Fame. He'd liked to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. Is the guy put the cock in the peacock network? Okay, bitch, Hey everybody, aj Benzi here with Fame as a Bitch. This is your free show for May twenty seven, twenty twenty four, Well Memorial days, working on Nice to you. There's no arguments in your backyard. Maybe you're playing cornhole or a game that's close to my heart, a little budgie ball, measuring the ball with three fingers. I have to
love that. I have to love that. When my father and uncle's family would play budgie in the backyard with them, you could tell it was something a new from their roots. It was in their DNA, the way they threw a ball, where they counted and measured how long the ball is away from the little ball to Ballina. Young Italian kids have no idea what butchie ball is now. It's a shame. Any how, This is your show,
your free show. Hopefully many of you are going to patreon dot com slash Fame as a Bitch to get on my Patreon page, which you should be doing by now, or you might be interested in listening to me and Mike Acamino's newest show, Everything is a Bitch. Now we realize, let me just get this out of the way. We realized that the first show that came out last week was filled with noise. We know that, but we still stormed ahead and laughed through it because there was nothing we could do.
Our schedules are packed, very busy. Mike does a number of shows, as do I. Not to mention, the rest of our lives are keeping us busy as well. But there was a very big windstorm the night before out New Orleans where Mike lives, and the landscapers were not scheduled to be there that day, but they shut up because there were a lot of branches that fell off trees in this beautiful neighborhood Mike lives in. There was
no stopping them. They got out of trucks like they were part of a battalion and cleaned up those streets, but did it with a lot of noise, and of course the doorbull went off a few times, because that's just the way it is. Mike's leading an exciting life. What can I tell you either way, that's not gonna happen again. It just happens, and all look at that show and think like Neil Terrence, did oh do better? What a bad show? Shut the fuck up, Just shut up.
It's free food. Eat it and don't complain. The portions are small. Just eat it. Jesus all go to Patreon, drop the five bucks and hear the good stuff, the inside stuff. The breaking story is most of my personal stories. You'd love it. Every morning or just about I go to seven eleven, I get a cup of coffee and a little piece of a donut five five. I don't really like to do it. When I think how much money it costs for the month, I'm like, if I
did this every day, it's one hundred and foy dollars a week. That's ridiculous, is it? No, it's not. It can't be. If I just say five bucks a day, there's yeah. It it ends up. And I'm like this free coffee at the hotel. I don't need to
fucking blaze donut fatso just stop me anyhow. Oh the comparison I'm was trying to make is why am I spending that five bucks on a donuts and a coffee when I could just get a podcast that gives me great news, makes me laugh, makes me cry, gives me the ins and outs of the
culture of Hollywood, and not just do it anyhow big story. Social media people are bashing Lady Gaga because Lady Gaga recently said that she went on stage for some of her twenty twenty two Chromatica Ball tour dates even though she tested positive for COVID. Oh my god. Yeah. She made this revelation during a Q and A in La the other day. She was celebrating the premiere of the Gaga Chromatica Ball It's a Concert special debut on HBO. The other
night. I watched it in spots. I was flipping back and forth. I didn't like what I saw, and I like Lady Gaga a lot. I love her, I didn't like and I know her when she was Stephanie Germanada working at a restaurant in New York City called Parma. Okay, so I go back. I didn't really love what I saw. I was waiting for specific songs. Possibly I missed them because if I heard some of the songs I really love, I would have liked the special. But I know
I must have tuned in at the wrong times. Either way, you want to know, it's so weird. If this had premiered a few years ago, nobody missed it because Lady Gaga was so hot. Back then, everything she did was magnified a hundred times. Who she's dating, where she was, what she's wearing. You know, she was winning every award. Back then, it was Gaga all day, all night. Now it's Taylor Swift. She's the one getting all the attention wherever she goes. Is she with
Travis? Is she not with Travis? Is that a hickey out of neck? Does Travis have a heart on? Look closely whatever she's saying. I mean, look, the NFL actually fixed their schedule for the beginning of next year with respect to where the Chiefs are playing, and now that's gonna line
up with where Taylor Swift will be on her tour. You imagine this multi billion dollar league is now well, let's just let's just before we go ahead with the schedule, let's see where the Chiefs are playing and where Taylor is with respect to a tour. This is unprecedented. More and more, I gotta be honest, More and more women are basically guiding the way sports are headed. And I feel good about it. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna be a dick and say, oh no, I like it.
I like that. The WNBA finally has caught fire, basically because Caitlyn Clark, which I'll get to it a bit, the white girl who became a superstar with respect, her scoring and her shooting ability got drafted and now our pro career begins. But just one single picture of her or video of her from TMZ walking through an airport with other teammates to make a flight to a game changed everything. Because we can't see Caitlyn Clark walking to a playing like
you and I board. The league decided not from here and in all chartered flights for women in the WNBA. That's a good thing. So yeah, it's unbelievable. Taylor Swift is fixing the NFL schedule. Caitlin Clark has changed the way women flaw It's really something, ladies, you should be proud of yourselves. But Gaga actually told them moderately of the night I did five shows with COVID. You would have thought she said, I killed my parents with
a shotgun. And she explained that you know she'd worked with COVID. She said, I shared it with everyone on my team. I shared the news with everybody. I told them, I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable at work. You don't have to perform, you don't have to work that day, you can go home. But I'm gonna do the show because I didn't want to let the fans down. The way I saw it, she said, is the fans were putting themselves in harm's way every day by coming to
the shows. And she said, so, you know which I find so god I like at backstage there are multiple costume changes. She kept saying to her staff, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. You know, she wouldn't disclose details about exactly, you know, when she had this and the exact dates is. But you can figure it out. And of course there's got to be details about security measures, et cetera that her team provided for employees and spectators. But okay, let's get to some number crunching. Here
the status for disease control. They say that two one hundred and forty four thousand deaths in America were linked to COVID nineteen and twenty twenty two alone. Okay, now she said what she said. I admire her for honesty. It's the only way to be. When you're honest, you got the strength of the world behind you. Don't lie. Tell the truth. It hurts a lot less getting reprimanded for the truth and getting penalives for a lie. I've tried both, trust me. People are up in arms over this thing.
They have nothing better to do. The Frankkenstein mob is all over social media bashing Lady Gaga for putting fans lives at risk. Really, really, why did you take your overweight grandmother, who also suffers from COPD or diabetes to see Gaga? Well that was a bad idea. She doesn't belong at a Gagat concert in the first place. Actually, I would love to know the real math here. How many people who saw those shows, those five
shows ended up with COVID and DT. That's an experiment you could actually do. It's not that hard to get the names of all the people. I can't do it, but some people can do it. I'd love to see those numbers. Instagram was on fire, considering she's chronically ill herself. This is really messed up. Why is it so often those of us who've tried to keep safe end up with long COVID, and people like this can get it a million times and spread it around without a care, and they don't
get long covid. I'm so exhausted. Somebody else said I won't like cut covid once and ended up with long COVID. Her actions were so irresponsible. That's all I have the energy to talk about this. Oh poor guy. Here's the part of the show where I say that I think a lot of people who've been saying this suffering from long COVID are just full of shit, and they don't want to finish their years acting as if they have a handy. I'm sorry, they want to finish their life acting as if they have
a handicap. Really, I feel that way. I see these people. These are the people who have nothing wrong with their feet or legs, but the and the wheelchair when they're boarding airplanes so they can get to the front of the line. I have people in my life who love to talk about what they're suffering from. You know, these people. There's long COVID really a thing. I know it is, But is it that much of a thing where you can't get all with your lives? Now, if you're walking
around with numb feet and numb hands. That is a different story. If you got the sniffles here and there, you can't catch your wind as much as you all right, Just maybe get in shape. Maybe do some exercise in the morning, thirty minutes, that's all, Just thirty minutes, run in place, do some pushups, do some situps, whatever. Far too few of us are doing that, not as I said us, because I'm one of the people wants to do it. But trust me, I just
don't believe it. All the long COVID suffers, I don't. Somebody else said, this is disgusting, don't want my fans to have but instead she's happy to possibly disabled him kill them. I'm truly disappointed at her. It's so messed up. If literally everyone could experience long COVID for a week, they probably not behave this way. It's atrocious. Put her in prison. Someone else said, what are you in for? On robbery? You rape you? I performed five shows with COVID. Whoa step back? Are you
idiots aware? Not you, but the people who comment are they aware? Okay, what are you so worried about? She did five shows with COVID, and what are you worried about? Think of it. Really give it thought. If that's what a person can accomplish while having COVID to do two and a half hours on stage, singing, dancing, then what are you worried about with your measly life. You can't into the post office without huffing and puffin. I'm telling you, get in shape. It ain't long COVID.
It's that you're out of shape. And I can say that because I'm out of shape. See, there's always a reason why I get on these platforms because I know I just don't because most of the time I'm the regular person reporting from the front. Let's take a look at the view, which I'd rather not do, but sometimes you have to the stupidity that comes out of that show. I've got to comment on Sonny Houston, who I find this is what gets me. She's so attractive. I'm not even gonna get
into the fact that she had a breast reduction. I can't stand when pretty women do that. Just don't do it. I don't want to seem like he's so shallow, I know, but like when you're pretty or even beautiful. I go as far as to say Sonny Uston is beautiful. I really would why are you getting a reduction? Is because you hate men? Is because you can't stand that men might find that part of your body attractive,
so you've gotta take some of it off. I know about the back aches, Okay, fine, but there's plenty of women out there who have an ample bosom who don't get the reduction, and they're loved and they love their lives. I just feel like the quick reduction is like, fuck men, I hate men. I'm in live my own life, my own way. That's what I think. Either way. Sudy Houston always says dumb shit on
the View. She the topic of Caitlin Clark came up, the basketball player, and she decided to discuss the privileges Caton Clark has, and that, of course pissed off Dave Portnoy. You know this guy is very opigionated. The owner of Barstool Sports. He's become such a big figure in our lives. He is part of everyday culture if it's not Barstool Sport, the pizza contest, everybody takes one by Everybody's rules, where he judges pizza places all
over America. He's raised millions of dollars for small businesses during COVID. He's a terrific guy, great American. He's pissed off because Sunny Houston suggested that Caitlin Clark's achievements are from white privilege, and not only that, also pretty privilege and tall privilege. Have you heard of this tall privilege? We all know in case, should not with the rest of the world. Right now, Caitlin Clark is a rising basketball star. She excelled at Iowa University,
became a top pick for the Indiana Fever of the WNBA Draft. She's had some challenges. This is a twenty two year old girl who is now attracting huge crowds to the WNBA. She's the reason why they're now getting chartered airplanes to fly to and from games. Up until Caitlyn, that wasn't happening. They were flying coach. But there was a video, I believe by TMZ where they saw her walking through an airport and the WNBA looked awful because this
girl is so popular that she'd be mobbed at airports. It'd be actually be unsafe. So they went in their wallets to decide, and we can afford trotted jets for our players. What scum bigs. They could always afford it, just didn't want to do it. This girl is setting records two million dollars in ticket stales at a recent New York Liberty game, but Sunny houston't
because Caitlan's white and tall. Is so upset about this. She emphasized the existence of pretty privileged white privilege and tall privilege multiple times, and Dave Portnite said back, somebody should inform this woman who was being labeled as racist. They're all these players are top athletes and it's Caitlin Clark's playing style that gained notice, not her race. Right. They've been other white women playing for the WNBA, and this fuss wasn't made. There's Diana Tarassi, Paige Buker's,
Cameron Brink, There's many others. But Sonny houstdon't discussed Caitlyn Clark's popularity in connection with Jamel Hill's influence or her views on the influence of Clark's race and sexuality on her face. Jamel Hill was once a sports anchor at ESPN Sports Center. She is a very upity, female black liberal sports reporter. Couldn't hold down her job. I think it was three million dollars a year at ESPN because of race baiting. They tried to put her on different shows.
It always failed. She came on the show with an agenda constantly. She's no longer there now, Sonny said, Caitlin Clark is bringing this money, these sponsorships, we hope into the league and other players will better from it. That's where it's have stopped. But she went forward, and of course she will bring these benefits of the league. But Sunny used to have to go further. Pretty privilege, tall privileged, white privilege. A stupid
bastard. She had to highlight the demographic composition of the WNBA, and she emphasized the need to combat stigma against LBGTQ plus individuals in basketball. Look look, man, if they're being pretty white and tall privileged, and they must they have to be acknowledged that there's black privilege, especially within the realm of basketball. They don't call this woman Sonny because she's bright. Just remember that
this is the same thing as Tiger Woods when he joined the PGA. He was a phenomenal player who happened to be black and brought hordes of people to the PGA events and more money for all the PGA players. And they acknowledged and appreciated how he elevated the sport to most Americans saying things happening with Caitlin Clark just connect the dots. But this is typical for the view the show that has to apologize for statements they made and lies they said in the past
almost weekly, and they'll probably have to walk this back to. What amazes me even more is they still have an audience that agrees with what they say to very very small percentage of liberal Americans, thank god, but it's there. But Sonny used to cannot get through a show without starting, without without stating false and controversial arguments about race. That's her thing. She makes herself and African Americans as a whole victims of the same system that provided her wealth
and recognition and employment. How does she not see this many many years ago? I used to like the view, not stomach the minute Sunny Houston opens her mouth and the camera pans to her. It's always racist, it's always raised banning words that tumble out, and it's time to view just parts with her and gets somebody else on the show. What amazes me is many rich, affluent and successful people choose to be angry and resentful and basically, in
Sunny Euston's case, hates white people and she's part white. You know, And this woman works what two to three hours a day. I'm being generous, it gets paid three million dollars. That's certainly privileged to me. This woman, by the way, you should know because it's been found out she had ancestors who owned slaves, and she's still talking this shit. These women on the view are always trying to find racial problems where they don't don't exist.
Whether it's Whoopy or Joy or her or the other two assholes. I think that the names I don't even care. They's so non important. The one who worked for Trump and now she's a full blown liberal. The reason why this girl is bringing so much attention to the league is her ability, not her race. The girls said every scoring record there was in college, So get your mind out of racism. It's a double standard, man. Not one white TV personality would ever say anything like that about a beloved black
athlete. The only reason she thought she could is because she's black, and black people aren't racist, only white people are. Just keep your eyes on some of these talking heads on TV who happen to be a mixed race. I never understood this. You know, if your mom or your dad is white and the other partner's black, how they all say I'm black. That's always pissed me off. They don't even say mixed, I'm black. Why is being black that much more powerful? Why do you have to say that?
Why you like Derek Cheter, You say you're black? Does me? And your mother means nothing to you? Your white mother meant nothing to you growing up. Just fucking say you're mixed. Man. So many people who have a mixed race background say they're black, and if they do it because it gives them something, it gives them a power. Oh, I gotta watch what I say. I can't mention anything that that sniffs of racism at
all because she's black, she's white too. It's a it's a real It's a knock on the head to any parent who's white who raised that child and doesn't hear that child later say they're mixed when they become important or famous. That's that pisses me off. But there is a phenomenon happening. Sonny's advantages
stem from her heritage being able to have white privileges. While she retains the ability to wear out the race card, it kind of gives her an inflated sense of entitlement and you can see it on full display every day on the view speaking of my privilege, not kidding. Taylor Swift has been urged by a BBC presenter to not fly private so much. He calls it absurd. Chris Packham, he's been with the BBC for a long time, big campaigner
for the environment. This guy he spoke out because Swift flies private too much, and there's this kid who was sharing her flights. He was able to get into the system and knew where she was flying, and when he made it public it seemed like, whoa, that's a lot of flying. That's almost as much as John Kerry when he goes to functions about climate change.
Fucking hypocrites. So the Daily Mirror reports that Taylor Swift sent the seas and desists led it to Jack Sweeney, who had calculated and publicly shared that she traveled one hundred and seventy eight thousand miles on two private planes in twenty twenty three alone. His strongest ire was reserved for the flights she made. This February, she made a one day round trip from Tokyo to Vegas and back to support her boyfriend Travis Kelsey in the Super Bowl. Okay, look,
that's a once in a lifetime, twice in a lifetime thing. She did it. Good for her. What could his money if he can't do that? But Packham says, we know that private chats are the single greatest contributor when it comes to jet aviation fuel and the least efficient because they're carrying one person. And so he called her out and she threatened to sue it, and he said, you really missed the trick there, Taylor. What you should have said is you're right. Times have moved on. I've got to
change my I'm gonna sell my private jets. And he says that would have been such a powerful thing to do, and a powerful thing for an audience to hear. I mean, her audience is primarily a young audience, right. I mean, you can't say she's responsible for climate breakdown, but she's an icon and as a consequence of that, she should be leading. Excuse me, sell your jets to someone else so they can do the same thing. We don't want you to do. Great idea idiot that's gonna really save
the environment? Does this guy even hear himself? And look, let's be honest, by the way, once you fly private, there isn't a single one of us who'd ever fly commercial again. If we can all afford it, we'd all do it. And I fully admit that after flying on Bill
Mar's jet to Vegas, that was the best shit ever. The difference between getting into an airport going through and all that push, the whole flying commercial nonsense and the overcrowding and the danger on planes today, you can't even compute how much more we'd all rutther fly private. It's not comparing apples to orange. It's just like comparing apples to dirty orange seas that are squished on the street. There's no comparison. And how Teyloswift spends her money is nobody else's
business, nor is it the business of anybody. How politicians spend their money. They all fly private. All these guys who go to climate meetings and functions, they all fly private. And we know this, Listen, you gotta just take it on the chin. Not since Elvis President maybe Beatlemania, has somebody been this famous and it's safer for everyone, including the public, if she flies private and this guy knows it. Could you imagine the insanity
if she tried to walk through an airport. We just saw Caitlin Clark at malt You know, tail would be tackled and maybe killed, ripped apart. Why don't you go after the oil companies and the meat industry and the energy corporations that have screwed up our planet and create what you people call global warming. I saw a thing on the internet today, Dan Rather and a young al Gore. We're talking about how you know Florida's going to be underground?
We cannot keep going this way. That was forty two years ago. Chicken little al Gore was saying the world was falling apart the sky. Is why Dan Rather backed them up. Everything's the same. In fact now people like Barack Obama and his wife buy houses on the beach, so they're clearly not concerned about the water rising. Otherwise they live in Nebraska, And if I were heard, I would have said, I'll stop flying private when John Kerry stops. The real issue is this guy's never had a world in roman or
had a ton of money and a ton of influence. Taylor Swift is a woman in love, and unlike us most of us, she can conquer the distance with putting out a credit card. She would always be flying one day trips. But right now she's trying to maintain a relationship between two people who are on different continents. So look, back off, just back off. People make such a thing about private chats and oh my god, you can't do this to the world. You're talking out of your ass. Look around.
Stop going for the most popular person in the world who's doing this on a regular basis. Because right now she's doing her tour and if she hadn't fell in love with Travis Kelsey, she would have made those trips. Why don't you concentrate more on how wonderful otos to be in love, to be young and in love and actually have the money and the once to do what she's doing and maintain a relationship that seems to be pretty awesome for her and Travis. Back off, back off. That's it for now, guys,
I'm backing off. That was your daily, not daily, Sorry, that's your patriot. This is your free show for famous Bitch. May twenty four be sure to catch for me and Mike Agavino's Everything is a Bitch, most likely hitting tomorrow. Don't worry about lawnmowers and Mexican landscapers, maybe Honduran I'm not sure what they were.
