 Greetings, everyone. This is James P. Madonna of Megalife 21 and Progressive Discussions. And before I go on to do my next video talk show, I am stopping by from my immediate area off Route 17 South in Hasbrook Heights, New Jersey, the one and only, the famous Bendic Steiner as seen on the Jerry Seinfeld Netflix series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. That's right. It is in my close area and I love it here. Outstanding food, outstanding coffee and I will go in soon before I go on to do my next show. James P. Madonna of Megalife 21 and Progressive Discussions here. And aside from the famous Bendic Steiner in Hasbrook Heights, New Jersey, Route 17 South, right behind the famous Teterboro Airport where everyone with private jets lands who wish to visit New York City, we are right next door, directly next door to the famous Bananas Comedy Club in the Holiday Inn on Route 17 South in Hasbrook Heights, New Jersey. And there it is. The famous Bananas Comedy Club with a very highly rated Gabriel's Restaurant. That's one point Jackie. I told her three years ago. What insurance does your mother have? Wellcare. That's it. And Medicare and Medicaid. Both. Yeah. You're sure? Yeah. But the point is... Wait, no, no, no. I told her... I've got to know this for Jackie. Okay. She's on Medicare and Medicaid and Wellcare. Yeah. You're sure? Yes. I think you have Wellcare. I also was in D.C. on Saturday night, August 7th. But I was at a small gathering at Becky's house. God bless you. You can read tiny micro fish. This isn't tiny. To you it is. You write for billboards. This is not tiny. Some people type really well. I type lousy. Yeah, you know. Well, they don't get my language. That's loud. But she's got wax on her. There's a can here. That's it. No, I mean, every year I tell... I told my sister, you cannot put an air conditioner in elderly person's bedroom. Cold air. It doesn't matter. You live there. She doesn't want you to throw off something like that. I do. And you know what? I'd rather have the hallway fan on than having cold air in a woman's room. Yeah, but you're there at night or something. I know. I shut it off. This is the third time she got pneumonia. And this is the worst. Third? I didn't know she had it before. Yeah, she had it before. You all are doing something wrong here. I turned her up. My sister insists, put it on. You know, I'm like, I pay the rent. Put it on. No, it's about wax. Well, obviously something's wrong. This is not right. And the nurse dropped the ball. I'm sorry. She... I told her... I wish I could call back. Come on, man. I've got... No. ...a legendary fine-star basketball game. And who's the offensive lady? Oh, this is the first time I heard this guy talk so much. Yeah, he doesn't matter. It's not important now. I'm not interested in... I was in town. Anybody... Anybody who's buddies with Trump, I have no interest in. Oh, wow. He's lifting weights. That's not important, Jimmy. Your mom's a more... I know. Right now. Come on. You keep getting off topic. And I keep falling back. Well, I'm trying to pacify my mind. You can't. But you do that about other things. You always get off topic. Stay focused. I know. But he said something. I don't care what he said. It doesn't matter. He's not going to help your mom. Okay? No. All it is. In the summer of 1981, I had words constructed. You have to listen to what I tell you things. You think I'm going to give you bad advice, and if I don't know something I'm going to tell you, I don't know. I'll find out. Well, you know why I end up bucking heads with it? Because she has power of attorney. Well, if she shouldn't have it, how would she get it? She doesn't know what she's doing. At the time, the last lawn kind is in the summer of various lawns... To know it all Scorpio this one. I've played in a lot of summer league basketball. It's Jackie Cole. Come on, man. I'm practicing at night at Blair High School. I keep waiting for calls. I don't like it. Yeah. Well, you'll let the detailed message. I mean, you know. No, no. I spoke to her. I said, can I call you when I get to McDonald's? And, you know, she goes, yes. I called me when I sat down. I'm waiting. I said, Jesus, people, come on. She's probably at the office. No, I don't leave a detailed message. You should never leave a detailed message. Never do that. Don't do that? No. Oh, I leave the Gettysburg address. That's stupidity. No. Well, you save time that way. No. Get to your point. This is Jimmy Madonna calling. I'm going to talk to you about something. Call me right away, please. Bye-bye. Don't say, well, I don't want to discuss this. I want to do that. No. Never give details on the phone. Well, this way it saves energy when they call you. It bores the people to death. Well, let me tell you something. You don't yak on the phone. You don't yak on the phone. End of argument. Only when you have a significant... Please call me back. I've got something important to tell you. I need to ask you. That's it. I've got other people to do that. I'm like, stop it. I'm like, stop believing such a long message. You don't do that. I said, oh, I said, what's wrong with all of you? This insane desire to talk to people. And then they fill up your... What happens? They fill up your... Take your point. No, but they fill your voicemail up. Not my ex. I get it. No, I don't write the elite message. No, I won't. I'll call somebody that says voicemail is full. You know what I did with Jackie? On every call she goes, you know, Billy, what you do is... This is Billy. Nothing wrong. Give me a call, please. Or this is Billy. I've got some bad news. Please give me a call. Bye. That's what you say. You don't give the whole message. That asshole, the old guy, Rizzy, when Peter committed suicide two years ago. Billy just called me. Peter killed himself committing suicide. You don't leave a message like that on the phone recording? What is wrong with all of you? Is Rizzy the Popeye dude? No, that's Popeye. Oh, Jesus. What is wrong with everybody? I tell them over there what we're talking about. They say, Billy, you always give us great advice. I tell them, when I tell you something, I say, I'm nobody's fool. You were planning a huge corporation building, whatever. I said, I've never been a fool. I was chatting with people in the doctor's office. They were complaining about how millennials are today, and they couldn't get over it. Hey, there was an older, a middle-aged man with a blazer on. I held the door open for him. They don't say a word. He didn't say a word. No, thank you. I told a guy this morning, you're exactly right. I said, what's good? He could answer me. My point. And this son of a bitch couldn't say thank you. I held the door open. I said, what's good? I don't care. That's over the door. He walked through. He's an asshole, end of argument. He's a moron. I told him, what's good? Oh, you're negative. I'm facing reality. What's good? This is why I read. I said, look me in the eye. What's good? You can't say anything. You can't say anything. Get your head out of your ass. Stop pretending everything is beautiful. It's not. You've got missing children, murdered children, dismembered bodies. Molestations of children. Beyond children. Human trafficking. I know. But nothing is good as my point. People have got to face reality and facts. And they don't want to. The bottom line is they play ostrich. Get your head out of the hole in the sand. Stop pretending nothing is going on. This is why I respected what Sharers told David Letterman. When somebody asked me how... When I asked somebody how they are, I really want to know. I respect that. What's my answer, Jimmy, all the time? Tell the truth. What do I say? You know, when I say, I don't like bites or socks. I always say, oh, I'm great. Have you ever heard me say that? I said, yeah, I don't like bites. Tell the truth. Thank you. They had a psychiatrist, I think, a few years ago. So when you always say I'm good or I'm great, you're in denial. They said, tell the truth. I said, thank you. When you told me that you even tell good-looking women what's really going on, the absolute truth, your situation, you know what it reminded me of? When George Costanza went up to the girl in the diner and said, I'm unemployed, I live with my parents, and she pulls the chair and says, where have you been all my life? In other words, he just laid it all out there. What are you doing here? I got evicted. My people forgot to pay my rent for a number of months, so I'm out, but everything's done. I'm going back in shortly. I don't know where. So what are you ashamed of it? I'm not ashamed of it. I guess the skit, man, honesty ends up winning most of the time. They were talking about today on a show to a point, honestly, sometimes shut up. They'll say, God, Jamie, you've got something big to sit on your nose. What a schnozzle on you, man. Your nose is so big. Some things you don't say. Yeah, you gotta be tactful, you know? Yeah, I mean, really. I mean, you can't fight. Oh, and of course, of course, there's crumbs. Do I need to do it? No, you look fine. Don't say, yeah, you really do. Oh, yeah, if you tell your significant other, hey, chubsy of the, you know, you put a lot of work down. You know, use common sense. Thanks. Sometimes it's best to say nothing. Sometimes common sense will try to help people like Eileen, and they will not listen. You know, there's nothing worse than expending energy to help somebody like Eileen. I'm talking to a war. It just bounces off you, Eileen. Have you ever drove to Rochelle Park? I told you that. To welfare? I told you that. She says it wouldn't do any good. I said, how do you know? What's the Rochelle Park, the doctor or what? No, Burton County Board of Social Services. What did the ambulance say? No, she didn't know. She never went. But she tells us, oh, yeah, I'm going to go. I'm going to go. My mom is supposed to be all right. My friend Jimmy Madonna's mother was taken to the hospital. There's Marie, the pneumonia. She's going to be OK with this battle remedy. This group of visiting home nurses is at their risk for his mother. Are they any good? Dr. Reiser and Jersey. No good. There's Jimmy's mother knee, valley, home care. There are your answers. You've got three in a matter of 30 seconds. What you have sucks. Your mother will be fine. And the valley, home care. Yeah, I told you what the Dominican nurse does. Do Jimmy and his mother need to listen more to me when I give them hopefully good advice? Look at the spin. How big that got. You have no idea what I tell my sister. Exactly what you tell me. Let me ask you something. Am I going to give you bad advice? Hell no. If I don't know something, I'm going to say what? I don't know. I really don't know James. I'll find out. Let me call Jackie. Yeah. How many times have they told you that? You've always been a hundred percent honest. I won't lie to somebody I don't know. Listen, you've always been that way. You've always been honest. When I tell you something, it's for your own good. And when you give her a dopey advice, it's for her own good. That's me. That's me. It all comes back to that. You can't get through to people. I noticed the Popeye guy cuts you off a lot when you try to talk. No, he gets upset with me because I cut him off a lot too, though. I told him, yeah, you called the whole office. It was good for one day. I went back. What happened there? That's what he did. What could be cutting off Joseph? You know, a third Asian said, yeah, yeah, yeah to me. I almost, I almost felt like flipping out. Shut up with the, yeah, yeah, yeah. What the fuck does that mean? Remember when he came over here one day and he got here? I said, oh, here comes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Asian called, Asian called. Here comes Asian called. Let's go over here. Stacked calls we're rushing in, though. Well, take your phone. What's here? Yeah. Don't do what I mean. She leaves her phone home. Why don't they come forward? I said, what? Remember, why do you have it? Why do you have it? Oh, my God. You know what? That gave me such a headache when she told me, she showed me she had an iPhone. She has a better phone than me. And she says, oh, I didn't bring it. I take my calls at home. Well, what's the point in having a cell phone? Why? What? Take them at home. What is the point? Why don't you take your calls with you? Let's go. Yeah. Otherwise, why have a cell phone? The Winchester and the Henry Rifle. The two, two most popular. Henry's an old company. They did a close-up of the rifles on, I think, Silverado. I think the guy says, Henry Rifle. He announced it. Beautiful rifle. You had that western engravement in the metal part? Well, that was probably Hank Aaron. No, Henry, not Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth? Babe Ruth was somebody's daughter. You know, I think the Orioles should have really stood in Baltimore when Babe Ruth was young. They should have just, you know, got the name of the Mars family, got the name of Snickers? Dog, right? Dog's name? Horse. A horse? Family horse. Snickers. You said the Mars family? Okay. Mars Canada is the Mars family. Yeah. Come on, Jackie. Man. Let's get this rifle hit over. Yeah. Let's have this back to them. Bringing this with you, because I'm writing things down about your mom from Jackie, okay? Bring that with you, all right? Well, I know it'll be a vast improvement if she switched the valve or something. Something? I mean, you know, it's like... Well, she's... Where's your mom? Hackin' second, by the way. She's in Hackin' Second. You know what she got approved for recently? They have a new line of pureed foods for the elderly. They have no teeth. I'm sure they've had that. Come on, people have been with us forever. Yeah. You know where they probably got it from? When my sister used to date this guy that was in station in Afghanistan? The military food comes in pouches. Like, it'll say, like... It'll say, like, Yankee pot roast or something, and then you open it up and it'll be pureed. It tastes good. That was great. I said, could you get this? How much could you get? I like this. He says, oh, I can give you all you want, James. He says, keep it coming, man. I ate it. I ate it for a snack. Come on, man. His name was Bad. Well, how about Master? Bad Master's name. Something... I know his name was Bad. Bad Master's name. Later on. I ain't forgot the actor. I like Richard Boone's business card. I had the chess piece the night. He was a gentleman. The night. A liar. Who played a liar? The original liar? I don't know. I don't know. Robert Conrad was a federal marshal. Now, what was Richard Boone? Was he a sheriff? Or was he a marshal also? I don't know if he's either. He's a good guy. Like a private investigator? Remember how, like all you saw were a private investigator in a TV series? It was the 70s, right? So many. And then you had Tom Selleck. Yes, yes. Magnat P.I. With Higgins. He was from Texas, you know. In real life? Yeah, Higgins, yeah. He passed away recently. Yeah. Yeah, he just did a British accent really well. Oh, that wasn't his real accent? No, he was from Texas. Beta O'Rourke, the progressive candidate. He's a smart guy. A guy from Texas. Beta O'Rourke. Really? I was listening to him. I go, man, this guy is sharp. He's like Avenatti, Michael Avenatti. They're gonna have really bright futures. I know it. Both of them. I mean, if he wanted to get into politics, he can do it like this. But he's been around for quite a while. He looks young, but he's been around. Yeah. Okay. They call him back. This has been a Mega Lab 21 production.
