• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. It's the last thing I expected to

  Speaker 1: come out of her. In Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Let's go to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: John in Ronkonkoma. John, how are you.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Doing?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I'm doing great.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I've got to follow that call up.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Anyway, so no mention of Long Island Pizza and the
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: best pizza.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You know, nobody can figure out why. You've got the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: greatest restaurants in Long Island. You don't have good pizza
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: in Long Island. Seriously. You don't have good pizza. David
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Portnoy has talked about this for years. You don't have
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: good pizza.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: You got good pizza.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: You ever go to Little Vincent's?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Little Vincent's is fantastic. Oh, please.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, please.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Remember, Mark, it's on Long Island.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Come on, get it right, would you please?
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: It's either one.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: You heard Billy Joel.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You can say either one. You can say in Long Island,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: on Long Island. Little Vincent's is.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know Billy Joel is off Long Island now, but,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Little Vincent's is famous for one thing. They have this
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: pizza where it's all cooked and done, and then they
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: throw cold cheese on top of it. Very cold cheese. Right, yeah.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: That's what they're famous for. As Portnoy said, dumb, gimmicky.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You know why that started, that cold pizza, throwing the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: cold cheese on it?
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know, get rid of the cheese that they
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: got to get rid of?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: No, years ago, drunken college kids would go there late
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: at night, and they'd bite into the hot pizza and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: burn themselves. That's why they threw cold cheese all over it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: There you go. Oh, actually, the best pizza is in
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a restaurant, Tutto Pazzo, now called Posto Pazzo in Huntington.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Makes the best pizza in the world. But it's a restaurant.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It's like a sit-down restaurant with waiters and you order.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I might have to try that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It's phenomenal. But order something else. They get mad when
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I plug the pizza because the big money is not
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in the pizza. Yeah, they want to order the chicken.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: That place has the best pizza in Long Island. But
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that doesn't count because that's a serious chef pizza. That's
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: not a fire slice kind of pizza. All right. Thanks
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: for calling. Take care. Let's go to Blauvelt in Florida. Blauvelt,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: how you doing? Blauvelt, are you there?
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I'm here. Can you hear me?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: What did you want to say?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: I said, what about Lombardi's on Spring Street? You never
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: talk about Lombardi's.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Very good. Excellent pizza. One of the finest and oldest
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: in Manhattan. Lombardi's is great.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: 1905. Yeah, 1905.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: That's the price of a slice, too. No, I'm kidding.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: That's a very good pizza.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Hey, why is Blakeman wasting money running ads on your show?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Is he running ads on our show?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just heard two in the last couple hours.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest. During the break, I went
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to the little boy's room. Was he running ads here?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard two.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That could be part of a deal. You know, if
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you're running for office and you're a Republican and you
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: say to yourself, I don't need to advertise there, they'll
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: vote for you. We have the most important stations you
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: could advertise on, like Charlemagne right over there, Power 105.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: The black votes, very important. Spanish votes, we've got KTU.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Whatever you need. Oh, so it's running over there, too? Yes,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: sometimes they buy an iHeart package where they're on every station,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: so it could be part of that. We have a
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: lot of sponsors who aren't even on the air, believe
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: it or not. They just want our social media. They
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: want to be all over our Instagram or TikTok, so
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's probably part of a big package buy.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for calling. Take care. Let's go to, let's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: go to Marie in Ossining. Marie, how you doing? Marie
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in Ossining. Are you there?
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Marie.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Can you hear me?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Marie.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Ossining, New York, where Don Draper lived. Go ahead.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Right. And Sing Sing prison.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I just have a question.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Um, I'm, you know, I don't understand why Kathy Hochul
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: has to make the choice of whether there's, whether she'll
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: debate or not. I mean, she's the governor. Yes, but
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: she's also a candidate. So I don't know. I mean,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: it just seems like unfair that she, you know, makes
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the decisions as to whether or not she will debate.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting because she didn't take public money. She
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: was able to raise so much money. If you don't
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: take the public money, you're not legally obligated to debate. She's,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Agreed to New York One, but only because that's the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: most left-wing biased place in the world. Oh, okay.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that. Yeah.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for calling. We've got time for one
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: more call. Thanks. Let's go to Ron in Westchester. Ron,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well, Mark. How are you?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Mark, are you familiar with the term vocal fry?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Vocal fry?
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Yes. No.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It's this.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Hi, Mark.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: How are you today?
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: That's not vocal fry. That's just the cry of the yenta.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: That's... Yeah. No, that's how are you. But this is like,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: can I take your order, please? It's exaggerated. Well, now.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You're talking about people that go, oh... When you say,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: how are you? Oh, I don't know. I'm tired. Oh,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I know the traffic.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: But now it appears on AI. I called a dental
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: insurance firm the other day and... She said, hi, this
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: is Donna. I'm your AI representative. Can I help you?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I said, Donna, where are you from? The Valley? And
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: she said, I'm so sorry about that.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that AI answering the phone. Hey, by the way,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: when you create your voicemail, you don't have to say,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not in right now. Leave your name. We know
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: what to leave. Leave your number. And leave the time
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that you called. What the hell do you need to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: know what time I called? What difference does that make?
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Everything is all exaggerated.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: It is. Ron, great call. Thanks for calling. Take care. Hey,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: when we come back, we're going to talk about The
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Tonight Show. We're going to talk about Johnny Carson. Mark Malkoff,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: he's the author of this great book called Love Johnny Carson.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It is the definitive book on Johnny Carson. But he's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: also got a podcast and he's also got This great sub-stick,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: we'll tell you all about it next on 710WOR.
