Hot For Teacher

From Workhouse Connect and A.J. Benza. Fame. He liked to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. The guy put the cock in the Peacock Network, okay? Bitch. Hey everybody, A.J. Benza here with Fame is a Bitch. This is your daily unfiltered podcast for April 8th, 2026. 0-4-0-8-2-0-2-6. Like it. Everything is even. the 4, the 8, the 20, the 26. I love it. It's a good start. Hope you're having a good day. Came home from work early today. There were some problems in the recording room with some wires. Who knows? We got out about an hour and a half early. Came home thinking I'd be watching the war, but Trump gave him two more weeks before I send you back to the Stone Age. I know the Stone Age very well. Yeah, I mean, it's sad, you know, the whole thing. People, innocent women and children making a chain around these nuclear plants. And I don't know what the fuck. It's just, this is so gross. But I'm not one of those people who's going to sit back and go, we can't do this. Let's just stop. Let them stay with what they have. They're not going to bother us. No, you got to put your foot on their necks and bash their heads open. I'm sorry. You can't just, when they're saying death to America for 47 years and doing all they can to kill our soldiers, et cetera, and fucking around with the whole Middle East. I'm sorry. Killing their own people. You know, this is why I wanted Trump in the beginning. I didn't like the way the world was with respect to how they treated their people in different countries and then threatening us. It was getting to be ridiculous. We were being kicked around like the redheaded stepchild. Trump shows up. Fuck you. We're America. You don't do that to us anymore. And he's making that known. I love it. I love it. But you know me. anyhow get to more about the second it's not a political show don't worry i do want to say rosalie uh puts out a group text to me joey and his wife julia this morning and she's dad fell uh you know she's downstairs on the couch probably falling asleep by 8 39 because she gets tired she'll ask me what movie should we watch i'll say try this movie you know if she worked that day then by the time 8, 39 o'clock comes, she's done. She'll fall asleep. The mouth's open, catching flies. Hey, Jeff, must have fallen asleep. How'd that movie end? How'd it end? You don't even know how it started. Anyhow. Hey, guys, dad fell last night. Ba-ba-ba. You know, she's doing the whole thing. And apparently he was calling her name for an hour. She didn't hear it. That's why when I was there, you know, I could hear it. I was, like, very sensitive to, even though it was two floors above me, I was sensitive to loud noises when I was sleeping. I slept light. Anyhow, so she goes, he touched, he grabbed his life alert button and pressed it. And I didn't know, and I'm not going to do it. And there's like four men coming in, you know, paramedics to help dad. I'm like, what's up? Oh, your husband fell. And they said to him, why don't you hit the life alert button an hour ago? Oh, I forgot. Because it's a new thing. and they they got him up up up on you know uh the guys loved rosalie and they were looking at pictures they saw me and stallone and jackie in one picture who knows stallone your family oh that's my brother and my son my brother was in the movie but really nice guys and i'm surprised rosalie didn't feed them cook for them but she says you know i think i'm gonna give your father a whistle now so i'll hear the whistle if you blow i said sure give him a whistle put his uh umpire's big padded chest protector on him so if he falls forward he won't go matter of fact put his umpire's face mask on right so he can't shatter his face like the last time and he got a bunch of stitches on his nose and forehead even put shin guards on him so don't bump his legs into the dresser when he goes to the bathroom and you put him in bed put baseball on and he'll think he's out there calling a game but this is what you do when things are bleak and times are bad we we have to make each other laugh or else, you know, it's just too sad. And I said, this reminds me of daddy. When my father was dying, I would see him every day after college. And I drive, the hospital was 15 and 10 minutes away from where I went to school. And I would come in, clean him up. You know, his skin was always dry and flaky and peeling. It was awful. And after months in the hospital, I said, let me, because they let him smoke. They let him smoke in bed. This is 1985. five. It was a different world. Even guys smoked in the waiting room. I was with so many gay men because my father was on the AIDS floor because his skin was, it was, the cancer was very noticeable on the, on the skin level, epidermis, epidermis. Yeah. Holes, sores. It was just awful. So I was with a lot of gay guys and they all look, you know, so some of them had the sunken in look like they had AIDS too. you could tell but before you went to my father's room you had to put gloves on it was all that i didn't put gloves on fuck that so i walk in one day i said let me give that a treat it's been years i've been months i put a little doer's scotch into a little medicine bottle like to give him a shot of scotch what the hell the little pleasures in life you know he loved his scotch so i go dad here try this what's this i said just drink it he drinks it you should have it looked like he put a red hot poker up his ass. He's like, what is that? I said, that's, it's Dewar's. It's Dutch. No, no, no. He couldn't. He's like, he was breathing fire. No more. Never again. Oh my God. I said, you drank that every day. No, no, no. That's done. That's over. I'm thinking about that because Jack is telling Rosalick, he was in the hospital for about five days a few weeks ago and he comes home. You know, I have the hospital food wasn't bad. I liked it. Like as if telling her because he'll tell her, oh, I couldn't eat your food last night. It was cold. She said, because you let it sit on the dresser for an hour and a half. Of course it's cold. Well, I didn't like it anyhow. Very like, I didn't like it. So she makes, every Easter, Rosie makes a big pie we call pizza rustica. It's very Italian. It's a baked pie. Inside the pie is sausage with fennel, chunks of ham, chunks of salami, rigotta, mozzarella, grated cheese. It's a very Italian thing for Easter. He said, I don't think I like your pizza rustica. He's been eating it 60 years every Easter. Now he tells her. So she has to laugh because we all know it's craziness. Oh, God. When the end comes, some people are just, it's, what are you going to do, guys? You got to make yourself laugh or else life can be so overwhelmingly sad and trying that some people may think it's callous. But no, it's not. You know, I laugh at funerals. Not because I think it's funny, because I've got to stop myself from being overly emotional. You know, thank God my buddies, Agavino, Kenny Wood, Mike Gallagher, Tony Bach, they're all the same. So when we went, Chico, of course, when my father died, you know, my cousin Raymond, who was a big long-haired guy, went to Vietnam, came back and really became like one of those long-haired, long-beard dudes. You know what I mean? He was in music. He was just, Raymond was wild. and he's at the funeral. My friends don't really see him. They don't know him because he was like 15 years older than me. So it's a very solemn moment. Somebody's about to talk, a preacher, a priest we don't know. My father was more than agnostic. He didn't believe in God at all. Either way, priest is about to, Mike Gallagher turns to me really quiet and goes, he points to my cousin Raymond. He goes, it's good that CZ Top came to your father's wedding. I mean, how do you not laugh? The four of us broke apart. Like, it's just too funny. Thank God. But like I said, I came home from work today to watch the war on TV, as bad as that sounds, and I find out Trump gave him two more weeks, and that's it, and that's it. And people are losing their minds. The celebrities are screaming. Padma Lakshmi, who I think is so fucking beautiful, the model who does all the cooking shows. You've seen her. She's Indian of Indian descent. And she's like, you know, and I talked to her online, but I can't anymore. I know that she's liberal. She took a picture with De Niro and Al Sharpton on no King's day in New York. I know. I know. But I enjoy saying hello to her here and there, whatever. Can't do it anymore. She's like, this Trump has got to go. He's no good. The guy was adjudicated in court. He's a rapist and a felon who's guilty on 34 counts. He's crazy. He's got to go. First of all, don't say he's a rapist. That's not the charge. And you're going to get sued. And Trump will go after you. And I hate the guilty 34 counts. It means 34 different itemized things on a fire. It's so stupid. He didn't go out there and hold a gun to someone said 34 different times and robbed convenience stores. It was a notation. It was an itemized notation in a bank book, whatever the fuck. Either way, they don't have my algorithm because my algorithm on Instagram, I see so many men and women in Iran making videos, begging Trump to keep bombing. These people, many of them have been fighting for their lives for decades, some of them. And as sad as it is, the sound of bombs and missiles and rockets and drones, they're common. They're as common as a police siren in Schittsville. I mean, I hate to say it. I'm not saying it's good to live that way, but it's so part of their culture. Even if America's not around, Iran's throwing bombs left and right. Israel's hitting NAMM. They hitting Qatar It bananas You know and I hear Tucker Carlson saying such stupid shit Trump's going to use nuclear weapons. Trump's going to use nuclear weapons in Iran. And Kamala Harris is saying things on that order. They're just full of shit. He's not going to do that. I wish, you know, you want to get them really upset in Iran. Take Tucker Carlson's crazy laugh, record it, and put it on a loop. Take that. and then get Kamala's cackle, that stupid fucking cackle, lay them on top of each other on a long loop, let that play 24 hours, just drop them down with parachutes all over Iran, let them hear this shit they can't shut them off, they have to shoot them. That'd be cruel and unusual punny. The Geneva Convention would probably say you can't do that, not those two. But you don't need a doctorate in political science or military history to understand that Iran, they're fucking bastards. They won't stop at anything until they achieve nuclear capability. And it means that they want to be able to deliver it far and wide. And we know that. They've been very open about saying it. Trump's the first guy with balls to not be afraid like the others were. To say, fuck you, you're not having it. Ever. It's hard to hear that because you go, who are we to tell a country they can't get nougat? But yet we can because we're the toughest people on the block. And I said this when Trump entered, I want a tough guy. I want our enemies on their heels. And that's where we have all of them. And that's great. And these pussies in Hollywood don't get it. They've never had a fight. They've never faced off to somebody. They swallow their pride, tuck their tail in their assholes, and walk the other way. They're all pussies. Outside of maybe 5% of them are tough guys. Well, people don't take shit. The rest of them are just rollovers. But Tucker and Candace Owens, the things they're saying, for clicks, likes, and subscriptions. They're just going bananas. Mike was on top of this months and months ago. They're rooting for Iran. And the reason is they despise Israel. And I don't want to be one of those voices who brings up Israel, everything's Israel. J.D., Jeffrey Upstead, he was an Israeli, Mossad. I can't stand how every story folds into Israel. I can't. Although I will tell you, my father, I probably said this many times, My father always said, if this war comes to an end, it's going to be Israel has something to do with it. Just, you know, obviously, they're our ally. People hate them. They've been kicked out of how many hundred countries? Their history, you know, we know their history. I'm not saying it's right or wrong. It just is what it is. Kicked out of 109 countries, is that the number? I don't know. I get along with Jews. Fuck. So I won't be one of those voices who make it seem like it's all about Israel. I can't. It's all about America right now. Trump's not doing this for Israel. Death to America is said as often as death to Israel. We're the great Satan. They're the little Satan. So he's doing something about it. Stand behind him. Thank God the Tuckers and Candaces weren't in charge in World War II. We'd be speaking German and Japanese by now. We'd be speaking German eating fucking sushi. let's move over to uh america and let's get into this nancy guthrie story it's still out there it's kind of like what are we still doing about this well tmz uh had uh once again got two more ransom notes the other day and these notes from this person say we know where nancy guthrie's body is and who's responsible for the kidnapping there were two notes sent from the same mystery person who started about two months ago who just demanded one bitcoin which is like 70 grand give me a bitcoin i'll give you the information related to uh savannah's mother's disappearance on february 1st so harvey got another letter today same person with an email i know where her body is and who the kidnapper is give me half a bitcoin and i'll tell you so now he's coming down to half of Bitcoin, $35,000 and change. And the note also did say, she is dead. I mean, I'm not surprised. A woman of that age, without medication and under such duress, I think she was dead within a day. I don't think they wanted to sit around talking to her. But the first note was addressed to TMZ Live, and Harvey talked about it. And the guy said, I saw her alive with them in the state of Sonora, Mexico. And TMZ got the FBI involved. The guy says he'll surrender the information for half of Bitcoin and another half of Bitcoin transferred to their wallet when there's a public arrest. Look, this guy is nothing if not persistent. He's not a bother. But you got to admit, I mean, I'm curious to what this guy knows. It could be a scam. It could be a hoax. But for something this important, you got to investigate. He's not asking for a million dollars. It's $35,000 and $35,000 on the close. We can't come up with that. If I were hard to live, I'd do it myself. I'd give him $35,000 out of my own pocket, write it off as a business expense, and watch my numbers rise with TMZ. Because, by the way, many cities around the country are getting TMZs off the air. I don't know if you know that. But they're doing less and less than they used to do. They're not as popular as they used to be. And let me just tell you why real quick. Anybody in the business of gossip, whether it's me, Howard Stern to a degree, Harvey Levin, anybody that's reporting on celebrity. What's his name? Oh, God. There are newscasters who Bill O'Reilly. They tend to get what happens after a while when you're reporting on celebrity. You start to feel dirty. I wanted to take a shower after some of the columns I wrote. not because I think the business sucks, but because I was in there too long. I had my hand on the stove too long. And, you know, initially you want people to like you. Then you get attracted to the power of your job and you see what you can do, whether you're Harvey, me, Howard, or Bill. I know I'm putting myself in some pretty big company, but I had a big job for a while. And, you know, I was, I could make or break you back then. And eventually it's not to be friendly with some of the people you're writing about. And it's natural to want to protect some people. Trust me, Harvey Levin protects so many celebrities. Liz Smith protected celebrities. You protect the bigger ones because they'll have information on other stories. They'll come to you and say, listen, don't touch this affair story. I know it's making the rounds. I got something bigger for you or better for you. And they'll drop a dime on someone else and you'll run with that story instead. That's the dirty part about the business. and uh look bill o'reilly reported on people very honestly and fairly but then he started getting nice you know why you start making those trips from new york to la you spend a weekend a long weekend in la you have a barbecue you're swimming in warren beatty's pool suddenly you're not gonna write bad things about that guy you met his wife and that betting was so nice you gave your finger food now i'm gonna write about that kid who was transgender i can't do it you have a heart and uh howard stern christ he made fun of everybody he loved gossip that's why he had me on so much he loved hearing stories about people now he's friends with all the people he made fun of he vacations with addison bateman uh kimmel fallon they wear the same fucking shirts at the beach and harvey levin i think is kind of being this look harvey's 75 years old you can't do this business forever. He's made a fortune. Good for him. Starting out holding a microphone outside the people's court. And it turns into, I don't know if you know the story. While he was doing the people's court with a microphone outside, he saw this kid. I forget his name. I should have looked it up first, but I didn't know I was going to talk about this. There was a kid with a camera and he was shooting pictures of, I think it was OJ's people coming in and out. And Harvey's like, what are you doing? He's telling the guy, I take these pictures, and I go on the internet. And Harvey Bells went off in his head that, holy shit, we can have a whole show of celebrity gossip. I mean, a lot more went into it than that, but sold the show, made a fortune. If I'm Harvey, he's 75. He's got a 61-year-old boyfriend for many, many years. They just had a kid via surrogate, obviously. It's kind of not fair for the kid to have two parents over 60, one over 70. The kid's going to be eight when they're both dead. This is not a good idea. But these gays want a baby. Calm down. Jesus. So it does get dirty. You want to leave, walk away. I understand. But, I mean, look, the guy is really getting upset, this man. He's like, listen, it's unbelievable that millions have been wasted. And yet here I am, willing to deliver to them on a silver platter since February 11th for Bitcoin. But I'm disregarded as a scam. they are free and the case is frozen but the egos remain hot when it comes to me doesn't talk like a dumb guy and says he'll surrender the information for half the bitcoin and the others half transferred to his wallet after there's an arrest it's not that big a deal like if some Savannah Guthrie why'd you go back to work because she wants them to know that they can't beat her just don't cry stay home with your family and your siblings and try to do something on your own to make this become a clear case of what exactly happened. We don't need you on today's show with fucking Jenna Bush, whatever her name is. I've never watched that show. I can't stand those shows. No one a journalist It just so stupid Jenna there only because when George Bush dies they get the first interview That all this is Just like when her grandfather died and her grandmother died Get her on the air. We got dibs. It's unbelievable. It's kind of arrogant that no one's doing anything. You know? I just... I don't know. Listen, Arizona, you got to get your act together. The Pima County Sheriff's Department fucked this up initially with that stupid sheriff who loves cameras but doesn't know how to solve crime. But you're going to see him on that reality show coming soon. Desert Heat. No, Desert Law. Some bullshit title that's really about the men and women at the Pima County Sheriff's Department. You can't make this up. They're going to be a reality show. Unless the network said, let's pull this. these people are just idiots, but they filmed it already. And this, this sheriff really liked cameras in his face, as you could tell back in February. But honestly, for half of Bitcoin with the other half coming after, I mean, just do it and see what happens. It's a drop in the bucket for Savannah Guthrie. You know, the person doing this or no knowing about this is very persistent. And it's a relatively small amount of money given the circumstance. Like I said, if I'm Harvey Levin, I'm paying $35,000 to this informant to see what can be turned up. Write it off as tax deductible expense. And if the case is solved, TMZ goes off the charts and they're back in those cities they were pulled from. I don't know. But the idea, well, I don't know whose idea it was. Let's get Savannah back on the air. That's a bad idea. Look, she's got millions, okay? Give up the show and the extra few million in income. do something to help other people or live for your children or do something meaningful after this instead of trying to return to what was drastically changed not just for her but for the audience and her colleagues we'll never look at her again on tv and think we never have a blank slate when we see her face we're gonna think of her mother being pulled out of the house with blood in the foyer and i you know i think she probably was dead within two three days but it's not the same. No one's going to want to see her on TV with a new cheerful report on, here's what we're doing for Easter. No one gives a shit. Your mother's dead or missing. I don't know. I would never want to sit in the public eye and do that after what happened. And it's not resolved. That's traumatizing. The whole thing is sad. It's going to be sad forever. Let's talk about two sick people, two sick women, but they're one, they're two women. They have joined a club that's, boy, it's growing in leaps and bounds. I'm talking about the club of not so hot teachers, some hot teachers who fuck students, male students. It's getting ridiculous. Thank God we hear more of those stories than a male teacher messing with a female. But there's so many of these stories about these unhappy women betting down these school boys. So these two teachers now We're doing the same guy One of them is the teacher One of them is the oldest sister of the Baywatch star Noah Beck She's been accused of Sexual misconduct with the same Teenage kid at the Arizona high school she works at along With another teacher Haley Beck is 27 years old She was fired over this That she groomed him Then had sex with this student Even paying him and she admitted in messages that the police check felt like straight prostitution, which she was doing, yet she never stopped. And another teacher at the school, Angela Berlaca, is 47, 20 years older. She resigned from her job about 25 years after she sent that same boy a video of her saying his name while naked, and she was touching something that wasn't the stove or, you know, a wooden spoon. You get the picture. little randy 47 year old but then again 47 women that's kind of their peak hate to tell you gang it's kind of a woman's sexual peak so burlaka really really uh really piling it on there but yeah this is crazy the boy's grandmother found one of the videos on his phone and went straight to authorities thanks grandma trying to get off on school you know trying to have some fun I'm trying to tell stories. You're going to the cops. Why don't you come to my mother and me and my father? Right to the cops? Bad grandma. Now Beck, the first teacher who was 27, was hired back in 2020, and began having sex with a kid pretty quickly. And get this, it wasn't a mystery because the mother told police that she knew her son was, quote, having sex with a teacher named Haley Beck. Okay. so grandma got the video of the lady touching herself and the mother knows he's banging hailey back and this began when the kid was a sophomore into his junior year she was his psychology teacher thought about a head fuck i mean here's your psychology teacher doing this to you wow this mrs beck or miss beck would do his homework she gave him bigger grades better grade. She gave him special treatment in class, I'm sure. She let him use her car. She bought him gifts, including alcohol and drugs, paid him 600 bucks at one point. She called herself his sugar mama. And in thousands of text messages that were exchanged between them, she would say, this feels straight up like prostitution. But she kept going back. And she didn't like being compared to the 47-year-old teacher because she said, even though our situation is still not right, at least him and I are closer in age. I don't like being compared to Mrs. B. This is sick. You're still talking like that? My God. But she wrote him a letter saying, you know, this relationship is extremely wrong, but I feel like we've made the most out of it. Well, that's nice. Here's what we need, gang. This is happening too often. We need, I don't know, congressional, we need investigations into the way teachers have gone, oh, bats, crazy, utterly crazy. If they're not turning our kids into communist activists or changing their gender or that you're using vile death threats to people or, you know, indoctrinating our kids, they're fucking him. I don't know what else to say because the kids aren't reading any better. They're not doing math better. They don't know who Maduro is. They don't know what the word Ayatollah means. So no one's doing their job. If you gave me a choice, chemistry class or you can bang Miss Torrey, bring on Miss Torrey. But you'll never know about chemistry. Who cares? I don't care. You're going to need trigonometry at one point. No, I'm not. but Miss Tart will make me a better lover I want that but it's all because you know the teachers union is so big they got so many politicians under their thumbs you know but what are we going to do people want to defund the police how about we defund some schools that aren't operating and working at all they can't teach anyway but let me tell you something and this is what a lot of people will not say and maybe some of you will get mad at me for saying this but every guy who's listening is going, eh, we're giving each other a wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Because here's the thing. That kid played not one, but two teachers. There was no rape, okay? Trust me. When you're a junior and senior, you're not getting raped. You're an active participant. He's not in fifth grade, sixth grade, popping his first boner, not knowing what to do with it. No, this is a kid who's probably had sex before, runs around with guys, has beer on the weekend, is an athlete. this kid's a legend. His story is going to live on in history. If he has a podcast with the two of his buddies from high school, like me and Kenny and Mike do, they're going to still be talking about it 45 years from now. But here's what it takes for this kind of shit to happen. You need a good looking high school stud. We had a kid in high school, Roddy McLaughlin who had a full chest of hair, a long ponytail, great physique, good looking chin, cleft chin, stubble on his face. I mean, he looked like someone's father or 25 year old brother teachers loved him love to get roddy i don't know where he is these days he was a good athlete fast funny guy good looking dude but didn't throw it in your face he just didn't really know how good looking he was he was a good kid but it takes for this to happen you need a good looking kid a stud you got to mix in two plain looking female teachers some of them are hot these two aren't it's obvious to see these women. I think the older one is married. Maybe they both are. I don't know. These two are in sexless, miserable marriages. It sucks if you're 27, you're not getting any. 47, not getting any, and you're at your sexual peak. Shit's going to happen. Divorce is too costly. It sucks to go through that shit in a small town. And now they're going through this in a small town. So divorce would have been easier. And by the way, clean up your act, Arizona. first the pima sheriff's office completely fucked up the whole nancy guthrie uh kidnapping and now you're all you got all these horned up female teachers betting down high school boys you're acting like minnesota arizona joe leone can you get your people in line you gotta do what i did I pecked around this story over the last seven years I don think I ever laid it out for you but here it is I fell so hard for my Italian teacher, Ms. Maffucci. MS period, Ms. That was during the days when Ms. was very important. Not Ms. She wasn't married. She's Ms. I had her as a junior as my Italian teacher and we had a lot of fun my buddy John Mono and I were in the same class we laughed so hard, him and I and I'd flirt with my teacher openly flirt she'd sometimes wear like a skirt to a knee and when she was at my desk she always stopped at my desk I was the second seat from the front she'd stop at my desk, she'd put her hand on my shoulder or on my head and she'd talk to the class and I would drop my pen and make me of them looking up her skirt and she'd get all red and laugh. She had a great smile. Just a real pretty, pretty, she was beautiful, Miss Mufuchi. And we'd flirt, you know, and I look forward to seeing her as soon as I walk up in the morning, no bullshit. And when I walked into a classroom, she and I would smile so wide and kind of giggle. It really was exactly like what it's like when you find someone in school that you like. It was that way. But there was that energy that we can't do anything about this. If it was a girl, I'd ask her out. It's Miss Maffucci. So I start my senior year and I'm taking Italian again. It turns out that I'm taking Italian with a different teacher. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. I did Italian again or second year just so I could be with Maffucci. I'm not going to whoever was. Gugliata, Miss Gugliata, give me Maffucci. So I go to my guidance counselor. I tell him, he goes, I've got to change your whole schedule. I said, I don't care what you do. I don't care if I have three gym classes This and that Because I had the credits The last year of high school It was like take trigonometry over Take Italian And there really wasn't much else to do I was in gym three periods a day Playing European handball I loved that game So he fixes my shit up Two weeks into the school year I don't knock I walk right into Maffucci's room She looks at me like What the heck is going on? And what are you doing here? I said there was a mistake on my class list. And then I looked at some junior who was sitting in my seat. That's my seat. I sit there. You go in the back. And she moved the kid and sat me up front again so we could have it like we had the year before. So there was this one day and everything was going great. Smiling, laughing, giggling. One day she was in a bit of a shitty mood. It happens. And I was too, for some reason. So I was talking in class or something and she playfully threw an eraser at me while she wasn't looking, just talking. She made, she did a no look just to be like, shut up, AJ. I'm talking. And I, for some reason I picked it up and I threw it back at her and it hit her in the shoulder and there was all chalk dust on her shoulder. It was stupid of me to do that. I don't think I even wanted to hit her. I just want to throw it back and it hit and her eyes filled up with like, she filled up. It, she didn't like that. So I stay after class to apologize. And I'm 17, going to be 18 in June. She was 26. Not that much of a difference, right? So one day she's in class and we used to bust the balls and she ends up saying she's seeing someone. She's got a new boyfriend. The girls were so happy that we hear about them. It wasn't back then. No one had phones to show you pictures of the guy or the girl. It was just all the girls loved it. All the guys were pissed off. The guy was a 43-year-old businessman. She's 26. All right? So, you know, and she came from a wealthy family. Her family owned Mafuchi Trucking. They were a big trucking outfit all over Long Island and New York City, Staten Island. Mafuchi Trucking was big. So the girls were thrilled for her. Me and the guys began to break her balls, right? Because we all wanted her. And I remember I said to her, what are you doing? You know the age difference? You think it's fine now, but when you're 43, I mean, when you're 70, he's going to be 87. When you're 80, he'll be dead. You know, just doing stupid things that 17-year-old kids would say. And she's smiling and laughing. It didn't really bother me. I didn't care. I'm like, I don't give a shit. I'm still like, I just don't flirt with her. So one night was parent-teacher night. My father was working. I didn't go. My mother went. My mother comes back, and she says, my God, what have you done to your Italian teacher? I said, why? She goes, she talks about you and smiles and laughs. she told me she's crazy about you she's gonna miss you so much she thinks that you look just you act like her brother but she boy oh boy is she like you that kind of shit you better be behaving in there i said i am well it's all good that's all i needed to hear i knew i just knew i'd end up seeing her after graduation and maybe in college maybe i didn't i just knew that i'm not though and Mr. Fucci. You know, in the years past, and it seemed like it wasn't going to happen at some point. But then one day, I was married for five years. And one day, I was divorced. Now it's 1991. It's been 11 years since I last saw Mr. Fucci. And my buddy calls my buddy, Tony Girardo calls me and says, just bought a house in Gardner City, very nice neighborhood in Nassau County. He says, you're not going to believe who lives next door to me. Mr. Fucci. No shit. Yeah. first thing she did is ask about you anyhow she gave me her number she said to call her oh shit now i just came out of a marriage so i really wasn't active in dating yet and i hadn't dated i was with jennifer six years before we were married for five years so i was completely out of practice but you know i'm a man i'm a guy i could figure something out so i was nervous but now i'm 29 and she's what 37 what's the problem with that a little quick calculation in my head. So this means her boyfriend would be 54 or so. And back then, to me, 54 was ancient. Like when Cara was dating Trump, he was in his 50s. And I'd say, what do you want with this fucking old man? I mean, I'm going to be 64. It's all relative, depending upon where you sit. So I called her. We laughed a lot. We went, met for coffee. We caught up. We flirted. She had since gotten married to that same guy. Well, we were grownups now, and it didn't shatter me. We talked about my divorce, her wedding. But I did say to her, well, now I can call you Marie. I don't have to say Miss Maffucci anymore. She goes, you better call me Marie. So she was Marie. And we had a nice day. And then we went back to her house, showed me the house, which felt kind of weird. Part of me thought, do I make a move here? No, she's married. This is like, you know. So that wasn't going to happen. But we did kiss, hug, and some petting, as it was called back then, in my car, not inside the home. It was before we got in the home. But it was a sweet moment, very sweet moment. It was only a few years later that Van Halen comes out with Hot for Teacher. Maybe they came out with it already. I forget. But I didn't really understand that I'd been involved with that sort of thing. And then you see that video of how much they're into the teacher. I'm like, oh, God, that was my junior and senior year. Two years of flirting and touching, which I never regretted or felt like she was taking advantage of me because of my age. And then four years of college, a five-year marriage, a divorce before I was able to see her again. And the same feelings were there. It's like a cup of coffee. There's a very famous song by the great Jimmy Roselli in Italian. He sings a song called A Tazza Cafe, which means a cup of coffee. And he's telling you, as my aunt would translate for me, very dramatically, she would say. He's saying, a woman is like a cup of coffee. You can't just take her in your hand and drink her. You've got to stir the sugar to the top, and then you drink her. Then she tastes the best. You know, she was so dramatic. But that's what it was, you know? Same feelings were there. Just had to stir them up again with some sugar. And I don't for one second, nor have I ever felt, any type of embarrassment or despondency or some suspicion that I was targeted by an older female teacher. Fuck no. I was the aggressor, and I was lucky enough to have a beautiful teacher who played along. And I only hope my son to have that same memory one day, and with the way so many female teachers are hiking up their skirts nowadays, maybe it's already happened for all I know. Maybe he'll have a Miss Maffucci of his own, and it'll take him over a decade to tie a bow around him. But if he's my son, he'll do it. I'm AJ Benson. That was your daily unfiltered podcast.
