WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:06.480
Fame. He'd liked to be walked
on a leash and play really dirty,

2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:11.199
kinky sex games. Is uh the
guy put the cock in the Peacock network.

3
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.880
Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody, aj Ben's are here with fame

4
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.199
as a bitch. This is your
free show for December seventh, twenty twenty

5
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:23.199
three, December seventh, December seventh. Why does that sound? Oh?

6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:30.160
Yes, the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Wow, the Pearl Harbor sneak attack

7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.560
by the Japs. We're all out
today, sneak attack. In fact,

8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.719
that's how the term you japed me
came about. It just became a phrase

9
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.799
for people who did something when you
weren't ready for it. You jacked me.

10
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.600
I get a kick out of watching
all movies and TV shows where they

11
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:51.240
use the word japs so often,
nips japs. It just it was teev

12
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.960
was so much better in the seventies. They saw an episode of Actually I

13
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.320
saw the first of the movie The
Twilight Zone that was out I don't know

14
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.439
how many years ago, but there's
this one scene where the guy's bitching and

15
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.079
moaning about somebody getting his job or
getting his money, and he's like,

16
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.719
why give it to the Jew Jews
are born rich. And then the next

17
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.760
sentence he's like, I don't want
to move to a neighborhood where there's spearchuckers

18
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.640
next door to me. I couldn't
believe what I was hearing. It's like,

19
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.959
you can't turn it off because you
can't believe what people got away with

20
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.400
back then and how we're so.
I mean, look, it wasn't nice

21
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.799
to say those things. Obviously can't
have that. So we've definitely matured as

22
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.280
people, as producers, as people
who put up content. But it was

23
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:37.200
a much more fun world. It
really was, because back then those people

24
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.599
who wrote those shows and those movies
were actually saying things that people were saying.

25
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.040
It was a reflection of our society. Now we're so politically correct,

26
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:52.480
we don't know what to say that
might might not rankle someone's feathers. But

27
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:56.799
yeah, the seven seven, nineteen
four, eighty eighty two years ago,

28
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.200
eighty two years ago today, and
there's now one person in who's learning about

29
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.959
this. There's not one teacher who's
gonna develop more than two minutes if anything

30
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.719
to this date in history in schools
across the country, Mark my words,

31
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.840
if they do, it will be
a classroom with a Pride flag hanging from

32
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:19.680
the chalk board, and all sorts
of trans gay bullshit adorning the room because

33
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.000
the old classroom. Do yourself a
favorite. You might feel weird doing this.

34
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.319
If you live near an elementary school, Take a walk around the school,

35
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.400
take a walk, run the back, and peer into the windows of

36
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.560
that elementary school and take a look
at what's on the bulletin board. Take

37
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.639
a look at what colors you see
flying or adorning the whiteboard or the chalk

38
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:45.719
board or the walls. Just look. It's just one big indoctrination of our

39
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:50.639
kids, that's what it is.
And it's working. It's working in a

40
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.840
lot of ways, and that's It's
a sad day. But yeah, December

41
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.919
seventh, nineteen forty one not being
taught in today's schools, I promise,

42
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.039
And that pisses me off. Either
way. This is your free show.

43
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.520
I do want to thank some of
you who've come over to the Patreon side

44
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:13.639
of things, and All Learning is
much more to that show than this show.

45
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.879
I still give this show my awe, but as you know, I

46
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:21.199
saved some of the more delicious stories, the exclusives, the breaking stories over

47
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:25.319
at the Patreon show that's patreon dot
com slash fames. Bitch about fifty of

48
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.560
you have come over. I want
fifty more before the month is up.

49
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.879
I'll do my part, you do
yours, and you won't ever hear those

50
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:40.120
birds tripping again. It was a
fun bit while it lasted. I just

51
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.840
watched a commercial I keep the show
that the TV on Fox News. I

52
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:46.919
just do. That's who I am, and I don't give a shit what

53
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.000
anybody thinks. I'm a Fox News
guy. When I walk into a hotel

54
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.319
and they have Fox on the TVs
at the restaurants, I feel better.

55
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.280
I feel like I'm with my people. The hotel here has Fox on.

56
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.400
It's the automatic channel that the TV
turns onto, which I dig. Other

57
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.719
hotels have your TV turning on automatically
CNN, which now I don't agree with

58
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.840
that. But I saw this commercial
which I've seen a million times, and

59
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.639
I actually hate the commercial, but
I don't hate the man. And that's

60
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.480
Mike Lindell, the My Pillow Guy. I know the Left has done everything

61
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:25.319
they could to bankrupt and destroy Mike
Lindell's My Pillow business, all because he

62
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:30.879
committed the grave sin of supporting his
president. The guy has paid millions in

63
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.079
attorney's fees defending himself against Joe Biden's, Joe Biden's Department of Justice, Joe

64
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.920
Biden's FBI, and they've wreaked havoc
on his life like they've done to everyone

65
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.120
who dared to support President Trump by
creating bogus charges against them, forcing them

66
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.959
to play, to pay exorbitant legal
fees which most of us couldn't even get

67
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:59.199
near, and then destroying their lives
and reputations. And every time I see

68
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:05.879
or rewet from Biden and now DeSantis
supporters cheering about how people's lives are being

69
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:12.079
ruined all because they supported Donald Trump, it makes me sick that in this

70
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.120
day and age in America, we
can't do that. We can't support a

71
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.199
president without getting into an argument a
fight, without losing our reputations or at

72
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:24.120
least having them tarnished. Never mind
that Mike Lindell was a hardcore crack added

73
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.920
who not only cleaned up his life, but he conquered his addictions, and

74
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.519
then he happened to create the My
Pillow Empire. You know you can get

75
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:38.720
you can get slippers there too.
Oh yeah, slippers too. Mike's got

76
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.160
a whole big business going, as
you know. But during the pandemic,

77
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:48.399
he unfortunately had to shut down his
factories. And something he did that's really

78
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:55.120
neat. He made first responders safety
equipment. While his factories were shut down.

79
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.959
He made the mesk surgial gowns and
things of that nature, and he

80
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.560
donated them to areous hospitals. It
only cost them seven million dollars in losses.

81
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.680
On top of that, he opened
treatment centers to help people suffering from

82
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:15.399
the disease of addictions. But this
is the man that the evil left hates.

83
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:21.800
This is the man that they're cheering
for the demise of, hoping his

84
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:27.079
business goes flat, a business he
built from the ground up when he himself

85
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.480
was faced down on the ground and
looking up and seeing the top of the

86
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:36.800
curb. This is the hate that's
enveloping America ever since Donald Trump came down

87
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:42.240
that escalator and gave up his life
of luxury to help the forgotten people of

88
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.000
America. Yeah, I'm on myself
box, what of it? And now

89
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:54.639
you've got the installation of a lifelong
failure. Joe Biden marked the fundamental transformation

90
00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:00.079
of America, no joke. He
was going to transform America fundamentally. Yeah,

91
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.920
Okay, look at the state this
country's in right now. We're surrounded

92
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:10.720
by demonic forces who have taken hold
of our government. That's the only way

93
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.959
you can look at things and think, well, it must be demons.

94
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:17.160
It has to be demons. And
if you do that, and if you

95
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:21.480
take a hardcore look, you have
to come away saying Donald Trump is the

96
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:27.199
only person who can save and restore
the country that we grew up in.

97
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:32.600
If you ask me, Mike Lindell
maybe the greatest American patriot since Donald Trump,

98
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:38.800
and we need about a thousand more
of him in big conservative money.

99
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.160
Why are so many of these big
rich conservative guys quiet. I'll tell you

100
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:50.160
why they don't have the balls that
Mike Lindell has. Period. That's all

101
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.920
I'll say about that subject. But
it was plenty. It was almost seven

102
00:07:53.959 --> 00:08:00.720
minutes worth of long and out from
my chest. You got South America coming

103
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:05.519
up, you got people from Africa
coming here, Liberia's Sudan. It's insane.

104
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.160
But the newest thing, the thing
that shucked the shit out of me.

105
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.399
And I'll get into this more on
politics a bitch in a few days.

106
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.240
Did you see the line of Chinese, Chinese men of fighting age,

107
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:22.519
all lined up standing in San Diego. They got through standing as if they

108
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.720
were in their at ease positions.
Okay, these are military men, and

109
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.519
all of them had perfect, wonderful, spotless backpacks, the same black backpack.

110
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.600
Who's supplying them with these things?
They escaped China and they want to

111
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.840
come to what's going on that We
just don't ship them right back there?

112
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.399
Why would we want them in this
country after China has brought up so much

113
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.559
of our property and our acreage and
our farm lands. We can't have this.

114
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.000
And that's that's something on every president. How do you let the Chinese

115
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.360
come into America and just buy big
swaths of land? Unbelievable, really really

116
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.960
disgusting happening to this country. Oh, let's bring it down to gossip.

117
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:09.759
Let's talk about some celebrities. I
keep seeing this thing on well, I

118
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.200
saw it twice on Instagram. Really
bothers me. Sebastian Maniscalco, who I

119
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:20.039
love. I love his stand up, His stand up is fantastic. But

120
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.639
he does this bit. He's done
more than one bit, this particular bit

121
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.720
on Instagram. He's buying a Christmas
tree. It's a big Christmas tree farm,

122
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:35.039
and he's complaining about the price of
Christmas trees. You know, he's

123
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.600
acting like his wife is driving him
crazy and everything he has to buy for

124
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.600
his mansion is so expensive. Does
he really think any of his listeners have

125
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.519
as much money as he does.
We know that Christmas tree he lives in

126
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.919
Beverly Hills. We know that seven
or eight foot Christmas tree is running in

127
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.480
three fifty four hundred. We know
that most of us spend one hundred bucks

128
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.360
for our tree. We know you're
going quadruple that, but no one cares.

129
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:01.559
And stop acting like you get it. Man. It's really tough out

130
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.879
there. You really understand the plight
wherein no, you don't you worth thirty

131
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:13.200
fucking million dollars and not for nothing. Sebastian Mascalco works hard and he will

132
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.720
perform show after the show on the
same stage if the demand is there,

133
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:24.679
and that's what allows him to negotiate
deals with different venues for a higher than

134
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:31.679
average cut of the box office revenue. He has some deal. He grosses

135
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.200
about two hundred and forty thousand dollars
for each stop on his concerts on a

136
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:41.240
stand up tour, It's all about
four thousand tickets for each show. Okay.

137
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.000
Meanwhile, that Instagram he's got walking
about a Christmas tree farm, making

138
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.320
faces at the camera because I can't
believe what trees courts? Have you seen

139
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.679
the price of Christmas trees? What
am I doing over here? What's going

140
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:58.120
on over here? Who hell cares
about your wallet? Well, the next

141
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.840
night you're gonna stage and make a
quarter million dollars for two hours work.

142
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.679
Nobody cares. You know. It's
amazing how people come up and we raised

143
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.200
them up and we we we consider
them the next great thing, and then

144
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.679
we start to take them down.
It's the oldest formula in Hollywood. Put

145
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.320
them up, bring them down,
then resurrect them. If you can stand

146
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:24.279
that cycle, you're gonna be Okay. His new series called Bookie, which

147
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.840
is on HBO Max, which,
if you're cool, you just call the

148
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.720
Max. It's on the Max,
all right, on the Max. It's

149
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.879
getting shit right ups. And I
saw a clip of two or three,

150
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.440
and I don't blame these writers for
giving a shit right up. I watched

151
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.159
one scene. You know, these
jokes are just so canned. I watched

152
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:50.120
one scene where he's in a lift
and the lift drivers played by Jorgey Garcia,

153
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.679
imber that guy from Lost. H
well, actually hold that thought,

154
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.799
Joy Garcia, there was a day
when he was cast in the TV show

155
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.600
Lost, where I have to admit
I don't remember a morbidly obese person getting

156
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.799
a role in such a huge TV
show. I don't. I mean,

157
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.080
now you see it all the time. You see fat people everywhere. Lizzo

158
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.720
employs a whole crew of backup blackup
dancers. That's funny, blackup dancers.

159
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:22.080
Her whole crew of backup dancers who
have cholesterol levels like phone numbers. I

160
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.879
mean, they're out there performing.
Lizzo, as we all know, is

161
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.600
not bashful of her obesity, although
I have heard, and I can even

162
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:37.759
see a teeny weeny bit that she's
finally shedding some pounds. And that's gotta

163
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.639
be tough on her because she has
a whole lot of fans who are gonna

164
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:46.519
be upset with her for no longer
embracing her fatness. Yeah, fat fans

165
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.080
are weird like that, like Adele
fans. Adele fans hate that she's thinner

166
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.759
and looks ravishing lately. They wanted
to be as miserable as they are.

167
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.360
They don't want it to be thin
and married and happily married. No,

168
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.919
stay fat and alone and cry more
on your albums. That's what makes fat

169
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.120
people happy. Fat adel fans,
not fat people on a whole, because

170
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:11.080
I'm fat and I can care less
about adill. But Lizzo still has a

171
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.120
long way to go before we can
pretend to think she's in shape. But

172
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:20.759
she did tweet the other day after
it was reported that Billie Eilish was gay.

173
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:26.399
Lizzo did tweet that she would gladly
sit on Billy's face, And I

174
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.440
got nervous because, first of all, that would give new meaning to the

175
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:33.799
term having a crush on someone.
And second, if Lizzo did sit on

176
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.320
Billy Eilish's face, he'd kill the
poor girl. And we don't want to

177
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.720
do that. Billy's not even in
the twenty seven year old club yet.

178
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.519
But you know, I just realized. I just realized that Oprah, Oprah

179
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.440
Winfrey doesn't have fans who get mad
at her for always trying to lose weight.

180
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.639
I don't even see articles printed in
that vein that fans are pushing away

181
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:03.600
from Oprah for getting thinner and getting
in better shape. I see countless other

182
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:09.240
newspapers and websites and platforms giving a
whole lot of airtime to fans of Adele

183
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:16.240
or Melissa McCarthy who are pissed that
they're getting thinner. You know why that

184
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.039
is, in my opinion, is
because Oprah is black. That's it.

185
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.200
And right now, you just can't
be a part of any story or tweet

186
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.240
or anything that is critical of black
people. You can't, for instance,

187
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.480
you can't say that all these black
women in Congress and in politics in general

188
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.960
all sound ghetto as hell, and
they act like they're in the hood.

189
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.360
When they get their time to speak, they do that clap and shit,

190
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.960
don't you tell me you're not.
They act like they're on this stoop in

191
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.120
the bronx. But we can't be
critical of that bullshit. I get critical,

192
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.360
and I'm just saying what a lot
of us are thinking. Anyhow,

193
00:14:54.039 --> 00:15:00.080
there was a tangent back to Jorge
Garcia and the Medascalcos series Bookie. So

194
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:05.159
Jorge Garcia plays a pot dealer who's
out of business when there's the state legalized

195
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:11.600
weed, and he's kind of sympathizing
with Meniscalco because now gambling is legal and

196
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.919
that hurts bookies around the country.
So they both have that in common,

197
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:22.600
and Jorge Garcia says, the only
amount of time before California legalizes sports betting.

198
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:28.399
He says to Maniscalco's character Danny,
and he shoots back, Navvy,

199
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:33.200
Indian casinos will never allow it and
says, oh yeah, the government never

200
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:39.360
fucks over Indians. Okay, bed
riding bad jokes, and they're a lot

201
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.440
like this one in the series.
Personally, I don't know a world where

202
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:48.919
a bookie is careful not to say
the wrong thing about trans people like I

203
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.720
saw on another preview. Give me
a break, please, I mean,

204
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.919
has Chuck Laurie, the creator of
this show, ever had a bookie?

205
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:02.279
Has Maniscalco ever placed the bet through
a bookie, because if he did,

206
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.519
he'd be talking to the producers saying, yeah, this isn't the way this

207
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:08.360
guy would be talking. Okay,
we've got to change this part. This

208
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:15.759
park doesn't ring true. But he
won't, and this show as a result

209
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:21.000
will be another piece of shit with
a laugh track and too much politically correct

210
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:25.279
humor. And that's really something that's
not what Chuck Laurie's about. I mean,

211
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:32.440
two and a half men shouldn't have
taken more chances or been racier than

212
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:37.120
Bookie all these years later. Speaking
of TV shows, My god, I

213
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:42.240
saw a clip of All the Family
yesterday, and it's apropos that I'm talking

214
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.159
about it today because it was announced
today that Norman Lee just passed away at

215
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:52.399
one hundred and one years old.
How about that? And we can see

216
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:57.360
her all day and talk about exactly
how many episodes of All the Family were

217
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:04.400
just brilliantly written and back then normally
introduced all sorts of topics feminism, race,

218
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.279
race, race stuff. I mean
nothing, nothing. All in the

219
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:15.039
Family did Jefferson's good times, Maude. He just kept creating brilliant shows that

220
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.960
really went at the throats of all
these big topics when we were younger,

221
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.880
topics we can't even touch today.
But this is one scene. It got

222
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.839
me, He got me, said, it got me a little teary.

223
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.200
What else is new? But Mike
Stivick, his son in law Meathead,

224
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.319
they're having a talk and he says
to Archie, do you ever think that

225
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:38.000
possibly your father just might be wrong? And Archie says, my own man,

226
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:41.960
don't be stupid, my own man. Let me tell you he was

227
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.599
never wrong about nothing. Mike says, yay, he was. Arch My

228
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.079
old man used to call people the
same things as your old man. But

229
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.920
I knew he was wrong. So
is your old man. He's wrong.

230
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.680
And Archie then gets real quiet,
and he said, I'm not gonna imitate

231
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.400
him. But he says, don't
tell me my father was wrong. Let

232
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.720
me tell you something. A father
who made you is wrong. A father

233
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.319
the breadwinner of the house. There
the man who goes out and busts his

234
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.880
ass to keep a roof over your
head and close on your back. You

235
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.319
call him wrong. Father. That's
the man that comes home brings your candy.

236
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.160
Father is the first guy to throw
a baseball to you and take you

237
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.400
for walks in the park, holding
you by the hand. My father help

238
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.000
me by the hand. Hey,
my father had a hand on him,

239
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.359
though I'll tell you he busted that
hand once and he busted the other one

240
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.079
arm me to teach me to do
good. My father's shoved me in a

241
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.079
closet for seven hours to teach me
to do good because he loved me.

242
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.200
I don't be looking at me.
Let me tell you something. You're supposed

243
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.559
to love your father because your father
loves you. How can any man who

244
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:53.880
loves you tell you anything that's wrong. It's a killer killer scene because it's

245
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:59.279
only then after the show, but
on for years that we discover along with

246
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:03.799
Meathead, Archie was abused as a
kid, and child abuse was not a

247
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:10.640
topic shows touched. But how brilliant
was that, How brilliantly that was brought

248
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:15.920
up. Amazing. I'm jumping around
at different topics. This happens sometimes when

249
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.440
I do the Pagtreon show. I
jumped from topic to topic. We just

250
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.880
talked about Christmas trees. Brings up
a story I wanted to tell you many

251
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.720
years ago in the eighties, when
I was at my first wife, her

252
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:32.680
family, great people, Frank and
Joe, husband and wife, and my

253
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:37.240
sign, my brother in law Carmaron. We all wanted to go upstate New

254
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.640
York to take back our own Christmas
tree. There was this farm upstate New

255
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.079
York. You go there with an
axe, not a chainsaw. You go

256
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.799
there with an axe and you chop
down the tree you like. Then you

257
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.119
pay for it and go home.
So it took like a three hour drive

258
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.480
up state. I think it was
bed for the Millbrook, some far flung

259
00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.359
town up there, and we were
looking for like three hours for the perfect

260
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.119
tree. And there's tons of them
there. I'm getting tired, I'm getting

261
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.480
hungry. Plus I'm the guy holding
the axe, you know, and the

262
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:15.400
hack soil. Mostly so it happened
upon this gorgeous tree almost eight foot tall.

263
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.200
They had a diet living room with
a big high ceiling where the tree

264
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.079
went. You can go twelve thirteen, fourteen feet if you want it,

265
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.960
but that was too expensive. But
this one's like eight foot beautiful tree and

266
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.480
it had a white tag on it, and the name on the tag said

267
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.960
Wilkerson. I said, what the
hell is this? And my father says,

268
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.559
oh, that means that another family
came here, saw that tree a

269
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.319
month ago or so and claimed it
as their own, and they left their

270
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:47.880
name on this tag to let us
know that it's dead tree. I says,

271
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.960
who's just this dead tree. They're
gonna remember what they They're gonna remember

272
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.680
where they went, they're gonna know
the exact aisle of the No, we're

273
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:57.720
taking this tree. And now my
father's laughing, but they mortified. My

274
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:03.119
mother in law was mortified. I
got chopping down real quick before they changed

275
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:04.200
their mind, because they were like
acting like, okay, if you want

276
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.440
to do it, do it,
but they didn't want to look Manya and

277
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.880
my fall in law and brother in
law were cops. But just back in

278
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:12.279
the eighties there was no cameras anyway, you can do whatever you want.

279
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.240
So I chopped this tree down,
and I took the wilkness and name off

280
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.640
and threw it in the ground,
and we had a great tree for Christmas.

281
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.960
Could you imagine people thinking they can
claim a tree and come back two

282
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.440
months later and still be there.
It will world anyhow, now guys like

283
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.799
me running around. We had a
lot of good Christmases in New York City

284
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.440
when I lived with Chico, very
memorable Christmases. For some reason, Christmas

285
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:40.160
time was always big argument time,
family squabbles, friend fights. I remember

286
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.240
Chico had a big fight with his
girlfriend back there named Zoe, this very

287
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:48.279
shapely black girl who was a dancer
and out of Chico's league in terms of

288
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.039
her looks and her figure. And
she go just lost a bunch a weight,

289
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:53.559
but it was still a heavy dude. But I mean, look,

290
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.680
he was a decent looking he was
a great personality, make you laugh all

291
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:03.240
day, making money back and then
but she was caught with another girl and

292
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.319
he saw that and it flipped him
out. And one night. He's screaming,

293
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:10.079
the Christmas tree is up in our
apartment on Madison Ambu and I'm already

294
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:11.400
by He's gonna break the tree.
I'm worried, gonna throw the tree out

295
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.079
the window because that's the way he
gets. Instead, he threw the whole

296
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.319
phone out the window twelve stories up. The phone is down, crashed on

297
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.680
the side, but I haven't got
no phone. Fucking crazy bastard had to

298
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:25.720
get a cell phone to call the
cops. And I'm calling the cops.

299
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.160
You're being nuts. I was on
his back trying to shut them up.

300
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:33.920
He wouldn't try, screaming top of
his lungs about Zoe. Cops came and

301
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.880
he just went right back to saying
nothing. They said, you promised to

302
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:37.559
be good. He goes, yeah, I will. I promise I'll be

303
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:44.279
quiet, went to bed and that
was that. But one year, when

304
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.200
you live in Manhattan back then in
the early nineties, the little Christmas tree

305
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.559
stands like in certain parts of the
city where people will live in Manhattan who

306
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.440
don't have a car to go to
the country and pick their own. You

307
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.000
go to this little area in different
parts of New York and you grab a

308
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.440
tree. You carry it home,
preferably with a friend. You know.

309
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:07.559
I find this tree, and I
go, this is gonna be great for

310
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.480
the apartment because me and Jackie and
Chico all live together. I bring it

311
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.839
home. First thing Chico says is, he goes, but you get that

312
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.160
I sit down the street. He
goes, would you tie it to the

313
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.240
bottom of the car because it looked
like hell. I said, just one

314
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:22.960
side. We'll put that side to
the wall. No one's gonna see it.

315
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:26.039
He says, I'm getting a tree
next year. And the next year

316
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.880
he gets this beautiful tree, gorgeous, big fat round. I think it

317
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.960
was a fur really tall. We
had big ceilings in Manhattan. And I

318
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:38.160
mean he got all the ornaments.
He put birds. I hate. I

319
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.000
don't like birds on a tree.
Birds freaked me out. White birds on

320
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.920
a tree doves too much for me. But he went overboard like he always

321
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.640
did. He spent the fortune,
and that was a nice tree. Everybody

322
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:55.440
who came up I loved the tree. December twenty sixth he gets up in

323
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:57.200
the morning. I'm downstairs watching TV. He gets up in the morning,

324
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:03.440
takes the whole tree, ornaments,
lights, everything, walks into the hallway

325
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.759
and jams it down the garbage choot
on December twenty sixth. I don't know

326
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:10.960
what the hell that looked like down
in the garbage bed, but that was

327
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.319
Chico and then he went, Okay, Christmas is over. Now we focused

328
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:21.880
on New Years. Oh what fun. Speaking of Chico. Some of you

329
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:23.240
guys know this, some of you
don't, But I've been going to an

330
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:29.279
alcoholics anonymous group since right before I
went to the hospital for this craziness with

331
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.640
my ulcers bleeding and what have you. And I go to this AA group

332
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.440
that I like. It's a men's
only group that I've come to really get

333
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:38.960
into. Like, if you go
to AA, you might have to wait

334
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.119
until you find the right group of
people you mix with. Because I was

335
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:45.839
going, but I really didn't like
the people. Not that they were bad,

336
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.839
they just didn't jive with them.
I find this all men's group and

337
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.160
they're great. Both of the guys
are older than me. Some fought in

338
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:55.960
Vietnam. They got thirty years clean, twenty five years clean. But they

339
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:57.680
all tell you their fuck ups and
it's like, oh my God, Like

340
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:02.720
you think your story's hard until you
hear other people's stories. Jesus Christ.

341
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:06.279
But they appealed to me, and
they break balls because they know each other

342
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:10.480
a long time, and I didn't
know that could happen in the AA meeting.

343
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.480
So at the end of each meeting, at the end of each meeting,

344
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.359
we all stand up and make a
big circle and recite the Lord's Prayer

345
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:21.599
as we hold hands. That's what
this meeting does. It. I'm not

346
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.599
sure if every AA does this,
but this one does. So the first

347
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:30.400
time I'm watching, there's a transgender
woman who's dressed as a man, and

348
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.920
I saw and suddenly she's getting close
to and close to the person that's gonna

349
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.200
hold my hand. Not that I
have the cooties or she does, but

350
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.200
I'm just like, of course,
of course I get the tranny's hand to

351
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.839
hold during the Lord's Prayer. And
if I tell you two months ago that

352
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:52.039
I'd be an alcoholics anonymous holding a
tranny's hand and reciting the Lord's Prayer,

353
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:53.240
you would have thought I was nuts. I would have thought I was nuts,

354
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:59.119
But there I was, and I
felt okay about it. But if

355
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:03.720
the meeting says men stag, that
means just men. That means women who

356
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.440
dresses men or men who don't shave, but where a woman's wigs shouldn't be

357
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:12.079
there. I'm sorry. There has
to be a clear alcoholics anonymous or something

358
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:17.440
like that isn't there. There must
be. But as we left, the

359
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:22.559
tranny turned to me to thank me
for sharing my story, and it,

360
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.240
because I don't know what it was, it said to me, you said

361
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:29.839
your name is aj right. I
said yeah, yeah, and it says

362
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:34.480
back to me, Hi, I'm
Chico, and immediately knew that was my

363
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:38.680
best friend back from the dead.
Just to bust my balls because I've never

364
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:44.359
seen that tranny at the meeting I
attend, so don't tell me that wasn't

365
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.039
Chico. It was him for sure. I'm want to leave you with this.

366
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.160
Before you go, I want to
thank somebody that you're probably not gonna

367
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.240
realized. I want to thank but
this person needs to be thanked publicly,

368
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:02.799
and you all should know why.
I have to thank Jamie Fox for finally

369
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:07.519
allowing me to have the vindication I
deserve, even though so many people in

370
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:11.839
the media came down on me,
calling me a liar and wondering aloud who

371
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.119
the hell I thought I was.
That I would actually go public back in

372
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:21.119
May with what Jamie Fox was going
through and what this mystery illness was.

373
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:23.839
And if you remember, I broke
that story and it literally went all over

374
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:30.680
the world. This guy's been out
of the public eye since experiencing this medical

375
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.799
emergency on a film set in April, but he made his first public outing

376
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:40.599
Monday night at some critics choice celebration
of the Cinema of Nonsense Both another one

377
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:42.880
of those awards where you get to
slap each other's back, the Big Circle

378
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:52.000
Dirk for Hollywood Stars. But he
did say while he was getting emotional that

379
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:56.279
he couldn't walk six months ago.
I want to thank everybody I've been through

380
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.359
something. I've been through some things, you know, I cherish every minute.

381
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.279
Now it's different. I couldn't do
this six months ago. I couldn't

382
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:10.559
walk now. If you remember my
story that broke internationally said that Jamie Fox

383
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:15.039
in May was partially paralyzed and partially
blind. Many people poo pooed it.

384
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.759
I tied it up with him getting
the vaccination for this movie role that he

385
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.640
didn't want to get. Some people
didn't like that tie in either way.

386
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:29.000
If he says to a crowd in
Hollywood, I couldn't walk six months ago,

387
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:33.400
that would mean partially paralyzed, would
it not? Okay, I was

388
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:38.680
close to the truth. Meanwhile,
his daughter saying he's playing pickleball at June.

389
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:42.279
That was nonsense, and I called
her out on that as well,

390
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:48.359
and then she called me some crazy
white person because clearly my color means a

391
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:53.279
lot with respect to this story.
Idiots. So it turns out I was

392
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:59.000
correct, very correct when I said
Jamie Fox was partially paralyzed, and like

393
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.960
I said, he was partially blind
as well. Let's see when he's comfortable

394
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.480
enough to let that detail out of
the back. And now you all,

395
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:11.799
you birds, you freebirds, still
whip them around your cage. You're high

Jamie Fox story because there's more to come.

398
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:26.599
And I gotta tell you that's a
story I broke for my patrons way

399
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:29.920
back in May. The Jamie Fox
story got a lot of shit for it,

400
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.240
but I knew I was one hundred
percent correct, So I never got

401
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:38.519
nervous or agitated on you know,
when I was facing people online who said

402
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:42.000
I was lying. In fact,
I felt great knowing I had the goods

403
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:48.039
on it. Not that I wished
him any kind of unfortunate health scare,

404
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.039
but once he's in a hospital and
it's announced, and it's my job to

405
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:55.480
find other details, and I happen
to have somebody in the room. Sorry,

406
00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:59.240
but I want you free birds to
feel the same way when you get

407
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:03.839
an exclusive from me months before the
celebrity decides to go ahead and cop to
