Penthouse

Some guy thought that I really thought that like ECW was like a progressive company.

My favorite Joey Stiles line from all of the stuff that I watched was like, someone introduces Beulah as being, quote, from the pages of Penthouse magazine.

And Joey Stiles goes, I don't know about that.

I'm more of a national review reader.

Danny Minogue? Oh, poor Dan.

Like when she did Penthouse Magazine or whatever it was, one was markedly larger than the other.

She said, I want it to look natural.

That's how they normally look.

how they normally

look.

But I thought maybe she'd gotten one done and then did Penthouse Magazine to paint the other

one.

Dude, I remember being in the 8th

grade and reading about those pheromone colognes in the back of Penthouse Magazine.

Yeah, dog? And being like, holy shit, there's just a thing I can spray on? You can just spray it on? Oh my god! And they'll just like me? Let's

They both had this performative populism, you know, where like talking about the working man while Cohn is, you know, riding around in his Rolls Royce or in his luxury yacht, which is called the Defiance, which is such a perfect name for Roy Cohn's yacht.

There's one moment in the book where, where Roy Cohn is, I think he was interviewed for like Penthouse magazine or something.

He said, quote, I decided long ago to make my own rules, to act according to my own choices, my own judgments, my own conscience, right? And This immediately reminded me of Trump's interview earlier this year with New York Times reporters.

He asked about constraints on his own power and he says, it's only my own morality, my own mind, it's the only thing that can stop me, right? And that, You know, to me, that was such a clear echo of Cohn talking about how really, you know, the rules don't matter.

And he's filling it up and I'm looking and there's all blue jeans in there, brand new.

And then comes the Penthouse magazine.

I said, Tommy, what are you doing? You're going to go to the gulag.

He says, no, no, they would never check my luggage because I'm an invited guest.
