00:01:23
Scott or to those who partied hard
00:01:26
dabbled in drugs and were into some
00:01:28
crazy stuff up in San Fran in the '90s
00:01:30
you may know him as pippy and Bill a
00:01:35
dude who started a fight club in his
00:01:37
church we now go to a story that took
00:01:40
place in the city by the Bay San
00:01:43
Francisco and a guy living the High Life
00:01:45
as a well-known coke dealer meet Scott
00:01:49
also known as
00:01:51
pippy hi my name is Scott AKA pippy love
00:01:54
stocking and I was a drug dealer in San
00:01:57
Francisco in the '90s I grew up in in a
00:02:00
small religious conservative town in
00:02:02
North Carolina and I was uh pretty
00:02:06
obviously gay no surprise and I got a
00:02:10
lot of harassment for that uh so much so
00:02:13
that I wanted to get the hell out of
00:02:15
there as soon as possible and so I just
00:02:17
got on the first Greyhound bus and made
00:02:20
my way across country to wild and crazy
00:02:24
San Francisco and the rest is history
00:02:28
baby
00:02:30
well San Francisco in the gay 90s was a
00:02:33
wild and crazy party scene uh I think
00:02:36
there was a lot of um people like myself
00:02:39
who had come there to live their dream
00:02:41
and and be free to do what they want to
00:02:43
do and have their best life and have a
00:02:46
good time doing it so I was definitely
00:02:49
uh partaking in all of that and I just
00:02:52
uh Dove right into the club scene and
00:02:55
the party scene to be on L so I ended up
00:02:58
getting a job at at a bar that turned
00:03:01
out to be kind of my my headquarters for
00:03:04
all my illicit activity I started
00:03:07
bartending at this at this club and I
00:03:09
was the cocktail waiter we would do a
00:03:11
drag show it was always a crowd pleaser
00:03:14
you get a high from being in drag it's
00:03:17
like becoming a different character then
00:03:20
I started singing live we got a
00:03:21
microphone and a karaoke machine but
00:03:23
always uh very boozy and uh lots of coke
00:03:27
to help me keep drinking so Queens today
00:03:30
are like apple pie and hot dogs but back
00:03:33
in the uh the in my day we were kind of
00:03:36
Outsiders and Fringe people and uh I
00:03:39
liked it like that it was fun being kind
00:03:41
of on the outside I think a lot of
00:03:43
people especially gay people myself
00:03:45
included adopted the attitude of like
00:03:46
let's live fast Die Young let's party
00:03:49
let's enjoy ourselves all bets were off
00:03:52
and it was like a kid in the candy store
00:03:54
kind of
00:03:56
scenario we had a lot of transsexual
00:03:58
prostitutes that frequented our bar as
00:04:01
well as the Bale Hustlers they always
00:04:03
just kind of drifted through because we
00:04:06
had cocaine there we we were known for
00:04:08
our cocaine it came from miles around
00:04:11
and I specifically um had always had
00:04:14
plenty of it on me but I always had like
00:04:16
a big kind of a patent leather purse it
00:04:18
was uh you bigger than a lunch pale and
00:04:21
so I had these kind of hidden
00:04:22
compartments I just pack full of uh my
00:04:26
party favors and uh people knew that I
00:04:29
was holding and they could just come and
00:04:30
look for pippy at the bar and I would
00:04:32
hook you up well I was uh very Reckless
00:04:36
and generous with my friends and uh so
00:04:40
when you have a lot of money you spend a
00:04:41
lot of money at least that was my
00:04:43
attitude in those days because I was
00:04:45
living like there's no
00:04:48
tomorrow on average I could s about 100
00:04:51
quars of coke and my take was $1,000 a
00:04:54
night well of course I had to be careful
00:04:56
and size up my customers that uh you
00:04:58
know if very rarely uh would I encounter
00:05:02
people who gave me a a red flag or
00:05:04
anything like that and you know and then
00:05:05
there are some people who I just don't
00:05:07
want to deal with who it seem suspicious
00:05:09
just like nope you don't belong here
00:05:11
wrong bar so keep walking well it wasn't
00:05:15
a a weird environment and I mean I guess
00:05:17
there were risky things around me a lot
00:05:21
we did have cops come around fairly
00:05:23
frequently um frankly at that time I
00:05:27
don't think the police were very much
00:05:29
concerned especially I think they were
00:05:31
particularly in the gay World they
00:05:33
probably just s like you know don't ask
00:05:35
don't tell let's not bother these people
00:05:38
one night I went I had a full bin of
00:05:40
bottles and I went to put them in the
00:05:43
dumpster and when I got out there there
00:05:45
was this guy who was leaned up against
00:05:47
the dumpster and the rain was falling
00:05:49
right on his face you know anybody whose
00:05:52
conscience would would respond to that
00:05:54
so I shook him I called I said hey
00:05:57
what's up are you okay do you need you
00:05:58
need an you need help no response
00:06:01
whatsoever I like I think this guy's
00:06:03
dead just another Saturday night and I
00:06:06
developed kind of uh Street smarts right
00:06:09
away I was uh glad to be free to put on
00:06:13
my drag make the world my Runway the the
00:06:16
'90s was a wonderful time we didn't have
00:06:18
social media to make us feel depressed
00:06:20
about how much we're not we don't have
00:06:22
we're not a gashi and how can we be
00:06:24
happy but uh there were some close calls
00:06:27
there were some times when I was kind of
00:06:29
you know sweating it out and I know a
00:06:31
lot of people had drugs in their
00:06:34
possession besides being drunk so I'm
00:06:36
sure I wasn't the old one who was
00:06:38
thinking what's going to happen here
00:06:40
well one particular one moment jumps out
00:06:42
to my memory a very good-looking young
00:06:45
man came in uh you know I'm a sucker for
00:06:47
a pretty face and I still am today he
00:06:49
wanted to score some drugs and um I had
00:06:53
just come off stage I was doing my uh
00:06:55
Whitney Houston
00:06:57
number Greatest Love of All
00:07:01
and I decided to uh help him out I knew
00:07:04
uh the risks but uh still and I said
00:07:08
sure I I'll I've got some stuff upstairs
00:07:11
let me go get like a little care package
00:07:14
for you as I went up past the pool
00:07:17
tables to the office a friend of mine
00:07:19
stopped me at the pool table and said
00:07:21
hey that guy he's the undercover
00:07:25
cop don't do anything with him don't
00:07:27
sell him anything he's an arc
00:07:30
my purse was full of drugs water cash
00:07:32
thinking what's going to happen here and
00:07:35
I said oh really I was I on my way to
00:07:38
get get him some coke and uh so I went
00:07:42
in the office and I locked the door and
00:07:44
I thought well you know that we had a
00:07:47
little peepole I could see who's down in
00:07:48
the bar from up there and uh I just I
00:07:51
hung out there I was like uh-uh I'm not
00:07:54

00:07:56
to get out of this
00:07:58
situation
00:08:01
listen you got to admit I mean it really
00:08:03
doesn't look too good for Scott here
00:08:05
it's actually uh pretty ugly but while
00:08:07
most people caught in a drug deal with
00:08:09
an undercover cop would wig out he kept
00:08:12
his cool guys and pulled off the
00:08:14
ultimate Snow Job how did Scott end up
00:08:18
getting away Scott free or shall I say
00:08:21
hippy free answer next on statute of
00:08:28

00:08:31
limitations where Scott a drag queen and
00:08:34
a coke dealer is behind the apall he's
00:08:37
on the verge of being busted for dealing
00:08:39
drugs to an undercover cop damn man that
00:08:43
is a situation but he's just managing to
00:08:47
skirt the law take a look a very
00:08:51
goodlooking young man came in uh he
00:08:54
wanted to score some drugs and I said
00:08:56
sure I I'll I've got some stuff upstairs
00:08:58
let me go a friend of mine stopped me at
00:09:01
the pool table and said hey that guy
00:09:03
he's an undercover
00:09:06
cop and uh so I went in the office and I
00:09:08
locked the door I was like uh-uh I'm not
00:09:11
not today trying to think how am I going
00:09:13
to get out of this situation and that's
00:09:15
when things got a little bit weird or
00:09:20
complicated and I took my wig off and uh
00:09:23
wipe my face down with some baby
00:09:27
wies so I
00:09:29
slipped out of the office and I went to
00:09:32
our filthy
00:09:34
bathroom and I was like I got to get out
00:09:36
of here and so I crawled out of the
00:09:39
window that was above the third stall
00:09:41
and pigeons had been nesting there and
00:09:43
it was gross and filthy and there was
00:09:45
like some chicken wire there that I had
00:09:47
to peel that back I just got out of drag
00:09:49
so I still had that kind of post drag
00:09:52
smey makeup face which fits in perfectly
00:09:55
in the enderle and actually we have lots
00:09:57
of hobos and miss crant hanging out on
00:10:00
the street then I'm I'm squatting there
00:10:02
by the dumpster and I see the cop come
00:10:05
busting out looking around like where
00:10:07
the hell is that Queen and uh I'm just
00:10:10
like what I did there's new drag what he
00:10:16
looked right down where I was uh but
00:10:19
didn't even notice to me cuz but you
00:10:21
know I looked a lot different without my
00:10:22
wig and makeup on and I was just wearing
00:10:25
a a cruddy T-shirt and jeans he uh
00:10:28
didn't even stopped cuz just I probably
00:10:30
looked too filthy and had too much
00:10:31
pigeon droppings on me or whatever and
00:10:33
he just like B in the other direction I
00:10:36
think he had another call to go to cuz
00:10:38
he walked right past me and didn't even
00:10:40
notice
00:10:42
me well I have a tremendous feeling of
00:10:45
gratitude that I'm alive to tell the
00:10:47
tale and I'm glad that I stopped when I
00:10:49
did that I quit while I was ahead and
00:10:52
then I never got arrested or gotten in
00:10:54
any serious trouble cuz you know uh
00:10:57
drugs can really uh take people in
00:10:59
terrible directions I'm sober now I

00:11:04
like to have fun and dress up in drag as
00:11:06

00:11:09

00:11:24
story do drag not

00:11:30
dirty alley next to a dumpster and
00:11:33
walked away clean and he was able to
00:11:36
avoid the law long enough to survive the
00:11:40
statute of
00:11:42
limitations damn my inner criminal
00:11:46
smiling sorry
00:11:48
publicist now it's time for a story of a
00:11:51
guy who doesn't fight the law he let his
00:11:53
fist fly with an underground Fight Club
00:11:56
on Holy Ground d okay he could have been
00:12:00
locked up for 5 years in Pennsylvania
00:12:02
but he bobbed and he weaved long enough
00:12:05
to beat the rap get a load of that it's
00:12:08
time for the confession we all know I
00:12:10
love confessionals let's hear his sinful
00:12:12
story meet Bill I'm roing for Bill come
00:12:16
on
00:12:17
[Applause]
00:12:18
[Music]
00:12:22
Bill my name is Bill I'm from Philly and
00:12:25
my crime is I started an underground
00:12:27
Fight Club in a church
00:12:30
it was in 2010 uh I was going through
00:12:32
some stuff you know sometimes I would
00:12:34
get mad at my co-workers like other
00:12:36
drivers I started taking anger
00:12:38
management classes so the classes were
00:12:40
held in a h in a recck room at a church
00:12:43
and it was kind of like where they would
00:12:44
have AA meetings it would had like a old
00:12:45
paint on the walls like crappy kids
00:12:47
drawings just really just depressing
00:12:50
just a bunch of clowns talking about
00:12:52
their feelings and crying about this and
00:12:54
that so there was one guy in the meeting
00:12:57
who was actually tolerable me and him
00:12:59
kind of you know became buddies and uh
00:13:01
he was kind of in the same boat as
00:13:03
me he did like MMA and uh he invited me
00:13:06
to go with him and check it out the MMA
00:13:10
classes were great I mean uh I stopped
00:13:12
doing like self-destructive things I was
00:13:14
putting my time exerting my energy into
00:13:16
you know bettering myself learning how
00:13:18
to fight and uh it was like a release
00:13:20
like I felt myself like less angry I
00:13:22
just had a little more restraint and
00:13:24
discipline to me and I was really proud
00:13:26
of the person I was
00:13:27
becoming so at the time I was living
00:13:30
without a car so I was taking the bus
00:13:31
everywhere it was two buses to get there
00:13:33
two buses to come home and you know you
00:13:35
missed the bus it was like an hour
00:13:36
weight or like sometimes even longer and
00:13:39
uh you know eventually I started missing
00:13:41
classes you know one class here two
00:13:42
classes there one week I missed the
00:13:44
whole entire week and uh and it started
00:13:46
affecting me I was kind of resorting to
00:13:48
my old ways you know acting like an
00:13:50
[ __ ] acting crazy I didn't have the
00:13:53
discipline I started sh up to the anger
00:13:55
management classes like a little earlier
00:13:57
than everyone else and staying later
00:13:59
and like you know help him with the
00:14:00
coffee helping get the place set up and
00:14:02
uh the guy I was friends with in class I
00:14:05
brought him the idea I'm like yo we
00:14:06
should we should start a fight
00:14:09
club I was serious I wanted to start a
00:14:11
fight club you know like controlled you
00:14:13
know like no one's going to die or get
00:14:14
really fed up him and I were looking to
00:14:17
you know maybe turn up the heat a little
00:14:20
bit I'm just think like where can I do
00:14:22
this at where can I do this at and then
00:14:24
you know I'm sitting in anger management
00:14:25
class I'm like we could probably do it
00:14:27
right here you know I noticed in the
00:14:29
meetings that like they didn't really
00:14:31
lock the place up like you know it was
00:14:32
an old church so like it had those old
00:14:35
windows so you know there's a way we can
00:14:38
get in here we could prop the window
00:14:39
open you know uh get in get out clean up
00:14:43
so I saw an opportunity and you know
00:14:45
with the church right there I said it so
00:14:46
I took it why not no one's going to
00:14:50
know we started recruiting people from
00:14:53
the gym you know you'd have people from
00:14:55
all walks of life come in you'd have uh
00:14:58
bartenders or people that you know
00:15:00
worked in offices or or whatever a
00:15:03
couple of the guys really didn't know
00:15:04
what they were getting themselves into
00:15:06
they thought it was just like like a boy
00:15:07
scouts club kind of thing and it was
00:15:09
definitely not that no we're going to
00:15:11
punch each other with fists like
00:15:13
men at first there was just like four of
00:15:15
us we started off with and then like you
00:15:17
know they told their friends and then
00:15:19
their friends told their friends and
00:15:20
then next thing you know there's a dozen
00:15:21
of us bare fist fighting in the basement
00:15:23
of a church come on let's get it come on
00:15:27
that's what I'm talking about and it is
00:15:29
such a good feeling to just like punch
00:15:31
somebody in the face and and know you're
00:15:32
not going to go to jail and there's no
00:15:34
repercussions and that person might
00:15:36
punch you in the face
00:15:39
too I mean it's just it's fair
00:15:43
game so when you're fighting you usually
00:15:46
know a few minutes before and what we
00:15:47
would do is he would size you up with
00:15:49
somebody who's around the same size as
00:15:50
you we had to be a little discreet about
00:15:52
this so we would put sheets and towels
00:15:54
in the windows so you couldn't look in
00:15:56
some guys were mouthpieces some guys
00:15:58
wrapped the hands you know definitely no
00:15:59
shoes though you know and it's just on
00:16:02
from there and you go until you tap out
00:16:04
or until you get knocked out one of my
00:16:06
more memorable fights I got matched up
00:16:08
with a guy who was more of my size you
00:16:10
know he was really into it like he took
00:16:12
his shirt off he had his hands up he was
00:16:14
like dancing around me like he was crazy
00:16:16
like I thought I was going to
00:16:19
die like I just was like I'm so
00:16:22
mismatched right now like this this
00:16:23
dude's a pro we get into it um luckily I
00:16:27
got the upper hand on him and just like
00:16:29
laying into him just like laying into
00:16:30
him laying into him laying into him and
00:16:32
uh I just kind of like blacked out for a
00:16:35
minute and just kind of just like forgot
00:16:36
where I was and like didn't realize what
00:16:38
I was doing and like I don't know it
00:16:40
felt like 2 minutes but like in reality
00:16:42
it was probably like 2 seconds and uh
00:16:44
you know they stopped the fight and I
00:16:46
like see what I'm doing I'm like oh sh
00:16:48
like I'm really hurting this
00:16:50
guy he was all right we laughed about it
00:16:53
afterwards sometimes we would go out to
00:16:55
the bar after one guy would be cut off
00:16:57
one guy would have a black guy you know
00:16:59
one time the guy didn't have a shoe on
00:17:01
you know these people were just looking
00:17:02
at us in the bar like like what the is
00:17:04
wrong with these guys you know we knew
00:17:06
and that's that's all that mattered in
00:17:08
that moment we were like brothers you
00:17:11
know one time there was this guy he he
00:17:13
showed up and like a like a suit and
00:17:15
like I honestly thought he was a like a
00:17:17
detective like scoping out the place
00:17:20
like I thought we were all going to jail
00:17:21
that night he was there to fight and
00:17:23
like literally like took his suit off
00:17:24
took his tie off and just kicked the out
00:17:27
of some guy I thought the guy was a nerd
00:17:29
I definitely did not see that coming at
00:17:32
all having the fight club really you
00:17:34
know opened me up and and helped me out
00:17:36
in ways like I I was feeling so good
00:17:38
about myself I I was feeling good about
00:17:40
my Outlook I felt like I was doing a
00:17:41
service in a in a sick and twisted kind
00:17:44
of way but uh you know I really just
00:17:46
started feeling like a sense of Pride I
00:17:48
might have been breaking the law here
00:17:49
and there but like uh I just said it you
00:17:52
know I was just I don't care was making
00:17:54
me a better
00:17:56
person you know when the night was done
00:17:58
we would put everything back where it
00:18:01
was sweep the floors you know we had to
00:18:03
mop up some blood here and there make
00:18:05
sure there was nobody left behind make
00:18:06
sure there was no personal items left uh
00:18:09
I found a guy's tooth on the floor one
00:18:11
time uh yeah messy
00:18:15
job so one night you know we're in the
00:18:17
basement we're finished fighting we're
00:18:18
cleaning up and we hear like this like
00:18:20
noise and you know everybody that's
00:18:22
supposed to be here is you know in this
00:18:24
room so we go investigate and there's
00:18:27
like two drug cutting the copper wire
00:18:30
pipe like out of the wall in the boiler
00:18:33
room and it was it was literally the
00:18:35
craziest like I literally walked in on
00:18:37
that and was just like my mind was blown
00:18:40
we can't really call the cops cuz we're
00:18:41
doing illegal too so I'm like literally
00:18:44
face to face at one of them and I'm like
00:18:46
look you got to fight me if you're going
00:18:47
to
00:18:49
leave he better have an Iron Fist and
00:18:52
balls of steel cuz what bill doesn't
00:18:54
know is the cops got the drop on him and
00:18:57
they're or already on their way so
00:19:00
what's Bill going to do squaring off
00:19:02
against a couple of burglars and the
00:19:04
boys in blue round two coming up on
00:19:07
statute of limitations
00:19:11
next welcome back to statute of
00:19:14
limitations our boy Bill started a fight
00:19:17
club in his church but thanks to some
00:19:20
copper and some coppers seems like he
00:19:23
might have met his match let's see how
00:19:26
he Ducks his way out of this
00:19:29
check this
00:19:32
out so we go investigate and there's two
00:19:35
drug addicts cutting the copper wire and
00:19:38
pipe like out of theing wall in the
00:19:40
boiler room and we can't really call the
00:19:42
cops cuz we're doing illegal too so I'm
00:19:44
like literally face to face at one of
00:19:46
them and I'm like look you have to fight
00:19:47
me if you're going to leave you got
00:19:49
these two dudes in here who broke into
00:19:51
the wrong Church you got 12 sweaty dudes
00:19:53
in here who love to fight I I'm not even
00:19:55
religious like that but you're stealing
00:19:57
from a church like that's kind ofed up
00:19:59
you know and it just it just didn't sit
00:20:01
well with me at all so like I start
00:20:02
screaming and yelling and start going
00:20:04
after them a couple of the other guys
00:20:06
they just you know helped me out I mean
00:20:08
it was a bad day for them next thing you
00:20:10
know we got these guys duct taped we on
00:20:12
the ground we're trying to think what
00:20:13

00:20:15
like I'm running an underground Fight
00:20:18

00:20:20
two dudes duct tapes like hog tide on
00:20:23
the ground and it's just like what the
00:20:25
is going on this this is the furthest
00:20:27
thing from what I had set out for this
00:20:29
to
00:20:30

00:20:32
in her bathroom like on her porch you
00:20:35

00:20:38
we just got out of there man and left
00:20:40

00:20:42
there I like to wonder what they told
00:20:44
the cops when they got
00:20:46
there that night I'll I'll never forget
00:20:49
that night that was probably one of the
00:20:51
best worst and wildest nights of my life
00:20:54
hands down a lot of those dudes I never
00:20:57
saw again
00:20:58

00:21:02
helped some of those guys they helped me
