  Speaker 2: basketball basketball game, I've got a phone survey from the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: American Survey Company asking about my radio listening habits AM
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: and FM. Yeah, that's the first time that's ever happened
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: to me. So I told him, I said, listen, what
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: do you listen to? I said, well, I listened to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: WOOR from ten to noon. And what do you listened to?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I said, I listen to Mark Samo And he goes
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and he couldn't understand my accent because this guy had
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a Spanish accent also, but he says WOA. I said,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: no WR. And he says, what do you listen to
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: an FM? I said, I don't listen to FM radio
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina, but to w R two hours a
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: day from Marx Simone. And I listened on iHeartRadio and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: he's asking you know my name, and you know how
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: old are you? And how many people in the house
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and all that kind of crap. And he says, what
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: do you listen to for music? I said, I listened
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to this to serious radio. After Mark Simone, I go
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to the Grateful Dead channel. Listen to the concert of.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: The day, Grateful Dead channel, Oh.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: My god, yeah, grateful my buddy Bob and San Diego. Yeah.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: But the uh IF. I listened to the Beatle Channel,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and they got nice channels. I'm serious, like pop and
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: country hits. So you got to pop hit, then you
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: get a country hit from all different decades. But I
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: thought it'd be interesting because that's one of the first surveys.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And I was in radio for twenty five years too,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: but that's the first time I ever got cold about
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: a radio survey. And how old are you? How much
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you make? I said, I'm not answering that question, but
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I told him, I said, for two hours every day,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: five days a week, it's wo R Mark Simone from
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: ten to noon, and I go listen to Serious. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: couldn't even tell him the call letters of an FM
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: station in South Carolina because I.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Well, unfortunately nobody's ever heard of the American Survey Company.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell that is or where
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the service. Yeah, well, thanks for mentioning us, Thanks for
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: thanks for that. Good, good good. I know, yeah, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: don't know, you know. I mean there's like Nielsen Ratings,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and there's uh, what else do we use. There's a
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: few rating services that that we use here in radio,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. They've never heard of the American
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Survey Company. You know, people always say when you talk
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: about surveys, well, nobody ever asked me, Or when you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: talk about a poll, I don't know about these polls.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Nobody ever pulled me. Well, uh, that's it doesn't matter.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: They pulled somebody like you. If it's a really good poll,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: they've got a representative sample of everybody. And I believe
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it or not, I have been contacted by poles, even
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: rating companies. I've been uh, you know, you have to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: tell them you can't do it, you're you know so.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But I've actually been contacted a few times. Let's go
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing? Ah?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Hi, Mark, here's the I agree with the comedian Robers.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Foster Brooks of Pennsylvania, go ahead.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I agree with Rob Schneider about the
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Nineteenth Amendment. I mean, I think we should allow women
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: to vote. Just not unimportant.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Well that's very open of you. You know, you think
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: we should allow women to vote. That would not be
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: too controversial.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: No, just not on an important thing.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, just not unimportant talk all right? Phil Foster Brooks Junior,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: thank you for calling. It's hard to believe women were
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: not allowed to vote until was it somewhere in the twenties?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? Do you imagine that finally let
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it was controversial to let women vote. Let's go to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Albert in Keyport, Albert. How you doing?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: What's happened? I usually call sports shows, but you're raped
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: by the sports thing and I heard you talking anyway,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Thanks for taking my call.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: What do you call the sports shows about?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: You know, the different guys who play stuff that you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: you know, just talk about sports and stuff. I mean,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: It's hard to listen to that sports radio. Uh, it's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: just a bunch.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Of some of them, some of the ones that are
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: on right now in the morning, I can't stand them,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: But the whole thing. I used to listen to Mike Francessa.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: He was good. He seemed to know all kinds of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: inside stuff that nobody else knew, so that was interesting.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: But outside of that, these sports shows are like, it's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a bunch of guys in a bar arguing about their opinions.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: The one is the one, the ones they got going out.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: They just switched the one thing. They switched their whole routine,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and they messed up the whole thing. They got to
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: take us some really ignorant people. It's just I wanted
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to say something about thank you for taking a call.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: It's not a calaistic What I often wondered is why
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: didn't she had twenty four hour guards on that premises
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: with her mother here being that old.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Because would think to have it. That's the house she
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: grew up in, lived there all her life. There's absolutely
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: no crime in the neighborhood, no crime at all.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: They know who she was. Somebody knew who she you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: evidently they knew who she was and where she was.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: It's just she's eighty. It wasn't like she was fifty
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: or something. She was eighty four with a pacemaker. I'm
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: not putting anything on.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You know, it would be highly unusual. The biggest celebrities
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: in the world don't have guards on their mother's house.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It's just not something.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Yea, they ought. It's the way it is going now.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: It's the world's so crazy. It's not really that that's
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: out of the question.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's interesting. You bring up a good point. Well,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Yeah that maybe now some celebrities or
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: mother living alone somewhere now they're hiring guards. It's just
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you know, now, did you see this Howard Stern lawsuit?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Howard Stern had a personal assistant. He's got a few
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of them, but this one was basically working in his
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Southampton house, managing that house. She's now suing him. I
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: can't see what she's suing him over. She's she can't
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: seem to explain what it is. She claims a hostile
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: work environment, but she hasn't explained what was so hostile.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: She was getting two hundred and sixty five thousand a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: year to be the personal assistant. That doesn't seem that hostile,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: she said. She was forced to sign a non disclosure agreement,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and in the non disclosure she was not allowed to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: reveal anything about what goes on in the household. She
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: was not allowed to reveal what they eat, what consumer
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: products they use, what their travel arrangements are, where they stay,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: locations of their residents. Well, that makes sense. I can
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: understand not wanting somebody to reveal that. So so far,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I still can't figure out what the lawsuit is over.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: She was not allowed to reveal private conversations they were
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: having their political stuff. Well, it makes sense. I would
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: think anybody with a celebrity would make somebody sign that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: So we still can't figure out what this lawsuit is over.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Joe in Elmwood Park. Joe, how you doing.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Good morning Mark, Good morning Frince.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: How come nobody talks about the base that we lost?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't he the Iranian mission.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Be easier if we had that base?
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: What base?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: The base in Afghanistan that the other two gave away.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know that we'd need that base. Now. We
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: don't need it for any reason. We can do the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: whole thing from here, believe it or not. The bombing
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of the nuclear reactor was all done from Florida. We
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: don't need that base. Okay, thanks for calling the problem
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he's talking about. When Biden pulled out of Afghanistan, the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: most embarrassing bungled up military situation in US history. He
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: left billions of dollars worth of equipment lying there, all
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: sorts of advanced sophisticated weaponry, just left it there, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it fell into the hands of our enemies, and Afghanistan
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and terrorist ISIS got a hold of it. The problem
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: with that base is China. And that's the problem. That base,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, was very very close to China,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: closer to China than any other base we've got. That's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: one reason we should have kept it. It was about Bagram
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Air Base. But China has probably taken it over it
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: they're now using it. And all those weapons that were
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: left on the ground and taken fell in the hands
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: of ISIS that probably somewhere in Iran and are being
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: used against us as we speak, thanks to Joe Biden. Hey,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the other thing is you'll hear all these people, these
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: pannikins who are all upset about the ranning. We're say,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: look what it's done to the stock market. Has crushed
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the stock MOI hasn't crushed the stock market. It is
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: down about five percent. It'll remember we went through this
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: with the tariffs where the stock market came down ten percent,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: fifteen percent, well, which once that was settled, it's sore
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to all time new highs, set new records. It'll do
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that here. But also, even at this moment with it down,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it's still way above where it was under Joe Biden.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Ever since President Trump took office, it's up. It's way up.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: So hey, when we come back to brilliant columnist Liz Peak,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to her next on seven to ten wor
