The first time I ever went to New York, my girlfriend and I were getting paid to appear on the Geraldo show
back when he had a daytime talk show... The Geraldo show, and we got paid $1,600 each plus $200 per diem each at 3 days (A total of $2,200 each) plus 3 days in a Manhattan hotel... TO LIE...
no shit. we got paid TO LIE...
It's what they used to call "filling seats"
back in the days of daytime talk shows like Sally Jesse Raphael, montel Williams, and Geraldo...
"filling seats" is exactly what they called it, and The producers of the Geraldo show new we were lying.. we were getting paid to pretend on the air, to make the show more entertaining...
The booking agent who called me started the conversation by saying "how'd you and Jill each like to make 1600 Filling Seats"?
(telling fake stories to spice up the show)
NEW YORK IS A DISGUSTING FUCKING CESSPOOL
It's absolutely the most disgusting fucking toilet I've ever seen
It's also quite fascinating...
I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fascinating
But it's scary
The same way a clogged toilet is scary
It's frightening
The same way a public urinal in a leprosy colony is frightening
every disgusting molecule that makes it to your olfactory receptors is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DISGUSTING
your brain will smell things you've never smelled before, the actual DNA of different humans that you never knew existed
as you walk past them, they are exhaling, and you are inhaling and it is the most disgusting petri dish I've ever seen
available melting pot of every disgusting cough and sneeze and microscopic drop of saliva and touching door handles and eating food and rubbing your eyes
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING
(and doing the Geraldo show was a blast! My girlfriend and I had a blast! It was great)
