I'm living in the communist utopia that is the United Kingdom and so I obviously have no say in the election, but I'm still praying that Trump wins. What happens in the US echoes and reverberates across the world though so he really is what's best for all of us.
I genuinely think he will be the one to steer the world in a much better direction.
I also really enjoyed this video and think it would be cool to see you on camera a lot more.
Thanks for giving us your views from the place that the state of the world hinges on, Big Philly.
PTSD? You mean FFS, I outta get combat pay for looking at your gawdawful fat-ass grille while you babble on like a water fountain with a broken shut off as you suck on that tobacco phallus! That was goddamed brutal, dude. So, when's your next one? I friggin hate myself and need more punishment.
Big Philly, that was F’n Awesome bro. I’ve never said this before but to me, you are a man’s man I’ve never seen anyone Molest a cigar that way for 20 minutes without flicking the ashes. 100% enjoyable all the way through. I have more to say, but when you have an attention disorder. you have to go back and listen again. you also mentioned that Matthew writes and you write and Matthew edits and you edit so when the writer gets a beating, he’s beating you, or you are beating him.
Hey, Philly... Enjoyed your talk. I'm from Southwest Philly. Everybody there bailed into the Delco suburbs when the neighborhoods became integrated.. Actually, in my neighborhood--long after I'd already rolled west--there was a big influx of Vietnamese boat people. They snapped up those little three-bedroom houses and settled in. Then the wars started. Whites against blacks, Blacks against whites, Whites and Blacks against the Vietnamese. I wasn't there for that. Actually, after a couple years, the only white folks you could find in that neighborhood were very elderly or the dopers/drunks, who were too benumbed to see how dangerous their hood had become
Sorry to digress. But, we do come from the same environs. I have a couple of friends still in the suburbs of Philly, one in Springfield (delco) and one up in Society Hill area. These guys are in their mid-70s, and still either cannot see how fucked up Philly has become (certain areas of Philly), or they are in denial. Same thing I guess. These guys will vote democrat no matter what. I don't understand it, but I can't bring myself to write them off. We simply don't talk about the divide.
On November 5th, Pennsylvania will, or has the chance to, actually live up to its name, the Keystone State, the linchpin. And I find myself biting my nails over this coming election day. I wonder... What will we be thinking about, fretting about on November 6th, the day after?
Gotta pray about that. We are, as the Chinese curse goes, 'living in interesting times.'
I’m from Bronx/Florida and used to work the docks at Packer ave where across the street was a genuine whore house. Anyway I was surprised that you look and talk exactly as I imagined. I am a Trump supporter and am ashamed to admit I smoke Macanudo Portofinos
LOL Packer Ave near the stadiums. Yeah, man, I’m not playing a character. I’m really a fat, bearded, sweatpants wearing, cigar smoking Philly boy speaking my mind.
It’s not what, it’s where. There is a top tier of elite places based on region of the city. Each region has its own best spot. That said, every neighborhood pizza joint, including in the burbs, has a sort of everyday workable steak sandwich; not incredible, but good enough to get the job done.

Cheers 👍🏼
Thank you, brother. It’s easier for me to ramble than write. Also, my other half is English/Irish, so happy to hear praise from my other old country.

I would do these daily but you have no idea how labor-intensive my pre-shoot makeup routine is.
I can’t imagine. But if you should happen to do another shoot, get yourself a banjo and give us some of this. Improvise.

You know I was just messing with you, right? But yeah, it would be a lot of work. Thank you for the great rant.
Oh yeah, I wasn’t triggered or anything. Would love to do more of these.
Good stuff, Big Philly. I'm from Central Jersey and just discovered your little podcast. Very good!
Thanks Bob. More to come both in audio from us and here in print. Stay tuned.
Good stuff.. covered the waterfront
On your ending note @ 24:35 on qualification for PTSD disability check..
Have always thought PTSD was a con ..
Survivor Guilt is the thing. Uncomfortable to talk about, much less admit..
..while PTSD generates endless hours/months/decades of counseling and pharmaceutical sales.
I’d agree with that. In fact, most mental illnesses probably fit that category.
Big Philly, thanks for phillying us in on the origin of GH and the team! Btw, truly awesome shit and hilarious! My sick humor being satisfied!
Half Italian origin myself with a white Swede descent mom from Alabama no less!
Now Joe from Floridas’s redneck Riviera
Solid white mutts. Good to be a Euro cocktail. Thanks for watching, my friend.

EXCELENT!
Thanks, Buddy. This means a lot to me. I’ve been smoking cigars since 2011 so it’s second nature to me.
Big Phil !!!
I hope I got the numbers right in the video when I said you publish 50-100 novels a week.
Pretty fucking close brother LOL

Best!
Yeah, Paul, we’re basically from the same background. I’m afraid of November 6th. We’ll see.

And hey, smoke what you like to smoke. It’s all killing us anyway.

Help me out here. If I ever make it to Philly and I want the best cheesesteak, what do I order?

Thanks Big Philly!!!! LOVE IT!!

Ah, you are the cow slaughter dude I was referring to, I guess. Thanks, Kevin.
