Speaker 1: From Workhouse Connect and aj Benza fame. Uh, he'd liked
Speaker 1: to be walked on a leash and play really dirty,
Speaker 1: kinky sex games. He's the guy put the cock in
Speaker 1: the peacock network. Okay, bitch, hey, everybody aj Ben's are
Speaker 1: here with fame, is it? Bitch? This is your daily
Speaker 1: Unfiltered podcast for February nineteenth, twenty twenty six. Oh two
Speaker 1: one nine, two two six. Got the one odd number
Speaker 1: in there? Well, two odd numbers one and nine? How
Speaker 1: crazy about them? The equal ten? That's good? But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like a one and nine too sloppy, too
Speaker 1: far apart. It's like double wooden and bowling. If you can,
Speaker 1: if you follow my lead, I'm still out of breath. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I still sometimes wake up and sit at the edge
Speaker 1: of my bed thinking about the steps upstairs and the
Speaker 1: second flight to the kitchen and third flight to the
Speaker 1: upstairs bathroom. And I've for two weeks I've had to
Speaker 1: psych myself up to do that. That's awful. But I
Speaker 1: remember when I went to the urgent care. I got
Speaker 1: up from the doctor's like, you know, the fluffy chair
Speaker 1: you sit in, put the paper on it, you know,
Speaker 1: sitting in a smaller chair. I almost fell into the seat.
Speaker 1: My legs almost stopped working. The hell's going on? And
Speaker 1: by the way, can we can we start a petition?
Speaker 1: Can we stop with the child resistant medications over the counter.
Speaker 1: I know that's important to not have children go through medications,
Speaker 1: but can we not make them adult proof? Who the
Speaker 1: fuck is opening these packages? Now? What kind of nails
Speaker 1: do I have to have? I reserved one ar long
Speaker 1: nail my right thumb in case I have to open
Speaker 1: pills for the night. Quill who knows, Sue? If fair anything,
Speaker 1: it's it's adult proof. And you gotta turn a light
Speaker 1: on on top of that, so you gotta get out
Speaker 1: of bed, turn a light on. Now your eyes are
Speaker 1: waking up. Had to get new gummies today because I
Speaker 1: have to change my flight. See here's the deal. I
Speaker 1: was trying to get a flight this week. Normally, whenever
Speaker 1: I fly in Chicago back, whenever I go, I get
Speaker 1: one ways going and coming, and I never do it,
Speaker 1: but never I never have a stop. It's always a
Speaker 1: NonStop one way this week the next two weeks, every
Speaker 1: ticket is like six hundred dollars five point fifty to start.
Speaker 1: Then you got to pick your seat for another twenty
Speaker 1: five dollars, put your luggage in for sixty dollars, and
Speaker 1: then it's gonna come to an eight hundred dollars trip
Speaker 1: can including the the Ober. It's ridiculous. So I said, oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta wait. I gotta wait till March fourth, and
Speaker 1: it goes down to three hundred dollars again. So that's
Speaker 1: what I did. Now I'm leaving March fourth. Nothing to
Speaker 1: do here but gain my strength, take care of ron
Speaker 1: Jack whatever they need. But for the last two weeks,
Speaker 1: like I said, I was the one who was being
Speaker 1: taken care of, not Rosalie, not Jack. I mean here
Speaker 1: and there. Yeah, but Rosalie really held it together because
Speaker 1: I could not do shit. That's just, that's just. I
Speaker 1: can't understand why this flu is that bad. Everybody's talking
Speaker 1: about how long they stayed in bed. I don't like
Speaker 1: this shit. The older I get, you get these well,
Speaker 1: why can't they just be flus? Why is it gonna
Speaker 1: be a health scare? You start hearing doctors talk to
Speaker 1: you in a way that they in a way that
Speaker 1: a mechanic talks about a car that spent enough time
Speaker 1: on the road, like well, you know you don't want
Speaker 1: to put any more money into this one. It's I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm one of those cars. Well, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get four thousand dollars for the car you want twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred for a new transmission. I mean person that
Speaker 1: wouldn't put any more money into it. I think that's
Speaker 1: what I am right now. I think I'm an old
Speaker 1: car that people would decide, well, do we put more
Speaker 1: money into that? I don't know. I've already told you.
Speaker 1: I have those images now, those things whenever I buy
Speaker 1: something that, I look at it and go, are these
Speaker 1: going to be the last boots I buy? Probably I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna buy two pair of boots in the next
Speaker 1: ten twelve years. These are my last boots. I'll probably
Speaker 1: get two more sneakers, three more sneakers. I'm starting to
Speaker 1: count it up now. I get it. If you can
Speaker 1: start to see the end, Like, all right, let me
Speaker 1: just tidy up a few areas here, Okay. I'll make
Speaker 1: it easy for you guys. When I go, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what I want to do, and I have to
Speaker 1: find time to do it. I really want to write
Speaker 1: a show and I want to broadcast in my voice
Speaker 1: obviously a day or two after I'm dead. I want
Speaker 1: to give Mike a show and say, do not open this,
Speaker 1: do not read it until the unfortunate demise of myself,
Speaker 1: at which point please read it the next few days
Speaker 1: as the final podcast of my career. I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I swear to God, be crazy,
Speaker 1: be fun, and no one's done it yet. I'd be
Speaker 1: the first anyhow. Look, I gotta tell you, speaking of death,
Speaker 1: not not enough has been said about the great Robert Duval,
Speaker 1: whether he was Boo Radley and To Kill a mocking
Speaker 1: Bird where he makes God so many emotion emotional choices
Speaker 1: with just his eyes and his no voice, just his
Speaker 1: eyes and his face and man, whether he was Boo
Speaker 1: Radley or the great Santini which were on My Father
Speaker 1: for sure, or the Shirtless Colonel and Apocalypse Now or
Speaker 1: is Tom Egan for Coleoni Family Dog at Consigniety. I'm
Speaker 1: so glad. I decided to watch Apocalypse Now the other
Speaker 1: night on TMC about three weeks ago. It was on
Speaker 1: and I got to see Robert Devald deliver his I
Speaker 1: Love the smell of nap Palm in the morning or
Speaker 1: a great line eleven minutes on screen Best Supporting Act denomination.
Speaker 1: It really mattered. Those eleven minutes were everything. But my
Speaker 1: favorite of as many classic lines, and Duval had a
Speaker 1: bunch of them, Remember Tender Mercies. He had so many
Speaker 1: sweet movies like that. But the one he delivers in
Speaker 1: Godfather at the expense of the studio head Jack Wolf's, Obviously,
Speaker 1: that's kinna be my favorite. Those of you who haven't
Speaker 1: seen Godfather yet, I'm discussed at you. I'm discussed that
Speaker 1: the sight he is, you gotta see it. But in
Speaker 1: case I haven't, some of you youngsters, Tom's in California
Speaker 1: had Wolf's International Pictures. It's a film studio. Jack Wolf's
Speaker 1: played by John Marley, is the head and he refused
Speaker 1: to grant a small favorite to Tom Hagen. Now Hagen
Speaker 1: represented Don Coleon Malon Brando, the godfather of the singer
Speaker 1: entertainer and god so Johnny Fontaine played by the Great
Speaker 1: Al Martino. He requested the Godfather's assistance for acquiring a
Speaker 1: movie role that would revitalize his career. This is Frank
Speaker 1: Sinatra and From Here to Eternity based on that, and
Speaker 1: it's based on Ava Gardener going to the studio head
Speaker 1: and promising that if you give Frank that part, he'll
Speaker 1: do his best. He'll will you sell Oscars. And she
Speaker 1: got it to happen, and Frank won his Oscar. But
Speaker 1: Jack Wills refused to cast Johnny Fontaine when instructed, he
Speaker 1: was told, give Johnny Fontaine the part in that new
Speaker 1: war film you starting next week. But you realize that
Speaker 1: Hagen represented Corleone, and he foolishly said to him, you're
Speaker 1: trying to muscle me. Now you listen to me, you
Speaker 1: smooth talking son of a bitch. Let me lay it
Speaker 1: on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is.
Speaker 1: Johnny Fontaine will never get that movie. I don't care
Speaker 1: how many Daego, Guinea Wap grease Ball goombas come out
Speaker 1: of the woodwork. I'm German, Irish. Well, let me tell
Speaker 1: you to my krout mick friend, I'm gonna make so
Speaker 1: much trouble for you. You will know what hits you next time.
Speaker 1: They meet there at Waltz's big, fancy, luxurious house having
Speaker 1: your meal and Waltz explains his reasoning of now that
Speaker 1: he knows that Tom was representing Don Corleone, he said,
Speaker 1: just tell Corleone. He should ask me anything else, but
Speaker 1: this is one favorite I cannot give him. You don't
Speaker 1: understand Johnny Fontaine never gets that movie. That part is perfect.
Speaker 1: Fan that'll make him a big star. I'm gonna run
Speaker 1: him out of the business. And let me tell you why.
Speaker 1: Johnny Fontaine ruined one of Walt's International's most valuable protegees.
Speaker 1: For five years, we had to run out training, singing lessons,
Speaker 1: acting lessons, dancing lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars on her. I was gonna make her a big star,
Speaker 1: and let me be even more frank, just to show
Speaker 1: you that I'm not a hard hearted man. That's not
Speaker 1: all dollars and cents. She was beautiful, she was young,
Speaker 1: she was innocent. She was the greatest piece of ass
Speaker 1: I've ever had, and I've had him all over the world.
Speaker 1: And then Johnny Fontaine comes along with his olive oil
Speaker 1: voice and his guinea charm, and she runs off of them.
Speaker 1: She threw it all away just to make me look ridiculous,
Speaker 1: And a man in my position can't afford to be
Speaker 1: made to look ridiculous. Now, you get the hell out
Speaker 1: of here. And if that goomba tries any rough stuff,
Speaker 1: you tell him, I ain't no band leader. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: heard that story. So Tom Hagen is eating his meal
Speaker 1: very calmly throughout this guy's tirade, quickly takes the napkin
Speaker 1: off his shirt and says he's taking an immediate trip
Speaker 1: back to the airport to return eas thank you for
Speaker 1: the dinner and a very pleasant evening. If your car
Speaker 1: could take me to the airport. Mister Kolooney is a
Speaker 1: man who insists on hearing bad news immediately. God damn it,
Speaker 1: what a movie? What a scene? What work? And you
Speaker 1: forget maybe the best thing Tom Hagen or Rod Rob
Speaker 1: Robert Duvald did that whole MOVI You the Godfather was
Speaker 1: in scenes with Brando. He very often had boards of
Speaker 1: paper on his chest and lap of Brando's lines. Brando
Speaker 1: used Hagen's u use the Duval's body as something to
Speaker 1: hang his lines on. He was terrible at memorizing lines,
Speaker 1: and uh, there's pictures of it to prove it. So
Speaker 1: what an actor? What an actor? One of the most
Speaker 1: understated guys who did things under the radar. Didn't always
Speaker 1: have to yell, but when he did yell, it was scary.
Speaker 1: He saved it for the right times. Speaking of uh, well,
Speaker 1: I'll be speaking of death a little bit. I mean,
Speaker 1: Jack Watts wasn't killed, but they did put that big
Speaker 1: horse's head in his bed the next morning. It's a
Speaker 1: real horse's head. Came from a company that would butcher
Speaker 1: horses after they were dead killed. What have you broken legs?
Speaker 1: That's a real horse's head in bed with Jack Woltz.
Speaker 1: So the authorities now in this Nancy Guthrie thing, they
Speaker 1: I'm sick of putting the news on and hearing new details.
Speaker 1: This is an alert new details surrounding the Nancy Guthrie.
Speaker 1: There's no new details. Well, that one new detail was
Speaker 1: a couple of cops pulled their car into a neighbor's
Speaker 1: house next door for ten to twelve minutes and then
Speaker 1: left the parking lot. What's that about? Is that big news?
Speaker 1: They moved their car. The authorities are looking like crazy
Speaker 1: for this woman, but they found a new clue in
Speaker 1: this doorbell camera footage of her alleged abductor. You look
Speaker 1: at this picture. Pima County Sheriff Chris Natos is telling
Speaker 1: people that the security eclipse may have revealed a pinky
Speaker 1: ring on the kidnapper's hand beneath their glove. I look
Speaker 1: at the same photo you look at of this person
Speaker 1: tampering with Guthrie's camera, and I get it. I see it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to my team. They'll look at it,
Speaker 1: they'll analyze it, and we'll see maybe it is a ring.
Speaker 1: And if it is a ring, he's never gonna wear
Speaker 1: it again because she made a comment that it was
Speaker 1: a pinky ring. Now that piggy re being thrown the garbage,
Speaker 1: he'll never wear that fucking thing again. So you blew
Speaker 1: that one too. You blew it, Harvey want Horvey. Levin's
Speaker 1: gotta shut the fuck up and stop acting like he's
Speaker 1: got a big piece of the pie in this disappearance.
Speaker 1: He wants to make it all his own story, and
Speaker 1: he's I'm telling you, it's gonna come a point if
Speaker 1: it hasn't already, where the Sheriff's department or the FBI
Speaker 1: or the DJ what have you is gonna come down
Speaker 1: on Levin saying would you butt out? What't needs you here?
Speaker 1: You're talking over all of us. But this whole thing,
Speaker 1: I'm giving it to my team, this picture of a
Speaker 1: pinky ring, a big major blow to the case. They
Speaker 1: discovered that glove matching the one the suspect war they
Speaker 1: founded two miles from her home, and the DNA did
Speaker 1: not match the records and the FBI's combined DNA index
Speaker 1: system the code is database. The glove was tested in Florida,
Speaker 1: retested in Arizona, no hits either time, and Nano shared
Speaker 1: this disappointing news on Twitter, claiming that the DNA at
Speaker 1: the property is being analyzed and further testing needs to
Speaker 1: be done as part of the investigation. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I don't like them were being kept abreast
Speaker 1: of every second of this story. I think there's too
Speaker 1: much for the people who did this crime to hear.
Speaker 1: I think we're giving them too much, We're making them
Speaker 1: too important. At this point, I think we can figure
Speaker 1: that we're probably not looking for a healthy Nancy Guthrie.
Speaker 1: I would imagine at this point she's passed. I think,
Speaker 1: but that DNA that they does not belong to anyone
Speaker 1: close to Nancy Guthrie. So three weeks in, and let's
Speaker 1: face it, the FBI they got nothing, nothing. We saw
Speaker 1: her kids, Savannah and Anna Guthrie and Cameron Gunthrie have
Speaker 1: all been clear to suspects as of earlier this week.
Speaker 1: Prior to that, they were looking at everyone. Theyve all
Speaker 1: the kids have appealed to their mother's alleged captor. They
Speaker 1: made these emotional videos since her disappearance. Those things never work. Sadly,
Speaker 1: I don't know, while we have to see someone do it,
Speaker 1: while we have to watch them go through that pain publicly,
Speaker 1: it very rarely becomes the thing that defines the whole case.
Speaker 1: Even Nancy's kids have all appealed to their mother's captor
Speaker 1: in these emotional videos, but again they don't work. And
Speaker 1: then she said, Savannah said, it's never too late to
Speaker 1: do the right thing. We believe in the essential goodness
Speaker 1: of every human being. See, that's your mistake, that's your mistake.
Speaker 1: I know that's probably church taught and you grew up
Speaker 1: that way. You grew up thinking that that's the way
Speaker 1: to be. And I'm not saying it's the wrong way
Speaker 1: to be, but it's somethinly not the way to be
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with people who capture your mother and
Speaker 1: are not playing the game the way normal kidnappers play
Speaker 1: the game. But to believe in the essential goodness of
Speaker 1: every human being during a crisis like this. I think
Speaker 1: you're wasting your time, just like Erica Kurt did by
Speaker 1: forgiving the guy that shot Trump. Don't forgive that bastard.
Speaker 1: Why why? Everybody in Savannah Guphy's life fear is that
Speaker 1: some mother's gone very disturbing and Savannah herself looks like
Speaker 1: the light has gone out of her eyes. How could
Speaker 1: she even cope with this hanging over your head. It's
Speaker 1: one thing if you lose a parent, to not know
Speaker 1: where they are, if they're alive or not, if they're
Speaker 1: suffering or not. It's horrible. It's hell on earth. She
Speaker 1: looks like she's been devastated, rightfully so. But they got
Speaker 1: nothing safe to say at this point. They got nothing
Speaker 1: of a kidnapping of one of our most popular journalists
Speaker 1: on TV who was a sixty million dollar income. On
Speaker 1: that income or a total amount of money sixty mili.
Speaker 1: Still can't believe they don't throw more money in that
Speaker 1: on not a reward list. I can't believe it's staying
Speaker 1: so low. What are we talking about here? You want
Speaker 1: your mother back? Raise the ante man, raise it up.
Speaker 1: Let's raise the pice of poker unless the authorities have
Speaker 1: proof of life. I'm guessing she's dead. Some parts of
Speaker 1: me think the kidnapping was well planned, but the fact
Speaker 1: that the victim was very frail more or less change
Speaker 1: the outcome, and now they don't know what the hell
Speaker 1: to do. I think she probably died right after the
Speaker 1: kidnapping because of her medical conditions and lack of medicine.
Speaker 1: And they tried to get a move on with the
Speaker 1: funding and it failed because they couldn't provide proof of life.
Speaker 1: So her body may ever be found. Because the area
Speaker 1: surrounding the kidnapping that's a vast and isolated area. I
Speaker 1: would imagine her body is most likely buried somewhere in
Speaker 1: the desert and maybe a couple of carders a low
Speaker 1: attorney at some point. But I don't think we'll see it.
Speaker 1: And if you look at the video, the guy that
Speaker 1: doesn't really seem that it was a perfect plan or
Speaker 1: well executed. If you look at the way he moves around,
Speaker 1: you know, I still say it's probably a robbery by
Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant that she knew or had something to
Speaker 1: do with, maybe an uber driver or food delivery landscape
Speaker 1: or what have you. I don't know. I think she
Speaker 1: was alive, and they took her out of the house.
Speaker 1: The blood trail tells me that, and they dumped the
Speaker 1: body on the way to the border to avoid a
Speaker 1: murder rep And you know, I don't know. The blood
Speaker 1: trail doesn't necessarily mean that she died from injuries. But
Speaker 1: you know, I take blood, Dennis, I get a cut
Speaker 1: on my shin. You gotta see how fast my socks
Speaker 1: get red, so she could be un blood in and
Speaker 1: she probably isn't her age. I'd say for any cops
Speaker 1: out there, look for abandoned cars wherever there isn't any
Speaker 1: border wall or a road closed by Mexico closed by
Speaker 1: in Mexico where they can be picked up. I think
Speaker 1: their border in Arizona has about twenty percent of its
Speaker 1: border without a wall. And then their internet salutes have
Speaker 1: some ideas. Some internet salutes say the guy in the
Speaker 1: Doorboon footage was a decoy. They think he was brought
Speaker 1: in from Mexico to be a decoy. He never had
Speaker 1: any DNA of fingerprints taken in his life, and they
Speaker 1: had never had a relative who gave DNA to a
Speaker 1: genealogical website. He was given some items from Walmont to
Speaker 1: wear this was the force law enforcement to waste thousands
Speaker 1: of hours trying to identify him and track him down.
Speaker 1: He was rushed back into Mexico after showing himself to
Speaker 1: the doorbell camera, or he was planted by the Sheriff's
Speaker 1: department to have people believe they're on top of something.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but this twenty four to seven coverage
Speaker 1: of Nancy Gufrey's disappearance. I wonder how many people have
Speaker 1: heard how many millions of dollars this is costing taxpayers. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying cut it short, but at what point do
Speaker 1: we stop looking for a body and making it all
Speaker 1: about recovering about it? I don't know. And maybe more important,
Speaker 1: will the liberal, liberal leaning Savannahgraphy ever admit to open borders,
Speaker 1: ever admit open borders or defunded police with both gigantic stupid,
Speaker 1: fucking ideas? Will she one day say that the bottom
Speaker 1: line is this hope is what keeps the process alive
Speaker 1: while reality and passing time diminishes it. And right now
Speaker 1: reality and passing time is way ahead. Here's a new
Speaker 1: thing that stupid gen z women are doing on TikTok.
Speaker 1: They're shamelessly admitting to being the weekend lovers of men
Speaker 1: who will happily hook up with them but won't give
Speaker 1: them the time of day outside of Saturday night. I
Speaker 1: wrote a story like this for play, but I called
Speaker 1: A three a m girl because we're never kind to her.
Speaker 1: She may not be a ten, but she's certainly pretty
Speaker 1: enough and sexy enough to squire around. But there's something
Speaker 1: in our bodies that tells us she's not going to
Speaker 1: make the picture book. She's not going to make it
Speaker 1: in the frame. So what do we do? But this
Speaker 1: new TikTok trend is awful. Young women are posting these
Speaker 1: sad videos of themselves to the tune of Prince's Purple
Speaker 1: Rain as he sings I never wanted to be your
Speaker 1: weekend lover. And they're sharing these insulting texts from some
Speaker 1: guys they met, and they're posting photos of their hook
Speaker 1: up partners backs as they sleep. Others are showing themselves
Speaker 1: taking a walk of shame. Says well, on a weekend
Speaker 1: lover is all I've ever been to anyone, she says,
Speaker 1: forlornly into the camera, sitting in her pajamas. This is
Speaker 1: this is a very sad reflection on how young women
Speaker 1: feel today when it comes to relationship, you've got to
Speaker 1: listen up, guys. You can blame it on dating apps,
Speaker 1: which have turned people into fucking commodities, or convincement in
Speaker 1: particular that a better hottter potential partner is just one
Speaker 1: swipe away, So why settle? That's the way it is nowadays.
Speaker 1: There's plenty more fish to swipe left right. People just
Speaker 1: keep going. I've never used those those profiles, those apps,
Speaker 1: I would never I can't even imagine. But you look
Speaker 1: at social media, and they're encouraging women to just broadcast
Speaker 1: this whole thing about being someone's side piece like it's
Speaker 1: a fact of life and not a sign of what
Speaker 1: it really is, which is low self esteem. No one's
Speaker 1: making you do that. I thought I could make them
Speaker 1: like me, and I know that's how the girls in
Speaker 1: my comments feel. Sadly, I'm so insanely in love with you,
Speaker 1: but so I get this some even print with the
Speaker 1: guy wrote to them. One guy said, Sam, I'm so
Speaker 1: insanely in love with you, but thought of other people
Speaker 1: knowing makes me stupid embarrass Can you come up with
Speaker 1: tonight though? Oh go uh? You got these images of
Speaker 1: young women almost crying with these blase, boring texts and
Speaker 1: these unbothered expressions of guys who want very little to
Speaker 1: do with them outside of one big, nice rumble under
Speaker 1: the sheets on a Saturday night. In my day, plenty
Speaker 1: of girls wanted that too. Most of them were strippers,
Speaker 1: They had men, They had minds like men. Tomorrow was
Speaker 1: work where they can make several thousand dollars a night.
Speaker 1: Why take off and have a date with a guy,
Speaker 1: have a lobster or a steak and lose thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars in one night. So when you went out with
Speaker 1: a stripper, it was basically, whenever you're free, whenever you
Speaker 1: want to take an off, let's go out together. And
Speaker 1: it was very easy. But you know, these girls have
Speaker 1: been taught that casual sex is is perfectly fine with them,
Speaker 1: as though they're no different from the boys they're sleeping with.
Speaker 1: But that's not true. Girls, I mean, I can't believe
Speaker 1: I'm the one telling you this. You're learning the hard
Speaker 1: way that if you're somebody's weekend lover, that takes far
Speaker 1: more of a toll on you as a woman that
Speaker 1: I'm a man. A man doesn't care what happens on
Speaker 1: a Saturday night. He stops thinking about it immediately. But
Speaker 1: the dynamic, the situation that iamic is everything. You're somewhere
Speaker 1: between a hookup and a relationship. So this is common
Speaker 1: on college campuses, and apparently it's something that's eating away
Speaker 1: people look at twenty something years old. But this was
Speaker 1: called back in the day, a one night's stand. What
Speaker 1: is it called now? What's the difference? What am I missing?
Speaker 1: One TikToker said that her weekend lover blocks her phone
Speaker 1: number until the weekend, so we can see a green
Speaker 1: message bubble until Friday. That's the guy you can't sleep
Speaker 1: with ever again, you can't. Why are you voluntar terily
Speaker 1: advertising that you're someone's side piece. This next crop of women,
Speaker 1: this gen Z crop, I didn't think they'd be this stupid.
Speaker 1: I think they'd have more of a backbone. If you
Speaker 1: want a man to respect you, don't follow that trend.
Speaker 1: Don't follow the weekend love or trend. Tell him you
Speaker 1: busy can make it. I can see you Monday Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Gen Z women have been conditioned to overshare everything for
Speaker 1: just more clicks and likes on social media. But this
Speaker 1: is an embarrassing trend. Girls getting stuck in the murky
Speaker 1: findings of relationships that allowing themselves to be disrespected because
Speaker 1: they fear speaking up for themselves. They have no clue
Speaker 1: how to treat themselves to treat each other. And unlike
Speaker 1: other generations where the exceptions were the assholes, in this generation,
Speaker 1: the assholes are the norm and the theseel ones are
Speaker 1: the exceptions. I think we all agree on that because
Speaker 1: right now, men less likely to get emotional or seek
Speaker 1: educational support in school. I've seen young women in my
Speaker 1: life do very mean things to young guys, thinking it's
Speaker 1: only because it's okay, because young guys are just not valued.
Speaker 1: And when you got young girls pulling stunts like making
Speaker 1: false claims of rape because they're mad, or claiming to
Speaker 1: be pregnant when they're not, or to get money or marriage,
Speaker 1: you gotta wonder who is the real victim. Nowadays, life's
Speaker 1: not a soap opera. Too many people think of their
Speaker 1: lives that are not filled with drama over which they
Speaker 1: can expound online about, then they aren't really alive. But meanwhile,
Speaker 1: real relationships are given take like real friendships. I don't
Speaker 1: think many young people get that. They don't understand that
Speaker 1: dynamic but in my mind, the weekend lover a trend.
Speaker 1: This is kind of payback for every woman who divorces
Speaker 1: her loving husband to go find herself. Meanwhile, she destroys
Speaker 1: his life and their kids' lives in an effort to
Speaker 1: full herself. Then they make it worse by alienating the
Speaker 1: kids against the father. No legal ramifications, but guys, if
Speaker 1: you miss one child support payment, see where you end
Speaker 1: up in this fucking world. And I'll tell you why
Speaker 1: it's happening. This is because a certain group of people
Speaker 1: pushed the idea that women are better off without me commitment,
Speaker 1: marriage or children. This whole stupid ideology that women should
Speaker 1: just be single and lonely because they're the anti joy,
Speaker 1: the anti children party. It's getting really sad. I realize
Speaker 1: I'm old, but I look back to the eighties the
Speaker 1: nineties when I was dating out here and nurturing relationships.
Speaker 1: The women I knew had their own voice, they had
Speaker 1: their own self respect, especially chicks from New York. They
Speaker 1: were nobody's doormat. So I asked, you, is evolution going backwards?
Speaker 1: What the hell is happening right now? Don't get it,
Speaker 1: But I do like to say goodbye to another big
Speaker 1: name that many of you probably don't know. Billy Steinberg
Speaker 1: died at Brentwood Home long battle of cancer, seventy five
Speaker 1: years old. Most of you don't know the name, but
Speaker 1: if you sang Like a Virgin or True Colors or
Speaker 1: so many other songs that you know who Billy is
Speaker 1: because he wrote those songs, and once he started writing
Speaker 1: him it was nobody better. He first got a deal
Speaker 1: with my buddy Richard Perry at Richard Perry's Planet Records.
Speaker 1: They made an album, they toured, it went absolutely nowhere.
Speaker 1: The album didn't even get released. But then Linda Ronstad
Speaker 1: heard some of his demo demos in nineteen eighty. He
Speaker 1: wanted to make a song like My Sharona, couldn't quite
Speaker 1: get it done. But then other people started noticing his
Speaker 1: lyrics and he got them a point. The point was
Speaker 1: he wrote his partner gave it a melody people couldn't forget,
Speaker 1: and Billy Steinberg was on his way. And then eighty four
Speaker 1: he wrote like a Virgin. You know what happened to
Speaker 1: that song? Churches condemned a MTV played endlessly. Basically, it
Speaker 1: was about a second chance of the feeling. He wrote
Speaker 1: true Colors for Cindy Lauper. He wrote it for anyone
Speaker 1: who felt like they had to hide who they were,
Speaker 1: and Cindy's voice turned into something bigger than a song.
Speaker 1: It became a lifeline. It's still sung at pride events, weddings, funerals.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable he sang Eternal Flame. He wrote Eternal Flame for
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Coaul, ritten with Susanna Hoffs, loved that song,
Speaker 1: also wrote, I Touched Myself sang by the Divinyls, I
Speaker 1: stand by You for the Pretender's unbelievable song, I Drive
Speaker 1: All Night by Roy Orbison Cindy Lauper in eighty nine.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy just kept going. Demi the Vittals
Speaker 1: give you Heart to Break, JoJo's Too Little, Too Late,
Speaker 1: Nicole Scherzinggains, Don't hold your Breath, Celine Dion. The guy
Speaker 1: wrote for decades, multiple genres, countless artists, wasn't just a
Speaker 1: hit machine. And he's gone now. And I want to
Speaker 1: read the ending of this little bit that I find
Speaker 1: very a kid from the California vineyards who never made
Speaker 1: it as a Perfomer became one of history's most successful
Speaker 1: songwriters by doing one thing consistently telling the truth about
Speaker 1: feelings people carry but struggle to name. What do I
Speaker 1: always tell you guys about things that guys have in
Speaker 1: their chest that they can't talk about. Vulnerability, renewal, hope, longing, joy, love.
Speaker 1: Billy Steinberg gave those emotions words and then melodies that
Speaker 1: made them unforgettable. Today's Somewhere, a teenager is discovering true
Speaker 1: colors and realizing they're not alone. A couple of slow
Speaker 1: dancing to Eternal Flame. Someone heartbroken is finding solace in alone.
Speaker 1: Billy Steinberg's voice is silent, but billions of voices around
Speaker 1: the world are still singing his words. That's the songwriter's immortality,
Speaker 1: not fame, not fortune, connection, the knowledge that something he
Speaker 1: wrote helps someone else feel understood. Billy Steinberg spent fifty
Speaker 1: years creating that connection, and they will outlive us all
Speaker 1: here here, sure will. And as to every goddamn writer
Speaker 1: who does that part, it makes the songs understandable and
Speaker 1: they're living a bit easier. I'm aj Benza. That was
Speaker 1: your Daily Unfiltered podcast for February nineteenth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: We'll talk more tomorrow.
