But yo, we talk about this all the time, and you love history too. On our show, we talk about when you look back at history, all the empires, just the top guys, like the viceroys and the emperors and all that, they just engaged. They took whatever was on the table. Men, women, eunuchs, boys. It's crazy. They were the toughest dudes.
Alexander the Great was the most masculine guy, and that guy had a straight-up boyfriend. Yes. He had boys. But an actual lover. That was his, I can't remember his name. I'm forgetting, something Greek.
No, he had one guy that was like his 13-year partner. And when that guy died, he made it like a holiday. He quieted. He was beside himself. Damn. And yeah, I think he just was in a great depression because he was in love with a guy.
That would be, dude. He's gonna watch us and take that. Yeah, but my point is like- You can take it, dude. People think that's so shocking that there's a presidential candidate who was gay, but when you look back at the Roman Empire, Trajan, was a full gay dude, and he was like the best Roman.
He was like one of the ones by historians that's considered to be like one of the best emperors, and he was just a gay guy. He wasn't even into like, I'm gonna marry my horse, or you know, he was just, loved that. Just a gay guy.
Yeah, yeah.
They can get kind of nasty. Yeah, they can get really nasty. You know what I just thought of? You know what's really funny to think about? Michelangelo, fully gay guy, painted the Sistine Chapel. All the people that come in and pray hate homosexuals, but the biggest Christian icon in the world was made by a flaming $3 bill. I think that that's kind of poetic justice for the gay community.
You know that was started by some powerful dude with a small dick, and he was like, everyone's dick's going to be small. I don't want anyone to see. Because people probably saw each other's dicks all the time. They only had togas on. So when they sat down, I mean, they didn't have underwear yet.
They all shit together. It was public shit, public toilets. And they would hang out and it was social for them. They'd shit next to each other. What about toilet paper?
That's the thing. I think they used water. They used leaves. I think they used water.
Downtown Manhattan. Right. That famous, like, lake, remember? Oh, yeah. Old Brooklyn. Old Manhattan.
Collect pond. All the butchers, all the waste, human waste. Big gangs in New York time. Yeah, gangs in New York time. It was just this disgusting lake that had all the waste from animals and butchers. They would do it. We always say history stank. I mean, it just, you can smell, when you think about what history must have smelled like, it was Teddy Roosevelt who was the one that changed it all.
But people did die of like, you know, viruses, germs.
The weak definitely still kind of got, you know, it was more animalistic in the way that, you know, if you were at a weak immune system, you were going to go. Yeah, you're out. Nowadays, you know, there's a lot of weak people walking around. Yeah. Myself included.
Yeah. Beautiful. Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah, they did it better. Nobody has a better joke about that than Greg Giraldo. You ever see that Greg Giraldo joke? He's like, back in the day, some soldier would be like, dearest Martha, please kiss the children on the forehead and your visage. I miss your visage with every battle.
And then now he goes, the letters now are like, dear Marie, don't fuck nobody. Yeah, I'll be back. It's changed, yeah. It's true.
Guys at the top always have some peculiarity about them.
And here's the thing about Napoleon. He actually wasn't that much of a squeak.
He was a little guy under five, six.
That's fucking bullshit. Yeah, dude. It's fucking bullshit. Just lets you know, man, like a lot of the stuff in history is just not true. It's just misinformation.
