  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, Mark Simone.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Walt in Westchester. Walt,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, pretty good. You just mentioned Fraser Crane. His
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: wife on screen, Lilith, was perhaps the most reprehensible character
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: that I've ever seen. Notice, and I suspect, that Baby
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Newworth should have received many an award for her expert portrayal.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: What say you?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: No, I liked, what was her name, Lilith, Lilith Crane.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: No, I liked Baby Newworth. Very nice woman, very nice actress.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: She was a pretty good character. I mean, he was
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: kind of reprehensible, too, Frasier Crane. Well, that shut him up.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah. He's a snotty, elitist.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: She comes across as a characteristic liberal. I wonder if
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: she is so in real life.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I've talked to her a million times. She's been
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: on the show a bunch of times. But to be
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: honest with you, I don't think I've ever heard her
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: say anything political. Although I think you might be right.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I think she was involved in one of those crazy campaigns.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: You may be right. Let's go to Bob in Florida. Bob,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday, Mark Simone, Mr.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: New York.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I hope I got your title right.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where are you in Florida?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I'm in Boquilla, Florida.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Where the hell is that?
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Where?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: It's on Pine Island. It's in southwest Florida. It's west
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of Cape Coral. You know, Fort Myers, Cape Coral metropolitan area. Pardon?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: What are you, the fugitive? Find a place in Florida.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm running from the law. I really shouldn't comment
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: on that. No, I grew up in Chicago. I lived
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in Arizona for years with the post office. I was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a mailman in Los Angeles for 15, 16 years. My
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: body was breaking down. My mind couldn't take the BS.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: What do you mean your body was breaking down? So
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you mean very tough on your body?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Carrying mail up and down. People would tell me, hey,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: nice day for a walk. And I would say, yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: too bad I've got to carry this heavy sack of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: mail on my back.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Well, don't you have one of those carts with the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: wheels that you push?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I was in hills. A lot of people opted for
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the carts. I never liked the cart. It was too
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: much of a hindrance.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And when you're a postman in Arizona, isn't it like
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: 110 degrees some days? You got to be out there?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: No, actually, I worked on the inside in Arizona for
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a year. I started in Chicago on the inside. One
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: day they put up a notice that reassignment opportunities exist
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in the Phoenix district. I said, hell, sign me up.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: But then I get out there and it was like, well,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Keely of Florida. It was like nothing around there at all. Oh.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: You know, this would be a hell of a series,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a TV series, a dramatic series. Mailman. Yeah. A Quinn
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Martin introduction. Go ahead. What did you want to say?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, some of the women letter carriers, they
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: call themselves mail ladies. And I was in Los Angeles, so,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those letter carriers.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Mail ladies.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You don't see a lot of Playboy centerfolds here. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: heard a news thing about some religious guy that, met
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: with Trump, and Trump prayed with him and did a video.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: So the religious guy complained that El Presidente put that
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: video out as a political maneuver. You see, I had
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to wait an hour and a half to go in this...
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Imagine Mark Simone having to wait an hour and a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: half to go in... to meet with the leader of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the free world. But anyway, so the guy's making it
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: into a political thing now, you know, two weeks before
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the election, you did this. Why are you going out
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and talking about it? It was such a terrible thing
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: because you want to rally Democrats.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: No, there's Trump haters everywhere. It's like Bill Maher goes
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to dinner, admits the president was really gracious to him
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and then trashes him. That's politics. Let's go to Cindy
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: in Connecticut. Cindy, how you doing?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Hi, Mark.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: First time caller. Love your show.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: I just caught a documentary over the weekend I'd like
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: to recommend to some of your listeners. It was called
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: White Guilt.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: What is that about?
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: It covers the civil rights movement and the gentleman Shelby Steele.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah. Where are you in Connecticut?
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Stratford.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Stratford is beautiful. It was a gorgeous autumn weekend. This
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: is what you do. You sit home and watch a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: documentary called White Guilt.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Get outside.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Have some fun. I did it last night in the evening.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It's Sunday night. Go out. There's a million great places. Stratford,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Milford's got a lot of action there. Go on out.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: We're going out for a nice walk today.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: Going down to Milford and walk the beach.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Milford is beautiful. Got a lot of great restaurants.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I Yeah, and I just wanted to say I'm
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: feeling real good about the election. Hopefully we'll see some
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: good stuff come out of this.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, get out there and vote. Early voting.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Make sure you do that early voting. Thanks for calling, Cindy.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Dennis in Long Island. Dennis, how are you?
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: I'm well.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: You know, you mentioned earlier the Wall Street Journal turning
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: sour on Donald Trump.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: On everything. It's become unreliable. Don't read the Wall Street
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Journal anymore. You can't even.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Well, no, no, no.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: It's owned by Rupert Murdoch and the Murdoch clan. They
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: hate Donald Trump. So that's what you say.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, no, no, that's fine. And that's OK, too,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: if you hate Donald Trump. But it's more than that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: They've become unreliable. And again, it might be owned by
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Rupert Murdoch. He's not a big tamper. I mean, once
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: in a while he'll say something, but he's. Not a hands-on,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: day-to-day guy on those things. He basically leaves them independent.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal has just become very unreliable. Let's go
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to Ira in Brooklyn. Ira, how are you doing?
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Good. Thank you, Mark. Mark, you used to have a
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: guy call you. This was a long time ago. He
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: wanted to be a stand-up comic, and you used to
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: have so much fun with him. You used to tease him.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: Do you remember who it was? Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: He used to be a prison guard, right?
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: I don't remember that part.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like a retired corrections officer. He lived
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: in Long Island. He would call in. You're talking like
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: 10 years ago. He was a very nice guy. I
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: met him once somewhere in Long Island. He came over
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: to me. I can't remember his name, but you're right.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: He used to call all the time and try out
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: his stand-up. I don't know what happened to him. Sometimes
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: callers just disappear, and you never know ever what happened
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to them. That's a good question. If anybody remembers or
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: knows him, tell him to call again. We haven't talked
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to him in a long time. Hey, coming up, we've
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: got a lot of stuff to get to in the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: next hour. And Bruce Blakeman will be with us later
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: in the program. Don't forget, I'll be filling in for
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Sean Hannity today, 3 to 6. He's on his honeymoon.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I guess that's a good excuse to miss work. Yeah,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I guess that's a good excuse. And then we'll talk
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: to the greatest columnist in America, Michael Goodwin. Coming up
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: next on 710WOR.
