But there's 21 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.439 a lot of things on our mind, so I get 22 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.319 it it could be a bit of an issue for 23 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:24.599 some people. I'm not sure the logistics how I'm going 24 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.439 to make it happen, How you get your answers to me? 25 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.760 And who I consider the winner or let's say top 26 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.760 three winners. I'll get some merch out to you guys. 27 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:38.840 That Acabino's got a box of merch sitting in storage. 28 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.840 It's gone to three different, three different addresses these days, 29 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.079 but it's sitting there. So that's coming up. By the way, 30 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.840 I'm looking at myself on this on this app or 31 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.280 platform that I record the show on riverside, and maybe 32 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.879 it's the room in the outside Vegas, the strip and 33 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.680 the lights behind, but I have a green hint to 34 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.640 my face. It reminds you of oh God, minds you 35 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:09.680 of wicked, which I fucking can't stand it anymore. How 36 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.520 does anybody look? I understand families of lovingness. Once again, 37 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.120 this is not for dads. Yes, you could take your 38 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.599 little girls to see it or girl, whatever you want. 39 00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.080 I'm sure you'll get a kick out of what she loves, 40 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.159 just like we all sat through some of the shitty 41 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.000 animated movies of our past. If the kids loved it, 42 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.719 I loved it millions. I'd rather kill myself than watch 43 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.800 minings with another baby, But I did it. You know, 44 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.879 we all watch things five hundred times that the movies 45 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.199 the next time kid go to sleep. I get it. 46 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:43.840 But wicked enough these two Arianna and Arivo, with the 47 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.400 way they're acting toward each other. And the green By 48 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.280 the way, did you know there is actually I forget 49 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.960 where I'll do more of this tomorrow. There's a trigger 50 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.919 warning now for some people who see the movie because 51 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:01.879 of the green skin. I forget the entity, but some 52 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:03.919 people think it might be. You know, this movie could 53 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.560 be triggering for those with green skin. Who are these 54 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:12.240 people with green skin? Are their livers? That bad? Who? 55 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.599 The grinch? Who's green? I don't know. I'll give you 56 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.599 more on that tomorrow. Sorry about the sound on my 57 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:23.039 bracelet hitting the glass table, but I'm into a Johnny 58 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.159 Depp brain. Well I'm always a bracelet man. But now 59 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.639 I got like four in each rist with things hanging 60 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.159 from them, which I found little crucifixes. What have you 61 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.080 I need to help? I can get I saw something 62 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.400 funny on Instagram. Today, a husband was dropping off his 63 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.759 wife at her high school reunion. Look to be in 64 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.680 their late forties, right, And she's giggling as she gets 65 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.240 out of the car, and her husband's like, I have 66 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.479 a good time. I guess he figured I don't want 67 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.360 to go to these things. I know nobody. You're from 68 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.639 a different state, friends I've ever met. It's uncomfortable for 69 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.719 a party to go to a you know, a reunion 70 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.560 like that. You just want to talk and get lost 71 00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.639 in your years of high school. And there's your husband 72 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.840 and wife sitting there doing nothing. So he's dropping her 73 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.120 off and as she's about to leave, she goes, He's like, 74 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.319 have fun, honey. She goes, I will, and she turns 75 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.599 back and goes, remember somebody these guys fingered me. I 76 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.319 mean that just killed me. They have that kind of relationship, 77 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.680 and I love it. It's very funny, and they allowed it. 78 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.959 I liked that they allowed on Instagram. You know, if 79 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.000 they didn't allow on Facebook, I'm throwing off Facebook for 80 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.920 a while. Well, I'm looking at Jennifer Flavan and Stallone 81 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.199 right now on Sean Hannity, sly looks better than he looks. 82 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:38.560 On Tulsa King, but Jennifer Flavan still looking good. Yeah. 83 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.319 And then when I went to Slis house way back 84 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.600 in ninety six, she was under the weather in the 85 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.720 living room, under a big blanket, and I walked in 86 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.199 and he introduced us, and you know, it's kind of 87 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.920 strange to see her under a blanket sick while stallone 88 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.360 showing me the house and everything. But yeah, so Facebook 89 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.319 kicks me off for a week. You know. I posted 90 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.279 a picture of Roxy and Rocco when they were kids, 91 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.800 when we lived with Rosalie. And Roxy's in a bikini. 92 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.879 She's seven years old, a little yellow bikini, nothing revealing. 93 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.959 She's running on the lawn and there's her brother, three 94 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.519 or four years old, probably three, in a diaper and 95 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.240 no top but his long blonde hair, and they're both 96 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.639 running around the lawn having fun like kids doing faithbook. No, 97 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.759 this is coming down nudity, nudity. Did they think Rocco 98 00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:30.480 was a girl because his hair is so long and 99 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.920 his nipples are out? What's nudity? Can't show my kids? 100 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.000 And they tell you, Okay, we have make a decision. 101 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.680 We're gonna throw you off for a week. Here's why 102 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.199 do you want to appeal it? Yeah, I do. And 103 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.199 you can't even tell them what they got wrong. There's 104 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:51.600 no place for that to write that in anyhow. By 105 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:55.759 the way, I'm not glad this happened, but it happens 106 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.800 often enough that people who are out there trying to 107 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:04.920 get followers and be so oh be that person with 108 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:11.399 the perfect post on Instagram, it just well. Look a 109 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:18.399 Russian born vacationer in Thailand. She's there with a boyfriend 110 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.079 and she decides, I'm going to strike a beautiful yoga 111 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.879 post on this gorgeous cliff in Thailand. And you could 112 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.800 see her. She's struggling because she is on the cliff 113 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.120 in a beautiful yoga pose and the water's coming in. 114 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.319 Suddenly a big wave comes and knocks her off the rock. 115 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.399 Now you see in the footage she's struggling. There's currants, 116 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.879 and the water is getting all choppy and white. Some 117 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.040 guy who saw this jumps in the water to try 118 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:52.399 to help her. It was unsuccessful, and no one knows 119 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:59.560 where he went. But she, this woman Belatskaya, she called 120 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.920 this beautiful spot, she called it home. She called it 121 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:07.639 the best place on earth. While she died there, all 122 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:11.519 you could see was her pink yoga mat swept away 123 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:16.959 in the ocean, and then somebody named Chaia porn Suprasert. 124 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.480 He's the head of the rescue center in Thailand. He's 125 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:24.319 telling Look, he says, we have warning systems everywhere around 126 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.240 the beaches. We tell tourists of the possibility of bad 127 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.079 swimming and coastline conditions. And he says, you know, during 128 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.759 monsoon season, we constantly warned tourists, especially in high risk 129 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.920 areas like Chiwang and Lamai beaches where red flags indicate 130 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.360 no swimming. She wasn't swimming, mister super Whatever the fuck, 131 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.839 mister Supersata, She wasn't swimming. She was sitting on her ass. 132 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.279 This is why I can't love yoga, or can I 133 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:56.680 be honest. Outside of Shiji Levanzi, who's a yoga fanatic 134 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:02.480 yoga people, I can't. My brother law, the wife's the 135 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:06.600 wife's sister and her husband were yoga people, and the 136 00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.800 way they talk, and I know what they're really like 137 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.199 in person, and yet they act like everything's under control. 138 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:17.560 I mustay bullshit. I know these people underneath, they know 139 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.639 different than you or I. They fly off the handle, 140 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.199 they say things that don't mean, they do crazy stupid shit. 141 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.319 Now mistake. How about not my ass stay because they're 142 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.839 full of shit. I don't know why yoga people always 143 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.720 think everyone else wants to see them doing their stretchers 144 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.000 outside at the park, on the beach, at a lake 145 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.559 in the oceans, in a boat where you're eating lunch. 146 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.559 We don't want to see it. If she did yoga 147 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.200 in her hotel room, she'd still be alive, and so 148 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.240 with the good Samaritan and tried to help her. You watch, 149 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.039 and a week democrats will call it climate change. The 150 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:58.799 woman died because of climate change. Just the term swept away, 151 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.039 it's a very scary term, but I'll tell you it 152 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.840 does remind me. Boy, when I was a kid, thirteen 153 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.399 years old, maybe there was a movie called swept Away, 154 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.679 famous movie, foreign film. Obviously, one night my father comes 155 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.320 down the stairs. I got the TV to myself. I 156 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:19.440 don't know what I was watching, but I know whenever 157 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.679 he came downstairs, it means he couldn't sleep. And I'd 158 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.639 hear the hand down the banister and he would always 159 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.039 say the same thing, more or less, and it was, 160 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.840 why don't you make Papa a Scotch? All right? Dad? 161 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.559 And he'd sit in his requirer I'd go behind the bar. 162 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.519 We had a little bar in the living room. Make 163 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:38.879 a miss Scotch and water. What have you? Always take 164 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:41.440 a little sip. I touch it to my lips. Oh 165 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.559 my god, it was so powerful back then as a kid. 166 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:45.919 He didn't stop me, only let it. I just a 167 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.360 little bit to my lips. He would say, good, you 168 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.519 like it? No, good, don't like it. Well I ended 169 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.600 up liking it, but that's not his fault. So he goes, 170 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:58.200 let's see what's on home box He loved it. No 171 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.159 one called it HBO. But then let's see what we 172 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.600 got on a home box office. So it was swept Away. Great, 173 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:09.720 great film by the filmmaker Lena Wertmueller, terrific director. The 174 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.799 actual name of the film was Swept Away by an 175 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:17.600 Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August. I love 176 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:21.559 it so basically in this movie, no spoilers, but it's 177 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:25.000 been fifty years, guys, it's a trip. They're on a 178 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:31.039 boat in the Mediterranean Sea and basically it becomes a 179 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.440 trip into the discovery of how society's frameworks of the 180 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:42.519 rich and poor are very delicate and also temporary. It's 181 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.679 a lot about class warfare in Europe. So it starred 182 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.480 one of the best Italian actors ever, gian Carlo Giannini. 183 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.720 I love him, and an actress named mari Angelo Melatto. 184 00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:00.919 So Malatto, blue blonde eyed, from Northern Italian, Northern Italy, right, 185 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:06.240 and she represented the rich capitalists, you know, the white Italy. 186 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.559 She spoke Milanaise Italian with a you know, kind of 187 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.960 a French inflection, which a lot of Northern Italian people 188 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.600 have that sort of pride about them. Well, Jane Carlo 189 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:23.039 gene Edie, he's a dark skinned guy, he's kind of uncouth, 190 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:29.720 he's uneducated. He's like me, Sicilian speaks with a very 191 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.840 thick Sicilian accent. You know, I'm halfnboly Tan too. I 192 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:37.240 never give my mother credit. She half of her was Neapolitan, 193 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.519 so you know I got that knowing for me too, 194 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.919 which is a wonderful trait. Neopolitans are always very you know, 195 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.200 they like to calm shit down, Let's have peace, no 196 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.919 more fighting. Sicilians are looking for way to put the 197 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.639 knife in your back. Neopolitan's very diplomatic, and that's exactly 198 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.000 my mother and my father. But now this guy on 199 00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.759 the boat who's driving her, is this lower class, all right, 200 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.919 which really back then they considered black, honestly, and throughout 201 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.799 the whole film, and you gotta see this movie, he 202 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:13.919 tells her, you have to address me now as mister 203 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:19.879 coruncio or a master, because he's been humiliated so many 204 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.639 times by people of her ilk to be an underdog 205 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.080 in the Italian society. He's gonna now take revenge on 206 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.120 this woman. And he begins to really, you know, handle 207 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:31.879 her and give her a hard time. He slaps her 208 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:34.279 a few times whenever he's at a loss for words, 209 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.399 which is a lot. He's maxer. I mean, he's very evil, right, 210 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.279 but don't forget this guy's lived with humiliation and misery 211 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.919 all his life from people just like her. And there's 212 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.039 this rape scene, so called rape scene. This is when 213 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:54.039 he's at his most angry, and you know he's sitting there. 214 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.399 I'll never forget this scene because I'm twelve years old. 215 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:02.440 Thirteen maybe now d never happens. But he's telling her 216 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.799 what he's gonna do, and he's using racial slurs, very 217 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:12.039 derisive language. And in this scene he tells her I'm 218 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.000 in complete control now, I mean it's in Italian, but 219 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.360 he's saying he's in complete control, and before they consummate 220 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:23.279 the sex. What she eventually does, she starts to like 221 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.440 him the way he is. She starts to like being 222 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.399 told what to do by him. It's very uh, I 223 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:35.000 don't know, it's very dark, and uh, what's the word. Uh? 224 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.679 I can't take of the word primordial. That's the word, right, 225 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.000 because you know, she hasn't had much affection because of 226 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:48.000 who she is. And they have this love affair, and 227 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.000 he tells her when he's seducing her, he's behind her 228 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.200 and in her ear he says to her, I am 229 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.679 subdomizing you. I'm sudomizing you. And I knew it was 230 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.759 a kid. Excuse me, I knew it was a kid. 231 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.519 What's that word sodomized? I sees behind her. I didn't 232 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:10.039 couldn't put two and two together. And my father just says, yeah, 233 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:12.519 he's screwing her from the back, just turns to his 234 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.440 right and tells that to his young son. Oh okay, yeah, okay, 235 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:20.480 I'm not gonna tell you more. See the movie, but 236 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.320 don't make a mistake, and see there swept away made 237 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:29.000 by Guy Ritchie that starred Madonna. That is hell. Don't 238 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:33.240 do it. It's garbage. Actually Madonna. You know, I had 239 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.840 the brilliant idea to rewrite the movie Ladulce Vita, to 240 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.759 rewrite the screenplay. I said, I'm gonna write leadulce Vita. 241 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.519 I'm gonna rewrite it and take it out of Italy 242 00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:47.960 and put it in New York City and even Miami. 243 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.720 I'm gonna make it all different. I went scene for 244 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.679 scene and just like like a doctor, I said, okay, 245 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.919 this scene instead of Italy, instead of this, it's gonna 246 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.399 be this person, this girl. I knew the next scene, 247 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:01.519 and I the whole movie like that. I called it 248 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.679 Beautiful Lies, and I had a lot of respect for 249 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.080 it because I said, look, if anybody can rewrite Adultivita, 250 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.679 it's me. Marcello Mastroani is apparently related to me somehow, 251 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.519 someway he started in that movie. He played a gossip columnist. 252 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.480 I'm a gossip column both Italian. Well, give me a break. 253 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.120 This has got to be the movie that I do. Right. 254 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:26.240 But you know, suddenly swept the way comes out with 255 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.159 Madonna and the word was out, nobody will remake famous 256 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:37.200 Italian cinema. So there went me trying to to pitch 257 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.799 Beautiful Lies. But I don't know why at twelve years old, 258 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.360 thirteen years old, I get so turned on by that scene. 259 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.159 But it was the words that did it, because there 260 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.919 wasn't real nudity to look at, but the words got me. 261 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.200 But Jesus, what was my father thinking. I'm glad he 262 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:58.919 showed me, but what was he thinking? This? This? I 263 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.960 gotta say, I look at the story because I know 264 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.600 it's like right now in Gwyneth Paltrow's life, the waters 265 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:10.600 are turning dark because Goop, her big big business, is 266 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.559 not doing well. They've been getting sued, they've had layoffs. 267 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.759 Things aren't going great, and everybody's saying that Gwyneth Paltrow's 268 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:23.799 empire was crumbling. Well, she didn't care. She said that 269 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.679 could be, but I'm gonna make sure I take me 270 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:31.480 and Chris our daughter Apple, which we all laughed at 271 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:34.519 when she named her that twenty years ago. If you 272 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.960 could believe it, Apple, I guess it's Apple Martin, not 273 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.360 Apple Paltrow. Apple Martin, who's very beautiful girl, made her 274 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:48.159 debut at the La Balds Debutants over the weekend. A 275 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.879 lot of a list people with daughters do this sort 276 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.679 of thing. I'm not much for debutante bulls and what not. 277 00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.720 But more people than you know have put their daughters 278 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.519 in this sort of thing. But you see, I mean, 279 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:08.160 Apple is wearing this Valentino gown. There's stars everywhere and 280 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:13.400 their daughters twenty to twenty five women who are being 281 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:18.599 introduced into society at the Palace of Versailles. That's pretty 282 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.279 pretty cool. The girls are between sixteen and twenty two, 283 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.680 and their hand picked from all different countries, and they 284 00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:28.279 go through months and months of fittings. Who needs this shit? 285 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.559 Months and months of fittings before stepping out in the 286 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:37.640 costume or the catoo gown they love the most. Gwyneth 287 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:42.160 Paltrow looked like she thought she was Marie Antoinette. Okay, 288 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.839 and I think we should remind Gwyneth what happened to 289 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.240 Marie Antoinette. Didn't end too well. But this girl and 290 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.519 other girls are walking around like they're literally bells of 291 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:54.759 the ball. But I just felt like, you know, I'm 292 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:59.680 this goes on, this happens, but just just once in 293 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.200 my life, I want to feel what it feels like 294 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.720 to first of all, start to leave Hollywood as an 295 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:09.000 OSC winning actress, then marry have a kid at a 296 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:12.799 rock star, start a huge business where you can sell 297 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.680 candles for seventy five bucks that smell like your vagina, 298 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:18.599 and all sorts of other things you can do, like 299 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:20.920 a fucking cap that goes on your head with red 300 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.759 light therapy that helps men grow hair, which is nonsense, 301 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.640 for only five hundred and fifty dollars. I mean, she catered, 302 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:29.400 as we all know, to a very upper crust rich 303 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.519 group of people, and then that's failing and she's like, 304 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:37.640 fuck it, let's go to Paris for the ball. What 305 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:42.200 a life? What a life? And it got me thinking. 306 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.480 It got me thinking about, you know what it must 307 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.680 feel like for those Pemigwyneth Paltrow has been famous for many, 308 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:50.960 many years before her mother and father were famous, so 309 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:54.440 she's always been around that sort of fame thing. And 310 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.759 I got to think, in the other day, why what 311 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.240 was it about me in my life that I decided, Oh, 312 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.359 I'm going out to LA to be a celebrity or 313 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:05.799 a star. And I always thought I'd do it, but 314 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:10.039 then things began to happen with me that made it 315 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:13.039 It all made sense for me to go forward, Like 316 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:17.319 I didn't want to leave New York ever, but then 317 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:20.319 I was kind of excited to get to LA because 318 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.480 a number of things happened that really got me juiced up. 319 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.079 And I don't think I've been through all these things, 320 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:28.880 but for one, Howard Stern, who I got very close to, obviously, 321 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:31.440 had just bought the rights to something, some kind of book, 322 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.759 and he'd paired up with this TV producer named Craig 323 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:39.039 Poligian who's a monster, done a bunch of stuff on TV. 324 00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:42.160 This is over twenty years ago, but he was still 325 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.680 the guy to meet back then. So as I'm getting 326 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.599 settled in Hollywood, Howard calls me and says, look, I 327 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.279 got something going on. I bought the rights d blah 328 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:52.200 blah blah blah book. I'm gonna make it a show 329 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.440 and we're gonna shoot a sizzle reel. I want you 330 00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.799 to host it because I was like, I don't know 331 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.240 how much they're gonna want to be out here. Yeah, 332 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.559 you got something, you know, Because Howld I used to 333 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:04.519 talk about, we'd write letters to each other. We call. 334 00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:07.000 After I had to get fired from that show, how 335 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.279 was very supportive to me, called me you okay, man, 336 00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:11.160 how you doing man? I love you. I missed you 337 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:13.519 on the show. But it wasn't my decision. That went 338 00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:15.640 on for weeks, and I'm like, of course, it's I 339 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.160 get it, man, don't worry about it. And he said, 340 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:20.400 I got something for you in my back pocket. Just 341 00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:22.759 stay calm. I'm gonna come back here. And he did. 342 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:27.039 But then before he did, there was a big problem. 343 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:30.759 Apparently Craig Poligion shot the Sizzle role behind his back. 344 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:34.319 I wasn't included because Poligion didn't know who I was. Anyhow, 345 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:37.359 Howard and him split. He wanted nothing to do with Poligion, 346 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.599 so there went that opportunity. Then when things really the 347 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:43.839 first thing that really kicked into gear for me was 348 00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:47.079 that when New York Magazine wrote that cover story on me, 349 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.039 and a lot of things in my life went crazy. 350 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:51.880 But one of the good things that happened was this 351 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:58.880 Hollywood producer named Beverly Cammy Cimhe she loved this story 352 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:03.799 written about me for New York Magazine, and she optioned 353 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:06.960 the piece and had plans to make my story a movie. 354 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.039 And she was motivated by the fact because years earlier 355 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.839 she just missed out on optioning another story that was 356 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.359 written in New York Magazine, written by a guy named 357 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.559 Nick Cohen, and it was called the Tribal Rights of 358 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:26.480 the New Saturday Night doesn't probably sound familiar, but that 359 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.359 article was about a young working class Italian kid in 360 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.920 bens and Urst, Brooklyn, my hometown, who spent this night's 361 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.240 dancing at a local disco called two thousand and one. 362 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.920 Obviously that was Saturday Night Fever. So she flipped from 363 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:46.160 my article contacted the writer asked about optioning it for 364 00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:49.799 a movie. But a guy that beat her to the 365 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.559 punch for this article about the kid who dances in Brooklyn. 366 00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:57.920 That's Robert Stigwood. He got it first, he purchased the 367 00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:01.440 film rights. He beat Beverly Cami, and he turned that 368 00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:06.000 into Saturday Night Fever, and then the director changed the 369 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.960 title from it was just Saturday Night. Then it became 370 00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.319 Saturday Night Fever after the Beg's gave the soundtrack and 371 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:16.319 it included the song night Fever that I've heard from 372 00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:20.079 the documentary I saw on the BEG. So I'm feeling 373 00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:24.119 a bit high on myself when the article hit. I 374 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:26.480 met this young guy in New York City who's like 375 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.000 tracking me down, and when he finally called up to me, 376 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.200 he's like out of breath. And basically it's like, you're 377 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.920 a j Benzon. Yeah, my mother's a producer. She loved 378 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:37.920 the article about you in New York Magazine. She wants 379 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.200 to turn it into a movie. I said, did that 380 00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.240 be great? And he said, look, we're gonna fly you 381 00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:46.079 out to LA have meeting with my mother. I'm like, 382 00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:49.000 your mother's gonna fly out to New York, you'll fly 383 00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:51.240 me out to LA either one. I said, well, toll 384 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.920 he come here. He's like, yeah, she will. She's serious. 385 00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:58.039 I go, okay, she's this crazy for the story. And 386 00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.319 I meet her and she tells me, listen to me. 387 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.240 Not since I read the article in New York Magazine 388 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.160 that became Saturday Night Fever, have I wanted to option 389 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:09.440 the story this badly. I think this story can be 390 00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:12.920 bigger than that. And by the time she got to me, 391 00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:16.319 I had to tell her, you know youugh. Hefner had 392 00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:19.319 already optioned the story rights, and he had six months 393 00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.119 to see if he could get anything done with respect 394 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.359 to attaching a director and getting funding and shit like that. 395 00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:28.640 I said, after six months, it's yours. But you know, 396 00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:31.119 you get you get hooked when you hear stuff like 397 00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:34.000 that about these big players who like your property. And 398 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.400 want to make you a star. So I'm walking around 399 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:42.759 knowing that, okay, maybe Bev Camy' another ace up my sleeve. 400 00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:47.720 Six months comes and goes. I'm expecting Beverley Camey to 401 00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.839
