Giannis Papas
Yo, Chrissy, let's talk about the Moorings.
Chris Distefano
Love it.
Giannis Papas
It is the world's premier yacht charter vacation provider.
Chris Distefano
Oh, I smell a gift from Tom to Burt.
Giannis Papas
They've been in business for over 50 years and specialize in providing guests with private customized boating vacations in select destinations all over the world.
Chris Distefano
I want to take you to Greece, just me and you guys trip.
Giannis Papas
Cause I want to do Santorini.
Chris Distefano
Let's do it. This is the best vacation you've never heard of. And once you try it, it's the only a vacation. From then on, destinations include the Virgin Islands, Bahamas, St. Lucia, Belize, Tahiti, Greece, Italy, Thailand. Oh, now I'm listening. And many more.
Giannis Papas
Because we should actually do this together.
Chris Distefano
Go to Thailand.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, let's. Let's use the more.
Chris Distefano
I want to do that.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, this is great. If you're an experienced boater, you can captain the yacht yourself or you can hire one of our captains to do the work for you. Or you can opt for an all inclusive charter complete with a captain and private Gore may chef for the week.
Chris Distefano
And I 99.9% chance those people, the gourmet chef and the captain are going to be from Guam.
Giannis Papas
Yes. And this is not a cruise. This is a private yacht reserved just for you, your friends and your family. Ideal for a group of up to 10 guests.
Chris Distefano
I love it, dude. The Moorings is how we do this. You rent your own private yacht for a week reserved just for you, your friends and family. And it's more affordable than you think, puppy. This is the world in all its majesty. Authentic and unscripted. By boat you see more and experience the real culture and lifestyle of your vacation destination. No planned excursions nor tour. No tour groups, which I like. I would always go on vacations and plan everything out. And then you really don't have as much fun as if you just go with the flow.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, you just gotta go with the flow of life with radical acceptance.
Chris Distefano
That's what it is. Now, where does your journey begin?
Giannis Papas
It begins@moorings.com and that is if you want to spell it out. M O O R I n g s.com we get here, Tim, how did we get to this point where people.
Tim Dillon
Stopped getting thrown in hospitals? Yeah, you know, you know there was, there was a time in this country where you didn't decide whether you went to the hospital. Someone else decided whether you went to the hospital. And, and I know that because of my mother. And then people, people started to go. You know what you get to decide when you go to the hospital, Right. Sometimes you need a timeout and someone has to give you that timeout. Somebody has to say to you, you're going to take a time out, right? You're going to go to this hospital, they're gonna take your shoes.
Giannis Papas
What's up, everybody? That's Chris, I'm Giannis. And we are not going to prison for doing a lot of bad stuff. Nobody. The only RICO we know is in your house.
Chris Distefano
That's it. Yeah, because rico, that's a good one. I got a couple of family members. There's going to be a couple of rico's in my pool this summer.
Giannis Papas
That's about it. Thank God for that. Thank God for that.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. I mean, because here's the thing, we're going to talk about Diddy a little bit on the page. I mean, the amount. Can you just read off the crimes again? I think a lot of people know did he's fucked. But I don't think you know how fucked. I mean, they got him on. On crimes that are like, what is one of them? Like just basically one of them is just like filming yourself having sex.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. Non consensual. Non consensual porno. I mean, that's the least. I mean, the diddler. He's the diddler. Maybe he changes his name to Diddy because if anyone changes their name, they did something bad, they wanted to reset. Like, you know when Facebook turned to Meta.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
It's like, you know when, when, when what's his name, Bruce Jenner, changed to Caitlyn. It was because Bruce Jenner killed a guy in a car.
Chris Distefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Papas
So when Facebook changed Meta, it was because they were taking all types of money from these Russian farms to promote all this stuff. They were doing all this bad stuff. Kids were committing suicide and all that. And so Facebook just went, you know what? We didn't do that. Cuz we're meta.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
There is no Facebook.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Just like Bruce Jenner said. There is no Bruce Jenner. I'm Caitlyn. Bruce Jenner killed that girl.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. I didn't kill that girl. It's very, very, very, very, very true when the kids just change names. What I am. What is very interesting to me about Diddy is he's been in prison now since the summer with all these. I mean, his lawyer just quit and the kid still hasn't wound up dead or killed himself. So does that tell you that the kid just will never do it or he genuinely thinks he's gonna get out?
Giannis Papas
I think generally black People don't kill themselves. When you look at the stats, it's like, only white dudes like to kill themselves.
Chris Distefano
What do you think? White girls, what do you think it is?
Giannis Papas
Less sun. Yeah, I think we just get less sun.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. So in your household, you're going to be the one that offs yourself, your family, with more melanin. They will stay.
Chris Distefano
They will stay. And I'm going to off myself, too, because make no mistake, I'm getting pushed into a house from Garden City.
Giannis Papas
You don't want to be there. I don't want to. Don't want to be in that house. You want to be a watch.
Chris Distefano
Go back to Staten Island.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. You want to go back to where things are familiar. Yeah. When you said that Chelsea Handler, she looked like, why would you be in Staten Island?
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Because I'm a Republican.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. She was not, I think Chelsea Handler. Who knows when you're going to hear this. The Chelsea Handler episode. We were planning on putting it out next week, but then her PR person said, can you please put this out? March 25th. It's Carla's dispatch all. And I said, okay, but we're probably not going to do it, because the thing is, by the way, I like the PR guy a lot. He shout out Paul from Lebanon. Good kid. But I think that I couldn't tell if she liked us or not.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, I think she liked us. But here's the deal. I don't think she cares. I think she shut off.
Chris Distefano
She is shut off. She shut off, which is a good one that Giannis and I came up with on the phone.
Giannis Papas
It's great.
Chris Distefano
It's shut off. So that just means when you just are shut off, it just means that your personality is shut the fuck off.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. You don't feel too much. You don't really care too much. You're just moving through life and you're pushing people out of the way.
Chris Distefano
Is Diddy shut off?
Giannis Papas
He is shot off.
Chris Distefano
So you don't think. You. Let me ask you this.
Giannis Papas
The lights are off.
Chris Distefano
Do you think Diddy. Do you think the walls close in on him mentally when he wakes up every day in the prison? Or he doesn't care, he's just adjusted his life to being in prison now.
Giannis Papas
I think the walls close in because it's just. That's the one thing he wants to be able to do, is abuse people, and he can't. And now all his freedom to abuse people has been taken away. The kid loves power. That's what got him off. I mean, that's what got him off. And you know what the crazy thing is right before this happened, right before this happened, anyone would kill to go to a Diddy party. He had such a good reputation. White party. Oh my God. I want to go to the Hamptons and be part of the white party. I want to wear all white. I want to be in Diddy's house. And everyone wanted to go. This kid was able to somehow, even though him and J. Lo fucking did they murder a guy or they had a gun or something.
Chris Distefano
I think they killed somebody. Yeah. Shine took the blame, took the.
Giannis Papas
I mean music people just get away with anything.
Chris Distefano
Cuz I gotta be honest with you. It's nice to not be in this world.
Giannis Papas
It's really nice.
Chris Distefano
It's real nice to not be in this world at all. We never even are on the list for these types of things. We will never get invited to this type of shit. And it just feels nice.
Giannis Papas
I just don't even listen to rap music anymore. I just want a big separation between me and the rap world.
Chris Distefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Papas
Bad things happen in the rap world.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Cuz it's nice to just put on old Hitler videos and throw in a little college dropout.
Giannis Papas
Because he has allegations including sexual misconduct, abuse. He's got forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, obstruction of justice, non consensual pornography. I mean the kids shop.
Chris Distefano
Somebody's going to read his, you know, on that first day of court, they're going to read his charges and then the judge is just going to do. Tim Dillon voice. Not good.
Giannis Papas
Now here's what's going to happen. Yeah, Here's a very funny thing. His, his lawyer's name, guess who his lawyer's name was? Anthony rico. Oh yeah, yeah. How funny is that?
Chris Distefano
Is that the kid that quit?
Giannis Papas
The kid that quit's name was Anthony Rico. Which make no mistake is what they got Diddy on. Rico.
Chris Distefano
The RICO act now is Anthony rico. Jesse, if we could pull it up. Anthony Rico. There's been big headlines why he quit and they're trying to make it up like oh, it's because of this, because of that. But the real truth is that there's so much evidence against Diddy that there is no possible way to win. And the kid just walked away.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, because I think what happened is his, his lawyers did, his lawyers tried to get all the house rated evidence that they got. They tried to make it inadmissible at court. I don't think they won. And I think his lawyer goes, if we can't do that. What are you gonna do?
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Cuz. Cuz you know what, you know what happens too, I think with the law is like, if your client is so beyond guilty with this, then you don't want the table start to turn on you.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
You're like, how. You know, here, go, go down a little bit just so we can read. Because it's like, quit the music. His lawyer quit. Anthony Rico filed a surprise motion and withdraws one of Diddy's plan. Six defense attorneys saying under no circumstance can I continue.
Giannis Papas
Yes.
Chris Distefano
So, yeah, scroll down just a little bit. I mean, Meghan Markle, 25 year old Meghan Markle will get banged out.
Giannis Papas
35 year old Meghan Markle, she's hot.
Chris Distefano
Prince Henry will get. Prince Harry will get banged out because he's redheaded. No fumes.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, he's got zero fumes. But she is really, to me, she's very beautiful.
Chris Distefano
I mean, because his kid, Anthony Rico defended terrorists. Yeah, he defended. Look, he said, Said he defended guys who are in Al Qaeda. Yeah. Says having knowledge of someone in Al Qaeda is not a criminal act. Many members of Al Qaeda are not involved in criminal activity. So he was defending Al Qaeda publicly. And he said, no, thank you.
Giannis Papas
That's how did he.
Chris Distefano
That's funny.
Giannis Papas
That's how you know how evil Diddy was and how much evidence there is. He said, I can't continue under any circumstances. And this guy. Fucking.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, he had Muhammad Atta because he defended. He defended the cops that shot and killed Sean Bell in 2008. He was like, they didn't know what they were doing.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. He went.
Chris Distefano
Walked away from Diddy.
Giannis Papas
He went into court law and said, did those planes hit that building? I didn't see it. It was a hologram.
Chris Distefano
It was a hologram. And then the kid. But now he. Oh. It said client privilege prevents him from revealing the details. But Mr. Rico told the court in New York, although I have provided Sean Combs with a high level of legal representation expected by the court, under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs. These are sufficient reasons for brevity in my application for withdrawal as counsel in the case. So will one day we find out what those reasons were.
Giannis Papas
I think I can read between the lines. And I think what happened is they had a meeting in a law office in a private room, and I think Diddy tried to rape him.
Chris Distefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Papas
And he was like, I can't do this.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I don't know if Diddy brought in Justin Bieber said, you want to suck him off?
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You want to suck him off. Now that kid Justin Bieber just doesn't look good right now.
Chris Distefano
Well, he's starting to flip out towards the paparazzi now. The paparazzi have. Have. I just saw an article that said, you know, he was always nice to the paparazzi, always. But now he's being, like, aggressive towards them and, like, yelling at them, because they're probably saying, like, every time they see him, like, did you suck Diddy's dick or not?
Giannis Papas
Yeah, if I was him, I would just get ahead of it and just, like, get ahead of it and be like, look, I'm a kid from Canada. I don't know what's going on. I came to the United States. I said the N word. It's just what I did. And yet Diddy, he used me like a fleshlight. Just come out and say, I was Diddy's fleshlight for a little while.
Chris Distefano
That's what it is.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I mean, I feel bad.
Giannis Papas
The kid does not look great.
Chris Distefano
He doesn't look good. I feel bad for the kid, but how could you? I mean, you're going through the shit whether it's true or not. Just the allegations are enough. And it's one of those things where I'm telling you kids, not that I know, but you don't want to be famous. No. You just really don't. It's so much easier to just have your life be anonymous. It was interesting to hear Chelsea Handler say that she feels, even at her level, she's anonymous because she's got a.
Giannis Papas
She's got, like, that great level. I mean, she's big like Burr. But Burr has that same type of life where Burr walks around. I mean, he took a picture on the gram the other day where he was just walking by himself, and he took a picture of an old cigar store he used to go to. He put it on the grin. He's like, I miss this place. I used to go in there and get a stick a lot. I've walked with Burr on the street, and he gets recognized, but not a lot, right? Even Nate told me it's like, not. It's gonna change now that he's on SNL and mainstream. But Graham K. I asked because Graham K. Opens from all the time. He's like. He doesn't get recognized a lot like you'd expect. It'd be a lot more. But comedy famous, just. It's more your fans. It's more like there's a lot of people who still don't know who Nate Bargazzi is, which is why less and less. But it's not like Justin Bieber or Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck, even Kevin Hart.
Chris Distefano
Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart, who's like, everybody knows.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. It's just like you're gonna walk down the street and you have to always have security with you at all times.
Chris Distefano
But it is interesting, though, because it goes back to black people don't kill themselves. Black people don't handle fame as poorly as whites either.
Giannis Papas
No.
Chris Distefano
When black people are really famous, like, Kevin Hart's not walking around like that.
Giannis Papas
Well, but Martin Lawrence was walking around naked with guns and shit like that. And Katt Williams did do that as well.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, but that's a little thing called.
Giannis Papas
Cr, which the blacks do like.
Chris Distefano
They do that a little more.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
So that offsets it. But if you remove crack from the equation, then the blacks do take fame a lot better.
Giannis Papas
Right.
Chris Distefano
Than the whites. Because I think. You know what it is. You know what I think it is, too? I think that in. Sometimes this is. And this is not just. This is not just like white people look for problems more. Black people look for solutions more.
Giannis Papas
Right. Because their whole lives have been problems.
Chris Distefano
Exactly. Like they feel being born black in America isn't. Its is in itself a problem.
Giannis Papas
That's interesting.
Chris Distefano
How can I find a solution? So when they get rich and famous, like, I found the solution, where white people are like, problems, how do I come up with more problems?
Giannis Papas
They find a big solution. The blacks did. It's called marijuana. Yeah, they love it. Yeah, they love to smoke marijuana.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
They love to get high.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. And I, by the way, I just want to say anyone to anyone who. I know what I was saying. I was talking about, like, the grandiose of being white and saying the solution, and that's not good.
Giannis Papas
No, you can't say solution.
Chris Distefano
I didn't mean it like that.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, you just. There's one. There's one word that goes in front of that that is too close.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, it's too close.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, it's you.
Giannis Papas
If you want to use solution, you got to say a solution. A solution or the specific solution.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
Or the intermediate solution.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, you don't say the word that rhymes with spinal.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, you want to go the. Yeah, you want to go the immediate solution. You don't want to say the word that.
Chris Distefano
Don't say any words in begin with.
Giannis Papas
An F. Yeah, you don't want to say it. You know, when there's two teams playing at the end of The NBA season. There's only two teams left. You don't want to mention that.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You don't want to say that.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
It's the second round solution. It's what it is.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
That's what.
Chris Distefano
Eastern Conference championship solution. Yeah, but it's what it is, cuz. And. Yeah. And so. And so the Kid Diddy. Now the thing is with the Kid Diddy, is he, you know, do you think that. Here's the question. Do you think that somebody like P. Dids, was he going to be a criminal with or without fame, or did fame make him a criminal?
Giannis Papas
That's interesting. He's. He was born in Harlem, 1969, raised by his mother.
Chris Distefano
We're not, by the way, we're not saying that you being born in Harlem automatically makes you a criminal.
Giannis Papas
Not automatic.
Chris Distefano
Not at all.
Giannis Papas
But we're not saying 10% chance more.
Chris Distefano
It just goes a little bit higher. But that's just circumstantial.
Giannis Papas
Circumstantial.
Chris Distefano
Because you could also. If you're born in certain parts of Staten island, you got a 10% chance of going up to be criminal, too, because the Mafia, six or seven. It's. But still goes up.
Giannis Papas
Still goes. Yeah, yeah. So. But here's the thing, okay. He was raised by his mother after his father's untimely death. So no father in the home.
Chris Distefano
Got it? So no father in the home is big.
Giannis Papas
Unfortunately, it's a big Republican talking point. But statistically, it's just objectively true.
Chris Distefano
True, Right.
Giannis Papas
It's just objectively true. When you don't have a father in the home, it's more prone to criminal behavior. Just like if you're adopted, you're more prone to criminal behavior.
Chris Distefano
Either fact, if the father isn't there or the mother rejects you.
Giannis Papas
Yes.
Chris Distefano
That's because adoption is the mother rejecting you big time. That's what they feel. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
That's a big one.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
That's a biggie.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Your mother treated you like the Kembe Mutombo.
Giannis Papas
Now here's it. Yeah. Like this. No, no, no, no, no.
Chris Distefano
Rip to Kembe Mutumbo. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
And if your mother's just. If you have to make the first move on your mom, it's a bad. It's a bad scene if your mother doesn't give you hugs and you got to make the first move.
Chris Distefano
That's not good.
Giannis Papas
That's not good. Now here's another strike that may answer your question. He went to Catholic boys school in the Bronx where. That's where the gay may have came From. That's true.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Wow. Because I almost bought a house in Westchester, was going to send my kids to school in the Bronx.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, you don't want to do that. He went to an all boys Catholic school. That could be bad. And then he later enrolled in Howard University.
Chris Distefano
Great university.
Giannis Papas
Like, just like Sean King. Oh, yeah. Sean King also went to Howard University.
Chris Distefano
Howard University is a traditionally black college. What are they called?
Giannis Papas
It's a traditionally black college. Except for Sean.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, except for Sean King, who's not traditionally black. No.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Sean King is untraditionally black.
Giannis Papas
He's the John Paxton on that team.
Chris Distefano
Yes.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
But. But it is. The Harvard I've been. Is known as. That's Howard. Is the Harvard of the black, traditionally historically black colleges.
Giannis Papas
Right. It's a good school.
Chris Distefano
The top one.
Giannis Papas
But then he dropped out of school before completing his degree. So there's a lot of warning signs here.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
I'd also say wearing sunglasses at all times and also having crosses all over you. I mean, it's like you're deflecting. Right. The kid's got a cross in his earring. He's got. The bigger the cross, the more drugs you deal.
Chris Distefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Papas
What it is.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You're either a fucking deacon or you're a drug dealer.
Chris Distefano
Now, Tim Dillon also wears sunglasses inside all the time, too. So what do you have to say about Tim shut off. He shut off. Tim is switched off. He switched off, yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. So I don't know. But. And then he, you know, he founded Bad Boy Records and he obviously made the Notorious B.I.G. a big star before he killed them.
Chris Distefano
He did kill him now, right? Is that what we're saying?
Giannis Papas
I don't know, but I just have a feeling him and the other guy, Suge Knight, had something to do.
Chris Distefano
Every documentary now is starting to point to that, or there's not every. There's been a couple ones that are saying that he's most likely was involved.
Giannis Papas
I feel like Sean Diddy is the type of guy that's so premeditated and calculated. He probably had the sample from Sting ready to go right before. Before Biggie was even killed. Right. I think he probably cleared it and was like. He had Faith Evans. He was. In his mind. He's like, faith Evans is gonna take the course and it's gonna be a big hit and this is gonna catapult.
Chris Distefano
He knew. He knew Biggie Dead. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Was worth more. And Biggie already had an album recorded, so that was released posthumously.
Chris Distefano
So what a way to promo the New album. And that's what I'm getting worried about with life too. It's like, are these movies so desperate now that they're gonna, like, you know, I'm watching the show on Netflix, Zero Day with Robert De Niro. It's a fascinating show, but it's about how, like, if they turned off the power grid, if planes started crashing with each other, I'm like, are these fuckers now getting so desperate they'll just make real life shit happen to promote the movie?
Giannis Papas
It's a very good.
Chris Distefano
Will they just take down a fucking plane and be like, oh, come see flight two.
Giannis Papas
That's a great point. You know, I've thought of that. With true crime content, right? It's like, true crime content so big. You know, there's some producers going out there, like, going like, hey, kid, we'll take care of your family. We'll take care of everyone. You got stage four cancer. Go out and murder three girls.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
So we can make a documentary just doing it.
Chris Distefano
You just put some weird symbol on your forehead and take a pic. That's it. That's it. And then you're gonna get a cool 20 mil for the fam.
Giannis Papas
You'll get cool 20 mil because they know they're gonna make so much money off the content.
Chris Distefano
Because that should be, by the way. Yeah, I forgot country was doing that. Somebody was doing that. Like, some countries doing, like, if you got, like, with six months to live, they were just throwing you on the front lines of the army.
Giannis Papas
It's a good idea.
Chris Distefano
Glorious way to go. I forgot who it was. I won't remember. Yeah, it was some, like, random nation.
Giannis Papas
Sounds like a. It sounds like a Putin move. That sounds like a real smart strongman move to be like, all right, listen, these guys are going on the front lines.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. James Carville, Democratic strategist. I was just reading this this morning. Said that the Republican Party, Trump's Republican Party, is within six weeks of a full implosion. Why? I don't know.
Giannis Papas
Fighting with each other.
Chris Distefano
Because I was trying to read the New York Times, cuz. And then the words just got too big and it fell asleep. But they. James Carville. But he's saying, like, I know. He said, I know I was wrong about Kamala Harris winning. I know he was, like, saying, I know I was wrong about these things. He said, but in six weeks, it will implode. So that just scared me a little bit when the guy's giving a time frame.
Giannis Papas
Well, you do have, like, different wings of things happening, right? You do have. You see split between Elon Musk and Bannon and Trump and Bannon over immigration. Then you see the traditional Republicans. I was thinking about this the other day, not to get off Diddy too much.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
But the traditional Republicans, because they were all, like, Christian conservatives. Now you have a party that's been taken over by two guys who, between them, one guy fucked the porn star, cheated on his wife. Fuck the porn star. His wife did pose with her tits out. He's got a couple of women. He's got a couple of kids with a couple different women. And then Elon Musk has 13 kids with three different women, one of which.
Chris Distefano
Musk is putting out kids. Like he plays for the Jets.
Giannis Papas
He puts. Because he's putting him out. Like his name's Larry Johnson.
Chris Distefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. Like his name.
Chris Distefano
Antonio Cremon.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. Sean Kemp.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Because he's putting him out like he's a black NBA player.
Chris Distefano
What it is, cuz. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Or he's like. Or he's like Osama bin Laden.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
There's a lot of kids. This ain't your mama's Republican Party no more.
Chris Distefano
The thing with Elon Musk, which is very interesting, I think it's actually, like, looped around for him mentally, because I saw something where, like, financially, he could give each one of his kids $1 billion. And he still has. He still has over $100 billion. So he's good. So he doesn't care about that, and he was just spreading his seed.
Giannis Papas
No, he is totally good. And he's acting like a guy who does not give a fuck anymore. Chrissy, running a small business means you're wearing a lot of hats. We know that.

Chris Distefano
Right?
Giannis Papas
Right. Because there was that guy, Greg Hardy, who beat the out of that woman. He played for the Dallas Cowboys.
Chris Distefano
And the Carolina Panthers.
Giannis Papas
And the Carolina Panthers. And he ended up being an MMA fighter because Dana White will take anybody. But he beat the out of a woman. But there was no video of it.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
Then Ray Rice gave his wife a clean shot.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
It was just a clean straight. Right?
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
And he knocked her out. And his whole career got taken away because there was video of It. And unfortunately for Diddy, he beat the shit out of Cassie. And there was 20 and there was video.
Chris Distefano
And unfortunately. And the two things are this. One, obviously people are in shock that the towel never came off because of the movement. And two, what people are saying.
Giannis Papas
That's what I thought when I was watching.
Chris Distefano
What. Two, what people are saying too, about this. What they said about this is, you know, the hospital. I'm sorry, the hotel held this since 2016. They had this video and they never sent to the. They never did anything with it.
Giannis Papas
And I think it was only 50,000 bucks that he paid off. It was only 50,000 bucks. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
It wasn't a good look.
Giannis Papas
Oh, that's a bad one.
Chris Distefano
This is bad.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, that's bad.
Chris Distefano
This is bad.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Where did he. Now, how come nobody else came out of the hotel? Because does he just rent a floor.
Giannis Papas
You think drags her back. And he paid.
Chris Distefano
That makes me really not like him.
Giannis Papas
It's really horrible.
Chris Distefano
You're like, I really don't like him. And I. You know, because the thing is, is like.
Giannis Papas
So before this, you were on the fence?
Chris Distefano
Well, before, yeah. I mean, before this. Before this, I was bad boy for life. Yeah. No, before that. Not that I was on the fence, but before this. Like, you know, you can make an allegation about someone say this or that you like. Are these people crazy?
Giannis Papas
It smells like a rotten egg.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, it's just what it is. It's Timmy D. But then when you see this, like, the fear in her, like what a puss you said. See, you know what I don't like about it? You see what a he actually is to do this to a woman. You only a would do this.
Giannis Papas
Oh, yeah, of course, you know. Oh, yeah, of course.
Chris Distefano
And when you watch it, even though we've all seen a hundred times, when you watch it, it makes you angrier and angrier.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Every time that he did this.
Giannis Papas
And you know, it would have been worse if he didn't have the towel. Because he's got one hand holding the towel. Right. If he had two hands, it would have been worse.
Chris Distefano
It would have been worse.
Giannis Papas
But this is.
Chris Distefano
He paid.
Giannis Papas
I think he paid off the hotel. How come they didn't get in trouble? It was 50 grand to hold.
Chris Distefano
That's what I mean.
Giannis Papas
Only 50 grand.
Chris Distefano
It was bad. Like, people, you know, people will. That's. I think the hotel come. You know, finally them releasing it is not good.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. So she filed the lawsuit and she's.
Chris Distefano
By the way, a stone cold Yeez.
Giannis Papas
She is pow Pow. Pow.
Chris Distefano
She may be one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life.
Giannis Papas
Truly. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Hands down. Truly.
Giannis Papas
Now she's top. She's definitely top. I think. I think you got to give Jennifer Connelly when she was younger.
Chris Distefano
You sent that the other day. I mean, do you ever see she's got her boobs out in a movie? Yeah. You ever seen her?
Giannis Papas
It.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah.
Giannis Papas
I mean, Cassie, like. I mean. I mean, yeah, someone that hot, you know? Someone that hot. And so she accused him of rape, sex trafficking, physical abuse. And the lawsuit was settled shortly after filing. And then Combs was arrested after that in September 2024, and he was federally indicted on all the charges that we met.
Chris Distefano
See, here's the thing. Is, is. Is for me, once you see video of something, it's very easy to believe all the charges. For me, it's very easy. And I know that the. That technically, quote unquote, isn't fair.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
But it's like only a certain kind of person could do those things that he's accused of. And only certain kind of person could do that. Now, I mean, we've all been mad at our girlfriends and wives.
Giannis Papas
Right?
Chris Distefano
Never done that.
Giannis Papas
No. You know, no, we don't agree with that. And you can't do that. And it's hand, do that. And only, like you said, do that.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. But the worst I've ever done is gotten so mad at my girlfriend that I've walked down the hallway and like punched a door.
Giannis Papas
Right.
Chris Distefano
But to get it out. But it's like to actually physically put your hands on her like that over and over and over again is wild.
Giannis Papas
Right, Right. And it' crazy too, because sometimes your wife will talk to you in a way. Have you ever seen the way a women talk to cops? I mean, they just don't care.
Chris Distefano
They don't care.
Giannis Papas
They just almost challenge you sometimes. Go like, you don't understand.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You don't understand what kind of damage I could do. Yeah. Why don't you adopt a different tone? Because you're putting me in a very bad situation.
Chris Distefano
It's what it is. Because at one time when this video came out, my boys sent me to the group chat. They sent a video of Jazz's head on Diddy and my head on casting. It was a 10 out of 10. It was a 10 out of 10.
Giannis Papas
Now let me ask you, have you watched Paul Sean Diddy comes apology video?
Chris Distefano
No, but I. It wasn't. He says that he didn't do anything. Right.
Giannis Papas
Well, it's very funny. Can you pull up Sean Combs apology video and we see if, if, if, if it's convincing.
Chris Distefano
Let's see.
Giannis Papas
Let's see if it's convincing.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Because it's very funny in the context of just watching that video, watching this, because what do you say after that? Yeah, how do you get out of that? Yeah, do you go like, I dropped something. She dropped something. She was on the floor. I put her back down there to find it.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Like, what do you. How do you get out of that?
Chris Distefano
Yeah, I guess you. Like, here's the video apology. I mean, I hit rock bottom.
Giannis Papas
No, no, I think she technically hit rock bottom.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
My behavior on that video is inexcusable. Right. I take full responsibility. Well, nobody was accusing anyone else Right now, Combs.
Chris Distefano
Yes.
Giannis Papas
So he tried, but there's really nothing you can say.
Chris Distefano
But my thing is, though, if he was really actually so cold blooded, like, like I'm saying, like how people say. Some people say, diddy doesn't give a fuck. He's a criminal. When I even said before, the walls closing in on him. When you see that video of him apologizing, he's actually trying to get out of it. So the walls are closing in.
Giannis Papas
They're closing now. Do you think maybe we don't know. What, What? Have you ever played that trick in a friend where before they get in the shower, you turn. You turn the shower head to them.
Chris Distefano
Getting in a situation where I'm just playing a trick on somebody, it's another guy and I'm in the shower with him. So I've never played a shower trick with a guy. Because the thing is, I say. Here's the thing with me is I say some wildly gay stuff, but then what you say, it's just, it's. It's uncomfortable because it happens. Yeah. Because you're just in the shower with a guy.
Giannis Papas
Have you ever played that trick where someone turns the shower head and then you get in and the water sprays you? Like, what if she did that?
Chris Distefano
What do you mean?
Giannis Papas
And he got really upset. He chased her.
Chris Distefano
Oh, right. I see what you mean.
Giannis Papas
Like what I'm saying.
Chris Distefano
Got it.
Giannis Papas
Like if someone turns it and then you turn it on and it sprays you in your. And you just get upset.
Chris Distefano
I mean, here's the thing.
Giannis Papas
Trying to find something.
Chris Distefano
If we were to go. If that was me and you and you were running out in the towel and I was running out, and you could do that to me because it's just guy versus guy.
Giannis Papas
Right.
Chris Distefano
But the problem is she's a woman.
Giannis Papas
I forgot about that part.
Chris Distefano
Is she the mother of his children as well?
Giannis Papas
No, she's not the mother of his children. She died of pneumonia. Yeah. The same way Floyd. Floyd Mayweather's wife died just of mysterious disease at somewhere like 30 something. They just dropped dead.
Chris Distefano
Okay, so what happened? Sure.
Giannis Papas
That Floyd Mayweather killed this baby's mama.
Chris Distefano
So the. The. Okay, so I've been talking a lot about the Yuka app, which scans different foods and creams.
Giannis Papas
Because you finding every way to bring up the Yuka.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, because I love the Yuk.
Giannis Papas
We're talking about domestic violence, and now you're bringing up the uk well, because.
Chris Distefano
I just would be interested to know of what Diddy's baby oil score gets on the Yuka. If it's. If it's giving people the bone. Yeah. I don't know if it. Get high scores of the Yuka app. Yeah. Now he's. Now Dana Tran, she died.
Giannis Papas
No, no.
Chris Distefano
Kim Porter.
Giannis Papas
Kim Porter.
Chris Distefano
Oh, my God.
Giannis Papas
He has four kids with Kim Porter. Okay, so look up Kim Porter and the cause of death, because the cause of death was very suspicious.
Chris Distefano
It was very suspicious. Wishy.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. Just like Floyd Mayweather's wife. It's a little like what happened.
Chris Distefano
But why does Floyd Mayweather's wife. What does that have to do with D. Did he.
Giannis Papas
Well, because they died in the same way.
Chris Distefano
I see. So it's the same cream.
Giannis Papas
I'm just saying.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, right.
Giannis Papas
I'm just saying. It could have been the same baby oil that was toxic. If you run it through the uk.
Chris Distefano
Put it on the. Because the UK is wild. Do you know about the uk?
Giannis Papas
I do know about these. Are you gonna get it, though? We gotta get them as a sponsor.
Chris Distefano
We gotta get a sponsor. Peggy, if you're listening, get them.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
So by the way, on Reddit.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
On Reddit, people are asking. They think I said Tom Segura gets pegged. That's what I did say. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. You're just gonna have to get as. Did we. Is that on the Patreon or did we. We left it up.
Chris Distefano
People on the. On the Reddit. Thank you to the people who are defending. It's not. But people are saying, you know, for you even posing this question, like, get the. Off the Patreon. That's our sacred space, you piece of shit. Like, people are going after this guy on the Reddit.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
For posting that we. That you. Why would you take something on the Patreon and make it public?
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Who did that? Fucking rat kid.
Giannis Papas
You Know someone posted that where.
Chris Distefano
Keep finding. Keep going if you want, but I'm going to find this motherfucker that while.
Giannis Papas
I tell you, you that this.
Chris Distefano
Here we go. Did Chrissy accuse Tom Segura of getting pegged? This is from. I'm sorry to cut you off, but it's just on the record. Just want to call this motherfucker out. This is from zealous ideal. Maybe 67. You go fuck yourself.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, stop posting shit.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, from the Patriots because people are going, it's a character piece. You're breaking the Patreon rules. All this. They're fucking people going, security. You're breaking the rules. You're a certified ff. Yeah, but then some people are saying it's Tom Segura.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. But it's not Tom Segura.
Chris Distefano
What is, is so sorry.
Giannis Papas
So she died supposedly of low bar pneumonia. This woman, this help. Look at this woman.
Chris Distefano
Healthy, beautiful.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, she's not. People who die of low bar pneumonia are 86.
Chris Distefano
She was 47.
Giannis Papas
She was 47 years old and she got low bar pneumonia.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
And she died. Now can you look up. Now that's just. It's just interesting. Yeah, it's just interesting how she died. Can you look up the cause of death of Floyd Mayweather's baby mama?
Chris Distefano
Floyd Mayweather. Yeah. Babies mama.
Giannis Papas
It was pneumonia.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, right.
Giannis Papas
Cause the death of Floyd, this is gonna take forever.
Chris Distefano
Floyd, babies, mama, mama. There we go.
Giannis Papas
There we go. Oh. So was it. She died of an accidental drug overdose when she was in her car.
Chris Distefano
But people are saying that, that, that could mean a little bit of Diddy juice or.
Giannis Papas
It's just Diddy necessarily doesn't have anything to do with it. I'm just saying there are two suspicious deaths of baby mamas.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
That just healthy, otherwise healthy woman, you know?
Chris Distefano
Yeah. So it just happened. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
And you people just die around Diddy, right? Like Biggie died, right? She died. People just died.
Chris Distefano
The kid did so Diddy. And by the way, Diddy is still. He hasn't even been transferred to like a federal prison. He's sitting in like Manhattan. He's sitting in like a Rikers island style thing, like a bad, dirty jail. Yeah, it's not. And I don't know that he's going to get like. I don't know if he's in solitary. I don't know.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, he's in.
Chris Distefano
Well, he's federal custody in Brooklyn.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, he's still. He's in Brooklyn. So, you know, is he in. Is he in. Is he exposed to the other Inmates. Because they're gonna get at him.
Chris Distefano
He's gonna. I mean, he would get killed in jail. Do you. Are you surprised how long he's. How he's still alive? Are you surprised?
Giannis Papas
It must mean that there's nothing crazy. There must be no politicians or something like that.
Chris Distefano
Right?
Giannis Papas
It's gotta just be like actors or something. Cause if it was politicians, the kid would be fucking dead. As Jeffrey Epstein in. Right, right. So it's like, what are you looking at? Just. I'm laughing at. They posed the question on how many followers he's lost.
Chris Distefano
Interesting.
Giannis Papas
He still has 3.6 million followers on social. So he's lost a million.
Chris Distefano
So it's like, whatever. Yeah, yeah.
Giannis Papas
So did. He also has over 1 million fake accounts that he can no longer.
Chris Distefano
Oh, like bots. Yeah, right.
Giannis Papas
Other artists who lost following during the purging.
Chris Distefano
What celebrities unfollow. Diddy is a good one.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. LeBron James, Patrick Mahomes, and Steph Curry.
Chris Distefano
Chose publicly stay, probably most likely at the parties. Yeah, well, they said LeBron was.
Giannis Papas
LeBron's been at the parties.
Chris Distefano
But what are you gonna do?
Giannis Papas
What are you gonna do?
Chris Distefano
You would all. We would all go. If we. If we were invited five years ago, we would have went.
Giannis Papas
Well, I think he's. He had two parties. He had the first one, and then the freak offs were later that night.
Chris Distefano
Right. Which we. I wouldn't have been able to stay awake. We're kids that can't stay up, though.
Giannis Papas
No, I would have been able to make.
Chris Distefano
So we would have been protected. Even if we got invited to the second one, kids, we would have been.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Because we want to wake up early. We want to go look at museums.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, yeah. Jennifer Lopez, interestingly, was involved in that shooter thing, Right.
Chris Distefano
Because that was Also died. And she was connected. Right. This is Aaliyah, right? Is that in the middle? Is that Aaliyah?
Giannis Papas
That is Aaliyah.
Chris Distefano
So she also died, but she died.
Giannis Papas
In a plane crash. But who knows?
Chris Distefano
But that's the thing is when you start to. It's like when you start to see these videos, you start to say, how much was he involved with or not involved with? I don't know.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, Well, I think JLo. Did she hide the gun for him or something like that?
Chris Distefano
She's also a stone cold piece. A leaf jlo. And Aaliyah was a stone cold piece.
Giannis Papas
Stone cold. Stone cold. She. She did something too, where it was like, JLo, what's going on? But, you know, it just. The music industry, they just. It's just too much money. Yes, it's too much. These people make too much money. That's why I think Diddy was able to get away with. He was getting away with this for decades.
Chris Distefano
The thing is too, like the government and all that, I really believe at the highest levels, they don't want these people going down and getting arrested because they are using them to, like, get their messages out through their art. So they don't want. Actually, I don't know that they love that Diddy's in jail, but it probably was so big and so bad that they had to just sacrifice one to save the others.
Giannis Papas
You make a good point. Because when you think about Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg also was on trial for murder, and he got acquitted.
Chris Distefano
Yep.
Giannis Papas
And now he's at the Olympics.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
So it's like, maybe they just say to you, hey, look, you're gonna work for us now.
Chris Distefano
Sure.
Giannis Papas
You're gonna work for us now. You're gonna do a positive message. You're gonna say. We're gonna say. You're gonn it. We want to. We want to calm your community down a little bit.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
So maybe they do that.
Chris Distefano
I think that there's a lot of truth to that.
Giannis Papas
There could be.
Chris Distefano
And I wonder if it's one of those things where Snoop Dogg and the powers that be like that, don't they? Snoop Dogg and those guys, they've never even spoken to about it. They're like, it's just the powers that be are kind of orchestrating it behind, like, little puppets, and they're saying, this is what he's going to do.
Giannis Papas
Now, I think 100% that's true.
Chris Distefano
And they're not like you would talk to soon, but no one's ever approached me like that at all. But in the background, it's all being.
Giannis Papas
Orchestrated because think about it, dude. Ice T. Remember Ice T? He was making all those albums about cop. He made a song called Cop Killer. It was massive. And then the next thing you know, he's just a neutered actor playing a cop.
Chris Distefano
On Law and Order.
Giannis Papas
He played a cop?
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
After doing Cop Killers. So they just go, we're gonna neuter these people.
Chris Distefano
What it is.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, it's. You're just gonna neuter them to calm everyone down.
Chris Distefano
So I mean, they're saying some people said that that's why Ben Affleck and JLo got a divorce, too, is because.
Giannis Papas
Did he?
Chris Distefano
Because Ben Affleck knew what was coming and he wanted to get away. That also is conspiratorial. Could be Bullshit.
Giannis Papas
But yeah, I mean, listen, this stuff comes out and you're, you're, you're married to this woman, you're going like, you know what?
Chris Distefano
I got to be honest.
Giannis Papas
I got a tough enough time not drinking booze.
Chris Distefano
I got to be honest with you. There was, I think at some point, years ago, a part of me that maybe like even did get into comedy in 2010, 2011, like 2010, it be like, I want to be famous, I want to get invited to all this stuff. But I am very thankful that the career, like, I'm old enough now to know what I want and know that I don't want to actually ever get to these levels where I even ever know these people.
Giannis Papas
I think there is a level where you gotta, you have to do something.
Chris Distefano
Like, you know, I don't want to do it.
Giannis Papas
You know, when you join the mob, you gotta like show that you're.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You know.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
That you're cool.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You got. Are you cool?
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Because like when these people get a lot of money and fame and stuff. Stuff, Ordinary life stuff, doesn't get them off anymore.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
And so they do crazy stuff. And if you're going to be able to see their crazy stuff, they want to know if you're crazy.
Chris Distefano
Right. Right.
Giannis Papas
Are you cool?
Chris Distefano
Are you cool? Are you willing to do some stuff?
Giannis Papas
So you can't rat on me and I can't rat on you. Are you cool?
Chris Distefano
Because I think that's what happened with Epstein's island. Right. There was just, it was just them getting people, good, normal people to not even know that they were getting massage or having sex with 16 year old, 17 year old girls. Some did, I'm sure, but they didn't know know. And then they have video of them and now you're just under their thumb.
Giannis Papas
And here's another thing, you got to.
Chris Distefano
Be famous enough to get invited to those things first.
Giannis Papas
And here's another thing. When you're that famous and you're making that much money and there's that many advertisers that are sponsoring your programs or whatever it is, they need to know that you're not going to go rogue.
Chris Distefano
Got it?
Giannis Papas
They need to know that you're just. They don't like independence. They don't like that. Like, oh, I have different feelings. I want to say this. Like, no, that's not what we can. You can't do that. That. So we have to have something on you that makes you know that you can't go rogue.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You gotta just work for us.
Chris Distefano
You Gotta work for us. And it's good to just be within your means and just say, you know what I just want to do. I do my comedy as art. Some people may call it spoken word. And that's just what I do. I do my spoken word poetry on as my art. And I. Because what Chelsea Handler, which you may hear that episode next week, you may hear it in March. It depends what we decide to do. But she did say that there are so many people right now that would do anything to be famous. And I'm telling. I. You and I do not have that in our brains.
Giannis Papas
No, not.
Chris Distefano
Not do anything. I wouldn't do anything to do it.
Giannis Papas
Right.
Chris Distefano
Because it scares me more. It's fame now definitely scares me more than it calms me, it scares me.
Giannis Papas
Right. The. The closest I've come to. Have you ever, like, you've met a lot of people in the industry? Sure. Has anyone ever, like, given you the willy willies?
Chris Distefano
Not the willies. Not the willies. But I do feel that there was a time where I feel like I was invited to a party with a couple of like a listers that I. Not a party. They were just in a hotel room and I went and I felt that, you know, they were all wearing the same, like pajama zip ups and I felt like. And they made me put a pajama zip up on. And I did. Cause it was fun or whatever. And then, you know, like, I had to go. I had a show. It was in Vegas. I had a show show. So I was only there for 20 minutes, but I did feel like, why was everyone wearing the matching zip up pajamas?
Giannis Papas
Are you cool? That's what they were saying.
Chris Distefano
Like, are you willing? And I jumped that on.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
But that's it. And then I left. But I was like, what was I like, what was the point of the zip up? Because in the moment, you're not even thinking about it. But then it wasn't until I texted the pic to my boys, they were like, why are you in this Illuminati ritual?
Giannis Papas
Right?
Chris Distefano
And I was like, what are you talking about? They're like, you're in. Why are you all wearing matching zip up shit.
Giannis Papas
Right? Right.
Chris Distefano
And I was like, huh?
Giannis Papas
They do stuff like that, I think.
Chris Distefano
Yes.
Giannis Papas
Like, it could have just been fun. Could have been like, hey, we're having fun.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Or it could have been like, this is the. This is the first thing we ask you to do to see if you comply.
Chris Distefano
Right?
Giannis Papas
And then little by little, into it, it goes you into it. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Because you think there are people who would. Who are out there who would say, if you just do da, da da, which is, you know, is illegal, we'll make you. Will put you in the movies.
Giannis Papas
They will do it to you. Why? It's important. It makes absolute sense.
Chris Distefano
But they would do. You're saying there' live right now. That would. No doubt about it, do it.
Giannis Papas
We'll do it.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. And I think when you're in a position where you're a little naive to what that means, you do it. And sometimes I think often you do it. A lot of people do it unknowingly.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
So you're like you're hooking up or whatnot, and you just don't know you're being filmed or you don't know it's been set up for you. You know, if they really got their eyes on you and they want to make you into something very commercial, they need to know you're not going to go rogue. There's too much at stake.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
They need to know that you're in control. You can't say certain things. Everything has to be within.
Chris Distefano
Do you think that's the old Hollywood? But do you think with Hollywood losing some of its power and cachet now, do you think it's still going to be like that moving forward?
Giannis Papas
I think Hollywood will always be like that. But Hollywood has lost its grip on.
Chris Distefano
Power on because of social media and the Internet.
Giannis Papas
Because of the Internet. People only really get famous on the Internet now, no matter which way you slice it. You know, it's like, you know, you're invited to the party. It's all people who've gotten famous on.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, if we're talking about specifically fame, it's just the Internet. You can still make money.
Giannis Papas
Yes.
Chris Distefano
In the industry. But if we're talking about fame specifically, you are correct.
Giannis Papas
It's the Internet that makes you think. This episode is brought to you by Lifelock. During tax season, your personal info travels to a lot of places between payroll, your tax consultant, and the IRS.

Chris Distefano
Only.
Giannis Papas
Now, the only person that I remember meeting who really, like, gave me the willies was Mark Burnett.
Chris Distefano
Who's Mark Burnett?
Giannis Papas
He does Survivor. He.
Chris Distefano
Oh, yeah, okay.
Giannis Papas
He did the Apprentice.
Chris Distefano
So what gave you the willie?
Giannis Papas
Met him in Vegas. I met him in Vegas.
Chris Distefano
How long ago?
Giannis Papas
This was years ago. This is, like, beginning of comedy. This had. I met him. It had nothing to do with comedy. Comedy. I was with this kid.
Chris Distefano
Yes, Okay.
Giannis Papas
I was with Mike Brillstein, legendary manager. His son.
Chris Distefano
Okay.
Giannis Papas
His son. I was with his son. And we were just like, there. And I. We. They were there for something. And Mike knew him. He said hello to Mike and then he said hello to me. And Mike was like, he's a comedian. I was starting out and just the way he looked at me. He's just like a shark. It was just like. And he looked at me, like, intently. I don't know whether he wanted to eat me, right?
Chris Distefano
Or. But he were a handsome kid.
Giannis Papas
I don't know if it was that. I don't know if it was that, but it was just this look of. It just gave me the. He was shaking my hand and the eye contact was so strong and it stayed for so long. It was like he was reading my whole person. He was just. I don't know what it was. Maybe he was coked up. I don't know. But his eyes were just, like, cold.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
You know, And I think it makes sense. I mean, the kid was a nanny. He was. He was a nanny in Hollywood. And then somehow he became the. This one of the massive producers in.
Chris Distefano
The industry, and he's still a massive producer.
Giannis Papas
Gotta be. You just gotta. And think about the type of personality you have to have to start out as a nanny in Hollywood and then pitch a show that's going, hey, this is the type of personality you got. You got to be a little shut off to go, I got a great idea. We take all these people, we put them on an island, we deprive them of food and see if they turn into animals and if they kill each other and whoever can live and doesn't die.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, he wins. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You know, someone who comes up with that idea, you're going, this kid's a little shy Also, too.
Chris Distefano
People also got to talk about, like, if you want to be a contestant on these types of shows, Survivor or. Or the Bachelor, Bachelorette, you got a leaky roof. You got a leaky little bit of a leaky roof. You got a leaky roof. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
I think you got a leak in your roof. I mean, it's just. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Cause like, and we do stand up comedy and our roofs are a little less leaky than these people.
Giannis Papas
I said dribble hit in the kitchen.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
There's a dribble of water. I do have a pot out. You do hear a ting, ting, ting, ting. There's a water drip. Yeah, yeah. When it rains out, it's no good.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. I mean, you threw on, you know, chancletas from the 99 cents or the wig. So we. Leaky roof.
Giannis Papas
We got leaky roof.
Chris Distefano
Leaky roof.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. And nobody who sees the Morisa or Pano's videos goes, this guy is 100%.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
Like just one of the sanest guys to talk to.
Chris Distefano
Right. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
I got a leaky roof.
Chris Distefano
Right. I've moved nine times in eight years. My. I got a leak.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got a leak.
Chris Distefano
I got a leak.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
But we're still in more control than I think. If you want to be a contestant on these shows, there's just some type of insatiable need to be like, look at me.
Giannis Papas
Yes.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
I think it's probably no different than what we got a little bit.
Chris Distefano
But at least could ours be considered art a little bit though. Like, we have quote unquote talent 100% as opposed to put a camera on me, me and let me survive on an island.
Giannis Papas
100.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. You make a good point. Yeah, yeah. If you're signing up for that show. Yeah. If you're signing up for sure.
Chris Distefano
Like, why do I have a talent?
Giannis Papas
Yeah, we do have a talent. Yeah. We're doing this because we have a talent. We're not just doing this.
Chris Distefano
No. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
People told us we were funny and we're doing.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. I didn't. The first time. For the first five years of my career, there were no cameras on.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I just was doing comedy because I love to do comedy.
Giannis Papas
Yeah. I mean, I was a class clown. I got suspended from schools, got kicked out of school.
Chris Distefano
Going to do this in many ways.
Giannis Papas
In some ways it was just only thing I could do.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
So you do make a very valid point. If you do sign up to see if you. If you live on an island and.
Chris Distefano
Have people film, it's what it is.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I mean, the kid's got a net worth of a cool 385 schmill to 500 schmilt.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
He's.
Giannis Papas
He's definitely a very rich man.
Chris Distefano
I mean, a kid made some fucking money.
Giannis Papas
Huge money. He also is responsible for the man sitting in the White House, Donny Tate. Absolutely, dude. Without the Apprentice, Donald Trump does not become a national celebrity.
Chris Distefano
Now, are Mark Burnett and Donnie T. Still cool?
Giannis Papas
Probably, but Mark Burnett created the Apprentice, and the Apprentice was a big hit. And the Apprentice is what exposed Donald Trump to the country. I mean, that's why he got elected. Before that, he was a New York celebrity.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, we knew he was. I knew him from Eddie. That movie Eddie with Whoopi Goldberg.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, he was in.
Chris Distefano
He had a couple of roles.
Giannis Papas
He was a gossip collar billionaire. He wasn't like a. He was on Howard Stern a few times, but he wasn't like a nationally known, like, celebrity.
Chris Distefano
Right, right.
Giannis Papas
This made him a celebrity. Mark Burnett made him. Him a nationally recognized celebrity. He made the heartland fall in love with them. Before this, he was known by, like, Russell Sim. He was hanging out with rappers and sort of a gossip.
Chris Distefano
I think Mark Burnett, even behind the scenes during the initial presidential campaign, might have been helping Donnie T. With.
Giannis Papas
I would not be surprised.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Giannis Papas
I would not be surprised. Yeah. There's just a whole world out there that me and you are not, because.
Chris Distefano
Timmy Dillon just walked in. So we're going to.
Giannis Papas
We'll have to get back to this.
Chris Distefano
We're going to get back to this. Come on. Tim Dillon is here.
Tim Dillon
Yes. Frigate. What is. What was Chelsea coming on to promote her stroke?
Chris Distefano
Yes.
Tim Dillon
What was she.
Chris Distefano
Her book. Her special on Netflix. Oh, good. Another.
Tim Dillon
Another book. Those readers in this country.
Chris Distefano
That's what Jesse was saying, too. Jesse, who the fuck is actually reading the book?
Tim Dillon
Yeah, Well, I mean, her first book. I've read her first book was very funny.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
The Horizontal Life book. And she's a great comedic writer for the first book. I don't. I didn't. There's more books. I haven't read them.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, there's never matter.
Tim Dillon
Saw her on a flight from New York to la. Lovely woman. Hard worker.
Chris Distefano
Yes.
Tim Dillon
Would me and her get along?
Giannis Papas
Right?
Tim Dillon
I don't know.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
I don't know.
Chris Distefano
She was. She was kind of cool. She was cool, but she was kind of just. It was one of those things, like, it felt like, you know, you make a joke like Giannis. I forgot you made some joke about like. Like, security guards or something like that. And she was like, no, there's no security guards on a mountain. Of course not. Yeah, something like that.
Tim Dillon
She's rich.
Chris Distefano
She's.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, she's rich. She's a little shut off.
Tim Dillon
She snatched off. She's been rich for a while. God bless her. You know, she's earned her money.
Chris Distefano
It's what it is. So now we got Timmy D in here. Timmy D back in New York.
Giannis Papas
She would never have you on Chelsea lately. You're not her type of gay is what you're saying.
Tim Dillon
No, no, I, I don't, I don't think me and her would have a great time.
Giannis Papas
Time. Right.
Tim Dillon
Together.
Giannis Papas
But it would be fun to watch.
Tim Dillon
Yeah, I mean, I, I, I tend to view things differently than she does.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
That's just the only night. It's the only way to say it, really. It's the only nice way to say.
Giannis Papas
Right.
Chris Distefano
You do feel like you're in trouble around people like her. Like, like the people who are, like, very, very, very progressive. You always feel like you're with comedy like you do. I did feel during that episode, even though she was very nice, I feel, I felt like I'm one more word away from doing something like stepping on a landmine I didn't even know I was stepping on. Like, I offended her in. I don't even fucking know how she's.
Giannis Papas
She'S set in her way. She said she thinks that the, that Roe v. Wade got overturned because of the MeToo movement and it was causal and I was going. I'm not, I don't see the.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, here's the thing.
Tim Dillon
It's just, you know, you will never be able to explain to someone like crack her that there are people in America that are not in favor of abortion.
Giannis Papas
Right.
Tim Dillon
You just won't be able to explain it to her. It'll be a conspiracy. It'll be. Now, I'm not one of them, by the way. I'm pro choice, but I know many of them.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
I grew up with them.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Long.
Tim Dillon
And they're. And they are against abortion.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tim Dillon
So it's not a conspiracy to say that Roe v. Wade. What now? I, I think that more Americans probably are pro choice and pro life. And you're seeing that with the states that are ratified find abortion in their state constitution and stuff like that. But there's a significant amount of people that disagree with her. I think the problem with the posture that people have on some of those issues is, like, she thinks that no one's disagreeing with her. They're either misinformed or they've been bamboozled or taken advantage of. No one can have a real fundamental disagreement with her because she has a house in Mallorca. So, no, you know what I mean? No one can really disagree with her. They've all just been right. Kind of fed a bunch of bullshit and, and you know, so that's my thing. I'm. I'm all like, you can disagree with me.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tim Dillon
I believe you can have a different opinion than I do. It doesn't mean you're wrong and it doesn't mean you're stupid and it doesn't mean you're misinformed.
Chris Distefano
Right, right. Yeah, I get it. I get it, man. I mean, fucking. Oh yeah. We were talking about this before you. As soon as you walked in. That guy James Carville is going nuts saying that the Democrat, the Trump's republic is about to implode in six weeks. Weeks.
Tim Dillon
No one should listen to any of these people. And I'll tell you why.
Chris Distefano
Tell me.
Tim Dillon
They, they have destroyed their party. Until they evict all of the Democrats and replace them with new people, they're going to be fucked. I like a lot of what he says.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tim Dillon
But his whole thing now is going, well, let's just wait till they implode. They haven't yet. Yeah, they haven't. By the way, you can find examples of him saying things like that during the campaign.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tim Dillon
The wheels are going to come off.
Chris Distefano
And he said Kamala was going to win.
Tim Dillon
Right.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
So they're all, at the end of the day, they all say the same shit and they need to just throw people over the overboard and get new.
Giannis Papas
People now that, now that the, the, the sales have definitely switched. Yeah. And the wind is coming in another direction. Yeah. Does alternative comedy come back and become huge again?
Tim Dillon
Unicycles are back.
Giannis Papas
Yes.
Chris Distefano
Yes.
Tim Dillon
Unicycles are back. You're gonna see a lot of cabaret.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
You're gonna see a lot of top hats and handlebar mustache. As you should.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. You're gonna hear a lot of comments going, you know what's weird? Yeah, they always say that. Yeah, this is weird.
Tim Dillon
It should. And, and it should though. That's the thing. It like should counter culture. There was a lot of funny stuff in that world that, that. And there was a lot of unfunny stuff.
Chris Distefano
But like, the bottom line is we're not doing shows at sesh comedy.
Tim Dillon
No, it was just cold. I mean, it's a great venue, but I was cold because they didn't have a heater in the non green room.
Chris Distefano
I did a show with Tim. Tim did it. Tim Dylan and friends at this place.
Tim Dillon
Because I wanted to go back in time and Go like, remember what it felt like to do, like, the old school rooms and.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. You know, and it was funny just standing down there with them because. Standing there with Tim because it was freezing. Goes. You know, I don't remember being at an open mic and getting pneumonia.
Tim Dillon
Yeah, it was no heat.
Chris Distefano
But it's true.
Tim Dillon
It's a great venue for younger people. And I. I just. You know, for me personally, I do like the stand. I do like to be treated nicely.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
They do have a kitchen. They cook good food.
Chris Distefano
You like to get a nice little salmon.
Tim Dillon
Well, you know what it is, is it's the stand. If you know anything about the stand.
Chris Distefano
This.
Tim Dillon
It reminds me of what New York used to be. The city used to be run by overweight criminals.
Chris Distefano
Yes, yes.
Tim Dillon
And it was run by overweight criminals. That's what you don't understand. Like, when you see Gangs of New York and you see who's the star of that. Daniel Day.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tim Dillon
But in reality, he would be £400.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Tim Dillon
Like, Boss Tweed was the size of a car. And that reminds me, I like to stand because I like that. And I like that they charge me a crazy amount of money for my birthday party. I said, I just want pizzas, and they got an ice luge and a sword swallower. I took all the money. Yeah, I like that.
Chris Distefano
I like.
Tim Dillon
I think it's good. I think it's good because they say.
Chris Distefano
We did a show over the head.
Tim Dillon
No, here's the thing.
Chris Distefano
We did a show. We did a show for them two months ago. They completely. 100 lost the footage.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
They charged us in full. And they. The show was two months ago. We still haven't gotten the money.
Giannis Papas
Still have not.
Chris Distefano
So. But we weren't. We were sending invoice that we're not. You're not getting a discount. Even though we lost the entire film footage. You're paying in full and you'll get your money when you get.
Giannis Papas
I don't know how they pay for. Do they own the building? They may own this building.
Tim Dillon
No one knows what's going on at.
Chris Distefano
All, which is great. Yeah. What was a better time in New York City history specifically, than the 80s and the 90s when it was fully run by the mobs?
Tim Dillon
It should be.
Chris Distefano
And it should be. And, you know, people there was very. I know. In amongst the mobsters, I get that. I understand one side of that. But in the neighborhoods where the mobsters lived, no crime, no problems. Everybody was, okay.
Giannis Papas
Well, they. They have a monopoly on the crime.
Chris Distefano
But. But they're not committing crime again. Your mom could walk down the street. That's right.
Tim Dillon
And that's what I like about the stand. They're not robbing everyone in the neighborhood. They're robbing us. They're robbing the people that walk into the building. So that's what I like.
Chris Distefano
That's what I thought.
Tim Dillon
Like, they're not just grabbing an old lady. They're like, no, no, come do a show here.
Giannis Papas
Where's the money?
Chris Distefano
No, no, Tim Dylan's making some cash now. Let's squeeze him, let's get him. Let's get the sword swallow. He won't even notice.
Tim Dillon
I get it and I appreciate it. I like it.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Giannis Papas
You're always going like, I don't even know.
Tim Dillon
There's so many rooms here. There's people. I don't know what any of them do.
Giannis Papas
Nobody.
Chris Distefano
No, no.
Tim Dillon
I have no idea what any of them are doing.
Giannis Papas
They don't know what they're doing.
Chris Distefano
I don't know what they're doing. I just know I'm getting an invoice every week and I'm paying it up.
Tim Dillon
Dude, there's people, there's women with just sitting there eating salad quietly and going back to work.
Chris Distefano
It's what it is.
Tim Dillon
You got to know what they could be doing.
Chris Distefano
I haven't heard at the stand in three years, but yet I've been advertised every week. And I. So. And that's just what is. You just pay the people. Just deal with it.
Tim Dillon
It's old school.
Chris Distefano
It's just old. Yeah. You got to respect that. And then. And then Chris looks at you and says, why don't you come do his podcast? And guess what? I did it.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Here.
Tim Dillon
It's smart.
Giannis Papas
Well, I mean, the city now New York City, is kind of being run by one of those Venezuelan migrants. Yeah, well, that's changed a little bit.
Chris Distefano
Oh, yeah?
Giannis Papas
Yeah. I mean, yeah, I was in. I was in. When I was in Arizona, I was in Phoenix. I was like, what's different around here? Oh, this place got a little more white.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah.
Giannis Papas
Disappearing. But now our. Maybe a mayor is a little bit of a criminal.
Tim Dillon
No, Eric Adams is a fun guy. I prefer those two words.
Chris Distefano
I like that.
Giannis Papas
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
And I don't know what he did that was even that bad. He got what he get upgraded. A flight in Turkey, first class flight tickets.
Chris Distefano
It's one of those things that I was telling him. A friend of mine, by the way, Eric Adams, history hyenas alum, he was on the show in 2020, so that should Be your first thing. So. But he said he got upgraded on a flight to Turkey, which I was saying a friend of mine who's, you know, been a cop for 20 years said, when the powers that be want to come down on you, all of us have committed crimes. We don't even realize our crimes. It's just.99.
Tim Dillon
This is the thing. Like, this is the problem. Like, everybody's going around and going like, Trump inflated the price of a condo and Eric Adams got airline ticket. And you go, guys, is this all you got?
Giannis Papas
Right?
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
If this is all you got, this is not good. These are weak cases.
Chris Distefano
It's not. Yeah.
Giannis Papas
I think he looked the other way on a fire code on the Turkish embassy, and then in exchange that they. I gotta be honest, got him a flight.
Tim Dillon
Yeah, I mean, no one cares.
Giannis Papas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tim Dillon
I mean, no one cares. Like, if. If it. To me, that's a fine.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tim Dillon
If you look the other way on a thing, it's a fine. I mean, the Turkish embassy didn't burn down with a bunch of people.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
I mean, you of all people shouldn't care what happens to the Turkish embassy.
Giannis Papas
No, no, no, no. We actually made a joke about that. I was like, look the other way on the fire coat on that actually set a fire. Put it to.
Chris Distefano
By the way, nobody cares either. I bet you Anthony Weiner can get reelected. Andrew Cuomo is looking like he's going to be the May. If he. If he comes out. So it's like, people don't give a shit.
Tim Dillon
It's the criminal, you know?
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tim Dillon
It's really the criminal, you know? Now, Donald Trump was a criminal. We knew. Yeah, he's like, we know him. He's. He's a little shady. He got. He has things. But it's America. We're a little shady. We've got stuff.
Chris Distefano
We're the war clan. There's. There's a lot of stuff I saw. Now they're saying that Trump is. And Trump's family are Russian assets, and they always have been. And that's what we should be really weary of.
Tim Dillon
I mean, it's just a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It didn't work. It doesn't work. It doesn't make sense. Imagine being Russia and going, one day, this guy who's at WWF is going to be the President of the United States.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
So we're going to recruit him.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tim Dillon
And then follow this unlikely political career to where he. It just doesn't make sense. I don't think I think he likes Russia.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tim Dillon
I think he does. Has business in Russia. I think he respects Putin. I think he respects strong leaders. Whether you think that's good or not, I think he does have a relationship with him and respects him. Is he a Russian asset? I don't really know. There's nothing in the first term of his administration to signify that he was a Russian asset.
Giannis Papas
