Episode Overview

In this raucous, joke-laden episode, Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas dive into the life and legacy of Edward Bernays, the self-described “father of public relations” – and nephew of Sigmund Freud – whose psychological insights reshaped American consumerism, politics, and even breakfast. Through humor and sharp commentary, the Hyenas unpack how Bernays manipulated the masses using his uncle’s psychoanalytic principles, transforming everything from what’s on your plate to who runs your government, and they explore if he was a genius or a devil.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Setting the Scene: Why Study Bernays?

• The hosts set the vibe with playful banter, discussing their weekends and riffing on social media manipulation before focusing on Edward Bernays and the pervasiveness of propaganda.
• They clarify Bernays as the creator of the very term "public relations" and explain how "propaganda" only carries a negative sense due to Nazi use.

  "If you don't know who this is, just know that the term public relation pr he coined it." (08:25)

2. Freud’s Nephew – Background and Influences

• Bernays' deep connection to Freud: nephew, mentee, and promoter.
• Freud’s psychoanalysis influenced Bernays’ belief in the unconscious, group psychology, and the “engineering of consent.”
• Bernays popularized Freud in the U.S., turning him into a bestseller by making his work seem controversial.

  "Even the reason we even know about Sigmund Freud in the level that we know him is because of Edward Bernays." (14:15)

• Freud’s ideas provided the blueprint Bernays used to move the masses: people are led by unconscious desires, not logic.

3. The Invention of Modern Marketing – Manipulating Your Breakfast

• Bacon and Eggs Campaign:
  Bernays invents the "hearty American breakfast" at the behest of the Beechnut Packing Company, using dubious “scientific” consensus from doctors to make bacon and eggs the norm.

  "Beechnut Packing company took a gamble. Nobody was eating bacon anymore...puts out all these commercials that says 5,000 physicians confirm the finding that bacon and eggs is the healthiest way to start the day." (17:43)

• "All breakfast foods are just PR," mocks Chris, highlighting that a muffin is really just cake.
• The hosts unpack the psychological trick: frame something as endorsed by authority (doctors), create a “herd mentality,” and the idea becomes gospel.

4. Fluoride in the Water – Disposing Industry Waste, Branding as Health

• Bernays was hired by the aluminum industry to make water fluoridation palatable, leveraging dentists as respected spokespeople and distracting from toxicity concerns.

  "He worked with the U.S. public Health Service and leveraged the American Dental association to promote the idea that water fluoridation was safe and beneficial for dental health. But we don’t know that it was." (21:16–22:34)

• The campaign rebranded an industrial waste byproduct as essential for a beautiful American smile, using suppression and selective science.

5. Women, Smoking, and the “Torches of Freedom”

• Lucky Strikes Cigarettes Campaign:
  Bernays orchestrated a campaign for Lucky Strike to entice women to smoke, branding cigarettes as “Torches of Freedom” and using fashion and subconscious cues to intervene in suffrage-era gender norms.

  “He paid all these models and influencers to start wearing green...and then he paid a bunch of these chicks to walk around and smoke at beauty pageants.” (27:19)
  “The real reason…is he spoke to a psychologist …the reason why what a cigarette really is, is it's a penis. That’s what it symbolizes. The penis symbolizes power. The way you give women penises is you give them cigarettes.” (28:17–28:43)

• Bernays tapped into the Freudian “penis envy,” and, unaware of health risks, normalized female smoking with devastating health consequences.

  “One study said that this campaign alone probably killed something like 3 million women.” (33:04)

6. Selling Want, Not Need: Desire as the Basis of Capitalism

• Bernays’ genius (or devilry) was changing marketing from meeting needs to manufacturing wants.

  “He changed it from needs to wants. And that's big. That's the major thing.” (34:30)

• The hosts link this shift to contemporary branding: why we want Jordans, not just any shoe.

7. Brand Endorsements and Athlete Advertising: Bernays’ Legacy

• Using athletes and celebrities to sell products (from LeBron and Sprite to “cool” sneakers): all Bernays' legacy.

  “His whole thing was like, you don't sell the product, you sell a story. You sell [a] narrative based on the unconscious urges.” (33:46)

8. Political Manipulation and Coups: The United Fruit Company and Guatemala

• Bernays ran PR for United Fruit Company, creating propaganda during the 1954 Guatemalan coup. He reframed Guatemala’s land reform efforts as a communist threat, swayed American policymakers and press, and set the stage for a CIA-backed coup.

  “Every time you see words PR public relations, just know that it's propaganda. They just changed the word because propaganda has a negative connotation.” (40:43)

• The hosts emphasize the real-world consequences: destabilized Central America, long-lasting suffering.

9. The Engineering (and Manufacturing) of Consent

• Whether called “engineering of consent” or “manufacturing consent” (coined later by Chomsky), the principle is the same: steer people’s choices by giving them the illusion of agency while guiding them toward pre-determined outcomes.

  “I created the game and you chose what I wanted you to choose.” (20:33)

10. The Ethics of Manipulation – Devil or Genius?

• Was Bernays evil, or just pragmatic? The show grapples with if modern society can function without manipulation, and if consent is ever really “free.”

  "Edward Bernays. Okay, Villain, hero, yo, no, say you got to tell us in the comments, ok? Just know that you're eating bacon, smoking cigarettes, going to Guatemala. It's all because of Edward Bernays." (50:49)

• They compare Bernays to figures like Goebbels (who was a fan), and ponder his legacy, noting his daughter's critical memoir and his complex personality.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the shift from needs to wants:

  “Before this, in the night, all of American time, 1918s, 1900s, you were just promoted. Products were promoted because of necessity...Then he changed, changed it from needs to wants. And that’s big.” (34:30)

• Bernays and Nazi Propaganda:

  "Joseph Goebbels of the—the top propagandist, chief of the Nazis...He said it publicly. I took Edward Bernays, his book, and I applied it to the propaganda of the Nazis.” (13:49)

• On herd mentality:

  "He only thought about people in groups...His favorite cognitive bias was the herd." (16:42–17:07)

• On celebrity endorsements and selling “cool”:

  “You want to be fucking cool? You want to be like Mike? That was Edward Bernays.” (36:12)

• On fluoride campaign:

  "At this time...fluoride was known as the active ingredient in rat poison. Only—Mother of Cheese campaign successfully rebranded it as a key ingredient for gleaming healthy teeth..." (22:43)

• On Guatemala coup:

  “He caused a coup to get...He advised on a coup. And he destabilized Central America, which by the way, a lot of countries, you know, United States, that's what they do.” (44:31–44:51)

• Existential reflection:

  “Was he probably not a great guy? Probably not, right? I mean, supposedly...he was a control freak...his daughter said he was constantly having nightmares about his campaigns going wrong or whatever.” (49:03–49:33)

Final Reflection: The “United States of Edward Bernays”

• The Hyenas argue that modern America is built far more on advertising and manipulation than on “freedom.”
• They urge listeners to be more aware of manipulation:

  “The more you’re aware of them [cognitive biases], the more you can protect your own individualism and your own soul. Because it’s out there.” (51:11)

• Ultimately, the episode is a raucous, irreverent warning that nearly every "choice" in American life has Edward Bernays' fingerprints on it—and the only antidote might be a little laughter and self-awareness.

Enjoy this episode. It's going to be a good one. Just know if you're eating bacon and smoking a cigarette, you got manipulated. What's up everybody? Welcome to another episode of the History Hyenas. I'm Chris DiStefano, aka Chrissy Avocado. No feta. With me as always, Giannis Papas, AKA Yannis.

[Giannis Papas]

Looking cute. So are you. You're looking very cute. And you're ready for the fall. You can't wait till it gets to the weather that your ancestors like, which is a little, little cloudy and a little cool.

[Chris DiStefano]

A little cloudy, a little cool. I was in Chicago this weekend, it was 60 degrees and it was nice and I gotta be honest with you, I. I woke up every two hours with gas. So I'm a little sleepy.

[Giannis Papas]

You have gas because you may be overdoing it with the husk. Like me. I haven't shit in a week now.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, it's just what it is. Cuz I. They call me Elon Husk.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. I just don't know who to believe when I ask what is the proper dosage of husk? Because Robert Kennedy Jr. Has me questioning everything right now.

[Chris DiStefano]

I just throw a little bit in a cup, I drink it with a little bit of water. Sometimes a tablespoon, sometimes it's a teaspoon, sometimes it's a forkful, I don't know.

[Giannis Papas]

Well, what I'm doing right now is I'm creating an anti vaccine company. So whatever vaccines you or your babies got, my company, we have reverse vaccines.

[Chris DiStefano]

Nice.

[Giannis Papas]

So it's a nice new thing. I want you all to check it out on my website, giannispappiscomedy.com I'm working with some doctors, they got lab coats, it's headed up by Dr. Drew. And what we're going to do is we're going to give you negative vaccines. So whatever vaccine you got, it will reverse it.

[Chris DiStefano]

Reverse it.

[Giannis Papas]

And then in turn your autism will be cured.

[Chris DiStefano]

Not cuz, I mean here's the thing is I went off the beam this weekend eating I went, I started eating Italian food, pasta. I started eating pizza. And then I even. I blacked this out. But when I got in my car this morning, there were two Carvel anchors in my cup holders that I forgot that I ate in the parking lot at Carvel at a Saturday. I landed at LaGuardia Saturday at 10am and then I stopped at the Carvel by my house and ate two Carvel answers in the parking lot before I went home.

[Giannis Papas]

I got one thing to say. Yeah, not that bad. As long as it's not a priest. The blackout status bad. Well, if you got a pain over the pain with a little chocolate Carvel.

[Chris DiStefano]

So be well, I don't know, because there were some rosary beads in the Carvel edge.

[Giannis Papas]

So maybe it was a two for one.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Maybe it was a date with a priest. Yeah, it's what it is. Because you were set in motion by the prime mover. That prime mover was Father Bill.

[Chris DiStefano]

Father Bill.

[Giannis Papas]

Now that's a throwback to the now.

[Chris DiStefano]

Cuz. Here's the thing. You and I met at a. We just want to. Quickly, before we get. We have an amazing episode today about Edward Bernays and we're going to tell you the reason you ate bacon and how we're all being manipulated every moment of the day. And this guy is the father of it. Some people say he's Satan, some people say he's the man. I don't know. But we were in a cafe just a couple of blocks from the studio. And to the two girls who we saw, we just want to apologize for yelling out, you're gonna get cleaned. And spraying fabuloso and trying to rub down your back with wet napkins. We're sorry that we did so please don't sue us. But you just had to get cleaned and we had to clean. We went in the back and we got the cleaning products and we cleaned you.

[Giannis Papas]

We're a couple of married guys, so all we were doing is just doing a little sunbathing. That's it.

[Chris DiStefano]

Because. Explain what sunbathing.

[Giannis Papas]

Sunbathing is when you just enjoy the sun. You're bathing in the light of sweet, sweet Poo's poos. Yes, you're just taking a peek. But much like the sun, you don't stare directly at it. It's too powerful. You just bathe in its glory. You just take a peek, you stroll.

[Chris DiStefano]

And you consume the view. That's all it is. Because we were saying how being married. This is great because we can just take a look and we can Just we're sunbathing. We're not actually looking into the sun. We're not taking our glasses off and walking towards the sun. We cannot do that. So what we do so this way. Because if not, it's too out of control. If you're single and free out there, it's too out of control. You want to talk to every single woman that walks by. It's too intoxicating. So it's nice to just be in a cage.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

And it's nice to just say, I'm just going to go do a little sunbathing. I'm going to take a little. What I'm going to do is I'm going to look at a woman, a beautiful woman in the cafe. I'm going to take her in. I'm going to sunbathe. I might give a little sniff if I'm close enough. Take a little sunbathe, a little sniff. And then you go back. What you do is you do what we, as good husbands do. We go back and then the. To our wives, and we are good husbands. And then when we eventually get to have sex with our wives, which is maybe, you know, at the end of this calendar year or next year, we'll just think about those girls as we're having sex with our wife. Because you don't control the empire. In between my ears, which is my brain, that is for me.

[Giannis Papas]

That's for you.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

That's your palace. That's your heaven or hell.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

That's where the beam resides. Yes. If you see me walking behind you and I start taking my clothes off, down to a bathing suit, I'm just sunbathing.

[Chris DiStefano]

That's all it is.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm just following your rays. I'm basking in your warmth.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Taking a little sun.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah. And if you ever see me and you say, oh, Chris, did you stop comedy? Are you a custodian now? Why do you have all these cleaning products around you? It's just because there's hot women in the area.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. If you see me and Chrissy walking around, we got a tool belt on, and that tool belt is filled with fabuloso, Windex and other cleaning products. And we walk up the girls and we just give them a little spritz, it just means, hey, babe, I want to clean you.

[Chris DiStefano]

That's what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. If I do a little spritz and then Chrissy comes with a sponge and starts wiping her down, we're just cleaning.

[Chris DiStefano]

If you ever see me walking by you and you say, oh, is that Robert Downey Jr. From Tropic Thunder. It looks a lot like Chrissy D. Just know that I was just around a ton of hot women and I just caught so much sun that I had to go into blackface.

[Giannis Papas]

You know, I love this podcast. You know why I really love it? It's a confusing place out there. People are overwhelmed. People are tired. They just have fatigue. Everyone is out just pulling strings, manipulating them, trying to get them to believe this, that, the other thing. And you just come here and you get to just be yourself, be silly. Be the person you were born.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Don't be the person that was made. You're the little child. You're the little kid. You're the innocent little baby Jesus. Before the world got a hold of you, before Edward Bernays and his methods got into their, hooks into your brain. This is who you get to be when you come listen to us.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Just here to have a silly willy time.

[Chris DiStefano]

That's all it is. And that's why with this world that we live in, where if you make one mistake, say one bad thing, especially on the Internet, your whole life can be over. That's why we encourage you. Go to patreon.com history hyenas and do what we do. We say whatever we want on the Patreon, and you, as the listener, can say and do whatever you want on the Patreon. That's why you're paying 5 bucks or 10 bucks a month to be free again. Because we don't live in as free of a world as we used to. But patreon.com history hyenas, that's where the real freedom is, baby. That's where the freedom torches are.

[Giannis Papas]

We live in a distraction attention economy dictated by a Chinese algorithm, a force you algorithm based on interest that hooks you. Like a dopamine junkie.

[Chris DiStefano]

Exactly.

[Giannis Papas]

And the Chinese won.

[Chris DiStefano]

They won. That's why I said the other day that iPhones are just Chinese finger traps.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, that's.

[Chris DiStefano]

That's what they are.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. It's just about trending searches. You can do any sensationalist comment as long as it's about something that's bigger than you or trending, you'll get the attention. That's why you see extremists everywhere. I know. It's exhausting, everybody. So just come over to our podcast. Take a deep breath, box, breathe. And ask yourself, am I a cute kid? Because the answer is yes. Because the way you should see yourself is the way your mom sees you. And it's often a lie.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Your mom says you're the greatest, but she's lying.

[Chris DiStefano]

She's.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, but who's to say what the truth is? Edward Bernays sure wouldn't listen.

[Chris DiStefano]

Edward Bernays. If you don't know who this is, just know that the term public relation pr he coined it. Okay. He is the father of modern day public relations, PR and propaganda. The word propaganda is really only got a negative connotation because of the Nazis. Because of Joseph Goebbels, the proper. Which I call the real father of pr.

[Giannis Papas]

Well you could say Edward Bernays crawled.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

So Goebbels could walk.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, it's just what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Goebbels actually was a big fan of Bernays. There was just one thing he wasn't a fan of.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, that's.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, that's his background.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, it's just.

[Giannis Papas]

But he did consume his books and he liked his work. He just. And he was one quoted as saying we use the Jews tricks against the Jews. Yeah, it's just what he said.

[Chris DiStefano]

Just what he said. Paraphrasing paraphrase. So Edward Bernays, who he is, we're going to talk all about a modern day father of pr. What's very interesting about Edward Bernays is he had a very famous uncle. Do you know whose famous uncle was?

[Giannis Papas]

Was it Phil? Yeah. No it wasn't Uncle Philip.

[Chris DiStefano]

Edward Bernays uncle. And is actually. He was actually a double nephew.

[Giannis Papas]

I thought you meant that he was the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

[Chris DiStefano]

Oh yeah. Y. One time I called. One time I called my mom when I was a little kid and I just told her that Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince Bel Air died and it was just a prank. And she got so upset me when she found out it wasn't true because she just.

[Giannis Papas]

She went, you know, she went and lit a candle.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Wet little candle for him.

[Chris DiStefano]

And because I used to go to my aunt Eileen's house until my mom got home from work and then.

[Giannis Papas]

Which is basically your house just downstairs.

[Chris DiStefano]

Just downstairs, yeah. And so. But it was two houses in one.

[Giannis Papas]

And she separated by a neutral staircase.

[Chris DiStefano]

And I remember my mom getting upset with me as soon as she came in. She put down her bags from Stop and Shop and she had pizza from Joe and John's and her face was always a little cold. And she said to me, she's like, why did you lie to me? You said that Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince had died and you made that up. I was like, sorry, I was just doing a little prank. And then I. And I Leaned on there smoking a cigarette. And she went, lyn, he's disturbed.

[Giannis Papas]

He's just a disturbed kid.

[Chris DiStefano]

He's disturbed.

[Giannis Papas]

Christopher, you're disturbed.

[Chris DiStefano]

Disturbed. And I would always walk upstairs with a half eaten thing of saltine crackers in Arizona ice tape.

[Giannis Papas]

And then she said, christopher, get out of my house. Now my question to you is on what step were you out of her house?

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Oh, that's a good point because is it the fifth step? How many steps were there?

[Chris DiStefano]

There was 14 steps and that's between.

[Giannis Papas]

The bottom and the top.

[Chris DiStefano]

So I guess the seventh step. Well, we had, in my apartment we had a. I'm sorry, in my staircase there was a skylight that my uncle put in. So maybe when you started to see the light of the skylight you were out. You were out of the darkness of downstairs and into the light of upstairs.

[Giannis Papas]

So once you got onto like the ninth step you could turn around and just be like, you can still hear me. But I'm not in your house. I'm in my house.

[Chris DiStefano]

I'm safe here.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm safe here. Yeah, yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

And if you come up any further up the stairs, my mom will throw a half polished off bottle of white Zinfandel at your head. But you know who his uncle was? Do you know Edward Bernays? His uncle was, this is true, like, and this is like Sigmund Freud. Sigmund Freud, that's who it was, Sigmund Freud. Now Sigmund Freud kind of taught Edward Bernays all the ways of kind of psychological, not even manipulation, just psychology. And what Edward Bernays saw is during wartime the term was propaganda. Right? And how he used, they needed to use the United States and Sigmund Freud and everybody needed to use propaganda during World War I to get masses of people to do what they wanted for the war effort. But Edward Bernays said if it can work during wartime, it can probably work even better during peacetime. And the term propaganda got a negative connotation because of Joseph Goebbels and the Nazis. So he just conveniently, Edward Bernays just conveniently changed the word propaganda to public relations. But when you hear today your PR agent is just a propagandist Nazi like Joseph Goebbels.

[Giannis Papas]

Edward Bernays not talked about enough. The father of pr, he loved that term. Oh yeah, he was an interesting guy who liked not getting the credit. He thought the message should get the credit because. But he felt very ego. He had, he was, he had, his ego was very tied to how good his work was.

[Chris DiStefano]

Well the part that he had right is he did not want to be famous. He wanted to be in the background.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

And just make the money. So that's.

[Giannis Papas]

But then on the other side he kind of did want to be famous because he did make public appearances. He did write books.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada. Yeah. But he is an interesting guy. That was Sigmund Freud's nephew. Was close to Sigmund Freud. Would go back in summers in Vienna. Was born in Vienna but immigrated to New York. Ended up getting an apartment on the Upper east side with his family and then moved to Long island where he learned how to be a criminal.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's just what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Kid grew up in Long Island. His dad was a merchant, made a lot of money. So he grew up rich. But he was a guy that really admired his uncle. He actually carried a picture of his uncle in his wallet.

[Chris DiStefano]

Sigmund Freud?

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. No, Edward Bernays.

[Chris DiStefano]

Oh, Edward Bernays carried a picture of his uncle Sigmund Freud.

[Giannis Papas]

Sigmund Freud. He had a picture in his wallet of Sigmund Freud and his daughter Anna. His daughter Anna was not a fan and wrote a book about him that was kind of telling. Called him a control freak and all that. But if you go to his background to start it, he admired Sigmund Freud. He consumed all those books and was heavily influenced by Sigmund Freud. Took those methods and put them into the marketplace.

[Chris DiStefano]

Put them into the marketplace. And even furthermore, Edward Bernays, his ideas that he wrote between the 1920s when he's in the late 1930s, Joseph Goebbels of the. The top propagandist, chief of the Nazis. It's no debating. He said it publicly. I took Edward Bernays, his book and I applied it to the propaganda of the Nazis. So that's just what it was.

[Giannis Papas]

He was just a big fan. Like I said, he was a big fan of the work. He was, he was a big fan of the message, not the messenger.

[Chris DiStefano]

So let me. And also. And well we'll explain everything about Edward Bernays. But something interesting too that happens is you know, even the reason we even know about Sigmund Freud in the level that we know him is because of Edward Bernays. Because at the end Sigmund Freud's. He lost his whole fortune during the Great Depression.

[Giannis Papas]

Blew it up his nose.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, he blew it up his nose and he lost everything. He lost all his savings. So he needed a way to make money. So Edward Bernays was Able to through public relations. He started getting Sigmund Freud's books sold in a major way. And what he did, which is still being done today, which is what again only when I got into the career of entertainment did I realize how much I was being manipulated by entertainment my whole life. What Bernays did back in 1930, something which again still done today all the time is he made Sigmund Freud's books controversial. He made them controversial in an effort for you to start talking about and buy them. Just like Sydney Sweeney. Perfect example. Last month the jeans controversy. How could American Eagle do that? They, of course it was on purpose. It was, they knew that people were going to get upset. So that's my thing that you constantly see is whether you're angry at the left or the right, whether you're angry at the jeans or not, you're being manipulated. Constantly. Constantly, you're being manipulated.

[Giannis Papas]

The interesting, the really interesting thing to me about Edward Bernays, the thing that's most salient about his story.

[Chris DiStefano]

Salient's a good word.

[Giannis Papas]

It's a good word.

[Chris DiStefano]

I like to put salient drops in my eyes when they get dry.

[Giannis Papas]

That's where they go. Is that it really is a real world case study about how right Sigmund Freud was about the unconscious. That we're all driven by these unconscious desires. I mean it's just, it's the biggest case study ever done. It's a whole country, a whole world where Edward Brunei said this is how my uncle said the human psyche functions. Let me take that and implement that into the real world for dollar signs. Right. And for power. And it works. It worked every way. The reason why we eat bacon at breakfast, the reason why we smoked cigarettes, the list goes on and on and on and on and on for how he used cognitive biases that he learned from his uncle. Unconscious drives, sexuality, latent violence, all the things. We're just babies, we're all just drooling babies.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's just what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

He capitalized on that.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yes, because what. But they, they. Sigmund Freud referred to this as the engineering of consent. Basically he said all you have to do is manipulate large groups of people to consent to a thing. So Edward Bernays did not look at. He never thought about one person. He only thought about people in groups. He never ever ever.

[Giannis Papas]

And he would favorite cognitive bias was the, was the herd.

[Chris DiStefano]

The herd. And he constantly, according to you'll follow the group. He constantly calls everyone stupid. The herd was stupid. His kids were stupid. His secret. Everybody was just stupid idiots but he was constantly able. But his thought process was, rather than being like, oh these people are so stupid and I'm a bit smarter than I can, you know, I should stop manipulating them. He was like, hey, if I'm smarter than you and you're going to let me manipulate you, I'm going to do it all day and get rich often. Now the bacon and eggs is a very interesting thing because you know, before this idea. So basically what happened, there was a company. Jesse, if you could Google what was the company, the bacon company that was struggling.

[Giannis Papas]

It was big company.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, but it was a, it was a company. Where was it? I want to. The Beach Nut Packing company. They hired Edward Bernays to increase sales of its bacon. So they, you know, this is, they took the gamble. Beechnut Pack company took a gamble. Nobody was eating bacon anymore. There were, their sales were suffering. So Bernays comes up with the idea that says let me talk to doctors. Let me just. People trust doctors. No, let me talk to doctors and see if they'll basically work with me. And they conduct some kind of study which is, you know, you're not really lying but you kind of are. You're like fudging the results to show you that having bacon and eggs much heartier breakfast will be better for you. Because before then light breakfast was the way, which is the way it should be. That's why the term is breakfast break fast. So the way that they were, we were doing it for 200 years was the right way. They would eat a very, very light breakfast. In Europe they still do that. They'll have like a very light pastry, a light fruit. They're not eating these hearty things. This is an American thing. So he convinces people, puts out all these commercials that says 5,000 physicians confirm the finding that bacon and eggs is the healthiest way to start the day. And then boom, now we have bacon and eggs and Denny's and just fat, fat, fat people walking around because of Edward Bernays. And the media blitz came with scientific, scientific evidence. Bernays said he contacted all his media friends and he said, put this out there, put it out there in the papers, on the news. Breakfast improves the health of the American people. And the healthiest breakfast is bacon and eggs. So if you're eating a bacon and egg right now while you're listening to us jerking off in your truck on i95, just know, baby gorgeous, that you got manipulated by Edward Bernays.

[Giannis Papas]

There's just a, there's somebody driving on the highway right now who has a bacon, egg and Cheese sandwich in their hand and they just squirted ketchup all over their jeans.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Because they were like, is he looking at me? Is he watching me?

[Chris DiStefano]

Yes.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. The reason why bacon is part of the American breakfast is directly because of Edward Bernays.

[Chris DiStefano]

Directly because of Edward ber. He may. Because you know, really even all breakfast foods, like really what you should have be having for breakfast is like grilled chicken and sweet potatoes, like have something high. But we would say, no, that's a lunch.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

All these things are just ideas that PR has made. Bernays is responsible for most of them, but other people are responsible. Why do you, when you eat a muffin for breakfast, you're just eating a piece of cake.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

That's all you're eating is a piece of cake. They just call it a muffin. So your brain thinks it's not cake, it's cake. Yeah, it's dessert.

[Giannis Papas]

What he knew and Edward Bernays was the one that coined that term, manufactured consent, which basically just means.

[Chris DiStefano]

No, what was. It wasn't manufactured consent, it was consent of the. What was it?

[Giannis Papas]

Manufactured consent, I think or no, no engineering of consent. But I think it was. I think it's if. Can you look it up? Manufactured consent. Maybe I'm wrong. Basically what that means is, hey, you. I am selling you the story, the narrative and then you make the choice and you think you chose it, but I just nudged you into that choice.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right, Right.

[Giannis Papas]

I created the game and you chose what I wanted you to choose.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

So he also was hired by this toothpaste company and he came up with this campaign about smiling.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

And so he's like, you don't want to have an ugly smile. Right. So everyone was brushing their teeth or whatever. But he put shame on people. He, he marketed shame that if your teeth weren't white and clean with this product, you were going to be ashamed.

[Chris DiStefano]

Shamed. And then that's.

[Giannis Papas]

Sales went through the roof.

[Chris DiStefano]

That's why you have fluoride in the water right now. That's why if you, especially in New York and there's, there's Florida in on if that's true. No, that he, he, he's huge. Google, Google Edward Bernays and Floyd and even furthermore, with the smile.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

Before pictures, before Bernays got involved, you didn't smile in pictures. If you look at Pictures in the 1800s, early 1900s, nobody's smiling. It wasn't a thing. He made smiling a thing.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, well, I think also because they lived in the past.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

So it's not fun Right. It's not fun when you got fumed.

[Chris DiStefano]

So yeah. So fluoride. So Bernays was hired to solve this problem in the 1930s and 40s, the aluminum industry.

[Giannis Papas]

Wow, I didn't know this.

[Chris DiStefano]

If you're listening, in England the aluminum, what is that?

[Giannis Papas]

Aluminum.

[Chris DiStefano]

We say aluminum but what do they say? Aluminium.

[Giannis Papas]

Why not? Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

Industry grew. So fluoride waste was a problem. So all these lawsuits, you know, how do you properly dispose of the fluoride? Blah blah blah. Bernays comes in and uses the psychoanalytic techniques that he learned from Freud that he's the master of PR here. So he says to you know. Cause Sigmund Freud knew you gotta bypass rational thought and influence and then you gotta tap into the public subconscious desires. It's all about. It's all about deep in the subconscious the herd. He knew that. So Bernays understood that the public is gonna accept new ideas especially when endorsed by figures of authority. So he worked with the U.S. public Health Service and leveraged the American Dental association to promote the idea that water fluoridation was safe and beneficial for dental health. But we don't know that it was.

[Giannis Papas]

Holy fuck. I didn't know that.

[Chris DiStefano]

There it is cuz Bernays is still inside you.

[Giannis Papas]

Holy shit. But is there science that says that it is good for.

[Chris DiStefano]

So here, scroll down a little bit. At this time floor. At the time that he did this, fluoride was known as the active ingredient in rat poison. Only Mother of Cheese campaign successfully rebranded it as a key ingredient for gleaming healthy teeth and a beautiful smile. The campaign strategically suppressed information about fluoride's toxicity and other potential side effects and instead focus on the positive emotional appeal of a perfect smile. Which is a common psychological marketing technique Bernays mastered. So fluoride at very very low levels is safe which is what we have it at. Whatever it is, 0.007, you know, decidix, whatever the hell they measure it in. So it's safe. But fluoride in and of itself was just known as rat poison. You know to the people in the.

[Giannis Papas]

1920S and they had a waste problem so they decided to put it in the water.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's what it is. And then I'm going to tell you right after this how he killed about 3 million women right after this. Right after this ad from Lucy Nicotine Way Song Chien. Yeah. All right, so quick message from today's sponsor, the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program. Yanni's going to tell you all about it because he loves pets and he loves health.

That's what I. That's.

[Chris DiStefano]

I don't want. If Anne. Eileen's listening right now. She needs to shut it off. She needs to shut it off. Because he got women to smoke big Lucky Strikes. Lucky Strikes cigarettes. So if you know about Lucky Strike cigarettes, cuz, tell him what happened. Wow.

[Giannis Papas]

So Lucky Strike approached him and he goes, hey, we got to get women smoking. And he goes, okay, what are you going to pay me? Me?

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

And he got a nice fat check. And he said what we're going to do. I think the color of the box was green.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yes.

[Giannis Papas]

Green was not fashionable. So what he did was he paid all these models and influencers to start wearing green. Yeah. So there was advertisements with women in green. So green became fashionable. So the box became fashionable. And then he paid a bunch of these chicks to walk around and smoke at beauty pageants.

[Chris DiStefano]

So that. And then there were. There's a huge parade that would always get a lot of press. The Easter parade in New York City, which I don't think they do anymore. Right. Or if they do, it's not as big. If you go back, Jesse, to the. To where the. Yeah. So what he did was this. This huge Easter parade that they have 19. It was 1929. He hired, as you said, the young, fashionable, basically hot sex symbol women.

[Giannis Papas]

They were basically the influencers of their day.

[Chris DiStefano]

And what he did was, though he knew they were going to all these pictures. He. They. He had them hide the cigarettes. So it wasn't like, oh, look at us taking the cigarettes out now. They were casually smoking cigarettes, and then the photographers were taking pictures of all these women with cigarettes. But it was subconscious marketing. There was no ad for Lucky Strikes.

[Giannis Papas]

Right. It's like freedom rebellion against the male patriarchy.

[Chris DiStefano]

Exactly. And the real reason, what he did is he spoke to a psychologist. He didn't speak to Sigmund Freud, he spoke to another psychologist, a very prominent psychologist, said the reason why what a cigarette really is, is it's a penis. That's what it kind of looks like. That's what it symbolizes. The penis symbolizes power. So he says, so you want to.

[Giannis Papas]

Give women penises and put them in their mouth and put.

[Chris DiStefano]

The way you give women penises is you give them cigarettes.

[Giannis Papas]

Y.

[Chris DiStefano]

You just give. You could do it in a different way.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

Now you could just cut off a piece of your ass and you can make yourself a penis. Yeah. And then I like.

[Giannis Papas]

You can cut yours off and hand it to them.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah. Now, Edward Bernays would have to have a different marketing technique because if you want to give women penises, you don't need to do it with cigarettes.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Because his uncle thought that women all had penis envy and they all secretly unconsciously wanted penis.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah. I mean, there's just. There's just a teacher in my daughter's school is just. He's just a woman with a penis. And then my daughter came home and said, what?

[Giannis Papas]

What?

[Chris DiStefano]

You know, like, that's okay, right? I said, yeah, just look at your uncle.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Well, that was.

[Chris DiStefano]

And then I just showed her a video of Maurice. That's it. I said, that's daddy's work friend.

[Giannis Papas]

Look at him.

[Chris DiStefano]

That's a woman with the penis. Everybody's okay, honey.

[Giannis Papas]

Everyone's okay.

[Chris DiStefano]

And he said, okay.

[Giannis Papas]

And they just put on Bob Dylan. You said, the times, they are changing.

[Chris DiStefano]

What it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Because listen, that was some of the stuff that Sigmund Freud wasn't exactly correct about. That's why you did a little too much blow, I don't think. I think the unconscious drives of sex, Oedipal, complex, things like that, all those things, the unconscious drive, shame, all that stuff. Sex, blah, blah, blah, aggression, latent aggression. All those things were true. The id, the super ego, the ego, all that stuff is more true. But the whole penis envy thing, I think, is really. When he. He went off the reservation a little bit because, I mean, all you got to do is look at Elliot Page.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. She wanted the opposite. She want to get rid of the penis.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right. It's what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Angel. Buck angel, you know?

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

He, he, he. He does not. Well, that's the opposite.

[Chris DiStefano]

Buck angel is. Is Buck Guy with a puss.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. He was a puss. And he wanted to be a guy.

[Chris DiStefano]

No, but Buck angel was born a woman and became a guy. But he kept his puss.

[Giannis Papas]

Kept his puss. But yeah, if he wants to be a guy, he'd want the pain.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So basically if you bang, you could bang out Buck angel and you're not gay. Yeah, because he's got a full puss.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah but that's the confusing thing because.

[Chris DiStefano]

No it's if you got a puss.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, that's the way I see. Because when I look at Buck angel there is zero attraction. When I look at karma Cor Karma Carrera. I want to clean.

[Chris DiStefano]

If you have sex with that guy, you are not gay, my friend. Cuz he has ape.

[Giannis Papas]

Cuz if I saw that guy walking down the street the last thing I would think is I want to bang that out.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, it's what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah but he certainly has a puss.

[Chris DiStefano]

He's got a puss. And Aaron Berg's going to play him in the movie.

[Giannis Papas]

It's crazy. But you know that's the thing with trans. It's like if I'm banging. If I'm banging her or I'm begging him and I'm like I would have to keep.

[Chris DiStefano]

Look at him getting his snatch eaten down. Scroll down a little bit.

[Giannis Papas]

I was banging. Have to keep repeating to myself while I was banging him he's got a puss. He's got a puss. This is a gay. This is a gay.

[Chris DiStefano]

Now cuz look at this. See that photo down there? Right to the left, the guy eating him out. If you are able.

[Giannis Papas]

Oh that's. That's mind blowing.

[Chris DiStefano]

Cuz if you could, if that was one of those like moving images you could see if when that guy turns to the left you'll see someone you recognize and it's me lad 14. Because what would you do if you saw it and turned around? It was just crazy. I mean now here's the thing cuz, here's the thing. Okay. I think that you know with, with this going back to the Edward Bernays smoke, the smoking, the torches of freedom. What it was too is you know back then they didn't really know the implications of smoking. I mean we. I remember being a kid in the 80s and early 90s where they were still promoting cigarettes.

[Giannis Papas]

Well doctors actually smoked back then. A lot of people did smoke. Smoking became a thing. It was addict, it was cool. There were campaigns about smoking, there was advertising about smoking. But what he did is he went and seduced a whole bunch of doctors. He didn't even really pay him off. He'd give him free cartons and say hey will you just sign off and say that smoking relieves stress and Those doctors, like, yeah, that's when I smoke, I relieve stress. So he just got a lot of doctors and then he went boom. He said $2,000. 2,000 or 20,000 doctors from this organization agree it relieves stress. And people like, all right, so it's basically fake science, fake news.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yes. What it is.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm just joking. I don't know that for a fact.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yes. And we're telling that directly to the algorithm. He, he, you know, later on in life did regret because he. I think they. One study said that this campaign alone probably killed something like 3 million women.

[Giannis Papas]

It's what it is. It's what it is. I like to say it like this. That's what it is. Yeah, it's what it is. I mean Hitler got 6 million, he got 3.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

So it's what it is. German efficiency wins.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Ladder 14.

[Chris DiStefano]

So, yeah, it's just, you know, this whole idea of women having their own penises via cigarettes and that torches of freedom, women's suffrage, all that stuff. They capitalize. So it's just kind of, you know, we're still getting manipulated by him to this day by the fluoride, you know, athletes and entertainers and all that stuff promoting products. How you'll see like LeBron James or Tom Brady in every commercial. Now that's also Edward Bernays. Did you know that?

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, well, because his whole thing was like, you don't sell the product, you sell a story. You sell narrative based on these unconscious.

[Chris DiStefano]

Urges, which subconscious urge every PR person does. We all kind of know that now. But the key is he was the first one to do it. Before Bernays. If there was no Edward Bernays, public relations wouldn't be what they, how they are today. Like how. Because basically what happens is, is before this, in the night, all of American time, the 1918s, 1900s, you were just promoted. Products were promoted because of necessity. You needed a car to get from point A to point B. You needed a coach to survive the winter. You needed food. You did. It wasn't wanting nothing was about wants. It was just what are my basic needs?

[Giannis Papas]

Right.

[Chris DiStefano]

Then he changed, changed it from needs to wants. And that's big. Yeah, that's the major thing. Because now the whole idea of a department store, this whole idea of mass producing clothes and shoes and manufacturers in general, Edward Bernays, he was the one that said, if we're going to have all this items and we need a department store, I need to be able to corral the people into it like literal cows. To their slaughter. He was like, I need to corral them into a place. So that's when they invented Macy's. Yeah, and it's just what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

The kid was raised as a secular Jew, so he wasn't very religious.

[Chris DiStefano]

That mean a secular Jew Jew?

[Giannis Papas]

Secular Jew means somebody who will bang a goyim.

[Chris DiStefano]

So goyim's a like a dirty non Jew? Yeah, like I'm a goy. You're a. I'm a dirty goy.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, you're a goy.

[Chris DiStefano]

I'm a goy.

[Giannis Papas]

You're a goy boy.

[Chris DiStefano]

I'm a goy boy. So Jesse's a secular Jill.

[Giannis Papas]

Jesse's a goy big.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

He's only half too. And he's a fucking goy big.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

I mean the kid will eat bacon. The kid will fucking. He touched light switches all the time.

[Chris DiStefano]

Because I'm a non Jew who likes Puerto Ricans. I'm a goy for goya Jew predator. I'm a goy for goy, Right. Or am I just a goya cuz.

[Giannis Papas]

When a Jew looks at you, he sees a Komodo dragon.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

You're a Jew predator cuz your face says get ends easy bake.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah. I would like to just punch him in the face and not to kill my aunt Eileen just because of some other thing.

[Giannis Papas]

I was about to say is his religion, if there was, if there was such a thing. The closest religion he had was capitalism.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

He was a zealot for capitalism. He believed in it. So he didn't think anything he was doing was wrong. And you can make an argument like was it, I mean, people. What he would say is people are going to be led one way or the other.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yes.

[Giannis Papas]

Whether it's going to be bacon for breakfast or pancake. It's like what he was basically saying is people aren't rational, they're not reasonable, they want to feel right. Right. So that which is true, he basically started from, hey, you need this to wash your clothes to. Do you want to be fucking cool? Yeah, fucking cool. You want to be like Mike? Do you want to be like Mike? Mike that was Edward Bernays.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yes.

[Giannis Papas]

And you go, yeah, yeah, I want to be like Mike. Do you want to fucking be like LeBron James? Well then drink the drink that he fake drinks in the commercial because his nutritionist would never allow him to fucking touch a Sprite. No. But he got paid a couple million dollars to subconsciously invade your brain and have you affiliate with the fucking One of the most elite athletes created by the Chinese government who is sustained by fucking. The cutting edge of media, social science and the shittiest drink that causes cancer will make you fat. They'll put those two things together and you'll just go, I want to be like LeBron. And you'll drink a Sprite.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, you'll just drink a Sprite.

[Giannis Papas]

Just lie to you. And we eat it up.

[Chris DiStefano]

Well, also what I think too is.

[Giannis Papas]

Because this and that hairline is fake.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah. This is all created by the Chinese. Is that because Sprite has that, you know, yellow six stuff in it, Whatever.

[Giannis Papas]

And I just drank a zit.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's just what it is. You're on. Well, they probably do this. They use somebody like Lebron, the Chinese marketing cuz they know that a lot of people will buy sprites just because LeBron's holding it. And they'll kill the sperm and they'll decrease our population that way. That's what they're doing.

[Giannis Papas]

That's what they're doing. What the Chinese have done is they've used a variation of Bernays in a way. Right. So what the Chinese have done is they invented TikTok. ByteDance is a Chinese company that invented TikTok. And what made their algorithm revolution was it was all about, you know, using those subconscious kind of urges, sex, you know, shame, sensational fucking narratives to get you hooked and keep you speedy and scrolling and scrolling and hooked you on dopamine using sexy girl dancing.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah. Anytime. Anytime you see a TikTok dance go viral. That's the seeds of that are in Edward Bernays. There's a Chinese Edward Bernays out there.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. I mean, let's be honest. Charlie d'. Amelio. Is that her name?

[Chris DiStefano]

Sure.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Charlie d'. Amelio. The girls want to look like that and the boys want to go, oh my God, how old is she? What is she? Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Yeah, she's fertile. Yes, she's fertile.

[Chris DiStefano]

Fertile murder.

[Giannis Papas]

So when the guys look at that, they just see fertility.

[Chris DiStefano]

That's all they.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, it's a deep, deep rooted thing.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's just they want to have sex with it and then you're glued to.

[Giannis Papas]

That and then so the algorithm goes, gotcha. And then you scroll again. There's another one, there's another one. Was the other one called the Milio, whatever her name?

[Chris DiStefano]

Addison Ray.

[Giannis Papas]

Addison Ray's on there. And then the next thing you know, it's all these white girls going dancing to hip hop. You know they're dancing to all drill rap with. And then they go on the N word, they go. And then the N word comes up in the song and they go yeah. And then next thing you know your brain is mush. You're addicted and you're confused.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's the only thing to do is for us to take our wives and our daughters to China. Should we just move to China? China? Is that the only way to stay safe?

[Giannis Papas]

I'm not ready to accept defeat yet.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, yeah, can't do it.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm going to go to Taiwan and I'm going to fight with them. Now when the Chinese attack, I'm just joining the Taiwanese. Just like the North Koreans are fucking in Ukraine. Yeah, I'm going to Taiwan, I'm going to fight with my. I like to call those the good Chinese.

[Chris DiStefano]

The good Chinese. Now right after this break we're going to tell you how Edward Bernays took down a bunch of fruits Trip planner by Expedia. You were made to outdo your holiday, your hammocking and your pooling. We were made to help organize the competition. Expedia made to travel cuz. So do you know about the United Fruit Company which me and you are proud members of?

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Now this is where you really see.

[Chris DiStefano]

This is where he really. The horns come out. I just meant because he's not. I just meant he's a little devilish. Yeah, right, Come out.

[Giannis Papas]

This is where the 14, this is.

[Chris DiStefano]

Where the horns come out. When Edward Bernays he worked with the United Fruit Company.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. And the CIA. Yeah, yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

Now it's better known as the United.

[Giannis Papas]

Home because he was making like 1500 a day in, in that money back then.

[Chris DiStefano]

So you're talking about CIA.

[Giannis Papas]

CIA was, he was on the payroll with the CIA.

[Chris DiStefano]

Big daily, daily big money.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

So the United Fruit Company, 1950s Edward Bernays is working with them to orchestrate a public relations campaign, AKA a propaganda campaign. From now on in your life, every time you see words PR public relations, just know that it's propaganda. They just changed the word because propaganda has a negative connotation. But it is absolutely propaganda. Just like a muffin is cake and it will raise your LDLs. So would lead to they. So Edward Bernays worked United Fruit Company 1950s to orchestrate a public relations campaign that would lead to the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'. Etat. Are you Guatemalan? No, Uruguay. Okay, yeah, sorry.

[Giannis Papas]

No, it's okay.

[Chris DiStefano]

I thought it was. Sorry. Uruguay is one we can't talk crap about.

[Giannis Papas]

No Uruguay. Why?

[Chris DiStefano]

Because he's upset. We said don't talk about Uruguay. That's where he's from.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, but does he look like a kid who is nationalistic Uruguayan? No, he looks like the kid that would get the most upset if we said something bad about Tennessee Williams.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah, it's, yeah. Okay, so the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'. Etat.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

The company which had a huge economic presence in Central America, United Fruit Company was threatened, threatened by the democratically elected government of President Jacob Arbenz, who had initiated an agrarian reform program to redistribute uncultivated land, including a large portion owned by United Fruit to landless peasants. He basically wanted to just give the land, he wanted to give the land back to the people a little bit.

[Giannis Papas]

It was, you know, he was going, hey, you got, your company is in.

[Chris DiStefano]

Here and you're, he's like, I don't want you guys to have to just cut clips and do Shakespeare. I want you to live off the land.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. He's basically going, you're raping our resources. You know, this is what made communism so popular. Going, hey, these peasants are living in poverty. You're just taking all the resources from here.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Selling them. And you're going, yeah, that's what Western imperialism does.

[Chris DiStefano]

So you say, because you're listening to that, you're saying, okay, that's a good thing President Jacobo Arbenz is doing. He's trying to make, trying to help his people. He's just good guys, trying to make Guatemala great again. We support that.

[Giannis Papas]

And then basically he was trying to, he was trying to do like a Guatemala first. Yes, it's basically, I respect that, I vote for that. Yeah, it was a, yeah, it was Guatemala. It was a Maga Gaga make.

[Chris DiStefano]

No, it was a juja make Guatemala great again. But anyway, so Edward Bernays, right. Edward Bernays campaign instead aimed to frame Arbenz as a communist puppet of the Soviet Union playing on Cold war fears in the US and he employed his, he went back into his best bag of horn tricks and he organized fact finding trips to Guatemala for influential journalists and members of Congress carefully controlling their itineraries to present a distorted anti Arbanez view of the country. So he basically had paid actors out there saying, we don't like him, Arbenz, he's bad, he's communist, blah blah, blah. Then he disseminated press releases and planted stories in major newspapers and magazines that painted the United Fruit as a victim of communist communism and a champion against it. Then he created a front organization called The Middle America Information Bureau to distribute propaganda and influence public opinion. The campaign successfully convinced American policymakers and the public that the democratically elected government of Guatemala was a threat to US national security. We've heard that a million times. Bernays efforts helped create the political climate and public support necessary for the CIA to carry out a coup codenamed Operation PBS Success, which overthrew Arbenz and installed a military dictatorship. And Edward Bernays just sat down and had a little lox.

[Giannis Papas]

Ladder 14, a little celebratory schmear.

[Chris DiStefano]

He had a little lox and cream cheese on a bagel. Yeah, that guy did an interview with David Letterman. And that's just what I call an evil guy.

[Giannis Papas]

That's just how the cookie crumbled. It's just what it is what he did.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's what he did. He caused a coup to get, get.

[Giannis Papas]

He advised on a coup.

[Chris DiStefano]

He advised on a coup on how to do it. And he destabilized Central America, which by the way, a lot of countries, you know, United States, that's what they do. Yeah, that's what we do. So we're just a part of that. But just know that, I mean this to me is the worst one. I mean he really, he destroyed Guatemala.

[Giannis Papas]

He, he didn't help it.

[Chris DiStefano]

He didn't help it.

[Giannis Papas]

He didn't go down there and extend a hand. And similarly at the World Fair, he.

[Chris DiStefano]

Had a cinnamon raisin bagel and a little man at Chevitz and he just sat down. Down with his horn.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. And then he convinced all South America during the World's Fair that hey, we're not so bad. He started pushing the culture in South America and Americanized them and said, hey, let's just do commerce. Do commerce. Which in his mind was the right thing. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I don't know. Maybe business is good. I mean, listen, one of the most ironic things. Now this, don't take this any which way. I'm just going to state the facts, okay? This is just the facts. Tell me one of the most ironic.

[Chris DiStefano]

Things you're about to give us a truth bader Ginsburg.

[Giannis Papas]

The truth bader Ginsburg. Is what I'm about to say one of the most ironic things. Right. Most people who are communist or you know, just like socialist, whatever that means. Right. We could talk about that, but always go, oh, these economies didn't work because of capitalist embargoes, because of, you know, capitalist exploitation, blah, blah, Maybe that's true. I'll, I'll extend that off the branch. But one thing is for certain, when it comes to communist countries that became powerhouses, the mechanism by which they became a powerhouse was capitalist tools, right? You look at Vietnam, right? Poor country, right? Then they had economic reforms, they allowed private markets. A hybrid with the communist oversight, whatever. So what, you get your hood cut off but you, you can still make, make money, right? You look at China. So one of the most ironic things that I guess Marx didn't foresee that it seems if you look at real world data, the only thing that works as a propeller for communism is a capitalist market, which, which is very ironic.

[Chris DiStefano]

Which is China is not going to be as powerful as they are right now without low capital.

[Giannis Papas]

I mean, what was it, 30, 40 years? They're a world power now because of capitalist reforms. Look at Vietnam is a perfect example because it was the most recent. I mean Vietnam was just like no education. Like if you look at the stats, it's gone from like 7% of the population to like 80% of the population is educated. They've been lifted out of poverty. These are just facts, right? Do with them what you will, you know, those are just facts. It's just ironic that capitalism is the only thing that works, right. Communists.

[Chris DiStefano]

But still, Edward Bernays was kind of a douchebag for doing this United Fruit Company thing to equity. I'm to what country? Guatemala.

[Giannis Papas]

He was, he was definitely at the very least a mixed bag. Yeah, yeah, I mean he was definitely a mixed bag. And you know, because like you said at the time, how aware were they that cigarettes.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

Killed like they did? They were aware as much. I mean, sure, the coughing probably tipped them off, right? Wasn't great.

[Chris DiStefano]

Well, the tortures of women thing, I get that. The tortures of women thing, I could see how. And later on life he did say, I feel bad about, about that one but I mean he knew what he was doing in Guatemala.

[Giannis Papas]

He knew what he was doing, but he thought it was the right thing. He thought communism was an evil, right. So he thought he was doing the right thing, right. Was it the right thing? Probably not, right? I don't know.

[Chris DiStefano]

Well, he took the land. I mean the people who were so already dirt poor could have just made a little money off the land.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, it's just the thing about communism is you just go, have you met people?

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

It's one of those things where you go like this is a great idea idea, right? Like a perfect circle, right? But once you impregnate it into reality, somebody's got to be in charge, right? And what ends up happening is the government just becomes the one corporation, right, that runs everything and it just turns into a dictator. Well, you look at King Jon Hung, the kid is fine for food. He's got too much. Yeah, he's got fucking Patrick Ewing's haircut.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

He's watching American movies.

[Chris DiStefano]

Oh, 100%.

[Giannis Papas]

I understand the streets are clean and everyone is fucking fine and whatever. But like King John, who is definitely better than the rest of the people.

[Chris DiStefano]

You want to.

[Giannis Papas]

Communism just means you all have the right to be the same amount poor.

[Chris DiStefano]

You're right. Now you, that's what equality means. You want a one world government big. I'm just saying we can look back one.

[Giannis Papas]

We can look back at Edward Bernays and say, wow, what a bad guy. And probably was. I mean his, his daughter wrote a book about him saying he was a control freak and fucking.

[Chris DiStefano]

He was, you know, called everybody stupid all the time.

[Giannis Papas]

He was always performative. His whole life was performance art. He even wrote his eulogies in his, his diary. He lived to 103 by the way.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah. Which you. So the kid was stressed out kid?

[Giannis Papas]

Well, his wife said that his daughter said he's constantly having nightmares about his campaigns going wrong or whatever.

[Chris DiStefano]

But how did he live to 103 with all that stress?

[Giannis Papas]

He said he smoked cigars till he was 95.

[Chris DiStefano]

Interesting.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. I don't know how he lived that, that long, but it seems like demons last forever and the good die young.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's just what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. I mean, was he probably not a great guy? Probably not, right? I mean supposedly I think he was a control freak. I think he, he would go to escorts. The most we know is he would go to escorts. But he claimed he was doing research with them. Yeah, he said he would. He was checking on the stick and.

[Chris DiStefano]

He was just praying with the 12 year old niece who was naked in the bed.

[Giannis Papas]

Right. He, he stayed with his wife, his wife stayed with him. They had a pretty boring life.

[Chris DiStefano]

Well, because he, it's easy to stay with the wife when you get in a little escorts. Maybe that's why you live to 103 kids. Mom. Donnie, bring out the toots.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, yeah. I mean I just got a head rush because like we said, there are two demographics that are going to be going big for Mom D. And that's young, unemployed, angry kids who feel like Matt Rife is Donald Trump and the other ones are going to be married. Guys, we're looking for a little loophole.

[Chris DiStefano]

I want. So basically we want to ask you.

[Giannis Papas]

What group of people want to, they want to, they want to rebel against the podcast bros. Yeah, that's become the new pejorative. The podcast bros. Edward Bernays.

[Chris DiStefano]

Okay, Villain, hero, yo, no, say you got to tell us in the comments, ok? Just know that you're eating bacon, smoking cigarettes, going to Guatemala. It's all because of Edward Bernays.

[Giannis Papas]

Just know that that engineered consent, manufactured consent, what you want to call it is how capitalism runs.

[Chris DiStefano]

Say that to a girl you're trying to have sex with tonight. Yeah, say I'd like to engineer some consent.

[Giannis Papas]

Well, yeah, we all have these cognitive biases and the more you're aware of them, the more you can protect your own individualism and your own soul. Because it's out there, right? A lot of times it's not even that evil. It's just, hey, sometimes the product is good and it just needs a little narrative to sell it. I mean, but Edward Bernays really is the father of advertising. He's the father of marketing. We are really not the United States of America. We are the United States of advertising. We run on that.

[Chris DiStefano]

We're the United States of Edward Bernays.

[Giannis Papas]

We're the United States of Edward Bernays. Like Jesse, you. Edward Bernays is a big figure in advertising, isn't he? He is, yeah. I mean, like you said, a lot of his ideas permeated, but when we, when I got into it, it was more about parody.

[Chris DiStefano]

A lot of the products were parody products. Right?

[Giannis Papas]

Like sneakers are all basically the same, just different logos. So it was about branding, right? We're building brands. Well, what is that brand?

[Chris DiStefano]

Because of building a lifestyle, selling the lifestyle. You're not buying. You're not buying the sneakers, the Jordans, because they're more comfortable or do anything different than, you know, a bullshit pair of Rockports. It's Jordans are cool, Rockports are not. And that's Bernays did that. Bernays is the one that said make it cool. Right? That's what it is. You're buying cool and livestock style. You're not because you're buying the want, not the need. That's the fundamental thing that Bernays changed. Before it, there would have been no Jordan sneakers because all the shoes are just for need. So that all the shoes look the same, feel the same.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

But he's buying the want. Yeah, he made it a want, which is a smart thing. Yeah, I mean that's what we're saying here. That's why we're telling you. Go to patreon.com history it's because you want to be free.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

Actually you need to be free. Well, patreon.com is, should be an American institution.

[Giannis Papas]

Well, no, the thing is, is, you know, I think people are tired, dude. Yes. I think people are exhausted. I really do think that they're tired.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

I think people just have fatigue. I think they have some sort of insight into being manipulated not just by mass media, not just by mainstream media, but now by people on the Internet. And they're just tired of feeling the strings, you know.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

And it just, it feels good to be selling a product that we're not selling.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

Just come over here and have that inner child, the one that Edward Bernays knew we all had and he manipulated. We want to get in touch with that thing and just give you a little tickle tickle. We want to play coochie coo with you.

[Chris DiStefano]

That's what we want to do.

[Giannis Papas]

All we're here is to have a good time and to feel free. You're in your car right now, you're at the gym or you're sitting in your bed, you got your cock in your hand and you're watching us on a screen.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

[Chris DiStefano]

Yes.

Pull down your, your ice mask and take out your dick and your and say I'm a cute kid and have a good time with us for an hour and then come over to patreon.com history h where we will give you the secret to the thetans who are controlling our mind because we live in a prison planet.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's what it is and that's the.

[Giannis Papas]

Highest level of our cult.

[Chris DiStefano]

And that's all truth. Bader Ginsburg and the newest members of the Patreon who joined joined over the last couple of weeks who make a funny name. We read them out loud and then we pick a winner.

Then we got Yamzors, Zach Hufstal, Butler Hassalli, Geef, Ryan Sinclair, Cesar Ramos, Carolyn Sue. Then we got Mamdani, I got elected and now my halali is tickling. What's a halali?

[Giannis Papas]

Well, because one of the videos, one of his campaign promises is to make the halal cheaper. Oh yeah, I think it's very funny. Which you know, because like, you know, he made a whole video about he's like the halal's gotten too expensive. The funny thing is I don't think anyone knew what the price for halal is. Yeah, because when you're ordering halal, you are so wasted, right? You are so drunk you just hand a $20 bill. I mean anytime I've gotten halal, I don't know whether it was $16 or 8. All I know is I want to pee on the side of the cart. Just give me the slop. I mean there was nobody drunk online prices are too high.

[Chris DiStefano]

I've never met anyone who's bought halal in the daylight.

[Giannis Papas]

Cuz there's nobody who's sober who's getting halal. Cuz you're overlooking the fact that the guy's peeing inside the car.

[Chris DiStefano]

[Giannis Papas]

I know.

[Chris DiStefano]

We can't keep encouraging it.

[Giannis Papas]

We do like a $25 just because they're horrible. But the creativity.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right is. We could. Let's consider it.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

If it will do it, we'll do it at 25 level.

Moose up. And then last but not least, Ernest Hemingway's flying Ernest Heming monster monkeys. I don't know.

[Giannis Papas]

Don't even get that.

[Chris DiStefano]

I don't get it. But not the strongest list today.

[Giannis Papas]

Well.

[Chris DiStefano]

But we still.

[Giannis Papas]

We say that a lot. But let's.

[Chris DiStefano]

Let's read it back. Okay. Sandusky Tickle Monsters.

[Giannis Papas]

That's a goodie.

[Chris DiStefano]

Filibuster till Trump fills my butt, Sir. Donnie, please press my coke button.

[Giannis Papas]

Very good.

[Chris DiStefano]

Wei Shang Zin under my foreskin now my squeak peen is hard from nicotine. Biggest it's ever been.

[Giannis Papas]

Really good.

[Chris DiStefano]

Sauce monkey with Alfredo in his Google glue gun. Hunter Biden's camera lens that adds 10 pounds in a crack pipe.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm telling. Why'd you say it wasn't a good one?

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah. You think it's a good one? Okay.

[Giannis Papas]

I don't think we've ever had a bad.

[Chris DiStefano]

So, what do we got?

[Giannis Papas]

Okay. Let's start with the first one.

[Chris DiStefano]

Sandusky Tickle Monsters. No. Jesse doesn't like it.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm looking at Nick too. Nothing.

[Chris DiStefano]

What do you think?

[Giannis Papas]

Do you know who Sandusky is?

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

He touched a bunch of kids.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah. Right?

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. We're gonna. We're gonna.

[Chris DiStefano]

All right. All right. Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

It's not okay.

[Chris DiStefano]

Filibuster till Trump fills my butt, Sir. Donnie, please press my car coke button.

[Giannis Papas]

That's the definition of an honorary mention.

[Chris DiStefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Really good. Drexler. Drexler. Both of those. Any other day. Guys. I'm sorry.

[Chris DiStefano]

Way Sean Zinn under my foreskin now my squeak pen is hard from nicotine. Biggest it's ever been.

[Giannis Papas]

See, that one is so interesting because I thought he should have stopped.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right?

[Giannis Papas]

But then it still was good.

[Chris DiStefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

So we're keeping him around.

[Chris DiStefano]

Okay.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris DiStefano]

So he's being kept. Sauce monkey with alfalfa.

[Giannis Papas]

It's not.

[Chris DiStefano]

As in.

[Giannis Papas]

It's a Lucy.

[Chris DiStefano]

It's a Lucy, right? Sauce monkey with Alfredo in his glue gun.

[Giannis Papas]

We're keeping that around.

[Chris DiStefano]

Okay, Chick.

[Giannis Papas]

It's a good chicken finger.

[Chris DiStefano]

And then Hunter Biden's camera lens that adds 10 pounds and a crack pipe.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, we're keeping that around. We got a 3 off.

[Chris DiStefano]

So Hunter Biden's camera lens that adds 10 pounds in a crack pipe. Sauce monkey with Alfredo in his glue gun. Or Weishan Zinn under my foreskin. Now my squeak peen is hard for nicotine. Biggest it's ever been.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm going to. I'm going to just take the cards here.

[Chris DiStefano]

Okay.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm going to take the cards here and we're going to do a little slam dunk contest. We're going to do a little gymnastics judging.

[Chris DiStefano]

Okay.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm going straight. I'm making executive decision. We're going with Hunter Biden.

[Chris DiStefano]

Okay.

[Giannis Papas]

That's the best one.

[Chris DiStefano]

That's. That's the word, Nick. Everyone agrees.

[Giannis Papas]

I knew it too.
