We're going to talk a little bit about the FCC, but not the FCC that you're thinking about. The FCC we've coined is the... That's who we're going to talk about Is because because I bleed red, white and blue

I love America and I love the Mets. Now, do you love America just because you're from here? Would you love America just the same if you were born in Germany? No, then I would love Germany. Like another man we're going to talk about today, Joseph Goebbels. Yeah, because you know, it's who I think had a good side and I want to explore it. Last 14.

Obviously, JK. J.K. And I mean, J.K. Just kidding? Not J.B.K. Well, no. He had a good side in that, like, he had daughters, and he probably smiled at them a few times. He did. He had daughters, and he had a full family of seven, and he used to cheat on his wife. Think. Look, when you're in the Nazi party, your high level. Yeah. Back then, that was a star, because this is what we're going to talk about today, is they didn't really allow any other stars. No. If you had a nice little following, if you had a nice little vaudeville act, and the chicks went crazy about it. And the chicks went crazy about it.

you, they said, hey, tone it down. Yeah. The high command is the new stars. Yeah. It's me, the fat guy with the star. I mean, they were a crew. They were a crew. They were like the, they were like, the rap pack.

They were like the rap pack. They were like the rap pack. You had Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, the head of the Luftwaffe, Goring. Goering? And then you had Hans Himmler, the head of the SS, who was a, no, what is it? No, Himmler. Heinrich. No, Heinrich Himmler.

Heinrich Himler was the general, I think. Himler, no. It was Goring? No, who was the one. who was the head of the SS with the glasses. Oh, who was that guy? Oh, that guy was a friend. That was Himmler. Yeah, that kid looked Franks. That kid was Franks and beads because you looked a little bit like Himmler.

Nazi high command. Yeah, and then Jesse spelled it C-O-M-A-N-D. The funny thing, too, is I look like Himmler, right? Because I'm like genetically deficient in the face. My eyes are too close together. It looks like gravity's pulling him in. And you look like the guy they were fighting on behalf of. But nobody in that brat pack? No. Let's be honest.

They were a rat pack They had a lot of complaints Yeah, they really did The rat pack They were like Oh my God The Jews They're everywhere

People They had so much complaints And the irony is They were acting like Jews They were blaming other people Oh my goodness And by the way In German it's called

The Uber Commando De Lufat And here's the funny thing Is none of them Looked No Like they all looked Franks

They all looked Franks And we're going to The only thing That made them look cute Was the fucking Unis The Unis was cute

Which lets you know Fashion Is Fashion's power. And then so we're going to talk about, because obviously, you know, what happened last week with Jimmy Kimmel getting censored by the FCC and the head of that name is, his name is Brendan Carr. And it sounds like a roast beef restaurant in Brooklyn, Brennan and Cars. That's who I thought, because at first I saw the news, I said, this guy got canned by Brennan Cars. They got really good roast beef sandwiches and good fountain soda.

Why just stick to roast beef? But this kid, Brendan Carr, who also looks Franks. He looks Frank. Yeah. So he rips, so he, I know a lot of people talked about this last week, so we're not going to get into it all. Even though this week, there will be announcements on if Jimmy gets reinstated or not, so I'm sure that it'll be in the news still. But we really want to just talk about censorship in the past because you know we are the history hyenas and make no mistake, the Nazis censored people big. And the thing that we'll find out that we're going to talk to you about what's scary and what feels like, you know, kind of contemporary now with what's going on. is the Nazis would say to the people,

you're free here, you could say whatever you want. You just can't talk bad about your government. And it feels a little bit, this is what happened last week where they're saying, no, you're free, you could say whatever you want, but you weren't free. Yeah, I mean, I think what makes our situation a little unique. Yeah. Is that I don't think what happened this last week

or whenever you're listening to this happened in a vacuum. Right, right. And I mean a comedy vacuum. Yeah. The Nazis rose to power. That wasn't in a vacuum either, but that was a different thing. Right. I'm talking a comedy vacuum.

Because you got your chain out. I got my chain out there. I'm going to put my chain out. I was like, yeah, take it out. I went to Kay's jewelry and I got it repaired. Yeah, it's just what it is because... This is a cheap chain. Because what happened is it used to make fun of me during the first ride at Fitzrayant is.

It'd say that make fun of me that I'm a chain out guy. And then we broke up and then you missed me. So you started putting your chain out. Because I had to become you a little bit and talk to myself. That's what it is. I look in the mirror. I'd be like, do you look like a kid. You kid today?

Yeah. So that's what happens. You started putting your chain out. Yeah. And but you got your chain out and it's a nice chain. Yeah. But Paul Verzi wouldn't approve. He would say it's too skinny of a row.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you did. You missed me a little bit. What you did is you got fat quick.

Yeah. I got fat quick. And I just, that's what I do. I'm 217. I got a stop. I got fat quick. And I started hanging out with a trans person. That's what I did because I said, I'm just going to become Yonnes and Maurice at the same

comment. Be a fat trans. So what I think is that... Tell me, Codz. I think this is a reaction. Yeah. This feels like an equal but opposite reaction. I mean, everyone likes to forget

that it was just like five, seven years ago. Right. Well, I think you're... Way song she ain't. Lad of 14. Sorry about that, Nick. What I love... What I love about that one is you really got to know

that the Greeks, you really got to know that that's the best. name for Greeks? Yeah, it's just what they are. The Greeks just, everything is about to sea. Yeah, I mean, we take the octopus from the sea, we're just seafaring people. You just seafaring, and then we just became shippers. It's just what

it is. Yeah. You can also have a little bit of a swarthy look. They'll have a little bit of a swarthy look, and it's just what it is and it's what you... It also sounds like it would be a great restaurant. It would be, yeah. Are you going to... Yeah, yeah, it's what it is. The octopus is outrageous.

Yeah, yeah. I like that, yeah. So it was just a couple years ago that they were doing this a little bit to other people on the other side of the aisle. Right, right, right. It's kind of like, uh, what, silent, they're all, everybody's eating their own words. Right. Right. Yeah.

Nobody was yelling about freedom of speech for Roseanne. No. I mean, people could have, you could have easily get, hey, look, she's a mentally unstable older woman. Right. You know. Right. She went on Twitter and she said something racist. It's like, yeah.

Yeah. Her fans don't mind. No. They love it. loved it. They retweeted it. Uh, every place was banning the president of the United States on social media. Right. And it was, you know, there were people in the government making, you know, outward, they were, they were outwardly saying, like, this has to be stopped. This has to be censored. Yeah. Of course, the laptop story, although I made fun of it on my show. It's like, laptop,

for a while. It was like, laptop, laptop, laptop, laptop, laptop. Like, it was like, yeah, fucking it was the worst thing in the world. But yeah, they did suppress that and a couple other stories. There has been this sort of, there used to be this call to cancel like everyone. Right. I remember there was that little kid running around going like, everyone's a Nazi. They were at the stand. Yeah. These guys were at the stand and Gavin McGuinness went to the bathroom in the stand.

And somebody else was in the same room. Yeah, that got old for the population. They said, we're not going to do that anymore. We were in that Zichy's for a little while. And then now, for every action, there's an equal-at-opposite reaction. Always. That's how extremes work. Yeah.

So now the shoe's on the other foot. and Jimmy Kimmel's Jesus Christ and he has to be saved We have to save Yeah and he have to save Because we have a show and develop He's better Say Jimmy

I think that's the greatest thing That happened to Jimmy I mean right now He is like He's like everyone's fucking Going to his back Sure you don't You don't want to go through

Something like this of course But I mean Do you not though Most people have his back Yeah but I mean You know It's like everyone's talking about him This is great

Right now It's like He's become the counterculture icon Right Where he's become the $16 million a year counterculture. Right. Where he's like, look, we can't let this guy have his livelihood taken from him. Yeah, this is unfair.

This is government intervention. Yeah, intervention. And Brendan Carr. See, because the thing is, too, I didn't learn, I didn't know much about, I mean, I knew about the FCC, you heard of it, but I wasn't, I never thought about it. Like, oh, these networks have a license, ABC, NBC, CBS broadcasting license. So in a way, you know, and we'll talk about how this ties into the Nazi Germany. But in a way, this is American propaganda networks.

Like, these are the broadcasting, the government-owned networks. The FCC kind of owns them. They don't own Netflix or Comedy Central or History I ain't as YouTube. Well, what they do is they, you know, it's a regulatory body to make sure that monopolies don't happen. They break things up. Hey, you can't say this. You can't say that.

You know, children are watching. And that's kind of what the president appoints the head of the FCC will always be leaning which way the president. is pretty much always yeah well kind of yes pretty much um but you know what nobody's talking about somebody else who's being censored right now by the middle east FCC oh okay who why is there no country why are we not tim dillon is right that is essentially the middle east FCC and there are really clamping down on his free speech yes they why is nobody upset about that i good you know it's like we cherry pick what we're that with and in protest of that i'm not going

I'm not going now. Comedy does threaten people in power because people in power depend on narratives. Narratives. They depend on narratives. So this problem's always been around. And a great example of that is, for some reason, one of the most entertaining parts of history is World War II.

I mean, when you talk about ratings in history, I mean, the history channel lived off of fucking Nazis. Nazis. Oh, my God. Well, I don't know why they're so cool, but I think it really had to do a lot with the boss uniform. It's just what it is. And it's like, that is a good point.

Like, any time Netflix or any of these companies don't have content, you just go back and you just find another colorized video and you just make a whole 19 episodes about the same battle we've seen 100 times, but now it's just a little bit more color. Yeah, exactly. So the next episode, the next series should be a little bit more World War II in color. Yeah, I mean, World War II and the Nazis is basically like the Fast and Furious franchise. It's what it is. We just keep making the hits. Yeah, yeah. And just like in the Fast and the Furious, just like World War II.

Two, the Asians lose. Waysonciane. Yeah, the Eastern Hemmys gonna lose, Bick. It was kind of nice that we brought the Samarise to their knees. They were like, we got the sword, and we just did, we did the Indiana Jones. We said, we got the gun. Gun. Yeah.

You guys haven't invented a microwave yet. So, cause. Because I found a cute, cute little article. Let me, let me pull it up here, but I found a cute little article from the 1930s that I sent to you. Because you know me, that's what I like to do on its slow. Sunday is I like to go back and I like to read the New York Times from 1938 to 1942. Now let me ask you, is the article as cute as the cappuccino with oat milk? It's no, yeah, I was in the, I was in the deli today getting, uh, some food for the

that's not a deli. That's just, that moment right there shows you that you can take the kid out of Queens, but you cannot take the Queens out of the fucking kid. Yeah. All right. This fucking trash monkey from Queens just called that fancy fucking spot in Manhattan a deli. Now, you've been in there. Is that a deli? No, it is that. No.

That's a freak. Yeah. That's, I know, they serve avocado toast with goat cheese. So that's not a deliaga, the delis do. Does it deli in Queens? Does any deli and queens do avocado toasts? No, they just don't. Yeah.

You can't, no. You see the clientele walking in there. They don't go. Nobody woke up in their $4,000 a month rent apartment in this area and went, let's go downstairs to the deli. No, they did not say that. They did. No. But your mom did say, Christopher, can you go down to the deli and get Eileen another pack of new points?

Yeah, that did happen. That's what I... We're products of our environment. Yeah. And I, and my whole family, my mother's side, came over to my house this weekend and we had a nice time and I got pumpkin beers and they were a big hit. And some members of my family got real drunk, got real nice and toasted with pumpkin beers. And they went in the pool and they started talking a lot of shit about another side of my family. And they didn't know that my security cameras picked up their audio.

and I will play it on the Patreon So, so, because what I like to do Is I like to go back and just read some stuff from history Because I think a lot of times we say on this podcast a lot Is you know, people think that anything that's happening right now It's like this is the first time it's happening And we've never been here before And almost everything that's happening in the news

We've been here before Except for AI taking our jobs and over the human race That's one thing that's like, whoa But everything else with this FCC Jimmy Kimmel stuff So in 19 February 3rd, this is February 4th, 1939, propaganda, this is from the, this is from, because sometimes I just like to read, I do mostly read old New York Times articles, but sometimes I like to go and read some articles from the Berlin Times and the 1930s to see what they said, but they said propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels today ended the, well, this is the New York Times, but propaganda minister Joseph Gerbils today ended the professional careers of five Aryan actors and cabaret announcers by expelling them from the Reichs Chamber of Culture on the grounds that, quote, in their public appearances, they displayed a lack of any positive attitude toward national socialism, Nazis, and there with caused grave annoyance in public and especially to party

comrades. So these people that they that they fired were German stage comedians who survived previous chamber of culture purges and still dared to indulge in political witticism. So that means that they were warned already because that's the thing. Even in come, even in Germany, there were still comedians trying to push the envelope. And Werner, Werner Fink was one of them who Janus is going to talk about, Peter Sauget, and then the three rulings. So these were the three, you know, big people. And then the details of the crimes of which they were accused, Dr. Gerbils mentions that they made these political criticisms about the colonial problem, the four-year plan, and Chancellor Hitler's monumental building program. And one of them even raised the question.

One of the comedians in 1939 raised the question of whether there was any humor left in Germany. So that's a German guy saying that in the 1930s. And of course, history would say no. There wasn't much humor left in Germany at that time. So Dr. Goebbels says that the gestures that they had, the poses, and the physical characteristics that they made fun of did not go in line with national socialist leaders and that they made fun of the country too much. And he said that national socialist proved during their struggle for power that they had a keen sense of humor. So this is Goebbels, the head of the propaganda of the Nazis, saying that the Nazis proved that they do have a good sense of humor and that they would kill, and that they, a sense of humor, that they had a keen sense of humor that could kill opponents with ridicule. So they were saying, we don't want to hurt anybody.

We'll kill you with kindness and jokes. Yeah, they're saying we're not funny. Let me try a joke here. One cooks well and so not. See, we have a sense of humor The one with the Frisbee tastes a better You see, they're saying we're not funny We're so funny

Yeah, and we said Oh no, how come you're not behind bars in the zoo? You see, we're funny Wayes on Cheyenne They were like, what's the problem? We have a great sense the humor. It's what it is.

Says the Greeks want to be human with what's the problem. So it says But as now Gerbil said, but National Socialism proposes to remain in power 2,000 years. It has neither the time nor the patience

to apply that method to the miserable literati, so the miserable literature. And then anti-germ, and then he said, if the anti-German press of Paris, London, and New York, Dr. Gerbil says, or the Democratic governments in Western Europe should now again complain about the lack of freedom of opinion in Germany. It does not matter. For after all, during the last year, the Fuhrer reconquered 10 million Germans for the Reich. Right. So that's the thing is what was interesting to me about reading that article

was, oh, if you were a German or anyone sitting in the 1930s, you were saying, yes, see, there's no problems that they're saying everything's fine but then things were not fine yeah so because i always thought oh the people were just kind of going along with it and the germans were always presenting themselves as we're the nazis and you can't but they weren't they were saying no we have a sense of humor yeah we're funny guys yeah we're funny yeah did you hear about the one about who was hiding the journalist basement and i said was that a rattle noise downstairs and he said must be the boiler and i went downstairs and i said oh it was the boiler so boiler so boiler is not working so I

Boiler and burned him to turn it back on It's a good one no Waysoane Now my boiler won't turn out anymore Because it says it's too cold It says I can't work in the cold condition It's his I can't work in the cold condition

This is funny I always get a little nervous when Yeah about when you go to Saudi Arabia I just get a little nervous when governments get involved with comedy or entertainment or when entertainers get involved with government. It's always like cops and robbers coming together. They're not supposed to be together. You shouldn't know an entertainer's political candidate.

No. I don't know. I don't care. And also it's like those two shall never meet. It's like we talk about them. Comedy's all about making fun of what's in power. And you know, you don't want to. It's like the old.

most famous line. It's like, remember, they're not your friends. Remember what if you're doing the article, the kid, and he's talking to Philip Seymour Hoffman, and I've seen Philip Seymour Hoffman is saying, they're not your friends. You're there to write a fucking article, tell the truth. Yeah. But there's no stakes there. It's about music. But with comedy, I always get a little uncomfortable with that. And I think comedy is important, and it's a good gauge where your country is at on the totalitarian scale. Because comedians, yeah, comedians say inappropriate things. That's what jokes are. Yeah.

Right? Jokes aren't saying the appropriate thing. Nobody gets in trouble in class for saying the right thing at the right time. You get in trouble for saying the wrong thing. It's all timing. You know, that's what sarcasm is. That's what, you know, we say a lot of jokes. We love everybody, but we're having a good time.

Right. I'm trying to make you laugh by saying the inappropriate thing. And when you're allowed to say the inappropriate thing, it's a good gauge on whether you're free or not. Right. So I said the inappropriate thing. I said the thing you don't like. So, and everyone's okay with that and allows it to happen.

That lets you know. hey, we're still free. Once people start going, that was inappropriate. I didn't like this. Then we're starting to flirt with that fascist tendency that's just in humans. We just have it. We want to control other people. We don't want people

to live their own lives. We want them to be just like us. There's something in us that just always creeps up once in a while where we go, we need control, where's the people, there's the Jews. And we just got to kick them out. Because we have this instinct in us to just

fucking control. Yeah. So here's the thing with the Nazis. So they did allow some humor, okay? But only if it

supported the regime. So they had to do, they had comedy films and cabaret skits. I like that even Chats Chabit calls them skits. Skits that ridiculed

Jews, communists and foreign enemies. Carl Valentin, he was a popular comedian, he managed to survive by avoiding political material

and focusing only on absurdist humor though he was often under suspicion. So actually, just if you go back up, Joseph Goebbels, if we, yeah, the research we did on, so Goebbels, he was in, I didn't, do you know much about him? Goebbels, other than he's the propaganda minister, and a fucking squeak.

Yeah, he was a squeak big. He was a kid you could fucking toss right up into the air and fucking have him hit the ceiling and bounce down. Well, you know what's an interesting thing about the kid is he was born in 1897 into a lower middle class Catholic family. The kid was a Catholic kid. Which is wild. So the one side of my family would have, you know, they would have really liked him and said the kid, You know, he's trying his best. Yeah.

So they're just having a pumpkin beer in the pool saying, you know, you know, it's nice to be up here. Yeah. The kid, you know, he's big on Mary. I'm big on Mary. Yeah. Catholics are big on Mary. Big.

They love Mary. You can't. She's a virgin Mary. Yeah. And one of my aunts was calling, you know, she was kind of going off. She was a little buzz, but she was calling Zohran Mamdani, mom Duffy. She kept saying, I'm not voting from Mom Duffy. And I said, all right, don't vote from you.

You won't see his name is Palopods. She's like, I ain't fucking letting Mom Daffy in. She was like, I, she, you know who all my aunts are voting for? Curtis Lee Wach. They were like, they were having a conversation. They're like, I know he's, you know, out of all of them, he's the best. Yeah, he's the best. Why, he protects the police.

He's not big on, he's not big on, they're not big on, um, Cuomo. They don't like Cuomo. Hold on. And we'll be right back after this. The Saudis are calling me. Because I want to ask you a question. Can I ask you something? Ask me.

Who do you trust for your daily nutrients? I don't eat vegetables, so I always do AG1. Yeah, see, AG1, because I literally like them. I told you about them. I said, you're going to drink this green stuff, and you're going to feel good, and you're going to look good, and you're going to smell good. And AG1, athletic greens, their clinically backed formula is now flavor-packed with new delicious flavors because they got tropical berry, they got citrus, and it's just awesome, okay, because they got probiotic strains and 75 vitamins and minerals, because you know I'm always talking about probiotic.

They go to great lengths to continually invest in rigorous peer-reviewed clinical trials to make sure that their product gets you nice and juiced up.

You know what it is too? You know what I like about AG1? When I put it in with my water. Yeah. Well, that's another way to do it is you can ingest it. They have never said that you couldn't.

But they didn't say. you can't do that and it's not in the it's not in disclaimers no so if you want to put it in a syringe you know like that and you want to put in your butt and do that that's just up to you yeah but i would suggest drinking it right because you know what i like to do because a lot of times i don't drink my water in the morning but when i have it in my agey one i put it in i mix it in with water and then i drink it all on the way into work and it keeps me full for longer that's what i like to do is because

So Goebbels, so, you know, he's a Catholic kid, as I said. you know, I didn't, you know, like many Germans, he felt betrayed by World War I, the Treaty of Versailles, so he was always mad, and the kid was actually born with his foot. He actually was born with feet like me. He had a kid had a flipper. He had a club foot because his feet, and then they tried to, his feet were going the wrong way. That's really what happened. His feet were going the wrong way, and they did a surgery to try to put his feet the right way, but his one foot just would never go the right way. So the kid had one leg longer than the other. So it stunted his growth, and then he had really, bad lungs. He just had all these health issues. So he was just angry at the world and he couldn't fight in World War I because of his club foot and his lungs. So instead he became like, you know, he worked like in the offices. And that's just as a German kid, you know, girls just don't like that. Girls are like, you know, that's gross. Like you're basically a little bitch boy. So in, so he's, he's all angry. You know, he sounds genetically superior to me. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so what happened was too is at that time

he was good the kid was good with the gift of gab because at that time they were basically looking at people who couldn't really work for the Reich and especially a man who couldn't physically work like you were just a useless eater that's what they called you like you were you were literally just taking food from the Reich and you're useless but he was able to talk his way into

a relatively higher position in the Nazi party because the kid just you know he learned the kid just speak so and when he heard Hitler speak in 1924 he's because he was a little skeptical he got completely devoted. The kid was like borderline sexually obsessed with Hitler, like wanted to bang him out big. That's from the research. I was like, wow, the kid really loved him. Because if you're obsessed

with a guy, it's just what it is. A little gay. He was obsessed with a guy. If you said, I love another guy. I love another guy. I love another guy. Yeah. He's not your brother. He's not your dad. Yeah. Then you're a gay guy. Just a gay, gay guy. And it's the way, it's kind of like, Gerbil's obsession with Hitler was like kind of how you feel about Ethan Hall. and how I feel about Tom Hardy. I do feel that way about Ethan Hawke. Yeah, if Ethan... I love your work.

Because if Ethan Hawke, if Ethan Hawke threw on a uniform and started saying we got to push people and others, you would start doing it. You would say it. You would say, before midnight! You just start yelling at our movie. I loved it. And that's how you have to be when you're around Ethan Hawks. I can't be like, what's up, because I got to go... Do you think Ethan Hawk would ever call it a deli?

No, he would never call it a deli. Because you like Ethan Hall. He'd go, I'm going down to the brasserie. Yeah. And I said that wrong. What do they call it in French? Brasserie. If Ethan Hawk was ever missing, I would have to tell the police to check your basement.

Check my hot tub because I got him chained in there and I just want to sit with a minute. I would say that he might have him chained to his slide that he got from Best and Backyards. What I would like to do is, I would like to take Ethan Hawk and just put him in the hot tub and chain him there and just talk to him. Yeah, you lie. You can't leave him. Why did you kidnap Ethan Hawks? Because they just want to be around him. Yeah, that's what it is.

Yeah. So, yeah, he would just be doing lines for his movies. and you would just be jerking off with the Marisa Wig. Okay. So the kid Gerbils was, the kid Gerbils was nice with his words. I mean, if he had a Twitter account, he would be nice. He was nice. Gurbils, the minister of, eventual minister of propaganda, was nice with his words.

So he could speak, right? And then Hitler appointed him, a regional leader for Berlin, where the Nazis didn't really have a lot of support. This is 1926. So we got 15 years before the Nazis, right? They're revving up. They're revving up. This is when the Nazis were revving up. So Gerbils was able to kind of convince people who were on the fence about the Nazis to come to their side.

And why he did that by he exploited modern media, posters, newspapers, radio in ways that most rivals underestimate it. So this whole idea of propaganda through the American movies, as we have it today, like there's always some political message in a movie nowadays, frickin' snow white. Everything's got the message. Gerbils was the first guy to do that. He was like, oh, everybody else goes after, you know, politicians' propaganda, post. he was like the movies people are watching the movies let me start putting some of our propaganda in the movie yeah it's called rambo one through whatever when one guy who's about five six yeah he kills about a thousand russian communists yeah yeah remember that one yeah and he's

just killing all these and you know you know it's crazy about that rambo movie because how times changed in the beginning of the original rambo movie i think it's one or two they're thanking al qaeda and they're saying they're protecting al qaeda because they were on their side back that's right Yeah, you remember Rocky, too? I can change. We can all change. And then the communists are just like, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that's what you call propaganda. It's propaganda. So what he did was when he became the propaganda chief in 1929, he had these mass, he organized mass rallies, just like George Soros. He organized mass rallies. They had these big banners and torches and music and a fun event that on the radio, which he called the eighth grade power, he entered every home. And he basically just talked about how great. Hitler and the Germans were. And then he came up with slogans and symbols.

Einvalk, a rike, ein furrow. And he made the swastika omnipresent. So Goebbels was the one that said, let's put that swastity everywhere. And the funny thing about the swastika is it was like, isn't it like a Hindu symbol of peace?

Yes. And they were able to manipulate it for their own. They just like, did they just like the way it looked? Yeah. So they didn't do it because it was the Hindu. No, they did it because they thought it was cute.

They just thought it was cute. Yeah. The kids had taste. Yeah. The head taste, which is, you know, which is weird.

because German's culture is not usually that cute. Yeah, it's just not cute. But at that point, Hugo Boss Unis really, I mean, if you saw Goring, right, which one was the fat one? That was Goring? He was a fatty. If you saw Goring just walking down the street, are you going to say, I'm going to do what that guy tells me to do it? No way, because he had a big fat ass and he was just weird looking. But it tells you how important fashion is.

Oh, right, because if he's walking in that uni, you go in the uni, yes. Who is this guy? Yes. You know, if there was a fashion show for Nazis? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you wouldn't even notice that he was a fat slob talking about superior genes where you're going like, look at you, dog. Yeah. Nine times out of ten, I'm never going to follow a guy who's named Herman. I'll never follow a guy named Herman into any. If your name's Herman, you suck. I mean, look at goring. I mean, he just looks like a better version, a looking version of Stavi. Yeah, Herman. So, so. Stavie with hair. Yeah, I mean, he looks, but, you know, when he's younger, a kid looks cute. But so what's interesting about gerbils, so here's, because things like the.

The way, history, like, there's these tipping points where you're like, it always comes from some type of, like, just human flaw, right? Some type of minute human thing. So Goebbels just, you know, finally gets a wife because he starts to get some, he starts to get some notoriety being his propaganda, being Hitler's propaganda chief. And this is years before World War II, right? So Goebbels has a wife. They have like seven kids because he never got any female attention, so he's just banging

the same chick all day. But then he starts to get more and more famous because he puts the propaganda stuff into the movie. So who does he meet with all the German actresses of the day, right? The big actresses. So he starts having affairs with the actresses, right? So he's this family Catholic guy, which is what the Reich wants, right? It's all good. He then goes to Hitler and he says, I want to divorce my wife and I want to run away to Japan with one of these actresses. And then, yeah, and then Hitler says, you can't do that. And he goes, no, I want to go to Japan. And then I'm going to Japan with this one and I'm going to leave my family behind and the right can take care of him.

And then Hitler says, no, you're not, you basically can't do that. You're too important to me. And they start to have their, you know, again, Gerbils idolizes Hitler. They start having a, he starts screaming at Adolf Hitler in front of other high command Nazi people and secretaries. And he did it like in an office in the middle of Berlin and he's getting screamed at. And they said, Hitler loved Gerbils too. And so he was like, what?

So he said, go with your wife for three months. three months try to make it work with this bitch and you're not going to Japan and he actually took the actress that Goebbels loved and he deported her to Prague. He said you're out of here because you're making Gerbils go nuts. He's already fucking nuts. I need him out there telling

everybody how great Nazis are and so... It sounds like a lover's spat. That's what I'm saying. Like a triad. So Gerbils, we're going to call him Joey G. Yeah. So Joey G says, okay I'm going to try to make a work of my wife. He tries for a week and he's just vomiting all

over a pussy. He can't make it work. Because he's just a gay kid and he wants Hitler's cocking his mouth thick. So he says, I can't make it work. And then what happened was because he had the screaming match with Hitler, everybody starts to say, Adolf included, because they used to go to Hitler's house for dinner all the time, all the Nazi high command parties. Gerbils is starting to get ostracized. He's starting to get extricated from the Nazis. Hitler doesn't want him around. The high commander's trying to say, Gerbils is getting kind of crazy. So Joseph Gerbils is sitting there, stewing, blaming it on his wife. I'm sure the wife just got a couple of one whose, and that's just what it was back then.

I'm not for it, but it's just the reality of the situation. The wife got tuned up a little bit, and I'm sorry that that happened. But she did get tuned up. I mean, throughout history, I mean, women got tuned up. Women got tuned up. They got tuned up. So, you know, basically, Gerbil says, I need a way back in. I need a way to get back into Hitler's good grace.

He says, I have to show him that I'm important. So what this Gerbil's turn his propaganda to, attacking the Jew. this whole idea of the Jews being the problem really came off the heels of gerbils wanted to get back in with Hitler and he said I'm going to do something big so he comes up with this idea of a movie called the Eternal Jew which

That was the name of it He called this movie The Eternal Jew so he comes up with an idea called the Eternal Jew which he probably lifted from Ford because Ford had wrote the book called the International Jew So this kid made the Eternal Jew, and it was relentless propaganda, and he inflamed public hatred of Jews, and he set the stage for the complicity in the Holocaust. But that movie did big numbers in Germany, and Hitler said, this kid's got something, because he came out the Eternal Jew, and they would have screenings of it, and they would watch the Eternal Jew and they would watch the Eternal Jew and they would watch Eternal Jew and they would watch Eternal Jew, and then they said they would go, it's only, it's not funny, of course,

the people, but they said they would go out after they saw the Eternal Jew and they would just start beating up Jews in the street and it's fucked up. Yeah, it's fucked up, but it's just, it's crazy. Well, but that's what propaganda did. Like, you remember the Rocky movies? Remember Eddie Murphy had that joke about the Rocky movies? Yeah. He said the Italian guys would watch and they go out and be like, he did, remember that? Yeah. And this play for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the Italian kids would leave Rocky and go

like, I'm going to go fucking beat some. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what propaganda does. It really tugs at your heart strength. tugs your heartstrings, and it's bad, but basically this whole idea of gerbils, this whole idea, like if Gerbils wouldn't have, some historians believe if that didn't happen to Gerbils where he had the fling with the German actress and he didn't need to get motivated to get back in Hitler's good graces, he would have never created this type of propaganda, and maybe the Holocaust doesn't happen in the way it happens, or maybe there's another way it happens, but the direct, that, you can tie it directly because these anti-Semitic campaigns,

this is when it started to rev it up. And then Hitler got so comfortable with Goebbels that he started, he went from zero to hero. Goebbels then started speaking for Hitler in public. And Goebbels is the one. Hitler just gave him authority because Hitler started smoking so much crystal meth during the 1940s, late 1930s, 1940s, when Gerbils made the Eternal Jew. It was Gerbils was the one who declared war on Russia. Gerbils was the one in 1941 who said, we're going to war with Russia now, and then told Hitler like a day later. Because he was methed out.

So what you're proposing here, this is a great. great episode where you can find out why the Holocaust happened. It happened because of a woman. Yeah, because of a woman. This is a great way to blame the Holocaust not a woman. A woman, yeah. And then the name of this episode is Joey G's Holocaust. She's L.E. G.'s Holocaust.

So he was, you're basically saying he was just trying to impress Hitler. Yes, because he was like, look how much I hate the Jews. He's like, I don't believe you do. Yeah. And he's like, look, it's this movie. Yeah. They are beating up Jews. He goes, I don't know.

Because wherever you look, the Nazis, the two biggest leaders, and we've spoken about this before in the podcast, are both gay. They're both motivated by gay. You had gerbils who said, I love Hitler so much, so I'm just going to get gay and make the eternal Jew for him. It's for him, because I just wanted to be back in his good graces. And then Hitler saw the American soldier in World War I when he was in the fog of war, blonde hair, blue-eyed, beautiful American soldier, and said, that's the Uber Manch. That's who I want all Germans to look like, even though I don't look like that, and I have a micro penis, and I'm probably half Jewish. So it was both gay-motivated on both sides. So the Nazis.

I mean, you know, Nietzsche was big at that time. He came up with the Uber Manch. They took that. They perverted it. Do you think Hitler in that meeting and all the other high command were going like, what's up was this guy, bros before hoes? Like, what's that was him? He's, you know.

Yeah. I mean, it would have been a nice episode of Guy Code 1933, Germany. Yeah. Like, you know, it's this guy. He wants to go to Japan. You don't do that. No, no, it's, but it's bros before hos. Yeah.

Bro's before hos, but this guy, Joey G, he's going like, yeah, I love this girl. I'm going to Japan. We're going to go to Geishishers and we're going to enjoy the samurai swords and going, no, you have to, your friend, you have to put your friends first. You let your pussy get in the way of the thousand year, right? Yeah. So basically, Joey G almost let a girl come in between the mission of racial purification. Yes, that's what it is. Can't have that in guy code.

Can't have that in guy code? That's not guy code. And then, of course, as it all ends for Joseph Goebbels, you know, they go through the war, Hitler dies, and then he basically just cyanide poisons himself, his wife and his kids. Yeah, he killed his family. He killed his whole family. Yeah. Just what is.

He did a little Chris Benoit. Maybe it had CTE, Gerbils. Yeah. You don't know. You don't know. Did Gerbils have CTE is the question. Maybe he had a parasite that was eating his brain. Yeah.

Maybe Hitler just did all this because he had unchecked syphilis. Yeah. What if these guys were just neurodivergent? Yeah. And they weren't getting the proper care. Yeah. He was the Reich Minister of Propaganda from 33 to 30 to 45, and he oversaw all film, theater, cabaret, and radio. He used radio as a weapon. Yeah, yeah. So he was all in the censorship and licensing.

Performers had to be approved by the Reich Chamber of Culture. So unauthorized comics could work. You couldn't be a freelance. Yeah. You couldn't just be working for myself. No. No. You had to be authorized.

You have to have a, like, a license to work for the right. You have to always be a state-sponsored, comedian. And anti-Nazi jokes could be prosecuted. And this was called Weiser Kirsten-Usten-Sel. Right. So it's basically like you could do jokes, but they had to, in some way, ridicule Jews, communists, or foreign enemies. So I couldn't do, so I could do some of my bits about, you know, my wife and kids. But at just the end, I would just have to call her fucking.

Basically, the only podcast that would be allowed right after. the Werner, Germany would be the history hyenas. It's just what it is. They would look at us and say, this is the guys, they know what they're doing. We like this. We even like the H-H. It's a, you know. It's a wild acronym to have for a podcast, H.H. With your face?

Yeah. You're going, what's that H-H? Yeah, and I'd be safe, but they would always, the people Nazi, the Nazi high command would always probably come in just with a little burner and just say, can we just burn here? It doesn't look like. This one looks good. Zepot Mexican. We have to get rid of him. Yeah, they just start fucking light.

Yep. So, uh, oh yeah, before that, let's go take a break before we get into Werner Fink and the rest of Joseph Gribles. And here's, uh, an ad probably from avocado mattress. You fucks. Cause I got a Lucy in my mouth right now. I'm a nicotine. Cause.

Nice guy. I've been calling you a Lucy Goosey because you love Lucy because you're a kid that you've told me. You've told me. You said, you know what one thing I love beyond, you said, I love the values of the United States of America. 100% nicotine. I do love it. You told me that on the phone the other day.

You said, I love 100% nicotine. You love always being tobacco-free, and you love those Lucy breakers with the nicotine pouches because you like. What you like is an extra surprise. I like a little explosion of flavor in my mouth and that. Each pouch holds a capsule that can be broken. You just snap it with your teeth. That's what I do.

And it releases extra flavor and hydration. What I look about Lucy is you just sign up and they send it to you so you don't go to the gas day. Because I get a Jonesing at 3 in the morning and I hate when I see that I'm out. I like to plan and know. that I need to be ahead. Exactly, because it's like, you know, I love these Lucy nicotine pouches because like you said, you got that extra surprise in the mouth. And it's like, sometimes you can't just go down to a glory hole at 4 a.m. Sometimes you can't. But you can just

crack open to Lucy. You can crack over to Lucy. The flavors are great. I like espresso. It's like having coffee with my coffee. I have a coffee. And then I have an espresso loose. And then you sing a little Sabrina Carpenter. You go, that's me. espresso. And I triple up that way. Yeah. So what you got to do is right now go to lucy.com slash hyenas. Use the promo code hyenas to get 20% off your first order. Lucy has a 30-day refund policy if you change your mind. Again, that's lucy.co and use

the code hyenas to get 20% off. Here comes the fine print. Lucy products are only for adults of legal age and every order is age verified. Warning, this product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. So

your joke could be policed if it was quote unquote undermining military morale, which was sometimes punished by imprisonment or even death. It's what it is. So, I mean, you didn't want a bomb. Yeah, yeah, they would probably, they would not love, uh, go and see some comedy. Germans, I don't think would love the American comedians of today.

No, he'd have a tough time with that. Um, and there was a few comedians that were pretty popular, um, before the Nazis rose to power. And as they rose to power, that, um, got taken off the air. Yeah. Can we call it taken off the air? Yeah, he got taken off the air. They got taken off the air, and by taking off the air, I mean later deported and murdered at Auschwitz, which in Germany they called Taken Off the Air.

So, Kurt Geron, who was a popular cabaret comedian and actor, and he appeared actually he was so popular, he appeared with Marlene Dietrich, who was a famous German actress. He appeared in the movie Blue Angel with her. He was banned from performing in 1933 because he was Jewish. and he was later deported and murdered in Auschwitz. Then you had Fritz Grunbaum. If you have the name Baum in your name, make a run for the border.

Yeah, it's what it is. Yeah, I would have, if I was around, my act would have been like, if you have Baum or blot, or green, bird, if you have a berg, a blout, or a bomb, make a run for the border. You're out of here. You're out of here. So Fritz Grownbaum was a Vienn, Viennese.

cabaret starcies he's from Vienna love Vienna remember we went to Vienna cute are we gonna go back to Germany we're gonna move there cuz do you seriously

want to go back to Germany I love Vienna where Mozart's from I want to go back to Germany and stay in the same hotel and do the same October Fest and have the same exact trip I just want to go back at time

I want it to do over but this time we're gonna do it just a little bit classier because we were just staying in the fireman's corner should we seriously next year should we honestly seriously get our agents

to just book us like just a couple of nights in Europe and just do like a live pot out there. Absolutely. Freaking Lutely. Let's do it.

Absolutely. So he was one of the wittiest Jewish comedians in between World War I and World War II. And in 1938, he was deported and he died at Dachau. So they were sending him to different ones. Yeah. You know? They were lighting them up all. They were lighting them all up.

One went to Auschwitz, another one went to Dachau. Then Paul Morgan, he was the co-founder of Cabaret de Comical in Berlin, which is cabaret and comics, whatever, comedy, and he was banned in 33, so a little earlier, and he was deported to Buckingwald. That's another concentration camp, right? Yeah. Which one did we go to? Docow.

We went to Docow. Yeah. Cute gift shop there. There was cute gift shop. Yeah, remember there was these European kids on Snapchat, and then they got yelled up by the tour guide. Yeah, you don't really want to make content there. Yeah, but people do.

People do. And then Warner Fink, this is the guy that you really want to talk about. Warren and Fink was an interesting guy. He wasn't Jewish. So that means you have a shot. Right? It means you have a shot. Shot at life.

Yeah. But he was a... Just asking for a shot, coach. Just put me in, coach. Yeah. We'll call him the Rudy. Yeah. He's the Rudy of comedians because we were rooting for him to get in the game and live.

Yeah, I just wanted to say my local high school varsity team played this weekend. I went to the game and watched it. It was very close to the coach. It's on the sidelines. And I heard there was a big tackle. on one of them, and then I heard one of the players say, yeah, I bet you felt that and you du wreck. No, I mean, it's kind of racist, but I mean,

it's just because his du reg was coming out of his helmet, but it got a laugh from the whites and the blacks on the side. Right, right. Yeah. Yeah. So, Warner Fink, he was, and also his style, Warner Fink. What was his style? He couldn't, he was so subtle, you couldn't really pin

anti-Nazi jokes on him. So it was a good comedian. He was really good. Fred and the needle. So he would do the, subtle anti-Nazi jokes, but in 1935, Goebbels shut him down, shut his cabaret down, and here's the thing about him. He was very popular. So he was interesting because he was this kind of tight rope walk comedian, he couldn't pin down. He would make, a lot of his punchlines were

in the pauses, so he would say things, and then the audience. So Goebbels thought he was very dangerous because he figured out a way to say it without staying. I see what you mean, which is that's where most of the danger lies. Yeah, and he was very popular. The people, people liked him. Right. So Goebbos was like, how do I handle this guy? He's like, I don't want to make a martyr out of him because of his popularity. So I don't handle this guy.

So he was arrested and sent to a concentration cap. So they tried to go with the old formula. Yeah. They went with network TV. Right. And they're like, we're just going to throw him in a concentration camp and throw him in the oven. But then the people were like, we like this guy. And so Gobo was like, I don't want to make a martyr out of him.

So they released him and they kept him under surveillance. Okay. So, and then he was actually. forced to go and be part of like the entertainment for the troops so he actually survived by going and doing like you know telling jokes to the troops and I think he bent a little bit and he did what he had to do because the kid lived throughout the end after the war and then right after the war he went right back to anti-nazic jokes so right he's a guy people should know about yeah he's kind of like a comedic hero his name was werner think right and the kid died did he wind up in the u.s? I think he died

old age after that. There was a couple other ones like Carl Valentin who was a Bavarian comic. He wasn't formally banned but his absurdist pessimistic humor clashed with Nazi ideals of healthy German optimism. So they just liked they didn't like the kid was, they just thought the kid was negative.

So what we're saying is too, that's why we did this episode is to say like this, the stuff that happened last week with Jimmy's, it's happened in Nazi Germany and you think that it's so different because it's, but it's really not that different. No, history repeats itself. It just repeats itself. It's like maybe this whole thing

obviously this is not going to lead to an Auschwitz situation you hope but it's like this is the beginning like it also could be could be because here's another thing too that I that I you know was doing some research on and maybe this is a topic for another day

but you know like if you look back at most civil wars right including our own United States Civil War Civil War in the 1600s in England the last time they had a civil war England is very close to civil war now with what's going on in London and all that

but there's no starting point and ending point of a civil war typically it kind of just starts to begin and you don't even realize you're in it so you kind of feel like here you worry about what's happening here now even with the what what's actually positive for me is seeing with all this Jimmy Kimmel stuff even though I know it's entertainment so it's like it's not that serious but is that people care you don't have like this apathy people are really caring about hey you can't do that That's a good sign because the moment it becomes like, oh, I don't give a shit, I just hate that side and fuck them, whatever happens to them, I'm done. Now you're getting pretty close to Civil War and you don't even realize that you're past a tipping point because I found that interesting when I was like, oh, there is no, nobody ever knows when a Civil War begins. It's just, you know, you can look back and say this was the first battle, but it was really started like 10 years ago.

I also think it's a decent sign that you're seeing people on the right and left. Yes. going, hey, what I don't like about this is that the FCC is putting pressure on ABC. Right. And what is it, Next Star? What are they called? Yeah. Next Star is the one big merger coming up.

The local channels. Yeah. And they got a merger coming up that they would. With Skydance and Larry Ellison. Yeah. And they going, are you bending to the FCC? So the FCC approves that merger. So people are from both walks of the aisle, both sides of the aisle are a little

a little uncomfortable with that. I think that's a good sign. It's a unifying thing. That's a unifying thing. Also, I got to say, you know, we have a problem with gun violence in this country, but, you know, when you have a population that's strapped, it's very hard for a totalitarian state to rise. Right. It's just hard. Right. I mean, you know, one of the first things you do is you take away, I mean, that's what the Nazis did, they did take away the guns. Right. And say, hey, you can't have those.

Right. You can't fight backward. So it's, I mean, we are strapped we got guns people are strapped not even i got myself a gat yeah i mean you have i mean it's just it's it's it's tough but also we have uh yeah we've been free for a while right so you just you know people are turning on trump on the right a little bit and trump i think is nervous of that as well and so he's got to change his strategy here and there you can see him he's like can i get away with this and he's like oh my own people are not like you know so it hopefully it holds We've been at peace for too long, and Victor Frankl said a man search for meaning is that's the scariest part of our generation. And he wrote that in the nine, I think it was the 90s.

He said it, this generation's been at peace for too long, so you're going to start to beg for war. And then when war comes, you're going to beg for peace and it'll be too late. You do not want to live through war. You do not want to do that. Don't want to do that. And if you do find yourself in war and you just want a little laughs, and you go to Patreon.com slash history hyenas, that's we have a lot of good content there. And you can just be off the rails. If a civil war does break out and you're trying to reminisce about the good old days,

then you go to patreon.com slash history hyenas because we're speaking over there as if it was the 90s. We just don't care where it's no censor. We're just like Howard Stern trying to get fined by the FCC. That's right. That's what we're doing. Yeah. Just, you know. Fucking communist cucks.

Yeah. Tune out to teach you, baby. That's our motto. Yeah. That's our minister of propaganda approved motto. Tune out from everything else and just shoot in to the free spirited comedy. We're like a free-spirited cabaret in Berlin in 1928, man. Yeah.

Everything goes. Trans, Nazis, whatever you want to talk about. Just let your conscious free and just have a little giggle at this, at this, at this cosmic gopah. Yeah. It's a cosmic gifah. Just a little bit. You want to giggle it, just a little bit. That's how I'm going to open my show in Saudi Arabia.

Giggle it. Just a little bit So he So Warner Fink He reinvented himself How After his release From a concentration camp

He perfected this style Of like Illusion and Evasion So he leaned on pauses Unfinished sentences And raised his eyebrows To let audiences fill in the blank He still did comedy in Germany

After the concentration camp I mean the kid is wild He's wild yeah so his cabaret was banned but he still found opportunities and theaters and small scale performances and he was tolerated

because audiences really liked him like I said and Gerbils knew that hey I can't kill this guy I just have to neutralize him because he was too popular yeah so what he did was he goes

during the war Gerbils goes all right he forces him he drafts him into the army and he placed them at what they call the propaganda entertainment troop this brigade or whatever and they were hoping he got killed

in battle, right? No, well, he had to entertain the troops. Right. So he couldn't perform freely like, you know, in Berlin or whatever, but they saw his value in keeping the morale up. And so the regime, because he was popular, could say, hey, see, even Fink is serving the motherland, you know, they wanted to use them. It's interesting because it shows you the power of comedy. Like, the guy was so funny and so masterful at his craft that people like him. Right. So, and he was subtly, you know, how sometimes comedy can be like a sugar-coated medicine, you know, we're telling you the truth, but we're giving it to you like a skittal. So it disarms you. Right. So the guy was brilliant at that. Right. And he was so brilliant

at that Goebbels knew, like, this guy's a threat. Right. But I can't kill him because the people like him. Yeah. Because he's so massive of doing it this way. So he, you know, he kind of portrayed himself as a sort of clueless clown with the way he delivered. Right. Gerbil saw, like, this motherfucker's a scoundrel. Yeah. He's a scaoundrel. Yeah. He's a scaven. Counts was a good word. So, and it's, it's, it's an optimistic thing because he outlasted the regime. Yeah. And he kind of looks like Larry David.

Yeah, he kept his head down, stayed alive, and he reemerged after the war. And he died in 1978. Yeah. Yonis was already two years old. Yeah. He became a symbol of subtle resistance. And he was the comic who kind of outwitted gerbils with wordplay. See?

Yeah. He wiggled out. He, um, and as like I said, as soon as the war was over, he went right back to. So Jimmy Kimmel is R. Jimmy Kimmel is R of Werner Fink. If you possibly get a show and development of them, yeah, why not? Why not?

I think it's a comedic genius. Absolutely. I love this work on a bad show. Yeah, you better say it. You see. Because you're an SS. My favorite bit that he did is when he walked up to women outside, he said, will you sleep with me?

Yeah. Will you have sex with me? Yeah. That was a good one. That was a good bit. Yeah, that was a good one. Now, of course, now here's the thing. We want to tie it all into what's going on.

Who knows by the time this episode comes out. Who knows? By the time this episode comes out, there'll be three questions to answer. Did Jimmy Kimmel get his show back? Did Jimmy Kimmel get fired? And is Chris in Saudi Arabia? Those are three questions you're going to have to ask yourself. We're going to have to ask yourself that. And people right now, I don't know how many weeks this will go on. You may be watching this back because this is a fun episode. So you may be watching this in a year, two years. We'll know how this plays out. But right now, people are either very outraged about Jimmy Kimmel being off the air.

We're very outraged as a guy got his head blown off. Yeah. And it's those seem to be, that outrage seems to fall along party lines as well. It's just what it is. It's just where we've come. We've kind of, there's no humanity in it anymore. It's just kind of like, can I make content about this? Right.

Famari Stademeyer's bedsheet hall. Amazing, but we're going to direct slur it any other day. Unfortunately, what can you do? What can you do? Whenever Schultz receives a call from Akash, the caller ID says scam like that. Sticking around, we may have a little broad James over hand.

Who's third place? Tell us third place. One. Who's three? I'm leaning towards Elliot pages In large clitoris As the third place bronze medalist Okay? you guys think?

Yeah. What was the other one? There was Glui CK to me is the gold. Right. And the other one was Akash said. Oh. Yes. So you're so if we've put Elliot pages in large Clitoris in third place as the bronze. That's the appropriate call. So then who is second place? Bluey C.K. says don't look away from the spray

Now you can. I'm the deciding vote. You are the Greek judge. Whoa. And this is fitting because you invented the Olympics. Yeah. Well, no, if he goes with Akash, then we got to get a tie break. Then we got to get a tie break.

Everybody goes with Gluy. Then they win. Then he wins the gold. We'll get Pat in here. Just read them. Let me just feel them both. So I'm going to read them both, and I'm going to read them both without laughing or giving it away, and I'm going to give two seconds of pause after each one. Yeah.
