00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:06.440
Fame. He'd like to be walked
on a leash and play really dirty,

2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:11.160
kinky sex games. He's the guy
put the cock in the Peacock network.

3
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.240
Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody
a j Benzi here with Fame is a

4
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.160
Bitch. This is your free show
from Monday, June twenty six, twenty

5
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:23.600
twenty three. Manic Monday, as
we like to say, it's pretty manic.

6
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:27.280
I got news for people. Seems
to be a lot of stuff going

7
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.960
on in both the political arena and
show biz and every place else. It's

8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:37.600
been a wild June. There will
be a Politics is a Bitch tomorrow for

9
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:43.520
those of you who are inclined to
listen or have already joined up. If

10
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.600
you haven't, go to patreon dot
com slash Politics a Bitch. Did the

11
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.600
same thing for Fame as well,
Patreon dot com slash Fame's a Bitch and

12
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.240
enjoin the army. Um. You
know it's funny. It's not funny.

13
00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:00.560
It's kind of aggravating. Sometimes there
are people who will tell me, they'll

14
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.000
not tell me, they'll they'll put
it on some board. He's always asking

15
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.079
people to join up. He's always
it's always says no, no, I

16
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.840
say it once every three shows,
and I don't go on more than fifteen

17
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.719
seconds with it. But there are
politics, there are there are shows I

18
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:23.480
listened to that all begin with the
host trying to get people to go to

19
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.879
their Patreon page or whatever other extra
content they offer by going and paying an

20
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.879
extra five bucks a month. So
many shows do it, so I don't

21
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.079
want to get, you know,
kicked in the teeth every time I bring

22
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.760
it up. But you know this
is our bread and butter. Why wouldn't

23
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:44.959
you try to sell some some cold
cuts with the bread. I mean,

24
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.640
it makes sense, that's your business. You gotta speak up now. And

25
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.120
then, oh shit, I just
hit my sister's computer behind my laptop.

26
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.159
I think it's gonna reset. You
might hear some little beeps and whistles for

27
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.000
a couple of minutes, but we'll
be okay, We'll trudge along. I

28
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.799
hate computers. I hate all this
kind of stuff. I know the US,

29
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.960
it gives like two chances to get
something right. They ask you again,

30
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.919
are you sure? But I just
don't like the tone of computers.

31
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.719
I don't like how they can quickly
destroy your day or night. Not the

32
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:20.080
computers all black. I don't like
this at all this is bad anyhow,

33
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.039
folks, let's start listen Elvis Presley. I know the guy's been dead for

34
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.680
a long time, but he's back
on the news. Got every time somebody

35
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.840
needs some money or just wants to
start some crap, you just gotta bring

36
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.439
up Elvis. It's as easy as
that. The guy's got a lot of

37
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.680
corn troversity surrounding his life and his
death. Of course, his son,

38
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:46.159
I mean, his thought, his
daughter, his harsh son, his wife

39
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.520
x y, I mean this shiit
surrounding him all the time. You can

40
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.319
pick any story to go to and
Elvis, it just seems like a big

41
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.680
disaster. As great as he was, he left such a shit storm behind

42
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.280
him and then everything just fell part
in his family drugs and alcohol. Is

43
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:08.080
it because Lisa Marie took after him? It could be, And did her

44
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:14.560
son take after Grandpa? I don't
know, but what a very dysfunctional group

45
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.639
anyhow. Elvis Presley's stepbrother, who
we really want to hear from too often,

46
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:25.719
he's now come out and said he
believes Elvis died by suicide. He's

47
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:31.000
on an Amazon Prime documentary called Elvis's
Women. I saw a few minutes of

48
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:35.360
it. I would not recommend it. I didn't go back to it.

49
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.159
I might go back and finiship not
crazy about it. You got a bunch

50
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:45.159
of women on a documentary to talk
about how they were assaulted by Elvis,

51
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.879
you know, fifty years ago,
forty years ago. I can't stand this

52
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.479
ship, you know I can't.
I'm not saying he was an angel.

53
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.439
I don't think any man who lives
up to that kind of that kind of

54
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:03.080
fame and legend and just you know
what a career movies and singing, and

55
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:08.240
just the guy was a meteor.
It's gonna be women who get in his

56
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.639
way. There's gonna be women who, you know, he gets a quick

57
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.080
feel from. He might you know, at a party, grabbed him and

58
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.439
do something because he's the king.
I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying

59
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.759
it's bound to have happened. Not
to mention the thousands of women who threw

60
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.079
him, threw themselves at him night
and day, in any city, any

61
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:30.680
country in the world. There was
nobody bigger, nobody more beautiful until he

62
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:36.439
turned into Fat Elvis and uh,
you know, the Vegas Fat Elvis.

63
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:42.279
I still loved him, but you
know, nothing beat the black leathers suit.

64
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:51.040
Elvish just amazing, amazing performer.
So the step brother uh says he

65
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:59.199
premeditated taking all those medications that killed
him. This is David Stanley talking.

66
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.800
He said, love, hurt,
pain, exposure. He just couldn't take

67
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:10.000
it anymore. This guy's eighty five
years old. Now, yeah, eighty

68
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:14.480
five year olds. I gotta be
very confident in what they say. I

69
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.079
gotta look him in the eye.
I can't just read what they're saying.

70
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.759
He could be cuckoo in eighty five. So because of the love and the

71
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:29.319
hurt and the pain and the exposure, he couldn't take it anymore. He

72
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.639
says, Elvis couldn't carry on because
he had a lot of fears that his

73
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:39.920
relationships with teen girls would be laid
bare in a book. I don't think

74
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.399
Elvis would have been scared of that. I really don't. And this guy

75
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:50.399
ran with Elvis' entourage too. He
was even apparently in Graceland what Elvis thought

76
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:55.879
of the heart attack in the bathroom
as a result of a drug with Dovis

77
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.959
back in August of seventy seven.
I remember our good friends Arthy and Joey

78
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.120
Colucci and their daughters Devor and Barbara
were over. I think it was a

79
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.279
Saturday, or maybe a Sunday afternoon, Sunday morning, either way, Saturay

80
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:13.439
or Sunday. You know, Dorothy
is no longer with us, but Joey

81
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.439
and Dorothy Colucci were great. Joey
stoles around. He's great. Dorothy was

82
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.600
a big Elvis. Elvis fan right
now, she'd be about eighty, so,

83
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:26.600
yeah, she's writing at Elvis Hole
orbit. She opened up my sister's

84
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.839
kitchen door that went onto the deck
and screamed because our house was ripping her

85
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.040
and Rosalie's. We had connecting yards
and stuff without a compound. And she

86
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:40.680
went on night balcony, crying her
eyes at what's around him. Elvis Presley

87
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.959
died. And you know I was
young. I wasn't young. I was

88
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.000
about tenth grade, whatever the hell
it was, fifteen years old, ninth

89
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.959
tenth grade. You know, I
liked Elvis. I wasn't hung up on

90
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:54.360
him at that point. I knew
what he meant to society and to culture.

91
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.879
But I couldn't get any tears up. You know, not many fifteen

92
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.240
year old boys can do that when
a celebrity dies. But boy, she

93
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.480
was really ringing out the tears upstairs
on that deck, we had the consoler.

94
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.480
But this guy's claiming his taste for
young girls, Elvis, his taste

95
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.519
for young girls, even fifteen and
sixteen years old, made him sick,

96
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:23.800
he says. He says, it's
a miracle that Elvis wasn't busted. No

97
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.759
one's gonna bust Elvis. That wouldn't
have happened. But the guy says,

98
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.360
look, my step brother got out
here with things most people didn't because of

99
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.480
his money, his fortune, his
fame, power, charisma, magnetism.

100
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:41.160
Elvis could talk the socks off of
you a lot more than socks pal and

101
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.560
I'm sure he did just that with
thousands of women. So, like I

102
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.519
said, i've seen some of this
show came out in May interviews with a

103
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.519
bunch of women who say they were
pursued by Elvis at the very young ages.

104
00:07:54.439 --> 00:08:00.160
And it also goes into his relationship
with Priscilla Presley. Now they at

105
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:01.839
eleven year age difference, but at
least she was twenty one and he was

106
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.160
thirty two when they got married.
They met when she was much younger.

107
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.279
But I think that's that's side of
the story is going to be covered a

108
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:20.120
lot deeper with Sofia Coppola is it's
gonna have her movie called Priscilla, which

109
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.000
comes out in October. Knowing the
way she makes movies and she spent a

110
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.279
lot of time in this movie,
I think this is gonna be the penultimate

111
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.120
documentary about Priscilla and Elvis. I
don't think Sofia Coppola was gonna get this

112
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.360
wrong. She's too good at what
she does. So that's the one I'm

113
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.720
looking forward to the most. And
a matter of fact, a lot of

114
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:46.480
people at Elvis's estate have gone on
the record saying this films a piece of

115
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.519
shit. They call it horrible,
feels like a college movie. One of

116
00:08:50.559 --> 00:09:00.759
the officials they're reported, you know, I think TMZ was talking to the

117
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:05.960
people at grace Land, and they
also know that that Priscilla has been supportive

118
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.279
of the film. She wrote on
Instagram that she's excited about the interpretation of

119
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.000
my book by the masterful Sophia Coppola
because, like I said, she's got

120
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.840
extraordinary perspective and I've always been such
an admirer of her work. I'm certain

121
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:24.120
this movie will make everyone on an
emotional journey. Yeah, just like Austin

122
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:31.039
Butler did on the Elvis movie.
It's just amazing to me. In the

123
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.799
span of a week, we get
to see this country's fascination with Elvis and

124
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.639
the Titanic. I know Titanic was, you know, one hundred eleven years

125
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:46.120
ago, but it's always talked about
and documentaries are always made. Hope for

126
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.919
now they won't do it again for
a while. What else can you say,

127
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.440
but God, Elvis and the Titanic
just rest. We should let them

128
00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:00.559
rest. The guy was killing himself
slowly with drugs for years. He always

129
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.000
thought, no, he didn't like
his entourage to have illegal drugs on him.

130
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.679
Elvis just thought if a doctor sign
a prescription, he was good to

131
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.960
go, and there's nothing illegal about
that, even though he was overprescribed and

132
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:16.960
had so many more prescriptions than he
actually needed and could always get them with

133
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.720
the snap of a finger. You
think Elvis went to a doctor himself.

134
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.320
Now he had ten of twelve guys
going to doctors and getting all sorts of

135
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.480
prescription for him. And that's the
way it goes. When you're big and

136
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.639
powerful and you got all the money
in the fame and the magnetism, you

137
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.759
know, you got friends will do
that shit. I had friends do things

138
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.639
for me, and I was a
nobody. There's always hangers on who just

139
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.759
want to him a little bit of
your gleam, a little bit of your

140
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.120
What do you got going on in
your life? I like it. I

141
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.200
see it from the outside in,
but I want to be in the inside.

142
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.360
I want to see it really close. I wants on my own stuff.

143
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.960
That's when friendships begin a little difficult
because little jealousies developed. You got

144
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.840
to be careful. Love that guy
who always had your back, suddenly he

145
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.879
doesn't want to get your Let's say, I hate to say this word,

146
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.000
your leftovers. Let's put it out
with the girls that you figure I'm not

147
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.480
gonna be with the night. I
want this girl instead. And you know

148
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.399
a lot of friends thought to go, I don't like this ship. I

149
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.720
don't want leftovers again. I want
the real pretty girl. I want the

150
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.559
prettiest girl. It's not gonna happen
with overs in the room, you know.

151
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.080
But like I said, guy's been
He was killing himself slowly with drugs,

152
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.080
the slow slow death. It can
be fast, but I guess he

153
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:30.879
had a talent for mixing the wrong
drugs just precisely enough before it became too

154
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.080
much like Michael Jackson, like a
lot of people, like Prince, like

155
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:39.360
so many people. But I don't
see this as a suicide at all.

156
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.639
This is a tormented drug addict who
overdose after years of destroying his body.

157
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.399
His body was shot, and we
know he liked little girls. We know

158
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.720
Priscilla was young. So you know, I don't know what they're doing with

159
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.200
this, with this documentary. There's
too much stuff being put on streamers.

160
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:00.159
I know we all want to see
content, but I just said this on

161
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:05.519
the Patreon show. These streamers are
putting out too many movies, too much

162
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.879
content that really wouldn't pass muster several
years back, certainly wouldn't have made it

163
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:16.120
into theaters. But after the pandemic, you know, Hollywood and these streamers

164
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.679
have to recoup money they didn't make, so they have green lit so many

165
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.639
things. I just went down a
list of the shittiest things to watch on

166
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:28.799
Netflix and Amazon and Hulu. It's
an endless list, and it really has

167
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.519
changed the way we get our entertainment. Like, I don't I like binging

168
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.200
sometimes I like being home and having
a lot to do and going on,

169
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.919
I'm gonna watch you know, a
couple of seasons of this show, you

170
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.879
go through sixteen episodes. It's a
lot of time. It's a lot of

171
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.000
time. Two days you watch two
seasons. Sometimes you can do a whole

172
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.000
season and one day if you talk
Eli enough in the morning. But then

173
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:54.919
you tend to forget what happens.
There's something about a show unraveling every week

174
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.679
that you tend to remember climactic moments
a month, two months from now.

175
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.480
But when you see it all in
a day or two, you sit down

176
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.759
with your friend and go, wait, was he the eight that girl?

177
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.600
What happened in the first and second
episode? Did her mother die? Did

178
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.600
she get murdered? Like, you're
just getting so much content. It's it's

179
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.919
filled up your body to the brim
and you don't have any other space to

180
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.440
just kick shit around, kick the
tires, like what do I not remember?

181
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.240
It's just you get inundated with stuff
and that's just not the way it

182
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.799
should be. That's not the way
you should enjoy movies or TV series.

183
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:33.759
Could you imagine if we could we
could have binged All in the Family or

184
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.240
mash those shows never would have been
as good, nor minds. I don't

185
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.240
think so. But you know,
you also got to figure it that of

186
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.039
us was a guy we all know, greatest entertaining, one of the greatest

187
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.480
entertainers of all time, blessed with
the beautiful voice, but also grew up

188
00:13:52.519 --> 00:14:00.360
in a very dysfunctional family, not
a lot of money, very talented,

189
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:05.120
but also deeply flawed. And you
know, the press and people in Hollywood,

190
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:13.240
and we put entertainers on pedestals,
but we tend to forget these celebrities

191
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.759
all have feet of clay like we
do. And if the spotlight's too hot,

192
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:24.600
the ankles thought to melt, and
the entertainment topples over. Actually,

193
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.120
don't laugh for the National Enquirer,
who believe it or not, gets a

194
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:35.759
lot of things right, they really
do. When I was writing for the

195
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:41.120
tabloids, one of the bosses there
it was like, which one do you

196
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.759
want to write for? Radar,
Star or National Enquirer? I said,

197
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.720
well, how do you How do
you think the difference is a Puccino's periodicals?

198
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.399
He goes, Oh, Radars,
Radars basically mostly made up stuff.

199
00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:01.600
Star Magazine is a little more.
We tend to blow the kernel up,

200
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:05.279
blow up the kernel of the story
into a bigger story, and the Inquirer

201
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.320
we stand behind what the Inquirer has
most of the time, so they are

202
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.240
different in that respect. So the
National Inquirer they did a big investigation on

203
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:24.080
Elvis's children, apparently, and they
found that he had seven or eight children

204
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.879
by various women, and he took
care of them all. They all got

205
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.519
payouts. I think one or two
were even adopted. And then that report

206
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:39.840
was repeated recently in another tablet.
I can't remember, but you can find

207
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.840
it online and you looked it was
different times. Back then, people got

208
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:50.559
married young and early early marriages were
very common. I'm not defending Elvis if

209
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.519
that's the case, but you got
to remember the age of consent in a

210
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.360
lot of states was anywhere from thirteenth
to fifteen and the fifties, sixties,

211
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.960
and seventies, so it wasn't looked
down upon. In fact, goes into

212
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.240
some music from the sixties and seventies. Go listen to Gary Pucket and a

213
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.440
Union Gap sing young girl, My
God, young girl, get out of

214
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.559
my mind. My love for you
is way out of line. Better wrong

215
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.159
girl, You're a much too young
girl. No, I just got discussed

216
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:18.240
to hearing that last time. I
used to love this song when I was

217
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.919
a kid, but I was a
kid in the sixties where this sort of

218
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:29.039
thing happened with all the charms of
a woman. You kept the secret of

219
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.240
your youth. You led me to
believe you're old enough to give me love,

220
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:41.759
and now it hurts to know the
truth. Creepy, how about beneath

221
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.399
your perfume and makeup, you're just
a baby in disguise, And though you

222
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:52.519
know that it's wrong to be alone
with me, that come on look is

223
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.799
in your eyes. Yeah, blame
the young girl, She's the one doing

224
00:16:55.799 --> 00:17:00.480
it, not the adult. Get
I'll smack that come on love right off

225
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.599
your face. Girl. Go listen
to Ring No Start. You're sixteen,

226
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.519
You're a beautiful and you're mind.
We used to sing that in chorus in

227
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:15.359
elementary school, and the Beatles also
had I saw her standing there. The

228
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.160
first line is, well, she
was just seventeen, you know what I

229
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.200
mean in the way she looked was
baby on compare, Oh, how could

230
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:30.079
I dance with another when I saw
her standing there? And before the song

231
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.559
ends, he says I fell in
love with her seventeen, not as been

232
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.599
as fifteen and sixteen, but still
teen. And then, of course,

233
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:44.519
Chuck Berry, one of the creepiest
rock and rollers, sweet little sixteen,

234
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.920
she got the grown up blues,
tight dresses and lipstick. She's bought in

235
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:53.079
high heel shoes. Oh but tomorrow
morning she'll have to change her trend and

236
00:17:53.200 --> 00:18:00.200
be sweet sixteen and back in class
again. Oh boy, Chuck Berry to

237
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.759
pee on chicks and even smacked him
in the face, fart in their mouths.

238
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:08.519
I saw it with my eyes.
Peon chicks, smack him, put

239
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:12.920
his put his hands in their mouth, fart in their face while he was

240
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.079
naked. There's an old, grainy
black and white video of him in a

241
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:18.960
hot tub. You can find it. I think I like porn sites.

242
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.440
That's where I found it. I
was looking at I had heard about it.

243
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.200
I said, let me try a
porn hub or red tube and I'm

244
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:29.200
looking and yeah, it's a grainy, old black on white video. They're

245
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.160
in like a hot tub, and
he's kind of rough and tough with this

246
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:36.960
girl, not a girl, she's
a woman, but still literally farts in

247
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:41.839
her face, smacks her and peas
on him. Is this where r Kelly

248
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:47.640
picked up his creepy habits? Honestly, the whole Elvis thing sounds like the

249
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:52.160
stepbrother was broke broke, an old
and kooky eighty five. But look,

250
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.119
make no mistake, Elvis was a
heart attack waiting to happen. There was

251
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:03.839
no suicide. Speak enough guys who
have had mild heart attacks, not real

252
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:08.000
heart attacks. But Big scares Chris, No mister big from Sex in the

253
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:12.720
City, law and Order, Oh
my god, and the Good Wife.

254
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:18.400
This guy is still counting money from
law and Order, still counting money from

255
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.160
the Good Wife, still counting sex
in the city money. And yet he's

256
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:29.680
been on ice. Now, he
says he feels iced out by Sarah Jessica

257
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:36.119
Parker and the other sex in the
City hens after he was hit with multiple

258
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:44.599
sexual assault allegations two years ago,
almost three. Now he thinks to cast

259
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:51.640
oz him an apology because they gave
him the call's shoulder. Listen. I

260
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:56.160
know Chris Noath. I coached his
son for two years in soccer. Chris

261
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.559
was always the games. I've been
to his house, gracious host, through

262
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.400
a beautiful holiday party, through a
party when we when we're an undefeated number

263
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.000
one the soccer team. His son
was really good. Him, his son

264
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.240
and Rocco somewhe were just terrific.
And now we were undefeated and one the

265
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:18.920
whole thing. He doesn't like that
he's not invited today parties, doesn't get

266
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:25.759
greeting cards or happy birthday texts.
He wants s JP, Cynthia Nixon,

267
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:29.960
and Kristin Davis to be more friendly. He just wonders why they leave him

268
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:34.799
out in the cold. Look,
the thing is this, Chris Nolf was

269
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:40.519
never charged with a crime, and
he's always maintained that the sexual stories but

270
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:45.920
his accusers were all consensual, which
is a little bit tough to mention because

271
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.079
he was married for one or two
of those and his wife not the kind

272
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.839
of woman who would want to put
up with that. I haven't talked to

273
00:20:52.960 --> 00:21:00.400
him in a long time, but
yeah, all these accusations hit just when

274
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:10.039
they're stupid reboot and just like that
debuted multiple woman came forward and as you

275
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:14.359
remember, he was killed off right
away. But these stories, you know,

276
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:22.960
accusations made against him or anybody by
individuals that somebody meets decades ago.

277
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:27.160
It's just it's hard for a man
to sit there and see this happen to

278
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:32.799
another man when there's no court,
there's no actual charges, and yet everything

279
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:38.119
in his life gets flushed down the
toilet. You know, he knows no

280
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:44.119
always means no, and they were
aligns you don't cross. He's a big

281
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.400
boy. I used to be in
the same clubs as Chris back in the

282
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:49.599
New York City days when he was
doing a long honor. Chris had a

283
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.400
lot of fun. Wasn't married back
then. There was a time where he's

284
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:59.400
dating the former big supermodel Beverly Johnson. She had made claims after they broke

285
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:00.880
up that he that he hit her, that he used to be tough and

286
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.680
rough with her. I don't know. I think she was looking with some

287
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.519
money. Beverley Johnson found a way
to hang out with some very wealthy men

288
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.960
in Los Angeles who could help her
out with money because she hadn't worked in

289
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.720
many, many years. And I
know she's still don't have those modeling money

290
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:22.240
from the seventies and eighties. But
when I first when when the me too

291
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.640
moving first broke, I remember I
was having practice. Actually we're getting ready

292
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.920
for a game, and Chris knew. What I did he know was I

293
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.039
was a gossip column in New York
City and he's like he knew my relationship

294
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.599
with Harvey Weinstein because I was in
newspaper articles about him, and he came

295
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.960
up to me one day and very
sheepishly said, hey, man, I

296
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.519
mean, how far back are they're
gonna go with this me too stuff?

297
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.440
Do you have any idea? And
it always struck me as eerie that he

298
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.680
asked that question, says most guys, if you're innocent, why even worry

299
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.039
about how far back they go?
But if you're asking me, like a

300
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.640
guy who was involved in the stories
and knows the players, how many years

301
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.519
they're gonna go back, it's almost
like, you know, I mean,

302
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.920
I'm a little nervous now, I'm
not gonna lie. Chris Dolf had a

303
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:12.480
ball as a single guy, good
looking guy, you know, big,

304
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:21.640
tall, handsome dude, very magnetic, big hit show. Owned the nightclub

305
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.079
in New York City. He was
out of the ball. So sure,

306
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:29.599
there's gonna be women you take around, or you have a one night or

307
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:32.759
here, or one night or there, and maybe you didn't call them when

308
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:34.039
you got home, maybe you didn't
walk him to the car. There could

309
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.680
be a multitude of reasons why a
girl decides that's son of a bitch,

310
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.720
I'm gonna get him. But they
weren't getting him five years after the fact,

311
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.720
What three years or seven years or
five six years. No, they

312
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.960
waited twenty five and thirty. That's
what bugs me. They waited until the

313
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.759
meat tube movement came out. You
already know most of you know. I'm

314
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:55.880
not a believable woman. Guy.
I think it's the stupidest phrase ever coined.

315
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.359
You don't believe all women anymore than
you believe all men. People lie,

316
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:03.000
whether they got tits or a penis, it doesn't matter. Translies.

317
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.960
Everybody lies. I don't believe anybody. You just always, you know,

318
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:12.480
kind of cock your head and hope
to telling the truth. But it didn't

319
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:15.559
sit right to he asked me that
question. He might know that there was

320
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.039
some nights way back in the day
where you know, it's not this didn't

321
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:22.240
go this day didn't go the way
I planned. Didn't. Maybe the girl

322
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.400
can get mad at me down the
road. And when this ship was really

323
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.559
breaking, Harvey Weinstein told me himself, and maybe you've heard me say this,

324
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.559
I don't really want to believe it. But he was about to go

325
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:34.119
away. I talked to him when
he was in rehab Sex for You,

326
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.799
and he didn't like the fact that
I talked to the New York Times,

327
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:42.000
even though I had to because they
were mentioning me as some kind of helper

328
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:45.160
of his, and I said,
hey, man, damn right, I

329
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.119
talked because my story wasn't getting out
there, and I have a family defeat,

330
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.279
I have jobs to keep. I'm
not gonna let myself get moneyed around

331
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.599
with some bullshit story that I helped
you. You asked for my help before

332
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.039
you told me it was about rate
charges. It was just a hit piece

333
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.160
on you that's happened in the past
because you're being a bully, etc.

334
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:07.200
He goes, you know what,
ja, I just I'm surprised you'd talk.

335
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:10.160
You know, either you're a street
guy like me, you know this

336
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:15.119
kind of shit. I said,
Harvey, Look, they were all consentual.

337
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.400
It goes absolutely every one of them. Means you know something, j

338
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:23.880
If you were if you were still
in New York right now, and and

339
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:26.720
you had the kind of life you
had when you were running around New York

340
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.759
City prints of the city gossip column
is plenty of women, plenty of fun,

341
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.880
somebody would have come after you too. There's no way it proved that

342
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:37.759
I didn't move out of the country. I moved to a different city.

343
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.960
They could still come after me,
but no one did. Knock Wood.

344
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:47.440
But you know, as a man, you wonder well. I mean,

345
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.559
I never made a girl do something
she didn't want to do, and no

346
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.480
always meant no for me, because
first of all, I didn't hear no

347
00:25:55.680 --> 00:26:00.920
very often. Second of all,
I always had options, as much as

348
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.039
a guy like Chris Nolf had options. I got like Harvey didn't have options.

349
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.319
He had to throw himself at a
woman and you know, harangue her

350
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.960
because he just wasn't a good looking
guy. He was very powerful and wealthy,

351
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.240
and that goes a long way,
but his look certainly didn't match his

352
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:22.759
power. So you know, I
had options. If a girl was maybe

353
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.119
not into it or didn't want to
stay out later I couldn't get I would

354
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.720
leave before the word the letter end
formed at the tip of her lips.

355
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.720
I'm like, no problem, no
problem, I'll talk to you then some

356
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.240
other time. And I called another
girl who was down and was like,

357
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.359
yeah, let's go out. So
that could have happened, but no one's

358
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:48.319
ever gonna know. You know,
I just think he shouldn't be worried or

359
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.400
feel badly about these girls given him
the call shoulder. I know. He

360
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:57.440
was fired from his show The Equalizer
and that ad for Peloton that was a

361
00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:03.920
joke. They scrapped out his agency, a three artists got rid of them.

362
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:10.680
They killed him off in the first
episode of the spinoff. So now

363
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:17.400
you've got s JP, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis jumping to the front

364
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:22.480
of the line to speak out against
his sex allegation sex assault allegations. They

365
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.160
put out that joint statement after the
news broke. We're deeply saddened to hear

366
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.160
these allegations against Chris Noath. We
support the women who have come forward and

367
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.799
shared their painful experiences. We know
it must be very difficult, a difficult

368
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.680
thing to do, and we commend
them for it. Nothing about We've known

369
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.880
Chris for X amount of years.
While this is a very difficult time to

370
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.839
go through. We'd like to believe
our friend and co stars innocent of charges

371
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.880
until proven guilty, something along those
lines. But no, not with those

372
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:56.960
three yentas, and as of last
year, Sara Jessica Parker hasn't talked to

373
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.880
him once. I think, and
I said this way back, I think

374
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.480
they owed him an apology because they
jumped on him so goddamn quickly, and

375
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:07.759
they condemned him right away, and
there were there were never any charges nothing.

376
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:14.160
The way they supported the women with
claims against him, to me was

377
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:17.440
shady, was too quick. Either
they turned on him, you know,

378
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:21.880
they turned on someone considered a friend
for years just to appear woke, or

379
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.960
they knew that this stuff might have
happened. Maybe it happened to them,

380
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:29.680
and they continue to be his friend
until they were exposed. So take your

381
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:33.000
pick. If I was talking to
him, I'd say, Chris, you

382
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:38.039
dodged a bullet and just like that
is a shit show. You don't want

383
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.640
to be anywhere near that show.
If they didn't get you this time for

384
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.519
the sexual assault allegation, which had
not been proven, they find another way

385
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:51.720
to get you. He would have
been charged by now. It's my contention

386
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:55.160
the women accusing him were all looking
for a quick payout, or maybe they're

387
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:59.839
out for revenge being bumped and dumped. Like I said earlier, I think

388
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:02.720
having known him for a while and
ran in the same circles as he did,

389
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:06.960
I would say he was a serial
cheater, nothing more than that.

390
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:08.680
Now. I'm not saying he did
this on his wife. I didn't really

391
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:12.279
hang with him back that I hang
with him. His single. That's the

392
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:18.400
way I see it. Maybe I'm
wrong, maybe I'm right, But you

393
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.200
know, I was gonna say,
you know, all three of these chicks

394
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:27.640
voted for Biden. I'm sure Obama
definitely Clinton with all the women who lined

395
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:33.839
up with accusations against him, but
that never mattered. He was teflon.

396
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.960
Biden has his own indiscretions that we
see and hear about. Doesn't matter them.

397
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:44.839
The Tower read story that wasn't interesting
to talk about. They couldn't condemn

398
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:51.920
Joe Biden when the two read story
brokes sound pretty believable. So I was

399
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.319
gonna say, you know, all
these chicks voted for Biden and they're all

400
00:29:55.359 --> 00:30:00.519
liberals. Then I remembered Chris Note
is a huge liberal. We went to

401
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:04.519
his house one night for a holiday
party, big old party. I'm out

402
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:11.200
by the back bar and Trump was
running about to run for president, and

403
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.680
somehow the topic of the presidential election
came up. I was talking to his

404
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.920
female bartender and she was a Trump, a Trump person too, but she

405
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:21.759
said, just keep it down.
I don't want to. I said,

406
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:25.920
I'm not scared. I'm old Trump. I'm Trump all day. Fuck this

407
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.599
democrat liberal. No Trump all day
Chris hears that and goes, wait,

408
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:32.319
man, wait man, I don't
want to hear that in my house.

409
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:34.759
I go, yeah, I'm Trump
all day. I don't want these liberals

410
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:37.759
in a white house. No way. We had enough of his ship.

411
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:41.079
We need to clean this country up. I'm sick of this. He got

412
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:45.079
a little spirited in his backyard,
and about four or five days before that,

413
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:47.799
he goes, hey, man,
Anthony's holiday party. Let's get together,

414
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:49.200
you and I alone, but I'll
get some drinks and shoot the shit.

415
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.319
I said, great. Because he
had just had knee surgery. He

416
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.559
stayed in New York while we played
in LA and he would call on FaceTime

417
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.559
and I'd hold his wife's phone,
call her, and I take the phone

418
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.640
into the huddle so Chris could be
in the huddle with us or at the

419
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.279
halftime speech. And he didn't really
like to add too much. She used

420
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.799
to always tell me, you,
coach, you talk to my son.

421
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:12.000
He won't listen to me. He's
at that age where he won't listen to

422
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:15.759
me. I found it odd too, because there's no way Rockle doesn't listen

423
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.079
to me. I would never tell
another man you talked to him. He

424
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.519
will listen to me, but he
was a good guy to have a round.

425
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.640
I enjoyed his company, but we
never went out. I think because

426
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.640
he heard that Trump stuff, he
didn't want any part of me. And

427
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:34.079
now these three yentis who all voted
for Biden and are all woke liberals,

428
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:41.880
now they want no part of you. So in Italian we say spooda spitting

429
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.880
the sky and it falls in your
face, and that's what seems to have

430
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:51.440
happened to year. That's it for
today, gang, I'm aj Benza.

431

That was your free show from Monday, June twenty six, twenty twenty three.

Fame is a bitch manic Monday.

enough energy to do it. And you

says, it's less than a glass
of beer and it's twice the bus.

438
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:22.319
I like that expression. I'm not
going to steal it, but once in

I always got copetit to him all right,
