Radio Radio

going to take. Numbers are going to mean something in one of the stories I'm going to talk to you about in this show, but obviously before we go anywhere, when you talk about what my last day and a half has been with the little the Great Tutsi at my side. Tutsi came here yesterday afternoon Andrew had dropped her off. I got a bunch of treats for her, toys and balls and you name it. It's like there's like nine things she plays with. Two tennis balls, one small,

ones big, a balloon. I bought balloons for her. I got all these squeaky toys, you name it. Great night. And by the way, I couldn't see her last week because she had her period. In fact, all three of them did TUTSI, Giznel, and Andrea. They're all synced up. Now. Imagine walking into the house. Oh my god, Actually I would like to do that. But either way, she was spotting too much, so we pulled it off for a week.

So now she's still spotting. It looks like I may have taken a version version a virgin hooker up to my room. There's a few spots, you know, on the bed. We're not going to get too into it, but yeah, it happens. I mean, I gotta tell you, guys, I'm having this room. The internet is not the best here in this room. Matter of fact, today Me, Mike, and Arena were taping relationships as a bitch and we had to stop. I got thrown off a couple of times. We all did. And it looks like it's because of

where I'm at. I don't get it. I've been to this hotel many times, you know, the Sun Coast Hotel. It's a big joint. I'm not really sure why there was issues, but there were, and there might be more so stay tuned this morning. Ten to five. You know, I forgot what it's like. It's been a while to have Totsye in my bed and whenever you get and look. We planned to go to sleep early last night, nine thirty, were under the covers. I took my gummy. I was ready to go out. You know, I actually was reading

a book. I'm reading The Alchemist. I love Paul Coylo. Great story, great book, and fading away. I fall asleep. Ten to five. Who's scratching my arm? Tootsie wants to go outside and do peepee? Okay, let's go. Sneakers, socks, shirt, the whole cause I sleep just an underwear. Well. Another thing that they air conditioning here, took a whole day to get the room down to the temperature. I like

either way, go upstairs, does some peepee? Okay? Great? Backup stairs? Well, backup, says at five ten, six forty five, she's behind the couch, scratching at the bag of treats I bought her. Okay, give retreats for fifteen minutes. Let's go to sleep. Eaes eight o'clock. Now, I know I'm not going to sleep, but I just want to lay down she wants to go outside again. And by the way, yesterday, when Andrea had dropped her off, I said, did she go bathroom? Yes,

she went. She went this morning, peepy and duty great. As soon as we got into the casino and she walked up the I don't know twelve steps right next to this nice restaurant called ninety. She just begins to take a big steaming shit at the top of the steps while there's like seven or eight people online at this restaurant. And I quickly use the plastic bag Andrew gave me to get rid of it. But I mean, I forget what it's like sometimes run around with this

little varmint or I love so much. She's a little stinky, you know what I mean, a little stinky. But that makes me want to kiss her more? Is that only me? Don't you love when they're a little stinky, Like when they come back from the hairdresser, hairdresser, when they come back from the groomer. They're fun, they're so gorgeous, they're so happy, there's a light and they look so sweet. But when they're a little grungy and filthy, I like it. It's a different smell in the bed. It's a little

kink I got. What can I tell you? Speaking of kings? Oh my god, the world might spin off its axis because millions of teenage girls and their moms are over the moon. Because Taylor's Swift has announced that she ian Travis Kelcey are in fact engaged. There was a picture with the ring. I'm not gonna get into reading all the articles. I'm not gonna do it because I've read enough about these two. I wish to them love life, happiness, mazo chin chin asluchendon, which means a hundred years in

Italian gendan, one hundred years. It's a nice little toast, all right. So they're engaged. Good. Not a huge ring, by the way, not that I'm saying there's anything wrong. It's a beautiful ring, very tasteful, very pretty. I don't know the cut and the clarity and the carrots. Remember that shit when you were buying your girl of ring the three seas or four seas cut, clarity, carrot, and there's something else I don't want to know. Don't google

me because I'll find it, or don't text me. But the point is this, they're making a statement, all right. The jewelry was designed by Kindred Lubeck. He's worked with Travis to design the Sparkler. As they put it, Look, these two kids started a couple of years ago, right, and let me tell you this is a message to you guys out there who were looking for missus right rather than missus right now. There's a bunch of missus

right now is out there you can grab. Sometimes you grab a missus right now and they become misright now. That happens, so by all means, go through the missus right now. But sometimes you just know this is missus right. You gotta hang in there. You gotta do things that you normally maybe wouldn't do with other women. There's some women to make you do things that I never did that before. Not to say you're doing some elaborate crazy scheme, but just a little tweak in your game can mean everything.

Let me think about it. July, a couple of years ago, Travis Kelsey is talking about on his show how disappointed he was that he wasn't able to meet Taylor at her ear astour when it came to Kansas City, and he made a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it and sent it off. Listen. I like that approach. You gotta have balls. I mean, you're dealing with a super famous person who the whole world knows and many revere and adore. You also have a good knowledge of

the guys she's dated in the past. That's a good thing because you like to stack yourself up against all the exes. You'll see where you stand. Obviously, none of those other guys, especially that. I think this ugly bastard that she dated, Matt Heally, this has a prick. I don't know what I mean. Taylor does not have the best picker. She just doesn't. She puts herselves in situations with men that don't work out. But I mean that's youth. She's not that young anymore, so she's dumb with all that.

So now she's locked up with TK. Good for them, but no one's gonna measure up to the big bed football here or the future Hall of Fame tight end multiple super Bowl winner. This is the guy, that's the girl. They're gonna live happily ever after in many homes, one of which will be a mansion in Cleveland, Ohio. All right, Listen, every state has towns and cities that are phenomenal, and the wealthy people live there and the houses are huge, But to me, Cleveland's not the spot. However, that's what

Travis loves. That's where he's from, so whatever. But she's got the big house on the east coast, on the was a Rhode Island or some shit, or New Hampshire. She's everywhere, La. They'll live all over the world. Good for that, look at I'm happy for them. What this means, obviously, is that we may have thought we were getting to know too much about this couple, but you just wait a few months and see the hysteria that is coming.

This is the kind of hysteria that j Lo wished more than anything she could get with that affleck and they did get a lot of that. But well we're about to see what Travis and Taylor is going to be unheralded. There's never This is like Richard Burton Elizabeth Taylor type shit. This is way over the top, and actually it's Jane Mansfield, Mickey Hargitay. But time's one hundred. I don't look, there's nothing wrong with Travis Kelsey, good dude, the kind of guy you meet at the bar you

immediately like you want to hang out with him. He is a good guy. I'll buy your drinks. I mean, I know he's a good guy. You could see it. Taylor Swift. Of course she's cute. I just don't find her gorgeous. And I'm not gonna sider say I love all the songs. I don't. I love Stevie Nix Moore, Linda Ronstadt to me is a better songwriter. Cella Swift's a great writer, but I don't love so much of what she's done. But I'm not gonna knock her and

say she's shit. She's not shit. There's a reason why she's a billionaire and her tour made more money than any tour in the history of the world. She's got it. But what she's got isn't always with people like me want. But that doesn't take away from what she's accomplished. But there is some hysteria coming. I can only imagine it's probably gonna be a ten million dollar wedding. Uh maybe ten millions too low. I don't know, I don't know.

I know she's not gonna be walking around the room at the end of the night at a reception, walking around with the silk bed with the Italians called a busta, which is the silk bed you carry around when you go table to table at your reception and see all your rotors and friends who came, and they give you

a check for attending the wedding. You take those checks in the silk bed, you lay them on your bed before you fly the next morning on your honeymoon, and you tell your mother in law, your mother, here's what so and so gave me. You give a whole list, and then your mother, oh mother in law will tell you, okay, well they gave you this much, You got to give them this much when they get married. It's a whole

mathematical situation, at least with Italians anyhow. But Taylor Swift is not going to be walking around with a busta, and no one's coming to the wedding to give them a check. So they should have a ball. There's no excuse to not enjoy the food and the cocktail hour, maybe even a vnes hour, which I think is not done anymore. I don't know. A flaming vnes hour was the best. Oh my god, So the first time I've had dramboui my father, of course, cart comes over what

have we got that? Let's cookies, there's this, this canoli, there's all this shit. Hey, j you would taste Trambowie. I'm thirteen years old. Oh yeah, dad, I had a bottle last week. Of course, I never taste Trambowie. Coming ship with your follow This is Trambowie. It's it's a liqueur, it's a little strong. Just take a little sip on your dad, I've tasted your scotch. Well, do the same thing. Touch a tea. I mean, teaching me how to drink certain liquor didn't happen every day. But the point is

such a different world. Water break, and by the way, I value all that I've done. I do it to Roko. We'll go to dinner and all of something you know a few years ago. Heah, take a sip. What's that? It's a gena tonic. Oh, I've had gin. You've had gin? Yeah, I had a party. I don't really like Okay, the wooden sipping. I liked it. I mean, look, kids are tempted. I understand every Friday and Saturday night is when shit goes down. I don't like jen. Oh okay, sorry, what

do you voka? Men? I hope it skips a generation with Rocco, because I know my father and I drank, and I hope Rocco doesn't. I think he won't. Not that again, what the fuck goes? I mean, I saw my father do stupid shit when he drank, and now Roco's seen me do stupid ship when I drank. It didn't stop me from becoming a drinker. I hope, I hope Brocco doesn't go that way. We'll have to wait

and see. But speaking of weddings, I completely blanked on this story that occurred in my life about fourteen fifteen years ago. Ready, So my wife's friend, best friend, whose family came from South America and came here very poor. They legally opened up a food joint in a strip mall. But don't let the term strip mall fool you. Many great spots to eat in Los Angeles are found in

strip moles. You wouldn't believe it, but they are. Asked Anthony Bourdain, he always said that, So this girl, Karen, her parents had this small joint that served tacos, fahitas, burritos, all that delicious stuff. Very simple, hardworking folks. And it

helps that this Karen is gorgeous. Anyhow, she eventually meets this guy who comes in for a taco and they bing boom, they see each other and there's bells and they know this is It turns out this guy is the son of a billionaire in Los Angeles, a guy named Gary Winnick. AJ. Who's Gary Winnick? Never heard of him? Okay? Gary Winnick's first job in financial services he was a bond salesman at Drexel Burnham Lambert way back in the seventies.

He joined the staff of Remember Michael milk and the guy that went to jail with this high yield bond operation in California. Gary Winnick learned from Michael Milkott. So fast forward twenty years later, nineteen ninety eight, Gary Winnick founded a company called Global Crossing, which was a global fiber optic network company which by nineteen ninety nine, one year later, was valued at twenty billion dollars. It took high speed internet to the rest of the world. Okay.

The company owned and managed a bunch of fiber optics in more than fifty countries and connected over seventy countries in America, Europe, you know, South America Asia. In twenty oh two, they filed for bankruptcy. There were allegations of all this kind of fraud and irregularities which happens in this business. But Gary Winnick wasn't charged settle a lawsuit fifty five million dollars out of his pocket without admitting guilt.

So as his wealth grew, he was able to offer shares of his company to friends and associates, all of whom dentist, housekeeper, nanny mechanic all became millionaires overnight, almost overnight. In fact, at the height of his career, there's not one American businessman that made his millions faster than Gary Winnick, not Henry Ford, not Carnegie, not Mellon Rockefeller, nobody. So his son and my wife's best girlfriend get hitched. Now I've said this before. The Bachelor of parties in Las

Vegas for three nights. I'm like, what is this horseshit? Three nights? Okay, go, I'll stay with the kids. Then there's a rehearsal dinner at Morton Steakhouse. He rented the place out, which costs a pretty penny. Everybody got to havanas a cigar from Havana, Cuba. Wonderful dinner. Did the rehearsal. Then comes the wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Fifty thousand roses. You have no idea. People playing harps outside

the lobster, shrimp, steak, prime rip. The best I've never seen this, and it was inside the Beverly Hills Hotel and outside the Beverly Hills Hotel. Just reridiculous display of wealth. And this is after his lawyer said to him, after this whole fifty five million dollar things, he got a Laylo. For a while, Laylow I was lighting up LA on both ends. Anyhow, after the wedding, we go back to his mansion in bel Air, and I mean this fucking

house overlooking a golf court. It's one of the I think it was the most expensive property for a time at LA. Oh. It was insane. But that's a wedding. But here's what happened. My wife have to remind me this. The other day we're at the Beverlyos Hotel and she's gonna go back to her room. We had a room there for one night, trant to freshen up. And she's pregnant with Rocco. I shouldn't say kids only roxy Rocco was in her belly, and Lola always carried her weight

and just her stomach in front, not her ass. Nowhere else kits and belly, that's it. She's walking through the lobby and Puffy Combs Pee Diddy sees her and freaks out, wants to do her name, grabbing her hand. Where are you going? Where you're staying? What are you here for? And she's like, I'm at a wedding. Is if my friend got married? And he says to his buddy, find out who she is, where she's staying, She's got to come with us. And the other day she told me

what I forgot this? She goes, yeah, he was all over me. He was telling this guy to follow me to my room. It was uncomfortable, but I wasn't scared. And she ended up saying I came down and told you, but you didn't care. I don't know why I didn't care. I guess the marriage is over at that point in my head. Who knows? But black guys like my wife, what can I tell you? And uh yeah, Pete Diddy, crazy shit, Wow, we're way of course From Travis Kelsey

and the great Tailor swept. But let me move forward, because I think I woke up to some of the greatest news I've been waiting to hear for years. I didn't even thought i'd even hear this. Have you seen how the Democrats have now concocted a new strategy for twenty twenty eight. It's not just Gavin News. I'm trying to be like Trump and be tough, and it's it's so lame how he's being. It's such an asshole. But here's the new policy memo that made the rounds. Are

you ready for this? An online left leading think tank? First of all, think tank? Throw them all away. They're so full of shit. This company is called Third Way, and they told the Democrat Party you need to scrap a bunch of words and phrases you've been using for the last four or five six years that are not good for you. Unfortunately, the number of words third Way suggested they scrap our forty four words. So of course I have to talk about this story. They told the Dems.

Don't say privilege or cultural appropriation, or don't say the unhoused or birthing person or Latin X or justice involved. Really unbelievable. Most of us knew these words and phrases were a blight on our society and shouldn't ever have been utilized. But what the fuck do we know? Which is dumb? Conservatives Democrats are a little late, a little late that they just found out. Everyday Americans are turned off by this academic bullshit that's been coming out of

politicians' assholes for the last six seven years. But here's the great irony. These idiots spent years policing everyone else's speech to enforce the standards of their wokeness, and now they're policing each other to sound less woke. They have to do that because they're losing support. They're hemorrhaging support. You talk about the peddulum swinging back the other way. My god, it's swinging back, but it's also knocking them

all on their head. But the memo, which I love to have, this memo and frame it breaks down these alienating terms or this language into six different categories. Okay, the first is called therapy speak, and third way says to these assholes, the words like triggering, safe space, holding space, body shaming, and centering are condescending and it makes voters feel like, you know, we're better than them. Also, seminar room language. It suggests that, hey, I'm smarter, I'm more

concerned about important issues than you are. It's really they really went down and found out exactly what they've been doing wrong. I don't know why it took them so long. You know, don't use you know, the terms that communicate that message include subverting norms, systems of oppression, critical theory, and I don't know what this is overton window, never heard of that. But guys, this is the very language that shows you that the Democrats are just out to

always sound and look better by any means necessary. And this is the new fight they think they have to have to become better in the eyes of voters. It's too little, too late. I mean, when you have proof that a third party is who they're paying, is telling them, don't say things, you know, get rid of terms that suggests that someone is beholden to groups not individuals. People have no agency, you know, they food, insecurity, housing, insecurity,

person who immigrated. The moves they made to make these words or phrases sound less, I don't know less what offensive. No, they're just words. They are what they are. I mean, how many times do we hear Kamala Harris talk shit incarcerated people okay, unhoused people, okay, unhoused. I don't even like when I go on Instagram and people don't say kill or suicide, They're gonna say unlive. I know why you saying this because they'll take it down if I

say suicide. I don't believe it. Unalived, he unlived himself. Who the fuck would go that far? Oh, I can't take it. This from the article. Third Way additionally suggests dodging any language that communicates to voters that quote. You will be called a racist if you do not use the latest in correct terminologies such as bipock alleyship and intersectionality. They want them done with the transgender bullshit. No more inseminated person, no more chest feeding or cis gender or heteronormative,

whatever the fuck that means. And again they don't want to hear lgbtqia plus the alfungle alphabet army, which I've cursed from day one. They're just getting around to it now. Never forget how late they are. Disgusting these assholes. Even Jimmy Kimmel decided to speak up. And say, well, you know, listen, it's the loud voices that scare people from saying what they believe. A lot of their points are valid, Wow, Jimmy, thank you, but a lot of them are also just

repulsive in that they repel people. They go like, quote, oh, you're no fun. I don't want to be around you. Just poor Jimmy. Poor Jimmy was a regular guy who's half Italian but acting like he's all Italian. He loves to cook for his friends. He was a great, practical joker, a wonderful friend to have. Then he married his second wife, and all the friends around him, including Adam Carolla, none of them like his new wife, none of them because

she's the most woke, progressive liberal I've ever seen. And she changed Jimmy in much the same way Marcy Turk changed Howard Stern. I'll get to toward the end of the show. But every day, people who vote, we've all been set up with this bullshit language policing, waving your finger at me if I say the wrong turn. Fuck you. It took Donald Trump winning twice to wake these idiots up, not to mention it. He's got a big, multi ethnic coalition around him, and now they're waking up because they

realized this fucking guy did it. I mean, I mean, we're like, what are they at, like thirty favorability with their own people. It's they're in such dire straits. All they're doing now is cursing. They love to go on TV and curse because they think they're gonna sound like they're gonna sound like Trump. But they can't. They can't because they're not genuine. They're all full of shit. These democrats,

these assholes are poked fun. I don't want to make this all about politics, but you know what I'm saying. I like when Trump talks very plainly and speaks like somebody around your table. We all have relatives, fathers, uncles, sons, brothers, mothers, whatever, who maybe say things out of turn around a table that might embarrass you. But when everything's done and we're all going to bed and we shut the lights off, what do we say? You know what? That's why my

mother feels, that's the way my father feels. There's nothing wrong with that. Fuck anybody who's got a problem with it. But when it happens, we gotta be careful because we don't want my mother canceled it. I'm so sick of looking both ways left right, left before we're supposed to talk.

Thank god I never did it, but it was always out there, and many of us have been walking this tightrope and really, you know, not saying we're gonna get hung or you know, stoned, but for fox sake, we put our careers on the line to just say the truth and risk getting cancer and losing everything. Look. I like when Trump says the Illinois governor Fatty Pritzker needs to get to the gym more often. I'm sorry, I like it. I love when he says Joe Biden didn't

even know he was president. He didn't know if he was alive. Okay, that's the truth. Let's tuck plainly. He's right. I love it because like all of us, especially be I know sometimes how we speak out of turn. But as bad as some things might sound, most of the time, whatever Trump says, he's absolutely right. It's just that most Americans have never experienced full blown honesty and common sense being directed right to their faces. Here's a guy who's

seventy nine years old, he's a bill. There doesn't need this horse shit. Five kids, eleven, grandkids. He's out there every day trying to make peace around the world, and some of you assholes out there. One of the wives, and it done quicker, he says, it's gonna take a day. Calm fuck down. No one's working harder. I defy you to find somebody in this country who's working harder at their job. Enough Trump love, But listen, people, man, just

talk like real human beings. These whack jobs on the left, they sanitize the language so much that you know, people just didn't feel like they're being spoken to in a normal manner. I only hope that Democrats will have the bulls to stand up to the woke whack jobs and their own party. Maybe such a resounding defeat and their bullshit poll numbers will be a wake up call. But so far the party has succumbed to fear of the mob and they allow the squeakiest wheels to seize control.

And that ends. We're done with this cancerous I call it vocabulary. Vocabulary. So it's actually amazing that George Orwell, who wrote nineteen eighty four, saw this. He foresaw these idiots seventy five years ago. Unbelievable. Sorry, the toothpaste is out of the tube. It's not going to go back in Democrats, forget it. But inventing a whole new language is just so stupid, and I'm glad they're suffering now.

I'm glad. I mean, you've got a guy running for mayor in New York who wants to decriminalized prostitution, get rid of police, have city run grocery stores, and all sorts of other insane ideas of a socialist playbook. Yeah, I'm not lying when I say that if he ran four years ago and won, and he might win, and I'm not if he does, I'm not gonna be upset because New York City needs to be reprimanded and shown. Look how fucking stupid you've got. You fell for this asshole.

But I'm telling you, if this guy was here years ago, during the whole vocabulary bullshit, they would call shoplifters shoppers without money just not to offend shoplift. They would call drug dealers, unlicensed pharmacists. Anything they can do to make these people sound like they're a good soul, they're not. Democrats are like people who buy sneakers of three hundred bucks but can't shoot a layup no substance, there's nothing there. All they care about is how they sound and look

to the person next to them. They got no ideas, no solutions. Have you heard any every day it's how bad Trump is. Not one of them is saying what they're going to do better, not one of them. You see him at these rallies and these street interviews, and most of the time most of the people out there are picketing or protesting. Are you know? Mark Zuckerberg, George Soros and Bill Gates all keep pumping millions into this bullshit, this bullshit director that all these people could protest and

get paid to professional protesters. They make between twenty and seventy bucks an hour. It's gross, but it's coming to an end. And I love the fact that they all said, maybe we should go back and take out these forty four words. Why is it forty four? Do you understand what that means? I mean, think about it, guys. Come on, I flew around fight on flight one four four one. The Democrats are getting rid of forty four words. It's

always in my head, it's always out there. Let's finish the show and talk about Howard Stern apparently there's some stories going around for the last couple of weeks, for the last couple of days. The story is now that Howard Stern and his staffers are trying to put a positive spin on what's happening with his contract being up at Serious XM. And the story is they don't want to move forward with Howard anymore. We've heard that, we've

read it. No one's gotten a quote from Serious XM or from Howard, but many of us seem to feel like we know what's gonna happen. I'm actually alarmed that so many newspapers and websites printed Serious cancels Howard's Stern. Just think about that sentence. His contract's not even up yet. There's been no communication between Serious and the reporters, or Howard and the reporters, and yet they run a story and just fly out say Serious is canceling Howard Stern show.

That's not journalism, that's writing on a fucking bathroom stall. It's really wrong. But you know, it gets us all caught up in the conversation. Now they're saying what we've been reading is all a hoax, that his team, Howard's team was behind these rumors about his job in jeopardy, and they put it out there in a desperate hoax attempt to make Serious realize they can't let him go. They're trying to make it all go viral, and they did. They want them to return. They want to keep making money.

There's a lot of people in Serious who depend on Howard's started being there, but his numbers are down so low and they just don't know what to do. They the word is they can't afford to pay him another one hundred million dollars a year for another five year contract, which is what he's coming off of. I actually sent him an email last week. If you send anything substantial, I tell you. But I say, hey, Howard, I hate

to see all these stories. I hope you're okay, but just a quick, little fucking, you know, four or five sentence email, man, I hope you're okay and miss hanging out best days of my life. And he just run back, thanks, man, We're hanging in there. That's it. Howard doesn't really say much, but at least he wrote back, I wasn't looking for a quote, just wanted to extend my sympathy or whatever.

The fuck. Now they're saying that Serious plan to make him an offer, but they don't intend for him to take it, so it's going to be lower than one hundred mil. And a lot of people say they're never going to meet on the money because it's it's too disparaging. He's no longer worth that investment. However, I don't listen to his show, but the word Howard's started in Serious except go Together? What happens when he's gone? What happens to that company? I know there's many other people who've

broadcast on Serious. I know that obviously he's the biggest guy. Whether you like his show or not, he's the king pin, you know. Jimmy Kimmel called him, Howard's acting like he hasn't read a thing, has no idea what people are talking about. I mean, come on, that's not true. Howard knows everything that's written about him, and then some he loves his own gossip. I used to give it to him. I would tell him what he's seeing, what girls he banged. How do you know that? How do you know? I said,

how everybody talks to me. I'm wide everywhere. I know about Robin Gibbons and you have a heart. Carrie Stevens how do you. Oh my god, I said, I protect you. I went a long way. I listened to Howard before he was usually popular, and then even right before he caught Trump derangement syndrome. But now you know, we all talk about it, friends with the late night hosts, vacationing together,

wearing the same shirts. They've all, it seems to me brainwashed him, along with Marcy Turk, who introduced a book to Howard I think it's called Getting Things Done that really changed his way and made him drop his past and have a different, completely different future that didn't include so many people who helped him get to the tippy top of the mountain. He was very, very funny with Jackie or Artie or me in the seat. But did he move with the times. Not really. He would always

mock the dinosaurs who didn't move with technology. Remember that. Then when podcasting became a thing, he didn't understand it and he made fun of it. He ridly iciled it. Now podcasting is huge and serious. Exam is there his ass. It's on his ass. It's on his ass because the benefit. One of the benefits of podcasting is you can listen whenever you want. I know Howard. He's too smart, and I mean he's smart. I mean smart. He sees the

writing on the wall. And when this guy had Kamala Harrison before the election, no one was talking about it. When Trump was on Rogan or Vamps was on THEO one, it was huge news. Nobody cared that Kamala was talking to Howard. That killed him. Howard should listen to his favorite audio clip from the movie First Blood with Stallone. They always play it and it's just a quick line. It's over, Johnny over, It's over. Howard. You were tremendous. You could probably do two or three more years, but

at what cost. I don't want to hear about Sal's love life anymore. Ronnie Limore Driver get in the head. It's not funny, stupid. And you guys, some of you guys want me to talk about stuttering John and this lawsuit he's got serting a couple of guys from the old Howard s. Durn Show. I don't care John stuttering. John just wants press. No one's talking about him. His podcasting shit. He goes to different cities and tries to be a stand up comic. He's awful at that. No

one respects him. Nothing he says is interesting or important or vital. Nothing. So please, when you ask me to comment on John's lawsuit, who gives a shit. He's been an invisible, unimportant jerk of for years, so it's not a story to me. It's not gonna go anywhere. And today Opie remember Opie, Oh my god, Opie and Anthony show. Opie's huge, Well he was huge. Now he's out there, I think in Malibu, and he made this big announcement today.

He said, I got the real tea about how it is serious, So he said, how it sturns getting another September contract. On September second, he's going to announce that he's back on serious. He's not going anywhere. I don't know if I believe that, but this is what Opie says. He's also on serious. He's gonna get whatever he wants again, and Sirius has to suck it up. I don't believe that.

I'm actually convinced that nobody knows anything. I'm the only person to say this, not Opie, not any newspaper website. I'm telling you until how It's Darning comes back on September second and makes a comment then we'll all know. Now, I personally think that as long as Robin Quivers is healthy and not sick again, which is what I heard, then I think he will not simply walk off into the sunset. Howard loves money and he loves what he does,

and idle time for Howard would be awful. And while Sirious might not be able to offer him another gigantic, one hundred million dollars per year for five year contract, they're going to come up with something that's beneficial to both parties. That's what I believe. We'll find out soon enough. In about a week, we'll hear from Howard. So again, if Robin is sick, god forbid, he's done, he'll walk away.

If she's not, he will take a contract from Serious that's not nearly at the level it was when they first signed him, but it will be an awful lot of money for folks like you and me, And you'll continue to do this for another two years, and then he will hang it up and think about some other venture. And I think he could be the next Charlie Rose or you know, Larry King. He's phenomenal with talking to people. He knows everybody now celebrities aren't scared to talk to him.

They understand he's a He's a friend now, not a foe. It could be a huge show if he decides to do it. All these guys like Letterman and they don't want to hang it up. Jay Lenos does shows about car garages, you know. Let Himan's out there and sein Fell's out there in cars getting coffee. Let Himan's doing interviews long form. They all like what they do because

they're great at it, and how it's great. As fucked up as his show became, and as lame as he got, he's still phenomenal at what he does and what he did. It's unfathomable to think about somebody keeping the country laughing for over thirty five years. So back up a little bit, Wait a few days. I say he takes a certain amount of money and does a few more years before he walks off into the sunset. But if Robin is sick, or if they don't tell you that, and Howard says,

I'm gone, it might be because she's sick. We'll have to find out. But that's what I think. And before I leave, let me just say this, I missed a Buddy's birthday the other day, Philip Crop, August twenty fifth, I forgot to say happy birthday. I'm not going to forget to say happy birthday through the great Catherine Stewart, who doesn't look at day over seventy said, I'm kidding. She's not nearly that old. She's a wonderful person. Anybody who knows her, she's the grand dame of this podcast.

She's a wonderful woman. Energetic, funny, loving, ultra generous, smart as a whip, tough as nails, beautiful, And I'll tell you what. I have him into Texas. I not visited a ranch, but I will at one point put on some boots and go see her and see what the TEXTA Decide of Life brings to me. Have a nice steak. Maybe I'll get a big belt buckle. I don't know. I always played Indians when I was a kid. Now I want to play a cowboy. I'm sure Katherine and

his husband John can help me figure it out. All right, gang, that's it for today. Aj Benza signing off. That was your podcast for August twenty seven, twenty five. Touch he's here, but she's sleeping. Guys, by the sliding glass door, getting little vitamin D. We'll talk again tomorrow
