Speaker 1: From Workhouse Ketch. Same is it, bitch? This is your
Speaker 1: daily on Filter. Padgy would like to be walked on
Speaker 1: a leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. The
Speaker 1: guys put the cock okay four Tues today. I love it.
Speaker 1: And what a four twos two plus two is four?
Speaker 1: Two plus two is four? Four twos is forty four?
Speaker 1: Damn it. It's a good day. Although these landscapers are around.
Speaker 1: I was thirty minutes not dirty. Twenty minutes into the
Speaker 1: show and I have to stop because the landscaper lawnmower
Speaker 1: showed up and I could not believe the noise. Windows
Speaker 1: are shut, but they were coming through loud and clear.
Speaker 1: So I can't do that to you guys. Trying to
Speaker 1: get the show to Mike. He's leaving Vegas in a
Speaker 1: couple hours to come back to Florida, and I'm leaving
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning going to Vegas to finish poker, and he's
Speaker 1: got to get this show now or else he wouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to put it up until tomorrow late morning.
Speaker 1: And you guys are a little panic and some of
Speaker 1: you'll miss the show, and I don't want that to happen.
Speaker 1: So let me just start by saying I was looking
Speaker 1: at some article reading about the top podcast not because
Speaker 1: I'm looking for mine. Mine's not ranked in the top
Speaker 1: two hundred. I know that, but I'm just curious. I
Speaker 1: figured i'd know most of them. Most of them I
Speaker 1: know Joe Rogan Podcast America, Bill maher on Share Expert
Speaker 1: smart List, a lot of the ones I listened to,
Speaker 1: Alex Shones, Canon Owens, there's a lot of Ben Shapiro.
Speaker 1: I have no answers, and I can't even believe that
Speaker 1: the Kylie Kelsey podcast with her husband and you know
Speaker 1: the x X Philadelphia Eagle, and you know Travis Kelcey
Speaker 1: coming on this is like either number one or number
Speaker 1: two podcasts. I got one hundred million dollar deal Kelsey, Oh,
Speaker 1: Kylie Kelsey, her husband and Travis oll take thirty three
Speaker 1: million and change in a piece. Has your life changed?
Speaker 1: It all because she has a podcast and these two
Speaker 1: schmucks around it. I shouldn't say schmucks, but her husband,
Speaker 1: Kylie Kelsey's husband can't even remember his first name. He's
Speaker 1: in the shadow of Travis can't and the shadow of
Speaker 1: Taylor can't remember his name. I don't care. What the
Speaker 1: fuck has he ever said? What does she ever said
Speaker 1: that has changed the way you look at things, and
Speaker 1: it's all horseship. But she's gonna get the Webbe Award
Speaker 1: for Best Podcast of the Year. You know, last time
Speaker 1: around it was Amy Poehler who had about six shows
Speaker 1: under a belt, and she got best Podcasts. You mean,
Speaker 1: it's never gonna go to Joe Rogan ever, the guy
Speaker 1: that was one of the beginners with Corolla and Mark Maron,
Speaker 1: who's a print forget about him, but not many guys
Speaker 1: were doing podcasts fifteen sixteen years ago, and Joe's number
Speaker 1: one or two all the time. He's not Podcast of
Speaker 1: the year. You think more people talk about Kylie Kelsey
Speaker 1: than Joe wrote can get the fuck out of here?
Speaker 1: Get out of here? If he's Johnny Carson from the
Speaker 1: old day, she's not even Samantha Be when it comes
Speaker 1: to where you get your information or laughs from, give
Speaker 1: me a break. And then this Drewsky, this unfunny black kid. Suddenly,
Speaker 1: you know, some people just become so famous so quickly.
Speaker 1: I feel that way about Doci. Maybe many of you
Speaker 1: don't know the rapper female very cute. She has a
Speaker 1: couple of good songs. Do she just blew up became
Speaker 1: so famous so quickly, commercials movies that a lot this
Speaker 1: happens to a lot of people, like we call them plants,
Speaker 1: you know, like how do they get here? And Soabi
Speaker 1: Pedro Pascal, who agrees to everything toes the line, he's gay,
Speaker 1: he's got a transgender a sibling, everything is perfect. So
Speaker 1: he's a plant. Give him all the movie rolls. Blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. Kyleie Kelsey's a plant. There's no reason a
Speaker 1: woman like her should be this popular or drusky. He's
Speaker 1: to me allnless. He's the one who went out there
Speaker 1: and imitated Erika Kirk by putting on the wig. He
Speaker 1: culturally appropriated her. Look at the TPUSA big thing with
Speaker 1: the sparklers and all this shit going off in the air.
Speaker 1: I'm not an Erica Kirk fan. I don't believe eighty
Speaker 1: five percent of what she says. But I don't like
Speaker 1: Candace Owens, and I don't like how rabbag she's become
Speaker 1: going after Erica Kirk. This is unbelievable. But you know,
Speaker 1: they all have big shows. And Tucker Carlson too. Now
Speaker 1: he's apologizing, saying, I apologize for supporting Trump. I feel
Speaker 1: like it's my fault and the millions of us are
Speaker 1: in this trouble. And his son was working for the
Speaker 1: organization and he left. Your listen, Tucker, put on your
Speaker 1: bow tie again and be that prick on CNBC. All
Speaker 1: these people will do and say anything to get headlines,
Speaker 1: to get likes, clicks, subscribers, and money, money anyhow podcast
Speaker 1: of the year to get them. How about this story
Speaker 1: that you're not going to see on the news. You
Speaker 1: have to just find it. It's on social media. Maybe
Speaker 1: it'll be on Fox later today, but it won't be
Speaker 1: on CNN or MSNB. Now, a white firefighter in Wisconsin
Speaker 1: came upon a black drug addict overdosing in the street
Speaker 1: right a little you know, shades of George Floyd. Did
Speaker 1: they lean on the guy and grab and cuff him. Now,
Speaker 1: they came to his aid with nark can and they
Speaker 1: were patting them on the back and give them nark can.
Speaker 1: And this guy was gonna die. And there when he
Speaker 1: came back, when he came to they're all, hey, buddy,
Speaker 1: there he is, Hey, pal, you okay, we lost you
Speaker 1: there for a minute. All right, you know, you had
Speaker 1: an overdose. We took care of it. And that you know,
Speaker 1: like saying you're okay you I mean, now that you
Speaker 1: hear you have anything on you have any weapons? Know,
Speaker 1: and the black guys like, listen, I don't like talking
Speaker 1: to cops, you know. I just don't like cops. I
Speaker 1: don't like officials fire men. I don't like officers there
Speaker 1: like okay, no problem man, as he's saying this and
Speaker 1: that kind of Hey, we just want to make sure
Speaker 1: you're not going to hurt yourself as somebody else, you know,
Speaker 1: have cops are and firemen. He takes out a gun
Speaker 1: and kills the fireman. He killed the guy that just
Speaker 1: saved his life. I can't believe it. These stories, a
Speaker 1: story like this is going to be ignored because they
Speaker 1: don't fit the narrative, the preferred narrative that the legacy
Speaker 1: media has been pushing for years. You know what you
Speaker 1: do to get a cure for this, here's the cure.
Speaker 1: You got to get out more often. And I'm guilty.
Speaker 1: I'm more guilty than most of you because I'm on
Speaker 1: social media constantly looking for stories. How can I spend
Speaker 1: this cause there's this story, you know, break up anything
Speaker 1: in the cobwebs. In the back of my mind, that
Speaker 1: I can do on the show. So I'm always reading
Speaker 1: and just raking over everything. But if you get out
Speaker 1: more often, you'll see the world and the people in
Speaker 1: it and are not as bad as the way social
Speaker 1: media is painting it. Depending upon your algorithm, my algorithm
Speaker 1: must be the same as I don't know Ted Bundy's
Speaker 1: and Edgar Allan Poel. I see such gory shit, murders, kidnappings,
Speaker 1: you know, car accidents of course, puppies and pretty girls
Speaker 1: as well. But I go into that gore phase where
Speaker 1: I see nothing but crazy scary shit. But I met
Speaker 1: Rocco's track meet yesterday, three teams, a lot of kids,
Speaker 1: and you start to look and you go, you know what,
Speaker 1: Not everything is a big fistfight at waffle house, or
Speaker 1: a black and a white guy shooting each other at
Speaker 1: a bodega, or somebody robbing a jewelry store and ski
Speaker 1: masks like not. Everything's about that. Rocca goes to a
Speaker 1: school that has a lot of blacks in South Americans.
Speaker 1: This is Southern California. You can't avoid it. And you
Speaker 1: know what, You see them together. They're hugging each other,
Speaker 1: consoling each other, celebrating with each other, aiding each other,
Speaker 1: black teachers, white students. I mean, everybody gets along. Fucking
Speaker 1: thing is back. I'm not restarting now, guys. We'll have
Speaker 1: to just get through it. Unbelievable. All the windows are
Speaker 1: shut too unreal. I'm sorry, but Mike's gotta get the show.
Speaker 1: Fuck but you get out more often, don't let social
Speaker 1: media poison you. And uh, you know, it's just obviously.
Speaker 1: There's this one girl that I know likes Roco. She
Speaker 1: walks around. She's tall, she's thinned, like five seven, and
Speaker 1: she wears a lot of eye makeup and she has
Speaker 1: bracelets on, a studded bracelet. She has makeup on and
Speaker 1: nice hair, and I could tell she likes him. He
Speaker 1: just looks fuck right past it. But I'm looking at her, going,
Speaker 1: this is so nice. This is great. I like that
Speaker 1: she likes him, And you know, he's not overly conceited
Speaker 1: about it. He's like, I don't know, maybe she's nice,
Speaker 1: you know. Then the other team had a girl who
Speaker 1: had hair extent, non extensions. They were real, real hair
Speaker 1: dreads down to the back of her knees, and she
Speaker 1: was about five eight. But these both these girls, these
Speaker 1: black hicks, were very fast but they're all doing things
Speaker 1: like they saw Jackie John at Percy Do and other
Speaker 1: pretty track stars of the last twenty five years, the
Speaker 1: way they wore makeup and jewelry and hair extensions, and
Speaker 1: they're emulating that, and it's sweet and it's cute. And
Speaker 1: I suggest we all get out more and see things
Speaker 1: like that rather than the news and Instagram and Facebook
Speaker 1: and Twitter, which is the worst. Threads just out just
Speaker 1: lies outright about things. They just make shut up. Three
Speaker 1: Threads is the national inquirer of apps or social media platforms.
Speaker 1: Is awful. But let me just jump to this story
Speaker 1: that really got me. It hurt me. Charlie Sheen and
Speaker 1: Denise Richard's daughter, Lola Sheen. She said that she and
Speaker 1: her mother Denise to get back together with her one
Speaker 1: time boyfriend Patrick Muldoon, the guy that just died. The
Speaker 1: actor from Melrose plays Beverly Hills, Dinald two and O
Speaker 1: Starship Troopers. He just has a new movie coming out
Speaker 1: soon with some good people in it as well, and
Speaker 1: Alec Bowin's as he bets some good people. That's a
Speaker 1: decent actor. I used to run into him at Jerry's
Speaker 1: Delian Studio City where we were taping poker over there,
Speaker 1: nice guy, and he dies at fifty seven. I think
Speaker 1: of a heart attack, and I'm sorry. Whenever I hit
Speaker 1: guys that age dying of heart attacks, I just think
Speaker 1: that these are COVID related deaths. I'm sorry. They're not
Speaker 1: COVID but from the jab okay, from the injection. Because
Speaker 1: you know, in my father's era, men in their fifties
Speaker 1: got all attacks. My father had two back to back,
Speaker 1: his brother had four, his other brother, Larry, had three,
Speaker 1: all in their fifties. It was a different era. Now,
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, men are and trapping a fifty
Speaker 1: seven heart attacks unless they got the jet. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've seen videos of doctors pulling out threads of
Speaker 1: blood from somebody's veins, Like, what the hell's happening to us?
Speaker 1: And then, of course the story that I said once,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say it a lot, but you know,
Speaker 1: early on Andrew and I, well, she was pregnant and
Speaker 1: we were gonna have it. I mean, it was just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have it. And then she's carrying it for
Speaker 1: a few months and then she miscarries, very upsetting blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, and she goes to her gynecologist, and gynecologists said,
Speaker 1: just out of curiosity, is your boyfriend? Did your boyfriend
Speaker 1: get the COVID chat. She goes, yeah, he did. He's
Speaker 1: got older siblings and you know, didn't want to bring
Speaker 1: and younger nieces and travels a lot. She goes, well,
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, we've seen a two hundred percent
Speaker 1: increase in the miscarriages from women whose boyfriends or husbands
Speaker 1: had the shot. So you got Patrick muldoon dropping dead,
Speaker 1: the California Angels baseball team lost Garrett Anderson, who was
Speaker 1: a World Series champ, great athlete again in his fifties,
Speaker 1: dropping dead. I'm telling you I'm right. I'm not that
Speaker 1: I'm the only a lot of people are saying it.
Speaker 1: There's studies that show that there's so many more heart
Speaker 1: related illnesses, mild carditis and heart attacks, all sorts of
Speaker 1: shit since people got the jam. But anyhow, getting back
Speaker 1: to this this Instagram post that Lola Sheene put together,
Speaker 1: I thought you were the one that was supposed to
Speaker 1: be in our lives forever. When I think of my childhood,
Speaker 1: I think of you, Patrick, and it's going to be
Speaker 1: so weird to go on without you and our lives. Wow,
Speaker 1: such a huge part of our family and life will
Speaker 1: never feel the same. But that's just because of how
Speaker 1: much you impacted us. Thank you for showing everyone around
Speaker 1: you how to be alive. Twenty year old kid and
Speaker 1: him and Denise Richard stayed closed even after they broke up,
Speaker 1: because he made a laugh when life was getting difficult
Speaker 1: for her. He also made Lola Sheen laugh a lot
Speaker 1: because he would sing the kink song Lola to her
Speaker 1: and she'd never heard it, so on Hello, she would laugh.
Speaker 1: She was a kid, and she said, I really miss
Speaker 1: my mom. I really miss hearing my mom laugh on
Speaker 1: the phone with you. That's a that's sentence right there
Speaker 1: from a twenty year old kid has to send shivers
Speaker 1: down Charlie Sheen's spine. I know, Charlie, she knows he
Speaker 1: wasn't a model parent, wasn't there often enough spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally.
Speaker 1: He knows that he's done the work. God bless and
Speaker 1: man guy had a ball and then went through hell.
Speaker 1: But to see your daughter writing this letter to another man,
Speaker 1: that's tough. I mean, if we're this comes to worse
Speaker 1: than there's a divorce or a separation. You always want
Speaker 1: your loved one to be happy and to not have
Speaker 1: a prick in her life, and for the kids to
Speaker 1: be safe and sound. And of course you do, but
Speaker 1: trust me, as a man, deep down inside you don't
Speaker 1: want them to be that gushy. But this new guy,
Speaker 1: you just don't. Thank you for being the one to
Speaker 1: make her laugh and forget all about she's going through.
Speaker 1: That was a gift you had. The bond you two
Speaker 1: had was something so special that no one can touch.
Speaker 1: When I think of my mom, I think of you.
Speaker 1: You guys came as a package, and I'm so thankful
Speaker 1: I got to know you and witness a friendship so
Speaker 1: pure and special in front of my eyes. And she
Speaker 1: said she always thought her mother would end up with
Speaker 1: Patrick muldoon. I begged her. I'm sure she told you
Speaker 1: that you guys would end up back together, but I
Speaker 1: guess they and best friends was better. Anyways, you really
Speaker 1: were a rock star parent and forever will be not
Speaker 1: not parent, a rockstar, Pat and forever will be have
Speaker 1: fun up there. I know you will love you, you know.
Speaker 1: I know the guy had a girl. He was with
Speaker 1: Miriam Bart whoever that is. But she's the one who
Speaker 1: found him dead in the bathroom floor. What are so
Speaker 1: many men die in the bathroom floor? Do we spend
Speaker 1: that much time in the bathroom? I know we take
Speaker 1: our phones and read our books on the bowl, but
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody dies in the bedroom. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's a weird thing. I'm still wondering how Bob Saga died.
Speaker 1: That whole thing doesn't sit robb with me anyhow. These
Speaker 1: two did have a very very deep friendship, There's no
Speaker 1: doubt about that. But Denise says she never spoke to
Speaker 1: Patrick while she was married to Charlie. She said that
Speaker 1: in one of her reality shows one of the chef
Speaker 1: two or three, who the hell knows, but she didn't
Speaker 1: want to lose him as a close friend. But towards
Speaker 1: the end of the marriage she talked to him all
Speaker 1: the time. Hmmm, because she had a hard time dealing
Speaker 1: with uh Charlie, and Charlie had a hard time dealing
Speaker 1: with her in Muldoon's relationship. That's why this post from
Speaker 1: his daughter it kind of hurts me a little bit.
Speaker 1: And she said that the daughters said there were even
Speaker 1: the other daughter, Sammy said there were sparks still between
Speaker 1: Muldoon and Richards when they reconnected on some music video
Speaker 1: that she was with Aaron Phiper's said Vipers. What a
Speaker 1: stupid name, that last prick she was with. But the
Speaker 1: kids knew, the kids that I could tell he's thoughted
Speaker 1: feelings for my mom. But I don't want to get
Speaker 1: anybody in trouble. They do have thirty years of history,
Speaker 1: you know. Let me just say something about let me
Speaker 1: speak on that. This happens a lot more often than
Speaker 1: you think, you know, because it is possible, for sure
Speaker 1: to be in love with someone like a wife or
Speaker 1: a husband, girlfriend, boyfriend and still have fond feelings for
Speaker 1: someone from your past. Obviously, the key is not acting
Speaker 1: on those feelings or stoking the flames. But to say
Speaker 1: I don't have any fond feelings. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear their voice again. I'm not that guy. I know
Speaker 1: plenty of guys in marriages that have never and would
Speaker 1: never call an ex or receive an ex girl call
Speaker 1: from a girl. It's different now with all the with
Speaker 1: all the instagrams and facebooks and texting, you could get
Speaker 1: something out of the blue that you have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with. But your wife or girlfriend, husband and boyfriend
Speaker 1: is still gonna get pissed off, But you have nothing
Speaker 1: to do with I can't stop someone from reaching out
Speaker 1: to me, but you can stop how you respond to
Speaker 1: that person. And we all know the kind of shit
Speaker 1: that we could say that would hurt our loved one
Speaker 1: or they could brush it off. But you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: life puts us into situations that make that a test,
Speaker 1: makes it hard to uphold the valves sometimes. But if
Speaker 1: you have fun feelings, if you love somebody years ago,
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm very much like that. If you
Speaker 1: were in my life and I loved you, my family
Speaker 1: knew you, and we went together, We've traveled together, this
Speaker 1: and that. Well, I just can't discard those people. I
Speaker 1: can't just two embedded in my head. Even if it
Speaker 1: ended badly, I still have fun feelings for them. I
Speaker 1: still look back and think about the laughter and the fun,
Speaker 1: and then we all shaped each other in some way,
Speaker 1: you know. I Well, I'm looking on Instagram, like you
Speaker 1: know whatever, and I'm traveling. I'm scrolling through people's stories
Speaker 1: and I see this one video come up and as
Speaker 1: a girl in the distance walking from I can see
Speaker 1: the back of her. I saw one second of this
Speaker 1: girl walking maybe a second, and I said, that's Carra's walk,
Speaker 1: and then I zoned in on the blue. No, that's her. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's her story. Okay. She was in New York and
Speaker 1: she was shopping. Oh okay. See, you just know, if
Speaker 1: you know someone that well, I don't know how, you
Speaker 1: just go fuck it. Yeah, not talking to them anymore.
Speaker 1: They're done. Unless you have somebody in your life that
Speaker 1: you're completely committed to and you know it would really
Speaker 1: hurt their heart, then you move on. With my second wife, Lola,
Speaker 1: she didn't care who I contacted, who called me. She
Speaker 1: just never cared. But others don't want anything to do
Speaker 1: with that. So you got to play it by you,
Speaker 1: I guess. Speaking of relationships, yesterday, I told you I
Speaker 1: wanted to tell you more about the great May West,
Speaker 1: and you know this, she was something else. I don't
Speaker 1: know how many of you have seen some of the
Speaker 1: movies she was in, but she was really like no other.
Speaker 1: There was no one else like Maywest. There still hasn't been.
Speaker 1: But the subject came out from my patron, ZeVA Palmer.
Speaker 1: She said, did you know about Maywest with this boyfriend?
Speaker 1: You have this black guy, this black man. I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: we did a mysteries and scandals on her. I know
Speaker 1: all about it. The guy was named Albert Chalky Right
Speaker 1: Chucky Wright w RGHT. He was a featherweight boxer fought
Speaker 1: for twenty years twenties to the late forties, and he
Speaker 1: was a featherweight champion. His record was a little crazy
Speaker 1: back then, those guys fall like every three days. His
Speaker 1: record was eighty seven No. One hundred and seventy one
Speaker 1: wins with eighty seven knockouts, forty six losses, and nineteen draws.
Speaker 1: Those draws alone will make me want to retire. A
Speaker 1: draw water two is what nineteen anyhow. But back in
Speaker 1: the thirties, Chalky Right was very friendly with Maywest. You know,
Speaker 1: Maywest was a boxing fan. She liked tough guys. She
Speaker 1: dated a couple of body belough she liked men like that,
Speaker 1: and at one point she helped him finance his boxing
Speaker 1: career and she eventually brought him on as her living bodyguard,
Speaker 1: living bodyguard and chauffeur for a time, and that began
Speaker 1: this romantic relationship that they both had to deny publicly.
Speaker 1: This is way before Sammy Davis and uh Eddon. May
Speaker 1: britt Am I wrong. Sammy had the white girlfriend and
Speaker 1: they the studios said you're not you cannot be with her,
Speaker 1: and they made him marry a black woman, just just
Speaker 1: for you know, cosmetic kind of a look. It was
Speaker 1: this white I think it was Edna's what's wrong with me?
Speaker 1: It was may Britt, not may Britt. May Britt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were. They were hot and heavy, but the studios
Speaker 1: would not allow it. Next thing, you know, he marries
Speaker 1: a black assistant or somebody who was nobody damn but whatever.
Speaker 1: But Hollywood was obsessed with appearances back then, and obviously
Speaker 1: racial racial lines were really strictly drawn, so their relationship
Speaker 1: seeing them together really stood out, and a lot of
Speaker 1: people looked at it and thought, well, she's just very
Speaker 1: defiant about this. So it was very controversial story, but
Speaker 1: at the same time, it was very courageous and brave
Speaker 1: of both of them, namely her, because she was a
Speaker 1: big star to do that. There was one point, you know,
Speaker 1: Maywest lived in a beautiful building, the Ravenwoods apartment in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: I was there a couple of times because Jeremy Piven
Speaker 1: had a place there. Beautiful apartment building, you know, art deco, doorman.
Speaker 1: It's gorgeous, gorgeous, and she lived there, but the people
Speaker 1: who ran it, the management, would never let Chalky into
Speaker 1: her apartment. He had to stay outside. So may West
Speaker 1: was doing pretty well back then, and she responded by
Speaker 1: buying the entire building and that was never a problem
Speaker 1: again with Chalky going upstairs. Chucky also played a big
Speaker 1: role in protecting Maywest from threats. She got threats back
Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty five. He helped some copy in a
Speaker 1: sting operation against somebody that was extorting, targeting Maywest for money,
Speaker 1: and Chalky planted a decoy purse near the Water Brothers
Speaker 1: studio to catch the guy and they called him so
Speaker 1: look a woman like Maywest broke all the rules. But
Speaker 1: what she loved more than anything else with loyalty, and
Speaker 1: she likes standing up for people who still up for her.
Speaker 1: And with this Chalky Wright character, she found someone who
Speaker 1: did just that. He was strong, he had dignity and
Speaker 1: what she called an unwavering presence. I'll post a picture
Speaker 1: of these two at the bottom of the show. But
Speaker 1: she was unique, to say the least. You got to
Speaker 1: go back to her late teens or early twenties. She
Speaker 1: goes from Vaudeville to Broadway and was very provocative, always controversial, sexy,
Speaker 1: trying not to look at Maywest when she was from
Speaker 1: sixty to eighty when she died, and she lived with
Speaker 1: somebody for many years at that point. But in her youth, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, women were thicker back then, and there were
Speaker 1: no size zeros or twos or four as everybody seemed
Speaker 1: to be at ten to twelve or sixteen whatever the hell,
Speaker 1: But that was the women back then. Some guys like that,
Speaker 1: some guys don't, but you can't argue with it. Maywst
Speaker 1: being a very special kind of person and no one's
Speaker 1: ever been able to emulate since. She took roles in
Speaker 1: these plays that were very shocking for the times, and
Speaker 1: one time she wrote, directed, and started a play that
Speaker 1: was got arrested. She got busted for indecency in New
Speaker 1: York City after appearing in this play. But she also
Speaker 1: loved that publicity. In the meantime, she was very big
Speaker 1: with standing up for game and black people. She'd always
Speaker 1: kept her mother with her, was very intelligent about managing
Speaker 1: her own career when a lot of people around them
Speaker 1: were losing theirs and losing their money and their dreams
Speaker 1: just up and died. Maywest kept going, and she was
Speaker 1: very headstrong about where she wanted to end up. Not
Speaker 1: to mention her business interests, I mentioned the Ravens Would apartment.
Speaker 1: She had real estate all over California, a lot of
Speaker 1: it in Hollywood, and a lot of these guys being
Speaker 1: crosby Bob Hope. So many celebrities back then were buying
Speaker 1: buildings into Luca Lake and Burbank and Hollywood. You know,
Speaker 1: I guess they had some good representation back then, good accounting,
Speaker 1: good good bankers, people who knew, hey, you know, at
Speaker 1: this career might not last forever. Wyonn't you buy that building?
Speaker 1: You'd be happy five years from now. I want it
Speaker 1: triples in worth, you know that kind of shit. People
Speaker 1: wonder how how do these movie stars make it? They
Speaker 1: haven't worked. How does Bruce Willis make it? He hasn't
Speaker 1: worked the year. First of all, Bruce Willis got back
Speaker 1: in on so many movies. Please, at the end of
Speaker 1: his life, he was doing a movie. He'd work five days,
Speaker 1: have an air piece of his year and get a
Speaker 1: million bucks just so they could put him on the
Speaker 1: cover and sell the movie out in Europe. You know,
Speaker 1: because he was big out there. But he just saw
Speaker 1: this house for forty one million dollars privately, these things
Speaker 1: the people who made money early and then bought property,
Speaker 1: you never lose, especially in this town. You never lose
Speaker 1: with having a house or two. Oh my god. So
Speaker 1: that's how they withstand the lean years. They sell a property,
Speaker 1: you know, Oh I bought this for eight Now it's
Speaker 1: twenty two, thank you. You know. But she was a
Speaker 1: free spirit. Shocked a lot of people what she said
Speaker 1: and did. I mean, she was a lot like Malina Dietrich.
Speaker 1: But Malina Dietrich was very vain, and a lot of
Speaker 1: people will say she was cold, like emotionally cold. But
Speaker 1: that wasn't Maywest. You think about the thing she accomplished
Speaker 1: in her career. She was really went against, you know, censorship.
Speaker 1: She challenged that every step of the way. And since
Speaker 1: she got a start on stage, she you know, she
Speaker 1: learned to sing and dance and burlette shows and vaudeville,
Speaker 1: as I said, got to Broadway. But that play that
Speaker 1: was called sex, what she wrote, produce and directed strong
Speaker 1: ticket sales. But of course, like I said, the vice
Speaker 1: squad dragged her out, gave her an eight day prison
Speaker 1: set or jail set, and she served six got two
Speaker 1: days off for good behavior. But she did say on
Speaker 1: the way out, I expect this will be the making
Speaker 1: of me. And that was the first kind of sign
Speaker 1: of what will become a theme throughout her career. But yeah,
Speaker 1: i'd like a check like that, very very uh, you know.
Speaker 1: In the press, she would say the censorship was a
Speaker 1: good thing for her career and that this new code
Speaker 1: they put into the movies didn't change her act that much,
Speaker 1: so she had to rely on being more subtle. She
Speaker 1: couldn't be as sexual, and she only made you know,
Speaker 1: she didn't make a ton of movies during that period,
Speaker 1: and whenever she did, the censors would just cut it up,
Speaker 1: take away her funniest lines and her best scenes before
Speaker 1: they released the films. So then she would purposely include
Speaker 1: some lines that were very risque by the standards back
Speaker 1: then changed the dialogue in the script as they were filming.
Speaker 1: Even though she knew it wouldn't fly, she would push it,
Speaker 1: you know. So she didn't want to be a part
Speaker 1: of things that were so tame, so she did it
Speaker 1: her own way. Now, she didn't like making my Little
Speaker 1: Chickadee with w c Fields, which is a movie I
Speaker 1: like and always left like hell when I watch it
Speaker 1: back in nineteen forty. But that was the last successful
Speaker 1: film of her career, nineteen forty. Well, and people forget
Speaker 1: she wasn't just somebody that shut up in a movie
Speaker 1: and found her mark and her light and restarted her line.
Speaker 1: She was a writer, director, producer. She knew her voice
Speaker 1: like no one else knew it. I love people like that.
Speaker 1: You could just say, hey, this is why I want
Speaker 1: to talk. Change that line to this, this is more me,
Speaker 1: you know. And when she appeared in films written by
Speaker 1: somebody else, she would change of dialogue come up with
Speaker 1: this classic one line, as a lot of us have heard.
Speaker 1: Nobody complained because whatever she contributed usually made the material better.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're One of the most famous lines is
Speaker 1: in a movie called Night after Night, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: in the original script, but it's in response to a
Speaker 1: hat check girl who says to her goodness, what beautiful diamonds,
Speaker 1: and May West says goodness had nothing to do with
Speaker 1: the theory. I mean, that's just you know. Of course,
Speaker 1: if you're a director, you'd like, oh, that's fucking perfect,
Speaker 1: and you go cut perfect printed. We're going with that.
Speaker 1: It's not often that actors come up with something that
Speaker 1: perfect on the fly. But yeah, she wrote that film,
Speaker 1: and she wrote nine other films where she wrote most
Speaker 1: of her dialogue. And you know, back then, female writers
Speaker 1: were unheard of in Hollywood. They worked in the silent era,
Speaker 1: of course, but when the talkies came, they didn't make it,
Speaker 1: and none of them were on the same level as
Speaker 1: Maywest was anyhow. But you know, a woman like her
Speaker 1: can show people that, hey, women have stories to tell them.
Speaker 1: They can tell them in their own voices. It's not
Speaker 1: only it does not to always be a man's story.
Speaker 1: So it all, you know, a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of that stuff began with but the way she was
Speaker 1: in her movies, especially the ones she wrote, and again
Speaker 1: some of the best one liners of all time. Well
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad, I'm better.
Speaker 1: It's not the many of your life that counts, it's
Speaker 1: the life in your men. It's great. Well, it's better
Speaker 1: to be looked over than overlooked. And then she said,
Speaker 1: when I'm caught between two evils, I generally like to
Speaker 1: take the one I never tried. I generally avoid temptation
Speaker 1: unless I can't resist it. And this is famous. Is
Speaker 1: that a gun in your pocket? Or you just glad
Speaker 1: to see me? That has gone all around the world
Speaker 1: and been translated into different languages. And of course we
Speaker 1: say things like is that a been out in your pocket?
Speaker 1: Is that a chap's sticking your pocket? You know? But
Speaker 1: while we're on the subject of famous lines, it's uh.
Speaker 1: It's worth saying because a lot of people don't know this.
Speaker 1: Like that famous line she's always quoted as saying, uh.
Speaker 1: It was from a movie she done him wrong, and
Speaker 1: she tells Carrie Grant's character, why don't you come up
Speaker 1: sometime see me? Because she was always inviting men to
Speaker 1: come on up. That was her thing, and a lot
Speaker 1: of movies and plays it was a running joke, but
Speaker 1: never set it on screen. The way people remember and imitate.
Speaker 1: People always say why don't you come up and see
Speaker 1: me sometime? Big boy? No, it's why don't you come
Speaker 1: up sometime? Come up see me? It's much more powerful.
Speaker 1: It's like people do carry Grant and they always go
Speaker 1: jud d judy, judy. He never said he never said
Speaker 1: that in any single movie. It just sounds like something
Speaker 1: he'd say, by the way, she discovered Carry Grant. She
Speaker 1: saw him. She was like making her second or third film,
Speaker 1: and they were both opposite Carry Grant and he had
Speaker 1: done a handful of films, but it was starting to
Speaker 1: get noticed, not much. But she took credit because she
Speaker 1: saw him one on the Paramount a lot and said
Speaker 1: to somebody next to her, producer, what have you? You know,
Speaker 1: if if that guy can talk, I'll take him. And
Speaker 1: of course he could talk, and she took him, and
Speaker 1: he and the public took to Carry Grant quite a bit.
Speaker 1: But the fact that she was headstrong on him so much,
Speaker 1: I think it lends credibility to the rumors that he
Speaker 1: was gay. I know, people don't want to hear it
Speaker 1: because he was such a handsome man. Oh he was
Speaker 1: with Diane Can. It doesn't matter who they're with, Gavalda Cruz,
Speaker 1: both with beautiful women. Who doesn't matter, you know. But yeah,
Speaker 1: she uh found Carry Grant. And I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: she made this movie. I'm no angel that you know.
Speaker 1: The Paramount, the theater of the studio she was under.
Speaker 1: They were facing bankruptcy. This is the Great Depression, and
Speaker 1: there have been horrible financial trouble, and it was under
Speaker 1: the control of the trustees, and she did a movie
Speaker 1: called She'd Done Him Wrong, and it gave them an
Speaker 1: extra two million bucks and ticket sales, and it was
Speaker 1: enough to keep the studio afloat for a little while longer.
Speaker 1: You know, to this day, there's still a may West
Speaker 1: building on the Paramount lot in honor of her keeping
Speaker 1: the studio alive. See, this is the kind of shit
Speaker 1: I love. It's not lost on me because I remember,
Speaker 1: having already done the Mysteries and Scandals episode on her.
Speaker 1: I would then go and stay at Robert Evans's house
Speaker 1: and visit him. And one day it dawned on me,
Speaker 1: I'm like, if may West doesn't keep Paramount afloat, then
Speaker 1: the day where Robert Evans becomes the head of Paramount,
Speaker 1: that never happens, and I probably would have been robbed
Speaker 1: of what a wonderful friendship and mentorship it was to
Speaker 1: have him in my life. Maybe I'm stretching things a
Speaker 1: little bit, but they are kind of related anyhow. Little
Speaker 1: details like that make me feel like a small part
Speaker 1: of some of Hollywood's lore, or at least I can
Speaker 1: talk it. Yeah, but a real sex pot as we
Speaker 1: know also was very against ageism. She was in her
Speaker 1: fifties when she made some great movies, even on the stage,
Speaker 1: and back then that wasn't always the case. There's a
Speaker 1: movie she made the last two were awful. She made
Speaker 1: a movie called Myra Breckinridge, which was disaster. Gorvy Dal
Speaker 1: wrote it it was a rock Cayle Weltch, John Houston
Speaker 1: foul for us at Rex freet and Tom Selleck, who
Speaker 1: was very young, bombed in theaters. It was a bomb.
Speaker 1: It's a culty kind of a movie now but definitely
Speaker 1: regarded as one of the worst films of all time.
Speaker 1: But this was a movie where Roquel Welch was at
Speaker 1: the height of her being a diva and May West
Speaker 1: was the diva. And I think rockkeel Welch had a
Speaker 1: black dress in her dressing room she vosed to wear
Speaker 1: for a pivotal scene where she meets May West in
Speaker 1: this movie. And May West was older then saw rockw
Speaker 1: Welch's sexy gown and was like, no, she's not gonna no,
Speaker 1: she's not gonna look better than me. No, And she
Speaker 1: got rid of the dress. But Raquel said nothing, and
Speaker 1: the day of the shoot she was able to get
Speaker 1: another dress, the same dress, not the same on, but
Speaker 1: another dress. I looked the same, just as revealing, just
Speaker 1: as sexy, and she put that on. And when Maywest
Speaker 1: saw that black dress on, it created the kind of
Speaker 1: emotion those two needed for that scene. But yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't out diva, Raquel welch. Like when I was dating
Speaker 1: the MTV VJ I E Dallas Divione and we had
Speaker 1: a double date with Raquel and her husband, my friend
Speaker 1: Richie Palmer, and we all went to Aga and I'm
Speaker 1: there with Raqkel and Richie. I got there ahead. I
Speaker 1: Dallas was going to meet me there. But on time,
Speaker 1: well five minutes, ten fifteen, she's still not there, and
Speaker 1: Raquel's like, well, should be order, and just you know
Speaker 1: when she gets it. She got a little impatient. She
Speaker 1: knew what was going on. You don't out diva the diva.
Speaker 1: And now Dallas comes walking in, sauntering in look right,
Speaker 1: always looked great, And I said, I grabbed her leg
Speaker 1: under the table, went in her ear. What the fuck
Speaker 1: do you think you're doing? You got rack? Cow? Won't
Speaker 1: she you want to come late? You think she thinks
Speaker 1: she're you cool for doing that? Oh my god, what
Speaker 1: a fucking bad idea that was. It wasn't like that'll
Speaker 1: lot between me and I Dallas. But anyhow, Uh then
Speaker 1: she made a movie called Sex ten eighty four years old.
Speaker 1: She cast herself as an actress and sex symbol who
Speaker 1: had multiple lovers and ex husband's played by already Timothy Dolton,
Speaker 1: Tony Curtis Ringo star and my man George Hamilton. Film
Speaker 1: and shit didn't make a lot of sense, but you know,
Speaker 1: very campy, and it was the last thing she did
Speaker 1: before her death. But yes, see, you know, I'm the
Speaker 1: guy lucky enough to hang out with George Hamilton and
Speaker 1: hear the story about how he did have sex with Maywest.
Speaker 1: I looked it up, you could google it. It doesn't show,
Speaker 1: but George told me as a good kiss and tell
Speaker 1: her that's the famous story of him having sex with
Speaker 1: her during that shoot for sex sex tent. She's fucking
Speaker 1: eighty four. I can't even imagine it. But the point
Speaker 1: is George was a horn dog and he's having sex
Speaker 1: with her, and at some point he has a loud
Speaker 1: snap and he thought something fell whatever the hell, you know,
Speaker 1: it was kind of dark in the room. Then he
Speaker 1: gets back at it and he has another snap, and
Speaker 1: he said to me, when I look back at her face,
Speaker 1: he sad to say one of those noises. He said,
Speaker 1: her face had fallen, her chin was on her tits.
Speaker 1: I said, what he goes back? Then? You know the
Speaker 1: women were using rubber bands on their head that would
Speaker 1: pull their skin back and make them look more youthful.
Speaker 1: But her band snapped, I guess we were having sex
Speaker 1: too hard, I said, I can't even hear Maywest having
Speaker 1: sex hard at eighty four years old. I can't. But
Speaker 1: that's the way George Hamilton was. Sex was more important
Speaker 1: than a lot of things. But either way, there's your Maywest,
Speaker 1: Chalky Wright Store Chalky Wright. If I remember correctly, I
Speaker 1: think I mentioned in the show that he also had
Speaker 1: an affair with Dorothy Dandridge. I believe, beautiful black actress.
Speaker 1: She was really pretty. Did a show on her as well.
Speaker 1: Dorothy was I think she died in her bathroom about
Speaker 1: two doors down from Uncle Vinnie's place in West Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Died in her bathroom. I was in that bathroom when
Speaker 1: we did the show. We were able to shoot in
Speaker 1: one of the in the building, and I think Dorothy
Speaker 1: Dandrid only had fourteen dollars left to her name when
Speaker 1: she died. Beautiful actress, porgy and best. Just so sad,
Speaker 1: but yeah, there you go. Maywst big standout. Anybody who
Speaker 1: came after her, you know, who combined being a blonde
Speaker 1: and a bombshell with brains and a quick wit, is
Speaker 1: taking after her, is imitating and emulating the great May West.
Speaker 1: Just one of those people. You know, what you see
Speaker 1: is what you get. And she played a lot of characters,
Speaker 1: but she was only always ever really playing an exaggerated
Speaker 1: version of herself. That happens a lot in Hollywood. You know,
Speaker 1: she could be other people, but let her be yourself.
Speaker 1: It's more entertaining. So, you know, incredible legacy. And I'll
Speaker 1: end it with something she said once that's so apropos.
Speaker 1: She said, you only live once, but if you do
Speaker 1: it right, once is enough. Can't really imitate it, but
Speaker 1: you get the point. That's it. Gang. I'm aj Benson.
Speaker 1: I was your Daily Unfiltered podcast for April twenty second,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and I'll talk to you talk to
Speaker 1: you guys tomorrow
