Speaker 1 (00:12):
Is there anybody on the globe that hasn't heard about
the astronomer that was caught cheating with the head of HR.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Of course it's the head of HR.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
What I didn't realize is there was a woman who
took a video of the JumboTron and it's the TikTok
verse that went viral.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
So that's how it got into the zeitgeist. Like a
woman Chris.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Martin put them on the JumboTron, made a joke either
there shy or having an affair. Someone videoed it and
that's how it's become this international cheating scandal. Now, why
is this such a big deal Because it's relatable, Because
it's relatable because it's Jane from Accounting. It's not literally Jane,
but it's Jane from Accounting. It's Dan from the golf club.
(01:03):
It's the Call to Sac, It's that TV show your
friends and neighbors, It's Desperate Housewives, it's the Real Housewives,
it's all of us. It's what I believe is probably
ninety percent of people who do cheat, want to cheat,
would cheat, have temptations to cheat. They're human, Like, it's
just relatable. It's also the one thing no one's really
(01:24):
discussing is that everybody sits in judgment about the fact
that if they just kept it cool, if they were
just chill, no one would know, like right, But then
you get fucking punched in the face and you're on
the ground like you are cheating. You're with somebody, you're
just hanging out. Most times, when you're in love and
you're feeling the oxytocin and you're feeling the feelings, you
(01:49):
just want to be out and proud, even though you
know it's wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Love is like cocaine.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Love and oxytocin and your hormones and your infatuation make
you think that things that are shitty ideas are good ideas,
like a going to the Coldplay concert to public displays
of affection at said Coldplay concert. Alcohol during cheating, which
is a great idea because that's what everybody does, is
(02:18):
you're drinking.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
You think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Now compound Now you're compounding alcohol with infidelity, and you're
on a fucking JumboTron. But most maybe not most importantly
as importantly, play stupid games, win stuper prizes, fuck around
and find out so you decide your body your choice.
I say to my daughter, you don't do anything wrong,
(02:41):
you don't get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's boring.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I was saying to someone that I know it's easier
to cheat, and they were saying, that's not true. You
gotta keep up with your lives. You gotta do this,
you gotta do that. You get parandid. I go no,
that's a cop out. That's what you tell yourself to
sleep at night. It is easier to cheat and go
by your impulses, just like it's easier to blow a
line of cocaine or do heroin, or eat fried chicken
(03:04):
or onion rings, or drink sixty five drinks, or take
oxy or adderall or whatever you're high is, or gamble
or spend more than you should or buy it or
charge it. It's easier to do that because that's impulsive.
That's what you think about in the moment. That's what
makes somebody get into a car and put the keys
in the ignition when they've had too much to drink.
(03:25):
That is easier. It's not easier in the long run.
It's not easier in the consequences. It's easier in the moment.
Then restraint, then sacrifice, then cooler minds prevailing than not cheating,
than not succumbing to your your libido, your id being boring.
(03:46):
If my daughter goes to a party, it's easier to
get blackout wasted and to drink through a funnel and
to succumb to peer pressure. It's harder to say no
and feel like a dork and feel like the only
one who's doing what you're actually supposed to be doing.
That is harder, but that's where the reward lies. And
there's nothing dorky or boring about that. I always respect
(04:07):
the person that's never had to drink their whole life,
that just doesn't drink, just has never been interested in drugs,
Like what would their parents like study them in laboratories.
So this motherfucker and his girlfriend took the path of
least resistance, and the ex wife is gonna hold the
(04:28):
bag and deserve it. She took her last name off
her Facebook page. Comments are open. It's open season, fuck
around and find out. Now, let's talk about my coldplay story.
Remember when I have told you multiple times I'm always
(04:48):
connected in some adjacent peripheral like last thread when your
tooth is about to pull out kind of way.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
What do I mean? What do I mean?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Why was I it ends with us premiere? Why do
I know both parties? Why do I know both parties teams?
I don't know Blake Lively? Why was I contacted in
some way by both parties?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Why? I don't know? Why did I.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Date very briefly someone that Jennifer Lopez was in a relationship.
Why I've said so many stories here that I've been like, well,
that's funny because I know, and then my team would
be like, why do you know that?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But why is that?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Why do I have a Coldplay concert story, like a
scandalous life changing You'll enjoy.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
This story Coldplay story?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Why We're about to find out.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So I'm in the Hamptons.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I am doing a podcast on Serious.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Rat I'm on Radio Andy.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I'm the first sub podcast that he has, like the
first person he gives their own sort of sub podcast.
I'm being paid in hamster kibble, and I don't remember.
Am I on once a week? Whatever it is? So
I was doing like a sub Andy Cohen podcast and
Serious Radio loved me. There was a woman who used
to be at the Today Show and she was producing
(06:24):
it or producing for Radio Andy or producing for Serious.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I was doing really well.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I've always been pretty good at talking connecting, And I
remember she would say to me, and I didn't know
that because that was long before my social media career
or long before my podcast career. And remember everything seems
like obvious now, but back then, all this was innovative,
like me sitting down and just talking into a podcast
without having to interview someone or a guest. And she said, like,
(06:51):
you could every day just sit down and talk to people.
I've never seen anything like it, you like, don't need
anyone else.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
That was great. I was so flattered. It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So we're negotiating and that now I'm part of the
serious family. So I get invited in the Hamptons to
Steven's Talk House, which is a cool place in Amagansett,
and like they get Billy Joel will stop either. I'm
sure John bon Jovi's performed there. Like interesting people will
(07:19):
just be there.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Cool people.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It could be like Patty Smythe or Patty Grit like
just Joni Mitchell is the type of person that would
have performed there, Like everybody's probably come through there, and
it's small, but it's like God integrity. It's one of
those places like the bit is it the Bitter End
in New York City. They're just like Cebegb's or something.
It's not like a big place. It's like street cred, authentic, legit,
and it's in the Hamptons and a lot of these
(07:41):
people live nearby. Maybe they're just come to do a
jam session. Like it's so cool. And I've probably been
there a couple of times on like normal nights, not
knowing who's performing, and there's always live music.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I mentioned the Blues Travelers have come through there.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I don't know, so anyway, I've been there, but not
a lot. It's too cool for me. It's too like
Burkin's Sack and like live music y But so now
I hear and there are like page six items saying
that Coldplay is going to perform at Steven's Talkhouse, which
is like such a cool factor, Like wait what. I'm
always excited to be invited to things that other people
(08:16):
think that I would obviously be invited to. But I
was excited, and I'm like, wow, I'm part of the
series family. And I show up at the concert and
the chairman of Serious Radio comes up to me and
he says, like, you're amazing, you're.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Exactly what we need.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
And at this party is Jimmy Buffett who passed away,
John McEnroe. I think it was like it was someone
like a Patty Griffin, Joni Mitchell, she passed out. I
don't remember who it was, so please don't like it
mad at me. I don't remember. It was one of
those like folky cool singers and people were there. Howard
Stern's wife Beth was there. I think jay Z and
(08:54):
Beyonce were there. I think when it was there a
lot of like I don't remember, like Billy Joel's what
ex wife Katie could have been. People were there, like
a lot of people. There was very celebrity studied, but
it was also very local, which is what's cool about
Steven's Talk House. So it's like the way that I
think about Aspen there are like billionaires and chairlift operators
(09:16):
or the Hamptons where it's like a fisherman and then
you know a goldman guy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
This was like that because obviously.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Serious radio it was more current at the time, and
they have a lot of talent coming through there and
it's the Howard Stern effect and all that stuff, and
anybody like that's rich and bougie out here is going
to try to get a ticket and probably connected to
get a ticket. But then Stevens Talkhouse and probably the
band or whoever is going to be authentic to the
(09:47):
local community. Plus I guess people could probably get tickets.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
A certain number. There are hundreds of people in.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
They're not like Chris Cuomo's wife, Christina Cuomar. I remember
she was there because she was a yoga teacher that
night that like witnessed this. I think like it was
a lot of who's who.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It's like a.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Thing and it's cool factor, and I'm like, I'm here,
this is so fun, and I look cute, and I
bring my ex's daughter, who's like twenty something. And then
you go inside where they're going to be performing. Now
there's a long bar. If I recall, I don't think
it's like a rectangle bar, but there's a it might
be a rectangle bar, so like on either side of it,
like people could get around to the bar. But I
(10:28):
gotta really paint this because I'm not showing it to
you with my with a diagram. So you have a
stage and this artist facing out has a pit in
front of them. So there's like a pit that has
like a wall around it, but like a low wall.
You could sit on the edge of the wall. There
is there are entrances in and out to the pit
(10:49):
from the lane right outside the wall, and there's a
lane right outside the wall, and that lane is in
front of the long bar, in front of what's at
least the one long side of the bar.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Are you picturing it? Okay?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So the real estate that I've secured, which again is
not easy to secure because it's packed. Me it felt
like there's a lot of gen pop in the pit,
and then there are some like but there are also
celebrities in the pit, like it's not but most of
the celebrities, it felt like we're outside the pit, like
sort of like watching in you still had a view
(11:24):
of the stage. Then there are people outside. There's only
hundreds of people here, so outside you can still sort
of see the stage from the outside bar and the
doors to the outside. And just think any place in
any town that has saw dust on the floor, you
know what I mean, like a like a roadhouse. So
now I'm standing in front of the bar and I
have a pretty good seat of the stage, Like it's
(11:45):
we could see the stage, so right, and there are
a bunch of people near me, A lot of like
famous people are near me, a lot of people that
I just know, they're, like I said, locals, whatever, it's
a mixed bag. So now the concert starts, and three
women sit on that ledge, that low wall to watch
(12:06):
the concerts, so their backs are right in front of
anybody behind that wall that is at the bar near
the bar, anybody behind them, even the bartenders. Anybody behind
the bartenders cannot see the stage because they are dead
center in front of the talent sitting up on the wall. Now,
there are many nightclubs you can go to, and you're
(12:27):
a lot to stand on the booths. It's every person
for themselves. Some lets you stand on the table. Somebody
get in trouble, whatever it is. I don't make the rules.
A security guy, a big guy keeps coming up there
were like two different people and telling them to get down,
whichh I'm agreeing with. It's extremely annoying even in basic life,
Like it's disrespectful. I'm standing next to a girl who
(12:48):
I think is like twenty one, my ex's daughter, and she's.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Trying to take video.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
You're trying to like reach over and like these three women,
and they are the stereotypical wife of Hampton's husband. Now,
back when this happened, I don't think I had the
level of awareness. I mean the level of a awareness
of what I would do b relationship with an audience. See,
(13:13):
I've always had been believable in street cred. But like
we have a relationship now, Like if I say something
to you, I think you probably know that I'm gonna
tell you exactly how it went down. And there are
a lot of people in that room that were terrified
at the time to say it. But it all went
down like this because a lot of people were pissed.
(13:40):
So these three women that are the stereotypical goldman billionaire Sagaponic,
the TV show Billions, all the things wives, and they're
wearing saucers for diamond rings. They have blonde you know,
I don't want to say bleach like blonde, salon dyed
fresh blow dry hair. One of them's wearing a sequin top,
(14:03):
but like with jeans, like heels, the perfume you could
picture and everybody else, even like the Beth Howard Stearn's wife,
even like probably the Beyonces and the Gwen it's.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Like everybody else is, Like.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
They're in the Hamptons, so they're in like the bohem
version of that, like the jeans and you're at a concert.
You at Steven's talk house, Like I don't remember what
I was wearing. I'm sure it was like a sun dress,
but like you're sort of more natural whatever. So these
three women are sitting up there and the security keeps
coming up to them because people behind them that do
not or not just to me are like furious because
(14:38):
we're there and you got this coveted ticket and it's
a little bit democratic, like it's kind of a mixed
bag of people, so everybody should be able to see
this concert. In this intimate environment, we can't see anything.
We can't even you're trying to video because you're holding
your arm up high like above their shoulders to at
least be videoing and use your phone to see through
(14:58):
your phone what's going on. You can't see anything, and
people are irritated because these women fit the bill. Now,
I don't know what possessed me, but it's probably the
same thing that possessed the astronomer to go to the
Coldplay concert with his fuck around and find out side
piece but I don't know what possessed me to do
(15:20):
something like I just did, but it probably was a
gift because it meant it had a ripple effect that
wasn't that positive at the time, from a public perspective
to a business perspective.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And I would not do that now.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I'm not stupid, So I'm going to take full responsibility
and apologize for my behavior in advance and say I
do not know what possessed me to do what I'm
about to tell you that I did. And also I
almost could say that I would do it again in
the moment if it felt like that, but some version
of me would just be smart enough to not do that,
(15:56):
knowing how much I have to lose now. But I still,
once in a while in the car want to get
out and say, what are you doing with a baseball bet?
But I know that that means someone could pull a
gun on me and jack me. I do once in
a while. Okay, So I do have the racetrack in me. Okay,
I do sometimes wish I wasn't a public person because
(16:17):
I wanted, like I did in sixth grade at Saint
Chris's on roller skates, grab somebody by their fucking ponytail,
So don't get it twisted.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I am street to the core.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I did grow up at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, playing stickball,
and I came from a very abusive household, and I've
seen fucking crazy shit.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Okay, but I still don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
What possessed me to do the following, which is turn around,
premeditate this, think about it for a second planet now.
I think I wanted it to be with water, but
what was right in front of me because the bartender
was indisposed or whatever you say, was preoccupied or had
another patron. I think in the moment, I was so
(17:01):
enraged and the concert was passing me by and I
wasn't seeing any of it because of these women that
people kept telling to come down. But every time the
security would walk away, and every time every time they
got down, they would snicker and get back up. They
also would look around back at me because they knew
it was annoying me because I was like huffing and puffing,
and they would make a taunting face at me, like
(17:24):
like haha, we won, you know what I mean, Because
he would leave and they would get back up. Taunting
is something that needs to be resisted, because it's when
you take the bait, and I don't usually take the bait.
But what I did do is see a bottle of
minute made approximately thirteen point eight ounce bottle, like you
(17:46):
get at an airport in the Disani case at the
Sebow Market. In the airport, I did see a minute
made orange juice with top off, and I may or
may not have grabbed it and doused all three women
(18:07):
and their fresh what probably ultimately became Baccara rouge blow
dryes with orange juice, like it was happening in slow motion,
and from left to right took them all out. I
then shortly thereafter departed the premises. Knowing that what I
(18:29):
did was fairly disruptive and insane, and it had happened
in slow motion, I almost couldn't believe I did it myself.
I'm not proud of my behavior. I do apologize. I
did once see one of their husbands and like he
was aghast seeing me at this restaurant downtown, as he
should be. It is not appropriate behavior. It is not
(18:50):
a good example for you guys. It is not a
good example for my daughter. It is nothing I advise.
I cannot speak to it. I will always cop and
own my side of the street. I would be a
apologizing for it. On The Housewives, Ramona did once accidentally
throw a glass at someone into the water and unintentionally
hit her. I am better than that, but it may
(19:14):
or may not have been the wife of someone extraordinarily powerful.
They were major helpers in the funding of Serious XM Radio,
as inconveniently would happen, and I never heard from the
guy again after they were wanting me to negotiate a
(19:37):
contract for Serious Radio correctly, so he is right, he
is not fucking her ound with the realm and I
it went cold play it went cold.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I remember Andy and me saying it had to be cold.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I mean obviously obviously, like I fucked and I found
out I played stupid games and I got stupid prizes.
I didn't care for some reason. I really always believe
that everything happens for a reason. And I also thought, like,
what does actually one thing have to do with another,
Like that's the business aspect of it. It's not the creative.
(20:16):
It's not someone who actually works anywhere near serious RADO.
It's just someone who helped with the financing, and like
a powerful, powerful, rich person who definitely made one phone
call as I probably would. Also, there's nothing wrong with
anything that anybody did except for get up there and
act like privileged Hamptons people. But you know, we've all
(20:37):
made mistakes and done stupid things, and there are many
assholes in this world, and I don't have to school
every one of them. And they could be lovely women
that in the moment we're doing that, it could have
been one out of three of them. It doesn't matter.
This story is true. It happened. I owe my side
of the street. If I saw them, I would say,
here's exactly what I would say. If any of them
I don't know their names. I'm not mentioning any of it.
(20:58):
I think I don't do know some of the names.
Doesn't matter. I would say, I'm sorry, but you guys
acted like privileged assholes and you deserved it. If I
thought that, if I thought that no one would ever
see it or find out, I would do it again.
So that's my coldplace story. I'm not proud, but I'm
always honest. Thoughts and prayers,
Is there anybody on the globe that hasn't heard about
the astronomer that was caught cheating with the head of HR.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Of course it's the head of HR.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
What I didn't realize is there was a woman who
took a video of the JumboTron and it's the TikTok
verse that went viral.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
So that's how it got into the zeitgeist. Like a
woman Chris.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Martin put them on the JumboTron, made a joke either
there shy or having an affair. Someone videoed it and
that's how it's become this international cheating scandal. Now, why
is this such a big deal Because it's relatable, Because
it's relatable because it's Jane from Accounting. It's not literally Jane,
but it's Jane from Accounting. It's Dan from the golf club.
(01:03):
It's the Call to Sac, It's that TV show your
friends and neighbors, It's Desperate Housewives, it's the Real Housewives,
it's all of us. It's what I believe is probably
ninety percent of people who do cheat, want to cheat,
would cheat, have temptations to cheat. They're human, Like, it's
just relatable. It's also the one thing no one's really
(01:24):
discussing is that everybody sits in judgment about the fact
that if they just kept it cool, if they were
just chill, no one would know, like right, But then
you get fucking punched in the face and you're on
the ground like you are cheating. You're with somebody, you're
just hanging out. Most times, when you're in love and
you're feeling the oxytocin and you're feeling the feelings, you
(01:49):
just want to be out and proud, even though you
know it's wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Love is like cocaine.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Love and oxytocin and your hormones and your infatuation make
you think that things that are shitty ideas are good ideas,
like a going to the Coldplay concert to public displays
of affection at said Coldplay concert. Alcohol during cheating, which
is a great idea because that's what everybody does, is
(02:18):
you're drinking.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
You think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Now compound Now you're compounding alcohol with infidelity, and you're
on a fucking JumboTron. But most maybe not most importantly
as importantly, play stupid games, win stuper prizes, fuck around
and find out so you decide your body your choice.
I say to my daughter, you don't do anything wrong,
(02:41):
you don't get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's boring.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I was saying to someone that I know it's easier
to cheat, and they were saying, that's not true. You
gotta keep up with your lives. You gotta do this,
you gotta do that. You get parandid. I go no,
that's a cop out. That's what you tell yourself to
sleep at night. It is easier to cheat and go
by your impulses, just like it's easier to blow a
line of cocaine or do heroin, or eat fried chicken
(03:04):
or onion rings, or drink sixty five drinks, or take
oxy or adderall or whatever you're high is, or gamble
or spend more than you should or buy it or
charge it. It's easier to do that because that's impulsive.
That's what you think about in the moment. That's what
makes somebody get into a car and put the keys
in the ignition when they've had too much to drink.
(03:25):
That is easier. It's not easier in the long run.
It's not easier in the consequences. It's easier in the moment.
Then restraint, then sacrifice, then cooler minds prevailing than not cheating,
than not succumbing to your your libido, your id being boring.
(03:46):
If my daughter goes to a party, it's easier to
get blackout wasted and to drink through a funnel and
to succumb to peer pressure. It's harder to say no
and feel like a dork and feel like the only
one who's doing what you're actually supposed to be doing.
That is harder, but that's where the reward lies. And
there's nothing dorky or boring about that. I always respect
(04:07):
the person that's never had to drink their whole life,
that just doesn't drink, just has never been interested in drugs,
Like what would their parents like study them in laboratories.
So this motherfucker and his girlfriend took the path of
least resistance, and the ex wife is gonna hold the
(04:28):
bag and deserve it. She took her last name off
her Facebook page. Comments are open. It's open season, fuck
around and find out. Now, let's talk about my coldplay story.
Remember when I have told you multiple times I'm always
(04:48):
connected in some adjacent peripheral like last thread when your
tooth is about to pull out kind of way.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
What do I mean? What do I mean?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Why was I it ends with us premiere? Why do
I know both parties? Why do I know both parties teams?
I don't know Blake Lively? Why was I contacted in
some way by both parties?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Why? I don't know? Why did I.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Date very briefly someone that Jennifer Lopez was in a relationship.
Why I've said so many stories here that I've been like, well,
that's funny because I know, and then my team would
be like, why do you know that?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But why is that?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Why do I have a Coldplay concert story, like a
scandalous life changing You'll enjoy.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
This story Coldplay story?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Why We're about to find out.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So I'm in the Hamptons.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I am doing a podcast on Serious.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Rat I'm on Radio Andy.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I'm the first sub podcast that he has, like the
first person he gives their own sort of sub podcast.
I'm being paid in hamster kibble, and I don't remember.
Am I on once a week? Whatever it is? So
I was doing like a sub Andy Cohen podcast and
Serious Radio loved me. There was a woman who used
to be at the Today Show and she was producing
(06:24):
it or producing for Radio Andy or producing for Serious.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I was doing really well.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I've always been pretty good at talking connecting, And I
remember she would say to me, and I didn't know
that because that was long before my social media career
or long before my podcast career. And remember everything seems
like obvious now, but back then, all this was innovative,
like me sitting down and just talking into a podcast
without having to interview someone or a guest. And she said, like,
(06:51):
you could every day just sit down and talk to people.
I've never seen anything like it, you like, don't need
anyone else.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
That was great. I was so flattered. It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So we're negotiating and that now I'm part of the
serious family. So I get invited in the Hamptons to
Steven's Talk House, which is a cool place in Amagansett,
and like they get Billy Joel will stop either. I'm
sure John bon Jovi's performed there. Like interesting people will
(07:19):
just be there.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Cool people.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It could be like Patty Smythe or Patty Grit like
just Joni Mitchell is the type of person that would
have performed there, Like everybody's probably come through there, and
it's small, but it's like God integrity. It's one of
those places like the bit is it the Bitter End
in New York City. They're just like Cebegb's or something.
It's not like a big place. It's like street cred, authentic, legit,
and it's in the Hamptons and a lot of these
(07:41):
people live nearby. Maybe they're just come to do a
jam session. Like it's so cool. And I've probably been
there a couple of times on like normal nights, not
knowing who's performing, and there's always live music.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I mentioned the Blues Travelers have come through there.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I don't know, so anyway, I've been there, but not
a lot. It's too cool for me. It's too like
Burkin's Sack and like live music y But so now
I hear and there are like page six items saying
that Coldplay is going to perform at Steven's Talkhouse, which
is like such a cool factor, Like wait what. I'm
always excited to be invited to things that other people
(08:16):
think that I would obviously be invited to. But I
was excited, and I'm like, wow, I'm part of the
series family. And I show up at the concert and
the chairman of Serious Radio comes up to me and
he says, like, you're amazing, you're.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Exactly what we need.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
And at this party is Jimmy Buffett who passed away,
John McEnroe. I think it was like it was someone
like a Patty Griffin, Joni Mitchell, she passed out. I
don't remember who it was, so please don't like it
mad at me. I don't remember. It was one of
those like folky cool singers and people were there. Howard
Stern's wife Beth was there. I think jay Z and
(08:54):
Beyonce were there. I think when it was there a
lot of like I don't remember, like Billy Joel's what
ex wife Katie could have been. People were there, like
a lot of people. There was very celebrity studied, but
it was also very local, which is what's cool about
Steven's Talk House. So it's like the way that I
think about Aspen there are like billionaires and chairlift operators
(09:16):
or the Hamptons where it's like a fisherman and then
you know a goldman guy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
This was like that because obviously.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Serious radio it was more current at the time, and
they have a lot of talent coming through there and
it's the Howard Stern effect and all that stuff, and
anybody like that's rich and bougie out here is going
to try to get a ticket and probably connected to
get a ticket. But then Stevens Talkhouse and probably the
band or whoever is going to be authentic to the
(09:47):
local community. Plus I guess people could probably get tickets.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
A certain number. There are hundreds of people in.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
They're not like Chris Cuomo's wife, Christina Cuomar. I remember
she was there because she was a yoga teacher that
night that like witnessed this. I think like it was
a lot of who's who.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It's like a.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Thing and it's cool factor, and I'm like, I'm here,
this is so fun, and I look cute, and I
bring my ex's daughter, who's like twenty something. And then
you go inside where they're going to be performing. Now
there's a long bar. If I recall, I don't think
it's like a rectangle bar, but there's a it might
be a rectangle bar, so like on either side of it,
like people could get around to the bar. But I
(10:28):
gotta really paint this because I'm not showing it to
you with my with a diagram. So you have a
stage and this artist facing out has a pit in
front of them. So there's like a pit that has
like a wall around it, but like a low wall.
You could sit on the edge of the wall. There
is there are entrances in and out to the pit
(10:49):
from the lane right outside the wall, and there's a
lane right outside the wall, and that lane is in
front of the long bar, in front of what's at
least the one long side of the bar.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Are you picturing it? Okay?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So the real estate that I've secured, which again is
not easy to secure because it's packed. Me it felt
like there's a lot of gen pop in the pit,
and then there are some like but there are also
celebrities in the pit, like it's not but most of
the celebrities, it felt like we're outside the pit, like
sort of like watching in you still had a view
(11:24):
of the stage. Then there are people outside. There's only
hundreds of people here, so outside you can still sort
of see the stage from the outside bar and the
doors to the outside. And just think any place in
any town that has saw dust on the floor, you
know what I mean, like a like a roadhouse. So
now I'm standing in front of the bar and I
have a pretty good seat of the stage, Like it's
(11:45):
we could see the stage, so right, and there are
a bunch of people near me, A lot of like
famous people are near me, a lot of people that
I just know, they're, like I said, locals, whatever, it's
a mixed bag. So now the concert starts, and three
women sit on that ledge, that low wall to watch
(12:06):
the concerts, so their backs are right in front of
anybody behind that wall that is at the bar near
the bar, anybody behind them, even the bartenders. Anybody behind
the bartenders cannot see the stage because they are dead
center in front of the talent sitting up on the wall. Now,
there are many nightclubs you can go to, and you're
(12:27):
a lot to stand on the booths. It's every person
for themselves. Some lets you stand on the table. Somebody
get in trouble, whatever it is. I don't make the rules.
A security guy, a big guy keeps coming up there
were like two different people and telling them to get down,
whichh I'm agreeing with. It's extremely annoying even in basic life,
Like it's disrespectful. I'm standing next to a girl who
(12:48):
I think is like twenty one, my ex's daughter, and she's.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Trying to take video.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
You're trying to like reach over and like these three women,
and they are the stereotypical wife of Hampton's husband. Now,
back when this happened, I don't think I had the
level of awareness. I mean the level of a awareness
of what I would do b relationship with an audience. See,
(13:13):
I've always had been believable in street cred. But like
we have a relationship now, Like if I say something
to you, I think you probably know that I'm gonna
tell you exactly how it went down. And there are
a lot of people in that room that were terrified
at the time to say it. But it all went
down like this because a lot of people were pissed.
(13:40):
So these three women that are the stereotypical goldman billionaire Sagaponic,
the TV show Billions, all the things wives, and they're
wearing saucers for diamond rings. They have blonde you know,
I don't want to say bleach like blonde, salon dyed
fresh blow dry hair. One of them's wearing a sequin top,
(14:03):
but like with jeans, like heels, the perfume you could
picture and everybody else, even like the Beth Howard Stearn's wife,
even like probably the Beyonces and the Gwen it's.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Like everybody else is, Like.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
They're in the Hamptons, so they're in like the bohem
version of that, like the jeans and you're at a concert.
You at Steven's talk house, Like I don't remember what
I was wearing. I'm sure it was like a sun dress,
but like you're sort of more natural whatever. So these
three women are sitting up there and the security keeps
coming up to them because people behind them that do
not or not just to me are like furious because
(14:38):
we're there and you got this coveted ticket and it's
a little bit democratic, like it's kind of a mixed
bag of people, so everybody should be able to see
this concert. In this intimate environment, we can't see anything.
We can't even you're trying to video because you're holding
your arm up high like above their shoulders to at
least be videoing and use your phone to see through
(14:58):
your phone what's going on. You can't see anything, and
people are irritated because these women fit the bill. Now,
I don't know what possessed me, but it's probably the
same thing that possessed the astronomer to go to the
Coldplay concert with his fuck around and find out side
piece but I don't know what possessed me to do
(15:20):
something like I just did, but it probably was a
gift because it meant it had a ripple effect that
wasn't that positive at the time, from a public perspective
to a business perspective.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And I would not do that now.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I'm not stupid, So I'm going to take full responsibility
and apologize for my behavior in advance and say I
do not know what possessed me to do what I'm
about to tell you that I did. And also I
almost could say that I would do it again in
the moment if it felt like that, but some version
of me would just be smart enough to not do that,
(15:56):
knowing how much I have to lose now. But I still,
once in a while in the car want to get
out and say, what are you doing with a baseball bet?
But I know that that means someone could pull a
gun on me and jack me. I do once in
a while. Okay, So I do have the racetrack in me. Okay,
I do sometimes wish I wasn't a public person because
(16:17):
I wanted, like I did in sixth grade at Saint
Chris's on roller skates, grab somebody by their fucking ponytail,
So don't get it twisted.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I am street to the core.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I did grow up at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, playing stickball,
and I came from a very abusive household, and I've
seen fucking crazy shit.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Okay, but I still don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
What possessed me to do the following, which is turn around,
premeditate this, think about it for a second planet now.
I think I wanted it to be with water, but
what was right in front of me because the bartender
was indisposed or whatever you say, was preoccupied or had
another patron. I think in the moment, I was so
(17:01):
enraged and the concert was passing me by and I
wasn't seeing any of it because of these women that
people kept telling to come down. But every time the
security would walk away, and every time every time they
got down, they would snicker and get back up. They
also would look around back at me because they knew
it was annoying me because I was like huffing and puffing,
and they would make a taunting face at me, like
(17:24):
like haha, we won, you know what I mean, Because
he would leave and they would get back up. Taunting
is something that needs to be resisted, because it's when
you take the bait, and I don't usually take the bait.
But what I did do is see a bottle of
minute made approximately thirteen point eight ounce bottle, like you
(17:46):
get at an airport in the Disani case at the
Sebow Market. In the airport, I did see a minute
made orange juice with top off, and I may or
may not have grabbed it and doused all three women
(18:07):
and their fresh what probably ultimately became Baccara rouge blow
dryes with orange juice, like it was happening in slow motion,
and from left to right took them all out. I
then shortly thereafter departed the premises. Knowing that what I
(18:29):
did was fairly disruptive and insane, and it had happened
in slow motion, I almost couldn't believe I did it myself.
I'm not proud of my behavior. I do apologize. I
did once see one of their husbands and like he
was aghast seeing me at this restaurant downtown, as he
should be. It is not appropriate behavior. It is not
(18:50):
a good example for you guys. It is not a
good example for my daughter. It is nothing I advise.
I cannot speak to it. I will always cop and
own my side of the street. I would be a
apologizing for it. On The Housewives, Ramona did once accidentally
throw a glass at someone into the water and unintentionally
hit her. I am better than that, but it may
(19:14):
or may not have been the wife of someone extraordinarily powerful.
They were major helpers in the funding of Serious XM Radio,
as inconveniently would happen, and I never heard from the
guy again after they were wanting me to negotiate a
(19:37):
contract for Serious Radio correctly, so he is right, he
is not fucking her ound with the realm and I
it went cold play it went cold.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I remember Andy and me saying it had to be cold.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I mean obviously obviously, like I fucked and I found
out I played stupid games and I got stupid prizes.
I didn't care for some reason. I really always believe
that everything happens for a reason. And I also thought, like,
what does actually one thing have to do with another,
Like that's the business aspect of it. It's not the creative.
(20:16):
It's not someone who actually works anywhere near serious RADO.
It's just someone who helped with the financing, and like
a powerful, powerful, rich person who definitely made one phone
call as I probably would. Also, there's nothing wrong with
anything that anybody did except for get up there and
act like privileged Hamptons people. But you know, we've all
(20:37):
made mistakes and done stupid things, and there are many
assholes in this world, and I don't have to school
every one of them. And they could be lovely women
that in the moment we're doing that, it could have
been one out of three of them. It doesn't matter.
This story is true. It happened. I owe my side
of the street. If I saw them, I would say,
here's exactly what I would say. If any of them
I don't know their names. I'm not mentioning any of it.
(20:58):
I think I don't do know some of the names.
Doesn't matter. I would say, I'm sorry, but you guys
acted like privileged assholes and you deserved it. If I
thought that, if I thought that no one would ever
see it or find out, I would do it again.
So that's my coldplace story. I'm not proud, but I'm
always honest. Thoughts and prayers,
Host
