• 2:35
  Speaker 2: You don't need to get Odjeda listening to all of them. Hey,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: look in talk radio, you have a lot of eccentric characters.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I've certainly worked with them. I've certainly been called eccentric myself.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I've had my ups, my downs, but I think almost
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: all of them are well known to people. But sometimes
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: when you have an anger management issue, there are substances
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: out there that can keep that in check. Hey, look,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: it's healthy, it's healthy. Let's go if we can to John,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: who's calling from Staten Island. Your turn to be heard
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: here at seven to ten W John.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Hey, Curtis, I'm so happy to hear you back on
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: the radio. We've met a few times, so I'm so
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: happy to be talking to here. WABC is definitely a
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: dysfunctional family dominic. Carter shows up to work grumpy every
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: single day. Lionel screams into the microphone. Sid Rosenberg only
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: cares about himself to He's me me, Me Me Me,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I am grey uh and Greg Kelly. He takes calls
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: from wack o people who sent him books and they
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: wrote down a name to the wrong wrong people. Like
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: what kind of operation to they got going on over that?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It looks John, John, that's their thing. If you're not
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: happy with their broadcast, now you have a place to
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: come to. Maybe I was the sheepherder, and you were
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: sheep for many years and that's all you listen to. Well,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: now you have an opportunity to come on over and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: graze on this talk radio field. Maybe my substituting for
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Mark Simon will encourage more people to do that. I
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: would suggest now that we're in the age of social networking,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: text it out, email it out, phone it out, get
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the word out. You don't have to listen to that
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: any longer. And more choices, And this is my choice.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: So I know for many of you who followed me
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: in talk radio for what it will be thirty six
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: years in January, you're welcome on over. Listen to seven
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to ten wor as much as is humanly possible. And remember,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: unlike years years ago where it was live and local,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that's it. If you missed the broadcast, you couldn't recover it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Remember the great Bob Grant, nobody better King of Tark
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Radio would do his opening monologue. You could never recapture that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: The whole Tri state area would stop to listen to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: that opening monologue at three. Now, if you missed the program,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you can catch it on podcasts. See that's something that
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: never occurred before. Let's go if we can to uh Vic, Well,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I believe he's calling from Pennsylvania. Your turn to be
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: heard here at seven to ten, w or Vic.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Great to hear you, Curtis, Curtis, I want to tell
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: you a quick story. You know, I used to listen
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: to Sid and if it wasn't for Bernie's he would
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: be nothing. But what a phoney.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: The biggest phone he could be.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Well, they're all phonies there, but he seems to be
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: the biggest. Talk about ego, you know what I mean.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: And at one point I called up when they were
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: taking calls, he stopped taking calls to let him know
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: he had bad now Trump and guess what he said,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Oh that's not true. I never bad. No Trump a
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: big liar. But man, could you imagine being in a
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: foxhol with any of these guys. I can't imagine it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, I tell you. I tell you one
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: thing straight up. It was a much better show when
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Bernard McGirk was with him, because it was ike, the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: ying and the yang. Because when it's just said, it's I, I,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: me and me, it's all about said. Look. I think
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: he said this himself many times. He has low self esteem.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: He's paranoid, rotic. Look a lot of people in talker
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: ideo that's the case. But Bernard was the ying to
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: his yang. Bernard was given an opportunity to do a
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: program at WABC when I miss clearly was in his
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: latter years. Without Bernard McGirk, Imus could not function. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: was in the broadcast studio. I saw how Bernie would
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: feed him lines. Bernie read the books, wasn't Imus, And
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: towards the end of Imus's career, it was so obvious,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: but it was Bernard mcgirk's wish to have his own show.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: You know, Imus didn't want that. Oh no, oh no,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the show following Imus in the morning. Bernard McGirk said,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: it should be my opportunity. And he was right after
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: all those years, and he said, if you can only
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: bring Sid Rosenberg up from Florida. He had just been
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: fired I think for like the third or fourth time.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Not they's wrong with that. That's how you know how
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: long you've been in talk radio, how many times you've
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: been fired. But he was not on the radio. Bernie said,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I want Sid to be with me. And I remember
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: going down Hollywood, Florida at the hard Rock We had
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a Guardian into conference of the Floridian Guardian Angels, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I told the general manager there I would go down
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and just do a little background check on city. It
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: had some problems, and I talked to a lot of
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: people down there. They said, oh, no, no, no. His
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: days of gallimantin cavorting getting into trouble, which he's admitted,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: is over. He's on the straight and arrow. I came back,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I gave the report. I remember walking into the office
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: of Chad Lopez. He had on his desk a contract
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to hire Mike Lupeka, the great sports writer for the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Daily News, but horrible on the radio ESPN. You know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: just it's not his medium. I said, you can't do that,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: you can't sign that. That'll destroy WABC. I said, come on,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: do this for Bernard McGirk. He's never asked for anything
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: other than that, And that's what happened. They got that opportunity,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: uh mid Morning and then eventually the Morning Show. And
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: it's unfortunate that Bernard McGirk is no longer with us
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: because that was the ying to Sid Yang, that was
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: his wingman. Sid was Bernard's wingman, and Bernard was certainly
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: sid Rosenberg's wingman in Godfather reference. When you talk about
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Sid Rosenberg, think of Tessio.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah,
