From workhouse connect in aj Benza fame, He'd like to be walked on a
leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. He's the guy put the
cock in the peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody aj Benzy
here with fame is a bitch. This is your free show from Monday.
Manic mondays it's May two, twenty twenty two five two two o two two
looking good. May is among us, would say May is a monus.
The month of May is among us. I guess it was nice to get
out of April. I felt like April lasted too long for some reason.
But May May's a good months. I mentioned on today's Patreon that I'm only
thirty one days away from being sixty years old, and it's very alarming.
It's very alarming. My dad died in sixty one, and now here I
am close to being one year away from the age he was when he passed.
On. Ah, don't want to hear happy Birthday, don't want these
songs, don't want he gifts. Just want to stay in bed the whole
day, flipping through the papers. The last couple of days, I can't
believe that I'm reading here that Jennifer Gray. The actress Jennifer Gray is going
to be in this sequel to nineteen eighty seven's Dirty Dancing. Oh my god.
She might have the time of her life, but the rest of us
sure won't. This doesn't need to be done. Anybody out there thinks this
not a new version needs to be done. I know. Patrick Swayzey once
said, nobody puts baby in a corner. But no, no, it's
it's it's time. It's time for baby to be put away. Forget to
her. Put baby away and she resembles nothing close to her baby anymore,
even though that was her nickname. But yeah. The other day, Lion's
Gate Films held a presentation at the CinemaCon out in Las Vegas, where they
announced, very happily the new flick is going to be alongside old clips from
the romance Trauma, and they couldn't wait to say in a voice over.
Jennifer Gray returns to Kellerman's in the next chapter. Now, if you remember,
Kellerman's was the Cat's Skills resort where Jennifer Gray's character, Francis Baby Houseman
and her family and her unmistakable Jewish nose all vacation before and then before she
met and eventually fell in love with her dancing partner Patrick Swayzey's Johnny Castle.
Now, look, this film was huge, remember it well was never my
cup of tea. In fact, I saw it once many years after it
came out. I found it so corny. I think a lot of men
think it's corny. I know women loved it. But they've already made two
other versions of this in the past and both were just absolutely awful. Why
another one? What is it about Hollywood executives who sit around a room and
just can't figure out any kind of new idea. Let's go back and retread
Dirty Dancing again. No, don't do it. There was a flick in
I think it was a prequel back in two thousand and four called Dirty Dancing
Havana Knights had very little to do with the original film, and they actually
took this location to Central America, this production to Central America during the Cuban
Revolution of the nineteen fifties. Swazy, as you know, died back and
walked twenty nine, twenty ten, twenty on nine, fifty seven year old.
I mean, I met the guy a couple of times. Cool as
hell and everybody who knew and loved him. He made a cameo appearance in
this terrible version of Havana Knights as a dance class instructor, shitty reviews up
and down the board, and then Jennifer Gray got that nose job where she
became completely unidentifiable. Remember there was a time when she walked the red carpet
with Michael Douglas one year, and they both know each other very well.
He had no idea who he was speaking to. Now, that's how go
look at her nose, look at the old dirty dancing nose and look at
the nose. After that, she had to tell Michael Douglas twice that it
was her, Jennifer Gray. He was more to fight mort to fight.
I'm trying to imagine what this next version is going to be like. With
all the boltox and the filler that Jennifer Gray has in her face on top
of that ridiculous rhino plastic, this next version of Dirty Dancing must be about.
I don't know what a sixty three year old woman in Beverly Hills who
falls in love with her dance instructor someplace on Rodeo Drive. But who's gonna
play the instructor. Patrick Swayzy's gone, and she's just gonna be a chick
who bangs dance instructors every forty five fifty years. What's the point of this.
I don't see this making a splash at all. I think it's gonna
be laughable, and no one's gonna go see it, not even the people
who were the original disciples and lovers of the first film. Baby needs to
be put away, not in a corner stuff for a while, never to
come out again. It's going to be laughable. And speaking of laughable,
these stories just get better and better. This is just more proof that people
who talk gender and want their pronouns to be different, they're so confused and
utterly baffuled about what they think they should do next, that they do things
like this. Our favorite Demi Levado now has updated I'm not going to say
their prono, you know I will for the purpose of the story. She's
updated their pronouns on Instagram now. If you remember, back in May last
year, she announced I'm proud to let you know that I identify as non
binary and will officially be changing my pronouns to they them moving forward, we
all had a good laugh about it, because slowly everything else Demi Levado was
doing was a little crazy, changing the hair color, getting the pixie color,
getting the lesbian cut, looking a little emo. At times, we
didn't know what she was up to, and I don't think she knew even
And fans began to notice this list last week that her Instagram bio now says
they then she her, but you know, they have not given an official
update or comment regarding the apparent pronoun change now. She previously talked about their
pronouns and last summer she told her fans on Instagram, if you miss gender
me, that's okay. I accidentally miss gender myself. Sometimes it's a huge
transition to change the pronouns I viewed for myself my entire life, and it's
difficult to remember sometimes. Then, don't get pissy when we miss gender you
or just don't want to subscribe to this gender your bullshit. And she continued
to said, as long as you keep trying to respect my truth, it's
got to be the worst phase that's come out of this century. Respect my
truth. As long as I remember my truth, that shift will come naturally.
I'm just grateful for your effort in trying to remember what means so much
to my healing process. How about no more drugs than Melvado. I know
now you've even stopped being California Soul because you realize that sounding ridiculous. We
kind of sensed you were getting high once in a while on weed and still
drinking alcohol. Now and then this is, you know, a year or
two after you are literally pronounced dead, just about after your odon, heroin
and everything else in your system. This girl doesn't know what to do with
herself. What she needs to do is get back in the goddamn studio.
But that's not how been. There might be a time when I even identify
as trans they explained, Oh God, of course that's going to happen.
Why wouldn't it happen. Look at her face? Look at the corresponding image
of her face when you google this article. She looks She looks really bad.
I hate to say that, because God knows, I found her to
be a very pretty girl, beautiful girl, and immensely talented. And it's
just sliding downhill like a load of shit, all of it. I don't
know what this looks like for me. There might be a time where I
identify as don binary and gender non conforming my entire life, or maybe there
there's a period of time when I get older and I identify as a woman.
What the fuck is good? I don't know what that looks like.
But for me, in this moment right now, this is how I identify.
I still don't know what she identifies as. What is it? They
did say that they had a feeling that things wouldn't change for them, but
at the same time, she said, it's about keeping it open and free
and just you know, I'm a very fluid person, and so that goes
with how I expressed myself as well. Or maybe, guys, she'll just
keep doing this sort of shit because you know this is the only way you
can never get attention again. Demi Levado, what a waste of a beautiful
voice. Man, It was right there for so long, especially her comeback
song at the Grammy Awards. But she had to start again after she began
to cry the first time, and when she found the right notes and found
the right place to sing in her diaphragm and in her throat and the tears
stopped. Remarkable song, beautiful voice. It's gone now. I hope I'm
wrong, but she's concentrating too much on this gender unless on her wonderful God
given ability. I think you could turn your back on what God gives you.
He tends to get a little pissed off at you, and maybe he's
putting it through this because Hey, I gave you that goddamn songbird voice.
You're not using it. First, you messed around the drugs. Now you're
up and down the board. But this gender bullshit, get back in the
studio and Saint and God please grow your hair again. What are we doing
nowadays with young kids being corrupted by all these gender theories, gender stories,
just general gender bullshit. Did you hear about the latest event in upside down
clown World? Oh? Yeah? Ald in Pennsylvania. Oh, Pennsylvania,
one of my favorite states. Not. A Pennsylvania teacher hosted a drag show
event for students as part of the GSA club. Parents were reportedly not notified
and the district now has confirmed this morning that the teacher is on leave.
That's good. So the Hempfield School District administration, they became aware of a
very serious situation that took place at the high school April twenty fifth, after
school hours. Administration was notified of a concerning social media post and a photo
and then some videos other performance that occurred during and after school event for the
Gay Sexuality Alliance Club or the GSA Club unbelievable. Right after the notification,
they said, we launched an investigation, and first and foremost, they wrote,
the administration team apologizes to students, parents and the community on behalf of
those involved in this event. We are a pall that we took place and
in no way condone this type of activity in our schools. Neither the dress
of the invited guests nor the performance was appropriate in our school setting. And
they promised they're taking the incident seriously in our ongoing investigation and follow up actions.
It's important to district administrators that the district has the truest has the trust
and confidence of the community, and we realize that an incident such as this
completely undermines that trust. And I'll finish off by saying we commit to completing
a thorough investigation and holding those involved accountable. Will you better not just keep
her on leave, get rid of her, toss her, toss her.
She needs disciplinary action. Currently, an individual has been placed on administrative leave,
penning the outcome of the investigation, and since this is a personal issue,
there will be certain information the district is unable to share with the public,
or the public will find out who this fucking teacher was and the public
will deal with her. We respectfully request that while the appropriate district personnel investigates
this and addresses this serious matter, please refrain from speculation and furthering currently these
the words they use just make it simple, stupid individuals, refrain from speculation
and furthering currently circulating misinformation that can get in the way of a thorough and
accurate and now it's not nothing. Now, Now whatever whatever's being speculated and
furthered is true because parents talk to people who were there and they're out of
their minds. And you know, you can't just call these people Marxists anymore,
because you know, calling them Marxists actually flatters them. The people who
put these shows on unbelievable. Today's left, the new left, the won't
let has nothing to do with the working class. It was so many miles
apart. They've got nothing to do with helping the working class. And this
phenomenon, for lack of a better word, has been provided to us as
a diversion from class issues. If you really think about it, the corporate
left, the Wall Street left, the university left, they're just force feeding
everyone this garbage, and that's compliments of their billionaire paymasters. And this is
all it means to keep economic issues out of public discourse. You mean to
tell me that the parents knew this was going to be a drag show and
that was okay with them. Do they not know what is going on in
their schools? This is what's wrong with our country. Not myself, and
certainly not my parents would have ever stood for this kind of crap in a
million years. My father would have set the school on fire at night.
Then he would have spent the rest of his life running off those so called
teachers from their homes and jobs. He would have made their lives a living
hell. So much for just you know, let let us be ourselves.
We aren't trying to indoctrinate anyone else. Bullshit. You're all sick, evil
people people. I'm not a religious guy, but these people need to be
saved. Say a prayer for these people. They have to be stopped from
harming our kids. You know, it wasn't that long ago where adults used
to protect children, and then they carried the dilemma of moral choices themselves by
telling kids no, you tell a kid no. Now they're forcing kids to
be the adults by making them the moral gatekeepers of themselves. And how many
you're gonna be able to resist this tide of scum that they're robbing them of
a time of just being allowed to be carefree and innocent. You know,
even when you think of you know, parents laying out dresses for their three
or four year old boy because he might have thought he's a girl because he
played with a princess doll, his sister's princess doll. You know, it's
just give him time to just have a little bit of an imagination before you
slam shut any notion of them understanding their gender in time and not just accepting
what they say at two years old, I'm a girl today. I mean,
you were kids who call themselves superheroes. What are you gonna do?
Lay out of cape and tell them jump about the fucking window like Superman.
No, you don't do that. You tell a kid no, you're not
a superhero. You can be, but when you grow up and not yet,
it's not that difficult. Never imagine this in my lifetime. You know,
if the words of our forefathers were still taught in school, and not
the history of drag queens like Chee Chee LaRue or Head of Lettuce, maybe
our kids would know some words of the great Samuel Adams, who once said,
and this is appropriate, it is in the interest of tyrants to reduce
the people to ignorance and vice, for they cannot live in any country where
virtue and knowledge prevail. The religion and public liberty of the people are intimately
connected. Their interests are interwoven. They cannot subsist separately, and therefore they
rise and fall together. And for this reason it is always observable that those
who are combined to destroy the people's liberties practice every art to poisoned them morals.
Yep, I read a story from a parent who lives in this school
district. And how's this for a curriculum? How's this for a teacher?
No word yet on this teachers on administrative leave. But a seventh grade science
teacher assigned a YouTube video for her students to view. You know what the
subject was, Teddy bear porn seventh grade science. Can we stick to the
planets. Can we stick to rocks? Unbelievable. They got to see videos
like hot blonde mom rubs her clearterists and cheats on her husband with Teddy Bear
seventh grade science. The degradation of education is real. It is here,
and it is disgusting, and you've got to fight to get rid of it.
These these weirdos, these weirdos we're talking about, make up a fraction
of a percentage of this country. If they want to be seen, there
are places they can go to to go act out. There's sick fantasies and
the tiny fraction of people who actually want to see this kind of shit,
they can find them there. But stay away from the schools, you perverts.
No matter what anyone claims, these people have a mental disorder and it's
being celebrated. And why and by the way, why does everyone have to
be celebrated these days? And people have to be forced to celebrate your mental
illness? No, No, And as I get, as I get older,
I get to where I really you know, I tolerate less and less
of the bullshit. These teachers who do this kind of stuff need to be
publicly confronted. They need to be hunted down like dogs in the street and
dealt with I don't want to get more violent than that, but usually imagine
an All right, changing the subject, Oprah Winfrey recently went public No,
not with that. We all wish one day she would. She went public
with the story that when COVID hit, she actually spent three hundred and twenty
two days without ever leaving her home almost a year now. Oprah owns several
estates across the country. So I don't know if she's talking about her Montecito
estate, which is called Promised Land, or her tell Your Rid estate or
her Mallie estate. But Oprah has these massive estates that feature Olympic size swimming
pools, indoor swimming pools, movie theaters, dozens of bathrooms, personal Jim's
probably a padded room where she keeps Stegman. But I mean. She recently
spoke to the La Times to promote this new documentary called The Color of Care.
It's about racial inequality in healthcare. Of course, there's always racial inequality
everywhere. Thanks for pointing that Outprah. She said that she was cautious during
the pandemic after hearing from friends and other people who had lost loved ones to
COVID nineteen, and she said, my empathy and understanding of what was what
that must be like to go through is how I've been relating. I've been
so careful with myself that my own friends make fun of me. I didn't
leave home for three hundred and twenty two days, literally did not leave the
house, so it has not been for me personally a heavy burden to bear.
She said. The experience began to wear in her in the late part
of twenty twenty one, but she said she was surprised by how well she
adapted to the isolation of the pandemic and was able to make time for herself.
She said, I remember at one point Gail King, her best friend,
said don't you just miss being around with the people? And Oprah said,
not really. And I think it's because every day I was in an
audience of three hundred and fifty people twice a day, so I had did
a lot of shaken hands, signing, autograph taken selfies, lots of attention
and exposure of being around a lot of people. I was able to be
with myself in a way that I haven't been able for years, because usually
even if I take time off for myself. I'm thinking about what's coming up
to what's coming next down the curve. Don't anybody tell me she didn't see
Gail King for three hundred and twenty two days. I'll never believe that.
And by the way, when you get right down to it, if you
were living in any of Oprah's estates during COVID, would you leave either?
Would you ever believed? No? Of course not so. Am I supposed
to feel sorry for her with this story? Oh, you stayed on your
seventy acre estate with a full staff of help, unlimited money, movies,
TV series, music, great food with chefs who could cook any time of
day or night for you. Sign me up for that. But even with
all that, I think she's a little bit crazy. Three undred twenty two
days without leaving the house or having any other human contact. It's not good
for somebody. You could isolate, But you could still go for a walk
in your beautiful, ritzy neighborhood and wave hello to Harry Meighan or Rob Lowe
while staying six feet away from your neighbors. When I was in the studio
city during that time in the pandemic, you know, people get out of
the house and walk down the street. Lots of families and kids on bikes
began to get exercised that way, a social distance from people on their walks.
A Winfrey pumping to stay the goddamn mouse, do us a fame and
nothing nothing, Oprah, don't come back yet because I don't miss her yet.
Like, go make your your goddamn documentary about racial and equality, but
stay away for them two years. I think that's fair. Give Steadman sometime.
We've had enough of Oprah Winfrey for a while. All Right, that's
it for today, A little short, but got stuff to do Sunday night.
That's it for today. I'm a jay bender. That was your free
show. That was Manic Monday. For May second, twenty twenty two.
