So if you 23 00:01:56,195 --> 00:02:01,315 Speaker 1: bet the under you lose.

The 38 00:03:24,115 --> 00:03:28,475 Speaker 1: now Solicitor General of the United States, John Sour told 39 00:03:28,715 --> 00:03:33,755 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court to reject Glaine Maxwell's appeal of her 40 00:03:33,755 --> 00:03:38,355 Speaker 1: twenty year sentence. Trump's attorney reminded the Supreme Court that 41 00:03:38,395 --> 00:03:41,355 Speaker 1: the former prosecutor had said, Gallaine Maxwell is guilty of 42 00:03:41,355 --> 00:03:45,275 Speaker 1: one of the worst crimes imaginable, facilitating and participating in 43 00:03:45,355 --> 00:03:50,995 Speaker 1: the sexual abuse of children. That was two weeks ago. 44 00:03:51,035 --> 00:03:54,955 Speaker 1: But sure, make a deal. Art of the deal. Trump's 45 00:03:54,955 --> 00:03:57,955 Speaker 1: the great deal maker. Make the deal with the rapist 46 00:03:58,035 --> 00:04:04,155 Speaker 1: of children, of the woman who essentially held the girls down. 47 00:04:06,275 --> 00:04:09,395 Speaker 1: Make the deal with the woman who sold the children 48 00:04:09,555 --> 00:04:18,075 Speaker 1: to the rapists. Make that deal, Trump, deal maker. And 49 00:04:18,195 --> 00:04:20,835 Speaker 1: you know Trump what that deal is called. It is 50 00:04:20,875 --> 00:04:25,595 Speaker 1: called selling your soul to the devil. If you had 51 00:04:25,915 --> 00:04:35,355 Speaker 1: any soul left to sell you, Donald Trump and all 52 00:04:35,395 --> 00:04:42,795 Speaker 1: of you who support him, stand on the precipice. This 53 00:04:42,915 --> 00:04:48,115 Speaker 1: is not the effing access Hollywood tape. This is not 54 00:04:48,355 --> 00:04:56,795 Speaker 1: even the January sixth Pardons. You are figuratively getting into 55 00:04:56,835 --> 00:05:03,995 Speaker 1: bed with Gallaine Maxwell, and by extension, with Jeffrey Epstein. 56 00:05:04,875 --> 00:05:11,515 Speaker 1: You are figuratively getting into bed with pedophiles right now. 57 00:05:12,875 --> 00:05:18,435 Speaker 1: You are figuratively getting into bed with the process of 58 00:05:18,635 --> 00:05:28,715 Speaker 1: covering up pedophilia. Your shoes are already off. I don't 59 00:05:28,755 --> 00:05:32,035 Speaker 1: care who under prosecuted this in the past and which 60 00:05:32,115 --> 00:05:38,035 Speaker 1: political group demanded prosecutions when and then went silent as 61 00:05:38,115 --> 00:05:43,035 Speaker 1: MAGA did. This is about now and today and now 62 00:05:43,355 --> 00:05:46,955 Speaker 1: and today. Trump has already made a deal with a 63 00:05:46,955 --> 00:05:51,355 Speaker 1: pedophile about pedophilia, and Trump's deputy attorney general has already 64 00:05:51,435 --> 00:05:55,395 Speaker 1: made a deal with a pedophile about pedophilia, and Trump's 65 00:05:55,475 --> 00:05:59,235 Speaker 1: supporters have thus already made a deal with a pedophile 66 00:05:59,315 --> 00:06:05,395 Speaker 1: about pedophilia. There is now no way out of Trumpstein 67 00:06:05,515 --> 00:06:09,995 Speaker 1: for Trump. The only question remains is there a way 68 00:06:10,035 --> 00:06:18,475 Speaker 1: out of Trumpstein for Trump's supporters? And this will only 69 00:06:18,515 --> 00:06:23,195 Speaker 1: get worse because if Trump tries to hide behind Gallaine 70 00:06:23,195 --> 00:06:27,555 Speaker 1: Maxwell in some way, Gallaine Maxwell lying or Gallaine Maxwell fabricating, 71 00:06:27,755 --> 00:06:37,115 Speaker 1: or Gallaine Maxwell telling the truth, Trump becomes pro pedophilia. 72 00:06:37,915 --> 00:06:42,515 Speaker 1: We who abhor him always have to remind ourselves to 73 00:06:42,555 --> 00:06:46,515 Speaker 1: treat Trump as if he is carry White from the 74 00:06:46,595 --> 00:06:50,675 Speaker 1: movie Carrie dead and buried and still reaching out to 75 00:06:50,715 --> 00:06:55,995 Speaker 1: try to drag Amy, irving to hell with her. He 76 00:06:56,075 --> 00:06:59,715 Speaker 1: could have some plan we can't see, it's the only 77 00:06:59,755 --> 00:07:02,835 Speaker 1: thing he's good at. He could have some plan. We 78 00:07:02,915 --> 00:07:05,755 Speaker 1: can't see, some plan to use Elaine Maxwell in some 79 00:07:05,875 --> 00:07:10,755 Speaker 1: way that clears him and implicates I don't know Jerome Powell. 80 00:07:12,515 --> 00:07:16,155 Speaker 1: But if not, all Trump will get out of Todd 81 00:07:16,155 --> 00:07:19,155 Speaker 1: Blanche's two day trip to see her is a whole 82 00:07:19,315 --> 00:07:23,595 Speaker 1: new series of octopus tentacles, or to stick to just 83 00:07:23,675 --> 00:07:26,755 Speaker 1: one analogy, here a whole new set of Carrie's arms 84 00:07:27,075 --> 00:07:33,395 Speaker 1: reaching up from hell to take Trump with her. And 85 00:07:33,435 --> 00:07:37,195 Speaker 1: even if he has some plan, he is his administration 86 00:07:37,475 --> 00:07:43,275 Speaker 1: is right now on Gallaine Maxwell's side, and anything from 87 00:07:43,315 --> 00:07:50,195 Speaker 1: here other than totally repudiating her is Trump walking blindfolded 88 00:07:50,595 --> 00:07:54,635 Speaker 1: through a live minefield. Because, apart from the court of law, 89 00:07:54,915 --> 00:07:59,435 Speaker 1: uselessness of Gallaine Maxwell, so useless that one expert remarked 90 00:07:59,435 --> 00:08:02,635 Speaker 1: that we're Jeffrey Epstein, still alive and trying to defend 91 00:08:02,715 --> 00:08:05,555 Speaker 1: himself today, and Maxwell was I's going to help him 92 00:08:05,555 --> 00:08:10,115 Speaker 1: defend himself. His lawyer would never let her testify. She 93 00:08:10,275 --> 00:08:13,875 Speaker 1: isn't just damaged goods, but legally she is burnt to 94 00:08:13,995 --> 00:08:20,755 Speaker 1: a cinder goods. She is a proven perjurer. But this 95 00:08:20,875 --> 00:08:24,715 Speaker 1: is not a court of law. This is Trump's existential 96 00:08:24,995 --> 00:08:29,035 Speaker 1: trump Stein crisis unlike anything he has been through in 97 00:08:29,075 --> 00:08:32,675 Speaker 1: at least the last ten years. It could dry up 98 00:08:32,715 --> 00:08:36,915 Speaker 1: this week, it has still done damage to him that 99 00:08:37,035 --> 00:08:43,915 Speaker 1: nothing else previously has done, not even January sixth. This 100 00:08:44,035 --> 00:08:48,875 Speaker 1: is Trump's existential crisis and his desperate effort to win 101 00:08:49,035 --> 00:08:53,435 Speaker 1: back any any of the eighty three percent of Americans 102 00:08:53,675 --> 00:08:56,995 Speaker 1: who are not approving how he is handling trump Stein. 103 00:09:00,635 --> 00:09:05,995 Speaker 1: And it blows up those landmines, blowho up. Trump blows 104 00:09:06,075 --> 00:09:11,075 Speaker 1: himself up with these simple truths, the first of them 105 00:09:11,275 --> 00:09:17,155 Speaker 1: underscored yesterday my Michael A. Cohen, not the ex Trump lawyer, 106 00:09:17,395 --> 00:09:20,195 Speaker 1: the guy from the Center for Strategic Studies at Tufts. 107 00:09:20,875 --> 00:09:25,075 Speaker 1: Michael A. Cohen notes, if Gleainne Maxwell had had any 108 00:09:25,115 --> 00:09:29,235 Speaker 1: information that could have reduced her sentence for child sex trafficking, 109 00:09:29,515 --> 00:09:34,355 Speaker 1: why didn't she provide it before they prosecuted her, before 110 00:09:34,395 --> 00:09:37,395 Speaker 1: they convicted her, before they sentenced her to twenty years, 111 00:09:37,795 --> 00:09:42,275 Speaker 1: before she eliminated herself as a possible witness in Epstein's defense, 112 00:09:42,435 --> 00:09:48,715 Speaker 1: before Epstein saw no other way but suicide. Oh, I'll 113 00:09:48,795 --> 00:09:51,995 Speaker 1: just hold this other information back and go to the 114 00:09:52,035 --> 00:09:56,595 Speaker 1: penitentiary for three years. Three years. Last Friday. By the way, 115 00:09:56,755 --> 00:10:00,355 Speaker 1: I'll just wake them all out. That'll show them I'm 116 00:10:00,475 --> 00:10:03,835 Speaker 1: playing the long game. Three years in the big house, 117 00:10:03,915 --> 00:10:07,755 Speaker 1: much better than telling somebody what I know that could 118 00:10:08,195 --> 00:10:15,035 Speaker 1: keep me out of the big house. She has nothing 119 00:10:15,235 --> 00:10:21,275 Speaker 1: both new and true. The second truth, as mentioned two 120 00:10:21,315 --> 00:10:26,195 Speaker 1: weeks ago, Trump's DOJ argued against her appeal Trump's DOJ 121 00:10:26,355 --> 00:10:30,155 Speaker 1: two weeks ago to the Supreme Court two weeks ago. 122 00:10:31,035 --> 00:10:35,555 Speaker 1: The third truth. She is convicted of committing heinous crimes 123 00:10:36,275 --> 00:10:41,755 Speaker 1: against children. The official Department of Justice records dating back 124 00:10:41,795 --> 00:10:45,915 Speaker 1: to the first Trump administration brand her a perpetrator of 125 00:10:46,035 --> 00:10:51,035 Speaker 1: sexual crimes against children. These people are by definition not 126 00:10:51,235 --> 00:10:54,595 Speaker 1: just no longer credible. Nobody wants to be in the 127 00:10:54,635 --> 00:11:01,075 Speaker 1: same room with them. The fourth truth. In her own defense, 128 00:11:01,395 --> 00:11:06,155 Speaker 1: Gallainne Maxwell refused to even entertain the possibility of testifying 129 00:11:06,275 --> 00:11:15,395 Speaker 1: against anybody else. Suddenly she's entertaining that Trump's critics will 130 00:11:15,435 --> 00:11:20,835 Speaker 1: put holes through her on this point alone. She put 131 00:11:20,955 --> 00:11:24,675 Speaker 1: holes through herself about this, And guess what happens to 132 00:11:24,715 --> 00:11:31,515 Speaker 1: Trump if he's standing behind somebody like that. The fifth truth, 133 00:11:31,635 --> 00:11:36,595 Speaker 1: She has already repeatedly lied under oath perjury. Why on 134 00:11:36,635 --> 00:11:39,755 Speaker 1: earth would anybody believe she would not lie while not 135 00:11:39,995 --> 00:11:48,635 Speaker 1: under oath. On top of the moral degeneracy of just 136 00:11:49,635 --> 00:11:57,635 Speaker 1: Trump sending somebody to meet with this scum, apart from 137 00:11:57,635 --> 00:12:01,115 Speaker 1: the moral degeneracy of Trump immunizing her even just for 138 00:12:01,155 --> 00:12:05,835 Speaker 1: two days, she has no credibility even within the Q 139 00:12:06,035 --> 00:12:09,395 Speaker 1: and on trump Ist circles. She is not just one 140 00:12:09,435 --> 00:12:13,515 Speaker 1: of humanity's villains. She is not just one of reality's villains. 141 00:12:13,635 --> 00:12:17,155 Speaker 1: She is one of the q andon fantasy world's villains. 142 00:12:18,395 --> 00:12:23,395 Speaker 1: She doesn't improve Trump's case, she manages somehow to tarnish 143 00:12:23,435 --> 00:12:31,755 Speaker 1: Trump's already human garbage reputation. But go ahead, jump into 144 00:12:31,795 --> 00:12:37,395 Speaker 1: bed with her. Trump, You should figuratively jump into bed 145 00:12:37,435 --> 00:12:39,755 Speaker 1: with this child rapist as many times as you can. 146 00:12:40,155 --> 00:13:12,435 Speaker 1: Good call that Trump will certainly stop the Trump's Steen scandal. Now, 147 00:13:12,955 --> 00:13:15,795 Speaker 1: this doesn't even factor in the reality that in each 148 00:13:15,835 --> 00:13:18,715 Speaker 1: of his desperate attempts to change this subject, Trump has 149 00:13:18,755 --> 00:13:23,315 Speaker 1: managed to incriminate himself in some other way Before he 150 00:13:23,395 --> 00:13:28,275 Speaker 1: left for Scotland. While trying to clear himself by incriminating 151 00:13:28,315 --> 00:13:31,755 Speaker 1: others in the pedophilia end of the Trumpstein scandal, Trump 152 00:13:31,795 --> 00:13:35,475 Speaker 1: managed only to clear others in the cover up end 153 00:13:35,515 --> 00:13:39,515 Speaker 1: of the Trumpstein scandal and incriminate himself in the cover 154 00:13:39,595 --> 00:13:46,195 Speaker 1: up end of the Trumpstein scandal. How how did nobody 155 00:13:46,195 --> 00:13:54,995 Speaker 1: else hear this SoundBite and not say wait, Trump is 156 00:13:55,035 --> 00:13:58,715 Speaker 1: not only admitting there is an Epstein list, and he 157 00:13:58,795 --> 00:14:01,875 Speaker 1: is admitting he has this Epstein list, and he is 158 00:14:01,915 --> 00:14:05,195 Speaker 1: boasting that he could easily release this Epstein list, and 159 00:14:05,595 --> 00:14:07,355 Speaker 1: that he is boasting he could give it to you 160 00:14:07,475 --> 00:14:11,195 Speaker 1: right now. And he is incriminating himself in the cover 161 00:14:11,315 --> 00:14:14,315 Speaker 1: up by implying he will not give you this Epstein 162 00:14:14,395 --> 00:14:18,755 Speaker 1: list that he confirms exists. You know, you should focus 163 00:14:18,875 --> 00:14:22,395 Speaker 1: on Clinton. You should focus on the president of Harvard, 164 00:14:22,995 --> 00:14:26,395 Speaker 1: the former president of Harvard. You should focus on some 165 00:14:26,515 --> 00:14:28,355 Speaker 1: of the hedge funds. Guys. I'll give you a list. 166 00:14:28,715 --> 00:14:32,035 Speaker 1: These guys lived with Jeffrey Epstein. I sure as hell did. 167 00:14:32,675 --> 00:14:40,715 Speaker 1: Thank you. I'll give you a list. There's a list. 168 00:14:41,675 --> 00:14:48,755 Speaker 1: I'll give you a list. I mean, forgive me for 169 00:14:48,875 --> 00:14:51,755 Speaker 1: going out on a limit inferring things here. But when 170 00:14:51,755 --> 00:14:54,675 Speaker 1: he says I'll give you a list, that makes me 171 00:14:54,755 --> 00:14:59,275 Speaker 1: think there's a list. And when he says I'll give 172 00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:01,755 Speaker 1: you a list, that makes me think he can give 173 00:15:01,835 --> 00:15:04,075 Speaker 1: me that list. And when he says I'll give you 174 00:15:04,115 --> 00:15:06,075 Speaker 1: a list that it makes me think he's not giving 175 00:15:06,075 --> 00:15:08,675 Speaker 1: me the list. And that is the essence of the 176 00:15:08,715 --> 00:15:14,955 Speaker 1: trumps Steen gover up to which he just confessed guilty. 177 00:15:16,515 --> 00:15:22,595 Speaker 1: There's a list, I'll show you a list. I'll give 178 00:15:22,635 --> 00:15:29,835 Speaker 1: you a list. I won't give it to you. This 179 00:15:30,035 --> 00:15:36,235 Speaker 1: is my point. This slob can't move. He is so 180 00:15:36,395 --> 00:15:39,475 Speaker 1: guilty in so many different ways in this one story 181 00:15:40,915 --> 00:15:43,915 Speaker 1: that as he tries to de incriminate himself in one 182 00:15:43,995 --> 00:15:48,635 Speaker 1: part of this continent sized quicksand pit, he only manages 183 00:15:48,715 --> 00:15:52,235 Speaker 1: to sink deeper into a different part of the same pit. 184 00:15:53,955 --> 00:15:57,795 Speaker 1: And whichever illegal, immoral move he makes with Glaine Maxwell, 185 00:15:57,795 --> 00:16:01,075 Speaker 1: he will only multiply his game of choose your adventure 186 00:16:01,635 --> 00:16:08,075 Speaker 1: and guess what he can't survive, and of the adventures, 187 00:16:08,155 --> 00:16:10,715 Speaker 1: And on top of all that, something else that seems 188 00:16:10,715 --> 00:16:15,835 Speaker 1: to have gone by unnoticed, the details of what there 189 00:16:16,035 --> 00:16:19,755 Speaker 1: is of Trump in the Epstein files. Excuse me, in 190 00:16:19,795 --> 00:16:25,155 Speaker 1: the Epstein list, Trump confirmed last Friday exists and he 191 00:16:25,195 --> 00:16:28,875 Speaker 1: could give it to you. The details of where he 192 00:16:29,035 --> 00:16:33,555 Speaker 1: is in them are being leaked out so methodically and 193 00:16:33,635 --> 00:16:36,995 Speaker 1: at such regular intervals that I am beginning to suspect 194 00:16:37,315 --> 00:16:43,395 Speaker 1: this has all been planned, that somebody is torturing Trump 195 00:16:44,235 --> 00:16:49,035 Speaker 1: with this drip drip drip of pedophilia and child trafficking 196 00:16:49,395 --> 00:16:54,675 Speaker 1: and Epstein and Galaine Maxwell and blackmail and a Trump 197 00:16:54,795 --> 00:17:02,235 Speaker 1: conspiracy to cover all of it up, the cover up 198 00:17:02,235 --> 00:17:03,915 Speaker 1: which he has to admit to in hopes that you'll 199 00:17:03,915 --> 00:17:07,395 Speaker 1: only think about other people on the list and not 200 00:17:07,475 --> 00:17:09,955 Speaker 1: the fact that he has the list and is covering 201 00:17:10,035 --> 00:17:16,075 Speaker 1: up the list. This has to have been planned. Somebody 202 00:17:16,235 --> 00:17:22,955 Speaker 1: is doing this to him. It's too well organized. Who's 203 00:17:23,315 --> 00:17:30,075 Speaker 1: torturing him? On one level? Who cares? Give him a 204 00:17:30,075 --> 00:17:36,875 Speaker 1: Nobel Peace prize? See if anybody shows up to claim it. 205 00:17:39,915 --> 00:17:42,995 Speaker 1: But if you had to guess who was that?

Trump is in the Epstein files. 208 00:17:50,395 --> 00:17:53,595 Speaker 1: That is the real reason they have not been made public. 209 00:17:53,875 --> 00:17:59,995 Speaker 1: Have a nice day, DJT, who on July sixteenth called 210 00:18:00,035 --> 00:18:03,555 Speaker 1: Trump's actions about the files quote a cover up obviously, 211 00:18:05,035 --> 00:18:07,755 Speaker 1: who wrote on July twenty second that Speaker Mike Johnson 212 00:18:07,995 --> 00:18:10,795 Speaker 1: sent the House of Representatives home before in Epstein vote 213 00:18:10,835 --> 00:18:14,835 Speaker 1: for quote only one reason.

Who had a small group of computer 220 00:18:47,275 --> 00:18:54,235 Speaker 1: nerds and hackers slavishly devoted personally to him, accessing everything. 221 00:18:57,115 --> 00:19:02,435 Speaker 1: Who had Trump's ear Who seemingly had control of many, 222 00:19:02,515 --> 00:19:05,755 Speaker 1: if not most, of the tools of Trump's administration, And 223 00:19:05,835 --> 00:19:12,355 Speaker 1: I do mean tools until they broke suddenly and dramatically, 224 00:19:12,435 --> 00:19:16,875 Speaker 1: like psychopathic narcissists always eventually do break. Who has been 225 00:19:16,915 --> 00:19:23,275 Speaker 1: overtaken by waves of embittered, irrational, uncontrollable revenge, not just once, 226 00:19:23,515 --> 00:19:25,555 Speaker 1: but after he tried to clean up the first one, 227 00:19:25,675 --> 00:19:28,875 Speaker 1: a second one, a second wave. Who could have walked 228 00:19:28,915 --> 00:19:32,355 Speaker 1: out of the White House with anything the Department of 229 00:19:32,555 --> 00:19:36,755 Speaker 1: Justice had on Epstein, without Pam Blondie or Donald Trump 230 00:19:36,995 --> 00:19:41,675 Speaker 1: ever knowing that it was gone. Who could have walked 231 00:19:41,675 --> 00:19:44,715 Speaker 1: out with all the Epstein stuff and oh, all the 232 00:19:44,875 --> 00:19:55,675 Speaker 1: Epstein trump Stein stuff. Two First Axios reports that Trump's 233 00:19:55,715 --> 00:19:58,035 Speaker 1: administration has done a one tot eighty. There's no list 234 00:19:58,115 --> 00:20:03,875 Speaker 1: Epstein killed himself, sorry QAnon July sixth, five months after 235 00:20:03,955 --> 00:20:05,955 Speaker 1: Bondi said the was a list and it was on 236 00:20:05,995 --> 00:20:11,395 Speaker 1: her desk at that moment. At that moment, the DOJ 237 00:20:11,595 --> 00:20:14,315 Speaker 1: releases its video of the Epstein suicide minute to prove 238 00:20:14,315 --> 00:20:17,515 Speaker 1: he killed himself. That was July seventh. Countless reporters are 239 00:20:17,635 --> 00:20:23,075 Speaker 1: tipped to the oopsie in that that video is missing 240 00:20:23,075 --> 00:20:29,235 Speaker 1: the Epstein suicide minute. The dog then has to explain 241 00:20:29,315 --> 00:20:32,035 Speaker 1: all of its tapes are missing that particular minute of 242 00:20:32,075 --> 00:20:37,835 Speaker 1: the day, all July seventh. Trump is then so rattled 243 00:20:37,875 --> 00:20:40,795 Speaker 1: he attacks his own supporters for asking about Epstein on 244 00:20:40,875 --> 00:20:45,755 Speaker 1: July eighth. On July eleventh, sources tell Wired Wired is 245 00:20:45,795 --> 00:20:51,115 Speaker 1: a computer and tech magazine that now the DOJ tape 246 00:20:51,435 --> 00:20:55,835 Speaker 1: it's actually several tapes edited together, and that the metadata 247 00:20:55,955 --> 00:21:01,515 Speaker 1: on the tape says metadata that stuff computer people traffic 248 00:21:01,675 --> 00:21:06,715 Speaker 1: in that the original one doesn't have one minute missing, 249 00:21:06,755 --> 00:21:09,595 Speaker 1: it has two minutes in fifty three seconds missing, like 250 00:21:09,635 --> 00:21:15,235 Speaker 1: the Watergate gap. July fifteenth, somebody at ABC News, Catherine Falders, 251 00:21:15,475 --> 00:21:18,515 Speaker 1: knows enough to ask Trump in a gaggle on the 252 00:21:18,595 --> 00:21:22,075 Speaker 1: lawn about everything else, to ask him just randomly out 253 00:21:22,115 --> 00:21:25,155 Speaker 1: of the blue, if Pam Bondy told him in a 254 00:21:25,315 --> 00:21:29,915 Speaker 1: briefing that he is in the Epstein files. Just out 255 00:21:29,915 --> 00:21:36,675 Speaker 1: of nowhere. She thought of that question. She's a good reporter. 256 00:21:38,675 --> 00:21:40,995 Speaker 1: I always doubt it when a reporter just suddenly has 257 00:21:41,035 --> 00:21:43,355 Speaker 1: a light bulb go off and say, listen, let me 258 00:21:43,395 --> 00:21:48,075 Speaker 1: ask you about something that hasn't been talked about in weeks. 259 00:21:50,835 --> 00:21:54,715 Speaker 1: July sixteenth, Trump, aware that something is up, calls anybody 260 00:21:54,795 --> 00:21:57,795 Speaker 1: asking about Epstein a quote former supporter, and says he 261 00:21:57,835 --> 00:22:01,635 Speaker 1: doesn't want their support. That night, July sixteenth, the Wall 262 00:22:01,635 --> 00:22:05,635 Speaker 1: Street Journal reports Trump is in the Epstein file and 263 00:22:05,715 --> 00:22:12,875 Speaker 1: had composed a body letter cryptically referring to Epstein's beautiful secret. 264 00:22:13,835 --> 00:22:18,875 Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal a paper that billionaires like to 265 00:22:18,955 --> 00:22:26,635 Speaker 1: read about themselves. In July twenty second, CNN publishes videos 266 00:22:26,635 --> 00:22:29,275 Speaker 1: of Trump and Epstein together and images of Epstein at 267 00:22:29,275 --> 00:22:32,235 Speaker 1: Trump's wedding with his second wife, Marla. July twenty third, 268 00:22:32,275 --> 00:22:38,435 Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal again that would be a money newspaper, 269 00:22:38,555 --> 00:22:42,035 Speaker 1: reports Bondi did tell Trump in May that he's in 270 00:22:42,075 --> 00:22:46,995 Speaker 1: the file, eight days after somebody thought maybe I should 271 00:22:46,995 --> 00:22:49,115 Speaker 1: ask him if Bondi told him he's in the file. 272 00:22:49,795 --> 00:22:52,355 Speaker 1: July twenty fourth, The New York Times publishes a picture 273 00:22:52,715 --> 00:22:57,555 Speaker 1: of the Epstein birthday book and a reference to Trump 274 00:22:57,715 --> 00:23:04,195 Speaker 1: in that picture. Wherever did they get that? July twenty fourth, 275 00:23:04,235 --> 00:23:06,875 Speaker 1: Trump is so rattled he again insists that the entire 276 00:23:06,875 --> 00:23:10,035 Speaker 1: Epstein story is a Democratic plot and that as the 277 00:23:10,075 --> 00:23:13,235 Speaker 1: files are revealed quote, we'll see that it is another 278 00:23:13,795 --> 00:23:18,795 Speaker 1: Democratic con job, again underscoring that that can't be true, 279 00:23:18,795 --> 00:23:23,435 Speaker 1: because if it were, he should be revealing all of 280 00:23:23,475 --> 00:23:27,675 Speaker 1: it immediately because it would exonerate him and implicate the Democrats. 281 00:23:30,035 --> 00:23:32,835 Speaker 1: And last Friday, as he leaves for Scotland, Trump tries 282 00:23:32,875 --> 00:23:34,755 Speaker 1: to prove he is innocent by saying there is a 283 00:23:34,835 --> 00:23:38,595 Speaker 1: list of people who lived with Epstein and he could 284 00:23:38,635 --> 00:23:42,275 Speaker 1: show it to you, proving he's guilty of lying about 285 00:23:42,475 --> 00:23:47,195 Speaker 1: the list, and proving he won't release the list, which 286 00:23:47,315 --> 00:23:52,035 Speaker 1: by definition is a cover up. And then Friday, when 287 00:23:52,035 --> 00:23:54,795 Speaker 1: he gets to Scotland, he is again asked about what 288 00:23:54,915 --> 00:23:58,155 Speaker 1: Pam Bondi told him in their briefing in May, and 289 00:23:58,235 --> 00:24:07,115 Speaker 1: now he denies she briefed him at all. This is 290 00:24:07,155 --> 00:24:11,555 Speaker 1: not Woodward and Bernstein here. This could be random, good 291 00:24:11,635 --> 00:24:16,195 Speaker 1: journalistic work, except for two things.

But two members of that board tell 336 00:27:58,315 --> 00:28:01,955 Speaker 1: the media that they saw video featuring two naked women. 337 00:28:04,435 --> 00:28:07,115 Speaker 1: One says he thought he saw them on a chiropractic 338 00:28:07,195 --> 00:28:12,115 Speaker 1: table in the video playing on a TV in Walter's office, 339 00:28:12,235 --> 00:28:15,715 Speaker 1: the video, not the women while they were in there 340 00:28:15,755 --> 00:28:19,955 Speaker 1: attending the executive session portion of their meeting in Ryan 341 00:28:20,235 --> 00:28:30,235 Speaker 1: Walter's office taxpayer funded State of Oklahoma office space. The 342 00:28:30,235 --> 00:28:34,875 Speaker 1: story was broken by non DOC short for non doctrinaire, 343 00:28:34,955 --> 00:28:38,475 Speaker 1: the news outlet of the Sustainable Journalism Foundation of Oklahoma. 344 00:28:38,795 --> 00:28:43,395 Speaker 1: Non DOC quoted member Becky Walters, who was there, quote, 345 00:28:43,435 --> 00:28:45,555 Speaker 1: I was like, what am I seeing? I was kind 346 00:28:45,555 --> 00:28:49,355 Speaker 1: of in shock, Honestly. I started a question whether I 347 00:28:49,395 --> 00:28:51,035 Speaker 1: was actually seeing what I was seeing. I was like, 348 00:28:51,115 --> 00:28:53,555 Speaker 1: is that woman naked? And then I was like, no, 349 00:28:53,875 --> 00:28:56,635 Speaker 1: she's got a body suit on. It happened very quickly. 350 00:28:56,675 --> 00:28:59,475 Speaker 1: I was like, that is not a body suit. And 351 00:28:59,515 --> 00:29:01,915 Speaker 1: I hate to even use these terms, but I said, 352 00:29:02,555 --> 00:29:06,475 Speaker 1: those are her nipples. Yes, And then I was looking 353 00:29:06,515 --> 00:29:08,475 Speaker 1: closer and I got a full body view and I 354 00:29:08,515 --> 00:29:14,755 Speaker 1: was like, that is pubic hair. Even right now, I 355 00:29:14,795 --> 00:29:19,435 Speaker 1: couldn't even tell you what I was watching as in aside, 356 00:29:19,475 --> 00:29:22,795 Speaker 1: it sounds like an animated version of Trump's drawing for Epstein, 357 00:29:22,875 --> 00:29:27,835 Speaker 1: doesn't it. Back to the quote, I was so disturbed 358 00:29:27,875 --> 00:29:30,715 Speaker 1: by it that I was like, very loudly and boastfully, 359 00:29:30,755 --> 00:29:32,595 Speaker 1: like I was a parent or a teacher. I said, 360 00:29:32,755 --> 00:29:35,995 Speaker 1: what is on your TV? What am I watching? He 361 00:29:36,235 --> 00:29:40,115 Speaker 1: Walters was like, what what are you talking about? He 362 00:29:40,155 --> 00:29:42,995 Speaker 1: stood up and saw it. He made acknowledgment that he 363 00:29:43,075 --> 00:29:46,355 Speaker 1: saw it, and I said, turn it off now, and 364 00:29:46,395 --> 00:29:49,835 Speaker 1: he was like, what is this? What is this? So 365 00:29:49,875 --> 00:29:52,675 Speaker 1: he acknowledged it was inappropriate just by those words. And 366 00:29:52,715 --> 00:29:54,955 Speaker 1: he was like, I can't get it to turn off. 367 00:29:55,635 --> 00:29:57,955 Speaker 1: I can't figure out how to turn it off. And 368 00:29:57,995 --> 00:30:00,355 Speaker 1: I said, get it turned off. So he finally got 369 00:30:00,395 --> 00:30:02,275 Speaker 1: it turned off and that was the end of it. 370 00:30:02,315 --> 00:30:04,675 Speaker 1: He didn't address it, he didn't apologize, nothing was said. 371 00:30:08,755 --> 00:30:11,835 Speaker 1: The implication here is the naked women video was on 372 00:30:11,875 --> 00:30:16,395 Speaker 1: a loop in Ryan Walter's office on a TV or 373 00:30:16,515 --> 00:30:20,315 Speaker 1: monitor permanently adjusted to make sure you couldn't stop it. 374 00:30:23,675 --> 00:30:26,355 Speaker 1: The President pro Temporary of the Oklahoma Senate says, an 375 00:30:26,355 --> 00:30:29,435 Speaker 1: investigation into Ryan Walters has begun. Quote. This is a 376 00:30:29,475 --> 00:30:32,715 Speaker 1: bizarre and troubling situation that raises serious questions about the 377 00:30:32,755 --> 00:30:35,915 Speaker 1: events and what took place during Thursday's executive session at 378 00:30:35,955 --> 00:30:42,075 Speaker 1: the Oklahoma State Board of Education's meeting. Director Walters says, 379 00:30:42,075 --> 00:30:49,875 Speaker 1: everybody's lying but him. You know how this turns out. 380 00:30:49,915 --> 00:30:53,435 Speaker 1: You've known how this turns out before you heard the story. 381 00:30:54,195 --> 00:30:57,795 Speaker 1: I've explained previously what a psychiatric professional friend of mine 382 00:30:57,835 --> 00:31:01,515 Speaker 1: explained to me when I asked about people like this, 383 00:31:02,035 --> 00:31:05,395 Speaker 1: the public face private reality people. You know the types. 384 00:31:05,435 --> 00:31:08,915 Speaker 1: The homophobe who's a customer of gay prostitutes, the anti 385 00:31:09,075 --> 00:31:12,795 Speaker 1: abortion protester and bomber who has paid for a dozen 386 00:31:12,835 --> 00:31:19,195 Speaker 1: abortions in his lifetime. The say Bible thumping, anti porn 387 00:31:19,275 --> 00:31:21,955 Speaker 1: fascist head of education who has video of naked women 388 00:31:22,195 --> 00:31:25,355 Speaker 1: playing on a loop in his office during an official 389 00:31:25,395 --> 00:31:30,955 Speaker 1: state meeting of the Board of Education. I call my 390 00:31:31,035 --> 00:31:36,915 Speaker 1: friend's explanation the basketball scoreboard theory of such rationalization. If 391 00:31:36,955 --> 00:31:40,515 Speaker 1: you are, say Ryan Walters, there's somebody like him, and 392 00:31:40,555 --> 00:31:44,955 Speaker 1: you have decided porn or atheism or wokeness or democrats 393 00:31:45,195 --> 00:31:48,515 Speaker 1: are evil and you must fight them. And then it 394 00:31:48,595 --> 00:31:54,315 Speaker 1: turns out you collect porn and you frequent I don't know, 395 00:31:54,435 --> 00:31:59,035 Speaker 1: transgendered prostitutes, and you commit these sins in your own life, 396 00:31:59,075 --> 00:32:02,435 Speaker 1: and you decide you've been a bad boy, and this 397 00:32:02,515 --> 00:32:05,035 Speaker 1: makes you anti God and woke and maybe even a 398 00:32:05,075 --> 00:32:10,515 Speaker 1: democrat in your mind. In your mind, you are in 399 00:32:10,635 --> 00:32:14,915 Speaker 1: a kind of moral basketball game, and each one of 400 00:32:14,955 --> 00:32:18,875 Speaker 1: your sins is two points scored against you. So obviously 401 00:32:18,915 --> 00:32:22,075 Speaker 1: the solution is not to stop committing what you think 402 00:32:22,195 --> 00:32:25,515 Speaker 1: is a sin. That wouldn't work and it could never 403 00:32:25,555 --> 00:32:30,075 Speaker 1: be enough. You just must score more points on the 404 00:32:30,155 --> 00:32:34,115 Speaker 1: anti sin scoreboard. Then you give up on the sin scoreboard, 405 00:32:34,355 --> 00:32:37,595 Speaker 1: so you start shooting threes. You demand the purge of 406 00:32:37,715 --> 00:32:41,875 Speaker 1: gays and banning transgender care and banning abortion and putting 407 00:32:41,915 --> 00:32:44,515 Speaker 1: up the Ten Commandments in the schools and pimping for 408 00:32:44,595 --> 00:32:47,315 Speaker 1: libs of TikTok and Trump, and you point up at 409 00:32:47,315 --> 00:32:51,395 Speaker 1: that scoreboard and it's suddenly anti sin one hundred sin 410 00:32:51,835 --> 00:32:56,115 Speaker 1: ninety eight. You won, And that means you haven't committed 411 00:32:56,155 --> 00:32:59,435 Speaker 1: any sins, because the net effect of your life is 412 00:32:59,475 --> 00:33:03,555 Speaker 1: anti sin one hundred to ninety eight two points doesn't matter. 413 00:33:03,555 --> 00:33:05,955 Speaker 1: If it's two points, you can't be guilty of sin. 414 00:33:06,155 --> 00:33:13,275 Speaker 1: Look at all those anti sin points. In fact, my 415 00:33:13,395 --> 00:33:16,315 Speaker 1: friend went on, if you've done so much anti sin 416 00:33:16,915 --> 00:33:20,475 Speaker 1: campaigning my term again, that the scoreboard says anti sin 417 00:33:20,595 --> 00:33:24,795 Speaker 1: two hundred points, pro sin ninety eight points, you may 418 00:33:24,955 --> 00:33:28,355 Speaker 1: very well say to yourself, great, I can go out 419 00:33:28,395 --> 00:33:30,955 Speaker 1: and commit eighty more points of sin now, and I'll 420 00:33:30,995 --> 00:33:35,875 Speaker 1: still be anti sin. You see God, see Mommy, see Daddy, 421 00:33:36,755 --> 00:33:42,475 Speaker 1: see my own conscience. I'm still more anti sin than 422 00:33:42,595 --> 00:33:48,275 Speaker 1: pro sin. I covered the spread. Oh god, don't say spread. 423 00:33:50,555 --> 00:33:54,835 Speaker 1: In this construction. The Ryan Walters kind of guy just 424 00:33:54,955 --> 00:34:00,715 Speaker 1: gave up about ten pro sin points playing porn on 425 00:34:00,755 --> 00:34:04,435 Speaker 1: a loop in your office during your Board of Education 426 00:34:05,235 --> 00:34:12,195 Speaker 1: executive session. That's at least ten points. In fact, you 427 00:34:12,315 --> 00:34:17,475 Speaker 1: may have just blown the lead. Oh god, don't say blown. 428 00:34:17,555 --> 00:34:26,395 Speaker 1: That's another two points. Exit Ryan Walters.

Hadn't thought of that, had you? While you're 435 00:34:50,555 --> 00:34:53,195 Speaker 1: still worried about Colbert, you may have missed that part 436 00:34:53,235 --> 00:34:56,595 Speaker 1: where CBS and the Ellisons and new boss Jeff Shell 437 00:34:56,675 --> 00:35:00,635 Speaker 1: of the CBS Whorehouse have committed a real Goebels level 438 00:35:00,675 --> 00:35:03,515 Speaker 1: assault on the First Amendment.

But the winners, the FCC chairman and those 499 00:40:15,875 --> 00:40:18,955 Speaker 1: who are still complaining about the cancelation of the Stephen 500 00:40:18,995 --> 00:40:27,075 Speaker 1: Colbert Show next May, Yeah, he silenced him. It's a 501 00:40:27,355 --> 00:40:30,715 Speaker 1: criminal conspiracy against Stephen Colbert. You can only say whatever 502 00:40:30,715 --> 00:40:34,435 Speaker 1: he wants for the next nine months. Doesn't seem to 503 00:40:34,435 --> 00:40:37,035 Speaker 1: me to be a very effective way of silencing somebody. 504 00:40:37,115 --> 00:40:39,795 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to defend the Trump administration on this, 505 00:40:39,955 --> 00:40:42,755 Speaker 1: but stop giving them goddamn credit for pulling this off. 506 00:40:42,955 --> 00:40:49,195 Speaker 1: This is CBS doing this and market forces. You got 507 00:40:49,235 --> 00:40:53,835 Speaker 1: a thousand things to complain about like this while you 508 00:40:53,915 --> 00:40:59,995 Speaker 1: are paying attention to Stephen Colbert. The FCC is not 509 00:41:00,195 --> 00:41:03,395 Speaker 1: doing anything about silencing Stephen Colbert ten months from now. 510 00:41:03,795 --> 00:41:08,315 Speaker 1: The FCC has proved the CBS sky Dance, sky Dong 511 00:41:08,755 --> 00:41:13,315 Speaker 1: Sky Paramount. Whatever the merger is, it has been approved 512 00:41:13,395 --> 00:41:15,835 Speaker 1: and will be run by some of the worst people 513 00:41:15,875 --> 00:41:21,075 Speaker 1: in America, the Ellisons. The degenerate ex friend of mine, 514 00:41:21,195 --> 00:41:25,155 Speaker 1: Jeff Schell, who was chairman of NBC for like two weeks, 515 00:41:25,435 --> 00:41:28,955 Speaker 1: then got fired and started to pursue a lawsuit because 516 00:41:28,995 --> 00:41:31,915 Speaker 1: he was unfairly fired, and then dropped the lawsuit without 517 00:41:31,915 --> 00:41:40,475 Speaker 1: any money. CBS, the new ownership, the Sherry Redstone Group, 518 00:41:40,675 --> 00:41:46,555 Speaker 1: is installing what amounts to an in house political compliance 519 00:41:46,675 --> 00:41:51,555 Speaker 1: officer inside CBS News. This is not somebody reporting to Trump. 520 00:41:51,715 --> 00:41:54,835 Speaker 1: This is somebody reporting to the board of directors of 521 00:41:54,875 --> 00:42:00,355 Speaker 1: the new CBS ownership, who'll be standing over the news saying, now, 522 00:42:00,395 --> 00:42:03,675 Speaker 1: you can't say that it's not pro conservative. Now you 523 00:42:03,755 --> 00:42:09,035 Speaker 1: can't say that favors them minorities. Quote The New York Times. 524 00:42:09,275 --> 00:42:13,755 Speaker 1: In recent days, sky Dance took steps to assuage FCC 525 00:42:14,115 --> 00:42:19,355 Speaker 1: chief Brendan Josef Goebel's car. Times didn't call him that 526 00:42:19,435 --> 00:42:22,315 Speaker 1: I did, telling the agency that it would install an 527 00:42:22,355 --> 00:42:26,115 Speaker 1: official at the news division to ensure fairness in its 528 00:42:26,195 --> 00:42:30,275 Speaker 1: journalism and committing to avoiding diversity, equity and inclusion programs 529 00:42:30,475 --> 00:42:34,395 Speaker 1: at the company. In his statement, mister Carr lauded these steps, 530 00:42:34,475 --> 00:42:36,595 Speaker 1: and by the way, mister Carr has his job because 531 00:42:36,595 --> 00:42:40,715 Speaker 1: of a DEI program which admits people with IQ's under ten. 532 00:42:41,395 --> 00:42:44,195 Speaker 1: In his statement, mister Carr lauded these steps, saying they 533 00:42:44,235 --> 00:42:48,435 Speaker 1: would begin the process of earning back Americans trust. Carr, 534 00:42:48,515 --> 00:42:51,195 Speaker 1: the chairman of the FCC, said in a statement that 535 00:42:51,235 --> 00:42:53,915 Speaker 1: the agency had approved the deal after receiving assurances from 536 00:42:53,955 --> 00:42:58,435 Speaker 1: Skydance that the new company would be committed to unbiased journalism, 537 00:42:58,955 --> 00:43:03,715 Speaker 1: which means, of course, Car that they will be committed 538 00:43:03,755 --> 00:43:08,635 Speaker 1: to bias journalism, pro Trump journalism, pro fascism, turn journalism, 539 00:43:08,835 --> 00:43:15,155 Speaker 1: pro Nazi journalism. Americans no longer trust the legacy national 540 00:43:15,195 --> 00:43:20,635 Speaker 1: news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly, mister Carr 541 00:43:20,635 --> 00:43:23,995 Speaker 1: said in his statement, it is time for a change. 542 00:43:24,155 --> 00:43:26,715 Speaker 1: That is why I welcome sky Dance's commitment to make 543 00:43:26,715 --> 00:43:31,195 Speaker 1: significant changes at the once storied CBS broadcast network. Car 544 00:43:31,235 --> 00:43:33,995 Speaker 1: doesn't even realize that in his statement, he's acknowledging that 545 00:43:34,075 --> 00:43:36,675 Speaker 1: after he's gotten through with it, CBS will no longer 546 00:43:36,715 --> 00:43:44,915 Speaker 1: be storied except as a whorehouse. This is CBS a whorehouse. Listen, 547 00:43:45,395 --> 00:43:50,155 Speaker 1: Josef Goebbels. You don't trust them because they have been 548 00:43:51,155 --> 00:43:55,115 Speaker 1: since the inception in the twenties, they have been reporting fully, 549 00:43:55,155 --> 00:43:59,515 Speaker 1: accurately and fairly. And if that is allowed to continue, 550 00:43:59,555 --> 00:44:04,075 Speaker 1: those attributes will dethrone Trump and scumbags like you Car. 551 00:44:04,315 --> 00:44:08,155 Speaker 1: And by the way, if you don't like the Gobels comparison, 552 00:44:08,475 --> 00:44:13,675 Speaker 1: maybe you should stop the Gobels stuff. Asshole Brendan or 553 00:44:13,715 --> 00:44:18,755 Speaker 1: if you prefer, call him Dolores Umbradge Car two Day's 554 00:44:18,955 --> 00:44:44,035 Speaker 1: other worst person to the number one story on the 555 00:44:44,035 --> 00:44:46,675 Speaker 1: Countdown and things I promised not to tell, and sometimes 556 00:44:46,715 --> 00:44:49,395 Speaker 1: that becomes things I am all too happy to tell, 557 00:44:49,475 --> 00:44:52,435 Speaker 1: and this is one of those. About a month ago 558 00:44:52,755 --> 00:44:55,995 Speaker 1: I got an email from a man who said he 559 00:44:56,035 --> 00:44:59,675 Speaker 1: was a documentary film producer and director and was producing 560 00:44:59,755 --> 00:45:04,315 Speaker 1: and directing a documentary film, Surprisingly Enough, about democracy, about 561 00:45:04,755 --> 00:45:07,915 Speaker 1: people in favor of democracy and those who had gone 562 00:45:07,955 --> 00:45:12,955 Speaker 1: to some personal effort to save democracy, Tom Morello from 563 00:45:13,075 --> 00:45:16,035 Speaker 1: Rage Against the Machine. He said he'd already interviewed him. 564 00:45:16,275 --> 00:45:21,315 Speaker 1: He'd interviewed the great environmentalist and protester Peter Coyote, also 565 00:45:21,355 --> 00:45:26,235 Speaker 1: the great actor and voiceover actor and voiceover documentarian Peter 566 00:45:26,315 --> 00:45:28,635 Speaker 1: Coyote and many others on a great list, and he 567 00:45:28,755 --> 00:45:31,635 Speaker 1: now wanted to interview me. And if that were not 568 00:45:31,875 --> 00:45:35,475 Speaker 1: enough for me to say yes, Bobby Roth is the 569 00:45:35,515 --> 00:45:41,235 Speaker 1: man's name. And Bobby was and remains the director of 570 00:45:41,395 --> 00:45:45,235 Speaker 1: the only motion picture I am actually in as an 571 00:45:45,275 --> 00:45:50,155 Speaker 1: actor in nineteen eighty seven. Bobby did. And this is 572 00:45:50,875 --> 00:45:57,395 Speaker 1: something of a conflict of terminology here a great golf film. 573 00:45:57,835 --> 00:46:01,595 Speaker 1: It is my contention that great golf films don't generally exist. 574 00:46:01,955 --> 00:46:04,835 Speaker 1: Golf is to me, not a means of conveying any 575 00:46:05,475 --> 00:46:07,755 Speaker 1: if you're playing it, God bless you. It's a great 576 00:46:07,835 --> 00:46:11,915 Speaker 1: sport and good exercise, and not too much exercise. But 577 00:46:12,035 --> 00:46:14,515 Speaker 1: it's a great sport if you're playing it. I never 578 00:46:14,595 --> 00:46:18,115 Speaker 1: particularly enjoyed the long game, but the putting game is 579 00:46:18,195 --> 00:46:22,355 Speaker 1: fascinating to me. I wouldn't watch golf at gunpoint in 580 00:46:22,435 --> 00:46:27,315 Speaker 1: any event. He took the wonderful story of Dead Solid 581 00:46:27,435 --> 00:46:32,235 Speaker 1: Perfect by Roy Jenkins, one of Roy Jenkins's golf novels, 582 00:46:33,675 --> 00:46:35,915 Speaker 1: and took it and adapted it and made it into 583 00:46:35,995 --> 00:46:38,835 Speaker 1: a film for HBO in nineteen eighty seven, and it's 584 00:46:38,875 --> 00:46:42,635 Speaker 1: the damnedest movie you'd ever want to see about golf. 585 00:46:43,075 --> 00:46:45,675 Speaker 1: A as we used to say at ESPN, moves like 586 00:46:45,715 --> 00:46:49,755 Speaker 1: a rocket. It's not like golf. There's no slow play, 587 00:46:50,355 --> 00:46:52,915 Speaker 1: it's not boring. It's not a bunch of guys contemplating 588 00:46:52,955 --> 00:46:56,395 Speaker 1: their nabels and the exact lie of the putt. It's 589 00:46:56,395 --> 00:47:00,515 Speaker 1: not like that. It's about golf as a competitive, cutthroat 590 00:47:00,595 --> 00:47:03,715 Speaker 1: industry with terrible people in it and some good ones 591 00:47:04,995 --> 00:47:09,435 Speaker 1: and some funny ones. And so he approached me in 592 00:47:09,555 --> 00:47:11,955 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven, when I was a local sportscaster in 593 00:47:11,995 --> 00:47:14,995 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and had dark hair and was twenty eight 594 00:47:15,075 --> 00:47:19,435 Speaker 1: years old, and asked me to be announcer number one. 595 00:47:20,435 --> 00:47:22,915 Speaker 1: I was to play a golf announcer, and this was 596 00:47:22,955 --> 00:47:24,595 Speaker 1: going to be a stretch because I was not a 597 00:47:24,595 --> 00:47:29,395 Speaker 1: golf announcer. He gave me a copy of the script. 598 00:47:29,515 --> 00:47:33,075 Speaker 1: We met at the Hollywood Masonic Temple near Channel five 599 00:47:33,155 --> 00:47:36,035 Speaker 1: in LA I got to watch him film a scene 600 00:47:36,115 --> 00:47:39,035 Speaker 1: a press conference. I got to meet the star of 601 00:47:39,075 --> 00:47:42,315 Speaker 1: the movie and a couple of the second and third leads. 602 00:47:42,435 --> 00:47:44,995 Speaker 1: The star of the movie was a very good, very 603 00:47:45,195 --> 00:47:48,035 Speaker 1: nice man, a very good actor whose work I had 604 00:47:48,035 --> 00:47:50,275 Speaker 1: seen dating back to my days in high school, A 605 00:47:50,315 --> 00:47:56,715 Speaker 1: great guy named Randy Quaid, who was one hundred percent 606 00:47:57,195 --> 00:48:02,075 Speaker 1: lovely to me. This is long before things began to deteriorate, 607 00:48:02,075 --> 00:48:04,555 Speaker 1: but even after they did, he was one hundred percent 608 00:48:04,795 --> 00:48:08,035 Speaker 1: lovely to me. And of all the maga stuff I've 609 00:48:08,035 --> 00:48:11,675 Speaker 1: ever seen, the least explicable one is what it did 610 00:48:11,715 --> 00:48:16,875 Speaker 1: to Randy Quaid, also an extraordinarily gifted actor. And if 611 00:48:16,875 --> 00:48:19,835 Speaker 1: you don't believe me, go see the last detail. It's 612 00:48:19,915 --> 00:48:23,835 Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson's film, probably his last small part, and Randy 613 00:48:23,915 --> 00:48:28,315 Speaker 1: Quaid overwhelms him. It's Randy Quaid's film. I'll leave it 614 00:48:28,355 --> 00:48:31,955 Speaker 1: at that. So Bobby Roth hands me a script and says, 615 00:48:32,155 --> 00:48:34,515 Speaker 1: here are your lines, and go home and learn them, 616 00:48:34,755 --> 00:48:38,755 Speaker 1: and we'll see you at the Valencia Golf Club at 617 00:48:39,035 --> 00:48:41,035 Speaker 1: four o'clock in the morning on such and such a 618 00:48:41,115 --> 00:48:46,875 Speaker 1: date summer of nineteen eighty seven, I think July, maybe August. 619 00:48:47,555 --> 00:48:51,755 Speaker 1: I get there no sleep, having carefully learned, announce your 620 00:48:51,835 --> 00:48:56,195 Speaker 1: number one's lines. I'm going to be in a movie 621 00:48:56,275 --> 00:48:59,635 Speaker 1: on HBO. That's when a new HBO film was a 622 00:48:59,755 --> 00:49:01,995 Speaker 1: rarity and a big deal, and it usually would then 623 00:49:02,035 --> 00:49:06,075 Speaker 1: get a theatrical release somewhere and it live in perpetuity 624 00:49:06,475 --> 00:49:10,035 Speaker 1: on syndicated television. And it was just fun. And I 625 00:49:10,075 --> 00:49:12,155 Speaker 1: did say to him, you know, I'm not a member 626 00:49:12,195 --> 00:49:14,475 Speaker 1: of the Screen Actors Guild. And at that point, after 627 00:49:14,715 --> 00:49:19,275 Speaker 1: the TV Actors and TV Performers Union was not merged 628 00:49:19,275 --> 00:49:21,075 Speaker 1: with the Screen Actors Guild, you had to be in 629 00:49:21,155 --> 00:49:23,315 Speaker 1: both separately. I said, I'm not a member. We'll pay 630 00:49:23,355 --> 00:49:25,995 Speaker 1: for your initiation fee. Well, I mean they were giving 631 00:49:26,035 --> 00:49:28,355 Speaker 1: me maybe five thousand dollars to be in the film, 632 00:49:28,755 --> 00:49:32,475 Speaker 1: and the initiation fee was probably five thousand and two dollars. 633 00:49:33,675 --> 00:49:35,915 Speaker 1: They paid both just to get me in the film. 634 00:49:35,955 --> 00:49:39,595 Speaker 1: He really wanted me, he was a fan. And so 635 00:49:39,715 --> 00:49:42,115 Speaker 1: I show up and I've learned Announcer number one's lines, 636 00:49:42,275 --> 00:49:45,955 Speaker 1: and they introduced me to the other guy playing announcer 637 00:49:46,075 --> 00:49:50,315 Speaker 1: number one and I said, no, I'm playing announcer number one, 638 00:49:50,435 --> 00:49:52,315 Speaker 1: and they said, no, this is Don Morrow. You may 639 00:49:52,355 --> 00:49:56,235 Speaker 1: remember Don from such TV commercials as the Shell answer man. 640 00:49:56,715 --> 00:50:00,995 Speaker 1: Don Morrow had a perfect voice. Don Morrow was, Hey, 641 00:50:01,075 --> 00:50:04,235 Speaker 1: I'm Don Morrow. And Don used to do these commercials 642 00:50:04,275 --> 00:50:06,595 Speaker 1: for Shelle gasoline in which he would stand there on 643 00:50:06,715 --> 00:50:10,115 Speaker 1: a road with a clipboard and a white doctor's smock 644 00:50:10,195 --> 00:50:12,715 Speaker 1: down to his ankles and explain to you that you 645 00:50:12,715 --> 00:50:16,715 Speaker 1: should not drive while watching television and that you should 646 00:50:16,795 --> 00:50:19,275 Speaker 1: probably remember to put gas in the car and you 647 00:50:19,315 --> 00:50:24,315 Speaker 1: should use shell. That was the shell answer man or 648 00:50:25,395 --> 00:50:28,475 Speaker 1: mister A h of Akron, Ohio writes in and says 649 00:50:28,475 --> 00:50:32,355 Speaker 1: his tires are on fire. What should he do? It's 650 00:50:32,435 --> 00:50:35,435 Speaker 1: very simple. Go to here nearest shell dealer and buy 651 00:50:35,475 --> 00:50:39,515 Speaker 1: new ones. Try to put the fire out first. That 652 00:50:39,675 --> 00:50:42,315 Speaker 1: was the commercials. It made him a fortune, and he 653 00:50:42,355 --> 00:50:45,275 Speaker 1: did thousands of other voiceovers for commercials. That was the 654 00:50:45,275 --> 00:50:47,795 Speaker 1: one he was on camera for. But now I am 655 00:50:47,875 --> 00:50:50,555 Speaker 1: noticing a problem even though I am operating on fumes, 656 00:50:50,555 --> 00:50:53,355 Speaker 1: no sleep, and I'm terrified because I haven't acted since 657 00:50:53,435 --> 00:50:57,155 Speaker 1: high school. And here I am with a professional crew 658 00:50:57,675 --> 00:51:00,035 Speaker 1: and there are hundreds of them there at the golf 659 00:51:00,115 --> 00:51:02,475 Speaker 1: club at that hour of the day, and they are 660 00:51:02,475 --> 00:51:05,635 Speaker 1: awaiting the arrival of my new friend Randy Quaid, who's 661 00:51:05,675 --> 00:51:07,995 Speaker 1: due to shoot that morning and is coming in early 662 00:51:08,595 --> 00:51:10,915 Speaker 1: to visit with me. He wants to see us shoot 663 00:51:10,955 --> 00:51:16,835 Speaker 1: this scene because he's a fan of mine. But a 664 00:51:16,955 --> 00:51:21,435 Speaker 1: problem has arisen. I have learned Announcer number one's line. Meanwhile, 665 00:51:21,475 --> 00:51:24,915 Speaker 1: the casting agent for the film has cast another announcer, 666 00:51:24,995 --> 00:51:28,395 Speaker 1: number one, Don Morrow. I said, what do we do 667 00:51:28,475 --> 00:51:31,995 Speaker 1: about this, mister Morrow. They'll figure it out, and he 668 00:51:32,035 --> 00:51:34,675 Speaker 1: went back to reading his newspaper and drinking cup after 669 00:51:34,875 --> 00:51:38,395 Speaker 1: a coffee after cup out of coffee. Sure enough, the 670 00:51:39,075 --> 00:51:41,755 Speaker 1: second unit director comes over. She has no idea who 671 00:51:41,755 --> 00:51:44,595 Speaker 1: I am. She has a large nineteen eighty seven style 672 00:51:44,675 --> 00:51:47,075 Speaker 1: walkie talkie, big enough that if she hits you in 673 00:51:47,075 --> 00:51:50,595 Speaker 1: the head with it you would lose consciousness. And she says, Hi, 674 00:51:50,795 --> 00:51:53,755 Speaker 1: I'm Eileen or whatever her name was. I'm the second 675 00:51:53,835 --> 00:51:55,715 Speaker 1: unit director, and we have a little bit of a problem, 676 00:51:55,755 --> 00:51:57,475 Speaker 1: and it's our fault. Don't worry about it. But we 677 00:51:57,515 --> 00:52:01,075 Speaker 1: have two announcers number one and zero announcers number two. 678 00:52:01,875 --> 00:52:04,315 Speaker 1: How soon do you think you could learn the lines 679 00:52:04,315 --> 00:52:07,075 Speaker 1: for an hournounce your number two? Because apparently that was 680 00:52:07,075 --> 00:52:09,315 Speaker 1: the original intention here, and we just screwed it up. 681 00:52:10,715 --> 00:52:14,875 Speaker 1: And I said, uh, you know, in high school, we 682 00:52:14,955 --> 00:52:17,515 Speaker 1: did the odd couple and I did a couple of 683 00:52:17,595 --> 00:52:21,515 Speaker 1: ad libs with movement that occurred to me in the 684 00:52:21,555 --> 00:52:24,755 Speaker 1: moment on stage, and they got roars of laughter from 685 00:52:24,755 --> 00:52:27,155 Speaker 1: the crowd and the advisor, who was also the advisor 686 00:52:27,315 --> 00:52:29,435 Speaker 1: to the newspaper in the yearbook in the radio station, 687 00:52:29,715 --> 00:52:32,715 Speaker 1: took me aside afterwards and said, af the sportscasting thing, 688 00:52:32,755 --> 00:52:34,675 Speaker 1: you should be an actor. You have all the instincts 689 00:52:34,675 --> 00:52:36,995 Speaker 1: we could never teach you. And I almost went that way, 690 00:52:37,035 --> 00:52:39,395 Speaker 1: but the next time we did the show, somebody lost 691 00:52:39,435 --> 00:52:42,035 Speaker 1: their lines and froze on stage and went backstage and 692 00:52:42,075 --> 00:52:44,675 Speaker 1: started screaming and crying, and I never wanted to be 693 00:52:44,715 --> 00:52:46,875 Speaker 1: that close to it ever again. So I haven't acted 694 00:52:46,915 --> 00:52:49,555 Speaker 1: since then, but I was very good in nineteen seventy five. 695 00:52:49,595 --> 00:52:52,235 Speaker 1: It's nineteen eighty seven now and I haven't done any 696 00:52:52,275 --> 00:52:55,715 Speaker 1: acting in the interim, so I can probably learn announce 697 00:52:55,755 --> 00:52:58,515 Speaker 1: your number twos lines in let's see what day is, 698 00:52:58,595 --> 00:53:02,475 Speaker 1: this is Tuesday, by next Monday. And she looked at 699 00:53:02,475 --> 00:53:05,395 Speaker 1: me and smiled and went, I'll get right back to you. 700 00:53:06,035 --> 00:53:08,875 Speaker 1: And she went over and conferred with Don Morrow. How 701 00:53:08,955 --> 00:53:11,515 Speaker 1: soon do you think you could learn announcer number two's lines. 702 00:53:11,555 --> 00:53:13,115 Speaker 1: We'll just switch it up here and you can be 703 00:53:13,155 --> 00:53:17,195 Speaker 1: the golf expert. And he went, I don't need any time, 704 00:53:17,475 --> 00:53:19,075 Speaker 1: I can do it right. Well, we can do it 705 00:53:19,155 --> 00:53:22,595 Speaker 1: right now, and she went really but you don't even 706 00:53:22,635 --> 00:53:24,515 Speaker 1: have the lines in front of you. Well, I will 707 00:53:24,555 --> 00:53:28,995 Speaker 1: need a pair of scissors, some scotch tape, and a 708 00:53:29,035 --> 00:53:32,355 Speaker 1: second copy of the script, oh in a nice permanent 709 00:53:32,395 --> 00:53:36,555 Speaker 1: marker please, and every room, everybody in this room where 710 00:53:36,555 --> 00:53:41,115 Speaker 1: we were waiting this tent, because of course, Valencia, California, 711 00:53:41,195 --> 00:53:43,755 Speaker 1: in late July early August is the only place in 712 00:53:43,795 --> 00:53:46,435 Speaker 1: California at that time of year where the humidity will 713 00:53:46,435 --> 00:53:48,795 Speaker 1: go up. So it's not even light yet, and it's 714 00:53:48,795 --> 00:53:51,635 Speaker 1: probably ninety degrees and ninety percent humidity, which never happens 715 00:53:51,635 --> 00:53:54,675 Speaker 1: in southern California, and we are already baking, and every 716 00:53:54,755 --> 00:53:57,315 Speaker 1: face in that room is now contemplating the prospect of 717 00:53:57,355 --> 00:54:00,515 Speaker 1: having to stay even longer in this heat because they 718 00:54:00,555 --> 00:54:02,955 Speaker 1: screwed up and cast two announcers number one and no 719 00:54:02,995 --> 00:54:07,195 Speaker 1: announcer number two. And Don Morrow has just saved them 720 00:54:07,195 --> 00:54:10,995 Speaker 1: from this by saying all he needs is a pair 721 00:54:10,995 --> 00:54:13,715 Speaker 1: of scissors, scotch tape, a second copy of the script, 722 00:54:13,755 --> 00:54:18,795 Speaker 1: and a permanent magic marker. And I'm thinking, boy, oh boy, 723 00:54:18,835 --> 00:54:23,195 Speaker 1: I've heard of the Lee Strasburg School in the hebel 724 00:54:23,275 --> 00:54:29,195 Speaker 1: La Galienn School, And what's the thing where you inhabit 725 00:54:29,755 --> 00:54:32,555 Speaker 1: the character, and there's something a couple of other ones, 726 00:54:32,555 --> 00:54:35,595 Speaker 1: but I've never heard of the scotch tape and scissors 727 00:54:35,595 --> 00:54:39,395 Speaker 1: school of acting. I gotta see this. We go out 728 00:54:39,435 --> 00:54:43,195 Speaker 1: onto the set. There is Don, who's a lovely guy, 729 00:54:44,875 --> 00:54:47,795 Speaker 1: and he's got his scissors and his extra copy of 730 00:54:47,835 --> 00:54:50,395 Speaker 1: the script and his scotch tape and his marker, and 731 00:54:50,515 --> 00:54:52,755 Speaker 1: we sit on the set where we're going to do 732 00:54:52,835 --> 00:54:55,955 Speaker 1: this scene, which we are the golf announcers. It is 733 00:54:56,315 --> 00:54:58,835 Speaker 1: if you've ever seen a golf tournament on television, even 734 00:54:58,875 --> 00:55:01,635 Speaker 1: for a minute. They used to and it's less so 735 00:55:01,915 --> 00:55:03,835 Speaker 1: like this now, but they used to sit in one 736 00:55:04,235 --> 00:55:09,035 Speaker 1: central location out built out on the first hole or 737 00:55:09,075 --> 00:55:12,395 Speaker 1: the eighteenth or somewhere prominent on a golf course, and 738 00:55:12,515 --> 00:55:16,795 Speaker 1: it would be a small outdoor set that looked rather 739 00:55:16,995 --> 00:55:19,915 Speaker 1: like an election night set. It was that big, that crowded, 740 00:55:19,915 --> 00:55:22,355 Speaker 1: and full of that much crap and extra people sitting 741 00:55:22,355 --> 00:55:26,115 Speaker 1: out there keeping track of where golfers are at various places. 742 00:55:26,155 --> 00:55:29,075 Speaker 1: It's far more intricate than it looks, and to my mind, 743 00:55:29,795 --> 00:55:32,675 Speaker 1: televising that main set would be far more interesting than 744 00:55:32,715 --> 00:55:36,955 Speaker 1: televising a golf tournament, unless it was just putts okay, 745 00:55:36,995 --> 00:55:41,675 Speaker 1: I used that joke a thousand times now. So we 746 00:55:41,795 --> 00:55:44,995 Speaker 1: go out there and it's a wonderfully appointed set. It's 747 00:55:45,035 --> 00:55:48,355 Speaker 1: beautifully dressed by these guys who have left no stone 748 00:55:48,395 --> 00:55:50,955 Speaker 1: where it should be. There are one hundred and thirty 749 00:55:50,955 --> 00:55:55,395 Speaker 1: four clipboards, there's seventeen monitors pointing in every direction. There's chairs, 750 00:55:55,435 --> 00:56:00,515 Speaker 1: there's extras, there's pens, there's golf clubs, there's weather maps, 751 00:56:00,835 --> 00:56:06,515 Speaker 1: there's course maps. It's just full of debris from a 752 00:56:06,515 --> 00:56:11,795 Speaker 1: golf tournament. And now Don asks me to sit where 753 00:56:11,835 --> 00:56:13,995 Speaker 1: I'm going to sit during the shot. And he said, 754 00:56:14,115 --> 00:56:16,475 Speaker 1: will you be leaning and when you move, just lean 755 00:56:16,515 --> 00:56:18,675 Speaker 1: as far forward as you think you're probably gonna move 756 00:56:18,755 --> 00:56:21,835 Speaker 1: during during the two shots, and I leaned. He went, okay, 757 00:56:21,835 --> 00:56:25,595 Speaker 1: got it. He now cuts out the first line of 758 00:56:25,595 --> 00:56:27,915 Speaker 1: an oouncer number two, and in the left side of 759 00:56:27,955 --> 00:56:31,075 Speaker 1: it writes the number one and circles it with his 760 00:56:31,155 --> 00:56:34,075 Speaker 1: magic marker. He gets out his scotch tape and he 761 00:56:34,235 --> 00:56:38,195 Speaker 1: tapes the line to a monitor which he can see 762 00:56:38,235 --> 00:56:40,755 Speaker 1: when he looks at me. It is about head high 763 00:56:40,995 --> 00:56:44,355 Speaker 1: where my head is, but behind me by about five feet. 764 00:56:45,075 --> 00:56:47,555 Speaker 1: And now on it is the first line for anouncer 765 00:56:47,635 --> 00:56:49,795 Speaker 1: number two. So when he has to give an Ouncer 766 00:56:49,915 --> 00:56:52,875 Speaker 1: number two's first line, don is in fact reading it 767 00:56:52,955 --> 00:56:56,035 Speaker 1: from a teleprompter that only has his first line on it. 768 00:56:56,755 --> 00:57:00,755 Speaker 1: He now tapes line number two about, oh, I don't know, 769 00:57:00,955 --> 00:57:04,995 Speaker 1: eight nine degrees clockwise of there, so that it's out 770 00:57:05,115 --> 00:57:08,235 Speaker 1: towards where I would look if I look slightly to 771 00:57:08,315 --> 00:57:11,515 Speaker 1: my left. Line number three he now cuts out and 772 00:57:11,555 --> 00:57:14,595 Speaker 1: marks and tapes right in front of me so that 773 00:57:14,675 --> 00:57:16,395 Speaker 1: he can sort of look at me and then look 774 00:57:16,435 --> 00:57:19,075 Speaker 1: forward towards the course, and on the monitor in front 775 00:57:19,115 --> 00:57:21,235 Speaker 1: of me is his line number three, and so on 776 00:57:21,315 --> 00:57:25,795 Speaker 1: and so on, until in like a sprinkler pattern around 777 00:57:25,835 --> 00:57:29,275 Speaker 1: this set, all of his twelve lines as Announcer number two, 778 00:57:29,595 --> 00:57:32,755 Speaker 1: which he didn't learn and I didn't learn, are in 779 00:57:32,915 --> 00:57:36,875 Speaker 1: an array that goes from left over my shoulder to 780 00:57:37,195 --> 00:57:42,115 Speaker 1: right over where I would be looking when I looked 781 00:57:42,155 --> 00:57:46,915 Speaker 1: at Dawn genius, I tells you, and I said, so 782 00:57:47,035 --> 00:57:49,915 Speaker 1: you've done this before? Oh? Yes, Many times I said, 783 00:57:49,915 --> 00:57:52,035 Speaker 1: have you done this before where they've screwed up and 784 00:57:52,075 --> 00:57:54,795 Speaker 1: they've changed the lines at the last minute. Many times 785 00:57:56,275 --> 00:57:58,235 Speaker 1: I said, I'll have to ask you, did they ever 786 00:57:58,275 --> 00:58:01,315 Speaker 1: do this? On the shell? Answer Man commercials you bet 787 00:58:01,395 --> 00:58:05,115 Speaker 1: your ass. I learned a lot about the entertainment industry 788 00:58:05,115 --> 00:58:08,195 Speaker 1: that day that I had not known. In any event, 789 00:58:08,275 --> 00:58:10,755 Speaker 1: Randy Quaid came by and said hello, and as I said, 790 00:58:10,795 --> 00:58:15,115 Speaker 1: he was one hundred percent wonderful to me and was 791 00:58:15,155 --> 00:58:19,635 Speaker 1: a fan and was delightful and had comments about some 792 00:58:19,755 --> 00:58:22,315 Speaker 1: of the sports casts I did and the bits that 793 00:58:22,355 --> 00:58:25,195 Speaker 1: I'd done that bordered on acting. He went, have you 794 00:58:25,195 --> 00:58:27,355 Speaker 1: ever considered being an actor? I mean, you really probably 795 00:58:27,395 --> 00:58:28,915 Speaker 1: could follow it off, I went, I'm not going down 796 00:58:28,915 --> 00:58:31,035 Speaker 1: this path again. The last time I did this, another 797 00:58:31,035 --> 00:58:33,035 Speaker 1: actor wound up screaming and crying in the back of 798 00:58:33,035 --> 00:58:35,955 Speaker 1: the set. Okay, okay, you're doing a great job. Don't 799 00:58:35,955 --> 00:58:40,195 Speaker 1: tell you, don't change anything. I'll look for you at 800 00:58:40,195 --> 00:58:45,995 Speaker 1: the premiere. So now I leave, and it's like, well, 801 00:58:46,195 --> 00:58:49,235 Speaker 1: that's Hollywood. I don't know how much money they have 802 00:58:49,315 --> 00:58:51,075 Speaker 1: spent to get me to play a part I was 803 00:58:51,115 --> 00:58:53,875 Speaker 1: not supposed to part a play. I don't know what 804 00:58:53,915 --> 00:58:56,675 Speaker 1: they've spent on Don Morrow. But now I've met Don 805 00:58:56,715 --> 00:58:58,635 Speaker 1: and he's become a friend of mine, and maybe now 806 00:58:58,635 --> 00:59:01,475 Speaker 1: I can start my career in the voiceover industry, which 807 00:59:01,515 --> 00:59:04,195 Speaker 1: he mentions in passing is kind of lucrative, and the 808 00:59:04,235 --> 00:59:06,475 Speaker 1: months go oh by, and Bobby goes and edits it, 809 00:59:06,515 --> 00:59:08,795 Speaker 1: and apparently it's going to make its premiere on HBO 810 00:59:08,955 --> 00:59:14,275 Speaker 1: sometime around Christmas, and at some point in November, the 811 00:59:14,355 --> 00:59:18,635 Speaker 1: inevitable call comes, can you make it to a sweetening session? 812 00:59:18,915 --> 00:59:22,555 Speaker 1: Sweetening session is very simply what happens when they decide 813 00:59:22,555 --> 00:59:25,115 Speaker 1: some of the lines in the film are not audible, 814 00:59:25,115 --> 00:59:28,835 Speaker 1: and since we shot outdoors, many of the lines were 815 00:59:28,835 --> 00:59:31,555 Speaker 1: not audible. We had to go and re record Don 816 00:59:31,555 --> 00:59:35,595 Speaker 1: and I some of our golf parlay. And I go 817 00:59:35,715 --> 00:59:37,755 Speaker 1: to this studio in North Hollywood, where I meet the 818 00:59:37,795 --> 00:59:39,715 Speaker 1: engineer who I wound up going out on a couple 819 00:59:39,755 --> 00:59:43,795 Speaker 1: of dates with. She was really nice and very pleasant. 820 00:59:44,475 --> 00:59:49,955 Speaker 1: And we go there and I'm waiting to see my 821 00:59:50,035 --> 00:59:53,995 Speaker 1: new friend Don Morrow, and is Randy going to be here? Now? Oh? 822 00:59:54,035 --> 00:59:58,315 Speaker 1: I like Randy, And in comes Don Morrow. Only it's 823 00:59:58,315 --> 01:00:02,915 Speaker 1: not Don Morrow, who was a substantial guy with a 824 01:00:02,955 --> 01:00:05,515 Speaker 1: great voice, a great set of pipes, but probably about 825 01:00:05,555 --> 01:00:09,115 Speaker 1: five nine, one hundred and thirty five pounds, And instead 826 01:00:09,155 --> 01:00:11,715 Speaker 1: of him, I'm introduced to the guy who's going to 827 01:00:11,755 --> 01:00:15,595 Speaker 1: do his lines for him. Hi, I'm Phil and Phil 828 01:00:15,715 --> 01:00:21,315 Speaker 1: Ish six eight three eighty and I might be understating this, 829 01:00:21,595 --> 01:00:25,515 Speaker 1: but Phil looked like two Dons standing on each other's shoulders, 830 01:00:26,235 --> 01:00:28,275 Speaker 1: And I went, how in the hell does this work? 831 01:00:28,635 --> 01:00:34,115 Speaker 1: Where's Don? Don's at his villa in Spain and I said, 832 01:00:34,195 --> 01:00:37,675 Speaker 1: done as a villa in Spain, because yes, he didn't 833 01:00:37,755 --> 01:00:40,475 Speaker 1: like the one in Switzerland the weather was too cold. 834 01:00:41,315 --> 01:00:44,875 Speaker 1: What yeah, the voiceover job. If you get the echelon 835 01:00:44,995 --> 01:00:48,435 Speaker 1: upper echelon stuff, it pays really well. I have a 836 01:00:48,515 --> 01:00:51,675 Speaker 1: villa in Paris. I was like, what the hell am 837 01:00:51,715 --> 01:00:54,675 Speaker 1: I doing? I'm doing this wrong. I have a one 838 01:00:54,715 --> 01:00:57,875 Speaker 1: bedroom in Beverly Hills and I pay too much for 839 01:00:57,995 --> 01:01:01,275 Speaker 1: that and it's in Beverly Hills. What am I doing wrong? 840 01:01:01,275 --> 01:01:05,395 Speaker 1: While I'm still doing it wrong? But that's besides the point. 841 01:01:07,235 --> 01:01:10,795 Speaker 1: Phil explains that he covers for Don when Don is 842 01:01:10,835 --> 01:01:13,315 Speaker 1: out of the country or unavailable and they need to 843 01:01:13,315 --> 01:01:15,795 Speaker 1: do sweetening or other events in which they have booked 844 01:01:15,875 --> 01:01:18,395 Speaker 1: Don Morrow or want to and he's not there and 845 01:01:18,435 --> 01:01:21,795 Speaker 1: they want the shell answer man. So now they have 846 01:01:21,915 --> 01:01:24,555 Speaker 1: contacted him. And I said, how does this work? You 847 01:01:24,595 --> 01:01:27,035 Speaker 1: do sound or nothing like Don Morrow? And he goes, no, 848 01:01:27,155 --> 01:01:29,595 Speaker 1: and Don doesn't sound anything like me. But he fills 849 01:01:29,635 --> 01:01:35,315 Speaker 1: in for me when I'm not there. Sure enough, we 850 01:01:35,395 --> 01:01:37,955 Speaker 1: go into the studio, comes time for me to read 851 01:01:37,955 --> 01:01:39,555 Speaker 1: a line. I read a line. I look over and 852 01:01:39,555 --> 01:01:41,755 Speaker 1: I go, I don't know how this could possibly work. 853 01:01:41,835 --> 01:01:46,035 Speaker 1: And Phil the Giant, the lumberjack of a man, promptly 854 01:01:46,115 --> 01:01:51,675 Speaker 1: reads Don Morrow's line as if Don were speaking through 855 01:01:51,795 --> 01:01:56,715 Speaker 1: him in some kind of esp thing, in some kind 856 01:01:56,715 --> 01:01:59,675 Speaker 1: of possession thing where he is speaking from a villa 857 01:01:59,755 --> 01:02:04,515 Speaker 1: in Spain via this guy's mouth, and he sounds exactly 858 01:02:04,675 --> 01:02:08,595 Speaker 1: it's the same. And after I get through this existentially 859 01:02:08,715 --> 01:02:13,115 Speaker 1: challenging experience, how could anybody do this impression? I said it? 860 01:02:13,155 --> 01:02:16,155 Speaker 1: And he can do you. Yes, he's probably a little 861 01:02:16,195 --> 01:02:18,275 Speaker 1: better at doing me than I am at doing him. 862 01:02:18,635 --> 01:02:20,355 Speaker 1: And we go home and that's the end of it. 863 01:02:20,395 --> 01:02:22,035 Speaker 1: And the next thing I see is the movie on 864 01:02:22,075 --> 01:02:25,235 Speaker 1: the premiere night. And as I said, this is really 865 01:02:25,275 --> 01:02:30,235 Speaker 1: worth your time. This film, it really is. It's a 866 01:02:30,275 --> 01:02:33,515 Speaker 1: great funny film. Jack Warden, the great actor, is in it. 867 01:02:33,955 --> 01:02:36,395 Speaker 1: The score, one of the first they ever did, was 868 01:02:36,395 --> 01:02:40,035 Speaker 1: by the group Tangerine Dream, So that score alone keeps 869 01:02:40,075 --> 01:02:45,755 Speaker 1: the movie moving. HBO ran it forever and ever, and 870 01:02:45,835 --> 01:02:47,955 Speaker 1: it was very successful. And I think it got a 871 01:02:47,995 --> 01:02:51,115 Speaker 1: couple of cable awards, and Bobby, when I saw him 872 01:02:51,195 --> 01:02:54,435 Speaker 1: last week, was really proud of it and kept wondering 873 01:02:54,475 --> 01:02:57,675 Speaker 1: why it's not being streamed. It's still funny, it's still 874 01:02:57,755 --> 01:03:04,915 Speaker 1: it's a Roy Jenkins novel. It's still wonderful, and we 875 01:03:04,995 --> 01:03:07,755 Speaker 1: go and see the film and it's hilarious. And it 876 01:03:07,835 --> 01:03:11,235 Speaker 1: has and Bobby mentioned this last week. It has not 877 01:03:11,315 --> 01:03:14,275 Speaker 1: only lots of scenes that real golfers think are really good, 878 01:03:14,715 --> 01:03:17,875 Speaker 1: but it has the scene Bobby said that for decades, 879 01:03:17,955 --> 01:03:20,555 Speaker 1: every golfer he's ever met who's found out that he 880 01:03:20,595 --> 01:03:24,315 Speaker 1: did Dead Salva perfect it said, you have the greatest scene, 881 01:03:24,755 --> 01:03:28,995 Speaker 1: the greatest individual scene in any golf movie, never mind 882 01:03:29,035 --> 01:03:34,555 Speaker 1: that crap Billy Madison or whatever the hell that Adam 883 01:03:34,635 --> 01:03:37,155 Speaker 1: Sandler film is. And Adam Sandler is a lovely guy. 884 01:03:37,475 --> 01:03:40,115 Speaker 1: But I didn't laugh once in that first film, which 885 01:03:40,155 --> 01:03:41,755 Speaker 1: I was supposed to be in but got sick and 886 01:03:41,795 --> 01:03:44,355 Speaker 1: couldn't go. And I imagine I'm not going to laugh 887 01:03:44,395 --> 01:03:46,235 Speaker 1: at anything in the second one because I'm not going 888 01:03:46,275 --> 01:03:49,795 Speaker 1: to go see it. But all the other golf films 889 01:03:50,875 --> 01:03:55,275 Speaker 1: Tin Cup not funny. There was some serious golf movie 890 01:03:55,435 --> 01:03:59,115 Speaker 1: and something about you know, a golfer with no limbs 891 01:03:59,635 --> 01:04:02,835 Speaker 1: and push shot the ball with his nose. I don't know. 892 01:04:03,875 --> 01:04:06,795 Speaker 1: This is a fun movie that happens to be about golf, 893 01:04:07,035 --> 01:04:11,955 Speaker 1: and Randy Quaid is god damned terrific in it. And 894 01:04:12,315 --> 01:04:14,875 Speaker 1: the woman playing his wife is Catherine Harold, a great 895 01:04:15,035 --> 01:04:18,035 Speaker 1: underrated actor of the eighties who is on the Larry 896 01:04:18,115 --> 01:04:22,475 Speaker 1: Sanders Show. Just outstanding from start to last. But the 897 01:04:22,515 --> 01:04:24,795 Speaker 1: one scene that all the golfers liked was with the 898 01:04:24,835 --> 01:04:29,115 Speaker 1: actress who was playing the woman. Randy Quaid's golf character 899 01:04:29,955 --> 01:04:34,195 Speaker 1: is having an affair with Krinn Borr, and the scene 900 01:04:34,555 --> 01:04:39,595 Speaker 1: sounds like nothing. In the scene, Krin Borr runs down 901 01:04:39,635 --> 01:04:42,275 Speaker 1: the hallway at the hotel that she and the Randy 902 01:04:42,355 --> 01:04:46,955 Speaker 1: Quaid character are canoodling at, runs down the hallway to 903 01:04:46,995 --> 01:04:52,555 Speaker 1: get some ice. The scene involves an ice machine, an 904 01:04:52,555 --> 01:04:56,475 Speaker 1: ice bucket, some ice, but it does not involve Kurin 905 01:04:56,755 --> 01:05:03,075 Speaker 1: wearing any clothes. Now it's shot top up, but nevertheless, 906 01:05:03,435 --> 01:05:06,955 Speaker 1: this is for twelve over fifteen second scene, quite a 907 01:05:07,035 --> 01:05:14,155 Speaker 1: dramatic thing, especially for golfers. I cannot reveal what Bobby 908 01:05:14,195 --> 01:05:19,555 Speaker 1: revealed about Corinn and Randy Quaid in real life, but 909 01:05:19,795 --> 01:05:22,395 Speaker 1: you probably can guess why the scene was so authentic. 910 01:05:24,515 --> 01:05:27,955 Speaker 1: It's a great scene, It's a great movie. Me. I 911 01:05:27,995 --> 01:05:30,835 Speaker 1: could have gotten an award from the National Association of 912 01:05:31,075 --> 01:05:34,115 Speaker 1: lumber Distributors. I am so wooden. There is no one 913 01:05:34,195 --> 01:05:36,155 Speaker 1: who did not know my work who would have seen 914 01:05:36,195 --> 01:05:38,995 Speaker 1: that film and said that guy's a golf announcer. Hell, 915 01:05:39,035 --> 01:05:40,995 Speaker 1: there's nobody who would have seen that film and not 916 01:05:41,075 --> 01:05:42,795 Speaker 1: known my work and said that guy must be a 917 01:05:42,835 --> 01:05:46,875 Speaker 1: real sportscaster. I come across as some sort of stuffed 918 01:05:46,995 --> 01:05:49,795 Speaker 1: animal who has come to life for this scene and 919 01:05:49,835 --> 01:05:53,915 Speaker 1: not very much to life. And the other thing that 920 01:05:54,035 --> 01:05:57,875 Speaker 1: I learned from this scene that we did and then sweetened, 921 01:05:58,235 --> 01:06:00,635 Speaker 1: where we went back and fixed the audio and fill 922 01:06:00,995 --> 01:06:04,235 Speaker 1: the six foot eight lumberjack did. Don's voice for him 923 01:06:04,795 --> 01:06:08,035 Speaker 1: is that I can't tell which lines are pill and 924 01:06:08,075 --> 01:06:10,715 Speaker 1: which lines are done. That's how good he was at 925 01:06:10,795 --> 01:06:15,195 Speaker 1: doing an impression of down Morrow. A limited role in 926 01:06:15,235 --> 01:06:20,955 Speaker 1: the entertainment firmament, but apparently a lucrative one. So the 927 01:06:20,955 --> 01:06:23,555 Speaker 1: film runs and it's a big hit, and I'm in it, 928 01:06:23,675 --> 01:06:27,675 Speaker 1: and I'm twenty eight years old, and by the time 929 01:06:27,715 --> 01:06:30,395 Speaker 1: the film was premiering, my first gray hair started to 930 01:06:30,395 --> 01:06:32,675 Speaker 1: come in so it is a record of me when 931 01:06:32,715 --> 01:06:36,835 Speaker 1: I still had some baby fat and all black, shiny hair. 932 01:06:38,355 --> 01:06:41,795 Speaker 1: At some point, not long after it premiered in late 933 01:06:41,875 --> 01:06:46,195 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven, Tribune, the company that in fact owned 934 01:06:46,235 --> 01:06:48,635 Speaker 1: the station I was working for at the time, Channel 935 01:06:48,675 --> 01:06:51,315 Speaker 1: five in LA, bought the rights to this film to 936 01:06:51,395 --> 01:06:54,275 Speaker 1: run on all of its stations nationwide, and at least 937 01:06:54,275 --> 01:06:56,635 Speaker 1: twice a year they would run it, say on a 938 01:06:56,675 --> 01:06:59,355 Speaker 1: Friday night, and then on a Saturday afternoon, and then 939 01:06:59,395 --> 01:07:01,755 Speaker 1: on a Sunday night on all of their stations. It 940 01:07:01,795 --> 01:07:04,235 Speaker 1: would get like three plays in three days. So if 941 01:07:04,275 --> 01:07:06,835 Speaker 1: you were twisting almost anywhere in the nation, you saw 942 01:07:06,875 --> 01:07:11,235 Speaker 1: this film and me. And the older I got and 943 01:07:11,275 --> 01:07:13,115 Speaker 1: the more prominent I got, And by the time I 944 01:07:13,155 --> 01:07:15,355 Speaker 1: was in Sports Center in nineteen ninety two, we were 945 01:07:15,715 --> 01:07:19,195 Speaker 1: five years removed from the recording of this thing. I 946 01:07:19,235 --> 01:07:21,835 Speaker 1: didn't look quite so much as I did in this film. 947 01:07:21,875 --> 01:07:25,195 Speaker 1: Plus I did this film without my glasses. They said, 948 01:07:25,195 --> 01:07:27,075 Speaker 1: can you do it without the glasses? And I went sure, 949 01:07:27,075 --> 01:07:30,875 Speaker 1: because I could still see you without my glasses. And 950 01:07:30,915 --> 01:07:33,075 Speaker 1: there I am with no glasses and dark hair. And 951 01:07:33,115 --> 01:07:36,115 Speaker 1: I once got a call from a girlfriend about nineteen 952 01:07:36,195 --> 01:07:38,595 Speaker 1: ninety four who saw me on a tribune station in 953 01:07:38,635 --> 01:07:42,315 Speaker 1: the Midwest and said, do you have a son? And 954 01:07:42,355 --> 01:07:45,675 Speaker 1: I said no. He goes guy. She says, I saw 955 01:07:46,315 --> 01:07:50,995 Speaker 1: some guy on TV in a movie. I swear to god, 956 01:07:51,035 --> 01:07:55,795 Speaker 1: this guy looks like your son. Do you mean you 957 01:07:55,795 --> 01:07:57,955 Speaker 1: can tell me I won't break up with you. I'll 958 01:07:57,955 --> 01:08:01,275 Speaker 1: still be your girlfriend. But what do you have a son? 959 01:08:01,435 --> 01:08:06,915 Speaker 1: An adult son? I went, no, that's that's me. How 960 01:08:06,955 --> 01:08:11,875 Speaker 1: long ago was this filmed? Like eight years? Holy cow, 961 01:08:11,915 --> 01:08:16,715 Speaker 1: have you aged? But there was a check involved in 962 01:08:16,795 --> 01:08:20,195 Speaker 1: this and it ran well into the late nineties. And 963 01:08:20,235 --> 01:08:23,235 Speaker 1: I think I last saw somewhere on cable about two 964 01:08:23,235 --> 01:08:26,995 Speaker 1: thousand and three. And Bobby Roth asks a great question 965 01:08:27,235 --> 01:08:29,595 Speaker 1: as he goes out to do his documentary. This is 966 01:08:29,595 --> 01:08:31,995 Speaker 1: now his thing. He's no longer an entertainment movie maker. 967 01:08:32,155 --> 01:08:36,315 Speaker 1: He's a documentarian, a filmmaker about democracy, and he's doing 968 01:08:36,315 --> 01:08:38,395 Speaker 1: his part to try to save democracy too. And that's 969 01:08:38,395 --> 01:08:41,355 Speaker 1: what we talked about. He asked me to introduce myself. 970 01:08:41,395 --> 01:08:45,235 Speaker 1: I said, I'm the podcaster, the original anchor of MSNBC 971 01:08:46,195 --> 01:08:50,715 Speaker 1: and a commentator, and I was the seventeenth male lead 972 01:08:50,755 --> 01:08:54,515 Speaker 1: in the movie Dead Solid Perfect. There is, as always 973 01:08:54,555 --> 01:08:59,595 Speaker 1: a punchline to this two of them, Correne Borr, the 974 01:08:59,715 --> 01:09:04,515 Speaker 1: ice bucket lady. About fifteen years after we recorded this, 975 01:09:05,475 --> 01:09:07,435 Speaker 1: I put on my TV and there's a commercial in 976 01:09:07,435 --> 01:09:09,315 Speaker 1: which a mom is driving her new car to go 977 01:09:09,395 --> 01:09:11,955 Speaker 1: pick up their kids at the school, and it's Krinborer. 978 01:09:13,115 --> 01:09:15,395 Speaker 1: And I wanted to shout at the characters in the commercial, 979 01:09:15,635 --> 01:09:17,915 Speaker 1: Hey do you know about her and the ice machine? 980 01:09:19,075 --> 01:09:23,595 Speaker 1: And soon Krin Borer, who had a lovely, kind of decent, calm, 981 01:09:24,075 --> 01:09:28,235 Speaker 1: long suffering mother face that had grown out of her 982 01:09:28,795 --> 01:09:34,875 Speaker 1: running down a hallway naked to get ice face, she 983 01:09:35,115 --> 01:09:39,995 Speaker 1: was suddenly the mother in every television commercial for maybe 984 01:09:40,155 --> 01:09:44,315 Speaker 1: ten years, ending around twenty eleven or twelve, every damn 985 01:09:44,395 --> 01:09:47,835 Speaker 1: commerce hundreds and hundreds. It's like, and there's the mother 986 01:09:47,915 --> 01:09:51,915 Speaker 1: of the nation, Corin Borer. And nobody ever brought up 987 01:09:51,955 --> 01:09:56,035 Speaker 1: the ice bucket scene would have seemed to me natural 988 01:09:56,275 --> 01:09:59,315 Speaker 1: that they gave her a job for some hotel chain 989 01:09:59,475 --> 01:10:03,235 Speaker 1: somewhere in which she runs down the aisle to get 990 01:10:03,275 --> 01:10:07,635 Speaker 1: ice fully close oh, then followed by her six children 991 01:10:07,715 --> 01:10:12,115 Speaker 1: under the age of five, but who listens to me? 992 01:10:13,475 --> 01:10:15,555 Speaker 1: And then the punchline of all punchlines, apart from the 993 01:10:15,555 --> 01:10:17,795 Speaker 1: fact that I saw Bobby Roth last week for the 994 01:10:17,795 --> 01:10:19,795 Speaker 1: first time in thirty seven years, and he was great 995 01:10:19,835 --> 01:10:21,955 Speaker 1: and we had a great time. And now I will 996 01:10:21,995 --> 01:10:27,795 Speaker 1: have been in two films, basically consecutive films, both of 997 01:10:27,835 --> 01:10:33,475 Speaker 1: them made by Bobby Roth in different centuries. The punchline 998 01:10:33,555 --> 01:10:36,795 Speaker 1: is maybe two thousand and eight or nine. I was 999 01:10:36,835 --> 01:10:39,275 Speaker 1: flying back from Los Angeles to New York, and I 1000 01:10:39,355 --> 01:10:42,315 Speaker 1: thought I saw him as we sat down on the plane, 1001 01:10:42,395 --> 01:10:44,315 Speaker 1: but wasn't sure and didn't want to get up and 1002 01:10:44,355 --> 01:10:47,795 Speaker 1: go looking for him in the plane. But we get 1003 01:10:47,995 --> 01:10:52,235 Speaker 1: to JFK Airport and I wait for the other passengers 1004 01:10:52,275 --> 01:10:54,755 Speaker 1: to come off, and after a few minutes and just 1005 01:10:54,795 --> 01:10:56,435 Speaker 1: about to give up and go and get my bag 1006 01:10:56,475 --> 01:10:59,475 Speaker 1: and go home, there he is. And he sees me 1007 01:11:00,235 --> 01:11:06,875 Speaker 1: and lets out a shout, Hey, my co star. It's 1008 01:11:06,995 --> 01:11:10,395 Speaker 1: Randy Quaid. And he was already beginning to go a 1009 01:11:10,435 --> 01:11:14,555 Speaker 1: little towards where he is now, and he was again 1010 01:11:14,715 --> 01:11:19,835 Speaker 1: just lovely to me. And I don't know what happened. 1011 01:11:22,195 --> 01:11:24,595 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the lesson of dead solid perfect. 1012 01:11:26,515 --> 01:11:29,515 Speaker 1: I tend to think maybe these bad things happened to 1013 01:11:29,595 --> 01:11:34,235 Speaker 1: him because because of the current border running down the 1014 01:11:34,675 --> 01:11:51,115 Speaker 1: hall with the ice cube scene. I've done all the 1015 01:11:51,195 --> 01:11:54,555 Speaker 1: damage I can do here. Thank you for listening. I 1016 01:11:54,595 --> 01:11:57,155 Speaker 1: don't even think there's a DVD of Dead Solid Perfect. 1017 01:11:57,515 --> 01:12:01,995 Speaker 1: It's a damn shame. It's a great film.
