Welcome to History. I ain't his mic. Get off your fucking phone. Venetia's putting new rules on the podcast. No phones. No going to the bathroom. And everybody get their shit straight.

Okay? So Giannis is not here. He's in Savannah, Georgia being an FF with his wife. So we got Sergio Chacon, AKA Serge Blizzy. Yeah. Yeah. Filling in for him.

Um, of course, Mikey emoji face, Zach ISIS. Everybody's here. I have on a Burton Ernie, um, sex shirt.

What is it? A Burton Ernie. It's like, um, it's an S and M Burton Ernie gay shirt. And I didn't realize Bert and Ernie, it's like an S&M Bert and Ernie gay shirt, and I didn't realize I had it on. So check the YouTube, historyhahinas.com

and check us on YouTube. You can see my Bert and Ernie gay shirt. We're going to talk about Lenny Bruce today because he's a controversial figure and comedy is controversial. So we're going to talk about him. But it's wild. I mean, mean there's no yanni's not here and it's interesting when yannis isn't here because i feel i'm just not angry

like when yannis is here that chrissy chaos you know nazi chrissy chrissy pre-comes it all comes out my jaw starts coming out because i i get mad at y Giannis because he just bothers me. The kid just bothers me because he's got a lot of problems, but he'll only talk about your problems. And it's like, Gianni, you're passing out on stage wherever you go. You better talk to a therapist. So instead we brought in Sergio Chacon, which is good because – You know my energy stayed positive 365, seven days a week. You know how I do.

I love this time of year. Small honey season. You got a little head. You look like a testicle. This is the best type of weather, man. It's crisp out there. Every breath I take feels like I took a hit. What's good about Sergio is when Giannis is here, when I'm starting to get tired,

there's nothing really for him to offer other than some fucking dumb Greek philosophy that he regurgitates. But when Sergio's here, he has cocaine to offer. So it's good. At the very least, a good cocaine story. No, I'm just kidding. Obviously, shout out Giannis, Mr. and Mrs. Poppister. You don't want to know anything about Giannis. I hate the hair on his tricep.

He got like a little patch of hair on his tricep. That's gross. Yeah. Right? Like just a random patch of hair. Yeah. Shave your tricep hair. Yeah, dude.

And he's got little button triceps. His triceps suck. Yo, they're whack. He always talks about mine. It's like, yo, you're whack. His tricep look like commerce. Giannis' ability. Okay.

So we've talked about this on the podcast. George Washington had the great ability to see things as they were, not as he wishes they would be. And that's who's George Washington's... That's why he was such a great leader. Giannis has the ability to see things as they not are.

He sees them as they not are, but he convinces himself that they are what they are in his head. So he'll just see a fucking Greek Adonis with no problems, and what he really is is an FF that's got a lot of problems. Yeah, he knows how to wear the right t-shirts, though. Yeah, yeah.

Because they'll hug his arms. Yeah. But, you know, the midsection is doughy. Doughy. He told me, he said he literally did one boxing session with you in like a bullshit hotel gym where you just did the pad work with him for like 30 minutes. He was like, yo, Serge said I'm a natural.

He said, I'm addicted. I'm addicted, bro. I'm addicted. And he hasn't been there one time in the last three months. I would love to knock Giannis' fucking peanut head off. Yo, you know the way he was hitting the pads? First of all, we didn't have pads, so he was forced to look at my nine and a half fingers like this.

Yo, the finger's disgusting. Yeah, it's kind of whack. But I still got the nails, so that's still fly. Yeah, gross. So he's doing it. He's like, yo, he had his Yankee hat got the nails, so that's still fly. Yeah, gross. So he's doing it, and he's like, yo, he had his Yankee hat to the back,

glasses mad crooked. Glasses mad foggy. Yo, his eyes are way too close together. It was hard for me to focus, man. I know, bro. That's what I think.

Yeah, he needs to get an eye separation surgery. Obviously, we're just joking. We love Giannis Papas, but it was just fun to come out and start swinging at him. Hard.

Hard. Because that's what he does to me. Yo, he sticks to the fences. That's why he, you know. Yeah. Whenever Sergio's here, everyone wants to talk like Sergio. I know. Well, it's contagious. I know. Yeah. I'm like, whack! Well, and I've been with him for like two hours. We boxed

today. Well, that's the thing. It's funny because I'll behave like Chris, like the occasion. Sometimes I'll do this shit. Yeah, yeah. Just man-fingity. Neck spasm. Yeah. It kind of softens. Yeah, yeah. And I sit there and go. Just man fidgety? Like, I get that next spasm. Yeah. It kind of softens things up.

I can say something brutal and they go. Yeah, yeah. And they're like, oh, okay. He's just a special needs child. It's kind of like the Wei Shan Qian button, but like, of cadence. Like, we talk shit about Giannis, but we obviously, we're just joking when we go like this. Like, if we just said it seriously and then, like, went to the Patreon, it's like, oh, wow. Why are they hating on Giannis?

But it's like, we're just kidding. But yeah, seriously, Giannis, get your life together. I'm kidding. No, Gianni Papi ain't here, but you know, tweet at him. Follow him on Instagram. Watch his special,

Blowing the Lights, doing big numbers. That was very Gianni. Yeah. Big numbers. Numbers. Yeah, big numbers um i went to the third avenue bay ridge festival yesterday i wish yanni was there to see what i fucking saw anybody who approached me yesterday at the bay ridge third avenue festival thank you i mean there's so many

a lot of love out there baby honestly if i'm being honest with you mad love like it was kind of crazy where i'm like yo this is like like the the police were like, what's going on? Why are people running up to you? And I was like, oh, I got like a Bay Ridge Boys YouTube thing and a podcast, and it's like heavy here. And they were like, yeah, it's like people are like, it's crazy. And I'm like, no, I know. It's like, thank you. And people, and for the people, let me just fucking say something to you right now.

I was with James Madden. Shout out James Madden. I love James Madden. No, it's like, thank, and people, and for the people, let me just fucking say something to you right now. I was with James Madden. Shout out James Madden. I love James Madden. For the people, when we were walking down that festival yelling, hey, Bert, from their seats, you guys are assholes because he left early. And fuck you guys. No, he didn't. What time did he leave?

I mean, I was there till like 8 p.m. So he left around 6.30? No, he left at like 3. 3? That's the middle of your day, cut in half. Bro, they were yelling, hey, Bert, from the window sills. Because it's a festival on 3rd Avenue. So they were like, hey, Bert. And I was just looking at him like, I don't hear anything.

What was his response, though? Physically, I want to know how his body reacted. You know how he is. He was just like. Did he have his headphones on? He put his headphones on, yeah. Like this? Yeah, with the headphones.

He moves around with the headphones like this. Yeah this? Yeah, with the headphones. He moves around with the headphones like this. Yeah, like that. That's the way he moves around. If I developed a James Madden doll, the accessories would include maybe a guitar,

but definitely the headset. Yeah, yeah. The headphones. But I like it because you embrace it. We'll be like, oh, Blizzy. Oh, man.

It's like, whatever, man. We've been at shows on the road and they blizzy yeah but that's good they're coming out to see you so i think so yeah so whatever so so people did that fucking don't do it anymore um but um but also yeah the people i mean i saw at least five different guidos with um j with the holes in Jesus' hand with each Twin Tower through the holes. And American flags wrapped around either the Twin Towers, Jesus' head, rosary beads. I would say there was at least,

if you counted up all the rosary beads that were tattooed on people's skin, you're looking at 100,000 rosary beads at that parade. If you counted them all up, I mean, there's the fuck. I mean guy came up to me he's like yo i'm a fuck you need me in your skits you need me yo coked out of his fucking mind aggressive i forgot about the neck nice kid but he was like i forgot his name but he was like you don't know i'm a fucking legend can't believe you never seen none of my videos guy like that and i was like wow this guy's for real like what me and yannis joke around about like this is a real life personified like it's crazy he's just saying how great he was and i was like what what's happening like what's fucking happening somebody had somebody had a like in on third avenue like

you're in the middle of the street have like a glass plate like eating a full burning hot lasagna while they're like walking through the parade i'm like go sit at a table or go home. Like we're in the public. People had Trump 2020 there was a guy selling Trump 2020 flags and gay pride flags, rainbow flags. Not the same person. No the same person.

Just trying to capitalize on what's popular. Somebody had Elizabeth Warren an Elizabeth Warren cardboard cutout and the other guy had a Trump 2020 flag. And when they met, it was so fucking crazy. Because Bay Ridge, it's like they voted for Trump. It's just what it is. They're Trump people.

So I gave these people credit, though, for just showing up with this Elizabeth Warren shit in the middle of a Republican town. And it was funny how the Guidos would walk by. They didn't even know who it was. Like, what do you got a cardboard cutter to your fucking mother for? I heard somebody say that. I was like, it's fucking guy's got his mother in a fucking cardboard cutter. It's like, no, it's Elizabeth Warren. Like, who the fuck is that?

But then the people that did know were just calling it Pocahontas. They were calling her Pocahontas because that's what Trump calls her. So like, yeah, look at fucking Pocahontas over here. Like that. I was like, they're back sick. I was there with Pauly Gassi. Shout out Pauly Gassi. If you check my Instagram and check his Instagram,

Elmo was dressed up for the kids. And I was telling Pauly that he should sell him out of the back of his trunk. Pauly Gassi, our trainer, sells to make extra cash on Christmas time. He sells tikka miyamos out of the back of his trunk. Paulie Gassi, our trainer, sells to make extra cash on Christmas time. He sells tikka miyamos out of the back of his trunk. Yo, those are still in style?

Bro, he thinks so. Like who, what kid fucks with Elmo? His business is not flourishing. And so it was fucking wild. Like it was a wild time. I mean, I'm not going to lie. I got hammered last night with Paulie Gassi because he was drinking Patron with splashes a wild time I mean I'm not gonna lie I got hammered last night

with Paulie Gassi because he was drinking Patron with splashes of pineapple I mean ripped I was fucking ripped oh but that daytime rip feels good

when you walk in the weather feels good that breeze on your face and they're like yo Chrissy D and you're like you don't even look at them no icons at this point

and then they were handing me drinks oh that's great that's a good time and I just want to let my fans know again thank you so much for the support for History Hyenas.

And oh, came out to my shows. I had shows at Uncle Vinny's Comedy Club in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Both shows all sold out. All Hyena fans. I really appreciate it. If I took a picture with you, tag me in it. Christy Comedy and at History Hyenas, Snapchat, CDTV. And so thank you guys for coming.

But I do not do cocaine. So I was offered cocaine and bags of coke by about 20 people yesterday. I do not put any... I don't do drugs. And people were DMing me like, yo, I have cocaine. Meet me on the 85th and 3rd.

I'm like, listen. I'm like, yo, we sure chill. And I'm like, I don't like I'm like I don't I don't do coke but so but I appreciate it I appreciate all the support and love

was it the guys with the tattoo Jesus Christ offering you the coke cause I feel like all of them yeah yo

every time I see a dude with a tat of Jesus Jesus Christ I feel like the Jesus Christ doesn't want to be with them right they're looking at them like

they're gonna be off this motherfuckers skin it's whack no it's but motherfucker's skin. It's whack. No, it's whack. But it's like... And it's usually like on a weird place, like on the calf muscle. Yeah.

Or the forearm right here. People offer me like free sausage and peppers, you know. They're like, Chrissy Keto, don't eat the bread. I'm like, I'm not keto. What are you talking... Oh, and by the way, thank you though. I did finally... My daughter was at the parade at the festival as well

with her new family. Meanwhile, you're walking around with Paulie Gassi dressed up as Emma with two drinks of Patron with no ice, just warm. Warm, fucking like a dick. With bendable straws. So I finally get to see my daughter for two minutes, you know, because she was running around on the rides. I literally am, for the two minutes, I'm holding my daughter around her mom, her mom's new boyfriend, and her son. Literally for the maybe less, maybe the 80 seconds that I got to see them. Because, you know, my daughter wanted to go on the rides and all that, and I was going the other way.

I respect it. And it wasn't, you know, it was their time, my kid's mom's time to be. You don't sound like you're fine with it. No, no, no. I know. No, I'm fine with it. I'm fine with it. But it's like for the 80 seconds I'm holding my baby

I just want to say thank you to the guy who walked by and yelled from about 20 feet away on top of a truck Chrissy Precums I appreciate that while I'm holding my family and then of course situation looks at me situation's new boyfriend

looks at me, Delilah looks at me and then Delilah, my daughter asked me what's Chrissy Precum's me I would just call yes the baby was taken from me immediately by the situation and they walked down the block so so I want to say thank you to that fucking FF that fucking did that to me that maybe now not sure took my daughter was taken from me immediately like cuz you know here's it's in a, because you yelled Chrissy Precum. And the situation goes like this to me. Real nice.

And then takes the baby. And I was like. You know he had a crispy white button down, right? Yo, and like a dick. And he just sniped it. Because then I looked over and it was gone. And then Pauly Gassi was just like. And then Pauly Gassi sees like I'm like fucking great.

Now I can't see my kid just hands me a Patron with pineapple just takes all the pain away guy and a Starbucks cup yo like a dick not both

they didn't even care the festival you can have liquor in the streets just yeah it's all shut down liquor in the streets yeah

that's because you're white that's a white privilege oh shout out also to the police officer that took a picture of me and then asked if I wanted to hold his gun in the picture. What? Shout out to that guy.

I swear. I swear. I took a picture with some cop. He's like, you want to hold my gun? I was like, no. Yo. Yeah. No, Bay Ridge, it's a different.

If you've never been to New York City and you want to come to New York City, definitely go to the Times Squares and the downtown Brooklyn. See all the tourist shit, absolutely. But you have to at least once. If you want to see true New York City, like if you want to see what New York City was like in the 70s and 80s, you have to go to the outer borough neighborhoods. Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

You have to do those things because it's just a different thing. Like there was a kid, Gianni, who's a producer of theo vaughn's podcast and now he's he's got a leading role in the new um power spinoff that's on star so shout outs to him uh gianni's a great kid we were with each other he's on my instagram on my instagram stories and i think i posted him on oh you got my stories will be deleted by then but um i'll put him on my main page but gianni's a good kid he's from rhode island and he lives in downtown brooklyn he was like what is this place he was like i live in

brooklyn i'm like yeah but you don't really live in brooklyn you do yeah it feels like a neighborhood he's like i don't get it he was like he was like why like what is this and i was like oh this is like deep brooklyn like the support like they like you would never see it in there I mean you I mean literally I would say maybe 30 people with humongous Trump 2020 flags like waving them and then people going nuts it's like listen it's just what it is in that neighborhood I really what Giannis has been there before but like I wish like I was there with him I wish that you know they were they're away but like to be together to see it like there were so many things like the I was there with him. I wish they were away. But to be together, to see it, there were so many things.

I was overloaded by the videos I could make. I was like, I can't believe what's happening here. I mean, multiple people with the same tattoo, the Twin Towers through the holes in Jesus' hand. I mean, you don't understand. That's multiple people. This is what it is. You know, America this, America that, American flags,

Jesus. You know, the way that, like, um, like, even, like, the way, like, the police are, you know, out there, it's just, I don't know. It's wild. Go see it next. It's always, it's always the last Sunday in September, um,

because then there's a Jewish holiday today. Did you know the San Gennaro Feast? The San Gennaro Feast is different in the sense that it's all watered down and it's like you have a lot of New York people there, like hipsters or whatever. So it's an Italian festival and it's San Gennaro.

So you get a lot of old school Italians but not like Bay Ridge. It's like nobody who's not from New York was there, or very few people. I feel like the San Gennaro feast is run by old school New York. Everyone looks like an ex-criminal. If you're going on a pony ride, it's like a dude with four tattooed teardrops, one tooth left in his skull. You know what I'm saying? But everyone who's walking through and, mingling or whatever,

it's just a mix, diverse group of people. Oh, and by the way, I forgot about this one. Shout out to the guy, I'm not going to say your name, but you told me to say it on the podcast and it was okay, so I will.

He goes, I'm outside this restaurant, Bocce's, it's called, which is like an old school, like kind of, it's not, I don't want to say what it is or what it isn't,

but it's just, but you know what it is. It's one of those restaurants that's been there on bay ridge for a long time and it's it's italian and this guy jacked fucking guy huge chain on like in his 50s tan skin fucking leather jacked right tattoos everywhere pepper hair going on tattoos everywhere he goes yo your name are you di stefano and i was like yeah he goes yeah you had a good time with my daughter on the lovesack stop yeah on the lovesack and i said and it was like like i was like like because i'd be like jacked you peed a little bit and then he goes it's just what it is and then gave me a handshake and he goes, the podcast is one of the funniest fucking podcasts I've ever heard in my life.

One of the funniest podcasts I've ever heard in my life. I swear to God. He goes, keep doing what you're fucking doing. He goes, my daughter makes her own decisions. And he's like, I swear to God. He goes, you treat her with respect and you're a fucking gentleman. He goes, not every girl's going to be your wife. I get it. I get it.

He goes, you're a true gentleman. And I was like, you don't know what the emotions I just went through. I said I thought I was going to get killed. He goes, if you were going to get killed, you'd just be dead. That's what he said to me. He said it was okay to say this on the podcast? So casually. And then he was like, what do you want to drink? Everything's on me.

You're not paying for nothing. Yeah, I didn't pay for anything. Do you know who the girl was? Yes. And she's a great girl. That's nice. And truth is is like if we didn't like well we did but it wasn't like it was like it was like i went on multiple dates with her and it was like a year ago it was a while ago that's not that long ago yeah you know it's done but so but so i just want to talk about the third Avenue Bay Ridge Festival,

which I know if you're listening from Mississippi or something like that, you're like, what? It's like, just Google it. And I hopefully like talking about stuff like that. It makes people want to come to New York and come to these neighborhoods because they're wild. But thank you for filling in, Serge. Yeah, man.

I'm happy to be here. Why are you itching your eyes? You got allergies? What are you doing? No, man. I think I got an eyelash in my head, which, by the way, Chris is a really good friend. I'm happy to be here. Why are you itching your eyes? You got allergies? What are you doing? No, man. I think I got an eyelash in my head. Which, by the way, Chris is a really good friend. I'm going to tell you why. Earlier today, we're training, right? And I had

a session. I had a session. I'm actually training for a fight, right? Yeah, he'll get fucked up, though. He's probably going to get laced. Yeah, because he's not taking it seriously. That's what you told me last time. Why your lower jaw comes out a little more when you talk shit? Yeah, because I get started to get mad. He ain't taking the crap seriously. He ain't taking it seriously. You told me he time Why your lower jaw comes out a little more Yeah cause I get started to get mad He ain't taking the crap seriously

He ain't taking it seriously You told me he was getting drunk and all that Yo Yo you got a memory Cackle it out This fucking guy That you told me that two months ago I had to tell this guy

Yo I'm paying attention guy I consider him my fighter And I'm like yo dawg He comes into a sparring session hungover I'm like yo dawg You think the guy you're about to fight Is drinking every weekend like this? I said in a few years,

that's none of our business, but our business is to come correct. All I need is you, I need you for two months to live a righteous lifestyle, meaning no drinking, eating, you know, the right food, and training hard,

just so you don't have any reservations later on. Sure. You don't beat yourself up if you get your ass kicked. It's like, oh, I should have did this, that, and the third. At least you gave it your all.

And then you kind of go in like, nah, man, I did everything I could do. You know, it's like being in a relationship, right? Like, if you're cheating on somebody and then it doesn't work out like, oh, because I cheated. But if you did everything right, it's like, fuck it.

It wasn't meant to be. Anyway, so fast forward. I was training him earlier today. I thought he was a good friend. I consider this guy a friend. I had a booger in my nose. Like it was out of his nose, almost on the top hair of his mustache. Yeah, and it was visible right here.

It was like, you know. It was hanging out. And I'm there for a good 45 minutes to an hour with this guy. Come on, one, two, extra enthusiastic, passionate about what I'm doing with him. Every day. And I go to say what's up to Chris, and Chris immediately doesn't even say hello to me. He says, you have a booger in your nose. That's a good friend.

Right away. You know, and it was like, I got the tissue and the people. Yeah, and he was trying to be mad. There were girls training. He was being like mad cute, like, oh, what's up, ladies? Am I in your way? I think he's mad suave with a fucking booger. Yo, wow.

And that's the second time that happens to me. One time I had like five classes and I ate a poppy seed bagel and I had poppy seeds all throughout my teeth. And I noticed that everybody I was talking to in class

wasn't giving me eye contact. Yeah. And you know, I got a lot of teeth. I show all my teeth when I talk to you. You have extra teeth. You're like a shark.

Listen, it's also because I have a short upper lip, so there's a lot of teeth and then a short upper lip, so you's a lot of teeth, and then a short upper lip, so you're going to see everything. You might even see the speed bag in the back. Yeah.

Yo. So I'm talking to all these people, and I'm wondering why people are not giving me eye contact. They're like this. I'm like, yo, make sure you bend your knees when you duck. Make sure you keep your hands up. And people are like- They want to look.

And sure enough, another Chris in my life, a guy by the name of McFadden, tells me, yo, you got like 20 poppy seeds in your mouth. Yo. And I yelled at the class. I was like, yo, motherfuckers, I've been with you for over an hour. You had to tell me this shit. Yeah. So you're a good friend for letting me know that it's not in my nose.

I fucking let, yeah. And then I'm like trying to clean it. He's cackling. He's laughing in the back, wrapping up. Yeah, I was dying laughing. Yeah, because you're fucking, you know. Whack, yo. Yo, I came in hungover this morning, too.

Walking on a boogie in those, the whack is shit. I came in hungover. You came, yo, you know. Whack, yo. Yo, I came in hungover this morning, too. Walking on a boogie in those for whack as shit. I came in hungover. You came in, yo, you don't want to be there. My hair was wild, right? I came in wild this morning. Yo, he came in, his hair was extra dry. It looked like if you do a match near that shit, it would just flame up. Yo, but I still got a girl's phone number.

Yeah, his hair was like this. Then he interrupts our session trying to pick up a girl through another person. It worked, though. Whack, yo. She's Greek. She's Greek? She's Greek. But, and I It worked, though. Why, girl? She's Greek? She's Greek.

But I said to her. Did you say Yasu? Yeah. No, here. The opening. I'll read the opening text. Oh, good job. The opening text was. Oh, no.

I won't give names or anything like that. But the opening text, I said, hi, this is Chris DiStefano. I saw you earlier. I know Greek women are not allowed to date non-Greek men. But my best friend is Greek. Shout out, Yanni Papa. And I love tzatziki sauce. May I take you out for Greek coffee?

Hashtag fuck turkey. And then she just wrote back, tzatziki is a dip, not a sauce. Yo! I just said, all right, I'll stick to what I know. You want to get pizza? Same difference. And then she said, fine. That's it?

One word answers? Yeah, so she's probably interested, not interested. But she wants to go for a walk today. I like the way you gave her your full name so she can look you up and know exactly who you are. And I gave her my Instagram. The thing is with me, if I talk to a girl. Did she know who you were? No.

If I talk to a girl, I will let her know immediately two things. Number one, yeah, my full name. I'll give her my Instagram so she can lurk and see what she wants to do. And I'll always tell her I have a daughter. I'll always be like, hey, listen, my kid comes first. So those three things are, they're known. So yeah, she said those three things

and now we're going to go for a walk. But she said in one of the texts that her family is not about, she's allowed to date non-Greeks. She's from Australia, so it's a different thing. Greek-Australian. So she was like, I can date non-Greek. Look at this. Yo! Tell them what you did. Tell them what happened on Saturday. It's a different thing. She's Greek-Australian. Greek-Australian. So she was like, I can date non-Greek. Look at this. See, he went, I didn't do it that way.

Yo! Like, interesting. Yo, tell him what you did. Tell him what happened on Saturday. Tell me that story you were telling. But don't say that word, Pa. I can say that word. Listen, I'm not popular.

Yeah, you can say whatever you want because you're fucking Puerto Rican and no one's going after non-whites. Exactly. Me, being a straight white male, I have to walk this fucking tightrope. I have to walk this fucking tightrope and say whatever I want.

But you, as an ethnic person, can say whatever you want. You guys have enough power. I have to walk this fucking tightrope and say whatever I want, but you, as an ethnic person, can say whatever you want. You guys have enough power. I support Shane Gillis. You know where Shane Gillis could sell a lot of tickets? Bay Ridge. That guy would sell out fucking...

He would sell out every pizza. That guy would sell a lot of tickets at Bay Ridge. Back restaurant pizza joint back there. Oh, my God. Yeah, well, Larry Bay are doing coke. They're back. All right.

All right, go ahead. Yeah, tell this to you. You were telling me. Man, funny. Yeah, so the thing is, man, Larry Baer doing coke. Like that. All right. All right, go ahead. Yeah, tell this to you. You were telling me. Man, funny. Yeah, so the thing is, man, sometimes you reduce yourself to saying things that you don't actually want to say. Sometimes you reduce yourself to being an animal that you are. Yeah.

I live in a ground level apartment in the Lower East Side, right? There's a lot of traffic and noise being at his neighboring bars, right? So I stopped in a different part of the apartment. Me and my wife weren't fighting, but my daughter decided to sleep with my wife, right? So they're in the front near the front of the building, right? So they hear all the people traffic. My wife wakes me up at 3 a.m. Yo, I was like waking up like this.

Babe, I can't take it anymore. I'm like, what the fuck? Yo, you thought she found your side phone. Yo, I thought like, I was like, yo, I don't know what to do. I'm like, what the fuck? Yo! I will not take it anymore. You thought she found your side phone. Yo! I thought she, yo, I thought, like, I was like, yo, I don't know what to think. I'm just kidding, Liz. I'm just kidding. Yeah, I don't know.

I honestly thought, the way it felt, that someone was trying to break into the apartment. That's the kind of fear. Yeah. Like, that was, that was surface. I was like, oh, shit, what's going on? So I'm in boxes, swollen eyes, you know, this ugly face like this, walking through the darkness, following her, you know? this ugly face like this, walking through the darkness, following her, you know. And she's like that.

When my wife gets mad, she gets very, like her body, you know, her posture is like very. She gets up, yeah. Yeah. And her butt was sticking out. She's walking really fast. Yeah, her mad high butt like that. Yeah, her mad high butt walking to the door.

And she starts yelling. She opens the door and starts yelling at three men in the front. She says, can you please leave? I told you. I'm like, babe, wait. Let me get dressed. So I'm looking for my brass knuckles. Yo. Which, of the place. She's like, can you please leave? I told you. I'm like, babe, wait, let me get dressed. So I'm looking for my brass knuckles. Yo!

Which, by the way, Zach Isis has for sale. Yeah. Oh, but yo, they're not brass knuckles. They're paperweights. Oh, yeah. They're belt buckles.

Right, right. When you're bottom of my line, you don't get brass knuckles. You got paperweights. Okay. So I'm looking for my paperweights. Yeah. And she's yelling at these guys.

She closes the door and then they knock on the door. Bah my paperweights. Yeah. And she's yelling at these guys. She closes the door and then they knock on the door. Bah, bah, bah, bah. And they run off. Right? Right. So I go in front of the building. There's a table

in front of my building. So throughout the night there's just a bunch of shit going on, right? Someone left a table in the front. People are drinking and smoking in front of my building.

So now I'm barefoot. My daughter's awake. Man smelly feet. Yo, big ass bunions, black toenails because I'm training for the marathon. Gross. So I'm out on the asphalt. With skinny ass legs too. You got skinny ass legs but a big upper body.

Yo, no hair on my calves. Mad shiny calves. Disgusting. They feel like my head. Like a sphinx cat. You ever touch a sphinx cat? It feels like balls. Yeah, no, I know.

It's fucking disgusting. That's why they call me Chrissy Sphinx. If you're interested in touching balls, get a sphinx cat. They live like 12 years. Yeah I know. It's fucking disgusting. That's why they call me Chrissy Sphinx. If you're interested in touching balls, get a Sphinx cat. They live like 12 years. Yeah, yeah. It's what it is. Yeah, and the same care

is required. You know what I'm saying? Just kind of, you know. Search the animal lover. Or warm damp cloth. Yeah. You know? What are your snakes doing

at this point when you wake up? Are the snakes like, tsss? He's wearing two of them. Yeah, yo, he said he's wearing two of them. I should have took out the snake.

Yo. So I'm faced with this situation. I really don't have any idea what's going on. My wife is livid. There's a white table in front of my door. Which, by the way, let me real quick. Your wife is livid, and she goes out there yelling, knowing she's not going to do anything. If they have knives and brass knuckles,

you're the one who's going to get the ass beat, and she will not be touched. Why knives and brass knuckles and chains? This is 1986, like Streets of Rage. brass knuckles and chains? Like, this is 1986. Like, Streets of Rage. Yo, low-E-sized wild pop. Warriors. Right?

Yeah, like the Warriors and shit. Fucking, like, pipes going like this. Yeah. Yo, but of course, she runs out because she knows, you know, it's not going to get physical with her, but you're going to get grass feet. So now, like, not out there with my funny-ass feet that the toes curl out like this.

My toes curl like this. It's disgusting, yeah. You look like you're wearing an elf shoe. But it's just your foot. Yeah. And I'm out there barefoot. I moved the table to the front of the bar. You're barefoot on the streets of New York City.

Streets of New York City. My shirt's like tucking to my boxers. And I start yelling. Is it the boxers, though, that have the little button that your dick popped out a little bit? Yeah. Yeah. But I was a little fearful and excited excited and the adrenaline was going so my dick like head you know when you got like the button dick like yeah work out real hard and go away

yeah protecting yourself it doesn't really want to be involved yeah it's a little button so like yeah it's like i felt like i had a little button dick yeah and these guys are like running down the street and i was like just to get a response i was like, just to get a response. I was like. Screaming. Yeah, and I caught myself like, yo, my daughter's probably hearing this shit. Yeah. My daughter knows that her father's outside barefoot yelling at strangers. And that was my night. And I had no idea what they actually did to my wife.

I didn't know my wife was pissed off. It turns out that they were out there for like an hour being noise. My mother, my mother, my Liz told them to get out. They didn't leave

and then when they were leaving after they knocked on the door they were like, suck my dick, you know. So it was like a bunch of nasty shit. Well, you called them,

you know, they were like, they were interested. But no, I reduced myself to using this. They were like, oh, this is what we want. I reduced myself to using this this is what we want

I reduced myself to using this nasty word just to get a response because my wife was so angry I was so fearful and like excited that I used that one word

just to kind of lasso them in and they didn't but let's explore why you used that word Sergio and why it was at the tip of your tongue

and why it was in the front of your head because this is it's people like you like you well I'll tell you why I used it because this is the, it's people like you, like you. Well, I'll tell you why I used it. This is heavy and hopefully you can clean up this mess.

Oh, yeah, I'm staying out of it. No, I'll tell you why I used it. It never had to do anything with gay people. I didn't know when I first heard that word. You got a gay sister? No, she's straight now. Oh, okay. She was gay for like six hours.

Oh, yeah. You know, a little phase. You know what I'm saying? Oh, no way. Which, by the way, everyone makes fun of me because I have no hair on my legs and arms. My know, a little phase. You know what I mean? Which, by the way, everyone makes fun of me because I have no hair on my legs and arms.

My sister has all the hair. Yo, shout out. Sergio's a lesbian sister. So, yeah, my father, years ago, I was like five years old visiting Florida. Died of AIDS,

locked up, you know, gangster. You know what I'm saying? Just a regular Puerto Rican upbringing. Yeahed up. You know, got a gangster. You know what I'm saying? Just a regular Puerto Rican upbringing. Yeah, Vietnam. Come on.

Yeah, he called me a f***ing buttons guy. He called me a f***ing buttons guy. All because he was collecting goats. Okay. Yeah, I don't know why he was collecting goats. Puerto Rican. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, how else are you guys going to drink milk? We're loading goats from a farm in Tampa, Florida, onto a pickup truck. And I cried because one of the goats that I wanted, he didn't take with him. And I was like, no, I want that one. I started crying. He called me a f***er. And I don't remember what that word, I didn't know what that word meant, but I knew it hurt me. So anytime I'm like really mad, that's a word I use.

But it had nothing to do with gay people. It's just a word that hurt me. So if I'm in a situation, I'm throwing that f***ing axe at somebody. It didn't stick, man. Those guys kept on walking down the street laughing and shit. I couldn't go to sleep after that. I had to run 20 miles for my marathon training. Yeah, to get to f***ing.

You were training, run 20 miles. Yeah. Yeah, man. Yeah. So it's interesting how like you might use a certain word. It doesn't have the same meaning that people may perceive it. But I was just so angry. Yeah, that you chose to use a hateful word.

Great. No, yeah. Wild. Yeah. So Serge had a weekend. I had a fucking weekend. Shout out to Uncle Vinny's Comedy Club for paying me in all cash. That was not smart.

But thank you. I just walk around with too much cash to go to the car. That was wild. I was like, this can't be real. That's what Guidos are. They're like cash and rubber bands. I'm like, is this illegal? You can't give this to me. What do you put in that cash? Back pocket

or front pocket? I sold out shows, so it's like a good payday, but I'm like... Oh, this guy's pocket stays that. No, but I'm just... Oh, this guy's pocket stays stacked. No, but I'm just saying, like, just give me a check. You're not going to give me that much in cash. I was like, why do you have this cash in here? What are you doing? I'm going to get robbed. Don't ask me any questions, Bob.

I know, I'm just like, this is just what we're told. This is how we do it. So I'm sure it's a fucking... I'm sure it's a tax evasion that I'm involved in, so great. Okay, so people...

What do you think, Venetia? I think he's hot. I think he's cute. good looking. He looks like Eddie Monster. What do you think, Venetia? I think he's hot. I think he's cute. I want to be that cigarette. He got the eyebrow raised up. He thinks he's cute. You can say he thought he was cute, too. He was born Leonard Alfred Schneider.

So is he a Jew or is he German? He's Jewish. Schneider. I thought he was Jewish. But Schneider could be. Is Schneider Jewish? It's Jewish. So he's kind of like the first controversial stand-up comic, and he's kind of – like the way stand-up comedy is now, the art form of it now, like storytelling with like just like punchlines that come and just being funny for 10 minutes as opposed to like, hey – like Henny Youngman was a very popular comedian at the time, and he was one-liner, one-liner, one-liner.

Lenny Bruce would storytell, and it was controversial because he would say things that you say now. He would talk about, make gay jokes. Yeah, the shit that I was spewing out on the streets of the Lower East Side this past Saturday because I was angry. Yeah, yeah. He did Freely on stage in the 1940s. You should have screamed that at the Bay Ridge Fest. You would have gotten an applause break.

Well, what's different about Lenny is that he wasn't just saying, like, because if people would talk about those subjects, it would just be, like, kind of crass jokes, like, punching down, I guess is what they would call it now. And he was actually talking about the subject of it. Right. Talking about homosexuality, talking about minorities, not saying, like, generalization jokes.

They were good or bad or anything yeah just i'm actually living with them and actually what they're up to and stuff well yeah but in in those days even even mentioning that was like yeah a no-no so he was like the first like symbol of free speech um you know for comedians so a lot of comedians you know like look up to him and like remember that like because of him taking chances chances, some comedians feel like we have what we have. We can do what we're doing now because of him. And the truth is, that's just not true. I mean, does everybody have to be a fucking hero? It's like, yeah, this guy was great. 100% the guy's great. You can't deny it. But it's like when people are like,

I started comedy because of Lenny Bruce. Shut the fuck up. No, you didn't. Just shut up. All these comedians that are like, I did that. You inspired me to do it. Shut the fuck up. Nobody inspired. You just do it. You either get gigs when you first start and you continue because the money's there or you just fucking quit. So stop with the bullshit.

You're my hero. Shut up. Okay? I've had enough of like this fake pandering yeah he's great okay i mean listen lenny bruce it's great you know you watch his stuff on youtube it's like yeah i get it i get what it is i get i get it all you know i mean but it's like he's yeah he's fucking awesome okay do we have to is the guy you know when you talk to comedians you're like lenny bruce do you man like do you ever just watch lenny bruce and get inspired it's like no i know i don't i get inspired

when i'm fucking doing comedy and somebody's like oh yeah you sold tickets so i'm like yeah give me the money what do you mean inspired what the fuck are you talking about people are just out of their mind it's like everybody needs something now it's like can you just find it from within what do you mean lennyny? Oh, really? This guy fucking inspired you? Shut up. He did comedy for like 10 years and then he killed himself. You're a morphine.

Wild. That sounds about right, though. 10 years and you expire. Fuck it. That's it. And you're out. Did he kill himself? Did I make that up?

No, he OD'd on morphine. Yeah, well, you killed yourself. That's a good way to go out. You ever did morphine? No. Remember when I got sick out of the world? Oh, that's right. Yeah. I got sick in Boston. Yeah, well, you killed yourself. That's a good way to go out. You ever did morphine? No. Remember when I got sick on the road? Yeah.

I got sick in Boston. I had tummy ache. You did. You fucked me up. By the way, the second... Oh, yeah. Left. Because in Rhode Island at the Comedy Connection, Sergio has a tummy ache, can't do the show,

but I have Giannis there, so he goes on. Then two weeks later in Boston, Sergio has a tummy ache, has to go to the hospital. That was fucked up, man. Canceled the whole weekend, but is still looking to get paid as if he did five shows. And now I'm bringing him with me this weekend to Comics Comedy Club at Mohegan Sun. My feet hurt. Yeah, and we'll see if you make it through all five. Come to Comics Comedy Club.

By the time this podcast comes out tonight, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, October 3rd to the 5th, Comics Comedy Club, Mohegan Sun. I got a lot of dates coming up, actually. Go to christycomedy.com, get all my dates. Sacramento Punchline, Madison Comedy Club on State, which you're coming with me to. Yeah, that should be fun. University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, where Oshkosh Bogosh is from, children's clothes. Okay.

But Lenny Bruce was ahead of his time. He was ahead of his time. I'm just kidding. He was ahead of his time. I mean, the way he went out, that's ahead of his time. Who's down with a morphine OD? That's ahead of his time. Every jazz singer.

Yeah. Really? It wasn't like... No, jazz musician, rather. No, listen, I love Lenny Bruce. I feel like that was some Prince, Michael Jackson shit. I love Lenny Bruce, and obviously what he did was great, but it just gets annoying sometimes when you hear open mic comedians or comedians just making shit up to feel inspired.

Yeah, it's like, quit saying, what would this dead guy say to support your fucking cause. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like old Lenny Bruce would have said that. I feel like I don't hear so much with Lenny Bruce. I feel like I hear more with like Carlin and Al Patrice. Those are the two. Like people, the way they write, and Patrice is great. I'm like, yo, why don't you just pull his pants down already?

Yeah, just shut up. It's like, yeah. You're a grown man talking about another man like that. He was great. Yeah. Don't say that in front of his hat. I know. That's what made me think of him. It's like, yeah. A grown man talking about another man like that. He was great. Don't say that in front of his hat. I know. That's what made me think of him. Oh, yeah. That's right. So, but what is awesome about Len... I mean, the guy started doing

stand-up in the 40s. It was like a completely new art form. Like, nobody... Well, who you had... Who was the one that you said was doing stand-up in the 40s too at that time? Sid Caesar, a bunch of people. Yeah, but it wasn't like – but they weren't doing it like him though.

It's all precedence-based. It's all goofy stuff. It wasn't like – It's like Three Stooges type shit. Yeah, it wasn't breaking shit down. Yeah, like he was actually breaking down a topic like most comedians do now. And that's dope that he did that first because it's like it is a blueprint of of how to do you know comedy so i love that um he also was he did jokes he got honorably he got discharged from the navy um because he uh posed as a transvestite he was on some marisa shit i was

gonna say he's on some marisa shit so there's a lot of similarities right here to me and janice so he poses a transvestite like Giannis. And then he expressed homosexual urges like me. And then he was discharged. He was thrown out of the Navy also like me because I can't go to Thanksgiving. And he also – and then he's also – his mother owned a dance studio like Andrew Schultz, and his ad libs would earn – he would get laughs off basically just like going off the cuff type shit with – his mothers would have these shows, and he would be like the emcee of them. What was it called? Oh, the Victory Club. The Victory Club.

So he would be the emcee. So that's kind of cool. Like nobody was ad libbing comedy back then allegedly but him, and he was getting laughs off it. So that's kind of cool that nobody was ad-libbing comedy back then allegedly but him and he was getting laughs off it so that's kind of cool that he trusted that instinct to go with that that's that is some pioneer shit because a lot of people would just be like oh i can't do it that way like i have to just do an impression or do something you know but he didn't so that's that i respect him for he was really young as well, like 16, 22 doing this. Right. I didn't realize he was so young. When did you guys start comedy?

I was 24. I was 26. I was 30. When did you start? 30. 30. Yeah. But he wasn't doing this, I'm going to change the world.

That wasn't his fucking goal. His goal was, I'm going to get laid and get some money. Yeah, which is why everybody starts. It's like, you know, I do my comedy to bring unity. It's like, shut up. You're trying to get paid in Bang Girls. You're not fucking having fun with it, man. Everyone does this because it's like you know you're come i do my comedy to bring unity it's like shut up you're trying to get paid having fun with it man everyone does this because it's fun like you know it's fun you know lenny bruce himself seemed honest and dope that's why i like him i have no problem with

lenny bruce i love lenny bruce and i think he is a pioneer and great it's just in the comedy community it's like all these comedians like they just attach themselves I'm like Lenny Bruce I'm doing this like Lenny Bruce it's like no you're not no you're not what do you mean you're at a bar show it's not clear to me whether or not

yeah yeah I hope some of the comedians I fucking yeah I would love for them to fucking die of heroin overdose it's not clear to me that when he was when he was discharged

did he do that I wonder if he did that purposely that he just just had to transvestite purposely to get kicked out? Yeah, what's the reason? Does anybody know the reason why he did that? Or he just happened to be goofing around? I think he was goofing around.

I think he was putting on a show for his friends. And then what happened is that they were like, get out of here. But I think they didn't discharge him properly. So he overturned it. And then he kind of got it under, quote unquote, honorable conditions. Good for him. Yeah. That's how he left. It's like an episode of Sergeant Bilko right there.

He did his first stand-up show age 22. Yeah, they said that it was in Brooklyn. He got like $12 and a plate of spaghetti. I don't know. It's about the same price it is today. I know this guy was harboring a lot of STDs. STDs, well, because condoms weren't even invented by then

That's crazy Well they were but no one used them No one used them All day every day Yeah Yo he married a stripper named Honey Harlow Honey Harlow Yeah

I think I did an open micro when I first started Yeah he didn't want her to dance So then he was like you know doing side hustles And then he got in trouble with the law doing that I mean he used to get arrested right He would be arrested Well he got arrested because of what he was like, you know, doing side hustles. And then he got in trouble with the law doing that. I mean, he used to get arrested, right? He would be arrested. Well, he got arrested because of what he was saying on stage.

Right. They had him like on watch. They were just waiting for him to slip up. But then they said he funded like a leper money to like a leper colony in New Guinea. And he raised like $8,000, but only $2,500 of the $8,000 went to New Guinea, so they saw that as a criminal scheme and arrested him. It's probably, yo, use that money for the blizzy. His pockets were stacked like you after Uncle Vinny's. Yo, he was like, yo. He was like, yo, you lepers, man.

Your fucking arm's going to fall off anyway. Let me get that cocaine. In 1953, he moved to Northern California. Pussy. And he started doing stand-up again um and then he started to get dark i love when comedians get i like because the truth is it's like there is a lot of darkness in comedy it's like you know the truth is like yeah when you listen to my comedy i talk about my dad a lot and i talk about my problems and it's like haha funny

but to get to those jokes you have to get through a lot of darkness and pain. You're pulling some layers back. Yeah, it's like, yeah, I wish my dad and family wasn't the way they were sometimes. But it's like, what am I going to do? It's like what you're really seeing and what Lenny Bruce is doing, the original one to do it, is what you're really seeing is a comedian dealing – it's how we deal with our pain. We're really actually in pain, but we're just – thank you for laughing at us. It makes it feel worse. Then you fucking die of morphine overdose.

41. Yeah, so he got arrested for using the word cocksucker. Could you imagine? Saying the word cocksucker in San Francisco and being arrested. Oh, my God. It's like, yeah. There's no way in the jails you do that now. Absolutely.

Jesus Christ. You don't hear that that often. Yeah, I know. You hear the word that you use on a Saturday night. You don't hear that that often. Yeah, I know you hear the word that you use on a Saturday night. It's a fun word to use. I don't use it

with my friends or anything but when it does come out it feels very satisfying. This is all getting tackled out. Cocksucker, you went away. That used to be a thing you would say

but now it would be like a 55, 60 year old man a fucking cocksucker. Yeah. He got in trouble because he said cocksucker and probably can't come in the sexual content so that Yeah. He got in trouble because he said cocksucker and probably can't come in the sexual content.

So that's why he got in trouble. Right, right. What I love, there's one thing that he did that I fucking love. In Australia, he was performing in Australia. How did you even get to Australia in the 1940s and 50s? But he fucking got there. He took an eight-month journey on a canoe and he got there. That's a long time to make $12 on a plate of spaghetti

but the guy did it and I bitch when I have to fucking drive to Delaware. So this guy, he was performing and a local actress in Australia

named Barbara Winden who just, if your name's Barbara and you're a white woman you're just fucking annoying and I don't like you. I've been fired twice in my life

for comedy gigs and both times it's been a woman named Barbara. So I just don't like white women named Barbara. They all suck don't like white women named Barbara. They all suck and they all have bad haircuts. So anyway, yeah, cocksuckers.

So local actress Barbara Winden stood up and complained that Lenny Bruce was only talking about America in Australia and asked him to talk about something different. And what Bruce responded with was, fuck you, madam, that's different, isn't it? I'm like, yeah, one for the good guys, one for the Americans. Okay? Because

it's like, the truth is, what else was there to talk about in the 40s and 50s but America? What were you doing, Australia? What do I want to talk about you? You have nothing going on. Your country's too far away from the rest of the world. Koala bears and kangaroos? No one cares. Nobody cares. Steve Irwin's not even

going to be alive for another 10 years. Nobody cares about your fucking dumb country. Crocodile Dundee was a good movie. That's about it. It's just about America. So that's what he's talking about. And then he died a couple of months later from an overdose at 41. It's just what it is. It happens. The good ones are just going to die

of an overdose. That's why sometimes I'm like, shit, am I ever going to make it, really make it as a comedian? Because I don't do drugs. why sometimes I'm like, shit, am I ever going to really make it as a comedian? Because I don't do drugs. So now I'm like, I have to ask myself, what do I want? Do I want to just keep going where I'm going? You're going to keep on going

and running out of shit 60 years old? Yeah. Bird doesn't do drugs. He's doing good. Segura doesn't do drugs. Who's that? Bill Burr. Why not smoke crack and see how I feel? doesn't do drugs. I mean, he's doing good. Yeah, he's doing good. Segura doesn't do drugs. Who's that? Bill Burr. Segura, you know. But why not smoke crack and see how I feel? You know what I mean?

Cut to two months when you're living on the streets. Yeah, but I'm fucking crushing. I have so many new bits. Oh, that'd be awesome. Yeah. You don't have shoes from here to mouthpiece.

So you read a book about Lenny Bruce. Do you remember anything of it? I don't even know you, Kareem. Yo, I got my skills. I didn't finish it, man. Honestly, I mean. And that's another message that your daughter's going to hear.

Not only the words you use, but your starting things and not finishing them. Books, fights, books, fights, and slurs. The only thing I can think of while I'm yelling in the street was her peeking out the window and then seeing me use that nasty word barefoot with my bunions

protruding out my foot a black toenail from all the running and then she 20 years from now she remembers this that's what she remembers and you fill her with hate

she's eating in school today the way his daughter is saying pre-cums so it's the same shit and they're always trying to focus she's got a comedic mouth. She always try to focus on, oh, my God, his funny ass nasty feet.

And trying to like. Yo, she's like, oh, man, my dad turned around and was yelling that word. And then his fucking uncircumcised penis popped out of his boxer hole. I'm circumcised, though. I got a helmet. Oh, yo, you got no fucking God. You just move like your head. I got no wrinkle hoodie.

Yo. My shit don't look like a sweet potato. My penis smooth as fuck, girl. I'm circumcised, But you know I got them HPV genital warts Speed bumps How do you get rid of those Burn them out

No I don't have genital warts I was just kidding It's easy to get rid of those Ain't nothing but some cream Yo I don't know You sound like you know God Yo I'm just saying Yo I fucking

Should we call Giannis And just start Just call him Fight for the bonus? Oh, yeah. Go to patreon.com slash Bay Ridge Boys. We're going to call Giannis for the bonus episode for our Patreon members, only our non-toots. Also, also, a couple of people told me, they were just like, oh, I listen to your pot.

I guess they're just listening to the Hyenas experts or Wild One or whatever we name that one. They're like, I didn't know you just talk about Hyenas. I'm like, that was just one episode. That was just one episode. What do you mean? That was just one episode where we talked to that fucking guy about Hyenas. The thing was, it was a little weird. I guess they talk about the history of Hyenas.

I mean, cool, but we needed to do that one. But that's not what this podcast is. I thought it was when I first heard it. I was like, oh, I fucks with Hyenas. I mean, cool. But we needed to do that one. But I was like, that's not what this podcast is. Yeah, it was interesting. I thought it was when I first heard it. Oh, I fucks with hyenas. I never said it. I said hyenas. Hyenas.

I never said hyenas. I said hyenas. Because it's a marketing ploy by your boy. By the God. By the God. You don't get them dollar signs. What up? Because it was like, oh, make it stick out in their heads.

But yeah, so Lenny Bruce, in summation, I love Lenny Bruce. To be honest, I haven't seen much of his comedy. The only old school comedian that I really watch, watch, and like laughed at is Henny Youngman. You ever listen to Henny Youngman? No. Yeah. Take my wife, please.

Yeah. I think I go back. He was almost like a Mitch Hedberg before Mitch Hedberg, Henny Youngman, the way he played with words. Yeah. Take my wife, please. Yeah. I think I go back. He was almost like a Mitch Hedberg before Mitch Hedberg. Yeah. The way he played with words. Yeah. It was like misdirection. You listen to it now, it sounds kind of cheesy.

But people didn't do that before that. Can we play like a minute of Lenny Bruce? Just so like I want the audience to hear like if you don't, if you're not familiar with him. Well, you don't even have to go to the beginning. I mean, anywhere you go, it's just like. I mean, he was clear and crisp, too. Let's see.

Governor Farvis, segregation, offend me. Nighttime television, offend me. Some nighttime television. The shows that exploit homosexuality, narcotics, and prostitution under the guise of helping the societal problem. Except for a few shows. There's one guy on the coast who's got a nutty sense of humor. His name is Paul Coates.

And he found out, like they were kids, that eight and nine years old... Just pause it one second. So you've got to understand, even just what he just said, he's sitting down on the stool, he's in his suit, he's getting up, he's sitting down. You have to understand, this is 1959. The comedians that were doing the Tonight Show equivalent or is on the Steve Allen show, which is like, you know,

would be like, whatever, the Tonight Show now or like a family show. Even the fact that he mentioned homosexuality, it's like, it's fucking nuts. It's like nuts it's like nuts nuts nuts that you're doing that and he's not even because every other comedian at the time had a guitar you know they were rigid yeah had a would come out and be like oh i just you know flew in and boy are my arms tired like that's what the comedy genuinely was like the hack the jokes that

are hacked now it's like they weren't hacked back then because that was the material henny youngman take my wife please with the violin the violin, Rodney Dangerfield. I mean he wasn't successful yet, Rodney Dangerfield, but that kind of like – I get no respect. So what Lenny Bruce – just to come out and be talking openly and honestly about things that like – even today in 2019, you couldn't do – like if he started saying that on the Jimmy Fallon show, like he wouldn't get booked. You know what I mean? So it's kind of nuts that even still to this day in America you can't I mean if you watch like Italian television I mean they're just like they'll say whatever the fuck they want it's

like they're doing the weather with their tits out so yeah all right let's play it one more minute and then then I have to pee if it's okay with Venetia to get high on you know and so I had sort of a fantasy how it happened. The kid is alone in his room, and it's Saturday. The child is played by George McCready. Classic McCready. Let's see now, I'm all alone in the room, and it's Saturday. Mother's away, and what'll I do that's good and hostile?

Let's see, I'll make an airplane. That's good. I'll make a Lancaster. Good structural design. I'll get the boards wood. I'll sand it here. I'll cut that off. I'll get the struts now. Now I'll get a layer of plane glue. I'll rub it on the rag and ah.

Hey now, it's a nutty plane. You can't even do jokes about getting high on balance now right now and is this scroll to the end because this is a 13 minute video

is the whole video his set I think it's more than one set I don't nope it's all one set so it's crazy that like today

like when you get booked when you get booked to do the tonight show whatever five minutes

less even sometimes four minutes 45 seconds you start going over there play the drums on you to get when you get booked to do the Tonight Show, whatever. Five minutes. Colbert, five minutes. Less even sometimes. Four minutes, 45 seconds. You start going over, they'll play the drums on you to get you off. So, I mean, he was doing an elongated 15-minute set on late-night television saying things. I mean, I'm sure people were horrified watching at home. So, I mean, that's really cool that he did that and was like,

fuck it, I'm just going to do. So I could understand back in that time you get arrested. It's almost like it wasn't hate speech, but it's like they were viewing it as hate speech because they didn't understand what he was trying to do. So that's awesome. He never really tried to make a stand for language and shit like that. He was more like, they're fucking with me and they're wrong. That was what his real issue was.

Which is dope. If you watch the movie with Dennis Hoffman. Oh, you think there was a movie about him? Lenny, yeah, where he plays him. That's actually a really good representation of his life as well. So listen to this and then watch that. Listen to this and then watch that. And then go to our Instagram
