  Speaker 2: Um I'm one of Vincent's titans from Sicily.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: You're one of what?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I'm calling about the titans. I'm just saying that my
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: family came from Sicily.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not from ICE. We're not customs.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Listen, I'm calling about the ads, the Lamont ads currently out.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Does anybody understand this guy? Do you realize you sound
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: like you're in a tunnel? You're 5,000 miles away from
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the phone.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I'm in the truck, Bart. I'm still working.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I know, but we can't really hear this. It's not
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: going to be clear enough to hear.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I'll try it again.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, listen. Lamont's got an ad that shows a creature
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: from Norwalk.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We can't understand you. You're too far away from the phone.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: But I heard the word Lamont, so I think he
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: says Connecticut. I think he's talking about Ned Lamont, who's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the governor of Connecticut. Two terms now. He's running for
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a third term. If you're in Connecticut, you don't want
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to vote for this guy again. He's a nice guy.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And he's had some good moments as governor, but a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: lot of bad stuff, too. And he's going kind of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a woke left wing lately. The problem is you never
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: want anybody to have a third term. Third terms never
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: work out. Also, again, he's going too woke, too left wing.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You got a good Republican candidate there. His name is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Ryan Fazio. Ryan Fazio, who I see him running a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: lot of TV commercials here. which is good, which is good.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: That means he's got some money to spend. Ryan Fazio,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: vote for him. He's the Republican for Connecticut governor. Although
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I noticed he's running a lot of TV commercials and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: not enough social media. TV commercials are great. If this
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: is 1998, you need to be a little more social media.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Get that going. But you've had enough of Lamont. Hey,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: so if you want to call, it's 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Carnegie Deli opens today at 11 a.m. What time is it? 1026.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: All right. We'll see. Check it out on social media.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They're trying to become an Instagram sensation.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: If you do that in a bakery, restaurant, whatever, you
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: can have lines around the block. Lines everywhere. But if
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you're a deli with pastrami and corned beef, I don't
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: know if that's going to work so much. Because that
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Instagram phenomenon tends to be for younger people. But we'll see.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: They've added a black and white cookie. They didn't do
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that before. They got all the usual, you know, the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: great cheesecake and all that stuff. But they've added a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: black and white cookie. They're pushing that. So maybe that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: will become a big sensation. Hey, by the way, if
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you're a big black and white cookie fan, there's somebody
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: on Instagram. Actually, it's not just somebody. It's a big
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: food group. They're real food experts. They got all the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: top black and white cookies in the city and brought
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: them into a room, and they did a blind taste
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: test with like 12 food critics. Who would have the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: best black and white cookie in the city? William Greenberg Bakery? Well, yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: they did okay. No, the winner, believe it or not,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Barney Greengrass. Barney Greengrass, that legendary place on the Upper
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: West Side, won for best black and white cookie in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the city. Let's go to Al in Parsippany. Al, how
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Hello, how are you, Mr.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Simone?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Good. I have a question for President Trump.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Why are you being so civilized at this point in
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the game?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll ask him. I don't think he's ever...
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump accused of being too civilized? I don't think
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that's ever happened, but... Okay, I think he's talking about Iran. Yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He just might be stalling till the midterms.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Or.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Or he's luring them into some kind of trap. You
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: never know with him. He's always, always, always, it's a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: 3D chess. You never know where he's going. Let's go to, uh,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Bill in Wildwood. Bill, how you doing?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, Bill.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I want, uh, Mark, why don't the Saudis sign
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: the Abraham Accords and join in the fight against Iran
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: instead of calling us up?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they are cooperating to a certain extent. You're right.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: They got to do a little more. Uh, I don't
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: know what the relationship is there. The Saudis, you can never, ever, ever, ever,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: ever completely trust them. But they've been a little helpful.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But obviously the president not too thrilled with them because
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: he's about to release those 9-11 files, which they're not
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: going to be happy about. Let's go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: how are you doing? Wait a minute.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Got to push the button.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, Bill.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Do you hear me?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now we can hear you. Okay. Carnegie Deli.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've never been there, but I know you
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: talk about it a lot, but is it better than
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Katz Deli? I've been to Katz Deli twice.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: And I love it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Well, the old Carnegie was much better than Katz's. This
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: is the new Carnegie. It's coming back, not with the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: original people, but the granddaughter of one of the original guys,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: so we don't know for sure. I mean, I've seen
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the new.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Sandwiches and pictures, they look like the same, but we'll
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: see if it's exactly the same. You know, sometimes they
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: get a little cheaper. What did you think of Katz's?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Did you ever see anything like that before in your life? Oh,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I love Katz's.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I used to sell cars, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I sold the owners a couple of different BMWs in
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: the past, and I've always gone there, and I always
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: thought it was a great deli.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's very good. Carnegie was different. Katz's was
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: always just a big tourist place. The Carnegie, they got tourists,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: but it was mostly... real New Yorkers, and it was
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: in its heyday, no longer, and not for the last
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: few years, but in its heyday, 80s, 90s, it was
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of celebrities, a lot of famous people were
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in there all the time. And the front table, the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: front table was where all the comedians and the people
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: in show business all sat, and especially late at night,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: after everybody got done with their show, there's no shows anymore,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I mean live shows, but in the good old days,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: there were nightclubs, there was Michael's Pub, there was the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: What else was there? I can't even remember. Rainbow and Stars.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: There were all kinds of places. But you'd get there
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: about midnight. Believe it or not, you'd get to the Carnegie,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: maybe 1130, but usually about midnight. I used to do
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this every night, 80s, 90s. And you sit at the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: front table and everybody appearing in New York would come
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: in and sit there. I used to go there with
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: George Carlin, with a lot of great comedians. If you
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: watch the movie, Broadway Danny Rose. They recreated all of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that in that movie. The whole thing takes place in
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the Carnegie Deli. And you'll see the comedian's table up front.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: But it reopens today at 11. I'll give you a report.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Check my Instagram. Maybe I'll put stuff up there. Go
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: over there and get some video or something. Let's go
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to Jack in Massachusetts. Jack, how are you doing? Good morning, Mark. Yes, Jack.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I just went by your old school at Kenmore Square
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: from 40 years ago.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: 40 years ago? I didn't go to school in Kenmore Square.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Well, then you go to Emerson?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Emerson, yes. Let me translate for people here. It's Emerson,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and what he's saying is 40 years ago. Well, people
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: don't know what 40 years ago is. You make me homesick.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: You call me Mark.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: All right, Mark.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Mark.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Listen, Mark, I got to tell you something. You know
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: what you need? You need more. interesting guest on. You
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: have Ann Coulter and you have Ed Rollins on so much.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: We need more hot, hot, hot.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you. If you're looking
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for a second career, if you're looking for a second career,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think radio consulting would be for you.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do a New York accent, Mark. We need,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: we need Newt Gingrich on. We need Josh Hawley on.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: You have all these.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't have politicians on.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: That's one rule.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, no problem.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Also, I got a question for you. When you first
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: started the new gig.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: All exception, Bruce Blakeman.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: How come you never mentioned that you're not going to
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: be working Friday, Johnny Carson?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I do work Fridays.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: No, a lot of you Fridays you haven't been on.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's just in August.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: That's what?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: That's only in August I do that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, I see. You're back on Fridays?
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Are you okay?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I know last week. No, last week. Are you okay? No,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I listen to you all the time, Mark. Ever since
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: your Saturday night show.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Jack, snap out of it. Come on. Yeah, in the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: summer I take Fridays. Here's the thing. I don't like
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to take a whole week off. I just can't stand
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: taking the whole week off. So I do it like
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: every Friday in August. It's a way of burning up
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: a week. How much vacation do I get? I think
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: it's four weeks. So you've got to figure out how
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to use it without affecting the show too much. But
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: that's why I do that. And we don't have politicians on.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: You know, if you listen to a radio show and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the guy says, coming up next, Senator Ron Phillips. As
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: soon as you hear Senator Ron, whoever, Congressman Jack, so
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and so, you hear Congressman, Senator. You don't want to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: hear a bunch of politicians on here. You want to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: hear people that are fun. Anyway, oh, you know who
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to next? ronda sheer we're going to talk
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: about new york she was here and we'll talk about
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: all sorts of things coming up on 710 wor
