Welcome to the history hyenas podcast. We're talking about Benjamin Franklin. Was he a good father?

Was he a bad father? He probably was a bad father because he didn't

even go back for his wife's funeral because he was in France, banged dudes. We're having a population

problem right now in the West because women want to have lives. That's what it is. Stop that.

That's what it is and that's why I'm welcoming Islam. Me too. Because they don't allow the

women to have lives. Inshala.

I'm kidding. We're not going to do any type of that kind of material today. We're not going to do it.

It's so tempting. It's hard to resist. It's like a chuck of schoon. We're not going to do it.

Today we're going to talk about the history of the rat

pack, Sammy Davis Jr. Frank Sinatra. No Muslims there. No Muslims, although they probably did

make fun of Sammy Davis Jr. Oh, hot. Yes, they did. They actually would make tons of jokes back then.

I watched one clip where Dean Martin says, how does it feel sitting at the back of the bus? It's what it is. Yeah, I mean, Cus, make no mistake. Sammy Davis Jr. sounded like a black Jew. He's like a Maristodemeyer. He did sound like a black Jew, and I mean, man, it must have taken a lot of time to do his hair. His hair is gorgeous. He had to straighten his hair like my wife every morning. There was a girl who one of my friends banged the black girl in college, and he said he went

down on her and she had styled pubes, and they used to call her Sammy Davis Jr.

Last 14.

That was her name in college, I swear.

They used to call her SDJ, Sammy Davis Jr.

If you went to my college, you know who you all. Can you imagine going over Sammy Davis Jr.'s house and there's just hair rollers at the sink like my wife and towels? My wife always leaves her hair roller or whatever is a blow dryer on my side of the bathroom. Yeah, it's what it is. And that would have been Savvy Davis Jr.'s bathroom. Him and his wife had to do their hair at the same time. It's what it is. Now,

the Rat Pack, this was an interesting one to learn about, and I'm going to be completely honest with you. I learned all about the history of the FDNY because I got our text chain mixed up, and that is actually the FDNY is actually the episode we're going to be doing for our live

history hyenas podcast, which was yesterday by the time you heard this. That's right. Wednesday, November 12th, Crown Hill Theater, Brooklyn. So I did not learn about the rap pack. The only thing I know about the rap pack is my grandpa used to listen to it and used to listen to that and Connie Francis. I know a lot about Connie Francis. Now when you say your grandfather used to listen to it, was it at your mother's home or his other home? No, it was at, well, no, not that grandfather. Oh, okay. This is my step-grandfather who came in and was my actual grandfather, but he used to listen to the Rat Pack a lot, and it was, we would drive through Williamsburg and he would be blasting some type of Frank Sinatra song.

Not, not actively trying to get out of the way of crossing Hasidic Jews.
