Uh, he'd liked 2 00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.119 to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, 3 00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.839 kinky sex games. He's the guy put the cock in 4 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:17.600 the Peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody AJ Benzy here 5 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.199 with fame is a bitch. This is your daily Unfiltered 6 00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:25.280 podcast for February fourth, twenty twenty six. Two four two 7 00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.879 two six. A lot of nice even numbers there. That 8 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.200 always makes me feel good, and boy do I need 9 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.240 to feel good? Still kind of in I'm still kind 10 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.079 of in a malaise. I gotta be honest with you. 11 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.439 I don't know. I'm not gonna make a habit of it, 12 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.000 but something if you saw me, I haven't shaved in 13 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:53.840 about a week and a half, I look beastly. I 14 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.079 did look in the mirror today, which I rarely do, 15 00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.240 and I was like, Jesus Christ, AJ cleaning yourself up. 16 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:07.319 My god, I'll get there. I'll do it. But you know, 17 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:13.280 we always talk about death coming in threes. We lost 18 00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:18.480 Katherine O'Hara. Great, what a funny actress. She was such 19 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.200 a fan of us on SCTV back in the day 20 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.040 with Eugene Levy and John Candy and all those other folks. 21 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.200 And then on the studio with Seth Rogen Great and 22 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.959 Shit's Creak with Eugene lef What a great show that 23 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.000 was to get in a lot of years. Just amazing. 24 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.760 Loved her, loved her. She just her face alone would 25 00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:41.640 make me laugh without even saying anything. I would just 26 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:46.680 laugh looking at her face. So we lose her, I 27 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.400 would imagine we're losing Savannah Guthrie's mother. That doesn't seem good. 28 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.640 I think unless something broke just now, taken from her house, 29 00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:01.760 taken from being asleep, it's not good. I'm sure she's dead. 30 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:06.719 That's two. And then it got the great Chuck Negron, 31 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.000 one of the co founders of the rock band Three 32 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.080 Dog Knight eighty three years old, lived a long life, 33 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.319 was sick for many years. He also has one of 34 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.159 the best memoirs to ever read about how crazy his 35 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.360 life was with drugs and alcohol and women. It's an 36 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.560 amazing read. But yeah, he died in studio City, Shitsville, 37 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.960 right around the corner from me. Heart failure in the 38 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.680 months leading up to his death chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 39 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.800 Jesus Christ, there's so much shit out there that people 40 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.319 suffer from. I can't take it. But I remember being 41 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.680 in the sixth grade in chorus, or some people called 42 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.919 the glee club. But yeah, I went off. I sang 43 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.080 in chorus and the song we sang for our parents 44 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.159 at the auditorium was joy to the World. I mean 45 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.199 as a kid to say. 46 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.719 Jeremiah was a bullfrog Boom Boom was a good friend 47 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:06.360 of mine. 48 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:12.280 Never understood those single word, he said. Their lyrics, the 49 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.039 lyrics on three Dog Night are amazing. I mean joy 50 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.000 to the world. One is the loneliest number that you 51 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:25.840 ever do. Killer. A child is black, a child is white. 52 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:30.400 Together they learned to read and write. It's a beautiful side. 53 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.840 But my favorite is Mama told me not to come. 54 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.439 Oh god, well, now I used to come on the radio. 55 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.879 You know I stayed well, I didn't say. I was 56 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.719 friends with my next doname by the Rositos of a 57 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.000 five girls and a boy. So there was plenty of 58 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.879 things to do and play, and a lot of times 59 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:51.840 we just sat in their van. They had this like 60 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.120 camper van. They were going road trips and we would 61 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:56.599 sit in the van and make believe we're on a 62 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.840 road trip. We were young, ten eleven years old, and 63 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.400 and then the flashlight tag and and kickball, and we 64 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:11.120 did everything together. And I remember when that song came out, 65 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.319 Mama told me not to come. We couldn't get to 66 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.920 the radio quick enough to turn it on. Those lyrics, 67 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.279 want some whiskey in your water, sugar in your tea? 68 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.000 What's all these crazy questions you're asking me? 69 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.000 Come on, Who's what the what? This is the craziest 70 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.319 party I ever could see. Don't turn on the lights 71 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.639 because I don't want to see. Mama told me not 72 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.199 to go. I don't really know where those lyrics come from. 73 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.879 Where did they come from? Want some whiskey in your water, 74 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:47.399 sugaring your tea, brilliant, brilliant. And of course the next verse, uh, 75 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:52.360 what the hell this room smells of stale perfume. Open 76 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.480 up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath. I 77 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:55.839 just they were amazing. 78 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.680 Those are the kind of white guys that had a 79 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.040 lot of black a lot of blackness them. You know, 80 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.240 there's some white guys that got blackness in them. You know, 81 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.639 you could hear it in their voice. You just you 82 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.759 sense the rhythm, you just see it. I'm one of 83 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.160 those guys that's why I could jive with all the 84 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.920 black guys at the after hours clubs, the gangsters, the killers, 85 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.600 the robbers. They took me in, and not only took 86 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.000 me in, they made sure I didn't come there too 87 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.519 often because they cared about me. Hey, man, you got 88 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.480 you got a second shot. Motherfucker, go home, man, go home, bitch. 89 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.439 I wanted to be here with these dangss. Motherfucker, I 90 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.920 want to be here now. No man got to fuck home. Man, 91 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.240 go be with your wife. Nigga. Good guys. I can't 92 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.680 say bad things about them. They did bad things, but 93 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.360 then again, so have I. Well, we're gonna do judge 94 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.720 everybody right now. But if you did bad things, that's 95 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:50.240 just life. Things happened. Dobi and mouse my two after 96 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:57.040 hours buddies. They're both gone. And I remember a mouse 97 00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:02.600 Trap was on Sweet Sir and Third Street, and uh, 98 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.519 if there was a yellow light on, that meant it 99 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.160 was open, and you had to go around the corner 100 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.519 and go through the gate and he would let you in, 101 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.759 or he'd stand outside of the street with his dodger 102 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.439 jacket on, his blue satin dodger jacket and his ball cap. 103 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.959 He was like six six. Mouse Trap he played college basketball, 104 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.120 and uh, I would get in there first. I made 105 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.519 it my I made it my point to get there 106 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.000 first every night, two o'clock on the on the button, 107 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.680 and I just had to run to the jukebox and 108 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.120 play all that great all those great songs I learned 109 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.680 from Soul Train. No American bandstand not when you're unhappy. 110 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.600 When you're unhappy today, the things I've happened, we're to 111 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.279 drop shot the fuck up. I want soul trade. That 112 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.839 was the ship sitting in front of my TV eating Dorito's. 113 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:56.160 Remember Dorito The first flavor with Dorito's was taco flavor. 114 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.519 They kind of brought it back recently. Dorito's and a 115 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.759 big jug of Deer Park spring water. Why I don't know, 116 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.439 but I remember I'd eat so many Doritos I get. 117 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.519 The bottle had like my mouth prints on it of 118 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.319 Dorrito juice or Doriedo dust. It was my water. No 119 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.839 one else drank it, but man, I couldn't get enough 120 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:22.720 of that shit. The dance, the dancing, and it's a 121 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.800 great time, What a great time to be alive. But yeah, 122 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.040 maybe this is the third one. I don't know. Chuck, 123 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:41.160 Katherine O'Hara and Savannah Guthrie's bomb. Huh. Anyhow, let's talk 124 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.480 a little bit about this whole thing with Jeffrey Epstein. 125 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.560 I can't believe there was three million more paint. I mean, 126 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.399 I can't believe there's this much junk on this guy. 127 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.439 And now we see an email where he's talking to 128 00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:00.000 the one of the New York Giants owners, Steve Tish, 129 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:06.759 about a woman and Tish is asking him does the 130 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.920 girls describe as a Tahitian named Emily? And Steve Tish 131 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.199 is wondering is she a working girl all right? Or 132 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:19.639 is she just fun? And there's some pretty interview. There's 133 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:23.759 some emails that don't look good. Is my president in 134 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.800 New York City? That's what he sent to Epstein. Can 135 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.160 I get my surprise to take me to lunch tomorrow? 136 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.639 We had a brief association where we exchange emails about 137 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:36.919 adult women, Tis said, and in addition we discussed movies, philanthropy, 138 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:40.200 and investments. I did not take him up on any 139 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.919 of his invitations and never went to his island. As 140 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.279 we all know now, he was a terrible person, and 141 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.799 some of I deeply regret associating with these guys. Don't 142 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.039 regret it. They don't regret it. They had a fucking 143 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.639 ball with this guy. This guy supplied them with girls. 144 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.759 Don't let me say the P word. He gave them girls. 145 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:04.200 And you know, I'm sure Tish was married and looked 146 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:09.360 down upon to cheat, and it's this is bad, This 147 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.919 is really bad. Tish offered Epstein two tickets to his 148 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.919 suite for a New York Giants game and also an 149 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:21.799 invitation to his Caribbean island. He says he didn't go. 150 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.759 I think we can check those check those notes, but uh, 151 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.399 this is this is not a good thing. NFL owners 152 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:36.320 are subject to you Personal Conduct Policy, and it states 153 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:41.120 that an owner and club or league management have traditionally 154 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:44.519 been held to a higher standard and will be subject 155 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:48.639 to more significant discipline when violations of the Personal Content Policy. Car. 156 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.600 I think we all signed those agreements when we get jobs. 157 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.000 We just don't realize what we're signing. But yeah, there's 158 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.799 moral codes that you have to adhere to. But I 159 00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.879 gotta tell you, we're supposed to trust at the end 160 00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:03.519 of is gonna do a better job investigating Jeffrey Epstein? Really, 161 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.480 I mean it's been a decade. It's been a decade, 162 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:12.159 and the FBI hasn't charged a single client. You get 163 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:17.240 the point, nothing's gonna happen. There's too many powerful people involved. 164 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.480 If one Domino falls, the other five hundred Domino's got 165 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.000 a fall. Well, the next five thousand Domino's got a fall. 166 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.600 It's you're never gonna hear about it. And don't talk 167 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.440 to me about Trump. At Emstein, he didn't like the 168 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.480 fucking guy for a minute. Yeah, he was at mar 169 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.240 A Lago. They got along, and then Trump just turned 170 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.600 the blind eye to him because he didn't like the 171 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.679 way he was acting to the women in mar Alago. 172 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.639 And I'm sick of people say, Oh Trump what. I 173 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.360 hope he sues Trevor Noah from the Grammys for saying 174 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.960 that Trump needs to go to Greenland because he can't 175 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.080 go to Jeffrey IF's Island anymore. I hope he sues 176 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:53.720 that bastard can't stand Trevor Noah, can't stand the Grammys. 177 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.600 Snooty fucks, snooty fucks who think they're better than us, 178 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:01.279 and they're not. They're not justin be his goddamn underwear. 179 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.279 What the hell you know? Back in the day, in 180 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.759 the eighties and early nineties, it's talking about Michael Jackson, 181 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:12.279 Tina Turner, Lionel, Ritchie, Aerosmith, so many great bands and 182 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.279 people who made their mark on the world. Now, what 183 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.600 the fuck are we getting? Bad? Bunny and these I 184 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:24.399 can't stand Chapel rowing in the stupid dress. It's not 185 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.559 the same. I don't want to watch these shows anymore. 186 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.759 I don't want to watch they used to be classy. 187 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.120 Even the oscars have turned into shit. I don't like it. 188 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:40.480 But it doesn't sound good, and morally it's ugly either way. 189 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:44.080 But legally one version is not good and the other 190 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:50.200 is undoubtedly well, it's gonna be life changingly bad. You know. Look, 191 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:55.840 if it's adult women and it's not prostitution, then okay, 192 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.840 a little shady but legal. Even if it is prostitution 193 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.360 with adult women, chances are that the statue of limitations 194 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.759 has run out. And even if it hasn't, no one's 195 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:11.720 going to go after him. You know, guys or John's, 196 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.960 as we say, rarely get charged except if they're caught 197 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:19.360 in the act. And we know from Bill Belichick's defenders 198 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:24.679 and Robert Kraft's continued place and respected society, plenty of 199 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.120 plenty of people are willing to look past pervy old 200 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:31.919 men looking to get some p okay. It doesn't go away. 201 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.080 I don't care if you're eighty, you still want to taste. 202 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.159 It's one thing to look forward to. Although I hope 203 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.559 the lady's not eighty. That would be a weird taste. 204 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.480 But you know what I'm saying, it's good to know 205 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.440 you still want it, and I don't. I just look. 206 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.039 If it involves miners, then the guy's toast period. I 207 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.879 get it. He can defend himself, but he's done. He's ruined, 208 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.799 and the statue of limitations may not have run out 209 00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.720 for that. Even if it has run out, he's done. 210 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:06.200 Tish's ruined. This is not a sympathetic, sympathetic figure. The 211 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:10.120 Tissues are a real, big, prominent family, and he'd have 212 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.360 to be taken down and removed from everything. He's got 213 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.200 family members who also work within the Giants organization who 214 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:23.039 take charge. I see this guy stepping down. You know, 215 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.480 life as he knows is kind of over now for him. 216 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.919 And then we go to Jeffrey Epstein, who apparently had 217 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.799 a kid fifteen years ago. This big bombshell email from 218 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:41.399 Andrew Boughton's Windsor ex wife Sarah Ferguson never liked her, 219 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:46.120 never liked her, but she congratulated him on the note 220 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.440 that she's sent on September twenty first, twenty eleven. This 221 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.679 is after he was already convicted of sex with an 222 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:55.919 underage girl, so she's still writing him. And he's a 223 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:02.799 complete perf pedophile, we know. But yeah, those people in England, 224 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.080 they they're pretty wild. The royal family's wild. 225 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:11.240 Don't know if he's still on the BBM, but have 226 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.000 heard from the Duke that you have a baby boy. 227 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:20.440 Okay, Sarah, it's kind of weird. And apparently this girlfriend 228 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.399 he's got, Karina schuliac who have not I saw one 229 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.279 picture look kind of cute. And he wanted to leave 230 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.720 his private island as well as fifty million and his 231 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.600 Upper east Side townhouse, and he signed his will two 232 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:37.519 days before he was found dead in his jail cell. 233 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.399 But yeah, the topic is that Epstein father's son, who 234 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.279 is now about out fifteen years old. It's a good 235 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.279 thing the kid's been kept out of the limelight. It's 236 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.080 not the kid's fault who his father is. And it's 237 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:57.960 highly doubtful that Epstein's sickness is an inheritable trait. I 238 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.559 hope not. But let's be honest. The only bad thing 239 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.240 that gets passed down on with sexally abusing kids is 240 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.080 the person who gets abused as a child does it 241 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.879 to kids when they become an adult. I think it's 242 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:16.600 like ninety It's been studied for a long time. It's 243 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:18.840 one reason why small town's gonna have such a high 244 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:25.080 percentage of kids getting molested. Isn't that disgusting? All sorts 245 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:27.080 of shit going on today, Gang, I gotta catch up 246 00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:31.200 Kim Kardashians now with Lewis Hamilton, the f one driver. Man, 247 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:37.440 they're having a ball Paris Hotel room disappeared for the night. 248 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:40.480 I don't know what Kanye is doing. I know Kanye 249 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.519 last week decided to apologize about all the Jewish stuff 250 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:50.080 and the Nazi memorabilia. But look, I think his wife, 251 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.879 Bianca is way more beautiful than Kim. I think Bianca 252 00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.639 is one of the tippy top girls of all time. 253 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.960 She just has it for me. That's gotta feel good 254 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.039 for him. But by the same token, Oh, by the way, 255 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.360 let me just say this, speaking of I watched a 256 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:11.080 porno the other day. I don't know. Look, I'm gonna 257 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.159 be honest with you, I don't like I don't need 258 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.559 to see like I like seeing porno where the man 259 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.720 and the woman obviously love each other, there's some kind 260 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.639 of romance. I don't just need to see straight banging. 261 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:25.399 I don't know that does nothing for me. Show me 262 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:28.360 that kissing, show me that she's talking to him, he's 263 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:32.080 talking to her. That turns me on. So I'm watching 264 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.559 this girl. Oh, let me let me step on this one. 265 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.279 I press play as a beautiful girl and she's starting 266 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:40.159 to make out slow with her man, and I'm like, oh, 267 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.600 this is gonna be good. Let me get ready for 268 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:49.200 this one. And then the camera pans down and she's 269 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.679 got a prick. It was a transgender And now I go, well, 270 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.159 now I gotta watch what they do because I've already 271 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:58.600 I've already committed to this. I thought she was a 272 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:02.600 beautiful girl. And now what happens? What do they do? 273 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.519 They touched Dix. I'm sorry to be so crass. They 274 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.640 touch them together, and then the guy goes down on her. 275 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:13.400 I couldn't why immediately got out of there, and I 276 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:17.440 hope that nobody noticed me there. Whatever turns you on, 277 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:19.880 But Jesus Christ, why do you want to be a 278 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.319 pretty girl and have a package down there. What's the 279 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:27.599 point of that. Some people have turned down by that shit. 280 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:31.160 Ye I'm not one of them. I like a good porn, 281 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:34.839 but not that shit. But it is interesting to see, 282 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.759 I gotta be honest. It is something that I go. 283 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.359 Let me just see what they're up to, you know 284 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:45.079 what I mean. Yeah, I enjoy that sometimes, not transsexual stuff, 285 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:47.680 but I enjoy a porn now and then to see 286 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.720 what people are doing. I just I like when two 287 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.720 people look to be in love and get down together. 288 00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:59.160 That's a turn on to me. But let me change 289 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.640 courses here. This morning I met Rosalie up the top 290 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.599 of the stairs. We're sitting in the living room talking 291 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.720 and these are the kind of moments I just cherished 292 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.559 so much. Where she's having coffee, I'm sitting down on 293 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:13.599 the couch, the dogs are there. We're just shooting the 294 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:16.920 shit about life. And I asked her questions about her family, 295 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.160 and you think you know everything about your family, but 296 00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:24.160 you don't. And thank God, she's there to be the 297 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.640 person that knows all of it because she lived it 298 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.079 seventeen years older than myself. She saw it all. And 299 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:35.160 we're talking about I said, Grandma Pipanella, my mother's mother. 300 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.160 Pipanella is Josephine and Italian. That's my middle name. I'm 301 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.839 named after her, my mother. I was in my mother's 302 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.720 belly when she died. I never met Grandma Pipanella. I 303 00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:46.920 understand she was a great woman and my father loved 304 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.160 her to death. And she used to make wine and 305 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:54.240 impostla for the local mafiosa. She served al Capone because 306 00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:56.599 Capone was a Brooklyn boy before a Chicago boy, and 307 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.880 he would walk around on these underground tunnels to my 308 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:05.359 grandma's apartment in Brooklyn, in Bensonhurst, and the things that 309 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.559 people did to stay alive. She told me about this 310 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.359 guy that grandma took him named Benny. I said, who 311 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:13.000 the fuck is that? Benny? Was a border she was, 312 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:15.720 he was old man and Grandma took him in. He 313 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.519 had a he had a room to himself, and you know, okay, 314 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.119 and then that was the big story about Well, it's 315 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.599 the big story of our life. This this man money 316 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:34.559 who began to come around when my grandfather fell off 317 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.680 a building. He was a brick layer, fell off a building, 318 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.839 hit his head was never the same. He got like 319 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.039 childish played hide and seek with the kids. We call 320 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:47.160 it don de lee in Italian, little Don Deli in 321 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:50.240 the fucking head. You know, Grandpa just disappeared. But I 322 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:52.920 would look at pictures of him, go, this can't be 323 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:55.599 our grandfather. He looks like Norman Rockwell. Who is this guy? 324 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.400 Who's this white haired old man? This is not our grandfather. 325 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.000 And sure enough, there's this story in our family that 326 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:05.680 comes around in a few years about Grandma taking in 327 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:10.960 a border named a man named Manino, who was very Italian, 328 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:17.079 very dark Sicilian, maybe possibly part black. And uh, you know, 329 00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:23.599 grandma came here from Italy and my supposed grandfather's grandfather's 330 00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:26.640 brothers were in the mob, and when she landed in 331 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.759 Ellis Island, she was immediately given to my grandfather to 332 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.240 be married. She had no say in the matter. None. 333 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:36.920 It's almost it's like it's like Iran, like these these 334 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.680 girls have they just get married off. It's terrible. And 335 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.960 the guy said, if you don't marry him, we're gonna 336 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:46.880 go back to Sicily and tell everybody you're a big 337 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:49.559 bhutana in America, you're a big tramp. And that's like 338 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.039 the worst thing to not to have your town in 339 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.480 Italy think that you're a terrible woman. So she married him, 340 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.440 was never happy, and this money comes along as a border. 341 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:04.440 I said, ro Grandpa was there, She goes, yeah, he 342 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.720 was there, but he didn't leave his room a lot. 343 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.279 And I'm sure grandma and my nee were having sex 344 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.640 because Grandpa wasn't having sex. I say grandpa, but my 345 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.079 supposed grandpa was not having sex with her anymore. But 346 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.599 yet two more kids appeared, my mother and my uncle NICKI, 347 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:25.559 who were darker complexion than the other sisters and brothers. 348 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:29.799 That's when me, rose Lee and some other Roators come from, 349 00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.839 and we all kind of look alike. And I don't 350 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:36.440 really know the truth of it. My mother didn't want 351 00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.599 to talk about it. Her sister and Anna was like, no, 352 00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.640 we're not talking about that. They wouldn't denounce their mother, 353 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.079 just in the sense that she probably had sex with him. 354 00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:48.440 And then at some point he left and went back 355 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:53.319 to Italy. My grandfather, supposed grandfather Nick got angry that 356 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:55.799 two more little kids running around the house and he 357 00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.119 ain't he's not having sex with Grandma, so he snapped 358 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.160 out of it. I Nan left and we just had 359 00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:06.119 a great talk about I told her, I said, remember that, 360 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:09.400 I said, I listened to Sam with the Bolo Gravado's podcast. 361 00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:11.720 Hadn't listened for a while. It used to be great. 362 00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:14.960 His stories were amazing. I said. He was always talking 363 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.079 about this gangster John Poppa. I said, isn't that the 364 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.880 guy that Daddy threw the milk bottle at She says, yeah, 365 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.480 a long time ago. I must have been an infant 366 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.759 in Brooklyn, and this guy, John Popper was a tough guy, 367 00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:34.359 young guy. He's walking down the street. He's saying awful 368 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:37.240 things to people. Back then, people had their windows open. 369 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:39.839 It wasn't a lot of air conditioning back then. In fact, 370 00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:43.079 air conditioning was a tub with a big block of 371 00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.400 ice and you blew a fan behind it to get cool. 372 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.960 So the windows were open. You could hear people in 373 00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:52.759 the street. You could hear, you know, the high school 374 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.480 guys singing under the board walk all that. I mean, 375 00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:57.559 I didn't hear that, but that's what they were doing 376 00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:03.240 back then. So he here's this guy, Oh you spicks 377 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.400 and jews and kikes and this and that and and words, 378 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.240 get the fuck out of Brooklyn, Get out of Benson nurse, 379 00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:15.839 real nasty. My father didn't like that. He went got 380 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.559 a bottle of milk from the refrigerato, went to the 381 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:21.160 roof of the building and threw the bottle of milk 382 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.200 at the kid. It crashed above his head on the 383 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:25.599 brick wall of the school, and he said, you want 384 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:28.160 to fucking come see me? Come see me? And then 385 00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:30.920 my father, Rosie said. Daddy sat down in a chair 386 00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.720 with the door open and a rifle in his hand, 387 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:37.119 ready to shoot that kid, And thank god, he ran 388 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.000 up the wrong staircase. I said, oh my god, this 389 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.039 is a great story. This is great shit. I forgot 390 00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:48.079 that stuff. Sometimes I forget how my father was just 391 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.559 a different kind of man. He just he captivated rooms. 392 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.559 But then again, if I can keep it in the family, 393 00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:59.480 Rosalie had a different father than I did. He was 394 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:01.559 not the same with her as he was with me. 395 00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:03.799 Huh could have been. He was away in World War 396 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:05.720 Two for five years and didn't see it till she 397 00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:08.680 was eighteen months old. She grew more attached to my 398 00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.720 uncle Lowry, his brother. It took time for her to 399 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.839 warm up to him. He was a strange man. She 400 00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:16.680 didn't know it was a father. She was a baby, 401 00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:20.519
