Fame is a Bitch with AJ Benza

WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.190 --> 00:00:02.410
AJ Benza, the OG in gossip.
2
00:00:02.450 --> 00:00:05.459
A couple days into 2025, it's sort of panning out
3
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:08.519
to be a very scary year already. So let's get
4
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:10.599
into some of the top stories that are happening right now.
5
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.289
If you saw Joe Biden talk about the New Orleans bomber.
6
00:00:14.390 --> 00:00:17.289
It's like sending your grandfather up to make a speech
7
00:00:17.350 --> 00:00:19.010
at the wedding and he can barely talk.
8
00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:21.070
Blake Lively. and Justin Baldoni.
9
00:00:21.210 --> 00:00:23.519
I mean, this feud just gets worse and worse.
10
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.679
Now, I don't like Justin Baldoni at all. This guy,
11
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:28.170
to me, came out of nowhere. I think he's a put-on.
12
00:00:28.289 --> 00:00:29.289
Meghan Markle.
13
00:00:29.429 --> 00:00:32.369
She announced she's going to be doing a Netflix show.
14
00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:35.200
Everything they've done, her and Harry has just... went in
15
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:36.820
the shitter, nothing went out.
16
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.560
AJ, why does everybody hate Kristen Cavallari?
17
00:00:39.619 --> 00:00:42.420
The fact that she's so open about her sexual conquest,
18
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.070
and this guy was my fuck buddy, and this Morgan
19
00:00:45.109 --> 00:00:47.250
Wallen was great in bed. When a man hears a
20
00:00:47.310 --> 00:00:50.090
girl talk like that, it makes you go, whoa, Jesus Christ.
21
00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:52.729
The irony of the Diddy Trials, it's gonna start the
22
00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:55.799
same day as the Met Ball. It's gonna be amazing.
23
00:00:55.939 --> 00:00:58.659
I still have a sinking feeling that he's not gonna
24
00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:00.479
get the kind of time he deserves.
25
00:01:45.019 --> 00:01:47.159
Guys, we have a really fun episode today. We are
26
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.200
back with A.J. Benza, the OG in gossip. A.J., thank
27
00:01:50.219 --> 00:01:52.040
you for joining us on Misunderstood.
28
00:01:52.469 --> 00:01:56.849
Thanks, sweetheart. You know what? Ever since you're the first
29
00:01:56.930 --> 00:01:59.129
person to call me the OG of gossip, and I
30
00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:02.670
love that expression. So don't ask me how. I was
31
00:02:02.689 --> 00:02:05.420
at a garage sale, and I found these blocks of
32
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.500
letters some person was selling in Hollywood with like a
33
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.409
mirror surface saying, So I bought the O and I
34
00:02:12.449 --> 00:02:14.889
bought the G and I put them up above my
35
00:02:14.949 --> 00:02:17.879
bedroom door. OG. I love it.
36
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.680
And I find it hard to believe that I'm the
37
00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:21.340
first person.
38
00:02:21.500 --> 00:02:24.879
I swear to God. Well, you know, I guess you
39
00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:27.139
think I'm old. I don't know. No, I'm kidding. No,
40
00:02:27.340 --> 00:02:27.919
it's good.
41
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.400
No, but the thing is, is I think there was
42
00:02:29.419 --> 00:02:31.539
a lot of jealousy that went on in your day
43
00:02:31.590 --> 00:02:31.879
and age.
44
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:33.139
Oh yeah. Oh my God.
45
00:02:33.150 --> 00:02:35.789
People would really want to have that as a coveted title.
46
00:02:35.810 --> 00:02:38.550
I love it. I love being called the OG, but no,
47
00:02:38.610 --> 00:02:40.050
no one ever called me that. You were the first
48
00:02:40.090 --> 00:02:41.750
to say it. I love it. I love it. All right.
49
00:02:41.870 --> 00:02:43.389
Well, I love that I coined it. You did.
50
00:02:43.409 --> 00:02:43.849
You did.
51
00:02:43.870 --> 00:02:45.870
All right.
52
00:02:45.949 --> 00:02:48.280
AJ is here to talk to us about all things
53
00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:51.240
gossip right now. We are already a couple of days
54
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.469
into 2025. It's sort of panning out. to be like
55
00:02:55.550 --> 00:02:58.449
a very scary year already we got terrorist attacks we
56
00:02:58.490 --> 00:03:01.870
have gun shootings we have lawsuits we have all sorts
57
00:03:01.930 --> 00:03:04.909
of drama so we didn't like slide into this year
58
00:03:05.030 --> 00:03:08.689
with this easy peaceful demure you know attitude what are
59
00:03:08.729 --> 00:03:09.969
your thoughts so far in the year.
60
00:03:10.310 --> 00:03:13.990
Well look 2024 and if i'm being really honest the
61
00:03:14.030 --> 00:03:16.750
last four years to me were a complete crap show
62
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.080
in america and hollywood So I didn't, I'm not surprised
63
00:03:22.099 --> 00:03:24.879
that we're sliding into 2025. We slid into the new
64
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.719
year with some problems because I think that's been par
65
00:03:28.750 --> 00:03:32.009
for the course. If you saw Joe Biden talk about
66
00:03:32.469 --> 00:03:37.310
the new Orleans bomber, it's just, it's, it's like sending
67
00:03:37.349 --> 00:03:39.909
your grandfather up to make a speech at the wedding
68
00:03:39.969 --> 00:03:42.280
and he can barely talk. And I'm not, I don't
69
00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:44.879
want to be an ageist, but he just doesn't need
70
00:03:44.939 --> 00:03:48.509
to speak anymore. And of course, we're going to find
71
00:03:48.729 --> 00:03:51.949
trouble before the year really kicks off. To me, 2025
72
00:03:51.949 --> 00:03:57.180
doesn't kick off until Trump gets up on that inauguration
73
00:03:57.219 --> 00:04:00.020
stage and make his speech. Then I think we're really
74
00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:06.210
in 2025. Up until then, this is still Biden's country, unfortunately. Right.
75
00:04:06.289 --> 00:04:07.169
I hear what you're saying.
76
00:04:07.610 --> 00:04:10.080
Do you think that it's going to be an issue
77
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:14.780
come January 20th? Meaning, do you think this handover is
78
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.879
all of a sudden going to be a big bang
79
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:18.879
and everything is going to get moving and people are
80
00:04:18.899 --> 00:04:20.759
going to start getting deported? I feel like there's a
81
00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:24.560
lot of anxiety that's heading into what January 20th is
82
00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:25.459
going to mean for everybody.
83
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.149
I'll tell you, in my mind, I was the first
84
00:04:29.209 --> 00:04:33.079
person to battle Donald Trump 25 years ago I know
85
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.019
how he fights. I know what kind of man he is.
86
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.220
I used to hate him. Now I love him. And
87
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.139
I'm not surprised by any of this. I think this
88
00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:43.019
is the way it was going to go. And I
89
00:04:43.110 --> 00:04:46.589
do think that once he's here, he's going to kick
90
00:04:46.670 --> 00:04:48.910
off what he said he's going to do with deportations,
91
00:04:48.949 --> 00:04:54.610
which are so needed and other things. I just appreciate
92
00:04:54.649 --> 00:04:56.800
the way he takes, takes hold of things and gets
93
00:04:56.860 --> 00:05:00.870
things done as quickly as he can. So I'm not nervous. I,
94
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.399
You know, I've been waiting since that night that they
95
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.519
said Biden won and I lost and I lost all
96
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.920
my social media handles that night. They definitely were targeting
97
00:05:12.019 --> 00:05:14.699
people who are pro Trump. And I was for a
98
00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:18.819
few years. Right. So, no, I can't wait. And I'm
99
00:05:18.939 --> 00:05:22.550
glad I think everything will happen as soon as that
100
00:05:22.689 --> 00:05:25.730
day when he sits up there, January 20th and makes
101
00:05:25.769 --> 00:05:28.050
his statements yet. And America is going to get right
102
00:05:28.089 --> 00:05:30.430
back on track. I think a lot of huge things
103
00:05:30.449 --> 00:05:32.850
are going to happen for the betterment of the world.
104
00:05:34.129 --> 00:05:37.009
It's interesting that you brought up Biden and his age.
105
00:05:37.250 --> 00:05:39.850
And this isn't about being ageist, as you just said. But, yeah,
106
00:05:39.949 --> 00:05:42.810
it was a really terrible moment to see. Obviously, the
107
00:05:42.850 --> 00:05:45.290
president needed to come out and make a statement. So
108
00:05:45.430 --> 00:05:48.470
we expected that. It could have been taped. There could
109
00:05:48.490 --> 00:05:50.129
have been so many other ways to do it.
110
00:05:50.230 --> 00:05:50.670
It was terrible.
111
00:05:51.029 --> 00:05:53.350
Terrible nobody could even listen to what he was saying
112
00:05:53.370 --> 00:05:55.870
because you were too busy sort of taking in a
113
00:05:55.910 --> 00:05:58.170
breath of like oh my god this is like this
114
00:05:58.209 --> 00:05:59.930
could be his last moment and it was really sad
115
00:05:59.949 --> 00:06:03.110
um are you worried at all i mean donald trump
116
00:06:03.170 --> 00:06:05.269
is not a young man uh four years into this
117
00:06:05.329 --> 00:06:08.050
he will be older than biden i think what are we.
118
00:06:08.370 --> 00:06:12.310
He's a completely different specimen than joe biden donald trump
119
00:06:14.230 --> 00:06:17.209
he's just a, I don't think anybody can tell me
120
00:06:17.629 --> 00:06:20.509
with a straight face that he looks, sounds, and appears
121
00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:24.550
different than he did six, seven years ago. I, I
122
00:06:24.589 --> 00:06:28.709
defy someone to say that he hasn't aged in that respect.
123
00:06:28.750 --> 00:06:32.589
He's still knocking golf balls. He's still up there. You know,
124
00:06:32.610 --> 00:06:35.589
we saw him parading around the country with all the rallies,
125
00:06:35.670 --> 00:06:41.579
et cetera, two, two a day playing to packed arenas. No, no, the,
126
00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:45.079
Donald Trump is primarily, and I don't mean this in
127
00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:48.839
a bad way, every president has had huge egos. You
128
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.519
have to have a huge ego to be the president
129
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.680
of the free world. But there's no one like him
130
00:06:54.699 --> 00:06:57.730
when it comes to narcissism and how much his ego
131
00:06:57.810 --> 00:07:02.490
is inflated, how much he loves himself. He is in
132
00:07:02.550 --> 00:07:06.149
his biggest wet dream of his life. The fact that
133
00:07:06.170 --> 00:07:08.769
he came back and made this comeback, and I got
134
00:07:08.790 --> 00:07:10.970
to tell you, there are so many people on the
135
00:07:11.089 --> 00:07:14.019
left who are kind of walking over to the right
136
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.850
and saying positive things about him. There are news organizations,
137
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.730
a lot of techie geek billionaires in Silicon Valley have
138
00:07:22.110 --> 00:07:25.829
come and broke bread at Mar-a-Lago. No, I think America
139
00:07:25.870 --> 00:07:28.689
is in store for some great things the next four years.
140
00:07:28.790 --> 00:07:31.709
I think we finally are going to get back on track.
141
00:07:32.230 --> 00:07:34.269
OK, well, I love hearing that prediction. We'll see how
142
00:07:34.709 --> 00:07:36.769
that goes. What did you do for New Year's Eve?
143
00:07:38.149 --> 00:07:40.430
Rach, you're a mom. I'm a dad. I live with
144
00:07:40.470 --> 00:07:45.689
my 17-year-old son. My daughter's 20. I just stay home.
145
00:07:45.949 --> 00:07:48.389
Matter of fact, I just got off a cold. I'm
146
00:07:48.430 --> 00:07:50.170
always sick when I do your show, but I was
147
00:07:50.250 --> 00:07:54.110
sick over the Christmas holiday. And all of us got sick.
148
00:07:54.149 --> 00:07:56.930
It was a nasty flu going around. So I stayed home.
149
00:07:56.990 --> 00:07:59.189
You know, I'm the driver. I'm the designated driver. Who's
150
00:07:59.209 --> 00:08:01.110
going to a party? What time do I pick you up?
151
00:08:01.689 --> 00:08:04.029
You know, you got to drive up in the hills.
152
00:08:04.269 --> 00:08:07.689
So to me, it's like, look, you and I have
153
00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:11.350
had more fun on random Tuesday nights than New Year's Eve.
154
00:08:11.550 --> 00:08:14.480
That is true. Well, don't feel bad. I stayed home too.
155
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:14.939
I have.
156
00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:20.279
Uh, my boyfriend's family, their entire family was here. My daughter, um,
157
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.199
you know, came, she was actually supposed to be with
158
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.379
her dad that night. She came home to me. We
159
00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:27.240
all cooked dinner and played board games. Our new thing
160
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.379
is board games and cards. And then we did watch
161
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.659
the ball drop, which I don't know if you watched
162
00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:34.580
any of that stuff. We flipped back and forth between
163
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.179
the stations. What kind of shit show is that? Listen,
164
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:38.539
I love Andy Cohen.
165
00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:39.320
I love.
166
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:44.250
Anderson Cooper. But together, their chemistry and their drinking, it
167
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:45.610
was like cringeworthy TV.
168
00:08:45.690 --> 00:08:49.590
It is. It is. Look, Anderson Cooper is not that
169
00:08:49.629 --> 00:08:52.110
kind of guy. He doesn't like alcohol. Every year we
170
00:08:52.169 --> 00:08:55.950
see him struggle to take shots. Andy Cohen loves to party.
171
00:08:56.090 --> 00:08:57.750
I came up with Andy in New York in the
172
00:08:57.809 --> 00:09:01.750
early 90s when he was, I think, at CBS and
173
00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:04.320
I was the Daily News. We had the same birthday.
174
00:09:04.419 --> 00:09:08.220
I know Andy for many years. He loves to have fun. Yeah,
175
00:09:08.539 --> 00:09:12.779
it is cringeworthy. But the fact that CNN, Whitney Cummings
176
00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:16.659
coming on and making her jokes and really knocking the
177
00:09:16.730 --> 00:09:20.789
left and knocking CNN and knocking the media and knocking Biden,
178
00:09:21.350 --> 00:09:24.549
I was so happy with that. But how far has
179
00:09:24.669 --> 00:09:28.840
CNN fallen to just accept that on their program at
180
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:32.480
that hour with probably the biggest viewership of the year?
181
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.220
It shows you where they're at and what they think
182
00:09:35.259 --> 00:09:37.700
of themselves. They've just lost all credibility.
183
00:09:37.970 --> 00:09:40.330
Well, it was very strange. All the people they had on,
184
00:09:40.350 --> 00:09:42.330
I had to look up their names. I didn't know
185
00:09:42.389 --> 00:09:47.200
half of, but half the people, the artists, I had
186
00:09:47.259 --> 00:09:49.019
no idea who they were talking to. And then at
187
00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:52.240
the end when they had Andy's trainer come on with
188
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.490
no shirt, I just had to change the channel. I know.
189
00:09:55.970 --> 00:09:58.889
And listen, I watched the East Coast feed. So by
190
00:09:58.929 --> 00:10:01.100
the time it was midnight, on the West Coast, I
191
00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:02.700
was asleep for 90 minutes already.
192
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:03.460
Right.
193
00:10:03.580 --> 00:10:05.919
Or napping until I had to get up. But no,
194
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.340
I saw the ball drop. I watched CNN. I can't
195
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.100
watch Ryan Seacrest. I can't stand that generic bullshit fun
196
00:10:13.179 --> 00:10:17.299
on network TV. But yeah, you know, I don't want
197
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.710
to say the wrong thing, but- It's a very clear
198
00:10:20.929 --> 00:10:24.139
New Year's Eve when Andy and Anderson hosted. I get
199
00:10:24.179 --> 00:10:27.000
a kick out of it, but I just feel like,
200
00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:30.679
I don't know, it's true. I'm watching two gay guys
201
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.629
have fun on New Year's Eve, and it's just not
202
00:10:33.669 --> 00:10:37.070
the way I've ever celebrated New Year's Eve with my
203
00:10:37.169 --> 00:10:41.350
friends and girlfriends. It's a different kind of scene. I
204
00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:43.190
like to check in on it, but I don't ever
205
00:10:43.269 --> 00:10:45.370
think I'm going to be highly entertained when I watch
206
00:10:45.450 --> 00:10:50.210
Anderson and Andy. It's cringeworthy TV every year. And look,
207
00:10:50.269 --> 00:10:53.350
Kathy Griffin's not even on anymore. She was actually better
208
00:10:53.389 --> 00:10:55.419
than all this crap, even though she went down a
209
00:10:55.460 --> 00:10:59.870
horrible road. Kathy Griffin was way better than this shit. Yeah.
210
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.990
She was wonderful. I had her on my show this
211
00:11:02.049 --> 00:11:02.610
past year.
212
00:11:02.710 --> 00:11:05.830
It was an honor to finally get her to tell
213
00:11:05.870 --> 00:11:07.889
her side of the story. And I love, I don't
214
00:11:07.950 --> 00:11:09.850
know if you've been following her right now, but she's
215
00:11:09.889 --> 00:11:13.610
doing so well. She's back on tour and everyone's loving her.
216
00:11:13.629 --> 00:11:15.649
So I'm really happy for her. But I thought she
217
00:11:15.710 --> 00:11:17.009
used to be great on that show too.
218
00:11:17.070 --> 00:11:17.450
I agree.
219
00:11:17.629 --> 00:11:20.220
I love that. I love life on the D-list. Kathy
220
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.100
Griffin was great because she acted like one of us. Yeah.
221
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.419
And then she got big. It happens to everyone. Bill O'Reilly,
222
00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:31.120
Howard Stern. It happens to so many people. Look, it
223
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.139
happened to me. I was always a straight shooter, but
224
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.519
when I got sent to LA for my own TV
225
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.259
show and shows and movies and books and parties, and
226
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.259
you start to get nice, you start to like kowtow
227
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.360
to the cool crowd. You're no longer that person who
228
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.620
shoots the truth. Kathy Griffin was that way for years.
229
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.870
That's why people loved her. And then she got, way
230
00:11:54.909 --> 00:11:56.990
too deep into the cool crowd, and then she got
231
00:11:57.070 --> 00:11:59.990
way too left, and holding up a severed Donald Trump
232
00:12:00.029 --> 00:12:03.440
head was just stupid. She should know better. But I'm
233
00:12:03.460 --> 00:12:06.299
glad she weathered the storm, because she has talent, and
234
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.159
she is funny when she's, you know, not having to
235
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.659
worry about her health and her career.
236
00:12:12.230 --> 00:12:13.090
Right, exactly.
237
00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:15.549
Okay, so let's get into some of the top stories
238
00:12:15.570 --> 00:12:19.179
that are happening right now. Anytime you go on TMZ
239
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:25.539
or any of these bigger gossip news sites, you are
240
00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:29.000
hearing about Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. I mean, this
241
00:12:29.139 --> 00:12:31.240
feud just gets worse and worse. And in the last
242
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.000
24 hours, there's been other lawsuits and federal cases. And
243
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.009
now Justin Baldoni has launched his own suit against the
244
00:12:39.029 --> 00:12:45.809
New York Times for $ 250 million with nine other, you know, co-conspirator.
245
00:12:45.830 --> 00:12:46.269
What's the word?
246
00:12:46.389 --> 00:12:47.149
Co-conspirator.
247
00:12:47.570 --> 00:12:51.320
Yeah, but that's not the word. But anyways, nine other
248
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.679
people are involved in the lawsuit.
249
00:12:52.740 --> 00:12:57.240
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and this is getting really dirty.
250
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:57.919
What do you think?
251
00:12:58.139 --> 00:13:04.870
Well, I'll tell you. God. I have so many mixed
252
00:13:04.909 --> 00:13:09.059
feelings about... First of all, on a personal level, I saw,
253
00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:12.879
I think Blake Lively's beautiful. I think she's incredibly talented
254
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.620
as an actress. She's come a long way. I saw
255
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.419
a movie she made with Anna Kendrick about a year
256
00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:21.610
ago called A Simple Favor. Oh, I saw that. I
257
00:13:21.649 --> 00:13:25.269
liked it. It was fun. But in that movie, I said, wow,
258
00:13:25.289 --> 00:13:28.429
Blake Lively has really arrived as an actress. She did great.
259
00:13:28.970 --> 00:13:31.649
But then I said, you know what, is she really
260
00:13:31.870 --> 00:13:34.460
acting or is she being her true self in this movie?
261
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.320
A lot of actors sometimes just play themselves and it
262
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.039
registers to you like they're brilliant, but they're just playing themselves.
263
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.909
And by that, I mean very calculated, very deliberate, some
264
00:13:47.009 --> 00:13:50.529
cattiness involved. Now, I don't like Justin Baldoni at all.
265
00:13:50.570 --> 00:13:52.549
This guy, to me, came out of nowhere. I think
266
00:13:52.610 --> 00:13:55.370
he's a put-on. I think all his shit about domestic violence,
267
00:13:55.850 --> 00:13:58.960
he's just trying to be woke and the perfect man.
268
00:13:59.610 --> 00:14:01.850
He loves himself in the mirror. I know a guy
269
00:14:01.889 --> 00:14:05.570
like him, many guys like him. I think most of
270
00:14:05.629 --> 00:14:10.129
this trouble is because of Blake Lively. I really believe
271
00:14:10.190 --> 00:14:14.360
that somewhere in her heart, she's got a husband who's
272
00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:19.139
a huge superstar with Deadpool and everything else. He's made
273
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:22.740
money hand over fist. I feel like she wants the
274
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.840
career he has, which is to say all of America
275
00:14:25.899 --> 00:14:28.350
loves him. There's not a bad word said about Ryan Reynolds.
276
00:14:29.490 --> 00:14:31.929
And it's very easy for her to position herself against
277
00:14:31.990 --> 00:14:38.009
Justin Baldoni. But this countersuit in which you get to
278
00:14:38.049 --> 00:14:41.759
see the timeline of what was said and the fact
279
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.259
that Justin had receipts where Blake said, he came in
280
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.299
my dressing room when I was breastfeeding and it was
281
00:14:48.350 --> 00:14:53.470
very uncomfortable. And then you see his text with Blake saying, yeah,
282
00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:56.029
I'm going to be– What do you call it when
283
00:14:56.049 --> 00:14:58.210
you fill up the cup for your baby? Nursing.
284
00:14:58.370 --> 00:14:59.129
Oh, nursing, yeah.
285
00:14:59.250 --> 00:15:00.679
Yeah, I'm going to be nursing. But, yeah, come on in.
286
00:15:00.710 --> 00:15:02.929
It's no problem. Like, suddenly, you know.
287
00:15:02.970 --> 00:15:04.960
Or I think she said she was pumping or something.
288
00:15:04.980 --> 00:15:05.389
Pumping, pumping.
289
00:15:05.409 --> 00:15:06.679
Yeah, she invited him in. Yeah.
290
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.899
Yeah, but last week, we thought, what a piece of shit.
291
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.740
The guy just storms into a trailer while she's nursing. No,
292
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:15.500
we didn't see the other part of the text. And
293
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.200
the New York Times, you know, like, I've had a
294
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.289
problem with the media for years because when I did
295
00:15:22.330 --> 00:15:25.649
it– it wasn't important to be first. It was important
296
00:15:25.669 --> 00:15:29.149
to be right. First is great, but you better be right.
297
00:15:29.490 --> 00:15:31.590
You only got one shot at being right. And the
298
00:15:31.649 --> 00:15:34.960
New York times and the things they did with this story,
299
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.899
they wanted to be first. They wanted to have this
300
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.720
story first. And as a result, I think they got burned.
301
00:15:40.740 --> 00:15:42.940
They didn't get both sides of the story. And now
302
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.289
I think Justin Baldoni's counter suit for 250 million is,
303
00:15:48.669 --> 00:15:52.289
You know, it has a good shot at making them
304
00:15:52.669 --> 00:15:55.889
nervous and shaking in their shoes. I think that they're
305
00:15:55.929 --> 00:15:59.740
both a pain in the ass. I didn't read that book.
306
00:15:59.789 --> 00:16:01.659
I don't know if you did. And I haven't seen
307
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.320
the movie. But I remember all the hubbub while they
308
00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:07.620
made the movie. It turned me off to see it.
309
00:16:07.620 --> 00:16:11.259
It was just too much news. I didn't care. And frankly,
310
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.220
to be honest, I wasn't even sure who Justin Baldoni was.
311
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.279
Well, okay. So can I give you my opinion? It's,
312
00:16:17.539 --> 00:16:18.940
I have seen them. I didn't read the book.
313
00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:21.019
I had, I met a lot of people who read
314
00:16:21.070 --> 00:16:22.710
the book, who loved the book and wanted to see
315
00:16:22.750 --> 00:16:23.090
the movie.
316
00:16:23.389 --> 00:16:23.610
Right.
317
00:16:23.769 --> 00:16:25.970
I saw the movie. I didn't actually know.
318
00:16:26.090 --> 00:16:27.169
I mean, I knew a little bit that it was
319
00:16:27.210 --> 00:16:31.379
a domestic violence movie, but I went into it totally open-minded. Um,
320
00:16:32.019 --> 00:16:34.899
I found the movie to be very good, very interesting.
321
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:36.879
You know, rarely do we see a good movie these days.
322
00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:37.279
I know.
323
00:16:37.299 --> 00:16:39.139
Especially last year. I felt like it was really hard
324
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:39.620
to come by.
325
00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:42.419
And I love documentaries and stuff like that because I
326
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:46.019
haven't seen a good, big budget movie. Okay, so to me,
327
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.000
this struck me as a big budget movie. I don't
328
00:16:49.019 --> 00:16:51.250
know what the budget was, but they did a nice job.
329
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.750
Small, like $ 25 million. I think it was $ 25, but
330
00:16:53.850 --> 00:16:55.389
it made a lot of money. Okay.
331
00:16:55.509 --> 00:16:57.190
So big budget in the way that it had big,
332
00:16:57.529 --> 00:17:00.570
some big actors, a great story, a lot of, you know,
333
00:17:00.769 --> 00:17:03.580
effort into it and a lot of PR behind it.
334
00:17:03.669 --> 00:17:06.789
So the thing was, is that, you know, it affected
335
00:17:06.849 --> 00:17:09.690
everybody in a different way. People were, you know, head
336
00:17:09.750 --> 00:17:12.789
over heels one way or the other about the movie,
337
00:17:12.829 --> 00:17:14.970
if it affected them from domestic violence or they just
338
00:17:15.009 --> 00:17:15.869
liked the actors in it.
339
00:17:16.069 --> 00:17:16.430
Okay.
340
00:17:16.930 --> 00:17:18.710
So then we get to the point where the PR
341
00:17:18.769 --> 00:17:20.630
is happening for it. And you started to hear these
342
00:17:20.690 --> 00:17:23.769
rumblings about how she was not doing any PR for
343
00:17:24.269 --> 00:17:27.799
pushing the domestic violence, you know, being in support of
344
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.519
people who are survivors and stuff like that. So, I mean,
345
00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:32.660
I started to hear that. I didn't really care. I mean,
346
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.599
who gives a shit? Maybe she was too close to home.
347
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.049
She didn't want to talk about it. What I did
348
00:17:38.109 --> 00:17:41.269
stop and notice was when she did that first interview
349
00:17:41.349 --> 00:17:42.730
with that woman.
350
00:17:42.990 --> 00:17:43.509
Yeah.
351
00:17:43.769 --> 00:17:47.750
And the woman said, congratulations on your bump, meaning congratulations
352
00:17:47.769 --> 00:17:48.630
with being pregnant.
353
00:17:48.890 --> 00:17:49.190
Right.
354
00:17:49.309 --> 00:17:52.690
And she said, rudely, I just watched it again last night.
355
00:17:52.750 --> 00:17:55.490
As a matter of fact, congratulations on your bump, basically
356
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:58.660
calling the girl fat and then refused to look at
357
00:17:58.700 --> 00:18:01.779
her for the rest of the interview. Now that has
358
00:18:01.859 --> 00:18:05.400
nothing to do with With Jason Baldoni.
359
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.299
But it does. But it does.
360
00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:08.779
It shows you.
361
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:09.119
Who she is.
362
00:18:09.299 --> 00:18:12.420
Well, that's what I'm saying, though. She wasn't offended by
363
00:18:12.529 --> 00:18:14.430
something that had to do with that. She was just
364
00:18:14.470 --> 00:18:15.630
being a plain bitch.
365
00:18:15.849 --> 00:18:16.069
Right.
366
00:18:16.349 --> 00:18:18.269
And it was terrible to see that. And the first
367
00:18:18.289 --> 00:18:21.769
thing I thought is, wow, she's gotten such a big
368
00:18:22.349 --> 00:18:26.259
rap for being Taylor Swift's best friend. So everyone loves her.
369
00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:29.759
And she has this really nice image. you know, persona
370
00:18:29.819 --> 00:18:33.019
because everyone loves Taylor Swift. Well, and this just showed
371
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.319
her real colors. She's an asshole. OK, she's not a
372
00:18:36.380 --> 00:18:38.539
girl's girl. And that's what I thought. So then when
373
00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:41.029
I saw this lawsuit, I was like, that is aggressive.
374
00:18:41.069 --> 00:18:44.890
Something must have really happened for you to write such,
375
00:18:45.210 --> 00:18:47.829
you know, to do a lawsuit on something like this.
376
00:18:48.210 --> 00:18:50.130
But who is this guy, Justin Baldoni? I mean, no
377
00:18:50.170 --> 00:18:52.049
one knew him before the movie.
378
00:18:52.210 --> 00:18:52.490
I know.
379
00:18:52.609 --> 00:18:55.029
And so then you start to hear the details. Even
380
00:18:55.109 --> 00:18:57.930
reading the details, I kept saying to people, you don't
381
00:18:57.950 --> 00:18:59.730
know his side. You just have to hear it. You
382
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.799
can't just hear her side. And yes, there might've been,
383
00:19:03.140 --> 00:19:06.720
he might've had PR people, these girl bitches who didn't
384
00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:10.039
like her either and said nasty things. That doesn't mean
385
00:19:10.099 --> 00:19:11.960
it happened. So let's just hear what happened. And now
386
00:19:12.019 --> 00:19:15.619
to hear his receipts, his timeline, it shows that, that
387
00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:17.880
she contributed to a lot of this. And I think
388
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:20.259
with her ego, I mean, both of them obviously have
389
00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:22.519
such a huge ego, but I don't know who gave
390
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:24.160
her the idea to go down this road, but this
391
00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:27.400
is going to be a very messy ending for someone,
392
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:29.660
if not for both. And I don't know, I think
393
00:19:29.690 --> 00:19:32.690
they'll both be stained going forward with their own future.
394
00:19:32.710 --> 00:19:36.869
Well, you know, it's very reminiscent of, uh, kind of,
395
00:19:36.890 --> 00:19:39.109
kind of, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I know we've read
396
00:19:39.430 --> 00:19:43.750
articles probably from the same places and, uh, You know,
397
00:19:43.950 --> 00:19:47.660
there's even a possibility that maybe either one of them
398
00:19:47.740 --> 00:19:49.890
or both of them were maybe turned on with this.
399
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:53.779
scenes and maybe things were really nice and the coordinator
400
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.890
they needed, you know, didn't have to say too much. And,
401
00:19:57.690 --> 00:19:59.589
you know, we don't know because the movie set is
402
00:19:59.730 --> 00:20:03.509
so different than what people understand. Sometimes it's just business
403
00:20:03.769 --> 00:20:06.349
and sometimes a love affair begins and there's no one
404
00:20:06.390 --> 00:20:08.779
that can stop it. I don't know what happened here,
405
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:14.539
but I just, between the press's rush to judgment and
406
00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:17.960
people's rush to judgment. And like you said, these little
407
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.210
catty publicists and crisis managers, they are running Hollywood now.
408
00:20:23.589 --> 00:20:27.069
And it's just, it's gross when a 24, now listen,
409
00:20:27.150 --> 00:20:30.950
I know Leslie Sloan, Blake's publicist for many years. She's
410
00:20:31.269 --> 00:20:34.450
on top of her game. She's tippy top. Leslie's been
411
00:20:34.490 --> 00:20:39.049
around 30, 40 years. So I tend to believe her. However,
412
00:20:40.029 --> 00:20:42.509
there's too much of a rush to judgment. And there's
413
00:20:42.529 --> 00:20:45.470
too much of believable women that's still lingering in the air.
414
00:20:45.890 --> 00:20:48.579
And I'm glad Baldoni decided, oh, fuck that. I'm going
415
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:49.940
to fight. I'm going to show you what I got.
416
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:53.660
And if you got receipts, good. Because people, like you said,
417
00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:57.440
they love to just assume, oh, no, we heard the story. No,
418
00:20:57.460 --> 00:21:00.569
you heard half the story. And in this country, you're
419
00:21:00.630 --> 00:21:04.940
innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, we've reversed that. Now you're
420
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:05.940
guilty immediately.
421
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.619
I think on both sides, there are some truth on
422
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.099
both sides. There's probably some embellishment and the truth is
423
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:13.950
going to lie somewhere in the middle. And I do
424
00:21:13.990 --> 00:21:16.329
think it will go to a trial. I think that
425
00:21:16.349 --> 00:21:20.349
this will be another Amber Heard, Johnny Depp type of thing.
426
00:21:20.390 --> 00:21:22.970
And people, you know, the public, the court of public
427
00:21:23.029 --> 00:21:27.000
opinion has really spoken. And up until maybe 24 hours
428
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:29.480
ago was all on Blake's side. And now people are
429
00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:33.240
being like, Oh, God, I don't like what this looks like.
430
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:33.900
I know.
431
00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:35.900
This is going to be very interesting.
432
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.150
It's a it's a it's a clash of egos. And
433
00:21:38.170 --> 00:21:42.549
then you got Ryan Reynolds behind his wife, who's who's huge.
434
00:21:43.269 --> 00:21:46.069
And it's just it's kind of weird that I used
435
00:21:46.109 --> 00:21:48.670
to be with William Morris. And the fact that they
436
00:21:48.690 --> 00:21:51.480
got rid of Justin and they still kept I mean,
437
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.809
they kept Ryan and Blake. That's a big move by
438
00:21:54.849 --> 00:21:59.190
William Morris to drop Justin Baldoni immediately because of Blake
439
00:21:59.349 --> 00:22:02.720
and probably Ryan's word more than anybody. They're going to
440
00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:06.579
have to reconsider. But look, there's so many movies in
441
00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:09.240
Hollywood where there's co-stars that have sex or are in
442
00:22:09.299 --> 00:22:12.549
relationships in the movie and they can't stand each other.
443
00:22:12.589 --> 00:22:15.809
This goes back into the golden era of Hollywood. Even
444
00:22:15.849 --> 00:22:18.430
like Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Nine and a Half
445
00:22:18.470 --> 00:22:22.750
Weeks may be the most sensual movie of all time. Sexual...
446
00:22:23.269 --> 00:22:26.470
They couldn't stand each other. He was eating raw garlic
447
00:22:26.490 --> 00:22:30.549
during the lovemaking scenes. Her boyfriend, her husband was there watching.
448
00:22:30.910 --> 00:22:33.410
It was a shit show. But boy, did they make
449
00:22:33.430 --> 00:22:34.750
that movie sexy. Right.
450
00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:36.130
And same thing with Dirty Dancing.
451
00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:39.220
You always hear how Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey hated
452
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:39.700
each other.
453
00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:40.440
Hated each other.
454
00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:42.819
And they made such great chemistry on the screen.
455
00:22:42.940 --> 00:22:45.160
And those are real pros. That's a real pro. These
456
00:22:45.779 --> 00:22:49.809
people right now, has Justin Baldoni really earned his stripes
457
00:22:49.950 --> 00:22:52.109
as an actor in Hollywood? I don't think so. Has
458
00:22:52.150 --> 00:22:57.230
Blake Lively? She's certainly coming on strong, and I think
459
00:22:57.250 --> 00:23:00.029
she's a decent actress, but she's not Hollywood royalty.
460
00:23:00.529 --> 00:23:03.190
Well, I want to bring up what you just mentioned
461
00:23:03.210 --> 00:23:05.970
a few minutes ago. Intimacy coordinators are becoming a big
462
00:23:06.049 --> 00:23:08.190
hot topic right now, too. We actually had one on
463
00:23:08.230 --> 00:23:12.029
last year who kind of came up with everyone from
464
00:23:13.470 --> 00:23:16.329
Pretty in Pink and The Big Chill and that whole
465
00:23:16.369 --> 00:23:18.390
group all the way until now, and that's what she does.
466
00:23:18.990 --> 00:23:22.059
She was a casting director and now intimacy coordination is
467
00:23:22.099 --> 00:23:24.720
what she is hired to do. People still don't really
468
00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:27.420
understand what that is. She really broke it down. And
469
00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:29.509
for people listening that don't know what it is, it's
470
00:23:29.529 --> 00:23:32.430
someone that is hired to come on set and actually
471
00:23:32.569 --> 00:23:36.450
choreograph the lovemaking scene. So no one feels uncomfortable. So
472
00:23:36.470 --> 00:23:39.890
nothing illegal is happening. You see scenes all the time
473
00:23:39.930 --> 00:23:41.700
that look like people are having sex and they are not.
474
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:42.519
Right.
475
00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:45.119
Because number one, it is technically illegal.
476
00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:45.640
Right.
477
00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:48.279
And number two, because it, you know, it can make
478
00:23:48.339 --> 00:23:55.089
people uncomfortable. So these intimacy coordinators, she explained, choreographed down
479
00:23:55.170 --> 00:23:57.329
to the very last move what is going to happen.
480
00:23:57.690 --> 00:23:58.589
So it seems.
481
00:23:59.170 --> 00:24:02.470
um, seamless with, you know, for lack of a better word. And,
482
00:24:02.730 --> 00:24:04.789
and so it was interesting to hear that, um, he
483
00:24:04.849 --> 00:24:06.650
is saying he had to see one alone that Blake
484
00:24:06.690 --> 00:24:08.890
refused to go see one. But then I read also
485
00:24:08.970 --> 00:24:13.079
today that she complained that he improvised during the sex scenes,
486
00:24:13.130 --> 00:24:15.670
but you know, I don't know if I think that
487
00:24:15.710 --> 00:24:17.740
that's terrible because at the end of the day, you're
488
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:21.200
improvising in a role anyway to make it better.
489
00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:25.210
Unbelievable. I I've done, uh, I did an independent movie
490
00:24:25.230 --> 00:24:27.210
years ago where I had a sex scene with a girl.
491
00:24:27.549 --> 00:24:31.619
And it's very awkward. There was no intimacy coordinator on
492
00:24:31.670 --> 00:24:35.380
set back in the mid-90s. But this girl, I mean, look,
493
00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:38.900
women were definitely treated differently in the industry. I remember
494
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:42.680
I had this part as a drug-dealing pimp on this
495
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.440
movie that went to the Cannes Film Festival. It really
496
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:49.430
didn't do anything, but it went there. And Steven Seagal
497
00:24:49.509 --> 00:24:52.829
produced it and his partner Jules Nasso. And they came
498
00:24:52.890 --> 00:24:55.190
in with three headshots of hot girls and said, who
499
00:24:55.210 --> 00:24:57.569
would you want to be the girl in the sex
500
00:24:57.609 --> 00:25:01.299
scene with you? They let me answer. And I'm looking
501
00:25:01.339 --> 00:25:04.079
at three headshots of hot girls. And I picked one.
502
00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:07.500
I'm like, yeah, she's fucking, let's get her here. Disgusting,
503
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:09.880
I know. But that was the industry. And when she
504
00:25:09.900 --> 00:25:13.579
was on set, I choreographed it with her. Do you
505
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:15.339
mind if I pick your leg up here? Then I
506
00:25:15.380 --> 00:25:16.720
could just kiss you. Do you want to, like, how
507
00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:18.039
do you want to do it? Which way do you
508
00:25:18.059 --> 00:25:20.900
want to turn your head? Like we're two adults and
509
00:25:20.940 --> 00:25:23.349
grownups and we figured it out and no one left
510
00:25:23.410 --> 00:25:26.349
feeling icky. I don't know how I'd respond to an
511
00:25:26.630 --> 00:25:30.970
intimacy coordinator because sex, you know, if it's wild and
512
00:25:31.009 --> 00:25:33.990
it feels good, you can't really plan the next move.
513
00:25:34.549 --> 00:25:38.630
It just sort of happens. And sometimes sex is awkward
514
00:25:38.670 --> 00:25:41.640
and weird to see if you're not involved in it.
515
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:43.779
But if it feels good for the two people, I
516
00:25:43.859 --> 00:25:47.980
think that deep down inside, there were maybe some feelings
517
00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:51.619
that arose between Justin and Blake. And of course she
518
00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:54.740
can't have that because her husband is the almighty Ryan Reynolds.
519
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.859
But I don't know. I just feel like maybe something
520
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:01.549
sparks flu and let's face it. When you're in love
521
00:26:01.690 --> 00:26:04.829
or turned on by someone, you get catty and jealous
522
00:26:04.930 --> 00:26:06.750
and a little bit of a, you can be real
523
00:26:06.809 --> 00:26:09.950
pricky when it comes to arguing. Maybe that's at play
524
00:26:09.990 --> 00:26:10.349
here too.
525
00:26:11.210 --> 00:26:11.450
Right.
526
00:26:11.529 --> 00:26:14.690
Well, that's interesting because the opposite of love is hate. And,
527
00:26:15.809 --> 00:26:18.279
you know, you see this happen all the time. One
528
00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:21.380
feeling goes to the other. So it really will, as
529
00:26:21.420 --> 00:26:23.440
I said before, get messy and we will see what
530
00:26:23.460 --> 00:26:24.720
happens at the end.
531
00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:25.460
I cannot wait.
532
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:25.900
All right.
533
00:26:27.710 --> 00:26:29.710
Have you ever felt like you didn't quite fit in
534
00:26:29.769 --> 00:26:32.450
with the mainstream? Like the clothes you wear should reflect
535
00:26:32.490 --> 00:26:35.960
your unique personality, not just another cookie cutter design, right?
536
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:40.740
That's exactly how I felt when I discovered Empower by Heidi,
537
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.599
a brand that's more than just apparel.
538
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:43.440
It's a movement.
539
00:26:43.910 --> 00:26:47.740
Empower by Heidi celebrates everything that makes you Well, you.
540
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.289
Their high-quality, ethically-made clothing isn't labeled for men or women.
541
00:26:52.650 --> 00:26:57.269
It's for anyone who dares to express themselves. Inclusivity, body positivity,
542
00:26:57.369 --> 00:26:59.890
and self-expression are at the heart of what they do.
543
00:27:00.269 --> 00:27:03.700
Whether you're rocking a bold graphic tee, a cozy hoodie,
544
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:06.700
or an accessory that makes a statement, every piece is
545
00:27:06.740 --> 00:27:10.440
designed to empower your authentic self. I recently ordered a
546
00:27:11.059 --> 00:27:14.279
bright pink sweatshirt from their collection because I loved its
547
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.269
message of rebellion and humor. But when I got it,
548
00:27:17.410 --> 00:27:21.269
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how cozy it was.
549
00:27:21.589 --> 00:27:24.289
The material felt like butter and the colors in the
550
00:27:24.349 --> 00:27:26.930
sweatshirt were bright. People have stopped me on the street
551
00:27:26.970 --> 00:27:29.849
and asked me about it. I absolutely love it. You
552
00:27:29.890 --> 00:27:32.089
have to try it out. So what are you waiting for?

573
00:28:53.630 --> 00:28:55.430
let's talk about somebody who also has been in the
574
00:28:55.490 --> 00:28:56.930
news a lot, Kristen Cavallari.
575
00:28:57.670 --> 00:28:58.430
She's everywhere.
576
00:28:58.529 --> 00:29:02.349
And what I've been seeing is these weird Instagram posts
577
00:29:02.369 --> 00:29:04.809
or TikToks, whatever, of her walking down the street with
578
00:29:04.849 --> 00:29:09.529
someone and running and having these conversations. She's everywhere out
579
00:29:09.609 --> 00:29:12.450
of nowhere, kind of. And I just looked her up
580
00:29:12.490 --> 00:29:15.299
this morning. She has a post from today or the
581
00:29:15.339 --> 00:29:18.210
last 24 hours about her feelings about the Kardashians. She
582
00:29:18.230 --> 00:29:20.430
has a post from four days ago spilling the tea
583
00:29:20.630 --> 00:29:22.750
on whether or not she slept with Morgan Wallen. A
584
00:29:22.769 --> 00:29:24.509
couple of days before that, it was something else. So
585
00:29:24.950 --> 00:29:27.579
someone in her PR team is pushing out different articles
586
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:30.380
to make her top story in the last couple of weeks.
587
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:31.740
Why do we think that's happening?
588
00:29:31.940 --> 00:29:34.440
Well, I know that she's looking, her and her team
589
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:38.069
are looking for a TV deal, a hardcore TV deal.
590
00:29:38.450 --> 00:29:41.619
Like whether it's well kind of a dating show uh
591
00:29:41.779 --> 00:29:44.460
i mean look this kristen kevler i think is very
592
00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:46.920
attractive you know i get a kick out of looking
593
00:29:46.940 --> 00:29:48.740
at her i gotta be honest and the fact that
594
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.910
she's so open about her sexual conquest and this guy
595
00:29:51.950 --> 00:29:54.450
was my fuck buddy and this morgan wallen was great
596
00:29:54.490 --> 00:29:57.109
in bed and this 24 year old rocked my world
597
00:29:57.130 --> 00:29:59.480
and When a man hears a girl talk like that,
598
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:01.859
it makes you go, whoa, Jesus Christ, I never knew
599
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:04.220
she was this sexual. It makes her stand up and listen.
600
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:08.900
So I'm very interested in what she has to say.
601
00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:12.920
But I've heard from people that they are really, her
602
00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:15.119
people are pushing hard for her to get some kind
603
00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:18.930
of a TV gig. And no one ever talks this
604
00:30:18.990 --> 00:30:22.410
much publicly and does this many podcasts that, frankly, I
605
00:30:22.769 --> 00:30:24.930
don't even know what these podcasts are, but she's on
606
00:30:24.970 --> 00:30:28.500
a podcast every day. on top of her own, saying
607
00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:32.000
what she needs to say about love and relationships. So
608
00:30:32.299 --> 00:30:34.829
they're trying to market her as the next sort of,
609
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:39.420
I don't know, wild girl. I don't know how you
610
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:42.460
categorize it, but they want to capitalize on the fact
611
00:30:42.500 --> 00:30:44.279
that this girl's got a lot of stories to tell
612
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:47.599
of the high and mighty celebrities in Hollywood. She was
613
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:51.440
embedded into the Kardashian family, had a fling with Scott Disick.
614
00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:54.859
You know, she's been around. And I think if she
615
00:30:54.900 --> 00:30:58.240
wants to really tell some stories, yeah, it'd be a
616
00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:00.160
lot of fun to listen to her. She has a
617
00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:02.079
lot of dirt. And I think that she'll probably be
618
00:31:02.140 --> 00:31:06.240
successful getting some kind of low rent show somewhere on
619
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:10.990
a streamer and they'll see how it does. But she's definitely.
620
00:31:10.450 --> 00:31:11.069
Trying to bring her back.
621
00:31:11.089 --> 00:31:14.650
Is your prediction like where she's telling stories or where
622
00:31:14.789 --> 00:31:16.890
it's almost like The Bachelorette meets Wild Bachelorette?
623
00:31:17.589 --> 00:31:19.029
You know, wild on or whatever.
624
00:31:19.069 --> 00:31:20.329
I think it's more of that. I think it's more
625
00:31:20.349 --> 00:31:21.730
of that. I think it's more of a dating type.
626
00:31:21.750 --> 00:31:22.930
Where she's looking for love.
627
00:31:23.210 --> 00:31:26.569
Yeah, yeah. I think it's time we make sure Kristen
628
00:31:26.589 --> 00:31:29.329
Cavallari has a man. She had the athlete. She has
629
00:31:29.369 --> 00:31:31.750
the children from the athlete. She has her fuck buddies and,
630
00:31:32.109 --> 00:31:36.500
you know, and she's definitely had sex with a very,
631
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:39.279
I don't want to say very, a lot, but she's
632
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:42.400
been in Hollywood a while and has been in that circuit,
633
00:31:42.859 --> 00:31:48.839
that early aughts circuit of the... paris nicole lindsey you
634
00:31:48.859 --> 00:31:52.420
know all those chicks britney she had a ball kim
635
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:54.960
so she has a lot of shit just a lot
636
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.569
of stories to tell it would be interesting because she
637
00:31:57.609 --> 00:32:00.789
seems to really want to stick to being completely honest
638
00:32:01.410 --> 00:32:04.289
i like honesty it's refreshing i like looking at her.
639
00:32:04.650 --> 00:32:07.230
So okay so you're saying you would watch it yeah
640
00:32:07.289 --> 00:32:09.349
i like i think she's hot all right.
641
00:32:09.210 --> 00:32:10.829
Cool so you think she should get a.
642
00:32:10.789 --> 00:32:13.430
Show Yeah, why not? There's so much shit on TV.
643
00:32:13.470 --> 00:32:15.930
Give her a show. Why not? All right.
644
00:32:15.970 --> 00:32:17.970
Well, another person who just came out at the beginning
645
00:32:17.990 --> 00:32:21.779
of the year after five years of being off Instagram
646
00:32:21.819 --> 00:32:27.119
or social media is Meghan Markle. January 1st, the Duchess
647
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.539
of Sussex rejoined and she announced she's going to be
648
00:32:30.579 --> 00:32:32.420
doing a Netflix show.
649
00:32:32.549 --> 00:32:35.289
Do you know this? It's like a cooking show. What
650
00:32:35.329 --> 00:32:35.529
is it?
651
00:32:35.970 --> 00:32:39.329
She doesn't know what she does, but Netflix, I know
652
00:32:39.869 --> 00:32:43.490
from people that are aligned with Netflix. They're at their
653
00:32:43.509 --> 00:32:45.990
wit's end. This is her last shot. They have nothing
654
00:32:46.029 --> 00:32:48.470
else to offer. Everything they've done, her and Harry, has
655
00:32:48.490 --> 00:32:50.009
just went in the shitter.
656
00:32:50.470 --> 00:32:54.390
AJ, why does everybody hate them? What is the problem?
657
00:32:54.769 --> 00:32:58.140
Well, if you're anything like me, you just can't stand
658
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:03.119
phony nonsense, and this girl seems to want us to
659
00:33:03.180 --> 00:33:06.319
believe that she's had life so tough, and it's a
660
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:09.900
bunch of bullshit. She's had a great life. She was
661
00:33:11.170 --> 00:33:14.490
pretty girl. She still is attractive. She went and did
662
00:33:14.529 --> 00:33:17.269
some time on the yachting circuit and found some very
663
00:33:17.329 --> 00:33:20.650
wealthy men. She got the job on suits. And of course,
664
00:33:20.710 --> 00:33:24.279
she's staking out Harry. She meets Harry. He falls for her.
665
00:33:24.779 --> 00:33:26.559
Probably had the best sex of his life with a
666
00:33:26.619 --> 00:33:28.660
mixed girl. I'm sure Harry never went on that side
667
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:32.400
of the pool. He flips out. And now she's a princess.
668
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:34.220
But no, it didn't work out that way because she
669
00:33:34.299 --> 00:33:36.779
thought that she could be as big as Diana. She
670
00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.039
thought she could be as influential as Diana. And she's
671
00:33:39.430 --> 00:33:42.339
She'll never get close to Diana. I was around when
672
00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:45.000
Diana was big or when she was really making noise
673
00:33:45.059 --> 00:33:48.940
and Diana knew how to play the press better than anybody.
674
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:53.079
And Meghan Markle is just a phony. She's a phony
675
00:33:53.099 --> 00:33:56.000
and everybody sees right through it. And it makes us
676
00:33:56.259 --> 00:33:58.829
all want to see Harry be happy again because he's
677
00:33:58.869 --> 00:33:59.369
not happy.
678
00:33:59.670 --> 00:34:02.170
Well, so that's what's interesting is that they're taking Harry's
679
00:34:02.190 --> 00:34:04.369
side like he is not complicit in what happens.
680
00:34:04.990 --> 00:34:06.289
They've done like they make it.
681
00:34:06.430 --> 00:34:09.510
Everybody makes it seem like she forced him to move
682
00:34:09.590 --> 00:34:13.300
back to America. She forced him to relinquish his role
683
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:16.780
and to get into television. She forced him to have children.
684
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:18.400
I don't believe that that's true.
685
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:22.079
It's not true. I'll tell you something. The famous producer
686
00:34:22.139 --> 00:34:25.039
and womanizer Robert Evans told me, and I'm going to
687
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:28.019
say something a little blue here. So hold your virgin ears.
688
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:33.179
But he said to me that of a one single
689
00:34:33.300 --> 00:34:37.630
female pubic hair, is stronger than the Atlantic cable. So
690
00:34:37.650 --> 00:34:41.469
if your girl, wife, girlfriend wants to do what she
691
00:34:41.530 --> 00:34:44.170
wants to do, and you're so enamored and turned on
692
00:34:44.250 --> 00:34:47.769
and just over the moon for her, you'll do anything
693
00:34:47.849 --> 00:34:51.550
she wants. Harry didn't call the shots. I think Harry
694
00:34:51.590 --> 00:34:54.090
was complicit in wanting to make her happy because he
695
00:34:54.130 --> 00:34:57.570
thought she'd be the end all to his life. But no,
696
00:34:58.230 --> 00:35:01.559
I still see Harry riding a motorcycle in England and
697
00:35:01.619 --> 00:35:04.079
not being in LA anymore. I think he'd be much
698
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:08.300
happier doing civilian work, the stuff he did and still does.
699
00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:11.139
I think that's where his real passion lies, not in
700
00:35:11.219 --> 00:35:15.619
being this person in L.A. Look, all of Hollywood has
701
00:35:15.659 --> 00:35:18.210
dropped him. No one in Hollywood hangs out with him anymore.
702
00:35:19.070 --> 00:35:21.210
They've proven themselves to be the kind of people who
703
00:35:21.250 --> 00:35:26.090
tell stories about famous people. That's one surefire way to
704
00:35:26.150 --> 00:35:29.739
get you excommunicated out of the Hollywood circuit. No one
705
00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:33.280
in Montecito hangs out with them. So Megan even couldn't
706
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:36.760
get the stupid... I think they said the picture she
707
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:40.530
posted of her kids... Was AI generated a little bit?
708
00:35:40.570 --> 00:35:44.110
And then when she came back to Instagram after seven years,
709
00:35:44.210 --> 00:35:49.679
I mean, what a gutsy move. What an amazing thing.
710
00:35:50.110 --> 00:35:52.900
She goes and writes 20, 25 on the beach with
711
00:35:52.940 --> 00:35:55.800
her finger in the sand. Meanwhile, it was like the
712
00:35:55.900 --> 00:35:59.340
third take because as she's running, you could see take
713
00:35:59.500 --> 00:36:01.920
one and take two as she started to write 20,
714
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:04.590
25 and the water came and erased it. So they
715
00:36:04.650 --> 00:36:08.400
can't even get that right. It's just so simple. They
716
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:10.760
can't get out of their own way.
717
00:36:10.780 --> 00:36:15.000
So I watched the trailer to this thing that she
718
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:18.369
posted for Netflix, and it looks like a cooking show
719
00:36:18.889 --> 00:36:21.869
done in her kitchen where she has some celebrities joining her,
720
00:36:21.889 --> 00:36:25.369
and then they're making candles. I cannot imagine that anyone's
721
00:36:25.389 --> 00:36:27.449
going to watch this. Maybe the first episode just to
722
00:36:27.510 --> 00:36:31.159
see what happens, but that is like the worst thing
723
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:32.099
she could have chosen.
724
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:33.360
A cooking show?
725
00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:36.059
I mean, I just had Carney Wilson on who also
726
00:36:36.099 --> 00:36:37.420
just started a cooking show.
727
00:36:37.739 --> 00:36:41.849
Carney's crazy. I know Carney from years ago. Boy, is
728
00:36:42.429 --> 00:36:45.210
she still cursing like a sailor, Carney? Yeah. Okay, yeah,
729
00:36:45.230 --> 00:36:49.929
she's wild. But no, listen, when your star is waning
730
00:36:49.949 --> 00:36:53.869
in Hollywood, And mine did. And they come to you
731
00:36:53.909 --> 00:36:57.769
with these ideas. And cooking shows are very prominent. Do
732
00:36:57.809 --> 00:37:00.349
you cook at all? Can you cook? Yeah, I cook. Well,
733
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:02.510
you know, there might be a show there. You're cooking
734
00:37:02.550 --> 00:37:05.559
with celebrities. It's the easiest thing they finally funnel you
735
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:09.119
down into. Look, you want to see Meghan Markle and
736
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:11.360
you want to have fun watching? Go watch the sex
737
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:14.519
scenes in suits from several years ago. That's the only
738
00:37:14.579 --> 00:37:17.079
time you're going to enjoy watching her work. Otherwise, it's
739
00:37:17.139 --> 00:37:19.500
all boring. And I got to tell you, I know
740
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:23.110
we talked about this the other day. What is happening? Well,
741
00:37:23.230 --> 00:37:28.809
Ozempic is huge. Okay, fine. But all these women who were, well,
742
00:37:28.849 --> 00:37:32.889
Meghan was never big chested, but Katy Perry's tits are gone.
743
00:37:33.659 --> 00:37:38.699
Meghan Markle is flat as a sixth grade girl. DiCaprio's girlfriend, Seretti,
744
00:37:39.219 --> 00:37:43.239
flat as a board. Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid. What's
745
00:37:43.340 --> 00:37:47.199
going on? Brad Pitt and Inez. Inez is pretty, but again,
746
00:37:47.219 --> 00:37:50.559
no curves whatsoever. Is it that these men just want
747
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:52.900
to be the center of attention and not have to
748
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:56.179
think that their beautiful woman with curves is going to
749
00:37:56.219 --> 00:37:59.510
steal some limelight? What is happening to men?
750
00:38:00.130 --> 00:38:02.730
Well, but that just might be your personal opinion, because
751
00:38:02.750 --> 00:38:05.230
let's look at like J-Lo, for example. She can't keep
752
00:38:05.309 --> 00:38:07.670
a man. She wants to. And she's got a lot
753
00:38:07.690 --> 00:38:10.469
of curves. So I bet I get what you're saying.
754
00:38:10.550 --> 00:38:12.130
I get what you're saying. But I think that like
755
00:38:12.309 --> 00:38:15.829
model look. is coming back. I mean, I remember way
756
00:38:15.869 --> 00:38:18.010
back when, when that look was very prevalent and then
757
00:38:18.030 --> 00:38:19.789
it became the curvy thing and it was okay to
758
00:38:19.829 --> 00:38:22.679
have curves. Now it seems like with what exactly what
759
00:38:22.699 --> 00:38:26.260
you brought up with, um, Ozempic being so big 2024, it's,
760
00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:29.280
it was like the year of Ozempic. You had no,
761
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:31.840
not to be skinny. If you were back, like you
762
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:34.780
couldn't get a prescription. It was, who can't get a prescription?
763
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.690
You gotta be skinny. So, um, you know, I just
764
00:38:37.730 --> 00:38:40.590
don't think curves are in, in a, in a man's
765
00:38:40.849 --> 00:38:42.829
mind anymore for the most part.
766
00:38:43.030 --> 00:38:47.710
No, man, look, come on, Rach. You're a curvy chick.
767
00:38:47.909 --> 00:38:50.329
We love curves. You've done very well with your curves.
768
00:38:50.710 --> 00:38:51.449
Men love that.
769
00:38:51.690 --> 00:38:54.050
Well, my curves are not natural, but I would never
770
00:38:54.090 --> 00:38:54.730
take them out.
771
00:38:54.750 --> 00:38:57.030
No, it doesn't matter. Please don't take them out.
772
00:38:57.159 --> 00:38:59.000
No, I never would.
773
00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:00.960
I like them. Oh, my God. When girls take them out.
774
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:02.820
I mean, I want to light a candle in my
775
00:39:02.860 --> 00:39:06.800
bedroom window because I'm sick. No, please. I want to
776
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:10.159
go to church and light a candle. Katy Perry. was
777
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:16.300
a top-heavy, bouncy, fun, sexy chick. Now, what is... She's disappeared.
778
00:39:16.739 --> 00:39:20.110
Christina Aguilera lost a lot of weight. I think she
779
00:39:20.130 --> 00:39:23.150
looks sexy as hell. I do. I just do. She
780
00:39:23.170 --> 00:39:23.610
was big for a while.
781
00:39:23.630 --> 00:39:25.130
She's also a very little girl.
782
00:39:25.730 --> 00:39:28.170
I like them little. Little's cute. You know, little's okay.
783
00:39:28.309 --> 00:39:31.340
But curves, if you compare... curves in five foot two,
784
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:34.219
more power to you. But I just feel like these
785
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:36.900
men feel like they want to be the more beautiful
786
00:39:36.940 --> 00:39:40.840
of the pair. Look, I don't know. My algorithm is
787
00:39:40.889 --> 00:39:45.090
different than yours and Instagram, but I don't even like
788
00:39:45.150 --> 00:39:47.730
these pictures of pretty girls who come bouncing on Instagram,
789
00:39:47.750 --> 00:39:51.199
but they're always on my screen. There are a thousand
790
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:55.369
girls sexier on Instagram that Bradley Cooper and DiCaprio and
791
00:39:55.389 --> 00:39:57.920
these guys could be with than the women they stay
792
00:39:57.960 --> 00:39:59.219
with in Hollywood. I don't get it.
793
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:02.170
I know what you mean. I hear you. I hear you.
794
00:40:02.530 --> 00:40:04.650
It'll be interesting to see what the new trends and
795
00:40:04.750 --> 00:40:07.530
fads are. Because I think a couple of years ago,
796
00:40:07.889 --> 00:40:08.969
it was cool to be big.
797
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:11.119
Big? Oh, no. It couldn't be fat.
798
00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:12.199
No, no.
799
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:16.000
But bigger, meaning fuller figure, a size six was fine.
800
00:40:16.019 --> 00:40:17.019
That's fine. That's fine.
801
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:18.760
You know, just before the show, I got a call
802
00:40:18.780 --> 00:40:20.409
from a friend of mine who's like, oh, thank God,
803
00:40:20.449 --> 00:40:24.210
I'm finally down to a double zero. I'm going shopping
804
00:40:24.369 --> 00:40:27.929
on Worth Avenue for some new dresses. And And I said, oh,
805
00:40:27.969 --> 00:40:29.610
is that a good thing? She's like, I've been trying
806
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:31.159
to get to this weight since college.
807
00:40:31.219 --> 00:40:31.739
So, yes.
808
00:40:31.900 --> 00:40:34.340
So, what's next? Baby gap? Where do they go after that?
809
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:37.460
Baby gap? Yeah. No, but what's yours? What are you,
810
00:40:37.510 --> 00:40:38.070
like a two?
811
00:40:38.090 --> 00:40:39.309
Yeah, I'm a two.
812
00:40:39.789 --> 00:40:44.909
Two. See, that's sexy. I mean, everybody's different. Like Marilyn
813
00:40:44.929 --> 00:40:45.570
Monroe was a 10 or a 12th.
814
00:40:47.179 --> 00:40:48.820
Yeah, but I don't know that you would think she,
815
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:50.460
I mean, maybe she looked great.
816
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:51.980
She looked good to me.
817
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:53.820
But I think a 10 or a 12 back then
818
00:40:53.860 --> 00:40:55.659
is different than now. It must have been because she
819
00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:57.719
did not look like a typical 10 or 12.
820
00:40:57.719 --> 00:40:59.630
My mother had the same, my mother was just like
821
00:40:59.989 --> 00:41:03.289
Monroe's body. A 12, 10, 12, big top, you know,
822
00:41:03.849 --> 00:41:07.969
very beautiful woman in her youth. Yeah, I mean, it
823
00:41:08.010 --> 00:41:10.670
comes in and out, fashions. But I was, I came
824
00:41:10.750 --> 00:41:13.940
aboard with the big, the Cindy's, Naomi's, and Claudia's, and
825
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:17.659
all those curvy women. And now you've got the Bella
826
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:21.809
and Gigi's and it just doesn't feel the same to me. Right.
827
00:41:21.849 --> 00:41:24.869
So hopefully it'll change, but these guys, I think they
828
00:41:24.889 --> 00:41:26.510
got to step up their game. I have yet to
829
00:41:26.570 --> 00:41:30.199
see a man lately with a woman that I go, wow, he,
830
00:41:30.420 --> 00:41:33.440
he outkicked the coverage on this one. No. Haven't seen
831
00:41:33.460 --> 00:41:33.880
in a while.
832
00:41:34.139 --> 00:41:34.380
All right.
833
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:36.559
Well, we'll keep our eyes out for this year and
834
00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:37.760
see who shows up on your radio.
835
00:41:37.780 --> 00:41:40.000
By the way, by the way, you with a new boyfriend,
836
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:41.420
this is breaking news. Is it not?
837
00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:43.760
A little bit of breaking news. I don't talk about
838
00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:44.380
it a lot.
839
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:44.780
Okay.
840
00:41:45.460 --> 00:41:47.420
All right. I'm not going to tell too many details.
841
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:48.579
I'll tell you privately.
842
00:41:48.659 --> 00:41:49.699
It's okay.
843
00:41:49.739 --> 00:41:51.159
But no, yes, it is a new thing.
844
00:41:51.179 --> 00:41:54.670
And, um, you know, five months in or whatever, but,
845
00:41:54.849 --> 00:41:58.110
but listen, I'm somebody who wants to have, wants to
846
00:41:58.130 --> 00:41:58.869
be in a relationship.
847
00:41:58.909 --> 00:41:59.719
You know this about me.
848
00:41:59.809 --> 00:42:00.730
I know. Yeah.
849
00:42:00.849 --> 00:42:01.860
So I'm very happy.
850
00:42:02.070 --> 00:42:04.760
I always listen to your Instagram, the music you play
851
00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:08.079
behind your videos or pictures. It's like, I always read
852
00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:10.340
into the music. I'm into that. I get it. Like
853
00:42:10.739 --> 00:42:13.579
there's hidden meaning in the music. Not even that hit.
854
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:16.079
You're kind of saying what kind of guy you like
855
00:42:16.139 --> 00:42:17.880
and what you want. And I always laugh. I'm like
856
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:20.760
fucking Rachel. She's just going for it. She don't give
857
00:42:20.820 --> 00:42:23.460
a shit. She just tells people, here's what I'm looking for.
858
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:23.980
Come get it.
859
00:42:23.980 --> 00:42:27.170
That is true. That is true. All right.
860
00:42:27.250 --> 00:42:29.369
Well, okay, let's go back to something that's really interesting.
861
00:42:30.349 --> 00:42:31.949
You came out as somebody who was one of the
862
00:42:32.090 --> 00:42:35.090
first people to break the Jamie Foxx story.
863
00:42:35.210 --> 00:42:37.030
I broke it. I was the guy.
864
00:42:37.090 --> 00:42:37.670
That's what I'm saying.
865
00:42:37.730 --> 00:42:37.989
All right.
866
00:42:38.010 --> 00:42:41.639
So you remind people what you came out and originally said.
867
00:42:42.070 --> 00:42:44.619
Back in May of that year, a friend of mine
868
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:47.900
who has a private jet, I never disclosed his name,
869
00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:51.239
also was a friend of Jamie's, and he... He told
870
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:55.579
me he went to go see Jamie in Chicago and
871
00:42:55.659 --> 00:42:57.599
stopped to see another friend. So he went to go
872
00:42:57.800 --> 00:42:59.900
to the hospital to see two friends who were sick.
873
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:02.889
And he said when he saw Jamie, he was partially
874
00:43:02.929 --> 00:43:05.869
blind and partially paralyzed. And this was early on in
875
00:43:05.909 --> 00:43:07.710
his hospital stay. This guy would never lie to me.
876
00:43:07.710 --> 00:43:09.090
He's never lied to me. So I know he told
877
00:43:09.130 --> 00:43:12.070
the truth. And it was about the fact that Jamie
878
00:43:12.110 --> 00:43:15.500
got the COVID shot. Didn't want to get it, but
879
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:17.699
got it. And then fell ill, which a lot of
880
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:21.869
people had that experience with. in those unfortunate days. So
881
00:43:21.929 --> 00:43:25.090
I reported that I've never had a story in the
882
00:43:25.130 --> 00:43:27.030
last eight years that went around the world. I mean,
883
00:43:27.090 --> 00:43:29.630
I was getting called by the newspapers in India. It
884
00:43:29.670 --> 00:43:33.789
was insane. Right. And Jamie Foxx had kept saying, no, I,
885
00:43:33.869 --> 00:43:36.409
you know, his daughter spoke out about me. She called
886
00:43:36.429 --> 00:43:38.739
me some white guy said my dad was blind and
887
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:42.480
he was, she lied and said, he's playing pickleball, which
888
00:43:42.539 --> 00:43:45.730
is a big bullshit lie. And now I was listening
889
00:43:45.750 --> 00:43:47.949
to people in the last few months say, Jamie Foxx's
890
00:43:48.030 --> 00:43:51.309
comedy special on Netflix, he says that Diddy got him sick.
891
00:43:51.389 --> 00:43:55.500
Diddy poisoned him. And I'm watching people, comedians I know
892
00:43:55.579 --> 00:43:58.119
very well, and they're just saying this, which takes us
893
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:00.500
back to the earlier point of people just saying shit
894
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:03.460
on podcasts. And I go, that's bullshit. He would never
895
00:44:03.539 --> 00:44:06.380
say that. He would never say in public, Diddy poisoned me.
896
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:08.539
And of course, if you watch his special, he doesn't
897
00:44:08.579 --> 00:44:12.480
say that. So I feel vindicated. He did say he
898
00:44:12.539 --> 00:44:15.300
couldn't move. He did say how bad it was. But
899
00:44:16.059 --> 00:44:18.769
for him to say, I asked for an aspirin, I
900
00:44:18.829 --> 00:44:21.010
asked for an Advil, and then I was out for
901
00:44:21.090 --> 00:44:25.590
whatever it was, 10, 15, 20 days. It's just bullshit.
902
00:44:25.610 --> 00:44:29.050
It's a bullshit story. He stuck to it. He's never
903
00:44:29.110 --> 00:44:31.860
came at me, although there was a phone call placed
904
00:44:31.900 --> 00:44:35.059
by his people to my people about that story. Then
905
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:37.530
they dropped it. Because I said to my producer, I'm
906
00:44:37.550 --> 00:44:39.030
not backing off this story. I know for a fact
907
00:44:39.090 --> 00:44:41.949
it's true. And they walked away. And that's a victory
908
00:44:42.010 --> 00:44:44.599
for a journalist whenever they walk away when you say, no,
909
00:44:44.820 --> 00:44:48.099
not backing down. Never heard from them again. So look,
910
00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:50.440
I think Jamie Foxx, and I've said this many times,
911
00:44:50.820 --> 00:44:55.440
is the most talented guy in Hollywood. Singing, dancing, comedy, drama,
912
00:44:56.360 --> 00:45:00.659
athletic movies, you name it. Oscar winner. Jamie Foxx is amazing.
913
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:03.099
And I hate that he got sick. I'm glad he's
914
00:45:03.139 --> 00:45:06.579
healthy again. But You know, my job has always been
915
00:45:06.619 --> 00:45:09.420
to tell the truth. And I don't think it's about
916
00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:12.179
Diddy at all, though. I think Jamie did see a
917
00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:16.889
lot of things during those Diddy nights. And God, this story,
918
00:45:17.449 --> 00:45:19.710
I hope this thing ends in a trial that we
919
00:45:19.730 --> 00:45:22.570
can have. And, you know, the irony of the Diddy trials,
920
00:45:22.610 --> 00:45:25.289
it's going to start the same day as the Met Ball.
921
00:45:25.309 --> 00:45:27.469
It's going to be amazing.
922
00:45:28.219 --> 00:45:30.340
Oh, my gosh. When is this? March or May?
923
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:33.400
Early May. First Monday, May, something like that.
924
00:45:33.420 --> 00:45:34.329
Yeah, it's like May 5th.
925
00:45:34.340 --> 00:45:37.519
May 5th, yeah. So that's hopefully it all works out
926
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:39.139
from now until then and we get to see this
927
00:45:39.179 --> 00:45:43.650
trial because I still have a sinking feeling that he's
928
00:45:43.730 --> 00:45:47.250
not going to get the kind of time he deserves
929
00:45:48.010 --> 00:45:50.949
because I'd known Diddy. We all came up together in
930
00:45:50.969 --> 00:45:54.590
the early 90s. I always told people he's dangerous. There
931
00:45:54.630 --> 00:45:57.949
are people dead because of Diddy. I said that publicly
932
00:45:58.150 --> 00:46:01.929
years ago. And now all this comes to light. And
933
00:46:01.969 --> 00:46:05.130
I was with Diddy when he was cheating on Jennifer Lopez.
934
00:46:05.170 --> 00:46:08.349
And I remember going, why is he at this pool?
935
00:46:08.489 --> 00:46:10.289
But I was at my ex-girlfriend's house in the Hamptons.
936
00:46:10.329 --> 00:46:13.449
He stopped over with this young girl. And I'm like,
937
00:46:13.570 --> 00:46:17.030
he's with Jennifer Lopez. And he's with this young, looked
938
00:46:17.050 --> 00:46:20.679
like a freshman in college. What is he doing? She
939
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:23.619
wasn't even that hot. And J-Lo at that point was,
940
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:27.739
you know, the pinnacle of sexy, you know, Puerto Rican passion.
941
00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:30.920
And I just said, this guy's no good. He's a
942
00:46:31.019 --> 00:46:32.159
real fucking weird guy.
943
00:46:32.179 --> 00:46:34.650
Did you ever ask him, like, what he was doing?
944
00:46:34.710 --> 00:46:37.010
No, that day, I was not even writing for the
945
00:46:37.050 --> 00:46:40.590
newspaper anymore, but he knew me. And he went to
946
00:46:40.610 --> 00:46:42.369
my ex-girlfriend and kind of said, is it cool that
947
00:46:42.409 --> 00:46:44.190
I'm here? And she goes, he doesn't do that anymore.
948
00:46:44.210 --> 00:46:46.719
Don't worry about it. And I never said it. I
949
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:49.460
had avenues to give it to people. I never sold
950
00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:51.300
it or said it to anybody. I could have called
951
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:54.289
Page Six. I let him have his fun. But now
952
00:46:54.590 --> 00:46:58.030
that the wagons are circling him, he really should do
953
00:46:58.070 --> 00:47:00.530
a lot of time. But I just have a sinking
954
00:47:00.570 --> 00:47:04.789
suspicion that it's not going to be as long as
955
00:47:04.849 --> 00:47:06.159
we think he should get.
956
00:47:06.179 --> 00:47:08.860
Wait, on a side note, because you brought that up.
957
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:11.059
Do you think there's some truth to the fact that
958
00:47:11.139 --> 00:47:16.550
when powerful... women are the girlfriends um and and men
959
00:47:16.690 --> 00:47:18.489
cheat like you're talking about do you think it's just
960
00:47:18.530 --> 00:47:20.139
because they think that woman has a pain in the
961
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:23.139
ass and she's no longer in her female energy i
962
00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:25.260
mean why is it that you hear about so many
963
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:28.679
men that are married to or dating powerful beautiful women
964
00:47:28.780 --> 00:47:32.239
in in the news you know in the forefront they
965
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:34.519
do things behind their back and you would think as
966
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:37.539
a woman you're thinking no one's better than than this one.
967
00:47:37.530 --> 00:47:41.409
I unfortunately it's a biological thing and it sucks to
968
00:47:41.449 --> 00:47:43.210
hear this and it sucks to say this as a
969
00:47:43.250 --> 00:47:47.050
man but you can be with the love of your
970
00:47:47.090 --> 00:47:48.789
life or the girl that turns you on more than
971
00:47:48.849 --> 00:47:52.829
anything and you still turn your head you still look
972
00:47:52.869 --> 00:47:55.090
and go oh my god she looks at me oh
973
00:47:55.389 --> 00:47:57.380
jesus what a body on that girl it's just the
974
00:47:57.409 --> 00:47:59.980
way guys are it's just the way and women don't
975
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:03.739
understand we talk that way all the time locker room
976
00:48:03.780 --> 00:48:06.400
talk grabbing by the pussy i know it sounds gross
977
00:48:07.019 --> 00:48:09.039
A lot of men do this. And the ones who
978
00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:10.840
say they don't are full of shit because they don't
979
00:48:10.860 --> 00:48:13.059
want to get their wives angry at them. Men talk
980
00:48:13.099 --> 00:48:15.699
this way. And some men have a big enough ego
981
00:48:15.739 --> 00:48:19.000
that they think they can wander off, take down that
982
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:23.079
girl because that woman probably wants to fuck that guy
983
00:48:23.099 --> 00:48:26.159
because he's famous and rich and powerful. There's something in
984
00:48:26.179 --> 00:48:28.159
it for her. There's something in it for his ego.
985
00:48:28.699 --> 00:48:33.480
It's a shitty thing. But unfortunately, it's biological. And I
986
00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:36.179
can't stand that it happens, but it does happen.
987
00:48:36.829 --> 00:48:41.659
I understand the biology of looking and being attracted to
988
00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:44.239
somebody else, but the biology of the acting on it
989
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:45.980
and cheating, do you think that all men cheat?
990
00:48:46.340 --> 00:48:48.860
No, no, no, I don't think that. No, but I
991
00:48:48.900 --> 00:48:52.599
think that there are some men who've had an easy
992
00:48:52.699 --> 00:48:55.320
time of it. I had an easy time of it
993
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:57.500
when I was younger and handsome and I could go
994
00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:01.170
anywhere and find somebody I liked. It wasn't hard. And
995
00:49:01.190 --> 00:49:04.190
then when you realize that, you go, I also like
996
00:49:04.230 --> 00:49:06.699
being with someone too. I like that feeling of being
997
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:10.530
with a girlfriend. And then that lizard brain kicks in
998
00:49:10.550 --> 00:49:12.250
and go, well, if I take care of her and
999
00:49:12.309 --> 00:49:15.539
she's really doing great, what's the difference if I go
1000
00:49:15.539 --> 00:49:17.880
out once in a while and you know, grab a
1001
00:49:17.900 --> 00:49:19.500
girl here and there, if she's into it and I'm
1002
00:49:19.539 --> 00:49:22.119
into it. I still love my girlfriend. I know it's
1003
00:49:22.139 --> 00:49:24.360
a shitty way of thinking, but it's also a younger,
1004
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:26.219
I don't think that way now, but when I was younger,
1005
00:49:26.239 --> 00:49:29.130
I thought that doesn't mean anything. She wants to have fun.
1006
00:49:29.150 --> 00:49:31.750
I want to have fun. And also if you have
1007
00:49:31.789 --> 00:49:34.670
any kind of power or weight in the industry or
1008
00:49:34.869 --> 00:49:40.389
recording store athlete, whatever, whatever, Power is all relative. It's
1009
00:49:40.489 --> 00:49:42.610
hard to put down that gavel and go, I don't
1010
00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:46.099
need to do that anymore. Men always like to check
1011
00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:47.579
in and see if they still got it.
1012
00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:48.280
Right.
1013
00:49:48.420 --> 00:49:48.980
Okay.
1014
00:49:49.099 --> 00:49:52.940
It sucks. It sucks. But the good ones don't. But
1015
00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:55.980
a lot of us were that way for years until
1016
00:49:56.019 --> 00:49:56.639
we got straight.
1017
00:49:57.280 --> 00:49:58.440
I get it. I get it.
1018
00:49:58.659 --> 00:50:01.300
Let's go back to Diddy for a second. Do you
1019
00:50:01.590 --> 00:50:04.469
think that this year is going to bring a downfall
1020
00:50:04.489 --> 00:50:06.469
for a lot more people that we are not aware.
1021
00:50:06.269 --> 00:50:06.650
Of right now?
1022
00:50:07.250 --> 00:50:09.420
Yeah. Yeah. Do you think.
1023
00:50:09.300 --> 00:50:12.019
He's going to give that up to save himself, or
1024
00:50:12.039 --> 00:50:13.219
do you think these people are just going to have
1025
00:50:13.260 --> 00:50:15.070
lawsuits that are starting to trickle out?
1026
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:16.860
The reason why I think that he's not going to
1027
00:50:16.889 --> 00:50:18.949
get the time he deserves is because I've heard that
1028
00:50:19.010 --> 00:50:23.670
he's been complying with the feds for years, that he
1029
00:50:23.730 --> 00:50:26.369
has given them information on people for years, and they've
1030
00:50:26.389 --> 00:50:29.309
kind of kept them in a good light and overlooked
1031
00:50:29.329 --> 00:50:32.610
some of the bullshit he was involved in because of
1032
00:50:33.110 --> 00:50:35.409
the fact that he supplied them with information. If we
1033
00:50:35.449 --> 00:50:38.489
go back to early 91 or 92 when All those,
1034
00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:40.739
I think four or five people died at a party.
1035
00:50:40.780 --> 00:50:42.960
He promoted a concert. He promoted in New York City.
1036
00:50:43.019 --> 00:50:45.179
They couldn't get out of the exits. I think five
1037
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:48.239
people died on a party he was promoting. And I
1038
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:53.010
think after that, he began to cooperate. But yeah, unfortunately,
1039
00:50:53.030 --> 00:50:58.469
there are people that have already made deals and bought
1040
00:50:58.550 --> 00:51:01.170
the videotapes that they heard the feds had. Because the
1041
00:51:01.210 --> 00:51:04.050
feds have contacted people. Look, you're on video. I still
1042
00:51:04.070 --> 00:51:06.429
think J-Lo's on video. And I think that played a
1043
00:51:06.469 --> 00:51:09.699
reason why her and Ben broke apart, but they're still close.
1044
00:51:09.739 --> 00:51:11.960
You can see they still talk. She still sees his
1045
00:51:12.059 --> 00:51:16.670
kids and vice versa. So I think that was somewhat
1046
00:51:16.690 --> 00:51:19.889
of a career move for him. I can't be around you. You're,
1047
00:51:19.989 --> 00:51:23.610
you know, you're poison right now. It's going to come out. So,
1048
00:51:23.690 --> 00:51:26.110
so many people are able to buy these videos and
1049
00:51:26.190 --> 00:51:28.179
save their names, but there are others that are going
1050
00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:31.559
to get trampled and they're going to be dragged across
1051
00:51:31.579 --> 00:51:34.059
the public forums. It's not going to be as many
1052
00:51:34.099 --> 00:51:36.800
people as we think because deals are being cut all
1053
00:51:36.860 --> 00:51:40.010
the time, every single day. And all those people got
1054
00:51:40.110 --> 00:51:42.590
money to burn. And it's not an option. They can
1055
00:51:42.730 --> 00:51:45.610
easily pay people off. Give me the tape. This can't
1056
00:51:45.650 --> 00:51:49.809
get out. What do you need? How many millions? So
1057
00:51:49.849 --> 00:51:51.860
we're going to see some people, but I don't think
1058
00:51:51.889 --> 00:51:54.519
it's going to be the magnificent amount that it could
1059
00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:54.840
have been.
1060
00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:58.659
Are you hearing anything behind the scenes about people that
1061
00:51:58.699 --> 00:52:02.489
we have never heard their names in this light that
1062
00:52:02.550 --> 00:52:03.949
you think are going to come out?
1063
00:52:05.349 --> 00:52:07.949
Yeah, I do. But I don't know necessarily if they
1064
00:52:07.989 --> 00:52:10.489
were involved in the sex as much as they were
1065
00:52:10.510 --> 00:52:13.130
involved in being complicit with what was going on in
1066
00:52:13.150 --> 00:52:15.130
the room and the house at that point. There are
1067
00:52:15.150 --> 00:52:20.489
people watching. Look, I've heard stories about DiCaprio and Tobey
1068
00:52:20.530 --> 00:52:24.670
Maguire and Ashton Kutcher. My God, he was around a lot.
1069
00:52:25.030 --> 00:52:27.630
I would not be surprised if Ashton and Milo Kunis
1070
00:52:27.670 --> 00:52:30.300
move out of America and go someplace far away because
1071
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:31.869
they've had a rough go of it.
1072
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:33.539
I think I read that, that they were moving to
1073
00:52:33.579 --> 00:52:34.519
Spain or something.
1074
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:39.059
Yeah, between Danny Masterson and this bullshit, Ashton's got to
1075
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:42.219
get out of town. I'm not sure that marriage survives
1076
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:46.260
either because of the shit that goes on. So I
1077
00:52:46.300 --> 00:52:48.670
just think that there are going to be people that
1078
00:52:48.710 --> 00:52:51.789
come out that have big names. But, you know, Hollywood
1079
00:52:51.849 --> 00:52:54.469
is such a fucked up town. I was close with
1080
00:52:54.510 --> 00:52:57.309
Harvey Weinstein in the respect that I talked to him
1081
00:52:57.369 --> 00:53:00.030
every week. I went to all the parties. Harvey called
1082
00:53:00.070 --> 00:53:02.039
me all the time. He gave me my book deal,
1083
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:05.059
bought the movie rights. He was so good to me.
1084
00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:08.840
And as good as a reporter as I was and am,
1085
00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:13.860
I never heard about him raping a woman. I heard
1086
00:53:14.139 --> 00:53:17.190
he got laid. I heard he gets women. They want,
1087
00:53:17.590 --> 00:53:21.150
you know, the typical Hollywood casting couch shit. So I
1088
00:53:21.250 --> 00:53:23.449
didn't even know that. And some friends of mine think
1089
00:53:23.510 --> 00:53:26.409
I'm lying. I'm not lying. I think he's a scumbag.
1090
00:53:26.570 --> 00:53:29.570
He's my friend. But if you rape one girl, go away.
1091
00:53:29.820 --> 00:53:32.119
Fuck you. You're a pig. I got a wife and
1092
00:53:32.139 --> 00:53:35.059
a daughter. I can't hear that shit. But I just,
1093
00:53:35.820 --> 00:53:39.260
there are people in Hollywood who knew about this, like
1094
00:53:39.300 --> 00:53:43.349
the Ellens and the Clooneys. So many people went to
1095
00:53:43.389 --> 00:53:46.960
these parties that you start to hear things like, yeah, no,
1096
00:53:47.019 --> 00:53:50.219
I heard at night these things go on all night
1097
00:53:50.260 --> 00:53:52.500
to the next day. And you walk away and go
1098
00:53:52.539 --> 00:53:55.480
back to your big mansion and you forget you heard it.
1099
00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:58.469
But yes, those things were heard. And I think, look,
1100
00:53:58.510 --> 00:54:01.170
I don't think Ellen DeGeneres or Oprah was having sex,
1101
00:54:01.210 --> 00:54:04.809
but I think guys like T.D. Jakes maybe were in
1102
00:54:04.849 --> 00:54:08.369
some compromising positions. And the scariest thing is going to
1103
00:54:08.409 --> 00:54:10.840
be that the people who didn't know they were on
1104
00:54:10.860 --> 00:54:15.030
tape And after watching these videos, the feds can see
1105
00:54:15.070 --> 00:54:18.090
that these people had no idea. And that's going to
1106
00:54:18.110 --> 00:54:19.570
be what really nails him.
1107
00:54:20.050 --> 00:54:20.269
Right.
1108
00:54:20.650 --> 00:54:24.500
The people who didn't know. You can't do that. That's awful.
1109
00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:25.960
I agree.
1110
00:54:26.059 --> 00:54:26.320
All right.
1111
00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:29.099
So we'll be tuning in in May or up till
1112
00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:30.300
May to see what happens.
1113
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:31.079
Yeah.
1114
00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:33.079
And what do you think with the Jay-Z lawsuit?
1115
00:54:34.860 --> 00:54:39.079
Well, the girl had some timeline problems. I believe that
1116
00:54:39.300 --> 00:54:42.260
when she said something, happened to her. I don't think
1117
00:54:42.300 --> 00:54:44.340
Jay-Z and Pete Diddy were even in the same state
1118
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:47.179
on that night. So she's got some issues.
1119
00:54:47.619 --> 00:54:50.400
I did see an interview with her lawyer. which seemed
1120
00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:51.119
really believable.
1121
00:54:51.159 --> 00:54:53.670
He said he had over 60 people come to him
1122
00:54:54.449 --> 00:54:57.909
to hire him for something against Jay-Z, and he only
1123
00:54:57.969 --> 00:55:01.230
took her case and I think two others, something like that,
1124
00:55:01.550 --> 00:55:03.809
because hers was so credible. I had never heard of
1125
00:55:03.849 --> 00:55:05.989
this lawyer. I don't know what his track record is.
1126
00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:10.059
I don't know anything about him, so I don't know
1127
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:11.579
why he picked her, but I did hear that there
1128
00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:14.460
was some timeline issues. Doesn't mean she's lying, I will
1129
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:16.699
tell you. I don't remember stuff that happened to me
1130
00:55:16.739 --> 00:55:19.920
last week, even if it was dramatic. So, you know,
1131
00:55:19.980 --> 00:55:23.619
I think memory is, you know, can be something that
1132
00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:25.989
is iffy, but we'll see what happens.
1133
00:55:26.250 --> 00:55:30.030
That night in question, I said to my audience on
1134
00:55:30.070 --> 00:55:32.630
my show that I was at that show. It was
1135
00:55:32.690 --> 00:55:35.110
probably the last year I went to those award shows
1136
00:55:35.130 --> 00:55:37.369
because I was out of journalism. I was in LA
1137
00:55:37.769 --> 00:55:40.309
working in TV, but I still got invited to things.
1138
00:55:40.949 --> 00:55:43.130
And I remember I went to that, but I really
1139
00:55:43.190 --> 00:55:45.380
couldn't be sure if I went. You know what I mean? Like,
1140
00:55:45.539 --> 00:55:48.519
I think I was there. But that's going to be
1141
00:55:48.539 --> 00:55:51.219
a lot of people's memory. You think you remember, but
1142
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:56.849
you don't quite remember. But look, Jay-Z, look, of course
1143
00:55:57.070 --> 00:56:00.070
his feet were close to the fire. You could just
1144
00:56:00.110 --> 00:56:03.610
see the way Beyoncé' s sister treated him that night in
1145
00:56:03.630 --> 00:56:08.969
the elevator. You can see that Beyoncé and him... There
1146
00:56:09.010 --> 00:56:10.889
just seems to be a little bit of a split,
1147
00:56:11.090 --> 00:56:14.710
not divorce, not separation, but they seem to be doing
1148
00:56:14.769 --> 00:56:16.769
things on their own a little bit, like just to
1149
00:56:16.809 --> 00:56:19.969
distance themselves for a little time. I don't think Jay-Z's
1150
00:56:21.059 --> 00:56:24.739
absolutely guilty as Diddy, but I think he certainly was
1151
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:28.619
around and was there and either took part or witnessed
1152
00:56:29.380 --> 00:56:31.119
the kind of shit that Diddy was doing. I don't
1153
00:56:31.139 --> 00:56:33.530
think anybody was as crazy as Diddy. I don't think
1154
00:56:33.570 --> 00:56:36.789
Jay-Z has that gene in him. Diddy has that gene.
1155
00:56:36.809 --> 00:56:41.699
Diddy's a wild man. You know, guns and drugs. And
1156
00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:44.960
it goes so much further than this. We're talking about
1157
00:56:45.059 --> 00:56:47.619
putting hits on people. And is he the reason why
1158
00:56:47.719 --> 00:56:50.699
Biggie's dead? I always thought it was with that whole thing.
1159
00:56:51.230 --> 00:56:54.369
procession of cars and Giddy in the other truck. Nothing
1160
00:56:54.409 --> 00:56:55.360
sounded right to me.
1161
00:56:55.380 --> 00:56:57.719
I mean, from that all the way to, I don't
1162
00:56:57.739 --> 00:57:01.280
know if you remember that doctor, Ryan Frank, I think
1163
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:01.760
is his name.
1164
00:57:01.820 --> 00:57:04.400
I can't. He was the doctor that did Cassie's.
1165
00:57:04.420 --> 00:57:06.760
Oh, yeah. Good job.
1166
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:08.199
He soon after died.
1167
00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:11.510
She got out of surgery and Puffy said, take these
1168
00:57:11.590 --> 00:57:12.210
out immediately.
1169
00:57:12.250 --> 00:57:13.010
He said, I can't.
1170
00:57:13.110 --> 00:57:14.590
You have to wait a little bit. It'll kill her.
1171
00:57:15.090 --> 00:57:16.949
Could kill her if I take these out. He made
1172
00:57:16.989 --> 00:57:20.769
him take them out. And he's the same doctor that
1173
00:57:20.789 --> 00:57:23.170
did all of Spencer Pratt's wife.
1174
00:57:23.190 --> 00:57:23.690
What was her name?
1175
00:57:23.730 --> 00:57:24.780
Yeah, Heidi. Heidi.
1176
00:57:24.820 --> 00:57:26.059
He did her full body.
1177
00:57:26.139 --> 00:57:27.739
She looked good. Heidi looked good.
1178
00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:30.159
They were very good friends with him. They said he
1179
00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:32.079
never texted and drive. Somehow he.
1180
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:33.059
Yeah, I know.
1181
00:57:33.260 --> 00:57:36.219
Coming out of his own driveway.
1182
00:57:36.260 --> 00:57:40.719
No, no. Look at Kim Porter. I knew Kim. Like
1183
00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:42.820
I said, we all came up together in that era.
1184
00:57:42.980 --> 00:57:46.010
Albie Shore was a great friend of mine. Andre Harrell
1185
00:57:46.030 --> 00:57:49.670
was a friend of mine. Albie didn't die, but was
1186
00:57:49.690 --> 00:57:53.409
in a coma for a long time. Almost died. Andre
1187
00:57:53.449 --> 00:57:56.630
Harrell died of a heart attack. Heavy D, who was
1188
00:57:56.690 --> 00:57:59.769
at Bad Boy Records, died. Kim Porter died of pneumonia.
1189
00:58:00.550 --> 00:58:02.840
And I tell this story. I don't know if I
1190
00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:06.039
told you, but maybe in like 2000, I'm back in
1191
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.519
New York at some club and I see Kim Porter
1192
00:58:08.539 --> 00:58:11.760
with another girlfriend. And I thought Kim was really sexy
1193
00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:14.219
and pretty. And she was kind of looking at me
1194
00:58:14.280 --> 00:58:17.239
and I never met her. And sure enough, a girlfriend
1195
00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:18.550
comes by and says, why don't you sit with us?
1196
00:58:18.969 --> 00:58:20.929
All right. I go sit with them and I'm having
1197
00:58:20.949 --> 00:58:24.030
a good time with Kim and we're flirting. And at
1198
00:58:24.050 --> 00:58:26.409
the end of the night, she says, take my number.
1199
00:58:26.510 --> 00:58:29.190
Let's get together one night. And I remember saying to her,
1200
00:58:29.690 --> 00:58:32.269
and my nephew was with me, I said, What are
1201
00:58:32.289 --> 00:58:34.670
we going to do? You're Puffy's girl. And she goes,
1202
00:58:35.110 --> 00:58:38.110
don't worry about that. That's not even a thing. And
1203
00:58:38.130 --> 00:58:41.989
I remember going, wow, I'm not sure what that means,
1204
00:58:42.210 --> 00:58:44.570
but I don't want to get, I wanted to be
1205
00:58:44.610 --> 00:58:47.130
with Kim, but I'm like, nah, don't call. There's too
1206
00:58:47.150 --> 00:58:49.630
many other things going on. Don't call. And I didn't call,
1207
00:58:49.989 --> 00:58:52.190
but it was almost like I would have learned then
1208
00:58:52.289 --> 00:58:55.190
that either he doesn't care or he likes boys more
1209
00:58:55.210 --> 00:58:57.710
than women. I don't know. But she just laughed when
1210
00:58:57.750 --> 00:58:59.789
I said, you're Puffy's girl. What are we going to do?
1211
00:59:00.210 --> 00:59:04.429
Don't worry about him. That was 25 years ago. Wow. Right.
1212
00:59:04.619 --> 00:59:06.250
So it's been happening a long time.
1213
00:59:06.489 --> 00:59:07.429
Very interesting.
1214
00:59:07.530 --> 00:59:07.849
All right.
1215
00:59:07.969 --> 00:59:10.510
So I want to wrap up by asking. you what
1216
00:59:10.530 --> 00:59:13.710
your thoughts are for predictions for 2025. For me, I
1217
00:59:13.989 --> 00:59:16.909
will say I've noticed that I think this year is
1218
00:59:16.949 --> 00:59:18.920
going to be a year of comebacks. I only have
1219
00:59:18.940 --> 00:59:21.980
started to notice this, though, because I mean, we're having
1220
00:59:22.019 --> 00:59:23.159
a lot of problems. There's going to be a lot
1221
00:59:23.199 --> 00:59:25.760
of violence. There's going to be a lot of like stress.
1222
00:59:26.260 --> 00:59:29.699
But people that were canceled or had a very difficult
1223
00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:31.639
time in the last couple of years, I'm talking about
1224
00:59:32.119 --> 00:59:32.760
Armie Hammer.
1225
00:59:33.429 --> 00:59:33.909
Oh, yeah.
1226
00:59:33.989 --> 00:59:36.409
People like this. All of a sudden, you see.
1227
00:59:36.190 --> 00:59:39.070
Rolling Stone magazine just came out with something about him now.
1228
00:59:39.190 --> 00:59:40.849
He's openly talking about that.
1229
00:59:40.869 --> 00:59:43.349
I love him. I listen to his show. It's great. Oh, great.
1230
00:59:43.590 --> 00:59:46.369
So I've always, by the way, I've always been on
1231
00:59:46.409 --> 00:59:49.550
his side. I mean, he got ruined for something that
1232
00:59:49.789 --> 00:59:51.800
may have been a fetish. It's not like he acted
1233
00:59:51.880 --> 00:59:54.500
on it. He's not a cannibal. And so I never
1234
00:59:54.599 --> 00:59:58.820
understood why these girls got to come out, publish things
1235
00:59:58.840 --> 01:00:02.159
that were intimate and private and sexual, whatever.
1236
01:00:02.780 --> 01:00:04.019
It's not like he ate anybody.
1237
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:08.360
So I really didn't understand why this was so terrible.
1238
01:00:08.460 --> 01:00:12.139
Because the Me Too movement had just had a remarkable
1239
01:00:12.219 --> 01:00:14.849
run and they were trying to wrap up any guy
1240
01:00:14.909 --> 01:00:18.449
and a lot of women out there who had, you know,
1241
01:00:18.570 --> 01:00:22.670
some enterprising ideas thought, hey, I dated him. He was
1242
01:00:22.710 --> 01:00:25.289
kind of weird. I could say some stories, but maybe
1243
01:00:25.309 --> 01:00:28.610
get a payday. But I'll tell you, you know, I
1244
01:00:28.630 --> 01:00:31.090
remember when I first got divorced and like, in the
1245
01:00:31.170 --> 01:00:36.480
early 1991, right? And I met this first girlfriend from
1246
01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:39.139
Staten Island, a really tough Italian chick, sexy as all
1247
01:00:39.179 --> 01:00:43.139
get out. And she would say things to me and
1248
01:00:43.179 --> 01:00:45.760
I would say things back to her in kind of
1249
01:00:45.800 --> 01:00:49.539
like that. I would say like, God, I want to fucking,
1250
01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:51.280
you're so fucking hot. I want to choke you. Like
1251
01:00:51.760 --> 01:00:53.860
stupid shit that if you hear that in the bedroom,
1252
01:00:54.320 --> 01:00:57.159
you and the person can get it. But you can't
1253
01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:00.460
just read that statement in someone else's voice and not
1254
01:01:00.539 --> 01:01:02.969
hear what the other person said in the bedroom. So
1255
01:01:02.989 --> 01:01:04.789
if Armie Hammer said, oh, God, I want to eat you.
1256
01:01:05.809 --> 01:01:09.030
I looked at it and said, yeah, I said stupid shit.
1257
01:01:09.349 --> 01:01:12.849
Tom Segura and his wife, who have a great podcast,
1258
01:01:13.230 --> 01:01:16.789
she admitted that Tom has said to her, you're so beautiful.
1259
01:01:17.150 --> 01:01:19.010
I want to throw your head into the dresser. I
1260
01:01:19.050 --> 01:01:22.519
can't take how beautiful you look. Yes, it sounds weird. But,
1261
01:01:22.780 --> 01:01:26.750
you know, bedroom talk is different for everybody. Armie Hammer,
1262
01:01:27.010 --> 01:01:29.829
gorgeous guy, brought up with like, you know, come on,
1263
01:01:29.869 --> 01:01:34.650
the money for decades, for generations. Yeah, of course he
1264
01:01:34.690 --> 01:01:36.690
can get what he wants. Happens to be very handsome,
1265
01:01:36.710 --> 01:01:40.309
very talented. So they went to take him down. He
1266
01:01:40.329 --> 01:01:42.329
was an easy target and he was a fool. He
1267
01:01:42.409 --> 01:01:45.369
cheated on his wife. He became a cad. It was
1268
01:01:45.429 --> 01:01:48.630
easy to hate him. But you know what? He's got
1269
01:01:48.710 --> 01:01:52.349
five projects in development now. He leaves for Croatia next week.
1270
01:01:53.010 --> 01:01:56.969
Philippines in the spring. The guy's got no agent, but
1271
01:01:57.010 --> 01:01:59.750
has a lawyer. And somehow people have gotten in touch
1272
01:01:59.769 --> 01:02:01.730
with him through Instagram to put him in movies. So
1273
01:02:02.090 --> 01:02:04.449
he's coming back and he will be a comeback. And
1274
01:02:04.489 --> 01:02:07.409
I'm glad he will be. I just think that, and
1275
01:02:07.429 --> 01:02:09.880
I hope I see some comebacks. I do. But I
1276
01:02:09.909 --> 01:02:14.099
think that 2024, like Cat Williams said on the Club
1277
01:02:14.139 --> 01:02:16.820
Shea Shea podcast, is the year of the truth. And
1278
01:02:16.860 --> 01:02:18.920
a lot of things that he said since then have
1279
01:02:18.960 --> 01:02:24.000
come to fruition. And 2025... is just beginning and everything
1280
01:02:24.099 --> 01:02:27.079
from 2024 is rolling over and there's going to be
1281
01:02:27.119 --> 01:02:30.619
a lot more truths coming out because I think we
1282
01:02:30.679 --> 01:02:34.949
need it because this, this, there's so many people who've
1283
01:02:34.969 --> 01:02:37.829
just been lied to. We've all been lied to for
1284
01:02:37.949 --> 01:02:41.190
years about things. You look at the UFOs now and,
1285
01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:45.070
All this shit going on. How did they not know?
1286
01:02:45.110 --> 01:02:48.909
The guy was making ISIS videos hours before the New
1287
01:02:48.949 --> 01:02:52.389
Orleans tragedy. The FBI saw it and there was nothing
1288
01:02:52.429 --> 01:02:57.329
they could do hours ahead of time. we just, we've
1289
01:02:57.349 --> 01:02:59.929
been lied to and fucked with for so long that
1290
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:03.019
all these truths have to come out. The people who lied,
1291
01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:04.920
I don't want to get political, but all the people
1292
01:03:04.940 --> 01:03:09.360
who did said some awful lies about Trump, Russian disinformation,
1293
01:03:09.699 --> 01:03:12.219
they've got to be prosecuted or dragged through the street
1294
01:03:12.360 --> 01:03:15.659
and shown to be the bullshit artists they were. And
1295
01:03:15.699 --> 01:03:18.860
of course, Hollywood's not as important, but yeah, I'm glad.
1296
01:03:18.920 --> 01:03:20.900
I think a lot's going to come to light and
1297
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:23.659
we're going to be shocked. And finally, we're going to
1298
01:03:23.699 --> 01:03:27.130
realize like we've already started to, that Hollywood and the
1299
01:03:27.190 --> 01:03:29.349
people there and the things they say and the people
1300
01:03:29.389 --> 01:03:31.489
they promote doesn't mean shit.
1301
01:03:31.730 --> 01:03:32.389
We're smarter than they are.
1302
01:03:32.409 --> 01:03:34.210
So the people that have been held on a pedestal
1303
01:03:34.250 --> 01:03:39.570
for decades, if not just years, those stories are not
1304
01:03:39.889 --> 01:03:42.449
true necessarily. And I love how you coined it, the
1305
01:03:42.489 --> 01:03:45.389
year of the truth. I think that's really important. A
1306
01:03:45.449 --> 01:03:48.010
lot of people's stories need to be reconsidered and seen
1307
01:03:48.110 --> 01:03:48.730
in a new light.
1308
01:03:49.050 --> 01:03:52.090
You know when you wear a nice outfit and someone
1309
01:03:52.110 --> 01:03:55.550
tells you your slip is showing? It's an old phrase. Okay.
1310
01:03:55.760 --> 01:04:00.510
Hollywood slip is showing. They don't realize how foolish they've looked.
1311
01:04:00.590 --> 01:04:02.199
And now it's all going to come out about the
1312
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:06.329
lies and the bullshit artists. You know, it's all starting
1313
01:04:06.349 --> 01:04:07.389
to come out, which we need.
1314
01:04:07.869 --> 01:04:10.670
One other area I saw this, People Magazine, I think
1315
01:04:10.710 --> 01:04:13.210
was the first to start the year off on this
1316
01:04:13.369 --> 01:04:15.320
notion of the year of the truth. They had their
1317
01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:18.039
cover stories, The Curious Case of Natalia Grace. It's a
1318
01:04:18.059 --> 01:04:21.320
story a couple of years ago came to light where
1319
01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:24.460
we all heard a little rumblings about this girl who
1320
01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:26.119
was of Russian descent.
1321
01:04:26.139 --> 01:04:27.039
She was an orphan.
1322
01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:31.280
She was adopted and her adoptive parents said she was
1323
01:04:31.340 --> 01:04:32.340
a complete psycho.
1324
01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:36.570
I mean, I'm using their... Words, they're not mine. And I.D.
1325
01:04:36.610 --> 01:04:38.610
shared her story a couple of years ago. They're doing
1326
01:04:38.670 --> 01:04:39.130
part two.
1327
01:04:39.190 --> 01:04:41.750
It comes out January 6th and January 7th about what
1328
01:04:41.809 --> 01:04:43.969
really happened to her in her own words.
1329
01:04:44.429 --> 01:04:47.880
And it's very fascinating. Was she that? Was she a girl?
1330
01:04:47.940 --> 01:04:50.119
Was she an eight year old girl who was completely
1331
01:04:50.199 --> 01:04:51.340
left alone and abused?
1332
01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:52.440
Or was she an adult?
1333
01:04:52.900 --> 01:04:54.980
Feigning that she was a child and she was you
1334
01:04:55.119 --> 01:04:58.079
know using it for nefarious reasons so it's very interesting.
1335
01:04:57.800 --> 01:05:00.130
It's the craziest story and i remember when it happened
1336
01:05:00.190 --> 01:05:02.889
i had coven i was like having fever dreams and
1337
01:05:02.949 --> 01:05:05.730
it was a bad time and i remember look reading
1338
01:05:05.750 --> 01:05:08.090
that story or hearing about it and going this is
1339
01:05:08.130 --> 01:05:10.550
the most frightening thing in the world it reminds me
1340
01:05:10.570 --> 01:05:12.510
when people go to a foreign country and think they're
1341
01:05:12.530 --> 01:05:14.829
taking back a puppy but when they get home they
1342
01:05:14.849 --> 01:05:17.280
realize it's like a big rat from some part of
1343
01:05:17.300 --> 01:05:19.139
the world you know and they smoke it on the
1344
01:05:19.179 --> 01:05:23.019
airplane this is like you wake up and Chucky is
1345
01:05:23.079 --> 01:05:26.400
in your house, you know, and, and I haven't, I
1346
01:05:26.420 --> 01:05:29.079
do a poker show in Vegas with Jennifer Tilly, who's
1347
01:05:29.119 --> 01:05:31.639
a poker player. And of course she was in the
1348
01:05:31.679 --> 01:05:34.739
bride of Chucky movies. And we laughed about this saying this,
1349
01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:39.420
Natalia Grace is like living with Chucky, this little midget dwarf,
1350
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:43.590
whatever grown person. It is the scariest story. And I
1351
01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:46.159
can't wait to see it on a it's on discovery, right?
1352
01:05:46.260 --> 01:05:47.550
ID it's on ID.
1353
01:05:47.590 --> 01:05:49.670
Yeah. Yeah. In the next few days. Yeah. It's a
1354
01:05:49.750 --> 01:05:53.210
fascinating story. I mean, First of all, it's even the
1355
01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:55.519
stories in there about her having sex with a regular
1356
01:05:55.539 --> 01:05:57.980
sized man. It's just, it's so sorted.
1357
01:05:58.000 --> 01:05:59.079
With her adopted father.
1358
01:05:59.099 --> 01:06:02.929
Her adopted father. Yeah. If you've ever been turned, I mean, look,
1359
01:06:03.949 --> 01:06:05.630
you've got to have some kink in you if you're
1360
01:06:05.650 --> 01:06:08.860
turned on by a little person. It's just a. I can't,
1361
01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:11.619
I can't even imagine. I talk about curves. I can't
1362
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:12.219
even get into it.
1363
01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:14.300
Oh my God. Wait a minute.
1364
01:06:14.340 --> 01:06:17.929
Speaking of adopted fathers and children, how did Woody Allen
1365
01:06:18.269 --> 01:06:20.230
get through this on skates for so long?
1366
01:06:20.289 --> 01:06:23.110
People still love him, right? Or is he just, I.
1367
01:06:24.889 --> 01:06:29.210
Covered that extensively. I was sent up to Bedford balls
1368
01:06:29.289 --> 01:06:32.329
and to try to find Sunyi when it all came
1369
01:06:32.510 --> 01:06:34.570
to fruition. I was working in New York news day
1370
01:06:34.630 --> 01:06:37.550
and I, infiltrated the dorm room and went to the
1371
01:06:37.610 --> 01:06:42.510
house where Mia Farrow and her adoptive father lived, the conductor,
1372
01:06:42.530 --> 01:06:48.039
I forget his name now. But anyhow, look, I love
1373
01:06:48.059 --> 01:06:50.519
Woody Allen's movies. I grew up on them. He's a genius.
1374
01:06:50.900 --> 01:06:51.619
I love them too.
1375
01:06:51.780 --> 01:06:53.300
And I was in New York and I was at
1376
01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:55.159
all the New York Knick games and Woody Allen goes
1377
01:06:55.199 --> 01:07:00.159
to every game with Soon-Yi. It's over 30 years. Obviously
1378
01:07:00.380 --> 01:07:03.519
they have such true love, these two, that if you're
1379
01:07:03.539 --> 01:07:08.230
still angry, I'm not, and I watched all the documentaries,
1380
01:07:08.289 --> 01:07:11.650
and I know Ronan Farrow, and I saw everything, and
1381
01:07:11.949 --> 01:07:15.150
I'm sorry. I don't think their stories hold up. I
1382
01:07:15.210 --> 01:07:18.969
think they, look, he definitely had an unnatural attraction to
1383
01:07:19.010 --> 01:07:22.670
a younger girl that really was never with him. She
1384
01:07:22.710 --> 01:07:24.760
was with Mia Farrow all the time. She didn't live
1385
01:07:24.780 --> 01:07:27.960
with Woody. I know it's weird, and the Polaroids are
1386
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:32.940
fucking disgusting, but But Soon-Yi loved the attention he gave
1387
01:07:32.980 --> 01:07:35.719
her because Mia didn't like her, apparently. It's such a
1388
01:07:35.820 --> 01:07:38.719
deep story, but the little girl who told stories about
1389
01:07:38.760 --> 01:07:41.940
the train tracks up in the attic, that doesn't work
1390
01:07:41.980 --> 01:07:45.119
with me. It all fell apart during that documentary. So
1391
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:48.590
I have nothing against Woody Allen. The guy's, what is he,
1392
01:07:48.590 --> 01:07:51.949
85 now? He doesn't make good movies anymore. But Woody Allen,
1393
01:07:52.210 --> 01:07:54.650
I like the fact that he said, I'm a real
1394
01:07:54.690 --> 01:07:58.559
New Yorker. Woody Allen was getting just hounded. And they
1395
01:07:58.599 --> 01:08:00.039
go to, he's going to leave New York. He's not
1396
01:08:00.059 --> 01:08:02.199
going to go to the Knicks games. He said, no, no,
1397
01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:05.139
it's my city. I'm not going anywhere. I loved him
1398
01:08:05.179 --> 01:08:07.940
for that. And they, we hounded him for years and
1399
01:08:07.960 --> 01:08:10.460
he stuck around, he stuck it out. And in the
1400
01:08:10.539 --> 01:08:12.969
end he wins. And his book was great. If you
1401
01:08:12.989 --> 01:08:15.670
ever get a chance to peruse his book a couple
1402
01:08:15.730 --> 01:08:17.050
of years ago, it's great.
1403
01:08:18.029 --> 01:08:18.689
It's interesting.
1404
01:08:18.829 --> 01:08:21.350
Now that you're talking, I'm almost thinking that 2025 into
1405
01:08:21.350 --> 01:08:23.220
26 may end up being the.
1406
01:08:23.180 --> 01:08:23.920
Year of the man.
1407
01:08:24.340 --> 01:08:27.500
Because, I mean, we just saw like Luigi, this guy
1408
01:08:27.659 --> 01:08:31.720
who goes and kills somebody, you know, the UnitedHealthcare CEO,
1409
01:08:31.819 --> 01:08:33.920
and people are, you know, making him into a hero,
1410
01:08:34.779 --> 01:08:38.250
obviously because of people's beliefs, but a lot because people
1411
01:08:38.270 --> 01:08:40.510
are obsessed with the way he looks. So, and now,
1412
01:08:40.989 --> 01:08:42.909
you know, and then it started, I think, with Johnny Depp.
1413
01:08:42.949 --> 01:08:45.010
The tide was changing a little bit where people no
1414
01:08:45.069 --> 01:08:47.600
longer were siding with the woman.
1415
01:08:47.689 --> 01:08:49.420
So it is very interesting.
1416
01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:53.899
It's high time that happens. Obviously, Luigi, Johnny didn't do
1417
01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:57.069
the shit Luigi did. I don't consider Luigi a hero.
1418
01:08:57.850 --> 01:09:01.279
I can't stand that he's Italian, but look, you talked about,
1419
01:09:01.319 --> 01:09:05.380
we talked about sex before and how men are. Understand
1420
01:09:05.420 --> 01:09:10.770
this whole thing happened because he had very bad back surgery.
1421
01:09:11.569 --> 01:09:14.649
And because of that back surgery, apparently he couldn't get
1422
01:09:14.689 --> 01:09:20.050
it up. Sex was not enjoyable enough. That drove him bananas.
1423
01:09:20.729 --> 01:09:23.090
And that's the core reason why he did what he did.
1424
01:09:23.510 --> 01:09:25.380
I know he's brilliant and said a lot of things
1425
01:09:25.409 --> 01:09:27.619
in his writings, but that's at the core of this.
1426
01:09:28.079 --> 01:09:30.359
And I think that I'm going to wrap this up
1427
01:09:30.399 --> 01:09:33.539
by saying the year of the truth, 2024. I coined
1428
01:09:33.579 --> 01:09:35.319
an expression that I think this year is going to
1429
01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:39.409
be karma again. I think a lot of people are
1430
01:09:39.430 --> 01:09:41.590
going to get the karma they've deserved for a long time.
1431
01:09:41.789 --> 01:09:43.850
It's already happening in dribs and drabs, but I think
1432
01:09:43.890 --> 01:09:46.029
that's what's going to wash over the next year or so.
1433
01:09:46.630 --> 01:09:50.069
And we're going to really feel good. more clean when
1434
01:09:50.090 --> 01:09:52.350
we think and talk about Hollywood than we ever were
1435
01:09:52.369 --> 01:09:52.890
in the past.
1436
01:09:53.890 --> 01:09:54.569
I love that.
1437
01:09:54.649 --> 01:09:57.510
I hope that does happen. And we'll have to revisit
1438
01:09:57.550 --> 01:09:59.210
this mid year to see how it's going.
1439
01:09:59.449 --> 01:10:00.029
Yes, we will.
1440
01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:03.619
All right, AJ, always a great time having you. Love
1441
01:10:03.659 --> 01:10:03.920
you so much.
1442
01:10:03.939 --> 01:10:05.119
You're going to run away and get married now? You're
1443
01:10:05.140 --> 01:10:07.100
going to elope? What are you going to do?
1444
01:10:07.439 --> 01:10:08.579
I don't know. We'll have to see. You'll have to
1445
01:10:08.640 --> 01:10:08.899
check in.
1446
01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:09.520
Oh, my goodness.
1447
01:10:09.539 --> 01:10:11.020
When do I get to come on your show?
1448
01:10:11.319 --> 01:10:12.439
Oh, you know what? Let's do that.
1449
01:10:12.880 --> 01:10:13.560
We should do that.
1450
01:10:13.590 --> 01:10:14.470
Let's do it now. Let's do it. Oh, wait.
1451
01:10:14.560 --> 01:10:17.729
And before we go, I was actually telling AJ about
1452
01:10:17.739 --> 01:10:19.470
some people that I have on my show next week.
1453
01:10:19.510 --> 01:10:21.930
And I brought up, I'm going to be interviewing Anthony Weiner.
1454
01:10:22.069 --> 01:10:23.949
I have him coming on on the 8th because I
1455
01:10:23.989 --> 01:10:28.710
wanted to get his view after January 6th happens and
1456
01:10:28.750 --> 01:10:30.310
like a whole year in review.
1457
01:10:30.329 --> 01:10:30.430
Yeah.
1458
01:10:30.710 --> 01:10:32.850
But also obviously hear about his scandal. You know, what's
1459
01:10:32.869 --> 01:10:35.829
interesting about Anthony Weiner. He was so good at what
1460
01:10:35.869 --> 01:10:38.090
he did. I thought he would have been a brilliant
1461
01:10:38.149 --> 01:10:41.609
politician and he just screwed it up because he was
1462
01:10:42.680 --> 01:10:45.760
terrible at relationships and he had a sex problem.
1463
01:10:46.060 --> 01:10:47.439
But you know, what's interesting about him.
1464
01:10:47.920 --> 01:10:50.260
He is somebody who ruined his life and his career
1465
01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:52.560
and his personal life with his wife over women.
1466
01:10:52.619 --> 01:10:53.640
He never touched.
1467
01:10:53.800 --> 01:10:54.159
I know.
1468
01:10:54.239 --> 01:10:55.039
Ever realized that.
1469
01:10:55.100 --> 01:10:56.439
Yeah, no, that's a good point.
1470
01:10:56.680 --> 01:10:57.380
Any of these women.
1471
01:10:57.699 --> 01:11:00.470
It's you know, I'll tell you, um, When I was dating,
1472
01:11:02.369 --> 01:11:03.789
I ran into a problem, and I think a lot
1473
01:11:03.829 --> 01:11:07.630
of men do, because social media, and back when he
1474
01:11:07.670 --> 01:11:10.970
did it, it was in its infant stages. Now, there
1475
01:11:10.989 --> 01:11:14.260
were just so many images, not to mention OnlyFans, which
1476
01:11:14.359 --> 01:11:18.079
I don't subscribe to, but there's so many areas where
1477
01:11:18.100 --> 01:11:20.859
a man can have company or see sexy women and
1478
01:11:21.439 --> 01:11:24.979
get the kind of... talk in their ear that they
1479
01:11:25.020 --> 01:11:27.890
don't get at home, whatever. Women can do it too.
1480
01:11:28.329 --> 01:11:30.470
But I think it's more prevalent for men. And it's
1481
01:11:30.510 --> 01:11:34.630
really interesting. Yeah, he never even touched the women. But
1482
01:11:35.630 --> 01:11:39.350
you just wonder, I'm not saying he's right, but was
1483
01:11:39.369 --> 01:11:41.949
there anything lacking in that relationship that he had to
1484
01:11:42.010 --> 01:11:48.729
seek out attention from strangers? Is Uma Abedin a cold woman?
1485
01:11:48.890 --> 01:11:51.130
I don't know. I'm not saying she did anything wrong,
1486
01:11:51.189 --> 01:11:55.220
but every relationship is different. Um, he had it. I'm
1487
01:11:55.239 --> 01:11:57.060
not even a Democrat and I would have voted for
1488
01:11:57.079 --> 01:11:58.640
that guy in New York. He was that good.
1489
01:11:59.100 --> 01:12:00.699
Yeah.
1490
01:12:00.979 --> 01:12:03.319
I'm interested to hear what he's up to. You know
1491
01:12:03.539 --> 01:12:04.680
what I mean?
1492
01:12:04.720 --> 01:12:07.840
He can come back. He's on radio. You know what?
1493
01:12:07.920 --> 01:12:10.880
I just finally started doing my show on a different platform.
1494
01:12:10.899 --> 01:12:13.260
So now I can have people on the show and
1495
01:12:13.300 --> 01:12:14.960
I had someone on last week and I'm going to
1496
01:12:14.979 --> 01:12:18.479
have you definitely next. Let's figure it out. Um, we
1497
01:12:18.510 --> 01:12:21.050
just talked about a bunch of stuff. So, we'll talk
1498
01:12:21.069 --> 01:12:22.850
during the week and we'll figure out a date, but yeah,
1499
01:12:22.909 --> 01:12:25.189
I'll definitely have you on. It'd be a lot of fun. Perfect.
1500
01:12:25.310 --> 01:12:27.720
AJ, it's always a pleasure. Tell people where they can
1501
01:12:27.729 --> 01:12:29.640
listen to your shows. You have a bunch of them.
1502
01:12:29.659 --> 01:12:31.300
I have a bunch of shows. My main show is
1503
01:12:31.380 --> 01:12:34.600
fame is a bitch. Unfortunately, it's no longer free. It's
1504
01:12:34.699 --> 01:12:38.779
behind a Patreon wall, a paywall, but it's a patreon.com
1505
01:12:38.800 --> 01:12:41.640
slash fame is a bitch. Everything is a bitch is free.
1506
01:12:41.939 --> 01:12:45.949
So is relationships is a bitch is free and politics.
1507
01:12:45.989 --> 01:12:48.760
The bitch is also behind a paywall, but, I'm at
1508
01:12:48.810 --> 01:12:51.840
it about eight years and I, you know, I'm not
1509
01:12:51.859 --> 01:12:53.659
slowing down. I still got a lot more to say.
1510
01:12:53.920 --> 01:12:56.520
So I know you did too. So let's hope this
1511
01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:58.000
keeps going on, man.
1512
01:12:58.319 --> 01:13:00.239
And can people find you on Instagram?
1513
01:13:00.260 --> 01:13:02.079
Do you, do you, I don't really do. I mean,
1514
01:13:02.140 --> 01:13:04.739
I post pictures of family and dogs. I don't really
1515
01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:06.680
do anything crazy on Twitter.
1516
01:13:06.720 --> 01:13:08.680
People want to hear your opinions. They got to be
1517
01:13:08.699 --> 01:13:09.689
listening to your podcast.
1518
01:13:09.699 --> 01:13:11.829
You know what? You can even, I take, I can,
1519
01:13:11.930 --> 01:13:14.229
I get back to anybody. You can, anybody can email
1520
01:13:14.250 --> 01:13:18.819
me at Pope Benza at gmail.com. I never not respond
1521
01:13:18.859 --> 01:13:20.560
to anybody who talks to me or ask me a
1522
01:13:20.579 --> 01:13:22.979
question or what have you. So I'm always there. If

AJ has the best insight and opinions and gossip.
1526
01:13:30.060 --> 01:13:31.090
So I love talking to you.
1527
01:13:31.100 --> 01:13:33.010
I feel like I'm at the Beverly Hills hotel with
1528
01:13:33.029 --> 01:13:33.729
your background.
1529
01:13:34.029 --> 01:13:34.289
I know.
1530
01:13:34.670 --> 01:13:37.010
I love it. Or Indochine in New York city. Either way.
1531
01:13:37.050 --> 01:13:37.510
I'm happy.
1532
01:13:37.529 --> 01:13:38.229
Right.
1533
01:13:38.390 --> 01:13:40.329
Exactly. I love it. All right.
1534
01:13:40.350 --> 01:13:41.890
Well, I love you and we will talk to you too.
1535
01:13:42.149 --> 01:13:43.449
