Enjoy the app.
It's what it is. Welcome to the history
hyenas. We are here.
It is a new year. I told you we are the
same queers. Chrissy D. Yanni
P. And I'm saying hello to you from the new
skin tag on my eyelid. Yeah, I don't know whether to look at you
or to look at that third little eye. But listen, just go.
to a dermatologist.
Hey a couple dollars, take it out of the family budget.
They'll burn it right off.
They can do that.
Yeah, but it's on my eyelid, because if I get it,
how am I going to open my eye?
I don't want to come in here with a patch on.
If they can release a sonic weapon that takes away the ability of the Cuban guards
to defend Maduro and makes them all bleed out of their nose,
they can take a little skin tag off your eye.
They can take that skin tag off and build a penis with it if they want.
Guys, let me tell you.
something I want to come in here with like wearing an eye patch and say I'm a Somalian because I'm like
a pirate.
You are.
I mean, that skin tag is getting a little bigger.
I can't take it though because.
Am I still cute?
The thing is I want to make you wear something right now.
Tell me.
Denim looks good on you.
Something about denim and you like just the skin color and the denim.
Yeah.
And the denim and my skin tag go hand in hand.
I want to give a shout out to Kith, to Ronnie Figue, who owns Kith.
He sent me this shirt because I did a little Kith, New York City campaign for him, and I got this shirt, and I washed it, and I shrunk it, and he told me not to wash it.
So I don't know how to have nice clothes, but Ronnie sent me something nice.
Yeah, but you look super cute today.
Now, super cute.
I feel super cute.
We got Jesse the Jew here, Nick the Stick.
Now, Jesse the half chew, sorry.
Now, Jess, can you pull up the, just Google blood vomit Venezuela?
and you'll find it was a New York Post article
where a Venezuelan security guard
over the weekend said
gave a first-hand account of what happened.
He said the United States military went in there
and just hit them with a sonic boom like Gile
from Street Fighter.
Yes, supposedly.
Of course the internet is not working.
This TV is not working.
And the days in the studio are numbered
like the Iran.
Yeah.
Like the current regime of Iran.
No, yeah, like the current...
Finally a revolution to get excited about.
Yeah.
Like Nick's snap benefits because the government's going to catch on at that point.
They're limited.
Now, I can tell just from, we always have a nice conversation.
We have egg white wraps and peanut butter cookies and we have a nice little feast before we start here.
And I can tell that Nick's in a bad mood.
So we have to find why Nick is sad.
Yeah, no.
Nick is sad today.
No, the thing about Nick is I think Nick spends most of his day, and I can relate to this.
Nick spends most of his day and going through an internal battle.
Yes.
So the internal battle is always, there's a lot of anxiety.
Yeah.
So he's constantly battling the anxiety.
So he's constantly having an internal monologue.
Yeah.
And he likes coming in here because we make ha-has happen.
And so he gets out of his head for one second.
Yeah.
But you got to understand he's a kid that lives in his own head because he's a smart kid.
He's a sensitive kid.
He wants to be doing Shakespeare.
Yeah.
And so he's constantly like a hamster wheel going over.
Like, why am I not doing Shakespeare?
Why am I not?
But then he doesn't do anything about it.
So he's just kind of stuck with anxiety.
It's what it is. It's what it is. And Nick's between Nick's goatee, kind of being a little patchy, Nick balding down the middle and just his overall personality, I equate him to the Golden Globe winner one battle after another.
Nick sees what he looks in the mirror. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just as one battle. No, I'm kidding, Nick. We appreciate you. Obviously, you know, joke around with you. But Nick, are you okay? We want to make sure you're okay because us being, you know, one of your employers, we need to make sure that your mental health is okay.
Can I answer that question?
Yes.
And then he could answer that.
No, he's not okay.
Yeah.
But that's the norm.
Yes.
Nick, are you having a blue day?
Because I can relate.
Just go ahead.
I feel fine.
Yeah.
See, I told you.
It's kind of the baseline.
Everything you said was accurate, except I don't actually like Shakespeare.
There you go.
Right.
He's more of a chaucer guy.
Yeah.
Now, Nick, yeah, because Nick, I've also been hit with, I've been depressed lately, but I'm here
to tell you, I haven't had sweets in about 48 hours, which is big for me.
Yeah.
And I haven't had alcohol.
in like five days.
So the kids coming back.
How are you doing with gratitude?
Because when you say you're depressed,
let's just lay a few things down here.
I'd like to make some coaching changes.
Some personnel changes.
You got a lot of talent.
You're very successful.
You're a good looking kid.
You do have a skin tag.
Imperfections happen.
I have a skin tag on my island.
Yeah.
You were put together with spare parts from God's garage.
But that is.
But that is what makes you hilarious.
Right.
Because with the face that you have, you're not supposed to be as funny as you are.
Right.
So not only did you get a good face, but you can wear baggy clothing and hide the weird body.
Yeah, it's what it is.
And your feet are deformed.
I defour me.
Well, my feet are, I think they gave me the same feet.
What God did is he just put the left one on the right and the right one on the left.
Yeah, I mean, he was just looking around going, what's left.
Yeah, what's up.
Yeah.
I can whip something up is what he said.
It was the end of the day.
Yeah, he's whipped something.
up. You know when you go in the refrigerator, my dad used to sometimes make spaghetti with yogurt
because that was always in the fridge and he made it. It's just what was left. Yeah. Yeah. And God just
put it together. Yeah. But you got a lot of positive things going for you. You got a beautiful
family. You got a beautiful house. Have you started the day thinking about the things that you have as
opposed to your addiction, which takes over and says, let's go get some stuff. We don't need.
Yeah. Like, so I, I have, what I did today is I let the feet settle onto the floor. I took,
I did this. Which they can't fully do because your foot is shaped like a heel, so you can't get the middle of the foot on the ground.
My foot, yeah, because my second toe, because my toes go like this, so my second toe never actually has hit the floor ever unless I take it off and push it down.
And so it just automatically, so I'm a little bit off balance to begin with.
So I literally, the way that I have physically been constructed is I am designed to be off the beam.
Yeah.
Because my middle toe, my second toe can't hit the beam unless I physically.
push it there. Right, right. So I'm designed to be off the beam. So that's my homeostasis. That's my
bounce. So what I did though is today is I took a big deep breath in, hold, and I came down
and I settled, and I did that five times. I did that five times, but on the fifth one, I breathe in
a little bit too hard and I got nervous and I almost passed out. Do you know, I just had a visual
of your life and it made me laugh while you're talking. Do you know how, when you watch Garbage Men,
when they're really in a rush
they want to get back to like a football game or whatever.
I want to shout out to DSNY.
Yeah, with the DSMY.
So the DSMY guys who are listening can relate.
They hop off the truck and they run
and they get the garbage
and the truck keeps going
and they got to run to catch the truck.
That's you with the beam.
Yeah.
You're constantly chasing the truck.
The beam is trying to hang on.
Yeah.
Try to hang on and I get it
and then I got to step off it
and then I've got to run after.
Right, right.
But so and so, you know,
but what I've realized,
cause is this.
Yeah.
What I realize is this, and this is, you know, beamcast, this is what I want to say to
my friends, is that if you try to take a deep breath in, take a deep breath in, and hold
it, what's going to happen?
You're going to die because you can't breathe.
The only way to live is to breathe.
You have to breathe.
So what do you have to do there for?
Let go of your breath.
The only way to live a good life is to let go.
Yeah.
So you have to just let go.
And I learned that in Frozen.
I actually have a...
Yeah, because right now we're just learning lessons from children's shows.
That's what it is.
Yeah.
Yeah. I actually want to give a serious, earnest piece of advice to everyone.
I think everyone can benefit from what I do.
Yeah.
I take 10 seconds every day.
I thought you were going to say 10 milligrams of Zoloft.
I take 5 milligrams of Alexa Pro.
I thought you were going to say that.
Yeah, 5 grams of Lexapro.
It's got to be a low dose, enough to give me a little space for myself.
Yeah.
And also low enough that I can feel my penis head.
It's just what it is.
Because what happens when you go a little higher is you just can't feel your penis head.
But that might work in my favor.
It might work in your favor because I am all for you getting a little low dose.
I may start putting it in your food.
Now, because, but let me ask you a question.
I might start crushing up some of mine and put them in your omelets.
The thing that I'm nervous about is what happens, though,
if does it, is there, can it possibly cause weight gain?
Because your boy has gotten himself back up to 227.
And I'm back up to 217.
It's just what it is.
Yeah, we're two guys that shouldn't be able to be eligible to fight each other.
at the heavyweight class, but we are. Yeah. Um, no, I don't think it is weight gain.
I, I, I, because I've been on it and, and you've gained some weight. No, but I've, I've been
fat off it too. Right. I'm just an eater. Yeah. I got the heart of a fat kid. Right. It's what it is.
So, okay. My heart looks like Stavros does on the outside. Right. Yeah. So it's just what it is.
So, okay, so that's good to know. So maybe I'll get on that because it is trying to get to the
point now where the stress is getting to me where I've grown a skin tag on my eyelid.
So that's just what's happened.
So, but it does go to show you that you can have all the things, like you said, you know,
you gave me some nice compliments.
I appreciate, but it doesn't matter because we are living.
Our lives is the reality that we see and the reality that we feel it doesn't matter what
others think.
It matters what's inside here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if what's inside here is not okay, then you're not okay.
Yeah.
Then what's projected out isn't okay.
But maybe you just got to start with gratitude and take text.
That's what I forgot to say.
I take 10 seconds, and this is a true thing that I do, and it works.
And I'm telling you, I think it rewires your nervous system.
Okay.
Take 10 seconds a day, deep breath, and on the way out, on the exhale, I just say in my head, I choose peace.
I choose peace.
10 seconds a day, I choose peace.
You can fart while you do it if you want.
And it's just the words, I choose peace, the exhale, see, the exhale activates your parasympathetic nervous system.
It stimulates your vagus nerve.
the words I choose peace. Pat get the hell out of here. Yeah. Oh, I thought. When I'm choosing peace,
I can't be looking at a Lebanese. Put him in the closet. Pat said he thought he heard I choose
to be a piece. So he came in. And I think that works. Yeah, you got a lot going for you. I think
if you started reframing a lot of stuff when you woke up and did gratitude and started thinking
about the things that you do have, you got your health. Yeah. You got Lynn Light and Candles.
Yeah. Yeah, I got my mom. You got your ma. You got daytime Tony. Yeah. You got you
I got my beautiful kids.
You got your beautiful kids.
You got your wife.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A common law or whatever's going on.
Yeah.
You got a beautiful house.
You got a beautiful career.
You've achieved already everything you've set out to achieve.
Yeah.
You're a division three.
Nobody cares fucking basketball star.
I mean, when you go to St. Joe's, because you are on it in the Hall of Fame, which is on a piece of oyster tag.
It's what it is.
I make the-
They have his picture on a piece of colored Oster tag.
I was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame and I was wearing sweatpants.
and my basketball sneakers.
You are a fucking legend
in white basketball division
three. So you've done
everything. It goes back to what we say
here on a weekly basis. Hope is my hedge.
Facts are my proof. I'm already
winning. Yeah. If you just found a way
to calm that anxiety down,
I mean, you're just a kid who
can enjoy every moment of life
because you see life in a very
funny way. Yeah. Yeah, you don't take things
too seriously. No, normally I don't. But then what
happens is I don't take things too seriously.
things switch.
Things switch.
And then, but the problem is when I'm sitting down alone with my thoughts at night, and I'm like, oh, I was having so much fun today.
And then the wall start to close in because I'm saying, what the hell did I do?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I just think, that's just okay.
That's just who I am.
Things change a lot at 40.
Yeah.
I'm 41 now.
Carl Jung, the great psychologist said your life really begins at 40.
So I'm hoping that my life is beginning with a third eye.
Yeah.
And when I say third eye, I mean, a skin tag on my eyelid.
Yeah, yeah.
And listen, I mean, you know, for.
Royd was right about a lot of things, but if you currently can't, you know, get into anything
that a Jewish person said because you're into free Palestine, go to Carl Young.
He's not a Jew.
So you can believe what he says.
I don't know which one to do.
Do we do free Palestine?
Is it free Iran?
Is it which one is it?
Where do we up to now?
Is it free the Somalians?
Is it down with ice?
Which one is it?
Let's get Mark Ruffalo on the phone and find out what is good because he probably wore a couple of pins.
I didn't wear the golden globes yesterday.
It was just very funny to me that yesterday
there was a self-congratulatory
Hollywood ceremony happening
while outside
there was anti-Iatollah protests going
and a U-Haul just running through protesters.
It was very funny to me
that Wanda Sykes got up there
and was like, you know, wanted to get on
Ricky Jervais because that's what everyone's doing now.
Comics are going after each other because everyone's desperate,
everyone's mad.
Wanda Sykes went after Ricky Jervais for real?
She went out of Ricky Jolays a little bit
And she wanted to give one to God,
I want to take this award on behalf of the trans community
because, you know, supposedly Ricky Jervais is a transphobe,
which he's not probably.
But it was just funny to me that all these, like,
all major...
They believe Hollywood problems are happening
while, like, massive revolutions are happening
in two of the most major economies in the country.
Yeah.
It just made me want to say to Hollywood,
like, it's just fun to watch the bubble that they live in.
Yeah, it would be fun if, imagine, like,
she's making that speech in the U. Hall truck drove
to the back of the award ceremony.
Yeah.
That would have been hilarious.
That would have been funny.
And it's like, Ricky Jervais isn't a homophob just because one time he said, I don't want any lady dicks around me.
Yeah.
The thing is, I respect if you want to have a lady dick.
I just don't want it on my arm.
Yeah, it's just it.
That's all.
It's just, I mean, the kids making jokes.
I mean, you know, there's a lot bigger transphobes out there than Ricky Jervais.
Yeah.
I mean, the guys win an award.
Do we have to do the, does it have to, do we have to bring in an issue?
Just give me a fucking award.
He's a comedian.
Why don't, I feel like these people.
should, instead of doing national issues, they should take that platform to do, like, a personal
issue to them. Like, you know, like, really talk shit about your neighbor that no one's ever
heard of. You know what I mean? Well, yeah, I mean, they just have this thing in their head
that there's this war against the community, the LGBT community, because Trump's in office.
But I just, if anything, there's just a war on Somalians who have Medicaid right now.
That's all it is. I never hear Trump going after any gays. But when you talk to the gays,
they're like, we're being, they're just taking. We're being attacked.
Nothing has been attacked.
No.
Nothing has been attacked.
No.
Am I wrong?
No.
I know I'm going to get shit in the comments.
No.
But has anything, has gay marriage been repealed?
No.
Has anything bad happening?
No.
Is there anything bad happening that wasn't happening during the Biden administration?
No.
To the gay community.
No.
It's just all people are just, they like to follow narratives because people want to see their own reality.
So I'm not wrong.
You're not wrong because your shirt is tied around your arms.
Just because I got big fucking arms.
Yeah, cuz.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, because now we are potentially...
We should put that part on Patreon because I could be wrong.
Yeah, because the thing is you could be wrong.
And it's also we got to be careful because we got to put...
Protect stuff and put stuff on Patreon because you don't want to get yelled up for your wife again.
So I'm used to it.
So I don't care.
Yeah.
But now, because we are potentially people...
Now, here's the thing.
People say we're on the verge of a civil war.
But the truth is we're not.
Okay?
We're not.
You know what it is?
Every generation thinks that they're living in the worst time to be alive and they think they're living in some radical change.
Nobody ever says, oh, I'm living at such a peaceful time.
Everybody always thinks, oh, my God.
In the 1500s, people are saying the world's going to end.
And it's like it didn't.
So I think we're okay.
But in the spirit of civil war, I wanted to talk about a little guy named Robert E. Lee.
And on paper, he sounds Chinese.
But he's not.
That's a point that I never.
even thought of.
Robert E. Lee. He does
sound like a Chinese general, right? Because you could get nervous and say
I want to want General Robert E. Lee invading
the United States. Yes. Because we might
because that's the thing General Robert E. Lee,
the head of the Confederate Army, did invade the United States
even though he was part of this because the Civil War, he was against us.
But we could also get invaded by the Chinese Robert E. Lee
of current time. Right. If two guys walked into a room
and one was named Robert E. Lee and the other guy
was named John Chan, I would think that there was two Chinese guys who were.
If I put a picture of Xi Zhang Ping and Robert E. Lee, and I said, which one's name is Robert
Lee, you would have a tough time. You would have a tough time. You would probably pick Xi Jinping.
Yeah, I mean, the Chinese guys just took a couple of American names and they ran with them.
Lee's one of them. You got Chan, you got Chang. It's just, Wang. Yeah. There's four names you pick
from. It's just what it is. Yeah. Because their real names are just like, you got to draw pictures to say
their real names. It's just like a house of stick, a bird.
It's what it is.
A lot of time for Chinese names, I just have to ask my daughter to write it out.
Yeah.
Pre-K, I say, honey, just, you know?
Yeah, get the name down.
They just, they really complicated, right?
Now, because the way I go pewing big for the Revolutionary War, you go pewing big for the Civil War.
Big.
The timer stopped.
Yeah, it was, I go big.
I mean, do you think that this studio has Wi-Fi issues?
Because truly, I'm being honest with you, do you think because the people who work here on the outside are so fat that they constantly knock off the Wi-Fi?
when they walk back and forth.
100%.
Because I don't know why this Wi-Fi
constantly goes out
currently in the studio.
And I wonder if it's got something to do
with the people,
the two people who run are combined 800 pairs.
100%.
100%.
Because when the girl was here,
the intern girl,
the black girl who was a piece,
that girl was,
she was light and beautiful
and we never had Wi-Fi issues.
100%.
And it's not a coincidence
every time I see Pat walk by,
it knocks out.
It knocks out, yeah.
And every time Chris comes here,
I mean,
it just shakes.
Yeah, it's just,
what it is because maybe they're trying to connect the router and they have
marineros salts on their fingers. Yeah, unfortunately
we're just going to have to call him Richter Scale
Italia. That's what it is. Yeah.
Yeah. He's just, he's the kids
a planet. Yeah, I mean, so
of course the Wi-Fi just went out, but
what do we know? Because we are the
chat GPT sluts, as you know,
the Grock guys. But
Robert E. Lee, what I found fascinating
about Robert E. Lee, because I know you know a lot about him
because you're a Civil War cutie, but is his
father, Henry Lightfoot Lee,
was a revolutionary war general. He was
one of George Washington's favorite generals, and Lightfoot Lee fought in the Revolutionary War
when he was like in his 20s, and then he only had Robert E. Lee when he was in his 50s.
So Robert, and the Lightfoot Lee died when Robert E. Lee was 11, but Robert E. Lee had a father
who fought in the Revolutionary War. But what happened with Lightfoot Lee is Robert E. Lee would
always hear about the war stories, and he was like a famous, famous guy for being this
Revolutionary War General. But he died penniless.
and in a debtor's prison.
His whole life got screwed up lifefully.
He went into bad land deals and he got thrown into prison.
He owed a lot of people, a lot of money.
So Robert E. Lee took that as, I have to defend my family's honor and I have to win
my family's honor back.
So even though Robert E. Lee went to West Point, had a revolutionary war father.
He actually winds up heading the Confederate South, which detracts from the actual United States.
But he did it because he was all about honor.
So Robert Lee said, my honor lies with my state, the state of Virginia.
Yeah.
And that is why I'm fighting for the Confederacy, even though Robert Lee knew that slavery was bad,
Robert Lee wasn't all about having slaves.
Right.
He understood the problem with it, but he said, when it comes down to it, I have to fight
with Virginia because did you know President Lincoln asked Robert Lee to command the union
truth first?
Because he was the best general of them all.
That's the funny thing is all these guys knew each other.
They all went to West Point.
West Point together.
They all knew each other.
And then he just picked sides.
Robert Lee's dad's name was Lightfoot
So we can probably assume his downfall had to do with a little bit of alcohol
Yeah
You know because that if he had a little Native American blood that takes them down
Yeah and not to be confused not to be confused with
Yanni's nickname Light and the Lofus
Lighten the Lofus
Yeah
So that probably took him down
And his dad was 50 when he had him
So that just means one thing.
And you're hearing it first on history hyenas.
That means Robert Lee was autistic.
It's just what it is.
That's probably why he picked the side that he picked
because of some autistic reason,
counting things or whatever.
Do you think when they asked Robert E. Lee,
when they would say, sir, you have one night to choose.
It's going to be the north of the south.
He went like this?
Yeah, I think you started doing that.
He started stimming.
He started stimming.
He started stimming.
Yeah, he started.
And he just picked the south?
Yeah, because, you know, the research shows that for some reason people who are older and have kids,
it's like they have more of an autistic kid.
Now, you're a 50-year-old kid, which is great, because the sperm still swims big.
Yeah.
The sperm still swings big.
So now what are you going to do if you get one past a goal and you have a kid?
Are you just going to assume it's autistic?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to assume that one's autistic.
In fact, that's why we shouldn't have another one because the next one's definitely coming out for X.
Yeah, it's just what it is.
Yeah, it's just what it is.
you gotta just start doing it in the butt.
Yeah.
You gotta do it.
Which is a little loophole
that the Mormons like to do
and I think
I think the muzzies like to do that too.
Because they're hardcore Christians do that.
They say they're virgins in the puss.
Because we are going to do an episode
on Rum Springer, big.
Big.
Because I find it fascinating.
The Amish Rum Springer is fun.
Fun.
Where you can just go out
and like shoot crank into your dick.
Yeah.
Ben girls in the ass.
Yeah.
And then you just go back
and just become a Amish kid
who churns butter.
Yeah, I was going to say
it's hard to.
to like be out on the streets doing fentanyl and then come back and you're peeling corn.
It's hard to do, but they do it.
They do it.
They get it all out of their system on a rum spring and it's totally like what they're
supposed to do, which is interesting.
Yeah, and we're going to have more after Robert Ely, right after this ad from who cares.
Yeah.
Because I got myself a Mongolian cashmere fisherman pullover hoodie.
I'm a type of kid.
I'm not a button down kid anymore.
I like something a little fitted.
And in the winter, the wool, the cashmere is nice, high quality.
Quince, thank you. Thank you, Quince, because I was getting a little nervous there, because
I thought you weren't going to say after you got yourself a Mongolian. I thought it was going to
end there, but I'm happy he said cashmere sweater because you know me, I love Quince. My jacket,
this jacket, I have, look. Yeah, Quince. Look at that, baby. Look at that. Quince. Love it.
I wear their stuff all the time. Great quality. I would say three of my favorite sweaters
are all quints. My winter jacket quints, quints, my jeans quints. They really do have
Some of the, this is it.
This is the responsible downhooded pocket.
That's exactly what I'm wearing.
It's cute.
And it's cute, A-F.
I love Quince.
And by cutting out the middleman, then the traditional markups, Quince gets you a great price.
These jackets, this jacket costs $200.
It's North Face.
It'd be $500.
Absolutely.
So they really do a good job, cutting out the middleman, getting you quality clothes for a very good price.
I really can't recommend Quince enough.
Go peruse the website for yourself.

com slash hajinas.
Yeah.
It's interesting to think that these guys all knew each other and the Civil War.
You had brothers fighting against brothers.
They picked sides.
Yeah.
Especially right there.
What's interesting to me is back then travel was so much harder and took longer.
So like when you looked across the river from Virginia to D.C., that's what separated the south and the north.
Like Robert Lee's crib was right across the river from D.C.
Yeah.
And D.C. was the north.
and Virginia was his house. He could see, Robert Lee
from his actual house could see the capital.
Yeah, I mean, people used to have their vacation
homes in Brooklyn who lived in Manhattan.
Isn't that wild? So that was like going to the country.
Well, you know what? It was the
Civil War from 1861
to 1865. A lot of people say it was our
only civil war, but really we had the Civil War,
the Revolutionary War was also a civil war
because you had the loyalists, you know, who were loyal
to the crown, but American citizens fighting
against the Patriots who wanted to rebel.
So it's always, there's always been a little
bit of infighting in the United
States, as there is right now, there's always a little bit infighting. But I think the civil
war happened into an actual full-scale war because of geography. It would be very hard to have a
battle today in civil war because we're all living amongst each other. Like, right? There's no
geographical dividing line like there was back then. Right. We're not going to have a civil
war based on any big issue like slavery or something. We're not going to have a civil war at all.
With that being said, if I...
Being said, if you want to choose size, if it happens, you're going to want to go to the right because they are more armed.
They have the guns. And I will say this, I would be in favor of invading and eliminating Minnesota.
You just want it gone.
There's just too much stuff going on in Minnesota.
Yeah, it just keeps popping up.
I mean, it goes to the protests, to the daycares, to the Tim Walton.
Just get Minnesota out of here.
Just, you're done with it.
I would like, I have no problem getting rid of Minnesota.
And I like the city of Minneapolis.
I like performing now.
Yeah.
I'm okay if it goes.
So what?
We lose some fucking lakes.
Yeah.
I don't care. So then we'll do a little bit less ice skating.
Yeah, you've had enough for the Twin Cities.
I've had enough of Minnesota.
Yeah.
Okay? I have enough. Give me the Twin Towers back.
Right.
Take the Twin Cities.
Yeah. Just Indiana Pacers join the Canadian League.
I don't care at all. The Minnesota, there's just too much problems there.
And we don't need. I don't know what it serves.
Yeah.
So what? You know, lose some lakes, lose some trees.
Yeah, yeah.
I know there's probably people on the podcast who are from Minnesota so you can stay.
Yeah.
If you can show me an active Patreon membership, then you can you.
you can stay. Yes. But other than that,
you're out of here, Minnesota. Yeah, Minnesota's
really been just a powder keg.
Minnesota and Oregon can go.
It can go big. Portland?
Oregon can stay, but the city of Portland
and the whole state of Minnesota, you can
go. And while we're at it, can we
throw Seattle into that as well?
Throw it out there. Like I've been saying
for six months, and I think I'll be proven right.
Eventually, you know, time will tell.
Go back to the original 13 colonies.
Just go back to the original one three.
We have to.
And Florida, because I like Miami.
There's just got to be a way to let everyone know that you need some level of patriotism.
Yes.
You have to like and defend the place that you live.
You can't, you know, we've gotten to this point of the paradox tolerance and sort of like this, you know, where free speech goes all the way.
It's great to critique constantly.
but also like
can you just appreciate the fact
that you can go to 7-11?
Yeah.
Can you appreciate the fact
that you got an iPhone?
Come on.
I'm not saying don't be a commie.
You can be a commie
but can you at least have a sense of humor
about the fact that you're a commie with an iPhone?
Yeah.
Can you just have a sense of humor about that?
Yeah.
You're a commie with an iPhone.
If you're the chick,
the commie chick that Mom Dami elected
to be the defendant,
can you just have a little bit of a sense of humor
that your mom lives in a $1.6 million
house in Nashville?
Yeah.
Can you have a sense of humor
Just laugh about it, honey.
Can you just laugh about the fact that you call property ownership, white supremacy, and then look in the mirror and see that you're as white as snow?
Yeah.
Can you have some fun with that in your own head?
A giggle at least.
Yeah, Eric Adams, Eric Adams' response.
He sees his response.
He went, yo, fuck that.
Yeah.
That was his response, former mayor of New York.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Can you just say, if I'm going to say that, it would be funny for me to go to a black family's house who owns their house and say that to them with a straight face.
Can you just have fun with the idea of you going to a black family and telling them that their house is a form of white supremacism?
Just have fun.
Just have a giggle about it.
Have a giggy figure.
I don't mind what you say.
I don't mind what you believe.
But what's happened?
We've lost this sense of humor about it.
Now, here's the thing.
Mamm Dhani, Mayor's Oren, Mom Dani is the new mayor of New York City.
So I know if you're not living in New York City, this may mean nothing to you.
But just, I'm telling you, we have a new mayor here.
Things are getting wild in our city.
but I do miss our old mayor's name was Eric Adams.
He was a black guy.
He was actually a guest on history hyenas during the First Reich,
and I found something.
Mayor Eric Adams' top ten things that he said.
These are all real things that he said,
and it makes me miss this guy.
He's only been gone three weeks, and I miss him.
So he said, all my haters become my waiters
when I sit down at the table of success.
I love it.
So put that in the beamcast.
All my haters become my waiters when I sit down at the table of success.
That's a good one.
Then he goes deep down.
I think I must be a little bit Dominican.
That's a good life.
Then he said, I am Gandhi like.
I think like Gandhi.
I act like Gandhi.
I want to be like Gandhi.
Then he said when the mayor has swagger, the city has swagger.
That's truth?
Ain't wrong.
Then he goes, I am the mayor.
This is the city of nightlife.
I must test a product.
This guy is the best.
Then he goes, I don't know what to do without my incense, my candles, my bubble baths, and my roses.
Then he said, we can talk about erectile dysfunction, but not clitorial.
stimulation, something's wrong. Something is just wrong. And that's it back. Then he goes,
if he wants to participate in a circus, that's fine. I'm just not buying the tickets. Well said.
That's a good one. Then he goes, lions don't lose sleep over the opinions of the sheep.
That's true. Not his, yeah. But then he said, I wake up in the morning sometimes and I look at
myself and give myself the finger. Here's some more. Isn't he a 10 out of 10? 10 out of 10.
He said, I'm the Biden of Brooklyn. When you raise your pants, you raise your character.
Pick those pants up, young man.
Yeah.
If you don't educate, you will incarcerate.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
These are good.
I like this guy.
I am the pilot and you are all passengers.
Pray for me to land the plane because there's no parachute in this plane and we're all going down together.
At least he has some self-awareness that he's not a white pilot.
It's what it is.
And Yanni being agreed, this is why Yanni moved out of his hometown of Brooklyn
because Eric Adams said Brooklyn is the Istanbul of America.
So Yanni said, I'm out of here.
He often substituted the world cities like Athens, Tel Avivian, Mexico on pest control.
Everyone that knows me knows one thing.
I hate rats.
Yeah.
Because, yeah.
Isn't this better than someone than a mayor talking about property as collectivism or whatever he's saying?
Like, don't you, I want this guy.
Just like Obama, dude.
Obama, I don't know what the hell he was doing or not doing.
He was just funny at Swagger.
Life was a little easier back that.
Yeah, I love being a comedian and being able to watch the circus at.
George Carlin said,
you're just not going to buy the tickets.
I don't buy the tickets.
I watch the circus.
I think it's the duty of a comedian
to not buy the ticket and watch the circus.
Yeah.
And for me,
Mamdami so far has been fun to watch
because he's clearly like a rookie.
Yeah.
Right?
So it's like you remember when Kobe got into league?
He could end up becoming Kobe.
Sure.
But you remember when Kobe got into league?
He was just 18.
He was shooting air balls.
Yeah.
He was just in over his head.
Yeah.
And it's just, to me, it just seems like he's got an administration full of college kids.
Yeah.
And they're coming in and he's got this chick who's tweeting about property being white supremacy.
And then the next thing you know, the whole media goes, who's this chick?
They go look through all her stuff and they go to her house and she starts crying.
Yeah.
Did you see her cry?
I saw her cry.
Yeah.
And then people on Twitter going, uh, what are you doing?
Why are you harassing?
It's like they're not, that's the media showing up talking.
to a government official. This is New York City, babe. If you can't keep cool like Eli Manning,
then you don't belong here. This is a place where there's a lot of media scrutiny, sweetheart.
Welcome to the party. I want the fans to start a counter to see what, who does what more. Do I flex my
pecks more or does Yonis run his hand through his hair more? Yeah, what do we do? Yonis runs his hand through
his hair every five seconds and then it makes me flex my pecks. Because I'm a little subconscious
because I didn't put any hair powder in it.
But you look good with a, you look good today.
Yeah?
You're a handsome kid.
You got bed in a tight shirt.
Yeah, I think I'm having a little bit of a glow up.
You are having a bit of a glow up.
And here's what I want.
And I want the fans to get behind us on this.
What we're going to start to do is with Sergio Chacon.
Yonis and I are going to start training a couple of times a week and we'll film it.
We want you to follow the weight loss journey with us.
Yani and I both want to be down 15 pounds because we're both roughly 15 pounds.
cute. We want to be 15 pounds lighter by April 15th. Tax day. That right? Should we? Sure.
15 pounds down by April 15th. It's January 12th. So hold on. Yeah. It's January 12th or something right now.
Sure. That's what I want. Should we do that? I'd love to get down 15 pounds. Let's do 15 pounds by
April 15th. That is the thing. And we're all in on the challenge and you go and how do we involve
Nick? What should Nick be? Nick? I don't know what his body type is. Do you work out, do you exercise at all,
Nick? I go for walks. Sometimes I do squats, but I haven't done in a long time, so I got to stretch and I
got to get back into it. Do you know what I think? How old are you, Nick, by the way? 43. Okay. Do you know what I think
will help a lot with your anxiety? Exercise. Yeah, I go for walks all the time. I think we need a little bit
more than the walking. Help me. What do I do? I think you need to go to the gym. I want you to grab some
dumbbells. You can start with the Suzanne Summer ones. Yeah. Get the pink ones. Yeah. Start with some curls.
and then we want to get you in.
I wish Sergio would take you, but Sergio does not give discounts.
Yeah, Sergio doesn't give discounts.
And Sergio's also been the last couple of weeks in a bad mood where you just, you're going to get punch in the face.
Yeah.
It's like, Janice and I both pay Sergio a lot of money to get hurt.
Yeah.
That's what we pay for.
We do.
Yeah.
Boxing is good.
Maybe what if I wear my Che Guevara shirt?
Will he give me a discount?
Then he might.
He might get it.
Actually, that would be the way to approach him.
Yeah.
that would be the way to approach him and be like hey man
let's can we do this outside of the
capitalist let's be honest we're all we're four men
in here that most likely would go to a gym
and we would do things in the woman's part of the gym
we would do better in a lucille roberts than we would in a new york
sports club right if we're being honest the four of us do women
even when you and I are boxing he's giving us the woman's workout he's
totally giving us the women's work out you know we're warming up
we're breathing yeah we're doing deep squats
a body weight everything is body weight yes right it's the he
he he he's he he he's he he he he's
for us as what he does with his female client.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because then when you see him hit the bag, if you go to his
Instagram and see him hit the bag when he's by himself. Yeah. And then when I spar with him, I go,
oh, he's, he's, that's what he could do to me. Sure. But he's giving me a woman version of it.
There's, and I know there's times where Sergio thinks, because he just goes right into that
woman's workout, because there have been times where he slipped and his brain has thought he's
training a woman because I remember one time I was doing a lunge and he said, you got a nice ass, ma.
So, and then he snapped itself.
He's like, my bad, my baby was like, you know,
he was like, I'm just saying you flexible.
So sometimes he forgets that, you know, I'm not a girl.
Yeah.
Cus, tell me, tell me.
I'm going to tell you, Cous.
Tell me about Robert E. Lee.
Robert E. Lee, the head of the Confederate Army,
the Confederate States of America, who wound up losing the Civil War,
Robert E. Lee.
Still got a lot of statues, though.
Still got a lot of statues.
Robert E. Lee, actually, he was just fighting to defend Virginia.
Yes, it was on the wrong side of history.
But if we're talking about who was the best general,
then the answer is Robert E. Lee.
Right.
And actually, you know, it's very interesting
is the way that Robert E. Lee would fight
and told the Confederate Army to fight,
they had a lot of, because the Confederate Army was way outnumbered,
but they were better soldiers.
And they had a lot of guerrilla warfare.
They were charged with the cavalry.
They would inform columns.
Guerrilla attack, retreat.
He learned that from his father, General Lightfoot Lee,
who perfected that to,
technique in the Revolutionary War to repel the British. That's why General George Washington liked
Robert Lee's father so much. So it's very ironic to me that all the things Robert E. Lee learned
were from a father who was there to get America's independence and then he had a son who was
trying to take it away. Right. It's very interesting. Yeah, they were just going, hey, we don't want to be
a part of this union. We want to separate and we want our state to be, we want all these states to
unify and make another country.
And, you know, with hindsight, you can just say...
What about with Heinz ketchup?
With Heinz ketchup and hindsight, I think you strip away all the details, you strip away
all the historical analysis.
Strip me like a Reese's peanut buttercup.
Take the wrapper off.
Take the wrapper off me like a racist peanut buttercup.
Because I know something good's in there.
Yeah, because you know something's good in there.
Have you said that to anybody?
I have.
Yeah.
And you strip away all that.
Yeah.
And you strip that all away with hindsight.
I think we can clearly say, if you look at England and how they got rid of slavery, they didn't need to fight.
They just all realized, all right, this is bad.
Yeah.
The kids here loved slavery so much.
Yeah.
I mean, American kids just didn't want to part with it.
Right.
That they were willing to go to war.
They were like, you can take anything, but you're not taking my slaves.
Yeah.
They just didn't want to let it go without a fight.
Some people will argue that's because of our geography, because in the South is we have the perfect conditions to grow cotton and they felt they needed the slaves to pick the cotton. Now, obviously that's a little bullshit. But that is what people say is to that is the reason why. Now, here's the thing. Here's what I'll say about Robert E. Lee. He was always, it's sometimes people are born, they're destined to do what they're supposed to do. Because really, one of the ways that the Civil War kind of started, like one of the major first things that started propelling us was in the 1850s, a man.
by the name of John Brown.
Okay, so John Brown, remember we went to visit him
in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia.
We're going to do an episode on him on Patreon
eventually called Leaky Rooke. He kid out of Leaky Roof.
We're starting a new, we're starting a new segment
at patreon.com slash history hyena's called Leaky Roof,
where we go throughout history and we show you people
who are genuinely clinically insane.
Yeah.
Some of them did good things. Some of them did bad things,
but the thing they have in common is they were absolutely
clinically insane and their roof was blown clean off.
Yeah.
So John Brown went the,
The, in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia is where the United States had a big military depot.
A lot of weapons were there, whatever.
And John Brown, who was a resident of Kansas, there's a thing and we'll get into it,
maybe on the Patreon, a thing called Bleeding Kansas, where Kansas gets admitted into the United
States as a state.
And President Lincoln says, listen, I'm going to let you decide.
You have slaves or don't have slaves.
It's up to you.
And so there was basically a civil war within Kansas.
John Brown was a big part of it.
So John Brown is very.
anti-slavery. He wants slavery abolished. White guy, you know, by the time he gets to Harpers Ferry,
West Virginia in the late 1850s, he's gone crazy over it, right? And so he basically takes control.
He kills some U.S. soldiers that were guarding this weapons depot in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia,
and then he pulls himself up inside of it. And who is the, at the time, a completely unknown,
man, I believe it was in his 30s, maybe, completely unknown, just happenstance, happened to be
the general in charge of guarding that depot was Robert E. Lee. So Robert E. Lee, before the Civil War,
years before the Civil War, goes and gets John Brown out of there. They have to hang him eventually
because he's, you know, it's treason. I mean, he basically went against the United States to try to take
their weapons, so you got to die for that. And it was Robert E. And it was in that moment,
Robert E. Lee said he knew he could see in John Brown's eyes. He was like, this country is going to go
to war. And he was in his mind at that time thinking,
he's going to be the general for the union.
He was all about preserving the union,
but when his home state of Virginia seceded,
he felt he had no choice because to him it was state first,
then country.
That's how it was back then.
Yeah, Jefferson.
Jefferson, States rights.
He was Jefferson's right back.
And because Jefferson, another guy from Virginia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Another guy from Virginia.
Yeah, we're going to tell you some more fun facts right after this,
from Hello Fresh or wherever.
Whatever the fuck it is.
Yeah.
He actually is quoted as saying, Robert E. Lee,
slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil.
See?
He wrote that in a letter to his wife.
He also said,
the blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa.
So he didn't even want to send them back.
No.
His belief in white supremacy and gradualism was sort of...
What is gradualism?
Like, hey, let's gradually assimilate them.
Got it.
Sort of like, let the whites figure it out for a hundred years.
It's what it is.
Yeah.
Like...
He was opposed to abolition,
not slavery itself.
So meaning that what, he didn't,
he didn't think that we should abolish it,
but he also didn't think we should have slaves.
So what did it stand for?
Gradually.
Gradually, he was you gradually, just let him go slow.
Yeah, like you said in the last episode.
Yeah.
Yeah, just want to just let the...
Listen, guys, yeah.
We're going to get there.
We're going to get there.
If you could just give the...
Just for a few minutes, few years here,
we're going to make everything right.
Let us get some things in order,
and then we'll call you guys in one by one.
It's kind of what he...
It's just the principal.
I can't have all you talking at the same time.
It's just, hon, give us a minute.
Yeah.
Okay, we got the suits.
We got the cigar pipes.
We're going to figure this out.
We've heard you.
Yeah.
But I can't have everybody talk at the same time.
Just go out there.
Take a seat.
Right.
You pick a number.
Right.
You're going to come in and we're going to get you what you want.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
It's actually, it's the same exact thing that Simone Boliviar belief.
From our last episode.
Go check that out on YouTube and patreon.
Literally the same belief.
Yeah.
Like, look, we're going to get there.
just let us figure it out.
So Robert E. Lee
he opposes the secession
in theory. He doesn't agree with it, but he's
kind of saying if Virginia's
going, I'm going. I don't want, I wish it wasn't this way, baby
gorgeous. But I got to go. And Lincoln, as
we said, President Abraham Lincoln offered Lee
command of the union forces, and Lee refused
not right away. He thought about it. He said,
let me think on this. And he thought about it
and he said it lies with Virginia. I got to go with VA.
Right. And again, all
decision shaped by his father falling out of favor in the public eye. He was saying, this is how I'll get
back. So he was all this guy, because by the way, you think just because it was the 1860s, everybody was
about duty and honor, but actually during those times, life that, those were old, old world ways to
think. People were thinking more about living longer. They were thinking more about, hey, how do we be a
little bit more eccentric and kind of, you know, they weren't so rigid in their beliefs, but he was just a
rare wild card that he was. He was honor and duty and that's all that matter because of his pops.
So Grant, Ulysses S. Grant, who goes on to, you know, lead the union and to victory, he said he,
you know, Robert E. Lee, this was about he needed, he needed to win to justify his case. And unfortunately,
Robert Lee lost big. Unfortunately, you know, he was, they were, the, the South was the David
against the Goliath. Yeah, but just didn't have the numbers. They didn't have the numbers,
but do you know that the way that they were able to even keep this war up for four years? Like the
very first battle, major battle of Manassas,
the Union Army outnumbered the Southern Army like, I don't, a lot by thousands,
but because Robert E. Lee was so brilliant and tactical that he was able to keep this thing going
for four years when it really should have only been over in a few months because of,
dude, you have to think about just the north and the south.
Even today, how many more people live in the north than the south?
It's crazy.
Yeah.
I mean, New York City alone has nine million people just in the city.
That's like two southern states.
Yeah, and plus we were just getting immigrants coming over and then just handing them a rifle.
The Irish.
Yeah, just go, just go.
We had black regiments.
I mean, there was a few black soldiers for the Confederacy, but we had, you know,
we had the Massachusetts 54th, the famous Massachusetts.
Black kids were fighting.
We just, they couldn't, the Civil War was about two different economies, one that was
antiquated and their way of life felt threatened.
They wanted to hold on to it, but baby gorgeous machines were here.
This was the first AI takeover.
Yes.
They were going, the North was going like, we don't need human labor like that anymore.
gorgeous.
Yeah.
Because listen now, Honey Bubbles, we got machines to do that.
We got the cotton jinnie.
Yeah.
You don't need to have slaves doing that.
We have a little thing called the Gatling gun.
There was the Gatling gun, the true atrocity of the Civil War is crazy because they had the
automatic weapons.
The Gatling gun, aka the devil's breath, was basically a rapid fire machine gun.
And that's where you would kill.
That's where all, you know, so many soldiers was just get laid out.
The way people were dying at a way that like, you know, never had been seen in history
ever before.
more Americans died in the civil war
than all the other wars America has fought combined.
Yeah, 700 Dow.
And because everybody died
who was an American.
Yeah.
So that's one thing.
But also it was just a lot of people.
I mean, Gettysburg was, I mean, you and I went there
and then you peed on the Confederate side of the battlefield.
I had to do what I had to do.
It's just what you did.
You actually committed a federal crime?
Or I would say no, you're peeing on the side of the enemy.
I was doing it for patriotism.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was doing it for patriotism.
It was also one of the most vicious.
and brutal wars because we didn't have anesthesia.
Yeah.
But we had artillery.
So people were getting their legs blown off, and they just had to bite on a stick,
and they just poured whiskey on it.
Most of the people died.
A lot of people don't notice.
A lot of, most of the soldiers died just from infection.
Infection.
They died of that.
They died of dysentery.
They died of disease killed a lot of people.
And you know, it's a quick little, because I just was in West Virginia this weekend.
You know, there's a quick little fun fact about West Virginia?
It's super fucking cute.
And listen, if I was Robert Lee and I had to,
choose to because I am the number one draft
pick. I am Cooper flag.
I am the best general.
I understand looking back why he chose
Virginia because Virginia's just
fucking super cute. It's soups
Magout's cuties.
And West... Winchester? I would...
No, I was in Harper's Ferry.
I was in Harper's Ferry like a
Harper's...
So Harper's Ferry
that's where I went there this weekend
and I brought
Jasmine and my children
who are Puerto Rican and a man in
West Virginia I swear to God came up to us at a diner
and he comes up to me and goes, can I ask you a question?
He goes, is you a beautiful wife Navajo?
Yeah, she probably got upset about that, right?
Yeah, well, she got upset because as a joke
and I got in trouble for this because I said it for other kids,
I said, no, she's just a hoe.
Lot of 14.
But it was a joke.
Like, I was obviously kidding.
Yeah.
And he laughed and walked away and I laughed thinking I was going to be
and they were all just looking at me like, you just called her a home.
Yeah.
I made a boo-bo.
Yeah, but you made a good joke.
I made a good joke and I've been paying for it for the last couple of days.
Yeah.
But so we all make sacrifices.
Make sacrifices, but it's okay.
It was just joking.
Love you.
But it was just in the moment, you know.
But fun fact I learned about West Virginia is that was a part of Virginia until the Civil War.
It only became a state in 1863 in the middle of the Civil War because much, you know how President
Trump has basically said Nicholas Maduro was not the rightful leader of Venezuela.
Therefore, I don't need Congress's approval.
I can just go in and take them because, you know, he goes around that loophole.
He basically found a loophole where he said he was, he's not the people's choice.
So therefore, I don't recognize him as a, you know, leader of a government.
So I can take it.
President Lincoln did the same kind of thing with Virginia.
When Virginia seceded from the union, they basically said we are, we're Confederate states.
right, but there was a section of Virginia, the whole state of Virginia, the western half, that
they formed their own government.
And they were like, we don't agree with what Virginia is doing.
Like, we want to stay with the union.
We don't have, you know, there was much more rural out there.
They didn't really have as many slaves or as much agriculture going on.
And they were just like we would rather stay with the union.
So President Lincoln says, you know what?
Actually, you're the real Virginia because you didn't succeed.
I don't know what this Virginia that Robert Lee is.
well, you don't know who they are. You're Virginia. So now I don't need anybody else's approval.
I'm going to make you a state. So you are now the sanctioned, the state of West Virginia.
So these people started the civil war for the South, but then ended it in the North,
if you lived in the western half of Virginia. Very, very interesting, why it became a state.
Yeah, West Virginia is basically the South Korea of Virginia. Yes. It's what it is. Yeah. It's the South Korea
of Virginia and the rest of Virginia was the North Korea. And Robert Lee was King Jungung, but his name was Robert
E. Rhee.
It's what it is. And I can tell you that all the Asian people in West Virginia were near me because I was doing a show at a casino.
And it doesn't matter what state you're in, even if your state has no Asian people.
Yeah.
They are Asians will find a casino.
Yes.
Yes.
Now the situation gets interesting when you think about the soldiers that fought for the Confederacy because none of them had slaves.
No.
So it's like, I don't know.
poor white men.
They were poor whites.
I mean, you know how many, you know how few Americans actually could afford slaves?
Almost nobody.
It just lets you know that a lot of times these wars are just, they're just rich people defending
their financial interests, sending these kids to die, and using some sort of propaganda
or nationalism or ignorance to brainwash them and motivate them to do it.
And that usually is fear, right?
So I think the big propaganda.
at the time was, you know, Lincoln is a tyrant, federal overreach, our way of life.
They're coming after sweet tea.
They're coming after ribs.
They're coming after our ham hawks.
Yeah.
They're coming after our sister fucking.
Yeah.
They don't want us to do that anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because otherwise, why would these kids be funny?
It's just you have to do propaganda.
Like when we found the Japanese, someone just figured out we got to call, we got to shorten that
name and call them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We got to come up with something called...
There's just so...
We have to do...
To get these kids who have no skin in the game to go kill for us.
Yeah.
Really what we're there for in Korea is for Coca-Cola.
Yeah.
We want to be able to sell Coca-Cola.
Yeah.
And it's like the kids don't know about.
The kids don't care about this.
So how do we motivate them?
We go, oh, these guys...
Yeah.
Ladder 14.
These guys are half...
They're aliens.
Yeah.
Their face is just crazy.
Different.
They're different.
But they're not.
But they're not.
So they cause a problem.
So they cause a problem.
Bleep all of that.
Bleep at all.
Put it on the Patreon.
So they cause a little bit of an issue.
And yeah.
Because the thing is the economy was going away anyway.
Right.
It's like it was going to end.
It was like the South was just holding on.
Like it was just these big slave owners, these big tobacco plantations and stuff that were just still making money.
They were basically the oil industry of their day
and they didn't want to let go.
Like renewables are inevitable.
We're going to run out of oil inevitably.
But the oil companies are just holding on,
holding on because they're still making money.
So these rich plantation owners
just convinced all these young poor whites
to go fight for them
for a cause that was inevitable anyway.
It didn't have to go this way.
And you know what's ironic?
Robert E. Lee, because of his fucking pride
and because Virginia was super cute,
I think you can blamble.
lame Virginia for being super cute for the reason why so many people died. Because if Robert
Lee, like you aptly put, wasn't such a military genius, this war would have been over quick.
A lot of boys wouldn't have died. Brothers wouldn't have had to fight brothers. It would have been
a quick campaign. It would have been over. But Robert Lee was so good. He fought hard. And because
he became the top guy, it probably inspired a lot of people to fight under him. But this was going
away anyway because because the cotton jinny was here and we just didn't need the blacks to make the
cotton anymore. It's what it is. So you're basically saying Virginia, it's your fault. You little stop
dressing like a slut. Exactly. Yeah. She was too cute because that's the reason why Robert E. Lee
joined because of how cute fucking super cute Virginia was. Now here's the thing with Robert E. Lee.
So they lose. Okay. Eventually they lose. They got to surrender at Appomattox courthouse.
You know, Grant, the Ulysses S. Grant, the leader of the union, he allows Confederate soldiers.
the kind of the dignity and defeat, which I think is the right move because these people,
this is not a foreign nation.
They're going to assimilate back into society so they're going to need something to do.
So Lee kind of turns, you know, he goes away with at least they have their honor.
And then Lee urges he wants the reconciliation period.
He says, let's get back together.
Oops, messed up.
Because I mean, theoretically because if the union, if Lincoln and those guys, I know Lincoln
got killed, but if Andrew Johnson and who takes over for Lincoln after he gets killed,
if they were different guys, they could have been.
easily hung Robert Lee. They could have said, you're a traitor. We could kill all of you.
All of that rests on Lincoln's brilliance as a leader, right? That's what you do. When you defeat
the enemy, you lift them up. And that's when you have success, because when you humiliate them,
you get things like the Nazi party in Germany. Yeah. You got to go in there. You see that Europe
punished Germany too hard. You look at the places that we punish and it just builds resentment,
but you look at the places where we rebuilt like Japan and Germany. And then you make
them allies. Yeah. So because John Wilkes Booth killed Lincoln, we got Andrew Johnson and Andrew
Johnson wanted to punish the South. Yeah. And that's why we probably still have a lot of the problems
we have today because Lincoln wanted to extend an arm. Yeah. Raise them up. Yeah. You know,
reconstruct. Hey, you're our friends. It's over. Good fight. Right. But Johnson came in and really
punished the shit out of the South. I got to learn more about Andrew Johnson. Yeah. And that's really what got us in
trouble. So thanks John
Wolf's Booth. It was just
John Wook's Booth was like
one of these original fucking trolls.
Yeah. Who just wanted the attention. He was an actor.
Yeah. God. He was a
failed. Get him at the Golden Globes.
Exactly.
Fuck Trump. Shut up.
You know, that's why you come to the hyenas.
We know the fucking
psychology, cousin. Because this
kid was a fucking failed
actor. Yeah. Who wanted the attention.
He did it at a theater. He jumped on the
stage. Broke his leg like an
asshole. Yeah. He said, so be it to all.
tyrants they must go he gave a performance you know it was about him john wilkes both made it about him
because he wanted the recognition he was the original fucking troll the original fucking serial killer
these guys want attention oh so i'm gross if it wasn't if it if if lincoln was not killed
i'm telling you this country would be in a better place right now yeah but it's not but unfortunately
he died um he got shot in the head we will do more episode we'll do some stuff
on Andrew Johnson. John Wilkes Booth could be a good
leaky roof candidate for the Patreon
and then... Because actors are just crazy
narcissists. Here's the thing with acting
is I, you know, even though
I'm saying... Sorry, sorry, Nick. Yes, even though
I have a succumbent development.
I am saying that yet
acting is, there's a degree of narcissism there,
there's a degree of being in the echo chamber because at the end
of the day, it's like, you know,
you're just like, you know,
I got to work with last
week Steve Sharipa, you know, Bobby
Bacala on the Sopranos, and Steve is such a great guy, because Steve said what I've always felt.
He's, and Steve's an actor.
He was like, you know, acting is just, you know, like, he was like, I'm just, I'm memorizing
and giving a little bit of life to things somebody else wrote.
He was like the real, the real, he said the real heroes are the writers.
Like, I'm just, I'm taking what they did.
It's not that fucking hard guy.
He also, I like Steve Sharper.
He also kind of plays himself.
Always, yeah.
Well, he played itself in the thing that I did.
Yeah, yeah.
He just, I mean, when you go, when you hire Steve Sharper, you're not saying, okay, now,
We want you to be a Civil War era Virginia Confederate soldier.
But that would be very funny if he did that.
He's like, hey, guys, what are we doing here?
Yeah.
No, but Steve, but Steve.
Tony, what's going on?
Steve and I were talking and it's like, you know, there's truth to that where it's like, yes, you respect it all.
But it's like anytime I see an actor on his or her high horse, I'm like, guy, you're making believe you're somebody else.
I mean, that's what my daughter does.
My daughter's play dress-up every day after school.
It's the same thing you fucking do it.
Yeah.
So which is fine, but just don't talk to me like you are the end-all-be-all.
Yeah, it's just their performative.
Everything's performative.
Because they don't really have a real self.
That's why they're so good at performing as other people.
And so that's when you hear them get up there and say their thing, you're like, this is a monologue.
You're an actor.
That's why I'm a bad actor because I'm real.
Yeah.
It's like.
And that's why Nick didn't succeed in acting because you're a real one, son.
Yeah.
I mean, but at the end of the day, let's be honest, there are some good actors like Daniel
Day Lewis, Merrill Streep, Cape Blanchet, the list goes on.
Sure.
But if it's a job that Ice T.
Ethan Hawke.
Yeah.
Ethan Hawke.
Yeah.
But if it's a job that Ice T can fall into.
Yeah.
Or if a 10-year-old could get nominated for a gold of globe, then it's just not something.
It's not a skill like being a surgeon.
It's not a skill like being a podcaster.
It's not a skill.
Yeah.
But actually, this is a skill because we're doing.
nothing but people are entertained you ever hear two actors do a podcast not good yeah it's not gonna be good
it's not gonna be good yeah we know how to be entertaining all right guys robert e lee brilliant tactician
deeply flawed moral character surprisingly not a chinese guy surprisingly not a chinese guy how did robert
lee do we know how we died did he die in obscurity we don't know about robert lee's death yeah he
kind of died a kind of a sad man right he also i think pretty much wore a woman's size six shoe the
kid was a squeak. The kid was a squeak. The kid was about the size of the skin tag on my eye.
He was a tiny little squeak and I love looking at the pictures of him because I always looked at
his feet and he has tiny feet. Yeah. Kid had a major stroke. He had a kid stroked out. So probably
because the cholesterol was high, the blood pressure was high. He was also very depressed and he was very
sad about the loss but also about kind of the guilt on his conscience for all the boys that died.
And he kind of knew it was fought because like we said, he kind of.
knew slavery was an immoral thing.
He knew it was bad. So he was like, you know,
I think it was his pride that made him fight.
And I think when you lose,
I think there was that sort of awareness
in him that like this was all for nothing.
And all these boys are really
my responsibility.
Now his last words were strike the tent,
which meant break camp
often interpreted symbolically as acceptance
of death. So a lot of these guys who are generals,
they're just like,
they always have like last words
that are really cool like this. You know what
mean? How about, yeah, because Stonewall Jackson had a nice one. He was dying under the tree,
and he was like half conscious. Andrew Stonewall Jackson is going to be good at you.
Yeah, Stonewall Jackson and his last words were, oh my God, Bill Hader and Ali Wong broke up?
That's what he's. Can the news force, can the news force that down our throat to distract us?
Sometimes I read the news and I go, nobody asked for this story. Yeah. People don't care. Yeah. I
I mean, it's not a story.
A couple broke up.
Yeah.
Why am I seeing this?
It's because people consume it and it's stupid.
Can you give us his last words?
Because it were fucking cool.
Stonewall Jackson.
Thomas Jackson.
You know Stonewall Jackson lived in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn for a little while?
He did?
Did you know that?
Did he go to a Moena Bakery?
Yes.
Do you know there's the church right there by the water underneath the Vazana Bridge?
Remember we saw it?
Yes.
He was the pastor there for a little while.
Yeah.
And Robert Lee was there.
Yeah.
George Washington actually was in Brooklyn for a little while.
And now there's a lot of people who look like
There's Civil War soldiers walking around Williamsburg
Yeah, well that's why I like to play that little game
Called Hipster or History
Yeah, so as he was dying, his words famously were
Let us cross the river and rest under the shade of the tree
Because he was seeing the light
He saw the river, he saw the lake
Yeah, I mean, because what are your last words gonna be?
My last words are you going to see, let me see those feet
Yeah, let me see this, my last words to go back
Please don't give jazz with my pass words
All right, everybody
That was Robert E. Lee.

We got so many...
We got so many...
We got so many on the list.
Okay, here we go.
All right, so here's...
See, this is the thing.
What happens is the list starts out slow.
And then it picked up.
And then all of a sudden, we literally had four out of five.
And there's like eight to choose from now.
So here we go.
Bug catching, two riders.
at a time down the Mateo HIV lane.
Got to stick around for now.
Put a gas nozzle in my ass and fill me up regular.
It's got to stick around for now.

Got to stick around.
Wow.
Colonoscopy is much cheaper when you push back.
We got to stick around.
This is tough.
Potato monkey squeak with a long skinny piece.

I mean, if it wasn't,
and if it's not in immediate,
it's got to sit around them,
we've got to take it off.
Mick Dagger's great.
Great, though.
Japanese pirates at Pearl Harbor

Simple

Funny though
Yeah
Want to get it out?
Yeah
It's just what
The kids just got a new variant
Yeah
My dad voted for Mom Donnie
Now I call him my mommy
We're gonna keep that around
It's got to keep that around
I think both of my dads are gay
We're gonna Drexster that
Okay
But it's a goodie
All right
So
The list is be too
Let me read out.
We have five contenders.
Let me read them all out.
Bug catching two riders at a time down the Mateo HIV lane.
Put a gas nozzle in my ass and fill me up regular.
Ariana Grande's nutrition coach.
Colonoscopy is much cheaper when you push back or my dad voted for Mom Dani.
Now I call him my mommy.
Okay.
We're going to Drexler.
We're going to Drexler the gas.
Regular.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just it's just.
It's just the way the list
There's some better ones
But you know
You could have been a winner on another day
That's what Drexler means
Yeah
Okay
Okay so then we got
Bug catching two riders
At a time down the Mateo
HIV lane
Okay because that one's a little inside
You gotta know who Mateo Lane is
Yeah
And he's a friend of the program
He's a friend of the program
We're gonna Drex flirt
Although it's very funny
Yeah
It would be nice to have Mateo on
Calling a gay guy's asshole
The HIV lane
Instead of the HOV lane
Is great
Yeah
What would be really funny
I'd love to have Mateo on.
And if we could do it next Monday,
it would be really funny
to have Mateo on
and talk about the Chicago Bears offense.
That would be great.
That would be funny.
He's from Chicago
and have him talk football.
Yeah, and he's just like, what?
If I'm not here to talk Carbinarra,
I don't know what you're talking about.
He's like, all I want to talk about
is Caleb Williams can fucking get it.
Yeah, that's really all about it.
Yeah, that would be a 10.
Yeah.
Or have Joey Kamaster come on and talk sports.
Yeah, Joey Kamasters has got new hair plugs
and he looks great.
Looks great.
Ariana Grande's nutrition coach
That one is so good
We're going to keep it for now
Keep it now, okay
Colonoscopy is much cheaper
When you push back
We're keeping that for the funny factor
And then my dad voted from Mom Dani
Now I call him my mom
We're keeping that one for the funny fact
So the final three are
My dad voted for Mom Dani
Now I call him my mommy
Colonoscopy is much cheaper
When you push back
Oriana Grande's nutrition coach
Tough one
You know why they're tough
Because three of them are in categories
That we've all had one similar
You talk about Mom Dani a lot
we have talked about Ariana Grande, the Fumariano Grande's, and we do talk about gay stuff
with colonoscopies and all that. So this is difficult because usually one of them is something
more original and we go with that, but these are three hard ones. These are actually three
ones that I wish had their own list. Because they all are winners in their own right. They're all
winners. So for me, this is really tough. So what I'll say is what I think, my opinion is
Momdani jokes now are becoming a little bit like Asian driver jokes.
They can be done, but they have to be really original and hard.
Calling him my mommy really, really actually I think is funny.
Yeah.
And relatively original, Momdani, Mommy.
Yeah.
So I would vote for that one.
But then I could also, but colonoscopies are much cheaper when you push back is also original.
For me, the least one is Arienda Gronde's nutrition coach.
Okay, so we're going to direct so that one.
Are you in agreement with that?
That's the least one.
We're going to direct you that one.
So it's between colonoscopy is much cheaper when you push back or my dad voted for
Mom Donnie.
Now I call him my mommy.
We know who Nick's going to vote for.
Yeah.
And, you know, it's just, it's kind of cruel to say that because Ariada Grasda is just not well.
I mean, she actually looks like she's got out of a concentration camp.
Yeah, she actually, it's not like it's really like she's like she's lost her all
attractiveness.
It's gone.
She just, she looks like she's having a mental breakdown.
Her five years ago.
Yeah.
Was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
of my life. Yeah, I mean, she looked like a child, but yeah, she's a pretty child. That's why I said it.
Yeah. She really looks like a child. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm kidding. She's a tiny little child.
She's a, yeah. So, I don't know. I don't know what to do with this. What do you like? Colenoscopy or
Mom Donnie Mommy? I think colonoscopy is funnier because it's sillier, but I think Mom Dami calling
Miami. The whole picture of that is very funny. Like the guy had a father who he respected. He thought
he was a man and now he walks around and says,
Hey, Mom, because of the way he voted.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's just to me the winner.
Why don't we get, I think we should get some insight.
Let's get some midfrey from the stick and half the Jew.
Yeah, let's go.
What are we got?
Yeah, I'm going with Mondami.
I think that's a clean, funny joke.
It's been in the whole time.
Yep, yep.
Stick?
I'm a Mandami mommy.
Yeah, that's it.
That's it.
So, Mom Dani, my dad.
You were going to go with them, I'm just curious.
I was going to go with Mom Dani.
Wow, unanimous.
Yeah.
