People Are Strange

no time. They are completely out of control. Sonny Houston needs to be thrown in jail or someone needs to sit her down and really give her a good talking to. She's so full of shit. Her husband's in trouble with some kind of money scheme, whatever. This is a woman you don't want to know. I can't believe she's got such a high paying gig on on national television and does all she can to destroy the Trump presidency, et cetera. And refer to Elon Musk's a Nazi. I can't even

get into it. You know what I don't. I'm not even thinking about politics the last few days I took a break. I know, I owe you guys at PIAB It'll come during the week, but I could. I can't

stand and I'll get into celebrities in a second. I can't stand that there are still people in this world, in our country, that that just want to rail against the fact that we have an administration that wants to cut out all the bullshit spending that's been going on, the robbery, the money will and we're finding it everywhere. I mean, we're talking about trillions of dollars that went overseas.

We've got a listen, thirty fives, thirty six, twenty six trillion dollar debt, whatever it is, it's insane, and we find out that two point seven trillion went someplace out I can't even begin to get angry enough at the asshole politicians who've done this. And like I said, they're blue and red, mostly blue, but there were some red ones in there. And I cannot believe what's been going on. It's no one that they tried to kill Trump. It's

no wonder this guy has gone through Jesus Christ. I mean, you know you can, you can make jokes all you want, but for God's sake, if he's not the pointed one. I don't know who is. I just don't the guy. Yeah, we'll see, but look forget about that. There's so much going on today. Oh my god, I have enough for five shows. One of my buddies just sent me. My patron just sent me a snippet of a podcast, Armie Hammer's podcast, which I like. I like he He has guests

on and they talk about some fun stuff. He's very open and honest. That's the way you gotta be when you were involved in a huge scandal like he was. You're just gonna be cut yourself open and tell the truth, and you know what, it'll go away. People have a really strong tendency to forgive. You just gotta believe me. But if you hide and act like nothing happened, they're gonna come get you. And some of those people are me. So just open yourself up and go, yeah, I screwed up.

I did this and I did that. Let me explain why I did this and the day. But I'm not running from it anyhow. Good for him for really hitting well for a guy in the Hammer family, that's rock bottom. But he's doing what he has to do to get back out I applaud him for that. So he had on his podcast Jillian Barbary, the old Good Day LA morning host and the NFL blah blah blah. You know, jiggly Girl that they always have a jiggly girl on

football Sundays. And I go way back with Jillie. You guys know, I did radio shows with her, Kate t LA, No KBC, and I always had a really strong attraction to her and we always got along very well. And I don't tell you everything, but you know we had a thing. And it began because we kept going out to dinner with the whole crew from the radio station, and you know it was six seven, eight people, blah blah blah. But at some point, you know, her hands on my hand on the table, her foots hit my foot.

I'm married, even though the marriage is awful, and you know, I'm waiting for how to get out of it. And you know, it just was. It was nothing for ten years, living for the kids, that sort of thing, and you know, it's it's a big flirtation and we're the last two people at the table, and let's go out, let's leave, and uh take me to my car, And she did and that obviously meant we're gonna have some fun in the car. And we did. And that up and you know we would. We had done that a few times.

And then one night after one of these dinners in Beverly Hills. It's a long story, but I didn't drive my car blah blah blah. So she she said, I'll drive you back to your place. And now I never thought of Jillian as a big drinker or an alcoholic at all, not a drug addict certainly, just very brilliant, effervescent, fun, over the top person. So what She's driving me home? And I'm telling you, I felt like I was in

the cockpit with the Blue Angels. It was so horrifying the way she turned and changed lanes and speeded, speeded, sped. It was like all right, all right, oh whoa. It got to the point where before we even got to my block, I said, pull pull over here, I can I'll walk the rest of the way home. No, No, I said, no, no, don't worry, I'll I can walk. And I did. And I remember I got home and my wife said what's going on with you? And her like,

what's this all about? I said nothing. She just drove me home, but I walked the last few blocks because I could not believe how awful she was driving. She was obviously drunk. I didn't realize that, but it impaired her driving. Myfe's like, well, why didn't she just drift the house. I'm telling you, I feared for my life. And then I hear this podcast and it's just a snippet.

I haven't listened to the whole thing. I probably won't, but my goodness, she's telling Armie Hammer how crazy she was back in the day when she was married and after she got divorced from the second husband, and Jillian was somebody that always earned the money for the men, you know, she was the breadwinner. And she mentioned like how quote unquote great she was that she would have sex with her husband he could put a gun to her head and make believe he was gonna kill her,

like crazy shit. So the fact that I was scared that she was driving me home, I'm like, okay, I can handle that, But I didn't know she was that crazy to like a gun beam put to her head. That's just. But then she copped to being an alcoholic and you know, and liking pills now and then et cetera. And she got rid of all of that, and then she had the horrible cancer situation, and now she's on the combat trail and I wish her all the luck in the world. But boy, oh boy, that was a

messy time. Fun time, but a messy time. How about this story? I can't First of all, by the way, I woke up at eight forty eight, Rosalie was already out of the house. I don't know, driving manicure. I gotta get this. I got a shop we need. I want to get crabs so you can make the dungeness crabs for everybody. I'm like, Rosalie, what the fuck, it's not even nine o'clock. Calmed down. No, that's her out gone, so don't worry about her at all. She's fine. So

I start looking at stories. I can't take this. I understand everything in California burned down at Malibu and Palisades, and it's just it's awful. Pasadena, Outa, Dina, you name it. But there are some celebrities who are doing all they can to help. Paris Hilton says she's partying with about one hundred designer items from her wardrobe. I can't take it. They're trying to it's a nonprofit eleven eleven media impact, trying to raise money for the LA wildfire relief efforts. Okay, great,

it's a good cause. Obviously, it's close to her heart. And she's one of a number of people stars doing this, you know, volunteering and giving away money. But I can't take it. These people are so wealthy. But yet Paris Hilton has listed on her website what have you her juicy Velor tracksuit that was three hundred and ten dollars, but now it's just three hundred dollars. And the Von Dutch tracksuit was two fifteen, now it's only two hundred.

I can't. This collection is filled with personal treasures that hold so many memories. From sparkly dresses I wore to iconic parties, yeah, like Dinny freakoffs to design her bags that travel the world with me. Yeah, like when Nicole Richie and you drove reverse on the highway because she was so high. Each piece is so special. It's always hard to part with items that mean so much. You'll be a fucking favorite. You'll loaded, Your family's loaded. You

You're the Hilton family. Don't act like this is a hard thing to part with a few fucking outfits. I can't wait to see others, uh live in these iconic items. You know what. I can't take the word iconic. When someone mentions it as if they're speaking about themselves, I can't take it. There was a model I was crazy about back in the nineties, Tasha Malta Ekunya, but now she goes by a different name. Uh, just gorgeous Portuguese,

South African, the whole thing. And that's the chick I stopped from marrying Prince Albert when I went to Paris to tell her, you can't marry this guy. Anyhow. We haven't talked in a long time, but she would put pictures up on Instagram of herself at like a fashion show or whatever, and would always say iconic picture. And I'd say, oh my god, don't say that about yourself. Just because you're in the picture with Prince Albert doesn't make it iconic. And here's Paris Hilton doing the same shit.

And I like Paris Hilton. Halluis Vitan Murakami handbag. It's only twenty three sixty ladies, her Max Merril woolf coke. That'll run you twelve sixty. Come on, you could find that money somewhere. Unbelievable with these people, Just write a check. Write a check. Your husband's wealthy too. I can't take it. But there is some serious newsgang and I you know, well, this is hard to even talk about. I don't you know. Blake Lively's four children have apparently felt the effects of

her and Justin Baldoni's ongoing drama. I hate when kids get hurt, even kids that can't read newspapers or understand what the fuck is going on, But they're hurt. Nonetheless, they're traumatized. Blake says, they're traumatized, and she's having a real tough time. That's James, Inez, Betty, and Olan. Okay, I want to let me just check this name. James is ten and is eight, Betty's five, and ol In is two. I'm thinking Owens a guy, A boy. I don't even know, because it's one of those names you

can't figure out. But she says they have been emotionally uprooted in ways that have substantially impacted their well being. And it's not only that. And we all want kids to be healthy and strong and happy. What else can we do? As adults, we want kids to just be fine. It's not only the kids that are affected. Apparently, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, has said he has been affected mentally, physically, and professionally by his wife and children's pain. Now, I

don't know what the physical pain could be. Is it because she's a pain in the ass. What is the physical pain, you pussy that you have to talk about because your wife and you have a problem with Justin Baldoni and the longer it goes on, it makes them both of you look like assholes. But what you're physically hurt by this? Let me tell you something. As a man, every man listening right now would never write that down

in a court case. I feel physically hurt. I don't know what questions they asked him or whether pain is but he's physically hurt. I mean, in fact, he and her have struggled to get out of bed on some days. I told that to Rosalie and Jack, and you know they feel bad for them, because clearly Rosalie and Jack have no issue as health wise they get out of bed, but two movie stars like Blake and Ryan, they just can't get out of bed some days. You know how

it is guys. In fact, Blake apparently chooses to not even go outside in public anymore, and she's fought to maintain her personal life and her business interests behind closed doors. That she's suffering from grief fear, I guess because Justin Baldoni can at any point break in the house and shoot her in the head or one of his goons. I don't know, but she fears him and there's trauma and not to mention extreme anxiety. Do these people want more of us to hate them? What are they doing?

You know, she has painted herself as a very self absorbed and I want to say the word okay, you know it, but that's what she's done to herself. And you know, people are saying her kids are traumatized. How did that ever happen? This is not about money, because her husband Ryan is exceedingly wealthy as an actor and a business man. God knows how many millions he has. This is about her and I'm telling you right now, she is committing Hollywood's suicide. As every day goes on,

she continues this way. It's suicidal and I would be a miss or. Is it remiss? I'd be? Are we remiss? I'd be remiss. I forget either way. I need to tell you. Remiss is the word. I'd be remiss without telling you that Harvey Weinstein was a favorite of hers. I'm just throwing it out there. People don't like to talk about it, but Harvey and her got along great. Blake Livey is losing badly in the court of public opinion.

She's in such desperation that she's dragging her own kids into this drama now hoping that people will somehow find simpathy because kids are involved. Kids have nothing to fucking do with it. She's done the absolute opposite. The public now understand what kind of bullshit artists Blake and Ryan are. Justin Baldoni, who not many of us even knew, is going to go on to have a fantastic career, mark my words. There will be no suit, As I told you,

they already dropped one of the suits. And by the way, and I don't even want to talk about this story anymore. But look, here's probably what's worse for Blake Lively. Taylor Swift is now telling people she needs space away from Blake Lively because her name was dragged into this bullshit lawsuit. And you know that's not what she needs. No one big and famous enjoying an illustrious career wants to be dragged into this kind of stupid cat fight over nothing.

So Taylor is taking a break from their friendship. You know you didn't see her at the super Bowl, Blake, that is, they're not hang it out Caylor Swift. Not that I give a shit about her, but she's not happy about the whole situation. She feels like a pawn because they brought her, They brought her name into it, so naturally she's keeping a distance, wants nothing to do with it. Page six says she's always been a loyal friend to Blake and doesn't appreciate being thrown into this

at all. Of course, she feels used, doesn't appreciate being referred to as one of her dragons, Like that was the worst quote ever. And I saw a video the other day on Instagram where she's on Blake Lively's on some panel talking with I guess the author of the book it ends with us, and she's talking about how fun it's gonna be. This is so gross to go on red carpet or go to some event with the author. And I'm wearing this incredible pair of jeans that were

designed for me. By the way, who told her that's okay to say a special pair of jeans that were designed for me. If I were a husband, I cover her mouth with a goddamn wolf scarf and say, shut the full corp, you're destroying your career. But no, she has to say that these jeans were They had blue

jeans with daisies on them. And the author of the book, who is not a woman that you never see on the red carpet, Okay, just she's a stay at home author who doesn't have the figure in shape that you never see on a red carpet and go, wow, she looks beautiful. No, but they're both wearing these special geens. You know how much the genes cost to put on Blake Lively's ass jeans nineteen thousand dollars. Tell me more about how you feel sorry for her? Speaking of not

feeling sorry, can I tell you something? You know? Look, I know Kevin Spacey has been a crazy guy that's gone after men in Hollywood and even just men in general. He is somebody that goes after it when he wants to go after it. He got caught he lost a ton of money. He's not in jail. He was kind of canceled, but he's coming back and he's fighting back. And apparently Guy Pierce, who I think is a really good actor, had mentioned that Kevin Spacey targeted him while

they were king the movie La Confidential. Great movie, and Guy Pierce, who's, by the way, in the running for an Academy Award for the movie. The Brutalist has told people that he's trying to be more upfront about his experience working with Kevin Spacey, and he said he was probably a victim to a degree. He said, I was sort of scared of Kevin because he's quite an aggressive man. He's extremely charming and brilliant at what he does. But I was young and susceptible, and he targeted me, no

question really. He also said that he felt safe because at some point Kevin space he turned his attention to the actor Simon Baker, who he always felt was a little Don de Lee, you know, on the You Go Eat a Way that kind of guy. Remember, they tried to make him a big TV star. Simon Baker, good looking guy, but that didn't work out. Something happened along the way. But Kevin space He gets on Instagram and doesn't hold back an inch and he tells, guy Pierce,

you need to grow up. You're not a victim. We worked together a long time ago. If I did something then to a sad you, you could have reached out to me. But here you are on a mission twenty eight years later, after I've been through helen back to do what just in time to stop the bad guy? What took you so long? He actually made a joke and so what did your horse run out of gas?

He uh, Kevin Spacey does not give a shit, and he said that Guy Pierce actually broke down and sobbed when he hearst Ford first heard about the allegations against Spacey back in twenty seventeen, and then he said, I think it dawned on me the impact that had occurred, and how I sort of brushed it off, and how I had either shelled it or blocked it out of whatever.

That was really an incredible wake up call. You know, do you understand how many actors or pussies who the hell breaks down and cries because the guy you work with, and maybe it was more to it than that turns out to be somebody that really goes after people harasses them. Said, truly, you break down and sob if you're a real man, you go, holy shit, I'm not punch that fucking guy in a face next time I see him. But no, I break down and right. Can't take these people acting

this way. And I'm not trying to be like a big Kevin Spacey fan. I always told you he's not gonna do jail time. I said it way up front. This guy's never gonna go away. The people that the stuff that people had on him just it didn't stick. Although I know from people close to me exactly how he is when it comes to trying to get some guy. He goes after them hard. But I don't understand these people.

They never heard about a punch in a face. Just take the guy by the throat and head butt him and say, not me, don't let me get to What is it with these guys who break down and cry. The only man I've read about the last couple of days is Vincent gallow Not many you people know Vincent Gallop. He made Buffalo, What's the Buffalo? Sixty six? Great great movie?

Sixty six sounds wrong, you know what I mean? Vincent Gallup Brown Bunny and that great movie because he's from Buffalo and he suffered so much from the Buffalo Bill's losing his Super Bowl to the New York Giants, and he made this movie about him being in Buffalo and actually running into the field goal kicker who blew the kick and lost the Super Bowl, and Buffalo sixty six. Tremendous movie came out like, I don't know, nineteen ninety eight or so, I went to the premiere, hung out

with Vincent Gallo. I know him from New York. He's crazy. He's so upfront. He doesn't suffer fools at all. He would go to modeling shoots while these beautiful women were in the street being photographed by great photographers and he'd say, you're not that tall. You got heels on. Those aren't your real tits, that's not your you know. He just would torment people. He's an acquired taste. But I love

his movies. So now he's going to be in a movie called The Policeman, Okay, And there's a lot of problems with this movie because he's playing a specific character. He's playing the Golden State killer, Joseph James DeAngelo a serial murderer and a rapist who terrorized California back in the seventies. Finally got him in twenty eighteen. But you know, he's interviewing actresses to be opposite him, and he's telling he's getting in trouble. But he's telling them quote, I mean,

hold the kid's ears. He's telling these actresses for certain scenes, if I say to suck my dick, or I will kill you. I want you, you the person, not you the character, not you the actor, but you to truly believe you will die if you don't do as I say, and just like you would in real life, if this were happening to you, I would want you to do all of the actions necessary to do that. You will actually suck my dad. But you do not have the power. I have all the power. You have no control. I'm

in complete control. And then he told another shiit, I may ask you to do what I just said on screen, and I want an actress who is not going to be put up or put up a fight about that. You're gonna be offended by what I ask you. I don't want any of your personal feminist values. You want to do this, you don't think it's fair. But you know what, the victim didn't have a choice when it came to the killer, and neither will you as the actress. Of course, you can't actually have, you know, give me

head on screen. But the point is that I want someone who will not stop production to call their agent or complain because they're offended. I gotta tell you, I like the way that sounds. I know it sounds very harsh, but he's just letting them know this is the way the movie's gonna get done. If you're down with it, let's go. But if you're gonna be oh, I gotta quote my manager, I don't want you. I don't need you on set. I don't want the problems. You know,

they've been complaints. They've been complaints already. James Franco's in the movie as well for a few days, and that's a whole different story. But listen, if you ask me, when I think about this business of Hollywood and SAG after, I think they're wasting their time, they're wasting their resources on this investigation. Vincent Gallo, in my opinion, did nothing wrong. He's trying to get an honest, raw emotional reaction from

these actresses. I know he's just an actor on a film, but listen, every great director does the exact same thing, but they do it through manipulation. Vincent Gallo was very direct and honest and actually gave away for free what acting teachers charged thousands of dollars for. So I don't see anything wrong with the questions he asked or what he said to them. You know, it's the role he's playing, and honestly, it sounds it's like he wanted the women to know what they would have to expect if they

got the role. There's no reason for an investigation. I don't think he did anything wrong. The guy has lived his life like an artist for so long. Hasn't changed one bit since the late eighties since I've met him. It's the industry that's changed for the worse. Vincent Gallo is still a beautiful artist, just holding tight to what he believes in the most, not like Blake Lively or Ryan Fuckett. I have a phone company, Reynolds. No, they're

just different people. They're not artists. The more I talk, the more I get upset. Anyhow, that's different today, guy, okay, gang, I'm aj Benzon. That was your daily Unfiltered podcast for February is twenty twenty five. Talk to Ease Tomorrow
