He had a pendent on his 13 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.200 neck that had a five on it. I just remember 14 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.960 stupid details like that. But we are in November, almost 15 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.119 a weekend. It's happening pretty quickly.

The Little People of America established US back 25 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.239 in twenty or nine because they wanted to share positive 26 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.959 stories and information about the lives of people with dwarfism. 27 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:52.760 Sometimes you can call it dwarfism. Dwarfism. Pride Month also 28 00:01:52.799 --> 00:02:00.000 includes International Dwarfism Awareness Day.

Why can I 39 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.439 talk right today? You know how I feel about great words, 40 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.120 and when they go together, it just makes oh, it 41 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.840 makes magic. Obviously, I have a ton of books that 42 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:54.479 I have in different parts of my house, and every 43 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.000 day I knew one turns up and I go, oh, yeah, 44 00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.719 I love this book. Shit. And now that rot tho 45 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.560 is looking to read and it's more interested in novels, 46 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.159 I'm really looking for stuff for him to read. I 47 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.919 came across this book by the great writer Rick Bragg. 48 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.599 Rick Bragg wrote a book called all Over but the 49 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.039 Shouting Oh, and then he wrote a book a follow 50 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:25.439 up called Ava's Man. Oh, It's so good. This guy 51 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.319 grew up in a deep South, kind of like a JD. 52 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.479 Van's story Appalachian foothills kind of shit. But listen to this, 53 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.479 by the way, a gang. If anybody out there thinks 54 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:42.159 the first sentence of your book doesn't matter, let me 55 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.039 give you his first sentence of his book. She was 56 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.800 old all my life period? Can you see her? Do 57 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:58.639 you understand where this story is gonna go? Six words? 58 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.759 Even when I was sitting in face, even when I 59 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:07.080 was sitting in the red dirt, fascinated with my own toes, 60 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.240 Ava's face had a line in it. For every hot 61 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.039 mile she ever walked, for every fit she ever threw. 62 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.040 Her hand was long and blackest crows streaked with white 63 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.920 in her eyes behind the ancient yellow glass of around 64 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.639 spectacles were pale, pale blue, almost silver. The blind have 65 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.120 eyes like that that color. But Ava could see fine. 66 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.000 Ava could see forever. She could tell you your fortune 67 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.240 by gazing into the dreads of your coffee cup, and 68 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.240 swore that at the bottoms of your feet, itch, you'd 69 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.720 walk on strange ground. She'd be gentle as a baby 70 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.439 bird and sweet as divinity candy. But if her prescription 71 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.160 was off, or if she got mad, she would sit 72 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.360 bolt upright in bed at three o'clock in the morning 73 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.959 and dog caused anyone who came to mind, including the dead. 74 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.560 Some days she would doze in a rocker and speak 75 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.879 softly the people that I cannot find even by looking 76 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.920 under the porch. Now I know, I was just listening 77 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:14.879 to her dreams. Excuse me, oh God, Yes, I like 78 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.160 to entertain on this show. I like to entertain and 79 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.279 and and give you information you can run with and 80 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.079 tell your friends. But things like that, we've got to 81 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:31.759 stop and pause and just go wow, how spectacular. Anyhow, 82 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:37.439 Welcome to the show. Today. It's an election day and 83 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.759 in our great country, and New York City is going 84 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.040 through it. It's going through it. They are this close 85 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:52.720 to awarding the mayor's position to an outright socialist. Uh 86 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.639 piece of shit, I'm sorry, a piece of shit Muslim 87 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:02.240 who can't stand Jews, can't stand Italians. He wanted a 88 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.920 Christopher Columbus statue. You've gone, hates cops. He wants to 89 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.560 fund the police. He's bringing up all sorts of shit 90 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.120 that he thinks he can do to New York City. Andy, 91 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.879 He's hours away from winning. Okay, this is where we're 92 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.519 at in this world. And by the way, this motherfucker 93 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.879 excuse my French. I know yesterday's show got I was 94 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.839 very emotional. I told you on the on the upswing 95 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.399 of the show that I had a couple of drinks 96 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.720 the night before, and that's why, you know I said 97 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.319 what I said. And I know maybe some of you 98 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.160 get disappointed when you hear that, and you go, oh, 99 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.800 aj fuck, why isn't he in a meeting? Why isn't 100 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.600 he a sponsor? I get all of it. I've done 101 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.639 very well without that whole thing. I'm not gonna call 102 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.199 it nonsense. It just it just never felt good to me. 103 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.480 Good enough. Put it that way. I've been to a 104 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.439 thousand meetings, not a thousand, been to one hundred meetings. 105 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.120 I get it, it's good. And then I just feel like, 106 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.199 why am I still sitting with these people and hearing 107 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.319 the same horrible, sob stories about why their lives were ruined. 108 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:04.959 I don't want to do this anymore. I want to 109 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.639 get out of this. That's just my personal thing. So yeah, 110 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.480 sometimes I drink and it's not good. Well I shouldn't 111 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.040 say it's not good. It just I bring it to you, 112 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.240 you know why, Because what's more important to me than 113 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.160 AA is that I have to answer to you, guys. 114 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.680 I have to answer to hundreds of you who care 115 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.079 about me and wonder about me. And when I'm able 116 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.920 to tell you the truth, it just it's such a 117 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.399 good feeling. And I want you to know that you, 118 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:37.399 guys are are a bigger help than any support group 119 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:41.120 you might think people need when it comes to alcoholism. 120 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:45.279 Whatever the fuck I'm serious. Okay, So you maybe get 121 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.560 disappointed for a day or two or three, whatever the 122 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.480 fuck I'm telling you. You mean so much to me 123 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.480 that I can come and tell you that goddamn truth. 124 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:59.639 That's it's invaluable. Anyhow, we got Zoran Mom, Donnie and 125 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.120 near a city. Who's gonna beat Cuomo and unfortunately gonna 126 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:06.720 be Curtis Sleever who oh, if I have my brothers, 127 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.600 Curtis would win. I'll get to that in a second. 128 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:16.800 But this asshole among other things, and I'm not gonna 129 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.519 spend more than a minute on this. It's politics, so 130 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.279 don't worry about it. There's plenty to talk about today. 131 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.160 But you know this guy wants free bus fair He's 132 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.279 telling everybody free buses in Manhattan. I don't know how 133 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.039 many of you have ever ridden a bus in Manhattan. I, 134 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.720 for one, only did it once. I forget even why. 135 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.879 It's a miserable existence. It's a horrible way to travel. 136 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:48.120 I mean, subways are good, they're fast, but getting down 137 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.279 there and being next to crazy people is scary. Cabs 138 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.639 takes so long, they're so expensive. You sit in traffic, 139 00:08:55.679 --> 00:09:00.879 you can walk faster. Typically the cab driver usually it 140 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.279 used to be that way before Giuliani came in and 141 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.519 cracked down. And what they carried in their trunk, what 142 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.519 they ate on their lap. Oh, big changes, big changes, 143 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.919 but uh, free bus fire. Let Let me enlighten anybody 144 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.320 who's thinking this could be a great thing. No, it's 145 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.600 not a great thing. You know why, guys, charging a 146 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.919 fare for a bus ride is what separates us from 147 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:32.679 the animals. It separates us from the Anamali. We can't 148 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:39.159 be around those people. Whatever culture you want to call it, black, white, Latin, 149 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.919 it doesn't matter. We have crazies in every culture in 150 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:48.879 New York on the prowl. But charging of fair meant that, well, 151 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.159 you can't go past the bus driver because you don't 152 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:55.960 have the money. And this country has been overrun with 153 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.360 animals from all sorts of shithole countries around the world, 154 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.159 far f fun places you and I would never even 155 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.759 dream of going to. We wouldn't. I wouldn't even look 156 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.440 at a catalog of that country, let alone live there. 157 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:14.559 But people jump on buses because there's no fear that. 158 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:20.159 They're typically homeless people, or drug addicts or maniacs, troublemakers 159 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.840 looking for an easy mark. Yes, sometimes they want to 160 00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:26.639 escape the brutal cold of New York City at night. 161 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:32.360 Understandable they do that in Penn Station and Grand Central Station. 162 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.200 They sleep on the Giuliani fix that as well. I 163 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.320 used to step over to Well, we call them bums 164 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.360 back then. I think that word's got to come back 165 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.559 because people need to know that you're a bump. You're 166 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.360 a bump. You're not housing challenged, Okay, you're not homeless. 167 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:51.600 You're a fucking bum because you stop working, you take drugs, 168 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.440 you get drunk every fucking day, you rob people. You're 169 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.639 a bum. Can we bring that back? Can we bring 170 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.840 that word back? And schoolyard bullies, can they make another appearance? 171 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.879 Because people need to know what the fuck they're doing 172 00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:10.320 wrong in life. And it takes a bully to tell 173 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:14.960 a kid you're doing it wrong. Fuck you. It just 174 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:19.759 takes a schoolyard fight. So much can change in your 175 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.919 life in a great way. You have not you have face. 176 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.200 Look hit you the jaw, your teeth, hurt, your ears ache, 177 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.679 I get it. I've been punched. It sucks, you get 178 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.679 over it, but you know it sticks the lesson. The 179 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:34.759 lesson sticks in your head and you'll never not see 180 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:38.240 that guy's face who punched you because he drilled in 181 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:42.159 a message into your head. Very important. These are big 182 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:46.080 moments in life. You can take that away from from people. 183 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.480 Jesus Christ. People jump on buses to escape the cold, 184 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:57.840 to to have withdrawals from their drugs and just to 185 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.679 cause shit and try to find somebody to rock. And 186 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.480 as they're laying sitting on those bus seats and they're 187 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:06.159 starting to get warm. Now they've been traveling for thirty 188 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.440 forty fifty minutes. Now they're looking to get you. They're 189 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.240 looking out jack you for your money, for your bag, 190 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.080 for your phone, whatever the hell it is. You cannot 191 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:19.360 have free buses in Manhattan. There's just one little angle 192 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:24.120 about Zoran mom Donnie, that is impossible. And like I said, 193 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:25.759 I think I said that yesterday. Maybe I did, but 194 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:30.480 I'll tell you now, this motherfucker has never it's never 195 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:32.919 been an American flag. And any one of his adverts 196 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.799 I read that. I can't sit here and say that. 197 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.000 I looked at every advertisement. I don't know, but I 198 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.720 read it in two different places. And if that's the 199 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.159 case in New York City, what the fuck are you doing? 200 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.159 And all you young people who think this is the 201 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.080 new way to go, we want this. Oh, he's going 202 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:53.919 to be great. I see people like stupid Nandy Petink, 203 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.519 you know I never liked, can't stand him. Thinks he's 204 00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:59.960 a singer. He sounds like my answer in two parts, 205 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.759 saying him and his wife. We are supporting Zoran with 206 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.679 this is the man for New York. I can't believe 207 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:11.519 what I'm seeing. But you know what New York have 208 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.320 at it? You got yourself a Muslim whose father and 209 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.559 grandfather I'm sure had sex with goats in the hills 210 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.440 of some piece of shit country. They're from Uganda. What 211 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:25.360 have you? We got a guy who's thirty six who's 212 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:30.759 never really had a job, okay, and and from you Gonda, 213 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.399 and he's gonna tell New York City how to live. 214 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.320 And I know Curtis Sleever gets a lot of shit. 215 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.799 Most of you have no idea Curtis Sleeber. You know 216 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.200 Andrew Cuomo because he's got the name and he was around. 217 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.639 He got blamed for old people dying and nursing comes 218 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.879 during COVID. He's a piece of shit. I told you 219 00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:52.120 him and his brother Chris Clomo the biggest phony Italians 220 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.639 in the world. I was proved right. One lost a job, 221 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:59.080 the other one got fucking thrown out. Just I'm always 222 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:03.879 right when it comes Italians and how they act and 223 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.360 if they're real or not. They're not. But I'll tell 224 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:13.080 you right now, Curtisliva, most of you don't know. Back 225 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.039 in the I'm gonna say late seventies, this fucking guy 226 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.080 was working the night shift and either a McDonald's or 227 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.240 a Burger King in the Bronx an overnight shift. Do 228 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.039 you have any idea what that's like? Do you have 229 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.440 any idea what it's like? I don't know where you live. 230 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.480 You can live in a great, little, beautiful community and yeah, 231 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:33.840 you get to McDonald's or a Burger King or White 232 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:38.879 Castle and it's fine. There's no problem in the Bronx overnight. 233 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.159 Curtis Sliva is man in the fry machine. He's given 234 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:45.480 out burgers. He's got a crew of four or five 235 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.679 people he works with, nobody decides to do. Crime was 236 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.360 so rampan in New York. This is what I really was, 237 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.159 deciding what I want to do with my life. And 238 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.799 I remember seeing crime and drugs everywhere. And I would 239 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:02.399 go to Manhattan and just I was enchanted by the danger, 240 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.840 enchanted by seeing bums and people with hypodermic needles in 241 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:09.799 their toes and in their arms, fast asleep on a stoop. 242 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.000 I just thought, oh my god, this is so scary. 243 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.279 I want to be in this horror movie. I want 244 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:16.799 to be here. I want to write about it. I 245 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.200 want to be next to these people. I couldn't take it. 246 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.720 It was such a pull. Get out of Long Island, 247 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.759 leave the safe harbors of Long Island and get to 248 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:29.159 the city where it's dirty and mean and dangerous. Get 249 00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:32.559 there and tell some stories. And that's a Curtis sleep 250 00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:35.360 with it. Back then, it was so nasty and dark 251 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.600 and dangerous. He motivated him and a few of his 252 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.679 people he worked with to ride the subways at night 253 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:46.039 with t shirts that said Guardian Angels and Red Berets. 254 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.399 I know it kind of looks silly that he's still 255 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.759 wearing the red beret. And he's probably close to seventy 256 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.600 right now. I'm sixty three. Curtis has to be I 257 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.080 want to say, sixty eight, sixty nine, whatever the hell 258 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.759 he is, maybe older, I don't know. He was married 259 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.960 to a beautiful woman named Lisa sleeve Was. She was 260 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:06.080 also a Guardian Angel. I ended up dating her after 261 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.360 they divorced, so I know a lot about Curtis. She 262 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:12.559 always spoke very highly of him, and is his determination 263 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:16.279 to make New York a better place. Him and his 264 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:20.600 friends and Lisa would ride the subway at God awful hours, 265 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:27.080 armed with nothing, but they're berets to make sure people 266 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:32.480 got to their designated spots without getting hurt. Jack robbed, mummed. 267 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:36.360 That's the kind of guy you want to run the 268 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.559 city because he loves it so much. But it's too late. 269 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.519 He's not gonna win, and his fucking Muslim is gonna win. 270 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.679 And I'll tell you right now, if you think you 271 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:50.080 haven't heard the Muslim call for prayer often enough, get 272 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.240 ready in New York. Oh, it's gonna be playing five 273 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.759 times a fucking day. And while you're at it, by 274 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:58.320 yourself a small piece of carpet and try to find 275 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:00.799 where the mosque is, is an east west, whatever the 276 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:08.200 fuck they pray? Get ready, Never forget nine to eleven. Never, Oh, 277 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:10.720 you forgot it. You forgot it, because now you've got 278 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.880 a Muslim's gonna run the fucking city. You forgot it 279 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:19.680 makes me sick. On a different topic, I thought of 280 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.720 something this morning that I just thought it laughing. So 281 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:29.359 remember water Picks. Remember there was a No one has 282 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.920 a show like this. Nobody goes from the passionate plea 283 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:35.920 of a Muslim running New York to the memory of 284 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:42.240 water Picks in our bathtost But do you remember you remember, like, oh, hey, 285 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.240 there's a new thing. It's a water pick. What does 286 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.559 it mean. Well, you take this toothbrush type thing and 287 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.559 you fill it up with water in this machine that 288 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:53.640 sits in your bathroom. It was like a twelve inch 289 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.559 machine maybe seven inches high, and had water and a 290 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.680 bunch of different picks, and the pick was attached to 291 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:05.319 a wire and you squirk water in between your teeth. 292 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:08.599 This is before dental flows, and water would fly everywhere 293 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:10.960 in your bedroom, hit the mirror, hit the sink, hit 294 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.359 the floor, but you left going it. Ooh, my teeth 295 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.279 feels so fresh, my ass fresh. It was the stupidest 296 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.599 invention ever. I don't know why I threw to the 297 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:26.599 water picks, how bad, because I started thinking about, you know, 298 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.279 me with memories, and I love the memory of my youth, 299 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:32.680 and I just love that. And you think about like, 300 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.920 I remember one day, I very rarely have a beer, 301 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.519 but I think I was at Rosalies years ago and hot, 302 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.119 hot day, cold cold beer. Yeah, ma, have a beer, 303 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.519 and I drank it. And after it was over, I 304 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.240 had the long neck corona to my nose and I 305 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:52.799 smelled inside the bottle. You know what happened to me, 306 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.279 not while I was drinking it, but when I smelled 307 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.960 the inside of that bottle. So many high school men 308 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.599 memories came back because so many of them are tied 309 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:08.319 to the smell of beer. You know, all the fun, crazy, silly, 310 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:14.079 wild times we had, typically beer was involved. And it's 311 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.000 amazing what your sense of smell can do to your 312 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:21.119 brain to bring you back to that era. Like I 313 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.359 was cleaning the bathtub the other day and I, you know, 314 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.119 I throw ajax in there. And let me tell you, 315 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.440 the best way to clean your bathtub, believe it or not, 316 00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:34.160 used Dawn dish soap. Now a Now, I'm telling you, 317 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:38.079 Dawn Dish shall on a bathtub is fantastic. But I 318 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:40.799 drew comment in there and I'm scrubbing it, and I 319 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:44.720 smelled it a Jackson the Comet at the Comet, and 320 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:47.119 I drew a little bleach in the water, and you 321 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.680 know what it brought me back to. It brought me 322 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.279 back to New York City very late at night when 323 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.720 we used to go see the Hookers, and we'd stop 324 00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:58.319 into show World, which was a big kind of a 325 00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:03.200 place in Tire I'm square where you walk in and 326 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.880 you put a dollar into these machines and see stag films. 327 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.000 They were called stag film. You guys don't even know 328 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.920 what that is. Most of you little porto shorts. And 329 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:16.519 you go in this booth and a place called show World. 330 00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:19.440 You'd go in a booth and I think it was 331 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.880 a buck. You put a buck in and you'd sit 332 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.440 down on this ugly stool and this the wall you 333 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.519 were looking at, would open up. It would go up, 334 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.000 and now you're looking into this room the size of 335 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:35.759 a modern day living room. You know, I don't know, 336 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:39.799 fifteen by fifteen foot eleven the fuck it was round, 337 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.200 and there were girls there laying down, touching themselves, rubbing 338 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.920 their bodies, you know, moaning, writhing, and they'd come to 339 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.720 your window and talk to you. And you're a sixteen 340 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:54.759 seventeen year old kid. It's very daunting. It's scary, like well, 341 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:59.119 then a sayless girl. You know, I can't remember what 342 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.200 I said, but these girls knew we were kids, and 343 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.319 they try to get more money out of us. Oh, 344 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.079 if you put more money in, why do you see 345 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.480 what I do? And next time, and then after like 346 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.200 talking to them for a minute, the door would slam 347 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.200 shut you couldn't see them anymore, and you're like, no, no, 348 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.599 I gotta give me a CHEEKO, give me another dollar. 349 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.160 I'm out. Come on, Kenny, you got a dollar, I 350 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:20.960 gotta And you put it on a dollar and the 351 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.400 door would open up and she's there again talking to you. 352 00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.400 It was insane. It was like speed dating with whores. 353 00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:29.720 Not that we'd never be with them or walk away 354 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.559 with them, but that was their chop. And it smelled 355 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:39.119 in those little rooms of Clorox and bleach because I 356 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.920 remember seeing the guys come around with their bucket and 357 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:46.279 the mop, because older men would masturbate in those little 358 00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:49.079 rooms and just let it fly on the floor. Oh 359 00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:56.519 it was horrible, but what a right of passage? Ah, guys, 360 00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:59.640 who does shows like this? I don't think anybody.
