I'm cooked up. So so so I see Farley disappeared into a bathroom with any dick Oh, okay him and Andy going to a bathroom. Yeah, they come out five minutes later like giggling Norm comes over to me and goes what's going on with Chris? I go bad news, bro Goes what I go. He went to a bathroom with Andy Dick I said there's only two reasons a man goes into a bathroom with any dick and neither one of them's good And Norm looked at me without mr. Beaton said holy fuck. I hope he's high Holy fuck I hope he's high Good news he was Chris Farley showed up on a set of news radio one day to visit Andy. Yeah, I'm sure he did He had the complexion of wet cardboard I've never seen a man look more unhealthy, dude I went to a strip club with him at Toronto. He shot the movie at the rot there yet chicks hanging I mean he was just like oh Yeah, it was a but I took a picture of him Foam coming out of his mouth laying on the ground. Yeah What a what a good man that's the people you're around exactly exactly. Yeah, it's like yeah, I Met Quentin I was at a film festival in sieges, Spain. It's a science fiction fantasy film festival as a guest and I was there. That's where I met Peter Jackson. We actually he sat next to me in a screening and we became friends and and He had his movie brain dead. Have you ever seen that? No. Oh, it's really good. It's really fun It's really gory, but funny gory and really clever But anyways, when did he make that? Well, this was like in the 90s or something I guess I I'm real bad with dates, you know, but anyways, we were sitting and talking and Freddie Francis who was a Director and a director of photography for it did a lot of Hammer movies and and Stuart Freeborn was there and we're sitting in this Thing and there's this big kind of goofy kid walking around, you know And and I thought he was just like a fan So I said come on over and sit down with us, you know We started talking and go what are you doing here? And you know, he was obviously like an American he goes I have a film here, you know, and it was reservoir dogs and And we went to see it and I actually left in the scene where they're torturing the cop It's funny people think I like gory gory stuff, you know, cuz I've done it in films but real Stuff and if it's really intensely done on a film like that was I mean, I thought he was gonna let this guy out Light this guy in fire that he's got the cop in a chair at one point I said I can't I don't want to see this so I left and so did Wes Craven Wow, yeah, and we went and he got so jazzed by that, you know Wes Craven couldn't take my movie and Rick Baker couldn't take my movie. It's so cool But I met this prostitute in Lake Tahoe She had come to my show and she was like, you know in Nevada It's it's all legal and so she I go what's the weirdest client that you ever had? And she goes well, I don't know if you're ready for this But I met this guy and he lived in Colorado and he had been in in Nevada Liked her said she said she's up for anything Sends a jet to take her to Colorado. Oh Jesus. They go to Denver to some five-star hotel Come up to the suite presidential suite. They come in. She's like I have no idea what this is about and he goes now This is gonna be weird, but It's not gonna hurt you Just go with it Room service shows up guys got a tray. He's got four plates of Hamburger meat uncooked just hamburger meat tips the guy leaves and he says what I want you to do is Take this meat. I'm gonna get naked and you're gonna take handfuls of it and shove it up my ass Five pounds of hamburger He just stood there and she kept stuffing it up stuffing out No erection. No sex. No touching her and then back on the jet Back to Nevada. So he's a wealthy guy. He paid her a ton of money. Oh my god I'm surprised but I'm not surprised like if you said would you bet your life? That there's a guy out there that sent a private jet to get a prostitute and take her to a nice Restaurant and then paid her to stuff hamburger meat up his ass if you're wrong you die. Yeah, I go. Yeah Right right a million monkeys typing, you know, I mean I'm not I'm surprised but I'm not stunned right? I'm not like no way. I don't believe that. Yeah, I believe it Well, and the the the funny thing is like I don't get the sense This guy is on a chat room talking to other guys that stuff ground beef up their asses. This is his thing, right? That's his that's a personal thing. He's got so much fucking money that his mind just goes to places and He can indulge it. He can just go Yeah, well, I'll try that and the biggest problem is actually not even the fentanyl itself It's the fentanyl precursors and do you know what those are? Yes the chemicals that are used to make fentanyl Exactly. Yeah, and so that was sort of the main investigation in my book like almost like 80 pages of the book are dedicated to this one company They're called Yuan Chung this Chinese company that makes more fentanyl Precursors than any company in the world You know, they they they're legit and not only that they sell them to the Mexican cartels And they're totally sanctioned not only sanctioned by the Chinese government, but they get tax breaks from the Chinese government they get Subsidies they get their land subsidized their staff training things like that and that was sort of the most jaw-dropping Revelation that I had was that the Chinese government is not only failing to crack down, but they're encouraging this industry They're encouraging the industry. That's insane. So it's just the the the idea is look it's making a lot of money Let's just keep making money Yeah, it's um, a lot of people ask me if they think this is a blatant conspiracy to try to like inflict harm upon the US a Subversive form of warfare and so I think it didn't start out that way I think that these these benefits were given so that China could increase its exports could grow its economy Particularly when it comes to chemical exports, so that's why these tax credits started. They're called value-added tax rebates and so what that means is any chemical that you use to To any Ingredients you use to make a chemical for exports you can write off the costs of those of those ingredients When you export it, so basically it's like a 16% tax rebate And so they originally did that just to try to like improve their economy improve their exports but what's crazy to me now is that Last year in the middle of the trade war This was at the height of when you heard about the trade war every day You know Trump was raising tariffs and doing this and that right at the height of that China increased the tax rebate for fentanyl from 9% to 10% So it was almost like a seems like a thumb in the eye Right, you know like for fentanyl. Yeah, it's I don't know. Yeah, it definitely seems like a big. Fuck you. Yeah Yeah, but in the New York State Democratic Party there's always been all kinds of issues So I bet I met with a whole bunch of really smart people about running for New York 17 Which is the district that I live in like the day after I lost my gig at Sirius The woman had been representing that district for 33 years announced that she was retiring and I was like well I got I got nothing going on and I've always thought about running for office and Let me you know seriously consider it I reached out to a whole bunch of people from all different walks of life Congressmen that were in office that had been out of office campaign coordinators I talked to Chris Cuomo I talked to a whole bunch of people but there's One person told me that if you want to if you want to win Regardless of your party affiliation You have to there's a certain special interest group that you had to promise you wouldn't interfere with and Make sure they got an envelope of cash and I'm like well, I'm not doing that I will tell everybody and everywhere I go about that What is it? I can't because I don't have a second source So I wouldn't say it but when I'm trying to get one to prove that it's true. What does it rhyme with? The special interest group. Yes won't do it because you'll just everybody don't know everybody'll know and it's it's it's dangerous But the point is the point is what's it? What's the opposite of that special interest group? Maybe the private sector, right, but what would be like what? They're opposed to what would it be that they're opposed to you interfering with you interfering with the way that they run their show Right, right, right, but I'm saying like what what group that we know Would be opposed. Well, yeah, I could tell you it could be a religious group a private sector a union or a company You know a corporate interest it could be any one of the point is you the point now the point is that all of those types of organizations pressure That you have to I'm an honest guy. I can't I can't lie I've never said anything into a microphone that I don't I don't believe and that's been both to my detriment and to my benefit I think I'm authentic. So when I was talking about running for office, my brother's like you got you can't you can't lie You can't be dishonest to people. How are you gonna do that? You'll have to sell out at least a little bit. That was the other thing and then I realized I'm not sure that this District or you know, the country's ready for someone like me
