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. Is uh the guy put the cock
Speaker 1: in the peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody aj Benzi
Speaker 1: here with fame is a bitch. This is your free show, Yes,
Speaker 1: your free show. It's Sunday eleven, sixteen, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: One one six, two oh two five. Hope I didn't
Speaker 1: confuse you with reading that day. Normally we go one
Speaker 1: one one six two oh two five. Sometimes it's fun
Speaker 1: to go one one one six two oh two five.
Speaker 1: People have no idea what to do. My number, of course,
Speaker 1: it is six three one nine three five six two
Speaker 1: fa people, wait, wait, wait, do that again. We're just
Speaker 1: creatures of habit. Speaking of creatures of habit, I am.
Speaker 1: When there's a new guy that comes on the on
Speaker 1: the scene in Hollywood, I'm always a little let's wait
Speaker 1: a minute. I get very judgmental. Glenn Powell, for instance,
Speaker 1: very handsome guy, square jord guy comes out of the
Speaker 1: forties and fifties in terms of this is the way
Speaker 1: a guy in Hollywood is supposed to look, tall, chiseled,
Speaker 1: good physique, great face, great smile. Physical comedy is his
Speaker 1: forte as well. And I got to tell you I
Speaker 1: didn't like him to begin with, but you know what,
Speaker 1: I watched SNL last night. Well I knew this before
Speaker 1: I watched SNL, but I've made room in my life
Speaker 1: at Glenn Powell. I didn't like him, especially when it
Speaker 1: was said that he was banging Sidney Sweeney, who we
Speaker 1: all know is my internet girlfriend. I didn't like that.
Speaker 1: I know between her and I there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: years as an age discrepancy, of course, but what she
Speaker 1: likes about me you can't measure in birthdays. It's just
Speaker 1: something I possess. So she's been, you know, into me.
Speaker 1: We've kept it very quiet. We're going slow because listen,
Speaker 1: I just got out of a relationship. I'm going to
Speaker 1: rush into the next one. I mean how famous she is,
Speaker 1: but you know, I told her she could maybe lose
Speaker 1: a little weight, and you know she's obliging. Cold. You
Speaker 1: imagine cold, You imagine being a guy that's rumored to
Speaker 1: be banging Sydney Sweeney. He probably did. When you look
Speaker 1: at the movie they made a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: and you realize she was about to leave her fiance
Speaker 1: who was very too controlling. But I don't know what else.
Speaker 1: I mean, this poor bastard. You land a girl like her,
Speaker 1: and Hollywood takes her in and suddenly she's whipping her
Speaker 1: top off every week on Euphoria and she's getting laid
Speaker 1: by all that. I mean, your wife's about to get crazy.
Speaker 1: And then Hollywood saw and the public saw just how
Speaker 1: sexy she can act on top of being sexy. Oh,
Speaker 1: forget about it, this chit is gonna go so far.
Speaker 1: Forget that her last movie about the female boxer bombed.
Speaker 1: That's because nobody wants to see her in anything that
Speaker 1: doesn't show her assets. She's got to do that for
Speaker 1: a number of years. When she's in her forties, then
Speaker 1: she can do those roles where who she really got
Speaker 1: deep into the character, you know that, Not until she
Speaker 1: could play somebody with leprosy when she's forty eight. But
Speaker 1: right now, just smile, show your tits, show your ass.
Speaker 1: You're gonna make tens and tens of millions. She knows this,
Speaker 1: But Glenn pal didn't like him because I thought he's
Speaker 1: banging Sydney Sweeney. That bastard, that lucky motherfucker. That's the
Speaker 1: way guys are. We can't stand that that someone's getting
Speaker 1: to a spot. We want to get to it, even
Speaker 1: if it's inconceivable how we get there. And if you
Speaker 1: guy like me who's done the impossible, you still think, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I've done crazy. There might be
Speaker 1: a chance. I know this not but you tell yourself that.
Speaker 1: But anyhow, this guy, I've watched him when it was
Speaker 1: Hulu show. I watched the last few movies he's done.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you it's pretty funny. He's got good
Speaker 1: comedy chops. So I've let him. I've opened up room
Speaker 1: in my life for Glenn Powell. I never thought I would,
Speaker 1: and now I like him. I wish he was with
Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney and not that Scooter Braun pussy. So you
Speaker 1: see how weird life gets complete what eighty like I
Speaker 1: did with Trump, wanted to kill him, told him I'd
Speaker 1: kill him on national radio. And now I'd throw myself
Speaker 1: in front of a bullet for the guy. Yes I would.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you maybe disillusion but I
Speaker 1: don't give a shit. I love that guy. I love
Speaker 1: what he stands for, and I like America being run
Speaker 1: by him. I'm sorry it's me, but I'll tell you
Speaker 1: who became a big star the other night. I've been
Speaker 1: watching SNL since nineteen seventy five. I watched the first
Speaker 1: episode as a thirteen year old kid. We're fishing the
Speaker 1: next morning, Sunday morning, on the Great South Bay, Eat
Speaker 1: my father, my brother in law's Jack and Frankie, and
Speaker 1: we had all the tools. We were fishing for flounder,
Speaker 1: which is like we call a chicken of the sea,
Speaker 1: just a great white meat fish. The bay was crystal
Speaker 1: clear back then, before the fertilizers and bullshit from all
Speaker 1: neighborhoods ran off into the sewers and got pumped into
Speaker 1: the beautiful bay. But back then it was an oasis.
Speaker 1: You could see the bottom seven feet down. We'd move
Speaker 1: our bait if a flounder was too small, and flounders
Speaker 1: weren't easy to see because they lay on the bay
Speaker 1: floor like carpets. But sometimes they move and the colors
Speaker 1: on their back they all these these little it looks
Speaker 1: like snowflakes. They turned white when they move. It's beautiful
Speaker 1: like a trout looks like a rainbow. When you're fishing
Speaker 1: flounder and fluke had these white spots on their back
Speaker 1: that come to life when they moved. So we're plunging
Speaker 1: the bottom with We had big poles from our pools,
Speaker 1: vacuum fingers, and we put toilet plunges so we'd make
Speaker 1: the bottom get all up tunded. And founder of swimming
Speaker 1: all over the place and smelling baity threw corn in
Speaker 1: there for chum, and we come back with fifteen twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five flounder. Give it to the neighbors. My mother
Speaker 1: was frying all Sunday afternoon. We're on the boat, Jack
Speaker 1: says pop A J. Franket, you gotta watch this Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Live. What a show. I did watch it, and
Speaker 1: I watched it ever since, and people give me shit.
Speaker 1: It's the worst show on DV No. I always find
Speaker 1: something to laugh at once, twice, maybe three times. I know,
Speaker 1: some years as slim pickens, I get it. But if
Speaker 1: you remember nineteen seventy five with the big cast, you
Speaker 1: know Belushi, Gilda Radner, dan Aykroy, Bill Murray, you name it,
Speaker 1: Loraine Newman, Garrett Morris. And then five years later I'm
Speaker 1: in high school and it's Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo
Speaker 1: and that whole crew. That's what I really took off
Speaker 1: with it because Eddie was like almost my age, and
Speaker 1: these guys are comparable to the age I was some
Speaker 1: of them, so it got really surreal. But I love
Speaker 1: the show and Jack Stalmers, you gotta watch it, so
Speaker 1: I always watch it. And I saw something last night
Speaker 1: that I know is going to matter in this guy's life,
Speaker 1: whether he knows it or not. But there's a sketch
Speaker 1: not ready for prime Time player named Marcello Hernandez. Actually
Speaker 1: it's Marcello Andre Hernandez Gondas, but he goes Marcello. He
Speaker 1: is so funny. Every sketch he does is good. He
Speaker 1: gives his all on everything. But last night he played
Speaker 1: Sebastian Maniscalco in a sketch and he showed his physical
Speaker 1: comedy because that's what Sebastian does when he's on stage,
Speaker 1: and this kid destroyed. It wasn't the best sketch, but
Speaker 1: it was funny, but he the way he acted made
Speaker 1: me say, you know what this kid. This kid is
Speaker 1: like Dana Carvey, Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon, I'm talking physical comedy,
Speaker 1: Kristen Wick, Kate, Kate McKinnon, Sherry oh Terry my God.
Speaker 1: With the Cheerleader sketch with Will Ferrell, Jason sudeik is
Speaker 1: dancing on What's up with that? What's up with that? O?
Speaker 1: Great shows? So I know you're gonna give me ship
Speaker 1: because somebody you say, why are you watching that crowd?
Speaker 1: It's all a bunch of liberals. I get it. I know.
Speaker 1: I even watched. You know, when I watch Weekend up
Speaker 1: making ship, they say about Trump. Look, it's okay. Let
Speaker 1: them have their time, let them make their big uppercuts
Speaker 1: and right crosses. It doesn't matter in the long run,
Speaker 1: but I laugh. If it's once or twice a night
Speaker 1: for ninety minutes, that's good enough for me. Sorry, water break,
Speaker 1: but yeah he will. He is now going to get
Speaker 1: so many offers for comedies. I'm sure he already has,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be even bigger for my cellovern enderes.
Speaker 1: Let me turn it to a sad story. I wasn't
Speaker 1: a Dawson's Creek fan. I was too busy back in
Speaker 1: the day, just building my life and going out every
Speaker 1: single night. But I did see Varsity Blues, you know,
Speaker 1: because I'm a sucker for I love a great football movie,
Speaker 1: and I know you know James Anderbeek was a Dawson's
Speaker 1: Creek guy, also in Varsity Blues, and I love that movie.
Speaker 1: I love the book and one of my top twenty
Speaker 1: movies of all time. I really think I love a
Speaker 1: great football movie or bad. I love a good sports movie.
Speaker 1: Not because the acting was so great, but it's because
Speaker 1: what it harkens back to, back to life in high
Speaker 1: school and how it was both hard at times to negotiate,
Speaker 1: but it was also wonderful to navigate those days. And
Speaker 1: I feel like that way of life right now is
Speaker 1: not going on for our sons and daughters. Is that's
Speaker 1: or bad to me? It's bad to you? You might say, good,
Speaker 1: I don't know my kids doing anything crazy. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you can't coddle them every single day of the week,
Speaker 1: every hour of the day. They've got to go off
Speaker 1: and make mistakes. That's the beauty about being young, that
Speaker 1: the world lets you go out and be stupid and
Speaker 1: make mistakes, hopefully not too bad. But you make mistakes,
Speaker 1: you learn, you come back, you regroup, and you live life.
Speaker 1: And you just thought to bust open the seams of
Speaker 1: this young little d doll. You were in the hopes
Speaker 1: of building yourself up to be a person that's needs
Speaker 1: to be seen and loved and heard. And you know,
Speaker 1: I love those days. My buddy, Tony, Tony Botch was
Speaker 1: mentioning to me how our lives were different back then.
Speaker 1: You know, how we'd go out after games, even after
Speaker 1: practice in high school. You know, we'd head to the
Speaker 1: city at sixteen, seventeen years old. Oh you know, we
Speaker 1: had one or two friends in that car. If that's
Speaker 1: all we needed five bucks of gas, maybe ten, we
Speaker 1: were good to go. And we would just head to
Speaker 1: the city hoping to see something, hoping to see anything,
Speaker 1: just as long as we were a part of that
Speaker 1: world for a couple hours, just to see the city,
Speaker 1: the skyscrapers, the junkies, the hohrrors, the pimps, the cops,
Speaker 1: hear the sirens, the yelling and the screaming, all of it.
Speaker 1: It was so different from the tiny, perfect town we
Speaker 1: lived in fifty miles away. That our parents were wonderful
Speaker 1: enough and lucky enough to spot and make a home
Speaker 1: for all of us. So Tony was talking about we
Speaker 1: were both talking about the rituals back then. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't think these rituals are still going on. I mean,
Speaker 1: the world has changed. I know COVID. COVID was a
Speaker 1: big factor with these kids developing, for sure. And we
Speaker 1: used to have our fun. We'd go to a club.
Speaker 1: Maybe between the four of us we had thirty forty bucks.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that's all we needed, maybe less. Like
Speaker 1: you know what, we allowed ourselves to feel that way.
Speaker 1: We allowed ourselves to feel like we were rich. We
Speaker 1: could do anything. But there were many nights where things
Speaker 1: happened that we never imagine happening to us, and that
Speaker 1: was so exhilarating. It was also scary because you got
Speaker 1: to take those memories back home and head to school
Speaker 1: the next morning. Not many kids are doing that now,
Speaker 1: but we felt like it made us grow. We felt
Speaker 1: like we were getting older and smarter. We felt like
Speaker 1: we aged ten years. After one night, driving through the
Speaker 1: Midtown total and coming back, it made us feel like
Speaker 1: somehow we'd surpassed all those in our class in terms
Speaker 1: of the kind of times we were having. The blasts
Speaker 1: we had just we weren't wasted a minute of our
Speaker 1: precious lives. And once we headed from along nightclub or
Speaker 1: the city, we'd inevitably pull into a diner do these
Speaker 1: kids still go to a diner. The fucking diners are
Speaker 1: the best. And we finished the night eating dan romletz
Speaker 1: or cheese fries with gravy, anything that was great to
Speaker 1: soak up the alcohol from several hours before. And we
Speaker 1: continue to swap stories of what just happened, you know,
Speaker 1: earlier that evening. It wasn't stop, and we'd laughed so
Speaker 1: hard that whoever was in the diner would kind of
Speaker 1: turn their chairs toward us to see what else we
Speaker 1: were gonna say, or how wild we were going to get.
Speaker 1: Who's standing up on a chair, who's putting an ang
Speaker 1: on his face? Just stupid high school shit. Now fast
Speaker 1: forward several years after high school. I'm with Chico and
Speaker 1: our buddy Johnny Diaz, who's getting married the next morning.
Speaker 1: We're upstate New York. I forget the town. I think
Speaker 1: it was like near Lake George or some shit, which
Speaker 1: might as well be Kansas. If you're from Low Island
Speaker 1: and New York City. Upstate New York is like Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: We don't consider it New York. Apple orchards, long highways, hills.
Speaker 1: It's not like us. So we're driving around and the
Speaker 1: only option for food was it was like after midnight,
Speaker 1: maybe one o'clock, and is a Denny's. All right, we've
Speaker 1: gotta be up in five hours. Let's finish the night
Speaker 1: with sandwich whatever the fuck, you know, we'll be fine.
Speaker 1: The waitress was taken forever, we'd already ordered our food.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a fault. There was a bunch of drunks
Speaker 1: sitting down being too demanding, And at some point Chico
Speaker 1: had enough of waiting and he says to the waitress, listen, honey,
Speaker 1: if I don't get my moon over my hammy in
Speaker 1: the next five minutes, I'm gonna shoot holes through the roof.
Speaker 1: And you know I'm doing my best. She kind of
Speaker 1: heard it, but didn't hear it. But I knew Chico.
Speaker 1: I knew what he meant he was gonna do. He's
Speaker 1: got the gun in his waistband. I didn't know what
Speaker 1: it turned. Four minutes goes by, five minutes goes by, well,
Speaker 1: well into the seventh minute, Chico takes out of his
Speaker 1: gun and fires two shots into the ceiling and he yells,
Speaker 1: I bet you making my eggs now? Am I? Right?
Speaker 1: Whole place went bananas me. We all run out of there. Now.
Speaker 1: You would think that's enough. Go home, cut your losses.
Speaker 1: Don't beat a dead horse. All those sayings you said
Speaker 1: when you let's just go back. No. On the way home,
Speaker 1: we see a small bar, like a real dive bar joint.
Speaker 1: We barked. We walk in. There was some karaoke shit
Speaker 1: going on. There was a little DJ to the right,
Speaker 1: jammed against the wall, maybe fifty sixty people in there.
Speaker 1: We walk in. We are the three drinks. Now we
Speaker 1: should have went home. We should have drank those drinks
Speaker 1: quickly and headed back to the hotel, maybe four or
Speaker 1: five miles away. But we didn't do that. Chico felt
Speaker 1: like we had enough to talk about at the next
Speaker 1: day's when. So at some point Chico grabs me and says,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the bar and get shots for everybody.
Speaker 1: Come on, now, I'm gonna do it. Pop, I got
Speaker 1: the money, don't worry about that. But when I do that,
Speaker 1: just when we're about to drink the shots, pull that
Speaker 1: blue pluck. See that blue plug to the next to
Speaker 1: the detail, Yeah, pull that out and then get the
Speaker 1: fuck out of here. I'll be wrapped behind you with Johnny. Oh, Chico,
Speaker 1: come on, can we just go? Come on, come, on
Speaker 1: do it. He goes to the ball order shots to
Speaker 1: everybody in the house. The place is going bananas. The
Speaker 1: bartender and she's a shoot girl. She's so thrilled. She's
Speaker 1: on the bar pouring a bunch of shots. The waitresses
Speaker 1: are coming with the shots on the tray. Everybody so hip,
Speaker 1: hip parade, Chico, You're the best, that kind of shit.
Speaker 1: As soon as they throw back the shots, I pulled
Speaker 1: the plug out. Boom everything. I don't know how Chico knew.
Speaker 1: I don't know what his criminal brain knew, but he
Speaker 1: knew that plug controlled. So the lights went out, the
Speaker 1: karaoke machine done, DJ soundless. There's nothing going on but
Speaker 1: a bunch of people yelling. It was a calamity. And me,
Speaker 1: Chico and Johnny run out three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1: Just sick, stupid, insane fun. But that was us. And
Speaker 1: I wonder is it's still happening with the younger generation
Speaker 1: or are they all still into their fucking phones. But
Speaker 1: you know me, I love to reminisce about high school
Speaker 1: days and those days right after high school, mostly with
Speaker 1: the football team, which had the craziest guys in school.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, talking about football, this is a sad story.
Speaker 1: James Vanderbeek is auctioning off merchandise from his time on
Speaker 1: Dawson's Creek because he's got to pay for cancer treatments.
Speaker 1: I hate these stories, and all the proceeds from the
Speaker 1: auction are going to go toward his treatment. And the
Speaker 1: things he's put up for sale is both wardrobe and
Speaker 1: props from the show. There's a sweater in his shirt
Speaker 1: he wore in the pilot and a necklace that Katie
Speaker 1: Holmes gave him. There's also a Spielberg themed room decors
Speaker 1: with an et plushy and an Indiana Jones poster that's
Speaker 1: put together in a bundle. He also included his cleats
Speaker 1: and the hat he wore in the film Varsity Blues.
Speaker 1: Listen just him, He and Ali Larder. You know when
Speaker 1: she came out with the whig cream on her tits
Speaker 1: and the cherries on her nipples and the whig cream downstairs.
Speaker 1: That was a great moment in films, I mean in
Speaker 1: film history, that was fantastic. Ali Lauter is sexy as
Speaker 1: she looked at Now Are You Kicked? Twenty six years
Speaker 1: later on land Man with Billy Bob Thorton, she's ten
Speaker 1: times hotter. Oh my god, Ali latter is tremendous. I
Speaker 1: wrote screenplays with her and mind back in the day
Speaker 1: Herr and Jamie Presley. Now Ali Lader, Oh my god, chilling,
Speaker 1: watch Landman. So this auction is in early December because
Speaker 1: James said he was storing all these treasures up for
Speaker 1: years and waiting for the right time to do something
Speaker 1: with them, and unfortunately it's got to be because he's
Speaker 1: got cancer and these treatments are going to be very expensive.
Speaker 1: And he said, well, I have some nostalgia tugging at
Speaker 1: me as I part with these items. It feels good
Speaker 1: to be able to offer them through this auction to
Speaker 1: share with those who have supported my work over the years.
Speaker 1: I understand what he's saying, but that's a very heavy,
Speaker 1: sad sentence because he knows what it means that he
Speaker 1: might be gone. I saw a video on Instagram the
Speaker 1: great quarterback Bernie Cosar who played for the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: Bernie was a terrific quarterback and he's sick with cancer
Speaker 1: and he's on Instagram I'm talking and being as wide
Speaker 1: awake and energetic as he can be with these treatments
Speaker 1: coming up. The guy is so thin, you know, cancer thin,
Speaker 1: thin in the face, thin like that's you know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. It's a horrible thing to see. But
Speaker 1: he's out there putting his best foot forward. And I
Speaker 1: think Van Derby is right there, if not beyond that.
Speaker 1: But he said, there's no playbook, playbook on how announced
Speaker 1: these things, but I want to raise awareness and tell
Speaker 1: my story. Said, I don't like this stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: these kids are younger than me and they're they're dying,
Speaker 1: and it just gets you. I knew when he missed
Speaker 1: there was a stage reading. They were reading a Dustin's
Speaker 1: Creek pilot episode on stage to raise funds for his
Speaker 1: treatment a couple of months ago. Well, these stomach viruses
Speaker 1: he was getting and he couldn't do it. So Lynn
Speaker 1: Manuel Miranda did it, and those things just said, it's
Speaker 1: sad how it ends for a lot of people, you know,
Speaker 1: having to sell off memorabilia. But then part of me
Speaker 1: is confused. You know, Van der Beiek has been acting
Speaker 1: in Hollywood for what twenty five thirty years. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying he's a multi multi millionaire, but I'm sure he's
Speaker 1: got great insurance and some money saved he's got properties out.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why this needs to happen. It's one
Speaker 1: thing to sell memorabilia to get you know, your fans
Speaker 1: involved and all the things that you brought us. But
Speaker 1: I feel like this is more about money to help
Speaker 1: with the treatments. And that's you know, same thing happened
Speaker 1: to the Francis fort Coppola. He's not sick, but he's
Speaker 1: selling off a bunch of very expensive wriskwatches he has
Speaker 1: from his personal collection. He's got this one piece work
Speaker 1: over a million dollars and he's selling the shit because
Speaker 1: he lost so much of his wealth financing this movie, Megalopolis,
Speaker 1: that was in the pipeline for decades, was a passion
Speaker 1: project and it didn't do well. Like a lot of
Speaker 1: Francis for a Copla films, give it time and in
Speaker 1: the future you'll look at this movie and go, you
Speaker 1: know what, Ashley, it's a very good film. But films
Speaker 1: are weird sometimes Sometimes the ear they hit they don't
Speaker 1: really hit people the way they should. But wait a
Speaker 1: few years, like a great book or a great album,
Speaker 1: and suddenly you realize, Wow, there's genius in this song,
Speaker 1: this genius in this book, this genius in this movie,
Speaker 1: but a any six year man who's been a tremendous
Speaker 1: Hollywood star. He invested one hundred and twenty million of
Speaker 1: his own dollars into making this movie. The science fiction
Speaker 1: movie it only grows fourteen million. He put one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty in fourteen point three million. Broke them. He's
Speaker 1: broken now. Seven of his watches were up for sale
Speaker 1: first week of December, and he said, I need money
Speaker 1: to keep the ship afloat. I love when guys though
Speaker 1: just that honest, I need money to keep the ship afloat. Wow,
Speaker 1: don't ask me the names of the watches, because I
Speaker 1: don't care. I'm not a watch guy. I know Copola
Speaker 1: designed one or two or three of these themselves. I
Speaker 1: got no time for watches. Pardon the punt. I think
Speaker 1: watchers look great on some people, you know, depending on
Speaker 1: the guy, they look fucking fantastic. Like when I travel
Speaker 1: sometimes with Mike Agavino on airplanes, Mike wears a blazer, jeans, belt,
Speaker 1: blazer and ice shoes. Me, I'm in sweatpants, T shirt,
Speaker 1: you know, a hoodie, fucking crocs. I fly comfortably. Mike
Speaker 1: old business looks great. Watch on his wrists. Don't know
Speaker 1: what it costs, but he looks put together. I don't
Speaker 1: look that way. I got eight bracelets on my wrist.
Speaker 1: That's what I like more. They're not worth anything, they're worthless,
Speaker 1: but to me, they're very valuable. And I got my phone.
Speaker 1: I know what time it is all the time. Plus,
Speaker 1: I'm one of these sick fucking retarts where I know
Speaker 1: what time it is by. I'm always within five minutes
Speaker 1: at the time. You can ask me eight hours from now,
Speaker 1: I'll know it within five minutes. I have this thing
Speaker 1: in my head. Maybe some of you do too, The
Speaker 1: minutes tick by, the hours tick by. It. I just
Speaker 1: know it's about five point fifteen. Nope, five twelve, I
Speaker 1: know it. Chico love by Buddy. Chico loved expensive watchers,
Speaker 1: of course he did. He had about five. One night.
Speaker 1: We're in Vegas, right, He's playing four hands a black jet.
Speaker 1: He's alone at the table, He's got four hands standing up.
Speaker 1: He's got a red smoking jacket, leopard skin shoes. He
Speaker 1: looked like Hugh Hefner. You gotta watch on his wrist
Speaker 1: that he said eighty thousand dollars, and you know, a
Speaker 1: crowd gathered around him. Because he's making noise, he's winning,
Speaker 1: he's doubling down, he's this and that blackjack, and a
Speaker 1: crowd gathers. One of the guys who gathered around was
Speaker 1: the NBA Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony, an ex New
Speaker 1: York nick and he's watching Chico and he taps Chico
Speaker 1: on his shoulder, said my man, I'll give you fifty
Speaker 1: grand cares for that watch right now. And Chico said
Speaker 1: to him, go away, you bother me Carmelo, and Carmelo
Speaker 1: laughed and backed up. But I wather on my bracelets.
Speaker 1: I think they're just to me, they're more valuable. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, but I will say this.
Speaker 1: I am going to uh give my fourth chapter this
Speaker 1: week on my upcoming book, Fame Adjacent on Substack, just
Speaker 1: so you know the book is not obviously he's not published,
Speaker 1: but I'm doing in these chapters every week or so
Speaker 1: to get you folks interested in the full book. These
Speaker 1: are all my stories mainly about Los Angeles. There are
Speaker 1: some that bridge the gap between New York and LA,
Speaker 1: but primarily there are LA stories about the shoulders I
Speaker 1: rubbed up against and the fame I was adjacent to
Speaker 1: for the last twenty five twenty seven years. But in
Speaker 1: addition to that, you know, I do a Patreon every
Speaker 1: day that I wish most of you people would sign
Speaker 1: up for to make my army bigger. But in the meantime,
Speaker 1: I'll do one free show a week and the relationships
Speaker 1: and theirs. Also, every data is a bit so you
Speaker 1: can keep tabs on me all the time. It's almost
Speaker 1: overdosing on me. But I will leave you one more
Speaker 1: story because I'm watching TV a lot, and somehow I
Speaker 1: got the Peacock channel. I don't even know why I
Speaker 1: got Peacock, but I like Peacock. As Sunday mornings, I
Speaker 1: can watch SNL the repeat in case I fall asleep,
Speaker 1: which I normally do on nights before it even begins
Speaker 1: because I'm old now. But I realized that Peacock has
Speaker 1: decided not to renew this show called poker Face for
Speaker 1: its third season. Have you seen poker Face? Natasha leone.
Speaker 1: She's great, she's made a great comeback, and the show's fun,
Speaker 1: but she's leaving as the star. And now there's a
Speaker 1: mystery ahead for who's going to be the show's signature character.
Speaker 1: And the word is Peter Dinklice. The dwarf is taking
Speaker 1: over Natasha Leone's role as Charlie, who's basically a sleuth
Speaker 1: who has these superpowers to detect liars immediately, which I
Speaker 1: kind of have myself, but this was designed. It's very
Speaker 1: much Natasha Leone is basically playing Peter Fox's character in Colombo.
Speaker 1: That's what it really is. She's a former casino worker
Speaker 1: and she's really good at call him bullshit. She understands
Speaker 1: when she witnesses crime, she knows who did it. She's
Speaker 1: got to go on the land because she knows that
Speaker 1: she should know. It's a funny story and it's she's
Speaker 1: the perfect star for this vehicle. I don't want to
Speaker 1: think about Peter Dinglich in this. I don't like Peter
Speaker 1: Dinkligen anything, you know. I have a hm. I can't
Speaker 1: help it. I don't. I can't look at dwarfs or
Speaker 1: midgets and feel comfortable. I never watch Game of Thrones
Speaker 1: because I refuse to believe that this little three foot
Speaker 1: tall guy is what a great actor, he's the best
Speaker 1: part of the show. I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1: I can't. There's not a midget or a dwarf in
Speaker 1: the world who I have to sit up and look
Speaker 1: at and take notice of. No, no midget or dwarf
Speaker 1: has blown me away. Just stop it. Peter Tinglojack's like
Speaker 1: he's the best thingsince sliced bread because there's only one
Speaker 1: of them in Hollywood. If there were thirty of them,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't act this way. But he's the main gazine
Speaker 1: and he asked us way. I can't stand it. I
Speaker 1: only kept Peacock to watch the show poker Face because
Speaker 1: she's great at it. But you know, doing Colombo, you guys, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I mean, some of your people
Speaker 1: never saw the TV show Columbo with the great Peter Falk.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he'd walk in with a trench coat
Speaker 1: and the notepad and just solved crime. He always knew
Speaker 1: who was guilty immediately. Anybody who watched Colombo, the repeats
Speaker 1: are playing now. Anybody who watches Columbo, we know the
Speaker 1: murderer or the bad person within the first ten minutes,
Speaker 1: and then Peter Fawk just chips away and chips away
Speaker 1: until it's uncanny that that's the guy, Oh that's the woman.
Speaker 1: But he has I mean the lines they wrote for him.
Speaker 1: My wife says, I'm the second smartest. She claims, there
Speaker 1: are eighty guys tied for first. Shit like that, with
Speaker 1: the notepad and the trench coat. I can't stand suicide
Speaker 1: d bad. Suicide is sat great lines. I should give
Speaker 1: credit to the writers, but I don't know their names
Speaker 1: right now off the top of my head. But Peter
Speaker 1: Falk was the best at creating this persona. And he's
Speaker 1: the one who said I wanted to wear a rumpled
Speaker 1: up raincoat. He picked out the car, the pougeot. He
Speaker 1: improvised a lot of his own lines and mannerisms and
Speaker 1: things to do on the set. He would hum this
Speaker 1: old man while he fumbled for his noteped. Those are
Speaker 1: all things he brought to the character. And it made
Speaker 1: me think of you know, last year, or well, it's
Speaker 1: almost two years ago now. We lost the great Jenna Rowlins,
Speaker 1: who died a couple of augusts ago. She was ninety
Speaker 1: four years old and she had Alzheimer's complications from Alzheimer's
Speaker 1: and her son, Nick Cassavetti's, who was one of the
Speaker 1: guys who always played on a high stakes poker. Great
Speaker 1: great dude, great director, good actor, good poker player too,
Speaker 1: and he was the one who shared that she was
Speaker 1: in the advanced stages. But you gotta see a movie
Speaker 1: that she's in with Peter Fall, called A Woman under
Speaker 1: the Influence. This is another reason why Hollywood is so lazy,
Speaker 1: and ninety percent of decision makers don't know what the
Speaker 1: fuck they want to do. They don't have their fingers
Speaker 1: on the pulse of the country, and they're just lazy.
Speaker 1: If they watch these old movies, this is what you
Speaker 1: have to come up with again. If you're gonna do
Speaker 1: a sequel, can you forget the fucking Marvel movies? Can
Speaker 1: you make art? Can you just try to recarve the
Speaker 1: statue that was already beautiful thirty years ago? But no,
Speaker 1: they keep doing book. Watch A Woman under the Influence
Speaker 1: Jenna Rollins married to Peter Fall, suffering from Alzheimer's, and
Speaker 1: how debilitating and painful and embarrassing it is for not
Speaker 1: just the person who's going through it, but the person
Speaker 1: is married to her. Watch that relationship. It'll tear you apart.
Speaker 1: But no, don't do that movie over Hollywood's making. Well,
Speaker 1: Sony just acquired the rights to the La Boogle Doll. Yes,
Speaker 1: there's going to be a Loboogle doll movie, a live
Speaker 1: action film. These fucking dolls that there were that are
Speaker 1: made in Hong Kong, and everybody who's nobody wants these
Speaker 1: fucking dolls hanging from their forty thousand dollars burken bag.
Speaker 1: I can't believe this. By the time this shitty movie
Speaker 1: is shot and ready to hit theaters or streaming platforms,
Speaker 1: nobody will give a shit any longer. The craze will
Speaker 1: have died down. What's that the cabbage patch doll fucking movie?
Speaker 1: A fidget spinner series? Can we stop this? Where are
Speaker 1: the Maverick filmmakers? What you need to Where's Robert Evans?
Speaker 1: Where's Golan Globus? The only way this movie would work
Speaker 1: as a film, well this story would work as a film,
Speaker 1: is if they made the Boo Boos turned out to
Speaker 1: be very mean and violent. If there was like a
Speaker 1: Labooboo horror film where Beverly Hill's moms who have these
Speaker 1: dolls hanging up at Birkendigs were now you know, mangled
Speaker 1: in the streets off for a dayo drive and a
Speaker 1: heap of blood and guts. That movie would be fun.
Speaker 1: But they won't do that, you know what, because it's
Speaker 1: a great idea, but yeah, they're making a fucking Labuobu
Speaker 1: doll movie. I know what happens. I've been in these meetings.
Speaker 1: No one's attached it. There's no actors and directors attached it.
Speaker 1: No decisions have been made as to whether this will
Speaker 1: be animated or live action. There's talk it will be
Speaker 1: live action, but nothing's concrete. So they have nothing to
Speaker 1: offer other than there was a meeting and somebody said,
Speaker 1: what about al Boo boo movie? And they all got wet.
Speaker 1: A stupid fucking idea, but all these assholes got wet.
Speaker 1: That's Hollywood can't stand it. That's why I hate it,
Speaker 1: and that's why you listen. I'm AJ Benson. That was
Speaker 1: your free show Frock November sixteenth, twenty twenty five. It
Speaker 1: is going fast and furious. I'll talk to you guys

Speaker 1: dot subsect dot com and subscribe to read the chapters
Speaker 1: of my Uncovering book and other stories I publish every week.
