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 Ben's are here with fame as a bitch. This is your free show for December seventh, twenty twenty three, December seventh, December seventh. Why does that sound? Oh? Yes, the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Wow, the Pearl Harbor sneak attack by the Japs. We're all out today, sneak attack. In fact,
that's how the term you japed me came about. It just became a phrase for people who did something when you weren't ready for it. You jacked me. I get a kick out of watching all movies and TV shows where they use the word japs so often, nips japs. It just it was teev
was so much better in the seventies. They saw an episode of Actually I saw the first of the movie The Twilight Zone that was out I don't know how many years ago, but there's this one scene where the guy's bitching and moaning about somebody getting his job or getting his money, and he's like, why give it to the Jew Jews are born rich. And then the next sentence he's like, I don't want to move to a neighborhood where there's spearchuckers
next door to me. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It's like, you can't turn it off because you can't believe what people got away with back then and how we're so. I mean, look, it wasn't nice to say those things. Obviously can't have that. So we've definitely matured as people, as producers, as people who put up content. But it was a much more fun world. It really was, because back then those people who wrote those shows and those movies were actually saying things that people were saying.
It was a reflection of our society. Now we're so politically correct, we don't know what to say that might might not rankle someone's feathers. But yeah, the seven seven, nineteen four, eighty eighty two years ago, eighty two years ago today, and there's now one person in who's learning about
this. There's not one teacher who's gonna develop more than two minutes if anything to this date in history in schools across the country, Mark my words, if they do, it will be a classroom with a Pride flag hanging from the chalk board, and all sorts of trans gay bullshit adorning the room because the old classroom. Do yourself a favorite. You might feel weird doing this. If you live near an elementary school, Take a walk around the school, take a walk, run the back, and peer into the windows of
that elementary school and take a look at what's on the bulletin board. Take a look at what colors you see flying or adorning the whiteboard or the chalk board or the walls. Just look. It's just one big indoctrination of our kids, that's what it is. And it's working. It's working in a lot of ways, and that's It's a sad day. But yeah, December seventh, nineteen forty one not being taught in today's schools, I promise, And that pisses me off. Either way. This is your free show.
I do want to thank some of you who've come over to the Patreon side of things, and All Learning is much more to that show than this show. I still give this show my awe, but as you know, I saved some of the more delicious stories, the exclusives, the breaking stories over at the Patreon show that's patreon dot com slash fames. Bitch about fifty of you have come over. I want fifty more before the month is up. I'll do my part, you do yours, and you won't ever hear those
birds tripping again. It was a fun bit while it lasted. I just watched a commercial I keep the show that the TV on Fox News. I just do. That's who I am, and I don't give a shit what anybody thinks. I'm a Fox News guy. When I walk into a hotel and they have Fox on the TVs at the restaurants, I feel better. I feel like I'm with my people. The hotel here has Fox on.
It's the automatic channel that the TV turns onto, which I dig. Other hotels have your TV turning on automatically CNN, which now I don't agree with that. But I saw this commercial which I've seen a million times, and I actually hate the commercial, but I don't hate the man. And that's Mike Lindell, the My Pillow Guy. I know the Left has done everything they could to bankrupt and destroy Mike Lindell's My Pillow business, all because he
committed the grave sin of supporting his president. The guy has paid millions in attorney's fees defending himself against Joe Biden's, Joe Biden's Department of Justice, Joe Biden's FBI, and they've wreaked havoc on his life like they've done to everyone who dared to support President Trump by creating bogus charges against them, forcing them to play, to pay exorbitant legal fees which most of us couldn't even get
near, and then destroying their lives and reputations. And every time I see or rewet from Biden and now DeSantis supporters cheering about how people's lives are being ruined all because they supported Donald Trump, it makes me sick that in this day and age in America, we can't do that. We can't support a president without getting into an argument a fight, without losing our reputations or at
least having them tarnished. Never mind that Mike Lindell was a hardcore crack added who not only cleaned up his life, but he conquered his addictions, and then he happened to create the My Pillow Empire. You know you can get you can get slippers there too. Oh yeah, slippers too. Mike's got a whole big business going, as you know. But during the pandemic, he unfortunately had to shut down his factories. And something he did that's really
neat. He made first responders safety equipment. While his factories were shut down. He made the mesk surgial gowns and things of that nature, and he donated them to areous hospitals. It only cost them seven million dollars in losses. On top of that, he opened treatment centers to help people suffering from the disease of addictions. But this is the man that the evil left hates.
This is the man that they're cheering for the demise of, hoping his business goes flat, a business he built from the ground up when he himself was faced down on the ground and looking up and seeing the top of the curb. This is the hate that's enveloping America ever since Donald Trump came down that escalator and gave up his life of luxury to help the forgotten people of America. Yeah, I'm on myself box, what of it? And now
you've got the installation of a lifelong failure. Joe Biden marked the fundamental transformation of America, no joke. He was going to transform America fundamentally. Yeah, Okay, look at the state this country's in right now. We're surrounded by demonic forces who have taken hold of our government. That's the only way you can look at things and think, well, it must be demons.
It has to be demons. And if you do that, and if you take a hardcore look, you have to come away saying Donald Trump is the only person who can save and restore the country that we grew up in. If you ask me, Mike Lindell maybe the greatest American patriot since Donald Trump, and we need about a thousand more of him in big conservative money. Why are so many of these big rich conservative guys quiet. I'll tell you why they don't have the balls that Mike Lindell has. Period. That's all
I'll say about that subject. But it was plenty. It was almost seven minutes worth of long and out from my chest. You got South America coming up, you got people from Africa coming here, Liberia's Sudan. It's insane. But the newest thing, the thing that shucked the shit out of me. And I'll get into this more on politics a bitch in a few days. Did you see the line of Chinese, Chinese men of fighting age, all lined up standing in San Diego. They got through standing as if they
were in their at ease positions. Okay, these are military men, and all of them had perfect, wonderful, spotless backpacks, the same black backpack. Who's supplying them with these things? They escaped China and they want to come to what's going on that We just don't ship them right back there? Why would we want them in this country after China has brought up so much of our property and our acreage and our farm lands. We can't have this.
And that's that's something on every president. How do you let the Chinese come into America and just buy big swaths of land? Unbelievable, really really disgusting happening to this country. Oh, let's bring it down to gossip. Let's talk about some celebrities. I keep seeing this thing on well, I saw it twice on Instagram. Really bothers me. Sebastian Maniscalco, who I love. I love his stand up, His stand up is fantastic. But he does this bit. He's done more than one bit, this particular bit
on Instagram. He's buying a Christmas tree. It's a big Christmas tree farm, and he's complaining about the price of Christmas trees. You know, he's acting like his wife is driving him crazy and everything he has to buy for his mansion is so expensive. Does he really think any of his listeners have as much money as he does. We know that Christmas tree he lives in Beverly Hills. We know that seven or eight foot Christmas tree is running in
three fifty four hundred. We know that most of us spend one hundred bucks for our tree. We know you're going quadruple that, but no one cares. And stop acting like you get it. Man. It's really tough out there. You really understand the plight wherein no, you don't you worth thirty
fucking million dollars and not for nothing. Sebastian Mascalco works hard and he will perform show after the show on the same stage if the demand is there, and that's what allows him to negotiate deals with different venues for a higher than average cut of the box office revenue. He has some deal. He grosses about two hundred and forty thousand dollars for each stop on his concerts on a stand up tour, It's all about four thousand tickets for each show. Okay.
Meanwhile, that Instagram he's got walking about a Christmas tree farm, making faces at the camera because I can't believe what trees courts? Have you seen the price of Christmas trees? What am I doing over here? What's going on over here? Who hell cares about your wallet? Well, the next night you're gonna stage and make a quarter million dollars for two hours work.
Nobody cares. You know. It's amazing how people come up and we raised them up and we we we consider them the next great thing, and then we start to take them down. It's the oldest formula in Hollywood. Put them up, bring them down, then resurrect them. If you can stand that cycle, you're gonna be Okay. His new series called Bookie, which is on HBO Max, which, if you're cool, you just call the Max. It's on the Max, all right, on the Max. It's
getting shit right ups. And I saw a clip of two or three, and I don't blame these writers for giving a shit right up. I watched one scene. You know, these jokes are just so canned. I watched one scene where he's in a lift and the lift drivers played by Jorgey Garcia, imber that guy from Lost. H well, actually hold that thought, Joy Garcia, there was a day when he was cast in the TV show Lost, where I have to admit I don't remember a morbidly obese person getting
a role in such a huge TV show. I don't. I mean, now you see it all the time. You see fat people everywhere. Lizzo employs a whole crew of backup blackup dancers. That's funny, blackup dancers. Her whole crew of backup dancers who have cholesterol levels like phone numbers. I mean, they're out there performing. Lizzo, as we all know, is not bashful of her obesity, although I have heard, and I can even
see a teeny weeny bit that she's finally shedding some pounds. And that's gotta be tough on her because she has a whole lot of fans who are gonna be upset with her for no longer embracing her fatness. Yeah, fat fans are weird like that, like Adele fans. Adele fans hate that she's thinner and looks ravishing lately. They wanted to be as miserable as they are. They don't want it to be thin and married and happily married. No, stay fat and alone and cry more on your albums. That's what makes fat
people happy. Fat adel fans, not fat people on a whole, because I'm fat and I can care less about adill. But Lizzo still has a long way to go before we can pretend to think she's in shape. But she did tweet the other day after it was reported that Billie Eilish was gay. Lizzo did tweet that she would gladly sit on Billy's face, And I got nervous because, first of all, that would give new meaning to the term having a crush on someone. And second, if Lizzo did sit on
Billy Eilish's face, he'd kill the poor girl. And we don't want to do that. Billy's not even in the twenty seven year old club yet. But you know, I just realized. I just realized that Oprah, Oprah Winfrey doesn't have fans who get mad at her for always trying to lose weight. I don't even see articles printed in that vein that fans are pushing away
from Oprah for getting thinner and getting in better shape. I see countless other newspapers and websites and platforms giving a whole lot of airtime to fans of Adele or Melissa McCarthy who are pissed that they're getting thinner. You know why that is, in my opinion, is because Oprah is black. That's it. And right now, you just can't be a part of any story or tweet
or anything that is critical of black people. You can't, for instance, you can't say that all these black women in Congress and in politics in general all sound ghetto as hell, and they act like they're in the hood. When they get their time to speak, they do that clap and shit, don't you tell me you're not. They act like they're on this stoop in the bronx. But we can't be critical of that bullshit. I get critical, and I'm just saying what a lot of us are thinking. Anyhow,
there was a tangent back to Jorge Garcia and the Medascalcos series Bookie. So Jorge Garcia plays a pot dealer who's out of business when there's the state legalized weed, and he's kind of sympathizing with Meniscalco because now gambling is legal and that hurts bookies around the country. So they both have that in common, and Jorge Garcia says, the only amount of time before California legalizes sports betting.
He says to Maniscalco's character Danny, and he shoots back, Navvy, Indian casinos will never allow it and says, oh yeah, the government never fucks over Indians. Okay, bed riding bad jokes, and they're a lot like this one in the series. Personally, I don't know a world where a bookie is careful not to say the wrong thing about trans people like I saw on another preview. Give me a break, please, I mean, has Chuck Laurie, the creator of this show, ever had a bookie?
Has Maniscalco ever placed the bet through a bookie, because if he did, he'd be talking to the producers saying, yeah, this isn't the way this guy would be talking. Okay, we've got to change this part. This park doesn't ring true. But he won't, and this show as a result will be another piece of shit with a laugh track and too much politically correct
humor. And that's really something that's not what Chuck Laurie's about. I mean, two and a half men shouldn't have taken more chances or been racier than Bookie all these years later. Speaking of TV shows, My god, I saw a clip of All the Family yesterday, and it's apropos that I'm talking about it today because it was announced today that Norman Lee just passed away at
one hundred and one years old. How about that? And we can see her all day and talk about exactly how many episodes of All the Family were just brilliantly written and back then normally introduced all sorts of topics feminism, race, race, race stuff. I mean nothing, nothing. All in the Family did Jefferson's good times, Maude. He just kept creating brilliant shows that really went at the throats of all these big topics when we were younger,
topics we can't even touch today. But this is one scene. It got me, He got me, said, it got me a little teary. What else is new? But Mike Stivick, his son in law Meathead, they're having a talk and he says to Archie, do you ever think that possibly your father just might be wrong? And Archie says, my own man, don't be stupid, my own man. Let me tell you he was never wrong about nothing. Mike says, yay, he was. Arch My old man used to call people the same things as your old man. But
I knew he was wrong. So is your old man. He's wrong. And Archie then gets real quiet, and he said, I'm not gonna imitate him. But he says, don't tell me my father was wrong. Let me tell you something. A father who made you is wrong. A father the breadwinner of the house. There the man who goes out and busts his ass to keep a roof over your head and close on your back. You call him wrong. Father. That's the man that comes home brings your candy.
Father is the first guy to throw a baseball to you and take you for walks in the park, holding you by the hand. My father help me by the hand. Hey, my father had a hand on him, though I'll tell you he busted that hand once and he busted the other one arm me to teach me to do good. My father's shoved me in a closet for seven hours to teach me to do good because he loved me. I don't be looking at me. Let me tell you something. You're supposed
to love your father because your father loves you. How can any man who loves you tell you anything that's wrong. It's a killer killer scene because it's only then after the show, but on for years that we discover along with Meathead, Archie was abused as a kid, and child abuse was not a topic shows touched. But how brilliant was that, How brilliantly that was brought up. Amazing. I'm jumping around at different topics. This happens sometimes when
I do the Pagtreon show. I jumped from topic to topic. We just talked about Christmas trees. Brings up a story I wanted to tell you many years ago in the eighties, when I was at my first wife, her family, great people, Frank and Joe, husband and wife, and my sign, my brother in law Carmaron. We all wanted to go upstate New York to take back our own Christmas tree. There was this farm upstate New York. You go there with an axe, not a chainsaw. You go
there with an axe and you chop down the tree you like. Then you pay for it and go home. So it took like a three hour drive up state. I think it was bed for the Millbrook, some far flung town up there, and we were looking for like three hours for the perfect tree. And there's tons of them there. I'm getting tired, I'm getting hungry. Plus I'm the guy holding the axe, you know, and the hack soil. Mostly so it happened upon this gorgeous tree almost eight foot tall.
They had a diet living room with a big high ceiling where the tree went. You can go twelve thirteen, fourteen feet if you want it, but that was too expensive. But this one's like eight foot beautiful tree and it had a white tag on it, and the name on the tag said Wilkerson. I said, what the hell is this? And my father says, oh, that means that another family came here, saw that tree a month ago or so and claimed it as their own, and they left their
name on this tag to let us know that it's dead tree. I says, who's just this dead tree. They're gonna remember what they They're gonna remember where they went, they're gonna know the exact aisle of the No, we're taking this tree. And now my father's laughing, but they mortified. My mother in law was mortified. I got chopping down real quick before they changed their mind, because they were like acting like, okay, if you want to do it, do it, but they didn't want to look Manya and
my fall in law and brother in law were cops. But just back in the eighties there was no cameras anyway, you can do whatever you want. So I chopped this tree down, and I took the wilkness and name off and threw it in the ground, and we had a great tree for Christmas. Could you imagine people thinking they can claim a tree and come back two months later and still be there. It will world anyhow, now guys like me running around. We had a lot of good Christmases in New York City
when I lived with Chico, very memorable Christmases. For some reason, Christmas time was always big argument time, family squabbles, friend fights. I remember Chico had a big fight with his girlfriend back there named Zoe, this very shapely black girl who was a dancer and out of Chico's league in terms of her looks and her figure. And she go just lost a bunch a weight,
but it was still a heavy dude. But I mean, look, he was a decent looking he was a great personality, make you laugh all day, making money back and then but she was caught with another girl and he saw that and it flipped him out. And one night. He's screaming, the Christmas tree is up in our apartment on Madison Ambu and I'm already by He's gonna break the tree. I'm worried, gonna throw the tree out the window because that's the way he gets. Instead, he threw the whole
phone out the window twelve stories up. The phone is down, crashed on the side, but I haven't got no phone. Fucking crazy bastard had to get a cell phone to call the cops. And I'm calling the cops. You're being nuts. I was on his back trying to shut them up. He wouldn't try, screaming top of his lungs about Zoe. Cops came and he just went right back to saying nothing. They said, you promised to be good. He goes, yeah, I will. I promise I'll be
quiet, went to bed and that was that. But one year, when you live in Manhattan back then in the early nineties, the little Christmas tree stands like in certain parts of the city where people will live in Manhattan who don't have a car to go to the country and pick their own. You go to this little area in different parts of New York and you grab a tree. You carry it home, preferably with a friend. You know. I find this tree, and I go, this is gonna be great for
the apartment because me and Jackie and Chico all live together. I bring it home. First thing Chico says is, he goes, but you get that I sit down the street. He goes, would you tie it to the bottom of the car because it looked like hell. I said, just one side. We'll put that side to the wall. No one's gonna see it. He says, I'm getting a tree next year. And the next year he gets this beautiful tree, gorgeous, big fat round. I think it
was a fur really tall. We had big ceilings in Manhattan. And I mean he got all the ornaments. He put birds. I hate. I don't like birds on a tree. Birds freaked me out. White birds on a tree doves too much for me. But he went overboard like he always did. He spent the fortune, and that was a nice tree. Everybody who came up I loved the tree. December twenty sixth he gets up in
the morning. I'm downstairs watching TV. He gets up in the morning, takes the whole tree, ornaments, lights, everything, walks into the hallway and jams it down the garbage choot on December twenty sixth. I don't know what the hell that looked like down in the garbage bed, but that was Chico and then he went, Okay, Christmas is over. Now we focused
on New Years. Oh what fun. Speaking of Chico. Some of you guys know this, some of you don't, But I've been going to an alcoholics anonymous group since right before I went to the hospital for this craziness with my ulcers bleeding and what have you. And I go to this AA group that I like. It's a men's only group that I've come to really get into. Like, if you go to AA, you might have to wait until you find the right group of people you mix with. Because I was
going, but I really didn't like the people. Not that they were bad, they just didn't jive with them. I find this all men's group and they're great. Both of the guys are older than me. Some fought in Vietnam. They got thirty years clean, twenty five years clean. But they all tell you their fuck ups and it's like, oh my God, Like you think your story's hard until you hear other people's stories. Jesus Christ.
But they appealed to me, and they break balls because they know each other a long time, and I didn't know that could happen in the AA meeting. So at the end of each meeting, at the end of each meeting, we all stand up and make a big circle and recite the Lord's Prayer as we hold hands. That's what this meeting does. It. I'm not
sure if every AA does this, but this one does. So the first time I'm watching, there's a transgender woman who's dressed as a man, and I saw and suddenly she's getting close to and close to the person that's gonna hold my hand. Not that I have the cooties or she does, but I'm just like, of course, of course I get the tranny's hand to hold during the Lord's Prayer. And if I tell you two months ago that I'd be an alcoholics anonymous holding a tranny's hand and reciting the Lord's Prayer,
you would have thought I was nuts. I would have thought I was nuts, But there I was, and I felt okay about it. But if the meeting says men stag, that means just men. That means women who dresses men or men who don't shave, but where a woman's wigs shouldn't be there. I'm sorry. There has to be a clear alcoholics anonymous or something
like that isn't there. There must be. But as we left, the tranny turned to me to thank me for sharing my story, and it, because I don't know what it was, it said to me, you said your name is aj right. I said yeah, yeah, and it says back to me, Hi, I'm Chico, and immediately knew that was my best friend back from the dead. Just to bust my balls because I've never seen that tranny at the meeting I attend, so don't tell me that wasn't Chico. It was him for sure. I'm want to leave you with this.
Before you go, I want to thank somebody that you're probably not gonna realized. I want to thank but this person needs to be thanked publicly, and you all should know why. I have to thank Jamie Fox for finally allowing me to have the vindication I deserve, even though so many people in the media came down on me, calling me a liar and wondering aloud who the hell I thought I was. That I would actually go public back in May with what Jamie Fox was going through and what this mystery illness was.
And if you remember, I broke that story and it literally went all over the world. This guy's been out of the public eye since experiencing this medical emergency on a film set in April, but he made his first public outing Monday night at some critics choice celebration of the Cinema of Nonsense Both another one of those awards where you get to slap each other's back, the Big Circle Dirk for Hollywood Stars. But he did say while he was getting emotional that
he couldn't walk six months ago. I want to thank everybody I've been through something. I've been through some things, you know, I cherish every minute. Now it's different. I couldn't do this six months ago. I couldn't walk now. If you remember my story that broke internationally said that Jamie Fox in May was partially paralyzed and partially blind. Many people poo pooed it. I tied it up with him getting the vaccination for this movie role that he
didn't want to get. Some people didn't like that tie in either way. If he says to a crowd in Hollywood, I couldn't walk six months ago, that would mean partially paralyzed, would it not? Okay, I was close to the truth. Meanwhile, his daughter saying he's playing pickleball at June. That was nonsense, and I called her out on that as well, and then she called me some crazy white person because clearly my color means a
lot with respect to this story. Idiots. So it turns out I was correct, very correct when I said Jamie Fox was partially paralyzed, and like I said, he was partially blind as well. Let's see when he's comfortable enough to let that detail out of the back. And now you all, you birds, you freebirds, still whip them around your cage. You're high up there on some limb. Go to patreon dot com. Slash fame is a bitch. We'll stay on the Jamie Fox story because there's more to come.
And I gotta tell you that's a story I broke for my patrons way back in May. The Jamie Fox story got a lot of shit for it, but I knew I was one hundred percent correct, So I never got nervous or agitated on you know, when I was facing people online who said I was lying. In fact, I felt great knowing I had the goods on it. Not that I wished him any kind of unfortunate health scare, but once he's in a hospital and it's announced, and it's my job to
find other details, and I happen to have somebody in the room. Sorry, but I want you free birds to feel the same way when you get an exclusive from me months before the celebrity decides to go ahead and cop to it. It's a lot more than you think, all right, So please go to patreon dot com slash Fame as a Bitch. That was your show
