Speaker 1: From Workhouse Connect and aj Benze fame. Uh. He liked
Speaker 1: to be walked on a leash and play really dirty
Speaker 1: kinky sex games. Is uh the guy put the cock
Speaker 1: in the Peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody aj Benzi
Speaker 1: here with fame, is it? Bitch? This is your daily
Speaker 1: Unfiltered podcast for January thirtieth, twenty twenty five. Were almost done.
Speaker 1: Oh one, three oh two, oh two five. You guys
Speaker 1: heard Tutsi on the on the podcast yesterday. I spent
Speaker 1: a wonderful night with her. Uh went down to get
Speaker 1: a chef's board down at the restaurant downstairs. Not twenty
Speaker 1: something dollars, but it's all for shoot though on it.
Speaker 1: You know good cheeses, some salami, you know, things like
Speaker 1: that that are really tech. And Tutsi and Gizmo Gizzy
Speaker 1: wasn't here, but Tutsi's always loved that meat board because
Speaker 1: she just loves meat, and she's been eating so healthy
Speaker 1: at Andrea's house. I figured take her on a date
Speaker 1: and give her some of that good old Italian stuff.
Speaker 1: And we got there and she just wasn't in the mood.
Speaker 1: And I said, you know what, I'm just gonna get
Speaker 1: a sal bringing upstairs, and I got her some grilled
Speaker 1: chicken and that was fine, and you know, it's been
Speaker 1: so long since I've actually had her for a day
Speaker 1: or so. It was great. But then, you know what,
Speaker 1: five fifteen in the morning, I wake up, for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: I look and she's sitting up in bed staring at me,
Speaker 1: not scratching me, just staring at me. And I make
Speaker 1: believe I don't see it. We've all done it with
Speaker 1: our dogs, as if to say, I'm going back to bed,
Speaker 1: and so are you. I wake up again ten minutes later,
Speaker 1: still staring. Now she's closer. It's like one of those
Speaker 1: paint things in a horror movie. There was a TV
Speaker 1: show when I was a kid called Night Gallery. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. It was so scary. It was like a
Speaker 1: Twilight Zone kind of show. Every week, you know, they'd
Speaker 1: have these eight short half hour you know, scary scenarios.
Speaker 1: And there was this one episode where this woman had
Speaker 1: a painting in her house of her house right and
Speaker 1: I s old watercolor of her old house on the hill,
Speaker 1: what have you. And then one night she wakes up
Speaker 1: in a start. She's crossing the painting in her foyer
Speaker 1: and she looks at it, and now there's a man
Speaker 1: in the painting, and he's at the bottom of the hill.
Speaker 1: She thinks she's crazy, telling her friends. The friends look,
Speaker 1: the man's not there. When she's home alone, the man's there.
Speaker 1: The next night she goes to bed, she wakes up.
Speaker 1: The man's closer. The third night, the man is knocking
Speaker 1: at the door, and suddenly she hears the knock of
Speaker 1: the door. It was very scary. I must have been
Speaker 1: ten years old. I don't remember how it ended. I
Speaker 1: feel like Darren mcgaffn was in it. Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I was wrong about weird Al Yankovich should sing like
Speaker 1: a surgeon about Madonna. I didn't. Somebody reminded me he's
Speaker 1: sang that nineteen eighty five, forty years ago. It slipped
Speaker 1: my mind. I don't remember that, but maybe that was
Speaker 1: stuck in the cobwebs of my mind when I said it.
Speaker 1: So my bed, But she's sitting up staring at me,
Speaker 1: and finally at five dirty So let's you want to
Speaker 1: go peep outside once the dog hears you wanna. She
Speaker 1: knows what the rest of the sentence is, you want
Speaker 1: to go peep outside? She knows put everything on her.
Speaker 1: We go downstairs, she does her business and it's called
Speaker 1: out in Nevada at five thirty am. But she does
Speaker 1: her business. Then she wants to sniff everything and act
Speaker 1: like she's the King of Aria, the Queen of Aria.
Speaker 1: I get it back in the room, and then she
Speaker 1: went back down for a few hours. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: was great to be with her, really great. I also
Speaker 1: want to mention something, and I'm not I'm not saying
Speaker 1: this with any anger or any kind of retribution, but
Speaker 1: one of my patrons who's been following me since my
Speaker 1: New York City day, so I love her. She's always
Speaker 1: on the page. She always enjoys herself and says things
Speaker 1: about the show. And this is not to cast dispersions,
Speaker 1: but she did mention today on the Patreon page, Aja,
Speaker 1: you know, I wish you'd find some peace and calm.
Speaker 1: I'm not here to hear these stories. I really wish
Speaker 1: you'd find some peace. When I first read it, I said,
Speaker 1: God damn it, Like, can't anybody understand that I'm just
Speaker 1: so brutally honest about my life, the ups, the downs,
Speaker 1: the all arounds. I don't pull any punches, and you
Speaker 1: can read me like a cheap paperback at the beach,
Speaker 1: and I make it so you can do that. You
Speaker 1: know what, I'm pissed. You know what, I'm happy. You
Speaker 1: know when there's a storm on the horizon. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna get into it, because all these stories that
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with in my soul and heart are not
Speaker 1: only my stories to tell. I gotta sit on them,
Speaker 1: but they still affect me as a human being, and
Speaker 1: sometimes that can come out in a show where I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit more anger driven, more emotional. You know. Listen,
Speaker 1: you know you guys know me. It's been almost eight years.
Speaker 1: You know who I am. There's no secret, there's no surprise.
Speaker 1: Do you know Joe Rugan's wife's name, No, his kids, No.
Speaker 1: And listen, that's his prerogative. You know everything about my life.
Speaker 1: And I like it that way. Not everybody in my
Speaker 1: life likes it that way, but I do. So I
Speaker 1: wrote her a letter saying, listen, you know there's a
Speaker 1: lot of things going on that I can't tell, so
Speaker 1: just bear with me. Blah blah blah. I wrote her.
Speaker 1: I said, look, I don't want you to leave. I
Speaker 1: love your loyalty, but please, there's sometimes there are things
Speaker 1: brewing like I didn't even say this, right. I go
Speaker 1: downstairs to get an uber at the bottom of Aria,
Speaker 1: and there are enterprising people who come with their car
Speaker 1: and go to the uber area hoping that someone's Uber
Speaker 1: didn't show up, and they're in a hurry, and they'll
Speaker 1: ask a complete stranger for a ride, even though he's
Speaker 1: not Uber or lyft. So'm I sit in this. I
Speaker 1: can't make this. I took a picture to make sure
Speaker 1: you guys believe me. I get this uber. When I
Speaker 1: sit in the car, the lady goes, I'm not making fun,
Speaker 1: but she said, well you se curate code. I said,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I gotta I gotta do. I said,
Speaker 1: nineteen twentyn what one nine two zero? And she's pointing
Speaker 1: at her ears. Second deaf Uber driver I've had in
Speaker 1: the last four years. I didn't get mad. Look, she's
Speaker 1: trying to work. And actually the rest of the ride
Speaker 1: we spoke. She was a truck driver, a cross country
Speaker 1: all forty eight states. I take my hat off to
Speaker 1: this woman. She ain't young either, She's like fifty eight
Speaker 1: fifty nine. Man, that's a lot of hard work. But
Speaker 1: to be an uber driver get this on her second
Speaker 1: day doesn't know directions, asking me where do I go?
Speaker 1: I said, han, I really don't pay attention when I
Speaker 1: go to this office or this studio, but I can
Speaker 1: kind of get you there. I had to kind of
Speaker 1: get her there. Before we leave. There's a car blocking
Speaker 1: two lanes of traffic and it's like a semi circle
Speaker 1: outside of a whole. Tell you know what it looks like.
Speaker 1: And people are honking. This guy's not moving. Nobody can move.
Speaker 1: Six Uber drivers can't move, and no one's doing anything. Now,
Speaker 1: about twenty yards to my left, there's like an altercation
Speaker 1: with somebody that Metro Las Vegas police are there, playing
Speaker 1: clothes guys and shit. So I said to the lady,
Speaker 1: hold on, I'll put it into this. I go to
Speaker 1: the guy in front of us, who's not moving his
Speaker 1: car and blocking everybody, and I tap on his window.
Speaker 1: I say, hey, man, you gotta move, bro, you're blocking
Speaker 1: two lanes. People gotta go to work. We got things
Speaker 1: to do. I'm a little animated. No cursing, no putting
Speaker 1: him down, just going just move the car, bro, you
Speaker 1: can't stay here. Okay. He finally moves. I get back
Speaker 1: in the Uber. We're stuck at the red light. Can't
Speaker 1: make it right on red, I gotta tap on my window.
Speaker 1: It's a cop playing clothes with the fucking shield hanging
Speaker 1: out of a sweatshirt. Hey, what's your problem, I said,
Speaker 1: not the officer. The guy was just he wasn't moving.
Speaker 1: He's not even an uber driver. He can't be down
Speaker 1: here trying to get fares. That's not right. But you
Speaker 1: hit his window, you punched it. I said, I didn't
Speaker 1: punch it, so I tapped it with my knuckle. That's
Speaker 1: an arrestable offence, I said, officer. Listen, I'm from cops.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm late, but this guy's not moving. He
Speaker 1: should be more in trouble than me. He's not allowed
Speaker 1: to be here looking for rids. Then the guy goes
Speaker 1: aj Benza. I says, yeah, oh I watched your poker show.
Speaker 1: I said, oh, well, I'm late for it, all right, listen.
Speaker 1: Then he got really uh aj. Look. Then the Italian
Speaker 1: came out of him. Listen, I know you got odd.
Speaker 1: You to calm down. Everybody's got work to do. I said,
Speaker 1: I get it, But my man, the guy shouldn't be here, okay,
Speaker 1: but don't tap on windows. That's an arrestable offence. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he let us go. Jesus Christ. So the
Speaker 1: patron wrote me, aj find peace and calm. You're right.
Speaker 1: Still haven't found it yet, But I still think I
Speaker 1: was in the right by telling I got to move
Speaker 1: his fucking car. That's all I just do. I do,
Speaker 1: just like I'm in the right with that cerebral palsy.
Speaker 1: A person who got her double mestectomy. One of my
Speaker 1: patron's wife has been a nurse in that field with
Speaker 1: you know, handicapped miners or children, and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And she says, this doesn't seem right. He can't this
Speaker 1: person can't communicate. This girl can't communicate. She communicates with
Speaker 1: a message board like Stephen Hawking, Like that should not
Speaker 1: be enough for doctors to perform that surgery. So I
Speaker 1: feel I'm right again. You know, you can't just lop
Speaker 1: off someone's breasts because they said so through a message board,
Speaker 1: you know what. Anyhow, I'm not man, I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to tell you where my life is at certain points. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's move on. Anthony Mackie. This kid, I thought I
Speaker 1: was gonna just go Banana Zova because of what he said.
Speaker 1: The actor Anthony Mackie. He's the new Captain Americain America
Speaker 1: is now black, Okay. The movie's called Captain America Brave
Speaker 1: New World. And he had a quote that went viral
Speaker 1: the other day about what Captain America represents and basically
Speaker 1: he was saying, it doesn't really necessarily mean just America.
Speaker 1: So people were banging that quote around like crazy, and
Speaker 1: he said something that I didn't think was really I
Speaker 1: think it was tacky. He said in Italy promoting the film,
Speaker 1: Captain America represents a lot of different things, and I
Speaker 1: don't think the term America should be one of those representations. Really.
Speaker 1: His name is Captain America. Is that it's about a
Speaker 1: man who keeps his word, who has honored dignity and
Speaker 1: integrity and American but whatever. He don't want to talk
Speaker 1: about that. But I think people got in his ear
Speaker 1: because later on he made another post that said, I'm
Speaker 1: a proud American and taking on the shield of a
Speaker 1: hero like CAP is the honor of lifetime. I have
Speaker 1: the utmost respect for those who serve and have served
Speaker 1: our country. CAP has universal characteristics that people all over
Speaker 1: the world can relate to. Good. I'm glad he found
Speaker 1: his smart footing. But then I did some research and
Speaker 1: I found out that the first Captain America, Chris Evans,
Speaker 1: kind of said the same thing back in twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: and this, you know, this got by me. I wasn't
Speaker 1: doing the podcast back then, but he said. They asked
Speaker 1: Chris Evans, what does it mean to you? He said, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get too lost in the American
Speaker 1: side of it. This isn't a flag waving movie. It's red, white,
Speaker 1: and blue. But it just so happens that the character
Speaker 1: was created in America during wartime when there was a
Speaker 1: common enemy. Even though it is Captain America. I've said
Speaker 1: before and interviews, it feels more like he should just
Speaker 1: be called Captain Good. All right. You know, look, man,
Speaker 1: if you go further back, because I ready to go
Speaker 1: bananas over Anthony Mackie, what happened here? Massive emergency responds
Speaker 1: DC fire, small airplane crashes at Reagan Airport. Okay, I
Speaker 1: gotta keep politics on all day because there's so many
Speaker 1: things Trump is doing. I can't take it right. Kennedy
Speaker 1: getting roasted by the by the Senate. It's been crazy today,
Speaker 1: but I'm here for it. But you go back and
Speaker 1: look at what the actual comic said. You go, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, maybe Anthony Mackie and Chris Evans aren't that wrong.
Speaker 1: And then because there's an example from way back when
Speaker 1: where Captain America says in a comic, listen to me,
Speaker 1: all of you out there, you were told by this
Speaker 1: man you're a hero, that America is the greatest country
Speaker 1: in the world. He told you that Americans were the
Speaker 1: greatest people, that America could be refined like silver, could
Speaker 1: have the impurities hammered out of it and shine more brightly.
Speaker 1: And he went on about how precious America was, how
Speaker 1: you needed to make sure it remained great, and he
Speaker 1: told you anything was justified to preserve that pearl, the
Speaker 1: great price that is America. And then he said, well,
Speaker 1: I say America is nothing without its ideals, its commitment
Speaker 1: to freedom of all men. America is a piece of trash,
Speaker 1: a nation of nothing. A flag is a piece of cloth.
Speaker 1: My god, I fought Adolf Hitler not because America was great,
Speaker 1: and because it was fragile. It's a very good point.
Speaker 1: I gotta admit. I knew that liberty could be easily
Speaker 1: snuffed out here, as in Nazi Germany as a people,
Speaker 1: we were no different than them. When I returned, I
Speaker 1: saw that you nearly did turn America into nothing. Now
Speaker 1: you gotta ask yourself if Anthony Mackie, a black actor,
Speaker 1: had said that, Wow, there'd be a firestorm. All Mackie
Speaker 1: is doing is kind of reiterating that same sentiment about
Speaker 1: that character. And you know, initially I was ticked off
Speaker 1: about the way that looks so many people with this
Speaker 1: anti America sentiment that I thought, why is this guy
Speaker 1: who's so lucky to be an actor? Just what a
Speaker 1: wonderful life, you know, and he's got to talk like this.
Speaker 1: But if you go deep into the story, you'll realize
Speaker 1: that it isn't exactly what it sounded like. Okay, what
Speaker 1: I do have an issue with is I don't think
Speaker 1: Captain America should be black. I don't look if other heroes,
Speaker 1: superheroes like Cyborg, Luke, Cage Storm, or Blade, who were
Speaker 1: all black, if they were suddenly cast with white actors,
Speaker 1: they'd be hell to pay from black Hollywood. First of all,
Speaker 1: Hollywood is too chicken shit to even attempt to do that.
Speaker 1: So don't bite my ass if I say the superheroes
Speaker 1: who we created many decades ago as white superheroes. I
Speaker 1: think they should remain white. I'm a writer. If I
Speaker 1: write a book about me and my gay cousin Gino,
Speaker 1: and many years later you make Geno black, No, that's
Speaker 1: not the sentiment. You can't do that, just like you
Speaker 1: can't change the statue of the guys planning the flag
Speaker 1: at Iwo Jima. But they went ahead and did that,
Speaker 1: and that, in my opinion, led to so much DEI nonsense,
Speaker 1: an affirmative action bullshit. And that's why Trump is erasing
Speaker 1: all of it because it's not true. It's a false
Speaker 1: way of living. It's a lie. If there were no
Speaker 1: Asians on top of that hill, don't put an Asian
Speaker 1: on the hill man in the statue, don't do it.
Speaker 1: That's a piece of art. What's next, Mona Lisa should
Speaker 1: have an afro? What are we doing? It's art. Whether
Speaker 1: it's a superhero movie or a paint thing that's hanging
Speaker 1: in the louver, it's the same thing. Man can't change it,
Speaker 1: and it's not racist to say that. Look, I got
Speaker 1: no issue with the black president. I voted for the
Speaker 1: guy the first time. But I don't think there should
Speaker 1: be a Black Captain America. I'm not going to watch
Speaker 1: the movie. It's not racist, It's just I like things
Speaker 1: to stay in the original way the artist created them.
Speaker 1: Let me also ring in a little bit with this
Speaker 1: Baldoni Justin Baldoni Blake Live stuff, because you know it's
Speaker 1: every day in the papers. It's not going to go away.
Speaker 1: Christ The trial has not even set for the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. But as I told you, there's not going
Speaker 1: to be a trial. These folks will all settle because
Speaker 1: this is nonsense. It's nonsense. But there's now regurgitation of
Speaker 1: old texts and different sorts of things that we're seeing
Speaker 1: between Baldoni and Blake Lively. And if you look at
Speaker 1: the early exchanges between the two, they had a friendly
Speaker 1: working relationship before things took on a very bad turn.
Speaker 1: In that movie, it ends with us. If you haven't
Speaker 1: seen it yet, yeah, you should see it. Like I
Speaker 1: said the other day with the whole you know, domestic
Speaker 1: violence angle, you should see it because there's too many
Speaker 1: guys out there who you know, you just can't do
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. And I was honest enough to
Speaker 1: tell you all I've been there, not punching, not throwing
Speaker 1: someone down the stairs. But I've been that guy in
Speaker 1: my youth who would grab somebody whatever. Just a fucking
Speaker 1: stupid way to live your life. And it's not right
Speaker 1: and I can't unsee it. So I watched it. I
Speaker 1: think you all should too, because even though you may
Speaker 1: not have done those things, I bet you thought of it.
Speaker 1: I bet it flash across your head. Either way, it's
Speaker 1: not the point. The point is since the suit was
Speaker 1: filed by Blake Lively for two hundred and about fifty million,
Speaker 1: and then Baldoni counted with a four hundred million dollar suit.
Speaker 1: Since then, we've seen a bunch of texts and emails
Speaker 1: that was sent between the two. You go way back
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty three in the spring, and they were
Speaker 1: constantly communicating, these two And this is the part of
Speaker 1: being a big star, or even being married to a
Speaker 1: big star that you got to put up with in Hollywood,
Speaker 1: not just the love scene that we see in the theater.
Speaker 1: You go, Christ, how could my God, it's got to
Speaker 1: be tough to be married to that beautiful actress and
Speaker 1: have this guy, you know, fake having fake sex with
Speaker 1: their and this is God, it's got it's hard to
Speaker 1: just like how was work today, Honey, today was a
Speaker 1: love scene. They know. They circle that on their calendars.
Speaker 1: They know when it's coming up, and so do their mates.
Speaker 1: Either way, these two were talking left and right, sharing stories,
Speaker 1: sharing pictures of themselves different parts of their lives, commiserating
Speaker 1: over whose family had somebody sick in it. They were
Speaker 1: sending jokes to each other, memes you know, and Lively
Speaker 1: wrote at one point, it's such a good feeling to
Speaker 1: get work done that we're proud of, and to do
Speaker 1: it together. It just clicks when we find it, and
Speaker 1: that's just as rewarding as filming it or editing it
Speaker 1: or marketing it or releasing it. This is all storytelling.
Speaker 1: This is why we do it. And then she thanked
Speaker 1: Justin Baldoni for his quote collaboration, saying that she was
Speaker 1: quote really proud of what they're doing. Now you've seen
Speaker 1: some screenshots they're being released at nauseum that show Baldoni
Speaker 1: loved the message and wrote back, I like sentimental Blake,
Speaker 1: and she wrote back, never met her, and then he
Speaker 1: said I also like asshole Blake. Don't worry, and then
Speaker 1: she ended the exchange in a very self deprecating manner
Speaker 1: by saying I've met her some of my suppositories. Okay, Look,
Speaker 1: two people excited to be young and rich and famous
Speaker 1: and making a movie, both feeling happy and lucky just
Speaker 1: to be alive and be so fortunate. You can get
Speaker 1: high standing next to people like that as I have.
Speaker 1: What I've been in movies with major, major people. It's catching.
Speaker 1: And before the first day of filming, Blake messaged Baldoni
Speaker 1: to say how grateful she was that what they built
Speaker 1: so far, and she said, I'm so excited at the
Speaker 1: start tomorrow, but it's only one piece of the journey
Speaker 1: offungoul of the journey we started months ago. She wrote,
Speaker 1: thank you for caring so much about me, for putting
Speaker 1: every bit of you into showing it, and he praised
Speaker 1: her back. And this is where look, man, it's this
Speaker 1: some flirting going on. He wrote back, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to tell you that you're amazing because you tease me
Speaker 1: for being so sentimental, but you were amazing today. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: that's a flirt alert. Ladies. What do you think, guys,
Speaker 1: what do you want your wife getting that text? I mean,
Speaker 1: if you marry an actress who's beautiful, that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: It's part of the territory. But still, she wrote back,
Speaker 1: thank you. I do appreciate it. I'm just a bull,
Speaker 1: but it means a lot to me. I care a
Speaker 1: great deal and always want to deliver. And again he says,
Speaker 1: you were terrific. I'm proud of everything we did today.
Speaker 1: But really, every day these two go back and forth. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: she claims in this suit that he sexually harassed her
Speaker 1: on set and those intimate scenes, that frigging scene and
Speaker 1: the rooftop which I highlighted, and she said it made
Speaker 1: her feel uncomfortable on more than one occasion with his
Speaker 1: sexually suggestive remarks. I'd say, you know my suppositive. I
Speaker 1: suppos that's kind of not sexual, but it's suggestive. It
Speaker 1: was going back and forth. But this rooftop scene, which
Speaker 1: I said the other day was the phony scene of
Speaker 1: all time. Early on, Blake Lively said she wrote that scene,
Speaker 1: and now we've come to find out that her husband,
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds wrote that scene. And now that I think
Speaker 1: of it, if you've seen the movie, the lines she
Speaker 1: says sounded an awful lot like she was speaking as
Speaker 1: if she was dead. Really, especially that dumb line I
Speaker 1: told you guys about I read somewhere that Maraschino Cherry
Speaker 1: is staying your system for seven years or they close cancer.
Speaker 1: I forget. Can't you see Bata boy Ryan Reynolds saying
Speaker 1: that and thinking, I just came out with a brilliant line.
Speaker 1: I got a brilliant line. Now I got my phone
Speaker 1: call my phone commercial. That's who he is. He's very breathy.
Speaker 1: He says things like this. That's not gonna come out
Speaker 1: of a woman on a rooftop meeting a stranger. But
Speaker 1: I heard some audio of Justin Baldoni leaving Blake a
Speaker 1: message in like one point thirty two am. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: there comes a point where there's no more phone calls.
Speaker 1: We'll talk again tomorrow. I don't like that shit. When
Speaker 1: I dated an actress years ago, I told you I
Speaker 1: come home and after six o'clock at night, the work
Speaker 1: day is over. I don't want to hear about your
Speaker 1: got season, your additions. You can't sit there at dinner
Speaker 1: and clamor on about how it went and how you
Speaker 1: think you did. It's over. Let it go go out
Speaker 1: there again tomorrow and make your name, make your mark.
Speaker 1: But it gets very annoying when you date an actress
Speaker 1: or an actor who's gung hol on making. It takes
Speaker 1: a special person, typically a person in that field, to
Speaker 1: understand it. But the phone message he leaves it's very
Speaker 1: breathy and flirty. I know, guys, I love being with
Speaker 1: people and being in somebody's face and face to face.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's where I excel. And I've definitely
Speaker 1: fallen short in our texting because there's so much to communicate,
Speaker 1: so much is happening Blake. Look now that I know,
Speaker 1: I saw the movie and have gotten to really focus
Speaker 1: on anymore because I didn't watch the TV show he
Speaker 1: was in back was it Jane Jane the Virgin, whatever
Speaker 1: the I don't like those shows. I didn't watch Gossip
Speaker 1: Girls either that she was in. But I do find
Speaker 1: him compelling. He has the vulnerability quotion. He seems kind,
Speaker 1: at least on film. But I think what Blake and
Speaker 1: Ryan have done to him is just real shit. You know,
Speaker 1: don't forget Ryan Reynolds wanted to pay him and take
Speaker 1: over the sequel of this movie. And again, like I said,
Speaker 1: Blake lively lyed and said she wrote the scene. She didn't,
Speaker 1: her husband did, really, and then they got him expelled
Speaker 1: from William Morris because Ryan and Blake are both big
Speaker 1: shots there. Baldoni's just coming up the ladder, although he's
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of work after this. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: you know, they had the fame, the weight, the connections
Speaker 1: that he didn't. They came across like school yard bullies.
Speaker 1: But I don't find her text to him sentimental at all.
Speaker 1: I think she sounds condescending because she speaks to him
Speaker 1: like she's the director and she's not. He's the director.
Speaker 1: They're both actors, but he's the director and he also
Speaker 1: produced it, and he bought the rights to the book. Okay,
Speaker 1: she should be in deference of him telling me was terrific.
Speaker 1: After he wrote amazing, she wrote, proud of you today.
Speaker 1: You know all that shit marketing, editing, releasing that this
Speaker 1: is not it's not mutual. That's his job, you know.
Speaker 1: And then there's there's emojis being used in their text
Speaker 1: and such, and I can't get at all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But look, man, these people, I've heard from people close
Speaker 1: to them that they're gonna settle. And Justin went away
Speaker 1: to Hawaii with his wife to kind of think things
Speaker 1: over after we fouled that formed a million dollar suit,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it will be. I trust the person
Speaker 1: who told me. But there's a lot here that went
Speaker 1: on between these two that I gotta ask you a question,
Speaker 1: and I can tell you I would be okay with
Speaker 1: my best friend texting my wife what words Justin wrote,
Speaker 1: but I would not be okay if my wife texted
Speaker 1: him what Blake Lively wrote. Does that make sense? But
Speaker 1: I'm not the least bit surprised because I said Blake
Speaker 1: was suspect for beginning. Now I think Blake and her
Speaker 1: husband are suspect because they're both huge narcissists, so is Justin,
Speaker 1: but not on the level Blake and Ryan are. And
Speaker 1: I think she comes across condescending. We've seen her in
Speaker 1: interviews many many times where she does not treat journalists
Speaker 1: the right way. I mean, she's pregnant and the journalist says, oh,
Speaker 1: I love you, bump, and she says to the girl
Speaker 1: who's clearly not pregnant but overweight, I like yours too.
Speaker 1: You know what, who says something? What woman says something
Speaker 1: like that? And you know what, let's be honest. Okay,
Speaker 1: she was seeing Ryan knowing he was married to Scarlett Johanson,
Speaker 1: just like Angelina, Joe Lee and Brad Pitt. Let's just
Speaker 1: put her in our in our uh, in our sights
Speaker 1: and think of the kind of girl she is. Maybe
Speaker 1: she needs. Ryan Reynolds is boring after she dated Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 1: I don't know, could be, but her career isn't like
Speaker 1: her husband, so you know she's not there in terms
Speaker 1: of money. And if they have a split, the child
Speaker 1: support alone for four kids would be a tight grip
Speaker 1: on her husband. Let's see where their marriage plays. But
Speaker 1: like I said the other day, with respect to this story,
Speaker 1: I think Ryan was is jealous and engineered this whole
Speaker 1: thing to keep his wife, who had chemistry with Baldoni,
Speaker 1: from straying. That's what I really think. But gun to
Speaker 1: my head, I would not like a man texting or
Speaker 1: lieving phone messages for my wife at two o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning. I mean, he sounds innocent, but I also
Speaker 1: know the sound of a man's voice when he's into
Speaker 1: a woman and angling to see what she feels. You
Speaker 1: get me. They're all guilty. They're all Hollywood assholes. And
Speaker 1: that's why I said this will be settled before long.
Speaker 1: And speaking of Hollywood. I'm not going to clote asshole,
Speaker 1: but Hollywood people, Cameron Diaz is a I don't know.
Speaker 1: People think this movie with Jamie Fox back in Actions
Speaker 1: enough for her to get back to acting, because she's
Speaker 1: mentioned she's got some projects. This is a woman who
Speaker 1: retired from acting, hadn't been on the red carpet for years.
Speaker 1: She stepped away in twenty fourteen after she did Annie,
Speaker 1: which I've never seen and will never see because I
Speaker 1: can't stand that song. But Back in Action as a
Speaker 1: horrible movie. Cameron Diaz, who in her day was a sexpot, funny.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, something about Mary Charlie's angels. There's too
Speaker 1: many to count. Cameron, that the woman, she was a teacher.
Speaker 1: Oh she was great. And I used to see with
Speaker 1: the Playboy Mansion, and I'm not gonna cast dispersions. We
Speaker 1: all were younger and crazy, but Cameron was a fall
Speaker 1: down drunk at the Mansion. She was falling over bushes
Speaker 1: and laughing. She's a crazy girl, party girl, fun girl.
Speaker 1: She married a goddamn rock star. That's where she is.
Speaker 1: But now she's got another movie coming out called Outcome
Speaker 1: with Keanu Reeves and Jonah Hill. She's going back to work. Listen.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's telling her she needs to be
Speaker 1: back at work, but Cameron Diaz had a specific look,
Speaker 1: you know. And when she said no to everything and
Speaker 1: walked away from acting, I kind of felt like, that's
Speaker 1: not a bad move. Like she did it. She made
Speaker 1: so many movies. Then she started up was it a
Speaker 1: home goods business or whatever it was, but she was
Speaker 1: making money with the business. She had a couple of kids.
Speaker 1: Their names are another story. A son named Cardinal and
Speaker 1: a daughter named Radix. I think that's like, what is that? That?
Speaker 1: Is that some kind of airborne illness a Cardinal gets
Speaker 1: They catch radicks from another bird, Radis and Cardinal. I
Speaker 1: don't know what people are doing to these poor kids.
Speaker 1: But look, she wants to get back on the saddle.
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad idea. I think it's better
Speaker 1: stay home, be a mom. You got plenty of dough.
Speaker 1: And if you're thinking that back back in action is
Speaker 1: going to be the springboard that leads you to a
Speaker 1: bunch of new films, it's not. It's such a bad movie.
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox has is afro painted on. I don't know
Speaker 1: how much topic they used on top of his head
Speaker 1: to make it look completely black. But every guy over
Speaker 1: forty years old has a hole in the back of
Speaker 1: the head like Saint Anthony. But big shot actors never
Speaker 1: have that hole. You wonder why. Yes, I know they
Speaker 1: have hair systems and all sorts of rugs and tupe's
Speaker 1: and plugs. But Jamie Fox gets his head painted on,
Speaker 1: and Cameron is as beautiful and fun and sexy as
Speaker 1: she was. That's not who she is anymore. It just isn't.
Speaker 1: So I look it. Man. Just be home with your kids,
Speaker 1: be a devoted mom, which I'm sure she's great at.
Speaker 1: Let your husband do his thing with the music and
Speaker 1: having a ball, and live you wonderful life. No one's
Speaker 1: clamoring for you to get back at it. Make a
Speaker 1: movie every two three years one get your three four
Speaker 1: million dollars, and you know that's fine. But I don't
Speaker 1: want anybody misleading or telling up we need you back out.
Speaker 1: Are you the best thing that have happened? No, she's not.
Speaker 1: Don't let them fool you, Cameron, Because actors and actresses
Speaker 1: love to hear how great they are and how great
Speaker 1: they look, and that gets there, It gets their engine
Speaker 1: burning and they begin to think they're better than they
Speaker 1: really are, and that's when they come up looking like
Speaker 1: a fool. And I don't want to see that with
Speaker 1: her because I think she's too cute and too sweet,
Speaker 1: and she's had too much of a good time all
Speaker 1: these years with the movie she's made that really left
Speaker 1: the mark on us, So I don't want to see that.
Speaker 1: That's just my personal opinion. A short show thirty one minutes,
Speaker 1: maybe thirty two. I got thirteen hours of poker tomorrow
Speaker 1: and woke up early, Like I said with TUTSI, five
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. I'm going to hit the pillow
Speaker 1: early tonight, get back at it tomorrow, thirteen hours in
Speaker 1: the booth again for two episodes that I'm here again tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Me and Agavina were doing everything as a bit, so
Speaker 1: we're keeping up all into the bargain tune into that.
Speaker 1: That still actually is a lot fun. I love that
Speaker 1: show because I have half the work to do and
Speaker 1: I can bounce back and forth with my best friend
Speaker 1: of fifty plus years. We're in the same way. You've
Speaker 1: learnt about so many things as inside jokes. Whoever hasn't
Speaker 1: heard it yet, listen to it. It's really fun. And
Speaker 1: the two of us have a chemistry that you can't manufacture,
Speaker 1: and it began way back in nineteen seventy three, seventy four.
Speaker 1: Longtime folks, long time check it out for old friend's sake.
Speaker 1: I'm aj Benz and that was your rather short but
Speaker 1: jam packed episode of Famous a Bitch for January thirtieth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow
