00:00:02.480 --> 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 the guy
put the cock in the peacock network?

3
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.240
Okay, bitch, Hey everybody,
aj Ben's are here with fame as a

4
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.519
bitch. This is your free show
for January ninth, twenty twenty four.

5
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:25.199
Nice to have you free birds along
for the ride. But there's news today.

6
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.679
There was news yesterday, and they
will be news tomorrow. You can

7
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:35.479
bet all having to do with the
Jeffrey Epstein scenario. Oh my goodness.

8
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:40.479
Every day more stuff is coming out. Told you guys last week. Some

9
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.880
of you are getting impatient. Oh
you know, we know this. What's

10
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.719
gonna happen, big deal Clinton and
Prince Andrew. Okay, yeah, but

11
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.320
I also said names are gonna come
out slowly. They're gonna slow roll this

12
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:57.439
story. I have an idea what
they want to do with this story.

13
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.799
I'm gonna release that information on patre
you know, just like I will release

14
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:11.439
some things you haven't read yet about
the Jeffrey Epstein situation. Actual actual things

15
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.879
done, deeds committed, sex had
that I'm not going to release here,

16
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.239
So don't make it. Be a
mean guy and always tantalize. You go

17
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:25.560
to patreon dot com slash fame as
a bitch spring for the five bucks a

18
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.799
month, and you'll get all the
information as it comes to me. That

19
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.040
means sometimes I do quick shows,
even for five or ten minutes, just

20
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.560
to get you guys up to date
on some breaking news. I think you'd

21
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.200
like that in the course of your
day. It's different than a regular podcast.

22
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.920
If I got news that happens at
seven o'clock and I'm not gonna wait

23
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.400
till tomorrow, I'll jump on my
set and give you that information. That's

24
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:52.560
what you get when you come to
me. Okay, now, then let's

25
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:59.200
talk about what's happening. This accused. The person who's accusing Jeffrey Epstein,

26
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:09.000
you know her name, Sarah Ransome. She says she has a friend who

27
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:16.120
filmed herself having sex with President Bill
Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Richard Branson.

28
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:22.479
These are the latest allegations that have
come out in the Epstein documents.

29
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.400
Sarah says, my friend had sexual
intercourse with Clinton, Prince Andrew, Richard

30
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.759
Branson. Sex tapes were in fact
filmed on each separate occasion. I eventually

31
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:38.000
managed to persuade her to send me
some of the video footage which she kept

32
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:44.039
implicating all three men. That's three
men. She hasn't mentioned Trump, even

33
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.680
though so many of you liberals are
dying for that. But nothing yet,

34
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.919
although there is a little thing about
Trump. I'll get to that in a

35
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.800
second. Very interesting. She says
that this woman claims to know everything and

36
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.879
to possess tapes to prove it.
Has a name. Now, this is

37
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.479
what this girl intrigues me. And
this whole situation obviously has enthralled a lot

38
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.879
of people. If you look at
her name, Sarah Ransome r A N

39
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:17.199
S O M E. I find
it very weird and ironic that her name

40
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:23.719
is well, it just closely resembles
the word ransom, which is what you'd

41
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:30.120
kind of hear whenever there's a story
that's setting around blackmail. And that's what

42
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:37.479
Jeffrey Everstein did this whole, this
whole setup, whether it was his ranch

43
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:43.039
in New Mexico or his big townhouse
mansion in New York City or the island,

44
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.479
these were blackmail operations for the rich
and powerful to be filmed having sex

45
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:57.400
so that he could bribe them unless
they paid a handsome ransom. So Ransome

46
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.080
didn't share any of the footage,
which I can't stand. But she says

47
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:06.919
she's backed up the footage on some
USB sticks and she secretly sent them to

48
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:14.080
various different locations throughout Europe, with
only one other person close to her knowing

49
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.680
where these locations are, just in
case anything happens to her before the footage

50
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:25.399
is released. Do you think the
footage will ever be released? Christ She

51
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.600
says that her friend was silenced by
the Clinton presidential campaign in two thousand and

52
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:36.240
eight, and she got a payout
from the Clinton Foundation to stay silent,

53
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:42.439
keep her trap shut. She says. Her friend says she'll be dead if

54
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:48.240
she speaks out. I could see
the Clinton's suiciding her, just like somebody

55
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:56.560
suicide of Jeffrey Epstein. She's one
hundred percent, one thousand percent certain that

56
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.959
the FBI did a cover up,
and she has the individ visual names of

57
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:06.800
Hillary's special agent officers involved in intimidating
her. Interesting stuff. She also says

58
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:12.360
that her friend was forced against the
will to sign a legally binding confidentiality agreement

59
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:17.560
on Hillary's behalf for her eternal silence. If she breaks it, she is

60
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:24.920
dead now. Ransome goes on to
say another friend no names here. Another

61
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.680
friend was one of the many girls
that had sex with Donald Trump, and

62
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:38.839
she detailed some of these sexual relationship
peccadillos. I also know she had sex

63
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.879
with Trump at Jeffrey's New York mansion
on regular occasions, as once I met

64
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.360
her for coffee. Her name is
Jen, just before she was going to

65
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.480
meet Trump and Epstein together at his
mansion. But look, here's the thing.

66
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.000
You know, these things begin with
a friend of mine said, YadA,

67
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.920
YadA, YadA, show me the
damn tape, show me a snippet,

68
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.360
show me something. We need proof. We've all waited long enough.

69
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:08.279
Don't you think people can say anything
they want. Anyone could accuse anyone of

70
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:14.680
anything. Proof is what we need. And I don't like the way Ransom

71
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.879
says so deliberately. I have it
all on USBs and they're locked in safe

72
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:24.160
houses across Europe in case something happens
to me. That to me sounds a

73
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.199
bit too mission impossible, too dramatic. I know somebody you might say,

74
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.839
ah, it is that way.
It's a very crazy situation. I get

75
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.040
it, But the way that's worded
it sounds too dramatic and a little bit

76
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.160
too practiced for me, you know
what I mean. And I feel like

77
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:44.480
if Trump was actually doing this,
First of all, did she say that

78
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.560
girl was underage? If it's an
of age woman that Trump was meaning to

79
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.560
have sex with, I could give
I could give a shit. I could

80
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:57.120
care less. If any of those
guys had sex with over the age of

81
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.360
consent, that doesn't bother me one
bit. I don't care if Hea what's

82
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:06.600
her name, his first wife,
Evanna or the current wife doesn't bother me.

83
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.439
Or if Bill cheateah on Hillary,
Oh my god, that's the last

84
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.680
of my concerns, the least of
my concerns. But if Trump actually did

85
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.079
this and there was some proof,
you know, don't forget. Hillary's people

86
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:26.480
are very tight with the FBI,
tight with all people to doj you name

87
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.920
it. Democrats run those branches of
government. Don't you think this has already

88
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.560
been leaked already? I mean,
Adam Schiff would have had a heart on

89
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.959
so big he couldn't walk into the
Capitol. A lot of anti Trumpers would

90
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:44.800
have a hard time walking into the
Capitol. But here's the thing, you

91
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:49.160
know, and they're tantalizing us every
day. Game Well, we already know

92
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:55.639
that this footage We've known this for
years now. We've known that Jeffrey Epstein

93
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:01.040
had dozens, if not hundreds of
hidden cameras had his New Mexico ranch,

94
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:09.839
the compound the New York City place
Pedophile Island. There are literally pictures of

95
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:16.279
the videotapes at evidence boxes are taken
by the FBI and police once they search

96
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.639
that compound. We've seen that.
What I don't understand is how we're all

97
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:28.199
still acting like all of this is
new information. We've discussed this exact thing

98
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.440
multiple times over the past few years, haven't we, And each time we

99
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:39.320
all act like, oh, it's
breaking news. We never know about that

100
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.679
bullshit? Yes we have, and
we do. That's our problem. We

101
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.799
find out the truth, and then
within one week's time we completely forget about

102
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:54.240
it and we've already moved on to
the next thing. And then a year

103
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.200
later to the next thing, and
then a year after that, the same

104
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.360
information from before resurfaces, and then
we all act shocked for a week or

105
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:11.399
so until we forget about the whole
bullshit again. We literally don't do anything

106
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.960
about any of this madness going on. We just continue to play along.

107
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.919
It's musical chairs. We get at
this footage. We've known it. So

108
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:28.039
basically all this is about is Sarah
Ransom finally saying I have a friend who

109
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.679
has footage. What did she do
beyond that, we've known it, We

110
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.960
put a name to it. One
girl named Jen allegedly had sex with Trump.

111
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.559
We don't know how old she is, we don't know dates, we

112
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.360
don't know enough to convict anybody.
It's just tantalizing information, and frankly,

113
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.240
I'm getting sick of it. Yes, we all want to hear big news.

114
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.679
We all want that big story.
Proof positive. Here's a video of

115
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.159
Clinton. Here's a video of Andrew. We want to see that because we

116
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.480
all love a car. We all
rubber neck when we pass a horrible scene

117
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:09.639
on the side of a highway.
Well, so far, no footage.

118
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:15.279
When there's footage, I want to
know about it. Anyhow, Some good

119
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:20.559
news coming out of Britney Spears camp. Finally, finally good news. Britney

120
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:26.840
Spears insists she will never make music
again, even if her team is assembling

121
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:33.000
songwriters for what they claim is going
to be her tenth album. And she

122
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.840
dispelled any notion of that. She
said just so way clear. Most of

123
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.759
the news you read is trash.
They keep saying, I'm turning to random

124
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.000
people and do a new album.
I will never return to the music industry

125
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.279
when I write for fun or I
write for other people. For those of

126
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.000
you who have read my book,
there's loads you don't know about me.

127
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.440
Well, why didn't you include that
in your fucking book, which now is

128
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:05.000
fifty percent off at Target. She
really seems very uninterested in ever stepping foot

129
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.159
behind the studio microphone again. And
by the way, who told you that?

130
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.279
When all this happened, when her
conservativeship ended and she went back to

131
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.919
her house and started churning out weird
sexual videos of herself gyrating in the shower

132
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.639
on the in her foyer to old
music or rubbing her ass into the sand

133
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.919
in Hawaii or or Mexican beaches.
I told you, I said, this

134
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.480
girl will never sing again, never
perform again. Yeah, there was that

135
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.200
song with Elton John which sounded awful, and she did one other thing I

136
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.559
forget now, but its shit.
She's not putting together anything great. She's

137
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.639
done. She's done, and it's
it. But it's also great news.

138
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.679
Now she's claiming that she's written over
twenty songs for other people during the past

139
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:00.120
two years. She says she's a
ghost writer and honestly enjoys it that way

140
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.399
better. I don't believe that twenty
songs. Have you seen here with the

141
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:09.799
knives in the hallway and the craziness, she's not writing anything. She didn't

142
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.240
write her book, that's for sure. She had someone write it. Most

143
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.480
of these stars do the same thing. People are saying my book was released

144
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.240
without my approval illegally, and that's
far for the truth. Have you read

145
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.840
the news these days, I'm so
loved and blessed. Now, Brittany,

146
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:30.360
You're only loved and blessed by your
crazy fanatics who call you clean and make

147
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.120
believe everything you do is superlative.
It's wonderful, it's fantastic, and the

148
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:41.080
best yeas clean. The other day, The News reported that Charlie XCX and

149
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:48.120
Julian Michaels were writing songs for her
next installment, but then that was shot

150
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:54.399
down. She hasn't recorded any new
material, but even though Rolling Stone confirmed

151
00:12:54.399 --> 00:13:01.720
it, they confirmed that Charlie and
Michaels signed on to contribut But Britney just

152
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.080
not about that someone's forcing her to
do this and who might that be?

153
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.000
You think people on the gravy train, want more money coming in? You

154
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:15.440
think Daddy Spears has something to do
with that, something to do with either's

155
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:20.759
being placed in a New York Post
or Rolling Stone or maybe a TMZ watch

156
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:26.159
what TMZ puts out about Britney Spears. I've said multiple times that I have

157
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:33.519
pretty good proof that TMZ is kind
of in Britney's pocket, in Daddy spears

158
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.960
pocket. They'll do whatever Daddy Spears
says, which really is a letdown because

159
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.519
that's not the Harvey Levin I know, especially the way he does business as

160
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.799
a journalist and a lawyer. But
apparently from stories planted here and there,

161
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.600
it's plain to see that whenever TMZ
gets a scoop on on a Britney story,

162
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:01.039
it's usually from the father. And
let's face it, the money coming

163
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.399
in is not what it used to
be. No more tour, no more

164
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:09.039
Vegash, no more Vegas residency.
Things have slowed down to a trickle.

165
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:15.559
So somebody's pushing her quote unquote music
career forward, but I ain't her,

166
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.799
and she wants nothing to do with
it, And I guess no music means

167
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.480
guess what we'll have to see her
swinging on that stripper pol or doing all

168
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:30.360
that ridiculous shit I've told you about
forever, and you've seen Forever on Instagram.

169
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:33.480
Look at it. I just can't
believe her mental health is still not

170
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:39.600
being addressed by anyone. She needs
help desperately. You think this girl can

171
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.639
last forty thirty more years. I
don't, But I don't mean that in

172
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.240
the mean way. It's a concerned
way. How could this go on?

173
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.840
She's acting like a teenager, spending
all her money endless dancing videos, without

174
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:58.960
a career. She could do something, get a better education, volunteer somewhere,

175
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:07.120
anything, So we're gonna have this
Brittany sideshow circus until watch she's seventy

176
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.120
five, but she won't reach that
age because there's no growth in her.

177
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:18.159
But she's free to do something better
with her life, and obviously she's not.

178
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.919
There's something wrong with her. But
at this point it's up to her

179
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.039
or somebody very close to her to
make sure she's on her meds and moves

180
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.399
on to doing something meaningful in her
life. Good thing, there's some money

181
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:37.039
in the bank because dancing like a
nutcase that your foyer doesn't pay as well

182
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:43.559
as it used to. That's not
the only good news coming from the music

183
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:50.000
industry. The other good news is
Iggy Azalea won't be finishing her fourth album.

184
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.120
Ah did you know she was starting
her fourth? Iggy Azalea said the

185
00:15:54.159 --> 00:16:00.399
other day she's stepping away from music
entirely to focus on other creative ventures.

186
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:07.279
Good. What might you want to
do? I think she's designing something artistic,

187
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:12.639
she said. Does anybody know this
girl still is putting together an album?

188
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:19.000
Iggy Azalea, She's not gonna finish
it. It's one pause for months,

189
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:25.240
and she's tending to other business opportunities. I can't imagine somebody reaching out

190
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:29.440
to her with an opportunity for business, But she says she feels very happy,

191
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:37.200
very passionate. I don't know these
girls, Iggy especially she got the

192
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.720
big fake ass. Don't tell me
she was working on a gym to get

193
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.320
that ass like that. She got
the big fake ass. She loves her

194
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.879
black eyes. She knows that's what
they like to see. She gets that

195
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:53.480
done. I just said, you
know who the last time she sang,

196
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.559
I think she saw her pants split
because her ass is too big. She

197
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:02.720
was in Saudi Arabia a couple of
years ago and her pants split on stage.

198
00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:07.440
Shut the cut off her shell because
of this wardrobe malfunction. The worst

199
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:14.000
place to have your pants split is
a woman in Saudi Arabia. She's got

200
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:22.480
one kid Onyx with that weird o
playboy CARDI. All these young white recording

201
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.799
artists, even the black ones,
hooking up with these idiot rappers who can't

202
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:33.359
speak right, just wearing sixteen pounds
of jewelry, silver teeth, gold teeth,

203
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.440
dyed hair, stack, some money
in their hand. What the fuck

204
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:42.920
is that's the father of your kid? You're happy with that? Let me

205
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:48.119
explain what Iggy Azelia has in store
for her future. Two words, OnlyFans,

206
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.519
and I'll tell you right now.
I can't even blame her. There

207
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.839
were so many girls who do have
one one thousand of her following, who

208
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:03.079
are making fifty grand a month and
more. I wonder what Andy Warhol would

209
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.400
have said if you knew about OnlyFans. Forget, everybody'd be famous for fifteen

210
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:14.079
seconds. Everybody will be famous for
fifteen years. Only fans just the latest

211
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:18.759
thing to extend someone's career, quote
unquote, There'll be more coming down the

212
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.279
pike real quick. Couple of notes
about the Golden Globes. I do a

213
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.960
lot more on the Patreon show,
but I'll give you a few here.

214
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.799
I hated Joe Coy. I'm sure
if you saw it you knew what I

215
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:36.279
meant. You know what I mean. I didn't like the fact that Barbie

216
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:41.480
got its own award. The Box
Office Award looked ridiculous. Too much pink.

217
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.119
It was blinding me. I used
to always handicap these dumb shows.

218
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.519
I used to always do well too. I would rarely get more than four

219
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.039
or five wrong whenever I would choose
who I believe would win the Oscars,

220
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.880
Golden Globes, Emmys. I don't
do the Tonys, though, but handicapping

221
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:03.039
the Golden Globes has become more difficult
for years now. It's either downright hard

222
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.119
or very easy to pick when is
all you got to do is remember how

223
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.880
much diversity, equity and inclusion is
ruining everything, and then make your picks

224
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.079
accordingly. Doesn't matter whether you love
so and so in a movie or love

225
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:21.160
this movie's director. It doesn't matter. Back in the day, I used

226
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:25.119
to watch all the movies that were
nominated. I used to get those DVDs

227
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:29.839
from the Screen Actors Guild, and
I actually used it to root for the

228
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:34.640
people I knew and liked. The
weirdst Oscars I ever saw was when I

229
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.359
was hanging out with Monona Ryder and
she came over to my place. I

230
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.400
cooked dinner and we watched the Oscars, and I thought I knew a lot

231
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.039
of people. I wasn't prepared to
sit and watch a show like that with

232
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.559
someone who'd been in the business for
thirty years. She knew the wardrobe people,

233
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.680
the makeup people, set designers,
the people who composed the scores.

234
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.480
That was a trippy night. And
who knows these people? You forget you're

235
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.119
talking to someone who's in that business. But here going forward for those of

236
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.200
you who want to handicap these award
shows, the Oscars are coming up,

237
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.839
the Essay, the SAG Awards are
coming up, Critics Choice Awards. Forget

238
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.400
who you liked. You gotta make
your picks based on diversity, equity,

239
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:18.200
and inclusion. It's no longer subtle. The people behind the Golden Glows came

240
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.160
out and said how proud they were, but all the diversity there was this

241
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:29.640
year, that's how they chose the
nominees. Joe Cloy Filipino opened the show

242
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.119
by saying this room is really white. Go shit in your hat. Then

243
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:38.319
he ends the show speaking tagalog.
No one cares, just say good night

244
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:45.359
everybody. Before the show even aired, the Golden Gloves put on a press

245
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:51.200
release. Millions of viewers watching the
CBS live air ceremony will experience diversity in

246
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:55.559
entertainment, not only in the events
host, but also in the nominees and

247
00:20:55.640 --> 00:21:03.440
the three hundred international voters behind the
scenes. The move toward more diversity entertainment

248
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.920
media signals a move toward embracing the
world's diversity. How about embracing the world's

249
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.640
talent, and with more diversity across
the globe of the globes, across the

250
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:17.200
board of the globes, the pieces
nominated tonight more accurately reflect the individuals and

251
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:21.079
cultures that make up audiences. I
swear to God, this show was so

252
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:26.759
much better when studios openly bribed them
to make sure their films would win,

253
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:32.160
thus ensuring bigger grosses at the box
office. Back in the day where Harvey

254
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:36.240
Wearinstein sat up front and all the
women called him God and sat on his

255
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:41.599
lap hoping he could get them that
gold statuette. But it's all different now,

256
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:49.200
all different there was a film commercial
or trailer I saw the other night.

257
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.799
Oh, I wanted to kill myself. It's called American Fiction. It's

258
00:21:53.839 --> 00:22:00.799
got Jeffrey Wright in it. This
film actually had this exchange between two black

259
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:07.039
women. Jeffrey Wright introduces his girlfriend
to his mother, and the mother's first

260
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.519
words of the girl are I'm so
happy you're not white, and the girlfriend

261
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:18.519
shoots back, so am I smiling? Because white people are bad. There

262
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.640
will never be true equality or fairness
until a white actor can say to another

263
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:27.079
white actor, I'm glad you're not
black. You think that day will ever

264
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:34.119
come? Of course not. But
we can only hope for more, for

265
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:40.119
better, for breaking stories, for
more personal stories. Got at patreon dot
