Chris DiStefano
We're joking. We just want. We have a live camera on your PR person just because of how off the rail this episode's going to go.
Matt Rife
Yeah. First guest for this. First guest, first irresponsible and a lot of pressure. Okay.
Chris DiStefano
But you know what, dude? We want it because, you know, we love you. So we said, why not have Matty on? Because we normally we talk about history, we talk about all types of crazy stuff, but we figured we could just come in and kind of have an easy 45 minutes with you, because we'll just look at you and start the timer.
Matt Rife
Yes, Perfect.
Chris DiStefano
That's what it is. The whole episode will be. By the way, let me tell you something. A lot of people. Okay. Don't know you for as long as we've known you.
Giannis Papas
You know, I've just. The first time I meet him, we've never met in person.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. I DM'd him once, and we had a nice little exchange, but I've never actually met him in person. Wow.
Chris DiStefano
You never met.
Giannis Papas
We're different generations.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
I mean, I'm 69 years old.
Matt Rife

Giannis Papas
Yeah. I'm an old kid. Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Oh, yeah.
Giannis Papas

Matt Rife
How old are you actually?
Giannis Papas

Matt Rife
My mom's 49. Wow.
Chris DiStefano
Single. This could be your mom, dude.
Giannis Papas
I could put. I could put the wig on and be his other mom.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. Matt, you're tired. You only have an hour's sleep. What were you doing last?
Giannis Papas
Thanks for squeezing us in because you're doing a Drew Barrymore after this.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, we're. The Drew Barrymore podcast.
Matt Rife
Yeah, they say that's what they tell us.
Chris DiStefano
I can't wait to watch Drew Barrymore fall on the floor today.
Giannis Papas
She's gonna take her socks and shoes off and call the couch.
Matt Rife
Yeah, yeah, I'm. I wanted to. I wanted to. Stop it. I've been owing you a podcast episode. For a long time. So I just couldn't sleep last night. I'm just a bad sleeper. I'm terrible at it.
Chris DiStefano
Why?
Matt Rife
Just anything from anxiety, slightly physically uncomfortable, can't sleep, and brain just never turns off.
Chris DiStefano
And you don't take anything right now you don't take anything?
Matt Rife
I take a ton of meds, but they don't work. Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Really, just sleep through them. I mean, what could we have you tried oregano pills?
Matt Rife
Oregano pills?
Chris DiStefano
Yes.
Giannis Papas
Chris's friend.
Chris DiStefano
I got a friend, Paul Igassi. Shout out Paulie Gassey. He says the cure for everything's oregano pills. During the pandemic, he was saying, you don't need the vaccine, just take these oregano pills. And he would train me while we were boxing. He's a boxing instructor. He would train me while he was eating Toine Alfredo that his mother made who he lived with.
Matt Rife
But oregano pills, cure for Italian.
Chris DiStefano
He's Jack and he's the most ripped guy you've ever seen. He's like, ripped like you. And he just works out. He does. Push up sit ups and oregano pills.
Giannis Papas
Give it a try. I mean, if everything else isn't working, just try it.
Matt Rife
Push up sit ups and oregano pills. I'm not going to a prison pharmacy. Dude.
Giannis Papas
Dude.
Matt Rife
Any sense of.
Chris DiStefano
I'm telling you, dude, Paul, that fixes his sleep.
Giannis Papas
Listen, placebo effect is huge.
Matt Rife
Yes, I do.
Giannis Papas
So if you believe in that, I mean, you ever notice when they do these trials, like, and they give the placebo pill to, like the placebo group, like 80% of them get better. So if you just believe in the oregano pills, hopes and prayers, it may work. Yeah, it's something to it. I've decided to believe in God just for the placebo effect. I'm just going, I believe it and I'm happier.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, it does it. Reality. Perception is reality. And reality is a suggestion as you stay here, so you make your reality wanted.
Matt Rife
Jim Carrey.
Chris DiStefano
Dude, I wish. Yeah, dude, that's. No, I've been hanging out with Yanis. Now here's the thing here.
Giannis Papas
I love that he got all loosey goosey after he made his 80 mil. He's like, you know, it's not worth it.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, yeah.
Giannis Papas
I'd love to see if he had 100,000 in the bank. If he was like, you know what? This is all bullshit.
Chris DiStefano
He was driving a Subaru. That isn't real.
Giannis Papas
It's not real. I'm not real. Nothing's real. Let's meditate.
Chris DiStefano
So what's Very pleasurable. What's very good for you, Matt, is because you could have been born in any era. You could have been born in any era. And we're happy that you were born during this time because we talk a lot about history. No, we talk a lot about history because if you were born, unfortunately, if you were born, say in Alexander the Great's time, you have the same level of the talent that you have and the looks that you have. What Alexander the Great would have done is he would have taken you. What Alexander the Great liked to do and people at that time like to do is like take very handsome boys, very talented boys like you. And I like to cut their nuts off and make them eunuchs. And what you would do is you would be this nutless, beautiful boy who would be in charge of Alexander the Great's harem of like basically his women that he would have. And that would be. So it's very beautiful that you're born now so you can just be talented and free. Because if in history you'd have your nuts clipped and you'd be running a harem.
Matt Rife
So he cuts your nuts off and then makes you in charge of the hot women he gets to have sex with.
Chris DiStefano
Right, Right.
Giannis Papas
Occasionally he would have sex with you as well. I mean, that's the part.
Matt Rife
What did he look like?
Chris DiStefano
Alexander the Great?
Giannis Papas
Supposedly he's a handsome kid.
Chris DiStefano
He was a cute kid.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, suppose a cute kid.
Matt Rife
Do we have monitors?
Chris DiStefano
We don't have any. Well, no, there's no real.
Giannis Papas
I mean, we only know from Plutarch what he looked like. And supposedly he had nice hair. He had like locks. And he was a built kid.
Chris DiStefano
And he was a built kid and he kind of just did whatever. What eunuchs would do back then is because their thought was if we cut your nuts off, then your desire for sex goes away. And. And so we could say. And then here's the thing. And listen, it's not all the way wrong. If you just kind of put yourself there, they would say, we can trust you now to watch the women. You're not gonna wanna have sex with them. You're not gonna wanna take my throne, cuz you're not motivated. And then also just a little plus you don't have nuts. You technically not a guy, but you are beautiful. So I can bang you. And it's not gay.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. Part of it was to just keep the masculine traits from forming. To keep you sort of a pseudo woman. Yeah, yeah. Like a pseudo progressive.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, this is what it is.
Giannis Papas
It was Actually progressive when you think about it.
Matt Rife
You guys know this.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Because we're history cuties.
Matt Rife
But when did you read this specific article?
Giannis Papas
Oh, eunuchs are big in history. The human brain is wild and what people do with power. That Unix was on the table. So eunuchs were for the table. Women, you know, when you go to.
Chris DiStefano
A pizza, explain to him what for the table means and why. Matt Rife is for the table.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, Matt Rife is for the table.
Chris DiStefano
And Kyle, Kyle the clip cowboy over here, he is a eunuch.
Matt Rife
Totally.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He is a unit. He is a unit. But him and I have spoken about that. He's a Southern eunuch. He got his clit. He got his nuts clipped. He's from the deep South. He got his nuts clipped because his dad thought he was a warthog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They. They call him Runner. He was running around the woods and they clipped his nuts. And now he's just. Now he just does the video stuff because he's got, you know. But he's a beautiful man and I have had sex with him.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. So eunuchs were in every civilization. They just. Yeah, they created.
Chris DiStefano
Tell them what for the table is.
Giannis Papas
For the table means a little. A little bit for everybody. Yeah. For the guys, the girls. Yeah. You got. You got your pizza menu, you know, on the one side you got your pizzas, on the other side you got your dishes. You know, so the pizzas were really like the women. You marry the pizza, but then the.
Chris DiStefano
Other side, you got.
Giannis Papas
You got things for the table. Okay, that's for everybody.
Chris DiStefano
For everybody.
Giannis Papas
For the gays, for the straights, for the.
Chris DiStefano
Just.
Giannis Papas
You're for the table.
Chris DiStefano
For every table. You know, like when you order something, you order an appetizer and you say, this is for the table. This. Everyone take a little piece.
Giannis Papas
Everybody gets a little piece.
Chris DiStefano
So you're for the. You're for the ancient times. You would be the definition of a guy. You're for the table. Alexander the Great would say, I love this kid.
Giannis Papas
He's for the table.
Chris DiStefano
Love him. Yeah, well, he's got to be. Is for the table because he's going to make myself and my soldiers happy.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
So we're going to want to. We're going to. We're going to. He's going to make us laugh before battle and then we're going to want. Then we're going to take to win when I have sex with him.
Matt Rife
This is this merch. Have you made this merch?
Chris DiStefano
No, no, but he's fucking screwed in he's screwed in. He's a king Mer Table.
Matt Rife
I would wear this shirt.
Giannis Papas
For the table.
Chris DiStefano
For the table. For the table. Okay. That's where we're going to make merch.
Matt Rife
10% off the top. Fine. Greater purposes.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, whatever. Yeah, sure. We'll give you whatever you want.
Giannis Papas
You don't need to.
Matt Rife
I. I want to get back to this UNIX situation. Like, was it. Was it purely for control and power or was there like a spiritual purpose to it as well? Like they did their.
Giannis Papas
I. I think it depends on who was banging the eunuch. I think Alexander the Great was the type of guy who loved his eunuch.
Matt Rife
Was it purely sexual, the eunuch situation? Like the whole job title of eunuch. Is it purely sexual?
Giannis Papas
They served multifunctions. But a big part of it was. Was.
Chris DiStefano
No, but the biggest, biggest part was to. They were trust. They believe back then, which again, they're not wrong, that they believe that men could not be trusted because of their desire for lust and sex. But the only way you could trust a man is if you clipped his nuts off. And you can obviously never trust a woman. A lot of they thought that.
Matt Rife
Of course.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Can't do that.
Giannis Papas
Smaller brains too.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
But yeah, a lot of that's just a fact. That's just a fact. It's got WNBA sized balls. The smaller 28 point.
Chris DiStefano
Their brains are 28.5 ounces.
Giannis Papas
That's what it is.
Chris DiStefano
Ours are. Ours are bigger. Yeah. Just same size of WNBA ball. Here's the thing.
Matt Rife
A lot.
Giannis Papas
A lot of eunuchs did rise to prominent positions to be like advisors to the emperors and stuff like that in Eastern cultures. Especially Wei Zhong Jing was. He's a famous eunuch. On our podcast. He was like a top advisor to one of the Chinese emperors, weijong.
Chris DiStefano
She. And when anytime we say something out of the box crazy, we have a sound effect that goes wayshaw Jian. And why we started saying that was years ago. We found. Came up with this famous. We found this famous eunuch from China and his name is Wei Shanxian. And so we just use it as a sound effect. It doesn't make any sense.
Giannis Papas
It doesn't.
Chris DiStefano
That's why we do it. I don't know the soundboard.
Giannis Papas
We're in a.
Chris DiStefano
We don't have. This is not our normal studio. This isn't we normal one Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. But we.
Giannis Papas
We weren't gonna ask you to come.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, we figured your PR team was.
Matt Rife
Not gonna respectfully pass.
Giannis Papas
Put that in.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. So. But. So, you know, I What's your favorite part of history?
Matt Rife
Oh, man, I don't know if I have one specific spot.
Giannis Papas
Are you from. You're from Ohio, right?
Matt Rife
I am.
Giannis Papas
I told you, Chad, GBT was correct.
Chris DiStefano
See, because we weren't chat gbt.
Matt Rife
Told you. I'm from Ohio.
Chris DiStefano
We are the chat GBT slots. We used to be the Wikipedia slots. Now we' GPT slots.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Chat GPT.
Matt Rife
Just type stuff into it.
Chris DiStefano
That's all it is.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. Chris didn't believe you were from there.
Chris DiStefano
I didn't believe you were from Ohio. I said, because I didn't know. I did.
Giannis Papas
You did say Beijing. And I said that.
Chris DiStefano
I said Beijing. I didn't know because I said because you've gotten yourself. I said because when I was saying before and again, we're just. You've gotten so huge and. And specifically on Tick Tock, I said, if you get that big and you're controlling that many minds, China may have gotten to you. And if they got to you, I would. I would not be. I would be like, hey, I would be in the same position. But then I said, you can't trust anything. Chachi beat saying. Because at this point, Chachi Beatty, which is also owned by the Chinese, we were thinking they could be telling us anything, and I don't know what to believe.
Matt Rife
But you're also Chinese.
Chris DiStefano
You're. I mean, what is in Chinese these days? Yeah, it's all Chinese. Right.
Giannis Papas
Cash offers. Okay.
Matt Rife
Who would you. Who would you rather join? China or the Illuminati?
Chris DiStefano
China or the Illuminati?
Giannis Papas
Who's got better amenities?
Chris DiStefano
I would say China, because I want to get. I want to get my feet bound.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
I want somebody to tie up my feet, I think. Yeah. It's funny to just look over. I. I've been glancing over a little bit at your PR lady, and she just has her head down.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
So it's what it is. So this episode will probably be all heard@patreon.com history hyenas because we're going to get a season desist from Matt Wright.
Matt Rife
This is great.
Giannis Papas
I'm going Chinese.
Chris DiStefano
Chinese.
Giannis Papas
I'm going Chinese. For the future. No, for the future.
Chris DiStefano
Right? Yeah.
Giannis Papas
They're taking over. I want to be on a winning team. It's like asking an athlete if he wants to go to a contender. I'm going to a contender.
Chris DiStefano
I want to win a champion. It also would be nice to be on the right side of a virus for once.
Giannis Papas
That would be nice. That would be nice to send it out.
Chris DiStefano
Not receiving it. Yeah, we're not receiving.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, yeah, that'd be good. It'd be good to be a top in that situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris DiStefano
What about you? Would you go Illuminati or Chinese?
Giannis Papas
Oh, first of all, are they going to let you out of the Illuminati?
Matt Rife
I would love to be.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Matt Rife
If anybody. If anybody's offering, if anybody's listening to this right now, I would love to be. You know, I posted. This is how insane people are. I posted a photo from a photo shoot with just, like my hand on my face like this.
Chris DiStefano
Sure.
Matt Rife
And the entire Internet was like, oh, that's the official sign of join the Illuminati. He's in. Everybody knows that's the sign. He joined the Illuminati. He's in it for sure. Diddy's been inside of him. He's been inside of Diddy.
Chris DiStefano
Right.
Matt Rife
All of it. Just because I accidentally put my hand on my face for a photo.
Chris DiStefano
I know. It's so funny when the Internet's happening. One of my boys, like, I have a big group chat with all my boys. One of my boys, like, yo, ask Matt Rife how the parties are. I was like, I don't know. I was like, I don't. I genuine. I was like, I can almost confirm that he's never been to a dating party.
Matt Rife
It's awfully upsetting. I've never been invited. They sound like a really good time.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. I was like, that's what I thought, too. I was like, I would have loved to been invited because people are like, oh, would you go to a ditty party knowing everything? It's like, yeah. Hello. What? Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Why. Why would you just leave at a certain hour? You just got to know when to leave.
Matt Rife
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You got to know when to leave.
Matt Rife
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
Actually, we went as. Just posted this. We went as a Diddy party for Halloween in. In Liverpool, and let me tell you, everybody got it.
Giannis Papas
Oh, look at that.
Chris DiStefano
Perfect.
Matt Rife
McQueen went as P. Diddy in this gigantic white coat we carried around. It was like eight tubs of baby oil the entire night.
Chris DiStefano
That's amazing. Did anyone paint blood on their asshole?
Matt Rife
It's so funny you say that. Did I not pitch that?
Chris DiStefano
And Right.
Matt Rife
Nobody else was on board.
Chris DiStefano
They're like, that'll be.
Matt Rife
That'll be the thing.
Chris DiStefano
I'm not show more. We have fun in here.
Matt Rife
Yeah, I love it.
Giannis Papas
That would. That would be the. The icing on.
Matt Rife
That being said, I think I would go. I would go Illuminati just for. I think that has more benefits Yeah. I mean, if you want to go to, like, games, if you want to attend concerts, they're like the live nation. I probably shouldn't say that. I work with live nations. Yeah, but.
Chris DiStefano
But I mean, they know. They know. They're. They're eating baby heads right now. They know.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. You definitely get the entertainment. Perks are probably better. Yeah, the entertainment.
Matt Rife
You're going to have more fun. The parties have got to be better.
Giannis Papas
But what happens when China buys the Illuminati? That's when I'm going to be in a position of right of privilege.
Matt Rife
The Illuminati.
Giannis Papas
The Illuminati. Keeping it a clip.
Matt Rife
Canceled.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. I mean, you're too big to get canceled now. That's. That's what's good part. That's what's good about all our.
Giannis Papas
It's not a big deal. Look, when they speak in a second language, they do struggle with the L. Oh, of course. Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
They struggle with the L. It's a good point.
Giannis Papas
It's certain language.
Matt Rife
My name was Matt Life before I joined TikTok.
Giannis Papas
There you go.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. Which is a good name.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano

Chris DiStefano
This is his stadium. Yeah, my life stadium.
Matt Rife
Have you guys performed in Asia?
Chris DiStefano
No, I don't. I typically don't go behind.
Giannis Papas
He can't even eat. He can't even eat in front of him.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, I'm just kidding. Yeah, no, I. I do. I have never. I. I don't perform in Asia, but I've. I've seen Ronnie Chang's Stanford.
Giannis Papas
It's. That's enough.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, it's enough.
Giannis Papas
You.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Matt Rife
Have you performed in any non English speaking first countries?
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, I've performed in the Bronx.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. I don't know. Little character called Maurice. I've done a few English as a second language shows.
Chris DiStefano
What's Norway? We did Norway. Where you've been. You've been to a lot.
Giannis Papas
You've been a lot.
Chris DiStefano
Been around. Y. Been around.
Matt Rife
Where was the hardest, like, language barrier?
Giannis Papas
Well, Scandinavian countries, they all speak great English. You've probably been there. Yeah. So it's like, I think got a Scandinavian look. Yeah, he does.
Chris DiStefano
Scandinavian kid. A Danish Viking kid.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
I would love to be part Viking.
Chris DiStefano
You do? You look like it.
Giannis Papas
What is your ethnic background?
Matt Rife
Italian and German.
Giannis Papas
See, like an American mutt, kind of. He's a German.
Chris DiStefano
He's German. He's one of us.
Matt Rife
Those shows were very fun. Have you Germany yet?
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
No. Oh, well, we've been To Germany. But we didn't do stand up.
Matt Rife
Oh, dude, it's awesome. What was great about it, they know they fucked up. That's kind of the best part. So you can kind of go in on whatever they want. Like.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, we were actually pitching the idea because we said, you know, if dinosaurs are going to come back, and Giannis has confirmed that you can clone people. There's people that can be cloned. No, we were saying they cloned Hitler, have Hitler come back, make him the same kind of guy, vengeful on a war path. But you make him a super Jew and he kills Germans.
Giannis Papas
Right. You just. Because he looked it, he had the look. You just kind of raise him in Israel and just take all that hate and turn it on the Germans.
Chris DiStefano
On the Germans. He says the Germans are stealing the jobs. He gets to. He starts killing the Germans. And then you have an even. Steven is what we call.
Giannis Papas
But here's the thing, like, Matt's saying Germany is like, the safest place for Jews now. They're like, they know they fucked up. Well, maybe I'm wrong.
Chris DiStefano
No, no, we were there.
Giannis Papas
Did you meet some Nazis when you were there?
Matt Rife
I asked. I did like, 15 minutes on World War II jokes at the end of. I was like, is anybody Jewish here?
Giannis Papas
No. Nothing.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. Really?
Matt Rife
One Jewish person was at either one of our shows.
Giannis Papas
If I was Jewish, I wouldn't move.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. Even though they'd be like, no, but things are different now. I would still say, yeah, but I don't know if I want. Trust us.
Giannis Papas
You can trust us.
Chris DiStefano
We have. Yeah. We took down all the statues.
Giannis Papas
Everything's fine. It's a museum now. It's not even the oven anymore. It's a museum.
Matt Rife
But I'm hanging on. One thing you said only because we're going to talk about history and conspiracy a little bit.
Chris DiStefano
Oh, yes, we are.
Matt Rife
You mentioned dinosaurs. Are you guys up on the dinosaur conspiracies?
Chris DiStefano
Tell us. Okay, well, we do. We confirmed last week that fossil fuels was made up by John D. Rockefeller, who's from your home state.
Matt Rife
Is he?
Chris DiStefano
We. John D. Rockefeller is from Ohio. We did confirm that fossil fuels are not real. That that's government conspiracy. John D. Rockefeller made that up. Oil is not made from dinosaur bones. That it's just an oil conspiracy.
Matt Rife
You've been hanging out with Tim Dillon for way too much.
Giannis Papas
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's actually true that oil is mostly like sea algae and, like, sea life. That's why they find most of it in water.
Chris DiStefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
There's very little like on land. Organic.
Matt Rife
Listen, I'm fully on board with this.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
Because the next day after I heard this, I was in Washington D.C. and I loved going to all the museums, especially the dinosaur ones. I want to see the cool shit I'd heard. First and foremost, very cool. Fun fact. Dinosaur bones weren't discovered until years after George Washington died. So he never even knew they were a thing. It's fun fact. Interesting. A theory is that. Have you heard the theory that dinosaurs never existed?
Chris DiStefano
No.
Giannis Papas
I've heard that from a few of my Christian friends. Yeah.
Matt Rife
Yeah, Perfect.
Giannis Papas
I've heard that in a few elections. I've heard that. Yes. Yeah. There's a few people who do believe that.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
Theory kind of backs it up. They said when you go to a museum, there's never actually any dinosaur bones there. Think about any exhibit you've ever seen. It's always like cast moldings of them. Like construction within the lob, construct in the lobbies and everything.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
There's never actually any bones there. So sure enough, I was like, well, there's a. It's the Museum of Natural History in dc. Let me go check it out. It's all cast moldings. The only fossils that are ever actually there are the ones that are like embedded in fully rocks, like plants. The little. Little crustacean things, little spinny look looking things. There's never any actual dinosaur bones there, so. Didn't see. Didn't see one the whole time I was there.
Giannis Papas
You're basically making a case for Christ.
Matt Rife
You are trying to baptize in August.
Chris DiStefano
You did baptized in August. Catholic.
Matt Rife
Yeah. Just Christian. Just Christian. Christian.
Giannis Papas
Thank God.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You got to keep that butthole, say, fully baptized.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. Water on your head and everything.
Matt Rife
Yeah. In a dude's pool.
Chris DiStefano
Wow.
Giannis Papas
That's the way to do it. Yeah.
Matt Rife
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Was it official? It was like a drunk thing where you like baptized with dog.
Matt Rife
It was in a Tupperware container. Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Wait a second. What convinced. That's fascinating to me. What convinced you to get baptized?
Giannis Papas
The book, the Case for Christ.
Matt Rife
You know, not to get super sad, but like, when. When my. I've never been a super religious person, but when my grandpa passed away, something hit me that I was like, I'll never not see this person again. So something has to exist.
Chris DiStefano
Sure.
Matt Rife
And I guess I skew Christian. So I started to go to church a little bit more. I hate church. I find it excruciatingly boring.
Giannis Papas
I mean, they need new material. That's the thing, is the guy's doing the same Act. It's like, I've heard this act. You can't go on the road with the same act. You got to write a new hour.
Chris DiStefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, we know that. That's what it is. You're like, guy, write a little same. It's like, listen to Jerry Seinfeld.
Matt Rife
They're using chat GPT to write their sermons. Yeah. It's getting lazier.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. It's getting lazy.
Matt Rife
But I want. I want to believe in God, and it's obviously a huge part of the process.
Chris DiStefano
He believes in you.
Giannis Papas
He does believe in you.
Chris DiStefano
Oh, I know. So, yeah. He believe in you. Yeah.
Matt Rife
Swedish. Same thing.
Giannis Papas
He believes and it's.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
He believes in you. Yeah.
Matt Rife
I wanted to believe in it. I wanted to. I knew that's a big part of, like, converting to. To Christianity and, like, establishment from Islam Church.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Matt Rife
Yes.
Giannis Papas
Wow.
Matt Rife
You made the switch.
Giannis Papas
We're happy to have you because the crusade's coming and we're going to need your PR platform because we got to take Chrissy's old house in Staten island back.
Chris DiStefano
Taking on my old house because Muzzy's bought it.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Rife
What happened to your house?
Chris DiStefano
I sold it. I sold it because I couldn't walk to a bagel store.
Giannis Papas
And then the Caliphate bought it.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. And then. And then some. Yeah. Some people bough. And my neighborhood got a little mad at me and my. And so. But I moved to Queens. But I am. I am trying to move back to Staten island just because the way the world's going, I'd like to be over a bridge. I'd like. I'd like for there be. There's. I just. I'm just gonna say it. I'd like to be in a place that. No, nobody's really protesting.
Giannis Papas
There's.
Chris DiStefano
Nobody's. Nobody's taking that protest over.
Matt Rife
Are there a ton of protests in.
Chris DiStefano
Manhattan, New York City? I mean. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a little. I'm done sitting in traffic. I'd like to just go. I'd like to just go. You know, I'd like.
Giannis Papas
He's on the ice right now. He's skating around. What he want to say, Scott Hamilton, you skate.
Matt Rife
But he wants to say, I'm curious.
Giannis Papas
Well, I'll answer for. He wants to be in a Republican neighborhood.
Chris DiStefano
I got to that level. I just said, you know, I got kids, and I'm just. I don't.
Giannis Papas
He says, I'm 40, I'm white. I deserve it. Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
It's what it is. I respect the level of people. I Just told. I just don't need my 3 year old getting the story read to them by transgender.
Giannis Papas
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Chris DiStefano
I'm a transgender person in my family. I just. I just don't. It's just got. We've gotten to the point where I just, you know, having kids, I just like to go back in time a little bit and just kind of keep them in a place where it's like, you know, there's boys and there's girls and there's Jesus, and that's what. And those are the three people you need to know. And that's what it is. And we just. And then when you get older, you make the decision. I'm not gonna keep you from nothing. You make the decision. But just for now, while I'm raising you here, I would just like you to be on Staten Island. Yeah, that's the last thing. Because, you know, I don't need the.
Giannis Papas
Italian album because the other day.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, my.
Giannis Papas
You know, their whole day. Yeah, they all moved from Brooklyn and like, they went to Long island and stand out. They're just holding. It's the Italian.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, it's what it is. My stepson's got a friend, and the guy looks like Rachel Maddow, and that's a problem.
Matt Rife
The guy looks like Rachel Maddow.
Chris DiStefano
The kid looks like Rachel Maddow. So I said, you know what, man? Maybe it's time we just move a little bit. Just move. Listen, I'm not going all in. I'm not going crazy. I just like to be over a bridge. I'd like to just be in a place where you have an American flag outside your house. And it's okay. And it's okay. And that's all. And I just. We're proud to be Americans. And that's all. I'll say.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Now you probably drew Barrymore. What?
Giannis Papas
I said, yeah, don't story. Yeah, you probably get a lot of both coming to your shows. Everybody left and right.
Matt Rife
It's pretty mixed.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris DiStefano
He's for the table. That's for the table.

Matt Rife
Yeah, that's not true. That's absolutely not true.
Chris DiStefano
I mean the answer, Eva, you don't listen, you don't look at the comments. Do you look at the comment. John said something very powerful for me. You're love this actually, this is actually you might be the definition of the kid who needs to hear this because who's, you know, not many people are bigger than you up there. What he said to me and it's fundamentally changing. It's true. The posting of the content is for us. The comments and the likes and the views is for them. So the likes and the views. The reason why that upsets us because that's not for us. Not for us. What's for us on our side is the posting of the content that you're.
Giannis Papas
Proud of and then you leave it alone.
Chris DiStefano
Then you leave it alone. That's for everybody. Else that's for your agent, your pr, the fans, nobody. That's not for you.
Giannis Papas
Can you imagine, can you imagine if Seinfeld, the show was on the Internet and people could comment on it? That classic. And that could a show. Imagine the hate comments that would be under there. They'd be saying all the set sucks and all this shit. A lot of the reasons.
Chris DiStefano
Imagine what Kramer would be saying.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, yeah. Imagine what they'd be asking Kramer.
Matt Rife
Killing it on Twitter.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Giannis Papas
They'd be bringing up Seinfeld's old girlfriend. They'd be comment. And you. Can you imagine Seinfeld reading the comments and then getting all stressed out and going to write the show with Larry David saying, these fans saying that. Well, you don't even know what their motivation is. A lot of it is just for attention. It's just to communicate with other fans. It's not our business.
Matt Rife
Very good point.
Giannis Papas
It's not a neighborhood we should be in. It's for them.
Chris DiStefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
Them. It's like a bathroom wall where they just put things. It's just for them.
Chris DiStefano
It's for them.
Matt Rife
It's such a good one for us.
Chris DiStefano
For us is you're for the table.
Giannis Papas
The comment sections for them, the postings for us.
Chris DiStefano
Postings for you. You do it from the safety of your own home in Staten island and you just post.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
And everything else is unsafe. And then also the fans. What I did. Do you have social media on your phone?
Matt Rife
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
He took Instagram off and put Grinder on in its place.
Matt Rife
It was already on.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Matt Rife
Actually, he just made his way to the home.
Chris DiStefano
I have Grindr on. I do. But. But what I actually did, and this is another Yanni Yas, as we call it. Yanni Yass, when he gives good advice is I took the. I still have the Instagram. A guy runs it, but I took it off my phone because I was getting unhappy constantly checking it. And I removed it from my phone. And in the place, I put this app that he recommended called Elevate. And the other one's called Inspire. And it's a learning app. Like, you're playing all these fun games. Even my daughter, my oldest daughter is nine. You know, she would want to go on the iPad and the phone. And you let her be a part of technology, whatever, Playing Roblox, whatever. But now she plays these games with me, this Elevate and Inspire, because they have like one game like the rocket, you know, like that rocket one where it's like you have to, like, match different words, but you're learning. It's like, all, like, advanced levels, and it's playing these games, and I find myself. If I'm gonna be on the phone and sucked into an app for an hour, it's this learning app, and you're coming out learning all this stuff. And social media is still a part of our life, as it has to be, but I don't. I send the content to a guy and he posts it.
Matt Rife
That's so smart.
Chris DiStefano
So because I'm like, remove. You know, remove yourself. Because it just decreases your happiness.
Matt Rife
Absolutely.
Chris DiStefano
Social media is a can't. I mean, obviously, all of us have done well off it, but it's social media. It's a cancer that if. Of your. Of your happiness. That's what it is.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. What's your view on it? Because you got big on social media, but also you get a lot of trolls on social media, I'm sure.
Matt Rife
Yeah. Overall, I think it does way more bad than it does good. Like, you obviously can capitalize on the reach of it, which is awesome.
Chris DiStefano
Which is what you did.
Matt Rife
You can be the funniest person in the world, but if nobody ever sees your stuff, how would anybody know that? So obviously, the reach is incredibly important. Important and world changing.
Chris DiStefano
Man.
Matt Rife
I find it's. I find it's way more negative than is positive. You can't be on social media More than 10 minutes and not get upset at something, whether it's directed to you or not or somebody else saying something you disagree with. You're. It's. It's negative almost immediately.
Chris DiStefano
Try the app. Try. Try this Elevate and Inspire app or whatever. App. Try it.
Matt Rife
I don't play any games on my phone.
Chris DiStefano
Try to replace the app. I am. Try to. Try to just replace the app. Try to just replace that. What is this symbol, by the way?
Matt Rife
Illuminati.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, look. Giannis has got the chain on. Same thing.
Giannis Papas
There it is right there. I'm in it now they're gonna think we're both in the Illuminati.
Matt Rife
It's just. You never seen the. The wireless chargers?
Chris DiStefano
Oh, that's what it is.
Matt Rife
Set it on.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
And then the charger connects to the back of the phone.
Chris DiStefano
What app do you play? What do you play on when you go on your phone? Other than social media, what do you use?
Matt Rife
Nothing.
Chris DiStefano
Just social media.
Matt Rife
If I'm not on social media, I'm not really on my phone or texting.
Chris DiStefano
Well, can you put a time limit on for social media? Can you do five minutes a day?
Matt Rife
Is it possible you can Set it. And then. But here's the thing, it comes up, it says do you want to Ignore? Ignore for 15 minutes or ignore all day? And you almost always press ignore all day.
Chris DiStefano
Damn it.
Matt Rife
I know.
Chris DiStefano
How we gonna get the kid off it? I don't want to lose Matt.
Giannis Papas
This is what.
Matt Rife
I'm also difficult because it is so much part of our career. Like we have to be social media marketers, not just comedians anymore.
Giannis Papas
Right.
Matt Rife
So like. And there's so many things that play into that. Interactiveness is one of them. Like communicating back and forth with fans, upping the, the activity on the. On on each post, liking people's comments, coming back and forth, them creating.
Chris DiStefano
But do you have to be the guy that does that?
Giannis Papas
Can't you just have like a.
Chris DiStefano
Can't you just have what? Get a eunuch.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
Get a unic. Yeah, I, I probably should, but it's one of those things that I. I don't know if it'll be done the right way. Can you trust somebody to do it exactly the way you would do it?
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, yeah.
Giannis Papas
But, but see that's what the social media sites do is they want to keep you on there for as long as possible. So they make that part of the algorithm that you got to.
Chris DiStefano
It's brain gambling.
Matt Rife
Oh, absolutely.
Chris DiStefano
Where the product and it's.
Matt Rife
And it's impossibly inconsistent as well. You can think you have it down to a science. Tick Tock is a perfect example. Like we figured out the science of Tick Tock and that's obviously where would change my entire life. But the app is so ever changing. It's a horrendous business model. I've met with a couple of people, phone calls or zooms with people at Tick Tock.
Chris DiStefano
The president of China. What's his name? Xi Jean Ping. Hello.
Giannis Papas
Matt Rife.
Chris DiStefano
Hello.
Giannis Papas
So we really like what you're doing.
Matt Rife
Yeah, I knew I'm setting myself up immediately.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Matt Rife
And they talked about how the, the algorithm on there is ever changing. Like think of the specific example they gave. It was so. Okay, for example, when you know, say you have a million followers on TikTok, right. When somebody, when you follow somebody on TikTok, you are not even 1% more likely to see their content anymore. Like following somebody on TikTok does absolutely nothing. Wow. All algorithm based.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
And it's all trend based algorithm. You know, you see the dances or what people are dressing and doing a weird stupid robotic sheep like thing. Just brainless. And they push out a new one almost every week, which I Also have a fun conspiracy about that. I think that's. AI.
Chris DiStefano
I bet you.
Matt Rife
Okay, you know what? Like within like 10, 15, 20 years ago, somebody comes up with a dance, right? Let's call it the Dougie, right? Everybody knows who made that dance. Everybody knows. That person's world famous. That group is world famous for a year at least, right? There's a new dance or a new trend on TikTok every single week. Nobody knows who starts them.
Giannis Papas
Right?
Matt Rife
That's a bit strange, right?
Chris DiStefano
Weird.
Giannis Papas
Somebody's behind that.
Chris DiStefano
So is the key then for TikTok not to follow us is to get on the phone. Woo. Page?
Matt Rife
Yeah, absolutely. That's entirely it. And stand up is no longer a push thing on there. They should have told me. They're like, oh, we don't push stand up like at all on our platform.
Chris DiStefano
So what? We're interested.
Giannis Papas
So they're done with that. What's the new thing then?
Chris DiStefano
What are they pushing now?
Matt Rife
Whatever. The new week.
Giannis Papas
I think the new hot content is Palestinian, Israeli war footage.
Matt Rife
There's footage on the.
Giannis Papas
I. If I saw Palestinian, Israeli war footage walking down the street, I'd ask for an autograph.
Chris DiStefano
So what?
Giannis Papas
So I think that's the new shit.
Chris DiStefano
So that's the thing to do. So what you do is you throw up. So what I'll do is you throw up.
Giannis Papas
You got to go there and fight in the war.
Chris DiStefano
Well, no, you. So here's what you do then.
Giannis Papas
And that makes you a star.
Chris DiStefano
You put up the Israeli. The Israeli. No, put up the Palestinian, Israeli war footage. Yeah, put that on. And then at the end, you roll your dates down.
Giannis Papas
Then you roll your dates right over.
Chris DiStefano
Come see me in Phoenix. Yes. Miami. Yes. Bang.
Matt Rife
That's just the audio over, like the Roblox.
Chris DiStefano
That's what it is.
Giannis Papas
That's what it is.
Chris DiStefano
What you got to do, dude.
Giannis Papas
That's what it is.
Chris DiStefano
And then.
Giannis Papas
And then.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, but. But let me ask you this. If social media went away tomorrow. Yeah. Would you care?
Matt Rife
I'd be so happy.
Chris DiStefano
Right.
Matt Rife
If it went away for everybody, I'd be so.
Chris DiStefano
Isn't that insane? We all feel the same way and we. You had a huge career off it, but we, like, if you took it.
Giannis Papas
All of our careers due to social media, for the most part, everybody. Yeah. I mean, I didn't get anything from my fusion show.
Matt Rife
The difference.
Giannis Papas
My AOL sports show that did nothing. I threw a wig on and I went viral.
Chris DiStefano
That's.
Giannis Papas
That's the only thing that's happened.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Matt Rife
No, it's fantastic for Exactly. That like any. Anything can pop off and help you. I think the difference is, is we actually do something live. And people have succeeded in our field for decades, centuries before us doing this. There's still an avenue for us to be successful without it.
Chris DiStefano
Right.
Matt Rife
I think it was just. It goes back to being a little bit harder, but more organic and healthier. Right, sure.
Chris DiStefano
Right.
Matt Rife
I think it's so unhealthy.
Giannis Papas
I'm worried. I'm worried about your generation, and I'm glad you're on the show because I could say this because social media, you guys grew up with it. You don't know anything different.
Matt Rife
I got the tail end of it. I didn't get social media till I was about 14, 15, I want to say.
Chris DiStefano
How old are you now?
Matt Rife
29.
Giannis Papas
Yummy. So you caught the pitch.
Matt Rife
Isn't that crazy? I'm almost too old for you.
Chris DiStefano
That's crazy. I know. Almost. Yeah. Keyword almost.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
It's the adrenochromos. I'll look this way for a while.
Giannis Papas
So you're like an older Zoomer then, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because.
Chris DiStefano
So a little bit younger than him is. Is really who you're mostly worried about.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, well, him and under. Because.
Chris DiStefano
But the younger group, they did vote. Skew more Republicans, so that's possible.
Matt Rife
They really.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, they did.
Chris DiStefano
Younger guys, kids in the early 20s, they came out hard for Trump.
Matt Rife
Really?
Chris DiStefano
Of all races and religions.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
They just came out big for Donnie T. Yeah. The young guys, the young kids. Now, how wild. We're about to tell you. I have a nephew. Well, cousin. He's like, 17. He's like, oh. In my brain, because his algorithm, he's like, the Republicans are the good guys and the Democrats are the bad guys. I was like, oh. When I was raised, it was the exact opposite.
Matt Rife
Well, I think it was when, like, the Civil War and stuff was happening, wasn't it Democrats that were frozen.
Chris DiStefano
Republican Republicans were the good guys. And then the parties flipped somewhere along the way.
Matt Rife
Okay.
Chris DiStefano
They flipped. Really? In what the. We did an episode on the 50s and 60s.
Giannis Papas
They flipped. FDR, FDR was really the final flip.
Chris DiStefano
Franklin Delano Roosevelt with the. He came in.
Giannis Papas
Teddy Roosevelt was like, the first flip.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
He was like. He founded the Progressive Party, the Bull Moose Party, and he wanted women's suffrage, and he wanted women to vote and minority rights and stuff like that.
Chris DiStefano
Puerto Ricans.
Giannis Papas
Puerto Ricans.
Matt Rife
Were there Puerto Ricans?
Chris DiStefano
No. Teddy Roosevelt. The Spanish American War. Teddy Roosevelt, when they won it, he wanted Puerto Rico as a Spanish, as A country. So I'm very thankful to Teddy Roosevelt. My whole family's Puerto Rican and my whole existence is Puerto Rican.
Matt Rife
Shout out to T.R.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, and my whole career is Puerto Rican.
Chris DiStefano
And Giannis, his whole career is Puerto Rican. You've never met two white people who have capitalized more in the Puerto Rican culture than us. I mean, make no mistake, Yanni and I, we are. We're the bad bunnies of comedy.
Giannis Papas
But here's the thing is we got these like, you know, we got these hunter gatherer, like sort of agrarian brains. We're not, not. The technology is so new. Our brains aren't not supposed to communicate with that many people and have that much information in our brains.
Chris DiStefano
Can't do it Makes sense. We're not evolved for it yet. So that's why I think very quickly in these last 10 years, you see.
Giannis Papas
All these mental health crisis with young people. That wasn't when I was a kid, that didn't even the kid with the most up parents who you knew was the poorest, there was never any like depression or suicidal ideation. Now like young kids, it's like commonplace, commonplace because if 14 states have fired a lawsuit against TikTok 14 states for mental health costs because their mental health costs have skyrocketed so much and it's all they say.
Chris DiStefano
Teddy Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, my lord and savior, for bringing me Puerto Rico has one of my favorite quotes. He said comparison is the thief of joy.
Matt Rife
That's his quote.
Chris DiStefano
That's his quote. And social media is just one big comparison tool. If you're not comparing yourself to others, you're comparing you to you. So it's just all it is is capitalizing on comparisons. So for me it's like that is that robs inherently robs your joy. And you know, we're trying to just be happier with less.
Matt Rife
Now without social media, do you think we are the least happy generation?
Chris DiStefano
I do.
Giannis Papas
I think that the. I think you're the whites.
Chris DiStefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
Of whites.
Chris DiStefano
Of whites. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
I think, yeah. I think the generation is living in a place that doesn't exist too much of the day and it's fucking with their minds.
Matt Rife
Absolutely.
Giannis Papas
With the dopamine. Every nature is about balance. And that shit shoots dopamine up, shoots it down. It's turning everyone's mind into a gambler. Like it's gambling.
Chris DiStefano
Well, we are the product now. It was for products, were products. But then somewhere along the line, you know, zuck somebody, I guess we have to edit that out, but somebody. But somebody should just, I mean Zuckerberg should just go to. I mean, listen, if you want to. Trump better not pardon Zuckerberg and he could. He's going to pardon Diddy and that's just what it is. But he better not. I think, I think day one he's going to do it.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, you do.
Matt Rife
It would be, it would be very fun.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, yeah.
Giannis Papas
I mean, listen, Trump was a celebrity for a long time. He was hanging out with all those guys. Who knows, who knows, who knows?
Chris DiStefano
Oh, what of Trump? Oh, if Trump, I mean, he was.
Giannis Papas
Good friends with Epstein.
Chris DiStefano
Did you know the conspiracy about Diddy? I think I might have said this on the pod. They think that Diddy, the reason why he's not dead in jail right now or going around getting like. Well, you haven't heard about him much is because the day before he got arrested, he sold all his celebrity sex tapes that he has with a listers for 50 million plus dollars to Saudi Arabia. So they have possession of these tapes and they got. And they. And he said, if anything happens to me, you release these puppies and supposedly let the government know. Don't fuck with me because I got. I mean, you're everybody on tape.
Giannis Papas
You're at that level right now. I want to give you a piece of advice. Do not have sex with anyone in anyone's house besides your own.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Do not. Do not too many cameras.
Chris DiStefano
And honestly, dude, just to keep it safe, just have sex with guys.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, because guys don't do that.
Chris DiStefano
I won't open my mouth. Nice and shut.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, I mean, look, guys are a lot safer in that area.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, dude, it's. You're going to get in trouble. It's going to be girls. But make no mistake, Matt, I won't say nothing. Your secret's safe with me, cuz I got secrets too.
Matt Rife
I just, I've never needed to bad enough to go to Staten Island.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, I know, it's bad. Sometimes you don't even need an easy pass. You just wave the American flag and they let you. It's free, baby. Clip, clip, clip, clip. What state are you from? Clip cowboy. Oh, you're figuring Ohio.
Matt Rife
Also from Ohio.
Giannis Papas
He looks like an Ohio kid. He looks like. He looks like two minutes away from chewing on a gun.
Chris DiStefano
I mean, he looks like a Civil War general. Yeah, right. He's got, he's got Civil War.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
But Kyrie left. He looks like he was like, oh, we got the quarterback who raped every masseuse in the country.
Chris DiStefano
Ohio is back though. Everybody from a home.
Matt Rife
What's the best Time of day to get a deal. All day with Jack in the box's all day. Big deal meal. You get to choose from four entrees like the supreme croissant and five tasty sides, plus a drink starting at $5. So hurry in or take your time. You've got all day at Jack. Every bite's a big deal.
Chris DiStefano
ABC Wednesdays, Tim Allen and Kat Dennings star in the new family comedy Shifting Gears.
Giannis Papas
Dad, I'm GR and I need a place to stay until I figure out.
Chris DiStefano
What the rest of my life looks like. So a couple of days when his daughter moves back in. The last time you walked out that.
Giannis Papas
Door, you looked back at me and.
Matt Rife
Gave me a double bird.
Giannis Papas
I was 18. The double bird was how I ended all our conversations.
Chris DiStefano
The wheels come off.
Giannis Papas
Can we try to talk to each other like rational adults?
Chris DiStefano
Have you watched the news lately? That's not a thing anymore. New Wednesdays, 8, 7 Central on ABC.
Matt Rife
And stream on Hulu.
Chris DiStefano
Dave Chappelle.
Matt Rife
Everybody leaves except for Chappelle. Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Have you had. Since you've gotten really, you know, big, like arenas levels, have you had a fucking nice fat bomb, like an old school bomb yet? The big. Your crowd, a big crowd. I have had a bomb. You know what I mean? Like an old school fucking bomb. Like we've all just sucked a cock.
Matt Rife
On a headlining show.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, yeah. Or a few minutes.
Matt Rife
Few minutes for sure.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Matt Rife
What. Where, where were we the other day was. It might have been Copenhagen.
Chris DiStefano
Okay.
Matt Rife
I think Copenhagen or Liverpool. I forget what we were talking about, but I was talking about something was. It was bombing so bad for like three minutes. And I really thought I was. It was gonna turn out to something. I thought I was gonna find the punchline, like three minutes of ranting about it. And I just go, anyways.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, anyways.
Matt Rife
And the whole crowd, you can feel the whole crowd go, thank God, he's moving on.
Chris DiStefano
Right, Right.
Matt Rife
So I've had a moment of it, I suppose. But no, that's the. That's the best part about everything that's happening right now is like everybody's so down to have a good time.
Chris DiStefano
That's.
Matt Rife
Yeah, it's the best energy.
Chris DiStefano
It one of those things where once you start performing for your fans, you know, you're like. You're like comfy. It's comfy.
Matt Rife
That's why you can't test out new stuff. Like, I was just in Maryland last weekend and my boy Martin Amini runs. He has his own room there called room at 808 and it's all his fan base. I wasn't promoted or anything. So the room fits like 60 people. It's the best workout room probably in the entire country. Went there, worked on like 25 new minutes of material. And I love that it wasn't my crowd. Because your crowd can think whatever you say it's is funny. Sure, if they're already on your side. But going to perform for people who aren't initially there to see you, it's the best judge.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Matt Rife
And then we worked out of those 25 minutes. I'd say like they went from all like C plus premises to A. A minus jokes for the actual big shows at. In Maryland. It was the fucking best.
Chris DiStefano
Amazing, dude.
Matt Rife
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. See, I know. It's like, that's why like, sometimes, like, it's good that you were doing stand up for as long as you were before you got famous. Because these guys who get famous and then try to do standup, it. Even if they're funny and talented, it's just hard for them to work because they can never test material material because right away they're like, oh, I know this guy. Yeah, we gotta. You gotta sit and like almost incubate, you know what I mean? When nobody knows you for years. Of course, if you smile like that at me one more time, I'm gonna come over there and kiss you. No, because you've got new teeth. As Giannis calls them teeth tits. And they.
Giannis Papas
Dan Soder shout out Dan Soda.
Chris DiStefano
When An Soda said hair tips, he said hair tip. But then you gave teeth.
Giannis Papas
But I would never come to teeth tits without dance.
Chris DiStefano
Okay, so dance. So an alley oop from Dan Soda. The slam of teeth. When did you get your teeth tips? They are gorgeous. I was.
Matt Rife
I was 19.
Chris DiStefano
You got. Oh, wow.
Matt Rife
Yeah, Yeah, I bought them with every. Ralphie May took me on my first ever tour with him. It was a little. It was a tour bus tour, right? He had the whole back half.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Matt Rife
And I stepped on the couch.
Chris DiStefano
Yes. It's what it is.
Matt Rife
I spent every single penny from that to get my teeth done. And then I still was on a payment plan for like six months.
Chris DiStefano
They are gorgeous.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
Thanks, man.
Giannis Papas
You gotta do it, dude. It's out there. Do it. I mean, Dan Soder talks. He got hair tits, right? Cuz his hair was. He was losing his hair.
Matt Rife
You get a turkey.
Giannis Papas
Mat Lane also admits.
Chris DiStefano
Mat Lane has. Yeah, Mat's the only guy who can rival you bodywise.
Matt Rife
No, his body's fantastic.
Chris DiStefano
You think he's better than you?
Matt Rife
He's he's the hottest guy I've ever seen.
Chris DiStefano
He's on Juice. He. He's open. He's open about it. Mat's open about juicing.
Matt Rife
Huh.
Chris DiStefano
But you don't Juice.
Matt Rife
I thought he was just Italian. He's so hot.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, I know.
Matt Rife
It's so gay. Italian.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, but he's from the Midwest too.
Chris DiStefano
He's Chicago kid.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. He's not even.
Matt Rife
He's not from New York.
Giannis Papas
No, he's from Chicago. And his. His real name is, like, Larry, right?
Chris DiStefano
Matthew.
Giannis Papas
Matthew.
Matt Rife
He changed it to Mato.
Giannis Papas
I think he changed it Mat. It's a good name, though.
Matt Rife
Before he came out or after he came out, he changed to Mat.
Giannis Papas
You mean out of the closet?
Matt Rife
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
No, everyone knew. I mean, I don't.
Chris DiStefano
He was in. He was. He was actually. I think he was out of his womb, G. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
I think he came out like, guys, this is my coming out party being born.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
He was like on every song.
Giannis Papas
He's so talented and so gay. Opera in his head.
Chris DiStefano
In his head, his mom would be like, matthew. And in his head, he. We go, mate.
Giannis Papas
That just. Yeah, like, much like gays, they're like, my name's wrong. And he fixed it.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Just like when he comes into a room and he goes, this is all wrong. He went, my name's wrong.
Chris DiStefano
I've said it before. I've said it before and I've say. I'll say it again. In this business, we have many, many talented friends, all talent, whatever, very interesting people, just from multiple levels of talent. Matteo Lane is my most talented friend. That man can do anything you want him to do. Sing, dance, act, cook, muscles, whatever you want. Literally. My daughter, he came over once and he was holding my daughter. She was nine. She was four or five at the time. He was holding her with his left arm, just bulging biceps. Then he was making carbonara. The best pasta carbonara I've ever had in my life. He put the wooden spoon down and then was drawing her a picture of Ursula that I later jerked off to drawing her a picture of Ursula for her beautiful freehand. Just doing it while singing opera at the top of his lungs. And there's multiple times still to this day, my daughter would be like, you need to be more like Mateo. That's the key to.
Matt Rife
I mean, he's a Disney princess.
Chris DiStefano
He's the most talented man I've ever met in my life.
Giannis Papas
He's got the most talent of anyone. Like, pure talent, Mateo. Like, diverse, versatile talent of anyone.
Chris DiStefano
He's a huge Star now. But I was like, I can't even believe it took as long as it took for him, because when I saw him at an open mic once and I was like, okay, this kid, right? Everyone, obviously, this is the one.
Giannis Papas
But you see how the universe is balanced. All that talent. But then God made him gay, Right? Can't get out to heaven that way, unfortunately. Can't get into heaven according to you guys. Yeah, it's your, your, yeah, your thing.
Matt Rife
They did talk about that right before they dunked me over, they said, and can't be g.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, but so, so when you got, we never finished that story. You got baptized. How did it feel coming out of the water?
Giannis Papas
Out of the Smithtown water, you know?
Matt Rife
Yeah, it just feels wet. You just feel like you got dunked under. You get water in your nose every single time. I would imagine. I, I, I, I inhaled at least a, a quart, I would imagine. You don't, you don't. I didn't feel, like, spiritually reawakened. But you do feel, you feel good. You feel like it took a.
Giannis Papas
Was it a priest who did it or.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, I went in somebody's backyard.
Matt Rife
Yes.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Matt Rife
They have a very nice house, as most priests do.
Chris DiStefano
Right.
Matt Rife
And I went to their, I went to their service that day, and they do, like, they do baptisms at the church, but it's like big group ones, and I just didn't really want to own the pool. I didn't want to be like, taking selfies with people in a dress.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, you. That, that'd be like, Yanis.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Y.
Giannis Papas
The merch line, Maurita. Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
So you didn't grow up religious at all?
Matt Rife
No, no. The only time I went to church as a kid was like, you stayed over at a friend's house who was going to church on Sunday, and they're like, well, if you stay over, you have to go to church in the morning. Like.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. Be prepared to get a message from my mother, cuz she's, she, she's got you on the ropes right now. She. Because she want. Because I told, as I told Giannis, my mother's very Catholic, very religious. Giannis has been embracing Christianity a little bit more. My mom, she's got him on the ropes, and now she's going to listen to the effect. She thinks she's got you on the ropes and she's going to try to get the both of you in, in to try to get her to go in a Catholic church every Sunday.
Giannis Papas
I know this, I know it's not about us that I know. So there's got to be something, right? The ego is the enemy of everything. Everyone who does, like, mushrooms or DMT or whatever, they always talk about the death of the ego. And I've had that experience. I haven't done any drugs, but I've had those moments where I've been.
Chris DiStefano
You have done Klonopin.
Giannis Papas
I have done Pilates.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
I've had those moments where I've been like, oh, it's not about me. I'm thinking too much about myself.
Chris DiStefano
Right?
Matt Rife
Oh, yeah. None of it really matters.
Giannis Papas
Nothing's about us. It's about love.
Matt Rife
I would just love to find out it's a God that we've completely forgotten about. That'd be kind of cool. If you go back to like Greek mythology or something. There was like, there's hundreds of gods.
Giannis Papas
Could be Zeus, could be Zeus.
Chris DiStefano
There's this book Sapiens that. It's a beautiful book about evolution. And they say in the book Sapiens that when we were hunter gatherers, foragers, we were more agile, we had more dexterity. We were like than the, than the most advanced athlete of right now. Hunter gatherers and foragers were in much better shape, could do more things, could bend their ways and contort their bodies in ways that we never could. The injuries like slipped discs and neck problems and all that, that only comes when we start to farm. When we start about 5,000 years ago, when we started to like, grow wheat and cultivate wheat and focus on farmland and not hunting, gathering. This is when all the injuries and problems started to happen. But they said also back then is our brains were bigger then than they are now. And the only reason, the only difference between us and animals is our brains are just bigger. And it's a bigger portion of our body mass, so it's more energy. Our brain takes up more energy, so it has more computing power. So that's why we're able to be where we are. That's really like the main difference. But they also said that back because you're talking about like forgetting about gods. They said that all that happened was, is generation after generation began to farm. And then we forgot those generations after you go three, four generations of doing something one way, that generation can't possibly remember what their great, great, great, great, great, great great grandfather was doing. So it just happened so that. So it's very possible with gods that we just forgot that there was a Jesus before Jesus or Muhammad before Muhammad, because generations just stopped talking about it. And then you just pick up the new one.
Matt Rife
This is blowing my mind.
Chris DiStefano
Right There it is. Get off social media.
Giannis Papas
But I said, I don't think you.
Matt Rife
Read that on social media, though, for sure.
Chris DiStefano
On Elevate and Inspire, I read that they got what if you're not. Are you a reader? Do you like to read?
Matt Rife
No.
Chris DiStefano
So get this.
Matt Rife
Not a huge reader.
Chris DiStefano
Get this. Get this app Elevate. Because what they do is they give cute little summaries and cliff notes of books, and then you kind of feel like you know something, but you really don't know nothing.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
Enough to talk about it on a podcast.
Chris DiStefano
Headlines. I'm Chrissy. Headlines.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
I'm a headline kid. I'm a headline whore.
Giannis Papas
He gets half the story.
Chris DiStefano
I get half the story. Giannis comes in and gets the full story.
Giannis Papas
Is is Ohio. Columbus is nice. Columbus is doing well.
Matt Rife
It's a city.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. Their economy's doing well. Cleveland's in trouble.
Chris DiStefano
What's funny money about?
Matt Rife
They've been in trouble?
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
The river was on fire, dude.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. Yeah. The river on fire. It was the first major city to default on its debts in the 70s. Yeah. It's a real wasteland.
Matt Rife
This is an incredibly informative podcast.
Chris DiStefano
What's great about Columbus, Ohio. And these are chatgpt slut notes. What's funny about Columbus, Ohio, is, make no mistake, white people just came in there and killed all the Native Americans and then just named the city Columbus. Yeah, they just named it after.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Time White. That was just what it is.
Giannis Papas
That's just a Truth Bader Ginsburg. Right.
Chris DiStefano
Truth Bader Ginsburg. And it's what it is.
Giannis Papas
There was a lot of Native Americans there, and then it ended up being named Columbus. That's kind of just. That's kind of like pissing on the grave.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. It's a little too much.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, it's what it is. It's kind of like, you know, if they just change the entire state of Wisconsin to Trump.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Trump just came in and flipped it. He said, well, now it's called Trump.
Matt Rife
Do you think he'll get a statue? Statue.
Chris DiStefano
Trump.
Matt Rife
You think Trump will get a statue?
Chris DiStefano
I don't.
Matt Rife
Who got the last statue?
Giannis Papas
Dwyane Wade. And it's horrible. Yeah.
Matt Rife
It looks like Thanos.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Yes. The last, like, presidential statue. That's a good question.
Matt Rife
Like national hero statue in America.
Giannis Papas
It's a great question, dude.
Matt Rife
They've made a statue in a while.
Chris DiStefano
They haven't made a statue in a while. I'm trying to think who. That's actually a really good Question.
Giannis Papas
Maybe Reagan National Airport has a statue. Reagan.
Chris DiStefano
Reagan in. I could see Donnie getting one.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
I could see Donnie getting one. Yeah.
Matt Rife
Where would they put it, you think? What state?
Giannis Papas
I think Donald Trump would put it in his own house so he could look at it.
Chris DiStefano
I would say put it. Yeah, he put it in his own.
Giannis Papas
Bathroom and just stare.
Chris DiStefano
Definitely New York. Florida.
Matt Rife
Just like the Trump Hotel or something.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, I think so.
Giannis Papas
He definitely already has statues of himself up somewhere. Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
A kid loves himself. I don't think Donnie T Wants war.
Giannis Papas
He's been cheating on his wife with himself, himself forever. He loves himself. Yeah. He kisses the mirror.
Chris DiStefano
Came out. Kissed that mirror.
Matt Rife
No, he did not.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Oh, yeah. He does video of him before he does any speech. He might come out and just kiss that mirror.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. Have you ever blown a kiss?
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Have you ever blown a kiss to yourself in the mirror?
Matt Rife
No. Maybe I should.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Rife
You have. Yeah.
Chris DiStefano
Oh, yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. You gotta do it before you go on stage and, like, you just.
Chris DiStefano
You just comment down.
Giannis Papas
Give yourself a kiss.
Chris DiStefano
Positive energy.
Giannis Papas
Get positive energy. You're the best.
Matt Rife
Yeah, I think I would just see an eye booger.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah.
Matt Rife
The show has to be canceled.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, we were. We, you know, because we know we are. You're here to promote your book, and we were going to have you sign it, but me and Giannis came in. All the pages.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. We glued it.
Matt Rife
Did they even give you a book?
Chris DiStefano
They sent us the book. And that's so funny. We just saw the COVID of you that. And we just said, well, I guess this is. This is pornhub.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Matt Rife
Yeah. Not enough smut as they would let.
Chris DiStefano
Me put in there. What's the book? The book. What. What's the. Yeah, tell us the name of it.
Matt Rife
It's called your mom's gonna love me, which I think she will.
Chris DiStefano
She will. No, she will. I'm telling you, dude, she's gonna try to convert you. And she will get.
Matt Rife
I might convert your mom.
Chris DiStefano
Seriously, Convert.
Matt Rife
How old is she?
Chris DiStefano
My mom is 63, but she's in. She's in decent shape. Hey, you want to go into it?
Giannis Papas
Nicest woman she's ever met in my life.
Chris DiStefano
She has red hair. I'm out. She's single. Yeah, I get it.
Giannis Papas
Ex boyfriend died of polio.
Chris DiStefano
Her ex boyfriend died of polio. She isn't. She's in a relationship with Jesus himself. Yeah, that's what I would say. She's in a relationship with Christ.
Matt Rife
All right.
Giannis Papas
And Donald Trump.
Matt Rife
Well, no, actually, she a big Trumpie.
Chris DiStefano
Here's the thing is. No, what I was told is that she voted Republican down the line except for the president. She left that one blank. But what she doesn't know is I came around the corner and I put it. I came like this.
Giannis Papas
Whoa.
Matt Rife
What's her name?
Chris DiStefano
Lynn.
Matt Rife
Lynn. Lynn DiStefano.
Chris DiStefano
Yes. Which is. That's another ball. Ass. Baller. Ass. Shit about my mom is my mom and dad got divorced when I was one and my mom never changed her last name because she was like, I don't want you to feel like we have different last names. So she kept the last name of a man she divorced.
Matt Rife
No way.
Chris DiStefano
For me. So that's a great mom, right?
Matt Rife
That's pretty petty.
Chris DiStefano
It is, yeah. Yeah.
Matt Rife
I just go down that you can't get divorced unless both people sign the papers. So you can just stay divorced. You could just stay married to somebody who doesn't.
Chris DiStefano
Yeah, you have to. You have to get them to sign. And that's why some people are just separated for 30 years, because one or the other will not sign the papers.
Matt Rife
That's insane.
Chris DiStefano
Especially if there's no financial gain. Like if the husband or wife, if they have a prenup or whatever and you're not going to get any. A lot of people just sign the papers so they can get the money from the. Whatever spouse has more money.
Giannis Papas
A lot of something I didn't know that people should know before they get married is the state that you get married in matters. Some states are have no fault divorces. Which means like, let's say I'm your wife. Right. Or your wife. I want to leave anybody out. I don't want to make you feel.
Matt Rife
You had to choose.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, if I had to choose, I'm the one. I'm going with the money. Yeah, the money. And then I'm marrying you in Connecticut. And then I'm gonna cheat on you and I'm gonna take half your money. So what?
Chris DiStefano
So what?
Giannis Papas
Connecticut, no fault.
Chris DiStefano
Connecticut.
Giannis Papas
I could cheat on you. I could cheat on you with your brother. I could do anything. We get divorced, no fault. You give me half. It's the most brutal thing.
Chris DiStefano
So you don't need a prenup or anything in Connecticut?
Giannis Papas
I think you could do a prenup up. I think you could do a prenup and get out of it. But if you have no prenup, I don't know. Don't quote me on that.
Chris DiStefano
What is New York?
Giannis Papas
New York. You have to. It's different. I don't know. I don't know specifically. It's not as bad as Connecticut. I know, I know Connecticut. I know a guy who this has happened to and he explained it to me about the Connecticut.
Chris DiStefano
He was sleeping in the back of your house.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, Connecticut is bad, dude.
Chris DiStefano
What?
Giannis Papas
It is. No, this dude is a rich, rich guy.
Chris DiStefano

Giannis Papas
I'm just saying. Live, Matt. Live rife. Life for as long as you get. I'm.
Matt Rife
I'm going to. I also feel like I already miss the opportunity to be, like, a young parent. Right. Like, your 40s are free. They're out of the house by, like, 40, 45.
Giannis Papas
I.
Chris DiStefano
My first kid at 30. I'm. I'm 40. I'm going to. I'm still a young parent. My kids are 9 and 3.

Yes, Ohio. In Ohio.
Matt Rife
But then you get like, all of your 40s completely free. Like, there's a strategy to that. I'm about to be 30, so I've missed the young portion, but I still have, like, a solid 10 years old of, like, feeling really good, I think.
Chris DiStefano
Yes.
Matt Rife
So it's like, why not enjoy that?
Giannis Papas
And then.
Matt Rife
Then I can settle down.
Chris DiStefano

Giannis Papas
You know, you're Fucking successful when you write a memoir. 29 years old.
Matt Rife
Yeah, you know, I get asked about that. And the point being, it's like, yeah, you don't write a memoir to, like, 70, 80 years old. But, like, so much has happened that give a lot of context as to who I am, where I come from, and, like, what's going on with me right now. That would kind of do it. Injustice to. To summarize it in two chapters, 50 years.

Podcast Summary: History Hyenas with Chris DiStefano and Yannis Pappas – Episode: "Matt Rife is for The Table"
Release Date: December 5, 2024
Hosts: Chris DiStefano and Yannis Pappas
Guest: Matt Rife
In this lively episode of History Hyenas, hosts Chris DiStefano and Yannis Pappas welcome comedian Matt Rife as their first-ever guest. The trio dives into a mix of historical anecdotes, contemporary societal issues, and their trademark humor. Key discussions include the role of eunuchs in ancient civilizations, the pervasive impact of social media on mental health, personal experiences with faith and baptism, and an interactive segment where they evaluate humorous listener-submitted names, awarding the coveted "Pseudo Penis of the Week" (PPW).
Chris and Yannis kick off the episode by introducing Matt Rife, praising his charm and good looks in their characteristic humorous style.
Chris DiStefano [02:26]: "This is Matt Rife, everybody. [...] He's got a rockin' heart body, a rhb, and he's got blonde hair."
Matt Rife [03:00]: "I'm going to go now."
The conversation shifts to history, specifically the use of eunuchs in ancient times to maintain power and control, using Alexander the Great as a primary example.
Chris DiStefano [07:09]: "What's very good for you, Matt, is because you could have been born in any era. Unfortunately, if you were born, say in Alexander the Great's time, you would have your nuts clipped and be running his harem."
Yannis Pappas [08:27]: "It was actually progressive when you think about it."
The hosts and Matt delve into the negative ramifications of social media, particularly platforms like TikTok, on mental health. They discuss algorithms' manipulative nature and the addictive behavior they foster.
Matt Rife [32:04]: "I think it's way more negative than is positive. [...] You're negative almost immediately."
Chris DiStefano [40:06]: "Comparison is the thief of joy. Social media is just one big comparison tool."
Matt shares his journey towards embracing Christianity, motivated by personal loss and a desire for spiritual connection, despite finding church services boring.
Matt Rife [21:12]: "When my grandpa passed away, something hit me that I was like, I'll never not see this person again. So something has to exist."
Giannis Papas [21:16]: "I believe in God just for the placebo effect. I'm just going, I believe it and I'm happier."
Introducing a new interactive segment, the hosts review and rate hilarious names submitted by listeners, ultimately selecting the "Pseudo Penis of the Week."
Giannis Papas [66:30]: "A chicken finger is a good, simple one."
Chris DiStefano [73:02]: "Hummus Tunnels. Hope you read my name before I get deported. Rodriguez. And suck it before I talk to Kirby Pocket."
Matt Rife [75:30]: "I like that one."
Historical Roles: The discussion on eunuchs provided an intriguing look into how ancient societies used specific societal roles to maintain control and trust within powerful circles.
Social Media's Dark Side: The hosts highlighted how platforms like TikTok manipulate user engagement, leading to decreased mental well-being and increased anxiety among users.
Faith and Personal Growth: Matt's personal account underscored the profound impact that personal loss and the search for meaning can have on one's spiritual beliefs and practices.
Humor and Community Engagement: The PPW segment not only entertained but also fostered a sense of community among listeners, encouraging creativity and participation.
