Don’t F with Montenegro: The Slavic Giants of the Black Mountain | History Hyenas

The episode explores Montenegro’s unique history as a resilient, independent nation that resisted conquest for centuries, particularly by the Ottoman Empire. Despite repeated attempts to subdue it, Montenegro's mountainous terrain and strong tribal culture made it nearly impossible to conquer, leading to a legacy of resistance and self-governance. The Montenegrins were historically described by Ottomans as "mountain savages" or "bandits" due to their defiance of taxes, conversion, and submission. Their warrior-like tradition, deep loyalty to their community, and cultural pride in independence are central to their identity. The narrative includes anecdotes such as a man defending a dartboard with darts, symbolizing their fierce protectiveness and belief in resistance over submission. The episode also highlights Montenegro’s physical stature, noting that its people are among the tallest in the world, and draws comparisons to Viking-like resistance. Though surrounded by volatile Balkan nations, Montenegro maintained autonomy through geography and cultural strength. The discussion touches on broader themes of resistance, resilience, and identity, illustrating how geography, history, and culture shape national character. The host also shares personal stories and comedic moments involving family, travel, and pop culture, blending humor with the serious historical content. Ultimately, Montenegro is presented not just as a country, but as a symbol of unyielding spirit and cultural endurance.

Yeah, they live stone Yeah, good with that and then everything else you want to get something real nice mobile you do the Italian you go Italian if you need to do Mobile you always go Italian. It's what it is. What it is today. We're going to talk about something you go if you don't want to get conquered Yeah, there's certain people that are unconquerable and those one of those groups That's what girls. What did you think of that? Give it a score one to ten They're zero. Wow. Yeah, they're putt. See my unfortunate You gave it a 22. 22, I sucked into these devices and it's and it's sad It's just sometimes we just have to do it. We got to get through this. We got to do it my kids are here and it's what it is The interesting thing Chrissy some I would say There's a couple of cultures that are unconquerable. Right. I would I would say the Jews is one of them. Yeah Empires have risen and fall and the Jews called the Jewish culture still around there same as it's always been Yep, the Persians. I think the Persian cultures another one that has been conquered by Islamic expansions. Yes But the Persian culture is still strong and you can see it bubbling again, right another one Is the Greek yeah, yeah, you can't stamp it out. Yeah, you just can't right. Yeah, so a lot of people don't know actually that the Islamic golden age Most of the intellectuals from the Islamic golden age were actually Persian really yeah from from conquered Persian lands The great old Persian empire for modern day. I ran modern day. I ran used to be you know Cyprus the great those days and as they say, you know Rome conquered Greece but Greek conquered Rome culturally. I think the same can be said for Iran It's that Islam conquered Persia, but Persia culturally conquered Islamic and that the brand of Islam there is very Persianized So there's certain things and then you got a certain people a lot of people don't know a lot about That have a lot of pride in their clan or whatever yeah, and They used to be part of the full Yugoslavia. Yeah, which used to be I don't know. They're all, you know Miscellaneous whites down there sure but to each other they don't talk right pro-ats and the pro-ats the Serbs and the Montenegrians country big big people with big pieces. I've seen it big pieces Yeah, you got a friend who's a big yeah, go ahead. I mean you could put your head down put your head down here Give down. He's fun. You want to put your head down? Okay, you go a little sleepy wiper So Montenegro's Montenegrians Montenegrians Montenegro's Montenegro's or is the Croatian's calm slave Negro's I mean, uh mountaineer gross way so I'm saying like as mountaineerians mountaineerians mountaineerians mountaineerians It's just what it is. You understand that people. - That's the word. - That's the word. - That's their enemy. Sometimes they sing the song "Montenegrens in Paris." - They go "Montenegroians." - That's what they're called. - They're mountain people. - They live in the mountains. And these are people that just have been unconquerable. So nobody's been able to throw the yoke on these people. 'Cause they can't jump that high. You need a step stool to throw a yoke on these people because they're, I think, the second or third-pollest people in the world. - In the world. - And Marco is Montenegren and he tried to throw you out a window. - Yeah, he broke my nose. - It's just what he is. - But it'd be in the face when we had a fist fight. - Fist fight. And he tried to throw somebody out a window. - He tried to throw Tim Fud out of a window. - It was like six, eight, six. - Tim Fud is the father of Aziz Fud, who's Aziz Fud. - Connecticut. - You can't play her. - Really? - Yeah, one of the best players in the country. - Oh, right now, yeah. - Yeah, that's her father is Tim Fud, who was the best player on our team. So now, so now, so Montenegro. - I was a walk on that didn't make it, so it wasn't really our team. - It's what it is. - Yeah, but you were there. - I practiced with them. - You were a practice with them? - Yeah. - And so now the Montenegrens, what we thought was interesting about them is you can't conquer them. They're very, very tall people. The women are absolutely, are absolutely gorgeous. The guys have huge pieces, but not enough people to talk about Montenegro. - Yeah, and Marco, they're uncut. They're uncut, I mean, they just got hoods. - So he's got hoods? - He's got hood on his piece. Yeah, so he's got, so he's, he's like six foot five with a 12. - He's six eight. - He's six foot eight. - He's got a full hood, and he's got a full hood, and he laughed big when you farted at my wedding. - It's what it is. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, I mean, and thank God I dropped 750 for you on the wedding. That's a nice gift. - Because he's just the best. - He gave you 750. - No, I think he might have given me a towel. - I gave me towel. I gave you 750. - You gave me some, Nate gave me 300, it's what it is. - What the fuck? - I mean, he wasn't rich as he is now, but he was still doing really good, I think, back then. - Yeah, it's 2019. - I think he could have went higher than 300. - He gave me the same as my fucking own, it's what it is. - Yeah. - Yeah. - 'Cause I think he owes me a retroactive present, and I think he owes me some royalty points for coming up with Nate Land. I created that. - So I gave him that name. - I would sue him. - I'm gonna fucking sue you, Mr. Waller. I'm gonna sue you. - Here's the thing about the things. - Here's the thing about Montenegro is a little show known as Game of Thrones was mostly filmed there. Did you know that? Are you serious? - Yaws. - How did you know that you autistic kid? - Yeah, a little, well, it was filmed some in Croatia, but some in Montenegro. - Wow. - Yaws, and Montenegro, so Serbia, so Montenegro is a coastal place. - Gorgeous. - Because Croatia has a lot of the coast and then they blocked Serbia. Serbia, they basically blocked the ocean, but a little piece of it is Montenegro. - That's right. - Because Serbia and Montenegro is the same country, right? - Well, they are, but they're like sovereign. It's like it's called Serbia, Serbia Montenegro, or like, yeah, it's like Italy and Sicily, right? - Kind of like that, yeah. - There it is, right there. Kosovo's right next to the Kosovo. I think those, they're moths down. - They're moths down. So Montenegro, again, beautiful by the coast, but then if we're just being honest, it's surrounded by one big shit hole. - It's way so insane. - Montenegro, I need it again. - Right? I don't know about that. - It's kind of like out, yeah, but I mean, Kosovo's side of heaven. I mean, it's places are shit holes. - Well, Sarajevo, there was, you know, big, big problems in Sarajevo, you know. - Maybe they, maybe not anymore, but I mean, at one point they were shit holes. - I mean, in Paris. - Yeah. - It's not Paris, but I, you know, Bulgaria's there. - And Bosnia has gone, Vida, I mean, yeah, I mean, you got Romania around it. Bosnia. - Bullshit, Bullshit. - You got, you got Bulgarian and Albanian. - What is? - Sloths. - They're Slavic people. - And they're moths down. Most of those countries are moths down. - No, most of them in Tenegrin. - No, most of those countries are Christian. - No, no, no, most Albania are going to be a Kosovo. They're moths down. Because I think Albania is like 50, 50, maybe 60, 40 moths. I, we got to look it up. Kosovo's moths down. I think Bosnia, I think they may be moths down. Serbia's, they're orthodox. And the Montenegrians are orthodox. - Bulgarians moths down? Bulgaria is not moths down. Now, what's the difference between Greece and North Macedonia? Isn't that really just Greece? Well, that's what Alexander the Great's from up there, but they're, they're Sloths. All of us upper Sloths, they're all Sloths. They just all sectioned off and they kill each other. They fight, but they're all Sloths, right? - I actually love to go Slovenia, Croatia. Obviously, I'm just kidding about the being shitholes. I'm just doing a bit, but because they actually are beautiful places. - Yeah, and you see there, I've been to Budva. Gorgeous, on the scene, right there. - No, Budva's the city in Montenegro is right there. - You went with Marco? - I went to Marco. Yeah, I went there. Yeah, I went there. - Budva, beautiful on the other. - Gorgeous, gorgeous. - Pull up a little picture of Budva, Budva's nice. And let me tell you something, because when I, the people over there, I felt like Alice in Wonderland, because I went, when I went, I went from Italy, where everyone's very short, right? To kind of squeakish, and then I went from Italy and we flew to Montenegro, and then I was a squeak. - It's just what I mean. - They are literally, I think it's the Danish Montenegro and some tribe in Africa are the three tallest people in the world. On average, their chicks are like five, nine average. You'll see chicks like six foot, six, one, nice long legs. - Yeah. - I mean, these people are gorgeous, 'cause. - Now, do they do flights into Montenegro? You got a slingshot. (laughs) - Way on stage. - I think you can take a sling shot. - You got to take a sling shot. - You got to take a sling shot to a coach like that. - Italy or something like that. - Yeah, then I'm flying in there. - There's not a lot of direct flights to Montenegro. You got to do a connecting slingshot. - Yeah, you got to just what it is. Now, Montenegro, nice. My boy, Marco is a handsome kid and when he was young, he was real handsome. And here's a blue out a little bit now. He still looks good. He almost got killed in Times Square. He almost got killed in Times Square by that guy with the car, which was wild. If you go watch that video, listen to this. This is a true story. It's so wild that it was him. So there was a infamous thing where a guy in Times Square drove his car onto the side and hit a bunch of people. This was like, what, eight years ago? - He felt like that, yeah. And the first guy that jumps out of the way, he's unmistakable in the video because he's so big was Marco. He said, because he was a professional basketball player, he said he used the Duke like he was able to use a first step to get out of there. Yeah, so he almost got hit by that guy first step. Yeah, he was the first guy who almost got hit. - That's what it is. - And then he moved and other people got hit. - That's what it is. - Yeah, but he's a real good looking guy in college. He's a fun story, right? So I was trying out for the team so I knew him. And he was an academic old American, he's a real smart kid. But he would sit by himself and he would eat ice cream. He would like space out. And Montenegroons are just tough people, right? Like so during practice, he would just start throwing blows at somebody, he would just start throwing blows, kicking and punching, they would bang in the post and then he would just fight someone and then we'd be over and then he'd play and then he'd fight someone else. I mean, he had butted me in the face, just what it is. And so he'd be sitting there with his mean look on his face and his chain eye, and he was looking at his ice cream like that, right? And he would use his hair, it was always like a little shiny 'cause he would put like grease in his hair. And I was sitting with this gay guy from my floor, on my dorm floor. I was friends with, and he was just looking at him. The gay guy just looked at him and he goes, "Oh, only a sound the gay guy could make." Like he came from like in his gut, he was like, "Oh, he's so fuckable." (laughing) And I started dying and Marco looked over and he never knew and I told him later what he said. And it was funny. And then Marco was, he was disgusting. No, it was funny 'cause Marco has gay music tests. He likes to pet shop boys. Big. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big into the pet shop boys. So he's a little, he got a little neck. I think what happens is when you're a smart kid, you're just, there's a little gay spray on you. Yeah, it's just what it is. It's just how it goes. Like in Montenegro because he's such a smart guy, they assume he's a gay man. I think he's like the you from Ridgewood, they just go, he must have got necked. Right, but the only difference is Marco just had but you will bite you, he'll just get on you. Yeah, it's just a little crazy. It's crazy. One time I thought he was gonna kill our other friend. Yeah, because my other friend was an alcoholic and he threw out vodka in his face and I thought he was gonna kill him. It's one that I had to stop him. Yeah. But Montenegro is interesting 'cause because the Ottomans couldn't get it. They tried it. They tried it because 'cause they would call them like mountain monsters or something. And these guys would just, they would eat 'em up. Who do you think would win in a fight? The Montenegro's versus the Vikings. Very similar, but I think it's more famous. Yeah, I think the, I think the Macedon, I mean the Montenegro's, I think the Ottomans actually call them mountain giants. So they had a lore about them. And they were like, we just can't conquer these people. 'Cause mountainous areas are just, can you make it bigger? So mountainous areas are very hard to conquer. So obviously they come, the Montenegro's are southern sloths, right? And Slav is the word slave. Comes from Slav. Yeah, 'cause the Ottomans, it comes from the word Slav because the Ottomans used to enslave these kids. That's what it is. And so they would just, instead of calling them a slave, they just called it, how many Slavs do you got? Right. And it just became slaves, right? So, but the Montenegro's, they couldn't get. It was a little tribe of Slavs. They couldn't get it. These kids were just big, big boys. Yeah, I mean they got the Albanian, big, big. They got the Greeks big. They got all the other ones big. But they couldn't, this was like a little, [BLANK_AUDIO] Oasis in the middle of it that they just could not conquer. They kept trying they kept trying and they couldn't get it So we're you know, we're talking about the Balkan peninsula and You know, they're orthodox Christian they speak serval Croatian so the Croat speak that language of Serbia and speak it the Montenegro and speak it and They had a big medieval kingdom. They're called Zeta. Yeah, that is data. Peace. Yeah, under king mihalio and Then it was absorbed by the Serbs. So that's where they come together and it was absorbed into the Serbian dynasty empire But it's got this like very famously mountainous terrain that has always kind of Fossil and all that makes it unique is that the mountains aren't impossible to control So sometimes because geography is destiny It is look at Afghanistan can't be conquered because of the mountains and we can't be conquered because of the oceans Yeah, Jesus loves certain places. Yeah. Well, once we get Greenland We're nobody's fuck with you know, do you know what what the reason is to with Greenland? Why? Why? How important that is all I know is I saw Miss Greenland and I was like get it. Got it. She was a piece Get it. What is it? So because any nuclear ballistic missile that would be shot our way from Russia or China All of them the trajectory like 85% of them have to go over the Arctic circle Greenland so with this iron dome that the United States is trying to build Greenland is imperative to own that Because then they can build that iron dome over Greenland and they can't get the nuke over Greenland and if they can't get the nuke over Greenland It's very difficult to get them any other way and you're almost like pretty much a hundred percent protective Yeah, I mean, we're going to whatever way you slice it. We're getting Greenland. Yeah, so what we're going to take it But what is the actual thing because you didn't say that we got it. It's like like what's what happened at Davos? Do we have it or do we have it at Davos is The conference in Switzerland where I gave everyone a talking to that's what happens a wild. Yeah, he was just like you're all mooching off of us You're all shit you all owe us money. Yeah, we're getting out of here. We're pulling out of who Well, I have the organization where you're ripping us off. We're looking to do fair He's like I'm looking at a few of you right now. I've been very nasty to me. You've been very nasty and he said that for me Well, I mean, have you seen it? No, he was talking goes you won't even make eye contact with me a few of you in this room I've been very nasty to me ripping me off and McCron I like McCron he's good guy. I do like McCron, but he says no Donald. We can't do that. We're not gonna do it Guess what? I said if you don't do it, we're gonna slap a tariff on you. Guess what? He did it. They all do it They all do it. Yeah, so I'll be nasty. You've been ripping us off and you've been that see us. Oh my god So Larry, so what is the status right now? We have Greenland. We do not have Greenland. No, and we're not gonna get green We're off for the buddy. I think the offer was what like 770 Bill 700 Bill something like that and then every There's only 30,000 people on there like 35,000 people and then each one of those people would get a hundred hundred K cash Yeah, yeah, so that was the author they wanted the people wanted no the people don't I Well, I think some name, but most I think no Denmark is going like no, but Denmark is Denmark really involved in Greenland it's kind of a weird thing. It's like it's not Denmark doesn't really own it outright either. No, no nobody actually owns. No, it's just the people there Yeah, it's kind of Greenland, but it's 30,000 folks. So do you think is there's less people in there's more people in Bay Ridge It's just what Greenland yet 30,000 isn't even like one barbecue at my house. Yeah, it's not a lot of people So I because I I feel like the media has been deliberately like confusing about this I don't know what the status is from from this Davos conference. I don't know they said that Like they were in negotiations, but it's not like there's front page news. U.S. now has Greenland What is the status Jesse? Do we know what's going on? What if what what are they saying? Trump said he made a deal Trump said he made it. What's that mean? Well, that's Trump for you, right and they made a very good deal They're gonna greet everything we say, you know, I know at some point he did say they call me a dictator He goes I am a dictator and sometimes you need a dictator. Yeah, so he's wild He's a wild boy. He's like sometimes you need what and I have one. Yeah, he doesn't care anymore. Yeah, he just doesn't care He's old. Yeah, he just doesn't care.

Yeah, these these Montenegrians from the 15 to the 19th century They were going up against the Ottomans right right so It was one of the furious like I said that the Ottoman Empire just couldn't get even though they constantly kept trying and when you can't get it It means you really really wanted you want it more yeah, they were chasing it. They couldn't get it um, and it's because these Montenegrians have like a very warrior like culture right these guys are crazy, so um, they never really got control and the highlands remained self-governing no matter what they tried and Montenegro continued a function as a tribal federation Confederation and they use guerrilla warfare where they would just abuse these they would just walk these Ottomans off these These they at night they would like just come out and these giants would just come out of the mountains and just like real They'd make shish kabab yeah, it's what they just made donar sandwiches out of these kids What did it with frequent ambushes? They refused to pay taxes um, and the Ottomans just tried multiple times to launch as much cruelty as you can but they couldn't do anything And because they were getting hit with axes and then their pieces they were just like it was almost like fighting Vikings Yeah, they were like they were crazy and also Serbia and Russia also fought with them too um, but You know, it's it's just they have that clan culture up there Where warfare was just part of their identity. Yeah, yeah, so they were just warriors And they became a real like symbol of like resistance against the musseys Yeah, the musseys just couldn't get them. Yeah, so you know, it's an interesting thing to compare them to the Vikings um Because they are kind of Viking like yeah, it is pretty interesting to just being a Comedian how it's like how our lives can be so different like we're here doing this you know like Leaning in chairs my kids running beanbag waiting for pizza and Shane's got five shows sold out of Madison Square Garden He's got five right? Yeah, yeah, and we're just sitting here reading Montenegro in fact, so I'm touchy pt haha It's just what it is cuz yeah, but I'd rather be us. Yeah, yeah me too. Yeah me too. I'd rather be a soldier And I before his wedding. Yeah, it's what it is. So I'll go out to cancel his bachelor party to Puerto Rico this weekend. Oh, he did. Yeah. He asked me if I wanted to go. I said, I go to Puerto Rico every day. Why is it? Is that because ice is down there? Yeah. Well, because yeah, there's ice in the sky and ice on the streets. So the way the Ottomans talked about them was pretty fun. The Ottomans. They called them rebellious and insubordinate. They called them bandits and they called them people of disorder. And they were repeatedly described as problematic outsiders who refused to behave like subjects. What it is. And these people do not accept order was the way they called them mountain savages. Yeah. It's what it is. They call them mountain savages and they sometimes would change out the word savage to some lower. Say something. They would say something else, crude people, but dangerously capable. They're mountains. These are some of the quotes from some of the Islamic writers at the time. They were described as fanatically Christian, deeply loyal to their orthodox clergy and just resistant to the marco. They resist. They had an immunity to the virus. It's just what it is. The straight didn't affect them. Is Marco fanatically Christian? No. He's more atheist. That's personal, I guess. Damn. Interesting. Yeah. So some Ottoman governors complained that they submit with their tongues, but not with their hearts. That's a polite way of saying they lied us. Yeah. And they were known to fight to the death. And they preferred annihilation to submission. Here's some more quotes. These people are impossible. Another one. This land is not worth the cost. Yeah. These are all quotes. Can you just he pull up an ancient Montenegro in what they looked like? Yeah. I want to see what they looked like. This is just what it is. And the throw didn't point up. Here's another one. Another quote from an Ottoman military guy. They are poor stubborn mountain Christians who refuse order, refuse taxes, refuse conversions, and cannot be crushed without wasting men and money. So they would just eat and they would just eat in these Turks. It's just one. Yeah. I mean, look at them. They're big boys. We got a picture of one up here. I mean, this guy is just about to bed somebody else. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know Marco. I knew a couple of other guys who are from Montenegro. They are just big. There's been a few dudes in the NBA from Montenegro. Yes. Yeah. A lot of basketball players come out of Montenegro and Serbia. Joke is just from Serbia, right? Yes. He's another big boy. Yes. Yes. Is Joke out? Yes. For the season. That's a while. Yes. What do you do again? It's for a month. Oh, it's just a month. They banged up his knee. It's going to bruise. Yeah. Yes. Joke is, I think actually people don't understand might be the best, you might put up the best nights of all time. He might. He might actually be the best NBA player of all time. Yeah. I think a lot of Montenegrians end up playing professional basketball because Montenegro means there. People of the Black Mountain. Is that where it is? So it's just no matter what edge of the earth you're in, people find a way to get a little racist. Yeah. They do. Yeah. The cowers armies, the mountain itself fights alongside them. Right. So they had like they were like a boogie man to the elements like they just put in. They killed wounded enemies. They preferred death. And one guy said there's no victory here, only survival. Priests command warriors, Priests carried weapons, bishops ordered killings. Yeah. They just were not what they fuck the way. You don't fuck with them. I was just trying to get wild now, I saw a video of a priest DJing the other night, that's a real DJ. Yeah. You see this guy? I did see that. Yeah. So it's just, yeah, honey. I know we've been here for a long time, honey, we're almost done. All we have, baby, is the pizza is going to come and then we're going to read out the Patreon names. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yeah, honey. So. So I'll tell you a funny story. Tell me. So Marco took us to this like mountain village in Montenegro. In Montenegro. Did you have a shirtless? No, he didn't. First of all, when we got there, this was like right before Clinton decided to like bomb over there. Okay. So you went in the 90s. Yeah, 99. Yeah, you were young. Yeah, you're just an old kid. Yeah. So it was me and Todd Robinson. Okay. Who was black? Yeah. Who didn't give you anything for you wedding. So everyone back then the internet wasn't a big thing. So these people had never seen a African-American. So everyone was pointing at him and just yelling Jordan. Kids would yell Jordan, they'd take pictures of them, take pictures with them because they'd never seen. He's a big boy too, though, right? Six one. He's about your height. And he's big. He was, you know, but, you know, six one so big. But there, I mean, he's just average, but they were just going Mike Jordan, Mike Jordan, and then they would just take pictures of them like he was a celebrity. Wow. Because he was, all they knew was Michael Jordan. So he took us to this mountain village and we met this guy there that Marco is friendly. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. It's very rural, dude. And I mean, you're talking about like people eating animals outside, like very rural into the mountain. We were in, we were, we went where the Montenegrines lived. Like, it wasn't a big tourist area, but the tourist area is a little bit of like Budva, it was like that. We weren't, I can't remember the name of it, but we went to this mountain village and we met this guy, right? Who Marco knew? And he was like the crazy guy in the town, but not crazy like in a non-dangerous way, crazy in like a dangerous way. Okay. But Marco knew him. So what would he do? That was crazy. I'll tell you the story right now because this is as leaky as you get. Yeah. This is as leaky as you get. So after we left him and I was like, so who is that guy? He was like, yeah, that guy, he's, he's, he's, he's off. People, you know, treat him well because it's very dangerous and it's just what it is. He was a big guy. And so there was this one story told, so he goes, this is a famous thing that happened in the town. He was at some pub, some bar or whatever, like restaurant, they're, everyone's drinking, you know, and this guy was playing darts, right? So this guy who we met, who we hung out with, goes over. None of them spoke a lick English. I don't know what any of them were saying, right? So Marco was telling us, so the guy, this guy goes over to the guy playing darts and he goes, what are you doing? And he goes, what, what do you mean I'm, I'm playing darts, he goes, no, what are you doing? Do the dart board? He goes, I'm, I'm playing darts. And he goes, he goes, how would, how would you feel if I, if I threw through that, you, how do you think the dart field feels? It's like you're hurting the dart board, okay? So he was like, and then he took the darts and he started stabbing the guy with the darts. Yeah. Because he said he was defending the dart board. Right. He said he were hurting the dart board. Yeah. And he wasn't thinking about the dart board's feelings. And then he said, he turned the guy into a dart board. It's what it is. So the guy would learn a lesson about what the dart board was feeling, did he kill the guy? I don't know. I don't remember if he killed the guy, but he's, he started throwing the darts at the guy. It's what it is. That's called the leaky room. It's called, it's called fully blown off room. Yeah. I think this is here. We'll be right back. That's what it is. Ooh. Cause tell me about fat dogs. I was getting fat. So I said, I need factor because before that, I was on fatter.

Okay, and then we're gonna get, she wants to watch Young Sheldon with you. She loves you. All right, speaking of love, Montenegro's. - Yani. - Yeah, what a bottom. - I mean. - What? Delilah, can you please just put on Young Sheldon? What girl keeps texting you? Okay, she's to bother, just ignore her. Just ignore her, say that I'm with my dad and my TT and I'm listening to them do their podcast about Montenegro. Tell them that. And then say, I need to watch Young Sheldon with my sister. - Yeah. - Come on. 'Cause we always do this. We always break to eat pizza and then we're too tired to do the rest of the episode. We're gonna, we always have to do is muscle it out. - I say we just start reading the Patreon. We could start doing that, but let me just say some, 'cause that helps. - Bangers of the Patreon names. - Facts help too. - Yeah. - Montenegro is actually an independent-- - He knows the fact that you're a pee. - I'm a pee, so are you. - Yeah. - Montenegro is actually an independent country six two since 2006. - Oh wow, it depends on people. - Yeah, Serbia is a separate country. They have diplomatic relations, but also they have tensions with each other. - Montenegro, I mean, I wanna go big, but that's what we call a boys trip. - That's a boys trip because it's a tough place. And here's the thing. They have never successfully been conquered. - It's what it is. - The Venetians had some coastal towns like Bhutva, which I've been for a little while. The Ottomans nominally occupied it, they said, but they really didn't. - 'Cause what's a Venetian from Venice? - From Venice. - So Venice used to be their own country? - Yeah, Venice used to be its old little empire. They also conquered, they were all over the plate. They were in creed. They were running around the Venetians. - Whoa, have you ever been a Venice? - 'Cause. - Is this a cute city? They've ever been there and I wanna go. - Girls, do you wanna go to Venice? Where do you girls wanna go on vacation? Potatoes, try to do it. - Do you wanna Paris or Hawaii? - Paris or Hawaii? - I wanna go to Cape of Argentina. - Or Argentina. - Or Argentina? Ooh, that'll not see. (laughs) - I wanna go to Cape of Argentina. - You wanna go to Cape of Argentina? Do you wanna go to a little country called Korea? Do you wanna go to Montenegro? Would you wanna go to Montenegro girls? No, okay. It's a beautiful country with big, tall, beautiful people. No. All right, 'cause, well, I got one of the big, one of the big sayings in Montenegro. We will starve, but we will not kneel. - It's just what it is. - Do you wanna play with those people? - No. - Do you wanna play with Montenegrees in the sand? - Here's the thing, 'cause it's, I'm just gonna be honest with you. As I know, I don't even have to do the ancestry.com. I know for a fact I'm not Montenegro 'cause I absolutely will kneel. - Yeah, you don't have any scared little boy. - Yeah, you don't have any of that Viking stuff to you. - No. - You wanted German stuff. - Yeah, you just ran inside. - Yeah. - When you saw a deer. - I ran inside my car. - You got scared of a deer. - You were with the dog. I started running away and I left my daughter and the dog outside. - Yeah, I mean, what is that about? 'Cause I get scared of wildlife. (laughs) - I get scared in the area I live in 'cause there's deer. When I think there's deer, then I think there's bears. Yeah, you know, it's interesting because some of the toughest kids from the city, like, especially minorities, they're scared of the country. - Yeah. - They're scared of wildlife and stuff 'cause we only grow up with squirrels. It's always in pigeons and that's it. - Squirrels, rats, pigeons, cockroaches. - I feel safer around a crackhead than the deer. - Yeah, exactly, it's weird. Now, would you trade stink bugs for cockroaches or you haven't experienced stink bugs yet? - No, stink bugs are in the house. - They're relentless cause. - And they don't stop, and they come in the winter. - Yeah, they're like the Chinese bugs, they don't give up. - Wait, so, what happens with a stink bug? If you crush it, it'll stink, makes a little stink, but some people are impervious to it. I must be pretty smelly 'cause it don't bother me, none. - It don't bother me. - I don't smell anything, but I pop 'em quick. - Once or twice a week, one of the girls, yes, honey. Delilah, honey, can you please just put on young children for your sister? We're almost done. Put something else on. We need K-pop in the demon hunters. - Can you push K-pop in the demon hunters? Can you put anything on? - I like to call it two-pop in the demon hunters. - Come on. - We don't block the honey, but we're a big girl. - Oh, you don't watch any more of your big girls now? That's for a little baby. - That's for little babies, not for grown-ups like you. Guess what, guess what, guess what, guess what, guess what? I have two dogs. I have two dogs. - Well, I have two dogs, two because I'm gonna take this for them. - She's gonna take potato. - She's gonna take, she's gonna take your dog. - She's gonna take your dog, that's it. - Wow. - Now, what would happen? Now, what side does that come from? - That she wants the dogs? - Yeah, that she could take it. - That she's gonna take a dog? - Yeah. - That's a part. - That's when that son said part. - Yeah. - That used to be your dog. That was my dog. - I don't know how to say this. - Mine. - Trick, yeah. - Yeah, she, first time she ever met Sergio, she thought it was her uncle. So it's just what it is. She thought Sergio was a member of the family because she's got the most beautiful smile. - She's a beautiful girl. - I know. - Got a great, sunny disposition. - A guy came up to us at the mall two weeks ago and asked she wanted to be a model. I said, get away from my kid. - Yeah. - Get away from me and my kid. The answer is no. - The answer is no, get out of here. - You know what it is? She looks like she's from the 70s. My daughter. - Yeah. - She got like 70s vibes to her. - Yeah. - And she's playing with the whoopie cushion. - She's playing with the whoopie cushion. - Yeah, that you like that? It makes fart noises. - Nope, can't be a camera. - Yeah, then she went the other way. - 'Cause you better keep boxing 'cause you got two beautiful daughters. You could have to protect them. You can't run away if you're gonna run away from beer. What are you gonna do? - It's what it is. - If there's guys. - 'Cause I hope, I just hope and pray that my daughters are just, it'll be easier. - Easier if they were just. - Right. But here's the thing, do you know there's a lot of, there's a lot of domestic violence in the lesbian community which I couldn't believe. The most domestic abuse happens amongst, I gotta be honest with you, if my daughter, and there was a domestic abuse situation, I'd go over to their house and I'd beat the shit out of it. - For touching my daughter. - I would just lay hands on that. - Yeah, yeah, just be easier. - It would just be easier because the truth is is if she was in a heterosexual relationship and her husband put hands on her and if he was a big guy that could throw hands, I might just not know what to do. I might have to call Tommy and then, or I might just have to call a lawyer. - Yeah. - But if it was a woman? - Yeah. - Yeah, I just, when I get scared, I wanna go and Tommy glue cheese lap. - Yeah, yeah, it's honey. - And I was not playing them children. - I put something on. - She decided not to watch it. - Why did you put on? - It's not a movie, it's just a grown fox in the end. - It's not a grown fox. - Okay, something I need to do for school and she can watch it. - All right, Delilah, can you please turn off Gimkint or whatever it is? And just for five minutes, put on young children for her, please, can you just do it so we can get through this? - You just got no leverage as a dad. It's just, that's when you need the mom to come in and they just listen to mom, they don't listen to dad. - What mom will do is just take the iPad out of their hands and threaten to drop it off a fourth foot story. - And this is what it is, you know, with girls, it's just the way it goes is the mothers do all the work with girls, the mothers actually do all the, a lot of the rearing, but then the girls love their dad. And I think the reason is 'cause they're all women, essentially, and I think the whole goal of women is to knock off the queen. - So when they grow up, they gotta knock off the queen. - And they always fight with the mothers. You ever hear daughters and mothers? - Yeah, they fight. - I make my five year old and my wife already fight and my mother and my mother-in-law, I mean, my wife and my mother-in-law go at it. - They didn't talk for months. - They go at it. - Yeah. - Yeah, one time, they just had a room. - Physical multiplication. - Really? - And then they both came to me like it was slightly. And then they came to me and they were like, they were telling me what they did. They're like trying to prove the other side and I was like, get me out of here. - I don't know. - I don't want any part of this. - Yeah, I mean, you had the wig on, you were doing Gambia. - Yeah, I mean, the women just, they go at each other 'cause have you noticed that? - Oh yeah, they're already, I mean, 'cause here's the truth, there's two as fathers. It's like, I just want my kids to have a good time. I really, I really don't care. - Right. - Like, just stay on the iPad, eat ice cream. I just want you to have a good time, baby. Right, you just, we just wanna have fun for fun. - I was okay. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - When the women are like, yeah, now they said it. - That's right. - This way, this way. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just like, yeah, I mean, who cares. - Yeah, but that's what kind of actually keeps them healthy 'cause if it was just us, they'd be eating donuts every night for dinner. - Yeah, I mean, I don't think I've ever said no to them when she was like, she wants donuts and pizza. I'm like, me too, baby, let's do it. (laughs) - It's like, mom, but jazz has to come and say, we have to, all their plates always have the little vegetables, the little protein. - Yeah, wow. - She's very healthy, right? - She's more healthy, yeah, yeah. But I was eating tortellini out of the pot in my hands last night. - You were, right? - Where'd it go? - Come in. - Yeah. - And my girls just look at me. - Yeah. - And a lot of times what my girls will do is they won't finish their food and they'll just all slide their plates to me. - Yeah. - They just know to do that now. - You know, I'm telling you, dude, you're fighting against the current man. You don't have the genes of the DNA to be able to eat the way you keep trying to make yourselves eat. You just, what you gotta do is control the sweets. So, 'cause you're a guy who just needs like a big turkey. Like, I mean, you're a big kid. - Multiple. - You need food. Multiple doctors now, multiple fitness guys. It's just the sweets you have a freaking problem with. - One of them being tanks in atro. - Stop being such a fruit loop with the sweets. - With the sweets. - I can't stop being sweet. But they said it's time for GLP once. It's time to just go on ozampic or go on Moonjaro. Just microdose it and do it because that controls the sweetest craving and that, the bad part about sweets is your A1C, your blood sugar, and that's what GLP ones do. They lower that. Have you ever tried just fruit to satiate it? Then I dip it in. 'Cause you're a fruit. - Yeah, 'cause I'm a fruit. - And how about my dad? You know, he lost all this weight three years ago, right? And then I, you know, he lost all this weight. He said he just started eating half a tuna sandwich, whatever. And then I was looking to do his medication. He was at the house. He's been on ozampic for three years. He didn't even know. He didn't even know he was on some type of way. He was on semi-glutite. 'Cause he's the original reality as a suggestion now. - Just what it is. - Yeah, yeah. So he was taking credit, but the kid had what it called, step stool. - Yeah, shit. I do a little ozampie. - You know, if I would look at you and go, you're a guy who needs ozampie. You're just a guy who needs to put down the black and white and just do once a week or something. You can't do every day, sweets. Sweets are for birthday parties. - Yeah, I mean, I-- - They're for parties. 'Cause I don't eat sweets ever unless it's a party. - Should I do maybe sweets? Should I try to just to, just to win off it, so I could do sweets three days a week? And then we'll start to get it down to two and a one. - Get it down to two and a one, yeah. - Three days a week is when I do sweets. - Yeah, but there should be no reason you're having a grown man should be having sweets three times a week. - So I shouldn't have been-- - The only people that do that are kids. - Yeah, it's what it is. - So I shouldn't have had-- I shouldn't have-- - They struggled with a big-- - I shouldn't have had my daughter's birthday cake slices today. - No, you didn't need that, no. - Yes, what's up, honey? - I smell, but they're doing their nails. - Oh. - They're doing their nail polish. - All right, let's get to the-- - 'Cause can you guys do my nails next? - Yeah. - Do you want to do Johnny's feet? - All right, let's do the Patreon names.
