Speaker 1

From Workhouse Ketch. Same is it, bitch? This is your daily on Filter. Padgy would like to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. The guys put the cock okay four Tues today. I love it. And what a four twos two plus two is four? Two plus two is four? Four twos is forty four? Damn it. It's a good day. Although these landscapers are around. I was thirty minutes not dirty. Twenty minutes into the show and I have to stop because the landscaper lawnmower

showed up and I could not believe the noise. Windows are shut, but they were coming through loud and clear. So I can't do that to you guys. Trying to get the show to Mike. He's leaving Vegas in a couple hours to come back to Florida, and I'm leaving tomorrow morning going to Vegas to finish poker, and he's got to get this show now or else he wouldn't be able to put it up until tomorrow late morning.

And you guys are a little panic and some of you'll miss the show, and I don't want that to happen. So let me just start by saying I was looking at some article reading about the top podcast not because I'm looking for mine. Mine's not ranked in the top two hundred. I know that, but I'm just curious. I

figured i'd know most of them. Most of them I know Joe Rogan Podcast America, Bill maher on Share Expert smart List, a lot of the ones I listened to, Alex Shones, Canon Owens, there's a lot of Ben Shapiro. I have no answers, and I can't even believe that the Kylie Kelsey podcast with her husband and you know the x X Philadelphia Eagle, and you know Travis Kelcey coming on this is like either number one or number

two podcasts. I got one hundred million dollar deal Kelsey, Oh, Kylie Kelsey, her husband and Travis oll take thirty three million and change in a piece. Has your life changed? It all because she has a podcast and these two schmucks around it. I shouldn't say schmucks, but her husband, Kylie Kelsey's husband can't even remember his first name. He's in the shadow of Travis can't and the shadow of Taylor can't remember his name. I don't care. What the

fuck has he ever said? What does she ever said that has changed the way you look at things, and it's all horseship. But she's gonna get the Webbe Award for Best Podcast of the Year. You know, last time around it was Amy Poehler who had about six shows

under a belt, and she got best Podcasts. You mean, it's never gonna go to Joe Rogan ever, the guy that was one of the beginners with Corolla and Mark Maron, who's a print forget about him, but not many guys were doing podcasts fifteen sixteen years ago, and Joe's number one or two all the time. He's not Podcast of the year. You think more people talk about Kylie Kelsey than Joe wrote can get the fuck out of here?

Get out of here? If he's Johnny Carson from the old day, she's not even Samantha Be when it comes to where you get your information or laughs from, give me a break. And then this Drewsky, this unfunny black kid. Suddenly, you know, some people just become so famous so quickly. I feel that way about Doci. Maybe many of you don't know the rapper female very cute. She has a

couple of good songs. Do she just blew up became so famous so quickly, commercials movies that a lot this happens to a lot of people, like we call them plants, you know, like how do they get here? And Soabi Pedro Pascal, who agrees to everything toes the line, he's gay, he's got a transgender a sibling, everything is perfect. So he's a plant. Give him all the movie rolls. Blah blah blah. Kyleie Kelsey's a plant. There's no reason a woman like her should be this popular or drusky. He's

to me allnless. He's the one who went out there and imitated Erika Kirk by putting on the wig. He culturally appropriated her. Look at the TPUSA big thing with the sparklers and all this shit going off in the air. I'm not an Erica Kirk fan. I don't believe eighty five percent of what she says. But I don't like Candace Owens, and I don't like how rabbag she's become going after Erica Kirk. This is unbelievable. But you know, they all have big shows. And Tucker Carlson too. Now

he's apologizing, saying, I apologize for supporting Trump. I feel like it's my fault and the millions of us are in this trouble. And his son was working for the organization and he left. Your listen, Tucker, put on your bow tie again and be that prick on CNBC. All these people will do and say anything to get headlines, to get likes, clicks, subscribers, and money, money anyhow podcast of the year to get them. How about this story that you're not going to see on the news. You

have to just find it. It's on social media. Maybe it'll be on Fox later today, but it won't be on CNN or MSNB. Now, a white firefighter in Wisconsin came upon a black drug addict overdosing in the street right a little you know, shades of George Floyd. Did they lean on the guy and grab and cuff him. Now, they came to his aid with nark can and they were patting them on the back and give them nark can.

And this guy was gonna die. And there when he came back, when he came to they're all, hey, buddy, there he is, Hey, pal, you okay, we lost you there for a minute. All right, you know, you had an overdose. We took care of it. And that you know, like saying you're okay you I mean, now that you hear you have anything on you have any weapons? Know, and the black guys like, listen, I don't like talking to cops, you know. I just don't like cops. I

don't like officials fire men. I don't like officers there like okay, no problem man, as he's saying this and that kind of Hey, we just want to make sure you're not going to hurt yourself as somebody else, you know, have cops are and firemen. He takes out a gun and kills the fireman. He killed the guy that just saved his life. I can't believe it. These stories, a story like this is going to be ignored because they don't fit the narrative, the preferred narrative that the legacy

media has been pushing for years. You know what you do to get a cure for this, here's the cure. You got to get out more often. And I'm guilty. I'm more guilty than most of you because I'm on social media constantly looking for stories. How can I spend this cause there's this story, you know, break up anything in the cobwebs. In the back of my mind, that I can do on the show. So I'm always reading

and just raking over everything. But if you get out more often, you'll see the world and the people in it and are not as bad as the way social media is painting it. Depending upon your algorithm, my algorithm must be the same as I don't know Ted Bundy's and Edgar Allan Poel. I see such gory shit, murders, kidnappings, you know, car accidents of course, puppies and pretty girls as well. But I go into that gore phase where

I see nothing but crazy scary shit. But I met Rocco's track meet yesterday, three teams, a lot of kids, and you start to look and you go, you know what, Not everything is a big fistfight at waffle house, or a black and a white guy shooting each other at a bodega, or somebody robbing a jewelry store and ski masks like not. Everything's about that. Rocca goes to a school that has a lot of blacks in South Americans. This is Southern California. You can't avoid it. And you

know what, You see them together. They're hugging each other, consoling each other, celebrating with each other, aiding each other, black teachers, white students. I mean, everybody gets along. Fucking thing is back. I'm not restarting now, guys. We'll have to just get through it. Unbelievable. All the windows are shut too unreal. I'm sorry, but Mike's gotta get the show. Fuck but you get out more often, don't let social media poison you. And uh, you know, it's just obviously.

There's this one girl that I know likes Roco. She walks around. She's tall, she's thinned, like five seven, and she wears a lot of eye makeup and she has bracelets on, a studded bracelet. She has makeup on and nice hair, and I could tell she likes him. He just looks fuck right past it. But I'm looking at her, going, this is so nice. This is great. I like that she likes him, And you know, he's not overly conceited about it. He's like, I don't know, maybe she's nice,

you know. Then the other team had a girl who had hair extent, non extensions. They were real, real hair dreads down to the back of her knees, and she was about five eight. But these both these girls, these black hicks, were very fast but they're all doing things like they saw Jackie John at Percy Do and other pretty track stars of the last twenty five years, the way they wore makeup and jewelry and hair extensions, and

they're emulating that, and it's sweet and it's cute. And I suggest we all get out more and see things like that rather than the news and Instagram and Facebook and Twitter, which is the worst. Threads just out just lies outright about things. They just make shut up. Three Threads is the national inquirer of apps or social media platforms. Is awful. But let me just jump to this story that really got me. It hurt me. Charlie Sheen and

Denise Richard's daughter, Lola Sheen. She said that she and her mother Denise to get back together with her one time boyfriend Patrick Muldoon, the guy that just died. The actor from Melrose plays Beverly Hills, Dinald two and O Starship Troopers. He just has a new movie coming out soon with some good people in it as well, and Alec Bowin's as he bets some good people. That's a decent actor. I used to run into him at Jerry's Delian Studio City where we were taping poker over there,

nice guy, and he dies at fifty seven. I think of a heart attack, and I'm sorry. Whenever I hit guys that age dying of heart attacks, I just think that these are COVID related deaths. I'm sorry. They're not COVID but from the jab okay, from the injection. Because you know, in my father's era, men in their fifties got all attacks. My father had two back to back, his brother had four, his other brother, Larry, had three,

all in their fifties. It was a different era. Now, in twenty twenty six, men are and trapping a fifty seven heart attacks unless they got the jet. And I'm sure you've seen videos of doctors pulling out threads of blood from somebody's veins, Like, what the hell's happening to us? And then, of course the story that I said once, I didn't want to say it a lot, but you know, early on Andrew and I, well, she was pregnant and we were gonna have it. I mean, it was just like, yeah,

we're gonna have it. And then she's carrying it for a few months and then she miscarries, very upsetting blah blah blah, and she goes to her gynecologist, and gynecologists said, just out of curiosity, is your boyfriend? Did your boyfriend get the COVID chat. She goes, yeah, he did. He's got older siblings and you know, didn't want to bring

and younger nieces and travels a lot. She goes, well, I'm just you know, we've seen a two hundred percent increase in the miscarriages from women whose boyfriends or husbands had the shot. So you got Patrick muldoon dropping dead, the California Angels baseball team lost Garrett Anderson, who was a World Series champ, great athlete again in his fifties, dropping dead. I'm telling you I'm right. I'm not that I'm the only a lot of people are saying it.

There's studies that show that there's so many more heart related illnesses, mild carditis and heart attacks, all sorts of shit since people got the jam. But anyhow, getting back to this this Instagram post that Lola Sheene put together, I thought you were the one that was supposed to be in our lives forever. When I think of my childhood, I think of you, Patrick, and it's going to be so weird to go on without you and our lives. Wow, such a huge part of our family and life will

never feel the same. But that's just because of how much you impacted us. Thank you for showing everyone around you how to be alive. Twenty year old kid and him and Denise Richard stayed closed even after they broke up, because he made a laugh when life was getting difficult for her. He also made Lola Sheen laugh a lot because he would sing the kink song Lola to her and she'd never heard it, so on Hello, she would laugh. She was a kid, and she said, I really miss

my mom. I really miss hearing my mom laugh on the phone with you. That's a that's sentence right there from a twenty year old kid has to send shivers down Charlie Sheen's spine. I know, Charlie, she knows he wasn't a model parent, wasn't there often enough spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally. He knows that he's done the work. God bless and man guy had a ball and then went through hell. But to see your daughter writing this letter to another man,

that's tough. I mean, if we're this comes to worse than there's a divorce or a separation. You always want your loved one to be happy and to not have a prick in her life, and for the kids to be safe and sound. And of course you do, but trust me, as a man, deep down inside you don't want them to be that gushy. But this new guy, you just don't. Thank you for being the one to make her laugh and forget all about she's going through.

That was a gift you had. The bond you two had was something so special that no one can touch. When I think of my mom, I think of you. You guys came as a package, and I'm so thankful I got to know you and witness a friendship so pure and special in front of my eyes. And she said she always thought her mother would end up with Patrick muldoon. I begged her. I'm sure she told you that you guys would end up back together, but I

guess they and best friends was better. Anyways, you really were a rock star parent and forever will be not not parent, a rockstar, Pat and forever will be have fun up there. I know you will love you, you know. I know the guy had a girl. He was with Miriam Bart whoever that is. But she's the one who found him dead in the bathroom floor. What are so many men die in the bathroom floor? Do we spend that much time in the bathroom? I know we take our phones and read our books on the bowl, but

I mean, everybody dies in the bedroom. I don't know. It's a weird thing. I'm still wondering how Bob Saga died. That whole thing doesn't sit robb with me anyhow. These two did have a very very deep friendship, There's no doubt about that. But Denise says she never spoke to Patrick while she was married to Charlie. She said that in one of her reality shows one of the chef two or three, who the hell knows, but she didn't

want to lose him as a close friend. But towards the end of the marriage she talked to him all the time. Hmmm, because she had a hard time dealing with uh Charlie, and Charlie had a hard time dealing with her in Muldoon's relationship. That's why this post from his daughter it kind of hurts me a little bit. And she said that the daughters said there were even the other daughter, Sammy said there were sparks still between Muldoon and Richards when they reconnected on some music video

that she was with Aaron Phiper's said Vipers. What a stupid name, that last prick she was with. But the kids knew, the kids that I could tell he's thoughted feelings for my mom. But I don't want to get anybody in trouble. They do have thirty years of history, you know. Let me just say something about let me

speak on that. This happens a lot more often than you think, you know, because it is possible, for sure to be in love with someone like a wife or a husband, girlfriend, boyfriend and still have fond feelings for someone from your past. Obviously, the key is not acting on those feelings or stoking the flames. But to say I don't have any fond feelings. I don't want to

hear their voice again. I'm not that guy. I know plenty of guys in marriages that have never and would never call an ex or receive an ex girl call from a girl. It's different now with all the with all the instagrams and facebooks and texting, you could get something out of the blue that you have nothing to

do with. But your wife or girlfriend, husband and boyfriend is still gonna get pissed off, But you have nothing to do with I can't stop someone from reaching out to me, but you can stop how you respond to that person. And we all know the kind of shit that we could say that would hurt our loved one or they could brush it off. But you know, sometimes life puts us into situations that make that a test,

makes it hard to uphold the valves sometimes. But if you have fun feelings, if you love somebody years ago, I'm you know, I'm very much like that. If you were in my life and I loved you, my family knew you, and we went together, We've traveled together, this and that. Well, I just can't discard those people. I can't just two embedded in my head. Even if it

ended badly, I still have fun feelings for them. I still look back and think about the laughter and the fun, and then we all shaped each other in some way, you know. I Well, I'm looking on Instagram, like you know whatever, and I'm traveling. I'm scrolling through people's stories and I see this one video come up and as a girl in the distance walking from I can see the back of her. I saw one second of this girl walking maybe a second, and I said, that's Carra's walk,

and then I zoned in on the blue. No, that's her. Oh, it's her story. Okay. She was in New York and she was shopping. Oh okay. See, you just know, if you know someone that well, I don't know how, you just go fuck it. Yeah, not talking to them anymore. They're done. Unless you have somebody in your life that you're completely committed to and you know it would really hurt their heart, then you move on. With my second wife, Lola, she didn't care who I contacted, who called me. She

just never cared. But others don't want anything to do with that. So you got to play it by you, I guess. Speaking of relationships, yesterday, I told you I wanted to tell you more about the great May West, and you know this, she was something else. I don't know how many of you have seen some of the movies she was in, but she was really like no other. There was no one else like Maywest. There still hasn't been. But the subject came out from my patron, ZeVA Palmer.

She said, did you know about Maywest with this boyfriend? You have this black guy, this black man. I said, yeah, we did a mysteries and scandals on her. I know all about it. The guy was named Albert Chalky Right Chucky Wright w RGHT. He was a featherweight boxer fought for twenty years twenties to the late forties, and he was a featherweight champion. His record was a little crazy back then, those guys fall like every three days. His

record was eighty seven No. One hundred and seventy one wins with eighty seven knockouts, forty six losses, and nineteen draws. Those draws alone will make me want to retire. A draw water two is what nineteen anyhow. But back in the thirties, Chalky Right was very friendly with Maywest. You know,

Maywest was a boxing fan. She liked tough guys. She dated a couple of body belough she liked men like that, and at one point she helped him finance his boxing career and she eventually brought him on as her living bodyguard, living bodyguard and chauffeur for a time, and that began this romantic relationship that they both had to deny publicly. This is way before Sammy Davis and uh Eddon. May

britt Am I wrong. Sammy had the white girlfriend and they the studios said you're not you cannot be with her, and they made him marry a black woman, just just for you know, cosmetic kind of a look. It was this white I think it was Edna's what's wrong with me? It was may Britt, not may Britt. May Britt. Yeah, they were. They were hot and heavy, but the studios would not allow it. Next thing, you know, he marries a black assistant or somebody who was nobody damn but whatever.

But Hollywood was obsessed with appearances back then, and obviously racial racial lines were really strictly drawn, so their relationship seeing them together really stood out, and a lot of people looked at it and thought, well, she's just very defiant about this. So it was very controversial story, but at the same time, it was very courageous and brave of both of them, namely her, because she was a

big star to do that. There was one point, you know, Maywest lived in a beautiful building, the Ravenwoods apartment in Hollywood. I was there a couple of times because Jeremy Piven had a place there. Beautiful apartment building, you know, art deco, doorman. It's gorgeous, gorgeous, and she lived there, but the people who ran it, the management, would never let Chalky into

her apartment. He had to stay outside. So may West was doing pretty well back then, and she responded by buying the entire building and that was never a problem again with Chalky going upstairs. Chucky also played a big role in protecting Maywest from threats. She got threats back

in nineteen thirty five. He helped some copy in a sting operation against somebody that was extorting, targeting Maywest for money, and Chalky planted a decoy purse near the Water Brothers studio to catch the guy and they called him so look a woman like Maywest broke all the rules. But what she loved more than anything else with loyalty, and she likes standing up for people who still up for her. And with this Chalky Wright character, she found someone who

did just that. He was strong, he had dignity and what she called an unwavering presence. I'll post a picture of these two at the bottom of the show. But she was unique, to say the least. You got to go back to her late teens or early twenties. She goes from Vaudeville to Broadway and was very provocative, always controversial, sexy, trying not to look at Maywest when she was from sixty to eighty when she died, and she lived with

somebody for many years at that point. But in her youth, Yeah, I know, women were thicker back then, and there were no size zeros or twos or four as everybody seemed to be at ten to twelve or sixteen whatever the hell, But that was the women back then. Some guys like that, some guys don't, but you can't argue with it. Maywst being a very special kind of person and no one's

ever been able to emulate since. She took roles in these plays that were very shocking for the times, and one time she wrote, directed, and started a play that was got arrested. She got busted for indecency in New York City after appearing in this play. But she also loved that publicity. In the meantime, she was very big

with standing up for game and black people. She'd always kept her mother with her, was very intelligent about managing her own career when a lot of people around them were losing theirs and losing their money and their dreams just up and died. Maywest kept going, and she was very headstrong about where she wanted to end up. Not to mention her business interests, I mentioned the Ravens Would apartment.

She had real estate all over California, a lot of it in Hollywood, and a lot of these guys being crosby Bob Hope. So many celebrities back then were buying buildings into Luca Lake and Burbank and Hollywood. You know, I guess they had some good representation back then, good accounting, good good bankers, people who knew, hey, you know, at this career might not last forever. Wyonn't you buy that building? You'd be happy five years from now. I want it

triples in worth, you know that kind of shit. People wonder how how do these movie stars make it? They haven't worked. How does Bruce Willis make it? He hasn't worked the year. First of all, Bruce Willis got back in on so many movies. Please, at the end of his life, he was doing a movie. He'd work five days, have an air piece of his year and get a million bucks just so they could put him on the cover and sell the movie out in Europe. You know,

because he was big out there. But he just saw this house for forty one million dollars privately, these things the people who made money early and then bought property, you never lose, especially in this town. You never lose with having a house or two. Oh my god. So that's how they withstand the lean years. They sell a property, you know, Oh I bought this for eight Now it's twenty two, thank you. You know. But she was a free spirit. Shocked a lot of people what she said

and did. I mean, she was a lot like Malina Dietrich. But Malina Dietrich was very vain, and a lot of people will say she was cold, like emotionally cold. But that wasn't Maywest. You think about the thing she accomplished in her career. She was really went against, you know, censorship. She challenged that every step of the way. And since she got a start on stage, she you know, she learned to sing and dance and burlette shows and vaudeville,

as I said, got to Broadway. But that play that was called sex, what she wrote, produce and directed strong ticket sales. But of course, like I said, the vice squad dragged her out, gave her an eight day prison set or jail set, and she served six got two days off for good behavior. But she did say on the way out, I expect this will be the making of me. And that was the first kind of sign

of what will become a theme throughout her career. But yeah, i'd like a check like that, very very uh, you know. In the press, she would say the censorship was a good thing for her career and that this new code they put into the movies didn't change her act that much,

so she had to rely on being more subtle. She couldn't be as sexual, and she only made you know, she didn't make a ton of movies during that period, and whenever she did, the censors would just cut it up, take away her funniest lines and her best scenes before they released the films. So then she would purposely include some lines that were very risque by the standards back then changed the dialogue in the script as they were filming. Even though she knew it wouldn't fly, she would push it,

you know. So she didn't want to be a part of things that were so tame, so she did it her own way. Now, she didn't like making my Little Chickadee with w c Fields, which is a movie I like and always left like hell when I watch it back in nineteen forty. But that was the last successful film of her career, nineteen forty. Well, and people forget she wasn't just somebody that shut up in a movie and found her mark and her light and restarted her line.

She was a writer, director, producer. She knew her voice like no one else knew it. I love people like that. You could just say, hey, this is why I want to talk. Change that line to this, this is more me, you know. And when she appeared in films written by somebody else, she would change of dialogue come up with this classic one line, as a lot of us have heard. Nobody complained because whatever she contributed usually made the material better.

I mean, you're One of the most famous lines is in a movie called Night after Night, and it wasn't in the original script, but it's in response to a hat check girl who says to her goodness, what beautiful diamonds, and May West says goodness had nothing to do with the theory. I mean, that's just you know. Of course, if you're a director, you'd like, oh, that's fucking perfect, and you go cut perfect printed. We're going with that. It's not often that actors come up with something that

perfect on the fly. But yeah, she wrote that film, and she wrote nine other films where she wrote most of her dialogue. And you know, back then, female writers were unheard of in Hollywood. They worked in the silent era, of course, but when the talkies came, they didn't make it, and none of them were on the same level as Maywest was anyhow. But you know, a woman like her can show people that, hey, women have stories to tell them.

They can tell them in their own voices. It's not only it does not to always be a man's story. So it all, you know, a lot of a lot of that stuff began with but the way she was in her movies, especially the ones she wrote, and again some of the best one liners of all time. Well I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad, I'm better. It's not the many of your life that counts, it's the life in your men. It's great. Well, it's better

to be looked over than overlooked. And then she said, when I'm caught between two evils, I generally like to take the one I never tried. I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it. And this is famous. Is that a gun in your pocket? Or you just glad to see me? That has gone all around the world and been translated into different languages. And of course we say things like is that a been out in your pocket?

Is that a chap's sticking your pocket? You know? But while we're on the subject of famous lines, it's uh. It's worth saying because a lot of people don't know this. Like that famous line she's always quoted as saying, uh. It was from a movie she done him wrong, and she tells Carrie Grant's character, why don't you come up sometime see me? Because she was always inviting men to come on up. That was her thing, and a lot of movies and plays it was a running joke, but

never set it on screen. The way people remember and imitate. People always say why don't you come up and see me sometime? Big boy? No, it's why don't you come up sometime? Come up see me? It's much more powerful. It's like people do carry Grant and they always go jud d judy, judy. He never said he never said that in any single movie. It just sounds like something he'd say, by the way, she discovered Carry Grant. She

saw him. She was like making her second or third film, and they were both opposite Carry Grant and he had done a handful of films, but it was starting to get noticed, not much. But she took credit because she saw him one on the Paramount a lot and said to somebody next to her, producer, what have you? You know, if if that guy can talk, I'll take him. And of course he could talk, and she took him, and he and the public took to Carry Grant quite a bit.

But the fact that she was headstrong on him so much, I think it lends credibility to the rumors that he was gay. I know, people don't want to hear it because he was such a handsome man. Oh he was with Diane Can. It doesn't matter who they're with, Gavalda Cruz, both with beautiful women. Who doesn't matter, you know. But yeah, she uh found Carry Grant. And I'll tell you what she made this movie. I'm no angel that you know. The Paramount, the theater of the studio she was under.

They were facing bankruptcy. This is the Great Depression, and there have been horrible financial trouble, and it was under the control of the trustees, and she did a movie called She'd Done Him Wrong, and it gave them an extra two million bucks and ticket sales, and it was enough to keep the studio afloat for a little while longer. You know, to this day, there's still a may West building on the Paramount lot in honor of her keeping the studio alive. See, this is the kind of shit

I love. It's not lost on me because I remember, having already done the Mysteries and Scandals episode on her. I would then go and stay at Robert Evans's house and visit him. And one day it dawned on me, I'm like, if may West doesn't keep Paramount afloat, then the day where Robert Evans becomes the head of Paramount, that never happens, and I probably would have been robbed of what a wonderful friendship and mentorship it was to have him in my life. Maybe I'm stretching things a

little bit, but they are kind of related anyhow. Little details like that make me feel like a small part of some of Hollywood's lore, or at least I can talk it. Yeah, but a real sex pot as we know also was very against ageism. She was in her fifties when she made some great movies, even on the stage, and back then that wasn't always the case. There's a movie she made the last two were awful. She made

a movie called Myra Breckinridge, which was disaster. Gorvy Dal wrote it it was a rock Cayle Weltch, John Houston foul for us at Rex freet and Tom Selleck, who was very young, bombed in theaters. It was a bomb. It's a culty kind of a movie now but definitely regarded as one of the worst films of all time. But this was a movie where Roquel Welch was at the height of her being a diva and May West

was the diva. And I think rockkeel Welch had a black dress in her dressing room she vosed to wear for a pivotal scene where she meets May West in this movie. And May West was older then saw rockw Welch's sexy gown and was like, no, she's not gonna no, she's not gonna look better than me. No, And she got rid of the dress. But Raquel said nothing, and the day of the shoot she was able to get another dress, the same dress, not the same on, but

another dress. I looked the same, just as revealing, just as sexy, and she put that on. And when Maywest saw that black dress on, it created the kind of emotion those two needed for that scene. But yeah, you don't out diva, Raquel welch. Like when I was dating the MTV VJ I E Dallas Divione and we had a double date with Raquel and her husband, my friend Richie Palmer, and we all went to Aga and I'm there with Raqkel and Richie. I got there ahead. I

Dallas was going to meet me there. But on time, well five minutes, ten fifteen, she's still not there, and Raquel's like, well, should be order, and just you know when she gets it. She got a little impatient. She knew what was going on. You don't out diva the diva. And now Dallas comes walking in, sauntering in look right, always looked great, And I said, I grabbed her leg under the table, went in her ear. What the fuck do you think you're doing? You got rack? Cow? Won't

she you want to come late? You think she thinks she're you cool for doing that? Oh my god, what a fucking bad idea that was. It wasn't like that'll lot between me and I Dallas. But anyhow, Uh then she made a movie called Sex ten eighty four years old. She cast herself as an actress and sex symbol who had multiple lovers and ex husband's played by already Timothy Dolton,

Tony Curtis Ringo star and my man George Hamilton. Film and shit didn't make a lot of sense, but you know, very campy, and it was the last thing she did before her death. But yes, see, you know, I'm the guy lucky enough to hang out with George Hamilton and hear the story about how he did have sex with Maywest. I looked it up, you could google it. It doesn't show, but George told me as a good kiss and tell her that's the famous story of him having sex with

her during that shoot for sex sex tent. She's fucking eighty four. I can't even imagine it. But the point is George was a horn dog and he's having sex with her, and at some point he has a loud snap and he thought something fell whatever the hell, you know, it was kind of dark in the room. Then he gets back at it and he has another snap, and he said to me, when I look back at her face, he sad to say one of those noises. He said, her face had fallen, her chin was on her tits.

I said, what he goes back? Then? You know the women were using rubber bands on their head that would pull their skin back and make them look more youthful. But her band snapped, I guess we were having sex too hard, I said, I can't even hear Maywest having sex hard at eighty four years old. I can't. But that's the way George Hamilton was. Sex was more important than a lot of things. But either way, there's your Maywest,

Chalky Wright Store Chalky Wright. If I remember correctly, I think I mentioned in the show that he also had an affair with Dorothy Dandridge. I believe, beautiful black actress. She was really pretty. Did a show on her as well. Dorothy was I think she died in her bathroom about two doors down from Uncle Vinnie's place in West Hollywood. Died in her bathroom. I was in that bathroom when

we did the show. We were able to shoot in one of the in the building, and I think Dorothy Dandrid only had fourteen dollars left to her name when she died. Beautiful actress, porgy and best. Just so sad, but yeah, there you go. Maywst big standout. Anybody who came after her, you know, who combined being a blonde and a bombshell with brains and a quick wit, is taking after her, is imitating and emulating the great May West. Just one of those people. You know, what you see

is what you get. And she played a lot of characters, but she was only always ever really playing an exaggerated version of herself. That happens a lot in Hollywood. You know, she could be other people, but let her be yourself. It's more entertaining. So, you know, incredible legacy. And I'll end it with something she said once that's so apropos. She said, you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. Can't really imitate it, but you get the point. That's it. Gang. I'm aj Benson.
