Speaker 1: From Workhouse Connect and aj Benze.
Speaker 2: Fame. Uh, he'd liked to be walked on a leash
Speaker 2: and play really dirty, kinky sex games. He's uh the
Speaker 2: guy put the cock in the peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody,
Speaker 2: aj Ben's are here with same as a bitch. This
Speaker 2: is your daily Unfiltered podcast for December tenth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: One two one two oh two five twelve ten, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five. Nice and stocky. It's a good date. It's
Speaker 2: a good date. Feel good about yourselves today, whatever you do.
Speaker 2: You got fifteen more days to get your shit together.
Speaker 2: Get the gifts, Hope your trees are up right. You
Speaker 2: overwhelmed with stuff to do? I get it. We all are.
Speaker 2: I get it. You know it wasn't overwhelmed last week.
Speaker 2: Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, what was it last week? Well,
Speaker 2: let's say recently, the two of them, who we know
Speaker 2: starred in the Naked Gun movie, they got together and
Speaker 2: she said they had an intimate week, and she did
Speaker 2: say what they have as a roller coaster romance. Can
Speaker 2: I tell you right now why it's a roller coaster?
Speaker 2: Because she doesn't fucking wear makeup every day. Let me
Speaker 2: back off. It's too early to get too hot. But
Speaker 2: when I see pictures of her looking like the Swiss
Speaker 2: miss Girl, the hot chop the girl, it doesn't do
Speaker 2: me any good. We need to pin up back. You
Speaker 2: don't have to wear all the crazy eyeshadow and mess
Speaker 2: gara and fake lashes and yeah, yeah, you could tone
Speaker 2: it down to be the fifty eight year old woman
Speaker 2: you are. It's okay, but you don't have to keep
Speaker 2: showing us what you look like when you wake up
Speaker 2: in the morning. Come on, show us what you look
Speaker 2: like going to bed at night. But she did tell
Speaker 2: the public, if you must know, Liam and I were
Speaker 2: romantically involved for a short while, but only after we
Speaker 2: finished filming. I don't believe that at all. There's no
Speaker 2: way they waited eight weeks to fuck get out of here. No,
Speaker 2: it's a lie. It's a lie. They messed around, but
Speaker 2: they did have an intimate week together at his upstate
Speaker 2: New York home. You know, I gotta tell you speaking
Speaker 2: of homes really quickly. Listen to a podcast today. Neil Brennan,
Speaker 2: the comedian great. He's a great writer. He wrote The
Speaker 2: Chappelle Show. Neil Brennan is tremendously funny. And he's got
Speaker 2: a podcast called Blocked or's it Blocks? I think it's Blocks.
Speaker 2: But he had Russell Peters on, the comedian who's of
Speaker 2: Indian descent, and yeah, I know, Russell Peters has done
Speaker 2: well for years. I never found him particularly funny whatsoever.
Speaker 2: I mean, not at all. I'd rather watch Dick Van
Speaker 2: Dyke or Bob Hope. Russell Peters does nothing for me.
Speaker 2: But the guy has made a fortune. I mean, you
Speaker 2: listen to him on this podcast talk about well, you know,
Speaker 2: I had to sell my eight million dollar house and
Speaker 2: now it's worth fifteen million. I sold my other three
Speaker 2: houses because I was in a hole. My business manager
Speaker 2: put me in a nine million dollar hole. I saw
Speaker 2: my convertible rolls, Royce, my Lamborghini, my business. I'm like,
Speaker 2: what the fuck. I can't tell you one funny joke
Speaker 2: he ever said. But the guy's that loaded. I don't
Speaker 2: know what these these comedians in this decade are the
Speaker 2: luckiest group of people in the world because eighty five
Speaker 2: percent of them are absolute average, just average. But it's
Speaker 2: the day and age of arenas and tours and podcasts
Speaker 2: and the money they're making and don't get me started
Speaker 2: on Tim Dillon. I used to enjoy his podcast when
Speaker 2: Trump was running. He was more or less pro Trump
Speaker 2: and got involved in the whole thick of it with
Speaker 2: other comics, other podcasters who were behind Trump, like Rogan
Speaker 2: and Vaughan and always. Now he's nothing but fat, fucking gay,
Speaker 2: progressive Long Island liberal and it's disgusting to hear the
Speaker 2: way he speaks. I'm done with him. I'm done done
Speaker 2: with Tim Dillon. Fuck him. Pam says that she and
Speaker 2: Liam kept things very pcy. She had her own room
Speaker 2: in his house in upstate New York. There was assistance there,
Speaker 2: both there since the assistance came. Excuse me, at this
Speaker 2: point in your lives, can you leave the fucking assistance?
Speaker 2: Can you just let them stay home? What do you
Speaker 2: need assistance for you two? You're not even forget grown ups.
Speaker 2: You're you're almost well, you're elderly, Pam, you're fifty eight, Liam,
Speaker 2: god knows, what is he seventy something? Stop with the assistants.
Speaker 2: Just get along. But Pam said that Liam would introduce
Speaker 2: her at dinner, as you know, at this little, tiny
Speaker 2: French restaurant, as the future missus Niesen. She spent time
Speaker 2: in his garden. She said she tended to a rose
Speaker 2: bush which was overgrown with mint a kid. First of all,
Speaker 2: this couldn't have happened this time of year because mint
Speaker 2: is not still growing overtaking roast bushes upstate New York
Speaker 2: in December. So maybe I got my timing loft. But
Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly when this happened. But mint is
Speaker 2: not taken over. I know I've had I grew up
Speaker 2: with mint in our backyard all the time. My father
Speaker 2: loved to pick mint and put it in genitonics. We
Speaker 2: put mint in our iced tea. We had mint. It
Speaker 2: grew wild, We threw it everywhere in the yard, front yard, backyard,
Speaker 2: side yard. But she said that after that week, she
Speaker 2: called it a lost week. They went their separate ways
Speaker 2: to work on other films, but they did connect while
Speaker 2: they were promoting The Naked Gun, and they were having fun,
Speaker 2: she admits. And she said she was laughing when people thought, oh,
Speaker 2: it's just a publicity's done the two and she' said no,
Speaker 2: it was not. This was real. We have real feelings.
Speaker 2: But now they say they're better friends. In full honesty,
Speaker 2: he is such a supporter of this new trajectory in
Speaker 2: my career and kindly tells me he's very proud of me.
Speaker 2: I'm sure we will always be in each other's lives.
Speaker 2: That's great. I can absolutely understand that the family was
Speaker 2: in my life. I wouldn't want to lose her either,
Speaker 2: But I can't say it enough. I don't need to
Speaker 2: see the blank palette that she keeps her face at now.
Speaker 2: I don't need to see it. It doesn't look good.
Speaker 2: And the bangs now, I'm sorry. No. People rooted for
Speaker 2: them to have more of a relationship, but pam says
Speaker 2: it just never came to be anything more. I guess
Speaker 2: she got tired of the heavy on bottle in his pants.
Speaker 2: As it's been described to me, he does have a
Speaker 2: special skill set and it begins below his belt. But
Speaker 2: here's my question, how come Liam Neeson still looks like
Speaker 2: Liam Neeson but Pamela Anderson looks like I don't know
Speaker 2: who she looks like, but not like her. That's what
Speaker 2: bothers me because I always lament the fact that she's
Speaker 2: the pin up in my life more than Farah. I mean,
Speaker 2: Parah was amazing, but you talk about a body and
Speaker 2: just a woman, you can't stop craving. It ain't Farah,
Speaker 2: it's Pamela Farah, beautiful wife material. Jacqueline has meant the
Speaker 2: same thing. Come on, pam Oh my god, she's the fantasy.
Speaker 2: Doesn't want to be the fantasy anymore anyhow. I hate
Speaker 2: to turn my horse toward a sad story. But James Vanderbeek,
Speaker 2: we all know James Varsity Blues, Dawson Creek. We'd always
Speaker 2: been sick with colorectal cancer. Apparently he sells a lot
Speaker 2: of merchandise. Member some months back he seld merchandise, and
Speaker 2: first cancer battle was merchandise from Dawson's Creek days. He
Speaker 2: raised forty seven thousand dollars in change, and he teamed
Speaker 2: up with some company that gave fans a chance to
Speaker 2: buy his memorabilia from that show. It was a live
Speaker 2: auction a few days ago. And the payday is going
Speaker 2: towards his cancer treatments for stage three colorectal cancer. I
Speaker 2: don't understand this because I know he was and probably
Speaker 2: still is wealthy. I know he's got Screen Actors Guild insurance.
Speaker 2: I don't understand what's going on, why he needs an
Speaker 2: extra fifty I don't understand it. Yeah, sag after is
Speaker 2: tremendous insurance. What's going on? If I'm a reporter and
Speaker 2: I'm writing this story, I have to get to the
Speaker 2: bottom of that. Do you not have insurance? What's happened
Speaker 2: to James Van Derbeek's insurance. No one's asked that question.
Speaker 2: It dries me crazy. He said, I was healthy, I
Speaker 2: was doing the cold plunge. I was an amazing cardiovascular shape,
Speaker 2: and then I had stage street cancer and I had
Speaker 2: no idea. That's That's the worst I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1: And you know what, A lot of us are gonna
Speaker 1: come to the same kind of point in our lives,
Speaker 1: the same fucking concrete wall where we might feel great,
Speaker 1: might be eating well and laughing like crazy, and there's
Speaker 1: that phone call.
Speaker 2: Four words. We found a lump, and then the real
Speaker 2: fight begins. And many of you who are listening have
Speaker 2: waged that battle, and my god, I admire all of
Speaker 2: you who've waged it. The price is auction. A prices
Speaker 2: item at this auction was a necklace that he gave
Speaker 2: to Katie Holmes on the show. It went for twenty
Speaker 2: six thousand and changed. I'm not trying to make fun. Thankfully,
Speaker 2: these people bought this merchandise to help him. Who the
Speaker 2: fuck has spent a twenty six thousand on a necklace
Speaker 2: that James Van Derbeek's character gave Katie Holmes character who
Speaker 2: has that kind of money to just blow? Do you
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be worth fifty grand one day, one
Speaker 2: hundred grand? I don't think so. I don't get it.
Speaker 2: There was a stuff from his bedroom on Dobson's Creek.
Speaker 2: An Et action figure went for six grand. A flower
Speaker 2: little shirt he wore went for twenty three hundred. Now, look,
Speaker 2: I don't understand it, and maybe I'll find out soon enough.
Speaker 2: It's got six kids. This poor bastard has six kids
Speaker 2: from fourteen to three years old. That breaks my heart.
Speaker 2: And he said he was storing these treasures for years,
Speaker 2: waiting for the right time to do something with them.
Speaker 2: And with all the recent unexpected twists and turns that
Speaker 2: life has presented, it's clear that the tide is now.
Speaker 2: It's very sad. I got to get to the bottom
Speaker 2: of it. It's so hard to watch him and other
Speaker 2: people go through this hell. And the other one that
Speaker 2: kills me is Eric Dane. That you know what, never
Speaker 2: a big fan of Gray's Anatomy where he played big steamy,
Speaker 2: you know, but I do like his acting. He's good
Speaker 2: on eph you. Now, this poor guy is sitting in
Speaker 2: a wheelchair with suffering from als only has the use
Speaker 2: of one arm now, and on top of that, his
Speaker 2: ex wife Rebecca Gayheart, somehow or another, has landed the
Speaker 2: billionaire co founder of the hard Rock Cafe, Peter Morton,
Speaker 2: who's a spry seventy eight years old. I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: round it off to eighty. I like to round up.
Speaker 2: He's fucking eighty. She's fifty four, and you know, here's
Speaker 2: her ex and they're close, they're tight, they got two daughters.
Speaker 2: He's locked into a wheelchair using one fucking arm, and
Speaker 2: she's out there in public making out, making out in
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills last week with this octogenarian. That's gotta suck.
Speaker 2: If you're Eric Dane, I know he wants the best
Speaker 2: for her and the kids, of course, But I'm a man, Okay,
Speaker 2: I can't fathom losing the life inside me. You lose
Speaker 2: your looks, your mobility, the fact that you can no
Speaker 2: longer work, only to see your wife making out with
Speaker 2: an eighty year old billionaire that has to suck somewhere
Speaker 2: deep in a man's heart. I don't care what you
Speaker 2: tell me. I was a perfectly able bodied man in
Speaker 2: my late thirties doing mysteries and scandals at the Knickerbocker hotel.
Speaker 2: We were doing. The show was the death of the
Speaker 2: model cup of Chin, who I think jumped from a
Speaker 2: window and landed on one of the awnings of the
Speaker 2: Knickerbocker and she was there for a day or two
Speaker 2: before they found her. And I remember, I'm in the
Speaker 2: law because I was in between shoots, and I just
Speaker 2: pick up a magazine and I see Kara and Donald
Speaker 2: Trump at some fucking Halloween party. He's wearing a flannel shirt,
Speaker 2: she's wearing a sexy dress, and I just it destroyed me.
Speaker 2: And here I am very able bodied, plenty of women
Speaker 2: around me, but it killed me. If you're Eric Dane
Speaker 2: and you can't move your body, you're one fiftieth of
Speaker 2: the man who used to be. You don't want to
Speaker 2: see pictures of your ex wife making out with a
Speaker 2: fucking billionaire. Come on, Rebecca, don't don't save that for
Speaker 2: inside the walls of a home. Don't do it in public.
Speaker 2: I think it's bullshit. These two had been together for
Speaker 2: two years, gay Heart and Morton. They went to the
Speaker 2: Battalian drunk Ebaldi. That's where you go to be seen.
Speaker 2: I'm sick of people doing shit like this and acting
Speaker 2: like we didn't know he'd be seen.
Speaker 3: We didn't know he'd be caught by Papa Rozzie. They
Speaker 3: always hang out of Eat Baldy, Spago, Craigs Nobu. There's
Speaker 3: certain places they just sit at in a wait just
Speaker 3: said full makeout session.
Speaker 2: That bothers me. They're still legally married, still legally married,
Speaker 2: but of course they dismissed their pending divorce last year
Speaker 2: weeks before he revealed he had als, which makes sense because, look,
Speaker 2: there's money at stake. Just in case the love affair
Speaker 2: with the octogenarian boyfriend doesn't work out. Rebecca is going
Speaker 2: to need some dope, right who knows. Look, I'm sure
Speaker 2: Eric is fine with that whole thing, because you know,
Speaker 2: you can't take your money with you and she is
Speaker 2: gonna raise your daughters. And the other side of the
Speaker 2: coin is it's probably better my daughters have a man
Speaker 2: in their lives that have has money for days and days.
Speaker 2: They don't have to worry about shit, So you know
Speaker 2: it's better she's not with some crackhead on the corner,
Speaker 2: but still it hurts. Guy's gotta use a wheelchair just
Speaker 2: you know, the last role he played with somebody with als.
Speaker 2: You can't do that two or three times. It's over.
Speaker 2: It's done, he's done. We're gonna wait for him to
Speaker 2: die like Christina Applegate. It's it's it's not good. The
Speaker 2: only good news about this is that the two of them,
Speaker 2: I guess they can stay a good graces together, want
Speaker 2: the best for each other, and that you know that
Speaker 2: makes sense. Look like last night, had the wife and
Speaker 2: the kids come over. Well, wife and roxy come by
Speaker 2: to finish decorating the tree. I threw it up the
Speaker 2: other day, but you know it needed a woman's touch.
Speaker 2: You know I love doing the tree, but you know
Speaker 2: I don't have the same energy I used to as
Speaker 2: a kid. It needed more, more stuff, and she came
Speaker 2: and made it look better. I cooked for everybody, made
Speaker 2: a bunch of fried chicken, string beans with pistachio nuts, butter,
Speaker 2: homemade garlic, mashed potatoes, cressingh cressing buns. What do you
Speaker 2: call those fucking things? You know, you know it was
Speaker 2: a nice, fun dinner. We all laughed. It was fun,
Speaker 2: lots of laughs, reminiscing cracking jokes. I even made a
Speaker 2: joke that, look, I'm gonna go to Chicago, you know,
Speaker 2: in a week or so, and maybe it'll be the
Speaker 2: first Christmas in years that there won't be a huge
Speaker 2: fight between us, because there's always a huge fight with
Speaker 2: me and Chris. I think it's because my mom, dad.
Speaker 2: I just the holiday gets to me. Always drama with me.
Speaker 2: It's my fault always, you know. Two years ago was
Speaker 2: maybe it was three years ago. Yeah, three years ago
Speaker 2: Jackie dragging my luggage outside of his apartment in the rain,
Speaker 2: you know, my laptop and there my podcast equipment. He
Speaker 2: was mad at me. I had to drive to his
Speaker 2: place to get it and fight with him in the street.
Speaker 2: Two years ago, outside the fucking motel. My wife came
Speaker 2: by with roxy and exchanged gifts. I put a little
Speaker 2: tree up in a motel room, some lights around the room,
Speaker 2: you know, to the best I could to make it christmasy.
Speaker 2: But you know, my anger got the best alcohol field
Speaker 2: of course, and she bought me a nice pan to
Speaker 2: cook with. But I was so upset because I wasn't
Speaker 2: able to cook so I did that. The sight of
Speaker 2: a pan made me insane, Like why would I need
Speaker 2: a pan if I live in a fucking motel. It's
Speaker 2: not her fault. In fact, she's probably thinking, well, you're
Speaker 2: gonna get out of here soon and cook again. But
Speaker 2: I just felt like, I don't want to see a
Speaker 2: fucking pan. Why you can buy me a heavy bag.
Speaker 2: I can't do nothing with that either, And I got
Speaker 2: mad and I threw it and it was a whole
Speaker 2: fucking thing. But you know, last night we laughed about it.
Speaker 2: We did. We laughed about things. We laugh about hardships.
Speaker 2: It's the best way to get over things. That's the
Speaker 2: way I've always been, you know, the other day we're
Speaker 2: not there every day. Every day I take rock a home.
Speaker 2: We get off the highway Metnia Boulevard in the one seventy,
Speaker 2: and there's always a guy. Could look. You could tell
Speaker 2: the guy was a good looking in his day. He's
Speaker 2: probably maybe seventy. Baby, he's on his ass, he's got
Speaker 2: a walker, he's homeless. It's just the same. And I've
Speaker 2: talked to him a few times. I always, you know,
Speaker 2: have rocco. Hear me talk to these guys. Get this
Speaker 2: story what happened to you? And I want him to
Speaker 2: understand how life can just quickly change for some people.
Speaker 2: This guy's not a drug addict, he's not that kind
Speaker 2: of person. He just his life went to shit. His
Speaker 2: wife died, he lost his business. It's a terrible story.
Speaker 2: I always give him a buck. And I said to Rocco,
Speaker 2: you know, it's a hard thing, you know, these people homelessness.
Speaker 2: You know, some people have springs in their brain that break.
Speaker 2: Some people go through horrible situations in life, they lose
Speaker 2: all their money. It just depends. But you know, it's
Speaker 2: you have to imagine what it's like to be homeless.
Speaker 2: And it was a beat in the car and Rocco said, well,
Speaker 2: we kind of know what that's like. And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right, we do. We've been there. You're right. See
Speaker 2: we laugh about it. We even laughed about it last night.
Speaker 2: That's part of our journey. Speaking of Vanderbeek selling off memorabilia,
Speaker 2: did I tell you this guy? Did I tell you this?
Speaker 2: A couple of days ago. I'm losing track because I
Speaker 2: can't follow the Patreon show on the Patreon app, so
Speaker 2: losing track, but I wanted to mention about memorabilia. Many
Speaker 2: many years ago, my uncle Sal was a He worked
Speaker 2: on the Ann Sullivan Show. He was a cameraman. He
Speaker 2: was there when the Beatles performed in nineteen sixty four,
Speaker 2: February ninth, nineteen sixty four. I was not even two
Speaker 2: years old yet. But there was a shot sheet. In
Speaker 2: other words, all the people performing on the show that day,
Speaker 2: what commercials were running. In fact, I do remember telling
Speaker 2: you this. The point is this Frank Gorshen, there was
Speaker 2: a comedy duo, all this kind of shit, and my
Speaker 2: uncle Sal got the four Beatles to sign the back
Speaker 2: of that shot He gave it to me. Well, it
Speaker 2: ended up in my possession. I don't even know he
Speaker 2: just he gave it to me. Put it in a
Speaker 2: jewelry box. And many years later, when I was in
Speaker 2: my twenties, my friend's brother, Ronnie's brother Glenn, was a crackhead,
Speaker 2: robbed us, burglarized our home, i should say, and emptied
Speaker 2: that jewelry box into a pillowcase. He didn't know there
Speaker 2: was a sheet of paper with the four Beetles signature
Speaker 2: on there on the back of an Ed Sullivan shot sheet.
Speaker 2: I looked it up. One of my patrons told me.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna want to know what that's worth if
Speaker 2: you still had it. It's between a half a million
Speaker 2: and a million dollars. Not even forget about when McCartney
Speaker 2: and Ringo Starr died. God knows what that would have
Speaker 2: been worth then, But it ended up in the garbage.
Speaker 2: That's a blown fortune. Oh my god. Why my mother
Speaker 2: and father didn't say, let's put this in a security box.
Speaker 2: You can't have this flying around because we didn't understand money.
Speaker 2: We just didn't understand the value of things like that. Unbelievable. Yeah, so,
Speaker 2: you know, I mean the whole memorabilia thing. I don't
Speaker 2: really understand that. I made jokes about somebody buy the
Speaker 2: costume for the movie l for three hundred and nineteen
Speaker 2: thousand the other day. I just don't get what these
Speaker 2: people are doing. But you know, God bless them. They
Speaker 2: think that they there's a big Actually, there was a
Speaker 2: big wall on the Ed Sullivan Show that some guy
Speaker 2: and the crew would have all these guests assigned the wall.
Speaker 2: I used to sign Joan Rivers wall. A lot of
Speaker 2: TV shows have a wall you sign and it's like
Speaker 2: four foot by two foot plastic wall. And this guy
Speaker 2: collected it. He has it. God knows what he paid,
Speaker 2: but the Beatles are on there. So many names are
Speaker 2: on there, that's going to be a fortune anyhow. Earlier
Speaker 2: today on the Relationships Is Ave Me, Mike and Arena
Speaker 2: talked about Tallis Swift and Travis Kelsey, the fact that
Speaker 2: the two of them have never had an argument. He
Speaker 2: says it over two years since they've been together. And
Speaker 2: I can believe that because they both had very busy lives.
Speaker 2: She was on an international tour making a billion dollars,
Speaker 2: also in the studio putting out another album. He was
Speaker 2: winning super Bowls. Not this year, though, because everything I
Speaker 2: said has come true. I said they'd fall apart. I said,
Speaker 2: mahomes have turned this shit, and I said Travis Kelsey
Speaker 2: will never be the man who used to be. And
Speaker 2: last week, oh my god boy, he bobbled the past.
Speaker 2: I would have put them in position to win. And
Speaker 2: by bobbling it, it was intercepted Casey Law. They now
Speaker 2: have a record of six wins and seven losses and
Speaker 2: they're in great peril of making the postseason. But if
Speaker 2: I'm Travis Kelsey, I'm telling my girlfriend you know, I
Speaker 2: don't care that Selena Gomez came Selena even though there's
Speaker 2: a dwarf for the family tree. She can look sexy sometimes.
Speaker 2: But don't bring Lena Dunham. We don't need Lena Donham
Speaker 2: in the skybox. No one wants to see her. Why
Speaker 2: bring Lena Dunham. The point is this, with these two,
Speaker 2: Travis and Taylor the inside word, there is supposed to
Speaker 2: be this big wedding in the off season. You've heard
Speaker 2: about it. They secured the hole in Rhode Island. They're
Speaker 2: gonna Taylor's fixing up her backyard to be magnificent, a
Speaker 2: million bucks worth of landscaping and flowers and it's gonna
Speaker 2: be crazy. But uh ire, things are a little tough now,
Speaker 2: which makes sense when you're planning a wedding, especially a
Speaker 2: wedding with a woman like her. She's got definite opinions.
Speaker 2: You know, she's been thinking of this wedding since she's
Speaker 2: five years old. Okay, there's no doubt that she didn't
Speaker 2: think of a wedding until she was twenty eighth. No,
Speaker 2: this is a five year old girl who's now about
Speaker 2: to have her perfect wedding to her football hero, and
Speaker 2: things are not well. There's been some problems. There's financial
Speaker 2: negotiations I've heard behind the scenes that have been pretty
Speaker 2: cold hearted. The word is that, believe it or not,
Speaker 2: Travis doesn't want to end his career on this shitty
Speaker 2: year and may want to play one more year and
Speaker 2: then get into broadcasting, which is a cushy job like
Speaker 2: Tony Romo had, like Tom Brady has. She doesn't want
Speaker 2: him to do that, any of it. She's against him
Speaker 2: playing again, and she even against the whole broadcasting thing,
Speaker 2: which I don't understand. What does she want him to do?
Speaker 2: Just carry her bags while she tours the world. That
Speaker 2: doesn't seem pretty, that doesn't seem cool. But here we go,
Speaker 2: Here we go. There's gonna be some problems before these
Speaker 2: two well, let's put it this way. My spody sense
Speaker 2: says there will be issues until their wedding day and
Speaker 2: once they're married. I'm not saying they'll break up. This
Speaker 2: is gonna be a good wedding, a good marriage for
Speaker 2: a while, but there's gonna be some bullshit leading up
Speaker 2: to it. And we're gonna have a ringside seat. That's
Speaker 2: all I'm waiting for. Not that I want it to fail.
Speaker 2: I don't. I think she's she's absolutely climbed up the
Speaker 2: charts in my uh, in my opinion about her looks
Speaker 2: and her sexuality. She stopped being like a teeny bopper
Speaker 2: sing and shake it off, and now there's like some
Speaker 2: depth and I don't I just think she's, if I
Speaker 2: could be blunt, she's getting laid right and she's become
Speaker 2: this woman that she wasn't before. So I'm not rooting
Speaker 2: against them, but I do think there's gonna be some issues,
Speaker 2: and there are some right now. Speaking of issues, don't
Speaker 2: don't be surprised if things get really ugly between Ariana
Speaker 2: Grande and her former ginger head boyfriend Ethan Slater that
Speaker 2: he looks like a guard gnome. I mean, well, she's adorable,
Speaker 2: but we all know that she needs about twenty five
Speaker 2: pounds on her frame. But otherwise she's adorable. Her voice
Speaker 2: is amazing, she's comedic. I like her a lot, but
Speaker 2: not the way she looks now, it's alarming. I think
Speaker 2: Cynthia Revo, her Wicked co star, has really gotten into her.
Speaker 2: And I think Cynthia Revo had a lot to do
Speaker 2: with pushing her toward dumping this ginger boyfriend of hers
Speaker 2: and this is a weird. This is tough because this guy,
Speaker 2: the Ariana Grande, busted up his marriage and now I'm
Speaker 2: sure his ex wife is laughing about this situation because
Speaker 2: she's not gonna take him back. And I don't know
Speaker 2: how many girls are on his ledger who's waiting to
Speaker 2: be with him. I don't see him being that kind
Speaker 2: of guy. I think a Revo is so overprotective of
Speaker 2: Ariana Grande that, at the slightest mention of any kind
Speaker 2: of dissension in her relationship with Ethan Slater. I think
Speaker 2: a Revo in her LGBTQ manner when ape shit and
Speaker 2: made sure that ended. It's my feeling. It's not based
Speaker 2: on anything I've read or a fact. It's just my
Speaker 2: gut and I want to end this show on something
Speaker 2: I heard that's I was laughing so hard the other
Speaker 2: morning when I had no sleep. I listened to the
Speaker 2: smartlest podcast What's his Name, Dak Shepherd's podcast Armchair Expert,
Speaker 2: and finally Colin O'Brien needs a Fred and he had
Speaker 2: Will Arnett on who I Love Will, And that's one
Speaker 2: of the three hosts of SmartLess. I love that show.
Speaker 2: I love our net car his sense of humor kills me.
Speaker 2: And he's on this season. This new movie coming out
Speaker 2: Cohol is this thing on with Laura Dern that I
Speaker 2: hear is like really great. He wrote it. It's supposed
Speaker 2: to be tremendous. I'm looking forward to seeing that. But
Speaker 2: I wanted to tell you what. I laughed like hell
Speaker 2: at and I could not go. I couldn't get any
Speaker 2: shut out. It was just too funny. A lot of
Speaker 2: people deal with grief in different ways. A lot of people,
Speaker 2: including myself and buddies of mine, we have dealt with
Speaker 2: the grief we felt that our parents have died or
Speaker 2: people close to us with making each other laugh and
Speaker 2: saying very inappropriate things that the funerals we attended. I
Speaker 2: told you what my buddy Mike Gallagher Godzilla had said
Speaker 2: when my father was dead and my cousin Raymond came,
Speaker 2: who was like an old hippie from Vietnam with a
Speaker 2: long beard, long hit like Duck Dynasty and you know,
Speaker 2: and Godzilla was like, we were very very sad, desponded.
Speaker 2: My father's there in the casket, and Mike came over
Speaker 2: to me and said, it's good to see the grateful dead.
Speaker 2: Came to see your dad's a funeral, you're just shit
Speaker 2: like that, Well, you can't help it. Laugh. My brother
Speaker 2: in law, Jack got the giggles at my mother's funeral
Speaker 2: because the person talking, the pastor priest whatever, had like
Speaker 2: a list and he kept calling a Willian instead of
Speaker 2: Lillian Willian and Jack couldn't handle it, so he left
Speaker 2: the church laughing. But people thought he was hysterical crying.
Speaker 2: He wasn't We all handle grief differently. So Colin O'Brien
Speaker 2: lost two parents of the span of two or three
Speaker 2: days last year, horrible. There's always been a thing between
Speaker 2: Colin O'Brien and the other host of Smartness who love
Speaker 2: his acting, Jason Bateman. Those two have a thing. It's
Speaker 2: a made up thing that they don't like each other.
Speaker 2: It's a thing they've concocted that It's been very funny.
Speaker 2: It all happened because of Look, there's two big Christmas
Speaker 2: parties in Hollywood, Aniston Jennifer Aniston's and Colin O'Brien's. They're
Speaker 2: very well attended affairs, and Bateman is best friends with Aniston,
Speaker 2: so he typically goes there and doesn't go to O'Brien's.
Speaker 2: But guys like well, Onnette, we'll go to both houses.
Speaker 2: Bateman for two years didn't do it, even though Colin
Speaker 2: invited him, and the third and fourth year Coen stopped
Speaker 2: inviting them. And that's where the rift is. It's friendly,
Speaker 2: but it's funny. So this is how brilliant it is
Speaker 2: to be to just have a handful of guys you
Speaker 2: could just be fucking great friends with and nothing gets
Speaker 2: in the way of a laugh because you'll love each
Speaker 2: other that much. This reminds you of things that we did.
Speaker 2: You know, my buddy Gate Kevin would call me and
Speaker 2: all seriousness, go, how do you get a five year
Speaker 2: old's handprints off your bed sheets? I had so much
Speaker 2: peanut butter and jelly on my pillowcases. This kid won't leave.
Speaker 2: Just pedophile jokes, stupid shit that if anybody heard it,
Speaker 2: and I have friends who've heard it and go, you
Speaker 2: guys are sick. I'm like, that's what we do. We
Speaker 2: just we say the worst things to each other. Anyhow,
Speaker 2: his father dies first, Conan is up in Boston. Will
Speaker 2: on that text them a day or two later and says,
Speaker 2: sorry about your dad, sending you love from my family
Speaker 2: to yours. Conan texts back thank you. Will to be honest,
Speaker 2: I blame Bateman and will on That writes back, it's
Speaker 2: not a terrible theory. Conan writes back, he killed my dad.
Speaker 2: This is a day after his father's death, and an
Speaker 2: old fantas Colin O'Brien said, my mother and father would
Speaker 2: have loved this kind of shit, and I understand it.
Speaker 2: I'm from those people. The next day, Jason Bateman since
Speaker 2: Colin O'Brien a text and says, our Nette tells me
Speaker 2: you're on to me and Coenan says, Bateman, do yourself
Speaker 2: a favor and turn yourself in. Two days after that,
Speaker 2: Conan's mother dies very unexpectedly. No one knew what was
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Will or Not sends him another text and
Speaker 2: says in a text, Bateman is asking for your sister's
Speaker 2: street address. Is it okay to give it? Come on?
Speaker 2: Conan writes back, oh, just seeing this now, six twenty
Speaker 2: five Boston Tree Department twelve, and tell Bateman to make
Speaker 2: it look like a robbery. I can't see. To me,
Speaker 2: that is such huge love between friends, because a big
Speaker 2: driving force in Colin O'Brien's life was making his parents laugh.
Speaker 2: A big force in my life was the fact that
Speaker 2: my mother and father told me you could do anything
Speaker 2: you want, and I set out to do just that.
Speaker 2: And that's why Conan got into comedy. That's why I
Speaker 2: got into what I got into, you know. And it
Speaker 2: got to a point where when his parents died, he thought,
Speaker 2: am I gonna still want to do comedy after my
Speaker 2: parents are gone? But of course he does. It just
Speaker 2: takes a different shape. I mean, look, it's just the
Speaker 2: way people handle things, like I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 2: To this day, Jack, who we all love, my brother
Speaker 2: in law, we all love him. The guy's pretty much better,
Speaker 2: and he'll come downstairs maybe once a day, but he
Speaker 2: spends his day and night in bed. And sometimes they'll
Speaker 2: say shit to Roselie and it's aggravating because he can't
Speaker 2: do anything. He's in bed. It's been a couple of
Speaker 2: years now, and you know, it's just Roselee is a dynamo.
Speaker 2: She's working, she's doing, she's cleaning, she's cooking, and he'll
Speaker 2: say things that just hiss her off. And she'll come
Speaker 2: down the stairs and look at me with this anger
Speaker 2: and her face and say, he's fucking driving me fucking crazy,
Speaker 2: and I would say sometimes, you know what, a little
Speaker 2: olive oil on the top step at night the troubles
Speaker 2: are over, think about it. I'm downstairs. Let me know
Speaker 2: if you're gonna handle it. Will we ever do it? No?
Speaker 2: But we laugh. That's how we cope. When you laugh
Speaker 2: amid heavy sorrow, it's not only normal, it's I think
Speaker 2: it's very powerful. I think it's a powerful way to
Speaker 2: heal because grief, those of us who have felt it,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure all of us have, it's very complex.
Speaker 2: Grief is a grief comes at you at all angles.
Speaker 2: It's it's multifaceted bullshit, it really is. It's not just
Speaker 2: being sad. It's a rollercoaster of feelings that you get angry,
Speaker 2: you feel guilty, you feel regret, sometimes you feel relief,
Speaker 2: sometimes you feel joy and laugh there just because you're laughing.
Speaker 2: It doesn't administer the fact that you love the person
Speaker 2: you lost. It's just the way it is. It's they're
Speaker 2: a testament to the way those people around them can
Speaker 2: still live and be resilient even though they're gone. It's
Speaker 2: what we need to do to stay strong. So you know,
Speaker 2: heavy time of year, you know we've all gone through loss,
Speaker 2: you know mine, I know some of yours, especially this
Speaker 2: time of year, Allow yourself to laugh without feeling guilty.
Speaker 2: You have to do that. It doesn't mean you're over it.
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean you don't care. It means you're trying
Speaker 2: to take care of yourself while you deal with this nonsense.
Speaker 2: There's an old Indian proverb that goes, I saw grief
Speaker 2: drinking a cup of sorrow and cold out. It tastes sweet,
Speaker 2: doesn't it? And grief answered, you caught me, and now
Speaker 2: you've ruined my business. How can I sell sorrow when
Speaker 2: you know it's sometimes a blessing? It certainly can be,
Speaker 2: even though it's impossible to imagine it. But when you're there,
Speaker 2: when you're going through it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And I guess that's what I want to impart on
Speaker 2: you folks before I split for the night and regroup
Speaker 2: and talk to you guys tomorrow. But hopefully you're out
Speaker 2: there doing your shopping, getting shit done and keeping your
Speaker 2: chin up. It's a rough time a year. It's a
Speaker 2: happy time a year, but a rough time of year.
Speaker 2: So my heart's with all you guys. I know yours
Speaker 2: is with mine as well, So that's it. That's your show.
Speaker 2: Don't forget. By the way, there's still time to get
Speaker 2: an Eric Javits hat. I just did that. I just
Speaker 2: went from grief and sorrow to Eric Javit. Why not?
Speaker 2: Why not? You guys have broken records with buying these hats.
