0:50 of all who do you think is the most famous Indian no cheating I'm not looking at Indian most famous Native American I'm sorry oh NATO oh the freaking last the Mohicans guy yeah Sacagawea the guy who played Saget in Street Fighter the movie oh yeah dude the Thai guy who's the second most famous Native American like the guy that cries a tear during the don't literally that's true okay who's the third most famous Pocahontas yes so Edward Norton is related to Pocahontas wait that means it had to be through non-consensual I don't know dude his publicist is working hard this month does that mean does that mean he gets uh Pocahontas Casino royalties that's what we're looking into that right now he's trying to shake down a couple places

1:40 Morongo he's going after Morongo right now yeah I like that there's a Pocahontas Casino in your world for sure what if they had plans to do all this Pocahontas stuff at Disney and now they have to call it Edward Norton the ride the daughter of a 17th century Native American Chief is his 12th great-grandmother wow this a revelation came about on Tuesday's episode of Finding Your Roots so his public has got him on that it's a PBS genealogical history show they are killing it um and apparently I need this public so Didi is this a sponsorship from ancestry.com and he went on that website and then he put a spit in a DNA and they just said where it came from I know but

2:30 I just wanted to ancestry.com hey remember we're friends we're friends for friends we're friends we're friends we're alive we're friends we're pretending to be friends we've only tried it for years come on come on play it up okay right good memories yeah we had a good time yeah okay um no so this is a PBS genealogical history show and there was a family rumor apparently about this oh that's right kind of like the Senator Elizabeth Warren except that it's true and not completely oh God I got it wasn't Elizabeth Warren isn't native related to Sacagawea or anything yeah oh no she's related to Rachel dolezal so um that's really good so there is a there is a uh the family rumor confirms the family connection to Pocahontas who supposedly saved Captain John Smith from execution after welcoming English settlers to the United States in the 17th century and there is a direct paper

3:20 trail connection to uh Pocahontas she told this person told Edward Norton and I like Pocahontas that was a dope ass movie that ████ was banging around it was a sick movie what about the willow the whispering Willow The Colors Of The Wind good one too that sure was banging around be a man great song not that movie but a performance defeat the Huns really good really good really really good last one in Pocahontas hey but that's that means he's kind of related to John Smith so he has to be yeah so you think you think he's the most like famous white man of all time John Smith John Smith I think he's the most common name he's the most common name in like an example driver's license you don't think John Smith gets enough shine bro yeah how come he's related to Pocahontas but not John Smith no he's with John Smith because John Smith the the PBS documentary says that John Smith was

4:10 beating up significant yeah there was like 25 minutes dedicated to do that or was it another guy that Pocahontas got with that he's related to well no so Pocahontas died three years after marrying this cat named Ralph into Jamestown Virginia what happened to John Smith I think yeah they fizzled out that was romanticized via Disney it was actually a lot darker of a story they didn't have babies I think John Smith just kind of hit it and quit it is what they're saying in the documentary that was Jamie women because back in those days you had to be married yeah um CNN according to CNN historian host Henry Louise Gates Jr said that John Smith had a piece and pieced out oh he deleted that song from the movies whoa dude but he didn't quit it song the super misogynistic song that Chris was doing area codes in that original score

5:01 toxic male songs it was peace or peace oh ████ hey so Johnson Smith was kind of a piece of ████ then no a piece no ████ you know they use a piece of ████ I think most historical figures if you dig enough you'll find the s█████ well dude Disney I feel like I I was lied to because I thought he was such a good guy from a movie I just don't want to say that John Smith is a piece of ████ because I don't want to get canceled oh yeah this is probably his great great grandfather too you're related to Edward Norton's racist uh are you related to Edward Norton probably who knows so there was a thing with Edward Norton too where like I think a whole week before this came out they were saying that he um was like he felt bad because he's I think like great great grandfather something was a slave owner or something like that whoa yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so he was like explaining how he felt like really guilty about it and like but you can't

5:51 control your past yeah what are you gonna do dude he wasn't even alive it's like 17 times removed that's why as long as you don't own any slaves that's why when I'm there Edward Norton when I'm thinking the Publishers is working really hard I'm like was this done in contrast to try to counteract yeah because if he's gonna get royalties from Pocahontas Casino he's gonna get some backlash for a backlash shouldn't have said that why for his great because we're talking about the slaves it's very visual you're too good at punts that's the problem sometimes no not good enough I would say Bart um we're friends on the show yeah we're friends we're friends we're live right now how many uh Asians have Genghis Khan genetics and do you feel bad about that I don't feel bad at all I was hoping I was hoping rapist say that on 23 minutes like yo

6:42 Genghis Khan is like this is Daddy yeah I was hoping I honestly I knew that wasn't gonna be a thing but in my fantasy of doing 23 to me I wanted to be like yeah you're a little bit Mongolian did it say it yeah no it doesn't it doesn't mine said one percent really oh no no Mongolian you ████ ████ you guys did guys on goals out dude some of y'all were mating nah yeah some of y'all it's gonna sound like a bit it's not a bit I found it during Christmas vacation that my family's related to some kind of German royalty or some ████ oh all right now you're braggling I thought you were a ████ leprecha I thought you were leprechaun green I
