Starting point is 00:02:29 What's up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of history hyenas. I'm sitting here with Krista Stefano and all. also we got our very good friend Paul Verzi's new podcast, Paul's best podcast. Paul's best podcast. Paul, how many chains do you have on right now? Two. Is that the max you'll go? You know what?
Starting point is 00:02:48 I thought two was the max, but when I saw how good this looked, I think I might go three. Three's max. Right. It is a nice look. You pull it off. Italians just dress nice and the chains outside the sweatshirt is a nice look. Because not everyone will think to do that. It's like what a bishop would do.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Exactly. Yeah. You look like a bishop. Yeah, he looks like a, yeah, like a Cardinal, like a barbishop Thomas Daly. Pull it outside of the sweatshirt. That's an intentional pull. You know it's an intentional pull. When you have a t-shirt on, you can play it off it.
Starting point is 00:03:18 It was an accidental. No, yeah. If it's a t-shirt, it's like, oh, it happened to be out. I happen to be out. But if it's a, if I got a hoodie, it's really intentional. It's a whole, as a matter of fact, before the thing started, I made sure. Yeah. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I would say that's a great question, Chris. It's a great question because what is the, what is the math? The max, right? The max was always two. It's a little gavoni if you go more than two, but then I saw two and I go, if you go one thin, this is the sneak. If one is thin, you could go three. Wow. You understand? Listen, listen, because one will be medium. One is the profound, nice. But if you go one straight, one little, it gives you the green light for three. So I have the green light for three. Now, I will say this. More than three, it's a problem. I would never do more than three. Then you start to look real strong. Stupid. More than three is a problem, but I also think the mass, the mass and the width has a lot to do with. The girth. Girt, yeah, it's just layer nice. It looks nice. And again, to pull it outside of a sweatshirt is a move you rarely see, and I commend you on that. What do you got going on there? I got one, I got one, but my thing is too big. It looks like a license part. So what I got is, is it's a DMV on there? It says TDV, the kid's initials, and I need a cross, and I need to
Starting point is 00:04:33 what probably, it's a little too big. You can't, you already got the max crosses on you. There's got a back, because I got, you got a cross here, you got a cross here. But I'm getting them removed. You're getting my tattoos removed. I don't know if you should get a, it might be a bad moment to get the cross burned off. You think that?
Starting point is 00:04:47 That's bad. Already, yeah, there's, yeah, it's already on the back. Yeah, you can leave the cross on the back, but I got to get the neighborhood removed. No, I got to get the scripture removed. I got to get the description of the neighbors. I think anything that has to do with JC's got to stay. Got to stay. Yeah, because you're going to church still?
Starting point is 00:05:02 No, my, you know what's funny. son went to church on Sunday with two of his friends. I say, where's Lucas? And Stacey goes, oh, him and two of his friends went to church. And I go on, she goes, on their own. And I go, hey, she goes, yeah, they wanted to. Wow. Does it make you think like, yes, they're good kids and, wow, we raise them right? Or what did they do? That they're like, we got to go to church to get out of this.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Right. These are the three things. They're either good kids. They either did something bad or they're preparing for the Holy World. Yeah, like there are those kids from like that movie, Mystic River. Did they kill somebody? Do they kill a girl and put her in the river? Yeah, that's a good point. No, you know what I think he did? I think he was like, I think he's seeing things.
Starting point is 00:05:37 And he's going, you know what? I want to be on the right side of this. Yeah, right. I want to be on the right side of this when it's all. You think he's saying he's looking over and he's saying, you know what? I mean, one of my friends, you know, could have felt something too that without telling us. Could have been like, you know what? Or could have had a friend go to church and say, oh, I felt this way and then went.
Starting point is 00:05:54 But the fact that my son, on his own is going to church on Sunday. Be honest, made me feel bad. Yeah, well, I woke up like, let's go golf. let's go to a movie and the kid was in the big house. And J.C.'s house. Yeah. The real test will come if he goes during football season. That's right. Well, here's a deal. If Jalen Brunson's
Starting point is 00:06:12 on TV or the New York Football Giants are on TV, you know, J.C. will wait. You know, he'll go to a late mass. Yeah. There's a big thing about the church strategy. Like, numbers have been dropping, but you can't help but notice that their main events happen during football Sunday. In America, they should at least make an exception
Starting point is 00:06:31 and maybe move the mass to Saturday or Wednesday afternoon. Right. It's not a bad idea. Just on football season. It's just, you're going up against the NFL. What does good ratings?
Starting point is 00:06:41 Well, let's do this. Or you do this. Or you do a flex schedule. You do, in the, you know, if your team is playing. Yeah. You say, you know what? If they got the 4 o'clock game,
Starting point is 00:06:52 we'll do the 1 o'clock service. If they got the 4. But here's a deal. You know? Or like they do in a bar. Like when you used to do bar shows and comedy, you just put the game on. on in the background. Seriously. They should have screens
Starting point is 00:07:03 behind the priest so you can double up. And then when it's third and eight, everybody stands up. Yeah. Seriously, that's how you use Jesus to help your team. Yeah. Oh, no, but here's the thing. The diehards are there early though, Yon. Why would you have the game on for the bar
Starting point is 00:07:19 but not for the past? What's the difference? The diehards are there at eight. The diehards are there. You got to understand. The die hard churchgoers? Yeah. Diehard churchgoers. They're up at seven. They have breakfast. They're in mass before nine. They're out by 11. Now they feel like their team's going to win because they did it.
Starting point is 00:07:36 You ready for this? You want to talk about diehards? Yeah. You got those diehards. But then you have the next level elite Navy SEAL diehards. My mother? Oh, no. Friday, Saturday night?
Starting point is 00:07:46 No. Seven days a week. She goes to the 8 o'clock on Mondays to Fridays. And then she does the 5 p.m. Saturday and the 10 a.m. Sunday. You know what's going to happen to your mother? And hopefully it happens later when she passed. You know what, though? You know the way at six flags they have the fast pass.
Starting point is 00:07:58 She's getting the fast pass. That happens. Because listen, there's going to be a line to the pearly gates, your mother, on an escalator. Fast pass. And it's good for me. And I feel I could commit a little bit more sin down here because I know she's getting a plus one. She's bringing her boy right up with her. Oh, she's going to say, because I'm her own child.
Starting point is 00:08:14 She's going to say, I know he might have done some stuff, but I got the fast pass. I've been paying for this seven days a week. Get him up. I think my mother's, my mother's holiness will pay for my debauchery. And that's how I get in. She's seen from a very young age that she had to put an extra. extra hours. Yeah, my mother and my aunt, when I was 10 years old, used a word, an adjective to describe me that I never forgot. They looked at me and they said, Christopher, you're disturbed.
Starting point is 00:08:38 So they've, so I think that's why my mother goes as hard as she goes, because she says, I have a disturbed son. So I have to get him into heaven and the only way is through me. Yeah. She might have went into the confession booth and say, I have a disturbed son and he may say, you have to double up your schedule. That's what it is. Then what you're going to have to do, Mrs. DeStefano is two a days. Yeah. She's, yeah, she's doing two days like the full It's like a football in spring training. She's got to do two days. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:09:04 You know how Norm was like everyone knew his name at Cheers? Yeah. When your mom goes into confession, it's just like it's not, he doesn't even remember her name. Yeah. The priest remembers your name. Right. Yeah. You're like a regular at your mom's confession like Norm was at Cheers.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Yeah. But you're not even there. Yeah. She just comes in and he goes, okay. Tell me about Christopher again. Here's the good thing about my mom is at time she periodically listens to the podcast and the honest knows this, if you're, if any, like, if you came in and started saying you had a problem, something was going on in your life, she would, she would, she would silently light a candle
Starting point is 00:09:37 for you at St. Matthias Church and Ridgewood from Mr. Paul Vergey. She wouldn't tell you, she would, it would just be lit and all of a sudden your problems would all of a sudden get solved because you got the candle lit. You know something, she's kind of like a saint on earth. Those people like saints on. There are certain people that are like saints on earth. Saints on earth. I like to call the saint a stop and shop. Yeah. Where do you go in? Well, my mom. What? What is the supermarket? Yeah. Stoppage shop. Stop it's good to know that we got a saint that picks up produce. Yeah, produce, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:03 And what it is, she's good, too, because my parents have been divorced. My parents have been divorced for about 35 years now. My dad's still trying to get in the divorce settlement one-eighth of the house, and my mom's protecting that one-eighth. My mom's not getting, because my mom doesn't believe. And your dad wants to put that one-eighth on the Jets. Yeah, he wants to put it on the Jets big. So my mom is protecting that one-eighth for me.
Starting point is 00:10:27 She's protected what she's done when she's. had to do. My mom's done what you had to do. Your pop's not letting go. My pop's keeps, he keeps holding on. He's asking to get bought out at that one-eight. Yeah. And my mom won't do it. Yeah, you won't do it. His pops listens to your and Bill's podcast about football bets big and bad. Big and bad. Are you serious? No, my dad's a big, well, he was a big gambler. I can't, I can't let you go on the whole time with it. You got something on the teeth. And I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. I appreciate that. That's what it is. See it? Let me see. Let me see. Oh, yeah. It's a biggie too. And I got it.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Yeah, there it is. Thank you. And that was a caper from a salmon on potato toast I got. I'll be honest, a gay fucking man. At first I thought he might have a hole in his teeth, so I didn't say anything. But then when I saw it moving, I go, you can't let the kick on all the pockets. Yeah. You know.
Starting point is 00:11:11 That's smart. Yeah. There was a guy. I had a little barbecue at my house on Sunday. And there was a guy who had canoli cream on his beard for about an hour. Nobody said anything. Yeah. I came in and I saw it.
Starting point is 00:11:19 I let him know quietly. Yeah. I look at it like this. If you like the guy or if the guy, if you know, deep down inside the guy's a good part. You can't just let it. You can't let it sit there. Right. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:11:30 Like, you could let it sit there on an enemy. Yeah. What about breath? Would you let a guy know he has bad breath? For me, it's really hard to, like, be around that person ever again. Right. Bad breath is... One time, you're done.
Starting point is 00:11:41 If they have bad breath once, you're like, I don't know about them. I actually, there was a comedian. I'm not going to mention names on this. I have bad breath years and years ago. And ever since then, it ruined. It's just... Even if they got it fixed, it's for me... If you guys want to hear that name, go to patreon.com slash history hyenas.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Patreon.com's like history hyenas. Halitosis is a tough one. And it comes from the stomach, too. A lot of these guys, even brushing their teeth and all that, doesn't matter the mints, what they're doing, their thing, it's from the stomach. They can't, there's nothing they can do about it. I found out something that's slowly dying. Yeah, it's bad. I found out something about women down, down air, you know, the way that could be a, somebody said it's hereditary and it's just a bacteria. And if the mom had it, then the, so it could be just a tough. You inherited it like hair color? It's a, I heard, I heard. I heard.
Starting point is 00:12:26 That fumes? That could be... I heard that fumes is genetic? I heard that fumes could be a bacteria. But here's my theory on that. And I, because I believe love, falling in love is chemical. It's pheromones, it's all that. Because there's been women, I'm sure we've all had this scenario.
Starting point is 00:12:42 There's been women from our past that you've hooked up with that had fumes bad. Like fumes bad where you're like, I can't even do that again. And then you smells like Newark. Right. And then you go, and then through Facebook and social media, you stay connected with them. You realize they got married, you know, five years later. And you say, how the hell does that husband deal with that fumes? But I think that if the husband connected in a way with their pheromones, they don't smell
Starting point is 00:13:04 the fumes. And I think that if you and I are, I think that girls that we have smelled fumes with may not be fumes for everyone. It's just fumes for us. And that's, the nature saying, that's not for you. You guys would probably mix and have a child that's retarded. Or maybe.
Starting point is 00:13:18 No, seriously, that's what nature does. A child with a disability. And not, not retard. You know what I mean? No, wow. I never thought of it. That's why nature wants you to have children. with as far away from your race as
Starting point is 00:13:28 public. So the love and chemical. They want you to have a black baby because I mean what is that you're far I mean Oh you're saying nature wants you to have a black baby Sorry sorry you're brought
Starting point is 00:13:38 Far away from you're they want you to have maybe a baby I'll say it free let's not get crazy now Right yeah no so you're saying that the chemistry and love makes the dude kind of either ignore or not sense it Yes that's what I think and then if you sense it and smell it I think your chemicals are not You guys weren't supposed to be it's organic chemistry you know she's out a circle hole and you're a square.
Starting point is 00:13:58 But then, so what you need to find is your square. And some, you know, so we just got to sniff each other's crotches. That's what dogs do. I was going to say, maybe that's what. I said a match.com. They should just do a snitch. Maybe that's what dogs do. Maybe your dog goes down and just goes, nah, or this is my type of thing.
Starting point is 00:14:13 That's what it is. But what do you think maybe like traditionally seafaring people, you know? You mean sea? Yeah, those. Okay. Yeah. The sea ticks. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:25 C ticks. Sea tics, which me and Paul are both members. You guys are both half C-TIC, right? No, he's half-C-tick. I'm full-Ease C-TIC with zero Turk. Right. Zero Central Asian DNA. Maybe seafaring people like Norwegians, maybe Japanese.
Starting point is 00:14:40 No, you're meat eaters. All right. Yeah, I'm talking about people who traditionally eat fish. Maybe they have a little bit more of a tolerance for the fubes. Because the fumes do tend to lean seafoods. But that's interesting because we have already spoken about that seafaring people typically have less fumes, Like a Viking doesn't really have fumes. Blonde hair, blue lines doesn't have fumes.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Right, right, right. So then how does it all connect? I think generally, I think all jokes say, I think it's the hair. No, no, it's all, everyone's got fumes. What do you mean? Every, every hair color has fumes. It's not one in that. Yeah, so.
Starting point is 00:15:12 No, but I'm not saying the hair color. I'm saying the removal of the hair. Oh. Removal of it. Oh, so you're saying if there's hair and there's like a lot of hair down pupe, if you get rid of it, it gets rid of. Right, right. Oh, so you're saying.
Starting point is 00:15:26 that the fumes are in a hair. You know how our grandparents say, I had to walk to school, I had it so hard. Right. We grew up in the era where we had to eat puss with big muffs.
Starting point is 00:15:35 That is the walk to school of eating puss. That's what, and Yanni's move used to be he would eat girls out in a bathtub that had fumes and he would have half his nose above the water
Starting point is 00:15:44 and we would call it the hippo. He would have half his nose above the water and then his tongue down below with the vagina below the water. There's a certain girl who that's what you have to do with an old school bathtub.
Starting point is 00:15:53 That's the work on a loophole that's called the hippo. It's called the hip-ball. It's just come up this butt. It's like your nose is above, but your mouth is below. Yeah. It's just what, yeah, you know. And so we, that was, that's a new thing.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I don't think waxing even started to like, no, mid-90s to the 2005. The clean wax came late. The Brazilians brought jujitsu and they brought the wax of America, which is two. And they asshole wax, too. Yes, exactly. And just asses in general. Yeah. And AIDS.
Starting point is 00:16:22 They have the most HIV now. Yeah. Wait a minute. You mean they'll wax the cheek? They wax everything. The Brazilian... The whole Brazilian is... It's cheek, too?
Starting point is 00:16:30 Everything. You'd have no hair down there. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. If you're doing a blindfold test, you don't know if you're on Epstein's Island or not. That's what the issue is. Smooth baby.
Starting point is 00:16:41 It's smooth baby. And we're thankful to the Brazilian people because they... That's what happens when cultures interact is, you know, they bring great things. You can't be isolated. Well, look, in the 90s, in the 90s, white kids like us went to hip hop. It just influenced us. So the Brazilian wax came here and chicks that were hairy were like, dude, this is it. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:17:00 This is it? Now, is jewelry you think more of an Italian thing or a black thing? Because those are the two people. Well, my dad, listen, I could tell you this. My dad would say, back to Chris's question, my dad would say there's no limit to the amount of change you could wear, no limit. And he would say that rappers, he told me, you know, I did it in my special. And it was a true thing where he's like, you know, I don't go for this hip-hop shit,
Starting point is 00:17:19 but these rappers know their jewelry because he would watch. and the bigger for him, the more it weighed, the, you know, the big medallions. He would say that. He would say, he would even, too little. Oh, he would call that chicken wire. Chicken wire, yeah, yeah, he calls that chicken wire. Even that? Yeah, no, he calls it chicken wire.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Yeah, he needs, his is even 3D, like a block, the chain's a block. He's going 20 grand, easy on a chain. Oh, my dad's probably. I would say my dad probably, I mean, he's old now, but I mean, the amount of money he spent on, I would say would be in a millions. A millions on jewelry. I would say overall probably cleared a million in his lifetime on jewelry. jewelry. Yeah, yeah. I mean, for him, it's like, but it's worth something. If I talk to my dad about
Starting point is 00:17:57 sports, it's a very quick, he doesn't care. If I talk to my dad about a jewelry shop, because I just came from Greece, right? And he goes, did you go to the places where the expensive jewelry? And I go, no, I went to, they had expensive watches. And he goes, no, he goes, no, not that. I'm talking about pieces. For him, it's, he wants to go and see pieces. Pieces. So he's like, like, stuff. He wants, y'all, if you give him an iced out chain, that's He wants to talk about it He wants to know the clarity of the diamonds He wants to know the mass of it
Starting point is 00:18:28 He wants to know where they got the stones Right I mean he's friends with all the Jewish guys on 47th Street They all Tommy Oh yeah He goes into the city Oh no no he used to When he was when he wasn't in Florida
Starting point is 00:18:39 He goes into he would go there And he would You look at diamonds He brought his own loop Right You know the fucking loop He brought his own fucking The guy would tell him
Starting point is 00:18:47 And he would you know He does the whole fucking thing And thought it's a nice Big for him Yeah clarity Big nice I mean, he's a New York kid, you know? I mean, that's just what it is.
Starting point is 00:18:56 It seems like jewelry, you know, it used to be the stereotype is like the amount of change you have on, like every chain you add is less of a level of education that you've got. Is that really? Is that a thing? I mean, that's, yeah, Abdul Carter, New York Giants. I mean, that's great. This guy's going to save the Giants. Abdul's a hell of a player.
Starting point is 00:19:17 He's going past the best blockers and even, I mean, preseason, but he's nuts. But like, a piece like that. like 200k around his neck. Easy. Your father wants that big. My father saw that. Yeah. He would say, get it.
Starting point is 00:19:28 He wants that. Yeah. It's like, yeah, it's like a cat to a laser. He would just say, that's what it is. Then he goes to the watch. Yeah. Then he would, you know, then he would see the teeth and then say a racial slur. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Exactly. Yeah. But to get that. No, it would go. Your father, your father say hello to a black guy to get that. No, no. Have a full friend with him. Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I would say befriend him. That's great. Because then he would go, hey, how you doing? Yeah. And then, and he would go, where'd you got that? You got that on 40-sale? Oh, yeah. Then my dad would go, he knows, he knows.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Right, right. Do you think we get to a point where jewelry starts to get cool for, like, like, nerdy kids? Because Mark Zuckerberg has a piece now. Yeah. Right? There's like, you know, there's like a pre, there's like a two Mark Zuckerberg's. I think there's like a pre-UFC.
Starting point is 00:20:11 There's a pre-that's what it is. And then, like, he's got confidence. He's got like, there was like a, yeah, because he went from like, like across the political spectrum of nice feet i mean look at him he's wearing jewelry dog well here's the deal i think the kid was a nerd and the only way women talked to him was when he got his money right then i think once he started to meet ufc friends and dana white and rogan and all that right then he was like some started doing jiu jitzu then the kid's con because then a nerd goes i can fuck you up right and as soon as he realized he could make make you tap out but it'll put a chain on i got a
Starting point is 00:20:44 friend who's been doing jihitsu i got a friend who's been doing jiu for six months He said, bro, in just six months, he doesn't even know. He's not even a map, not even close. He goes, just the fact that I know if somebody was to come approach me, I can roll them. He goes, my anxiety has went down to nearly zero because he can fucking roll somebody. Dude, it's the same. Can you pull up pre and like to the two Zuckerberg? My son is like really nasty at basketball right now, like really nasty.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Oh, you saw his shot. But now it's like through the roof. But what happened to his game, like they brought him to Co-op City. Right. You know, they were the only white team down there. The coach did it on purpose. My son started. But when the confidence went up, the swag.
Starting point is 00:21:21 There's a swag that happened. Sure. This kid, this kid wasn't beaten. This kid was stuffed in lockers. 100%. Look at the glow up. Yeah, look at that. His father was a dentist.
Starting point is 00:21:29 I mean, this kid was getting abused. That left to right over there is the biggest change. It's crazy. Ever. I mean, that is, I mean, his haircut on the left, he looked like a guy from the 1920s. Yeah. Looks like he's on the cyclone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:43 It looks like he should be sitting behind Caesar in the gladiator. And on the right, the right looks like he's going to get in trouble for DM and young girls. Yeah. The right looks, he's got a real confidence on the right. Yeah. He's got a... I think he did a little surgery too? You think there's some, some other stuff going on?
Starting point is 00:21:59 The guy on the left goes, I'm going to the bar tonight. Maybe I'll see boobs. The guy on the right goes, oh, dude, I'm hitting something tonight. Yeah, I know it's up to tonight. Yeah. Yeah. Right. It's really wild.
Starting point is 00:22:09 His transformation's been interesting. And it's also coincided kind of with his political transformation, right? I mean, he's just a Republican kid now. He's for the table. I mean, he really, whatever administration is in there, he's just trying to stay out of jail. He's just trying to stay out of jail, is what he's trying to do. He's also trying to keep his money. He's trying to keep his money.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Right. Do you think he cheats on his Asian wife now? Because, you know. I think they have an arrangement. Yeah. I don't think the guys like this do with just one woman. I think they have an arrangement. Because when you see us.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I believe they have an arrangement at this level. When you have, when you see a smart or rich Jewish guy, right? There's only two pieces that are going to be in his side. It's going to be another Jewish woman or Asian. They know what they're doing. The Ivy League has been bringing Jews and Asians together since it was valid. Yeah, because they're the, they overrepresented in the Ivy League schools. Asians are nice.
Starting point is 00:22:56 They're super intelligent. So together they just make a money, make a machine. That's all it is. Now, is there something attractive about the Asian culture, just the way, you know. Oh, for me, you know, it's for me. Every married guy I know always goes like, you know, if I was going to have a second choice or go around, I'm going Asian. But I mean Asian, like not really communicating Asian. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:14 I mean, like not being able to really talk. in Asian that doesn't even know the language. It's just all about like the Japanese, like the, you know, whatever you need. You know what I mean? What you really want. There's no talking back. What you really want is a woman, what you really want is the type of Asian woman who not only will listen, who understands, you know, that has that subservient mindset, who will
Starting point is 00:23:37 sexualize you and make you like a godlike figure what you really want. And this is the rarest of the rare. But what you really want to get your hands on is a North Korean. That's what you want. Almost impossible to get. But if you can get your hands on a relatively hot North Korean, you'll never... That's like an original, original Pokemon car.
Starting point is 00:23:56 They actually go up in value it. Yeah. That's just a rare, yeah. Like an exotic animal, when you got to know someone. Dude, if you stand there by the DMZ and if one of them hops over, you catch them. That's what you do. You bring her back, domesticate her a little bit. Forget it, dude, because they've grown up, Kim Jong Un, you kind of release that brain. You kind of reverse that brainwash from Kim.
Starting point is 00:24:16 John Un and you put it on you. Now she's want, now she worships the husband. I never thought about how rare. North Koreans are tough to get. It's like getting a reservation of carbon. No, it's like trying to get a white tiger to be a pet. Yeah. Can't get them.
Starting point is 00:24:31 No, but I will say this. Like as much as guys are like, guys do say, I heard what Yana said is true. Guys do say I would go Asian. I would go Asian culture where they can't really speak the language. It's all for the man. But here's the deal. That would drive you. Here's a deal.
Starting point is 00:24:44 My wife, make no mistake. She definitely could be tough, like always, because she's a strong tiger woman. Sure. But I like the, you got to like the intellectual combo. You got to kind of like the challenge. Because if you had somebody for a year, just go, yes, yes. I bet you after a while, that'd be tough. That'd be tough.
Starting point is 00:24:59 You want to be intellectually stimulated a little bit here. I don't know, about a year. Maybe about 15. He's enjoyed it for 15 to 50. I have a friend. He's not, she's not North Korean. She's South Korean, but she doesn't speak a word of English. She communicates her with her through Google Translate.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yeah. He was doing it in front. of us at the party. Swear to God, three weeks ago. Wow. This woman, and she is smoking hot does not speak a word of English. And I bet you his blood pressure is low. Low. He just bangs that out. And then anything that he wants, he's all day. When I try to imagine, when I think about it like an Uber driver, like, I prefer when the Uber driver doesn't speak English. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:34 You know? Well, dude, have you been to another, like I was in Sicily, which I know we're going to talk about the history of Sicily? I was there two years ago. And the Uber, the car driver there, you don't even need to know another language anymore. He was just speaking through the phone and there was a little bit of a delay because I'd have to translate, but chat GPT and these new things are going to fix that where you're going to be able to communicate, I mean like this in another language with people. Isn't that wild? No, it's going to be wild.
Starting point is 00:25:56 And it's going to actually probably teach us other languages quicker than you would think. It's like being there. Yeah. A chat cheap. Social media, I'm all for get rid of that. I don't see the purpose in it. It's just as bad. Chatchipt, I see the purpose in it because I actually try to use it to make me smarter.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I know that chatchipt knows more than I'll ever know. but I try to have, how can I make me smarter? Social media doesn't make me any smarter. Social media makes it worse. But ChatGPT, I like to prompt it. I'm all for ChatGPT getting bigger. I want ChatchipT to tell me where the North Korean women are. Where do they go when they get out?
Starting point is 00:26:27 Is there a place in New York City? Yeah, where do they go? Where do they ship them? I'll pay big. How your dad wants to get a $200,000 pay that. I want to get a North Korean now. You got to really know a guy who knows the guy who knows the guy to get a North Korean. That's some real underground shit.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I'm telling you it's almost impossible. You'd have better chance of getting one of those, like, cannibals from the Amazon that doesn't, has never even been photographed than getting North Korean. The craziest shit I heard. You're also in demand. No, the crazy shit I heard, though, was that North Korean girl on Rogan's podcast saying that they'll in the middle of the night, they'll come into the house with a white glove. And if you're, you have to have the Kim's on the wall, Kim Jong-un and all that. And one of them has to be, one of the Kim's has to be a picture in every room. And if they go like this and there's any dust on it, that mean, these people get killed or tortured.
Starting point is 00:27:08 I mean, it's what it is. So that's why it's probably hard for them to get here. But think about that type of mindset of a female coming in to be your wife. No, spotless house. Yeah, yeah. I mean, think about if she's living under those conditions and all you have to do is just be a little bit better than that. Yeah, yeah. You can do kind of whatever you want and she's going to be like this is a great guy.
Starting point is 00:27:28 All you got to do is not kill her for a speck of dust and she's in heaven. You can kind of do whatever else else on. I mean, she'd lose it if you just said hi. Yeah. We're nice. Yeah. How funny is it, though, that North Korea is ruled by a guy that's got a 1990s Patrick Ewing flattop. It's right. And you know, they believe he doesn't shit.
Starting point is 00:27:44 The people, Kim Jonah, he has told the people that he doesn't use the bathroom. So they believe that. I mean, the kid is still rocking. Yeah. Look at that. He's got a flat top. Yeah. With the fade.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I mean, the fact that Dennis Robin went there and just hung out with the kid for an afternoon is really. I mean, look at this one on the left. He looks like every lesbian out of protest. It's funny that they're getting ruled by this guy. I mean, his kid's 41 years old. He's the same age as me. He's a fucking. I was born in 1984.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Yeah. He's a fat kid. Yeah. Look how fat he is. a fat, his cholesterol is probably not good. Do you think if you sat down on had a beer with him, he'd be fun? Trump says he's awesome.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Trump knows a personal. No, because Dennis Rodman said that they had a blast. They love it. I probably think he's... But at some point, he's probably the only guy in North Korea who's having a good time. But here's the deal though. At some point with but at some point when you're sipping a beer with him, you've got to look over and be like, kid dude, you got to like, you got to ease up.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Yeah. Yeah. You got to like, if he starts getting buzzed, you're like, dude, you're really not letting anybody out talking, you know? Give the internet. It's a little stream. Fucking internet. Give the kids the internet. Yeah. Give the kids the internet.
Starting point is 00:28:48 But you're right, the North Koreans, they can't come. I mean, it's not like El Ducke when he flew it on a raft. Right, yeah. It's not close. Not close. This is a really hard smuggle. For them to get here, that's what I'm saying. If anyone out there, let us know in the YouTube comments, let us know in the Patreon.

Starting point is 00:30:47 Array! Array! Array! The Conjuring Last Rites, only on the theater September 5th. Ask you this. Let me ask you this, because you guys live, you know, you live a little bit north of me.
Starting point is 00:31:08 You know, won't, won't, you guys live in a night. real nice area. Yeah, yeah. I live a little bit closer to the city. So, can we say, I don't mean to cut you up, but can we just say one thing? Yeah. We live in the best place. We live in the, I mean, it's number one.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Number one. Listen to me. No one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's nice.
Starting point is 00:31:26 It's nice. Now, do you, because, you know, where I live, because Leonis, I talk about this, I live a little bit closer to the city, so I have a couple of more dings. You guys have less dings up by you. You know what I mean? A ding. You know what I mean? A couple of dings.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Like, you know what I mean? Like, you know what I mean? Like, he asked me if I have any dings in the neighbor. And I said, you know, your car gets dinged up a little bit? You know, a couple scraps? A couple of scraints, which it's all good. It's all good. But it's just the further north you go in these counties, just you get less dinks.
Starting point is 00:31:58 You know what I mean? Yeah. There's, there's, the funny thing is, is he's half Italian. He got it right away. Yeah. You know, it's exactly. Because we're talking about tradeoffs. Like, Janus gave my neighbor when I told him.
Starting point is 00:32:09 He gave her to B plus because he said I per dude to the city I'm in the I'm in the borough of Manhattan in 16 minutes see yeah what that's going to come with though is a couple of dings in the neighbor see that's when I hear 16 minutes when I hear anything under 35 40 you go it goes the other way for you because you're a yonkers kid so I live right above yonkers yeah so what's you know what's another 15 minutes to avoid if that's what you honest says to a few dinks so because I and listen it's beautiful where I live but there's So it's interesting because Yonis doesn't, you guys live in the same area, you don't see any dings. No. Right. Cars, it's pristine. There's no dings. No, the surfaces are flat. But where I'm from, where I'm from growing up in Queens, Brooklyn, like, you know, I grew up with, you know. You went outside and it was ding, ding, ding, ding,
Starting point is 00:32:53 ding, ding, ding. When I came out, it was like a hail storm. So, so, so I'm okay with that, so I couldn't fully transition to a dinginess. It was like, it was like the right answer on a game show? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't I couldn't, you know what I mean? I can flip. So where I've went and I've kind of, you know, I'm transitioning a little bit.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Yeah, yeah. Another way to say it is there's a little more turbulent. We came up with that one as well. Turbulance is synonymous with debt. Where we live, it's just smooth skies. There's no turbulence. Chrissy, you're making some money. Here's what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:33:26 You're going to go a little higher. You're making some money. Worst case, you throw a car service down. But here's the thing. You've got to get the kids up. Yeah, but I can't. The problem is I can't move my kids' schools again. Right, right, right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:33:37 But what I've looked into is in my neighborhood, I don't know if every town has this. I do believe in my neighborhood, in my town, I can keep my kids in that same town school so I don't upset. And have another house? And you can move out of, you have to pay a little bit more,
Starting point is 00:33:48 but you can move, your taxes don't cover it in full. It only, like, only 50% of the taxes cover something like that, so I got to pay a little bit. Yeah. But I can get up to a little bit less turbulent, more friendly, you guys, less ding.
Starting point is 00:34:00 And I could keep my kid in the same school. Keep a kid the same school. Because the truth is, the truth is, I'm starting to get to the point with the only ding I want in my house. North Korean bride. That's her name. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, because I just wanted to know.
Starting point is 00:34:16 You just want ping ding in the house. Yeah, it's just what it is. And it's just because I lot, I really love where I live, but I was a little surprised to see. There's just a couple of things. Yeah. You have a yard? I have a yard and I have a yard and I got a pool.
Starting point is 00:34:26 He's, he's going to throw in a pool. I threw in a pool. I threw in a pool. Oh, Stacey and next year I want to throw in a pool. So we throw in a pool, it's nice. You do that with the kids. You throw in a pool. You throw a fence around it.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I got a fence around the pool, and I got a yard, and that's it. Yeah. When you're in the city, you're going to, you're in a full-on car wreck where he is, you just get dinged a few times. That's all. Where we are, there's just no accidents. Yeah. That's all we're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.
Starting point is 00:34:51 But my neighbor, what a big thing in my, a lot of Italians live in my neighbor. Old school Italians, we got old school delis, we got old school restaurants. So I know it's so I know if there are a couple of dings, it's all, it's all okay. It's under control. It's under control. It's under control. It's not out of, where I was living in Queens, in Brooklyn, out of control. Right, right. Out of control. It's basically, you got an auto,
Starting point is 00:35:10 you know, you got an auto body shop for the dings. Exactly. Yeah. It's one of those things. Yeah. It's like, you know, it's, it's a hailstorm outside. Yeah. I got a garage. I can pull in so the dings are right outside the door, but I'm safe from them. That's where I live. When I was living in Queens Brooklyn, I'm out on the street getting dinged. Dude, you know what's funny about that. You know, when we get dinged that's a surprise. You come around a corner and you get dinged and you're like, whoa. Yeah. Especially in our town. You know, I don't like to mention a name, but we have a town that we use. That's, I mean, it's no dink. It's no accident.
Starting point is 00:35:38 No Dings allowed. It would be like an alien landing. Right. Or like seeing a bobcat. Right. It's like seeing a mountain line. You're like, what? I thought this is a different region they were supposed to go.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Anything. Yeah, it's really nice and safe. Look, you just want your kids to be safe. You want no crime. You want your kids to be safe. Right. But when I went to, it's funny, when I went to Greece, because I know you guys wanted to talk about Sicily, too.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Which is, I want to get into Sicily because that's another place where dings are not welcome. I went to Greece And when they found out Everywhere I went When they found out That I was Yeah, this is a little
Starting point is 00:36:15 We might have to put some of this on Patreon Just FYI Okay, go ahead Yeah It's okay We can just lift it out And just move We'll lift it out
Starting point is 00:36:21 And then we'll just keep Yeah Like what a lot of people Would it do Where they see things Yeah Yeah When you say dings
Starting point is 00:36:28 Are you put it under a big umbrella Big umbrella Big umbrella Yeah like You mean Yeah Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:36:36 There's a lot under there. Yeah, there's a lot under there. Yeah, and it doesn't even, it's not even, you know, color-based. No. You could just, anybody could be. Yeah, you know. Yeah. A criminal could be a thing.
Starting point is 00:36:47 100%. Well, that's what we mean. Yeah, just dings. Just no dinks. Yeah. You know, well, we know, where we are, there's really no crime. Yeah. Almost zero, right?
Starting point is 00:36:54 Yeah. Almost zero. I mean, my neighbor said the last time somebody got, like something that was 91, a house cop, I mean, in 91. Right. We're talking 50 years. It's not. And you see the police all, like, police are there.
Starting point is 00:37:05 It's just, it's so, it's such a small community that everybody knows. Everybody knows everybody. Yeah, yeah, everybody knows everybody. Because what I did, what I did, a move and just tell me, and then I want to get to. No, no, of course, yeah. But what I did a move is, and I might have went over, did it. I went and I brought just because I'm new in the neighborhood, right? I got, you know, my house, I'm new.
Starting point is 00:37:23 So I went to the police precinct and I brought a peach pie from the farmer's market to the cops. What do you think of that move? I mean, that move is. You like that? Dude, you know what I did? Yeah. The first year I did my 4th of July fireworks party, the first year I did it and the cops came. You know what I did?
Starting point is 00:37:39 Tell me. Asked them if they wanted canoli's cookies and coffee after they busted my balls. Right. Just to make them walk away. Right. You know? Because now I'm like, listen, boys, I know you're a pretri-I know you don't want to do this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:48 You know what? A canoli from Brooklyn doesn't hurt right now. Right. So go, that's what I did it. And they like you. You guys want cookies and canolies? And they had to say no, but they were waiting. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:58 So now I say, have, I told, this is real, this is a real thing. I told my wife. when the fireworks are going off you have a set aside rainbow cookies cannolis and coffee so if the cops come we buy time we ask them this but now this thing now we can't stop it's like it's like in good fellas when the
Starting point is 00:38:16 came in and Karen's offering them all where she said my friends they're spitting on the floor and I don't get it on the floor but you you gave them coffee you got your wife nice the fact you bring a pie to the precinct I literally dropped it off the female the commanding officer that was a female
Starting point is 00:38:32 She actually didn't know what to do. She said, I'm sorry, do you have a family member who's, you know, basically in one of the cells? I said, no, I'm new in the neighbor. I gave me my address, my name. I said, I just want to, you know, this is a pie for you guys. Farmer's market. It's sealed. I said, I just want to let you know, you know, I'm friendly to the police.
Starting point is 00:38:49 And they really like the police. And then you said, if a neighbor calls and says there's some things in my house, those are my family. I said, yeah, I was having a party. You know, besides Puerto Rican. I said, I just want to let you know, dear with me. And I got him behind the fence. Now, do you think a lot of people who get pulled over by the cops or whatever, it would be different if they just had a box of rainbow cookies or like an assortment and they just offered the cops? That's actually, I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:39:15 If you're just travel in your car. Deescalate. Deescalate. I have a lot of friends that are cops. You know, I know, and they go, like, if the number one thing is when somebody's a dick when they get to the door, if somebody gets to the car door and the person's already given out to you. But if you're like, you know what officer? Hands on 10 and 2, they say, have the registration. They said the real. way to do it and this is what i was talking this what window open when they see this they know that there's no threat you have if you get the registration and license in hand first and then you go did i do that i'm sorry my bad but then if you go by the way just so you know i'm coming from a bakery do you want some do you want a stuff shell with regard yeah i think you might get off you know what it's another move i do too just and i mean the pastry with regard what i do too just because the rules
Starting point is 00:39:58 at least in new york city i don't know where the rules are now but the rules of new york city if you had an If you had, you know, too many unpaid parking tickets, which I would have a lot, I would just get a parking ticket a week. Yeah. If they would suspend your license, right? Because you just would. Oh, yeah, yeah. And then in New York City, if you have a suspended license, it doesn't matter if you're freaking mother Teresa, you automatically have to get arrested. So what I would do is I get pulled over.
Starting point is 00:40:19 I would say, license registration right there. And I would say, officer, I just want to let you know. I believe that my license is clean, but I just want to let you know, I haven't paid all my parking tickets. So before you run it, can I please just check? on New York City.gov slash finance, can I please just check to make sure? Yeah. And typically the officers would allow it.
Starting point is 00:40:38 They would allow it. And, you know, as long as I wasn't doing anything, could have been going 100 miles an hour, but if it was a routine traffic stop, they'd say, all right. They'd say, all right, I'm not going to run it yet. And then if I'm valid, they're good, then they'd run it, make sure it give me a ticket, whatever.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Yeah. That's another nice move. And here's the greatest move, okay? If you, can I be honest? Yeah. If you let the officer know you don't mind Donnie T. Right. If you let the officer know,
Starting point is 00:41:01 Don't mind Donnie T and you want to kind of get the others out? Right. Then they're probably going to be good to go. You get a little sticker in American Plexic? Here's another rule. We don't live in the New York City fibros anymore, but if you're listening to this and you get pulled over
Starting point is 00:41:14 the New York City area right now, this is, you know, whenever this episode comes out next week, right now, if you get pulled over, you give your offer, you give that police officer the license and you say, hey, fuck Mom Donnie. Yeah, that helps. You're done. They do not want Mom Don't at all.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Tim had a funny joke about that when he got pulled over in Texas. anything. He goes, you're going like 90-something or whatever. And he was like, yeah, I'm just, you know, I'm trying to get away from these fucking liberal Californians that are moving into state. Oh, my God. And the cop was like, enjoy your night. Yeah. Is that true story?
Starting point is 00:41:45 I think it was probably true. I mean, you know, you just go, you know, officer, I totally understand how I was speed. And I got to tell you, oh, it is a shame what they're doing of you people down there. It's horrible. You know, we're just saying this, you know, we're voting. I don't care. You could give me the ticket, but what you guys have to go through down there is unbelievable. I mean, the morale must be done.
Starting point is 00:42:00 down. We're rooting for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's what you do. That's what you do because then they know, oh, this is one of the good guys. Yeah. You tell them the truth. You say, listen, I vote red, but I support the blue and you give them a pound. They're the blue. You got to give them a pound and let them know that listen. Let them know. And they still might give you a ticket. But the thing is, don't forget, police officers are human beings. So they're not, you know, if you're really nice, you know, they really got a, they really got to want to ding you. And you know one thing is wild. you know New York City is in bad shape
Starting point is 00:42:32 when a bunch of Italians are walking around New York City go, yo, Adams better win. I mean, there's Italian kids going, yo, Eric Adams. I'll tell you what, Adams doesn't. That's true. I never thought about it. You got God, only got him.
Starting point is 00:42:46 It's true. Go, you know, Adams doesn't win. We're fucked. That's really progressive. You got Italian kids going, yo, we need fucking Eric Adams. Everybody better line up for Adams. That's wild. That's how bad mom down in is.
Starting point is 00:42:59 He's solving racism in our city. It's actually nuts. He's bringing us together. Yeah. Look, there are a lot of racist cops out there, and unfortunately, black people do have to do with a lot of unjust stops. They're getting always pulled over for a taillight or something like that. It is.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Yeah. You just, you know, we got a lot of black fans that listen to this. I mean, this mailman, shout out to you. He has this route around here. He's a history. Heenist fan. Yeah. So I just want to say to all of our black fans that are listening, you know, it's horrible.
Starting point is 00:43:24 You got to deal with that sometimes. A lot of these cops, you know, can be real assholes. Yeah. It won't hurt maybe just have a bar. box of pastries on the passenger seat and just maybe a rainbow cookie might de-escalate the situation and listen if you don't like Trump
Starting point is 00:43:38 or you know just you don't pretend yeah lie yeah yeah you can lie you can just just you know just to get out of the traffic stop you say just have the fucking have the maga hat with you dude uh have it with you a shout out to Trump and a rainbow cookie you're definitely going to get half off to
Starting point is 00:43:55 or when you click the glove box yeah to get the registration just a MAGA hat flies out. That's it. Right? Yeah. So then he sees, you don't even have to mention it.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Yeah, yeah. Just go, oh, this thing? Sorry, yeah. Yeah, it always falls out. It just flies out. Yeah, yeah. And he goes, what's that? And you go, oh, you know what it is.

So your child can continue to discover all the world has to offer through their own eyes. Light the path to a brighter future with stellar lenses. with Stellist Lenses for Myopia Control.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Learn more at SLR.com and ask your family eye care professional for SLR Stellist lenses at your child's next visit. You know, when in Rome, it's kind of like when in Rome do as the Romans do. Most cops, I mean, I would love to see if they ever took a nationwide survey.
Starting point is 00:44:48 And I don't know why this is, but you'd probably come up with, like, numbers, like 97%, like 90 to 97% of cops. are Republicans, right? It's a high number. High percentage would be, I would say, 85 or above. Yeah, 85 or above. 97 might be crazy, but I would say at least 80.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Because here's a deal. Majority. And why do you think that is a lot of, I think that there's a lot of cops that were probably Democrats or grew up Democrats, but then they see the shift and now they're, you know what I mean? So that's why I wouldn't, I agree with Chris, I wouldn't say 97, because there's probably people that grew up, you know. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:45:21 My Sicilian grandmother was, my Sicilian grandmother was Democrat and my, and my, the one she lived with my grandfather was Republican, but it wasn't like that. wasn't yeah we were way off see we were way off this is all BS what is that because half of them don't identify half of them don't vote right this is this these numbers are not they're saying so the AI overview from Google is saying it's 32% of police services the United States identified
Starting point is 00:45:43 I don't think that that's true plus they hide it plus first of all people hide it and also officers of law don't want that out there I don't think they want to buy a state it makes sense if you're if you're a law officer to not right right this is this doesn't even make sense because it says The figure is significantly higher than the estimated 14% of the general voting public. That doesn't even make sense. No. That doesn't even make sense.
Starting point is 00:46:06 No, do you remember when de Blasio came out, the whole fucking unit turned their back on? I mean, it was, yeah, it's it, but nobody, nobody's going to talk about it. If I was a cop, I would never on the thing do that because bosses look. If you transfer, they look, it's better to either keep it independent or don't, you know. Yeah, smart, smart. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's an interesting thing. But that, I mean, but that's what we only got. two political parties. Sicily, which we wanted to talk about, the history of,
Starting point is 00:46:31 Nicic Italy's got something like 18 political parties. There's too many political parties here, but Sicily, Paul's a Sicilian kid. Well, here's the deal. I went to Greece, and when I walked in, is what I wanted to tell you guys. When I walked into places, you got to understand, I'm with my wife, my wife, my daughter looks like me, my son looks like my wife, and then with another family that look Irish, German Irish. What they saw me, they all went, oh, as soon as they would make a beeline to me, everywhere we went, and they would go, you, I said, I am, my mother's Greek and my father, Sicilian, and then they lost it. They would go, yeah, we see it. And they would say that thing that Dimitri said, same face. There's a, uh, Unafacha. It means, it means one
Starting point is 00:47:08 face. It means one face. The Sicilians have one face? No, no. They're saying that the Greek Sicilian face is basically the same. Unafacha something. And it means same face. So they would look at me and go, two regions, same face or something like that. Yeah. So it's so close. And Jan has sent me something a long time ago, because he, you know, I mean, I told you, Just for your listeners to know, this is how unbelievably prideful Greek Janice is. Every three months out of nowhere, okay? I mean, we're dear friends, but there'll be times where we won't talk about it for months. And every three months, my phone just buzzes.
Starting point is 00:47:39 And it just is, you're a Greek kid, you're full-blown Greek, your mother's Greek. And it's just what it is. It's just a text I get. And I just go like this, yeah, I know. And he goes, you got to start embracing it. I go, yeah, and I put it down. I mean, that's just it happens twice a year, at least. Dude, I know.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Well, and that's why I commend you because you've been full 15 years. a three-year break. But you've been full on 15 haven't, and I commend you on that. That's real. That's real. And you live across the street. So that's what it is. But Jan has sent me something. Sicilian DNA is very, very close to Greek. As a matter of fact, the Greeks were there first, and I also found out, though, and this is why I never do the DNA. Not that I would be, you know, not that, but it says it's
Starting point is 00:48:23 close to, you know, Arabic, it's close to, it's close to, so Greek and Sicilians are very same, but Sicilians have a lot. Sicilians, because everybody went there. And they were actually even, they kind of migrated down and said they were their own and they were better than Colopria and better than, you know, Naples and all that stuff. But Sicilians, I could, if I do
Starting point is 00:48:42 a DNA, I could find out that I have... So in other words, so in other words what you're saying is you do the DNA, it's going to pop up 88% Greek Sicilian and then you might get 12% ding. Yeah. You make it ding. It might, it's just a little ding. Anscici.com just says, hey, you got
Starting point is 00:48:58 The results are great. You just got a ding. You know the way now we can't, now we can't do, yeah, now you can't do certain sketches. But back when Chappelle, like 2002, how great would have sketch been if a bunch of Italian families in Bensonhurst, all the fathers and grandfathers got DNA done? And the whole neighborhood got to, their own fight. Because I'll tell you this, 100% he could attest this. If my father, if you told my father, listen, Tommy, we just got to let you know that you're 90% Sicilian, but, you know. You're 100% Arabic.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Nah, that's like that shit. You know, he couldn't be able to handle it. It lies. And by the way, let me just say something too. And by the way, nothing against Arabic, but my father wants to be one thing and one thing only. But by the way, 100%. But it's just being a person. It's just tribalism because the opposite is true too.
Starting point is 00:49:45 The black guy or the Arabic guy, if they found out they were 10% Sicilian, they would be like, oh, they would be like, they don't want that either. So everybody just wants to be what they think they are. I do think the opposite is true. You get an old school, think about an old school black. grandfather from the south do you think he wants a white half white grandbaby he does not no that's true he does not no that's just one side
Starting point is 00:50:06 is politicized but naz and jZ might like being asleep because they rap about mob movies a lot yeah it might be nice yeah that might be nice but they still don't so that's the differences it goes all ways no I do I think we'll get it to the point society now we have to we can all start to be honest where it's like it's not just white first black black first white it goes always everybody just wants to be what they are
Starting point is 00:50:24 and I want a North Korean wife I think No, I think I do think you're right I think that somebody that is prideful African American they find out that they're white or something
Starting point is 00:50:33 probably would be like whoa it's because people want to be if you're told your whole life you're one thing and you love that culture you eat the food of that culture you wear the things
Starting point is 00:50:42 you're prideful and then you're like oh but you're also you know Syrian or so you're like oh okay it's just it throws a wrench it's just what it is
Starting point is 00:50:49 yeah thankfully Ancestry.com wasn't around during Hitler's time because if he would have did a DNA the kid would have had a heart attack. Yeah. No, well, he would
Starting point is 00:50:58 have killed the whole company. He would have murdered the whole company that started the DNA. He would have not wanted to get out. Twenty-three and me would be gone. Yeah. Talk about a kid who had next to no Aryan DNA. Yeah. What was he? I mean, he, based on the eye test. I mean, she's looked Jewish-German.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Yeah. Really? And we did an episode. Just on the eye test. And we did an episode last week. Yeah, but the eye test can't really tell, can it? No, no. But we give Michelle the eye test, you're going like, maybe. Right. But we did an episode, but we did an episode. Oh, yeah. Just on the eye test.
Starting point is 00:51:29 You're like, that's a big woman. Her hands are big. Yeah, she's a big girl. Yeah. So, all right. But the eye test can't be deceiving is what you're saying. Yeah. So do you know about the history of Sicily, Paul?
Starting point is 00:51:40 I mean, listen, from what I was told by my father, from what Janus has sent me, from what I learned from traveling, you know, I know as much as I can. Now, I've been to Sicily, and I've actually been, Sierdacusa is absolutely gorgeous on the coast, and it translates into Syracuse. Now, Syracuse, New York does not look like. Syracusa, Sicily. Very different. They don't look to say, thank God, because Syracuse, New York is on my top three. Maybe one of the, other than the campus, it's a rough spot. One of the worst in the country. Syracuse is rough. It's Syracuse, Binghampton, places like this aren't rough. No offense, Carmelo Anthony. No offense at all. But it's, so Syracuse, it was the capital of Byzantine, Sicily. So does that mean when we say Byzantine, you know, does that mean that Sicily was a little muzz?
Starting point is 00:52:23 Is it a little muzzy? Christian side. Christians are Byzantine. No, I understand that. But to me, I always think of... It's Rome. Right, but I always think the Byzantine Empire, even though it's Christian, they were kind of like closer to Mus' than Roman Catholic. Like, you guys are closer to Musi than my type of Christian. Your type of Christian is closer to muzzy than my type of Christian.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Well, Paul and I are not are Roman Catholic. We didn't have to, you would think that we dealt with them more. Right. But the truth is Syracuse had to deal with... Sicily and Syracuse had to deal with multiple what they call in history, which I've recently understood. It's very funny how politically correct it is. It's very politically correct. I'll just be honest about it.
Starting point is 00:53:05 They always call it Muslim expansions. Right. They refer to them always as Muslim expansions or incursions, which is, you know, this is conquest, it's colonialism. So the Muslims, they constantly attack Sicily. Right. And they got in there. So they were close. The thing is, Sicily.
Starting point is 00:53:23 close. Sicily's close. But they went all the way to Spain. They got all the way to Spain. Check this out. So my aunt told me because I say,
Starting point is 00:53:29 where am I from? Where am I from? So in Sicily, my grandmother's from a village right outside of Taramina, which is some of the most beautiful place in the world.
Starting point is 00:53:36 You've been to Taramina? No, no, we're going next year. I've been to Taramina. That's what my grandmother's from? It's unbelievable. And my grandfather's from Palermo. But my Greek side, my grandfather was from
Starting point is 00:53:45 how you said that, Yani? Giatista. Janica. Janica. And. Gravana. So Gravana.
Starting point is 00:53:54 This is Greece? This is Greece. So my grandmother is from my Greek side is from where Alexander the Great was. And here's a deal. That Gravenia, I found out, it's funny because you know Stacey and I, me and Big Stacy's big fight is that I'm too easy going and laid back. And I don't, I'm a little, right? So we go with your kids? No, in life.
Starting point is 00:54:13 I'm just, I'm chill. Which is good. And she's like, we got to get this done. But when you have somebody that's like, we got to get this done. She's Taipei. And you got somebody that's like, we're good. It could cause. Conflict.
Starting point is 00:54:23 So this lady in this jewelry store in Greece finds out that I'm from Grameen. And she goes, oh, she goes, do you know that those people there in Greece? They're very chill and calm. So I look at Stacy and she did me a disservice. I go, you see? And she goes, but I got to be honest, some would say too chill. And my wife goes, see? And I was like, you didn't have to do that.
Starting point is 00:54:42 You didn't have to do that. You could have just said I was a chill kid who just fucking likes to chill out. But when you learn these things and then you find out where you're from in Sicily, by the beach, by water, I'm a Sicilian Greek kid that likes to maybe be by the water and just be left left. Relax. What you like to do is you're probably a fisherman. You have me an apparel spritz in the water?
Starting point is 00:55:02 Yes. Let me go out. I provide for my family. I go out in the waters alone. I bring back fish for the family. We drink. I want to be left alone a little bit. I'm chill. So now I got the Scandinavian Viking.
Starting point is 00:55:13 I married a Viking. You did. So you got a kid from a place in Greece that they even said is very chill laid back people that like to chill. And then I married a Viking. Yeah. So what's, yeah, because deep in her DNA, what she wants to do is go dinghunting.
Starting point is 00:55:26 She's a Viking. She wants to get on a ship with the sword, find people, and kill them. Yeah. That's what they, that's what they do. No, no, that's what I think that's what she has. Now, do you have good numbers? What's your pressure or cholesterol? Do you have good numbers?
Starting point is 00:55:38 Because you're a chill kid. I got good numbers with the, with the heart, the cholesterol. Sometimes a bad club if I eat, but everything is good. Good. Pressure is good. They said my blood pressure is crazy good. See, because you're relaxed, chilling. Because I'm, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Does your wife have bad pressure, I wonder? No, her pressure is good, but I think maybe a little higher than mine. But like I said, she's a Scandinavian Viking. Right, right. She's looking to plunder. She wants to plunder. It's in there. There's just a plunder.
Starting point is 00:56:02 And sometimes I've noticed where she'll get like, you know, like, and I see it in my, if they get mad, they'll be like a, like a, uh, and I'm going like, what is? And I'm like, oh, that's in the, that really is in the DNA. Because like you said, Vikings, they threw the horns on. And they said, get on the ship. It's time to go pillage. That's what they do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:18 So they have to fight where you are just chilling out. Because I guess you're from a village where you're looking out and saying, what are the problems? I'm looking at the water going, let me go get a fish. Yeah. And then that's it. Yeah. Surrounded by beautiful land, beautiful women. And here's a great thing for the history I know in a show.
Starting point is 00:56:33 I found out that there's two amazing fish that only are in the waters of Greece and Italy. And it's called the Denix. Can you pull that up? The Denix fish and the something crown sea bass where the sea bass almost looks like it has a crown and a Denix. those two fish are only in the waters of Greece I wonder if they're healthy too you go because talking about that Mediterranean diet yeah it's a it's a Mediterranean
Starting point is 00:56:57 yeah it's in the Mediterranean Sea and we ate it dude it was it was nuts but yeah it's uh are they healthy let's see if they fit into a low cholesterol low blood pressure diet those those fish are strictly Greek those are like the Greek fish but he said they're in the Mediterranean Sea by Italy too
Starting point is 00:57:17 you know but some of these fish are only in the two regions that I am but I might be more Greek than I am Sicilian and how does that make you feel great well genetically there's a there's a good chance because because of how many Greeks were in Sicily first I'll say this maybe you're certainly because you know Yanni is also very calm so I'm going to say you're probably Greek on the inside but you're definitely Sicilian on the outside you got your chains outside your sweatshirt that's a hundred percent yeah that's what it is that's exactly what it is I'm Greek on the inside I think my heart is more like my mom's right I think my sensitivity comes from the Greek side,
Starting point is 00:57:50 but the Italian side is like, look at my sneakers and make sure you look at the chain. Yeah, exactly. Right, right, right. I mean, I have a white leather. I have a white leather Lexus. I mean, it's just white leather inside of it. It's just has to be what it is.
Starting point is 00:58:02 You give me white? Yeah. You know, I say when I walked into his kitchen and his bathroom, I could have sat there. I stayed. You know, he made his downstairs redone, and to the eyes view, like where Jesse is, to the eyes view is his new bathroom.
Starting point is 00:58:15 That's just white marble. and we'll be watching a movie I'll just catch I'll just start looking at it I just I can't help You want the white marble You got marble all over your house White?
Starting point is 00:58:23 No no white marble Is Italian catnip Like you would You would sleep in the bathroom if you could Right I took a longer piss Yeah No I took a longer
Starting point is 00:58:34 Just to marvel at it Yeah Just I was pissing And I was hoping That the pissing It's like a marble At the stone There's something about white stone
Starting point is 00:58:41 That's why Santorini And the islands in Greece There's a white rock island These are white rock and they paint the buildings white with the blue roofs and shit That's to me Dude let me tell you something Taramina is I personally think it's the most beautiful place
Starting point is 00:58:56 I've ever been to There's a hotel there called St. Dominic Palace Or San Domenico Palace It's a 15th century monastery That is a fucking hotel now You go have a little brunch there whatever Stay there You know the Ionian Sea
Starting point is 00:59:09 You really like it's almost like makes you emotional How beautiful that place is It really you're going to love Taramina in a way I can't even explain. Is it romantic? Like old Montreal? It's romantic. You want to hear a funny story?
Starting point is 00:59:20 One of the funniest, it's one of my top, this got to be one of my top 20 life moments, funny. Yeah. It's not a good thing or a bad thing. Definitely not a bad thing. Also, we laughed hard. But me, Chris and Damien Lemon. It was me, Chris, Damien Lemon. Love Damien.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Maybe Matt Doug was there. I don't remember. But there's definitely the three of us. We were walking down to, because he likes to Citesy. He's more than me. You know, like when I go on the. the road. I always have to go see the site. Oh, you're one of those? I'm big. I'm out in the room all day. You're out of the room all day? All day. I got to see stuff. I go back at about
Starting point is 00:59:52 4.30, 5 p.m. the latest, take an hour and a half nap and then get ready for the show. But I have to be out of the room, sightseeing all day. I'm going to state capitals. I'm a little. No, it's German. I need to see what's going on. Really? I have a schedule. I have a schedule. When I I land, there's things to do. Sergio doesn't love coming on the road with me. Because he's got to get out of, he likes going on the road with Yani a little more. We get up a little later. A little later. But, but, My openers love being on road meat Because I mean I'm off at
Starting point is 01:00:19 You know we're out I'll meet you down at the lobby at two Yeah We'll get something to eat Then we'll take a nap Then we go to the show So you're okay Staying in the hotel the whole day
Starting point is 01:00:26 Unless it's a city that is If you have to We're Greeks We like to take the laydown There's times where I've gone To Paul's house And I look down at the chair Where he's sitting
Starting point is 01:00:36 And it looks like he's in hospital bed Yeah He'll be laid up Like he's injured Like I'm big on the big restaurant in the spot, Chris. Got it. So, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:00:48 If I'm in Sacramento and they're like, you have to go to this joint, then I'll do whatever, but we'll make sure that we go there. After the show, though. After the show. Now, if there is something, but I'll give you an example. But you're not a history. You're not going to go to a history stuff. We were in San Diego and someone's like, you got to go to that battleship and I didn't.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Right. That one I didn't. You didn't miss much. No, that one I didn't because I've been on them before and it's like that one I didn't. But if you were like, we were in Greece and I had the chance to not do it. They were like, do you want to get up at six in the morning and go to the Cropolis? It's going to be really hot.
Starting point is 01:01:16 It's a hike. And I was like, we have to. You have to do that. But even if you're in a city that you've been to before, like a Chicago, you could stay in the hotel for the weekend because you've been to Chicago a couple of times. If I've been to a place a couple times, then I'm going to go to the steakhouse that I love there, smoke a cigar at the cigar lounge I love there and that's it. That's it. Me and you are prancers.
Starting point is 01:01:33 I'm big on prancers. We're going to prance. Like when I go somewhere, like when I go, I typically get there. I have to balance it all because I don't, I leave on the last. possible flight because I want to spend as much time at my family as possible. I get and I do the show and what I'm huge on is the next morning wake up early
Starting point is 01:01:50 and I start seeing stuff. I made Sergio drive about an hour and a half out of the way so I can get a pick in front of the state capital in Lincoln, Nebraska. He takes picks in front of all the state capital. Yeah, it's what it is. Oh, okay. Just what it is. It's my thing. So he's a little retarded. So here's the deal though. You're see, I'm Sicilian and Greek.
Starting point is 01:02:06 You're Italian and German, so the German has got its own thing. Here's a deal. We're dog breeds. We're dog breeds and you just got a mix You got that mix He's got a very slight Italian Not enough to calm down to German I'm not as Italian as the first 10 years
Starting point is 01:02:21 My comedy dictated Did it hurt? When you found that did you No you always knew you were mostly Wait what are you 80, 20? No dude I'm more It's like 95% German 5% Italian You're 95% German Ancestry.com was off the charts German
Starting point is 01:02:36 And we've talked about this before But it made me feel And I'm just being honest with you that you can't eat around us. Well, no, it's not that. It just made me feel. It was like a subconscious thing. It made me feel I'm an American.
Starting point is 01:02:50 I love our country. I'm bleed red, white, and blue. This is where I was born. I will, oh, I pick this over anything. But it made me feel a little sympathetic towards the German and what happened to them in World War II. Just a little sympathetic, not to the Nazis. They're pieces of shit.
Starting point is 01:03:03 You know, the Holocaust, that's awful. But a little bit of the people that got swept up in it. You know what I mean? Like, not everything is what it seems. And the uniforms were nice on the Nazis, Hugo Boss, uniforms. Well, here's... You know, it's funny as an Italian
Starting point is 01:03:20 that could be like, was that Hugo Boss? Yeah, it was. Here's the thing. I think because when you find out what you are, there's something in you that's like it goes back to the ancestry, it goes back to what the people before you went through.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Seriously, you think about like, you have a great, great grandfather that I had a great-grandfather in Sicily doing something to provide for something. So when you find out that that's what you are, You're prideful. You're prideful. You know, the people, your creed, right? Dude, that's like a, that's, like, it's like, that's what you are. So you found out your German, 95%
Starting point is 01:03:48 you're like, all right, too, so then you learn about all that shit. Yeah, well, it is. All like, what are the positive things from that country? What's good about it? You know, we have bad history, recent history, but then you think about, okay, there's power there. You know, and you start to think about things and then moving forward, you start to say, well, you know, look, obviously the Nazis and though they were all bad, but I mean, it wasn't 100%. Right, of course. 98% of their ideas were bad, but they had a few good.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Yeah, a couple good Nazis, too. A hundred percent, a couple of good Nazis. That didn't want to be doing it, that told people, like, help people escape, help some Jews escape, put Jews. Not many, but a few. No, but there are stories of that. You know, and I'm sure that there were some
Starting point is 01:04:27 that just went by the rules that were like, fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it's like human. I'm sure more than a few of those, yeah. Yeah, dude, you're human. Yeah, right. You know, the human to kids and shit, you know? Yeah, country got decimated during World War I, Germany,
Starting point is 01:04:39 and they just wanted to get. some glory back they went overboard i'll give you that they wanted to make the right intention the wrong move they wanted to make germany great again which is all they wanted to do and they went overboard i will acknowledge that there but there's one thing that can't be disputed in this entire conversation and i won't stand for it i won't come on this show and talk about history and talk about those things and stand for anything other than this italian and greek food are the greatest here's there's three i say three mine is italian japanese greek right as far as food right okay but that being said German food underrated.
Starting point is 01:05:12 No. German food is disgusting. Dude, we went to Germany. We went to like a four-star restaurant. They served us like we were at a Mets game. It was like a Frank footer, apple sauce. And that's not a four-star restaurant because I had a, I had a schitzel there, dude. Or sour rotten?
Starting point is 01:05:26 Yeah, you're talking about a schnitzel. It's a fucking sausage. No, no, no. Schnitzel's like a chicken cutlet on them. Snitchel is like a pounded or chicken or pork that's bredded, like a giant cutlet. And then you have, and then you have vegetables on the side. It's like a, it's like your- It's a plain chicken
Starting point is 01:05:41 cutlet? No, no, no, dude, look up, can you get a picture? American desserts? Amazing. German chocolate cake. You have a few of those. Right? Pastry.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Listen, no. Dog food is in England. Dog food is in England. Yes. Dog food is in Ireland. Yes. You know, look. Mushy peas.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Everybody in England Island, she said food out of a fucking bowl. Yeah, dude, that's delicious. Look how dry and blend that looks, dog. No, no. That would put a nice little lemon on. It's actually nice. I mean, come on.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Dude, I'm just saying, like, listen, I didn't say it's up there. I said it's underrated. Underrated. Because I'm comparing that. When I say underrated to England. I would say Germany is accurately rated. Accurately rated is not a cuisine powerhouse.
Starting point is 01:06:18 You know what's actually underrated too, and I didn't do it for a long time because I just had some mental blocks for it, but I've since released them to therapy. That looks like someone vomited on a chicken cutlet. That doesn't look great though. Chinese food is pretty good. A Chinese restaurant. You're talking about real authentic Chinese food. I'm talking about Cheshwan cuisine. Oof.
Starting point is 01:06:34 Yeah. Dude. I'm talking about a sit-down Chinese restaurant has good food. If you put Asian food under an umbrella of all Asian food, I actually say Italian, Asian, Greek, are the top three in the world. In my opinion, in the world. Greek food, my cholesterol came down about 80 points because I switched from Italian was number one. Greek was three. I moved Greek to one, Italian to three, my cholesterol came down.
Starting point is 01:06:56 Yeah. And by the way, people that think, oh, what do you mean Greek? What is it just salads and lamb? No, the thing about Greece is so much stuff that comes out of the sea. It's incredible. And pasta with fish. Right, and a lot of times, like they'll use because I've, you know, I've been experiencing this. Like, I would eat a lot of heavy creams and heavy sauce into the Italian food.
Starting point is 01:07:16 Greek food is more, they're seasoning with lemon or you have hummus instead, and it's amazing. Yes. And it's just, and it's great for you. And that's why I think, I think Middle Eastern is underrated. Middle Eastern food is very underrated. Very underrated. Definitely under. I would not call German food.
Starting point is 01:07:30 No, no, but I'm putting Middle Eastern food above Germany. I'm just saying Germany's not dog food. We ate, I was in Germany for a long time. I had cat food at least. No, I was in Germany and I had. good meals. I was in England. I had one good meal in days. England food is horrible. They haven't figured
Starting point is 01:07:44 it out. They haven't figured it out. It's akin to German food. They do a lot of meat, a lot of bullshit. You're another Italian. Would you say German food is accurately rated or underwent? And have the Italian side of the brain answer, not the Jewish side. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will. Yeah, German food, I mean, there's not much there. I mean, schnitzel is it, right? I mean, they don't have a lot of variety.
Starting point is 01:08:05 desserts, Germany is great after desserts. Can you pull up German desserts? We have strudel chocolate cake. Lundzer tarts. Linserts, bad. It's a Frank. Bratworth is good. It's a Frank.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Yeah. I mean, we're talking about a Frank. Yeah, German desserts. I mean, German chocolate cake, Black Forest cake. Come on. Yeah. Apple, Strudel.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Bavarian cream. Yeah. Schwartzartz. Yeah, they do have good desserts. You get a little nervous when I hit it, right? Yeah, I'm hit the act. The black forest cake is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Yeah. Skuchin. Yeah. Yeah. It's just get, I could just, I got it in, it's in there it's in there what are you going to do here's the deal german food is italian food compared to england in my opinion yeah i agree with you in that i mean england i can't but here's a deal blood pudding it's gross yeah blood pudding's disgusting no no it's slop
Starting point is 01:08:49 the place got slop it's it's it's well how do they not figure it out yeah i mean london is one of the best fucking say how do they not figure it no london when you go to london the restaurants are good in london but the british cuisine is dog well here's a deal the restaurants are good because it's indian there is incredible indians are good indian food is underrated oh my god yeah and you said japanese cuisine. We were talking about this yesterday. Japanese cuisine sushi is amazing. But then moreover, in the actual country of Japan, specifically Tokyo,
Starting point is 01:09:16 they get very good at one thing. So the best Italian meal you may ever have in your life might be from a Japanese chef in Tokyo because they give their life to it. And when they're done, they kill themselves. We're not even fucking around. That's a very real thing that they do. They give their life to it. So he might be able to beat
Starting point is 01:09:32 the Italian no-now from Brooklyn because he's giving his life to it, laser-focused. And then if you have a nice veal par with the pasta in Tokyo you could say buddy you could kill yourself because you did it you did it yeah yeah yeah yeah you fucking did it and I'll just thing with chopsticks and I'll just finish that story
Starting point is 01:09:46 because there may be some people listening we were in Montreal Old Town me him and Dick and Lemon were walking we see and we walk in Oatown and Old Montreal yeah old Montreal and Chris looks around and he goes man isn't this romantic and then he looked at me and Dave he mean
