Speaker 1: From Workhouse Connect and aj Benze fame. Uh he'd liked
Speaker 1: to be walked on a leash and play really dirty,
Speaker 1: kinky sex games. He's uh the guy put the cock
Speaker 1: in the peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey everybody, aj Benzi
Speaker 1: here with fame as a bitch. This is your daily
Speaker 1: Unfiltered podcast for June tenth, twenty twenty six oh six
Speaker 1: one oh two o two six were back to even numbers.
Speaker 1: Makes me happy, if if just for a day, interesting day. Today,
Speaker 1: I was trying to find a story I wrote short.
Speaker 1: It's short. I'm on like a poem when Rocco was
Speaker 1: a baby, and how it was tough to write because
Speaker 1: he was always crawling on my lap and trying to
Speaker 1: touch the keyboard, you know, and I could. I can't
Speaker 1: find it. I'm going crazy. Downloads documents, desktop, the three d's,
Speaker 1: the dreaded ds. It ain't there. So I went and
Speaker 1: looked for some thumb drive that I have in the draw.
Speaker 1: They're not labeled naturally, because you know, why would I
Speaker 1: do that? Why would I label I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: that's stupid. Just take a thumb drive and try to
Speaker 1: figure out what's on it. So in doing so. I
Speaker 1: found really great stuff. I found when Roxy was a
Speaker 1: baby and I'm playing with her on the bed and
Speaker 1: she's trying to talk. I found when Rocco was at
Speaker 1: the hospital being born. I found Richie's football games, A
Speaker 1: lot of stuff from me in Cuba, China, me putting
Speaker 1: the frozen fish next to Rocco in his bed in Havana.
Speaker 1: Oh some fun stuff, is there? Good stuff. Now I'm
Speaker 1: going to figure out how to transfer it to you know,
Speaker 1: share it, that whole thing. But you know, lost something,
Speaker 1: but found some other good stuff I'll find. I thought
Speaker 1: it'd be a nice pairing, you know, you paired like
Speaker 1: a nice wine with a certain meal. I thought with
Speaker 1: graduation today, well it's Tuesday night, but with graduation on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: I thought, be a nice pairing to read something. And
Speaker 1: my name was a baby, you know, two three years old, myself,
Speaker 1: but not to be, not to be. But it'll turn
Speaker 1: up somewhere a little by little of these things turn up.
Speaker 1: And what turned up today in the news got me
Speaker 1: just these people. You know, we always talk about the
Speaker 1: hypocritesis of this town, the hypocrites in the entertainment industry,
Speaker 1: And you know, I was talking to that girl. I
Speaker 1: was mentioned yesterday, Whitney trolland who was going to be
Speaker 1: my partner on that show with George Nourry. Some people
Speaker 1: are getting it all jumbled up. I know that Art
Speaker 1: Bell hosted Coast to Coast and George Nuri did, but
Speaker 1: this was a show for George Norry, me and Whitney was.
Speaker 1: It wasn't with Art Bell because I met with George
Speaker 1: several times and I got to know him and stuff,
Speaker 1: but wasn't meant to be. But I was. You know,
Speaker 1: we're talking about Hollywood, and you know she went through
Speaker 1: it on the girls side of things. You know how
Speaker 1: many men wanted to be with her, and I mean
Speaker 1: she's she's like Kim basing her looking. She's that pretty,
Speaker 1: you know, And of course she got chased around desks
Speaker 1: and her inappropriate things. But she says she got through it.
Speaker 1: But now she's out of the business altogether. And she
Speaker 1: started a news and then she went to hosting and
Speaker 1: now she's out, has her little daughter and living a
Speaker 1: good life down in San Diego. Out of the business.
Speaker 1: Said I don't blame you, but it needs to be
Speaker 1: in this business and be subjected to the bullshit that
Speaker 1: a lot of women go through. But now I hear, well,
Speaker 1: I don't here. I'm reading Lewis Hamilton, the F one driver,
Speaker 1: of the big fancy F one driver, who's you know,
Speaker 1: making all sorts of headlines because he's dating Kim Kardashian, know,
Speaker 1: the looking guy. You know how I feel about her.
Speaker 1: But he's made some comments over the past few days
Speaker 1: and people are reverting back to what he said in
Speaker 1: an interview some three years ago on social media, where
Speaker 1: he said you shouldn't be able to have billions. He
Speaker 1: said this on Jay Shetty's podcast. I don't like that guy.
Speaker 1: I know people like him or listen to I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't really Jay Shetty. I know Sam Morris is
Speaker 1: very smart, but I get, you know, I get a
Speaker 1: little bored. Like they got the Ryan Something. That's a
Speaker 1: guy's name Ryan who sits in that dark room and
Speaker 1: interview Sean Ryan or something. Again, he's another guy. I
Speaker 1: felt the same when Bongino was doing a Bongino looks
Speaker 1: uncomfortable to me when he's doing the podcast. He just
Speaker 1: looks like he's always about to cry or blow a
Speaker 1: stack or I just something about Bongino that I don't
Speaker 1: jive with and you would think a j why not
Speaker 1: tough to tying ex law enforcement? I know I get it,
Speaker 1: but I don't feel it. I don't feel a kinship
Speaker 1: with him. Can't explain it. But either way, Lewis Hamilton
Speaker 1: doesn't There shouldn't be billionaires, We shouldn't need billions. I
Speaker 1: think there should be a limit he said to how
Speaker 1: much you can have because there's enough to go around
Speaker 1: for everyone. Well, when you say stupid shit like that,
Speaker 1: what do you mean enough to go around for everyone?
Speaker 1: How does it go around? Typically it goes around because
Speaker 1: somebody earns a lot of it and then has to
Speaker 1: make payroll and pay a lot of people who work
Speaker 1: with that person, under that person, for that person. What
Speaker 1: was There's plenty to go around for everyone? Really? Where
Speaker 1: is it going? Now? And tell your girlfriend she's worked
Speaker 1: over two billion dollars? You still think there should be
Speaker 1: no billionaires? Right? Come on? This is the hypocrisy of
Speaker 1: it all? Are these people are just so stupid? Now? Look,
Speaker 1: he's tremendous of what he does for a living. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that lent itself to him being a good
Speaker 1: student in school. I don't know much about his education.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not trying to say he's dumb.
Speaker 1: Clearly he's a smart, gifted athlete. I'll call race car
Speaker 1: drivers F one drivers athletes for sure. For golfers an athlete,
Speaker 1: and F one drivers an athlete. No, those guys go
Speaker 1: through hell. What they put their body through, my God,
Speaker 1: not to mention having to piss into a hose. Oh
Speaker 1: I can't even I can't, But doesn't this guy understand
Speaker 1: all the billionaires who fund his career? Formula one is
Speaker 1: maybe is it the most expensive sport in the world.
Speaker 1: It could be, but it's funded by billionaire owners. There's
Speaker 1: the chemical tycoon Jim Radcliffe. He's the one who bankworld
Speaker 1: Hamilton for over ten years at Mercedes before he went
Speaker 1: and switched to Ferrari. I think Ferrari family's got a
Speaker 1: few billion, don't you. They're controled by the Agnelli Elkin family.
Speaker 1: If they have eighteen billion dollars, that's their fortune. Hamilton
Speaker 1: himself has had for a billion dollars. I mean he
Speaker 1: makes sixty million a year from Ferrari. He's got deals
Speaker 1: with Lulu Lemon, Christian Dior, Puma, Tommy Hill, Figure IWC, schnaufhouse.
Speaker 1: I don't know what chaff housing is. It must be
Speaker 1: a driver thing. I don't know perplexity. I know what
Speaker 1: that is, but I don't know what IWC schaalfousing is,
Speaker 1: and I don't care to look it up. He's got
Speaker 1: six homes across the world. He's got a forty four
Speaker 1: million dollar condo in Manhattan whenever he's not on his
Speaker 1: ninety foot yachts. And let's not forget the man who thinks, hey,
Speaker 1: there's enough to go around. Several years ago, he moved
Speaker 1: from England, which is where he was born. But you know,
Speaker 1: income over one hundred and twenty five thousand is tax
Speaker 1: at forty five percent, So he left there to go
Speaker 1: to Monaco, where hundreds of million of dollars are shielded
Speaker 1: from taxation. So the man who thinks has plenty to
Speaker 1: go around is talking on both sides of his mouth
Speaker 1: and drooling down the middle. Okay, that hypocrisy, it's an idiot.
Speaker 1: A lot of wealthy people. Here's how it works. A
Speaker 1: lot of wealthy people create more wealth. And if you
Speaker 1: take their wealth from them, what she can't do. That's
Speaker 1: not something we do here in this country. But if
Speaker 1: you take away, then you take away the ability to
Speaker 1: create more wealth, and then that goes away because it's
Speaker 1: never reinvested. More wealth is just spent. That's all. But
Speaker 1: Lewis Hamilton, get a grip the family you're you're dating
Speaker 1: outside of Kim. What if you have three sisters who
Speaker 1: are billionaires and her mother, I don't even know they're
Speaker 1: all forget the money. That's not going to go over
Speaker 1: well at the next dinner conversation if they're still together.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Mike and I was saying today on
Speaker 1: Everything is a bitch, like what else can who else
Speaker 1: can Kim date? You know, she's got her foot now
Speaker 1: and her ass in F one, which is big, you know,
Speaker 1: most expensive spart in the world. Probably we figured she
Speaker 1: hasn't dated a black soccer star if she dates an international,
Speaker 1: so I'm not saying she hasn't slept with one, but
Speaker 1: publicly date. If she does that and they become Instagram official,
Speaker 1: you got to say, Kim Kardashian has really done for
Speaker 1: sports what no other woman has done. She deserves to
Speaker 1: be in all the Hall of Fames for keeping these
Speaker 1: men hard and ready. I mean, think about it. Outside
Speaker 1: of the first guy she married yet idiots. The guy
Speaker 1: who just they forced him to get married for the
Speaker 1: TV show, he didn't know what he was doing. He
Speaker 1: just was being shoved around. The poor bastard, that guy,
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush didn't know what was going on. These guys
Speaker 1: didn't know there was an agenda're cooking up in that
Speaker 1: home in Calabassas. These women and the mother knew exactly
Speaker 1: what they needed to do to move forward. How savvy,
Speaker 1: and everybody loves it. Everybody Eric kisses, Oh, Chris, Jeff,
Speaker 1: I've had friends like that when I came to La
Speaker 1: and I was, you know, very popular. You meet people
Speaker 1: like that who throw the weekly party, of the bi
Speaker 1: weekly party, and they can get you whatever you want.
Speaker 1: And if you need a surge, you know what there's
Speaker 1: or that you must talk. You must go to my guy.
Speaker 1: There are so many people like that. They mean well,
Speaker 1: but they come off looking like jerk. Loss speaking of
Speaker 1: coming off looking like jerkss I mean, none of us
Speaker 1: thought the relationship between Ariano Grande and Ethan Slater was
Speaker 1: gonna work out. The guy looks like he has the
Speaker 1: complexion of you know when you put silly putty on
Speaker 1: a newspaper and you peel it back, and the complexion
Speaker 1: of the person and the comic strip isn't quite as
Speaker 1: bright as it was on the page. He looks like
Speaker 1: a silly putty in a silly putty impression. Ethan not
Speaker 1: a good looking guy at all. But they did wicked together,
Speaker 1: so they were together all the time those things happened.
Speaker 1: They broke up apparently several months ago. Of course they're friends,
Speaker 1: nothing but respect and admiration for the other. One. Wasn't
Speaker 1: a decision they took lightly, but they took out all
Speaker 1: the old tropes to blow some dust off and put
Speaker 1: them back in this story. Better off friends than in
Speaker 1: a committed relationship. Arianna's really happy and focused on the
Speaker 1: next chapter with her Eternal sun Sean tour and the
Speaker 1: upcoming release of her album Pedal. So they took the
Speaker 1: breakup and were able to push the tour and the album.
Speaker 1: That's what they get paid twenty thousand dollars a month
Speaker 1: for these fleas. These publicists, well press agents. I used
Speaker 1: to call them sup press agents because they never gave
Speaker 1: you stuff you wanted. They only gave you stuff they
Speaker 1: wanted to give you. If you asked the question, they
Speaker 1: wouldn't I don't have the answer to that, because you're
Speaker 1: suppressing the facts. Press Agent. A new album comes out
Speaker 1: to thirty first of July. It will not be inspired
Speaker 1: by the breakup. Unlike Calas Swift's albums, this one comes late.
Speaker 1: Maybe the next Abish he'll touch on it. But don't forget.
Speaker 1: These two were of the set of Wicked. They were
Speaker 1: both married at the time. Ariana to this ridiculous Dalton Gomez,
Speaker 1: which wasn't gonna go far at all. He's the Chris
Speaker 1: Judd of her life. And Slander was married to a
Speaker 1: high school sweetheart, which again can't last. If you're a
Speaker 1: star and you marry your high school streeteart, it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: One person becomes a shooting star, the other person just
Speaker 1: gets their arms ripped from their socket as you blow
Speaker 1: by them. His wife is named Lily j. They have
Speaker 1: a three year old son named Ezra. Was a little
Speaker 1: concerned when someone names the kid Ezra. I don't get
Speaker 1: the name Ezra. I don't know why a boy want
Speaker 1: that name. Where man wanted his son to be called
Speaker 1: ezra't maybe the in his family, But it would have
Speaker 1: stopped with me. That would have died with me if
Speaker 1: that was my kid Ezra. No, but his ex wife
Speaker 1: was not happy that Arianna kind of not as they
Speaker 1: took him away, but she made herself known that she
Speaker 1: liked them, and you know, she slayed them. It's hard.
Speaker 1: I don't know what Lily J looked like or how
Speaker 1: long they were together. But you know, here comes a
Speaker 1: big pop superstar like Arianna and you know you're away
Speaker 1: from home. It happens. But the wife says she is
Speaker 1: no girl's girl. My family is just collateral damage. Well listen,
Speaker 1: she's upset, rightfully, so her marriage fell apart. But yet
Speaker 1: people close to Arianna and Ethan saying they did nothing wrong.
Speaker 1: Yes they did. Maybe nothing was happening at that point,
Speaker 1: but his wife had this spidy sense. His wife kind
Speaker 1: of felt something was going on, you know. And my
Speaker 1: wife and I were not getting along well to the end,
Speaker 1: and she was teaching in school, and from my liking,
Speaker 1: she was getting too close to some of the male
Speaker 1: teachers who some went out of thread at all. One
Speaker 1: guy figured it was a threat, and they taught right
Speaker 1: next door to each other. And you know, if we're
Speaker 1: fighting at night, then of course the next day of
Speaker 1: the conference room, he's gonna put his shoulder thea for
Speaker 1: her to cry. And I know how it works. I
Speaker 1: know the game. I know every facet of the game.
Speaker 1: So sure enough, there was no proof. But I decided
Speaker 1: to go a little fishing one night, and her class
Speaker 1: and his class had taken their classes to see a
Speaker 1: play in New York City Broadway Play And I went
Speaker 1: through a pocketbook and I found two tickets. But the
Speaker 1: tickets were together. One seat there they were together, and
Speaker 1: one was hers, one was his. And I said, okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. You got to sit together in the
Speaker 1: fucking theater. The kids know you're flirting. That set me off.
Speaker 1: So you know. Ethan's later his wife has mighty cents
Speaker 1: and she doesn't like what happened to her. Although I'll
Speaker 1: tell her right now, you didn't lose much, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's not. I don't know what you
Speaker 1: found so hot in this guy to keep him around.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. So around this single now she's
Speaker 1: too busy on her tour to do anything else. She
Speaker 1: kicked off a tour last weekend. Bet me that she
Speaker 1: finishes this tour. I don't think she will. I don't.
Speaker 1: I think she's too weak. All the pictures and videos
Speaker 1: we saw of her. She just doesn't look like she
Speaker 1: has a stamina to finish this tour. Maybe she'll get
Speaker 1: blue dot fever and she'll see that a lot of
Speaker 1: people in certain cities aren't coming, and she'll back out,
Speaker 1: have an illness, maybe an exhaustion. Maybe she'll talk about
Speaker 1: how hard it is, the breakup or whatever, the kind
Speaker 1: of shit that old school pop stars and rock n
Speaker 1: rollers never pulled out of their pocket. They just through it,
Speaker 1: and then music was better for it. Speaking of Big
Speaker 1: two Weeks, you see a video of post Bolone, who
Speaker 1: I've always felt as a slob in my book. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a couple of songs are cute, pretty nice, I get it,
Speaker 1: But I can't look at him with the fit, with
Speaker 1: the teeth, with the steel, the gold, I can't the grills,
Speaker 1: the face tattoos. He's a pig to me. Yes, he
Speaker 1: lost a lot of weight taking we Go via the
Speaker 1: other one, but he's on stage the other night, could
Speaker 1: barely walk. Too drunk or too high or maybe both
Speaker 1: look like absolute shit. He falls down. He's laying on
Speaker 1: his back for like forty seconds and fishes out his
Speaker 1: cigarettes from his back pocket and lights his cigarette while
Speaker 1: he's on his back. The crowd's erupting as if he
Speaker 1: did something fantastic, as if he was doing a tap
Speaker 1: dance like Sammy Davis singing candy Man, What the fuck
Speaker 1: did the guy do? Lit a cigarette on his back
Speaker 1: and the crowd goes crazy. Then he gets up and
Speaker 1: bobbed towards the front of the stage, and he's a mess.
Speaker 1: He might not finish because of his addiction. Arina's in
Speaker 1: peril of not reaching the finish line because she's too
Speaker 1: physically weak, especially after Cynthia Orrivo sucked the lifeblood out
Speaker 1: of her during the Wicked Movies in the press Store
Speaker 1: back to back. I mean, look, look, Ariano's a cutie pie.
Speaker 1: She's very funny. I think she's turned the corner on
Speaker 1: her earlier examples of immaturity when she hated America and
Speaker 1: licked the donut. I mean that was a long That
Speaker 1: was like eight years ago. It's a long time ago.
Speaker 1: But this slater looks like he was kept at the
Speaker 1: bathtub too long. You know, his skin's all wrinkly and white.
Speaker 1: His face is all red. His body is the shade
Speaker 1: of his body's the shade of white you normally see
Speaker 1: on cadavers. There's no woman should want this guy. I can't.
Speaker 1: But she has this deep supportive connection with him, artistic passion.
Speaker 1: They said, that's what brought them together. Yeah, this wasn't
Speaker 1: real love, like this is movie set love. This is
Speaker 1: a work crush. Okay. You know how they go. Maybe
Speaker 1: it starts at the Christmas party. You're able to say
Speaker 1: how you both feel about each other for the last
Speaker 1: six months, but you couldn't say anything out loud. Blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, And then you know, it's fun at first.
Speaker 1: Then it usually goes downhill. It's like a phenomenon. You're
Speaker 1: at work so often and you're around the same group
Speaker 1: of people constantly that you start finding the people attractive,
Speaker 1: and many of them aren't. It's just because you're in
Speaker 1: the same circle and the human mind or body is
Speaker 1: conditioned to procreate and not saying you want to make
Speaker 1: babies with that person. But that's the beginning of things.
Speaker 1: That's what I feel. And two of the most important factors,
Speaker 1: the ones most obvious to me. She liked that he
Speaker 1: worshiped her, okay, and she'd also did see him as
Speaker 1: a threat because he's not conventionally good looking, so she
Speaker 1: was the better looking one, and she was worshiped by him.
Speaker 1: That's what she wanted. Maybe not at this age, but
Speaker 1: back then that's exactly what she wanted. Anyhow, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: her little dab of politics in this show because the
Speaker 1: Nick game. One of they night was saying the Knicks
Speaker 1: got beat in a bad way. It was a close game,
Speaker 1: but we gave it away. And I gotta see the
Speaker 1: Community House Minority leader Hakim Jefferies making fun of the
Speaker 1: The whole story is Donald Trump went to the game,
Speaker 1: sat in a luxury suite, and he was bad luck.
Speaker 1: The Knicks lost because of him. I saw Steven A. Smith,
Speaker 1: a renowned sports broadcaster, making a speech in front of
Speaker 1: an American flag, that Donald Trump didn't belong there, shouldn't
Speaker 1: have gone and that's why they lost. With a straight face,
Speaker 1: I know he might be running for president, which is
Speaker 1: so oh my god, this country, this country. I can't
Speaker 1: uh like that. I said something the other day yesterday
Speaker 1: Ramen Noodles Nthia Raman, who overtook Spencer Pratt to take
Speaker 1: second place in the Mayo race in New York. Spencer
Speaker 1: Pratt's done. This woman got I don't know how many
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of votes to last minute. None went
Speaker 1: to Spencer Pratt. It doesn't make sense. I call it
Speaker 1: Curry in a hurry, I said, carry and a hurry
Speaker 1: comes out of nowhere. She gave what looked like a
Speaker 1: concession speech on my on election night, saying she was
Speaker 1: sorry she could have done better. She was saying, we
Speaker 1: lost lo and Behold. Almost a week later and she's
Speaker 1: in second and Spencer's out. So somebody reads that on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I said, there's no way Curry and Hurry beat Spencer Pratt,
Speaker 1: and this guy goes age. I've been following you for years,
Speaker 1: always was fan of you, has always a local highly
Speaker 1: of you. But you, after reading this, I'm not so sure,
Speaker 1: not so sure about what. Not so sure that you
Speaker 1: want a socialist? You want a socialist mayor in New York?
Speaker 1: What do you want? You fucking idiot? What is it
Speaker 1: about me saying that bothers you? You think there's a
Speaker 1: better there's a better option for New York. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was Spencer Pratt. I mean for La it was Spencer Pratt,
Speaker 1: regardless of his not having enough experience. Karen Bess has
Speaker 1: too much experience being crooked. That's really dangerous and she'll
Speaker 1: do it again. Fuck La, it's over. It's just do
Speaker 1: And then Kathy Hokeel, the stupid governor of New York,
Speaker 1: had to make fun of Trump too. She goes, I'd
Speaker 1: ask him to name the starting lineup of the nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three championship team and see how he does well, asshole.
Speaker 1: The Knicks weren't the champions in nineteen ninety three. Okay,
Speaker 1: they weren't the champions. So you say, you're asking him
Speaker 1: to name the other team roster, and I doubt he
Speaker 1: knows them too. But he knew the next because I
Speaker 1: was there when he was courtside, when he had season tickets,
Speaker 1: and every other game he was at some other knockout,
Speaker 1: some other beautiful actress, model, you name it. Dignitary, Stop
Speaker 1: talking shit. He said, if a famous New Yorker is
Speaker 1: allowed to go to he was never looked upon his
Speaker 1: bed luck back in the day. Why now, so stupid?
Speaker 1: One thing I do have to say, he definitely did
Speaker 1: doze off in that booth because he's talking to Charles Dolan,
Speaker 1: a wind bag who New York City can't stand because
Speaker 1: of what he's done to the Knicks and how far
Speaker 1: he's dragged him down. It's only because the coaching staff
Speaker 1: he put together and the moves they made have gotten
Speaker 1: the Knicks this far. But Charles Dolan is such a bastard,
Speaker 1: or James Dolan his father was Charles such a You
Speaker 1: know what this asshole does. He has facial recognition on
Speaker 1: every entrance at the garden, so he can see not him,
Speaker 1: but so the mechanism can see if anybody coming to
Speaker 1: the game as somebody who's embrailed in a lawsuit with them,
Speaker 1: and if they are, they don't get in. You want
Speaker 1: to talk about power hungry and mad. So Trump dozed off.
Speaker 1: Not a good look. He cannot make fun of Biden
Speaker 1: fall asleep and then do the same thing in the game.
Speaker 1: He's gonna say he didn't goes off, but he did.
Speaker 1: It wasn't the usual Trump face. He went out for
Speaker 1: about thirty seconds. What's just allowed. He's eighty years old.
Speaker 1: But still he can't call the kettle black when you're
Speaker 1: drinking that of the same kettle. But you know how listen,
Speaker 1: the Bulls won back then. I don't see why you
Speaker 1: have to name Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen to get
Speaker 1: into a game like Trump's supposed to know their roster
Speaker 1: so he can then, Oh, now you're allowed back in massive.
Speaker 1: If you know the roster for the Bulls, you could play.
Speaker 1: First of all, he probably would because he's he's a
Speaker 1: he's enamored with athleticism, he loves sports. I'm sure he could. Stupid,
Speaker 1: she meant the nineteen seventy three championship team, but she
Speaker 1: knows nothing. I expect Democrats to be dumb and wrong
Speaker 1: because that's their default setting. But this is I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm reading Start USA Today, which who even still reads that?
Speaker 1: That's something you always see discarded in bathrooms at the airport? Like,
Speaker 1: who fucking buys USA Today? It's a bunch of pie charts,
Speaker 1: Stupid USA Today wrote, President Donald Trump has openly trashed
Speaker 1: the NBA as a bastion of player activism with overt
Speaker 1: liberal politics that could destroy the game of basketball. And
Speaker 1: he's deeply unpopular in New York with a historically low
Speaker 1: job approval rating, So why might he attend Monday's Game
Speaker 1: three finals matchup between the Knicks and the Spurs, the
Speaker 1: first in Madison Square Garden in twenty seven years. First
Speaker 1: of all, the person who wrote this story is a
Speaker 1: domestic security correspondent, not a sports writer. Was it around
Speaker 1: the Guard? Does it around for all the championship runs?
Speaker 1: Knows even less about basketball than Kathy Hopel does, But
Speaker 1: he's out there for USA today writing a Trump doesn't
Speaker 1: know enough to be at the Guard. I can't take
Speaker 1: it because his approved rating is low. He should never
Speaker 1: go to that state. He's from New York. There are
Speaker 1: people in New York who love him. People can't stand him.
Speaker 1: That's the way it is with it with a lot
Speaker 1: of geminis. Trust me, I live it too. You love
Speaker 1: him or hate him? So what? So? What? What an
Speaker 1: hod take? He said? He said Trump might have gone
Speaker 1: to the game to widen his name recognition. Is this
Speaker 1: asshole kidding me? As if an eighty year old billionaire president,
Speaker 1: real estate magnet, TV star needs to broaden his platform?
Speaker 1: What is he missing? What does you want to get
Speaker 1: in on skims? What's his next move? I mean, how
Speaker 1: stupid presidents don't try to make their brand bigger? Asshole?
Speaker 1: And he said, And while Trump is much more aligned
Speaker 1: with the pro Maga Ultimate Fighting Championship crowd, pro Maga
Speaker 1: tough guys like fights, tough guys like Trump, what can
Speaker 1: I tell you he's unlickly going because it presents him
Speaker 1: with yet another opportunity to build his brand, to be
Speaker 1: seen by more than ten million people watching it home.
Speaker 1: Oh Christ, he loves attention, He loves eyeballs on him
Speaker 1: and being at the center of everything. Of course he does.
Speaker 1: We've all known that. I wrote my book twenty some
Speaker 1: years ago. When he gets up in the money, he
Speaker 1: doesn't check his pulse to see if he's a love.
Speaker 1: He checks the papers. I still stand by that these
Speaker 1: people out they're just coming out with these gems. The
Speaker 1: Knicks car being in the finals for the first time
Speaker 1: in many decades is a chance for him to kill
Speaker 1: two birds with munstone. He can generate some controversy. See,
Speaker 1: he can put all eyes on him, and he can
Speaker 1: bask in the reflective glory of the New York Dicks,
Speaker 1: even if he's getting booter heckled. First of all, there
Speaker 1: was a very long USA chant that they're not going
Speaker 1: to show you, but I heard it. Yes, when they
Speaker 1: showed him first up front in the suite. There were
Speaker 1: enough articles written about should Trump go? Should he go?
Speaker 1: Is it bad luck? They said? Josh Hart, the Knicks
Speaker 1: forward slash guard doesn't want to play if Trump's there,
Speaker 1: a complete bullshit story. So the media poisons the water
Speaker 1: and then waits for the crowd to react to it
Speaker 1: at the game, and they got what they wanted, a
Speaker 1: smattering of booze, not like when he goes to a
Speaker 1: West Point football game Army Navy and they cheer like
Speaker 1: crazy because that's those are our soldiers, those are our
Speaker 1: people who protect us. They're all pro Trump largely. But
Speaker 1: if he took it, if he took into baseball game
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, he'd get booed and cheered. It's just the
Speaker 1: way it goes, Okay, Carter Obama and they all went
Speaker 1: to games. Biden went and he thought they were shooting.
Speaker 1: They were saying, fuck Joe Biden. Jesus. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. The UFC is where it is in large
Speaker 1: prop because of Donald Trump. No one would have given
Speaker 1: Dana White a venue to stage those fights. Donald gave
Speaker 1: him his casino Atlantic City, and all these decades later,
Speaker 1: here's where it is. But no one was giving Dana
Speaker 1: White a place for his league to fight. That's why
Speaker 1: data White so close to him, That's why he's so loyal.
Speaker 1: And Trump likes basketball like I said, I've seen him
Speaker 1: at so many games when I wrote about him, and
Speaker 1: he can criticize the management, he can criticize the hierarchy.
Speaker 1: We all can. We all do. But don't forget Trump
Speaker 1: owned the football team and he sponsored Mike Tyson and
Speaker 1: he was unknown. He's also sponsored a pros on the
Speaker 1: golf courses to try the PGA again. One guy did
Speaker 1: and one of the used to open it. So we
Speaker 1: got this asshole writing that USA today is taking a
Speaker 1: shit on the president like he knows something we don't know.
Speaker 1: But it's all lie, just the way they treat him.
Speaker 1: I said, the last two weeks, I turned the volume
Speaker 1: down on some things he's done. I alke being as
Speaker 1: honest as I can be, but saying he's the bad
Speaker 1: luck charm is ridiculous. And there's a famous story out
Speaker 1: there that should satisfy the people who call them the racist,
Speaker 1: but it seldom does. But there's a story out there
Speaker 1: that has been told a number of times and it's true.
Speaker 1: It's not legend, it's true, and basically it's how Donald
Speaker 1: Trump had to intervene and really save a nineteen year
Speaker 1: old Kobe Bryant from getting his ass kicked by Jason
Speaker 1: Williams at that NBA All Star weekend back in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety nine. Yet Jason Williams, Charles Oakley, and Donald Trump
Speaker 1: run an elevator at the High A Regency, which was
Speaker 1: Trump's first major project. Kobe's making his first appearance as
Speaker 1: an All Star. He goes to the elevator and Jason
Speaker 1: Williams felt that man Brian didn't show enough respect for
Speaker 1: his elders. And I know Jason. I was friends with
Speaker 1: Jason for years, played a softball invitational with him in Newark,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Good guy, but you know he knows about
Speaker 1: the NBA and the hierarchy of young guys coming in
Speaker 1: and rookies, how they treat the elder so to speak,
Speaker 1: the veterans. He didn't think Kobe was doing it right,
Speaker 1: and they had some words, and then Jason Williams went
Speaker 1: at Kobe's neck and he punched him, and Trump stepped
Speaker 1: in between them both and told Kobe, listen, get the elevator.
Speaker 1: I'll take care of it, and he did. He got out,
Speaker 1: but Trump cooled that off. Or use Kobe would have
Speaker 1: got a big beating. And back in the seventies when
Speaker 1: Trump was great as a New York real estate agent.
Speaker 1: He praised Madison Square Garden for its own during there
Speaker 1: was discussions that Arabs are going to invest. They wanted
Speaker 1: to buy it. The deal never went through, but that's
Speaker 1: because Trump had a hand in that, and that was
Speaker 1: one of the first times he was mentioned in the
Speaker 1: press nineteen seventy five. But in terms of way we
Speaker 1: lost last night, hey, one team scored more points than
Speaker 1: the other, But the big winner was the NBA and
Speaker 1: New York because look at the life brought back into
Speaker 1: that city because of this team, the Knicks, more than
Speaker 1: the Jets, Rangers, Yankees, Mets, Islanders, They've always been the
Speaker 1: lifeblood of New York City. Yes, the Yankees are huge
Speaker 1: and won a bunch of champions, but when the Knicks
Speaker 1: are firing on all pistons, the city is at a
Speaker 1: different rhythm. Trust me, it's on everybody's lips. Everybody talks
Speaker 1: about it constantly. But I was at the Garden probably
Speaker 1: the last time it ever sounded that loud nineteen ninety nine,
Speaker 1: the series which we lost. I was there for the
Speaker 1: good run at Houston in nineteen ninety three when we
Speaker 1: had to get through Reggie Miller Alonzo morning and we
Speaker 1: almost did. Took the Rockets to Game seven only to
Speaker 1: see the great jakeem Elajah won partially just get his
Speaker 1: fingertips on a but would have been a game winning
Speaker 1: baseline jumper from John Starks. I'm sure of it. We'll
Speaker 1: never know. And the Rockets went on to win the
Speaker 1: next game in Houston and become the champs. And I
Speaker 1: was there when Reggie Miller scored eight points and eight
Speaker 1: seconds impossible right now. I was there, I saw it.
Speaker 1: I was there on my birthday. Me and Jackie went
Speaker 1: on June and second when Charles Smith, a New York nick,
Speaker 1: missed not one, not two, but three putbacks from under
Speaker 1: the basket against Jordan's Bulls. As a result, New York
Speaker 1: City hated him so much he carried around a gun,
Speaker 1: and one night at the movie theater, his gun fo
Speaker 1: out of his pocket and slid down the flow and
Speaker 1: it got to the papers and they just New York
Speaker 1: City knew. We destroyed Charles Smith for fucking up that
Speaker 1: basketball game. That's how important basketball is to New York.
Speaker 1: And I was there when Patrick Ewing's knees were just
Speaker 1: too old for him to jump high enough to dunk
Speaker 1: the ball, and the last shot he took us a
Speaker 1: Nick was a finger roll that went in and out,
Speaker 1: and the Knicks were done. And in all those heartbreakers,
Speaker 1: it was never chalked up to who was sitting in
Speaker 1: a luxury seat, who was sitting in courtside? Is there
Speaker 1: a president here that we don't like it? None of
Speaker 1: that shouldn't matter. It was about the effort we saw
Speaker 1: on the court. And you had to be blind to
Speaker 1: not see what the Knicks were doing wrong, giving up
Speaker 1: twenty one points on turnovers, Jalen Brunson having an uncharacteristically
Speaker 1: awful game, not running the ball through Karl Anthony Towns
Speaker 1: mckel bridges, scoring only two points after being red hot
Speaker 1: this postseason. Landry Shammitt couldn't hit water if he fell
Speaker 1: of a boat last night. And despite all of that,
Speaker 1: we lost by two buckets. And the biggest reason why
Speaker 1: we lost is because we were out toughed and these
Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs, many of whom were too young to
Speaker 1: know better, which can be dangerous. You could be too
Speaker 1: stupid to know better, and I think that's what a
Speaker 1: lot of these guys are. Taking nothing away from their talent,
Speaker 1: but you could be too dumb to know where you belong.
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to win, but they don't know that
Speaker 1: because they're dumb. But they walked into the garden and
Speaker 1: they were tough that we were. And that's never a
Speaker 1: fact of when it comes to the Knicks. We were
Speaker 1: always a team you didn't fuck with. But Monday night
Speaker 1: they not only fucked with us, they messed with our captain.
Speaker 1: At one point late in the game, Karl Anthony Towns
Speaker 1: was being manhandled by a spur I can't remember his name.
Speaker 1: There was obviously fouling going on before the in pass,
Speaker 1: and a few feet away Victor jem begana there Superstar
Speaker 1: seven for the five stud grabbed Jalen bruns And by
Speaker 1: his head and shoved his face almost to the ground.
Speaker 1: He mushed them, which is a big disrespectful thing. Amazingly,
Speaker 1: the officials didn't see either of fense, so listen, no excuses.
Speaker 1: The Knick should have sent into some of their bigger
Speaker 1: reserves and sent the message to Wenby right then and there,
Speaker 1: but they didn't. But you don't come into New York
Speaker 1: City and treat a guy like Jalen Brunson like that.
Speaker 1: But they did, and not one Nick stood up and
Speaker 1: got in his face. Brunson did for a second, then
Speaker 1: realized he had another foul. Why get in trouble, so
Speaker 1: he kind of backed off. But fuck that. You come
Speaker 1: into our house and fuck with the bull, you get
Speaker 1: the horns, and the horns will be the difference in
Speaker 1: tonight's game, because it's like I've told you before, if
Speaker 1: you want to accomplish something, get good and mad. It's
Speaker 1: always seemed to work for me, so tonight we'd better
Speaker 1: see the next employ that same tactic because I didn't
Speaker 1: wait fifty three years to be mushed. Talk to you
Speaker 1: guys tomorrow.
