From Workhouse Connect and aj Benza fame. Uh, he'd liked to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. Is uh the guy put the cock in the peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody aj Benzi here with fame is a bitch. This is your daily Unfiltered podcast for November twentieth, twenty twenty four one one two oh two oh two four or one one twenty twenty twenty four. Let's think about bab blah blah blah
as we do the show. Well, I wish Barbara Walters just could come back to their view and get rid of some people who don't belong there, basically all of them. What a shit show that program is. I can't believe it, folks. If you oh God, It's not like Dan Bongino. I can't stay look at Bongino is definitely qualified to do what he does. You know, I never really liked him on air. I thought he was on Fox News to basically attack Heraldo Rivera. That's what Sean Hannity had him for,
and he was his attack dog. You know, I'm not saying Heraldo didn't deserve it, but there's something about Dan Bongino. I get that he's unpolished. I respect his work in the Secret Service at his military background, but I just don't like him on his podcast. I just don't. I know he knows a lot because he knows the lay of the land with respect to the White House and
Secret Service and presidents, but I don't know. There's something about him I find and I should talk because I'm the most unpolished person in the world with a podcast, and I wish I had his audience. But I don't think he's that good at what he does. And I just can't stand how many times he says folks, I don't know. Not trying to shoot him down. The guy does find jo and he's on our team. But yeah, not a big fan. Not a big fan. Uh, listen, you gotta listen to everything as a bitch. It's probably
gonna be up today. We finished it yesterday, Mike and myself. It was so funny, as a lot of shows do that him and I do together. It devolves into high school and some of the crazy stuff that happened in high school. And there are some stories that I just I've covered a lot of them on my own show, but sometimes Mike evokes in memory out of me that I didn't have in my chest of I'm looking at I'm looking at AOC on TV to my right. I remember I said before the election that she's pregnant and
she would announce after Trump wins. But she hasn't announced yet, so I guess I was wrong. I don't know. I just felt like she was pregnant. I'm wrong. It happens, happens once in a while, not a big deal. There's something I wanted to address about the podcast Obsessed. Oh. I understand some of you, and if you're listening to this, then the problem isn't happening to you. But some of you have had issues with the podcast not showing up on the third party app overcast. One of you said
it didn't show up on Apple. Well, my Patreon shows don't go to Apple. Only my free shows go to Apple, which I'm going to start doing again now that I'm in my apartment and everything is behind me, and I can, you know, finally rest easy and do my shows each week, which are ten shows a week. But if you had problems with that, Mike Agavino said he's going to post how post instructions on how you may be able to get around that if it keeps happening. But happen to
me too. I listened to my show either through Patreon or through overcast, and I didn't get Monday and Tuesday's show either, so but they appeared on Patreon. So those of you having an issue, why don't you listen on Patreon. I don't get it, but Mike is going to address it. It's not a problem on our end, it's a problem out there. I don't know what, but I'll keep you posted. I'll put something on the podcast of says Page. I'll
maybe do a live Facebook on it. But I can't help those people who don't do Facebook and aren't on the podcast of sess Page, and they just have to figure it out, you know. I don't know what else to say. I read an interesting article and it got me thinking about the old days. Chaer has a book coming out, her memoirs, and obviously a lot of it's about Sonny Bono. It's amazing I haven't said his last name in so long that when I see the word
I always say Bono. It's Sonny Bono. Sonny Bono used a lie to share and say he was a direct descended from Napoleon Bonaparte that it was hard to fathohim because Sonny Bono was Sicilian and Napoleon was Corsican. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess people move around, but I kind of get the feeling that was Sonny's little extra added ingredient about himself to impress the girls. Maybe, but Shared tells some
great stories. Look, I can't stand in her politics either, but there's no disagreeing that this woman led a fascinating life. And if she tells the complete truth in her memoirs, it would be a hell of a read, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Am I wrong about this? Why do I think that she lost her virginity to Warren Baty? I could swear that, well, Maarren wouldn't say that, but
I think I read that one time. I mean Shared had some fun, But I mean when she met Sonny she was sixteen and she lied and said she was you know, seventeen is if that's even better? But I guess back in the sixties it didn't really matter much. But she did date Warren Beatty when she was Warren Batty. I had to say Beatty Batty. She dated Warren at sixteen years old, and she says she lost her virginity to Warren Batty. Wow, unbelievable. And then she met Sonny.
Imagine you mean, imagine your sunny bono and you meet a sixteen year old girl and you find out what she's gross to begin with, but you find out that she already lost a virginity to a superstar, you know, who's not a tiny short Sicilian with a crazy bowl cut, but he's a movie star. Anyhow. The excerpts from this book are fascinating, the very interesting, the fact that Sonny was just this very kind of controlling person, but he knew what he wanted, he knew what he had to do.
He'd already written songs that was sung by other groups, so when he met Share, he was beginning to become a somebody. But she writes in the book that when he first shut up at this table at some nightclub, he was interested in Cher's friend, who happened to be a lesbian. But Sonny didn't know that, and he didn't really have interest in Share. But Chaer was living with that girl in a platonic way, and at some point the girl said, look, you're gonna have to get your
own place, so she didn't know what to do. She saw Sonny move into a building next door to her, and she approached him and said, I have no place to go, and he said, you could stay with me Share. Don't worry. I have twin beds and I'm not that attracted to you, which was probably a lie. But eventually she came to him crying one night, nervous about whatever, and he said, you can sleep next to me in
the bed, but let's behave ourselves. So she's telling the truth about how Sonny was, but in this book she also says how he took God this. He set up a company call that Think Share Enterprises and from that entity, Sonny Bono took ninety five percent and the other five percent went to his attorney Share God Netting. Wow. I Uh, my cousin Vinnie, my uncle, Vinnie was very close to Sonny and his ex wife Mary. I told you about me going to Mary's restaurant. She had a place in
Long Beach, California. She got involved in politics, and one night we all went down to eat there. You know, Vinnie was very close to Sonny and Share. In fact, when I stayed at Vinie's house when I first moved to La he had this big white not a light bulb, but the thing in the lamp that goes above you and the light bulb hangs instead. I mean it's a lighting fixture. But the fixture was a big white, at least three bowling balls big, and it had Sonny and
SHARE's face on. It was a light from their Variety show. And Vinnie had that, which I thought was always so cool. But we went down to Long Beach to have dinner with a couple of friends of ours, and Mary Bono sat with us, and I didn't pick up on this, but apparently she had a little bit of a thing for me. I had no clue. So we're eating dinner. She's bringing out fantastic food and all this is on the arm. It's free, guys, please eat please. She sat down with us, she's eating. I mentioned I love to
cook myself. Oh, you got to see the kitchen, I said, I'd love to see the kitchen. Oh, I go see the kitchen and Mary and I go in the kitchen and Mary and now the staff is gone because it's late and they're done cook. She throws me up against the wall. And starts sticking her tongue down my throat and she's begging me to touch her and squeeze. I swear to God. And you know, it wasn't like a woman that I I didn't want to be with her. I didn't flirt with her. Just she was considerably old me.
I don't know. She just wanted to feel something. It's and I felt horrible to be like, no, no, oh no, come on, they gonna I have to make believe now Uncle Vinnie's gonna catch me, and this is embarrassing. He gotta come on another time. And then as I was leaving, she was like, oh, I'm so sorry, Please please don't hold that against me. I don't know what came over me. Maybe it was the wine. I said, yeah, it's okay,
don't worry. I'll never say a word. I was back in nineteen ninety seven, so I've said a word now. But it happened again years later when I went to I don't know why I'm telling the story like I'm some big shot now. I'm just saying that sometimes these things happen, and it's a weird feeling. I went to the Sunset, the Sunset Bar, Sunset Marquee, which was the whiskey, very famous bar that's inside at the bottom level of the sunset Marquee in Beverly Hills, beautiful place, grate pool.
A lot of people go there, a little little fucking time barr at the bottom of this is where I met Billy, Bob and Angelina, Joelee and a lot of people slash. I mean everybody goes there. Back in the day, it was packed. So I'm there one night and do you know the do you know the Oh God, I hate you know. Maybe I shouldn't tell the story. I feel bad. An actress, an actress came at me and did the same thing, like just pushed me against the
wall in on the way to the restroom. And uh, Patty Darbinville, who I love Patty, And we all know Patty. She was a New Yorker. She she's gotten a lot of work over the years. You know, dated Don Johnson. Oh it's all, But when she did that to me, I didn't want to be with Patty. I didn't know what to do. And again, oh no, Patty, and people are gonna catch us. It's embarrassing. Don't worry. I don't know.
People have needs. People have needs. And I talked about a story like that with Mike today on Everything as a Bitch, where I mentioned this story and I love telling these stories to Mike because Mike didn't have this life. And as a matter of fact, you know, Mike is much more pragmatic and reasonable and more intelligent than I am in a lot of ways. I lived my life to have fun. Mike lived his life to build a better life and a good life, and he's stacked, you know,
good karma on top of good karma. I wasn't doing that. And I made mention of that on the Relationships as a Bitch show, and you'll hear that as well, which I talked to him in arena and said, you know, I did bad things. I said, I still feel like I'm paying back with Mike karma. Some of the things
I did, I said. I was with the woman one time who was married, and I was doing I was doing some advertising a TV show like a free weekend of Showtime and the movie Channel, remember TMC, and I was the guy who delivered scripts and I was looked at the camera and talk about why you should get Showtime. And I would review a couple of movies that are going to be on Showtime and Movie Channel that week, and it was all to sell those particular cable companies
and for people to subscribe. So I sat in this makeshift desk with a typewriter in a bookshelf, and they made it look like I was in my office, so to speak, and I would deliver these lines that I wrote, and I'd review the movies that are going to be on Showtime and Movie Channel. The whole time, there was a woman across from me. Oh, a woman, you know. She's probably in her thirties, so was I, and very pretty.
But she was behind the glass. She was a director, and she stayed in the booth and I didn't really she was behind the glass, but I could tell she was very pretty, and I could tell from the glass that I could see her upper body, and I'm like, okay, that's a pretty girl there. I was single, and the shoots over. I had one more day the next day to do the Movie Channel stuff and okay, that's a wrap. And this girl came out and gave me a hug as much as normal. You say goodbye to the crew
that helped you work. Okay, guys, thanks so much. That's a wrap. And then uh, okay, thanks so much. You know, it's like a ten thousand dollars off of two days work. It was easy, peasy. I go back to the office. A week later, I got a phone call. It's the director a j Hi, it's Chris. Listen, I have the tapes of all the stuff you did, if you want them. I said, yeah, I like them. I don't know where they are now, but because I could mail them or I could meet you and hand them to you. And
she was pretty so I said, we'll just meet. I said, well, I'll take you to dinner. You know, you did a nice thing. You gave me a great a great easy gig. Let me spend somebody. But then to my friend's restaurant. We'll go down to Boom and soho oh yeah, yeah, you know, I's Friday. Okay. So I meet her there at the restaurant. First thing she says to me when we meet, I've never done this before. So what do you mean I've never I've never been with the man
I'm married. I did not know that's where she was headed. I not gonna lie. I thought that, hey, you know, maybe who knows, there could be some fun here. But she just said, I've never done this. I said, Oh, don't worry, don't worry. We don't have to do No, I want to. Oh, okay, you want to? And I said on the relationship show, because we were talking about people getting divorced or not being happy and how marriages or relationships have trouble and I, you know, sex is
a big part of it. And this girl said to me, and it was not easy for her to say this. She said, you know what, I have a great husband. He is a wonderful guy. He's a good father. We have two kids, both under seven, and he's just a wonderful guy. But I don't feel wanted by him. I don't feel hungered by him. I'm hearing this going, oh Jesus Christ. And I just, you know, oh God, don't think badly of me. I said, I don't stop. I
totally get it. Just don't worry about it. And she's basically telling me she wants to go back and you know, culminate this situation. And we did.
And basically, and I hated to hear this. This girl wanted to be treated a different way. She didn't want to be treated like something fragile in a box.
That's taped together. She wanted to feel like free and maybe hear some things in her ear that she never heard. And I did that for her. Okay, that ends. She was very happy. Please don't think ill of me. Stop saying that I don't look life is complicated, it's long. I'm glad I was there to help you. That's the way I thought back that I was providing a service, which is so stupid. I should have said I'm not. No, you're married, your husband's a good guy. I don't I
don't want to get involved. But no, me, mister shortcut said, oh boy, this is an easy one. And then about two months later, her husband died. He was walking through the train cars to go back up to Westchester County and this, you know, you walk through the cars on a t and for a second or so you're in between cars, and you could fall off the train if you're being sloppy or drunk or whatever. He was neither, but he slipped, and he fell off the train and died.
And I carried this guilt around, not because it was my fault, but I thought, oh my god, this fucking guy has a nice wife, two kids. I what did I do? So whatever my life is like issues and problems. I always think back to the shit I did wrong that other men didn't know I did, and it makes me feel real shitty, it really does. Of him being honest. But anyhow, we're talking about sunny and show. Oh I know what about to say? I wanted to say that
back then. You know, we'd all watch around the TV all these variety shows, right, everybody had one Glenn Campbell Good Time Hour. Oh my god. It's knowing that your door was always open and you're a path is free to all that makes me tenderly, my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch. I love that first Stanza because it didn't rhyme, and I thought, what balls on?
Glenn Campbell not even rhyming? Good for him. And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bombs and the he stands all dried upon some line that keeps you in the back road by the rivers of my memory and keeps you evgen alone my mind. Can I be honest with you? I remember, I remember hearing that and knowing those words that keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory. I remember thinking, I, I, how do you write that? How do you how do
you find those words to write that? And then you know I did. But isn't that something? As a kid, Perry Como had a variety show, John Denver, of course, John Davidson, who I mean, I don't know what talent he had. Here's the name for the past. How many of you remember Bobby Goldsborough? And if that's not loving me, then all I've got to say. God didn't make little green apples. It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time.
No one has put Indianapolis in a song. There's no such thing as Doctor Seuss, no Disneyland, Mother Goose, There's no nursery rhyme. Yeah, we all sat around the TV and listened to these awful songs, but we were with our family, are siblings. There was Mac Davis, Pearl Belly, who my father loved, And as I looked back, I said, my dad liked black women, Edna James Pearl Bailey, Dinah Washington, Come on that smothers brothers. My god, that was a
funny show. Tony Orlando and Dawn with not three times. Diane Carol, do you remember Diane Carroll, what a beautiful woman. I remember she was dating David Frost, the Upper crust talk show hosts, and I recall one of the first times in my life I remember talking about or noticing the fact that it was an interracial relationship. And I think that was the first time. I was like eight years old, but I understood, or I recognized that whites
and blacks could be together. And once I knew that, I found it fascinating and I jumped into soul train, and you know, I just you know, I looked at my sister's album, Martha and the Vandella's. I just looked at these saw these these musical groups from the fifties, and I'm like, oh, I want to hear black women sing. Isn't amazing that you just don't know what your kids are seeing that that rattles around their brain. But I gotta say something and then maybe you have a similar upbringing.
My father was his racist as they came back in the day. The N word was said in our house. A lot of words were said in our house. I mean, he made fun of Italians too. But when I remarked on the interracial aspect of Diane Carroll and David Frost. My father just like waved his hand like, ah, yeah, that's bullshit. Just like try to let me know, no, that's that's bullshit. Doesn't happen. I don't know. Carol Burnett obviously was huge. Remember remember Captain and Taneil Muskrat Love
It's a big I'll tell you what. Make fun of them all you want, But to this day, whenever you hear the initial beats to Love Well Keep Us Together, come on, you have to sing along that song. Those two, they were the epitome of pop music in the seventies, along with Elton John and a few others Jackson five. That was real pop. Muskrat Susie Muskrat, Sam Do the Jitterbug and Muskrat. I remember me and my mother going shopping.
My sister Lauriam was driving her Camaro Silver Camaro to King Cullen to get cold cuts on a Saturday afternoon, and all the good music was on AM radio and we would listen to that song. The first time we heard it, I'm not lying, we were on Keith Lane. I still remember going south on Keith Lane and my sister turning up the volume. I love this song. Much my mother. Oh the rain stop it. Mauch's a good song. They're singing about rats and rodents. It's not about that,
it's about love. It's about rats. Those two were together. They were together thirty nine years before they got a divorce. Sometimes you go, why bother, why they need to divorce so late in life. I remember it was reported that Tony Today was a lesbian and finally had enough keeping that a secret. But she denied that. She wrote a book and denied it. I don't believe it, but she denied it. But they had a great run. I mean, they came out so strong and so fast that back
in nineteen seventy six, they went to the Grammys. Right, they were asked to be the guests of honor at their label's Grammy party. But the hitch was that they weren't invited to the party until they took home the Grammy because they weren't even known yet. But when they won the Grammy, they were invited. That's how fickle Hollywood is. But while they were together, they slept in separate bedrooms.
I don't know something about that, screams I'm an unhappy lesbian, or it could be him saying I'm an unhappy gay man. But no, I think it's about her, not about him. I could be wrong, but everybody had a variety sh Don Nutts, Don Ho, the Hawaiian guy. My aunt Mary never missed it, tiny bubbles, you know the story that schmuck would stand there with his ukulele. I used to make fun of the ukulele. And then I get older, have a daughter who learns to play the hell out
of the ukulele, and she's really great at it. And now I love the sound of the fucking ukulele. I hated it when Don Hoe played it, but Roxy plays it, I'd love it. That's what God will do to you, and I'm glad he did. But when I think back to that era, even if it was just the whole family watching the monkeys, and I remember watching the monkeys because one night, as we're watching the monkeys, I had a fever. I was running a high fever, probably nineteen
sixty eight. I was in first grade, and I couldn't get They couldn't get the feet with that they're putting hot I mean cold washcloths on my forehead, sometimes with alcohol on them, which I mean remember eyes tear and my nose got all crazy. But back then that's what you thought alcohol cold rag and alcohol in the forehead and lower the fever. But it turned out I started throwing up right in the middle of the monkeys. Here we come walking down the street, and I didn't want
to miss it. But I'm throwing up on the floor and there was some blood in it. I'm six years old. Everybody's panicking and the rain started crying. Took me to the emergency room. I had to get my tonsils out and my adnoids, which I had no idea what those things were. Went to Good Samarian Hospital. Back then there was a big room like sixteen by twenty with like six different beds in their small beds for kids, and all of us were there for ton selectamies. Do people
still get ton selectivities? Had that changed? It was a big thing in the sixties. Did you get to us up? Do you s love your tonsils? I have my tonsils? I don't do you ever adenoids? No one talks like that anymore. Did they figure out what tounsils and adnoids are good for or what the I don't know, but I got them removed. I sat in that bed was overnight one day. One night, they gave you a doll, a cubie doll, and they gave they kept saying you
didn't have ice cream after the surgery ice cream. And my parents left me alone six years old in the hospital, and both my mother and father had tears in their eyes. I was petrified. I hated being alone. I swear to God from that moment on, by being left alone in the hospital, I had such a close tie to my parents and my sisters that I couldn't bear the thought of being without my family. I would never go to
people's parties. I would never go to a sleepover. Even if I went to the store, my mother and father I had to hold the wagon or their hands. I was not the kid who disappeared and played behind a clothes rack, or did shit where your parents go? Where is he? Ay Jay? Get over you? I wasn't that kid. I would put a finger in my father's belt loop and walk with him. And as I got older and I tried to stray, my father hold my hand and squeeze it a little bit to let me know you're
not going anywhere. Oh yeah, I could not be without my family, very very deep seated issues there. But when I think about those days and I look back and remember, that's when I really understand the phrase make America great again. It's got nothing to do with me believing white people had all the advantages or any of that racism shit that I hear from people who want to know what exactly was America ever? Great assholes? When I hear that, you know, I want to come on, man, go back
to what those days felt like. It was a simpler time. Nobody had a phone in their hands all day. Last time I made macaroni, a laguini would clam sorocco and I and I don't care because he's like I don't. My son is a great boy. I never have to discipline him. He runs to the table. Now, mind you, he's got his own room now, finally, and that means that when we're home, he goes in his room and shuts his door. And that's just what sixteen year olds do.
Heok him out for dinner, hook him out for a basketball game, to shoot this shit with me for five minutes. Then he's back in his room. But he came to dinner last night, eating Laguinian clams with his right hand, and the left hand. His phone was in his hand, and he's looking at his phone and eating pasta at the same time. That's the youth of that. Now, if I had a story to tell him, he put the phone down. But I gotta kick out of watching it. But back in the day, no one had a phone
in hands, not a book, nothing. People actually made eye contact and spoke to one another. And let me tell them, you know what turned out to be very valuable. All of us had to grow up and cope with the very real and common phenomenon of being bored. Oh yeah, remember Sometimes you'd lay on your back and look at the clouds. If it was nighttime, you'd look for shooting stars. You'd lay on the picnic table in the backyard, maybe see some fireflies. You chase them with a net, put
them in a jar. Being bored made us use our imaginations. It made us feel like if I can be so trite, I guess it made us feel like explorers and all of us were trying to discover our little piece of land or things to pass the time. We got good at what we wanted to do. We got very intelligent, Like we want to go fishing. You know, we could fish off the dock. Roslyn Jack lived on the water.
It was a small dock, like forty feet wide. We had our boat there, but we could sit on the and fish for snappers or cocktail blues in the canal. Back then, our canal had weak fish, bluefish, flounder, fluke. It was so plentiful. In the early seventies, fucked sand sharks used to be in the canal. Back then. It was unbelievable, big giant eels. You'd throw your pole in the water. You wouldn't believe if you catched. But we didn't have bait, and we knew to catch the right fish,
we needed live bait. How do we get live bait? No one's going to drive us to a bait store. There's nothing around. We can't but spider us on the hook, or bugs. If we get corn and bread, we need live We need achillies or shiners spearing. What did we do well? We used our imagination. We learned that if we went back to West Ice Slip Marina where a lot of people's boats were docked. We get our bike and go to the marina, and we noticed there's high
tide and low tide. High tide and low tide, and once we figured out what high tide was, the water would rise. A lot of people back then in the marina. In order for them boat to not hit the bulkhead or the posts where they were tied to, they would hang car tires on the bulkhead or the piers or the poles. So in the case of a you know, a wake or you know a choppy water or bad weather, the boat would hit the rubber tire and not the wood. So with a high tide came and then it went
down in those tires would be bait fish. They would be stuck in the tire because the tide went lower than the tire. We'd scooped the baitfish out with little nets from our aquariums at home, put them in a bucket with water, take it back to Jack and Rose house, bait them on the hook and go fishing. We're fucking eleven twelve years old catching fish for our family to cook. Not to mention crabs hanging on the side of the bullhead.
It was like we were explorers. It was amazing. And don't even let me tell you how many we came up with stup bawl porch bowl. Some games you heard of some games you didn't, rumbles, which was just kill the guy with the ball. You run around with a football with ten fifteen guys, and when you get tackled, you throw the ball up. In the end, someone else runs around. It taught you how to make moves. It taught you how to work in traffic of a bunch of players in the same field. It made you a
better runner, a better athlete. We didn't have to search through Instagram or TikTok. We used our bodies, in our minds. No one dictated shit to us. We made up the stuff we wanted to play. That's when America was great to me. Right. I played the silly game with Jackie and Joey when they were young. I mean, I don't know. It was in Rosalie's backyard before she had a pool.
I'd run next door and I would you know, we were separated by one gate, and my father's great barber went from our house to Rosalie and Jack's deck, and we followed that little pathway open the gate. I'd be at Rosalie and Jack's house and I'd tell Jackie and joe to come down, says Jackie. Must have been eleven. I'm seventeen eighteen, Joey six or seven, and we played this game of baseball in the backyard. It was me
against those two. Joey would pitch a big, fat, plastic imitation baseball, the kind of baseball and bat you give for a kick. The bat was really thick and wide right, and the ball was crisp and plastic, and they'd pitched to me. Joey would pitch. I'd let Joey strike me out for him. He was a kid. He thought he was doing well. Oh man, I keep missing it, and he's like so happy. I let the game get really close. I didn't even let them get the lead. Oh you
guys are winning by three runs. It's my last inning. I'd load the bases and then Joey would pitch, and I'd crack a fucking grand slam. I would hit it over the house. That was the rule. If it landed in the deck, it was one run over the house, four runs, and I would hit a blast over the roof. This happened every week, and for some reason, I don't know why, I know it was a hit song, but every time I hit the home run over the roof, I would start to sing the Bay City Rollers song,
s he tu are da y night s Hey. Joey would start balling his eyes out, kicking things over, throwing the ball in the canal. He was so pissed off. Jack You'll be laughing whether I keep balling, dance until the night. It is true, and I go as I ran past Joe I say Saturaday night, saturdayday night. Oh
my god. He couldn't take it. And then you know, as we got older, Joey becomes a great baseball player, and then the video game sensation happened, Sega Atari, Nintendo, all this kind of shit that I wasn't into because I was older and Joey were dialed in. There was a swimming there was an Olympics game where you diving contest, swimming contest, and Jackie knew how to make my controller or my swimmer weaker. I didn't know that. So he would beat me in every swimming race by a mile,
and I would get so fucking pissed off. And Joey made my controller weaker. When we played baseball, every time I pitched, he hit a home run and the whole crowd would scream. You can imagine the graphics back then were awful, but just hearing the crowd goes crazy. Everybody's jumping in the stands, and Joey would love it. And I started to hit my nephews whatever they Why are you hitting? What is wrong? Why are you hitting home runs? Jackie? Why are you beating me in races by a mile?
What the fuck? Nothing? We just know how to play. No, no, no, you're not telling me something. What are you not telling me? And I would hit them, not in the said. I punched their shoulders, hit their stomach. It got to be a real big competition. And then they finally admitted to me what they were doing. But you know, I remember, as much as I fucked with them when they were kids, when they got older and I was getting older and I didn't like losing to them at video games, then
they were the ones who had it over me. And I remember Joey getting so mad one time because I punched Jackie in the shoulder, and Joey got mad, he's don't hit my brother. The first time they stood up for each other, you know, against me, their uncle. And then there came a day where I was getting pissed off of Joey for some reason, and he decided to stand on his bed and be bigger than me. It
was like we were in the wild Kingdom. Suddenly Joey made himself bigger and taller, and I said to myself, Okay, all right, I know what this means. That means he's had it and he's done, and you know he doesn't want to be fucked with anymore. So I led off him. But man, oh man, I want I want you to hear that show. Listen to Relationships a Bitch, Listen to everything as a bit, because it really does delve into
high school and it's refreshing. As many things as I remember, there are something Mike, something's Mike remembers that take me way back to those days and it just makes me laugh so much. There is nothing better than being able to do these shows with a friend from from junior high no. From twelve years old, little league football until now fifty years later, and we're still laughing at the
same shit. And I just wish you guys had the same thing, and maybe you do with some of your friends, but working with them, working with Mike and hanging out with him and Kenny and doing podcasts, we're all involved and we're all in this together like Musketeers means the world to me, and that's why I get very sentimental about these stories as such. Listen to those shows. I promise I'll figure out well. Mike already sent me instructions on what to do about this situation. I don't know.
I don't need to tell you guys now because you're listening to the show, but I will post instructions on what happens and what you need to do should it happen down the road, and we'll talk about it and make sure that everybody's getting the show and everything is hunky dory until then, Gang, I'm aj Benza hoping you remember the old days and wishing that all of us can somehow get back to what it felt like. America
was great to us. Don't let the detractors and the people who weren't a part of your lives tell you that America wasn't great back then. Don't let them piss on your parade. It was great and it's going to get great again, but don't forget how great it was it. Don't be embarrassed that you had that kind of fun. The world can't be fair to everybody. All the time, and as we all have got older, we've run into situations where the world has kicked us in the fucking shins,
haven't we? So it all equals out, It all equals out in the end. I think that's what God knows he needs to do, including giving me a dose of karma because of some of my past misdeeds. But maybe some of you guys, what are do the same thing as I did. That remains to be seen, all right. I'm aj Benzon. I was your Daily on the Filtered podcast for November twentieth, twenty twenty twenty four. Talk to is tomorrow.
