Episode Overview

In this episode, comedians Chris Distefano (Chrissy D) and Yannis Pappas (Yanni P) dive into an outrageous but true story from World War II: the Nazi plot to bomb and sabotage New York City. The boys bring their trademark blend of wild humor and historical facts, focusing on “Operation Pastorius,” an improbable Nazi plan involving U-boats, saboteurs, and, somehow, Long Island and Florida. The episode swerves between deep history, personal confessions, riffing on German ancestry, and detours into food, anxiety, and even the insect politics of lanternflies. As always, the History Hyenas find the absurd heart of history—and of themselves.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Nazi Plan to Strike New York (00:00–06:40)

• Introduction to the Episode
  • Chris tees up the theme: “We're going to talk about Adolf Hitler wanting to invade New York City during World War II. A lot of people don't know that the Nazis made it all the way to Long Island. And it’s a wild story, baby.” (00:01)
  • The hosts briefly riff about feeling frazzled and survive another week, setting a goofy tone with jokes about the “Devil's Peen” knocking you "off the beam" in life. (02:02–04:11)
• Laying Out Hitler’s Obsession with NYC
  • Chris notes that Hitler and the Nazis "absolutely despised the United States" and “the Eternal Jew” of New York City, referring to anti-Semitic rhetoric in Hitler’s speeches.
  • Yannis highlights Hitler’s envy of American cities: “He really couldn't help but be a little jealous and envious of our cities. He liked our big cities and stuff... that’s why he wanted to make Germania.” (05:47)

2. Humor, Anxiety & Ancestry Tangents (06:40–13:26)

• Food & Anxiety Confessions
  • The show detours as Chris recounts bailing on a fashion show due to social anxiety, choosing instead to binge “three cheeseburgers and three ice cream sandwiches” alone in his car.
  • “It was just food. Didn't turn to alcohol or drugs or anything else.” (11:34)
• Personal Ancestry & Diet
  • Chris and Yannis riff on Chris’s ancestry: “You only have like 10% Italian in you... the rest of it’s German... I think there’s Jew and you got Jew.” (12:18)
  • Vikings, carnivore diets, and a debate over Germanic and Jewish roots unfurl.

3. Hitler’s View of America & the Ubermensch Myth (16:12–18:38)

• Fascination with American ‘Eliteness’
  • Chris shares that Hitler believed the U.S. had the world’s greatest “gene pool” of Ubermensch—because all the “elite people of Europe” immigrated to America.
  • Chris jokes about Hitler’s admiration for blonde, blue-eyed men: “The fact that he was not a kid with blonde hair and blue eyes, but was obsessed with the Ubermensch... He was a gay kid.” (16:18)
  • Yannis and Chris riff on Hitler’s repressed sexuality, referencing rumors and anecdotes about his desires for humiliation and control (17:28), with Yannis summarizing: "He wanted me to defecate on his chest... So that’s one account… He was a kid who maybe just liked to get his nuts stepped on." (17:45)

4. Nazi Technology & Operational Flops (20:25–23:08)

• Bombing NYC: Technical Stumbling Blocks
  • The ambitious “America Bomber Project” is discussed—Nazi attempts to develop planes with enough range to hit NYC and return. Designs included the Junkers “JU 390” and Messerschmitt 264, but “none of these planes became operational due to resource shortages and Allied air superiority.” (22:55)
  • Chris reveals, "One of the military plans... had one of the dates for the possible bombing of New York City [as] September 11th." (21:50)
  • Yannis: “That was our first 9/11.” (21:51)

5. Operation Pastorius: Nazis on Long Island & Florida (26:27–38:18)

• The U-Boat Saboteurs
  • Nazis land saboteurs on Long Island (Amagansett) and Florida via submarines.
  • Chris and Yannis describe the agents as "doing the snowbird invasion—just like elderly Jews, they went to New York and Florida.” (28:35)
• The Botched Bribery
  • The U.S. Coast Guard member who discovers the saboteurs is bribed with $260 (“they shortchanged him!”) but eventually tells authorities.
  • Yannis cracks: “The only problem is that this operation didn’t have any legs... It was called Operation Pistorius.” (29:27)
• Saboteurs Go Native
  • The German spies get distracted by the allure of New York and the Hamptons—“You don't want to send your spies to the Hamptons... It's the cutest spot in the summer.” (34:02)
  • Eventually two spies, Burger and Dasch, betray the plot, turning themselves in and ratting out the others.
  • Most saboteurs are executed; Burger and Dasch’s punishments are later reduced.

Memorable Moment

Chris:
“If the kid [Hitler] took one trip to New York City, it could have maybe stopped this whole thing.” (26:47)
Yannis:
"The enemy that you hate is within you." (31:43)

6. U.S. Response & Legal Aftermath (38:00–40:32)

• Military Tribunals

  • The failed Pastorius operation became a legal precedent for using military tribunals against “unlawful enemy combatants.”
  • Chris: “You get caught spying in the United States, you could get murked.” (38:46)

• Internment Camps

  • Both recognize that Germans were also interned during WWII (11,000 people), though most public awareness focuses on Japanese Americans.
  • Reparations were given only to Japanese internees (20K per person in 1988); “the Germans got nada.” (42:31)

7. Modern-Day Paranoia & Political Satire (43:05–45:59)

• Lanternfly Conspiracies
  • Chris and Yannis riff on a neighbor’s theory that the current lanternfly infestation is a Chinese act of sabotage.
  • “He goes, I think the government's telling us to kill those because I think China let them loose in our country. Either they got listening devices in them or... sabotage.” (43:31)
  • Yannis: “They're the fentanyl of insects.” (44:37)

8. Why the Nazis Failed to Destroy NYC (48:04–49:39)

• Love for NYC
  • The hosts argue the saboteurs failed because “they picked the wrong spot… You’re not gonna destroy New York City. If you take one peek at that skyline, you’re gonna get inspired.” (48:17)
  • Both imagine the Nazi operatives having "a cute New York day," eating bagels and wandering through the Village until they abandoned their mission.

Welcome to another episode of History Hyenas. We got a wild episode for you today about how the Nazis tried to bomb New York city in the 1940s. I'm Chris Estefano, aka Chrissy D. And with me as always, Giannis Papas, aka Yanni P. And I know just by looking at his hair that kids having a day.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm having a day.

[Chris Estefano]

I mean, look at that hair.

[Giannis Papas]

Is it not good? Is it not looking cool?

[Chris Estefano]

It looks good, cuz. But it looks like you were just driving here on the Long Island Expressway with your head out the window just to get a little air because the walls are closing in.

[Giannis Papas]

The walls are closing in. That's what life could do to you once in a while. And you know what would be nice? If I could just take a nice short trip to the Hamptons to just cool it out.

[Chris Estefano]

You look a little beat up.

[Giannis Papas]

Life could throw a couple curveballs at you, and it just keeps coming at you. You're going to get a break here and there, but just make no mistake about it, it's just a break because the.

[Chris Estefano]

The.

[Giannis Papas]

The beam.

[Chris Estefano]

The.

[Giannis Papas]

What is it? What do I call it? The Devil's. Be the Devil's. What did I call it? The Devil's stick will knock you off the beam.

[Chris Estefano]

The Devil's. Yeah. Oh, you called it the devil. Was it the Devil's peen?

[Giannis Papas]

I think it was the Devil's.

[Chris Estefano]

The Devil's pee. Knock off the beat. Now go like this. Just put your arm up like this because you got the tit hair. You look like the Statue of Liberty.

[Giannis Papas]

This is what life basically is.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

B, it's a tight rope walk on the beam.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Except it's like the game Frogger. And Devil's Peen is constantly swiping at you to get you off the beam.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Cuz and it will get you off. So the whole point is to just get back on.

[Chris Estefano]

It's make absolutely no mistake. You have survived. But the Devil's Peen did hit you in the side of the head and knocked your hair straight up.

[Giannis Papas]

And also, I was in Tampa for the weekend. Let me tell you something. If there's a place that wants to get you off the beam, it's Tampa. Also a place never to take your daughters. If you are a guy. If you're a girl dad with daughters, you never take them to Tampa. No, because nobody wears clothes down there. I mean, you got girls walking around that are like 14 years old that are wearing no clothes, with like shorts, like where you can see the bottom of their ass. I mean, it's ridiculous. I was walking around and it just looked like there was a bunch of girls who escaped Epstein's island who just kind of swam up on shore.

[Chris Estefano]

It's one of those things where, of course, you know, if you're having trouble maintaining an erection or getting erection, we encourage you to go to bluechew.com putting that promo code, hyenas. But if that doesn't work for you, then you just walk into Ybor City, Tampa, and you will get bricked up.

[Giannis Papas]

You will get bricked up. A lot of people go straight to pharmaceuticals, but there's a lot of national natural remedies that people can take, one of which like, look, if you're in a bad mood, you're feeling depressed, go to Miami. Yeah, just give somebody $2,000 to go to Miami. You're gonna feel real good. If you're having trou it up, definitely take a Blue Chew if it's our promo code. But if not, just go to Tampa. Like Chris said, you'll get bricked up. And if you're a spy, don't send them to the Hamptons.

[Chris Estefano]

Yes. What we're going to talk to you about today, we're going to get to that part. But did you know. Did you know that the Nazis. Adolf Hitler. I almost said my man, Adolf Hitler. So sorry that I thought that. I didn't mean. I was just. It was just vernacular. But Adolf, young Adolf, he wanted to invade New York City, had grand plans to invade America. I did not realize. And we're going to teach you all about it today. I did not realize that Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party absolutely despised the United States. And they thought. And this is. I was watching a Hitler speech, and one of the things that he said.

[Giannis Papas]

Doing that as your asmr. To get to sleep like you usually do.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. Well, I always tell. I tell my kids, put the fucking.

[Giannis Papas]

Bluetooth in, and you just listen to Adolf Hitler.

[Chris Estefano]

Sleep well.

[Giannis Papas]

My family just like a fucking baby.

[Chris Estefano]

My family just thinks this whole history hyenas podcast is just about the Nazis. Because every single Sunday night, I tell the kids I can't put them to bed because I have to go do research. And it's me just watching YouTube Hitler speeches in English. So my kids just don't. And then even Jasmine has been like, it's every week, you guys talking about the Nazis. I said, yeah, yeah. So. So even if we got to prepare for Genghis Khan, I just throw in a little Hitler speech.

[Giannis Papas]

That's what you like to do.

[Chris Estefano]

So. But he hated Adolf Hitler in one of his speeches in 1941. So right in the beginning of the war, he hated FDR in America. And he said. And made me laugh out loud. He called, first of all, he said FDR firstly thought FDR was a Jew and he wasn't a Jew. But then he said, FDR keeps the spirit of the eternal Jew alive. Yeah, he would call it the Eternal Jew. And he said the eternal Jew has infiltrated New York City. So I just thought it was funny that he called it the Eternal Jew.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, he. He looked at America as like this morally corrupt, diverse, Jew capitalist kind of place. But, you know, he really couldn't help but be a little jealous and envious of our cities. He liked our big cities and stuff like that. And it just, you know, that's why he wanted to make Germania. He was planning on doing this massive city with these big buildings because he wanted to compete with the usa, because at the end of the day, everyone is envious.

[Chris Estefano]

Yes.

[Giannis Papas]

Or admires the usa because once you look at the Big Apple, once you get a look at the Empire State Building, once you get yourself a slice, once you go get yourself a little Italian food, once you go get yourself a frankfurter and a knish, you can't help but say, wow, this is the greatest city in the world. What am I doing? Why did I go to Austin, Texas?

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. Yeah. Because I haven't had a knish in so long. And unfortunately, now knishes, which is one of, I think, the best Jewish foods, they don't have knish stands in New York City anymore. So that's why, unfortunately, I've had to go outside synagogues and start biting Jews way song.

[Giannis Papas]

She ain't. That's. That's. Yeah, that is.

[Chris Estefano]

I'm just looking for potatoes and mustard. Enough in a hot Pocket.

[Giannis Papas]

When you go on the carnivore diet, but you also miss a knish. That's what you got to do.

[Chris Estefano]

I'm just.

[Giannis Papas]

And I assume you're on a new diet at this point.

[Chris Estefano]

Are you trying the carnivore diet? Because I'm going to tell you, I'm going to get to some fun facts about why not about why Adolf Hitler was obsessed the United States. But before we do, I do just want to be honest with you. Because, you know, I'm always going to be honest with you. Yeah. Is I fell off the beam big this weekend. So what I did, I had what you call a little social anxiety.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

It popped up on me and I need to get on some medication. I need a little space. But I had some social anxiety. What happened was, is first of all, look at these sneakers. Cute kith.

[Giannis Papas]

Why? Yes.

[Chris Estefano]

Kithies. Yeah. Little soccer shoes. Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Not for me, but okay.

[Chris Estefano]

Yes. So kith, the great people at kith. Yeah. Invited me. One of the, you know, great clothing companies in New York invited me to go to their fashion show and to sit front row at a fashion show. So I said yes. So I said, I'm gonna go. And then what happened was it started to pour rain. And I just said, well, I don't wanna get my new kith's shoes wet. I said, that's probably not gonna look good. I don't even know what to do at a fashion show. Cause it's usually just for girls or gay guys. And so I go drive all the way down from my house, all the way down. Took an hour of traffic to go to the kith f downtown at our store in Lafayette Street, Manhattan. And then it started to rain. And then the show was going to start in 15 minutes. And I got a bunch of social anxiety. And I said, I'm not going. I said, I'm not going to walk in there. Even though it was so easy. I had a ticket. All you have to do is sit in a chair. I said, I'm not doing it. I also had four shows at the Comedy Cellar. I said, I'm not doing those. I also got invited to Tim Dillon's party in the Hamptons. I said, not doing that. And instead, what I did. Instead, what I did is I went to a little place called Hamburger America. Which is two blocks away from the event. And I got three cheeseburgers. And I said myself, you're gonna eat one, and you're gonna bring two home for your daughters, right? So I said, I'm gonna have these three cheeseburgers. And I put them in the passenger seat, and I said, you'll eat them all together as a family. And so then when I was driving down 6th Avenue, I said, oh, there's the. I think it's called Morgan Stern's ice cream. I saw the ice cream. I said, you know what my kids would love from there is ice cream sandwiches. So they have the honey vanilla ice cream sandwich, and they have a banana chocolate ice cream sandwich. So I said, I'm gonna get three. I'm gonna get one for me and two for my daughters. Because Jasmine has made it clear that she doesn't want to eat unhealthy. Because we had had a really bad weekend of eating pizza and pastas, and we had people over. So I said, okay, let's just get three. I'm gonna have one. Cause I'm gonna have protein. I'm just gonna eat the meat, and then I'm not gonna eat the ice cream. My daughters can split one and a half. And what happened was, is I was driving down 6th Avenue and started to rain again. I got stuck in a little traffic, and the anxiety started creeping up again. And I saw a girl walk across the street that I really wanted to pork. And I said, you can't do that.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

So I said to myself, the anxiety now has to go somewhere, so it's gonna go into my stomach.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

And by the time we were on 6th Avenue and Bleecker street, by the time highway, which was just five blocks away but a couple of streetlights, I ate all three cheeseburgers and all three ice cream sandwiches. And I swear to God, that's a true story. And I came back, and what I did is I threw. I did. I kind of found myself in my own ways. I threw the garbage out. I threw the garbage out in a. In a public garbage can. And I stayed in the city. I drove around some loops around in the city for another 45 minutes. I just to kind of let the time go by to make it seem like I went to the KITH event, and I went to all my comedy shows. And then I got home at the time that I normally would have gotten home, and my family was like, how was everything? I was. It was great. I was in the front row, did my steps, ate some salmons, did my Shows. And then they were like, oh, good. And then, you know, because there is just a new me. About five minutes went by and I said, I have to be honest with you guys. I'm lying.

[Giannis Papas]

You just.

[Chris Estefano]

I'm lying. I said I didn't go to the show. Did you hit the group chat after that? No, I didn't. I didn't have to hit the group chat, but I got close, right. And so I ate. I ate. So in the. In this weekend, I had. Because I had those three ice cream sandwiches and three cheeseburgers yesterday, but then on Saturday, I had four. Four to five slices of pizza, pasta, cannolis. I tried to eat a salad just to throw something in there. And then for breakfast, I had a bacon, egg and cheese. I had two back to back donuts. And then I got a double chocolate chip muffin. I toasted it with butter. So what I did is fall 100% off the beam.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

Because the social anxiety just basically, I look like what you look like on the outside. I look like that on the inside.

[Giannis Papas]

Now, what caused the social anxiety?

[Chris Estefano]

It's one of those things that came out of nowhere. Okay. They just came out of nowhere. Like the japane. They came right out and I couldn't. And I couldn't really stop.

[Giannis Papas]

It probably just didn't. Why don't you just take Debo with you? That's when you ever have social anxiety, just bring one of your neighborhood friends with you.

[Chris Estefano]

And I should. I should have. I should have done it, because I really. But I will say, you have to think about bottom lines and what's good, what's bad. It was just food. Yeah, it was just food. Didn't turn to alcohol or drugs or anything else. It was just food. And then I worked out really hard last night when I got home, I tried to work it off. And then this morning, I brought a homemade yogurt that I made with protein and I got an avocado toast with nice low saturated fat, no cholesterol. So you just gotta recalibrate yourself. I got. My point is, I got hit with the devil's peen, too.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

Tampa came to New York and it hit. And I got hit in the head hard with the.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, he swiped you right off.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Devil's peeing will knock you off the beam. The problem is you're a German.

[Chris Estefano]

You're. You're.

[Giannis Papas]

You only have like 10% Italian in you.

[Chris Estefano]

Yes.

[Giannis Papas]

The rest of it's German with. I think there was like a little Irish in there, and there's some Jew and you got Jew.

[Chris Estefano]

I told you. But theancestry.com, there's like 5% Jew in there.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

So I think that part. That part comes out and I get a little anxiety.

[Giannis Papas]

That's got to be from that. But I think mostly German, you know, you guys don't know what to do it yourselves if you're not killing people.

[Chris Estefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

So if you're not, like. Because these are Viking jeans, right?

[Chris Estefano]

They're jeans.

[Giannis Papas]

Look at his head. That did not happen. He's not built that way genetically. Because they were thinkers. No, they don't come from thinkers. You're, you know, you're. You come from.

[Chris Estefano]

You.

[Giannis Papas]

You were climbing up on shores and killing priests.

[Chris Estefano]

Yes.

[Giannis Papas]

Taking women and throwing them over your shoulder and doing things. And so you just feel like if you're not doing that, you feel like, what is my purpose?

[Chris Estefano]

Well, one of the things that I eat the most is I do salmon, I do berries and I do yogurts and that. I just read the thing in the newspaper the other day that's called the Nordic diet. They believe that's what the Vikings used to eat, is salmons, yogurts and berries.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

So that's what I naturally eat. Because I have Viking DNA. It's what I like. I like salmon.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, you have Viking DNA. There's no about it. You're a Germanic kid.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

And their Germanic kicks were big and they were strong. And they like to kill.

[Chris Estefano]

And they like to kill.

[Giannis Papas]

They like to kill.

[Chris Estefano]

They like to kill.

[Giannis Papas]

Their hobby. Some people like to play chess. Dramatic. People like to kill.

[Chris Estefano]

They like to kill. And for the. I've been living in my new home for 14 days now. And I do. I will say the. I will take. I'm trying to look for positives everywhere. I don't think in absolutes anymore. I had a bad eating weekend. I can't get around that. But the positive is, is for the first time in 14 days, I did finally muster up the courage. And I went into my basement, I walked to my basement. I went down there. Cause Jaz told me I had to go get the cardboard boxes. Cause we put out the cardboard Sunday nights. And I said, yeah, but it's in the basement.

[Giannis Papas]

Wow.

[Chris Estefano]

And there's no lights on. She said. And she looked at me, she said, chris, your daughters are listening to you go in the fucking basement. And she said it like that, through her teeth. And I did it. And I went and I ran, I sprinted. And I asked my older daughter Delilah to watch me up the stairs just in case I fell. And she was like, I'm right here, daddy. And then I ran out and I ran into the basement, and the basement's kind of cute.

[Giannis Papas]

You've been missing out. See, you were scared of nothing.

[Chris Estefano]

It was nothing. So now, So I, and then I, I, I almost went down there again this morning because the jasmine asked me to open up the basement door for the workers. And I said I couldn't do it, but I almost went down.

[Giannis Papas]

Because your hair wants Christmas bad. Yeah, yeah. Your hair's. Because you got your little, you got your little curl hanging down and it wants an ornament on it. You see the Christopher Reeves curl hanging down.

[Chris Estefano]

Well, I'm actually thinking I'm going to cut my hair. I'm going to do a four all around and just cut it down.

[Giannis Papas]

Are you going back Brooklyn style?

[Chris Estefano]

I want to go back Brooklyn style because I'm getting a little tired of, of, of you doing it.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, you're tired of looking like Soho White. You want to go back to borrowed track.

[Chris Estefano]

And I see that that cuts coming back in now like a four. Like a, not a shaved head, but like somewhere. You know what I mean? Like how, Jesse, like, you know what I mean? Like, you used to have the shave.

[Giannis Papas]

Part in there, right? Yeah. You going back to that?

[Chris Estefano]

You think you'll ever cut down your hair?

[Giannis Papas]

No, I can never. I look like a bird, right? I look like a bird. Yeah, yeah. I can't. I look like a mouse when I do this.

[Chris Estefano]

The Patreon episode today is Wild one. So go over there now, cuz. Do you know, here's something I learned in our. In our Hitler wanting to bomb New York City. Do you know, In World War I, we all know Hitler fought in World War I, right? He was just a soldier. And then, you know, the United States entered World War I and was fighting directly in Germany. And there was a battle where Germany, Nazis. Well, not the Nazis at the time, the German army was retreating and Hitler was one of them, and the United States was chasing them. And Hitler, as he was retreating away, noticed two American soldiers that had their helmets off with blonde hair and blue eyes. And he said, when he writes in his book, he said, that was the moment I realized those are the Ubermensch. Blonde hair, blue eyes. And he believed that the biggest gene pool of Ubermensch were in the United States because he believed all the elite people of Europe, because we are a nation of immigrants, United States came to the United States. So if you made it to the usa, you had in your DNA that eliteness to you, where if you stayed back in Europe, you may not be elite, but he believed everybody in the United States was elite. And the fact that he was not a kid with blonde hair and blue eyes, but was obsessed with the Uber bench, having blonde hair and blue eyes meant one thing and one thing only. He was a gay kid. There's no way the kid wasn't gay if he saw those guys and said yes.

[Giannis Papas]

Well, I mean, he was definitely an interesting kid when it comes to his sexuality, there's a lot of theories, right? He was a guy obsessed with control. And what I think about that is guys who are usually obsessed with control, they like to get their nuts kicked around a bit.

[Chris Estefano]

What it is.

[Giannis Papas]

And he had an affair with some chick, some German chick in the 30s, who I think might have been an actress or something, who said that the kid definitely liked to get peed on. He liked. He wanted me to defecate on his chest. And he liked to get kicked around a bit. And that's what turned him on. So that's one account. Now, whether you believe her or not, he was a kid who maybe just liked to get his nuts stepped on.

[Chris Estefano]

That'S what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. And usually that's the case when people who are obsessed with control, they want to balance themselves out by being, being in no control.

[Chris Estefano]

But don't you think if, if I, if I said to you the perfect man, the perfect man for me is, are the, the guys that I, I want. A whole country of These men are 6 foot 2 black men with dreadlocks, wouldn't you say? Well, Chris is a gay. He's a gay man and he likes black guys with dreadlocks.

[Giannis Papas]

I would.

[Chris Estefano]

That's what Hitler did. Hitler doesn't look like that. All he said, I really want 6 foot 2, blondie, blue eyed hotties.

[Giannis Papas]

I would.

[Chris Estefano]

So that's just a gay man.

[Giannis Papas]

I would. Yeah. I think that that might have been a big part of his sexuality. Also there's this rumor that he lived with his niece for a while. Right. And then his niece ended up killing herself. So there's speculation that maybe he's doing something with his little niece.

[Chris Estefano]

Hold on.

[Giannis Papas]

That's okay. What's going on? Take it.

[Chris Estefano]

But I can't do it.

[Giannis Papas]

On speaking, we'll take a pause.

[Chris Estefano]

Hello.

[Giannis Papas]

The one thing we do know about Hitler is that he liked them young.

[Chris Estefano]

Most leaders do.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, they like him young. I mean when he met Eva braun he was 40 and she was 17. And then there's a story about his niece. And then of course you got the chick that I referred to. I, I said it was the 30s, but it's actually the 20s. Her name was Mimi Reiter and she met Hitler in 26 when she was 16 and he was 37, I believe. Right. Or something like that. And she said that he had some abnormal sexual crests, including shitting on them.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. Which we call corporal philic tendencies.

[Giannis Papas]

We call, is. We call that a gym. Give me the Jim Norton with cheese.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. So corporal philic tendencies is. That's. I want to see somebody put that in their dating profile. Say that they have corporal philic tendencies and screen screenshot it and send it to us. Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

And then there was Gili or Gili Rabal, who was his niece, who possibly was a sexual relationship. It's not proven. And they say that he subjected her possibly to sexual degrading sexual acts. She killed herself at 23, which fueled the speculation. And of course LeBron, who I said was 17, right. When he was 40 or something like that. And they met and of course she was devoted to him and killed herself with him. So definitely like them young. But yeah. There's also rumors historians Think the rumors started because they were his enemies. That.

[Chris Estefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

Said he was gay. But you make a good point. If you're obsessed with dudes who look great and are buff and nice and, you know, they look like the dude from True Blood who was the blonde.

[Chris Estefano]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

That's what he liked, you know? Yeah. He would have looked at you and he would have went. He would have went peeling for you.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, yeah. So that just made me feel like the kid was a little gay, like a Jew. He did.

[Giannis Papas]

He looked Jewish.

[Chris Estefano]

He did. And he probably actually was. Yeah, that's what some historians even say, that they could find Jewish ancestry in his DNA, too. Now the kid wants to bomb New York City. Okay, so they have this plan. You know, you couldn't just fly a plane across the Atlantic Oce back then. You could, but not like a warplane. Right. You have to refuel it somewhere like America. We could get things to. To Germany, because we could just fly to England and then regroup and whatever. But how are these German planes going to fly from Berlin, bomb New York, and then get back? Not going to happen. So they came up with all these ideas, and they brought in von Braun, who winds up, you know, making the V2 rocket and who winds up heading NASA. The kid, you know, the scientist, von Braun, he thinks he has an idea, then another scientist thinks they have an idea. The bottom line is they never were able to get away to somehow get. Get these planes over there to drop bombs and actually, what a kawinki dig. One of the military plans that they found later on had one of the dates for the possible bombing of New York City was September 11th.

[Giannis Papas]

That was our first 9, 11.

[Chris Estefano]

First 9, 11, September 11th, 1941 or 1942. Young Adolf wanted to bomb New York City. Now they started to get. They started to think outside the box. They said, what about a seaplane? What if we can just. Just have a seaplane come over there and it'll bomb and then can land in the ocean and it'll get picked up by submarine. You could transfer.

[Giannis Papas]

Now by seaplane. Is it the same thing as. Were they Greeks, that.

[Chris Estefano]

Yes, yes, that's. Yeah. And that the seaplane could only land in Athens. Yeah. So 14. So they wanted to. So they wanted to. It was called the America Bomber Project. And the Luftwaffe, which is their air force, by the way. Luftwaffe is. Is a nice name. I want to get merchants as Luftwaffe.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, it is a nice name.

[Chris Estefano]

It's a fun name.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

They wanted to build this bomber with enough range to cross The Atlantic strike New York or D.C. and return to Europe. The designs included the modified Junkers Jew 3:90. So they called it the Junkers Jew, which is like their bunker buster. They just called it the Junker Jim.

[Giannis Papas]

That's the real name.

[Chris Estefano]

That's the real name, yeah. The Messerschmitt 264. But none of these planes became operational due to resource shortages and allied air superiority. So that's. That's the thing. That's the thing with war.

[Giannis Papas]

Sorry. It's all right, cuz you know me.

[Chris Estefano]

I love a hardcock.

[Giannis Papas]

Who doesn't?

[Chris Estefano]

That's what you want to see. You want to see videos of it. As I've said, the people that send us their penises that have rock hard erect penises from bluechew versus the ones that don't. Me and Yanni could sniff it out.

[Giannis Papas]

Right?

[Chris Estefano]

We know who's got a Blue Chew piece and who's got a non Blue Chew piece. And we prefer a Blue Chew piece.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, we run intelligence on that. We know if you have a rock hard piece that wasn't made in America. Yeah, Blue Chew was made in America.

Hungeroo.com hyenas code hyenas look, so they couldn't, they just, the kids just could not figure it out with the air or rockets. So then they said what about submarines? And they, they got these U boats and cuz did you know that a German Nazi U boat got off to the coast of Long Island?

[Giannis Papas]

Oh yeah, they were, they, you know, a lot of times they would get their U boats like right. Only like it's, they could see the city lights. They'd go, they'd go right up on New York a lot. New York. And you know the kids, you're far away from headquarters. Right. You know, once you see Those city lights. And you start hearing, if you could make it here, you could make it anywhere.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Kids just started having a change of heart. That's the problem. That's what Hitler didn't understand because Hitler had never himself been to the usa. He'd never been to New York City. If the kid took one trip to New York City, it could have maybe stopped this whole thing.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

The problem was he was just. All he was doing was building it off photos and propagating propaganda. He never actually set two feet in the boroughs.

[Chris Estefano]

No.

[Giannis Papas]

He never went on a cyclone.

[Chris Estefano]

No.

[Giannis Papas]

If the kid went to Coney Island.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Himself at Nathan's Frankfurter.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

It might have all changed because he would have been an immigrant. He would have put his feet swiftly and sternly in Ridgewood.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

And got himself a fucking Joe and John.

[Chris Estefano]

Oh, my God. Slice or what? If he would have just had a bagel, he would have said, you know what? The Jewish kids know how to make bagels instead of oil the bagel.

[Giannis Papas]

It's exactly right.

[Chris Estefano]

He would have just said, I mean, an everything bag with a little schmear. I mean, these people are not that bad.

[Giannis Papas]

You don't understand. You don't understand. A lot of times it's because people just. They can't make it in New York or. They've never been to New York.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Then they just turn sour.

[Chris Estefano]

That's what it is. And now here's the issue is that.

[Giannis Papas]

Plus he could have went to all the gay clubs he wanted in the Village and got his fucking nut stomped on. He got it out, nobody would have judged him.

[Chris Estefano]

You know how many blonde hair, blue eyed hotties we have in New York?

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. You know how many fucking trans. Any store in the Village that would have stuffed his mouth full of.

[Chris Estefano]

They would have loved it. And. And so the kid just never came. He never really got outside Germany. So. But these U boats, you know, that Nazis actually landed, they did land in Amangasset, right by the Hamptons. They got onto the beach.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

Okay. Four or five of these guys got onto the beach. They actually got stopped.

[Giannis Papas]

It was actually eight. But four in New York or in New York?

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, eight.

[Giannis Papas]

Four more in Florida.

[Chris Estefano]

Oh, I didn't realize they went there.

[Giannis Papas]

Which is ironic because they were Germans and they basically did the fucking snowbird invasion.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

They went to New York and they went to Florida. They took the same route as fucking elderly Jews.

[Chris Estefano]

Well, I was gonna say they knew. They said, where are the points of entry for the Jews in New York? It's New York or Florida. That's where they're coming in and out of.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

So they. But they what? What I don't love is that there was a US Coast Guard member that called the Nazis coming onto the beach. And all he did, they bribed him with 260 bucks.

[Giannis Papas]

Well, it was actually three. And they shortchanged him at 260 and.

[Chris Estefano]

The kid took 260. Why was that kid not given the death penalty for letting these Nazis in? 260 bones.

[Giannis Papas]

The kid did it strategically, right? Well, we don't know that that's what he says. But yeah, what Chris is referring to. The only problem is that this operation didn't have any legs.

[Chris Estefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

Didn't work and it didn't have legs. Pun intended. You want to know why?

[Chris Estefano]

Tell me.

[Giannis Papas]

It was called Operation Pistorius.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

To complete. Yeah, yeah. If they wanted to be successful, they needed legs. They just didn't have legs. So it's called Operation Pistorius.

[Chris Estefano]

And who absolutely killed his girlfriend?

[Giannis Papas]

Absolutely killed his girlfriend.

[Chris Estefano]

Said it was. She was an intruder. But the kid killed his girlfriend.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, I think he.

[Chris Estefano]

He just. Yeah, he killed his girlfriend. And then he put his legs on, ran away. That's what he did.

[Giannis Papas]

So Operation Pistorius was this German plan to get some saboteurs up onto land and have them blow shit up, attack Jewish businesses just to sow some panic and create and kill some information.

[Chris Estefano]

It was German terrorists, German terrorism.

[Giannis Papas]

So they. And. And these. Dude, these U boats would. Were like sometimes a couple miles off the coast, and they'd pop their little head up and take a look at, like I said, the skyline. And they were. They were very close. So. And the United States knew about it, so they would like dim their lights and stuff like that because they knew that these submarines were out there. But so what they did late at night in June, that was the problem. Like we said, they. They show up on the. Of Amagasset in Florida.

[Chris Estefano]

Amagasset, which if Amon Gassett, is the Hamptons. It's the beginning of the Hamptons in New York City, if you're not familiar.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, yeah, it's. It's where the Hamptons are. And they came up there and they landed in the middle of the night. And there was a Coast Guard guy who, who saw them and pulled them over and they tried to lie or whatever, and then they just tried to bribe him. They said, we'll give you 300 bucks. Right. And they ended up shortchanging with 260. And he went back to his coast Guard headquarters and told you, say, hey, we got some German spies that are coming. Because he probably felt outnumbered. He probably did it because he was like, all right, I don't want to get killed here. Right, Right. There was four of them. I don't know why he did it. Or maybe the kid was just going to take the bribe and just had a change of heart. I don't know.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, I don't know. Or maybe, yeah, he got. He got. Or maybe he thought, you know what? These guys, I asked for 300, they gave me 260. They could suck my ass.

[Giannis Papas]

They could suck my. Which is.

[Chris Estefano]

Now I'm mad.

[Giannis Papas]

Well, you know, which is ironic because these were German kids and, and what they did was they.

[Chris Estefano]

Exactly. Yeah, that's what it.

[Giannis Papas]

40 bucks.

[Chris Estefano]

40 bucks. So it's interesting how we all are the same. Yeah, we all are kind of. The enemy that you hate is within you.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, you're there to destroy Jewish businesses, but right there you fucking acted like.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, just running Jewish. Which is, which is great. They're the best business people and it's what it is. But it's interesting that they let these guys in and now, now, now the FBI gets alerted with the head honcho J. Edgar Hoover is running around in his pantyhose.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

Looking for these Nazis. This is true. Looking for the Nazis in his hoes.

[Giannis Papas]

Which is one of my favorite things in history to just sit, just picture J. Edgar Hoover pacing in his penthouse or wherever he's staying at a hotel. He's just pacing in his pumps and his fishnet and he's just seething about Martin Luther King. It's just one of the funniest visuals you can have that's just on the phone going like, we got to do something, something about this guy. He's a revolutionary. And he's just in 6 inch stilettos.

[Chris Estefano]

Well, he's in 6 inch stilettos with fishnets on here looking for German Nazis. So that's just funny to think about. But that is the truth as the truth. They couldn't find them. And what happens is the leader, one of the. One of the Salvators, George Dash was his name. He just decide they would have actually not been found because they, they. This is before cameras and all that. They were infiltrated into New York society. John Dash, though, just decided to betray the mission and he contacted the FBI himself and revealed the plot in exchange for leniency.

[Giannis Papas]

Well, you're leaving out a bunch of details.

[Chris Estefano]

Hell.

[Giannis Papas]

Okay, so there was four in Long island, four in Florida. So Dash Berger and two others, right. They, they, they knew that they had been made right because of this coast guard guy. But then the parts that you left out is they, they swam up on the shore of Long island, right? And if you've never been to Long island in the shore summer, it is gorgeous. Gorgeous. I mean the only negative there is ticks.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

It's the only problems you got to worry about ticks. So then the sun came up and they're sitting there on the beach and they stayed for a little while and they sunbathed a little bit. And then they walked into town.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

And they were like, wow, this is fucking cute. They went and they got themselves a smoothie.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

And there's.

[Chris Estefano]

They went to Tim Dillon's pool party. They said, whoa.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, they went whoa. And then they went to the white party, cuz. And they fucking and had an orgy with P. Diddy.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

And you know, and then they made.

[Chris Estefano]

Dude, if you made a montage and innocent people when you just covered in baby oil sucking Diddy's because you don't.

[Giannis Papas]

Want to send your spies to the Hamptons.

[Chris Estefano]

No, that was the wrong spot.

[Giannis Papas]

They're gonna have a change of heart immediately because it's the cutest spot in the summer.

[Chris Estefano]

It really is.

[Giannis Papas]

It is. It was just too cute. So what they did is they hopped on a train and burger and. And Dash went to a New York City did it right. The place they'd never seen or been. And they were probably just sticking around going wow, wow, look at this. They probably walk through the village. They're like, wow. They probably got a.

[Chris Estefano]

Did you be gay here?

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Wow, look at. Oh my God, the holding hands, guys. Wow. Oh my God, an Italian eyes. They had all this money.

[Chris Estefano]

Vicious Max and Stupid Max and Stubens.

[Giannis Papas]

Cause if we made a video.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

It was Max and Stubens. And if you made a video montage of them, they'd be like fucking doing the same thing we do with smoothies.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

They'd go get a slice. They had a cute, cute day. They went sightseeing. They looked at the Empire stapling and said like look. Yeah, we, we, we can like, if we drop dime and tell them, they'll treat us like heroes and then we'll stay. They'll give us a parade and then we can be free here.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Cuz imagine going from Heidelberg to nyc. Talk about an upgrade.

[Chris Estefano]

They would love it. They have this thing called Mimosa and.

[Giannis Papas]

Then they went to like a five star hotel that loot so they probably stayed at the, I don't know, the Four Seasons or something.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

And they were getting room service.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

And they were like, cuz this. Yeah, we're staying.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

So they went and they dropped Dime and he went. He just spilled the beans. Dash went and him and Burger had an agreement, like, let's just give this whole shit up. They had a change of heart and.

[Chris Estefano]

They gave up the other four. They said, who cares about them? It's for me on you, sir.

[Giannis Papas]

Execute some, but we're going to fucking party.

[Chris Estefano]

Yes.

[Giannis Papas]

And so. But it didn't work out that way, unfortunately. Fortunately, it didn't work out. So they dropped Dime and J. Edgar Hoover took all, all the credit.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, it's just a scumbag thing to do.

[Giannis Papas]

But also I think there's a nice little cute memorial for the Coast Guard kid that in Amagan. Really? Yeah, there's a little memorial that says like this kid did this.

[Chris Estefano]

Where. The spot where they found him.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, where they found.

[Chris Estefano]

Where they, where, where he spotted them.

[Giannis Papas]

Where he spotted them.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

So they, they.

[Chris Estefano]

We should just go throw, throw 300 bones on it, right?

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, we should throw 300 bones on it. Yeah, yeah. Or 260. Yeah. Or no, give him 40 bucks because give. Yeah, yeah. Which was a light bribe.

[Chris Estefano]

It was a light bribe. And I. But you got to do put yours. Because at first I got angry thinking about this kid doing that, but then I was like, if I was outnumbered by three or four Germans, either I'm going to just get the money, I'm getting on the knees and trying to suck for freedom like Paul Revere, because that's what Paul Revere did too. He got caught by the British soldiers and then they just let him go. So the only way you could get through that is if you suck it. Yeah, yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

So six of these eight guys ended up getting the fucking chair. Yeah, yeah, they got the chair.

[Chris Estefano]

Which, that's. If you're going to capital punishment, you don't want to get the chair.

[Giannis Papas]

And those other four guys came up on Florida. I don't know where exactly in Florida.

[Chris Estefano]

But they also get the chair.

[Giannis Papas]

I mean, they got the chair, but those guys also probably had a change of heart as soon as they showed up in Florida. You should have sent them like, I don't know, show up in Oregon coast or maybe.

[Chris Estefano]

Or Delaware.

[Giannis Papas]

Delaware.

[Chris Estefano]

Go to Delaware.

[Giannis Papas]

Go to Delaware.

[Chris Estefano]

Because Most of the 13 colonies are absolutely cute except Delaware. Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Or I don't know, you can't put them in Charleston because that would be Cute.

[Chris Estefano]

I mean, Delaware is cute, too. They have. They have cute beaches there. But, I mean, most of Delaware is just.

[Giannis Papas]

No, thank you. Yeah, Just. I don't know.

[Chris Estefano]

Shores of Georgia, maybe the shores of Newark. Yeah. They could pop down in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

[Giannis Papas]

Oh, yeah. Because.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, it's.

[Giannis Papas]

It's really hard to. To keep thinking that you're the superior people in the superior race if you show up in nyc.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. I mean, you know, and it's just like, you would want to. You would. If you show up in NYC or Florida, it's tough. But, I mean, you're getting pulled out of, like, the Jersey waters by, like, Fireman Ed the Jets fan. You might be like, you know what? I want to kill you all.

[Giannis Papas]

Yes.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

You would have stuck to your mission if that happened. But unfortunately, six of them got to check. And then Berger and Dash, unfortunately, they just got life in prison.

[Chris Estefano]

Oh, they didn't get sent back to Germany.

[Giannis Papas]

No. First they got life in prison, but then. And Dash was upset. He was like, what the fuck? He was like. He was like the guy at the end of Inglarious Basterds who was like, I'm giving myself up. And then they just carved a swastik. It didn't go the way he thought it was gonna go.

[Chris Estefano]

Just what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. But eventually, I think Truman let him go, and he was able to go back to Germany, but he wasn't really welcomed as a hero there.

[Chris Estefano]

They didn't kill him in Germany.

[Giannis Papas]

No, they didn't. He lived out his life in obscurity. He wrote some book that nobody read and nobody cared about him, and he was a nobody.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. Unfortunately.

[Giannis Papas]

Unfortunately, it didn't really work out. They didn't get to enjoy nothing.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. And now look, this case, this was obviously major embarrassment for Germany because the United States used it as propaganda. They said, we caught them. We did this. Look at this. How awful this is. And it set a major legal precedent where it upheld the use of military tribunals for unlawful enemy combat. So. So that meant that, you know, we basically said, you trying to spy in our country, you're going to get killed. And that still holds up to this day. You get caught spying in the United States, you could get murked.

[Giannis Papas]

You could. You could.

[Chris Estefano]

Possible.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Unless, you know, Russia takes you in their embassy or whatever.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. Or less. Or unless you're from Israel, and then you could do whatever you want. Be pedophile. It doesn't matter. You just get extradited back to Israel, and then you just go have fun in Tel Aviv.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, I mean, that's just all you got to do is look, if you are trying to message a 14 year old girl and solicit, this is a real story.

[Chris Estefano]

That's.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. What you want to do when the people come up is you want to go, hello, I'm from Israel. And they go, all right, you know what, we're just going to send you back and you're going to be fine.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Because that's just what happened. Yeah, yeah. And the Trump administration made it happen. So I just want to know what.

[Chris Estefano]

They have on that guy. Yeah, it's just.

[Giannis Papas]

What, it got something on that guy now?

[Chris Estefano]

Because also through our research, one thing I learned is that I always knew about Japanese internment camps. I always knew that Japan was the enemy during World War II. So they would kind of have to round up Japanese and. Because they didn't want any sabotage or spies. But did you know they also did it to Germans? Yeah, didn't know that.

[Giannis Papas]

This is something a lot of people know now. Like about 120,000 Japanese were put into camps. Right, right. And about 11,000 Germans.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

A lot of nationals. A lot of German nationals, but also citizens and whole families were put into camps.

[Chris Estefano]

Camps. Now, it wasn't so bad in Texas too. Crystal Cities, Texas, Texas, New Mexico. Mexico. Stuff that we would not like.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. I mean there was. They didn't even have the fucking mothership. Do you think that could do anything?

[Chris Estefano]

Do you think that's why I don't like, like, because I don't really like the southwestern landscape. Do you think that's probably why. Do you think my ancestors were put in one of these German camps? And it's, and it's a memory that's getting passed down for me. Do you think my mom's. Do you think my grandmother was put in one of those camps? It's very possible because I really dislike the southwestern United States landscape.

[Giannis Papas]

Well, I think more likely is that your grandmother supported the Nazis. So she was a prime target for the FBI to go into that camp.

[Chris Estefano]

It's just what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

So I think that's probably why I.

[Chris Estefano]

Think if I would been one of the 11,000, had I been a young man in the 40s, I think they would have just looked at me and said, he's going in.

[Giannis Papas]

Well, they would have looked at your little box of, you know, memorabilia and.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Seen a ticket to the garden.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. For the Nazi rally. Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

And they would have just thrown you in there. Make no mistake, there was about thousands of kids in there that looked just like you doing this, doing that at the Garden.

[Chris Estefano]

The fact you put.

[Giannis Papas]

That's why you wanted to do the Garden is you wanted to get back into glory.

[Chris Estefano]

That's the real truth is I am doing the theater at Madison Square Garden September 11, just a couple of weeks away. And I really want to do the big one, the arena, because I was just. For goof. I was just going to have that big picture of George Washington that the Nazis had during their rally. I was just going to have that as my backdrop. And if, you know, you know. And unfortunately, the plans got spoiled. I didn't sell enough tickets, so we moved it to the basement.

[Giannis Papas]

But it's not your fault. It's just Nazis aren't that popular yet.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, but.

[Giannis Papas]

But if. If Candace Owens and Jake Shields could say anything about it. You're on your way back.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, we're on our way back in. And I just think that, yeah, the government would. That I had a ticket to the Garden. And also just. They would have said, you know, we only have one or two people who are spending thousands of dollars a month on Lindsay Tarts, and he's one of them. So that. So that we got to just get that kid out of here. And he can have all the Lindsey he wants, but he's got to have him behind this gate when we know what he's doing.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. And here's the thing about the 11,000. The 120,000 Japanese got a formal apology, and they got reparations. I think in 1988, they all got reparations.

[Chris Estefano]

What were the reparations? Did they all just get. Did they all just get $100 gift cards to Hib restaurants? They just gave him a bunch of money for Ari Rangs. Yeah. Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

They got a free companion certificate to Benihana.

[Chris Estefano]

It's what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

They actually only got 20 grand total per person, per family or person. They got 20 grand. I think it was 20 grand each, dude.

[Chris Estefano]

Wow.

[Giannis Papas]

Can't do much with 20 grand.

[Chris Estefano]

Not enough.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, but the Germans got nada. The Germans got nada. And there was this push to recognize what they did.

[Chris Estefano]

I mean, I might bring it back.

[Giannis Papas]

What, for the Germans, the push to.

[Chris Estefano]

Bring back what we did.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, well, I mean, back then, the positives. Yeah. I mean, you got to understand, like, you know, back then, you know, it was. It was a little different back then.

[Chris Estefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

America sprang into action.

[Chris Estefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

Nowadays, I don't think they'd be able to do this if something happens with China. We wouldn't. First of all, the Chinese are trickier but because they live underground and can go invisible, so that's tough to round them up.

[Chris Estefano]

It's tough. Yeah. You can't really get that.

[Giannis Papas]

You could turn into a mosquito or, you know, if we get into a fight with Israel, it's tough to find them if they're in your shoes.

[Chris Estefano]

That's what I think. And actually, this is a real thing that was said. I had a nice little pool party where I invited some of my neighbors from that I used to live next to in Bay Ridge. And there was a nice conversation that we're having in the pool while the kids are having a good time swimming around in a lantern bug, which we've been told by the news to come kill. That's an insect that you have to kill. Delicious.

[Giannis Papas]

Colorful, though.

[Chris Estefano]

They're colorful and beautiful. And one of them landed and got killed. And the. The guy's daughter was like, daddy, why'd you kill that one? He was like, that's one of them lantern bugs I told you about. And then she was like, oh, we have to kill those, right? And he goes, yeah. And then he turns to me with a beach ball and he says, I really. I really think they got. Those are from the Chinese. He goes, I swear to God. He goes. He thinks that. He was like, I think the government's telling us to kill those because I think China let them loosen our country. Country. And either they got listening devices in them, or there's just something from China that's going to kill our plants and it's some type of sabotage. And he really believed that. That those lantern bugs are from the Chinese. And he may actually be right. He may actually even take a step further and say, not only are they from the Chinese, but those are actual Chinese.

[Giannis Papas]

He's not far off, because I think they do originate from Asia. Right. Can you look that up? I think they are Asian and they're.

[Chris Estefano]

A big pest because the government because. And the reason why I think we're being told to kill those is because that is type. Some type of foreign invasion that didn't just naturally come of nowhere.

[Giannis Papas]

No. If you don't think those are some type of Asian spying devices, you got another thing coming.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. I mean, look at that. The spotted lanternfly.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. They're actually cute when they spread their.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, yeah. They look. I don't like watermelon. I don't want to kill them, but.

[Giannis Papas]

They are from Asia and they're a significant pest. So, I mean, you tell me, right? I mean, they're the fentanyl of insects.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

I mean, is it just a coincidence that we got all this fentanyl? We got all. Now they're trying lantern flies. They tried Covid.

[Chris Estefano]

I mean, to try everything they're going to try.

[Giannis Papas]

They tried the MSG for a while. Remember, it was MSG in the food to kill us. They're a little creative.

[Chris Estefano]

They're trying to get a little creative. But you know, I do think. I do think that the Chinese now and you know, it's not like the Nazis, though. The Nazis. I mean, dude, though, if they would have gotten into New York, I would. It just. I just. I take it very personal because it would have. The conflict within my family would have been tough. The Nazis got here now and now what do you do? Yeah, you know, like what. What do you do? It's like when the United States plays Germany in soccer.

[Giannis Papas]

Well, it's tough. Most Germans. Most German immigrants and there was a lot. Millions and millions and millions in the United States.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, my family were a few of them.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Most of them sided with the US Most of them fought in the, you know, guys fought in the army. They were against Germany or whatever. But yeah, there was a. I think it was about 25,000, like Nazis. There was a group, they were called the Bon or Bomb or. Who are the guys who sell that? The Nazis. It was. They were pretty much.

[Chris Estefano]

Much. They were anti Nazis.

[Giannis Papas]

No, they were Nazis. But there was only like 25,000 of them. Enough to sell out the Garden. Which shows you. You just need a following.

[Chris Estefano]

That's all you need.

[Giannis Papas]

That's all you need.

[Chris Estefano]

Well, you know what? Yeah. The America first movement during World War II refers to a powerful isolationist sentiment in the US that opposed American involvement in the war before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Because why would you want. You got to think about it. Put it. Put yourself in today's world. Like the war happening in Ukraine. Like if. If. Yeah, it's just what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

It's just what they do.

[Chris Estefano]

You say you'll never join the Navy, that living on a submarine would be too hard.

[Giannis Papas]

You'd never power a whole ship with.

[Chris Estefano]

Nuclear energy, never bring a patient back to life or play the national anthem for a sold out crowd. Joining the Navy sounds crazy. Saying never actually is. Start your [e-mail] America's Navy forged by the sea.

[Giannis Papas]

So the group was called the Bund Group.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

German American Buns. And they were. They're the ones that sold out the Garden.

[Chris Estefano]

Yep.

[Giannis Papas]

And they did what I couldn't. They did what you couldn't. It was. But you know, it's never. It's never too late to bring it back.

[Chris Estefano]

I just got to bring it back. And here's the. Here's the truth is that we would have never. You got to think about the United States. Why would they want to get involved in a war that was happening over there? Like I said, it'd be like, put yourself in present day. Even though it's horrible what's happening in Ukraine, you're sitting in, you know, Ohio, you're like, I don't want to go to war for that. I don't want to. So that's what World War II was. We didn't really get involved until Pearl harbor made us get involved. And we also didn't declare war on Germany. They declared war on us.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

So we did not pick a fight with Hitler. He picked a fight with us.

[Giannis Papas]

And the Japanese, the same thing. They bombed us.

[Chris Estefano]

They bombed us.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, they bombed us.

[Chris Estefano]

Which we've done episodes on before. We could, you know, look back. You know, our episode.

[Giannis Papas]

Which was a big mistake.

[Chris Estefano]

Big mistake.

[Giannis Papas]

Big mistake.

[Chris Estefano]

Listen back to one of our old episodes about Pearl harbor, about why the United States attacked us. And they just made a big mistake.

[Giannis Papas]

It was a big, big, big, big mistake.

[Chris Estefano]

A bento box. So, yeah, it's what it is.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. So they're. They're. Your effort to try to infiltrate the United States didn't work. And we told you what your history teacher won't tell you. It's because they picked the wrong spot to drop their saboteurs.

[Chris Estefano]

Yes.

[Giannis Papas]

And you just. You're not gonna destroy New York City. If you take one peek at that skyline, you're gonna get inspired. You're gonna throw on Alicia Keys and you're gonna say, you know what? I'm ditching this place and I'm gonna try to make it. Cause a lot of these German kids were just frustrated singers and actors and gay kids.

[Chris Estefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

And this is the place to be if you.

[Chris Estefano]

To be. I mean, if any of these Nazis would have just sat down and watched Gypsy with Tim Dillon, they would have turned their minds around like we did. Okay. Do you think.

[Giannis Papas]

You think. Do you think the two guys. What were their names again? Do you think they went and caught a Broadway play before they hit that hotel?

[Chris Estefano]

Burger and Dash?

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. They might have had. Just had a day.

[Chris Estefano]

Just went in to save Cats.

[Giannis Papas]

Just had a day.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Because I don't think they just came up with that opinion that they were going to drop dime on everybody on the whole operation without having a fucking new York City.

[Chris Estefano]

Do you think that there's video of them just skipping down the street?

[Giannis Papas]

I think if you made a montage of it, it would look like Lavert and Shirley.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, they would hit.

[Giannis Papas]

They probably hit Ellis Island.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

Got an Italian ice. Yeah, they probably skipped around. So. Yeah, they probably went and. They probably went and walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. Which we've done.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, which we've done. They probably just look like a day in the life of the history hyenas taking a stroll.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah. There's no way you're going to want to hurt New York after you spend a nice cute day.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah. I mean, Hitler had to.

[Giannis Papas]

To go. Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

The guy just had to go. And he wound up in Argentina, living United States, supposedly. Allegedly. That's what they say. Because make absolutely no mistake, it always goes back to Latinos.

[Giannis Papas]

Yes.

[Chris Estefano]

And we have one camera. Jasmine is here behind the camera. So just know that the pressure is on. She's here just looking at me. She's dressed up. She's dressed up like. What was like, Legally Blonde. Puerto Rican. She dressed up like Legally Brunette. Respond. We got a mic here. You want to say anything? Okay. Yeah. But she is here and it's just what it is. We've invited her into the History Hyena studio. And now you better just read these names because that was a good episode.

You're a victim of a bad type.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, it was your fault.

[Chris Estefano]

[Giannis Papas]

No, but that was really good. I would have liked it just Queef.

Went for it. Didn't hit. Here we go. Here's the list. Okay.

[Giannis Papas]

Okay.

[Chris Estefano]

Now, Jazz, you want to get involved in picking the name.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

Because you're here as a guest. Okay. I'm just going to look over and see what you're. See if you laugh or not. Okay. Blackhawk down my throat.

[Giannis Papas]

That's got to stay around. Yeah, that's sticking around.

[Chris Estefano]

Okay, so we'll circle that. Yachin yill cleaned off my grill. Cheap labor from across the border.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, it's got to stick around.

[Chris Estefano]

And she's laughing. And now she's laughing despite those being too of her cousin's names. Then we got Yanis's stash of stockings. She likes that.

[Giannis Papas]

It's another good one. Got.

[Chris Estefano]

We keep this.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm telling you, it was a light list, but a tough one.

[Chris Estefano]

Pre teen bean licked clean by Epstein.

[Giannis Papas]

We're going to drex her there.

[Chris Estefano]

Drexer. Because we've had a lot of Epstein, but it is good.

[Giannis Papas]

It's good rhyme scheme.

[Chris Estefano]

And then all balls, no dick.

[Giannis Papas]

That's a great one. Jesse likes that one.

[Chris Estefano]

You like that one to stay?

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah, I'm in a silly mood. That's a goodie.

[Chris Estefano]

All right.

[Giannis Papas]

Silly one.

[Chris Estefano]

So, yeah, four.

[Giannis Papas]

We got it. This is basically like the semifinals, right? We got four.

[Chris Estefano]

So here's the four. Let me read them out. All balls, no dick. Giannis's stash of stockings. Yakin yo cleaned off my grill. Cheap labor from across the border or blackhawk down my throat.

[Giannis Papas]

Okay. All right, let's go one at a time here. Okay. Let's start with the end of the list, because I think those are the weaker ones. Again, this is any other day. It's just unfortunate you were on the list.

[Chris Estefano]

Okay, so the last two are all balls. No dick. And Giannis Estachevsky stockings.

[Giannis Papas]

Those are both good. This is going to be tough. We may have to go to a vote on all four of these.

[Chris Estefano]

Okay.

[Giannis Papas]

And one of the other ones.

[Chris Estefano]

Yakin yo cleaned off my grill. Cheap labor from across the border or blackhawk down my throat.

[Giannis Papas]

Wow.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, wow.

[Giannis Papas]

What do we do here with four winners?

[Chris Estefano]

What do we do?

[Giannis Papas]

Which one you got?

[Chris Estefano]

Jasmine, who's our guest, also represents the Latino community, is saying yak.

[Giannis Papas]

Okay, so we keep that one.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah, we got two.

[Giannis Papas]

We got to get rid of two.

[Chris Estefano]

So I would personally. I would personally. Even though they're very, very funny, I would personally get rid of all balls. No dick. Only because we've had it before in some type of way. We had it kind of in a similar way on the list. And Giannis stash of stockings. We've also had stocking ones before. I just feel Black Hawk down my throat. And Yaniel are unique, but what do you see? What do you. What? That's just one person's opinion.

[Giannis Papas]

Tell you what my, my choice is. Yeah, what's your choice? Blackhawk down my throat. Oh, wow. Going to. Okay, so we're going to dress through the stockings.

[Chris Estefano]

Okay.

[Giannis Papas]

So we're Drex the other day and.

[Chris Estefano]

Drex throwing all balls. No dick. It's.

[Giannis Papas]

We got to dress to those two.

[Chris Estefano]

Okay, so those are out. So now between Blackhawk run off.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

Because now we have one person is picking blackhawk down my throat and then one Hursting is picking yachting hill cleaned off my grilled sheep labor from across the border.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

It comes down to you, Yanni.

[Giannis Papas]

You know what? We've had a. This is a tough one and I, I hate to see blackhawk down my throat.

[Chris Estefano]

Go away.

[Giannis Papas]

Go away. Because we've had so many gay ones. Right. This is what it comes down to is you start going like the uniqueness of it.

[Chris Estefano]

Well, it could be a girl too though, right? That's the other thing. It doesn't have to be gay. Well, what you girl? Only because. Only because, you know, I support the Latino community.

[Giannis Papas]

Yeah.

[Chris Estefano]

I have to go with jockey Yokkindorff my grilled cheap flavor from across the border.

[Giannis Papas]

Look, with either one of those, you can't go wrong. This is one of those. This is one of those like Federer Nadal situations.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

You know, it's like depends on the surface who's better.

[Chris Estefano]

Right.

[Giannis Papas]

Right. So I'm going to just, you know, to honor our guest.

[Chris Estefano]

Yeah.

[Giannis Papas]

I'm going to go with her choice.

[Chris Estefano]
