Latest / The Mark Simone Show / Hour 3: Who has AI down the most?
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Mark Simone Show, WOR. Hey, it's Friday.
- 0:08Speaker 1: That's the good news. Bad news, it's the final Friday
- 0:10Speaker 1: of summer. Autumn begins on Wednesday. It's the final day
- 0:16Speaker 1: that it'll be 80 degrees. The high today, about 80, 81.
- 0:20Speaker 1: And then the high tomorrow, like 70. And then most
- 0:24Speaker 1: of next week, it's in the 60s. That's right, mid-60s
- 0:26Speaker 1: will be the high. Most of next week. So it's
- 0:29Speaker 1: coming fast. Autumn. Sad news. Warren Buffett has stepped down
- 0:35Speaker 1: as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. He's 96 and I guess
- 0:41Speaker 1: having a little trouble. Last time I saw him, he
- 0:43Speaker 1: had hearing aid in both ears. Can't drive anymore. Can't
- 0:47Speaker 1: see well enough to drive. And that was about a
- 0:50Speaker 1: year or two years ago, maybe. So 96 and he
- 0:54Speaker 1: has to step down. He was no longer the CEO.
- 0:57Speaker 1: He was the chairman of the board stepped down. He'll
- 1:00Speaker 1: be the chairman of Meredith's and he's appointed his son,
- 1:03Speaker 1: Howard Buffett, who's in his sixties. Howard Buffett will be
- 1:07Speaker 1: the new chairman of the board. Howard, Howard actually looks
- 1:12Speaker 1: older than Warren, but, uh, he'll be the new, uh,
- 1:16Speaker 1: chairman of the board. Uh, Buffett will remain an advisor
- 1:19Speaker 1: and a member of the board of directors, but it's still,
- 1:22Speaker 1: still kind of sad. Um, Now, there's a lot going
- 1:26Speaker 1: on all over the place. First of all, the AI
- 1:31Speaker 1: scheme continues. They're trying very hard to make this the
- 1:37Speaker 1: new climate change. You're supposed to be afraid that AI
- 1:40Speaker 1: will kill you unless you vote for the Democrats and
- 1:43Speaker 1: they stop it. Senator Kennedy had some kind of bill
- 1:49Speaker 1: to stop it, but that bill got killed. Uh, Kennedy is,
- 1:55Speaker 1: you know, he didn't really have that thick Southern accent, uh,
- 1:57Speaker 1: years ago. Now, all of a sudden he's a very
- 2:00Speaker 1: Southern and he came up with all these, uh, Andy Griffith, uh, expressions. Uh,
- 2:06Speaker 1: you know, I'm more than a dog and a Bob tail, whatever.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Listen to Kennedy. My mama didn't raise a fool.
- 2:11Speaker 2: And if she did, it was one of my brothers.
- 2:15Speaker 2: I mean, no disrespect to my friend Senator Paul. I
- 2:18Speaker 2: understand what he's trying to do. Um, But he's not
- 2:23Speaker 2: talking to Bambi's baby brother here. A committee is a
- 2:28Speaker 2: way to kill this. You can vote against my bill.
- 2:31Speaker 2: You can object. But at least be intellectually honest and say,
- 2:35Speaker 2: I don't want to do this.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Don't appoint a committee.
- 2:40Speaker 2: That's the weenie way out.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I don't know what that was. Yeah, the
- 2:44Speaker 1: bill that was too soon to, I mean, nobody knows
- 2:47Speaker 1: less about AI than Senator Kennedy. Rand Paul, a respondent.
- 2:50Speaker 3: It's imperative that AI systems are safe and that humans
- 2:54Speaker 3: remain in control. But if Congress acts hastily before the
- 2:58Speaker 3: technology is understood, Congress risks killing innovation and setting this
- 3:03Speaker 3: technology back decades.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Yeah, important thing to remember, it's a national security issue
- 3:07Speaker 1: because whoever wins the AI race wins everything. This is
- 3:11Speaker 1: like the nuclear weapons of now. So if we stop,
- 3:13Speaker 1: slow down, China goes crazy. We're way ahead of China,
- 3:18Speaker 1: way ahead of China. And that's terrifying China. If we
- 3:22Speaker 1: slow down, they speed up and they get ahead of us.
- 3:24Speaker 1: And that's the problem. Rand Paul.
- 3:26Speaker 3: And I really fear reactionaries who jump forward and, you know,
- 3:31Speaker 3: want to stop the Terminator may not be the most
- 3:33Speaker 3: thoughtful approach to AI.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, the craziest is Bernie Sanders. who's so crazy,
- 3:41Speaker 1: he actually teamed up with Steve Bannon, the two of
- 3:43Speaker 1: them holding a press conference. Two crazies from both sides
- 3:46Speaker 1: of the aisle holding a press conference together. And Bernie
- 3:50Speaker 1: Sanders was the guy who six years ago said we
- 3:53Speaker 1: would all be dead if we didn't stop climate change
- 3:55Speaker 1: in six years. Well, it's six years later. Everything's exactly
- 4:00Speaker 1: the same. So Bernie Sanders, always a nut, that Bernie Sanders,
- 4:04Speaker 1: always an extremist, always a, You know, remember the income
- 4:10Speaker 1: inequality would kill us, and the top 1% have 20%
- 4:15Speaker 1: of the top 3%, and he's just always shooting his
- 4:18Speaker 1: mouth off. Bernie Sanders.
- 4:20Speaker 4: We have an industry of extraordinary importance, the AI industry,
- 4:26Speaker 4: which is controlled by a handful of the richest people
- 4:30Speaker 4: in the world. Ellison, Bezos, Musk, and others, who really
- 4:35Speaker 4: do not stay up nights worrying about the implications of
- 4:39Speaker 4: what they are doing until very recently. So they, if
- 4:42Speaker 4: they're going to be honest about it, and if they're
- 4:43Speaker 4: telling the American people that this is a real danger,
- 4:47Speaker 4: then you should not be spending money trying to defeat
- 4:50Speaker 4: candidates or members of Congress who want to do something
- 4:52Speaker 4: about it.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're supposed to believe that senators stay up
- 4:56Speaker 1: all night worrying about us. Here's Kennedy's response.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I don't agree with Senator Sanders. He wants to stop
- 5:05Speaker 2: the advancement of AI.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I don't.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Having said that, I don't completely trust these AI tech CEOs.
- 5:15Speaker 2: I'm not saying they're as bad as timeshare salesmen, but
- 5:19Speaker 2: they've got a vested interest here.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Yeah. You got to say it like he does. I mean,
- 5:23Speaker 1: how did he say it?
- 5:23Speaker 2: I don't agree with Senator Sanders. He wants to to
- 5:27Speaker 2: stop the advancement of AI.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so it's not AI. It's AI. AI. There's
- 5:36Speaker 1: no AI. It's AI. Go back about 20 years and
- 5:42Speaker 1: get some video of Kennedy. He talked like this. He
- 5:45Speaker 1: talked just normal. Then he got a little more Southern,
- 5:48Speaker 1: a little more Southern, and now it's AI.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:53Speaker 1: So, again, this is all a plot, carefully coordinated. You
- 5:56Speaker 1: know who's the guy coaching this behind the scenes? It's
- 5:59Speaker 1: been Barack Obama flying around the country the last few weeks.
- 6:03Speaker 1: They're trying to– they started this a little too late.
- 6:06Speaker 1: This is supposed to be the big midterm issue. You
- 6:08Speaker 1: remember six years ago they used climate change as the issue.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Climate change. That's why Bernie Sanders said six years– every
- 6:19Speaker 1: scientist agrees that six years will all be wiped out
- 6:22Speaker 1: by climate change. So six years later, nothing happened. They're
- 6:26Speaker 1: going to do this with AI now and see if
- 6:28Speaker 1: it works. I don't think they'll pull it off. So
- 6:31Speaker 1: I went to the eye doctor yesterday. And the problem
- 6:34Speaker 1: I have is dry eye. And he said, and you
- 6:37Speaker 1: talk to people in the waiting room. They're all there
- 6:38Speaker 1: for the dry eye. They got this dry eye. So
- 6:41Speaker 1: this guy's the most brilliant eye doctor in the world.
- 6:43Speaker 1: I said, what? He said, it's from looking at your phone.
- 6:46Speaker 1: It's from staring at your phone. And I didn't say this,
- 6:51Speaker 1: but I'm thinking to myself, he just kept me waiting
- 6:53Speaker 1: for 40 minutes in the waiting room. And all I
- 6:55Speaker 1: did was look at my phone for 40 minutes. So
- 6:56Speaker 1: you caused the dry eye. But actually, the important rule,
- 7:00Speaker 1: he said, you know, when you look at your phone,
- 7:01Speaker 1: you don't blink. So this is, you want to help yourself.
- 7:06Speaker 1: If you've got this dry eye problem, just keep blinking
- 7:08Speaker 1: and train yourself. I've taught myself since then, when I
- 7:11Speaker 1: look at the phone, to just keep blinking every so often.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Every time you, you know, delete them, hit delete. Anytime
- 7:18Speaker 1: you change something. just blink, just blink all the time.
- 7:21Speaker 1: As you're looking at your phone, it can cure the
- 7:24Speaker 1: dry eye right there. You know, they have these national
- 7:27Speaker 1: French fry day. It's national, uh, peanut butter day. It's
- 7:30Speaker 1: national pretzel day. Today is national cheeseburger day. I forget
- 7:35Speaker 1: who started this, but then every industry jumped in and
- 7:39Speaker 1: came up with national ice cream day, whatever industry they
- 7:41Speaker 1: came up with a day to make you buy their products.
- 7:44Speaker 1: So it's national cheeseburger day. Uh, And how come, you know,
- 7:49Speaker 1: when it's one of these days here at iHeart, outside
- 7:52Speaker 1: over there, there's always 12 buffets. If it's National Bagel Day,
- 7:55Speaker 1: there's bagel buffets everywhere. Every big bagel company brings buffets.
- 8:01Speaker 1: There's nothing anywhere. There's not a cheeseburger in sight. There's
- 8:03Speaker 1: no food anywhere. It's because it's Friday. Nobody works here
- 8:06Speaker 1: on Friday. It's the day you work from home. Friday
- 8:09Speaker 1: and Monday, everybody works from home. So I just, to
- 8:12Speaker 1: you industries, if you're going to do these days, please
- 8:14Speaker 1: do them Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday so we get the
- 8:17Speaker 1: buffets here. But it's National Cheeseburger Day. I really don't
- 8:20Speaker 1: think you need a day to promote cheeseburgers. I don't
- 8:23Speaker 1: think you have to try to push people to go
- 8:25Speaker 1: get a cheeseburger. It's something you do all the time anyway.
- 8:28Speaker 1: If you walk by an Apple store, you're going to
- 8:30Speaker 1: see those ropes and lines. There's lines everywhere because the
- 8:34Speaker 1: iPhone 18, even though everybody's pre-ordered it, a lot of
- 8:38Speaker 1: people didn't. They go in the store and buy it.
- 8:40Speaker 1: I understand. You want to see it first. Fiddle with
- 8:43Speaker 1: it first. But this is the first day it's in
- 8:45Speaker 1: the stores. And there's lines everywhere on every Apple store.
- 8:50Speaker 1: You remember in Minnesota where all those judges, those federal
- 8:56Speaker 1: judges on immigration, ICE, they kept ruling against Trump. Well,
- 9:00Speaker 1: it turns out now they might have been colluding. And
- 9:03Speaker 1: there's an investigation into these federal judges. These are all
- 9:07Speaker 1: separate cases. But the federal judges were colluding, actually calls, emails,
- 9:12Speaker 1: texts to each other. You're not supposed to do that.
- 9:16Speaker 1: So an investigation is underway into these judges who might
- 9:20Speaker 1: find themselves in a little trouble ethically. Hey, speaking of Minnesota,
- 9:25Speaker 1: the talk was Ilhan Omar, Department of Justice, investigating, kick
- 9:29Speaker 1: her out of the country because she married her brother
- 9:33Speaker 1: to become a citizen. Well, according to immigration experts, ICE lawyers,
- 9:39Speaker 1: all of that, you can't really kick her out for
- 9:41Speaker 1: marrying her brother. You can convict her of something. You
- 9:46Speaker 1: can fine her. You can ban the brother from the country.
- 9:50Speaker 1: But you can't kick her out for all kinds of legal.
- 9:52Speaker 1: It's not punishable by deportation. But they are looking into
- 9:58Speaker 1: her father, her son. father, how he got here. Noor
- 10:06Speaker 1: Saad Mohammed Elmi, long identified as an educator. He died
- 10:10Speaker 1: in 2020. But they're looking at evidence that he may
- 10:13Speaker 1: have done something fraudulent on his application to become a citizen.
- 10:20Speaker 1: And they're looking at that. If that's the case, they
- 10:22Speaker 1: may be able to deport her. So the case having
- 10:25Speaker 1: a few bumps, but they keep proceeding. Now, you always
- 10:29Speaker 1: hear about people leaving New York. It's not as dire
- 10:33Speaker 1: as they make it out to be. First of all,
- 10:35Speaker 1: more people are coming in than leaving. You can't try
- 10:38Speaker 1: to rent an apartment in New York right now. It's
- 10:39Speaker 1: almost impossible. They're all rented. The rental market is exploding.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Commercial real estate is exploding right now. high-end uh condo
- 10:49Speaker 1: co-op sales are going crazy but you know who is
- 10:51Speaker 1: leaving biggest percentage of people leaving young people gen zers
- 10:58Speaker 1: it's not that they don't like new york they're just
- 11:01Speaker 1: moving because they you know these uh young young young
- 11:04Speaker 1: people can't afford to live here can't afford an apartment
- 11:08Speaker 1: so gen zers are fleeing faster than anywhere else but
- 11:10Speaker 1: they don't go far uh leaving the Big Apple, 30,000
- 11:17Speaker 1: Gen Zers, 10,000 of them going to Philadelphia. And they're
- 11:21Speaker 1: doing this in other places, in Los Angeles too. They
- 11:23Speaker 1: can't afford the big city they want to be in,
- 11:25Speaker 1: so they go about two hours out where they can
- 11:29Speaker 1: get something much cheaper. For instance, a typical home in
- 11:32Speaker 1: New York sells for $ 800, 000. In Cleveland, $ 300, 000. That's a
- 11:37Speaker 1: huge savings. So they're moving for that reason. And it's
- 11:42Speaker 1: also easier to get jobs. They're doing the same thing
- 11:45Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. They're moving like two hours away to
- 11:47Speaker 1: Riverside where it's one third the price. This is a
- 11:51Speaker 1: phenomenon happening all over the place now with these Gen Zers.
- 11:54Speaker 1: They don't work as hard. They don't make as much money.
- 11:58Speaker 1: And if they live in a really expensive place, LA
- 12:02Speaker 1: or New York, it's just tough. So they're all fleeing
- 12:06Speaker 1: in great numbers two hours away. That way they can
- 12:09Speaker 1: come into the city when they want, but also spend
- 12:12Speaker 1: a lot less money Hey, the Upper East Side, they're
- 12:15Speaker 1: a little upset there. 62nd Street, York Avenue. Homeless shelter.
- 12:22Speaker 1: It was supposed to be gone. It's still there. Thanks
- 12:25Speaker 1: to the Mamdani administration. 500 East 62nd. The Bentley Hotel.
- 12:31Speaker 1: It was quite a luxurious hotel. An upscale hotel, the
- 12:34Speaker 1: Bentley Hotel. Nobody minded having that in the neighborhood. But
- 12:37Speaker 1: then it became a homeless shelter because what happened is
- 12:40Speaker 1: the city started putting the illegals there. And when that ended,
- 12:46Speaker 1: next thing you know, they put the homeless there. And
- 12:51Speaker 1: the hotels, you say, well, why would a hotel even,
- 12:54Speaker 1: because you get a huge, huge contract. That's why these
- 12:58Speaker 1: hotels do it. You know, you can make a lot
- 13:00Speaker 1: of money as a hotel, but it's tough to operate
- 13:02Speaker 1: a hotel. You got difficulty running this business day and night.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Then you got to advertise. You got to hope to
- 13:09Speaker 1: get people. You got to market. If you can get
- 13:11Speaker 1: one of these contracts with the city where they'll take
- 13:13Speaker 1: all the rooms and You make a fortune and you
- 13:16Speaker 1: don't have to do that much. So this hotel got
- 13:19Speaker 1: a $ 32 million contract to run it as a homeless shelter.
- 13:25Speaker 1: But then the neighbors went crazy. The whole thing was
- 13:27Speaker 1: supposed to end. No more homeless shelter in the neighborhood.
- 13:32Speaker 1: So the way they got around it, they say it's
- 13:35Speaker 1: no longer a homeless shelter. It's a humanitarian emergency response
- 13:38Speaker 1: and relief center. It's a tier two family shelter, whatever
- 13:44Speaker 1: the hell that is. It's a Yorkville sanctuary. They just
- 13:48Speaker 1: changed the name. It's still a homeless shelter and it's
- 13:50Speaker 1: screwing up the whole neighborhood. So they're not thrilled about it. Hey,
- 13:54Speaker 1: we'll take some calls in a minute. 800-321-0710 is the number.
- 14:01Speaker 1: New callers. We always love hearing from new callers.
- 14:03Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
- 14:07Speaker 1: 321-0710 on 710WOR. Mark Simone.
- 14:12Speaker 6: Mr.
- 14:12Speaker 1: New York.
- 14:13Speaker 7: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Hey, let's take some calls.
- 14:18Speaker 6: 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Let's go to Paul, North Carolina. Paul, how you doing?
- 14:34Speaker 6: Hey, Mark, how's it going?
- 14:35Speaker 5: Interesting detail about the disruptive guy on the plane. The
- 14:40Speaker 5: guy sitting next to him was actually a pastor and
- 14:42Speaker 5: a rabbi, a messianic rabbi, which he believes Jesus is
- 14:46Speaker 5: the Messiah. And a very well-known guy, Jonathan Cahn, widely
- 14:51Speaker 5: reported in the Post and TV interviews. But he said
- 14:55Speaker 5: that he wasn't drunk, he was very pleasant, and he
- 14:58Speaker 5: feels that it was a demonic spirit that came over him.
- 15:01Speaker 5: instantly changed him when the subject of Jesus came up
- 15:04Speaker 5: between the two of him.
- 15:06Speaker 1: All right. Again, I give you my plain rule. One,
- 15:09Speaker 1: don't talk to the person next to you. If you
- 15:11Speaker 1: have to talk to him, forget Jesus. Talk about, uh,
- 15:15Speaker 1: the Knicks. Don't talk about Jesus with the person.
- 15:18Speaker 6: Believe me.
- 15:18Speaker 5: I know I ended up sitting next to a, uh,
- 15:21Speaker 5: former New Jersey Congressman, uh, a year or two ago,
- 15:24Speaker 5: flying back to New York for work. And, uh, Ended
- 15:28Speaker 5: up having to have a whole political conversation.
- 15:30Speaker 1: With him a long way. Again, don't talk to the
- 15:31Speaker 1: person next to you. If you find out it's a
- 15:33Speaker 1: New Jersey congressman, change seats. Don't sit next to him.
- 15:37Speaker 5: Believe me, I would have if I could.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for calling. Let's go to Sandy in Rhode Island. Sandy,
- 15:44Speaker 1: where are you in Rhode Island?
- 15:46Speaker 8: Mark Simone, it's so good to talk to you. I
- 15:48Speaker 8: haven't talked to you in two years.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Oh, where are you in Rhode Island?
- 15:51Speaker 8: In Westerly, Rhode Island.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Very nice place. Do you know that I used to
- 15:55Speaker 1: be on WPRO Providence, Rhode Island?
- 15:59Speaker 8: You were? Yes.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Wow.
- 16:01Speaker 8: Yeah, well, Taylor Swift has a house here on the
- 16:04Speaker 8: beach in Watch Hill.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where the Ocean House is, right?
- 16:08Speaker 6: Yes.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Most beautiful, beautiful New England hotel resort in the world.
- 16:13Speaker 8: It is. Well, Michael, you know everything, and I've been
- 16:17Speaker 8: wanting to call you for a long time. I've been
- 16:20Speaker 8: praying for Nancy, Savannah Guthrie's mother, that they'll find her.
- 16:25Speaker 8: Have you heard anything at all? It's been seven months,
- 16:29Speaker 8: and the last thing I heard, she got a note
- 16:32Speaker 8: saying her mother was buried in nature. I don't hear
- 16:35Speaker 8: anything on the radio.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Well, I noticed this past two weeks, for the first
- 16:40Speaker 1: time ever, Nancy Guthrie says, when she talks about her mother,
- 16:43Speaker 1: she was. She's using the past tense on her now.
- 16:47Speaker 1: So I guess she's accepted the fact that she's gone,
- 16:51Speaker 1: most likely buried somewhere. They may eventually find her, her remains.
- 16:55Speaker 6: I hope so.
- 16:57Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 16:58Speaker 1: All right. Well, thanks for calling. Apparently there were a
- 17:01Speaker 1: bunch of ransom notes or notes from various people claiming
- 17:05Speaker 1: to be the kidnapper. There was one that apparently was
- 17:07Speaker 1: the real one because he, in the note, identified the
- 17:12Speaker 1: type of watch, the color of the Apple watch she
- 17:14Speaker 1: was wearing, something about her... He knew enough that they
- 17:19Speaker 1: knew it was the real guy. And that's the one
- 17:21Speaker 1: that said she's buried in nature now. Let's go to
- 17:26Speaker 1: Rob Franklin Square. Rob, how are you doing?
- 17:28Speaker 9: Hi, Mark. Before I get to Comics Unleashed, I'd like
- 17:32Speaker 9: to shout out to Righteous Brother Bill Medley's birthday. Tomorrow
- 17:35Speaker 9: will be 86. With Comics Unleashed, I noticed that they've
- 17:40Speaker 9: only done like four seasons based over like almost 20 years.
- 17:43Speaker 1: No, no, no. They've done thousands of shows. They've done
- 17:46Speaker 1: it for 20 years.
- 17:47Speaker 9: But the seasons like today, the show tonight is from
- 17:53Speaker 9: November 2025. and then the second one, 1205, is from
- 17:58Speaker 9: Season 1.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Just like the other late-night shows, they do occasionally run reruns.
- 18:03Speaker 9: Yeah, it's been syndicated, but I think the, like, four seasons,
- 18:07Speaker 9: I don't think a lot of them weren't shown in
- 18:09Speaker 9: New York until.

- 19:25Speaker 1: it's beating the hell out of them right now. Let's
- 19:27Speaker 1: go to Pete in Wayne, New Jersey. Pete, how are
- 19:30Speaker 1: you doing? Hey, Mark. How are you?
- 19:33Speaker 6: I go back a long way with you.
- 19:34Speaker 7: I actually listened to you when you were on the
- 19:36Speaker 7: Simone phone when I was a young kid.
- 19:38Speaker 1: You're still a young kid.
- 19:41Speaker 6: Excuse me?
- 19:42Speaker 1: Still a young kid.
- 19:43Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm 66, but I feel like I'm 30 anyway.
- 19:47Speaker 7: Going back, I was thinking about old-time talk radio, and
- 19:52Speaker 7: I remember Bob Grant and his opening monologues, and most
- 19:56Speaker 7: people never listen to Bob Grant, but if you go
- 19:59Speaker 7: back now and listen to his opening monologues, they were epic.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Well, he was a very smart guy, very articulate guy,
- 20:06Speaker 1: not the nicest guy in the world in real life,
- 20:08Speaker 1: but a very... great talk show host and uh he
- 20:12Speaker 1: would open the show what did he say let's be
- 20:14Speaker 1: heard all right he would always do that straight ahead
- 20:18Speaker 1: straight ahead and.
- 20:18Speaker 10: He'd say straight ahead he's a free to the open
- 20:22Speaker 10: uh wait the show dedicated to the free and open
- 20:25Speaker 10: exchange of ideas and of opinions yeah so i wonder
- 20:29Speaker 10: i'm wondering if you would ever consider doing like an
- 20:32Speaker 10: opening monologue the way he.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Did Many people copied Bob Grant. Mark Levin copies him.
- 20:39Speaker 1: He always talks about him. Sean Hannity, a little, once
- 20:42Speaker 1: in a while, throws him in. I tried very hard
- 20:44Speaker 1: never to be like Bob Grant.
- 20:46Speaker 6: No, no, no. You have a different shtick.
- 20:48Speaker 7: You're more pleasant.
- 20:49Speaker 10: But I'm saying, if you ever did his opening monologue,
- 20:52Speaker 10: I think it would make a great show that much
- 20:54Speaker 10: even better.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Well, we already do an opening monologue.
- 20:57Speaker 10: Well, the way he did it. He would attack a
- 21:00Speaker 10: hot topic. And he would just dissect it and.
- 21:03Speaker 6: Make you think.
- 21:04Speaker 1: He was also, uh, it could be a bit of
- 21:07Speaker 1: a racist at times. He had a lot of bad
- 21:09Speaker 1: sides to him too.
- 21:11Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Remember he got run out of town several times. And, uh, yeah,
- 21:16Speaker 1: one time he was run out of town for, he
- 21:18Speaker 1: couldn't come back for like eight years. And then, uh,
- 21:22Speaker 1: early two thousands. Remember the New York magazine big, he
- 21:25Speaker 1: put them on the cover. It was called hate radio. And, uh,
- 21:29Speaker 1: And then, again, the racist stuff always caught up with him.
- 21:32Speaker 1: He tried to tone it down in later years, but
- 21:34Speaker 1: then one comment got him fired from ABC. Let's go
- 21:38Speaker 1: to Vera in New York. Vera, how you doing?
- 21:42Speaker 8: How you doing?
- 21:42Speaker 10: First time caller.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Thanks for calling, Vera.
- 21:46Speaker 5: Okay, I was calling you about the balance of nature
- 21:48Speaker 5: promo code that you gave out.
- 21:50Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:50Speaker 6: I called them to try to get it, and they
- 21:53Speaker 6: wouldn't give it to me.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's for everybody. We don't want you to
- 21:56Speaker 1: have it. It's just you. They don't want you to
- 21:57Speaker 1: have it.
- 21:58Speaker 5: Well, no, they say the only way you can get
- 22:01Speaker 5: it is to subscribe.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Well, I think you have to have a subscription because
- 22:05Speaker 1: you've got to take it every month or every day.
- 22:07Speaker 1: But go to Balance of Nature. Go to balanceofnature.com, the website.
- 22:12Speaker 10: Yes, but I did that.
- 22:14Speaker 6: I'm just trying to explain to you, when you give
- 22:16Speaker 6: out the promo code, that's the part that's missing.
- 22:19Speaker 10: It doesn't mention subscription.
- 22:20Speaker 6: So when you go on, you know, I mean, if
- 22:24Speaker 6: I like it, I keep.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Oh, I think you can try it. I think you
- 22:28Speaker 1: can try it just once and then cancel the subscription.
- 22:32Speaker 5: Oh, that's a smart idea.
- 22:33Speaker 6: Thank you, sir. All right.
- 22:35Speaker 1: They do that all the time. Every product does that now.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Every news site, everything. Hey, you can have it now
- 22:42Speaker 1: at $ 9. And in the fine print, it says after that,
- 22:46Speaker 1: your subscription is $ 20 a month. So you have to
- 22:50Speaker 1: sign up for the subscription. And then cancel it if
- 22:52Speaker 1: you don't like it. But balance of nature, you're going
- 22:54Speaker 1: to love it. You're not going to cancel. Hey, when
- 22:56Speaker 1: we come back, plastic surgery. Everybody's got questions. Everybody's thinking
- 23:00Speaker 1: of plastic surgery. We've got the best plastic surgeon, Dr.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Arthur Perry. We'll ask him all the questions you want
- 23:07Speaker 1: to know about plastic surgery. Coming up next on 710WOR.
- 23:12Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Mark Simone Show. Live from the
- 23:15Speaker 1: WOR LifeVac studios. Well, here's one of the country's leading
- 23:22Speaker 1: plastic surgeons, Dr. Arthur Perry. You can go to his website, perryplasticsurgery.com.
- 23:28Speaker 1: And he also does a show here on WOR, Saturday
- 23:31Speaker 1: nights at 6. Everybody's got questions and things they want
- 23:34Speaker 1: to know about plastic surgery. So let's talk to him now. Dr.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Arthur Perry, how are you doing?
- 23:40Speaker 6: Mark, thanks so much for having me on the air.
- 23:43Speaker 6: But I noticed I'm not in studio today because you
- 23:46Speaker 6: didn't want those needles near you, right?
- 23:49Speaker 1: Him with the Botox. Listen, I know it's good for you.
- 23:54Speaker 1: It looks good, but I don't have the nerve. I
- 23:56Speaker 1: cry at a flu shot. I'm not getting Botox.
- 24:00Speaker 6: Mark, it's only a matter of time. Only a matter
- 24:02Speaker 6: of time until you give in and we're going to
- 24:04Speaker 6: do it. How have you been, Mark?
- 24:05Speaker 1: Good. Hey, tomorrow night on your show, do you have Dr.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Oz on with you tomorrow night?
- 24:10Speaker 5: I have.
- 24:11Speaker 9: Oh, my goodness.
- 24:11Speaker 6: I've been trying to get him for six months. Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 6: Mehmet Oz is going to be my guest tomorrow, 6 o'clock, Mark.
- 24:17Speaker 6: He is the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and
- 24:20Speaker 6: Medicaid now. I guess that puts him about number two
- 24:24Speaker 6: in the Department of HHS, and he is revolutionizing health
- 24:30Speaker 6: care as we speak. So he's coming on the show.
- 24:33Speaker 6: He's going to be live in the studio with me tomorrow.
- 24:34Speaker 6: Isn't that great?
- 24:35Speaker 1: Very good. So did you guys work together at some
- 24:38Speaker 1: point or something? Well, we wrote a book together.
- 24:41Speaker 6: And, you know, I was on his show 11 times,
- 24:45Speaker 6: and he's been on my show probably about the same.
- 24:48Speaker 1: And he.
- 24:50Speaker 6: Is one of the most talented people I've ever met,
- 24:53Speaker 6: smartest guy. A lot of people don't realize he actually
- 24:56Speaker 6: invented a heart valve, a mitral heart valve. He was
- 25:00Speaker 6: a cardiac surgeon for years. He has an MBA, an
- 25:04Speaker 6: MD degree. Of course, he has Emmy Awards. And besides that,
- 25:08Speaker 6: he was captain of the Harvard football team. Did you
- 25:10Speaker 6: know that? No.
- 25:11Speaker 1: He's kind of a skinny guy, captain of the football team.
- 25:15Speaker 6: He's a great guy. So I'm so happy to have
- 25:16Speaker 6: him on the show tomorrow. It'll be a wonderful show.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Very impressive. Wow. So, okay, that's tomorrow night at 6
- 25:22Speaker 1: here on WOR. Hey, I always ask you this. Well,
- 25:26Speaker 1: right now, right now, what's the most popular plastic surgery procedure?
- 25:30Speaker 6: Oh, this is facelift season. This is it, right? You
- 25:33Speaker 6: thought it was football season, Mark?
- 25:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:35Speaker 6: It's facelift season. We're doing a lot of them. I did.
- 25:39Speaker 6: You ready for this one? I did an 84-year-old woman yesterday, Mark.
- 25:44Speaker 6: And she's more with it than you and me.
- 25:47Speaker 1: No, I'm not. Okay, you.
- 25:50Speaker 6: And it's her third facelift, and she's vibrant and healthy.
- 25:55Speaker 6: And why not? She really wants to look good. But
- 25:58Speaker 6: it is facelift season right now. People wait. until after
- 26:01Speaker 6: summer to have their cosmetics removed because they don't want
- 26:03Speaker 6: to recover during the summer.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Well, why does she need the third one? Don't they
- 26:07Speaker 1: last for a while?
- 26:09Speaker 6: Yeah, they last anywhere from seven to ten years. But,
- 26:12Speaker 6: you know, when you're 84, it's time for the third one.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Okay, when you get the facelift, you take this here
- 26:19Speaker 1: and you shove it up there, and then what happens?
- 26:22Speaker 1: For like two weeks, you can't go out?
- 26:25Speaker 6: Yeah, you have to hide for two weeks. You really do.
- 26:27Speaker 6: So you feel okay. It's not a painful procedure. Honestly,
- 26:31Speaker 6: on a scale of one to 10, it's a one
- 26:33Speaker 6: to two.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Really? But you look terrible.
- 26:35Speaker 6: You look like you went five rounds with Mike Tyson
- 26:37Speaker 6: for about almost two weeks. So you hide, and then
- 26:41Speaker 6: you come out, and you look good. And it continues
- 26:46Speaker 6: to improve over the course of a couple months, looks
- 26:49Speaker 6: better and better, and then it's yours. And the younger
- 26:51Speaker 6: you are, Mark, by the way, when you have a facelift,
- 26:54Speaker 6: the longer it will last. So if you have one
- 26:56Speaker 6: when you're 50, let's say, it'll last maybe 12 years,
- 27:01Speaker 6: more than that. If you have one at 70, it'll
- 27:04Speaker 6: last like seven years or so, something like that.
- 27:06Speaker 1: So you've got to stay in for two weeks, but
- 27:07Speaker 1: you have to sit there and put ice on all
- 27:08Speaker 1: day for two weeks?
- 27:10Speaker 6: Well, no, we used to use ice. Too many frostbite injuries.
- 27:13Speaker 6: No ice necessary. You just kind of chill out. No
- 27:17Speaker 6: pun intended there. And, you know, no activity, no sports.
- 27:21Speaker 6: But you're in your house watching TV, reading, and just
- 27:26Speaker 6: letting nature take its course. It's a pretty easy recovery.
- 27:29Speaker 6: It really is.
- 27:30Speaker 1: So, in other words, you guys just sit at home
- 27:31Speaker 1: and watch TV all day. That's pretty good. I like that.
- 27:34Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, and when the pizza delivery guy comes,
- 27:38Speaker 6: you tell him to just leave it there. You'll slide
- 27:40Speaker 6: the money under the door.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 27:42Speaker 6: You don't go to that.
- 27:44Speaker 1: So what plastic surgery is not so popular anymore, fading away?
- 27:49Speaker 6: You know, it's interesting. So every year, the National Society
- 27:53Speaker 6: that represents most of us plastic surgeons, they put out
- 27:55Speaker 6: their statistics, and they put them out last week. And
- 27:58Speaker 6: the usual procedures are the most popular liposuction, you know,
- 28:02Speaker 6: fat suction and breast augmentation. But it is interesting. I
- 28:06Speaker 6: always like to see, you know, what's losing popularity. And,
- 28:10Speaker 6: you know, those resilient butt lifts that we've talked about
- 28:13Speaker 6: in the past. Yeah, they are going away. And for
- 28:16Speaker 6: good reason, they're deadly procedures. There's hundreds and hundreds of
- 28:19Speaker 6: people have died from that procedure. So last year. Yeah,
- 28:23Speaker 6: they were down 5% last year, continuing the trend. The
- 28:26Speaker 6: last three years, they've been down, down, down. That's good.
- 28:30Speaker 6: But also, this one I can't figure out, Mark. Male
- 28:33Speaker 6: breast reduction. It's called gynecomastia. That's when men grow breasts.
- 28:40Speaker 6: It's actually increased in incidence because of all the marijuana use.
- 28:47Speaker 6: Marijuana smokers develop breasts. Really interesting.
- 28:50Speaker 1: You're kidding.
- 28:50Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 28:51Speaker 6: But for some reason, I don't understand this, the procedures
- 28:55Speaker 6: declined by 8% last year. They went down. Now, I'm
- 28:59Speaker 6: going to predict. I'm going to predict they're going to
- 29:01Speaker 6: be way up next year. You know, we have these
- 29:03Speaker 6: year-to-year blips. But with, you know, you only have to
- 29:06Speaker 6: walk down, you know, the Upper West Side to smell
- 29:09Speaker 6: all the marijuana, right, Mark? You know, it's there. So
- 29:12Speaker 6: men are going to be growing breasts. It's the number
- 29:15Speaker 6: one drug that causes male breast growth. now so what
- 29:20Speaker 6: about if women go out and use it will that
- 29:22Speaker 6: increase their breasts yeah yeah so uh so so when
- 29:27Speaker 6: they're uh you know they have to have that warning
- 29:29Speaker 6: now now they really should they should have it in
- 29:31Speaker 6: the uh you know like smokers warnings yeah you know
- 29:33Speaker 6: marijuana warrants yeah this will increase breast size.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Well among women you might have just sold a lot
- 29:40Speaker 1: of marijuana.
- 29:42Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I'm not sure it increases women's breast size,
- 29:46Speaker 6: but yeah. Well, there's all sorts of information about marijuana,
- 29:51Speaker 6: but that's another show that's happened. So those are the
- 29:55Speaker 6: procedures that kind of declined. But liposuction, that's fat removal. Mark,
- 30:01Speaker 6: that is the number one procedure for good reason. In
- 30:04Speaker 6: about an hour, I can suction five, six, seven pounds
- 30:08Speaker 6: of fat. And despite all those GLP drugs like Ozempic
- 30:12Speaker 6: and Zetbound, that fat that's still on your hips after
- 30:16Speaker 6: you've lost the weight, nothing or in your neck.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:19Speaker 6: That's what I need. A little suction out of my neck. Yeah. That,
- 30:23Speaker 6: that stays even after weight loss and that's where liposuction
- 30:27Speaker 6: comes in.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Hey, we're talking with Dr. Arthur Perry. You can go
- 30:29Speaker 1: to his website, perryplasticsurgery.com. You can listen to him on
- 30:33Speaker 1: WOR Saturday nights, six o'clock. Hey, sometimes you see this
- 30:38Speaker 1: bad plastic surgery, these Boca Raton plastic surgery or some,
- 30:42Speaker 1: some parts along. Now you see some really bad plastic surgery. It's,
- 30:45Speaker 1: Is that stuff fixable? Could somebody fix that? Oh, yeah.
- 30:49Speaker 6: I do a lot of revisionary surgery. Fortunately, not my
- 30:53Speaker 6: first cases. But this past week, I saw a woman
- 30:57Speaker 6: who had a breast augmentation 24 years ago, and she
- 31:00Speaker 6: lived with a terrible deformity. You know, her implants were
- 31:05Speaker 6: in one area of her chest, and her breasts kind
- 31:07Speaker 6: of drooped over them. And, yes, so it's more complicated
- 31:11Speaker 6: to fix these things. But I enjoy that kind of
- 31:13Speaker 6: surgery because... Here we remove the implants, put in new models,
- 31:17Speaker 6: you know, get the new models, Mark. There are some
- 31:20Speaker 6: technical advances.
- 31:22Speaker 1: In breast augmentation.
- 31:23Speaker 6: And then do a breast lift so we can make
- 31:25Speaker 6: breasts look significantly better, even if they've been not so
- 31:31Speaker 6: nicely augmented with breast implants. Very common. But surgery, you know,
- 31:38Speaker 6: we call it secondary surgery or redo surgery, always more
- 31:41Speaker 6: difficult than the first one. There's scar tissue to contend with. And,
- 31:46Speaker 6: you know, other issues that make that surgery more difficult.
- 31:50Speaker 6: But it's challenging and it's really, it's very rewarding for
- 31:54Speaker 6: me because people are just stressed when they've had bad
- 31:57Speaker 6: plastic surgery. And they come in and we fix it
- 32:01Speaker 6: and they're so happy. Those are the happiest patients.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 32:04Speaker 1: And there are some people who get too much plastic surgery, right?
- 32:07Speaker 1: Just say to them, you've had enough. Stop for a while. Yes.
- 32:11Speaker 6: And plastic surgeons need to know when to say no.
- 32:14Speaker 6: And most good plastic surgeons will turn people down if
- 32:18Speaker 6: they've had too much or they're not good psychological candidates.
- 32:21Speaker 6: But we all know there are plastic surgeons that are
- 32:23Speaker 6: willing to do anything, Mark, like take out ribs to
- 32:26Speaker 6: make waist smaller. Have you heard of that one?
- 32:29Speaker 1: No.
- 32:31Speaker 6: It's incredible. I think one of the Kardashians did that.
- 32:34Speaker 6: And God gave us ribs for a pretty good reason.
- 32:38Speaker 6: They protect our heart. I They protect our lungs. They
- 32:41Speaker 6: protect our liver. And when you take those out for
- 32:44Speaker 6: cosmetic reasons, there's one word I say. It's called stupid.
- 32:48Speaker 6: It's just stupid. But people are doing it. And plastic
- 32:53Speaker 6: surgeons are willing to take people's money and do the
- 32:56Speaker 6: operation that they want, even if it's not the best one, unfortunately.
- 33:01Speaker 6: Most won't, but there are always some.
- 33:03Speaker 1: You want a great plastic surgeon, you go to Dr.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Arthur Perry. His website is perryplasticsurgery.com. Perryplasticsurgery.com. And he has
- 33:12Speaker 1: his own show here on WOR, Saturday nights at 6.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Saturday night at 6. In fact, tomorrow night is the
