Fame. He'd like to be walked on a leash and play really dirty,
kinky sex games. He's uh the guy put the cock in the peacock network.
Okay, bitch, don't call to come back. I've been here for
years. I'm rucking my peers, putting something's in fear making the tears rain
down like a monsoon. Listen to the basic boom. Hey, everybody's a
j Benzi here with your free show for September eighteenth, twenty twenty three.
Yes, indeed, don't call to come back. I didn't go far.
I was gone a month. Did you miss me? Did you find yourself
saying where's aj? Did you find yourself saying let's put this fucking guy all
my shows? I know I got a bunch of yelling and screaming at me.
I appreciate it. It means you're longed to content, you like to
content, but you want it. I get it. I just wanted to
give you a little bit of you know, I'm gonna give you a little
shit for that's all. I want you guys in the team. I want
you as patrons, so you know, once in a while I rain the
horse say a little bit. See if you love me, You're not because
I love you anyway, I'm moving on. Guys. This is your free
show September eighteenth, twenty twenty three, your first free show since August seventeenth.
Honestly, I decided enough time has passed and it was time to get
back on the horse and record some free shows for you guys. So honestly,
I want to encourage you to become patrons. It was a hell of
a month gang, A lot of good stuff, A lot of stories broke
that I was on top of and have been on top of for months.
Some I was on top for years. Take for example, Hugh Jackman and
Debrahly Fernas separating. I'm not hanging on two thin of a branch when I
said the end was near for those two lovebirds a long time ago. This
has been a twenty seven year lavender marriage. I don't care what you see
in the news or in the papers. Run the internet of Hugh Jackman riding
his bike, look looking so upset and said, you know, he's riding
a bike for Manhattan, the filthiest rat hole in America. That's why he
said, twenty seven years they're married. Am I showing my age? By
using the term lavender marriage. You guys know what that means. Many years
ago, lavender marriage. Lavender was the color used to represent homosexuals, and
there were tons of these lavender marriages in Hollywood, and it still are today.
It's but you know, it's not quite as damaging to an actor's career
as it used to be. But I you know, I pegged this is
a lavender marriage a long time ago. And again I'm not saying that I'm
the great Kreskin. I think I'm dating myself with the Kreskin reference as well.
See, Kreskin was a guy that Johnny Costing used to play who could
read minds and do whatever. But some of these marriages, lavender marriage is
back on the old days in Hollywood's golden era. That's a big famous people.
During the nineteen twenties, many people believed that the actor Rudolph Valentino was
gay, and this information would eventually lead to a public relations problem and obviously
affect the worldwide acceptance of the handsome, top rated actor. The Latin lover,
by the way, put a pin in that for a second. I
told you guys, well, I told my patrons about the first bungalow I've
moved into. When I first came to Hollywood, it was a place called
Normandy Towers and it was designed and built by Charlie Chaplin. In fact,
he lived there. It was so close to the Warner Brothers lot that back
then actors would take horses to and from the set. And when I lived
there, I was in number nine. Number nine is where Malan Monroe once
lived. I'm talking tiny bungalow like I didn't even have room for a couch
bigger than four feet in My living room was hardly living room. The kitchen
was the size of a bathroom, you know, But I loved it.
You have to see what I'm taught. Go on go online and look up
Normandy Towers. If you get a chance, you'll see how quaint and really
pretty and beautiful it is now. But the only reason I found that place
was because I linked up with this girl I was friendly with the New York
City. She was a stripper. We h got a lot, good girl.
And when I came to La looking for a place, I was in
here yet I was visiting staying my uncle Vinny. I knew she worked in
La. She moved I went to the restaurant to go see her at the
Bellache Hotel and let's go out for drinks. And we go back to her
place, and she was living in Normandy Towers, and I couldn't believe what
I was looking at. Beautiful smells, the boorgan villa, vines everywhere,
there's lavender in the air. Then you lipt this trees. Oh, it
was like the smells was so different than New York City, and I couldn't
believe how small and quaint these places were. So she began to give me
the history of the place, and she told me she was living in the
bungalow that Rudolph Valentino used to live in. Valentino was known as a Latin
lover, like I said, and his exploits with both men and women were
known all around town. And she moved a piece of furniture to show me
these three old rusted bolts that were still sticking out of the floor. And
the story goes that Valentino had built a sex chair in that spot, and
he never bothered to remove the bolts when he left, so the bolts have
always stayed there, and no one fox with the bolts because it's history and
man it's a great story. Texts were to live there. So many people.
I gotta look it up, so many people. It was so close
to the studio that it was just easy to go to work and come back
home. Great. I mean the list of people who lived there, unbelieving,
Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Sior, Adolf Manjoux, Gertrude Astor,
Claudette Colbert Man. Forget about it. You gotta look on the website.
It's beautiful, really beautiful. Seven two one nine Hampton Amnue. They say
West Hollywood, it's not. It's Hollywood period. I don't know where West
comes from. But yeah, a little diversion there for a second, because
they just brings back some great memories of me living there with me my little
my little dog Chesiray, my little Yorkie. Next to me was a a
fully tattooed rocker named Johnny Hawaiian. He's online too. You can't miss this
guy. His whole face was tatted, his whole body's tatted, long before
people were doing that. Everything on his face just handsome. Kid looked like
Matt Damon, but all covered up with tats and a big heroin addict and
crazy stories with that guy. He was always getting sick and I'm me,
I'm so stupid. I go, Johnny, you're thrown up again. Yeah,
I had bad Chinese food. He was. He was going through withdrawals
and finally we need admitted to me. I said, well, you know,
how do we help How can I help you? He's like to get
needles. I think I have one. I said, no, don't,
don't do that. You don't know what that needle has been. Man,
I'll get some. Feel Let's go get in a call. I'll get some.
I felt bad for him, so we bought fresh needles, and then
he went, I said, I'll buy him for you, But I want
to see you shoot up? Why? I said, I just want to
see it. Maybe I'll play that in the movie one. I want to
see it in front of me. And I had watched him do it.
Booh scary, and he started to nod out. Oh, we're way off
topic here, but anyhow, so lavin the marriages Ruda Valentino was in one
of those, obviously, and the studio could not afford to have its biggest
stars sexuality called out. So the solution of the studio executives at the time
was to wed Valentino to the actress Gene Acker, and the marriage was a
match made in heaven because Valentino's costume designer, Natasha Rambova was also involved in
a lesbian relationship then as well, so the couple attempted to show their fans
that they were a straight couple by getting married right. And while the marriage
between Valentino when Natasha gained watch but attention, it ended as a big,
big failure, and then things took a really sour turn. On the wedding
night, actor obviously regretted her actions and locked she locked Valentino outside of the
hotel room and there they divorced not too long after that, but after his
first failed marriage, Valentino decides to give it one more shot. This time
he married Natasha Rambova nineteen twenty three. She was a costume designer, sometime
actress, really pretty, and this was a period when Valentino's career was starting
to really take off, and by nineteen twenty four he had more eyes on
him because the roles he'd started to take on was seen as less masculine,
and by the time his marriage to Rumbova ended a year later, many people
were already calling Valentino the pink powder puff. We can't even say it nowadays.
They obviously he got this name playing effeminate roles. So the marriage asked
an under two years before they split, and people who had suspicions about those
marriages being lavender were right. Another big one was Rock Hudson and Phyllis Gates,
another lavender marriage that fooled a huge portion of the public. Now it's
safe to say that Rock Hudson's sexuality was not a secret in Hollywood. Hudson
was a type of Hollywood star that always had women flocking around him. And
if you look, there's a great documentary on I think it's on HBO about
Rock Hudson's life. He lived with an actor for off, look at the
actor's name. You know, if you see the pictures that they ran in,
like Life magazine, all these big spreads or Rock Hutson, you see
a bunch of guys in a pool with the bathings to of the day was
tight tight, you know, little tight tight nut huggers for the guys.
No girls. There a bunch of guys in the pool frolicking, and then
the inside pictures show him. Was it Randolph Scott was the guy's name.
Yeah, Randolph Scott Rock and Randolph Rock and Randolph I liked that they met
at Paramount making a movie Hot Saturday. It was called, And of course
sparks flew on screening off. Now there's this scene. Really, there is
a scene, and Randolph Scott's very tall, and he dances with his fiance
Ruth, portrayed by Nancy Carroll. And there's Carry Grant, twenty eight years
old, and Carry Grant emerges from the rumble seat of his car as he
arrives at this dance, and Grant cuts in on Carol and Scott, and
the sexual tension between the two men is so hot that Nancy Carroll is all
but superfluous. It's on Netflix, Go watch Hot Saturday. But there's pictures
of Randolph Scott and Rock Hutson. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm so off. Basis, Randolph Scott and Carry Grant, What an
asshole? Not Rock Carry Grant and Randolph Scott wore together. Jesus Christ,
I get my gaze mixed up. But Rock Hudson had a ball and they
were you know, he had a lover who lived with him. But in
the beginning when when they were first was his Hollywood career was jumping to a
big, big start. He lived with a guy, and the magazines would
say, oh, they want to save on a rent. These two,
these two bachelors are saving on a rent through it the smart thing, you
know. It was like whatever they could do to write good stories about big
time Hollywood stars was I mean, publicists got paid good money back then to
make sure these guys stayed in the closet with the door shut and locked firmly
behind them. And as a kid growing up, I mean not a kid,
but like twelve, thirteen, fourteen, he's not looking at these pictures
going no, this ain't right. These guys just aren't there to save money.
These guys having a ball, These guys are in love. There's pictures
of them in the steam room, a bunch of guys. I look,
look, I don't whatever makes them happy, it's fine. I feel bad
they have to hide this. I really feel bad that they have to make
believe this straight in order to save their career. Now you've got I mean,
look at what we're on now, Look at what Hollywood allows. Now
I shouldn't even say allows, but the fact that Hollywood has, you know,
full gay on display constantly every TV show, every commercial, every cartoon.
It's okay to be gay on TV and movies. It's fine. I
had no problem with it. Now we introduce trends and Polly and all these
other crazy situations and guys like Rock Hudson and Valentine and all these big time
starts have to hide this. And you wonder how much damage that caused them
up in their head that they couldn't really live the lives they wanted to live.
And yet nowadays you've got schmucks writing cartoons, putting gay characters in SpongeBob.
It just they're everywhere. I'm not saying I'm mad at that, but
I just it's for the old time guys who have to just hide everything,
you know. But eventually, you know, people found out, or at
least they had a good hunch about it. And Rock Hutson's problems began when
a group of reporters from Confidential magazine they threatened him. They threatened to publish
a piece exposing his hidden set escapades so to salvage his career. Rock Hutson's
agent quickly said, you don't, I'm your press secretary Mary Mary Phillis Skates,
Mary Phillis, that was just press secretary. And to think that a
studio would have more financial leverage and say in an actor's future is unbelievable.
But they did. And rather than lose money at the box office or have
the whole country find that he's gay, they ordered him to marry his secretary.
So Rocket and Phillis were rocking around. They even included moral clauses that
prevented these actors and actresses from being involved in any scandals that would alienate the
public. Now, Phyllis Gates was always saying, the marriage is real,
The marriage is real, thought Lavender, Okay, a lot of public members
had a different belief. Hutton also never publicly admitted to being gay. He
didn't have to, unfortunately, because when he started on Dynasty Back of the
Day, looking very gaunt and sick, many people picked up on the fact
that, oh god, he looks he's got that HIV AIDS look. And
you know then that it became the biggest story in the world for a time.
And it was sad that kissing scene when he has to kiss Lynda Evans
on the lips and Lynne Evans had no idea. People on the set had
no idea Rock knew, and he was afraid, he didn't I know of
just kissing her would spread to the disease. So he kept his mouth shut.
And Linda Evans later said, he was so you know, so sincere
and safe, and he kept his mouth closed. That's not the way Rock
Hudson kisses, but he did it to make sure she didn't get sick.
Obviously she didn't. We know much more than we knew back in the eighties,
but very very sad. But because of the nature of laved and marriages,
many secrets were kept and it was difficult for anyone to have any concrete
details except they were connecting the dots. Again, it's a pity when guys
like Rock Hudson had to exist during a period where their sexuality was socially unacceptable,
and you have so many of these gays in Hollywood just having a ball.
But his story would have been very different today, His career would have
been very, very different today if he could, if he was able to
come out, literally come out and say he's gay. And again, I'll
mention Carry Grant again. The reevaluation of Carrie Grant's Labada. Marriages actually occurred
in an event and it was out of his control. But just the mirror
existence of the story calls into question carry grants sexuality and the fact that he
would publicly kind of say he was into polygamy. Grant was implicated in the
memoir of Scottie Bower's Full Service. He wrote a book called Full Service,
My Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Lives of the Stars. I did
a whole show on him on Patreon about two and a half years ago.
I want to say, it's a great memoir. It's really juicy. And
the guy used to work at a gasoline station and all the stars were gonna
get guessed there, and that's how he began to link people up. He
was a good reader of people's sexual energy, and he could tell a gay
man from a straight man. And he hooked up girl lesbians together, gazed
together, and he had a lot of fun too. But this memoir read
it, it has a lot of explicit details about straight and gay It's really
interesting and in the book he indicates that he either arranged or took part in
these sex capades. In one of its pages, the memoir describes a hidden
sexual relationship between Carry Grant and Randall Scott. So I just got ahead of
myself, that's all. But that discovery began a spiral of issues for Carrie
Grant's family. Back in twenty twelve, Carrie Grant's daughter, Jennifer Grant,
she refuted the statement in Bower's memoir. She says that my father was very
straight. There've also been questions about the authenticity of Bower's stories. Some say
he made a lot of shit up. I don't know. I don't know.
He writes about a lot of people who are dead who can't speak up
for themselves. My father and mother always told me Carry Grant was gay,
and so father bat in a thousand and By the way, my father told
me that, and Griffith and Donnachris to go around town and having sex parties.
I forgot about that and I looked it up. He's right. I'll
do that tomorrow on Patreon. Andy Griffith at Don Nuts banging around Hollywood.
Yep, Heartbreakers, dream Makers. You may not have ever heard of William
Haynes and Jimmy Shields, but this story is not like the others. William
Haynes was one of those gay actors that decided to live with the risk of
the public knowing what his preference was. And Haines was a popular actor in
the thirties and he just refused to hide his sexuality. He even had a
very public relationship with his partner. So between the twenties and the thirties,
Haynes had an agreement with MGM, but he was also living with some former
sailor Jimmy Shields, and despite the public having acknowledged that Haynes and Shields were
romantically involved, it didn't affect his popularity until much later. And at that
point MGM issued Haynes and until made him either you perform in a straight marriage
or you forfeit the contract you have with us at MGM, and those frigs
made him choose between his career and his partner. And the interesting thing is
that Haynes stuck by his gay partner and later on he eventually left Hollywood and
began interior design business. And today he's renowned as one of the first gay
stars to come out of the come out of the closet, and come out
to the public. And I bet you never heard of him. The next
pair are pretty well known by the way I'm doing Old Hollywood for a bit
about three days last week on Patron, I did a bunch of stories on
old Hollywood that people tended to really like. And I like going back into
that pool, dipping my toe back in that in that water. It's fun.
Barbara Stanwick and Robert Taylor big stars. Stanwick and Taylor big time actors
during their time, but their private life was a big problem for major studios.
They had this inability to sleep with the opposite accepts and that was unacceptable
to the public. At the time, Barbara Stanwick was under contract with Warner
Brothers and Columbia. She also worked for MGM as well, and when it
became clear that the gay escapades of Stanwick and Taylor could no longer be contained,
MGM called both stars for a meeting. You get your crazy queer assis
in his office tomorrow at ten am. Now they didn't say that, but
they might have. But conclusion to the meeting basically was, you're gonna get
married. That's what we're gonna do. You're gonna get married. It was
the last ditch effort to save the careers and reputations of both of them.
So Stanwick and Taylor got married in May of nineteen thirty nine, and after
the wedding ceremony, Taylor refused to kiss Stanwick and went home to spend the
night at his mother's place. Oh Jesus Christ, the next one I love?
You know, I find it weird because a lot of gay men are
still attracted to beautiful women, you know, like gay men are different that
way. I don't know, Like like one time, an next girl friend
of mine who was always around photographers and stylists who were gay, and they
would like poll you know, pull her, pull her on their laps and
just having fun back in the nineties and so and all these gay men would
have would be hard. It's something strange, right, I wouldn't work like
that was me, But for the gay men it did. They love beauty.
I don't know the next one I love. My father never liked the
actor Danny Kay, and I asked why one day and he told me.
He asked, like he loves women, but he doesn't aj he likes men.
I think it was also because, if I remember correctly, somehow Danny
Kay got out of serving in World War Two, and that really pissed off
my father. He said, it's fine. We did fine without him.
Fuck him, but Danny kay and Sylvia fine. Many people may remember Danny
kay was a very big entertainment, very popular entertainer. Does nothing for me,
but people loved him. He was never macho, manly of the strong
type, and as a result of his lack of masculinity, Danny Kaye was
often chosen to act in weak, effeminate roles. He had more talent than
that, but he was banging guys since his vaudeville days, and despite reports
of his sexuality, he still married someone of the opposite sex. He got
married to Sylvia Fune, who was a piano player. They spent a reasonable
amount of time together and the union produced a baby girl named Dina. But
the public was The public was more or less in on Danny Kay's act,
and many people believed that their marriage was nothing more than a force. And
they were right, it was a force. But still he went the extra
mile and had a kid. The other guy couldn't even have one night in
bed after the wedding. Unbelievable. This is gay, then his gay?
This one. I love Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. I've always I didn't
want to believe Spencer Tracy was gay, not because there's anything wrong with that,
It just he looked so butch and you know, tough. Spencer Tracy
was the man go look at Twelve Angry Men to mention one of his great
movies. But the union between Kate and Spencer Tracy one of the It's one
of the instances when the lavender marriage could be hidden from the public. So
in this memoir, Scottie Barrow's memoir, Hepburn and Tracy never had a typical
marriage. They never officially married, but they had an admirable bond that lasted
up to four decades. And this type bond was enough to dispel any negative
rumors that had built up about their sexuality. You know, both stars could
be seen in the company of each other, and they had sexual preferences that
couldn't be expressed openly. I grew up always thinking they were in love.
I mean, they loved each other, but they just weren't. Then they
weren't having sex. Maybe they did a couple of times, but that's not
what they wanted. He wanted men, she wanted girls. I mean,
look, she's wearing she's wearing pants playing golf. I know it's not a
big tale, but for me, it's a tell. And there were reliable
reports that Hepburn had a woman on his side, and Spencer would also liked
it. Once in a while, I get a blowjob with men when he
was drunk. What what do you mean when I was no, I was
drunk, you didn't blow me? I love that excuse. Bower's book really
paints Katherine Hepburn as a lesbian and Spencer Tracy is bisentraal. The memoir also
says that he fixed Katherine Hepburn up with more than one hundred and fifty different
women in about forty years. He also had an affair with himself. The
next one is a shocker to me, shocker to many people because it includes
the stud Tyrone Power, and he was absolutely labator. But what was truly
unique about Tyrone Power was the nature of his lavender marriage. This guy was
considered to be bisexual or gay by many tabloids, and there were numerous errors
about his affairs with other top Hollywood actors. But Power was not forced into
a marriage of convenience to save his reputation. Instead, he chose to marry
Annabella, a French actress, just named Annabella. He chose to marry it
out of his free will, and everything seemed to be going fine until,
you know, until Tyrone couldn't keep it in his pants. And then there
are these reports of unending affairs with several men and women. He was just
going, just going crazy out there, and the marriage to Annabella finally ended
after one of his extra mattal affairs with Judy Garland of all people, resulted
in an unwanted pregnancy. Annabella found out and she flew the coop. I
don't want to even think about what abortions were light back in those days.
I can only imagine. I've heard, I've heard what they did at times,
and it's horrifying to think that code hangers. I just can't even imagine.
Oh my god, didn't there are Hollywood stuff. Didn't. Didn't Woopy
Goldberg used a hanger? I think she did. I think when Whoopy was
really down and out, you know, like welfare kind of shit. I
think I think I remember her being pregnant and her saying in a book or
something that she used the wire hanger to abort the child. Oh god,
damn, I mean, that's got to change your whole perspective on life.
An Yeah, Drudy Garland is one of the many men when many women to
get married to a gay Hollywood actor Vincent Minnelli. Vincent Minnelli was a gay
man long before are hitting it big in Hollywood, but after he rose to
the limelight, his life gained more scrutiny from reporters and members of the public,
and these restraints on morality ensued. I'm sure it actually that that Minnelli's
career was going to struggle. That I get a ship together, can't be
seen romping around with men. And years later it was clear that Judy Garland
was completely aware of who her husband was, and she would later advise her
daughter to marry gay men because they were the best husbands. She believed that
they shared a connection like never before. Judy Garland was never shy of being
around a gay man and would later get into extra mountal affairs like I told
you earlier with Tyrone power. But from Judy Garland we go to her daughter,
who had not one, but two lavender marriages, Liza Minnelli, Liza
Nelly and Peter Allen. Great story wasn't exactly a Hollywood marriage, but it
falls into the same category as other high profile unions that were born at a
convenience. Look, she just followed in mom's footsteps when she married gay Australian
singer and dancer Peter Allen, and throughout the marriage many people believed that Allen
was engaged in an affair with Mark Herron all he was they were together.
I used to see Mark at at Peter Allen shows me and my family,
As I told my patron, audience became very friendly with Peter Allen. My
sister Lorraine loved, my father loved his music. He turned my sister Lorraine
onto it, she turned me onto it. And back in the eighties,
every time Peter Allen played at Carnegie Whole Radio, City Music Fair, you
name it, Westberry Music, we went. We saw Peter Allen like five
or six times. And since he's Australian, my sister would always get a
little kangaroo, a stuffed cap claulabear or a kangaroo something that was from Australia.
And as customary when Peter Allen performs, the last song he performs is
blaming you know Rio, not blame it. I just saw blaming on Rio
on TV. No No that's an old movie with Joe Bolognan, Michael Caine.
Really fun movie. Dem Me more Young, dem Me more No.
The Big the Big Sendolf saw was called Rio. When my baby smiles to
me, I'd go to Rio. P Jennarrow, it's a great song.
In the house comes down, all the women run up and throw flowers and
koala bears and whatever. And he he took the stuff Adamo from my sister
Larrain one night and he put it on the piano while he sang, and
she was she couldn't believe we were was screaming, we were nuts. And
we'd always go backstage and hang out with him. And I saw Mark here
and there a number of times that was his man. But it wasn't until
the marriage was dissolved between Eliza and Peter Allen that that he explained his truth
as a gay actor. I mean, Minelli also married another gay man,
David Guest. I mean, you know, I have heard people say Jewish
men make the best husbands, but I've never heard someone said gay men make
the best husbands. I don't know. Look, I could see this sort
of thing happening once, I really, you know, I really can't,
but I guess if my career and my livelihood were on the line, maybe
I'd have to do the same thing. But to do it twice, I
don't know. Not too many years ago, when me and my screen running
part of Neil Gumpel were just not able to sell a script. We weren't
getting a pitch meeting, we weren't selling the script in the room. It's
really frustrating. It was during that era of people are selling scripts during the
pitch meetings and getting three four hundred thousand dollars at least on the spot.
So we were really hungry for that kind of deal, and at this point
were so depressed and pissed off. We said, you know what, why
don't we get married, like let's we were both married to women, of
course, but we said, let's just get married. Let's go, let's
go to Beverly Hills Courthouse and get married. We'll hold hands walked down Santa
Monica Boulevard. While hanging around Boystown. People will spot us. They'll say,
I never know A j was gay holding hands with his boyfriend. Big
scandal. But apparently Neil's wife got jealous. So we never did it.
My life was old for it, so don't don't do it. Do it,
get some work, get some money in the house. That would have
been great, a lot of fun back then. But no, we couldn't
hold hands on Santa Monica Boulevard. But I guess with these people, with
the big money they had, the big careers they were building, you know,
I guess you have to do what you have to do. But it
just seems weird to me. But I wanted to end this on Lisa and
Peter Allen because this whole laven and marriage thing began with the sad news the
other day that Debra Lye Furness and Hugh Jackman were ending their marriage of convenience.
Now, neither of them have ever admitted to Jackman being gay, but
I feel otherwise. I can't say no for sure. I really have a
strong feeling otherwise, and so that many people. And I think this ties
everything into a nice little bow because the moment that cemented you Jackman being gay
in my mind was watching him play Peter Allen and the great Greatest Showman.
See how nice and tight we tied that bow today. So listen, my
free friends, my freebirds. He missed a lot this past month. He
missed a huge health update for me. You missed the inside stories why Ashton
Kutran Mila Kunis immediately regretted sending out their letter of support for their gingerhead rapist
friend Danny Matterson. You missed what secret private clubs Jimmy Fallon likes to go
to and get good and loaded while he was apologizing for creating a toxic work
environment. You missed Town nine to eleven changed my life and what I did
in the immediate aftermath of that horrifying day. You missed some people talking that
Jamie Fox may have been cloned. I don't believe that at all, but
I do question why didn't we see the warrior tattoo across the back of his
head when he was in a McDonald's recently talking to a fan who was filming
the conversation. Interesting. You miss Howard Stern's private side while I was a
regular on his show, and my family's surprising fondness and friendship with the late
Great Peter Ellen. And I went some old school, Like I said,
I went old school. On the mysterious death and the scandalous lives of hard
Luck actresses Susan Cabott and Lynn Baggett, as well as the scary times of
actress Mayo Method Male Method. It's a weird name. It's mthot, but
it's pronounced method and the crazy passion that she and Humphrey Bogart shared. Old
crazy actresses, some of them very beautiful, very talented, all falling victims
to drugs and alcohol and PTSD and rape and murder. You got a check
it out. I'll be doing some more on Patreon. It reminds me of
my day shooting the Misters and Scandal series for e How did in the seventy
two episodes five years? A lot of memories and sometimes you guys put up
a face on the podcast of Tess Page and it brings back a lot of
memories of that shoot, what it was like, and it gets me back
into that mode. So don't be Bashville. Come on over. This last
month I got letters from well, I got direct messengers, emails, letters,
at least fifteen new patrons of all said I'm so glad I came to
