• 0:10
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Doing good? I was down in Massey's district last week
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: because one of those Pizza Hut locations is right across
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: the river from downtown Cincinnati, and it's actually one franchisee
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: with those eighty locations. He had to get permission from
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: corporate to revert back to the old, you know, restaurant
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: style concepts.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So and was it crowded? Was it busy? Did people
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: love it?
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was maybe like forty to fifty you know
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: parties in the rest. It was about seven o'clock at
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: night at a time. And yeah, I mean it'll be
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: the seat remains to be seen if other franchisees within
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Pizza Hut will adopt the concept, because, like I say,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: it's just one guy, and.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a test r All right, good point, Greg,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: But remember it's usually the local franchisee that comes up
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: with everything. You know, McDonald's spends a fortune every year
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: research and development. They've got a test kitchen where they
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: try to come up with things. In about fifty years
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: they never came up with anything that worked. In fact,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: everything they came up with it was a disaster, like
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the McLean or the McRib or that sort of stuff.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It was the local franchises that a local franchise guy
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: came up with the Big Mac, a local franchise gate
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: guy came up with the fish sandwich. Every great thing
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: invented by a franchise. Hey, by the way, try the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Big Arch. That's their new big juicy burger. Very good.

  Speaker 5: and he had to be rushed to the hospital because
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: he had an appendicitis attack.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Oh well, that's terrible. We don't want to see that

  Speaker 1: to Paul in white Stone, Paul, how you doing?
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Hey, Mark Brooklyn, congresswoman of that clock, had a very
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: memorable experience on Colbert one time, and I hope he
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: brings her back for the last show. They were talking
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: about when Brooklyn joined the City of New York in
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: eighteen ninety eight, and he said, if you could go
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: back to that time, what would you say to your constituents.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: She said, let my people go? And people left. And
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: Colbert said what people? She said, the slaves. Colbert said,
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: there were slaves in Brooklyn in eighteen ninety eight. She
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: said yeah. He said who was holding them in slavery?
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: She said the Dutch. So she thought the Dutch controlled
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Brooklyn in eighteen ninety eight, I still had slaves. Complete.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a good thing about being a Democrat, or
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: having Trump arrangement syndrome. Whatever you heard on Morning Shoe
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: good enough for me. I'll repeat it. I'll just repeat it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: From the Russia hoax to all that crap. Well, let's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: go to Jim in New Jersey, Jim, how you doing?
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Adler was the second richest man in the world at
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: one time. Who was who was Henry Flagler? Flagler, Florida.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Everything in pond what he named after Flagler. Wait, Slow down,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: slow down, Take a breath, Take a breath, relaxed, calm down,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: slow the mark.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: What he did was incredible to turn in the last century.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: He built a railroad from Miami to Key West. It
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: took him thirteen years he lived to see it completed,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: and it was great. You could take the train from
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: New York to Key West. Unfortunately, by the time the
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: third the automobile was coming around, so nobody was taking
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: the train. And the final coup de katar. You can
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: see it in that great movie Key Largo with Bogart
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Edward g Robinson. There's a scene where Nald Barrymore is
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: scaring Edward g Robinson because her hurricane is hitting the hotel,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: and he describes the Labor Day Hurricane in nineteen thirty five,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: which was the most powerful hurricane that ever hit the
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: United States.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: You were just filmed relief information, pretty good relief. All right, Well,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling problem with that train. As you end
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: up in Key West, I guess that's okay down there
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in Key West, but it's a scary drive. You go
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: over that bridge that's over the water for like Miles
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: very scary. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you doing.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Good morning Mark, Good morning Mara. Speaking about when Brooklyn
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: was its own city about fifty years ago, I dated
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a girl who was living in the Brooklyn in the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: house of the Brooklyn Mayor. Quite a mansion. Well, anyway,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: speaking about nostalgia, Mark, last year, when I was in Italy,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I'm in an area that's touristy, and these two Japanese
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: kids come up to me, and I said, what's this
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: all about? They come up to me and aison look
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: at maybe eighteen nineteen, and they had a modern polaroid
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: camera in there and it was like candy apple, lime,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: green and white. It was all made out of plastic.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And they said to me, could you take a picture
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: of us? And they had iPhones hanging from their wrist.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: That I'm saying, well, you know, that's another part of
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: this nostalgia trend they started bringing. They brought back polaroid
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: cameras a few years ago. A lot of kids are
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: using now. The only advantage of the polaroid camera you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: might want to take note of this is if you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: need to take a picture and you don't want it digital,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: because if it's on your phone, it's there forever and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: if you want to hand the picture to somebody that way,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it was never transmitted digitally, nobody can find a trace
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: of it might be useful for you.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And another thing mark in Rome, what they discovered in
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the tourist area where all the tourist restaurants they actually
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: went back to, as you said, the red and white
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: gingham table clad with the Kianti bottle, with the candle
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: in the middle, because the people from the Midwest, in
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: their mind's eye, that's what they imagine the Roman restaurants
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: is with the red and white check and table cloth
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and with the Kiante bottle. The last time I went
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: to a restaurant like that in New York, I remember
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it was in the village on off of Fort Street
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and sixth Avenue. It was next to the Waverley. It
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: was called Emilio Skylight Gardens. That had to be maybe
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: even almost close to sixty.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Yards I know, but those were great, those that kind
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of place Don Draper would go, that's what you want.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the food was good.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Vincent, thanks for calling. Great call. It's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: like going to Jimmy Weston's or Jilly's are one of
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: those places. Oh, when we come back and Colter we'll
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: be with us next. Lots to talk to her about
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: coming up on seven to ten wor
