And just so 18 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.640 you guys know, I am so on top of shit. 19 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:19.280 The biggest stories right now between p Diddy and RFK 20 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.239 and Olivia Nootci, the journalists from New York magew I 21 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:28.000 have personal information about all those stories. I was involved 22 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.040 with those stories. You don't want to miss it. So 23 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.480 tell you friends, tell you, tell grandma to go on 24 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.799 to purse, take out the fight ourar bill they owe 25 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.920 credit carture, don't use and go to patreon dot com. 26 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:45.319 Slash fame is a bitch. Anyhow, big story in LA 27 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.000 that's developing. This is big if you live in Los 28 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.159 Angeles and you're in the business. But a bunch of 29 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.239 pictures have gone missing. They're being called a private trove 30 00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.400 of polaroids. You know how polaroids are. They kind of 31 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.120 sex he kind of grows, but you can't not look 32 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:07.920 at them. A private trove of polaroid pictures showing some 33 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.360 of the world's most famous women in various states of 34 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:18.240 undress has gone missing. Remember that when happened several years back, 35 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:22.960 the fappening with all these women and the picks they 36 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:26.680 sent men and producers, many of which were sent to 37 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:32.080 Harvey Weinstein. Let me remind you from Jennifer Laurence Salamahayak, 38 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.280 a host of actresses looking to stay on someone's mind 39 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:40.759 or maybe even sending a nude or two or ten 40 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.879 to a boyfriend or a husband on the road, what 41 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:48.240 have you. They were hacked and a lot of those 42 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:54.280 pictures came out, and not surprisingly, many of them look 43 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.159 at night with no makeup on, in their beds like 44 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.879 all of us. Yeah, just regular people without the star treatment. 45 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.400 Still fun to look at that, if you can find it, 46 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.319 look up the fappening. You'll get some nudes if you want. 47 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.680 But they're very, very nervous right now, because this is 48 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.879 like the second coming, a lot of anxiety in La. 49 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.400 Right now, you've got pictures that aren't for public consumption 50 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.000 of everybody. From Jiji Hadid which I'd rather see a 51 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.400 playing card than a picture of her nude on a polaroid. 52 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:37.000 Kim Kardashian, I'll look at that. Gail King, No, no, 53 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:42.080 Martha Stewart, No, who the hell is she sending nudes to? 54 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:47.000 Kate Upton, I'm all there for it. Brittany Mahomes, I 55 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:51.479 don't care. Simone Biles, I don't want to see naked midgets. 56 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.879 Ali Raiseman, you're gone to Irina Shaikh? Sure. Emily Radikowski, 57 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.080 I think we've always seen her naked anyhow, Megan the Stallion, 58 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.280 I gotta tell you, I'm gonna be there for that one. 59 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.159 I'll sit in front of my terminal to see her naked. 60 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:15.240 Christy Briefley no older than me. No, Chrissy Teagan can't 61 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:20.920 stand there, Candy Apple face. But she's got a body, 62 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.120 Ashley Graham, No, not for me, way too overweight for me. 63 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.720 God bless you for looking beautiful with your one hundred 64 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.040 and eighty five pound body. But it's not for me. 65 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.519 She was in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, and all I 66 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.360 can tell you is when she jumped in the ocean, 67 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.279 it went up a couple inches, that's all. But there 68 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.279 are so many things missing. In fact, all these things 69 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:55.319 were missing because apparently people who appeared on the pages 70 00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:00.839 of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition are all possibly in 71 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:08.360 trouble because all those images have gone away. The magazine 72 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:12.120 couldn't control it because it won from one corporation to 73 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.920 the other, and the pictures are gone. Also, there are 74 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:20.120 thousands of dollars worth of swimsuit swimsuits that were loaned 75 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.959 by different brands, but who cares about that. We're talking 76 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.399 about naked pictures. There's a guy who owns five hour 77 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:36.480 Energy drink. He's a billionaire, Manoj Bargava. He took over 78 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:42.240 SI and the whole swimsuit issue back in twenty twenty three, 79 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.839 and he got all their equipment, cameras, lights, everything, and 80 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:53.759 the swimsuits and the cachet or the cash. I never 81 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.639 say that word right. If it's a bunch of things, 82 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.800 it's a cash whatever, A bunch of photographs. I'm sorry, 83 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.079 my throat's not great. I did three shows today, a 84 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.720 bunch of photographs that are known as sitting sheets. You 85 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:15.240 know what that is. Well, they're important for mostly recording 86 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.560 exactly what the model is wearing so that editors can 87 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.240 include that information in the magazine later on. But what 88 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:28.560 we've been told is Bargava moved everything into a New 89 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:33.800 York office in his New York City's headquarters. But then 90 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.720 his tenure at the helm of the magazine just blew up, 91 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.600 and after causing a big staff result because he fired 92 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.120 a bunch of star writers, and his relationship with the 93 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.920 parent company ended in a bunch of lawsuits. So now 94 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.240 a new company has taken over. They began in March, 95 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:59.040 but they lost all the pictures and stuff in this 96 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:05.600 corporate reshow. So a lot of staffers have asked him Hey, 97 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.279 what's going on with the photos? What are we doing? 98 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.959 They just kept quiet. So now it's been months since 99 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:20.199 Sports Illustrated heard from anybody, and there's a lot of 100 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:25.959 worry going around because they're not intended for publication these pictures. 101 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:31.600 But the people who post are very they feel very vulnerable. 102 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.079 Put it that way. You know, some of these pictures 103 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.839 include nipples that would normally be omitted when you go 104 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:41.600 to the final stages of a photograph there are may 105 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.920 be some parts of a woman's body hanging out that 106 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.319 wouldn't make it to print, But in polaroids, they're right 107 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:52.560 there for everybody to see. And you know, there are 108 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:54.439 people who will tell you if you're on a shoot 109 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.680 like that. The models will look at an all female 110 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.279 editorial staff and they feel very comfortable. Then when they 111 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.680 come to find out that some of their photos, which 112 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.680 might have some details they don't want floating around that there, 113 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.240 they don't know what to do. They have no idea 114 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.879 who the polaroids are. They don't even know if they're 115 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.600 in New York. They're frantic. It's not as bad as 116 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.040 the happening because that showed some well, there was some 117 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.879 sex scene, sex shots in there. And you know, two 118 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:32.120 people taking a picture of themselves on flagrant that's the phrase. Right, 119 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.879 this is a little different, but you know, you can 120 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.759 imagine these swimmer brands, many of which are small businesses. 121 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.639 They all want their their items back that they loan 122 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:51.360 for the shoot. But you can see the conversation, Hi, ladies, 123 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:56.360 are some bad news. Photos of you in swimsuits are missing, 124 00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.399 and they say, oh, big deal, We're all beautiful and 125 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.840 young cares that they've got photos and put them online. 126 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.960 It's great publicity. No, ladies, they were polaroids and not 127 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.759 photoshopped at all. And then you could hear a scream 128 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.399 from every one of those young women who don't want 129 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.720 us to see what they look like before they're touched up. 130 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:27.279 Uptown problems. Right, Well, I promised you i'd talk about 131 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:32.440 Connie Chung, the veteran newswoman that just wrote a book. 132 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.080 But I think haven't read it yet, but I think 133 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:40.840 from knowing enough about her, it's going to be quite fascinating. 134 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.879 Whenever people of this age write books about their time 135 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.679 in Hollywood or the news media or technology, you got 136 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.600 to grab them, you know, you really do. It's gonna 137 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.080 course you twenty bucks. But what you'll have is a 138 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.200 library of people that were involved in the world, and 139 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:04.720 they came up in a world and their fame was 140 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:10.639 wrapped around this tendency of women not being treated fairly, 141 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.399 women being hunted, women being abused. And I know it's 142 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:20.240 been slammed down our throat for years. It's been this 143 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.519 way ever since this podcast began seven years ago, and 144 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:29.240 change the me too movement was twenty seventeen, and it's 145 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:34.120 not going to go away completely. But when I read 146 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:38.320 about women who were in their heyday, top of their 147 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:45.320 beauty and intelligence in their thirties, let's say, in Hollywood, 148 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:49.320 in the news, in different types of businesses, you could 149 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.840 just imagine my first inkling is thinking of them running 150 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.360 around a desk and not wanting their boss to gram them. 151 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.200 I don't think I'm the only guy who thinks that way, 152 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.759 and those of us or fathers who have daughters, you 153 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.120 need to think in terms of that. Many times I've 154 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.600 made comments on this show that were anti female, etc. 155 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.120 But I didn't think of, well, what if that was 156 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.360 my daughter? And then suddenly you go back and go, now, 157 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.000 you shouldn't have said that, man, because you would never 158 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:23.919 want your daughter to be treated that way, would you. 159 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.440 So it takes some learning, it takes some discipline, and 160 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.679 it takes the ability to change one's mind. But I 161 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.039 would advise all of you whenever you hear or see 162 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.200 of somebody from the seventies, eighties, nineties writing a book 163 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.840 about their time in certain businesses, I would grab it 164 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:48.039 because they got stories to tell. And Connie Chung makes 165 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.559 a lot of jokes, and that's part of her charm, 166 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.320 that's part of her success. But she does admit to 167 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.440 drinking a lot and being body, which I love. I 168 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:03.200 love when women admit that they were not so, you know, 169 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.039 sitting on their chair with their hands crossed on their lap. 170 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.440 She talks about and I'm gonna read this on the road. 171 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:17.519 Recovering that nineteen seventy two presidential campaign, Connie tended to 172 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.320 retreat to her hotel room at night. She thought she 173 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.759 was being responsible by prepping for the next day. Then 174 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.399 she noticed the male reporters were getting scooped that she 175 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.000 was missing. So it dawned on her that they were 176 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.639 saucing up the campaign managers and they were getting the 177 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.600 good shit. So then she started to go down to 178 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.799 the bar at night. Just that statement alone needs everybody's 179 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:47.480 eyes to just open up. I mean, how hard is 180 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.519 it to go down to the bar at night in 181 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:51.720 a hotel If you're on the road and you're covering 182 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:55.720 a presidential election, it's part of your job. But if 183 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.279 you're a young woman in that in that era, it's 184 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.519 dice to say the least. But she went down there 185 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:09.879 and drinking and taking jokes helped her a lot, and 186 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.200 she was able to break into the boys club because 187 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:17.559 she said she just had to find a way. There's 188 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.759 a great way to learn to be a great reporter. 189 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.120 I don't recommend it by any means, but at the time, 190 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.039 I just had to find a way. That's a great 191 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:32.960 sentence because I've been there at those moments of decision 192 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.600 or crossroads, if I can use that term so broadly. 193 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:42.000 There are times when you go, okay, man, I gotta 194 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:46.639 do something here to really get the story. And there's 195 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.320 a certain way we act. There's a certain way reporters 196 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.240 can act that can get a story out of somebody. 197 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.200 I'm not going to divulge every serie, but there are 198 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:59.960 things we do, things we know how to do. Epathetic 199 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.399 asking why three times I've told you a few of 200 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.080 them some things I haven't told you, because I will eventually. 201 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.120 But the things we do as report is to get 202 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:14.240 the good shit out of people. If you think I 203 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.960 spend too much time trying to get all the clam 204 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.679 out of the half shell, you have no idea what 205 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.879 I'm like when next to a source and I dig 206 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:28.519 it all out, I chew on the shell. So in 207 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:32.600 her book, Connie writes about all the time she spent 208 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:36.639 covering news and her marriage to Mauri Pulvich, and all 209 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:40.559 the famous people she met who acted inappropriately with her, 210 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:47.080 including President Jimmy Kotta Karta. She said he pressed her 211 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:52.000 knee against hers, pressed his knee against her suggestively at 212 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:55.320 a black tied dinner. Yeah, that's the way it begins, 213 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:59.120 isn't it. Maybe your hand falls off your thigh and 214 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:04.159 touches her. Oh WHOA, just throw it out there, see 215 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:10.480 what happens. She said that Dan Rather had a shot too, 216 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.159 but Dan Rather didn't like her. And the fact that 217 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.480 I know Dan and I know him very well and 218 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.799 have gotten drunk with him and gone out with him 219 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:25.159 and for girl, you name it, I didn't take that 220 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:30.159 trip to Alaska to catch salmon at his brother in 221 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:34.039 law's ranch, but I know an awful lot about Dan 222 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:38.600 and she had a time with him. He didn't like her, 223 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.000 and she didn't really blame him because Dan Rather was 224 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:47.279 like the heir apparent of Walter Cronkite. And when she 225 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.000 was on the newscast with him, it meant that he 226 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.080 had to shift his chair a little bit, a few 227 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.840 inches over. And that's all it takes for these people 228 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.200 and the way they feel about their lives and their 229 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:06.639 attitudes and their personalities. You're making me move over four 230 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.519 inches with my share. And Connie thought, if she was 231 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:16.399 another man, you know, it may have worked. But she says, 232 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.919 Dan didn't want anyone to sit next to them, an animal, 233 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:24.519 a plant, nobody. And you have to remember, throughout her 234 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:30.480 career she was one of very few Asians who were 235 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.919 coming into our rooms every day. And then eventually she 236 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:39.600 realized the impact she had when somebody named Connie Wong 237 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.519 wrote to her telling her about a generation of immigrants 238 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:50.000 who named their baby girls Connie after her. Can you 239 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:57.919 imagine that she talks about the OJ Simpson trial. She 240 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:04.480 didn't like it at all, but Dan Rather didn't want 241 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:09.480 to touch it. And sixty minutes it was all guys 242 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.640 at the time, and they wouldn't touch it. They wanted 243 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.559 nothing to do with oj Simpson, if you can believe 244 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.319 that or not. And frankly Connie Chung didn't either. But 245 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.519 the management would come to her and say, look, Bobara 246 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.440 Walters is getting this. Diane soare is getting that. Katie 247 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:28.559 Krek is getting this. You gotta do something for the team. 248 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.160 She didn't want to. She didn't see the value in 249 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.599 it because she felt it was tabloid. But these are 250 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.640 things you you'd do. It's crazy thinking right back now 251 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.680 that courage and Sawyer and Walters wanted nothing to do 252 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.759 with it. And we think about these people that is 253 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.359 so amazing we speak about them and superlous. You didn't 254 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.960 want that story. You don't want the interview because what 255 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.599 he killed a woman who gives a fuck you sit 256 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:08.559 down with despots and dictators. Such bullshit. And you know, 257 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:15.079 Barbara Walters was tough to sidle up to put it 258 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.039 that way. That a lot in common, but Barbara was 259 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.480 definitely the pioneer and paved the way for many women 260 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:25.119 to come. And she was the breadwinner in her family 261 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.519 because when she was young, her father had night clubs 262 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:32.359 that didn't do well. Eventually, and she took care of 263 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:36.880 her mother and father, Barbara Walters, she supported them, and 264 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.319 she had a disabled sister you don't hear too much about. 265 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:43.839 And Connie Chong was the breadwinner in her family as well. 266 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:49.200 I mean from twenty five years old on. She provided 267 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.079 for her family, and she felt like her and Barbara 268 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.079 had a lot in common. They were both fired after 269 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:58.599 two years, They both adopted a child, They both married 270 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:03.000 nice Jewish boys. I mean Barbara Walters married two or 271 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:08.519 three more, but Connie felt a kinship with her. But 272 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.960 then her marriage to Maury Pulvich was something that was 273 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:14.359 really I think it was more in New York story 274 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.480 than a national story. But you know, Marie's a very 275 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.920 down to earth, realistic guy who show just fucking blew 276 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:29.839 up and talk about perfect timing. But they had a 277 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.880 great life and have a great life. And to this day, 278 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.160 she says when she sees a bed interview on TV, 279 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:40.160 she wants to throw a shoe at the set because 280 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:43.160 she knows the next question she would ask, and she 281 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:46.960 misses that. She misses that that people don't want to 282 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.240 dig deeper. They don't have the joy of going after 283 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:55.960 a story that's worthy and if you do it right, 284 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.000 you can change a government. You can do so much 285 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.039 much good if you ask the right questions. But keep 286 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.640 your eye on Connie Chung. Read her book. She talks about, 287 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:10.599 you know, when she was younger, and I told this 288 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.000 the other day on the show. She was a sight 289 00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:15.799 to see when she was young man and when she 290 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.720 got on the scene. You know, she talks about having 291 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:21.599 an affair with one of the guys in the Eagles. 292 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:23.759 I'm sure it's Don Henley, but I have no idea. 293 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:27.319 And Ryan O'Neill was after her. They had a fling. 294 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.359 Look at the picture of Connie Chung. She had it 295 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:36.319 going on for I mean, no doubt. But I got 296 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.839 to give it up to her because here's somebody you'd 297 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:43.680 never know. I mean, you look at her, you go, oh, 298 00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:47.480 you know, how much can she know? What does she work? 299 00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:52.359 Was she just hired because she's aged looking man. Her 300 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:55.599 parents had ten kids and she was the last one 301 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.240 and the only one born in America. They had nine 302 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:04.160 children in China, five of whom died when they were infants, 303 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:10.079 and three of those infants were boys. So this her 304 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:13.880 mother basically raised very ballsy women. And I got to 305 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:20.920 say that that's such an amazing feat, you know. And 306 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:24.559 her father was very accepting of what she wanted to do, 307 00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:28.920 which is not the way Chinese dads are. They want 308 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:32.480 their kids to do certain things. But when Connie said 309 00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:36.920 what she wanted to do in terms of journalism, he thought, 310 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.160 you know what, maybe you can carry on the Chung 311 00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:44.160 name and tell everybody how he came to America, because 312 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:47.240 that's what they did. He came with his four sisters 313 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:51.640 and his mother wanting one of his children to make 314 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:54.440 it in America. How great is that the last kid, 315 00:21:54.519 --> 00:22:00.359 the daughter made it. It's a great fucking story. Enough 316 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.880 about these things with all the shit going on now 317 00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:09.039 you talk about shit. We're talking about p Diddy constantly 318 00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:11.279 because that's the huge story. And if you want to 319 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.440 hear about my relationship or my knowledge of the New 320 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:19.200 York Magazine reporter Olivia Nutsie and use EAZYI and her 321 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:25.960 sexting situation with Robert Kennedy, go to patreon dot com 322 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.160 slash Fame as a Bitch or slash Politics is a Bit. 323 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:34.519 I talk about her a lot in both those shows, 324 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.759 and what kind of a friendship she and I had 325 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.240 with regard to her trying to get dirt on Trump 326 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:46.160 way back in twenty fifteen. It's worth the five bucks. 327 00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:49.920 Once you join in, you'll stick around, trust me, because 328 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:52.599 I am the Forrest Gump of these podcasts. I'm always 329 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:55.839 involved in stories that you wouldn't believe. And sure enough, 330 00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:58.480 I'm involved with the story of a man who I 331 00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:04.240 was enemies with dating the same girl who's become president 332 00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.319 now he's running again, and that there's a sexting situation 333 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:12.200 in his administration or almost administration with a reporter that 334 00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:16.720 I know. So listen to what I tell you. But 335 00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:23.559 here's the thing. This is why the media and the 336 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:28.119 police I would say, just don't get it right so 337 00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:31.119 many fucking time. But then again, if you hear the story, 338 00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:34.319 you'll go, well, how could they have known? So there's 339 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:38.799 a video that resurface that shows an ex porn star 340 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.880 I hate Say Starr, porn actor who got busted back 341 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:47.000 in twenty eighteen for shooting up one of Donald Trump's 342 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:51.119 Florida golf courses, and he told the cops his interrogation 343 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.000 during his interrogation that, by the way, I've been P 344 00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:59.640 Diddy's sex slave. This is twenty eighteen, guys, six years ago. 345 00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:05.519 The guy's name is Jonathan Audi odd I, and he's 346 00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:12.359 being grilled by Miami investigators in this unrelated case that 347 00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:16.519 came about a few days after Puffy Combs pleaded not 348 00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.799 guilty in New York to sex trafficking in this whole 349 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:23.359 Rico case. And this, you know, he's been accused of 350 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:27.759 running a criminal empire for more than a decade, threatening women, 351 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:32.359 forcing them to take part in drugged up sex shows 352 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:41.359 with male prostitutes. It's crazy. But his arrest comes after, well, 353 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.240 it comes years after. This guy Odie, who was a 354 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:51.200 former stripper and a porn actor. Where do men strip nowadays? 355 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.960 I'm just where do we go? There's no more chippendales. 356 00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:00.400 Where do they strip? I have no idea. So Odie's 357 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.480 a former stripper at a porn star and he's telling 358 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:08.119 cops I had sex with Puffy Combs and his ex 359 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.240 girlfriend and his girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
