Speaker 1: From Workhouse Connect and aj Benze fame. He'd liked to
Speaker 1: be walked on a leash and play really dirty kinky
Speaker 1: sex games. Is uh the guy put the cock in
Speaker 1: the Peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody aj Benzi here
Speaker 1: with fame is a bitch. This is your daily unfiltered podcast. Ah,
Speaker 1: should Mike put it up tonight? Well, you'll probably get
Speaker 1: up tonight Tuesday night. Solely she'll have it on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Sorry about Monday. Sick for twelve hours, stomach sick, noise,
Speaker 1: just throwing up, wretching of sorts.
Speaker 2: It was horrible.
Speaker 1: I can't work with anse. I just did a whole
Speaker 1: spiel on this for politics.
Speaker 2: A bitch.
Speaker 1: I don't want to repeat it over and over. But
Speaker 1: I'm not skipping shows. I'm not raising the price and
Speaker 1: trying to work less. It's all nonsense. I just the
Speaker 1: last couple of years, I'm getting sick once a month
Speaker 1: with the stomach thing, and when it happens, I'm done.
Speaker 1: It's twelve hours on the nose and I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. Wasn't food poisoning the night before. I
Speaker 1: hardly ate anything at watermelon, some straw. I ate fruit
Speaker 1: for dinner. You know, so I don't know, but I'm
Speaker 1: back today and I want you to know that I
Speaker 1: hate when I don't work. In fact, i'm I feel
Speaker 1: sicker on the couch trying to not stress out, hoping
Speaker 1: I can take. But the more I stress i'm the
Speaker 1: more I get sicker because I don't like the fact
Speaker 1: that I'm that I'm not able to do your show.
Speaker 1: And I'm concern you guys think I'm playing a fast
Speaker 1: one or playing hooky, which I'm not doing. And I
Speaker 1: you know, like I said in the past, I'm locked
Speaker 1: out of Patreon, so I couldn't put a note up there.
Speaker 1: I know Mike did, so at least you got the word.
Speaker 1: But look, I'm sorry about it. There'll be a free
Speaker 1: show this week to kind of more or less make
Speaker 1: up for what happened Monday, so you get extra age.
Speaker 2: You got four shows for me today.
Speaker 1: I taped four shows everything relationships, politics, and fame, and
Speaker 1: after this is going to watch my Yankees try to
Speaker 1: pull a miracle out of their ass.
Speaker 2: They need it, they need it. I get very disappointed
Speaker 2: when I miss the show.
Speaker 1: For one reason this week was because I failed to
Speaker 1: be able to talk about well a very important holiday
Speaker 1: of sorts that we're not really looking into. I haven't
Speaker 1: heard of this one, but I guess a lot of
Speaker 1: people must look forward to it every year.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, October sixth was National Oversized Dress Appreciation Day.
Speaker 2: Guys, oh, I hate missing that.
Speaker 1: Every year October sixth promoting body positivity, self love, and
Speaker 1: the celebration of diverse body types, particularly larger bodies. It's
Speaker 1: recognized by the National Day Calendar. The day serves to
Speaker 1: challenge conventional beauties. That why are we're challenging them? There
Speaker 1: are standards of beauty, period, just like there's a blood
Speaker 1: pressure range healthy and dangerous, there's blood levels, and there's
Speaker 1: so many different things in our body that give you
Speaker 1: a wide range of you're good, you're healthy. Up that
Speaker 1: number is too high? Better lower you live in number.
Speaker 1: Better lower this number your diet, your sugar levels too.
Speaker 2: Why can't beauty be the same thing.
Speaker 1: Most people could work on the side of themselves, not
Speaker 1: not their features so much lest they got money and
Speaker 1: want to do with facial surgery. I'm not in favor
Speaker 1: for that, but most people could help themselves out, like
Speaker 1: you have to help yourself out with high blood pressure
Speaker 1: or hypertension, whatever the hell you got high cholesterol, you know,
Speaker 1: the blood pounds we get back that say what levels up?
Speaker 1: With levels down? Correct this fix that beauty should be
Speaker 1: the same thing, because beauty is tied to health in
Speaker 1: in my opinion, they're pretty tight together, beauty and health.
Speaker 2: But either way, look supposed to build.
Speaker 1: Confidence and plus size individuals by acknowledging their inherent value
Speaker 1: and elegance.
Speaker 2: They have value, of course, elegance.
Speaker 1: I mean some might, but it's not elegant when you've
Speaker 1: got to wear a size twenty dress and that's not elegant.
Speaker 1: You know, people say when they see someone in the
Speaker 1: size eighteen of size twenty dress come to a function,
Speaker 1: she tried. I mean, that's a nice stress.
Speaker 2: She tried. No one says, my god, that she blow
Speaker 2: me over. No one says that anyhow. I don't keep
Speaker 2: picking on this stuff just.
Speaker 1: But you know, body positivity is still very important in
Speaker 1: this world. Challenge beauty standards, boost your confidence. Acknowledging inclusivity.
Speaker 1: There's that word again, diversity inclusivity. All right, share the
Speaker 1: hashtag on social media. I forgot to do that. And
Speaker 1: you know what shop inclusive brands there we go inclusive diversity.
Speaker 2: It's all there.
Speaker 1: They used every word. Isn't that something unbelievable? Ask brands
Speaker 1: to increase their offering of plus sized clothing and accessories?
Speaker 2: What are they your accessories? What do you get?
Speaker 1: Bigger necklaces, bigger ear rings? What except you mean belts?
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. Jesus Christ, and you know.
Speaker 2: The seventh of October was National Taco Day.
Speaker 1: You see how Taco Day comes after National Plus Sized
Speaker 1: Dress Appreciation Day. So the people who have to wear
Speaker 1: plus sized dresses can do. Can go to any taco
Speaker 1: bell they want and shout down like crazy, have their
Speaker 1: nineteen tacos before they go shopping.
Speaker 2: Makes sense.
Speaker 1: That was kind of the national day calendar. By the way,
Speaker 1: there's a gay Pride being celebrated again this month in
Speaker 1: different parts of the country, so they have June and October.
Speaker 1: I thought October was Italian History month, Italian Pride month.
Speaker 1: See my two months June my birthday. I've told of
Speaker 1: my background of both getting the gay treatment, the gay
Speaker 1: pride treatment, and I don't like it. It feels personal.
Speaker 2: I don't like it.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you a cute story that resonates with
Speaker 1: me and Joey and Rosalie, the whole thing. When Jackie
Speaker 1: was younger, he loved the game Zelda. He wasn't even
Speaker 1: that young. He loved Zelda until he was gone. He
Speaker 1: loved playing Zelda. I never played it. I've seen people
Speaker 1: play it. I find it. It would drive me crazy,
Speaker 1: little girl, Hey, he flipping around. I can't do that stuff.
Speaker 1: But that generation grew up with their hands on controllers,
Speaker 1: so to them and second nature, and you'd always get
Speaker 1: Joey to play with him. Joey didn't like Zelda. Joey
Speaker 1: back then was too much at the sports and didn't
Speaker 1: outside of playing James Bond, which I love the sniper
Speaker 1: game where you dinner every time he got killed Dan
Speaker 1: and Joey was a great sniper, and I wasn't good
Speaker 1: at the game.
Speaker 2: So I turned a corner. I could never operate the
Speaker 2: controllers right.
Speaker 1: I just thought spinning around my James mom would spin around,
Speaker 1: run into walls, and Joey would find places in buildings
Speaker 1: and just put me in the sites and blow my
Speaker 1: head off and the whole screen would fill with red.
Speaker 2: So I stopped playing airball.
Speaker 1: But Joey was interested in sports and James Bond didn't
Speaker 1: want to play Zelda, didn't want to do it. But
Speaker 1: as he gets older, he discovers Zelda and he's been
Speaker 1: playing it a lot.
Speaker 2: When he's free, he jumps on the computer and plays it.
Speaker 1: And now he's got cc and Ava into it and
Speaker 1: they love it. They play together with him, and that's
Speaker 1: a great bonding thing. We used to play that with
Speaker 1: Roxy and Rocco back in the day. But it's fun.
Speaker 1: It's fun for the family to play. And he said,
Speaker 1: can you I used to.
Speaker 2: Hate this game. Jackie tried to me play it, and
Speaker 2: now it's all my daughter's doing. I'm off.
Speaker 1: We'd love to play Zelda and make fun of the screen.
Speaker 1: And I go, don't you realize what happened? That was
Speaker 1: Jackie's That's Jackie's gift to you. That's what he gave you.
Speaker 1: He said, I know, I thought of That made me cry.
Speaker 1: I told mom and she cried, and I told the
Speaker 1: kids that Jackie told me how to play this game.
Speaker 1: And I love stories like that, you know, like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to play that stupid game. Then you play
Speaker 1: it and you realize, holy shit, And you know what
Speaker 1: Jackie used to always do.
Speaker 2: He would take our fifteen yorkies that we had back then, and.
Speaker 1: He would do like wrestling moves with them because he
Speaker 1: was obsessed with professional wrestling, so he'd do like but
Speaker 1: in slow motion.
Speaker 2: He wouldn't hurt them. Pala bombs, rear naked.
Speaker 1: Chokes, all the moves you see. And he had a
Speaker 1: few dogs that would like to play with me. You'd
Speaker 1: count them out on the couch.
Speaker 2: One, two, it's all then, and we'd all laugh.
Speaker 1: And the other day I see a picture of these
Speaker 1: one of these gyms that like a trampoline spot we
Speaker 1: have in different towns.
Speaker 2: We have a few out here.
Speaker 1: They're really fun trampolines with a basketball court where kids
Speaker 1: can dunk and just a bunch of tramps and even
Speaker 1: the walls have patty you can jump off the walls.
Speaker 1: And now they have these games, these areas where fathers
Speaker 1: are just tossing their kids and doing all complete professional
Speaker 1: wrestling moves. I mean, everything is going on. Kids are
Speaker 1: doing with the kids father's doing today.
Speaker 2: Kids.
Speaker 1: It's adorable. You pick up these big rubber things and
Speaker 1: smack your kid, they smack you back. Joey goes, That's
Speaker 1: all I do now with the kids when we go
Speaker 1: out to play. I take them with one of those parks,
Speaker 1: one of those real auditoriums we want to call it.
Speaker 2: And we played a wrestling game and I throw them
Speaker 2: all over the place.
Speaker 1: So that's something else Jackie gave to us, because that's
Speaker 1: all he did, and we thought he was nuts back then.
Speaker 1: None of us like wrestling. And now you're doing that
Speaker 1: too with your kids. So even though he's not there
Speaker 1: and never met CEC, which really broke Joey up the
Speaker 1: night we all got together and met the night Jackie died,
Speaker 1: Joey broke down when he just said he just hit us.
Speaker 2: He I didn't think of it. He said he'll never
Speaker 2: meet CC. He never met her. He only met Ava.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Fuck.
Speaker 1: So I was sick, like I said, but watch a
Speaker 1: lot of TVV as best I could, and I was
Speaker 1: trying to sleep. So I took my THC gummy gummy
Speaker 1: thing and then I took two dramamine come On kick in,
Speaker 1: I drank some sleepy time tea anything, and I finally
Speaker 1: got down to sleep at ten.
Speaker 2: Thirty or so. But watch Chad Powers last night.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I think it's on Hulu.
Speaker 1: It's a story starring Glenn Powell. The handsome guy that
Speaker 1: was at Sydney Sweeney and he's been very popular lately.
Speaker 1: Plays a famous college football player who fucks up the
Speaker 1: national championship game, drops the ball too early before it
Speaker 1: crosses the goal line. Another player picks up, runs the
Speaker 1: whole field back, and they lose the National championship.
Speaker 2: His life spirals out of control.
Speaker 1: I'm not ruining anything, and we'll take it into Football's
Speaker 1: his life. He'll never be a pronoun because of his
Speaker 1: fuck up. Plus, he punched the guy on this on
Speaker 1: this field who was trying to get his attention, and
Speaker 1: there was a kid with cancer in a wheelchair and
Speaker 1: he punches the guy. The guy falls over the cancer kid.
Speaker 1: That was a tough scene to watch. It's a comedy.
Speaker 1: And then the kid died about five years later, and
Speaker 1: then his life was really like he couldn't get signed,
Speaker 1: no more agents, no more TV shows done. So he
Speaker 1: comes up with this plan to go back to college
Speaker 1: with prosthetics on his face and fake hair and planted
Speaker 1: a Southern Georgia college. That's as much as I'll tell you,
Speaker 1: but it's that kind of mad cap crazy prosthetics in
Speaker 1: a wig, and he's still got the talent but looks.
Speaker 2: Nothing like the guy here we really is.
Speaker 1: And I'm watching it and there's that beautiful girl, Perry Mattfield. Oh,
Speaker 1: she's so beautiful. She was in a few movies recently.
Speaker 1: She's got the biggest dimple on the left side of
Speaker 1: her face. She always shows the left side of her face.
Speaker 1: I think directors know that the right one is decent,
Speaker 1: but the left one, my God, Like I said, you
Speaker 1: can put a cup of water in there, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: still it drop. Just a beautiful girl, a lot of
Speaker 1: early Jennifer Aniston facial mannerisms, but beautiful, beautiful, And it
Speaker 1: got me feeling weird because she's married to the New
Speaker 1: York Jets ex quarterback Mark Sanchez, who's been arrested after
Speaker 1: stabbing that guy in the grease truck and being drunk
Speaker 1: and disorderly and running winds sprints outside of a pub
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis the night before he was supposed to call
Speaker 1: a game on National TV and took the guy's knife
Speaker 1: away from Sanchez got stabbed in the side, but he
Speaker 1: body slammed the guy twice. The guy's twice his age
Speaker 1: seventy one. Sanchez is thirty eight, so almost twice his age,
Speaker 1: and then took the knife off of him and put
Speaker 1: it through his cheek and got his cheek and his tongue.
Speaker 1: The guy looks like such a mess. He was in
Speaker 1: critical condition for days. Now he's stable. Sanchez is gonna
Speaker 1: get felonies. The guy's sixty nine, okay, and Sanchezester's thirty eight.
Speaker 2: I believe can't.
Speaker 1: Body slam sixty nine year old men, but that's tough.
Speaker 1: I can't believe that there was only a three hundred
Speaker 1: dollars cash bond. Why because if I yelled in my
Speaker 1: house that it costs twenty thousand.
Speaker 2: What the fuck is that about it?
Speaker 1: I mean, if I body slam my neighbor and stabbed him,
Speaker 1: I get three hundred.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 1: So, uh look, this guy's in trouble, and I have
Speaker 1: a question asked. Because Sanchez's facing a couple of felonies,
Speaker 1: He's not gonna work on TV as a broadcaster anymore.
Speaker 2: Uh So he's.
Speaker 1: Gonna be found guilty. And once you found guilty, the
Speaker 1: civil trial kicks in. He's gonna be suit simpy for
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot of money. And I'm wondering, well,
Speaker 1: this beautiful Perry Matfield after three years of marriage. Stick around.
Speaker 1: I mean she makes her own money. Good actress, getting
Speaker 1: more and more in demand. Used to be a dancer,
Speaker 1: learned under Debbie Allen's.
Speaker 2: A very talented girl.
Speaker 1: And there's the fact that I haven't brought this up yet,
Speaker 1: but this is a COVID romance. They met during COVID
Speaker 1: and ended up staying together. What's that called not coalescing?
Speaker 1: When you have to disappear for the word they had
Speaker 1: to They were together for whatever reason. And while they
Speaker 1: were together, you know, hibernating for lack of a better word,
Speaker 1: from the crazy virus from China. They they ended up
Speaker 1: standing together and getting hitched. A lot of people fell
Speaker 1: for each other during COVID. Andrew and I too. I
Speaker 1: think you put a lot of thoughts in our head
Speaker 1: that we could die. What are we doing? Are we
Speaker 1: in something unhappy?
Speaker 2: As our life? Not fulfilled? You know?
Speaker 1: You just the same thing happened if at nine to eleven?
Speaker 1: Do I want to be signaled? Do I want to
Speaker 1: start a family? What am I doing alone this world?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: I think COVID is kind of the same thing. And
Speaker 1: I would venture a guest that a lot of those
Speaker 1: romances that happened during COVID are either over or about
Speaker 1: to be. And I think it's going to be a
Speaker 1: lot different when you're dealing with a couple where one
Speaker 1: completely lost his head, body slammed, an old man stabbed
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be found guilty and sued for millions,
Speaker 1: and a beautiful young actress. I don't think that one's
Speaker 1: gonna make it. I don't think she's gonna stick around
Speaker 1: to be with the man who's gonna be so despised
Speaker 1: and unemployable.
Speaker 2: He didn't make a fortune at football. I mean he
Speaker 2: made money, but.
Speaker 1: Not a fortune. He's still gotta work. He makes a
Speaker 1: lot of money broadcasting. That's over.
Speaker 2: You got morals clauses and all that kind of conduct clauses.
Speaker 2: You can't do that.
Speaker 1: So I think this relationship as we learn more and
Speaker 1: more about Sanchez, they're waiting for his toxicology reports. Obviously
Speaker 1: he was loaded. He was doing wind sprints in an
Speaker 1: alleyway outside the bar, it's a crazy thing to do,
Speaker 1: and was mad because the guy parked his car up
Speaker 1: truck in a loading dock and was blocking Sanchez his
Speaker 1: way in the alley. And you know the guy couldn't
Speaker 1: hear me. He has ear plugs in because the truck
Speaker 1: is so loud when he's transferring oil or grease, whatever,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bad. By the way, you guys made
Speaker 1: me laugh well making that. But there's something I wanted
Speaker 1: to bring up because you asked me today on the page,
Speaker 1: what's some of my favorite mysteries and scandals episodes were?
Speaker 1: Because one was on that somebody liked a lot, I
Speaker 1: guess and they asked me my opinion, and that one
Speaker 1: came after, well, this is about this is the Frankie
Speaker 1: Liman episode. A good episode. Frankie Limon was definitely a
Speaker 1: good episode, but the question was not true from who
Speaker 1: oh Joe Leon, I wonder what episode stuck with you
Speaker 1: and kind of freaked you. Schedule interested you the most
Speaker 1: story wise, so I said an answer on the show,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I like Frankie Lymon. Bobby Fuller is
Speaker 1: a great story, Sam Cook is a great horrible ending
Speaker 1: to a wonderful life. But to me, the tippy Top
Speaker 1: was Alfalfa from The Little Rascals because that was the
Speaker 1: first time the show ever got over a million viewers,
Speaker 1: and that was enough to beat Howard Sterns, which came
Speaker 1: on after us, and I thought that was so cool.
Speaker 1: In fact, I wanted to show the next day and
Speaker 1: told him. I kept saying, I beat you, I beat you.
Speaker 1: He's like, what's the big deal you gave me one time? AJ,
Speaker 1: I know, but it's pretty cool. I know you're the
Speaker 1: king of all media. But I beat you one night.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: And he got to kick out it.
Speaker 1: But I put a I like the way I looked
Speaker 1: at Alfalfa. I remember we were on top of a
Speaker 1: roof at a. It was in Hollywood, off to one
Speaker 1: on one by Gower, the corner off Gower and uh
Speaker 1: on the corner of Gower and not Yuka, but the
Speaker 1: other one Highland made. I don't forget it out Gower
Speaker 1: and I forget. I haven't been up in Hollywood and
Speaker 1: so long. It's disgusting up there.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I might actually do a walk through Hollywood late at
Speaker 1: night to see just how bad it is. There's a
Speaker 1: friend of mine who's been doing it, and I want
Speaker 1: to do it. I want to go late two o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning, dress up a little ratty, and I
Speaker 1: understand the stuff, the freaks that come out and the
Speaker 1: rats that are everywhere, that don't even scurry if they
Speaker 1: see you so brazen. Now that's gonna scam me more
Speaker 1: than crazy people rats scam me more, but they're gonna
Speaker 1: do it at some point.
Speaker 2: I love the a lah no Zimova show. Most of
Speaker 2: you don't know who she is.
Speaker 1: I did neither, But she was this famous lesbian who
Speaker 1: owned a place called the Florentine Gardens of Sunset I
Speaker 1: think in Crescent Heights, I believe, or Hyland and Sunset.
Speaker 2: Either way, she man.
Speaker 1: She had this place called Florentine Gardens where everybody came
Speaker 1: to hang out, get fucked up, have orgies, you know,
Speaker 1: gay sex. You know, men who couldn't be seen in
Speaker 1: Hollywood having a gay romance would go to her place.
Speaker 1: They had. There was a big pool there in a
Speaker 1: bunch of rooms like a motelish kind of feel, and
Speaker 1: a club and John barrenmore the biggest stars went there
Speaker 1: and hung out, and some of them lived there for
Speaker 1: different periods of time. You could live there longer, like
Speaker 1: a long stay kind of thing. And I found that
Speaker 1: fascinating because of all the stars who had to hide
Speaker 1: their sexuality and they had a place to go to
Speaker 1: deal with that must have been a lot of fun
Speaker 1: that place. I love the Black Dahalia probably my favorite.
Speaker 1: The poor girl Elizabeth Short who got chopped up, chopped up,
Speaker 1: and whoever killed it, they still haven't found out. Caught
Speaker 1: a smile in her face from ear to ear, went
Speaker 1: across her cheeks to make it like a smile, like
Speaker 1: a joker, cut off her breasts, damaged her vagina, terribly
Speaker 1: dismembered her. And I believe, well, I know he did that,
Speaker 1: but I know he also drained her all all of
Speaker 1: her blood was drained. And then she was put out
Speaker 1: in a lot of field on her residential street where
Speaker 1: property wasn't being built yet, And that's how she was discovered.
Speaker 1: And she was an actress who always wore a flower
Speaker 1: a dahlia in her hair, and she was promiscuous, got around.
Speaker 1: They never found or were able to arrest them. On
Speaker 1: this and the theories out there, I got a couple
Speaker 1: of books on it. It's time for a whole show
Speaker 1: on Elizabeth Short. So I'll look into that peg and Twistle,
Speaker 1: one of my first ones. I loved it because just
Speaker 1: the whole thing about an actress jumping off the Hollywood
Speaker 1: sign to suicide, because she wasn't getting enough work. It's
Speaker 1: amazing more of them haven't done that.
Speaker 2: You know. They found a shoe on the hill and
Speaker 2: a handbag and she got dressed up to jump.
Speaker 1: And the saddest thing is that I think two or
Speaker 1: three days later she got a telegram to get work
Speaker 1: in some I believe, a play in a different state.
Speaker 2: If you just waited a couple of days, she'd be okay.
Speaker 1: But she was overcome with the fact that she couldn't
Speaker 1: get work and the phone wasn't ringing. I know that feeling,
Speaker 1: but not to kill yourself of a Hollywood But that
Speaker 1: was the first time I ever went up to the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Sign. I got close as soon as you can.
Speaker 1: You can't touch it. You get to a fence that's
Speaker 1: right around it, and of course there's park ranges. How
Speaker 1: he couldn't climb it. I would love to have climbed
Speaker 1: it and touched sign, but no, they wouldn't let you
Speaker 1: do it. And the other fascinating thing is that she
Speaker 1: wore a guardena cologne or perfume that was her signature scent.
Speaker 1: And at night, and that's when we filmed it. You
Speaker 1: can smell Guardina and the rangers said, and they all
Speaker 1: say this, there was no Guardina growing in in that
Speaker 1: hilled area. So is that her scent that's still out there?
Speaker 1: Is the ghost still there? It's a creepy story and
Speaker 1: I love it. Ramon Navarro, silent film star, loved this
Speaker 1: because he was having a flame with Rudolph Valentino among
Speaker 1: other people. But this poor bastard was killed I think
Speaker 1: in the sixties or seventies, living up in the hills,
Speaker 1: Hollywood Hills, retired.
Speaker 2: You know, he'd call up.
Speaker 1: Day mail escorts to come to his young young guys
Speaker 1: to come to his house and pleasure him. They'd have
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, probably got a little loaded, and
Speaker 1: go about their business. But one day he called up
Speaker 1: i think two brothers and they beat him to death.
Speaker 2: And the weapon of death they.
Speaker 1: Used was a big, heavy, wooden dildo that Rudolph Valentina
Speaker 1: had given Navarro as a gift. And we couldn't say
Speaker 1: that on TV because our show would repeat during the day.
Speaker 1: We couldn't say a rubber dildo or phallax simb but
Speaker 1: we couldn't say a wooden object. I'm like, can you
Speaker 1: fucking You're taking all the fun out of the story man,
Speaker 1: the whole irony of two gay escorts beating a man
Speaker 1: with a wooden dildo. It's too much from Valentino, it's beautiful,
Speaker 1: it's crazy.
Speaker 2: No wooden object.
Speaker 1: Betsy Rot, fucking supervising producer. What a pain theah she was.
Speaker 1: I've been told she liked me a lot.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: She was tough to get along with, but anyhow, Finally,
Speaker 1: Albert Decker, the actor who was found with a ball
Speaker 1: of gag in his mouth and all sorts of shit
Speaker 1: hanging from his shower.
Speaker 2: They called it a suicide, not.
Speaker 1: Quite sure it was also I think burn marks on
Speaker 1: his back or some kind of marks on his back,
Speaker 1: or something that he couldn't have done. You can't write
Speaker 1: in your back before you kill yourself. Very strange, but
Speaker 1: they called it a suicide back then, and no one
Speaker 1: got to know too much about the ballgag in his
Speaker 1: mouth and what exactly was in the bathroom at the
Speaker 1: time he died. But you know, autoerotic asphyxiation.
Speaker 2: But someone else had to.
Speaker 1: Be there because of the telltale signs. And I like
Speaker 1: him in movies. I've seen him in some old movies.
Speaker 1: It's a crazy ass story, but those are my off
Speaker 1: the top of my head. I'll do more during the week.
Speaker 1: You guys also wanted me to comment on the fact
Speaker 1: that Esquire magazine back in the day put me on
Speaker 1: their se list. I was put on the sea List,
Speaker 1: and I took a picture of it to show you
Speaker 1: got here. It is very proud to have made Esquy
Speaker 1: Magazine's yearly Hollywood Sealist. This is before I got This
Speaker 1: is two years before I got to Hollywood, but I
Speaker 1: still made the Hollywood seed List. A lot of big
Speaker 1: names on here the Esquy I thought were sees. Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, Louis Anderson, what a great comedic actor. He
Speaker 1: was stupid se list. Brooke Burke is not a se list.
Speaker 1: These names are ridiculous. There's some really good Billy Ray Cyrus. No.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: They're using a lot of old Baywatch people like Donna
Speaker 1: Derricko and Erica Olenniakoh. I did a movie but they
Speaker 1: never got made, never aired. Sexy Girl. Oh Steve Harvey,
Speaker 1: he's a seedless sure he is. Yeah, Steve Harvey. This
Speaker 1: did not age well at all. But I'm on there
Speaker 1: right next to my buddy Adam Carolla, so that obviously
Speaker 1: he did not age right at all. But Eric Roberts
Speaker 1: has made about five hundred movies.
Speaker 2: Ryan Seacrest sealst This is so stupid.
Speaker 1: It's also the same issue where they gave out dubious
Speaker 1: achieve awards and I got Rookie of the Year because
Speaker 1: of the New York Magazine profile in which they they
Speaker 1: pulled a quote from my book in which I said,
Speaker 1: when my when I see a girl, I really want
Speaker 1: to fuck my asshole. Pucker's a little bit. It was
Speaker 1: a throwaway joke to a writer, ended up in her
Speaker 1: story and caused me a lot of grief.
Speaker 2: But that got me the Rookie of the Year. Do
Speaker 2: be his Achievement award. I like it good.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, guys, something I find very
Speaker 1: endearing and and and just god, there's something amazing about
Speaker 1: manifesting things and and and I always did that with
Speaker 1: my life. I always said who I was going to be,
Speaker 1: who I wanted to be, where I wanted to go.
Speaker 1: And when I tell you, everything I've wanted in life,
Speaker 1: every person I've wanted in life has come true. I
Speaker 1: don't miss out. I always get what I want, you know,
Speaker 1: either through luck or through hard work. But in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty seven, Okay, Pete Hamill, as he was wont to do,
Speaker 1: wrote for New York Magazine a story called the New
Speaker 1: York City We've Lost, And that's right up his aute.
Speaker 1: Because he grew up in New York. He knows all
Speaker 1: about the old days, and he's perfect to write about
Speaker 1: New York. And I'll just read the beginning of this
Speaker 1: story because his writing is just beautiful. Once there was
Speaker 1: another city here, and now it is gone. There are
Speaker 1: almost no traces of it anymore. But millions of us
Speaker 1: know it existed because we lived in it, the Lost
Speaker 1: City of New York. It was a city, as John
Speaker 1: chiev once wrote, that was still filled with a river
Speaker 1: light when you heard the Benny Goodman cort TETs from
Speaker 1: a radio in the corner stationery store, and when almost
Speaker 1: everybody were a hat.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: In the city, the taxi camps were called checkers, with
Speaker 1: ample room for your legs, and the drivers knew where
Speaker 1: Grand Central Station was and always helped with your luggage.
Speaker 1: In that city, there were apartments with three bedrooms and
Speaker 1: views of the river. You hurried across the street with
Speaker 1: your girl was waiting for you under the biltmore clock
Speaker 1: with snow melting in her hair. Cars never double part.
Speaker 1: Shop doors weren't locked in the daytime. Bus drivers still
Speaker 1: made change all over town. Cops walked the beat, and
Speaker 1: everyone knew their names. In that setting, it did not
Speaker 1: smoke on the subway. You wore galotches in the rain.
Speaker 1: Waitress has called you, honey. You slept with windows open
Speaker 1: on a summer night. And I'll just read a little
Speaker 1: bit more. That New York is gone, now, hammered into
Speaker 1: dust by time, progress, accident, and greed. Yet most of
Speaker 1: us distrust the memory of how we lived here not
Speaker 1: so very long ago. Nostalgia is a treacherous emotion, at
Speaker 1: once a curse against the present and an admission of
Speaker 1: permanent resentment, never to be wholly trusted. For many of us,
Speaker 1: looking back is simply too painful. We must confront the
Speaker 1: unanswerable question on how we let it all happen, How
Speaker 1: the lost city was lost, And so most of us
Speaker 1: have trained ourselves to forget. It's a beautiful story. It's
Speaker 1: called the New York We've lost. It must be online somewhere,
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: This is nineteen eighty seven. Guys.
Speaker 1: Now, I didn't work at Daily News in nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 1: five years later. But in nineteen eighty seven, I sent
Speaker 1: this story I xeroxet and sent it to my aunt
Speaker 1: Anna in Brooklyn. We had a love affair with writing
Speaker 1: letters to each other, which I didn't have with other ants,
Speaker 1: but in Anna loved to write and love my writing,
Speaker 1: and I'd send her things in the mail and she'd
Speaker 1: write me back and listen to this.
Speaker 2: I sent to that.
Speaker 1: Article January twenty fourth, nineteen eighty seven. Dear and Anna, No,
Speaker 1: I didn't write this story. Maybe someday I'll be as
Speaker 1: great as Pete Hamil, But I'm sending it to you
Speaker 1: since I know you love to see it, and I
Speaker 1: know you lived a lot of those things out when
Speaker 1: you and New York were younger.
Speaker 2: It's great, so you love you, see you soon.
Speaker 1: PS wouldn't be amazing if I got to work with
Speaker 1: Pete Hamil day, that would be a dream come true.
Speaker 2: She writes back a long letter that I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: read to you it's too long, and that it was
Speaker 2: very verbose. I'm a beautiful writer, but.
Speaker 1: She was adamant in telling me you will work with
Speaker 1: Pete Hamble because you manifest it you say it out loud.
Speaker 1: If you say it out loud and you believe it,
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. You have to get it out to
Speaker 1: the world. Don't say bad things, don't say bad luck things.
Speaker 1: Say good things, good luck things. You want, things you're
Speaker 1: going after, things, are striving for things that'll make your
Speaker 1: life better. You'll get them because you manifested and you
Speaker 1: put it out there and it comes back to you.
Speaker 1: So could you imagine when the rumor that Pete Hamil
Speaker 1: was going to take over the Daily News and I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there, I'm almost crying that I'm gonna work with
Speaker 1: my idol, I'm gonna be in editor meetings with him
Speaker 1: and have private time with him. And it was just
Speaker 1: too much to bear. And of course he ended up
Speaker 1: telling me either your design or or fired. But it's
Speaker 1: all water under the bridge now. He told me, you'll
Speaker 1: always write. Your words will all matter. It may not
Speaker 1: be in another newspaper, but you'll always write because you're
Speaker 1: a good writer. But he said to me, newspapers will
Speaker 1: always break your heart. I've been written, I've written for
Speaker 1: six of them and all have broken my heart. So
Speaker 1: maybe your future is not newspaper writing. But another kind
Speaker 1: of writing. So look, it's all too beautiful and too
Speaker 1: mixed up. And what a beautiful recipe for things you
Speaker 1: dream for, things you wish for, and how it all
Speaker 1: comes together with the right amount of confidence and manifestation
Speaker 1: is that word again?
Speaker 2: And luck and preparedness and being ready to be lucky.
Speaker 2: That's very important.
Speaker 1: And I'm lucky to have you guys, and I appreciate
Speaker 1: you understanding my being ill yesterday.
Speaker 2: Busy week, I did four shows today.
Speaker 1: I'm getting kind of beat the Yankee start in one
Speaker 1: hour and that's where I'll lose the rest of my
Speaker 1: voice should they begin to lose that game as well.
Speaker 2: But that's it for today.
Speaker 1: Gang, I'm aj Ben was your daily Unfiltered podcast for October.
Speaker 1: I don't know either seventh or eighth, but I'll be
Speaker 1: here all week. I'll talk to this tomorrow
