He's off his 18 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.760 ass and out of control. And look, he's kind of forsaken. 19 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.159 Fatherhood doesn't see Surrey anymore.

Nobody has it but me. 31 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.280 You gotta get that at the end of the show. 32 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.159 There's too many freeloaders on here who listen for free 33 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.159 and walk away. I'm gonna give you, guys an exclusive 34 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.319 that no one else in the world has. I'm not 35 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.879 trying to say what happened is the most world changing thing, 36 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.959 But for fans of that show, you're gonna want to 37 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.879 hear this. Those of you who listen for free and split, 38 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.719 eat your hearts out, or spring with the six or 39 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.360 seven bucks whatever the hell we cost, it's worth it. 40 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:20.120 Ask around By the way, I was right. Jamie Fox 41 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.919 admitted Pete Diddy didn't have me killed or try to 42 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.280 have me killed. It wasn't P Diddy. I tell you 43 00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.840 that years ago. I said, this has nothing to do 44 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.319 with P Diddy, and I have to do with the vaccination. 45 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.000 And Jamie Fox on the movie set, that stuper movie 46 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.039 he did with Cameron Diaz, it was awful, awful. It 47 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.680 had to do with the vacs. And of course he's 48 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.599 come out in a comedy special and said he was 49 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.719 partially blind and was partially paralyzed, exactly what I said. 50 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.039 But he'll never mention the vacs. He mentions taking an 51 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.240 advil or asking him for an advil. Next thing he 52 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.120 knows is I was in the como for so many days. Bullshit. 53 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.360 We all know what an advil looks like. Bro, Come on, 54 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.680 I don't care. We all know what an advil, liquid 55 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.879 gel or the other kind looks like. So stop saying 56 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.159 you took the pill and went into a coma. It's 57 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:16.599 a bullshit story anyhow. And by the way, tomorrow I'm 58 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.960 gonna talk about Billy Joel his connection to me in 59 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:24.879 this unfortunate illness. He's developed and also more exclusive information 60 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.520 concerning P Diddy, Britney Spears, and the manager Lou Alexander. 61 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.439 You want to hear this? So again, did exclusives drop 62 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.280 out of my asshole as I'm walking too fast? Okay, 63 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.680 I'm watching Demi Lovado. She was practicing for her wedding, 64 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.159 which I guess would have been on Sunday, which is today. 65 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.159 This was seen on Saturday. She was in an all 66 00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.800 white dress walking down an aisle with her fiance, some 67 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.120 songwriter people call Loots. I don't know what he's what 68 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:56.759 he's written, so I'm not gonna make fun of him. 69 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:58.560 He might have written beautiful songs. I don't know. I 70 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:04.039 didn't check, but Loot Sis her fiance about to be husband. Look, 71 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.759 I've said what I said about Demi Levado when those 72 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.280 of you who have been with me for this whole 73 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:13.080 run might recall, I don't know, six five, six years ago, 74 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.199 how she and I got into it against each other 75 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.920 on Instagram. I was saying a lot about her overdose 76 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.199 and what that had done to her, and how she 77 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.480 suffered a stroke even after she was brought back from 78 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.600 the dead. Those are things she was denying initially, and 79 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.519 then she copped to both of them, Yes she was dead. Yes, 80 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.319 she suffered a somewhat of a stroke again, way ahead 81 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:39.920 of everybody, and that stroke left her unable to speak, 82 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.279 let alone sing. But she kept on, you know, having 83 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.639 statements put out that she's in the studio and singing 84 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.240 and feeling great. And then she was all in Instagram 85 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.920 videos that slided alone, having a mock boxing match, and 86 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.519 her management put her in situations to make her look 87 00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:01.079 better and good, but she was clearly a problem. And 88 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.759 at one point, you know, I made my made my 89 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:06.680 claim about the way she was acting and how she 90 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.959 should be more you know, grateful for her life and 91 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.160 stop being so crazy. And she took a picture of 92 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.120 Roxy on my Instagram. She took a picture of my 93 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.800 daughter and then sent it to me and said, I 94 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.519 hope you treat her better than my father treated me. 95 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.399 I was like, I don't know what your father did 96 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.160 to you, but what are you doing going through my 97 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.480 Instagram pic. It was a weird thing. We ended up 98 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.639 patching things up and apologizing both of us back and forth, 99 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.000 but it was surreal. I was driving Rosalie and Jack 100 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.480 and eight dogs from Long Island to Chicago in the 101 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.360 middle of this. I'm having this DEBI the vital thing 102 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:48.920 in the car. Can't make it up. Well, she did 103 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:50.480 come back and sing again. I think it was the 104 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.560 Grammys or VH one was a big it was a 105 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.920 big show. And she began to sing her song Anyone. 106 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.319 I love that song, and about thirty seconds and she 107 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.680 began to cry and crumble because that's how nervous she was. 108 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.439 And look, she had plenty of haters and doubters, but 109 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:09.680 that night I was not one of them. I was 110 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.360 pulling for her. I wanted her to really bring it 111 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.279 because when she does bring it, her voice is as 112 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:21.319 powerful as Christina Aguilera, Mariah, any diva out there. Plus 113 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:26.319 that song Anyone, it just destroys me. So let me gather. 114 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.680 If you go on YouTube and watch this, she gathered herself. 115 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.600 The whole crowd is now behind her and me, this 116 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.079 old man sitting on a couch, hoping she can get 117 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:42.160 through this great wall of uncertainty and emotion. And man, 118 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.600 did she do it. I was a mess from that 119 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.800 song and that she was crying. I was crying, the 120 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.360 crowd was crying. Give it a listen today. In fact, 121 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.279 to me, a favorite guys, add that song to our 122 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.040 famous a bit Spotify song list. I mean the lyrics 123 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.240 I used to crave the world's attention. I think I 124 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.399 cried too many times. I might need some more affection, 125 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.439 anything to get me by a hundred million stories and 126 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.399 a hundred million songs. I feel stupid when I sing. 127 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:12.319 Nobody's listening to me. Nobody's listening. I talked to shooting stars, 128 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.800 but they always get it wrong. I feel stupid when 129 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.240 I pray, Who the fuck am I praying? Why the 130 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.480 fuck am I praying? Anyway? If nobody's listening, trust me, 131 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.360 it's a killer. So she was practicing on her wedding 132 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.279 or pre wedding day, And I don't know if this 133 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.680 guy knows what he's getting himself into, because with Demi Levado, 134 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.199 it's always been something. She lost her virginity from being 135 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.399 raped as a teenager. She says her drug dealer raped 136 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.839 her the night that she odeed, left her naked and 137 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.199 turning blue when the paramedic showed up. First, she told 138 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.399 him it was consensual sex. Then she thought about it 139 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.079 and said, you know, I wasn't in the right mind 140 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.839 to make that decision, and she reversed it. So now 141 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.920 she says she was raped the night shed. Okay, but 142 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.319 we all know something happened to his chick because all 143 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.560 she's done these last few years, changing her hairstyle, her 144 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.800 hair color, getting heavy, getting thin, her hair was turquoise. 145 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:10.160 At one point she tried to act like her act 146 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.199 was together, and she and her management team, crisis team whatever, 147 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.800 cooked up this scheme for her to accept an engagement 148 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.040 ring from some young schmucky actor Max Eric Eric whatever 149 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.040 the fuck. Five years ago he proposed, she accepted. I 150 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:29.720 think they were on a beach. I believe I saw 151 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.399 a picture of her on the beach. I said it 152 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.720 wouldn't last a year. It didn't. They split up before 153 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:40.399 the year was over. Another thing I'm right about. Then 154 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.080 it was about her finding her sexuality. She was fraight, 155 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.559 then she announced she's by and then I think she 156 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.960 got She thought she got some mileage out of being 157 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:53.360 with the Alphagle Alphabet Mafia, but that didn't work out. 158 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.000 A lot of people in there didn't want her in. 159 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.360 Oh yeah, they can get pretty Uh, they get pretty cagy, 160 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:05.440 those lg BTQ people. They can tell when someone's for 161 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.039 real or when someone are just looking for protection. By 162 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.639 the way, I'm just drinking water with I got that 163 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.799 methylene blue stuff that Robin F. Kennedy and Joe Rogan use. 164 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.120 I'm taking that plus my oil over Regano, which is 165 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:21.200 a nasty drink one drop, and oil of pumpkins. See listen. 166 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:28.159 I'm trying everything. Tassy, magnesium, vitamin D, bet, twelve lions, Maine, Sereni, 167 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.799 bulls balls, whatever you got, I'm trying it. I'm trying it. 168 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:40.000 You mighto condria gets stronger, have a nundred word minochondria 169 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:44.720 since ninth grade science. But mister Miller said they were important, 170 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.080 So maybe Rogan and Kennedy are right. I'm trying it. 171 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:54.320 Methylene blue. She was demanded we use her. They then 172 00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:00.360 pronouns know that now Demi identifies as pand sexual eating 173 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:04.200 they are attracted to people of all genders, So she'll 174 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:08.039 fuck anybody. She don't care, it says in her bio. 175 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.480 They have also publicly stated that they are non binary 176 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.559 and use both she her and they then pronouns. If 177 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.759 you use she, her, then why the fuck are you 178 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:23.600 also asking us to use they them? Why? It makes 179 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.120 no sense? So my big concern is I want to 180 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.519 know when she's on the altar, did she identify as 181 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.000 a brider or a groom. And what does the top 182 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:36.320 of their cake look like? Did you, guys, say the 183 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.279 piece of a wedding cake and keep it in your 184 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.679 freezer for several years after you got hitched. That was 185 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.960 a thing. I did it the first time I got married. 186 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.519 It was Is it still a thing? I know? Women 187 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.039 say their uh, what do you call it? The sack? Oh? God? 188 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.960 And there some women eat it the placenta. I can't. 189 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:58.200 That's Jeffrey Dahmer's shit. No, but think of all the 190 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:02.279 proteins and then replenish your Maybe it does, but no, 191 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.759 if you could squeeze it into a needle somehow and 192 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:10.000 in chect it, I'm all for that, But eating it, no, 193 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:14.080 it's worst than cup with Sella. Weddings used to be 194 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.679 so much fun, and eighties wedding was so great. I'm 195 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:22.279 just remembering the high hair, you know, the makeup was extreme. 196 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.279 The hair gel I used to use ten x It 197 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.360 was like six bucks back then. And I remember the 198 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.039 tube would vibrate when you knocked it on a table 199 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.440 because the gel was so strong. That good head of 200 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.279 hair back and then sticking my haf straight up like 201 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.919 a crazy person going to New Wave nightclubs and punk 202 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:42.480 rock clubs, Petmint Lounge in New York City. Crazy, but 203 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.679 I used to love, you know, the big cocktail hour. 204 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.000 And I always liked when the groom threw the garter 205 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.320 belt over his head to all the unmarried girls in 206 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.639 the room. That I love that. I used to box 207 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.039 out guys to get that guard belt. I had to 208 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:58.639 go have like five or six in my life. I 209 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.360 was crazy with the guard belt. I don't know why. 210 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.559 I never wanted to be the next guy to get married, 211 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.840 as the custom goes, but I just liked the whole thing. 212 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.480 It was like sweet, kind of sexy, you know, like 213 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.519 when I took off my wife's guarter belt, my first 214 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:15.879 wife's guard belt, I bit it with my teeth. I 215 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.240 want to pro dress. I want my head up, hero dress. 216 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.720 It's on video, and I took it down with my 217 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.320 teeth all the way down past her high heels. It 218 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.519 was one of those hey, everybody, look at me, Look 219 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:30.879 what AG's doing. It's the most fun guy in the room. 220 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:35.159 It was one of those moments. You know, do bachelor 221 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.879 parties still have they still? Like back in my day, 222 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.559 the best man got a blowjob from the stripper that 223 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:44.279 you called to come to your bachelor party. Is that 224 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.279 still being done. I'm sure it is on a much 225 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:49.759 more crazy level nowadays, but you probably have to pay 226 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:52.120 an Instagram model five grand to show up. I don't, 227 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.120 I don't, I have no idea. But in my day, 228 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.840 you call a service, I'm not even to show it. 229 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.240 They were called and it was a guy, I typically 230 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.200 a black guy with a boom box and a girl, 231 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.759 and you know, she'd play the boom box and the 232 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.039 guy was her security and whatever we gave him for 233 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.000 the hour or so, I forget, maybe one hundred bucks 234 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.799 for an hour, I forget. And she'd do lap dances 235 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.320 on the guys. But the tradition was the best man 236 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.000 gets the blowjob. And my nephew, Jackie was my best 237 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:23.679 man back then, and he was like I think he 238 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:27.120 was fifteen. He was a kid. He never had gotten 239 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:30.320 that before. But I still paid the stripper to take 240 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:32.399 him in the bathroom at the old Copper Kettle a 241 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.320 Montague Highway and do the deed. I think I gave 242 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.399 her extra fifty bucks. I think she was fine with it. 243 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:43.399 Of course, Jackie loved it. Somehow, I don't think that 244 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.080 would be reflected in a good light these days. But 245 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.559 it's pretty bad but fun. In a lot of ways, 246 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.679 I don't like the eighties, but in some ways I 247 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:57.519 absolutely love and miss them. Like Joey always busts my balls, 248 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.519 he loves to watch eighties movies. I can't watching old 249 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.360 Eddie Murphy comedy trading Places of forty eight hours. I 250 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:08.200 can't even watch Mel Gibson. I can't lethal Weapons. It 251 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.720 just seemed so insane to me that we bought that 252 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.159 corny stuff, but we did. But I tell you what, 253 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:22.639 I couldn't stand the synthesizing music. Every music had a 254 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:27.919 synthesizer behind it. I love and missed the eighties music, 255 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.759 though not the synthesize of shit. But that era I 256 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.279 think was an I shouldn't say it. I love the movie. 257 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:35.919 I love the music in the seventies too, but the 258 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.559 eighties was a different kind of love. I jumped on 259 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.879 the new wave train, as I've told you, and I 260 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.960 began to hit the clubs to see groups like Human League, 261 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:49.879 the Cult, the Cure, Depeche Mode, all these groups, Billy Idol, 262 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.639 YouTube five bucks. I would pay that Spit or Malibu 263 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.480 or the Peer in Manhattan or the Petman Lounge, of Manhattan. 264 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:03.120 Remember hair Cut one hundred plus one, the Love plus Buh, 265 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:09.240 I love that stupid Go West crazy groups. I had 266 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.360 a shit fit. But I took my wife to her 267 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:14.679 prom in nineteen eighty two and we're standing outside by 268 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.679 the way my promp my tucks was purple because I 269 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.519 wanted to not deep purple, but I wanted to look 270 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:23.600 like Rick Spreenfield because on his album he had like 271 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:28.399 a purplish suit. So insane. So I'm standing outside this 272 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:33.080 big old club in Liito Beach, Long Island called Malibus. 273 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.720 It was huge. And as we're standing there fiddling with 274 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.799 IDs because you know that was a big thing back 275 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:45.039 there at U eighteen and Human League song Don't You 276 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.720 Want Me was starting to play, and I'm going crazy 277 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.480 because damn it, I had to get my dance on 278 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.360 and back then I did a lot of clapping and spinning. 279 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:55.639 But that was the way you did it back then. 280 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.960 That's how you got close to a girl. I'll just 281 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.159 clap and spin my I'll do the auto Man, I'll 282 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.240 do the adam An steps all the way to her, 283 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.519 make a fist like Billy Ottel, and we'll be making 284 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:10.679 out in five minutes. That was the Dream God. My 285 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.759 mother in law would fuck up that song whenever it 286 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.879 came on. She got the words all wrong, like my mother. 287 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.440 And you can't let them ever live that down. When 288 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.440 they get the words wrong to a song, it's forever. 289 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.720 Rosalie's been there too many. A few weeks ago, I 290 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:28.919 tell her Rowe, you gotta watch Ruby Ridge on Netflix. 291 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.799 It's a good cop movie. It's gonna remind you about 292 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.720 Joey and his job. There's even some martial arts in it. 293 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:39.120 Ruby Ridge. Check it out. Okay. Next day's I see 294 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.519 her fiddling with the remote and she's going to me, 295 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:43.679 I'm trying to find that movie you tell me to 296 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:47.720 watch Rusty Range. I can't find it because it's called 297 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.039 Ruby Ridge. I think Rusty Range was a porn star 298 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.720 in the seventies. Oh, I forgot to tell you this 299 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.840 last week when I was telling you stories about the 300 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:01.679 old time video stores before Blockbuster, I have to include this. 301 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.480 It's too funny. The first thing we went to was 302 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.720 a place called oak Neck Video up the road from 303 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:09.640 my house. A guy named Joey ran it. Great guy 304 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.079 came to the house to connect the VCR to EU 305 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:16.680 TV because he was good with electronics. Joe looked up 306 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.839 to the house after hours, and what how's that? How 307 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.359 is that for a great worker leaving a job and 308 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.599 going to people's houses to connect their fucking wires because 309 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.640 cable and vhs and these players were a new thing. 310 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.039 My mouth's so dry. Maybe that methlene blues making me dry? 311 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:39.440 How long started taking it two days ago? I don't 312 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:43.519 know anyhow, So Joey and I he was young, he 313 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:45.759 was a kid, but I'd think him in the back 314 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:49.720 past those saloon doors where a small little adult tape 315 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:52.480 section was, and I'd read two or three porno tapes 316 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.839 right and back. Then you had to please be kind, 317 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:01.440 rewind all the tapes and return them in like two days, 318 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.960 otherwise there would be fines, big fines to pay. I 319 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.519 don't know who set these fines, but George Colin would 320 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.079 have had a ball with this. This is pre blockbuster days. 321 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.319 And again I don't know who set these fines, but 322 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.000 it was clearly a group of people who thought you 323 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:22.000 had just checked out top secret government information. Because the 324 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.279 fines were big, probably that two fifty a day ridiculous. 325 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.039 I think one time I rented The Godfather Saga, like 326 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:31.000 three tapes and then I went to Cuba for a month. 327 00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:33.279 I forgot any return. I came up for like a 328 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.039 fifty five dollar bill. I said, I'm not paying him 329 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:38.400 fifty five. I'll keep the movies. What are you gonna 330 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.000 call a cop? Call a police to arrest me for 331 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.759 three Godfather tape? Now, I kept the movies and I 332 00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:47.319 went to a different Blockbuster from then on. In so 333 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.799 one time, Joe and I rent three pornos, but one, 334 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:54.000 I think what I actually asked Joey, he hasn't got 335 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:57.440 back to me. I think one was called anal Times five. 336 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:01.400 It was awful. The cover was you could see a woman, 337 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:04.200 you know, bent over looking back at her. But it 338 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:08.359 was bad, super gross, filled that we didn't even watch. 339 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.920 We probably did, but I've forgotten all about it. So 340 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.920 about two weeks later we call wrote, Oh you know what, Rowe, 341 00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:18.920 I forgot, there's three tapes downstairs in the living room. 342 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:20.599 Can you please return them to Joe over an open 343 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:24.799 ck video? Okay, we put them in a bed, but 344 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:26.799 back then you had to go in and give the 345 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.480 guy to tape. You couldn't just drop them in a 346 00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:32.359 box and walk away, you know what, I gotta be 347 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.319 honest with you. One of those tapes was with Barbara 348 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:39.359 Dare I know because I remember seeing her and saying, 349 00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:42.559 I gotta meet that girl. Of course people laugh at me. 350 00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.160 You're married, you got a house along Island, you work 351 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.559 part times and sports rider, you got a nine to 352 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.799 five job at a publishing company. How the hell are 353 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:56.000 you gonna see this? Well? Nineteen eighty six, I'm at 354 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.440 Caesars Palace, my first trip to Vegas for a publishing convention, 355 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.359 which happened to coincide with the adult film convention. Porn 356 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:09.000 stars everywhere. It was crazy, but because some Forrest Benza, 357 00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.160 I see through the crowd there's Barbara Dair sitting on 358 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.920 some pedestal, signing photos, taking pictures of the fans. I 359 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.200 couldn't believe it. But at the same time, I'm thinking, 360 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:22.720 all right, I believe it. I said it. Make it happen, 361 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.200 big shot.
