They 22 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.480 got most steroids in them than Arnold Schwarzenegger from the eighties. 23 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:32.200 You need fruit and vegetables that tend to go bad 24 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:41.079 anyhow for smallsh tomato, plum, tomatoes, balsamic, extra virgin olive oil, 25 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.400 salt and pepper, some basil from the little potted plant 26 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.519 I got in front of the house the garden there. 27 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:55.040 Oh my goodness, cutlets over tomato, basil, balsamic and extra 28 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:59.640 virgin olivo. I can't. It's just it's heaven. It's like 29 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.519 I sometimes think of, like what if I have had 30 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:04.879 a little prisk what if things really? What if I 31 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.479 do something awful, I'll never have cutlets with tomatoes and 32 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.000 basil and vinegar and oil again.

It's 42 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.000 bigger than ABC telling the Hens on the View to 43 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.039 tone down the Trump rhetoric. 44 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:55.319 This is bigger. 45 00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.400 It's bigger than the tech Titans from Northern California to 46 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.080 DC and kissing the ring. This is bigger. ABC News 47 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:11.400 has fired their stupid jerk off veteran reporter or correspondent, 48 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.599 Terry Moran, because he went on that dumb social media 49 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:21.639 rant where he targeted President Trump and Trump's advisor Steven Miller, who, 50 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.400 for my money, might be the smartest person in politics 51 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.120 I've seen the last twenty years. Really, guy's brilliant. I'd 52 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.719 love to see anybody trying debate this kid. I say, kid, 53 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.599 he's a man, but to me, he's much younger, so 54 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.560 he's a kid. Went to the gym today. You know, 55 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.560 I got a membership with Rocco, but I also got 56 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.319 him his own membership in case he wants to go 57 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.800 if I'm not around.

And I was telling the guy 62 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.759 behind the count, oh, he's available to have his own. 63 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.520 I said, he, you don't need that. He said, strong kid, 64 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.960 it's an athlete. Take his father's ays. Don't worry about 65 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.199 a trainer. The guy didn't know what to do, and 66 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.319 I said that. I said, I don't mean it like that, 67 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:11.319 but I gotta go. 68 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.280 I gotta go. I can't take people. 69 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.920 I can't sometimes, like whenever I leave the house, at 70 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.399 times I feel like, am I ready? 71 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:23.240 Am I ready to deal with people? 72 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.720 Like? I went to the bank today right for some 73 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.199 stupid reason that I can't explain. There's plenty of money 74 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.759 in my account. But earlier, but I was in La, 75 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:37.000 I mean in Vegas. We did we sent a check 76 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.959 through the computer to the landlord, and for some reason 77 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.560 another check was like also got to them. And they 78 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.800 called me and said, mister Ben's, we have two checks. 79 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.560 You should I hold this till June. I said, yeah, 80 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.319 I suppose, so just hold it till June's rent. Okay, 81 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.040 thank you. I get a call today, mister BENSI there's 82 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.439 a stop payment. I said, I would never do that. 83 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.360 There's plenty of money in that account. 84 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:01.079 So I go to the bank. 85 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.519 I say, listen, I gotta send a bill pay to 86 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.560 my landlord, and I'm giving them. And I could tell 87 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.040 that women at the bank, by the way, all Central American, 88 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:13.879 didn't know what the fuck to do. I said, well, 89 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:15.839 I can do bill pit. Yeah, you can do it 90 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.439 on your phone, on your app. Okay, let me do 91 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.800 it in front of you. So here's the place I 92 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.360 have to send. If you did your account number, I 93 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.759 don't think I do. It didn't happen last month. My 94 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.879 wife did it, but I mean I was out of town. 95 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:33.560 But I called the landlord. They're like, no, you don't 96 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.000 need our account number. Just the point is, nobody knows nothing. 97 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.279 And the women I were talking to what them allan? 98 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:42.920 Don't ask me how I know. 99 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.639 Just feel bad for me that I know. 100 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.000 But here for twenty seven years, I know at every 101 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.079 bank and every doctor's office, and every cashier is our 102 00:05:54.959 --> 00:06:00.000 Armenian or Central American. And they all speak the same 103 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.959 and sound the same. The Armenians. 104 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.040 We better jewelry, but they're the same. They don't. 105 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.480 I remember being you. I keep I shouldn't keep talking this. 106 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.000 I remember going to banks and the bank would give 107 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.360 you your mother and father a set of dishes or 108 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.959 a toaster for opening up a new account. Remember Christmas accounts. 109 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.959 They knew your name when you walked in over unless 110 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.519 you live in a nice small town and the people 111 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.360 there are still red blooded Americans working behind the glass. 112 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.759 Maybe your bank doesn't even have bulletproof class that's that 113 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.680 would be amazing, but that doesn't exist here. 114 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.199 We got that in delicatessens and shock. 115 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.959 Its gross. And they know what you call these stores 116 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.399 out here? You know, they just I guess liquor stores 117 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:52.160 again in New York to bodegas, you get everything, fruits, vegetables, sodas, liquor, 118 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.040 whatever you want, sandwiches, cereal. You do all your shopping 119 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.000 there at like thirty percent of a higher rate, but 120 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.319 you get everything done. And it's always a Vietnamese or 121 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.000 a Chinese person sitting on a pail, you know, separating 122 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:10.040 beans from the string being thing. They just don't stop 123 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.360 working here. 124 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:14.399 There's three or four people that don't know what you're 125 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:14.879 talking about. 126 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.199 Ah, what need to do? Excuse me? What the melting pot? 127 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.399 With the melting pot? But I was in New York. 128 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.839 New York City was called the melting Pot, and I 129 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.040 gotta be honest, I loved it. I loved going out 130 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.920 and the people I met, the people I hung out with, 131 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.079 in drank with, and dance with and fell in love with, 132 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.360 were all from every part of the world. There wasn't 133 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.720 a muscle in my body that didn't like or or 134 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:53.120 had preconceived ideas about anybody else. Black, White, Egyptian, Vietnamese, Spanish, Pole. 135 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:54.040 It didn't matter. 136 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.319 The older I got, it changed. It's just different. Now 137 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.759 it's different. It's not as friendly as it used to be, 138 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.879 you know what I mean. We used to go out 139 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.800 and it kind of all felt the same. I'm gonna 140 00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.240 touch on that in a second, but I want to 141 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.120 talk about it's so great that Terry Moran was dumped 142 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.920 suspended by the network. 143 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:21.759 Not too many hours after. 144 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.279 He gave Steven Miller the bullshit and called him a 145 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.040 world class hater, and ABC News says, we're at the 146 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.720 end of our agreement with Terry Moran, and based on 147 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.320 his recent post, which was a clear violation of ABC News, 148 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.039 we've made the decision to not renew. Oh, I love it. 149 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.000 We hold all of our reporters to the highest standards 150 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.919 of object Let's not get carried away because you haven't 151 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.200 held up to that standard for years. But I remember 152 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.840 what I was the Daily News, and it came down to, 153 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.960 you know, Pete's gonna fire you. Pete Hamill, my oiler 154 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:59.399 in chief, my idol, who I assume was still a 155 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.559 fist fire and womanizing, hard drinker, because that's the guy 156 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:06.440 I wanted to be turned out. He was none of 157 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.080 those things. He sober, he was no longer throwing punches. 158 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.360 He was married to I think an Asian woman, and 159 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.440 he was very liberal. And he said, look, you know, 160 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.200 I can let you go because I could hire four 161 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.440 or five reporters and pay them what I'm paying you, 162 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.840 or you could change your beat. You could be my 163 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:31.240 guy in New York City that writes about all the 164 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:36.000 new immigrants coming into the city. This is nineteen ninety seven. 165 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.440 And I said, I don't think. I don't want to do. 166 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.440 That, Pete, I don't. That doesn't excite me. 167 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.399 You're talking about the new immigrant I mean, but that's 168 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.200 where he was way back then. 169 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:47.759 These things don't happen overnight. 170 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.399 It takes a few decades before it's like, holy shit, 171 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.799 this is the problem right about the new immigrants who 172 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.080 are really in the city. I don't think I want 173 00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.639 to do that, you know what I mean? It didn't 174 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.519 feel right, and here we are. 175 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:01.960 Sorry. 176 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.360 I lost my train and thought I had to run 177 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.399 to the kitchen because I actually had a pot of 178 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.559 water on to cook some pasta and made some pestal 179 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:11.320 the other day, and I wanted to have a quick 180 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.600 bowl of pesto. But it's getting too late, so I 181 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.720 shut the sole wolf. I wasn't thinking what I had 182 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:16.960 to do. 183 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.559 But you know, Pete Hamill wanted me to be that 184 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.440 guy that talked to the new immigrants, and I had 185 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.200 no desire to do that. But like I said, these 186 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.039 things start to become an issue way before you think it. 187 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.559 That was like an innocent thing he suggested I do. 188 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.320 But I knew that's not the way I am. I 189 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.799 don't want to sit down with Haitians in their kitchen 190 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.919 or check stands or whatever the new people were coming in. 191 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.840 I know. I said, I'd rather write about Pam Anderson's 192 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.679 new tits. He said, well, that's where we you know, 193 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.519 that's where we disagree. Well that was it. He's gone. 194 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.759 The News fired him six months after he got rid 195 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:02.080 of me. And unfortunately he's gone. Pete great man, great ride, 196 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.080 a great American. And I'm still talking about things like 197 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.879 pam Anson's new Tits. So I guess I win. But 198 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:13.639 ABC News making a big commotion, and I love when 199 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.799 he interviewed Trump, Trump said, looks, Stee, I gave you 200 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:16.200 a shot. 201 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:17.639 You know I didn't. I didn't thank. 202 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:18.960 I don't know who you are, but I gave you 203 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.600 a shot. You're doing very terribly. You're doing a very 204 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:25.120 bad job. My Trump isn't up the standards. I haven't 205 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:26.639 been doing it as much, so I got to get 206 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.840 back into it. But he told them, Steve, you're not 207 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.600 doing right. You're doing it wrong. Terry, I don't know 208 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:36.039 who you are. Now I'm not there. I gotta fix it. 209 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.200 Speaking the fixes yesterday, I mentioned a bunch of suicides 210 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.279 that occurred in that period in twenty eighteen where we 211 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.679 lost a lot of people, and I mentioned Paul Walker, 212 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.440 and some of you said, ay J, Paul Walker crashed 213 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.480 his car into a tree. He wasn't committing suicide. No. 214 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.840 I know that. I know exactly how he died. 215 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.600 And there's a theory out there that he might have 216 00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.440 done it on purpose, or the. 217 00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:59.120 Car was. 218 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:04.320 Messed with that kind of shit. I'm sure it wasn't 219 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.879 the case, but I do tell that story of the 220 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.279 one night I went out with him because for a 221 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:13.759 moment in time, we had the same manager, Stephen Fenton, 222 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:19.600 Steve Fenton, Corny Little. He's a good looking, decent looking guy, 223 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:23.000 blonde haired guy. Actually told me when he signed me, 224 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.759 I want to be in the aj Benza business. And 225 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.399 I said, well, business is shot right now. 226 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.240 Let's see if you can resurrect it. And he did 227 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:32.159 his part. 228 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.120 One night, we were driving through New York's through La 229 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.799 late one o'clock, two o'clock in the morning, coming back 230 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.240 from a movie shoot for some independent short film I did, and. 231 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:42.799 I was hungry. 232 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:44.480 I said, you might let me stop betting at one 233 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.799 of these donuts. It's one of those donut chains that's 234 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.120 here in La, you know. And it wasn't the best neighborhood. 235 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.200 It was Hollywood, but it was still like you know. 236 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.679 It was an armed security guard at the door and 237 00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.840 a few black guys going around us. I'm gonna get 238 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.200 get a glazed donut and a clo if he wants to, no, 239 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.480 I don't. I don't think we should up. What are 240 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.759 you talking about, Well, it just looks very dangerous, Steve. 241 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:07.759 It's a fucking donut shop. 242 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.440 What are you worry about what do you want? Hayes 243 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:10.960 a lot. What do you what if you want to get? 244 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.120 No? No. I think we set out here. He didn't want 245 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.919 to be there. He was dating the actress Yale O'Grady. 246 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:22.519 I mean Gale O'Grady, good looking woman. Anyhow, he also 247 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:25.320 represented Paul Walker, and one night he and me and 248 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.600 Paul Walker went out with Steve, and then Steve left 249 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.919 us after a while. He basically told me, this kid's 250 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:33.840 going to be a star, you know, take him out. 251 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:35.399 I couldn't like. 252 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:38.480 Looking back on it now, it seems ridiculous that I 253 00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.799 be the guy that you say, take this good looking 254 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.399 young actor out because he might be somebody one day. 255 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.360 But that's really what happened. 256 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.000 I went to d'antannas, which I might go to Wednesday 257 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.360 night with the great Alison Martino. 258 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.320 We've been talking about hanging out again. 259 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.600 She wants to really do something fun with all these 260 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:02.440 mysteries and scandals episodes he has on tape, in terms of, 261 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.399 you know, maybe getting a theater where we can show 262 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.320 some episodes, have a question and answer, you know, time 263 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.440 between me and her and other people with the audience. 264 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:15.480 I think it'd be great, and you have to go 265 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.919 to her page Vintage los Angeles on Facebook. Allison is 266 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:23.000 the curator, the greatest curator of all things Los Angeles. 267 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.919 But I'll let you know, well, hopefully i'll see her tonight, 268 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:34.000 being Wednesday night. But anyhow, I'm out with Paul, and 269 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:40.600 I'm at D'antani's, where i'll probably go tomorrow tonight. And actually, 270 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:44.440 what's his name? The Jarkroff ginger head from seventy show 271 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.879 comes around me, the guy who's in prison now. He 272 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.399 was like, hey, what's going on? Just being a Jarkroff 273 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:56.840 couldn't stand him. Then Danny Masterson and then Paul and 274 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.120 I hang it out waiting for waiting for a table, 275 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.080 and suddenly it's like a lot of noise behind me, 276 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:05.120 and I see his face light up. It's like three 277 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.399 girls who were looking very interested, very pretty girls in 278 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.679 our direction. And I thought, oh, well, I'm gonna show 279 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:16.279 this kid how it's done. No, they were not looking 280 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.240 at me. They wanted Paul. They fell in love with 281 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.720 his ocean blue eyes. But he did say that night 282 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.279 in terms of what he wanted to do in his career, 283 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:30.360 he said, look, I just want to play a copper 284 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.200 a guy that gets behind the wheel of a fast car, 285 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.399 and that's what his career became, fast and furious until 286 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.759 he fucking crashed his car into a tree. I just 287 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:43.240 wanted to address that because people thought I didn't realize 288 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.559 that maybe he committed suici. I don't mean it that way. 289 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.600 I mean it was a thing. People were throwing theories 290 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:55.480 out there and no. And I was talking about cars, 291 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.159 and I thought of, remember last week we talked about 292 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:02.840 people who named their houses that very interesting to say 293 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.200 the least, Like, oh, yes, remember when we looked at 294 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:09.480 the Phairmont, Like what, why didn't you what the fucking address? 295 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.200 You know? Evans house was Woodland but he lived on 296 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.360 Woodland Drive, so it wasn't a stretch. But some people 297 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.639 really have big names for their homes, which I'm not against. 298 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.120 But I was talking about naming cars, and I remember 299 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:28.279 when I got my sixty four Fleet would Cadillac painted 300 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:29.440 Caribbean blue? 301 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:30.120 Not painted? 302 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.360 He came that way, a paint color they no longer use, 303 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.799 just like my ninety three Lincoln Continent of that color's gone. 304 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.279 And it's a shame. Every fucking car looks the same nowadays. 305 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.799 So I had like six thousand dollars to my name, 306 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.120 and me and Chico, we just we just drove to 307 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.799 La We're at seven eleven and a fucking u hole 308 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.080 getting some gatorade of beef turkey or something. And this gypsy, 309 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:01.440 this older man, a gypsy Romanian type guy you see 310 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.000 in Los Angeles, steps out of his car. 311 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:08.319 Beautiful car. The interior is the looor blue and black. 312 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.119 The car you could raise a family of six in 313 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.920 the back seat. I'm like, God, this fucking amazing.

But if 332 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:06.680 I feel good in it, I'll buy it.

He made a sign 342 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.319 up that just said it's a sixty four. Because everybody 343 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:36.960 would get to a red light, what's the year? So 344 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.160 he just got holding up the sign with a stick 345 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.079 in his hand, it's a sixty four. It was so stupid. 346 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.119 But I called him a gypsy because he was like 347 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:47.759 a Romanian gypsy type. 348 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.079 Well, the reason why I knew I had to have 349 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:51.480 the car. 350 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.559 Was when I got in the car to test driving, 351 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:56.359 because I said, Chico, I'm gonna buy a car from 352 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.440 his fucking gypsy at seven to eleven, Chica, we just 353 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.160 got here to fuck these people up.

And it's I gotta 362 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.559 do it. It's done, It's done. You know all my 363 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:31.759 cars have that kind of feeling. And I'll get to 364 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:35.240 the love affair I had with my nineteen ninety six 365 00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:39.240 Mercedes five hundred sl which was a celebrity lease. 366 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.240 Back in the. 367 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:43.640 Day, because you know, my column was popping and I 368 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:45.839 was on TV a lot, and I met this guy 369 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.960 at a wedding. Actually I think it was Tico Torres's 370 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:53.119 wedding to Ava Hertzekova, who worked at Mercedes on the 371 00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:54.200 West side of Manhattan. 372 00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.079 And you know, you're looking for a celebrity lease. 373 00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:58.400 I know I did. He was talking about so I'm 374 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:01.440 looking for a car, yeah, you know, and he gave 375 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.119 me the car. It was gonna be given to the 376 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.319 New York Jets rookie name key Shawan Johnson, but he 377 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.960 said he's dropping too many passes and Mercedes doesn't want 378 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:12.680 to be associated with him. 379 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:15.480 John Johnson went on to have a. 380 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.119 Great NFL career, But it was me lucky at one point, 381 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:21.359 and they well, they didn't give me the car. 382 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:22.759 I paid four in a month. 383 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:25.799 On top of that, it was three fifty to garage 384 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.720 in Manhattan, so seven to fifty month I had my 385 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.799 Mercedes five hundred SL convertible hard top. The whole thing. 386 00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.079 It was classic. And I'll get to that when I 387 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.200 talk about sly Stone, who died the other day and 388 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.039 left a big hole in the music industry. 389 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:43.000 But before I get there, this whole thing with Simone. 390 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:44.680 You know, I'm gonna save Simone. 391 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.839 Bowles and Roley Gaines for tomorrow because it's so like, 392 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:51.279 it's just not where I want to go. Simone Bowles 393 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:56.119 is wrong in the way she spoke about transgenders coming 394 00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:58.920 into the sport and acting like it's not a big 395 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:02.079 deal and let's all, you know, virtue signaling. I'll get 396 00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:06.119 to that tomorrow. I'll talk about Jared Lado tomorrow too. 397 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.880 I know he's been weird lately. There's been stories about 398 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.519 women saying when I was young, he came after me. 399 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:13.759 He's very creepy and sneaky. 400 00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:17.480 Unit I've always heard that about him. 401 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:18.799
