  Speaker 2: Curtis Leewall guest host The Mark Simone Show on sevent ten.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Woo oh yeah, generic music upon my return, you know,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: would have been appropriate, Dizzy Izzy if we to come
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: in with the Donna Summers classic on the radio. Huh.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, the diva of all divas when I was
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the whirling dervish on the dance floor at a number
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: of clubs. But anyway, the fact is, you come in
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: with generic music.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Ugh.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And by the way, as President of the United States,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: announced that today is Donald Trump Day. Yet I'm sure
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: that's going to come up within the course of his conversation, said, Hey,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: why we call it President's Day? Why don't we just
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: call it Donald Trump? Dey and all of his six
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: fans todies and lack his brilliant idea, outstanding, you the best.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: You're better than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Come on, yeah,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: keep feeding that umongous ego that needs a crane to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: get him in and out of the Oval office. See,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna hear that on talk radio. It's like
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: an echo chamber. I love Trump. Oh, it's sort of
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: like it's like a Barney song. Yeah, I hated Barney.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I had to watch Barney with my sons growing up.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And it's just I'll get to that momentarily. Yeah, we're
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: gonna talk about President's Day. We're gonna talk about Epstein.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: One thing I do give for President Trump a lot
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: of credit for is opening up those files. Although Pam
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Bondy was, eh, we do all on my desk. No,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: they weren't. We'll get to that. Oh yeah, and oh
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: wait a second, wait a second was starting to open
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: up the investigation of what was said to be the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: suicide of one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna let you think about d I'm just
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: gonna say, twenty seven, twenty seven, twenty seven, all right,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: maybe you can connect the dots. We're gonna touch it all,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Zoran Man Dami. The snow is still out there and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: it's turned yellow, you know from what yellow snow and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: all the homeless and emotionature. Yeah, we're gonna cover it all.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: But whenever I do talk radio and I come in
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to studios like here a w Awar, I think of
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: all those people who are paved the way for so
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: many of us to just read talking points and get paid.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Because really, that's what talk radio has become. I'm gonna
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: get into that momentarily. But uh, the one thing I
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: noticed out of the that I watched with my wife Nancy,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the only thing I really liked. Although I liked Bad Bunny, Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I did like Bad Bunny saw on first time when
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: he did that duo with Drake and Puerto Rico. Good stuff.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: The rest of you could have watched something else, you see,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that's the beauty of America. If you don't like what
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you're watching or listening to, you have a variety of options.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: You either turn it off or change the channel. Huh,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: let's call variety. That's what America is. Free speech. It's
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: not one point of view, one way. This is the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: only way you challenge authority. You question, you have curiosity,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: don't just become a lemming. Unfortunately for many listen to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: talk radio, that's what it's becoming. It's chased others away.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: But I pay tribute first to Bernard McGirk. Every time
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I did talk radio at WABC, the ecroonym stood for
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Olwish Broadcasting Curtis thirty five years I would give a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: tribute to Bernard McGirk because unfortunately he passed away in
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two at sixty four, should never have died.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: He didn't take a PSA test, the simple prick of
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the finger. So if we're gonna achieve anything in these
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: two hours, maybe we can save some lives out there.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: There was this one commercial as amazed, I saw Glankowski
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: tight end and so another guy think was George Kittle
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: sitting there actual tight ends who played in the NFL.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And it said a PSA test will allow a man
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to relax his tight end. And I said, man, this
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: is good because one in eight men will be diagnosed
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: with prostate cancer. And unfortunately, even though there are a
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: lot of remedies now, that didn't exist when I had
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: stage four prostate cancer and unfortunately I had my prostate
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: out there weren't other remedies. I'm still paying the price today.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Bernard McGirk lost his life because he didn't get a
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: simple prick of the finger of blood test. Please, wherever
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you are listening to this show today, there's nothing more
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: important than saving lives. We're going to talk about that
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: later on when we talk about Jeron Mondomi. His inability
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to save the lives of homeless and emotionally disturbed persons
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: that froze to death. I know I was personally out
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: there with the Guardian Angels. You can check all of
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that out on my social networking. Well, we paid tribute
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to him because I remember the day he died. WABC
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: was never the same, never the same as he is.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: He You were there, you remember that guy Knew talk radio.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately for the others who remain, it's like a repetition
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: over and over, the same show, over and over and over.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: The other one, naturally, I have to pay tribute to
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: is the king of all talk radio, Bob Grant. Nobody
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: was better. Not only was he enlightening and toltless things
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: we didn't know, but most important, he was entertaining. He
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: would give you a good belly laugh. When's the last
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: time you had a really good belly laugh listening to
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Talk Creative, I'll tell you I get migraines. I got
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a flip to EDM electronic dance music with my wife. Oh,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: host of DM song starting with Chainsmokers. Don't let me down.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: A lot of you did in the election. I don't
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: want to hear that tizzy issy people come up to me.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I vote a few. If all the people came up
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to me voted for me, I would have been mayor
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: of the City of New York and we would have
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: been in better shape at this point. No, we'll get
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to that later on. And then, of course this thing
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: of ours, talk radio was created by and when I
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: say talk radio, I mean taking calls from people you
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: never heard before in the radio, not the same old callers.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Oh my Dona, my door. I got to listen to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: that guy a gala again. It's like since one day
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a part of the show. How about allowing new peace
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: people will call in? Do you know that less than
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: one percent of people listen to talk radio in their
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: whole lives? Less than one percent of called in. And
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: it's the same people over and over again. And dizzy Isy,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: when we open up the phones today, you better not
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: be taking the same old callers. Or let me just say,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you will feel vibrations from me that will rock you
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: from your toes to your nose. Good talk radio. A
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: lot of callers different who disagree with you. Not just
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a love fast. Remember how I said, Parney, You know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: listening to the echo chamberon Oh I Love You, I
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Love you, I remember I used to look at that
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: purple monster up there. I love you, you love me.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: We're a happy family with a great big hug. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: it kissed from me to you. Won't you say you
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: love me too? If I had a forty four magnum,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I would have shot him right there and at our caa.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I think it was in ours a TV. Remember Elvis
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: did that, Yeah, that's right, Elvis did that in Memphis.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: And then Talk told Red, hey go out and get
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: me a new TV. He didn't like something on TV.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Took out. I think it was twenty two or thirty eight.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Bam, that's what I felt like. It's like an echo chamber.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Where's the different thoughts we are, the different people challenging
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: what you just said. That's that's what must change.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: And you know where talk radio, real talk radio was
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: created right here? Wor Did you know that this he
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: is he? Most people don't know that. They have no
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: idea how talk radio got started. Well, it was very
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: gray right here, WI. This was the DJ at night.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, Woody Herman called in after he
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: played a Woody Herman song and the suits were listening
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, that's pretty good. And then he started
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: letting callers, normal average everyday people call. Oh that's even better,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: that's our talk radio started. If you're not taking calls,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: then it's a mini podcast. Guests oo far with these guests,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: you hear them, you know, I sample talk radio at night.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: You can get in on the podcast when I finish
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: a long workday. My wife says to me, are you
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: a masochist?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I mean you really you must loathe yourself to have
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to listen to the same discussions with the same guests
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: on four or five different formats.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: You see him on Fox News and see it, and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: then you hear them on the radio. It's the same.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: They never break stride. Guess so far, any guests you
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: got callers and obviously the host the hostess gotta do
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: preparation show prep. Yeah, two hours of prep for one
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: every one hour on the air. That means I have
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: to relate to you the listeners, things that maybe you
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: didn't know. So even if you don't like my opinion,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: you know, likewise, maybe if you learn something. We just
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: did that announcement, the PSA test is gonna save people's lives.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And you didn't have to hear it at PSA format.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: You heard it from your truly critics who had stage
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: four prostate cancer. So a lot of people who have
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: said to me, well, what are you gonna do? What
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: are you gonna do? Now? It's three months after the election,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: November fourth, little more than three months, and I gotta
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: tell you a lot of people would tell me, forget,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: don't go back to talk radio. You've done it thirty
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: five years. Nobody did it better in New York City
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: other than the king of talk radio, Bob Grant. Come on,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I don't even come close. But it turns a longevity.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: And of course the great Mark Simone, no doubt about it. Man,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: that guy's a smooth operator. Every time I hear Mark
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: on the air, I think of that shad Ay song classic.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I first heard it in the eighties and London outside
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: of Array when I was patrolling with the Cardian Angels
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: said smooth operator by Shade Man. He is the smoothest.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: But I have determined, after consulting with the best thing
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: that ever happened in my life, and I have restated
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: that a number of times. On Valentine's Day, you may
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: have seen my post and Nancy's post. We did it
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: with Tiny, who was a cat and Nancy rescued from
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: a hoarding situation who would not socialize. We took pictures.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Boy Tiny has assimilated with so many other cats that
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: my wife and others out there have rescued over the
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: years and then either forced them out or adopted them out.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: The best thing that ever happened in my life. You know,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: people have wanted me to do videos podcasting, a lot
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: of gen z's and millennials now following me. They invited
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: me to Yale University right for debate seven different groups
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: that went from conservatives to progressives to DSSA. And I
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: came out of there after two and a half hours
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and they were saying, well, you're the uniter, and now
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: who's lining up? We got Harvard, we got Princeton lining up,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: we got corn Now, we got Queen's College, we got Hopshow,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: we got others. And so the millennials in gend esze
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: is to say, yeah, well where can we find you
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: wick it? They don't listen to talk radio. Come on,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: let's be honest, right, come on, dizzy is he they
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: don't listen to talk right? If it's people fifty five plus?
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: And some people say, well, do the podcast for the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: millennials in gend zee Is. They have an insatiable appetite
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: to find out more about what you do, Curtis and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: all the things you've been through, which y'all a lot.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I said, yeah, yeah, I can't do that. But the
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: other day my wife said, Valentine, say, he said, you
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: got a mission. You know, everywhere we go, people who
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: are your age, Curtis, because she's millennial, your age, say hey,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: would you come back and save talk radio? That's what
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: they say. This he is he because I gotta tell you,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: especially those who used to listen to WABC, they'll tell me, hey,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I missed listening to you you on seventy seven WABC.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: You will never hear my voice on there again, because
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: they're always backstabbing me, blaming me for Mondami's win, bashing me.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I listen less and less to WABC and turn into
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: other stations. But I listened less and less to talk
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: radio in general, and I understand it. And speaking of WABC,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: they seem to have gone out of their way to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: find anybody who loves to bash or blame Curtis to
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: bring on the radio. Andrew evilized Cuomo Wright. Hey, Andrew,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I said, Tom, he too, so you prove your know
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: spatci man, you are boring radio. But he loves to
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: bash me. Now they're bringing on Frnando Matel, who I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: beat in the Republican primary for mayor in twenty twenty one. Yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: this he is because he's promised for two hours he's
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: gonna do nothing but bash Curtis and blame Curtis for
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: zorn Mondamis. And no doubt soon they'll bring the crypto
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: criminal himself, the blockchain man best known for crime Coin
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: aka bitcoin, Eric Adams Swagerman with no plan. By the way,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: where did that million dollars go? Eric? First? Out of
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the box? You know, the token token New York City.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: That nonsense, A million dollars disappeared. But they'll probably give
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: me a job too, and it'll be one big echo chamber.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: So stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for me
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: to get back into the mix of talk radio in
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: addition to all the other things that I'm doing. Because
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: it's twenty hours out of a twenty four hour day,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I don't stop. I'm in the subways and I'm in
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the streets, and none of the rest of them are.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: So now, as a tribute to real talk radio. You
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: have a chance to be heard. I don't want to
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: hear the same old voices, the same old names for
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: some of you. I've seen you out there. I can
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: put a face to the name. Don't want to hear
