You guys 8 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.119 heard Tutsi on the on the podcast yesterday. I spent 9 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.479 a wonderful night with her. Uh went down to get 10 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:43.920 a chef's board down at the restaurant downstairs. Not twenty 11 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.359 something dollars, but it's all for shoot though on it. 12 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.560 You know good cheeses, some salami, you know, things like 13 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.799 that that are really tech. And Tutsi and Gizmo Gizzy 14 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.880 wasn't here, but Tutsi's always loved that meat board because 15 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.920 she just loves meat, and she's been eating so healthy 16 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.280 at Andrea's house. I figured take her on a date 17 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.120 and give her some of that good old Italian stuff. 18 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.920 And we got there and she just wasn't in the mood. 19 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.599 And I said, you know what, I'm just gonna get 20 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.799 a sal bringing upstairs, and I got her some grilled 21 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.599 chicken and that was fine, and you know, it's been 22 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.200 so long since I've actually had her for a day 23 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.480 or so. It was great. But then, you know what, 24 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:31.159 five fifteen in the morning, I wake up, for whatever reason, 25 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.560 I look and she's sitting up in bed staring at me, 26 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.640 not scratching me, just staring at me. And I make 27 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:39.400 believe I don't see it. We've all done it with 28 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.000 our dogs, as if to say, I'm going back to bed, 29 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.239 and so are you. I wake up again ten minutes later, 30 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.959 still staring. Now she's closer. It's like one of those 31 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.400 paint things in a horror movie. There was a TV 32 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.439 show when I was a kid called Night Gallery. Oh 33 00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:56.640 my god. It was so scary. It was like a 34 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.359 Twilight Zone kind of show. Every week, you know, they'd 35 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:05.120 have these eight short half hour you know, scary scenarios. 36 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.759 And there was this one episode where this woman had 37 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.879 a painting in her house of her house right and 38 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.240 I s old watercolor of her old house on the hill, 39 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.479 what have you. And then one night she wakes up 40 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.759 in a start. She's crossing the painting in her foyer 41 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:25.960 and she looks at it, and now there's a man 42 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.560 in the painting, and he's at the bottom of the hill. 43 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.960 She thinks she's crazy, telling her friends. The friends look, 44 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.639 the man's not there. When she's home alone, the man's there. 45 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:36.960 The next night she goes to bed, she wakes up. 46 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.719 The man's closer. The third night, the man is knocking 47 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:42.840 at the door, and suddenly she hears the knock of 48 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.240 the door. It was very scary. I must have been 49 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.840 ten years old. I don't remember how it ended. I 50 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.840 feel like Darren mcgaffn was in it. Maybe I'm wrong. 51 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.680 I was wrong about weird Al Yankovich should sing like 52 00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.879 a surgeon about Madonna. I didn't. Somebody reminded me he's 53 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.159 sang that nineteen eighty five, forty years ago. It slipped 54 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.879 my mind. I don't remember that, but maybe that was 55 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.199 stuck in the cobwebs of my mind when I said it. 56 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.159 So my bed, But she's sitting up staring at me, 57 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:17.840 and finally at five dirty So let's you want to 58 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.719 go peep outside once the dog hears you wanna. She 59 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.840 knows what the rest of the sentence is, you want 60 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.479 to go peep outside? She knows put everything on her. 61 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.319 We go downstairs, she does her business and it's called 62 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.039 out in Nevada at five thirty am. But she does 63 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.159 her business. Then she wants to sniff everything and act 64 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.240 like she's the King of Aria, the Queen of Aria. 65 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.280 I get it back in the room, and then she 66 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.360 went back down for a few hours. But yeah, it 67 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.719 was great to be with her, really great. I also 68 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.840 want to mention something, and I'm not I'm not saying 69 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.479 this with any anger or any kind of retribution, but 70 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.680 one of my patrons who's been following me since my 71 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.960 New York City day, so I love her. She's always 72 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.680 on the page. She always enjoys herself and says things 73 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.120 about the show. And this is not to cast dispersions, 74 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.159 but she did mention today on the Patreon page, Aja, 75 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.479 you know, I wish you'd find some peace and calm. 76 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.439 I'm not here to hear these stories. I really wish 77 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.240 you'd find some peace. When I first read it, I said, 78 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.959 God damn it, Like, can't anybody understand that I'm just 79 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.959 so brutally honest about my life, the ups, the downs, 80 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.040 the all arounds. I don't pull any punches, and you 81 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.079 can read me like a cheap paperback at the beach, 82 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.680 and I make it so you can do that. You 83 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.920 know what, I'm pissed. You know what, I'm happy. You 84 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.800 know when there's a storm on the horizon. Now, I'm 85 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.600 not gonna get into it, because all these stories that 86 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.120 I'm dealing with in my soul and heart are not 87 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.040 only my stories to tell. I gotta sit on them, 88 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.800 but they still affect me as a human being, and 89 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.519 sometimes that can come out in a show where I'm 90 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:55.879 a little bit more anger driven, more emotional. You know. Listen, 91 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:57.959 you know you guys know me. It's been almost eight years. 92 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:02.079 You know who I am. There's no secret, there's no surprise. 93 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.160 Do you know Joe Rugan's wife's name, No, his kids, No. 94 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.439 And listen, that's his prerogative. You know everything about my life. 95 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.360 And I like it that way. Not everybody in my 96 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.079 life likes it that way, but I do. So I 97 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.800 wrote her a letter saying, listen, you know there's a 98 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.680 lot of things going on that I can't tell, so 99 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.319 just bear with me. Blah blah blah. I wrote her. 100 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.000 I said, look, I don't want you to leave. I 101 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.079 love your loyalty, but please, there's sometimes there are things 102 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:31.079 brewing like I didn't even say this, right. I go 103 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.879 downstairs to get an uber at the bottom of Aria, 104 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.480 and there are enterprising people who come with their car 105 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.519 and go to the uber area hoping that someone's Uber 106 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.560 didn't show up, and they're in a hurry, and they'll 107 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.079 ask a complete stranger for a ride, even though he's 108 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.000 not Uber or lyft. So'm I sit in this. I 109 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.560 can't make this. I took a picture to make sure 110 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.439 you guys believe me. I get this uber. When I 111 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.439 sit in the car, the lady goes, I'm not making fun, 112 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.319 but she said, well you se curate code. I said, 113 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.720 oh my god, I gotta I gotta do. I said, 114 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:18.360 nineteen twentyn what one nine two zero? And she's pointing 115 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:22.120 at her ears. Second deaf Uber driver I've had in 116 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.000 the last four years. I didn't get mad. Look, she's 117 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:26.879 trying to work. And actually the rest of the ride 118 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.160 we spoke. She was a truck driver, a cross country 119 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.800 all forty eight states. I take my hat off to 120 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.040 this woman. She ain't young either, She's like fifty eight 121 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.279 fifty nine. Man, that's a lot of hard work. But 122 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.480 to be an uber driver get this on her second 123 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:46.120 day doesn't know directions, asking me where do I go? 124 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.560 I said, han, I really don't pay attention when I 125 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.759 go to this office or this studio, but I can 126 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.800 kind of get you there. I had to kind of 127 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.279 get her there. Before we leave. There's a car blocking 128 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.279 two lanes of traffic and it's like a semi circle 129 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.040 outside of a whole. Tell you know what it looks like. 130 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.160 And people are honking. This guy's not moving. Nobody can move. 131 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.759 Six Uber drivers can't move, and no one's doing anything. Now, 132 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.279 about twenty yards to my left, there's like an altercation 133 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:17.120 with somebody that Metro Las Vegas police are there, playing 134 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.720 clothes guys and shit. So I said to the lady, 135 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.839 hold on, I'll put it into this. I go to 136 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.040 the guy in front of us, who's not moving his 137 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.319 car and blocking everybody, and I tap on his window. 138 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.800 I say, hey, man, you gotta move, bro, you're blocking 139 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.480 two lanes. People gotta go to work. We got things 140 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.680 to do. I'm a little animated. No cursing, no putting 141 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.240 him down, just going just move the car, bro, you 142 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.360 can't stay here. Okay. He finally moves. I get back 143 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.240 in the Uber. We're stuck at the red light. Can't 144 00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.360 make it right on red, I gotta tap on my window. 145 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.279 It's a cop playing clothes with the fucking shield hanging 146 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.759 out of a sweatshirt. Hey, what's your problem, I said, 147 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.439 not the officer. The guy was just he wasn't moving. 148 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.480 He's not even an uber driver. He can't be down 149 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.560 here trying to get fares. That's not right. But you 150 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.639 hit his window, you punched it. I said, I didn't 151 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.839 punch it, so I tapped it with my knuckle. That's 152 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.959 an arrestable offence, I said, officer. Listen, I'm from cops. 153 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.720 I'm sorry, I'm late, but this guy's not moving. He 154 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:14.879 should be more in trouble than me. He's not allowed 155 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.199 to be here looking for rids. Then the guy goes 156 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.560 aj Benza. I says, yeah, oh I watched your poker show. 157 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.560 I said, oh, well, I'm late for it, all right, listen. 158 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.600 Then he got really uh aj. Look. Then the Italian 159 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.759 came out of him. Listen, I know you got odd. 160 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.279 You to calm down. Everybody's got work to do. I said, 161 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.039 I get it, But my man, the guy shouldn't be here, okay, 162 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.399 but don't tap on windows. That's an arrestable offence. All right, 163 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:45.960 I'm sorry, he let us go. Jesus Christ. So the 164 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.639 patron wrote me, aj find peace and calm. You're right. 165 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.600 Still haven't found it yet, But I still think I 166 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.200 was in the right by telling I got to move 167 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:57.960 his fucking car. That's all I just do. I do, 168 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.200 just like I'm in the right with that cerebral palsy. 169 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.799 A person who got her double mestectomy. One of my 170 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.879 patron's wife has been a nurse in that field with 171 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:17.440 you know, handicapped miners or children, and blah blah blah. 172 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:21.279 And she says, this doesn't seem right. He can't this 173 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:25.279 person can't communicate. This girl can't communicate. She communicates with 174 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:29.120 a message board like Stephen Hawking, Like that should not 175 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:33.559 be enough for doctors to perform that surgery. So I 176 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.600 feel I'm right again. You know, you can't just lop 177 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:40.919 off someone's breasts because they said so through a message board, 178 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.879 you know what. Anyhow, I'm not man, I'm just trying 179 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.519 to tell you where my life is at certain points. Okay, 180 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:51.919 let's move on. Anthony Mackie. This kid, I thought I 181 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.759 was gonna just go Banana Zova because of what he said. 182 00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.399 The actor Anthony Mackie. He's the new Captain Americain America 183 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:05.879 is now black, Okay. The movie's called Captain America Brave 184 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:09.039 New World. And he had a quote that went viral 185 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:14.039 the other day about what Captain America represents and basically 186 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.679 he was saying, it doesn't really necessarily mean just America. 187 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.960 So people were banging that quote around like crazy, and 188 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:25.759 he said something that I didn't think was really I 189 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:31.240 think it was tacky. He said in Italy promoting the film, 190 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.240 Captain America represents a lot of different things, and I 191 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:39.480 don't think the term America should be one of those representations. Really. 192 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.399 His name is Captain America. Is that it's about a 193 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.080 man who keeps his word, who has honored dignity and 194 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.480 integrity and American but whatever. He don't want to talk 195 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.840 about that. But I think people got in his ear 196 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.399 because later on he made another post that said, I'm 197 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.000 a proud American and taking on the shield of a 198 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.879 hero like CAP is the honor of lifetime. I have 199 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.240 the utmost respect for those who serve and have served 200 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:07.679 our country. CAP has universal characteristics that people all over 201 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.559 the world can relate to. Good. I'm glad he found 202 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.279 his smart footing. But then I did some research and 203 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.639 I found out that the first Captain America, Chris Evans, 204 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:24.279 kind of said the same thing back in twenty eleven, 205 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.519 and this, you know, this got by me. I wasn't 206 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.039 doing the podcast back then, but he said. They asked 207 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.120 Chris Evans, what does it mean to you? He said, well, 208 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.519 I'm not trying to get too lost in the American 209 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.879 side of it. This isn't a flag waving movie. It's red, white, 210 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:41.799 and blue. But it just so happens that the character 211 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.639 was created in America during wartime when there was a 212 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.639 common enemy. Even though it is Captain America. I've said 213 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:51.200 before and interviews, it feels more like he should just 214 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:56.879 be called Captain Good. All right. You know, look, man, 215 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.559 if you go further back, because I ready to go 216 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:06.279 bananas over Anthony Mackie, what happened here? Massive emergency responds 217 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:11.879 DC fire, small airplane crashes at Reagan Airport. Okay, I 218 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:14.480 gotta keep politics on all day because there's so many 219 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.720 things Trump is doing. I can't take it right. Kennedy 220 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:22.919 getting roasted by the by the Senate. It's been crazy today, 221 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.840 but I'm here for it. But you go back and 222 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.360 look at what the actual comic said. You go, wait 223 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.879 a minute, maybe Anthony Mackie and Chris Evans aren't that wrong. 224 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:38.480 And then because there's an example from way back when 225 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.200 where Captain America says in a comic, listen to me, 226 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.159 all of you out there, you were told by this 227 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.679 man you're a hero, that America is the greatest country 228 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.879 in the world. He told you that Americans were the 229 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.600 greatest people, that America could be refined like silver, could 230 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.759 have the impurities hammered out of it and shine more brightly. 231 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.000 And he went on about how precious America was, how 232 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.120 you needed to make sure it remained great, and he 233 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.120 told you anything was justified to preserve that pearl, the 234 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.600 great price that is America. And then he said, well, 235 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.480 I say America is nothing without its ideals, its commitment 236 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.120 to freedom of all men. America is a piece of trash, 237 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.440 a nation of nothing. A flag is a piece of cloth. 238 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.159 My god, I fought Adolf Hitler not because America was great, 239 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:25.759 and because it was fragile. It's a very good point. 240 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:28.799 I gotta admit. I knew that liberty could be easily 241 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.200 snuffed out here, as in Nazi Germany as a people, 242 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.440 we were no different than them. When I returned, I 243 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.519 saw that you nearly did turn America into nothing. Now 244 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.679 you gotta ask yourself if Anthony Mackie, a black actor, 245 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:48.440 had said that, Wow, there'd be a firestorm. All Mackie 246 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.960 is doing is kind of reiterating that same sentiment about 247 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:58.559 that character. And you know, initially I was ticked off 248 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:02.519 about the way that looks so many people with this 249 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:06.600 anti America sentiment that I thought, why is this guy 250 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.320 who's so lucky to be an actor? Just what a 251 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.960 wonderful life, you know, and he's got to talk like this. 252 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:19.159 But if you go deep into the story, you'll realize 253 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:23.759 that it isn't exactly what it sounded like. Okay, what 254 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:27.200 I do have an issue with is I don't think 255 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:32.879 Captain America should be black. I don't look if other heroes, 256 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:38.759 superheroes like Cyborg, Luke, Cage Storm, or Blade, who were 257 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:42.320 all black, if they were suddenly cast with white actors, 258 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.600 they'd be hell to pay from black Hollywood. First of all, 259 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.240 Hollywood is too chicken shit to even attempt to do that. 260 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.720 So don't bite my ass if I say the superheroes 261 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.919 who we created many decades ago as white superheroes. I 262 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.679 think they should remain white. I'm a writer. If I 263 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.960 write a book about me and my gay cousin Gino, 264 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.159 and many years later you make Geno black, No, that's 265 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.919 not the sentiment. You can't do that, just like you 266 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.279 can't change the statue of the guys planning the flag 267 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.759 at Iwo Jima. But they went ahead and did that, 268 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.840 and that, in my opinion, led to so much DEI nonsense, 269 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.840 an affirmative action bullshit. And that's why Trump is erasing 270 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.480 all of it because it's not true. It's a false 271 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.440 way of living. It's a lie. If there were no 272 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:33.799 Asians on top of that hill, don't put an Asian 273 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:36.679 on the hill man in the statue, don't do it. 274 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:42.200 That's a piece of art. What's next, Mona Lisa should 275 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.639 have an afro? What are we doing? It's art. Whether 276 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.720 it's a superhero movie or a paint thing that's hanging 277 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.159 in the louver, it's the same thing. Man can't change it, 278 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.759 and it's not racist to say that. Look, I got 279 00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:59.279 no issue with the black president. I voted for the 280 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.440 guy the first time. But I don't think there should 281 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.519 be a Black Captain America. I'm not going to watch 282 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.320 the movie. It's not racist, It's just I like things 283 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:13.320 to stay in the original way the artist created them. 284 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.879 Let me also ring in a little bit with this 285 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.120 Baldoni Justin Baldoni Blake Live stuff, because you know it's 286 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.279 every day in the papers. It's not going to go away. 287 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.000 Christ The trial has not even set for the twenty 288 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.679 twenty six. But as I told you, there's not going 289 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.360 to be a trial. These folks will all settle because 290 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:38.840 this is nonsense. It's nonsense. But there's now regurgitation of 291 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.960 old texts and different sorts of things that we're seeing 292 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:47.279 between Baldoni and Blake Lively. And if you look at 293 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.320 the early exchanges between the two, they had a friendly 294 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:54.519 working relationship before things took on a very bad turn. 295 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.360 In that movie, it ends with us. If you haven't 296 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.200 seen it yet, yeah, you should see it. Like I 297 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.879 said the other day with the whole you know, domestic 298 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.480 violence angle, you should see it because there's too many 299 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.160 guys out there who you know, you just can't do 300 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.000 that sort of thing. And I was honest enough to 301 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:17.000 tell you all I've been there, not punching, not throwing 302 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.599 someone down the stairs. But I've been that guy in 303 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:23.240 my youth who would grab somebody whatever. Just a fucking 304 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:25.279 stupid way to live your life. And it's not right 305 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:28.599 and I can't unsee it. So I watched it. I 306 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.119 think you all should too, because even though you may 307 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:34.039 not have done those things, I bet you thought of it. 308 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.880 I bet it flash across your head. Either way, it's 309 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.799 not the point. The point is since the suit was 310 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:46.160 filed by Blake Lively for two hundred and about fifty million, 311 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.039 and then Baldoni counted with a four hundred million dollar suit. 312 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:52.640 Since then, we've seen a bunch of texts and emails 313 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.000 that was sent between the two. You go way back 314 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:58.839 to twenty twenty three in the spring, and they were 315 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:02.480 constantly communicating, these two And this is the part of 316 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.400 being a big star, or even being married to a 317 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:09.440 big star that you got to put up with in Hollywood, 318 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.759 not just the love scene that we see in the theater. 319 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:14.680 You go, Christ, how could my God, it's got to 320 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.160 be tough to be married to that beautiful actress and 321 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:21.240 have this guy, you know, fake having fake sex with 322 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:25.079 their and this is God, it's got it's hard to 323 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.799 just like how was work today, Honey, today was a 324 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:31.359 love scene. They know. They circle that on their calendars. 325 00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:34.200 They know when it's coming up, and so do their mates. 326 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:39.839 Either way, these two were talking left and right, sharing stories, 327 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:44.440 sharing pictures of themselves different parts of their lives, commiserating 328 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:47.440 over whose family had somebody sick in it. They were 329 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:53.440 sending jokes to each other, memes you know, and Lively 330 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:55.599 wrote at one point, it's such a good feeling to 331 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.839 get work done that we're proud of, and to do 332 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:01.759 it together. It just clicks when we find it, and 333 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:04.200 that's just as rewarding as filming it or editing it 334 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.839 or marketing it or releasing it. This is all storytelling. 335 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.200 This is why we do it. And then she thanked 336 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.119 Justin Baldoni for his quote collaboration, saying that she was 337 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:19.480 quote really proud of what they're doing. Now you've seen 338 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:25.039 some screenshots they're being released at nauseum that show Baldoni 339 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:28.480 loved the message and wrote back, I like sentimental Blake, 340 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:32.160 and she wrote back, never met her, and then he 341 00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:36.799 said I also like asshole Blake. Don't worry, and then 342 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.720 she ended the exchange in a very self deprecating manner 343 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:45.079 by saying I've met her some of my suppositories. Okay, Look, 344 00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:49.640 two people excited to be young and rich and famous 345 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.680 and making a movie, both feeling happy and lucky just 346 00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.119 to be alive and be so fortunate. You can get 347 00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.240 high standing next to people like that as I have. 348 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:04.359 What I've been in movies with major, major people. It's catching. 349 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.279 And before the first day of filming, Blake messaged Baldoni 350 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:13.319 to say how grateful she was that what they built 351 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:15.799 so far, and she said, I'm so excited at the 352 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.880 start tomorrow, but it's only one piece of the journey 353 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.640 offungoul of the journey we started months ago. She wrote, 354 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:24.839 thank you for caring so much about me, for putting 355 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:28.039 every bit of you into showing it, and he praised 356 00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:33.599 her back. And this is where look, man, it's this 357 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.319 some flirting going on. He wrote back, I'm not going 358 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.000 to tell you that you're amazing because you tease me 359 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:43.920 for being so sentimental, but you were amazing today. I'm sorry, 360 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:47.880 that's a flirt alert. Ladies. What do you think, guys, 361 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:50.279 what do you want your wife getting that text? I mean, 362 00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:53.599 if you marry an actress who's beautiful, that's gonna happen. 363 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.039 It's part of the territory. But still, she wrote back, 364 00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:59.880 thank you. I do appreciate it. I'm just a bull, 365 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.160 but it means a lot to me. I care a 366 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.319 great deal and always want to deliver. And again he says, 367 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:07.720 you were terrific. I'm proud of everything we did today. 368 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:13.559 But really, every day these two go back and forth. Meanwhile, 369 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:16.720 she claims in this suit that he sexually harassed her 370 00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:21.319 on set and those intimate scenes, that frigging scene and 371 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:24.319 the rooftop which I highlighted, and she said it made 372 00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.519 her feel uncomfortable on more than one occasion with his 373 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:33.000 sexually suggestive remarks. I'd say, you know my suppositive. I 374 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.480 suppos that's kind of not sexual, but it's suggestive. It 375 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:40.680 was going back and forth. But this rooftop scene, which 376 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:43.359 I said the other day was the phony scene of 377 00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:48.039 all time. Early on, Blake Lively said she wrote that scene, 378 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.359 and now we've come to find out that her husband, 379 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:54.079 Ryan Reynolds wrote that scene. And now that I think 380 00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.799 of it, if you've seen the movie, the lines she 381 00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.319 says sounded an awful lot like she was speaking as 382 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:03.680 if she was dead. Really, especially that dumb line I 383 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.839 told you guys about I read somewhere that Maraschino Cherry 384 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:09.680 is staying your system for seven years or they close cancer. 385 00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:14.200 I forget. Can't you see Bata boy Ryan Reynolds saying 386 00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:17.240 that and thinking, I just came out with a brilliant line. 387 00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:19.960 I got a brilliant line. Now I got my phone 388 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.359 call my phone commercial. That's who he is. He's very breathy. 389 00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:26.240 He says things like this. That's not gonna come out 390 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.000 of a woman on a rooftop meeting a stranger. But 391 00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:34.039 I heard some audio of Justin Baldoni leaving Blake a 392 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.319 message in like one point thirty two am. Excuse me, 393 00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:41.599 there comes a point where there's no more phone calls. 394 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.119 We'll talk again tomorrow. I don't like that shit. When 395 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:47.119 I dated an actress years ago, I told you I 396 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.359 come home and after six o'clock at night, the work 397 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:51.279 day is over. I don't want to hear about your 398 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.960 got season, your additions. You can't sit there at dinner 399 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.359 and clamor on about how it went and how you 400 00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:01.599 think you did. It's over. Let it go go out 401 00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:03.960
