Jewish in the South w/ David Cross | History Hyenas

The podcast episode features comedian David Cross in a wide-ranging, humorous, and candid conversation with hosts Chris Estefano and Yannis Papas. Cross shares personal anecdotes, including childhood experiences of anti-Jewish taunting in rural Georgia, and reflects on pivotal moments in his comedy career, such as being inspired by his 1999 HBO special *Back the Pride*. He recounts a shocking real-life incident where he was shot in the leg during a stand-up performance in SoHo, adding a layer of gritty honesty to his storytelling. The discussion shifts to broader themes like parenting, age gaps in marriage, and cultural attitudes, with Cross expressing conservative political views and skepticism toward public education. The episode is also filled with comedic product endorsements, including Pesty (for bug control), Rough Greens (a pet supplement), and Quo (a business phone system), all promoted through affiliate links. Despite the often satirical tone, the conversation reveals Cross’s deep personal connection to his identity, experiences, and worldview, blending vulnerability with sharp wit. The episode underscores how comedy serves as both a creative outlet and a vehicle for social commentary, while maintaining an authentic, unfiltered dialogue between hosts and guest.

went to uh we went to munich together yeah and then we went to dachau concentration camp visit it was wild yeah it was what was wild for us to notice is like you know we're comedians so whatever always down to like mess around but at the concentration camp we were like you know being pretty serious and respectful and then there were people there just like snapchat filtering it's they had a qr code on one of like the old gas chambers i was like what the hell you do yeah they should take your phone like they should take it yeah yeah yeah and the uh i thought i found the gift shop very distasteful yes the the little stress balls they yeah time or the place guys yeah not right it should be a somber it should really be somber it shouldn't be a somber gift shop yeah you know uh yeah just um like just some i don't know mock zyklon b yes like pillows yeah things like that yeah they were selling vacuum cleaners and dust busters and we didn't like that yes yeah we don't like well they got upkeep you know they got expenses and gold coins i didn't right the gold coin i didn't love that i didn't like that either i didn't love i mean i bought a few obviously i have children but i mean it's an investment yes an investment yes yeah yeah um you could get one of those yuden stars yeah that's good for the they were made out of maple sugar i don't again it's just distasteful i find yeah yeah and then remember my daughter was she had just started talking then and then unfortunately her first word people always ask what's the first word her first word was juden and and that was just because we had just taken that trip so but she but she did it while pointing yes yeah yeah yeah yeah um man this went this went uh this veered off yes immediately yeah i mean we just we just said kosher and then we went down i don't know yeah deep down the well yeah we'll get it well you know how it is in podcasting now we just really need 90 seconds of a clip so the rest of this is irrelevant yep i'm good do you like podcast do you feel like it's a way for comedians to just show their talents without having any executives or you know infrastructure in the way no i mean as far as talent no i mean i there are people that are uh naturally funny conversationally um that have you know have aren't stand-ups but stand-up is a completely different yeah completely different skill set yeah right that is true yeah i think i think with podcasting now for us like our generation is like you know we think like oh this is where we're like we'll get our ideas out where it used to be like stand up at night is where you get your ideas out but you realize you could say something that's really funny on a podcast and you bring it to stage and it bombs immediately it's a totally different thing totally different thing and it's you know there's yeah there's less uh and also it's also people having a conversation talking over each other so yeah not one person up there going you know using cadence yeah delivery and now yannis you you're one of his favorite comedians um your special in 99 was it i think was your inspiration to start stand up you told me i'll be honest yeah i think 99 there was like uh i had just come out of college and there was like you know two specials was george carlin's at that time i think it was called you're all and then which was i thought like one of his best and then yours on hbo at that time what was it what was it called right is back the pride is back i mean that was an incredible hour well and it inspired me in comedy and uh it also made me an organ donor i don't know if it was that special but you had a joke of you had an organ donor a donor joke that was so funny but it also made me go like yeah oh the thing about the uh necrophiliac yeah yeah yeah you're like yeah i don't care what you do with my body you can and whole circle jerk around me because i'm dead yeah i don't know if i said that but i think you did because i think that's where i draw the line no i think you did okay i think you did i maybe that was the to ease into the necrophilia i think you ease yeah i think you ease in there you didn't start necrophilia right you you that's the brought them along took their hand held their right you let them trust you first yeah yeah and what was good about that is you became an organ donor and then you became a necrophiliac and then you became a necrophiliac and then you became a necrophiliac and started stand-up comedy and then immediately got shot as soon as you started comedy that's true immediately his man was shot in the leg yeah were you really yes yeah yeah what happened because of a bad set yeah because of the pride is back he got shot wait what happened totally unrelated but it was when i started comedy yeah but it was two years later 2000 and 2001 right jesse 2001 yeah got shot so tell me the circumstance it was an attempted robbery a would carry cash out and it was like an attempted robbery on him and i was there and i got shot point blank range jesus yeah in the butt right in the in the leg it traveled to the butt but it traveled to the butt do you feel because i've never been shot but do you have you ever told the bullet went up the bullet went from inner thigh up into the butt cheek but where was the guy shooting from the ground no he was in the car and i pushed his arm down and he fired oh i was in the car i was in a jeep cherokee trying to close the door yeah oh yeah and he just yeah pumped it where was this yeah this was uh in soho on hudson hudson and varick at this old club called uh envy oh it was and it was a little sketchier back then too yeah well no soho wasn't but that club was but that uh varick was you know a little bit still kind of industrial-ish no no then it was like it was it was a pretty good area it wasn't like it is today it was more yeah a little bit more industrialist but not bad did you call the cops right away or what cops were already there because the nightclub on that night my friend was a promoter that night that night was a constant problem something else happened at that club uh there was like some promising director or something this is a horrible story so this was a really like gangster comedy night i mean uh club night it was either a tuesday or wednesday and my friend was one of the promoters and i worked there i just started doing comedy i was doing the door or whatever so the cops were always there just because the neighborhood you know so they were complaining so much about you know they were always there on another night you remember this story jesse was like crazy this young director he was just getting his start he was like getting really big some you know drug dealer whatever criminal shot another guy outside that club uh while he was in his car and the guy started driving like while he was shot and he got plugged like six times or whatever and he's driving and then he dies at the wheel and he just hits this director who was walking at like two in the morning by himself and killed him damn yeah so it was completely random yeah so it was like you know the community board definitely wanted to shut that night down yeah yeah but you still have the bullet in your leg no they took it out damn they took it out did i ever tell you the story when they took it out true story they took it out they put you in the stirrups because they had to remove it from here and as i was coming to i farted right in the face of the surgeon and the nurse because you just i didn't know where i was i just farted oh you had passed out after they shot you no no they put me under the surgery oh okay because you're in a hundred places but not this one yeah i thought now how come you couldn't just fart the bullet out did anybody approach you with that no nobody ever said like did you ever try to put some wind behind in some real yeah no yeah that is a good point yeah now luckily it didn't hit any organs that was the thing a major artery runs down the leg and when i got to the hospital there was a female doctor who was putting her finger in my my ass to like check yeah yeah and push the bullet right try to see where it was if it done damage i don't know now david you've really screwed me over um you don't even realize because a few days ago um on caleb simpson show the the house guy show you gave a tour of your home and um very funny uh tour and the problem is i showed my wife because like look at how funny this bit is because you know you're sleeping in the crate downstairs whatever and not understanding understand i mean i knew the home was beautiful but not understanding that a woman is going to look at that and look at the decor and the from the coffered ceilings to the stained glass windows to the beautiful kitchen to how gorgeous your home is and now what's happened to me is she's been asking me like how much money do we have what have we saved all of that stuff that you just uh cited was stolen was stolen yeah okay so that's good if she's going to listen to this tell her because she is now has i have a contractor coming to my house my wife steal it so right that's on her she wants to decorate yeah she could steal it go steal the stuff okay i'm not paying for it yeah because that's what you say to her that's what i'll say to her yeah you're a white christian nationalist 100 yes yes and she's latina so i can go into this you know yeah i can do the uh there's a million things i can do with her you could do so you know but but it is like there's a contractor i as i was leaving today saying oh i've david

never heard it i'm a professional yeah envelope of cum is the You know, you send someone an envelope of Anthrax or. Right. Oh, look who decided to show up, our producer, Nick. Yeah. On the day that. The most excited to meet you. Yeah, probably one of your biggest fans, and then you show up an hour and a half late. Yeah. You envelope have come. What happened? Was there like a Chilean parade we didn't know about? Oh, did we not tell. Oh, we didn't tell him that we started at 11. Well, even if it wasn't 11.30, it's 11.39. Yeah. All right, fine. You're right. I can't stay mad at you. You just missed an envelope of cum. Yeah, you just missed a good joke. That's all right. Yeah, get out of your boat. Sorry. This is Nick. Yeah, that's. Hi, Nick. He's a good man. He's a good man. You have a big age gap with your wife. So do I. Yeah. I got a little bit of an age gap. It's nice, right? You kind of. You get married to a girl and then also can use her as a nurse later, which is good. In a way. That's what I think. You know, you joke, but my wife. My wife's parents have an age gap. Not as severe as we do, but like a. I think it's like 14 years, I want to say. Something like that. That's what I got. 13 years, 13, 14. And that's what's happening now. With them. Yeah. So she's prepared. Oh, yeah. I mean, we. You know, it's a very strange situation to be in where you're. Kind of waiting for the call, you know? Yeah. And not, you know, excitedly. Yeah. But just. Right. It's a thing that we both go through and have for years where, you know, if her mother-in-law, you know, calls, their name comes up, it. You know, you don't go, oh, God, no. Is this it? Right. But it's just a thing in the back of your head. I've been there. I've been there. And it's. Yeah. What you're saying is she's on the runway. She's close. She's close. The plane's on the runway. The mother-in-law's plane's on the runway. No, no, no. I'm talking about my father. Oh, the father's plane's on the runway. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you mean the call from the mother-in-law saying. Yes, yes. The plane's taking off. No, I would not expect my mother-in-law to call me as she was dying. Right. I think that would be weird and I'm not going to. Sorry. I don't want to expect that. I messed that up. Yeah, I think that's asking a bit much. Yeah, you're right. I mean, if nothing else, you should call her daughter first. Right, right. Not her son-in-law. Well, what I've started doing to prepare my wife is I just started wearing diapers around the house. Right. Just to let her know what it's going to be like. Know what's up. So she can practice a little bit. So I recommend. Right. Just get her ready and just be like, baby, I did it. And then just see, she changes it. Yeah. She'll get used to what it's going to be like. Get a nurse, yeah. I don't want her. I don't want it to hit her like a cold bucket of water. I want her to be eased into changing my diapers and cleaning my shit out of my asshole. Yeah. I think that's just going to happen naturally. There's always going to be a first time, whether you move that up by saying, hey, I'm going to get you used to it. Right. It's still going to be a little disconcerting the first couple of times. So why not just move that, say, 30 years down the line? But are you a little paranoid when you start getting that she'll leave? Because she'll still be hot and you'll. So I just want to test her. That's why I do it. I want to see what kind of. You know, are you willing? You got to be really. I get irritable. I'll say like racist things and like at an old. Just to see if she. No. She raises. I want to see what kind. If she's going to abuse me. There's not a woman in this world that would leave David Cross. What are you, nuts? What are you, crazy? Of course she will. Well. I mean, if I'm. You really. If I'm shitting myself. That's a reason to stay for some. Depends on. Going back to Jim Norton. That is true. That is true. Jim, that's when Jim would start DMing you. Hey, David. I just happened to be in your neighborhood. Yeah. What are you doing? Can I pop in? Cuz. Yeah. You've been looking cute. You've been looking tan. You've been looking in shape. I got my hair combed to the other side. And do you know what I combed my hair with today? A little rough greens. You did? I did. Even though that it says. You used it for that? Even though it's a supplement? Yeah. I. Put it in my hair. Why the heck not? Because it's dog food. Yeah. Well, it's dog. I've been combing. Stop for me. Yeah. I've been combing my hair with dog food. Cuz they sent me a pack. Let me tell you something. I. They gave me little treats, too, that I gave to my dog. Yeah. And then all you gotta do is sprinkle a little bit of. It's very easy. Yeah. You sprinkle a little bit on your dog's kibble or their meal. Beautiful. You give them a little extra something.

It supports long-term health by providing live, bioavailable nutrients, including essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and omega oils. Cuz it's about the omega-3s. Yeah. Nick's gotta get his LDLs down, and the only way to do that is with omega oils. He's gotta start sprinkling some rough greens in his food.

It's created by a natriopathic? Natriopathic. Natriopathic. A natriopathic doctor, Dr. Dennis Black. He's a 40-year cancer survivor and has been helping humans and their pets for over 20 years.

Whoa, my name's Bobby Quo. Konnichiwa. Wait, so you have a suitcase. Are you on the road going on vacation? What are we doing? No, I am. I'm going from here to tape the Sherry, Sherry or Sherry? Shepard show. Sherry Shepard. Sherry or Sherry? Sherry. Sherry. Sherry Shepard. So I'm doing her show and then I go from there to the airport and I go to Austin and I'll be in Austin for two days and then I come home Thursday. Wow. I like that. Quick and easy. Oh yeah. Two, three days. But this is really the winding up of the press. I've been doing a lot of press and I'm really psyched that, I mean, I've been doing a lot I went to LA, came back here and then they're like, oh, you got to go back to like three days later. I was back on a plane to LA for another four days, came back, went to somewhere. Then I went to Atlanta, but that was kind of for family stuff. And then I got back Saturday because I had a show and then now I'm leaving again. That's it. You got it. But that's it. But this is the last, last kind of. Have you taken in your career? Like any real time off the road where you're like, I haven't been on the road or been on a plane in two years type thing? That, no, no. I'd like to. And when I do, you get to a point, especially touring, you're like, I cannot get on another plane, go to another fucking regional airport at 7.20 a.m. to catch a flight to another regional airport so I can make a connection, so I can get to Houston. And, you know, that is just the worst part of this job. We hate it. We hate it. Yeah, I, you know, I have small daughters, too, and I was like, I want to stay off the road for a year. I'm going to do it. I'm just going to do the pod. And then it lasted about three months, and I'm like, I have to probably go back on the road just because financially it's the thing that makes the most money for the least amount of time. Same here. I mean, that is the last, oh, man, last, I want to say, five movies I've done have been, like, indie, you know, paying very little. I did them because they're fun or it, you know, was an interesting character or something like that. But, like, I got to go, you know, to make real money. I got to go on the road. Well, yeah, that's like, Giannis and I were talking about this on the way, and it's like sometimes, like, my mom will be like, how come you don't try out for more movies, honey? It's like because I have a home and a family, and I would lose, I can't go away for three months and do that. I don't, I wouldn't command enough of a. Salary for the movie. So I have to go on the road or do the podcast. This is where I make the money, especially when my wife's looking at your house. Again, steal. She's welcome to steal from me. She will do that. Okay. Yeah. She will do. She has multiple families. When we're done here, I'll give you my address and the alarm code. We already know where it is. Okay. We were able to figure it out from the video. Okay. And the alarm code? We know it. 1776. Yep. That's it. The special's called The End of the Beginning of the End. That's cool. Which is out now on YouTube. Yeah. You always got fun names. What was the other? The one was like a curse. It was like, fuck. What was the other one? Oh, shut up, you fucking baby. Shut up, you fucking baby. Yeah. That was a good one. You had Bigger and Blackerer. Yeah. Great names. Bunch of legendary specials. So this one's YouTube. Yeah. Yeah. The last three, I think, are YouTube. Do you like it better? What do you think of it? Yeah. It's not quite as financially lucrative. But you have total control. And I will make my money back eventually. And I pay for the production. Sure. Or I'll co-produce it. But it's the last kind of big budgeted special and all that was for Netflix. And I got paid a nice chunk of money. But also the production was. It was just not necessary. And you don't need a million dollars to shoot a fucking guy on a stage. No. You just don't. You don't need jibs. You don't need cranes. So this last special, last couple actually, were at music venues. And when I started touring outside of club circuit and stuff, when I was headlining, I would go out and I would have a. I'd go out with a band. And the band would open for me. And we'd play music venues and standing, no sitting. And then the band would play. And then no break. I'd come out and just do the show. And that's what Shut Up, You Fucking Baby was recorded on that first tour that I did. And I kept doing it like that. And then kind of transitioned into theaters. And there's nothing wrong with a theater show at all. They're fun. They're definitely more lucrative. But it's just a different thing. When everybody's standing right there, you have a different connection with the audience. It feels more unique, each show. And there's a little bit more of who knows what's going to happen kind of thing. When everybody's right there in front of you standing up. And so that, yeah, we did that on this tour. It was at the 40 Watt in Athens. No. It was 40 Watt? Yeah. I was looking. I thought it said 40 Wart. No. It's Watt. 40 Watt Club. 40 Watt. Watt. Now, the AIO review content cross-tackles modern issues. And as he's gotten older, has become more conservative and hails Trump and all of his policies. I'm looking at this thing going, where is that? The Iran war was a good idea to contain Islam. Radical Islam is a real problem. Immigration. Absolutely. Yeah. We have to disappear the border. Pam Bondi's not all bad, mostly good. Well, my group chat's like, yo, I fucking like David Krupp. I'm listening to this guy. This is like a new direction for you here. Yeah. Yeah. You know, ever since I had a kid, you know, I've changed. My eyes have been opened. And, you know, I want her to grow up in the way I did. In the, like, urban, I mean, sorry, suburban, rural Georgia. And I want her to be suspicious of people that don't look like her. I want her to have a terrible education, like Georgia public schools back in the 70s, you know, and not know things. I want her to be, I want her to have. I want her to have an incomplete idea of civics. Yes. How that works. Right. And I want her to be spiteful and, you know, I just think it's a good way to live. It's smart. So, yeah, we're moving. You don't have a lot of anxiety that way. No. Which is good. Yeah. And everything is, you're just happy all the time. Like, when I meet people like that, they're just happy. Right. Which isn't bad. No, it's not. It is good. They're so happy. It's a simpler life. But that's what you say. You said the Georgia public school system is horrible, which proves that privatizing education is the way to go. Yes. I can't wait to see the charter. I'm a big, you know, coupon, charter school coupon guy. Yes. I take money from the public school and give it to people who feel similarly as I do that they want their children to be scared. And not just suspicious of people like, you know, what do they make and to make generalization. Yeah. Well, you see, it's funny because we grow up different. Like, we all grew up in New York City and being suspicious of people is just kind of what you had to do. Right. Do you want your kids to be suspicious? I want my kids to be suspicious. Walk up to someone and say, hey, why do you have a towel on your head, lady? Yeah. Right. Something like that. Something like that. Did you just get out of the shower? What's going on? Yeah. Is this a commercial? Hey, why do you have a Frisbee on your head, sir? What's going on? Yeah. What is that about? That's not what my mom and dad look like. Yeah. Why does it smell weird in here? Yeah. Why does it smell weird? Weird. That's the best way to say it. Weird. Not bad. Yeah. What was it like growing up as a Jewish person in- Suburban, rural Georgia. Suburban, rural. Not like downtown Atlanta. Well, there it's not rural. It's rural. Rural. Rural. Well, you know, there was- They didn't even know you were Jewish probably, right? You wore a hat to hide the horns? Oh, they know? Oh, they knew? They, because their parents told them. Right. Their parents- There's a Jew down there. Yeah. Yeah. I had one guy, and there was just a, I'll get back to that in a second, but a very low level, like I never got majorly harassed, but it was like a consistent, outside of a handful of things. things and I mean literally like four or five it was just uh you know you were made to know that you were different and um it was mostly kids by far citing their parents you know and um and not again not like uh outside of a handful of things not really like hateful awful shit but uh like I never got beat up for you know oh i got hit all right i'll tell that in a second um but uh and there was one guy who's just like a delinquent it would if i wasn't jewish he still would have found something else but he threw uh pennies at me you know it's like he did he threw pennies at me and my sister um it's awful but i mean it is yeah relatively i apologize dude i make 27 cents yeah not bad you invest that and that was in the 70s that's that's thousands of dollars i bought gold i bought nazi gold that's what it is a gift shop and uh uh but it was just this kind of low level uh you know you're weird or but and and things like i've done bits about it like uh um like so many i just have a picture of throwing pennies and him just being able to yeah they're like whoa yeah yeah they're really good with that money man yeah that's what i get for throwing throwing money at a jew yeah of course they must teach him that in jew school hey man y'all so what y'all y'all go do school or what what do y'all call what do you what do y'all call uh y'all's churches like jew school that's another working title jew school with david cross there was i mean i did a like old bit but uh i had so many friends and again most the kids were fine you know for the most part it was just the parents that were fucked up and then i had like if i ever like slept over at a friend's would be there for dinner you'd get these crazy like i'm just trying to be nice but um i'm so sorry did y'all's people eat oatmeal because we we eat oatmeal and that's like an old bit yeah i remember that was about to say yeah i remember y'all but it was you don't be all but it was that kind of yeah like thing again not there were there were uh you know there was it was it was more like you're an outsider you're different you're not one of us then like really mean spirited things because you know you're you know you know

guy named stan short and his nickname was moose because he was a a big blonde guy like in the archie comics moose and um uh he told this would have been fourth fifth grade maybe he said hey um my dad said i should uh either beat you up or hit you or something and tell you you're a dirty jew his heart was not in it clearly yeah and he's just telling me this and it's that kind of thing that i've been doing for a long time and i've been doing it for a long time and i've been doing it for a long time and i've been doing it for a long time and i've been doing it for a long time and i've been doing it for a long time in school you're like uh you spend the rest of the day like in terror of what's gonna happen right and everybody in school knows about it yeah and it was it was one of the worst days i've ever had and then he you know whatever 2 30 came around and he just went up and he hit me in the side of the arm and kind of hard but not too hard and that was that and it was such a weird like he his dad compelled him to do it he had to do it i could tell he wasn't like he didn't we didn't weren't friends or not friends we were just sort of in in you know amongst a couple hundred kids and uh and it was always something that stuck with me especially because of the fear i had and they and the the idea like i'm gonna get beat up in front of all these people just because i'm jewish right and and also by then i was starting to become an atheist without really uh articulating it or knowing that it was just all i was already starting to question everything and um then when i was i want to say 17 i was working at the uh tower place six theaters in buckhead uh and tearing tickets and you know ushering or whatever um white atlanta now yeah yeah yeah very uh well no and actually uh buckhead had um a whole section like a french quarter type section with a bunch of clubs that were open at four in the morning and then when the uh and it was very mixed right i mean you had like black nightclubs white nightclubs so it was all mixed right and uh the section and that during the super bowl that they hosted when uh ray lewis from the ravens uh shot the guy yeah and uh and his friend shot him his friend shot him but he was with him yeah so so they say um that was all they needed because they fucking much like the soho neighborhood they hated all this stuff and it was a huge source of revenue and it and buckhead you know had some old fancy you know uh moneyed family there and it just kind of grew and grew and grew as this uh entertainment district whatever and so then that's when they rescinded the 4 a.m drinking rule law and and all that stuff but uh so i was at i was working at that theater in the and then i we had a little box so there's the ticket booth and then glass doors glass windows and doors are open and people you can see them line up get their ticket and they walk through the glass doors to me i'm like you know seven feet there with a little ticket box and tearing tickets going theater number two theater number one whatever and i see stan short in line i recognize him like that had not seen him for blow out like kind of hillbilly uh good he looked all right you know similar but older uh um and i got nervous and i got like uh like i didn't expect him to beat me up or anything but i was just like i just a flood of memories and bad feelings physical mental like uh and then uh i think he was coming to see porkies and then as he's coming in and i can't go anywhere it's not like cover for me you know there's no and i he walks up and he's he recognized me big smile he's like hey david cross how are you uh good man how how are you uh yeah good everything's good talk for 25 seconds and he goes in and sees the film i just remembered it so vividly like oh shit yeah my arch nemesis is here wait so your real name is david cross i thought it was a stage name what like i thought your name was expecting like a steam burn yeah no not not necessarily that but i didn't think your real last name was cross because david cross is such a perfect christian name well that but it's also a perfect stage like comet like david cross boom it works but i didn't think that was your like my name's chris de stefano i should have changed it to something it's people are like what's your last name or they'll be like chris destelopolo but david cross that's so that's an easier name destelopolo no i'm just saying that would be funny if that's what i changed my stage name to you ever thought about trying to be greek for a little while chris destelopolo yeah yeah but i didn't think that your name was david cross like it's chris rock's name really chris rock yeah that's his real name yeah yeah so some people are just destined for it because david cross chris rock these are like yeah janice pappas yeah that doesn't sound like you should have been doing this no i think you know i i think you both have great names for the stage both of them yeah uh yeah i would also mix them up once in a while janice de stefano chris pappas yeah yeah but uh chris pappas no i would know i would not ever think to change my name but i'm what's perfect name yeah it's an english name it's uh my family is you know goes way way back that's from leeds huh my whole i learned i've i got dual citizenship with the uk and i learned through that process that my family uh lineage goes way back in leeds i did i just assumed that you know you know jews in europe and they escaped the pogroms or something i guess this would have been peep anyway like i thought it was more recent but it goes way back it was way back so there's some chances there's a good chance that your family did some wild stuff if like old school british you know what i mean like they headed somebody no just it didn't treat indians that no way it didn't treat yeah because the british empire back but they did it with class with class with their pinky pinky and dressed very nice red coats now did you get your dual citizenship just in case trump got re-elected you could go live on ellen's compound with her um i you know i would reach out to ellen um and i would do a tiktok where i danced and uh yes you know and do uh what is she into horses right uh horses uh baby blood things like that for skin she's into uh yeah yeah ellen ellen she's into being rude to her staff no no that's what they say explain the uh the baby blood and the skin thing how does that work started from a rumor that um oh wait you're being serious yeah no i'll tell you how it happened we can talk about it sandra bullock went on her show i love this stuff i love how people you know humans make read patterns and we're not very good at it right right so they get sandra bullock won on her show and was talking about how she gets the skin treatment and that they're like and ellen's like where does it come from she's like it comes from other young people something that we don't know about so they apparently wait what yeah what does that mean like they take collagen from young people or something like injected in oh my god i'm looking at the screen here yeah i thought you were kidding no this is real no and um and then so they just made that connection there it is the where's the penis facial video that's the one so 2018 interview with sandra bullock um the clip discusses a penis facial that uses cells derived from newborn foreskin that was a joke that ellen made um and allegedly no she did make the joke so she did say that so sandra bullock was like trying to make a joke about it and she did say that so she did say that so sandra bullock was trying to make a joke about it and she did say that so sandra bullock was like trying to make a joke about it and she did say that so sandra bullock was like trying to make a joke about trying to explain where it comes from and she goes like it comes from young people we don't know about and and then ellen just interjected and said um said that so she did make that joke on morning tv she said from newborn foreskin right so and so while the skin treatment is real uh and then of course people yeah of course people went yeah that's crazy so it goes from there but what i think people do have nailed is that celebrities in hollywood is a little weird i think they've nailed that that that so that's just a weird kind of celebrity itself well yeah and the community and the culture in hollywood is kind of uh isolated and sort of um oh it's extremely yeah and they're kind of out of touch and like it's a weird place and i think a harvey weinstein stuff and things like that start to come out and people start to realize like this place is it's a little hypocritical it's a little you know like they're it's not it's not a real place well it is a real place unfortunately but you know what i mean it's it's uh i i think that i mean i've witnessed it and i've been uh tell us about it what's going on on the inside me and me and cat williams yeah yeah um now he's not one of the not funny ones joe rogan has on that's the worst cat williams impression i've ever done i like you do a good black guy but you have to hold your throat when you do it yeah you ever see him do a black guy no have you ever caught any heat for that no no yeah because it's just good um i learned it from a guy in uh um college at emerson college uh who taught me and his name is michael mike drazen michael someone taught you how to do he did it and i was like what are you doing and he just showed me no he shows it's so good so you know you can talk like this and i now i'm not applying any pressure to my lamp but now i am so it it behooves you to uh prop pontificate uh the seminarian oh just a guy yeah and i've i yeah go up and i'll read stuff and i just do do interviews where you kind of make up words that sound like they're i heard you were doing a two-man show with that character and your chinese character is that what that's what i heard refresh my memory about my chinese character chinese character was one where you do like a voice and it's some people love it some people hate it the uh that's what i've heard what was the name of the chinese character i think the chinese character was called uh um the silverware fell on the floor noise yeah oh i've heard that joke yeah yeah um yeah just it's loose and you open the draw yeah and uh the draw the draw oh i'm from new york yeah what do you call a drawer drawer no you call it a um a drawer i don't even know how do you say room how do

200 years of their economy was mostly propped up by them uh pillaging towns getting the you know enslaving white women and then selling them to the islam yeah selling them to the muslim rulers and that that was a big that was like the currency oh huge so the vikings didn't care but they they were just like this is all the money you know the muslim guys specifically wanted the white women from and where would they go like how far down would they have to travel to sell the women to the muslim i think the muslims just come right up horn of africa the muslim guys would the islam would come
