<v Speaker 1>From Workhouse Connect and aj Benza fame. Uh, he'd liked

2
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>to be walked on a leash and play really dirty,

3
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.519
<v Speaker 1>kinky sex games. He's uh the guy put the cock

4
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>in the peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody aj bens

5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.879
<v Speaker 1>are here with fame, is it? Bitch? This is your

6
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>daily unfiltered podcast for Valentine's Day. Oh to one four

7
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 1>two old two five. Hey man, Valentine's Day, wonderful day.

8
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Hope you sent the flowers off to your loved ones,

9
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>your girl, your wife, your husband, your mother, your fo

10
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.479
<v Speaker 1>who knows? But uh, I like val I like Valentine's Day.

11
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I do. I just think it's a nice thing to, uh,

12
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to get involved with. Not that you have to have

13
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>a date and go for the overpriced dinner and instead

14
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 1>of getting a dozen roses for whatever it is, forty

15
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 1>bucks now because you know eighty five, you know, get

16
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.239
<v Speaker 1>your Valentine's flowers a week a week and a half before. Really,

17
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>it's such bullshit. There's no reason to pay that kind

18
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 1>of money. They just they kill us. Same thing happens

19
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>when Italians cook the seafood dinner during Christmas time. My god,

20
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 1>seafood shoots up to the point where it's like, come on, why.

21
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I understand these shopkeepers need more money and it's a

22
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 1>perfect time to pump up a price. I get it,

23
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know they're all making money. Why why

24
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 1>go after a certain type of person during a certain

25
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>type of holiday. Just doesn't seem right, doesn't seem right. Well,

26
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 1>my flowers went out, and I'm happy to say it

27
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>was not the ridiculous sums of money they charged for

28
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 1>a day or two or four before Valentine's Day, so

29
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you know what, and then she goes would always do

30
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 1>something he called the cheaters, the cheers bouquet. She would

31
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>always come back with flowers from the supermarket for his girlfriend,

32
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 1>because you know, he had to apologize a lot. So

33
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>when you buy your flowers from Ralph's or you know,

34
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Pigley Wiggly, whatever your supermarket chain is, girls could tell

35
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 1>this is not really the flowers, you know, but what

36
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 1>you really want, guys, is a girl that says, don't

37
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>you dare send flowers? Don't you send me anything that's

38
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna die in six days? That's you know, one hundred

39
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and ten dollars. Don't let's just go to dinner with

40
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.080
<v Speaker 1>that money. Meanwhile, one hundred and ten bucks, what does

41
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>that catch your dinner anymore? I mean, really, it's just

42
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago. I took Tutsi down to Money Line Pizza. Right.

43
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 1>We always go there, Me and Andrew and the two

44
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>dogs would eat there. And you know, it's not a

45
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>not a big nut when you eat there. It's a

46
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>pizza joint. But they also have pastas and salads and heroes,

47
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 1>so you sit down. You know, they have something I

48
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>really love called the chef's board. It's got puttshoot, those salami. Uh,

49
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>great cheese is buffalo mudzadel Uh, some peppers on his side,

50
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>Cordny shones. I don't know why I'm saying it so far,

51
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>little fucking pickles. They got things like that that you

52
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>picked on. And they got the great cheese scamouche, which

53
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>I think is really called Cavallo cheese, but we call

54
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>it skimutz because it hangs from the deli counters in

55
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>this wax case and that's kumuz. But you know I

56
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 1>did that, and I'm like, I don't know if she's

57
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you need all that, because who knows. Let me get

58
00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 1>a salad for myself. A Salahatsalami Mudzadel. You know simple regae.

59
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a simple oil and vinegar situation. And then

60
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I go just to make sure she's gonna eat. Let

61
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>me get a little sided grilled chicken one hundred and

62
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty six dollars for me and my dog. Now, look,

63
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 1>I spend no expense for Tutsi, for Tutsi testarosa. But

64
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, if your woman tells you, don't you dare

65
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 1>buy me flowers. Let's just go to dinner with that money,

66
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 1>or let's do something together. You know, she's right, don't

67
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 1>fall into the category. If I've got to get the flowers,

68
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 1>it's voluntarist. Don't do that. Don't do that. I think

69
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>women like when you do things on your own and

70
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>make your own plan and skirt the whole tradition. I

71
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>think that's more sexy, ladies. What do you think now?

72
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 1>Last night I got some shit. I had some shit

73
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 1>last night. I went to Roccos game with my daughter

74
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 1>Roxy and was great. He had a great game. I

75
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 1>think he had twelve points, but it was the way

76
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 1>he played. Some steals, some assists, and the gym was rocking.

77
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.759
<v Speaker 1>It was a home game. These guys are undefeated in

78
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the league, play two more game, one tonight and one

79
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 1>on the fifth on wait, one tonight and one tomorrow,

80
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and I leave on the fifteenth. So he's doing well,

81
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 1>and Roxy's with me, and we're watching him. We hear

82
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 1>the girls behind us calling Rocco's name, like, you know,

83
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>like these cheerleaders are like mentioning his name. You could

84
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>tell they like him. And I said, oh, I never

85
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.959
<v Speaker 1>heard this is great. Roxy thought it was so cute.

86
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>So I felt I did not say this last night, right, No,

87
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I did the no. No. I I tape this before

88
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 1>the game, maybe because I'm playing in my head so much.

89
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I talked about it. But you know,

90
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 1>they're behind us, and I tape me and Roxy on video,

91
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.879
<v Speaker 1>but like I'm angling the camera to get them about

92
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>two or three steps above us on the bleachers. And

93
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I showed people that and apparently I'm a dirty old

94
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 1>man and I shouldn't do that. And what are you

95
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 1>thinking it's so embarrassing. It's not embarrassing. You know. Here's

96
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.199
<v Speaker 1>what I know for a fact, because I've been in

97
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 1>rock those shoes, and I, god do I wish I

98
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>can go back to high school basketball and just dump

99
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 1>me back to a day, a week, a game, a

100
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>bus ride. I want to remember what that was like.

101
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I just, you know, the squeak of the sneakers on

102
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the gym floor brings me right back to that era.

103
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>I see cheerleaders talking and I'm just, oh God, this

104
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.279
<v Speaker 1>is the best I know. I live in the past,

105
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not talking about some guy who was like

106
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 1>the best player on the team. I was all County.

107
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.399
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't me, But I just remember how great it was.

108
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 1>So when I take videos and pictures and I'm already

109
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 1>putting them together to make pictures for Rocco and maybe

110
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 1>even a video for him when the season is completely

111
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>done and I have time get it professionally done, I

112
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>think I'm doing the right thing. He's gonna love to

113
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>see his coach, you know, making fun of them in

114
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.199
<v Speaker 1>the heart a log getting pissed off at one of

115
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the players, and he's gonna even like the fact that

116
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 1>there were a couple of cheerleaders above us who were

117
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>mentioning his name. I don't care what people say. I

118
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.079
<v Speaker 1>know in my heart I'm not filming them because they're

119
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't even want to say it. I'm just filming

120
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>them because they're mentioning my son's name a lot. But

121
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I get cold of dirty old man. This is not

122
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 1>you're embarrassing the kids. Why why? And I told Roxy,

123
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, your father was so crazy like Rocco, Yes

124
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 1>he likes girls, but he's not really vocal about it.

125
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm the one who goes you didn't see the cheerleader

126
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>with the brown hair, with the with the blonde streaks. No,

127
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't know her. She's like this high, this tall,

128
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>this you know. I don't. I don't know who you're

129
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about. I would know every cheerleader. And when God,

130
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>when there were timeouts on the court and me and Kenny,

131
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:13.879
<v Speaker 1>my buddy Marv would sit there and the coach is

132
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 1>telling us what we gotta do in this time out.

133
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>This is very important. I want number two going here

134
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>for is gonna cut across. It should be an open layup.

135
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>And all we're doing is looking at the cheerleader's Sue

136
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and Nino, Jamie Powers, Jennifer Stewart, Kathy Craiger. And there

137
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:33.679
<v Speaker 1>was a drill down a drill. There was a cheer

138
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 1>where they bent over and yelled our names out. And

139
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>when the hot cheerleader like Sue or Kathy or Jamie

140
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 1>or Lisa Royd. It was another one. My goodness, she

141
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 1>ended up marrying Mike Cestaro, the half back on our

142
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:51.879
<v Speaker 1>football team. When they called your name, oh my god,

143
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 1>it was everything. I don't know. These kids don't seem

144
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:00.080
<v Speaker 1>to I don't know what it is to me. That

145
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.840
<v Speaker 1>was everything I told you in the past. I used

146
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>to have my friend Ronnie Misseli go across the court.

147
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.759
<v Speaker 1>I'd say, commute, see that girl four steps up to

148
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the right of the girl in the purple, get her number.

149
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Tell a number forty four wants to call it. I

150
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>had all the numbers on my sneakers. You know. The

151
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.720
<v Speaker 1>narcissism was gross. But had a ball, had a bull.

152
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>But am I wrong to want to tape that stuff

153
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 1>for prosperity? I don't think so. Not enough is said

154
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.960
<v Speaker 1>for not only fathers who make every game, but fathers

155
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 1>who end up watching every game through one eye or

156
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 1>through a camera lens. Not enough is said because if

157
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.799
<v Speaker 1>somebody else was taping the whole game, I wouldn't bother.

158
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I'd be right there, two eyes on every play. But no,

159
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.559
<v Speaker 1>I've got to work the camera. Delete something that was

160
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.679
<v Speaker 1>in a good play, Exit out, come back, you know,

161
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>record again. It's it's a little daunting, but it's worth

162
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 1>it anyhow. I don't even know if we're going to

163
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 1>be here in the next seven years. You've heard about

164
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 1>this killer asteroid coming. It's called a city Killer. Why

165
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>are four twenty twenty four. They say it could hit Earth,

166
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>it might even hit the Moon. But then when you

167
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.639
<v Speaker 1>get to the fine print, they go, well, it's just

168
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>over a two percent impact probability on Earth. Okay, then

169
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:32.519
<v Speaker 1>should we really be worrying about this. It's the size

170
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and they say it

171
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>would have around a one and forty eight chance of

172
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 1>striking the Earth on December twenty second, twenty thirty two.

173
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:51.679
<v Speaker 1>So forget climate change, forget anything else. You're worried about

174
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the city Killer, the asteroid that's apparently coming here. And

175
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>if it hits the moon, well, I mean, Denver can

176
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>completely screwed. But they're doing simulations on YouTube what have you.

177
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>If you look at it, be careful to look at

178
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.639
<v Speaker 1>it because it's very scary. You know, It's just it's

179
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:17.039
<v Speaker 1>like a goddamn Roland Emeric film. It's just a disaster flick.

180
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 1>You gotta be careful when you watch this. But something

181
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that has a two percent chance of hitting us, that

182
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>would be like me warning you I might start dating

183
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 1>beyond cosen. Sorry, why, well, I think I got a

184
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:35.120
<v Speaker 1>two percent chance if I get nearer. So, but the

185
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.840
<v Speaker 1>newspapers love putting this shit out there because you know

186
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it is what. It is so biblically raining here in

187
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles, and it's been raining for a week or so.

188
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:54.000
<v Speaker 1>But today I have to go into my storage unit jackets.

189
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 1>I have a couple of leathers that I have to

190
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>wear because you can't wear a hoodie out there. You

191
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>your hoodie gets soaked. It's bad. It's really raining hard,

192
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know. I wanted to call. Yesterday, I

193
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 1>had a guy come in and fix my ceiling fan

194
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 1>in the dining room. The cord broke off inside the

195
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.639
<v Speaker 1>whole unit. And he came and he did his thing,

196
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and I gave him twenty bucks. He's like, look twenty no,

197
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I said, come on, take it, No, I saides, come on,

198
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:29.639
<v Speaker 1>I believe in the twenty dollar bill. I believe in

199
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.159
<v Speaker 1>that for years. When you see a bartender, you're give

200
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:34.399
<v Speaker 1>him that ahead of time. So when he sees you coming,

201
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>makes your drink right away. I believed that with Dormant.

202
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:40.759
<v Speaker 1>I always give a doorman twenty bucks. Sometimes, when I

203
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 1>was really being an asshole, I would have Chico give

204
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.840
<v Speaker 1>him the money instead of me, because I thought I

205
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 1>was Frank Sinatra and Chico was Jilly. I know it's stupid,

206
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.919
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, Palla corrupts whatever you want to say. But yeah,

207
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>it's awful out here today, And I'm like, do I

208
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:02.480
<v Speaker 1>even call the handyman to come back? Because the fan

209
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>was fixed? But it's only fixed in the sense that

210
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.720
<v Speaker 1>it comes on, but only one speed, the fast speed

211
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:14.159
<v Speaker 1>where the fan is shaken and napkins blow off your table.

212
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 1>The other two speeds then I fixed. Do I clone back?

213
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:22.919
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's like, I feel like you come

214
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>here and think, what an asshole You're worried about the

215
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.799
<v Speaker 1>speed of your fan. I don't know. I'm up in

216
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.159
<v Speaker 1>the air about it. But nothing's gonna happen today. But

217
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 1>this rain here's something I'm thrilled about. A lot of

218
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>people thought Marvel Studios was really going to get back

219
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.559
<v Speaker 1>to making fewer films but more high quality films. Right.

220
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.279
<v Speaker 1>That was the edict, That was the word and now

221
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>apparently people who've seen Captain America Brave New World, the

222
00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:03.200
<v Speaker 1>word is out. It's absolute shit. It's very, very dire

223
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 1>over there at that studio because the Great well, I

224
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.039
<v Speaker 1>want to say the great, I mean in his mind,

225
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the Great Anthony Mackie. This is his first big screen

226
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>crack at Captain America. And no, it's awful. And I

227
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>could have told you it was awful. Matter of fact,

228
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I said it a week ago on the show. No

229
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>one wants to see a black Captain America. I'm sorry.

230
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.159
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't make me a racist, that just makes me

231
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:38.279
<v Speaker 1>cognizant of people's opinions. I don't even think black people

232
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>are calling for a black Captain America. I really don't.

233
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:47.679
<v Speaker 1>But there we go, movie studios. I just think, enough

234
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>with the superhero comic book movies. Stop feeding the nerds.

235
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.799
<v Speaker 1>You've gotten enough. You've gotten more than your fair share

236
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.919
<v Speaker 1>of movies that you know, I know, made you shut

237
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the door in your room and hold up that comic

238
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 1>book with one hand. I know. But this shit movie

239
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>is really important because Captain America films on their own,

240
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:19.759
<v Speaker 1>I understand, do very well. But this one they're saying

241
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>is the worst by a wide margin. I'm not gonna

242
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.919
<v Speaker 1>say it's only because he's black. I'm not gonna go

243
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:32.559
<v Speaker 1>that far. But I just think they're going to the

244
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:40.559
<v Speaker 1>well too often. And you just can't plugging people into

245
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:45.320
<v Speaker 1>a superhero role because you want to satisfy DEI standards.

246
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.919
<v Speaker 1>And that's exactly what this was about. And a guy

247
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:54.039
<v Speaker 1>like you know, Mackie, isn't going to admit that, because

248
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>then he'd have to know that, well, I'm not really

249
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.440
<v Speaker 1>good enough, but they needed somebody black in that spot.

250
00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:04.559
<v Speaker 1>He asked to know that. Come on, man, it's it's ridiculous.

251
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.759
<v Speaker 1>They got a guy in this movie that's supposed to

252
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>be the comic relief. He's not stupid jokes like should

253
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I make your phone tech larger? Really? Who wrote that joke? Christ?

254
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.120
<v Speaker 1>It's so bad? And of course you got Harrison Ford

255
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:28.279
<v Speaker 1>in there. You know what, Harrison Ford replaces William Hurt.

256
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.399
<v Speaker 1>The both of these guys, as great as they were

257
00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties, they're not great anymore. They mail it

258
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.919
<v Speaker 1>in now, William Hurt and Harrison Ford. And this is

259
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:45.000
<v Speaker 1>not like to put them down. They've always only been themselves.

260
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Costa plays Kevin cost Harrison plays himself. William Hurt

261
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>does as well. When you go to some other actors

262
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.039
<v Speaker 1>who changed their face, they look, their accent, their walk.

263
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:58.159
<v Speaker 1>That's a different kind of actor. I like those actors

264
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 1>way better. Harrison Ford now is an eighty year old

265
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.680
<v Speaker 1>man who you can tell maybe he has his wits

266
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>about him when he's hanging out with his wife. I

267
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know, just being his typical wry self. Could be

268
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a fun guy to sit around with. But you throw

269
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:20.440
<v Speaker 1>him in a movie or a TV show, I can't

270
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:25.599
<v Speaker 1>watch what's it called shrinked? I can't. I can't watch it.

271
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I just know that Harrison Ford is doing it for

272
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.559
<v Speaker 1>the money now, for the paycheck. His heart, his passion

273
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:36.720
<v Speaker 1>is no longer wrapped up in acting. So he's in there,

274
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:42.799
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, Look, Harrison Ford had a tremendous run.

275
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>He was very good in the eighties, tolerable in the nineties.

276
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.119
<v Speaker 1>We don't need him now, we just don't. We've got

277
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.039
<v Speaker 1>to stop acting like he's sorely needed in movies. He's

278
00:17:54.079 --> 00:18:00.640
<v Speaker 1>not water Break, which sounds weird with all this water down.

279
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:05.079
<v Speaker 1>But oh, by the way, I wanted to tell you

280
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.559
<v Speaker 1>more about Chelsea Handler. Yesterday I began to tell you,

281
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and I kind of pewed it out, but I really

282
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.400
<v Speaker 1>listened to the podcast with her on Armchair Expert and

283
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:20.039
<v Speaker 1>really got to like her for just how silly she

284
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:22.640
<v Speaker 1>can be and the thing she says to people that

285
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.200
<v Speaker 1>the prank she plays on people, and she plays some

286
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:28.599
<v Speaker 1>big pranks. When you've got a lot of money, you

287
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>can do huge pranks that last a long time. And

288
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:35.799
<v Speaker 1>it reminded me of this is kind of in vogue

289
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:42.039
<v Speaker 1>now because Kanye West has a website that's selling one item.

290
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:49.599
<v Speaker 1>It's a Nazi swastika T shirt, white background, black swastika.

291
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't want it. I'm not a Nazi. I love

292
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the Jewish people. The Nazis were fucking awful, but there's

293
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:01.160
<v Speaker 1>something in me that wants the shirt. It has nothing

294
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to do with my feelings towards the Jewish faith. I

295
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:06.680
<v Speaker 1>love my Jewish friends. In fact, I put them right

296
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:09.400
<v Speaker 1>after Italians. I really do. We have a lot in

297
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.799
<v Speaker 1>common with family and this and that, And I wish

298
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:14.599
<v Speaker 1>my family had more jew in that. I wish my

299
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.400
<v Speaker 1>father and mother knew had more Jewish qualities. I'd know

300
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:20.799
<v Speaker 1>more about money, I know about the market. That the

301
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:22.759
<v Speaker 1>market in our house was where they were selling the

302
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.559
<v Speaker 1>best steak, the best plant. That was the market talk.

303
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.279
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't about what's what's what does this cost? Now?

304
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:32.240
<v Speaker 1>How much is this? It's a different world. So it's

305
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:36.720
<v Speaker 1>not about me being anti Jewish. No, but why is

306
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:40.559
<v Speaker 1>it I want that swastika shirt. Obviously it can never

307
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:44.519
<v Speaker 1>be worn, just like my Trump shirt got me PEPPI

308
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:50.480
<v Speaker 1>sprayed and punched the swastika shirt. No, of course, not horrible,

309
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.799
<v Speaker 1>but I do harken back to that dinner I had

310
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:57.680
<v Speaker 1>years ago in New York City with a guy named

311
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.799
<v Speaker 1>Ralph Schaller who was a big execut well not exactly.

312
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:05.240
<v Speaker 1>He owned a meat company Shaller. I think it was

313
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Shallar meats, like you know, the best beef, pork veal.

314
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Ralph Shaler supplied so many New York restaurants and stores

315
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:20.160
<v Speaker 1>with the best coal cotts, the best steaks, the best everything.

316
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:23.359
<v Speaker 1>So we go to his house for dinner. He's a

317
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:27.680
<v Speaker 1>wild man, and I knew that he was an avid hunter,

318
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean a big like big game elephants and shit,

319
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:36.039
<v Speaker 1>that kind of hunter. And I know that he would

320
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 1>beg these animals and drain them of their blood, and

321
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.680
<v Speaker 1>he would ship the blood to the artist Peter Beard, who,

322
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>if you don't know, used to do a lot of

323
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.799
<v Speaker 1>artwork with smeared blood instead of paint. And that blood

324
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.279
<v Speaker 1>was animal blood. Well it was supplied by Ralph Sharlow.

325
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:58.359
<v Speaker 1>So I get to Schalla's place on the Upper east Side,

326
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:02.559
<v Speaker 1>beautiful building with a white building with one red door

327
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:07.200
<v Speaker 1>like Elizabeth Arden, just a red door, and everything in

328
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:13.279
<v Speaker 1>this apartment was so wrong or illegal or both. I mean,

329
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at end tables that are are you a

330
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.000
<v Speaker 1>plate of glass, but they're being held up with a

331
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:27.200
<v Speaker 1>gigantic elephant foot real taxidermy elephant, if you forget the

332
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 1>size of the elk and the moose and everything else

333
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.000
<v Speaker 1>on his wall. He had a great room in Manhattan.

334
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 1>It's a three story townhouse that would just marvel any

335
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:39.400
<v Speaker 1>hunt or anywhere in America. And on top of that

336
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:42.960
<v Speaker 1>is if that's not enough. At one point he says,

337
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:46.759
<v Speaker 1>I got to show you guys something, and he takes

338
00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 1>us around the corner from the kitchen into the dining

339
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:52.519
<v Speaker 1>room and there's his back wall where there's a long

340
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:57.440
<v Speaker 1>picture about three feet long and about ten inches high.

341
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.839
<v Speaker 1>Because it's a group shot, it's a big group shot,

342
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.359
<v Speaker 1>not of a ball club, but of a klu Klux

343
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:09.519
<v Speaker 1>ku klux Klan rally. Ku klux did I say ku

344
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:12.440
<v Speaker 1>kux Klan? I used to say klu klux Klan as

345
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>a kid, Ku kux Klan meeting with the hoods and

346
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the torches and a tree with the noose and a

347
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.799
<v Speaker 1>person hanging in from that tree. It was very unsettling.

348
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Nobody would want that art or that picture in the house.

349
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:35.319
<v Speaker 1>But can I tell you something. I couldn't stop looking

350
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:39.000
<v Speaker 1>at it because I couldn't believe that this country was

351
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:44.720
<v Speaker 1>ever at a point like that. What they call strange fruit.

352
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Billy Howell, they called black folks that hung from trees

353
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.440
<v Speaker 1>strange fruit. That's why that song I didn't know. As

354
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:54.400
<v Speaker 1>a kid. I loved the song, but I didn't know

355
00:22:54.480 --> 00:23:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what it meant. You can't want the picture, but

356
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:05.039
<v Speaker 1>there's something about it that I wanted to keep looking

357
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:09.799
<v Speaker 1>at it. And then the piece the resist stones said

358
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:15.519
<v Speaker 1>the Frenchman looked under your plates that were eating That

359
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:20.079
<v Speaker 1>china you have under it had a Nazi symbol. It

360
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:26.200
<v Speaker 1>was china from Hitler, not from him specifically, but it

361
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.839
<v Speaker 1>was Nazi China. Even that china had the swastika on

362
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the bottom. Wow. I mean, we weren't told ahead of time,

363
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>we weren't warned, we knew he was eccentric, et cetera.

364
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:43.279
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, man, crazy, crazy. I forget why I got

365
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>to this point with Uh. I was talking about Chelsea

366
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Handler and different, oh, different things she's doing and the

367
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:54.279
<v Speaker 1>way okay here, I know why Kanye has been just

368
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:58.759
<v Speaker 1>talking Jewish hate and Nazi love and he just will

369
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:02.160
<v Speaker 1>not quit. And it reminds me of when me and

370
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Michael Lwoit is that the New York Daily News would

371
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:07.799
<v Speaker 1>just feel like being a couple of pricks, and we'd

372
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.920
<v Speaker 1>be in an elevator headed down, and when someone walked

373
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:16.359
<v Speaker 1>in the elevator, we would do this ridiculous back and

374
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 1>forth where there'd be silenced for a second or two,

375
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.119
<v Speaker 1>and then Michael or myself would say, I get the

376
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 1>fact that you think Hitler was misunderstood. I completely understand

377
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.880
<v Speaker 1>that point. MY only argument toward that, and then the

378
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.000
<v Speaker 1>doors would open up and we walk out as if

379
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:36.720
<v Speaker 1>we were having a really, really good discussion about Hitler.

380
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.920
<v Speaker 1>It was so crazy, but we heard people huffing and

381
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.400
<v Speaker 1>puffing as we left, or we'd walk in an elevator

382
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:47.359
<v Speaker 1>as people were there are really, Is that right? Yeah? No,

383
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I know he was a painter, but I didn't know

384
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Hitler was such a great painter with it was watercolor.

385
00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh my god. Matter of fact, his watercolor pictures

386
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:00.000
<v Speaker 1>should be in a goddamn museum. That's how wonderful hit

387
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 1>was is a painter, Sistra Floor. I mean, we drove

388
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:06.920
<v Speaker 1>people crazy, but we also did something that made only

389
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.359
<v Speaker 1>us laugh, and I love it to this day. When

390
00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:11.519
<v Speaker 1>we had an enemy of the column or someone that

391
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:13.640
<v Speaker 1>said something about the column we didn't like. You know,

392
00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:16.759
<v Speaker 1>we used to do or I used to send them

393
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:23.680
<v Speaker 1>canned hams. I don't know what they cast back then,

394
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:28.039
<v Speaker 1>twelve bucks whatever it was or not only canned hams.

395
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:31.240
<v Speaker 1>When a person gets them, can you imagine their face?

396
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:36.079
<v Speaker 1>What am I who? And there's no return address, just

397
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a canned ham in your mail. And then on top

398
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:46.799
<v Speaker 1>of that, we'd send we'd find these magazines where you could,

399
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:51.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, subscribe to magazines and which magazines would you like?

400
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:54.519
<v Speaker 1>And you pay whatever, twenty bucks, fifteen bucks a month

401
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.039
<v Speaker 1>whatever it was, not even a month, probably thirty bucks

402
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.599
<v Speaker 1>a year back then, and we pick out the worst

403
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:04.960
<v Speaker 1>magazines for someone to want to read. Same day surgery,

404
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:11.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, hot rods or the stupidest things, and then

405
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.400
<v Speaker 1>we'd send it to somebody we hate. So they always

406
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:20.960
<v Speaker 1>got these magazines or they got a can Ham. I

407
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.680
<v Speaker 1>love being in charge of ship back then, even we

408
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:25.559
<v Speaker 1>used to do this thing where you know, back then

409
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:28.839
<v Speaker 1>there was people needed press for a book they wrote.

410
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:31.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you write a book, you feel so

411
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:36.039
<v Speaker 1>empty and lost. You need publicity. People have to talk

412
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:39.799
<v Speaker 1>about the book. And back in the day, there wasn't

413
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:44.440
<v Speaker 1>many avenues to publicize your book. You would hope that

414
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 1>a newspaper would do an interview with you and that

415
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:50.319
<v Speaker 1>would make it. Oh, it would be so great. My

416
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:54.519
<v Speaker 1>book got written about and people are reading the paper.

417
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Even when I wrote my second book that I was

418
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:03.160
<v Speaker 1>interviewed from my own hometown paper Newsday. That stuff means

419
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:06.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Nowadays, you just put it on social media.

420
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:08.440
<v Speaker 1>You get all their hits and clicks and like you need.

421
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:13.079
<v Speaker 1>But back then, we used to have thirty forty books

422
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:15.559
<v Speaker 1>a week that would land in our cubicle in our

423
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.799
<v Speaker 1>mail room. How do we what do we do with

424
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:21.640
<v Speaker 1>these books? So we decided to just open them up

425
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and take the most ridiculous, boring, stupid, passage in a

426
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:37.039
<v Speaker 1>book that meant nothing, and write that, include that little

427
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:40.279
<v Speaker 1>clip from the book, and say, let's say the book

428
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:43.160
<v Speaker 1>is called Anchors Away, Anchors Away, We'll hit Newsday, we'll

429
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:46.559
<v Speaker 1>hit the Bonds and Noble Tuesday. Here's a snippet, and

430
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:50.880
<v Speaker 1>it would be the worst. It could be a book

431
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.119
<v Speaker 1>about like Pearl Harbor and the excerpt would be so

432
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 1>Then we walked toward Jimmy's locker, knowing full well it

433
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:00.839
<v Speaker 1>would be empty. But what else we do at a

434
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.839
<v Speaker 1>time like this? And people were looking, go, why would

435
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I buy a buck that this is not exciting at all?

436
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Am I the only person who would

437
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.759
<v Speaker 1>do things to just excite myself? I don't care who

438
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>was looking. But I love Chelsea Handler. This is why

439
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:19.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm starting to love her. Forget the politics that this

440
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:22.400
<v Speaker 1>was twenty five thirty years ago. We never know who

441
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:25.279
<v Speaker 1>she voted for. We would just like her free spirit.

442
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:29.079
<v Speaker 1>So I'm trying to get back to that. And I

443
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:31.799
<v Speaker 1>love what she did when she broke up with the

444
00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:36.759
<v Speaker 1>big hotel owner Andre BelAZ. This guy's worth millions and

445
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:39.839
<v Speaker 1>millions of dollars. They dated in twenty eleven and twenty

446
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:47.039
<v Speaker 1>thirteen and when they broke up, and this guy owned

447
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Chateau Marmont, the stand Dard, which I mentioned the other day,

448
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:57.079
<v Speaker 1>the Mercer Hotel in New York, Chiltern Firehouse, major, major money,

449
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 1>and they had a very toxic relatetionationship, according to Chelsea,

450
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:05.039
<v Speaker 1>and she would look through his phone because he'd be

451
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:08.480
<v Speaker 1>out late because he worked in restaurants and clubs. And

452
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I know how girls get. I've had my phone look through.

453
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:14.839
<v Speaker 1>It sucks. It's the worst. But sometimes women who do

454
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that put themselves in their own prison. And I would

455
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.480
<v Speaker 1>tell them, you got yourself locked up in a prison.

456
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the key for you didn't need to

457
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:24.480
<v Speaker 1>go through my drawers and look at old pictures of girlfriends.

458
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:27.359
<v Speaker 1>You did that. You're in a cell. I don't have

459
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:31.039
<v Speaker 1>the key. But whatever, she had a reason to feel

460
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:35.599
<v Speaker 1>that way, so woman's intuition wins out sometimes. Anyhow, she

461
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:39.200
<v Speaker 1>got so angry at him and unhinged during a breakup.

462
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:43.839
<v Speaker 1>He had this gigantic estate in upstate New York, and

463
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:48.960
<v Speaker 1>she went online and found thirty five Linden trees that

464
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:55.240
<v Speaker 1>she imported from Germany, very extravagant, and she bought them

465
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and had these people plant them on his estate seventeen

466
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.240
<v Speaker 1>on either side of the driveway as it leads up

467
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:08.839
<v Speaker 1>to his you know, insane compound. And every year she

468
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:12.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't know the leaves had such beautiful blooms. Every year

469
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:14.799
<v Speaker 1>the leaves would change and then bloom and it would

470
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:17.559
<v Speaker 1>be so gorgeous, and andre Blase would always call her

471
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:21.119
<v Speaker 1>and say, you know, I can't believe I lost you.

472
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to come up and see your trees?

473
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And she'd say, Nope, not interested. I mean, it's cold hearted.

474
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:35.160
<v Speaker 1>It's also fun to be that unbridled and just don't

475
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:38.119
<v Speaker 1>not give a shit and have the money to have

476
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the fuck you money to do that to somebody. That's

477
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:43.839
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun. I wish I could get to

478
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>that point one day. I would love to do something

479
00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:50.319
<v Speaker 1>that grandiose. The most we did back when we were

480
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:53.839
<v Speaker 1>kids was take a four sales on someone else's lawn

481
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:57.720
<v Speaker 1>or better yet, an open house signed and put it

482
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:01.759
<v Speaker 1>on some poor, unsuspecting people lawns and they have no idea.

483
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:04.000
<v Speaker 1>We'd throw a couple of balloons with strings on the

484
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.519
<v Speaker 1>sign and its people would show up at noon, and

485
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:12.000
<v Speaker 1>these poor people had no idea what to do. Sometimes

486
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.240
<v Speaker 1>you just got to amuse yourself because people around you

487
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:20.880
<v Speaker 1>just aren't that amusing, but you guys are always amusing.

488
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Cutting the show a little bit short. Thirty one oh

489
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:26.799
<v Speaker 1>eight got to go to Rocos second to last game,

490
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and wow, I can't believe it. Tomorrow, well, Friday night

491
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:38.640
<v Speaker 1>is his last game. And I went so fast that

492
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:42.359
<v Speaker 1>I just can't wait for a place for him to

493
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:46.240
<v Speaker 1>play in the postseason and doing all over again next

494
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:50.279
<v Speaker 1>year on varsity. What a great what a great gift

495
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:54.559
<v Speaker 1>that was. And oh, by the way, as I'm at

496
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the gym last night watching his game, this kid comes

497
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:03.160
<v Speaker 1>up to me, look different, kind of familiar, coach, And

498
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, there's something about being called coach that

499
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:09.359
<v Speaker 1>just melts your heart. And it's this kid who was

500
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:13.839
<v Speaker 1>so great with Rocco. Him and his brother were the

501
00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:18.279
<v Speaker 1>best tandem every season. I drafted them both, Lucas and

502
00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Eli Gonzalez, the Gonzales twins, Speedy Gonzales, we called them.

503
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 1>They were great, and I'm like, what are you doing, buddy,

504
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:29.119
<v Speaker 1>And he's like a bigger kid. Now, you know, he's seventeen,

505
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>he's not thirteen or twelve anymore. But I would draft

506
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Lucas and Eli first, because if you get one kid,

507
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you got to get the brother. That's the rule in

508
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.440
<v Speaker 1>little league sports. So I already had Roco. My first

509
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:44.960
<v Speaker 1>pick would always be the Twins, and I felt I

510
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:47.680
<v Speaker 1>got all I need. And then one year I got

511
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:51.160
<v Speaker 1>this kid named Jagger, who Lucas and Eli told me

512
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I should get. He's a good left handed quarterback, which

513
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:57.640
<v Speaker 1>is not too common. I draft, I take the kid.

514
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:01.519
<v Speaker 1>We had a great few seasons. Lucas was so good.

515
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:03.119
<v Speaker 1>If he had to leave early because he had a

516
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.440
<v Speaker 1>baseball game, I let him. He played one half then split,

517
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.960
<v Speaker 1>but we'd have a twenty ninthing lead. I said to

518
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Lucas last night, how where's Uh's Jagger? Jagger's great. Jagger's

519
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:18.680
<v Speaker 1>here at North Hollywood. He's quarterback. They were ten and zero.

520
00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I said, you kid me. He goes, yeah, he's great,

521
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and then he goes, you know what. Whenever I whenever

522
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:28.039
<v Speaker 1>I look at that that record and know that Jagger

523
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.079
<v Speaker 1>was the best on the team, I always wish man

524
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:33.319
<v Speaker 1>if me and Rocco signed up, the three of us

525
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:37.279
<v Speaker 1>could have just been crazy together. I said, I know, Lucas,

526
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.319
<v Speaker 1>I just I want to rock her to play football.

527
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:44.440
<v Speaker 1>But his mom put the put the concussion thing in

528
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:47.039
<v Speaker 1>his head and he didn't want to do it, but

529
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:51.119
<v Speaker 1>uh I miss it. But man, there's nothing better than

530
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.359
<v Speaker 1>being called coach and a kid remembers you and hugs

531
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you twice because he remembers how fun it was to

532
00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:00.279
<v Speaker 1>win and to learn how to play the game. But

533
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the way I coached wedding came first and we won.

534
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm aj Benza. That was your daily Unfiltered podcast for
