Fame. He'd liked to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. Is the guy put the cock in the peacock network? Okay, bitch, hey, everybody, aj Benzi here with fame as a bitch. This is your free show for January twenty ninth, twenty twenty four. Jesus, it's twenty ninth at January. What are you getting for Valentine's Any plans for the little lady or the big guy he got going on? I think I'll be back in Vegas to do another seven shows with poker,
high stakes poker. But make those plans if you love them. Don't forget your big Valentine's Day meal, get your flowers when they chat them up fifty bucks for a dozen, retake your money. It isn't an sim what day do to people, it really is. I deal with it. They're on a Christmas time. What they do to Italians for seafood. You know, they know we Sevan dishes of seafood Christmas Eves and they jack up crabs and lobster and shrimp and muscles and clams. It's a joke. So they think
a balance at chocolate flowers everything's more expensive. Such horseshit not a fair world. By the way, I don't treat you to something that I meant to do on the Patreon show, and I didn't do it right, and I'm pissed off because I was telling him the listeners, I'm gonna play something for you on my phone and it didn't work right. And it was at the very end of my taping the Sharks. I'm not gonna go back and take the whole forty minute show, so I'll probably do it for you guys.
It's a portion of Corolin O'Brien's podcast called Colin O'Brien Needs a Friend, and he's reading an ad for bid Days and it is hysterical. I love his podcast, by the way, such a fan of his podcast, And he said, treasure, he's such a funny guy. We just if you don't realize Coroninalmbrian's that funny. He's one of the funniest human beings we've ever had in this country. If you think about Harvard Lampoon, The Simpsons, SNL is his late night talk show. Jesus Christ, what a pedigree anyhow?
Is an ad he has for a big Days that in the middle of it, or at the very beginning, he goes bananas and can't believe he's reading this kind of ad to his listeners. And I know exactly what I felt like having read ads when my show was, you know, not full of ads. But I used to go three or four ads per show when we first started. And then I was like, you know, like, some of these companies don't like the way I'm reading ads. They don't like the
content of my show. Me being very on the right and being a straight male, white male having certain opinions loving Trump. It wasn't exactly what advertisers liked. And I said, well, I'm not going to fucking change, so let's go Patreon. That's why you don't hear me reading ads anymore. But when I did read it, I only read ads of businesses that I like doing business with products I used, and I never lied. But I know exactly what Colin Fields like, so I'll play that few at some point
during the show. Consider yourself lucky. This was going to be for patrons only, but consider it an early Valentine's gift. Anyhow, Gang, I hope your football games went well. I don't know what the score is and in the game because it's actually Saturday evening at this point, I haven't seen a game yet, obviously, I know it's my New York Knicks beat the Miami Heat by about eighteen points. A couple of lines ago. They beat the Denver Nuggets by a ton. That means the Knicks beat the two teams
that met in the finals last year decisively. If the Knicks don't get to the Eastern Conference Championship this season, I'll be disappointed. That's how good they're playing. As far as the football games go, I'm taping this on Saturday afternoon. I like the Chiefs plus four and a half and I like the Detroit Lions against the San Francisco forty nine years I like it. Well.
I do like Baltimore, but getting I'm taking the Chiefs plus four and a half, which means they can lose and Baltimore could still be in the super Bowl. I'm looking for Baltimore Detroit super Bowl. Two tough scrappy towns. See if it works out. Hey, were we all wrong about the crazy Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman. I gotta say I am now a fan of this guy. I actually want this guy on my on my side of shit goes sideways. You got friends like that. I got a high school buddy.
I had several high school buddies who are like that, but one buddy, Tony Botch. We call him tough Tony. We're still buddies now. I'm sixty one, he's sixty. He still lives back in the old neighborhood, married to high school street art. That kind of thing ex cop back when cops could lean on a guy to make sure their confessions came pretty quickly from even the most evil and stubborn shitheads out there on the streets. No body
cameras that kind of stuff. Either way. There was this one summer where one of the guys we hung out with named Bob Passio got beat up pretty badly by a group of guys we all went to school with together. He was at a house party without us on a rare night that we weren't all together, and he got a stone cold beating from one of our friend's tough guys older brother. And the story was he was jumped and hitting the face with a wrench. We all went to see Bob Passier in the hospital with
his jaw wired shut. It was there that we told him we'd be there for him to get revenge, and all the guys that he felt were on the other side. And let me tell you something, there was still a sore point among all of us who went to that same high school over forty year years later. This happened this summer of nineteen seventy nine. Okay, it's still a very sourt I mean, we're friends, but if it comes up as it did about three years ago, their side says one thing,
our side says another, and it's just not worth it. But Bob Passio got out of the hospital and went about getting his retribution, still with his jaw wired, and he got a few guys one by one that one revenge summer. He was a one man wrecking crew. And one night we were at a party without him. All the kid's house who lived up six seven houses from mine named Georgie Schmidt, and those guys seem to have an allegiance
to the guys who fought past you. So we go there and I'm with that Gavino, my friend Marv Kenny Wood, tough Tony, Mike Gallagher, and we see, holy shit, some of those guys are at the party. Do we get some revenge, sa Passio, big mount that I was, I went for it. I jumped on one of the kids who I felt I could handle. Tony and Mike were both actually you saw were Kenny and Mike. They were all football players. I was, and I played
soccer and basketball. And at some point the tables were turned on me, and for a few moments this one kid had me down on the ground and it would have gotten messy for me. Who knows. Suddenly the lights go out in the house in the backyard, no music anymore, no spot like nothing, and we all run out of the backyard, get into our cars and drove off. And what happened is tough Tony punched the electrical box off the kid's house and that caused a complete blackout. He was that kind of
friend. He is that kind of friend. And now I think John Fetterman is that kind of guy who could have ran with us. The other night, some anti Israel demonstrators gathered outside his home and brought at Pennsylvania you and began to protest and make threats. Those pussies who think Palestinians are in the right and Hamas, I just can't understand it. Half of them are just
not educated. Then the half been educated in the doctrine and by bullshit professors at bullshit colleges who just want to believe that Israel can't defend himself and Palestinian can keep doing what they do. Treven ain't like that. He's not about that shit. He responded to the noise outside of his house by going to his roof and waving an Israeli flag at them, like King Kong up there in the Empire State Building. He's a Democrat. He hates progressives. That's
enough for me. I didn't say a word. He waved that blue and white Israel flag as protesters waved Palestinian flags, and said, and fetter me, and you can't hid guess that boy ain't can anything. This guy used to be the darling of the progressives. Remember they were telling us how he is when he was wearing well, he's back to wearing hoodies. He looks like Bill Belichick. He's back to dressing my shit. But at least he
doesn't have the symptoms he had with that stroke. Now he's making some sense, and he's responded by publicly trolling these people who were after him, especially the bunch of people who think the Hamas terrorists are you know, hey, they gotta do what they gotta do. His office is covered with posters of missing children and return to Israel hostages. He wants to describe himself as a progressive. He says the movement has abandoned its principles. He said, increasingly
progressive move and migrated into some positions that I don't agree with. And I really don't feel much more comfortable just being a democrat. He feels more comfortable just being a democrat. I can't believe him saying this, But this country needs men of sound mind like him, Guys who have the balls to say right is right and right makes right. Guys like Fetterman, Guys like Tony Botch. Time will tell. But he seems to be an old fashioned democrat,
the kind of guy that didn't regard working people with contempt. I never thought I could love John Fetterman more than when he played Uncle Fester on The Adams Family, But now I do. Oh boy, do I ever excuse me for speaking so ill of him in the past, changing subjects that he still can't take all the talk about Barbie getting stubbed at the Oscars for no Best Actress nomination, no Best Picture, no Best Director for Greta Gerwig. Look, I saw the movie about one and a half times. It has
layers to it. I get it. It was done differently than many of the movies we've seen. I admit that it's too pink for me to be honest with you, but I understand what they were trying to do. It's a different kind of undertaking than a regular type movie. But it was an unserious movie. The Barbie Army has to stop crying. There's so many entertaining movies that didn't get so much as even a nomination, and Barbie got eight.
So shut up. Terminator was a huge film, didn't get much, didn't win an Oscar, The Expendables, a lot of fun, Rambo, Top Gun Mission impossible. Come on, There have been many, so many male characters and movies that never were considered. Think of all the the Steve Martin movies. He's never considered for Best Actor in the comedies that we've all loved over the years. Why not so many characters were never considered? What the hell is the big deal that Marco Robbie wasn't And you know, Ryan
Gosling and I don't know if you know. Guys know this, but you submit your own nomination for Emmys and Grammys and Oscars. Do you know that? That means the actors or the recording artists and their team of agents and managers get together and submit the work they think should be nominated for Oscars, Emmy's, Grammys, blah blah blah. So they have a big meeting. Now. Margot Robbie was in the movie way too much to be considered a
supporting actress. She was the lead, but there were many great lead actresses who made serious movies. He probably wasn't gonna win, so don't even nominate her. Ryan Gosling, though his team probably said, you know what, even though you were you know, you were the male lead, you probably be better off if we enter this thing as a supporting actor. You know you might win there. And that's what they did. All of these people think they didn't know what was happening. I was very very confused. Yeah,
it really I felt snubbed. You knew exactly what you were doing. You all do. In fact, you sit there and watch over your movies and the scenes of your TV shows, and you pick and choose this episode. I really did great work. I think we should nominate this for an Emmy's. Don't ever let them make you think it's all big shock and surprise. They know they've entered their names, so you know months later when their names are revealed in the morning. And how did you feel when you got
that shock that you were nominated? Oh I couldn't be Yes, you could believe it. You put yourself in the ring. This movie, Bobby was entertaining for many young girls and their mothers and their dads who didn't think it was worth arguing over. Okay, but let's knock it off. It was no Shinder's list. It's still up for eight oscars. Bring it down in ounch, ladies, I mean. Bill Maher made a remark on his show the other night on Real Time explaining to pussy liberals like Seth McFarlane and Adam
Schiff why the movie hit some wrong notes. The movie acted like the complete board of Mattel had twelve men on board. No, it's seven men and five women. That's what I have right now, So stop acting like it's still a big patriarchy. It's not. But of course the movie had to show that there's so many men in Mattel who why's it gonna change? Or he did. Then there's a part in the movie that the weber Bill took
some female guests. He took said to him at one point, she couldn't believe this scene where a girl I don't even know I figured who said it, said like maybe it was America Ferrara. I don't know. I just can't figure out computers. Can you help me around a computer? And his date said, there's not a girl in the country that would act that way toward a man in a computer. And she's right. I was married almost twenty I was married twenty fucking years. I would sit at computers and not
know what to do, and go do me a favorite. Can you come in here and fix this. I can't get this print of the work shed say move, I'll fix it. Good, Please do it. Don't yell. I'm not yelling. I'm frustrated, but you don't have to yell. You're scary enough and you don't yell. I know, but I gotta get this payperwork done to take. Just do it, do what you do, and I'll walk away. I'll say, I'll leave the room. I'll come back. She'll have it all done. How'd you do it? Don't it?
Just ask me next time. It's easy. Men don't know what the fuck they're doing. Women. I can't figure out computers. Bullshit. That's bad writing, sorry guys. Anyhow, bud Lights back in the game speaking about idiots making bad moves. The beer brand, which knows its way around controversy, launched a new teaser the other week, well actually last week,
for what's promising to be a very humorous Super Bowl commercial. So they're trying to make it return into basics after that big old shit storm of a boycott that cost it its best selling beer title. The super Bowl is advertising its biggest moment and our goals to once again captivate our audience when the world is watching. That's what the CEO COO c COO Christ who cares is a nitwit, Kyle Northington said from Anheuser Busch. The teaser shows twelve seconds. I've
seen it. It's no big deal. It's twelve seconds of a one minute ad and it dangles a celebrity cameo. It shows only the man's thick beard, metallic sunglasses and a zipped up bud Light embroidered hoodie, and there's some onlookers with beer bottles in their hand, and they'll look at this mystery man, and one guy with a Broncos jersey says, are you? And then it cuts. So the mystery Man is a new character to the bud Light universe. That's what they said. They're so happy with this. It's a
new character to our universe. And it will be joined by other celebrities who've appeared in prior campaigns for the brand and Anheuser Busch and other platforms. That's the companies telling America. They want to emphasize that the humorous commercial will mark a big return to bud Light's iconic Super Bowl ads, which used to be great. I admit they had some levity to them. They were brushed,
they were funny, they were traditional. They gave you some chills sometimes now you see that Dylan mulvaney ugly bastard and want to punch a hole for the wall. What would have been really effective is if they ran an add of Dylan mulvaney getting kicked in the nuts by a Budweiser Clydesdale horse then having that horse take a big shit on her him should say while you lay writhing in pain. That'd be a tremendous add You can get your audience back. Paymlveny
a million dollars. He'll do it, get your audience back. They'll never do it, though. I have to say this next story makes me want to remember my my days getting the royal treatment at nightclubs and concerts and restaurants, even in hospitals. I think our baby, my first I guess my second shot was born. You know, my son was born the same We were a few days apart from Nicole Richie's kid being born. And oh, somebody else was really really famous, is it Christine Aguilera, somebody who's got
a sixteen year old? Very famous? We were all at sea the sign that hospital, all on the same floor, and I got this suite where I could stay in the other room with my daughter while mommy slept with the little boy Rocco for two nights. And I got it because they knew who I was. It wasn't like my money was better and my insurance was better. We all have the same insurance, but we got it. What the hell was it? It was fucking Kristina Lera. I can't I was definitely
Nicole Richie. I forget the other one either way. Very famous people, but I bring up the royal treatment because the world couple didn't get the world treatment recently and very getting very upset. Shit's wild you all. Megan Markl and Prince Harry hit the red carpet for the premiere of Bob Marley One Love in Jamaica a couple days back, but their seats at this event were anything
with VIP. Have you've seen the video making the rounds? First of all, the guy playing Bob Marley is a thousand times better looking than Bob Marley. Not a big bar Barley fan. Maybe two songs, the rest of them I hate and I don't like that kind of music. I don't know why people think, Hey, if on a beach, it's okay to play Bob Marley. Oh we're on a boat, We're on a cruise. Play some Bob Marley. Put some tin drums in there. I don't playing.
Watch do people assume Jamaican music Restafarian music is that we want to hear in a beach or a boat. No, it isn't give me the Gypsy kings. So Megan Markle and Prince Harry hit the Red Conference for the big premiere, and there are videos that show Megan and Harry looking very taken it back as ushers stopped at least three rows from the front to give them their seats. Oh what a burn. Harry looked to be very confused by their seating
assignment. Meghan was forced to bundle up her big black gown and squeeze into this very tight fitting spot. Everybody was mocking them for the cheap seats. After this footage was posted on X Life on the Dealist, somebody said, after watching the video then sitting in cheap seats, where was Jamaican Prime minister sitting? Another X person wrote, dressed to the knives but made to sit
among the regular folks. Should have want to button down in jeans. Okay, there are so many goons out there that like to throw rocks on one of them. They did cozy up with Jamaica's Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, who's a big anti monarchist. The move was the in sensitive because of the current health battles being waged by King Charles and Princess Kate. No one knows about her belly. Something's wrong related to COVID. We just don't know. Did you get stomach hoss like I did? Out of the blue, We
don't know. Charles are the only treatment for a large prostate that we know A Kate mysterious abdominal surgery. You know. Back in the day, Holman pushed for Jamaica to separate itself from the unat Kingdom as the nation of one of the England's Commonwealth countries. But it seems Harry Megan, honestly, it looks like they They're turning up in anything nowadays, even the opening of an envelope. But it's a big mismatch. This was a big michae from the
start. Bob Mouley was a humble guy. I mean that liked him. He's a humble guy. He sang about overcoming hardship and love. Why were Harry and Meghan even there and dressed up like it was the oscar? For God's sake? What Harry Meghan are keeping his secret is that their security detail
and their own film crew were not even included in the VIP room. It's probably the VIPs that didn't want to be seen with them and participate in whatever production they We're gonna shoot because nowadays they have gotta shoot everything they're involved in from future deals at Netflix. What's even more obvious to me and has to be obvious to them. I don't think anybody wants to Jeff and has their reputations being seen with them. The Duke and Duchess of Woke, which the
now should be called. They left the royal life so they can live in seclusion in a way from the media spotlight. But here they are for years now doing the opposite, using the media and being in the spotlight. They're not the same kind of royalty as their family. Do they think they are. They're not. They are non working royals who made a choice. They made a big decision. They have no sense of what makes them look good
or look bad. If they spend some time doing charity work, it'd be great, But no, they get overdressed and they go to film premieres and trust me, they weren't invited to Jeff Bezos's birthday party, so they have to show up somewhere. That way they can say, oh, no, Jeff, we had previous plans to go to the Marley Premier. They really miss their their royal status. They do. They can't stand each other. I can see. I know bid marriagers. These two can't stand each other,
and they deserve to stay married and miserable. But can they fake their love that much longer? I don't think they can. They're both full of resentment. They're they're both blaming it on the other one for the huge downfall. They're stuck just being regular forever. They're being schnooks, like what's his name? Says Rayley others then the good Fellas just an everyday schnook. That's
who they are. Their humiliation radar was off the charts, and they could not even hide their disbelief that they weren't top of the VIP list and had to sit down many rows behind. She had to fake being pleased with her seat I Meanwhile, she had to push it down herself. She'd wanted that Harry had some anger simmering inside of him. I know he did. Other
guests were clearly reacting to Megan being aggressively loud at him. But the way Harry walks around it, walks away from it, looks like he does this regularly because he never stops. She never stops nagging and annoying him. I watched them and I feel second in embarrassment for how overdressed she was. It's almost like Paramount Pictures knew what they were doing with them by inviting them. Here's a tip. Megan needs to give up her royal status that exists in
her head and live and think in reality. Only when these two understand what I just said, they'll stop making fools of themselves, starting with a stop wearing glamorous clothing to popcorn movies. Okay, it's a movie premiere. You don't need gowns for that, and understand that when you accept acting gigs on streaming services, one being suits you. You're a C list or D list actress. Nothing wrong with that, but you're just not a famous from that.
As a saying in Hollywood, understand plus accept, plus don't expect, equals the ability to move on Harry, or to hop on a flight to Africa and save some elephants. He'd be a lot happier there. Before I go, I can tell you, folks, what you're missing on the Fame as a Bitch Patreon, what you're missing by going to patreon dot com slash Fame as a Bitch. My inside stories and my inside take on Vince McMahon's sex assault were actually shit on a coworker's head and only paid her a million
out of the three million dollar settlement. The fact that drugs are crossing our porous southern border probably took the lies of a porn star, a fetish model, the son of the hit reality show porn stars, and a soap opera actor, and also Dana Carvey's son, all in the last several weeks.
And that's because the Mummy sitting in the White House eating chocolate chip ice cream doesn't care about the border, never mind where it comes across it, like tongues of fentanyl that are killing tens of thousands of Americans on a regular basis. And also a man in that White House who has friends in China and makes money for the communist country that is most responsible for making and packaging that drug fentanyl that eventually gets to our borders, and because of it, a
lot of kids and people are dying. But as long as they'd hunt their Biden who cares right gang with that, I'm gonna send you off. Playing this bit of Corlin O'Brien on his episode starring Natasha Leone. In this ad he does for a big dat company. I don't care if this gets me in trouble. He's a genius with this. Listen up. Peer has no business trying to battle the mess of a large holiday meal. But days, on the other hand, shoot a precise happened to me. I'm a good
guy. I went to a good college. I worked hard. I wrote a thesis in college. I wrote a thesis. I've worked hard for years. I've raised a family. I've never gone to jail. I've never committed a crow. Here I am explaining, are you gonna shoot you? Ridiculous insanity? What did I do? What am I some kind of I don't understand how this happened. I can't. I know I messed up at the beginning of that. I'm working two buttons at the same time. I'm just
not that good. I ain't an engineer in in my hotel room that lives with me. But you got the point. Go to Colin O'Brien needs a Friend. It's one of the funniest podcasts out there, and listen to last
week's episode with Natasha Leone. I go into a lot about that episode, and it brings me to a great memory I had of some terrific actors, namely Nick Cassavetti's and Peter Falk, who starred in a movie called Mikey and Nicky back in nineteen seventy six when I saw it as a fourteen year old kid, and it really made me want to study method acting and maybe have a life on the screen like I had for bits and pieces here and there.
But it's a poignant story about my look at Peter Falk dying the way he died after being such a huge star as Lieutenant Colombo and in many movies as just a real, down home regular guy who'll always I guess, succeeded by falling up. I should say, I just don't have many of those guys left, dynymore.
