Speaker 1: From Workhouse Connect and aj benze fame. Uh, he'd liked
Speaker 1: to be walked on a leash and play really dirty,
Speaker 1: kinky sex games. Is uh the guy put the cock
Speaker 1: in the Peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody, aj Ben's
Speaker 1: here with fame, is it? Bitch? This is your daily
Speaker 1: Unfiltered podcast for April fifteenth, twenty twenty five. Oh four
Speaker 1: one five two oho two five. Hey, Hey, it's tax Day.
Speaker 1: Did all you guys prepare and file? Huh? I'm sure
Speaker 1: you're all good Americans and don't care in the least
Speaker 1: that so many of your dollars are going into the
Speaker 1: government's hands so that they can do whatever the hell
Speaker 1: they want to put those dollars back into the very
Speaker 1: important things we need to survive and thrive as people.
Speaker 1: So with that said, I wonder how many of you,
Speaker 1: across your lifetime sat across or your accountant tax and
Speaker 1: we're completely fine knowing that much of your money was
Speaker 1: going to foreign countries so that there could be bullshit
Speaker 1: experiments in DEI and political correctness and trends awareness conducted. Right.
Speaker 1: You know the old adage that you work for the
Speaker 1: government from January June and then whatever you make from
Speaker 1: July to December essentially goes to you. See it's pretty fair, right,
Speaker 1: of course it does. I told that to my kids
Speaker 1: about a year or so ago. They had no idea
Speaker 1: what I meant. Roxy got her first pay check probably
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, two years ago, and
Speaker 1: she was like, I can't believe much money they took out.
Speaker 1: It was only like forty five hours. And I go oh.
Speaker 1: Roxy waits and I explained to her, as if I'm
Speaker 1: some brainiac when it comes to taxes, I'm not, but
Speaker 1: we don't know. People don't know. I mean, grown ups know,
Speaker 1: but it's horrifying, especially when you find out what they've
Speaker 1: been doing with those dollars of hours. So I imagine
Speaker 1: you find that our government was apparently investing in pickleball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: recently it provided twelve million dollars, but twelve million dollar
Speaker 1: grant for a thirty court pickleball complex in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure those of you who live in I
Speaker 1: don't know, Missouri are very glad that you're paying for
Speaker 1: sports complexes in Nevada. That's not even that bad because
Speaker 1: there are people in other states that pay for shit
Speaker 1: that we use in our state. I understand that one
Speaker 1: love one country. Okay, great, but you want to know
Speaker 1: why sometimes paying taxes can sometimes literally be for the birds. Okay? Well,
Speaker 1: In another great example of wasteful government spending, the National
Speaker 1: Science Foundation has decided that the world of bird watching
Speaker 1: needs a dose of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and our
Speaker 1: government approved the grant for about three hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to create affinity groups within bird watching clubs to ensure
Speaker 1: that birdwatching communities are more inclusive. You know what it's
Speaker 1: like when you go look for whipperwills and the person
Speaker 1: next to you is not the person you think is
Speaker 1: diverse enough. Boy, that's a kick in the pants. Ain't
Speaker 1: it unbelievable. I don't know how long I said this,
Speaker 1: And I'm so happy we're all okay with giving our
Speaker 1: money to important causes like bird watching. If you're okay
Speaker 1: with that, then you have to be fine with twenty
Speaker 1: million dollars of our money going to the Fertilized Right
Speaker 1: Initiative that's to advance fertilizer use in exotic locales like Pakistan,
Speaker 1: or as Obama wants say, Pakistan, Vietnam, Columbia, and Brazil.
Speaker 1: There's so many more examples of our tax dollars going
Speaker 1: to very important causes close to our heart, such as
Speaker 1: a couple of million bucks to An's Dei in Serbia's
Speaker 1: workplaces and business communities, seventy thousand for the production of
Speaker 1: a Dei musical in Ireland, three million for electric vehicles
Speaker 1: in Vietnam, fifty grand for a transgender operating in Colombia.
Speaker 1: You've heard these before. I just thought, since it's tax day,
Speaker 1: we should really remember that two million dollars of our
Speaker 1: money went to sex changes and LGBT activism in Guatemala,
Speaker 1: six million bucks to fund tourism in Egypt, and ayhay, look,
Speaker 1: just wanted to remind you how lucky we all are
Speaker 1: to give away our tax dollars to such important causes. So,
Speaker 1: whether you've already filed or will be filing today or
Speaker 1: filed an extension, I just wanted to remind you that
Speaker 1: don't ever think paying taxes is done, especially when you
Speaker 1: consider what wonderful causes our money has gone to. Somebody
Speaker 1: fucking light my hair on fire and throw me out
Speaker 1: a window. And another example of what planet am I
Speaker 1: on A British boss, some guy in the UK he
Speaker 1: was a boss of a company. He couldn't believe what
Speaker 1: he saw. He was interviewing a gen Zer and this
Speaker 1: particular idiot on a zoom call a zoom interview, decided
Speaker 1: to look like a breakfast plate during this interview. So
Speaker 1: the guy's name is Aiden Kramer. He's the co founder
Speaker 1: of ai Apply, an app that uses AI to help
Speaker 1: workers write cover letters, polp fly for jobs and secure interviews.
Speaker 1: First of all, the boss shows up on the interview
Speaker 1: wearing in a white T shirt. That pissed me off,
Speaker 1: right there, don't complain about what someone else is doing
Speaker 1: if you're wearing a white fucking T shirt to an interview.
Speaker 1: Now that's put on a shirt, a shirt and tie,
Speaker 1: even white T shirt. Any other guys conducting this interview
Speaker 1: is on zoom with some gen zer and this person
Speaker 1: is using a filter to make her look like a
Speaker 1: breakfast plate during their interview. So the guy creamer things
Speaker 1: decess to be a mistake. He says, nice to meet you.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you know, but there's a bit
Speaker 1: of animation on your face. And the woman who you know,
Speaker 1: you can't identify because her face is covered by a
Speaker 1: plate with eggs and toast says, well, I'm not feeling
Speaker 1: well today, took a mental health day off, and I
Speaker 1: figured I use this filter. Of course, the guy has
Speaker 1: taken aback and he's stumbling through his words, and he
Speaker 1: tries to explain very calmly, why this woman can't remain
Speaker 1: anonymous or look like a breakfast plate during her job interview,
Speaker 1: and he very calmly says, listen, I'm not sure we're
Speaker 1: going to be able to continue. It's not very professional.
Speaker 1: Is there any chance or could turn it off right
Speaker 1: away right there? Could you imagine this happening in the
Speaker 1: seventies or eighties? Do you think one of our bosses
Speaker 1: would be this cam? The candidate then says, well, I
Speaker 1: can use a different filter if you want. The guy's like, no, no, don't,
Speaker 1: and then the person switches to a filter where she's
Speaker 1: a giant strawberry? Is this better? And that's where the
Speaker 1: clip ends. So I don't know. It's unclear what happened
Speaker 1: from there, but the boss posted on social media this
Speaker 1: whole thing with a picture of the stupid animation this
Speaker 1: girl used on a filter, got thirty thousand likes, probably
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand by now, And get this a lot
Speaker 1: of people who saw this came down on the boss
Speaker 1: for posting the video. Some people who were who are
Speaker 1: gen Zers, which is the worst generation of all time?
Speaker 1: And listen, if you have kids in that generation, as
Speaker 1: I do, what can we do? We're raising them right,
Speaker 1: it's everybody around them besides their parents, like us, who's
Speaker 1: fucking them up? The media, television application, everybody's fucked. Teachers
Speaker 1: are fucking them up. Sorry, this shit gets me because
Speaker 1: it's our children. I'm not gonna hire anybody again. I'm
Speaker 1: not applying for jobs to resume. Some thought the person
Speaker 1: who used the filter, well, she's just being amusing, she's
Speaker 1: being fun. Some people say, now that's crossing the line.
Speaker 1: But some were hung up on the fact that this
Speaker 1: guy recorded the interview and posted it on social media.
Speaker 1: You know, this is not normal behavior, and somebody commented
Speaker 1: an asked the guy do you normally have your phone
Speaker 1: out to record interview candidates? Is that professional? And the
Speaker 1: guy's like, how could I not? Which I completely understand.
Speaker 1: This is the same issue for people who have ridiculous
Speaker 1: body modifications and stupid neck tattoos or tattoos across their head.
Speaker 1: They do these stupid things and then they complain they
Speaker 1: can't find a job. We've all seen those kids and go, oh,
Speaker 1: that's where they can work. They can give you coffee
Speaker 1: in the morning, that's about it. They can work in
Speaker 1: a car garage. Sure, they can repossess your car, work
Speaker 1: on your truck. There's not many places they can go
Speaker 1: hand your shoes at a bowling alley. I don't I
Speaker 1: haven't bowled in twenty years. I don't know who are
Speaker 1: we handling the ball to once we get ready to split,
Speaker 1: who are these assholes? Just imagine counting on them in
Speaker 1: the event of another World War. I got news here
Speaker 1: they're not going. Let's move away from this insanity. But
Speaker 1: before I do, I want to point out a couple
Speaker 1: of things that really burn my ass. Okay, I got
Speaker 1: a couple of complaints about Instagram that, well, it's par
Speaker 1: for the course, you guys know that. But here's one
Speaker 1: I got complaints. And since there's now a meta whistleblower
Speaker 1: trying to prove that Mark Zuckerberg lied to Congress about
Speaker 1: his company's ties to China, was a big story coming
Speaker 1: down the pike this week. That's for the end of
Speaker 1: the week or for the next politics as witch. But
Speaker 1: in the meantime, I gotta mention a thing or two
Speaker 1: that I've picked up on that pisses me off. Have
Speaker 1: you guys noticed this? When you're scrolling on Instagram and
Speaker 1: you stop on a video or a post that you
Speaker 1: have to read that maybe moves you in a way
Speaker 1: or just it could be something like a fistfight in
Speaker 1: a bar, It could be a little donkey playing with
Speaker 1: a baby, whatever it is. If you go to the
Speaker 1: bottom of the page, Instagram casually mentions the name of
Speaker 1: one of your contexts who they believe might find that
Speaker 1: post as interesting as you do, and in so doing,
Speaker 1: they're pushing you to forward the post to this particular person. Now,
Speaker 1: that in itself is not that bad. If I want
Speaker 1: to show somebody of a of a rooster running toward
Speaker 1: its favorite and that's fine. But I've been keeping my
Speaker 1: eye on this creepy feature. And the other day I'm
Speaker 1: watching some video of a crazy anti Israeli protester in
Speaker 1: the streets of New York City and I'm really my
Speaker 1: blood's boiling. I hate when these mm fucking I don't
Speaker 1: you know, I get too, ma. I can't stand when
Speaker 1: you know anti Israelis scream into the face of cops
Speaker 1: and could them pigs and they've just got to stand
Speaker 1: there and take it. I could never have that job.
Speaker 1: I'd have the peppers free out and the Knights stick
Speaker 1: up their ass. Sorry, my pension's gone. I can't work
Speaker 1: this way, I can't live this way. So I'm watching
Speaker 1: this anti Israeli protester in the streets of New York
Speaker 1: and the bottom of the page brings up my friend's name,
Speaker 1: ZeVA Palmer. No big deal, right, except ZeVA is Jewish,
Speaker 1: and in some weird way, the jerk offs on Instagram,
Speaker 1: it's only natural that I should forward that message to her. Right,
Speaker 1: Not only that, it gets worse and even more creepy
Speaker 1: and downright route. I'm watching another Instagram video of a
Speaker 1: young black girl who can really sing. I mean, she's
Speaker 1: like wow, like a twelve year old Whitney Houston. And
Speaker 1: again Instagram suggests I should also send that video to ZeVA.
Speaker 1: Why this girl's not Jewish? Is it because ZeVA has
Speaker 1: a young daughter? I wish No, it's because ZeVA was
Speaker 1: married to a black man, like the great LaRue Palmer
Speaker 1: and the little shits and Instagram believe this should naturally
Speaker 1: go to her, and then Instagram does the same thing
Speaker 1: and suggests I should send the post to my dear
Speaker 1: friend Jiji Levangi, who was married to her black husband,
Speaker 1: the Great Chris Elise. This is nonsense. This is bullshit.
Speaker 1: It also happens whenever I see an Italian recipe or
Speaker 1: a five year old girl in Italy speaking animatedly with
Speaker 1: her hands and her parents, and Instagram says, hey, send
Speaker 1: this to your buddy John Monteforte. I'm sorry, this is bullshit.
Speaker 1: Now it's profiling. That it's profiling, and I listen, I
Speaker 1: know profiling happens everywhere, except, of course, when the police
Speaker 1: do it right. Because liberal fuckers like Zuckerberg, who I
Speaker 1: don't care how much money he gives to Trump never
Speaker 1: ever trust this puny shit. Pricks like him believe profiling.
Speaker 1: It's just fine if it advances their business model. But
Speaker 1: you're the police profile of black man. Shame on them.
Speaker 1: Defund the police. I'll send millions to help you defund them.
Speaker 1: This is wrong. I don't like it one bit, and
Speaker 1: I know most of what I'm talking about is just
Speaker 1: videos and Instagram like the ones that feature a shitsu
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I love the Shitsu videos naturally,
Speaker 1: and Zuckerberg's little elves pushed me to share it with
Speaker 1: Andrea because we have TOUTSI it's not right, it's intrusive,
Speaker 1: and I know you punks are looking on my shoulder
Speaker 1: every day all day, but don't make it so obvious. Idiots.
Speaker 1: We got to take them in the back room and
Speaker 1: give them a beat. You know, somebody forget who pardoned me.
Speaker 1: I think it was jo Leone sent me a video
Speaker 1: of an old guy in an Italian neighborhood talking about
Speaker 1: the old days and how yeah him off he was
Speaker 1: in the street. Yeah it was, you know they were.
Speaker 1: They were all over the streets of New York, certain neighborhood.
Speaker 1: They sat outside outside the social club. But you know what,
Speaker 1: there was no crime. And Rose they could tell you
Speaker 1: the same thing. She used to walk in Brooklyn at night,
Speaker 1: not too late. But everybody, all the all the tough
Speaker 1: guys and the gangsters knew who she was, who her
Speaker 1: father was, who her uncles were. They didn't They wouldn't
Speaker 1: let anybody fuck with kids like that in that capacity.
Speaker 1: They were good. The tough guy. Yes, they had their
Speaker 1: own business and they killed people. That's their own world.
Speaker 1: But they kept the neighborhood clean and safe. These pricks
Speaker 1: what they're doing here, I don't like it one bit.
Speaker 1: But this guy is complained, telling me how great things
Speaker 1: were back in the day, and he's right. We didn't
Speaker 1: have to deal with these little pussies who have gotten
Speaker 1: in our heads and made us think that. Oh, ain't
Speaker 1: know what you think. Any they're worse than criminals. I
Speaker 1: don't know a better word than offensive. It's icky to
Speaker 1: think that they're in our heads and they believe they
Speaker 1: know better than we do who we should forward a
Speaker 1: message to. I don't like it one bit. Anyhow. There
Speaker 1: have been strong rumors about that White Lotus show on
Speaker 1: HBO that just wrapped up. There were rumors last week
Speaker 1: about Walton Goggins and the female co star, Amy Lou Woods,
Speaker 1: that they struck up a love affair while spending seven
Speaker 1: months filming that series in Thailand. Seven months. That's tough.
Speaker 1: You can't even fly your family. I mean, you can
Speaker 1: fly your family out, but you're working so much. They're
Speaker 1: not gonna have a good time. It's sticky, sticky hot. No,
Speaker 1: It's that's tough. Anyhow, that's a that's a long time
Speaker 1: and romances happen on movie sets, and and and and
Speaker 1: TV shows forever, so naturally you have to spending that
Speaker 1: much time together. The story is the Room of the Strong.
Speaker 1: Rumor is Walton Goggins and Amy lou Wood, who played
Speaker 1: lovers on the show, you know, got very well acquainted
Speaker 1: and they there are people on the show who said
Speaker 1: they formed a bond way beyond co stars just memoring
Speaker 1: lines for their parts playing lovers. And then when the
Speaker 1: show rapped, suddenly both stars stop following each other on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Oh and now you know, I think we can say
Speaker 1: that they're officially could put because if romances are are
Speaker 1: deemed up and happening, when you post a picture on Instagram,
Speaker 1: you become Instagram official. Well, if you stop following each other,
Speaker 1: it's got to mean your relationship is done. Has somebody
Speaker 1: checked that Bianca Sensory is still following Kanye? I don't
Speaker 1: check Kanye's stuff. He's lost his mind. I feel like
Speaker 1: we're peering into the life of a really sick person
Speaker 1: and I've lost interest in doing it. It's so sad.
Speaker 1: It's beyond set. Him and Britney Spears ought to live
Speaker 1: together at this point. So in the way of Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Live spoofing that series, which I think was hysterical.
Speaker 1: I said this on yesterday's show, making fun of Amy
Speaker 1: Litwood's very famous buck teeth. Walton Goggins made sure everyone
Speaker 1: knew that he found a sketch hysterical, even though SNL
Speaker 1: producers apologized to the actress, he thought it was hysterical.
Speaker 1: He supported it. He said it was great. He said,
Speaker 1: you know, I loved it. You know, just all words
Speaker 1: that you know, superlatives. It was great, It was funny.
Speaker 1: And when he laughs at those big old now hear
Speaker 1: that buck teeth, they's got big old veneers shine like
Speaker 1: a diamond. I like him a lot. He's a good actor.
Speaker 1: He was great on the shield, great and justified. You
Speaker 1: know he's good. But yeah, Amulus pissed. Walton Goggins loved it.
Speaker 1: It's exact quote was ha ha ha ha ha ha amazy.
Speaker 1: He did erase it or deleted, I should say, but
Speaker 1: he did right smashing. And he also praised John Ham's
Speaker 1: portrayal of his character Rick, saying, hey, John, I knew
Speaker 1: I was miscast. I don't know. Some people found the
Speaker 1: sketch mean. I found it funny. I think this girl's teeth,
Speaker 1: as I've said, stand on their own. She's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: But I don't think she's ever gonna change those teeth
Speaker 1: because she's made it this far with him. Why fuck
Speaker 1: with success? Right? Are you sick of? Are you sick
Speaker 1: yet of seeing all these? Oh? You know what I
Speaker 1: got to talk to you guys about. I'll do it
Speaker 1: probably tomorrow. What the hell is this hold on? What
Speaker 1: is this? My answer, Ishie, my Rosie's answer is shoeing
Speaker 1: on crazy. I want to talk to you tomorrow about
Speaker 1: the director out here in Hollywood, James Tobak, who was
Speaker 1: one of the goons during the Me Too movement who
Speaker 1: really got hit hard, but the Horvey Weinstein story overshadowed
Speaker 1: anything this asshole did. James Toback had this whole creepy
Speaker 1: rap where he would follow girls in New York City
Speaker 1: in certain neighborhoods, and when they were young enough, he
Speaker 1: would deem it appropriate to approach them and tell them, Hey,
Speaker 1: would you like to read for a movie like the
Speaker 1: kind of shit we've heard growing up? Where people are
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember when I was picking up roxy
Speaker 1: from kindergarten and my wife at the time was I
Speaker 1: don't know, twenty feet away from me, and this creepy
Speaker 1: guy's talking to a given her a business card, and
Speaker 1: I finally met up with what was that about? Guy thinks,
Speaker 1: you know, I've got a certain look. He wants to
Speaker 1: be to read for from on the fucking street. What
Speaker 1: do you mean get rid of that? This guy's a
Speaker 1: noble You think real casting agents and producers walk the streets.
Speaker 1: That's out of school and go, hey, listen, you'd be
Speaker 1: great to read. Throw the garbage. But that's what this
Speaker 1: guy told back was doing. And when he got some
Speaker 1: of these gullible girls to walk into his apartment or
Speaker 1: hotel room and then he would proposition them and some
Speaker 1: really Julianne Moore, it happened to you twice. He did
Speaker 1: it once, she got rid of him. Then like two
Speaker 1: years later he approached it with the same rap, but
Speaker 1: she said, did you forget you already approached me. He
Speaker 1: became a joke. However, it was recently decided he needs
Speaker 1: to pay one point six billion with a B dollars
Speaker 1: to the women that he sexually abused. One point six
Speaker 1: billion sounds like an impossible amount of money to gather up,
Speaker 1: but hear now I bet your Harvey wins. He would
Speaker 1: rather try to find that money then spend the rest
Speaker 1: of his life in jail, Isn't it crazy? I know
Speaker 1: that industry had to be cleaned up and still needs
Speaker 1: to be cleaned up, But Jesus Christ one point six
Speaker 1: billion making an amount of money where someone can pay
Speaker 1: it and it ruins their life. If you make it
Speaker 1: that high, what thing's gonna happen? It was like O J. Simpsons.
Speaker 1: Did you think he would ever pay the Goldman's the
Speaker 1: amount of money they won in court? Of course not.
Speaker 1: You know what OJ was doing. You know what Kardashian
Speaker 1: and Robert Shapiro were doing. More Kardashian he needed money,
Speaker 1: And how do you smuggle memorabilia into prison so OJ
Speaker 1: can sign it and make money. You can't, So they
Speaker 1: would take in You know, you look at football's right,
Speaker 1: leather footballs. They're all put together in swaths of leather,
Speaker 1: each swaths, so, for lack of a better word, each
Speaker 1: piece of the football is sewn together until you have
Speaker 1: that beautiful spherical shape. Well, Shapiro or Kardashian whomever would
Speaker 1: bring those pieces into prison and OJ would autograph them
Speaker 1: all while they were having their meetings. Then they take
Speaker 1: him back constructive football and sell it. And that's how
Speaker 1: OJ made money. That money did not go to the Goldmans.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, give told back the kind of money that
Speaker 1: he has to pay back and destroy him, not a
Speaker 1: ridiculous amount of money that certain towns can't paignone a
Speaker 1: man who hasn't worked in twenty fucking years. Anyhow, I
Speaker 1: need some wader unbelievable. Ugh, I've been seeing pictures of
Speaker 1: all these hairfas celebrities at Coachella, the big music festival.
Speaker 1: By the way, I do want to mention this off
Speaker 1: topic for a second kind of off topic. I saw
Speaker 1: Lizzo on SNLLL the weekend. Like I've always said, she's
Speaker 1: got a very pretty face. When she loses the weight,
Speaker 1: she's gonna look great. She looked great on SNL. Feel thick.
Speaker 1: Still a thick woman, but that's okay. She's not out
Speaker 1: landishly morbidly obese to the point where her stomach was
Speaker 1: hanging over her vagina while she was naked in a
Speaker 1: hot tub stuffing donuts at a blender with ice cream.
Speaker 1: She's just now a thick woman and that's okay. Her
Speaker 1: face is very pretty. We all know she's talented. See
Speaker 1: there's no articles asking you how much better she feels.
Speaker 1: You can't do that. That means your anti fat. Let
Speaker 1: her say it on her own. What horseshit? So Lizzo's
Speaker 1: now losing weight, of course, on the help of one
Speaker 1: of those diabeta drugs. I don't care good for those people.
Speaker 1: But there's a new girl. I don't say new, there's
Speaker 1: a girl that's now in my horizon. Let's say Lowly Young.
Speaker 1: If you see this white slob, she's the newest thing
Speaker 1: that so many women can't get enough of. Lowly Young.
Speaker 1: She's a white girl about Lizzo's height and not as
Speaker 1: big as Lizlo used to be. But this one doesn't
Speaker 1: care how she looks in a mid drift shirt with
Speaker 1: her belly out shaking everywhere in the desert, and every woman,
Speaker 1: of course, and every liberal man is acting like this
Speaker 1: is great. She looks great. Twenty four years old, probably
Speaker 1: weighs two fifty. Okay, so Lizzo's figured out what she
Speaker 1: has to do. Lowly Young is next. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: keep harping on her. But again, you can't make fun
Speaker 1: of these people. You can't be critical of these people,
Speaker 1: because then you're anti woman, you're anti fat. I can't
Speaker 1: take it. So ywow, Coachella's going on right. I saw
Speaker 1: Para Sultan wor Enda's craziest outfit. Yes, I do think
Speaker 1: she's sexy, not with that stupid outfit. The woman's gonna
Speaker 1: be fifty in about four years, five years, whatever it is.
Speaker 1: Stop it. You got a kid at home, you're married,
Speaker 1: even though the guy's a schmuck and he's an accessory.
Speaker 1: Stay home. But no, she's out there in the heat,
Speaker 1: one hundred degree heat, dusty festival out in the desert
Speaker 1: in Indio, California. Just pay the Palm Springs. I saw
Speaker 1: a photo of someone who purchased five tortilla shells filled
Speaker 1: with steak, onions and salsa, a plate of nachos, and
Speaker 1: a lemonade for one hundred and two dollars. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you would think that. Since the price of admission to
Speaker 1: this hellscape for all three days is six hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty bucks and six hundred dollars for its second weekend,
Speaker 1: who has this kind of extra dough to go visit
Speaker 1: purgatory in Palm Springs. Let me tell you something I've
Speaker 1: been to Palm Springs many times actually got married there.
Speaker 1: I like it. It's beautiful if you can see the
Speaker 1: scenery beyond the thousands of gay men who stormed the
Speaker 1: streets every day. But my first trip there was a
Speaker 1: bit of a nightmare. Allow me to tell you. When
Speaker 1: I was in New York City, I remember just beginning
Speaker 1: the very big first few weeks of my gossip career,
Speaker 1: working at New York Newsday part time for Linda Stacy.
Speaker 1: And where do I go? Who do I know? Nobody?
Speaker 1: Where do I go? I don't know. There was this
Speaker 1: very in ultra chic celebrity hot spot on a little street,
Speaker 1: Ninth Street, called Cafe TOBECC two story, non descript building,
Speaker 1: but boy, oh boy, it was the center of the
Speaker 1: universe for the Hoy Poloy and all the fancy people
Speaker 1: in New York. I hated it right away because tobacc
Speaker 1: is short for tobacco. I hate smoking, and whenever I
Speaker 1: passed the place, all you could see was cigarette smoke
Speaker 1: hanging above people's heads and below the low hanging ceiling.
Speaker 1: It was like a nightmare for me. But I gotta
Speaker 1: get in. That's where all the stars are. Sorry, Poul
Speaker 1: private party, I heard that countless times. Eventually I get
Speaker 1: myself inside the small joint, which is packed, packed with
Speaker 1: every VIP of New York City, and beyond there was
Speaker 1: one thing to get past the doorman in the cafe.
Speaker 1: To bec beyond him, there was this set of black
Speaker 1: carpeted stairs that went straight up to the second floor,
Speaker 1: the all important second store. This was, for all intents
Speaker 1: and purposes, the stairway to heaven. To my left was
Speaker 1: the bar, and beyond the bar was a small restaurant.
Speaker 1: So I got inside, made a quick left. Now I
Speaker 1: can at least get to the bar, all right, order
Speaker 1: a drink, act like I know what I'm doing. What
Speaker 1: have I go next? I'm looking for people, looking for
Speaker 1: just trying to see the scenery, you know, like paint
Speaker 1: the picture in my head of who's here, who's doing what?
Speaker 1: And like I said, the restaurant beyond the bar, another
Speaker 1: whole battle. To get in there. You had to have
Speaker 1: a reservation, even if they are empty tables. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: sit you if your clothes were right, you know, real
Speaker 1: snobbish shit. And uh, no way I'm gonna get to
Speaker 1: that dining area. But the most exclusive part of this
Speaker 1: supper club was being able to get past the doorman
Speaker 1: who stood at the bottom of these long steps, which
Speaker 1: led to this even more exclusive room where every celebrity
Speaker 1: really let it all hang out. And after several visits
Speaker 1: there and hundreds of handshakes and meeting different people and
Speaker 1: various attempts to get to the second floor, they came
Speaker 1: that day when the velvet rope just opened. I guess
Speaker 1: they saw me enough, and I wasn't a bother, and
Speaker 1: I dressed right whatever it was, my new silver bracelets,
Speaker 1: my leather clogs, I don't know, but I got up.
Speaker 1: This is nineteen ninety, It's thirty five years ago. Jesus
Speaker 1: Christ of my had dinosaur thirty five years ago. They figured,
Speaker 1: let it in. We'll got some press from New York News.
Speaker 1: They go ahead. So the first night I climbed the
Speaker 1: stairs alone, which is the way I wanted about my
Speaker 1: business back then. In the beginning, I went out alone.
Speaker 1: Later on I went with girls that I took guys,
Speaker 1: and I took guys and girls. But in the beginning alone,
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe what I saw. Sounds shallow now, I understand,
Speaker 1: but I'm looking at supermodels making that with souper models,
Speaker 1: tippy top Hollywood stars getting hammered doing coke off the table,
Speaker 1: off their knives, off their wristwatches, actors, actresses, magnets, mobsters, millionaires,
Speaker 1: you name it. They were all there and letting it
Speaker 1: all hang out. But it was this one night that
Speaker 1: caught my eye immediately and catch anyone's eye. In the
Speaker 1: back of the room, along the windows which were blacked
Speaker 1: out by dark green velvet curtains. Right, I love them
Speaker 1: so much. I got them from my bedroom. My bedroom
Speaker 1: was aloft and there was no wall that separated my
Speaker 1: bedroom from the living room, so I used these big
Speaker 1: green velvet curtains with these big rumpes that I was insane.
Speaker 1: It was crazy in my room. But anyhow, I watched
Speaker 1: this beautiful girl dancing on the table with no top on,
Speaker 1: beautiful body, credible body, just a rigly, sexy mess of
Speaker 1: long blonde hair, and her tits are ound, small black
Speaker 1: mini skirt, tight black leather booths that went up to
Speaker 1: her knee. I couldn't take it. Come to find out,
Speaker 1: she was a penthouse pet named Samantha Phillips. And as
Speaker 1: the months and years went on, I'd see you more often,
Speaker 1: and because I got a lot of shit. And because
Speaker 1: I had a job that was the kind of job
Speaker 1: that would get her press, I was able to strike
Speaker 1: up a friendship with her. And that was easy back
Speaker 1: then because of my job. And look, I look decent,
Speaker 1: but I'm not stupid. It was easy when you could
Speaker 1: put someone's name or picture in a column and make
Speaker 1: them even more of a thing, more of a happening, right,
Speaker 1: And some people got very flat about that. Sometimes that
Speaker 1: turned a friendship into a romance. It was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. A few years later, Samantha moves to Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: and we stayed in touch with a phone call now
Speaker 1: and then. She'd give me information from LA for my
Speaker 1: column in New York. You know, she always knew what
Speaker 1: was going on in Los Angeles, so I liked to
Speaker 1: have it her out here as a source. And we
Speaker 1: never we would. They were physical in New York, not once.
Speaker 1: They didn't even kiss the New York Around nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: four or so, maybe three years later, I begin to
Speaker 1: fly to LA and spend the weekends at Robert Evans
Speaker 1: house in Beverly Hills. And one week and I'm in
Speaker 1: town and I'm still dating car Young by the way, right,
Speaker 1: so I wasn't cheating, but I didn't think it was
Speaker 1: a problem to agree to meet Sam. When she told
Speaker 1: me she was shooting the movie in Palm Springs and
Speaker 1: maybe I should drive out. I figured that's a good
Speaker 1: story for the column, and I don't mind being with Sam.
Speaker 1: She's easy on the eyes. Right. Obviously to her it
Speaker 1: meant we're having sex. And I knew in the back
Speaker 1: of my mind she probably is going to be open
Speaker 1: to this. But I still went because I'm strong. You
Speaker 1: can't make me have sex with you, right, guys. I went,
Speaker 1: and I took Evans Jaguar, which he rarely drove. I
Speaker 1: used to drive that car to pick up his Hamburgers
Speaker 1: at Hamburger Hamlet. He was very generous with the car.
Speaker 1: In that car was a cell phone right in the
Speaker 1: middle console. Pretty fancied back in that time. So he
Speaker 1: lets me borrow the car. I tell him what it's for.
Speaker 1: I have some fun, kid, bring back a story, which
Speaker 1: is that kind of thing. So I head out to
Speaker 1: the desert with a fucking map, not a map, but
Speaker 1: directions on a piece of paper, because I didn't know
Speaker 1: nothing about the highways in La. Right, the highways of
Speaker 1: LA are the way to Palm Springs may have been
Speaker 1: might as well have been the surface of the moon,
Speaker 1: you know, because I didn't know what kind of roads,
Speaker 1: and it was a little daunting. Okay, sure enough, I'd
Speaker 1: pull in to wherever it was, some motel movie set
Speaker 1: right next to it, and I see all these beautiful
Speaker 1: chicks walking around with the tops off, and I'm going Jesus,
Speaker 1: And then Sam pops out, Hi, honey, Hey, Hey, what
Speaker 1: the fuck? What's going on? And she tells me she's
Speaker 1: working on this movie. What kind of movies it? Oh,
Speaker 1: it's like a soft core porn thing for the Playboy channel.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I had no idea, didn't even ask her
Speaker 1: why she's out there, So of course I stick around.
Speaker 1: I watch some of the movie. I watch her scene
Speaker 1: with some dude, obviously no penetration, but very sexy. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: it kind of, you know, made my blood stir. And
Speaker 1: it looked obvious to everyone there that she and I
Speaker 1: were probably together. She's holding my hand as we walk
Speaker 1: to the craft service table, shit like that. And I
Speaker 1: didn't know this is how she felt. You know. There's
Speaker 1: always a thing guys, you know, like we may when
Speaker 1: we were younger, or maybe some of you guys who
Speaker 1: are single right now, we may want to go out
Speaker 1: and hope to get late. I think most men feel
Speaker 1: that way. Hey I'm gonna put on this outfit and
Speaker 1: splash on a look cologne, and you know, hey, I
Speaker 1: look good, maybe I'll get late. We never know. Girls
Speaker 1: are getting ready in the house with their other girlfriend
Speaker 1: on the phone, and they both know, oh, I'm fucking
Speaker 1: somebody tonight. They know because it's their body, their choice,
Speaker 1: they get to make that decision in their head. In
Speaker 1: other words, they're open to it. Guys are hoping, but
Speaker 1: women know. Okay, So I actually felt a little bit
Speaker 1: dirty or a little bit I didn't feel good about
Speaker 1: myself since I just left New York City and you know,
Speaker 1: I was still dating Car. But I played along because
Speaker 1: I'm a guy, or I was a young guy back then.
Speaker 1: Shooting ends, Everyone starts to light up a joint. Here
Speaker 1: comes the beers. Everybody's sitting around, literally sitting around a
Speaker 1: little fire, and they started and people are drinking beers,
Speaker 1: and she's sitting on my lap, and all these people
Speaker 1: are hanging out. You can see people who are going
Speaker 1: to mess around, peeling off and Okay, at some point,
Speaker 1: Sam says, let's go back to my room at this hotel,
Speaker 1: all right, And it was very obvious that what she
Speaker 1: wanted to do was about to take place. And look, look,
Speaker 1: God knows she was a beauty, and any man in
Speaker 1: my shoes would have went forward. But for the first
Speaker 1: time in my life, I just I couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: My conscious wouldn't let me do it. It didn't feel right.
Speaker 1: So obviously I'm not a dead man. We start kissing,
Speaker 1: and we're making out, and we're getting closer and closer
Speaker 1: to that point, and I just stop and I say, Sam,
Speaker 1: I don't think I can do this. Don't get man,
Speaker 1: don't get man. Please, I gotta go. What do you mean,
Speaker 1: Please stay? I can't. I just look, it's not you,
Speaker 1: it's me, that whole thing, you know, Is it because
Speaker 1: of the car? No, No, don't be silly, it's not.
Speaker 1: But we're hardly together, big lie. I just maybe we're
Speaker 1: going too fast. I don't know. She goes, I've never
Speaker 1: heard that from a guy. I listen. I know, believe me.
Speaker 1: I never thought i'd say it, but I just I
Speaker 1: gotta go. She starts to cry, not like sniffles, cry,
Speaker 1: I'm going come on. People are gonna heat, They're gons
Speaker 1: gonna beat you up. Stomp, stomp. I can't believe this.
Speaker 1: I was waiting for this, all right, all right, listen,
Speaker 1: it may happen again. It just can't happen. To please
Speaker 1: come down. I gotta get back in the road now.
Speaker 1: I'm like ninety minutes to two hours away from Beverly
Speaker 1: Hills back to Evan's house. I don't know the roads.
Speaker 1: It's getting dark. I hop in Evans Jaguar and I
Speaker 1: head back and I'm driving, and by the way, I'm
Speaker 1: several drinks into the night. Of course, shouldn't be behind
Speaker 1: the hill, not loaded. But obviously you get pulled over
Speaker 1: two or three drinks, they can write you up and
Speaker 1: pull you in twenty minutes in of course, in my
Speaker 1: rear view mirror, I see a cop car coming and
Speaker 1: the lights are on. I'm dead. I have no excuse.
Speaker 1: Where do you even go? Where's the jail out there?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Who's gonna bail me out? Have
Speaker 1: I got Evans car. It was a disaster. I don't
Speaker 1: know how this came to the front of my head,
Speaker 1: but I just passed an exit that I believe was
Speaker 1: called Indio Road. If my memory is correct, it was
Speaker 1: Indio Road or some shit like that.
Speaker 2: And this cop is coming fast up my ass. I'm
Speaker 2: in the middle lane. I want to go to the
Speaker 2: right land because then he thinks that I know I'm guilty.
Speaker 2: So I'm just going to the middle lane, going about sixty,
Speaker 2: staying of course. And what are you gonna do? AJ
Speaker 2: think thing, think? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Big shot? Evan's phone does it even work? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I picked the pharmp I called nine one one, and
Speaker 1: I get the operator on right away, and I tell
Speaker 1: this woman that I start to act very like, very scared.
Speaker 1: I go listen, do me a favorite. I'm on the
Speaker 1: I think it's the fifteen. I forget the road. I'm
Speaker 1: on the fifteen, leaving Palm Springs, heading back to town. There's
Speaker 1: a guy on the overpass at Indio Road who's pointing
Speaker 1: a shotgun or a rifle of people as they drive by.
Speaker 1: It just happened to me. Now boom she she hangs up.
Speaker 1: I'm still going sixty. I even press the gas a
Speaker 1: little more to separate me in the cup. I see
Speaker 1: him slow down and he gets off the road, hangs
Speaker 1: a U turn and goes tear assing back to the overpass,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, holy shit, I made it. I let
Speaker 1: out a sigh of relief on top of that. As
Speaker 1: I'm driving went through the desert, thinking I made it.
Speaker 1: I wasn't out of the woods yet. I see these
Speaker 1: little things running alongside the highway. Some even crossed the road.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they were, like rats with long wings,
Speaker 1: skinny chickens. I had no idea. I thought I was hallucinating.
Speaker 1: I took no drugs that oh, I took purpose, but
Speaker 1: still they don't make me hallucinate. Turns out they were
Speaker 1: road runners. I've never seen a road runner since the
Speaker 1: cartoons the Kid. Have you seen road runners? I bet
Speaker 1: many of you have. I never saw roaders in New
Speaker 1: York City. Flipped me out after that. I didn't fuck
Speaker 1: with Palm Springs for years. Eventually, Samantha and I laughed
Speaker 1: about that crazy night, and she completely understood. We stayed
Speaker 1: very good friends, friends with benefits. We eventually hooked up
Speaker 1: and certain things had to happen, and they did. Once
Speaker 1: I moved to La. She actually lived a mile away
Speaker 1: from in La, so it was a very common occurrent
Speaker 1: to go see her. We were so close that she
Speaker 1: asked me to stay over her house for two or
Speaker 1: three days and help her bathe because after she got
Speaker 1: her breast implants made bigger. Normal chores around the house
Speaker 1: were too painful for her to accomplish, and me, being
Speaker 1: a good friend, I cooked for, I cleaned for, I
Speaker 1: helped bathe her. Only in LA, kids only in LA.
Speaker 1: But be careful if you fuck with the desert. A
Speaker 1: lot of crazy things happen out there. There were demons,
Speaker 1: sexy girls, roadrunners, cops. Stay away. I'm aj Bens And
Speaker 1: that was your daily Unfiltered podcast for April fifteenth, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. And I'll talk to you tomorrow
