Speaker 1

From Workhouse Connect and aj Benze fame. He'd liked to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. Is uh the guy put the cock in the Peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody, AJ Benzi here with fame as a bitch. This is your daily Unfiltered podcast for January tenth, twenty twenty five. One let's say, oh one one, oh I like that? Oh one one o two oh two five? Excuse me? Should I just develop the hiccups as I began to log on to the riverside site and give you a show. I hope

they don't. Oh my god, I'm hiccupping, all right, must be all these nerves. Well, guys, I'm alive. I know. I put some messages out there and post out there the last day or so regarding this fire and where we are and what the situation is. Man, it's everything you're watching on TV and worse and scarier. I understandably couldn't sleep last night. Finally went to bed at like I don't know, quarter to one. You know, I saw

some very distressing things on TV. Fire as we're getting closer and closer, As I was about to go to bed. The fire was about five miles away, and it looked so menacing and awful. And but you know, what are you gonna do? I mean, I packed the bags, We had our stuff ready to go. But I'll get to that in a second. But I didn't go to bed until about one o'clock in the morning. But I woke up at two thirty. Makes no sense. I take a gummy and I take three sit a minutef in PMS,

whatever the fuck they are. You know, people say don't take us suit of minifit for your liver. If other people say don't take the other one, I'm sick of it. Advil, tylen all. Both are said to be bad. Both are said to be don't worry about I can't take it. So I took my typical three to go to bed, plus the gummy because inherently in my heart and this horseshoe my mother told me, I got up my ass, which I have on my wall. As you enter my bedroom,

big old, nice steel horseshoe. I just think, you know, it's not gonna This is not gonna happen to me. It's not gonna happen to us. Still, they'll be I'll be, but there I am wide awake at two thirty and how do you really sleep? How can you get any sound sleep? And you've already told your son daughter pack beds. Let's just pack stuff up, you know, fill up with necessities.

Take a few close and listen. I'm not in any way trying to act like I understand what it feels like to see, you know, people's pets burn up and die in front of their eyes, or losing all their possessions and homes. But it's still a very unsettling thing to be a father who literally was just watching a funny show on HBO Max and laughing, and then suddenly the fire is a little too close for comfort. And

look they're now saying, I'm watching TV. You know, there's so many things to talk about, but these politicians or leaders want to get up and say, if this turns out to be an arson fire, then any death that occurred will make this a murder investigation. Who gives a shit? No one cares about that. Right now, we live in a society where people do awful things in Washington, DC, and nothing ever fucking happens. Oh, there's gonna be a meeting. They're gonna get together and have a fist and we're

gonna really sit down and nothing happens. Why would this be any different. You got Steve Guttenberg, the actor on the on the street in the Pacific Palisades. I know Steve for you know, obviously, I started with him in a movie and he's a great guy. He's lived in the palis Stads since I know him. And he's moving cars off the road. The cars that were left unattended. Some had the keys and the ignition, some didn't. And naturally this guy on the road interviewing him didn't know

who Steve Gutenberg was. I guess because the last thing he did well, that would be the movie with me that didn't really make a lot of ways. But you know, Steve was hot thirty five years ago. Nicest guy in show business. Don't believe what they tell you about Tom Hanks. Steve Gutenberg is the nicest guy in show bus. So anyhow, just took my headphones off. I don't even know why I wear him because I can't hear the show in

my ears, and no one can tell me why that is. Anyhow, let's not stray too far from the subject at hand. But I don't want to hear people talking about I'm gonna round up to people because Steve Gudenberg said something on air that was so great. Now, I don't think Steve is a full throated liberal. I don't, I don't. I haven't talked politics for him in years. But I think he understands the other side of the ball. Long Island. Kid,

Long Island's very red. And he said to the reporter, well, we don't know how the fire was startled, and he said, no, it was started by a homeless encampment in the mountains, and suddenly that report had to end. How dare Steve Gutenberg possibly mention that people unhoused let's not say homeless, unhoused people may have started the first blaze. It's always that way, gang. It's not always his cigarette out the

window of a car, or lightning striking the woods. No, it's not that it's people fucking up camping, or the hundreds and hundreds of homeless people, drug addicts who live up in the hills, who live among the bramble and the tumbleweeds. My god, when I was a kid, tumbleweeds always just signified the Western was gonna begin Clint Eastwood, John Wayne was gonna pop out, maybe even Montgomery Cliff who knew Lee van Cleef with the toothpick and a

little cigarette and his teeth. No, not now now. Tumbleweeds are death to people in California. So is bramble. But yeah, man, they could not get that report done quick enough. When Guttenberg mentioned that, give me a break, do me a favorite, Shut the fuck up. Why don't you do a report on why there is no water in the fire hydrants? Why is the fucking reservoirs dry? Why for the last

fifteen years. When I drive my kids to school and we see the aqueducts in the street, and I go, when I moved here in ninety seven, these were full. What do you mean I said? There was water to the top. Are you kidding? No, this is what it is. It's an aqueduct. Ronald Reagan did this for California. They didn't know, They had no idea those that was even for water. They didn't know. Sure, there were some assholes who thinks they're there. So movies like Greece can have

car races. Now it's for fucking water to keep people alivee to keep things growing to make California one of the top producing states of produce function, let alone the people who live here live and not be afraid of dying every time the fucking wind blows out a candle. But I wasn't just worried about, you know, what I had to do for my family. I honestly couldn't sleep well knowing that Ben Affleck's other house, not the sixty

million dollar mansion he bought with j Lo. No, no, no, not that one, his newer house that he plunked down twenty million four. I couldn't sleep knowing that Ben evacuated that house last night and stayed with Jennifer Jennifer Garner and their kids. It really bugged me. And finally, today, just like a couple of hours ago, I read that Ben Affleck drove back to his home. It didn't burn

down and still standing. So woo oh my god. At least he can go on and make more movies and his production company, Actors Equity, the stupidest fucking name ever, the most generic dumb name for him and Matt Damon to name a company. It's cool that the take these phony motherfuck I wasn't only thinking about Ben Affleck. However, my attention immediately, and maybe yours did too. I thought of Tom Hanks right away. Tom Hanks and that massive compound,

that hilltop mansion he shares with Rita Wilson. How are they coping? Well? It turns out Tom hanks Pacific's Palisades home is miraculously still standing. The fire didn't get to Tom and read his twenty six billion, eight bedroom nineteen fucking Oh. I don't care, it's still there. I mean, you know I I you have to live here to see what the press writes down in papers and magaza. Yeah, you have to see what we get to read like

the like do people who put this news out? TMZ Harvey fucking Levin, who's way too rich than he ever should have been. And I don't deny him his success. I don't. Harvey busted his balls and made a completely new business out of nothing. I gave him all the props in the world. But you don't have gotta tell me during the day, or we're packing bags to leave and people are dying, pets are burning up. You don't need to tell me about Tom hanks big mansion in

it now. I looked at the house and I said, I wonder how many pictures are in that house, how many pictures Tom Hanks took of little girls and their little red shoes or red gloves. He takes pictures of red shoes and red gloves. He makes us believe the pedophilia story because his Instagram it used to be not

sure if it still is. I didn't check bad bad journalists, but it used to be a big thing back in twenty eighteen, seventeen nineteen that Tom Haggs instat was full of stupid shit like that, Why are you showing a red glove in the street? Why is there a picture of a little girl's red shoe? What kind of a freak are you? Maybe one day we can get to the bottom of whether Forrest Gump is a great guy

or a world class pedophile. At this point we don't know, but there are stories about fires burning and five football fields per minute. When that happens, you worry about things that you never thought you'd have to think about. You worry about I mean, look, I don't know about you. I worried about listening to Paris Hilton watching her Malleble Beach front home burn to the ground. She posted a a I don't know if I think it was Instagram, and she's in the background, her baby's crying, the baby

with the big head, whose head is now smaller. He looks like a regular kid now, no more like the character Kazoo on the Flintstones. The kid's head has, like I said, it reduced, and he's finally a cue little baby. And I've always told you I think Paris Hilton is adorable. I know she's a schmuck, but I think she's hot and cute. And I'm like, I laugh along with her. It's okay, she's like a joke, but I think she's very pretty. We've what am I doing talking about this?

When the fucking state's burning down? I apologize five football feels per minute. And yes, I looked at Paris Hilton's video that she posted of watching her Malleble Beach front mansion burn up. There was a woman I used to hang out with. I forget her last name, Monica a Very. She was married to some French guy, very wealthy French guy. She was a black chick who, like you know, when you marry a rich guy, they let you start a company where you make candles or fucking stupid shit, Well

that's what he did. And Monica, who was a very sexy black woman, very top heavy, right, a great body, top heavy tits, but a complete chainsmoker. It was like hard to sit near her. You know when people light up a cigarette but there's one still in their mouth. She was like that. And we got friendly with her, and she eventually would invite us to her house for parties. It was right on Pacific Coast Highway on the ocean. Beautiful backyard just so you guys who don't live here

understand what backyards like this look like. In her backyard, two story home, but when you drive by the house on Pacific Coast Highway, it looks like you're pulling into a garage, but you are because beyond the garage is the big home that sits on the cliffs of Melloble Billionaires Row they call it, and right outside their door is the sand to the Pacific Ocean, and around their yard are huge plexiglass barriers where you can see the ocean,

but the whole yard is encased. And in the backyard there were three California king sized beds so people can lay on them and have fun and fuck around, smoke their weed whatever they were doing, do some blow whatever. And then Monica had a big birthday. I think she was fifty, and she was blowing out the candles and at one point she took her big tits out and dropped them on the cake. I saw her house today on TV burn up Gone. I've long since lost her number.

I don't know where she is, but I actually think she died last year of lung cancer. Shocker. Two years ago. I saw her coming out of raupse with the you know, tubes in her nose for oxygen, and I'm like, oh my god, Hey are you Monica. How you doing?

Speaker 2

Oh?

Speaker 1

I've been better, you know, but I'm doing okay. No, she died not too long after that, So keep enjoying your cigarettes, people, John Goodman, Heidi mont the Great, Heidi Montak, Montague, whatever the fuck who spent a fortune to get herself a beautiful, fake body and correct her facial features to the point where she finally looked as beautiful as she wants to look. Her husband, Spencer Pratt, the bad boy back in the reality TV days, their Pacific Palisades home

burned to the ground. I don't want to even think about how much money they made to buy that house. But you know what, Billy Crystal's home is gone too. Can you think of two radically different people who live in the same town, Spencer Pratt and Billy Crystal. I mean, one guy is a fucking nobody with no discernible talent who became a bad guy for reality TV shows. And then there's the great Billy Christ Long Island boy who made it big. And it's just one of the biggest

and best, most talented stars we've ever had. His house gone. Some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. One hundred and eighty thousand LA residents now it's up to three hundred thousand forced to evacuate. I call it, and I'm telling you right now. No one has said this. It's my term, but I guarantee you whenever the people who worked the headline desk on newspapers or TV shows, when they get their wits about them, when they get as clever as me,

maybe they'll come up with this headline. But I was raised and I worked in the tabloid news industry, and headlines, big, bold, black ink was the way we spoke, the way we read, the way we live. This headline should be apocalypse. How not at clips now, but apocalypse. How How this crisis started with the Pacific Palisades fire Tuesday morning. Now it's in so many different neighborhoods, some as far as twenty miles away, and last night, just short of midnight, two

houses caught on fire at Ventura Boulevard in Widset. It's, like I said, a mile and change away from me, eight blocks away from me. But more than anything else, the fact that possibly an ember flew that far from either the Hollywood Hills fire and Runing Canyon right by the Hollywood Sign, or from Pasadena, or even Pacific Palisades fifteen miles away. I don't know, could have been started by some asshole. That's happening too, But I don't want anybody well, you can do what you want, but you're

gonna get shipped for me. Look at I'm halfway a conspiracy theorist too. I know we can make rain. Why didn't we make rain yesterday and put the fires? I get all that bullshit. And I've seen explosions in the clouds over ghetto neighborhoods like Compton. When you go, what the fuck was that? What is all this explosions in the clouds. Possibly they're making rain. It could happen. But when you tell me, when I read posts that go, oh, this is arson, they're starting fires everywhere, look at I'm

not disagreeing. Of course, there's some assholes starting fires in Studio City where I lived nearby. Might have been one of those things. The fire was put out in an hour and a half and everything's fine. I drove by it this morning to look at it. But guys, anybody who doubts this, you have no idea what it looks like when embers, thousands upon thousands of embers are flying past your head to at a rate that you can't

possibly do anything about it. And you can't account for all those thousands of members, where they land, where they go, how far up in the sky they're kicked up and then sent someplace three, two, five, seven miles away, you don't know, and it lands on shitty bramble or tumbleweeds, which Gavin Newsom said that we're not going to clean that out, and Donald Trump said you have to. And then fires begin and they're almost impossible to pull out, to put out, to pull out. Oh my god, I'm

thinking too sexually, they're impossible to put out hold on. Sorry, but either way, when there are two homes burning down, you know, so close to where I live, you know, you get concerned, and that's when we began to pack our bags. But for get him on me, guys. I mean, like I said, some of our favorite celebrities are in awful straits. Anthony Hopkins, Adam Brody, Leyton Meister. They are among the stars who lost their homes to the fires.

I mean Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, her Malleible home burned down, so you can only imagine how much Marshall walk around with that ugly fucking sneer on her face, as if she made any kind of money to afford that Mallible home. Miles Teller and his beautiful wife Keeley Sperry lost their home. Don't sleep on Keeley Sperry. Kobe Smolders from How I Met Your Mother and SNL's Tarn kill Him lost their

home as well. I love how these sketch comedians on SNL Marry Way way up, Tarren kill him and what's his name? From SNL Colin, Josan Scolo, Tarwe Hanson and the other they would never have gotten those women. Let me go back to a fire. Melissa Rivers, who had a good time, uh, making fun of the fashion that took place at Golden Globe, picking up the mantel that

her mother is so beautifully and perfectly executed. She gave her thoughts, but her her big home in the Palisades gone at the same day, the same day that her mother's home off Park Avenue and New York City finally sold for I don't know, tens of millions of twenty eight million, I think, I don't know. I mean, that was in that house twice. That apartment, it's hard to call it an apartment when you have three or four floors and a magnificent home with marble. I mean either way, man,

she did. Thank goodness, she was able to save some things. Melissa Rivers. She saved a picture of her father, Edgar Rosenberg, who committed suicide when he felt like he ruined his wife Joan Rivers career. She also took a drawing that her mother had done of Melissa's son and herself. She took those, She took those things. That's the kind of decisions people have to make when these kind of disasters rained down on us. Jeff Bridges, the big Lebowski watched

his place burn down. So the dude is now homeless. Where will he drink his white Russians. I don't want to make a joke. I'm just trying to find some levity and all that. A lot of celebrities are young, and they come into certain neighborhoods after they've accumulated several million dollars in their careers. They get big movies, they get big jobs, or they want to get right into the fucking flow. I want a house in the Palace Days, Get me the fucking five room, six bathroom mansion in Brentwood.

Want to be involved and be famous with the big people. Well, they're all burning up. They love to swoop into the palisades in Malibu and Calabasas. By the way, Calabasas burning near the Kardashian compounds, and that is one of the biggest emergency situations I've ever been around. The Kardashians may have to have had believe me, they already did. I don't know what Kanye is, but I'd rather be with him and his wife than Kim and the kids in

that crazy ass family. It's almost like the fire had specific instructions to head into certain neighborhoods in specific streets. You I mean, but that's why these newer stars they can't wait to swoop in and get a you know, a ten million dollar mortgage. These people are thirty years old. I'll take it, Toniandalbo. I just want to be with the people who are famous, and these people come and go, But my heart goes out to the people like James Woods and Billy Cristal and his wife who've lived in

their home for forty six years. Gang, how the hell do you even begin to figure out what to pack and take with you after forty six years? Billy Crystal said, Janis and I lived in our homes since nineteen seventy nine. We raised our kids and our grandkids here. Every inch of our house was filled with love, beautiful memories that can't be taken away. Were heartbroken, of course, but with

the love of our children and friends. Won't get through this, God man, the thought of my childhood home burning up. Anthony Hopkins, like I said, Anna Faris, Eugene Levy, Cameron Matheson, Ricky Lake, Mandy Moore, Sandra Lee, sh Houses gone the Liberal prick. Mark Hamill lost his home too, that I'm not that sad about. Meanwhile, Harrison Ford, Jamie Lee Curtis, who did a really funny thing with Jimmy Fallon the

other night. She recreated a dance in Like I Staying Alive that movie and she was doing a big like exercise Jeter side video, Jamie Lee's body is still banging and Jimmy Fallon they did a really funny skit. But her house gone. Whitney Cummings and so many more have had to evacuate and waiting for information or when they

can get back to their homes. I did like the fact, well Whitney Comings, the comedian was on Instagram and just really showing all of us what she's taking with her drawings, that paintings that are her listeners, or her fans, center necklaces that mean a lot to her. You know, a Michael Jordan Jersey, that she got Washington redskins because she's a Washington fan. Just so many things. I'm just happy that she didn't say she's gonna take her fucking boyfriend,

the Cobra, the old skateboard dude with her. I hope that's over. I don't want to see Whitney Cummings with this asshole who partes here on the side. The guy's gotta comb over. He's probably forty one years old. He's said, you know what, I gotta stuff. Whenever I see a beautiful, funny girl with an asshole, I can't take it. It's not as bad as the fire, mind you, but I

get just as worked up. Meanwhile, in case anybody didn't know what to do, just understand, I want you all to thank God that Megan Markle puts some specific instructions out there for people to say safegd, damn it and look, listen, I make fun of the girl, but I'll tell you what. She put out some very pertinent information, and the way

she wrote it it sounded as well. It sounded its tone deaf and phony as anything this assholes ever done, including her post a few days ago letting the world know she's now gonna have a cooking type show on Netflix coming out. What a great time for this shit. What a shit had she? I mean, I listen, we're all married. Sometimes the husband's and assholes. Sometimes the wife's an asshole. But if you got a good marriage, you

can rain each other in. Harry doesn't know how to rain her in, or maybe he tries that he can't do it. He's got to leave soon, and I think he will in the coming the coming fourteen months write it down, fourteen months, that means next spring. Just get ready. But this shit had to have a show where she's cooking on pots and pans that cost hundreds of dollars. I picked up a pen the other day from Smart and Final for fourteen ninety nine, and I whip up

the best fucking posse you could ever imagine. But no, I gotta have pots and pans like Megan Markle that cost hundreds of I had all that fancy shit when I when I presented an Emmy, I got all the fancy cook where I got. I have all of it. I mean, a woman who was once a princess is married to a prince and the mother of his kids. And get this, she didn't film her dumb new Netflix lifestyle show in their own home, not even in their

own kitchen, you know. Instead of doing this show in their fifteen million dollar Montecito mansion, No, Megan filmed it at another man should, a farmhouse actually two miles away owned by some people she knows, Tom and Sherry Chippola, and that place has five acres, it's an avocado and lemon grove. It's got four bedroom, five bedroom. Whatever the fuck? Why even do that? You're starting her phony. You're cooking in quote unquote you're a kitchen. No you're not. What

doesn't she understand how tone death is? This asshole? And not only her, others like her. The show centerpieces the kitchen where she you know, she's sitting there talking and cooking with assholes like Mindy Gaily, who I can't stand. With the Purple Gums and the two kids. We have no idea who the father is, but we know it's the guy from you know, the office. Whatever the fuck? I This new thing about not telling people who the

dad is ridiculous. Men are not important. We just dump seed into a woman's vagina and they get to raise the kid and never tell anybody who the dad is. What have we done? Not me? I'm not this way. If Whitney Cummings baby was mine, I'd be on fucking Instagram and social media telling everybody I'm the father. What have we done in trying to be wonderful feminist? In making women feel above the fray and just as good

as us. It's not better. What have we done that women cannot mention who the daddy of their baby is? Do you think that's progress? That's bullshit? As if men aren't important. You'll see these women say shit like I don't even know what I'm a man for. What am I a man for? Okay, good, while you're evacuating, do it yourself. You don't get me started. But how tone deaf is this asshole? Megan and others others like her. She's cooking in a kitchen on a twenty thousand dollars

Thermador range. She's got seven hundred and fifty dollars copper pans and ninety dollars cutting boards. I'm gonna give this idiot one piece of advice that will go unlistened, of course, But anyhow, look at asshole. If if she just put her foot down and insisted that the Netflix show were filmed on her own mansion, at least it would have come off more authentic. Right, Maybe we'd see pictures of the kids, Lillabette and Archie, the invisible brick assholes that

I'm sorry they're kids. I shouldn't say that they've been born into assholeary but it's not their fault. But you know, show pictures of the kids. Your husband may be on ski slops maybe whatever. But no, she will never change, and by twenty twenty six there will be huge changes in her in Harry's life. But when you see all this shit going on, when you have a job like mine where you want to talk to your listeners about Hollywood and fame, suddenly the Blake Lively justin Baldoni lawsuit

doesn't mean shit, does it. You know what I was thinking, I wondered if p Dinny's house is in danger? Oh my god, right, if.

Speaker 2

It is, I hope they got all the evidence they need out of that house before the shit burns down, because everything surrounding pe Ditty is mysterious and you know, a conspiracy.

Speaker 1

You know, when his the mother of his kids died kim Porta of pneumonia, where there was no medicine on the night table, no medicine in the kitchen, and also no cell phone, her eyepid next to her on the bed or on the night table. Who the fuck sleeps? Put out your phone on the night table, plugged iny, He's still me a favor my friend tough Tony, right,

the ex cop, tough Tony Botch. She heard the show the other day about the girl that got kidnapped, you know, and went to that marina and that next to that fish store that I grew up near, an ice clip, white capfish. I made out my whole thing, Tony wrote me today, you would have made a great detective. Her father's a parasite. He's a parasite, prostitution pimp for his daughter. He probably panicked when she didn't return from her appointment. His story stinks like the fish from the arena where

you found her, where they found it. He should have been arrested immediately, or for failing to report a fourteen year old missing with a reasonable time. He should be charged with endangering the welfare of a child. This would open up dialogue for an investigation of him. Don't judge a book by its cover. Bullshit, tattoos on his face, daughter has tattoos and dresses provocatively for her age. He's a parasite, not a far Hopefully Suffolk County does their job.

That's it. Me and Tony grew up on the same streets. We get it. He just became a cop. I didn't, but we still think the same way. That's the spidy sense, that's the intuition. Either way, I hope they took all the evidence out of P Diddy's Manchi because I think, you know, I don't want anything to make it easier for this hip hop pedophile to beat the rap like

I fear. Anyhow, as bad and stupid as celebrity residents of this state have been for many years, could let me ask you could this disaster, which by the way, is still zero percent contained, and I'm sitting in the apartment watching TV ready to bolt. Rocco's playing basketball at a park a couple of miles away. Roxy's working. I mean, at some point, if disaster strike strikes even harder, we gotta get the fuck out of here. But it's difficult when you wake up and you're in a beautiful California

sunny day. The sky's blue, yes, the air's bed. Yes, there's fire embers and stuff on the street on our cars are old, dusty from fire. Today was no wind, so we got a break. Well, maybe they did out there too. Tomorrow more wind's supposed to happen tomorrow, meeting

today Friday. Either way, Could this disaster be what it takes to finally have these assholes condemned the leadership here in California, Because already there are some big Hollywood names who started to turn on LA's Democratic leadership, including the asshole mayor Karen Bess. And you can't spell ass without Bess or bass without ass. Excuse me. Her boxed response to the wildfires, Oh my god. Sarah Michelle Galar, who we don't hear too much of, she was very vocal today,

gave a lot of shit to the Democrat leadership. Posted something on Instagram because she was pissed that they failed to direct the tens of thousands of So Cal residents trying to leave this state as the fires burned, and she wrote, City of La, you want everyone to evacuate, yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cup on traffic cop on the roads helping. I know I feel the same way. I said to Lola, Well, listen, if worst comes to worse, we gotta get in the

car and head south. What do you mean we gotta go south? We gotta go like to the southern tip of California, Like go where the water is, not where the good are the forest and trees. Just go down Huntington and Redondo Lagoon. It get down there. She's like, no, I don't think so well, we can't go north, and that the roads to go to Nevada are going to be clogged as fuck. There's no cops out there. You want to just park the car in the street and try to run to Nevada. Four hundred thousand people are

leaving or have left California. What the fuck do we do? Where do we go? Yeah? There are apps to tell you what to do, but they're always conflicting. You really, guys, you really get to a point where you don't know what the fuck to do. And none of us fathers have had, you know, any kind of lessons in this capacity. Here's what you do when your family is facing a disaster. Quick,

let me google it. It's a you know James Woods, I mentioned he lost his home, but he you know, he's been a very red bloody conservative feet years on Twitter, been you know, canceled. I mean, have you seen him work in the last fifteen years? No, you have. He's walked away from hollyod because he knows he can't work with his political ideas and his right wing perfect agenda. But he said, you know, listen, these wildfires weren't caused by climate change. They were caused by liberal idiots like

gavenuws From our governor and Karen Bass, our mayor. And he said about the two of them, one doesn't understand the first thing about fire management, and the other can't fill the water reservoirs. Egg exactly. And he said, you know, this last picture I took was last night of our beautiful little home in the Palisades. Now all the fire alarms are going off at once. Remotely, it tests your soul. Losing everything at once, I must say, God does it? Ever, how do you get a how do you get good sleep?

When you've packed your bags, Your kids are all accounted for, they've got bags to fill with necessities. As I said, I'm in no way trying to act like I understand what it feels like to see people's pets burn, like I said, but it's still fucking wild. It makes me think of what our own patron, Kimmy Ben went through back in twenty eighteen the campfire. Remember the campfire burned

through a town ironically called Paradise, California. And from what I've heard from people who lived there, including Kimmy, it was, and that wildfire was the deadliest in California's history, killed eighty five people, destroyed eighteen nineteen thousand structures. But these new fires may prove to be even more deadly. But I remember Kimmy's say, I can't even breathe with all the smoke and the bullshit out here. Man, the allergies plus the smoke, it's bad. But I remember Kimmy had

this urgency about her back then. Her desire to live was just a little stronger than what nature put in front of her. And I remember being amazed. I barely knew her we were one year into this podcast, maybe not even I was amazed by what she went through, the kind of horror, let alone that she lived through it, and step by painstaking step, she got her life back after she lost everything. And if you've been with us on the page, she's had some days so she didn't

know if she can go on. That's what this kind of shit does to people. But do you ever really get your life back after shit like this? I'd have to ask Kimmy. This is the stuff of movies. This is the kind of armageddon and only Hollywood could produce. And now it's like God is rubbing everyone's face out here in the shit. And you think you're walking around the house, you know my Christmas tree is still up. I gotta take that down, and you suddenly go, fuck

the Christiane. What do I take? I took some clothes to wear, my laptop, and the equipment to produce this show. I also took some other personal effects. I've packed a beautiful brace that my father had made for my mother back in Europe before he came home from World War Two. It's a beautiful bracelet made from the materials that bombs and ammunition was made with. And it's this beautiful brace

to where I may have said it before. It's made out of bomb material and bullet material, and the right side, on the left side of the bracelet, it says every country he was in during World War Two England, Scotland, Belgium, Italy, France, and in the middle there's a bomb, a beautiful like a bomb with the wings on it, and it says to mommy from Poppy, which they called each other back then, apparently, And that's a beautiful break. And I took my grandmother's

engagement ring that my father gave to my mother. Two pieces of jewelry that means nothing, that costs bullshit. But I can't walk away without those things. I got pictures of my family, some of it my now family, my first family, you know what I mean. I haven't had to actually think about. There's a thing on my wall that's from the Feast of Santa Jos Alia and it's about the Saint Rosalie. That's my sister, grandmother and daughters.

Then I took that off the wall. My father's bayonets from World War Two went off the wall into my fucking bed. I mean, what do you take? In fact, there was a point where I'm standing in the kitchen and I'm looking what do I do? And I said, I can't leave Grandma's School of Bosta. For all you non Italians, in the School of bostas simply a big strainer that you pull your pasta through to get rid of the water, to be called school of Boston Italian.

I can't leave without Grandma School of Bosta and the big pasta pot, the five gallon pot. I gotta take those things. Of course they're in the trunk. But there's so much other shit that's stolen, stole on the walls, so much tucked away in drawers, and don't forget, I just unpacked a ten by fifteen storage unit last month, so I'm finally with all my shit again. And then last night I got to decide what ninety nine percent I'm gonna leave behind. I can't breathe anyhow, Gang, I'm

still here. I feel you know, last night, those two homes that perished eight blocks away, I feel like that was a one off. And I began the day with Agavino and him and I decided I went to tape everything as a bitch, and I said, Mike, maybe tomorrow. I said maybe. Sadly, I said, yeah, if we're still here. But I think we will still be here, but I

can't say for sure. But before I go, I'd like to say something about the two headed asshole that runs this state, Governor Gavenussom and the DEI Mayor Karen Bess. The clueless I'm sorry, get the kids out of the room, but I gotta use this word, the clueless count who travel to fucking Africa to see some leaders sworn in. I've never heard of a local politician traveling to a foreign country for a swearing in ceremony must be a black thing. White leaders don't feel the need to do that.

Stupid shit. If you were unlucky enough to see the video of Karen Bess, who, although she has five children, I will swear in my deathbed. She is a bold dyke for life. No man is fucking her anyhow. She walks off the plane from her beautiful trip to Sonny downtown Ghana, and a British reporter greets her and asks her a simple question about how she feels about being back in California and what she plans to do with the fires. She stood there and said nothing. The mayor

of California didn't even look at the reporter. She just said nothing. Is this what we expect from the leaders we vote in? It's either that or Gavin Newsom, who's who was chased down in the Berney streets of Pasadena by a mother, a wife, and a mother. God bless her. She ran after him. She saw him run to truck and she caught up to him before he can hop in. She said, what are you planning to do? Please? Please? Governor new Some What are you planning to do all

these homes that elementary school. It's gone. All the kids have no more school, they lost their homes. What are you going to do? And this fucking worm said, I'm trying to get cell reception to speak to the president. And the woman said, call Biden right now, call them in front of me. And he's like, I'm trying to get reception. She goes, call I want to hear put the president on speaker. Of course, Newsom wouldn't dial the number. He wouldn't dare do that. He said, I got no service.

The woman's like, I do, and I'm right next to you. Use my phone. But he would never because he's a bullshit artist. But she actually dogged Gavin Newso more than any the porter has done for the last ten fucking years. And we see another two hundred of them do nothing on TV. Never forced leaders to say exactly what the fuck they planned to do. In the end, Newman and Newman.

Newsom swore he'd help and then he split. But it makes me think of the other assholes on the road who are out there thinking they're brave in front of the fires. Did you see ABC News David Muir, the guy who thinks he belongs in fashion magazines, because he has. He's half asked, handsome, looks like a lesser version of Frankenstein with a better haircut. He was the guy during the presidential debate that kept fucking with Trump and actually

fact check Trump and he was wrong. Well, David Muir was out there in paalis As talking about the fires, and he said at one point, you know, he had a yellow slicker on him that doesn't belong to him, it's from the network. And he's out there with the yellow slicker, perfect air and telling people if you look behind me, and as he turned the back of his yellow slicker, you could see had a fucking clothes pin attached, which made the clothes bin cinched the material on the slicker.

So David Muir might have looked more spelt. I guess in the waste area, one day we're dealing with smelt. The next day we're dealing with some stupid liberal reporter wanted to be selt. What are we doing here? Is he gonna help Gavin Newsom or is he still gonna want to save these fucking fish, Which is the reason why he turned down Trump's presidential offer to California to receive billions of gallons of water that originates in Canada and would filter down into California for all the farmers

and fier relief. Butnussam said, the fish, the smelt, the bait fish, they're more important because they're almost extincting. You know, we can't do that. Meanwhile, Karen Bass, the other asshole who on the next Politics as a bitch, I'll tell you how she began her political career wanting to get lovey dovey with Fidel Castro. Yeah, she was part of a group of young politicians who turned who were turned on by Marxism and wanted to know all she could about,

you know, pushing that agenda. And by the way, yesterday this is how Bass the ass spoke to her public with how to get information about these devastating fires, which

you're basically armageddon or apocalypse. How shithead dyke face who sliced seventeen million dollars off LAPD's firefighting budget and instead wanted to channel that money to homeless services and even lessons on diversity, equity and an inclusion and even some gender studies within the fire department because we all want three females to save us when our house is burning. I'm done. I love women. I want women to earn as much as men. I'm glad they do. You can

earn more. I love women. They are the backbone of every family. Even the women I hate or hurt me, or piss me off, or our relationships failed, they're great on the fuck up. Women are better than men in so many areas, and yet there are some areas they shouldn't fucking be involved in, and firefighting and police work are two of them. Sickness bullshit. There's not one of you out there who'd like to see a five foot four and steam save your kid out of the second

story wind of a burning house. You're all full of shit if you think that, And now what ember's flying around me, I'm qualified to tell you you're all full of shit. You want a big fucking guy at your doorsteps. Christ Karen Bess stood there and told the public taking it all the information they need if they go online to you, r L. Did you hear this? She didn't know the hand website? You are out where? What you missed the address? Bess? Bass hole? Did she catch with?

Biden and Mitch McConnell are suffering from? And on top of that, I watched her staff behind her, A bunch of black people and lesbians and gay men. How can you tell, agent, I can tell. I know fans and lesbians. I grew up around the constantly. They're all behind her. Not one of them had the balls in this apocalyptic scenario to go miss Mayer. We need to make sure the public at the exact email just back up that.

Let's do your fucking job. Do your job. But I was already turned off by her A when I saw her face, but B when she began a sentence with etc. XC. You might as well say, sandwich of February, you incompetent, stupid asshole. Somebody kill me if this fire does it. I'm aj Benza and that was your Daily Unfiltered Podcast for January tenth, twenty five. Maybe the last two days of my life. We'll see, but I'm going down fighting and spitting fire at these motherfuckers who can't do their

goddamn jobs. Fuck out of here, man,
