Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey there, gang. I'm talking to Mallory Millett, who is the sister of the late Kate Millett. We've talked about that on previous programs. I think YouTube scrubbed those because it's very divisive stuff. We don't want that, you know, where the kids can watch it. You're a menace. You're a menace. I know. I'm the most dangerous man in America. I want to talk to you about Bradley Cooper, that there's a more current name.

Tony Bennett. You did know Tony Bennett. Now, Tony Bennett is, of course, still with us. He's doing

like a gig with Lady Gaga in Radio City, I think, this month or sometime soon.

I knew Tony. I know Tony very well. You know them? We really love each other.

Can you get me a seat at Radio City? No. Can you get me backstage to me, Tony? Look, I'm not going to tell the world that he's been wearing a toupee since the 60s, okay? I can keep a secret. So how do you know tone? How do you know Tony? Well, again, this is through Minda. Minda had...

What am I talking to you for? Where's Minda?

Minda Minda had what am I talking to you for

where's Minda Minda was Minda was in a romance with Tony Bennett that lasted four years also she was

with Michael Cain for four years you make her sound like uh I don't know like a certain kind of person. And then she was with Michael Cain for four years.

All right. Four years. Well, she's just somebody who runs around in that crowd. She's been in

nothing but that. Oh, it's obvious that she runs around. But let me ask you, what, how did you know Tony Bennett?

And what kind of a, he seems like a nice man. Oh, Tony is an angel tony is absolutely an angel you would so approve of

tony he is a wonderful even i yes you would approve of tony tony is a truly good man he's an

absolute angel from god he truly is thomas and i love tony. He's so wonderful. So you still know him.

Yeah. I mean, we don't really see him, but if I ever do, sometimes we run into each other places.

Right. And he is so warm and loving and wonderful to us. You can see that he's got deep affection for us.

Well, it's kind of an amazing thing that he's still in his 90s can sing very well.

It's an astonishing thing to hear him sing because you think there's it because most people, I mean, you know, folks like Yilton John, they don't have the voice they did a few decades ago or they haven't maintained it or whatever.

But he clearly can sing extremely beautifully. Well, when we met him, when we first met him, his career was in the toilet. His career was absolutely in the ditch. This must have been like the 80s. He had no career. When was that, honey? That was the 80s, right? Yeah. Well, he had a huge resurgence, obviously. resurgence yes well that was because he got his son to manage him and we were we were with him in the middle of all of that he couldn't get arrested he couldn't work he was very desperately upset about it

and i would say tony you know come on you're tony bennett what out whatever you know so what if you're not working right now and he'd say, Mallory, I have a $10,000 a month nut I've got to come up with. And this is in the 80s, which is like saying $25,000 an hour or something. He's saying every month, I have people to pay. I have musicians. I can't lose my crew and all the people who work for me.

Maybe I could get his son to manage my career. What's his son doing?
