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, what's that sound? Boy? Back in the
day, hearing this sound at three thirty in the morning was a bad thing.
But now it's connoring in comforty because today it's the free show. Yes,
his fame as a bitch free show. My little birdies, my finches,
my hunting birds, my nightingales, my robbins, my crackles, even
a few ravens out there. It's hanny to get to the show. Come
here, some hearing worms, I see some wearing grubs. Good for you
people. I'm really happy you're here. Anybody make the move to Patreon?
Yet? What is no birds? Turpy? Do we keep playing this whole
show? What do you want to do? I'm only kidding. Hey,
gang, nice, nice to be with you. Just got a nice steaming
cup of my ginger tea. I like taking a throat coat bedtime tea because
it tastes so good. It's got bergamot in it, lavender and all sorts
of stuff I like. But it just gets me drowsy. It's too early
to be drowsy. So I take ginger tea and I love it and it's
good on the throat. Well, let's see, there's a lot of stuff
going on in Hollywood, is specially well, this is not quite Hollywood.
But the next story I do after this story will be about sports, and
it really blows my mind. But this is the world we live in and
it deserves to be spoken about. First of all, Helen Mirren, the
Great Helen Mirren. She thinks it's incredibly stupid to claim that people in the
entertainment industry should only play whatever they are in real life. This has obviously
become a topic because Helen Mirren is playing Gold of My Ear in the upcoming
movie Golda, about the legendary Israeli Prime Minister and her leadership during the Young
Coppola War. I wish they'd start coming up with better titles. I know
that the Harriet Tubman movie, somebody said, let's just call it Harriet the
Gold of My Hear movie, Let's just call it GOLDA. Can't we just
be a little more creative with the titles. I don't know anyhow. Helen
Mirren and the writer Nicholas Martin they're not Jewish, and boy, that's caused
some people to get very upset because they have nothing else to do. We've
talked about these people before. They don't care how good an actor Helen Mirren
or many other people are. They just don't want to see somebody play that
role. Who really isn't that person through bloodline or you know, it's just
ridiculous. There's this one notable critic of Helen Mirren playing Gold in My Air.
It's an actress named Maureen Lippmann and she told the Jewish Chronicle, I
didn't read that this week my Jewish Chronicle. Usually I have it over a
onion Bengel with a schmeer of cream cheese, but I didn't do it this
week. But the Jewish Chronicle she said, I'm sure Helen will be marvelous,
but it would never be allowed for Ben Kingsley to play Nelson Mandela.
You just couldn't go there. Well, you know what, Ben Kingsley is
part Indian and Nelson Mandela was black, So yeah, I don't think.
I don't think Ben's gonna be brought in to read for the Nelson Mandela movie.
Stop it. We know that's Morgan Freeman's roll the whole way okay,
But good for Helen Mirren. She's not backing down, she's not apologizing.
I like that, and she loves writers. Helen read my script, me
and Compel's script Whole Self in because she's married to a director that did a
lot of beautiful things back in the day. Yeah, when we wrote Whole
Self and me and Neil always had obviously elderly actresses in mine because it sent
us around this old woman named Katherine in our screenplay, and we went through
Ellen Burston, Elaine Stritch, Sally Field, even We even gave the script
to Warren Batty to see if he thought his sister Shirley McClain could play the
role. Shirley loved it. She said, this is a great screenplay,
but you don't want to hire me. I travel with eight different people,
a hairstylist, an astrologer, somebody who reads her palm. It's just a
massage massus. It's a nightmare. At least she was upfront. Ellen Burston
said, I don't want to play anybody that age. Memal, she's about
four years younger than our character. Then her next movie she played somebody very
old, so actresses and actors are a weird lot. But Taylor Hatford,
Helen Mirren's husband only made movies called Devil's Advocate, Ray Officer and a Gentleman
Dolores Claiborne. I mean, this guy no knows how to direct a classic
movie. He's done it time and time again. The Comedian, which wasn't
great, but I liked de Niro's work against all odds. Rachel Oh,
my god, rememin that movie. Rachel Brown. She came out in this
movie, Nobody, I mean god, Rachel Ward. Rachel Ward was in
this movie with Jeff Bridges. My sister was crazy about Of the Rain.
Read the book. It was a miniseries on TV. I know I'm getting
off track, but James Woods is in there, some really good Richard Widmark.
But Bridges and Rachel Ward have this insane affair. And she was gorgeous.
And Brian Brown, the old Australian actor, saw her in that movie,
scooped her away, took her out of Hollywood, moved down to a
farm in Australia, and that was the last, pretty much the last we
ever saw of Rachel Ward. Thanks to Brian Brown. He did not want
that and to go through the gauntlet in Hollywood. But that was some movie,
and that's Taylor Hackford, and we knew that if we gave it to
Taylor, he would try to get his wife to play the role of Catherine.
Taylor Hackford got it. He loved it. Then he told our connection
listen, I love it, but I've got to read it again this time
as a director, and meaning he really has to think about the shots and
how the budget would be and how many locations, that kind of stuff.
And he came back basically saying, it's great script. I don't think Helen's
up for this task. It's not really what she sees herself in which I
don't get she decided to do a movie where she plays a spy with Bruce
Willis and Morgan Freeman. I did choices, people make whatever. But these
actresses when they get to be a certain age, even the actors, they
have all the money in the world they want, and they start thinking,
do I want to shoot a movie there? Do all want us spend forty
days away from family, away from the comforts of my home. Most of
it will be on green screen, not not in my movie, but other
movies. You know how many days will that mean and a trailer a lot
goes into their thought process, so we got to know. But Helen Mirren
would have been great. And you know again our character Catherine was more than
likely Jewish, although we really never say it, but actors and actresses can
play different people. And Helen Mirren's not backing down that she got the part
to play Golda. She said, it's more frightening for a writer to be
told they're not allowed to write about subjects with which they don't have an immediate
DNA connection must be very alarming and ridiculous. Goods. It's a problem for
some people, but you know, the director couldn't care less. In fact,
he told the Radio Times that the situation is creeping authoritarianism. Am I
just supposed to write about middle aged men living in the south of London?
Good point. They're both one hundred percent correct. The idea that actors and
writers should only play their specific sexual orientation, race or religion. It's just
it's nuts. It's called acting. It's not real. That's the whole point.
Even if the story is true, like the Gold of My Air story,
you don't need to cast exclusively Jewish people. What are we even talking
about here. You tell them me. If there's a World War two movie
or TV show, all the writers and actors should only be whatever their specific
characters are. Let's take Band of Brothers, greatest war story ever told,
and the lead actors Damian Lewis, and he hit it out of the park
as an American officer named Richard Winters. You know where he's from, right,
He's British, but he gave an all time great performance. So should
all the actors and Band of Brothers playing German roles? Should they have been
German? No, it's not a new situation. We've talked about this on
the show before. Some people are just dumb enough that they apologize, and
that opens the floodgates. Jenny Slap, the funny girl with the big nose,
who's very, very funny in the roles she plays. She infamously apologized
for playing a black character on the cartoon called big Mouth. No need to
say is sorry. And speaking of Helen Mire, and she plays an American
ranch or in nineteen twenty three the Taylor Sheridan Show and she's great. You
tell me, I shouldn't be allowed. The writer and showrunner Taylor Sheridan isn't
Native American, but if you've watched his work, he's written plenty of storylines
about Native Americans in film and TV. Just hidly the best roles, the
best people for the best roles, and the best people to write it.
It's not complicated. But apparently some people just don't understand it. And this
is ridiculous. So how about we go fowe to make a deal. No
gay actor can play anything but a gay actor. How do you like that?
You guys happy with that? Of course you're not. No black actor
can play any role originated as a white character. That wouldn't make them happy.
No able actor can play any actor that is disabled. Think of some
of your favorite movies. What that would have done. Jamie Fox wouldn't have
played Ray Chaws, you know. Come on, Tom Cruise wouldn't have done
Born on the fourth of July, goes on and on. No autistic actor
can ever play any any new role typical character. No actor who's not been
the victim of a sexual assault can ever play a character that is the victim
of a sexual assault. This is the sort of bullshit that creeps into everybody,
even those people who have had huge successes. If you go back to
one of the best TV shows of all time, The Wire, written by
David Simon, that show couldn't get made today, especially the way it was
created by David Simon, because he's a white dude and it sent it around
black crime in a very black part of town. And David Simon is stupid
enough to say in interviews that he regrets the lack of diversity in the writer's
room. Why you wrote one of the best dramas ever on TV. These
are issues. I mean, not every writer on Sopranos was Italian, not
every showrunner was Italian, few of them were. When there are issues when
Hollywood would would have white actors portray non white characters under this fear that they
need name stars, but also never developed non white stars since they don't think
they will sell well. And to this day they'll do things like shrink John
Boyega off a Star Wars poster in China under the mistaken belief that other countries
are as racist as too many Hollywood producers are. And then we go through
the jew face accusations. Remember that being Jewish is not an automatic ticket to
success in Hollywood, but ignoring the fact that Jews have, you know,
prominent positions in corporate leadership and in acting and directing and writing, is the
same as other marginalized groups. That's foolish. Helen Mirren and Bradley Cooper are
not out to portray lazy stereotypes of Jews for cheap laughs. They're taking their
work seriously. It is not the same issue as white performers in blackface or
John Wayne playing ganghas Kan. It's way different when you've got all these efforts
going on right now to offer stories about you know, people of color,
LGBT, disabled and other marginalized groups, and that also needs to include people
of those identities and the key leadership and then creative roles you see there.
But it's just, you know, it's lazy accounting where one person involved not
checking every box is going to just allow the same cowardly Hollywood power brokers to
just say no to any new and challenging stories and instead go right back to
remaking classic films and TV that have no need of being retouched. I'm old
enough to remember when it used to be that playing roles outside your own race
or religion was a way of showcasing your acting range. See Modern Brando and
the Godfather, James Kahn and the Godfather. It goes on and on.
Alpaccino in Scarface, I woke up to I think the best story in a
long time. I'm so happy to talk about it. It's about the La
Dodger farmer pitcher Trevor Bower, who I think was sitting on a three hundred
million dollar contract. He'd won the Say Young Award. He was on his
to being a long time ace in Major League Baseball, and then he went
and met a girl and had a couple of dates that included rough sex.
It was consensual, that's what he's always claimed. And when the girl got
a little chippy and started saying that he hurt me, things got ugly.
But today or yesterday, on different platforms, he's out there talking Trevor Baller
and he's finally able to tell his story. And this video was very nicely
done. It says next victim, star pitcher for the Dodgers. And there's
a text that the girl he dated, Lindsay Hill, sent to a friend
before she ever even met him, and she said to that friend, what
should I steal? And she asked another in reference to visiting his house for
the first time. The answer was take his money, girl, So how
might that work? Well, I'm to his house Wednesday, she said,
I already have my hooks in. You know how I roll. Then,
after the first time they met, Trevor Bauer said, her text said net
worth is fifty one million, and her friend said, bitch, you'd better
secure the bag. But how is she going to do that? She wrote
back, I need Daddy to choke me out being an absolute whore to try
to get on his fifty one million. This is what she's talking to a
girlfriend about. Then, after the second time they met, a former pitcher
for the Padres, Jacob Nicks, told her, you gotta get this bag.
I'm thinking another guy saying that to a girl. He said, you
get the bag, I'll give you fifty thousand. She said. She told
him, Jacob Nicks, if I get the bag, I'll give you fifty
thousand. Even her alcoholics. Anonymous sponsor asked her at one point, do
you feel a tiny bit guilty? And she responded, not really. So
that speech he made and you can still see it. It puts a whole
new spin on the whole Trevor Bauers situation, which was ugly from the start,
and it led to him getting suspended from Major League Baseball, and after
he was reinstated from a suspension, the LA Dodgers moved on. They wanted
no part of him, and he spent the past year pitching in Japan.
And he continued in the video by explaining more about what happened. He said
quote. Since then, her legal team has approached me multiple times about coming
to a financial settlement, but as I've done since day one, I refused
to pay her even a single sent By the way, do you guys notice
I always stayed the ARIA or the park MGM most of the time. I
don't know. Three weeks ago there was a hack that affected all MGM properties
to the point where the front desk wasn't working. The computers people have to
be checked in manually with a flipboard slot machines weren't working. Even the automatic
blinds that close and open via electricity or to switch on the wall, they
weren't working. Some elevators were out. Thank god, it wasn't when I
was there. But that's still going on, still going on. They losing
eight million dollars a day. I don't know why I was attaching that story
to this. I forgot, oh the fact that Trevor Ballert didn't refuse to
pay her a single cent. Well, MGM has refused to pay these hackers
a single cent. They losing eight million a day. When it happened to
Sees's palace about a month or two ago. They paid the ransom right away
and they would back up operating. But these hackers want fifteen million from MGM
and they won't do it. I think it's getting closer to being solved,
but what a nightmare, he goes on to say. In August the twenty
twenty one, Lindsay Hill's claims were heard in court, and during those legal
proceedings, critical information was deliberately and unlawfully concealed from me and my legal team.
Information like this video shows a video of Lindsey Hill is taking this video
in the morning, the morning after she claimed she was brutally attacked, emotionally
traumatized and desperate to get away from him. He's sleeping with an ipack an
eyemask on, and she's smiling to the camera and mugging for the camera.
And they have the metadata so there can be no dispute. It was taken
minutes before she left his house on the morning of May sixteenth, twenty twenty
one, and Trevor states, without my knowledge or consent, of course,
in it, you can see her lying in the bed next to me while
I'm sleeping, smirking at the camera, without a care in the world or
any marks on her face. No, I think it paints a pretty clear
picture of what actually happened the evening of May fifteenth, and why the video
was originally concealed from us. Then he went and discussed a specific legal proceeding
and why he ultimately decided to sue Lindsey Hill, because he said, after
hearing the evidence available to her, the judge Diana Gould Saltman found that Lindsay
Hill had misled the court, and she found her claims to be materialistically materially
misleading, and she denied her request for a domestic violence restraining order. Denied
it that doesn't happen often, and she found that no sexual assault or non
consensual conduct took place. Now, Trevor says, some of you might not
know about restraining order hearings. I know I didn't, but I've since learned
that it's extremely rare for a request for a restraining order to be denied because
the standard of proof that you need to obtain one is extremely low, So
you can make of that what you will. The fact is I was never
arrested, I was never charged with a crime, and I won the only
legal proceeding that took place without my side of the story even being heard.
Most important, as I've said from day one, I never sexually assaulted Lindsey
Hill, or anyone else for that matter. So I sued her, which
prompted her to count assume me. Quite frankly, regardless of the outcome in
court, I've paid significantly more in legal fees than Lindsay Hill could ever pay
me in her entire life, and I knew that would be the case going
in. But the lawsuit was never about the money for me. It was
about the only way for me to obtain critical information to clear my name.
Now, this poor guy's baseball future is uncertain. Despite all this information,
There are no guarantees as to whether or not he's going to return to MLB,
and that isn't a product of teams wanting him or not. He seems
to enjoy pitching in Japan, but you know, one would certainly imagine he'd
welcome a return to Major League Baseball if and when the opportunity presents itself.
And he finished a video by sharing more important information and commented on his future
not just in baseball, but in life. He said. The discovery process
us in that lawsuit recently concluded, at which point Lindsay Hill's legal team again
came to us with another proposal to resolve the case. This time, however,
they weren't seeking any money from me. Having received much of the information
that had been hidden from us, a small portion of which I've referenced here,
I was willing to agree to the terms proposed that both parties would drop
their respective lawsuits and neither of us would pay either side any money. I
also retained my right to speak publicly about the case, something I have not
been at liberty to do since June of twenty twenty one. So, as
of today, both lawsuits have been settled. See it makes you think we're
sitting there and here going Why would he claim his innocence it's been two years.
Well, he couldn't, he wasn't allowed to. But over the last
two years he was forced to defend his integrity and his reputation in a very
public setting. But hopefully this is the last time he or someone else has
to do this. These athletes want to stay focused on their jobs. Is
not entertaining fans around the world. One message that he included in the video,
claiming that Hill tried to frame him for money digit chills net worth is
fifty one mill bitchy bits two of that bag. That's just disgusting, just
disgusting. But you know, believe all women, right, Gotta believe all
women. And in a very strange twist to all this, for some reason,
she walked away with three hundred thousand dollars, not from Bower but her
insurance company. I'm trying to figure out why that would be not a bad
haul for her. But to make this even more sickening, she's off to
the next chapter of her life, helping others, as she said she wants
to do with similar experiences. What does that mean helping others? Is she
going to teach them how to extort money? And once again, the real
losers here are actual victims of sexual assault who don't get to tell their stories,
and people don't believe that. I don't understand three hundred thousand dollars from
her insurance company. What kind of policy is that. Look, I've been
square from day one. Anyone who loses a race or sex hoax should pay,
and they should face the same punishment as the guilty defendant. That's the
ilemented. Shit's gonna stop. Oh and by the way, I did have
him to remember that. Trevor Bauer also did say some nice things about President
Trump. Now, I'm sure that didn't help him one bit. However,
if he said big thing nice things about Mike and Mike and Obama or Barack
or Hillary, we'd be looking at a very different outcoming, you know him.
Right. By the way, whatever happened at a phone call, the
nine one one call about the Obama's chef falling off his paddle board and eight
feet of pond water dying, come? We no more about that story,
I guess not. If I'm Trevor Bauer, I'm suing Major League Baseball and
the commissioner of the league personally for lost wages, for emotional pain, suffering
and defamation. I asked for eighty to one hundred million dollars. It's a
good settlement. They because what they did is they followed the same guilty until
proven innocent. Bullshit what you see going on with Russell brand now and the
Dodgers should be sued as well, contract terminated and thrown out of baseball because
of accusations. And I know it's impossible with trial by media today, but
I wish. I wish the lawsuits were anonymous until the verdict is reached.
I think that'd be a big help because this way, female victims get their
day in court versus actual assault, and men are protected versus false allegations.
No one loses their job or career after being innocent. But if guilty,
have at it. My guess is the court case drops a significant present because
howells to extort someone? Anyone who doubts just watched the ESPN documentary called Fantastic
Laws about the Duke lacrosse team who everybody deemed guilty. It's jaw dropping how
those boys were railroaded and just college kids. Can you imagine what certain people
would do to earn millions awful lae against a rich and famous athlete or a
celebrity. You know, God, Look, the guy served his suspension,
it wasn't charged criminally, he settled all civil actions. The question is will
a Major League Baseball team take a risk, knowing that they'll also be judged
in the court of public opinion. It's high risk, but the potential reward
to get a Cy Young Award winning pitcher. He can pitch for the Yankees
as soon as he wants. And I'll tell you something right now. The
Yankees had a picture of him, Domino Herman, who one season a few
years ago looked to be this ace out of nowhere. He had a great
year. I forget the year, the year that Rosalie and Jack were moving
to Illinois. Every time he pitched, it was so exciting. Domino Herman.
Then came a party when the Yankees won the division, I believe,
and there was a party, but the husbands and wives and the girlfriends,
you name it, and fairly Domingo Herman, who was I don't know from
where, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, one of those countries down there.
Well, the wife said something and he punched her in the face, not
alone in a corner or in an elevator. He did it in front of
all the players. Then he did it again and again, and a bunch
of Yankees got up and ripped him off her and they gave him the what
four. Matter of fact, some guys said publicly they want to never see
that guy again. Before you get to that woman, they all came to
her rescue. There was some guys in it. He would rather leave.
The Yankees didn't play with that guy. He got suspended for a long ass
time. And when he was suspended that he had ideas about suicide. And
then he came around I want to play, oh, but I'm want to
kill myself. The guy lost his mind. This is his future in baseball
is probably going to end. And a guy like that, with all that
talent, I know he hit his wife. It's awful. I'm not saying
it's the way they the way the marriage works if that's not right, but
that is somewhat of a cultural difference. I hate to say it, but
still wrong is wrong. The guy needed to be punished. But that's the
kind of guy that will kill himself because of this, because the one thing
he does great, he's not allowed to do. But at least in that
situation that will witnesses and saw him wailing on his wife, And good on
the Yankees for taking him apart, and not easily or gently. I might
add but the Dodgers, these Dodgers, they fit so perfectly into Los Angeles
and California and all the woke bullshit out here. Used to be a great
state. When I first moved here in ninety seven, I remember the smell
and eucalyptus trees, and I had this little garden behind my little bung below
and we'd do these shoots up in the Hollywood Hills and I'd smell all these
beautiful flowers. It was like another world. I remember turning into Robert Evans
driveway and seeing these eucalyptus trees one hundred feet tall in the back by the
tennis courts. And he had so many candles, vanilla candles that lined his
driveway and when all around his house. He had them made special and he
always had them lit every time people came by it. Man, it's just
smell magnificent there, not like hot panther piss, which New York City smells
like. Believe all women. Though California is once a great state, none
no more. Now it's controlled by the radical leftists and Black Lives Matter and
all this other nonsense. So you could do what you want, but believe
all women, even when they're destroying someone for money, Nah, not for
me. Oh, but don't believe them when they're accusing a democrat of sexual
misconduct, because then they're lying. Isn't that the way things go nowadays?
I got a tiptoe. He's not wrong, but he's not right. I
don't care what a woman wants. If they say hit me or choke me
or pe on me, run and block their number. No reason to ever
do those things. There's some serious, very serious underlying issues with anyone who
wants to be abused, and you can't help them. You just gotta run.
