Already Gone

wander off. Now it's a husband and a wife, a girl about nine years old, and a car parked on the side of the road with a bunch of shit on the roof. And I took a walk down the street to get a good look at a bunch of shit in the back living out of their car. I'm not gonna make fun of that. Bad things happen to people. The mother's barefoot, her feet are filthy. She's trying to brush her daughter's hair in the street with the and the kids screaming. I'm like, enough of this. The father

ain't saying shit. I call nine on one, But by bah, this and this, I got a black person in the pickup. I don't want to make this racial, but I'm telling her. Look, you know, I'm hearing screaming and yelling. I'm watching this mother and father treat their little girl, the girl screaming blah blah bah. It's a black couple living out of a car, et cetera. Well, I mean, what are they doing to the girl trying to brush her hair. She's screaming, she runs away. Just it's constant. It's been an hour.

You know. They don't look they don't look good. They're living out of the car. God forbid, God bless them. But this is something's wrong. You gotta respond to a screaming kid. Well, this is the no one. Well do you think she's just mad because it hurts her hair? I said, Now it sounds like you're taking their fucking side. No, no, sir, I'm not, I said, but I could tell your voice. You think she's only screaming because they're brushing her hair

too hard. How about you get down here, send a squad car because they're screaming, barefoot, living out of a car. Can we just come on? What are they wearing? I go back outside. Okay, pink pants on, a little girl, black tank top. Mother's got shorts, no shoes, father's got no shoes, shorts, Come on that, we're gonna send a car. I didn't stay outside, could watch, but the people moved on. But my God, just get them. First of all, I was on hole for thirteen minutes, which is always a

comforting feeling. You know, you gotta have your gun in your hand. I swear to God, who's gonna wait fourteen minutes when someone's at your door, you know, banging at your door trying to come in. It's just dangerous. If I had a gun, I swear I'd be picking people off from the roof. So I don't have one. Anyhow, I said something on Everything is a bitch, because you know, I went to see Rocos track meet yesterday, and you know, I just it got me thinking. I was there for

three hours. Track meets are long, they're like swim meets. And his events are in the beginning four by one real leged and the hundred and the two hundred. In between, there's a whole bunch of races, and before the two hundred comes the girls and boys two mile run. It's endless. He goes, Dad, we're gonna got up at seven o'clock. I said, I know, whatever you want to do, so we opted out of the two hundred. Anyhow, I just see these kids, they just they're so different than we

were at seventeen or eighteen. I just so I'm telling the guys this that you remember back we were seventeen or eighteen, we all had our drivers lives. Okay, Rocko is about to take this test, so he's not target whatever. But I remember I had a car at eighteen years old. It costs four hundred dollars. It was a dots and B two ten stick shit. I never drove a stick ship. My father said, you'll learn four hundred bucks people by sneakers. They can't even get sneakers for that amount now. Anyhow,

we had insurance. We had part time jobs close to our house. We had a girlfriend, two parents. Typically mom was to stay at home mom typically maybe she had some part time jobs like my mom. We had great movies in the movie theater in town, first run movies. We'd go to theme parks. There was no scumbags there. We had a lot of drinking buddies going out on the weekend. We'd have some fistfights, bar fights. Nobody took out a gun. We didn't care about politics. You know,

great music on the radio. My god. We can get into clubs or in our case, the X rated porn theater in Bay Shore, about two two and a half miles away, as long as we had someone else's ID. The guy in the front didn't care strip clubs on a weekend. At seventeen, it was insane. All we needed was ten bucks and we'd get a Schlitz beer or Schmidz beer and the waitress said, can I get you

to the beer? Guys, now I look good? And we would always go in the bathroom with the beer and filled up with tapwater, so it looked like the beer was half full. It's disgusting, but that's we did. To see naked women. Oh my god. And this is in the eighties when the dancers had cssaians C sections closet. It wasn't like it is today in the nineties. But yeah, just very nostalgic. I brought it up because I remember, you know, I was asking Roco questions about who won

this ration? Who's that girl? She's pretty fist. I don't know her name yet, I'm like, I knew. I think I knew everybody's name. I mean, not the underclassmen, but a lot of them. And we had what seven hundred and fifty kids graduate my seeing year. We had a lot of kids, I don't know, just different. It's just different. We had responsibilities, but we all felt like the opportunities we had moving forward were going to be end this.

We were very optimistic about our futures, and I think we all felt like we were going to get a piece of the pie. And I think most of us did, Me, Kenny and Mike did. We got a piece of the pie. We worked hard. It's just different, right, very different today's kids. Let's turn our attention to uh, Megan Marco. Well, she's not having a great time of it. Netflix bosses have

distanced themselves from her and Harry. But now there's reports that the people in the neighborhood in Montecito, very fancy neighborhood, they're avoiding them. Nobody wants to be seen with them. We could all see this coming, right. A lot of these people are rich and famous, and they know that Harry,

especially Megan, talks to the press. She's been known or a lot of people in Hollywood are wary that she and Harry would come into parties and hear things and be a part of conversations and they'd end up in the press. And maybe Megan was doing that, you know, to curry good favor with that particular news paper or reporter who knows, or magazine. I don't know, but that's the way shit has done. You guys know that. But anyhow, they're getting the call shoulder, they're getting the old you know,

the old heisman pushed away. Now there's talk that the head of Netflix, Ted Sorrando, says refused to be on calls with her. If he does get on a call, he wants a lawyer present. This is bad. Things are not good, you know, honestly, it's see if you ask me, Megan Markle has always wanted to live like, you know, a typical Hollywood a lister. And there's no way that they bought that mansion when they can't afford it, despite

Harry's inheritance. But it's got to be getting hard. I mean, it's was it fifteen almost fifteen mil sixteen fucking bedrooms for two people and two little kid. It's how insane? But this making you know, I look at her and I get tired looking at her. She always feels like she has to do something, has to be doing something. And whenever you try too many things at once, everything comes out half assed, you know what I mean. Concentrate

on one or two things and then go forward. Don't You can't do six seven things at once, not give everything you're attention. But I mean, she's got money. If I were her and him, I wouldn't live in such an exclusive area for privacy. She's out of contracts. They're both out of contracts now, so go raise your kids, get a fresh start someplace. Use leave California like all

the other multimillionaires are doing. But you know, we every time I look at these people and I read a story, Look, you got two different people, two different they come from two different sides of the coin Harry say earned in air quotes. Harry earned his money, you know, through his life and duty to the royal family, a long storied past, not all of it brilliant, not all of it. You know, just look at Prince Andrew and some other crazy scandalous

shit that happened, Charles and Camille. I mean, the princess died. There's so much stuff in the background, in the rear view mirror. But overall, that's basically what Harry's life was. And uh, you know that's old money, old powerful money, maybe the oldest powerful, most powerful in the world. Whereas Megan Markle just wanted to reach the success and money level of the Kardashians. Let's face it, that's what she was looking for. She got very friendly with those people.

Now they take her out of the pictures, they erase her image from pictures they post. You know, it's getting bad. But Megan just wanted status, and she obviously got Harry thinking it's not going to be that hard to get it and keep it. She wanted to be an a lister so badly, and here we are. But nothing she's done is getting her there. It's gonna it's been the complete opposite. You know, she did that Oprah interview and she must have thought, Okay, I'm interviewing with Oprah, she's

my neighbor. This is gonna meet a bunch of invites. No, nothing happened after that. Even Oprah was like eh, basically Oprah used them for that interview. You know, And if you really think about it, Harry didn't get that much money from his mother. I mean fourteen million. I think you and I could live off that money forever if we did it, invested it wisely, and you know, had some financial planners, et cetera. But I don't know what

he got from the queen. But you know, he did get fourteen mil to live off of, and I think that's why he's gonna always want to be back in his father as good graces because that money he's now seeing, it's not easy to come to come to a level of life where that money is available. And I feel like, what's going to happen to them as their money dwindles and opportunities get you know, shattered, will fall through the loops, whatever you want to call it, and people stop picking

the phone up, which is happening now. I think then you're going to see a lot of desperations set in. And I think at that point, I've seen this with other celebrities. They resort to doing things that well, people like you and I just wouldn't do one thing about, you know, having paparazzi finds you at a park, calling him ahead of time to have them show you off doing something so sweet with your children, whatever the hell. But you know, so many people who are famous don't

show their kids' faces. And I understand that, but I think when you're desperate enough, don't be surprised if Megan and Harry sell photos of them and their two kids for the highest bidder. You know, get five, six, seven million, whatever the price is, they'll do it. Kids are getting older every day, obviously, like we all are, and they're not infants, so to speak. So you know what, I think they'll risk that. Like I said, they live in

a very wealthy community. This is not like Nancy Guthrie's mom on No street Lights, where somebody could come in and take you out of your home. It's very different. In Montecito. You got Jennifer Aniston already on a Grande, Rob Lowe, Ellen and Porsche Oh Brah. Like I said, it's huge money driven through it many times. And man, I mean it's it's like an hour outside of La But hey, you know, on the back end of your career, no problem with that at all. But I think you're

gonna see pictures of for sale. It ain't like they have a wedding to go to and make those pictures available. That came and went, but the kids, no, brod Angie did kind of the same thing. But they did donate all the money they got, they said. So I think Megan wouldn't donate a fucking penny. I just think that she thought being married to a prince would make her

life ultra glamorous forever. But then you know, Harry doesn't kind of stand out like the man he once did with the uniform on and a full head of hair. And it's different now he's an older man. I'm not old, but he's an older guy now. And people are turning their back on these two. But you look at Megan outside of being a halfway decent actress, what are her job skills? She likes to cry and suit people, that's her job. And that they have these fake titles, the Sussexes.

They hold on to them very tightly and dearly. That's the only thing that keeps them in the public eye. It's all about appearances to Megan, and not that the sussex thing helps her. But meanwhile, when Ted Sarandas doesn't want to take your call at Netflix, you're your desire to stay and get work in Hollywood. They're slowly disappearing because what's being said now is that she and Harry lost Netflix millions of dollars, and Ted Sarandos doesn't want to talk to her. He sees her for what she

is now. I could have told him his years ago, way before she and Harry got that hundred million dollars from the streaming service. I don't know what he was thinking, one hundred million to see what they could do they still have like a documentary and a movie in the in the shoot over at Netflix, but it's Netflix put millions behind that deal and they didn't see a return

at all, so they cut the loss. They cut the loss. Now, if you're Megan trying to make these gift baskets and edible flower rangements, all that bullshit he's putting together, you know, you can't talk about a loss. You just keep working and working. But there's no point for Netflix working on that brand when there's no show and it could take years to launch your brand and return all that investment. I mean, I think it took put It take Amazon

almost ten years to become profitable. Even Hallie Bieber her beauty line Road stupid name by the way that I hate the name Road Rhode terrible. She didn't return money to investors for just over three years. Said, you know it takes time. But boy, people did not like working with her on that show with love people there saying there's no love loss between Megan and Netflix and her arch Well production company. She made life hell on them. People said, they also reminded us that what I've always

said that she's the mouthpiece, she's the ball. She wears the pants, and they said during meetings in person, when Harry would speak up, they could see Megan put her hand on his thigh and either pinch him or kind of let him know, you're talking too much, let me handle this, and she would pipe down, and that was noticed by people a Netflix. They didn't feel good about that.

She lost that stupid podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder stupid, and now Netflix, which they said, has a surplus of all these Azever products, all the tea and baking mixes. They got about ten million bucks in value, and the company has been apparently giving these products away to staffers for free just to get rid of it. And the rest of the inventory is being sent back from Netflix to Harry and Megan. Terrible. And here's the big breakup.

When Ted Sarando stops following as Ever and Megan on Instagram, Well that's the new breakup. That's what everybody knows. It's done, you know. I mean his wife, Cole Avon, who is the former representative for the Bahamas for US, big tall black woman. Don't know much about her, but apparently she's still friends with Megan. But Ted Sarandos the boss fed up and uh, I mean, as ever you look at Netflix now, I always search for a movie. I saw something good last night, See Sue, which is a finish

expression for a soldier that can't be beat. It's a good movie. The second one came out, See Sue something whatever the fuck? But watch though they're good. They're good. It's about a man who's behind Russian lines in World War Two. He's finished and man, he destroys these Russians that are after him, and he just the war's over, but he just wants to keep going as a one

man record machine. So fun, fun stuff. But you look at as ever against the other stuff that Netflix has and does measure up to Bridgerton or Squid Game Now you come on, By the way, can we talk about Squid Game two for a second? I love Squid Game one. I think all of us did. They kept us so intrigued and interested we never said aything like it. And that big red light green Light one two three beginning where people getting shot and killed. That was insane TV.

And then season one ends with the guy going to see his daughter. No, he decides to go back to the games again. When he at that point, I'm like, how do you leave your daughter. You got to go back to your kid. No, he went back to squid game. I couldn't like it. I didn't get far through these episodes. Took too long to get to the games. There was so many plot lines. I don't like it, and I think the novelty of the first movie wore off. The

challenges felt kind of repetitive. You could tell Season two is just done for the money. But now there might be there's gonna be a season three. I won't watch a second of that. No, anyhow, back to Meghan Markle look Man. Last week she was back in her happy

place in her garden in the backyard. This time she was putting together two hundred and fifty five dollars luxury flower boxes and the pictures of the kids, Lillabette and Archie helping out to promote the collaboration Gardenians and peonies. Also tea and honey. Listen, I like flowers every week, every month. I like tea and honey. I have it

every night. They're using a floral company, a delivery company called high Camp Supply, And if you know anything about high Camp, they absolutely go against the ideals that the Meghan and Harry say they're so committed to this company. The ship's orders from California from a farm FedEx priority overnight, so the customers can get their beautiful flowers within twenty four hours of being cut. And that's how the filthy rich can have flowers on the table for a week

every week. Unbelievable. I mean, that's not a bad niche business, but can you see people spending that kind of money two fifty five to get tea honey and flowers just get them individually. Spend anything near that amount of money, and it's more fun to go pick your own flowers out, change them up every two weeks. Whatever the fuck. But they're just being hypocritical. They love to talk about climate change, reducing on carbon footprint through that company called travel Ass

she's collaborating with them. Meanwhile, this is increasing carbon emissions on a daily basis for flowers that die in a week. So go fuck yourself. Hypocrites say, these celebris don't ever listen to what they say to do or how they tell you to act. They're all full of shit and they'll do anything, anything, just to make everybody else in town or in the business think they're doing fine. But you got Netflix, who put millions of dollars behind this deal, never saw a return, so they cut a loss. I

understand that if you're in business, you get it. I don't know, but now they're not even like they live in the same neighborhood, and that's got to be awkward to live in the same neighborhood as tens are in and see each other at stop signs or who knows where the dog park. I don't know, but now comes word Megan has trademarked twelve different products in Australia because that's when she and Harriet touring next month. So she

look she's still pushing awares like crazy. She might be a flighty pain in the ass, but you can't say she's a quitter. I mean, she just keeps pushing. But I'll tell you what, all that product that Ted's around us is shipped back to her. Harry's gonna either have to rent out a storage bin or I was thinking, maybe just choose twelve out of your sixteen bedrooms to store up all that shit that wasn't sold. How about that? Can you make it on four bedrooms? Can you try that? Ridiculous? Look?

I gotta bring this up. I was gonna do it yesterday. I didn't do it. I listen. So Bill caused me has been order to pay his rape accuser, Donna Mott Singer, over nineteen million dollars in damages. A jury found that he drugged and sexually assaulted her more than fifty years ago. It's a jury in California. They announced nineteen point two five million in a judgment on a third day of deliberations.

Wow Mott Singers always said that it caused Me sexually assaulted her after giving a wine and a pill that left her unconscious back in nineteen seventy two. Said she woke up in her own house with her clothes off except her underwear on. No top, no braw, no pants, and she just knew she'd been drugged and raped by Bill Cosby now cause me didn't testify. His lawyer insisted that they're going to appeal this decision. I mean fifty

four years to get justice. I you know, I know the other women who came forward, A lot of them didn't get justice. But the one who got the nineteen million in change is saying, I hope this helps them a little bit. No, not really, unless you crack it open. And then, you know, give people some little pieces of your nineteen point twenty five mil. How about that chop off one hundred grand? He hundred grand air be a

big shot. But she's calling this the nineteen million in damages icing on the cake, because she says it's so important that she was believed in. Cosby in some way has to be accountable for what he did to me. In some way, I would imagine if he's been ordered to pay nineteen point two five mil and they gave her punerative damages too. Haven't been determined yet, but a little over nineteen mil ain't too shabby. And Cosby is running out of dough, he said, I love. I wish

I could do him. Due to allegations, I really can't jello pudding, but he said, due to allegations, I have not worked in about ten years or more. That means I've not earned a cent for my being an entrepreneur, writer, television performer accepting reruns, and my net worth has gone down like a submarine with no motor, or it's gone down as fast as you did on the The Playboy Mansion after slipping a mickey to a hot chick. Okay, but cause was getting hit. He's taken some well deserved HiT's.

A Santa Monica jury found them liable for raping Judy hughth Hutch at the Playboy Mansion back in seventy five. She was only sixteen years old. He paid her half a mill He paid three point five MILLI in a settlement to Andrea Knstan, who I believe began all this back in twenty oh six. Another settlement in twenty nineteen with seven accusers that caused him god knows what. Convicted of aggravated assault in decent assault in twenty eighteen for

drugging and sexually assaulting constant in two thousand and four. Yeah, she was the one who came out for Let me say this, and you guys know that I always disliked this guy way before any news of him raping came out. I didn't I didn't need to hear that. I just didn't like the guy for the way he spoke to me about Chris Rock and his overall demeanor. Just thinks he's better than you, et cetera. But let me say this, and I'll be honest. Look the nineteen million dollar judgment.

It's outrageous, even if he did do what he was accused of doing. It's fifty four years ago, and the burden of proof is less in a civil case. And because that money is so hard, I hate to say I hate the guy, but I hope he wins on appeal. I mean, what's a nineteen million dollar judgment plus punit of damages? Is that the actual damage that was proved by a plaintiff who waited fifty years to complain. So look, I don't want to get in trouble for asking this,

but it wouldn't be me if I didn't. I feel like as a man, i'd almost I think I'm saying I'd allow this to happen to me for twenty million dollars fifty years later. I hate to say it. Hear me out, Hey Jay, this is raight. I look at I get it. And I'm not saying that this is not something women you know, should have a rough time with going to This is awful. This is awful, I'm sure last years, et cetera, et cetera. But then for some chicks it doesn't. Maybe she's one of those hicks

that it just rolled off for. Back was a night of crazy sex, and maybe I don't know. We don't know much about her, do we, But you know, am I crazy? I mean, look, there are millions of women out there who can't stand their husband or boyfriend climbing on top of them. But they stay, they do their wifely or girlfriendly duties, but they can't stand it. I've talked to girls who said, oh my god, the last five years, every time you want to have sex, I

would gag. All right, that's not being raped. The man's not hurting you, he's not drugging you, but he's still having sex with a guy you wish you weren't. Those of themen can't get dull. I mean, they can divorce their husband and gets okay, fine, But I mean overall these women are doing it for free and living unhappily. How many of them would love to get their hands on nineteen point two five million? Lady? Tell me from crazy. I mean, I'm not saying it's not a big deal.

You take a pill, you wake up, you feel a sensation, your clothes are off. I'm not saying you shake that off in a week, But twenty million dollars it's for something that happened fifty four years ago. I'm sorry. First of all, it's too much money. And when you put things out there like that, then you stop going. I'd go through that. I'd go through it. I let someone chop off my fucking pinky right now with no anesthesia, for nothing, for twenty million. Take the other one too.

I rarely use them. I used you know what I mean? Just take them? Is that worse than a rape? I don't know. I remember when I was a kid, we had a weather man on Channel seven Eyewitness News. His name is tex A Twine, big drinker. All the guys back then drank a lot. Roger Grimsby was a big drink. A lot of newsmen and news reporters were known to

be big drinkers. And I hate to say, but I couldn't believe how fun it was being a reporter at the New York Daly News where we'd all go out, six seven of us at lunch to get a couple of martinis at this bar that was in our building. It was a you know, a restaurant bar in our building. Like it was. That was like a every few day thing. You could go upstairs with a buzz and write your column. You could smoke a cigar in your office. We even had a bar in a office, me and Michael Lowdy's.

I stole a New York Post newspaper metal box that you see in the city. I stole that one. That one wasn't it wasn't nailed down or bolted down to the sidewalk. I came back with my car, took it and brought it upstairs, and we kept liquoring there. It's a different world, so I didn't really care that newsmen drank. I just oh, you know, even guys at the NFL Football pat Summer all Tom Brookshire, the Yankee announces the met and Howie Rose, so many guys were drinking on TV.

So tex Antoine is the weather man and he'd sache out acting all cool and shit and six PM weather forecasts. And there was a story right before his weather forecast about an attempted rape of an eight year old girl. And here's where tex Antoine's career and life went down the dream. He gets to the map and he says, with rape so predominant in the news lately, it's well to remember the words of Confucius, who said, if rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it. Obviously within fifteen minutes.

You know, the phones are lightening up like Christmas time. Eyewitness News got six hundred and fifty, six hundred and sixty five calls from people pissed off about that comment. He made it on her apology, they suspended him, and after his apology they got another four hundred and fifty calls, and some of them were all in favor of him coming back. Who cares what happened with that girl. You know, it wasn't a big deal what he said. I beg to differ, but you know, I'm not going to go

that far late, lie down and enjoy it. But I will say, twenty million guys, she doesn't even know what happened in terms of I don't want to say the wrong thing. I imagine it was straight up sex. You know, I don't think he put things in her body. I never heard a girl make that comment. So he was knocking these chicks out. Back then, klayludes were big. I love klayludes. You can't get him now. And it wasn't a big deal to say to a girl you want to share a klaylud And yeah, okay, like think what

you want, say what you want. But that was very predominant, and you could say, oh, the Playboy Mansion had a strict rule no drugs, yes and no, yes and no. They didn't like it. At the parties. They had security out front. They were trying to minimize that. But you know, you're going to bathroom. No one knows what you're doing in the bathroom. You come out with a couple of chicks, and you know, a little toot blah blah bah. But the mansion, a lot of bad shit went down there

over the years. I mean, hefnon was given out qulayludes. That was the thing in the seventies and eighties, klayludes. So if that's what he did to this chick, I don't know. Girls, I mean, nineteen million in change fifty four years later, would you go through it? I personally would, And I'm a man. I'm not saying if you wouldn't go through it, you're crazy, or if you would go through it, you're a half a whore. I'm just saying

it's a lot of dough. If she got a million, I'd say, well, you know, a million bucks half goes to taxes in y But nineteen boy too far? Think about it, that's all I'm saying. Think about it all right. Tomorrow is some information on the Reacher star who beat the shit out of his neighbor out in Tennessee. I know a little bit about this story because one of my patrons, believe it or not, is related to this guy through marriage. So I have some inside stuff on

this clown. But I also don't think the star of Reacher is a terrific guy either. I think he was a case of road royge road roage royd rage plus another man wanting the cameras on him for various reasons, which I get into tomorrow. That's it for today. AJ Benzi here with your daily Unfiltered podcast from March twenty fifth, twenty twenty six. Hang in there, guys, talk to you soon.
