Fame. He'd like to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. He's the guy put the cock in the peacock network. Okay, bitch, hey, what's that sound? Boy? Back in the day, hearing this sound at three thirty in the morning was a bad thing. But now it's connoring in comforty because today it's the free show. Yes, his fame as a bitch free show. My little birdies, my finches, my hunting birds, my nightingales, my robbins, my crackles, even
a few ravens out there. It's hanny to get to the show. Come here, some hearing worms, I see some wearing grubs. Good for you people. I'm really happy you're here. Anybody make the move to Patreon? Yet? What is no birds? Turpy? Do we keep playing this whole show? What do you want to do? I'm only kidding. Hey, gang, nice, nice to be with you. Just got a nice steaming cup of my ginger tea. I like taking a throat coat bedtime tea because
it tastes so good. It's got bergamot in it, lavender and all sorts of stuff I like. But it just gets me drowsy. It's too early to be drowsy. So I take ginger tea and I love it and it's good on the throat. Well, let's see, there's a lot of stuff going on in Hollywood, is specially well, this is not quite Hollywood. But the next story I do after this story will be about sports, and it really blows my mind. But this is the world we live in and
it deserves to be spoken about. First of all, Helen Mirren, the Great Helen Mirren. She thinks it's incredibly stupid to claim that people in the entertainment industry should only play whatever they are in real life. This has obviously become a topic because Helen Mirren is playing Gold of My Ear in the upcoming movie Golda, about the legendary Israeli Prime Minister and her leadership during the Young
Coppola War. I wish they'd start coming up with better titles. I know that the Harriet Tubman movie, somebody said, let's just call it Harriet the Gold of My Hear movie, Let's just call it GOLDA. Can't we just be a little more creative with the titles. I don't know anyhow. Helen Mirren and the writer Nicholas Martin they're not Jewish, and boy, that's caused some people to get very upset because they have nothing else to do. We've
talked about these people before. They don't care how good an actor Helen Mirren or many other people are. They just don't want to see somebody play that role. Who really isn't that person through bloodline or you know, it's just ridiculous. There's this one notable critic of Helen Mirren playing Gold in My Air. It's an actress named Maureen Lippmann and she told the Jewish Chronicle, I
didn't read that this week my Jewish Chronicle. Usually I have it over a onion Bengel with a schmeer of cream cheese, but I didn't do it this week. But the Jewish Chronicle she said, I'm sure Helen will be marvelous, but it would never be allowed for Ben Kingsley to play Nelson Mandela. You just couldn't go there. Well, you know what, Ben Kingsley is part Indian and Nelson Mandela was black, So yeah, I don't think. I don't think Ben's gonna be brought in to read for the Nelson Mandela movie.
Stop it. We know that's Morgan Freeman's roll the whole way okay, But good for Helen Mirren. She's not backing down, she's not apologizing. I like that, and she loves writers. Helen read my script, me and Compel's script Whole Self in because she's married to a director that did a
lot of beautiful things back in the day. Yeah, when we wrote Whole Self and me and Neil always had obviously elderly actresses in mine because it sent us around this old woman named Katherine in our screenplay, and we went through Ellen Burston, Elaine Stritch, Sally Field, even We even gave the script to Warren Batty to see if he thought his sister Shirley McClain could play the role. Shirley loved it. She said, this is a great screenplay,
but you don't want to hire me. I travel with eight different people, a hairstylist, an astrologer, somebody who reads her palm. It's just a massage massus. It's a nightmare. At least she was upfront. Ellen Burston said, I don't want to play anybody that age. Memal, she's about four years younger than our character. Then her next movie she played somebody very
old, so actresses and actors are a weird lot. But Taylor Hatford, Helen Mirren's husband only made movies called Devil's Advocate, Ray Officer and a Gentleman Dolores Claiborne. I mean, this guy no knows how to direct a classic movie. He's done it time and time again. The Comedian, which wasn't great, but I liked de Niro's work against all odds. Rachel Oh, my god, rememin that movie. Rachel Brown. She came out in this movie, Nobody, I mean god, Rachel Ward. Rachel Ward was in
this movie with Jeff Bridges. My sister was crazy about Of the Rain. Read the book. It was a miniseries on TV. I know I'm getting off track, but James Woods is in there, some really good Richard Widmark. But Bridges and Rachel Ward have this insane affair. And she was gorgeous. And Brian Brown, the old Australian actor, saw her in that movie, scooped her away, took her out of Hollywood, moved down to a farm in Australia, and that was the last, pretty much the last we
ever saw of Rachel Ward. Thanks to Brian Brown. He did not want that and to go through the gauntlet in Hollywood. But that was some movie, and that's Taylor Hackford, and we knew that if we gave it to Taylor, he would try to get his wife to play the role of Catherine.
Taylor Hackford got it. He loved it. Then he told our connection listen, I love it, but I've got to read it again this time as a director, and meaning he really has to think about the shots and how the budget would be and how many locations, that kind of stuff. And he came back basically saying, it's great script. I don't think Helen's up for this task. It's not really what she sees herself in which I don't get she decided to do a movie where she plays a spy with Bruce
Willis and Morgan Freeman. I did choices, people make whatever. But these actresses when they get to be a certain age, even the actors, they have all the money in the world they want, and they start thinking, do I want to shoot a movie there? Do all want us spend forty days away from family, away from the comforts of my home. Most of it will be on green screen, not not in my movie, but other movies. You know how many days will that mean and a trailer a lot
goes into their thought process, so we got to know. But Helen Mirren would have been great. And you know again our character Catherine was more than likely Jewish, although we really never say it, but actors and actresses can play different people. And Helen Mirren's not backing down that she got the part to play Golda. She said, it's more frightening for a writer to be told they're not allowed to write about subjects with which they don't have an immediate
DNA connection must be very alarming and ridiculous. Goods. It's a problem for some people, but you know, the director couldn't care less. In fact, he told the Radio Times that the situation is creeping authoritarianism. Am I just supposed to write about middle aged men living in the south of London? Good point. They're both one hundred percent correct. The idea that actors and writers should only play their specific sexual orientation, race or religion. It's just
it's nuts. It's called acting. It's not real. That's the whole point. Even if the story is true, like the Gold of My Air story, you don't need to cast exclusively Jewish people. What are we even talking about here. You tell them me. If there's a World War two movie or TV show, all the writers and actors should only be whatever their specific characters are. Let's take Band of Brothers, greatest war story ever told, and the lead actors Damian Lewis, and he hit it out of the park
as an American officer named Richard Winters. You know where he's from, right, He's British, but he gave an all time great performance. So should all the actors and Band of Brothers playing German roles? Should they have been German? No, it's not a new situation. We've talked about this on the show before. Some people are just dumb enough that they apologize, and that opens the floodgates. Jenny Slap, the funny girl with the big nose,
who's very, very funny in the roles she plays. She infamously apologized for playing a black character on the cartoon called big Mouth. No need to say is sorry. And speaking of Helen Mire, and she plays an American ranch or in nineteen twenty three the Taylor Sheridan Show and she's great. You tell me, I shouldn't be allowed. The writer and showrunner Taylor Sheridan isn't Native American, but if you've watched his work, he's written plenty of storylines
about Native Americans in film and TV. Just hidly the best roles, the best people for the best roles, and the best people to write it. It's not complicated. But apparently some people just don't understand it. And this is ridiculous. So how about we go fowe to make a deal. No gay actor can play anything but a gay actor. How do you like that? You guys happy with that? Of course you're not. No black actor can play any role originated as a white character. That wouldn't make them happy.
No able actor can play any actor that is disabled. Think of some of your favorite movies. What that would have done. Jamie Fox wouldn't have played Ray Chaws, you know. Come on, Tom Cruise wouldn't have done Born on the fourth of July, goes on and on. No autistic actor can ever play any any new role typical character. No actor who's not been the victim of a sexual assault can ever play a character that is the victim of a sexual assault. This is the sort of bullshit that creeps into everybody,
even those people who have had huge successes. If you go back to one of the best TV shows of all time, The Wire, written by David Simon, that show couldn't get made today, especially the way it was created by David Simon, because he's a white dude and it sent it around black crime in a very black part of town. And David Simon is stupid enough to say in interviews that he regrets the lack of diversity in the writer's room. Why you wrote one of the best dramas ever on TV. These
are issues. I mean, not every writer on Sopranos was Italian, not every showrunner was Italian, few of them were. When there are issues when Hollywood would would have white actors portray non white characters under this fear that they need name stars, but also never developed non white stars since they don't think they will sell well. And to this day they'll do things like shrink John Boyega off a Star Wars poster in China under the mistaken belief that other countries
are as racist as too many Hollywood producers are. And then we go through the jew face accusations. Remember that being Jewish is not an automatic ticket to success in Hollywood, but ignoring the fact that Jews have, you know, prominent positions in corporate leadership and in acting and directing and writing, is the same as other marginalized groups. That's foolish. Helen Mirren and Bradley Cooper are not out to portray lazy stereotypes of Jews for cheap laughs. They're taking their
work seriously. It is not the same issue as white performers in blackface or John Wayne playing ganghas Kan. It's way different when you've got all these efforts going on right now to offer stories about you know, people of color, LGBT, disabled and other marginalized groups, and that also needs to include people of those identities and the key leadership and then creative roles you see there.
But it's just, you know, it's lazy accounting where one person involved not checking every box is going to just allow the same cowardly Hollywood power brokers to just say no to any new and challenging stories and instead go right back to remaking classic films and TV that have no need of being retouched. I'm old enough to remember when it used to be that playing roles outside your own race or religion was a way of showcasing your acting range. See Modern Brando and
the Godfather, James Kahn and the Godfather. It goes on and on. Alpaccino in Scarface, I woke up to I think the best story in a long time. I'm so happy to talk about it. It's about the La Dodger farmer pitcher Trevor Bower, who I think was sitting on a three hundred million dollar contract. He'd won the Say Young Award. He was on his to being a long time ace in Major League Baseball, and then he went and met a girl and had a couple of dates that included rough sex.
It was consensual, that's what he's always claimed. And when the girl got a little chippy and started saying that he hurt me, things got ugly. But today or yesterday, on different platforms, he's out there talking Trevor Baller and he's finally able to tell his story. And this video was very nicely done. It says next victim, star pitcher for the Dodgers. And there's a text that the girl he dated, Lindsay Hill, sent to a friend before she ever even met him, and she said to that friend, what
should I steal? And she asked another in reference to visiting his house for the first time. The answer was take his money, girl, So how might that work? Well, I'm to his house Wednesday, she said, I already have my hooks in. You know how I roll. Then, after the first time they met, Trevor Bauer said, her text said net worth is fifty one million, and her friend said, bitch, you'd better
secure the bag. But how is she going to do that? She wrote back, I need Daddy to choke me out being an absolute whore to try to get on his fifty one million. This is what she's talking to a girlfriend about. Then, after the second time they met, a former pitcher for the Padres, Jacob Nicks, told her, you gotta get this bag. I'm thinking another guy saying that to a girl. He said, you
get the bag, I'll give you fifty thousand. She said. She told him, Jacob Nicks, if I get the bag, I'll give you fifty thousand. Even her alcoholics. Anonymous sponsor asked her at one point, do you feel a tiny bit guilty? And she responded, not really. So that speech he made and you can still see it. It puts a whole new spin on the whole Trevor Bauers situation, which was ugly from the start, and it led to him getting suspended from Major League Baseball, and after
he was reinstated from a suspension, the LA Dodgers moved on. They wanted no part of him, and he spent the past year pitching in Japan. And he continued in the video by explaining more about what happened. He said quote. Since then, her legal team has approached me multiple times about coming to a financial settlement, but as I've done since day one, I refused to pay her even a single sent By the way, do you guys notice I always stayed the ARIA or the park MGM most of the time. I
don't know. Three weeks ago there was a hack that affected all MGM properties to the point where the front desk wasn't working. The computers people have to be checked in manually with a flipboard slot machines weren't working. Even the automatic blinds that close and open via electricity or to switch on the wall, they weren't working. Some elevators were out. Thank god, it wasn't when I was there. But that's still going on, still going on. They losing
eight million dollars a day. I don't know why I was attaching that story to this. I forgot, oh the fact that Trevor Ballert didn't refuse to pay her a single cent. Well, MGM has refused to pay these hackers a single cent. They losing eight million a day. When it happened to Sees's palace about a month or two ago. They paid the ransom right away and they would back up operating. But these hackers want fifteen million from MGM and they won't do it. I think it's getting closer to being solved,
but what a nightmare, he goes on to say. In August the twenty twenty one, Lindsay Hill's claims were heard in court, and during those legal proceedings, critical information was deliberately and unlawfully concealed from me and my legal team. Information like this video shows a video of Lindsey Hill is taking this video in the morning, the morning after she claimed she was brutally attacked, emotionally
traumatized and desperate to get away from him. He's sleeping with an ipack an eyemask on, and she's smiling to the camera and mugging for the camera. And they have the metadata so there can be no dispute. It was taken minutes before she left his house on the morning of May sixteenth, twenty twenty one, and Trevor states, without my knowledge or consent, of course, in it, you can see her lying in the bed next to me while I'm sleeping, smirking at the camera, without a care in the world or
any marks on her face. No, I think it paints a pretty clear picture of what actually happened the evening of May fifteenth, and why the video was originally concealed from us. Then he went and discussed a specific legal proceeding and why he ultimately decided to sue Lindsey Hill, because he said, after hearing the evidence available to her, the judge Diana Gould Saltman found that Lindsay Hill had misled the court, and she found her claims to be materialistically materially
misleading, and she denied her request for a domestic violence restraining order. Denied it that doesn't happen often, and she found that no sexual assault or non consensual conduct took place. Now, Trevor says, some of you might not know about restraining order hearings. I know I didn't, but I've since learned that it's extremely rare for a request for a restraining order to be denied because the standard of proof that you need to obtain one is extremely low, So
you can make of that what you will. The fact is I was never arrested, I was never charged with a crime, and I won the only legal proceeding that took place without my side of the story even being heard. Most important, as I've said from day one, I never sexually assaulted Lindsey
Hill, or anyone else for that matter. So I sued her, which prompted her to count assume me. Quite frankly, regardless of the outcome in court, I've paid significantly more in legal fees than Lindsay Hill could ever pay me in her entire life, and I knew that would be the case going in. But the lawsuit was never about the money for me. It was about the only way for me to obtain critical information to clear my name.
Now, this poor guy's baseball future is uncertain. Despite all this information, There are no guarantees as to whether or not he's going to return to MLB, and that isn't a product of teams wanting him or not. He seems to enjoy pitching in Japan, but you know, one would certainly imagine he'd welcome a return to Major League Baseball if and when the opportunity presents itself. And he finished a video by sharing more important information and commented on his future
not just in baseball, but in life. He said. The discovery process us in that lawsuit recently concluded, at which point Lindsay Hill's legal team again came to us with another proposal to resolve the case. This time, however, they weren't seeking any money from me. Having received much of the information that had been hidden from us, a small portion of which I've referenced here, I was willing to agree to the terms proposed that both parties would drop
their respective lawsuits and neither of us would pay either side any money. I also retained my right to speak publicly about the case, something I have not been at liberty to do since June of twenty twenty one. So, as of today, both lawsuits have been settled. See it makes you think we're sitting there and here going Why would he claim his innocence it's been two years.
Well, he couldn't, he wasn't allowed to. But over the last two years he was forced to defend his integrity and his reputation in a very public setting. But hopefully this is the last time he or someone else has to do this. These athletes want to stay focused on their jobs. Is not entertaining fans around the world. One message that he included in the video, claiming that Hill tried to frame him for money digit chills net worth is
fifty one mill bitchy bits two of that bag. That's just disgusting, just disgusting. But you know, believe all women, right, Gotta believe all women. And in a very strange twist to all this, for some reason, she walked away with three hundred thousand dollars, not from Bower but her insurance company. I'm trying to figure out why that would be not a bad haul for her. But to make this even more sickening, she's off to the next chapter of her life, helping others, as she said she wants
to do with similar experiences. What does that mean helping others? Is she going to teach them how to extort money? And once again, the real losers here are actual victims of sexual assault who don't get to tell their stories, and people don't believe that. I don't understand three hundred thousand dollars from her insurance company. What kind of policy is that. Look, I've been square from day one. Anyone who loses a race or sex hoax should pay,
and they should face the same punishment as the guilty defendant. That's the ilemented. Shit's gonna stop. Oh and by the way, I did have him to remember that. Trevor Bauer also did say some nice things about President Trump. Now, I'm sure that didn't help him one bit. However, if he said big thing nice things about Mike and Mike and Obama or Barack or Hillary, we'd be looking at a very different outcoming, you know him.
Right. By the way, whatever happened at a phone call, the nine one one call about the Obama's chef falling off his paddle board and eight feet of pond water dying, come? We no more about that story, I guess not. If I'm Trevor Bauer, I'm suing Major League Baseball and the commissioner of the league personally for lost wages, for emotional pain, suffering and defamation. I asked for eighty to one hundred million dollars. It's a
good settlement. They because what they did is they followed the same guilty until proven innocent. Bullshit what you see going on with Russell brand now and the Dodgers should be sued as well, contract terminated and thrown out of baseball because of accusations. And I know it's impossible with trial by media today, but I wish. I wish the lawsuits were anonymous until the verdict is reached.
I think that'd be a big help because this way, female victims get their day in court versus actual assault, and men are protected versus false allegations. No one loses their job or career after being innocent. But if guilty, have at it. My guess is the court case drops a significant present because howells to extort someone? Anyone who doubts just watched the ESPN documentary called Fantastic Laws about the Duke lacrosse team who everybody deemed guilty. It's jaw dropping how
those boys were railroaded and just college kids. Can you imagine what certain people would do to earn millions awful lae against a rich and famous athlete or a celebrity. You know, God, Look, the guy served his suspension, it wasn't charged criminally, he settled all civil actions. The question is will a Major League Baseball team take a risk, knowing that they'll also be judged in the court of public opinion. It's high risk, but the potential reward
to get a Cy Young Award winning pitcher. He can pitch for the Yankees as soon as he wants. And I'll tell you something right now. The Yankees had a picture of him, Domino Herman, who one season a few years ago looked to be this ace out of nowhere. He had a great year. I forget the year, the year that Rosalie and Jack were moving to Illinois. Every time he pitched, it was so exciting. Domino Herman.
Then came a party when the Yankees won the division, I believe, and there was a party, but the husbands and wives and the girlfriends, you name it, and fairly Domingo Herman, who was I don't know from where, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, one of those countries down there. Well, the wife said something and he punched her in the face, not alone in a corner or in an elevator. He did it in front of
all the players. Then he did it again and again, and a bunch of Yankees got up and ripped him off her and they gave him the what four. Matter of fact, some guys said publicly they want to never see that guy again. Before you get to that woman, they all came to her rescue. There was some guys in it. He would rather leave. The Yankees didn't play with that guy. He got suspended for a long ass
time. And when he was suspended that he had ideas about suicide. And then he came around I want to play, oh, but I'm want to kill myself. The guy lost his mind. This is his future in baseball is probably going to end. And a guy like that, with all that talent, I know he hit his wife. It's awful. I'm not saying it's the way they the way the marriage works if that's not right, but that is somewhat of a cultural difference. I hate to say it, but
still wrong is wrong. The guy needed to be punished. But that's the kind of guy that will kill himself because of this, because the one thing he does great, he's not allowed to do. But at least in that situation that will witnesses and saw him wailing on his wife, And good on the Yankees for taking him apart, and not easily or gently. I might add but the Dodgers, these Dodgers, they fit so perfectly into Los Angeles and California and all the woke bullshit out here. Used to be a great
state. When I first moved here in ninety seven, I remember the smell and eucalyptus trees, and I had this little garden behind my little bung below and we'd do these shoots up in the Hollywood Hills and I'd smell all these beautiful flowers. It was like another world. I remember turning into Robert Evans driveway and seeing these eucalyptus trees one hundred feet tall in the back by the tennis courts. And he had so many candles, vanilla candles that lined his
driveway and when all around his house. He had them made special and he always had them lit every time people came by it. Man, it's just smell magnificent there, not like hot panther piss, which New York City smells like. Believe all women. Though California is once a great state, none no more. Now it's controlled by the radical leftists and Black Lives Matter and
all this other nonsense. So you could do what you want, but believe all women, even when they're destroying someone for money, Nah, not for me. Oh, but don't believe them when they're accusing a democrat of sexual misconduct, because then they're lying. Isn't that the way things go nowadays? I got a tiptoe. He's not wrong, but he's not right. I don't care what a woman wants. If they say hit me or choke me or pe on me, run and block their number. No reason to ever
do those things. There's some serious, very serious underlying issues with anyone who wants to be abused, and you can't help them. You just gotta run. And people wonder why young men today would rather play video games all create an artificially intelligent women. But that's exactly what's happening.
