Can we go to
Brooklyn Heights?
- Sure.
- It's, like, right
off the bridge.
Right off the bridge.
What was your night
like tonight hanging out?
- Cute guys?
- Yeah.
Why are you lying?
You thought all
the guys were ugly.
- No, they were cute.
- You're lying.
You were like,
"I'm so tired
and he's so ugly."
[ laughs ]
She's the one that's
single, I'm the one
with the boyfriend
and yet she won't
do anything like go out.
I know,
I'm such a bore.
So you have a boyfriend?
- I have a boyfriend.
- She does.
- What's he like?
- He was my first boyfriend.
- And my first everything.
- Ever?
Yeah, the first boyfriend
I've ever had or been with.
I was just like,
"It hurts. No more."
[ laughs ]
It was like one minute.
I'm like,
"Oh, my God!"
I was crying.
I'm like, "This hurts.
I don't think I can
handle it."
I'm like, "I quit."
So that was your first
and last time, huh?
No, it was the first time.
I was like,
"Okay, I'll try again."
Mine was a wild fling.
But you said you've
only been with one guy.
Yeah, it was definitely,
like, a fling.
Wait, before that,
you'd never been with anybody?
No, I'm like really,
really freaked out
- by relationships.
- Prude. Oh.
So you had never
slept with anyone?
- I was a total prude.
- No, this was my first time.
I was a total prude.
I only kissed like
five guys, I think.
- So where were you
when you had this fling?
- Italy, right?
No, it was
actually in Greece.
- Oh, in Greece.
- Like a Greek island.
- With a Greek guy?
Was it a Greek guy?
- Yeah.
- And it was,
like, really good.
- Was he really hot?
Yeah. He was really,
really hot.
- Was he buff like
a Greek god type?
- Yeah, totally.
- Like sculpted?
- And he was a gentleman.
- So why did he even
get the opportunity?
- Yeah?
- Why did he even
get the opportunity?
- Why did you let him in?
It's because we had
a long conversation before.
But he was--
yeah, he was so cool.
And we talked
a little bit after,
but, you know,
it was just kind of like,
"Let's leave it at where--
where it was."
It was just a beautiful
thing while it lasted.
But what was the first time
like with him?
It wasn't painful?
It was a little bit,
like the first time.
But we were together
for, like, a long time.
That night.
Yeah, so it got better.
It was good.
It was great sex.
Oh, Jessica,
that's so cute.
So what about you?
Well, I-- I'm just not
a sexual person.
Like, I never really
enjoyed sex.
Like 3% of women
just are really
hard to please.
I'm basically
that person, too.
I'm that person, too.
Like, we can not
have sex--
I was like, "Babe,
we can not have sex
for the rest of our lives
and I wouldn't care."
And he was like,
"No, I want to please you."
I wish I had a normal
sexual drive, 'cause that
would be amazing.
- There's a pill
for that now, I think.
- Really?
- I think so.
- I should be on it
times 10.
[ laughs ]
Then you'll be like
a 16-year-old boy.
- Yeah.
- Oh, God.
Adolescent.
So you're in love
with your boyfriend?
Me? Yeah.
But I'm part of,
like, the 5%.
[ laughs ]
The 5%?
What is the five?
Like, I don't know,
the people who can't
get orgasms.
So you've never
had an orgasm?
I don't think so
'cause I always heard
you'll know if you have one.
I mean, I think
I've had one,
but not through--
I mean, I know
I've had one,
but it hasn't been
because of sex.
Things feel good
and everything,
but it's never
been, like--
- Phenomenal.
- Yeah, where, like,
people practically--
they tell me
you'll know if you
ever had it.
- It's like being happy.
- I feel really bad for him
because he's just
always like, "How come
I can't please you?"
I'm like,
"I don't think it's you.
I think it's me."
So he does
ask you that?
Yeah, he does ask.
Because he's just like,
"How come you seem like,
you know, like you're
enjoying things?"
And I think guys
get really, really
self-conscious about that.
- They do.
- It hurts their ego.
Yeah, yeah.
And with them,
I think they have
no control over
their body.
No, it's all, whoop!
Like I could just
be standing there
and he's like, "Bong!"
And I'm like,
"Dude, put that away."
And he's like,
"I can't help it."
You know?
[ laughing ]
Have you ever
been in love?
Me? No, never.
I'm very scared
of relationships
and love.
Really?
What does that mean?
I don't know.
It, like, really--
I don't want to feel--
I don't know, like,
that I need anyone.
I'm really freaked out
by relationships.
What do you mean
by freaked out?
I don't like the drama.
I don't want to be vulnerable.
And I feel like
it's just all girls
turn a little bit psycho
when they
get in a relationship.
You can't help it.
And I'm really scared
of being that person.
Like I don't want to see
myself be jealous
or, like, be just,
like, vulnerable.
Oh, okay.
So have you ever been with
anyone and got psycho?
Not fully,
but a little bit.
And it's like
I didn't fully express it,
but I definitely--
it was going on in my head
and I was like,
"What the hell is going on?
I'm f*cking crazy."
[ music playing ]
You remind me of a girl
from Barcelona.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
- Where you going?
- A crazy girl.
- A crazy girl?
- Yeah, she was
really crazy.
- Where are you going?
- Where are you going?
[ laughs ]
I'm going to
the East Village.
- The East Village?
- Yeah.
So tell me
about the crazy girl
from Barcelona.
Well, she was too hot.
- I mean, she--
- She was too hot?
There's no such thing
as too hot.
She really enjoyed
the sex, you know?
Ooh.
But she was also,
like, married,
so it was, like,
really...
- Sounds like me.
- Yeah.
No, no.
No, I'm talking
about her, not you.
No, I know.
I know.
[ laughing ]
Yeah, but-- I don't know.
You have like--
you have something, yeah.
Really?
And so she enjoyed
sex a lot?
Yeah, like sex any day.
Also any day, yeah,
any time, like.
Any time, anywhere?
Yeah, it was like
she was going even crazy.
Like she couldn't work.
She couldn't concentrate.
She had also a problem
with the boyfriend
she was living with.
So wait a minute.
So she was living
with a boyfriend?
How were you having
sex with her all night?
[ laughs ]
I was having sex
with her in the beach.
- In the beach?
- Yeah.
How is that?
I've never done that.
- You've never done that?
- No, not in the beach.
- So let's find a beach.
- [ laughs ]
- Tell me about--
- Let's find a beach.
Let's find a beach?
It was really wild.
It was like
making sex with an animal.
What do you mean?
In what way?
You know, like f*cking,
it's like--
yeah, we needed to f*ck.
- You need to f*ck
all the time?
- Yeah. Yeah.
You couldn't
control yourself?
No, we couldn't stop it.
Wow, why did you
break up with her?
It was her that decided
to stop it.
Because she was getting
addicted to it.
Like she decided to stop
because she didn't want
to take the risk
to lose everything
for that addiction.
Oh.
You know, like,
she couldn't wait
a minute.
I mean, it was like
seeing her
and really
feeling that f*ck--
I mean, I need to--
you need to f*ck me
right away because if not,
I'm going to go crazy.
Oh, my goodness.
I don't know
how to explain it
because it's difficult,
but you looked at her
and you felt that
she was really, like,
sending fire to you
from her eyes
or from her,
I don't know what,
from her feet
or from her legs.
And she was telling,
"You have to come here
so I can burn you
and I need you.
- Right away."
- What does she look like?
"Because if not,
I'm going to go crazy
and you have to
really come here."
- Where she was at,
you would go there?
- Yeah.
But not where she lived
with the man, right?
No, that's why we
were in the beach.
- Oh, okay. You never
went to her place.
- No.
- No, okay.
- Well, yeah, yeah, I did.
- You did?
- I did. Wow, that was
really funny.
We had-- the guy
had, like, to work.
- Oh, my God.
- Or something like that.
She wanted to stay
f*cking, like, 40 hours
without going out--
moving out of bed.
Holy sh*t.
Sex for 40 hours?
This girl was like--
it was really long.
It never stopped.
It was really--
it was going up
and up and up and up.
- It was more and more intense?
- More and more and more.
You needed more and more
and more always.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, but she
decided to stop.
That was, like,
I didn't expect it maybe.
She decided to stop,
like say, "Okay, I can't--
I can't-- I can't
handle this anymore."
And so you don't have
anyone now in your life?
[ scoffs ]
Yeah, I have some.
What is she like?
She made a baby
to me, so...
She made a baby
with you?
- Yeah.
- When was this?
It happened last summer
when I came to New York.
So where'd you meet
this lady?
Where'd I meet her?
In a bar in Williams--
in, like, Brooklyn.
And I was with a friend,
so she was with another girl.
So there was a guy
between them.
- Between the two girls.
- Uh-huh.
And she came to me like
we didn't know each other.
And she told me,
"Okay, can you
please help us?
Because we want to really
get rid of this guy."
And it worked.
We get rid of the guy.
- You got rid of the guy?
- I got the girl.
And I got the baby.
Oh, wow.
And you went home with
that girl the same night?
Yeah.
You wanted her
to keep it?
Not really.
Not really?
She was the one
who decided to.
And you're okay
with it now?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm quite
happy about it.
You're happy? That's good.
That's good.
- Yeah.
- Boy or girl?
It's a girl.
It's a little girl.
How cute.
Yeah. It's quite magic,
the feeling, yeah.
- Magic.
- Yeah.
But what about the girl?
Are you--
are you with her?
Or are you
just right now--
just with her
for the baby?
It's quite confusing
because you don't--
it's like you're sharing
something so intense,
so intimate with someone
that you get to love her.
If the baby wouldn't
be in the middle,
you wouldn't,
you know?
Oh, wow.
But I haven't been
enough with her yet.
That's-- yeah.
That's it.
But do you think
you can stay with one woman?
That's a big--
that's a good question.
Is it hard for you
to be faithful?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
But do you think you can
be with one woman?
Well, yeah, of course.
I mean, I--
I mean, of course I can.
But I don't know
for how long.
- You can, but--
- [ laughing ]
but you don't know
for how long?
[ music playing ]
- Hi.
- Hello.
So are you going out
or are you going home?
I'm going home.
It's a school night.
[ laughs ]
So what grade
are you in?
I'm a senior.
- So you're in high school?
- Yeah.
So what is it
that you study?
I'm a professional
horseback rider.
So what do you do,
you jump?
Yeah, I do, like,
show jumping.
Like go over
obstacles and stuff.
Oh, so where
do you actually
ride the horses?
My parents have this place
out on Shelter Island.
It's, like, out
at the tip of Long Island.
- Yeah, I know Shelter Island.
- Oh, yeah? Really?
My parents, they have this
house out on Shelter Island.
Shelter Island
is their favorite place
in the entire world.
It's kind of, like,
pretentious.
I feel like they walk around
with their nose in the air.
You know what I mean?
It's like every--
they're like
above everything.
[ laughs ]
Right.
I don't know.
It's kind of frustrating.
We don't get along at all.
What do you mean
you don't get along?
I don't agree with their,
like, way of living,
their principles,
their ideas.
Like which principles?
Okay, this is my parents'
view of someone.
They see someone walking
into a bar, that person
is automatically,
- I don't know,
alcoholic in their mind.
- Right.
But, like, drinking
three bottles of wine
at dinner
is not alcoholic at all.
You know what I mean?
It's like to them,
if there's some
kind of, like,
classy-looking
thing or, like, money
involved, it's all okay.
They live in
this little bubble
and anything that
doesn't fit under
their usual guidelines
or whatever
is just so insane
and so wrong.
And they couldn't
even give it a chance.
You know what I mean?
- Right.
- [ laughs ]
They have this house
on Shelter Island.
It's like, to them,
it's this bubble.
Everyone there, like,
thinks they're like God--
like sent from God.
Like they're like,
I don't know.
They get along
with everyone so well.
They have their Christmas
parties and c*ck parties
all year long
and blah, blah, blah,
And they all invite
each other and they always
have a good time.
And it's like everyone
is good friends there.
You know what I mean?
No one ever does
anything wrong.
Right.
It's like if I don't fall
under those guidelines,
it's like, "Oh, God.
The world is coming
to an end."
Like, "You're gonna
live the most miserable
life on the street
because you're not
exactly the way we are."
Well, have you ever done
anything that really
disappointed them?
Okay, I got arrested,
- but it was, like--
- Really?
My boyfriend was having
his 19th birthday
- on his roof.
- Okay.
And there was
a noise complaint.
So this woman goes
and calls the cops.
Oh, man.
They, like,
burst the door open.
They take--
they just pushed
past his mother.
This cop was
just like, you know,
"Arrest those two."
So we're in
handcuffs now, too,
and we're like,
"Great, we didn't
do anything."
All right, I'm not,
like, proud of it,
not the best idea,
but I had this
fake ID on me
and so I got charged
with, yeah, possession
of a forged instrument.
It's actually
a Class D felony.
- It's a felony, yeah.
- A Class D felony.
That's bad.
I got so lucky, though.
They completely
dismissed my case.
What'd your parents
end up saying to you?
Whenever they talk
about it, they're
always just like,
"God, good thing
you weren't charged
with a felony.
People with felonies
never go anywhere
with their lives.
They can't do anything.
They're just scum
of the earth."
Blah, blah, blah.
And I'm just like,
"All right, great.
You think your daughter
is, like, whatever."
Well, did they actually
talk to you about it?
Did they have like
a heart-to-heart with you?
This is gonna sound
really strange,
but, like,
the other reason I don't
get along with them
is 'cause I have
no relationship
with them at all.
I wasn't raised by them.
I was raised by nannies.
I don't even
think they know
what the outside
of my school looks like.
They've never
picked me up from school.
They've never taken me--
you know what I mean?
They literally
did not raise me.
They were these people
that would show up
at 7:00 at night
or 8:00 at night
and sit down to dinner
and tuck us into bed,
like, an hour
after they got home.
And that was it.
You know what I mean?
I got ya.
Oh, wow.
So I never
in the first place
even developed
a relationship
with them.
So it was like
the second I got arrested
and they tried to give
me all these rules...
- Yeah.
- ...I was like, "Who do
you think you are?"
- You know what I mean?
- Right, I got ya.
Who are you?
Like, where have you
been my entire life?
How can you even
say something now?
You know what I mean?
It was just frustrating.
[ laughs ]
So what's that like,
being raised by nannies?
The woman who
basically raised me,
I was so much more afraid
of, like, you know,
doing something wrong
in front of her
than doing something wrong
in front of my parents.
And did you love her,
the nanny?
Yeah, I loved her to death.
She was great.
She was so nice.
I loved her so much.
I was scared of her,
but I loved her
at the same time.
You know what I mean?
Like, she-- she was like--
she brought me
to school every day.
Picked me up
from school every day.
Woke me up in the morning.
Get me dressed in the morning.
You know what I mean?
Everything that a parent
should do, she did.
- Right.
- That was her job.
Everything that my
parents would never do,
you know, she did.
Did you actually ever
talk to them about--
like, you know,
about being raised
by the nanny?
Yeah, I've, like--
I've gone down that road
so many times.
I've tried explaining
to them, you know,
why I don't get along
with them so well
is because I wasn't even
raised by them.
And their response is like,
"That's not true.
What are you talking about?
We were there for you."
I was like, "Yeah."
Would you like to have
been closer to them,
you know, if it
was possible?
I mean, now that I'm
thinking about it,
not really,
'cause if I was,
I feel like I would
have developed
a lot of their
behaviors
and mannerisms
and ideals and ideas.
And I don't want
to be that way.
I'm glad I didn't--
you know what I mean?
I'm glad I chose
a separate path than them.
When I see those kids
from the Upper East Side
that chose or are going
to the lifestyle
that my parents
I think would imagine
me living,
some, like, you know,
girl or whatever,
like going--
like, you know,
her friend says like,
"You want to
take the subway
to go wherever?"
And it's like,
"Oh, my God.
take the subway?
No way.
That is so filthy.
I'm gonna catch
diseases by breathing
the air down there."
You know what I mean?
That is the way
my parents are.
That is the way they
imagine their kids being.
And it's like
when I see that,
I'm just like,
"That is the most
absurd thing.
Like, why--
like, are you stupid?"
- [ laughs ]
- I don't know.
I just like--
I'm glad I didn't
go down that route
and I'm not like that.
No sense of reality?
Yeah, absolutely
no sense of reality
whatsoever.
Like at all.
[ music playing ]
- Hi there.
- How are you?
Good.
How do you guys
know each other?
- Through sex.
- We work together.
What?
[ laughs ]
Oh, you forgot.
Bing.
Wait, what?
I zap up in a minute.
She don't know.
I said, "That's
the Brooklyn f*gg*t in me.
Watch this, m*therf*cker.
I got all my teeth
in my mouth at 50.
I'll knock your teeth
out first."
I'm telling you,
he's been out
since he was two.
Really?
I hung out in the Red Hook
projects in '73.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Red Hook's no joke.
- And he's g*y.
- Imagine '73.
- And white.
Exactly.
They were like,
"So, what, you a f*gg*t?"
I was like, "Yeah,
I'm a f*gg*t. What?
You want your d*ck sucked?
Take that sh*t out
or put it back in
and shut your mouth."
- Hello.
- Yeah.
What do you say to that?
You can't say nothing.
I met his one girlfriend.
His one girlfriend.
The one time he actually
was with a girl.
- You were with a girl?
- I was 14.
He was 14.
Once.
- In 1974.
- What was that like?
- Ugh.
- [ laughing ]
She still blames herself.
She still says,
"I blame myself
that he's that way.
Sex must not have been good.
It must have been my fault
because John's a great guy."
Blah, blah, blah.
So what was it like
coming out back then?
At 13, g*y wasn't
out like now.
You know, they used
to surmise something,
but no one said,
"Oh, that's a g*y."
So a lot of them
were just looking
in the neighborhood.
I knew who--
she'll tell you.
I could look a block away
and still know somebody's
coming down the block.
I just could be
like this.
You know.
You just know.
Mm-hmm.
She's so shocked
how people looked back.
She's like, "Are you
f*cking kidding me?
That guy's married
with three kids."
You have no idea
how many--
Black, Jewish, Hispanics.
It doesn't matter.
--how many f*cking men
that are married
that I knew that are married,
that play with this one
that I'm like,
"Oh, my!"
I'm like--
I'm disillusioned
as a straight woman.
I'm like, "f*ck!
How do I know?"
And I'm like,
"You know what?"
How many women say--
How many men that
I've actually been with
then may have had
g*y relations?
Because I've seen it!
This is my fabulously
g*y friend.
- [ laughing ]
- I've seen this sh*t.
So there's a lot
of undercover brothers
out there.
Oh!
'Cause I hear
it all the time.
Oh!
You just don't know.
Wait, what about the one
that showed me a picture
of his d*ck in his phone?
He's married,
his wife is pregnant,
and he's trying
to get with me
and my friend at work.
- And he's like--
- Let me just show you
what I'm working with.
In, like, two days--
two days later, John's like,
"Oh, you know the one
I was playing with
on the corner
that was talking to me?"
I was like, "Yeah."
He's like, "Look,
he showed me his d*ck."
I was like,
"What do you mean
he showed you his d*ck?"
"He sent me a picture.
He took a picture of it
and sent it to me."
- There's a hawk on the block.
- Isn't he married?
- Yeah, and she's pregnant.
- [ gasps ]
- And he wants
his d*ck sucked?
- Yeah.
Great.
I was like, "Great."
That's holding
my faith to--
I'm 43.
I still haven't found
the right man.
And I'm like, "Great.
That gives me a lot
of faith,
like I'm gonna find
the right man."
That doesn't want his d*ck
sucked by another guy.
No. Wow.
- That's crazy.
- Too bad I don't like women.
I'm f*cked.
I'm f*cked.
The thing is,
the thing I always
tell her,
like, all those guys
that say they're so straight
and they're so macho,
they're this, they're that--
They are more g*y
than any of them.
--those are the ones
that go home and throw
their legs
and their a*s
in the air to get f*cked.
That's why I'm so
disillusioned.
I was like, "Liza."
We went to this restaurant,
like, a local bar,
and I was like, "Liza,
this guy likes me."
She goes, "John,
look how straight he is.
He doesn't like you.
Stop saying every f*cking
guy is g*y."
- Right. Right.
- And he's like, "No.
- I'm serious. He's g*y."
- He came with a girl.
- Next thing I know...
- Want me to come
over tonight?
I got a huge
uncut c*ck for you.
...I go to work.
I look up and I was like,
"Why is he standing there?"
And John's like,
"I don't know."
And he's like,
"But we hung out
last night."
And I'm like,
"Ooh."
Get the f*ck out
of here.
And then
the next thing I know,
the bimbo's coming
and she's like,
"La, la, la.
Are you coming tonight?"
And John's like,
"I don't want you."
Yeah, he doesn't
want p*ssy.
Damn!
Ah!
You're k*lling me!
I'm like, "Everybody
is k*lling me!"
- This is crazy.
- Oh, it's funny.
Very funny.
We can't go out.
Because I have
competition.
And then I have
to f*cking worry about
and start thinking about,
"Well, is this guy really--
has he been with a man?"
I don't even want
to know this at this point.
- Oh, my God.
- I'm not sure I want
to f*cking deal with this.
She said,
"I'm going out with a guy.
I want to bring him around
so you can see if he really
is straight or not."
- Straight or not.
- Yeah. Yeah.
So you know right away?
Yo tengo estos.
I have a nice rack.
I have nice t*tties.
- Yes, you do.
- I got nice t*tties.
When the guy is not
looking at my t*tties
- that are put on a shelf...
- Yeah.
...and going like this
to John, "Hi."
Who's g*y?
[ music playing ]
- You going to Queens
or something?
- Yeah.
You live there
or you live here?
- No, I live here.
- Oh, you live here?
Yeah, I'm just
going there to meet
my sister's boyfriend.
- Meet your
sister's boyfriend?
- Yeah.
So what if you
don't like him?
[ laughs ]
Then I don't like him.
I'll just walk away.
She's old enough to do
whatever she wants.
Well, she's not old enough.
She's 18, but whatever.
Oh, well, you know,
she might need a little--
She knows everything
she needs to know.
I've basically
raised her, so...
- Really?
- Yeah.
What about your parents?
Well, my parents split up.
Oh, damn.
That must have
been rough.
- I know.
I have a son.
- You do?
Yeah, he's about
to be two.
Now, are you
with the mom?
Yeah, but, like,
we argue a lot.
As soon as she got pregnant,
forget about it.
Her parents were
completely against me.
- Really?
- Yeah, one, 'cause
I ain't Mexican.
I was like,
come on, don't f*cking
start that sh*t with me.
- 'Cause you're not Mexican?
- Yeah.
Oh, that really
got 'em pissed.
One time her mother,
she was like,
"I'd rather her be
with a junkie drug addict
as long as he's Mexican.
Something like that than be
with somebody like you."
- I was like damn.
- That's bullshit.
That's harsh words, lady.
Her mother convinced her
and she had a problem
with me signing
the f*cking,
you know,
the birth certificate
as the father.
I was like,
"What do you mean?"
[ laughs ]
She's like, "She wants
to put the baby
in her own name
as a single parent."
I was like,
"You can't be
f*cking serious.
I'm sitting here
through the whole labor."
You got a mother-in-law
from hell.
But still to this day,
she still defends her mother.
Have you ever felt like
it's just not worth it?
Leaving her?
I thought about it.
But, no.
You know, my son's there.
I want to be with my son.
- Yeah.
- And I do still
care about her.
But one thing that bothers me
about her arguing with me
is she always does it
in front of my son,
which is something
I never wanted
'cause that's what
I grew up around.
And I said I would never
want that for my son.
And this is what
I'm going through.
You want to hit me
while you're carrying
the baby in your hand?
Several times
she's done that.
The baby's seen
her attack you?
Yeah. So when we argue,
he starts to scream. Aah!
He gets scared
and I don't like that.
I don't like that at all.
I'm like, "You see
what you did to the baby?"
What does she say?
She's like,
"Oh, it's your fault.
You make me this way
and this and that."
And I'm like,
"You got to be kidding me.
You know, not when
he's watching us.
Are you out of your
f*cking mind?
You have the baby
in your hand.
Why would you hit me while
you're carrying our son?"
What about you as a kid?
You said you saw
the same thing, right,
with your parents?
Oh, yeah.
My dad, yeah.
Yeah, 'cause my dad
was an as*h*le.
Oh, God.
- Yeah, he was a*usive.
- No way.
Yeah. You can imagine getting
hit with an extension cord.
That sh*t hurts.
I've had welts,
like, across my arm.
You know how you get welts?
- Got hit with a bat.
- What?
Yeah, I got hit
with a bat.
That's one thing
that pissed me off.
He hit you
with a bat?
Yeah, 'cause he was
trying to sleep
and we were hungry.
- You were hungry?
- Yeah.
And so, what, you guys
were in the kitchen?
We woke him up
and that pissed him off.
That's crazy.
When I was 16,
we got into an argument.
It was really over
some dumb, dumb sh*t.
We got into an argument.
He said the wrong thing.
I tell him,
"All right, f*ck you.
I'm tired of your sh*t."
I was gonna walk away.
I was gonna walk away.
He got upset about that.
He's like, "Oh, yeah?"
He's like, "Come on,
then, m*therf*cker."
I was like,
"Come on, then, Dad.
I'm gonna bust your a*s.
I'm gonna f*ck you up."
- You told him that?
- Yeah. He came
and grabbed me.
He f*cking hit me
in the face with his head.
- With his head?
- Yeah, I thought he
cracked my nose.
- He head-butted you?
- Yeah, he head-butted me.
I said, "Let's go outside."
We go outside,
he grabbed something
and hit me in the back.
- What?
- Yeah, as soon as we get
in front of his house.
Bap! I pulled
out a knife.
Said, "Come on!"
That m*therf*cker was scared.
- He was scared.
- You pulled out a knife?
Yeah, I pulled out
a knife and I was going
at him with it.
I wasn't gonna
really stab him.
Maybe just cut him.
Maybe just cut him.
Not stab him.
Yeah, just to get
the point across.
- Did he run away?
- No.
He was standing there
swinging a stick like,
"Call the cops!"
He was telling my friend,
'cause I had one of
my friends there,
he's like,
"Call the cops."
My friend
was like, "No."
He's like,
"You're at fault."
And he had
his girlfriend there.
She called the cops.
- Your father's girlfriend?
- Yeah.
And I was like, "All right,
you f*cking p*ssy,
- I'll see you another day."
- Wow!
- That's crazy.
- Yeah, he was scared
like a b*tch.
[ laughs ]
He was like,
"Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Call the cops!"
That sh*t was hilarious.
I still remember his face.
I won't forget that.
That's priceless.
It's funny.
It's funny now, right?
No, it was funny then, too,
'cause, you know, we spoke
about it a year after that.
I was like,
"Look at you now, Dad.
You're by yourself.
You're always drinking.
You're suffering.
You're doing sh*t
to yourself.
You're by yourself
for a reason.
You f*cked up a lot
and you should admit it."
But he won't admit
it to this day.
So your mother put up
with a lot of sh*t, too?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
My mom, f*ck, man.
She's the kindest person
in the world.
To this day I feel
bad for all the sh*t
that he put her through.
At one point he pulled
out a g*n on my mom
and shot two shots
into the wall.
The f*cking shots
are still there in my wall
'cause I still live
in the same apartment.
That apartment where
you picked me up at.
The shots are still
in the wall?
Yeah, like the holes
where he shot.
- Oh, God.
- What happened happened.
The past.
I stopped getting
so angry about it.
I try to let
sh*t go easily.
So when you're with
your girl, right,
when you do get along,
is it good?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- The times are good?
I have a certain amount
of patience now,
which I never did.
But like I told you,
having a kid
is completely different.
You must really,
really love your son.
I do.
There's no limit
to what I could take
or what I could deal with.
Like when I'm really
feeling f*cked up,
I just think about him.
I'll be just like, "Wow."
There we go.
[ music playing ]
- I'm sorry, mate.
- All right.
So how's your night
been, gentlemen?
- Not too bad, man.
- A good piece of steak,
nice bottle of wine,
and some good conversation.
All right,
that's a good thing.
We'll go out,
have a few drinks,
see if we can meet a few.
So where you guys from?
Perth, Australia.
- Perth, Australia?
- Yeah.
All right.
What are the girls
like in Australia?
- Good.
- Very good-looking.
Very good-looking,
really?
They're the best-looking
girls in the world,
- but they're
the hardest to pick up.
- Why is that?
I don't know.
I think they love
themselves a bit.
But they are
absolutely sensational.
So if you can't pick
them up, who cares?
Oh, we can pick them up,
but just takes a bit of effort.
How good are you?
Well, depends what
country we're in.
Put it this way,
if we're in London,
very easy.
Really?
How so?
Well, it's-- I can only talk
from an Australian accent,
but every time I go out
in London, it's always like,
"Oh, are you Australian?
Oh, blah-blah-blah."
And over there it's
a bit different.
Like, if you chatting
to a bird, if you go
and get her number
or whatever, that means
you're going to have sex.
In Australia, if you
get a girl's number,
you got to go out
on four dates,
meet her parents,
and then you might
get to have sex.
You're kidding me.
I've done okay recently.
Actually, I can't complain
because I'm very happy
with my performances
recently, boys.
I don't know
about yourselves.
Well, you've
got a girlfriend,
so you're all right.
Yeah, I've been a little
bit disappointing
the last six months.
I have to say--
so there's three
different options.
He reckons he's been
disappointing,
I actually--
I've done pretty well,
and Mr. Girlfriend
over here has been okay.
She emailed me today.
Even though she got
a boyfriend the last
four times I f*cked her.
I keep telling her,
if you got a boyfriend,
don't text me.
Really?
She-- all four
added up, actually.
All four credentials.
- Yeah?
- No, sorry, three.
It was a little
bit loosey-ish.
- The credentials.
- What does that mean?
There's four credentials
to a good vag*na.
What are those?
Whether it's tight,
whether it's wet,
whether it's shaven,
and whether it smells good.
She had three
of the four.
- She had three of the four?
- Yeah.
What did she not have?
She didn't really have
the tightest vag*na-- pussoir.
That's 'cause she
was a sl*t.
[ laughing ]
That's 'cause she's
been c*ck more times
than John Wayne's g*n.
She's definitely
smelling well,
shaven, and wet.
Had more pricks than
a secondhand dartboard.
[ laughs ]
Look, three out of
the four is good.
Three out of four is good.
Four out of four is sensational.
Two out of the last three
have had four out of fours.
One had three out of four.
They were all four
out of fours?
No, the Irish one
had a bit of--
she didn't clean
herself up down there.
She had a bit of hair.
But it was tight
and smelled well.
So-- and it was wet.
Danish was four
out of four
'cause she literally
went and shaved
about a half
an hour before.
And the kiwi bird was--
That's good.
If you get a girl
home to her house,
and then before you
f*ck her, she goes--
She went upstairs,
had a shave,
and then come back down
and got me,
- so that
was just sensational.
- Really?
And she was Danish,
so she had the accent like,
"Yes, I want you
to f*ck me."
- Sounds German to me.
- Same thing.
And the kiwi was the same,
clean, tight, didn't smell.
- It was perfect.
- What was she like?
Well, put it this way,
her body didn't match
her vag*na.
She was good,
but she wasn't
outstanding.
She was a little bit
voluptuous.
- Is that bad?
- Oh, well...
in Australia we say
a root's a root.
Long as you
get your end wet,
it's all good.
Did you go
down on her?
No. I don't do
that anymore.
Then how do you know--
why not?
'Cause what for?
I don't get any pleasure
out of that, do I?
Oh, Mark.
You're so--
selfish lover.
She didn't care.
She was loving it.
And she was moaning, too,
with the accent.
A Danish moan?
You know how good it is
when they moan with an accent?
Just makes you
even hornier.
So did she end up
giving you head?
- I think she did
from what I remember.
- You think she did?
I can't f*cking
remember these things.
I was too pissed.
So how many numbers
exactly do you have
to have to have sex?
What do you mean?
Two out of four?
Three out of four?
Zero, as long as they
got a vag*na.
So it doesn't matter.
You've got to slay
a few dragons to get
the princess.
[ laughing ]
Doesn't matter
how many numbers,
just depends
how good it feels.
Zero out of four
is good enough.
As long as they
got a vag*na,
it doesn't matter
what it's like.
- Strap your tool
and you'll be fine.
- Kid's got standards.
[ laughing ]
Oh, that's beautiful.
[ music playing ]
- 34th and 8th, please.
- 34th and 8th?
- Yeah.
- Sure.
- So how you doing today?
- That's my ex-boyfriend.
- [ laughs ]
- And I dumped him
a week and a half ago.
What?
And I'm sitting here
and I'm just like,
"I need a f*cking
cab right now."
Are you serious?
No, he is the sweetest boy
in the whole wide world.
- Right.
- And I just broke
his heart.
And that's why
I needed to run away.
And it took him
until the day I left him
- to tell me he loved me.
- Really?
Yeah, and I said,
"f*ck you. How dare you?"
- Are you serious?
- I said that to him.
It was like,
"f*ck, how dare you?
How dare you say
that to me now?
'Cause I've loved you
for so long."
- And I told him.
- You told him that?
Mm-hmm. But like I said,
he just didn't know
how to say it.
And you can't--
you can't tell
someone what love is
until they feel it.
Right.
I wanted
to kick his a*s.
You wanted
to kick his a*s?
I've never wanted
to punch someone so--
I seriously
had to physically
leave the room
because I was going to,
like-- I was like--
I felt so betrayed.
I was like,
"I gave my heart
to you for so long."
Why go back and see him?
I'm addicted to him.
And not in a needy
way anymore.
That's the shitty thing.
That's the scary thing.
I'm like,
"Oh, my God.
I'm a complete person
and I'm still falling
for you.
What is this feeling?"
What is this?
This is my church.
- This is your
church right here?
- Yeah.
I've been a member for--
my daddy brought me there
for the first time.
And it's such
an amazing place.
- Really?
- Oh, my God, yeah.
Yeah.
So what was
the relationship
like otherwise?
- It was magical.
- It was magical?
Physically,
it's just like
our bodies belonged
next to each other.
- Right.
- It's something that--
next to God.
[ laughs ]
It's the feeling
of godliness on earth.
Right.
In what way?
In the sex way,
I don't know.
[ laughs ]
In the way that--
it's like--
you know they say
that attraction
is very chemical?
- Right.
- I'd lift up his arm
and I'd be like,
"You smell so good."
[ laughs ]
I just, like, smell him.
Oh, he smelled so good!
Like, we have
that chemistry.
That f*cking,
like, chemistry.
Wow.
Like, the first time
that I really--
we opened up to each other,
I was like, "Oh, my God."
You know what I mean?
Like when you open up
to someone?
And, like, we had that
kind of vibration.
- Like that soul thing.
- Right.
It's kind of like
when you tell someone
the worst thing
that ever happened to you.
It's like
you're opening up.
- Right.
- And you're showing
it to someone.
What happened was
we were starting to get
really, really serious
and he broke up with me
'cause he didn't know
if he wanted a relationship.
He didn't know if
he could get deeper.
You know what I mean?
- Like he could go there.
- Right.
It was like my soul
ripped in half.
I couldn't even
physically stand up.
Like, it was a very
nauseating feeling.
It felt like my legs
had been cut off.
I felt like my chest
had been ripped open.
I was in a hole
that I could never
quite climb out of.
It's beautiful how fear
feels the same
when you're about
to get hit by a car,
when someone leaves you,
and I'd imagine
right before you die.
And I was just like,
"Wow, really."
And that's when I realized
I needed to love myself.
Did you used to
not love yourself?
I didn't know that.
You don't even look at it--
You don't know what it feels
like until you actually do.
- Right.
- You know what I mean?
Like to feel like
a complete person.
I just want
to be me for once.
Like, I've never actually
been myself ever.
Ever.
It was kind of like
I just had to take out
the little pieces
that were so attached to him,
- Wow.
- one by one,
eventually,
until I became
numb to the thought
of being with him.
And then I just--
that was it.
You know what I mean?
It's like if you
honor yourself,
even if it seems so weird,
but I kid you not,
I am so happy.
- I am a happy person.
- I can see it on your face.
- [ laughs ]
- I can see it.
I am.
Ask anybody.
My friends make fun of me.
Like, "It's so beautiful.
The universe is magical
and everything
is beautiful."
I say that.
Those are words that
come out of my mouth.
But they're making fun
of me saying it.
I'm like,
"It's better than you
thinking I'm a b*tch."
So whatever.
I don't care.
