aren't allowed to film anything. That's the thing, there's such little footage from this. Right. And that's what's so crazy, to think about how much the iPhone has changed the world.

Changed everything. Because, and leader, by the way, when they fired into the crowd, even their allies, like Russia being a communist ally, Gorbachev condemned this military action and said what they were doing was horrible. And it actually led to big problems. And Tiananmen Square connects directly

to some of the problems we've had today, even though the media makes it look like at times it's repaired, it's really not. Because of that Tiananmen Square massacre, the United States voted to impose the economic sanctions against China and it decreased their economy. And there's still problems from that today. So there's some of those sanctions that we have on China are still, there's certain things where we're like, you know, we don't fuck with you because of that,

because they really showed what they're willing to do. Because as Yana said, the Chinese media came out and said a couple of hundred people died. Some people think there's estimates of 10,000 protesters. They fired live tank shells and AK-47s into a square that had a million protesters in it. Yeah, and that's the interesting thing. It wasn't a united front. You had this conservative part of the Communist Party, and then you had this wing that was a little more open. What happened to that wing that was a little more open-minded

to these democratic reforms and a little more sympathetic to the protesters is after the massacre at Timon and Square, they disappeared. That's what happens in China. Those guys who were on the more open-minded wing of the Communist Party, they just don't.

They're not. Yeah, that's like the first Chinese doctor that came out and said, hey, I think coronavirus is a little bit of a problem. He just went bye-bye. Yeah, they just don't. They're not. Yeah, that's like the first, like the Chinese doctor that came out and said, hey, I think coronavirus is a little bit of a problem. He just went bye-bye. Yeah, they just are gone. I mean, they just were gone after that because that's what you can do in a communist country because it's closed.

So one of the most famous things about Tiananmen Square and what a lot of people, the footage that a lot of people have seen is on June 5th, something happened. They got a man called Tank Man. They called him Tank Man. And this kid, nobody knows his name. Yeah yeah his name was tank sinatra tank sinatra yeah tank sinatra go follow tank sinatra uh he's once he stopped giving us 500 a month on patreon we said you tank sinatra let me just give you let me just say something to you you had the popular

you had the popular instagram page okay and then the idea was right there for you. The idea's right there. Hey, let me just turn this into a show called Tank's Good News. Yeah. And just, but you decided to do a podcast with Louis J. Gomez's studio. I mean, if there's a more Franks and Beans move, I don't know what it is. And then guess what? John Krasinski pranced right in, and

he made a show called Some Good News, and he walked away with about 10 mil from CBS Access. So I hope your house is nice in Smithtown, Tank, because you never leave. I'm kidding. We love you, George. We love you. And if you want to hear more Tank's podcast, what is it called? The Thinking Tank or whatever?

The Thinking Tank. I don't know where it is. Yeah, just go to gasdigital.com and join the paywall. Yeah, join the paywall. You can see an interview with me and Tank Sinatra. Or you can see little snippets of what we do with Tank Sinatra at patreon.com slash BayRidgeBoys. Love Tank. We love you.

What is it called? Taking the piss. We're taking the piss. We're kidding around. So Tank, man, he was a man that he basically stood in front of three rolling Chinese tanks and said, you're going to have to run over me. I'm not going to move. And the tanks tried to go around him.

He would move. Tried to go around him. He would move in front of him. And then finally the tanks went back. And it was like this kind of moment for the protesters that were like, wow, we beat back the military. And it was good for the Chinese government side because they were saying, we're showing the world we don't hurt our people. So it was all that bullshit, that communist, you know, bullshit that they want you to see. They said, oh, you know, we wouldn't run over

one of our own. But meanwhile, six hours later, they're going to shoot more shells into the crowds. I got actually a theory on this. I got actually a theory on this. I got a personal theory on this. Let's do it. This is an exclusive. You've never heard it anywhere before. Yeah. And this is a Yanni Longday's exclusive. Because you're entering into the Yanni zone. This is the Yanni Longday zone. Yeah, I mean, get ready. Just sit back

because here's the deal. There's virtually no other footage from the Tiananmen Square massacre because journalists were like completely purged and not allowed to be there. Whatever footage was there, if there was actually some foreign press there, very little footage made it out because it was all confiscated and people just kind of disappeared and went bye-bye. So I have a theory because this is one of the most famous images in history of the one guy standing in front of the tank.

I have a theory that, what's his name again? They just him tank man no no the president again oh lee peng lee paying the butcher of beijing the butcher of beijing he probably set it up where he put that guy there put that guy there and had the tank come made the tank cop for the photo wow yanni long days nobody's ever thought about that because it showed it showed that they would not run him over. And so they killed about 10,000 people because they fired into unarmed students. Just wonked and they just started firing and killing people. They said it was only like, officially it was like 22 people died. Yeah, right.

That's not how that works. Wow. It wasn't a fucking American shooting. It was the army. It wasn't some fucking crazy guy who didn't get laid in Charleston. It was the fucking army shooting. They killed more than 22 people. So they did that as a PR move, cuz.

Cuz, if you're- What happened was, is the butcher of Beijing called up Andrew Schultz and said, how can I spin this? Yeah. And he said, babe, I got an idea for you. And bang, that's what happened. That's what happened. Cuz, let me be crystal fucking clear.

you and bang that's what happened what happened cuz let me be crystal clear if you don't think that you just uncovered the communist plot and when you're driving home to your home when you're driving back to your house in new hampshire today you're not going to careen off the road because the chinese government's going to send a drone at your break pads you got another thing coming because cuz you're not making it home alive because you just found out the truth i mean that's a pretty good wow that is the theory i mean how, that's a pretty good theory. Wow. That is the theory. I mean, how is that not what happened? He just goes back into the crowd and nobody ever says it. He fucking was playing.

That might have been the butcher of Beijing himself. Yeah, and I love how that happened. And that footage somehow got out. And this is after they butchered everyone. And there's one dude standing in front of a tank. You know what happened to him. There was about 15 other guys that tried that.

Right. And they just became roadkill. So yeah, officially now in the aftermath of the news conference on June 6th, State Council spokesperson

Yoon Moo announced that based on preliminary statistics, 300 people died including soldiers. Survey says that's a lie. That's a fucking lie.

Yeah, I mean, there were some protesters that pulled, that pulled, like, soldiers out of their Jeeps and beat them to death. Of course, it was kind of like, you know,

that's what happens when you have riots and wars. I mean, just, you know, it was bad, but you know, one side's armed, one side's the military, and one side's students. And it's just wild that they don't have any footage of this at all. So you just, just like the thing, just like with the coronavirus, with China,

you're never gonna know. Yeah. You're just not gonna know. So listen, it it's brutal but i think the reason why i wanted was excited to do the tiananmen square the tiananmen protest today is because of all the protests going on in our countries protests do work they do like i know that eventually they didn't get i know that they didn't get um you know full democracy but but the communist government did bend a little bit, and they did introduce some of the things that you reason why you have

kind of a pseudo communist capitalist China is because of the Tiananmen Square protests. So they still got a victory. Yeah, they also had to do it if they wanted their country to have any sort of wealth and chance to survive. So they have like an interesting, by all means necessary mix, kind of the way, you know, Nazi Germany did,

not comparing the two, other than the fact that it was a kind of a mixed economy that was, you know, the government ran some things, there were some companies. It's a little mix. It's like, it's kind of like a mix,

but it's really all controlled by the government at the end of the day. Wuzzy wuzzy. And the fact that you uncover the tank man plot, and this is why we do the, this is why we need to fucking do this in person.

Cause you would have never been able to uncover that if we were over Zoom. Cause you would have uncovered it, but the wifi would have sucked and it would have went choppy and then we would have missed it. Yeah, and it was just nice, you know, having homeless here, homeless pimp,

the kid's just engaged and he's laughing. So it felt like we were doing a live show. It feels good. And it feels good to see you in person to remember that you're really you're really a real person i'm a real person i'm just a misshaped kid and make no mistake the kid homeless pimp he's insisting on wearing a mask because he went to a protest and he's not telling us so that's what he's doing it he's just that's the reason why venetia's not here because she put her story that she was at one yeah and my wife saw it and said she can't come. I'm just kidding. I'm just joking.

Well, the truth is I was at one too. There was one at Owl's Head Park yesterday and I was there with the baby. I mean, what can you do? How was it? The thing is, here's what it is. Here's what it is. Because I have a Puerto Rican family that I love very much. I love them.

If you want to get a good deal on fitness, check out my Instagram. So you can work out. Work out with the weather girl we'll call weather girl workouts if you want to know what that means patreon.com bay rich boys that's where a lot of the fun happens but um when you what the thing is when when you have a puerto rican family which i do there's a lot of time spent in a park so you're doing a lot of barbecue in the park you're doing a lot of sitting down in the parks you're in the parks a lot and that's a good place for the protest so i didn't mean to be at the not not that I didn't mean to, because I think the protests are a beautiful

thing. And it's, it's amazing to see that change is happening in our country, but we kind of just, a protest kind of just came on. But what's interesting about being a white guy in a Puerto Rican family now is that when the protest started coming, it was 3000 people beating drums and yelling. And I wasn't sure, is that a protest or just the rest of my girlfriend's family? So you just don't know which is which. It's like, is that, is that Pito coming or is that a protest with signs? You don't know because when that mini, when Pito pulls up in the minivan, you don't know how many people are popping out, but make no mistake, they're all welcome in my home. Chrissy Cumpleanos' home. And I told, if you're looking for a wedding hall in Bay Ridge,

I got a hallway that we could do weddings. Chrissy, cumpleaños. We got good rates. If you want to get married in my hallway, you could do it. Yeah. The story of protests and civil unrest and government crackdowns and revolutions is as old as humanity. The French Revolution, Tiananmen Square. Our country was founded by a revolt, the Russian Tea Party.

You know, it's the history hyenas. What's it called again? The British Tea Party? What? The Boston Tea revolt, the Russian Tea Party. You know, it's the history hyenas. What's it called again?
