Starting point is 00:01:31 Patty Fly Balls called me yesterday at 6 p.m. I was fucking snuggled cute in that love sack. You had a real city worker night last night. Listened to the rain, and then Patty Fly Balls was like, I got to fucking do a major game. And I said, what? He said, I got to do a major game. And I said, all right.
Starting point is 00:01:44 So he told me to meet him at Penzi, it's called, right next to MSG. And then we just started banging out Oktoberfest. Yeah. And then it got, by the time the first period started at 7.05, I was already two beers in. And so I was getting a little. Which means four because you live your life two in. I live my life two in, right.
Starting point is 00:02:02 So I was loosey-goosey. Yeah. And then it got one of those things where a guy, I don't remember how I got home. I mean, I looked up my phone this morning, and the last text I had for you was, Chris, please don't hit any Muslims. That's what you said. You've been cracking a few brews lately. Yeah.

I had to check a couple of guys, and it's one of those things I'm telling you, man, it's just
Starting point is 00:02:35 I've just been out there living my fucking life, just celebrating just celebrating who I am. Yeah. And who I am is just a nice Nazi. No, no more of those jokes. No more of those jokes. Sorry, that was the last one.

Starting point is 00:02:58 Yeah, yeah. That's what it is. Yeah, but I told you there's a checklist we got to go over to make sure it's good. Yeah, yeah. Should we go over the checklist? Yeah, okay, let's go over the checklist. No names. All she's known as is 420. Yeah, but I told you there's a checklist we got to go over to make sure it's good. Yeah, yeah. Should we go over the checklist? Yeah, okay. Let's go over the checklist.
Starting point is 00:03:06 No names. All she's known as is 420. Yeah, 420. Because that's her birthday. Which, unfortunately, like we said, I think it was last episode, that's exactly the way that certain people are identified by your ancestors. Yeah, 420. Just numbers.
Starting point is 00:03:17 By numbers. So, unfortunately, yeah, 420. She knows about the podcast. She knows she's called 420, and she just remained safe. So she's listening right now. She told me. Hi, how are you? Hi, how are you?
Starting point is 00:03:27 Hi. She told me she won't join the Patreon or anything, but she said she is just here for the content. Okay, I'm just going to come out and ask it. Yeah. Oh, so she said I'm here for the content, so she has listened. She just said she is here for the content, but she's just. Does she have fakes? I'm just coming straight out of the ass.
Starting point is 00:03:40 She's got no fakes. She's got realies. She's got no fakes. She's got natties. She's got natties, and she's got a nice fat ass. Yo. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Okay. Yeah. So, you know, we got to figure out. There's a whole line of questioning you got to figure out. Guys, okay, when you're out there and you're trying to date a girl, you want to meet a girl, it's like John Travolta said in Saturday Night Fever. You got your nice girls and then you got your other type of
Starting point is 00:04:09 girls. I'm not going to say it because I'm a gentleman. Who is? I know who is. You got two types of girls. Yeah, well, that wasn't me. That was Patrick Mulrooney saying that. Yeah, how you doing? This is Sean Tyree. You know, I got to say something, right? I'm fucking Bernie and all these fucking people. I hear Bernie one more time. I'll tell you right fucking now. Yeah. I'm fucking Bernie and all these fucking people. I hear Bernie one more time. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:04:31 Yeah. If you want a fucking socialist, we'll catapult you right over that fucking wall. That's what it is. Yeah. Yeah. So talk for a second while I find it. Okay. So just real quick, because I forgot to do this in the first two minutes.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Real quick, I just want to say, encompassing, we're not going to get into it. I just want to say, vanity is screwed in. Moving on. I just want to say, encompassing, we're not going to get into it, I just want to say, Vanity is screwed in. Moving on. I just want to say, and then I want to say... And she told you that you could not be Chrissy Truth Serums and say anything more. She's fucking screwed in.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Girl's screwed in. You can say that. She's borderline sniffing truffles. Yeah, she's fucking wild. Yeah. Yeah. And Mike Emoji Face is back. Yeah, Mike Emoji Face is back.
Starting point is 00:05:03 He's breathing on my neck. Yeah. So go to historyhyenas.com for all our live stuff coming up. Patreon.com slash Bay Ridge Boys. Gramercy Theater is a hard sellout. Now, there's not even any – we're not even going to be queuing and be like, oh, let's open tickets. We open tickets and then you guys fucking ate them like wild hyenas and spit them back out. You ate the bones and everything.
Starting point is 00:05:21 It's a hard sellout. Christycomedy.com, yannPapasComedy.com for all upcoming dates, New York City, November 29th and 30th, Gotham Comedy Club for me, and November 21st, 23rd, House of Comedy, Minnesota, Q. Yeah, and also, guys, go follow Mike. Go follow Mike. What's your handle? MikeVSWords.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah, Mike, we were barely staying afloat without you this week. Yeah. Unfortunately, I am very buoyant. Yeah, Unfortunately, we came up with a new rule. If you leave and aren't here for another Monday, Chris is going to roll out a catapult,
Starting point is 00:05:53 and you and all your family members are going fucking over the wall. You're getting over the wall. No matter where you land, you're going up in the air. If you leave again, you're not going to have to explain stuff to me. You're going to have to explain stuff to Ice, because I'm calling them. We also figured out that if Trump know, if Trump gets reelected, you know, we tried to see if there was a dilemma. What if they try to deport your family?
Starting point is 00:06:12 Well, they can't because my family, they're Puerto Ricans. Yeah. So they're naturalized, born American citizens. Yeah, but what if he changes the rules? If he changes the rules. You're going to be torn. If he changes the rules, like you said, we're going to have to hide my daughter, like, and Frank. It's just what it is. It's just what it is.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It's just what it is. Baby, get back down into the cellar. It's just what it is, but the situation's not safe. Telling Puerto Ricans to be quiet is going to be insane. Yeah, but my kid's got a violent streak. Let's be honest. My kid will hit an officer. It's just what it is.
Starting point is 00:06:41 It's just what it is. And she'll call him officer. Yeah, she'll say, listen. And that's the last thing he's going to hear before he gets struck. Officer, listen. You're treating me like I'm a minority right now. So that's why I'm filming you.
Starting point is 00:06:54 That's why my camera's out. Because you violated my laws. And my father happens to be Chris DiStefano from Geico. So you better just back the fuck up. I reckon my father's Andrew Schultz. Yeah. Well, my father knows Andrew Schultz. Yeah. Yeah. Well, my father knows Andrew Schultz. At some point, he knew him.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Yeah. Before he got arrested. Yes. You know, Chris, he going down too. Yeah. So that, all right. So here's the checklist. Okay?
Starting point is 00:07:16 Here we go. Now, this is science. This is the part of this. You know, when we do these things, this is scientific study. Yes. This is science right here. So fellas, if you want to know if you got a good girl and if you can proceed, these questions have to be fulfilled. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Does her dad say, I love you at the end of phone calls? Okay. Does he? He does. He says, I love you. He doesn't say the way Lynn does, love you. Just says, love you. No, I asked her specifically.
Starting point is 00:07:40 She said he uses the word, I love you. So, you did ask her. I asked her all these questions out loud. I was just kidding with you, you fucking psycho. I asked her out loud and she was laughing. So that's why I just think it's cute. Okay. And does he check on her?
Starting point is 00:07:53 He checks on her all the time. He checks on her to make sure she's safe. Yes. Okay, good. Now what does he do? I don't know. You need to know what the father does. They're from Iowa.
Starting point is 00:08:01 They're from Iowa. Yeah, so I don't know what he does. It's something in the farmland. Okay, it has to do with wrestling or corn. Yeah, it's what it is. It's got to be one or the other. Yeah, I do know who our father votes for, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:11 And it's to the right. You're saying him and Lynn can hold hands going to the voting booth. Yeah, I'm just saying him and my mom will have a lot in common. They'll just have a lot of happy memories. Yeah, they'll have a couple giggles over some Lindsay's at Rudy's. Yeah, that's what it is. They'll agree over some things. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:29 There won't be any disagreements if they're eating Lindsay's in Eileen's house downstairs. No, it's just. Because the doors are always open. Yeah. Both apartments, they're always open. Yeah, always open. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:37 So, we got those answered. Now, like I said, a girl's relationship With her mother Is no biggie Doesn't matter Because they end up Growing up And then it's just Two women
Starting point is 00:08:48 Who can both Give birth fighting That's what happens Yeah It's not a big deal Now Venetia She's screwed And she's not even
Starting point is 00:08:54 Paying attention To the podcast Yeah it's just What it is Yeah Okay Okay I told you The father's crucial
Starting point is 00:09:00 And then I sent you A picture of me Flexing in the mirror In my parents gym Yeah So I'm just going Which by the way Thank you for posting on History Aenas. I woke up today to what my Grindr profile would look like.
Starting point is 00:09:09 I like how Giannis just posted his jacked arms, and he just let me go full body with dad socks on and dad shoes. It's like if you would have went full body, guy, it just would have been different. But there's nothing I could do right now that is my profile on Grindr. It is your profile, and you look good in it. You sent it to me because you were telling me you look good. No, but I just want to give just a little addendum to the fellas and ladies that threw that pic. That was me three months ago.
Starting point is 00:09:32 I've gotten more Jacks since then. Yeah. So we're going to do an updated Grindr picture. And then we want to see Mike Emoji's Grindr picture. Yeah. It's just what it is. We want everyone to make a Grindr profile. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Zach, I want to see yours. Yeah. Because Zach's body looks like Georgie Animal Steel. It's just what it is. He's jacked out. You can't see any skin. He looks like a bear. He looks like a full bear.
Starting point is 00:09:50 You're a beefcake. Another funny thing you said to me, too, is that because I told you she's really funny, and you said that's a bad sign because if she's funny, that means she has a male brain. That's correct. But that made you go puing. Yeah, that made me go puing. Yeah, if a woman is funny, it's a little bit of a red flag because it means she's got a male brain, and it also means she's beguiling, and it means that she knows how to manipulate.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Because that's what we use our personalities for. Right. We use comedy basically to trick people. Yeah. To distract them. You know? Am I wrong? No, you're not wrong.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Okay, I asked you, does she have fakes? You answered that question. She has no fakes. Does she got any tats? She's got no tats. Zero tats. Zero tats. Wow, that's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Yeah. That means her father screwed it. The wildest thing she's done is she did a little blow in Iowa, but she went to Iowa State, so it's like you do a little blow there. How much blow are we talking? Just a little blow, she said. And she has a Colombian ex. That's about it. I wasn't even going to go there. I'm just kidding. That was just a joke.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I was just kidding. I love Colombians. You know that I love Colombians. It's a good country. It's a good country. Just kidding. That was just a joke. I was just kidding. I loved Colombians. You know that I love Colombians. It's a good country. Yeah, it's a good country. Just kidding. Yeah. Yeah, but that's a cocaine joke. Does it have anything? Yeah, I should have just left it as a cocaine joke, but it's actually he's being true.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Yeah, well, that's why I did it back to back. Yeah, okay. Does one thing have anything to do with the other? Yeah, it was just Colombians do coke. Was he giving her coke? I don't know. Yeah. Well, we got to find that out.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Yeah, well, yeah. And she also told me that the day that he was, this is true. She said. He was deported. She was like, no, she was like, she was like, we can never, she was like, it was always weird. She's like, literally like we landed in Iowa. We landed in Iowa and she knew like, you know, everyone who were coming and then my grandma
Starting point is 00:11:18 died. And I was like, I know why she died. Yeah. And then she laughed at that. So when you can do jokes To a woman like that And then she just laughs at them It's good to go
Starting point is 00:11:28 Yeah Because she's kind of like Woke and dope Like Venetia That's what I like about her Yeah She's like Venetia Woke and dope
Starting point is 00:11:34 Who's my work wife But she doesn't overdo it No no no no It's the similar thing As Venetia Woke dope Like so hot Some woke and dope
Starting point is 00:11:42 Dressed trendy Really pretty Cute Cool But you know Her father votes for Trump. So it's like... Best of both worlds. You could just have...
Starting point is 00:11:49 I'm going to be honest with you. It's just not that I'm voting for Trump. I don't know. My political affiliations, I'll never tell you who it is. It doesn't matter, but it is real. It's the same...
Starting point is 00:11:57 But if you listen to this podcast long enough, you can take a pretty good guess. Yeah, if you just go to patreon.com slash Bay Ridge Boys, I'd let it all hang out there. But I voted for hillary i told you i voted for hillary in 2016 you know that jesus christ i did i know that's it's just it's that's rough to hear yeah i'm coming out of a face that looks like that i know pat i voted for hillary guy yeah pat finnegan is he had a problem with that yeah does he know that yeah yeah but let's be honest you did it for your
Starting point is 00:12:24 career because at the time, you were really prancing around for a sitcom. Yeah, I did, yeah. They made you gay. I was prancing. Yeah, if you watch the fucking pilot for They Did You, you're a gay guy.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I'm a gay man. But what was I going to say? I was going to just say, you were saying her ex-boyfriend is Colombian. No, but there was something, another point I was going to get to with her. I don't know. She's, oh, just. No, but there was something, another point I was going to get to with her. I don't know. She's, oh, just in general, it's like comedy, comedy and girlfriends, it's just better if they're a little conservative.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Like, the more conservative they are, the just more shit, just more I could be myself. Because as soon as, you know, you get like this fucking liberal ass girlfriend or liberal ass audience, like you just can't say or do anything fun anymore. Right. So it's like, you know, it's like, I think women that are skew more conservative, just a little bit easier right now in 2019 to deal with because they'll just get in the kitchen and make my food. Yeah. And if Chris makes a joke, if Chris makes a joke at you standing around close to a comedy
Starting point is 00:13:18 room. Yeah. You're just going to giggle and laugh because he's bigger than you and he knows how to move hands around. It's just what it is. Just giggle and laugh like you would in high school because a bigger kid who's good at sports and who also knows how to move hands around is making a joke at you. Yeah, I'm just getting tired of it. It's like, listen, guy.
Starting point is 00:13:33 It's like, you know, I was a good friend of mine, but on Saturday night I said one of my jokes wasn't funny. I was like, guy, I'll flush your fucking head down the toilet, okay? It's like, listen, the truth of the situation is – Let's cackle the names, please. You know what? It's like, what do you want me to do, guy? It's like, yeah, I'll flush your fucking head down the toilet, okay? It's like, listen, true to the situation. Let's cackle the names, please. You know what? It's like, what do you want me to do, Guy? It's like, yeah, I'll fucking. Right in you.
Starting point is 00:13:52 And you'll do nothing. There's more cackles. We're back. The whole thing. The whole thing. It's like, do we just have to pretend everybody's a fucking saint because they're not white? It's like, Guy, I'll fucking field goal kick you. Talk to me like that one more time, all right?
Starting point is 00:14:03 Yeah. Okay. I don't know where we're coming back. We're back again. Are we back now? I have no idea. All right. We're back.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Yeah. Sorry. I'm hungover. We got Steel Pipe Chrissy. Wild. And then we got Machete Chrissy. Yeah. It's just a little too much.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. You're cutting people now. Yeah. I'm wild. Yeah. You can hit people.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Yeah. Are we back? I don't know. Venetia will make people now. Yeah, I'm wild. Yeah, you can hit people, but if you, yeah. I mean, are we back? I don't know. Venetia will make the decision. Yeah, okay. Sorry. So anyway, no. Yeah, but I'm just, you know.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Am I wrong about having a conservative wife's a better life? I don't know. Venetia, is it true? I see your point with in comedy, but yeah, it's to each their own. To each their own. Perfect. There's no way you're ever going to be with a guy who votes Trump, even though your dad wants you to be with one.
Starting point is 00:14:48 No. He's a Greek father. No, he's not that Greek. He's not that Greek. No, no, no. I noticed that he's not that Greek because I flipped through your Instagram and I've seen who your friends are. Yeah. So, yeah, no Greek father would allow that.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Because when you say conservative, you don't mean like send them back. You mean like take a joke. Yes, exactly. I don't mean like. Isn't it weird that we live in a time now that the conservative kids are the more ones that are okay with jokes? Yeah. Everything's fucking backwards. Like, for example, I dated a girl.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I was dating a girl once, and I was on a group chat. She had a tattoo on her tit? Yeah. No, no. For sure. It was like this. I sent a group text with her friends because we were gonna go uh i was want to get them comedy tickets so i just i had known them both i was just going
Starting point is 00:15:31 on dates with the one girl but the other girl was cool and i put in the text i said hey guys and then you know um this is what the deal deal is for the comedy show blah blah blah and then she the girl was dating was the last time i didn't even respond to i was like i'm out she was like she's like cool thanks she's like but we're girls. So, like, I know, like, guys is, like, very easy to just say. She's like, but, like, all that stuff is part of, like, the patriarchy. And it just went on. And I was just like, I just, you know, gave it the double tap, thumbs up.
Starting point is 00:15:55 And then I never talked to her again. So it's like that person is just, it's going to be a nightmare to deal with that woman. You're right. So I feel like a girl, like, 420, she does not vote for Trump and she will not vote for Trump. Right. But she's more – she's closer – she's not extremely – she's not extreme in anything. She's down the middle. But I'm saying she comes from a more conservative family.
Starting point is 00:16:13 So she's just a little bit more of a real person. That doesn't mean she wants to throw anybody over the wall and she doesn't think – she doesn't agree with everything Trump says. But it's just very easy to talk to this woman. I can say and do anything. Right. And she understands it's a joke and she won't jump down my throat unless I fucking yell a slur, and then she'll be like, not cool, babe. But it's like, that's not cool anyway, to begin with, and I wouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Unless I got a few in me. Yeah. Unless you got a couple in you. Unless the Giants don't cover the spread. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm joking. That was a fucking joke.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Salty dog. Shout out salty dog. Shout out salty dog. That was a salty dog joke. Yeah, it's a couple characters. Yeah. Well, a couple characters. But do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:47 I know exactly what you're saying, and you happen to be right. I was just tripping while you were saying that, tripping on that we're living during a time where that is true. It used to be the people who were more liberal and were open-minded were the ones who took jokes better. And now it's like the better audiences, the more open-minded audiences, ironically, are the most closed-minded
Starting point is 00:17:08 politically. Of course. So it's kind of weird. Yeah, just watch any comedy special that has a predominantly woke liberal audience and a woke liberal comedian. The only things they laugh at are things that are so stupid and they're not saying anything real. Whereas the comedians that we like,
Starting point is 00:17:24 if you comment on society as is, and people are laughing at it, there's a chance those people are more conservative-leaning than liberal-leaning. Because the only liberal comedians, the real liberal comedians that get big laughs. You don't even know what they're talking about. You don't even know what they're talking about. It looks like someone who just got released from a mental institution and ran onto a stage. You're like, what am I watching? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So it's like, again, and even our boy.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Do you see how it's – and now it's coming at everybody. Now it's got nothing to do with race or religion or anything. They're just coming at you. Did you see Mikey Che, Michael Che? Yeah, Seth Simon. I went after the kid again. I went after him again. Oh, that's Seth Simon again?
Starting point is 00:17:58 Went after Michael Che? Seth Simon again, yeah. See, but that kid, Seth Simon, he – He needs to get his head flushed down a toilet. No, but he will. But the thing is – but you've got to understand what people – if anybody who's a fan of his, like Simon, he needs to get his head flushed down a toilet. No, but he will. But the thing is, but you got to understand what people do. If anybody who's a fan of his, like, you got to understand, he doesn't want change, that kid. He just wants chaos.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Right. He's more of the Joker than anybody. I know. That kid is the Joker. It's just disguised in this white knight bullshit. He's the Joker disguised as Batman. So you got to understand that. I know that.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I know. I'm talking to the FFs that don't know. Yeah. It's like you don't support that because he doesn't want you to change. He's the same guy that would go after Kevin Hart for making a homophobic joke 10 years ago when all Kevin Hart has done is changed his actions. And of course he's not homophobic, but they just want to cancel you. He will tether himself to whomever is big enough where people would listen and pay attention. Now they're calling for Che to get fired, which he's not.
Starting point is 00:18:46 It's wild that they're calling for that. It's wild. It's a wild thing. They're trying to get comedians fired. Just because Michael Che called Bruce Jenner five years ago, he said he used to be a fella. It's like, was he not? He was a fella. These trans activists, they're
Starting point is 00:19:01 militant, man. They're militant. It's funny because the people who are opposed to their approach and a lot of things they're asking for the most are lesbians and gays is the rest of the community. So there is sort of like, yeah. Because when you think about it, and women as well. Women are starting to go like, hey, this cyclist just won her second gold medal. It's getting weird. What, she's transitioned?
Starting point is 00:19:29 She used to be a guy. She was born a guy. However you want to call that. I would be getting in trouble for the way I'm saying it now. The way I'm saying it is just what it was. She used to be a guy. She transitioned to a girl with the help of modern science because that's what it is, taking hormones.
Starting point is 00:19:46 And she won races, competing against other females. And we have a bunch of these now. There's like a bunch of this is happening. And women are upset about it. Right. The MMA one was the worst when that person first started transitioning. It just looked like a guy beating up women. It's brutal.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Yeah. Yeah, it's brutal. We have a cyclist, and there's a runner. There's a few track athletes. It's looked like a guy beating up women. It's brutal. Yeah, it's brutal. We have a cyclist and there's a runner. There's a few track athletes. It's a bunch of stuff. And so there's controversy on it and it needs to be figured out. Yeah. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Anyway. Well, yeah, so that's just, you know. Back to the list. My two cents. Yeah, and then by the way, we are talking about Robert Moses today, who was truly fucking wild and a racist and it sucks that he was that, but the kid got things done, so it's S-L-O-K-S. Yeah, I mean, he famously, what his, I mean, can we get a Wei Shangxian there? I mean, I don't care. Wei Shangxian. But yeah, he did push things forward.
Starting point is 00:20:36 I'm not condoning it. I'm not condoning anything, but I'm just saying, it's like, nobody's all good or all bad. So yeah, the kid had some, it was fucking racist, but you know what I mean? Yeah. There's a lot of people he didn't like that got fucking real nice houses now yeah because of the groundwork he laid yeah and he was a jewish kid he was a jewish kid so it's like boo fucking who everybody cried for him and i love how a lot of times jews will go like hey i'm not white i'm a jew it's like you know guy guy you know what i mean guy yeah you got fucking psoriasis you're white yeah you're a white looking kid yeah if you got to put on psoriasis a white problem yeah if you got to put
Starting point is 00:21:04 on sunblock you're a white fucking white i don't problem. If you gotta put on sunblock, you're a white fucking kid. You're white! I don't care what kind of shishke you are, you're white. Whatever it is, yeah. Yeah. Just fucking get the tax break and shut up. I don't know what that means. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:15 What does that mean? I thought whites get tax breaks. No, they don't. Oh, sorry. Yeah, Wei Zhongxian, please. Sorry. Wei Zhongxian. Yeah, there's no race-based tax break, Chris.
Starting point is 00:21:23 I wasn't sure. Well, Trump's American, there should be. It's all a character piece. Anyone tuning in for the first time from the New York or the New York Times or whatever big gazettes listening to write reviews, we're just doing character pieces.
Starting point is 00:21:38 That's a real review we did. Thank you to the New Yorker. The New York Times, I heard, reviewed us and it's coming out next week. Here's the next week. Yeah. Yeah. So here's the next one. The next question is, does she like Hari Kondabulu's comedy? And she said no. Who's that?
Starting point is 00:21:57 Okay, so that's a good sign. That's good, yeah. That's a good sign. I'm not saying I don't like the kid's comedy. No, but you know what I mean. It's like that virtue signaling shit. I don't like what he did. I'll be completely honest, and I would say it to him. I don't like what he did. Right. I don't like the kid's comedy. No, but you know what I mean. It's like that virtue signaling shit. I don't like what he did. I'll be completely honest, and I would say it to him.
Starting point is 00:22:07 I don't like what he did. Right. I don't agree with you. Well, we should have him on the podcast. Yeah, I'd love to have him. He's a nice guy. The good thing about this podcast- I'd like him to explain-
Starting point is 00:22:14 Let's have him on, and then the thing is like- Flush his head out of the toilet? Exactly. They start to pop off, and they get their heads flushed out of the toilet, and they just are reminded that we're still men here, and you can't talk to me the way you talk to me. Your head's going to get a little wet. Yeah, especially because
Starting point is 00:22:26 you know how to move around hands. I just can throw hands now. It's just that slow chaos. Yeah. I'm about 218 and I'm just cutting carbs out so I'll knock
Starting point is 00:22:33 your fucking head off. Yeah, but it's all a character piece. It's just a character piece. I won't hit you. You're a nice guy and it's not gonna happen. I'm a nice guy
Starting point is 00:22:39 and I'm just kidding around but it's like- But seriously, you will get your head flushed down a toilet. Yeah, it's just like, I mean, how much do we have to- I'm done tiptoeing.
Starting point is 00:22:46 My calves are tired. Yeah. Okay, let me see what else. That's a good way to put it, right? That's what it is. It's just, you're kind of just getting sick of it now. Yeah, guy. It's just kind of like, I'm getting sick of pretending, too.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Yeah, I just- It's like, I don't want to pretend anymore. Yeah, I just want to put on my flats. Yeah. Get off my tippy-toes. You want to get over your heels. Yeah, I want to, yeah. I just want to get into a pair of heels, clear heels. All right, what's want to put on my flats. Yeah. Get off my tippy-toes. You want to get over your heels. Yeah. I just want to get into a pair of heels, clear heels.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Alright, what's the next thing on the list? Because I want to talk about Robert Moses. Yeah. And we also got a comic quick. I said, okay, this is an important one. Since you're a comedian, you have to find out who she does like. And if it's a friend of yours, you got to bring that person around and make sure you bring her around. And then if she wants a picture of that person, leave.
Starting point is 00:23:28 It's over. Do you want to know who her favorite comedian is? Who? Despite it all? Yeah. Which is another, and again, not saying for or against anything, even though I love him too, because he's one of my favorites. Do you want to know who her favorite comic is?
Starting point is 00:23:37 And she knows everything about everything. Who? Louis C.K. That's her favorite comic? That's her favorite comic. Oh, okay. Yeah. She was like, I just think he's the best.
Starting point is 00:23:44 She was like, and yeah, just think he's the best. All right, well, look, good luck to you in 420. Yeah, thank you. And 420 is her birthday, which is also when weed got legal, right? 420? 420, yeah, that's... Yeah, no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:55 It's just the number they chose for some reason. Yeah, well... It's National Weed Day. And it's also, you know, whose birthday. Yeah, and I'm just... I'm not comfortable with the fact that you knew that, that you know his birthday. Well, I mean, you know who's birthday. Yeah, and I'm just, I don't, I'm not comfortable with the fact that you knew that, that you know his birthday. Well, I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:07 you know, he's, I'm not comfortable with the fact that every time I come over to your house, the Nazi symposium is still on your coffee table. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Because I'm starting to suspect you read it more than once. No. I'm starting to suspect you read, yeah, I'm starting to suspect you reread it.
Starting point is 00:24:20 No, I just can't get through it because I like, because I'm just Chrissy K.S., I've ordered eight books and I'm trying to read them all simultaneously. Yeah, well, I saw that one out through it because I like because I'm just Chrissy Kaos. I've ordered eight books and I'm trying to read them all simultaneously. Yeah. Well, I saw that one out there and then I saw Toni Morrison's book out there. So that's
Starting point is 00:24:30 you in a nutshell. Yeah. Alright? You're reading the Nazi symbiosis and you're putting it down and you're reading Pretty Woman the book. It's just what it is. So we got a problem. Yeah. I'm just, yeah. That New Amsterdam book is fucking wild though. I mean, I got a lot of things to say about New York City that we'll say once I'm done with the book. Yeah, you're a five on the Kinsey scale. It's what it is. I'm a full five. done with the book. Yeah, you're a five on the Kinsey scale.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It's what it is. I'm a full five. We never found out what Mike Emoji Face is on the Kinsey scale. Yeah, well, I mean, where were you again? You weren't saying, what were you doing? Did somebody die? No. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I don't think- My grandma died in August, but it was a blowback from that. Yeah. Kinsey needs to add a number for someone who will fuck an anime. Yeah. Yeah. It's tracked into anime. Yeah, it's tracked into anime, and that's Mikey. Yeah. So let's to anime. Yeah, attracted to anime. That's Mikey. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:06 So let's call that a, it's somewhere between a four and a five. Let's call it a 4.2. That's where Mikey is in the kins. Yeah. Okay. So. Do you want to get,

That's true. We had some funny ones. My God. Yeah, yeah, they were really good. I mean, they're starting to get like... They're starting to get nuts. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:25:30 Because there's so many now, people have to get so inventive to become unique, and they're doing that. And I will say, very, very, very, very, very rarely, maybe never has anyone even repeated a name. Yeah. They always are unique. Yes. I mean, they may be close to one another at times

Starting point is 00:27:16 Yeah. I think this is the longest I've gone without taking the mic out of the mic stand. Yeah, people always talk about how I take it in and out, in and out. It's what I do. It's my business. I take my glasses in and off. I'm an 80-year-old kid. It's just what it is. Today we're going to talk about how I take it in and out, in and out. It's what I do. It's my business. I take my glasses in and off. I'm an 80-year-old kid. It's just what it is. Today we're going to talk about Robert Moses.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I mean, Robert Moses, first of all, the thing is I know we talk a little bit about New York. I know sometimes we talk a lot about things that happen in New York City, and it's like just deal with it, guy, okay? You've got to just deal with it. It's like what the fuck else is there to talk about sometimes? It's like, New York, New Amsterdam. This is just where it all began. We're not going to talk about New York every week.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Yeah. But it's like, you know. It's true. Sometimes it's just New York-centric topics because it's like. More stories happen within 10 blocks here than all of the state of Iowa. What are you going to do? We go corn wrestling and we're done. That's it.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Corn wrestling and Chrissy's new girlfriend. And that's it. That's it. It's just what it is. That's it. Korn wrestling and Chrissy's new girlfriend. And that's it. That's it. It's just what it is. That's it. Yeah. So the only thing about 420 is she does like to take a little ayahuasca. Is that all right?
Starting point is 00:28:13 She likes to go to another dimension sometimes. She's got a third eye. I don't know. Is that okay? She wants me to go to Peru with her and do a little ayahuasca, and I'm considering it. I'm Chrissy Considerations. I know Allie told me she did it.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Yeah? Yeah, she told me she did it, and she said it was like, well, she had some big awakening. Yeah, that she realized she wanted her new. I feel like you're just going to get paranoid and start throwing hands at things. Well, she said you do throw up, so I don't like to puke. No, you don't like to puke.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Yeah. Yeah, and you know you got to do it down over the wall. Yeah, yeah, you got to go to Peru. I mean, you could do it. They could do it here, but she's like, you really got to go into Peru with a shaman because he's also an ayahuasca. Yeah. It happens down there in Mexico.
Starting point is 00:28:52 That's why they do it. She said Peru. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, by the way, real quick, just real quick, and then we're going to get to Robert Moses. Do you think I'm wrong for one of my closest friends? I mean, I grew up with this kid. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Let me put my seatbelt on. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I grew up with this kid. Whenever Christy starts, do you think it's wrong? Yeah. Yeah. I grew up with this kid. Hold on a second. Let me put my seatbelt on. Okay. Yeah. Whenever Christy starts, do you think it's wrong? Yeah. I grew up with this kid. Okay? He's not going to say, I helped an old
Starting point is 00:29:09 lady across the street. Yeah. Since we're five years old, I grew up with this kid, and he asked me, you know, he's getting married next year, and he asked me to be, he's going to have instead of having like a whole wedding party, he's just going to have two best men, me and his other close friends, which is going to be three of us. And he wants me to go to the wedding, which is next year sometime.
Starting point is 00:29:26 But it's in Mexico, and I don't want to go. I just don't want to go there. Yeah. Is that wild to just – I just don't want to go. I don't want to go. People get killed there. I just don't want to go there. I'd rather just not go down there right now.
Starting point is 00:29:38 I just – Is that wild to say? Is he a fan of the podcast? Yeah, he's a good friend of mine. He's a good friend of yours. Yeah. I mean, if he listen to this episode, whatever excuse you give, he's going to
Starting point is 00:29:47 know that you don't want to go beyond the wall. You know how it is. I could back out of it. It's like the same thing how I told, you know, with the Impractical Jokers because I made something up and I just got invited again. So it doesn't matter. I just get it. I'm fucking, I'm Chrissy Charms. You're Chrissy Charms. And it's running out and I'm aware of that, so I'm turning it up.
Starting point is 00:30:03 So I could just do whatever to finagle out. It's a character piece. It's on the way out. I can feel that my charm is on the way out. So in a last-ditch effort, my body, much like when you're dying, your body just puts on the backup generators to give it one more juice, one more test, and then it dies. That's what's happening with my charm.
Starting point is 00:30:19 I'm starting to just curse people out and get a little too wild so I can feel it waning. But just for certain situations, I can really just be super charm because I know it's almost it's all but gone now. Yeah, because you're like Chris, Chrissy Cinderella. Yeah. It's like your charm is going to expire at midnight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Unless I find a fucking shoe to slip in. Yeah. Your charm is a little glass. Yeah. And that's another thing I like about 420. She's got big feet. I fit in her shoes. You could probably.
Starting point is 00:30:45 She's a tall drink of water. She's a tall drink of water. How tall? She's a tall drink of water. She's a tall drink of water? How tall? If she put on some heels, she's probably right up to my eyebrows. Wow. Yeah. Wow, so she's about... Yeah, also no fumes. Go ahead. No fumes. Yeah. It just needs to be said. Yeah, how big of a fan is she
Starting point is 00:31:01 of this podcast? She said she won't listen to Patreon, but I forgot we're on a free episode. Wild. It's just character, P. Yeah, I mean, if she really likes you, she'll stay with you, because you're saying all positive things. They're inappropriate, but they're positive. I really like this girl. You're Chrissy
Starting point is 00:31:17 positive, but Chrissy inappropriate. It's just what it is. Yeah, yeah. I told the father not to listen. Yeah, you definitely don't want a father listening. It's what it is. Yeah, it's what it is. Okay, so would you, do you think that's an honest, like, if I don't want not to listen Yeah, you definitely don't want a father listening It's what it is Yeah, it's what it is Okay, so would you Do you think that's an honest Like, if I don't want to go to Mexico If the kid was getting married anywhere in the 50 states
Starting point is 00:31:32 I'd be there Which part of Mexico? I don't know, you know, whatever But people get killed all over I mean, you're drinking the water You're fucking getting shot in Cancun I mean, it doesn't matter anymore It's one of the border areas
Starting point is 00:31:41 It's more interior, it's not so bad People got killed in Cancun a month ago. You're talking to a spokesperson from Mexico. He's letting you know what the deal is. He is Mexican. So what are you saying? You think it's safe? It depends where he's going. Call your fucking abuelita right now and let's find out. She's dead and they were all born here.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Did she fall off a roof too? Dead. Christmas decorations. What do you think? It'd be funny if his family was like, I gotta go check on the roof. Everyone's like, don't go. Yeah. Christmas decorations. I mean, what do you think? You think... It'd be funny if just everyone... When his family's like, I got to go check on the roof, everyone's like, don't go.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah. Don't go to the roof. As soon as they get on the roof, they just die, and they tumble down. So what do you think? You think if it's in Cancun, it's safe? If it's in Mexico City or something,
Starting point is 00:32:18 like interior... Then you're... In a nice area, yeah. If it's in a resort, I mean, that's kind of... I don't know. I wouldn't go off the resort. That's where it's dangerous. But I'm saying in a resort, I mean, that's kind of, I don't know. I wouldn't go off the resort. That's where it's dangerous.
Starting point is 00:32:26 But I'm saying in the resort, you're good to go. Yeah, you still have to get to the resort. I mean, you're going to drink. You're probably going to wander off. I know you. Yeah. So you're going to just see something shiny and end up with your head on a plank. That's what I always think about.
Starting point is 00:32:37 It's like, yeah, the resort. But it's like, what about cabs getting to the resort? Can't they just fucking hijack those? No, no. The hotel kind of. They help, yeah. They like pay them off pretty much, right? Wait, you're talking about Cancun?
Starting point is 00:32:46 I think it's in Cancun. Cancun's not even like a part of Mexico. It's like a carved out part. But I've been there. I was there two, three years ago. You didn't feel safe, guy? I didn't love it. No, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:32:56 To be honest, I didn't love it. You didn't love it? I just don't like going there. And it's like, I know it's a kid's wedding, and I want to go. I mean, I love them, but it's like, guy, just Skype me. Let me FaceTime in. Yeah. And make a speech because I don't want, I just don't, the thing is, I don't want to
Starting point is 00:33:09 fucking have to go to a place I don't really want to go to. Yeah. Just, you know what I mean? It's like, if the wedding's anywhere, so it's like, am I a dick? It's like, I got a kid. I don't, I don't want to, I don't know. I don't think it'd happen anywhere, but it's like. I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:33:20 I don't want to go there either. So. Yeah. It's like, I just don't want to go to that. I don't want to go. You know? Is that wild? Am I wild V? Am I being a dick? Yeah there either. Yeah, it's like I just don't want to go to that. I don't want to go. You know? Am I wild, V? Am I being a dick?
Starting point is 00:33:28 Yeah, a little bit. I am being a dick. I like it. I've always wanted to go to Mexico. And if it's a wedding, they're going to organize it. They're going to make sure that everything's okay and it's safe. They're not going to bring their loved ones and put them in an endangered, you know, place. But it's like, does everybody have to be a spectacle?
Starting point is 00:33:44 It's like, guys, just get married at St. Matthias. I got the hookup. I'll get you booked. My mom knows. Yeah, my mom will just get you the room. Even if it's a year away. Maybe I should just try to fucking... Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to try to convince them to get married in Ridgewood

Starting point is 00:35:56 Yeah, it's what it is. Yeah. So Robert Moses is a controversial person. He's a controversial person. Well, yeah. Very controversial because of how racist he is and because he's sort of blamed for being like one of the first to really kick in gentrification into a new gear. His nickname is the master builder. So that's not a good nickname.
Starting point is 00:36:13 No. Especially if you're white. You don't want to have master out there. You know, but he's really responsible for all the big, you know, what do you call that? Infrastructure. The BQE. It's him. 35 highways, 12 bridges, parks, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Shea Stadium, housing
Starting point is 00:36:35 projects, two hydroelectric dams, and the 1964 New York World's Fair. All him. All him. All him. All him. Now, he just was a guy. He grew up in Connecticut, like real close to, yeah. New Haven.
Starting point is 00:36:47 New Haven, Connecticut. New Haven, Connecticut. Which got a good shout-out to Pepe's Pizza. Great fucking, Pepe's the best clam pie. Yeah. Shout-out to Pepe. And then he ended up moving to Manhattan. He went to Yale.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Wow, this kid went to Yale, Oxford, and Columbia. He's like your gay brother. Yeah, exactly. Kid smart, which I probably can't say. Should we edit that out? No, it's fine. You didn't say anything wrong, right? No. Okay. So he became a lawyer, it's fine. You didn't say anything wrong, right? No.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Okay. So he became a lawyer, but he majored in political science. What's unique about him is he just ended up yielding this broad power that we haven't really even seen since. I mean, he never was elected to any office, but he sort of had these politicians in his pocket and was able to fucking move these levers and get shit done. Well, you know why. Why? He's a Jewish kid. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:37:29 Screwed in. There were truffles to be had, and he found them and protected them at all costs. So here's all the positions he held. Now, this is the thing I love about local politics is, like, these guys fly under the radar. Yeah. You ever notice that, Mike? Mike's a smart kid, so he gets it.
Starting point is 00:37:46 He's smart. Like, these guys, they yield a lot of power and they fly under the radar because nobody really pays attention to local politics, but that's really where everything happens. Yeah. I mean, at the federal level, it's just the executive and legislative branch constantly in gridlock. Yeah. And then the judicial branch has way too much power.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Yeah. It's like people abuse you if you're a state senator. It's like, listen, guy, your whole fucking life will change because you're a state senator. Yeah, because those guys are the ones who are flying under the radar and really cutting deals that move on the grassroots level and are really getting paid off by companies to do specific things on specific blocks. Yeah. They control zoning.
Starting point is 00:38:19 They control permits. They control a bunch of shit, and there's always a little bit of organized crime fucking attached to this shit. It's what it is. Not like it used to be. Yeah. From what I understand, the gangsters aren't like they used to be. It's from what I understand in Long Island. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Oh, yeah. You were out on Long Island. Yeah, I was out on Long Island. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is all the positions he held, man. I mean, these are funny, these positions, because you'll hear them, and you'll be like, it sounds like nothing. Right. But the guy was in control of the entire city for a certain amount of time.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Kid lived till 92. That's a fucking, the kid lived long. Good genius. He was on keto? What was he doing? Maybe keto. Kid juiced. Yeah, he juiced maybe.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Yeah. So he was Long Island State Park Commissioner, the president of the Long Island State Park Commission. By the way, he did the Northern State, the Southern State, the Taconic. I mean, he laid out Long Island. Didn't he lay out Central Park and Prospect Park? No, that was Almstead. We'll do an episode on that. You're confusing you guys.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Yeah. New York State Council of Parks, chairman 24 to 63. I mean, for fucking 40 years, he was the chairman of that. But he had all these positions concurrently. He held a lot of these overlapped, and he was like six different things. Dude, he was like, he had all these jobs.
Starting point is 00:39:30 He's like Vanitya. He's like Vanitya. Yeah. He was New York Secretary of State for a year. He was Bethpage State Park Authority. That's out in Long Island for 30 years. He was Emergency Public Works Commission Chairman for a year.
Starting point is 00:39:44 He was Jones Beach Parkway Authority President for 30 years. He was New York City Department of Parks Commissioner for 26 years. The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority for over 40 years. New York State Planning Commissioner. New York State Power Authority Chairman for 10 years. New York World Fair President for six years, Office of the Governor of New York Special Advisor on Housing for one year. So with all these, they don't sound like much.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Right, and it sounds all great. They're all great things because you may be listening and be like, why, so what's the problem with this guy? He's just building infrastructure. Here's where it gets dicey. So he, during the Depression, during the Great Depression, Robert Moses met with LaGuardia, Fioro LaGuardia, who's
Starting point is 00:40:29 an FF, LaGuardia Airports. Was he like a true FF LaGuardia? But he has like an art school. Or was he like short and fiery? Zach went there. I think that's where Zach went. To twirl around. Yeah. Sinatra, Frank Sinatra. You went to Frank Sinatra school? Yeah. Twirl around over there. Fiorello LaGuardia, who was a sauce monkey went to Frank Sinatra school? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. I'm so –
Starting point is 00:40:45 Twirled around over there. Twirled over there. Fiorello LaGuardia, who was a sauce monkey ex-mayor of New York City. I mean, you can't get more of a name like Fiorello LaGuardia. Fiorello LaGuardia. He's an ex-sauce monkey mayor. Yeah. And during the Great Depression, during the Great Depression, when people were – I mean,
Starting point is 00:41:00 like they needed anything. I mean, they were selling their teeth in the streets. Robert Moses constructed 10 gigantic swimming pools under the WPA program, the Works Progress Administration, which helped create jobs. Now, here's the caveat in that. He made the swimming pools in the black neighborhoods 10 degrees colder because he didn't want them to go in it. Yeah, he said he thought. So that's where we start to get like, yikes. Yeah, he said that he thought black people didn't like cold water, so he made sure there were a couple degrees cold.
Starting point is 00:41:26 But what he didn't realize is all he had to do was create a swimming pool because black kids don't like to swim. It's what it is. So they're just not going to get in anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's what it is. So that was a big problem. He didn't even need to worry about the temperature. Just open the pool.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Yeah, and if you guys are driving, if you're ever driving through New York City, going over the Triborough Bridge, and then it spans into the FDR, and the FDR exit ramp goes into Harlem. Keep going on your ways and go directly over to Ridgewood, and Lynn will give you a little cake and a coffee. Yeah, we got to make a video game where Larry needs to be put down. Yeah, Larry needs to be put down. Where, like, you get, like, if you're fighting, if you're in our History Annihilation video game, when you're fighting If you can get to Find the secret room Where Lynn is She gives you A linchpin torch
Starting point is 00:42:06 And your health goes up That's how your health goes up She just feeds you linchpins And you get bigger and bigger Yeah Yeah So yeah By the way
Starting point is 00:42:15 Can we look up real quick Was he behind The Verrazano Bridge I think he was Was he Can we I mean the kid did so much And he yielded so much power
Starting point is 00:42:26 that he really is national history. He's not local history. Robert Moses is a giant of American history. And let me just really quickly finish the point that I had and then you go back to you. The exit ramp on the FDR goes into Harlem
Starting point is 00:42:42 and really the better way, the better way for it to have been done to create less traffic and just be more economical would have been if the exit rent went to the Upper East Side. But too many rich people lived in the Upper East Side.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Too many white people. Too many rich white people and rich white Jewish people lived in the Upper East Side. So he didn't put the ramp there. Instead, he put it into Harlem, which was a predominantly black neighborhood back then, and just made it even, which was a predominantly black neighborhood back then,
Starting point is 00:43:05 and just made it even, made more traffic, more congestion. You know, even I read, I even went furthermore and I read some sociology paper that said because of the traffic and the loud beeping, it even made, like, people slept less and less, therefore making them angrier and angrier. And they just, the whole quality of life was down and contributed directly to the, you
Starting point is 00:43:26 know, Harlem being basically on fire for the whole 60s, 70s, and 80s. Yeah. Yeah. And I believe that. It's a mess. I believe that to be true. Yeah. It's a mess up there now.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Yeah. Now the donks are up there and, yeah. The donks are up there. But I mean, yeah, the highways up there, it's a mess. I mean, it's congested when you're going from east to west to get into George W. Yeah. It's just a mess up there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:43 And he put it all up there. On purpose. On purpose. He did his whole. He hated public transportation. He just wanted highways. And he wanted to go directly through minority neighborhoods. He did not care about them at all.
Starting point is 00:43:55 That's 100% true. He displaced them no problem. And, yeah, the kid, you can say, was definitely in bed with the auto lobby. Because all his plans were for automobiles. And if you don't know, the way that the country looks post-World War II was directly the result of the auto lobby's request, the auto lobby's wishes to make it so you had to have a car. That's what the sub-results are.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Wait a second. This is Patrick Mulrooney chiming in. Wait, go back to that, Mike. There might have a car. That's what the suburbs are. Wait a second. This is Patrick Mulrooney chiming in. Wait, go back to that, Mike. There might be a situation. So the Arizona Bridge, which is the bridge that connects Brooklyn and Staten Island, which is my two homes, Brooklyn and Staten Island. That's where I go back, forth between. Was this thing built by Sandra Day?
Starting point is 00:44:39 Because it says, aren't more almond. It was one of Robert Moses' projects. Maybe Chocowada. If that was Aunt Maude Amon. Shut up, Smithtown Water. Smithtown, if that was Aunt Maude Amon, the kids of San Jardin, if these kids of San Jardin, I mean, I got to get a boat. You going to protest?
Starting point is 00:45:03 Yeah. You're not getting on it? I'm not getting on it. It was built by a CRD. You can't trust it. I got to get a boat and get myself some swimmies. I thought it was commissioned. It was commissioned by Robert Moses, but my brother was the chief architect.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Artmore Amon. Wow. Where is he? Can we just get a quick search on who he is? Oh, just full text. Fuchsia Fuchsia. His job? I was on the laptop before.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Oh. So where's he from, the architect? Where's the kid from? Pulling up right now. Switzerland. Okay. Yeah. But the kid, Otmar Amund.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Is he Mozdalto? No, I don't think so. Okay. Not that it would matter. Not that it would matter. Yeah, that wasn't me. That was Patrick Maroon. It's character piece.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Ladder 14. Which, by the way, Patty Fly Ball said the actual Ladder 14, which is up in Harlem, does listen to the podcast and is going to send us free shirts. Ladder 14. Ladder 14. Thank you to the boys at Ladder 14. Do you know that that happened to just be a complete fucking coincidence?
Starting point is 00:45:58 I know. How wild is that? Patty Fly Ball said he's going to talk to them. If we want to go visit them, we can do a video with them at Ladder 14, which is wild. That is wild. And it's just funny that we picked Ladder 14 somehow. Yeah. And it happens to be
Starting point is 00:46:09 his firehouse. Well, it's close. He said he's worked at Ladder 14. When they need extra guys, they go to Ladder 14. Yeah, what's he cooking today? Is he cooking? Who's cooking? No, today he said because he fucked his rib up, so he's on medical leave. So he said he's really not 5'5". He's doing desk work. Oh, he's doing desk work. That's why he went to the Ranger game. The Rangers got smacked last night.
Starting point is 00:46:25 He was upset. After LaGuardia retired in 46, Moses was called and granted. He was like the de facto representative in Washington for New York City for William O'Dwyer, who was the mayor in 46. I mean, that's a potato monkey if I've ever heard one. Yeah, it's a potato monkey, man. William O'Dwyer? Yeah. I mean, that kid should come with a fucking beat.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I mean, this kid, Robert Moses, I mean, he did. And he did things like, I mean, he didn't want Shakespeare in the park. It's like, you got to have Shakespeare in the park, you know? He didn't want, he wanted to get rid of a shaded playground in Central Park. I mean, the baby's into playing in the shade or else they get sunburned because he wanted a bigger parking lot for Tavern on the Green, which is a good restaurant. It's got good food.
Starting point is 00:47:10 So I get why people were like, fuck this guy. He also didn't want, big one too for me, the thing is with me, if you fought for the boys in any war, I don't care what you are, what you look like, you're fucking getting respected in this country. And Robert Moses didn't want black war veterans to move into Stuyvesant Town, a development that was completely created to house World War II vets.
Starting point is 00:47:32 So it's like, fuck you, Robert. He was – These kids fought for the boys. Now, yeah. I mean we often talk about how history is just not neat and tidy. And he did push the city forward. I mean, we're talking about the battery tunnel. We're talking about the FDR.
Starting point is 00:47:50 We're talking about... Triborough Bridge. Triborough Bridge. We're talking about... The Verezano. But a lot of people had to be displaced, too. You had to... You know, the city had to buy up their property,
Starting point is 00:48:00 probably for a cheap price, force them to move for those ramps and those highways to come down. So people got displaced. He moved people around. He was a racist kid. He was. And he was a powerful kid.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Like I was saying, he was named the construction coordinator in 1946. It's a made-up job. By Mayor William O'Dwyer. But he was basically – Yeah, but he – And he was also given power over public housing. By Mayor William O'Dwyer. But he was basically... Yeah, but he... And he was also given power over public housing. Yeah, but that's the thing. So who was this guy?
Starting point is 00:48:31 They were just giving him power. Because he was... Because that's what it is. Yeah, he was, you know, in print, he was named the construction coordinator by the mayor. But truthfully, he was named the construction coordinator by Carlo Gambino. That's who named him the construction coordinator.
Starting point is 00:48:45 You're not going to do construction and coordinate it without going through the mafia in New York City. Yeah. And Carlo Gambino was running the mafia in New York City, so that's who appointed him that. Yeah. That's just a fact. We don't know that as a fact, but we're saying it's maybe.
Starting point is 00:48:56 We're saying it's a- It's called the Chrissy fact. It's a Chrissy fact of the day. Yeah, it's a- It's a CFO day. It's a CFO day. It's a Chrissy fact of the day. But it's possible.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't like other races. He also didn't like poor people. I mean, wanting to keep the Dodgers, like, fuck them. He wanted that. He was the reason they left. He's the main reason the Brooklyn Dodgers left Brooklyn to go to L.A.
Starting point is 00:49:15 is because the new stadium that was proposed by Walter O'Malley, another potato monkey, he refused to give them the land to want to, which is wild that he even had the power to refuse the Brooklyn Dodgers, but he was construction coordinator, appointed by Carl Gambino maybe. And the Brooklyn Dodgers left and went to L.A. Now they're just FFs that can't win because Clayton Kershaw cannot pitch in the big games. But if he was in Brooklyn, I mean, we'd be like, listen, Clayton, either you're going to fucking win these games or your family's going to get hurt.
Starting point is 00:49:42 But in L.A., where everyone's drinking smoothies, you can do what you want and then you fucking just lose. Yeah, he was directly responsible for the Dodgers moving to L.A. Yeah. Because he was being an asshole. He was being an asshole. He didn't want the land. But the land was in Park Slope, guy. No, the original was in Park Slope. The original land was in Park Slope, but we're going to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Originally it was in Park Slope, but then it was over there in Flatbush where they played. I remember where they played. Now there's a fucking Burger King over there. No, now there's a building there. Oh, yeah. And there's a plaque that says that Emmett Field used to be there. My mother was a big Brooklyn Dodgers fan, and she has a heavy Greek accent. Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:14 So his influence did reach outside of New York City. I mean, this guy was a giant of American history in the 20th century. Yes. Other cities hired him To plan their cities Right Portland, Oregon Brought him over In 43
Starting point is 00:50:30 1943 And he started doing his little fucking plans out there Building shit He was also instrumental in Building the interstate highways Yes That was Robert Moses So
Starting point is 00:50:43 And an interesting fact about him Is the kid knew how to drive. He built all these highways and obviously was in bed with the auto lobby and obviously built all these bridges. But the kid did not have a valid driver's license. Wild. So he was, all this time, he knew how to drive, but not legally. He never got a driver's license. He probably had a chauffeur the whole time.
Starting point is 00:51:04 And he had his famous quote, which is wild when he wanted to, when he was defending his forced displacement of poor and minority communities, because he said it was an inevitable part of urban revitalization. He said, I raise my stein, which is wild to just start with that. I raise
Starting point is 00:51:19 my stein to the builder who can remove ghettos without moving people as I hail the chef who can make omelets without breaking eggs. So it's like, that's why Venetia don't eat eggs. It is a hard thing to do. Even now with gentrification, there's people who are having to leave
Starting point is 00:51:36 parts of Brooklyn, parts of the city because they can't afford to rent there anymore. But now you can walk through there without having to worry. It's like, what? There are things you have to do. Right. I just want to make it crystal clear that was Mike that said that and he is of Mexican descent so he can say whatever he wants.
Starting point is 00:51:51 He's not of Mexican descent. He's straight Mexican. Oh, yeah. He's just a Mexican kid. Yeah, he's just, yeah, he's Mexican. Well, I'm not from Mexico. Yeah, he's a Mexican-American. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:59 And he's here for a good time, not a long time. Trump 2020 over the wall. Yeah, the world. I thought you meant diabetes. Oh, yeah, that too. That too. Yeah, as a matter of fact. Or if he gets on a time, not a long time. Trump 2020 over the wall. Yeah, the world. I thought you meant diabetes. Oh, yeah, that too. That too. Yeah, as a matter of fact. Or if he gets on a roof, it's just over.
Starting point is 00:52:09 It's going to be easy to catapult you when you got two less feet. So Moses started to go downhill like in the 60s. It all started to end. But I mean. What, his health or like his? No, his power. I mean, the kid lived till the 80s. I mean, he lived to be 92 years old. I mean, that's fucking wild. But I mean. What, his health or like his? No, his power. I mean, the kid lived till the 80s. I mean, he lived to be 92 years old.
Starting point is 00:52:26 I mean, that's fucking wild. But I mean. He's like a pompous. Yeah. And to think it's very rare for someone to hold this much power over a city and get shit done and be able to move people around and just get things commissioned and done. I mean, he was like the czar of building things in New York. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:42 It's kind of wild. I mean, nowadays, if you want to get something done, there's like all these parties arguing. There's permits. You know, it takes forever. This kid just made shit happen. Well, I mean, it's not a direct thing, but, I mean, really, who built,
Starting point is 00:52:57 the only guy who's built as much stuff as him in this city is probably Donny Boy. Donny Boy built a lot of shit in this city. They're not even close. I know they're not even close. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying as close to him. Nobody's, Donny's probably the closest. shit in this city. They're not even close. I know they're not even close. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying as close to him. Donny's probably the closest.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Trump buildings. I think Trump's probably the loudest, but not even close. Donny doesn't have that many buildings. Yeah, he didn't do any infrastructure. His father built a lot of buildings. Well, no, Donny is fixing the infrastructure. The LaGuardia Airport, all that stuff that's changing, he's all about the infrastructure and the airports.
Starting point is 00:53:22 LaGuardia Airport needs an upgrade. It's kind of gross. The new one's way nicer. Yeah. Yeah. So his reputation, really, and his power started to go down around the 60s. And that was it, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:36 But, you know, he's responsible for the LIRR. Yeah. I mean, he laid everything out. New York, the way you see it, and a lot of modern cities copied it, too. Yeah. Hired him. Like I said, the interstate. I mean, the kid was everywhere.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Yeah. He was everywhere. People just forget that in the early 1900s, people were just walking in the streets. A lot of the streets were still dirt. Yeah. There's just horses and horse shit everywhere. Yeah. People, like cars, couldn't get through.
Starting point is 00:54:01 It took a lot of work to get all that shit done. And it took kind of an asshole to do it. A little thing, too, which is obviously extremely fucked up. If you ever take the Meadowbrook Parkway all the way out to get off towards Jones Beach, you'll notice as you're approaching Jones Beach, there's a lot of bridges that are low that a bus could never get through. And that was Robert Moses on purpose. He did that because he didn't want minorities who frequently took buses and public transportation to be allowed to come out to the beach. They could only come out if they had their own car, which would signify that they had more wealth.
Starting point is 00:54:32 So that's something that, like, you just drive out there and you never even think about that, but it was Robert Moses. It was his racism that caused that. Yeah, there was actually a biography that was written about him that really tarnished his reputation. Before that, a lot of people didn't know about him. Didn't know all these negative things about him.
Starting point is 00:54:53 The book is called The Power Broker. Very famous book. Did you read it? No, but it's a famous book by Robert A. Carroll. You've got to read it. I just need another book to read. Well, it's a 1,200-page book.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Yeah, but I'll just put it up. I'll get it on deck. I'll just put it next to my nightstand. I've got 13 books I'm reading simultaneously. Yeah. So Philip Lepote, who was a columnist, said, Moses' satanic reputation with the public can be traced to that book. Maybe Philip Lepote's going to do
Starting point is 00:55:26 a review on us, too. Yeah, guy. I mean, it's like, the thing is, it's, yeah, this guy... He created Jones Beach, too. I mean, the kid created every... The funny thing about him is, like, you look at something in New York, like a beach, a swimming pool, a building, a bridge, you're like,
Starting point is 00:55:44 at some point, most of it is Robert Moses. He had something to do with it. He did it, or he commissioned it. So it's like, that sucks. You know, I mean, it sucks he was who he was, but it's like, you know. Yeah, I mean, the kid was just obsessed with laying things out and building things.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Yeah. So what are you going to do? So, he was a big lover of swimming, supposedly. Kid's got a swimmer's bottom. He's got a long torso. Yeah, he finally died in West Islip. He died out on the island. The kid loved Long Island.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Yeah, so do you. The same way I can't stay in Ridgewood for too long, you can't stay on Long Island too long. I do not like Long Island. But you're moving up to North Salem, which is just Long Island in Westchester. Yeah, yeah. God, you're coming back to the Ridge.
Starting point is 00:56:26 It's never going to happen. There's no way I can wake up and walk around and just substitute you for Joe DeRosa. So there's plenty of state parks named after Robert Moses. He's got one in Messina. You know where all these places are in Long Island. Yeah, Robert Moses. State Park, Thousand Islands in Messina. It's in Suffolk County. And then you've got Robert Moses State Park in Long Island. Yeah. Robert Moses. State Park. Thousand Islands in Massana. Suffolk County.
Starting point is 00:56:46 And then you got Robert Moses State Park in Long Island. Robert Moses Causeway on Long Island. The Robert Moses Hydroelectric Dam in Lewistown, New York. Shout out Smithtown Water. Yeah. And then the Niagara Scenic Parkway in Niagara Falls, New York was originally named the Robert Moses State Parkway. But they're going to change all those names eventually.
Starting point is 00:56:59 As soon as Seth Simon gets this, it's just all going to be changed. Yeah. He doesn't have a... Is there a school named after him? I'm sure. Oh, yeah. There's a school named after him in North Babylon, New York. Of course.
Starting point is 00:57:10 But this won't – I guarantee you in the next 15 years they'll change his name. It won't be Robert Moses for long. Yeah. During his tenure as chief of the state park system, the parks grew to nearly 2,600,000 acres. to nearly 2,600,000 acres. By the time he left, he had built 658 playgrounds in New York City alone, plus 460 miles of parkway
Starting point is 00:57:29 and 13 bridges. So the kid was just like, he was screwed in and tied into local politics and for some reason wanted to build everything, and he definitely did not like black people.
Starting point is 00:57:41 So that's what it is. Yeah. You hate to see that because the Jews have been through some shit. Yeah. He was a Jewish kid who hated black people. What are you going to do? And you hate to see that because the Jews have been through some shit. Yeah. He was a Jewish kid who hated black people. What are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:57:48 And what are you going to do? We talked about this. It's tribalism, you know? Humans are not meant to live in this utopian coexistence. So it doesn't excuse anything. But at the end of the day, it's like, what do you want, guy? Yeah, I mean. What do you want?
Starting point is 00:58:01 It's just, I don't know. I'm just a pawn in this game, too. I'm just fucking playing the game. The BQE could be better. I mean, what do you think about the final results? The BQE is fucking. How about this? How about this little wild fact about the BQE?
Starting point is 00:58:14 It's a parking lot, the BQE. Ready for this? Yeah. I remember there used to be so, I mean, there still is always traffic on the BQE, but I remember there was so much traffic when you go right under, like, the Manhattan Bridge. Like, right, there's a span of it. traffic when you go right under the Manhattan Bridge. There's a span of it. You go under the Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridges, it runs right under it. And I mean, so much
Starting point is 00:58:30 traffic. My father used to pick me up and take me back to his house on Staten Island, so we had to go that way. And I'm talking about it would take like two hours to get from Ridgewood to Staten Island. Just traffic, traffic, traffic. And there were no cell phones back then, so my dad couldn't even put money on the games. He just had to just deal with it. So we had to get off and he had to call in from a pay phone.
Starting point is 00:58:47 But anyway, then in high school, in Archbishop Molloy High School, shout out Stan, it's St. Anners. That's the name of the team. We had a career day, and an FBI agent came in and talked to us and told us that all that traffic, all the construction workers and all that on the BQE were actually undercover CIA agents, and they were scanning our cars right after 9-11 because they believed that a car could, or a truck, could blow up from the BQE, could blow themselves up, and
Starting point is 00:59:16 then blow up the spans of the Brooklyn-Manhattan Bridge because the BQE goes right under it. Wow. So it was fake traffic. Wow. That they probably still do. Wow. They were never construction workers. Interesting. Yeah.

Right after 9-Eleven, I told you an hour after 9-Eleven actually happened on the actual day, a kid who was a firefighter down in my class, Petey, he threw a garbage can through a convenience store window, but they were Sikhs.
