Speaker 1: AJ Happy birthday, buddy.
Speaker 2: Thank you, buddy, Thank you pal. Sixty four years old.
Speaker 2: Never thought I hit that number. And now that I've
Speaker 2: hit it, I gotta get more. I mean, I got
Speaker 2: to keep going. But yeah, I feel like you know,
Speaker 2: when we were kids, when the Beatles sang when I'm
Speaker 2: sixty four, I love that song. So it's a cute song.
Speaker 2: I never imagined i'd be at that age. I just
Speaker 2: never thought i'd get that old.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, as a kid, maybe because you
Speaker 1: had no reference point or context, But as an adult,
Speaker 1: you thought, did you know?
Speaker 2: I thought I thought you'd die before sixty four. I
Speaker 2: thought I was gonna die forty. And I did my
Speaker 2: best too for a while. No, I lost so many
Speaker 2: huncles and aunts and my parents at relatively young ages.
Speaker 2: They were all in their fifties and early sixties. So
Speaker 2: I thought, okay, I'm you know, I'm not gonna make it.
Speaker 2: This must be in our jeens something. But and now
Speaker 2: I'm still going, still kick it all. I spent the
Speaker 2: day at the doctor yesterday because of a stupid nasal ship.
Speaker 2: My liver and kidneys are good, which shocked me. Shocked me,
Speaker 2: so I didn't want to me right, I know, I know.
Speaker 2: I even have the paperwork and it says liver kid
Speaker 2: look great, but you're slightly anemic. And my white blood
Speaker 2: cells it low. My blood red blood plate let's a low.
Speaker 2: It's like all this ship. So I gotta go back
Speaker 2: and get He gave me some stuff, be twelve shot
Speaker 2: and stuff to get on my feet is some sluggish
Speaker 2: and and then get some get some blood work to
Speaker 2: really well. I got some imaging, to be honest with you,
Speaker 2: because this dry coff I mean, I saw like I
Speaker 2: saw like them eighty so bad. I'm not a hypochondriac,
Speaker 2: but I hate that I have to, you know, pull
Speaker 2: out of shows now and then because I'm sick. It sucks.
Speaker 1: Uh, dude, are you running into people everywhere talking to
Speaker 1: you about peptides?
Speaker 2: Are you hearing that I take them? You do what
Speaker 2: you hate HCP one fifty five. I think it's called
Speaker 2: let me see. I got them on the internet. You
Speaker 2: know Rogan and all those people talking about him, and
Speaker 2: you know a lot of my doctor is a peptide
Speaker 2: expert too, and he said, you gotta be careful. A
Speaker 2: lot of those things are, you know, from China. I'm
Speaker 2: getting it wrong. It's not HCP, but it's I don't
Speaker 2: want to leave if I don't want to leave the mic,
Speaker 2: but I'll send it to you. I'll take you a
Speaker 2: picture of the bottle.
Speaker 1: How long have you been doing it?
Speaker 2: About seven months?
Speaker 1: And oh you have okay, yeah, you're injecting yourself.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no supplements, no no, no, I don't take
Speaker 2: I have no needles.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Oh, the needles is a whole different story. That's supposed
Speaker 2: to be great. But no, I'm just taking the supplements.
Speaker 2: You know. I for for a while, you know, I
Speaker 2: was always on some boxing for a long time, and
Speaker 2: then I started taking to peptides and I wasn't I
Speaker 2: didn't wake up with back pain as much. I stopped
Speaker 2: taking some box on for like seven months. Now, rarely
Speaker 2: have a painting pill. I don't have any to begin with.
Speaker 2: But I'm all, eyeb yourprofien now. But yeah, the peptides
Speaker 2: seem to have done. I take beat root and all
Speaker 2: sorts of shit milk thistle. But peptids are other thing, man.
Speaker 2: They're really good.
Speaker 1: Well, there's a huge difference between I know, doing the
Speaker 1: injection and taking pills though. Sure, sure, but the folks
Speaker 1: that are taken, I mean not probably. I had five
Speaker 1: discussions with people in the last week, all of whom
Speaker 1: have had thirty pounds, fifty pounds, forty pounds, twenty five pounds, whatever,
Speaker 1: all in like four or five six weeks. Yeah, all
Speaker 1: talking about how they feel ten years younger, that they
Speaker 1: have this boundless energy. I mean all this time, I'm like, okay, man,
Speaker 1: maybe I don't have the money, man, I need to
Speaker 1: think about this shit.
Speaker 2: Well, the injections. I mean, look, I know that I was,
Speaker 2: like I said, you and Kenny with me, and Kenny
Speaker 2: would go to weight challenge and I was two forty
Speaker 2: five on New Year's Day and I'm too eighteen yesterday.
Speaker 2: That's great, that's great. I'm not running, I'm not sweating
Speaker 2: shit out. I'm not running around the park. I walk,
Speaker 2: but that's good. I don't come home drink and wet,
Speaker 2: So I mean, I don't know it's doing something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's about the timing, right. So you said
Speaker 1: you're on them for seven months, and you start out
Speaker 1: doing all that in January.
Speaker 2: It tasts like six weeks for have to kick in,
Speaker 2: I think, but I liked them a lot. My wife's
Speaker 2: got to have terrible back. She's got like four compressed discs.
Speaker 2: She went to the er. She got you know, flex roles,
Speaker 2: some cortizone shot, oh, you name it. I want to
Speaker 2: get her them too, because getting the surgery at fifty whatever,
Speaker 2: she is fifty two fifty two. I mean, it's not
Speaker 2: as dangerous as it used to be, but that's gonna
Speaker 2: layer up forever, you know.
Speaker 1: It depends on what it is. I mean. I walked
Speaker 1: out of the hospital for my second back surgery.
Speaker 2: I did too, yeah, you know, and I was in.
Speaker 1: So much pain going into it. I thought I'd be
Speaker 1: laid up for weeks.
Speaker 2: But you and I have a heart. Spine looks like
Speaker 2: a question mark, that's how bent to the right it is.
Speaker 2: And then the muscles cramp on one side of your back.
Speaker 2: And she got the side of a hit pain that's
Speaker 2: driving it crazy. So I've been there, but my mind's
Speaker 2: always been straight. But it had bulging discs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. And it is no fun. No, it sucks,
Speaker 1: well it does. It sucks, but you know, so far,
Speaker 1: neither of us sound like Joe Biden, and.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, she's an asshole, but an asshole she's thinking.
Speaker 2: She's saying what all of us thought and knew way
Speaker 2: back then, like this guy's having a health there's a
Speaker 2: health alert going on, he's in trouble. What are you
Speaker 2: doing to the guy? You're getting the picture now that
Speaker 2: a lot of us thought that she enjoyed being in
Speaker 2: the White House more than he did. She enjoyed the
Speaker 2: perks and the power and et cetera. Because what she
Speaker 2: tells the lady on the interview, you know, I thought
Speaker 2: he was having a stroke. And then he comes off saying,
Speaker 2: you did great show. You answered every answered all the questions.
Speaker 2: It's like you talked to a six year old.
Speaker 1: I remember when that happened that night, and that was
Speaker 1: the comment. You answered all the questions. Yes, you're the
Speaker 1: president of the United States, and you answered all the questions.
Speaker 1: Here's a gold star to put it in your And
Speaker 1: then you know he's having She thinks he's having a stroke,
Speaker 1: So what better place to take him than the waffle house?
Speaker 1: And Jason wasn't a full stroke. How about how about
Speaker 1: some waffle house food to get you, uh, completely there?
Speaker 2: And she said. He said that night, I just don't
Speaker 2: feel well. I don't feel right before the before the
Speaker 2: actual uh uh what do you call the to me? Yeah,
Speaker 2: he said to it, I don't feel right. I don't
Speaker 2: feel well.
Speaker 1: You can't, dude, he says that on Monday, Tuesday, when Fridays.
Speaker 1: I mean that the debate could have been held any
Speaker 1: other date, anywhere within you know, sixty days of when
Speaker 1: it was, and he would have done no better than
Speaker 1: he did. That's, you know, that is what he was
Speaker 1: capable of doing. And how they anybody could have thought.
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what they pumped him with?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: Uh? You know, because he got through a hed gotten
Speaker 1: through a State of the Union looking, you know, like
Speaker 1: Grandpa had some time left, like he was completely done.
Speaker 1: But you know, they got the wrong freaking cocktail in him.
Speaker 1: Something happened where they didn't get the right mix that
Speaker 1: you know, gave him an hour or two of life.
Speaker 1: He went up there like you know, he was with
Speaker 1: the Easter Bunny again on the East.
Speaker 2: Time and other times they tuned him up so much
Speaker 2: that he was like tripping out. Likes us to yell
Speaker 2: in the middle of a speech or lose the sentences
Speaker 2: and just you know, like my grandfather just had, he
Speaker 2: just had every day he says, uh, I don't feel well.
Speaker 2: My grandfather was ninety two when he died. Uh he
Speaker 2: lived with us towards the end of his life. And
Speaker 2: uh he also his his daughter live with us, Miyamry.
Speaker 2: And he would sit there and sometimes he'd say at
Speaker 2: this point, he was in diapers, and he'd say I
Speaker 2: feel I feel good in Italian and that meant he
Speaker 2: showed himself. And of course, what how let me see, papa,
Speaker 2: let me see, and she take him to the bathroom
Speaker 2: and clean him up. Not his daughter, his daughter in law.
Speaker 2: My mother was an angel. But like he would just
Speaker 2: announce at dinner, I feel good, okay, shot himself again,
Speaker 2: go ahead and clean him up?
Speaker 1: What did what did I feel bad? Signal?
Speaker 2: Oh god? He never said that. He's always tumbing to
Speaker 2: the maleman's screwing the neighbor next door. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: old Italians were just so crazy, old Sicilians. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean you know.
Speaker 1: Who depends at that point right now? So I mean
Speaker 1: you're going freestyle.
Speaker 2: Right, I'm just saying diaper. But that doesn't make sense
Speaker 2: unless he was wearing cloth diapers, which all the kids,
Speaker 2: we all wore, We brought up on cloth diapers. They
Speaker 2: got washed, and thinking about that, you put them back
Speaker 2: on again, but with safety pins. Oh my god. I
Speaker 2: remember one time my mother.
Speaker 1: Was, no, I think we had I think, no, no,
Speaker 1: rampers were out for us.
Speaker 2: Not really well when not in Brooklyn. I remember having
Speaker 2: Brooklyn in Brooklyn. No, no, no, I remember because one
Speaker 2: my mother I was she wanted to go out off
Speaker 2: the evil spirits. So she put a called a clove
Speaker 2: in the safety pin and put my diaper together and
Speaker 2: she didn't realize she put it through my skin. Oh
Speaker 2: I was crying, and Rosie figured it out because she
Speaker 2: was like eighteen at this point, nineteen And yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I wasn't in panthers. Uh by the time I got
Speaker 2: to Long Island, I was. I wasn't you know. I
Speaker 2: was pissing and doing my business in the toilet. But uh, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: we had we had cloth.
Speaker 1: Dude, we were right there. Pampers officially hit the market
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty one, developed by P and G Research
Speaker 1: or Victorm mill As, the brand introduced the first widely accessible,
Speaker 1: mass market disposable diaper. The stores revolutionary, revolutionizing baby care
Speaker 1: by eliminating the need for cloth diapers and pins. Wow,
Speaker 1: you guys got on it a little.
Speaker 2: We got a little bit late, a little bit late.
Speaker 2: Maybe they cost a lot of money.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but well, if that's the first, you know,
Speaker 1: it usually takes a while for it, you know, to
Speaker 1: get mass distribution and everything like that.
Speaker 2: Amazing that guy just thought I'm gonna be in the
Speaker 2: ship business. That's an amazing invention.
Speaker 1: Well, I happen to have a little article right here
Speaker 1: on the history of pamps, P and G. Scientist Victor
Speaker 1: Mills was frustrated with cloth diapers while caring for his grandson,
Speaker 1: so he asked himself, there has to be a better way.
Speaker 1: That moment started the baby care revolution. There he is,
Speaker 1: that's great, such as awesome, such a wise looking man.
Speaker 1: How could it have taken that many years for somebody
Speaker 1: to say, here's got to be a better way to
Speaker 1: get all this ship off of the I mean, we
Speaker 1: got the my brothers are fucking Airborne in nineteen oh one,
Speaker 1: and it took us another sixty years to deal with shit.
Speaker 2: I know, and everything we thought of as kids. Can
Speaker 2: you imagine having a phone this not home. Imagine cars flying.
Speaker 2: Everything we thought is happening. But they just went through shit.
Speaker 2: Like if you think about it, when they came from
Speaker 2: Europe to New York, there was shit in the streets.
Speaker 2: There was no there was no uh sanitation. I mean
Speaker 2: you shit in a bucket or in an outhouse and
Speaker 2: it went in the streets. Horses. God, what a horrible
Speaker 2: way to start your lives, restart your lives. But imagine
Speaker 2: what it was like overseas. If New York was better Christ.
Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently they had to go the first ten years
Speaker 1: still using pins. So they still use pins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, there was no Velt Bro yet. Okay, that's
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 1: Pampers replaced sharp safety pins with easy to use teeps
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy one, so diapering became quicker, simpler, and
Speaker 1: s for parents everywhere.
Speaker 2: And now old people, dogs, monkeys, children, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: They're all I remember this, uh, this baby's face. God,
Speaker 1: that's for years they had this really sad like now
Speaker 1: all the babies are fucking happy on the Panthers thing. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Pampers ads and stuff. It's like, you know, the
Speaker 1: baby's on ecstasy or something. The babies are all, you know,
Speaker 1: just really happy. This baby was like miserable.
Speaker 2: Oh oh little higher. Oh yeah, it's not a happy baby. Baby.
Speaker 2: You're sendings own ship. Wow?
Speaker 1: What do they do? They probably stuck it with a
Speaker 1: safety pin.
Speaker 2: Right, happen to me? Remember Ivory Snow was Marilyn Chambers,
Speaker 2: the porn star the baby on the Ivory show box. Uh,
Speaker 2: that's great.
Speaker 1: The next major innovation came in nineteen eighty six, inspired
Speaker 1: by the Mets Championship No doubt, absolute excuse me. Absorbent
Speaker 1: gel material made pampers thinner and lighter while keeping babies
Speaker 1: even dryer. Parents love the comfort without the bulk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were. Those early vipers were really really bulk like ducks.
Speaker 2: We walked around like big ass ducks. And then you
Speaker 2: go in the pool of a public pool, or you're
Speaker 2: pull in the backyard. If a baby's in there with
Speaker 2: a diaper, you don't want to be in there. It's
Speaker 2: just ty three.
Speaker 1: They introduced the first pull up pants, yeah, and entered
Speaker 1: the wipes business. So wipes came out. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pull up wipes are everywhere now. I mean you
Speaker 2: get dude wipes at seven eleven, Like, they're everywhere.
Speaker 1: My soulg got here on Saturday. Yeah, good went chopping
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Food chopping right, and he's like, dad, let
Speaker 1: me change your life, dude. So I go up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, best best ever, I'm telling you by a big ass. Yeah.
Speaker 2: They four the time. Like I said, if your bird
Speaker 2: shit on your arm on the way home, you wouldn't
Speaker 2: just wipe it off with a paper towel. You'd wash
Speaker 2: your arm like we take a shit. What are we
Speaker 2: doing just wiping get in the air. Just give it
Speaker 2: one or two and you feel much better with yourself.
Speaker 2: But you could do your neck. You could do it.
Speaker 1: I thought the big issue with those was plumbing was
Speaker 1: was well.
Speaker 2: Some of you can flush on your camp you got
Speaker 2: to look for flushable So dude, wife shot, I think
Speaker 2: you can flush her, but I got caught.
Speaker 1: I help you can because we've been flushing the shit
Speaker 1: out of them for yeah, since Saturday.
Speaker 2: I think you can because I've had them. But I
Speaker 2: got cottonel now. Yeah, they're great, They're really good. I'm
Speaker 2: surprise he's into that for a kid his age, that's good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: This would have come in handy for Grandpa Benza.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the mother.
Speaker 1: The two thousand and seven innovation of the wetness indicator.
Speaker 1: I didn't know they had a wetness indicator.
Speaker 2: Now, what the hell is that?
Speaker 1: So designed to change color so you know when your
Speaker 1: baby is due for a diaper change. I guess the
Speaker 1: diaper is something in it that senses urine or poop
Speaker 1: and let you know when it's in there.
Speaker 2: I mean, when Rosalie had fifteen dogs Yorkis, I think
Speaker 2: her monthly diaper bill was like ninety dollars for all
Speaker 2: the because for the boys, not the girls. The male
Speaker 2: dogs lift their legs all the time, and there's too
Speaker 2: much work to walk down. They just go in the backyard.
Speaker 2: But sometimes they you know, very vindictive, they mad at something,
Speaker 2: and so they all put diapers on all the mails
Speaker 2: and it's I see people have pet monkeys and diapers
Speaker 2: running around their house. You know, I'm done changing diapers.
Speaker 2: Rock on graduates Wednesday, you know, like, I know you've
Speaker 2: been through this recently, but you know everybody, he went
Speaker 2: to Notre Dame's graduation. No, Hollywood, he's been all over.
Speaker 2: So Saturday goes down. I'm gonna be out for a while.
Speaker 2: It's Notre Dame. He likes a girl, Notre dame uh
Speaker 2: And he leaves at eight a m. On Saturday morning.
Speaker 2: He gets back Sunday night at midnight. That's how many parties.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm like, I remember the last week
Speaker 2: of school. I remember all that ship and then I go,
Speaker 2: so he said, can you get me out of school
Speaker 2: early yesterday? I said, yeah, What do I tell the front?
Speaker 2: They won't ask, of course, they say what's wrong? I said,
Speaker 2: he's ill? Really the nurse? Did nurse call you?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: My son called me. Then I said, he's a senior. Okay,
Speaker 2: he's got a few days levet one final to go.
Speaker 2: I'm taking him home. So they let me take him home.
Speaker 2: But I said, our last week of school, we had
Speaker 2: class weeks softphones, juniors and seniors decorate the halls. We
Speaker 2: had that assembly where we all dedicated songs to each other.
Speaker 2: You know. I said, do you guys still do best looking?
Speaker 2: And he goes, yeah, he goes, I got one of those.
Speaker 2: I go, what you get? He goes, I got friendliest?
Speaker 2: And I felt so good in my chest that he
Speaker 2: got friends great. But he wouldn't tell me that. He
Speaker 2: wouldn't tell me.
Speaker 1: I can't. That's that's that surprises me.
Speaker 2: That he keeps. He doesn't say much about ship life,
Speaker 2: doesn't brag about stuff. But I would have been fucking
Speaker 2: posting that ship. He's not narcissistic like I am.
Speaker 1: I guess all right, last major diaper innovation, because you
Speaker 1: have to hear about.
Speaker 2: What's the latest one. I'm trying to think what it could.
Speaker 1: Be twenty twenty one, right of if it's the last,
Speaker 1: but it's the last, I'm going to read bye bye blowouts.
Speaker 1: Pampers introduced the blowout barrier. Parents finally had help in
Speaker 1: preventing messy a leagues. Yes, up the back, often called poonamis,
Speaker 1: that's anami. Yeah, they solved the punami crisis.
Speaker 2: Well, you've had babies, but just even the car and
Speaker 2: it's hot, and all of a sudden they're crying. You
Speaker 2: realize it's down their thighs and up their back.
Speaker 1: There's nothing, I mean, there's there's just nothing worse. Maybe
Speaker 1: time the first time you get peed in the face
Speaker 1: on by if you have a boy, baby.
Speaker 2: Boy, maybe maybe your puppy on the airplane could have
Speaker 2: been that. That sounds like a worst story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that I should have I should have had
Speaker 1: diapers for that trip. I would have needed at least
Speaker 1: two diapers for that trip.
Speaker 2: But I know, I know, oh so funny.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you saw this. It's just
Speaker 1: related to the bidens and I couldn't believe it when
Speaker 1: I saw it. So, you know, uh, Barack Obama raised
Speaker 1: almost one and a half billion dollars for his presidential
Speaker 1: library to build that shitty months again, they built their
Speaker 1: spring in Chicago, so horrible. Looks like are too d
Speaker 1: two And it's like.
Speaker 2: The Minecraft on Minecraft building the kids building it's Minecraft.
Speaker 1: It's horrible. It's so fucking And I was looking back
Speaker 1: and and and that's the most anybody's raised. Uh yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: I think you know Trump will end up having more,
Speaker 1: of course, but you go through the preceding presidents and
Speaker 1: it's all hundreds of millions of dollars. And Joe Biden
Speaker 1: so far for his presidential library has raised three hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that doesn't say it all.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to need to be a tent
Speaker 1: at this point.
Speaker 2: Which is very apropos put it in North Hollywood.
Speaker 1: It should probably, yeah, it should be a tent in
Speaker 1: the the uh him presidential tent.
Speaker 2: And I have a bunch of I mean, look, I
Speaker 2: was at the Reagan Library, which is beautiful, such a
Speaker 2: beautiful place with the Air Force one in there and ship.
Speaker 2: You know, there's so many things on display, and they
Speaker 2: bring attractions in us of jewels from Egypt, all sorts
Speaker 2: of great stuff. What the fuck is who's going to
Speaker 2: bring anything to Biden's. It's like even like a.
Speaker 1: A picture a hunter on a Barizma board meeting. You
Speaker 1: get that up there, you get you know Wax, you
Speaker 1: know Wax what's his name?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Who was the idiot that was? That was the Homeland
Speaker 1: Security guy, Alejandro. Get a wax Ma orcists. That was
Speaker 1: a disaster.
Speaker 2: Get some trains in there. The ball transit transcended with
Speaker 2: the lipstick and heels.
Speaker 1: You have a whole portion of the tent devoted to
Speaker 1: uh uh, what's her name? The new Supreme Court justice
Speaker 1: k Yeah, Katanji gets a little spot in there, I know.
Speaker 1: And she'd be right next to the first African American
Speaker 1: lesbian uh Press secretary.
Speaker 2: Who courage Jean Pierre.
Speaker 1: Who's not seen, She's done nothing, don't even know if
Speaker 1: she exists. Where is she right now?
Speaker 2: She don't get a TV job, nothing, They don't. They
Speaker 2: don't put her on TV. I don't see her talking
Speaker 2: head on any show. I could be wrong, but I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't see her. No.
Speaker 1: I mean she could be a postal worker somewhere. I mean,
Speaker 1: I have no idea what she would be qualified for
Speaker 1: after her performance.
Speaker 2: But sometimes you're such a job.
Speaker 1: My apologies to post a work or she, but if
Speaker 1: you probably make a lousy post to work.
Speaker 2: She's probably overqualified for a lot of jobs because she's stupid.
Speaker 2: But she held such a big position. And if I'm hiring,
Speaker 2: I don't want her. I don't. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't care what business I have. Does she have
Speaker 2: a legal degree?
Speaker 1: If I don't think she's No, she's not a lawyer, right,
Speaker 1: there's no way. I mean, I would be very shocked
Speaker 1: to hear to choose a lay. But you know some job, well,
Speaker 1: she needs a big book in front of her that
Speaker 1: she can open and just flip pages in a big book.
Speaker 1: I don't know job description has you know, flipping pages
Speaker 1: of a big book all day?
Speaker 2: Circle back. Jen Saki got a nice gig.
Speaker 1: Was actually a very good press secretary. I mean she
Speaker 1: might not liked what she had to say I didn't.
Speaker 1: But but she's sharp on her feet and and nose.
Speaker 1: I mean, they took a major step back when they
Speaker 1: went all d I and put her in there after Saki.
Speaker 1: So ye got to give, got to give Saki what
Speaker 1: Peppermin Patty so who used to call her peppermin Patty?
Speaker 1: You know, she looks exactly like Pepper and the Peanuts cartoons.
Speaker 2: She does that's amazing. And you know, well, I feel
Speaker 2: like Trump's got I mean, I got, I went, I
Speaker 2: went off on Trump a little bit yesterday. Today's politics
Speaker 2: is a bitch. I have to turn down the dolls
Speaker 2: somewhat on the enthusiasm for him. What hurts me to do?
Speaker 2: But uh, you know, I don't. I just I feel like,
Speaker 2: I like, I don't want to hear about a concert
Speaker 2: with Melissa McKnight and Millie Vanilli who thought Millie Vanilly
Speaker 2: should play at a concert for America? And Alli did
Speaker 2: his lip sync in the nineties. Who's making these calls?
Speaker 2: And Brett Michaels get Addie. I'm glad they all dropped out,
Speaker 2: But I don't care about concerts like that. Can we
Speaker 2: get down the breast hacks?
Speaker 1: But it's a major embarrassment. It is so that's so embarrassing.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: But I don't, I don't, I don't. I mean, to me,
Speaker 1: the embarrassment should be on the country period. That the
Speaker 1: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the country. And I mean, shoot,
Speaker 1: I remember, like it was yesterday all watching all the
Speaker 1: tall ships in New York Harbor and little it was
Speaker 1: just there was so much around that We're a month
Speaker 1: out and you don't hear anything.
Speaker 2: No, and by the way, New York City was in
Speaker 2: a horrible shape at that point, horrible shape with when
Speaker 2: the tall ships came down down the river. It began
Speaker 2: to get cleaned up after that. But no, look, you know,
Speaker 2: I went to seven eleven the other day and it's
Speaker 2: a girl on a bicycle with a shirt make California socialists.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't believe these people believe in this shit.
Speaker 2: I can't believe they think this is the way to go.
Speaker 2: These are all people that would picked last in the
Speaker 2: school year old. Like I always say, they've never been
Speaker 2: on a team. They don't know what it's like to
Speaker 2: be a teammate, but they just want to like I
Speaker 2: know where the melting pot. But you know, you leave
Speaker 2: the kitchen and the pot, you forget the pot's been boiling,
Speaker 2: and you come back and everything's over. It's the pot
Speaker 2: and the stove is all fucked up. That's what we've
Speaker 2: become right now. In every state, even Maine has problems.
Speaker 2: Find me a state where we can go, and Florida
Speaker 2: seems pretty good. I gotta be on that's probably number one.
Speaker 2: But there's not many states you can flee to and
Speaker 2: feel like this is the spot, this will be protected
Speaker 2: for a while. There's no shit going on here. It's
Speaker 2: going on everywhere. It's going on.
Speaker 1: It's even going on here, but it's definitely muted compared
Speaker 1: to a lot of other places.
Speaker 2: It's it's scared, scared for our kids, Scared for our kids, grandkids.
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're gonna do, but our kids,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, folks, not too late to make a contribution to
Speaker 1: the Biden Presidential Tent Library if you're so inclined. All right, dude,
Speaker 1: so this thing gets going Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Well, I heard a story today. I love That guy
Speaker 2: gets on the subway in New York and he's a
Speaker 2: mentally ill person. You know, people just look down at
Speaker 2: their phones. You don't want to get involved. So I
Speaker 2: was telling rock with people. I've seen ladies on Instagram
Speaker 2: bring a kiddie pull into the subway with water and
Speaker 2: sit there with a bikini. They're nuts. So the guy
Speaker 2: says he comes on. Fuck the Jews, fuck the fuck
Speaker 2: the fuck America, Fuck the Knicks. They gonna beat the
Speaker 2: ship out of the guy. After fuck the Knicks. Everything
Speaker 2: else is okay, okay, you can't say fuck the Knicks.
Speaker 2: People are getting tattoos on the Knick, tattoos behind and
Speaker 2: behind their ear. They painted the subway. The subway rails
Speaker 2: are orange.
Speaker 1: I saw that.
Speaker 2: I saw that one thing they gotta do, and I
Speaker 2: posted this on Instagram. They got to put the statue
Speaker 2: that I can't do it, but I would love to
Speaker 2: see three fingers, three fronts and fingers over the statue
Speaker 2: of liver in his face. That would be good. I
Speaker 2: think we can. I really think we're a more balanced team.
Speaker 2: I know they got Wemby, who's a superstar, and if
Speaker 2: there's a time to beat him, this is the season now,
Speaker 2: because he's just gonna get better and more awesome. He's
Speaker 2: gonna average forty and twenty five soon. You know, this
Speaker 2: guy's amazing.
Speaker 1: Maybe, but I have to tell you I watched him
Speaker 1: closely in that series. He gets soft in moments. I mean,
Speaker 1: he does not like to battle underneath the basket. For
Speaker 1: a guy that with that's seven foot four to spend
Speaker 1: as much time outside the three point line with the
Speaker 1: ball in his hand, it's fucking crazy. I would never Yes,
Speaker 1: great that the guy can can shoot three, right, but
Speaker 1: so can every other player on the court. Your advantage,
Speaker 1: your advantage is not that you can shoot three. Your
Speaker 1: advantage is that you're seven foot motherfucking four getting God
Speaker 1: damn Leane, learn how to play with your back to
Speaker 1: the basket.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah he's not.
Speaker 1: He's not ripping tons of boards down. I was very
Speaker 1: underwhelmed with him in that series, to tell you the truth,
Speaker 1: versus everything I had heard about. If he plays that
Speaker 1: way against the Knicks.
Speaker 2: We'll fucking kill them. I know, I know.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gotta be a lot tougher than he
Speaker 1: has to be.
Speaker 2: I get the feeling. As a pretty sensitive kid. I
Speaker 2: saw the Knicks win. I didn't see them cry. I
Speaker 2: mean the emotion emotional, but they're they're they're handling business
Speaker 2: when when Wenby won, he couldn't stop screaming, like, you know,
Speaker 2: yelling on the court, very you know, very enthusiastic about it.
Speaker 2: I just felt tears in his eyes. I was like,
Speaker 2: all right, that's good. But you know, you're supposed to
Speaker 2: win because you've got a great team around you. You're
Speaker 2: a great player. This shouldn't be a shock to you.
Speaker 2: I want to I'm glad of playing them. I'm glad.
Speaker 2: I'm glad. I think, okay, so he would have given
Speaker 2: us more fits with their speed. Uh, but I'm it's
Speaker 2: just afraid of him altering shots, not as much blocking them,
Speaker 2: but he's gonna alter shots. And I heard they might
Speaker 2: put Sohn on him, who really doesn't play much. Uh.
Speaker 2: They're gonna use Porty so Han and uh.
Speaker 1: I like, I like, well, maybe just to just to
Speaker 1: eat up some fouls and to give Og a little bread.
Speaker 1: They're gonna put Og on him more than Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: gonna put anybody else on them, which is an amazing thing.
Speaker 1: Great defensive, he could possibly guard a guy that size. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's what I'm talking about about his strength. If
Speaker 1: Wemby fills out and learns to play with his back
Speaker 1: to the basket. Then forget about it. I mean, right now,
Speaker 1: he's like a seven foot four wing. I mean, you
Speaker 1: know that's we don't have to It's a freak with
Speaker 1: the position.
Speaker 2: It's a freak. It's a freak of nature that he
Speaker 2: can do what he does. But he'll never turn his
Speaker 2: back to the basket because he wants to be the
Speaker 2: new on of basketball player. He hits threes, and it's
Speaker 2: just a different kind of ballplayer. There's no more shacks.
Speaker 2: There's no more David Robinson's or Okay, but we'll.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, but yes, there are and there will be.
Speaker 1: I mean you think, look, look, kat likes to take
Speaker 1: the three's. Yeah, but he also likes to drive to
Speaker 1: the who he bangs, He bangs and and he rips
Speaker 1: a lot of boards. He's twelve boards a game.
Speaker 2: I know, did you need the start on on Jalen
Speaker 2: Bruns at this stat? Well, on top of the fact
Speaker 2: that he only averaged twelve at Dallas. I know he
Speaker 2: had Luca with him, but twelve at Dallas, twelve points
Speaker 2: a game. Comes to New York getting in the twenties,
Speaker 2: He's he's up his average in the fourth court in
Speaker 2: the playoffs in twenty six points a game. And I
Speaker 2: heard this stat and I think I'm getting it Righty,
Speaker 2: in the two hundred and forty eight minutes of fourth
Speaker 2: quarters and overtimes, he has two hundred and forty eight
Speaker 2: points a point a minute.
Speaker 1: Think about that, like, yeah, no, look, he's uh, he's
Speaker 1: great in crunch time. He's a great leader. Those guys
Speaker 1: are very very together as a team. They all like
Speaker 1: each other. They play really really hard. They've stepped up
Speaker 1: their the defense defense in the playoffs, are playing at
Speaker 1: a defensive level they've never played at before. They've gotten
Speaker 1: guys involved now that that we're never involved in the
Speaker 1: the TIBs regime or even this season in the in
Speaker 1: the middle of the season. But to be able to
Speaker 1: go to a shaman, to be able to go to
Speaker 1: uh uh, what's his name, Jose, Guys like that off
Speaker 1: the bench in addition to Deuce Clarkson, you get, I mean,
Speaker 1: you're a lot of nine ten players deep. Mitch, Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: if we could just teach the guy to shoot a
Speaker 1: fucking free throw. But anyway, it's.
Speaker 2: He's having a bad he's in his head a lot, Mitch.
Speaker 2: I read, I follow him on Instagram. He'll post things like,
Speaker 2: you know, not feeling it today, like I wish I
Speaker 2: get out of this funk. He I was like, just
Speaker 2: stop talking this way, man. And I know he probably punched,
Speaker 2: you know, banged the steering wheel. Actually, somebody said, you
Speaker 2: can see it happened in the last game. I couldn't
Speaker 2: find this the highlight to see that. But I think
Speaker 2: he punched the steering wheel or a wall.
Speaker 1: He broke the pink, he broke.
Speaker 2: The bone from the picky to the wrist. That's broken.
Speaker 2: But and then he shooting free throws with one hand.
Speaker 2: Give me a break. That's gonna be disaster. But he
Speaker 2: could kick him.
Speaker 1: He could kick them like punts and make a higher
Speaker 1: percentage of did you know, I don't know why they
Speaker 1: didn't get Rick Barry in there five years. Shoot und
Speaker 1: your hand, take a shot, do anything he had, but okay,
Speaker 1: fire that motherfucker.
Speaker 2: Then go Rick Barry style something. Yeah, it's awful. And
Speaker 2: I didn't know he was bitch. He was. He's David
Speaker 2: Robinson's nephew. He is. I's read that today in today's paper.
Speaker 2: I've never gotta I got a double check, and I've
Speaker 2: never heard of I've never heard.
Speaker 1: That he was he's a New Orleans kid. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know he he drives all these crazy
Speaker 1: ass trucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I said here, you know, these.
Speaker 1: Monster trucks everywhere with the crazy lights on him. He's
Speaker 1: a piece of work.
Speaker 2: He is, he is. But we need it, We need
Speaker 2: him help help.
Speaker 1: You would think at a point he'd he'd learned how
Speaker 1: to shoot a freaking free throw and not be a liability.
Speaker 1: You can't take off the bench until you're within two
Speaker 1: minutes at the end of the quarter.
Speaker 2: If you played twenty five minutes a game. He's all
Speaker 2: defensive team, He's All NBA defense team.
Speaker 1: If you played, I mean, if you could shoot free throws,
Speaker 1: you could stay on the court. It's the defining thing
Speaker 1: of his career. It's costing him hundreds of millions of
Speaker 1: dollars and he can't shoot a free throw. Ye crazy. Uh.
Speaker 1: Never have like really gross neighbors around you, like a neighbor.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's like horrible. Yeah, yeah, I've had them west
Speaker 2: Islip at the end of my reign. There no, actually
Speaker 2: Rosalie did. But well I have crazy people upstairs. But
Speaker 2: yeah I have that, Yeah, but I have I have some.
Speaker 2: I've been around there for a while. Sure, sure, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Well this this is a story out of Oregon, which
Speaker 1: things are bad enough there, right, But this is a
Speaker 1: married Oregon couple suing their neighbors for more than two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars because of a foul stench emanating from
Speaker 1: a tiny mobile home on the property next door. Apparently
Speaker 1: the stench coming out of there is so nasty that
Speaker 1: it caused this couple, both of them to collapse. John
Speaker 1: John and Trudy Benjamin filed the lawsuit against their neighbor,
Speaker 1: Karen Ward, alleging that a nasty cocktail of raw sewage
Speaker 1: and chemicals wafting from her small RV home has turned
Speaker 1: their Parkros Heights house of more than forty years into
Speaker 1: a toxic nightmare. The couple has even been forced to
Speaker 1: wear gas masks to withstand the disgusting and potentially hazardous aroma. Trudy,
Speaker 1: who's sixty seven, and said she began noticing the life
Speaker 1: changing smell from the rectangular mobile home park next towards
Speaker 1: single family residents last August and that it has steadily
Speaker 1: become so overpowering that she's unable to even go outside
Speaker 1: and garden or lounge in her own yard. My husband
Speaker 1: started walking by and started smelling it. He said, my god,
Speaker 1: what is that? And I said, yeah, I've been smelling
Speaker 1: it for a while. Their lawyer says the chemical that
Speaker 1: a chemical toilet in the small mobile home overflowed and
Speaker 1: then leached into the ground below it, causing the owner,
Speaker 1: the ward lady, to use bleach to try a mask
Speaker 1: the nascent. However, the chlorine bleach mixed with ammonia in
Speaker 1: urine creates a highly toxic Oh yeah, chloramine, chloromine, chloromine. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The foul stench even calls John, who's seventy seven, to
Speaker 1: collapse and break his nek, requiring surgery and extensive physical therapy.
Speaker 2: He fell on his knees. That's that's so sad.
Speaker 1: Apparently a friend went over their house and could smell
Speaker 1: the odor on their clothes.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: So the couple's been forced to keep their windows and
Speaker 1: doors tightly shut and wear gas masks with carbon filters
Speaker 1: when they walk from their car in the driveway into
Speaker 1: the home and from the home. That's the Okay, that's
Speaker 1: by the way right there. You ought to be able
Speaker 1: to kill your neighbor. Yeah, I mean, at that point
Speaker 1: you'd be totally justified in just taking a shotgun, walking
Speaker 1: right next door and just letting her fucking have it.
Speaker 2: My father had done it. We had decent neighbors in
Speaker 2: my slice. They were good people. If then one guy
Speaker 2: got a little knats she hit us, had a car bumper.
Speaker 2: Mister Rosito lost his sense of smell, sense of tape,
Speaker 2: and he went off a little bit there. But uh,
Speaker 2: the discovery was a cop. We had good neighbors, but
Speaker 2: we had some crazy ones. Not about stenches. Although we
Speaker 2: had this neighbor of the Rizzos who are around the corner.
Speaker 2: John Rizzo had a big boat. Couldn't drive it though,
Speaker 2: so my father would drive it. Was like it was
Speaker 2: like a thirty five foot boat. Nice boat. And uh
Speaker 2: lived on Marina Circle. So he had a He wore
Speaker 2: a black felt cap and he would come over. One
Speaker 2: day he left his cap and it smell. It has
Speaker 2: heads smell like scalp smell. And I go, ma, yeah,
Speaker 2: this fucking hat. Oh I know, I said, well what
Speaker 2: do you do? So she put it in the in
Speaker 2: the linen closet and for years I every time ip
Speaker 2: with a linen closet, I swear it was the memory
Speaker 2: of smelling that hat. We finally returned it. But that's
Speaker 2: the that's the only smelly kind of neighbor thing I
Speaker 2: had to go through. But yeah, we've had some We've
Speaker 2: had some crazy things in my my part of West
Speaker 2: lights about the nuts and aids and kids getting molested
Speaker 2: by the father. It was a crazy I.
Speaker 1: Can't believe that happened.
Speaker 2: There's such a nice neighborhood, mister Hanigan. Horrible.
Speaker 1: My parents had this handyman seemingly was at the house
Speaker 1: all the time while I was growing up. And this
Speaker 1: guy would drink remember wrangold. Oh sure, he would drink
Speaker 1: wrangolds literally from the time he got there until the
Speaker 1: time he left at whatever project he was he was
Speaker 1: working on. And the guy would the guy would if
Speaker 1: he didn't know you were there, Like he let's say
Speaker 1: he's putting up a piece of paneling or painting a
Speaker 1: wall or whatever he's doing. If he doesn't know you're there,
Speaker 1: you could hear the guy rip off part after fart
Speaker 1: after fart, and you know, and he'll be and in
Speaker 1: one hand is the brush, the other hand is the wrangold,
Speaker 1: you know, and he would just leave the trail. He'd
Speaker 1: have like a like a the case that he would
Speaker 1: bring for the day, and he was just all the
Speaker 1: dead soldiers would just go back in the case. And
Speaker 1: I can I mean, I'm like twelve years I can
Speaker 1: remember looking in there and thinking, you know, I didn't
Speaker 1: know anything about beer and how many a human could have.
Speaker 1: But you look in there and there'd be, you know,
Speaker 1: be the middle of the day and the guy guy's
Speaker 1: already killed twelve of them or oh my god, more
Speaker 1: than the guy would drink a case every single time came.
Speaker 1: He's a big guy.
Speaker 2: I mean, CHICU drank a case at the Japese party
Speaker 2: one night.
Speaker 1: Guys in college that could drink, that could drink a case.
Speaker 1: I mean that's unbelievable. I could drink twenty four.
Speaker 2: It might day, it might when I got to LA.
Speaker 1: You can understand the farting, I mean farting and having
Speaker 1: the pee NonStop.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but back then in those days, like when
Speaker 2: somebody was drunk, like when there was a drunk driver
Speaker 2: incident and someone was killed, people would actually say the driver, well,
Speaker 2: the program was drunk, like they make like was uh
Speaker 2: you know, like the drive the driver was drunk. The
Speaker 2: pork gum was drunk. Lets everybody calm down. He was
Speaker 2: drinking like it was almost an excuse because everybody back then,
Speaker 2: you know, Dick Van Dyke would come home as marry
Speaker 2: Tylla Wo would make him with Martini. It was like
Speaker 2: a you know, drinking was everywhere. When I came to
Speaker 2: La after New York, I went to this good doctor
Speaker 2: in Beverly Hills, doctor Trabulus, and he goes to me.
Speaker 2: He goes, uh, how much do you you know? How's
Speaker 2: your alcohol consumption? I said, you know, trying to drank
Speaker 2: a lot in New York? Yeah, how much? You say?
Speaker 2: Like two? Three? I go two or three at home
Speaker 2: before I go out, and then two or three at
Speaker 2: the next first restaurant, and three more of the next round.
Speaker 2: I said, probably on a good night, twenty twenty two drinks.
Speaker 2: He was like that can't you can't be serious. You
Speaker 2: stopped drinking. I say, you might find some blood in
Speaker 2: my gin stream if you look close enough. He goes,
Speaker 2: you have to stop drinking now, all right. Of course
Speaker 2: I didn't. But I I was brought up in drink culture. No, no,
Speaker 2: it's I was on the I was on the prow
Speaker 2: for stories. I was going club to club restaurants. So
Speaker 2: for me, it was like I got to have something
Speaker 2: in my hand. I don't smoke, so that was it.
Speaker 2: I wasn't doing coke back then. It was like I'll
Speaker 2: get a drink at the bar. It was easy and
Speaker 2: it didn't.
Speaker 1: Carbonated water didn't get it done for you. No.
Speaker 2: I tried trunk cocktail Cranberry to if I wanted to
Speaker 2: kill myself, Yeah, I'll have Cranbridger. Just get the fuck
Speaker 2: at it does nothing. I'm like dying to have something.
Speaker 2: I only want to drink when I when I I'm
Speaker 2: in a restaurant with a steak or something like that done.
Speaker 2: I'd like a martini. But to sit around the house
Speaker 2: and drink before I go out. Now we can. At
Speaker 2: this age in our thirties, it was something we could
Speaker 2: do and get up the next day for work. It
Speaker 2: was like we had two martinis at lunch at the
Speaker 2: Daily News. All the writers would get together, go downstairs
Speaker 2: to a bar, have lunch, a couple of martinis, go
Speaker 2: back to work. I mean, Pete Hamill was a drunk,
Speaker 2: Jimmy Bresling was a drunk. All my idols were big drinkers.
Speaker 2: So you think I want to be like them, and
Speaker 2: then you find out that's not the best to go.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty something in the night is a big is
Speaker 1: a big number, A lot. It was a lot back
Speaker 1: in the back in the day though, Like you think
Speaker 1: about this, what's the current? I think it's point zero
Speaker 1: eight is the blood alcohol level. I mean there were
Speaker 1: people all over the roads that would have blown like
Speaker 1: point threes.
Speaker 2: Dude, forget about it.
Speaker 1: And all you did was you you just saw them
Speaker 1: and you knew you watched them swerve, and you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get in fun of this before you know.
Speaker 1: It was just you had to clear them, you know,
Speaker 1: you just said to get out of the way of him.
Speaker 1: And if he ran into a tree, he ran into
Speaker 1: a tree.
Speaker 2: I love the story the Britney Spears that got the
Speaker 2: nine to one one call someone saying there's a woman
Speaker 2: driving erradically. We grew up like that. We just dodged
Speaker 2: those carts, you know, exactly, just changing lanes too quickly,
Speaker 2: not using a direction. Yeah, check, we've done that, shoe.
Speaker 2: You know, does you close your eyes like Brent Zigler
Speaker 2: did for thirty seconds on the highway? You know? Crazy? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean that one more story about drinking. Tony Tony
Speaker 2: Boch tells me this is a classic. He does go
Speaker 2: to a family function in Brooklyn, Howard Beach, whatever the
Speaker 2: fuck it was, and his father got loaded at the party. Right,
Speaker 2: he's passed, kind of passed out. They gotta go. They
Speaker 2: kind of hold him to the car. He's gonna I
Speaker 2: could drive. I could drive. He stopped at Tony's eleven. Right,
Speaker 2: the mother's like, who's gonna drop. They gave the keys
Speaker 2: to George. He was fourteen. Tony George strove from Brooklyn
Speaker 2: to West Is and every ten minutes if I was like,
Speaker 2: pull over, I could drive. And George took him all
Speaker 2: over home at fourteen.
Speaker 1: Didn't the mom drive?
Speaker 2: Don't think oh she's Tony said, because back then the
Speaker 2: woman was like, but my mom didn't have a license.
Speaker 2: But back then his mother was like, only the men
Speaker 2: drive cars. You know. It's very like very guinea kind
Speaker 2: of like only the men. Women don't touch serios. Really,
Speaker 2: my father, my father would not let my mother get
Speaker 2: drive his license. She wanted to learn. He said, if
Speaker 2: you're gonna learn, you gotta drive with one hand like
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: She's what so and wear an eye patch?
Speaker 2: She said, she got her hand on the knob, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and on the knob that they just have knobs on
Speaker 2: the steering wheels to make it easy to turn. He goes,
Speaker 2: put your right hand on my ass, drive it one hand,
Speaker 2: and of course she runs over a curb or some ship.
Speaker 2: He goes, that's it. I'm gonna put my kids in
Speaker 2: a call with you. And you're hitting fucking curbs. No,
Speaker 2: no license for you. And that was it horrible?
Speaker 1: Why was the option of the second hand eliminated?
Speaker 2: He wanted to make it difficult so she couldn't drive.
Speaker 2: He wanted to have her home. It's a it's a prison,
Speaker 2: My poor mother.
Speaker 1: I saw some video the other day of this, uh
Speaker 1: this cop pulls over this lady and he claims that
Speaker 1: he saw her with her cell phone in her right hand,
Speaker 1: right okay, And so he says, this ship and she's
Speaker 1: looking at him, and she's just looking at him like
Speaker 1: you're a fucking idiot, Like how stupid. The cops at
Speaker 1: the window of the car and she's just looking at him,
Speaker 1: and she's like, really, so you saw you saw me
Speaker 1: holding my my cell phone in my right hand. Yes,
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm written. I've written you up for
Speaker 1: and she holds her thing up and she's amputated. All
Speaker 1: my here, she's got got.
Speaker 2: A little she's got a little claw, you know, with.
Speaker 1: A like a sock over it. And so she's finally
Speaker 1: going you see this, You think I was holding the
Speaker 1: phone with this and the cop the cop was under lengthing.
Speaker 1: He's like, then maybe maybe it was your left hand.
Speaker 1: That okay, it was my left hand. How was I
Speaker 1: driving the book like that? And she got the the
Speaker 1: the actual video because it was it was the the
Speaker 1: bodycam video. This How the police department didn't drop these charts?
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but but this tape got the
Speaker 1: video got played in a freaking corn room. I mean,
Speaker 1: this thing went all the way to see that.
Speaker 2: That's great, that's great.
Speaker 1: How could the car? What do they think was gonna
Speaker 1: happen in the courtroom? Other than the poor cop? You
Speaker 1: go in there and she all she gotta do is.
Speaker 2: Had to make us I guess, had to make his quota.
Speaker 2: Some ship like they have that. I know they have them.
Speaker 2: But I remember when like my father in law, Jen's
Speaker 2: father was a cop in Fall Rockaway and Jimmy Preslan
Speaker 2: was living around Queen's at that point, and they knew
Speaker 2: what Bari went to and stuff. And one night he
Speaker 2: went to a lot of cop balls. He loved talking
Speaker 2: to cops, and he'd be plastered and they'd go to
Speaker 2: his car, find his car, picked the car keys off him,
Speaker 2: and just rolled in the back seat or under the
Speaker 2: seat so he couldn't find so he couldn't drive. But
Speaker 2: they didn't. They weren't arresting people back then. It was
Speaker 2: just like, just hide his fucking keys. He came right,
Speaker 2: let us sleep it off, and he's sleeping off. I mean,
Speaker 2: it was much it's much safer now, but we all
Speaker 2: made it with no seat belts and you know, smoking
Speaker 2: with the windows up, and you know, drunk driving and
Speaker 2: ship and here we are.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, look like parents. Handyman Phil, he'd be
Speaker 1: he get whatever the hell he had to get done done,
Speaker 1: and he'd take his three six packs worth of dead
Speaker 1: soldiers and throw them in the trash and then he'd
Speaker 1: get in his banged up Van Jesus trouble.
Speaker 2: Well, you think about it, I mean, you think about
Speaker 2: all the A lot of the artists, and not only musicians,
Speaker 2: but painters, golp. So many of them were drug using drugs,
Speaker 2: whether you're a Picasso or so many of them, and
Speaker 2: yet what they created. I grew up believing this, like
Speaker 2: maybe that's the way to go. But then as I
Speaker 2: got older, I said, now I read better straight. There's
Speaker 2: some ideas that come to you when you're a little
Speaker 2: fucked up that are fantastic, but you might not describe
Speaker 2: their right. But I mean, drinking is a different I
Speaker 2: think it's the worst drug. I mean, I really because
Speaker 2: it's so accessible, it's so easy to get, and it's
Speaker 2: so social that you know, I know guys who used
Speaker 2: to drink a lot. They I know guys who do
Speaker 2: coke to stay up longer just so they could drink
Speaker 2: more like a different philosop, you know.
Speaker 1: Just I remember my my brother in law was working construction,
Speaker 1: Mickey O'Rourke. They they would the first stop was the
Speaker 1: beer distributor, you know, to get whatever they were going
Speaker 1: to need for the day, you know, yeah, a couple
Speaker 1: of Budweiser suitcases to bring to the job site.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: I mean, but you know what if your hammer and nails,
Speaker 1: you saw wood, you're doing whatever you're doing, don't it
Speaker 1: with your buddies the dagos. It's not I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not so highly skilled where you know, being a little
Speaker 1: bit buzzed is gonna affect it. I mean, I wouldn't think,
Speaker 1: but you see.
Speaker 2: The Mexican's the day laborers who are putting up apartment
Speaker 2: buildings and you know, doing shit around town. They come
Speaker 2: to work, they're very quiet, you know, they do their work,
Speaker 2: put their heads down, and then at lunch they'll lay
Speaker 2: on someone'st on the corner with like a lawn with
Speaker 2: their beer and a sandwich, little music coming out of
Speaker 2: the back their car, and they're happy and they go
Speaker 2: back to work. I mean, yeah, some cultures do it
Speaker 2: better than others. You know, Native Americans do it better
Speaker 2: than others that there's a lot of alcoholism in them,
Speaker 2: But the Mexicans do. I mean, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: If you get your work done, I suppose it's okay,
Speaker 2: but you get to a certain age where you can't
Speaker 2: function as well, and it's just maybe.
Speaker 1: You know what, maybe it's the It's one good thing
Speaker 1: about the all of this illegal immigration is it's it's
Speaker 1: kept beer sales propped up because because I just don't
Speaker 1: see people drinking that much beer these days.
Speaker 2: No, I don't either, I'm not a better guy.
Speaker 1: You know, my son comes home and they're they're drinking
Speaker 1: old fashions and they're I mean they're they're drinking whiskey,
Speaker 1: they're marguerite. Is It's not like when I was in school,
Speaker 1: we get a keg tapped all day. Guys are drinking
Speaker 1: beer and that's pretty much the only thing. You don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think I had a mixed drink.
Speaker 2: And no, yeah I didn't. I know I didn't. No,
Speaker 2: I was a beer guy. I mean, matter of fact,
Speaker 2: we in West I said, we drank Schmids. I mean
Speaker 2: Mono loved Mano like Schmidts. We drank Schmid's beer and
Speaker 2: we get and we get, we get.
Speaker 1: Rolling, rock rolling, rock rolling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the big one. But we started getting
Speaker 2: mixed drinks. I remember at Baby's Cove melon balls. That
Speaker 2: was the first time I thought, oh, mixed drink, this
Speaker 2: is interesting. Orange juice, got that green li Core Midori
Speaker 2: and vodka. Those a tasty at the Baby's Cove. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I was talking to Mono. He might come up if
Speaker 2: I come down there in August, which I'm really trying
Speaker 2: to do. Him and Jamie. That tell you. There in
Speaker 2: Miami No, I didn't know that. Yeah, they got a
Speaker 2: second place in Miami, and I guess the condo Miami
Speaker 2: in the House of Virginia. But they had no He
Speaker 2: listened to my show Fame. I told him listen to
Speaker 2: this show and he said, I said, if I come,
Speaker 2: he come up. I said, you'll see everybody. It'll be great,
Speaker 2: you know someday. Right, Yeah, where's Galleys Gallagher in the Jupiter? Right,
Speaker 2: so you're close to him? Good and uh no, but
Speaker 2: I think he's Miami. But it's not that far. I
Speaker 2: mean it's it's Miami an hour. Okay, that's no problem.
Speaker 2: But he's almost retiring from the American Airlines.
Speaker 1: Oh he's still flying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna retire like a year a year or so. Uh,
Speaker 2: Jamie can retire from her job. I forget what she's doing,
Speaker 2: but she did. She ended up doing something really really interesting.
Speaker 2: You know it sounds it sounds. It's just like it's
Speaker 2: it's like no days went by in high school. It's
Speaker 2: like when I was three. Talk him and I have
Speaker 2: a different history about different things, and all those stories
Speaker 2: come back. I mean, I have his postcard letters when
Speaker 2: he went to VM I the first year how miserable
Speaker 2: he was. You have to walk along the walls like
Speaker 2: a rat when you're a freshman.
Speaker 1: I visited him cool really because I the drive from
Speaker 1: New York to Nashville goes right through Lexington, Virginia, which
Speaker 1: is where both v M I and and uh Washington
Speaker 1: and Lee are Wow, and so I saw the whole.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like it's like BMI is like a
Speaker 1: freaking prison. And when you're when you're freshman, you're a rat.
Speaker 3: You're a rat, right, And I mean they treat you
Speaker 3: like a rat. I mean, but he had he had
Speaker 3: a little His older brother was there as a senior.
Speaker 3: I think when he was a rat. Yeah, a little
Speaker 3: bit of protection.
Speaker 1: Is tough kid.
Speaker 2: And his brother went there after John too, so there
Speaker 2: were three models in a row. But yeah, man, I
Speaker 2: remember John's father. We were talking. I said, fathers were
Speaker 2: so different back then, Like I'm leaning on Roco. His
Speaker 2: mother is more of a strict person. So, uh, we'll
Speaker 2: be at the house. We go to the beach right
Speaker 2: on the field too, and the follow ago, here's a fireman.
Speaker 2: What about painting that shed? JOHNO dad I painted last weekend,
Speaker 2: painted again, And He's like, I gotta paint the shed
Speaker 2: like it just I don't know why he would do that.
Speaker 2: I don't know why, not like your sung going to
Speaker 2: the beach. But he wasn't me and guy either.
Speaker 1: His mom, who was a teacher, was whenever I was
Speaker 1: over there, and always seen his mom ran the place.
Speaker 2: Everything.
Speaker 1: I mean, she she ran a tight she ran a
Speaker 1: tight ship. But hey, he was. I remember. I don't
Speaker 1: know why we were at Chris Mbo's house, but a
Speaker 1: bunch of us were at Imbo's house and it was
Speaker 1: right along the train tracks, and I am ship faced,
Speaker 1: absolutely ship faced, and I decide I'm going to walk
Speaker 1: home from there, completely ship So I get across the
Speaker 1: train tracks and was it the movie theater that was
Speaker 1: right across from there? Yeah, the movie theater was right there, right.
Speaker 1: So I'm walking around the back of the movie theater
Speaker 1: about to get about to get into the beach. Trees
Speaker 1: beach streets like fields, and I come around a corn
Speaker 1: owner and I am hammered. And the next thing I
Speaker 1: feel is something. I don't know if it was a
Speaker 1: foot or a fist, but something hits me in the
Speaker 1: face and I go down. Well, I yell because because
Speaker 1: Imbo's house is just across the train tracks. The guys
Speaker 1: that kicked me and were about to beat the shit
Speaker 1: out of me, Jesus didn't realize that I had an
Speaker 1: army that was just over the other side of the
Speaker 1: the train tracks. So I literally there are three guys
Speaker 1: around me. I literally break a bottle on the ground
Speaker 1: and I'm holding it up and I end up pustling
Speaker 1: one guy. I sliced my wrist pretty bad on my
Speaker 1: own bottle. Brilliant mic. But Mono and these guys chase
Speaker 1: those three guys down, and obviously I'm not there because
Speaker 1: I'm getting taken to the hospital. And uh uh Mono
Speaker 1: takes some fucking and what do you call it? Uh
Speaker 1: one of those block a cinderblock, Oh my god, and
Speaker 1: breaks the dude's leg with the fucking Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, John was and and Imbo wasn't. Imbo had a
Speaker 2: good physique, he was a strong kid. In Bo wasn't
Speaker 2: a fighter.
Speaker 1: But you know what it was at Imbo's house, he wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was it was Gallagher, It was it was all
Speaker 1: the minute men, as as Frank Dale used to call. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe Paulson, Paul I.
Speaker 2: Was gonna say Paulson because that whole.
Speaker 1: Group that chased these guys down. The restless breaks the
Speaker 1: guys because.
Speaker 2: The dramas drama's five five six five five in high
Speaker 2: school small and you think he wrestled one twenty eight
Speaker 2: or some ship and what's that. Paulson was small and
Speaker 2: Henry Bennett was small. He wasn't a fighter, but John thought.
Speaker 2: They thought they could fight, especially if you're hanging out
Speaker 2: with Squeezy. He was just champion. They could fight anybody.
Speaker 2: John would just shoot the guy a double leg takedown
Speaker 2: and the guy. Once the guy's on the ground, he
Speaker 2: would go to town on the guy. So we went
Speaker 2: to a strip club one night and he's like a
Speaker 2: biker's a gas light, kind of like bikers weren't there,
Speaker 2: and Ship somebody didn't like us being too loud. We're
Speaker 2: a hammered and the guy brings a knife to the
Speaker 2: table to shut us up. So not a big knight,
Speaker 2: but like it's still scary and John just said to
Speaker 2: the guy, John's five to five. He goes, what I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do open my mail with that fucking thing. I
Speaker 2: just punched the guy in the face and it's spilled
Speaker 2: outside and everybody left. But yeah, he was like, he's crazy, crazy,
Speaker 2: he's flying. He's he's now, he's flying here, He's now.
Speaker 2: He's a pilot that takes you to Milan. His roots.
Speaker 2: He goes to Italy and Florence a lot, he said,
Speaker 2: his new roote he used through the Caribbean. Now he's
Speaker 2: going to uh Italy a lot, which is a great route.
Speaker 1: So I could see Mono up front going, you know,
Speaker 1: this fucking flight to eight hours boring a ship. Let's
Speaker 1: just funk with the passengers for a minute, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden just dropped like four hundred and six
Speaker 1: feet I know. Yeah, captain, apologize for Turbul, said Turbul
Speaker 1: until we hit and uh, you know we're looking for
Speaker 1: some smoother you know, just just because he was amazing.
Speaker 1: She can't get away with that as a as a
Speaker 1: power in a commercial airplace, but if you could.
Speaker 2: Would he set me up the one He set me
Speaker 2: up with two flight attendants. They were cute too. Uh.
Speaker 2: They always wanted to go out after the flight. They
Speaker 2: went to New York. Where should we go? You know
Speaker 2: that kind of ship. So he hooked me up with them,
Speaker 2: and I remembered with those one girl Barbara. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: had because John was. We hung out in New York
Speaker 2: one night years ago and we had a lot. We
Speaker 2: had a lot of fun. That's why I was looking
Speaker 2: at prom table. I'm like, you know, as close as
Speaker 2: me and Kenny and Mike, are you guys run at
Speaker 2: my table? Mono was, and I guess you're with Gallagher
Speaker 2: Kenny and I'm not trying to think who else.
Speaker 1: Ronnie was at our table, Ronnie Kenny.
Speaker 2: Like that was weird, like Ronnie Cables. I hung out
Speaker 2: with Ronnie more than you did. That's something I think.
Speaker 1: We just split into two tables. That made sense. It
Speaker 1: was kind of just break up the group. But wait,
Speaker 1: you just made me, just made me think about so
Speaker 1: when you were talking about flight attend So I had
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy I worked with my first two
Speaker 1: years living in Manhattan, who was the funniest freaking guy.
Speaker 1: His name is Aurelius Sophia, right, And this guy he
Speaker 1: called him Stewies. He was he would, yeah, he would.
Speaker 1: He dated a lot of Stewies, so he would hit
Speaker 1: on Stewie's whenever he was on a flight, and he'd
Speaker 1: always be I go, I got some Stewies coming in
Speaker 1: on Friday. You want to this guy had the best
Speaker 1: bar a bit he would he would bring a whistle
Speaker 1: with them to the bar and uh and at midnight,
Speaker 1: if he hadn't picked up a girl yet and it
Speaker 1: hit clock hit midnight, he blow the whistle as loud
Speaker 1: as he could. Everybody in the immediate circle around you
Speaker 1: in the bar would go quiet, and he'd make a
Speaker 1: formal announcement that he was waving one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: pound weight limit on the limit. And it never failed. Now,
Speaker 1: he slept with some chunky girls, but it never every
Speaker 1: single time the guy did it.
Speaker 2: That is hysterical. Most flights were great because back in
Speaker 2: the day, speaking of the Knicks. To round out the show,
Speaker 2: Johnny got to figure his last name a Spanish kid,
Speaker 2: Puerto Rican kid, Johnny Sanchezter. He worked for Continental. So
Speaker 2: whenever I fly, I always take the late flight, you know.
Speaker 2: I'd land in LA for the weekend come back, and
Speaker 2: he'd always be at the airport and he'd take my
Speaker 2: ticket and turn them in the first class. He would
Speaker 2: come to another chick account and he punched some numbers
Speaker 2: up on first class and the payback was I'll get this. No, No,
Speaker 2: there was a city kid, but he worked at Newark Airport.
Speaker 2: So the payback was I'll get you nick tickets. It
Speaker 2: was like ninety three and ninety four, you know, big
Speaker 2: time season, and we kept doing it. He put like
Speaker 2: three of my friends with me first class. I'd get
Speaker 2: him good seats. He was such a so much fun.
Speaker 2: But there was that route we took that I took
Speaker 2: all the time Continental from Newark to LA back to Newark,
Speaker 2: and I knew the same stewardesses all the time. They
Speaker 2: were always there, so it was easy to hook up
Speaker 2: with them. Different world now, bro.
Speaker 1: It is it is all right man, Well we're gonna
Speaker 1: have our boy Kenny back with us next week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're having a major, a major boat fight right now.
Speaker 2: What does he want to I mean, I just put
Speaker 2: down a bunch of money on a Rolls Royce, but
Speaker 2: he could afford a boat. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm splitting it what happened. I'm splitting it with
Speaker 1: him and he but you know, I've discovered there's this
Speaker 1: there's these boat clubs down here, which it's pretty freaking tempting.
Speaker 1: You get for five dollars, you get fifty hours and
Speaker 1: they have a selection of boats. Right, So basically one
Speaker 1: hundred dollars an hour, and so uh and it's good
Speaker 1: last two years. So you have to use up to
Speaker 1: fifty hours in a two year period. They have this
Speaker 1: selection of boats and so literally you go there, you
Speaker 1: kick the boat you want, you take that boat out,
Speaker 1: you're responsible for get or whatever. Yeah, but there's no
Speaker 1: way that that's not a lot cheaper than only in
Speaker 1: your own boat, having to deal with all the bullshit
Speaker 1: that comes with a boat, having a pay for docking
Speaker 1: and everything else. So maybe we just do that.
Speaker 2: That's not bad. Run over fifty hours in a second.
Speaker 2: I mean fifty hours. We used to spend more time
Speaker 2: than one summer and on the climbing and fishing.
Speaker 1: Well, look if you if you if you do something
Speaker 1: where like you get on the boat at eleven, you
Speaker 1: take it to a sandbar, you hang out all day,
Speaker 1: you're drinking everything else, should come back at seven. That's
Speaker 1: eight hours, right, I mean you could only do six
Speaker 1: of those.
Speaker 2: That's what I mean in a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So if you worst case scenario is you
Speaker 1: find out that's not enough hours for you. But I
Speaker 1: think push comes to shove. You never use a boat
Speaker 1: as much as you think you're going to use it.
Speaker 2: You're not fishing. You're not really fishing. You're not going
Speaker 2: out and getting you know, reels, rog and reels like
Speaker 2: we used to. So you're just don't for a pleasure.
Speaker 1: Now, Well, I mean we'll do some we'll do some fishing.
Speaker 1: And they have center they have nice center console boats
Speaker 1: that on like twenty three, twenty five, twenty eight feet.
Speaker 2: That's perfect, that's perfect, you know, and then you don't.
Speaker 1: Have any of the headache.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe we do that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, we'll see all right man,
Speaker 1: Thanks folks, we'll be back at you next time. Happy
Speaker 1: birthday again.
Speaker 2: But yeah, thanks pal, see it all right,
