Welcome to another episode of your favorite podcast, History, Hyenas. I am Yannis, aka the ticket page at Christie's book, aka Yannie, different hair style, trying guy. Yeah. And I'm sitting here with Chrissy, Abercrabby, and Fitch. Yeah, you're Yannie allergies, Yannie, hair flat, you're Yannie, James Hardin, because you given up, you don't care anymore. I don't care anymore, James Hardin. That should be the new way you describe someone who just threw it in the towel. Yeah. It's James Hardin. I mean, you should have known that James Hardin didn't care when he just hasn't shaped his face since 2011. If James Hardin was in your military, he'd be the guy who'd be waving for the other side, to this is where my guys are, come get him. Yeah, I almost feel like he plays for the other team. Yeah, well, his facial hair looks like he does play for the other team. Well, he's been on so many teams like chasing success that I think he sometimes he forgets. He might have thought that he was on the mix. Right. Yeah. Now, so we're going to talk about today. Today, we have a great episode. It's just the energy in New York City is budget, baby, that the New York Knicks are going to the NBA finals. We're going to talk about the history of the New York Knicks and then correlate that into the history of Dutch New York, which is fascinating. Fascinating. The word knickrbacher comes from Dutch and we're going to get to it. But first, I want to get to you, Yannie. You texted us what you ate this weekend. And it was one of those things where I had to ask you a follow-up question. I said, did you eat that for the weekend? Did you eat that today? It's very funny that American holidays are married to the worst food. Right. We never have any holidays where it's like, oh, you got to get we're going to have a special kale salad. Right. It's always like the worst food. We need to have a holiday where we attach the food and patriotism to kale, to sweet potatoes, to something like that. So, Jess, if you could just pull up real quick on that text that you just had up, I'd like to read to you what Yannie texted us what he ate. And it was just a little bit. Do you have it up? Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Yannie texted us. Okay. I had three hot dogs, a burger, two sliders, two alcohol excelsers, pizza slice and ice cream sauce or a slice of key lime pie and lots of spatic go up. And so it was one of those moments because you sent it at 9/20. We were watching the next game. And it was the first time that I took my eyes off the game. And I said, I need to help my friend in need. Now, was that so the cake was one day? No, that was the whole weekend. But you said it was okay because it's for the troops because it was for the troops. Yeah. We're full. And here as long as you did it, my dad died for this country. It's what it is. And I did it, but he died later. Yeah. And it's just look, here's the thing is we all, here's the truth with me even. I told you I've been on peptides. I'm doing this right at truth. And it's just to the point now where I'm 10, 11 weeks in and I'm eating through it. Okay. I had 10 desserts between Friday and Saturday. It was raining all Memorial Day weekend. So Memorial Day weekend was just one of those, it was just one of those weekends where it was pissing rain all week in New York City. And I just ate a lot. You ate a lot. Um, you know, I went to the guest, guest bathroom masturbated and we just got through the weekend. You get a little depressed too when it's rainy out, right? I do. I used to get depressed when it was hot and sunny. But now it's flipped. Now I get depressed when it's raining. Now I want to be out in the hot hot sun. You do, right? I don't know what's changed about me, but I want to be out in the hot hot sun. As you can tell, by the way, I'm dressing is I want to be out in the hot hot sun. I mean, you're just a white guy today because I am probably a fish model. Yeah. I'm starting to really realize that my daughters um, need to know that one of their parents is white. You're gonna pick, you don't want to, you don't want them to introduce you as my white dad or my dad is white. My dad's learned a lot. I talk my dad. You don't want, you don't want to be called the white dad. No, like I try to do little things for them is I push, is I, I'll, I'll push like, you know, a diet coke in front of them or I'll push an RC cola and I see which one they pick because I want them to obviously pick diet coke. But sometimes my daughters pick the RC colas and you just have to have conversations with them and say I want you to accept and acknowledge your, your Latino side, but I really need you to lean to the white side for a little bit for daddy. Okay, while daddy's here, I need you to really lean into the white just for my own sanity. Yeah. That's all it is. I just for my own sense. But of course acknowledge the Latino and be proud of it. But let's be a little bit more white if we can. Yeah. So I figure if I start dressing more white, which is this is why I'm dressed like a trendy holocaust victim. Yeah. It's awful. It is. I said that will help them because, you know, listen, the thing is I love my beautiful family. Okay. There's so many great things about my beautiful wife and children all that. But think that I have to just accept and because I think I think I think acceptance radical acceptance is really key. I have to acknowledge and there's many things that, you know, Jasmine has to, you know, accept about me and I understand that. But I do have to just say that I do have two daughters and their mother has that two hundred tit. So I have to just say if that's okay, but the way to balance that out is dad has to be a little bit more white, even when I don't want to. Yeah. So I'm wearing, you know what I mean? I'm wearing new balances. I'm wearing light blue jeans because I brought my daughters to school today. And I just said, you know, and I knew they were a little upset because Josephine, our dog's getting spated. So, you know, Josephine's getting her pussy cut out. Yeah. Why are they upset about that? Because they think that because the, you know, their mom talked that's tragic. That's kind of tragic for Puerto Ricans where they see somebody loses their reproductive capability. Well, that's what you said. She said at the table, they have things like, you know, I don't know if it's feel right that we taken away her rights of tools. Yeah. And so I said, you know what? But we can't have a period around the house. And she was like, why? We cleaned it up. Yeah. And I said, you know, I really don't, I didn't want this talking in the first place. And now I can't have its bleeding vagina all over the couch. Yeah. There's something about lying women. I mean, they're so sexy, so beautiful. They just get pregnant very easily. It's very, very, very quick to the point where you start to realize like if they don't get pregnant after a couple of times having sex, they start to get really upset. They're like, why it was happening to my body? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're so fertile. They're fertile murals. But I have a beautiful family, beautiful life. And I have made a decision to dress white. And it's just, and it's just what it is because it's just what it is. And you're doing really good because you look really healthy. And as long as you don't look like that, yes. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, this, this picture, look, it's just like, this guy is, it looks like he's like the door just opened to the van and he's stepping in behind my brother to go bowl. Yeah. It's just a bowl. It's just what it is. And we won't name names, but we won't, you're honest. We'll set the picture to the group chat. We won't put it up in the podcast because yeah, I mean, I just want everyone to know out there. If you're dealing with anyone that has a ponytail, at some point, a ponytail is the mark of Satan. It is. It's really that's how I identify Satan's workers. Right. It's ponytail. So that's Nick does not put it in a ponytail. Nick is growing his hair to compensate for what he doesn't have going on in the top. Nick, Nick's got, he's like Luel Bano. Right. He's got the Luel Bano. You can put, why don't you put the rubber band in the goatee? Yeah. Yeah. Now Nick, because if I cut that taped it on the top of your head though, we'd be in business. Yeah. Now Nick, I had a show on Friday night at New York Comedy Club owned by our friend. I had a show at New York Comedy Club and I'm sitting there on the steps going over my notes for the show. And I see, and I just see a hooded man with shorts on walking fast his feet are moving really fast, but his body's not. And I just see him looking straight ahead and I look over and it is the one and only Nick. Yeah. It's the one where you only nick the stick walking through the lower east side. And I was really happy that Nick left. He left, you know, I said, oh, you know, good to see you or whatever. And we talked for five minutes and he said, okay, he's going to keep walking, but then he came back and he enjoyed the show. Yeah. Nick came and enjoyed the show and it was really nice to come off stage and just see Nick there eating the New York Comedy Club popcorn, which definitely has my species on it. And just be sure and just being able to see a friend in when you needed it. It was real nice to see Nick. That's really nice. I like a surprise Nick. That's really nice. Well, you were on stage. I was texting Nick because we had to redo the video because I made a ponos video about the Odyssey trailer. I saw that one. And near of our Dallas got really upset. Well, I saw the public comment that she got that she got upset privately towards you. She she she didn't contact me, but she was not happy about it. Well, I saw the public comment. It was good though. We made it better. She was like, I'm not, she was like, I'm not. I don't need CGI, which I thought was like funny. Then she kept going. Yeah, she kept going. What did she say after that? She just didn't like, I mean, ponos, what? Listen, I don't know. Ponos. I don't agree with anything that guy says. Yeah. I don't agree with one thing that guy says that guy. He said that she needed CGI to look young and pretty, you know, that didn't mean she's not pretty. That means ponos said that said that. And that means ponos knows what a real agent. Yeah, it's just what it's. So, but I would Hollywood standards. I didn't see that she kept going. - It's really personally going out, you know. - Yeah, yeah, she was. - Well, that's Greek women get upset. - Do you know her personally though? - I've met her once, back in the day, we communicated a little bit when she wanted me to promote her movie, which was like, I think it was my big, factory wedding goes to London or just to start promoting it, huh? - Did you promote it? - No, I think we did make a video, but like, you know, it's like, what can you do? - What can you do? - I mean, what can you do? I mean, if this was 1999 or 2017, I'd be a little upset. - You said, I mean, to be fair, to be fair, it wasn't just her, I mean, you said John Stamos doesn't have a career. - Yeah, I said that, I said, I called Stovey Fat, and he wasn't upset by her, right? - I said, Matt Damon looked like a stretched out midget. - Sure. - And then, but we made it better. I mean, Nick made it better, Nick edited it. - Women, I guess, women get upset about that. - Which fine, and Greek, you know, - Especially a male commenting on a female. - You know, she said that, she was like, you shouldn't be commenting on that. - I don't know what she said. It just, yeah, but my intention wasn't to hurt anyone's feelings, but it's funny that because I think it actually came out better the way that it was done. - Yeah, it was a great fun. - I said, we want Yannis Papis in there to play Cyclops. - Funny. - Didn't take shots at yourself. - Yeah, the thing is when you're editing a piece, you pick certain things. - Sure. - And what Nick picked made it fast, and it was going crazy viral. So, Nia, you know, it's like, I've done things for you. - Yeah. - I changed it for you. - Yeah. - What have you done for me lately? - Yeah. - Can I go, be in my big factory wedding, and then it goes in another dimension? - I know you're going to keep taking swings at that. - It's what it is, and yeah, for the record, I think you're beautiful that you are very, she is very beautiful. - And I honestly think that. - I will say this, and I mean it's earnestly, my big fat Greek wedding won. I haven't seen those, but my big fat Greek wedding won to me is top 10 best movie of all time. Seriously. Because of what movies that I like, because I'm not a sin if I'm like, I should have had a less honest reaction to that. - Yeah. - Top 10 all time. - Yeah, because I'm not into movies that make you fit. I like movies that as entertaining, and then I like to watch over and over and over again. Like my top 10 movies of all time are not, 'cause you can't have a movie to top 10 that had Joey fatone in it. - 'Cause it's just, you can't do that. - 'Cause can I be honest with you? - Please be honest with me. - I don't have a real, like, I don't have like a list like that I've really thought about, but truly, and I'm not even trying to be funny. - What, like movies that move my monkey, movies that make me go pureing big? - Yeah. - Or my big fat-requiting birth of a nation. - No, no, see, that means I have little giants. - I love a movie like Little Giants, but that doesn't make me go pureing 'cause it's about kids, but you know what I mean? But I like the movie Little Giants, my big fat-requiting rookie of the year. Ghostbusters. - Jesus Christ. - I like movies like that. Like, I don't like movies where it's like, you gotta understand the plot and this and that. I just wanna be entertained. Like, you know, like, I'll watch, you know, Goodfellas is a movie that everybody loves that I really like. - Yeah, but, you know, Goodfellas does not belong in the same list as Angels in the Outfield. - Yeah, Angels in the Outfield, I love it. - I know you would. - Wedding Crashers, old school. - Well, those are good, funny movies. - Right. - Yeah, but my big fat-requiting is a very funny, good movie. - Yeah. - I don't know if you could put it top 10 all time. - And that's a tough one. Godfather, you got-- - Drop dead, drop dead. - Drop dead, Fred. Problem child. - Problem child, did you like Madeemann Hatton as well? - I made him in Hatton, I don't think I've seen. - Oh, with J-Lo? - Yes. - But I'm not into, I'm not into really the chick flick ones. The only chick flick that I really like was the movie Little Women. - Little women, yeah. - I like the Little Women. - Yeah, you're a kind of, you'll sit down by yourself with a tub of ice cream and watch Mystic beats. - Yeah. - Well, I used to watch them. - Yeah. - When I used to sleep by my aunt Janet's house shadow, Janet, you know, used to watch every Friday night 'cause she would come, we would go over, her house pretty woman I love, of course pretty woman. - But do you ever see the movie An of Green Gables? - No. - I love An of Green Gables. - 'Cause I watch it. - But Pretty Woman was big. I love Pretty Woman because make absolutely no mistake. I mean, look at how gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous Richard Gears. (laughing) - I mean, yeah, I mean, you know what, you know what it is about, what's her name? - Julia Roberts. - Yeah, I'm sorry. It's how you don't get old. What's her name, Julia Roberts? How do you feel? The thing about Julia Roberts, she's held up really well. - Gorgeous, she still looks really good. - A league of their own? - Yeah. - I love that movie. - I put that in that category. - Yeah, 100%. - Chrissy's top 10 is a very funny top 10. - It's a very funny, but it's the same as my brothers. - It's genuine though. - Yeah, it's genuine. - Well, the thing is, it goes well with bowling. Well, that's the thing is because you can only go so far when you see a picture of my father looks like you have to understand that I am half his DNA. - You got prayed ad especially. - Right. - What it is, but it's not gonna work 100% but there aren't some special needs things that have made some traits that I bite my fingernails, I bite my toenails, I bite my boogers, and I think my big, fat, Greek wedding is in my top 10. - You're a special, special breed, guys. - Right, did we make a clip? We got to make a clip of that. Did we make a clip that he's a German and then did you inside? - Yeah. - Did we post that one? - We haven't posted it yet? - Oh, we'll post it. Now, we got to post that because that's real funny, but me and Chris did text and I just want to feed the Patreon a little bit. - Okay. - When Chrissy messaged me a picture of Lindsey Tarts and he said, "Cuz you want to come over?" So Chrissy was way off the beam with sweets today. - And let me tell you what weekend? - Yeah, and you know it was a special edition of those Lindsey Tarts, those were the Nutella Lindsey Tarts. - Ooh. - From Rudy's bakery and Ridge, when my mother came up to my home for the weekend 'cause it was her birthday, shout out my mom, shout out happy 70s birthday mom. - Holy macro, is she a birthday? - And was he asked where is her birthday 24th? - Happy birthday Lynn. - And I got her a David German ring because she said the cleaning lady stole her David German ring like in 2003. So I replaced it this year. - Yeah, no, that's a phase women get to when they start thinking that the cleaning ladies are stealing all their stuff. - She said, "Well, I think it was Zalene." - It might have been Zalene. - I think I lead snuck up there and took the ring. - Yeah, she said the cleaning lady stole it and we've been here in the story for years. So I got her a nice David German ring and then Jasmine came with me and she tried it on and then Jasmine was started and then of course Jasmine starts going how smooth and silky the David German rings are and how her engagement ring does her finger a little bit. And I'm like, so now you're saying that you want a David German ring? Because it's either my mother or you and I picked my mother. - Right, so then he sends me that, he goes, and then true to form, true to brand. We, I got a Texas morning at 7.25 AM where we were gonna figure out what our episode was gonna be about today and that's where we figured it. And we figured out a good one. We're gonna talk about the New York Knicks because do you know where the term Nicarbocker comes from? - I don't know, but listen, right now I just wanna say shout out to my, to the Knickers right now. - Yes. - They're playing really well, the Knickers babies. - The Knickers are doing it. - Yeah. - And they're going to the finals and so we're gonna talk a little bit about the history of the New York Knicks. - The Knicks. - The New York Knicks and the Knickers. - No, the Knick, the New York Knickerbockers, the term Nicarbocker, 1809, a guy who's grew up around here, Washington Irving. The guy Washington Irving wrote the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. He came up with the term Nicarbocker. He had, it was a pseudonym for a character he created D-Drick Nicarbocker who used to wear, Nicarbocky, it was a type of pants they used to wear. And then the name stuck around, stuck on New Yorkers and then when the Knicks, you know, became a franchise, they picked father Nicarbocker, the New York Knicks. And I just think that, you know, the New York Knicks, here's the thing, here's the thing about, first of all, this New York Knicks team is playing with a certain magic. You know, people keep talking about how the Western Conference is much better than Eastern Conference and I do agree, it is much better than Eastern Conference. But when you're winning closeout games by 51, 30 and 37 against three different playoff NBA Eastern Conference teams, you're playing with a certain magic. You know who is within each and every one of their cells and hearts, even the Muslim ones. And that's Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is doing something for this city. What I honestly believe is that I've been saying it week after week after week how we are going into a crusade. I think Jesus Christ is backing the Knicks to take down Mamdani and that's the way you look at it. Yeah, I don't understand why more people haven't understood that that's what's happening. You mean it's Jesus first Mamdani? It's Jesus first Mamdani. It's always Jesus first Mamdani. 'Cause I know Mamdani is going to Knicks Games and sitting in section 300, but he's not, doesn't really know anything about basketball as a fair weather fan. He's not a real sports fan. He has nothing, he doesn't care about the Knicks. He'd be in the section 300 if the Knets were there. And that's a big red flag to me. As I've said before, time and time again, if you are from New York City, any of the five boroughs or Long Island or Westchester area and you are an adult and you don't have special needs, it is not okay with me if you're a fan of the Brooklyn Knets because it signifies two things to me, either A, you have special needs. And then that is okay. B, you don't know anything about sports or three, you're a Hasidic Jew. That is weird. So don't go to those games, yeah? If you're a child, if you're under the age of 21 and you're a Brooklyn Nets fan, Borough New York City, I get it, Nets have been here. Maybe that's your team you grew up in Brooklyn, I get it. But I'm talking about an adult, a consenting voting adult. If you are a Brooklyn Nets fan and you're from New York City and not New Jersey, I don't, I actually would like you to stay away from me just because I only want to be around people and no sports right now because the nicks are in the finals and I don't want to waste time talking to an adult male who's going to ask me, you know, so does that mean, so are the nicks in the finals now or like do they, who do they still have to play? I don't want to deal with those guys right now. I'll deal with you in the summer, but right now I want to deal with only people who can really talk sports. - Yes. - That's what I want. I have to deal with too many guys in our careers that want to make believe they know about sports and they've never, they're not the man in the arena. - Okay, I was in the division three arena. - Yeah, you were in the division three arena. I was in the division one walk on arena. - It's what it is. So I don't want to hear from Nick's fan. - The failed walk on Arena. - Yeah, I just don't want to hear from the fair weather fair. Okay, here's the thing, as I've been a Nick's fan, the first game I ever went to was January of 1994 when my father bought tickets, but he probably gambled and stole tickets. But my father got us almost court side at the Nick's game and it was Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway's Orlando Magic versus Patrick Guing's Nick's and the Nick's beat the magic. I think they went to the, no, the Nick's went to the finals that year, magic went to the finals next year, but they beat Shaquille O'Neal's Nick's. And I've been a, not a fair weather fan, a for Real Z's fan every year since then, the Nick's had won something like 35 playoff games since Jalen Brunson's come onto the team in 2022. They only won seven from 2003 to 2022 and I was rooting for them when they had fucking Clientity Early. - Yeah. - Okay. - When they had-- - Thomas. - Yes, when they had Kurt Thomas. Kurt Thomas, Tim Thomas. Tim Thomas, I like it. I see Tim Thomas at the games I see him. Kurt. - He was going over two, right? - When they had all these guys, he fit horn. - Cold Aldrich. - Whoa. - Yeah, I mean, they had real stinkers. - Yeah. - Okay, I mean, Michael sweeten me. I mean, these are the fucking players. These guys drafted. - Yeah, well. - So they were drafting idiots. - Well. - Chris Duhon. - Like, I still had memory Chris Duhon. - I was there for it all. - Charlie Ward. - Yeah, I wasn't, you know, I didn't just come out of nowhere. - Yeah. - I been there. I was there from a start of my, I'm already starting my, before he was in jail. - 'Cause Huckabee got the here's Johnny going on right now. - Because David Lee, I was there for David Lee. - When he was one of their best players. - Yeah, wow, that was really rough. He was an all-star one, you know. - Yeah. - I mean, 'cause. - Yeah. - I was there for these players. - Well, I was there and then I left. - Okay. - It was the fellow Harrington. - You are against it. - I was there for the fellow Harrington. - Yeah. - So I don't want to hear from-- - You're like Odin. - Yeah. - So I don't want to hear from any of these, when they drafted Garland Ari. - Garland Ari. - Garland Ari. - When they drafted some fucking sauce monkey. (laughing) - I had 14. - I mean, come on, guy. I was there. People don't even remember. - Wow. - Was that grand off? I was there. Nate Robertson. I love Nate Robertson. But I mean, these teams were in good. They were finishing. They won 17 games when I was there every game. - Yeah, no. It was tough. - Watching the games, rooting for them. Mike D'Antoni. - Yeah, it was tough for a little while. And now we're here. - It started really, you know, after the Pat Riley Nix. - Yeah, 1994 Nix. So what Pat Riley did was he got a bunch of guys from at the time the CBA or from wherever. They all took steroids and he got them on the team and they just were told to hit Michael Jordan. So that was a good, what was? John Stark's, he was working in the grocery store. - In Oklahoma. - Yeah, Anthony Mason was robbing drug dealers. I don't know what he was doing. - Anthony Mason, a big boy. - Yeah, Charles Oakley should have been in the WWE. - Yes. - And that was a great squad. And Mark Jackson, I mean, the kid just ran like he wasn't an athlete. - Yeah. That was a fun squad. There was Larry Johnson on steroids, you know. Everyone had one kidney back then. Everyone looked like he meant. It was a great era. And then it just fell apart after that. - Yeah. - And I remember when it started, like, it was Kiki Vandaway, Rolanda Blackman, when they were just getting every washed up like star. - Because this is how crazy it's been. This is how crazy it's been. The last time the Nix won the NBA championship, you and Jesse weren't even alive, but you're old kids. - Yeah, we were, well, you weren't, we weren't. - 1973. - Yeah, we weren't alive. - You weren't alive. You weren't alive. - Jesse, right? - 1973. - We weren't alive. - Chrissy, let me tell you something. I took an ultra, one of these sleep altars. They sent it to us. This thing knocked me up, but before I got knocked out, I don't know if it's the fiendine or whatever in there, but you get, I was feeling a tingle down my back. Like, it was, I felt a nice tingle. - Because these melatonin gummies, I mean, they suck. - Okay. The melatonin gummies, they suck, they overdose. Like, it's just a way overdose. And it's just, you know, the over-the-counter meds like Zquill all that, annoying. I'm telling you, dude, these ultra-new sleep pouches are the complete game changer. The idea behind this is genius. Everyone uses the pouches for increased focus and energy, but ultra took that idea and flipped it. They flipped the script because they got magnesium, they got chamomile, passion flower, lemon bomb, all extracts that El Thieninine reduces the anxious thoughts. Well, you noticed you weren't as anxious. - Dude, I've told you, I've tried all those things, and I mean, I sleep well, I don't got a problem sleeping, but I just popped one 'cause I wanted to test it. The only thing is you got to remember to take it out. - Yeah. - Because, you know, you get so drowsy and I took it out, but it made me very relaxed and really did work. And I also have been taking the ultra's during the day, you know, and they do. It really makes you feel sharp and focused. - And ultra-killed. - I'm a pouch kid. - I got two ultra's right here. - Yeah, you love ultra. - No next morning, groginess, no more dependency on the sleep aids. Right now, ultra-sleep pouches deliver better, deeper sleep with properly dosed and natural ingredients. New customers can use the code hyenas, H-Y-E-N-A-S to get 15% off at takeultra.com.

They were just like, "Give us your pores." - Yes, all the injured languages. They were just taking every, even when they got hard away, right? - Sure. - Even when they got hard away, it was like, he had just like had almost a career at-- - Yeah, he ended up playing well. - But he had like a career ending injury. - I mean, we got Carmelo Anthony. We got Jeremy Lin and they were these were bright spots, but they didn't, they never won. And here's the, I meant, I meant Stodemire. - Right, and here's the credit I'll give, is I'll say Timothy Shalamay. That could've been a fan from the beginning too, since before he was famous. - Chichin has proof. - I like that. - I respect Timothy Shalamay. I even respect Shalamay and Jenner at the games, they're humanizing them, they look like a regular couple, they look, I have zero issue with those major celebrities 'cause Ben Stiller, Timothy Shalamay, they were all there when the nicks were losing. - I like to see that. The only people that I miss is Woody and SUNY. I like to see her sitting on his lap. - Yeah, I don't know if they're not letting Woody in or what's going on. - I mean, it used to be a time when he was watching her 'cause he was the legal guardian that she would sit on his lap. - Yeah, I miss those days. - Now you break it down like this 'cause I have a hunch that the nicks are gonna play the San Antonio Spurs again. - Yeah. - 'Cause they played them in 1999, okay? - Lost. - And they lost to the finals, four games to one, there's the shorties. - That was the lockout, yeah. - That was the lockout, yeah, the short season, and who did the San Antonio Spurs have? Who were their best place? Tim Duncan, David Robertson, what was their nickname? The Twin Towers. Then what happens, 2001? Islam gets to us. They just hit us, they hit us with a quick hit, but we fucking rebuild. We rebuild the Freedom Tower. Who was that? Victor Wembenjaya, he's one tower, there were two, now there's one, same team, but this time we know what's coming. - Yeah. - This time the nicks, no had, wait, that makes us Islam 'cause we're gonna knock down the tower. - No, no, no, no, no, no, that we've re, yeah. - Oh, wait, 'cause that hasn't happened. - I'm just saying the Twin Bill. - We've rebuilt. - But we didn't, that doesn't make sense 'cause the towers were still standing. - Yeah, right. - But I'm just saying, two years later, what happened was is the nicks, you know, the Twin Towers, that's where I've been lying and got the idea. He said the Twin Towers just beat the Twin Towers. - You don't know how I'm gonna knock 'em down. - Now I'm gonna knock 'em down. So now we got Wembenjaya, the one Freedom Tower, the one guy, and then I believe that the nicks are gonna be able to, we know how to figure this out, we know how to combat Islam now. And to me, to me, Wembenjaya is that, even though he's not Islamic at all, I just think that, it's, it's, it's Christianity versus Islam. - Wait, so that would be, I think I get your analogy. What you're basically saying with the Twin Tower analogy and the two and, and Duncan and Robinson, and they never mean the Twin Towers, getting knocked down the Freedom Tower. What you're basically saying is the Jews orchestrated this whole thing for money. - That's what I'm saying, it's a shared scam. - That's what I'm saying. - Yeah, they fixed it. - That's what you get too. - And that's what I'm saying. And I'm just saying that I think that this is their year. The nicks, I think that the nicks are playing with the conviction and a magic that has to happen for teams to win the NBA championship. And I think they're playing with it. I think that they're well-rested. I believe you have the most well-rested team. You are right now playing as the best team in the NBA. I really believe for the New York nicks, it's now or never. I think do, and I think they're gonna go in with that energy. It's now or never. We beat the Spurs, we beat the Thunder, we bring the City of Title now, or we're gonna have to wait another 50 years. - Yeah, I haven't seen this magic excitement for the nicks since Link Sanity. - Yes. - This is remind me, link sanity. And, you know, that's a sad statement to say that there hasn't been something to be excited about since link sanity. - Link sanity. - Which was just a Chinese kid from Harvard who had a couple games where he scored 21 points. - Yeah, and I did a comedy bit about wearing a Jeremy Lynn Jersey and a lot of people, and I said, you know, I'm on Chinese peptides. I might as well wear Chinese people's jerseys, and I said, "China's gonna take over this country, "so I want the Chinese to know that I support them." And then a lot of people are commenting, Jeremy Lynn was from Taiwan, and I'm saying, "What's the difference?" - A lot of people. - You know, you expect a kid who looks like me to know that or can. - Yeah, right. - Because the truth is, the truth is that, and the reason why I make that as a joke, I've said I know the difference, I know the problems, but the truth is, all that stuff only goes one way, because if you guess I was, you know, Italian, but I tell you I'm German, it doesn't matter to the other races, but if we got, I gotta know every frickin' corner of Asia, which every one of these fucking people are from. - Well, technically they are Chinese. - They're technically, I mean, they're not Taiwanese, I mean, they're Chinese, and I present and see, if you're watching this, it's one, two people, one country, what is it? Yeah, I mean, they are Chinese, they speak Mandarin, they're Chinese people. I think Taiwan should totally be unified with China. Now, can you get your fucking bots to boost our numbers? Just fucking shoot 'em over this way, 'cause we're pro-Chinese. - We're pro-Chinese. - We're gonna make, we're gonna rename this, "Rabra" on James. - Yeah. - We are "Rabra" on James, we're all for China. Now, here's the thing, here's what it is about the New York Knicks, here's where I think just the city, 'cause a lot of people think, what is it about New York? Why is New York so romanticized? Well, I can tell you, it has a deep root in its history. So, we were a Dutch colony, a freaky, deaky Dutch, you know that. A lot of even the names, Brooklyn, the Bronx, the Staten Island, all Dutch names, the British, British only, we were owned by the Dutch for about 50 years, and then the British took Flappush. - Flappush. - The Brooklyn. - Brooklyn. So, they took, you know, it was called New Amsterdam before, it was called New York, and the thing is about the Dutch, the difference is, is every other country, back in the 1600s, when the Dutch owned us, every other country, even every other colony, 13 colonies at the British owned, they were all about, they did not, all about segregation, because they felt they had to be, they weren't, they did not, what do you call it when you're allowed to on practice freedom or religion? What's the term for that? - Freedom or religion. But there's, but there's another term for it, where it's where they like, they just allow you to do whatever you want. Like they kind of, freedom? - Freedom, yeah, but there's another, civil liberties. - Now there's an variable rights. - There's another word for it. Let me, let me, let me us chat. There's another word for it, freedom, freedom. - Yeah, what do you, what do you call it? Hun, what do you call it when, you know, like in, in, in, in Dutch, you know, when the Dutch and the British, both on New York, the Dutch had a policy where they would just let everybody be who they wanted to be, practice freedom or religion and blah, blah, blah, blah, and just be free. And the British didn't, what's the term for that? Let's see what, let's see what chat says. Because, you know, I'm blanking here, but there's a term for it, freedom of, religious tolerance. They had taught, they allowed religious tolerance. They were tolerant, yeah. Where the Dutch were very tolerant. You could do whatever you want to do. The British were not tolerant because they said there's no way we can be tolerant because either we have to have all have one identity to fight the Spanish, to fight the Dutch, to fight the Native Americans. We all have to be one. We can't tolerate anything else because it's for our safety. Where the Dutch didn't look at it that way because the thing about the Dutch, it's very interesting. The thing, the fundamental difference between the Dutch and every European country at that time was land rights. So England was like you, this is the land of England. You, you, you know, you're a peasant on the land. You'll always be a peasant on the land. They were still feudal, feudal. There is no other way where the Dutch had a saying. They said God made, God made the planet, the Dutch made Holland because what the Dutch did is created a system. All that land you see in Amsterdam and Holland, 80% of it, the Dutch made it. It was just water. That whole country was water. So they started building up their own land through different dikes and, and, and, you know, use some lesbians. You know, use some lesbians. They, they, they, they, they, they're very handy. So they did all that. They did dams and they made all this land. So for the Dutch mindset was, well, we all own the land. We're all, we're all a part of this. We're all tolerant of each other. We made the land. So you won't always have to be a peasant. You help build this land. So you can have some land and you can have some money and they took these ideas and they put it all into New Amsterdam in the 1600s. And that wasn't, that was a, this whole idea of religious tolerance or tolerance of anybody. You have to understand 1640s, New Amsterdam, A.K. New York City, they had gays, they had blacks, they had Native Americans, they had whites, they had Chinese, no other colony had that. It was just the whites are here, the slaves are here, the Native Americans are over there and nobody else is coming in. But these kids, the only reason why they had a wall up on Wall Street for the Dutch was to keep the British out because the British were trying to come in with their intolerance. And the Dutch were like, we don't want that. We want everybody to be free here. That this whole Bohemian idea of New York City, which has spread across the whole world, it's got a very specific reason why it happened. That's what it is and look at even our New York Knicks team. We got a little bit of everything. You don't know what Nationality Josh Hart is. He could be Latino, he could be Dominican, he's half black, half white, Jalen Brunson. I think he's got a white mother. Karl Anthony Towns is gay. We got, right? We got, you know, OG, Anobi, African kid. We got all these players. Damn it, is he a Muslim? Shamit, you don't know. Shamit could be muzzed out. Tyler, the white kid Tyler is at the end of the bench. He's a white kid with floppy hair. It looks like number seven has supercuts. You know, so you don't know. So this tolerance that we have for New York City and the freaky, deaky Dutch that they brought to us, even though we are mostly a British colony and we're for the majority of our time and it's called New York, not New Amsterdam, it's kind of the way Mike Brown, the co-head coach of New York Knicks, inherited Tibidos team and even though Mike Brown did do some good coaching, got to give the kid credit. Better coaching. Better coaching, you have to give the kid credit. He inherited an already great team. Same thing as the British, New York, they inherited an already idealist, the idea of the Dutch of this Bohemian attitude. This New York city, it's different than every other colony. Still, it's different than every other city. There's a fundamental reason for that. If the Dutch didn't have New Amsterdam, 'cause that's the only one they had and the 13 colonies that they didn't have that, New York would be another city. It'd be like Boston and all these cities are great, but it's not New York. Yeah. The reason why New York is New York is because of the Dutch. Dutch. So the Dutch were the first capitalist people, too. They created the stock market. Amsterdam was like the first financial capital of Europe. Yes. It was the Dutch West India company that came over. That's Henry Hudson worked for them. And so they're the ones that came and founded New Netherlands and New Amsterdam was in New Netherlands. And then what happened was the British and French just fucking smacked them around and took it from them. They took it from them and what it is. It's what it is because the Dutch, here's the thing, too, is the Dutch themselves. They had an army. All these are the, but the Dutch really, the West Indies, the Dutch East India company, you have to understand there were all these companies that had their own armies. Like Peter Stuyvescent comes over as the eventual governor of New York, but he got his leg shot off fighting for a company to try to take over somewhere in the Caribbean. It wasn't like this nationalistic like we are the Dutch army. It was all these, it was like Tesla had its own, or Amazon had their own army. They were like the first international conglomerates. It was like multi-nationals. They had two, right? It was the Dutch East India company and the Dutch West India company. And both went those ways and they said, "Let's get your stuff." Yeah, it went to get stuff. It's what it is because you have, I mean, it's just the way it always was. Like Christopher Columbus, he sailed for the Spanish, but the kid was Italian. Henry Hudson, he sailed for the Dutch, the kid was English. Yeah, and Americano, Verano, Verizano? Yeah, yeah. Do you know the first-- America, Vespucci? No, I'm talking about Verizano. Oh, Giovanni De Venosano. Giovanni De Venosano. Do you know that the first European kid that touched down here was Italian? Was Italian? And he sailed for the French king. And he was an Italian kid, but he was actually the first one before the Dutch. Right. And then he got a bridge named after him. Yeah, the Verizano bridge, Stan. And that made it all the way to the movies where kid jumped off. Jumped off, signed in a fever. Now, of course, there's thousands of years of history before the Dutch or the British or the Spanish or whomever came here, you know, the Lenape Native Americans and all those kids, right? And people say that they're, you know, oh, that they were housed. Dude, but could they be? They sold the island Manhattan famously for $24. But that ain't really entirely true, guys. That was big money back then. That was big number one. You just have for inflation. You put that into stock, he put that in a van. Got it, you got nice cars right out. Because if I had $24 back in a day, I could go to Pino's Pizzeria. Yeah. I could get myself a pie for the friends and we could all get Italian ICs. Hey, let me ask you, if I had $24 and $16.53 and I put that in the stock market and you adjust for inflation in 2026, how much is that $24? Let's see what Chad says. How much is that $24? If you're asking it to, oh, just inflation, it would be $24 and $16.53 would roughly equal somewhere around $12,000 to $25,000 in 2026. Now, if you just invest in it in stocks, that comes out to roughly $2 trillion to $20 trillion. I mean, it's a lot of money. You'd have $2 trillion, so the kids actually got it for two trips. Yeah, I mean, if they had a better immune system as the kids would be rich. Yeah, I mean, it's so mean. So they got two trips, but the thing is also, they didn't just sell it for $24, it was a bartering system back then. They understood that they didn't really have property rights. No, it will be. was that they wanted the Dutch's protection. They wanted the protection from the Dutch, so they said, okay, we'll protect you, and it's just basically, you know, we're gonna, you know, give it to you for 24 hours, but we really, we want your guns. It's understood that. So that's what it was really about. They didn't, they'll not pay Native Americans didn't look at land for sale. They were like, this is of the earth, you don't own this. Mother, mother nature, who owns it? Who never owns it? The good sun god. So the Dutch didn't look at it that way, 'cause the Dutch make absolutely no mistake. The Dutch and their wooden shoes, those kids know how to make money. They don't get enough credit, but as you said, the stock market, well that's why the stock market is on Wall Street, the Dutch put it there. Yeah, they were the first capitalists, they were really the first, they ran the fur, and they exploded, and they became a power, and they sent the, they had those two big companies, they had stock, you ever have a Dutch pancake? And they tried to control the slave market as well. You ever have a Dutch pancake? Never had a Dutch pancake, I have a few Dutch ovens. I was gonna say, well, a Dutch pancake is yummy, yummy in your tummy. What is a Dutch pancake? It's a little pancake, and they put like apples on it, and they, yeah, that's a Dutch pancake, you can make a Dutch baby pancake, yeah. That looks like a crepe to me. And they're very, very good. Yeah. Dutch pancakes are yum cycles. So does that just not a crepe? I mean, I don't know, it's a Dutch pancake. When I went to Amsterdam, I got Dutch pancakes every day for breakfast and lunch. Dutchers tall kids. They're tall kids, and let me tell you something, Dutch women will get, they're so beautiful. They're gorgeous, and everyone's on a bicycle. Everyone likes to bike around there. They're all about health as well. They rent the bicycles. They're big and torrent, not property owning. I like the Dutch mindset. Yeah. I like the Dutch mindset where everything, it's capitalism, of course, but they're not into, you have to own everything, you have to, they're just like, why don't you invest your money a little bit and try not to spend too much. And I will absolutely masturbate to Dutch women. Just, it's got some Dutchies pulled up, and it's, yeah. They're gorgeous. Yeah, they're, you know, they have no fumes. No, no fumes, because you know me, and you know, I know when you got an erection and when you don't. I somehow, you do have some sort of sixth sense of that. And I always know a cause, and today you came in rock hard, and I said, what did you do in the car? What did you do on the test on the way over here? He said, cause I took a blue chew. I don't like, when I don't have a blue chew, I feel like I'm not strapped. I like to stay armed. In this New York city that we live in, you always got to stay armed. That's why I walked down Broadway with a blue chew, boner, a BCB, blue chew gold. Most E.D. meds only focus on blood flow.

And they could say they're allowed to, we were on, I was on a canal cruise with James Mannern when we did shows in New Amsterdam and the boat driver for no reason at all shout out, Jan told us that the white people in his country are free to say the N word cause it has no meaning. It's just, that's an American thing. So he was just letting the N word slip and he was laughing about it and he was just sitting there silently with our heads down. I understand how he came to that conclusion. He was like, do you know what's something about the Dutch? And he was like, you know, we can say the N word. It doesn't make, it has no, you know, we didn't treat our black people the way you treated our black people. So the black people will laugh at that here. And I was like, well, that's not, I don't want you to test it. You're making the Dutch sound like very like quakerish. Were they like super cool? Because that's not the impression I got. I thought that they were like super like into the slave trade and all that stuff. Well, they were at some point, but then they very quickly got rid of slaves and New Amsterdam. I told you, New Amsterdam had free African America, like free Africans all all over that city. So they got cool. They got cool. And they weren't, you know, they were involved. They were involved a little bit, I'm sure. I mean, the thing is everybody dipped in. Everyone dipped in. Everyone dipped in. Even African countries dipped in. Everyone was doing African countries. It's traded sold other Africans. Yeah, the Dutch slave trade is transported over 1.6 million people across the Atlantic and in the in oceans between 1596 and 1829. They shipped 600,000 slaves to Africans. Yeah, in a big part, that's why like guys like Peter Stuyvesen, who we mentioned earlier, who was the governor of New York, a lot of these guys were going down to these, you know, Caribbean countries because they were trying to get, they were getting slaves and they were fighting wars. I mean, Stuyvesen got his leg shot off. Yeah. The peg leg, Peter Stuyvesen, Stuyvesen High School. The kid got his leg shot off in a war. And most people would have died, the kid didn't die. And then most people, if you get a peg leg, you can just retire and Dutch society, but the kids are now I'm going to New York. Going to New York to try to make it in the big city with bright lights. It's bright lights, yeah, he put on his walking shoes on his peg leg and he just walked. Now, the Dutch still have some, they have some stuff in the Caribbean still. Oh, yeah. They got a Ruba. Yeah, they got a Ruba. What do they still got? They got a Ruba is a bit, a Ruba is the most well-known one. Yeah, I mean, when you go to a Ruba, you make absolute mistake, you're in the Netherlands. You're in the Netherlands, right? Yeah. You get, they got six islands in Leicester and Tilles. Oh, Curacao, Ruba. They got a Ruba, Caraco, and Saint Martin. So it's all, there's a Dutch side and a French side of Saint Martin. Yeah, there's a Dutch side and a French side. Now the Dutch, now the Dutch are kids right now. Have you ever been to Amsterdam? I've been to Amsterdam. I was on TV in the Netherlands. Wow. It's a show called Cosper and Lars. Really? Like doing stand up? Stand up. Wow. In English for the Dutch people. And did you like it? I did like it. It was a long time ago. I toured. We toured all over the Netherlands. Right. It was fun. Yeah, they're Scandinavian kids. You know what's something I heard the other day and it made me laugh because it is true and I never thought of it. This guy was like, you know, it's, I want, he wants to stop using the term x-pats because he has a good point. He's like, x-pats are just, they're immigrants, but they're white people. Right. Like, white people are x-pats and immigrants are black and Spanish. You're pretty funny. Yeah. It is, I mean, that's, I mean, there's truth to that. Right. Truth to that. Yeah. That is very funny. That white's just created a new term. Yeah, they're just called that. We're just x-pats. We're just x-pats. We're just x-pats. We're just x-pats. And they thought it was cool. Do we know what any of the other options were? Do you know what any of the other options were? know, like, you know, it's, I guess that's too why there's not a British team called the Fags. Because even though there, but you would think that somebody would call their recreation team the Fags and say it's British just for goof or the cunts. Right. Cause that's just a greeting for those people. Now, speaking of basketball, I'm back. Okay. So I'm going to this thing called switch house. Yeah. In New York City, where they do F 45 orange theory style of hit workouts, but you're playing basketball. Well, you're playing back to playing basketball. That should be really good for your killies. The other day, I took, I used to take a thousand shots a day, but I was with my stepson and we took a hundred shots and my killies was on fire. Yeah, you got to be careful. But I'm trying to play it because I said, I told you this today, you know, by the time this episode comes out, maybe it'll be May 28th, something like that. But I, my birthday is August 26th. I'm going to be 42. I want to dunk a basketball again. I want to dunk a basketball again in my life because I just want to say to myself, because here's the truth. I started peptides and I've, and I've opted to show the clock sticking. So, so I said, I want to be able to dunk a basketball. Yeah. Before the peptide stop working, because what happens is when these peptides start working, if you get what's called the boomerang effect, you like, you like, you like, you gain about 80 pounds in a month. So before I blow out, and then once I blow, because here's the truth about me cause is if I blow out again, there's no coming back from that one. That's the last blowout. Right. So if you see me blowing out again, just know my, my day is up. You've been very good at blowing out, getting down and then blowing out. I blow out for a weekend and I'm back. If I just have one day where I eat good, I'm like, I drop like 10 pounds in a day. But make no mistake that you're blown out. Fat again. Yeah. I just had a horrible weekend. I put on and lose weight very quick. Very quick. But so you, you're really on borrowed time. You are kind of like Cinderella with the peptide. I am. Yeah. Yeah. So that's my last slip off. Yeah. Glacier was the peptide. So that's the new gold. Now you're Chrissy Dunk again. Now I'm Chrissy Dunk again. And I'm, and I, and I've been, cause here's the thing with me cause it's just inside me from practice, but even my stepson, who let's be honest hates me, even my stepson. He admitted, he was like, well, you got a really smooth jump shot because I see your jumper. You got a nice, smooth jump. So I just got it in me where if I can get a little bit pain free, I mean, I could just bang threes. Yeah. And I could take nice jump. Are you go, are you going, are you talking about getting a very serious about a reckling? Yeah. I want to play ball. You want to play ball. I get it. I want to play ball. And are you Chelsea Pierce, Chrissy? Yeah. I want to do Chelsea Pierce, Chrissy. And I want to, this thing, switch house is very, very interesting for guys that want to play basketball, but also work out. There's no defense. Yeah. You just do shooting drills. They do those drills where they pull you back with the rubber band. You do dribbling drills. You do passing drills and you get a real nice work. And then you hit the weights a little bit. It's real nice. And it's just mostly guys, which I like because I think if you really work hard, you might be able to make it into ice cubes, three on three. You think I could do that? I think you could do that. Or we could just start a podcast league. We got four guys right here. Yeah, we could. This is because you want to be the star of our squad because make no mistake. Two of your teammates are over 50. It's what it is. And make no mistake. If I want to get a dunk and I can't get there yet, I'll jump off Patti clips his butt. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He could be our fifth guy. Yeah. And we just have him set and screens. Jesse would have to just stand. He would always he'd be an anchor on defense. And then we could do a fast break them because he would he can't run. He can't move. He's got one knee. It's got one knee. And we're very inclusive team because from the back, Nick, like Nick looks like he's in the WNB. Yeah. So from the back, you might think we have a growner team. Yeah. I mean, it would just it would really you'd be the only guy who could play because and but you don't you don't even you don't have an Achilles tendon. That's the only issue is on the right. I got no Achilles tendon. But just like they're doing PRP pepped. What is the PRP stand for again, peptide replacement plasma replacement therapy. Yeah. Yeah. Just like they're doing that with, you know, different players on the next. I'm going to do that. I'm going to pay big bucks to get that done on my Achilles and I'm just going to feel good. Do you know that I have not played basketball? I don't think in even a pickup game or anything. I think literally 20 years once less than you shot a ball. I think I've shot a few balls like in driveways or whatever, but only a few times. I'm talking about 20 years. I just I like when I was 30, I think it was the last time I played. I was like 30 and I was just done and I haven't done anything with basketball. I don't even know if I remember how to play bad. When's the last time you played basketball? It's been a long it's been a long time, but I almost got sucker back in. I joined the Y and they had a wreck league on this is a couple of years ago and I watched and I was like no fucking wake. They started arguing right away started throwing elbows. No, I'm out. I'm out here. You the one in Park Slope. The one in in Cobble Hill. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was like I was real tempted. I was like I want to get back there. I think John Bernthal plays in that one. Oh does he? I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I say they were nice to rub up against him. The other Ethan Hawke played there too. What? Ethan Hawke. Ethan Hawke. Yeah. Does Ethan Hawke live in Cobble Hill? Yeah, he does. Yeah, seeming the streets. Yeah, all the time. I saw him at the Y. Really? Yeah. Yeah. People come up to him. Does it get bombarded? Not really. Well, at the Y. Yeah, it was kind of annoying. I felt bad for him. People were talking coming up to him. Yeah, he was there and he wanted it. He was shooting around with his kid and then you know, they they like they're both the over and they're like hey, we're going to run up five on five. You know, you got to get out of here. They just tried to big league them because they knew he was famous. Oh, so they didn't. They were messing with them. Yeah, in a way. That's not what it a flown with. Yeah. No, no. Yeah. I would have protected him. Yeah. I would have thrown hands for him. Yeah. I would throw Ethan. I'll throw hands for you. Yeah. Yeah. I love you. Yeah. You love it. Big. The whole goal is to get him on this pot. We're going to try and the answer has been a resounding no. No, but you haven't even asked. Well, the problem is is yeah, I went through some channels and the problem is first of all, Ethan Hawks friends with Neo Vardalovs. I think the couple of issues working against us. One, you know, um, he doesn't really know us personally too when he looks at my Instagram, the first pictures we like that. That was three. My favorite thing. Yeah. That's the first thing on your Instagram. Why are you trying to get a family friendly? Yeah. Yeah. I took, I remember I took it. I took a little travel over your page. Yeah. We were all waiting to hear what you got. I just saw this. Yeah. Yeah. And then I just said, Jesse, I just sent this to you. This is what my boys hit me with this. They said this was all over the internet today or yesterday on Saturday. I just sent it to the group chat. But somebody made a meme. Yeah. Of that. They took that picture. Yeah. So that's just what people see. This is from a only Deng's official that said making Asian eyes at the Bacharach table and pieces of chins and winning by 67% of the picture of me doing the Asian eyes. And Matt Richards sent it to me. Yeah. Shout out Matt Richards. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's very funny that we're like aliens are clearly here and nobody cares. All they care about is roast jokes. Roast jokes. Yeah. That's all that the news. So that's the thing working against us with Ethan Hawke. But I cause I still have faith. I got faith big. I got faith big. I'll and listen. If it, if it really comes down to him, we're getting nowhere. I'll put in a call to the big dog Jimmy Kimmel. I'll put in the call to the big JK. JK make things happen. Yeah. Put it in a call. We might have to go out to LA, but I'll put it in a call to the big dog. No. Big dog. He's here. He's here. But I'll see. He was doing some podcast. Well, he did. No, he did. No, he did. Rogan. It's all I don't know. Okay. Yeah. He did the big boys. Yeah. I don't think he did anything. Do I paint your name, Jesse? Yeah. Because cause now that was kind of a fascinating history about about Amsterdam. Right? Because and now you know the history of the name, the New York Knicks is based on the history of New York. But isn't that interesting about where the mindset of the Dutch comes from? How they built their own land? Yeah. Because all that land wasn't there and they made it. So then that, so they did landfill back there? That's all of Holland. Most of Holland is just, it's just landfill. Wow. They're smart kids. Isn't that wild? Yeah. And then they, they kind of made this land come out of water. Yeah. So, so to them, they look at it as then we all own the land, which I think is, it's just a simple thing that goes a long way. Well, but what you don't understand cause is this land is your land. Yeah. This land is my land. Yeah. From California to the New York Isles. Yeah. Yeah. So the land was made for you and me. It was made. I'm not there. Yeah. Me, so I'm skiing. All right. Here we go. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. So this is true. We go back to our episode with Radell Ortiz, the first Dominican, the first New York City resident, Dominican kid. That's contested. I think there's this contested, but that's a viral clip. So she just go there. Just go for that. Go there for my man. And listen, the Lidapoli, unfortunately, the, I did a lot of research. It was 70 to 90% of all Native Americans just got wiped out by small. It was unfortunately inevitable. That's the problem. They don't, they don't teach you that. But unfortunately, we were just dirty, dirty kids. Right. And the contact with smallpox or the flu, all these diseases. I mean, these people lived in isolation for 13,000 years. Yeah. We didn't touch each other. So they just didn't have the immunity for these diseases. Well, that's because they didn't keep their six feet distance. They didn't keep, they didn't social distance. They should have social distance and listen to Fauci. But isn't that interesting? They don't tell you that. So like when the, they fit the narrative. The Europeans did wipe out the rest. But if the viruses hadn't wiped out 90%. I don't think the Europeans would have been that successful. It was a lot of Indians here. Yeah. We're a bit harder. People make, people make narratives work for them. It's just, you know, when you look at all of history, you're like, it's almost shit. And also, yeah, that one's just kind of hard to wrap your head around that. It's like that, because that's just like, damn, nature's brutal, dude. It is pretty funny when you think about it, you know, scientists have already proved that just the planet Earth is like a, is like a grain of sand on, you know, millions and millions of beaches. And yet, you know, people get, you know, get bent out of shape about stupid shit that happens to them. or racism, or they didn't make enough money, or this or that, and you look at how infinitely small we are, and you realize how truly, truly, truly dumb it is for someone to call themselves a king. - Yeah. - How truly meaningless it all is. - Not only are we small in the universe, but everything goes away. - Yeah. - That's the funny thing, it's like, this is all ephemeral. - So shouldn't you just be happy for as long as you can because what's the difference? - I think you suppose you're happy, and I think you should see the good in everything, you should see the good in everything, and try to connect to something deeper, deeper sense of peace, and understand this is more just like a game. Connection is the real. We're here on a mission to be good to our fellow man, spread joy to spread laughs, but material things never brings anyone any happiness, because you're basically pushing a wrap, we're all sycophants, we're just pushing it. I mean, you lose it at the end. - Yeah, so don't worry about who's going into whose bathroom, just shut up and enjoy it. - Shut up and enjoy it. - All right, here we go. - And let's see, unless my daughter's in there, then go on the other bed. - We go to Patreon.com/history-history. - Go to Patreon.com/history-history-hyenas.
