WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.440 From workhouse connect in aj Benza fame. He'd like to be walked on a 2 00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:12.160 leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. He's the guy put the 3 00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:16.559 cock in the peacock network. Okay, bitch, hey, everybody, aj 4 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.039 Benzi here, what fame is a bitch? This is your free show. 5 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.440 It is Memorial Day. You'll probably get this sometime late afternoon early evening. 6 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.320 I wanted you guys to have some time if you're barbecues and pool parties and 7 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.200 such. Many of you are traveling, so I thought I could go a 8 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.960 little bit longer today and not get it out first thing in the morning. 9 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.079 This is one of those holidays that really begins everything fresh, you know, 10 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:47.600 Memorial Days a start of summer. People have a different vibe about them. 11 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.200 It seems to be more opportunity in the air. COVID's way behind us, 12 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.600 so to speak. Well, the pandemic is there's now some order in the 13 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.640 political landscape. But most Americans two thirds of Americans polled, do not want 14 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.239 Biden anywhere near the White House again, and they think they're gonna be major 15 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.040 steps coming up soon that where he either steps down or definitely does not run. 16 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.599 In twenty twenty four. You've got Trump finding it out with the Santiss 17 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.680 on social media, which is just what the Democrats want. But I'll tell 18 00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.239 you what it's gonna do. It's also going to fire up a lot of 19 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:27.680 Republicans, a lot of conservatives, especially Governor Ron DeSantis's speech he made about 20 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.560 how our military is so woke, and the first thing he will do on 21 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:37.560 day one if he wins the presidency will be to shore up on military and 22 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.799 I think that's a fantastic idea. That's what Trump did, but Obama let 23 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.959 it go to shit, and Biden's even doing worse. We care more about 24 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.280 what pronouns our soldiers used than what kind of guns they carry. We care 25 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:57.560 about making basic training easier, more diversity, more inclusion, more equity. 26 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:04.079 It's all bullshit. Those bad guys across the river, across the ocean to 27 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:08.319 be faced by our bad guys, not the men and women of d Ei 28 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:15.319 H. Christ. We're a laughing stock. So there's the Santist making bold 29 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.919 statements of what he'll do a day one, and you've got Trump on truth 30 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:24.199 social just going off unhinged, calling everybody in power of fascist Marxist communist pigs. 31 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.560 Which many of them are. But you know, when Trump writes in 32 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.840 all caps and throws a bunch of exclamation points in there, and you know, 33 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:38.319 goes by his it talks about himself in third person, it could turn 34 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.199 It does turn people off. And now we're finally getting to see somebody else 35 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:49.759 in the Republican Party have a more measured tone, a more measured response about 36 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.319 things. And you know, another ear of this, or nine ten months 37 00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.280 of it, it's gonna really tell the tale. Trump's got a sizeable lead 38 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.879 on DeSantis now, but that could all evaporate a lot of chess moves being 39 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:09.240 made here. And I think either way, us on the right don't lose. 40 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.800 I think it Trump slips in, I really think he'll win. And 41 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.879 if he does it and DeSantis tops him, I think De Santis will beat 42 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:24.599 out the Democratic challenges. You'll come down to De Santis and Newsom or Trump 43 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.639 and Newsom, and it's gonna be interesting because Kennedy is gonna go out up 44 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:34.000 with Newsom and yeah, there you some good stuff. Good stuff go on. 45 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.280 That all starts because now the summer officially begins, and I just think 46 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.319 people have a different outlook on life. I was I was watching this movie 47 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:49.960 called fat Man the other day on Amazon Prime. Mel Gibson stars as Santa. 48 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.479 Chris Kringle, you know, let's way up north of Alaska, North 49 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:59.319 Pole. Some little snunt and those kid, it's not those rich kid sends 50 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.759 a hit man played by Walton Goggin. So I love Since the Shield, 51 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.039 he was Michael Chickless's partner on The Shield. I loved it. He sends 52 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.199 him to go kill Santa. You know, naturally, because it's modern times, 53 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:18.519 Santa has a black wife. Of course, not a pretty black wife 54 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:24.079 either. I don't know what they're doing with that casting, but okay, 55 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.399 whatever. We've always seen Santa's wife as a white woman, but okay, 56 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.079 now he's married to a black woman. Whatever. There's all the elves there 57 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.720 helping them with his deliveries. But I'm gonna tell you, writing this script, 58 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:42.079 there had to have been some cocaine readily available because the subplots involved in 59 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.920 this movie was so crazy. I'm not gonna tell you everything. I won't 60 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.120 tell you the ending either, but maybe you'll see it one day. But 61 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:55.199 you can't think of this stuff while you're straight. You know. I had 62 00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.480 my days writing scripts while high. Everything seems great. When you finally go 63 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.800 to bed and turn in the next morning, you go right back to your 64 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.920 laptop and you reread what you wrote, and you go, oh my god, 65 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.360 this is this is bad, this is insane. Delete delete, delete. 66 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.759 It sucks, but you you have to get rid of all that crazy 67 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.800 dialogue and impossible twists and turns that only drugs can make you come up with. 68 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.720 And it's a bad feeling to know you wasted three hours on shit, 69 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.399 and that's all got to be deleted. Because you know the thing about writing 70 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.120 a screenplayer or a book, for example, by the time you're done with 71 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:43.199 either of them, you've literally read those things over a hundred times, easy 72 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.000 over a hundred times, because you're constantly going back and making changes, especially 73 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:53.000 when the ends don't tie up them. The ropes don't tie together at the 74 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.000 end, you know what I mean. You can't have anything dangling. You 75 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.879 want something's covered. I get so nuts when a movie has something to hang 76 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.279 it wasn't covering in the end. I get like, how could they not 77 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.759 see that? I just you don't want to watch movies with me? I 78 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:11.199 go crazy. But you always got to go back and make changes. As 79 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.519 the great Gumple always says, if your ending is off, you got to 80 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.920 go back to the first act. That's what you'll find what's wrong, and 81 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:24.000 you fix it from there. And sometimes that's like a scavenger hunt. It 82 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.120 can take you all sorts of ways, but there comes that moment of clarity 83 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:34.120 when somehow it all works and you have to have someone you respect read it 84 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.680 because you're too close to it. You know, you sometimes can't understand if 85 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.199 it's even any good. That's why you know when I wrote when Coumple and 86 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.759 I wrote Whole Self In, which I think we both would feel is the 87 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:51.040 best thing we've written together. No, Neil's written scripts on its own that 88 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:55.639 are great, but I think that's our best effort, even though we sold 89 00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:00.000 another one that never got made. But this Whole Self in, I've said 90 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.959 before, it's beautiful. And when I gave it to Warren Beatty Sean Penn, 91 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.399 basically not someone because I thought they'd make it, but because I wanted 92 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.560 them to read. I wanted their feedback, and the feedback was great from 93 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.480 both those guys. Not the bread, but that means a lot when you 94 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.800 go to guys like that, real filmmakers and see what they think, because 95 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.920 it happens. Sometimes you're too close to something you don't know that. I 96 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.079 don't know who wrote fat Man. I should look it up, but I 97 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:30.240 didn't. But it's crazy, it's crazy. I remember Smokey Robinson and I 98 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.839 used to talk at the Playboy Mansion parties, and unbelievably, he was a 99 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.160 fan of mine. I had no idea. I mean, why, why 100 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:41.560 would they even think something like that? So I mentioned this before one night, 101 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.680 I'm talking to some girls and you know, long, come Smokey Robinson, 102 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.040 those icy blue eyes and that smooth voice. And he goes, excuse 103 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:53.519 me, you're a J Benza. So yeah, because I'm a fan, 104 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.759 I'm Smokey. I said, I know who you are. You're a fan 105 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.920 of mine. I said, I gotta tell you you are one of them 106 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.560 of a writer and singer. And he was so happy that I said writer 107 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.920 first. I could tell even though he still sounds great with his voice, 108 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.360 but he's a writer at heart, because he was and still is very proud 109 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.160 of the songs he wrote for himself and the songs he wrote for other people. 110 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.279 He told me at one point that the song he'd better shop around he 111 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.240 wrote in thirty minutes and it was gonna be given to a friend of his 112 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.439 to record, and Barry Gordy over at Motown told him, no, no, 113 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.120 no, no, you gotta sing this song, smoke and he's like, 114 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.399 no, it's gonna go to think. The guy's name is Barrett, 115 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.799 I forget. It's no, it's going to sell and sell, and Barry's 116 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.440 like, no, it's not. No, you'll singing this song, so 117 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.799 he begrudgingly reported himself. A few weeks later, it's on the radio and 118 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.600 Barry Gordy calls at three o'clock in the morning and says, we got to 119 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.279 fix something. Would shop around. He says, man, it's three am. 120 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.879 Gordy says, Smoky, I know what's wrong with it. I know 121 00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.240 what changes to make and it will shoot to number one, and Smokes like, 122 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.639 all right, you know it's been in rotation for two weeks. Gordy's 123 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.120 like, I'm pulling up from rotation. I'm gonna fix it. I know 124 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.679 what's wrong with it. Smokey says, I'll see you tomorrow. He's no, 125 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.480 not tomorrow now, Smokey. Now get the band here, let's get 126 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.720 to work. That's the way it was with Berry Gordy three o'clock in the 127 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.279 morning. I gotta do this now. I still remember it well, I 128 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.519 remember the changes. It's still in my head. And the band went in 129 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.559 and rerecorded it, and I think Berry Gordy change to melody, the bridge, 130 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.720 even the style of his sung in and indeed shot to number one within 131 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:41.440 a week. But what I mean is sometimes it takes someone else, another 132 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.039 writer, to hear what you sang or read what you wrote, and they 133 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.840 can find the things you miss because you've been too close to it. But 134 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:54.279 anyhow, watching If Fat Man made me think of working with Mel Gibson way 135 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.879 back in nineteen ninety six on the film Ransom Well. I was ninety five. 136 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.840 It came out in ninety six. I've always liked Gets. I love 137 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.840 him in movies. I know. He went berserk on the Pacific Coast Highway 138 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.480 that night and said all wars have started because of Jews, and he called 139 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.320 the female cop sugar tits, and then later on went on a high rate 140 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.080 with that phone call to his ex and wish that a pack of N words 141 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.799 would come together in rape or like awful stuff. It was horror fun. 142 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.679 He was also incredibly drunk, big drinker, back then, and I just 143 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.200 I don't know what. I can't judge a man completely for eternity for something 144 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.720 he said will absolutely pissed, drunk and about to be arrested. And I 145 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.399 know it's awful stuff. Some people can't forgive him. I get it, 146 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.360 but I did. I think he's paid his penance. Plus I love his 147 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.440 acting, from Braveheart to his little thing I just saw recently with Vince Vaughan 148 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:54.399 called Dragged Across Concrete. I like that he's making this slow comeback and people 149 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.080 are recognizing his acting again. No, that cancelation ship is falling to the 150 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:03.559 wayside. But he was always solid with me. And you know, I 151 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:09.399 brought up Chris Elise on the Patreon and the Free Show last week because he 152 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:15.480 was a very dear friend of mine who died at fifty one suddenly with all 153 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:22.399 the claws yet and I watched his funeral Saturday. You know, people can 154 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.080 send you the funeral now virtually on social media. Very moving, very sad. 155 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.919 I actually I watched it on Sunday and I didn't have any me to 156 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.320 do a show that night because it was just I was too torn up. 157 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:39.399 Just the fact that the show of the show the fact that the service ends 158 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.759 with people hugging each other and walking out of this room, and the casket 159 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.120 gets poult gets wheeled out of the room and all you left is a camera 160 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:52.840 showing you the empty funeral paul a room with a TV set of Chris's face 161 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:58.159 flickering on it. Eventually the TV gets turned off and it was just too 162 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:05.000 hardcore for me to see. That was a It was a brutal way to 163 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.840 end it. I could imagine what Gigi's going through, I think I can. 164 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.720 I didn't. I didn't know what it would be like seeing he grie, 165 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.039 which I did on camera. It was so awful and hurt, hurtful 166 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.840 to see that's life. He was loved. And that's why I didn't do 167 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.840 a show Sunday night for Monday. I wanted to recover from watching that. 168 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.799 But it's because the Chris's wife, Gigi, that I ever got the role 169 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.919 in Ransom. And I don't know if I haven't told that story to you 170 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.480 guys. I mean, my patrons have heard this. But Gi used to 171 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.440 watch me on the Gossip Show way back in the early nineties on the E 172 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.639 E channel that was a precursor to TMZ. Same kind of style show. 173 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.360 Not really, but there was no host. The cameras were just zooming on 174 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.120 us in our offices that we tell two or three minute stories of gossip. 175 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.879 Blah blah blah. Different columnists, different magazine writers, different whatever. It 176 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.759 was film reviews. An ead that gossip and was hired by He would be 177 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.039 on camera for three to four minutes a day. Then the show ran four 178 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.799 or five times a day. One night, Gigi, who was once married 179 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:16.320 to the mega producer Brian Grazer, she said to him, She's looking at 180 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.080 me, and I think I think he's got something and you should find a 181 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.759 spot for him in one of your movies. That's literally how that whole thing 182 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.759 happened. Next thing you know, he's called me up from his car, 183 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.120 introducing himself. The first time he called, I hung up. I thought 184 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.120 it was Chico making making a joke. But then he calls back. He 185 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.279 says, no, no, this is really Brian Grayser. I'm calling you 186 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.759 from California. You know I would like to have dinner with you. I'm 187 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:41.679 a fan of yours. I'm gonna be in New York next Tuesday. Why 188 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.879 don't we go out? Said sure, and I'll never forget We met at 189 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.679 Bowerie Barr meet him and his wife Gigi at the time, Russell Simmons and 190 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:56.399 a girlfriend of his. I forget who. And the next day he calls 191 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.240 again and says he's gonna send me sides to read for a part in the 192 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.240 movie Ransom with mel Gibson, that he's about to make a huge moment in 193 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.600 my life, you know, crazy and GEEZI told me no. I used 194 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.200 to look at you and tell Brian find something for him. Something he's gonna 195 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:18.480 you know, he's gonna hit I over so much. So the sides get 196 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.720 facts to me. And it was like the reading for the part of some 197 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.279 somebody who worked in a delicate Testine and it was like one line about you 198 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:31.559 want lettuce and mayonnaise. Some stupid I called him right away. I go, 199 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.240 really, one line as a guy who works in a Delhi You got 200 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.480 me reading for Delhi man. He goes, what, No, No, 201 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.559 No, that's wrong, that's a mistake. I'll call the office. I 202 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.639 want you to read for one of the kidnappers who takes mel and Renee Russo's 203 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.279 kid. All right, that's better. I go in and I read, 204 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.000 I prepare It was a great part. Well. I was up against Lee 205 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.559 of Schreiber, up against Ray Donovan for God's sake, and he rightfully got 206 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:03.600 the part. But both Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, a director, told 207 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.799 me we're gonna find something for you. You can do this after I read 208 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.200 and they said, you know what, we'll be in touch with the You 209 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.519 know you're gonna be in this movie. So I love very happy. Next 210 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.240 thing, I'm cast. I get to work a week on the film, 211 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.320 getting picked up at four thirty in the morning, along with Lily Taylor, 212 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:26.080 Delroy Lindo, Evan Chandler, some other actors and actresses, and we're gonna 213 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.440 be set in a story of Queens. Over the Bridge into Queens. And 214 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.120 you know, Mel Gibson was really really good to me, bring me into 215 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.960 his trailer. Have cappuccino was gonna be a nice cappuccino machine back then. 216 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.879 And I got to know him here that my nephew come watch dailies with everybody, 217 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.639 which they don't do anymore. But he wanted me to eat with the 218 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.080 stars of the film. You'd always have his seat for me at this table 219 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.039 just and back then he was as big as they got. You know. 220 00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:00.879 So we got along break and I told you that story about me finding out 221 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.200 he was sleeping with this Cuban girl, Vivian, that I dated in the 222 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:10.399 past. So she calls me from Mel Gibson's hotel room. This is the 223 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:15.200 afternoon after the night I introduced him to her at Spy bar and she was 224 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.480 with me that night. Well, you know, we separated as we normally 225 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.559 did. We didn't mess around that night, and she ended up going back 226 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:26.360 to Mel's hotel because he flat out and asked me at the at the bar, 227 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:27.600 he mind if I make a move on her. I said no, 228 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.759 no, she's a good friend. We already had our fund go ahead. 229 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:34.799 And then he asked me if she's quiet, can he trust I said yeah, 230 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.240 basically meant you know, she didn have talked to a tabloid, and 231 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.600 I assured him she's not that kind of girl. She dated some monsters in 232 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.960 New York City. She knows better than open amount, so she's not gonna 233 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.320 tell secrets. Don't worry about it. The next day, she calls me 234 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.080 in my office from his hotel room and says, a j there is a 235 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:57.039 ton of Papa Rozzi outside the hotel. Somebody must have found out about me 236 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.879 going home with Mel. I said, okay, well you obviously slept with 237 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.720 him. She goes, well, no, I'm just I just we just 238 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:07.240 I said, Vivian, you slept with me, I know you sli with 239 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.240 Mel Gibson and that don't be ridiculous. And she didn't answer. I said, 240 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.880 listen, let me figure something out and i'll call you back. So 241 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.880 I called the producer, Joel Silver, who was as big as they get 242 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:23.759 back then, big time producer, and I explain what's happening in Mel's room 243 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.599 at that moment. Joel Silver initially doesn't believe me. It's not true. 244 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.920 Mellow's so loyal to his wife and kids, et cetera. I said, 245 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:36.880 Joel, Vivian was with me. I know her. She didn't go home 246 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.039 with Mel just to talk, all right, and look at baby pictures. 247 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.119 Give mccon wake up. Now. I've been up his ass to get into 248 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.119 Mel Gibson's next movie conspiracy theory, mind you. So now I get a 249 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.119 little bit of power here because he needs me for a favorite. I tell 250 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.319 him, if I make this go away and no one connects Vivian to Mel, 251 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.519 you gotta put me in conspiracy theory. I ba, I just strong 252 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.000 on him. He says. He agreed, because I just can't have this 253 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.839 press. I said, I'll take care of it. So I call another 254 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.279 gossip columns too, with friends of mine. I told him, Look, 255 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.039 you might hear a rumor that Mel Gibson and this Cuban chick had a fling 256 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:21.000 last night leaving spy bar. This paparazzi's all around the hotel he's at. 257 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.960 Now, do me a favorite. I'll owe you for this. I'm gonna 258 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.960 go to the hotel to a back door. I know the manager, he 259 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.680 knows what's what. The paparazzi already lined up to get a shot of her 260 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:36.039 coming out, you know. And the thing is, she's gonna be hand 261 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.640 in hand with me, and you can either report that she was with me 262 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:44.839 or don't write anything at all. Remember, I'll owe you you guys like 263 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.960 okay, you know funny and that happens with column sometimes she could be friendly 264 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.000 with each other in trade secrets and such. So I go to the hotel, 265 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.000 I slip ball of paparazi from the back door. I meet her up 266 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.720 in Mill's hallway and she and I walk out the front door hand hand and 267 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.680 his pictures popped on each side of us. But the pop Rozzi weren't pleased 268 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:08.359 that she wasn't with Mel. That was their money shot. Obviously, even 269 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.519 her alone could have been a story as Mel's mystery woman. You know, 270 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.640 Instead all they got was me holding her hand. Now they're like, well 271 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:21.400 wait a minute. The next day that other gossip columnists wrote that the pop 272 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:26.599 Rozzy would tipped off to the married actor and you know, superstar Mel Gibson 273 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.599 album in the town with mystery woman. But it wasn't what they thought. 274 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:33.920 The girls actually aj Benj's girlfriend. That's what I told him to say. 275 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.920 Now the issue was I already had a girlfriend, a very jealous Puerto Rican 276 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.240 girlfriend, and I warned her what's gonna come out in the paper the next 277 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.960 day or two, and she was rightfully pissed off. But I had to 278 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.480 do what I had to do. And you know, it took a lot 279 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.440 of arguing and prodding, but she eventually understood. But that was a tough 280 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:59.000 night. Joel Silver and Mel were very grateful. A couple of nights later, 281 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:03.720 I was a spy bar again. Mel's there, Joel Silver. I 282 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.920 had to get Joel Silver in They didn't believe he wasn't important enough. I 283 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:11.799 guess because he's like a chubby, gay producer, balding or actually bold, 284 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.799 and that's not the kind of person they wanted to look for the club. 285 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:17.039 But I had to go outside of old guys. This is Joel Silver, 286 00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:21.200 the big producer led him in, so he's very happy about that. Vivian 287 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:25.319 was nowhere around and Mel was in the clear. That's when he told me 288 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:29.359 they had a part from me, a conspiracy theory, and I winked to 289 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.680 Joel Silver and he kind of strugged us at to say I did my part, 290 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.440 and he did. Of course. That part was me as a security 291 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.319 guard having to fight with Mel inside a Barnes and Noble store as he's trying 292 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.599 to steal the book catcher in the Rye, who was three nights of work. 293 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.240 I had a nice trailer outside the shoot on Union Square, right next 294 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.480 to one of the very first restaurants I could get into with relative ease, 295 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.640 even right before I became a full time gossip palumnist. As I was helping 296 00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:03.480 out it inside Newsday and just finding hindems anywhere, the Coffee Shot was a 297 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.440 really hot spot. Yeah, she could have breakfast and dinner there at the 298 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.359 same you know, different hours didn't matter. He breakfast all day, dinner 299 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:17.039 all day. People and more importantly, beautiful young models weren't there and hung 300 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.920 out there. It was near all the modeling agencies, and you could imagine 301 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:25.160 it was insane. So I would go there all the time I was freshly 302 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:29.400 divorced. I would drive there and literally, like nurse, two drinks for 303 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.680 like four and a half hours. I was just trying to get delayed the 304 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:37.240 land, making connections, always on the lookout for pretty city girl. And 305 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.079 back then this plan I had was, Okay, I want some divorced, 306 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.880 I can go move with New York City. I can become a gossip columnist, 307 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:48.200 and then I'll eventually get into movies. I just felt it in my 308 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.559 bones. I told my roommates that, I told Chico, I told Johnny 309 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:55.960 Diaz, who lived with me. Everybody around me knew that was my plan. 310 00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.680 Some of them thought I was crazy, that you can't just make that 311 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:00.880 happen, like I know, I'm gonna will it. I'm gonna will it. 312 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.799 Two years go by, and there I was. I had my gossip 313 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:10.559 drop, and then New York Daily News and a trailer outside the coffee shop 314 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.240 making a movie with movie stars like Mel Gibson and Julia Robins. It was 315 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:18.559 surreal. Anyhow, a lot of time has passed since then. Last time 316 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.039 I saw Mel was like twenty years ago. And so it was the night 317 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.279 some girl drugged my drink and I remember going outside. I had to go 318 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.079 outside and call my buddy Tony to come pick me up. I couldn't drive, 319 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:33.920 I was passing out, and Jeff Goldbloom and Mel Gibson helped me down 320 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:37.559 the stairs and took me outside the Sagard Bar in Beverly Hills and waited till 321 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.119 Tony came to pick me up. And the last thing I remember mel Gibson 322 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.000 saying to me was I'm glad you're done with that writing gossip. It was 323 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.880 too good for that shit. Anyway I want, I couldn't speak. I 324 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.880 wanted to go. Really, I bet I wasn't too good for it when 325 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:57.079 I was saving your ass through the column, right, you know. But 326 00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.640 yeah, that's the way things went back then, Long before he used the 327 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:06.599 phrase sugar tits, he was being a bad boy. Sorry to take a 328 00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:11.039 long trip down memory lane, but sometimes what I gotta do and then there's 329 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.200 a story that made the rounds the other day that I can completely believe in, 330 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:22.640 because there's something about old men in journalism that women should be fearful of, 331 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:27.000 or at least we're fearful of, and maybe they should continue to be 332 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:32.559 fearful of. And that's old men in journalism for some reason. Maybe he's 333 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.440 old older men in general, men with money, men with stature, think 334 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:38.880 they can go after younger women just because they've got money. It's like, 335 00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:42.440 I know what I look like at sixty and one is not like what I 336 00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:48.640 looked at thirty five. I completely see a difference in me. A lot 337 00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.319 of me is the same, but visually physically I look different, not as 338 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.839 handsome, not as thin, not TV ready, if you want to say 339 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:02.160 that, but you look at like Charlie Rose and less moved it. These 340 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.279 are very rich, wealthy men who would make it very clearly we're trying to 341 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:11.200 pick up an actress or an interview subject. And apparently that's what Mike Wallace, 342 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.920 the old sixty minutes journalist, was trying to do with the Tina Turner 343 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:22.119 when he interviewed for I think back in ninety six, so maybe maybe two 344 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.119 thousand Anyhow, Mike Wallace interviewed tea In Turner for sixteen minutes, and he 345 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.240 made a lot of apparently a lot of sleazy remarks about a sex appeal. 346 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:37.799 Some former CBS employee named Leslie Moulson, who worked there from ninety six to 347 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:44.720 two thousand and four. She went on Twitter to tell her thousands of followers 348 00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:51.319 that she saw unreleased footage all of an interview Mike Wallace conducted with Tina Turner, 349 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:56.680 which she abruptly halted the show. Tina Turney said, no inappropriate behavior. 350 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:57.559 You know, she didn't work it that way, but she was like 351 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:04.079 wood. So this former employee, Leslie Molson, says one assignment she had 352 00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:08.960 in sixteen minutes was to watch old, raw, unedited interview footage. For 353 00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.519 some reason she can't recall. That doesn't seem right to me. All right, 354 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.519 you know, she's making a I'm sure this happened, but whatever she 355 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:23.119 went on to say has been viewed more than six hundred and fifty thousand tons. 356 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.319 So she goes, I watched the royal footage of the nineteen ninety six 357 00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:33.839 Wallace interview with Tina Turner and he interviews her at her estate in Nice France, 358 00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.039 and it starts in the usual way with b roll of them walking up 359 00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:40.200 the grounds of the house. Then they're sitting across from each other in a 360 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:45.160 sitting room and out of the gate. Immediately Mike Rowles begins to leer at 361 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.400 her and tell her how sexy she is. And as they talk, Molson 362 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:53.079 says, Wallace had a confident smirk on his face and what on about their 363 00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:57.640 performances, how sexual they are, why are they so sexual? How sexual 364 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.359 is she? And all that kind of stuff. Tina looked at the camera's 365 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:07.160 mind. The word cut and the footage ends abruptly, and the final interview 366 00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:14.960 that went to air, they looked to get on well. So CBS even 367 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.960 re shared to sit down following Tina's death the other day. And obviously Tina 368 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:22.359 Turner didn't hold any kind of grudge because she went on CBS for many years 369 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.079 afterwards. She even did an interview with Gale King in twenty eighteen, so 370 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:33.200 she held no grudge. But this employee of former employee Molson says that cameras 371 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:38.599 resumed filming after Tina seemingly chided Wallace for the unwanted questions and remarks, and 372 00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:45.519 when filming resumes, Mike is profusely apologizing to her with this cheapest, cheapish 373 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.680 serious look on his face, and is promising to stick to questions about her 374 00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:55.079 career. So Molson says, it's obvious that Tina gave Neil what for when 375 00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:57.920 the camera stopped, and it was glorious because a few people had done that 376 00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:03.559 to Mike, and it was glorious. Clearly, this former employee has a 377 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:07.279 grudge against Mike Wallace, but she worked with him. I didn't, but 378 00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.720 she was very happy and saying it was great to see Tina call him out 379 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.799 like that. But to think that she had to deal with that shit from 380 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:19.759 an overpaid, predatory former game show host, despite her being one of the 381 00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:26.400 most brilliant talents of the twentieth century is appalling. Yeah, I look figured 382 00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.079 about former game show host. Mike Wallace established himself as a goddamn great journalist, 383 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.720 so let's not go back to one of his earlier jobs. That's ridiculous. 384 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.799 Molson continues and says the interview as it aired is bad enough. Actually, 385 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.160 Mike Wallace belittlety and turn his talent and also thought nothing of treating him 386 00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:48.200 a zero respect until she threatened to kick him out of her house. Wallace 387 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:51.880 was an asshole of the highest order. I can see him being an asshole. 388 00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:56.119 Sure he died back in twenty twelve. He worked for sixteen minutes from 389 00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.000 nineteen sixty nine and twenty oh six. Let's face it, like I said, 390 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:06.559 considered one of the America's most legendary news reporters. But he did admit 391 00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:11.279 to something in an All interview that he used to put his hands on the 392 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:17.519 backs of his female CBS News coworkers, and he would unsnap the class in 393 00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:22.240 their bras, on their bras during the seventies and eighties. Meanwhile, another 394 00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.480 producer named Ira Rosen, who's been there long ast time, he wrote in 395 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:33.519 that big book about sixty minutes back in twenty twenty one. Wallace regularly peppered 396 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.240 colleagues with questions about their sex lives. He lashed out of them for no 397 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:40.319 good reason. He grabbed the bottoms and breasts of women who worked there, 398 00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:44.200 pulled him on his laps, snapped the bras. Cheez. We used to 399 00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:47.519 snap girls bras in junior high school. I mean, I know that was 400 00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:52.359 bad enough, but to do it as an adult, so now it's like 401 00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.920 rewind the clock and canceled Mike Wallace because there was a sit down interview with 402 00:28:55.960 --> 00:29:02.079 Barbra streisand he did apparently pushed her to tears, probing her about her painful 403 00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:06.440 memories from her childhood. The one thing I don't like about this story, 404 00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:10.720 well, there's a few things. I don't like that this girl doesn't remember 405 00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:14.640 why she was assigned to view the old tapes, but remembers everything else. 406 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.079 Dude, that's always a that's a that bothers me. You gotta come up 407 00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.119 with something better than that. I think she wanted to hunt. I think 408 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.079 this girl never liked Wallace and thinking, you know, I don't even go 409 00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:26.920 after him. I'm want to bring on that old tape up and get along 410 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.480 Twitter, get my name out there again, let people know that I'm a 411 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.240 real female warrior. I'm not saying what Mike Wallace did, but Tina Turner 412 00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:38.359 was admirable or even nice. But you know, it's again, it's like 413 00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.640 throwback character assassination. Mike's gone, he can't comment, Tina's gone, she 414 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:52.799 can't comment. Obviously it was inappropriate what he clearly might have said or did, 415 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.119 but he was attracted to the lady, and he took a shot. 416 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.759 You know, no one got hurt, no one, no foul, she 417 00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:04.480 said, ill no. And you know, guys back then could make a 418 00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:10.680 pass and hope for the best. Times have changed now, but these progressives 419 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:15.119 have to relax, put away your fainting couches, and leave the man and 420 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:19.200 the Great Lady in peace. But I will say this, I've often wondered 421 00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:26.240 where his son, Chris Wallace gets that move that fuck face about him when 422 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.400 he interviews like he knows it all. Have you watched by a look who's 423 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.240 talking to Chris Wallace? His new show on CNN's not new anymore. But 424 00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:37.720 can someone let me know if they find anyone to actually talk to him. 425 00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.599 I never catched the show. I don't know who's sat down on him yet, 426 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:47.319 but I find him he so phony and fake and one sided. But 427 00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:51.119 obviously he must get that from his dad's ways with women. I think I 428 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:56.200 don't know how he learned from his knee. One good thing that I've learned 429 00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.440 about that episode was that I wasn't sure about this. Bettina Turner and Jeff 430 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:04.720 Beck both had Lords of London policies. Tina had a legs insured obviously, 431 00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:10.640 and Jeff had his hands. In short that turned up from that sixteen minutes 432 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:15.359 piece. But getting back to old men, old men with money. Oh, 433 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.319 I know a woman who was a beautiful woman who met bumped into Charlie 434 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:25.759 Rose quite a few times because he lived in the same street. And one 435 00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:29.160 day, you know, he tells her, I got a little kitchen. 436 00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:33.039 They finally o my kitchen. I can't wait to have a first meal there. 437 00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:34.519 We reminded the whole thing. It's beautiful. I spent I don't know 438 00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:37.920 much four hundred thousand dollars in the kitchen. Let me show it to you. 439 00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:41.200 And she went and he made a move on her, and I said, 440 00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.759 why did you fucking go? Who cares about Mike Balls his kitchen? 441 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.839 I mean, not Mike Bass, who cares about what's his name's picture? 442 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:55.599 Don't you know? Charlie Rose gets your up in his apartment, which is 443 00:31:55.720 --> 00:32:00.079 huge, stuck. Don't be alone with guys like that. And she's like, 444 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:01.759 I know I shouldn't have done it, but he made him put his 445 00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:06.240 hand on my leg and I let him. No. No, I don't 446 00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.160 know why old men with money and big jobs think that that's all, that's 447 00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:14.400 all they have to do. This just show up, put their hand on 448 00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:15.559 a girl's body, and they'll go home with them. I don't know what 449 00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:20.839 they think. It's very arrogant. I can understand why women want to scream 450 00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:23.559 or you know, stick a pen in their eyes because a lot of those 451 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:30.079 old men who got washed away in twenty seventeen had bad ways about them. 452 00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:32.720 I mean, I would stick up for a lot of them back in the 453 00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:37.000 day. But you gotta go back in time and really listen to these stories. 454 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.440 Some of the things they did, literally chasing secretaries around desks, you 455 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.839 know, harding women in closets because somebody came in during a meeting and you 456 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:49.759 can't be here. I mean, women would just treated like if you listen 457 00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:54.359 to females who worked in journalism or in film sets or movie studios in their 458 00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:58.400 twenties and thirties, when they were really at their most beautiful and youthful, 459 00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:02.319 they men were after them constantly. I'm sure it's to like that, but 460 00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.400 it got so out of hand. There had to be some kind of reckoning, 461 00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:10.839 and boy came in twenty seventeen. It got a lot of hand. 462 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.079 But I think the pendulum had to spring really wide that way and cast a 463 00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:21.720 big net because there are a lot of guys going around snapping broas drafts and 464 00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:27.839 doing stupid shit to grown women and just believing they could easily pick them off 465 00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.359 and take them on because they were rich and had some gravitas and were famous. 466 00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:37.960 That bothers me. But if you're a woman, don't go to the 467 00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:43.240 fucking guy's house to see his new kitchen. No, it's a kitchen, 468 00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:47.359 it's got a sink and other filled cares. O Christ, would you do 469 00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:52.119 with a stranger? No? I don't know anyhow, Guys, I hope 470 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.440 you're enjoying your mortal day, barbecue, pool party, whatever it is should 471 00:33:55.480 --> 00:34:00.720 do. But I'm here for another few days. I'm headed to Chicago on 472 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:04.960 Thursday to be with the family for my nephew Jackie celebration of life, and 473 00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:08.159 I would imagine the free show next week will be either Monday or Tuesday, 474 00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.800 because Sunday is going to be an all day affair with about forty people there 475 00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:15.639 that's gonna end late, so I'll probably it's gonna start earlier than late, 476 00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:21.599 so I'll probably put the show out a free show out Tuesday. Just know 477 00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:23.960 that ahead of time so you don't panic when you don't see it. At 478 00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:29.719 least I told you so right here on this show. That's it today, 479 00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:32.800 Have a great holiday. It always feels weird saying I have a great holiday 480 00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:36.920 when it's about dead soldiers. I don't think happy Memorial Day is a good 481 00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:43.239 thing to say. But honor those who've obviously died during the military service protecting 482 00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:50.639 US people who do silly things while they rich their lives every day. That's 483 00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:53.800 it. Have a great rest of your holiday, weekend, whatever you want 484 00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:58.320 to call it, three day bender, whatever you guys did.
