From workhouse connect in aj Benza fame. He'd like to be walked on a
leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. He's the guy put the
cock in the peacock network. Okay, bitch, hey, everybody, aj
Benzi here, what fame is a bitch? This is your free show.
It is Memorial Day. You'll probably get this sometime late afternoon early evening.
I wanted you guys to have some time if you're barbecues and pool parties and
such. Many of you are traveling, so I thought I could go a
little bit longer today and not get it out first thing in the morning.
This is one of those holidays that really begins everything fresh, you know,
Memorial Days a start of summer. People have a different vibe about them.
It seems to be more opportunity in the air. COVID's way behind us,
so to speak. Well, the pandemic is there's now some order in the
political landscape. But most Americans two thirds of Americans polled, do not want
Biden anywhere near the White House again, and they think they're gonna be major
steps coming up soon that where he either steps down or definitely does not run.
In twenty twenty four. You've got Trump finding it out with the Santiss
on social media, which is just what the Democrats want. But I'll tell
you what it's gonna do. It's also going to fire up a lot of
Republicans, a lot of conservatives, especially Governor Ron DeSantis's speech he made about
how our military is so woke, and the first thing he will do on
day one if he wins the presidency will be to shore up on military and
I think that's a fantastic idea. That's what Trump did, but Obama let
it go to shit, and Biden's even doing worse. We care more about
what pronouns our soldiers used than what kind of guns they carry. We care
about making basic training easier, more diversity, more inclusion, more equity.
It's all bullshit. Those bad guys across the river, across the ocean to
be faced by our bad guys, not the men and women of d Ei
H. Christ. We're a laughing stock. So there's the Santist making bold
statements of what he'll do a day one, and you've got Trump on truth
social just going off unhinged, calling everybody in power of fascist Marxist communist pigs.
Which many of them are. But you know, when Trump writes in
all caps and throws a bunch of exclamation points in there, and you know,
goes by his it talks about himself in third person, it could turn
It does turn people off. And now we're finally getting to see somebody else
in the Republican Party have a more measured tone, a more measured response about
things. And you know, another ear of this, or nine ten months
of it, it's gonna really tell the tale. Trump's got a sizeable lead
on DeSantis now, but that could all evaporate a lot of chess moves being
made here. And I think either way, us on the right don't lose.
I think it Trump slips in, I really think he'll win. And
if he does it and DeSantis tops him, I think De Santis will beat
out the Democratic challenges. You'll come down to De Santis and Newsom or Trump
and Newsom, and it's gonna be interesting because Kennedy is gonna go out up
with Newsom and yeah, there you some good stuff. Good stuff go on.
That all starts because now the summer officially begins, and I just think
people have a different outlook on life. I was I was watching this movie
called fat Man the other day on Amazon Prime. Mel Gibson stars as Santa.
Chris Kringle, you know, let's way up north of Alaska, North
Pole. Some little snunt and those kid, it's not those rich kid sends
a hit man played by Walton Goggin. So I love Since the Shield,
he was Michael Chickless's partner on The Shield. I loved it. He sends
him to go kill Santa. You know, naturally, because it's modern times,
Santa has a black wife. Of course, not a pretty black wife
either. I don't know what they're doing with that casting, but okay,
whatever. We've always seen Santa's wife as a white woman, but okay,
now he's married to a black woman. Whatever. There's all the elves there
helping them with his deliveries. But I'm gonna tell you, writing this script,
there had to have been some cocaine readily available because the subplots involved in
this movie was so crazy. I'm not gonna tell you everything. I won't
tell you the ending either, but maybe you'll see it one day. But
you can't think of this stuff while you're straight. You know. I had
my days writing scripts while high. Everything seems great. When you finally go
to bed and turn in the next morning, you go right back to your
laptop and you reread what you wrote, and you go, oh my god,
this is this is bad, this is insane. Delete delete, delete.
It sucks, but you you have to get rid of all that crazy
dialogue and impossible twists and turns that only drugs can make you come up with.
And it's a bad feeling to know you wasted three hours on shit,
and that's all got to be deleted. Because you know the thing about writing
a screenplayer or a book, for example, by the time you're done with
either of them, you've literally read those things over a hundred times, easy
over a hundred times, because you're constantly going back and making changes, especially
when the ends don't tie up them. The ropes don't tie together at the
end, you know what I mean. You can't have anything dangling. You
want something's covered. I get so nuts when a movie has something to hang
it wasn't covering in the end. I get like, how could they not
see that? I just you don't want to watch movies with me? I
go crazy. But you always got to go back and make changes. As
the great Gumple always says, if your ending is off, you got to
go back to the first act. That's what you'll find what's wrong, and
you fix it from there. And sometimes that's like a scavenger hunt. It
can take you all sorts of ways, but there comes that moment of clarity
when somehow it all works and you have to have someone you respect read it
because you're too close to it. You know, you sometimes can't understand if
it's even any good. That's why you know when I wrote when Coumple and
I wrote Whole Self In, which I think we both would feel is the
best thing we've written together. No, Neil's written scripts on its own that
are great, but I think that's our best effort, even though we sold
another one that never got made. But this Whole Self in, I've said
before, it's beautiful. And when I gave it to Warren Beatty Sean Penn,
basically not someone because I thought they'd make it, but because I wanted
them to read. I wanted their feedback, and the feedback was great from
both those guys. Not the bread, but that means a lot when you
go to guys like that, real filmmakers and see what they think, because
it happens. Sometimes you're too close to something you don't know that. I
don't know who wrote fat Man. I should look it up, but I
didn't. But it's crazy, it's crazy. I remember Smokey Robinson and I
used to talk at the Playboy Mansion parties, and unbelievably, he was a
fan of mine. I had no idea. I mean, why, why
would they even think something like that? So I mentioned this before one night,
I'm talking to some girls and you know, long, come Smokey Robinson,
those icy blue eyes and that smooth voice. And he goes, excuse
me, you're a J Benza. So yeah, because I'm a fan,
I'm Smokey. I said, I know who you are. You're a fan
of mine. I said, I gotta tell you you are one of them
of a writer and singer. And he was so happy that I said writer
first. I could tell even though he still sounds great with his voice,
but he's a writer at heart, because he was and still is very proud
of the songs he wrote for himself and the songs he wrote for other people.
He told me at one point that the song he'd better shop around he
wrote in thirty minutes and it was gonna be given to a friend of his
to record, and Barry Gordy over at Motown told him, no, no,
no, no, you gotta sing this song, smoke and he's like,
no, it's gonna go to think. The guy's name is Barrett,
I forget. It's no, it's going to sell and sell, and Barry's
like, no, it's not. No, you'll singing this song, so
he begrudgingly reported himself. A few weeks later, it's on the radio and
Barry Gordy calls at three o'clock in the morning and says, we got to
fix something. Would shop around. He says, man, it's three am.
Gordy says, Smoky, I know what's wrong with it. I know
what changes to make and it will shoot to number one, and Smokes like,
all right, you know it's been in rotation for two weeks. Gordy's
like, I'm pulling up from rotation. I'm gonna fix it. I know
what's wrong with it. Smokey says, I'll see you tomorrow. He's no,
not tomorrow now, Smokey. Now get the band here, let's get
to work. That's the way it was with Berry Gordy three o'clock in the
morning. I gotta do this now. I still remember it well, I
remember the changes. It's still in my head. And the band went in
and rerecorded it, and I think Berry Gordy change to melody, the bridge,
even the style of his sung in and indeed shot to number one within
a week. But what I mean is sometimes it takes someone else, another
writer, to hear what you sang or read what you wrote, and they
can find the things you miss because you've been too close to it. But
anyhow, watching If Fat Man made me think of working with Mel Gibson way
back in nineteen ninety six on the film Ransom Well. I was ninety five.
It came out in ninety six. I've always liked Gets. I love
him in movies. I know. He went berserk on the Pacific Coast Highway
that night and said all wars have started because of Jews, and he called
the female cop sugar tits, and then later on went on a high rate
with that phone call to his ex and wish that a pack of N words
would come together in rape or like awful stuff. It was horror fun.
He was also incredibly drunk, big drinker, back then, and I just
I don't know what. I can't judge a man completely for eternity for something
he said will absolutely pissed, drunk and about to be arrested. And I
know it's awful stuff. Some people can't forgive him. I get it,
but I did. I think he's paid his penance. Plus I love his
acting, from Braveheart to his little thing I just saw recently with Vince Vaughan
called Dragged Across Concrete. I like that he's making this slow comeback and people
are recognizing his acting again. No, that cancelation ship is falling to the
wayside. But he was always solid with me. And you know, I
brought up Chris Elise on the Patreon and the Free Show last week because he
was a very dear friend of mine who died at fifty one suddenly with all
the claws yet and I watched his funeral Saturday. You know, people can
send you the funeral now virtually on social media. Very moving, very sad.
I actually I watched it on Sunday and I didn't have any me to
do a show that night because it was just I was too torn up.
Just the fact that the show of the show the fact that the service ends
with people hugging each other and walking out of this room, and the casket
gets poult gets wheeled out of the room and all you left is a camera
showing you the empty funeral paul a room with a TV set of Chris's face
flickering on it. Eventually the TV gets turned off and it was just too
hardcore for me to see. That was a It was a brutal way to
end it. I could imagine what Gigi's going through, I think I can.
I didn't. I didn't know what it would be like seeing he grie,
which I did on camera. It was so awful and hurt, hurtful
to see that's life. He was loved. And that's why I didn't do
a show Sunday night for Monday. I wanted to recover from watching that.
But it's because the Chris's wife, Gigi, that I ever got the role
in Ransom. And I don't know if I haven't told that story to you
guys. I mean, my patrons have heard this. But Gi used to
watch me on the Gossip Show way back in the early nineties on the E
E channel that was a precursor to TMZ. Same kind of style show.
Not really, but there was no host. The cameras were just zooming on
us in our offices that we tell two or three minute stories of gossip.
Blah blah blah. Different columnists, different magazine writers, different whatever. It
was film reviews. An ead that gossip and was hired by He would be
on camera for three to four minutes a day. Then the show ran four
or five times a day. One night, Gigi, who was once married
to the mega producer Brian Grazer, she said to him, She's looking at
me, and I think I think he's got something and you should find a
spot for him in one of your movies. That's literally how that whole thing
happened. Next thing you know, he's called me up from his car,
introducing himself. The first time he called, I hung up. I thought
it was Chico making making a joke. But then he calls back. He
says, no, no, this is really Brian Grayser. I'm calling you
from California. You know I would like to have dinner with you. I'm
a fan of yours. I'm gonna be in New York next Tuesday. Why
don't we go out? Said sure, and I'll never forget We met at
Bowerie Barr meet him and his wife Gigi at the time, Russell Simmons and
a girlfriend of his. I forget who. And the next day he calls
again and says he's gonna send me sides to read for a part in the
movie Ransom with mel Gibson, that he's about to make a huge moment in
my life, you know, crazy and GEEZI told me no. I used
to look at you and tell Brian find something for him. Something he's gonna
you know, he's gonna hit I over so much. So the sides get
facts to me. And it was like the reading for the part of some
somebody who worked in a delicate Testine and it was like one line about you
want lettuce and mayonnaise. Some stupid I called him right away. I go,
really, one line as a guy who works in a Delhi You got
me reading for Delhi man. He goes, what, No, No,
No, that's wrong, that's a mistake. I'll call the office. I
want you to read for one of the kidnappers who takes mel and Renee Russo's
kid. All right, that's better. I go in and I read,
I prepare It was a great part. Well. I was up against Lee
of Schreiber, up against Ray Donovan for God's sake, and he rightfully got
the part. But both Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, a director, told
me we're gonna find something for you. You can do this after I read
and they said, you know what, we'll be in touch with the You
know you're gonna be in this movie. So I love very happy. Next
thing, I'm cast. I get to work a week on the film,
getting picked up at four thirty in the morning, along with Lily Taylor,
Delroy Lindo, Evan Chandler, some other actors and actresses, and we're gonna
be set in a story of Queens. Over the Bridge into Queens. And
you know, Mel Gibson was really really good to me, bring me into
his trailer. Have cappuccino was gonna be a nice cappuccino machine back then.
And I got to know him here that my nephew come watch dailies with everybody,
which they don't do anymore. But he wanted me to eat with the
stars of the film. You'd always have his seat for me at this table
just and back then he was as big as they got. You know.
So we got along break and I told you that story about me finding out
he was sleeping with this Cuban girl, Vivian, that I dated in the
past. So she calls me from Mel Gibson's hotel room. This is the
afternoon after the night I introduced him to her at Spy bar and she was
with me that night. Well, you know, we separated as we normally
did. We didn't mess around that night, and she ended up going back
to Mel's hotel because he flat out and asked me at the at the bar,
he mind if I make a move on her. I said no,
no, she's a good friend. We already had our fund go ahead.
And then he asked me if she's quiet, can he trust I said yeah,
basically meant you know, she didn have talked to a tabloid, and
I assured him she's not that kind of girl. She dated some monsters in
New York City. She knows better than open amount, so she's not gonna
tell secrets. Don't worry about it. The next day, she calls me
in my office from his hotel room and says, a j there is a
ton of Papa Rozzi outside the hotel. Somebody must have found out about me
going home with Mel. I said, okay, well you obviously slept with
him. She goes, well, no, I'm just I just we just
I said, Vivian, you slept with me, I know you sli with
Mel Gibson and that don't be ridiculous. And she didn't answer. I said,
listen, let me figure something out and i'll call you back. So
I called the producer, Joel Silver, who was as big as they get
back then, big time producer, and I explain what's happening in Mel's room
at that moment. Joel Silver initially doesn't believe me. It's not true.
Mellow's so loyal to his wife and kids, et cetera. I said,
Joel, Vivian was with me. I know her. She didn't go home
with Mel just to talk, all right, and look at baby pictures.
Give mccon wake up. Now. I've been up his ass to get into
Mel Gibson's next movie conspiracy theory, mind you. So now I get a
little bit of power here because he needs me for a favorite. I tell
him, if I make this go away and no one connects Vivian to Mel,
you gotta put me in conspiracy theory. I ba, I just strong
on him. He says. He agreed, because I just can't have this
press. I said, I'll take care of it. So I call another
gossip columns too, with friends of mine. I told him, Look,
you might hear a rumor that Mel Gibson and this Cuban chick had a fling
last night leaving spy bar. This paparazzi's all around the hotel he's at.
Now, do me a favorite. I'll owe you for this. I'm gonna
go to the hotel to a back door. I know the manager, he
knows what's what. The paparazzi already lined up to get a shot of her
coming out, you know. And the thing is, she's gonna be hand
in hand with me, and you can either report that she was with me
or don't write anything at all. Remember, I'll owe you you guys like
okay, you know funny and that happens with column sometimes she could be friendly
with each other in trade secrets and such. So I go to the hotel,
I slip ball of paparazi from the back door. I meet her up
in Mill's hallway and she and I walk out the front door hand hand and
his pictures popped on each side of us. But the pop Rozzi weren't pleased
that she wasn't with Mel. That was their money shot. Obviously, even
her alone could have been a story as Mel's mystery woman. You know,
Instead all they got was me holding her hand. Now they're like, well
wait a minute. The next day that other gossip columnists wrote that the pop
Rozzy would tipped off to the married actor and you know, superstar Mel Gibson
album in the town with mystery woman. But it wasn't what they thought.
The girls actually aj Benj's girlfriend. That's what I told him to say.
Now the issue was I already had a girlfriend, a very jealous Puerto Rican
girlfriend, and I warned her what's gonna come out in the paper the next
day or two, and she was rightfully pissed off. But I had to
do what I had to do. And you know, it took a lot
of arguing and prodding, but she eventually understood. But that was a tough
night. Joel Silver and Mel were very grateful. A couple of nights later,
I was a spy bar again. Mel's there, Joel Silver. I
had to get Joel Silver in They didn't believe he wasn't important enough. I
guess because he's like a chubby, gay producer, balding or actually bold,
and that's not the kind of person they wanted to look for the club.
But I had to go outside of old guys. This is Joel Silver,
the big producer led him in, so he's very happy about that. Vivian
was nowhere around and Mel was in the clear. That's when he told me
they had a part from me, a conspiracy theory, and I winked to
Joel Silver and he kind of strugged us at to say I did my part,
and he did. Of course. That part was me as a security
guard having to fight with Mel inside a Barnes and Noble store as he's trying
to steal the book catcher in the Rye, who was three nights of work.
I had a nice trailer outside the shoot on Union Square, right next
to one of the very first restaurants I could get into with relative ease,
even right before I became a full time gossip palumnist. As I was helping
out it inside Newsday and just finding hindems anywhere, the Coffee Shot was a
really hot spot. Yeah, she could have breakfast and dinner there at the
same you know, different hours didn't matter. He breakfast all day, dinner
all day. People and more importantly, beautiful young models weren't there and hung
out there. It was near all the modeling agencies, and you could imagine
it was insane. So I would go there all the time I was freshly
divorced. I would drive there and literally, like nurse, two drinks for
like four and a half hours. I was just trying to get delayed the
land, making connections, always on the lookout for pretty city girl. And
back then this plan I had was, Okay, I want some divorced,
I can go move with New York City. I can become a gossip columnist,
and then I'll eventually get into movies. I just felt it in my
bones. I told my roommates that, I told Chico, I told Johnny
Diaz, who lived with me. Everybody around me knew that was my plan.
Some of them thought I was crazy, that you can't just make that
happen, like I know, I'm gonna will it. I'm gonna will it.
Two years go by, and there I was. I had my gossip
drop, and then New York Daily News and a trailer outside the coffee shop
making a movie with movie stars like Mel Gibson and Julia Robins. It was
surreal. Anyhow, a lot of time has passed since then. Last time
I saw Mel was like twenty years ago. And so it was the night
some girl drugged my drink and I remember going outside. I had to go
outside and call my buddy Tony to come pick me up. I couldn't drive,
I was passing out, and Jeff Goldbloom and Mel Gibson helped me down
the stairs and took me outside the Sagard Bar in Beverly Hills and waited till
Tony came to pick me up. And the last thing I remember mel Gibson
saying to me was I'm glad you're done with that writing gossip. It was
too good for that shit. Anyway I want, I couldn't speak. I
wanted to go. Really, I bet I wasn't too good for it when
I was saving your ass through the column, right, you know. But
yeah, that's the way things went back then, Long before he used the
phrase sugar tits, he was being a bad boy. Sorry to take a
long trip down memory lane, but sometimes what I gotta do and then there's
a story that made the rounds the other day that I can completely believe in,
because there's something about old men in journalism that women should be fearful of,
or at least we're fearful of, and maybe they should continue to be
fearful of. And that's old men in journalism for some reason. Maybe he's
old older men in general, men with money, men with stature, think
they can go after younger women just because they've got money. It's like,
I know what I look like at sixty and one is not like what I
looked at thirty five. I completely see a difference in me. A lot
of me is the same, but visually physically I look different, not as
handsome, not as thin, not TV ready, if you want to say
that, but you look at like Charlie Rose and less moved it. These
are very rich, wealthy men who would make it very clearly we're trying to
pick up an actress or an interview subject. And apparently that's what Mike Wallace,
the old sixty minutes journalist, was trying to do with the Tina Turner
when he interviewed for I think back in ninety six, so maybe maybe two
thousand Anyhow, Mike Wallace interviewed tea In Turner for sixteen minutes, and he
made a lot of apparently a lot of sleazy remarks about a sex appeal.
Some former CBS employee named Leslie Moulson, who worked there from ninety six to
two thousand and four. She went on Twitter to tell her thousands of followers
that she saw unreleased footage all of an interview Mike Wallace conducted with Tina Turner,
which she abruptly halted the show. Tina Turney said, no inappropriate behavior.
You know, she didn't work it that way, but she was like
wood. So this former employee, Leslie Molson, says one assignment she had
in sixteen minutes was to watch old, raw, unedited interview footage. For
some reason she can't recall. That doesn't seem right to me. All right,
you know, she's making a I'm sure this happened, but whatever she
went on to say has been viewed more than six hundred and fifty thousand tons.
So she goes, I watched the royal footage of the nineteen ninety six
Wallace interview with Tina Turner and he interviews her at her estate in Nice France,
and it starts in the usual way with b roll of them walking up
the grounds of the house. Then they're sitting across from each other in a
sitting room and out of the gate. Immediately Mike Rowles begins to leer at
her and tell her how sexy she is. And as they talk, Molson
says, Wallace had a confident smirk on his face and what on about their
performances, how sexual they are, why are they so sexual? How sexual
is she? And all that kind of stuff. Tina looked at the camera's
mind. The word cut and the footage ends abruptly, and the final interview
that went to air, they looked to get on well. So CBS even
re shared to sit down following Tina's death the other day. And obviously Tina
Turner didn't hold any kind of grudge because she went on CBS for many years
afterwards. She even did an interview with Gale King in twenty eighteen, so
she held no grudge. But this employee of former employee Molson says that cameras
resumed filming after Tina seemingly chided Wallace for the unwanted questions and remarks, and
when filming resumes, Mike is profusely apologizing to her with this cheapest, cheapish
serious look on his face, and is promising to stick to questions about her
career. So Molson says, it's obvious that Tina gave Neil what for when
the camera stopped, and it was glorious because a few people had done that
to Mike, and it was glorious. Clearly, this former employee has a
grudge against Mike Wallace, but she worked with him. I didn't, but
she was very happy and saying it was great to see Tina call him out
like that. But to think that she had to deal with that shit from
an overpaid, predatory former game show host, despite her being one of the
most brilliant talents of the twentieth century is appalling. Yeah, I look figured
about former game show host. Mike Wallace established himself as a goddamn great journalist,
so let's not go back to one of his earlier jobs. That's ridiculous.
Molson continues and says the interview as it aired is bad enough. Actually,
Mike Wallace belittlety and turn his talent and also thought nothing of treating him
a zero respect until she threatened to kick him out of her house. Wallace
was an asshole of the highest order. I can see him being an asshole.
Sure he died back in twenty twelve. He worked for sixteen minutes from
nineteen sixty nine and twenty oh six. Let's face it, like I said,
considered one of the America's most legendary news reporters. But he did admit
to something in an All interview that he used to put his hands on the
backs of his female CBS News coworkers, and he would unsnap the class in
their bras, on their bras during the seventies and eighties. Meanwhile, another
producer named Ira Rosen, who's been there long ast time, he wrote in
that big book about sixty minutes back in twenty twenty one. Wallace regularly peppered
colleagues with questions about their sex lives. He lashed out of them for no
good reason. He grabbed the bottoms and breasts of women who worked there,
pulled him on his laps, snapped the bras. Cheez. We used to
snap girls bras in junior high school. I mean, I know that was
bad enough, but to do it as an adult, so now it's like
rewind the clock and canceled Mike Wallace because there was a sit down interview with
Barbra streisand he did apparently pushed her to tears, probing her about her painful
memories from her childhood. The one thing I don't like about this story,
well, there's a few things. I don't like that this girl doesn't remember
why she was assigned to view the old tapes, but remembers everything else.
Dude, that's always a that's a that bothers me. You gotta come up
with something better than that. I think she wanted to hunt. I think
this girl never liked Wallace and thinking, you know, I don't even go
after him. I'm want to bring on that old tape up and get along
Twitter, get my name out there again, let people know that I'm a
real female warrior. I'm not saying what Mike Wallace did, but Tina Turner
was admirable or even nice. But you know, it's again, it's like
throwback character assassination. Mike's gone, he can't comment, Tina's gone, she
can't comment. Obviously it was inappropriate what he clearly might have said or did,
but he was attracted to the lady, and he took a shot.
You know, no one got hurt, no one, no foul, she
said, ill no. And you know, guys back then could make a
pass and hope for the best. Times have changed now, but these progressives
have to relax, put away your fainting couches, and leave the man and
the Great Lady in peace. But I will say this, I've often wondered
where his son, Chris Wallace gets that move that fuck face about him when
he interviews like he knows it all. Have you watched by a look who's
talking to Chris Wallace? His new show on CNN's not new anymore. But
can someone let me know if they find anyone to actually talk to him.
I never catched the show. I don't know who's sat down on him yet,
but I find him he so phony and fake and one sided. But
obviously he must get that from his dad's ways with women. I think I
don't know how he learned from his knee. One good thing that I've learned
about that episode was that I wasn't sure about this. Bettina Turner and Jeff
Beck both had Lords of London policies. Tina had a legs insured obviously,
and Jeff had his hands. In short that turned up from that sixteen minutes
piece. But getting back to old men, old men with money. Oh,
I know a woman who was a beautiful woman who met bumped into Charlie
Rose quite a few times because he lived in the same street. And one
day, you know, he tells her, I got a little kitchen.
They finally o my kitchen. I can't wait to have a first meal there.
We reminded the whole thing. It's beautiful. I spent I don't know
much four hundred thousand dollars in the kitchen. Let me show it to you.
And she went and he made a move on her, and I said,
why did you fucking go? Who cares about Mike Balls his kitchen?
I mean, not Mike Bass, who cares about what's his name's picture?
Don't you know? Charlie Rose gets your up in his apartment, which is
huge, stuck. Don't be alone with guys like that. And she's like,
I know I shouldn't have done it, but he made him put his
hand on my leg and I let him. No. No, I don't
know why old men with money and big jobs think that that's all, that's
all they have to do. This just show up, put their hand on
a girl's body, and they'll go home with them. I don't know what
they think. It's very arrogant. I can understand why women want to scream
or you know, stick a pen in their eyes because a lot of those
old men who got washed away in twenty seventeen had bad ways about them.
I mean, I would stick up for a lot of them back in the
day. But you gotta go back in time and really listen to these stories.
Some of the things they did, literally chasing secretaries around desks, you
know, harding women in closets because somebody came in during a meeting and you
can't be here. I mean, women would just treated like if you listen
to females who worked in journalism or in film sets or movie studios in their
twenties and thirties, when they were really at their most beautiful and youthful,
they men were after them constantly. I'm sure it's to like that, but
it got so out of hand. There had to be some kind of reckoning,
and boy came in twenty seventeen. It got a lot of hand.
But I think the pendulum had to spring really wide that way and cast a
big net because there are a lot of guys going around snapping broas drafts and
doing stupid shit to grown women and just believing they could easily pick them off
and take them on because they were rich and had some gravitas and were famous.
That bothers me. But if you're a woman, don't go to the
fucking guy's house to see his new kitchen. No, it's a kitchen,
it's got a sink and other filled cares. O Christ, would you do
with a stranger? No? I don't know anyhow, Guys, I hope
you're enjoying your mortal day, barbecue, pool party, whatever it is should
do. But I'm here for another few days. I'm headed to Chicago on
Thursday to be with the family for my nephew Jackie celebration of life, and
I would imagine the free show next week will be either Monday or Tuesday,
because Sunday is going to be an all day affair with about forty people there
that's gonna end late, so I'll probably it's gonna start earlier than late,
so I'll probably put the show out a free show out Tuesday. Just know
that ahead of time so you don't panic when you don't see it. At
least I told you so right here on this show. That's it today,
Have a great holiday. It always feels weird saying I have a great holiday
when it's about dead soldiers. I don't think happy Memorial Day is a good
thing to say. But honor those who've obviously died during the military service protecting
US people who do silly things while they rich their lives every day. That's
it. Have a great rest of your holiday, weekend, whatever you want
to call it, three day bender, whatever you guys did. I'm a
