  Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to the Bonus Segment for all of our
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: great podcast listeners out there. Thanks for being with us
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: every week and listening to the Bonus segment. You know,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: all you hear about is all these people moving to Florida,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: especially older people. They're moving to Florida. Everybody's leaving New York.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Everybody's moving to Florida. Well, if you look at the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: actual data, people are moving to New York like crazy.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: There's a shortage of rental apartments right now. And even
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: when it comes to condos co ops, especially even the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: high end, there's just as many closings and contracts being
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: signed in apartments being sold as ever. And the rental
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: market that rental markets, that's usually the new people coming
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to town. People move here, they will rent for a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: year and then buy a place. But the rental market
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: is through the roof. You can't rent an apartment right
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: now in New York. There's very little inventory left. People
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: are moving here. And look at this big article New
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: York Times. Forget Florida. People are getting older and moving
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: back to New York from Florida. The New York Times
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: here a growing number of older transplants down in Florida,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: older ones are undeterred by the city's high costs and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: are coming back. Now. There's a number of reasons. In
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, for instance, now listen to this, fifteen
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: thousand people aged sixty five and up moved back to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: New York City, a forty percent increase from a few
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: years before. Older New York transplants came back for a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: number of reasons. One, and this is a big reason,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: much better medical care in New York. That's one big
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: problem down there in Florida. The medical care. The doctors
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: aren't as good as New York. They're okay, but nowhere
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: near New York standards. Now they're trying to correct that.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: The big real estate developers building all those skyscrapers and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: all that stuff have been trying to get better doctors
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: down there. They got the Cleveland Clinic to open a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: big place down there. They're trying to get the Male
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Clinic to open something down there. But for real serious
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: medical but you've got to come back to New York.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So that's one reason people are moving back. The other
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: reason they're coming back they want to be near their grandchildren.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: They like the convenience of not having a car. You know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you go down to Florida, you gotta suddenly you're driving everywhere.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: A car can be a headache. They love coming back
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to New York, not needing a car. They also come
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: back because there's a lot more here going on, museums, shows, restaurants,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: stuff you don't get anywhere else. And actually, according to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: this New York Times study, the people coming back are
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: outnumbering the people that are leaving right now. Now this
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: could change with Mom, Donnie and all of that. And
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the people coming back tend to have a lot of money,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of money if I've can afford to live
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in New York. So that's good news. Hey. There was
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a study of late night TV by these MRC, which
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is NewsBusters, great way website, MRC Media Research Center, NewsBusters,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: they do these great studies. Take a look at it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: But they studied all the late night shows and the jokes.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: How many of them were against Republicans? How many of
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: them were against Democrats? Well, none of them. They were
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: all against Republicans. A wopping ninety five percent of the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: jokes delivered by late night hosts during the first week
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of the war. Friends has just slammed the war slammed
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the United States. This is pretty interesting. Instead of making
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: fun of Iran, ninety five percent of the jokes made
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: fun of the US. This is in the Iran War,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the most brutal, awful, evil dictatorship on the face of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the earth, and ninety five percent of Kimmel's jokes and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Colbert's jokes, even Jimmy fallon making fun of the US
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in this unbelievable the ridiculous partisan slant of the late
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: night hosts. And who was it? Was it Vince Vaughn
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: earlier this week that I just can't watch these shows anymore.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Late night shows were supposed to be entertainment. I don't
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: want to be yelled at. I don't want to be scolded.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be lectured. That's not the purpose
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of late night TV. I don't want to watch an
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: angry host unload on me. Hey, are you one of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: those people that you start to eat the same thing
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: every day? A lot of people do that. They'll have
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the same and most people have the same breakfast every day.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But there's a lot of people, including me, sometimes they'll
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: have the same lunch every day. Every day. You'll eat
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the same exact lunch and I do that, but then
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you change every year. After four months, you get bored,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you switch to something else. But then you have that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: every day, and then some people tend to have the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: same thing for dinner every night. There are people that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: do that. They just eat the same thing every day. Now,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: big new study out here Journal of Health shows that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that is a good key to weight loss. You can
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: actually lose weight by eating the same thing every day.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Tends to control the calories. You know, most of these
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: studies and all those things, they should have a very
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: diverse diet and all it well. Problem with a diverse diet,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you tend to get more calories, you tend to eat more.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: People that eat the same thing every day lost an
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: average of five point nine percent of their body weight,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: while the people that eat diverse menus only lost four
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: point three percent. It is actually healthier to eat the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: same thing every day, assuming it's something kind of healthy there.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You know, really smart people, especially billionaires, zillionaires, really smart
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: people wear the same thing every day. They eat the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: same thing every day. Remember Steve Jobs, every day he
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: wore that same mock turtleneck and the same pants. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in fact that the little short mock turtleneck that Steve
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Jobs wore. He liked that because it was the uniform
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that they wore at the Sony factory in Japan, the workers,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and he admired Sony. Sony was like his idol. He
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: copied Sony when he created Apple. So he found out
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: who made those mock turtlecks. He called the company and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: he said, I want to get one of those couple
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of those turtlenecks. And they said, well, we're a uniform company.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: You can't buy a couple of minimum mortars like two
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty. He said, okay, I'll take two hundred
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and fifty, and he bought two hundred and fifty of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: those turtle necks and wore them for the rest of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: his life. There are a lot of guys that do that.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Look at Donald Trump. It's not the same suit every day,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: but basically he has like twenty five suits that all
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: look the same and a million white shirts. Always a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: white shirt. He'll switch the color of the tie. It's
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: mostly red. Some days it'll be a blue tie. Once
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in a while, yellow tie. But it's basically the same
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: outfit every day. You know, those black shiny shoes he
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: wears they're actually made by floor shine, believe it or not. Yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five dollars floor shins. But they
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: got like a permanent shine on them. But he has
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like fifty pairs of those shoes. There's a twenty in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: New York, twenty in the White House. There's a bunch
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of them at mar A Lago. It's the same thing
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: every day, And one reason billionaire geniuses do that. They
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: don't want to waste any time on silly decisions like
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: what to wear in the morning or what to have
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: for lunch, so they just do the same thing every day.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Gets rid of those crazy decisions. A speaking to President Trump,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: he's always redoing the White House every little thing he
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: can think of. You know, there's that walkway that goes
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: from the residence to the Oval office. That's the one
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: where President Trump put all those portraits of the presidents,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: all forty seven presidents lined up in those gold frames.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And when you come to the Biden one, it's a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: picture of the auto pen. But that's the walkway. When
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you leave, you come down you're in the residence in
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the White House, you come downstairs and you go down
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that walkway that takes you to the Oval Office. But
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the President, being the builder in chief, brilliant builder. Every time,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you know, he looks down, he sees something else. And
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: he didn't like the floor on that walkway. It was
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: gray pavement. So he's just having it replaced now with
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: black granite. It looks even better. You know. It's one
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: good thing about having the top builder in the world
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: move in. You're gonna get everything fixed inch by inch
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: by inch. He's fixing everything in the White House the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: black grant. It will make a lot better. He fixed
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the the rose garden up. But that that pathway with
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the with the portraits, now it's got the black green.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: They call it the forty five second commute. Forty five
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: second commute was originally built for Thomas Jefferson as a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: covered area alongside the White House, but every present does it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: It's a famous forty five second commute. You know, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: he's making making a new movie Conan the Barbarian, the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: sequel of five hundred years Later, and Schwarzenegger is now
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: seventy eight, you know, The Barbarian at seventy eight. But
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger is not slowing down. In fact, he's been heading
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to the gym every day for Conan the Barbarian preparing.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: He's reportedly pushing himself harder than ever, determined to return
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to peak physical shape. The original film was nineteen eighty two.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Awlong goes it's like forty four years ago. He was
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: thirty four. Then. The project, dubbed King Conan has been
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in the works for decades. We'll focus on an older
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: version of the warrior who must fight once more. Is
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that a fair fight a seventy eight year old guy.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I know he's been to the gym a lot, but
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: he's seventy eight. Conan the Barbarian should just call it
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: actually Conan O'Brien or something. But hey, Rachel Maddow, have
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you been watching hers just crying and crying and crying
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: about ever since the death of Robert Muller. And you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people you can't make fun of Muller.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Muller's a war hero. Why he's got a purple heart,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: he's got a bronze star. All true, great great war
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: hero and then a great public servant for years. But
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the last ten twelve years it became a dirty cop,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that's all. He was a dirty cop because in the end,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: there was no Russian collusion. That's the whole point. He
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: had the dirtiest, dirtiest cops with him, Andrew Weissman, these
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: vicious hitmen, dirty cops, and boy, if anybody could find
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: anything those guys, that Weisman is smart, and in the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: end they found nothing, No Russian collusion, no Russian connection
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to Trump. Nothing. So she's been arguing because if you
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: hear them moan about it, so, yeah, but there was
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: nothing there. Turned out there was nothing there. Well, she argues,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that's not the case. He was blindsided by William Barr.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: He thought Barr was a good guy and would be
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: a straight shooter. But she says, William Barr absolutely buried
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: him in terms of in terms of the impact of
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that report. Yes, and William Barr nice guy. He didn't
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: look like any great master genius, machiavellian. It's William Barr.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He's just, you know, a befuddled little swamp guy. So
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a kind of insane for her to make those kind
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of ridiculous excuses for Robert Muller, But it's a tribute
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to Trump. They can't even think of a good excuse. Hey,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: CNN is laying off a lot of staffers. This coming week,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the CNN president deep deep cuts looming. They're getting ready
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: for the merger Warner Brothers. They got a three thousand
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: member workforce, three thousand people, so expect ten twenty percent layoffs.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: The cuts are expected to hit rolls not tied to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: growth areas. I didn't know that had a growth area.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I guess they're talking about digital. They're also finally admitting
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they're going to have to kind of get out of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the cable business, that the future is all digital. Hey,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the OSCARS didn't do so well this year.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Ratings were down. The OSCARS is moving to YouTube in
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight or to twenty twenty nine. One hundredth
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: anniversary show. One hundredth anniversary be twenty twenty eight. That'll
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be on ABC. That'll be the final one. Then it
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: goes to utube I think ten years. They signed a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: ten year deal to be on YouTube. And then when
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it goes to YouTube, they're gonna move out of that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: beautiful Hollywood theater, the Dolby Theater. They're moving out of
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that and they're moving to downtown, LA. So it's gonna
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: be a more downtown sort of an Oscar ceremony, leaving Hollywood,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: going downtown AEG, which is the big conglomerate that has
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the rights to it. Now, they're building a twenty three acre,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: four million square foot sports entertainment district and it's gonna
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: have the Peacock Theater. They're gonna move it in there,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and there's a whole campus that surrounds it. They'll do
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the red carpet and all that stuff there. Hey Bill Cosby,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you know, he's out of jail, but he's getting the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: sued like crazy. And over the last few years he's
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: paid out millions and lawsuits for these women. But he
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: just lost another big one, many millions, and he claims
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: he's broke, doesn't have any money, can't pay it. But
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of sources to Cosby. You know, he's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: eighty eight, eighty eight years old. Sources close to Cosby
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: says networth is actually one hundred and twenty eight million.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Still has one of the largest art collections in the world,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: has massive mansions and estates. You know, he just sold
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: in a state. He has a bunch of houses in Manhattan,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: sold one for twenty eight million, just sold a commercial
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: business for twelve million, but he's got massive, massive, massive
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: estates in Massachusetts, in Philadelphia. The Massachusetts one has hundreds
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: of acres, but they're all in his wife's name, so
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you can assume them all you want, but they're in
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: his wife's name, you can't touch them. Sad sad ending
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: for Cosby. Hey, we're out of time, but this has
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: been the bonus segment. Otherwise, you can hear me Monday
