Hello everybody and welcome to the Derek Hunter podcast.

You've made it to Friday.

I am your guest host, Dean Carriannis.

Thank you so much for listening this week.

Thanks for the kind emails and the tweets that I've gotten at History Dean on Twitter.

And you can also read me most often at the New York Sun at nysun.com.

Thanks for supporting me there.

As promised, another episode of one and a half Greeks.

I am the one Greek and the half of Greek is George Cocoa Prius.

My long time, I don't even know what to call him. He's kind of a brother except that he's not

fully Greek, so he can't be. But George, welcome to the Derek Hunter podcast.

Hello, Dean. Thanks again for having me. I am half Greek. You're right. And I'm half Italian,

which means I can't be made on either side, but they abide me. We all put up with you. Eric Metaxus,

who the first time that I met him, how many Greeks tell you, hey, you pronounce your own name wrong

because it's metaxa, which is the liquor. He says, yeah, every time. He says, but I'm half Greek. He says, and I've tried my whole life to be more. I've tried so hard to get up to maybe. He said, one week and I think I got up to 53%. But that's great. I didn't know he was half Greek. Yeah, fantastic. Half Greek, they're taking over. People don't like to talk about it sometimes, but yeah, Greek people just say whatever pops into their head, which is why we are here. See what I did there? Nice little segue. Bring us back. And George, what ook? Are you here to plug? What podcast? Paperview special. MySpace page. I have nothing. I have nothing for you, Dean.

So you're just here for the people. I have nothing to sell. I know. My wife doesn't understand why I'm not selling things, but that's okay.

Which is fine. I'm all for selling. I'm all for capitalism. But it's just everybody makes you feel like you're just one of those bums in an old

Bugs Bunny cartoon, probably more like Walter Lance, but they shake you upside down and all your

money falls out, all your change, not pennies anymore because they got rid of them. Oh yeah,

definitely. And it's more and more prevalent as the right or whatever we call ourselves now has a move to Twitter or X.

You don't know who these people are or where they came from

and they're trying to tell you the world is ending or it's all the Jews' fault
