WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.879 From Workhouse Connect and aj Benza fame. Uh, he'd liked 2 00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:09.160 to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, 3 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.560 kinky sex games. Is uh the guy put the cock 4 00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:18.120 in the peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody aj Benzi 5 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.480 here with fame is a bitch. This is your daily 6 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:25.079 Unfiltered podcast for November twentieth, twenty twenty four one one 7 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:29.399 two oh two oh two four or one one twenty 8 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.280 twenty twenty four. Let's think about bab blah blah blah 9 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.280 as we do the show. Well, I wish Barbara Walters 10 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.280 just could come back to their view and get rid 11 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:45.399 of some people who don't belong there, basically all of them. 12 00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:52.119 What a shit show that program is. I can't believe it, folks. 13 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.920 If you oh God, It's not like Dan Bongino. I 14 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.600 can't stay look at Bongino is definitely qualified to do 15 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.479 what he does. You know, I never really liked him 16 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.959 on air. I thought he was on Fox News to 17 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.159 basically attack Heraldo Rivera. That's what Sean Hannity had him for, 18 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.120 and he was his attack dog. You know, I'm not 19 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.159 saying Heraldo didn't deserve it, but there's something about Dan Bongino. 20 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.599 I get that he's unpolished. I respect his work in 21 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:27.359 the Secret Service at his military background, but I just 22 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:32.280 don't like him on his podcast. I just don't. I 23 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.560 know he knows a lot because he knows the lay 24 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.799 of the land with respect to the White House and 25 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.560 Secret Service and presidents, but I don't know. There's something 26 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.480 about him I find and I should talk because I'm 27 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.280 the most unpolished person in the world with a podcast, 28 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.799 and I wish I had his audience. But I don't 29 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.000 think he's that good at what he does. And I 30 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.760 just can't stand how many times he says folks, I 31 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.000 don't know. Not trying to shoot him down. The guy 32 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.560 does find jo and he's on our team. But yeah, 33 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.200 not a big fan. Not a big fan. Uh, listen, 34 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.560 you gotta listen to everything as a bitch. It's probably 35 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.919 gonna be up today. We finished it yesterday, Mike and myself. 36 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.960 It was so funny, as a lot of shows do 37 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.319 that him and I do together. It devolves into high 38 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.719 school and some of the crazy stuff that happened in 39 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:24.759 high school. And there are some stories that I just 40 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.039 I've covered a lot of them on my own show, 41 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.599 but sometimes Mike evokes in memory out of me that 42 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.960 I didn't have in my chest of I'm looking at 43 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:40.879 I'm looking at AOC on TV to my right. I 44 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.000 remember I said before the election that she's pregnant and 45 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.919 she would announce after Trump wins. But she hasn't announced yet, 46 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:52.000 so I guess I was wrong. I don't know. I 47 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.240 just felt like she was pregnant. I'm wrong. It happens, 48 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.439 happens once in a while, not a big deal. There's 49 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.280 something I wanted to address about the podcast Obsessed. Oh. 50 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.919 I understand some of you, and if you're listening to this, 51 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.319 then the problem isn't happening to you. But some of 52 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.599 you have had issues with the podcast not showing up 53 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.960 on the third party app overcast. One of you said 54 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.639 it didn't show up on Apple. Well, my Patreon shows 55 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.280 don't go to Apple. Only my free shows go to Apple, 56 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.599 which I'm going to start doing again now that I'm 57 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.080 in my apartment and everything is behind me, and I can, 58 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.840 you know, finally rest easy and do my shows each week, 59 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.439 which are ten shows a week. But if you had 60 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:43.039 problems with that, Mike Agavino said he's going to post 61 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.479 how post instructions on how you may be able to 62 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.560 get around that if it keeps happening. But happen to 63 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.759 me too. I listened to my show either through Patreon 64 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.960 or through overcast, and I didn't get Monday and Tuesday's 65 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:03.159 show either, so but they appeared on Patreon. So those 66 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.879 of you having an issue, why don't you listen on Patreon. 67 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.319 I don't get it, but Mike is going to address it. 68 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.560 It's not a problem on our end, it's a problem 69 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.759 out there. I don't know what, but I'll keep you posted. 70 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.399 I'll put something on the podcast of says Page. I'll 71 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.120 maybe do a live Facebook on it. But I can't 72 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.000 help those people who don't do Facebook and aren't on 73 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.920 the podcast of sess Page, and they just have to 74 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.279 figure it out, you know. I don't know what else 75 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.519 to say. I read an interesting article and it got 76 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.600 me thinking about the old days. Chaer has a book 77 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.600 coming out, her memoirs, and obviously a lot of it's 78 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.120 about Sonny Bono. It's amazing I haven't said his last 79 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.319 name in so long that when I see the word 80 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:53.959 I always say Bono. It's Sonny Bono. Sonny Bono used 81 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.920 a lie to share and say he was a direct 82 00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:01.439 descended from Napoleon Bonaparte that it was hard to fathohim 83 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:07.079 because Sonny Bono was Sicilian and Napoleon was Corsican. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 84 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.839 I guess people move around, but I kind of get 85 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:14.040 the feeling that was Sonny's little extra added ingredient about 86 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.079 himself to impress the girls. Maybe, but Shared tells some 87 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.199 great stories. Look, I can't stand in her politics either, 88 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:26.160 but there's no disagreeing that this woman led a fascinating life. 89 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.360 And if she tells the complete truth in her memoirs, 90 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.120 it would be a hell of a read, I believe, 91 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.199 if I'm not mistaken, Am I wrong about this? Why 92 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.800 do I think that she lost her virginity to Warren Baty? 93 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.439 I could swear that, well, Maarren wouldn't say that, but 94 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:50.079 I think I read that one time. I mean Shared 95 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.160 had some fun, But I mean when she met Sonny 96 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.519 she was sixteen and she lied and said she was 97 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.399 you know, seventeen is if that's even better? But I 98 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.800 guess back in the sixties it didn't really matter much. 99 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.639 But she did date Warren Beatty when she was Warren Batty. 100 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.680 I had to say Beatty Batty. She dated Warren at 101 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:16.879 sixteen years old, and she says she lost her virginity 102 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:23.279 to Warren Batty. Wow, unbelievable. And then she met Sonny. 103 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.000 Imagine you mean, imagine your sunny bono and you meet 104 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.560 a sixteen year old girl and you find out what 105 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.920 she's gross to begin with, but you find out that 106 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.639 she already lost a virginity to a superstar, you know, 107 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.040 who's not a tiny short Sicilian with a crazy bowl cut, 108 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:47.040 but he's a movie star. Anyhow. The excerpts from this 109 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.000 book are fascinating, the very interesting, the fact that Sonny 110 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.759 was just this very kind of controlling person, but he 111 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.040 knew what he wanted, he knew what he had to do. 112 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.800 He'd already written songs that was sung by other groups, 113 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.920 so when he met Share, he was beginning to become 114 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:07.920 a somebody. But she writes in the book that when 115 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.480 he first shut up at this table at some nightclub, 116 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.399 he was interested in Cher's friend, who happened to be 117 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.680 a lesbian. But Sonny didn't know that, and he didn't 118 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.639 really have interest in Share. But Chaer was living with 119 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.879 that girl in a platonic way, and at some point 120 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.279 the girl said, look, you're gonna have to get your 121 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.240 own place, so she didn't know what to do. She 122 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.560 saw Sonny move into a building next door to her, 123 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.399 and she approached him and said, I have no place 124 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.000 to go, and he said, you could stay with me Share. 125 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:37.800 Don't worry. I have twin beds and I'm not that 126 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:42.439 attracted to you, which was probably a lie. But eventually 127 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.519 she came to him crying one night, nervous about whatever, 128 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.040 and he said, you can sleep next to me in 129 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.199 the bed, but let's behave ourselves. So she's telling the 130 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.160 truth about how Sonny was, but in this book she 131 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:57.240 also says how he took God this. He set up 132 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:02.279 a company call that Think Share Enterprises and from that entity, 133 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:07.120 Sonny Bono took ninety five percent and the other five 134 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:15.240 percent went to his attorney Share God Netting. Wow. I Uh, 135 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.879 my cousin Vinnie, my uncle, Vinnie was very close to 136 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.720 Sonny and his ex wife Mary. I told you about 137 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.839 me going to Mary's restaurant. She had a place in 138 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:31.920 Long Beach, California. She got involved in politics, and one 139 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.519 night we all went down to eat there. You know, 140 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.000 Vinnie was very close to Sonny and Share. In fact, 141 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.600 when I stayed at Vinie's house when I first moved 142 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:44.279 to La he had this big white not a light bulb, 143 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:48.080 but the thing in the lamp that goes above you 144 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:49.960 and the light bulb hangs instead. I mean it's a 145 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.159 lighting fixture. But the fixture was a big white, at 146 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.000 least three bowling balls big, and it had Sonny and 147 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.240 SHARE's face on. It was a light from their Variety show. 148 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.279 And Vinnie had that, which I thought was always so cool. 149 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.200 But we went down to Long Beach to have dinner 150 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:12.039 with a couple of friends of ours, and Mary Bono 151 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.759 sat with us, and I didn't pick up on this, 152 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.039 but apparently she had a little bit of a thing 153 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.120 for me. I had no clue. So we're eating dinner. 154 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.960 She's bringing out fantastic food and all this is on 155 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.679 the arm. It's free, guys, please eat please. She sat 156 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.120 down with us, she's eating. I mentioned I love to 157 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.879 cook myself. Oh, you got to see the kitchen, I said, 158 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.559 I'd love to see the kitchen. Oh, I go see 159 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.279 the kitchen and Mary and I go in the kitchen 160 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.480 and Mary and now the staff is gone because it's 161 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.879 late and they're done cook. She throws me up against 162 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.840 the wall. And starts sticking her tongue down my throat 163 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.039 and she's begging me to touch her and squeeze. I 164 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.360 swear to God. And you know, it wasn't like a 165 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.000 woman that I I didn't want to be with her. 166 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.279 I didn't flirt with her. Just she was considerably old me. 167 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.000 I don't know. She just wanted to feel something. It's 168 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.320 and I felt horrible to be like, no, no, oh no, 169 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.440 come on, they gonna I have to make believe now 170 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.679 Uncle Vinnie's gonna catch me, and this is embarrassing. He 171 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.840 gotta come on another time. And then as I was leaving, 172 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.320 she was like, oh, I'm so sorry, Please please don't 173 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.200 hold that against me. I don't know what came over me. 174 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.960 Maybe it was the wine. I said, yeah, it's okay, 175 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:27.720 don't worry. I'll never say a word. I was back 176 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.879 in nineteen ninety seven, so I've said a word now. 177 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:36.120 But it happened again years later when I went to 178 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.080 I don't know why I'm telling the story like I'm 179 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.480 some big shot now. I'm just saying that sometimes these 180 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.159 things happen, and it's a weird feeling. I went to 181 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:48.240 the Sunset, the Sunset Bar, Sunset Marquee, which was the whiskey, 182 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.039 very famous bar that's inside at the bottom level of 183 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.120 the sunset Marquee in Beverly Hills, beautiful place, grate pool. 184 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.759 A lot of people go there, a little little fucking 185 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:02.000 time barr at the bottom of this is where I 186 00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.360 met Billy, Bob and Angelina, Joelee and a lot of 187 00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:08.039 people slash. I mean everybody goes there. Back in the day, 188 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:14.639 it was packed. So I'm there one night and do 189 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.919 you know the do you know the Oh God, I 190 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.919 hate you know. Maybe I shouldn't tell the story. I 191 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:24.879 feel bad. An actress, an actress came at me and 192 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:29.559 did the same thing, like just pushed me against the 193 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:34.919 wall in on the way to the restroom. And uh, 194 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.440 Patty Darbinville, who I love Patty, And we all know Patty. 195 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.000 She was a New Yorker. She she's gotten a lot 196 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:44.559 of work over the years. You know, dated Don Johnson. 197 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:46.960 Oh it's all, But when she did that to me, 198 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:48.600 I didn't want to be with Patty. I didn't know 199 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.360 what to do. And again, oh no, Patty, and people 200 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:56.120 are gonna catch us. It's embarrassing. Don't worry. I don't know. 201 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.720 People have needs. People have needs. And I talked about 202 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:01.639 a story like that with Mike today on Everything as 203 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.559 a Bitch, where I mentioned this story and I love 204 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:08.159 telling these stories to Mike because Mike didn't have this life. 205 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.639 And as a matter of fact, you know, Mike is 206 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:15.480 much more pragmatic and reasonable and more intelligent than I 207 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.360 am in a lot of ways. I lived my life 208 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.519 to have fun. Mike lived his life to build a 209 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:23.480 better life and a good life, and he's stacked, you know, 210 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.679 good karma on top of good karma. I wasn't doing that. 211 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.360 And I made mention of that on the Relationships as 212 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.320 a Bitch show, and you'll hear that as well, which 213 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.759 I talked to him in arena and said, you know, 214 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.159 I did bad things. I said, I still feel like 215 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.639 I'm paying back with Mike karma. Some of the things 216 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.679 I did, I said. I was with the woman one 217 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.879 time who was married, and I was doing I was 218 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:49.600 doing some advertising a TV show like a free weekend 219 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.080 of Showtime and the movie Channel, remember TMC, and I 220 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.279 was the guy who delivered scripts and I was looked 221 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.679 at the camera and talk about why you should get Showtime. 222 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:00.519 And I would review a couple of movies that are 223 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.840 going to be on Showtime and Movie Channel that week, 224 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.000 and it was all to sell those particular cable companies 225 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.840 and for people to subscribe. So I sat in this 226 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.919 makeshift desk with a typewriter in a bookshelf, and they 227 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:14.600 made it look like I was in my office, so 228 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.360 to speak, and I would deliver these lines that I wrote, 229 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:19.279 and I'd review the movies that are going to be 230 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:21.759 on Showtime and Movie Channel. The whole time, there was 231 00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.600 a woman across from me. Oh, a woman, you know. 232 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.480 She's probably in her thirties, so was I, and very pretty. 233 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.519 But she was behind the glass. She was a director, 234 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.919 and she stayed in the booth and I didn't really 235 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.720 she was behind the glass, but I could tell she 236 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.159 was very pretty, and I could tell from the glass 237 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.679 that I could see her upper body, and I'm like, okay, 238 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:46.679 that's a pretty girl there. I was single, and the 239 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.919 shoots over. I had one more day the next day 240 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.679 to do the Movie Channel stuff and okay, that's a wrap. 241 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:55.559 And this girl came out and gave me a hug 242 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.159 as much as normal. You say goodbye to the crew 243 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.960 that helped you work. Okay, guys, thanks so much. That's 244 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.000 a wrap. And then uh, okay, thanks so much. You know, 245 00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.320 it's like a ten thousand dollars off of two days work. 246 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.159 It was easy, peasy. I go back to the office. 247 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.679 A week later, I got a phone call. It's the 248 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.960 director a j Hi, it's Chris. Listen, I have the 249 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.120 tapes of all the stuff you did, if you want them. 250 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.360 I said, yeah, I like them. I don't know where 251 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.720 they are now, but because I could mail them or 252 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.240 I could meet you and hand them to you. And 253 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.799 she was pretty so I said, we'll just meet. I said, well, 254 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:29.799 I'll take you to dinner. You know, you did a 255 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.679 nice thing. You gave me a great a great easy gig. 256 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.080 Let me spend somebody. But then to my friend's restaurant. 257 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.000 We'll go down to Boom and soho oh yeah, yeah, 258 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.480 you know, I's Friday. Okay. So I meet her there 259 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:44.039 at the restaurant. First thing she says to me when 260 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:46.919 we meet, I've never done this before. So what do 261 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:51.200 you mean I've never I've never been with the man 262 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.399 I'm married. I did not know that's where she was headed. 263 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.399 I not gonna lie. I thought that, hey, you know, 264 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.120 maybe who knows, there could be some fun here. But 265 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:02.639 she just said, I've never done this. I said, Oh, 266 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.639 don't worry, don't worry. We don't have to do No, 267 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.240 I want to. Oh, okay, you want to? And I 268 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.519 said on the relationship show, because we were talking about 269 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.799 people getting divorced or not being happy and how marriages 270 00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.480 or relationships have trouble and I, you know, sex is 271 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.399 a big part of it. And this girl said to me, 272 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.000 and it was not easy for her to say this. 273 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.559 She said, you know what, I have a great husband. 274 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.639 He is a wonderful guy. He's a good father. We 275 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:33.440 have two kids, both under seven, and he's just a 276 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:38.039 wonderful guy. But I don't feel wanted by him. I 277 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.919 don't feel hungered by him. I'm hearing this going, oh 278 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:44.480 Jesus Christ. And I just, you know, oh God, don't 279 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:47.600 think badly of me. I said, I don't stop. I 280 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:51.240 totally get it. Just don't worry about it. And she's 281 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:53.799 basically telling me she wants to go back and you know, 282 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.519 culminate this situation. And we did. 283 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.159 And basically, and I hated to hear this. This girl 284 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.480 wanted to be treated a different way. She didn't want 285 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.159 to be treated like something fragile in a box. 286 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.600 That's taped together. She wanted to feel like free and 287 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.399 maybe hear some things in her ear that she never heard. 288 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:23.440 And I did that for her. Okay, that ends. She 289 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.279 was very happy. Please don't think ill of me. Stop 290 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.840 saying that I don't look life is complicated, it's long. 291 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:32.159 I'm glad I was there to help you. That's the 292 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.519 way I thought back that I was providing a service, 293 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.919 which is so stupid. I should have said I'm not. No, 294 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.360 you're married, your husband's a good guy. I don't I 295 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.759 don't want to get involved. But no, me, mister shortcut said, 296 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.559 oh boy, this is an easy one. And then about 297 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:52.879 two months later, her husband died. He was walking through 298 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.960 the train cars to go back up to Westchester County 299 00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:59.759 and this, you know, you walk through the cars on 300 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.600 a t and for a second or so you're in 301 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.279 between cars, and you could fall off the train if 302 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.880 you're being sloppy or drunk or whatever. He was neither, 303 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:13.799 but he slipped, and he fell off the train and died. 304 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.359 And I carried this guilt around, not because it was 305 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.720 my fault, but I thought, oh my god, this fucking 306 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:25.160 guy has a nice wife, two kids. I what did 307 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:28.640 I do? So whatever my life is like issues and problems. 308 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.799 I always think back to the shit I did wrong 309 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.000 that other men didn't know I did, and it makes 310 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:38.000 me feel real shitty, it really does. Of him being honest. 311 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.200 But anyhow, we're talking about sunny and show. Oh I 312 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.880 know what about to say? I wanted to say that 313 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:46.119 back then. You know, we'd all watch around the TV 314 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.480 all these variety shows, right, everybody had one Glenn Campbell 315 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.640 Good Time Hour. Oh my god. It's knowing that your 316 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.039 door was always open and you're a path is free 317 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.319 to all that makes me tenderly, my sleeping bag rolled 318 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.720 up and stashed behind your couch. I love that first 319 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.359 Stanza because it didn't rhyme, and I thought, what balls on? 320 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:12.000 Glenn Campbell not even rhyming? Good for him. And it's 321 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:14.920 knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bombs and 322 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.160 the he stands all dried upon some line that keeps 323 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:20.000 you in the back road by the rivers of my 324 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:24.160 memory and keeps you evgen alone my mind. Can I 325 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.839 be honest with you? I remember, I remember hearing that 326 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:33.440 and knowing those words that keeps you in the back 327 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:39.559 roads by the rivers of my memory. I remember thinking, I, I, 328 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:41.359 how do you write that? How do you how do 329 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.480 you find those words to write that? And then you 330 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:49.839 know I did. But isn't that something? As a kid, 331 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:54.319 Perry Como had a variety show, John Denver, of course, 332 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.880 John Davidson, who I mean, I don't know what talent 333 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:01.799 he had. Here's the name for the past. How many 334 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:06.160 of you remember Bobby Goldsborough? And if that's not loving me, 335 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:10.119 then all I've got to say. God didn't make little 336 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.119 green apples. It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time. 337 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.759 No one has put Indianapolis in a song. There's no 338 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.119 such thing as Doctor Seuss, no Disneyland, Mother Goose, There's 339 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.559 no nursery rhyme. Yeah, we all sat around the TV 340 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.519 and listened to these awful songs, but we were with 341 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:35.519 our family, are siblings. There was Mac Davis, Pearl Belly, 342 00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.880 who my father loved, And as I looked back, I said, 343 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:44.799 my dad liked black women, Edna James Pearl Bailey, Dinah Washington, 344 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:49.640 Come on that smothers brothers. My god, that was a 345 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:53.319 funny show. Tony Orlando and Dawn with not three times. 346 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:59.039 Diane Carol, do you remember Diane Carroll, what a beautiful woman. 347 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.119 I remember she was dating David Frost, the Upper crust 348 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.720 talk show hosts, and I recall one of the first 349 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.880 times in my life I remember talking about or noticing 350 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:16.319 the fact that it was an interracial relationship. And I 351 00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:18.680 think that was the first time. I was like eight 352 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:24.000 years old, but I understood, or I recognized that whites 353 00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:27.799 and blacks could be together. And once I knew that, 354 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:31.680 I found it fascinating and I jumped into soul train, 355 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:34.720 and you know, I just you know, I looked at 356 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.640 my sister's album, Martha and the Vandella's. I just looked 357 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.440 at these saw these these musical groups from the fifties, 358 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:42.960 and I'm like, oh, I want to hear black women sing. 359 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:45.920 Isn't amazing that you just don't know what your kids 360 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:54.160 are seeing that that rattles around their brain. But I 361 00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:58.039 gotta say something and then maybe you have a similar upbringing. 362 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.039 My father was his racist as they came back in 363 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:03.960 the day. The N word was said in our house. 364 00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:06.759 A lot of words were said in our house. I mean, 365 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.759 he made fun of Italians too. But when I remarked 366 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:14.680 on the interracial aspect of Diane Carroll and David Frost. 367 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.720 My father just like waved his hand like, ah, yeah, 368 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.400 that's bullshit. Just like try to let me know, no, 369 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:26.920 that's that's bullshit. Doesn't happen. I don't know. Carol Burnett 370 00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:31.960 obviously was huge. Remember remember Captain and Taneil Muskrat Love 371 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.359 It's a big I'll tell you what. Make fun of 372 00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:38.160 them all you want, But to this day, whenever you 373 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:42.599 hear the initial beats to Love Well Keep Us Together, 374 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.599 come on, you have to sing along that song. Those two, 375 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.160 they were the epitome of pop music in the seventies, 376 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:54.880 along with Elton John and a few others Jackson five. 377 00:21:55.279 --> 00:22:01.400 That was real pop. Muskrat Susie Muskrat, Sam Do the 378 00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:06.200 Jitterbug and Muskrat. I remember me and my mother going shopping. 379 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:09.839 My sister Lauriam was driving her Camaro Silver Camaro to 380 00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:13.079 King Cullen to get cold cuts on a Saturday afternoon, 381 00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:17.119 and all the good music was on AM radio and 382 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.759 we would listen to that song. The first time we 383 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:23.759 heard it, I'm not lying, we were on Keith Lane. 384 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:27.640 I still remember going south on Keith Lane and my 385 00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:30.400 sister turning up the volume. I love this song. Much 386 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.480 my mother. Oh the rain stop it. Mauch's a good song. 387 00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:39.279 They're singing about rats and rodents. It's not about that, 388 00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:44.319 it's about love. It's about rats. Those two were together. 389 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.839 They were together thirty nine years before they got a divorce. 390 00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:54.000 Sometimes you go, why bother, why they need to divorce 391 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:57.599 so late in life. I remember it was reported that 392 00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:01.519 Tony Today was a lesbian and finally had enough keeping 393 00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:05.200 that a secret. But she denied that. She wrote a 394 00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:08.319 book and denied it. I don't believe it, but she 395 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.680 denied it. But they had a great run. I mean, 396 00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:16.119 they came out so strong and so fast that back 397 00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:18.799 in nineteen seventy six, they went to the Grammys. Right, 398 00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:22.400 they were asked to be the guests of honor at 399 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.440 their label's Grammy party. But the hitch was that they 400 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.200 weren't invited to the party until they took home the 401 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:33.480
