00:00:48

00:01:04
statute of limitations what's up everybody I'm Mike situation Santino and there's a saying
00:01:17
in prison snitches get stitches but not here and on this episode you will meet Scott or to those who partied hard
00:01:26
dabbled in drugs and were into some crazy stuff up in San Fran in the '90s you may know him as pippy and Bill a
00:01:35
dude who started a fight club in his church we now go to a story that took place in the city by the Bay San
00:01:43
Francisco and a guy living the High Life as a well-known coke dealer meet Scott also known as
00:01:51
pippy hi my name is Scott AKA pippy love stocking and I was a drug dealer in San
00:01:57
Francisco in the '90s I grew up in in a small religious conservative town in
00:02:02
North Carolina and I was uh pretty obviously gay no surprise and I got a lot of harassment for that uh so much so
00:02:13
that I wanted to get the hell out of there as soon as possible and so I just got on the first Greyhound bus and made
00:02:20
my way across country to wild and crazy San Francisco and the rest is history baby
00:02:30
well San Francisco in the gay 90s was a wild and crazy party scene uh I think there was a lot of um people like myself
00:02:39
who had come there to live their dream and and be free to do what they want to do and have their best life and have a
00:02:46
good time doing it so I was definitely uh partaking in all of that and I just uh Dove right into the club scene and
00:02:55
the party scene to be on L so I ended up getting a job at at a bar that turned out to be kind of my my headquarters for
00:03:04
all my illicit activity I started bartending at this at this club and I was the cocktail waiter we would do a
00:03:11
drag show it was always a crowd pleaser you get a high from being in drag it's
00:03:17
like becoming a different character then I started singing live we got a microphone and a karaoke machine but
00:03:23
always uh very boozy and uh lots of coke to help me keep drinking so Queens today
00:03:30
are like apple pie and hot dogs but back in the uh the in my day we were kind of
00:03:36
Outsiders and Fringe people and uh I liked it like that it was fun being kind of on the outside I think a lot of
00:03:43
people especially gay people myself included adopted the attitude of like let's live fast Die Young let's party
00:03:49
let's enjoy ourselves all bets were off and it was like a kid in the candy store
00:03:54
kind of scenario we had a lot of transsexual prostitutes that frequented our bar as
00:04:01
well as the Bale Hustlers they always just kind of drifted through because we had cocaine there we we were known for
00:04:08
our cocaine it came from miles around and I specifically um had always had plenty of it on me but I always had like
00:04:16
a big kind of a patent leather purse it was uh you bigger than a lunch pale and so I had these kind of hidden
00:04:22
compartments I just pack full of uh my party favors and uh people knew that I was holding and they could just come and
00:04:30
look for pippy at the bar and I would hook you up well I was uh very Reckless and generous with my friends and uh so
00:04:40
when you have a lot of money you spend a lot of money at least that was my attitude in those days because I was
00:04:45
living like there's no tomorrow on average I could s about 100 quars of coke and my take was $1,000 a
00:04:54
night well of course I had to be careful and size up my customers that uh you know if very rarely uh would I encounter
00:05:02
people who gave me a a red flag or anything like that and you know and then there are some people who I just don't
00:05:07
want to deal with who it seem suspicious just like nope you don't belong here
00:05:11
wrong bar so keep walking well it wasn't a a weird environment and I mean I guess
00:05:17
there were risky things around me a lot we did have cops come around fairly frequently um frankly at that time I
00:05:27
don't think the police were very much concerned especially I think they were
00:05:31
particularly in the gay World they probably just s like you know don't ask don't tell let's not bother these people
00:05:38
one night I went I had a full bin of bottles and I went to put them in the dumpster and when I got out there there
00:05:45
was this guy who was leaned up against the dumpster and the rain was falling right on his face you know anybody whose
00:05:52
conscience would would respond to that so I shook him I called I said hey what's up are you okay do you need you
00:05:58
need an you need help no response whatsoever I like I think this guy's dead just another Saturday night and I
00:06:06
developed kind of uh Street smarts right away I was uh glad to be free to put on
00:06:13
my drag make the world my Runway the the '90s was a wonderful time we didn't have
00:06:18
social media to make us feel depressed about how much we're not we don't have
00:06:22
we're not a gashi and how can we be happy but uh there were some close calls
00:06:27
there were some times when I was kind of you know sweating it out and I know a lot of people had drugs in their
00:06:34
possession besides being drunk so I'm sure I wasn't the old one who was thinking what's going to happen here
00:06:40
well one particular one moment jumps out to my memory a very good-looking young man came in uh you know I'm a sucker for
00:06:47
a pretty face and I still am today he wanted to score some drugs and um I had just come off stage I was doing my uh
00:06:55
Whitney Houston number Greatest Love of All and I decided to uh help him out I knew
00:07:04
uh the risks but uh still and I said sure I I'll I've got some stuff upstairs
00:07:11
let me go get like a little care package for you as I went up past the pool tables to the office a friend of mine
00:07:19
stopped me at the pool table and said hey that guy he's the undercover cop don't do anything with him don't
00:07:27
sell him anything he's an arc my purse was full of drugs water cash thinking what's going to happen here and
00:07:35
I said oh really I was I on my way to get get him some coke and uh so I went in the office and I locked the door and
00:07:44
I thought well you know that we had a little peepole I could see who's down in
00:07:48
the bar from up there and uh I just I hung out there I was like uh-uh I'm not
00:07:54
not today trying to think how am I going to get out of this situation listen you got to admit I mean it really
00:08:03
doesn't look too good for Scott here it's actually uh pretty ugly but while
00:08:07
most people caught in a drug deal with an undercover cop would wig out he kept his cool guys and pulled off the
00:08:14
ultimate Snow Job how did Scott end up getting away Scott free or shall I say hippy free answer next on statute of
00:08:28
limitations welcome back to statute of limitations where Scott a drag queen and a coke dealer is behind the apall he's
00:08:37
on the verge of being busted for dealing drugs to an undercover cop damn man that
00:08:43
is a situation but he's just managing to skirt the law take a look a very goodlooking young man came in uh he
00:08:54
wanted to score some drugs and I said sure I I'll I've got some stuff upstairs
00:08:58
let me go a friend of mine stopped me at the pool table and said hey that guy he's an undercover
00:09:06
cop and uh so I went in the office and I locked the door I was like uh-uh I'm not
00:09:11
not today trying to think how am I going to get out of this situation and that's
00:09:15
when things got a little bit weird or complicated and I took my wig off and uh wipe my face down with some baby
00:09:27
wies so I slipped out of the office and I went to our filthy bathroom and I was like I got to get out
00:09:36
of here and so I crawled out of the window that was above the third stall and pigeons had been nesting there and
00:09:43
it was gross and filthy and there was like some chicken wire there that I had to peel that back I just got out of drag
00:09:49
so I still had that kind of post drag smey makeup face which fits in perfectly in the enderle and actually we have lots
00:09:57
of hobos and miss crant hanging out on the street then I'm I'm squatting there
00:10:02
by the dumpster and I see the cop come busting out looking around like where the hell is that Queen and uh I'm just
00:10:10
like what I did there's new drag what he looked right down where I was uh but
00:10:19
didn't even notice to me cuz but you know I looked a lot different without my
00:10:22
wig and makeup on and I was just wearing a a cruddy T-shirt and jeans he uh didn't even stopped cuz just I probably
00:10:30
looked too filthy and had too much pigeon droppings on me or whatever and he just like B in the other direction I
00:10:36
think he had another call to go to cuz he walked right past me and didn't even
00:10:40
notice me well I have a tremendous feeling of gratitude that I'm alive to tell the
00:10:47
tale and I'm glad that I stopped when I did that I quit while I was ahead and
00:10:52
then I never got arrested or gotten in any serious trouble cuz you know uh drugs can really uh take people in
00:10:59
terrible directions I'm sober now I don't do drugs or drink anymore I still
00:11:04
like to have fun and dress up in drag as I am doing today there's still a lot of
00:11:09
good things that are happening that I want to be around to witness so it was like 11year run did a lot of party and
00:11:15
sold a lot of drugs and um dodged a lot of bullets and uh you know I I'm here to
00:11:21
I live to tell the tale and that's my story do drag not drugs good for Scott he laid down in a
00:11:30
dirty alley next to a dumpster and walked away clean and he was able to avoid the law long enough to survive the
00:11:40
statute of limitations damn my inner criminal smiling sorry publicist now it's time for a story of a
00:11:51
guy who doesn't fight the law he let his fist fly with an underground Fight Club
00:11:56
on Holy Ground d okay he could have been locked up for 5 years in Pennsylvania but he bobbed and he weaved long enough
00:12:05
to beat the rap get a load of that it's time for the confession we all know I
00:12:10
love confessionals let's hear his sinful story meet Bill I'm roing for Bill come
00:12:16
on [Applause] [Music] Bill my name is Bill I'm from Philly and my crime is I started an underground
00:12:27
Fight Club in a church it was in 2010 uh I was going through some stuff you know sometimes I would
00:12:34
get mad at my co-workers like other drivers I started taking anger management classes so the classes were
00:12:40
held in a h in a recck room at a church and it was kind of like where they would
00:12:44
have AA meetings it would had like a old paint on the walls like crappy kids drawings just really just depressing
00:12:50
just a bunch of clowns talking about their feelings and crying about this and that so there was one guy in the meeting
00:12:57
who was actually tolerable me and him kind of you know became buddies and uh he was kind of in the same boat as
00:13:03
me he did like MMA and uh he invited me to go with him and check it out the MMA classes were great I mean uh I stopped
00:13:12
doing like self-destructive things I was putting my time exerting my energy into
00:13:16
you know bettering myself learning how to fight and uh it was like a release like I felt myself like less angry I
00:13:22
just had a little more restraint and discipline to me and I was really proud of the person I was
00:13:27
becoming so at the time I was living without a car so I was taking the bus everywhere it was two buses to get there
00:13:33
two buses to come home and you know you missed the bus it was like an hour weight or like sometimes even longer and
00:13:39
uh you know eventually I started missing classes you know one class here two classes there one week I missed the
00:13:44
whole entire week and uh and it started affecting me I was kind of resorting to my old ways you know acting like an
00:13:50
[ __ ] acting crazy I didn't have the discipline I started sh up to the anger
00:13:55
management classes like a little earlier than everyone else and staying later and like you know help him with the
00:14:00
coffee helping get the place set up and uh the guy I was friends with in class I
00:14:05
brought him the idea I'm like yo we should we should start a fight club I was serious I wanted to start a
00:14:11
fight club you know like controlled you know like no one's going to die or get
00:14:14
really fed up him and I were looking to you know maybe turn up the heat a little
00:14:20
bit I'm just think like where can I do this at where can I do this at and then
00:14:24
you know I'm sitting in anger management class I'm like we could probably do it
00:14:27
right here you know I noticed in the meetings that like they didn't really lock the place up like you know it was
00:14:32
an old church so like it had those old windows so you know there's a way we can
00:14:38
get in here we could prop the window open you know uh get in get out clean up so I saw an opportunity and you know
00:14:45
with the church right there I said it so I took it why not no one's going to
00:14:50
know we started recruiting people from the gym you know you'd have people from
00:14:55
all walks of life come in you'd have uh bartenders or people that you know worked in offices or or whatever a
00:15:03
couple of the guys really didn't know what they were getting themselves into
00:15:06
they thought it was just like like a boy scouts club kind of thing and it was definitely not that no we're going to
00:15:11
punch each other with fists like men at first there was just like four of us we started off with and then like you
00:15:17
know they told their friends and then their friends told their friends and then next thing you know there's a dozen
00:15:21
of us bare fist fighting in the basement of a church come on let's get it come on
00:15:27
that's what I'm talking about and it is such a good feeling to just like punch
00:15:31
somebody in the face and and know you're not going to go to jail and there's no
00:15:34
repercussions and that person might punch you in the face too I mean it's just it's fair
00:15:43
game so when you're fighting you usually know a few minutes before and what we
00:15:47
would do is he would size you up with somebody who's around the same size as
00:15:50
you we had to be a little discreet about this so we would put sheets and towels in the windows so you couldn't look in
00:15:56
some guys were mouthpieces some guys wrapped the hands you know definitely no shoes though you know and it's just on
00:16:02
from there and you go until you tap out or until you get knocked out one of my more memorable fights I got matched up
00:16:08
with a guy who was more of my size you know he was really into it like he took his shirt off he had his hands up he was
00:16:14
like dancing around me like he was crazy like I thought I was going to die like I just was like I'm so
00:16:22
mismatched right now like this this dude's a pro we get into it um luckily I
00:16:27
got the upper hand on him and just like laying into him just like laying into him laying into him laying into him and
00:16:32
uh I just kind of like blacked out for a minute and just kind of just like forgot
00:16:36
where I was and like didn't realize what I was doing and like I don't know it
00:16:40
felt like 2 minutes but like in reality it was probably like 2 seconds and uh you know they stopped the fight and I
00:16:46
like see what I'm doing I'm like oh sh like I'm really hurting this guy he was all right we laughed about it
00:16:53
afterwards sometimes we would go out to the bar after one guy would be cut off one guy would have a black guy you know
00:16:59
one time the guy didn't have a shoe on you know these people were just looking
00:17:02
at us in the bar like like what the is wrong with these guys you know we knew and that's that's all that mattered in
00:17:08
that moment we were like brothers you know one time there was this guy he he showed up and like a like a suit and
00:17:15
like I honestly thought he was a like a detective like scoping out the place like I thought we were all going to jail
00:17:21
that night he was there to fight and like literally like took his suit off took his tie off and just kicked the out
00:17:27
of some guy I thought the guy was a nerd I definitely did not see that coming at
00:17:32
all having the fight club really you know opened me up and and helped me out in ways like I I was feeling so good
00:17:38
about myself I I was feeling good about my Outlook I felt like I was doing a service in a in a sick and twisted kind
00:17:44
of way but uh you know I really just started feeling like a sense of Pride I might have been breaking the law here
00:17:49
and there but like uh I just said it you know I was just I don't care was making
00:17:54
me a better person you know when the night was done we would put everything back where it
00:18:01
was sweep the floors you know we had to mop up some blood here and there make sure there was nobody left behind make
00:18:06
sure there was no personal items left uh I found a guy's tooth on the floor one
00:18:11
time uh yeah messy job so one night you know we're in the basement we're finished fighting we're
00:18:18
cleaning up and we hear like this like noise and you know everybody that's supposed to be here is you know in this
00:18:24
room so we go investigate and there's like two drug cutting the copper wire pipe like out of the wall in the boiler
00:18:33
room and it was it was literally the craziest like I literally walked in on that and was just like my mind was blown
00:18:40
we can't really call the cops cuz we're doing illegal too so I'm like literally
00:18:44
face to face at one of them and I'm like look you got to fight me if you're going
00:18:47
to leave he better have an Iron Fist and balls of steel cuz what bill doesn't
00:18:54
know is the cops got the drop on him and they're or already on their way so what's Bill going to do squaring off
00:19:02
against a couple of burglars and the boys in blue round two coming up on statute of limitations
00:19:11
next welcome back to statute of limitations our boy Bill started a fight club in his church but thanks to some
00:19:20
copper and some coppers seems like he might have met his match let's see how
00:19:26
he Ducks his way out of this check this out so we go investigate and there's two
00:19:35
drug addicts cutting the copper wire and pipe like out of theing wall in the boiler room and we can't really call the
00:19:42
cops cuz we're doing illegal too so I'm like literally face to face at one of
00:19:46
them and I'm like look you have to fight me if you're going to leave you got
00:19:49
these two dudes in here who broke into the wrong Church you got 12 sweaty dudes in here who love to fight I I'm not even
00:19:55
religious like that but you're stealing from a church like that's kind ofed up
00:19:59
you know and it just it just didn't sit well with me at all so like I start screaming and yelling and start going
00:20:04
after them a couple of the other guys they just you know helped me out I mean it was a bad day for them next thing you
00:20:10
know we got these guys duct taped we on the ground we're trying to think what
00:20:13
should we do you know over here it's like I'm running an underground Fight
00:20:18
Club and then over here it's like I got two dudes duct tapes like hog tide on
00:20:23
the ground and it's just like what the is going on this this is the furthest
00:20:27
thing from what I had set out for this to be across the street there's a neighbor
00:20:32
in her bathroom like on her porch you know you know when someone's calling the
00:20:36
cops she's definitely calling the cops we just got out of there man and left
00:20:40
those two duct tape there I like to wonder what they told the cops when they got
00:20:46
there that night I'll I'll never forget that night that was probably one of the
00:20:51
best worst and wildest nights of my life hands down a lot of those dudes I never
00:20:57
saw again you know at that point in my life I really think that's what I needed like I
00:21:02
helped some of those guys they helped me we helped each other you know we were kind of all you know going for the same
00:21:08
thing I can't start Underground fight clubs and churches anymore so uh I had
00:21:13
to I had to find other hobbies to uh peque my interest statue limitations is up so
00:21:19

00:21:26
