<v Speaker 1>twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, Oh three five two two five,

<v Speaker 1>great date and I think a great show, great show

9
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>on tap. Let me just check this message really quickly. Okay, um,

10
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 1>lot going on today. Took my blood test today. I'm

11
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>got my prostate check. That's what I'm doing. But I'm

12
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 1>not getting the finger in the ass. I went to

13
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the urologist the other day and pee a lot. You know,

14
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm pining too much. I don't like how much im peing.

15
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not one to get the test too often.

16
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 1>And i know I've been lax about that. I shouldn't

17
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 1>be that way at my age, but just I've been

18
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.239
<v Speaker 1>lax like everything in my life. I'm a last minute guy,

19
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>which is stupid with your health. But anyhow, I went

20
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 1>to the eurologists the other day thinking, okay, they're gonna

21
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>stick to the you know, finger in my butt and

22
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>check the press. And I get to this place and

23
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the doctor's a female. I go, wait a minute, hold

24
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>it to female other female eurologists? Do they for men?

25
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Do they do they put their finger in your ass?

26
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I want this. I'm not a finger

27
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>in the ass guy. I'm not even a knuckle in

28
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 1>the ass guy. So when you go in there to check,

29
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I've had it done a couple of times. But these

30
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>are men, doctors in Beverly Hills. I tell you, one guy,

31
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>what's my doctor, Doctor Trabulus? What a name rhymes with fabulous?

32
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Trabulus was doing it, and as he did it,

33
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what we got on the subject of

34
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I was dating a lot of girls. I was in

35
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 1>La on TV and he asked me about Actually I

36
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>think it corresponded his finger in my butt corresponded with

37
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>him asking me you get any action. It was the

38
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>worst timing for that question. But you know, anyway, she

39
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't do that, the female doctor. She just said, it

40
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really tell much with a finger, you know, So

41
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>let's get a blood test and see what that says.

42
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 1>So I'm waiting for that test. I took it today.

43
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>We'll see you in the next day or two. What

44
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>that means. Feel fine, feel great, but you know, you

45
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 1>never know. But I promise to be more proactive moving

46
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>forward with my health. You got to it's just, you know,

47
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 1>too many people around me are dropping. It's just scary,

48
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, scary. Anyway, let's talk about what's happening out there,

49
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and this show will end with a family story, which

50
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 1>you guys tend to enjoy, particularly with regard to some

51
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.879
<v Speaker 1>of the pictures I've posted on the podcast of cess

52
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 1>page from back in the forties and fifties, showing my

53
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>father and my relatives and grandparents and Rosalie. And we'll

54
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 1>get to that at the end. But I want to

55
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>ask this question, I how many articles do I have

56
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 1>to read and how many pictures do I have to see?

57
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Once a year, every year, I gotta see pictures of

58
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Reese Witherspoon and her lookalike Doughter. They love saying this,

59
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 1>they love talking about how much they look alike. I'm

60
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>sick of it. The kid's cute, Reese Witherspoon's a door.

61
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>But we get it. But every year there's stories everywhere

62
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>because Rene wishes her daughter a happy birthday, or the

63
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>daughter wishes the mother happy birthday or Merry Christmas on Instagram,

64
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the lazy press turns it into a story,

65
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and it's always about Reese Witherspoon stills feels and looks

66
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>youthful at forty nine or forty eight or forty seven,

67
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 1>same story every year. Can we move on, please? It's annoying,

68
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>it really is. I don't like to hear this. I

69
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>could never imagine working at a newspaper or a magazine

70
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>right and actually telling your editor, hey, here's a feel

71
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 1>good story. Reese Witherspoon turned a year older and she

72
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>still looks like a daughter. Wow, yeah she does. You know,

73
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 1>give me two hundred words on that. Make sure a

74
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 1>fifty of those words are spent describing what they're wearing,

75
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>even though anybody looking at the picture can see what

76
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>they're wearing. But I can't stand the way stories are

77
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:37.360
<v Speaker 1>padded in newspapers or magazines. You know, they'll never say

78
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the person's name, if they can say the such and

79
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 1>such star of you know, like if they're doing a

80
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>de Niro story, you know, the Irish The star of

81
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the Irishman was wearing brown corduroy is like, Okay, who

82
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>cares what he's wearing. It's not a beat shot, it's

83
00:04:54.120 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 1>not a bikini in Sardinia we're talking about. I'm from

84
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.639
<v Speaker 1>a different world. I used to love well. Sometimes I

85
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>used to dread heading into the afternoon meeting with all

86
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the editors at the New York Daily News, because that's

87
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>when you have to let the desk editors and the

88
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 1>guys there to ex but to expect story wise when

89
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 1>it comes to deadline, and if there was anything really

90
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>good that ought to maybe be moved out of the

91
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>gospep column and get preferential treatment on page three or

92
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>five or even the front cover, that's where it was discussed. Otherwise,

93
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 1>you tell the right people what you're working on, and

94
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>they know what to expect. The only time it sucked

95
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 1>was when whether there was some days that just nothing

96
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>was really happening, didn't have anything meaty. It was like

97
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>two two thirty three o'clock, two hours till deadline. We

98
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>need four or five stories, you know, twelve hundred words.

99
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 1>That's when I'd have to pick up the phone and

100
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>call as many plugged in people as I knew, and

101
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 1>I knew everybody back then. Sometimes I forget d the

102
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.519
<v Speaker 1>drama that happened in our office. My god, But back

103
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:13.079
<v Speaker 1>in the day, New York City had tons of bicycle messengers,

104
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>bike messengers right racing across the city, speeding through midtown traffic.

105
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>A lot of these guys would even to save time.

106
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 1>The would ride up alongside a bus or a truck

107
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 1>and they with one hand hold on to the wheel

108
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 1>well or you know, a window something, and they'd let

109
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 1>the bus or the truck move them and they wouldn't

110
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>have to peddle for a while. They'd get a break.

111
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 1>They used to call that skitching. And these messengers were

112
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>typically wiry guys, you know, very hyperactive kind of dudes

113
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>with knee peds and elbow pads. Not all of them

114
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.199
<v Speaker 1>were helmets either, But when someone had to get me

115
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a roll of film or a document, court papers, whatever,

116
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>bike messengers were the fastest way to get your shit.

117
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.199
<v Speaker 1>And I'll tell you one time I was I was

118
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.839
<v Speaker 1>in the city before I had the job. I was

119
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.720
<v Speaker 1>with my girlfriend soon to be wife at the time,

120
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm driving my Gray RX seven. I love that car,

121
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm pulling over to the right side of the

122
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.639
<v Speaker 1>road to it's the parkinged meter, and I wasn't used

123
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>to driving in the city too much, you know. I

124
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.879
<v Speaker 1>would go in there for weekends. And I flung up

125
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.639
<v Speaker 1>on the driver's side door, and a bike messenger like

126
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you see in the movies, he hit the brakes really hard,

127
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>but it was too late, and he crashed into my

128
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>door and he flew over the handleballs and nothing happened.

129
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Cursed me out. I said, what the fuck are you

130
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.399
<v Speaker 1>doing solo? You know, we both did a whole New

131
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>York little curse dance. He got back on his bike

132
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.519
<v Speaker 1>and left, and I, you know, went on my day.

133
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>But those days don't happen, and now there's laws, suits,

134
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 1>there's cops involved it all. It used to be like,

135
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 1>you're okay, I'm okay, good, okay, it was my fault.

136
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>You're right, Oh, I'll take care because we were both

137
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:56.639
<v Speaker 1>busy people had shit to do. But these bike messengers

138
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 1>depended on tips a lot, you know, and they did

139
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.079
<v Speaker 1>really well, especially on shitty days like it was raining

140
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 1>really hard or even snowing. Sometimes just too hot and

141
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.879
<v Speaker 1>too humid to be outdoors. And there was this one

142
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>day where a messenger I hadn't seen before, because we

143
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.839
<v Speaker 1>got to know them. Came into my office and to

144
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>hand me something. I was about to run to a meeting,

145
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.519
<v Speaker 1>so I told Michael to handle it. And I got

146
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.519
<v Speaker 1>back to my desk ten minutes later, and I see

147
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 1>my day book is gone. Now, back before there were

148
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.839
<v Speaker 1>iPhones that had all your contacts in there, people actually

149
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>had rollo deses on their desk or you know. I

150
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>used the leather Barrend notebook that had the names of

151
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the biggest people in New York and LA. I mean everybody.

152
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>They on me Campbell's cell phone, like I had everybody

153
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.639
<v Speaker 1>and whoever this guy was, and he was never caught.

154
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.600
<v Speaker 1>He hit the mother load my book. He hit the

155
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.399
<v Speaker 1>mother load. Not sure what he could do with those

156
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 1>numbers except Prank called him. I don't know, but he

157
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.279
<v Speaker 1>got them all. I had to start from the scratch.

158
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.080
<v Speaker 1>It was awful. It's a lot different than going up

159
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and getting your shit back from the cloud. Back then,

160
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you just start over. Anyhow, how embarrassing to have to

161
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>write that yearly non story about Reese Witherspoon looks as

162
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>young as your daughter. Okay, I think much of today's show,

163
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>especially at the top, it's going to be about these

164
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.559
<v Speaker 1>these these bullshit type stories. Okay, So in addition to

165
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Reese Witherspoon, I also see a photograph of the singer

166
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Meghan Trainer. Remember it's all about that bass that show

167
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 1>is proud of herself on being you know, the girl

168
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't skinny, she wasn't a size too. Meghan Tray

169
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 1>was proud to be a size whatever, twelve. I don't

170
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 1>know what she was. But the song all about that

171
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 1>bass meant it's all about women having a big ass,

172
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>big hips that bass, and you know, girls, a lot

173
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 1>of women latched onto it, just like they latched on

174
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>to listen. They loved hearing a girls saying who talked about, Hey,

175
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm big and I don't care. Good Good for you guys,

176
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:06.159
<v Speaker 1>I understand. But so in addition to the reason with

177
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>this one, I see this Megan Trainer pitch and she

178
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>dropped a shit ton of weight. Remember Megan Trainer was

179
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>also the girl, the married singer. I figure she married,

180
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>but they got his and her toilets. Remember, because they

181
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>said they don't mind if they both take a shit

182
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 1>in front of each other, they don't mind they walking

183
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.559
<v Speaker 1>on each other. So they thought for their their anniversary

184
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.799
<v Speaker 1>they'd buy a his and her shitter where you're both

185
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 1>like facing the other way, like your backs are kind

186
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>of together, but you're next to each other. I cannot

187
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>imagine a scenario unless me and my girl were taken

188
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 1>hostage or whatever, fought in front of a let alone. Shit,

189
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, taking a leak doesn't bother me. Better dump. No,

190
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.519
<v Speaker 1>there's somethings people shouldn't see or smell it. Just stop it.

191
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember back when I won all that junk from

192
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 1>the presenting an Emmy one of the gifts. There was

193
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.799
<v Speaker 1>so many like we can't getaways at this hotel and

194
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 1>this spa, and I took advantage of a couple of those.

195
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>One I liked was down There's a place in Santa

196
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Monica on the beach, a great hotel called Shutters. Shutters

197
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>on the beach. You might know of it. It's a

198
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 1>great place in Santa Monica, right on the water. I

199
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.240
<v Speaker 1>took the when I was dating Michelle Brandah. We went there,

200
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 1>but we weren't we just had started dating. We were like,

201
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, honeymoon phase. Right. We get to the hotel,

202
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>great beautiful, that's great restaurant. The beach is right there,

203
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and we settle in, dropped the luggage, and I got

204
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 1>an a bathroom, but number two not number one. So I

205
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>put the TV on high, because you got to do

206
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.440
<v Speaker 1>that first, because guys sound differently than girls do behind

207
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 1>closed doors. Except the doors that shutters. They're not doors

208
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 1>that close. They're doors that have slats on them, so

209
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you can hear and smell whatever goes on in that bathroom. Okay,

210
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 1>that's not the way you want to begin to relationship.

211
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.440
<v Speaker 1>But yet we still made it to two years, so

212
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess I wasn't that much of a caveman in there.

213
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of caveman, how ugly is Benny Blanco and what

214
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.559
<v Speaker 1>is Selena Gomez trying to prove? Obviously, you can't have

215
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a man that you think is prettier than you are beautiful.

216
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I've already said there's a midget in her line, there's

217
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a dwarf in her family, and Benny Blanco's is the

218
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>same thing. There's chromagnum in his family, nanderthal in his family.

219
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Look at the picture. And then I saw him have

220
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 1>an interview where he actually said that you know he's

221
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.559
<v Speaker 1>went through he's dressing nice thing. Going to all these events.

222
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>They'll probably be at the met Ball in May, and

223
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 1>he said to either Seth Myers or Jimmy Fallon, you know,

224
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I've actually become hot to some people. And he was giggling,

225
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.679
<v Speaker 1>but he kind of felt like he's now hot to

226
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>some degree. I understand the guy's a brilliant music producer.

227
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:55.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know enough about his talents to say that,

228
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.960
<v Speaker 1>but I heard he is just like Scott Storch. Is

229
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>not a good looking guy and developed such a cocaine

230
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:06.200
<v Speaker 1>addiction and pain pill addiction. But Scott Storch was like

231
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a wizard with the way he can create beats and

232
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.559
<v Speaker 1>make those beats at a piano or an organ. I

233
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>mean just he made some of the greatest beats in

234
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>hip hop. You can imagine, not another guy, but everybody,

235
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:22.960
<v Speaker 1>every girl banged him, Paris Hill, they all, they all

236
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:25.279
<v Speaker 1>wanted a piece him. I don't know what it is,

237
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:30.440
<v Speaker 1>just because he's talented. But this this Benny Blanco horrible looking,

238
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:38.480
<v Speaker 1>horrible like circus level, and Solana comes, She's happy. I

239
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 1>can't you know, I'm off on a tangent. But Megan

240
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Trader right, okay, Megan fan his and her shitters, Okay,

241
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Megan Tranda is really thin now in this picture, alarmingly thin.

242
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.720
<v Speaker 1>And she also got a boot drop that was last

243
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:57.799
<v Speaker 1>month or two months ago. Story and uh, the picture

244
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:01.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't even look like her, that's how thin she is.

245
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>And the person who wrote this article is acting like

246
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 1>it's a shock that she lost so much weight, like,

247
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 1>what did she do? What do you think she did?

248
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you think she actually hit the gym? You think

249
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:20.679
<v Speaker 1>she lifted weights? Any and all actresses and plenty of actors,

250
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.120
<v Speaker 1>actors who have terrible allergies to heavy weights. They have

251
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 1>forsaken the gym from Manjaro or Ozempik. That's what they're doing.

252
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Bet the house on it. There's no reason to wonder

253
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 1>how they went about getting thinner. Those days are over.

254
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.600
<v Speaker 1>There's no wondering anymore. Even Channing Tatum, who, by the way,

255
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:46.759
<v Speaker 1>we have so many videos in our phones of Rosalie

256
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.799
<v Speaker 1>after a wine. Now she has one wine and she's done.

257
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes she makes the man to read the while she's cooking.

258
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Why she does it, we don't know. If she does

259
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 1>it on empty stomach, she's done. She gets what she

260
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:02.799
<v Speaker 1>calls ossified on one drink. And she loves Channing Tatum.

261
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>She loves guys who can dance. And there's about four

262
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.519
<v Speaker 1>videos in my phone and Joey's phone and her phone

263
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:10.799
<v Speaker 1>of Joey saying to how do you pronounce that actor's

264
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:12.799
<v Speaker 1>name you like? And when she's drunk, she can't remember

265
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.519
<v Speaker 1>Tanning Chatham, Right, Tanny Chatham, Try again, ma, And as

266
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 1>she's thinking, we're throwing that name is like Carol Channing huh,

267
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and we're just naming the other names that sound kind

268
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>of adjacent to Channing Chanky, shit, Tanning Tanning Chatham. Then

269
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.279
<v Speaker 1>she's positive Channing Tatham, No, you're wrong again. Oh it's

270
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.480
<v Speaker 1>so crazy. So Channing Tatum apparently gained forty pounds for

271
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>a roll. I don't know what movie he was where

272
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>he appeared any different than he normally looks. I don't

273
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.639
<v Speaker 1>know what that is. But there's a before and an

274
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>after picture of him. In the after he looks great,

275
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, Rip City. The guy's got a great body.

276
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:55.480
<v Speaker 1>But the before picture he's like, I'll never play a

277
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 1>fat role again. And I'm looking at the before picture

278
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:00.759
<v Speaker 1>that he calls fat, and I want to I wish

279
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.159
<v Speaker 1>that picture were my after picture. I mean, for him,

280
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a fact pick I get it. For most of us,

281
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty to sixty year old fathers. It's as close as

282
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get to a Greek guy his before picture.

283
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll take it now. You think Channing Tatum or Tanning

284
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Chatham just jogged and Ate Paleo. No, he takes the

285
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.679
<v Speaker 1>shot too when needed, Are you kidding me? When needed?

286
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood suddenly getting thin like Megan Trainer or Rebel Wilson,

287
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Tracy Morgan, Tom Segura, Kelly Clarkson, Adele Lizzo, Sharon Osmoe Oprah,

288
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>countless others. These diabetes drugs for them would be like

289
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 1>if steroids were suddenly legal. For athletes, it'd be like

290
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Mark Wigarre, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds and Jose Kints

291
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.240
<v Speaker 1>go all over again. Every athlete in the world would

292
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>take them to get an edge like they had back then.

293
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:01.879
<v Speaker 1>For athletes, it's about strength and muscle repairs. For Hollywood,

294
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.920
<v Speaker 1>it's all about squeezing into his size two or being

295
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:09.200
<v Speaker 1>considered for a Marble movie. You know, Rachel's who's playing

296
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.920
<v Speaker 1>snow White, and because of her mouth, it's gonna be shit,

297
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.279
<v Speaker 1>and it's getting shit reviews and it's just not gonna

298
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.200
<v Speaker 1>be a big hit. She's back pedaling somewhat, but she's

299
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 1>an asshole, anti Trump, also anti Disney, anti man. You

300
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 1>know what she said, she's got a not in the

301
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:29.279
<v Speaker 1>snow white, they made it look like a child in

302
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:33.839
<v Speaker 1>snow white. But other pictures, not what she's doing, blowing

303
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.759
<v Speaker 1>her jaws, moving a mile a minute, but just regular pictures.

304
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>She is a really beautiful girl. I'm telling you. I

305
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.440
<v Speaker 1>know she looks like a kid, forget that she's not

306
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a kid, but she's a beautiful girl. Have you seen

307
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.799
<v Speaker 1>a chest on her? It's like they it's like they're

308
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 1>making themselves look like young boys, even galaic at doll.

309
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.799
<v Speaker 1>I'll get her in a second. What the all she

310
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 1>is now is an action star. She's not a good actress.

311
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>She's beautiful, but they only use her in these roles

312
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:05.559
<v Speaker 1>where she can throw a couple of high kicks and

313
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:09.720
<v Speaker 1>beat up men like the Rock and Ryan Reynolds. They

314
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.880
<v Speaker 1>just they're just filling niches with these people. They're not

315
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:17.039
<v Speaker 1>they're not getting people who've studied and are tremendous actresses

316
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.519
<v Speaker 1>and actors who can do comedy, drama, dance, sing that

317
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:25.319
<v Speaker 1>those days are over. They just they're just plugging people

318
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>in for certain Roles just I don't know. I watched

319
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.119
<v Speaker 1>TCM too much. I just I like the where it

320
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>used to be, where people actually studied to know everything

321
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:38.839
<v Speaker 1>there was about being a Hollywood star. Now it doesn't

322
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:40.839
<v Speaker 1>matter you make a Marvel movie, you'd go for life.

323
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, Ggado, I've been thinking I saw her

324
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.799
<v Speaker 1>in a film recently. It was a caper called Red Notice.

325
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Because I've seen everything on Netflix. Like I said, I

326
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.519
<v Speaker 1>can't where she outsmarts the rock and Ryan Reynolds, who

327
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I got to omit. He's funny in this movie. But

328
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.319
<v Speaker 1>the more and more I see him, especially after the

329
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.559
<v Speaker 1>whole Blake, Blively and Baldoni lawsuit, Ryan Reynolds appears more

330
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.839
<v Speaker 1>and more to come off as a caddie queer. He

331
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:16.160
<v Speaker 1>reminds me of a homocentral who's married and the wife

332
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.079
<v Speaker 1>doesn't know, or maybe she does know. But it's a

333
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.839
<v Speaker 1>good it's a good union, it's a good business partnership.

334
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I swear to God, because he's always funny with those asides,

335
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:28.839
<v Speaker 1>he does or looks to the left or right, or

336
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:32.359
<v Speaker 1>breaks the fourth wall and speaks directly to the camera right.

337
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've seen him in a few things recently,

338
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and I can tell whether it's Red Notice or The

339
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:43.599
<v Speaker 1>Adam Project or Deadpool, that he writes his own shit.

340
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Whoever the screenwriters are in these movies, they give him

341
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:50.599
<v Speaker 1>the script that he makes changes. That doesn't happen much too. Actors,

342
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:56.039
<v Speaker 1>four actors he has to because there cannot be three

343
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.799
<v Speaker 1>or four separate screenwriters. Who's who's perfectly captured his language

344
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.720
<v Speaker 1>and unique sense of humor? That's they know? Why is

345
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.079
<v Speaker 1>that important? Why does that matter? It really doesn't accept it.

346
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 1>If you think about it, you can kind of put

347
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:13.079
<v Speaker 1>two and two together to better understand the kind of

348
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:17.240
<v Speaker 1>person he is. Because, as we know, Blake Lively has

349
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:23.079
<v Speaker 1>bragged that Ryan wrote the entire Rooftop Flirty Sexy scene

350
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:26.759
<v Speaker 1>where Blake and Baldoni first meet in that movie. It

351
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.960
<v Speaker 1>ends with us, right, And when you watch that scene,

352
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.240
<v Speaker 1>it's called that ends with rough right. Yeah, I've actually

353
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.920
<v Speaker 1>forgotten the name of the film because it's all about

354
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the lawsuit. But yeah, I'm pretty sure it ends with us.

355
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.160
<v Speaker 1>But you watch that scene and you hear that, the

356
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:43.680
<v Speaker 1>jokes and the dialogue, it's pure Ryan Reynolds. And on

357
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:47.680
<v Speaker 1>top of that, if you remember back on SNL's fiftieth

358
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:50.920
<v Speaker 1>anniversary show. There was that moment in the beginning where

359
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Amy Poehler and Tina Fay come out and they're looking

360
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:57.960
<v Speaker 1>across the audience trying to spot the famous people sitting down,

361
00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:00.839
<v Speaker 1>and they go, hey, there's Ryan Reynolds. Hey, Ryan, how's

362
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:04.640
<v Speaker 1>it going right in the fit of the lawsuit conversation?

363
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>And Ryan stands up all smiles and Blake Lively looking

364
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.880
<v Speaker 1>very glamorous to his left. She's beautiful, but you know,

365
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't like her as much over all as bullshit,

366
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>But anyhow, she is a beautiful woman, even though she

367
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>changed her face like everybody else has done in this town.

368
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:31.480
<v Speaker 1>But Ryan says nervously, everything's great. Why what have you heard? Haha?

369
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Audience laughs awkwardly. Now the story is that wasn't the

370
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:38.759
<v Speaker 1>way that bit was supposed to go. Nobody was supposed

371
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.079
<v Speaker 1>to find us out. But what happened was the guy

372
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.359
<v Speaker 1>who's held up the cute cards for SNL and Seth

373
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Myers and he even did Carson Daily Show. This guy's

374
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:50.039
<v Speaker 1>been at this job for like thirty or forty years,

375
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Wally Ferriston. They call them Wally cute cards. He was

376
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.799
<v Speaker 1>being interviewed for some reason by some people in the

377
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.799
<v Speaker 1>Australian press, and they asked about that moment. They were

378
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.920
<v Speaker 1>obviously fishing to get some information on Ryan and Blake

379
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and just They asked about that moment when Amy and

380
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Tina and Ryan made that comment, and uh, you know,

381
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:14.519
<v Speaker 1>was it tense? How did ago that night? You know,

382
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:17.640
<v Speaker 1>with everything in the press, And Wily innocently said, oh,

383
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.279
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't what was originally written, so I have to

384
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.680
<v Speaker 1>change the hue card. Yeah.

385
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Ryan didn't like the line they gave him, so

386
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.680
<v Speaker 2>he changed it to what he said. Now, it's not

387
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:32.799
<v Speaker 2>very important in the scheme of things, but it does

388
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.039
<v Speaker 2>show you how hands on he is with his words

389
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:37.519
<v Speaker 2>and his wife's words.

390
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how crafted. In other words, he's been, to

391
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.240
<v Speaker 1>use that word again, crafting their image as a couple

392
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot. And I firmly believe, especially with the way

393
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Blake kissed justin so passionately. But more than that, there

394
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 1>was one particular kiss where she bit his lower lip

395
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:02.759
<v Speaker 1>at one point. That kind of stuff isn't written in

396
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:06.440
<v Speaker 1>scripts generally. That's something that happens when you're into someone,

397
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:09.559
<v Speaker 1>and I think she was into him in that scene

398
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and during that film, and I think Ryan Reynolds got

399
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:14.279
<v Speaker 1>jealous with the way she was getting along with this

400
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.599
<v Speaker 1>co star. And I'll always believe this whole lawsuit thing

401
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Blake was pushed by Ryan Reynolds to go through with

402
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.480
<v Speaker 1>it because of his own insecurity because I don't know,

403
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:30.119
<v Speaker 1>possibly being gay. Maybe I don't know, may have gotten

404
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:34.880
<v Speaker 1>him jealous. Anyhow, long tangent back to Megan Trainer follow

405
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:39.200
<v Speaker 1>me here looking real Finn she is. Last month or so,

406
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:41.400
<v Speaker 1>she was excited to get new boobs, like I said,

407
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:44.799
<v Speaker 1>And I think she had complained because after having two

408
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.640
<v Speaker 1>young sons back to back, her boobs had gotten deflated.

409
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:51.920
<v Speaker 1>A lot of women talk about this, I understand, and

410
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:54.720
<v Speaker 1>she needed something to make herself feel better. Good for her.

411
00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I always say, if you don't like when you see

412
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:59.559
<v Speaker 1>in the mirror, change it. By the way, speaking the mirrors,

413
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.519
<v Speaker 1>the urologist has me stand Oh, I didn't tell you this.

414
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:06.240
<v Speaker 1>She was a very hands on doctor, and by that

415
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:11.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean she wanted to do, you know, none investigating.

416
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.599
<v Speaker 1>She wanted to look at my package. And I'm not

417
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.400
<v Speaker 1>really I don't get funny around doctors, even if female.

418
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Whether it's a nurse or a doctor, I don't care.

419
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm where I'm supposed to be have at it, so

420
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I dropped my pants obviously, you know, whenever you're nervous,

421
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the guy shoots back into your body a look like

422
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.799
<v Speaker 1>a turtle hat. That happens, you know, But I didn't care,

423
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:36.079
<v Speaker 1>and it didn't even shoot back that far. So I

424
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 1>was feeling pretty good. And she's feeling around me, and

425
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:43.720
<v Speaker 1>she goes, have you felt different lately? And again just

426
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:49.119
<v Speaker 1>grubbing the my thing and my bulls. I'm looking for

427
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.359
<v Speaker 1>her nis and I don't. She finally were in front

428
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 1>of a full length mirror and I'm watching her handle

429
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.599
<v Speaker 1>me like a substape, and she goes, oh, I see

430
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.359
<v Speaker 1>a little hearing your belly button. I said, what she says,

431
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you have a little hernia your belly button. I said,

432
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen that, but I never look at my body.

433
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:08.960
<v Speaker 1>She goes, you need to. You gotta inspect your buddy.

434
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:10.960
<v Speaker 1>And I looked at my belly button for the first time,

435
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know since I'm thirty eight, and I

436
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:15.559
<v Speaker 1>see the right side of my belly buttons got a

437
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:20.480
<v Speaker 1>little bump belly button HERNIAU phunu. But yeah, she worked

438
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:22.559
<v Speaker 1>me over and they asked me to write a review

439
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:24.799
<v Speaker 1>of how Well do you Feel at north Shore blah

440
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 1>blah blah, and I said, I like the way Angelica

441
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Kaslowski handled me, and I mean handled me. She has

442
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:34.759
<v Speaker 1>very warm hands and a great disposition. Hope she reads that.

443
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:39.480
<v Speaker 1>So Meghan Trader, good for he wants to feel better,

444
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:42.279
<v Speaker 1>get yourself some boobs. Great. But if I were Meghan Trader,

445
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:46.119
<v Speaker 1>I would have gotten that nose fixed before anything. Take

446
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:48.799
<v Speaker 1>a look at the picture of her kneeling down, very thin,

447
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:51.839
<v Speaker 1>and she's making the heart sign with her fingers. You know,

448
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:54.799
<v Speaker 1>the heart with your thumbs and index fingers, or if

449
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:58.359
<v Speaker 1>you're really obnoxious, all four fingers up top and the

450
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:00.519
<v Speaker 1>two thumbs and you gotta hold it by heart and

451
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:04.160
<v Speaker 1>push it out. That's worse than Hal Hitler. To me,

452
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:06.759
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather see a Hitler salute than than the fucking

453
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.960
<v Speaker 1>ten thing is doing the heart. I can't stand it.

454
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Whenever I see Ariana Grande or the green bitch from

455
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Wicked doing that, I want to snap their fingers in half.

456
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I hate the fingerhart thing. So I'm looking at Megan Trainer,

457
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.680
<v Speaker 1>especially her nose, and I couldn't help but think what

458
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:25.599
<v Speaker 1>my father would say if he was still alive to

459
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:28.160
<v Speaker 1>see this, he would have said, my own, This one's

460
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:30.519
<v Speaker 1>got the map of Israel on her face. He always

461
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.799
<v Speaker 1>called people with big noses, they look like the map

462
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.680
<v Speaker 1>of Israel. Normally those people are Jewish, you know, Jewish noses.

463
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Jews have noses that are very distinct. Some Italians do too,

464
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:43.799
<v Speaker 1>look at Justin Baldoni. Matter of fact, a lot of

465
00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:45.759
<v Speaker 1>good looking guys have noses that are a little bit

466
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.599
<v Speaker 1>too big for their head. I think, so it's my finding.

467
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:56.000
<v Speaker 1>But like Chuck Schuma, Chuck Schuma, his nose gives him

468
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:58.359
<v Speaker 1>a face that could be the map of Israel, but

469
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:01.519
<v Speaker 1>he's Jewish. Megan Training is not you, so it's weird.

470
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:04.279
<v Speaker 1>But me while my father had a big nose, so

471
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing is weird. That even says it. I

472
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:09.720
<v Speaker 1>thought I got my mother's Roman nose. Speaking of my father.

473
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:13.599
<v Speaker 1>The last few days, I've had a picture dump on

474
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the Facebook podcast Obsessed page, and the pictures have been

475
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:20.480
<v Speaker 1>from the late forties into the fifties. They were taken

476
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:23.119
<v Speaker 1>back in the day when my father and mother, as

477
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.759
<v Speaker 1>well as many aunts and uncles, would leave Brooklyn or

478
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Queens or Bronx wherever they were living and they'd spend

479
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.839
<v Speaker 1>the weekends at this place my grandmother had out in

480
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:37.839
<v Speaker 1>the country in New Jersey. The house, little house on

481
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:42.119
<v Speaker 1>like twenty acres of land on a lake, streams, the

482
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:45.799
<v Speaker 1>very nice wild animals roaming, not wild, not lions, you know,

483
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.799
<v Speaker 1>like animals. Only Roselie in the rain went to this place.

484
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't born yet. I wish I were, because the

485
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:55.440
<v Speaker 1>pictures and the stories that I grew up hearing, they

486
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:59.000
<v Speaker 1>were so fun to listen to. This place was where

487
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:03.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody would spend weekends. Look at how rich knobs and

488
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.440
<v Speaker 1>celebrities leave this New York city and flock to the Hamptons. Well,

489
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:12.440
<v Speaker 1>this place was in a town called bud Lake. There

490
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>was another house in a town called Upper Hibernia that

491
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I sometimes confuse. That's the story for another day. Either way,

492
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:24.519
<v Speaker 1>we referred to this place as the country, or those

493
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:29.079
<v Speaker 1>years as the country. But you know how if you

494
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:31.000
<v Speaker 1>move around a lot, or if you've left your house

495
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:33.079
<v Speaker 1>or two houses. Most of us live in two or

496
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:36.480
<v Speaker 1>three houses as we get older, you know, and whenever

497
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:39.960
<v Speaker 1>you're telling the story, you'll always preface the story by saying,

498
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:44.000
<v Speaker 1>remember back on Lington Street, like you'll mention the address

499
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you know how we go to the beach on Saturdays

500
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:49.359
<v Speaker 1>when we lived on Arlington. You know, hey, let's just

501
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:51.240
<v Speaker 1>think of that an Terry have her daughter once you

502
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.079
<v Speaker 1>lived on at least deck or was that that the

503
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:55.359
<v Speaker 1>grand planes has. I don't know why we do that,

504
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.640
<v Speaker 1>as if we need to be shocked into that era

505
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:02.119
<v Speaker 1>to correctly remember a story, but against the person in

506
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the proper state of mind. You know, do we have

507
00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:08.039
<v Speaker 1>this car on Sneeker review or was not taken from Brooklyn?

508
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:10.400
<v Speaker 1>There's stupid questions like that. So I grew up with

509
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.599
<v Speaker 1>many great tales from the country, and as I got older,

510
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:20.079
<v Speaker 1>as you know, my family always had cameras around. As

511
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you can tell, I'm so thankful for that, because now

512
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:26.720
<v Speaker 1>that's none, they're all gone. I cherished those pictures more

513
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.079
<v Speaker 1>than anything. And we were moving this big trunk that

514
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:32.279
<v Speaker 1>belonged to my grandmother, and Roseley has it in that

515
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:35.400
<v Speaker 1>trunk or all photo album. So I took the big

516
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.359
<v Speaker 1>trunk downstairs and I opened all these albums, and oh

517
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:40.680
<v Speaker 1>my god, I love what comes out. So many great shots,

518
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>some of which I've never seen before. But when we

519
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:45.880
<v Speaker 1>were younger, living on Long Island, living at the Snetter

520
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Care Avenue house. Many times after a big Sunday meal,

521
00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 1>we would start to beg my father, Daddy, can we

522
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:55.839
<v Speaker 1>see home movies tonight? Can we see home movies? I

523
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:57.680
<v Speaker 1>want to see the country. I want to see Brooklyn.

524
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:01.480
<v Speaker 1>And that meant that I all into the walking closet

525
00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:05.279
<v Speaker 1>under the stairs and pull out the projector and the

526
00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:09.319
<v Speaker 1>white screen on which we'd watch a bunch of old

527
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:13.119
<v Speaker 1>eight and sixteen millimeter films of bygone days. I mean,

528
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:16.559
<v Speaker 1>and Mary had a shit ton of films from all

529
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:19.359
<v Speaker 1>of her world travels. I mean, I hate to say,

530
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:21.279
<v Speaker 1>but we got rid of them when Rosie and Jack move.

531
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:24.720
<v Speaker 1>We just I just threwmn, like who even has that

532
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:28.200
<v Speaker 1>projector anymore? Who's even gonna convert them? We're not. It

533
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:33.440
<v Speaker 1>was a Marian Polity, French Polynesia, Alaska, Africa, feeding groupers

534
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.400
<v Speaker 1>with a diving bell and the butterfly outfit, like Mary

535
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 1>was crazy. But they're gone. But there's plenty of videos

536
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:44.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Brooklyn days and the country days, and there

537
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:47.640
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of me as a baby in benzonurse Brooklyn.

538
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:51.279
<v Speaker 1>But I love watching the movies from the Country because

539
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:54.319
<v Speaker 1>I was in awe that all the stories I'd heard

540
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.799
<v Speaker 1>that was like living proof. I'd see the proof in

541
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:03.960
<v Speaker 1>flickering images of black and white or muted color, sepia tones,

542
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:08.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, like that movie Big Fish with Albert Finney.

543
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I love that movie so much because this movie was

544
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:14.640
<v Speaker 1>about a guy who told great, big stories, you know,

545
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:19.200
<v Speaker 1>like unbelievable type stories that his son didn't believe. See

546
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the movie Big Fish. It's one of my top ten movies.

547
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:24.279
<v Speaker 1>It's so beautiful. But throughout the end of the movie

548
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:27.519
<v Speaker 1>it comes to he comes to learn that all those

549
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.039
<v Speaker 1>stories his father told were true. And I won't tell

550
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:32.400
<v Speaker 1>you how he knows, but it's a brilliant ending. It's

551
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:37.279
<v Speaker 1>so sweet. So you have those videos, I'm sure at

552
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:39.799
<v Speaker 1>home where everybody's in the videos moving a little quicker

553
00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:41.559
<v Speaker 1>than they normally do. I don't know why that film

554
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:44.680
<v Speaker 1>made people look quicker, like throwing a football or catching

555
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:47.319
<v Speaker 1>catching the ball, flipping a burger on the grill. Everything

556
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.319
<v Speaker 1>was a little quicker two seconds quicker. Billy Crystal is

557
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:54.119
<v Speaker 1>a great bit where he imitates the days of watching

558
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.519
<v Speaker 1>old movies like that and how sons and fathers have

559
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.359
<v Speaker 1>baseball catches happened so quick with the ball in the midt.

560
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Don't why the film was just quicker back then, but

561
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:04.279
<v Speaker 1>I guess the flickering made it seem that way. But

562
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:09.119
<v Speaker 1>I had forever heard stories about how my grandmother built

563
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:12.400
<v Speaker 1>her own rock garden with these great big stones that

564
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:16.680
<v Speaker 1>her son's my father and brother Larry and Phil would

565
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:20.960
<v Speaker 1>collect from all over the property. And my father would

566
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:23.799
<v Speaker 1>tell me stories of how he would unearth these great

567
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:27.000
<v Speaker 1>big stones and carry them to his mother where he

568
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.200
<v Speaker 1>and his brothers and cousins would help her cement them

569
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.200
<v Speaker 1>in place. Matter of fact, when I got older and

570
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:33.759
<v Speaker 1>my father's physique became important to me because he always

571
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:36.640
<v Speaker 1>had a great physique. Dad, you didn't lift weights, No,

572
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:40.160
<v Speaker 1>what weights? What weights? How'd you get muscles? How'd you

573
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:42.559
<v Speaker 1>from working in the country, from working, you know, will

574
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:46.240
<v Speaker 1>barrel shovels? You know, No, I don't know. Yeah, that's

575
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:50.440
<v Speaker 1>so you get muscles. It's different era, different time, lift

576
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>them up, big sacks of dirt and this and that. Okay.

577
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:59.480
<v Speaker 1>So it was there that grandma w grow you vegetables,

578
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.079
<v Speaker 1>that herb and of course there were fruit trees everywhere.

579
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:04.359
<v Speaker 1>There are pictures out posted my father and other men

580
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.960
<v Speaker 1>building a wooden structure. One was a big chicken coop

581
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.200
<v Speaker 1>because at one point, a weasel came in and killed

582
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:11.839
<v Speaker 1>all the grandma's chickens, so they had to build a

583
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>bigger coop, but the right kind of wiring. There was

584
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:18.720
<v Speaker 1>also an addition they built into the house. And I

585
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:20.839
<v Speaker 1>just asked Rosie what they were building in this picture,

586
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and she said, my mother and father had My father

587
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>just came home from war. Rosalie was like two years old,

588
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:29.000
<v Speaker 1>and don't forget, my father didn't see over the first

589
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:32.359
<v Speaker 1>eighteen months. He was still overseas. So they built a

590
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:35.599
<v Speaker 1>small addition or a honeymoon suite that was for him

591
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and my mother and Rosalie for more privacy. But the

592
00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:41.759
<v Speaker 1>country was where they fished and hunted. It of course

593
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:44.799
<v Speaker 1>ate these great, great big meals, and it was also

594
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:47.359
<v Speaker 1>where the younger cousins could run wild through all these

595
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.039
<v Speaker 1>acres of forests and streams and get away from city life.

596
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:53.839
<v Speaker 1>And Rosie told me one of the big adventures back

597
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:57.599
<v Speaker 1>then was they visited a supermarket. You know, it was

598
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.759
<v Speaker 1>a place that was obviously the precursor for what markets

599
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 1>look like today, but way way smaller. Obviously, before that,

600
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.320
<v Speaker 1>they either took food with them from Brooklyn or went

601
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:11.519
<v Speaker 1>to the one general store for staples around the house,

602
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and Rosie was telling me she also remembers as as

603
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:17.480
<v Speaker 1>that way of life not being so great since there

604
00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 1>was no plumbing in the country. Everybody had to use

605
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.840
<v Speaker 1>an outhouse and the water pump from the well to

606
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:28.239
<v Speaker 1>get water. Just very different kind of lifestyle. But the

607
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:30.960
<v Speaker 1>one picture I posted yesterday was one of my father.

608
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd never seen his picture before, holding a scythe in

609
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:37.960
<v Speaker 1>his right hand, and in front of him is a great,

610
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:41.679
<v Speaker 1>big turtle hanging from a tree branch. Looks like a big,

611
00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:46.599
<v Speaker 1>stopping turtle and there's twine around its neck. And I

612
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:49.400
<v Speaker 1>was struck by that post because my father loved animals,

613
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:52.039
<v Speaker 1>and I remember him as a man who would fall

614
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.119
<v Speaker 1>to the floor whenever he got home from work and

615
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:58.079
<v Speaker 1>play with our two months Sonny and Pippin before it

616
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 1>even ate dinner. He'd spend five ten minutes on the

617
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.239
<v Speaker 1>floor tickling them, rubbing their bellies. And he always liked

618
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:06.800
<v Speaker 1>to do what I found myself doing to tutsi as

619
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I had done to dogs in the past, and that

620
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:12.079
<v Speaker 1>was to hold their faces and push their nose, their

621
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:15.159
<v Speaker 1>wet noses into your cheeks, or he take the dog

622
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:17.800
<v Speaker 1>or cat's hat and put it gently under his chin,

623
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:20.840
<v Speaker 1>with his teeth clenched, his hand bespatching them on their bellies.

624
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:23.039
<v Speaker 1>I do the same thing. Probably many of you do too.

625
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:27.880
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Lorrainium, Rosey's first dog was a little Pomeranian

626
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:31.679
<v Speaker 1>named Tutu. His real name was Ozi as an o

627
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:34.679
<v Speaker 1>z and it had a little something to do with

628
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:37.880
<v Speaker 1>my father getting grief when he worked under cover for

629
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the US Treasury. His higher ups didn't like that he

630
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:43.880
<v Speaker 1>accepted this puppy from one of his informants. You can't

631
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:47.159
<v Speaker 1>do that. This guy came upon a litter of Pomeranians,

632
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:49.920
<v Speaker 1>asked my father would his daughters liked them? He said,

633
00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:54.519
<v Speaker 1>of course. He took Tutu or Ozi called Osie because

634
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:57.639
<v Speaker 1>in the drug trade, Ozi meaning ounce was how they

635
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:01.440
<v Speaker 1>measure drug. So Ozi was the day and my father

636
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:03.960
<v Speaker 1>surprised Rosalie in the rain with this little fur ball.

637
00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.760
<v Speaker 1>And then in time he bought a female Pomeranian, so

638
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:11.599
<v Speaker 1>so Ozie could make anyhow, I'm saying he loved animals,

639
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:14.239
<v Speaker 1>So why is he in the picture holding a scythe

640
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:17.960
<v Speaker 1>by this poor dead turtle? Did they eat? Rosie said?

641
00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:19.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember us eating it? But then she put

642
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:22.320
<v Speaker 1>on a sad face. She said, I don't know if

643
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:24.840
<v Speaker 1>he ate that or not, but you know, she did

644
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:27.519
<v Speaker 1>say that this was a period, or there was a

645
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:29.480
<v Speaker 1>period after he got home from the war where he

646
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:31.920
<v Speaker 1>would go off into the woods and try and bring

647
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:36.639
<v Speaker 1>birds and small game home to eat, and shockingly, sometimes

648
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:40.159
<v Speaker 1>just to shoot. I mean, he was a great marksman.

649
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I have all the certificates and plaques that show his ability.

650
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:45.199
<v Speaker 1>While he was in law enforcement and shit like that,

651
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:48.079
<v Speaker 1>and in the Coastguard, he was always like first when

652
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:51.119
<v Speaker 1>it came to the marksmanship. So I asked, roh, what

653
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.880
<v Speaker 1>do you mean he just would hurt animals, because that's

654
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:56.920
<v Speaker 1>not like him at all. And she says she remembers

655
00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:58.719
<v Speaker 1>a period when she was very young when my father

656
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:03.239
<v Speaker 1>was with his gun everywhere. He had these rifles, a

657
00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:05.840
<v Speaker 1>car being and a twenty two he'd sent home and

658
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:10.079
<v Speaker 1>pieces from overseas and put him back together when he

659
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:13.920
<v Speaker 1>got home, and he used them to hunt and whatever

660
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:17.159
<v Speaker 1>the hell. So, in addition to that turtle, she said,

661
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:19.920
<v Speaker 1>there was a day when he shot and injured an owl,

662
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:24.320
<v Speaker 1>and there were other instances too that she remembers not

663
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.719
<v Speaker 1>being happy, and because she loves animals, But the story goes,

664
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:31.159
<v Speaker 1>and I remember my father telling me this when I

665
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:33.079
<v Speaker 1>was a kid, I asked him why he didn't like

666
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:36.039
<v Speaker 1>to go hunting, and he told me this story about

667
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:39.719
<v Speaker 1>one day, while hunting in the country, he set his

668
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.199
<v Speaker 1>sights on a female deer, A young doe was kind

669
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.519
<v Speaker 1>of close to him, certainly within shooting range, and he

670
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:48.960
<v Speaker 1>got into place and he, you know, he fired his

671
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.880
<v Speaker 1>rifle and down went this dough. Now I would imagine

672
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:54.559
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be brought back to eat. You know,

673
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:57.000
<v Speaker 1>people ate venison, and that would have been a great

674
00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:59.480
<v Speaker 1>big meal and for many meals to go freeze the

675
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:01.559
<v Speaker 1>meat had said. But before my father could go and

676
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:05.559
<v Speaker 1>grab the dead deer, he spots this big buck who

677
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:09.760
<v Speaker 1>apparently was with this dough was kind of lagging behind.

678
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:13.559
<v Speaker 1>And this great buck walks up to this dead dough

679
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and sniffs her, looks at my father, looks back at

680
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:21.440
<v Speaker 1>the dead deer, and he picks up his chin and

681
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:23.519
<v Speaker 1>looks at my father again, and this time he began

682
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:26.760
<v Speaker 1>to take several steps toward my father. I mean, had

683
00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:29.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, big head and everything. It was not going

684
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to be a pleasant scene. And my father always told

685
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:35.760
<v Speaker 1>me after that incident, he felt such shame and disgusted

686
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:38.320
<v Speaker 1>with himself that he never hunted an animal again, let

687
00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:41.000
<v Speaker 1>alone go on a hunt. And for the rest of

688
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:43.320
<v Speaker 1>his life, he only shot that rifle on the fourth

689
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.239
<v Speaker 1>of July. We always celebrated his birthday on the fourth.

690
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:48.760
<v Speaker 1>He was born July fifth. We celebrated on the fourth,

691
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:51.679
<v Speaker 1>and on that night every year, he'd take me up

692
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:54.239
<v Speaker 1>to the deck, which was right off his the master bedroom,

693
00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and he'd fire about five shots into the black night

694
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:00.960
<v Speaker 1>sky high above us, into the and over the Great

695
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:05.239
<v Speaker 1>South Bay. I guess those bullets never landed into someone's

696
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:08.000
<v Speaker 1>boat or into someone's body while they were fishing at night.

697
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:10.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I mean, we never read a story

698
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:12.079
<v Speaker 1>about a fisherman being shot dead in his boat, so

699
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I guess those bullets landed harmlessly into the water. But

700
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:19.360
<v Speaker 1>there was one particularly frightening day, and there's a picture

701
00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:21.679
<v Speaker 1>to prove it. I can't find it. It was always

702
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:24.840
<v Speaker 1>in Rosalie's dining room. She might know where it is.

703
00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll post it if I find it, because it's exactly

704
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:31.039
<v Speaker 1>this story. There was this one day, very frightening day,

705
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:33.480
<v Speaker 1>when he had his car being with him. I think

706
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:36.440
<v Speaker 1>it was whatever it was the twenty two were it

707
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:39.880
<v Speaker 1>had a sight on it right, a scope, I should say,

708
00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:42.960
<v Speaker 1>and he was an expert with that scope. Everybody knew that.

709
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:46.320
<v Speaker 1>But one day, I'm sure, with a belly full of

710
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:50.599
<v Speaker 1>my grandmother's homemade red wine, he ordered Rosalie to hold

711
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:53.239
<v Speaker 1>a small stick in her hand to the side of

712
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:55.639
<v Speaker 1>her body and above her head. I don't know what

713
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:58.760
<v Speaker 1>she was ten eleven, I don't even know. He tells

714
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:02.119
<v Speaker 1>her to walk twenty thirty feet away and face him.

715
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:05.119
<v Speaker 1>And when my relatives saw what was about to happen,

716
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:07.840
<v Speaker 1>obviously my father was showing off that he could shoot

717
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.679
<v Speaker 1>the stick clean from his young daughter's fingers, they all

718
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:14.480
<v Speaker 1>began to beg him to stop. But my father had

719
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:17.960
<v Speaker 1>a bad way about him. But unfortunately I've inherited that

720
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:22.880
<v Speaker 1>sometimes nobody could tell him nothing. So Rosalie goes, walks

721
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:26.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty steps away, hauls up the stick. My father lowers

722
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:28.719
<v Speaker 1>his chin to the barrel of the rifle. Imagine you're

723
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:32.800
<v Speaker 1>a mother and that's your daughter, closes his right eye

724
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:35.599
<v Speaker 1>and looks through the scope with his left, and then

725
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:39.440
<v Speaker 1>he asked, Rosalie Railroad, do you trust your father? Yes, daddy.

726
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Then he squeezed the trigger and the stick was blown

727
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:47.039
<v Speaker 1>from her hand. It's when Rosalie tells me those stories

728
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:50.400
<v Speaker 1>that I complainly see that. In the past, she's told

729
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:53.039
<v Speaker 1>me that the father she grew up with and the

730
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:57.880
<v Speaker 1>one who raised me were two entirely different men. And

731
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I shudder to think that that's the truth, but I

732
00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:06.239
<v Speaker 1>know it is. You always think your father is your father,

733
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:10.039
<v Speaker 1>whether it's nineteen forty five or nineteen eighty five. But

734
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:14.719
